Well, as long as you can recover from an onsite backup after logging into your system and completely destroying everything you can, it counts.

An incremental snapshot to a remote is as good as a backup as WD users just found out.

>The point where the backup is made could have a zero-day propagate to the tape machine

Again, the point here is the failure of the backup is decoupled from the failure of your system.

Again, everything is on a spectrum, and we can argue about definitions, however, a copy on a hard drive that's sitting on your bookshelf is decoupled from whatever happens to your computer unless both get destroyed (or stolen) - and that's how good that backup solution is.

The data on a RAID array will go poof if you accidentally rm -rf that partition, so the chances of it failing when the system fails are very high. Hence it's an awful backup solution.

What you have to consider is not whether the chances of failure are high or low, but where the chances of failure of both the system and the backup at the same time are non-negligible.

The wild and still somewhat enduring success of the linksys wrt54g seems like it would be enough to get some companies to do it.
Bro, they are letting you literally doodle children’s art and create solid photo manipulations. This kind of stuff took at least some creativity by hobbyist photoshoppers.

Should people in higher cost places by given greater subsidy? Isn't a better approach to hold the tax relief/credits steady so that populations are incentivized to move and occupy less populated areas that are in lower demand and have lower costs? There is a bit of a chicken-and-egg problem with what moves first - people or economic opportunity. But I do think having a more distributed economy would resolve a lot of tensions American society experiences today.
I wondered the same. There is some solid competition in this area right now, without AI assisted asset generation.

Unreal 5 has a new, free, 3d model library integrated as Quixel Bridge. [1]

Kitbash 3D, a company selling modular 3D sets used regularly in Beeple’s 2d provides mid-res, theme-based sets for customized use.

Neither take into account the idea of fully featured 3d objects being built from basic primitive using ML.

It makes sense that it will go this direction though, because it means designers can get unique 3D assets customized to the size and dimensions with less work.

Couple this with Apple’s photogrammetry in iOS 15 it seems original 3D assets available for training data will swell greatly.

Right, the trouble's getting text messages and such through to your laptop (text message 2fa is so nice with a synced phone—auto fill!), if you have multiple clients. One work phone + personal phone (or tablets, or whatever) is fine. It's when you have three clients, and maybe they rotate out sometimes, that it gets to be a little annoying.

... unless you can add multiple iCloud accounts to one phone. I guess I've never tried, because I just assumed you couldn't. Though you'd still have the problem of things like dev builds and all that existing in the same space, and email accounts (on the phone) syncing to the same application without much separation, and all that.

Yup, I also do this. Photos get moved into monthly folders, and every now and then, I run "par2create par2file *".

Before I did this, in the past, I restored from backup and found I had damaged jpeg files. With par2, there's at least a recourse.
I am learning how the audio stacks in Windows and Linux work. I plan to create a simple library to play sound on both platforms (like RTAudio/PortAudio but simpler).

the best google result I ever saw was "disney children songs" with a google image search returning a very explicit pornographic picture....

I would say my favorite things about Starlette are:

- refined - it feels like all the lessons from DRF were put into Starlette.

- lightweight - minimal dependencies, isn't built specifically for relational data (no orm or other constructs from django that were originally built around models etc)

- flexible - has just enough to build the basics without being too opinionated (app/request/response), let's you choose how to handle things like serialization (e.g. add marshmallow)

- documentation - like DRF, has very solid documentation.

- asgi - the successor to wsgi in many ways, allows things like background tasks so I don't need to set up celery.

- authentication/middleware - easy to set up and customize, again clear documentation and api surface

There's probably more, such as it support for websockets, push, and more, but for me I'm just running a standard http api (sqwok.im).

I used to work in a data centre doing infrastructure; I’m a metal fabricator by trade and now run and operate a laser cutter full time; I’ve done plenty of industrial spray painting; and heaps of press operating; plenty of CAD / CAM experience.

With trainee under me, I could have built these for you in-house and been useful the rest of the month when fabrication and painting etc was done.

That would have been fun!

HARD disagree. Use a separate personal machine and a KVM switch or hub/dock.

They usually have extreme security guidelines for employees. All external laptop ports disabled, so no way to plug in periphery nor connecting a tv for a presentation.

No internet access at on laptops or only with a sim card which only allows connections to the VPN bastion host etc. Direct Internet on premise is a no-go as well, obviously. So no checking stack overflow if you've got any issues

They still leave infrastructure with default passwords exposed to the internet and implement questionable password policies for their customers... But they do everything they can in order to sabotage their employees!

Logic, math and science have been criticized for being the tools of the dominating class that perpetuate oppression. That bothers me, logic was supposed to be the way we can resolve our differences, not something specific to a group identity.

It seems the critics care more about fighting the social justice war than acknowledging the degree of cooperation we have achieved between groups, including access to science, technology and culture no matter what your identity is relative to that of the original creator.

It used to be the church criticizing science that run afoul of religious dogma. Now it's critical social justice. The end effect is that we can't talk anymore so all we are left with is social warfare.
I'm with you on this. I don't run a NAS and never will.
If you are still making money you may consider outsourcing the v2 development. Even if you still want to exit it'll attract a much higher price.
In my city, the qualifications for being a LEO keep dropping. It used to be that you had to have some college credit hours, which degraded to completing high school, which degraded to at least a GED. Now, I think you just have to apply and be able to pass the physical; there is basically no mental standard. On top of this, the budget is so tight that they basically have one day at the range for training.

So, yes, I agree that LEOs should get better benefits (salary, car, insurance, etc.) as well as much more training. Maybe then we can have LEOs that can handle the job instead of young men with inferiority complexes that just want to bully people.
There are pretty standard industry limits in Cloud DNS (AWS, Microsoft, Google):

10,000 DNS zones per customer

10,000 resource records per zone

Both can be increased by request

At scale, query costs work out at $200 USD to answer 1 billion uncached queries, depending on TTLs that might actually deliver tens or hundreds of billions of answers to users.

It's possible DNS providers and DNS resolvers (like Cloudflare, Google etc) might put limits in place. We're hoping not.

Since TXT records are best delivered when below 5kb, it's pretty tough to store a couple of gb of data in your domain using NUM but certainly possible. If NUM is a big success, DNS providers might decide to charge for DNS data transfer rather than individual queries.

Edit: line spacing
but will it? my very limited experience with animation has been characterized by control: it's storytelling and creation where the creator is responsible for every fraction of a second. The value of this type of AI is in ceding control to an algorithm and letting it deal with the hard parts. My limited understanding is sort of pointing to a difference in goals of the two projects: one is for control, the other is for ease. And I don't think ease has a very stable place in animation.

We've stumbled to this point, not unstained from the a garden of eden, but from simple ruthless RNA lifeforms at the bottom of the ocean, to the point where can ponder our own existence. To look at ourselves and be disgusted means that within us we have evolved the capacity to desires something better, to believe it would be better to live with kindness and integrity. Generation by generation we are becoming kinder and more peaceful, but it's slow lumpy progress that's going to take centuries.
Is there any possibility in your mind that depression and deep unhappiness might mean that only the the terrible things about people are resonating with you and not the good and the potential. If your thinking is solid it then it won't be swayed by a good meal, a good night's sleep, getting somewhere warm, somewhere people are kind, somewhere you can do something kind for someone else. But it might give you a moment of relief, and in that moment you might find that there is a way to live, not off the system, not back to normal but a niche you hadn't thought of where you can live with integrity with less pain.

The US is the giant outlier in this graph. It spends a tremendous amount of money for mediocre results.
Don't know why you are downvoted. It is a bit charged, but very correct. It was predicted quite some time ago and Microsoft isn't really user orientated. I probably drop Windows after 10, I use it less and less.

curl has a very handy --resolve option for that:

How. Like literally, how.
Cronet on the client side is no brainer, at least for Android. It's Chrome's network stack. I wonder what they're using on the server side. Is there any obvious choice that is not even worth a mention, or they implemented it by themselves ?
Windows 11 – Feature deprecations and removals
Web sites used to exist before advertising was pervasive and will continue to exist after. By removing all the ad funded businesses squatting in the space, we make room for alternatives. Just think - forums run by enthusiasts rather than people who think they can make money off of enthusiasts. Web sites designed to maximize knowledge transfer, rather than maximize rage and web traffic. It can certainly be free or nearly so to host a web site that doesn't need to maximize engagement. They won't be as slick, but they don't need to be because they are not trying to sell you anything. Or... who knows, lets see what people come up with! Its sure to be better than the status quo, which many of us are opting out of with ad-blockers and privacy plugins and simply going to alternative sources.
Why do those ads need to be so aggressively targeted? I don’t mind ads related to the primary topic of the website for example. I might actually find those useful! What I have a problem with is the invasion of privacy created by highly personalized, persistent profiling of my life for the purpose of selling things to me.

This is also true of many manufacturers - a lot of the 'extras' that each trim level gets are just configurable settings in the ECU.

> The notion that there is a work laptop and a personal laptop and naer the twain shall meet is a complete anachronism. It’s fine if that separation helps other people but it actively hurts me.

Wow.. All I can suggest is think through the consequences. Unless you work for yourself or a very tiny startup, your employer is monitoring everything you do and store on the work computer.

You may also get cut off at any moment with zero notice if there are layoffs. If you had any personal content there, you've lost it.

Also, depending on where you live, but it can also mean now the company has a strong ownership claim to anything and everything you do in side projects since it is being done on company equipment.

The long game is for companies to store NUM data when they register a domain, potentially through their DNS provider or web designer. Maybe even storing machine readable data instead of a website, since many small business websites are cookie-cutter anyway – contact info, directions, menu etc.

Public data is available for most domain registries, e.g Nominet [0] and others [1] so we crawl new domains to discover contact data.

It could be good to chat (email elliott[dot]brown@num.uk), we're in the process of mashing up Companies House data with our contact data in an effort to provide company numbers in NUM records too.

I'm not sure why so many people in this comment section dislike cars. To most people they are a benefit, not a burden. Cars let you have fast point to point travel on your own terms, with no waiting times, no dealing with crimes/harassment, protection from weather, the ability to transport cargo/other people, and the freedom to go where you want. I personally love parking minimums and the availability of street parking spaces because they enable this system of direct travel from door to door. It means I am able to lose less time to transit and live a richer life as a result of having fast access to all those destinations. Not all cities have to be the same or follow the same urbanist dictate. People are varied, and carry different preferences. It's OK for some places to elect to have parking minimums and build infrastructure, community, and lifestyle that is car-centric.

And as for costs of living - I don't think it is fair to say that zoning is to blame. Zoning is a choice by a community to preserve the lifestyle and neighborhood character they have built, and there's nothing wrong with that. Yes it may be inconvenient for potential new residents, but so what - local government logically should serve its current residents. I don't think that's particularly selfish, since we could just as well ask those seeking out low cost living to be realistic about their options and live within their means. Why is anyone entitled to live wherever they want at whatever cost they want? If someone can't afford to live in San Francisco or other such high demand high cost location, they are just as free to seek out a lower-cost life elsewhere. America has no shortage of places where one can make a living and thrive. Sure those locations may not have the exact job someone wants or the amenities they want or whatever else - but that's life - you don't get everything you want, and expecting otherwise feels like the dictionary definition of entitlement.
The draft specifically tells you not to do that:

"If the data is to be sent via some other transport, a transport encoding suitable for that transport should be used instead of Base45."

Base45 is mainly useful for binary information in QR codes.
