I didn't take it that way, so don't worry. (:

Sorry, I might have gotten carried away with all of the fancy words. (: The "morphological" part comes from linguistics (see the "Morphology (linguistics)" article on wikipedia), by "unified" I meant that I apply it to every kind of texts, and an "engine" is just another word for "software" (think "game engine" - a reusable piece of software that can be used for many things in a single domain).
I don't think NJB is arguing against the use of cars outside the city (although he's a big fan of trains, naturally). But also don't forget it's not just bougies living in the city, it's working-class people too, who often can't afford to have a car in the city and so need properly working public transport.
WireGuard is a VPN protocol. There are roughly two kinds of VPN. Those that you use to hide who you are when accessing the Internet (route all your traffic via the VPN to an exit node) and those that you use to build a private network over a public one for e.g. a company or other organization.

Wiretrustee seems to be for generating a private org network. Could be personal, work, circle of friends or anything. Most traditional work VPNs have one or more nodes that all traffic pass through and that all connect to. A mesh VPN instead allows VPN peers to send traffic directly to each other over the public Internet. There seems to be a central coordination/signaling server, as with tailscale, headscale and innernet. But that is mainly used to find where the traffic should be sent, not for sending all traffic through it.
I mean

I guess, different things for different people

I worked at startups, I thought I will try my best at Big Corp, and instead of directly working on user facing products, we just had a 6 person team work for 1 year on backend of an internal tool, which we didn’t ultimately even ship. (All the while shouting “agile” and “microservice” randomly.)

It was so bizare and soul crushing and made me leave and never look back. And back to start-ups.

The money was good though.
You are confusing scarcity and monetary hardness. Its super easy to create more sacks of garbage, and if demand for them shot up, a ton of people would bring their own sacks to market, crashing the garbage sack price. This happened to silver between the two sold wars, and nations that abandoned bimetal standards late lost a lot of monetary value to those on just gold.

Monetary hardness is whether its easy or hard to introduce more supply of a commodity money when demand goes up. More dollars are printed in response to demand, more gold mined in response to rising gold prices, more sacks of rubbish if that's what people clamor for. Dollars are harder money than sacks of garbage (unless we're talking about the failed Zimbabwe dollar), gold is harder than dollars.

However, more bitcoin CAN'T be created than the predetermined, declining schedule. Today, bitcoin's stock to flow is roughly equal to gold, but at its next halving it will double its hardness, and that will double again at every subsequent halving. So, bitcoin will become exponentially the hardest money ever created.

Scarcity is only part if monetary hardness. But perhaps you're right regarding future price: in the future (as is true presently), one bitcoin will be worth exactly 100,000,000 satoshis.
And were those promises formalized in a contract somewhere?
Knubbelmac.de – sometimes less is more
Huh, you know, I've never seen that before. I guess restaurants around here know people wouldn't put up with it. Basically all of them switched to single-use paper menus.

I am no cheerleader for Ryanair... But most of your arguments don't really hold.

1. What's wrong with recycled seats? If you live in a city you are drinking recycled water.

2. Comparing a trans-atlantic flight to a short-haul one (which all Ryanair flights are) is not correct. Short-haul Aer Lingus is not discernably different to Ryanair.

3. Michael O'Leary is the king of free publicity. The fact that you heard about his "coin operated toilet" plan says it all. No-one ever seriously entertained standing room on airplanes etc...

And none of this has any bearing on the recent hijacking.
I've flown many times with Ryanair and otherairlines, with small kids in tow, and there is little difference, because most of the hassle is down to security theatre at the airports.
There are definitely some things to be considered here, however I find that most people drastically overestimate the amount of work associated with hosting things.

Also they tend to underestimate the amount of work required when using managed solutions. For example, you'll certainly want to do secondary backups and test restores even for managed options.
No probs mate
Finding a single scapegoat for a single incident when estimated spectators numbers are 12-15 million per year and poor behaviour driven by television broadcasting has been going on for decades is just a distraction from the elephant in the room. The huge money making event cannot really be run safely.
This must be a very personal experience as I recognize none of this and never heard this from anyone either. I think you just simply need a newer phone. I have a cheap Samsung and I live in a place where the sun is always on and usually no clouds, and yet I walk kilometers every day doing work on my phone. No issue reading anything. And like the others say: the camera app automatically and very robustly pics up qr codes when you wave it past it.

I like qr codes anyway: I don't like dead tree printing or touching stuff that is not mine but had a million hands on it (I had that before covid).
Thanks, I vaguely remember learning concepts of cryptography from khan academy when I was 15 or so, really great website.

Since then some time passed and I visited the website on few occasions and I remember being astonished how much content they added.

Thanks again for your advice, I appreciate it
Indeed, and if it stops working, debugging the wire will be much easier than reverse-engineering an obsolete mobile application.

If you need wireless and are not adverse to some tinkering, a pair of Arduinos, a button, a buzzer and a pair of RF 433MHz transceivers [1] may do the trick!

Nah sorry. The reason companies that own social media don’t offer ad and tracker free versions is because then they’d have to say to their userbase what they’ll remove, and thereby what’s in the regular product. Their business model depends upon the ignorance of their userbase of what they’re doing, and they’re holding their network as hostage for those who don’t wish to participate.

Unfederated and (forced) open systems is the only way out of this.
on iPhone it is a single gesture from a locked phone to scan the QR code

I also really love how many restuarants put a QR code on the receipt that opens Apple Pay
Here in Braunschweig (a smaller city) a lot of restaurants are using QR Code based menus. So I would assume you simply haven't been eating out.
I have no experience with a 4 day work week at a startup, quite the opposite.

The plain truth was that we needed to bring a product to market (it was a medical device). It was an engineering office were we did everything from manufacturing to visiting exhibitions and talking to medical advisory boards. I even got my own smock and did test runs in hospitals and people believed I was a doctor. I also crawled on my knees in one of my best suits at an exhibition to fix a broken fuse for the device.

It was more a 6 day work week, not the best work-life-balance. After it was established however, work was much more relaxed. I guess the question you should also ask is if the startup is already able to carry itself. If not, time is important and you should expect to work more than a comparable job at an established company.

I am no workaholic, but it was a really fun time. Wouldn't want to do that all my life though. 4 days working is entirely enough for me for that matter.
I'd be fascinated to hear more about this.

Where do the SQLite files live? Are you using some kind of NFS or EFS or similar for them? Sharding them across many machines?

How are you handling backups and high availability? Are you using Litestream?

How many SQLite files do your application servers have open at any one time?
It works fine if my thumb even taps my ring finger, but without it the ring finger doesn't like staying down.
This assumes the peers have static IPs? Or how is changing peer IPs handled?
I use it for connecting my tiny SMTP ingress machine to my big SMTP backend machine and doing the ClamAV scanning over the VPN link (because it's now far too heavy for the tiny SMTP machine these days but the big machine has plenty of resources free.)
Usually the restaurant hasn’t made their own site but is paying some menus-as-a-service company to handle it for them.

E.g. https://www.meandu.com.au/
Here in Iceland they've popped up primarily for outdoor seated areas. Presumably so the wait staff don't have to keep an eye outside and inside particularly as the outside seating tends to be more densely packed. There seems to be a pretty standardized web app as well which lets you order and pay in the app and then your food and drinks just magically appear.

That said the last time we used it was a bit of a fiasco as the web app was out of date with the actual menu. So we ordered and paid then the waiter had to come out and swap a bunch of stuff around. I have no idea why they didn't just take the QR codes down until they fixed things but there you go.
I came here to say roughly this, so thank you for saving me the trouble
BYU research examines motives of internet trolling
I've made a pretty successful career out of just a terminal and vim, which drives 95% of what I do work wise. I only need the browser for slack, zoom and jira.

And jira I could interact with through vim/emacs if I really hated myself. Slack and zoom I mostly view as distractions from work.

It honestly would make sense for me to use my laptop for browser-based work and be entirely terminal-only with my workstation. Lots of people like us still exist in the workplace. I'm not even 40 yet.
Its China, you cant call officials out publicly for "being in error". This sure sounds like Audi 5000 sudden unintended acceleration all over again.
> During the forager era

I think my lifestyle is closer to that era, I can forage 100% of my daily diet these days (figs!, but other months it can be persimons, clementines/mandarines, peaches, ..). I feel more or less disconnected to the "modern" society conventions
Yup, still self host the DB as I have been doing for over 20 years. Have 40GB stored in MariaDB.
GDS style/rules require an alternative where JavaScript is disabled, so I would expect this has been considered.
I would add Consultancy/Contracting as a must have experience in that list of 'work settings to try before you die'.

If you do contracting work you will get a _huge_ variety of work in different problem domains. You really learn a lot in the costumer facing part of it, specially if you are more introvert and also the constant networking needed to have a steady stream of work and clients (You also learn that there is no money in the world that is worth putting up with some unhinged clients).

One thing that is important to highlight is that although you can learn many things in all of these settings, they also carry different stress levels, I would rank from lowest to highest stress (highest to lowest Quality of Life):

1. Small old company

2. Large old company

3. Consultancy

4. Young Startup
It was never a big thing until a package showed up two-days after it was ordered, on a Sunday. From then on Amazon has been the Rube Goldberg-esque machine that runs on human suffering between my girlfriend and I.

While it had been mentioned in the past, it was the delivery on a Sunday that really helped drive the point home, somehow.

I like the other guys answer, but also always wondered wether something like this could be integrated (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/homebiogas/the-new-home...) maybe the heavy part under the floor...and the gaseous in the walls?) any way I also wanted to suggest you look into led lighting for micro greens and solar cookers)
You of course know diesel engines can be run on filtered cooking oil, personally I enjoy freeriding no gear (or for smaller roads) motor going downhill, it's incredible how far inertia will take you..:-) I always dreamed of a gps which would take such driving style into account and calculate optimal moment to disengage the gear...(as I came to Ankara, I had a wow 10km freeride)
On the same note in a green future it would be fun to see tinkerers integrate a "Twike" style assist for driver and passengers

Even without a time machine to witness it, we can be certain that the evolutionary process has sorted away ancestors who failed to reproduce, leaving only those fit for the environment.

But like machine learning, we can never know why life “chose” one way over the other. Still, that any trait in us or other species, psychology or other, is selected by evolution must be true, as any trait selected away by evolution by definition does not live. The alternative explanation of our psychology would require a supernatural spiritual force, which is even harder to falsify with experiment than evolutionary psychology.

So to questions of “why” natural selection chose us who live now to have the psychology we have, can never be answered by experiment.

When we can’t find knowledge through experiment, wouldn’t logic deduction and educated guesses/models be the best method - leaving us with the flawed but but interesting subject of the evolution of our psychology
Indeed, it makes them more effective in actually educating, but the effect is multiplicative, and not additive. The tool that is gamified needs to be effective in the first place, so ideally you'd need both.
Keys as well, makes me puke
web is not an awesome tech
Looks good. I use ansible to automate WireGuard setup between my nodes (n=5, m=5, m being personal devices such as phones, iPad etc and n being servers) and it works well. Can’t automate the part where I’ve to manually scan a QR code for phones though.
Ether sees record outflows in last week of June -CoinShares
Same experience scattered across US as well, aside from compulsory tipping and added sympathy for service industry working - different conversation

but I do love paying with Apple Pay, I always hated how wait staff doesn't carry around Point of Sale systems in the US and that it takes multiple steps to 1) wait to get their attention again to get the bill 2) wait to get their attention again to pay for the bill 3) wait for them to return with your payment method and hope they don't get sidetracked. Now its down to just 1) in places with QR codes on receipts.

That's super weird because I have the original Pixel and it has no problem scanning QR codes from the camera app. That's a pretty big QoL downgrade two versions later.

I disagree. Climate Change is first and foremost an economical problem. Our society developed our economy model around reducing costs in the production to maximize our profit. The Climate change doesn't play a role in that model. Creating rules and policies, just forces the Economy model to find a way to hack through them (sending production to different countries, planting trees somewhere else, etc)
Okay, good point, and that's exactly why you isolate your networks. You don't want to be one configuration option from being wide open.
"Question: is there a comparable service for postgresql like mongodb atlas?"

So many options. Amazon RDS and Google Cloud SQL both offer PostgreSQL. Heroku PostgreSQL has been a solid option for years. Crunchy Data's Crunchy Bridge is a recent offering with serious talent behind it.
Pimsleur really is a fantastic method. I'm surprised it has dropped into relative obscurity.

For those who don't know, the Pimsleur language tapes involved learning a bunch of phrases and repeating them back to the tape. This would build into full conversations using the phrases, along with dropping out particular words like changing "eat" into "drink". There was essentially no written component.

The lessons also had an element of spaced repetition: Phrases from lesson 1 would pop up again in lesson 3, and then again in lesson 7 just to check you hadn't forgotten them.

Paul Pimsleur marveled at the invention of the tape recorder, saying that now students would be able to record and practice samples of real language while on the go. Nowadays everyone has a 'tape recorder' and then some in their pocket, but most methods seem to ignore audio completely, or let it take second place to written language.

I will give this a try, I have an unfinished jigsaw where the remaining pieces are all white, I'm not sure this is the kind of case that it was designed for but the brute force method required to complete the jigsaw has taken all the fun out of it.
Welcome. But please don't post the same message multiple times like that. It makes the thread hard to read, and you should not feel like you need to address every comment separately if this response already covers all the points.
>E.g. GDPR is a great tool just maliciously implemented by companies that have an interest to do so - 90% of the banners you see are purposefully designed to be annoying and delivered by a small group of ad networks.

But then why does https://europa.eu/ also have this banner? Surely, if this were so easy then the European Union's commission could at least be able to make a website without the banner, no?

And I agree that GDPR isn't all bad, but they had plenty of previous experience to come up with a better system than what we ended up with on the pop-up front. They knew that this would happen, because it happened previously. And yet they did it anyway.
If you could be the best in the world at something, what would it be? Let's ignore market for now. There's a lot of well paid jobs, and it's easier when you're the best option for it.

What do you love about your work now? 5 years as a VP of engineering is impressive for someone with a total of 10 years experience. Are you a great technical leader? Do you enjoy systems?

Maybe list down the things that you're happy with doing, and things that you're able to do which others hate doing.
Correct, peers must have a static IP. We could imagine to build a small extra tool to automate regenerate the config in case of IP change but could be a bit tricky :)
This uses features of the image itself and not the shape of the pieces. If all the pieces are white then this isn't going to work for you.

This accelerator is just to make more high risk capital available in certain select fields. It's actually a very small thing that the EU has fielded, the real solution has been and continues to be The Capital Markets Union (https://ec.europa.eu/info/business-economy-euro/growth-and-i...)

It's far from completed, but I understand some of the more important actions have been done and it's already had a significant impact.
To my understanding, recorded temperatures don't go that long ago for us to use that alone and establish deviation from the real old past.

And as said, the availability of thermometers (specially in the oceans) has increased over time (i.e. more data coming in more recently). This should skew averages. Besides, the validity of thinking in averages in a pretty wild range of temperatures this planet demonstrates could be questioned anyway.

Furthermore, cities have grown dramatically in the last century. Urbanisation creates more heat and thermometers in cities (which of course are used as a reference too), have been steadily reflecting that fact, obviously.

But the problem is, discussing those things put you in the "petrol head" "let's pollute" field, which is definitely not my case. They are attempts to silence the discussion, in my view.
When they work well, they're really good, but when they work badly, they're _really_ bad.

The other week, I went for dinner at a place that had a online ordering system. My experience was as follows...

Arrive at the table, scan the QR code

No phone signal in the restaurant, so I need to connect to the wifi.

Connect to the wifi, get a captive portal

Need to put my phone number in to connect to the wifi; there is no signal, so I need to go outside, to receieve the confirmation code.

Connected to the wifi, scan the code again, choose my food.

Go to pay, need to register an account

Put my email address in, I already have an account on this food ordering service!?

Do a password reset

Put in my credit card details (why not use apple pay?).

This whole time, we're sat at a table, in theory to meet friends, but we've spent the first 15 minutes all glued to our phones!

There isn't actually anything close to a standard user account for gov.uk

Again one of the original goals was that services shouldn't require a persistent account. Unfortunately that makes sense in 80% of cases but misses some important ones (Universal Credit, Child tax benefit, Tax).

For whatever reason the people looking at accounts also got fixated on identity (you are Sam Smith) rather than authentication (you have X credentials and have accessed the service before) combined with the UKs aversion to an identity system and central databases (we actually have several) it resulted in Gov.UK Verify, which, last I checked works about 30% of the time.

Ultimately the big departments (HMRC) just built their own thing and created user portals which GDS didn't like... So everyone argued and no one fixed the actual problem.
