I do... Yes. I follow best practices like parameterized queries, string width validation, password hashing via memory intensive hash functions etc. These are all basic beat practices. When a company admits to not doing one, it makes me worry about the others.

This is the result of build fast and break things mentality which is toxic
I find pooling is effective for applying back-pressure on clients.
If it can't handle the connections it is likely under-provisioned.

> Its not really "dangerous" only because that wording implies another state of possible affairs that could be safer.

I generally use this phrase in the context of companies being willing to do anything to get back to being wildly profitable. And in that case, yes, there is quite a bit of danger towards basically everyone else.
It is supported, it's just not finished yet. Dev builds are available, or you can just keep running 9.2, which still works fine.
$10 per month (i.e., $0.01389 per hour) Skylake cores: https://www.vultr.com/products/cloud-compute/

If you're not holding it for a full month, it's $0.015 per hour.

Here are the $1000 per month ($1.50 per hour) cloud GPUs I use, the cheapest that Linode provides: https://www.linode.com/pricing/

I would like to see a comparison of Linode vs Google Cloud, taking into account network bandwidth costs, etc. Maybe the Google Cloud T4's total cost of ownership is lower? I doubt it: for example, the Linode plan includes 16 terabytes of fast network traffic at no additional cost, and Google Compute charges $0.085 per gigabyte.

And the T4 is still 23x more expensive than an AVX-512 core, hourly.
Its probably because they're not actually doing USB-C alternate DP mode but probably using a DisplayLink chipset. Its a system of doing graphics over USB and IIRC supports HDMI by default.

That message can be reinforced in the context of COVID, given obesity is the leading preventable risk factor for COVID.

I've never liked Kodi's performance and stability, don't like the UI (skins don't help, it works the same regardless and most of the unofficial skins are half-broken anyway) and I hate how it's configured—those last two are intertwined, because I don't like how config is scattered all over and mixed in with using the thing, on a TV interface (another matter on a web or desktop interface—that would be fine). Haven't gotten used to or comfortable with it in years and years of using it.

Finally switched to Jellyfin with its accompanying Roku app (and the web interface, in a pinch). Much happier with that. Jellyfin in docker on my fileserver, map the drives there, start it up with auto-restart (which will also start it on boot) and forget about it. Configure and watch some on the web, but mostly just watch from the couch on a Roku. Much better UI, despite being far from perfect. Snappier and less fragile, even in its web interface. Media source management's less crazy-making.

I don't really use live TV, streaming (the plugins I usually wanted to use on Kodi were usually broken or too janky to use, anyway), or radio, on Kodi, though. Or the games features—I use Lakka instead, which I like much better UI-wise. I don't think Jellyfin can replace those features, if you use them.
I don't need a better shell, I need a better terminal. On Mac we have Terminal.app which is nice and fast but the feature set is limited and notably doesn't support full color. On the other hand we have iTerm 2 which has too many features (creeping featurism) and is completely ass slow and most annoyingly has high latency. It also leaks memory like it's going out of fashion. Running neovim on fish on iTerm 2 is just an utter pain.
COVID vaccines don't stop transmission, so don't protect other people.
"Hard requirement" is a vague. At this moment in time no commercially available non-UEFI hardware exists to run GPUs supporting resizable bar.
I start with reading a theoretical textbook then move towards implementation (with the help of videos) if possible. Then come back to the textbook and implementation so on. Talking to someone who has an expertise in that subject helps too.
Slowly the concept is formed in the brain and with more practice the concept solidify. At the end of the day the more you do and read is more you learn . Theory and practical are both important to me.
COVID vaccines don't stop transmission, so this is not about protecting other people.
I looked at the kweld, came very close to buying one, but ended up getting the Sequre version instead. About the same price, well reviewed, and looks to ship ready to go rather than you having to source pieces. It arrived earlier in the week, I haven't had time to open the box yet. kweld looks solid though. I thought about trying the DIY car battery and starter solenoid hacks, but wanted something a little more accurate.I have around $700 worth of battery packs to repair/rebuild (lawn mower and discontinued electric bike), so I hope to get my money's worth out of it.
I don't think Pi3 had HEVC decoding, which makes it kinda suck vs. a Pi4, as a video-playing device. May as well use a 2, at that point. They'll both struggle with anything over SD-resolution in h.265.
Not really related to the type system and bridging, but can the compiled code run in real-time without interference by the garbage collector? Can you define an entire thread running statically typed code which never gets interrupted by the garbage collector? C# definitely can't do the latter.

Or am I confusing "statically typed" and "no GC"? Sadly a lot of even statically-typed languages lack support for transparently bridging between application and no-GC real-time code, using the same data types on both sides. I'd be fine writing application code in a no-GC language, but it seems most GUI libraries are sadly for GC languages.
One of my favorite things to do is explore a foreign city with a recent Lonely Plant book to guide me. I think there’s something fantastic about that experience that can’t be replicated by an app or website.

Thanks for asking. In fact that is one of my pet peeves with Zoom, that it has its own audio selection independent of the host OS. This is a problem on Windows as well - and I assume on macOS too.

I have a friend who uses Zoom a lot on her Windows laptop, and this "feature" of Zoom has messed her meetings up so many times!
I'm using tree sitter based code folding right now on my script. Everything goes haywire after opening and closing folds after a few minutes, partials folds with missing elements start appearing everywhere.

This whole shitstorm was based on false interpretations of Texas law that were incredibly easy to debunk. When I saw these fake stories pop up (and they did pop up on HN) I wasn't fooled for a second. Yet, people were saying things like "In Texas you can get paid 10 grand for every woman you rape!!" and they even got GoDaddy to take down a law-abiding pro-life website that was involved.
Why would Apple make and provide something like that? They won't get anything for providing such an API to make the billing experience nicer for their competitors.

We have never used this justification to institute invasive laws to prohibit habits that lead to obesity, or to prohibit drug-use or alcohol consumption for that matter. And such laws would always come from the social conservative right, if they were ever instituted, not the people advocating vaccine mandates.

Now socialization of medical expenses is being used to rationalize institutionalized discrimination against the unvaccinated, because it aligns with a particular political tribe's agenda. A tribe that also advocates the socialization of medical expenses.
Maybe they don't want tire-kickers, but the whole website feels like "If you have to ask, you don't belong here, move along!".

These outside companies had minimal oversight from Google, by design.

Could this be so that the google corporate toadies could bid out the lowest possible price, yet remain isolated from the predictably unethical, shoddy, or even illegal practices of the cut-throat priced contracting companies?

It just seems strange that you’re lauding google HR, when your description suggests google was complicit, if not directly responsible, for the whole setup.

I also have a TS3 and my experience has been similar. Quite solid. At one point I was having issues with a monitor being recognized and thought it was the TS3, but with some tinkering it turned out to be a quirk of the monitor (sometimes it just needs a full power cycle, even when no dock is being used).

GFS takes a simple average of the ensembles for their avg model, I believe. The biggest problem is that you can't use statistics like you normally would in meteorology. Predictions are actually very good for knowing WHAT happens to a weather system, but not WHERE it happens.

I work in the sailing space, so this is what happens there:

A racing offshore sailor would consider a variety of models and ensembles. Then they would consider the various possibilities for the weather systems and fronts (e.g. front crosses your path +/-5% East/West within a +/-3h gap). A sailor would then avoid any possible dangerous situations, and pick a path that on the most number of models gives them an optimal wind.

It is both an art and a science. If you compare the results of sailors who compete in offshore competitions (such as the Vendee globe), where the boats are all constructed in very similar ways, you'll see that the best sailors consistently get good results, and that is based on good meteorology and a good gain to risk ratio for route choice.

It's always driven me nuts how many people misquote him and consistently ignore all these redirections of praise.

... as if it's better if they aren't involved? We are commenting on a story about that... seems like if they knew better, they would actually get involved to makes sure that this don't get out. The bare minimum is to pay the ones that complains, that way you at least minimize the risk of this getting out.
> This means that competition is working, because you would choose apple's IAP, over the third party, even if it was more expensive.

Aren't you heavily assuming these developers would even bother integrating apple's IAP? This ruling will allow the developers to completely go around apple and never use apple's IAP at all.

Hmm… https://webmproject.github.io/libwebp-demo/webp_wasm/index.h... ships 141KB/54KB (bytes/transferred) of WASM and 116KB/34KB of JavaScript, including lots of bogus SDL stuff. https://kenchris.github.io/wasm-webp/ is 120KB/44KB of WASM and 30KB/9KB of JavaScript, much more reasonable. (Incidentally, I never like the JavaScript such tools produce; it’s always hideously unoptimised. Experience suggests to me that I could reduce that 30KB to under 10KB with a little effort, and possibly to under 5KB; and if I could touch the WASM as well, still further.)

Definitely smaller than I thought I recalled, and WASM bytes are no dearer than image bytes, though JS bytes are much more expensive, so it’s closer to just the more expensive decoding of the actual images that’ll bite you. Plus the not-integrated loading experience, of course.
I vaguely remember standing on a rubber mat being standard practice for this sort of tool.

Many of those articles aren't full of fluff because the authors don't know how to write concisely. They're full of fluff for other reasons, such as:

- The piece is written to make a good story, not to convey facts. I tend not to like these myself. But asking them to consist of bullet points would be like saying that Romeo and Juliet should consist of a bullet list of the plot points: it misses the point.

- It's SEO spam, or a submarine ad, or a blog post about something the author makes money on, or a post by Wolfram obstensively talking about one thing but actually mostly talking about how great Wolfram is, and the objective of the writer is best achieved if you spend a while reading it.

- It's a recipe. I don't know exactly what's going on, but judging by the effects there are some really weird incentives around online recipes.

For writing that actually aims to impart knowledge, agreed: bullet lists are great (even for non-dyslexic readers) and we should use more of them.
I see nothing that limits those "purchasing mechanisms" to be outside the app.
I'm unqualified to opine on the jurisdictional issue, but I had assumed if the person harmed was in the state and the business operated in the state and had substantial presence in the state, there would be a case to sue in the state. I will be happy to read any references you can provide to help illuminate me on this.

This note seems to indicate suing out of state corporations in state courts is often accepted, and the exceptions seem to be cases where there's no real connection for the corporation to the state: https://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution-conan/amendment-14/...

I also saw https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BNSF_Railway_Co._v._Tyrrell where the company does have some presence in the state, but it was not its state of incorporation or principle place of business, and the plantiffs were not resident in the state and the events in the case didn't take place in that state either.

On enforcing the judgement, I would assume under a Writ of Execution local sheriffs could seize Facebook property at their offices in Austin or Dallas, or their data centers in Fort Worth. Those buildings (if owned and not leased) and/or their contents are certainly subject to judgements in the state of Texas.
People default to assuming bad faith if they're from a different tribe. Just look at the social media loops.

The fact aside as others have pointed out that this basically a reversal of what free speech means, the other thing is, since when is an institution, merely because it has public character, required to tolerate all political viewpoints?

Clearly churches or religious institutions in many places serve the function of a public square, yet I can't walk into one and demand to debate anyone on the merits of atheism.

It's a very weird, sort of "in your face"-ism. Freedom of assembly means that said assembly can deny people entry or be exclusionary. That's just how a pluralistic society works. Also it's a very non-conservative idea, a sort of political gender quota
