The price gouging services make sense if they avoid you having to hire additional employees. That's the benefit of any managed service provider: they can run it more efficiently than you can (once you add all the people, supervisors of those people, people to cover when those people are on vacation, etc).

It's a way to shift people costs to IT operational expenses. If you don't do that, it's more expensive. If you do, it can easily be less expensive. I'm pretty sure we're at the point where it's less expensive because developers are waiting minutes rather than weeks [or more] for TechOps actions to happen (we were on-prem previously [and I ran TechOps]). That saves time and changes the way you think about TechOps changes. If they're lengthy, you make choices that avoid changes in TechOps. If they're fast, you make choices that make the most sense for the product and customer.
What Happened to Theradioboard.com?
It's a forum for radio builders and enthusiasts, HAMs etc. which worked up to a few days ago, then suddenly started pointing to an empty page. There's a moderately active but very knowledgeable community there, the forum archives are a goldmine of experience, ideas and suggestions for electronics builders, and it would be a real loss if it disappeared.

Hah wow, this makes me doubt the person really understands bitcoin. The puzzle is a mathematical thing, AFAIK nobody’s poring over mysterious message drops from Satoshi like people do for Q. The article doesn’t mention Ethereum or heck even ESG concerns. I’d buy the argument that it’s a cult much like Communism is a cult, an idea taken to the extreme that’d cause lot of pain but the way it is written is sloppy.

>Though its lack of a single leading figure and its amorphous online footprint marks it out from traditional cults, some say the cryptocurrency movement bears a striking resemblance to another progeny of the digital age: the QAnon super-conspiracy.

> “Both have doctrine passed down by a mysterious unknown founder, puzzle-solving, and internet meme culture and lots of predictions about politics/economics that are completely unfalsifiable,” says Diehl. “They’re both rooted in this ideology that claims to oppose a common enemy: corruption and untrustworthy intermediaries, and both see the internet as the way to finally eradicate those problems in some great apocalyptic event.”
> They’re not very different from your phone company or other utility.

Oh, but they are! My phone company makes no attempt to influence the content of my voice or text conversations, nor how I use my data plan. Facebook/Twitter do their very best to tailor what I see to keep me scrolling and “engaged.” If this is the new public square, the crack dealers are already selling, and in fact are the ones who built the square.

I think I like the idea of social media as common carrier. It would require vast changes in how their apps are designed though.

> Political viewpoints should constitute a protected class that should be protected under anti-discrimination laws.

This seems like a bad idea, unless you want to elevate the status of political affiliation to that of religion, and expect violations of that protection to be enforced just as unevenly.
I wish I could do that on macOS so I stop getting hit with pop ups in Safari asking me for my location. Homedepot.com is particularly annoying about this.
There it is - the hidden cost of AWS. For bare-metal the risk of hardware failure is so low that it's faster to just handle the interruption when it happens (e.g. just restart the process) than to implement interruption tolerance. The hardware fails only once in many years. The chances of that happening during the 24 hours we train a model are almost zero. On a spot instances, the risk of the same are almost 100%, requiring investment up-front.

For the price of a spot instance we can get an always-on bare-metal server without having to worry for how long it will remain available.
I could be wrong, but wouldn't this system "front-load" rather than "back-load" the rate limiting? That is to say: if you rate limit requests globally, it affects all users if one user attempts to spam. On the other hand, this system slows each individual user down without affecting others directly.

I suspect this is to try to push large business/corporate clients to drop Linux.

Windows adds support for running Linux apps, then spreads some FUD about Linux, and convinces companies they need to ban dual-booting and only allow Windows internally.

It certainly does _sound_ like MS.

Vantage integrates at an AWS account level through a mechanism called a Cross account IAM role which allows us to ingest and process the raw data that AWS uses for its own billing systems (Cost and Usage Reports, Service APIs and Cost Explorer)

We haven't seen a single case where we don't end up matching the actual AWS bill. In fact, with a release currently in BETA and rolling out in a week or two, we'll be providing richer data faster than AWS Cost Explorer provides.

You can see a demo of that here (designs still need to be implemented) https://www.loom.com/share/dcb72a921f134e59b19a0dd3d3ab0e2f
Almost everything I use runs faster on Linux so even if it isn't Linux exclusive I'd very much prefer to run it on Linux.

VS Code brilliantly lets me develop on WSL2, IntelliJ is getting there but with these new developments it might become easier to run everything on Linux.

That said, IT at work not only tolerates Linux but actively support it so I might be back on Linux again very soon.

My point exactly! I've been making that case for a while and I think I'm gaining some traction.

Ask HN: How has Postgres changed since Uber's migration to MySQL in 2016?
I only recently came across the article about Uber's migration from Postgres 9.2 to MySQL and the various issues that were raised about Postgres. I'm curious what changes have been made to Postgres since then to deal with the issues around write amplification and inefficient replication. I'm planning to read the release notes for the major versions that have been released since that article (11, 12, and 13), but I'd appreciate if anyone who is more familiar with these details can provide some insight into what's improved and what's stayed the same

this is such a weird article - could the same article be written to say that because VCRs are no longer common household items, decades worth of media recordings are lost to history?

From the article:

> That means what was once an interactive explainer of how the planes hit the World Trade Center or a visually-rich story on where some survivors of the attacks are now, at best, a non-functioning still image, or at worst, a gray box informing readers that "Adobe Flash player is no longer supported."

Does CNN really think the best, most interactive way to learn about 9/11 history, for the average person, is to load up the internet archive, and play with some crappy SWF?

Of course, I guess the original SWF experience is an interesting historical document, and I wouldn't be surprised if museums one day have an interactive exhibit where you can use a 2001-era Gateway PC to navigate those "lost" sites, just like they were back then.

But even then, the news coverage is not "lost" to history. If I found a copy of the original Hindenburg newsreel film, I wouldn't call it "lost" just because I don't have the equipment to play it.
Chrome has the ability to save sites as a desktop shortcut. It even prompts you to do so on some web apps, like Stadia, so you can use it like a more "normal" desktop app.

Safari on iOS can do this, too. You can pin a website to your home screen, which is something that I have done for PWAs.

It could have easily gone another way where this was the "normal" behavior of the mobile ecosystem.

I use a NexDock from time to time for this; some of my Galaxy S20's stock software scales pretty well to a full-size display as they expect you to use one.

I don't think I'd make my phone my primary machine despite this until Linux phones are daily-driver ready for me though. The mobile OS is still too limiting.

(That and while the NexDock is serviceable, its touchpad is awful. Good enough to use occasionally, but I wouldn't want to be stuck with it as my main machine.)

It's not "great news," it's a drop in the bucket. Only the end of FF extraction and large-scale bio oceanic carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) (phytoplankton and/or kelp, GMO possibly) can bring about a net negative carbon budget to get back to preindustrial levels soon enough before human civilization collapses.

Another example is Iceland's direct air capture plant. It is immensely expensive, power-hungry, and unable to scale. Such approaches are doomed to fail because they are big engineering solutions that don't utilize life to do more of the work for us. If we don't solve the problem at scale, soon enough, in a cost-effective manner, then we die.
Have you stopped eating meat? Or are you saying "my contribution is just a drop in the bucket, so I may as well continue eating meat?"

Of course government action is better than individual action. But why not both? Signal your discontent by removing yourself from the meat market.
Sweeteners are about 15% of calories for Americans which sort of undercuts your idea that it’s all about corn syrup. Your example of a single hypothetical meal is irrelevant - the data is clear that Americans are practically vegetarian, in aggregate.

70% plants is absolutely “practically vegetarian” compared to, say, a diet consistent with the pre-agricultural evolutionary environment of most Americans. Personally, in excess of 90% of my caloric intake comes from animals (and I am visibly and medically healthier than 95% of Americans, even health-focused herbivores, as are people I know who eat similarly).

As a small anecdote, it took me maybe half a decade of casual programming to realize that “yield” is an actual English word, with an actual meaning, used in real conversations, and not just a weird “programming language keyword”.

Let me put it to you this way. Everyone knows that salicylic acid (originally derived from willow bark) is a precursor to aspirin that is effective as a pain killer, fever reducer, and anti-inflammatory.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salicylic_acid
and
https://www.ehs.com/2015/07/salicylic-acid-safety-tips-hazar...

But salicylic acid is also used in skin care products like wart remover.

Here's a wart remover product for dogs and horses, which contains salicylic acid as an active ingredient:
https://www.chewy.com/creative-science-wartsoff-wart-dog/dp/...

If, the next time you have a fever, you reach for the dog/horse wart remover... I'm gonna call that "dog wart remover" regardless of the fact that it contains an ingredient that is used to treat fevers in _humans_

Of all the things that makes me prefer a proper computer, the shenanigans that devs do with various SDKs that are privacy invading pieces of shit have put me off of trusting any apps.

This seems mostly anecdotal, but I've been using Bluetooth headsets and headphones on Linux since around 2008, and most have worked out of the box with no issues.

I do remember at the time, windows didn't really work with those Bluetooth headphones, and I actually started bringing my own Linux laptop to work just so I could use my headphones.

When it comes to Zoom, I'd say the problem is having to use that crap and not the fact that they barely support Linux. MS Teams also won't work on Linux, but it's hard to claim it's an issue on Linux's side. I'd suggest looking at something like Jitsi, which is also encrypted and takes security into consideration.

Ubuntu is a pretty bad example for anything though: they're usually trying to reinvent the wheel and it's very common for things not to work there and work anywhere else. I personally have mixed feeling because they both make Lonux more popular and build good tools, but also give Linux a bad rep at the same time. Maybe give Fedora a shot?

Finally, per-display scaling works fine on Wayland, but won't work on Xorg. I believe Ubuntu still uses the latter.

Some people bristle at analogies for the highly technical things they do. I think they misunderstand the purpose, or think it mocks the work they've put into understanding the subject.

> On the datacenter/server side AMD Epyc supports 128 CPU PCIe lanes [1]. Note this is per socket so with multi-socket systems these numbers increase accordingly.

However, AMD Epyc uses half of the 128 lanes on each socket to talk to the other socket, so on two-socket systems each socket has only 64 PCIe lanes available, for a total of 128 lanes, the same as with a single socket. On the other hand, newer AMD Epyc processors can (depending on the motherboard) use only 48 lanes to talk to the other socket, freeing another 16 lanes per socket (for a total of 160 PCIe lanes) at the cost of slower inter-socket communication; and they also have an extra single PCIe lane per socket to be used to connect to a BMC. The article at https://www.servethehome.com/why-amd-epyc-rome-2p-will-have-... has a great explanation of all that.
Tabs on top correlates to Chrome coming out and dominating the market then Firefox playing catch up. That's why usage is down. Chrome. It was actually a better browser for a long time and Firefox made the effort of aping the good ideas the Chrome team had.

It's finally pretty close and surpasses Chrome on many fronts but turning the tides is pretty hard.

I agree that listening to users is important but some users hold you back in a competitive market. Firefox takes cpu in the background because websites have JavaScript code and so do plugins. Chrome does the same thing.

It's frustrating to see arguments devolve into this kind of thing. It's almost surely the case we are discussing developed nations like the US (one of the largest consumers of meat), not some remote village in a developing nation. Sure there might be remote places with no access to the world market. Sure there might be some people whose health doesn't allow removal of meat. But on the grand-scale of the US and other developed economies, we can reduce meat consumption by 90% without any negative effects (in fact, we'll improve average health by a lot).
