I think the missing piece is proxying from an existing image server source.

Say I have hundreds of gigabytes of images "somewhere". How can I start using that with Cloudflare?

I think this is great for new stuff, or small projects, but for the larger and older projects, it's a non-starter.

Now you are moving the discussion into Which country have actual free people though. Sure a dictatorship is worse than a "free" country where decades of propaganda has set the tone so people think they are free while they do what the government wants them to but are they really that much better off? That people chant USA! USA! USA! while doing something doesn't mean they are free. They are more free but way more indoctrinated. I'm not sure that is better than how it is in Russia. It does feel better, sure, but it doesn't give any less media bias at all. If anything US media is more biased than Russian or at least as bad - all done without obvious threats. That's worse in my opinion, way worse.
They have though. Kremlin has made plenty of effort in trying to delete individual videos and the whole channels.

So far Google/Youtube have not complied. Let's see what happens after today's developments...

I'm opposed to banning `hate speech` solely because it is vague and likely ineffective against stopping hate. The vague-ness is open for abuse, depending on the political winds. I would say this is definitely is a step towards authoritarianism.

As for political advertising and lobbying, those seem like bandages for the larger issue of people blatantly ignoring political corruption and paying attention to political advertising. Has banning / limiting those had any great effect?

Ok, I guess people use google (or search engines in general) differently ... I rarely if ever use a search enginge to calculate stuff or do unit conversions.

> used wars and similar methods to achieve the opposite

Totally agree - but the bust comes after the war... based on the size of spending, one could make parallels between war and covid policy. A trick old as time to stir up a war to distract from political problems. Borrow and spend is justified (unless you are a traitor and vote to kill our troops). But the flip side of that things are ugly - but it is always the next guys problem.

With so much money readily available for investment, speculation was inevitable, particularly in the Tokyo Stock Exchange and the real estate market. The Nikkei stock index hit its all-time high on December 29, 1989, when it reached an intra-day high of 38,957.44 before closing at 38,915.87. (sounds familiar perhaps?)

The 1990s in Japan was the beginning of economic turmoil and recession for that particular nation; resulting in their Lost Decade.

> f you install a custom ROM (e.g. LineageOS), you can make almost any phone reasonably secure

Do the official LineageOS releases have Verified Boot (allow you to lock the bootloader)? Everything I've tried uses userdebug keys, which is pretty bad security-wise, and requires an unlocked bootloader.

I ask because Verified Boot ensures the root of trust is there in the binaries. If they're wrong by one bit, the OS won't boot.

Realistically, even if your OS has additionally security features compared to AOSP, it'd still be like building a house out of obsidian, then putting a wooden barn door on it.
There are definitely principles at stake. We should not work with or support oppressive activities themselves. Western countries selling gear to be used in the great firewall is a disgrace. Selling software tools to be used in censorship is also despicable. We should check supply chains to exclude forced labour to the best of our ability.
I also was using component tempalte files although the issue was apparent when returning to any component with any degree of complexity. Regular CSS class names tend to give you a bit of an insight into the role of each div whereas atomic css requires you to parse each line to understand it's role which gets a bit tiring after a while. I tried extracting the strings of atomic class names to variables as a sort of hybrid approach but in the end it felt more or less like emulating 'normal' CSS. I'm sure different projects would fair better though with an atomic approach though.
C and C++?
it routinely eats up close to 4 GB of RAM, which in my case is an entire VPSes worth and costs me about 60 Euros a year

You are absolutely correct that running other peoples Ruby code is expensive. I would argue similarly for Java because of the high RAM requirements.

However, if you are a company developing your own software, if you use a more productive technology and it spares just 1 programmer then you have paid for a few hundred VMs and running costs become insignificant compared to labour costs.

This is an argument in favour for both Rails and the Java monsters.
Endocrinology recognizes whole other modes of action, where is it not just the presence or absence of this or that molecule or complex of molecules, but the rate of increase of concentration. Or, the rate relative to another rate, so which is rising faster is what matters. Maybe the effect of who wins depends on the immediate concentration of some other molecule.

There is no upper limit to the complexity that biological systems are willing to use. They only have to work just well enough not to interfere with reproduction. Also: That endocrinology is even meaningfully possible to do is astonishing.

I don't think that we may classify big money as liability. Usually you cannot quickly get rid of your liability for free.
Corruption is indeed still a problem in China.

But to call them inefficient? I think you're wrong. They are extremely efficient when the government has an idea, it's executed quickly with minimal regulation and red tape getting in the way.

They also don't make as many mistakes as they use to as a developing nation. Credit where it's due, they recently got a space probe orbiting Mars and that's no easy feat [1]

You sound like you don't know much about thorium reactors and i suggest some basic reading like [2]. They are much safer than conventional reactors. Your concerns about waste leaking is uninformed as the reactors themselves require much less design safety considerations.

Before anyone accuses me of being pro-china government, their human rights and transparency are extremely sketchy and i can see why it's hard to trust them.

One problem with the article is they again claim trees take away carbon from atmosphere.

This is only true if you look at short term. In long term trees do nothing to CO2 because they only participate in a CYCLE.

For carbon to be permanently removed the tree would have to be somehow buried forever. For these sequoias the future is either they burn or they fall down and rot. In both cases the carbon is released.

Didn't Librem try to work around this? I think they sealed it before transport, and used nail polish to ensure the device had not been tampered with in transit.

Short or long term? Because shitting on democracy for money is potentially very damaging for brands in the long term, the market and especially future comptetitors will remember it.
> you can never generate more energy than the sun inputs into Earth's atmosphere

This is 100% a feature and not a bug.

> It's not a sustainable practice

The very opposite. If we want to slow down climate change we need exactly zero-sum energy sources that do not release extra heat into the atmosphere.

> if we assume that as a society advances technologically, it requires ever more energy per citizen

Nothing in your claims indicates that is not possible to produce more energy using renewables.

> if we assume that as a society advances technologically, it requires ever more energy per citizen (and no, the various green initiatives have not disproven that assumption

I don't like the argument I am about to make when used to attack minimum wage, but I think it applies here.

When you accepted the job, you knew the terms. Those included not getting equity, and those included carrying some risk with known reward.

I don't see how the owners selling retroactively makes the risk-reward balance different. Unless you consider it a risk/downside that someone else gets a windfall and you don't get to share. That seems silly to me tho. How rich someone else is does not affect how much money I need to live, with a few exceptions (inflation, friends, power dynamics in pre-existing relationships).
Indeed, it's the exact same issue, and the behavior of these companies is as cynical and wrong in Russia, China, and any and all other places where they act this way.

"to avoid damage to the company’s reputation"

To me, anything a company does to avoid damage to its reputation when it's too late and has already become a matter of more profits or less profits, does indeed damage that company reputation anyway.

Don't get me wrong, that would still be a (very) good thing, but I wouldn't expect any significant boost in Apple image, unless they pair it with a well crafted pro-environment PR campaign with the usual green hills, flowers, butterflies, happy families and possibly pink unicorns.
Could you give more information? Why OnePlus in particular?
> I think they were caught off guard by the enormous negative public reaction to Apple switching from 30-pin to Lightning.

I dont record any negative reaction. Everyone was looking at what seemingly like a small problem, being able to plug in any other way around, and Apple finally did it.

>USB 3.1 and the associated USB-C wasn't even on Apple's radar when they started designing Lightning.

Apple donated part of the work to make USB-C. They are well aware of USB-C

>Disagree that it's about the relative pennies they make on cables.

>The money they make on Lightning cables simply does not matter.

Lightning Cable, or MFi is a multi hundred million dollar business a year. Most dont seems to realise the gigantic scale of MFi business.
It would be great if they also allowed reverse proxying images directly. I.e. if I could embed an image like this:

<img src="/images/logo.png?size=200,200">

For the customers that enabled Cloudflare proxying, they could automatiacally serve a 200x200px variant of the image hosted on my server at /images/logo.png.

This would allow to use the feature without needing to upload the images explicitely.

For those not using the Cloudflare proxying, the images could be embedded using something like this:

<img src="https://imageproxy.cloudflare.com/mysite.com/images/logo.png...">
Someone did eventually bring out a floppy-drive peripheral for the QL, but it was basically too late to save the platform. Also, iirc, you needed to be drop-dead rich to afford one.

I’m slightly confused as to what the relation is between OpenJDK and Oracle JDK. Are they based on the same codebase?
I was under the (apparently mistaken) impression that OpenJDK and the ”official” (Oracle) JDK were totally different implementations, but seeing how Oracle’s JDK just hit 17, and apparently OpenJDK did at the same time I guess they are derived from the same source.

This is already supported.

You create a worker that understands your URL scheme, and requests images via Cloudflare with the desired size/parameters: https://developers.cloudflare.com/image-resizing/resizing-wi...

Or, you can just use Cloudflare's built-in URL scheme for resizing arbitrary URLs: https://developers.cloudflare.com/image-resizing/url-format
Interesting. The Podcasts app was a disaster when it was released. I honestly can’t imagine how it could have gotten worse.

I’ve been using Podcruncher since 2010. Manual downloads, no hiding episodes, custom playlists. All in a straightforward interface. It is amazing that Apple with its resources can’t deliver anything comparable.

There may eventually be a slowdown of small business activity as ever increasing Panopticon-type surveillance proves a drag on innovation and profitability.
Battery fires usually happen after collisions too. Fires while charging are rare but they grab headlines because they're novel.

I think trying to use inspections to solve that is a case of barking up a really stupid tree. In the case of EV charging fires there's not really much a mechanic can inspect that some electronics cobbled onto the pack couldn't. In the case of battery pack damage an annual inspection isn't going to do much good since most of those cases will cause problems before that or not at all.
If I remember correctly they're also paying into ITER, which afaik is the most promising thing in the works right now (not counting DEMO that's barely started planning), so that'll take a while still.
Author here. Yes, good point. It's true that not everything should be forced through a rational framework. But some decisions certainly should. Much of the vitriol that society is struggling with today comes from emotions.
0. Well, it is being done when possible. But it's not a 100% way of reaching people.
1. State terrorism. People are genuinely afraid to give their email addresses, and for a good reason.
2. Email delivery. Email doesn't work as good as you think. In addition to the typical technical email delivery problems, there are also specific to Russia. Many people are using local Russian email services. But those have shown to be dependent on Kremlin. For example Smart Voting lists had "strange" delivery problems for recipient in the mail.ru service (one of the most popular in Russia).
Am I the only one who genuinely likes newsletters?

I don't use facebook or instagram or anything anymore, and just solely rely on subscribing to the newsletters of the stuff I like: bands, exhibition spaces, museums, even fashion brands.

Giving out my email tells the almost nothing about myself, except the only valuable thing: I am interested in their services.
Most newsletter providers let me opt out with two clicks and I never get any more mails from them.

It really baffles me why there are not more people who enjoy emails, but would rather have another company decide which content they get to see.
Yep I agree. The app looks great (good job!) but definitely change the name (in my opinion).
The actual reason is to make you practice your password so you don't forget.

When you study war don't forget the genocides, rapes, undiscriminate killings and destruction of property. Also pollution and the destruction of the environment. It's funny how those things are almost always left up and when they do appear is because "the other" did it.
They are built from the same code base. Any differences are just down to the license, packaging, etc.

> This is true, but not the whole story. The Sinclair calculator undercut its only competitor at the time by 75%(!), bringing a scientific calculator to a lot of people who otherwise would never have had one.

Same with his computers. At least before the QL. They were affordable for people not on IT salaries.

And for Eastern Europe/Russia, for some values of "affordable".
Looks ok, but generic enough to use it as a boilerplate for more add ons.
They had more impact on human lives.

Hunter-gatherer groups tend to be small and disparate. They don’t really have much impact on each other.

But they deal with animals, on a daily.

It’s not just primitive societies, either. Modern tribal groups tend to concentrate on animals and crops.

When your very survival depends on knowing as much as possible about prey and draft animals, weather, etc., these topics occupy your attention.

When they depicted other humans, it was often about conflict.

We may think of these as “quaint” beliefs, but these folks took this stuff seriously. Their survival depended on it.

Love it. Such a great approach.
Yes, I remember that discussion, it was very interesting, but it was quickly became obvious that the whole thing is very nuanced, and what may seem too much of a coincidence for an outsider (comparing the codebase of stolen or licensed source code of Windows with React OS), it could have a very rational explanation.

They took the huge effort of complete rewrite and clean room implementation just for that! So not only it would make no sense for them to cheat, it would mean actually harming the project and causing its demise. Nobody in their right mind would do so.
