Oh I see. You allow this in-app.

Your signup flow, though, has a start time + end time and doesn't make it clear you can add these windows in. It made me pause during sign-up and I wonder if it would cause other folks to drop off. Maybe could be solved with copy somewhere even?

Similarly, as far as I can tell the signup flow does not let me add half hour increments (e.g 8:30am - 6:30pm). I also can't figure out how to add that even in-app.
Been wanting to get into hosting my own email. This is genius. Thanks for the tip.
How do you pick emails consistently?

If you sign up for league of legends, which email do you use? Riot? RiotGames? Lol? LeagueOfLegends?

Presumably you can always scan backwards to find your email address in your inbox, but maybe not. I guess maybe a password manager can help you remember, if you're diligent about always using it (and never end up locked out of your vault).

I recently started signing up for things with the + trick for gmail, but now I'm worried about having a bunch of email addresses I have no way of keeping track of.

Yeah, the GA is not the best option for self-driving tasks, agree.

The reason why I chose GA is because I wanted to play around with this algorithm at the first place. And only after that I’ve tried to come up with some artificial problem I could try to solve with it :)

I like The Partially Examined Life Podcast. I used to listen to it a few years ago, they go through a bunch of different philosophers and hit high level points about them as they roll through the history of philosophy more or less. Serves as a good introduction and from there you can dive into more specific sources.

Yes, that was more or less the argument I was trying to do by the end of my comment: diffing is meant to be space agnostic (the -B option of diff(3)), but since code is committed with formatting, formatting will interfere.
It was a coordinated attack from many different locations and IPs.

The IP blocking was in place on application level and later into Cloudflare blacklist. Still they would flood in with different IPs and browsers.

On a tech level, sure. But not something the majority of users have even noticed. (Less noise, maybe.)

I've had a hard time explaining to someone the meaning of this (and why they should care).

So, no, there is no comparison to the level of innovation and the general excitement around the computer tech they saw back in the 80s.
Fair enough. Thank you for chiming in.
Cost/GB is three times that of Backblaze, bandwith is generally too cheap to meter (outside aws, gcp, azure who use egress costs for lock-in).

The offer is no doubt competitively prized, but it's no doubt much more lucrative than people using Cloudflare as a CDN for their s3/b2/azure/whatever.
Because it sends a lot of traffic in such a small time frame. Also, it has obvious nefarious purposes and the ISP may face legal consecuences in case someone lawyers up.

I'm disappointed the list ends there.
Looking at some of these, it's kind of sad how it went from a deeply technical magazine (the earliest publication had an ad to join ACM, and it has several circuit diagrams) to a pop-tech supermarket mag (with tons of ads, lots of high-level hit pieces (how to get ready for y2k, for example), and A BAJILLIONTY ADS. I'm glad that they kept some semblance of technical content towards the end.
Actually, you dont need to replace the pipes. They can actually line them in place. Of course then people might have concerns about the chemical makeup of the liners (basically plastic), but it's hard to say what other alternatives are out there.
Erm, it can edit and save code live in a debbing session?

Also, how can I edit code? It is non editable for me.
If it's true, impale them. Punish corruption mercilessly.
Am I reading this right that this is pretty much aiming to be a full competitor to S3? Or is this a more limited special purpose tool? I didn't really follow what Cloudflare is doing, so I only know them as a CDN. Are private buckets possible with this?

We all knew that the big players are really maximising their profits on the egress charges, so I can see that this left some potential for someone to step in. No egress charges at all still sound a bit too good to be true, but it would be nice as that's just one parameter less to think about.

Another interesting aspect are CloudFlare Workers. As far as I can tell they're not a full replacement for something like AWS Lambda if e.g. I need to do a bit heavier stuff on the data in R2. Being able to do heavier processing close to the actual data would be really interesting as well.
The article didnt say water prices are increasing. They get most of their water from recycling what they use. Regardless filling a pot of water for pasta would go from a fraction of a penny to a fraction of a penny even if intel increased their water use ten fold

yes, the government should generally build the software they need to support essential functions for the populace, which certainly can include open-source/collaboratively-developed software, even the paid kind. we shouldn't allow government to decide to pay for software by gutting individual privacy and liberty. that goes counter to the spirit of our inalienable rights.

also, "taxes will go up" arguments are at best naive. taxes (amounts/rates) have little correlation with supporting the essential needs of government. they're primarily employed to generate leverage, (unfair) economic gain, and power. public sector pay is uncompetitive because politicians and bureaucrats don't find competitive pay to serve those purposes.

but yes, paper is perfectly fine technology for most educational purposes, relatively secure and private intrinsically.

Bingo. Life devoid of meaning because we spend most of it working, and the work doesn't have much meaning or do much for many people other than allow them to survive... to work another day. Sure, we could pretend that the people who don't find meaningful work are just not as good as those that are able to find meaningful work. Or we could decide that life isn't about work. Which does indeed begin to look like collective action is called for.

Only in a throughput based collector.

This here is a latency-optimized collector. It wants to run many, many small cleanups so that the main-application thread continues forward with the smallest amount of delay. Big cleanups require bigger delays.
I'm not sure why you think people can't, or don't, do both?

I don't want Apple to ever allow non-Safari browser engines onto iOS, because I've been around long enough to know that Chrome will inevitably be the only target for webdevs. The only reason any webdevs support anything but Blink currently is iOS.

I also think that Apple should improve Safari. You and I might disagree on what it means to improve Safari, though.

If you can think of how to avoid the first problem, I welcome your suggestions, but so far the only answer I ever see is, "that won't happen," almost always from people who never ran the NCSA Mosaic browser or used gopher.

So let's advocate for Apple to make Safari better--assuming we can agree on what that means--but never by insisting that they allow a Blink-based browser onto iOS.

P.S. CSS issues, yes! Push notifications and a few other PWA-specific issues, please no.

Pre-www this was a really valuable thing, but international outlets are on the internet now. If you read it in the Economist, it's because they've got some ideological axe to grind.
I wonder if it's preferable to just replace the door frames in that situation. It's not particularly difficult or time-consuming in most cases.

> Is there some other solution to this tracking proliferation?

Not in capitalist countries. Serving someone an ad that is actually relevant to them is good business.

The government doesn't need web cookies to find you, they can just call your ISP or your phone carrier, or check surveillance cameras, ask your bank, so-on. No one from these private companies has the time to look at the data, you are just a number to them.

Though it might feel like it, you aren't being spied on in any meaningful sense. You are just being profiled, as a tax to use all of the free services you have access to.

Paid services that don't sell your data are the way to go, if that kind of thing scares you. But the ads you see online are going to suck.
No. It was never allocated either.

It was virtual memory before it was used, but once you use it, it's mapped into physical memory and marked as dirty. So it may be swapped out or live there, those are the only two options.

It would take your OS being fully aware of your usage schema for it to be able to free the memory.
I'm glad that we're on the same page on this. Your motivation is totally understandable and the end result (including relevant blog post) is both very nicely done and educational. Thank you for this and your other resources that you share online! :-)

I'm answering questions about Pandas (the Python data analysis framework) on StackOverflow from time to time. It's an exercise in patience, because many people will post screenshots of their data instead of a reproducible code example. You'll have to point about every other newcomer to the documentation on how write a proper question that one can actually answer.

I'd imagine other areas around StackOverflow (SQL, R?) are fighting similar issues. I've just tried it with a question (sure enough the second newest Pandas tagged question had a table as an image), and your tool produced a nice .csv.

It would be a godsend to have a button on StackOverflow that would replace a user-uploaded image of a table with some Pandas code that constructs the same DataFrame. Currently I would have to download the image, upload it to extract-table.com, download the .csv, load it into Python, run some code to create the code-based DataFrame.

I'd consider sending people on StackOverflow to your tool if you cut down some of the steps: (1) allowing to paste in an URL of an image, and (2) producing Pandas code output that can be directly copy/pasted from the site (not having to download a csv).

For illustration: here's what the Pandas code would look like for the first example of extract-table.com:

df = pd.DataFrame( {'Name': {0: 'David', 1: 'Jessica', 2: 'Warren'}, 'Gender': {0: 'Male', 1: 'Female', 2: 'Male'}, 'Age': {0: 23, 1: 47, 2: 12}} )
There is an advantage to having it one place. I would guess they will be successful if they provide a good UX.

Frankly I’ve been surprised for a few years that they hadn’t launched a Carta competitor.
The average golf course in Arizona uses 450,000 gallons a day according to [1]. According to [2], this means we're talking about 4-8 golf courses per day. There are over 200 golf courses near Phoenix, so your concern is legitimate the water usage here is marginal relative to the economic impact. As other commenters have pointed out, if you really want to impact water issues, there are far more efficient ways to tackle them.

> But why would that be the case?

It's a pretty standard/common assumption that employees that are paid more are willing to take on more responsibility and care more about their job.

> Maybe they need the job more because they can't just go make more money driving a big rig and are then less likely to jeopardize it by doing something wrong.

This hypothetical is unsubstantiated, and I can easily flip the script: How do you know the non-CDL drivers need the job more when they can easily just go work for Uber, or at a Taxi company or similar?

> Plus, the driver of a smaller vehicle has fewer kids to care about, so the same amount of caring goes less diluted. If you get into a collision, the driver only has to take care of 8 kids instead of 40.

Presumably, more caring drivers (even if they have less "care per kid") will get into fewer accidents, which will be a magnitude of impact more than any actions taken after an accident ever could.

The reason for a car dependent lifestyle in the U.S is that people don't want to live around or take public transit with the riffraff. This does not make sense to anyone who lives in Europe.

I've built a thing for myself and maybe it'll be useful for others.

https://www.instantpreview.dev/ is like an instant, temporary Netlify or Vercel or Cloudflare Pages etc.

The difference? No hassle (no account needed) but also not permanent. Uploaded website expires after ~2 hrs

Why build it?

I have several projects where I generate static website. I often want to preview it before deploying.

Both Vercel and Netlify have cli that allows creating a preview but there's a lot of ceremony (need an account, need to create a project, need to create access token, keep the tokens secret).

So I made Instant Preview where you don't need any of that. Just upload files either by drag&drop in the browser or from cmd-line with curl and I'll create a private (hosted under random url), temporary (expires in ~2 hrs) preview of a static website.

It's not a web hosting service, just for previews. That's why expires in 2 hrs.

Can also upload from code (do a POST to https://www.instantpreview.dev/upload with either form-encoded name/content or raw ZIP file). Will return a URL for the content.

Concept inspired by transfer.sh, except for static websites and not files.

Remember, paying for that stuff had value in those times. People would buy directories and or pay for advice / direction from others in the know too.

Was hard to understand all that was going on out there. The ADS made more sense in that way than they do now. Sometimes, when a specific product was needed, those ADS connected people up in a way everyone found to have value.

One thing, perhaps missed today given content marketing, was following the ADS to see who did what. New products, old ones phasing out, where things were, who, and sometimes pretty good reasons why all were found in those ADS. Scanning them was not all fluff. (not always fluff I should say, because yeah. There was fluff)

I'm on the spectrum, but my experience isn't quite the same as yours.

- tags on shirts don't bother me much.

- I'm fine with loud music, especially European power metal, but I tend to keep the volume at 3 instead of going to 11 because I value my hearing.

- I don't like being around lots of people, so I rarely attend concerts.

- The voices of children, especially if they aren't using their indoor voices, pierces my head like a blunt icepick to the point of pain.

- TV/movies/podcasts/audiobooks tend to bore me; I prefer to read and immerse myself in text.

- I have a complexity jones.

It's not really anxiety, it's just that the world wasn't made for guys like me and I don't really belong here. I feel like I'm just doing hard time on planet Earth for a crime I don't remember committing. Must have been pretty fucking heinous, though.

> I have always described socializing and being around people as akin to exercise.

I am similar to you (I am also the person you're responding to). Case in point - the hardest "subject" in business school for me was the Happy Hour. But I am glad that through that experience, and other experiences like moving away from development towards management and even sales, as well as having a family, has forced me to develop these muscles.

The one thing I want to point out is that our experience of this is not universal. For example, my wife is naturally oriented towards people: her default is to be with her family, friends, helping patients at work, etc. So for her, socializing doesn't feel like exercising - but something like quiet solitude and introspection would. Perhaps this is obvious but your comment could be read that you think our view of socializing is universal and it's not.
