> cars used to break down much more often and require much more skilled maintenance.

Yeah, but “skilled maintenance “ was an easy skill. There could only be a handful of things wrong if it didn’t start: e.g. no spark, no fuel. In the case of no spark, you check the plug, see if it’s dirty, change it if so; check the distributor, maybe the points are bad; check the coil or condenser… yeah there were things to check, but you could actually fix it once you learned about it. And yes, you could do this on the side of the road—there were “tool rolls” you could have for such purposes.

Now, you get a check engine light and the code reader says, in so many words: “bring to dealer and pay up”
Stellantis, the controlling company, is more or less an aggregation of all those car brands which makes you go "wait, _they're_ still in business?!", so, I mean, it's kind of plausible.
When AWS was a baby charging around $0.10/GB for egress I had a quote sitting on my desk from Akamai wanting $1.50/GB for a minimum of 1TB per month.

They were (are?) even more addicted to their egress charges.
I’m wary of these kinds of stories, where someone PR-savvy with a grudge lobs nebulous complaints against a company. Can anyone at BO without a grudge substantiate this “toxicness”?
No amount of "cleaning up our act" will undo damage already done. The solution is always technology because that's what technology is - solutions to problems. Changing behavior can allow you to avoid a problem, but only technology will fix a problem you've failed to avoid.
There are days when you don't want to do what you do
There are days when you don't want to do what you do regularly. It happened to me yesterday and today with workouts. I train in the morning, but yesterday I woke up completely broken - my whole body was somehow not in shape and my muscles ached. I rewound and realized that this was due to an hour and a half big tennis game.

I used to play big tennis in high school back in the days. At the beginning of this year, a business partner pulled me out to play a couple of times and I was bad - some technique remained, of course, muscle memory and all the things, but playing with me was definitely boring. This Monday I was fortunate enough to play with the owner of the fund, who is our facilitator in the Netherlands and... I believe I was good) I hit the ball more often than I expected and ran across the field "like crazy." I enjoyed it so much! But! You can't jump right off the bat like that. More precisely, you can, but you have to pay for everything. I paid with my body and even had to drink painkillers to recover and work.

I missed the workout yesterday, today I just wanted to psychologically too, but it is important to notice and collect such moments on time. Instead of skipping, I just took the shortest 10-minute warm-up with workout and ... did not miss! I did workout and feel better. I will gradually return to my 30-minute everyday workouts in the week.

TL;DR; in moments of weakness, do not miss what is important to you - do it on at least the minimum, the appetite will come with eating
That's correct: the trust fund runs out and it won't be able to meet the full obligation. It will be able to meet partial obligations, though there's no law specifying how.

This isn't GenX complaining that Social Security should go away. That was GenX complaining that Boomers spent the 80s spending extravagantly through the federal government, and racking up enormous debts, while patting themselves on the back for being fiscally conservative.

It wasn't the Social Security they were unhappy with, but the other expenditures. Which expenditures, of course, are always hard to pin down -- it's easy to complain about the bottom line but not to say what you want to cut. Many would point to the ballooning military budget -- and that's all before 9/11.

But that's water under the bridge. We still expect to receive less Social Security than our forebears, and there's practically nothing we can do about it.
Yes, they are in separate folders, but don't think it has to do with PG per se. My autocomplete works well, don't think I did anything special. Maybe added a schema to the "search path?" May have been pgcli (which I also recommend).
Meh I think they just don't care. I've been building a desktop environment and installing dozens of existing ones (open source and otherwise) in VMs to examine crucial components.

It's appalling how the simplest UI/UX items are broken in most of them. It's stuff that's certainly no harder than the technical stuff that these talented people do otherwise, when you look at the issues and complex bugs reported on Github/Launchpad. But they can't be arsed to put a caps-lock warning on the login screen or have a blinking cursor in their text-field, really basic stuff.

As a result I've paused the project and am designing a list of UI/UX specifications for basic desktop environment software. For open-source projects to be friendly to users all we have to do is get the developers to put the editor down and not skip the first step, it's not complicated it's just not a fun technical challenge.
I don't understand how you can say that. Markdown is massively more complicated than the equivalent HTML. HTML syntax is simple: Every gizmo is expressed as a <tag> and optionally an end </tag>, there are escapes for <, > and &, and that's all that ever needs escaping.

Markdown, on the other hand, has a syntax that is ever expanding. It's all exceptions to exceptions to exceptions (exceptions all the way down).

For example, what happens if in a markdown document talking about regular expressions you have this text: [^A-Za-z]. Will it be interpreted as a footnote? Or is it an exception? Who knows, only trial and error will tell.
It’s self driving cars, not autonomous governments. Considering how distracted and impaired the average driver is, this might be a godsend.
They are different systems. Bart is a regional transport agency funded by ticket sales and sales taxes in the Northern CA bay area. SF has regional bus lines but a few bart stops. SamTrans is the San Mateo bus system but they go all the way to Marin County and have a few stops in SF. Caltrain is a completely separate agency and funding unit that runs down the peninsula but also has two stops in SF.

You can say they should all be consolidated but these are overlapping areas - BART can't have SF running it in the one area, Oakland running it in another area, etc. So consolidation means moving upward -- e.g. the state of California would run it. But no one wants to lose local control of services they are funding. Why would the city of SF cede control of its bus system to the state? So the control is where the funding is, and you have these overlapping and competing transit lines, all of which operate in San Francisco, but do not accept each other's ticket or payment systems.
Indeed! And we just released a new AWS Native provider which builds on top of this new AWS Cloud Control API: https://www.pulumi.com/blog/announcing-aws-native/.

I'm really excited about what Cloud Control API enables more broadly as well. I see this as a new high bar for cloud provider resource provisioning APIs, and it's an approach I hope to see more of across the industry going forward.

Previously, to provision and manage a resource, you would need to find the REST APIs for that specific resource, and define your own model for what set of REST API calls constitute a logical Create, Read, Update or Delete operation. This work was done and re-done in dozens or hundreds of cloud provisioning tools.

But AWS themselves had already built a model for doing this, and service teams at AWS were already defining their own well-defined resource model - the CloudFormation resource model for their services/features - it was just locked up behind CloudFormation templates as the only way to author and deploy resources using this resource model.

With Cloud Control API, all of the value of that resource model, and the work by teams at AWS to cleanly define that resource model, is now unlocked to be used by any sort of provisioning tool or service - not just CloudFormation templates.

At Pulumi, that has enabled us to build our new AWS Native provider on top of Cloud Control API, but it opens up tons of additional scenarios as well. Kudos to the AWS team for their work on this!
A good question, and apparently enough to elict a response: No!

> This issue was caused by our own change and not related to any third-party DNS software and services.
so this isn't related to the article so much, but to something the article reminded me about: why do people use /usr/bin/env to find a program rather than setting the PATH within the script to a known-good value then using that to locate things?

the path that /usr/bin/env returns is (essentially) a global variable that can change underneath you, right? I mean that just screams "variable that may be changed by others" to me.

I've never understood why /usr/bin/env exists.

Have you seen SerenityOS? https://serenityos.org/

"A graphical Unix-like operating system for desktop computers!

SerenityOS is a love letter to '90s user interfaces with a custom Unix-like core. It flatters with sincerity by stealing beautiful ideas from various other systems.

Roughly speaking, the goal is a marriage between the aesthetic of late-1990s productivity software and the power-user accessibility of late-2000s *nix.

This is a system by us, for us, based on the things we like."

Many outages are caused by malicious actors attacking your infrastructure. This cause may not be apparent at all until much later.

It's better to avoid leaking any information in general during the incident, as it's often not immediately possible to know whether a hostile adversary exists, nor what advantages the adversary might derive from detailed updates during the incident.
1. Common misconception is only right leaning views are being demonetized, it's all politics so yea they are also being punished by youtube as well.

2. People aren't dieing/being permanently injured at rates that hospitals can't keep up with because of the lack of police because the movement was so effective that it has vast swaths of the population without policing. So much so standard solvable emergencies that you could normally be treated for at the hospital end up killing you due to lack of availability of doctors.

3. Those beliefs are based on studies that have been upheld and are reproducible how ineffective current policing policies are and are underperforming by numerous metrics and especially over all in areas with poverty or mostly minority population. So not paying them more money (defund)or rewarding them for underperforming, like one would a corporation that is under performing was the original goal. It has spun a vocal minority into more extreme views of abolishing the police entirely after having emotional reactions looking deeper at those numbers.
> white-tailed deer are growing exponentially

Yes, and worse, some (uninformed people) see the growth of any species as a positive sign that nature is bouncing back, or whatever. When in reality, ecosystems are hugely out of balance and the vast growth of one species is just a spasm as the system shakes itself apart. The knock-on effect of one species's sudden growth spurt may take decades to play out in the shadows, but it is almost assuredly not a good thing.
CIA Vienna station chief removed amid 'Havana syndrome' criticism
You think no comments within 20 minutes of posting is enough to make that kind of claim over?
Negative. Like scalping everywhere, they're middlemen who contribute nothing to society, and make it more difficult for people who do.
I am probably just a horrible person, but I just don’t care about the extinction of such specific species. Often a member of one species is practically impossible to tell from a member of a different species save for where the individual was found. I care a lot more if “crows” are endangered than if “efitz’ southeastern marble crested crow” is endangered. [ed: spelling]

Also, I suspect that such narrowly defined species go extinct rather frequently; it’s sad that human destruction of habitats contributed but as a species we Homo sapiens outcompeted them and made the world better (in someone’s point of view) for Homo sapiens, or we wouldn’t have been developing the land in the first place.

In policy setting I would strongly prefer that we look at things less granularity than the species, at least for small animals.
I'm not sure I understand that logic -- Germany has far more potential customers than Austria. And it's not like the average German travels ten times as many miles by train as the average Austrian. Also, the BahnCard can only be used for some, but not all local transit options, which looks like a hassle.
It depends on what is causing the lack of supply. If the bottleneck lies in factors beyond the control of consumers, i.e. discontinued production, or shortage of raw material, then I see no inherent issue with scalping. But if it’s the scalpers themselves that cause an otherwise plentiful supply to become scarce, then they are the cause of the shortage, rather than the effect, and their behavior should be curbed. The problem is that the former situation can easily lead to the latter via a panic buying feedback loop, and it’s not entirely clear where the distinction should be drawn.
While this doesn't preclude your scenario, note that cloudflare acquired appfleet recently, which was a similar service:

It is usually just plain old development destroying their habitats. Suburbs, highways, logging etc. destroy their home and the species dies out.

Short answer: No, they're not.

Longer answer:
I'm confused by the examples given. Nothing there is a best practice IMO, they are only opinions.

This writer is confusing "use git" or more basically "use version control" with the how's and why's underneath. Everything beyond "use it" is an opinion, with multiple "best" options depending on your desired workflow or requirements.

Same for Java - the senior explained why this version of "best" is best for them, but the real best practice of "define your interface as a contract" is hidden behind these opinions.

Contrast this with the civil engineer used as an example, who might say "use a safety factor of 3x rated weight for all fasteners" as their best practice. Using fasteners rated at 2x is a violation of that, but using screws vs bolts vs adhesive are all opinions and depend on the particulars and preferences of whoever is doing the work.
The "religious reasons" he's talking about are "zero inventory" or "JIT inventory" pioneered by Japanese auto makers in the 80s and 90s. By optimizing inventory management and understanding demand for your product, you can ensure you don't have excess inventory on-site (meaning you don't have money invested in product parts you can't sell and have to pay taxes on). It's the system that virtually every manufacturer (auto or otherwise) uses now.

It's why major supply chain issues cause catastrophic manufacturing problems.

I think you were right. after reading your comment, and the other you mentioned, I ordered a small UPS that will shield my modem and router from transient power problems, and while it hasn't been a full day, yet, I haven't had to reboot anything since I installed that guy.

so far I am quite glad that I mentioned my problem here.

I have not kept up on Tunisian politics but if someone else knows, I am curious if this is a positive result from the Arab Spring protests or if this is an unrelated change.

> Write good content

Then why do pages at the top of search results for everyday searches like recipes all have that godawful life-story blogspam structure?

Those sites are the polar opposite of “good content” and yet they hit the top rankings regardless.

Nobody writing in good faith sets out to write “content”. Anybody whose objective is “content” is not to be trusted.

No, the way to get top ranking is to throw your readers under the bus and recognize how this game works: your objective is to create a page that shoves as many adverts as you can in your reader’s face. Short content? Pad that shit out so you can fit more interstitials amongst its paragraphs. Google makes money off most of these adverts, so they are happy to reward such sites with high rankings. You’re happy. Google is happy. Who else matters?

No.

The all-inclusive Lambda workers are limited to 50ms of actual CPU runtime and can execute forever (i.e. hours) for IO bound workloads, as long as you stay below the 50 network requests per execution. And for that they cost $0.50/million, have unlimited in/egress bandwidth and free in-DC caching.

But they also have a more AWS-like pricing option that’s about 20% cheaper and charges per request, per GB-hour (for runtime, not actual CPU usage) and for bandwidth with a maximum runtime of 15 minutes.

They also have Durable Workers which provide you global singleton persistent functions for stateful architecture.
