also, there is some serious hypocrisy on the part of RP and his followers. They are libertarians. They are all in on private indivduals and companies having very little restriction on their activities, with the notion that "the free market" fixes all problems. So why is it a problem that youtube banned Ron Paul? They can do whatever they want, RP merely needs to find the correct market solution to his problem. There should not be any complaints. Yet we see these "libertarian" followers extremely upset.

there's a point here. Which is that "libertarianism" is a fiction. its adherents really want something else, which we often refer to as "freedom for me, but not for thee". they should stop.

> Public transit tapers off because demand drops off. There will be a spike around closing time for bars but it seems unlikely that you'd want to launch a whole commercial service just based on that.

Public transit is also based on an order of magnitude larger transport. You're talking about buses that are made to move 50-100 people or trains made to move hundreds... not a car that will be moving 1-3. The reason many routes get cut down isn't because there's no demand at all - it's because the demand is below the threshold to run the service profitably. If you can cut down on the cost to run the service by cutting the driver out, making the vehicle cheaper to run the route, and so forth... the route will come back.

I think this service will do fine. This is one the issues that SF has in a large part. Very hard to get around at night because public transit is dead before midnight.

At Fyne we believe that the Go language is just so much easier to build with that following its idioms is a really positive thing. Language bridges and library ports can make it harder to develop.
Of course you don't have to rebuild your apps, Qt and KDE and EFL apps will all work just fine inside a FyneDesk setup as we follow FDO specs etc.

The scalpers don't suck up profit, since if there is a functioning market, you can't really scalp.

Scalping exists when there is a discrepancy between a marked price and the market price of an item. If scalpers were not a thing, you would have shortages. With scalpers, you still have shortages, but you can acquire the good by paying a higher, market clearing price.

That higher price either makes it so that rich people can get the thing (most don't like this), or that people who really need it can get it (i.e. lifesaving medication etc). So your view of scalpers might be influenced by the distribution of (1) and (2) going on.
TBH, as the Dockerfile based Lambda layers have a 20GB file size limit, I'm not sure the size matters as much.

It's certainly easier to figure out what's going on in a smaller container though! I've had to debug some nasty situation with layers in Python Lambdas before and it's not fun...
There haven't been many breakthroughs in the past twenty years in regards to fuel efficiency. They're just gaming the numbers at this point by making the engines have higher and higher compression at the cost of making them less and less reliable.

Maybe old cars being dramatically less fuel efficient was true in the 90s when an "old-car" was from the 70s.
Meh. Imagine the set of 10k x 10k pixel RGB images. The mona lisa is in there, as are images from your worst nightmares.

To move bytes out of network, you need more than a transit contract. You need routers, you need people to operate them. All this is absent from Cloudflare's blog post. With the example provided on South Korea, the conclusion should be that the egress fees are only marginally infuenced by the transit cost.

There are already automatic subway systems. You could make BRT autonomous pretty easily too since it runs on its own separated grade in a fixed route. You could throw down some sensors in the road surface and call it a day like the technology used in the new disneyland star wars ride.
Severely underrated comment.

Having relied heavily on the (unofficial, non-GNU) gawk manpage extensively (it's quite good), I instantly started learning very useful features reading the GNU docs. (I still need to fully internalise those). Yes, the full manual is very much better than the manpage.

(Also recommend The AWK Programming Language mentioned here, though I'd suggest the GNU manual adds to that as well.)

> For the latter, we've checked out Postgres Foreign Data Wrappers, but they don't seem portable to the cloud hosted services like RDS.

My experience is that teams who want the full power of postgresql run their own compute nodes because of limitations like this.

It's a trade-off, as almost everything is, but I suspect the sort of company who's buying in to things like RLS is also the sort of company who're reasonably likely to have already migrated off RDS in digust.

I could easily be wrong, of course, but at the very least I think it's worth asking your users before assuming that excluding RDS would be a problem for the people who would want the feature in the first place.
But here's the thing: aren't most alternatives to global, some other kind of global state anyway, but possibly better managed?

One of my motorcycles is from 1973. Nary a tube or chip on it. I think it's got a turn blinker that's kinda a flip-flop, but I think it's just charging and discharging capacitors. It's lasted way longer than most modern disposable vehicles.

I don't know if most of these things actually require digital features.
Portability.

The /usr/bin/env trick will work on a wide range of systems, in which even common utilities might have numerous locations: /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin, /usr/bin/local, /opt, or others. If you're writing scripts for portability and ohers, this has value.

That said, /usr/bin/env fails on Android/Termux AFAIU.
How I learn algorithms and data structures
By way of counter-example, check out this ICFP contest retrospective. Nikita is using clojure, a pretty niche language, but has built up incredible fluency with both the language and the ecosystem so that he can quickly throw out web scrapers and gui editors. Whereas I wouldn't be able to quickly solve those problems in any language after flitting around from ecosystem to ecosystem for 12 years.

The thing with niche languages like Clojure is that you can leverage existing ecosystems(reducing the risk of getting stuck) unlike other languages that start from scratch. Probably the same for languages like F#, Kotlin and even Zig (using the C ecosystem).

Of course, I found the article great with lots of good advice(ex: I still wouldn't use Clojure if Javascript can get the job done perfectly fine) so don't let this nitpick distract you or look the other way ;)
Reminds me of how some people now think that the term "blacklist" is discriminatory.

To be honest, I could somewhat understand the people who found "master/slave" terminology insensitive. But with the term "blacklist" being interpreted racially, I think now is the time to start saying "no" to idiots who are looking for trouble. The suggestion that these terms took their original meaning from people's skin colour is absolutely bonkers; haven't light and dark been associated with safety and danger since forever?

I don't think this is creeping fascism. I think it's worse: It's creeping idiocy. And it looks like companies and institutions are giving into these idiots out of sheer spinelessness and a desire to avoid trouble. I don't want to be dictated to by idiots, ever -- they should just be called what they are.
>There is zero profit motive on a military base.

And yet, the military is one of last institutions that the American public still has faith in. It's almost as if people realize there can be many motives, beyond profit, that drive people to act in a certain way.

>The overclocking community seemed much bigger 10-15 years ago.

Now you're making me nostalgic. 10-15 years ago was both my teenage years and the end of the overclocking golden era. I remember overclocking the living shit out of all kinds of Core2 stuff without anything except a stock cooler and a modest voltage bump that was still within Intel's "safe" recommendations.

One of the best gains was with an E5200 I spend around $120 on brand new. Bumped that up from 2.5GHz to 3.8GHz and the performance was closer to a then-$300 E8400 than the low end Pentium I'd purchased.

The last CPU I overclocked was an i7 2600k, which was my daily driver until last year (!!!).

On one hand, I miss that crazy era, but on the other hand I understand why it had to go away. Intel just don't have the sheer performance advantage to be able to gimp their own chips like that any more.

Edit: Just remembered some of the gimping AMD did, like the HD 6950 that could be upgraded to a 6970 with nothing but a BIOS flash, and the "3-core" Phenoms with a 4th core that could be unlocked in the BIOS.

This seems to the basic understanding most people have. At school, they teach you about food webs and how breaking one link can ruin everything. That's an enticing idea but is it really true? I'm sure there have been some known cases or it wouldn't be in the text books, but is it common enough to get worried about every obscure species?
What of those who graduated from engineering programs taught at engineer colleges?

Lots of people in other engineering disciplines build stuff with less rigor than is used to build software. Maybe load test it in Fusion 360 before sending the file to be milled. And lots of software companies test their stuff quite rigorously.

People who write software have imposter syndrome. Other disciplines are not building things better than we do. For every Google there's a Ford, and for every scrappy startup there's a scrappy machine shop.
Scalpers allow people who are not price sensitive or have inelastic demand priority over people who are lucky / first.

The ethics depends on the exact case study provided. If it's a rich person buying an xbox (not price sensitive) - that's one thing, and most people would not support it. If it's someone needing an IC for a heart monitor to stay alive (inelastic demand), most would say that providing them an IC over someone who wants to play the latest video game is a good service.

Scalpers do both (1) and (2).
Just in case you're not aware of, Tesla has a long history of fatal cases driven by Autopilot[1] with the first case below:

This entire incident occurred without any actual input or action taken by the driver of the Tesla vehicle, except that the driver had his hands on the steering wheel as measured by Tesla’s Autosteer system. Indeed, the Tesla Model X was equipped with an Event Data Recorder (EDR) which is intended to enable Tesla to collect data and record information from its vehicles and also provides information on various processes of the vehicle’s functioning systems when a crash occurs. The information regarding vehicle speed as extracted from the Tesla Model X provides proof of the foregoing facts[2]

If you can’t rule something out because it goes against everything else we know, then you can’t rule anything out, ever, for any reason.

If you don’t respect consistency and prior probability, then causality itself breaks down, and I’m wondering how exactly do you feed yourself and cross streets safely. Unless you know perfectly well how reasoning works and you just don’t apply that when you comment on science articles.

I think there are these technological problems, many that overlap with AI, that a lot of politically powerful people want to come to fruition to enable the World Economic Forum lauded "Fourth Industrial Revolution" [1] and they are willing to invest insane amounts of money in them without expecting much of a return, thus creating really big p/e ratios. Examples include:

1. Self-driving cars. The ultimate being no steering wheel and carefully software controlled and permissioned as to where you are allowed to go.

2. AI powered Body monitoring devices (e.g Fitbit) that can be used to biologically monitor millions of consumers body states and functions.

3. Any new kind of surveillance technology. Miracle mass surveillance is something that's really interesting to this market.

4. Large centralized social media networks that aggressively moderate content with AI.

5. Various kinds of transhumanist biotech that design all sorts of biotech stuff with AI. What the heck is Calico up to anyway?

6. Blockchain stuff. AI enabled or otherwise.

They are also interested in environment tech like any kind of alternative energy, no matter how speculative or impractical and fake meat, but I digress.

So I would guess the bubble is the WEF crowd and friends with absurd amounts of money trying to make their future, for good or ill, a reality and investing without much regard for the economics of the project.

Algorithms and Data Structures – Why does it matter
By saying it's a "rotating pool", that implicitly means people aren't trapped at their existing job.
The general strategy is to test the system to the point where any bug like that is an edge case, some weird input you didn’t expect.

So every time you get that input you’ll still crash, but other transactions will continue normally. Hopefully that input is either due to a transitory glitch like a bit flipped in RAM, or a user who isn’t bored enough to keep submitting it, but either way the process isolation means all your other jobs can continue.

One does not have to go far, just look back to the beginning of the pandemic where many people were banned and silenced for pointing out

1. Preliminary research showing masks work contrary to the official positions of CDC and WHO

2. People talking about how masks may not be as effective as original research thought, after the CDC said masks where perfect in every-way and infallible god like barriers preventing all covid. Or talking about how masks may work but masking policies down (the AI could not tell the difference was was shutting down anyone that dared question masks or masking policy)

3. Talking about Lab Leak before it was recognized officially as a possibility by WHO and CDC

4. Any talks about treatments that are not the offical vaccines some of which do have studies showing effectiveness, and I am not talking about the "horse paste" though even banning for that is ridiculous people where banned for talking about mAb treatment before it became blessed by the CDC

5. People that were questioning and talking about actual research that was being done on surface spread, showing it was not as prevalent as "Authoritative sources". People where bleaching their groceries when they got home due to the insanity and if you called that out... BANNED you disagreed with the CDC

I have more than that if you would like? I could probally triple my list of examples

[1] A topic I've been up close & personal with. Closer than anyone would believe if they hadn't been there.

On Kodiak Island there are thousands of grizzlies and very few residents or tourists. You can't drive there and AFAIK the cruise ships don't go there. It's possible to get within a few feet of the bears IF you're with a licensed guide (who has a rifle). I've seen Nature docs on TV since I did this, so I know there are people who approach the bears and live to tell.

I took all these photos and the video myself. Those videos you see of bears just snatching fish out of the water are for tourists; most of the bears have to work for their fish.

But yeah, there's so much salmon that they just eat the fatty parts and leave the rest.
