I've always found pre-signed URLs fragile and a pain to work with, when we solved this problem we just put cloudflare workers in front of b2, so the worker can sign requests to b2 itself, so the interface to the user can be simpler. Could just be a straight POST with bytes, then the worker will turn that into a PutObject call to the s3 api, it works pretty damn well.

If you are reading files back out again too you can use cloudflare caching to speed things up, its a good combo.
Best Parents | Remote (we coordinate from 7 AM to 10 AM Pacific Time, HQ is in SFBA) | Full-Time | Technical Team Lead

Reminds me of a weird kids toy from the 90s before electronics made this sort of analog trickery less cost effective, that was meant to make weird sci fi sounds like that by having a slinky like spring inside a tube. Wish I could find a decent picture or tear down but trying to remember borderline throwaway cost county fair toy names is hard enough two decades on, and on top of that the names were never “brand names” just decals slapped onto a cardboard tube, so it was whatever they tried to sell it as, I remember a lot of cash in not a “lightsaber” type naming towards the end of the 90s after the Star Wars prequels started hitting the cinemas.
That's a great story and a beautiful reminder that relying on data to make decisions is not always a good strategy.

I sometimes feel like people forget that data is an effect of our decisions and actions, not the other way around.

A bit off topic, but this is also a reminder that even conspiring to put a miniscule banner can't go unnoticed, let alone one with much grander objectives like inserting chips into billions of vaccines, or fake a moon landing.
Peak oil predicted this sort of thing, given whats also happening in the UK atm with petrol availability and natural gas prices, this is smelling more and more like the 70s only without an OPEC to bribe our way out of it.
DJVU and PDF are largely equivalent in that both result in fixed-layout documents, which is what I'm distinguishing here. Both HTML and ePub are liquid and reflow. That's most useful when your display is poorly suited to reading textual documents.

Awning | Sr. / Staff Backend Engineer | Remote | Full-Time | https://www.awning.com

Awning helps individuals invest in Single Family Real Estate. Over 20% of Single Family Homes purchased this year were purchased as rentals. There is no dominant real estate technology nor is there a brokerage that supports individuals through the real estate investing process. Awning is a service that makes it much easier for individuals to invest in rental properties and gives individuals a level playing field with institutional investors like BlackRock and Goldman who are entering the space and making it harder for individuals to compete with the speed at which these players move in the market. We've raised $9.3M from top investors and are growing quickly.

We're hiring a Sr. / Staff Backend engineer to help us solve real estate data problems and to help us build features for our customers and agents to use. Some of the fun problems you can work on at Awning include search, dynamic calculations of returns on real estate investments, and mangling complex real estate data. We are built in AWS and we use Python, Django, Redshift, and Airflow. We're completely remote & distributed.

YouTube has resisted it specifically because the spectacular failure of Google Videos.

But you can totally see Google's hands in their business decisions such as shoving GPM into YouTube Music and switching their entire ad stack to be Google exclusive (an obvious move).
This is a good story. You can take away several things from it. Here's mine: it demonstrates the value of reputation and trust and how easily they're lost and how hard they are to recover.

IE4 came out at a time when Microsoft considered Netscape an existential threat. IE4 was really the last nail in the coffin. It was actually way better/faster than NS. By the time IE6 came around, there was no imminent threat to Windows in the form of the Web being a platform replacement. So IE6 stagnated and became the bane of the Internet. IE-specific hacks (and IE6 in particular) became the norm for Web developers. It was pervasive too. For example, IE had a completely different interpretation of the CSS box model to everyone else (specifically, how padding, margin and width should interoperate).

Fast forward some years and Microsoft is not the same place it was under Gates or, more importantly, Ballmer (he had the longer tenure in the modern Internet era). Nadella really does seem to represent a different approach and MS has produced some great tech (eg Typescript).

But IE died because of the reputation it earned and all the existing hacks around it. It got renamed to Edge specifically to avoid the if-IE blocks and to more cleanly cast off IE-legacy behaviour.

But the fact is, no one really trusts MS anymore when it comes to the Web (Typescript notwithstanding). So Edge just became rebranded Webkit much like Safari/Chrome.

To be fair, some other stuff contributed to the death of IE and some of it was pretty dodgy (eg little things Google did that crippled non-Chrome browsers such as hardware video decoding on Youtube).

Anyway, you see this too with Google and what's now a meme about chat applications (Meet, Talk, Hangouts, Duo, allo, anyone?). Google is also now a meme for dropping support for things people use. Reader is the posterchild for this even though my opinion is this wasn't as big of a deal as people make out.

But the cost in all that is now no one trusts anything Google launches to be there in 3 years. Reputation matters. Apple gets this even though they've also killed some things (eg Safari for Windows). Google really doesn't.

Lastly, as far as Youtubers having an identity of not being Googlers, this was certainly still the case 5 years ago and may still be the case today. They have a separate campus (in San Bruno) and generally eschew anything Google3-related. They also still called themselves Youtubers.
It's actually the result of this optimization -- since compacted items don't shift, a fully compacted belt will not move, even if the full compaction is in a circle.

I assume there must be some effect in getting new drinkers.

I’ve tried lots of colas. I’m never buying a Pepsi if there is Coke. I will always buy soft drinks in this order: Cherry Coke, Cherry Dr Pepper, Dr Pepper, Coke, maybe I’ll just have water. At this point no amount of advertising will change my mind.

The funny part is every analogy we make is just something in this universe, so all we do is move the mysticism to a lowlier object.

If we eventually do find out that materials cause consciousness, then material will become mystical. Really, we cannot win.

The Gradual Discovery of Glasses
I just switched jobs...I was a senior software engineer at Cameo and I just joined Disney as a senior software engineer/tech lead. I loved Cameo, especially the culture and people but my wife is leaving her job as a hospital nurse to strike out on her own as a nurse practitioner. So I needed big corporation benefits, not startup benefits. Specifically health insurance that is good for the whole family, not just a 20 year old. There are other benefits that made the switch worthwhile like tuition assistance, childcare, free tutoring for kids, and a lot more.

I was fortunate to have had the opportunity to take a Physics of Music course in college that counted as the physics requirement.

It was really nice to have the mysteries what makes music appealing be an academic focus for the summer. We even had a project at the end where we built an instrument. I made a fairly rudimentary xylophone with some pipes and a hand pipe cutter.
I totally agree with you in theory, but someone went and created debt in my name. That is a form of theft. They used my identity to commit a theft. When I was filing a police report, they were talking about how to file it, as fraud, theft and/or identity theft. I thought it was funny that I was considering the semantics of what type of theft it was as well. I agree that the problem is with the system, but I don't think calling it something else will remove the current onus on the individual vs. the company. Anyways, at the end of the day we were both defrauded.

What I do take issues with is how easy they make it with no compensation. Someone opened an account in my name in a state I haven't been to in 10 years while I was 3000 miles away on the other coast. In the end, I felt like I should have been paid for my time from the company that let this happen because at the end of the day they felt to me like an accomplice.

Calling it "identity theft" is like saying it's the fault of the person you called when you dial a wrong number on the phone.
Even those are going to be taken out of service and sold into the used market at some point. When that happens, trying to sell a car without A/C in the Las Vegas area is going to be about as successful as trying to sell a swift kick in the gonads.

Weird to use Github for a simple list of hyperlinks. Anyways, this debate is extremely political as this is essentially a Bitcoin Cash viewpoint, and lightning makes BCH obsolete if it works, so from any dogmatic holder of BCH the motivated reasoning is obvious. That doesn’t mean issues can’t be true, but from following both the BTC and BCH communities for a long time I have trouble stomaching the same critiques about lightning over and over when it’s clear one community has never wanted it to work, and actively shit on progress or innovation. As soon as you see the monetary incentives posts like this start feeling like an insult to your intelligence, whether they fundamentally have a point or not.

This isn't all that remarkable. Let's assume a giant asteroid did destroy a city that could be corrolated with Sodom and Gomorrah. (I'm not saying we have reason to believe this, just let's assume it did).

What would people do? Claim that that's how a god smote the evil in the city.

Just another example in a long line of disasters/attestations to a god.
My first job was in the New Jersey boondocks. Very beautiful place, interesting work but no people around. I couldnt afford a car and the bus would show up just 4 times a day. There was just one Walmart and a Chinese restraunt nearby. So after work, all I did for nearly a year was pick up Chinese food and sit and watch Sopranos every night.
I think the Sopranos depressed me more than the actual reality of my isolation.

My take away was, depressed people really should be kept away from writing shows that are mass broadcast to the chimp troupe. They have great awarsness of people and social issues but dont see paths to solutions or happy endings. And therefore do not have the capacity to produce hope in others. The end result is depressed people depressing people.

Its what literary critics call hysterical realism. To much American writing is either escapist fantasy or hysterical realism. Both effectivdly capture attention but dont leave the consumer of the narrative in a mentally healthier place.
It is a solid, and your description isn’t really accurate. It’s not the semiconductor that is being imaged.

The semiconductors are being used to generate a contained cloud of electrons, basically a gas of electrons between the semiconductors.

That gas is then cooled until it crystallizes.

So what you are seeing is a layer of crystallized electrons.

> It is not a "solid" that is only composed of electrons, with no atomic nuclei present.

That is indeed what it is.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wigner_crystal

From Wikipedia:

“ A Wigner crystal is the solid (crystalline) phase of electrons first predicted by Eugene Wigner in 1934. A gas of electrons moving in 2D or 3D in a uniform, inert, neutralizing background will crystallize and form a lattice if the electron density is less than a critical value.”
A lot of industries got hit by whiplash. They were assuming a pandemic would spark a massive recession and contraction in demand, so they cancelled orders for supplies, shut down production, and battened down the hatches. But due to truly historic government intervention, and reduced demand for in-person services, consumers actually had a huge amount of money to spend on manufactured goods and demand very quickly shot up. Combine this with ongoing disruption of the supply chains due to outbreaks, and we have an unbelievable clusterfuck in goods with deep, global supply chains.
Pearl was!
This is just cost control.

I just had FedEx deliver a package from the US to Australia, it took 48 hours (and four days for the warehouse in Sydney to send me an email about customs inspections fees) and cost US$32 for several kilos of electronics. So freight is expensive but the expense depends more on the volume of the shipper.

LN is a "soltion" Blockstream (tm) created to solve a problem Blockstream created.

"Solution" because it does not actaully allow fast and cheap "cash-like" transactions as Bitcoin was originally designed to do (and still can easily scale to Visa-like levels).

From day one Satoshi had built Bitcoin to scale to to Visa levels of transactions by simply incrementaly increasing the block size over time. Blockstream hijacked the Bitcoin Core GitHub repo and soon after disabled several core features and have since refused to increase the block size while pushing their products (Liquid and LN) as "solutions" to this problem they created.

There is the book on this called 'Subprime Attention Crisis' by Tim Hwang that tries to argue this point.

It is only partially successful in its goals of saying the sky is falling.

The overall message I came away with was that online advertising has some serious issues that need addressing - but they aren't anything that cannot be solved.

If there is a bubble then I suspect it isn't anywhere near as big as it is made out to be and that any "crash" will be more of a slow correction than the bottom suddenly dropping out.
This is what I'm afraid of.

I just worked for some stupid government contractor building web-apps of all things, albeit the product was for a US military branch.

However consider the case of those Canadians held on trumped charges to get back at the US/Canada for arresting the Huawei executive.

This is super cool, and is a convenient blueprint for the Python (un)conference I’ve wanted to run for years! “Snakes on a Train” has been an idea I’ve talked to plenty of people at Python conferences about over the years, and I never could work out how to make it practical based on the cost of tickets, now I have a blueprint it may just happen before I get to old to enjoy it.
Back when many people attempted to support ie6 and even ie4 (oof), we would sometimes joke about the amount of global developer man-hours spent on doing so (millions probably if you think about it).

The drive for legacy IE support took a chunk out of the productivity of so many projects.
Fouths tuning is all right for chromatic runs. You can play five notes per string with a slide legato, or go diagonally:

x x x x
x x x x
x x x x

The major third between the G - B strings in standard tuning provides relief from the diagonal

x x x x
x x x x } maj 3rd
x x x x }
x x x x
...

It seems like chromatic runs would be a source of difficulty for the violinist tuning in standard fifths.
The only way to win is to not play the game.
I realized based on several of the comments here that I should have included a comparison with OS filesystem caching in the documentation for freqfs. I will update this in the next release.

The major advantage of freqfs over just letting the OS handle file caching is that with freqfs you can read and mutate the data that your file represents purely in memory. For example, if you implement a BTree node as a struct, you can just borrow the struct mutably and update it, and it will only be synchronized with the filesystem in the event that it's evicted (or you explicitly call `sync`). This avoids a lot of (de)serialization overhead and defensive coding against an out-of-memory error.

Again, I will update the documentation to clarify.
