How does WebRTC reveal my IP address in a way that regular browsing does not? Can you point me to a site to see what is being leaked?
Just wanted to second this, if you ride a bike regularly, even a quiet one, wear hearing protection. After a year commuting on my 250 I looked outside and saw that it was raining - I hadn't even heard the rain begin. I started wearing earplugs every ride and my hearing's back to normal but it was a wakeup call. These days I don't ride as much but I'll wear ear plugs any time I'll be going over 60km/h.

What use case would you be looking for the name? Do you name all your Python stuff Python? C++?
I am interested to know what your day to day experience is and what quantifies wasting ones time? What if that is the persons hobby and passion was it really time wasted or was it rewarding to the author?
None at all, wear earplugs.
I have found that having more free time does not necessarily allow me to be more productive. Productivity, creative pursuits, still require down-time, pauses between creative activities where, like dreaming, you can process and consider your next steps.

Commuting, walking, can be those break times between productive bursts.
The idea that dithering should be used to reduce your image size is a misunderstanding of image compression.

Dithering is a technique which allows you to represent a color image with a very limited palette, in particular a two bit palette. The result is not much like a normal photo, but much better than nothing if you have a machine that can only output a few colors. (You could think of that as a sort of compression where the goal is not to reduce file size, but to reduce the number of colors needed to comprehend the image.)

JPG, WebP etc. are compression techniques designed to reduce the size of a full color images, especially photos. Because they’re specifically designed for photos, they don’t work as well on things that aren’t “photo like.”

Dithered images are very much not like real photos, so it’s not surprising that compression techniques designed for photos don’t work well on dithered images.

(I’m not an expert on image compression, but as an example, I believe JPEG and similar algorithms expect to find large blocks of basically the same color in photos - such as a blue sky - and save space by simplifying that to a few big regions of all one color. The “speckled” appearance caused by dithering actively defeats that particular optimization.)
I'm a little confused as to why someone would use this.

There are a lot of benefits to keeping an entire instance of a service in one DC. BW is plentiful, latency is low, and a whole host of tools are at your disposal. Of course, there are downsides too, mainly latency to users and sensitivity to DC outages.

On the other hand, running things at the edge basically has the opposite tradeoffs. Good latency to users and tolerance to DC outages, but hard to rely on everything "behind" the service to be running in the same cluster. And fewer tools support this deployment environment.

For their past compute/storage offerings, Cloudflare seemed to be pursuing the latter while trying to minimize the downsides. I think this is a good strategy since it offers value without directly competing with the major clouds.

But this seems to combine the downsides of both approaches (localize to a DC and run on the edge) while offering none of the advantages. It seems better (in this case) to use the edge as a proxy and just run the code in the DC.

I'm curious, what's the intent here? To transition people from AWS Lambda to CF Workers?
I'm suspicious of any "mood" discussion that isn't based on brain chemicals and the different receptor sites in the brain. Concepts like "consciousness" are unscientific, subjective and open to such a wide range of interpretations as to be at best useless or worse, damaging to people's perception of their condition and/or progress. How do I know if I'm conscious or at the right level of consciousness or too conscious? One finds the same sort of discussion in religion.
Brain chemicals and receptors are real. Brain chemicals and receptors are real
I don't want to be pedantic here but Facebook was the replacement for Google's Orkut. Orkut started messing up and they lost their leadership position almost overnight.
At least with tulips you could plant or even eat them. If you’re into speculation, pay f*ckin’ attention.
I recall reading about https://www.ceramicspeed.com a few years back, which sounds a bit like what you're describing, but I've no idea how much it has/hasn't taken off.
Sure. Also, Bezos and Musk live in the U.S. That doesn't mean everyone is rich or that even the median has a standard of living comparable to many other first world countries.
Well if the land belongs to the city, they can do with it as they please, including central planning? I'm not saying it is ideal, but I think that is usually how it is done? And if you want to sell land to people to build houses for their family, you better provide them with some incentives, like promising to build schools, sanitation and so on.

It also is not as hopeless as socialism because people are not forced to take the offer. they can negotiate with the city, too. They can even start their own cities.
Iirc ground effect is going to help a lot during such low level flight, in fact there was a plane conceptualized (and trialed) to never be flown out of ground effect. That's why it has such stubby wings, the ground effect itself makes up for the absence of lift area:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lun-class_ekranoplan

That's not to belittle the capabilities of the pilots flying in these takes, it's a very well executed maneuver and certainly not entirely risk free (assurances aside, such stunts have also gone horribly wrong). But it's not quite as hard as you might think because the ground helps to 'push back' in case one of your wings gets too low. The bigger risk is probably from cross wind, which would affect the plan asymmetrically.

Just a note, the Triune brain theory, implied by you saying "lizard brain", is not actually part of scientific consensus. It was incredibly popular (even being cited by Carl Sagan) and still retains a lot of popularity among the public, but it seems it is no longer regarded as factual.

Sure, but that has nothing to do with the original comment which is to say that women don't have to go to work. Nor do men.
the new dislike count will just be spammed "dislike" comments.
Panel three of the comic at the top of the page is either an opinion or an untrue assertion, and the entire situation pretty much hinges on it.

No; because of brigading and pile-on effects, downvotes weren't a quality signal for quality. That was the whole problem.

If we're going to do accounting on an individual level then a tiny fraction of individuals are responsible for flying everyone else (and their luggage and their mail and...) which is super impressive again.
nice to see the comment section is criticising PG for an extremely amateur take on sociology, aesthetics and art. I don't know why, but there's a fairly strong association between being in STEM and thinking that the humanities are easy and obvious and people study them just because they don't understand STEM. Thus we get blog posts like this, about how a reductio ad absurdum thought experiment is enough to resolve a central question of the study of aesthetics.
The Fed is audited [1]. I am personally not a fan of the Fed manipulating the money supply via the FOMC, in particular I consider them to be the main culprit in the 2008 crisis. But it's one thing to disagree with some of the Fed's actions, another to engage in delusions that the Fed is unconsitutitional or it issues "counterfeit" money. The Fed was created by an Act of the Congress. It cannot be any more legal than that. Asking the question "Who owns the Fed" is as meaningless as asking "Who owns the CDC".

The main difference is how we get into the hands of data teams. To use Monte Carlo you’ll need to book a demo with their sales team to see the product, go through an implementation process, and potentially pay as much for a data monitoring tool as you do for your database.

We want every data team to have have observability as soon as they have data in a warehouse, and that means: 1) letting you implement the tool within 10 minutes, without talking to us, 2) providing a free plan and paid plans that make sense for modern data teams, and 3) focusing on being as helpful as we can with as little configuration as possible.

Monte Carlo has built a strong team and has done a great job telling the story of data observability for larger companies. Overall we want to support even the smallest data teams, who we feel are being underserved by other companies in this space.
Honestly, not really. My Linux daily driver PC and Windows gaming PC are about equally reliable. The only recent blip for me has been with my Windows machine randomly crashing due to what turned out to be a bad RAM DIMM module.

My Windows PC actually seems to have video card problems less often, though I don’t really blame Linux here because they both have nVidia cards.

I've wanted to like Sourcehut, was on a paid subscription and had been tracking its progress until I was made aware of this:

https://sourcehut.org/blog/2021-01-13-regarding-ethics/

https://lists.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/sr.ht-discuss/%3CfaFmBHWTBbMkA...

I'm not from the US nor have I even set foot on it therefore I have zero impact on its politics, but I don't see Donald Trump as a "fascist" nor a "racist" or "white nationalist" despite knowing some of those characters do support him. I support a few of the policies he stood for and am not a leftist (I'm probably center-left when it comes to the US political compass but center-right everywhere else). Given what I know about US (tech-centric) politics what I read there boiled down to me as: "if you want to use Sourcehut you better never speak your mind on your political views".

If you read this Drew and you want to clarify Sourcehut's stance on this: Did I overreact, was the blog's wording at the time maybe harsher than intended because of how the situation looked like at the moment, or am I just unwelcome in Sourcehut for stating that I "support" Donald Trump by some interpretation of the word? What about the people who actually supported/support/will support him (including voting), are they welcome in Sourcehut?
At least until the system starts auto-flagging them to be hidden, yes.
Not exactly on topic but the recent Netflix series Maid does an excellent job of making the viewer feel how difficult it can be to pull yourself up by your own bootstraps. I almost hesitate to recommend it because everyone I know is so stressed right now and the series is so anxiety inducing, but if you’re someone like me who thinks rising tension is the heart of good storytelling, I can’t recommend it highly enough. Everything about it is excellent.
Indeed. And our definition of "deserve" is perverse as well. It tends to mean "people like me".
The YouTube channel can arbitrarily delete comments on their video.
> Anything recognizable as a Michelangelo will automatically win just because he's Michelangelo.

It wins because it’s good work, not because it’s Michelangelo. A Michelangelo work will win even when the viewer doesn’t know it’s Michelangelo or even who that is.

That the point: people will appreciate it without having to be told “oh this is the high-status guy, you’re supposed to like it”, “only the high-status people can see the emperor’s clothes”, etc.
That left bank on one of the mowing passes in the YT video is just heart stopping! A few degrees more and ....
Are you saying that consciousness is merely an aggregate form of a complexity?

Yes, essentially that.

You’ve lost me here at ‘self-describe’. Without appealing to any non-physical terms/concepts, what does it mean for something complex to be self-describing?

No, not self-describing, but trying to do that (see the original wording). I was basically portraying all of us in this thread. “A complexity big enough to ask questions and trying to answer them”. But at the same time I don’t deny consciousness from animals who ask easier questions like where’s the food at.

Also, you’re using the word ‘conscious’ here a little different

I see that after your explanations. What I was describing is “smart” to you, not “conscious”. But I think these two are (cor)related because smart means complex, simply by information laws. So I’m aware of true-consciousness which you’re talking about, but am looking at it from a different angle.

as Nagel puts it, there’s something that it’s like to be a bat. In the same sense, there’s something that it’s like to be asleep (whether or not you remember it). So whether you’re less or more conscious in the sense of sleep (or of continual transformation), it’s always conscious in the sense that there’s something that it’s like to be that.

But can’t we extend that to something that it’s like to be a chair? Or air, or empty space. We don’t perceive anything momentarily, it’s a process. And if it is a process, it means its state has to be stored somewhere. Isn’t that our subject? If yes, then you can gradually reduce the processing capabilities and state volumes until both become zero.
This is a weirdly polarizing topic. I don't think I've ever clicked on the dislike button, personally (but I do click on the like button, occasionally).

It would seem like people use the dislike button to signal that "I don't agree with the premise of the video" as much as it's to signal that "this video is actually crap".
Same as with Reddit downvotes - it shouldn't be used for downvoting legit content that you don't agree with but.. we've all seen how that works in practice.

IMO the dislike count is useless for filtering out "bad" content - you have no idea if it's really a crap video or if it was just brigaded by people who live by "alternative facts" and don't like the specific video due to it having _actual_ facts (or.. politics). Other than certain genres.. like children videos/animations.. there's no political agenda there and dislikes are a genuine "this video is crap" indicator :)

Edit: as is rightfully pointed out in replies, tutorial/how-to videos are other some of the other genres of videos where the dislike count is actually really useful. I totally agree with this - I just gave one example of children videos but there are definitely others as well.

However I still think that in the bigger picture, these genres are popular amongst us, HN folks, but by far the most YT video views come from genres where dislikes are an indication of "I don't agree with you / I don't like this genre of music / I have a different political view / I'm too old to understand this crap that kids are consuming these days / etc". I hope I'm wrong though :)
I don't think you know it very well.

You need to add the correct attributes to your class for form validation ( eg. Required / StringLength )

Then scaffold a MVC controller or an api controller ( It will add the class to your DbContext)

Then add-migration / update-database for your migration.

And it's done
In regards to, "We realised the mistake on the morning of the keynote (November 3rd) and at that point it was too late to change it." Confused. While can understand not being able to change a number in a presentation last minute, the person reading/presenting could certainly just mention on that slide, or that number is actually x. Mistakes happen, but since they realized it before presenting why wouldn't they mention that rather than providing the knowingly wrong info?
> - They fall out of my ears

And contrariwise, while for day-to-day wear I love my bluetooth over-ear headphones, my 'plane earphones' are wired Bose QC25s. Partly because in-ear provides superior noise canceling, partly because when I'm on that 5:30am flight I can lean my head against the side of the plane without upsetting my headphones, but mostly because if I drop my phone I can fish it back up with the headphone cable. :D

Awesome, didn't know they support the additional plugins.
I think the key part is needing that understanding that it tells you how fast Netflix will perform, which is likely not the same as general internet performance. That can be useful to compare with tools like https://speed.cloudflare.com/ to see how your ISP's peering holds up but it's definitely an important nuance.
This reminds me of the requirement in the 2012 infrastructure bill that all electronic toll collection systems must be interoperable by 2016.

It's 2021, further from the deadline than the deadline itself was from the signing of the legislation, and the only major movement in this regard is that a few more systems have joined EZPass (North Carolina, Florida, and Minnesota), and that North Carolina, Georgia and Florida created their own interoperability set.
I use it prolifically to mark videos that are hard to watch or lack the content they claim they contain. I consider it a noble service to my peers.
>The free market approach is to not interfere in what people can build in their properties.

Unless it affects other properties in real ways - not with abstract "property value decrease". If someone emits toxic fumes, that constitutes real damage.
Also the times are relatively close.
Not really. Pages are about virtual memory and not about physical memory.

In practice, the only thing DDR4 banks do is make prefetching an important strategy, thus making sequential performance for DDR4 incredible.

A fact already known to high performance programmers. Accessing byte 65 after byte 64 is much more efficient than accessing byte 9001.

Dithering isn't a compression algorithm[1]. It's an algorithm that adds noise to effectively increase bitdepth when downsampling.

In the case of images, it makes color-reduced versions not look terrible.

Adding noise is almost always a bad thing for compression. The undithered images would compress much better.

My bad, apparently argon is also used as a fire suppressant.
All sounds great! I'll share it with my team.

My plan was to monitor the postgres database in the staging environment, so we can be alerted to schema changes before they are released into production (and hopefully stop the production deploy).

I have a goal of moving this even further upstream into the CI build for the source application itself (Ruby on Rails in this case), so that the application's test suite will fail a developer introduces a breaking schema change. Note: this is a pretty tricky problem to solve without a) the tests being way too brittle OR b) super slow end to end tests. I have some goals of introducing which is a mashup of: Spectacles [1], Pact [2], and dbt models [3].

I have similar issues. I couldn't get to the billing site for BCBSIL from any browser on my system for the past year.

Unfortunately there are no decent alternatives for a PPO, where I am. If it's browser issues vs an HMO, I'll begrudgingly accept developer incompetence.

Parent talks about the „Lightning Network“

I was not talking about the Lightning Network in particular. The LN is a system that does settlement on the Bitcoin blockchain.

So is the "BMW and its suppliers" network I imagined. But this network is simpler and more customized to the needs of this particular use case.

Of course using the LN would be a viable alternative to a custom solution.
Most of the community likely watches videos through Reddit or FB which have built-in downvotes so they won't even notice.

I'm guessing YouTube regrets putting comments and votes on its videos in the first place. Embedding YT videos still gives YT views (unlike, say, reposting a gif to 4chan) and I would think that they'd prefer FB/Reddit would just eat the controversy over curating comments and votes instead of having to subsidize it themselves.
yes, they removed the dislike count to shield creators from "attacks" to improve their mental health, so the only one you can see it now is the creator. YT is either very stupid or their lying about their motive. I wonder which one is it.
I also spent many years working with C# before working with Python professionally. I've also spent a lot of time with Lua, though not for paid work.

The second point matches my experience with dynamic languages as well. To use them well really takes a certain level of discipline, but it pays off. It's why I'm a bit skeptical of Python as a beginners language, which it sometimes has been touted as.

About large projects, presently I am working with Python on a somewhat large project (currently 53k sloc, I guess large is relative). Its been great, though we are pretty strict about almost absolutely everything being type-hinted.
>outsourcing of low wage jobs to countries with even more labor surplus,

I have to admit, globalization has winners and losers. The nation as a whole is winning but a small portion is losing out and the worst part is that we blame them for that.
You vote with your money. I went through a ton of "gamer" headphones in my teens, all of them meeting their doom because of the crappy cables. Then spent a bit more on ones with a replaceable cable that those lasted until the plastic broke.
Then I spent decent money on some sennheisers and they've been going strong for like 6 years with so signs of slowing down, too bad they sold off their consumer product division not that long ago.
I've used YouTube daily for years and always found it quite useful to see dislike bar, because it's rare to see more than 10% dislikes on a video, so whenever that happens, you know that something's wrong.
Sorry I don't understand what you are saying. What new data are you referring to? How does it contradict the original playbook? What is the thing we are doing differently?

Bear in mind that people reading this comment thread probably have a very different context from which they understand the current situation than you do. I'm a bit lost with where you are going here.
A seat belt unbuckled won't prohibit the car from driving. It'll just constantly beep and annoy the hell out of you.
All of the headlines I've seen on this are misleading. It's not actually a lockdown for unvaccinated people, it's a lockdown for unvaccinated and never infected people (see https://www.austria.info/en/service-and-facts/coronavirus-in...).

I think this would surprise a lot of Americans at least, since their government pretends that prior infections don't matter.

That said, it does send a chill up my spine to read about a country locking down a specific subset of their population.
