That's why Google offers free "certificates" and "Courses" in adwords, analytics and using their services.

It's more because small businesses do not know how to market or cater online, still. Sure there are a handful of successful ecomm shops that work in niche markets that work on word of mouth, and then there's the enmasse scale giants like Amazon that have their own marking departments.

Go is a very different language than rust. Go has automatic memory management & garbage collection. This automatically disqualifies it from being used in many scenarios that rust is designed to support, like embedded systems.

Go’s runtime model just makes stuff like this vastly simpler. Rust can’t impose the same kind of runtime model that go has.

> I love Cloudflare

Just a perspective from a user point of view, but I hate Cloudflare. All I remember about them is staring at their DDoS protection page for multiple seconds before a site's content loads.

EDIT: I'd argue that DDoS protection should be provided on the network level, not on the application level by some Javascript on a page. So yes I do hate Cloudflare for providing that service.

Another benefit: it allows fixing and patching dependencies without having to wait for an upstream release.

I know of repository-pinned dependencies [1], but those may be hard to keep track of, especially for patches on unmaintained software. They are akin to git submodules, which are a pain to work with.

The one in work yes, but for internal network, as we are not exposed to internet. But to be honest, we are probably one of few companies that make priority that there is always electricity and internet in the office (with UPS, electricity generator, multiple internet providers).

No idea what are the standards for other companies.

>> the Delta variant still accounts for 99.9% of new COVID cases in the United States

ourworldindata.org reports, as-of 6 December 2021, the share of analyzed sequences in the last two weeks that correspond to omicron is 14% in the USA and 10% in Canada. (https://ourworldindata.org/coronavirus)

Did Dr Wallensky give any hints about the source of her statistic, if it was based on analyzed sequences, or over what observation period it was derived?

Why the big difference in estimates of the present significance of omicron?

Yes! Looking for gene target failure rates is a valid, albeit indirect way of quantifying variants. You will only be able to detect variants this way if the variant contains a mutation within the primer binding region and if that mutation happens to affect primer binding causing signal drop-off (a lot of 'ifs'!).

Some labs quantify amount of variant by running multiple RT-qPCRs using primers specific to mutations unique to each variant (see https://www.promega.com/products/pcr/qpcr-and-rt-qpcr/sars-c...).

Both of these strategies leave much to be desired. For one, it's terribly costly to run multiple RT-qPCRs in parallel. It also fails to account for any novel variants whose mutations lie outside your primer binding region(s).

From what I've gathered, RT-qPCR is useful for quantifying what is already known while sequencing helps you discover what is unknown.

I guess if you had unlimited time and money you could order new primer/probe sets from IDT every time a new variant comes into play...kind of like a home-brew microarray? Honestly, I'm kind of surprised there aren't SARS-CoV-2 variant microarrays on the market yet...we're all just spitballing here.

> Something like NFTs, which are totally worthless digital files in real life, are marketed as "valuable goods", and it's literally insanity...

I agree that marketing NFT's as investments is outright insane, but a NFT is not just a "file". It is simply a certified, non-forgeable stake in a crowdfunded endeavor. NFT's can thus be used to promote openness, no different than any other form of patronage.
Why is that better? It sounds like a contract for no purpose, much like the previous companies deals that are the issue of comments upthread.

TIL about logwatch. Seems handy as I run a couple of VPSs.
I think it depends a lot on the radio stations that happen(ed) to be available in your listening area. When I was living in Tampa ~30 years ago, there were certainly a lot of "hot hits" type stations, but there was a great commercial AOR station I listened to more often -- and a few years later I discovered WMNF, an eclectic non-commercial community station that played virtually anything depending on which show you found.

Now, of course, my "listening area" is the whole internet. KCSN in Los Angeles is a rock-focused public radio station; KCSM up in San Mateo is a terrific Jazz station; Great Big Radio is an internet-only station that's technically oldies, but covers everything from the 1960s through the 2000s and likes to get into deep cuts. I do subscribe to a streaming music service and use it pretty frequently, but I suspect I find just as much new music through internet radio as I do through "discovery." (Although both curated playlists and algorithmic recommendations surface stuff I find interesting occasionally.)

I wonder how they manage to keep the FP64 units busy. Seems this is an HPC product, but many HPC apps are memory bound. So to improve FP64 perf by 4 one might need to improve DRAM bandwidth by 8-16x. Otherwise the units would only be stalled waiting for memory.

But it seems they did not improve bandwidth by much?
Because Jupyter originates from the IPython project, hence the ipynb (IPython NoteBook) extension.

IPython initially was a monolithic project that offered the notebook interface and the Python kernel in a single release.
When the notebook interface was moved to a separate project, I suppose they kept the file extension for backwards compatibility.
Hacker News (2011): Online Cash Bitcoin Could Challenge Governments, Banks
Hi, fantastic product! It seems that you also do video transcoding - how are the limits there? I can't find explicit info alluding to video in your pricing page.

Thanks!
Although not a Kalman filter, the "three cornered hat" thing sailors do to apply three distinct points of measurement to some reference and then using the triangle that forms as a limit to uncertainty is not dissimilar in intent and outcome.

Perhaps the main quality a kalman filter brings is the repeated application. If you imagine 20 sailors all doing the three cornered hat and another 20 doing a log line to assess speed, and a third doing some kind of ded reckoning.. a Kalman filter is what you apply over all of them to reduce it to your best most certain position and speed and heading?

I do wonder if false positives can drive in reverse to higher levels of uncertainty, not refinement. So a spurious echo on radar might contradict two other inputs.

The two overlapping coloured Gaussian clouds and the "aha" moment in the common region was good. It reinforces the idea of how two different measurements with their own uncertainty can combine to give a better certainty of the region of interest.

Were these not also used in analogue circuits to do feedback for missile tracking from radar/telemetry?

I struggle with algebras and formulae. The graphics help imbue some understanding.

Is that clear from the text? Gurgeh supposedly perceives the result of the last game before the AIs so we’re led to believe he’s seeing deeper. Obviously he could have been wrong and still won. The AIs lied to and manipulated him the entire time so it’s hard to know, but it would seem a very odd weakness for an AI to have. I think Banks pretty quickly recanted on the subject of the Culture’s ‘referrers’ but I don’t think he plays a full Mind, so it’s not a clear cut conversation.

Hi, thanks a lot. To answer your questions:

> You're looking for an x86 (Intel/AMD) OS.

Correct.

> 32-bit or 64-bit?

64-bit - assume a relatively modern laptop as a target platform. But 32-bit is fine. I'm sure I wouldn't need >4GB of RAM for this sort of purpose.

> Windows compatible or not?

Nah, I'm thinking super simple. Like a web browser would be a luxury. I only mentioned Windows 3.1 as an example of an OS that's very simple and fast.

> ReactOS

I've seen it mentioned over the years, but never looked much into it. I'll have a better look.

> You might try writing a program to implement GUI features on that non-GUI OS... it would be a great programming exercise!

I am a programmer, though mostly in games. In this case I'd prefer something that works out of the box, though I do like your suggestion - I just already have a lot of projects and not a lot of free time.

Searching for GUIs for non-GUI operating systems is an interesting idea as well. Someone else here also linked a big list of custom "hobby" operating systems[1], many of which are on GitHub. Running an OS - or a GUI for an OS - that's built by some random user on GitHub may not be the most sane option (I already see that a fair amount were last updated years ago) but I'm going to have a look around anyway.

Sad to see flexVolume deprecated. CSI is a more powerful interface and I knew this was coming, but the simplicity of the flexVolume exec model for node-local volumes was an amazing feature.

With very little effort, you could use them to create volumes managed by any binary or script: for example, a volume that fetches internal build artifacts or a volume similar to configmaps that pulls from external data sources on pod startup.

The new CSI interface requires operating a GRPC server on a local unix socket. It'd have been great if it were at least HTTP+JSON. GRPC really increases the barrier to entry in all languages that can't use the golang CSI driver libraries and it's hard to see the advantages for a low volume API on localhost.

Ask HN: What kind of meetings do you need to run and with what purpose?
I don't like to participate in meetings that are not prepared, where we spend time discussing the purpose of the meeting or worse where I cannot actually contribute.

So to fix this, I took over in multiple places the role of a meeting organiser where I define the purpose, who should be in, do prep work for the meeting, think about who should be there, have a clear agenda and timing and many other sides.

I realised recently that I somehow gained a lot of experience in organising some meetings for various purposes.

Here are some examples:

- process improvements

- project management improvements

- ideation

- customer feedback

- improving code reviews

- forming a new team

- prioritising work

- review requirements

...

And I was thinking if there is a need or case for writing about how to do good/effective meetings.

So I am curious what kind of meetings do you need to run in your daily jobs/work?

This truly doesn't work if you grew up going to an Orthodox Church as I did. I knew it was weird compared to, well, everyone else's churches and I absolutely hated that Easter was celebrated on a different day than everyone else. I hated it more when a teacher took me out in the hall to question me about it before concluding that I was too young to understand. (I was 9 and the teacher assumed I was Muslim). I do suggest the Easter service for an experience, though: It'll start late Saturday and into Sunday morning. It will be fairly crowded.

The churches can be difficult to find as well, at least in the US: It isn't unheard of for folks to travel an hour or so to their church of choice.

If you can't get to that, a gnostic mass will probably give a similar experience. It is, of course, Much more occult-theme religion, but it will keep some of the charm (possibly mixed with a bit of catholocism)
CDN's should eat most of Cloudinary's market…

Cloudinary has two parts
- a Digital Asset Manager for storing content
- an service for optimising / resising images (and video) that then uses Cloudflare, Fastly etc as a CDN

Akamai, Cloudflare, Fastly all already have image optimisation services, so if you're using them already why use Cloudinary.

The DAM piece is more of an issue as most CMSs aren't great on the asset management front but looking at commerce etc platforms they're getting better

What are peoples’ thoughts on industry data models? These feel like integration by a different name. They often come with integration tooling as well as the core logical/physical model. That tooling is often “config not code”. And the database(s) which instantiate that data model act as the integration nexus for an organization, like a passive ESB. They become the architectural center of the organization, and the primary concern is conformance to the model (with the aim of achieving some future reusability benefit) rather than creating clean interfaces over capabilities.

Seems like all the same concerns from the article apply.
