The New 3DS has blown me away by how powerful it is. Been playing full-speed PS1 games via RetroArch on it has been super neat. N64 is sadly hit-and-miss, but that's honestly fine as most of the games I want to play have NDS or 3DS ports already. Played through Metal Gear Solid and Parasite Eve entirely on my 3DS!

The injectors for the Virtual Console are super great too; GB, GBA and Sega have worked flawlessly (including saving, for the GB/GBA). It can be a little finicky to get the right settings for injection (around the battery/nand emulation), but once you get the process down pat it's straightforward.

The coolest part was that the second hand one I bought still had the previous users Nintendo Account setup on it, but the homebrew/custom firmware system let me erase it without wiping the system.

They're brilliant little systems, I'm very impressed.

Video presentation of The Danish Morel Project.

The morel mushroom is known as one of the world’s most coveted edible mushrooms. During the last hundred years, it has only with limited success been possible to cultivate black morel mushrooms under controlled, indoor conditions. We are therefore very pleased to announce that we finally, after many years of intensive research at the Royal Veterinary and Agricultural University and the University of Copenhagen, have invented and developed a method for controlled indoor cultivation of black morel mushrooms all-year-round under well defined conditions in climate chambers. We are able to produce 4.2 kilos of first-class morels per square metre within a total cultivation period of 22 weeks, corresponding to an annual production of 10 kilos of morels per square metre. The method is so well developed, that a commercial production can be started after an appropriate automation of the cultivation process.

What do you think about these direct linear actuators [0]? They seem super simple, and like a closer match to the way biological muscles work. Is there some reason why rotary (?) actuators are the default choice for robotics?

Edit, also what happened that made electric motors so much better since the 90’s? It’s not like we made groundbreaking discoveries about magnetism, right?

That's not necessarily true. Industrial scale foraging of mushrooms isn't great for forests, so relieving some of that pressure is a good, pro-habitat thing imo.

VMS is used across submarine designs spanning all the way back to 2005.

Currently there are 67 submarines actively part of the battle fleet (https://www.nvr.navy.mil/NVRSHIPS/FLEETSIZE.HTML), let's say $3B per submarine, that's $200 *BILLION* dollars of capital expenditure. And it should go without saying that the reason we spend money on submarines is because the missions they go on are that important to the national defense.

I think Google has spent less than $200 billion on Google Maps.

Between the capital expense and the mission to perform, and the repeated underground collisions, I don't think it's too much to ask that the Navy apply some usability design to support one of the most critical functions of any warship, safe navigation.

Because I've used VMS myself and I can attest to everything the author of this article mentions, and it's far from being just a resourcing question: it's inherent to the way the Navy designs, implements and acquires software-based systems. This includes the stuff you mention about hardware (which, oddly, the Navy submarine force had managed to subvert with ARCI sonars, which use commercial servers and a ton of additional spares to meet operational availability needs).
can you elaborate on this? can't they collect ratings for internal use and not surface them, if that's the issue?

The package diverted? So you think that, instead of the simple story of the tech who already had the phone accessing the images, someone managed to figure out which package was theirs and then also somehow divert it?

Trivially solved with hashing or signing. Copyright as a legal mechanism is unnecessary to ensure 'legitimacy'.

Copyright is useful for preventing others from using characters you created, but frankly I don't see the value in that. Moreover, it isn't even effective as fan fiction is incredibly common anyway. We can see how this would work with the proliferation of open source and the commonness of forks. It really isn't a big deal.

To be precise, authoritarian designers who must feel some sort of pleasure in forcing everyone to conform to their ideas. There were certainly designers involved in Windows UI since the beginning, but their purpose seemed to be more of deciding on good defaults (and allowing those who didn't like them for whatever reason to change things like fonts, sizes, colours, etc.)

I recall some of the marketing wankery around Windows 11 advertised it as being the "most diverse and inclusive". Maybe the designers were.
Two sides of the same coin - building resilience and independence, having a "plan B" is effectively betting against everything working fine, risks not materializing and not needing any alternatives; no matter if it's about environment, software or politics.

However, I do consider it a good and prudent thing to "bet against" things that are crucial to us. Whenever there's a major threat, it's wise to also prepare to mitigate its consequences, since saying "we must prevent this" "we need to achieve X or the bad thing will happen" is, even if very true, often not sufficient, and betting everything on the expected success would be just naive wishful thinking, we definitely have to hedge our bets for everything that matters.

I was wondering that too for EKS and saw on the EKS Release Calendar [1] that 1.22 isn’t even targeted until March 2022. So I’m assuming 1.23 isn’t available for EKS until at least the summer.

EKS releases were starting to almost catch up with upstream, but I wonder if the version churn and support may have been too much for AWS customers to keep up with and they slowed it down some.

Yes, 2.5 million cubic meters of unreinforced concrete. According to Wikipedia they took some core samples in 1995 and found the concrete to be stronger than when it was poured. "Last more or less forever" sounds about right.

There is some steel involved, in embedded cooling pipes that were used to speed the concrete curing process and later filled with grout.

I said "IF" America as a country has to deny, it make sense. Looking at the reaction, I don't think everyone read my comment fully cos they got triggered? Cos this is bad. They deny access to American people whose tax money paid for this. That in itself makes this argument of the company moot. This is nothing but companies making profit out of tax payers money.

Exactly how do the rich get richer in denominations of bitcoin? If I hold onto bitcoin in my wallet does it multiply the number of bitcoin I have? No it does not. So how do the rich get richer in a bitcoin ecosystem? To be honest I don't know.

Conversely, if I'm a USD bank, how do I multiply the number of USD I hold? Simple, lend out the amount I own to multiple entities multiple times. By holding more money, I can hold even more money of the exact same thing.

Clouds aren't magic. They require a certain amount of operational confidence in order to understand that, yes, an entire region can fall out from under you at any time and it's your responsibility to detect and deploy into an unaffected region if possible.

edit: Generally, one entire region will not fail. However, core services like STS rely on us-east-1 so it's particularly susceptible to disruption.
Region outages happen, which is why the guidance is to build in multiple regions, but even Amazon sometimes doesn't take their own advice. Sometimes the reason is good, sometimes it isn't.
I agree with everything you said but this:

>Even a conservative projection of the trend has us at a shrinking global population in a few decades.

I have not seen this in any of the projections.
We are past peak fertility, and past peak births, but total population has a long lag time, as lifespans are long and increasing.

The projections I have seen show total population peaking ~2100.

How Can Something Be Racist but Not Racist at the Same Time?
Same reason NASA built the Space Shuttle Endeavour with spare parts left over from the others, instead of building it from scratch. People move on with their lives, and the facilities that manufacture these things do too. Assuming everything was well documented it should be possible to recreate the tooling and train new people, but that's much more expensive than building two in the first place.
Unless you're running something that's mostly images, I'm a fan of pregenerating variants of images for static sites since storage has become so cheap. However, I think the best way of doing that is to actually generate the variants as part of the build step, the way that Next or Gatsby can. Hugo also seems to have some support for image processing [1] so it may be possible to put something together using only Hugo. It increases build time, but a build cache should fix that.

Ive replaced Ubiquiti Unifi routers with Mikrotik RB5009's and its resultant bang for buck is impressive. The Ubiquiti Edge series is capable too but hasnt had feature updates in months. Ubiquiti product direction currently feels like a massive cluster f*k and isnt improving.

Some nice features you may not realise exist on RouterOS 7 are built-in support for Wireguard VPN and ZeroTier client support.

I had a client a few years ago who was using another service for image hosting, and they were getting charged through the nose for it. This is before cloudflare had their own image CDN style service. The client's app made heavy use of URL based image transforms. And we didn't want to lose that - so it seemed like they were a little stuck.

The website itself was already using cloudflare's CDN. So I added a simple cloudflare URL rule to redirect all requests hitting /images/XXX to the 3rd party image hosting service. Within a month our client's image hosting bill dropped from $~10k/month down to about $90/month, which I felt great about.

I did made one terrible mistake though - I forgot to tell our client about the configuration change. So cue a monday morning panicked phone call from our client when they got their bill, asking what on earth was happening that caused all their web traffic to disappear overnight. They thought (based on the bill) that their website must be broken and they were freaking out about it! Oops!

I think they mean it should show up as part of the error message provided by the OS. "Error, the cable you used to connect <human-readable monitor identifier> doesn't support <thing needed>." "Error, the dock <human-readable dock identifier> doesn't support <thing needed>, which <human-readable peripheral identifier> requires." Identify the limiting component, explain the what the new cable/dock/hub/etc needs to support so the customer has an actual chance of getting things to work!

Hi Nition!

What a great question! (Everybody who's reading this, please upvote!)

OK, so you've got all kinds of choices in this area!

First off, I assume, because/ you mentioned FreeDOS/TempleOS/Windows 3.1 -- that you're looking for an x86 (Intel/AMD) OS.

First question: 32-bit or 64-bit?

32-bit OS's will run on older hardware (20+ years old!) -- but (in general!) you'll be limited to a max of 4GB of usable RAM...

64-bit will, of course, run on newer hardware, but in general will be a little bit more complex than an old, Open Source, "barebones" OS'es...

Second question: Windows compatible or not?

You want the OS to be Open Source right? That would rule out any version of Windows -- but that wouldn't rule out ReactOS (https://reactos.org/). Many Windows programs will run on ReactOS -- but some might not, and/or have interesting bugs -- so "buyer beware" as they say.

But, in terms of overall lines of code and complexity, ReactOS is probably the least simple Free and Open Source OS'es, next to Linux itself...

You might be actually looking for two things, or rather three:

1) Simple Open Source Non-Graphical Command-Line OS.

2) Open Source Graphical Window Manager / Windowing System For That OS.

3) Example Source Code (for that OS and Window Manager) which implements a text editor, an audio player app, a calculator, etc.

Also, keep in mind that unless #2 is written to be as simple as possible (and thus uses only simple monospaced bitmap fonts) -- then you're also going to be dealing with a font rendering subsystem -- which is going to add to the complexity and thus learning curve -- of the codebase...

If you've got an underlying Non-Graphical OS like FreeDOS (or any other) -- if that OS does not prohibit direct hardware access to the video card, OR if the underlying OS can specifically be requested to give direct hardware access to a program it runs -- then you might try writing a program to implement GUI features on that non-GUI OS... it would be a great programming exercise!

But if you don't, I'm sure such GUI's (ideally, simple ones, not X/Windows AKA X11, nor the Windowing code in Windows/ReactOS) must exist -- just search GitHub...

Maybe that's what to do...

Search GitHub for GUI's or simple OS'es that implement GUI's... find one that is as simple/understandable as you desire -- and that's your go-to OS for this!

Anyway, Good Luck in your quest!

If this outage isn’t the catalyst to get the Amazon side of the house to finally move out of US-east, I don’t know what will be. Or at least be multi-region.

Although the cost to make all of Amazon commerce, logistics, and digital truly multi-region is probably an order of magnitude more than the impact of this outage.
Not sure that your link is an answer to my comment.

Whatever the case may be, I can take a single VPS and multi-host a bunch of domains, each with it's own Wordpress installation, DB, etc. Virtual hosts makes this possible. It's stupid simple. Getting a single Django application running under a single domain on a VPS is a nightmare. Particularly when you consider everything you have to do to migrate from the development environment to production.

This is why we do not do any Django development using the standard installation and go right wo running it just like production on either virtual machines or a dedicated on-premises Linux server. The development environment is as close to an exact match as the production environment. No SQLite, no runserver, no nonsense with static files, etc. This is what I think the Django project needs to really think about working on. There is no reason to have a crippled development environment at all. The base installation ought to be setup to migrate to a standard Linux host (not something purpose-built like Heroku) without much friction. If you are doing a more complex site with multiple servers, load balancing, etc., you are on your own.

I truly think adoption would be far greater if the deployment experience was sensible. I have talked to people who absolutely gave up on Django because going from development to production was a nightmare without spending money on far more expensive servers and services they should. This is an application (Django) that should easily run on any Linux server. The fact that companies were created to facilitate deployment says it all.
if you are that good, then why are you wasting your time with front ends? Go into databases. You're apparently already starting to age out of the young and dumb and works overtime flotsam.
It's a common DoS vector. If you limit the allowed sizes, you can predict your min/max for compute, storage, cache, networking, etc. If you allow arbitrary resizing, the client can iterate indefinitely, doing things like "give me 1x1, now 1x2, now 2x2", which will tie up your compute resources, eat up storage, push legitimate data out of your cache, etc.
You're completely free to decide you're unbothered by it in your own particular application, but it would be unhelpfully misleading to other readers to say that a 10^6 performance difference is "negligible", or that they should expect the particle filter to give better results.

Particle filter is very cool, and it's great that someone mentioned it because it's quite useful in the right circumstances. But it is not a panacea (nor is the Kalman filter), and we don't need to misrepresent it in order to advocate for it in cases where it's applicable.

Multi-AZ deployment and multi-region failover is considered best practice.
AZs are physically located near each other, usually within a small enough radius that they could be all impacted by the same natural disaster. In some cloud providers and regions, AZs are simply different parts of the same building (IIRC one of the Japan regions of Azure was essentially this, but don't quote me). And evidently, the share some infrastructure.

At a previous job where we needed to always be up, our disaster recovery plan assumed that the us-east-1 site had been hit by a meteor (not literally, but that's how we explained it to each other to put ourselves in the mindset.)
I consider the reporters as just a part of a local newspaper (IMHO less than half of people working on it), so them moving to substack and abandoning all the non-local-news functions of the local newspaper (syndicated 'external' news, advertising, printing, etc) results in a substantially different kind of news organization than the local newspaper was, not just the same thing on a different distribution channel. It would effectively mean the death of the local news company as a concept, as the replacement is something quite different with a rather different business model, incentives and thus perspective.
