I don't think remote college is a failure at all. Remote school for 6 year-olds is, though.
Both the battery packs, as well as the sockets, as well as some lights, for the Ryobi 18V one+ system are made by third parties now. I've built a few projects that use the 3p one+ sockets, wired up to buck converters to give 12V, using 3P 9AH batteries. As sibling commenters pointed out, there are also adapters to/from most common tool batteries around.
You are correct; I too hastily took the "payload" in the tar-split.json.gz to be the binary itself, but it's something else.

Nevertheles, an archive format other than .tar.gz could be transferred more efficiently given a previous version of the same image. Or, even .tar.gz could be transferred more efficiently if both ends extract the file first, and if there is a need to preseve sha256, then that needs a bit more work.
That sure sounds like fraud and lying to customs officers, a bit like saying you import cheap Chinese tablets and instead you import WACOM cintiq drawing tablets worth thousands
> nobody cares that an employee doesn't learn, it is irrelevant.

I have learned shitloads as an employee, and that's why I get paid more now than ten years ago. If you aren't learning at work, something is wrong.
Everything about that article, including the last paragraph, makes me want to try this thing.
Caffeine is one of the few stimulants that seems to be beneficial to the human health. Moderate use is linked to a lower likelihood of type 2 diabetes, heart disease, liver and endometrial cancers, Parkinson’s disease... Certainly more beneficial than smoking cannabis (in most cases together with tobacco). Damage to the lungs is one of the first thing that comes to my mind.
Absolutely. What ever I have read or heard about those drugs (most of it from peoples experiences on reddit and all), it is clear to me that they don't actually solve any issue, and simply make the mind numb. In some cases, perhaps that is required.

But why is it that the worlds richest country need to keep 50% of its population on drugs?

That is a societal flaw, and worryingly a self sustaining one at that.

I also attribute it to the hyper-velocity lifestyles, lack of stable marriages, excessive consumption of media in general and social media in particular. And most importantly, a materialistic point of view where the whole purpose of life is for pleasure, partying and enjoyment.

Personal anectode but might help:

I also have anxiety and panic attacks triggered. Though when it's over and I can think calmly, I ALWAYS see those panic attacks are my subconscious' way of telling something wrong with my life/where I'm going etc. and I need to fix things. When everything's on track I never have panic attacks regardless of the amount of substance.

In that sense it's actually telling me, in a brutal yet true way, to fix my life, by facing me feelings or thoughts that I've been subconsciously running away from.

Might not be the same case with you, surely, but this is my 2 cents.
> If you are looking to keep your smartphone life, don’t get this phone, or any dumb phone for that matter. Instead, get a budget Android device.

This is exactly what I did after trying a dumb phone. I have to say asisd from all the diversions, smarthpones do bring very nice features. I just wouldnt want to miss E-Banking, 2FA for some of my apps and so on.
This is why I bought a Wiko Y81 for 60$ and I continue to love this phone. It is so painfully slow that it truly allowed me to get my social media habbits off. However while being slow it is still a solid phone, reading, listening to spotify and doing emergency stuff (like retrieving a lost boarding card from google drive) works fine.
What's even better is due to its weak screen the battery lasts forever! It's so refreshing to just leave the house with 15% battery for the day and still getting through.
For thousands of years humans routinely (e.g with every meal, even children) consumed low alcohol beer/wine), because it could be safely stored for extended periods, unlike water.

I wonder if this includes using inferences to indirectly target these categories, albeit with somewhat less accuracy but certainly more than non-targeted?
> Looking at it the other way, Typescript is really lacking nominal typing and the safety and simplicity that it provides.

True.

> Structural typing isn't needed if you don't care about Javascript / dynamically typed coding patterns.

I think this idea of yours is limited to what you do with Scala. Ofc, in Javascript you don't need it, because types don't restrict you. But do datascience or dataengineering and it becomes painful quickly - look at spark frameless for example. It needs a lot of typelevel machinery to make it work. "easy" is different.
Is there a way to install an OTP auth app on a Nokia feature phone?
You can't download from the Apple App Store without an Apple ID, which requires a phone number. I refuse to use an Apple ID for anything these days, so App Store apps are right out for me.
A really useful feature on MacOS is that you can scroll a window that doesn't have focus by hovering over it and using a mouse with a scroll wheel/surface.

MS - and especially Windows - has always seemed to me a company that takes smart people and makes them do really stupid things. The product culture seems incredibly broken.

It's never been great. But in the past usable versions like XP and 7 would fall out. 8 set a new baseline for idiocracy and user hostility. I see no evidence things have gotten better since.

I suppose - as per earlier comments here - if the culture is top-down design by people who don't even use the product and are trying to Make a Statement for career reasons, the future isn't encouraging.

The real question is what kind of management allows something so obviously nonsensical to happen.
"The whole population does not need to get vaccinated. Not everyone's life is under threat. Not even close."

That's a sweeping statement, so where's your evidence - as most of the world disagrees with you - so too does the science.

Presumably, you also disagree with the health experts at the WHO? When WHO experts say that "you can't boost your way out of the pandemic" they are NOT saying "you don't need to get vaccinated." They are quite separate issues altogether.

"Novak's life is not under threat from the virus. He chose not to be vaccinated for himself. Only a fool would get vaccinated for reasons of "perception."

What gives you special insight to say that if he got vaccinated then it would be only for a 'perceived' advantage? I cannot see how you would know this - even Djokovic's Dr wouldn't know that without extensive tests. If such tests were done then he has never offered them as evidence or for public examination.

Whether your assertion is correct or not is immaterial. The real issue is that Djokovic is a leading world figure in sport so he should have lead by example but he failed to do so (for many decades, as long as we've had mass media or even longer, it's been customary and even expected of athelets to set a good example to their followers).

...And the example he should have set would have been to get vaccinated whether he needed to do so or not - as that's what celebrities do! After all, the very vast majority of the world's population accepts vaccination as a normal medical procedure - one from which everyone benefits.

As a celebrity, Djokovic failed to live up to the time-honored conventions expected of him. The fact that he deliberately bucked the system and disobeyed convention has to be one of the worst PR exercises in the history of sport for many decades and he's now paying a very heavy penalty for doing so. It's damn shame his advisors hadn't been more politically astute otherwise it's likely that it wouldn't have ended up so badly for him.

(Really I don't particularly care if Djokovic gets vaccinated or not, I'm simlpy just stating what has actually happened to him.)

"Everything else you said is irrelevant"

I'm only an unknown HN poster so what I say hardly matters in the grand scheme of things. The fact is that much bigger players with real influence think very similarly to me and to millions of others - and in the end that's all that really matterd. They have real teeth with real biting power which I don't. What's more they've shown that they are capable of exercising that power and that they've actually done so.

I've a sneaking suspicion that Djokovic was gambling that they wouldn't given his celebrity status, unfortunately for him it's a gamble he's lost.

Blaming me for what has happened won't change anything.

The patent system offers a temporary monopoly on the tech to the patent holder. This is not the case here.
> most crucially essentially none of the designers use Windows. [...] the newest designer (because they seem to rotate every 6-18 months) with a shiny Macbook [...]

This is crazy. Essentially you get no product memory and no incentive at designing a good product because the designers won't experience the negative effects of their actions.

If this is by design, tell me what Microsoft management wants Windows to go to.

A saner dynamic would be

OK it's shit let's try this other one.
Does anyone have any examples of a sort of self hosted way to do functions as a service with web assembly? I know you can do web assembly FaaS with Cloudflare Workers (https://github.com/cloudflare/workers-rs among others) but am unaware of a way to self host.
SSRI's or Benzodapines have severe side-effects, yet relying on them to survive isn't seen as disruptive to society. There may be an argument against self-medicating with Alcohol or Cannabis, but them being un-natural isn't it.
We should just put a price on carbon directly instead of optimizing lots of other rules to also take emissions into account. Fuel is just too cheap.
Being legal adds a whole lot of marketing push and general acceptance in the population, especially young ones.

Time and again I see so many stories of young people fucking up their lives, and wasting so much of their lives trying to correct mistakes. Something which should have been guided by elders and well-wishers. But US society is neck deep into "individuality" at their own detriment.

A society that is taught from day one to be "independent" will discover that generations after generations will keep making the same mistakes. Same debt traps, same drug problems, same unhealthy choices.

In which case it would be much more honest to say "I think this is good or bad" or "these are my values and they are not subject to debate" rather to propose that thing you like is the natural state of affairs and offer that up as if it were a proposition that you were debating. Or worse, the null-hypothesis from which some nebulous burden of proof is assumed for the opponent.

In other words, it is a dishonest strategem which relies on the other party making the logical fallacy that the natural state of affairs must be good, or that a burden of proof lies with them, instead of recognizing this as the sleight-of-hand that it is.

So I think GP was just being polite by calling it a logical fallacy :)
I don't speak that many languages, but everything you say fits with my household even so, with our three languages (and my acquaintance with other additional languages). Every day my wife and I come across concepts we can't easily express in one language but we can in another. Any my wife says I'm a different person when I switch languages. Well I knew that from before - when my only other active second language was English. Change language, change how you think.
Not true. There are TONS of easy and healthy recipes out there. You can also just meal prep and cook for a whole week in lne session.
Yup. In my book it makes zero sense to group by application. Grouping might make sense if it was per-usecase or manual, but that's really what virtual desktops are for. So grouping just feels useless to me.
yeah I think this articles doesn’t really say much useful regarding the biological effect by chemicals in cannabis.
Focalboard is made by the Mattermost people.

Mattermost embed silent, nonconsensual phone-home spyware from segment.io in their open source server app! I was astounded when I discovered this (nearly totally undocumented) misfeature that, in some ways, defeats the point of selfhosting an open source project.

I don't think I trust software from them without a significant audit for data leaks/spyware/phone-home, as it seems to me that they don't really care about user privacy even in selfhosted versions.
It's the same thing with hardware, just look at laptops. Apple from 2005 would think we have gone too far. No dedicated volume controls, all keys must look exactly the same and keyboards of exactly rectangular shape, no touchpad buttons, no leds to indicate battery status, the fucking power button that looks like a normal key and sits between other keys. At least the webcam shutters are coming back
Good to know thanks for the explanation.
I mean I don't know about you, but I do like to whinge a bit if I have to use PHP or JavaScript or some framework of misery for a job. Pretty sure I'm not the only one.

I still do the job though.
I share the sentiment, but not for Roblox. Hashicorp, with a recent IPO, 200 mil operating revenue, and supposedly a good engineering reputation has one of its flagship products critically depend on a "toy project".
If you're talking about things like TOTP token apps, I'd expect there to be a possibility to do that.

The protocol isn't that complex, so worst case you can write your own. (I've ported the TOTP protocol to get a 6 digit nixie clock to generate my tokens, lol)

The more fancy ones that pop up a message (like in iOS or with Google Play Services) probably won't be supported.
Or maybe a politically significant amount of people don't find targeted ads particularly invasive and at least prefer them to being suggested things with no relevance to the individual whatsoever?

Sounds reasonable. Most adults stop doing many calculations in their head unless they need it at their jobs and thus get worse at it. Same goes for me, btw. And I never smoked weed in my life.

It would be interesting if the people the OP talks about tried to simply retrain their abilities, which I'm sure most adults that are not used to doing these calculations anymore could.
People are skeptical on any side about purely anecdotal experiences. I've posted pro-marijuana anecdotal experiences in here, but I don't expect people to take it as gospel, and frequently specifically call it out as a personal anecdote. In the past, have seen the exact sort of response your replying to directed towards me.

And that's fine, because anecdotes aren't data!

But it's just hard to separate correlation from causation here. Not all people who drink or smoke or do other drugs are depressed, but plenty of depressed people will drink or do drugs.

Plenty of people that have natural talent or skill, or who worked long enough to get to "the top of their game" get complacent even if they do not regularly engage in any of the vices we're talking about here. Arrogance and complacency are hardly unique to drinkers and smokers.

Even from an anecdotal perspective, assuming that marijuana was a contributor to the person becoming complacent, it seems unlikely that the marijuana was a strong causative factor in the suicide attempt. There are a lot of people that smoke pot regularly, and by definition, most of them are not the best person at their hobbies or professions, and they're not committing suicide. There's obviously some deeper issues in play here. (And I think it might be totally reasonable to say that people that have those deeper issues should avoid mind-altering substances)
Omg, the white title bars! I literally can't tell where the title bar is sometimes if there's several windows overlapping.
A lot of drugs make you more social, but sadly they are all outlawed except alcohol. MDMA was used for years to lubricate psicotherapy sessions, until the FDA found out that some people was having "too much fun", banned the thing, and denied it has any possible positive effect. Only two years ago it seems that it is going to be reseached again.

Thomas Szasz has some books about drug history and the paths that turns a substance from legal to illegal. It only takes a high level guy to find the usage, made up some "facts", and illegalize it. Sadly, society is quick to buy those lies. E.g. someone claimed that some guys on LSD stared the sun for too long and got blind. It was a hoax, but so many media repeated the story that it got ingrained in the society that LSD is highly dangerous.
> I realize that this isn't a defense (whataboutism), but I guess it's fine to "speak truth to power" or something?

... I still don't think your overall starting assertions about the other people not understanding regions vs. AZs is correct, and it triggered you to repeatedly assert that the people you were talking to are unskilled.

I could very easily use the same words as them, and I have decade-old spreadsheets where I was playing with different combinations of latencies for commits and correlation coefficients for failures to try and estimate availability.

> Right, so which common mode failures are occurring here? What I'm seeing in this thread and previous AWS threads is a lot of hearsay. Stuff like "the AWS console isn't loading" or "I don't have that problem on Linode!" or "the McDonalds app isn't working so everything is broken thanks to AWS!" I'd love to see a postmortem document, like this, actually uncover one of these common mode failures. Not because I doubt they exist (any real system has bugs and I have no doubt a real distributed system has real limitations); I just haven't seen it borne in real world experience at my current company and other companies I've worked at which used AWS pretty heavily.

I remember 2011, where EBS broke across all US-EAST AZs and lots of control plane services were impacted and you couldn't launch instances across all AZs in all regions for 12 hours.

Now maybe you'll be like "pfft, a decade ago!". I do think Amazon has significantly improved architecture. At the same time, AZs and regions being engineered to be independent doesn't mean they really are. We don't attain independent, uncorrelated failures on passenger aircraft, let alone these more complicated, larger, and less-engineered systems.

Further, even if AWS gets it right, going multi-AZ introduces new failure modes. Depending on the complexity of data model and operations on it, this stuff can be really hard to get right. Building a geographically distributed system with current tools is very expensive and there's no guarantee that your actual operational experience will be better than in a single site for quite some time of climbing the maturity curve.

> Their guarantees are written on their SLA pages.

Yup, and it's interesting to note that their thresholds don't really assume independence of failures. E.g. .995/.990/.95 are the thresholds for instances and .999/.990/.950 are the uptime thresholds for regions.

If Amazon's internal costing/reliability engineering model assumed failures would be independent, they could offer much better SLAs for regions safely. (e.g. back of the envelope, 1- (.005 * .005) * 3C2 =~ .999925 ) Instead, they imply that they expect multi-AZ has a failure distribution that's about 5x better for short outages and about the same for long outages.

And note there's really no SLA asserting independence of regions... You just have the instance level and region level guarantees.

Further, note that the SLA very clearly excludes some causes of multi-AZ failures within a region. Force majeure, and regional internet access issues beyond the "demarcation point" of the service.
uBlock Origin does not noticeably affect the responsiveness of my T100 from 2013 with a Bay Trail atom CPU and 2GB RAM. What exactly are you browsing on?
By natural, I meant, natural for regular human consumption. Not as in natural from mother earth.

Alcohol and tobacco are extremely dangerous and detrimental to any society.

What blows my mind is young teens, barely out of education, harping and celebrating the ability to drink. To me, that's insane. Why does a young person need to drink alcohol? When studies after studies have show how it affects human life in general. From health issue to societal problems to relationship issues.

In my view, alcohol should be shunned and should never be glorified.

When you bombard a child with images, videos, movies and acts of drinking day in and day out, you normalize it. And that is terrible.
The "risk of error" is miniscule and trivial to figure when it does occur. The other 99.999% of the time the ease of reading and writing with them more than makes up for those 30 seconds of confusion every couple of weeks.

Hilarious enough, many of the people who claim ligatures are objectively harmful are also those using archaic tools like vim/emacs. The number of errors that could've been prevented by highly sophisticated IDEs instead of toy text editors from the 80s is surely orders of magnitude higher than the purely theoretical ligature confusion.
Ok, let me give you some more details. The first guy I knew was a friend when I was studying. He studied Electrotechnical engineering at university level, a highly mathematical study and when he started he was quite good with it.
However at the same time when he started the study he also started using Cannabis a lot more, up to the point that he was smoking all day long.
I used to play games with him like poker and backgammon, both games where you can use both your intuition and your rational brain. Over time he basically gave up trying to calculate or reason things, he just relied on his intuition, which didn't improve his game. At the same time his study results started to crash as well. This all didn't happen at once, it took several years.

The second guy I knew was a guy I met when I was playing backgammon in a café. I tried to explain him some things about the game that involved some very basic probability calculations but he stopped me and told that he had been smoking weed for 20 years and had lost capability to do calculations in his head.
