All computers run mathematics all the time. They've already placed significant restrictions on what can be run and can't be run through copyright and patent protections. Additionally I believe there are still restrictions on the export of strong crypto. You would think that freedom of expression would cover that but it does not.

The funny thing is about rights guaranteed by the constitution is that the courts continually keep moving towards the idea of, "they're not absolute rights". We slowly build the chain from, "no shouting fire in a crowded theater" to not being able to express a mathematical formula without being regarded as an international arms dealer.

fwiw you don't have to download drivers yourself, vendors are perfectly happy to distribute barely-uninstallable Adware using Windows Update. This is not limited to pre-built machines, either.
If you buy experiences for the same reason you buy things and that reason is that you just want something new all the time, then you're not going to make any progress either way.

Buy things you really need. Buy experiences that you really, really want. But it should all serve the purpose of ideally not having to further buy something (or something similar) again the next week, month or year. Ideally, you're happy with what you have and what you've experienced and you don't need to repurchase that happiness over and over again.
Many people think in this way, whereas in fact they are being profiled by Google's services all the time - whenever they send a message to their colleagues via Google, when they visit a website using GA, when someone texts them from an Android phone etc.
Valuable investigation steps to find the erring cloud resource, But as Troy concludes 'Budget Alerts' would have saved him from this issue.

No matter what the traffic is, The first thing to do with any cloud service provider is to set the budget alerts according to our wallet, be it one with credits or otherwise. At this point, I don't even try any new cloud service provider who doesn't offer credible budget alerts.

Another key takeaway is,

> Huh, no "CacheControl" value. But there wasn't one on any of the previous zip files either and the Cloudflare page rule above should be overriding anything here by virtue of the edge cache TTL setting anyway.

Even this could blow up. All cloud service providers set the "CacheControl" to "No" and if we would want to cache something which is not cached by CF by default e.g. *html using Page Rules then we need to set CacheControl (e.g. max-age) at the cloud service provider end too.

P.S. I've written about these recently on my blog titled 'Saving Cloud Costs'[1] from a frugal solopreneur PoV.

I always took "buy experiences not things" to mean that you should put your money towards having experiences, whether that's paying for a trip or buying something that enables you to do something you couldn't without it.

A kayak is a "thing", but it's the gateway to an experience. If I buy someone a kayak, I don't intend for them to just hang it in their garage and look at it. I expect they'll actually use it.

If I buy someone a board game, I expect they'll play it with other people. If I buy someone a food basket, I expect they'll not only eat it, but share it with their family and make a memory around it.

If I buy someone a $1 toy from Dollar Store, I expect they'll play with it for a few minutes, and then throw it away. Yes, that was still an experience, but it's a pretty hollow one, and so it's just a "thing", though I suppose there's still a chance it could generate good memories.

OTOH, pre-painted figurines... I just don't see how they create an experience. They're literally just there to look at. They might remind you of an experience you already had, but they don't create or enable experiences.

And by extension, you could apply this to almost all art.

And I definitely don't think people should stop buying (or producing) art. I end up thinking about the advice sometimes, but I don't follow it.

> the best way to stay healthy is not to get sick

This is a pretty “duh” statement. Of course people don’t want to get sick. But many illnesses are genetic, even illnesses that we presumably have some control over (like blood cholesterol levels or addiction). Many illnesses are caused by exposures and traumas in our childhoods where we had very little control in our life. Even lifestyle illnesses can be pointed to as coming from a place where one may not have been enabled to live a healthy lifestyle, due to ignorant raising.
Right. Well, I guess I just think the article is worded confusingly then. Because when I read it I thought "wait, it doesn't error, it waits" and I think that's an important feature.
I do appreciate the response a lot and I hope other readers who find this thread will do too, thanks for the effort!
It would be nice to see how this query could look in Postgres.
I buy experiences, not things because all the “things” you gather end up weighing you down. Sure, you could sell those things, but that’s work in and of itself.

Do I buy things? Sure I do, but most of the things I buy are in service of some experience I wish to have. But I go to estate sales from time to time, where you see the collected detritus of a person’s life sold at ten cents on the dollar. Kind of puts it into perspective as the whole deal is a bit sad.
I believe they meant to argue that it is high-risk because it is inefficient in the sense that you expend a lot of energy which may or may not pay off. But since it is both high-risk and high-reward, I was also wondering why they used the word inefficient there.
The simple answer here is that Troy was using Cloudflare to offset costs he knew he would incur with Azure. He states verbatim:

"Firstly, I always knew bandwidth on Azure was expensive and I should have been monitoring it better, particularly on the storage account serving the most data."

...and he didn't have simple monitors in place to alert him of uncommon billing spikes.

I get your point, if he's not OK with using Hetzner how is Cloudflare any better? It's not. But the reality is Cloud operations are a fine dance of weaving services together to realize all of the heavily advertised savings. I'd argue that a lot of Troy's projects that use all of the cloud native functions could have also been implemented on much more standard stacks and, likely, been just as cost and performance effective. But that's not going to get him the advertising for Microsoft.
> Because these formerly Russian-occupied countries want to defend themselves from a future Russian occupation.

This explains why such countries would want to join NATO, but not why NATO would want to take them in and be committed to defending them from external aggression. Not every country that expresses an intention to join NATO is accepted. Consider that in mid-nineties, Russia, then under the pro-western president Yeltsin rather than the isolationist Putin, asked to be accepted into NATO, but was rejected [0]. So Russia — at least as it complains to the rest of the world — finds itself sitting next to a growing hostile military alliance whose main historical purpose was to confront the USSR, which no longer exists, but which Russia perceives itself to be a successor to.

There are plenty of people who aren't in the US, and have their own constitutions, your title should probably address that.

Misunderstanding what freedom of expression means in the US is very common. Without weighing in on whether it would, or should, be constitutionally protected in the US, freedom of expression doesn't make sense here. That's like asking whether the FDA allows shoveling snow.

> They are stuck with Cold War thinking "it's either Russia or USA".

While those countries were busy getting into EU and NATO in nineties, we (Ukraine) were stuck with president that pushed for what he called "multivector" international politics, which basically meant doing nothing in particular and trying to be friendly with everyone else (while plundering the country of course, since there was no external pressure for reforms, like wannabe-EU countries had). Looks like Romania and Poland were right all along, don't you think?
I haven't tried that, but I do regularly drink Pepsi Zero and I'm pretty happy with it. Enough that I switched from being a Coke Zero drinker.

More recently, I tried the Dr Pepper Zero and I like it very much as well. I have long been a fan of real Dr Pepper, but I just don't want that much sugar in my life. Diet Dr Pepper is gross, though I know people who like it. Dr Pepper Zero is close enough to the real thing that I don't feel like I'm missing out. I even inadvertently bought a pack of real Dr Pepper (the bottles are the same color!) a few months back and drank one without realizing I was drinking the full sugar version. That's quite a compliment to Snapple for their formula.

Are there cloud services that allow to easily put a maximum budget, to make sure you have no surprise costs like that?
Or unless your traffic is so low that the marginal cost differences are something you can swallow.

I've been running something on AppEngine for 10 years and it costs me less than $1 a month. Not sure I could find a cheaper VPS.

On the other hand, I also manage a Mediawiki install, and a cheap Hetzner VPS works great for this.
I did not say, all people are equal in terms of power. But the masses do have power.

That is a form of machine learning. It uses an algorithm with an enormous ability to look ahead, and selects the moves according to a heuristic that have been shown previously to be most likely to create the desired end state.

Chess is not a solved game from the starting state, so it has to make assumptions based on the data it has. This is machine learning.
Please don't make such definite statements. You even say it in your own comment "selects the best possible true of outcomes", how do you think it selects this? It uses heuristics to assign values to different board states, and in the case of Deep Blue these values were created through previous game analysis. If a knight to c2 on turn 8 is rarely seen in the same game as a winning board state, then this is valued lower.
Looking through the tree wasn't the ML part, but knowing how to pick the best node on the tree was.
Deep Blue is ML.

I have no doubt it deals with a real threat. That doesn’t change the fact that I’m regularly unable to log into my Google account.

Usually it happens when I’m using multiple devices simultaneously—for example, Android and iOS. It’s understandable that Google considers that to be suspicious, but if Google isn’t going to learn on its own, there needs to be some way for me to confirm that nothing is amiss. It’ll ignore everything from TOTP codes to YubiKeys.
I have a couple of side projects that are non-commercial / hobby type that I found GitHub pages to be suitable and sufficient since I was using pure HTML/CSS/Javascript for the app. So, it really depends on the tech stack you are using. If you need to provision non-trivial infrastructure, cloud or VPS might be better suited.
There are dozens of us!

When I buy a thing, I can use it for a while then sell it on eBay to recoup some of the cost. I can return it to the store if I don’t find it useful. With some items, I can share it with a friend and he can get the same utility from it. None of these things are true for purchased experiences.

I used to think I liked travel, but turned around later in life. To me, travel is nothing but stress. Let’s take a typical international trip: Big payment up front for plane tickets, hotel, rental car and so on up front, then you’re praying it all goes well. You can substitute travel insurance for prayer if you want to spend even more money. Then, the security/boarding circus of air travel. Then cramped seating and crap service in what has turned into a Greyhound Bus in the sky. Once you land, assuming the airline didn’t lose your bags, you and the rest of the cattle are marched through immigration and customs, where you pretty much have no rights as a human being. Finally you are in your glorious destination! Except you probably don’t speak or understand the native language so everything you do is going to be 5X more difficult than at home. You rent a car that’s not as nice/familiar as yours, stay in a hotel that just doesn’t have everything you’re used to at home. With kids in tow you’re desperately trying to keep everyone corralled together and (in some destinations) not kidnapped. Finally, you hit some tourist sites, lay on the beach, check out the local cities, whatever your goal was. Then, back to the circus to get home. COVID has added “pass last minute COVID tests or you are stuck without compensation” to the equation. By the time you’re home you are so thankful to get back to real life! Spent all that time and money for what? A memory that we can’t even sell on the secondhand market. Maybe 100 more photos on the phone which we might look at again sometime later.

Last vacation I took with my family, my spouse mentioned to me two days before it started “I can’t wait till this is all over and we’re back here at home again!” I agreed, and we both realized “why are we doing this??”
You could try a program like "Couch to 5K" which will help ease you into the activity of running. For me, I hate running. But the more I run, the better I get at it and the more I enjoy it. And then I end up injuring myself and stop running...until the cycle repeats.

TLDR: you could possibly learn to love to run.
Similarly, I bought a expensive espresso machine, also from Italy (lambo is VW now though). It brings me enjoyment and caffeine. While others are impressed by it, the purchase wasn't to impress. Functionally its amazing with every piece doing something very specific. Its function defines the form and perception of form gets confused with fancy, even by my smartest friends. Lamborghini are just well formed cars, not fancy by any means.
How about a rule like: Don't bring Covid to work/work events. Seems a lot more aligned with the presumed goals.
> That's it's main redeeming feature. It's horrible for technical people to deal with but it's main feature is that non technical people are able to use it without requiring assistance from technical people.

Which also makes it kind of a Black Swan risk: it's fine for the majority of times. Preferable, because it leaves you to do other work. But when sh*t hits fans, it hits it bad. If you cannot afford your tech-staff to spend two hours a week supporting the website, you certainly cannot afford them to spend days cleaning out some backdoor, infected servers, acquiring untainted IPs, getting off spam-lists and so on. Or afford the ransom if hit by a crypt-locker.

> All I do is makes sure it stays up to date, is configured properly, and make sure backups happen.

And that is more than most do. But, unfortunately not enough. Given the amount, frequency and severety of holes and exploits in the larger WP ecosystem. All you might be doing, is backup that ransomware, spamscript or backdoor for months. Encrypted, offsite and incremental, probably.
I think it just depends on the receiver of the gift. My daughter LOVES figurines and her and her friends will get together and role play with their different animals. It’s very much an experience. But I’d never buy something like that for my wife :)
Just about any treadmill with arms will do, which is most of them. I use a piece of wood that's meant to be a shelf. I put velcro on the bottom and on the arms of the treadmill then put a laptop stand on the shelf.

Pin a qr-code to your channel instead. Far from ideal but it will work better. Twitter does not like posts with links in them.
I do not know what is your circle of friends and partners and how engaged they were in politics, but NATO summit did actually happen in 2008, and Ukraine would not be mentioned there if it would not ask about membership.
That was few years after the Orange Revolution and country leadership was indeed pro-Western back then. They lost the next elections to Yanukovich, so nobody bothered about this topic until 2013-2014. Since you are living there, you know that Ukraine was a divided country, and it really depended on which bubble you belonged to.
They arguably don't have your view history though, though their relatively new streaming service will be likely changing that slowly.
As I'm sure everyone has heard in response to the Matrix, "humans make for pretty terrible batteries".
And I believe you, here are the possible explanations:

- Personal experience: it is not a construct I use, and most of the code I work with don't use it either, so when it happens, it is a surprise. People who come from a pointerless language like Java may expect it.

- I work with a lot of messy code: large code bases I barely know, written by many people from different companies, without a style guide. So one function may use references and the next one may use pointers, adding to the confusion.

- Of course, documentation is misleading (to the point that I make a conscious effort not to read it), and so are function names. Things like getChild(n) that increments n when pretty much every getChild(n) function everywhere passes n by value. Terrible code, that's why there is a bug in the first place, bugs are usually not in the best written parts.

- I actually like jumping in other people terrible code and fix bugs, it is an interesting challenge and I became rather good at it where I work. As a result, I am often given these kinds of job. A few days is not that much compared to my entire experience of debugging terrible code, but enough to be significant.

- Of course I spend a lot more time fixing memory corruption (and the problem with stealthy reference is that it can look like memory corruption). But in my experience, references over pointers don't help that much with it. It helps against null pointer dereferencing, but as I said before, these are usually easy bugs to fix.
> There is no Websocket support nor any hint at async communication protocols.

Both of these things are out of scope for OpenAPI. It's a separate discussion whether they should be or not, but they are currently not. For async protocols, there is AsyncAPI [0], FWIW.

Do you know of an alternative spec format that would cover what you're missing with OpenAPI?
"Russian interest" here is synonymous with Vova Putin's interest, same as in every totalitarian dictatorship. Just like "Saudi Arabian intentions" are whatever Mister Bone Saw desires or "Chinese foreign policy" are whatever Xi thinks is best at any given moment.

The VPS was a VM, but I moved from that to dedicated a long time ago.

Hetzner has nice dedicated servers for €33/mo:

https://www.hetzner.com/sb

I'm on an older one that just got bumped up to €29/mo due to increasing electricity prices; it was €21/mo until now, and I can't blame them for that one. The specs are E3-1245 V2 / 16GB / 2x3T, there's over 45 vhosts on it across ~25 wwwroots plus other random services, and CPU usage is basically nothing. The cores are really there just to handle bursty stuff. Most random side projects and small websites don't need almost any resources on modern hardware.

Previously I was on a Scaleway Dedibox, which go as low as €15/mo right now. It was €10 at one point even.
