> I very much hope it's not a France sponsored coup

Is there any indication that could be the case? I don't see what France would get from such a case, and all the reporting so far seems to be that junior military men are complaining about top military brass and insufficient resources to combat jihadists. France is already embroiled in Mali in that same fight, so it could be a continuation of the same policy.
Some people think long term profits can only happen in a non-apocalyptic world, so they try to let humanity stay alive, I guess.

Yep, we had an incident with Mongo cloud where a bug in their synchronization protocols for Mongo Realm resulted in an insane amount of traffic. This was a development cluster with almost no application load somehow pumping around many TB over the course of a few days. The bill was many thousands of dollars. Their support did the right thing. And we actually ended up with some credits because we were having a rough time with bugs in their software. Ultimately, we gave up on Mongo Realm because it was just not working as advertised for us (high CPU usage on the device, lots of bandwidth, we experienced data loss in the managed cloud storage, etc.). But their support team was great.

Their interests is keeping you as a long term customer. So, they will help you if they can. Unexpectedly high bills like that can end the relation in no time. And 10K is not a lot on a yearly basis. That's a few months of normal usage for lots of companies. So, protecting that revenue is worth something to them. That's also worth realizing when you deal with cloud providers: you are spending non trivial amounts of money on their services and support is part of that deal.
Okay, I’ll bite. Even if you just watch the mech battles, and ignore everything else about the plot… they’re pretty entertaining battles!

Can somebody explain to me why I wouldn't just rent a 40 EUR dedicated server from Hetzner with unlimited traffic and gigabit uplink? His 600GB/day is way less than what you get over a gigabit link within a day. Sure, sudden bursts would perhaps "throttle" at a gigabit, but according to his article that was only the cloudflare proxy anyhow, so no pain in having that take a few seconds longer.

As far as I am concerned, I just don't understand why people use cloud services.

As many studies clearly point it the opposite direction, isn't it way more probable that parents whish for their kids to be more calm than their default state actually is? Kids are usually pretty active and in demand of attention, while parents of young kids are usually sleep deprived and stressed out. The energy level of your average satiated toddler simply is staggeringly high.

We know from practically every field of human behaviour that even experts, when not guided by strict predefined rules, are simply unable to objectively assess social situations. E.G. in educationals settings, even experienced teachers sensitized for the topic are usually unable to correctly observe how their praise-punishment ratio is or the ratio of interacting with boys/girls or with loud and quiet students.

It simply isn't reasonable to assume that parents, completely untrained in objectively evaluating these kinds of settings, assess the effects of sugar consumption correctly.

You have to live in a world where there is no Netflix and no Disney/Pixar yet. Where the standard for mass-media japanimation is Dragon Ball Z. People had to wait for each episode for days if not weeks. At that point in time Ideaki Anno was a name only known to relatively few people, but we knew he could deliver stellar stuff. Evangelion started hyper-well animated and characters resonated with many viewers. Cool music too. The story arc looked promising with dark brooding villains and misteries everywhere. It was really something at the time. Where it ended is another (controversial) story.

For client-side stuff like that, there is sheetjs which has support for XLSX but there are file size limitations. XLSX is a glorified zip file and to parse it you 1st have to unzip it and then build the XLSX file.

I found that it starts to hang on XLSX files ~50MB because the spreadsheet model it produces get's a bit too big and sheetjs dies. Doing this in a web worker is a good idea because otherwise it will clog the main thread.

For CSV the story is different, because you can read a plain text file in chunks (even in JS) with FileReader and readAsArrayBuffer(file.slice(byteOffset, byteOffset + chunkSize, file.type)).

While indeed neither markdown, much less JSON syntax has been intended as an SGML app, that doesn't stop SGML from parsing JSON, markdown, and other custom Wiki syntax using SHORTREF [1] ;) In fact, the original markdown language is specified as a mapping to HTML angle-bracket markup (with HTML also an SGML vocabulary), and thus it's quite natural to express that mapping using SGML SHORTREF, even though only a subset can be expressed.

Thanks for bringing up E-Graphs! I haven't heard of them before and the field looks quite intriguing.

That's not how real life works. In real life (for many people), familiarity breeds desire. To put it another way, it starts off innocent. One dinner, 2 dinners, 3 dinners, a movie, and the married partner keeps telling themselves "I'm still faithful and I'm not doing anything wrong and have no intent to be unfaithful". But, it's like a tension building up and when it finally crosses some threshold, suddenly your feeling change. You want the relationship with the other person.

Many people recognize this pattern. There are countless stories, novels, books, movies, tv shows on it. People writing from personal experience. If you truly value your monogamous marriage then you'll avoid letting that tension build in the first place. That doesn't mean you'll never go out with a friend of the opposite sex. But you will avoid doing it too much. O course many people aren't even aware of this pattern so they let the tension build and then lose their marriage.

You can fully trust your partner. And your partner can trust themselves. That doesn't mean if they put themselves in that situation over and over that nothing will come of it. Further, you have no idea what the other person's intensions are, and even if the other person's intensions are platonic, they'll have the same tensions building.

Yeah, HIBP is using torrents:

Practice is important for subjects like math and coding bcz it help you choose the right tools needed for the task sometimes you might need the combination of two and more tools which wasn't mention on theory part of that tool.

Also, for subject which requires understanding of things (like Operating System). Try building a visual model in brain. If u already know some of the parts then connect those part visually with the new concept you are learning.

It is hilarious that you confidently assert something completely wrong that could have been researched with a simple google search.
"Section 3.2: the 10%+ of already-deleted accounts were removed."

You've been implying that this is a methodological flaw of the paper we're talking about but Section 3.2 is an attempt to replicate someone else's study, one which claims Botometer isn't flawed. As they clearly point out the study wasn't replicable because the original authors didn't record/supply the data used to do the original classification, just numeric user IDs. Non-replicable research is exactly the kind of problem they're calling out here!

Gallwitz and Kreil have pointed out by this paragraph that the way the accounts were pre-filtered will already avoid Botometer's biggest weaknesses. Yet, despite this fact, "A surprisingly high number of the 121 alleged bots in our sample are in reality individuals with academic or professional credentials, many of them directly related to the topic of vaccines" and "A number of the 121 alleged bots are, in reality, the official Twitter accounts of health-related organisations", and "some of the alleged vaccine bots are, in reality, Twitter accounts related to agricultural topics and pets".

Section 3.2 points out that the study isn't replicable, which is by itself sufficient to discard it. Yet even when this problem is ignored and a replication is attempted anyway, a convincing takedown is easy to mount. It shows clearly that the authors never bothered to look at their "true positives" and is thus a great example of the problem in action.

If you think it's easy to do a much better rebuttal to all these bad papers than these two German authors managed, great, let's see it? It sounds like you would be pointing out flaws in a widely used competitor, after all. I agree completely that Botometer is dumb and data starved, but where we seem to disagree is that you think it's possible to give social 'scientists' better tools. I don't think it is. Users consent to sharing their data with services when they tweet, post, etc but they don't consent to sharing it with random academics. The whole field of academic social bot research is DOA because of this problem, yet, academic institutions like universities, journals and granting bodies systematically cannot accept this. Anything they produce will always be a data starved PRNG.
The problem is not really that they do it, but that they don't adequately inform users about this risk and that they fail to offer proper support and alternatives when it gets triggered. If they offered proper support a whole lot of the user despair and anger would disappear.
You give family court too much credit.

It is very good these things are getting publicized. More and more people realize these payment schemes for what they are: a scam. Every cloud provider that refuse to put a hard spending limit participates in this.

It is important to remember that not all cloud providers participate in it. For example, in Hetzner Cloud, they explicitly provide the maximum amount you are going to pay for a given instance or service in a given month. You are guaranteed not to pay more. Everybody knows why Amazon etc. refuses to do it this way.

Rust already has the ability to make you use the type at most once, so the useful extension for Rust would be "must-use types" which is an extension of linear types (since linear types would be able to represented in this system easily enough)

It would actually solve a lot of issues in Rust, but unfortunately would be an insane amount of work to introduce because they would invade a lot of the current type system

Different purpose, which succeeded. It is a different philosophy to not be jealous of whatever use someone may make of it, even to making money. Why force a commercial venture to duplicate work if you can help them as well? If you can release high quality software which gets used and advances the state of the art _everywhere_, then that sounds like a good deal. I understand why copyleft might be useful in some circumstances, Linux has gained great adoption with the commercial tech giants because of it, but there is room for all philosophies in the code world; and they suit different purposes and temperaments. Some people simply feel happy that their high quality code is adopted and used, maybe they play Playstation and are happy they contributed to high quality entertainment, the world is a better place because of it.

Unfortunately there are a lot of overly-strong claims in this blog post; the choices are not as clear-cut as the author makes them seem. I'll list a few examples to illustrate (these are not exhaustive):

> What we mean to write is: auto plus(const std::string& s, const std::string& t) { return s + t; }

To a first-order approximation, sure. But arguably it's better to pass 's' by value and 't' by const reference, then do s += t and return s. That lets you reuse any existing buffer if you receive an rvalue, and lets the caller preallocate the buffer if it so desires. This can help you avoid a heap allocation.

> This function is wrong: auto plus(const std::string s, const std::string& t). The programmer meant to type const std::string& s.

Not necessarily. The const tells the programmer that s will never be modified. That's an excellent constraint that can make a nontrivial function easy to reason about. (Obviously that doesn't imply you should do this everywhere. I'm just pointing out it's not "wrong".) P.S. I hear optimizers can sometimes optimize const objects, though I don't have proof handy for that example, so someone else can fact-check that part.

> or maybe they meant const std::shared_ptr<Connection>& for efficiency (but in that case why aren’t they simply passing const Connection& from the caller?)

That "why" actually has an answer: "because the function might only copy the shared_ptr conditionally, and desire to remain efficient in the no-copy case".

> Const data members are never a good idea.

This one is correct!
> Are heavy games really 'better' than 'light' games?

To serious board game players, yes, more complex games are "better" because the simple games tend to have dozens of games with almost identical feel. If the game is complex there can be more variety.
