Telegram, specifically P. Durov has literally sponsored Russian dissidents. He refused to give over info when he still ran VK over to the FSB instead sending them literally memes. When Telegram was banned in Russia, he spun up free proxies for people to bypass the restrictions.

or throw money at RAM rather than have any swap space at all, I have seen used dual xeon servers (2 socket, 16-core per socket) with 512GB of RAM for sale very slightly under $2000 now, with no storage in them. By the time you add a few nice fast SSDs and a 10GbE NIC the all-in cost is looking under $2850.
100%. There must be a hell of a lot of chumps out there who are impressed by a shitty touchscreen.
In round numbers, airlines’ cost basis is ~$0.15 per available seat mile.

So a trip from NYC to Rome of 4,300 miles in a 777-300ER with 350 passengers would cost in the ballpark of $225k.

LA to Shanghai at 6,500 miles in the same capacity plane would be more like $350k.

$1M wouldn’t make much sense because with 350pax you’d need them to pay $2,900 each leg just to cover the operating costs. So a round trip flight to Shanghai that was completely sold out in both directions would need to have an average ticket price of nearly $6k.
Of course US state run media outside the us is state run. This should be a surprise to few, and it should bother even fewer.
I would love to see the SX-70 remade, exact same folding design and size (and leather!) but with a computer printer inside.
A word of advice, always use a custom domain, alot easier to change providers.

As for switching, I did it few times.

From microsoft to migadu. Switched to custom domain at the same time. Migadu was good for the price but in the early days it wasnt very stable and I wanted something more private.

From migadu to Tutanota. More private but tutanota wasnt as polished and can only be used with their custom email clients. Again great value for the money but I was missing better UX.

Finally from Tutanota to Protonmail. It was painful to export emails from Tutanota. I am very happy with Proton. If money isnt a constraint I think it is the best option for privacy focused providers.
Ah ok thanks both of you, that suffices. I wondered why the word list was in such a weird order. Any idea if the permutation from alphabetical order is something simple? That would allow membership testing by binary search instead of needing an extra data structure.
I don't really have to work that many hours in my SWE job to be productive enough to satisfy management. I could easily take on a second job if it was like the first. And I would happily do this to double my TC. I'm honestly sitting around bored a lot of the time, waiting for code reviews or running long pipelines or builds.

Assuming this is legal, how exactly would it be so unethical to do this? If I could work a second job without detriment to my performance in the first, what's the harm? Also, is it legal?
>I continue to think Apple should have never released AirTags to the public

It is the usual Apple strategy for decades. AirTags product play was the technological groundwork for UWB and possibly AR/VR. They always need a product, hobby or something adjacent to iron out all the problems. Chip Packaging, Next Gen OLED, Low Power Profiling all landed on Apple Watch first before they moved to iPhone. The Sound work on AirPod before they moved to HomePod and later MacBook and iPad.

This way they could spread their R&D and gain synergy across product range.

On the subject of tracking, I am not entirely sure AirTag, or the idea of Tagging ( so to speak ) is as useless as you claim it to be, but I am also extremely uneasy with the concept of AirTag. Like many if not all things in life, the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
You can download it as mp3!
Construction isn't corrupt, it's the government. In both those cases as well as the subway project in New York which has the highest cost per mile of any rail anywhere, it's all a slush fund for that political party.
You don't recognize the huge value of AirTags for Apple - the AirTags give Apple a valid excuse to create an ad-hoc network (Find My Network) of Apple devices that can better spy on each user, thus giving them better access to the users personal data regardless of their privacy settings. For example, if you haven't opted out of the Find My Network (turned it off), but turned locations off due to privacy concern, Apple can now get that data from others iDevice users near you. They can use it to upgrade your social graphs (who you hang out with), where you shop and eat outside. With Find My Network enabled, Apple devices are no longer fully powered off but go into a low power mode so that they can still talk to another iDevice through Bluetooth.
You have a serious case of delusions of grandeur. Get some help.
Probably deliberate since unconsented spouse tracking is probably the most common type of tracking. Maybe an icon and periodic notifications, similar to how the location service works could be a way to allow.
There are plenty of people out there willing to take the risk. They won’t be the poor being forced into it, they’ll all be perfectly aware and willing.
They will be serious if they actually build it, unlike Flamanville.

While you call non-nuclear options "virtue signaling," the attempts at building it in France and the US have been virtue signaling. We don't have the industrial capacity to build nuclear.

Meanwhile, we are deploying GW of solar, wind, and storage on time, on budget, ar ever decreasing costs.

Locking in the high costs of nuclear, for the 60 year lifetime of a nuclear reactor, after a 15 year delay for building, is not a serious solution for climate change.
Clearly AWS provides a valuable and ongoing service with ongoing costs. I'd contend that the rent seeking aspect would be the difference between AWS's barest bones hosting and their more advanced/expensive offerings once that software (mostly) stops updating. There's not much difference between rent seeking and amortization.
I agree that both the label OO and FP is overloaded with multiple indiscernable meanings.

I mean Kay's OO, inheritance, class, polymorphism, abstraction, those are mix of paradigm, design pattern, and language feature.

So does FP with its monads, sumtypes, referential transparency

I guess what can make a better discussion is to take apart the label into these individual items and examine them one by one.

Inheritance - bad - get languages to safely discourage its user from using it

Actor and messages - good - get people to understand the concept and how to implement it in each languages

Immutability - good - let's announce how it helps reduce errors

Functional domain modelling - good - let's make everyone know how to do it

Foreign jargon of FP traits - bad - let's make a more walkable learning curve to those jargons

And so on and so on
Fastly and Cloudflare are now very different companies.

Fastly is a CDN, Cloudflare has a CDN product in its product range. Cloudflare is an internet technology company, not just a CDN. Cloudflare product range seems to be constantly growing and getting better.

While Fastly technically has other products, they are way off the delivery and execution of Cloudflare. Fastly Cloud@Edge has the potential to be a FAAS / AWS lambda killer but Fastly have failed to realise the product unlike Cloudflare workers, which I don’t think is as technically good as C@E but as a product Cloudflare workers is good enough, simple to use, good value proposition and actively being iterated on. I’d choose cloudflare workers over c@e simply because Fastly make it very hard to use the product and pricing wise despite WASI being extremely interesting.

Go to Fastly’s website, try to figure out their product range, then try to calculate the cost, then try and enter a credit card to use there services. It’s difficult! Contrast to Cloudflare who have a generous free tier to hook you in, nicely tiered products with transparent clearly displayed pricing. The Clodflare tiers are just enough functionality to tempt you to the next tier without even thinking about it when you need to upgrade. Giving Cloudflare your credit card to give the money is trivial, no hunting around the UX or “please contact sales” at the end of every page in small print.

The complainants about Fastly can be the result of they only want to deal with enterprise customers. That’s fine but the likes of AWS, DigitalOcean, dev service companies where built on hooking developers with easy entry/pricing who then took the product to there day jobs at the enterprises. I often hear it called the flywheel effect. Cloudflare seem to be taking the hook devs, build a fan base, make it attractive + easy to use approach to grow organically not lock out the small spenders and only talking to enterprise level spenders.
Thanks. Yeah I thought about a mailing list, but couldn't think of a way to make it not spam you every single day for the 1 or 2 best listings. But obviously can't aggregate them unless it's a digest of "here's what you missed," which would be slightly amusing.
Yes, sorry for putting words into your mouth, I hope I correctly added the edit. I kept the comment just because I thought it'd still add value to the overall conversation.

Agreed again, but IMHO even if you go with "traditional" advertising it definitely can be done too much, it's (in)famous now between us people who are overall against ads the pictures of cities that banned ads:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cidade_Limpa

https://dontdrinkthetapwatercom.wordpress.com/2017/09/25/291...

I am from an old European city and I love looking at the buildings and public spaces and not being bombarded by ads. In contrast, I think it's interesting now that I live in Tokyo and there's areas where ads creep up buildings, but because it's a somewhat very jarring visual experience in some places, in general it's one of the things that I really dislike here, beautiful buildings covered by giant ugly paper ads.

So rephrasing things, where do I think ads are okay? I haven't thought about it too much, but possibly:

- On a sidebar in a website, like Google did back on the day

- On a magazine, both full-page and in-page, as long as they are limited

- On TV as long as they are limited (they are by law in Spain)

- Newspaper ads section

- Specialized magazines, websites, directories, etc (white-pages-like), including Google Maps

- Recommendations within the page's theme (a section with new or highlighted restaurants in tripdavisor/yelp).

- Probably few more places like this.

For things that you _need_ to do to live your normal life I don't think we should be forced to stare at ads. I'm sure a lot more people would stop staring at their phones if the train/bus showed art, interesting videos, etc. in their tvs instead of ads (as they used to do in my hometown). Now wherever you look, it's all ads.
Not just you, I had the same experience. I rewatched it several times over the years and understood something new every time.
Heart-disease risk soars after Covid, even with a mild case
I am building Miasma (https://miasma.app); a little toolbar app for macOS that shows air quality readings based on either public sensors nearby or you can choose your own from PurpleAir or SmartCitizen. Also shows some metrics of potential pollution sources like traffic, aviations, power generation, and lately I added some global warming stats and calcs.

I am far from being able to program competently, so this was a stretch goal for me (using up all that lovely creative energy people had early in the pandemic) on a topic I care about. Code is horrible (with my minimal knowledge now even I can see that) but there wasn’t anything reliable enough in the App Store at the time.
There’s no way I can monetise it (albeit on the even worse iOS app I did I show ads, as much to learn how to integrate them rather than derive any income) so it is purely a passion project.
There have been over 1000 downloads, and based on the numbers using one of the data feeds I can see there are regularly 20 people using it throughout the day when their devices are on. Small wins.
Finance is not free, there is always opportunity cost.
A hobby project from about 5 years ago https://cmdchallenge.com . There is zero monetization and the only reason I keep it running is that it has been pretty low maintenance and doesnt cost anything to run (one small $5 vm). There seems to be some small groups who use it as a learning tool. I don't think it is a great way to learn shell fundamentals by any stretch but the low barrier makes it a bit more accessible than other tutorials.
Fwiw - paying for YouTube premium removes all ads from all devices and I see it as a strong vote in favor of subscriptions that do so. But, yes, it’s nearly unwatchable in its free state.

When I set up Debian on this machine (an old Proliant ML330G6 with 96Gb of memory) I did think "what do you do with swap?".

In the before times, when I was a SunOS/Solaris admin in the 1990s we used to have a rule of thumb handed down from the boss that swap should be 2x physical memory but in the intervening years this seems like massive overkill. The Debian installer gave it 1Gb of swap as a default. Probably not enough to get you into trouble if something decided to go truly rogue but you can always hit the off switch.

I did toy with the idea of giving it 200Gb of swap but watching the process monitor with the dev environments running and a few VMs I struggle to break 64Gb of memory usage. It is running hybrid disks and not SSDs though.

If I ever bother to put SSDs in it (unlikely) I guess I'll think about it again but swap seems almost irrelevent on a workstation now. On a server...would probably have to get a new rule of thumb.

It actually does. What happens if you stop growing the money supply? The system crashes because you force a cascading inability to repay debts (this is just math and is unavoidable). Growing the money supply without growing the economy also means crashes. So, yeah. Stability under our current system means grow at all costs.

What's interesting is that in my neck of the woods most places serving Chinese food were actually Vietnamese restaurants, and none of them ever delivered, but several of the much smaller handful of Chinese places did. (Usually had a large minimum order and a very short delivery range, though.) I always wondered why that was.

> No major game engine has a finished ECS system yet.

The major engines may not have ECS built in, but some of them are supported by ECS systems that are readily available. Your implicit restriction of professional gamedevs to include only people who both use a major game engine but don't use third party components not supplied by the engine is, I think, overly restrictive.
It's a model that makes behavioral assumptions that are provably wrong. The fact that people buy computers despite prices going down contradicts the underlying assumption. There is nothing particularly special about computers among all goods.
That’s some nice job growth you’ve got there… it’d be a shame if anything happened to it.
Because if you want local, dine-in business, then you can't take a customer in and then hold them captive for 45 minutes just waiting on the queue. Whereas for delivery it's ok to be more async.

Dining in person is in part (maybe large part) about the experience of being there and being served, even for lower budget fare. This is restauranting 101. If a restaurateur cares about their customers they'll set an appropriate rate limit on call in orders so that they can properly prioritize dine-in customers.

Those that don't are optimizing for revenue since of course online customers will pick another place if the reported delay is too long. It's customer hostile to keep your dine-in customer captive for 45 minutes because they are there and will sit there and be "forced" to accept it due to a kind of sunk time fallacy.

And you can't really hire for peak times if your peak to average ratio is too high.

Do you not find it rude that when there's a long line at your favorite coffee shop or whatever, that people that come late order online using their phone then move over to the pickup? Getting served before the folks in front of them in the physical queue?

In short: customer service matters in the restaurant industry and that is why online order shouldn't be served first, simply based on having a single queue for orders.
Not really concerning. When you are designing a rocket engine that’s what it does before you’re done, it melts and explodes. In fact it’s what all rocket engines do past their limits. If that wasn’t the problem you were having, it would be concerning.

One thing I did learn as I got older was that, unless an actual life is at stake, somebody elses deadline is usually artificial. None of the things I work on involve life threatening situations and while it's sometimes hard to keep your head when disaster is looming, keeping perspective is important.

So figuring out when the "last responsible moment" is, generally it isn't right now. For me at least.

Intel's operating income is still roughly the size of AMD whole revenue, and they've just got their crown back on all but the highest end desktop class CPUs.

Intel are very good at selling computer chips, this move sounds dumb (and it is), but the idea that the company is dying now (as opposed to 3 years ago) is quite silly IMO.

It is entirely reasonable to expect the police to recover stolen high value items whose location is known. Particuarly if the items were obtained with violence or weapons.

Yeah the police do exactly that.

When my father’s Android was stolen we called the cops and they told us to the park a block away from the thief’s house (last ping from Find My Device) and wait for them. They took a report from us, confronted the thief at his house, and got the phone back. The thief claimed that he found it at the post office and intended to return it, but the phone was in airplane mode (accessible from the lock screen) so that was clearly never gonna happen. This was in San Jose.

Isn't this Domain Driven Design? I think you understated how easy it is to test in your example. Tests can move from CD to CI because of your architecture. I would love to see more discussions about the tension between scale and test-ability.
