All the fractal related projects have gathered under the github account RockingShip, the main project being Untangle. The other projects give an indication of the direction, most notably the bezier curves. A the moment I have lost the focus to write a nice paper, but there is a large README and lots of in-code and timestamped annotations.

Why would you use a free service for any work things ever
Re: reproducibility, you're right; yet pretty much all of those arguments can be applied to much simpler, well-established technologies; even something like Make (awful syntax notwithstanding!).

IMHO, the real 'trick' with Docker isn't really container runtimes, images, layers, etc. It's the willingness to avoid system dependencies in favour of doing everything inside a "container image" (AKA .tar.gz). That would seem crazy to a Makefile writer in the 80s, but once we become willing to do this, the actual technique can be implemented using something like Make (with appropriate use of `./configure --prefix` arguments, 'export PATH=...' commands, etc.).

Sure it would be leaky, inefficient, etc. but as you say, the majority of devs wouldn't mind (just like with Docker).

To be clear, I'm not advocating anyone actually try doing this with Make, or whatever. I'm just pointing out that many of the claimed advantages of containers (in general) and Docker (in particular), like being sort-of isolated, or sort-of cross-platform, etc. are actually completely orthogonal to the underlying technology. Instead, those advantages come from the way they tend to be used.

Unfortunately, some of the downsides also come from the way they tend to be used (e.g. putting an entire OS inside a container, rather than just the intended binary + its deps; or using 'latest' tags instead of hashes)

> It's just a file system that consists of a bunch of layers, isn't it?

Exactly. Hence it's hard to check whether, for example, the bin/foo executable contains a patch for CVE-1234, or whatever.

Compare this to e.g. Maven .poms, Nix .drvs, etc. which tell us what went into any particular artifact.

> Actually, there's no reason why you should limit yourself to just using tags, since something like "my-image:2022-02-18" might be accidentally overwritten unless your repo specifically prevents this from being allowed. If you want, you can actually run images by their hashes

Indeed, this is actually a really nice thing about Docker (which has since been incorporated into OCI). However, the tragedy is that it tends to get bypassed in favour of tags, and more specifically just 'latest'.

"I have a job, it pays me well." That's probably what the majority of employees think. Even the SJW types there don't seem to care about these things.
You do. It's just not used for PAX, besides a few exceptions. Look for Class 1 Railroad on Wikipedia, and compare freight to passenger trackage.

It would have been useful if the writer added more historical context to this. In 1946, for instance, Orwell raised some of these points in his essay, "Politics and the English Language" [0].

FWIW, I knew a guy who was riding his bicycle on the sidewalk, technically going the "wrong" direction. He crossed a commercial business park driveway and got hit by a car who didn't see him, and got a lot of hassle from insurance because he was going the "wrong" way for that side of the street.

Looking back, that may have been the insurance company looking to skirt responsibility.
And now I need to listen to Loaded by Primal Scream. Thank you :)
>Making good products takes hard work and focus on users. Few people do this automatically. Most people only do it with sufficient incentive.

I know but how hard it would be for Google for example to crawl the web for audio content, index it and rank it. I can search for websites, images, videos etc. but not for audio? I could probably do it on a budget just like the guy from www.listennotes.com is doing it on a home budget for podcasts. Google has podcasts.google.com podcast search engine but audio is way broader than just podcasts.

Or how hard it would be for YouTube to add search to videos' comment section and to playlists. This seems so fundamental to YouTube and to company that says its mission is to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful.

I never worked as a product designer but I assume I could approach to my manager and ask him or her to do it and pull this off in a few months time.

Also this what I mentioned in the original post doesn't make any sense for YouTube not to have:

>Standardize both web version and mobile version; in web version on channel's page I can search channel for videos on mobile I can not.
If we want to end this we need to stop working on ads and SaaS, and start working on cyber security and disinformation networks.

I don't give much on the whole self optimization spiel. But I took the parts from Bullet Journal that worked for me. And added my own parts through trial and error.

Nowadays I do task management with pen and paper as I can only agree with the quote above. I have yet to find something faster or with less friction.
It's weird to say 'only' since I assume that a lot more went into this effort other than funding. There are a lot of initiatives that have a lot of funding, but little success. Either way, this result is certainly better than nothing, or waiting years/decades for public funding.
I used to live on Fagelstraat (the street quoted in the article), directly opposite this garage. Within 4 minutes you can walk to 2 different supermarkets which are open 8am-10pm each day.

I've used one of these services (Gorillas), and while it is amazingly fast with pretty decent pricing, I'm not convinced its filling a crucial in densely populated Dutch cities, due to already easy supermarket access.
Share accounts with others, widely. No reason not to unless you’re trying to build up some type of e-cred with your other account.
Copyright protections are really getting out of hand, and they are ridiculous:

Nothing to do with this example but today I decided to watch a documentary on my iPhone on Netflix app, which I rarely use on mobile. I liked a scene, took a screenshot to send to someone who might be genuinely interested in watching the documentary (which would even mean potential new customers for Netflix). The screenshot was blank. Then googled it to find it's on DRM grounds.

It takes one person to pirate and distribute a movie online to anywhere on Earth, yet these attempts block normal users from perfectly fair use.

Anyone who is going to pirate things will find a way anyway. Just like the Google example: the whole piracy detection system harms all the perfectly legal, fair use users while pirates have tons of other ways of distributing files anyway.

I wonder when this will end and copyright holders will understand that they're approaching this the wrong way.
We can do a risk profile for an email with a custom domain versus a gmail domain.

Do we need to differentiate between custom email domain with self-hosted mail server and custom email domain with gmail?

If I self-host the mail server then I’ll have a machine running on digital ocean or ec2 and this machine will accept connections from the Internet. I think this machine should be included in the assessment. So now the risk of a custom email domain depends on when/how I apply patches and how ssh access is configured?

I agree. I would say that the reason for using docker-slim should be motivated more by security considerations, than trying to reduce the overall image size. If you want to uphold the highest security, you would very regularly (e.g. every couple of days) invalidate the very first (or second layer), because you would be re-pulling the latest base image, and additionally run something like "apt-get update && apt-get upgrade".

So, in the end, using docker-slim does make image downloads (and container start-up time) _less_ efficient in those specific cases where you are releasing new images very often (e.g. daily, or even multiple times per day), assuming that the base image is released less often (e.g. weekly of monthly, as is e.g. the case for Python).
That's impressive to me. I got 4 on my first go, 6 on my second and I doubt I'll be going much higher without significant practice. I find it extremely hard and made several wrong atttempts in addition to being slow.
Oh yes. I hate async/await so much. If I could uninvent one thing in programming it would be async/await. I wrote async/await code in C# for about a year. I did really try to learn it. I invested a lot of time. I did read Stephen Cleary. It often made sense for a split second only to fade away immediately. Usually the software would work, but i didn't understand what was going on in my own code.

And others don't understand it either. Neither my code, nor the async/await concept. Stack overflow is filled with accepted answers that are just doing it wrong. This was part of the frustration. I did know enough to see that proposed idea was wrong, but didn't have a better idea. Most programmers don't even seem to understand that there is a difference between a C# Task<T> and a C++ Future<T>. I do. And it doesn't help one bit.

My lack of understanding is not for lack of trying. I'm interested in different paradigms in programming. I'm eager to learn new things. While I'm programming OOP on the job, i learned Haskell [1], Idris and Prolog on my spare time. I mean, i can actually programm in these. I think esp. learning prolog shows I have some flexibility in thinking when it comes to programming. I would consider myself an above average programmer, compared to my colleges.

But async/await is simply above my mental capacity. After 1 miserable year the of desperation with in C#, I quit my job and started a new C++ job in a new city. Life is good again. When this company adds async/await to their C++ (not yet in the language thankfully) I will quit again.

I can't even describe what i don't understand about this concept, so far out is it. I only remember the purely practical anecdote that i could make a WPF command execute async but it was well-nigh impossible to make canexecute async. While completely absurd, the actually problems where way more conceptual.

[1] Kind of ironic that everything in Haskell in async, i know. But it never got in the way there.
> But at least they will make some more money will doing so - and might even afford to save a buck or too, and eventually look elsewhere.

Yeah, I hope so. Maybe someone will come up with a better idea later.
I work with low power RF stuff. My gut feeling is RF transistors will run you about a dollar to fifty cents per watt. Notable though high power RF transistors are a niche product. So you might have a good discount if you ordered a million of them.

One advantage is if you can direct the RF energy you could cook TV Dinner and Airline meals without over or under cooking. Could use machine vision and bar code to select the program.

They need way fewer subsidies to be competitive with fossil fuel burners though since they are a lot cheaper. Furthermore no (almost no and no financially sustainable) green H2 exist so cars run with grey H2 which ruins car companies fleet emission profile (barely better than diesel) so they can't be sold in big numbers in Europe.

H2 burning motors like this one have even worse electricity to mile ratios then hydrogen fuel cells.
They are able to freeze assets suspected of being used to fund criminal activity. This only applies to the corporate accounts of the owners of the trucks and the millions of dollars raised by mostly US-based anti-vaxxers. If Antifa activists were to recieve 6 figures from mostly Chinese communists with the express intent to use those funds to cause economic damage, some of the commentators here might react differently.

Of course there have been ample warnings, including the handing out of leaflets detailing the unlawful offenses. Many people were ticketed and arrested at border crossing protests, including 11 members of a splinter group, in posession of 13 long guns, ammunition, body armor and hand guns.

The Ambassodor Bridge, accounting for ~30% of the cross-border land trade has since been cleared. The damage is estimated at above $500M. Damages at border crossings in Alberta and Manitoba have been estimated at 48 and $73M respectively.

This is something that you need to discuss with your manager or the tech lead on your team if there is one. Tell the manager that you would like to work on "main service" and would appreciate if you were assigned to sprint tickets related to that, once you start working on those tickets explore from there by asking further questions about the things you don't have context for. For a lot of other things you need to ask-

> Our team unsurprisingly works on one specific service, which is 90% black box to me because nobody has the time to introduce me to the domain.

I am sure atleast one person would be more than willing to do that if you asked, they might even appreciate getting an hour break from their usual grind.

> Dedicated devops team handles all infra/CI/CD, and I have no idea how and where the app is deployed, I only know we use k8s and docker for that.

Again, you need to ask. As someone committing code to your app, there is no reason for you to not know how and where the app gets deployed even if you are not handling the actual deployments. This is not even optional, someone on your team has to walk you through the process otherwise there is a latent background risk of there being an issue due to not understanding the context of the deploys or not knowing what to do when a change you make breaks something (and it will eventually).

I'm sort of the opposite.

I make sure that I can be found and attributed. I deleted my last anonymous account, a couple of years ago. In the Days of Yore, I was pretty much "Dick From the Internet." A real neckbeard troll.

There's a lot of reasons that I do it. The biggest, is that I want to be in control of my narrative. I learned from a couple of folks that are really good at curating their SEO results.

Also, these days (for a change), I'm pretty well-behaved. Doing it this way, helps to keep it that way.
Or if you've done things right that you don't want law enforcement to find out about, such as funding a protest.

But this is all hypothetical; evidently only one of the 30,000 people swept up in this dragnet had done anything with their account that would merit such attention: the single example of the (oddly, unnamed) cardinal with his possibly fraudulent London real estate transaction.
I actually think it's more like "supply elasticity." It gets easier/cheaper to create something and you get more of it--possibly at lower quality (as is generally the case here because there aren't any shortcuts to having good game mechanics).

Demand may or may not go up but, in any case, it's probably harder for the user to find the gems among all the clones and drek (and harder for the gems to gain attention).
The use-case isn’t video, it’s small icon-style color animations or animated pixel art (like the example in the article). It’s the same difference as between JPEG and PNG.
> Are you implying that automating it might somehow NOT be the most important innovation since the invention of penicillin

Do people really think self-driving cars are anywhere near the same class of benefit as penicillin, let alone the most important invention since then? Hell, if self-driving cars came out tomorrow, they wouldn't even be the most important innovation in the last two years (that would be the COVID vaccines).
I liked reading this. For me emacs with orgmode works better. Went from evernote to onenote, to tiddlywiki, mediawiki...to emacs.

Lol this is not true. Putting on shoes is not the hardest part of going for a run in the same way that sitting on a chair is not the hardest part about studying linear algebra.

Deep work requires deep focus which is itself taxing and of which we have finite amount of. Can't get more of it by just "sitting and staring".
How does that work? Lawyers and others can run searches and have for decades. This isn't anything new, except now you don't have to pay a lot of money.

Either it's private or it's not. Fake throttling that discriminates based one's ability to pay or suffer inconvenience is ridiculous. Not to mention, it's been decades since this information hasn't been available in this format.

An interesting question in the NSE case is whether this 'yogi' is an actual person or just an intelligent cover used by the then CEO to mislead the investigation on her irregularities. With the prime minister of India openly airing views that the physical appearance of one Hindu god is proof of face transplant, beliefs such as flying chariots, immunity from COVID by wallowing in cow dung and cow urine, etc enjoy a stamp of popular and political endorsement. A time where an explanation such as, "an yogi asked me to do so", would be politically and socially acceptable at all would be now.
You misunderstand. I am completely in favor of revolts.
I had a similar idea in a sibling post. But this only works if you basically have a secret alter ego which has nothing to do with your work/public persona, because otherwise they can match your favorite topics in those GPT-3 generated texts to your interests in real life, by factoring in also other little facts, like when you usually appear online, etc. It's probably enough to protect the average Joe but imho not enough to protect a targeted freedom activist, unless their activism is their alter ago and publicly they aren't known to be activists. Otherwise their every step is monitored in a typical dictatorship and it's not that hard for them to connect the dots who was the author of a certain message.
This would benefit from setting expectations. Maybe show the number of reps indexed below the search form, and a description. Or something that calls this a beta or work in progress.

You're not wrong, but most global databases work exactly like this. They just let you assign ranges of data to leaders, rather than doing it DB by DB.

Shopify uses exactly the same model we (Fly.io) do, it's a slightly more evolved version of what you're doing. They run leaders in multiple regions with read replicas scattered around, and then assign the most appropriate leader region to a store.

CockroachDB and Spanner let you move ranges of data to different "leaders" within the cluster. If you model your schema well, they work great. But you do have to worry that queries aren't spanning regions or you end up making everything slow.

The Fly.io magic is the proxy layer that replays entire HTTP requests to the leader region. It works surprisingly well. If your databases is even close to half reads and half writes, something similar may work nicely.

If Alice pings Bob first, and then sends the total round-trip time to Bob along with the timestamp, then can't Bob easily discover the asymmetry as a constant offset compared to the adjusted clock?

Say Bob assumes the round-trip is symmetrical and adjusts his local time to the time Alice sends minus half the round-trip time, then any asymmetry should be visible as a consistent offset between the local time and the time from Alice no?

This of course assumes the latency and local clocks are relatively stable over the measurement period.
I hope someone can reply to this and help me learn more about async/await in c#. I'm finding it confusing too, and I can't put my finger on why.
Linux part is perfecly valid IMO, though the rainforest was I think a bit deliberate exaggeration.
> That sounds way less awesome, when you consider it only had 256 colors, so allmost all content did indeed loose a lot, by converting to gif.

Nonlossy can be used for pixel perfect animations, lossy formats cannot.

It depends. For video, that is true. For user interface, any glitch is distracting. Using JPEG for user interface images like buttons is in most cases a bad idea. Each format is useful in different situations.

> I wanted to convert a short screencast to a gif, result: hundreds of megabyte big monster, with crappy quality.

You are right, that is not a use case for GIF or equivalent formats.
