> Do I need a load balancer? That’s nginx on a droplet

Multiple droplets and a keepalived/haproxy on each one if you don't want a Single Point Of Failure in your infra, being the load balancer.

> A database? That’s mysql on a droplet

And another one for backups, making sure your first droplet has 2 network interfaces, one used by your application, the other one used by your backup procedure so that it does not create too much latency.

Also, potentially multiple droplets if you want your database to be highly available so that you avoid yet another SPOF in your infra.

What you propose is fine for small needs, but it does not scale well unfortunately. I'd still recommend to keep things simple and avoid premature optimization though.

In my case, my production infrastructure runs on a k8s provided by DigitalOcean with one of their load balancer (provided by a k8s Service of type LoadBalancer). I have a droplet running a single-node k8s provided by k0s[0] for testing purposes.

I have a terraform to create the cluster and configure the DNS, then I developed klifter[1] (based on ansible) and klander[2] to provision my cluster via Github Actions.

> No, that battle is lost. Cashless is easier and more convenient.

Incorrect, the battle is partly won in several U.S. cities (including NYC & SF) which passed laws to mandate acceptance of cash.

However, cash-acceptance laws were mostly motivated by the unbanked, who are now being used to justify the introduction of nation-state CBDCs. China's CBDC is two-tier and preserves retail bank competition. People close to the current admin have proposed a 1-tier CBDC that would eliminate retail banks from payment processing, perhaps relegating them to fintech data processors.

The long-term answer is both: encourage bearer currency (cash, precious metals, zero-knowledge crypto) to anchor one edge of the Overton window with an existence proof of freedom from surveillance and kill switches, AND impose regulation on digital systems to enforce constitutional rights. 99% cashless doesn't work for tyranny, because there are escape valves. We can and must defend those exceptions, while "digital due process" is slowly constructed.

Remember when e-commerce was not subject to sales tax? For more than a decade, the playing field was not level. Today, large websites are almost unusable for buying popular items at risk of counterfeiting, and there is little online price advantage over Main Street. If you have access to a local branch of Japanese bookstore Kinokuniya (https://usa.kinokuniya.com), it's a joyful 3D curated experience vs. the chore of navigating an online bookshop with questionable reviews. The online-offline playing field is now less tilted.

Today, cashless proponents are free-riding on digital data streams whose originators lack the infrastructure for licensing or negotiation. Competition for those data streams (which feed into AI for economic advantage) is coming from {nation,city,multi}-state regulators, corporate payment networks {Apple,Amazon,Google}Pay and DRM infrastructure for data originators.

The free data ride in cashless systems, like sales tax holidays, is coming to an end.

I just never cared about their arbitrary deadlines. Idgaf. It's on them if they want the world for the few pennies they are investing in this (never worked in a properly funded project). Also at some point I became an actual marxist leninist communist so aftar that it's not even remote likely I'll care how the bussiness is doing.
Good one, but IMO a bit too expensive for the specs.

I recently got a new laptop with Ryzen 5 5600U, 32GB RAM, and 2TB SSD. The laptop is HP ProBook 445 G8. RAM and SSD were sold separately, the upgrade only took 10 minutes and 6 screws. I paid less than €1000 including the upgrades.

The laptop is comparable to the Framework professional they offer for €2280. AMD CPU is better, 15442 versus 11036 points of cpubenchmark.net (that’s 6 cores versus 4). Surprisingly, Intel GPU is better, 2 versus 1.6 TFlops FP32. RAM amount is the same, AMD has twice the SSD storage.

The only large downside is the display, my laptop has 16x9 1080p 14” IPS, the Framework has more pixels and 3x2 aspect ratio.
By "careful" I mean avoiding unnecessary use or the temptation of capturing "everything." All too often I see people get enamored with it or fall into the trap of following patterns popular in other, slower, languages.

This is exactly what they did in Russia. If you consistently punish 100% of dissidents, you will end up with a large number of people that have nothing to lose, that will unite against you.

If you instead make it clear that anyone demonstrating dissent would face a low (but non-negligible) chance of disproportionally severe consequences, most people will shut up and comply.

Ironically, this is what terrorists do. They don't try to physically kill every citizen in the affected area, instead they demoralize the public by making them accept the fact that the next random bombing could be near their house.

Things like due process, burden of proof and separation of branches of power were not invented our of nowhere.
If Massachusetts says you owe money, they must accept cash. That's the point of cash being "legal tender", you cannot refuse it if someone is trying to settle a debt. That said, it might be really hard to figure out how to pay in cash.
I'm pretty competent/qualified to tinker with my Linux, but I still much prefer a "just works" approach too. I think most in the community do. I don't want a "Just works because everything is hyper-locked down" but that's a much different thing IMHO.

Fortunately most distros have gotten to where we are. Fedora works amazingly well OOTB on so much hardware, and I've heard great things about Pop and other popular distros.

He mentioned his next PC. So I suggested that he could run linux on the current one? Of course, could also just install linux instead.
My old boss worked on the PC port of Dead Space 3.

He actually did spend significant effort optimising his shaders to get good performance on PC, but an Nvidia driver update would silently replace some of his code with hardware-optimised shaders they'd written themselves (similar to how Windows 95 had a hard-coded fix for Sim City).

This was never advertised publicly, and the only reason he found out was because he debugged the executable and noticed his shaders were never actually being executed.
> Democracy is undermined by populism

Populism is democracy. That's what anti-populists hate about it: the idea that a simple majority can get its way.
All behavioral and "personality" traits are partly heritable and most (all?) of them are due to many genes of small effects. This is a very general and solid result of behavioral genetics, <<the modern idea that "you can do anything if you just try hard enough">> is made with people who have no clue about the realities of life and speak because they can. It has the same intellectual value as "love will find you."

Although personalities tend to be sticky throughout life, that some people can substantially change their personalities is also quite obvious to anyone with (figuratively) open eyes.
Thanks Dr Hipp for your response!

Love all things you make (fossil, lemon, SQLite).

While you’re here, I can’t state how much I’d love to see SQLite to push more into client server use cases (Eg WAL2, BEGIN CONCURRENT, etc) I get it might be cleaner to spin that off into its own separate offering. But having something like bedrock but officially from you would be fantastic.

Wow the libertarian tech bros are really coming out in force on this one.

Unlike in the US, most Canadians are okay with trading some small freedoms for the greater good.

As a Canadian I have no problem with these power being used in this extreme case. After three weeks of occupying downtown Ottawa with the demand that the government be dismantled, they are no longer peaceful protesters. They are a group trying to remove a democratically elected western government. It makes perfect sense that funding for a group like that (a terrorist group) would be blocked.

I am glad that unlike the US, Canada is not allowing the far right to operate unimpeded. Homegrown right wing extremism is a growing problem in the US and is spilling over into Canada (Thanks Facebook) and I’m happy to see it being put down in this small way.
It is absolutely the case that drivers contain code to fix errors or optimize away mistakes made in top tier games. This is well-known and often can be demonstrated by renaming the game binary or making other changes. Sometimes this happens with the blessing of the game company, and sometimes it doesn't.

Or, sometimes GPU folks will send a team over to help the game studios fix performance issues during their development.

There are some studios who push the envelope and make beautifully optimized games. There are many, many more who ineptly cobble together components and make something that runs well-enough.
We enquired about Timescale Cloud, to migrate from Cloud SQL as we could use it to solve a couple of problems in a simpler way and give us a chance to create other solutions when needed. We don't have anything in time series yet but were hoping to have it there to experiment and start dipping our toes but found it a bit expensive.

The pricing seemed more of an all or nothing investment and didn't make sense if we weren't ready to start using the extra functionality just yet. Was hoping that it would be similar to Cloud SQL and just cost extra depending on usage.

You are definitely right about that.

I tend to work on apps that do not rely heavily on Google Play Services. BUT I should also add that this CalyxOS phone and an /e/ foundation phone I have, are 2 of about 10 Android phones of varying manufacturers and SDK levels which I am constantly rotating thru while developing. I like to make sure I am testing my stuff on a broad array of Android devices, including non-google ones. I certainly wouldn't recommend that anyone use a non-google Android phone for _all_ dev purposes when targeting mainline Google Android phones.

I should also note that MicroG[0] attempts to solve this problem, with admittedly mixed results, but I have positive feelings about its future.

Yeah the Economist is pretty well known to be neoliberal. Which is fine… I subscribe and it’s a pretty good source if you understand that.

> For most of my use cases, I don't really care about rootless.

See, and in almost all of my use-cases, I really do. I do HPC computing, which is almost always a multi-tenant environment. This makes using Docker really hard to use, security wise. Unfortunately, more and more software/workflows are getting distributed as Docker containers (for very good reasons). This makes my life difficult. So, if I can set it up so that users can more easily work with containers on my HPC compute nodes, I'd be very happy. If the defacto solution ends up as podman (and rootless), then I'm happy.

(Yes, I use Singularity too, but it would be nicer to be able to not have to convert containers).

Now, I do very little with networking and containers, so those types of requirements... I don't care as much about. But I know that is a big feature set for a lot of people here.
Nope :-) That's another product :-D
Wordle Hints
Thoughts?

I made a tool to give hints on wordle.
The way it works is that you copy your wordle results and it gives you suggestions on the possible words
once you type the word you tap on the letters to change the color between:
Unknown
Incorrect
Misplaced
Correct
Then the app tells you how many possible words are left and gives you a suggestion for your next word.
That, or, if you're looking at a single json response body...

A couple things, a lot of which boils down to them actually having journalists on staff who go out and research stories in person. A lot of digital outlets are just regurgitating Associated Press articles with little/no value add.

1) Breadth of coverage. The Economist is much more of a world magazine. When I scan Google News I get basically no Africa coverage. The economist has a section for it.

2) Depth of coverage. The Economist will have journalists reporting on location in places like China and India. They get direct interviews with people who are experiencing the phenomenon being reported on. I rarely if ever see that kind of reporting on Google News, especially not behind a paywall.

3) Better coverage of "slow burn" stories. e.g. There's a lot of interesting stuff happening in Africa right now with infrastructure development. China has its big Belt and Road initiative that's more or less forced western governments to present a viable alternative or get boxed out. The west has bungled the response, and China is now dominant in financing new infrastructure projects throughout Africa. It will likely reap benefits for decades, both in economic and military positioning. There's no one "story" here to make a headline that would bubble up in Google News, but it's a really fascinating ongoing geopolitical saga.

4) Hitting interesting angles on stories. Last week there was an article about Russian troop buildup around Ukraine, but they wrote it from the angle of civilian surveillance technology. By stitching together private satellite imagery, TikTok and YouTube footage they were able to tell that troops that were ostensibly "withdrawn" had just been redeployed to other positions closer to the front. Using dash-cam footage posted to TikTok they were able to even identify specific armored divisions being moved up to the border. So I got a piece of current news (Russia is lying about its troop deployment), plus a piece of insight (in modern warfare citizens can learn about military movements without it being filtered through government entities).

5) This is not specific to the Economist, but the print format is so much nicer for me than digital. There's no temptation to check my email, or see what's on Hacker News (hah), or get drawn down some random digital rabbit hole.

> The larger form factor enterprise drives, which are maybe 25% more expensive, have PLP capacitor banks.

I wonder if there would be a market for a small board that contains the capacitors and passes the signals down to a M.2 female connector. The physical disconnect would probably help with the temperature as well (and the board could come with its own heatsink).
You really missed the point. Only a small number of people directly involved with the convoy had this happen to them. Regular donors are fine.
It’s interesting that your anecdote lined up so well with the example from the OP about people claiming that the metrics didn’t change much. Though those people were then giving ‘supporting’ examples that support the opposite of their statement. It may be that the person you talked to worked on eg play strategy which could have been affected totally differently from scouting.
I think the alerts would have to be at a higher level hierarchy than plain URLs or domains.

I'm imagining a categorized whitelist of domains based on purpose (essential, telemetry, ads) which the user would choose from at first run, and the program would just block the other domains without asking again and again.

The (potential) overhead lies with 'ctx' of course. The lambda syntax makes it all too easy to forget about it.
Whilst Steam has invested a lot in R&D they also managed to secure it as a requirement to play several key titles throughout its first years.

And I’m not even talking about Counter Strike: Source, quite a few other influential titles including CoD:MW2 required steam for play on PC.
I'd say the bigger issue isn't being allowed to use a third-party SSO, the issue is having the option to not use the third-party's SSO. We see enough horror stories about the impact of being locked out of a Google account.
> For a very long time, Netflix was the go-to place for any movies, and piracy was on the decline.

In the US, maybe? Because here in Europe Netflix or any other streaming service has never been the go-to place for _any_ movie. You get to watch what they offer today, but if you want a specific movie, tough luck.

Steam is the place to be for 99.9% of PC gaming, anywhere in the world. This is why gaming piracy is pretty much dead while people are still downloading movies and tv shows to this day.

WCC has a habit of using really awful contractors. So the impact of FM Conway (only seen them do road work) should not be underestimated.

However based on this article "The idea was to make the area simultaneously green, smart, and sustainable."
These are just buzzwords put together, it means nothing. WCC seems like didn't know what they wanted so they went over to these guys with buzzwords check list. And mvrdv just accepted the project for whatever reason (I'm sure good reasons) where they should have asked way more questions to understand what these guys actually wanted.
Not the poster, but I concur that things weren't all that different in 2017. I would say that OP's reaction is caused by selectively remembering the state of the world. Living in the environment where mass media is ubiquitous, you don't quite realize just how bad things are or the negative effects it has on people. You only become aware of that after being removed from it for a period of time (e.g. being in prison) and then getting reintroduced to it.

> When working with one employer in a city that is not known as a tech hub, Dyba felt that she had to chip away, carefully, at the company’s insistence for on-site workers; one position had been open for six months. Dyba started showing the hiring manager the credentials for someone she’d found, but omitted a crucial detail. If the employer was interested, then and only then did she reveal that the talent was based in Florida or Boston. “I had to kind of say, ‘Listen, it’s costing more money right now for us to keep this job open than it would be for you to send someone a laptop and coach your leadership team differently about how to manage remotely,’” she said. She believes the hiring manager raised the issue with the chief executive; slowly, someone with decision-making power came around, and Dyba was able to start filling positions. When the pandemic ebbs and local workers are back in that office, 15 to 20 percent of its work force will be remote. The market rather than Dyba changed the company’s workplace culture — a market of empowered technology workers who could pick and choose their employers, who could take or leave any job they wanted and were forcing a shift.

If the government had stopped at halting the horns, very few people would object, and even then not seriously. A lack of a horn does not prevent a protest.

But that's not what Canada did, is it? They not just remove the protest they froze bank accounts of supporters. That's not democracy. That's a government very very threatened by the protest.

If Canada does not wipe the slate clean and vote away every single politician who was culpable in this, then Canada is not the place it's been advertised to be.
