Correct. We see less security issues w/ distro packages because they have better best practices, do more curation, and generally have more specialized xp doing this sort of thing.

Cheapest GPU Cloud Provider
Hi hacker news, so I'm working on a project where I'd like to basically run an application 24/7. 24/7. But this is a graphically intensive application so I will need to have a GPU for whatever server I've run this on.

Amazon is an option I'm very familiar with, however it's very expensive. An EC2 server with a GPU is something like $50 a month.

Ideally, I'd like to get this down to $10 a month. I don't really plan to make money here, but I think this would be an awesome project.
PJ O'Rourke was my first into to a feeling that I've become more familiar with over the years - "liberal cringe"

I still count myself as a liberal (more classical than modern) these days but I can't help but view a lot of standard progressive empty promises through an O'Rourke-ian lens.

It's called Kotlin.

Of course this is a relatively minor feature and few C-like or ML-like languages have it. Using it against Smalltalk is a bit unfair.
The article calls out the TJ admissions policy, which was explicitly race-blind and did not lower the bar for anybody else.
I found this part interesting:

> Google Fonts can also be used by the defendant without a connection to a Google server is established and the IP address of the website user is transmitted to Google

So they're saying that because a user is allowed to self host the fonts, they should (and presumably then there is no legitimate reason anymore to 'transmit the IP address to google' ?)

Would Google Fonts then be in the clear if they deny you the right to selfhost so that the only way to use it is letting users fetch them from Google?

The First Open-Source War
Although he was mainly conservative, O'Rourke was a popular iconoclast with respect to both major U.S. political parties. That you could read him in the Washington Post and also find him on an NPR show like Wait, Wait, Don't Tell me points to a time seemingly in the distant past when the U.S. wasn't so politically entrenched and polarized. If you didn't agree with what he said, it was still easy to enjoy his writing and find truth in it.

Not sure there is any comparable figure today that comes to mind.

Last week I enjoyed listening to a rebroadcast of his appearance on James Altucher's podcast: https://jamesaltucher.com/podcast/pj-orourke/
Would .env files not have worked? Your script generates a .env, with a static docker-compose.yml

The Gold Box series of licensed D&D RPGs from SSI back in the early '90s actually did this quite well—you could create characters at level 1 in the first game in the series, and import them into each subsequent game intact except for the loss of a couple of game-specific magic items, all the way through the fourth entry (in the case of the Forgotten Realms series; the Krynn series only had 3 entries, but worked basically the same).

But this wasn't just the same company, it was, with some incremental modifications, the same game engine, and by the time the last entries came out, it was showing its age. There's no way you could have taken, say, a character—or even an item—from a completely different game like Ultima VI and turned it into an NFT that could then be added seamlessly into SSI's Secret of the Silver Blades. The two games, despite both being RPGs that came out the same year, are just so completely different that it wouldn't make any sense even if Origin and SSI did want to collaborate on making that possible.

> the cookies claim is a tell that you spend a lot of time consuming Russian propaganda

It's not a claim, there's video of her doing it. So "Russian propaganda" means a video of a US assistant of secretary of state handing out cookies in the Maidan Square where the Azov battalion etc. were overthrowing the elected Ukrainian government.

Do you have a source for this? It doesn't match my recollection. As I recall, the Go team always said that they may add generics in the future, but also that they would also like to see compelling use cases for it. That is not an unreasonable request.
I used Hugo for a while and remember their documentation and ultimately the implementation itself was confusing, which then resulted in an overly complex data structure that was hard to modify. Also tried a few other static site generators before just writing my own with python+markdown+jinja+etc.
Shared source that becomes truly open source after 5 years. This means that if the company managing the source code does really poorly someone else can fork it commercially, but only the version from 5 years ago. This protects users in the cases the managing company goes out of business, or goes evil, but still lets them put in arbitrary commercial restrictions.

The difficulty is definitely an overstatement. It can be rendered trivial with in-game options, the right build, co-op. The quality that these games have is forcing players to be tactful. It's not a mindless affair, but it doesn't require fast reflexes either to excel either.

However, ways to approaching the game are unclear at the outset and they don't hold your hand either, which is a double-edged sword. There is value in discovering things through trial and error or communication with other players, though on the other hand if reading a starter guide drastically improves first-time experience then the games could benefit from better direction. I see that Elden Ring has implemented more guidance, though the open-world nature has created another confusion. You have to kind of enjoy not knowing where to go exactly. But the option to read a guide is there.

Someone made the puzzle game analogy and I think that works. There's always talk about whether an easy mode would be appropriate: would one also demand that puzzle games hold your hand through every puzzle effectively solving it for you? It would miss the point.
My immediate reaction was pong + flappy bird. I think the execution, engagement and yes, frustration, matches your intended goals, so good job!
That already happened. Cookiebot (Danish) was fined for using Akamai CDN.

Ukraine's tech community rises to challenges of war
There are several studies and analysis about waste in the US healthcare system. This one gives a great overview and summarizes several other studies as well.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31589283/

The waste usually comes down to (1) variation in clinical approaches, like a heart patient being treated differently by several different doctors, (2) administrative inefficiency, such as transposing from paper or using fax machines, and not working collaboratively, (3) abuse and fraud, like we saw in the news recently.

Here’s another one along the same lines about clinical variation

Sphinx has a nice facility for blending "Javadoc" style documentation with discursive explanations which is used to great effect in the Python docs, but used that way it doesn't automatically generate all of the automatically generatable documentation the way Javadoc does so often you end up with lots of content missing.
Typically what they do is pay one time for a particular "case". So if you came into the doctor's office consecutively for the same symptoms for a week straight, they'd treat that as an episode of care and pay it as if it's one visit.

Another strategy is to pay a flat rate for seeing a patient. So if they come in once or come in 20 times that month, they get paid the same.

For hospitals what they like to do is pay only on discharge events. So again if you had a 9 day stay vs a 2 day stay, it's the same. They particularly like this because the third party hospitalists and all outpatient care have a difficult time getting the discharge data out of the hospital system resulting in many denials from the payers.

This is by no means an exhaustive explanation of "value" based care.
I wonder where the line is drawn? If you set up AWS CloudFront, does that count as third party? Or is this taking us back to colo / in-house data centers?
If that’s the context, then what point is the statement trying to make?

The addition of the code and the slapping of the price tag has no bearing whatsoever on copyleft compliance, and that you have to redistribute the source of the combined work along with the binary under a compatible license is just calling water wet.
What a great thing you do, heh.

Yes, I'm from Russia, too. I've got several 2nd level domains in .com, .net, .org and .info, and I'm used to use services from registrars like namecheap, actually I was using namecheap for a couple of years in the past. What I never did is, well, I never used these .ru and .su, it is obvious local government can do anything to 2lds under these tlds. BTW, it is much much simpler to run a site, or whatever, under these tlds when you're in Russia, you can pay in local currencies, you've got consumer rights protection, you don't need to understand English (yes, many people here don't understand English), etc. Pro-putin people mostly go this way, why they would do anything else. If you're "patriotic" (in that special putin's sense) you wouldn't prefer services provided by foreigners over those available locally in Russia.

Who do use your (or other registrars like you) services are those who don't want to enable putin's secret police to shut down their sites. In fact I doubt you can find a single pro-putin russian among your customers. Those pro-putin brain-washed "patriots" mostly don't speak English and (heh, yes) don't fully understand what is DNS how the domain names work.

The people you strike at -- your customers from Russia -- are mostly those who protest against the war and get arrested by putin's police. And as of now, with all the sanctioning mess, many of them have difficulties with their bank cards, and those who only have their bank accounts in the local currency, also have to pay the transfer fees at horrifying conversion rates.

Great shot guys.

Fortunately enough, I left your services and went to another registrar several years ago.
I received my F77 "New Model F" Keyboard at the end of last year, and I'm using it regularly. I ordered it in July of 2017, over 4 years before! Even back then there was a fake order "deadline" being updated every single month, and I agree that is the dumbest part of this project. I think it's a way of saying "I can't promise I won't raise prices from pre-order to retail level at the end of the month" but yeah it's still really dumb, especially over years.

But I knew the nature of the project before I ordered. It isn't for everyone, truly not a mass-market product. It's like $400 total, and you may still have some manual tweaking to do (e.g. I had to adjust my spacebar stabilizer wire). Also, I didn't really mind many of the delays due to relatively fanatical part/supply/manufacture quality control. All the info about the nature, history, and timelines of the project are publicly available, you just need to dig through years of updates and deskthority forum posts yourself, it's a bit scattered.

One other note, the firmware situation is also a bit scattered, not particularly well organized and summarized quite yet (and weird paragraph/list formatting and broken links on the official website) but I was able to find what I wanted to customize and build firmware just to my liking.

FWIW I'm happy with my F77 compact.
> Because the total size of the Ukraine armed forces of allservekces is smaller than the Russian + Belarusian land forces deployed against them, not to count the supporting air and naval forces, where Ukraine is outnumbered by more than an order of magnitude.

The ukranian army is 250000 strong, there are less than 200000 russians in ukraine. What does army size have to do with anything. Smaller armies have fought larger armies all the time.

> People can't be relied on to just go back to their lives when a hostile foreign occupation is imposed, even if the regular forces of the preceding government are comprehensively defeated.

Ukraine : Russia != Iraq : US. Ukraine is ethnically, religiously, militarily, historically, etc tied with russia. Iraq has nothing to do with the US. Until just 8 years ago, russia and ukraine was intertwined. Yes, if saudi arabia or turkey invaded ukraine, I would expect a massive insurgency. Was there a massive insurgency after the union beat the confederates? Of course not, because we were the same people.

> Just like no country stepped in to fight the USSR (or the US) in Afghanistan.

Sarcasm?

> And neither of the armies involved in that had the degree of morale and logistical problems the Russian Army has displayed thus far in Ukraine.

Right. Because they ghost of kiev is terrorizing them right? You are literally restating intelligence propaganda. It's standard propaganda during war to portray the enemy has low morale. The russians are saying the same thing about the ukranians and the west.

People just cling to propaganda that matches their agenda. The first casualty in war is truth. I would stop believing all the propaganda and just think about what's happening rationally.
>A DAW session is like notes for writing a book. Not everything is going to make it in, and the choice of what does make it from the notes to the book, and how it's changed, is quite intentional. And I, personally, don't consider a book to be "lossy" or "unauthentic" because it doesn't also come with all the author's notes.

Yeah, not really.

In music, for starters, a DAW session is like the recording reels from the analog days. And artists, producers, and studios go back to those reels a lot, for many reasons: to later clean up, rebalance, and release a "remastered version", to adapt to a new format (e.g. Apple/Dolby's spatial audio or some 5:1 surround mix), or simply to give individual parts to collaborators to make a remix of the track, or even just for the artists themselves to plunder it for parts to reuse in later works.

What your comment misses is that we're talking about the author here, not the reader.

The author (or in the DAW session case, the producer/artist) is the one who would be having the original format, and have a choice to keep their stuff as a ProTools session or wav stems, or as a text file or some proprietary format.

So while you "personally, don't consider a book to be "lossy" or unauthentic because it doesn't also come with all the author's notes.", the author would indeed be furious if we needed his notes and couldn't open them because he wrote his first book+notes in some editor/format since discontinued, and he now only has the final printed or ebook text.

>On a more technical note, underneath the hood, the recorded items are all stored as .wav files too...

Which is neither here nor there regarding the things I've mentioned as lost (e.g. the fx chains used with their settings for re-toggleability, sequenced notes, automation curves, and so on), and is also not generally true across DAWs, depends on the DAW whether they'd use some proprietary format.

>I'm seeing estimates of 120-150k Russian troops deployed in Ukraine from sources like the Ukrainian government and the Pentagon. Outside of Russian propaganda, the estimates range from 10-12k range for Chechen fighters. The 10k number came from Chechen leadership. These numbers don't support the notion that Chechens are doing the bulk of the fighting or dying in Ukraine.

There's a 10:1 ratio of logistical units to front line fighters for any modern military. The Chechen units are 100% light infantry.
Fourth and last one made it to Bukarest, Romania again at UTC 16:20, while the first one just entered northern Iran on its way back home.

C is also a relatively simple procedural language which constrains the APIs that e.g. GTK can offer. This makes working with GTK in its native platform uglier than Qt, but does mean alternative bindings can build their own more ergonomic abstractions on top of it.

Qt on the other hand is very much a C++ OOP style, so if there's an impedance mismatch representing that in your language, as is the case for Rust, C or Go, then it gets much harder to do. The C++ bindings do present difficulty of course, but you can see from e.g. PyQT that if the pattern works in your language it's one that can be overcome.
No, most countries require you to declare any currency over a threshold ($10k in US, 10k EUR in EU, I think). And they may take an interest in what you're doing. But you're generally allowed to do it.

As the operator of a US-based site (and a rookie), what is the easiest way for me to deal with this? I'm thinking:

- block EU traffic on a CDN level, or perhaps setting up a geoblock in nginx

- ban EU citizens in the T&C on my site

I'm not targeting European customers, so no need to worry about their rules. I just don't want to break a law inadvertently and get in trouble later.

EDIT: the EU has every right to legislate whatever privacy regulations they want. I just don't target EU citizens. But if an EU citizen comes to my site somehow, I'm currently breaking the law over there; I don't want this to ever happen.
The article calls out the TJ admissions process as discriminatory.

The activists that are regularly called racist against asians proposed exactly this policy. It was called a "merit lottery" and worked by setting a GPA lower bound and then admitting students randomly if they had a GPA of at least that level. This policy was ultimately seen as "too extreme" and non implemented but it saw its fair share of "lefties hate asian success" and proponents were even called "enemies of excellence" by Scott Aaronson.
