They work pretty much the same way, so I think there shouldn't be a difference in regard to computer screens. As for the surroundings—I toyed with cycling glasses for a bit, which for some reason had amber-yellow plastic, and personally I prefer to just have yellow ‘evening’ lights in the rooms.

With cycling glasses, I had more of relaxing effect due to them keeping moisture on my eyes, instead of it being burned away by the winter heating.

Actually. No.

You need two differnt "widgets" to tango, not three.

Unless you say Sex A and Sex B together is a third sex Sex A+B. But that would only make sense if A+Bs were unique in the sense that they can only mate with other A+Bs. Then A+B would be a third sex. That's not the case, is it?

Put another way, sex is a property, not a class.

You're mathematically incorrect, unless you consider a typical worker saving 25% of their take-home "doing nothing".

A typical take-home for a month's work in US might be $3000. Cheaper rent could net you $300-$600 more, which is between 10-20% of your take-home. Not going to Starbucks every day, saving $5 a day let's say, works out to 5*30 = $150 bucks a month, a full 5% of the take-home pay.

Is 25% really nothing? Maybe you make so much money that $450 bucks a month isn't a big deal, but most people don't see the insidious nature of costly habits and how they're spending thousands per year on their quality of living.

> And it's just, OK now for us to be releasing stolen files from foreign governments ?

It's generally okay to release files stolen from our own government, though it is often illegal to steal them in the first place. But, yes, generally the main exceptions to that generality don't apply to foreign government files, so it's even more okay to release them.

"The median income in Switzerland is about $125k USD."

I don't believe this for a second and sure enough the first few sources produced by a google search show a far different situations. The Swiss office of Federal Statistics says the median income is 50,120 CHF per year which is $53,880 USD at current exchange rates. Even the top 10% of the country's earners are only in the mid $90k, nowhere near $125k.

If they use Godot completely out-of-the-box with no customization, then nothing. But the parent commented noted that they use it for their car visualization. If they made an internal fork to add in some performance tweaks, that would be the kind of thing that would benefit the community as a whole if it's upstreamed.

And maybe Godot decides those changes actually aren't useful to anyone else and disregards them. But they might be, and that's the key.
The point is they have experience, not they were good at it, unlike with selling chips.

This sounds great, I'd been thinking about creating something similar (I also have a project with Teensy 3.2/4.0, OctoWS2811 and CLion). Is there any chance you'd be willing to open source it?

Death to Bullshit, by Brad Frost
A few other scenarios:

In an interview I don’t want to be intimidating and feigning ignorance can give the candidate opportunity to shine. If they go deep, I can keep up and keep pushing, if they veer into bullshitting I can tell and gracefully conclude without offending anyone.

As a manager, not disclosing depth lets me ask stupid questions more frequently and in more contexts (for the benefit of others, for when I forget something or don’t understand something, as a Socratic teaching method, to help set the culture of asking questions, etc)

Playing dumb is also a good way to avoid responsibility if you hate something, too, if a bit passive aggressive.
It's also "physically impossible" for someone to gain access to a well configured IPSec endpoint, yet we still consider this a point of access that needs appropriate controls and security oversight. There are many, many ways that people collect key material to use to access tunnels to corporate networks. No matter how confident you might be in the technology, you should never provide an access point to a private network without full consideration of the security and compliance implications.

Perhaps the bigger issue though is that Tor at least used to be frequently used by botnets for C2, I'm not in a SOC environment any more so I'm not sure how much that trend has changed. But it's very common for corporate security programs to configure IDS to report on Tor traffic since it's associated with some sort of compromise a good percentage of the time. This does mean you get occasional false positives from normal Tor use to e.g. anonymously access public materials but that's life in a SOC. The point though is that most corporate environments ought to notice this kind of thing happening whether or not it's done with the approval of IT/security.
Hi Anne-Sophie and Vincent, excellent post and congratulations on the launch! My main question is about the growth factors; I've heard that there's a few compounds used in these processes that really don't scale, fetal bovine serum being the biggest one right now.

Thanks, best of luck!

Looks like NYC to me, it's rather close and right on the waterfront:

Which if what you say is true about the relative local prices, suggests these are above average prices for the era and still sub $2.
Agreed. But let's not be naive. Little has changed since circa 2007 / 08. The Fed is still goosing the market with low cost money. The stock market is erratic so perhaps real estate for some is safer?

Most people are foolish and greedy and blind.
Asking about prices normalizing is a different concern than affordability or availability. Do you regularly buy AND sell, flip cars, or are you concerned about regret after purchase when prices change?

Fortunately we have the market mechanism to fluidly adjust to this, weirdness can just flow through the system and cause trouble minorly and incrementally.

To address the question as asked:

Normalize? Welcome to weirding.

> What’s causing demand to be so high, and when might that go down, and what’s causing supply to be low, and when might that go up?

Geopolitical instability, from cutting back of American power projection, covid-19 slowdowns & supply-shock echoes, at least, all have a place. Hopefully global warming response movements, and walkable cities make the question less relevant.
When demand grows more, or inputs (including shipping) get cheaper (including more predictable, forecastable)
Ah I see. Postgres uses the word in the sense that it's used in the SQL spec, though, and it means pretty much what you're describing. The key difference is that I think you're talking about the human-readable file (which in the SQL world is written in SQL DDL), whereas the standard means it as closer to being the internal/runtime representation of that "shape/structure of data".

It's helpful to think of "the database" as the actual physical storage, and the schema is what the db uses to make sense of how to manipulate/query that data. From that perspective, the SQL DDL is scripting language to manipulate those schema objects ("objects" in the OOP sense, "schema objects" has an actual specific meaning in SQL).
Stuff like this just gives credence to the farcical notion that crypto is reputable.

Object Orient Programming was all the rage in my teens.

I had some hardships understanding the concept. I used and liked Pascal. Turbo Pascal 6 & OOP - not the most elegant combo. Managed to grasp how it worked: imagine the entire method surrounded by "with" (with in javascript does the same) - I looked at the assembly and the virtual method dispatch and it all became super clear and obvious. Pretty much learned OOP by looking at the disassembled code compiled with Turbo Pascal.

It’s definitely not an attack on automation.

The value in this case would be to identify types of jobs and the various red flags around them. Some BS jobs actually have a lot of, pointless, work attached to them. You would want to avoid these.

Within the nomenclature of the book, some Flunkie jobs would be what you are looking for. Others not so much.

While the book is very poetic, and very funny, the most useful part for you, I surmise, would be the descriptions supplied to the author as part of his research. Lots of stories where the job in question had no real activities associated with them other than keeping a low profile. One in particular, a municipal water worker, who was systematically being deprived of duties by rival factions managed to stop showing up for work for several years, yet stayed on the payroll for several years unnoticed.

There apparently some unwanted notoriety and legal action towards the end of his tenure. Avoiding this may be considered an exercise for the student/reader...
What kind of institional investors do you work with? I feel like the return threshold can be quite high for private credit firms and I don't believe traditional banks can support this kind of debt structure. Excluding the angels, I think the LPs behind this can create some issues.

Hm. Good discussion. But pedantically, I take issue with the 'a few thousand files' on one computer estimation.

My computer has around a million and a half files. Just in the host OS. Then the various VMs have their part of a million files each.

Just makes the problem bigger I suppose.

Great feedback, thank you. From what I can gather, the biggest differences between Kable and Saasify are the target market and core focus. Where Saasify is focused on micro SaaS projects, Kable is aimed at helping the growing population of API-first businesses. And from a core focus perspective, where Saasify is focused on a wide range of developer needs (user accounts, marketing sites, documentation, etc), Kable is focused on the core elements of an API business: authentication, metrics, and billing. But there's definitely a good amount of similarity here, and I love to meet folks building in a similar space.

Problem is that there are a lot of half-truths embedded in pro-russian media outlets and many things that, how false they may be, seem to be their genuine viewpoints. I think it would be better to engage with that stuff and separate the half-truths from the lies instead of simply hiding everything away.

I was actually surprised that you can query across databases in MySQL, but that makes sense once you understand that there's only one database and the "databases" are just schemas.
You know you can already write doc comments in Javascript code. It doesn't require changing the language. IntelliJ parses these comments when providing code insight.

Yet in my entire career I have found that I am the only dev that writes these comments. I use to think this was just JS devs but I have found C#, Java, and indeed Typescript projects that I work on to be sorely lacking in comments of any kind. So, how does this adding complexity to the language standard change this?

It really is an amazing phenomena. Effectively atoms of tin are moving from the tin out to the end of the whisker. We spent a week talking about whiskering(sp?) in my materials science class at USC because it was such a big deal in the EE world.

Prior to that class my world view was that only electrons could travel through metal, only to find that metal can travel through metal too!

Locally at NASA Ames they had an experiment where they had a bunch of different assemblies being exposed to various conditions (high electric fields, non-ionizing radiation, etc) and one of the things they were measuring was the production of whiskers and other changes in material properties (strength, toughness, Etc.). Always amazing what we know and what we don't know about what we know.
> I have not given transformers enough attention...

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Most of the comments here seem to have the same basic misconception. They think it is possible to act without bias. This is simply not possible -- even algorithms have bias.

For example, machine learning based on a human dataset will learn the human biases. This is well documented.

Instead of aiming for no bias -- it is better to explicitly outline one's biases, as well as how one is responding to those biases (or not).

The unfortunate situation, is that companies like DuckDuckGo, Google, etc, would like you to believe that they present "unbiased" results, despite the literal impossibility of this. Much better to make any and all biases explicit, so that nobody is deceived.
1. The jury should not base their decision on their belief whether either side is lying.

2. The defence is expected to lie, and if the prosecution cannot prove that every single one of the defence's arguments are lies, then the jury cannot convict beyond reasonable doubt.

3. The jury should assume that the prosecution is lying by default, and acquit if the prosecution does not convince them otherwise.

Your web app is probably burning a lot of unnecessary render cycles as a side effect of this behavior as well
I used to think the same as you. I'm no longer convinced.

The "afterburn" effect is, as far as I can tell, fairly minimal, on the order of 10s of calories per day only.

As for body composition, while it's true that your "calories out" increases if you add muscle, the increase is, again, negligible. Just plug in higher bodyweight numbers into TDEE calculators and see how little difference it makes. (Though they undershoot it a bit, IMO, because they don't assume that all the weight gained was muscle... it's still fairly small).

The only way to lose weight is to make sure you eat less than you burn. For most people, that means eating less, and possibly adding in a bit of exercise.

> The shape and structure of your data is always defined within a schema

Maybe we're already agreed on this, but for clarity my point is that the common notion of a schema is strictly "the shape of the data" and not "a container for the data, the shape of the data, and a bunch of other stuff". I agree that this latter definition is probably shared across many relational databases and not just Postgres.

It might be slightly easier to use sshguard instead of fail2ban for protecting against ssh attacks.

Using passwordless (key only) login is a given.

As soon as your server is provisioned, log in with the password, first setup ssh, and disable password login.

You can use fail2ban jails for different services (like nginx). You need to decide how strict you need to be.

On FreeBSD, using blacklistd might also be a better idea than using fail2ban.

To quote from the internet - "fail2ban and sshguard are both log scrapers. Log scrapers are gross hacks.
blacklistd as an integrated solution is what should have
happened many years ago."

FreeBSD jails also provide excellent protection. It can be a good idea to run each service in its own jail. E.g. a separate jail for nginx, one for your webserver, another for your db servers. This way you can also limit the resources that are allocated/dedicated to each jail.

Also, while running pf (or whatever firewall you have), you can limit the number of requests (rate limiting) to somewhat protect yourself.

Using Cloudflare or something else on the front can help against ddos. Also, some providers like OVH and Hetzner have ddos protection built in for free. Some like Vultr have it as a paid service, iirc.
No doubt lots of relational database software share this quirk.
