GDAL binary [0] uses a traditional C/C++ linked library architecture, and is extensible with plugin drivers; the memory model is therefore "local". A cloud architecture uses distributed resources.

Secondly, GDAL is tightly bound to Proj [1] for reprojecting spatial coordinates data from one spatial reference system (SRS) to another. The "sphere" libraries imply no generalized spatial reference, instead only a single spherical one.

Yup, exactly: And then there is a huge stink about this and no more are built for a good while, so the next one is a first one again. Over and over and over. Lather, rinse, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat...

I started using fish several years ago on the recommendation of a friend and never looked back. It's the must-install shell of every machine I own.

Fish occasionally has the rare syntax quirk I need to drop into bash for, but the autocomplete is so next level I simply can't use a plain shell anymore.
If all of your data is in yjs, then you can use syncedstore to efficiently send updates between clients and y-IndexedDB to store the data when the app is off. Its not exactly what was asked for, no, but depending on the application that setup can be substituted for a central database.
Even better - just ship with a few extra parts slipped in. I’ve actually seen this - extra screws and clips right inside the cover just like extra buttons sewed into the corner of a shirt.

I think they mean that 99% of the time you're better off using a single container on a single server and wiring them together using traditional tools (load balancers, network-attached storage, etc) than you would be if you adopt Kubernetes. This gives you many of the same application-development benefits (standard packaging format, write once run anywhere, etc) that Kubernetes does without the overhead of managing the infrastructure complexity.

Kubernetes is so complicated and many organizations do not really think about what problems they are trying to solve before diving in. Kubernetes solves so many problems that most IT organizations don't actually have or that are perfectly solvable in a simpler way with the existing virtual-machine ecosystem.
Taxi drivers here aren't bad at all but perhaps that depends on the city. Here in Europe I've only experienced this in Bucharest, Romania and there it's a known problem that has its origins in more general societal developments.

The license systems were indeed pretty bad, the scarcity made them artificially expensive which was pretty ridiculous. The problem was the investment that taxi drivers had made, it made it pretty much impossible to abandon the system.

Still I don't think Uber really helps the drivers. Now they have to share their already-low wage with a megacorporation.

Either they weren't what they claimed to be or, it was so long ago they were using the old Windows-specific Framework versions not Core, or there were some really esoteric requirements, or there was a need to get automatic sign-in using a local Windows account.

For virtually every type of app out there (which doesn't need automatic local Windows account recognition) there is no need to install the .Net Framework at all, and certainly no need for IIS.
That (in house tool builders) is not the kind of IT that demands high salaries, it’s the engineers building the call center replacement software (analogy) that demand the high salary. And they make it up in scale. All of these high paid engineers make it up in scale. And you can see it in companies financial statements. It’s not some hand wavy wizardry.

Good point; there used to be some issues with this since my dad is an interpreter for Russian, so we used to have some legitimate business there (probably not relevant, but his clients would essentially come to Europe to be trained in certain medical equipment)...but recent events might probably force early retirement for him.

Somewhat unrelated: I have noticed that SPAM from Russian servers stopped on Feb 23 right before the invasion; I wonder what that means.
The disaster is caused by the implementation not the law.

This is needed in the US too. I just bought an electric toothbrush to replace a very old one. My old one is 10+ years old. Has easily replaceable batteries. New one? Nope! Manual says if battery doesn’t hold a charge, remove the battery and recycle the device. Removing battery literally destroys the device.

There are videos on YouTube that show the battery is literally a Panasonic generic one. Wanna bet if this new brush can be used for 10+ years?
> It's infuriating how if I buy, say, a dishwasher, and the heater pump goes, it's around £100 for a new one, but the whole machine costs maybe £400.

The heater pump when originally manufacturer costs £20 because it is done in lots of (tens of?) thousands and assembled in bulk by cheap labour, and shipped in a large container that costs not-a-lot of to move over an ocean.

The replacement part is stored by (potentially) a third-party company that ordered it for £30, by an employee who is paid £40,000 per year, in a warehouse that costs >£100 per square metre to rent (potentially for years), and when requested then has to be delivered by someone paid £20/hour, to be installed by someone paid >£50/hour (with a three hour minimum). And don't forget the VAT.
When did how most people “feel deep down” become a sound policy making strategy?

To be candid: in some matters, the regulators should not give a shit about how you want your phone.

Good for EU and their mandates.
The flip side? They open up the pool of drivers substantially. Where I am it was impossible to get a taxi in the evening before Uber. Had I have access to Uber back then I wouldn’t need a car given my travel need. But I didn’t, so I had to get a car instead
Invoking Qanon in reasoning about why you should do something is the new self-lobotomy.

That's... not what I asked for. We're talking respiratory cloth masks here, not the global economy.

You're really trying to ignore the obvious red flags. Respiratory masks for US consumption being made in China is not a result of globalization. It's just corporate greed hiding behind virtue signals.
That there are a variety of OEM and third-party parts suppliers to choose from and when I buy appliance parts, I frequently find them to be “pretty what I expect them to cost as compared to automobile service parts”. This is not a monopolized supply chain.

The last appliance part I bought was the motor for my gas dryer. Several parts places had it. Amazon had the best price by a small amount and I got an exact fit OE motor in 2 days for $114. A year later, that price has soared to $109 and is now available for next-day delivery.

How much less do you think it should possibly cost to be able to order an exact fit ~10 pound, ~1/3 HP dryer motor on a Sunday for Monday delivery? $109 seems like an incredible bargain to me, even if Amazon and Frigidaire pocketed $20 each of pure, obscene profit.

Back in the day my cousin was driving yellow cab in NYC. He would work 6/7 days a week 12 hour shifts. He eventually took our a mortgage ( loan) to buy a yellow cab medallion. Cost was like $1M. And BAM! uber came on the scene and the value for his medallion DROPPED. X 10k yellow cab drivers and those who bought medallions with a ridiculous loan. What did uBER do? that was so innovating? they simply put guys like my cousin OUT OF BUSINESS and underwater on their loans. WOW. Poor guy worked 20 years driving yellow cab and thought he would have a future buying medallions. Technology should enable rather than destroy people or slice up an industry to squeeze the lifers who've been in that industry their whole lives. Thats just 1 story of what happened in NYC when uber came on the scene. May not apply to ALL start ups i don't know. 2-cents.

I find it interesting that today we can very easily make a digital map of the world whose size would not only be the size of the world, but more so, much magnified to be larger than the size of the entire world.

It's only a few extra zoom levels from the standard zooms on the standard internet maps and in terms of data isn't that much more, as cartography is mainly about what you don't show than what you do.
I don't know. Pizza delivery has been around longer than I've been alive. Why does that work?
No they wouldn't because of the power dynamic. That's exactly where the government comes in. Google (and the associated OEMs) and Apple have together far more bargaining power than most customers together. Your lobbying power is 0 and even with massive coordination efforts it's hard to compound that 0 into something measurable without serious help from the government.

You need a mobile phone and you have very few choices. How exactly are you protesting? By shooting yourself in the foot and not getting a phone? By going to boutique manufacturers who can barely supply 1% of the market?

Your reasoning is good on paper but not realistic. I'll say it again, the reason you don't have asbestos in your walls or lead in the air (from fuel) isn't because you voted with your wallet but because governments did their part. That should be evidence enough that your assumption is wildly idealistic.
Well, my wife was a pro translator but she found she could make a nicer living by writing books. If it paid enough, she would not have quit (and she was on the higher scale with corp clients). You need a good network and clients who want to pay for quality. The reality is that most just pop text into Google translate, fix the result a bit and that’s it. You cannot compete if companies are willing to pay for crap like that. One of the last projects was a German to English documentary and the client sent over a translation by someone ‘asking a fraction of the price’; the translation was simply wrong for a large amount in of the text. German has many things words and contexts that simply are wrong if you translate them directly. The last project which was the end of it was a Portugese book; she (my wife) translated 1 chapter but to make the humor and cultural references work in English, it was a very expensive chapter. So they found someone on Fiverr who did it. I am not kidding; it is some of the worst things I have ever seen; this translator, like the amateur he is, mixes up he/she and puts ‘the’ in front of everything. This is indeed what you get if you naively translate PT to EN but now that book was published totally unreadable for an English audience. But it was very cheap. That was the last straw. So tl;dr definitely money as far as I see around me. Because to recognise quality you have to spend time and know both languages well, it seems many pick cheap.

If you see translations for Netflix movies and shows from ES, PT, FR, NL, DE, I often go back (I watch everything OV but with subtitles and the subtitles mostly stink) thinking, what, he really didn’t say that at all. There are massive errors in there along with the flattening and badly translated nuances. Humor never works unless it’s slapstick because translating humor is really expensive.

> to be installed by someone paid >£50/hour (with a three hour minimum).

That one shouldn’t factor into the part price. It’s your choice to hire someone to install the part and at what price vs doing it yourself.
This argument is my pet peeve. Taxi companies employed drivers as 'independent contractors' who were paid pretty similar to Uber drivers now- by the ride, not by the hour- and frequently forced the drivers to do or pay for their own repairs on the cars. They were often immigrants, they'd work 12+ hours a day, medallion owners issued them illegal fines or took an overly large chunk of the money they earned, etc. The taxi industry was known as notoriously abusive to its drivers for decades & decades before smartphones were even invented, much less Uber. I'm always a bit amazed at how people now remember the old taxi system as good for drivers, much less riders
I have been using it for years and have been very happy with it. Never seen anything sketchy in the software itself or their support forums. Just the fact that it’s not linked to a cloud puts its trustworthiness higher than a lot of others in my books.

The answer is simple, store the time July 10th 2022 7am utc on march 27th.

Switzerland, Norway, Iceland nor Lichtenstein are in the EU. They seem to be just fine.

EU comes with some huge strings attached, up to and including loss of sovereignty.

Ukraine could've just had both sides (NATO and EAEU/Russia) pay for the Ukrainian defence/security, then figure out a side deal with EU, and be part of their economic area and customs union, but not cede sovereignty to EU.

They could've done it. The real question is why that didn't happen, why did they want to cede sovereignty to the EU so bad?

Very unfortunate for HackerOne to take away the reward of a hacker because they are from Belarus, even though they disagree with their government and are under sanctions.

The whole point of HackerOne is to reward and incentivise hackers for finding vulnerabilities to make software services safer. In this case, the incentive is gone.

But it is yet another example of a private platform doing private platform things and now it sets another precedent of what they can do if you cross the line, with or without sanctions.

They might as well go elsewhere or even the dark web.

Intel Inside: CEO shares his plans to restoring the chip giant’s supremacy
>Some countries excel at financial services, others at manufacturing, still others at providing natural resources.

I think this could reasonably be considered as a racist take. There is nothing inherently in financial services that should make any country better at it. Reasonably it is all about first mover advantage, incupetentcy and lower regulatory environment allowing possibly harmful actions.

I wonder if we see the model failing eventually in future, or will the current winners focus even harder to keep anyone new down just so they can extract wealth in an other way than imperialism...
Indeed. The cookie disaster is because the EU is being too nice. Of they actually brought down the hammer we would see a much nicer internet landscape.

So you allow the manufacturer to charge for delivery (based, on, say, some average delivery cost for the weight, rather then allowing inflated S&H costs to be a new profit centre rewarding unreliable items).

Or, if you really want to stamp down about it, you do not allow them to recoup delivery costs and that's their punishment for making an unreliable machine in the first place.
PyTorch vs. TensorFlow in Academic Papers
That assembly line's costs are amortized over the rate of production (high): that's the essence of mass manufacturing.

> A part sold by itself needs none of those things.

A part sold by itself needs so many more things!

Where do you store it? How do you organize it there? How do you keep track of your inventory? How do you re-order new inventory? How much do you re-order? How long do you typically have to store? How do you source substitute suppliers when your original goes out of business? How do you QC stock? Etc. Etc.

All of that for multiples of the part count that goes into a single model, because you sell more than one model.

You can buy a $3 LED from China (see sibling comment for economics on free shipping) because you're buying the current model / whatever version they feel like giving you.

"Part specs may be subject to variation" doesn't work so well with more complex systems.
That’s why Apple gets to be worth $3T, but that’s not why people buy AirPods over Sennheiser. If they can make longer lasting fully wireless ANC headphones for not much more on the price, they’d be good competition for AirPods customers.
There is value in building with a combination of new and used parts. Why do you need a new case each time you build a new PC. There may be cosmetic benefits, but an old case will rarely affect anything else. Likewise, I have a couple if bike frames laying around. I could pretty much build a bike to my spec and not bother with the expense of a frame.
Maybe this is super cynical by me, but by far the most relevant thing I would want to know is any escalation involving NATO. I suppose I'd figure out soon enough though, through air alarms going off in my west European neighborhood. The rest is just voyeurism.
> Consumer should be voting with their wallets and they should have a choice.

I think we ran the experiment to know what consumer choice gets us: petrol with lead in it, and associated pollution and brain damage.

> across the rent-seekers' vast data centers

why not go further and call it "neo-feudalism"? The infrastructure providers are the territorial lords that control the arable land, the aristocracy of the digital world. Corporations that rent this infrastructure to build services on it are their vassals. They may claim to be freemen or nobility as they pay for their fief in money not in services and allegiance, but most of them are ministeriales that can't just move elsewhere without significant risk to business continuity (some can, like a oil mega-corp that just rents some IT infra). Lastly we have the cloud engineers, the serfs at the bottom of the pyramid, who work the land they don't own and have to give part of the profits of their work to the upper class in exchange for the opportunity to make a living on their infrastructure.
