With ads overpopulating the internet and everywhere we look on our streets its good to be able to mentally sort through the junk instantly and to pay no attention to it. I think of it as mental training/fortitude to be able to recognize the "scam" they're selling and to be able to overlook it and move on without a second thought - McDonald's will never look like how they do in their ads.

Reminds me of a marketing class I took in uni and how marketing is everywhere, it's one of the few practical courses that I can apply concepts to every ad I watch.

On the otherhand, there are some more "interesting" ads such as free screeners from ads on ig in my area that I have attended and were actually pretty good and definitely worth it.

There's also technical ways of blocking those ads. So no, youtube premium isn't worth it.
It's not uncommon. It was one of NATO'S first targets in Belgrade too.

“Our military leaders at NATO believe … that the Serb television is an essential instrument of Mr. Milosevic’s command and control. … It is not, in a conventional sense, therefore, a media outlet. That was a decision they made, and I did not reverse it.” - Clinton

The US and NATO were lavished with praise for their part in that war.
Yep, it's difficult to think how to handle impermissible moves gracefully in the general case.

I suppose that one option would be for the game state to diverge for each player, and only after both of them have reached a conclusion could they both be told the move at which that happened.

(and in that case, ensuring that both players reach their respective game's conclusion near the same point-in-time -- hiding the magic trick -- becomes a separate challenge)
> if this leads to a shift off the petrodollar

Given the petrodollar hypothesis for dollar dominance is a debunked myth, no. (TL; DR Oil is priced and trades in numerous currencies. America is not dependent on foreign oil. The global transaction volumes in oil, across currencies, pales next to total U.S. dollar volumes.)

We've in all but explicit name cancelled the deal with the House of Saud that created the petrodollar because petrodollars are no longer useful to us.
And now for R. (Only one snapshot needed.)
I’m from Serbia, and know for sure that during the NATO war against Serbia in ‘99 our military was residing in (some) schools. It makes sense if you think about it. If they were better at information warfare, they would have written “children” on some of the buildings.
They've even been admitting since the beginning that they were ordered to kill civilians: https://old.reddit.com/r/RussianWarSecrets/comments/t1yd83/r...

To say that "Russia has no interest in massacring and torturing civilians" is a barefaced lie considering the numerous soldiers' testimonies to the opposite.
GitHub enterprise is amazing, but I agree that a centrally hosted Git instance of any variety is a liability.

With the advent of the Okta breach I think we will see a reverse in the centralization trend.
any society constrained by time and physical limits will tend towards this I think.
> Russia's incompetent invasion goes to show that Europe can defend itself against Russia

The incompetence cuts both ways. They're unlikely to win a land war in Europe. But they're apparently happy to start wars they can't win.
GitHub's outages have hit me hard over the past week or so. I don't think it's a matter of them being transparent--if anything, I was hitting errors well before their status page updated. Yesterday it was completely unusable for much of my workday, and today tasks that normally take me a few minutes have been taking hours.
The trading site's performance is quite high latency, and uses a 3rd party endpoint (I forget which one) that doesn't emphasize performance. You reduce the latency of your orders, acquire real-time price information, notification of liquidity changes faster, etc.

If you think it's to prevent attacks in some absolute sense, that isn't the goal. Your goal is to make life more difficult for them and/or decrease profit incentives.

You only need to remove some of the profit to make it not worth someone's time to maintain, and at least you're bleeding less money if they do continue. You get to be more strategic in how you place orders and make it really annoying for a botter or force the botter to blacklist your trades from your attacks (something that has happened before). You can also identify flaws in the bot and exploit them to make it bleed money(this has been demonstrated as possible many times).
Yes, their personal habits are so awful that they are out on the market making all-cash offers for $3 million. Give me a break.

To illustrate how out of touch someone like you who obviously lives in a house bought by some other person is, please consider that the actual median home price in L.A. is $950k, double what you mentioned, while the actual median household income is $65,290, only a fraction of what you cited.
Okra CSO affirms Oceania has always been at war with Eurasia.

Their systems were breached, but there was no breach, they never had been any breach.

This is ridicules. And the CSO’s stance is damaging them a lot more than the actual breach.

In the face of a situation, honesty and transparency should be your top priorities.
Trying to lie, shape incorrect headlines and bend the meanings of words to mislead is never the way to go.
And by taking a single inflammatory and ultimately inconsequential soundbite from the article, you now risk derailing the entire discussion into a flamewar.

I could absolutely see the "borrow some code" angle. Especially if you have an existing/established project where it would be pretty hard to integrate everything anyway. $1000 is not much for a company looking for another "professional Django resource" (if that's what it is).

Would have no issue with some people paying for access, borrowing some stuff, and being a part of a "community" of people sharing variations of the ideas and occasionally factoring that in to the Forge code itself, copying it out, etc.
I haven't tried it, but Piwigo[0] looks promising for photo albums & management. That or Ente[1] although Ente doesn't have a self-hosting option like Piwigo.

If you really want true self hosting you would run it off your own on-prem machine and use your ISP to push & pull content. Putting things on a VPS is not really 'self' hosting as you're entrusting a third party to not get their datacenter burned down, or the hard-drives corrupted, etc

That said, the only caveat to hosting in your own house is it could suffer a fire, and your data is wiped, so having /BOTH/ a VPS and an in-house on-prem solution means you're not putting all your eggs in one basket and you have a contingency plan in place, which one day may be worth it. It buys you peace of mind because of the redundancy.

Have you used several middlemen? I have, because I have no other option if I want to actually get paid. I've used Wise, Payoneer, Paypal, Paysera, Western Union, Revoult, Bankera, among others that I'm probably forgetting.

They all suck. They decide what I can or can't do with my money. They can freeze my accounts, stop transfers, force me to share details and I can't do anything about it. I rather use crypto than any of those awful services.
It doesn't matter. They were only proposing this for trade with China, and the USD is useful regardless. Notice how nobody in Europe is worried that the Euro isn't the primary trading currency for oil, and the Euro is worth more than the USD?

The only existential threat to the USD is an actual civil war in the United States. I don't even view cryptocurrency as a threat.
Yes?

Apparently the theory is that he gave up this family to save his own family, which is a horrific situation to be in. So even if we knew this is what actually happened, and we don't, it's an obvious mitigating circumstance.
Yeah, thanks for amending this 1975 date. It made it all the more
interesting. Still only half way through but this is a great analysis
by Andrew Mack.

So, it leans heavily on Vietnam for its arguments as it was written
before Afghanistan (a fail for the Russians and Allies).

What I'm getting is a combination of two factors in conventional
asymmetrical conflict;

1) For the superior force, not winning is basically losing

2) There's a sort of "Overton window" for winning, after which you
lose at home, politically.

Vietnam played out at home via television and newspapers. The US tried
to avoid that mistake during Iraq-I by massively managing the news
media and images. Iraq-I happened on CNN and was carefully scripted.
Even now we're only just getting documentary accounts of how it really
went over there, things that surprise even those who served.

Putin is trying that. But in the internet age I think it's failing.
Except Russian soldiers were ordered to kill civilians no matter what, not just attack "civilian structures and human shields".
well the case is that if github keeps going down and becomes completely unreliable you can take your decentralized code and more it to a different provider. Those other providers will also have value added stuff and you will not lose the core of your business/work (your source code).

If it was a pure central authority + protocol you would be doomed to live and die with them. Imagine if instead of git + github you had some source code protocol that only allowed you to checkout the latest commit of some branch. All code history needed to be viewed by connecting to the central servers. Why not make it even worse, you could only view+edit a specific file of the latest commit on your machine. All other files must live on the central server, you are not allowed to build/compile code locally either... Centralization is the process of you giving up control to a "trusted" entity. If they fail you lose everything
A military country who can’t even take over a weaker neighbor is in no position to start a new world order. What are you on?

I specifically said "counter" not "prevent". I explained in another post.
The Laravel community has a similar offering called Laravel Spark[0], and while it's priced differently ($99/proj or $199/unlimited), the gist is the same. The problem that folks I've talked to run into is that you could easily spend 3x-5x the time trying to figure out why the boilerplate did one thing vs. another, or end up spending time undoing something that doesn't necessarily fit.

Not at all. I buy crypto through P2P, and I decide with whom.
So, if my math is right (for 2021 only): 1888 min / 525,600 min = 99.64% uptime.

If it was more like 99.80+ I think I would be like "meh", but honestly for the price you pay that's not terrible. Still, for a company at the Microsoft level, it should be 99.80 at least.

Google's Certificate Transparency Search page to be discontinued May 15th, 2022
This is valid and helpful feedback; it also validates our priorities because we have ongoing projects to address each of these points.
NPM has a market force towards people spamming uselessly small libraries, and the result has been obviously extremely poor software. I can't imagine how terrible it would be is you made direct, open financial incentives to do so.
Russia is only "losing" because they can't justify being barbaric to the world, US justified that with fighting terrorism, so "collateral damage" was allowed.

I lived enough that I made it to 2021 to see that even Israel starting to care about that, when they let people know what buildings they are targeting before launching the attack.
oh totally, but then you aren't "making a procedure call" you're doing something different.

In this case your data is likely traversing the memory hierarchy far enough so that the message data gets shared (more likely the sending data goes into the sending CPU's data cache and the receiving one will use the cache coherency protocol to pull it from there) - that's likely to take of the order of a pipe flush to happen.

You could also have bespoke pipe-like hardware - that's going to be a fixed resource that will require management/flow control/etc if it's going to be a general facility
You're kind of moving the goalposts here. The original assertion is that our attitudes are shaped by Ukrainian propaganda rather than the reality.

Certainly it is a fact that this is an illegal war which has resulted in the deaths of thousands of civilians. Whether those deaths were, uh, "procedurally valid" is not really relevant.
Hi, is it possible to proxy, for instance, /media/ from example.com/media/ to a S3 bucket? I run a setup using `nginx-ingress-controller` and it's possible to use it as reverse proxy to an external http server and I'm wondering if Render supports it as well. Thanks!
No, but nothing will record. I just get a black screen.
it has an official docker image - which doesnt come with even the oracle one.

Trying to Solve a Covid Mystery: Africa’s Low Death Rates
There are a lot of problems with this from the business angle:

(1) An engineer getting paid 120k doesn't "cost" 120k, probably >150k with federal taxes, health insurance, benefits, and so on. Not including the cost to recruit, interview, and train said person.

(2) I don't know of many 1,000 person companies that would trust a new grad software engineer with no experience to manage critical infrastructure.

(3) You need N engineers to manage said service, because what happens when your one engineer gets sick, takes PTO, or quits for some reason? You also need a manager for said engineer(s).

(4) You now need to secure an internal service you never did before, so expect to have to hire external security consultants or re-allocate security engineers, since it's high risk.

(5) Github is FedRAMP compliant, SOC1 and SOC2 compliant and GDPR compliant. If you or your customers need any of those things, expect to hire external auditors on a recurring basis to validate your home-grown solution meets those requirements.

I hate to make these points because I'm a big believer in the scrappy startup mentality, but if you want to do things right, in the context of a large enterprise that is accountable to a lot of people, expect a project like this to cost $1MM per year minimum, and it probably won't reach parity with a cloud offering in terms of reliability, multi-region performance, proper backups, and so on. This is why Github can charge ~$200 per user (Or $200k per year for 1,000 seats) and still come away looking like a bargain.
Hilarious considering you can sit in traffic in Ohio too.
I haven't used this yet, but I want to say I just love GNOME. Its fantastic, been using it for a decade. Thanks to everybody involved!
On the contrary, Rome was able to conquer most of Europe thanks to its hearts and minds approach. You can rule yourself, keep doing your thing, get some nice roads and towns, move on with life. All you have to do is swear allegiance to Rome and pay some taxes. No more than that. You didn't even have to change your religion if you didn't want to.

If you said no, that's when the pain started of course.

You can conquer people by force, but you can't occupy by force. Occupation only works with hearts and minds.
“AI - Quantum SaaS Developing post RSA encryption. Their current customers are WIX.com”

What an absolute fruit basket of meaninglessness.
$1000/yr is steep for starting a project from scratch with it. You need to really be sure about needing it and about it paying for itself.

The Rails equivalent (https://jumpstartrails.com/) is $249/year and the Laravel equivalent (https://spark.laravel.com/) is $99/project.

Those seem geared in features and price at hobbyist wanting to monetize a side project. This looks like it would be just as helpful for hobbyists using Django, but it’s not priced right for them.

Maybe it’s more for people who are about to start a second revenue project.
First, you are muddying things because it’s not a product called OracleJDK vs a product called OpenJDK, it’s “Oracle’s download called (the) JDK” vs “a different download that can only legally be called OpenJDK.” More on that below.

It’s also more confusing than you indicate because you are excluding all historical context. The “regular” JDK everyone installed up until Java 8 was the “JDK downloaded from Oracle” and the open source OpenJDK was, for lack of better words, a knock-off with poor compatibility with a lot of enterprise software but used because you couldn’t include JDK in your distro’s package manager (even though it was completely free to use) because the license wasn’t GPL compatible. So everyone that cared about vendor-approved compatibility downloaded “the JDK” from Oracle as a tarball and used that. Those that were running home software could get away with using “apt install openjdk” instead.

After Java 8, Oracle pulled a huge switcheroo and said everyone should use OpenJDK instead, and their licensed customers could use the Oracle-provided JDK instead. They didn’t put it behind a paywall or even login, and left it available for free.

So if you missed the bit about OpenJDK being officially blessed to use or you continued to just go to Oracle.com to download “the JDK” for commercial use, you were now in violation. Some say Oracle licensing is never confusing by accident and the official recommendation to switch to a previously inferior alternative wasn’t a charitable move.

If you don’t know OpenJDK is what you want, you search for “JDK” and the only entity allowed to use the plain “JDK” moniker is Oracle. Even now, just Googling for “download JDK” gives you Oracle’s JDK (that’s twenty years of PageRank and inbound links pointing to what was once a “free” download - there’s no outranking that!) as the first result.

(Given Google’s IP history with Oracle, they should show “Did you mean OpenJDK?” and include those results too :D)
You're not giving neutral feedback you're criticizing saying it's a "poor job". You could have stopped before.

I guess in 1975 it would be around the longest break Afghanistan had, from being invaded by superpowers (~100 years since the British, Soviets about to do their thing).

An example would be good, but I think hypertele-Xii's point isn't about what engines can handle, but about where engine developers are (and aren't) spending their money and time, and what they're making easy for users to do --- that if they make realism easy, then that's where users will go.
This is sort of a plot point in the TV show Billions. IIRC, they track private jets and figure out that one company is about to acquire another.
And hugo is technically correct (the best kind of correct) in that parens are in the sub-delims reserved set of characters for HTML (https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3986.txt section 2.2), and since they're being used in a context where the enclosing language considers parens to have special meaning, they should be octet-encoded in the hugo file.

(In practice, my experience with hugo is that it will generally get them right if you use them anyway, but it risks mis-parsing).
Agreed that they definitely aren't a silver bullet! We went pretty deep down the secure FPGA route -- they (such as there is more than one vendor, which there arguably isn't) are very, very proprietary. (Not only do you not have source code to ROMs, there are entire hidden cores!) Indeed, we ultimately abandoned that route for quotidian reasons: we couldn't get their proprietary toolchain to work reliably on a Linux box, and we were getting the runaround. Our belief was that if their support was so bad on something so simple, it was going to be much worse when we found more serious issues with the device. Our view was (and is) that open FPGAs are a necessary (but not sufficient) step to get us to secure FPGAs.
North Korean Artillery: Means to Retaliate, Coerce, Deter, or Terrorize
I mean this is neither here nor there, but "communism could work if only it could be done without authoritarianism" is not a Marxist take, doctrinaire or otherwise. If you're a bolshevik, you believe that having and defending a revolution requires a vanguard of devoted party members who run shit. If you're a democratic socialist, likewise you think there needs to be a centralized group in control during the revolution -- you just think that this centralized group should be selected by vote rather than self-appointed. If you're an anarchist (and anarchists are typically not marxist), then you're someone who thinks that managing a revolution without centralized control is possible.

And you might be thinking: why on earth would someone argue that putting the centralized party in control is a good idea? There's a simple reason for that: the Paris Commune.

Why does the Paris Commune matter? They tried to run a revolution on anarchist lines... and so, instead of immediately marching on Versailles to take down the extant government, they just sort of faffed around in committee meetings until a couple of months later the extant government's army came and killed them all. Leninism (the centralized, essentially authoritarian stuff) was a reaction to that. Because they observed how thoroughly fucked over the Commune was, specifically due to the lack of the sort of centralized control that would get people to take up arms and march on Versailles, the bolsheviks decided that they would do everything they possibly could to centralize the fuck out of everything.

And I mean, they lasted for longer than the commune did? At the very least, the bolshevik experiment had some measure of democracy until Stalin came along 7 years after the revolution.

So, yeah. people don't believe "communism could work if it could be done without authoritarianism." Instead there's an active debate (running for a century and a half now) about what type and level of centralized control is necessary to do a revolution without being immediately killed by the old government, and what level of centralized control is so hyper-centralized that it makes a Stalin happen.

If you don't understand the need to either take out tv stations and broadcast towers you really don't understand what a modern war is about.

I don't see anything about instruction reordering? Where'd you get that from?

And I don't really see how the interaction with interrupt entry could be the problem, since the code works just fine if the code in the interrupt leaves the thread on the same core.

Don't you need a memory barrier to get that coherency, though?
