Tailscale's "database from 2022" is neither here nor there. What you should do in this situation is use the most boring tech, such as PostgreSQL with a simple HA setup. Thus avoiding the "play with nifty toys" trap and maximizing the chance of making appropriate choices.

Totally get that what the other guy did wasn't illegal in my state. The thing that bothers me is that as salespeople, real estate agents can deploy all sorts of fluffery and bamboozle people who believe their "agents" are acting in their interest.

Of course the reality is that there is very little governing their conduct and behavior. Without a functional "exchange" or disclosure rules, both buyer and seller are dependent on good faith.
That sounds brilliant. I shall have to try it.
> Unfortunately they lost all the files of the original game

I'm always flabbergasted when I hear of something like this. Such as NASA losing many videos of the moon landing. How does that happen?!

Could the existing copies of the game out there be reverse engineered?
A16Z podcasts are pretty good and I saw an interview on Bloomberg where he came across quite well. They had a clubhouse thing that seems to have stopped recently along with the clubhouse hype in general. It is hard to disambiguate the marketing and messaging around web3 vs the actual tech however. NFTs will mean a lot more in an object but not centered digital universe which we don't really have yet.

I enjoy listening to their opinions on technology and business. They also throw in stuff on leadership, history and have interesting takes on the VC industry.

All VCs have this problem of missing big bets which they seem to want to figure out how to avoid making.

Well, let's think about this. If estrogens or xenoestrogens were at levels in food and drink that they were changing the bodies of young men, what you would see is distress as their body shifts away from their assigned gender. I do not see what about that would lead them to think they are transgender.

Far from distress, the rate of dissatisfaction trans people after hormonal transition is very low and is most often driven by external factors. https://www.gendergp.com/detransition-facts/

I do not see how plastics are a convincing explanation for current social trends.
I want medicare for all (or at least wish that people could figure that out, in a workable way - probably not possible until international defense spending takes a huge haircut, meaning a very different world order), but I also don't think "death panels" are a lie - ignore the scary hyperbole, the point is that health care on a fixed budget needs to be rationed. The kind of plans we could offer the nation of 350m people without dramatic world-changing changes in budget structure would be pretty bare bones. That's a reality in all systems. None of us have a "right" to have endless repair services - we are "entitled" to services within the confines of the systems we create, pay for, and subscribe to. Limited budget, just like with NHS, means choices have to be made. Totally okay with that.
First of all, that’s a very US-centric view. Second of all, as seen from this ongoing war, Russia is no longer a super-power, hell, it doesn’t even have a considerably good military to begin with.

But in all seriousness, if it were to come to a US-CCP war, everyone would equivalently loose no matter what.

Cyberpunk 2077: a 2022 re-review
> Is it possible to have a "healthy" amount of playing?

Yes, it is but for some of us it isn't.

I can't do it. I've been trying for years. I don't consider myself a gamer as I don't play games for a hobby like most people. I see games coming out and I'm not interested in them, gaming per se doesn't interest me but let me tell you something, there are a few games that I would play 24/7.

So what do I do? No matter what I don't play them. Well, actually I do but not alone, only with friends. If I can't coop with someone I don't play. This is tricky too because if you have many friends playing at all hour you'll find someone to play with, so keep your number of gaming buddies low. Play with your wife a couple times a week, have fun, enjoy yourselves, then leave the game until the next time.
You actually could, basically, if you really wanted to do it. If there was an efficient high-speed corridor into the major metro area, suburbs could be much further out along it and it'd still work out well.
Yes, one group of people got rich and now a different group of have-nots are mad at the people left holding the land. That is not an uncommon historical trope. That has nothing to do with what I said - unoccupied mansions on valuable land are an economic crime against the average person. If you want to blame that on zoning laws, you’d probably be correct in many cases, but its also a taxation issue.

I’m not from Vancouver, so their xenophobia doesn’t apply to me. Vancouverites burned down their own city after losing the Stanley Cup Finals - I’m definitely not here to defend their character. You can stop going to that well, I only see this as land use issue.
There are a few options:

- Switch to an alternate Twitter frontend like nitter.net. There are extensions that can redirect to this automatically as well.

- Block Twitter from setting any cookies. This will prevent loginwalls.

- Add this custom uBlock Origin filter:

twitter.com##+js(cookie-remover, guest_id)

Personally I use the last two options, and sometimes use Nitter, especially on mobile.
To be fair, Nvidia hired a lot of people who at some point worked at SGI and 3dfx, so there was already a lot of HPC/server/supercomputing talent working there. There are articles (e.g. https://www.extremetech.com/gaming/239078-ten-years-ago-toda...) showing the transition from having fixed vertex/pixel shaders in the GeForce 7000 GTX series to the generalized stream processors starting with the GeForce 8000 GTX series going forward.

And it's easy to see that Huang and Nvidia put their money where their mouth was. The first GTC was 2009. That's 3 years before the famous AlexNet paper that's often credited with kicking off the current AI on GPUs trend.
Just block Twitter from setting cookies and you won't need to keep manually deleting them.
Premium costs vary by state. When I last looked (three years ago?) my bronze plan was $1600/mo with high deductible. It was higher than that six years ago. The affordability exemption started to alleviate me of the tax penalty once the exemption was available, and then the removal of the mandate removed the penalties entirely.
I'm not aware of good storage options that scale to that level. Lithium batteries might conceivably do it but we can barely make enough to supply the EV market And if the Chevy Bolt is any indicator, we need to be extremely careful when we build massive novel battery storage systems like this. The few sites I'm aware of that are trying this are still only, at maximum charge, able to supply 4-6 hours of power for their location, and they're the largest in the world.

If getting off carbon is an existential threat, there's no reason that nuclear shouldn't be part of the solution in getting us there faster.
City planners do make estimates on how much traffic is reduced by introducing more and new public transit. They also make estimates on reduced traffic accidents when building news roads and redirect traffic away from more dangerous paths and those close to high risk areas like schools.

We can also compare similar sized locations and compare outcomes. How many lives dies to traffic accidents in cities prioritizing bike lanes and mass transit compared to same sized cities that prioritize car travel?

We can also count how many people that die to air pollution related illness in countries with a lot of coal power and compare that to cities with a lot of nuclear power. We can also look at countries like Island or Norway, through countries that can exclusively depend on hydro/geothermal power has a fairly low sample size. With coal we can get a fairly massive sample size just looking at the scope of a city.

Oracle has to compete somehow (they're a distant fourth in public cloud market share) and bandwidth pricing is an obvious place for them to try. It's compelling, but I don't know if it's compelling enough for a lot of people to be willing to give Oracle money...
For US Id say it's NYT/WSJ. The post has middling circulation (~1/4 of WSJ and ~1/2 of NYT) and is not as well regarded as it used to be, esp. after the sale to Bezos. Meanwhile, USA Today has the highest distribution, but not is not nearly as respected as NYT/WSJ.

> We had no idea how individual customers used the application, which was very data intensive, or what that was costing us.

Cost can be a difficult problem to solve! I've been working on a project for about six months trying to identify just how much it costs to deliver a unit of the thing we sell. There's just so much variability, one customer might have widgets that are 40kb in size and rarely ever run widget analytics workloads, while another customer has 40mb widgets and can't stop looking at them.

I feel for the whole "how do customers use the application" thing too. Product analytics at most places seems to be a concern long after features are developed.

"So how many customers have been using that feature we spent two years and $20MM developing?"

"Good question."

> I'm probably missing something obvious, but I just don't get how this helps ? In my mind it seems to add extra places for security issues to be introduced ?

The entire point is integrity and a fully auditable chain of actions. Quoting the post:

> Performing these steps guarantees to the consumer that the binary was produced in the trusted builder at a given commit hash attested to in the provenance. They can trust that the information in the provenance was non-forgeable, allowing them to trust the build “recipe” and trace their artifact verifiably back to the source.

This provides a broad swath of integrity guarantees that are otherwise extremely difficult to assert for builds that you don't control: you know exactly which machine ran the build, that it wasn't tampered with or silently replaced, and that a particular OpenID identity has signed for the build. You can verify all of these steps publicly without having to keep a trusted keychain, and without having to trust that the signing/publishing parties securely store long-lived signing keys (since everything is ephemeral).

The critical thing to note here is that GitHub Actions is just the platform here. The techniques are all open, and sigstore is an open specification with an open implementation. You can do it all in-house if you'd like, or ignore it completely if everything you consume is already in-house.

I concur with this. The story of insane housing prices being limited to TO and Vancouver is a 2016 story. Since the pandemic, it has hit ever podunk town in the country. Look at rural Nova Scotia and New Brunswick for evidence. Same price increases on a percentage basis as in significantly more populated areas.

It’s interest rates!

Thanks Brandon for yet another one of your shout outs.

I'd just like to underline one thing you said, Pelias/Geocode Earth are based on OSM _plus other data_: that last part is pulling a lot of weight.

OSM data is great, in fact the POI data in OSM is best-in-class in many parts of the world. But OSM in general doesn't have great address coverage. It's very difficult to manually map low density rural or suburban areas, as is the preferred method with OSM. Bulk address imports are possible, but rare. However there are a huge number of local governments that publish up to date, relatively complete and accurate address lists, and we heavily lean on those for good address coverage.

So to anyone looking for a geocoder who has been put off from Pelias or Geocode Earth because you saw it uses OSM, give it a try anyway. OSM data is a crucial piece of the puzzle, but not the only one.
I remember reading something concrete last year maybe was this: https://www.wolframphysics.org/bulletins/2020/05/event-horiz...
Highly unlikely. You'd expect higher prevalence if environmental causes are to blame.
I don't understand your point. People who say "I don't need the vaccine because I already had COVID" never qualify that with how recent their natural infection was. Many of them assume that having it once is forever enough, like with chickenpox. The study shows that this common belief is wrong.
> There's also no incentive to build affordable or well-constructed homes.

This is sort of my point. Who's going to build the "affordable housing"? Why won't the affordable housing get snatched up by the highest bidder?

The federal government already spends way more than it can afford. State/local governments don't have anywhere near enough tax revenue. It would require a multi-trillion dollar operation to increase supply enough to offset shortages.

Silicon is expensive to design, and even more expensive to build. The startup costs are crazy high. By the time people realized it could be a thing, nVidia and AMD already owned the market.
There's a perception that this is true, and like all perceptions it is based in reality, but it is not the reality itself.

We have plenty of data that shows that people DO get promoted at all levels based on OSS work.
Levels before you even have product market fit is a joke.
> if the creat system call normalized the strings it receives

Nowadays, there’s an understanding to assume those bytes are strings encoded in some ISO-8859 variant or UTF-8, but technically, the creat system call doesn’t receive strings; it receives byte arrays.

Historically, that was the (somewhat) right decision because it meant file systems didn’t need to know much about character encodings (they only needed to know the byte value of ‘/‘ and that zero is the name terminator), giving you a nice separation of concerns.

With Unicode, if you want to normalize names on write, or even only reject incorrectly normalized names, or have case-insensitive file names, your file system code needs to know a lot of Unicode. That can be problematic on small embedded systems.

> If your boss's boss or peers signed a contract for $1m a year from Oracle, you're going to use Oracle even if Postgres is a better product.

What you'd do in that situation is make the best of that $1M contract you're stuck with anyway, while being flexible enough to migrate away from that solution when it actually makes sense to do so. Just because you've made a huge mistake doesn't mean that making a different choice after-the-fact is more sensible. Hindsight is always 20/20.

2. If this is existential Existential despair/doubt and existential hope are two sides of the same coin.

We don't know what's going on but we are clearly living in an age of exponential increase, wealth, knowledge, capability, etc. people existentially wonder if things have meaning, maybe take an ego check and wonder "what if everything does have meaning?", we don't know, that's just basic intellectual humility, find a new angle to investigate that.

Who knows, maybe if we keep at it and hang in there long enough shit will make sense before we die... but if that doesn't happen, what did we really lose by giving in to existential hope?
> Cool, so just emit that token along with your build artifacts. Anyone who trusts Github can then verify that it was signed by them, and there is no need for any of the CA nonsense.

This works if you need to verify JWTs from relatively recent packages, but packaging has a long tail. There's no guarantee that GitHub is still publishing their expired JWK sets a decade after the last valid signature for them has gone out.
Not all anticheat enabled games[1]. Which is pretty impressive when you consider anticheat has only been working in Proton for a couple of months officially.

In retrospect, it defined what smartphones were in terms of market. Before 2007, smartphones were business devices. They weren't marketed to the general consumer, and if you walked into a phone store, they were mostly ignored unless you were a "business person". The high end of consumer phones were "multimedia phones", like the Razr, which was the best seller at that time.

This is partially a result of smartphone design at the time. They were, in design (and sometimes literally), PDAs with phone functionality added. It was assumed that this paradigm was the correct one. Consumers were asking for 'iPod-like' phones at the time, and manufacturers responded by making mp3 player hybrid phones like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LG_Chocolate_(VX8500) We now know that this approach was too literal -- too feature based. What consumers actually wanted wasn't an mp3 player glued to a phone, it was smartphone that was designed for non-business use cases first -- one that wasn't a PDA.

At the time, there was actually a lot of commentary that the iPhone was destined to fail: it ignored what was then seen as the most important parts of building a smartphone at the time, being able to integrate into business communication systems: e.g. Blackberry Enterprise Server or Exchange ActiveSync.
