Because you can get the best parts of self-hosted and managed services. And on that backup question: self-hosted Atlassian is vastly easier to protect against disasters. The problem these Atlassian guys had arose from multi-tenant architecture. Usually managed service providers will host your stack on individual databases and VMs, and backing up the software is just a matter of taking pg_dumps and rsyncing certain directories (pretty old school) or just taking disk level snapshots.

Many medium-large corporations have their own cloud environments that their IT Ops control. Solution providers can host Atlassian stacks on their own cloud environment where they are not affected by data privacy concerns (it's in their already green-lit cloud providers data center) so they can host it behind a firewall with only VPN access allowed. They can also do all the magic you can usually do with web software like put a frontend proxy in front of it, or use more flexible/legacy authentication methods. Not to mention that for example you could have a Jira Cloud that you would need to integrate with a SCM program. Jira data could be "OK" to live in the cloud but code would be a big no-no. These problems can be solved by having them all live behind the firewall.

A competent managed solution provider also has consultants that can train or instruct on usage. It costs but it is simpler and faster than having to go through the forums or send a support ticket for every small issue to Atlassian itself.
Lol, what. You really read to read my message again and if your takeaway remains the same then good luck fixing your brain.
Neither of those links support your claim. They don't state that it will be possible to avoid infection. Certain non-pharmaceutical interventions can potentially delay exposure for certain individuals, but unless you hide in a sterile bubble you will be exposed.

And the so-called "People's CDC" isn't even a serious scientific or medical group. Unlike the real CDC, they're not doing any original research or useful analysis. It's merely a political advocacy group. There's nothing wrong with political advocacy but don't confuse it with actual science.

Hopefully someone rolls this into a framework, not just a pattern/architecture. The beautiful promise of Rails is "convention over configuration." In contrast, the workflow in the post involves a heavy degree of configuration and customization.

Correct. There are probably not a lot of MSPs that have so many customers that they need to share that much data, and their customers probably use MSPs for the strict purpose that they don't want to share things with other companies.

We should not continue the Cuba embargo. It serves no public policy purpose. We should continue and enhance sanctions on North Korea, which actively works to destabilize the rest of the world, unlike Cuba. Iran is a trickier case, but on balance the world would be better off with more normalized relations with Iran, and its trajectory forward after normalization would very likely be better than it is with sanctions. The opposite is true of North Korea.

You can disagree with any or all of this, but the underlying point is: we are within our rights to coordinate sanctions on any country for a diversity of reasons.

Any time there's a massive change in architecture, it should be expected improvements will be found in tweaking.
it's not really that Google lags, but rather SEOers have optimized for Google. The problem is intractable. When people talk about the 'good ol days' or times when Google was better, it was simply because there was less SEO, less spam and generally fewer pages on the internet.

Google could be better than it is now, but there's no incentive to do so, unfortunately. Say Google allowed you to blacklist entire sites from the results - inevitably those sites that have the most ads would be the most likely to be blocked, resulting in lower revenue for Google.
Like many people of this community I have written multiple scripts and programs for my own use. Recently I was bored with Tinder, so I wrote a small CLI to automate the likes on Tinder. It's totally stupid and just likes everyone, but I found that it's easier to filter out uninteresting candidates afterwards instead of having to swipe manually in the app.

Another recent thing (this one is open source, search for "5hay/notionbackup"): I wanted regular backups of my Notion workspace, so wrote a little program in Go that does that. I'm doing weekly backups and pushing it to my Google Suite with rclone (encrypted).
Good point! Wrote that many years ago. It’s a side project I’m resurrecting.
It’s pretty common to need this kind of bootstrap in the embedded world, and a similar technique is known there as the “three-instruction Forth”[1]. There is no actual Forth on the target, just a serial monitor with peek, poke, and jump, small enough that you can hand-assemble it in a pinch, but given a good dynamic interactive environment on the host you can build yourself a pretty comfy exploratory setup on top of that in a matter of days (hours, I imagine, for an embedded programmer who actually knows what they’re doing).

For instance I saw that many Russian generals had been killed during the war. I wondered how many Ukrainian generals had been killed over the same period.

Still can't figure it out. Lots and lots of articles about dead Russian generals.

There's got to be some way where the search engine doesn't second guess you. You can never find the answer to something adjacent to a popular question with the current state of things.
I think you're making a serious mistake assuming that's the end of the curve, the ones you can relate to most likely haven't dug deep enough yet.
That's correct. You can't mix without decrypting. Signal does not mix at the server because it can't.

Google also isn't great at surfacing genuine product reviews that aren't just people reiterating amazon reviews with referral links and SEO. Like even stuff reviewed by reputable websites somehow loses out regularly.

If I want someone's actual opinion and people I know don't have one, I have to check reddit or metafilter.

> The GDPR and various things have made companies more skittish in doing things this way, because they get scared.

They may be scared. But are they scared enough to reload every single backup they have, purge the desired records, and resave each and every single backup they have? And not also worry they will corrupt/break the backups in the process.

GDPR compliance is a mess of contradictions and unreasonable asks which all seem to amount to "depends on who you ask."
The same thing that the cloud company would do. If there are other people there who share that guy's responsibilities, have them do it. If there aren't, you should have an on-call.

Cloud just outsources that problem to another business. Sure, they have better reasons to actually cover those positions and make sure they have on-calls and backup and a disaster plan, but just because you pay extra money for it doesn't actually make it work better if the company underlying it sucks.
But "Mars" is not simply a misspelling of the correct object, it confuses two distinct objects. A better comparison would be "When did Louis Armstrong set foot on the Moon?"
it's more showing that the search engine isn't much better than bag-of-words model, and doesn't seem to "know" enough logic/reasoning to parse a sentence and determine that it's false because it says mars instead of the moon.

BTW, a big reason for this is the search quality folks at Google left the building and got replaced with growth marketers.
Yup, Voyager 1 and 2 are still running off RTGs right now since 1977.

However the thermoelectric converter used in those RTGs exploit a different effect, and appear to have quite different properties as a result... What I can tell from a quick dig:

- Thermocouples ("Seebeck effect") operate on a temperature difference, and are more commonly used as temperature sensors. They have the advantage of working at a larger range of temperatures, but the disadvantage of needing to maintain a temperature gradient for power production... Any inherent efficiency is likely negated by the requirement for constant cooling. [0]

- Themal Diodes ("Thermophotovoltaic") is more like a solar panel for a different wavelength (infrared). The principle they operate on suggests no temperature gradient is required, not sure about cooling for other reasons though, but the clear disadvantage is the requirement for a high operating temperature for effective use in power production. [1]

Historically thermal diodes don't appear to have been particularly efficient compared to thermocouples either, obviously this particular one changes that.

I've recently written my own static-blog generator. On the one hand, I got irritated trying or figured out I would quickly hit limitations with the popular ones. On the other hand, the effort I would have spent searching for and evaluating the hundreds of existing other ones is on par with re-implementing my own.

I've written about the motivations and the architecture here: https://lucasdicioccio.github.io/how-this-blog-works.html .

Thanks for the feedback!

It’s free to use for now. I’d like to bill heavy corporate users someday. Not sure what the criteria will be for that.
To everyone in this thread commenting about the Carnot efficiency: yes, the Carnot efficiency grows with T, but you must use a Carnot engine for that! The Carnot theorem is an upper bound not a property of a given engine. It’s trivial to build a heat engine whose real efficiency (measured efficiency / Carnot efficiency) approaches 0.
I'm not saying there shouldn't be flexibility, it's give and take, but there clearly should be some limits. So blanket advice of change what your doing to satisfy all minor complaints isn't great advice in my opinion.

Sure, for small stuff that makes sense for a one or two time experience. They recommended 60 days. Eating preprocessed frozen diners for two months could be unenjoyable to one party and not the other. They might not care about the added cost too. So it could work if they try to stick to the rules. If they just don't care, then that might suck.

Then for the car issue... even one large mistake could cost thousands or lead to death. If they are supervised, then maybe that could work. But that would at least require enough extra time to allocate 2 resources to the same task.
Good. Sanction busting for one of the most evil regimes in the world is reprehensible.
I did. It was an first-principles architectural decision. A client could request any point-in-time within the contracted period, and it could be either a restoration or a fully operational, parallel instance of the account.

It was initially a cover-my-own-ass design, but it turned out to be an extremely popular feature that was never even used for disaster recovery. Instead, it was used for audit support, trial scenarios, projections, and all kinds of other stuff.
Looks like standard machines and not really servers, but there's nothing wrong there. Fairly clean wiring, no random cables, etc etc. HDD testing is a little sketchy, but they need to be quick-swapped, so it makes sense.

Ever been in a firewall/router manufacturers R&D/QA lab room? Those are so, so much worse. This is heaven by comparison.
You mean your poor practices and bad design. The only way to prevent this type of issue in the future is to admit the failures.

IANAL but IMHO if the commerce clause prevented states from controlling who,what, and how moves on its roads then it surely had been used already to abolish state licensing and registration for one. Not to mention smog checks, weight stations, California Border Protection Stations etc.

All the time. Most recent was a little node app to quickly create Google Meet meeting links. For example when using MacOS Calendar and wanting to schedule in a video call. There isn’t an official Google Meet API so you have to create a Google Calendar event via the API and then add the meeting to that.

This was wrapped in a MacOS Automator workflow, which in turn was wrapped by a keyboard trigger in BetterTouchTool. So now, when I hit Cmd Shift M, a Google Meeting link is created and pasted wherever my cursor happens to be!

It makes a little boing noise too when it pastes the URL which never ceases to please me.
this is addressed in the blurb before the blog post even begins.
This is good advice. I would only add that it can sometimes be difficult for a person to know how they are feeling or why. You have to know how you're feeling before you can meaningfully express yourself as "when you do X I feel Y".
Question regarding the recipe example. Does Google deduct quality points the more ads that are put on the website? A long time ago, I recall hearing how Google was able to beat Yahoo by focusing on quality of ads & a higher click rate. Has Google defeated it's rivals & switched to their tactics?

Side note, I prefer DDG as my search but only because of the bang operators. For recipes !b added to the search lets me use Bing. As the article points out, Bing is really awesome for searching for recipes.

Looks like I need to start trying out Neeva & You.com. They had some nice features in this article.

Neeva seems to be stealing all the important content from the recipe website which is a highly discussed issue. Bing tries to walk this line by making you still go to the website to read the instructions. Obviously people have trashed Google for doing this same thing on other kinds of websites. Though blogger recipe websites have somewhat encouraged this behavior due to their insane amount of ads & life stories they're well known for.
The thing you're still stuck on is the idea that you can update the driver. That's the part that's frozen in time. Whatever abstraction/API you happened to use for it, that's what you're stuck with. You (often) can't then bolt on newer features onto that old driver without changing the driver.

The API that apps use, that's irrelevant. That's "trivially" kept stable. It's the API that hardware uses, and adding features to it retroactively that's extremely difficult if possible at all.

In the cases where it is possible to do layering, it's almost always in the reverse direction. Such as ANGLE implementing WebGL/GLES onto things more powerful & flexible than GLES is.

> And things like FP16, which are used mostly to provide higher perf/efficiency machine learning

I wasn't clear on this but I was referring to FP16 FBOs, which was something GLES 3 added that GLES 2 didn't have (instead of 8888 FBOs)

They seem to do both, at least on some models? On my thinkpad running openbsd, the speaker mute can become desynced. Audio won't play unless both are unmuted. Pushing the button will flip flop the software state, but not the reverse (although I believe that code could be written, it doesn't exist). So if you soft mute, then push button, hardware mutes and software unmutes, but sound still doesn't play.
I created a program to use locally for testing emails. It creates intermittent latency and errors on SMTP side and helps you catch code that cannot handle SMTP/network issues (no retry, synchronous code). Now I offer it as a hosted solution and use it myself with every project I develop. If interested project name is Mailsnag and it can be found at https://mailsnag.com/
I'd consider it broken. In many other cases, if I make a typo in my search, Google will (rather prominently, IMO) at the top of the search display something like:

> Showing results for "When did Neil Armstrong set foot on the Moon?"

> Show instead for "When did Neil Armwrong set foot on the Moon?"

However, it seems to only work for actual spelling errors (e.g. if I typed Armstrong incorrectly) vs. context errors.

So to answer your question, I'd expect Google calling out its interpretation, but not necessarily a "never".
The "profit" you're pointing at is money that Google pays DeepMind to do software and machine learning as a service for them. This pays off, for example with Jax, where nobody in Google Research could touch it because Jeff Dean/Tensorflow, until DM demonstrated (with alphafold) that Jax could do nobel-prize-winning research, to the point where Jeff has admitted that tensorflow has serious problems and systems like jax are the future (see the palm paper!!!)
In Elden Ring, the Struggle Feels Real
>"if there are not many good results, maybe I'm not asking the right questions"

I used to think this way too, but I've come to realize that Google has turned from a search engine that returns results based on my input to an answer engine that actively tries to reframe whatever I enter into some other more generic query - usually with the intent of selling me something or returning SEO spam. I've also found that the old google-fu techniques are now so unreliable that they must have been deprecated. I can't tell you how often I use quotes in my query and see results that don't contain that text at all.

I think this is the "have cake and eat it" scenario. Crypto fans want a fresh supply of dumb money into the system to keep their line going up. But also want the more complex scams that might catch them out regulated away.
as long as you can scrape their stock from the website, it exists. If you can't, then this site can't solve it.

For example, I look for photography equipment prices (in canada) using photoprice.ca, which scrapes canadian camera stores that have their stock online like henry's or broadway camera, as well as comparing against amazon.ca, amazon.com, and US stores that ship to canada like Adorama and B&H.

The issue is just 'is the data available'. None of that makes it profitable if it's just loaves of bread.
