I feel like the explanation is a much more simple: it's easier to use Azure/AWS/GCP for everything.

Yeah, this migration might have been somewhat painful, but it looks like it's a situation the company experiences every few years.
I use ripgrep all the time, and it's written in Rust, although I wouldn't give a flying shit if it was written in C, Go, or C++. It's just a real solid piece of software.
The other odd thing is to see so many journalists who have walked away from supporting free speech. They used to be some of the strongest supporters.

The cynical take is that free speech is great when you're the institutional gate-keeper, but not so much when the plebs can publish what they want.
That happens, hard to say how often, but it happened to us.

On my current house they said there was another competing offer and it was a close choice, they asked if we wanted to increase our bid to be more competitive. We dropped it by $15k and it turned out the competing offer wasn’t even close to our initial offer. They just wanted to know if we’d throw in $5k or $10k more.

From the description in the video, it looks like this only works with soup. Is that correct? If so, it seems like it would be better to embed in the bowl than in the chopsticks, to avoid the need for wires and the wrist-worn device.
I think this posts misses the most important piece, the real secret sauce, which is how do you sift through massive streams of data and separate the signals from the noise? And how do you do so continuously so that as soon as an edge evaporates you don't keep trading it?

I think the key insight they made here is much less sophisticated than many think. The usual guess is that all these math geniuses have some magic statistical models that tell them the answer, but I don't think that's it. There are known, good ways to detect these things, and most (if not all) hedge funds are aware of them.

I think the magic is in the systems engineering they have done. It is a system which is able to evaluate the quality of a signal as it would be traded. Traditionally, quants come up with models that they then backtest to "prove" before doing live trading. A lot of models that look great on paper, or on historic data, fall flat in real-world trading. Hedge funds spend significant time and resources on quality back-testing data and systems, and I think Renaissance has been able to take this to a whole new level.

This is all mainly a guess on my part, but based on the book The Man Who Solved the Market, which alludes to this system without going into details (obviously). It is much less exciting than some super sophisticated ML models or what-not that people imagine is the source of their success.

This post focuses on the leverage, which is great for goosing the returns, but isn't the whole story. Put another way, if you could magically be gifted some part of Ren, which you rather have their special leverage arrangements, or the signal vs. noise oracle?
Now that history persists in just about as raw, unadulterated of a form as possible (archived print, video, audio) I would like to see pointed, in-depth analysis of those times in history that were truly inflection points - what did we get right and what did we get wrong? Pull directly from the opinion pieces and headlines from X number of years ago and look at it from a critical eye. People have such short term memory that it would be beneficial to revisit these things.

Americans are - in fact - responsible for a lot.

Like people fleeing the Northern Triangle are absolutely someone that US has a moral obligation to help.

Arguably helping people in Cuba, Venezuela or Taiwan - is less of a moral imperative. Because those issues aren't American responsibility anymore.

Neither of them are correct. Genesis is a synthesis of the mythology of the region. The meaning is vastly more important than the message.
I wanted to read the justification for why "AMP harms users' privacy, security and internet experience", but the link ironically points to a Google doc for which access is restricted. Is there an open version of this somewhere?
No one talks about the fact that we focus development on the core cities only. Between Calgary and Edmonton there is Red Deer and small towns. No one city half the size of YEG.
So 10 houses a year per person of the %2? That still sounds very plausible for high net worth investors, again especially if the purpose is to move/wash/hide cash, which my understanding is, generally is one of those 3 for overseas investments.

If they are washing or hiding, they don't care as much about the profit, so it makes sense they would be buying in larger numbers if they can.
What is "in-place" about this? According to the docs you'll have ~10min downtime and you'll loose table statistics which is exactly what happens when you run pg_upgrade manually.

The biggest problem with all the cloud providers is that you won't know exactly when this 10 minute downtime window will start

I guess the only advantage here is that you don't have to do 9->10->11->12->13->14 like in the past and maybe that was one of the blockers Azure has. AWS allows to skip some major versions but 9->14 is not possible.
This person's blog is very interesting. Thank you for sharing!
It might need a landing parachute on short or icy runways. The other concerns mentioned is that stealth is compromised with drop tanks which are needed for range. There might be other concerns?
No, or not exactly. It appears to me that they are suggesting (or rather, modelling) using the doppler shift to precisely measure the trajectories of the spacecraft on the way to those planets in order to get a measurement of the gravitational field that is acting on them and thus a measurement of any dark matter that may be present.
I reinterpreted it as "be the you you would be if you could control who you are", but that doesn't exactly roll off the tongue
Actually `context.rewrite` returns a `Promise<Response>`. The `async` isn't necessary here, but it also doesn't particularly hurt. You can return a `Promise` from an async function no problem.
Great question. Brave's advertising is presently done on the New Tab Page, via Sponsored Images. No AMP impact there. Users who opt-in to Brave's Ad Notifications will occasionally (frequency thresholds are governed by the user) see a native notification displayed outside of the browser. No apparent AMP impact there either.

Where AMP could impact things is for the publisher. Publishers are able to verify their domains/properties, and receive BAT contributions from Brave users visiting their content. If that publisher is having their content served through Google's domain, that would impact their ability to receive support from visitors.
Since it's being returned it doesn't really matter whether `.rewrite()` is returning a promise or not. `return await x` is mostly equivalent to `return x` within an async function.
Was the theory discounted for no reason? I thought it was discounted because the evidence was weak at the time. Especially in comparison to how vigorously it was being pushed by politicos in power.

For example, if someone killed a bunch of people and the head of the FBI said, "A black guy is doing it!" with no real evidence then I think banning it might be more justified. Now it may turn out that a black guy is the one doing the killing, but that doesn't make the pronouncements of the FBI head justified (although I'm sure the FBI head would feel justified).
Even sub-regional. Hip second tier Midwestern cities have probably appreciated considerably more than my parents' aging first ring Midwestern suburb.
It's extremely difficult to evaluate RCS by looking visually at an aircraft. Who would have thought that the F-117 would be stealthy? And the reason the F-35 only has one engine is because it has a much higher thrust than the RD-93 on the FC31. This increase in thrust "might" increase its IR signature, and neither has any IR shielding like on the F-22.
For anyone asking why enterprises disallow any code with the letters "GPL" anywhere near the license, here is your answer...

My subjective impression is that Debian has been losing ground, especially against Arch. I don't think firmware is the main issue - the complex packaging method and the contradictory nature of Debian 'testing' are the main issues. Yet this change will help, so I'm in favour.
If you are talking about r/Ottawa, I can explain their reaction. What happened in downtown Ottawa was not a protest, but an occupation with heavy machinery in an attempt to make the PM look bad, and have to step down. There were many, many posters in that sub trying to paint the whole thing as a peaceful protest, but after a week of 150 air horns for ~18 hours a day, the benefit of the doubt was gone, and everyone repeating the same garbage was turfed.

Additionally, the sub saw many multiples of normal traffic, so mods were quick to ban anyone posting anything resembling a Fox talking point.

The study pivots around popular perceptions of QAnon/Pizzagate as the archetype of "misinformation" and has zero mention of its political mirror-image, Russiagate. Both are false and ridiculous conspiracy theories aimed at defaming the opposing leadership. By omitting one of the two elephants (donkeys?) in the room, it has hard to take this study seriously. Very poor experimental design.
VR headsets are so much cheaper than any 3D TV now, and can still do 3D movies, and can be made bigger than whatever TV setup you have, and don't have the drawback of darker image from needing to wear 3D glasses.

I'm curious if 3D movies (or maybe even 180/360 degree movies) might start to become more of a thing again if/when VR becomes more prominent.
> I haven't heard of any actual NFTs that granted any powers that your average pog doesn't though.

Not sure how familiar you are with the NFT space, in another comment I used Bored Ape Yacht Club as an example, let’s start with that.

If you own a pog, does that give you commercial rights to monetize the copyrighted artwork on the pog? Admittedly I’m not overly familiar with the pog market, but I don’t think purchase of any pog gives the own any underlying commercial rights to the IP.

It’s true not every NFT/NFT collection bestows the owner with commercial rights to a copyrighted work, but Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs is just one example which provides owners commercial rights to the underlying copyrighted image.

More importantly copyrighted works, like artwork, are not the only assets an NFT can represent. Further, you are correct with your example that they can be, and in fact have been, used to represent the right to redeem for a specific good/service by any bearer. Ticketing is in fact one such real world example.
I am generally a fan of using as few moving parts as possible but if > 60-70% (2TB + a "few hundred GB") of your prod database are an append only audit log surely if would make sense to split that part into a separate DB server? Especially when you are using a hosted service. It sounds like both uptime and consistency requirements are very different between these two parts of the production data.
Just wanted to ask, this pretty much ensures you're doing waterfall development, as opposed to agile, right?

This is a truly horrifying piece of technology, destined to destroy the livelihoods of countless artists. It's incredible in terms of the technology, but... scary in equal measure.

I can't think of a single good reason for this to exist that doesn't have huge negative impacts on our world.

> I feel like the tech bubble is really just an outgrowth of an economic boom; big money rolls in, and needs a place to go

This is true, but missing an important aspect: This is what happens when you have an economic boom that primarily goes to the already-wealthy.

When there's an economic boom that goes proportionally (or more) to the middle-class and below, there's no need to figure out where the money should go. It goes to fixing up the house, to paying down debts, to paying rent, to buying new clothes.

The only time money "needs a place to go" is when it's coming in to people who already have more than they know what to do with.
The strategic reasoning I've seen levied was:

1. UK promises to ship anti-ship Harpoon missiles to Ukraine.

2. Ukraine was holding these Neptune missiles as the "ace in the hole" if the Odessa amphibious landing was ever to occur. After all, destroying enemy ships would kill most amphibious landing plans.

3. Since "Harpoons" are promised, Ukraine was suddenly in a position where it could use some weapons "recklessly", fishing to get lucky. As long as the UK's Harpoons arrive in time to defend Odessa in time, then the use of the Neptune missiles would be worth the tradeoff (even if there was a high chance of failure).

------

On the other hand, Ukraine built the Moskva (in the Mykolayiv Shipyard). The 1990s refit of the Moskva was also handed by the Mykoalyiv shipyard (IE: Ukrainians not only built the original ship, but also handled one of the upgrades). It is quite possible that Ukraine had deep knowledge about the capabilities of the Moskva, and this was "less luck" than any of us can see.

Us in the USA may have overestimated the capabilities of the Moskva, while the Ukrainians knew more details about how / when to attack it for maximum chance of effectiveness. What they needed was a plan to defend Odessa however once those missiles were used up. UK providing a "backfill" of Harpoon missiles was therefore all Ukraine needed to go with the "lets try to get lucky" plan.
Would you mind giving me an example of something that’s declarative vs imperative? I see this distinction made all the time and for the life of me I still don’t understand it.

Or rather, I’ve never seen “declarative” code that I’ve liked. I watched a YouTube video once wherein two bits of code achieved the same thing, but one was imperative and the other declarative. I preferred the “imperative” code every time because I could actually read it, see what was going on. The “declarative” code seemed like it was obfuscating something or engaging in a bit too much magic for my tastes.

All the cool kids prefer declarative though, so I’m wondering what I’m missing.

The problem with housing costs going up, is that they need to be permanently higher or it will have a bubble burst like effect. Imagine if the state of California did something that cut the real-estate prices down 30%... Well now people who bought when real-estate was 10% lower than the original value are upside down and will panic sell.
> Also, we're talking a once in a 100+ year event.

The 2008 financial crisis was also a once in a 100+ year event.

So was the 2020 Covid-19 pandemic.

And the 2022 Russo - Ukrainian war.

And now I wonder what "once in 100+ year event" we'll have next year.
Nobody complained about Google's RSS monopolizing because the search engine doesn't provide RSS URLs in the top results, unlike they do for AMP links, at least nearly as frequently.
RSS is also far from a similar case study to AMP in how web content is delivered. RSS optional, AMP was a lazy web dev's means to presenting pages over mobile without having to think about layout. At least that's what if felt like to me as a web user.

Goods don’t rise and fall in lockstep but standard figures aren’t bad.

In 1929 pig iron was 18.43$ per ton, it was $640-650 per tonne on March 7. Inflation calculator suggests it should be ~309$/ton which is fairly close across 92years but low. It also spiked to 1000+$/ton a few months later. https://www.usinflationcalculator.com/

Gasoline on the other hand was 0.21$/ gallon in 1929 plug into the inflation calculator and you get $3.53 much closer.

Chicken was 42¢/lb in 1929 New York same inflation number gives $7.06/pound today which is high.

What really messes things up is when goods stop representing the same thing across time. A new house in 1929 house was likely though not guaranteed to have indoor plumbing but AC was rare even though both where available back then. Of course 1929 AC was often focused on humility control not just temperature so again not apples to apples but in the other direction. Look for a comparable home base on floor space, number of bathrooms etc and housing prices are rising much slower than many charts suggest.

Essentially young people will probably need to migrate and start a fresh in some underdeveloped city. I'm a millennial and this seems like it will be the case for me too. The older generations essentially rode a big wave to prosperity, our generations will essentially be riding the wave as it is collapsing, while not quite as bad as the great depression generation, millenials, gen z, alpha will need to build a new. It is futile to compare our lives to boomers who essentially had it pretty easy.
> Moreover, if your PO can't define the goals, and what needs to be tested to get there, well you have a problem.

In some work environments, there may be unspoken requirements, or requirements that the people who want the work done don't know they have.

For example, in an online shopping business the head of marketing wants to be able to allocate a free gift to every customer's first order. That's a nice simple business requirement, clearly expressed and straight from the user's mouth.

But there are a bunch of other requirements:

* If the gift item is out of stock, it should not appear as a missing item on the shipping manifest

* If every other item is out of stock, we should not send a shipment with only the gift.

* If we miss the gift from their first order, we should include it in their second order.

* The weight of an order should not include the gift when calculating the shipping charge for the customer, but should include it when printing the shipping label.

* If the first order the customer places is for a backordered item, and the second order they place will arrive before their 'first' order, the gift should be removed from the 'first' order and added to the 'second' order, unless the development cost of that feature is greater than $3000 in which case never mind.

* The customer should not be charged for the gift.

* If the gift item is also available for paid purchase, orders with a mix of gift and paid items should behave sensibly with regard to all the features above.

* Everything above should hold true even if the gift scheme is ended between the customer checking out and their order being dispatched.

* The system should be secure, not allowing hackers to get multiple free gifts, or to get arbitrary items for free.

* The software involved in this should not add more than, say, half a second to the checkout process. Ideally a lot less than that.

Who is responsible for turning the head of marketing's broad requirement into that list of many more, much narrower requirements?

Depending on the organisation it could be a business analyst, a product owner, a project manager, an engineer as part of planning the work, an engineer as part of the implementation, or just YOLO into production and wait for the unspoken requirements to appear as bug reports.
This is so weird, I wasn't saying Chinese government was stupid. All I said was that prices may go down. I don't know how you could look at their economic progress in the last thirty years and not think they are doing something right.

And if you think the US is stupid, well I hope you don't live there.
