Yep, I would suggest to go indie instead of using a posting platform. Platforms die, limit your control and growth options.

Grab a domain ($1 sale at Namecheap atm), generate the site from simple markdown files using Zola (it's basically a better Hugo — if you've heard of it), and host at Netlify for free.

People who prefer a specific language would prefer a framework / generator in that language. Zola is a somewhat neutral option — since you didn't mention your preferences for the language.

Same with the services. I personally prefer Cloudflare as both registrar and hosting, but Netlify would be a bit more intuitive to start with.

Like you, I love clean blog layouts. Shouldn't be a problem if you have a CSS background, but there are themes at the Zola site if you are busy. Not all are great, but there are a couple of neat and clean ones.

P.S. At first I was a bit surprised to see such question here, but then realized that it's actually smart to ask HK — as most of the googleable content is affiliate crap.

Economics 101: the number of subscribers is not too important if the total revenue (from fewer customers at a higher price) is up.
When their annual revenue is $368 billion and their net income is $95 billion (in 2021), a couple hundred million dollars doesn’t really move the needle.

So you pick examples from more than 70 years ago. That's how good American PR is.

Would you prefer being deported to Siberia or blown apart by a drone?

Yet in the current war in Ukraine they are portrayed as being weak for not carpet bombing like the US would in one of their 'peace-keeping' missions.

> Human life has no price for Russian dictators.

If you believe the narrative that the recent US wars in the Middle East were about setting up democracies, then they have completely failed and led to the needless loss of millions of lives. I'm not convinced human life has a price for American presidents, but I guess they say that it does, so it must be true.

> You should not be teaching reproduction to kindergartners as a public school teacher.

As it did no harm to me, I cannot agree. In fact, I have yet to hear one instance of a child coming to harm learning that knowledge in a healthy way at the kindergarten age.

My position is that is a case-by-case question. Does it need to be on the syllabus (what passes for a syllabus in kindergarten)? Maybe not. Should parents be able to sue if the topic comes up organically? No, that's quite disruptive to what should be a collaborative process. And given how little we know of the hard sciences of either child psychology or mass education, bringing force of law down on this topic is severe government overreach.

Entitled, huh? I don’t see what entitles you to any particular mode of living, but its your ethos.

Suburbs may be the majority (I have no idea if thats true), but that doesn’t make them self-sustaining. They only exist because cities paid for highways, water, and power infrastructure to make it all possible (and continue to fund their maintenance) - exponentially moreso the further west you go.

Taking this more generally (based on multiple education establishments).

1. For most, nope, not really, it's about passing exams, try thinking of masters courses or doctorates the real cash-grabs. Solving of complex problems in a truely independent way requires being given enough room to fail and having to ask for help.

2. Maybe, but again, rewards are very how-to-exam or how-to-write, how to ingest material maybe but little how to actually learn from the ground up into unexplored new non-textbook territory.

3. Foundational skills are a requirement for most skilled labour, if you don't follow the field you will never use these skills and frankly then a lot of this is wasted and I've both tought and experienced people having their eyes gloss over. Not everyone truely cares 'why?'.

4. Frankly a very bold statement with little direct evidence of research based consistent arguing from undergrads based on a consistent framework/process. If so a lot of discourse wouldn't be so tragically painful in skilled online forms. If you were tought how to embrase realising you're wrong in an argument I might agree, but generally most aren't.

5. This is the same argument for learning the classics before going into finance. My response is still the same, it's nice for the rich...

Post-graduate education has become what all of university is advertised as imo, the undergrad seems to be more and more kinder-garden for adults unfortunately. (Speaking from not being able to shout at students who can't understand the concept of binary numbers anymore...)
As late as the mid-90s the vast majority of American cities had a median house price to income ratio of 3. California was 3.5-4 and New York was 5 iirc. A lot of factors converged to upend this, but within living memory housing markets were affordable. Whether everyone lived "where they wanted to" is unknowable.
It reminds me of the “grandma bait” movies you’d see in the checkout line at the dollar store, things clearly designed to look like big budget movies that grandma heard the kids liked.

It's not just the price, though. Selling, say, Super Mario Bros. for $5 would be bad enough, but Nintendo has been forcing people to buy the same games over and over again because there's no way to move them to newer consoles when they come out.

> If developers build more luxury housing, that'll reduce the price of existing housing, such that it becomes affordable.

If the last few decades have taught us anything, it'd that location (and every social category that location encodes) matters to people more than luxury, or rather a desirable location is the biggest luxury.

This is why a 3 BD fixer-upper in Palo Alto will cost more than a luxury 5 bedroom house in East San Jose.

To have any effect on housing prices I desirable places, you'd have to build gobs more housing in the highly desirable places, but those are usually the places most opposed to new housing development. And if you build a little bit more, because location dominates all, the existing housing would be as expensive as the new luxury housing in that location, because there is always a higher demand/supply ratio to live in Palo Alto than for East San Jose.

By the same token, building luxury housing in less desirable places won't change things unless you somehow make those places more desirable, but that takes a lot more than new luxury apartments. You usually have to change the kind of people that inhabit that location.

We absolutely need to build more housing of all categories everywhere, but it won't have much effect on housing costs until we address transportation, public education, and crime, the massive factors that affect housing costs.
GIMP's UX is not objectively terrible. I use both Photoshop and GIMP and between the 2, GIMP is much easier to use for simple photo edits and manipulations.

Sure, Photoshop has chops, it can do amazing stuff with ease, but I prefer GIMP's layout, it makes far more sense to me and it is quick and easy. Maybe if I had started with Photoshop I would agree with you but it does work well once you get it, and it doesn't take long to get it, and that combo is what makes for "objectively good" UX.
Personally, I'd much rather wait for a 1-2 second page load than have a page load quickly and peg one of my CPUs because of some poorly written Javascript.

I believe pg_upgrade isn't guaranteed to always work; it's possible they might change the table storage such that it's unreadable in a new version, and pg_upgrade is documented to fail if so. However, I don't think it's ever happened. That may just be an abundance of caution in the documentation. I wonder why the author of this article didn't mention this possibility.

SQL Server is designed to run in a Windows Server Failover Cluster; the SQL Server-side feature is called "Always On availability groups" in an HA configuration. It's a single-master arrangement, you can either have a fully passive secondary (that's what we do) or read-only replicas. The WSFC handles managing quorum, that's what causes the automatic failover as soon as >50% of the nodes are running the new version.
I second the "disastrously bad". "Let's all vote on how much money you're allowed to have" is not going to end well.

But a 20% consumption tax isn't the answer. The problem the GP is trying to address is how much the rich have, not how much they spend. The rich spend less of what they have - that's how they stay rich. A spending tax won't touch them.

I agree that corporate welfare needs to go.
Agreed, my company focuses on writing business logic that actually provides value to our customers, spends roughly 0 time configuring web infrastructure, and everything just works, our cloud costs are dirt cheap (especially when compared to cost of labor), the performance is better than if we had used a traditional server since code is being run on servers very near our users rather than a fixed location, and we save time, stress and money by not needing to hire cynical, behind the times sysadmins like deckard1.

Maybe that wouldn’t be the case if my company wasn’t a B2B SaaS that isn’t constrained by being the scaling concerns of a mass market consumer web app (specifically one that couldn’t scale via smart caching policies, which honestly is a minority of use cases), but for our use case it makes plenty of sense.

If you’re worried about cost overruns from auto scaling, you just set a billing limit and deal with it when you get close. Anyway the code we push to serverless is literally just the business logic we would have written anyway so there’s virtually no platform lock-in. And honestly my serverless costs are so cheap that it’ll be a long while before we bother touching them.
The cost difference for different quality was a huge mistake I feel - as I suspect most people with streaming have more than one, and if they opted for the $10 plan it will look like absolute shite compared to the other plans they have, or even YouTube.

That’s a big turn off and another reason to axe it.
It's a big source of revenue for Disney, but I don't know what their business calculus is. It would be very cool if they just walked away, it would be a huge loss for Florida.

For me, the app version is able to detect mockingbirds (and the similar mimicking Brown Thrasher) as themselves most of the time. I'm honestly impressed it can do it at all for their songs on small samples.
> I agree that if somebody played with their phone while on Autopilot, it would be dangerous.

I know people who use auto-pilot like this. The technology enables it.

> while I have not measured my "Autopilot disengagement reaction time", I am sure it is in the range of mere milliseconds.

That seems impossible. The human reaction time to decide the appropriate response to driving stimulus is 500 ms (when an engaged driver). The human reaction time to apply a change once the decision is made is 200 ms. Add to that however many ms it takes to notice that the Tesla is not responding the way you want (say it's as immediate as any other stimulus, so another 500 ms) and you can see how it's not as safe.

> to make that happen, Tesla needs this current generation of "supervised Autopilot". Because somebody's got to train and fine-tune that neural network.

I see no reason why my commutes should be more dangerous or my driving should be made riskier to train an AI I am not being compensated for nor consenting to improve.
Can you also auto-shard with rqlite, or is it only designed to distribute a single set of data among many SQLite instances?

EDIT: Looks like no: "rqlite is about replicating a set of data, which has been written to it using SQL. The data is replicated for fault tolerance because your data is so important that you want multiple copies distributed in different places, you want be able to query your data even if some machines fail, or both."
> If someone can sue you they probably will

Not really. People will normally try to resolve things without going to court unless there is a time sensitive issue that they need emergency relief like a temporary restraining order to secure, or they just want to make a point more than get compensation, because resolution without court is cheaper (meaning they get to keep more of the recovery), quicker, and—where an ongoing relationship is involved—less likely to burn bridges.

People who can sue you, and would have you dead to rights, will often bend over backwards to avoid it as long as possible without losing the option if there is a plausible chance at resolution without going to court.
eyyy good troll
"[They] may offer cheaper ad-supported plans"

Ya right, it will definitely happen. It's only a matter of time. They should offer a free tier. I'm sure there are plenty of shows that few to no one watches. Those should be included in a free ad supported tier.

The growth spur has ended The "growth" premium in their stock will soon disappear so the stock's price will start to trade based on earnings rather than future growth. I have my doubts about the company remaining as an independent entity. They chose quantity over quality so there are few Netflix shows that people really want to watch. It was a good run.
> I don't see how this is problematic in the slightest.

Because it's part of a new trend to de facto ban stuff the governing party would like to ban despite it being theoretically constitutionally protected by creating new civil offences and encouraging vexatious litigants to file nuisance suits. In this case the outcome is, as the state which passed the bill intended, that homosexuals are being harassed out of their jobs.

Regarding the state circumventing constitutional protections to make references to the gender of their partner a potentially career-limting move for certain minorities as less problematic than a company adding suggestions to avoid gendered language as a [clunky] grammar checking feature of its software is a point of view, I guess....
Or... they already had this planned by a submarine PR Interview from the Head of Marketing or something like that like a few weeks back.

You can forgive (or not) a human when they fuck up. This is a real, meaningful, valuable part of the experience of dealing with injustice, negligence, etc. It's why witness statements are given due weight in courts.

We already know how frustrating, depressing and dehumanising it can be to experience corporate negligence, where responsibility is diffused to such an extent that it becomes meaningless.

AI will magnify this frustration a thousand-fold unless we acknowledge this problem and put the brakes on AI deployment until we work out how to fix it. And it may be that the problem is insoluble.

It's too all-or-nothing. I would suggest splitting general ed. into 4 levels and the major into 4. Or maybe into 3, with 1 being the optional "minor". Resumes would then have something like "G:2, M:3". The equivalent of a 4yr degree with a minor would be "G:4, M:3, N:1", where "N" is the minor.

However, doing this well will require a degree standardization, and thus cooperation. That's the hard part.

Netflix streaming has such absolute garbage movie selection compared to Netflix DVD service, Amazon Prime Video, and Youtube.

I don't understand why that is.

With all their wealth they should be able to at least compete on movie selection with the other major streaming services. But instead they are many times worse.
You're saying "it's not a fork, it just uses an earlier, modified version of the codebase". What is a fork if not that?

I don't know how divergent it is, probably quite a lot at this point. The concepts should still be very close though and that should mean that a lot of tooling is theoretically portable between the two.
YouTube is pretty good for renting old movies
No, migration programmes worldwide currently lack logic. They often make no economic sense.

Unions across the EU historically opposed free movement of labour for a very simple reason: it is used by employers to create surplus labour and drive down the cost of wages. This is not actually a bad reason to oppose it. But that aside, almost every other reason is bad, regressive, and grounded in culture, racism, or fear.

Angela Merkel, who I abhor politically otherwise, was very sensible when she accepted 1.5m migrants. Germany needed them, because the birthrate in the developed economies has been shrinking. They need them for labour replacement not for wage dilution. It is why Germany needed turkish labour post ww2.

Britain needs labour. The opposition to EU free movement was based in little englander nightmares, the reality is that having closed the door to europe, Britain is opening the door to other economies like India. There will be no end of migration to the UK, simply migration "on their terms"

If you want somewhere with open door migration policy, Uruguay isn't bad. Its a local IT hub for the region of south america, it's an interesting place. It is very insular, high italian migration and medium-to-low levels of english competency and it has a lot of poverty, but its a long way from its nightmare of the 1980s.

Ireland isn't open door but its a nice place. As is estonia, the digital passport isn't citizenship but they have roads to citizenship. It's a bit close to mother Russia if you ask me!

Vietnam is a cool place for westerners who are prepared to accept the planned economy. It has remarkably good infrastructure in the cities. Less outside of the city, but not bad overall. I don't think they have open door citizenship.

Germany is well worth committing to, but has high barriers to entry. That said, free tertiary education.
