I run a startup and work in another.

In my startup we use mostly linode and handle a lot of volume. I have a few VPSs and some dedicated hardware for specific tasks. Monthly bill roughly 200-250USD all included.

The other startup used the AWS free credits. Got extra credits and lived it up. Adopted Kubernetes and all the big AWS stuff. Brought in a few devops professionals. All super smart people.

Monthly spend 7kUSD on traffic/usage that's actually much smaller than the one I have with my startup. Availability is roughly the same (if anything, my startup has better uptime).

So yes, this is an Apples to Oranges comparison. I get that. They can better scale in theory etc. But if they pay 7k right now, I can't imagine how expensive it will be when they scale.

They started just using EC2 but slowly got roped into AWS services so now they have no vendor neutrality and no viable/easy way to reduce these costs.
Why 15,000-year-old art may have been displayed in firelight
No, most fuzz testing frameworks I know of these days do not use even distributions. Most use even more sophisticated techniques such as instrumenting the code to detect when state transitions are triggered to try to maximize hitting all code paths in a program instead of repeatedly fuzzing the same path.

There should be an net worth total asset cap for senate and presidential eligibility. How the fuck can you be expected to run a country when your blind to the experience of 99% of the country. That’s before you get into his obvious conflict of interest mentioned in another comment here. It’s difficult enough when these people are divorced from reality and beholden to corporate sponsors bankrolling their next campaign but when it’s their own corporate self-interests and wealth that are paying for their campaigns then it’s just insane.

I’d think much beyond 10 million in total assets at current day value and you should be ineligible for office.

It may still be hard to prove intent by distinguishing intent from stupidity. Also, if he intended to crash the plane, he did so very stupidly on top, by not following most of what he should have done.

Just wearing a parachute in a plane is unusual and suspicious, but that can't be the kind of thing that holds up in court. There are legitimate reasons to jump out of a failing plane...
You shouldn't throw all of Europe into one pot. Drinking culture is radically different in different countries, and even in different regions in the same country.
Depends on which "creature" you consider has free will.

I think it confirms a sci-fi theory that I have: if you want to "upload" a human to a computer, it's not enough to copy the brain. You basically have to copy and simulate the whole body.

Not an answer, but that looks very cool!

Maybe that type of plastic has a rough surface making this happen? Glass is much smoother so maybe this is why it doesn't happen in glass.

I never anticipated doing this as a career, so the projects are just scattered over the hard drives of old laptops. Also, some of them are a bit too idiosyncratic (for e.g, in recent years I mostly treat PHP as a functional scripting language — with no good justification other than finding it fun — rather than doing OO stuff) for mainstream applicability.

> Swap will destroy SSDs. You thought the write load from logging is bad? Try putting a consumer-grade SSD into a machine with 512 GiB RAM and let the kernel swap to it -- that SSD will be dead in a year.

I have an OCZ Vertex LE in a 32-bit laptop that was my daily driver for somewhat-serious development for the better part of a decade and sees somewhat regular use as a bedside media consumption machine. It ran (and still runs) Gentoo Linux, so -while it was my daily driver- its drive saw _frequent_ writes due to weekly system-updating-build activity.

This machine has 4GiB of RAM installed, of which only 3.2 GiB is available due to weird BIOS limitations. It has _always_ had swap enabled, and has _often_ made heavy use of it.

This SSD has 93,560 power-on hours, and has written 48,384 GiB. As far as I (and SMART) can tell, it's as good as the day I flashed the v1.1 firmware on it.

I don't believe your claim is generally true. Other folks who have intentionally run drives _way_ past their advertised wear-out points have similar stories to mine.
> At first glance, it sounds like a better implementation than soldered memory. However, CAMM would effectively blockade users from memory upgrades unless they purchase directly from Dell.

So... At first glance it sounds better than not being able to upgrade at all, but if you really think about it, you have to purchase upgrades from Dell.
How about Fusarium molds which are present in many foods like nuts, grains, coffee and chocolate? These Fusarium molds produce zearalenone, a potent estrogen mimetic which was linked to homosexual behavior and infertility in farm animals that ate Fusarium infected grains[1]. These molds can infect and become persistent in humans[2]. Sure, it's extremely controversial subject matter to even suggest this linkage, but I'll take the downvotes.

That really depends on the industry and company, if you work for facebook,amazon for example, the hours mean nothing but meanwhile, those who work in these companies usually got 3x, 4x pay over the similar positions in other companies.

So it's really the hour rate that matters at the end of day. If you can pull a million a year guess you would be too much adamant about hours. The question is what your objective is, money, or freetime, or whatever your priority.
Akiyoshi Kitaoka is and has been the king of optical illusions for as long as I can remember. My undergraduate thesis in 2005 was based on his work [0], and even at that time he had a huge body of work.

I can't say what's an exaggeration, and I don't know I'd call any place a haven. Japan isn't perfect, and raising kids here has issues, sure.

It seems we've had completely different experiences. Through shibuya/yoyogi area, I pass a half dozen parks (kids are playing double dutch, soccer, pitching baseballs), 2 rec sports field and countless kids of all ages walking alone or with friends. Not to mention the preschool children being wheeled around in those huge laundry carts.

Often topics on here and reddit become "Which place is best?" but I don't think that way. I'm happy for you and your family's move to Calgary, and have no doubt it's better for your kids.

Compared to when I lived in the bay area (and then rural America before that), it's a stark contrast and I appreciate any city that where most people can feel safe walking around just about anywhere, whether that's Calgary or Tokyo.

I usually chime in with Tokyo talk not say "yay Japan is the best!" but rather "America deserve at least a little better than it's getting."
It’s not at all the same. In Smalltalk, you can modify your environment in real time.
I can't for the life of me find where the article talks about live-lock and the OOM killer. I searched for "lock" and "OOM" and none of them related to that.
Probably need an actual physicist to answer this one, but if the current universe was poofed into existence by a quantum fluctuation, likely you could create your own quantum fluctuation with the right tools and run your simulation inside that.

I guess it's science fiction (how would you look inside it? How would you ensure you were re-running your own universe?). Plus there are a pile of moral objections you could make to trying something like that, but it's a fascinating idea that "the problem of evil" isn't created out of malice, but merely curiosity.

Vibe-emulator – Generate tweets that sound like someone else wrote them
I wrote a program that can be used to fine tune an OpenAI model that generates tweets from a prompt.

It's a fair assumption but unfortunately I think I would lack in specifically the areas that online courses don't tend to address, i.e everything that's involved in working on a large codebase as part of team that's not algorithms, testing and language stuff. I don't know anything about deployment and management for e.g.

I wonder how this overview of debt options compares to results generated by DAO/ICO/NFT approaches for both pre-seed and later stage. It seems to me that common interest community finance pooling options are now on the table for serious consideration and I would like to see more comparison to these established practices.

Entering into a single startup's narrowly focused business DAO with its own coin/token model appropriately tied to the same business earning metrics discussed in the article has the possibility of restructuring the whole compensation for value added chain. Consider a sweat-for-debt agreement where the developer completes a scope of work for repayment terms defined and backed by the DAO. Apply this at scale and you may have a new branch of venture capital/debt.

My comment was two parts. 1) that crime overall is decreasing. As far as I can tell this is true for every measurable metric. The only two I'm aware of that aren't are opioid use and sexual assault. Though the latter one isn't commonly believed to actually be increasing but just higher reporting. 2) that locality of crime is non-uniform. As a kid we knew which areas of town not to go to alone. Stay out of those parts of town and you'll be fine. In addition to this, most crime is not evenly distributed across the country and your suburban town isn't that dangerous. I'll strengthen my claim even more though, though this still isn't controversial. The richer your zipcode, the lower the crime rate. I think what people in this thread are more discussing is wealthy suburbanites picking their kids up in Teslas saying it is too dangerous to walk. No one is questioning the same sentiment for kids in Detroit or the bad parts of Chicago.
I agree.

I sometimes try to focus on futuristic UIs from 60s/70s shows and they are always so clean to understand and focus on text.

In a previous life I used Gecode and found it had pretty good performance and was fairly easy to use, see https://www.gecode.org/
I dont know any concrete techniques. My applied rule of thumb is that 15-25% of total effort is/should be spent on maintenance and operations. Commonly called “keep the lights on” (ktlo) where Im at. Trending higher than that is a warning sign and probably unsustainable.

Additionally immediate “post launch” support/additions/refinement can easily be an additional 50% of the original effort needed to make the “launch” goal.

In both cases try and sort out the work that is directly associated with delivering the feature vs incidental/adhoc/subsequent improvements. You can use that course estimate for general budgeting. Finding commonalities across features/components will get you closer to your matrix or checklist to apriori plan the true cost per feature.

PS it occurred to me that “operational readiness reviews” might help you discover or evaluate some of these unplanned costs.

This one stays pretty well updated. On the MIP side:

IIRC OR-Tools often by default uses SCIP for its MILP backend.

No. It was not. It was jumbled mess of ad-hoc solutions. Many of the concepts that were core stuff of angular are completely forgotten now. It discovered nothing of value. I worked in a project that used it for almost a year. And none of what I learned about AngularJS was useful since then. Except from general notion of "avoid angular" and "treat frameworks that cram stuff into html with suspicion".

I unfortunately agree with you.

> If you have a build farm / CI machines, don't use swap. With swap, if a user schedules too many compiles at once, machine will slow to a halt and become kinda-dead, not quite tripping dead timer, but not making any progress either. Instead, set up the OOM priority on the users processes so they are killed first. If OOM hits, clang is killed, build process fails, and we can go on.

This doesn't really work that well. It's true that if you enable swap and have significant memory pressure for any extended period your machine will grind to a halt, but this will _also_ happen if you don't use swap and rely on the Linux OOM killer.

Indeed, despite the lack of swap, as part of trying to avoid OOM killing applications, Linux will grind the hell out of your disk - because it will drop executable pages out of RAM to free up space, then read them back in again on demand. As memory pressure increases, the period of time between dropping the page and reading it back in again becomes very short, and all your applications run super slowly.

An easy solution to this is a userspace OOM-kill daemon like https://facebookmicrosites.github.io/oomd/ . This works on pressure stall information, so it knows when your system is genuinely struggling to free up memory.

On the historical fleets I've worked on pre-OOMD/PSI, a reasonable solution was to enable swap (along with appropriate cgroups), but target only allowing brief periods of swapin/out. This gives you two advantages:

* allows you to ride out brief periods of memory overconsumption

* allows genuinely rarely accessed memory to be swapped out, giving you more working space compared to having no swap
My definition is that being commercial products is completely irrelevant to the fact that the toolings did exist.
FAA isn't suing him though. FAA revoked the license. If he wants to get it back, I think the burden of proof lies with him to prove that it wasn't intentional, and made an attempt to the followings:

> Did he make an attempt to look for safe landing spot?

> Did he make an attempt to contact ATC?

> Did he make an attempt to restart the engine?

It almost doesn't matter what his intent was. He showed grossed negligence through his action.
It would be in your interest if youre serious to find the projects and consolidate them into a single github account.

That's great about the PHP FP, great blog material and or interview talking points. Mentioning FP, and other core CS skills on a resume, would help as well.

Speaking of, as a new "commercial" programmer core cs skill, ability to solve problems protactively and desire to learn regularly and with a keen interest will go a long way after landing the job
At the risk of moving the goalposts, that surely can't make up any significant portion of their revenues.
Or simply nobody thought that could be done things like that (for example, the classic "invisible" sector bridge), before a PWAD did. Plus the game was released targeting to work under a 80386, so the stock maps was limited to ran at an acceptable performance on these kind of CPUs.
Groovy can do this on the jvm.

But you get optional typing too for speed
Back in the 90s memory was small compared to disk, so it was fine.

There's no way you'd enable swap equal to memory size these days, for large memory machines.
Where is Rust powering avionics and high integrity systems in production for the last 40 years? The very definition of secure software.

No one is asserting how Ada is going to wipe language XYZ.
One tidbit that may be of interest (or not) is that if you see doubles being used in N64 C code it is almost certainly accidental. Doubles were slow on the N64 mips CPU but the mips C compiler would happily output them and promote surrounding floats to keep the precision it assumed you wanted.

float myValue = x_float + y_float * y_float * 3.0;

Looks ok, except the constant is a double. Performance killer.

You'd get pretty good at seeing the missing f (and we eventually wrote some simple tooling to find functions using doubles) but I'm sure a number of games shipped with accidental double calculations.

CPLEX, XPRESS and Gurobi are the gold standard for solving an MIP of a meaningful scale (relative performance will depend on the specific problem but you cannot go wrong with either of these three). Unfortunately there is a big gap between performance of open source v/s commercial solvers in OR space. Type of problems I need to solve are usually unsolvable on open source solvers (very large scale supply chain problems). For smaller problems, OR-Tools or GLPK or CBC do work fine - but once you go commercial, there is no need to switch back to an open source solver.

My typical setup is using Pyomo for model formulation (gives me flexibility to switch out solvers with ease). I bundle multiple licenses using GAMS, it is more cost effective than purchasing individual licenses from solver companies.
This is completely true for non -cloud, on-prem hosted code/programs, but this notion disappears when programs/software is hosted in the cloud, and updates can continuously occur

No, a responsible behaviour is for Youtobe to purposely leave him on the platform for everybody to see what he did and the comments below the video, but cut his revenue for this video due to ToS violations. I sure the lawyers who wrote the ToS thought about something like this.
Every aspect of life is related to population distribution graph which is doomed in Europe.

Even if you save your retirement in a real estate, it's value is tightly correlated to amount of people in productive age when you try to sell it.

The only thing that can save one, is to start saving money early and give it to componding effect. Albert Einstein once said “Compound interest is the eighth wonder of the world. He who understands it, earns it; he who doesn't, pays it”.

Anything else wont work because demographic at least for europe is bad.

The good information is that to make componding effect to work, crypto is much more compund effect friendly asset in the world. Of course, in the mean time you need to use your brain to not lose your priv key or being phished etc.

Good luck

The needs you describe are incredibly rare. Facebook for example doesn’t have heavy interactivity closer to a desktop app. You can also do interactivity just fine with Ajax. These frameworks bring nothing but complexity and confusion.
