Yeah there's tons of options. There's the big clouds/cloud-native stuff. There's the cloud-VMs/VPSes. There's colos. There's making a DC at an office through DIA. Understanding these options is key to making a good, informed decision IMO.
There are lots of decent ebike options < $2000 and they generally require very little maintenance.

$1000 for inner tubes, break pads, and chain grease is not a reasonable estimate.

I'm not an expert but my understanding is that everyone should be pushing for this or for options to be way cheaper to purchase when you leave.

Without one of those two options the safest thing to do to not waste vesting time is join a public company or a late stage startup. Late stage startup you're more likely to be acquired or IPO while you're there and you don't purchase options out of pocket.

Early stage startups are where you're least likely to stay the 7-12 years required for the exit event to take place and thus most likely to leave vested options on the table when you leave the company because you don't have cash and/or don't want to risk that cash.

NAT is $1/day *PER* AZ *PER* VPC.

Managed NAT Gateways can be a very substantial cost depending on your architecture. I believe the recommended VPC layout has 3 AZs so you're paying close to $100/month for a single VPC just for NAT.
Why crawl when a sitemap is provided. Honest question.

IME, using a sitemap is much more efficient. For example, HTTP/1.1 pipelining can be used to reduce the number of TCP connections needed.

Is resource exhaustion what draws a public website^1 operator's attention to "bots". If it is not resource exhaustion then what is it.

1. For this question, assume "public website" means a website serving public information where there are no legitimate intellectual property rights in the information that can be asserted by the site operator.

As I noted, you'd probably want to do this conversion before import anyway, so none of the results may be of practical interest if you decide to go down that road. But maybe query performance tests on already imported data would be of interest.
How can you say that with ECS on the list? You have no idea how much compute is being used.
Well, Genesis does not claim the earth is young.

It says the earth existed for an unknown period of time, before God began to prepare it for habitation. The period of this preparation is also not given (it could be arbitrarily long). Genesis also gives an order of appearance of life (plants -> animals -> man) that roughly agrees with the fossil record.

There is nothing in Genesis that is at variance with known science, and nothing in it that actually supports a young earth.

Isomorphic (the same js libraries on the server & client) software is also nice. With WASM, it is possible with other programming languages, though js/ts has a large head start in the isomorphic web space.
I mean, are you really going to argue that the sole fact that the kids' genitals weren't entirely visible makes it not child pornography? Despite the fact that it was children being 'clothed', posed, and filmed purposefully in a way meant to sexually arouse pedophiles? Thank god the law didn't specify that genitals must be shown for it to qualify as pornography.

Do you think the adults filming and directing this stopped there? Those kids were eventually raped and that's probably on film too. The slippery slope isn't a fallacy when the stats back it up.

On top of that- letter of the law and spirit of the law... letter of the law doesn't mention the necessity of visible genitalia ... spirit of the law, I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that if you ask every legislator that voted for the law and the president that signed the law if it was intended that something like this qualified as child pornography within the definition of the law, they'd agree wholeheartedly. And that intent matters quite a bit.

The controversy exists because people with 0 context took the "oh that sounds gross but not illegal" stance and made dumb public statements about it that they then had to go back on.
I started programming around 1972 or so, so we are likely of similar vintage. I think we tend to find what we seek. I have found much to learn from Smalltalk and Lisp in the fifty years since I first wrote FORTRAN programs on punch cards at UofT's High-Speed Job Stream, and while yes, there are various people whose enthusiasm and narrow focus rivals any religious cult...

Here's the thing. Some people will hate a thing so much they'll accuse you of professional misconduct for using it. Seriously, you can find people who say, in writing, that programming without static type-checking is professional misconduct.

Should that stop us from using JavaScript, Clojure, Ruby, Python, &c.?

No. Although hey, at least read their arguments with an open mind and decide for yourself.

On the other side, there will be people who love a thing so much that they can't imagine using anything else. We may not love it as much as they do, but should that stop us from using that thing if we like?

Also no.

Bottom line: Why judge a thing by what the most extreme opinions about the thing are, or how extreme those opinions are? Judge by its utility for you.

Yes, absolutely, the end of your first paragraph is really what I mean; you end up having to basically rebuild cargo anyway. If you have a self contained code base, it’s not like rustc is inherently bad to call directly, for sure.

I bet this is exactly why you find it helpful; rapid scaling is great for when you actually need to scale. I think the post is about the people who don't need to rapidly scale (most customers probably? certainly more common than a F200 company)

Heh, technically t2 instances are burstable CPU so you can't control when you'll be pushed off CPU time. With a RasPi you have full control of the compute. Of course, the t2 has faster transit to pretty much any IX, is in a DC with a UPS, has an SLA for staying up, etc. so from a networking perspective it's leaps and bounds better. Depends on if you need the compute or not.
Yeah, I mean I guess back the there was the actually gonna-change-the-world part of the internet, and then there was the hyperinflated hype train that made millionaires out of twenty-plus people who had nothing but a catchy domain name and some rudimentary marketing skills, no business model, never mind anything resembling a real product. Then they'd spend the money on cocaine and Lamborghinis. This time, there doesn't even seem to be the former part.

Student loan forgiveness and universal education are distinct issues. I oppose the former (even though I would benefit from it to the tune of $30K) but not the latter.

I oppose student loan forgiveness because it punishes people who were responsible and rewards people who were irresponsible. Moreover, it disproportionately rewards the upper classes who are more likely to have more debt--it's regressive. If we decide we want to help people who are burdened, let's mail checks based on need (whether their need is a result of student loan debt or not) and those of us who are doing fine can pay those checks with our taxes. Student loan forgiveness is just welfare for the upper classes (me included!).

If you just want to use a single low latency audio application, then just use alsa.
Facebook doesn't use the cloud? Are you crazy? They built their own cloud. They just don't sell it as a service.

Does it say if the researchers knew his family members' names in advance? Wouldn't the "a ha!" moment be when the patient shares something that the researchers couldn't possibly find out on their own and that wouldn't be interpreted via his family's help? None of that appeared to happen here.

Having said that, I've just skimmed the Nature article. But what stands out is that they had 86 days of unsuccessful communication before they changed strategies and then all of a sudden started reporting success. I really hope this works but we should remain skeptical for the possibility of abuse here. Other commenters in this thread have reported that the researchers have committed misconduct in their brain research.

The only thing I fear more than being in the discussed patient's situation is being in their situation and having my thoughts incorrectly interpreted at best or outright manipulated at worst.

Well, where did the universe come from? Where did time come from? When did it begin? There are certain things the answers to which goes beyond the bounds of the naive logic we are familiar with.

The Bible says that God has no beginning (or end), he exists outside the bounds of time. Though it is hard to wrap our heads around that concept, there is no reason to think it is not possible, considering the rhetorical questions above.
Another downside and word of caution: I left my $1200 Rad City bike in the garage over the winter and it got unplugged somehow. By spring it was no longer able to charge, and replacing just the battery cost another $600.
Oh this thread is for ideas and wild speculation. I wanna hear what people smarter than me think on this. Pile in!
Not that irrelevant.

Traditional SSR involved a separation between templates which contain presentation logic, and controllers for mediating business logic, persistence etc.

If your backend & frontend are in same language, or you use template engines with implementations in mutliple language like handlebars/pug/soy etc. you could easily render the same templates using JS and your client side can have as much ui state, interactivity etc. as you want.

If we adopt incremental enhancement then the fetching of templates can be delayed - we primarily need the controllers which handle dom events to make the server-rendered ui interactive. This is easily achievable through libraries like stimulus where controllers can add complex interactivity to server rendered templates and re-render them if needed through templates which are fetched on demand. We can even preserve form element states by using libraries like morphdom for swapping content.

However, what really breaks down all of the above is the concept of components as popularized by React etc. When we start writing react-style components then our rendering logic and associated behavior are tightly coupled and we need to pull in all the rendering logic for enhancing the server rendered content. React devs like to preach that traditional separation of concerns is not useful in practice and it is better to have rendering code colocated with behavior - but solutions like this just demonstrate that this separation did actually have some merit albeit at the cost of some indirection.

What solutions like Qwik are attempting to do is enabling folks to keep writing component oriented code but now we need a fancy compiler tooling that deeply integrates with the stack. The approach does have its merits but it is just one path to address the problem.
You could avoid shipping down the JSX templates but only by promising to never render a comment on the client. That's basically the approach taken by this React Server Components proposal: https://github.com/josephsavona/rfcs/blob/server-components/...

Rails has experimented with this sort of thing in the past; it requires some deep integration with the HTTP server so that clients can request updates to specific chunks of the UI rather than just URLs.
It's a massive issue. It's not only spam, it also enables malware distribution and e-mail bombs (flood of mail to cause DoS or to hide some other letters).

It is mostly because proper defenses against such abuse aren't built into software allowing such forms (or cost money). Wordpress form plugins are one such widespread bad example.
While we are on the topic of browser event handlers and "embracing how browser actually work", I can't help but mention that the builder.io website's top navbar cannot handle ctrl + clicking (for opening links in a new tab).

It's actually quite subtle. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, depending on which page you are on, what you've already clicked, etc. All part of the fun of frontend web development, ain't it?
Both can be true. God created the universe 4000 years ago, but did so by creating in his mind a big bang and fast-forwarding time to 2000BC. Then instantiating physically what he was thinking of.
There's a coffee chain here in Brooklyn [1] that has been spreading very quickly who has targeted opening in small spaces, or as short term pop-ups inside other spaces, without much (or any) seating. This probably limits those behaviors you're talking about. They've raised close to $70 million for some reason [2][3].

There's a couple a few blocks from me but I've never tried them, as I just make coffee with an aeropress at home. When I was younger I'd hang out at coffee shops and pretend to be getting work done, but not so much as an adult.

> No landlord to deal with and being certain you don’t have to move for as long as you want are benefits to owning that are worth a premium over renting.

The premiums you listed have always existed, there's no reason for them to grow now.

What's grown now is that, because home prices are rising, people look at the rising prices and want to take advantage of it. And the primary residence in Canada has infinite tax-free gains - so as long as prices rise, it seems like it makes total sense to pour as much as possible into housing. This is a bubble. Canadians think of housing as the best possible investment because housing prices are going up and its a tax-advantaged vehicle. Once prices start falling, we'll see this leveraged investment unravel quickly

Good point, the My List functionality is really annoying without the auto-removal. It's very cumbersome to remove items from the list on mobile so I end up with a list of mostly watched items with a sprinkling of things I may want to actually watch now. Not very useful.
I'm shocked, but encouraged to hear, there are essentially no generational effects you note of the oppression Kurdish people experienced.

This sentiment may not be repeatable concerning effects of Turkish government on Kurdish peoples outside the border of Turkey, particularly in Bashur Kurdistan and Rojava (especially Afrin Canton where hundreds of Kurdish civilians were killed in connection with events proximal to what Turkish government refers to as 'Operation Olive Branch'). I can't imagine there are warm fuzzies inside knowing your tax money goes to murdering fellow Kurds near your borders.
Wow that’s super cool, didn’t know about this
> Goalposts: shifted.

Not at all. It was you and OP who asked for some kind of "killer app" from web3 as a way to justify its existence. My response is to say that this is an absurd ask.

Not only is absurd, it already exists, you just prefer to ignore it. I may agree that Bitcoin as a currency is a failed experiment, there is no denying that the possibility of sending value across borders is the killer app already.

"Oh, but BTC is volatile!". Yes, but I could in 2011 send money from the US to Brazil instantly without going through any international bank (buy in US exchange with USD, sell it in Brazilian exchanges in BRL, wire from the exchange to my brazilian bank) with minimal exposure to BTC volatility and at a lower cost than the fees charged by the banks.

But I am sure you want to ignore that, or find a reason to say that "it doesn't count". I can not fight your own prejudices.

It's a -really- tough spot to be in. Far right people left in droves when Cuties came out. Far left people left in droves when Chapelle was allowed to remain. It seems like people quit treating content providers as neutral tubes, and more like a club that they control which is bizarre. I mean, nobody cancels cable because CMT or BET or PBS or TNT exists as a channel. What's the difference?

(note: these are claims I've read, I don't have the numbers to know if anyone at all actually left).

How the hell do you win anymore without offending someone? Completely neutral content that could not possibly offend anyone is, well, boring.
This really resonates with me. I made a similar move to Germany 4 years ago from a different 3rd world country.
