I have used it in greater scale at the previous client. Working with multiple providers was much easier than with the Terraform setup the current client runs. The integrated secret handling feature is also something I miss, because it allowed for a very clean setup of GitHub configuration using Pulumi.
I also prefer Pulumi‘s custom component abstraction to terraform modules, you don’t have to declare inputs and outputs manually, and don’t require complete teardown and recreation for every change.
Also, you don’t even have to write custom components, you can simply write a function that create the resources you need, in that case you may have to handle unknown values a bit more manually, which wasn’t so bad, as it’s essentially Promise-based code.

Personally, I see the landscape like this:
If you like CloudFormation templates, then Terraform is a better version of that. Especially as it’s workflows are very similar.
If you like, or want, CDK then Pulumi will make you very happy, as it’s a much better version of that. Pulumi in particular makes some alternate patterns possible, e.g. using the integrated secret management, that give you more flexibility with how you approach your project.

As a side note, Pulumi is actively working with the community, accepting PRs, etc. and new provider APIs generally are available when they release. This may influence your decision, or not.

Could you elaborate on how you use IPFS? How fast is it? Do you use use a pinning service?
Buying a home mortgage is signing yourself over to a lifetime of servitude and uncertainty if you lose your income stream. Buy a property out of pocket to live in and make the most of a DIY life at a fraction of the cost and an odd stress differential, or just keep renting and be agile enough to roll with the punches.
It depends. If you use software with many years of stability, it's safe (Bitcoin has a 9 year uptime). There are some very reputable companies, like Casa or Unchained Capita that help you store your money safely using multisig contracts and hardware wallets very safely without trust in them.

With newer, faster changing software of course the risk is much higher, so I'm not comfortable using them, but many people take that risk.

SketchyVim: Add native Vim to all macOS text fields
With this nifty utility https://github.com/FelixKratz/SketchyVim you can use the power of vim in Safari, in Finder search boxes and a multitude of other places in macOS. It works by using a real vim buffer in the backend and synchronizing it with the system text fields via the accessibility API. It is super light weight and all vim text features are supported. If you enjoy vim as much as I do this utility might be worth a try.
Our benchmarking was only for a to a warmed lambda, I don't believe any language can do a 50ms cold start on lambda. The fastest example in your link is python with around 150ms cold start as the fastest, and that's an outlier from the average.
I think you have missed a source of demand, and I think it's important.

As housing became more and more expensive to young professionals, some people in this group have worked harder and harder to buy property, even to the point where it no longer seems rational. For example, parents taking a lot of wealth out of their retirement savings or their own homes to assist children in buying. Professionals are working more than otherwise makes sense for their stage in life (young families with two full-time parents). They are committing a large share of their monthly budget, often right until the start of retirement.

They do this because they believe in the importance of owning property - beyond any reasonable narrow economic justification.

Of course, there is an inequality aspect to this - not everyone's parents have capital, not everyone can command a high enough wage.

But crucially, the presence of this group of people arguably turns the bubble into something else. These buyers put a floor on the market. If prices drop even a little, or something else changes to make mortgages slightly more affordable, they rush in and buy the dip. By doing this, they sustain the high prices for everyone else in the market.

This will probably happen now. Higher rates will make current prices unsustainable. As soon as they correct to the point where monthly payments are back to what they were last year, there will be buyers, only too happy to overextend themselves to get out of renting.

It's inaccurate to characterize these people as likely to default. They are actually very good mortgage risks - they have already shown themselves to be very committed to ownership. And the resources which got them into a position to buy mean they will keep on paying short of a disaster. The truly unrealistic borrowers of pre-2008 have never been let back into the market.
Right, it’s all safe and fine as long as we don’t release the water into your own backyard and swimming pool.
AmorphousDB: Rethinking the Relational Database
Thank you so much :) I hope we can make difference about it.
On an AVR if you write this in C

PORTB |= (1<<4);

You get this in assembly

sbi PORTB, PINB4

However if you write

PORTB = PORTB | (1<<4)l

The compiler instead emits.

sbi PORTB, PINB4

I ported some code once where they went to the trouble of defining the registers as bit fields. In that case

portb.pin4 = 1;

compiled to

sbi PORTB, PINB4

I'm specifically taking issue with the linked article's description of their specific experience in the last month as "not a shitshow", when it is pretty clear to me that in the specific timeframe of last month almost everything they went through, however well executed it might be, is pointless and ultimately a waste.

And yet, eventually, we will see the bug breaking through, now probably a whole different beast than we saw before, into a completely unprotected population (with - in the PRC - a vaccination we don't consider particularly good). In fact, it already is happening, see how Beijing and Shanghai have outbreaks.

I sincerely hope I am wrong here, but it may well be that the zero covid countries will have saved the few and sacrificed the many, three years on, and provided a new reservoir for new, more deadly variants to evolve in.

Not sure why brokers didn't mention them to you. Perhaps they like to show people low headline rates, or perhaps they see longer initial terms as bad for the broking business?
I think there are really bad ideas out there. Putting sulfur aerosols into the atmosphere could remove rain from large swaths of the planet or concentrate it in other regions. There is currently no way to do it, but removing CO2 again seems vastly less invasive.

Currently people work on regulating such endeavors as it would seriously be possible that some coked up Musk would spread such aerosols into the atmosphere.
Getting a mortgage is the easiest way to build wealth through government subsidized leverage (mortgage interest deduction).
Another one (relative newcomer but some great stuff, some a bit samey at the moment, but think he'll go far) - Phil's Lab.
As I pointed in a comment I've written, books income are actually automatically earned, since the author doesn't need to promote his books (Amazon's upvote system, e.g.). (however: it's an hypothesis for the moment because he didn't communicate about that).

Labor to write his book is low labor, since he writes books <=100 pages, he enjoys that, and it is far less stressing than working for someone (employer/customer). In fact it makes him feeling happy and, perhaps, relaxed. However, the author would be welcome to clearly indicate weither or not this required labor is actually "low one" or not, because he didn't communicate about that.

Maintaining his books: the author doesn't communicate about that but maintenance operations on books seem low labor too, far less than code maintenance.

Those books incomes, I see them as passive(writting a book once, over a period of several months probably, then eventually getting money each month is as worth as investments, except that investments are done in few seconds with some money needed to be brought - for books written: no money is needed to be brought, but it takes months contrary to few seconds to be done). Moreover, they can be extended by bank investments or Bitcoin investments, extending their "passive"-side.

> PS: Sadly writing can pay off as much as giving you nothing (money wise).

Exact. But the author writes no books > 100 pages and he has even written a sentence about this.

PS: if we define "labor" by "spent money", then writting and publishing a book (and ebook) is also low labor since very few $$$ are required to be bring by the author, like computer science projects.

> Note that: bank investment need lots of money to be done. Writting books, no. Bank investment need a few seconds to be done. Writting books, several months. I think they are equivalent and, thus, are both ways to earn passive incomes.

("equivalence" from a money point of view and almost from a labor point of view, if we consider that bank investments's initial brought money is only due to labor, not inheritance, etc.)
I feel I'm missing a reference for the configuration file, on their GitHub page. So maybe this already exists, but it would maybe be useful if there were some features for your concern. Like an opt-out mode where you have to specify transformations for all columns unless indicated otherwise. Or at least for text columns.

There are also plenty of organizations (not mine) with review boards for database changes. Those folks could also have a process to make sure that new, sensitive columns get added to the configuration file.
This list of DMCA take-down at [1] is really extremely long and there are several universities that ask for instance to remove the solution of students' assignments [2]. I am wondering if a university can really claim copyright to a solution made by students and if a breach of "Georgia Tech Honor Code" (for example) is really a copyright issue. From [2] it does not seem that the assignment itself is copied to the repository. Should it be GitHub's responsibility that the students comply with their honor code?

This. I always make sure both sides share in the full rights to the work. Regardless of whether I am the one doing the programming or the one paying for it.

Public sector usually makes up the rules for itself and then upholds them in the software. Very little public sector software could be resold in the private sector without significant investment into making it more general, usually to the detriment of the product. The "multiple clients => lower price" thus holds no water, because it's always just different branches of government and the usual way it ends up is that after 10 years or so the product is still used in one place only and the original programmers long left the company. And public still pays for a yearly license.

Lightning Network is a Layer 2. State channels also exist on top of Ethereum, such as Raiden Network and others[1].

They are dumping 1 Million metric tons of water over a period of 30 years.

Even if China allow them to dump the water into the Gobi desert, it'd still cost billions of dollar to build and operate the pipeline. It'd never happen.
Your experience on mastodon is very dependent on which instance you're on.

There are 3 feeds - (1) home, your personal follows, (2) local, the people on your local instance and (3) federated, the people followed by anyone on your instance (+ stuff they boosted).

If you join a server somewhat aligned with your interests, you'll have a much better time.
I glanced at the code earlier and my first thought was fact it could be adapted to provide Xlib for SerenityOS.

I have nothing to do with Serenity and have never even used C++ but your code was easy to read and so the possibility just jumped out at me.
I thought electricity is much less efficient way for heating than gas - both per dollar as well as pollution outcome. Somebody has to generate all that electricity from somewhere and it’s definitely neither nuclear or solar (it’s usually coal) in near future.

Then it maybe depends on what you meant by "the 2nd law of thermodynamics".
Especially when the OP ends their post with something like

> Soil revitalization is all we need to do!

it gives off very strong pseudoscience vibes. The world has hundreds of serious problems (nuclear proliferation, world hunger and social inequality to name a few) that have nothing to do with soil depletion. Trying to make one problem of the hundreds seem like the most serious thing ever and then offering an easy silver bullet-type solution like "X is all we need to do" just makes OP look super myopic and focused solely on their own favorite issue.
1. Yes, but in practice people have a good shared understanding of what spam means. Email filters have few problems with defining this. To answer your questions:

1a. No, automated posting is not spamming any more than a mailing list is the same thing as spam.

1b. No, a fan "really eagerly replying" is not spam.

1c. Someone "trying really hard" to sell diet pills can be, you've been too vague to answer there.

Generally, sites impose usage limits on accounts to something reasonable that few people will ever hit organically. Whether you post within those limits using tools or manually doesn't matter. Then the rules say you're not allowed more than a small number of accounts. Anti-spam then mostly boils down to stopping people working around the usage limits.

Musk very obviously doesn't think they're all the same and it's a strawman to claim it is. I used to work in anti-spam and the stuff you're raising is easy. Spam fighting is hard, but not getting distracted by ideological noise that's trying to argue political censorship = spam fighting is really, really easy.

I'm renting a Fiat at the moment and it has this same bug. It's so infuriating that I stopped playing music in it entirely.
Very much so. I have the daycare in my ring-through settings, they rarely call but if they do it's because there is something wrong. Most people understand that you want to take that call, but some don't. And those are the kinds of people I try to avoid doing business with, because it's a really good sign that they're going to be unpleasant in more situations.
Yes, this is definitely how I look at it. I have deleted my HackerRank account.

How do you learn electronics when you don’t have access to a lab?

I live in HK, where real estate is at a premium. I’m a family of 4 people, living in a 700 sq-ft home with no garage. (And I’m reckoned to be on the fortunate side of things.)

There is no way I can set up a home lab here.

I know there are circuit simulators, but simulators are not the real thing. I think that simulators (the free ones that I know of anyway) typically don’t simulate random defects and physical variances that you would have to debug and deal with on the real thing.

There are also tangential, and nonetheless practical things that you cannot learn from a simulator: e.g. how to arrange your lab so you can work efficiently and with as few accidents as possible; how to make a good solder.

It doesn't make a lot of sense to try to correlate things with your mood that you think are correlated. Because giving a mood grade is biased. For example if you feel like you don't sleep enough, the day you will sleep a lot you will want to give a higher grade.

> Thing is, I've learned that the overt corruption in these "developing" countries is just less sophisticated version of what's going on in the rest of the world.

There is plenty of real corruption going on in the rich world. But there's also plenty of examples of good governance and good health advice making it into government policy. Its far too cynical to label all governmental responses to covid as corruption. Maybe thats true in Latin America, but Latin America and Taiwan are very different places.

If all countries had corrupt and ineffective covid policies, all countries would have ended up with similar covid mortality figures. But the data[1] shows a vast gap between the best and worst countries re: covid deaths. Plenty of countries made a good showing - and that speaks well for their ability to turn medical advice into action.

Taiwan has had 36 deaths per million people, compared to 3048 in the USA. You say their quarantine system is "insanity". If it were up to me, I'd pick Taiwan's "insane" covid policies every time.

My best advice would be to try an actual transactional email service. A while back I was experimenting with this... Absolutely couldn't get past spam despite all the right settings. Then I tried sendgrid. Worked like a charm without any domain configuration. In fact, it would let you use a completely made up domain and it'd still work (because you're really using sendgrid's domain for reputation, yet most UIs will still show the other domain or both)
"many responded well to antipsychotics" citation needed because if there is something most humans don't do is respond well to antipsychotics. Especially because antipsychotics only work on a really really small subset of mental illnesses. What an uninformed comment.
Yup, I'm wrong and you are right : it's only a proposal and it's by 2035. My bad.

Note that Germany agreed on the plan recently : https://cleantechnica.com/2022/03/18/germany-gets-on-board-w... so, it's probably just a matter of time now given the influence of Germany over UE and their special situation in the automobile industry.
Out of curiosity, why do you write 'Thritium' for 'Tritium'?

> Stop running cars in areas that are easily accessible to pedestrians. There are already plenty of streets pedestrians have to use an overpass or underpass for. It's even safer and doesn't ruin the auditory environment.

I agree with separating cars and pedestrians better, but the solution can't be to make life harder for the pedestrians. Cities I've visited where you have to use an overpass to cross every road are awful to walk around.
This is yet more tautologies. Science doesn't dictate what's happening but it is meant to predict what's happening. That's the whole point of science. In this case the fake pseudo-scientists that claim to understand disease spread predict that lockdown will reduce disease spread but it doesn't. They can't explain why lockdowns don't work, which makes it not science.

As for your belief that 9/10 worked - please. Please! This is a tiger-protecting rock fallacy. Yes if you wear a rock around your neck, more than 99% of the time you will not be eaten by a tiger. The arguments that lockdowns work are all forms of this type of nonsense when examined. Correlation doesn't imply causation, you need to have very compelling evidence to show causality and "sorta overlaps sometimes, maybe" is not evidence of anything because people epidemics have natural cycles and governments tend to trigger lockdowns as they come up to their peaks. That doesn't mean the peaks are caused by lockdowns and it's the exceptions where they have no effect that prove this.
