The late game crisis is such a good idea to solve this problem.

At that point you're strong enough that you can beat all the other empires but then an extra-dimensional invasion happens that's just so much stronger than anything else you've encountered and it works really well to spice up the late game and make everything relevant again.

Everybody makes mistakes. You just need to take a quick glance over on r/datarecovery to see that it's not only Cloud providers.

Just because you keep your data in the cloud doesn't mean you shouldn't make backups. I make local backups as well as backups to another cloud, and data i really care about (mostly family photos) is archived on M-disc Blu-Ray media as well.
Easy is relative. I recently bought a used bicycle whose owner switched to electric. He said he initially looked into a conversion, but the quote he got was in the 1500-2000 range which was pretty much the same cost of the same model just electric. So it was a no-brainer to get a new one. Now, you can get solid conversion kits for under a 1000, and it's a bike so it's much simpler than a car, and therefore actually kind of easy, but what the bike shop wanted was to make money for their time and they of course take the responsibility that it actually works correctly and all of this costs money. And you can do it yourself if you can, but most people wouldn't bother for a bike, let alone a car.

There's a whole bunch of reasons why I think this is not very realistic. But of course people can try and succeed if they want and are able to, no harm there.
I was never sure about this. Sure, they're more expensive than competitors but for a lot of uses they worked out cheaper than the alternatives in almost every circumstance.

We were able to support _hundreds_ of applications, scale up at a moment's notice (applications were _very_ spiky traffic) and we didn't need a single member of infrastructure staff. We had engineers with _some_ backend-heavy knowledge, but nobody who could really get in to the guts of an infrastructure problem.

We charged Heroku out at cost to customers on top of our daily rate and it's barely a rounding error except for the largest of projects.

Don't get me wrong, the overall issue is that Heroku just isn't actively maintained anymore and that's going to put off new customers (as it should), but for those heavily invested in the platform right now, cost is not a factor that will be pushing them away.
Sony phones are named like their cameras.

First number is the model (1/5/10); smaller is more premium.

Roman numeral is the generation (i/ii/iii); bigger is newer.

It's about as straightforward as they come when it comes to phone naming. The competition names things <generation number> + Mini/Pro/Pro Max/SE or S/Z/A/M <generation number> e/Lite/+/Ultra/FE or <generation number> +a/a(5G)/Pro/XL.

Unfortunately my experience has been different; I found that Stripe's Go doc doesn't match their API and while searching on it I found that someone else had mentioned that to their personnel over freenode 2 years ago.

So I raised an issue on GitHub[1] on Apr 9 and hasn't been attended to yet.

On a more serious note, Stripe's payment links doc seemed to imply that tax rates are automatically calculated if the tax rates are set(as we do with code when we pass the tax_id), But I found after couple of payments that tax aren't being charged, On conversing on Twitter with the payment links dev I came to realize that the required option was not there for me[2] and then after couple of hours with their support staff I was informed that the options was not available for India as 'Stripe Tax' is a separate product.

Overall, I'm happy with Stripe's tech; at least compared to the other options I have. But their docs have caused me some frustrations.

While companies move off Heroku because of the pricing, there's still a huge addressable market there given that the Heroku ecosystem (including all its addons) is much more extensive than other similar services. The OP discusses this (that's what the "magic" is all about). Plenty of folks would be willing to pay the Heroku premium if new features were being actively developed, the addon ecosystem was continuing to expand (and addons were kept up-to-date), and the general reliability of the platform wasn't being questioned.

> but at Google's scale it doesn't really make sense, purely financially, the staffing required to support every free user.

This seems to get trotted out often whenever Google providing support gets mentioned. But I don't think anyone is asking Google to suddenly offer support for every customer question under the sun. Maybe they just need to provide a little support for some of the big problems: like algorithms banning people from all of the Google services that they have used for many years, for non-discernable reasons with zero comebacks. They spend plenty of money getting people on board their services (and extracting as much data as they can from them) but none on retaining customer loyalty after an algorithm gets it wrong.

It's due to the countrys backup power being based on natural gas, which costs about €2/m3 currently due to the Ukraine/Russia war. During february it hit €1.14/kwh.

Prices are dropping though, with about 85% of our power currently coming from renewable sources.

I live in Seattle, one of the hottest housing markets in the country. If I go to Airbnb and select "seattle" "entire place" "house" and "flexible" it comes up with 836 options. SF had roughly the same 700-800 (and a few from the larger bay area bled in).

That doesn't seem very significant in cities of roughly 750K/875K (within city limits of Seattle and SF respectively)
i'm pretty sure the method mentioned in the article finds single topic assignments where LDA finds mixtures of topics.

they use the same word, but appear very different things, at least to me.

I grew up in Detroit, fifth generation Detroiter. My entire life it went down. But in the last fourteen years it has mounted an incredible comeback. Lots of entrepreneurial activity downtown. I know Microsoft and Twitter have offices downtown. There's a Techstars downtown as well.

Yet there's corruption in the police department and city government. Lot less than a few years back but there's still city councilman taking bribes on towing contracts. One widow of a long serving Congressman was caught taking money in a paper bag in a Wendy's parking lot. She spent time in Camp Cupcake with Martha Stewart. Absolutely no shame whatsoever she is running for Wayne County executive.

Michigan legislature passed a law saying felons can't run for office for twenty years. But her lawyers think the law is weak and if she wins they will have to let her take office. She's raised a lot of money and has scared off any credible candidates.

I disagree. The purpose of a crypto exchange is to exchange crypto for national currency. This requires interaction with national banks because banks are the only entities that can hold national currency in digital form. E.g. to hold USD you need a correspondent bank in the US somewhere.

Bitfinex, which is incorporated in the Cayman Islands, is an example of your “ideal” bank. It has seen its US correspondent banks flee several times, leaving Bitfinex users unable to withdraw USD.

Coinbase is a US regulated exchange which US banks are much more willing to cooperate with since they perceive it as safer than working with some Cayman Island outfit.

I understand that argument but 100% disagree. Development is horrible, it's anything but standard, comes with a lot of baggage, the performance is atrocious. It doesn't even run anywhere, it runs in a browser. A huge, bloated, hungry browser.

You say Electron is not ideal, I say it's the worst thing that had happened to desktop computers ever. It's bad for the planet too. Some argue that without "js on desktop" we wouldn't have these amazing apps. I think it's not worth it to have those apps if they are built using those technologies. They make me miserable every single day. It's the only thing that forces me to upgrade my computer. It's so bad. Things that were possible 20 years ago are suddenly an unachievable goal. Stop it.
> Since it's a UWP app, there's no way to launch it as another user-identity (i.e. runas)

This is possible, the only issue is that the app needs to also be installed on the other user’s profile. Once installed for the user you can use runas.exe to start wt.exe as another user. I believe the UX from the right menu needs improvement but it is possible.
> I would hate to see my team work on evenings and weekends

I've worked at startups and Google. The glacial pace of the latter can mean working late feels necessary to get anything done. And even tiny changes can take forever so the feeling of having accomplished something of value is infrequent at best. Maybe it gets better at higher levels, though the internal memes don't give me much hope.

Some people are suited to big corps while others prefer start-ups. Nothing wrong with a little diversity.

My YT frontpage was getting progressively worse. What seems to help me was to "restart the Youtube" - deleting all "not interested" signals I accumulated over years. Also deleting all dislikes too.

Click History on left panel, on the new page that loads, click MANAGE ALL HISTORY on right panel. On the next page, delete dislikes and YouTube "Not interested" feedback.

After that my YT homepage got lot better.

Other than what sibling comments said, I have to add that flutter is much more approachable for new developers than web is. Most widgets are built-in, and development workflow is also simpler. This is what I heard from college students.
I think this firmwareblob vs. kernelblob vs. userspace blob needs to be decided on a case by case basis, and no strict line that shall not be crossed can be drawn anywhere. The important factor is, does their contribution help the community or not, will it allow the community to fix bugs and port stuff to a new innovative kernel, without it needing to re-implement everything from Linux?

Personally I would try to decide on blob size and scope. With nvidias driver I suspect that require massive firmware and userspace blobs, and the kernel driver is probably just a pass-through API. I would argue that this doesn't really move the community forward.

However if the blobs are small and simple, and have specific scope and a reason, like legislation or security, maybe even calibration data blobs, are useful independent of the OS itself, then I would give them a pass, since it allows the community to build upon.

Because it's not itself a thing of value. Non tech stocks which are essentially buying a portion of a
business that is profitable, well run, and has physical assets that have value. Same thing for commodities, etc. Tech stocks and crypto are both in the dsme bucket of investing in ownership of a portion of something that may someday be valuable or profitable, but is not currently.

> Equality of opportunity and equality of effort just can't coexist unless we create some kind of dystopia where kids are taken away at birth and raised in actual similar conditions.

Perfect equality of opportunity is certainly impossible, but we can do much better than the US system. For instance, if all schools were funded equally and given good facilities and skilled teachers and all kids regardless of wealth went to these well-run public schools, opportunity would be quite fair. See e.g. Finland.

The US has the worst possible system in this regard. Poor kids live in poor neighborhoods, where schools have no funding and (often) worst teachers (and even the great ones are so overworked that they can't provide the attention they want). Classes are overcrowded and administrators abuse the children with all kinds of zero-tolerance horrors. Meanwhile the rich kids go to top private schools where the kids are given every opportunity to learn and also make connections with their future CxO peers.
> That's debatable.

No, its not.

> votes influence the laws that natives are obligated to follow

Natives? You might want to think again before using that word. Trust me, none of the new immigrants have any violent intentions or intent to steal from earlier immigrants or native Americans.

> Not even getting to the statistically proven increase in sexual assaults that native women have to suffer on behalf of immigrants in certain European countries.

I thought we were discussing US immigration. Columbus was an accomplished rapist too. Or do rapes by white men not count?

> Case in point is the ubiquitous middle eastern treatment of women; how much influence do you want such beliefs to have over your laws and cultural norms?

The post is by an Indian Hindu. Keep in mind that not all brown people are the same. Especially considering the kind of racist violence some white men inflicted on the Jews in Germany in the 1930s and 1940s. Perhaps, it is unsafe to let white people dominate a culture. The risk of holocaust and genocide is ever present. It's great if some non white culture is introduced in the society to keep the keep the genocidal tendencies of "white" culture in check.

> shallow accusations of bigotry as an alternative to engagement

You can do your part by not making the bigotry so easy to spot. A highly productive brown immigrant describing his 2 decade long naturalization process really really ticked you off, innit?

I came here to say this too. Build your app as a website, then just use a simple browser window of an app that loads your site. Then you only develop in one place, and have nothing to compile or build. Hardly ever have to update your "app" builds even. This won't replace every app of course depending on what you're trying to do and if it requires specific hardware features, but I'd say about 99% of apps don't need to be native.
Nota is really two things:

1. An alternative syntax (vs. JSX) for writing React programs.

2. A set of React components for structuring a web document

As a syntax, Nota is meant to make writing prose-heavy React easier. As a set of components, Nota is meant to help readers use the document's structure for understanding the document's content, e.g. by showing the definition of a term when you click on it. It's not a replacement for HTML or Javascript, but an alternative syntax for them with a rich standard library.

You are right about much of what is out there sadly.

I recently engaged in a spirited discussion about this issue ( https://wptavern.com/wordpress-product-launches-roundup-appe... )

The median income in San Francisco is ~70K per year, so even just looking at SF this is more than double the median. The median household income is ~120k per year in SF. No idea what the author's family situation is but assuming their spouse works then the household income is probably 3-4x the median income of SF households. Everybody's financial situation is different and you certainly have to take that into account, but my only point is that if you are looking at a job change that involves a pay cut but to a level where you can still be financially secure then it makes total sense to evaluate it based on other factors like job satisfaction.
