Not only that. It's single-DC, and Hetzner is somewhat known for having serious DC-wide network failures from time to time.

The hardware used is consumer hardware too.

This is literally the opposite of what I would expect for a SaaS with uptime requirement... I feel like OP/the developers behind this might have made a really terrible choice and could be paying more in manpower than the savings they have by using a budget server discounter

Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against Hetzner, but this seems like an unfit usecase. This is literally what you use cloud platforms for..

This feels like preemptive scapegoating. Sure, this is possible, but only if the marketcap continues to grow at a rapid rate. Currently, it's a drop in the bucket compared to the marketcap of securities and has yet to reach gold's marketcap of ~$10T.

Its been useful for me for 14 years so idk about that.
There it is, promises of future things and "potential value", and the abstract concept of "driving innovation".

Yes, it will be around. But beyond the idea it represents, and the technological invention that is blockchain, there is no value. This is marketing and ideas you invest in.
Yes! It is such a cool community effort.

>It is literally just attempt to "since America has/did crimes, no one is allowed to criticize China/Israel/Russia".

Not at all. Please read my comment in its context: it's a response to parent's claim that this can only happen in China, because in the West the public has the right to speak out and fix it - while in reality it happens too, and simply gets ignored, sometimes without even bothering to cover it up.

Also - ever seen the racial stats for US prisons, or for police shooting victims? Doesn't it look like a genocide to you? If it doesn't - perhaps it's because you've been told your entire life that it's actually normal, same way Chinese are taught their government crimes are ok. And even if it does - do you believe you can realistically do anything about it?

On the other hand in US it's at least properly documented. China does have a terrible problem with transparency, and I'm afraid it might be a cultural thing, because it's not just China.

Take a look at the video in question[1]- I search for some answer, I watch it and I DID NOT enjoy that. If not for the dislike button, I have no way to signal that to youtube. Algorithm just sees that I watched the video - great. Since I haven't found answer to my question I may watch even more videos on the topic (alg - great video, got him hooked on that topic).

Most recommendation system mismatches are much more subtle.

If most people enjoy a film, then it's a good film. If you think 99% have horrible taste, you just have different taste than most people.

It would help Unix’s case if the glue between the parts wouldn’t be byte streams and some very crude int result code, signals, etc.

A monolith can be just as composable if not more, with a much “stronger glue” in the form of language-mandated guarantees. Also, sometimes doing multiple things well is the better direction — IPC is additional complexity and essential complexity can’t be decomposed.

Was thinking 15h of lectures, ~20h optional TA tutorials over 5 day period. Undergrad level stuff, as it's not for academics, but interested amateurs and we go home after a week with something to work on, maybe come back for another session once a year.

I'd ask, would you pay $5k to hang out in a yurt on Anegada for a week and learn an undergrad intro to category theory?

This is a fair observation, but every time this comes up, I have to wonder, what advantage does Bitcoin offer over gold?

- Gold has no dependency on electricity, computers, or any energy source. Bitcoin ceases to exist without these things.

- Gold has a lot of practical uses and applications as a material. Bitcoin has none.

- Gold is a naturally occurring element. Bitcoin is not.

The only advantage I've ever been able to see is that Bitcoin ownership can be transferred electronically compared to gold that must be moved. However, being able to be moved electronically also means that it can be stolen electronically. A bad actor in North Korea has the potential to steal a person's wallet credentials and transfer Bitcoin out of their possession. They can't do this with physical gold.

Gold is not a perfect store of value - it doesn't serve a fundamental need like food or a blanket - but it has served it's purpose over the millennia and I don't see how Bitcoin is improving on it.
A lifetime ago, I spent lots of long hours on reversing Symbian apps, writing tools and tutorials for it. Any old souls here from the reverse engineering community of that era will recognize my username. :)

Yeah, I can't stand that about the US. The best supermarket experience of my life was in Croatia, in Zagreb. I asked a woman working there whether they had ice, and she just said "No." (punctuation hers), spun around, and marched off to the next thing. No "Let me see if I can find them in the warehouse, or else freeze them myself while you awkwardly wait", no "Can I help you find something else? What about some water and a freezer?", just "Nope, no ice, question answered, I'm out". I could have bought a house there, right there and then.
After looking at the product listing, it's pretty clear who it's for. Non-techfolk that want to try out a mechanical keyboard. Or heck the older techies who haven't kept up with stuff, but miss the tactile feel of KBs of the 70s/80s.

Other mechanical keyboards have different switch-types listed, but even as a user of a mech keyboard for a decade now I couldn't tell you which is which without looking it up. Logitech simplified it with "Tactile Quiet", "Linear", and "Clicky". You immediately know which style is for you without having to consult some switch tactile/loudness chart or ask the mechanical keyboard cult for their take. They've lowered the bar of entry into the mechanical keyboard market. Do other companies do the same or go the extra mile to simplify the process? Probably, but it carries a lot more weight when the biggest name in computer peripherals does it.

As for me, I might give it a go eventually. If they take a cue from the MX mouse series with how damn customizable it is binding buttons to actions, then I'll definitely be grabbing it.
This is something that I've been thinking of as well. GPT-3 can be a bit unruly in its output but if you execute ten prompts you'll get something parsable 6 times.
It's nice that a flow exists for your use case, but when I see things like this I'm always puzzled by the use case in the first place. The only reason I use a calendar on my phone is to sync my schedule with the wife/family. We put things on a shared calendar. I use it to capture appointments and check if we have commitments on a given date. Otherwise I would never use a calendar on my phone. So syncing between accounts over the Internet is a hard requirement.
If you have a lot of time on your hands, nothing makes your math/cs hw look quite as slick. Was fun to play around with in undergrad for sure. I've forgotten all my LaTeX skills since though.
Ah, right, they apologised. That changes everything :->

What matters is that nobody - not a single one of perpetrators of a bombing organised by police, which killed five random kids, and this is ignoring reports of police shooting at survivors fleeing the fire - got punished. "The city" paid some (public) money, that's all. It's not whataboutism, it's showing that the claim that "public condemnation against China will do nothing" because of Tienanmen is terribly misleading: those same things happen everywhere, you're just assuming they are somehow fundamentally different there. Sometimes they are, but mostly not.

As for the Chinese government: Chinese prime minister responsible for Tienanmen spent the rest of his life in house arrest. Can you imagine this happening in the land of the free?
> but what's the alternative if one doesn't have a human instructor available?

My point is, there isn't one. Modelling the student's thought processes is essential. Maybe GPT could be trained to emulate such?

But there are some solutions such as book publishers not uncritically accepting an author's braindump as being the last word, but putting it in front of people to see what how they interpret it and where they get lost etc and feeding that back into the writing process, a few rounds of that and it'll be much better. I really wish they did that, the quality of so many maths books make them little better than lecture notes.
It's a hard equation to solve for, there are so many contributors:

- There are lots of good things on Prime video, and it's convenient that it's bundled in.
- But: Many times when I want to watch, I'm not ready to invest in a rental, but it can be hard to find things to watch that aren't an upsell.
- The music service (is that still a thing) was so bad when I first tried it I've never gone back.
- The bad music kind of poisoned me on Alexa (a primary use for me is music).
- There's a huge selection of things I need on Amazon, and can get exactly what I need (rather than something vaguely close like local stores).
- But: I always worry if things are counterfit, and the ease often leads me to buying stuff I don't need, so it can be a huge negative value there.
- But *2: They really have this shopping for stuff thing down.

> to break free of LaTeX and "only" support it as an Export mean (for PDF of LaTeX directly)

The same with Lyx; it's even often criticised by LaTeX experts since it hides it very well and it is not particularly well suited to fiddle directly with the generated code.
I haven't used the slightly older models, but it may be worth sticking with them because it's possible to adapt them to use a standard 20v tool battery (I've specifically seen this done for the V8).

Meanwhile on the V10 I have, batteries cost $130, can't be hot-swapped easily, and use a higher voltage that makes the 20v tool battery modification impractical. I planned to replace (and upgrade) the cells on the refurbished model I bought because the battery has been subpar since I received it, but so far I haven't managed to get past the abnormally-tricky plastic clips.
Street view is almost required when booking Airbnbs now. It's incredible how often the Airbnb photos look great and then you pull up street view and realize why the place was 20% cheaper than similar stays...
I think that's a lot of the issue: many people (including myself) are in fact happy with their private healthcare and broadband service.

(I have Comcast, so it's not like I've even got the "best", but I'd way rather deal with Comcast or Blue Cross than any government agency...)
Do you know of any projects using automated transcription and machine learning to analyze hominid speech?
I ask because I remember reading about google translate effectively learning how to translate languages purely through machine learning and a large corpus of transcribed speech.
Anyone wondering if OpenMW is good enough to play: the answer is very much a yes.

A year or two ago (it was shortly after they fixed shadows in the engine, which is what I'd been waiting for) I played the entire main quest and a good chunk of the side quests in it, plus the whole main quest of Tribunal, and started Bloodmoon (got distracted and stopped there). I cranked draw distance up quite a ways (nothing crazy, but way longer than the default), played at 4K resolution, and ran it through Mod Manager 2 with maybe 8-12 mods—don't remember exactly how many, but I've gotta have my herbalism mod, at the very least, or I'm not playing :-) I think I even had Twin Lamps (anti-slavers "guild", think Underground Railroad) in there, and it worked fine.

Zero crashes the whole time, which makes it far better than the original engine. No quest glitches or difficulties. It was perfect.

The only downside is that you can't use mods that directly modify the engine itself because they're all written for Bethesda's executables, specifically. This includes most of the more extreme "pretty" mods that make the graphics look better.

However, OpenMW is already a little better-looking than the original, and you can still install better textures, which helps a lot. I even got a replacement pack for the loading screens, to make them widescreen and HD.

I have got both a corded and cordless Dyson vacuum. For my high pile carpeted floors, I find that the battery powered one just does not have sufficient power even though the brush design is better than the corded one.

In general, I have come to hate battery powered stuff including laptops, power tools and cars because they just dont pack enough raw power for my needs.
This post is on to an important dynamic.

We've scaled databases then broken them up and our applications are distributed databases now. The tools mentioned seem a bit random but... There does seem to be space for database tooling that melds into our applications but everyone wants to bring you into their bubble instead.
Yes, I did exactly this at $DAYJOB, the holy grail for me would be to have the exact same build process without any "if $environment". But anyway I agree it is good enough.

I think as long as it was companies like nokia who liked to create smartphones that where primarily phones with texting first and computers a very distant second Symbian did not have a chance.

I know that they made stuff like the 9x00 communicators but they where never intended as mass market products.

Nokia was never able to craft a desirable product that brought applications to the mainstream user, most people who got their smartphones only used them as phones.

but wouldn't I simply use AWS free tier which offers more capacity and at cheaper rates than DO in any case?

or is this so much more convenient to pay a bit more and stay on DO?
It was surprising to me, yes. I wouldn't say I grew up exclusively with JRPGs (I did play the Eye of Beholder games on DOS), but those were the majority. And as you're probably aware, it is perfectly acceptable in JRPGs to break into people's houses to loot everything that is not nailed to the ground, and shatter their outdoor pots in search of currency.

I think my frustration was not that stealing is a crime in the game so much as the game's UI didn't really do anything to warn me that I was stealing. If the UI had maybe coded the action in red font with "Steal plate" instead of grey text "Take plate", I probably would have reconsidered.

Hey everyone! I wanted to play with Haskell (https://ihp.digitallyinduced.com/), and Rust (Cloudflare workers), so I decided to make a product with them. This is the MVP I’ve come up with. It supports teams, projects, environments, flag variations, scheduling and expiry, and a reasonably complete targeting system that support Boolean logic combining user ID targets, arbitrary metadata targeting, rollout targets, and default fallthrough variations.

Some of those are features that are in the most expensive tier of other offerings, but they're all in my free tier because restricting them to higher tiers seemed silly to me.

There’s a typescript and react SDK, and swagger API docs. The website runs on IHP, and the actual flag resolving API is deployed on cloudflare workers, so response times are generally 40-100ms (though that could be due to my internet, it might be faster for you).

Coming soon: reusable groupings of users, and a dashboard showing all the users that have been targeted, what flags they evaluated, and what they evaluated to.

Feel free to ask any questions, and let me know what you think!

I think what they're saying is if something is hard to do, you "go big or go home". If something is super easy to do, you'll accept less because you're probably hitting up a lot more people with it.

Like they might accept a ransomware of $200 instead of nothing from person X because they're hitting up thousands of people with it, whereas if you go through all the effort to physically kidnap someone and leave a ransom note, you're not going to be able to do that thousands of times, probably just a couple at most, so you're going to demand a large ransom payment to make it worth the effort, like $1 million+.

They also didn't say 'unpayable', btw, just more difficult to pay.

You're right, but it's also not quite as dire as you make it. Experts generally speaking are vulnerable to nerd sniping. The key is to have an interesting problem to ask them about. (The definition of "interesting" is going to vary from expert to expert, though.) If you have that and you can find a place where they congregate, they will be eager to give you an answer. Not so much in order to help you, but in order to satisfy their own curiosity or demonstrate their own knowledge.
L-Systems Considered Harmful (2009)
It absolutely was not obvious. At least not to anyone who believed the mission statement. Read the post and tell me what is wrong. It's a bit coarse, but still accurate. BTC was created ostensibly as a privacy currency. A job it failed at by deflating wildly until it was utterly useless for simple transactions and became an investment asset. Amateurs saw it going up and wanted in, then it crashed much harder than every other investment class. It was supposedly an inflation hedge because it wasn't subject to central bankers, yet it lost value far faster than any fiat currency. What even is the current crash? There's no fundamentals like yields or P/E ratios to say that any crypto has gained or lost any intrinsic value. There's no equity voting rights. There's no index associated to it's purchasing power. There's no bonds denoted in any crypto value. It is driven entirely by sentiment. After the dotcom bust, it took the NASDAQ _17 years_ to fully recover to it's peak. Crypto investors are not going to wait that long.
