> I'm planning a road trip this summer that will easily be over 3000 miles

For a comparison, my annual mileage, including 1-2 driving holidays a year is about 4000 miles.

> many stretches through national parks or just barren desert where even my petrol car is going to require me to remember to refuel before I proceed.

Are any of those stretches longer than 300 miles without any refuels? Why is it ok to refuel and potentially run the entire range of your gas car, but not your EV?

> I know a friend of mine with a full long-range Tesla literally carries all the cables to work

And? Are you judging him for being prepared? I can make slights about people who drive with litres of water and foil blankets in case they get stuck in the wilderness, but that doesn't mean that they're not completely correct in being prepared for the situations they're facing.

Maybe an EV isn't for you. But for people who don't drive the width of the continental US on a vacation or do spontaneous driving trips that are greater than the range of a petrol car, (which I'd wager are far more common) they are.
Sounds like not much has changed since we used it in 2018.
I'm still using Firefox as my primary browser on desktop and mobile. I have minor complaints, but nothing to make me consider switching to something else.
The whole idea of the article is that “previous state” is something that can be derived from tags / metadata in the provider’s resources, rather than a standalone file. In other words, this metadata then is the state.

Could you give an example of a situation / transition that cannot be captured correctly by managing the state using these types of tags?

Sounds like a plan for a next generation cloud provider. They all have internal state about your account and what's running there; they just don't really expose it in a standardized way. Nor do they provide standardized ways to update that (other than a lot of cli tools and REST APIs).

We keep coming up with these layers of abstractions around stuff that at the bottom is essentially already stateful but just not in a useful way. Doing it right from the ground up might help. Of course, left to the usual suspects, this would just turn into another Frankenstein blackhole of devops time. The usual suspects are billion dollar corporations that thrive on layers of complexity.

This is a common misconception, but the patent is not specific to internal recording.

Apple and Atomos co-invented ProRes Raw, and this nonsense has hampered Atomos's external recorders as well. Apple and Atomos are paying Red's extortion and... that's how bullshit patents are used to steal people's work in the USA.
I tried Musikcube a week ago and it's pretty good aside from that, though once it crashed for some reason. Looks more polished than most TUI applications, though.

Nothing can replace Clementine for me. It can stop playback automatically once a song is finished playing. Imho this is the best feature since the invention of playlists and I don't know why nobody else implements this (except for I think foobar2000 but that's a Windows app).
I wonder why there are sites in which the reader mode is not even available. I can't think of any right now but it happens with relative frequency to be annoying.

Neon has the ability to make a Copy-on-write replica of a database, which for you would allow you to create an instant read-only copy of the data that has been ingested up to that point, without significant storage overhead. The new data would still be written to the primary database, and long running queries would only see the snapshot that the instance was started with (using their own pool of CPU and memory resources).

Assuming that the extensions that you use are compatible (that is, they don't access database files in a way that PostgreSQL doesn't, and the licence is compatible) then Neon could be a good solution to that issue.
I thought most use opera leo since Mozilla is heavy and buggy as frak
So, what you're saying is that in a few years, Tesla will be, at best, only 30% of the EV market, as opposed to pretty much 100% these days ? And that they'll be fighting against actual constructors that know how to make cars without flimsy plastic panels that wiggle ? And that all these cars are of higher build quality and equal or better than a Model 3 that starts at $50k, while they'll all be cheaper ? And that all these companies have existing factories and repair shops all over the US, Europe and other countries, as opposed to Tesla who's spent their time propping up their stock price and not building anything ?

Yeah, no. It's not looking good for Tesla.

You don't refute my statement. You still only get from A to B in about the same time. It's just slightly more convenient. But if the schedule is actually kept by the trams it's not even that, you can just look at the posted paper schedule at the station. The difference in convenience then only is that you have to walk a few steps to see the much smaller print.

I never disputed the utility of GPS. Although there is indeed the disadvantage of using it too much, having lived long enough in the pre-GPS time using maps and/or trying to use just my brain to find my way felt good in different ways, and I still use that method when going somewhere where the journey is the goal itself. It's like when one of my flight instructors covered up all the instruments and got me to fly by sight - including things like angle of attack, at least in level flight (yes that only works for small planes, large ones must be flown by the numbers and instruments, same with IFR conditions).

You still overlook all the larger picture things, the systemic stuff. A discussion so limited to only the thing itself instead of the system is useless in my view, and quite boring, more like trying to gain the upper hand in a discussion by selecting a limited scope and reading into the comment only as much so you can find some angle of attack, instead of using good will and really actually trying to see one's point. You began like that right from the very start, when you started your first reply: "What a horribly myopic take". Zero good will and insulting. AFAICS you keep looking for ways to "win". This is quite tiring.

How would you know whether one thing id better than the other without testing them- having them compete against each other? Most e.g. products you could make are a waste, and figuring out what should be made and how much of it is a very non-trivial problem.

Just yesterday I was comparing managed serverless postgres offers and was sad to temporarily end my investigation with a compromise of using managed aws RDS for development, hoping that a fully serverless postgres with a nice free tier would pop up before going to production, and here we are!

Congrats to the team for what feels like an amazing product. Signed up for the early access, can't wait to get my hands on this!

For anyone interested, these ere the DB offers I looked into:

* DO managed postgres, no free tier but price scaling was not too aggressive, the issue is that it's not natively serverless and we're gonna get 100s of ephemeral connections.

* Cockroach, was the best option for our use case but it doesn't support triggers and stored procedures, so we can't use it right now (closely following https://github.com/cockroachdb/cockroach/issues/28296)

* Fly.io price scaling is too aggressive 6$ -> 33 -> 154 -> 1000s a month and no free tier that I could find.

* Aurora serverless v2 is only for aws internal access and we are using gcp.

* Aurora v1 was what we were gonna go with, but a lot of people online have showed their negative opinion around slow scaling. I didn't investigate enough but I'm thinking we'd need to setup RDS proxy for it handle all our connections, which would've bumped up the price by a good amount. Also no free tier.

* Alloydb looked promising but also no free tier and starting price is a bit much for our current phase of development, but it was definitely something we'd look into in the future.

And now Neon, natively serverless with a (hopefully) good free tier to test things out and some hints about cross region data replication, amazing stuff!

Yeah, the class differences are interesting. In the US, fast food is something that a lot of poor people rely on and the meals are cheap there.

When I grew up in early post-Communist Czechoslovakia, McDonalds was where the richer kids went and later bragged about. The menu used to be too pricey for a random Czech.

These days, fast food is comparably cheaper than it used to be, but still relatively expensive for the poorest fifth of the population. As long as someone poor can cook, they are better off cooking at home and only going to fast food restaurants on holidays or so.

Been using FF for about a year now. Absolutely no complains. Before that I used Chrome for many years and really there is nothing I used to do con Chrome that I cannot do on FF.

I did not change because of privacy concerns or whatever, I just wanted to try something else, and FF has been quite alright.

> Leadership comes with huge trade-offs, especially if you're a technically capable creative, which makes it something to put off as long as possible. You only assume a leadership role when you have to.

I have noticed a combination of examples that confirm and reject this. Speaking for myself and some of the colleagues whom I consider good developers: none of us want to deal with the official responsibility that comes with being a leader so we don't want to step into that role. On the other hand our manager is an excellent developer and super sharp individual and he seems to have boundless energy for leader-type activities - the kind that just thinking about makes us feel weary. My (unsubstantiated) theory is that it comes down to a combination of culture+work ethic+ambition+grit: just putting one's head down and getting stuff done, irrespective of whether it is creative or enjoyable. Of course, our manager gets paid very very well so that, at least partially, makes up for the trouble.

That's fine. I disagree, but that's fine too.

What I took issue with was the suggestion that "most other languages" have a better web framework. I'd wager most other languages don't even have a web framework. And even amongst those that do, there's some real dirt out there, and much worse examples of packaging, tooling, etc. Two Python frameworks, Django and FastAPI would be in my as-objective-as-possible top 10.

It was a silly thing to say.
If you can run your inference on CPU and it only takes 10x longer than on GPU, then it sounds to me like a 3090 will be vast overkill. Have you considered an inference-only GPU like the T4 or the A2? From what you're saying it seems to me like they're made for use cases exactly like yours.
I know one. He learnt about bitcoin in 2017 and bought one bitcoin at the top. He forgot he had it until bitcoin broke 20K in 2021. From there using simple trading strategies he managed to trade this one bitcoin into five before exiting after the price hit the most recent all time high. He got out at 50K exiting into USDT.

While waiting for a re-entry into bitcoin he found out about staking stable coins. He didn't understand how the UST peg was kept but like a lot of complex things in life he didn't question it. He knew the yield was abnormally high but chalked that up to the investors pouring money into the project trying to gain traction. He expected the yield to be lowered over time to normal market levels as investor money ran out and adoption occured.

He staked 250K and was earning approx $950 a week in yield. I spoke to him after the peg broke (0.33c) and he was confident that the peg was going to stabilise. I told him I didn't think that was going to occur and to exit on the bounce at a loss he was comfortable with. Suffice to say he ended up exiting UST at 0.10c.

To answer your question people get involved because they see opportunity, have a high risk tolerance and/or just don't understand the risks.

And many others don't... even places that were brutalized by the occupiers such as Taiwan and South Korea (the Japanese Empire definitely played for the gold in the Imperial League when it comes to brutality against the natives).

If anything, the measurable differences between ex-colonies, when it comes to their current state, are maddenigly confused. People tend to forget that even smaller European nations were sort-of colonized, the Czechs and the Slovenes by the Austrians, the Slovaks by the Hungarians, the Serbs by the Turks, the Finns by the Swedes and later by the Russians.

And it seems that it mattered who colonized you. Long term, former Austrian and German colonies are doing okay, Hungarian less so (sorry, Hungarians, but it is true!), Russian and Turkish ones much less so. You can still see the difference e.g. in Romania, when you cross the former Hungaro-Turkish border, or in Poland, when you cross the former Russo-German border. Even 100 years of independence didn't erase the differences.
Water cooling is hugely problematic because the cooling system will eventually spring a leak, and having water spraying/dripping all over your expensive server hardware is not anyone's idea of fun. That's why data centers use air cooling and a separate HVAC.
All of which are patents on MATH, which is supposed to be unpatentable.

Talk about bullshit.
I agree that it does have its limitations, but databases are all about trade-offs.

Talking about the "correctness" of a choice between tradeoffs is weird though. Running your database on hard drives nowadays is not a great choice - yet people still did that because the cost of hard drives was way cheaper than that of memory.

Running your database in a way that doesn't guarantee that a 'committed' response actually retains the changes that it was responding on - yet people still ran their database in such configuration to scrape the barrel on performance.

All Neon does is put up another option: If you don't mind the implications of networked storage, then here's one database system that has zero-cost cloning and does not lose data on single-node failure.
We are in the middle of interviewing for our first ever intake of graduates/juniors and this describes what we are looking for to a T.

We will have a small code related test, but it's short and relatively simple but of but fixing/changing existing code.

Sure. I thought I’d left the dots close enough, but perhaps I didn’t. I believe that full self-driving cars will bring benefits above an area just being less car-dependent in general because of their inherent random route ability, which represents a huge time savings over rail and buses which seem to run in a radial spoke fashion.

Take the case of an elderly person with limited personal mobility. They are likely driving today because that’s their best option by far. They’re probably not going to start walking to their doctor; it’s probably not a good idea for them to take up biking. Taking a bus into the city center and another one back out to get to a point that’s radially 2-3 miles away and then reversing that to get home seems wildly less practical than hopping into an FSD ride, whether billed like an uber or privately/family owned. That’s what FSD brings over a status futurus that is less car dependent but lacks FSD.

And don’t forget the curious German-speaking region consisting nine municipalities in north-eastern Belgium.

Brussels and its exurbs are a fascinating language and politics mashup, held together and functioning in part by a particularly Belgian mindset and humour, which is often visible nationally on related topics.

My favourite part of what is now Belgium is the even weirder history of a once neutral/condominium/contested territory around Moresnet, where a vague attempt to create a little independent country there led to many of its inhabitants learning Esperanto.

For laughs, search for “Baarle-Hertog, Belgium” in Google Maps too. The borders around there seem almost fractal.

> "no. Just no."

Conveys the feeling that there is no scenario where doing this is feasibly and you yourself just said it's acceptable for BI but not AI training.

So the "no. Just no." actually means, "my use case does not allow for this, so I believe no one else should use this" which is a fallacy on its own.

In conclusion, this is fairly usable, but like everything else, it's not for all use cases.
