Wait what.

So the street you want to avoid in SF is... Market Street?

That just reads like "don't go to Oakland."
If a lot of other people are using blocklists to block foxnews.com and friends, your campaign that doesn’t block them will intuitively consume a larger share since there are fewer people bidding there. I fail to see how this site list could be representative.

Edit: Oh, I didn’t notice this is content marketing for “Check My Ads”. No wonder it’s written in this inflammatory style.
I am glad someone is taking on this challenge! Its been a few years since I was saying that the last piece of the serverless puzzle is a good postgres serverless database.

If I was not working on my startup I would apply for sure. It would be nice to present the project on the CMU database group youtube channel at some point to dive into the implementation.
Wouldn't "anonymous" include display ads run inside of mobile apps as they don't have an actual HTTP URL?

Hence why it could be such a large percentage?

And we know the prevalence of large ad exchanges (e.g. Xandr/AppNexus, etc), but the document doesn't list any references to those.

Why would this be important? Because ad exchanges sometimes also cloak the site and instead provide their bidding domain.

This really seems to be an ad for a new entrant into brand safety, which is an already established market[1][2][3].

But written in a way to capitalize on outrage and make it seem like they are novel in their approach?

I don't care if somebody is on the political left or right or whatever, I can find common ground and have respect for just about anybody. But this article is garbage: half of this article is just a divisive rant from a really butthurt leftist perspective about ads daring to appear on right leaning sites that they're targeting for destruction by literally running a fundraising campaign to "defund". This article is cloaked anti-free-speech political advocacy masquerading as something else.
Look at the screenshot of one of the news sites in the top list "DOCTORS ADMIT COVID BOOSTER CAUSES AIDS".

If we can't call out genuine lies, where do we stop?
Says the doc is deleted in both google docs and airtable
AWS has Aurora Serverless v2 out already for postgresql along with RDS for postgresql. Not scale to zero though / bottom is 40/month or so
I use it for personal, company and other sessions in the same window, to authenticate with different credentials on the same sites. It's fantastic!
Bummer. I knew the doc was deleted, couldn't verify airtable.
Yes, conditionals and loops in TF are limited and have various annoying and surprising edge cases. But if something is hard to do with the Terraform DSL it's usually a good idea to reconsider if it is really something that one should be doing.

We want infrastructure automation to be boring and just work.

The risk with general purpose programming languages is that people will always find a way to outsmart themselves. Yes, sure, you can use the testing tool chain of the language of your choosing. But it's not like we have figured out to write software without bugs, despite all the awesomeness of modern languages.

I don't think Rust projects get abandoned any more than projects in other languages. I think it's just that you see them more because people are excited about Rust so they share projects even if they're abandoned.
I'm not sure, that can be stated as fact, but for this subtopic (How to run all FXA and syncserver selfhosted) the docs make it sound easy to deploy/run. As expected, after all, the featureset needed isn't huge for "Maintain a list of tabs per browsers per User, authenticated via some backend plugin for the syncserver".
But then you read, that you need to run half a dozen "fxa-something" servers, in addition to the SyncServer. And a clear writeup of those is what I briefly check for every few months, but haven't found yet.
Some parts of the PostgreSQL start-up sequence take a long time:

- Initializing shared memory -> We, for now, have only small instances, so that doesn't hit us as hard

- Reading data directories -> We don't have to do that at all

- Replaying WAL from a previous unclean shutdown -> We don't need to do that, PageServer is responsible for that

- When initializing a whole new database: Initializing the data directory -> We have a copy that each instance gets initialized from, which makes the process "copy those ~16MB in the background", which saves us from having to do the costly initialization process.

And there's several more infrastructural optimizations, such as pre-loading the docker images onto the hosts.
The hints are pretty sparse because Severian doesn’t know where he is any more than the reader does, but Wolfe confirmed it in an interview here: https://www.depauw.edu/sfs/interviews/wolfe46interview.htm

But yeah the river is a big hint. The Paraná in Argentina is a good candidate, and it’s easy to rule out other big delta rivers like the Nile or Mississippi. Iirc Severian also uses the word “pampas” for plains, and at some point we learn there’s a jungle zone to the north, with an arid region beyond.
An ad company that's also very good at pretending it is more than an ad company. In this context the constant churn of abandoned products makes sense: it's a good bad-publicity saturation technique.
It also removes a big chunk of metal and fans taking up space on your motherboard, covering other slots. It adds complexity, not really sure what the "overhead" here is that you're referring to.
Google should stop being so opaque, and only advertise with companies with high social credit scores, sorry I mean ESG scores.

I think self-hosting is the better solution if you're worried about someone blocking a VPN's IP address.

I've heard those conspiracy theories, but to be honest I just accepted that everything was monitored when I was in China anyway. Installing something like Wechat/微信 basically gives tencent permission to everything that's on your (Android) phone anyway. To me, the VPN was solely about granting access to what was otherwise blocked, not about privacy.
Both great. The secure knot is the best, secure but doesn't jam, looks good too, but Ian knot ties much faster.

I usually go with Ian knot by default but switch to the secure one if it comes undone.

Your posts are deleted so there is no way to judge what you said and what response it called for. If a former member starts an AMA to badmouth a project, I'd expect the lead to respond and give the necessary information to defend the project and himself.
Oh yeah, all those fakes and manipulations made are breitbart and fox are just "informations".
Good one.
If you are using cloud formation, it already does a uuid like name on resources it creates.
That’s one take.

I think the more telling observation is that these brands have become so toxic that they are willing to have Google take a significant vig off of their revenue because frankly, who wants to be associated with Ticker Carlson and whatever odious nonsense he’s up to today? It also speaks to cracks in the Google business model - why isn’t Google relegating Fox to prostate pills and the conservative AARP clone like the rest of the market?

Drudge is a little different imo. He’s just an aggregator with a consistent editorial slant. It’s the 2022 version of circa 1995 NY Post. In the age of MAGA, he’s practically a democrat.
They did mention "20 hours at a book shop" and "a stressful profession". 20 hours at a book shop earning $17/hr works out to $17k/year (in my original comment I miscalculated and didn't factor in the reduced hours and got $34k). $80k is my estimate for how much "a stressful profession" (eg. finance, consulting) pays.

Articles loaded fine; I'm not sure what is broken about it.
A crucial feature which is missing for me in containers is the ability to limit AddOns to specific containers.

My employer's org deploys a Microsoft SSO AddOn which re-uses the OS-level identity to auto-login to Microsoft/Office365/Azure and causes me quite some headaches when dealing with my customers' logins, which are usually in separate containers.

I switched to FF profiles for those use-cases for now, but it's far from the container experience in terms of usability and integration.
Of course he will say that now, Tesla has already profited from the insane stock rally in the last few years.
At the end of the YT video, the audience applause seems tepid, nobody stands, and yet the performers must be exhausted. (I think it's a great performance.) There's no singable theme, nothing really catchy, just 15 minutes of pretty intense focus required by everybody. For me, it's completely gripping - it can't be background music and I cannot do other work if it is playing. I think it is somehow alien, and so it will never be as widely celebrated as his other works.
I'll give that a whirl. I usually use a tautline hitch for that function.
If some state information is stored using metadata then we need that metadata to know the total state. The contents of TF state is more than what can be read from the provider APIs often.
I love the idea of indoor summer days, but my wife thinks it's cozy when it's dim inside (never mind that I think she'd enjoy winter more if she could get more daylight than what's available far north where we live). The dimmable strips sound like an amazing compromise. Are those available at sufficient wattage?
Validating CSS colors using TypeScript's type system
The thing is that a simple name doesn't work either, so 'server1' doesn't work, 'server1.local' doesn't work. 'server1.example.com' works, and I think 'server1.lan' also works, but I'm not sure about that last one.
Indeed, listening to 2/3rds of it left me in a fugue-like state.
That sounds like that should have started with "Don't code with Typescript on the server side at all" instead. If Typescript is pretending things unsuccessfully, you might as well stick with plain Javascript. (It wouldn't surprise me if Javascript ultimately lived longer, just like Smalltalk actually outlived Strongtalk in the end.)
Just out of curiosity: does anyone know any real-time multiplayer game that runs the physics simulations on the server side? AFAIK, only Rocket League is doing this (and they have some good talks about it on GDC).
Seems a fine way to think about things. Essentially turn based games treat player actions as a clock tick?
EMS doesn't give me an option for bridges though, right?
Yes. I am looking for something like Tailscale but can be self-hosted.
If you're living in it, it's ready to move in.

Unsure what market you're in, you may be surprised at what state of things people are buying due to the high demand and "lack of supply".
"should be able to rely on the provider’s APIs to understand what exists" is the crux of it. Provider APIs, in praxis, are insufficient / impractical.

Do Kwon is apparently in the process of launching Luna 2.0, he's been retweeting the listing of that crypto on several exchanges. I don't know if I should laugh or cry.
Cool. Looking forward to see the intermediate dataset.

I think you should post a ToDo list on the git repo. People can then contribute their skills.
The media generally reported the numbers of hospitalisations and deaths and the pressure on hospitals pretty accurately.

I leave it to you as to whether you think 1 million deaths over 2 years in the US is something you should have been fearful of, or whether it is pretty trivial
There's another problem with many these smart lights, IMHO.

A lightbulb should be a long-lasting, easily replaceable thing. Putting in all sorts of doodads into the base of lightbulb just strikes me as wasteful and a recipe for a brittle configuration. It's bad enough putting in a power converter, now we're talking about RF transceivers, computers, webservers, and REST API's. All this packed into a tiny very hot space packed in with silicone goop and made, often times, by disinterested bottom-of-the-barrel manufacturers.

It's much better, I think, to have the light bulbs be just that, LIGHTBULBS. Of course, they can be LED's, DC powered and have multiple colors but the control and power source should be in a box away from the lights, somewhere convenient. You can then put all the internet-of-things jazz into THAT BOX and not in each light.

This would ultimately give interior designers a better palette of light sources to work with and give consumers a less annoying churn of bad choices for technology.
HomeDepot.com often won't let me add things to cart. The past couple months it has been working again, but there were a few months where I couldn't.

This morning, I couldn't buy a key off cdkeys.com - tried two totally different methods, email addresses, credit cards. Didn't try a second browser yet but I'm not sure I am that persistent...

A news site, I think the New Yorker, would only show the first two paragraphs of an article but in other browsers, would show the full article.

I don't log which sites break - if it's important I tend to cave and open Edge for that site, do my business, and then go back to Firefox for everything else. If it's less important, I'll opt to just not to business with them. But I'm a grain of sand so it doesn't make much difference.

Most sites just have really obnoxious CAPTCHA, often requiring more than one "pick the things" but I don't know if my experience is specific to Firefox.
Well-said. I was a bit sloppy in my terminology because the math of quantum computing is mostly linear (albeit complex) but I was thinking of the Schrodinger part.

When qbits have to be read, we convert them from complex to real and that step is both nonlinear and nondeterministic.
Every time something is broken for me on a site it is because of an addon/extension, not because of Firefox. I beleave Firefox get much blame for broken sites when it actually is an addon that the user installed which is to blame.

I even have some vague recollection of Mozilla mentioning just this. Like 99% when something is broken it not because the browser but because some addon the user installed.

So test a site that you dont think works with the "troubleshoot mode" in Firefox that inactivate addons etc to see if it works then. And if it works, then figure out which addon it is that makes the mess and to blame.
Ray-optics: a web app to simulate the reflection and refraction of light
One elegant solution to this problem is to keep 100% of the game state on the server and to stream x264 to clients.

I think if you engineered games explicitly for this use case, you could create a much more economical path than what products like Stadia offer today.
Honestly, most of them felt like they were clocking in and out which I'm ok with.

I remember 3 really good teachers in high school. One was my 9th grade English teacher and the other 2 were part of a pilot program to introduce a multi-period general purpose computer class in the late 90s. I still think about them sometimes. What was unique about the 2 running the computer class was since it was a pilot program (first time trying it), there was no rule book. They put together a curriculum but I remember there being a lot of time for self guidance and experimenting (it was a 4 period class every day for 2 years) which was great.

However, I remember taking a job placement test in 6th or 7th grade. That test said I was best suited to be a mortician or a brick layer. I also remember being threatened with detention multiple times when I was 7-10 years old because I didn't want to pledge allegance to the flag every morning. Not because I hate my country or was brought up in a weird way around that, I just didn't like the idea of being forced into doing something I didn't understand.

One of my biggest takeaways from school was that I learned not to depend on anyone for anything that's truly important and being an adult doesn't mean you're always right by default. I have no regrets or issues with that outcome.
California faces power shortages and price hikes amid drought woes: report
The true resolution of digital cameras isn't measured in pixels, it's measured in cycles per pixel and then related to the sensor size and pixel pitch[0]. Camera sensor pixels are not squares like the pixels in a digital image, they are point samples. You can then interpolate from the point samples onto an arbitrary number of digital pixels, so what matters is basically how close you can still see edges between lines, which depends on more things than the sensor size. When megapixels are quoted for a digital camera, they are either quoting sensor size (resolution) (like on real engineering documentation) or they are just quoting the highest resolution digital image they think they can get away with the software producing (marketing, advertisements), which is arbitrary, which is part of why you do hear not to just select a camera with the most megapixels.

It's a pretty deep topic and people do get degrees in basically just digital imaging. Not me though! I don't really understand most of this stuff...

All except one or two high school teachers were completely useless. I couldn’t wait to get to college… where it turns out your professors openly despise undergrads and teaching in general.

On the plus side I figured out I can learn pretty much anything for a textbook, except for sequences and series and mathematical proofs which still baffle me.
Short answer is no (thermodynamics of course, but if you want to get whimsy https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betteridge%27s_law_of_headli...).

Long(er) answer is that the pace of growth experiences periods of acceleration/slowdown. On the grand scheme of things, we're still carried by the momentum of the Enlightenment. Postmodernism, socialism, and a lack of conviction from the enlightened few are the main headwinds at the moment. The cosmos is practically limitless in terms of energy and resources. But we won't be able to transform those into useful work within the current societal and political frameworks. Too many idiots with voting rights and too few smart folks in decision-making roles.
And the article points out that the big players were able to squeeze big profits out of this before the inevitable crash:

> Many of the large firms that invested in and marketed this coin were able to exit before the crash occurred, escaping with massive profits. Strangely, some of these whales felt the need to share this in their comments following the crash. Pantera Capital CIO Joey Krug admitted that they had sold 80% of their Luna position before the crash. Furthermore, Pantera Capital partner, Paul Veradittakit, seemingly bragged that they had turned their $1.7 million dollar Luna investment into around $170 million dollars.

So the bag holders/true believers directly funded the market makers and manipulators.
Not a big gamer so apologies if it exists.

I feel like Pokémon go style games are massively underexploited.

Not just augmented reality but using cities as playgrounds. Nokia did some interesting things with this in the late 90s.

A fps might be problematic, but what about non violent trading (certain locations have mines etc, you can use resources to construct factories visible in augmented reality etc.) essentially a parallel world economy and reality that sits atop the physical word.
Ah yes, cache eviction, one of two hard problems in computer science...
This is very nice and looks like a useful tool.

It's also very much not a "Tailscale Alternative" – it explicitly describes itself as not being "a tool for creating mesh networks", which is the exact thing that Tailscale is all about.

Nebula (https://github.com/slackhq/nebula) is much closer to actually being a fully open-source and self-hostable Tailscale alternative as I understand it, though I've never used it myself.
Let's censor and demonetize all information we disagree with. Good one.

It is very explicitly not a post about React, which is why React was not mentioned until the middle. It is a post about properly documenting your code in order to understand why it is there later.

The example could be any code that interacts with dependencies which get updated from time to time. Instead of “why do we stop propagation here?” the question could have been “why is this float converted to a string here?” If the answer is not clear from within the same function call, it may (may!) need a comment to clarify it.
One more point on technical matters of the website: you can’t depend on icon fonts. The font file may fail to load (networks are not reliable), or the user may just have disallowed pages from choosing their own fonts, for accessibility reasons or just because it makes the web surprisingly much nicer.

Yes, they’re convenient, but iBack to this page as experienced: if I just saw a bunch of squares instead I might hold my peace, but you’re using Material Icons, and Material Icons is the worst. Its ligation technique means that if the font doesn’t load, you get a value that’s much larger than intended, which has a habit of rendering interfaces unusable.con fonts are a technique that you just can’t rely on, even when you’ve taken care of the screen reader accessibility angle. I say it’s best to just avoid icon fonts altogether. They’re seldom sufficient anyway, so if you’re going to use other techniques for parts of the document, you might as well just use other techniques everywhere.

Here’s a preview of what the top of the page looks like for me: https://temp.chrismorgan.info/2022-05-28-selldone-sans-mater...

Want to try it out in full? You could edit the document in the dev tools to remove Material Icons, but to get the authentic experience, in Firefox, settings → Fonts → Advanced → untick “Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of your selections above”. (I decided to try forcing my own fonts for a week a few months ago, was delighted with the result, and have no intention of going back; it just does marvels for readability. And here is a complete record of the actual breakage I’ve seen: Material Icons on a number of Google properties, most notably Translate and everything in developers.google.com, often quite ruining the page; Material Icons on I think four other sites now, negligible in all cases but this where it really does a number on some parts of the page; a minor unimportant icon font on DuckDuckGo, but they selected decent code points so the fallback glyph is mostly just as good; and one other nonessential icon font yesterday. That’s all. Reflecting now, I’d have expected some breakage from Font Awesome; it looks like Firefox may be special-casing those fonts and permitting them on at least the Font Awesome website, not sure about others.)

(I’ve gone into the detail I have as I think others may find it interesting. It is certainly a tangent.)
