A bit late to the news, protests already ended and net already re established ;p

Also the net wasn't fully down, I'm in Islamabad (the site of the protests) and was tweeting and watching videos of the protests on my net throughout the "outage".

to the point I was wondering if it wasn't a block and perhaps a more mundane technical issue? (I'm on PTCL, most issues I heard were of people on the Transworld backline)

However Netblocks confirmed it was indeed an imposed outage for two hours. Not sure what it achieved ;p

then again this is the country that blocked YouTube for six years, so yeah....

Tesla truck is for people that want a Tesla truck. No need to psychoanalyze and try to establish motivation. People can buy whatever they want.
It would be a rather dangerous precedent if they don't care about the save games. On some games, the world / game save file can have hundreds of hours invested into it. If they were just like "well sucks, we might lose it, eh", it'd say something about using stadia.
Can anyone explain how VMware's stock jumped from $90 to $120 on May 23rd before this was announced? How did people know this was going to happen 3 days before anyone of us heard of it?
Total War combined with Sim City
This is good stuff!

Besides finding hidden gems or undervalued articles, I would really like to see traction tracked. Now that rarely viewed articles are somewhat in the spotlight and get promoted, a before and after comparison would be interesting.

Fun anyway.
Burning wood might be even less efficient than burning gasoline. But if wood was free, that makes it pretty efficient per dollar.
You shouldn't feel guilty about this even a little bit. Consultants are a steal for clients. The alternative is to hire someone full-time, committing to their salary and benefits for years at a time. That you're willing to bill them a single day, and then get out of their hair? Unreal. Your bill rate should be an integer multiple of (your salary / 250).
The challenge for Databricks and Snowflake is that big cloud vendors are catching up with their own serverless products such as Redshift Serverless [0].

And they now provide Spark engines as well with associated notebooks. What's the unique offering in Databricks seen in this light?

There's plenty of middle ground. In terms of size, you have Mini ITX as pointed out by another comment, and there's MicroATX which is perhaps more common than regular ATX. And of course there are several mini systems like the Mac Mini, Intel NUC series, and derivatives/copies of the NUC.

There are a lot of case options for small Mini ITX systems, I'm using an NCase M1 which is a 12-13L by volume case. There are smaller cases, but the smaller the case, the less flexible it is with configurations, which is one reason they large ATX cases are still popular; it seems like a lot of enthusiasts like clear side panels and rgb light shows and so forth, and a tiny case isn't as exciting.

There are also multiple PSU size options. The NCase M1 I mentioned can use a regular ATX PS, but an SFX power supply fits better; SFX seems like maybe half the volume of a regular ATX PS. There is also SFX-L, which is a bit bigger so it can house a larger fan. These smaller PS standards are typically lower power, although you can get 650W+ SFX supplies now I think. Silverstone and Corsair were regarded as having the best SFX supplies last time I was looking.

Finally, there are a couple of options for external power bricks like you suggest. As mentioned elsewhere there is a PicoPSU which is a DC/DC converter the size of a 24 pin ATX socket. It just plugs into the ATX socket on any regular ATX-compatible motherboard and has some cables attached to the sides for peripherals. There's also the 'Thin Mini-ITX' standard, which is I think intended for digital signage and industrial stuff, but if your requirements are modest you can use these for a desktop also. They integrate a DC/DC converter and use a 19V laptop ac adapter. The ones I've seen are best suited to on-chip graphics and m.2/msata drives, though.
All currencies are readily convertible assets by definition.
The ineptitude of the automotive industry in dragging its heels relying on outdated semiconductor manufacturing is just mind-boggling,

This never happened, because outdated makes no sense.

You want a part? People make a part. Older is easier to make too, has more test cycles, failure points mapped, etc.

Automakers are doing things right, by using tested parts. Production methods.

We absolutely don't need new as the primary priority, or iterative, we need stable first.
I teach critical thinking. I love your answer. None of the sentences I am writing now are examples of critical thinking, but... I just love your answer.
This could serve as a good example to aspiring developers and system administrators of the value and sanctity of user data.

> Over 600 hours on 2 different characters. Both with 250 XP and at level 70 and 72. GONE!!!!!!!

Imagine their data is gone for good. What compensation could the vendor possibly provide? Would $10,000 do it? User data can be irreplaceable.
Yes, but it seems unlikely to hit consumer markets soon. It is mostly interesting for OEMs apparently. I hope I am wrong though.
> > given you have the basics of life taken care by your family, it's easier to give a ton of attention to a few things (say, videogames or even the next big scientific breakthrough)

> I'm not aware of any big scientific breakthroughs achieved by teenagers living at home with their parents.

As a 41-year-old, I'm incentivized not to believe that math is a young person's game, and so agree with you; but one could try to disagree with you by suggesting that it's a sweet spot: the years, say, mid-20s to late-30s are the time when the accumulating benefit of knowledge and experience has not yet been outweighed by the accumulating burden of age and responsibility. (And one could, of course, argue against this argument; I think that there is no valid conclusion but "it depends.")

I would also suggest that there probably are breakthroughs achieved by teenagers living at home with their parents! I think, for a recent example, of https://www.wuft.org/news/2022/02/18/buchholz-high-school-st... .
I read Hardy's book when I was in my late 20s, as an aspiring scientist. I do remember coming across this quote and thinking it did not apply to software. Last forward 20ish years, and I think it is absolutely true for me. I used to be a code monk/guru in my younger days .. having responsibilities has truly blunted this. The opportunity cost of any project feels too much. Beyond that, I feel I am less foolish and this is problematic. In my younger days, I was code first, and think later. This resulted in things getting built and iterated on. Now, I think a bit too much and this slows down (or completely eliminates) the building part. I also remember a quote from John Carmack about how with unlimited pizza and soda, you can build anything. This felt so true in my teens and 20s .. just not attainable for me now. I think having a somewhat high salary has something to do with it too (it makes one scared) to go on adventures. I think none of my points generalize beyond myself but something feels broken inside me ... maybe just burnout from tough jobs, responsibilities, etc. If anyone has insight on how to overcome, I'm all ears.
Judging by the number of people impacted and the comments it looks like a bug.

I'm not seeing a resolution yet.
I believe he meant "Time will tell". Or Tim can come and tell us, up to Tim.
One of the most “10,00 foot” unintuitive things is that a text format like json is faster parse than a binary protocol like protobufs.
I hear this, and I respect it, but I'll offer a different perspective:

Media is transient, it's ephemera. We will remember the big names but forget the small things. There's more media being produced than I could consume in a lifetime, so if something disappears I can move on to the next thing.

I find that experiencing media in the moment is part of the allure - this is something happening now and it's something I'm interested in now.

That's not to say we shouldn't have archives and history, but letting go of my collection has been a huge weight off my back.
Yes, fear will keep the people in line. Fear of the intelligence community's battle station.
the answer is liquid cooling. these Little Box and ATX power supplies have to rely on passive cooling (radiative, conductive, and convective) which is generally proportional to surface area == physical size ^ 3. if you halve the size, then, you lose 87.5% of the surface area! that's why these things can't shrink as much. but ultimately the silicon involved is miniscule.
Out of curiosity, how about https://stripe.com/tax? Do they compare similarly? I was considering using Stripe ~1 year ago and my only stopper was exactly international taxes, but it seems like they've integrated tax collection since then?

Disclaimer: I'm joining Stripe in a month :)
The contemporary Arabian garb isn't exactly "native" or historical. It's a successful attempt at developing a national identity for countries that hadn't really existed as nations before the 60s.
I hate that it is so attention-grabbing.

Having a long life stainless steel body with low-maintenance motors, long distance battery pack, and fast charging, really appeals to the engineer in me.
Do you genuinely believe that dividing net wealth by total employees gives a meaningful figure?

If Amazon employed me tomorrow, would their revenue immediately and automatically increase by $100k?
This is exactly what lbry/odysee is.
Hard drugs are completely decriminalized here in Seattle. You can fen smoke fentanyl on the bus without getting into trouble. Unfortunately. I miss the 80s when people were at least afraid of getting caught.
What is your complaint here, that company names should only be made up words?
Maybe, but "infinitely scalable storage" part is because of lower lever layer.
Not to crap the thread but in India we get 100Mbps(Broadband) no data cap for just 10$ a month. 3$ per month for 2GB per day data (60GB total). We have a tonne of local players for broadband which helps with the lower price. Its a shame a first world country like Canada has the rates so high. Perks of free market and capitalism I guess.
No need to speculate on how big or small the gaps may be, the article looks at the actual random gap values used on Wikipedia.

Quote: "The least viewed article in the sample, Erygia sigillata, has a page_random value of 0.500764585777. The article Katherine Hanley is right on its tail with a value of 0.500764582314, which is just 0.000000003 less, or 3e-9 in scientific notation. This is 98% smaller than the average random gap. In other words, Erygia sigillata is an extremely unlucky article as far as the “Random article” button is concerned! It’s 50 times less likely to be landed on than an average article."
Okay buy US government bonds with them. What else am I not seeing?
Because if it's that central to the economy, representing half of all outstanding dollars, it needs to be managed centrally or bad things are gonna happen?
Hopefully they just waiting for the support team timezone and it's just a matter of clicking restore on their storage at whatever point in time prior to the erasure

These are paying customers after all, surely they won't go around without backups. Imagine the image damage from something like that.
For me, it was relatively strict parents sending me to a relatively strict piano teacher who also was a parent, and that combination can be a force multiplier for a bad time. All of them had similar cultural backgrounds as well, being first generation immigrants from the same country.

mkl's reply described it the way I would have explained it. There is that inherent power dynamic between parents and children that can make it difficult to speak up. In addition, piano teachers teaching children are effectively in a parental role for that time.

That's something to keep in mind for anyone who finds themselves in a position of authority over children, who are still in the early stages of expanding their perspectives of the world they live in.
So, the exact same situation as the US? Are municipal ISPs legal? Do they pull the same trick of begging for government money to build rural infrastructure and then never build anything?
Which provider is this? Only gigabit I've seen in Beanfield (which provided excellent symmetric gigabit service to one of my old employers)
The Nazis had rudimentary rockets, so did India 300 years before then. They came, developed the idea and stayed by becoming American citizens.
The title makes this sound like another conspiracy theory about the government suppressing inflation in official numbers, but the article is actually a rational dive into the non-uniformity of inflation across various categories.

The last section attempts to link "differential" inflation to oligopolies, and I'm not sure I buy their arguments there, but it's thought-provoking nonetheless!
we are fucked.
Also, chickens will eat small animals, though usually more like mice than small birds. But I wouldn't put it past my chickens to at least peck at a dead bird, thus negating the whole exercise.
I don't get this kind of callous, tough-love, blow-up-your-memories sell.

There's nothing about any of this that looks like a ticking time bomb. Everything was fine until one day some part of the world around us unceremoniously disappeared, for no real ascertainable reason, in a way totally beyond most peoples control.

This is shit. Unqualifiedly just shit.

Good for you that you feel free & clear for casting off the past, but it's cavalier & mean to tell people they're better off that their hard work & things they've enjoyed have, for no real reason, self-destructed.
rogers?
Since they have links to all of these least viewed articles they will soon cease to be the least viewed articles.
Right. Just like the CEO, a fair amount of people could theoretically drive the tractor, but few have the experience. If you let the wrong person drive the tractor, they might just drive it right in to a river.
Cybertruck has 500 miles of range vs 320 on the F-150. That would seal the deal for me even though I would prefer a more traditional looking vehicle.
> Stop DRM'ing all the parts of the phone to shut out 3rd parties (if they want original, then let them decide). Stop telling the owners what parts they are allowed to swap and how they are allowed to do it.

Those are great, but they are not the major complaints of the Verge article and are thus not what _this_ article is asking about either, with that question you're answering.
Then you have dead, poisoned birds for them to peck at.
> Indefinitely. It doesn't recover. Because (modern, leading process) microchips

Most of our current supply chain problem is on trailing nodes.

Sure, there's not quite enough capacity on the leading nodes: there never is. It's a bit worse now than usual, but...

The big thing that's new here is increased demand plus some disruption on production has shown how little excess production exists for microcontrollers and various low-end ICs in consumer and industrial goods. It's difficult to justify building additional production on mid-end nodes, as margins are likely to fall back down in the future... but one can imagine various ways this nets out OK (e.g. countries deciding domestic production of these items is critical for national security reasons and supplying subsidy).
How so? A geostationary satellite sees night time.
The way you phrased this makes it sound like you're in favour of using a design after you've discovered it's inferior to an alternative.
Here's a practical critical thinking heuristic. When you want to practice your critical thinking, try these five words:

- READY? Center yourself (that means notice and acknowledge your emotional state which might be pushing you toward one conclusion; then counter that); Consider whether you are qualified and prepared to think critically on the subject at hand.

- HUH? Say "huh?" to yourself as a reminder that you might not understand the matter at hand. You might be miscomprehending the words entirely. Check that understandinf.

- REALLY? As to any matter of alleged fact, ask how we know it is true?

- AND? Whatever is being alleged, start wondering what ELSE is true that you have NOT been told? Sometimes errors of thinking are related to errors of scope and perspective.

- SO? Ask how the matter at hand is important. What difference does it make? Who cares?

These five words are a sort of mental swiss army knife for me when I have to critique my own thinking or someone else's.
In the US it’s not illegal to melt pennys, but it’s illegal to melt pennys to profit on the raw materials.
Is it actually faster?
It's from Miguel de Icaza, the creator of Midnight Commander. Of course it looks like MS-DOS. That's the whole point.
I think that emigrating killed any hoarding tendencies I may have had. I went to live in another country with two suitcases as my possessions, and left everything else behind. Although scary, I don't miss any of those things and it was one of the most liberating things I have ever done because it thought me that the objects we accumulate are not really that important.
sure, ASIN B00EAIG17E "DROK 110V 220V UPS Battery Backup Uninterruptible Switching Power Supply 12V 120W 110V-240V to 13.5V DC 50/60Hz with Battery Interface for Charging"

When you remove mains power it switches over instantly enough that the computer doesn't notice. There's no serial port on it so the computer has no way of knowing that it's on battery - but it was also only $26 shipped. No wires or battery or anything. I happen to have a few of the trimpot breakouts specifically for setting voltages, so i just made sure that when the PC was powered it was getting the correct voltage without sagging below 12.2ish under load at the output terminal of the PSU. It also has a little trimpot on the board for adjusting the voltage.

P.S. I'm not sure if Drok has a lot of knockoffs or not, i do know that i like that brand well enough, never had anything bought from them break in a weird way. I have slagged a few of their "waterproof" 24VDC boost converters, though!
I bet there are far more than 700 people that can do the warehouse worker's job for every 1 that both can and is qualified to do the CEO's job.

The point of that theme is primary to point out that the worker's wages aren't low because of the C-level pay. The worker's wages are low because almost anyone can do their job.
Re. parser:

> organice has a custom parser for Org files. It works quite fine and has unit tests to prove it. One of the quality goals for the parser is that when it parses and re-exports an Org file, it should not change the original file. Not seeing unrelated diffs is important for the productivity of the user. It sounds trivial, but lots of alternative products do not live up to this expectation.
In general, it’s not that strange to sell something then realize you can’t actually deliver it and make a refund. I guess HelloFresh is a little bit different from the average e-commerce business because they sell perishable food. But probably there’s some case where they would take some money then later decide to give it back.
It's almost already implemented:

- org-roam to create/manage notes

- latexpreview in org-mode buffers

- org-transclusion

Only the last is not ideal, since it work but with sometimes indenting issues etc.
That depends on what the figure is used for. That's almost like "do you really believe in statistics"

It is always useful for fish to ask what is water.

Otherwise people accept knee-jerk political phases like "free market" or "business friendly policies", without considering if it is optimal

There is a continuum of ways to arrange government, labour and private ownership. The particular point labelled "USA early 2000s" is not the only one.

That is what I genuinely believe - and I want to look around to see what the rest of the continuum looks like - the good and the bad parts
Not really, the first principle of not-too-bad ANNs is to use some kind of preprocessed, hopefully decorrellated feature vectors as the inputs. Conceptually that is way easier to implement with intuition and know-how over blindly training an arbitrary structure to do what you want.

Ideally the training just derives non-intuitive relationships between these decorrelated input features to give you something useful.
In the true source code sense, I think it was well implied and understandable.
Only if you use Microsoft as your antivirus. Otherwise what I said is still valid.
I had a squirrel unscrew a bird feeder and dump its contents out.

Squirrels are smart. :-D
That's not how perpetual futures work. Perps settle in cash, not the underlying. You pay interest in the form of funding, which is paid every x hours. The primary risk of using perps is if the insurance fund gets wiped out due to slippage.

I too encourage bearish folks to short Tether. Otherwise, there's simply nothing else to back their claim other than their uninvested belief.
> but it's cavalier & mean to tell people they're better off that their hard work & things they've enjoyed have unceremoniously self-destructed.

It is a fact of life that everything, if it isn't destroyed, unceremoniously self-destructs.

Have you stopped to think how cavalier & mean it is to tell people how they should create things that others enjoy?
Australia had a much better plan to just make the infrastructure government owned like water pipes or power lines. Then each ISP pays the government for capacity.

And it would have worked incredibly well but during the rollout, the conservative party got in and caused the countries biggest infrastructure fuckup.
> it'd say something about using stadia.

It'd say that Google is not serious about Stadia, long-term. Which was already known when they announced it for the first time, so not a lot of loss there.

This is very likely just a bug they'll fix soon though, at least I certainly hope so for the players' sakes.
While I understand the sentiment, as someone with both an unusual music and film taste, doing what you think I should do would probably mean a lot of what I like would be lost forever, and it would be a shame.

Medianis ephemeral, but art very often not so much. If someone decided to throw the works of Bach or Beethoven away we would have truly lost something for example.

Of course not everything is art to everybody, not everything has value to everybody but there are things truely worth of preserving — and often for other reasons than we ontuitively would think.
