BSD devs tend to prioritise clean code over speed. I'm not certain of the implementation details here but their approach does make openbsd coreutils a more pleasant read than the GNU coreutils.
Their products lead to a complex "Get advice now" form. Guess I'll stick with my 'Made in Cyprus' VPS provider that lets me create and destroy VPS instances with a couple of clicks for a similar price.
I've been using a pair of Bluetooth headsets on Linux since 2018 with zero issues other than the expected ones (A2DP and slight latency). Since then I've used it on my laptop (integrated Bluetooth) and on my desktop (through USB dongles).
Whoa dude! I was just asking about this last year. Is the idea to have Squeak as the actual desktop environment?
Maybe take a look at some of the streaming versions made available by theaters. The Globe has an excellent (although expensive) streaming service.

He's old, autocratic and in power, also hugely trying to appeal to the (rural) "believers" ...so I don't think so... I think you have to be a special kind of honest when being a believer to admit you may be wrong.... and besides power is hugely corrupting, maybe a lot of the problem is patriarchy... I mean women are so beautiful they represent a danger (vulnerability ) to the hold men in general have on power...

Is there something like this where you can self host, and also combine with managed hosts for bursts? I guess the issue is most Postgres databases don’t scale down to zero.

I think DALL-E is really, really great and can definitely replace someone spending a lot of hours photoshopping ideas for (say) an ad brief even in its current form.

But I'm not seeing it as a bigger step change than the invention of the camera, the gramophone or the music sequencer, all of which made access to the arts ubiquitous rather than valueless. DALL-E is more likely to make meme and fan art really good than Pixar or even ad agencies redundant
The argument about rereading Jonson's poem is plausible, though it doesn't argue that Shakespeare was great at either language. He certainly never showed it off the way Marlowe and Kyd did. But he did use Latin in his works, at least targeting the basic schoolboy level.

The argument from Antigone is less compelling. It's just two poets using vaguely similar tropes.

I would say the argument is reason to think Jonson wasn't necessarily dissing Shakespeare's education, but Robert Greene certainly did in his "upstart crow" polemic. Shakespeare never showed great facility in either language. Jonson's praise poem is a bit ham-fisted (as were all praise poems, including Shakespeare's).
The reason for this is that the GDPR limits EU countries from deploying in countries like the USA who do not respect privacy. Due to the various US laws (Cloud Act) using infrastructure from an US-owned company is also a huge issue.

There is a huge gap in the market for an EU-owned and EU-focussed cloud provider with the main issue being that it is extremely capital intensive..

I used it to bypass some issues with D3D9 games that AMD's newer drivers had (apparently it isn't OpenGL that takes the short stick anymore, it is just that OpenGL's stick happens to be the shortest :-P). I didn't notice any performance difference.

Regardless, i've switched back to Linux ever since i could run most of my games without needing Steam and Proton (wine-staging with DXVK and VKD3D-Proton - which works on regular Wine too - seems to work perfectly fine).
Having just implemented a softmax() function for an online ML course, I think the python implementation here suffers from overflow if any of the elements of z get big(ish) - e.g. e^10000 is a big number! A spot of searching online suggests that subtracting max(z) from all entries in z makes it a lot more robust without changing the result e.g. https://www.tutorialexample.com/implement-softmax-function-w...

What I hate most about Spotify is: after meticulously adding songs to a queue, accidentally tapping a song near the end of the queue just to see the entire queue being cleared up to that song.

It’s just mind-boggling and creates some sort of anxiety during using the app.

everything an ad financed company tells them, just to have a bit of
convenience and just so that they do not have to go against any
network effect. All that, while people tell them, that they are
being spied on. All that, while there is one personal data scandal
after the other.

You are so right, I can't argue against that. It's the same psychology
and social dynamics as why people continue to smoke or use harmful
street drugs while seeing the people around them dying or getting
sick, and being told every day that it's harmful.

I tried to make as clear, and sensitively as I could in Digital Vegan
[1] why I think some digital technologies are a major public health
issue, and that we are in the same territory as with tobacco 50 years
ago.

One problem is that unlike heroin and tobacco, where the sickness of
the victims is a net burden on governments, consumer capitalism, being
a form of proxy mass-surveillance, traps governments in an uneasy "see
no evil" alliance, if not outright support for digital harms.

Another is that digital harms can be remote, deferred in time and
place, thus difficult to connect causally. As with many diseases or
pollutants we are still in the early stages of understanding the
effects of damage to privacy.

Yes, often what would happen is by the time I figured out the flags, I'd lost the creative idea of what I wanted to make a gif for. Usually I was using them as replies on Twitter, but they banned me from there and Reddit so I have less need to make GIFs.

I knew how to in Photoshop etc, before they moved to the cloud so they can be paid in perperuity even though a lot of the advanced/useful features like layers or cropping etc are in more basic tools like Preview or GIMP now.

(GIMP needs to get a macOS friendly rewrite similar to how folks did KeePassXC imho, but I'm not a strong enough coder and no large open source friendly companies seems to want to pay me a salary to direct projects like that, so all I can do is halfway troll here on HN, but it comes from a place of love.)

Just looking up their docs because I was interested in someone else's complaint.

I noticed they have a very extensive set of options for this:

> For example, if “Translate artist names” is enabled with the locale set to “English”, and you enable “Ignore artist name translation” with the scripts set to “Greek (30%)” and “Cyrillic (50%)”, any artist names that contain 30% Greek characters or 50% Cyrillic characters will not be translated and will appear in their origin form.

Lidl is known to expand quickly, if they succeed they should do a co-op with hetzner or OVH both very well known for rapid expansion of data centers with a very high efficiency and low costs. (Yes, both made their mistakes, but they built and learned their lesson in-house hence aquired deep domain knowledge in contrast of typical players which just rent or outsource)
I do not understand the purpose of AWS style cloud platforms. What's wrong with Hetzner or Contabo? What is the advantage of paying 270€ per month for a 60GB RAM instance with 8 cores if you can get the same instance on Contabo for 27€?

It really feels like these cloud platforms are following the Microtransaction model of mobile games.

Honestly, blame humans. If our species wasn't susceptible to changing our behavior due to these seemingly-inconsequential changes, A/B testing would return to a more sane baseline; however, these "silly" changes (when statistically proven to be effective long-term) can lead to 8 figure shifts in megacorp revenue so they will continue to be made.
I think one reads this as a symptom of academic history - if you are an historian of a thoroughly studied period or aspect of history, then the only things you have to offer, as an academic, are either tuckpointing an established narrative wall with new tidbits of fact or interpretation, or trying to push the narrative wall over so you can tell a different story. The first won't get you much attention, so the second become highly appealing - doubly so, if you can attach your effort to a highly popular narrative, or, as in this case, word or phrase.

In other words, he needed top publish something, and saying "what you think you know about the word "viking" is all wrong," makes a good headline for what is otherwise an absolutely ordinary review of well known history.
It's literally only a problem because the US laws allow the US government to force MS / Google / Amazon to hand over all data stored by German companies on data residing in German datacenters located inside Germany, if an American company is running them.

That's fantastic! Although personally, while I get a chuckle out of reading that excerpt, I can't actually understand the point of view I'm intended to chuckle at.

I don't want my life's work, or anyone else's, to be engaged in a struggle to change mucky 'institutions and opinions.' Eww! Gross! Honorable, necessary, maybe. (But only 'maybe', I wouldn't assume it about those who claim to be engaged in such a struggle). It's not completely implausible that realpolitik can be creatively fulfilling, worthwhile, and life's calling. But I'd chalk that up to humans being able to imbue even the worst situations with meaning, rather than it being particularly attractive as a life's work.

If I think of that question:

Suppose [...] that all the changes in institutions
and opinions which you are looking forward to,
could be completely effected at this very instant:
would this be a great joy and happiness to you?

I'd answer 'yes', and I think a lot of HN readers would too (aside from "Monkey's Paw"-style unintended consequences). I wish we had a safe, abundant world for everyone, where all respected each others' rights -- so we could get on with the best parts of human life.

The best parts of human life are limitless, so the Mills' thought experiment can't touch them: creating, and sharing.

Creation is limitless, and there is no end-game, nor can there be. The question falls apart immediately: "imagine that everything that should be created has been created." It would be nonsensical -- whether in a cave, in the present day, in a 1950's sci-fi future or some (implausibly) transcendent Singularity, there are always things that you don't know, and thus new things you can do with the new knowledge once you acquire it. And thus there will always be new things you can experience and share with others.

Edit: and as a note about EA specifically, so as not to derail one of my favorite recent HN comment sections.

I'm a fan personally, and my experience is that 'expat' living is a good way to help accomplish it, without any particular misery traps (10 years out of the past 18).

Specifically, I align with the 'Our World In Data' take, about how inequality globally is so much more than within rich countries -- so any 'sticky' ways of funneling your money into poorer countries is good, and you don't even need to worry too much about getting scammed, as long as the scammer legitimately lives and spends in a poorer community.

And then if you're actually living in that poorer country, while working in a richer one, you're 'funneling money' there, by and large not competing with the locals (except in things in which there is already effectively global competition, like, say, oceanfront property/rentals). And you can also develop excellent 'local knowledge' in order to give more targeted help, which is rewarding -- but that kind of 'give a kidney' stuff isn't scalable, where remote work is.
Of course this is entirely subjective, but do you think you prefer it because Maplestory’s art is better, or because you like the game so much due to playing it during a formative time in your life (ex. high school)? Perhaps it even helped define your aesthetic sense in the first place.
Yes. They purposesfully pushed bullshit like zero rating as they violently extorted and cajoled folks like myself out of DC and Sacramento, then nearly urinate on themselves when they wake up to a newsfeed full of mass shootings and wildfires because their libertarian dreams came true, and folks responded: "I'm not your caregiver, I'm not a cop, and I have the savings to wait while you think about what you've done."
Normally yes, but maybe not so late after submission. Moderators can update it.
I switched from Spotify to AM and I still wouldn’t switch back.

There’s some weird bugs for sure and the lack of switching between devices is annoying. Sometimes I’ll accidentally leave it running in my laptop and then when I’m on my phone it keeps interrupting for some reason.

Their shuffle actually shuffles, it’s not just the same 20 songs.

Artist matching is weird though. Frequently I’ll have an artist that songs attributed to them that are from a different artist with the same name. You could now check the electronic artist Danger (songs like 11:02) and see some weird new Russian rap song attributed to him as a “Single”. It’s not his song but it ends up in my NEW MUSIC MIX. I had it with artists like SIERRA and ALEX too. Incredibly annoying.
Shit, now I don't know if I'm an AI.

FYI: This serverless in term of "if someone runs a large cluster for the customers", not the serverless you can run on existing serverless infrastructure like AWS Lambda.

It seems this is backed by a company https://neon.tech/ so we in theory have that someone who runs the cluster. So this is probably more aligned with the services like planetscale or cockroach lab.
My results from discovering new artists have been far superior on community oriented places vs spotify or any streaming service. Algos just suck at this.
> Telegram to temporarily refuse data requests from Hong Kong courts amid security law

The headline you linked makes it clear it was temporary. Which mean they do of course cooperate in normal situation. Otherwise they would be blocked everywhere, you cannot maintain a service such as a chat application without cooperating with governments.

There is no story here, Telegram shared information with BKA in cases of terrorism and child abuse, as every service operating in Germany would and should do.

> I remember the solid research showing people taking multivitamins die faster

Do you think that could possibly be because people who are more sickly are more likely to try taking vitamins, as a curative? So it isn’t the vitamins killing them, but the disease making them take vitamins? Of course, I’d have to see the actual study you are referencing to see if they discussed causality.
I think that's a distinction that can make sense and I agree that the definition of the word has been a bit diluted. You obviously don't get disappeared in the NL.

But I don't get your last point. If it was illegal to protest/criticize the Supreme court, and someone did, wouldn't that be straight law infringement too? I don't think they are mutually exclusive.

Insulting an institution, especially that of the Crown, is a form of protest and can be a way to express an unorthodox idea or a rejection of the system.

It's akin to going to jail for insulting Trump, Biden or Bush because you insulted the American presidency. To me that's just unsettling.

Because BSDs don't use the GNU userland?

As to why they don't use similar techniques, probably because they historically didn't really care enough about the performances of yes(1) to bother with it.

FreeBSD has since added output buffering to yes(1), you can see the difference between openbsd yes(1)[0] which remains utterly naïve and freebsd yes(1)[1] which uses an 8k internal buffer.

> Is there any reason why we expect different groups to perform equally?

Becuase I do not believe an Indian's caste affects their inherent ability to perform IT work. If you do believe that to be true, of course you should expect a difference even in a perfectly fair society.

> Can't some groups perform worse than others by random chance?

This is extremely unlikely once you get to higher sample sizes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_large_numbers

> Are there really no other factors besides discrimination that could cause this?

Well of course there are. For example, if one group is more educated than the other they're going to perform better.

I made it sound as easy as "just see if the numbers don't match up", but in real life the statisticians that do these kinds of analysis account for other factors that could impact performance, so that if there is a difference it's purely "because" of the caste.

Firefox used to have bypass functionality but I don't think it has it anymore since the TLS error pages were redesigned.
Wow, I thought you were joking, but you really weren't.

From the homepage it took me 7 clicks to drill-down into information about a specific compute service and see pricing, and it leads to their generic contact form page: https://www.stackit.de/en/contact

They're really missing that these big digital movements / transformations typically start out as a single person investigating / fiddling around with the service on some trial account or with a $10 provisioning spend as part of a few hours long Jira ticket on a Friday afternoon.

By inserting humans in the middle of this process (and the delay and back-and-forth which is incurred from having to formally give all that company information and implementation planning information and have it vetted) they're going to turn off a really significant number of potentially lucrative clients who will go elsewhere because they don't have to mess around with humans until they're sure of what they want.
I think it's appropriate to start with a set of limited customers and intensive communication to expand and stabilize the offering. Amazon and others usually limit new features to specific customers, too. Once it's stable and working, they make it available to more customers.

Let's see what happens in 6-12 months.
making a site documenting the journey is on the list. i have taken a lot of pictures and some video.
If your concern is kernel attack surface then I have bad news for you. Inside the container's network namespace it's still using standard syscalls. Only on the host side it takes a detour through userspace. So you get all the downsides, none of the native performance and very few upsides.
It only benefits firewalls that still assume a machine has a single network interface without bridging/natting/forwarding.
Scalability and in code provisioning
Interesting, checked out API7, for your cloud, why not make the Data Plane hosted on your cloud too instead of deploying to customers cloue. I understand the complications since I've worked on it, so may be a strategic choice, but I think that's where you'll get the lowest cost (multi tenant), scaling, and lowest ops for the customer.

AWS is huge. The entire Lidl group made €57bn last year. Just AWS made about $62bn, so pretty much the same thing. And AWS is growing about 30% per year.

More than that, AWS is just one piece of the pie. Azure supposedly made about $38bn last year, also growing by about 30% per year.

Alibaba and GCP both made about $10bn and they're both growing at about the same pace as Azure and AWS.

And I didn't even include IBM or Oracle.

How much is Lidl actually investing in this? A few billions, at most?

I'd love to be proven wrong and I definitely think Europe needs at least a few top notch cloud providers, but it's going to be an uphill battle.
