We have a couple production websites on Heroku. One is a decade-old Rails app and the other is a Rails backend for a ~3-year-old site whose frontend is hosted on Vercel.

The decade-old app is still running great. We make extensive use of the Heroku CLI and some of the addons for databases and logging. The newer one isn't so heavily integrated into Heroku's features aside from the database. It was set up by a senior dev who's given largely free rein over his projects, but otherwise the company switched to DigitalOcean for new projects several years ago.

So my job is ~75% working with DO droplets and ~25% Heroku dynos. I didn't care either way, really, because at the end of the day my priority is the actual program. But the recent blowup with Heroku's GitHub integration was really painful, especially for our old app whose deployment process was deeply integrated with our GitHub repo. Once the outage had dragged out for a couple weeks, I started advocating to my lead for a move to DigitalOcean. The only reason we haven't done it yet is that we're a consultancy so we'd need to sell our very non-technical customer on a migration.

My points are 1) I think a lot of Heroku's business in 2022 comes from large, old projects that, for various reasons, are complicated to move elsewhere, and 2) Heroku is pretty much fine for those projects, aside from the recent issues that were thankfully resolved.
I don't agree with this using a dedicated single-purpose IoT device. Who wants ever more shit on their network? Just send an alert to existing emergency alert systems. My phone is already able to tell me when old people go missing or a child is kidnapped, so the infrastructure seems to be in place already to do this.
Heh, I think a barely different glyph introduces more ambiguity than it solves. On my screen it’s effectively the same glyph but now with “oh, well it’s actually different.”
There was a TV show on the TLC channel that covered people like this in the US.

a lot of 0 star reviews tho :(
To start, I've written about what would happen in event of a violent revolution in the US. Mind you, I'm not advocating for it--completely the opposite, because the answer is: it would be fucking terrible and there's a very high chance of the bad guys (fascist "populists") taking it over, even if it started on the left (which is itself improbable, because almost all the violent assholes are right-wing racists). One company, which did about 20% clearance-required work, rescinded an offer at 7:57 on the fucking morning I was about to start because "we don't see you getting a security clearance", even though I had a crack clearance attorney review my case and say that I was clearable.

I also exposed some illegal/unethical hiring and fundraising practices, and made enemies of some high-profile VCs. I don't talk to the press these days (don't trust 'em) but my reputation in the startup world is ruined. I'm enough of a whistleblower that my name will have negative value in Silicon Valley for the rest of my life (which is fine, because fuck Silicon Valley).

It probably doesn't hurt at this point, but certainly doesn't help, that I have PTSD and, in the past--say, 10 years ago--I was not as good at controlling it, recognizing when I was sufficiently impaired to need to pull back from the internet, and doing so.
My experience isn't "exaggerated", it's the truth, so I'm not sure why you're attempting to diminish it with that language.

The conclusion that I am drawing is not that "accusations of microaggressions are invalid because of my experience", it's "I now know that people will deliberately falsely accuse someone, because I've personally witnessed it." Previously, I was inclined to believe accusations. Now, I withhold judgement. There's nothing quite like first hand experience to show what some people can do.
What's the concern here? You could containerize your scripts, each in a separate Docker container.
It's getting to the point of absurdity how much v8 is inserting itself all sorts of places it has no right being. Especially as the rate of computers getting faster decreases we should be working to burn less CPU to get what we want done, rather than wasting almost all of it on running a complete web browser just to run our software. It's ridiculous.

It's sad to see cloudflare falling so low. I guess they're heading toward their ultimate destination that is the result of all companies that go public.

We've had demo reactors with various issues, none of which demonstrated they could compete even with burner reactors.

I remind you the double standard involved criticizing renewables "at scale", so a few problematic breeder reactors won't dispel the hypocrisy.
Not the same thing but ... In my experience, most browser developers (who write C++) don't know web development. In fact most of them disdane it, or at least that's how it feels. I find it kind of sad though I also understand it as I had the same attitude for the first 2~3 of years.

I’m not sure I would hire anyone pseudonymously except for work that could be done on, say, Upwork or MechTurk (small assignments that don’t require sensitive access).

I would look at the US CISA guidance[1] on North Korean hacker MOs and consider the possibility that the person you hire might be using the opportunity to drain your company of finances, IP, or to sabotage your infrastructure. They may not work for North Korea, but consider the possibility they might abuse your trust in a similar way.

This doesn't seem rational. Since the federal bad on assault rifles expired, the USA has done nothing to control guns in any form. There won't be any gun control at all. But people buy more guns every time there's a shooting in the news. Why?
I'll take this seriously when proponents of nuclear energy are happy to invest in the absence of something like the Price-Anderson Nuclear Industries Indemnity Act (TL;DR - the act socialises any costs above $15B for insurable events). Until then, any discussion of costs is apples to oranges.

As someone who uses Rust as my main language, part of the appeal of Rust+yew is “no webpack”. Rust’s build system isn’t necessarily less complex, but it doesn’t drive me batty the way JS compilation does.
1) Why can't they send a push notification to my phone?

2) How do they get Alexa to play a song? AFAIK Alexa can't do anything unless you trigger it by a voice command.
15 years ago was a different animal because the money largely stayed in the banking sector, as excess reserves. This time, a substantial portion of it was deposited directly into consumer's accounts (stimulus checks) - and that money makes it's way into the real economy, pushing prices up.
What if Ukraine doesn't win?

What if Putin gets away with mass murder again, like he did in Chechnya?

What if Putin is able to kill Zelensky like he assasinated so many other people in other countries?

Take a look at his justification for all of this violence. There's no limiting factor to the excuses he makes for it. It could apply just as well to the Baltic states, Poland, etc.
But that would create a mass panic, while this device lets the owner quietly proceed to their private shelter without alerting the neighbors.

They’re cheap. One of the reasons the Russians use so much conventional artillery is that it’s cheaper than missiles or air strikes.
I haven't delved into it too deep.

Some things are embarrassingly parallel, like additive synthesis. Some things can be made quite parallel like convolution. But a lot of stuff is not.

The distinction I think that needs to be made between GPUs for graphics vs audio is that all GPU algorithms are built on the assumption that there exists a reasonable compute pipeline that every kind of processing can use or exploit. That is not true for audio processing (your compute kernels for convolution and IIR filtering are completely different, for example, even static IIRs and IIRs that undergo real time modulation have very different topologies).

The thing I don't yet know about GPU Audio (the company) is how they deal with routing and process chains. Sub millisecond latency is fine, but if you have two dozen plugins in a chain (or god help you, a real DAG) then how do they handle the delay compensated I/O without adding extra latency for each sequential edge in the graph without the host being aware?

It's not big things that hurt latency, it's more a death by a thousand cuts in practice.
This is pretty obvious to everyone that you can photograph and publish something private and it no longer is private.

This fact has absolutely nothing at all to say about the question raised about how do we know whatsapp encryption is still e2e and trustworthy.

They're among my favorite movies. Hilary Harris's short films, in particular "Organism", were an inspiration.

> being "antifascist" could mean anything from protesting against the KKK, to actively working to bring down the capitalist world order (which happens to be the framework in which most companies have to operate.)

I'd say I'm between the two.

I'm a radical by US false-consciousness standards, but a moderate by sane-people standards. I do want to bring down the capitalist world order, but I'm not going to behave unethically, break laws blithely, or fuck over an employer who treats me well in service to that goal.

In general, I'm against violence unless absolutely nothing else will work (and I don't think we're at that point yet, although we may get there). Violent revolutions tend to see a transfer of control from the originial vanguard (who were willing to use violence to achieve a goal, but who didn't seek out the opportunity to use it) to mindless thugs who just want to be paid to hurt people.
I don't think anyone would seriously argue that behavior doesn't impact outcome. It's easy to think of tons of extreme obvious examples to show that.

The hard part is deciding how behavior impacts outcomes, how much, which behaviors are good or bad or irrelevant, and why. If there were easy answers to those questions we'd be living in a utopia already.
So what if it's used for chemical processes? To make it efficient, there is careful transfer of heat from the input stream to the outgoing streams, with compression/expansion to convert the heat energy back to work. Making this efficient involves just the kinds of components that are needed in a cryogenic energy store.

Looks like it's only a matter of time until others pick it up.
> What I'm getting at is maybe we need to teach people how to grow thicker skin?

Do you mean "thicker skin" as in teaching people to be more tolerant of casual bigotry, or teaching people to be more open to learning that there's a cultural subtext to the words they aren't aware of? Because I've seen a whole bunch of people get unreasonably upset, dare I say offended, that they unintentionally offended somebody.
MATSim or ActivitySim are used for that sort of thing. Most modellers don't bother to simulate every individual person though. Instead they use a sample which they scale up because it isn't worth the order of magnitude more computing time when just simulating a representative 10% does fine.
Imagine doing surgery on a pile of wet tissue paper is how I’ve heard retinal surgery described. I’m no expert, but I’d bet it’s even more challenging than most brain surgeries.

If I'm not mistaken Stanislavksy once said something like: "the worst thing for an actor is to want to be liked by the audience...".

I have mitigations disabled on my laptop. I mainly work offline and only run trusted code. I also use noscript and only enable javascript on trusted sites. I also use auto tab suspend to stop javascript from running if I am not using the tab.

Realistically, there is very little threat to turning off the mitigations with enough precautions in place. Obviously not recommended on a vps or other shared servers etc.

What I'm doing is comparing the literal with the figurative, as that is how the figurative comes to be. It's not seismic, your passport will change colour and some immigration rules changed. You, as someone living in Europe will have a more bothersome time than before but you're still there, right?

What you are experiencing is nothing compared to what non-EU citizens (who are largely non-white) had to go through when coming to the UK - why were we favouring Romanians and Hungarians over Indians and Singaporians? I've no idea.

Still, it was a change in a trade pact.

Hours? I need only a few minutes to find a paper bag to put over my head and lay down.

On a more serious note, I would not mind having a device that could tell me hours in advance of a large gamma ray burst if that were even possible. If one can get into deep enough of a tunnel there is a small chance of survival. I am not sure what I would do afterwards short of becoming a gatherer. Hunting would be over.

Yep makes sense. My point was that the developers matter more than the language. However you are absolutely right that good developers with a better language will do better.
I think it's hard to adopt a purely empirical perspective on social issues like this, because basically everyone experiences the social world through non-statistically-random groups of friends and coworkers. It would be like trying to discuss management or dating using only population level statistics. (If you're familiar with feminist theory, you may recognize this as the idea of "lived experience".)
There may be a public repo of known addresses. Of course it would be centralized and carefully curated, but I think that would be a good start.

I wish wallets made it easier to create a burner throw away account or there were some trusted contracts that would create an account, do something and then transfer back to another account. I don't know if anything like that exists or even if the workflow is generalizable enough

The truly rich scooped up a bunch of cash and cash equivalents while interest rates were low. Now that there's going to be a price crash in places like housing, they will be scooping up assets like mad while Main St. suffers. People were complaining about how many houses BlackRock was buying, just wait till the crash.

This kind of thing really bothers me, and the more I learn about economics the more I understand why public school economics classes are so poor. If people understood this stuff there'd be a revolution.

I think Warren Buffet once said something to the effect of if the average citizen understood how the federal reserve worked there'd be a revolution overnight. I'm sure I got the person or details of the quote wrong, but I'm too lazy to look it up. Regardless, the sentiment stands.
This is very true. Also animes/idols may contribute men not to be eager for dating real woman
I've been listening to the audiobook of the Silmarillion while on a run or doing chores. At first I thought "this has to be the worst idea" since I found myself going back constantly and re-listening to bits to find out who was being referenced in some long description or I'd lose track of what happened entirely.

However, I've since decided that this must be the best way to enjoy all the little detail. Each re-listen I've understood more and more. It's a strange way to enjoy the work but I honestly think the creation myth at the beginning is really well written and had I just read the book I may have read it the once, retained some of it, referred back to it maybe, and moved on to the rest of the tale.

Slow going but commenting just because you may enjoy this too if you've made it to this thread. I haven't read the rest of the books since I was a kid so priming myself thoroughly for the re-read with Silmarillion first seems like it's going to have a nice payoff as rich as the world is.

No one uses snap but Ubuntu.

Flatpak fits the same niche, but better.
"In kernel with apparmor or SELinux" can't possibly provide sufficient workload isolation, because it implies workloads share a kernel. It's easy to rattle off relatively recent kernel LPEs that no mandatory access control configuration would have prevented.

The Linux kernel simply wasn't designed to provide the kind of isolation "naive" containers want them to. Actually, generalize that out: Unix kernels in general weren't designed this way. It just doesn't work.

I wish I could upvote this more than once :) The unsung heroes out there are the developers who takes over a garbage dump of a system and turn it around. That is way harder than writing a system from scratch.
We are using AWS Aurora (non serverless) and getting crushed by IOPS charges. We do very little caching in our app, which makes the architecture simple, but the downside is we end up relying on DB-level caching implicitly. And so when the DB instance has enough memory, IOPS are modest. But once we outgrown it, we have to scale compute up just to get more RAM or else we get destroyed on IOPS.

Seems like from a cost standpoint Neon does a good job of avoiding EBS entirely and thus this particular problem would be sidestepped. Is that right?

1) look up videos of "watercolor paper stretching" on youtube, and clamp the paper down if you can (I'll tape all way around a sheet to make a nice border anyways).

2) alternately use watercolor paper blocks (which have adhesive on all sides of the sheet, which minimizes curling)

3) get heavier paper (thicker), use less water, and don't let water pool anywhere.
