Even with the rebate, how can they hope to recoup the investment? Merch? DVD Sales? Increasing sign ups to Prime? I have a doubt the profits from that will help them earn money to cover up the remaining 300 million or so they have still invested.

And the "internet" really reacted negatively to the trailer as well.
(I personally didn't hate the trailer myself but after having watched the original trilogy and the first Hobbit movie, I was feeling a bit underwhelmed cause it didn't do a good job selling the show to me.) So it really remains to be seen whether it will be a hit when it does to go to streaming.
But even virtualized Cobol should fit in a few racks.
True, it wouldn't be as straightforward as HTTP, as there would need to be new semantics (e.g. a handshake protocol for locally-cached IP allowlists or similar), but I guess my general point here is that the gp cited a large list of vectors that are all essentially the same problem & could be tackled with a single targetted (very conceivable) solution.

Any new such solution would of course come with its own incorrect-implementation dangers - increased attack surface is increased attack surface. The sibling commenter rightfully points out these are still a potential issue with HTTP (servers not checking Host). But spec-wise a solution is still very doable.

> Apple CPU Gains Grind To A Halt

Apple is playing a different game than it's competitors. They aren't looking to make performance gains no matter what happens to power draw and waste heat by endlessly cranking up the clocks.

The Anandtech deep dive into the cores used in the A15 and M2 show that Apple didn't just increase performance by about 18%, they cut power while increasing performance.

>Apple A15 performance cores are extremely impressive here – usually increases in performance always come with some sort of deficit in efficiency, or at least flat efficiency. Apple here instead has managed to reduce power whilst increasing performance, meaning energy efficiency is improved by 17% on the peak performance states versus the A14.

In our initial coverage of Apple’s announcement, we theorised that the company might possibly invested into energy efficiency rather than performance increases this year, and I’m glad to see that seemingly this is exactly what has happened, explaining some of the more conservative (at least for Apple) performance improvements.

https://www.anandtech.com/show/16983/the-apple-a15-soc-perfo...

Apple isn't winning at the game of performance increases no matter what happens to heat and power draw, because that isn't the metric they care about.

They care about performance per watt.

That's how dropping the M2 into the same entry level Macbook Pro they sold last year doesn't just bump up performance, it also gains you a couple more hours of battery life.

This is one of those things that is always easy to tell others to do on the Internet for self benefit. Post one sentence and guilt trip others into behaving better while not having to change oneself at all. Bravo.

I always wonder if such people who write these comments would themselves commit to a verifiable improvement of their own behaviour in public according to to the norms of others.
I'd love to see it :)
I think you are absolutely right, however when they do reverse the decision they will publish a great article about how bringing their datacentres in-house is going to save them $800m a year and a bunch of execs will grant themselves a bigger bonus for saving the company so much money. It's a win-win!
I would solve money problem to not stress too much. Maybe try more social job/gig if you are burned by tech.
Also to alievate stress I recommend trying "square breath" exercise. Reading less bullshit also helps to quiet mind.

I don't know what kind of pain you are experiencing but just as a litmus test I would try to go trough easier yoga positions to check out where your body has deficits and visit a good sport physioterapist. I also got very good set of exercises from personal trainer that unblocked full mobility in my body and mobily has a lot of downstream effects. One of my best money spent IMO, just after surgery that got rid of nasty medical condition (in gut). After this relaxing morning yoga wins and is free.

How does the pain stops you from working? Can't focus? Stressing too much? Can't move? I had kinda chronic pain(lighter one) pre surgery and only thing was that I was tired all the time and depressed but I could work kinda fine but my stress management was bad (as any stressor got amplified by pain).

From health perspective I would check spine > gut > fascia/tendons/joints/muscles in this order. You can also get common hormones/markers checked to see if everything is all right.

I can also recommend sauna, massage or floating for relaxation of musles and mind. Maybe some of these will help you.
10% of expensive debt built over a short period of time is pretty massive.

It’s, however, not the sole, or even one of the larger causes of Sri Lanka’s current issues.

That being said, if the same money was raised from the IMF, the IMF would work with Sri Lanka to help resolve their issues much better than what China does. And it would probably have prevented the govt from taking some
Of the worst actions they took that did contribute to the problems Sri Lanka is facing by threatening to withold money during future funding rounds.

The reason a lot of authoritarian and corrupt governments have been opting for Chinese debt is because it comes with no strings attached. It’s expensive, and China is happy as long as they are paid (plus their companies and workers get work), and if they’re not paid they’re happy taking over whatever property the loan was secured with.

The IMF, OTOH, works with countries to instill better discipline, and while there are justifiable criticisms about it, it’s way overblown, because this is usually the alternative.
> Devil’s advocate here. What could go wrong?

Could be used for a scam, by a stalker, for social engineering, or several other evil ploys. Today, there are so many possible bad actions which are happening... On average, they are unlikely, but not impossible. And who knows about the long run.

> If you open a website in a fresh browser context and let it use your camera, isn’t this about the same as walking down a street with CCTV cameras?

In my country, there are harsh regulations on public cameras. Private people are not even allowed to capture you outside from being in the background.
Theoretically cloud providers should be able to provide both the infrastructure and managed services much cheaper (due to economies of scale) than a single company running their own.

The question is how much of the savings end up in whose pockets, or whether the price at which they actually sell exceeds the TCO of running it yourself.

Outsourcing at least the commodity part (dumb hardware) seems reasonable, and migrating to a competitor doesn't seem like too bad of a BANTA if you aren't locked in.
I've played hackthebox intensely for one month. A lot of fun, but it takes a lot of time to crack your first insane box. If people want university level courses in this, I recommend them to study at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and take courses with the VUSEC group. The VUSEC group gave me the skills to immediately attempt an insane box and hack it (it did take a good 80 hours though :P).

Also, if there's any pentesting/reverse engineering company reading this I'm interested in doing an attacking related position. My skills are a bit rusty as a hacker (currently working as a software engineer), but then again I did hack an insane box while having rusty skills. So it might be worth something?

For an upcoming trip to NYC, I was trying to map some NYC walks and highlights using Google Maps, but I stumbled into a lot of limitations (limit on number of layers, limits of number of legs of an itinerary, ect.).

I was able to import all my existing NYC geo-points into Felt and quickly chart some itineraries from different sources. Way, way faster than Google Map.

Let's see how fast it will render once I'm on the ground in the city with mobile interent.

One major difference with Google Map is the lack of custom layers, but so far it hasn't been a problem.

This is my NYC 2022 trip map :) https://felt.com/map/New-York-2022-u7J1aE2ZSLOmdwCP4WGCOA
It's true, of course, that every company is deeply reliant on its web of suppliers and customers, and it is common for a company to have a single supplier or customer that has enormous power over it. But I think you may not appreciate the impact of that situation.

FedEx might have a viable alternative to Boeing for repair parts, but not for planes, and more broadly I think you could make that argument about US airlines in general in the late 20th century: despite things like the MD-80 (before the merger) they really had no alternative to Boeing. It is perhaps not a coincidence that the net profits of US airlines in the late 20th century were almost exactly zero, while Boeing was and is one of the most profitable companies in the world. So far Boeing isn't squeezing FedEx that way, but not because it can't.

(I do note, though, that FedEx owns its own jets rather than renting them.)

But I think there's a different sense in which informatics are more core to FedEx than even flying. FedEx is a corporation, which in its essence is a set of business processes: relationships, practices, and information; unlike a 19th-century railroad, its physical assets like airplanes are relatively expendable by comparison. Historically, those processes happened mostly in people's heads, especially the heads of its managers, but today the vast majority of FedEx's business processes are automated, which means they happen in FedEx's data centers.

And whether those automated business processes happen at all, and how well they happen, is a matter of competence in informatics. Dan Luu argues convincingly that Twitter's kernel team has been key to their ability to execute in https://danluu.com/in-house/; FedEx needs not only data centers but a kernel team and a convex optimization algorithms team.

It's extremely common for companies that are deeply dependent on a single supplier or customer to end up either merged into that other company or bankrupted by the situation.

As for the country, when I set it up I'll be needing yeomanry regiments. You in?
Right, I think this is world’s tallest website, not world’s highest

I know it's a hard argument to make, but what I mean is that if there were fewer gyms that would be a more developed culture of 5-minute exercises at home.

Sure, people can go to youtube and learn. Nobody is stopping them but at the same time nobody in their circle of friends is encouraging this.

Many people need to be convinced by example, and I actually see a lot of friends that would be in better shape if there were advice floating around in casual conversations on how to keep fit within a full schedule.

Gym culture has taken up the bulk of the public discourse space on keeping fit, and it's led to a polarized population.

Probably all of the above plus it's a long term move.

Amazon needs to build up a strong catalog and marquee TV shows are long term attractions. As an example, Mad Men, especially because it's set in the 1960s will probably still be watched in the 2060s. Game of Thrones would have been the exact thing but D&D completely tore it apart in the last 2 seasons.
There's a huge difference between mobile and desktop chips. They have very different constraints. As I said, I'm not in the "apple have changed the world camp" but they have managed to bring high end desktop performance at laptop level power usage, that also sustains output.

I think this is one side of an argument. It's valid, and it needs to be heeded, but still incomplete.

Cloud setups are useful, as are many ways of their associated architecture/infrastructure elements. Saying no to these is problematic too.

It is true that cloud computing has become a monopolistic, categorically non-neutral sector. They'll have you over a barrell.

So, dilemmas. Difficult strategic choices.
Sorry, I don't think I explained myself well. Generally when you see a lot of package* noise, it's because you've upgraded your dependencies, added one and made a feature change all at once. The main thing that needs to be separated is the upgrading part.
Very true. I have been helping others with the philosophy of managing, linking, and thinking in their own ways instead of always hoping that a tool being the solution. Once you are clear with the general idea of how things are, any appropriate tool should be enough or good enough that you are not lost when the tool is taken away.

For instance, I have been sent many a Mindmaps for the sake of the name exported from tools but just branches of terms which would have been better off as a list.

Recently, I have been teaching my daughter the idea and the art of taking notes. She is allowed to use any tools she like to try out. I have so far told her about Obsidian, VSCode, and Sublime Text. Of course, Apple Notes is there too.
So now standard C++17 or modern Fortran is like writing Assembly by hand?
> The comparison you meant

No that’s not what I wrote.

You don’t buy a jet outright and forget about the supplier - you’re eternally reliant on their service, certification, parts, etc, as regulation is so high.
There’s apparently a custom HACS integration [0], discussed in their forums [1]. Personally I’d get the cheaper Aqara sensors as I have a Zigbee network anyway, so I see no advantage in BLE. Also, the motion sensor (of the tag, not of other people) seems like a really useless feature.

I’m not so sure the LOTR series is ideal for expansion.

It feels like Peter Jackson has already tackled all the really interesting parts of the LOTR world.
I do hear reasonable complaints here and there, such as the overuse of "checkout", but the majority of complaints I hear from new users fall into one of two categories. The first is complaining that git doesn't enforce a server/client model. The second is that git doesn't enforce a linear history. Both of these seem incredibly odd to me, as they are complaints about git accurately representing the development process.
It isn't though? It's just another emoticon, like : ) or :D

owo is an expression of suprise.
o's represent the eyes, w the nose. Nothing nsfw/sexual about it at all.
Not useless at all, there are usually enough pictures of people on the internet with names, metadata, etc attached to immediately link and identify. Basically what Clearview does (did?). I would not be surprised if this was a data collection siphon.
> RAD Basic may offer compatibility too

It's an interesting question. It looks like TwinBASIC embraces the OLE/COM/ActiveX model as its native model. VARIANTS and BSTRs. This means advanced patterns like ObjPtr and StrPtr can work, assuming other compatibility is high.

I'm unsure about RAD Basic here, but a contentious thread of VBForums suggests it differs here.

Now, arguably ObjPtr and StrPtr aren't part of the semantics of VB6. Nonetheless, if you want compatibility with some real world code, it needs to work.

(I too have no connection with twinBASIC, except I'm a VB6 fan who is technologically impressed by it.)
Then find that someone and deal with them.
Do you buy by the watt though?

That is certainly the case for the vast majority of roundabouts. But there are also a number of roundabouts which have a large diameter, limited visibility and a continuous flow of fast-moving traffic and you’d be sitting there forever if you couldn’t nip into a small gap. I’ve noticed this in particular while in Kent in the south-east.

(I’ve driven across a decent amount of the UK, from Heathrow to Durham, Edinburgh, King’s Lynn, Greater London and Folkestone. I have an extended array of in-laws in Consett, Snettisham, Isle of Man, and elsewhere.)

Tolkien created a lot of content, an entire fantasy universe. With good storytelling there's a lot more to tell.

If Star Wars, which let's be frank here, is a 2 bit creation compared to Tolkien's works, managed to become a multi billion dollar franchise, then the LotR world should be able to do the same, if it's managed wisely.
Probably some combination of inertia, future-proofing, and because it might facilitate some sort of internal bookkeeping inside the OS and/or the app store. After all there are quite a few more of those permissions around that have to be declared, but which are automatically granted and not specially surfaced within the UI.

It could use that to impersonate you in a mobile banking application through biometric authentication. It's getting pretty popular in my country (I think it's required by law or something).
It does make prototyping more annoying but on the other hand it's nice, when reading code, to know that all variables have a reason to be there / aren't "non sequitur"s. It also catches bugs occasionally.

Making it an optional flag has the issue of making it easier to just say "just compile this always with --allow-unused-vars" instead of cleaning up the code. We kinda see that happening with warnings in C/C++.

That said, I too think we should investigate if there's a reasonable middle ground that could be found.
In the TV series 'Escape to the Country', every episode it seems one of the houses is a converted pub.

At the same time, each couple wants to live in a village with a pub. A romantic notion I'm sure, but it seems to signal that some folks at least still value them.
But they are not? They are expressing their opinion on a type of movie. Why is that 'denigration'?
There is a rather unfortunate lack of such tools today, which is very annoying. GUIs are visual so creating and editing them visually should be the no-brainer "right way" to do it, but instead programmers have abandoned it and embraced gigantic slow overcomplicated webshit for GUIs.

If you have a visual WYSIWYG designer and, importantly, aren't stubbornly intent on reinventing the wheel, then GUI isn't actually that hard.

Make it use Hg's CLI.

Mercurial and Git have, for most purposes, functionally identical capabilities. Atlassian at one point allowed you to checkout a project as either a git or a mercurial repo painlessly.

Mercurial's porcelain makes sense: the command is exactly what you think it is, usually without any funky modifying flags. If there are flags, they're often obvious, and if they're not, hg help <command> will clear that right up.

Contrast to git, which is a mishmash of commands and esoteric flags, and the help isn't even inlined.

The underlying concepts are easy enough, but how you access them requires memorization of arbitrary command sets that are inconsistent and overloaded.

Fix the porcelain and IMO you fix most of the problems with Git.
