In my experience, people's feelings towards menthols has been strongly correlated to caste -- rich white people seem to hate them with a passion. This might have something to do with who they were marketed to.
> I don’t see how a computer racer that destroys human competition would make the game more entertaining, I guess there’s work to do there to not make the AI reliably pull of highly risky moves.

Well, if we left things to non-Human racing we'd soon realize we're severally out matched with enough data and an unlimited engineering budget: Adrian Newey's X2014 launched on GT 6 and was the first example of this [0]. I'm not sure if it's just about destroying the competition making people lose interest, or more like breaking the 9 minute mark at the Nordschleife and seeing that it can be done and raising the bar.

I guess I can see there being some novelty in that, but I'd get tired of it personally since I've suspected and always kind of knew this time would eventually come.

I'm convinced at this point we can build a Formula E car with enough on track data to break lap records that can never be achieved by Humans in any of the previous F1 iterations; it's the same when even the best fighter pilots cannot withstand certain g forces that allow drones/unmanned pilots to make aerial feats that would kill a Human.

Striving to be 'that guy' who got closest to the AI has it's appeal and I'm guessing Sony think so too? If the goal is to sell as many copies of the game and extra DLC, proprietary driving setups/steering wheels, online memberships, Sony TVs, PS5 etc... I think this strategy makes some sense to Sony. People literately spent billions on Fortnight upgrades in it's first 2 years [1], so it stands to reason if you can get a DLC for a specific car/setup that makes you competitive against the AI it could work.

I think this blog goes pretty far: https://os.phil-opp.com
To me it seems the way we are going, we are actively helping climate change to make the earth more dry. We are going to have less and less water provided by natural means, and at the same time, through the industrial agriculture we are making sure the little water we get escapes the soil as quickly as possible.

I live in Slovakia, water scarcity was not even a hypothetical possibility for most people in the past.

And now we are dealing with floods and (more recently) draughts. Our soil can basically no longer hold water. Agricultural fields are so compacted, there are layers which are essentially waterproof. During the last decades, we built all kinds of drainage and flood management systems to send any water away as quickly as possibly.

And now we are starting to have super dry summers. It will be an interesting thing to watch, because there things are not going to be reversed quickly, if at all.

So they should rephrase it to mean that they're the first to offer ARMv8 dedicated servers?
Thank you for posting this. This is just nothing but a ploy for Google to infringe on our privacy and serve ads to make more money.
This is the picture and article that made Dark Matter "click" for me, as a total layman: https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/chandra/news/08-111.html

With lensing we can "see" that dark matter (or whatever) passed through each other on a collision, while some "normal" matter actually collided and stopped in the middle (or slowed down).

Now, maybe "modified gravity" still makes sense somehow, but how come this modified gravity is following the previous path of a cluster in space like that?

This is as opposed to "The galaxies rotate too fast" argument, where the obvious problem is "Maybe it's rotating exactly as it should and you just don't know how fast it should rotate?"

This is a comment entirely about what's inside my head, not about the actual astronomical merit of any theory.
If the automation is there, is there a reason why more container ships at least partially utilize wind for locomotion? Is it just that retrofitting a giant sail isn't feasible onto existing ships?

Public transit is fine. Lots of people get around cities or connected metropolitan regions on rail, and that's great. There are plenty of places in America where we could usefully build more rail. These tracks do not have problems of freight preemption, because they are not used for freight at all.

Outside perhaps of the northeast corridor, there is very little of America that is well suited for long distance trail travel, with distances being too long, with too little population between metro areas, and the terrain too rugged. There are nonetheless people who want to travel in trains for trains sake. That's fine, I don't begrudge then their hobbies. But freight is important, getting supplies around in time for logistics chains to work is a serious business, and we should not imperil it so that a few eccentrics can have slightly freer access to their hobby.
>Is that how it goes in USA?

C'mon....We are more sophisticated now.

We constrain housing supply and ensure high inflation.
I think there's a1 (virtualized) and a1.metal (bare metal). Although I think the metal versions also include Nitro hardware.

But not my specialty.
Indeed, and in Germany it’s called "Rufbus” and that’s what you have in small villages where a regular bus service is not available.
I know there are such in other countries but I don’t know the other names.
Alright, having seen it, fair enough.
Then the spam is coming from the email servers which are used to relay that spam. Headers can be forged, so the source before the spam server can't be trusted as real.
Cities have the demand to support real transit which is vastly more cost and energy efficient. They have congestion which isn't helped much by shuttles compared to a bus or other high capacity transit. Congestion also slows the shuttle down so you need more shuttles and more depots. They also have more destinations at cyclable distances.

Paratransit is for mobility for theose who can't drive in areas that can't justify a train or enough buses for a <1hr max wait time. It needs a larger per km subsidy to be affordable.

Edit: apologies, responded to the wrong comment
That's great until someone has an app I need and chooses to only make it available on a different store.

I'm not legally trained, so I hope they've thought of this and also have rules for these 3rd party app stores.
There's no danger it will be left at a vague "unseeable distribution of arbitrary matter", if that's what you mean. Every astrophysicist studying in the field of dark matter wants to know exactly what it is, even if it's an artefact caused by multiple different unknowns.
If our representatives weren’t all so old, they might have a concept of these types of issues. Unfortunately without age limits we’re stuck with candidates so old that most lack an awareness of the most common issues of living and working with the internet.
Seems like the practical use for simple web servers like this is for hacking related activity.
France? Indeed.
My main confusion with this downtime is that neither their Cloud SQL nor Redis offerings managed to complete fail over despite my org having high availability enabled on both of those plans. Is there something I'm missing here? I would've suspected that failover would kick in for high availability instances and cause minimal downtime however its been almost 24 hours and our Cloud SQL instance is still stuck on attempting to fail over, not to mention that it comes at a premium. Wondering if anyone can help me understand what I'm missing or if the failover behaviour is not working. We've made our own workarounds in the mean time.

Relevant docs I've checked for behaviour:

https://cloud.google.com/memorystore/docs/redis/high-availab...

https://cloud.google.com/sql/docs/mysql/high-availability

EDIT: Have found out from our ops team that the SQL instance recovered around 3am so it was down for approximately 9 hours -- which is still totally useless for something deemed HA.
I haven't looked into DNS-over-HTTP/3 (DoH), but there's a secure-ish DNS mechanism already: DNS over Distributed TLS (DoT) [1].

The main criticisms of DoT are that it's hard to analyze for cybersecurity purposes. Except DoT is not encrypted end-to-end but only encrypted hop-to-hop. This means you can put a proxy checking for cybersecurity threats in front of your DoT traffic into or out of your network, if you need to. DoT can also be peer to peer, which can leverage a lot of benefits. DoH is client-server.

DoH has all the problems that come with HTTP/s and seems a good way to break one of the most relatively reliable systems of the Internet, in the name of convenience.

those examples seem a bit contrived to me.

Mythic Beasts have had ARM-based dedicated servers in Europe since 2017 (over 5 years ago). They have many Raspberry Pi with POE and NAS (no SD cards). (Mythic Beasts also host the Raspberry Pi web site.)

The thing I never liked about Airpods is, instead of having one thing that is hard to lose, we now have three easy to lose things.
They should up the network to 10 GBit/s. Given the price and specs of those servers, one can build a powerful bare-metal cluster there...
I don’t think you get the joke. GP was saying that wokeness is laughable and easily ridiculed
Lots of the Apple walled garden stuff is certainly not about security but about artificially limiting competition. And I am sure you can continue to use e.g. Apple Safari browser. But people who want to use the device they already paid for to its full capability without artificial after-market limitations should be able to do so.
How would point ratio help if every game is a draw? Maybe if it was a round robin tournament that would help top two players competing for wins against less highly rated people and then drawing against each other. Like Liverpool and Man City
Thanks for your question...

It allows you to analyze URLs in bulk (up to 50) and to save your reports in the cloud for futures references.

So let's say you pick 6 major types of pages: Homepage, Category Page, Product Page, Short Blog Post Page, Long Blog Post Page, Blog Post With Embeds.

You can analyze them with PSI all together, save their reports and track your progress. When you fix a couple of issues, you can reanalyze the same URLs (they are saved in the form of a "audit blueprint").

That way you get fresh scores and issues, and you track your progress.
Pretty sure mythic beasts has been offering raspberry pi servers for some time.
It's casual feedback, sure. But it is (by and large) specific and actionable.

I think "you couldn't ask for more" is disingenuous at best, and an actively harmful outlook at worst.

> All the BBSes back in the day were awful

Remember when Minitel was launched all computers were quite awful. A reasonable one would have an 80-column 25-line monochrome display, while most home computers had 40-columns and 24 or 25 lines (and some color). There were a couple graphics standards, such as Tek 4010/4 and ReGIS, but very few terminals supported them.

No you can't. iOS doesn't allow apps that compile or interpret code at runtime.
Duh. People only work at mowing lawns and picking peaches and tightening bolts and whatnot because they need to. People work as teachers and nurses and sometimes police and soldiers because they want to. We need the threat of poverty to motivate people to take the first class of jobs. It's so much better for wage-payers that people are relatively poor, because they need the job more. The second class the wage-payers can and do pay like crap because the workers believe in the mission.
On-call is even worse for people with disabilities. I quite literally can't do it unless I stop taking my antipsychotic.

Under ADA, I can not be placed on call, regardless of policy, nor can I be discriminated against for that. On-call is not an essential function of being a software developer, with very few exceptions—all of which have nothing to do with "policy" or "fairness".

Needless to say, companies (and some coworkers) really don't like this.
Jumping to such colossal fines is probably an excellent way to annoy the US, too, and given the current security/economic/political/world/universe situation I'd wager that the US would lean heavily on the EU to reach some kind of compromise. These companies aren't just big themselves, they also have the most powerful country on the planet willing to exert pressure to make them stay powerful. I'd be very surprised if Apple/Google/etc. ever paid 20% of global revenue even if they blatantly violate much of what the EU wants.
It happens with other things, but Bluetooth is not other things.

It doesn't need high speed. Just barely enough to get some audio through.

Bluetooth should have been perfected over a decade ago, and chips with perfect operation should be a commodity.

It's just not cutting edge, and shouldn't be.
I think you’re missing that the demand dynamics are different in underserved areas. They’re an alternative to a fixed bus route, so there’s a much greater tolerance for flexibility, i.e: 30 mins for one of these micro-transit buses to show up, and a 50% longer journey time vs. an Uber is very acceptable as a bus alternative, but an Uber rider would be very unlikely to accept that, which means Uber Pool is very unlikely to find a co-passenger whereas micro-transit is.
Adding a hydrofoil is a cool idea but I'm not sure that plus electric propulsion qualifies it as that novel compared to the Ekranoplan which, two paragraphs later, it describes as a 'proposed design' (also interesting wording for a vehicle with fully functional full scale prototypes). Ultimately the problem with ocean-going ground effect vehicles is that they combine the worst of both worlds; all the expense, fuel usage, load limitations and risk of a plane perpetually two seconds after takeoff, but still at the mercy of rough seas and weather like a boat.

Looking at their page, it looks like 'seaglider' is more like a model name than a vehicle classification. It's also interesting that they quote "over 325 sold with a $6bn order backlog" when they haven't even built a full sized working prototype yet. I guess they must cost $18 million each?
Most places at some scale have some meaningfully defined escalation path. That way you staff people with varying understanding of the system(s).

> This can obviously be fixed with good documentation, but in reality, no one has good enough docs.

One problem I've witnessed related to documentation about on-call issues is the over reliance on the SOP concept. They only commit to one level or one pass of analyzing the issue. They do not future drill down, either by linking to other notes or reviewing the issues deliberately. It's like they read about the 5 Whys and decided why not just 1 why.
This goes way further than I think anyone ever expected. Hopefully it works out well but some of these seem quite impractical. E.g. I'm curious if they're really going to implement end-to-end encrypted video calls between iMessage and Whatsapp users. Yes this is really required! Possibly even group video calls but the wording for that makes no sense so who knows. They have 4 years to implement it.

I feel like they could have gone a lot further to ban tivoising / locking devices too.

Joel, 22 years ago:

There’s a subtle reason that programmers always want to throw away the code and start over. The reason is that they think the old code is a mess. [...] The reason that they think the old code is a mess is because of a cardinal, fundamental law of programming: It’s harder to read code than to write it.

Well if the app is on a different store you wouldn't be able to currently install it all, right? So you have only expanded your options and it's up to you if you choose to exercise them or not.
There’s also not really any metric where any of them are better than Fischer. Neither Carlsen nor Kasparov challenged Vishy’s title during the peak of his career. He’s also such a phenomenal player, that if he’d been the one to abdicate the FIDE title instead of Kasparov, you’d easily be able to make the same kind of “top 3” comments about him.

See my sibling comment. Joel says you are just normal.
You can actually just do without the keywords: it's easy to figure out what is intended since class will never reach 100, and code will never go under 100. Will make this more intuitive to use since there's nothing to remember.

I've had great success using this sort of know-your-data "smart" search on company-internal databases for customers. People like it because it's intuitive and they don't need to remember keywords or mess with dropdowns.

Also, why don't you just call it http?
That’s similar to the situation with Android and iOS right now. In principle, there could be an app you need but can’t use because it’s only on Android and you have an iPhone.

If you like the App Store and want to continue using it, you’ll be fine unless it becomes less popular and loses some important apps. That could happen but seems unlikely in the near term.
This is the benign explanation I was looking for. It's a clever hack for providing a good user experience for the person who's receiving remote support, who can't be assumed to be computer-savvy.

Of course, it would be better still if there was a standard way of setting up specific URL patterns under specific domains to automatically launch an associated desktop app if that app is installed. iOS can already do this through the "/.well-known/apple-app-site-association" URL on the domain. It's why Zoom and Teams links, when opened on an iOS device, always go straight into the native app once that app is installed.

Edit to add: BTW, the file at the well-known Apple path also gives me a way of detecting a Zoom invite URL in one of my own products, even though Zoom URLs can have custom domains.

We already have this in my rural area in the states. There's a shuttle that picks people up to funnel them to either the local parking lot near the interstate (to catch a larger bus to the closest city center) or to disperse them to the 5 or 6 large employers across 3 counties.

You call the company, they send a van. Usually you get picked up with two or three other people and it might take an hour to get where you're going (when a car could do it in 30-45 minutes in a direct route). Or you schedule a regular pick up, and they coordinate to have you ride with 10 or so other people, but the ride is a lot shorter.

And it's 100% free. The large employers pay to subsidize its use for the entire area because they get such a value from it. You can get the shuttle to take you anywhere.
You can even do live resharding since 5.0.
It’s not about age (nearing 67 here, so I bristle at such mentions). Probably even the youngest members of Congress wouldn‘t have a clue about some of these items.
