I don't mean to come off rude but your app comes off like it's aimed at people who are almost literally afraid and bewildered by the sight of a pan or stove or avocado like the apes in 2001 coming across the monolith. With people I know who don't cook it's usually due to wanting to avoid the hassle they think exists because of misconceptions about the difficulty or time it takes. I'm not sure there are that many people who are avoiding it because they're intimidated to the point that they need to be calmed down by playing a matching game with different spices
ah yes minio! the one issue i have with using VPS for production is, are they hardened? or is it enough just with proper unix user management and UFW? I have this fear that the VPS box has attack surfaces or zero day vulnerabilities but when I am on the cloud I do not have this worry.

Perhaps irrational but can't argue with the peace of mind that expensive clouds offer. Although we've seen misconfigured S3 buckets leaking data so.
Well, seems like it would be relatively easy to make growth happen then. Imagine if Apple properly applied itself and brought the magic from the early iPhone to its cloud services.
> it was assuredly brought high up into the DoJ and approved.

The warrant was approved, but the issue at hand is that these safety deposit boxes were raided when "the warrant authorizing the raid explicitly forbade the FBI from seizing the safe deposit boxes or their contents."
How is Apple able to stay relevant among younger people and convince them to buy iPhones when Android phones are just as capable and look just as good?

If you truly can't figure it out, first thing I'd recommend is checking your assumptions.
I advise you to follow the Aya book. It is surprisingly easy to follow and to get started. Then, either build directly inside docker or build targeting e.g. musl and it should work just as well. Just don't forget to set `ulimit -l unlimited` before attaching your probe, it bit me a few times when using large maps (like the one used by aya-log).
I think this mistakenly assumes that tax money is spent on the things that are a priority to the society that pays the taxes. This is not how tax money is allocated at all.
Suppose you have a $30k salary, and one day $10,000,000 million appears in your bank account. Maybe someone in your town was killed on the same day.

Is it unreasonable that law enforcement asks how did you aquire an amount of money that is greater than you could ever earn in your lifetime?

it's nearly the same mechanism as what was used against alcapone to jail him for inocme tax evasion -> he had access to absurd amount of wealth, and there is no way the could have aquired it legally.
In the UK they put up distinctive colored direction signs for the cast and crew to follow to get to location (e.g. https://www.google.com/search?q=filming+location+signs+uk&tb...) They are always cryptically labelled so that they don't attract fans etc I guess.

These signs appear frequently around where I live in London. Occasionally when I am out for a run along one of my usual routes and I see a new set of signs I follow them and end up at the set. I don't make conversation or even actually stop running - I sometimes look over to try to see if there is someone famous I recognise but otherwise I'm not interested in what it is.

I did a bit of background artist/extra work many years ago and know that really the process is deadly dull, but it is nice to add a bit of variety and distraction to my running route.
If I have an existing Postgres database (on RDS) can I use EdgeDB to query it? Are there tools to generate a schema from an existing Postgres schema? Or is this mainly for green field projects without an existing database?
its all about security. the operating systems weren't designed for security. they were created pre-internet where you compiled all the code you ran on your operating system. its an unfixable architecture due to the nature of the API.

this is why the browser is winning. Javascript doesn't have access to your operating system. we finally have a way to allow arbitrary code run safely.

we then extended this to webassembly. this is how we're going to fix everything. the operating system is going to melt away and webassembly runtimes will rise. the end game is when webassembly runtimes run natively on hardware, and control is finally returned back to the end user.
The UX on Android is completely different. Everything is slow and laggy. Im looking at you, Samsung.

The Google Pixel’s Android version is better but not iOS.
Rivet nuts have sections that perform a different job and must be optimized separately. The part of the rivet which deforms to form a bead must be relatively soft metal; but the threads have to be hard.

Like with anything, I'd expect the rivet nut market to be flooded with fake overseas junk that is soft all over, such that the threads strip if you look at them wrong.

I don’t think this qualifies as introspection. You’re genuinely saying the only reason no one makes cross platform native apps is because the developers are lazy? You can’t think of anything else that turns people away?
At least in the US, the cost to start a business is chickenfeed. If you do business under your own name, e.g., as an artist or a consultant you can probably start today at no charge. The IRS only cares that you fill out a Schedule C at tax time. If you want to have a business name, it can cost a bit more, but typically less than $100. Change your legal structure? In my state it cost me, IIRC, about $150 to file the paperwork for an LLC and my accountant charges an extra $100/year to do my taxes.

The IRS has a lot of online information on starting a business, but it's buried in multiple documents. The best overall guide I know of is Publication 334: https://www.irs.gov/publications/p334

I think it's a matter of personality. Some people want everything analyzed before they start, but I'm not much of a planner. I just jump in and see how the water feels.
Reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinesin , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynein , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myosin

They are called motor proteins because they convert chemical energy into kinetic energy. In the case of kinesin, it forms a dimer (two copies of itself bind together to form the two "legs") and also binds to light chains (accessory proteins that modulate its behavior) so that it can walk along filaments and drag cargo around your cells. They are both proteins and more complex structures because multiple proteins are interacting, as well as binding small molecules and catalyzing them into chemical products, all to produce the motion.
There was a similar proposal (cannot find RFC) to add it to Email protocols. Would cut spam immediately.

It was even more advanced -- Recepient could choose how much sender should pay, and sender could agree to that (or do it non-interactively, i.e. send an email message with "Max-To-Pay" header, same as you can do it currently with international SMS).

Unfortunately, the proposal never got any adoption, because us, email users and providers.
I had no idea this was removed. Ugh that's really distressing.
Not in our generation. The current thought process of conservative jurists is that money is speech and the founders wanted corporate entities to have unencumbered speech.

Ben Horowitz’s peace time CEO vs war time CEO in ‘The Hard Thing About Hard Things’ comes to mind. Tim Cook is a great peace time CEO that can ‘focus on expanding the market and reinforcing the company’s strengths’. In war time (like when Jobs joined Apple and was weeks away from bankruptcy) ‘a company is fending off an imminent existential threat..has a single bullet in the chamber and must, at all costs, hit the target.’

There are probably ten thousand hackers on here that day dream about being at the helm of Apple with a world class team and war chest at their disposal. I know I’ve day dreamed about it and truthfully if money and technology were no object I’m not sure what opportunities remain for products that can fit inside a briefcase that Apple does not already pursue.

Curious to hear ideas that aren’t VR/AR or a SmartCar..?

(The best I can do is just a new take on existing products like a eInk iPod with 2 million songs and a month long battery.)
There is a funny symptom among windows users when they have a notebook/laptop: they need a mouse. Even when the notebook has a good trackpad, they still need a mouse. I tried to investigate why this happens. What I suspect: windows overuse/abuse clicks. The user must click so many points, they don't care about using the keyboard or shortcuts. Also, AFAIK, only recently windows has support for things like two-finger scroll and right click by tapping with two fingers; most users don't even know this is possible and look surprised when I show them that.

They have a need for a mouse. They scroll the text using the scrollbar, they use it even for moving the caret to the above line when writing code! It makes me sad just looking at that.
Definitely not. They started with a good idea for search, and then they acquired a really good approach to selling ads. Everything else is a sideline, and most of those sidelines have lost money.

FWIW $10M is at least 1 order of magnitude, and in some cases 2 orders of magnitude higher than necessary in order to negotiate discounts, depending on services used.
You have a point, and a few I do agree with, but to play devils advocate here, there is a reason they are trying to make it 'out of the box' as possible. It's a business for them and ease of use is the key.

I don't believe however they just disregard the security issues, I know a lot of the old school engineers involved in a lot of the core of older OS' and I can say hands down they're some of the best and most responsible engineers I've had the pleasure of working with.

Over time microsoft have gotten a little bit better with open source for example, again because they realised that bigger community assistance helps their bottom line.

Personally, in terms of proprietry OS' I do prefer their model over Apple/Redhat.

And for many many years I despised Micro$oft.
Wouldn't you like some OS that you can install everywhere, without Microsoft getting in the way, and have a lot of applications, all sandboxed with segregated data?

We are getting it. Firefox needs a DE. If the iframe security improves just a little bit, it can even be a 3rd party DE.

And yes, at some point I hope people do flatten it. People already tried a few times, but it was too soon.
I don't think I understand what this is actually doing. It's being pitched as some kind of new way to develop Javascript inside the browser, but VS Code is already available in the browser?

What does a web container actually "contain"?
Aya is an awesome library. It works really really well and allows to get stuff done surprisingly quickly. The most surprising thing for me was how it made eBPF discoverable. There is the doc for libraries on docs.rs (or on https://aya.dev for the bpf side) which allows for simple click-click discovery. And it allows for very quick iteration.

The use friendliness is not an overstatement. I went from eBPF newbie to 100Gbps / 40Mpps XDP setup in what, days?
I would give them all the money then. And I'm only half-kidding.
I don‘t know about S3 specifically but with a large enough consumption you can negotiate a specific rate card for individual AWS services in addition your Enterprise discount.
I don't understand. But then what do I have to complain about on the internet?
Yes, we'll be adding a way to choose the index type. It's even more relevant now that we've exposed range types.
From OPs explaination, if you won't explain how you got the money it'll be forfeited. That's the opposite of presumption of innocence.

I'm ok with having large amounts of cash with no obvious legitimate source triggering an investigation, but that's not what's happening.
> What would be worse is if vaping wasn't available and they went from nothing to cigarettes

Good thing we don't have to worry about it because it's a situation we have data on. You've created a hypothetical that is incorrect. Before vaping cigarette use from people who had never smoked before had plummeted to almost nothing. Meanwhile, 1 in 4 kids from 6-12 grade vapes.
I have 3 Macs at home and two of them are 2015 vintage--one desktop, one laptop. I did get a new Apple Silicon MacBook with a much larger SSD for various reasons. But for most purposes the other computers are fine and I'll probably use them even after OS upgrade cutoff as essentially browsers for a good long time.
There's actually a huge amount to learn about cooking with eggs. I don't think this app is going to teach anyone much that's meaningful in its current state, but if you change your mind and want to really learn about the glorious complexity of cooking with eggs I'd recommend the book Ruhlman's Twenty as a great starting point.

That book does what this app says it does (but doesn't), and teaches you why things are done the way they are. It also occasionally has a recipe.

To the authors of the app, some suggestions. Firstly get rid of the quizzes. You don't need them. Get users to actually cook something, and then follow up with "this is what you should have got", and "if you ended up with X this is what you did wrong". Secondly this app is trying to teach all the wrong things (and getting many of them wrong too!). You should be doing things like teaching people what oil to use for what task, depending on smoke point, taste, nutrition etc rather than having opinions about how many people own a wok. Read the book I mention above - it'll give you a much better template for doing this well.
It's not cooking 101, it's at least cooking 102 or 103. I know you didn't do it intentionally, but when newbies get into a new subject they are often turned off by comments like yours which boil down to "oh noo you can't do it that way, you simply must do insert term of art or else insert negative hyperbole" - it's precisely what's meant by "gatekeeping". If I told my girlfriend a million Italians were crying because she made lasagna wrong she'd probably slap me.

It also gets into the complaint about cultural specificity from the original comment. It might be Cooking 101 - for French cuisine. But to insist people learn to make the French mother sauces from scratch before eg. tacos or curry seems a bit too narrow-minded for "Cooking 101" generally speaking. I think "Salt Fat Acid Heat" has the right idea here.

edit PS: there is almost always a non-gatekeepy way to say the exact same thing. "In my experience, a homemade bechamel adds an incredible homemade taste to lasagna. I'd definitely recommend learning about the French 'mother sauces' sooner rather than later!"
This is what I was looking for! I love seeing other people's normal work setup.

I will tell you my story. I was doing part time freelance dev work when I was uni (/college). I was very proud of my setup. My siblings essnetially gifted me the entire setup a decent laptop, dual monitors, mechanical keyboard, MMO mouse with 12 programmable buttons. I didn't use the setup for entertainment just for freelance projects and sideprojects.

Then I got a "real" job working for a bank. I had to move out to a shared aparartment.

Oddly, I would often just imagine myself in desk. For some reason, imagining myself there acted like my meditation/zen place. Helped me sleep.

One of the main reason, why I left that job and now work execlusively from my home is my setup. It is pretty damn average but being there comforts me.
It would surprise me if acetylpropionyl will not have similar effects, it is a close analog of diacetyl, and an equally reactive alpha dicarbonyl substance, and for example generates free radicals at a similar rate as diacetyl[0] and at a higher rate than other flavorings. The only difference with diacetyl is probably that diacetyl's harms are more well-documented.

Speaking of beer brewing: diacetyl is actually generated during the brewing process and, although considered an off-flavor[1], is important for the characteristic aroma of some beers, one famous example is Pilsner Urquell.

Because you have to park it 900AU away from the sun (Voyager 1 is at 147AU after 40 years and not in a solar orbit) and it has to have a special kind of coronagraph that flies as a separate spacecraft from the telescope (hasn't been invented yet) and your telescope is limited to looking at objects directly opposite the star from the orbit of the spacecraft. At 900AU it would take decades to slew such a telescope to view a new object in the sky.

At the current time this is basically a science fiction project that promises that if we put a very special spacecraft in a very specific place then it is within our technological capability to image an exoplanet. That doesn't mean it's even a remotely practical idea. It's interesting to talk about but useless to get all worked up about why it's not getting funded.
Interesting, because I've always seen the hobbits as being so insular that they wouldn't need any conspiracy forest to keep them inside the Shire: it was such a paradise (and most hobbits so "boring") that nobody felt any desire to venture outside. Bilbo and Frodo were very much viewed with suspicion for their world-wandering ways, after all.
Worst-case for both as far as the effect of seeing the image(s) per se is very similar, which is that maybe you have an image in your head you wish you could forget. OK, not ideal, but also not the end of the world, and sure, the two are similar in that regard.

The difference is that images of violence aren't as strongly associated with things like sharing of personal images that haunt a person later, with really disgusting and effective forms of bullying, or with efforts to get kids to do something harmful IRL. Could they be? Can I concoct such a scenario? Sure, but these other things are in-fact happening a lot (ask any teacher or other person who works with kids ages ~12 and up)

That's why specifically when it comes to Internet messaging services and kids, nudes are a bigger problem than images of violence. I agree with you more broadly, but the context is important here, and is why in this narrow case the two things are meaningfully different, and nudity is the bigger problem.
SaaS engineering is hard to quantify value.

E.g.
You spend a week optimizing the database. How much is that worth? Does it allow the front end designers to abuse the db more to push more in features?

It's clear that without you the features couldn't be written, because the frontend folk haven't understood query optimization to save their lives. Meanwhile the sales team skipped the infrastructure planning meeting to go on their golf outing.

But sales have direct dollar amounts. It's easy to quantify. That money wouldn't exist without the sales person. On the other hand, those features wouldn't exist without your backend knowledge.
The allegation is that gun violence is a requirement for ShotSpotter, but not the reason for it. The reason for it is that a magic wand that generates probable cause wherever and whenever you need it is extremely valuable to a police force that is judged by metrics like "How many guns did you find today?"

The gun violence is just the camouflage that provides plausible deniability. If ShotSpotter had been founded in London they'd have called it "StabSpotter."
Sorry but the other commenter is correct. I've seen this first hand because with every new phone I've ever bought since even before smart phones were a thing I've always negotiated how much I paid up front for the phone vs the monthly contract and run the maths to see how much difference the contract would be. In every instance, even during my last upgrade which happened ~12 months ago, the amount I paid up front wasn't proportional to the amount my bill reduced by.

For example, If I paid for £1000 phone up front the monthly contract would be £40. So if your argument was correct then that same contract should be £40 + (£500 / 24months) == £61. But it wouldn't be. It would be more like £75 a month. Sure that's only £10 a month more. But over 24 months that works out £240 extra. So that £500 ends up costing £740.

These are just made up figures but they're roughly in the same ballpark as what I've experienced.

On occasions when I've asked for a pen and paper so I can make a note of the differences over the contract term, the sales people have even literally said "So if you go on this contract, your phone will cost £x more". So I don't think it's even a fact they try and hide.
