That was my understanding too, but britain back then (let's say 1 AD, a bit pre-roman invasion) wasn't remotely uninhabited and those there were mainly farmers AIUI.

Also that doesn't explain the lack of 'ornaments'. Consider the olmecs (1500 BCE to about 400 BCE) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olmecs) who may just about have had a writing system (or not) and look at what they made: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olmecs#Artifacts

In britain at the time, apparently bugger all. Almost anyway, there is this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silbury_Hill and:

"The hill was constructed in several stages between c.2400–2300 BC[6] and displays immense technical skill and prolonged control over labour and resources"

That's not the product of a bunch of scattered farmers so I just do not get it.
Not sure the demand on no-code skillsets is there yet but its definitely something that will grow over the years. Congrats on your launch!

Most SEPA transfers (even between countries) are now instant, I've noticed.
What documentation is needed? I also think the donation deduction is valid if you waive the standard deduction so you'd have to donate $12K+ in order to get a tax savings.
Like I said, I don't know of a single instance where US lent support to a faction that would not increase alignment with NATO corporations, post FDR. I am all ears, if there are any counter examples. My tool of choice is Occams razor and it has served me well so far.

I, personally, am not aware of a single counter example. FDR had started to deviate by establishing friendly relations with Stalin's Russia. The possibility of a president deviating from the agenda was put firmly to death by making it illegal for a president to have more than 2 terms, after FDRs death.

As much as I hate Trump and Putin, Trump was the only President to deviate from the NATO consensus on various issues. It was a bad idea and grift by Trump and I didn't support it.

> I know great people, far better than myself, that have dedicated themselves to these ideals.

I 100% believe that. I believe Obama was well intentioned as well. For example, he tried to reduce tensions with non NATO countries like Cuba and Iran. However, when push came to shove- he supported ISIS in Syria.

Even Bidens price cap on insulin was written so that insurance Corporations profits are completely unaffected, the costs will simply be spread out to all insurance customers.

As for the folks you know, they could be working with the US Government on providing humanitarian relief to Palestinians and Syrian refugees, while another arm of the government is fucking them over.

The point is - the overall structure of the US government is built to primarily advance the objectives of NATO corporations. There will be thousands of individuals doing good work within the government. I know several of them myself. However, these are secondary- not primary objectives of the state

Another example, George Bush removing democracy in Haiti and installing a dictator

https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2004-mar-02-fg-usrol...

If it was Obama, he probably would have left Haiti alone. Haiti is strategically meaningless to USA. But Bush had to execute a coup.So, yes, the people in the government matter. But the singular thrust of US Foreign policy is alignment with NATO. It's as clear as daylight.
There was a product on Product Hunt the other day that solves exactly this. Kid you not, I bookmarked it and then had to hard reset my PC so the bookmark got lost. So very meta this whole thing
Yeah, in theory you’re technically correct, but in my experience, because “scrum masters are on the team” they’re usually a developer with little political or managerial power. I prefer having the scrum master and the PM on the team. As a pair they can navigate technical challenges and business politics effectively.
One thing to keep in mind, is that during periods of high demand they run the most inefficient, most polluting power sources, like diesel generators or natural gas peaker plants which are generally less efficient. So by dumping power on the grid when it's most needed you're reducing CO2 output more than if you just kept it for yourself. You then use it back when demand is low (early morning/late night) and efficient power sources are running.
So your point is that you can’t call out an instance of slavery unless you call them all out? That doesn’t make sense to me. You should be able to highlight an issue without someone retorting “what about X?”, which is literal whataboutism.

Everybody is a hypocrite on almost every issue. Take a major issue like climate change. Almost every human in the U.S. and Europe has massively large carbon footprints. Does that mean Americans or Europeans can’t care about climate change? We’re not ideal beings working in an ideal system. We’re flawed being in a flawed system trying to make things a little better.
How does that not make the police actively complicit in the theft?
Yes, we know this. We've known this for a long time actually. Nobody has yet proposed a better method.

- The agile manifesto is a smattering of nice-sounding principles with no suggestion of how to achieve/implement them.

- Scrum is an over-prescribed, subtly-complex theoretical workflow from the 1980s that was carried forward in the absence of any alternative other than Waterfall, in the same wake that created TDD, XP, and other now-ancient methods that we pay lip service to.

- DevOps came and went like a fart in the night. Was supposed to result in better outcomes for developing and running software projects. It's now literally a cargo cult. People who have no idea what it is, saying that they "do" it.

If you have a suggestion for a better way to work, by all means, someone please blog about it, I will read it. But please no more blog posts about how Agile or Scrum don't work. We have a decade of those posts already.
You more-or-less can't charge your battery from the grid (except in emergencies, subject to local regulations, etc.), so it's not sending the energy back and forth.

Our system seems to discharge 20% fewer watt hours than it spends charging the batteries.

As for transmission losses, you are likely powering houses on the same block as you, so they're hopefully mostly negligible compared to the battery charge/discharge loss.

The president has little actual control of the FDA. It's a bureaucracy and answers to neither party. "We be here when you gone."
People don't seem to understand that the battery chemistries optimized for cars is not the same battery chemistries optimized for grid storage though. You'll reduce the lifetime of your car substantially by cycling it every night.
Not what I was asking. I know the effects of steroids. I don't know what every person on that list is saying about them because, frankly, I don't really care about steroids that much. They're way beyond my reasonable cost-benefit window, I just barely started taking creatine. And what I do know of their opinions are squarely against them - this is why I was asking for concrete examples, because I'm curious.

But since you changed the topic, just for fun and the sake of the conversation. From your link:

> A variety of side effects can occur when anabolic steroids are misused, ranging from mild effects to ones that are harmful or even life-threatening. Most are reversible if the user stops taking the drugs. However, others may be permanent or semi-permanent.

This can actually apply to a wide variety of things. Remember all the drug scare about "drug abuse"? It's technically true - you can abuse most recreational drugs, including cannabis, and you can definitely fuck up your life on meth. And yet now, 10-20 years later, we have cannabis cookies free for sale, and quite a lot of ADHD people medicating themselves quite successfully with Adderall. There's a big difference between use, misuse and abuse.

Part of my (very idle and intellectual) curiosity is if steroids can be used safely. My instincts say "yes, probably, but no idea how". The people in the list above pretty uniformly say "no". Which is why I was hoping you'd point me to different opinions.
"Parasitic developmental forms were detected in 244 (81.33%) out of 300 (100%) examined insect farms. In 206 (68.67%) of the cases, the identified parasites were pathogenic for insects only; in 106 (35.33%) cases, parasites were potentially parasitic for animals; and in 91 (30.33%) cases, parasites were potentially pathogenic for humans. " Sounds horrific. How does this compare to other food sources?

It seems like you just read the headline and pulled out whatever axe you have to grind.

I assume you would say that "abortion is a Constitutional right" is part of the "Received Narrative," and yet some people feel inclined to hide it:

> Republicans, meanwhile, were less likely to privately say Roe v. Wade should be overturned (51%) than publicly (64%).

The questions asked were mostly related to opinions and ethics, not hard facts. They have nothing to say about a "Received Narrative".
How are we sure it is a dead end and how sure are we? It sounds as if this would put extraordinary selective pressures on the virus, if we are wrong I’d fear we would just make things worse
Back when the idea of “open source” came around, I thought the same. That the ideals of Free Software were too idealistic, and open source is pragmatic and commercially friendly.

Fast forward fifteen years and I am finding that Richard Stallman was right. Despite the commercial success of open source, I have found that usefulness does not always lead to a healthy society. (And I am aware that, zealotry and fanaticism have their own issues).

It’s not that I am a purist. Nix is still more practical. I have also heard that Nix and Guix can run on the same machine. However, I think Guix and Free Software conserve principles that I think are important for our society and civilization.
Thanks for this, very informative.

I'm going to look deeper at supabase and how it can add to our stack.

Pretty excited about the sql query editor.
Initial estimation * 2 is my way nowadays.
You can buy simboxes at alibaba[0] which are routers with 12 to 64 simcards. Each simcard has it’s own port which you can use in the config of for instance playwright or scrapy. We use one in production for frontend testing and some scraping.

It works perfect but it’s not cheap and keeping track of simcards which are prepaid or subscriptions in combination with data usage is a bit of work.

Resetting a sim usually gives a new IP and our experience is that blocking an IP by a scraped party is rarely the case because of the shared nature of IPs in the mobile world.

> go look up how much steel, oil and other primary inputs PRC generates domestically...

China is a massive net importer of oil.[1] I guess they can make steel with coal but they can’t get coal to the steel plants let alone run their whole industrial base if they lose Saudi oil. Russian western pipeline imports might continue for a while but after the super majors exited Russia that isn’t going to last regardless of embargoes.

> US wonks recently are questioning the feasibility of whether US can effectively enforce a blockade at all

What “wonks” are these? The US Navy is by far the largest blue water navy on earth. To disrupt most oil shipments to China could be done anywhere from the Gulf to Singapore and be far out of reach of the vast bulk of the Chinese navy. Just firing a cruise missile or two would do the trick.

> PRC has options to make US/containment partners to hurt comparably

Nonsense. Who precisely? China is surrounded by enemies or frenemies (ie Russia) the US is surrounded by trading partners and ocean and is a naval power second to none.

> 130 vunerable refineries and other critical infra that PRC can target in retaliation

The US has refineries dotted all over the country. The gulf coast refineries and the nation as a whole has one of the best security geographies on the planet. How is the PRC going to attack them exactly?

Neil from Nimbus here

Just for a quick clarification - it actually refers to manual file sync on your need at the moment. Syncing files automatically is something the team is discussing right now but may not become available in the product in the near future.

Under the hood, essentially, you can access Nimbus workspace via ssh (with private key/public key pair). With that foundation, if you ever want to download files or upload files, you can do so with scp, rsync, or anything that can transfer files over ssh tunnel.

That also means, technically, you don't have to use VSCode/JetBrain to write code on Nimbus workspace (though we have/are going to have official extension/plugin support, which is recommended). You can directly ssh into the workspace and write code in emacs/vim, or use any editor/IDE with SFTP support.
You (the account holder) do. Direct debits are instantly reversible for a month (maybe 2?).

You'll have to explain to the company that deducted the money why you reversed the charge though, and if it was legit after all you still need to pay them.
We use QML.

As for graphics performance, I think the heavy lifting is done by Qt6, as it took advantages of modern GPU rendering APIs on each platforms (e.g. Metal on macOS and DirectX 11 on Windows).

What we did to keep the UI responsive is more of following the best practices when possible, things like:
* Use QML binding when we can (e.g. serving data from C++/Rust via Qt View Models), this so that frequent data changes will be batched to UI redraws only when needed
* Use C++/Rust as much as possible for calculating data needed in the UI rendering (e.g. the waveform's data)
* Avoid fractional pixel position/sizes during animation (e.g. by rounding the values), so that UI redraws are quantized to changes on visible pixels

We decided to use Qt because we previously worked in a few successful commercial audio projects with it (for our previous employers), and felt quite positive with those - so mostly just to work with what we already know, as the audio side of the project also requires a fair amount of attention, and we are a very small team.

We have an upcoming article about the technical details of the project [1], perhaps that will be interesting to you, if so stay tuned :)

You would know. But I look at old comments when I see good comments dead for no clear reason. I lost track of how many had a few live comments, 1 dead for obvious reasons comment, and all dead comments after.
I have seen scrum turn into hell more then once and it had zero to do with rest of organization doing anything. Literally each time, there was no evil customer pressuring us too much or making bad demands, nothing like that.
7nm is considerably less dense than 5nm, since it's increased size compounds across two dimensions. That being said, A13 was indeed on 7nm, as well as the A14x they put in the dev kit. I don't think those benchmark numbers would be competitive against 3D Cache Ryzen or current Alder Lake offerings. Furthermore, I question how far Apple will be able to push Apple Silicon. As we've seen with the M2, when Apple can't get a clean node upgrade, they're forced to increase heat/power like Intel and AMD so they can scale their performance. With the upgrade to 3nm being much less dramatic than 10nm -> 5nm (and with Intel catching up rapidly), Apple is under extreme pressure to engineer themselves out of this situation. It may not be technically feasible.
Got to say your code looks very clean - really impressed! Db access, cache access sessions, s3 access and server init with middleware and endpoint interface - in a few short files with practically zero deps!

Honestly if it was 2 months ago we would definitely start with this, but unfortunately it is a little bit too late. Oh well
Correct. Creating design and products serves others. Painting is personal.
In my view, this is the difference between art and design. When creating art, I share my personal vision and emotions. Design is 'function over form', the goal of design is the UX and achieving a set of goals. The successful design/product is free from the designer's and creators egos, its purpose is to serve.
You can use artistic tools and interpretation in graphic design as a medium, but you must deliver a balanced result within a set of rules and goals.
I can help with number 2.

Two transactions are happening at the same time. Your "sales" revenue account is going up (Credit) by $2 and your cash asset account is going up (Debit) by the same $2. That is the first balanced transaction.

The second transaction is that your inventory asset account is going down (Credit) by $0.50 as you have less inventory now, and an expense account called "Cost of Goods Sold" is Debited by the same $0.50.

Your profit gets calculated on demand. There are two ways to do it, both yielding the same result. You can look at revenue minus expenses over a period, giving $2 sales minus $0.50 cost of goods sold = $1.50 profit for the period. Or, you can look at how your equity (assets minus liabilities) has changed over that period. In this example, no liabilities have changed and your assets (bank account) have increased by $1.50 because bank has gone up by $2 while inventory has gone down by $0.50.

I stopped going to stand-up and simply posted a Slack thread for status. The people who didn't like it are the people who would ramble on at stand-up, uncomfortable being curt or ending a meeting early. They'd ask "anyone have anything else to talk about?" just to fill up extra time. No preparation ahead of time, so a lot of "oh yeah and also..."

We've been eating other foods for a very long time, and we've developed methods to handle, and prevent, the parasites.

Cook meat, make sure fruits and vegetables are not blighted, ferment dairy, various preservation methods from pickling to canning to smoking.

The list of methods is enormous.

We haven't been eating insects except in times of famine. We have not yet developed methods of dealing with it.
Maybe the filesystem or LVM/RAID creation date would give a better birthday. Also, these days one can cross-grade between architectures without using debootstrap, just apt.

cool i'll check out raindrop, thanks for the tip!

but i just wish there were some talented engineering teams at the leading browser creators (cough couch google, mozilla, MS, apple, etc) that would integrate this as a first class feature. a design goal, not a supported extension.
> What happens if your battery is drained out at the time?

My guess is nothing.

> What happens if you hack your battery to say it ran out?

My guess is nothing, unless they catch you in which case they probably sue for breach of contract.

In that case you're probably financially on the hook for whatever their costs are for you not fulfilling your contract, or whatever damages are specified in the contract.
The US tends to be pretty good at surveillance in permissive environments.

And as part of an invasion, you're moving a lot of logistically-heavy materiel near international borders. And stockpiling it in quantities that look different than exercises.

It would have been somewhat surprising if we hadn't noticed, between the E-8 & RQ-4 flights.

What was most fascinating to me about the article was how little effort Russia put into their diplomatic masquerade. With a few more key meetings or different messaging, they could have achieved a more successful military outcome.

But I guess that failure speaks to how much of an echo chamber the leadership circles have become. Aka "We believe this, so why wouldn't everyone else?"
I don't know how much communism specifically has to do with the USSR's degradation of the environment, but their pursuit of autarky certainly is to blame for a lot, especially the depletion of the Aral Sea.
Until you get get it through the skulls of people with the money to pay that "we have it all drawn up, you just have to build it" is a horrendously bad idea, this will continue forever.
It seems odd that only Tesla would be allowed to participate. What about me with my 66kwh of batteries that I purchased for about the same as a single power wall. I have an inverter than can interact with the grid. Is a special signal sent out to just Tesla? Other people have non-tesla batteries.
How to deal with Support Issues?
I work for a big Cloud Engineering team.

They have been moving our support team out of the US to cost efficient centers such as India, Romania and Philippines.
This means support teams can open a case with Engineering directly with little or no technical information:

We currently have a huge case load with very poor escalations.
(Not enough information, lack of troubleshooting, little expertise from support teams)

Today we enforce a template to be filled before opening a ticket which is mainly ignored.

We also have account team members (mainly sales teams) opening tickets with us with no technical details under the excuse that is a big customer willing to spend $$$ and bla bla bla.
Also internal people opening cases with no care for technical details but direct access to ping Engineering members.

This means our on-call get bombarded by support tickets and we can miss real issues because of the high and low quality amount of cases. I have though of the following:

Restrict who can open the cases:
Only tech leads from support teams
No internal people and force them to go through an alias or general chat with no SLO

Any other ideas?

How to start the conversation with support teams to get better response as I'm pretty much saying they are not doing their job.
> but how can I adapt this recipe to grilled dog

This seems like an unnecessarily hostile response, kind of inline with what the OP mentioned.
As a straight man I would also feel safer in the women's room, does that mean I should be allowed to use it? Personally I don't give a shit what bathrooms someone uses.
Oh, and never ever do #2 if you're visiting a country where drive-by purse snatching is a thing.

When two dudes drive by you on a scooter and one grabs your purse, you kinda want the strap to snap or you'll have a bad time.
> This difference is a consequence of law, not payment technology.

Yes, that's the beauty of it. When using credit cards you can know you're not liable for losses, full stop. The bank can't suddenly change their policy because it comes from regulation.
