On a reverse-engineered GPU like this, because of Vulkan's low-level design, implementing (early) OpenGL might actually be significantly easier.

Also, Vulkan isn't popular with game developers because availability sucks. Vulkan doesn't run on macOS. Or iOS. Or 40% of Android phones. Or Xbox. Or PlayStation. Or Nintendo Switch[1].

Unless you are targeting Windows (which has DirectX and OpenGL already), or those 60% of Android phones only, or Linux, why would you use Vulkan? On Windows, DirectX is a generally-superior alternative, and you get Xbox support basically free, and if you also support an older DirectX, much broader PC compatibility. On Android, just use OpenGL, and don't worry about separate implementations for the bifurcated Vulkan/OpenGL support. On Linux, just use Proton with an older DirectX. Whiz bang, no need for Vulkan whatsoever. Yes, some systems might perform better if you had a Vulkan over OpenGL, but is the cost worth it when you don't need it?

[1] Technically, Vulkan does exist for Nintendo Switch, but it is so slow almost no production game uses it, and it is widely considered not an option. Nintendo Switch is slow enough without Vulkan making it slower. Much easier just to use the proprietary NVIDIA library.
Some people are certainly not contributing much brainpower. If only the smartest people were having kids I could see this being true.
Doctorow is a professional activist.

He makes good points and has a clear set of beliefs that he applies consistently, especially on topics like this, but gets a little overbearing if you follow closely.
You'll find plenty of the customer base of Databricks used to run their own clusters.

It's a tradeoff. It might cost less dollars but more time. The time and expertise to run their own clusters effectively is not something every org can or desires to do.
I use this but it works intermittently. It seems the Samsung TV randomly decides not to use the DNS IP I put in its settings.

Nobody can form their own argument or opinion that is longer than a tweet.
If you look at things like the GDPR, Reverse Charge VAT and other stuff the EU has planned, then you will realize that is an EU wide problem with “annoying bureaucracy”.

So moving from one EU country to another doesn't solve this issue.

Also, Germany has the most political power in the EU because they have the most population - so the same shitty things German politicians plan for their own country have a big possibility to become EU standards.
Thank you CSDude. We wanted SurrealDB to basically be open source, but with the only limitation of not being able to provide a Database as a Service platform. So in a business or enterprise use, there is no limit at all. You can run SurrealDB with as many nodes as you want, and as many users as you want; you can provide a hosted database internally, or to employees, contractors, or subsidiary companies. The only limitation is providing a paid-for, hosted, SurrealDB database platform.

I got the same quote two years ago when my Macbook Pro 2015 got staingate display issue. It was a few weeks after the "4 years repair period" and they wouldnt replace it for free, even though its a known problem and their fault. I also didnt receive any email notification about 4 year repair period regarding staingate issue. If anyone is sueing in Europe about staingate issue let me know. It was sad to throw away 3000€ machine after 4 years.
My wife and I considered moving to Estonia awhile back.

One of the major things that convinced us against it was the safety issue - Estonia shares a border with Russia. Estonia has been a soccerball between Germany and Russia in the past, and Russia's current ambitions could very easily expand to include the Baltic states.
Of all the things to backup, how does a technician NOT include Documents/Pictures?

There's nothing at all weird about refusing to work through HackerOne. If you're not violating contracts (or the law) to conduct the research in the first place, you're not required to work through a bounty program at all; you can just disclose directly. Part of the point of a bounty program is to limit and control how disclosure happens; if your priority is the disclosure and not the cash reward, you won't want anything to do with H1.
No. It's a reflection of how financial markets value regional economies that use / back those currencies.

Over the past 15 years, Europe experienced:

* The Great Recession.
* A Sovereign Debt Crisis which lasted well into 2014.
* Increasing competition from new economies in Asia, mainly China.
* Brexit.
* The Pandemic.
* And now an unprecedented energy crisis.

Also, the EU had expanded swiftly in the '00s allowing many of the former Eastern Bloc countries to join the union. Arguably, one does not simply integrate national economies in a single market zone under a single currency. It takes years to align towards common policies, while dealing with the many challenges posed by cultural and political differences.

Let's not forget that the initial raison d'etre of the EU - such as it was conceived by Schumann and Churchill - was to ensure sustained stability and peace across the continent in the wake of World War II. In a way, the EU has been instrumental in protecting the continent from worse consequences given the turbulent waters the bloc has navigated over the past 15 years. But it hasn't come out of all of that unscathed.

In order for the EU to recover, it needs to invest in infrastructure and people. A massive challenge which is encumbered by the significant debts most European nations have been shouldering thus far.

You, on the other hand, using American technology to connect with the world and assert that "software is eating it", well, that's - historically - just one expression of American hegemonic power after World War II. In regard to the EU that's expressed military - through NATO - and economically through countless trade agreements which have led to tight integration (see: https://policy.trade.ec.europa.eu/eu-trade-relationships-cou...). Proliferation of US technology across the continent is just one expression of that relationship between the EU bloc and the US.
In short: extremely convenient.

In addition to enabling me to use practically every government service from my couch (and signing legally binding contracts!), the eID system has expanded to become a single sign-on method for many more things. For example, if I would want to change my ISP or mobile carrier, I'm able to log into the new provider's site without any prior registration and have an account with my identity already verified. Even random e-shops will provide this as a login option, and then upon checkout I can use the very same authentication method to confirm the transaction with my bank.

Also, with the advent of Smart-ID (https://www.smart-id.com), I don't even need to pull out my card reader for any of this.

The only government interaction that has required me to be physically present in an office was when the residence permit + ID card were issued to me in the first place.

(For reference, I moved to Estonia from the US in the beginning of 2020)
I've been reading Exploding The Telephone (about phone hackers). The author makes a case for the conference call lines (like "2111") being one of (the first?) instances of a networked persistent social space. Groups of young people hanging out on these telephone company test lines... coming and going like it were a coffee house..

I've been trying to wrap my head around what it must have been like at the time.
How extreme was your apnea?
> While I feel we need to be gradually reducing the number of people on the planet

We are on that trajectory now. No need to do anything special. It's baked into demographics and unavoidable at this point.

"Snowflake has no incentive to push a code change that makes things 20% faster because that can correspond to 10–20% drop in short-term revenue. In a typical Innovator’s Dilemma, Snowflake prioritizes other things that generate an ever larger menu of compute options, like Snowpark and data apps built on Streamlit, that will bleed your organization dry."

This is not true. Snowflake has done just that - it has continuously improved performance resulting in reduced credit consumption and revenue from customers on a unit compute/storage basis. And it has negatively impacted their revenues and stock price. Snowflake's incentive is to strengthen their competitive position and to hopefully generate more long-term revenue from their customers.

The CFO forecasted a $97 million dollar short fall when guiding for 2022 revenue resulting from product improvements. Snowflake stock dropped immediately after.

See Q4 transcript -- https://www.fool.com/earnings/call-transcripts/2022/03/02/sn...

"Similarly, phased throughout this year, we are rolling out platform improvements within our cloud deployments. No two customers are the same, but our initial testing has shown performance improvements ranging on average from 10% to 20%. We have assumed an approximately $97 million revenue impact in our full-year forecast, but there is still uncertainty around the full impact these improvements can have. While these efforts negatively impact our revenue in the near term, over time, they lead customers to deploy more workloads to Snowflake due to the improved economics."

Also see the Bloomberg article -- https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-03-02/snowflake....

"Snowflake Inc., a software company that helps businesses organize data in the cloud, dropped the most ever in a single day Thursday after projecting that annual product sales growth would slow from its previous triple-digit-percentage pace.

Executives said improvements to the company’s data storage and analysis products will let customers get the same results by spending less, which will hurt revenue in the short term, but attract more clients in the future.

“The full-year impact of that next year is quite significant,” Chief Executive Officer Frank Slootman said on a conference call Wednesday after the results were released. But “when customers see their performance per credit get cheaper, they realize they can do other things cheaper in Snowflake and they move more data into us to run more queries.”"
Yes, but how long can you do that? Also, our local stock exchange has listed only a few dozen companies.

All that is left is the petro dollar. This is the result.
> Car seats and cars are the least expensive part of raising young children.

Yes but cars and driving are so holy to people. While the effect discovered was small, it seems subjectively true to me that people spend way more time thinking about car and car shit than they ought to.
Then you don't have issues with VISA or Mastercard censoring things, as it was in their TOS the whole time, right?
It depends on what’s wrong. Just like anything else you have to take it in for an estimate. I don’t expect my car dealer to quote me a price on a repair without bringing it in.
They argue against car seat requirements by pointing out that they don't work as well for older kids, but it's precisely the lack of requirements that result in booster seats not performing as well. No one makes any that standout as better, because they aren't required to. Likely, you aren't going to get better performance without using a 5 point harness, but the market for something like that would be far to small to maintain, so we don't get a choice. I'm not arguing that we should require 5 point harnesses for 8 year olds, but I am pointing out that we didn't have the option to buy infant car seats, as effective as they are now, before requirements were put in place.
Those professionals may be making money on the books and seminars, but those books and seminars have been sold to people that are snapping up homes for investment, don't play dumb about that.
> Deeply negative real rates and little indication that the ECB has the stomach for any substantive action.

You can't have positive real rates AND pump up the real estate bubble.

There are two parts to growth - population and actual growth.

The majority of "actual" GDP growth for the last 20 years in the West has been people paying more money (inflation adjusted) for the same land.

Why? Because you could! Interest only went lower.

Positive real yields mean people need to actually work instead of speculate on real estate. Most people would rather just speculate on real estate. It's so much easier.

Unfortunately, it's a zero sum game. The losers are renters.
What Trump actions benefited Russian interests? Arming the Ukrainians? Demanding Europe spend more money on their military? Blocking the construction of the nordstream2 pipeline with threats of sanctioning anybody who worked on it? Bolstering the US energy industry

Trump would have been public enemy #1 for Russia. It's still leftover nonsense from the steele dossier hoax that caused this sort of thinking. It's extremely frustrating, and is an example of why fake news is so dangerous.
Doesn’t that take you back to the original problem though: if you delete the primary key the query fails?

Would the created_at be a better option than the primary key? That can’t be deleted or changed, and that would give you a stable secondary sort?
Most places de facto depend on a single provider that becomes a cost center when using cloud providers too. While you can shop around, in effect it tends to get entrenched and get more and more dysfunctional as people try to exploit characteristics of your approvals process for using resources from your chosen provider. For a big company, you need a team to manage these resources - I've lost count of the number of recruiters who has contacted me just this year for roles involving management or architecture of cloud strategy etc. because they're building whole supporting organisations around a specific paradigm for hosting rather than building an organisation responsible for understanding and providing the best possible substrate for their applications.

I'm all for hybrid solutions, but mostly because it means you usually end up being able to cut the cost of on prem, colocation or managed servers even more relative to cloud setups because you can increase the utilisation rate (e.g. run your base load on cheap Hetzner servers but being able to spin up EC2 instances on short notice to take spices or handle failures up to and including all of Hetzner falling off the face of the earth). Most larger managed providers today also offers cloud services and many also offers colo services, so you can often easily mix and match as long as you're conscious off egress pricing which is often the biggest barrier to such setups today (especially if the big cloud providers are in the mix, though it's better than it was).

That said, I prefer not putting my eggs in one basket, and instead going the direction of putting in place layers to treat a multi-provider setup as one. In the past I've e.g. done zero downtime migrations between AWS->GCP->Hetzner that way, and also had systems split between actual on prem (as in a data room at our office), multiple colo's, dedicated servers at Hetzner, and a couple of VM providers where everything was transparent to our engineers (they didn't need to know on what continent a service ran unless doing performance optimisation or reliability engineering). We prepped to tie in AWS resources too, but it never become cost effective for that company to do so vs. the prices of the other providers used - it would have been if we had sudden extreme load spikes, but it was a business where traffic was linked closely to physical capacity at restaurants and nightclubs, and so traffic was very predictable.
If you mean transfer as regards banking, the whole EU (plus EFTA and the UK) are covered by the Single Euro Payments Area, within which all bank transfers must be subject to the same rules and fees as national ones (notwithstanding currency exchange fees if applicable).

If you mean transfer in a more abstract fiscal sense, not even individual EU states themselves are homogeneous regarding their internal fiscal policies. Some are federal, such as Germany, and some are highly centralised, such as France. Then you have the case of Spain where all 17 autonomous communities (≈pseudofederal states) have a small leeway regarding income tax and must follow the baseline central policy, but two regions in particular—the Basque Country and Navarre—have fully devolved powers regarding taxation due to "fueros", i.e. historical rights.
Electronic voting is a bad idea. Almost no upside, but lot of downside.
Nobody can proof that the system works, nobody can keep it secure (noone cares about estionian elections, imagine the US...), nobody can proof authenticity in retrospect.
And of course, they can’t really be anonymous.

And for what? So that somebody that is too lazy or too disengaged to fill out a paper form or spend 10 minutes at a voting both can have a say in the countries direction?
> I sometimes wonder how much US tech productivity is built on a foundation of ADHD med over-prescription.

Can you clarify - do you mean that the types of drugs used to treat ADHD make US tech workers more productive, or do you mean that it they increase the use of SV-style tech products? Somewhat contentious take either way.
Now you need to convince them to use this system. You also need to convince them to not use this system, where they're injecting arbitrary code into the sandbox remote machine, to download the data to their local machines where they can work in the way they understand and are comfortable with. Inevitably some person will react badly to the perceived lack of trust or object to what they see as making their job more difficult for no reason.

There are a lot of options for monitoring for that kind of thing. You monitor the remote machine, you monitor the network traffic between it and their local terminal... and the most valuable will be monitoring their local machine to associate with the rest of the access and usage information. Among other things, you need to be able to distinguish between someone using the data scientist's credentials and the data scientist using their own credentials.

Your idea is a wonderful approach! It improves security, privacy, traceability, and auditability. It may not be the same as removing the need for endpoint monitoring, unfortunately.
Now let me just open an ADB bridge with my Apple TV and install some third party applications, maybe flash a custom OS, rollback to an older firmware.
Hi packetlost this is a really interesting topic to me. I wrote my MSc thesis on this exact topic - https://surrealdb.com/static/whitepaper.pdf ! I've learnt a lot since writing this thesis, and would have many different opinions if I wrote it today, but very interested in this area of research!
Do you really need functional constraints in a OLAP database? Surely such validations already exist wherever your data is coming from.
Totally agree, I did not consent to receive marketing for your start-up. My email is on GitHub for serious inquiries or security concerns regarding my projects.

I've recently starting calling out such companies. A couple of cases:

- Diffgram - Questioned how they received my marketing consent on their community slack chat, along with another user, got banned.
- Buildable - Called out the founder on Twitter and was blocked in response.

While calling out seems just to result in being silenced/blocked, my hope is that it puts pressure on those companies, and others observing, to not market in this way.
Moving to a bigger place won't put my coworkers into it lol
There’s a process for that too.

They file for reasonable accommodation and the idiots who get concerned about your bathroom time have to be quietly told to stand down because you have special permission to poo.

It can get more absurd as well. There’s an unlimited about of goldbricking and bullshit that people are capable of.
I read the whole thing. "By our estimate". Where is the data? When did it happen and at what rates? What news sources are called "the left"? note that while I dont consider the New York Times to be very "left", that sentence is using the NYT as an example of how much advertising space costs, not that the NYT itself ran $16 million of coverage directly. Also, the images on this page don't seem to load (example https://shorensteincenter.orgwp-content/uploads/2016/06/figu... . host not resolvable here).

Trump ran for president many times before. Why didn't "the media" create his candidacy all those other times? It's because there were many factors working in favor for him this time, that both matched the message he was giving, as well as that he had himself honed his message with the help of foreign agents like Paul Manafort. Of course "the media" was essential to his win, as they would be to any candidate running at a national level, but they didn't just pick him out of thin air and decide to create a candidacy on a whim.
Germany and Russia playing a Kindergarten war with Nordstream. Putin throttles Nordstream-1 and says he'd supply via Nordstream-2. Germany refuses to open Nordstream-2.

For Germany, apparently gas flowing through Nordstream-1 is ideologically pure, but gas flowing through Nordstream-2 is evil.

The West will continue to celebrate its hawkish Ukraine policies as a success. Looks like Taiwan will be the next success.
As someone who has repaired Apple devices over the years, swearing under my breath each time they put new hurdles in the way, it is so refreshing to see a full repair manual for my relatively new phone [0]. Lots of negativity in the comments but it is so relieving to see Apple change course and lift the curtain.

Also adding to the anecdotes with my own:
I have never needed a case for my phones or computers, and have barely even scratched the shell. I go on adventures for a good portion of the year and still manage to keep it intact, so i scratch my head when people say they break easily or that they always shatter their screen, it really seems to go beyond accidental damage and stray into carelessness.
