I have received an update from Account Research Team: As part of our strong commitment to the protection of our customers and our interest in preserving the quality and integrity of the Azure Marketplace, we perform supplementary reviews of accounts which may exhibit irregular or suspicious activity. Your account was selected for one of these reviews and after careful consideration, this account will remain closed.

Please understand that we keep security checks like these in place in order to protect the quality and integrity of the Azure Marketplace

The ridiculous thing.. my employer makes huge use of Office365? We signed up for Azure via a slightly different path with no issues.. but I know this could be pure chance it just happens to work as the service could be teetering on a precipice of arbitrary policy application and the rug could be pulled from under it any second with the same infuratingly cheery account deletion..
You stop when you have said as little as possible, but no less; make your point, don't start repeating it because then you assume the other party didn't get it.

Here's a good video on the subject: https://www.ted.com/talks/celeste_headlee_10_ways_to_have_a_...
These are called Time Travel Debuggers or Back in time debuggers: https://twitter.com/debugagent/status/1560204618801586179

I think they have so much potential but in my experience, they are still so far off from mass market appeal. rr is amazing but it doesn't work well in cloud environments where it needs you to configure settings in the virtual machine (which you can't). So this limits it to desktop Linux machines. Valuable, but not as valuable as some other options. Plus, using GDB is. Ugh.

There are amazing tools like Jive which is absolutely... Wow. It generates UML diagrams representing actual code execution. That's fantastic!

If you can get it to run your code base. I couldn't get anything beyond a hello world. Replay is pretty impressive, but front-end issues don't have as much state as other issues and are typically easier to track. It isn't great with long recordings so you can't just "leave it running".

I hope this field matures. Right now my hope is that vendors will steal good ideas and incorporate them into the IDEs such as IntelliJs stream debugger.
Playing devils advocate .. what if you created something illegal? Warez site for example. Or a BitTorrent site. Wonder how that would play out in court.
I have older XPS 13. I bought a M1 PRO recently, because I was tired of issues with my XPS 15 (which eventually died - won't power on).
I wish I didn't have the mindset that XPS was enough for me. For instance when I am running tests on M1, they finish in about a minute, whereas on XPS I could go on a quick coffee break. Having ADHD it was a productivity killer.
On M1 I can fire off tests, read something quickly on interwebs and then go back to developing in no time.
Best of all, no distracting fans (it has fans, and sometimes they do activate, but I wouldn't know if I hadn't installed a fan monitor - they are that silent).

> and setting up the dual-boot myself.

Only good thing about XPS is that you can replace the NVMe drive. So when I bought mine, I also bought a separate NVMe drive and simply removed the one laptop came with and just installed Linux on a new drive.
When my XPS died, I could buy a cheap used laptop (got a ThinkPad!) and put my XPS's drive in it and recover any data I needed.

With M1 you don't have that option sadly.
Okay, this convinces me to degoogle. What alternatives are there?
It works great on my 1080 (8gb). They did an awesome job making this work on mainstream hardware.

I believe it is not uncommon for the pedagogical path to some aspect of physics or maths to follow a route teachers like even if it's a-historical.

Maxwell's daemon comes to mind.

Fermi is noted in Richard Rhodes abomb history having a huge unconscious drive to test a ludicrous substance, against his plans, uncovering how radioactivity behaved.
Jetbrains IDEs index your entire codebase for intellisense to make instantaneous suggestions as you type, etc. Those indexes across many vectors take up a lot of space. I don't see how it could take less, for a project of this size. It's actively useful for me to have it loaded in memory.

Occasionally I run tools that provision an in-memory graph db to run some analysis, and that sometimes takes up to 16GB alone. Can't really reduce that either, it's just raw data.

I don't see the RAM usage of these apps as a problem. IMO the problem is that Dell is not respectful of that need for RAM and they don't make it available to buy the specs I need.
It's an issue with a lot of people who therefore feel unwelcome - mainly thinking of the software development industry here, and of gender differences. It's like if you're not blustery and assertive, you won't get a foot in the door in these discussions and your views on a matter will be unheard.

I think group conversations at work should have a moderator. Use a talking stick if needs be.
I have a similar setup, but on 32GB macbook pro it is using 22-25GB.
I think you are trying to make people to use their brain, which is a lost fight.

The EU has a right to basic bank account and debit card. Visa or MasterCard cannot refuse.
That's fine, and it sucks that often there is not really a choice in which camera software to use either. It doesn't help that by choosing Android or IOS you almost inevitably get hooked into the clouds of Google and Apple.

I deliberately bought a Pixel 6 in order to install GrapheneOS (a degoogled Android) and leave out all links to Google except for the Play store for a handful of apps pushed by governments and banks. The built-in camera app works fine, and OpenCamera is a great alternative too now that it supports all cameras of the Pixel 6.

> The First Amendment protects both GitHub’s right to host that code, and Professor Green’s right to publish (here republish) it on GitHub so he and others can use it for teaching, for further study, and for development of the technology.

Yeah it proyects it against the government. Everybody else is still free to sue, take down, deny access, whatever.
It doesn't help even if you pay.

I have Google One account for in person Google support in case shit hits fan.

Shit hits fan, for some reason my youtube account with premium gets banned for scams, despite account only ever used for viewing. So I make another one with premium that got banned a couple months later, again account only used for viewing. The kicker, once they ban your account, you are denied from subscription page and cannot CANCEL premium sub. And you can only appeal decision every two weeks which so far has been automatically rejected after a couple hours. Meanwhile I contact Google One who helpfully forwarded issue to YT team, and their response "we're not equipped to deal with this issue".

Current in the process of taking out my entire account data so I can cancel credit card attached to Google services, hoping it would kill the premium charges without getting the rest of my data wiped. Or all my playstore purchases. Utterly absurd situation. Pretty sure it's fraud, but there's one useful to resolve situation, even in person.
>When crossing the street, there's a tiny risk of death, but a fairly good chance of a somewhat desirable outcome (getting to the other side.) If you considered your death to have negative infinity utility, and the desirable outcome to have finite positive utility, then you would opt to not cross the street ever,

Weighing probabilities is one thing, and assumes humans are capable of rationally weighing these outcomes (which isn't clear) but even then which part of our scientific understanding of death precludes death having negative infinite utility?

Still, this doesn't disprove death as negative infinite utility, as the risk of death also exists from _not_ crossing the street; one isn't preventing the risk of death by refusing to cross the street. In fact, staying permanently in one place, never crossing the street, and doing nothing indefinitely out of a fear of death, would simply guarantee one's death.

>and the desirable outcome to have finite positive utility

Extend the timescale and the desirable outcome leads to the same outcome as the "undesirable" one.
Check the benchmarks for Intel 12th gen vs M1. It's kinda crazy the leap they made from 11th to 12th gen on laptop chips.

I will never buy an Apple product ever again, frankly. I hate their walled garden.

I'm using 64 GB MBP and it usually eats all that memory (mostly for caches, but it definitely exceeds 20 GB even for simple tasks like IDE + Safari). I guess applications configure themselves differently according to max memory available.
> Great Firewall

From the page you linked:

“The Chinese firewall is made of transparent proxies filtering web traffic. These proxies scan the requested URI, the "Host" Header and the content of the web page (for HTTP requests) or the Server Name Indication (for HTTPS requests) for target keywords.”

This directly implies that they are NOT breaking TLS. Filtering by the SNI would not allow you to block one YouTube video; it’d only allow you to block entire domains.

> I know that blocking a single URL, or keyword matching on the title are common features in off the shelf proxy servers

Not if the site is delivered over TLS.
When did I say that all nodes are miners? I said that miners are money transmitters.
The rate of change in computer tech is so fast: in terms of standards, paradigms, hardware capabilities and so on that I think any attempt to be really organised about it can be disrupted by other companies innovating.

And there are so many platforms and languages to learn, in addition to the front end does it all.

Probably you need more people whose role is “X that codes”. Designer that codes, SEO specialist that codes, etc. It matters less if they write any code on the job than they get what it is all about. Then they can have productive discussions with engineers.

After all any concern that isn’t just straight coding feels like requirements analysis. People can specialize in this. You can have a marketing specialist who talks to coders and SEO and marketing team and can put together what is needed.

But tech is dynamic and changing every 6 months so I think it comes with the territory. Not even a problem necessarily. If it is then the actual managers need to address it. It just comes down to skills, roles and responsibilities after all.
91-Year-Old Inventor’s New ‘Big Idea’ Could Extend Batteries By 30 Percent
Building brushless motors that work when submerged in salt water is almost trivial. The only parts that matter with respect to corrosion is the insulation on the windings and the material the bearings are made from. The rest you can just paint with whatever you'd normally use to avoid corrosion.
Depending on your specific requirements, querying the data dictionary isn't always sufficient; in particular, when there is a chance for changes to the schema.

An example: in case of Debezium's MySQL connector (a change data capture platform), we need to know the table schema in order to interpret incoming change events from the MySQL binlog. Due to the async nature of this process, such event may adhere to an earlier schema version, which is different from how the table looks like in the data dictionary now. For instance, a column's type may have changed between the point in time when that change event was created and now. That's why indeed we also implemented a full MySQL DDL parser for Debezium, as DDL events show up in-stream and thus allow us to react to schema changes at the right moment and update our model of the table structures accordingly.

Now, ideally, data dictionaries were revisioned, so that indeed we could query history dictionary entries (with actual change events containing a schema revision id), but I'm not aware of any database which supports that. Touched on this briefly in a talk I did earlier this year for Andy Pavlo's database group at CMU [1].

Looks like you took the good ideas from Scrapy's crawling engine and combined it with a great scraping API, which is all I ever wanted in a bot framework!

I'm especially excited about the unified API for browser and HTML scraping, which is something I've had to hack on top of Scrapy in the past and it really wasn't a good experience. That, along with puppeteer-heap-snapshot, will make the common case of "we need this to run NOW, you can rewrite it later" so much easier to handle.

While I'm not particularly happy to see JavaScript begin taking over another field as it truly is an awful language, more choice is always better and this project looks valuable enough to make dealing with JS a worthwhile tradeoff.
A cursory google search tells me our modern version of booty descends from multiple sources and that is the reason for its various definitions. I wonder if this sign went through a similar journey.

> my irrational issue with Ido, despite its numerous strengths, is that words with the same part of speech end in the same letter(s), making it monotonous. But as my wife pointed out, that regularity makes it easier for computers to parse.

For people too. And isn't that exactly how many natural languages work? Verbs -- someone doeS something -- all end with an 's'[1] in English: He/she/it writes, reads, encodes, builds, blathers, creates, excels, triumphs, loses, sucks...

[1]: Admittedly only in the present tense third-person singular, but that's something. Arguably, more of that would make the language easier to parse and learn.
Not necessarily. Let's say you get a burner phone and hook it up at home. You need internet and electricity of course.

Buy a Spotify gift card for $10 USD cash, use that to get Spotify Premium (first use the three months free of course).

Play your (artists') songs, 30 seconds each (considered one stream by Spotify). That's 2880 streams per hour, 86400 streams per month.

Spotify pays around $2-$4 USD per 1000 streams, so that's ~170-340 USD clean money coming in. Some of that goes to Amuse/TuneCore/etc. Then music production, admin, etc. But there seems to be quite some money to be made, especially once you manage to fake your way into recommendations and get legit streams as well.
Anyone know of the same for MySQL/MariaDB? I've found their grammar in the repository, but having a library would be better.

I've found unofficial attempts but they have all mishandled parts of SQL compared to the built-in MySQL parser.
Why is that not a "serious way to run a business"?

Rather than trying to solve the problem of "customers having serious problems", listening to HN and replying here says "we only really care about people being critical of our product in public; we don't actually care about the underlying issue people are criticising us about." It's not real support if Joe Random can't access it without knowing the secret formula.

Support-by-HN-replies is theatre, even if it works sometimes.

I'm not really suggesting Stripe are guilty of this. Stripe support has actually been fine for me in the past.

The reason why you use those libraries is that you know time is difficult and you need to be cautious. You don not blindly believe those statements about time. If pressed to answer whether they are right or wrong you would say that you are not sure.

Forgive me, second-hand calculations with similar assumptions but which forgot the t^2 square root on d=1/2at^2. Reran them and you are correct.

Racing drones routinely do 6Gs. So ~60m/s/s acceleration. With your above assumptions that's then about a 40m distance needed for a drone to juke out of the way of the shot. Thank you very much that's an important difference.

Hey! Crawlee uses the libraries from our fingerprint suite internally. https://github.com/apify/fingerprint-suite#performance

It has an A rating in the BotD (fingerprint.js) detection. Now we're working on improving the CreepJS detection. That one is really tough though. Not even sure if anybody would use it in production environments as it must throw a lot of false positives.

It will always be free and maintained, because we're using it internally in all of our projects. We thought about adding a commercial license like Docker. Open source, but paid if you have more than $10mil revenue or more than 250 employees. But in the end we decided that we won't do even that and it's just free and always be free.
Taxing wealth is not relatively minor. It is the way to transfer ownership of companies to the government.

Take most rich people; their wealth is generally in assets like land, or in investments. If you gradually move their company ownership and land ownership to the government, what do you get?
I'm just pointing out a potential trade-off. I don't care that much about resale, but the slightly reduced price up-front is nice.

Re dual boot, because if I do have a Windows license, I rather not just throw it away. I don't mind losing like 50GB of my storage just to keep Windows around in case I need to sell the thing or send it back for warranty. Doesn't hurt to have sometimes to test something in a Windows browser or whatever, from time to time as well (yes, VMs are a thing but meh, overhead and jank).
Child pornography together with drugs is probably the easiest way to frame someone for a crime. Especially in the computer world where people could be framed randomly and automatically by viruses without any motive.
Low-Background Steel (2018)
One thing I noticed after closing my decades old Google accounts and opening a new one just for the Play store was that there suddenly was no way to view age restricted videos on YouTube without uploading an ID. Does Newpipe allow that? Also, the absurd amount of puerile crap being pushed on the front page of YouTube when you lack the filter of a longer used account is startling.
Really, I wonder if it happened at all.
Wow that's a rabbit hole!

This is the TikTok-ification of music. The required response is the same here, as it is to the consumption of any other media, which is the same as when ordering food.

Don't order food out of a random dark kitchen. Order from a brick and mortar restaurant you know.

Don't use algorithmic feeds to discover video. Find a channel/producer you like and watch that.

The same applies to music. Assume everything fed to you is a tiktok style snippet of short term gratification that has no real value other than keeping you around for a few more seconds until the next snippet, while costing as little as possible for both producer and delivery platform.

Don't waste time being upset that everything is TikTok. If you scroll the TikTok feed, Watch Instagram reels, Order Dark Kitchen food, or listen to generated Spotify playlists, you are part of the problem.
I'm impressed by GrapheneOS. Only when you need apps from the Play Store will you need a Google account. As long as anything you get there is free and easy to reinstate if you lose your Google account, that's not much of a risk.

For navigation without transportation, OsmAnd and OrganicMaps (both OpenStreetMap) often do quite well.
Same. How do you use pylint for unit testing? I only use it in my IDE.
How is this not 'good'? This is exactly what nature/life has been doing, adapting and responding to changing conditions. Life as we understand it does not evolved to maintain a static equilibrium of any given region but a global biotic stability (this has been recognized at least 6-7 decades) - this is exactly what is needed (as per nature determination) for stability of climate, hence life.

If Alaska is warming and (biotic) life does not respond at all, then we have something to worry about. It would be a dessert.
Have you already forgotten about Covid 19? Most of my doctor appointments have been remote for the past 3 years, had to take pics of an injury. So, honestly, have you forgotten?
My understanding is rudimentary, but it doesn't alter the system. But it fixes what state the system should have to produce the given observation, retroactively. Which is counterintuitive in lot of ways. It can be thought as if the observation caused the determination of past state. Do I make sense or I am just talking absolute non-sense.
