They used to have very good phone support (at least in Canada), but I think that changed and they now sell premium support packages, sadly.

They also used to assign us a sales rep, which I never really understood what the purpose was, but I guess that provided a way to channel complaints if necessary.

(we only have a dozen baremetal servers, but have not had to contact their support in the past 4 years, except maybe to change of disk once)

At that point I'll just run Gitea on a sub-$5 VPS. It does more than what I need and is simple to run, and has more storage for less.

> But storage isn't free, it's not really fair to expect everything hosted for free, they give you the software which you can run yourself.

I'm more interested in paying a reasonable amount if I hit their free plan limits. My point is that their pricing scheme seems ridiculously high for small time hobby coders like myself and will drive me away from Gitlab if I hit their limits, instead of giving them money.

I have done and continue to do research in this field which is why I am perplexed by what you're saying; it doesn't make sense.

Applying more pesticide doesn't increase profit; it lessens due to the added cost and diminished returns. You'll be hard-pressed to find an agriculture operation applying more pesticide than absolutely necessary.

The advances in agriculture technology has lessened the amount of product application necessary, not increased it.

As long as that buffer is inside Russia, I would be fine with it as I suppose most others would.

It's not OK to suggest that countries can have a sphere of influence in 21st century. Each country chooses their alignment and alliance independently. Russia has repeatedly shown to be a poor neighbour, so it shouldn't be a surprise to them if independent countries decide to turn away from Russia.

US and Russia simply can not agree between themselves what should be Ukraine's place in the world. That kind of world order does not exist any more.

> ...Consider all of the things that a user could input and if you don't want the program outputting to the user a certain type of output then you have to make sure that output can't be a possibility.

But here's the problem: DL systems are by definition made to be good at generalization, so the input space is (could be) infinite.

Also if you're using large pretrained models, you don't have power over the examples that it has already seen in that training. You can fine-tune for your use case, but there's the latent posibility that the "old memories" may come back. Which is valuable for the model to learn complex things that you may not have enough data for, but you know, it can also come with a few surprises.

1-click download for the latest release of a GitHub repository
I create this little tool yesterday, initially for personal use, but thought it could help others if I make it public.

It basically allows to download the zip for the latest release (if it exists) on a GitHub repository.

At my work, I didn't want to download that zip every time I release a new software version and send it to my manager and colleagues. Now I just send them a unique link, and they'll always directly get the up-to-date zip.

Hey there! I think you mentioned this site in a reply to me a while back, just saw the link.

The site's lovely and has a warmth and non-sterility to it that I find most early-startup websites don't, so kudos on the presentation there.

My thought is I can't see it immediately applying to me if I were a random Sam in the workforce, but maybe if you took the angle of marketing as a 'intentional corporate bonding exercise' that HR and people managers quite often like. They'll often schedule little 1-hr sessions of video tours, MBTI personality discovery, etc, and this strikes me as a much less offensive version of the latter. ;)

Perhaps being able to show that employees can match up with other coworkers in a set time (eg 30 min, 1hr may help? Looking at how personality tests sell themselves to corporate may give some other subtler marketing clues.

Hope that helps, and good luck!

Mixed feelings about go.
- I dislike the verbosity of the error checking; rust’s ? Operator did it 100x better. With go, if some function deep in the call stack might return err, every single point in the call stack above it has to check “if err != nil”. I understand the point of this; unchecked exceptions are very bad, but some syntactic sugar could go a long way here.

- I dislike in general code generation. This isn’t a Go thing, this is a “any language but rust” thing: macros are just _so good_. I don’t have to keep a code generator daemon running in the background, and I don’t have to worry about running a code generation step in CI.

- I dislike implicit interface adherence: this makes it so hard for me to navigate code bases. For instance, If I take a Foo interface, I just have to guess at where all the Foo implementers are?

Those are just a couple of my qualms. In general, though, I do reach towards Go for projects that I know aren’t going to hit massive scale (scale as in “need 10 developers supporting it”), and it hits the sweet spot for me that’s between prototyping in python and enterprise in Java / Rust.
It will be a miracle if they do not delay again.

Given the log-slider, a log-average would probably make more sense. As in, take the log of all responses, average those, and raise the average to the power of 10.

Very similar to Pollen (https://www.pollen.style), though it looks a little more complicated.

IMO the main value of Tailwind is that it's a step function over your units and colors, which helps bring better consistency and dev speed to UI implementation.

Tailwind's "write class names instead of CSS" approach makes sense in the component-based systems most apps are built in these days, where pretty much any repeated markup will be turned into a component. It performs better than scoped styles and is less complicated.

A CSS variable approach like Open Props or Pollen is, in my experience, better if you're not using a component-based system (ie. conventional HTML) and therefore have repeated markup patterns. Having a simple class name to apply to repeated markup is much more maintainable than trying to copy/paste a long tailwind string around.
Somehow this does not seem to be an issue for most nuclear power plants built in the past in Europe or most built elsewhere today. Here in Belgium the reactors were built and gridconnected in 4-6 years and China still seems to pull similar with it's French or more modern designs.
> The compiler can be used to translate new versions of C (like C23) to C99.

So is it a compiler, a front-end (which emits IR for another compiler), or a transpiler?
This can in theory happen to any steam-based power plant. Using steam to generate electricity is about 30% efficient. So you still need to get rid of the other 70% of heat that is generated, but not converted to electricity.

So it would also happen to power plants that burn coal.
The biggest issue, I see with learning how software works, is common names.

For example, game engine. Some library or framework, that helps you to build games. Nice.

But what they do for you in detail isn't known, and can take months to understand.

Unity does much more than Phaser. Angular is a total different beast than React.

And this goes down to class names. MVC was the hype back in the days, but nobody knows what it actually meant in detail. Some people sat down and wrote some definition of the term, but no implementer adhered 100% to them.
The Asahi GPU driver which is currently being developed uses a proc macro to deal with the different versions of firmware that the driver must support (i.e. fields are added/removed in firmware updates, and the driver must support both).

That probably will never compile especially quickly. I'm not sure how sensitive kernel devs are to clean build times. Presumably doing a non-incremental build is relatively rare?
Unfortunately for them, I don't expect they'll end up in jail.
"Into the arms" is a pretty big overstatement. China is not a friend of Russia. It has its own goals and challenges.

And many challenges they do have: China made a huge progress on industrialization, put some checks on corruption and conquered widespread hunger, but it is still a mostly poor, agrarian country with a rapidly aging population. They, absolutely rationally, jump at the option of cheaper energy import, but I would not read that as a long-term support of the Russian view of the world (which, I heard from several folks, they often despise). They pursue their own agenda. My 2c.
> I said basic git hosting... I have no need for any of CICD pipline, or issue tracking features.

My point is that it makes no sense to adopt any third-party git hosting service is all you want to do is have a git repo somewhere, thus it makes no sense to complain about how a service is expensive when you do not have any reason to use the service to begin with. Services like GitHub or GitLab or BitBucket or AWS CodeCommit are pointless if all you need is a remote repo somewhere. Complaining that GitLab is expensive when you only need a git repo is like complaining that Netflix is expensive when you only need a screen saver.
The actually existing Lisp Machines from the past typically run compiled code. The instructions generated usually were a bit higher level (more dynamic) than that of a typical CPU. The obfuscation is not that strong then. I saw commercial software which came only in a compiled version.

If Cuba decides to align itself with the USSR, then it has the right to do so. Same as Ukraine has the right to align with the West rather than Russia.

>There should be no countries aligned with the US military within a very wide margin of Russia

Why, just because Russia wants that, so that it's free to invade it's neighbors? People in Eastern Europe do want to be part of NATO for a simple reason - not to have to worry about their big neighbor deciding that it's time for a "liberation". This is not about aggression, this is about not being invaded.
The fed fund rate won't, but increasing mortgage rates will. The fed is set to roll off their MBS holdings this month (starting tomorrow iirc), which should increase mortgage rates. People won't be able to afford homes at these maxed out prices when adding on the increase of interest rates, so home sellers will be forced to lower prices.

High interest rates and lower home prices is a much better position to be in than vice versa.

could achieve something similar a bit different way - by using Linux nftables ( new iptables ) netfilter interface. I have setup like this for measuring used traffic by certain daemons running under specific user:

table inet raw {
...
counter postgre_tcp_traffic_out {
packets 0 bytes 0
}
...
chain output {
...
meta l4proto tcp skuid postgres counter name "postgre_tcp_traffic_out" notrack
...
}
}

and then view it like this:

nft -j list counters | jq '.'
...
"counter": {
"family": "inet",
"name": "postgre_tcp_traffic_out",
"table": "raw",
"handle": 20,
"packets": 255,
"bytes": 17694
}
...

Since nft -j outputs JSON it can easily then be ingested back into Postgres and indexed. I personally use it together with zabbix to count per second differences in values. It needs some more work because netfilter can match packets by UID/GID only for output, input then has to be matched by destination port, 5432 in case of postgres.
What I think you miss is that mastery is really just a proxy value for what we really value.

Suppose I'm an artist, with something I feel I want to say, something I want to share with the world. How can I convince you to listen to me, when there's a thousand other people you could listen to? Especially about big issues like what's worthwhile in life.

Well, one way is commitment. Supposedly, Sophie Germain decided as a child to study mathematics because she read the story about Archimedes, who was so obsessed about his circles that he got killed over it. Clearly, Archimedes had found something that really mattered to him, and if Sophie studied it, maybe she would find that meaning too?

So likewise, as an artist I can convince you to take a look by being really dedicated, practicing the craftsmanship side of what I do so that no one can convincingly say they do it better. That doesn't guarantee that what I say is worthwhile to you, but it's at least an indication it was worthwhile to me.

But you know, the converse is not necessarily true. Someone who wasn't the best at the craft and who didn't sacrifice everything for the opportunity to reach you, could still have something wonderful to say.

Sometimes the skill at the craft limits what you're able to say, even if what you wanted to say was great, but I think that's rarely what matters. On a technical level, there's very little that distinguishes, say, the best guitarists in the world.
"which you give no agency"

It takes two to tango. Those countries didn't promise anything to Russia, but the West did.

Hmmm, it seems to me that if an executive is reaching across the organization for that kind of thing, that's a bad sign. It means the executive doesn't trust their leadership team (in the case of a skip-level) or their peer organization (in the case of a dotted-line meeting).

That said, bad signs don't always mean bad things; as the author indicated a "Loyalty check" can range from "Just wanted to check in on how things are going and hear some detailed updates straight from the folks at the coal-face" (very healthy and normal) to "So-and-so is getting ready to betray our entire organization and I want you to plug this anonymous USB key into their computer".

I'll paste the first sentence of my first paragraph here again, it provides a good reason:

> I appreciate the one less job in maintaining self hosting... I have other things to maintain and would have happily paid with a reasonable markup.

Also you can't simultaneously argue that I have no right to use a service with which I can compete with against cost price and that I cannot possibly compete with their price. I get the sense that you have an axe to grind.

My argument is merely that the price change is excessively unreasonable for those who only wanted git hosting... and at it's core, it's a git hosting service.
