International politics are not about good guys and bad guys. The US government hates the Iranian and Cuban governments, not because they are worse than US allies like Saudi Arabia, but because they once humiliated the USA. Until 24 February 2022
Germany got along well with Russia, not because they had the same type of government, but because each had something the other needed.
I don’t think S3 won because of its protocol, but rather being the first in its kind and dominating the market. Then other vendors started competing products, and to easy transition, implemented (parts of) the S3 protocol.

You literally can't avoid it. When it comes to cars, they're already collecting data and sending it to the vendors; it's still a field in development, but it's improving fastly - both in terms of sending and of using the data.

Kind of amazing to see the contrast in quality between VSCode and Teams (both Microsoft productivity apps that are relatively new/greenfield and also Electron-based)
I’ve only ever used MinIO as a stub for S3 in development, as it seems wrong/slow to require AWS access to start up a development environment. I like that it “Just Works” for this use-case, even though that’s definitely not where they’re getting their money from.

I can never see myself using it in production unless my workplace had a no cloud policy - but I guess there’s enough companies out there with that issue that they exist.

Docker pulls is a strange metric because of these two disparate use cases. MinIO success as a company depends on the latter but pulls would be strongly correlated with the former use case.
My experience of this general approach with a Sony α6100: high and inconsistent latency (mostly 150–200ms, but sometimes towards 400ms), low resolution (1024×576), largely not hot-swappable (most apps required that the video device be created before their process began, and trying to read from it without also starting the stream would often poison things in some way, and various actions would make the pieces just stop working together until you restart all relevant processes), and interacts poorly with other similar things (e.g. I failed to get it to combine with OBS’s virtual camera output: no matter what I did, even with creating multiple devices and attempting to control which thing wrote to which, they’d still get tangled so that neither was of any use). Still, the image quality is good, considerably better than most webcams.

(It’s valuable to understand how this approach works: it’s using PTP, which supports roughly the commands “list the files you have” and “give me the file IMG0001.JPG”, and roughly thirty times a second it asks “give me the file ‹what the camera can currently see›.jpg”, and the video stream is that stream of JPEGs. Basically, this whole thing is a dreadful hack.)

By contrast, the cheap USB HDMI capture card I subsequently purchased (branded Simplecom DA315, but if you’ve looked into this stuff you’ll immediately recognise it as ODM hardware sold under a million brands) supports higher resolutions, normal latency (vastly lower), is hot-swappable, and doesn’t interfere with anything else trying to use v4l2loopback. Colour is not quite right, so I adjust it a bit on my camera. (This was something that surprised me when I first looked at HDMI capture cards: it seems that they’re all wrong, in differing amounts and directions. I do not understand why they can’t just be correct.) And there’s an aspect ratio problem where apps that request a lower resolution end up with the 16:9 image squashed to 4:3 with black bars added to the side. Not sure if this is a bug in the HDMI capture card firmware, Linux driver, or something else. As a demonstration of this, Google Meet in Firefox will get squished by default, but if I manually change its send resolution from auto (360p, I think) to 720p, it gets unsquished.

I think my issue with the UK office is that it was just too bleak and dull to be funny. I got the jokes, but it didn't make laugh, just made me kind of feel worse about life.

This is not a "UK comedy is has more flawed characters" thing either, IT Crowd, Peep Show were full of terrible, flawed, miserable human beings but there were still some drama & larger than life aspects to those shows that gave it some element of "relief". UK office has no relief, it's just pure misery.

I'd like to give it to an elderly person to listen to audiobooks:

- one easily pressed button resumes playback from last position in last played track

- one easily pressed button turns off

- physical volume knob

that would be the minimum, but you get the idea. I cannot find a single such device:
- either the player does not remember track position (that is normal for music)
- or it is a touchscreen android device with an app

Does such thing even exist? Can it be reasonably DIYed?
When my child was two, we re-watched it about once a week for several months since it was her favorite. The theory we keep debating is whether the two old ladies (the sisters) are actually the same person. Still unsettled.

I suggest you use the word “published” instead of “public”, since that will make your category problem disappear.

If I surreptitiously take private photos of you, and then I publish them on the internet against your wishes, that does not suddenly make the photos any less private.

I suspect you think logically, and you would like the words private and public to be disjoint sets, however in practice those words have overlapping meanings depending on semantics.

A public copy of private information makes sense. “The Private Life of Chairman Mao” is a published book, publically available.
Although a smartphone is a computer (and a pretty powerful one while we are at it), I see it as a communication device. It's main purpose for me is to chat and talk with other people, so I want the modem working as much as it can, or I could miss a call from my granma. Even though I can watch videos (and you could say broadcasting/streaming is a form of communication, just a simplex one) or browse the Web[0], I identify a smartphone as a communication device. That's why I miss hardware keyboards a lot!

In contrast, I see a computer as a general purpose machine. Sure, I don't turn off the WiFi of my laptop, or the router/AP from my house, but those are means to many ends. When I want to check mails on my computer, I launch Thunderbird, and when I want instant mesaaging, I use whatever program/WebApp I need.

Totally. A mapping of this bureaucracy to see how e.g. the Department of the Navy is being blocked was what I was hoping for in this article. We so often hear about the terrible controls that exist within USG for surveillance, and in parallel how the vast bureaucracy makes USG horribly inefficient and wasteful and so on. Bureaucracy as a feature to prevent (literally) unwarranted state surveillance, circumvented by the accessibility provided by surveillance capitalism. That’s a story, would read.

I believe that in 10 years, we'll look back at Rust in the kernel and see it as a big disaster. Some people will blame the kernel team (they didn't adopt Rust well enough), and some will blame Rust itself (writing a non-toy kernel in it hasn't been tried before).

But heck, we should TRY it. So I'm glad this is finally happening.

No, ETF liquidity works the same as USDT. If you hold USDT you can easily sell it for USDC and redeem that to cash through Coinbase. USDT has liquidity against the dollar and large market makers arbitrage that with their ability to mint and redeem Tether - exactly the same way an ETF works. When you sell an ETF your counterparty is some market maker who is probably making a few bps between the price you sell it for and the NAV of those shares.

USDT is clearly more liquid than an ETF, as well- while stock markets are open less than 20% of the time, crypto trades 24/7. 3pool has over $500M of USDT liquidity at a minuscule 1bps fee. So for all intents and purposes it’s worth a dollar and more easily redeemable than an ETF.

I feel like I’m on that track these days. In the last 2 years or so I’ve maintained my passion for my work and the aspects of it I feel are a craft, but I’ve gradually begun feeling much less urgent about it and far more interested in feeling good about what I’m doing and how I do it.

I went from scrambling to fit things in, terrible sleep, never fitting in exercise, eating poorly, not seeing family enough, etc… To getting only slightly less done in what feels like half the time, sleeping better than I have since my early teens, eating better than I have in my life, enjoying a ritual of sunrise walks and pre-sunrise runs, vacationing more, diving more, tending to hobbies, spending more time with my family…

I know it sounds cheesy as hell but I read a lot of stoic philosophy a few years ago and I think it made something click. I’d read bits and pieces before, I certainly wasn’t a stranger to the philosophy, but reading a few pieces in particular pertaining to time and the limitations of control in life really resonated with me. The more I thought about it, the more I read and reread it, the more it has seemed to guide my behaviour. I’m not a Stoic by any measure, but I’m grateful for what I’ve taken from it.

Assuming "why does the Chinese government hate a free Taiwan?" is a real question, because Taiwan is where the survivors of the Chinese Nationalist government went after they lost the civil war with the Communists (and Communists and Nationalists kept kidnapping and murdering each other after that date), and because Chinese Communist Party ideology emphasizes unifying all Chinese.

See also the CCP's crackdown on democracy in Hong Kong. Hong Kong was another place where Chinese people lived with independent courts, a free press, and multiple parties and the CCP was not satisfied.

You outed yourself. "democratic- and republican-leaning" would have been correct.

Neither one. A web server or client is a high level construct that isn’t necessary for two devices on a network to connect. One can get down to the TCP or UDP level and transfer data between two devices in both directions.
Oh, that's not what got Facebook big. You can stroke your ego in emails or blogs or on forums.

What made Facebook great was that it encouraged users to share personal information (including pictures and bio items) and then made it easy for everyone to anonymously take part of this information.

You could look at pictures of your crush in cute outfits or co-workers in embarrassing situations. You could read about the layoff your ex' new partner had to endure. You could see where the cool kids had their coffee. All of this at any time of day, and nobody but you would know that you knew.

It's the ultimate low-key stalking tool and it was designed this way from the start, because early on they understood that's what people want.

I don't remember the exact quote but I do know one of the early decisions was that photos ought to be open by default and you shouldn't be able to tell who has looked at them -- in contrast to many other social networks at the time.
That's the natural state of affairs.

VC just means venture capital. It's a generic thing. Any capitalist - in our society, anyone - can supply venture capital; they just have to have enough.

If anything is unnatural, it's thinking of VC as something gatekept and for the elite, as opposed to a generic function which can be fulfilled by millions.

Webb has two main cameras, NIRCAM for near-infrared, MIRI for mid-infrared. MIRI is lower resolution because it's looking at longer wavelengths.

This image is from NIRCAM, so it's the highest res Webb can do. Neptune is small in the image because it's very far away. The images you see of detailed nebulae are so high res because, even though they're further away, those nebulae are enormous.

Idempotency.

You're inserting a VM with a specific name. If you try to create the same resource twice, the GCE control plane reports that as a conflict.

What they're doing here would be roughly equivalent to supplying the time to the AWS RunInstances API as an idempotency token.

(I work on GCE, and asked an industry friend at AWS about how they guarantee idempotency for RunInstances).

> Under the new policy, police can access up to 24 hours of live video of outdoor footage from private surveillance cameras owned by individuals or businesses without a warrant as long as the camera's owner allows it.
Ignoring the fact that the results are probably partially flawed due to methodology (see top-level comment from someone who works on GCE) and are not reproducible due to missing information, pointing out the lack of a guarantee is not hand-waving. The OP uses the word "reliability" to catch attention, which certainly worked, but this has nothing to do with reliability.

I always enjoy rereading the review Roger Ebert wrote when he added Spirited Away to his Great Movies list [1]. He touches on a similar point, about how the movie all feels like a gift:

>The story of "Spirited Away" has been populated with limitless creativity. Has any film ever contained more different kinds of beings that we have never seen anywhere before? Miyazaki's imagination never rests. There is a scene where the heroine and her companion get off a train in the middle of a swamp. In the distant forest they see a light approaching. This turns out to be an old-fashioned light pole that is hopping along on one foot. It bows to them, turns, and lights the way on the path they must take. When they arrive at a cottage, it dutifully hangs itself above the gate. The living light pole is not necessary. It is a gift from Miyazaki.

Also an amateur linguist, and you could be right, the pattern is similar to AAVE. Somewhat related, I was recently listening to a ton of YouTube videos that go through the differences in pronunciation of German spoken by those in Bavaria and those elsewhere, and the dropping of certain consonant sounds in “Bavarian German” seems familiar.

Note: not fluent yet, please if you speak German correct me if my depiction is not accurate. “Bavarian German” does seem to drop a lot of the condiment sounds, and also seems to drift closer to Latin in some ways, but I haven’t had time to actually look into that.
