This is sort of my point. Cloudflare is essentially invisible to the users unless they exhibit markers putting them in a suspicious category. Which is fine with me as a provider. Meanwhile the switching cost for me as a site provider is effectively 0.

The only effect they can really have on the market is making everyone have to up their game to be competitive. They can't lock me in because of how the internet works. If I as a site operator want to drop them it's roughly about 10 minutes worth of work.
I'm not sure I follow your logic. If you find a bug, wouldn't that provide a reason for updating your code? What is the utility of issuing superfluous updates when you don't have any new known bugs to fix? How does doing that shift your likelihood of fixing bugs when they are found, in any direction?
Not yet but adding it to the list of ideas to implement as we add more heuristics to the tool, thank you!

Provisioned IOPS is much more expensive though, so make sure you really need it. If you use general IOPS you can monitor your burst balance. You can always start with general and then move to provisioned when you need it too.
I don’t understand your analogy. There’s no evidence that Hans didn’t cheat in the game against Magnus. This isn’t Hans’s fault, as it’s hard to imagine what such evidence could even be possible, but the fact remains that there’s nothing comparable to having the title, etc. to a car.

Inb4 he's drafted and sent to Ukraine
> JMAP seems to offer benefits only to developers.

I find this argument shortsighted. If it benefits developers then it does benefit users. Making developers' lives easier means they produce code faster (users like things done sooner), have fewer bugs in their code (users don't like buggy code), and have more time to implement other features (users like featureful software). I don't see how that doesn't benefit users.

I'm actually on the whole more interested in a TAS. I would often watch a big fraction of the TAS block at a GDQ, and only RTA for niche cases where I especially care about that game.

However, TAS is very unlikely Computer Chess because the TAS is actually a composite of a vast number of individual human player inputs - assembled by in effecting rewinding and continuing the game over and over. The TAS is not a machine beating the game, but the effect if humans played the game as well as they know how. That's why they have "sync" problems during a GDQ, the playback device has no idea how to play, it's just robotically carrying out actions.
Every translation requires interpretation. Even if you tried to do a word-for-word dictionary translation of a book, you still have to make decisions about how to handle things like idioms, metaphors, and puns that don't necessarily make sense when translated directly. A lot of translations of verse also try to keep some sort of meter in the translation, which requires even more artistic interpretation. That's only compounded with a story like Beowulf where the only known extant copy has missing sections, typos, and intentional alterations from whatever it was originally transcribed from.

>I'm not offended by it, but /if/ it can be said that prior translators kept their bias and creativity to the minimum required to maintain story and poetic elements

One thing that can be interesting to look at is the things that prior translators tried to avoid or gloss over in their translations. If you look at public domain translations from the 19th and 20th centuries, you'll see that the translators often go through great pains to avoid even a hint of sexuality or vulgarity. The most infamous example I can think of is Catullus 16, a poem that begins with the speaker threatening to insert his penis into various orifices of his rivals.

Some translations totally skipped those lines of the poem. Or partially translated them like Sir Richard Francis Burton in 1894 ("I'll . . . you twain and . . . Pathic Aurelius!"). Some liven the lines in with a bit of euphemism while still sounding clinical ("I will make you my boys and bone you, sexually submissive Aurelius"), from ET Merrill in 1893. Some translations jazz it up with literal descriptions of the actions while keeping the aggressive tone ("I'll sodomize and face-fuck you, submissive Aurelius"), some turn into steretypical Xbox Live users ("I'll push your shit in and stuff your face, Aurelius you stupid cocksucker") etc. It's also worth keeping in mind that a translation for the 19th century won't have the same impact on a modern audience as it would then, at least without additional context. e.g. Calling someone pathic would've been like using a homophobic slur back in the day.

I think Headley's translation actually does a good job of that even when it isn't so literal. "#blessed" was a bit silly. But the opening along the lines of "Bro! Back in my day, everyone knew what men were: brave, bold, glory bound, but I’ll sound the Spear-Danes’ song, hoarded for hungry times" really sets the tone of "crusty drunk dude at the bar telling you a badass and exaggerated story". Older translations just don't do that for me:

Lo, praise of the prowess of people-kings
of spear-armed Danes, in days long sped,
we have heard, and what honor the athelings won!
Backwards compatibility benefits current, and future users. I agree that "hasn't been updated" is a concern, but you can also look for "hasn't needed to be updated". If you can obtain a legal copy of 10 year old software, you can use it for the fraction of the cost of the new version.
Well, yes, it fixed it when I've discovered this function a while ago. That's just an example.

That's what I'm bitching about - discovering documentation sucks because nix-lang is a very niche language and `nixpkgs.lib` is mostly undocumented. That makes finding how to do something in it is harder compared if to any other language.

With homebrew, it's just ruby scripts. You write ruby, you can ask some ruby question from someone who never wrote a formula and get an answer because that's a general purpose language.

With guix, it's not the best, but it's still just GNU Guile, it's been around for almost 30 years. Yeah, it's probably not very popular, but it's still a general purpose language that has uses outside Guix.

I can add a CA to every modern OS with a few clicks and a password can't I? Furthermore, in a browser it's usually 2 clicks away from getting to a site with an expired TLS cert...Why can't I do similar with a eUICC in a device I paid for and own? Hint: control.

Furthermore "reject TLS certificates" implies rejecting a useful security mechanism as a whole...eSIM provides no further security mechanism to a [p]SIM as far as LTE/5G security goes... ie. MILENAGE etc. The only added security of an eSIM is that it adds security to big telcos subscriber revenue and makes them sticky as providers. It's a big telco cartel and if you ain't in it you're dependent on them at the very least.

You’re misunderstanding things. CSS is typed, and deg/rad/grad/turn are all just angle units; anything that takes an <angle> supports angles in any unit. hsl(0.5turn 100% 50%) is equivalent to hsl(180deg 100% 50%) and #00ffff (and infinite other spellings).

When it was introduced, hsl() only took a <number> for hue, which was interpreted as degrees, but it has had proper <angle> support for over a decade (apart from Opera which only got it with the switch to Chromium in 2013). The current state of affairs is `<hue> = <number> | <angle> | none` (https://drafts.csswg.org/css-color-4/#hue-syntax), and <hue> is used by hsl(), hsla(), hwb(), lch() and oklch().

Perhaps the communication process varies a bit then. The only situations I've ever encountered or heard of come in the form of "X units". E.g., After starting you might be assigned 1000 RSUs that vest in two years. At the two year point when you receive them you're given the $ value and often (not always) the company will automatically withhold the portion necessary to cover the taxes that will come due that year.

I've never heard of RSU grants that might vary with market price where the person did not know 1) That any $ amount quoted was based on the current market price of the stock; 2) The actual # of RSUs being granted; 3) That when they vested their value would be dependent on the stock value at that time.

I know sometimes grants are made in the fashion of "10% of your base salary". But whenever the grant value might vary with market price I'd be very surprised if the actual # of RSU's was not information available to the employees. Even if the company dropped the ball in a compensation notice & didn't explicitly state the # of RSU's, that is still information that would almost definitely be included within the employee's compensation section in the company's HR portal.
Wow, I was expecting closer to 10%, which would still have been a ton of money ($84-90M depending on if it's of the Fed cut or total). 28-30% is huge.
I've always wondered if anti-psychotics were worth it for the populations taking them. Seems like a shitty choice -- dull/blunt the mind with questionable near-poison or experience the full 'richness' of a mind that society finds maladaptive.

On Hikaru's YouTube channel today he posted a video about today's developments [1]. In the later part of that video ran some software that used Stockfish to analyze that game and show percentage of moves where each player made the top engine move.

Magnus only matched the top engine move 43% of the time, which is quite low for a super-GM. Hikaru said he'd bet money that it was Magnus' worst performance in any game in the last 3 years.

This kind of functionality is required, for at least one reason: public access to computers in public libraries. So long as some government services can only be accessed online, you will need access to private email accounts from publicly available computers.

Oh man, the emotion that comes up for me from PS2 is "anger", since that's what the emotion engine produced in me.

The PS2 had lots of really tricky quirks to deal with. First, VU0 (IIRC, could be the other one) had really limited means of transferring data, and you'd have to stall the CPU to do it, making it very difficult to get any real use out of it. VU1's access to gfx was handy, though.

Next up, the framebuffer operations in the GS (Graphics Synthesizer) were limited to a single function with four terms. The most common blending function you'd want to use (src * src_alpha) + dst * (1 - src_alpha) was simply not possible. In real terms, this means you could not blend things into the framebuffer based on alpha transparency, so you had to do lots of tricks. Ever noticed how shadow casters in PS2 games were always casting pitch black shadows? It's because you could squash to black, but couldn't modulate existing color.

The "scratch pad" was effectively L2 cache that you controlled yourself, and it was critical to manage it properly to get any performance out of the cpu. This was quite tricky.

This era of console games was very interesting. The PS2 was frustrating, while the GameCube was a bit easier, but just as frustrating. Matrix math in the GameCube was limited to 4x3, not the normal 4x4. The last row was fixed to the unit W vector. This means you could not project - ever notice how shadows on GameCube games are little smooth ovals? It's because without the ability to project, you could not render a model as a shadow. Gamecube was also weird in that it had little main memory, but a whole lot of audio memory, so you'd write a paging engine which would use audio memory as general purpose, by swapping stuff in and out of it.

Then came the XBox. It had Visual Studio and you wrote code as you would for a PC. You could even debug in a debugger, not printouts! It was glorious.

There are a lot of possibilities, mainly if the cheater has help from someone outside who has information about the game. It's enough to transmit a signal in critical position that something is there.In past, player refused to take off his shoes. Other one has friends who sit in particular order. From other discussions

* a hair of defined length placed in a bowl or glass of water and vibrations at the resonant frequency of that hair would produce visible ripples around the hair.
* distant noise such as car horns honking, bass from a passing vehicle blasting dubstep, construction noise, etc.
* laser beam through the window visible only with particular contact lenses
* a bone-induction speaker or thumper (vibrating device) embedded in them or replacing a tooth
* thumpers that can be put inside the soles of shoes that would not be detectable with a regular metal detector

My impression is that the technology is there. If the incentives are high enough, someone can find the way.
I skimmed the paper, but the premise makes sense in some scenarios. I don't think unikernels have quite taken off as they were hyped a few years ago, but in general, micro VMs are quite more usable nowadays.

I recently gave Firecracker a try, via the friendlier interface of Ignite[1], and was pleasantly surprised how quick it was to start a VM from a Docker image, and how little resources it used. The UX is pretty much on par with Docker, yet gives much more flexibility, control, and of course, security.

I wish there was a competitor to QubesOS that uses KVM, and is a bit friendlier and more polished. Is there such a distro?

I see a lot of responses to this comment, especially these lines:

> Transparency is not your job.

> You're job is to keep telling your reports that everything is on track no matter what

> This will 100% require lying or being non-transparent at some point.

To add my 2 cents I kind of agree. When I first got into management, I didn't realise how many fires they were, or priorities I needed to balance. Initially I thought "there shouldn't be this many fires" but I soon realised that that was my job, to put them out, escalate when required, etc all while making sure the ship is steady and doing it with a smile on my face.

Some examples include:

- News that a sales person has sold a huge project which will save the company, but we can't deliver or build with our current backlog / resources

- One key team member has been taking a lot of doctor's appointments recently - and suspect they might be quitting / job hunting

- There's a very obscure security issue which could be fatal if discovered, but is a huge task which will disrupt a project which is already delayed and over budget

If I ran into any of these when I first started I would have freaked out - and that would have disrupt my team as they couldn't be productive with that anxiety over their heads.

Instead I just had to be confident that I could put out those fires, or put in place strategies to mitigate them, and let the team know it's all under control.

Of course if something was too big to handle I'd escalate, or if something blew up I'd take responsibility etc - but I think job #1 in management is to shield the team from distractions and let them do what they're best at doing.

Yes messages can change after syncing. Using mbsync for example, if you change the contents of an email locally, there are no ways to detect the change. I guess the preferred solution may be to do a more generic sync directly from the mail server and bypass IMAP entirely.. not possible with most email providers like Gmail, Microsoft, etc. Hopeful to setup my own email server someday.
Consequently browsers available in public places probably shouldn't save any kind of information, except possibly for any open tabs.

Not sure if any browser has such an option.
Responding to my own comment because I'm just thinking about this a little more.

I think it's very much the reason why God/tradition "appoints the king/queen". - The age old tradition is larger than any individual's life, and theoretically keeps the "dictator" in line (as long as we all respect that tradition).

If there is a new period of change with a new leader then anything is possible, subject to human motivations.

>It's understandable in terms of roots of -1.

You seem to have missed the point. You need the formula I gave to rigorously compute the roots of -1. Of course, you could notice that (cos(x) + i sin(x))^n = cos(nx) + i sin(nx), but that's what I meant by "going in circles". You end up defining (-1)^x in terms of sines and cosines, making the "formula" trivial. It's difficult, working this way, to understand why (-1)^(1/3) is (1 + isqrt(3))/2 and not just -1.

By contrast, the Bernoulli formula is actually computable. In fact, the CORDIC algorithm corresponds quite closely to computing the Bernoulli formula by repeated squaring. The use of arctan(2^(-n)) is just like taking (1 + i2^(-n))^(2^n).

There's a reason why math is structured the way it is.
> Those things that ossified TCP, though, are also many of the reasons that QUIC can't compete with TCP and that TCP is inherently special on the modern internet as one of only two "approved" protocols and something of a "last man standing" even among them.

If anything, the fact that a billion crappy unadjustable unmoving assumptions arent built into QUIC seems like an obvious win. TCP itself has a bunch of modern re-spins on what traffic control might possibly be better (bbr2 being a recent notable), yet there's so many legacy systems which already impeded progress & growth & basic modernization...

Conversely with QUIC, Broken shitty networking gear is about to get found out & replaced, when the modern QUIC internet takes over the vast majority of traffic & is just better. The "smart" middleboxes have long been more problems than aids, & their ancient cruft auto-magic is more hinderances in most places than than help.

Dropping & throttling UDP better will be a fine middleground, one where middleboxes have less control, but the end to end rather than hop to hop to hop protocol will adapt better.
