I may be being dumb here, but why not make a simple demo site the first qualification hurdle? I mean the only thing SaaS users care about is the saas system - give them a hand on version - I mean people are going to lie anyway about the qualification questions (do you have the budget? I mean who says no?)

Just slip the qualification questions into the "wizard" - he w many user accounts shall we create?
no, but a lot of people here are just hellbent on "conserving" a glass of water at a restaurant, even though human consumption is almost negligible compared to agriculture. I guess it makes them feel like they are making an impact. And yes, they do get very angry if anyone questions the logic behind that behavior.
I also rely on it for copy pasting purposes but if you have :set number enabled you might, the numbers may get in your way.
This is where I find myself using :set invnumber that I have mapped to F2 so I can quickly get rid of them.
It's definitely possible, but there are no drivers released by the GPU manufacturers. They may simply not see any benefit of making such an investment, and they might point a finger at Apple for not allowing them the ease of development using kernel access (they would have to make a DEXT or something like that). It's also likely that there isn't really much of a market for it anymore.
In their testing they tested the Logitech MK270, which is a mouse and keyboard combo. It uses the Unifying Reciver.
Don't ask my why (because I certainly don't agree personally) but most people I know prefer wireless anything if they can, because they can't stand cables.

But then I have a 32 channel mixer with cables everywhere in my office, so not the most unbiased cable-opinionator directly.
Post videos cheering the death of US soldiers in the invasion Iraq and you will get demonetized just as fast. It's not about moral equivalency between Russia and Ukraine, it's that advertisers still don't want to be associated with that stuff. So why would Google monetize the channel?

(And by the way there's a massive difference between biaised news, and posting what is basically snuff content... Advertisers have no issue rolling ads on CNN even when it covers wars, but there's a reason why they don't broadcast gore/graphical content.)
So you don't have to travel with both your Switch and your Steamdeck. So you can play games at higher resolution and fps than the Switch. So people can make playthough and tips/tricks videos of Switch games without needing to buy a capture card. So you can use game mods without jailbreaking your switch.

I’d be curious to know what the orchestration platform looks like for running 300,000 nodes and 1,000s of clusters.
No I am 100% correct. FMVSS requires stability control. It is impossible to meet that regulatory requirement without computers. And that's just one example, there are others. Read the rules.

Besides safety rules, new vehicles are also legally required to meet stringent emissions and fuel economy requirements. As a practical matter that also requires computers.

How is this not the right tool? Where on DALLE-2 website does it say that it should not be used for artistic graphs?

Yes, we all have seen badly generated graphs from DALLE-2 before, so it feels like this is an obviously limitation of AI image generation tools. But why should this be such an obvious thing to absolutely everyone?
We’re still very far off from that and trending away from using more land in developed countries.
I actually use both (though I use hop more often). I use hop to find a specific line, but leap (or lightspeed) to jump to a specific character.
> - no state (which also means no memory leaks),

Ehh, what? Sessions are state.

> - just drop a file on web server and it works (no crazy CI pipeline)

Except when I have to set-up php-fpm, opcache and configure countless parameters in php.ini.

> - the documentation is fantastic,

Yes, but I still have to check it for useless constructs like "mysql_real_escape_string" vs "mysql_escape_string" which should have never existed in the first place.

PHP didn't earn its reputation without a reason. But I'm glad to hear that certain things are improving.
Absolutely true. I am a serial expat who has lost numerous numbers over the years by switching countries. I at least hope to keep the same basic online services running when crossing borders, but I swear, in the last couple of years, it has become an absolute nightmare. It is getting harder and harder.

Empires might not be the places with the highest per capita productivity. E.g. the Netherlands had the highest (estimated) GDP per capita in Europe (and probably the world) between the early 1500's and 1800.

Not sure about ancient Greece, I would assume that craftsmen wages in the Low Countries must have been significantly higher by the late middle ages.

It works fine on Intel Macs with supported hardware, but after a bit no new updates came for newer GPUs and because the corporate relation between Apple and Nvidia got shot to the around the 8600/8800 GPU series debacle, the only eGPUs that work on macOS on Intel were AMD gpus.

You could run Windows and use GPUs there, but on ARM that's a different story, there don't seem to be any Windows or macOS drivers at all, except for Linux.

So would it work hardware-wise? Yep. But no official software is being made to do it because none of the parties that could are incentivised to do so.
This is awesome. Is there a way to get it to work with e.g. dataclasses-sql? I am thinking of something such as

stuff: list[mydataclass]
sql_val^ "select * from stuff where stuff.field = 2"

over any kind of 'fmappable' container; perhaps eg.

stuff: dict[int, mydataclass]
stuff2: dict[int, mydataclass]

sql_val^ "select (s2.val, s.key) from stuff as s, stuff2 as s2 where s.key > s2.key and s2.value != s.value)"

etc
I'm using Linux Mint Debian Edition 5, and recommend it. It has the deep sensibility of Linux Mint, but it's _not_ based off Ubuntu. The Cinnamon desktop in LMDE5 has much more polish than Debian 11's Cinnamon desktop, which I also tried and hated within 2 hours (the user management - namely adding additional users who don't inherit the group memberships they sensibly should - is hot garbage).

I would theorize that it was less detected prior to WW1, for obvious reasons.

That aside, life expectancy, afaik, includes new born illnesses, childhood illness and so on, and then as adults there were occupational related deaths. Those brought down the average then.

Did those who survived all those risks live as long as we do today? IDK. But there has to be data to figure that out, as the raw life expectancy then v now is likely misleading.
You could be forgiven for misunderstanding the intent of my first comment, and it could probably have been more artfully phrased to help avoid that misunderstanding. But I’m struggling to see how you’re not now intentionally misrepresenting my second comment.

I’m not “clutching my pearls”, about anything. The first sentence of my first comment was meant—and only meant—as context for why my observations in the rest of that paragraph were a recent surprise rather than expecting my search would be fruitless. The rest of the paragraph, and the rest of the comment, could well stand on its own without that first sentence, apart from likely confusing readers about why I was window shopping on Amazon with the intent to buy products elsewhere.

The point of my comment was that Amazon’s interest in its consumer retail business is mostly in service of its other business pursuits, not a primary pursuit in itself.

My second comment clarifies that my ethical standards do apply to workers in developing countries, acknowledging that my available options as an individual electronics consumer are more limited, and that my choices are hypocritical nonetheless. I also alluded to other efforts I take to minimize my impact on those workers, but unless you’re one of those workers I don’t owe you an explanation of those efforts.

It’s possible I’ve misjudged your response, but my impression is that you’ve intentionally misinterpreted my clarification to bolster an argument that applying one’s personal values inconsistently is invalid. And there are several philosophical perspectives which would agree with that point or would at least raise the question. My philosophical perspective as applies to this thread is much more utilitarian: it’s better that I exercise my values incompletely thank not at all.

The reality is that the hypocrisy rebuttal to individual consumer choice tends to be used not to prompt more consistently good behavior, nor even to engage in thoughtful discussion about what a more moral framework of behavior would be. It’s used as a bludgeon to stifle discussion of one wrong by inserting it into a hierarchy of wrongs. In some of my past political circles, this was referred to as Oppression Olympics.

In those same circles, there’s another pertinent phrase: there’s no ethical consumption under capitalism. The point of the phrase isn’t to excuse avoidable unethical behavior, but to acknowledge that some ethical behaviors are systemically unavailable to individual consumers.

The hypocrisy rebuttal demands, at least implicitly, either total asceticism or total nihilism. And it tends to encourage the latter because they’re equally ineffective and asceticism is more detrimental to any future prospects of becoming effective.

But like I said, it’s possible I’ve misunderstood your intent. If you’d like to recommend more ethical ways for me to buy electronics, I’m happy to engage further. Otherwise I’m done here.
Agreed; the ISP is paid by an adult, adult paid for computer/tv/ect, and its the adult to state when said child can operate such equipment.
Last I'm aware said adults dont let children watch TV completely unrestricted (having an adult locking adulty-content). It should be up to parent/guardian to oversee what kid is doing and lock them out, with younger kids getting more supervised attention. Keep our IDs/PII/phonenumbers out of browsing the web.

We could go a step further by banning highly accurate fingerprinting and make things nice n generic; hopefully making ads as generic as the wonderful ads as-seen-on-tv.

Seems like this kind of radio chip would be standard pin out in 2022. Could you not just put one of those chips like Broadcom makes that has all the radio formats on it? Even sell it as a "kit" so that it comes with it but you have to install yourself to meet "regulations" or licensing terms. The first gen of Thunderbolt add-on came as PCIe due to some sort licensing issue instead of on the mobo directly

Also why defaulting to hooking up mothers in labour to continuous monitoring is a bad idea. Better, unless something else is medically called for, to check in at sparser intervals instead.

Also a good reason not to get these "breathing monitors" for infants, again, unless medically indicated.
HIPAA aside, this is PII under the GDPR and fits the definition of "health information" which (like political affiliations, religion, etc) is given special protections under the GDPR. Typical social media profiles are actually a minefield.

Then again, a ton of practices described in the article are probably blatant violations of the GDPR like scraping LinkedIn to track the titles and job changes of champions. I guess a PII request under the GDPR would include data stored in Salesforce, which would make the result fairly awkward depending on what information sales people decide to keep in there.

Given that I've seen companies having to explain to sales people that they can't just repurpose dodgy e-mail lists for direct sales outreach without having any records suggesting the victi-... err... "prospects" consented to that use, I wouldn't be surprised if most sales teams are violating the GDPR left and right on a daily basis.

1:1 scale multiplayer world maps have existed for decades, e.g. in Microsoft Flight Simulator.

The difficulty of making a "large" map comes from what you want to simulate and in how much detail, not from how big it is per se.
I'm trying to do the same. How do I make a kinda pretty frontend without much effort though
Found this on a deep man page, but I can't remember which one:

Our units of temporal measurement, from seconds on up to months, are so complicated, asymmetrical and disjunctive so as to make coherent mental reckoning in time all but impossible. Indeed, had some tyrannical god contrived to enslave our minds to time, to make it all but impossible for us to escape subjection to sodden routines and unpleasant surprises, he could hardly have done better than handing down our present system. It is like a set of trapezoidal building blocks, with no vertical or horizontal surfaces, like a language in which the simplest thought demands ornate constructions, useless particles and lengthy circumlocutions. Unlike the more successful patterns of language and science, which enable us to face experience boldly or at least level-headedly, our system of temporal calculation silently and persistently encourages our terror of time.
... It is as though architects had to measure length in feet, width in meters and height in ells; as though basic instruction manuals demanded a knowledge of five different languages. It is no wonder then that we often look into our own immediate past or future, last Tuesday or a week from Sunday, with feelings of helpless confusion. ...
--Robert Grudin, 'Time and the Art of Living'.
This is why new frameworks are created. Someone gets upset over X, in this case complexity, and then creates something to fix the situation. That's why React came to be. The incompatibilities between frontends made it hard to produce a good product so eventually we get what we have.

The fix is to reevaluate and start over. That's way harder than continuing to use what's available so things continue as they have been.

I haven't used React for a while but it definitely made developing for different browsers much easier but it you wanted to do a simple app it was way harder to use it. It all comes down to what you are creating and reaching for the right tool.
That's a pretty huge violation of layer isolation.

This is a good list. I did this at a medium scale once (about 10,000 feeds that needed to be checked once per minute).

My favorite thing he mentioned is that various tags can have different meanings. Published, updated, description, content, subtitle. To do this at scale you need some configurations for each feed to specify where you can get information. Does <published> mean published, or does it actually mean updated? Everyone does it differently.

And the etag thing. Yeah…

One thing he didn’t mention is media. I think the HN crowd really likes RSS because the mostly-text tech blogs they like to read all support it, and it seems to work fine. But a lot of the population likes to read content that has embedded images and videos. Even slideshows sometimes. There are RSS extensions for this, but they suck for all the same reasons.

At my company we ended up abandoning RSS and writing a customizable web scraper instead (ingesting HTML pages). It was actually a lot easier than dealing with RSS.
Yes and no.

I have been asked if staff engineers are around so that they can pick up projects noone wants to do. This entirely defeats the point of staff engineers.

I would want my staff engineering bunch to either pave the path or mentor the teams to do it themselves. Making it easier for the teams and future engineers could be a better strategy and effective multiplier.

If there is organisational mission critical software lacking any of this then it is a p0 and I would count it under high impact work rather than gardening.
Besides depending on company size, some of those responsibilities should belong to platform teams.

Only because it's very hard to pay for switch ROMs. As gaben himself said, "Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem".

If getting switch ROMs were as easy as buying any other game on Steam, most people would probably pay, the same way most people already pay instead of pirating PC games.
Did you even read my comment.. or did you see Apple product under attack and went for me.
Sequels that share or build on characters, plot, and so on with their predecessors are definitely derivative works. (Let's ignore the literal sharing of assets and bits of code that's also common for sequels since that's obviously more straightforward, and not strictly necessary.)

Trademark definitely comes into play, and is probably the more important form of IP here in practice (and for some series may be the only really effective protection). But you still couldn't go out and make a game with Master Chief or Nathan Drake even if you called it something other than Halo or Uncharted.

Trademarks are also interesting and somewhat unique for video games: the typical rule is that the title of a book or movie, etc. is not eligible for a trademark. You need a name that's being used for a series to get a trademark. But video games are excluded from this rule and can (and almost always do) get trademarks for their titles even when they're standalones.

I do NOT want to instantly deploy to preview on a file save, and certainly not to production. And let's not even talk about working as a team.

The only situation where I can think this is useful is if you write code locally but run your "local" version on a cloud machine. But in that case it's already covered by rsync.

What am I missing?

> Previews in Reflame are accessible at the exact same URL customers will use to access the production deployment, instead of at a different subdomain for each preview (i.e. every preview is accessed through https://reflame.app instead of at https://some-branch-of-reflamedotapp.reflame-previews.dev). Behind the scenes, this is implemented using session cookies that our CDN will check to determine which version of the app to serve.

In Spanish, in informal messages, we also sometimes repeat vowels, like in a loooooooooong word. It makes more sense in Spanish because repeated vowels sound like a single vowel. But in English an "oo" sounds like a "uh" instead of "oh-oh" so it's difficult to use that trick.
