I have no issues with the Elgato Cam Link 4K on my setup: M1 Pro <-> Dell WD19TB <-> Cam Link <-> Sony camera.

The dock is also connected to a 1440p@240 monitor and a 1080p@60 monitor, so the capture card is not the only device taking bandwith from the USB bus.

EDIT: Now that I remember, sometimes the cam link gets very hot and freezes, not only with my M1 but also with a Dell laptop running linux. Maybe your problem is related to running the capture card at high temperatures.
Yes, I want people to justify their complex policy positions that have far-reaching consequences, here in a comment. Why else are we on this forum? It's not like I'm asking people to justify that two and two make four.

Heat waves, wildfires, melting permafrost and sea ice, stronger storms -- OK, that's fine, I'm not disputing that these things are happening. But what is the human toll of these things compared against the literal billions of lives uplifted from terrible poverty in the global fossil fuel-based capitalist(ish) economy? That is the question I keep asking and to which I never seem to get a clear answer.

The time, effort, and resources we spend on de-carbonizing the global economy (or whatever other mitigation efforts are being studied and suggested) are time, effort, and resources that have alternative uses that could also benefit humanity. I wish to examine those alternative uses and the marginal cost at each level of mitigation. What I keep getting instead are categorical assertions that we are all doomed (literally, as in civilizational collapse) if we don't repent our ways and not much more than vague handwaving that renewable energy will be cheaper, more abundant, and easier to use.

I want an answer to the question: how do we bring the roughly half of the world living on a few bucks a day to first-world living standards? As a commenter put it so eloquently elsewhere, how do we ensure that Bangladeshis and Pakistanis can live like Texans? Because relieving human suffering is my goal.
We couldn't get people to wear a simple mask.

Drying less? You have politicians that would attack you for even suggesting that.

We've been trying to talk about climate for a long time.

Clearly, a good portion of the country doesn't care.
matthias here. damn ninjas are cutting onions again. thanks a lot for your kind words, it was an incredible team effort over the last years to create this. we simply hope that the community is going crazy with the data. and there is one more, even bigger thing, we will announce soon. so if this data amazed you, buckle up!
Single servers now. We are considering to move to flexible server or just database as a service (non-server)
Worked fine on Firefox on Ubuntu, but Edge on my work windows laptop wasn't so happy.
On the other hand the way the interfaces are layered is not ideal, because the implications of e.g. `removeFirst` and `removeLast` for an arraylist are very different from a linked list.

Or getLast on an arraylist (or doubly linked list) versus singly linked.

This looks really helpful, favouriting so I can read it more carefully later.
I'm not able to parse the bit about "the EU restricting innovation by forcing chargers". What kind of chargers are we talking about?
I hope we will jail and permanently ban anyone who spread these lies about vaccines from social media and any public office. It is least we can do to fight against their crimes and the evil they did. As society we can't let these monsters go without consequences.
Realistically if you care about privacy and owning your stuff you'd go with one of the many open-source options. Especially if you have to bring your own syncing anyway.
It'd be weird for an ERP system to go through an upgrade without consultants from the vendor (Epicor) or a 3rd party systems integrator to handle the hands-on-keyboard part of the work. In a normal situation I'd expect your role to be that of a smart phone directory, able to get hold of the right people when the Epicor techs need to talk to someone.

It's also strange that you haven't been involved in calls with the vendor or any of the planning meetings that should have been going on over the last few months. See if you can find out what the actual plan for the upgrade is.

Maybe there isn't one. This could be a seat of the pants operation and you could be about to walk into a total clusterfuck. That said, DO NOT LEAVE! There are no repercussions for you, the intern. You could walk over and pull the plug out mid install and it'd still be your bosses fault for leaving an intern in full charge of anything more important than the spare coffee maker. You have a ringside seat to a fantastic learning opportunity here - you cannot lose. Enjoy the ride, keep a diary, use your head, do your best. Best case: you're a savior (enjoy the $5 Arbees gift voucher). Worst case: the upgrade is delayed by a week, your lazy boss gets canned, and everyone else views you with a mixture of sympathy and respect and you get onto a new team.
Yes, it's kind of a long article. It's also one of the best analyses I've ever read of our current mental health treatment situation, whether you agree with the final paragraph or not. Save it for later if you don't have time now.

I was particularly drawn in by the idea of the Soteria approach [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soteria_(psychiatric_treatment...].
I too had issues with the Elgato on a MacBook. But it’s a piece of shit and a pain in the ass on the PC as well for me. Hate that thing with a passion.

We also bought several cheaper generic ones and they work/don’t work just as often as the Elgato.

That being said, we switch around our setup a lot, and we juggle multi-can streams.

¯\_(ಠ_ಠ)_/¯
his mention of the disintegration loops is the first time i’ve thought about them in like 15 years probably but i used to listen to them a lot before bed. can’t wait to listen again and see what memories come up.
I agree with your commentary along the lines of o tempora o mores, when you could argue the pattern remains largely the same.

In a more practical way though, some new things are good, some new thing are bad. It makes sense to adopt good stuff and cut off the bad. Deck? Mostly good. Requiring phone number to play a game? Bad. Naturally, it is a very subjective process and we are bound to disagree on details.

Not that long ago a family member tried to use the same argument used here ( its a generational thing; old people just hate new stuff ) when trying to convince that Venmo is actually good as I was trying to gently indicate that maybe a payment system that by default announces to the world[1] I just spent X on Y may not be the best thing since sliced bread. Working near that space I was amused, but each to their own ( and I certainly am not going to tell the guy how to raise his kids ).

> The only thing that could make that tough is if you put the Lambdas in a VPC. That can get tricky because you have to plan out subnets and whatnot but still not a week.

Yeah, it’s about 20 minutes if you use the VPC and Lambda modules from https://github.com/terraform-aws-modules. I could see a week if you had to learn all of this first with little prior experience but that’s true of everything. A newbie running a Linux colo server isn’t going to get all of the security & reliability issues right in less time, either.
Good point. I totally forgot about that dynamic. I now recall that by the time I got an invite I was already kind of sour on them. Not that I was actually excited to join, I just didn't like them inducing in me a feeling of being not one of the cool kids.

Erdoğan has seen how well government sponsored misinformation has worked in Russia and is a little jealous. Much easier to win elections when you control the message. Then, eventually just stop having elections.
OK but the accurate information about turkey lately is not particularly flattering, so what gives? They'll jail their own propagandists?
>This may be true but if kind of pointless as an api on localist isn’t very useful unless you’re automating your home. Of course it’s easier to hack something out on localhost than to design for actual users.

When did developing software on your own machine stop meaning "design for actual users"?

You should have a strong and reliable deployment for production, yes. But not being able run a baby instance locally just as easily means sacrificing your development loop.
"We expect our team to be fully dedicated to EFX and have one role …their job at EFX," Begor wrote in a recent company-wide email, a copy of which was obtained by Insider. "I am sure you are as disappointed as I am."

I kinda doubt that :)
Relax, take it one hour/day at a time. Try to build a list of people you can contact for support if needed, I imagine you and your boss aren't the entire IT team. If something happens and you get stuck call someone, its ok (especially as an intern) to say 'I don't know I need some help' especially if something is on fire. Try to find or define a plan of what's going to happen, eg at X time someone will start the roll out then x & y should happen and finally z means success.

Above all else:
If your boss knowingly left a junior employee to do something with 0 training or guidance, any fuckups are on the boss. Don't beat yourself up about it, life will happen and you will get through it.
In the case of Free Pascal, may I remind you that there is a fully featured IDE called Lazarus which offers all of that plus an intuitive user experience (i.e. you don't have to memorize all the keystrokes before you can be productive, you can find the available commands in them menu and if you use one particular command a lot, you can memorize the keyboard shortcut) and a graphical tool to build your UI and connect it to your code.
Everything is in the eyes of the law. Porn is in the eyes of the law too. As is violent speech and terrorism.

We steer clear of laws that are dubious and ambiguous because they can be leveraged whimsically or loopholed.

But ignoring threats to full democracy (disinformation) is just as dangerous, if not more dangerous.
I’m not the sales guy. I’m not here to do sales talking points.

I’m going to speak from an on the ground hands on keyboard implementation person.

AWS offers plenty of hosted versions of open source solutions and API compatible services like DocumentDB with Mongo compatibility.

If I’m working with a customer that prefers the open source solution and there is an equivalent on AWS, I’m going to suggest that. My goal is never to introduce too much new technology to an organization unless there is a compelling need.

I’ve recommended everything from a straight lift and shift, to hybrid, to full on all in on AWS depending on the use case. I’m not dogmatic and I’ve never been told “get the customer all in on our services so we can lock them in”. I’ve implemented pure AWS CI/CD solutions, integrated with Azure DevOps, done lift and shifts with Jenkins, etc.

I’m judged completely by outcomes and whether the customer is satisfied.

But I’ve been railing against worrying about “lock-in” wat before coming to AWS. I’ve been part of numerous large scale migrations and implementations. If you’re at any scale, you’re always both technically and organizationally “locked in” to your infrastructure choices and migrating involves, dealing with CxOs, PMO, retraining, security, regressions, etc. It’s usually much easier to just have a conversation with your account manager.
I mean look at the twin fiascos of covid and Trump. People are all in favour of censorship when it suits them.
Oracle employs some pretty serious experts in language semantics to formally explore the implications of proposed changes. Most other languages just chuck things in.
I understand your point. My comment was a weak attempt at being clever. Free (the concept) versus free(void* ptr) (the function call) - the latter would not be present without dynamic allocation.
As an employee you can opt out of it
> Apple switched the bundled cables from A to C, but didn't provide a charger brick, so people who still only had USB-A chargers were SOL

Yes, this is what happened on the iPhone 13 (may have been 12).
Your intuition is correct. Generally, I would not have an intern deploy major version upgrade -- or do anything in prod at all, really -- without:

1. proven familiarity with the process,

2. thorough instructions, and

3. an on-call that is available and familiar with the intern's specific push.

That said: maybe these upgrades are always straight forward. Maybe your boss plans to be available in case something goes wrong (despite not being on site). Maybe he's treating this as a sort of final interview for your internship before suggesting a full-time offer. Maybe there's a safety net underneath you that your boss knows about but you don't, since operating with poise under pressure is an important thing to test for in an IT candidate.

I suggest you proceed with poise. Prior to the upgrade, ensure that you have documentation about the process, any other necessary information, etc. It is your job to make sure you have what you need! Also make sure that you have a point of contact who will be on-call during the upgrade process (this should be your boss). During the upgrade, immediately escalate any issues to that on-call.

Finally, prior to your boss leaving, let him know that you are happy to take on this task but want to make sure that there's a full time employee ready in the wings in case something goes wrong because you do not have a long history with this product and because the product is so mission-critical to the company.
I can see the argument for emacs being a IDE but isn't vim more of an editor?
Is there anything preventing a staged upgrade? What's the roll back option like?

As others have said raise concerns with your boss/their boss. But if you have concerns do something to lower that risk and discuss options with higher ups.

Definitely, yes. I would recommend looking for coaches certified by the International Coaching Federation (ICF). They are the largest standards-body for coaching. I'm sure you can find great coaches who didn't go through ICF but it can help you narrow down your search.

I recently graduated from an ICF-approved coach training program and I'm making the transition from tech to coaching. You can read more about me on my profile. If you think it's a good fit I'd be happy to offer you a few sessions pro bono.
Delhi hit 49 deg C this May. I don't think it's humanly possible to adapt to this kind of temperature.
The gods are angry i think. Woke up today and all our pg servers were unavailable. Checked service health and azure shows a global pg incident impacting pg servers.

And the funny thing? Status.azure.com is all green. No events in activity overview. No service health within the affected instance.

Workaround advised by azure? Upgrade to next plan. We already reached the maximum size. Maybe time for Citus . More $$$ for M$

"I don't know about the "developed" countries where people have social security"

People don't autmatically get paid if they lose their jobs. Welcome to reality, OP.
you nailed it on the head. i did leave out some context and i see now this post is just the ranting of a madman.

i am an Intern, and my boss is the ERP Systems manager. My company is not large. Before I came along, it was just my boss. He is the heart, soul, and backbone of the IT department here. Now i am one of the limbs.

it is just us 2. i think you absolutely banged it on the head that i suffer from the inability to effectively communicate my anxieties/concerns with my superior, and i feel i have done him an injustice with this post and i wanted to say that you are right. My anxiety is coming from my inability to communicate properly. he may totally be under the impression that i can handle this, but i also want to say i don't really know WHY not because i don't think i can handle this if i were adequately prepared, but that i attempt to ask these questions and am sort of... left on read. i know that if this does go awry, i will not be the sole blame. but i am struggling with this like desire to make sure that my company is able to carry on production without a blip. vmaybe i am in la la land and care too much about the company that would replace me in a heartbeat, but i want to prove to myself i can be a part of this field, be a part of this industry.

thank you for your advice. i want you to know that i am genuinely taking all points made in this thread to heart.
Honestly thinking on making a Mosaic clone. Without CSS or Javascript, I imagine it won't be terribly difficult to put together
Maybe its in some fine print or on official product pages. But for at least 95% of the users it was still a nasty surprise when they couldn't find charger (this is true across spectrum, ie Samsung is currently doing the same). Those folks are simply not following all the news and releases. The expectation and reality for 2 decades was that all necessary to charge is in the phone package.

So they effectively hiked the prices of their phones by quality charger. The thing is, outside of US most people don't change phones every 1/2 years. Heck, most of my 90 colleagues who are IT geeks have 5+year old android/apple phones, mostly androids. So folks generally don't have good fast chargers for modern phones, or USB-C output on chargers at all.

I've grown fed up with this and bought a Anker 65W one, I can plug 3 devices at the same time, both classic USB and USBC, its tiny, doesn't heat up even under 65W. Manufacturers, including Apple and most Androids failed in this (although I grok the marketing aspect and overall possibly net income gain for them).
That sounds truly horrible. I've only recently returned to Mac OS as primary OS (one reason being annoyed by Ubuntu and FF) but why aren't you using Safari and Mail.app then if I may ask?
My kids have definitely swiped my coffee mug before but I sure as heck don’t let them drink it…they do not need the energy boost!
Yeah, me too.

It seems the only thing that really improved is the pornography, which is available in vast quantities and flavors, amateur and professional, for no money whatsoever.
I really dislike this trend of segmenting content catalogs based on the plan you select. Netflix's new ad-supported plan not only shows ads, but also says "Some movies and TV shows unavailable (learn more), unlimited mobile games"

https://help.netflix.com/en/node/24926

I bought a Kindle to try it out, and added the Kindle Unlimited 90-day trial at no extra cost. But Kindle "Unlimited" is actually not unlimited at all; only some titles are in the "unlimited" library. I don't mean that only some books are available either. Many titles, like the one I wanted (Legend of Drittz) are available on Kindle, but not on Kindle Unlimited. I had to buy the book for $8.

I really can't understand Netflix's reasoning. Sure, they are giving a 30% discount in exchange for ads, if you want to think of it that way. But c'mon - it's $3. Do they really think people are willing to suffer through ads and have a limited library, for $3 less? I don't. Because you know whatever popular program you want to watch on Netflix is not going to be in the limited library.

Amazon Prime does this too. Sure, they have thousands of titles you can watch. They also regularly move titles off of Prime once they get popular. Seen it happen many times with titles on my Watch List (which I never use anymore because of this). I will be canceling Kindle "Unlimited" at the end of the free trial, because at the end of the day, it's just another source of feeling frustration when large corporations put the screws to me. I already switched to the Netflix DVD plan. They'll have a hard time inserting ads on that, unless they insert them while adding items to my queue. Hey, that's a great idea! I should patent that before they start doing it!
As the Retrowin32 author states:

> There are other projects to run old Windows programs. WoW64 is the name of the system within 64-bit Windows that makes old 32-bit Windows programs run. Wine shims the Windows API onto your host system — see the great How Wine works for a deep dive on what that means. And system emulator projects like qemu emulate a full x86 machine such that you can install Windows onto them. But Wow64 requires running 64-bit Windows, Wine requires x86 hardware, and qemu requires installing the full Windows OS into the emulator to run a Windows program.
> Second, no conspiracy would be needed, just hypocrisy of individuals.

To quote your first sentence:

> It's interesting to me how much people are trained to reflex against this possibility.

Which is definitely conspiratorial. It's not just that they might have incomplete or lacking science training, or are defaulting to incorrect common-sense intuitions, no, they have been trained.

Second, the hypocrisy of people benefiting from the status quo, defending a stupid idea to squeeze a few years of carbon emission, and accusing the other side of being ideologically driven is quite striking.

You insult the other side by summoning the idea that they are simple peoples believing in gods and wood spirits, dismiss their opinion by projecting your own ideologically-driven hypocrisy, engage in conspiratorial-adjacent thinking by considering that their opinion is the result of propaganda.

Note how close this is all to the usual climate skeptics rhetorical toolbox. After having to finally conceded that there is an issue, they are trying to justify their insane beliefs by saying that "people were not nice enough when explaining the problem and agreeing with my politics".

Don't claim to advocate for science-based approach by using such rhetorical devices.

Best travel advice I ever received, pre-Internet era (but still relevant):

Bring twice as much money, and half as many clothes, as you think you are going to need.
