The best alternative to Heroku is a cheap VPS with Digital Ocean or Linode. Throw on the open source PAAS software https://dokku.com/ and boom, cheap, simple and easy.
Yeah, but then I have to be looking over my shoulder that Larry Ellison is going to spring some kind of legal/financial trap.

I will pay more to avoid Oracle.
Wow, rewind 2 years and the comments for any GitLab post looked really different. I'm still a GitHub user/fan - but seems the GL folks might want to pay attention.
Gitea for code, docs as code with Woodpecker for CI for test tasks and build/deploy tasks. Also integrated with Weblate for translation.

Kanboard for more complex task management with a hook server for custom automations.
Just put everything in cloud, use closed-in vendor solutions and overpriced eager fees as its typical VC way to just burn money cause "developers cost more" (maybe in California).

I was big cloud enjoyer in like 2016-20 but then some hacker news post open my eyes to the truth. They are trying to milk everyone and hook every possible person on some free credits then bump prices and get fat profits and ofc make as hard as possible getting out of the platform.

I just don't care and move to smaller providers for VPS and database + cloudflare for dns and pseudo s3 (still in almost free tier).
Signal server is explicitly untrusted in the Signal threat model, which is must be due to being based in a country (like any other country) with laws that can be used to compel actions on the server's owners. They publish legal orders they receive and their responses.
China also put millions into poverty during Mao's Great Leap Forward. Note that your link refers to the last 4 decades. Just before that, the same government was decimating the countries wealth.

I like to ponder what future societies will be appalled by that we consider totally routine.

My guesses are something to do with animal rights or water usage. Maybe filling big pools with water just so you can swim around will be seen as disgusting waste.

> If you want to have kids, have kids.

No. Kids are not your property to experiment with. You should not force a 3rd parson (the kid) without their consent into your life if you are not mentally and physically well. Do whatever you want with your own life that does not involve unwilling subject.

Personally, I would not wish to be born to someone who is struggling, which will make me suffer later. Most people only care about consent when it's them, not others and even refuses.

> you don't have all the available keys, because servers can selectively change their responses

Well, that's the entire point of the log, isn't it? To make sure that everybody is seeing the same keys.

If the keys you got from the upstream link in the DNS chain doesn't match the one in the log, you reject them, because you are being spoofed.

> to design a transparency scheme for the DNS PKI, one that does not currently exist, which is deliberately different than Certificate Transparency
> now that you've learned that Certificate Transparency won't work for DNSSEC

It wouldn't work exactly like it is, obviously, which is why I've been saying "CT-like" system, not the exact same CT incantation that exists right now which was explicitly designed for WebPKI, not a DNS PKI.

Your argument is like saying in the year 2002: "electric vehicles can't possibly work because gas stations are not designed for electric vehicles". Well, not exactly a sound argument you have there, now is it? :)

> You've vindicated my argument.

I highly doubt that :)
You couldn't pay me to use anything Oracle based. I'd much rather take my chances with AWS or another host than use Oracle.
I started on GitHub, moved to a job that used Gitlab, and then another that uses Bitbucket. Being platform agnostic about CI/CD and Git, I think, looks better than being wed to a single provider.
Given how buddy-buddy payment industry is, I'd advise against this unless a lawyer is willing to take it pro-bono on the basis that your case is so strong it'd be a layup.
Slavery is even legal in the EU according to European Convention on Human Rights Article 4 Paragraph 3.

I love subparagraph (d) which is a wonderful catch-all in case a legal pressure relief valve is needed in the future to justify god knows what.

Article 4 – Prohibition of slavery and forced labour

1 No one shall be held in slavery or servitude.

2 No one shall be required to perform forced or compulsory labour.

3 For the purpose of this article the term "forced or compulsory labour" shall not include:

a any work required to be done in the ordinary course of detention imposed according to the provisions of Article 5 of this Convention or during conditional release from such detention;

b any service of a military character or, in case of conscientious objectors in countries where they are recognised, service exacted instead of compulsory military service;

c any service exacted in case of an emergency or calamity threatening the life or wellbeing of the community;

d any work or service which forms part of normal civic obligations.
I suggest you double check those performance claims. The CSS might be smallish, but you're usually moving the weight to non-cached HTML which is re-downloaded on every page view. I helped analyze the impact on a very large website (billion+ pageviews) and it did not look very good.
> This is all I want from any service that I buy from. Good, responsive support without scripted responses and black hole email addresses.

Many commenters in this thread are saying OP's account was frozen because of suspected fraud/money laundering. If that's true, what would "responsive support without scripted responses and black hole email addresses" entail?
Yeah, I remember seeing the clip on HIGNFY, and he came off as a bit of a jerk regardless. Just saying it's not necessarily as bad as some people seem to assume it is.
No, it’s because historically, Seattle only gets a handful of days over 90. Otherwise, installing central A/C is too expensive to be worth it.

Recently however I’ve discovered that heat pump mini splits can be had for about the same price as a window unit and have installed 2 in my home in the past year.
The greatest source of admissions inequity is childhood socioeconomic status. Dropping the SAT is so obviously not a fix for that I question the competency of the administrators who thought doing so was a good idea.

The SAT is probably the most attainable piece of the application process for a poor kid to succeed at. You literally just need a guide book or two and enough time to study. One good smart friend helps if you're lucky enough to have one. Literally the lowest barrier to entry for a kid stuck in a shitty school with parents that aren't around and no money to your name. Is it still a hurdle for poor kids? Undoubtedly, but I can't think of anything that can show academic capacity that requires fewer resources.
I wish they provided more clarity considering they are seen as a Heroku alternative, let me explain that.

I am not saying that it fails to provide clarity to someone who is willing to pay for it, but the rule of thumb of pricing pages offering a "free" product is to explicitly mention this ⇒ "$0". Am I being picky? Yes. Why? Because it is a Heroku alternative, and Heroku did mention free in an obvious way in describing their pricing plans.

When you mention overage charges immediately after the free tier, it kinda feels a little bit weird. In the pricing plans section, they don't mention a free plan.

In my country (New Zealand), while we wouldn’t expect that wealth necessarily came from cheating and stealing, the idea of money as “abstraction of reputation and honor” would be foreign to most, I think. For example, while there were some Trump supporters here, I think nearly everyone was confused about the assumption that his personal wealth implied anything about his worth or worthiness.
If a payment processor suspects a business is laundering money, they can hold the funds, but it's illegal for the payment processor to tell the business that they suspect money laundering. So they end up saying something like "we're holding your funds for vague unspecified reasons".

(Disclaimer: Used to work at Stripe, but not on this particular area. Not an expert on either the law or Stripe's policies.)
This person's giving solid advice. In traditional payment networks, like swipers in a retail location, 30-90 days is standard, this varies by risk profile and SIC code, like comparing a deli to an ATM in an adult club. There's a lot of settlement and reconciliation and things that happen in the background.
OP here. The function keys can be accessed via the FN layer. I’ve added new keymap images where you can see each individual layer. The old Advantage2’s FN keys were not good, so they get rid of it. If you start using layers, you’ll see that most key combos or keys are not actually that useful.
That is obviously terrible, and I have several personal ties to Ukraine and the conflict, but the arc of humanity is currently getting better. Russia’s invasion of its sovereign neighbor is bad, but I wouldn’t call it globally bad, unless this turns into a nuke war.
I think the cloud can reduce the operations team even at their scale if serverless is used on GCP. Many of the serverless offerings on GCP just get it right. I have never had to think about machine sizes, clusters, etc when using BigQuery. My team and I focus on the SQL. Cloud Run gives you a web or API server without having to really think about machines other than number of cores and memory size. I am currently designing a data pipeline architecture that is 100% serverless to move away from Airflow/Composer. Why? Because my team and I can stay focused on the code and logic of moving data around instead of the operations of managing a managed product.

Would this work on AWS or Azure? Theoretically yes, but I personally think their serverless offerings are hard to use and don't make things easier.
> The idea that we must perfect ourselves before we enter a relationship with others is common in internet advice and frankly wrong.

Ok when they give consent like your spouse. The to be born kid did not. Kids are not anyone's property to experiment with. You should not force a 3rd parson (the kid) without their consent into your life if you are not mentally and physically well. Do whatever you want with your own life that does not involve unwilling subject.

Personally, I would not wish to be born to someone who is struggling, which will make me suffer later. Most people only care about consent when it's them, not others and even refuses.
Square started doing that with my business. Without warning or cause, they began withholding 20-percent of all incoming transactions in case of chargebacks. Makes me wonder if a regulatory change has occurred.

My email is in my profile if you have an open ticket number for this issue that I can take a look at when I'm at my desk Monday.
I’m fairly handy and have hung drywall before. It’s not the hardest thing in the world, but you quickly realize a mediocre hanging job results in far more work by the mudding/taping crew. And the end result still probably would be OK at best.
The only thing that has deteriorated is the keyboard quality and upgradability. Everything else has gone skyward over the last ten years.

My first laptop could do just over 2 hours when its battery was brand new, and it would be dead in about 18 months. My Macbook Air easily goes over 10 hours (likely more, haven't ever tried it). I can't see any dead pixels, in fact, I can't see any pixels at all, the speaker is better, the camera is better, and so on.

Plus it weighs a lot less.
True. I used to have this analysis: It must be untrue that many rich people own unoccupied houses. They are forgoing tremendous cash flow. Why would they do that?

Then I encountered a senior lawyer. They earned in a month what a person on an average wage gets in a year. They were running out of places to put money and some of it went into property, as a "stash". They had not much thought of "return". The high pressure hose pipe of cash they were receiving swamped that.

Being a lawyer they would have no illusions about the morality and ethics of the "financial advisor" system, so would not use it. Hence leaving money lying around, in houses. Tenants were just another bother and the financial return of tenants when compared to the cash income....

It happens. Rich people by housing ad leave it empty.

Astonishingly high land taxes on empty houses in shortage areas is the only solution I can see

> just because the JVM typically depends more on a good GC doesn’t make it any less useful -

I mean it feels like personal choice. Do I praise the spouse when they bring whole kitchen down while making a dish and cleaning up quickly afterwards? Or do I take it as "Well, you made mess so it was basic expectation from you to clean up fast for later use"
It's worth noting that Basecamp's architecture relies on vertical scaling, which can get very expensive in the cloud.
Stating the obvious, perhaps find a role which requires zero on-call? None of my backend (Java/Python) colleagues do any on-call, and sticking to contracted hours (09:00-17:30) is encouraged by team leads. I've done a fair amount of on-call over the years and now pivoted from Ops handling production to internal projects. System uptime simply isn't my responsibility any more :)

The idea is to do this in session with a therapist, or at least under guidance. By exposing yourself safely to a trigger reducing the effects (like a fight or flight response for example)
There is so much complexity here but I do not know where to start but I just want to throw in that the first few months of parenthood are supposed to be difficult and zombie like so don’t get down on yourself if you make some progress in the next few months, then regress. Things get better after the first year and maybe sooner
Yes, that was the intention - to admit more "diverse" students without embarrassment, at the expense of kneecapping themselves with crappier heuristics for the general admissions pool.
Moldable Live Programming for Clojure
Just forget about trying to be fair: use some kind of test and pick out by lottery from the n best results.
Layout layers are the future. Mapping more than three keys per finger is unergonomic. You want to switch between layers quickly with modifier keys actuated by your thumb. With this approach you can ergonomically access 204 symbols (34 (pads) * 3 (layers) * 2 (shift)) with 34 keys.

Heck even three pads per finger is too much imo and I need to devote more research into two pad per finger layouts which rely on multi-pad press combos (stenography) to avoid using the bottom row and pinkies.

Till then you'll probably catch me using MTGAP 30 on an ANSI.
> Welcome to current year. Its all good as long as the children been exploited are not the children of the people who vote for you.

That's been happening forever, not just the current year. Child labor sweatshops were a major source of industrial productivity for centuries the world over until relatively recently.

Charles Dickens' novels turned it into an adjective in English bearing his name that described (among other things) the indifference of those in power to child labor.
"If you're sufficiently far from a major city or a base, you should be fairly safe."

You have to be far from missile launch sites too, which tend to be scattered over many remote areas.

Hydroelectric dams, power stations are also likely to get hit, so say goodbye to electricity.

Say goodbye to modern medicine too, as pharmaceutical plants will not function without power, working supply chains and a skilled population to staff them. So anyone who depends on modern medicine (like blood pressure medication, dialysis, etc) to survive is going to be dead. Antibiotics will quickly run out, and so even minor infections that are treatable today will become life-threatening.

Hospitals will be completely overwhelmed (if they survive at all), so say goodbye to hospital care for any serious conditions. Childbirth will go back to the stone age, and child mortality will skyrocket.

You'd also have to survive the fallout... water's going to be unsafe to drink pretty much anywhere as it'll be contaminated and water treatment plants are unlikely to survive either.

The fields will be contaminated with fallout, all the animals are likely to die. You'll likely die of starvation or thirst unless you're a survivalist who happens to be in their bunker when the nukes hit (because there's unlikely to be any warning)... even then, how long is their food and water going to last?

The handful of survivors unlucky enough to live through a nuclear war will emerge on to a world devastated on a scale that's beyond imagining. Most of them would probably rather be dead, and the suicide rate among survivors will likely be high.
No, I am not sure how you believe forced prison labor for free or low wages is somehow a "free market"

The Labor in this context is directly derived from government criminal codes, thus not disconnecting it from anything resembling a free market
Chances are you belong in the vast number of companies that have a very static workload and you should move to a few colos and be done with it.
Very well summarized. This really captures the dilemma.

Did I mention every single Ethernet cable had to be cut to length and if any server moved all the cables had to be remade ? Lol. They finally hired a wiring company to do all that work because I think we all protested to programming during the night and cutting cables during the day or vice versa.
Is it cheaper than stripe ? And won't they suspend you for any reason?

You may be entirely correct in this case, but the result doesn't generalize.
"70%" number is effectively meaningless, it might be 30 or 90, but it is a fact that the war is supported by Russian society. They may not _like_ it but they _support_ it. If Putin says the war is over now, Russians would support that too.

>You could argue the SAT is designed for testing skills that can only/primarily be learned within the current school system

go ahead then and argue using that point, I'd want to know what makes you think so

I've prepared for SAT's equivalent in my country mostly from the youtube videos, so I'm curious what makes you think like that
What if they eliminated racial consideration and it went to 0% black/hispanic? I wonder if anyone would celebrate?
Ok then, highlight all the times where a market has resulted in a monopoly with out underling government regulations limiting the ability of new entrants to the market.
Why would your organs become less 'fresh' if you are stable but appear to be in a vegetative state? I understand being worried about people taking advantage of disabled (perhaps temporarily) folks - but I don't think there's a ticking clock issue here?
Current Russian practice shows that there is no difference, thousands of newly mobilized men have already died and their society doesn't care, mothers just blame Ukraine.
OP can you lay out your version of the events please? And also give written permission to the Stripe guy to lay out his version? I want to see how the two compare. Feel like watching some drama this evening.
They are not 'contracts'. It's just code.

Which some people can try to pass of as 'contracts', which is fine, but future magistrates will decide how much they are really contracts.

That legal outcome is not clear so it's unlikely companies are going to spend a lot of time using said 'contracts' in any other terms than they use code today to do things.

More likely, companies will use an 'actual contract' to clarify the meaning and use of the NFT transactions, which participants will have to sign should they want to meaningfully participate in something.

Which highlights the existential problem for distributed systems in that they mostly rely on some civil 'context' which is likely going to be 'centralized' at least in the purview of the decentralized people.

The hardest part would be to see my family move on, my wife remarry, and eventually the last person leaves, hoping that my departure is swift. Then I just wait while the medical staff picks me clean of their burden.
Seen by who? This angle is disingenuous, because no third party is going to single out this file being on Google Drive and punish Google for not censoring it.

Admit it, this is 100% autonomous action on the part of Google to suppress ideas and opinions they disapprove of. There is zero external pressure or risk. The excuse of some nebulous toxic miasma is nothing but a fig leaf for exercising political power.
I regularly have a meeting at 17pm CET with a colleague on the west coast. That's 8am for him.

Yes he has to wake up 1h earlier than me on that day, but he also probably earns 2 or 3 times my salary just because of his location so fair enough.
Do you have a source for that ?

> And yet, some things are near universally constant amongst large scale agrarian civilizations. For instance the confinement of violent criminals

Certainly not. Imprisonment for violent crimes is far from being a universal constant of human culture. There have been and are cultures in which violent criminals are only detained so they can be executed. Or beaten and then released. Or simply fined. Or not charged at all. What even counts as violent crime varies considerably even in developed countries today. Legal self-defense in one country may be murder in another.

Similarly, marriage is only culturally universal in a very abstract sense. Who are you allowed to marry? How many consecutive marriages are you allowed to have? Under what conditions can a marriage be broken? Can you be sold for marriage against your will?

> You're right in that there is some variation, but there do actually seem to be some choices in this regard that are more conducive to a stable, prosperous, society. Just like there are many ways to run a company, but only some of them lead to success. Point being that if you live in such a society, "changing things" may lead you off the golden path that brought you where you are. It's true that some change is inevitable, but any operator of any system that prioritizes stability above all is always wary of any unnecessary change.

I agree. My point is that liberals, progressives, conservatives.. pretty much everybody except the most apathetic, seek to make a change to society to turn society in a direction they think will be for the better. Each have different value systems and experiences, and accordingly have different opinions about what's wrong in society and what would constitute society being better. Conservatives frame themselves as apart from this by saying they don't want change, but "not change" is itself a change they want to impose on society to bring society back into line with their values.
