The article calls out having to learn how to create a Docker image for Fly.io as though it's a bad thing. I consider it a huge bonus if you like taking advantage of free tiers for services.

The whole point is that if you're going to take advantage of a free tier you should do so in a way that switching is trivial. Docker goes a long way to achieving that.

I personally just pay $10/month to Linode and self host these days using Nomad. Less restrictions and more freedom for the cost of a coffee and a bagel.

Right, and unless we are able to build more extraction capacity there is indeed going to be a fundamental limitation on lithium supply. "Build more mines" is a lot easier said than done. The nature of mining is that the most accessible reserves are exploited first, and more and more difficult to access sites get developed as scarcity grows.

The common discourse around lithium ion batteries doesn't comprehend the idea of input limitations. If they were taken back to 1920, they'd look at how a car cost $100,000 in 1910 and $10,000 in 1920 and conclude that cars will cost $1,000 in 1930, $100 in 1940 and $10 in 1950. They'll just build more iron mines and steel mills. That's not how it works: mining isn't as amenable to order of magnitude increases: A car cannot cost less than it's constituent input materials, and mining and metallurgy can't deliver at that scale.
It is the reason for the existence of the dmca.

Now I take a rather dim view of the dmca. But the general concept is to move enforcement of the law out of the normal slow bureaucratic channels. Now enforcement is handled directly by the injured party. Much more efficient.

If you immediately see how ripe for abuse this system is. congratulations. you are now more far sighted than the originators of this system.

Now to it's credit, the dmca limits the enforcement(I think, I have never read the law) to a formalized version of "if you stop doing it we won't press charges" however this is still widely abused.

If it's true - and I hope it is - then it could be a way from someone inside Twitter to send out a message. We'll see what's behind it soon.

Why is it still sound if they themselves could not live and follow their own philosophy? I am wary of anyone who professes something that sounds technically sound, but which they themselves cannot live up to.

There's a graphic about halfway down that shows supposed "evidence" of accelerants being used when in fact they're either common to all fires, caused by the rapid cooling from water used to extinguish the fire, or are simply random occurrences completely unrelated to the fire. Yet to this day they are taught to investigators as rock solid evidence of arson.
He just did, it's called Rust. And if someone invented a language 5% faster than C. He'd still use C. If someone had invented a language faster than C when he started working on Linux, he would still have chosen C. He didn't pick it because it was the fastest (and it likely wasn't back then - C compilers have come a long way.)
No, of course not. Nothing new has been added and no new use cases have arrived. Sure, there's some marginal advancement in display and computation, but nothing revolutionary or cheap enough to get wide spread adoption.

Yeah, as a Brit in the USA, I've pointed out on a couple of times to friends/colleagues that literally everywhere in the UK is north of literally everywhere in the contiguous 48 states - Alaska is a cheat-code!

This usually comes up when the conversation turns to why no-one in Europe (mainly the UK, since they know I'm a Brit) has air-conditioning... That's right; we don't have it because it's bloody cold there, a lot of the time. In fact our Summers are only temperate because of the Gulf Stream (Atlantic Conveyor, if you prefer). If that "turns off", the UK (and a fair amount of Europe) is in dire straits.
Drag story hour is speech. Far right activists have been showing up and physically assaulting people to silence them, moderate right politicians are trying to pass laws against them or simply defund libraries to silence the speech they find repugnant. So called bastions of free speech: Gab, Parler, Truth: they all silence anything to the left of their worldview.
1) What isn't what he said? I paraphrased you and you quoted him

2) Short on time doesn't correlate with writing up three long replies all refusing to mention even one specific technical problem

3) Your link is in regards to FreeBSD and OpenBSD, and does not mention NetBSD, which is what we are talking about specifically.
Ahhh feature flags, the sick organization’s last crutch.

Three years down the line, every customer is using a slightly different combination within the hundred flags that have appeared, you’ve just fallen back the latest release for the fifth time because of an unforeseen interaction between three unrelated flag states, and then you go through the test suites and you realize that it is mathematically impossible for you to cover every combination :)

In my lifetime, no one on the left tried to assassinate a conservative Supreme Court justice until the last few years. It’s gotten more extreme.

The left might not be as crazy as they were in the 60s or whatever, but things are more heated today than at any point in my 30 year memory.
51% "only way I could afford it". "safe way to pay for things she couldn’t afford with her part-time job."

There's something amiss in the way the subjects of the story use arithmetic and time. I sort of doubt people are more credulous or innocent now vs past times. Wish we had insight as to what the popular perception of affluence was in generations past, because it does seem easy to be surrounded by "everybody seems to have everything" imagery in the current world. But if you can't afford something, you can't afford it. Borrowing makes it sorta worse, because creditors can screw you in ways that lacking some items won't.
> I hurt my back and can’t DL or squat anymore, so I just don’t workout

This is not true. I’ve has DL and CrossFit injuries hold me from training for years. And I’ve got back and am stronger than ever.

I know people who broke their backs who are deadlifting.

You have to tell your body that what got it in trouble is not blacklisted and can actually be good for you.

ISO C++11 introduced support for GC APIs, thus endorsed garbage collection in C++.

These API have been removed in ISO C++20, only because the biggest C++ GC customers, like Epic and Microsoft, never made use of them and carried on using their own implementions.
Right, that's why people keep pulling fire alarms for funsies too. Oh, wait...
Similar thing in NZ with sodium fluoroacetate, big brand name 1080, "ten-eighty". Used to kill bird predators in NZ's forest parks.

"Nah, we don't use 1080. This is sodium fluoroacetate." "Oh."

Edit: NZ also permits use of glyphosate. It is starting to be discouraged because of the effects of long-term use on soil ecology, rather than health.

There are no good (non-labor-intensive) alternatives, though. To grow grass we have to use it, pretty much. At least until all-weather autonomous solar-powered weed-grubbing robots arrive.
Figuring out how to test and validate quickly and inexpensively is still valuable. Yes, trickier if it's not SaaS or software, but still possible.

If you take the YC credo, "Build something people want", there are two assumptions that need to be tested. 1) Do people want it and 2) Can you build it? I think that most times it's best to test #1 first.
The minimum amount of lithium necessary for utility-scale batteries is zero because many of them are made of lead-acid batteries, because nobody gives a damn how bulky and massive a battery is in fixed service.

This has nothing to do with thermodynamics and everything to do with you parroting anti-renewable propaganda.
Some thoughts:

- FOSS is high quality because really talented people with drive work to build the best they can, across global boundaries

- FOSS is also high quality because it's an almost perfect market - discoverability is high, transfer costs low and so the best becomes dominant

- There is also a lot of bad FOSS code out there.

- Lots of FOSS like lots of proprietary code is just bloated.

- There needs to be some maintenance - but equally some ... it used to be called
systems integration.

- I think the layer of for profit, not for profit and charitable work should focus there - systems integration. Imagine a world where a ISV gets "certified"
on say a Python MatPlotlib, with at least two employees having made accepted pull requests. or something.

Now we have a layer of companies that have profit and cash flow and an interest
in maintaining those foss projects. Not merely using them for free.
Sam Bankman-Fried flirted with Musk's Twitter bid, but walked away
It's not really a left vs right case, but there are many instances in both Twitter and Reddit of women openly hating men, which isn't censored, while the opposite (men openly hating women) is censored or punished.

I don't want to name individual Twitter users, but you can check the r/FemaleDatingStrategy subreddit to have an idea.

Edit: I've done a quick Google search on reddit of "I hate men" and "I hate women" and they both seem to be quite prevalent, so maybe there isn't that much of a bias in terms of banning users. Although I still believe there is bias in terms of which subreddits have been deleted, quarantined, or allowed to continue.
Between 4.1 and 4.6, it changed a lot.

Apple never supported extensions for AZDO, for example.
I worked as a Unix guy for Morgan Stanley UK & US in the 90s. As part of a SunOS to Solaris rollout, we built & pre-configured all the AFS servers for the Bombay (as it was known at the time) office before they were wrapped & palleted up to be shipped over to India to be racked & powered on over there. There was a courier (I'm not sure if he was an actual MS employee) who apparently would travel along with all the pallets and grease the wheels at certain points with cash payments. It was well known among our project team that cash bribes were an absolutely essential part of getting the servers in one piece and at the same time to our office there in Bombay. I never did find out how much the "bribe fund" was for that project but I suppose a couple of grand would have covered it. BTW The servers did get there in one piece, and they pretty much all came up as they should have.
I think you are comparing two different things. The CapEx and installation costs are typically measured in $/kWh for capacity of the battery (though some costs scale by the $/kW, for example the inverters...).

The cost of storing and delivering the energy from the battery over its lifetime, is refered to the level used cost of storage. This includes operations costs, debt service, etc. is measured by the cost of delivering energy to the grid, and grid-scale costs are typically measured in $/MWh (as opposed to residential costs typically quotes in $/kWh).
Name 1 in the US.

Looks awesome! I'm not sure if it would be one of your goals, but to me a killer piece of projects like this is realtime notifications. Supabase has something like this for Postgres.

There are an interesting number of options for SQL via HTTP and SQL via GraphQL popping up in general - some of these might have some features worth looking into.
Dream scenario - in the planning session note you depend on an external API. Prioritize an early spike/prototype of the feature to flush out dependency risks. Discuss relative priorities with the other team & schedule the work to modify their service.

This requires teams to have slack/contingency time in their plans. That’s important.

Of course, there will always be situations where you don’t spot a dependency until you start coding. But in the loosely-coupled mode, that is what happens every time you have a dependency on someone else, ie you have no opportunity to spot in advance. Worth some planning exercise you get an opportunity to spot the dependency and deal with it gracefully, even if you don’t catch 100%.

But yeah, if there is no benefit to spotting early because the other team doesn’t have slack for the Q, then less point in planning in advance.
My biggest take away from trying to find a Heroku alternative is that Heroku is late to the game of charging for a basic app. Other service might be free, but seem to have some sort of catch--only static, or requires a certain infrastructure, or whatever else--and only Heroku had the unopinionated free tier. And while I haven't used their competitors, I'm skeptical they can match Heroku's interface, CLI, add-on ecosystem, documentation, and all the various tutorial and stack overflow questions about their platform.

So, I'm sticking with Heroku. Sure, it'll cost some (and supposedly they're bringing in cheaper tiers than current, too), but it's not a big difference from their competitors, is reasonably priced (from a competitive perspective), and allows me to continue using a tool I know inside along with all the accompanying ecosystem.

I guess after ten years I'll actually have to pay Heroku something for their service. That seems... fine to me. Complaining about that seems petty.
The problem is that the legal system is flawed in such a way that the wronged parties rarely have the time & resources needed to actually put the issue in front of a judge. If it actually does get in front of a judge (in reality it would get settled out of court if it actually gets anywhere close) I would indeed expect their argument to fall apart.

This is something that ideally the government (its consumer protection branches like the FTC) should be policing proactively, filing suits preemptively against systems that are trivially exploitable.
The message you link to is in regard to the FreeBSD implementation and not NetBSD.
Can you clarify how you came to this conclusion? No idea about self-hosted stuff of course, but I'm pretty sure BoringSSL is one of the gold standards for the big cloud providers.

This last one is not 100% clear but I would imagine AWS dogfoods their own encryption libraries to build their internal cloud stack.
>It took 60 people 3 years to not produce a correctly working service. [...] She spent 3 months building it.

Using 60 people to produce something 1 person could do, is like cutting this person's brain in 60 parts and connecting them with 1Hz data links.

V. Lextrait (CTO of Amadeus at the time if I recall properly) had a rule of only splitting a piece of work between multiple developpers if it couldn't fit in the otherwise single developper's head.

Ah, Andreas YT programming sessions. The length, the sincerity, the mood. The way he is able to communicate with us while being alone in a room. His very conscious effort to not get side tracked. And, of course, him just being a really effective programmer, while not being flashy or pretentious about tech or tooling in the least (and also probably because of it).

Sometimes I watch and listen intently, and learn a lot. Sometimes I zone a little. It's perfect. If you are interested in programming in general I can just highly recommend checking it out.
Every conversation on this topic can be summed up as: "Heroku charging $7/mo for hosting is evil. Switch to <competing service that costs $10-$20/mo> instead."
Yes, one aspect I always liked about MathOverflow was it gave some of the experts in the field a low friction way of sharing their knowledge when compared with conventional publishing or even pre-prints. They have far more ideas and knowledge than time or inclination to write them all down.

Of course, now that I work in tech, I’m thinking it’s not unlike how Snapchat and TikTok have led to far more “content creation”.
There are literally attacks against the Asian community everyday but these attacks aren't reported in the national news.
A minimal Debian installation (which is easiest to do from the netinstall image, although it can be done from any other by selecting the appropriate option in the installation menu: https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/615465) gets you the most slimmed down system possible without going to something like Alpine. There's nothing to remove there if you want your system to boot at all.

No idea why it's not more popular tbh (I setup most systems this way both for security and efficiency reasons). The default installation profiles for most distributions are incredibly bloated in comparison (especially Ubuntu and such).
One of our clients at $Job is a testing laboratory for mold & asbestos samples - just from building inspectors & such. To maintain their modest accreditations, every single Analyst (person looking at submitted samples through a microscope) at that lab has to perform daily duplicates & replicates of their own & their coworkers' results (and achieve fairly demanding levels of consistency on those). Then they trade samples with other labs weekly or monthly, to demonstrate further consistency & accuracy of results. Then the accrediting inspectors come through to inspect regularly. Then...

Where the hell were the grown-ups, let alone an inspector who actually understood laboratory QC, when the FBI was running a Keystone Cops clown lab for years?
I use Time4VPS (which is linked on my blog) or Hetzner for VPSes and Docker Swarm for orchestration (at least for personal stuff, though Nomad or something like K3s can be great too), in combination with a more boring web server like Apache or Nginx for ingress (but Caddy and Traefik are viable as well).

Overall, I'm inclined to agree! You can pick a stack that's as boring or interesting as you want and have your container images work in almost any environment where OCI is supported, with minimal tweaking.

You can use either base images that someone else has made (Bitnami images in particular are rather nice), or build your own, about which I wrote in more detail: https://blog.kronis.dev/articles/using-ubuntu-as-the-base-fo...

Currently each of my individual nodes cost around 5-10 euros a month, or I can even use my homelab servers for whatever I want, since they can either be in the same cluster or a separate cluster. Essentially you just adjust some deployment constraints and feed some YAML/HCL into whatever container orchestrator you have. Provided that your registry access is configured correctly, you'll have your software up and running in minutes.

Hmmm ... I'm a fan of differential learning and other techniques for variablity of practice. Was just reading through https://perceptionaction.com/vp/ earlier today. However I'm not convinced motor learning research transfers to all learning, which seems to be the basis for the claim made in the blog post. My own experience is motor learning is quite different to learning symbol manipulation tasks like maths and programming.

While I do find Watts pretty based overall, some of his talks do give me that TED talk vibe, i.e. man on stage who says things that sound intelligent and an audience of middle class people sitting there spellbound and thinking they're educating themselves, whereas in reality most of them will forget everything they heard during the drive home.

Reminds me of a recent discovery on my device. I found out it's not possible for me to take screenshots on Netflix or Prime Video unless I go into Chrome settings and turn off hardware acceleration. It turns out that newer displays have DRM baked into them that prevents you from taking screenshots of your own freaking screen. I feel stupid for never having known that, but more importantly completely violated. This is my machine, and I choose what do on it, and how did I never know about this before? I feel the same way about sites that turn off right-click or text copying.
