you don’t want a free tier. what you want is reasonable usage based pricing and scale to zero.

all the actual tiny projects on free tiers have actual costs approaching zero. everything else shouldn’t be on a free tier.

if it’s not possible to monitor usage (not billing) and automatically unplug dns if usage spikes above some threshold, it’s probably not a good provider. having confidence that some project will never cost above x/month is a reasonable ask, and not challenging.

hint: use aws. like python and linux, it's not very good, but everything else is worse.
I’ve used various Brocade products in previous lives and the ICX line is a solid switch. Like another poster, I’d also not considered them for a home lab but definitely will now.
> So is hormonal balance or whatever you use for defining gender. Why do we care about gender at all?

Gender is defined by the person who is experiencing it. More specifically, gender is clearly biological to an extent (source: every trans person, as well as Reimer who was discussed elsewhere in the thread), but tends to represent itself with various social norms for a given gender (see: Various trans and third gender people across history, who align with gender roles not matching their birth sex).

Gender is relevant here due to that second section - it impacts how one sees and interacts with the world.

> When a person's body has all typical characteristics of a specific sex, then it's unambiguously that sex. Otherwise, they can rightfully identify as intersex, but that has nothing to do with transgenderism, where the body is unambiguous and only the mind seems to differ

The point is that far more people could be defined as 'intersex' then are, and many people who could have any of the conditions I listed above and not realize it. As there is no biological definition that doesn't need an exception to match many people who would be traditionally considered male or female, trying to argue this point is meaningless.

A simple Male/Female model is Good Enough for most peoples understanding, but is fundamentally flawed.

> If politically motivated people create a dictionary entry, then it agrees with them. What a surprise.

This argument can be used to dismiss anything, and thus cannot prove anything. Do you have other examples of political motivation here, or is it just that it is political because it disagrees?

> The word “assigned” is nonsense. The doctor doesn't flip a coin to determine the sex. The sex is observed.

Sex is observed, and gender is assigned based on sex. Usually, this matches up just fine. Sometimes, it doesn't.

> (and that's only considering people with gender dysphoria, aka “truscum”, and not those that are doing it for other reasons).

Truscum != people who have gender dysphoria. Truscum == Trans people who believe that you require gender dysphoria to be trans _and_ try to prevent other trans people from seeking treatment based on that belief.

Of eight articles on their landing page, four articles clearly attack the left from the headline, one could ambiguously attack either, but becomes clearly about the left in two paragraphs, One appears to be about the Bee itself - but actually is anti-left, and two appear to be benign "haha people funny[0]".

[0] "Batman In Hospital After Gotham Thugs Realize They Can Attack All At Once Instead Of Just One At A Time" was subscriber only, but "Man Celebrates 40th Birthday With Finely-Aged, Single Malt Bottle Of Advil " made me actually laugh.

Great article. I’d like to quote it in a GitHub issue template.

> The layoffs at Twitter would take place before a Nov. 1 date when employees were scheduled to receive stock grants as part of their compensation. Such grants typically represent a significant portion of employees’ pay. By laying off workers before that date, Mr. Musk may avoid paying the grants.

Classy. Have the employees not earned the stock? If he follows through, expect lawsuits to follow Mussk's action.
When in a serverless environment it's easy to get into a situation where you need to commit to deploy and test anything. Then git squash is essential, unless you're the only developer.
If they open it up, market forces (via competition) will determine what is fair. That equilibrium would probably be below 30% if serious competition occurs.

But yes, it would be fair for Apple to ask for 30% because others are free to offer the same service for less, and you as a consumer of that service have a choice between them - which will eventually force Apple to bring its commission down.

Commit basically doesn't matter to me, I think in the terms of PR. I can make 100 commits or 1, it doesn't matter because when I merge I squash them into a single commit that encompasses everything. There are some exceptions, as splitting a large merge into several smaller merges can help a lot, for example adding a database column in a pr, then adding in a separate merge usage of that column.

In terms of commits, the commit message should be a good summary of what is there. In terms of a PR there should be several things. One is obviously tests present. The next is a what, why and a how, which should be explanations of why you are doing it, what the purpose is, how you are doing. Finally I think there should be a descsription of how this should be tested manually.
I could see that working for presentations for a general audience like a TED talk or maybe intro/closing slides, but otherwise many presentations are context-specific, and trying to frame the content as a "deep truth" might not fly with the audience.
You can see a hanging chain model in the basement of Sagrada Familia; it's extremely impressive and an enormously clever form of analog computational architecture!
"Principled positions" aren't exactly Musk's forte. See also: sending private investigators after the guy he falsely called a pedophile, his vendetta against a single lawyer, trying start up an "alternative facts" news site after mainstream media wrote a series of articles about poor safety conditions in Tesla facilities, etc.

Don't get me wrong, I agree with his statements that Twitter and the internet at large need less censorship and thicker skin. I just don't have any faith those statements are going to be backed up because Elon Musk is a petulant child.

This was a surprising claim, so I tried googling, but none of my first 50 or so results were more recent than by 2020.

It sounds like you have just almost like contempt for these beliefs until they're validated by an authority in the form of materialist science? That what neuroscience contributes is not anything to the practice itself, but just permission for you to participate.
Carrick Flynn
Want: I drive a 2011 Toyota Corolla. It’s a decent four cylinder. Reliable. Runs smooth. Gets me from point a to point b, mainly to pick up my prescriptions these days though I suppose I could have them delivered.

Now I was never really a car person. I see all these people buying fancy cars. I tell ya, they’re money pits. Especially the German vehicles. I have family members that trade in every few years, rolling in their negative equity to the new car, and making car payments in perpetuity.

Yes sir call me an hypocrite, but after a friend picked me up in his Lexus, I want one. This was a Lexus GS sedan. Very comfortable, quality ride. Night and day different than my Corolla. I want to buy one and take it with me beyond my retirement and to the grave. And the Lexus is just a souped up Toyota anyway, so figure I can splurge for once.

I spoke with a Lexus dealer about purchasing a new IS, since it’s all they had on the lot. Despite a very high credit score and my house being paid off, they quoted me a > 7% interest rate. And they wanted me to pay $3000 for paint protection and some other useless stuff. No thanks, bunch of clowns. I got up to leave, and I couldn’t! I had given them my car keys because I thought about figuring out what my Toyota might be worth. But god damn they didn’t want to give me the keys back. The sales manager also came out trying to convince me why a 7% rate was more than good enough and how some stupid plastic film on the door that they’re charging me $800 is worth it (it’s not).

I haven’t made time to talk to a different lender. Might just wait a year and see if there’s more vehicle inventory with this god damn recession everyone keeps talking about.

I’m waiting for the stock market to crash so I can hopefully buy a fewer things for cheap. Where I live, cost of housing and goods is insane because of big tech companies. The bubble starting to burst is music to my ears. My former employer is one of them, and I pray they crash and burn with what a horrible work environment they’ve created. That’s another story.
The title of the article is "Since becoming Meta, Facebook’s parent company has lost US$650 billion" and this was previously also the title on HN. The comment was a response to that.
I wanted to get out today, but instead I spent two hours debugging an issue because I was dealing with code from someone who thought like you who didn't think documentation, comments, meaningful commit messages, or tests were a good use of their time.

I don't care what you do with your code, but as soon as someone else inherits it, you're a sociopath if you didn't document anything along the way.

And btw, the person who inherits that code may be your future self, and you'll thank your past self for writing down why you did something the way you did.
This is one setting on a regular router IIRC.
> We could be using the influence trade gives us to pressure them to change.

We've tried that in China. And look what happened—yes, the standard of life due to trade with the rest of the world has risen quite a lot, but the Chinese people thank the Chinese government for that. So rather than clamoring for western style freedoms, instead they're more loyal to the Chinese government than ever, and so changes are in the opposite of the direction we wanted.
It sure did to me. I started by learning basic, forth, pascal and 6502 assembler in the early 80s. Did tons of games, word processor and compiler projects. Then went to CS program had to deal with fortran and Cobol on projects that were not challenging. The intership i did ay[t a company supporting cobol maintenance sealed it there was zero way i could be a developer. Did many jobs from auditing, network engineer, product manager, etc until as gained seniority ended up managing development teams. Then i truly loved it once had the ability to shape direction of project. But funnythat never worked for the role fot. Degree on. However, getting tnat degree was key on my professional career
Are you sure about that? Most people I know who used Pantone colors were using them because their print product used one of those as a (special) spot color. You cannot print metallic copper on just any CMYK printer no matter how much you fiddle with the numbers. When you want a color to look as close as possible to a certain thing using a spot color (Pantone or otherwise) is the way to go.
Or, it appears I may have been correct the first time.

Anyone else feel like the whole point of this was to kill Twitter? I don't really think Musk cares very much about this whole thing.
Is there anything in this field that actually doesn't block DNS but hijacks it and serves up 1x1 GIF for any image requests, 1 frame videos, empty HTML, CSS, JS, fake VAST/VPAID files so that requests don't have to timeout and fail? I setup a pi-hole a couple of years ago and the kids begged me to shut it off because it screwed up with games on their phones (crashed if they couldn't load ads or got stuck because there was no reply).
I noticed many of the links don't change cursor style. I find this really irritating as a user.
> feeling of guilt and failure when you stray from the behavioral/moral prescription.

Those feelings are caused by attachment and craving. Learn to let go of your attachments; that's a big part of the "discipline" that's conducive to spiritual practice.
Totally agree - if I'm working on a larger change I'll usually do that in a branch, which ends up as a PR which I then squash-merge into a "perfect commit" as described in the article.
Because practice is not the same as theory. It's both faster and slower than C, depending on the program, but overall slower. The answer to why is deeply complex and varies on a case-by-case basis. Rust is far more complex than C, so some language features compile down to a LOT more IR (intermediate representation) than C, and LLVM is left to try and make the best of it. Many problems in compilers are NP-complete, and the compiler will use heuristics and other techniques to get an approximately good enough answer. Like register allocation. The more complex the starting state, the less well that tends to work out. But there's other things too, Rust has bounds checks for example, while C often does not. C has null-terminated strings, while Rust strings store a length. Rust doesn't have aliasing, but doesn't yet (last I checked anyway) optimize for that. It will one day though. This is just touching on an extremely nuanced and complex subject. But C is typically faster than Rust, and will likely stay that way.
Steve Jobs Buys a Washing Machine (2005)
Thanks, so this is an extension/generalization of the CMYK colorspace?
It’s slower? Any proof of that? I believe it is slower than the most recent revision of the 12C, but it’s certainly faster than the original 12C. The Platinum has many more registers which I find outweighs the improved speed of the current 12C. The stack push behavior of the Platinum also helps make programs a little shorter from my experience.
I just started to pay $9/mo for a tool that monitors a folder on an sFTP server for updates to a .csv, then parses the files and posts the data to a webhook.

At first I balked at that, and then realized I had no idea how to do that and it has worked flawlessly so far.
I would put it differently.

Stoicism is about realising what you have control over and what you do not. It about acknowledging the agency you have no matter how little it may be.

Even if you have a tendency to be very reactive there is always something you can do to nullify or lessen the impact of an insult.

Oh, I see. I am not aware of any work in that domain. Caching tends to be rather application-specific; despite all that phk says about varnish, mmap is not really a good general solution to the problem. Something language-specific with some awareness of the object model and perhaps access patterns could be an improvement, but not, I think, more than an incremental improvement.
I could be wrong but I don’t think pihole supports DNS over TLS out of the box. But AdGuard does
This is why I now love GitHub's "squash & merge"; it accomplishes so much of the ideals laid out in this "perfect commit" article.

Of course, I think most money comes from IAPs, not app downloads. The issue then is whether Apple would be forced to open the payment APIs, or if apps would need to implement a separate solution.
This is probably a mistake many people do when they become famous. They cannot accept that after some time, people are moving to a different topic, abandoning them. Now they must insert themselves into the new topic in order to remain relevant. But unlike the old topic, where they had some impressive mastery, in the new topic they are about as knowledgeable as a random person on internet; they just repeat someone else's edgy opinions, and try to back them with their previous authority.

HSR: High-Availability Seamless Redundancy
I like it. It's annoying to wait for the waiter to come over with menus, it's annoying to wait to ask them to bring a menu back because you want to order more, and it's gross when you get a menu that hasn't been wiped down properly and is sticky with god knows what, and it's wasteful when they're printing hundreds of fresh menus a day for the places that give everyone a fresh one.

Keep a few backup printouts for those who need them (like your phone gets no signal), but otherwise it's a fantastic step forwards. Goodbye to grimy wasteful printouts.

Plus the bonus of never having to experience "oh sorry we're out of that" if they update the menus dynamically is fantastic.
I don't know but it's a fantastic idea I think. I could see myself setting up an Angular course this way

I think you can configure PiHole to return whatever IP you want for blocklisted domains. I guess you could set up a box with nginx that inspects the request content type header and returns generic content. But, TLS will cause problems here. You’d need to MITM all the traffic and serve up your own root certs, install them on devices etc.

Google seems to have a massive inability to deliver lithium ion battery information. It's nearly impossible to find recent articles I know about unless I bookmark them and skip Google entirely.

That said, I don't have the numbers whining battery price increases, but I would expect that when Lazard releases 2022 data in the coming weeks it will show an increase in cost over 2022. There is absolutely massive demand, and supple chain shortages for all sorts of parts on battery installs which is increasing costs.

And all the car manufacturers are about 3-5 years behind where they should be in securing their own production capacity, leading to massive shortages of batteries for cars. And since cars are a higher margin product than utility installs, the car market is going to get served before the utility scale storage market when it comes to allocating limited production capacity. (That said most utility storage is LFP, which is not usually the preferred chemistry for US cars where customers still want massive batteries).

Prayer, meditation and therapies like CBT certainly help prevent relapse, but hard core alcoholism requires medical intervention to manage the shakes and delirium tremens (the best and most vivid hallucinations I have had. Better than plant hallucinogens.) The very definition of the disorder is a total loss of control. It's a very scary feeling to know you're going over the falls and there's no way to the safety of shore. The medical community long ago classified addiction as a disease (substance abuse disorder)

I used to read Nisargadatta to try and get sober, but it didn't help. He seems to imply there's some deeper level of consciousness beyond just resting without thought or emotion in the present moment.

I found the teachings of Zen to much more helpful and in fact many Western therapies like DBT and Wise Mind are based on those principles.
