I mean, Amazon does a pretty good job of helping you write reasonably resource-efficient applications, and I’ve migrated from AWS to GCP and there wasn’t any particular lock-in that one wouldn’t have experienced in moving between a cloud provider and on prem or vice versa. Moreover, as it pertains to this post, AWS provides dozens of high-quality SDKs so you never actually have to know about this stuff. I’ve been using AWS for a decade and I’ve never known about how requests are formed.
High speed and low latency are overvalued at the moment, because they are so important to the functioning of the capitalist internet.

Usenet, IRC, email - discussion, conversation, mail - all worked fine for decades on the old, low speed internet. What exactly are we getting in exchange for all this high-availability nonsense anyways?
I'm a very, very happy HogBay customer. Two comments: the product is high quality and the support is outstanding. Recommended.

Strongly calling B.S. on this claim.
Yeah, there's a reason why people who make the AOC leaderboard overwhelmingly use Python. It's very efficient for small-ish tasks like AOC.

I'm really liking Nim as a hobby these days. It has a very powerful macro system, which might interest OP. Nim macros basically normal nim code, executed at compile time by an interpreter built-in the compiler, which can directly manipulate or generate Nim AST.

Macros aren't exactly easy to read or write (again, it consists of manipulating AST nodes directly), but they can generate any amount of boilerplate code you need.
I just boil water now as a rule. When I make tea I usually boil little more and just pour the rest into a glass pitcher. When it cools I have water for drinking.

I know it wouldn't help for what happened in Flint but those events are rare. Never heard of single one outside US.

Funny thing is that I drank a lot of tap water as a child and it was perfect. But then I started buying sparklig water and tapwater never tasted good to me again.
If I need (for my small European country) 15 TWh of electricity per year, and my typical rainfall onto catchment area for hydro is enough to do maybe 10 TWh per year, I'm 5 TWh short. In the 1980s you'd have probably solved that with CCGT, but that means finding or importing methane (natural gas). If I also build 10 TWh of wind production, even though I can't tell you a year in advance which days it will blow hardest, it will blow, and now my total capacity is enough to run solid green, because when the wind blows the hydro schemes save water to use another day.

Wind production varies year on year, but only maybe 10% where the variation day to day is almost 100%. So wind + hydro should pair nicely because the hydro plant can ramp up or down production as appropriate.
Well, here you go then…

As a poster above has already said, it might have been a finite difference method, because they solve the same problems.

Unlike FEM, finite difference methods have been used right since the origins of differential and integral calculus, with Newton and Leibniz.

There are also precursors of the modern FEM, like the Ritz or Galerkin methods, which could have been used by Prandtl.
Nice stuff! However, when I try to drag the start/end points around the map it has an 'eraser' effect, deleting walls as it goes. Also you can try using black or darker gray for walls.
Very nice post. I also miss the early days of the internet.

I'm currently trying to come up with the cheapest, but still safe, design for a Li-Ion battery charger. This is for my work and saving on the component cost translates to decent $$$. It's a kind of a journey back in time for me as I no longer do much of low level hardware design otherwise. I'm happy now that I got it down to about $5 for the PCB, without using any unobtainium parts. It's really hard with the ongoing semiconductor supply chain crisis.

Outside of work, I'm way too much into fishing. Moved to a new coastal city a few years ago and got into it via my work mates. It's mostly rock fishing for me. It's really addictive to me. I have always been fascinated by marine life. I think some deep part of our brain craves the fishing/hunting aspect with the random reward. If we'd be able to get a good fish whenever we wanted, it would not be nearly as addictive. I've had some good successes because I put way too much time and money into this hobby. But, my family loves seafood as well and they support me in this. The trick is to find "liminal time" in between family, work, etc, and get up very early to drive to my fishing spot, get my few hours of fishing, then drive back and work from home. So no one is feeling like I'm stealing too much time.

Next logical step in the agenda. Taking preliminary science as absolute truth and building from there to inject ideology in the society.

If bumblebees love to play football, we should have by now a ton of empirical observations of bumblebees videotaped doing the same in nature where there is not a lack of small stones or fruits. Were are those recordings?

Another perfectly possible explanation is bumblebees instintively cleaning tiny stems or obstacles from the landing strip in front of the colony

An a third would be bumblebees deterring and fighting against what they perceive as "beetles" or other insects, that could steal or became parasites of the colony.

But not... bumblebees must be Ronaldo now. This is that your infantile audience expects
There are only 8500 coal power plants in the world generating 20% of all emissions.

“Coal-fired power stations emit over 10 Gt of carbon dioxide each year,[4] about one fifth of world greenhouse gas emissions, so are the single largest cause of climate change”

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coal-fired_power_station

Half of them were built in the past 20 years?

And we subsidize the industry.

“In 2020 the coal industry was subsidized $US18 billion”

I’m always surprised that we haven’t replaced all of them with green energy.
It copped a few too many splashes at the beach and never came back to life.

A key criteria for the replacement was "I never want to have to think about whether something will break it" and the Instinct has lived up to that. Have spent the last few years wearing it surfing, snowboarding, through many bush fires and one structure fire where I forgot to take it off before donning. Hasn't skipped a beat.
I think the point of "But it is only electricity" means that _currently_ the situation is not as good as one might think based on electricity production.
Great work. Interesting site.

I find it stunning that Germany, a country that according to Wikipedia has about the same solar potential as Alaska, produced 16,4GW ! from Solar, this last 2 November.
Are you getting confused by the image that looks as if it might be interactive, that opens a slightly bigger image when you tap it? That confused me! I guess it's a native app only?
Baby is currently 11 weeks.

Fed baby is a happy baby. You want the baby to always have food coma during the newborn phase. He was able to sleep better and wake up once at night. At the moment he’s hitting 7.5 hours at a time.

When he woke up in the middle of the night, I would change him then feed.

Babies make a lot of noise when they are sleeping, you can wait a few minutes after they start crying to pick them up. They could be “active” sleeping.
I've seen a funny observation that bottled water comapnies don't produce water, they just package it. So what they are selling to you are just plastic bottles.

Ah right, I do remember that actually. IIRC you could leave the game running in an asteroid field to level up evasion/shields until they patched it.
I have tried multiple desktops (or "Spaces" as they are called on macOS). They work fine when I want to switch to a completely different task (eg. I'll create a space for doing my monthly accounting), but when I use spaces to switch back and forth between eg. IDE and source control, then I have the same problem that switching spaces makes the current task disappear and I forget what I wanted to do.
It just seems obvious to me: there are times in your life and working life when you bust your balls to get X done. You do what it takes, and you set your own limits for what this is. The limits are set by age, experience, work type, etc.

But. This shouldn't ever be the norm, and it shouldn't ever be expected as the norm. It should be exceptional circumstances that have people working at 150%, not business as usual.

If it's business as usual making this happen, there's something badly wrong with the business.

> It's not clear from your post what the restaurant norms are in any of those countries.

Sorry, that's my fault, I was editing my comment to make it more concise but managed to also extract its clarity. :)

I would agree about Italy and Spain. At least in Italy, many restaurants provided some regional brand of mineral water from a local-ish spring, but I virtually never saw someone asking for tap water.

In the US, I would even be surprised if I asked for water and was brought a bottle that I would be charged for, although I'm sure there are places that will try and up-sell bottled water.

In Switzerland, there's something of a dichotomy in my experience. In homes and most public spaces, including self-serve restaurants that often have a filling station, tap water is almost always the expectation. It's also much more accepted to drink directly by putting one's mouth up to a tap, whereas in the US I imagine most people would find a dedicated water fountain, cup, bottle, etc. With waiter service, however, there seems to be at least a weak expectation in Switzerland that a patron will order some beverage. Asking for tap water didn't seem frowned upon, but I would get noticeably more hesitation for it than anywhere I've been in the US or Canada.

EDIT: Minor rewording for clarity.
Were you doing things the hard way on purpose? It's literally one click to spin up a Jupyter notebook on GCP, arguably less if you use Colab (instant access to shared instances), and I'm sure AWS has a similar service.

My main problem with AWS has always been the console UI being horrendous and inconsistent, the poor documentation and having far too many services.

Also, AWS not having something like Azure's resource groups or GCP's projects and instead telling you to create accounts for different projects and environments, and using AWS Organizations or however they call it sounds like a huge PITA.
Of course not, I would accept a different job. The game is doing these or else's within the week and not compensating for them.

A company that pays 70 hour a week worker is paying for at least 85 hours of time or can be sued and the worker must not have any more appropriate offers that the employer tricked them out of taking.

yea.. I don't drink alcohol. I am not specifically avoiding it.I just find it boring as far as drugs go. People regard me as an alien when they find out s I'll usually have a drink just to go along but I'll never drink it on my own.

You are aware that the "water tap" also goes through pipes to get to you? It doesn't originate like magic at the faucet exit.
This is a very much valid point. Science is amazingly cool, but gives you a pretty shit life.

I'll encourage my kids towards science as much as needed and let their develop their thinking while they're at it, and congratulate them for the enlightenment when they come tell me that working as a scientist sucks. It's still really good for them to pursue that career early, if it's what they enjoy.

Haloo from Portland, OR. I am not passionate right now because my to-do list has been on overload for two quarters, mostly work-wise, and am feeling stuck and frazzled. Could use a little more dopamine (or whatever that motivation chemical is) so I can get that big functional test written and then open that PR and then hit the sack.

What I am pondering, as my passion fires burn low, is the scant tech or evidence of it that slipped past all the human wreckers and natural catastrophes of past ages. The zodiac, the 12-hour clock face, ancient cartographic maps, Codex Oera Linda, pyramids on every continent, submerged pre-historic coastal towns. I dream about the ancient mariners who carried some of that tech to us; their adventures and world would make a fun videogame. Does anything manmade remain preserved under the ice in Antarctica?

Huge, laser and drill-cut stones, some quarried hundreds of miles away, and also man-made (poured?) ultra-hard stones. SO MUCH STONE REMAINS, yet I know almost nothing.

All the achievements of our forebears mostly now wiped away, not even accessible in myth. Understanding my cosmic role today: "to keep it going" as it were and not to be remembered or memorable - although I strive to be - because that's a worthwhile goal. And then Jesus saves and sustains the rest of me so that I do not fall into despair.

Understanding now how close we are to wiping the slate clean again - asking why particularly the political left are suddenly warmongers and legislating poverty by turning the energy spigot off worldwide at a frantic pace. What in hell are tptb racing to get ahead of?? Do they fear something manmade or natural (or other?!)

Regretting how much slavery there is in this fallen world and knowing how much I have thrived as a result of it. Has one whole human life been taken to make mine comfortable? More? Regretting that now, and now selfishly, especially if a crash is looming.

Enough pondering! Gotta make hay while the sun shines.
Have you looked at ECS Fargate? That should manage the instances for you transparently. It’s been around for probably five years or so.
Yeah, even if the water is routinely tested and pure, and the fountain and its pipes are well maintained and not full of mold/bacteria/lead, public drinking fountains can be full of germs, especially the parts everyone has to touch. I'd rather carry a bit of water with me and not even have to worry about it.
Keep it up. Slava Ukraini!
Gab is not an instance of Mastodon. It is a fork of Mastodon that has been modified to not interoperate with Mastodon instances and other fediverse services. Because of this, Gab is not part of the fediverse and has no place on instances.social.

If you want to create a list of social networks that includes Mastodon instances and Gab together, go for it. But there is no reason a list of Mastodon instances needs to include a service that is not a Mastodon instance.

> When you are packed 3 deep and 3 high on an electic train being screamed at that you are personally destroying the planet (by taking this train to work?) it brings the climate wars home.

Had the displeasure of meeting some of those activists as well. While I don't support their means of protest (in Germany the constantly glue themselves onto the street) I understand their message. However, considering the activists blocked a packed tram line that is powered exclusively by renewables, I'm not sure if they themselves understand the issues completely.
> Letting trillion-dollar companies freely grind up the collective creative output of planet earth into digital meat slurry to fuel automatic content-generators seems like a bad thing.

The description is pretty loaded, though.

"Grind up" evokes Microsoft taking away the creative output and destroying it forever to create an inferior product. When in fact, the original code is still here, you just also have a smart auto-completion tool built with it.

Yes, there are concerns about license laundering and corporations taking advantage of open-source code without contributing to it, but these concerns are a lot more subtle and nuanced than "megacorporations are grinding up the collective output of the planet into slurry".

My hot take: piracy everywhere, and screw intellectual property. It does more good for the world if anyone is allowed to build upon what anyone else has done before without having to ask for permission first, even if it makes monetization harder.

The article says flipping is at an all-time high. That implied inventory held, but it doesn’t directly make that claim.
After spending some time on few forums I realized I miss heavily threaded discussions from NNTP times, so I started thinking about designing modern alternative (centralized, where server keeps track of messages you marked as read).
The problem is that you've put an image there that looks like the app and when you press it it actually loads the image separately, making it feel like it's interactive when it's not.

On my phone there's no indication that there's more content below the fold and after it has opened the image the content is gone.
Linux Desktop can be a replacement but like you said, it depends sometimes. Adobe and a few other creative software are not available on Linux, which means the only remaining alternative is MacOS. But I believe for the rest, normal daily usage, Linux Desktop is the perfect and the most pro-consumer software out there.

Knowing what I know now, I would have jumped ship in your shoes in an instant. After 5 years of that work you could be free from working ever again and do whatever you feel like. I've heard that RT for example can pay you up to 1M per year for entry level, and looking at their profit margins I don't really doubt it.

> The slippery slope is if bottled water is a con, aren’t all bottled and canned drinks a con?

I'm usually reluctant about the products that contain a lot of water. Mostly because I have cheap water at home already. Why would I buy and haul more water?

So why would I buy a detergent gel if I can buy powder? Liquid soap if I can buy a bar?
My most productive schedule is 8am-4pm. 'Real' coding until about 2pm, the rest of the time on code reviews, bug triage, updating tickets etc. By 4pm my brain is kind of fuzzy.
Of course, now I have to work around a 1hr 'standup' 11-12 every day
(Not the OP) An analogy: would you quit a $140k developer job for a job that pays the same, but has you answering the phone for 8 hours a day in a Google Support call center, helping people reset their gmail password 100 times a day?

I'm guessing most developers would prefer keeping their dev job rather than doing easier work at the same pay in a call center.

Edit: To make the analogy even more direct, I think the majority of engineers would even prefer to keep a $140k engineering job, even if Walmart were paying $140k to be a cashier.
