This is nothing new, Azure has been having capacity problem for over a year now[1]. Germany is not the only region affected at all, it's the case for a number of instance types in some of their larger US regions as well. In the meantime you can still commit to reserved instances, there is just not a guarantee of getting those instances when you need them.

The biggest advice I can give is 1. keep trying and grabbing capacity continuously, then run with more than what you need. 2. Explore migrating to another Azure region that runs less constrained. You mention a new region would be complicated, but it is likely much easier than another cloud.

That article uses psychosis and schizophrenia interchangeably. There's also no mention of the familial nature of schizophrenia. There's a genetic link in many cases and there's been work in that area that's starting to identify particular genes that are associated with the disorder.

It could be that infection with T. gondii is sometimes the difference between simply having a predisposition towards schizophrenia and actually developing the symptoms. Pot use in the late teens and early 20s can have the same effect. It doesn't cause schizophrenia, but it may be a trigger than leads a genetically predisposed individual to develop the disorder.
Infinite resources is only marketing and no hyperscaler on the market should ever promise that or give people that impression if they haven't accomplished scaling all throughout the entire supply chain.

None of these discussions ever go anywhere.

“Mono world order” is the appropriate term when the US can go around conquering other people in their perceived self interest (Iraq, Afghanistan) but says nobody else can.
"Blame capitalism"

No, blame the lack of effective regulation to keep capitalism under ethical control.

Yes, blame capitalist for lobbying very effectively to stop legislated regulation that would keep them ethical.

Yes, blame us, the citizenry, for letting our political representatives be influenced by capitalists so protecting their interests instead of ours.

I used to be a technical seller for Azure. This situation is obviously not great for you as a customer but there are proactive steps you can take to prevent this going forward. Reach out to your sales team and work with them on your roadmap for compute requirements going forward. The sales team has a forecast tool that feeds back into the department that buys and racks the equipment. If you can provide enough lead time, they will make sure you have compute resources available in your subscriptions.
Suppose that the penalty for this was that you were forced to halt sales and offer a full refund to all purchasers the original price until your phones’ emergency function worked. I’d bet that Google would magically be able to repurpose some of their billions in profits to hiring some QA testers.

... wait, what? How are they defining 'reserved'?
This is because people refuse to acknowledge and solve the core issues. Techies think all you need to do is to create a ideologically superior technology and people will gravitate to it over time.

People will gravitate towards whatever is easiest unless incentivized to do otherwise. Usually incentives are either social or financial and interestingly both are being attempted currently.

The left-leaning folks are trying the social pressure route. One of the themes of the modern left is trying to change culture in order to pressure people into doing the right thing. You can see this right now with the vitriol against Elon Musk on twitter. This vitriol creates social pressure.

The libertarian-minded folks are attempting the financial route. One way of viewing crypto is as a tool to bribe people away from traditional institutions. Crypto wallets are essentially bribing people to install cryptographic tools onto their devices. De-fi is trying to lure people away from traditional financial institutions.

How you judge either movement is up to you. I’m just saying what I’ve observed. It’s also worth noting that each movement is creating copies of traditional web apps. There is a crypto version of reddit and a federated version of reddit for example.

For me it happens in the second monitor (120Hz with HDMI) there's a lag in the cursor movement. When I switch to X11 that lag is gone and the movement feels more fluid.
The strange thing is that I don't see that effect on the laptop screen (144Hz). I'm using Plasma btw

Normally failures like this would be addressed through legislation. Perhaps a $10,000 fine per 911 call failure incident. With regulatory capture and half the voting population against regulation, this is unlikely to happen though.

Short of that, boycotts could be organized. Maybe a senior executive at T-Mobile loses their kid in a car accident because the 911 call didn't go through. So they decide to drop Google for 2 years or something.

> Europe has pursued its own protectionist economic policies for decades, neglected their military funding, and pursued energy policy that made them extremely reliant on known bad actor Russia

Technically from the EU27 only Germany, Austria, Italy, Czechia, Slovakia, and Bulgaria are the ones actually dependent on Russian Gas (6 out of 27 nations). It's important to not generalize.

Also most of the EU's protectionism is around making sure we have a Farming sector for food security and Food standards for Food Safety. I don't have any issue with being 'protected' from clorinated chicken.

On military spending all EU countries spend at least half of the target 2% of GDP from Nato, only Luxembourg is below that.

In comparison the US spends about 7% of GDP but let's not be naive that this is very much catalyzed by Military Industrial complex lobbying rather than some deep desire of preserving world order.

Also, not every game has to target every platform, especially when we're talking about radically different inputs / outputs !

I'm honestly surprised about Factorio going to the Switch (especially since they supposedly started working on it before the Steam Deck, which I could have seen as having been a «tech demo stepping stone»), considering how much Factorio relies on precise mouse clicking !

Every Layout. Not directly for specific solutions and components but more to get inspired from them and from latest CSS capabilities they use (seeing them in action beats reading specs). Updates for life are promised.
Are these insufficient funds on long-standing accounts, or relatively new accounts? It seems like it would be pretty easy for a competitor to target a small gym by signing up several new accounts, paying for a month or two, then emptying all the bank accounts at once, causing transactions to fail. If the gym has 1.1K MRR and charges $100/mo per subscriber (that's what my private gym charges for open gym w/o personal training), you're talking about ~11 transactions per month. Failing 3 out of 11 transactions (27%) would probably trigger automated fraud systems.
I mean, they could also just put an end to it today without any scanning tech.
Yeah, the cost of porting to a new platform needs to be lower than the money you think you will make out of it.

I think Factorio's code quality allows the developers to make the ports relatively cheap.

Big studios have so many developers that come and go and just work on legacy code that seems to make assumptions about the platform on every level. The cost becomes too high and not worth it.

It's because one is greedy, but because it's bloated.

If I remember correctly the studio behind Mini Metro gave up Linux on their new game because it was too time consuming to run the game and test it. Obviously if you lack tests and need to have manual testers all the time, new platforms won't help you. (I'm making assumptions from the blog posts I read, I might be wrong about the real reasons.)
If you want 1 instance, you're right. If you want 10 - 20 instances of one type in a region, the other poster's experience matches my own: you have to open a support request to ask for a quota increase, and that is not an automated process.

If you garden then you may want to know your actual amount of rainfall to gauge how much watering you need to do. You'd be surprised how much rainfall can actually vary over a small area compared to a regional average.

There's a very complete System/360 through modern zSeries emulator [1] [2] that runs basically every IBM mainframe OS. IBM does not license their recent operating systems or languages to run on it. Though you can of course run Linux, or older versions of MVS or VM. Lack of OS and tool licensing is a showstopper for many users who might otherwise transition away from IBM hardware through emulation.

lol, Reddit's Chat has been a disaster since the day they rolled it out.
This is wishful thinking. People will use whatever is easiest even if it means centralization.

There are two routes we could take to fix this. One is building social pressure and a social consciousness around federation. The other is to bribe people, like how crypto social media rewards people for making popular posts.
Thanks a lot, that is very helpful and great to know! Def. something we will do in the future.
With respect to point of original argument:

>get old before it gets rich

If PRC's official population is as low as Yi thinks, then her per capita GDP is already "secretly" high income at ~14000 USD. She would technically already have gotten rich before old. CCP has incentive to overreport population / underreport GDP to keep "developing" country status.

>India ones are still over replaceability

Indian overall TFR this year is ~2.0, but more important to break down Indian TFR by state, which will reveal all the high HDI/developmed/educated regions are ~1.6 and trending down, while the underdeveloped and poorly educated regions are still >2. The TLDR is India's demographic divident in her high potential regions is basically over, while low potential regions are generating excess bodies that will have little opportunity develop. Recipe for disaster in democracy, and hence:

> India, even more so than China, seems likely to "get old before it gets rich."

Of course India is going to grow, by a lot, but much of her high potential demographic divident is already tapped out while stuck in low middle income unless the system get it's shit together.
OK, there's a super-high limit 100x greater than what phone hardware is capable of putting out. But that's not what carriers are testing -- they want to see that it only uses say 0.5 mW, not 1 mW, when close to the base station.
You want to be in a position where you can spin up in a nearby region and pretend it's local and have things be good enough for a while. Properly building out multi-region is hard, and multi-cloud isn't worth it because it improves how you handle rare events (where half the internet is already down) with ongoing operational toil.
Damn! It's leaky abstractions again
> Deprioritize all other work, get everyone working on this little DevOps/Infra project.

This is doubly worthwhile as if this stumble kills the startup (it can happen) this will be excellent experience to take to the next employer :)
> I think Apple TV is very overlooked by developers too.

Because no one nows if the platform will be there or not. Apple's commitment to it has been lackluster. And since there are no dedicated controllers, you'll need controllers from a system... that you probably already own, so why play on Apple TV?
What VM sizes?

Besides what’s already been said, internal capacity differs HUGELY based on VM SKU. If you need GPUs or something it’ll be tough. But a lot of the newer v4/v5 general compute SKUs (D/Da/E/Ea/etc) have plenty of capacity in many regions.

If changing regions sounds like a pain, consider gambling on other VM size availability.

You probably don’t ever actually want to do that, except as a demonstration to someone who doesn’t know how HTTP works.

The answer to at least one of these is "Yes, it solves the halting problem."

This may be a semantic issue, where the author is asking if it accurately predicts halting for a single input.

But that is not the definition of the "halting problem".

The format is effective and interesting. But it does need some edits/clarifications.
Fucking no one uses Vulkan except maybe for Android skinner box vendors. Kronos should have just rubberstamped DX12 as the future.

Come to think of it, the fact that Fahrenheit -- next-generation "OpenGL" with a DX base and SGI-provided scene graph API -- failed probably set cross-platform graphics back years if not decades.
You can’t light yourself on fire just to keep others warm. Additionally, there is a reason why during the flight safety brief they ask that you put your own mask on before helping others. If you are incapacitated, you cannot provide any meaningful support sans perhaps your body being eaten or actually lit on fire, but that’s getting kind of dark.

Not saying that everything what the US is doing is great for everyone but it’s important to acknowledge that there are economic problems latent and otherwise, that the US must address locally in order to even engage in external affairs. We are using monetary, legislative, and executive tools to do this because those are the levers we can pull. It is not going to be “optimal” but is probably the best we got right now.

I don’t think [western] Europe is taking the care it needs for itself, but this difference in opinion can be attributed to differences in culture, e.g. Americans tends to be more individually-minded and European societies tend to focus on the collective.

Americans do, by and large, support efforts to support Ukraine and the Europe, even some of the most conservative people I know, ones who vehemently disagree with European governance/values, still very strongly support the cause of assisting our friends across the pond. It sucks that we’re having to deal with artificially induced inflation and grifters profiting off of this, but refinement of policy to prevent that takes years that Ukraine and the EU do not have to wait.

In my mind, people’s lives, freedoms, and their country they love are at stake and Americans who otherwise would not have given Ukraine a second thought before have found a deep respect and kinship for their resolve, determination, military ability, and bravery being faced with what was (at least at one time) one of the most powerful military forces in the world. Money can be replaced, refunded, sent as relief, but lives cannot.
OK, I looked at [1]:

>While Gates never outlined what he actually meant by “demilitarization”, the U.S. Department of Defense and most analysts use the phrase when referring to the European countries’ tendency to reduce the size of their armies, navies and air force personnel and delay updating their military hardware. However, European “demilitarization” also includes the cultural reorientation of most EU nations away from militarization and an overly international activism. Thus European “demilitarization” is also a matter of attitude rather than merely a question of expenditure on military forces and hardware.

There's some academic smoke-blowing for you. But let's make it simple: 2% of GDP to be spent on defense. They've agreed to do it, but until Ukraine they just refused. Was there some help from the US that they were missing?

Sorry, missed that. No, we do not.
Yep, it can happen that your packet gets routed to a different DC from a prior packet. But the routers in between the client and the anycast destination will do the same thing if the environment is the same. So to get routed to a new location, you would usually need either:

* A new (usually closer) DC comes online. That will probably be your destination from now on.

* The prior DC (or a critical link on the path to it) goes down.

The crucial thing is that the client will typically be routed to the closest destination to it. In the egress case the current DC may not be the closest DC to the server it is trying to reach so the return traffic would go to the wrong place. This system of identifying a server with unique IP/port(s) means that CF's network can forward the return traffic to the correct place.
Actually all programs halt, because eventually a component in your computer will wear out and it will crash.

But often mathematical models are more informative and interesting than the concrete physical objects they abstract.
Say you want 100 GPUs all inter connected to your multi petabyte data lake that’s being fed by your production workload.
