>You’re referring to the U.S. right?

You must claim to be very sarcastic!

No, I'm refering to only country in XXI century that literally decided to annex other country's territory - two times. All that while losing war, and deciding to unleash hell on civilians they claim to be "their kin".

At least we can cheer our hearts looking at fields littered with dead russian soldiers and see that there are countries of the world that won't leave those who need help alone.

It has everything to do with USD dominance. Ghana is shouting out loud I can’t get my hands on USD. They’re echoing what the global market in general has been pricing.

Now true, having your product be a hot commodity everybody wants is good for business but there’s only so much of that before your competitor starts offering a more readily available product.

Pepper that with some morally objectionable stances the US has taken over the past 22 years and suddenly your ultra safe and liquid commodity while still good and desirable for this present crisis might not be as desirable for the post crisis era. Where one crack starts many others can possibly form.
Not sure I follow. A custom kernel doesn’t need to based on master.
Not that unlikely, but as far as I know he isn't actually charged with anything yet? But, even if I am correct on that, he almost undoubtedly will be at some point. You can lose a lot of poor and maybe middle class people's money and walk free, but FTX also lost some rich people's money. You don't lose that many rich people's money without getting charged, unless you're absolutely saintly in your behavior, which SBF certainly was not.
TIL. Thank you! I took a look and will definitely incorporate this in my work. Definitely a good idea.
Clowns are much more solid than clouds, which are famously density-light. Given their traditional proximity to solid ground, too, clowns are a much better choice of foundational substrate than a cloud to build on.
It seems to me that Jalopnik article is entirely based on a misunderstanding of what actually is on that CD. I get it's meant to put the sound system under stress in a controlled way, in order to _trigger_ the squeaks and rattles the customer laments during regular usage; it's not actually a recording of squeaks and rattles. "Another 100% correct hot take"? Way to miss the point entirely.
I wonder if SBF was really dumb enough to think he could just get away with it, forever. It makes no sense, like stealing a car you always wanted on camera with a gps tracker in it that you know traces your exact location. You know you're caught no matter how fun the drive is at the moment.
Warehouse packing help wanted, excellent penmanship required
As a slight correction, I believe Rosetta 2 also has a JIT mode, which is a bit more like conventional emulators. But it's used infrequently, eg when dealing with x86_64 apps that themselves use a JIT.
> US policies will force many EU businesses to either delocalize to the US or to shutdown, as if it was all planned, boosting the US economy, what ever it takes, god save the dollar

Always has been.

There were some tin foil hat types that were saying that the goal of the Ukraine/Russia conflict was 2 fold. 1. To get rid of Putin 2. To make the EU rely on the US instead of Russia.

It appears the second part is working. The more the US escalated the conflict the more power it held over the EU. Some might even say that the bombing of Nord Stream helped this endeavor.

Just for prosperity. The Orange Man was laughed at and ridiculed when bring up reliance on Russian supplies. Didn't age very well.

After all, Apple's Metal precedes Vulkan by two years, and the vast majority of gaming platforms do not support Vulkan, or Vulkan is a distant third-party API on them: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33742823
I recall another comment on here which explained the duality, along the lines of:

- "Factorio feels just like programming ... but without the constraints of having to be reliable, or having to do what other people tell me to" => fun.

- "Factorio feels just like programming .... but I don't get anything out of doing it" => not fun.
Shipping gas without a pipeline is expensive and there is limited capacity to do so on both ends. What is Europe expecting? Massive subsidies from the US on its gas exports?
The real reason is there's just too many units
Over the past few weekends I built a AutoLayout constraints DSL. This DSL makes writing and reading constraints more intuitive by making intent clear and removing boilerplate code. It exposes their linear nature - just like Apple discusses in the documentation. I document the project in this article as well as a youtube video. Part of my journey to becoming a better developer.

Yikes, this is totally the first thing you need to come to expect when working with MSFT.
Why would they un-invite him though? After Pete Carrol made the call to pass on the 1-yd line , everybody wanted to interview him. Much more than they wanted to hear from Bellichick.
No big deal. They can just rename it AS (Artificial Stupidity) and it works perfectly.

Hetzner has a German presence I believe, and would work for running k8 on bare metal for n8n to burst to temporarily for running their orchestration and/or workflow runners. Might even be cheaper in the long run versus a cloud provider. Just gotta wire up the helm charts, containers, and whatever message bus is pushing their messages around. Can write to blob storage from anywhere if that’s a component of the app.
Oh man, I can remember product owners asking for something that wasn’t what they really wanted because they thought what they wanted would be hard to implement, but of course what they really wanted was easier to do than what they asked for.

Please inform me how Germany is acting in its best interest in terms of its energy policy.
I've seen statements that at least pretend like the company cares and the steps they are taking to deal with the issue.

Something along the lines of "the safety of our users is our highest priority and we are investigating these reports", no admissions, no legal risk, but they couldn't even do that much.

Well said. In their docs they actually call out this exact issue, and mention that they'd like to improve it in the future, but it would require significant work and that's not necessarily worth it for them.

It would be nice to see a lot of competing small-fry players innovating in the email space. In an ideal world, I could just shop around between mail providers with my domain and pick whichever option provides the best price:features ratio for my needs. I was pretty keen on Proton for a while but they're diving deep in the VPN space, and their approach to encryption makes it nearly impossible to use them with simple mail apps like K9 and Apple Mail.

Much like the browser space, it's not healthy for Google to run a near-monopoly of email. We need a healthy number of alternatives out there so they can't push consumer unfriendly standards and creep more and more advertising into their email product.

That sounds insightful but it is wrong - Vancouver BC lost 3500 people on its streets last year.

But there's no reason to put people in expensive and dangerous prisons when minimum security facilities will do. When you're drying people out and have the only supply around for 50km they aren't going to leave.

Russo/Sino war against Ukraine is obviously now accelerating this move for europe.

Also why there's so much support for Ukraine from all these western countries. Not to mention China's military attacking India in the north. At least for now it has deescalated and not an ongoing war between india and china.

India's military expenditure is crazy; more or less in line with china. They both know what's coming.

My contract doesn't forbid it. Employee policy does stipulate that "regular and ongoing" work must be approved. So, in my case, if I wanted to step into the OE world (I don't) I'd be limited to irregular work-- short term fixed length contract work I suppose, and then I'm under no obligation to seek approval. This seems at least a little common. A quick search on it turned up the intel employee handbook which actually has the assumption of outside work completely baked into it, and simply sets about the policies under which is must be performed.

But for cases where it would actually forbid another job: Why feel obligated to adhere to that? If you're doing the expected work load in 20 hours, and are not compensated for seeking out additional work, the unspoken norms and social contract between worker & employee is fundamentally flawed very much in favor of the company. It's a have-your-cake-and-eat-it-too situation. The company wants the freedom to fire a worker who can't complete their work on time and therefore doesn't deserve the $X compensation at the same time that they expect and feel entitled to the windfall reaped by their good fortune to stumble upon a worker who can do 2x the work at the same salary. OE is not for me, by the hypocrisy of the power imbalance and socially constructed norms around this stuff should not be taboo or held of on a pedestal as principles of labor <-> money exchange that can't be questioned.

It's only unethical if you subscribe to the same set of ethics as the ones corporation propagate, ones where all of the terms are favorable to them when they happen to get an above average worker. I don't see it as unethical to violate a workplace policy with ethical foundations that are not compatible with my own interests and respectful of my own capabilities so long as I'm still getting the expected work done.
> AWS .. Frankfurt is just another region

Unlike GCP and Azure, all AWS regions are (were) partitioned by design. This "blast radius" is (was) fantastic for resilience, security, and data sovereignty. It is (was) incredibly easy to be compliant in AWS, not to mention the ruggedness benefits.

AWS customers with more money than cloud engineers kept clamoring for cross-region capabilities ("Like GCP has!"), and in last couple years AWS has been adding some.

Cloud customers should be careful what they wish for. If you count on it in the data center, and you don't see it in a well-architected cloud service provider, perhaps it's a legacy pattern best left on the datacenter floor. In this case, at some point hard partitioning could become tough to prove to audit and impossible to count on for resilience.

Why not run 1-2 releases behind and test/qualify a later release?

A commenter below gave a good example of a company that would need to run a bleeding edge kernel (Red Hat). The vast majority of companies would never need to do that though.
I suppose a number of them could be video appearances.

I wouldn't be surprised if Bankman-Fried is still quite welcome to be in this.
The money is not "dirty" in the typical definition of the word. "Dirty" money needs to be "laundered" so that you can appear to have a genuine justification of having it. That is, it's basically just a matter of whether it was declared as income to tax authorities.

The FTX money was all above board from that perspective. Taking money back from parties that FTX paid seems very unlikely.
The issue with DDD is not in the philosophical concept. In that he is spot on. Things are in hierarchies, everything is described by a combination of two or more patterns that are more fundamental than those below.

The problem is always in people thinking it is an easy magic solution. DDD is not easy. If it were it wouldn’t do anything.

It is in fact very challenging to come up with an ubiquitous language, and to have it evolve as our own understanding evolves.

Organizations looking to use it to make things easier, are doomed to fail. What it can help with is making things good and right and even beautiful in how a problem is solved.
Of course. The U.S. has always wanted to dominate energy sales to Europe. The conflict is very much about dominance in the Caspian Sea:

https://www.heritage.org/europe/report/time-us-strategy-the-...

"The importance that Russia places on the Caspian can also help explain, at least in part, its determination to occupy Crimea and fully control the Sea of Azov. One of the two canals connecting the Caspian to the outside world is the Volga–Don Canal, which links the Caspian Sea with the Sea of Azov. In the past year Russia has been using the Volga–Don Canal more often to move warships between the Caspian Sea and the Sea of Azov,41"

Both the U.S. and Russia want influence in a region, so a proxy war ensues.
Not so conspiratorial, I don't know about AMD but companies like Samsung do sell modified SKUs (I believe mainly TVs) with generally worse processor power than their not BF counterparts. A quick Google (or HN even) search should bring up a few articles about this behavior.

Thanks a lot! You are totally right, it is for sure something we will find a solution for. But honestly, do I not want to. As a startup, you have very few resources and deliberately place some exact bets. Deprioritizing everything to work on something for a long time that was not prioritized, just to then end up again where you were before (a working cloud solution) is the last thing any startup should be forced to do. Anyway, it seems like we do not have much choice here.
Agreed. I would trust them regarding the world’s largest burrito or sourest lemon, but not this.
This would all work today, though if it became a trend, manufacturers could start adding vehicle integrity checks into the power-on sequence that would refuse to start if modifications are detected -- and if they had the first-party components use cryptographic signatures to authorize themselves, DMCA would then step in and make circumvention probably criminal again.
Agreed, but with today's tech it ought to be a simple matter to quickly (on-the-fly) sort out and separate brown, green and clear glass even with very small fragments.

Adding the facility would cost, but then any attempt to clean up the environment won't come free. If we want to make progress we should get used to the fact.

Factorio I think is particularly poorly suited to memory managed languages. My factory is enormous, hundreds of thousands of machines all doing their thing in real time. Thousands of robots flying around delivering goods. I think that really does in fact demand high level optimization.

I'll reply to my own comment in response to a since-deleted reply that went something to the effect of "this is terrible advice for a young startup trying to get to product market for":

I'm totally on board with the idea of being scrappy and taking shortcuts in order to get to PMF as soon as possible. However, it seems the proof is in the pudding here. If you can't service customers due to lack of compute resources, you can't get to PMF.

Also, yes there are certain infrastructure and network topologies that would absolutely be overkill for a young startup. I don't think multi-region is one of those things. I don't have experience with Azure directly, but on every other cloud providers, going multi-region is not something that requires huge amounts of time or resources. You just need to be mindful of it from the outset. And if you decide not to be, then at least be intentional and conscious about the risk and have a plan in place for what happens when you get bit by deciding not to go multi-region.
I briefly worked on an Azure team, and what I remember hearing (a few years ago) was that they were building out data warehouses as fast as they can, but they simply cannot keep up with demand. A good problem to have, I thought, but maybe not in light of this news!
Pretty interesting article. TLDR: they're now using anycast for egress, not just ingress.

Each data center has a single IP for each country code (so that they can make outgoing requests that are geolocated in any country). In order to achieve that, they have a /24 or larger range for each country, and announce it from all their data centers, and then they route the traffic over their backbone to the appropriate data center for that IP.

Then in the data center, they share the single IP across all their servers by giving each server a range of TCP/UDP port space (instead of doing stateful NAT).

> My only quibble with this one is with step 19 ("hangIf3") which relies on "infinity is not considered even" — that is a distraction IMO, and if I understand correctly (have not thought about this carefully) the example could be replaced with something that involves an actual odd number.

Indeed, you could just replace haltIf3or7 by haltIf3or5or7 (or whatever). (And, of course, whether or not infinity is considered even cannot be deduced from the information given, so relying on this technicality here I'd argue is beyond distracting and into the realm of so underspecified that it might be wrong. Or we could raise the same objection mentioned earlier, that it's not specified what kind of object `n` is, and numeric types often have only finitely many inhabitants ….)
duh, of course the war in Ukraine is such a good business for the US: both its energy industry and its defense industrial complex.

to me, it is OK that the US acts following its own best interests; but it's much more problematic that EU countries acts against their own interests.

But, long term, that's ok: long term this hardship will make EU economies more independent, we are reducing the use fossil fuels so incredibility fast, making our houses more isolated from heat and cold. So perhaps we might still winning the long game.
It is a bit conspiratorial. Since everything that’s is being made is shipped immediately and nobody has a warehouse to store bad Black Friday electronics I would take such statements with a grain of salt.

That is fairly typical for moderate doses.

Not only that, but at least some companies just increase the prices slowly before Black Friday, such that what is shown as a discount on Black Friday is not really one. You might end up paying less 3 months after.

I'm fairly new to NixOS, but suspect that a NixOS install might end up smaller over time. With the ability to try out one-off package installs that don't become part of the more permanent config, and the "garbage collection" mechanism that cleans up, I think I at least would have less long-term cruft.
That's a symptom of the naiveté. We have a generation of politicians who have utterly failed to plan for local energy resources because they assumed they could rely on external sources and so it was in their economic interests to invest elsewhere. Perhaps I should have said 'all countries act in what their elites believe is their best interest'.
