restic has a very similar feature set (it has compression now), and is well integrated with rclone.
What are the practicalities of the '680 GB Minimum Order'? I would have expected you pay by how much you use (hence the price per GB), but the minimal order (the submission form however won't let you submit less than 100GB, so it's a bit confusing there's a mis-match?) seems slightly at odds with that.

(The FAQ doesn't seem to answer that)
It's a bit unclear. Between the cartridge port and the A/V connector you should have access to the signals you need to make it work. If I had to guess, the fact that CSYNC reverses direction is kind of awkward for a device that needs to act as a transparent pass-through for non-32X games.
From experience, my rep load in SuperMemo was half of what it'd have been in Anki for Japanese. over time, gap would've exploded. Being the only people with 30 years of good data makes a pretty big difference
> And after all of it, here we are still talking about Elon, Tesla, and Twitter.

If he got paid for us talking about him, that'd be great. But he doesn't, not even on Twitter where advertising revenues were better before all the fuss. (There are people who get paid mostly from being famous, it's just they tend to operate well below "world's richest man" level, sell content or consumer goods considerably more mass market than the Model 3 and tend not see their net worth crash at the time their celebrity status goes mainstream)

Cause and effect is actually the reverse: the media started thinking his antics were interesting enough to cover because he'd already been very effective at promising spaceships and cars and organising people to deliver enough of his promises to earn him the status of maverick genius (and a lot of money). Nobody cares about your 420 jokes if you don't own a rocket company. He did the hype-man who delivers stuff well enough to more-or-less get away with dumb stuff that didn't exactly win the sort of headlines that sold Teslas (there is such thing as good free publicity; but they involve hyping his achievements and multiplanetary plans, not defending himself from libel actions). Then at some point he probably started reading his fans' takes on how his real genius was getting attention and so losing a board seat over a joke was actually 5D chess rather than a mistake to learn from, and now he's busy spending his fortune on being talked about...

(I guess you could still chalk that up as a win if you figure he always cared more about being noticed every day than stuff like going to Mars, but I don't think that's the case)
Sporadic, but deep and intense where it occurs .. and often to levels not appreciated by most Australians.

On the plus side many Australians have a deep respect for Aboriginals that's a mixture of genuine, idealised, etc.

You can see working evidence of Government working to correct aspects of racism in things such as the Coronial inquest into death of an indigenous 19-year-old K.Walker at the hands of police.

The uncovering of attitudes with the Territorial police toward aboriginal people has been slow but steady with more to come next month.

Mind you, not the first inquest or royal commision into aboriginal deaths in custody and I doubt it will be the last.

Yes, if that’s how someone feels I’d rather know about it.
Is there really a difference between deduplication and an infinite chain of incrementals, in this respect? Other than the restore process?
>You can't just say something is false if you don't like it.

No I trust experts in the field who by and large say CSAM is WAY WAY WAY down on the platform since Elon took over, and previous twitter exec turned a blind eye to the issue ignoring both internal and external sources while they focused on banning wrong think

>>Unless you have a press release somewhere about Twitter hiring thousands and thousands of additional moderators

I care about the amount of content, not the number of moderators.

Just look at the tweets from Ella Irwin [1], current head of trust and safety where she specifically before Elon "were 0 engineers and very few employees working on CSE and still no funding." Or the Account of @elizableu where she as chronicled the rapid improvements Elon has brought to this subject.

it is not a matter of my personal preference, I trust the people on the ground, not the media.

I value mobility over a trendy mechanical keyboard and loud speakers. Working from wherever I want, carrying a nice laptop anywhere, that beats any of the questionable advantages of a desktop. What do real “developers” do that they need the equivalent of a 747? I just need ssh to a decent server.
Where appropriate, I use "geek of all trades" specifically to avoid this.
Oh no... Beef jerky?!!!
Hey, you can't just mix quadrants like that.
Perhaps one good thing can come out of this:

Since most of Musk's cash comes from selling Tesla shares, perhaps this downward trend is a good opportunity for the U.S. government to buy SpaceX from him at a discount (or for the SpaceX investors to push for an IPO).
That’s fine. You’re the supervisor. You read the AI generated code and fix the bugs. Or ask them to fix it itself in the case of ChatGPT. Just like you’d do with junior engineers. They still have value despite less than perfect code.

“God damn irresponsible past adults who destroyed the stable environment humans had relied on for hundreds of years!!”

…Anyone who is tossing technology out every few years, burning fossil fuels is doing a great bit more damage to human history than this.
This was quite hard hitting. I mean, if you're a consumer in the US where even a simple piece of fruit comes packaged often in plastic, you know the piece of plastic isn't going to be completely recycled. I always thought this ends up in a landfill which is bad in itself!

There have been a few other outlets that have focused on this problem in the past. John Oliver did a segment too.

Are there any startups working in this space? Incineration is quite bad if the fumes aren't contained - is there research happening in controlling/eliminating toxins even if incineration is done?
It was a natural consequence of CRT displays being able to provide higher horizontal than vertical resolution. (If text would require higher vertical than horizontal resolution, we might have used CRTs rotated by 90 degrees.)

Only LCDs forced using a single fixed aspect ratio, which then was chosen to be the square one. (Though subpixel rendering still allows for higher horizontal resolution.)
Global entry is unavailable to foreigners from many countries, even long term visa holders
I just want to say, I've noticed the same issue with myself lately. My personal solution has been to go get a PhD in applied math but that's me. I'll still probably have the same problem after a I get a PhD but I'll burn that bridge when I get there.

If I were staying in software, then I think my strategy would be to identify what 'boxes' there are and try to fit my experience into those 'boxes' for the different jobs I apply to. It gets really grueling having to make multiple resumes, and some of them can get a little thin, but maybe take this as a first approach. As an example of 'boxes' I mean

- Web developer
- Embedded firmware developer
- Devops engineer
- Data scientist/data engineer

You know your experience best so modify as appropriate, but also maybe try to lean into the box where you "fit" the best. I know it might be a little depressing to try to reduce yourself to "web developer" box, but I see the goal as trying to stick to a career path/industry with the goal of building a network and building off opportunities. Not sure if that makes sense, good luck.

Okay, eggs and milk are from animals, but they are not meat, at least.
Which country/ISP are you? The surveillance problem with ISPs became bad enough that I tunnel every single packet from every home device through a VPS using WireGuard now, and that solved it. None of the home devices need to know anything about WireGuard, just the router.
This is my exact use case for ChatGPT! Without the cursing. It's great for shallow communication with customers who expect paragraph responses in lieu of "hey your bill is past due and you need to pay it or we're cutting you off". I've already gotten so much mileage out of it and saved so much time.
I’m a CFO and you basically described my job when I was a financial analyst. Not all financial analysts can do the technical stuff but those that can are still just called financial analysts. Now that I employ a team of analysts I make sure some are technical and some are not (the non technical tend to have different skillsets).

It’s a generalist role. You solve problems/generate insights with an analytical or technical approach. I’d call you an analyst from what I’ve read. Nothing particularly sounded like any CTO I’ve worked with. Maybe CTO of a 20 person company, but realize that’s largely title inflation.
> Unit tests are by their definition not the kind of thing that simulates this kind of failure.

Thorough unit and integration tests include failure modes. Mine include things like "what happens if the OS reports that the storage was unmounted during read/write" (because that was a failure often seen in production with some flaky SAN devices) and "what happens if the server stops responding" (because networks are generally unreliable) and "what happens if invalid (random) data is given" because data corruption is a frequent occurrence for similar reasons.

> Perhaps you have a false sense of security about what you’ve really been testing?

Perhaps. On the other hand I've seen a _lot_ of other developers test only the happy path and call it a day then spend days/weeks/months debugging failures.
Does uncle sam have an appetite for owning the company? It seems more likely a defense contractor will buy it if someone would.
http and tcp aren’t very comparable.

Anyway, the whole OSI has problems. If it were up to me, I’d redo IP to include named ports and see what follows.
> There is no mass market call for it

Without any working product available on the market, I don't think potential customers know what they're missing. Having a truly working self-driving feature would be like having a 24 hour private chauffeur. It would dramatically change where people live, where they work, and how they take vacation. I'd probably by weekend home 10 hours away if I could fall asleep in the car on Friday and wake up there Saturday morning.
I'm sorry, maybe I'm a small fish but are you talking about 700k USD?

I find that very hard to believe.
Bypassing security of the type described and being oblivious to why the security is there requires a type of autonomy and narcissism that exceeds "childish mistake".
Would you have a google account if gmail didn't exist?
If I may suggest... "Mint" has been a top-rated distro for its usability for a long time.

Have a look at the top 10 here:

https://distrowatch.com/

I would not recommend any "rolling release" distro for a new Linux user.

ChromeOS is usable but it is of course tightly coupled to Chromebooks and the Googosphere. Still, the user can add Debian Linux easily and then Firefox is one command away.
Fixed easily enough: enable auto-fill and disable password saving in browser.
Just turn it off.
But is your retention the same? These algorithms can be tuned, and obviously the amount of repetition to retain 95% of info is higher than retaining 90%.
It’s relative and overlooks ten+ years of trading.

Tesla stock is only at the lowest since the start of the pandemic when everything wildly inflated due to the massive influx of money into the system. It’s still radically up since 2017. The last two years were a severe anomaly.
For me, the programming equivalent of the blue light is my development environment being in focus, and receiving key strokes and mouse clicks.

Crude but surprisingly accurate. If I am not interacting with my development environment, it usually mean there is a problem somewhere. Sometimes that's me (slacking off, getting lost,...), sometimes it is organisational (useless meetings and processes,...), sometimes technical (slow computer, unresponsive network,...). But it is always a sign of inefficiency.
Also increased volume including some very large movements.

There is an interesting rumour that Musk maybe looking to take the company private courtesy of the Saudi sovereign fund.

And that there is an effort to artificially depress the stock price to meet a purchase target.

They do own 61% of Lucid so there is precedent.
Maybe we are hardcoded to like our environment, you will try to live where you like. Also if you like your environment, food, and other things, you like living. And that is good for life
Right, it's not like there are living stewards of the art who could've told you what it meant!

Oh wait...
Wish you all the best as you focus on healing over the coming days. Do you have any counter-intuitive advice on how to build a following? I assume your startup is B2C.
I've been using it with Rsync.net also very happy.
Ken is correct. IIRC, the very first version of BBEdit back in 1991(?) could handle files significantly larger than memory (on a system without memory mapping, no less).
Ask HN: Robotics hackathons for beginners in the US/Canada?
Hi guys, I'm a university student and a beginner in robotics. I want to learn to build robots by working on projects and competing in robotics hackathons.

Javascript won't put an airplane and the right combinations of crews in a combination of airports no matter how many lines of code you write.

For actual mission critical systems, like delivering packages, UPS Airlines uses a cool concept called a hot spares where an extra airplane is somewhere in the sky, ready to take on slack if there were issues on another plane
> It's important to preserve modernist and brutalist architecture

Why?
The law is such that if an immovable aboriginal artifact is found on your property you're shit out of luck. You become responsible to keep it intact, you have to allow access to various people and likely be limited in your land use, all with no compensation.

This creates an incentive to destroy such artifacts (i.e. scarred trees, petroglyphs etc) and not tell anyone.

It also exists in a wider context of "history wars", where federal institutions take sides on quite controversial subjects, further alienating the stereotypical farmers.
a good opportunity for the U.S. government to buy SpaceX from him at a discount

The only real reason why they'd want to do that, is to get rid of actual innovation in space to get back to the wasteful go-nowhere days of cost-plus contracting as a jobs program.
The difference between pre mapped and random environment disappears once you map all roads in a finite roadway network. It only takes ~70 drivers to cross every public road in the US once a year, that’s hardly a major investment compared to the utility of self driving cars.

Really it’s little different than many modern drivers being dependent on the GPS for long trips.
If we are comparing food - I can walk into food stores, easily compare prices , and find substitutes. Let’s also remember there are subsidies for farming and other food products and some states have no tax on food specifically. Now if I walked into a food store and could get anything but would get a random bill where the price of a single tomato ended up being $100 6 months later and it only made sense to have some third party insurance to pay the bulk of food costs then you have a comparison. Medical has no comparison in the US. The system is not good , insurance adds limited value to the process and getting prices to easily shop around is not possible. Im not looking for a full take over of the medical system in the US but having it function like a regular market is ideal.
You can change the chunk size on restic, for what it's worth.
Maybe trucking while unvaccinated is a better example?
Given how much progress SpaceX has made in so short a time and that I want the rate of progress to continue, I hope the US government does not buy it.
I believe you're confusing autopilot with FSD beta.
But it’s not three arbitrary days, is it? It’s December 24th, 25th and 26th, none of which are working days in the US, and which encompass one of the biggest global holidays of the year.
Having worked as a professional software developer in a reputable development organization for over a decade with steady advancement before I decided to go to school for design is a good enough indicator for me. Being asked to speak at a couple of conferences about my dev work is another good sign I guess.

Suggesting that being a software developer doesn't also qualify you to be a designer seems to have really bothered you for some reason. I don't think saying so is any more controversial than saying automotive engineers aren't automatically car interior designers or that being a civil engineer doesn't automatically make you an architect. If you feel like you're a great designer, fantastic. Enjoy your broad skillset, as I enjoy mine. If you feel like my comment somehow challenged that, weird but sorry?
I was in Russia and Turkey, now in Serbia.

Perhaps something along these lines :)
Or, it could just be that everyone's afraid of macro, plus algorithmic trading, plus the finance media likes a good clickbait-y Elon narrative.

The lack of intellectual integrity in the news media in the 2020's, across the board, not just in finance, is pretty shocking.

Adding an item to a cart and it persisting is quite directly a service explicitly requested by the user.

And if some EU kangaroo court forces me to click through a “clicking add to cart will save this item in your cart, do you agree to performing the action you explicitly just requested” on every website… I cannot.
It doesn’t look like an actual disclosure, in that he isn’t explaining how the exploit works, just sharing that it exists.
You can make the entire remote area off limits, patrol the boundary with armed law enforcement officers.

You can't climb Uluru (formerly known as Ayers Rock) as a tourist anymore. You can only look at it from miles away. And there are certain perspectives from which women can't look at it because the Aṉangu have rituals on certain parts of the rock that are exclusive to men, that women aren't even allowed to see.

The Australian government has begun a crackdown on white encroachment onto indigenous lands that is really quite welcome (and a model for emulation by other countries with significant indigenous populations like Canada, New Zealand, and the USA), though it seems to have arrived a bit too late.
What about Josephus?
If you weren't living here during this time you may not have been aware that Abbot + Morrison being elected resulted in a distinct change in what was considered "acceptable" discourse. The reality is it definitely emboldened the worst kind of people.
Hmmm I like this a lot actually, but as an encrypted file repo for sensitive files/repos themselves. This is quite clever, don't think I've seen all these features together before.
They may not be in the majority, but there are some dissenting opinions within academia.

That's a good idea, but not really feasible for a family. After the rental car fell through, we resigned ourselves to not getting to our destination and decided to make the most of the situation we have (explore a new city we have never experienced beyond an airport or a highway) and solidified our return flight.
If government had the burden of legislating everything to perfection on the first pass, it would never make any forward progress. Therefore, there is no such burden. In a free and democratic country like Canada, the political process corrects for policy making that is against the interests of most people. Canada is somewhat unique in that its modern constitution provides strong protections for minorities through section 7's right to life, liberty and security of the person.

Perhaps in other countries where citizens view government with a level of justifiable suspicion, assisted death is not something that can be on the table yet. But in Canada, citizens trust that while not all policies are perfect, nor their implementation, there is a strong desire to get things right over time.

Going by the name 'isogeometric analysis' is is probably analysis on level-sets, not sure if splines are the easiest to translate to level sets but the effect is probably very similar.
I don't think the "big deal" is necessarily that it changed, but rather that it was vandalized. For example the Notre Dame fire was certainly very unfortunate and it would be better if it hadn't happened, but ... such things happen, and in that sense it's "not a big deal" (IMHO restoring it as an exact replica is a mistake).

Whether the vandalism was intentional is not entirely clear yet, but a natural disaster damaging or even destroying something is different from humans intentionally doing so through ignorance or malice.

Or let me put it this way: if some natural disaster destroys your car you'd be bummed out and curse at the world for a minute, and then move on as such things happen. The response would be different if I were to wreck your car with a baseball bat.
I'm not sure but it's likely both. I'm a physicist and google says there are about 10k in the US while there are 5.3k archeologists in the US, and physics is already niche amongst the physical scientists. Compare for example, there are 33k biologists, and I assume that's only pure researchers, not doctors, lab techs, etc.

edit: corrected a number. Also, I looked at "employed" meaning full time or part time research vs. just having a PhD in it. Like physics PhDs are 58K which sounds about right, just few actually get a faculty position, temporary (post-doc, staff scientist) or otherwise.

As for why I say both, the number of positions tends to also put downward pressure on number of applicants I think and makes it more likely people who study it or consider studying it consider other fields or jobs before even applying.
I found a pretty good conf aggregator here: https://confs.tech/?online=hybrid&topics=data

Hopefully it can assist, I don't have any personal recommendations!
I enjoy using Anki and have found it effective in the very rare instances where I need to rapidly memorize a lot of material.

But as a developer, I've never found a need for memorization. Am I missing out? Do any developers have suggestions for how to utilize Anki to make myself more professionally efficient?

I suppose one starting point might be to track my most googled phrases ("trim newlines in sed," "bash printf into a variable," etc.) and turn those into cards.
This is the kind of hyperbole that makes people ignore climate activists.

No, none of that is going to happen. Humans are incredibly adaptable, and climate change is incredibly slow.

There will be change, and everyone will be just fine.
