I used it a year ago and had to move off, just too many errors, a few seemingly lost deployments and needing in general to reconnect or turn things off/on to get them to work. Definitely felt very beta.

Final straw though really was testing DB. I had a $40/mo dedicated server and I spun up their recommended few-node cluster for postgres. Query response time was something like 5x faster for the dedicated server vs their similarly priced setup. I tried upgrading the the top of the line, still much slower and at that point many multiples more expensive.

It wasn't just that though, the entire app was sluggish, whereas locally or with a dedicated box it felt incredibly snappy. I'd have had to be spending something like ~2k/mo to get their top of the line nodes across every service and still would have to accept half the speed of my entire app. The edge isn't very useful if it's not powerful!

Disclosure: I work at Vercel, and I do like what Fly.io does generally. Had these opinions well before working at Vercel was even a consideration. I think a lot of serverless/edge type hosts are hiding their true cost behind cheap low powered nodes. Especially if the most powerful nodes are still less powerful than a very mid-tier dedicated box, there goes your entire app performance.
For anyone interested, there's more to the accusation of Stoltenberg's involvement with intelligence from a young age than the author of this article implies by dismissing it as ridiculous on its face.[1] Whether or not you find the linked narrative convincing is up to you, however.

> "the Japanese government approved the dumping of radioactive water of this power plant into the Pacific Ocean over the course of 30 years."

A minuscule amount of tritium, dumped into an ocean that has billions of tons of uranium dissolved in it. This Fukushima water issue is a perfect example of people letting emotions overrule rational thought.
Yes. Just like the black death was temporary damage.

Fission waste is truly long term. Just like desertification.
I've worked in the energy industry. There is complete capture there. When PG&E is the "bad guy" it's because the government needs them to be. ERCOT works the same way (though is better).

If the government wanted PG&E to properly fund their line maintenance, PG&E would properly fund their line maintenance.
I was watching a Robert Kiyosaki talk with some podcast recently where he mentioned investing in Wagyu beef ranches I think. And he said something to the effect that the poor will stop buying hamburger, but the rich will suck the additional costs because they essentially are not stoic enough to go without was the vibe of his claim. So pretty much the division of essential and non-essential curves differently for different classes is how it sounds.
supply chain is king when it comes to purchasing flash, there are an enormous amount of fake SSDs and flash cards floating around.

if this one particular drive is the new hotness then yeah there will be chinese sellers knocking up stencils and packaging tomorrow, whoosh this 128gb drive is now a (checks label) 2TB WD SN740!

knockoffs and fraud not just permeate but practically saturate the supply chain for flash. if you don't know where it's coming from then it's not genuine, period the end. best buy, adorama/B&H, or other electronics retailers with a legitimate supply chain? sure, fine. but anyone that commingles inventory, especially amazon, and any sort of third-party marketplace, you're going to get a significant number if not majority of fakes.
I see. News organizations have a duty to corroborate claims like this before they publish them, so I would interpret the lack of coverage as other reporters being unable to verify anything he said. There is of course still some coverage though: https://www.reuters.com/world/us/prize-winning-reporter-seym..., https://www.newsweek.com/did-joe-biden-attack-russias-nord-s..., https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/us-bombed-nord-stream-gas...

Cometeer is much, much better than any home brewed coffee I've ever made (I've used drip machines, pour overs, french presses, fancy grinders, hand crank grinders, etc.). Will it beat a cup of coffee from a local fancy brewer? Probably not. But I can confidently say that their variety ranges from decent to really freaking good (e.g. Onyx Southern Weather, George Howell Alchemy, to name a couple of favorites).
Marketing to people who are eager for your wares is generally regarded as solid business planning, yes.

Maybe they did over-order and they're trying to sell to a new crowd. Again, that's kind of a good move if there's demand.
Out of curiosity, I asked "How can we fix the climate crisis? Be specific."

Obviously we shouldn't rely on ChatGPT for our answers to life, but it's not a terrible list. Except for the absolute lack of any mention of nuclear, which I think fairly reflects the zeitgeist but not the real science.

Here's what it said:

1. Switch to Renewable Energy Sources: We should phase out the use of fossil fuels and switch to renewable energy sources, such as wind, solar, geothermal, and hydropower. This would reduce carbon dioxide emissions and other pollutants from burning fossil fuels.

2. Increase Energy Efficiency: We should invest in technologies and practices that reduce energy consumption, such as LED lighting, efficient heating and cooling systems, and better insulation.

3. Plant Trees and Protect Forests: Trees absorb carbon dioxide, so planting more of them can help reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. We should also protect existing forests and prevent deforestation.

4. Reduce Food Waste: Food waste is a major contributor to climate change, as it releases methane and other greenhouse gases when it decomposes. We should reduce food waste and increase food recycling.

5. Reduce Meat Consumption: Animal agriculture is a major source of carbon dioxide and other air pollutants, so reducing meat consumption can help reduce emissions. We should also promote plant-based diets.

6. Improve Transportation: We should invest in public transportation, electric vehicles, and other low-emission transportation options. This would reduce emissions from cars and other vehicles.

7. Educate and Advocate: We must educate people about the causes and consequences of climate change, and advocate for public policies that can help mitigate climate change.
They work well in VC++ (not surprising, since it’s largely Microsoft’s design). I would give it another year for reasonable support in GCC.
> anonymous officials. ... this is the standard for journalism on these topics

Unfortunately, it's also standard for planted false stories.

It's notable that Hersh won the Nobel prize for producing photographic evidence of war crimes.

None of his anonymously sourced articles has ever been confirmed true
> It is very well crafted to apologetically make an antinuclear view point look juvenile and immature.

That was my reaction; but the way she characterizes her younger self was not at all convincing. People who change their views show more sympathy and understanding for their younger self than the author does, who just dismisses herself as a naive idiot (before moving on to explain the rather basic things she's "learned" about radioactive materials in the meantime).
My two cents - a lot of "crappy" beers are honestly pretty good, and a lot of trendy Hazy SpaceDust Double IPAs or Coffee Imperial Stouts brewed in Bourbon Casks just suck.

A simple Hamm's, Miller High Life, Modelo Negra, or Coors Banquet is pretty tastey, inoffensive, and great bang for your buck.

Also, a lot of beer snobbyists have now transitioned into Bourbon (f** taters for making it impossible to get Buffalo Trace at an affordable price), so that's also playing a role
I doubt we would call any famine post-20th century apolitical due to how recent they are but many of them likely would not have occurred if food had been easier to grow, political dysfunction aside.
If you can't trust monkeywerx on youtube to ferret out the secret plans, who can you trust? Importantly, Hersh claims there was a Norwegian Navy P8 that dropped the Sonobouy -- but the Norwegian Navy doesnt operate P8s, the Air Force does, and they don't have any actually flying yet - they won't be in service until 2023. The plane tracked by monkeywerx is a US Navy P8. That's a pretty important difference!
I know people who were so sick and tired of trying to figure out where to dispose of their fluorescent light bulbs that they just threw them to the side of the road on the highway at night. It’s completely undetectable.
> Isn't it better to directly use this new SSH functionality inside of using the more complicated GnuPG+SSH thing? (I'm asking: I've got no clue how the later works).

If the only thing you need from a smartcard is ssh, and you do not need to convince others your public key is really yours, then FIDO2 ssh is great.

That said, if someone is to add my key to their server, exporting my ssh key from my published, and well signed PGP keychain is the easiest way to form trust they got the correct key.

Also you cannot do things like file decryption or signed commits with a fido2 device. Since virtually every developer (imo) needs those coming from a hardware anchor, and they require PGP, might as well use one spec that does everything and publishes one public keychain for others to trust.
Yeah, I think part of the problem is that people put too much weight on diagnosis itself. It's not like a blood test that is definitive. Any diagnosis will always be speculative.

My thoughts on the matter came to a head after reading this article a couple days ago and my current thinking is that we're putting too much responsibility on the medical profession and policy.

At the end of the day, it should be the decision of the patients and parents. It is their responsibility to weigh the information available and make their best decision. It is also their responsibility to live with the consequences of their choices.
Very very few devs got laid off. Vast majority was recruiting and marketing.
Cheap gas or not, the west would welcome any new Russian leader with open arms if they withdrew from Ukraine. That explanation does not seem very compelling at all.

Welp, my machine must be comprised, because you just described it. But you left out Age...
Depending on the boundary of the city, it might not be an apple-to-apple comparison.

I wonder if NYC will rank higher if Staten Island is excluded. Not that I have anything against it, just that judging from the heat map it is less walkable than the rest.

It's similar in Canada too. Toronto is the megacity (1998 amalgamation) including some suburbs; Vancouver does not include Richmond; Montreal has weird holes like Westmount.
A discussion, maybe. But you can't have a conversation if you're not even sure that your conversational partner is the same person you replied to.

I know that there's a difference between spinning up a new account every few months, and for every reply. But long-term relationships in communities matter.
The term might be a bit new now that we have some work that seeks to establish a formalism for it, but the concepts are very old.

A modern definition could be that ownership semantics define how aliases to data are created and shared. This includes things like variable binding and class members, but also encapsulates pointers and references - which have formal semantics in every language that uses them (and therefore, bake in ownership, even if it is implicit).

In systems programming languages like C and C++ the word "owner" and "ownership" are often used to describe which data structures and calling contexts are responsible for managing data lifetimes, since aliases to that data are used to control memory allocation and deallocation. The semantics are not baked into the language, but most software in these ecosystems has to be written with ownership in mind to be sound - and indeed, has been for many years, with that verbiage ("lifetime", "owner", etc).
Obviously this is wildly anecdotal and a laughably tiny sample size, but I have found myself moving back towards a few favorite cheap beers over the last few years. I just got kinda sick of heavy stouts and hop-bomb IPAs, and have found myself enjoying cheap watery pilsners more. I drink a lot of PBR completely unironically, and my favorite local "craft" beer is "Hilltop Lager" - which is sold in red and white tall cans clearly designed to ape the PBR look and feel a little bit.

I don't know that this is a counterpoint to TFA really, but I wonder if some degree of folks just getting sick of the craft beer craze could be a confounding factor.
I have a weakness for fresh food so stocking up once a month doesn't appeal to me.
Thanks for the clarification. I just think of my local radio as "NPR" since it's about 90% of the daytime content. TBH I thought Radiolab was independently produced but that NPR had picked it up instead of my local station putting it next to NPR content.

Radiolab is definitely one of my favorite radio shows though. The first time I heard it, it was the internal monologue of somebody having an existential crisis on an airline, which was equally bizarre and hysterical.
Agree, It's the perfectly balanced between "too dry/academic", or "too vague/gimmicky".

It's often mentionned in HN, but in the same style, I cannot recommend enough "Money stuff" [1] which is Matt Levine's newsletter at Bloomberg. Highly entertaining.

Just because it can be used for things doesn't mean its a wise decision, unless you absolutely love having blatant vulnerabilities in your software because its an"industry standard" to use 3d party libraries worked on by developers that see nothing wrong with loading a java class from the web and executing it from a simple log statement.
Amazing post Michael! I have been following your story for years.

I have also a similar project backing, but not as technical as yours. I use also Raspberries for Smart Kiosks that are set to be in restaurants and increase the demand of the most convenient dishes at a time with great photography.

I see that you think now of Debian packages as an optimal way for installations in your project.

What would you say it is the best way yo keep a Raspberry system "auto-updated"?

PD: My skills are way lower than yours. I use mostly Ruby scripts (SystemD) to contact a backend in Rails.
Yes, fzf is amazing, back when I used and customized my linux box a lot finding out about it was a breakthrough in experience and speed of usage. My dotfiles suffered so much bitrot after over five years of not using them (it's on GH goldfeld/dotfiles the mess of both nvim and emacs init files) that I still think of cleaning them up and using one of those editors again, someday.. I guess. Ironically today my only interaction with the world of tech is as a user (not API coding, just end user) of AI[1]. By the way you seem to be a portuguese-speaking fellow (I assume also by the username's gender) and so am I.

[1] as a matter of fact today I "launched" (on a barren desert let's say) a substack newsletter to feature code reviews by the chatG man (and soon feature open source AI projects too), and at first I'm having it review the old Vim plugins I once authored, including vim-seek on next issue, if you want to be my first subscriber, lol: https://generativereview.substack.com/p/the-generative-revie...
Using a yubikey, nitrokey, etc as I suggest would ensure the private key never leaves the external device. Those are personal HSMs.
Definitely a coincidence and not a conspiracy of spooks working for the NSA (and similar) breaching servers in order to con you into getting a government spying device (cell phone).
They could have bought VTI like the rest of us. If you want extraordinary returns, you need to take extraordinary risks.
My wife got me one of those diy kits from northernbrewer for Christmas. I was able to produce almost 5 gallons of a perfectly drinkable IPA at 6-6.5%ABV with it. Five gallons is a LOT of beer. There isn't much labor to speak of, maybe 4 hrs total. You just have to be patient and wait, it took about 4 weeks for my batch to be ready.

I haven't worked it down to the penny but the initial kit is about $150 (which comes with a recipe kit) and then around $40-50 for additional recipe kits. On the other hand, my favorite beer, Manhatten Project Beer Co's Half Life, is pushing $12 for a 6 pack.

EDIT: if i just wanted to be inebriated though i'd probably just get THC gummies. That would be easiest and likely the most inebriation per unit money.

My pull quotes:

> The Pentagon downed an unidentified object over Alaska on Friday at the order of President Biden, according to U.S. officials.

> Mr. Kirby said the object was traveling at 40,000 feet. He said officials were describing it as an object because that was the best description they had of it.

> A recovery effort on the debris will be made, Mr. Kirby said. He said the object was “roughly the size of a small car” — much smaller than the spy balloon that had a payload the size of multiple buses.
Ah, I vaguely remember those old price tags as it's been such a long time. To sniff their RF traffic best use another CC2510 and TI's own packet sniffer app. Their RF protocol is an extension of the default one from TI's application notes for the CC2510 so it's pretty easy to read out. The AES key extraction would be useless, as it's using CBC and a unique per-device IV and NONCE is used, that's random, so if you crack one then it's just that once, you won't be able to alter the prices of the entire shop to your desire.

There's nothing too special in the firmware, just a state machine that's sleeping most of the time to save power, and wakes up the device at regular interval in its own designated time slot to listen to the radio briefly if the base station is trying to address it, then receives the pricetag image via radio and copies it to the flash and updates the screen if needed, then goes back to sleep. IIRC, the time slots are, from 0 to 255, with 256 being the broadcast address, and the last HEX byte in the serial number sticker is also its timeslot number.

The only juicy part in the FW, if you can find it, would be the waveform for the e-ink display, as those are e-ink confidential most of the time for some bizarre reason. It's not like there are no waveforms already on the internet for displays like that, but e-ink likes to keep the really good waveforms for themselves and their best customers.

Thanks for the trip down memory lane. Good times.
well hot damn.
> If all they can get is a username and password, by and large, who cares? Just create another account and you're on your way.

Who cares? Those of us who treat subreddits as communities, and as such have built relationships there.
While I don’t know anything about that agreement, I assume it would have had been a push for renewables.

By 2050 it will be easily possible to power the world using renewables. Ending nuclear at that point doesn’t sound like a bad idea to me.
None of what you said mentions of any specific details of either article, whatsoever. What specifically is an example of an insinuation you object to? Maybe pick one straw man and point it out? Otherwise, what's the informational content behind all this verbiage?
The core language still has fundamental flaws, like annotation processing, main function semantics, e.t.c

You can reuse charcoal water filters to remove impurities in cheap booze like bottom shelf vodka and gin.
Age is actually -worse- than enc by pretty much all the same criteria I outlined.

Working with established interoperable standards and conventions for hardware support, software support, key discovery, and supply chain integrity and implementing them well with careful team code review and extensive compatibility test suite is the hard but necessary road in security.

Age does not even attempt to do any of this, and IMO only has very niche use cases, if any, compared to a reasonable OpenPGP spec implementation like Sequoia.

Solid tip, again.
The article is not referencing "demand for crappy beer", but rather "crappy demand for beer".

Compound adjectives are not great in article titles.
Sounds like you've stumbled on another thing we need to regulate.

We should do this sort of iterative thought experiment w.r.t. regulations all the time.

It's sort of like compiling a big package of code. Just keep trying to compile and fixing the errors that come up until it compiles.
> Fukushima Daiichi. In case those two words aren't enough to jog your memory:

Yes, I get that nuclear power scares people, which is why we should put aside our emotions on the subject and just deal with the facts. We've had decades of empirical evidence about nuclear safety at this point.

Zero radio-logical related deaths from Fukushima. And zero deaths in all history from all other civilian nuclear waste.

> "the Japanese government approved the dumping of radioactive water of this power plant into the Pacific Ocean over the course of 30 years."

It sounds scary. "Radioactive water!" But it's not an issue. How many will die or have shortened lifespan from this? Let me know and we can add it to the zero above.
when you see someone walking out of the store with a 30 pack of Keystone, you know they are not drinking for the taste.

Also, how would Ukraine pull off such a mission in a sea it has no access to?
These may be dimwitted questions but still want to ask:
1. Did Google, Amazon, Meta, etc benefit by over hiring during the pandemic?
2. Did the benefit of over hiring outweigh the cost of job cuts?
3. If both 1 and 2 are yes, then did they know about the possible layoffs and still intentionally over hired to max benefits?
All deaths are permanent. Count them up and the result is clear.
100s of people driving individual cars to get to a grocery store is absolutely less efficient than a couple dozen box trucks delivering food to smaller localized stores. Not to mention, we can electrify those delivery trucks and negate a lot of the carbon emissions. Even if you electrify all of those cars you still have the massive environmental impact of building and maintaining the roads and parking lots they have to use. Individualized auto transit is a blight. "Modern lifestyle trends" not lining up with environmental concerns is usually more of an issue of modern lifestyle trends being unsustainable.
