Sure… Except that that’s physically impossible. Search YouTube for “arc flash”.
Every one of those is confusing.

(1) Third sentence seems redundant. It adds no useful information, unless maybe you're privy to internal workings of the system (and maybe not even then).

(1,2,3,4) If "the system" creates tickets, why is the app trying to generate them? 'Generate' and 'create' are too close in meaning, for me.

(1,2,3) Why am I charged if the charge+ticket (which should be inexorably linked) did not succeed as a whole? I'd expect the charge automagically reversed (or better: prevented) as a consequence of rolling back the broken transaction.

(3) If a 'valid' ticket was created, how is it not associated with my account? That seems like an invalid ticket to me!

(4) Seems like the entire transaction (charge+ticket) completed, but mysteriously the app is informing me it doesn't need to or possibly has failed to do…who knows what, be cause 'the system' already has my ticket.

The first scenario is the only one for which I agree with the suggested conclusions.
"...a West German tourist to the United States who achieved international celebrity status in the late 1970s for mistaking the city of Bangor, Maine for San Francisco, California..."
That’s what I mean by tons of training. It’s still not “code.” That’s not possible afaik.
every single pharmaceutical has impurities. some grow over time (chemistry does not stop) and those are the ones to worry about.
Those were taken down because of some complicated lawsuit about use of public funds to make available content that wasn't accessible to people with disabilities. It was too expensive to make the recorded lectures work with tools used by people with disabilities, so the university took down the content instead instead of spending even more resources making it compatible with screen readers, adding captioning, etc.

CMU is a private university so this doesn't apply.
One person's speculation is a citation now?
My Red Hat contract specifically stated I wasn't allowed to boycott Israel, as a Kiwi, that was freaking bizarre.
AWS has a habit of taking a open source project and creating a "managed service" offering of it.

Is it possible to offer SQLite as a managed / serverless offering?

A light weight and cheap relational data store that we just consumer using an API
Does this practically improve the situation? The odds of two servers breaking at the same time for the same reasons seems very high. I actually can't think of a single example where the secondary sever would keep running.

Regression via a code or dependency update? Full disk? DNS is down? Too much load? All of these would bring down both servers in quick succession.

I guess something like a "once every 2 days" race condition could buy you some time if you had a 2nd server. But that's not a common error
According to the Twitter files, Silicon Valley enforces it at the behest of the federal government.
Those examples are just so far from what ChatGPT generates, I find it really hard to believe.
Most of them will be incredibly fine, not harm a fly, and offer like 2x+ more value than where we were before with charging which also had lots of no-name replacement brands & hard to get $100 OEM
chargers. While being completely intercompatible.

It's just absurdly epic, in my book. Pick a completely random no-name brand it and there's like 98% chance it'll do the job fine, if you want a $30 100w charger for ex. In most cases, I would not be afraid to plug it in and find out. I expect some cheap chargers indeed probably won't be able to sustain full load, but I also expect they'll shutdown fine & not harm anything. It just seems unfair to try to reach into the absolute bottom-most reaches we can find to judge, and even if we do, I think most people would be impressed & shocked how little harm is done here.

But more so, there's so many perfectly fine all-caps brands that do have thousands of reviews that seem either quite legit or mostly legit. Nekteck has a 100w gan charger you absolutely can do fine with for $40. PPS and multiport capabilities abundantly available at under $50? Can we not be impressed a bit here?

Making 20V 5A & not messing causing damage is not the worlds wildest problem, even if you are cutting every corner you can.
> The whole point of suggesting a route planner is to reduce the effort on their part.

How would having to use a route planner be less effort than not having to use one at all? With my ICE car, I very rarely have to concern myself with being able to find a gas station in range. I also very rarely would need to use any sort of route planning software to find a gas station in range.

> Ways to mitigate the downsides are a good thing.

Yes, but the problem arises when you're mitigating downsides you added yourself. For a _lot_ of people, EVs have many downsides that they currently do not need to suffer from with ICE or hybrid cars. Yes, route planning software might mitigate the issue; I can imagine having a mode in Google or Apple maps that lets you route plan around charging stations could work quite well. But you're still stacking having to do that on top of the other downsides EVs currently have. Gas stations on the other hand are widely available, and on longer routes (in the US at least) often marked on roadside signage that makes them very accessible. If you're planning around charging stations you may also not have opportunities to take more interesting or faster routes, which could be a downside depending on the purpose of your trip.

> Sure, but there are significant downsides to ICE.

No disagreement from me there. But these downsides are largely well known, and either very diffuse or tend to have well-known mitigations at this point. When you change that set of downsides, there will be an adjustment period.

> Would you call it naive [...]

No, absolutely not. Those are real problems too. What I was referring to was the way you seemed to offer a dismissive solution to the problem that the GP described. A lot of EV proponents I've found are very dismissive of the real-world issues of EVs that currently exist, and the additional challenges many people would face if they were to switch to an EV right now. Dismissing these things makes it harder to address and improve them.

To be clear, a century ago we might have been having the same discussion about ICE cars, and how the infrastructure is not ready yet; In a way, this reminds me of refactoring core components of a large intertwined codebase. Often you can't just flip a switch and just change everything, it has to be gradual, building up it's own support over time and effort -- but many an inexperienced (and dare I say naive) engineer would still try to change it all at once.

Disclaimer: I was never at any position close to like Sr. Director at a fortune 100 tech giant, maybe your company is different.

I use to act as if I own a large stake of the company I worked for, regretting it much later when I realized I was doing too much and knowing too little.

I was just kidding myself pretending as an owner of the company therefore investing too much emotion and work into it. Why would I pretend something that is not true? It's not like fake it until you make it thing.

I do not know how much you know about your company, but I was an outsider that knew nothing about the inner workings and secrets about it. I thought I knew, that's the kidding myself part.

Unless you are a real owner, you are just a cog in a machine. If you perform well, you will be rewarded well as a cog in a machine not as an owner. Most decisions you make would not affect the overall situation. Just do your job well and try to spend time with something else you care after work, not something you have no control of.
Definitely most universities are making their lectures available. For example IITs have this huge collection of all kinds of Engineering courses, https://nptel.ac.in/courses

And now they are expanding to medical sciences too! Imagine becoming a self taught doctor :/
https://dth.ac.in/medical/course.php

But yes, the value of attending a top university is not at all limited to these study materials. It is so much more.
100% this. the ARPU goes down as a function of helpdesk? easier not to have one, than fix the underlying problems which cause people to seek one. This is where google excels: no helpdesk! (unfair: there is one, you have to be in paid tier like google one, and they are excellent)
My guess is that the first balloon put people on high alert and anything that's unidentified now has a bullseye on it.

It's a strange day when I see a rayiner post I completely agree with, but... people just don't understand that not only is this how most lawyers view their role, but it is absolutely critical that they do so in order for our society to function as designed. Even the relatively more activist lawyers I know would agree at least in principle to some version of the thought process articulated above. They have to!

In fact, attorneys typically hold themselves to extremely high standards of ethics - just not the ethics people think of. I'm sure they exist, but out of all the many lawyers I've met, I have never met one who did not take things like attorney-client privilege, being an officer of the court, or duties surrounding disclosure and discovery and conflicts of interest extremely seriously. It's very much a case of "orange and blue morality"[0]: It's not that the rules they follow aren't taken seriously, it's that those rules are not the rules most people imagine.

So, the idea that attorneys should abandon the principles of the system they've dedicated their life to because some layperson's sense of ethics demands it is foolish, in that even if it might produce a "better" result to your sensibilities or mine, it's simply not going to happen, not because attorneys are amoral, but precisely the opposite: Because they are moral according to the morality of their system.

Look: People don't like the justice system because it doesn't always produce results that they agree with. They don't like or understand its convoluted, highly layered, self-referential sets of ever-shifting, multi-faceted rules and tests and interpretations and arguments about the technicalities of meanings of words. And that's fine. But a system of justice based on even the most altruistic "X seems right to me" is going to be an order of magnitude worse for at least some people, and I have yet to hear an idea for replacing our current system that doesn't boil down to either that or our current system, but it somehow magically always makes the decisions people personally want.

None of my Lightning cables are “Apple certified”. They all transfer data find.

These are my “universal charging cables”

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B092ZT8CJ9

- USB A/USB C on one end

- USB C/Lightning on the other

They transfer data at USB 2 speeds

But my truly universal cables are these

https://a.co/d/4NVYrmN

- USB A/USB C on one end

- lightning/USB C/MicroUSB on the other end

- 10 Gbps data

- 100W charging

- video over USB C for my portable display that gets power and video over 1 cable

These are thicker and less convenient than the first ones.
I used to work for a big enterprise software company and believe me, their support is the same. Unless the issue is highly escalated, there is no way that the support engineers pay enough attention to it. I used to say, that the best customer is the customer who knows the answer. You are all by yourself most of the time:) But you have to pay support fees without any delays.

This is such a weird post.

They build a distributed counter that is consistent across a cluster using the Elixir message passing thing, but there's this whole thing about using the Fly Distributed SQLite thing as well.

But if they wanted to build a distributed counter they could choose to use Postgres at the first step and then it will just work.

I wish there were a web standard for sites to describe their password policy in a machine-readable format. Password generators could generate compliant passphrases, and this site could be programmatically generated, which hopefully would become a wall of shame encouraging sites to improve.
This definitely feels like something deeper than just probabilistic auto-complete. There is something additional going on. A deep neural net of some sort wired to have particular goals.
This is probably a technology that must be open source. I would support a law enforcing this. I want all programmed intentions and bias completely open and transparent.
Tesla made a big mistake by not making its charger open standard and open source. They could potentially have set the standard, that would have been good for everybody.

Arguments around force projection are certainly going to be popular inside the beltway. At a certain point the deficit does become a national security concern, and announcing to our adversaries that they can exacerbate that timeline with incredibly inexpensive balloons is no longer "projecting" anything that resembles "power"

Jingoism isn't power.
That's true, but previously the PaaSs I've looked at didn't seem to have the same concept of persistent volumes, or maybe they were costly, I forget. In any case, I tried on Heroku before, and one other provider, and they didn't really support this use case, or pushed you to use their hosted PostgreSQL offerings, which were expensive (for my budget). Fly.io looks a lot simpler and cheaper!

Your backup script is basically what I do, but I use a little Python script that also uploads it to S3, keeps the last 10 days worth of backups, and so on.

Saudi Arabia put up a blockade (with an Arab coalition support) of Qatar for a number of reasons[1], one of which being Al Jazeera’s incendiary (in their opinion) coverage of sensitive topics within the Arab world during the Arab Spring. Saudi Arabia wanted the channel shut down.
They never intended to invade and the biggest factor was Qatar’s relationship with Iran (Saudi Arabia’s arch rival).
The link with AIPAC? Why would the Saudis, who have no formal diplomatic relations with Israel care?
Sounds like a complete made up conspiracy theory.

So.. your point is CHAdeMO had a big head start and still lost out to CCS? That's a shame.

They probably should have brought CHAdeMO 3.0 forward sooner:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ChaoJi

Japan and China will probably standardise on CHAdeMO 3.0. Though it would be much better if Japan switched to CCS type 2 combo so all the right-hand drive countries are on the same charging standard.
Actually a lot of people have problems with it. They break much easier, they are very hard to handle for old people or people with disabilities. They get stuck easier and so on. They are just badly designed.

Tesla should have made its solution open for adoption so a real competing standard could have existed.
> So lawyers shouldn't vote? Shouldn't lobby for changes in law?

These are 100%, or close to it, personal decisions.

The other decisions all involve, in some portion, personal views as to what's right and wrong.
Nintendo is a good example of vendors gone wild when it comes to usb-c and how to do it wrong, but so are raspberry pi's and many other vendors initially. Apple adding yet some another abomination to the mix after the dust almost settled, simply just to maintain some market relevance when it comes to selling overpriced dongles and power supplies. It is unwelcome in the current mess of usb-c as staying just the own bastard thing externally with lightning. Did the EU really change any of the waste or spend? No, just filled whole new landfills with lightning accessories.

Everyone is still going to have to re-buy 4x $60-100 power adapters, a $50 headphone jack for usb-c, and most anything else the want to connect to it. If you share a household with (gasp!) android, then you still gotta keep a bin for the apple vs android/everyone else crap and/or label them.
Exactly.

To really understand how corporations work, and why they do some of the things they do, you have to think like a sociopath.

The balloon itself pops, it's not reusable. It's nice to pick up the litter if you can get it out of the tree or whatever, but it's latex so it'll degrade.

The payloads are usually in great shape unless they come down in a road and get run over. My local launch site flies RS41's and you can find photos all over the internet. There's two lithium AA's inside, a couple of STM32s, and a Ublox GPS receiver.

Getting into it, just pop onto sondehub a bit past noon or midnight UTC and see what's in the air. If there's one predicted to land near you, keep an eye on it and head out. If a sondehub feeder station is nearby, you'll hear it down pretty close to the ground, and the landing prediction will usually be spot-on. If the nearest station is still a long ways off, then you'll lose it at the station's horizon which may be several hundred meters up, and what happens in the terminal phase of descent is anyone's guess.

To improve this, become your own station. There's a list of receivers on the right sidebar if you click the help button. I threw rdzTTGOsonde on a random Heltec lora board I had sitting around; the board was wired for 915MHz and the sondes use 404MHz which comes in the 433MHz Rx chain. The supported_boards page says:

> The 868/915 MHz version contains the SX1276 receiver chip. The chip supports both 433 MHZ and 868/915 MHz, but using different input pins. The board connects the antenna to the 868/915 MHZ input pin, the 433 MHz pin is unconnected. Theoretically the 868/915 MHZ version can be modified to work as 403 MHz receiver by directly connecting the antenna to the right pin of the chip, but this requires somewhat advanced SMD soldering skills...

So a few minutes later... https://i.imgur.com/aBmvnwh.jpg

And this sonde was polite enough to come down in a parking lot where I could literally drive up to it. I didn't even get out of the car to grab it: https://i.imgur.com/qMTVhR3.jpg

They all were at one point.
1. “Sometimes, you just have to trust people.” Said to me by the owner of a shop at a farmer’s market after I explained I didn’t have cash on hand to pay for an item so I couldn’t accept it, but would go to an ATM to get it. She gave me the items anyway, and I promptly went to an ATM to bring her the money. I grew up in an environment where I was constantly told about all the bad intentions everyone around me had, and how dangerous the world was. It was unnerving, so that moment was refreshing and eye-opening.

2. When I was buying my first bed, I talked with an older salesperson who did a great job helping me find what I was looking for. During our long conversation, he said, “You never know what someone you’re interacting with is going through. Keep that in mind and try not to assume bad intentions.”

3. The less time I spend on the computer/looking at screens/sitting down, and the more time I spend out in the physical world, allowing myself to explore, the more my subjective well-being increases. Similarly, the more time I spend interacting physically with people, the more meaningful, nuanced, and empathy-building interactions I have. I learned this when I quit my first job and spent a week in an hostel in Alaska, and just immersed myself in _life_ for a week.

4. It’s okay to not be productive all the time. I don’t have to side hustle if I don’t want to. Not doing so doesn’t mean I should withhold compassion from myself. Remember, there are other aspects of life outside of work, and in fact, time, relationships, and health are more important than work. I learned this during COVID when I had family in a coma for multiple months.
