That kind of style is often correlated with a lot of shared global state, even in relatively high level software like database engines. Most software avoids shared global state by delegating that implementation to the operating system, which often comes at the cost of performance.
I work on a keyboard all day for about ten years now,

I got into PC gaming again after work, stopped because i didnt want to sit at a PC after work hours/carpal tunnel symptoms started up.

I got into doing pushups with bad form, stopped because i started getting wrist pain/carparal tunnel stuff from my bad form and then working on a keyboard all day.

To try prevent my desk job from turning me into a human potato:

I try walk before the day starts, run 4 miles at some point during the day, and end the workday with a walk to try keep the blood pumping.
Don’t Call It ‘Crypto’: How Some Blockchain and NFT Projects Are Rebranding
Get tested for diabetes just in case? Urination and dry mouth are symptoms that I see you mentioned which don't seem to be apnea related. I'm not a doctor.
Checking back on this again, the linked source gateway is still down from where I'm sitting.

Using a more generic/available gateway for this link might make more sense.
You're doing good work. I've had Sleep Disordered Breathing since childhood from a mix of recessed jaws and allergies, and my journey was a decline from extreme ADHD in my 10s, to overwhelming fatigue in my early 20s, to essentially dementia.

Nobody offered or was willing to test for anything. I was gaslit and sent to psychiatrists any time I tried seeing a doctor.

By now, it's not my only debilitating chronic condition, and no matter PAP, meds or how hard I try, I'm not capable of basic functioning. Making appointments is extremely difficult, earning money is unrealistic.

In all honesty, I think it's probably too late for me. I have nobody who'd take care of me, and I can't do it myself. My life will eventually end by my own hand, and I don't understand why I'm putting it off.
If I were a multibillionaire with money to burn, I would fund a planet-wide lidar scan. So much of our history could be hidden beneath waves, jungles and snow.
And people (men mostly) don't understand that the "no makeup" look is, in many cases, in fact a lot of makeup applied with skill.
Yes. I kept my external blu-ray player in bubble-wrap in a drawer for the last 5 years with no use for it. When I tried plugging it in last year, it was no longer working (clicking noise, probably from one of the motors). In 20 years, absolutely no one except maybe specialized IT companies will have a working optical drive at disposal (just like tape players and sloppy drives).
It's not GOTOphobia. It's people blindly doing what others are telling them to do (or not to do) without the ability to critically think about what they're being told.

Lots of people just follow whatever anyone, who they perceive as authority, says. Critical thinking isn't a common trait.
Advisor to the CTO on request of their investors after an acquisition. The big challenge was to merge the two technologies.

And advisor to the CEO in a scale-up where they used to have a quite technical founder as the CEO who left and got replaced by a not so technical outside hire.

I'm also trying to get a few more board advisor kind of roles, but so far everything has been with an emphasis on the tech side of the business.

That’s what I meant by “the paste via third app maneuver”.
As http and https are separate origins, and this website might want to have secure cookies, I'm guessing that a while back they started moving to a more modern / secure web stack but had to figure out how to deal with legacy ~ URLs and made the decision not to break all of those URLs but instead just continue to serve them only as http and then have the rest of the website redirect to https. The reality is that, if you insist on redirecting http to https even when the underlying website doesn't want you to, you are going to end up with a broken experience sometimes and it frankly isn't notable.
You monster.

I like you!
All sources are secondary technically. The only primary sources about stuff like what happens in Ukraine are in Ukraine. I happen to know some people there but how many do?

Just like that, all information ever is always "incomplete, out of context, simplified, generalized and distorted in other ways". It's impossible to provide "complete" "objective" information, choosing to report on something but not the other thing is already bias and you can't report on everything all the time (I'm sure there are some fundamental limitations in information theory/incompleteness theorem).

I tried railway and northflank. Really like the UI northflank has; I think anyone familiar with Kubernetes should feel right at home. I also agree with the sentiment that railway ui is simpler.
I think the other point being - very few applications need this kind of scaling.
I (and apparently most of the people I follow) moved to Mastodon and bridge some posts to Twitter, hopping over to keep tabs on stragglers and read the odd comic that is still Twitter only.

The problem is that CPAP really sucks, and if you're more on the UARS side(arousals over apneas and hypopneas), or have poor nasal breathing, it's likely to disrupt your sleep more than it helps it.
I haven't tried this filter, but some of the older filters would alter the structure of the face. Makes the jaw a bit more defined, higher cheekbones, makes nose smaller, changes eyes, and the list goes on.

And once people start using these beauty filters, it's hard to go back if you're somewhat insecure to start with. Unfortunately, many of these things can be done permanently via surgery. Do we want a whole generation of teenagers that dream of getting their face "fixed" ?
Yeah stop trying to "cancel" "cancel culture".
This idea was raised years before Martin Fowler blogged about it. The tar pit paper linked in the article is from 2006 and the author's had been doing this year's prior to that.
Thanks for writing this up and sharing. The rawness of the experience comes through very clearly, and while it must have been difficult to write it reads very well. Hopefully this can help other people in the same situation. Your level of persistence in getting to the root cause is phenomonal.
I used to know a bunch of those by heart from doing tech support at an ISP (and testing several different modems).

You could give them to the public via the Internet Archive and a license that makes them publicly available for everyone at no cost, only keeping authorship in place.

When you conjure a national crisis out of a few very rare examples, that puts members of a vulnerable minority group at risk, with the express purpose to frighten your supporters while dividing your adversaries, so that your side can seize power, that's more than just a "moral panic", it's textbook fascist politics.

Any recommendations regarding blue ray vendors and disc readers?
Yes, this is my approach, as long as you stick to standard interfaces, you can migrate rather quickly.

Your level of abstraction may vary. I stick to VMs after realising how much overhead I had with the cloud as a one-person shop.

Teams can interface with k8s which is also standard nowadays, taking you can spawn a cluster fast.
Gov’t jobs often require due process to dismiss. This can involve steps that are almost impossible to fail. They also often have a probationary period. It’s cool that Germany does things differently.

It's a huge catch-22:

You need a smartphone to take part in modern social life. (Yes, adults can choose life without a smartphone or any social media, in reality teenagers can't without being ostracised).

On the other hand using smartphones and social media can also result in stress and comparing your ordinary life to other people's highlights.

ChatGPT response for the reference:

"As an AI language model, I am a software program that runs on computer servers hosted in data centers. The specific hardware configuration of these servers may vary depending on the cloud computing provider that hosts me and the specific instance type that I'm running on. However, in general, the hardware used to power AI language models like me typically includes high-performance CPUs or GPUs (graphics processing units) and large amounts of memory and storage. This allows me to process and analyze large amounts of text data and generate natural language responses in real-time."
It would be nice if such articles could identify the Latin name of the mentioned species. It's hard for me to know exactly what fish a "redfish" is. People all over the world call certain fish "red fish", like Americans call Sciaenops ocellatus redfish, while Chinese call Lutjanus erythropterus redfish, while they are actually completely different fish. In the other hand, the redfish in this article is called ocean perch in the US, although it is not a perch at all. Common names are confusing. Until now, I have not been completely sure what kind of fish the referred redfish is. If anyone knows its Latin name, please help me to know.

> Sadly, Google have co-opted to run RCS (https://jibe.google.com/) and most people have now serious doubts if Google will ruin messaging again like how they ruined Hangouts.

Even though there’s nuance to this (RCS is a standard but Google’s running their own server with E2E extensions), this statement is a common ruse to deflect the blame onto Google. All modern instant messaging services are centralised. This entire “Google runs RCS” debate is a straw man to deflect blame onto Google. Meanwhile, Apple is the party that doesn’t want anyone plugging into its walled garden.

Oh man. I remember from 15 years ago or so when I used to struggle with arabic script, would often resort to writing in another software and exporting it to PNG or EPS in order to use it in PS. Luckily, there was a 3rd party add-on that fixed that issue.
I recently spend some time looking into this bug again, because I develop a tool to detect known cryptographic vulnerabilities in public keys called badkeys - https://badkeys.info/ if you're interested.

Some notable things I learned:

* This affects both OpenSSL and OpenSSH, but the keys are different. I.e. you have a set of vulnerable OpenSSH keys and a set of vulnerable OpenSSL keys. But the key format is the same, yet most of the tools to detect just look for either of these. I found a TLS certificate created with a vulnerable key generated by OpenSSH.

* It was "conventional wisdom" that ECDSA was unaffected because some sources said that OpenSSL version did not support ECDSA. However that was wrong, you can generate ECDSA keys with that old version.

Generally it seems a lot of the detection tools are incomplete. E.g. github seems to block some vulnerable keys, but only a subset.
With the standard tools you have a whole spectrum of options:

a) Cloud providers;
b) Hosting providers;
c) Collocation;
d) On-prem;

Hello, 24/7/365 merino wearer here.

The same merino wool T-shirt that keeps me warm in the -25C winter also keeps me cool (and warm) in the heat.

The magic is in the fact that wool is warm even when it's wet. It also dries like nobody's business. I tried every single technical clothing brand before I discovered merino wool. Every single high-tech garment was cold AF when it drew the sweat from my body.

A merino T-shirt is still warm and dries quickly in the slightest of breezes.

And don't get me started about cotton shirts, they're just plain death traps in the cold and not much better in the warm.

Linen is the only thing that comes close to merino wool in comfort during the summers.
and hardware capable of running the software
Well yes of course. But then you have to manage everything yourself. The whole purpose of fly.io, heroku, raleway, etc, is that you don't have to care (much) about ops & sec. Handling it yourself (or hiring someone to do it) can cost way more than 1000$/m. When you grow big enough it might not be worth it anymore, but for smaller project, it can be really useful.
And for the record, at the moment, I host most of my service on my own server.
It's a very pleasingly bold product given the dull conservatism of the phone/pc scene, but Android wouldn't work for me as a primary OS.
I have a different opinion. My sleep improved a million fold when we put our daughter in her own room. All the small noises, the movement. Being able to close a door once in a while, was much better.

fwiw, for non-html workloads we serve (nodejs) with shared-cpu (several 100 requests per second), the latencies (p50, p75) remain consistent.
You can still do this with Windows 11!

I had to do this recently because of an old, well-known, but relatively rare bug with Windows installs. I created an 8GB partition at the start of the target hard disk, booted from it, and installed the OS into the rest of the disk. When the OS was up and running, I cleaned out the install partition.

Now I have an empty 8GB partition on my computer, which is a bit irritating. But I try not to think about it too much.

We've set expectations very clearly in that it's pre-release status with the intent to compete with Electron and similar projects. Node is an extremely common word in software for example, but it's not a problem because people generally apply context to their searches.
Mastodon For Dummies: the most important book I’ve written
I agree with this. For me, I stuck it out longer than I should have due to a combination of youthful idiocy with a chip on my shoulder, a work visa, and a fear that if I threw in the towel now I would never work again.

In retrospect, I would have been doomed if it was that bad regardless, so I recommend others to take the life raft while they can
This makes me really sad to read. I really hope you don't do that. I can't imagine how hard this must have been for you.

I sometimes feel like life is to much. What helps me is the realization that life right now is hard but I am enduring. What makes it feel to much is the feeling that this burden is going to go on forever. So I try to be satisfied with the fact that I am capable of handling life right now, and the future is a problem for future me.

What techniques have you looked into for improving your condition?

That just simply means you can't read arabic. You absolutely do not need to vowels to be able to read arabic, if you know the language, you know the vocabulary and know how a word should be pronounced. The vowels are there to aid in clarity. In most cases one single vowel could outright turn a word into its own antonym. And right now, 99% of arabic text is written without vowels apart from Quran and literary works.

My 1.99 penny doom prediction: this is actually good, and will help destroy beauty standards in general. Beauty will not matter when it is easily achievable/buyable. People will look at any sort of body modding technics with disgust. Similar to how Instagram effects (like color overlay, bloom, burn-in) were first seen as nice but quickly everything had it, it took 2 taps, and looking back now it's incredibly tacky.
This is the only reply to my snarky comment I can concur to so far. I missed the adverb which, you could argue, applies to both sentences. Other comments miss the fact that just having enough (or more) full sleep cycles and following basic "sleep hygiene" is still not enough to feel rested in the morning for a considerable part of population.

My original comment is not up to standard, I'm not trying to deny that.
How does this compare to Iconify - https://icon-sets.iconify.design ?
We create software for designers in Delphi. Building a project of an apartment or house in 3D, with its own excellent render. More than 15 years on the market. We have our own server cluster for cloud rendering. And many other services. We also create mobile applications for our clients. For example, an application for viewing panoramas and ready-made projects for large shopping centers (they give tablets to customers there).
This continues to be a good point and for years my dad, a architect, has told the story of a wise(?) records department he consulted with that demanded their budget be spent on good passive temperature and humidity control for a bigger paper records storage space rather than power/cooling for a small data center.

BUT.

I would not give up hope on old digital storage mediums. I have recently read a casually stored CD-R containing code i wrote 25 years ago with surprisingly no issues. I know of friends who have read the 40 year old floppies from their childhood after discovering them in the garage. My ROM based game cartridges also read fine after 2 decades in an unheated barn. curiousmarc and friends (youtuber) have read the runtime state of the memory of Apollo-era computers among other things.

Correspondingly, nearly all of the paper records I've come in contact with over the years have been disposed of, damaged or last (many of them pictures and memorabilia). I think the issue we face is a lot about choosing what to preserve more than what medium to preserve it in.
I'm not an "on-premise bare-metal server absolutist". Of course there are trade offs in terms of convenience but there are also trade offs in terms of cost and performance and vendor lock-in. It all depends on what you need and what are your specific constraints.

Is time to market critical? Will you have daily traffic fluctuation between 10 to 10k users? Will you lose a ton of money/customers for any service interruption? By all means use the latest version of managed kubernetes combined with whatever other cloud service tickles those itches. But don't forget to always keep an eye on your bills and think how can you reduce them by simplifying your architecture.

But if you're just building a corporate intranet for a few dozen users who log in once a week I'm pretty sure a simple VM (even if managed in AWS) would make much more sense.

And if you really want to roll your own there are plenty of options to make your life much easier compared to sending a rocket into outer-space. Yes it's more work upfront but after you do the setup the first time there's little to do.

infra automation & templates:
- ansible, docker, etc

log storage:
- mount shared storage
- ELK
- use a paid LaaS or monitoring SaaS

certificate management (on LB machine only):
- certbot

access controls:
- linux user and groups management

patch management:
- enable unattanded upgrades for security patches

health monitoring:
- in terms of lb nginx has that built in.
- for more advanced use cases use a paid service (new relic) or a free one (nagios)

remote administration:
- ansible, etc.

Don't get me wrong I use cloud on a daily basis for work, I'm just sad because most teams don't know how to use it effectively without jumping the gun.
I learned coding in the 90s and I've seen that kind of code. While BASIC itself already advanced to the point where structured conditionals and loops were available pretty much everywhere, plenty of code that was written earlier was still around.
LOL :). Took my a while (I am not getting any younger), but eventually the penny did drop...
