One nice thing fly has going for it is that you’re just deploying standard OCI containers, so there’s pretty minimal lock-in if you need to get off in a hurry. Due to some edge cases I recently transitioned a workload from Fly to AWS in 2 hours or so.
Caching has nothing to do with indexing. If I set up an HTTP cache to serve cached websites on my network, it would be difficult for anyone to request to not cache the HTTP responses considering it is most likely they would not be aware of them at all. It is, however, exactly equivalent to what websites such as archive.ph are doing.
Grocery stores would be better served by not being giant chains with optimization problems, at least in North America.

Better zoning laws that allow mixed-use zoning would enable more, smaller grocers embedded in neighbourhoods. Personalized service would be much easier on a smaller scale. And you wouldn't have to travel far to pick it up.
Strange, I often have this. Feels like it's related to more to smoking, drinking, dust, lack of fresh air.

My doc told me once you're better off rinsing your noise with salt water and then positioning your head in a certain way to let gravity do its thing and it works wonders even without rinsing the nose. Avoid OTC nose sprays at all cost!

Osteopaths gave me nothing but witchcraft over a period of 15 years: "your lower back pain is due to the EM rays coming out of your computer screen. Spend more time outside. And let me work on your energy points. That will be $150 please. Oh and PS - don't even try running, it will destroy you even more".

In the end all it took was advice from a good physio (strengthen your core). And I can now run a half marathon with no problems, despite one leg being 15mm longer than the other which was the reason for my lower back pain. My hips weren't straight, putting stress on my core muscles.
Historically it’s believed PC underperformed Consoles, but at this point it’s estimated that PC revenue is equivalent to the entire console market combined (for what it’s worth, both combined pull in less money than mobile gaming world wide).

As for the price thing, I suspect it’s the big vs small purchase mentality. Same reason it’s easier to get someone to buy a 10 dollar monthly subscription than a 100 dollar flat out purchase. Most people compare instant costs and ongoing ones in different ways.

Personally though, agreed on the value of having a massive backlog of games to play on PC. Wouldn’t be surprised if that’s part of why PC revenue has caught up to consoles.
> Before using the voter application, it is recommended to check if the latest security updates have been installed on the computer.

I was worried for a moment about the security implications of using un-auditable black boxes running stacks of binary blobs, from the Intel/AMD management engines, through the firmware and BIOS, all the way up the stack to the closed-source foreign-made operating system.

But I see the Estonian government is on top of things. Democracy works best when voting takes as little thought and effort as ordering a pizza.
Apparently, it's zip, except with an UB if sizes don't match.
The difference is that most people didn't do that for photos back then.
Yes. I got a strange error saying I was using an unsupported browser and I must use Chrome to login.

I use Vivaldi, which is Chromium based.

After a few minutes I could login just fine with it.
Italian espressos are really quite fast. If you are in a hurry and the barista knows you, you can be on your way within 30 sec of entering the bar. Even of you are not a repeat customer you can get out faster than you get served in chain coffee shops anywhere else I have been to.

The Italian espresso is small, and is served well-tempered (not too hot) in a well-tempered cup by fast baristas. If you are in a rush, you can drink it in one go straight away. Why would you waste a takeaway cup?
Not really, they're being killed off by mining companies.
Maybe NYC doesn't need to build more. However there are a lot of cities that don't have nearly the metro system that NYC does. Minneapolis could use one downtown (they have light rail, but downtown it is just buses), and this could go to St Paul (ie make the green line a subway). Kansas City, Denver, Dallas are just a few of the large cities that could use a subway system but don't have it. Des Moines has more population than Stockholm when Stockholm started building their subway - that enabled a transformation of Stockholm's build form to become much denser (as opposed to become a car first city as the people got rich enough to afford more)
Shameless plug: I’ve spent a bit of time making LTspice simulations of some popular pedals and putting them up on GitHub.

This is great to know! I'm sure surgery is a lot more comfortable without a face mask! Also, hospitals can stop those silly, expensive droplet precautions!

There's a difference between "mask mandates don't work" and "masks don't work". This clearly propagandistic article is blurring the two assertions.
I haven't been using mine much either.

Steam Deck is in an odd place since it works worse for low end indie games than a Nintendo Switch (it lacks the "it just works" experience) and it's worse for high end games than an expensive gaming PC (which admittedly not everyone can afford.)

I like the idea of Steam Deck and there are many games it can handle that the Nintendo Switch cannot, but when Nintendo finally updates their hardware this advantage will be reduced.
Yes, I was indicating that what I have seen was in line with article's assertions.
Assuming you mean McKinsey, this is such a great Canadian typo.
The most ridiculous part of the EPA approach:

> "But the agency won’t turn over these records or reveal information about the waste-based fuels, even their names and chemical structures. Without those basic details, it’s nearly impossible to determine which of the thousands of consent orders on the EPA website apply to this program. In keeping this information secret, the EPA cited a legal provision that allows companies to claim as confidential any information that would give their competitors an advantage in the marketplace."

There's no explanation of this other than regulatory capture. Might want to look into how many people from the EPA Chevron has been hiring as consultants etc., or how much money Chevron has been giving to politicians who approve EPA heads, the hiring practices of EPA heads, and so on.

I'd guess much of the problem is that they only partially breakdown the plastics into the desired long-chain hydrocarbons that make up the jet fuel, so there's likely a big pile of partially-broked down plastics that they then have to dispose of, which is a likely source of carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and so on, plus dioxin which is particularly problematic as a hormone mimic and disruptor of basic cellular processes (see Agent Orange, Vietnam):

"Dioxin formation during combustion of nonchloride plastic, polystyrene and its product" (2005)

Imagine if you made no progress, day in and day out. None whatsoever

This is the prelude to burnout for lots of people. It’s almost always circumstantial and likely to be a result of decisions made by others, but the point is that making no progress sucks

So from there you can conclude that sometimes people want to make more progress. They want to be a bit more productive sometimes, just to fill our needs for self actualisation a bit.

I agree with your sentiment in the abstract, that it’s not up to workers to just maximize productivity for (really) no gain. Bosses want more output? That’s their problem.

But sometimes just being a bit more productive is good for the mood! And some people have trouble for process reasons rather than external reasons.
It's funny that you mention that because cosmetic surgery like breast enhancement and reduction are performed on minors an order of magnitude more often than anything having to do with gender presentation. I assume you spend a proportionate amount of time and energy fighting that practice?

And we allow minors to participate in all kinds of potentially harmful or regrettable things, with parental consent. Working as actors, playing sports that risk brain injury, using firearms, and yes, getting cosmetic surgery.

This isn't a new category of thing we're allowing minors to do. Why suddenly the strict consideration by outsiders who never cared about any of those other things?

The people cultivating this moral panic have admitted that it is a step on the way to a complete ban on trans healthcare and a crackdown on the existence of trans people. First make it impossible for minors, then under 25, then everyone.

Again you cannot just ignore that context and pretend that, ah, well, nevertheless, I just really think this one thing is important for this specific reason.
If you fall due to tripping over a rock or something then of course you can damage your knee. The point is that running a lot won't necessarily wear your knees out.
The problem exists in the US too. We just have so much more money so the problem is masked imo.
TL;DR consider making your own mini-CDN. This is an expensive route to go

One could acquire VPS nodes in multiple VPS providers around the world and use something like HAproxy to be the outer-ring of protection and NGinx as a middle ring of memory caching on a different set of VPS accounts and use Wireguard to encrypt the traffic between nodes. Use a different VPS/server provider for your React nodes. Not perfect but perfect is the enemy of good so I am told. It's a bit of work but I think at least attempts to mitigate your concerns. Using something like UltraDNS one could serve up the closest cache node to the visitor via DNS. Not as good as Anycast but only a couple VPS providers support Anycast.
This key was 500 some hours before the incident started, I hope it's unrelated.
It’s more likely the configuration of the automatic machine not the machine itself.
Very early in my programming career I still couldn't decide whether I want to do programming or graphic design. I worked for an online game written in ActionScript (Flash) and was designing armors and some other in-game objects. I also participated in the game's forum on behalf of game's admins where they collected and discussed player's requests and suggestions for in-game new features.

My ICQ number was thus available to the wide audience as I was sometimes the focal point of player's complaints or requests. One day a player I didn't know personally contacted me on ICQ, and his avatar featured a piece of headgear I designed. I had tears standing in my eyes knowing that someone valued my work so much they actually decided to use it to represent their online identity.

Never since have I been so close to the situation that whatever I did mattered. My wife works for the government (also in IT sector), but she has better job satisfaction than I have in the sense of knowing that whatever she does has any impact at all.

In my case, I'm automating testing and deployment of a piece of software that's essentially exclusive in its market niche. So much so that customers have no idea how bad it actually is, since they have nothing to compare it to. The testing of the software I work on is outright worthless, so whether it's more automated or not -- it will have no impact on the outcome. Not to mention that the biggest problems with the software are in its design, in the decisions that went towards the core elements of it, that, at this point, nobody dears even to question, let alone to reverse them. So, it sucks. It's going to suck. And it's going to suck for a very long time in the very same way because no replacement is coming.

But, hey, I get a visa! And a permanent contract! Yee-haw!
It is also massively arrogant to assume everything we observe in nature we can synthetically create - we might fail on some things. In fact so far, we fail on a lot in many areas.
Btw. the fact that companies are wasting money doesn't really mean much.
Correct. Obesity is the leading cause in the US. A vast amount of anyone overweight in the US have sleep apnea, diagnosed or not.
There are some incoming geomagnetic storms. They can impact technology and people. Look up the Kp Index.
It's not true that you need a superspecialkid to manage a billion dollar project.
Just get a guy with a good reputation at the office.

The problem is not giving normal people an opportunity and always going for these big companies where people that are normal but good at selling themselves steal taxpayers money with "consultancy".

Just choose a guy with a good reputation in the office to lead the thing, don't bother him and it will be done well and at a fraction of the cost.

Health care providers can order genetic testing to help discover how your body metabolizes tons of things.

I recently had it done and it illuminated an entire class of anti-depressant that has very little efficacy for me.
- "the EPA had blacked out sections, including the chemicals’ names"

If you follow the linked PDF, the publicly disclosed descriptor is "Distillates, hydrotreated light P-21-0158". That's for the one with the insane toxicology ("The cancer risk estimate for inhalation of stack air for P-21-0158 was 2.5E-01").

> You deplete your carb stores after a few hours (depending on pace etc), and then YOU ARE RUNNING ON KETONES, whether you like it or not. You physically cannot eat and digest enough carbs to sustain your pace for any longer period of time.

What do you mean, this is precisely why all professional runners and cyclists consume gels. Not only is it possible to not deplete your carb stores, it's actually pretty easy to keep them from depleting.

> What happens is that your body is not accustomed to burning fat for energy, and so it just doesn't know what to do.

Vast majority of professional cyclists and runners spend majority of their time training in low-instensity zones, where fats are the main source of energy. How then, would they not be accustomed to burning fat for energy?

That's not what happens anyway, the "bonk" is because your body was relying on turning carbs into energy, but the carb stores have depleted. If you try to keep the same effort, your body will be unable to provide sufficient energy to keep you going and you will "bonk". If you were to lower your effort enough for fats to be able to provide sufficient energy, you'd be fine. Anyway, the solution is to consume more carbs, to keep the stores from depleting and no to remove that fuel source entirely.

> Yes, your sprints will be slower, but in exchange you will simply not be hungry, or feel loss of energy.

Sure you won't feel a loss of energy, because you've never had that energy in the first place. I don't understand why you would remove a major fuel source entirely, is there any science behind this?
You are right, productivity only matters if one's aims are meaningful and one wants to accomplish them.

Most people have that in at least some aspect of their work and life.

They are working on their own thing (as the person in the post does), their compensation is directly (sales) or indirectly (almost everyone) is tied to it, because they want to see some impact or they simply have pride in their profession and work.

It seems odd to live a life with nothing you want to accomplish with more speed and certainty.
Lol, wow.
Here's my cynical take:

Sounds like the environmentalists will soon advertise their campaigns with "Get cancer to save the climate!".
Ironically, the Steam Deck emulates Switch games better than the Switch runs them.
I also had a positive experience of taking a sleep study, getting diagnosed with partial sleep apnea, and getting surgery to open up my nasal passage.

I had been wearing breathe-right strips, having been unable to sleep through the night without them.
Are there algorithms to select the lens elements for me given the properties I want?

How does one buy lens elements? Are they custom manufactured or out of a catalog?

Given exponentially decreasing costs for storage, there's an argument for archiving everything of potential value and low liability risk. Ditto for store-width and testing recoverability.
1. Escrow isn't free in time, attention, or money. (Why does everyone on this site think escrow and lawsuits are free?)

2. Sponsoring an event is effectively marketing. Returns aren't guaranteed in the first place. A $10,000 donation is less than most places spend on google ads for a week.

3. Conventions need the money before they can print anything. No one smart is doing net 30 invoicing for your sub-$1,000 print job.*

* We borrowed a volunteer's $85 laser printer for all of our B&W stuff. Print cost? An OEM toner cartridge and the cheapest box of copy paper Staples had.
> The Environmental Protection Agency recently gave a Chevron refinery the green light to create fuel from discarded plastics as part of a “climate-friendly” initiative to boost alternatives to petroleum. But, according to agency records obtained by ProPublica and The Guardian, the production of one of the fuels could emit air pollution that is so toxic, 1 out of 4 people exposed to it over a lifetime could get cancer.

You can bet your asses that Chevron is lobbying the hell out of Congress. And, thanks to "Citizens United", we'll never know how much.

Thankfully most games I’ve played have an option to scale UI text, which has addressed this for me. Hopefully more games add an option for this.

I'm a developer (age 50+) rather than a data scientist and I've been lucky enough to enjoy all my jobs.

Partly I put this down to working at small companies where you have the autonomy to get things done without too much bureaucracy. However if I was put in a situation where I was working in a large organization and felt the job wasn't making the most of my talent, I would do 2 things:

(a) take my best guess of what I could do that was in my power that would have the greatest impact on the bottom line, and spend as much time as possible doing that (this might not have much relation to my job description)

(b) go as far up the management chain as necessary to try and get someone to understand what I was doing and why.

This maybe a naive and optimistic approach but I'd like to think that after you've tried this with a few different employers you'd find somewhere you were properly appreciated.
I think we're on the same page. I only wanted to further contrast for readers the difference between something like fly.to and AWS. There's a lot of pros / cons, and one of them is selection.

I wasn't sure what the dedicated instances for fly.io were running on (can't find it on this page: https://fly.io/docs/about/pricing/#plans). To truly do an apples / apples compare there's networking capabilities, storage, and other considerations also.
Dijkstra is not just arguing all exits should return to the same point, but also that you shouldn’t enter or exit in the middle of a block. Execution should consist of executing blocks zero or more times, but either fully or not at all.

Exiting in the middle of a block would be just as bad as entering in the middle, according to the argument he is making.
I am just interested in what they want and how effective the process is at getting it

> people thought a union meant they'd get what they wanted. But unions can only get you what they have the power to force employers to give up. And when you only unionise one store that is basically nothing...

You should write news copy for stories on HN startups. "They thought they would have big success, but they only acquired one customer so far, which is basically nothing".

more fair alternative to subscriptions probably is 'pay as you go' model which used by mobile carriers and some games developers. Do you need to use calculator app often? -just buy enough 'credits points' and if you won't need using app anymore is no need to pay anything until your credits is gone and would be new need for app usage again.
Just a comment on shot count.

Latte’s are an exception where a tall only gets 1 shot.
I like "maxing out the technical credit card." I think of technical debt as needful work that you just can't afford to do right now (usually in lieu of chasing features) so you "charge it" and then having to deal with a suboptimal situation you're then "paying interest" on that debt.
Would you be willing to have your salary reduced if your productivity is lower?
Lots of folks don't work at the same time daily, and more work a shift that makes them sleep less due to children (Second shift, but has to get up to get the kid off to school). A good deal of other folks have long commutes or can't get out after 8 hours (their shift is 8 hours plus an hour lunch or standard 10 hours).

It doesn't seem that hard to get unhealthy sleep patterns in a workday.
For reference / comparison, how many regional outages have there been? Did service outages get avoided due to running a workload in multiple regions?
I would expect that to be as effective as when a man does it. At least with me; to the low-effort "Hey" men, a low-effort "Hi" woman might well be a perfect match.
How does the Kubernetes integration work? Can we specify a infisical secret to reference inside of a Kubernetes secret manifest yaml? Thanks.
It's not, the steamdeck subreddit is full of these people. But I think the Steam Deck overall is much more attractive than a gaming laptop, and once you get a Deck, you don't want to then reinvest into a laptop powerful enough to compete, and so you end up with weird setups like this.
