This is a good overview, but being from 2012 it's missing comment on one now common area, using a real browser for crawling/scraping.

You will often now hear recommendations to use a real browser, in headless mode, for crawling. There are two reasons for this:

- SPAs with front end only rendering are hard to scrape with a traditional http library.

- Anti bot/scraping technology fingerprints browsers, looks at request patterns, and browser behaviour to try and detect and block bots.

Using a "real browser" is often advised as a way around these issues.

However from my experience you should avoid headless browser crawling until it is absolutely necessary, I have found:

- Headless browser scraping is between 10x and 100x more resource intensive, even if you carefully block requests and cache resources.

- Most SPAs now have some level of server side rendering, and often that includes having a handy JSON in the returned document that contains the data you actually want.

- Advanced browser fingerprinting is vanishingly rare. At most I have seen detection of user agent strings and comparing them to http headers and the order of them. If you make your http lib look like a current browser you are %99.9 of the way there.
There is no reality where a desktop GPU is not a luxury item. If a society wants to sell a lot of luxury items, it needs to be prosperous.

Prosperity means lots of people have buying power. Right now we have the opposite of that and a lot of gaslighting about it, which is not the same thing, and the more they tighten their grip on control, the more prosperity will fall away from us all.
I wonder how much the amount of data transfer costs (for training or finetuning) might be a big on top of that. I am assuming ingress costs are relatively cheap in most services (as in AWS).
I find the only predicting factor in which policies the right or left will adopt to be what sort of parent would implement them- the right wing want the state to be a father, the left want it to be a mother.

By that lens, it makes total sense that the more seriously one takes the right-left polarity, the more one needs a parental figure!

I wonder if the pirates they serviced will take up a collection for their commissary.
Fully agree.

The other factor, aside from greed, that caused the asset stripping madness was the worry that the socialists would retake power in Russia as they had a significant presence in parliament. I’ve heard that part of the need for speed (and lack of longterm plan) was the perception that Russia needed to see off that threat ASAP.

But came next was much worse.
Maybe it's because people are realizing crypto is a scam so they don't need GPUs anymore.

Maybe it's because people are struggling to buy new hardware when inflation is being used as an excuse to price gouge everything.

Maybe console becoming more popular would be better represented by console sale numbers not something else.

China for some decades has been the bulk supplier of precursor, near finished, and often final pharmaceuticals thanks to the US (and Europe) being happy to outsource "the boring stuff" in drug production.

China and its trade shows have been a one stop shop for bespoke drug synthesis and off brand matching of prescription drugs.

It takes good science education to support a hyper industrial scale (supplying the US, Europe, the US, and other countries) drug production pipeline.
Tell people immediately that you'll check for the answer ASAP, and delay your response.
This will lead to several desirable outcomes:

- people might try to figure things out, or find an answer that might not strictly how things works, but consistant with it. (this last thing can be extremely powerful, as it can lead to better communication with clients).

- people will internalize that they won't have instant answer and organise themselves with that immuable fact. They'll naturally end up to compound potential questions, and that probable async replies lead them to refine their question in a more precise way.

- occasional instant reply gets valued for what it is.

If instant replies with sync conversation are expected, there is an organisational problem, and it's not sustainable. It's bad habit, being small business is not a good enough excuse.

The BIOS password is a pretty meaningful protection - if it can be easily subverted it's possible to disable security features (such as IOMMU configuration for Thunderbolt devices in the boot environment) that allow an attacker to compromise the boot process. But I agree that there's no universe in which people should be selling devices that require unknown passwords as if they're generically usable.

I love Vim but I also am not convinced that having more "motions" makes you more efficient.

Specifically, I think the "Javascript the Good Parts" approach applies to Vim as well : if 90% of the vim shortcuts I use only 5% of the time, it's both not worth my time to invest in learning them, it's also making invest less time really mastering the best shortcuts.

So I feel like Crockford's mindset in that JS book totally applies to vim: if you can do some motion with two keys instead of one, but using a smaller set of motions that you get to know REALLY well, then trying to remember the extra shortcuts just so you can save a key is not a good investment - on the other hand it is a great way to continue to mythologize some kind of "super efficient" developer/writer whose work somehow is made better by typing faster.

Vim is complex enough as it is. I'd love to see a really opiniated "Vim : The Good Parts¨ manual - where the author collects the most useful motions, and bluntly says "these are NOT worth learning".
Once again you just keep asserting things without any evidence and in its place attack anyone who asks for it as “defending murderers” as if that is a foregone conclusion. This is the logic of charlatans and liars my friend. Think a bit harder about why you believe these things and if it is evidence and not emotion share it with me please.
They literally send an email every single day for a month. And they are flexible enough that if you do write them they will happily extend that grace period.

It’s like saying car is a shitty transportation service because it stops working once the gas runs out.

Your comment just shows that you are still deeply caught in the propaganda. I wonder how you and people like you will psychologically cope when you'll inevitably learn the truth over the next decades.

It's one thing to be wrong, it happens to all of us, but quite an other to literally believe the opposite of the truth and be so smug, superior and self-righteous about it.
>Somehow we never got a significant market of computer games for adults

Most of today's gaming industry is targeting adults. Kids rarely have the money to purchase 70$ games more than once or twice a year.
If you're going to spell it "Kiev", why not just go all the way and refer to the country as "the Ukraine"?
You assume that the quake maps were built sequentially, but that's not the case. Since this was all new technology, the "best" maps were conceived at the end of development, after the team was familiar with the tech. You want those maps to be at the start of the game, as it's the first thing the player sees.

Also, the distinct style of the last episode is easily explained by the fact that all of its maps were built by Sandy Petersen. E3 was mostly American McGee, while John Romero and Tim Willits worked on E1 and E2.

I'm not a fan of Petersen's maps either, but they are regarded (and liked) as quite unique, compared to the rest of the game.
Welcome to real life. I've had similar thoughts to you but in the context of writing. Many coding tutorials I wrote last year can now be done with GPT-4. The same tutorials that I wrote last year got me a lot of exposure on various sites and directories, but that hasn't been the case since early this year.

I imagine it's like this for many people. And, personally, I'm trying not to think/dwell on it, and simply move on with life and projects and work. Whatever happens, I know for a fact I don't have control over it.

The seed of disruption has now been planted, so we have to wait and see in which direction it grows. But I think a big wave will eventually come that will displace a lot of jobs in one big swoop.
I use the ESP32 in many of my art-projects and it works perfectly: enough memory, compact, cheap and the “fuses” that I use to engrave the edition number and signature. Programming through Arduino works well.

Signing with the TPM doesn't work super well, given that the TPM's inherent keys can't be used for signing as a privacy protection mechanism. You'd need to store an encrypted key in the image that could be used for signing purposes, but what stops an attacker from simply wiring up the TPM directly, generating a new key pair, and storing that instead? This is a legitimately difficult problem to solve well.
At that point a cheap photodiode would be more sensitive and have higher temporal resolution
Maybe a hot take but if you want to convince people to use vim show them box select and yank and replace. It's just extremely efficient and no other editor(ide) I've used really has it by default.

Or ask them to open a 100 mega byte log file in eclipse. Even Advance IDEs simply just die. Cannot count the number of times smart diffing with vimdiff and box cutting has helped me diagnose problems that were extremely subtle. Without vim I simply couldn't do that type of diagnostics

Ask HN: Electronic note-taking – Kindle or iPad or something else
I'm looking for a device that enables me to read and annotate electronic books and papers (annotations directly on the page or with a virtual Post-It). I would also like to use the device for general note-taking, that is, as a replacement for paper notebooks.

I'm particularly interested in the Kindle Scribe but I'm also considering an iPad, because I already use a Mac and an iPhone. Unfortunately, I cannot try them out myself in a store around here.

Are any of you using these devices for note-taking and reading? Do you like the experience? Especially compared to working with plain paper. What works well and what doesn't? What should I be aware of? Can you read A4/US letter-sized PDFs comfortably? Is there something else you can recommend?

Thank you!

No need to apologise, your post made sense.
Yes, and your definition is by far the exception, not the rule. Maybe don't claim a definitive meaning when you're wrong to begin with.

One is much more likely to set off censors. Why do you feel the need to ask ridiculous questions? The word you use had already been said, censoring it would be meaningless -- whereas you ascertained the word I meant easily ;)

Nah, I look in it daily, I use it now as the address for online shops, etc. Which is a terrible idea because they can upload their data to Facebook (where I'm also registered with this email) and then both sides have a better marketing profile of me...
I think the only way to do that is redundancy.
Would you explain why you're trying to implicate DO as being in any way "dodgy" or at fault for your own failure to pay them? You got a month of service for free, and they attempted numerous times to contact you about your bill, you just didn't read their emails.

It's even worse than that. Those numbers are for deaths "with" COVID, not "of COVID". At one point, the UK was recording any death where the person had a positive COVID test at any time prior. Cancer victims and car accidents where recorded as COVID deaths. So, the odds of dying after catching COVID where highly exaggerated.

In context of your comment, what became better than Node and Express?
Theoretically, if your forum is like Reddit they can just crawl the site and look for usernames that appear on top of posts.

I feel pretty fast with just a handful of shortcuts and I learned those for maybe an hour, years ago. Somehow I can't bring myself to learn much more and I agree that the incremental gain is probably low.

Although when writing C I also tried cscope (which is more of a search in the entire repository, not really a vim motion) and it was pretty damn useful to browse code. Nowadays I mostly use grep and find.
Computer gaming is a $300bn industry. Kids alone don't have that kind of money.

There is a real "maturity/sophistication" barrier, though. Games came close to breaking through about a decade ago, then enough "gamers" decided they absolutely did not want that and made sure to destroy that possibility.
> chasing that beautiful feeling […], all the while avoiding real life.

The pursuit of happiness IS real life…
I honestly think such lists and media attention to some or another private person who owns a big chunk of a highly valued publicly listed company is a distraction. It's designed to keep the public's attention from the reality of the old fashioned monarchies that still rule over half the world's population. All the ink in the world can't change the fact that Russia and China are ruled now as they were in the 9th century: top dog calls the shots and ices enemies.
I have a term decreasing life insurance policy, which means that the amount my estate gets will drop to zero by the end of the policy. It's not the value of my life that it's covering but the value of my mortgage.
After 20 years of dev, having devops skills nearly maximized (with a AWS specialization), built/maintained/scaled many products, ... can completely relate. I really do see hostings costs differently now compared to earlier in my career, when I was more junior/midlevel where one still argues about "cool" tech/languages/architectures.

What you want from day one is a completely managed hosting for tech stack you work with, but are not hard tied to forever.

Right now I am starting some new/modern meteor.js stuff again, there is meteor galaxy for hosting that "just works" for that stack, you bring your own mongodb (I prefer atlas itself, they even have serverless now), and everything is taken care of, including CI/CD/Monitoring/... . Its like a few minutes of initial configuration, and never think about it again, and if done correctly you shold have horizontal autoscale of some kind automatically nowadays.

Yes, this is significantly more expensive than directly using AWS (which they use under the hood), and even though I am personally highly trained in this stuff+terraform/cdk/..., I don't want to have all this work anymore when I also can shell out a few hundred bucks per month instead. Just in case Galaxy becomes a problem for some reason, I _still_ can deploy the app stack to some VPS provider, but I'd use some already existing automation (like meteor-up in this case) instead of really digging into typical devops topics for it.

There is a bad feeling in the mouth as an engineer to shell out "more than needed" for infrastructure, but my rule of thumb now is that I am happy to eat that frog as long as the potential cost saving is less than 2 infrastructure engineer FTEs, thats my trigger to _maybe_ discussing it.
Discussion of the multifaceted issues causing inflation across the globe (even in countries with a less severe increase of their money supply across the same timeline) aside, does this in any way negate their position on Tesla operating their not nearly sufficiently tested "Full Self-driving Beta" on public roads using untrained members of the public?

I feel that the article, if anything, could have gone even more in-depth, as one key criticism I see rarely mentioned is Teslas constant changes to the FSD stack, the implications of which a lot of people "using" the "beta" simply will not be able to fully understand and has on multiple recorded occassions caused behavior that were different from what the untrained drivers had come to expect using previous versions.
For non-locals the suspension was assumed to be a given once Johnson received the preliminary report and decided to resign. The length of the suspension suggested is the committee clearly stating that Johnson did not just lie to parliament but continued to lie to the committee and any investigation. The consequences this is having on the running civil war within the Conservative party is also worth noting. Sunak is using this as a way to sideline Johnson supporters and they (and Johnson) are fighting back while Labour and the LibDems just sit back and watch.

Given the fact that there will be another general election in the next year at a minimum this will be a useful to observe as something of an exemplar to see what happens as various Trump crimes are prosecuted. It is not quite the same since the Tory party is currently in control of government, but the impact of scandal-related internecine warfare in the internet era will be amusing to watch.
>They couldn’t check me in.

Are you an Amazon Flex driver? Or do you even need to check-in to pickup your order as a customer?
I'd say that your service is dead unless proven otherwise. Your bills are unpaid unless proven otherwise. I'd be alerted by absence of regular emails telling me that my card was billed for the hosting service.
Well, to me it feels like something that will end up to be somehow "free". Like, I don't pay to find restaurants or activities when I go one vacations.

I feel like paying someone that will make a hard and custom search for me. That will spend time to do some screening maybe.

But that kind of platforms, they only provide an infrastructure that stores talent data. And that maybe soon anybody would be able to replicate in some ways.

Wdyt?
Ok. Can anyone name an industrialist and present evidence that he thought people were being murdered with his company’s products? If not this is just mindless lashing out at powerless Germans for losing the war.
I heard they are paying Flex drivers for that day. Well, most of them.
Exactly. And this is true for a lot of industries. Developers seem to have the impression that only software is a bit "messy", but that's because we're looking from the inside.

People wonder why large construction projects are often delayed. Well, it's often for the same reason it happens with large software projects.

I have the exact polar opposite experience (as I'm sure many do) - as a prior iPhone user (because at the time Android was pretty awful) I obviously had an apple ID and icloud account, fast forward a few years and my remaining Apple device dies, I forgot the number of the temporary sim I had in it etc etc, Apple are still refusing to either change the phone number on my account or erase it (as required by law) without me giving them the full temporary number I had on my last device, which obviously I don't have this far down the line. Apple "support" make no attempt to help they just say no number no deal, so at this point I've had to resort to pointing out their obligations under the law for removing any data and history, still waiting to see what they'll do though.

Even while I was an Apple user their support was variable at best, some issues just would not be resolved (like keychain issues etc, "we don't understand why it's broken sorry, case closed") and would not be escalated.
The animations on the site and on the actual hardware look awesome. Congratulations
COVID caused a spike, inflation is now causing a dip. It will recover just fine without anyone panicking.

The biggest reason for a short-term recovery is likely the planned obsolescence of the current generations of Nvidia cards. They have too little VRAM for the latest AAA console ports. The industry is moving towards needing more VRAM generally, badly ported games regardless.

Users have rejected Nvidia's pricing strategy for the 40 series, and have too little free cash for luxury GPUs. They'll save for the next gen and we'll see a resurgence.
Computers can do side effects so their state is effectively the universe. Which is still not infinite, but for all practical purposes the distinction doesn’t matter.
