If AWS ever decides to suspend your root account, good luck with that. They never, ever, ever give it back. I had a root account I used for free tier stuff on my primary e-mail address that I never got back because I had $2 charges I didn't pay for 4 months because I didn't realize they were even trying to charge me.

Yes. The mob mentality is an issue on reddit and has made me refrain from giving my honest opinion on a lot of topics because of the fear of being downvoted to hell. I think an upvote or like only system like Facebook or twitter would be much better.
Then again being able to focus on dull work seems more helpful than being smarter or more skilled while having to do that same work.

My day to day life is full of things I just don’t want to do, not things I’m too dumb to do.
But are they CPU limited?

There’s a difference between spending most of your time in CPU, and being CPU limited. If I’m serving 10 requests/second then even if I’m 90% CPU and 10% IO, it doesn’t matter because I’m 99% idle.

My mental model for a very high-interpreter overhead language like Ruby or Python for webdev, is that it is appropriate for sites that don’t see that much absolute interactive traffic. e.g. it’s good for a blog where you can put a cache in front of it, or an intranet service where you control the number of users. I would never use Python for a fully interactive high traffic service sitting on the open internet. There are languages that are much better at that.
Engage in a thought experiment with me, if you would. Imagine yourself 20 years in the future. And, somehow, you find that the world is a bit warmer, but things are still pretty much exactly as they've always been. Yet during this time you heard endless proclamations of the world effectively ending if extremely radical change isn't carried out in some window of 5-10 years. How do you think your future self would then further respond to such ongoing predictions?

The point the earlier poster is making is that he's making is that this behavior is self defeating, and absolutely should be blamed. The tale of 'The Boy Who Cried Wolf' dates back at least 2600 years and has its own version, independently 'discovered', in essentially every culture and language. Resorting to hyperbole for attention is simply self defeating if you care about the long-term, and in this case there is literally nothing except the long-term.

And this has been going on for far longer than 2 decades. This article [1] dates back to 1989. It starts with a lede of, "A senior U.N. environmental official says entire nations could be wiped off the face of the Earth by rising sea levels if the global warming trend is not reversed by the year 2000." with only more excitement from there. Incidentally, that page has also been edited to remove the date of publication. You can see an archive of it here [2]. Very classy AP.

If I could go back in history to try to make people care about climate change, what I would do is lowball every single prediction to emphasize that when I make a prediction not only does it come true, but it invariably ends up even greater in magnitude than I predicted. Instead of creating a rubber banding effect where you get this huge shoart term gain in attention followed by a slap back in the face, you'd instead see an initially small but ever-growing and consistent movement.

The person in this video did quite a good job, I thought, of speaking with free word order and using Latin constructions elegantly. I think he did try to make himself more intelligible (focusing on proper nouns that are easier for Italian speakers to pick up on) later on, but initially he was fire (imo.)
>“The problem is not simply fossil fuel emissions,” Guterres said, a nod to recent comments made by Sultan al-Jaber, the United Arab Emirates official who will lead the next U.N. climate summit. “It’s fossil fuels – period.”

The statement is incoherent. Why are fossil fuels, apart from their emissions, "a problem - period"?

Every resource we use, every decision we make, always have tradeoffs. Framing fossil fuels as a problem in and of themselves makes no sense to me. They've obviously been an incredible boon to humanity.

It feels akin to demonizing antibiotics because eventually antibiotic resistance will be a problem. It has saved countless lives, and will continue to save countless more, but it has some downsides which will get worse in the future. So let's say "antibiotics are incompatible with human survival."

Ellison didn't graduate. Nor Gates or Zuck. We're talking about top-school MBA's here, which was the topic (Enron).

As for Eisenhower & Fredendall: you can't really be serious. Fredendall was not a wartime general, nor was he a good planner. Plus, he was a coward who refused to listen to people, and disposed his troops ignorantly. This section was a discussion of wartime vs. peacetime generals, not MBA's.
It is a good product. I got one for my elderly mother for power outages a couple of years ago. It's light and she can charge it from her car if needed. She already used it a couple of times. It can't power the house but charging a phone, watching TV, cooking on a hot plate. Perfect for minor outages.
That article is about the packaging summit talk on introducing namespaces, not about organizations. In fact, when talking about organizations, it explicitly says:

> But support for namespaces is not part of the new feature.
I can certainly see someone running a one-person Etsy or farmers market stand business all from their iPhone. You use Excel or Google sheets to track expenses and income or just track it in a real ledger book. All the banks have an app now. She can order supplies through a browser or just by calling vendors. She can take payment in cash or card using the phone itself or a Square reader. TurboTax has an app. She can file state sales tax online or through the mail by printing forms from the phone if her payment processer isn't already handling this for her. You can even build basic websites using templates.

I'm sure all of these tasks are a little easier with a bigger screen and real keyboard but they aren't impossible to do on a phone. Plus, record keeping on paper still exists and isn't difficult if your volume is small. You could even run something like a dropshipping business where you don't do any physical work and hire freelancers to do things that usually require a real computer like graphic design. Or maybe you just own a larger business with people under you that handle all the day-to-day work while you do big picture stuff in meetings or contact clients via email.

There’s not much stopping Reddit from taking over the user accounts and just reopening the subs with the same ‘mods’ — but run by different users. The scariest part is that they could use those accounts and ‘speak’ for them — “we’re sorry, we changed our minds. we are back. huffman was right”.
They’ve already demonstrated that they have the power (and will) to modify existing users’ comments.
Sorry, my answer was for why transferring to _any_ registrar is a problem. It involves a lot of trust built up over time. I don't know SquareSpace's business dealings, but I'm sure many others who were on Google Domains don't too, and will need to build the same trust.

Google Domains has been around longer than their more recent reputation of frequently killing things. It also felt "complete". It worked (just maintain it) and people liked it, why kill it? It felt stable. But apparently everyone misjudged.

But that's also why I personally am no longer on Gmail, Google Drive, Google itself, etc. I have found replacements.
I've noticed the "over-detailed" problem a lot at my company that has dedicated "software architect" roles. IMO part of the issue is that most of them do not write any code anymore, but 'architecture' alone just doesn't have a full-time job's worth of stuff to do (or they're bad about finding it). The 'solution' they end up on is just treating UML like code and specifying exactly how they would have written the whole thing - which is a huge waste of time when they could have just been writing real code.
Shame but understandable. io_uring (like netlink) is essentially a completely new interface to kernel-land things so until security boundary stuff is sorted out this is probably the best move.
Because it's distracting, honestly. Anyone could say "Caddy does this" and they would objectively be correct. The point is about ACME client features and giving an objectively true example.
To save apollo? An ios-only app that a tiny number of people use? talk about entitlement
Ahhh. Sounds like it's mostly fear of potential loss rather than something easy to pin down and fix.

Yeah, I'm not aware of any good way to counter that kind of fear unless Apple wants to do so.

Unfortunately, countering that fear is 100% the opposite of what Apple want, so they're likely going to try and amplify it to the maximum extent instead.
The example in the article was fixed by backporting a patch from 5.15 to 5.10.

5.10 was released in October 2020. 5.15 was from November 2021.

They also changed the program so they only pay out for bugs in a recent kernel.

It seems more prudent to disable io_uring only on kernels that are say, over 2 years old.

Alternatively, they could upgrade their known-insecure kernels. I doubt the io_uring patch is the only missing one that was produced in the last three years.
Nitpick: ARPG games are much older than Diablo[1], though Diablo might be considered pioneering a special type of ARPG.

Given how much effort they’re putting into vertexai I doubt they’re bailing on cloud.

I wager it’s just expensive to run a registry. I wouldn’t be surprised if this is what they’re really selling (the TLDs), rather than the registrar.
No. It was completely new a few years ago, and they’re running kernels from three years ago that are missing security patches from two years ago.

> and that the fees it would charge developers were in line with its own costs.

To me, this reads as Reddit's costs being extremely inefficient on the backend.

Kind of wonder if there's some stuff there that should have been consolidated/optimised a bunch and they've just not done it.
>Now of course i would survive without Amazon, but it would suck greatly.

When a business is so big, that not using it would make your day to day life pretty difficult, it's far past time to break them up. I think Walmart falls into the same category. When people in small towns get trespassed in Walmart, what are they going to do?

I'm not aware of any closed source software that supplies you with source code. (Although, in contract negotiations, it is common for source code to be held in escrow for large $$$ contracts, but that is for a different perpose entirely).

Also, suppose that you were to write something that interacted with the binaries of a closed-source system. That would not automatically remove the proprietary nature of your own software, so it is not infectious at all. You may not be able to distribute the proprietary software, but you could sell it as an add-on product without surrendering your IP. That's not ebola. That's a full quarantine and separation that respects the IP of individual owners.

GPL is particularly troublesome when it is a dependency of a dependency of a dependency of a dependency. You may not even know that you are using GPL code because the dependency that you are intending to use is not GPL. Again, the words "viral" and "infectious" are used because of this behavior... And this behavior was purposefully designed into the license as part of the political beliefs of the founders.

I'm not saying that GPL is useless, but rather that it is significant and potent enough that it is a single factor that will eliminate a project from consideration. Period. No if's, and's, or but's. So much so that I personally avoid GPL as much as possible in my own projects, and I distribute my projects as MIT.
Exposure Notifications is probably already dead. It's dead in Washington state, which is also where it was originally developed alongside Google. If it's not being used in the state that it was developed in initially, it's doubtfully being used nationwide. Perhaps other parts of the world still use it, but the US no longer gives a rats ass.
> • Most kernel security bugs, they can sandbox effectively. But their sandboxing isn’t fully effective on io_uring.

This is definitely not true in general for their platform: I don’t believe they do any shared-kernel sandboxing of untrusted code at this point and their primary sandbox gVisor (used for stuff like App Engine, Cloud Functions, and Cloud Run) just doesn’t simulate io_uring at all.
> Also - planting trees is largely pointless.

Clearly this is a metaphor for doing things that will benefit future generations after you are gone.

Planting a shade tree in a park, or planting trees (of appropriate species) along a street or sidewalk is not useless.
I was thinking more as data for their product org
That's not exactly a logical comparison. We know the threat vector exists, we are already taking steps to defend against it (moving food cart in the way).

It's just a door, I am pro literal defenses and against security theatre. Maybe if we shore up the cabin we can relax some of the other bullshit theatre going on.
Keep in mind that Singapore is predominantly an East Asian city. In East Asia, you'll notice a distinct lack of homeless/crimes - like you see in almost every western city.

In order to get to a state like that, east asians give up more individual rights in exchange for a stable collective society.

So while westerners often sit here and talk bad about this sort of thing, the citizens living in Singapore are very likely to support it.

I didn't say they didn't have technical prowess... I said that wasn't the key to their overall success. iPod/Phone/Pad came out ahead of competition with better UX than what, generally, came before. They marketed consistently and did it well. They built up buzz. They paid for placement throughout TV and Movies.

They are a brand first, and a technical company second. That doesn't mean they aren't doing cool technical things. But a lot of companies do cool technical things and still fail.
I know spam is a ver big deal, but that wasn’t my experience. I wasn’t around in the 90s so I don’t know what it used to be like. But just a little over half a decade ago the blogs I used to visit still had people interacting with each other and it was common for posts to have meaningful conversations. I miss that a lot.
It's just a weirdly worded recommendation.

A few years back, Cloudflare and Amazon did DNS but didn't sell domains or didn't sell your TLD or to your region. And in general, places that were regarded as reasonably good at selling domains didn't have anything in the way of an enterprise grade DNS service. You would go to Namecheap or Porkbun or something and get a reasonable domain they had nothing like the functionality you'd get by putting DNS somewhere better.

It was well established for a long time as a fact you don't mix these roles, it's only recently that decent players started doing both.
This seems like a purported industrial HMI(human-machine interface) unit, a kind of a Pi that are one-off customized to fit on front faces of giant beige metal boxes of all kinds. And there seems to be trend of HMI devices from Chinese market. I wonder who's buying these and for what...
I too watched the video by Alec of technologyconnections.

I actually looked it up after that, and the EU rules on it are that it needs at least a CCS2 connector to be called a car charger. You can still add addition standards. useful for anyone still driving an old Nissan leaf around. (I've seen chademo connectors on charge points myself)
Sounds like a USB power supply that doesn't do any power negotiation and just gives as much current over 5V as it can handle. Those things typically top out at 2.4A so not really sure where you'd get one that could do much more.
True, but they had better pricing on all their own registry domains. I'm wondering if I have to pay more now xD, or if SquareSpace will continue the price discount.
That wasn’t the Second Vatican Council per se. Both the new Mass and the use of the vernacular were introduced by Pope Paul VI after the Council concluded. The Council had called for the Mass to be “revised”, and for “increased” use of the vernacular, but those were rather open-ended requests, and Paul VI could have chosen a far more conservative approach (closer to the modest changes made by his predecessor) than what he actually did and still have fairly claimed to have been doing what the Council demanded. And then, when his reforms got to the diocesan and parish levels, a lot of people took them in directions that Pope Paul himself likely would not have approved.
As I understand it, part of the value proposition are the features that simplify distributed computation [0]. You define a function, and then you can refer to it by some internet global hash. The packaging reminds me a bit of Val Town, which has been featured here a few times [1].

I'm getting whiplash. First Axios said they are not going to remove moderators, then someone on Reddit said they will, then someone here said they won't, which is it?

Maps was also bought
Google Maps first started as a C++ program designed by two Danish brothers, Lars and Jens Eilstrup Rasmussen, and Noel Gordon and Stephen Ma, at Sydney-based Where 2 Technologies. It was first designed to be separately downloaded by users, but the company later pitched the idea for a purely Web-based product to Google management, changing the method of distribution.
(Also you are correct for most domains. If they don't have a Specfication 9 exemption in their registry contract (or Specification 13 in the newer registry agreements), they are general availability)
I agree on principle, but in the details I have some quibbles. The core of a library is the books (the root of library is the Latin for book). For me, all I really want from a library is to loan me all the books I want for as long as I need them. I’m not particularly interested in the librarians’ happiness or grades or careers.

Well…that’s even more damning. Why did they not just roll this into cloud domains?

Perhaps they have different audiences? I guess if your on GCP, you wouldn’t need to use a non-GCP domain product.

In any given group of people something like this will appeal to some and not to others. From the limited about of information that leaked out, it is pretty clear that most people in Apple didn’t really know much about the device and only had rumors. It’s likely that only a few had ever tried to use one.

this is a new general purpose computing device, so most of the regular things you might do with a laptop would be doable here. Of course the difference here is that you have an immersive view and a nearly unlimited screen to work with and one where you can seamlessly blend the virtual and physical world. I think that is going to be transformative for the existing applications and will open up a space for other activities that we haven’t seen yet.
For Maps, they bought Keyhole:

In my late 30s I’ve noticed less and less of my peers and friends still have hobbies and interests, it seems like at some point many people either give up or lose interest and just work and get passively entertained. To me that makes them pretty boring, and hard to connect with. I connect better with people that are passionate about something, even if it’s not something I’m personally into.
