I (through my own ignorance?) haven't had much appreciation for this bit of history, but I recently visited the fascinating Museum Plantin-Moretus in Antwerp.

https://museumplantinmoretus.be/
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plantin-Moretus_Museum

They were a publisher and printing house in Antwerp, starting in the early waves of printing presses that swept Europe after Gutenberg.

Amazingly, it stayed in the family and the family obviously had an incredible devotion to their origins, they have their original presses (thought to be the oldest in the world), their original type (their founder was a big believer in the power of good type and bought up the rights where he could), the original building, their original library. It is quite the adventure (in a totally nerdish but culturally significant way!).

It was eventually sold to the city where it has been a museum ever since.

Back to the topic at hand, I agree with you, can't someone acquire this??! :)

Question 2: What is the pain point you are experiencing?

I'm doubtful many can articulate this as the first real question, at least accurately describe the true problem. This is actually a big part of the value of any "solution", yet you expect to get it for free at the start.

Later you ask what I think is the root cause... if I knew that I would state it as the pain point earlier.

Finally you just end the interaction with "thanks!". What value did I get out of this? I provided you with very shallow data for what exactly, and you gave me... nothing?

Not sure what the value proposition is...
This is a great article and it’s nice to see we’ve lots of alternatives to run ARM servers.

I ran the now defunct Scaleway ARM server mentioned in the article for several years. For €2,99 it was a surprisingly useful machine. I ran several projects (.net core) on it and it was quite good for those simple workloads. I looked for alternatives for a while but nothing turned up until Apple restarted the ARM revolution with M1.
uh... did you read the results of the poll? is that owning or accepting the will of the people?
> I don't think it's the case that finance is over produced. If it were, then the value of financial services would drop.

I don't think this follows for all financial services. Overproduction leads to a drop in value if the market is efficient, but real-life markets are not perfectly efficient. For arbitrage in particular, the whole point is that the market isn't efficient. Arbitrage makes it more efficient after the arbitrageurs have taken their cut, but the value of that service isn't necessarily determined efficiently. (At least as far as I know: I'm not an expert.)

> Rather, because the gain produced by financial instruments is proportional to the wealth someone has, the returns of finance disproportionately benefit those with large amounts of wealth. One man can only make so much plumbing or being a mechanic, but can make an arbitrary about by investing in ETFs.

> In other words, if the financial sector was largely a collection of small businesses run by middle class people, no one would think it was a problem that they make money. That would be great! But in reality it's a smaller amount of companies and smaller amount of wealthy people that benefit from it.

> That problem isn't unique to finance, it affects many parts of our society.

... but I do almost entirely agree with this.

My understanding is that species delineates “breeding boundary lines” and cultivar are “pushed gene expressions”.

Take freshwater hobby shrimp. You can relatively quickly breed them to express certain colors (cultivar) but without some gene editing you can’t cross breed caridinia and neocaridinia (species).

And if you mix up the pushed color cultivars in a few generations they are very close to “wild type” again.

I think it's important to make the differentiation between hyper-productive and context-hyper-productive, I suspect most devs fall into the latter category.

The context-hyper-productive dev is an individual who seems 10x more productive compared to everyone around them but it's often the case it's the CTO/single-dev of a startup who's entire tech they've built from the ground-up and know every nook and cranny of the codebase so can seemingly solve bugs magically by just knowing where to look immediately, thereby leap-frogging a logic chain most standard devs would have to take.
Your marketing copy should communicate this.

>PropBox is not a real estate company. It is a technically advanced media/advertising company that is specializing in advertising homes. The seller purchases an ad for a dedicated web page that benefits the seller and the buyer.

1) What PropBox is in simple terms the customer would use.

2) How it works (from the customer perspective).
You touched on a disturbing point. People like to imagine that some govt will wield to indoctrinate the populace, but it is more likely this kind of tool would be used for marketing or advertisement. look at how many people gladly work for FANG/whatever companies and develop tools just to supercharge advertisement but see no moral issues with it. as long as they're making money, and a lot of money, who cares right?

I mean advertisements already are basically brainwashing right? quirky jingles or catch phrases associated with some food or product, that stick in your head.
Can you view content on Lemmy without a registered account?
The GP is such a great example of the tyrannical use of “FREEDOM” to brainwash people in America to the point they don’t even realize they’re being brainwashed.

The GP is convinced that being lied to on a daily basis and by every commercial entity they interact with is FREEDOM.

Even though, as you point out, one can get the same FREEDOM without being lied to. But FREEDOM means whatever they have been told all their life is true and that they shouldn’t think for themselves at all.
Now that sorta sounds like what "smart" contracts were supposed to be in block chain.

Though, this kinda sounds like what a lawyer and will is supposed to do
It's also littered with examples of a lack of policy causing untold harms. A light-hearted one would be the time libertarians found out that policy helps keep the bears away[0].

The answer isn't to abandon policy, it's to design it to be flexible and to respond quickly when problems are discovered.

>Unlike what is common on other FSBO websites with flat fee listings, no MSL listing or co-broke fees exist.

Without it, it seems that in the first part of the sentence the subject is FSBO websites, so that the implied subject of the second part of the sentence is "this site".
I wonder if this is why people can become angry and aggressive when you accuse them of something. That would provide a natural defense against this kind of suggestibility.

It obviously wouldn't work with the modern police, because they would overpower you, but a few thousand years ago? I think it could've worked.
There have also been studies of cosmic rays inducing volcanic activity, as this study from Japan indicates:

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/234022172_Explosive...

"The strong negative correlation observed between the timing of silica-rich eruptions and solar activity can be explained by variations in cosmic-ray flux arising from solar modulation. Because silica-rich magma has relatively high surface tension (similar to 0.1 Nm(-1)), the homogeneous nucleation rate is so low that such magma exists in a highly supersaturated state without considerable exsolution, even when located relatively close to the surface, within the penetration range of cosmic-ray muons (1-10 GeV)."
Your observation is right on. The industry believes they perform a valuable service. PopBox believes that technology has already changed the playing field. Real estate agents job description, work environment, and compensation will change. Today they work in a 100 year old, inefficient system. PropBox uses technology to do the same work, with the customers help faster, easier and much more efficiently. This standardization and efficient process drives cost way down, and gives the customer what they want, a fast, simple, easy to use tool that puts them in control. Technology allows consumers to access the same information as the agent. This fact devalues the service, but has done little to devalue the price. We are hopeful enough customers recognize this and will save significant money with 10 to 12 hours of their time. If our test market hours of work hold up as we grow, our customers will save two thousand to six thousand dollars per hour. The customers success is our success.

I put my DNS on Route53 since it makes things like cert management and record creation (via CDK) a breeze but I keep my domains on a different registrar (Namecheap, not a vote for or against them, just who I’ve used for a long time). Mainly to not have all my eggs in one basket though all but 1 egg doesn’t really save you.

Nothing is perfect but given that SQL solves the problem, is ubiquitous, has tons of tooling and educational material, and is extremely mature... It's not going anywhere.

It's not a dinosaur, it's a shark.

Would I like to have something more streamlined and less clunky? Absolutely. But it's going to take a lot of effort for anything to become as ubiquitous as sql.
> 1.) definite improvements
> 2.) and engineering inefficiencies that are economically difficult to overcome.

Improvements can be had in directions we’re not even thinking about and possibly that spark in artificiality that brings it to life in the self autonomous way. I could see that becoming a bad path for us…

Engineering inefficiencies will arise when it’s used for the wrong thing and that’s happening a lot when a ton of money is poured in new tools that are used without being properly understood.
lemmy.ml might choose to censor or ban anti-China sentiment but other servers don't have to. They can do whatever they want. There are hundreds of servers to choose from - that's the whole point of a federated system!

Besides, Reddit has an extremely strong anti-China sentiment because its readers are too stupid to have nuanced opinions deeper than "CHINA BAD". It was getting kind of scary how much it felt like propaganda. So lemmy.ml decided to ban xenophobic discussion of any kind to avoid that kind of influence.
Thanks for pointing out! Now fixed.
The immediate thing that popped into my head is the Earth is a closed system. BS I concur.
So it's possible to use a separate gyro for cameras that don't have that function. Cool! That was the question that came to my mind immediately.

Since you've been able to make it work with a phone, I presume one could use something from this page as well:

https://www.sparkfun.com/search/results?term=gyro+accelerome...

It would be neat to make a small dedicated box that you could just attach to the camera (or camera mount). Obviously you'd also need some method of logging the data, and syncing it to the video later (although from skimming the docs, it looks like the latter function is already in the software).

I put the words "ionising radiation" in specifically to avoid this kind of well, actually.

Almost none of the sunlight that gets through the air is ionising, and yet despite the biological defences aimed specifically at what remains, sunlight still gives us cancers in the exposed areas.
I always wondered what tech/programming was behind the notification boards on trains and in train stations. Do each station custom build their own solution, or is there a company who provides this to TFL/UK stations?

There's a couple of pubs in London (specifically close to underground stations) which have a notification boards above the bar for the next trains coming in and peering behind the notification display I see a Raspberry Pi dangling...

> databases are an example

Yes, it is possible because programmers have accepted the bargain that they must write purely-functional SQL.

Then the db is able to decide how best to optimise/apply/retry/copy-on-write/abort as necessary.

If SQL allowed you to directly mutate things, it would break everything. You couldn't 'LIMIT 10' if your loop might want to increment some data in row 40082.
> Websockets require a central broker to pass messages through when you scale past one process

I believe that this is one of the big advantages of SSE vs. WebSockets. Unlike websockets, an SSE connection is just an HTTP request, just one that has a particular format and is conventionally long-lived. You don't need a broker and you can probably implement it yourself on top of whatever HTTP server library that you're already using. And it already contains functionality for dealing with network unreliability [1].

I've often thought that it would be really good to have better support for SSE in HTTP caching HTTP proxies. Then you could have nginx for example sitting infront of your SSE endpoints serving multiple clients with a single SSE stream to your backend. Just based on the caching headers and a little knowledge of `Last-Event-ID`.

[1]: You can encode any state you require to resume the connection into Last-Event-ID.

I wonder how that classifier works. Is it also possible the original Voicebox output includes some kind of watermark, perhaps?
The funnest part of outputting JSON from the query is that your API now basically becomes a RPC, as you don't have to do any marshalling/deserialization before returning the response with Content-Type application/json

Response times are really fast like that, as you probably already know. Always fun to see <10ms round trips in the browser network tab on some requests

Also no worry about n+1 queries, as they're fundamentally impossible to do like that
What you wrote is naive. I dont think AI will ever be able to guess what correct output for arbitrary inputs should look like, just based on examples. You need to specify an algorithm that produces the correct output for all inputs. AI could be able to optimize that, but not fill in gaps in the definition of the goal.

This is a great example of Computer Science is not about Computers.
Cards were often numbered for finished programs, but during development any change or refactoring would invalidate the numbers and the diagonal lines drawn on the side of a deck of cards. Some of the larger comp centers had data processing equipment that would number a stack of cards by punching the card number in the reserved columns 73-80. Card sorters could then sort a mixed up deck using a radix sort in a few passes. See my nearby comments.

> Exchanging certificates once a year is... kinda ridiculous in almost every scenario except the one Google envisions when it dictates the Internet, yes.

The thing is, if you're doing it right it should not take longer than 5 minutes. It forces people to actually invest in good infrastructure practices rather than build brittle shit that collapses at the first blow. And most of the "enterprise" stuff you're talking squarely fits into that category.

As said I'm happy for anything that aims to prevent ossification, simply because how often I have heard the lines "why invest into something proper when a thrown-together hack lasts us just the same" or "why replace that old Cisco firewall box if it ain't broken yet".
Microsoft is beyond evil. The stuff they do in third world countries is like cold war CIA lite.

In Argentina, Microsoft bribed their way into having power of police.

If you are a company here, any day you can get a email from Microsoft compelling you to provide them an inventory of your software under the pain of being raided by the police to get audited if you don’t comply, or you just may get raided if they suspect you are using illegitimate copies of their software.

Yes, Microsoft can kick down your door and check your computers.

We are a software shop in a small city in Argentina and at some point we made a blip in their radar because we won a technology exporter award of our city.

Our prize was an email from Microsoft like I described before.

They didn’t get a dime because all our desktops and servers were Linux, but they did try. They had the gall of pitching Microsoft Teams in their threatening emails. It was surreal.

> Commit to getting something done every day. [...] Stay as late as you have to in order to finish.

This is a really good tip. I find external commitment works better for this. If I commit to self, there is a chance I might flake out at the end of the day (due to being tired or lazy after lunch/dinner), but if I make the promise to an external "authority" I don't seem to "get tired" after dinner and I'll push through until the day's task get shipped. You would think the next day you'll be tired because I worked until late, but I noticed the opposite—I'm feeling more energized because of the momentum of having shipped something.

For the last couple of months, my friend and I have been exchanging progress reports on our work (we're both writing) and it seems to help with productivity. Once in a while I'll flake out and be like "sorry, I've failed and I will miss this deadline" but most of the time it works.

But it's a fine line between "pushing yourself" through the difficult uphills once in a while, and pushing yourself all the time getting burned out... I've been writing/coding for many years, and I still can't quite tell the difference.

> But really, I don't want an ugly phone because someone decided batteries should be user replaceable like in the old days. And yes, I like my iPhone to be sleek.

I don't know about ugly, but my galaxy s5 with a replaceable battery was barely thicker than an iphone 14 without one: 8.1 mm vs 7.8 mm, according to wikipedia. The difference is actually bigger between the 14 and the 7, so even without removable batteries, iphones are getting thicker.

The GS5 was also IP67 certified, and, indeed, it had no issues under heavy rain attached to my motorcycle handlebars, during multiple long trips.

I strongly doubt that having a removable cover would noticeably alter the phone's looks or thickness.

Defunkt makes it sound like it was a choice and they were a steward ... bs. If Google had a better offer, it would have been done.

Google not buying GH was a horribly foolish mistake. Mistake is the wrong word. Blunder? It has zero to do with the tech and everything to do with access to developers. I know how it played out, the Google folks were like, this is just hosted git, we could build that in a year if we wanted to. Completely ignoring that something like 20% of developers have an account there.

Almost nothing is a technology play, at acquisition time you are selling markets and audiences. I am amazed that GH hasn't capitalized more on the conveyor belt between GH and Azure.
Depends who you ask. Literally, yes, it is extremely highly processed: separating wheat grains from the seed pod, then turning them into a fine powder, then combining with water, yeast, and oil (which is itself a processed food, mechanically processing some seeds) then fermenting it, adding salt, adding other processed ingredients on top (mechanically processed tomatoes, cheese obtained by fermenting milk, often cured meats etc), finally baking the whole thing.

This is one of the problems of this idea of processed foods - many things which don't actually seem to be a significant problem are in fact highly processed, we just don't tend to think of them like that.
In this case, you are the senior that needs to bypass the ORM and just use whatever raw parameterized query support exists in your ORM of choice.
