Is it? Having 2 failure points is worse than 1, if the failure points are in series. It's better to have redundancy. You can have redundant DNS (multiple nameservers), but you can't have a redundant registrar (to my knowledge)

I always chose different DNS because registrars normally suck at DNS, feature-wise.
Not a player of it myself, but Path of Exile was pretty popular with my Diablo liking friends during the in between years of Diablo releases.

Not sure how you read that in the graph.

What I read:

model : first reactor -> last reactor
CP0 : 65 months -> 60 months
CP1 : 73 months -> 64 months
CP2: 56 months -> 79 months
P4: 82 months -> 74 months
P'4: 85 months -> 89 months
N4: 151 months -> 104 months

That's 2-3rds of the builds showing a speedup. The results are even more striking if you calculate the correlation between start date and build time for any 2 reactors of the same model.
seems like a recipe for disaster
A lot of small computers during the early days were seen as programmable things. Then it became a user interactive interface more than something to hack on. Maybe the shift of influence between Wozniak and Jobs explains that.
It's fine if you want to refer to Kahneman's classification [1] of instinctual and thorough thinking. Explainability is a separate topic. Also when the amount of energy and compute used are as high as they are.. the results, the return on investment really isn't that high. Hopefully there are better days ahead.

Nice article, but looking at the primary source, what the authors completely forgot to measure or even so much as discuss [0], is the effect of participants physical well-being on performance when under the influence of these drugs.

They solely focus on the patients cardiac profile, I'm assuming for safety as these drugs can raise blood pressure quite a bit. Also, the sample size is strikingly small for a 4 cohort study on the effects of a drug on behavior (n = 30, 17 males, 23 females, but subdivided into 4 groups).

Performance enhancing drugs can have a myriad of effects on physical well being. The amount dispensed to participants was at least for Ritalin strikingly high. 30mg is a dose you get after at least 1-2 months of raising the dosage from 10mg, and that' the _retarded_ pill. If these were unretarded tablets, no doubt the participants must have felt completely wired up. The results look to me as if you drugged a bunch of people, told them to do something and they performed worse, but not much worse, probably because they were complaining of side effects. I know that's a polemic interpretation of the results, but I feel like I'm entitled to it, given the authors one sided discussion.

Allowing sideloading increases the potential for exploits in IOS to be found, that could then exploit other IOS users.

If I had a well designed bank vault I still wouldn't want would-be burglars unrestricted access to probe the lock design which could then be used to exploit other vaults of the same design. In this model, I would put a cage or bars or say, a walled garden around the lock mechanism to prevent unwanted hacking or characterization.
What does it mean for r/startrek to migrate to lemmy, would that just be the moderators? To me it seems like just an outspoken group of people from the subreddit are moving to lemmy, but my guess is most people would prefer to stay on Reddit.
Pretty asinine comparison, unless your argument is that us tax payers should be picking up twitter's unpaid rent.
In these transactions the users are what’s on offer. The least they can do is tell you to whom they just sold you.
> How exactly would allowing a third party operating system on the device negatively impact your user experience?

I'm all for Apple allowing third party operating systems. If some world government wants to force Apple to allow users to install Debian, Android or whatever onto their iPhone hardware, that's great. No downsides. Write the referendum and I'll vote in favour.

As for the more common refrain that developers should be allowed to distribute apps outside Apple's walled garden, that does negatively affect me in three ways:

1. Unless Apple is allowed to make side-loading at least as unfriendly as it is on Android, many apps I use today will stop being distributed through the App Store. Want the Gmail app? Download Play Store for iOS. Want Lightroom? Download Creative Cloud Store for iOS. And suddenly all of these apps are no longer subject to Apple's strict privacy/tracking policies. That sucks.

2. I provide tech help to a dozen family members. I can't control what they do. I've had enough of dealing with Windows XP machines with Comet Cursor and a dozen other bits of malware on them. These days I've moved the worst offenders to iPads and providing them with tech support is no longer a source of tension headaches. No fucking way I'm supporting anything that has even the slightest chance of kinking that armour. It doesn't matter what I say. These people will follow any instruction provided by Google or Epic to install whatever app they've heard about.

3. Maybe I want to develop my own device and I want to write libraries for others to write apps for the device. Why should I support governments forcing device makers to give those libraries away to others and not respect license terms? I'm all for people hacking into devices they own, but if I distribute something with a license, I want my license terms to be respected - just as someone releasing under AGPL wants that license respected.
A train system is embarrassingly parallelized. It’s the equivalent of saying, we want to build 50 data centers in 3 years. It’s a lot, but it’s a lot of independent things that connect together at the end.
“Each metabolic activity or system in the body is interconnected, and [if] you start exercising more, over weeks and months, your body adjusts and starts spending fewer calories on overall tasks and resets back to where it was,” Urlacher says. This energy compensation may explain why simply adding more miles a week can yield fitness and other gains but has little effect on weight. People who exercise also tend to increase caloric intake to compensate for the additional energy expenditure.

damn. turns on its head the common notion exercise is good for weight loss. maybe instead of making exercise predictable and routine, it should be done randomly to prevent this adaptation from occurring?
That should be the default. The onus is on the one arguing for restrictions of user freedom.
Brave Search API
Google has never been a product company. The last and maybe only major product success they have had after search is gmail. Everything else they bought and sold. So I don't know why people are getting shocked now that when they suddenly have to innovate, they are falling behind. Google is great at algorithms and a huge amount of data processing etc but how to turn it into a product is extremely unclear to them.
Estimates are always portrayed as 'business reality' vs. 'software engineering preferences' - in my experience using estimates many times actually impedes businesses from measuring other metrics that are just as valuable or (imo) significantly more valuable than estimates. Those are a) 'full' lead-times for features, the coding bit is only a small bit in the whole process and estimating just this bit doesn't really tell the business much about how much effort, time and money it really takes to release a feature and b) value-created for the user by a new feature. Those are harder to do, but usually worth it
What does that have to do with EVs? It can already happened with ICE vehicles.
Spoiler: no one thinks they should have to pay for software these days.
When I originally brought it up, no one was interested in the idea. It looks like this was introduced about six months after I left (which is about 18 months after I first brought it up), so it looks like they changed their minds.
Squarespace already acted as a reseller/billing provider for Google Workspace, you could buy it through them if you were using Squarespace hosting.

The support doc is saying that if you bought Google Workspace through the Google Domains frontend, paying with the same method you used to buy domains, Squarespace will take over the billing of it in the future.

If you went directly to Google Workspace, signed up, and then linked your domain manually, with separate billing, then Google Workspace will continue to bill you directly.
How so? I deleted my previous accound and they replaced all interactions with "ghost". Deleting all interactions would be going a step too far IMHO since it would destroy documentation of issues, etc, just like public forums usually argue against deleting all posted content when you delete your account.
Yeah this is neat but it is 90% not done and that is being generous.

I think Google knows that BigQuery is their only successful cloud product. Everything that isn't BQ is more at risk of being left to stagnate until it's discontinued.
Everything about io_uring has screamed security nightmare from day 1--the amount of kernel attack surface it opens up, the fact it put little thought into how it interacted with process and privilege boundaries and related overarching models (see, e.g., interactions with setuid and fork/clone), increased opportunity to exploit race conditions, etc. From a pure performance standpoint it's amazing, but it's circumventing a slew of interfaces that were, at least in part, designed to restrict process privilege--more importantly than merely designed, but refined and bug-fixed over decades.

The use of lockless buffers for high throughput IPC works better in microkernel designs. Linux being a monolithic kernel, io_uring is like one, big trap door for exploits.
Use dns at your cloud or webspace provider. Digital ocean offers this. I've used it to point a domain to other servers not connect to digital ocean.
That's also assuming the retarded pill, which is already too much for a first time dosage. If this was unretared, no doubt the patients felt completely wired. And of course, the authors conveniently fail to measure physical well being. Just insane that Science publishes this imo.
I think the lines indicate highly connected/weighted network edges. The weights are inferred from white matter tracts, measured using diffusion MRI. Dots are nodes on the network, highly connected nodes are indicated by a pair of large dots.
> The only place I've ever seen anyone pretend that "open source" can legitimately mean something other than the OSI's definition is on this forum.

I don’t think this is entirely accurate in practice. I talk to businesses, individuals, and enterprises every single day and they all refer to my SAS as open source software. So I don’t think everybody sees OSS like you and OSI wills them to. I’m stepping on toes by saying that, but from my sample size, that’s what I see and hear.

The only places I’ve seen this dogma is here on HN, in GitHub issues about gaslighting [^0], and on r/opensource.

.dev is a Google Registry domain, so they'll have to negotiate with Google to get it in their platform.

But yeah, they are falling behind slowely.
>how to turn it into a product is extremely unclear to them.

What according you takes something to turn an algorithm into a product? Google did try a lot of things, a lot of products but it didn't catch on so they had to shut them down.
Most forums run on xenforo nowadays which is extremely solid and reliable.

The real problem is not with estimation but with the management denial.

I was asked to estimate a project I owned as a “green” lad. I offered 6 months with a real detailed plan and up to a year with some extras. Based on past rates we had etc. I even did some statistical modeling. They disagreed. They decided to alter the approach, that the principal engineer had suggested and “it would take 2-3 months.”

Two years later I learned they were still working to finish it.

Another example: they wanted a Byzantine Fault Tolerance rewrite along with the networking layer. I said we need 6 months. They said we know how it should be done in 1-2 months. I finished my stuff and moved on — they picked couple of people to work on the rest that had said 1-2 months. It took them a year to reach a point they could test it.

Now why did I say 6 above? Because that is a project I have done multiple times, I can do everything in my sleep and the delay beyond all other fundamentals is random interruptions. Did that matter? No.

When top head works with wishful thinking estimates are ways to find scapegoats; nothing more.
I've got a long-grandfathered "free" workspace for a domain that never had Google as the registrar. I don't think there's much concern here -- Squarespace will be (unless they delegate that out) your new registrar and will likely migrate WHOIS and set up the appropriate MX/TXT/... records to keep things working.

Otherwise, Google has documentation for that:

They’re less popular in the hobby world, but the Freescale/NXP i.MX6 family has absolutely fabulous mainline Linux support. There’s still a Freescale tree, but for most functionality you don’t need it. A few years back a client of mine needed some other functionality that wasn’t available in the version that Freescale forked for their tree and they wanted me to come in and assess what it would take to backport the driver they needed or basically make our own fork that forward-ported whatever Freescale mojo was needed.

As it turned out, I spent a couple of hours messing around a bit with some device tree configuration to make it work with the peripherals on their custom carrier and a bit of `make menuconfig`… and it booted right up on Linus’ tree.
I’ve used namecheap for many years and have started using porkbun recently. Both have given me no problems, have reasonable prices and have those features.

Register for an API key, ban people who don't follow the rules. It doesn't need to scale programmatically.
I have the exact the same feeling with Steam vs iPhone, iPad, Vision, or whatever they advertise as the next computer. What SteamOS has is a desktop that allow user to run real browser with proper ad blocker, has a desktop that user can set whatever shortcut the user like, run whatever script to process the user’s file. The next computer doesn’t do those things.
Well yeah, because stimulants raise your confidence level quite a bit. No doubt it worked better. Not that that's a bad thing, it's just an objective side effect of the drug.
They've killed off almost 300.

Rephrasing the sentiments of the article:

• io_uring is quite new, and currently still having some severe security problems.

• Most kernel security bugs, they can mitigate effectively. But their mitigations aren’t fully effective on io_uring.

• Therefore, until the security problems die down or until they can effectively mitigate io_uring security bugs, they’re disabling it, because the security concerns outweigh the performance advantages.
I thought this was $20 a year for hosting, and thought "that's cheap!"

But this is actually $20 a year for a domain, which is about 50-80% more expensive than most other domain hosting, including Google Domains.

They still offer startups money to switch. Last year they offered my company 8 figures to go from AWS to GCP. Of course I said no because… that’s insane and useless. You have to wonder how many companies they are paying to use their subpar tech.
People forget that the history of the Prohibition movement was already 100 years old when it finally won constitutional prohibition in 1919 (and people literally empowered the Italian and Irish mafias to get around it; so empowered we got a President and an US Attorney General out of it). The Whiskey Rebellion started over a tax that was backed by lots of reformer types who wished to leverage a de facto 'sin tax' to control drinking.

People use to drink all the damn time.

My grandfather was a silent generation career man for GE, worked there 40 years, fought in WWII by lying about his age and fought in Korea, raised a family, bought a house, the very type one would venerate as a true adult man... and he drank a lot. He didn't stop drinking until I was 8 or 9 and had suffered a heart attack.

God damn it. Google Domains was my registrar of choice because I figured I wouldn't have to ever think about logistics and their lookup rules. Ah well. I guess I'll see what Squarespace does to the experience. I'd transfer them to Cloudflare, but have similar concerns.
I'm glad you found a consistent source of enjoyable and enriching interactions online.

That said, do not dismiss the need for long-term, in-person friendship. IRL forces you to confront the uncomfortable/mismatched parts of others. In other words, the whole person. It enables you to comfort and support in a way that is impossible online. This is all both uncomfortable and necessary to form the most meaningful and worthwhile relationships, not to mention vital social skills.

The Internet is an incredible tool to connect like-minded people, but it will not bring happiness in the same way the flesh and blood presence of consistently physically present people can.

Then the authors should have lead with the purpose in their abstract and also highlight this fact in their discussion. They choose not to. Instead, their paper is titled "Not so smart?“Smart”drugs increase the level butdecrease the qualityof cognitive effort", with the abstract leading with "The efficacy of pharmaceutical cognitive enhancers in everyday complex tasks remains to be established."

Sorry, but that's just attention grabbing nonsense. Should have said "for people undiagnosed with cognitive impairments".

At least when I was younger I was so perplexed by the kind of co-workers that have apparently chosen the profession of working with estimates from other people but continually work without a "confidence level" associated with each estimate.

("two weeks") means such a different thing in reality from ("two weeks", "confidence of 50%").

It's a tuple, it's always been a tuple, it's just downright silly to accept an estimate without the second half of the information. Like what diviniation is going on in that spreadsheet to communicate to others when it doesn't include half the meaningful information to begin with.
