Most of our services use the same base image and some of them run in the same host.

The main thing to watch out for is that the steady state disk usage is different from the worst case. During upgrades the amount of disk used can balloon up for a little while, and these sorts of transient costs tend to mess with people’s ability to do capacity planning properly.

So there’s a law of diminishing returns for pushing things out of your images into a common base. The more you do the larger the over/under gets. Spend a good bit of energy in shrinking the base image, not just growing it, and you’ll be okay.

i don't think 1 or 2 beers per day would be better than none. i think everyone would get their 2 beers even if they don't drink. so they can give them to others or use them for currency.
In other words this just seems short sighted on reddit's part.
tl;dr version, as reported by Fox News: Scientist Proves Shorter Adults in [Country] are Evil!
Yes, the original claim is wildly ahistorical. I seriously think that one of Microsoft's key innovations that made it successful was the idea that software should be paid for, not shared, and this should be enforced by law.
kbin.social and lemmy.world are starting to get traction in the "fediverse". I think they're probably far more viable long term solutions to the reddit problem. That would never have been needed if Reddit didn't insist on shooting their own foot.
Well the intelligence community certainly is feeling snubbed.
That's not really the point, the point is no one markets an app by opening with its faults.

At least two former OceanGate employees years

That is certainly not good.

It's difficult for me to judge how bad, because I don't know what level of dissent is "normal" for an extreme engineering challenge like this, nor the competency/experience of the employees expressing that dissent.

This is by no means a defense of this company's actions. Clearly, it seems they have erred in a deadly way and have blood on their hands.

Yikes.
> It is an indictment of American universities that despite having the funding, resources and technology to do this a lot earlier, it was eventually a 3rd world country that pulled it off.

I don't understand why this needs to so adversarial but for what it's worth, American universities do already provide videos. You mentioned OCW, but EdX does so too, Berkeley did what NPTEL is doing a decade ago. Many universities do so piecemeal.

Remember, that if an entity is a nonprofit, that entity still needs to raise money from somewhere. It needs to show statistics about how impactful its efforts are.

The main reason why there isn't more of this is because its educational value as far as we can tell is marginal, pretty close to zero, at best.

For example, if a course already exists on OCW, the value of having another course from another university seems very low. Why would someone pay for another archive of a course at another university?

Then there are the completion statistics. They show that virtually no one completes MOOCs. OCW and EdX numbers show the same. It's hard to find anyone to give money to these programs.

Now, we might be measuring the wrong thing. In the US if you want to study something you will definitely find a university to do it. It could be that there is great value when the baseline you're comparing to is Nigeria. That's just not what US or EU universities look at in terms of numbers. How could they and who would they pitch this to for funding?

It's extremely expensive to keep a video archive like this up to date. NPTEL videos contain what in the US would be considered copyright violations on their slides. You cannot imagine how much effort OCW has to go into to avoid this. You simply couldn't do what NPTEL is doing in the US. For what it's worth, I think we should relax IP laws, but it is what it is.

I'll say this for the NPTEL archive. The quality is extremely variable. From a few really good courses, to a lot of rather poor ones, to things like the "Modern Computer Vision" course recorded in 2022 that was "modern" in maybe 2013-2014.

Also for educational value, I agree with the US numbers. If you look at the most popular youtube videos called out in the article, they're not like the NPTEL archive. Dry courses presented in textbook order. They're much more interactive, much deeper dives, that slowly walk you over some piece of material from different points of view. More like Khan academy than OCW.
For the readers silently dismissing the idea of racism being the problem, read this[1] about George Floyd. In a different world he would've been the heir of a family who owned a tobacco farm, not someone who grew up poor and harassed by cops.

If you don't have a lot of projects, it may be better to transfer them into a newly registered organization because that doesn't require a temporary drop of the namespace. Either way, you'll break the redirect, but that's better than being vulnerable to impersonation IMO.
Not really, but the single file component (SFC) patterns I liked so much in Svelte when I first looked at it are now in Vue: https://vuejs.org/api/sfc-css-features.html#scoped-css

If it's a couple folks and you work well together and you want to use Svelte, I'd use svelte. If it's a larger team or a large project that will be iterated on for quite a while, probably Vue. I like Vue quite a lot more than React at this point.
Great site. Some feedback:

* Main search (bottom center, not top right) taking over the screen when you click on desktop is terrible ux

* Should support some fuzzy search or misspelling tolerance, e.g. Cuzco for Cusco

* Valencia, Spain gives a 500 error

* No keyboard bindings when searching to navigate up/down between the matching results (e.g. type in 'Valencia' and I expect I can use the down key to choose which of the three results)
They should definitely be paid for that.

But reddit was working just fine in 2017, when they had less than 200 employees (compared to their pandemic hiring from 700 up to 2000) and it was working fine at smaller numbers before then. Right now their revenue is about half a billion dollars. They take in more than enough money to run the site and have stupendous profits.
Interesting, I'm _extremely_ happy with Github Actions. But I have pretty basic needs, admittedly.

You mention buildkite as something you think is a lot better than GH Actions. I'm curious if you've also used the Gitlab equivalent and can compare (I haven't, really).
Maybe the issue is that the real world is highly complex, and people have a hard time coming to grips with that complexity?

For example, this post starts of with the subject of vaccine safety and efficacy, but what would it take to have an actual expert-level discussion of the issue? Consider: the mammalian immune system is almost ridiculously complex, consisting of a variety of subsystems which interact with each other and which is still not completely understood (e.g. nervous system - immune system interactions are probably important but are still poorly understood).

Vaccination is an attempt to train this system to recognize a particular foreign invader without actually having to get infected with a dangerous pathogen. Pretending such efforts can't go wrong or lead to unintended reactions can be categorized as disinformation, I think.

What I'd expect from a vaccine expert is knowledge of the top ten most successful vaccination efforts and the ten greatest failures of vaccination efforts, including a detailed understanding of what went right and what went wrong in each case - as well as comprehensive understanding of the current state-of-knowledge in the immunology field. A lack of major conflict-of-interest associations with either the pharmaceutical (vaccine defender) or the class-action-lawsuit (vaccine opponent) sectors would also be encouraging.

Incidentally, the post claims Covid vaccines are safe and effective, but it does seem that at least later mutations of the virus allowed it to happily infect and be transmitted by vaccinated individuals, with the caveat that the severity of symptoms seems to have been reduced - but good luck getting anyone to comprehensively discuss this from a pure science perspective, let alone the highly contentious issue of the severity and frequency of undesirable side effects (which appear fairly low, but data seems restricted on the clinical trials, leading to uncertainties).
No, the rate on your mortgage is fixed for two or five years — after that, you’ll go onto a floating rate. At which point you should remortgage into another fixed rate, but enough people suffer from inertia that they don’t.

This story is weird to me

Considering the current geopolitical weather and the presence of Russian submarines, you'd think the US army would be able to locate the missing object in no time, even with a triangulated location, they failed

Worrying times
According to [1] in Q1 2023 Facebook had revenue of $48.85 from the average US/Canada user, and $9.62 per user worldwide.

Reddit, on the other hand, makes <$1 per user worldwide.

So, a reasonable price would be somewhere between $4 and $200 per year

Clearly we're in agreeance about this, but you don't need to say everything you think. "Homeopathy is bullshit" might be true, but it's not going to convince anyone so in that sense it's a pointless statement. I was wrong to put it like that in a public space with about a 100 people. I do think it's a topic that should be discussable, in reasonably polite and respectful ways, and my main gripe was that any criticism had essentially been declared forbidden.

You can also insert unicode using XCompose (WinCompose on windows). The benefit is that this ability carries to other applications as well, which is pretty nice. I for one like to communicate about math over text channels like discord.

How is this feature different from just posting to /u/myusername? Maybe this is just a cleanup of duplicate features?
I strongly suspect this effect is correlated with a weakness in short-term or working memory. Independent of general intelligence is the necessity for those with a weak short-term or working memory to compensate by relying on long-term, in depth understanding in order to JIT the necessary short-term structures into being on the spot, (often repeatedly as these images decay rapidly) in order to solve a problem. Whereas those with a short-term memory advantage can simply rely on memorized sets of arbitrary relationships to address the problem.

In other words if you have a weak short-term or working memory you have to, by necessity, deeply think through everything - whether simple or complex. This may allow spotting the rare inconsistency or opportunity others may not, but as it comes at a performance and time penalty which, under circumstances commonly encountered in one's educational career (timed examinations) it more typically results in filtering such people out of fields where excursive, highly lateral modes of thinking would be beneficial.

To survive this filter one must either acquire (or be gifted with) the talent of exceptionally swift traversal of a large and heterogeneous general knowledge graph, as one cannot rely on a handful of tightly knit but relatively isolated silos of memorized specialization.
Which begs the question why there were no additional safety measures put in place after so many "skin of the teeth" trips making it back.

IMHO this was a get rich scheme the two founders spun up that went sideways. They spent the absolute minimum on safety and repeatedly cut corners on the sub in order to get it up and running, then charged people a ton of money to take a trip down deeper than the sub was clearly capable of going.
Reddit asked ~2M$ per month. In his rant Apollo creator told that he‘ll be ok paying half of that. Can you imagine how much is he making on free Reddit APIs?

Why has this sub been so hard to find?

I keep seeing reports that they've search an area "the size of" Massachusetts or Connecticut. Shouldn't OceanGate have recorded the exact coordinates where it was released and then been able to localize its possible location to a small area around that by modeling ocean currents or something? My understanding the Titan was designed to sink to the bottom and could only move very slowly under its own power. I know OceanGate was cocky and cut a lot of corners, but I just can't believe they wouldn't have the exact release location recorded somewhere, even if it was just an automatic track log on their ship's GPS navigation system.
The ones I was in, asked what to do ON reddit, and I personally saw subreddits vote to go private.

It would depend on the subreddit. r/stoicism (aka r/bro-icism ;) ) seemed very unimpressed and self-involved, and didn't see how the concept of 'virtue' entered into it. r/datingoverfifty overwhelmingly sided with its mods, in part because that subreddit was so actively moderated that women over fifty could post there without getting harassed, and scam artists were quickly run off by the mods. As such, that subreddit had experienced moderation as a positive force and trusted its mods' opinions, and its mods were repeatedly in touch with the subreddit explaining what they wanted to do and why, and asking whether they had user support.

Looks like we saw different experiences, is all I'll say.

Yeah, the fundamental problem here is social medias ought to be a protocol, not a platform.

Something where ownership of the content and the virtual space is democratized or at least actually owned by someone in particular while still maintaining the capability to CDN the content.

This way you can still curate and you can still scale, but you also aren't held to the whims of whatever person or parent corporation owns the whole space behind the scenes.
When I was doing my CS degree I was watching youtube lectures in Hindi(I don't speak Hindi) and following along with what was on the board. I did my degree just before the wave of Indian teachers in English was a thing. Respect to these people.
Because it still doesn't provide enough time to verify or refute any claims being made, especially when one sides strategy is to make a barrage of claims to trip up the other for as long as possible. If most people saw the use of that tactic as a clear sign of weak arguments and question dodging, it wouldn't be such a silly thing because it would server to expose that. But it turns out that kind of thing is a form of entertainment for many people and they like to watch their guy "win" against the other. That's a problem on both sides, but objectively a far more dangerous problem with the topics the right decides to utilize the tactic with.
What's the hardware/OS stack you have for the autonomous part? Can you go wild and use unsupported software as long as it fits in the official hardware?

And ChatGPT will write all of this up https://www.reddit.com/r/UsbCHardware/comments/14fupdk/dock_... for you. Absolutely. I can see that happening. Even the opening of it which is just a recital of various standards, well compare to https://chat.openai.com/share/bbb32735-26c7-48c7-9293-a33020... this. It says "If your USB-C port supports DisplayPort Alt Mode or HDMI Alt Mode" we know it does not support HDMI alt mode because that's a paper only standard, there were never any implementations of it and the HDMI Forum this January killed it. ChatGPT didn't mention HBR2, HBR3, DSC, MST all of which are vital to understand the problem.

I am mentioning this only because I wrote this today and even as someone as knowledgeable about USB C as anyone possibly can, there are big unknowns here and automated aggregation of knowledge could help. But it doesn't.

But you know what, I actually asked ChatGPT for this, it recommends a dual monitor DisplayLink (!!) dock for this case. Complete trash. It concludes with "on such cases, it's recommended to consult with a hardware specialist" without telling you how to do that.

But let's not tout my own horn. I just moved to Malta and I already knew the selection will be low and I will need to shop all over the EU and get the packages sent with a package forwarder. Now, the /r/malta sub recommends shipmybox and shiplowcost both of which are Malta destination only, focused on this special market, reliable and relatively cheap -- and near impossible to find via Googling. ChatGPT recommends shipito, myus and forward2me all of which are global companies. It's not much better than Googling especially given the forward2me reviews on ... guess what, Reddit.

When I ask ChatGPT about that it says "Forward2Me has generally received positive reviews and is considered a reliable package forwarding service" but https://www.reddit.com/r/amiibo/comments/xzlnsh/does_anyone_... https://www.reddit.com/r/internationalshopper/comments/ucww6... there are worrying reviews

I wonder if REO Speedwagon explains at least some of the driving force behind conspiracy theories (and maybe misinformation in general).

But I know the neighborhood
And talk is cheaper when the story is good
And the tales grow taller on down the line
(from "Take It On The Run")

A conspiracy theory doesn't have to be true. It just has to be a good story (in the above sense - a story that people find interesting enough to repeat, maybe with embellishments). People will favor repeating something interesting over repeating something boring. For a story to spread, the interest matters more than the truth.

So maybe the bottom line question is: How do we make the truth into a good, interesting story, without making it less true?

Note well: I am not advocating for the "New Yorker" style of journalism, where you tell about the discoverer's childhood, and what they had for breakfast, and what the weather was on the day that they discovered something. That's not a good story, it's just a long, tedious one.

I'm reading the transcripts of this, and I do find it interesting. Linear presentation of transcripts makes it hard to follow sometimes but these are good enough that I was able to follow mostly without issue. I think, to be completely honest, this right here is the summary of the problem with education in the United States:

>Who thinks about that? I don’t know how to teach a child how to read, so I just assumed that the children I sent to school would come back to me literate. Cause that’s what school does, right?

Parents, even well meaning ones, just not digging into what it is there kids are doing in the classrooms, not really investing in learning on a high level how the kids are learning and its effectiveness.

If more parents cared about that, I think we'd have way better schools on the whole
>There will always be people who just want to show up in a space and act like an asshole, then cry "censorship" when they are asked to leave.

Who is an asshole is an opinion. And no one likes being censored. One man's hate speech is another man's basic truism. It's why there is no federal law in America against "hate speech" because there's no objective way to classify it. Your disdain for people who disagree with you says nothing about them and a great deal about you.
Oh that sounds cool, thanks
Svelte rocks!!!

I'd recommend it to anyone who is focused on actually just shipping UI and making progress (not bike shedding or wasting time, you know who I'm talking about lol).

It is a nice paradigm that lets devs focus on just writing HTML, CSS, and JS with a little bit of teeny tiny magic (it is actually easy to understand). That's it.
