I frequently prefer in-person shopping too, but inventory control gets ever worse. At this point, I'm shocked if I find anything in stock anywhere... even staple items. I do prefer to support brick-&-mortar businesses, and will pay a bit extra to do so.

>There's no way that could be Watergate-squared. The defining characteristic of Watergate was the audio tapes, so this has to be a reference to the "Bring some Cokes in, please" recording.

I have to disagree. The defining characteristic of Watergate was the illegal (break-ins to steal political opponents' strategies and psychiatrists files) activities by a political organization (CREEP[0]) that were then covered up by those at the highest levels of the executive branch.

The issue wasn't that there were recordings of such a cover up, it was the cover up that was the problem. Unless, of course, you'd like to argue that something isn't illegal/immoral if you don't get caught.

I run Plex on an appletv with the server running on a synology. It’s ok. The subtitles don’t work unless I switch off and on for each show.

Anything over 1080p gets too laggy and it doesn’t buffer.

But I like enough to just download stuff in 720 and watch at that resolution.

> Free CAs like letsencrypt do have rate limits that we would frequently hit with autoscaling environments, CI jobs, and such.

You're expected to design around that. Deploying should never create a new certificate, those should live in secure storage and get deployed when needed.

The main rate limit also doesn't apply to renewals, so you could potentially issue N*50 domain names on your Nth week using Let's Encrypt.

"Renewals are treated specially: they don’t count against your Certificates per Registered Domain limit." - https://letsencrypt.org/docs/rate-limits/

If you need to issue certificates for new domains at a higher rate, you're very likely a large company that can afford to pay some money for any excess certificates you need. Failing over to ZeroSSL (zerossl.com) on rate limiting should be an easy engineering task since both use the ACME API.
There were a bunch, including objective descriptions, day of the week, time of day, and also subjective things like how had life changed recently. Plus things like how long had you been living in the area / driving the vehicle you saw it from if applicable.

Well, obviously going with a more conventional construction would make it easier to come up with a safe design.
But I feel like people are going to take the wrong lesson from this accident.
The thing is, users do care, they just don't understand how to articulate it. The Doherty threshold is real, and it's baked into our physiology as humans.

So it does bother them, it's not 'meh', it's just the status quo. Every once in awhile you run across an application or website that's fast, and it's jarring how much better it feels to use. That's something worth striving for.
When discussing something rationally what matters is the merits of the arguments, not the background of the speaker. Mick West's background as a video game developer don't detract from his arguments. Furthermore, Navy pilot are not assured against dishonesty or error; even US Navy pilots are humans.

Always hard to put these number in perspective.

Here's the one that worries me: Interest payments on the debt are projected to grow to 6.7 percent of GDP in thirty years (right now they're 1.9 percent and Social Security outlays are 4.9 percent).

Deficits are projected to be 10 percent of GDP then, meaning 2/3rds of our borrowing will be done to pay off existing borrowing. That's not good.
I tend to think that Habitat 67 is more successful in all regards.
I agree with you. And I wonder how the working paradigms and, importantly, the tools, got defined as they are. Not a criticism, but the tools that won. In the younger days of interactive computing, there seemed to be an explosion of creativity on how to manipulate, use and present information, in systems like these and others. Then continents arose (Lotus 123, Excel, Visicalc), (Wordstar, Word, etc), Emacs.. Office quantized a lot of domains, I think. It locked us into tools as the standard of productivity tools and human computer interaction patterns. And, the majority of users use these in their productive use of their time.
I had an LCII with a 68030/40Mhz card. It was about the same speed as a 68040/20 midrange Quadra that was released before the first generation 6100/60.

The 6100/60 (PPC 601-60Mhz) was definitely slower with emulated applications.

Besides that, the 68K emulator didn’t emulate the floating point unit in 68040s making it incompatible with higher end applications.

Only the high end 8100/80 was always faster than most 68K macs under emulation. But still high end 68040s were faster running 68K Macs.

But this was largely alleviated with the third party SpeedDoubler extension that was a much better emulator.

This isn’t even to mention the awful emulator performance of the 603 Macs.

But this is the only benchmark I could find between PPC vs x86 for emulation.

On a semi related note: Apple still doesn’t have an answer on the high end when it comes to competing with the fastest x86 PCs + GPUs

You say that everyone knows, but also say "You have to suffer until you build your network and credits enough to pull yourself up."

That's the delusion right there, young naive folks thinking their suffering will pay off.

Because while you say everyone knows, the truth is that discussion is not equal to understanding / internal feeling.

It's only after being chewed up by the machine with no actual payoff do folks come to an understanding, unfortunately.

But until then it's lip service, and folks silently thinking their situation is special / different.

I'm not knocking these folks by the way, I think it's part of the human spirit / condition. That's why I advocate regulation / protections.
For me Jellyfin server just works and is great.

But the Apple TV experience is not really great with the official (still work in progress) or the one that is often recommended but I can't remember the name for at the moment.

As great as the server is, I feel like the apps are where Plex has Jellyfin beat.

Honestly, Mick West reaches hard for any way to debunk everything and his conclusions on certain subjects are just flat out ridiculous.

Ex: Suggesting that what kids saw at the Ariel school sighting were just puppeteers. Those kids are now adult professionals and have stuck to what they saw. Don't take my word, have an open mind and watch the past and recent interviews with them.

> I am now below average intelligence

The very fact you were able to write this post in such an articulate way already puts you ahead of 90% of the population. Have you seen how people write? I've been managing teams and projects in the last 18 years and I can promise you that written communication skills, along with patience to use them, are as important as coding skills, if not more important.

"Intelligence" per se is overrated. Work performance comes from a mix of intelligence, patience, communication skills and persistence. In real life, documentation and traceability (from well commented tickets) are as important as lines of code.

I hope you recover soon to full capacity. Just wanted to let you know that I'm not used to such fluent writing, neither from 17 year old people nor from the average colleague at software companies. You have that on your side.

Furthermore, please sue the idiots if you can.

Wish you a fast recovery!
> Anyway, in the next 20 years, virtually all ICE vehicles need to go away.

Is this actually possible? i.e. are there actually enough resources and production capacity to replace all ICE vehicles on the road in two decades. I remember hearing Elon Musk suggest it'd take about double that.
Well that's why disinformation works so well. You have to explore stolen material even if you think it might be misinformation.

But also military misinformation is so prolific that it even infiltrates public knowledge. Often on purpose. Many people still believe that eating carrots will help you see in the dark. It's definitely true that the vitamins in carrots can help eyesight, but they aren't _that_ good. Good disinformation has a mixture of truth in it for people to latch onto. Just a sprinkling can give something a lot of validity. Should also say something about how you take in information, especially from YouTube university.

There are plenty of VPN users “intersect” never used the command line.

You don't necessarily need to switch off of such a system. But you do need to properly characterize it, rather than having nobel prize winning economists (and crappy news articles like this) get twisted into a pretzel trying to maintain incorrect dogmas about how it works.
It’s stringly-typed type-safety: check if the value has the expected prefix.
I've been thinking about that problem.

I think the publishers (or maybe the universities? or anybody at the center of a community of experts really) should host an API which maps set of CTPH hashes to URL's (or ideally, CID's for use in something like IPFS). The goal would be that anybody (author or otherwise) could attach metadata after publication.

Maybe it's criticism, maybe it's instructions on how to get the included code to run, maybe it's links to related research that occurred after the initial publication...

Suppose you have metadata to attach, you generate CTPH's for the article, pick a subset of them which corresponds with the location you want to anchor your metadata to, and upload the pair to the context aggregator (these would likely be topic-centered, so if it's a biology paper you'd find a biology aggregator).

When people view the paper, they can generate the same CTPH's and query the appropriate aggregator, and they'll get the annotations back which link locations in the article's text to metadata that, for whatever reason, was not included in the original publication.

I want to use CTPH's instead of DOI's or somesuch because they don't require a third party to index the items for you, and they still work even if you have only part of the article (like maybe the rest is hidden by pagination or a paywall). You could do a speech-to-text transcription, annotate it in this way, and somebody else who generated the same transcript could then find your annotations without ever creating an ID for the speech you're annotating.
It might be the case that most small businesses lose money on ads because most small businesses fail in general.
I was paraphrasing. How I actually say it depends on the circumstances and the personality of the one interviewing me.

But you're right, you need to be careful of implying things you don't want to imply. And if you've worked there for more than a year or so, you have to be prepared for the natural followup question "What changed to make the fit no longer good?"

But the key thing is that you aren't being deceptive, you're just giving the most general answer possible. So the followup question is probably not a stumper.

For instance, when I interviewed where I currently work, I gave this response for why I left my prior job, and got the followup question. My response to that was the honest -- but still vague enough -- answer "the company had been acquired, and I found the new management style difficult to excel in."
Vancouver software dev checking-in. I'd say that your assessment is on the optimistic side. Was laid-off 3 months ago, prospects are non-existent, rentals (if they're anything like last time I had to move) are non-existent, and studio condos start at around $500k if they're old. If I'm forced to move when my landlord's mortgage is up for renewal, I have no idea what I'll do.

So ya, seems like a pretty in-coherent policy change. The only way to compete seems to be to just look to other countries.
You're deflecting. What solution would you recommend, since you disapprove of monorepo as a solution to this problem we both agree exists.

If you're not simultaneously updating the code and all it's references (i.e. a monorepo), you will need a version dependency graph system (with integrated with your build system). I'm yet to encounter one such tool that isn't awful to use[1]: monorepos are an improvement when you grow beyond a couple dozen repos. Git submodules aren't a good solution either. If you familiar with a decent tool/workflow that is not "institutionally blind", I'd love to learn more about it.

1. Gradle, Android's "repo", home-grown git-submodule-based build systems.
Maybe smaller. Maybe larger. But that's a big assumption that CBDCs will exist on a broad basis anytime soon (or ever).
Who is this for, exactly? The only way this makes sense, in my eyes, is if you're:

1. Someone who uses VPN very infrequently, likely a couple of times per year while using less than 500GB of traffic, and

2. Someone who doesn't use a VPN to bypass georestrictions, excluding most travelers, and

3. Someone who doesn't mind being classified as a bot

That must be an extremely tiny group of people, right?

Pricing is outrageous for daily VPN users, while your use of datacenter IPs means it's going to be almost useless for evading georestrictions.

Besides, I'm struggling to wrap my head around the concept of a "serverless VPNs". If you're actually spinning up a VPS for each customer then that seems like a very wasteful use of resources for no reason.
Also former Oxbridge attendee, it really isnt a reputation that is fully deserved. Local unis are more than fine. What matters more is your outlook on life, openness and adeptness to exploring yourself, industries and communities - ultimately resulting in mastery of a niche (or niches) and then hopefully wealth. Can Oxbridge facilitate some of this? Sure, but your local uni can too.
The main thing that feels like it could use work is the lack of adequately capable primitives/widgets. Many are plain missing while others are too basic/limited.
>> Almost nobody will also train their own models ...

If the value is in better training data then everyone will train their own models. We should have a goal where we have domain-specific models that make us more efficient, but also constantly train a context-aware model based on individuals. Model composition is the future.

FTX Begins Talks on Reboot Amid Regulatory Crackdown on Crypto Exchanges
Hated him in architecture school. Was assigned the incomprehensible Towards a New Architecture as a first year. Had an argument w/ my professor over The Modular, his 'based on human' measuring system. It's a failure if you present a new system of measurement, but then concede that it doesn't work and you actually need two systems and it's all arbitrary anyway. It really turned me off architecture school.
But there was one project of his that I always return to. La Maison Jaoul. It's a beautiful work in brick, tile, wood and concrete. Lots of texture and color that is often missing in the rest of his work.
It has some big flaws. small spaces, not enough interest in it's environment, but if you think Corb is only white boxes, it's worth a look.

Thank you for your feedback.

Your comment beautifully describes why upvpn exists:
It saves you time and makes it hassle free if you're setting up VPN servers.
> Nope. If it works and it's stupid, it's still stupid.

Successful businesses with successful and profitable products say otherwise.

The fact that stuff gets done means that it's not dumb, at a base level. You may not like it - and a lot of people don't because it removes the need for overengineered, oversmart and other "solutions" when sometimes the best solutions is literally the "stupid" solution.

> Noone is looking down on ORMs because they work, people are looking down on them because they don't work well enough to justify their downsides in most use cases.

A decade of experience in a few companies I've worked at and every company I interview with says otherwise. EF is top notch and removes a large swath of "boilerplate" code and works more than well enough.

I've had much better experiences with something like EF than I have with stored procedures and triggers and other "better" solutions.

> Now are some things that people call "anti-patterns" actually the right thing in certain circumstances? Absolutely.

See? you even admit that "anti-patterns" are the right patterns "in certain circumstances". The only thing you disagree with is how common those circumstances are and for the vast majority of circumstances? ORMs are a lot better than "custom" layers underneath.

Nothing worse than creating a custom way of doing something that's already done. Inserting your own bugs. etc.

Smart programmers don't solve problems that are already solved. I wouldn't create a PDF parser from scratch (outside of learning excercises). I wouldn't create a Word Document parser. XML parser. etc...

Why would I create a data layer management package when I have better things to do with my time that actually adds value to a company?
