I would argue that you really did learn the Unix way with FreeBSD.
Uber was also amazing for travelers. No need to worry about the taxi driver looping around the city to run up the meter just because you aren’t from there.

True that crashes were more frequent and annoying. However, that’s not what I was talking about. While it worked, the UX felt responsive. Moving the mouse around clicking things, opening files and folders, dragging stuff, scrolling, window switching, even the clicks felt responsive. These days the whole thing feels like “smooth” in a bad slow way. As if every action spends a good 20% of time first doing some animation and then doing what you really intended.
> Booking isn’t perfect but it is definitely my go to for travel accommodations.

Definitely keep an eye on your transactions, I had an additional fraud $1500 transaction from Booking.com Netherlands shortly after I booked a stay in Norway.

I reported it to my credit card and all was fine but there are probably some bad apples working at Booking.com.
It's horrible when companies choose to exert their agency.

A well-designed webpage degrades gracefully and is still usable without JS. There are plenty of badly-designed websites that don't do this, of course. I just don't go back to those.

I can’t imagine even worse insulation than a normal oven. Whenever I open my broiler door and pull out the drawer I can see the kitchen floor getting the 500* blast straight on.
It’s not even worth trying with these climate people. They are a cult who can’t see facts that don’t support their arguments.

Bitcoin uses electricity, yes. But it is far more efficient than the global banking system. People forget that buildings cost, infrastructure to those building cost, the people needed to run banks cost, and yes the masses amount of computing the banking industry cost. The energy used just by the cars on the employees to the banking system probably dwarfs the total energy use of Bitcoin. (Car production plus electricity or gas)

The issue with Bitcoin is it is easy to reason about its energy usage, while the “banking systems” is so nebulous it’s hard to think about the total resources it needs to exist and run. Ans the climate folks have hyper focus or perhaps tiny brains that can’t handle much more than a child’s approach to reasoning.
Yep, "authn" is good because it sounds like the first two syllables of "auth-en-ti-ca-tion".

I now agree with you that "autho" would have been better for the same reason. Although "authz" sounds cooler :)
Arent VPS cpus usually clocked pretty low? Also if you are sharing the cpu with another intensive service, the cache will miss a lot.

No, you just have to fallow the land (plant nothing) - as far as I know.

The latter is done for some products in various ways but that's a more fine-grained solution (which destroys poor countries agriculture entirely, which is another horror story).

I do think it would be very useful to have an online tool that lets you paste in your requirements.txt and then tells you which of the libraries have been recently verified to work properly with PyPy without a lot of additional fuss.

Also, you might want to flag the libraries that technically "work" but still require an extremely long and involved build process. For example, I recently started the process of installing Pandas with pip in a PyPy venv and it was stuck on `Getting requirements to build wheel ...` for a very long time, like 20+ minutes.
Most games, when I come back to them after years, I restart with a fresh save file. Usually you can power through quite a lot of it at a reasonable speed, and the bits you can't are the bits you needed to brush up on anyway.
Even local refreshes however are somehow rectangle-based, no?

Which means that the resetting operation kinda works globally anyways, masking out everything between the xmin, xmax and ymin, ymax.

I'm really speculating here, but this was my impression every time I saw individual areas changing without a gobal refresh.
If you're renting property at a rate that would amortize after 12 months if you'd purchase instead, I suggest you do that – it shouldn't be hard to find a one-year mortgage ;)

I think query builders can be very helpful in a language with a good type system. The only times I haven't used raw SQL and didn't feel like it was a massive mistake were when using Scala, via Slick and Quill.
Of course there isn't. It's all elisp under the hood. Realize though that you started with vanilla and moved to Spacemacs. Most people are going to do it the other way around. Start with Spacemacs and you're guaranteeing yourself a rough time, because you won't have the understanding of vanilla you need in order to customize it. I wound up dumping both Spacemacs and Doom once I finished reading Mastering Emacs. I may move back in the future but for now I'm much happier with a simpler system.
Got injured (brain). Airbnb and Uber eats is how I kept my family from being homeless until I recovered enough to program again.

EPD displays aren't magically paper-like; in fact they are far from looking like actual paper. There's either plastic or glass in front, and they give the same glare as any other matte or glossy display. If anything, active lighting (either backlight or frontlight) helps mitigate glares, shadows, and other external lighting non-uniformities.
Was that for a particular "kind" ot man?

Because I can't help but note that in North America that there were plenty of people who couldn't do so but were of the "undesirable classes"....

And the reason those who could afford such were able was because they were effectively standing on the backs of those "less privileged".

Afaict, even when it's not racial such things still existed in most places at the time.
Ignoring the “pen dropping” strawman, how far does that trust go within the government?

Here's a (my own) lightweight alternative, built using django & no javascript: https://gitlab.com/sodimel/share-links

It allows you to store links (title & language of the page, a pdf of the page, assign tags, to include them in collections), it has a very simple (moderated) comment system, set status of the link (online: direct link, offline: replace link by a webarchive one) a lightweight ui (remember: no js), multi-accounts (permissions), translations, some rudimentary stats and some other things (access a random page!).

See my own instance for an example with thousands of links: https://links.l3m.in/
An anecdote...

Bought a Sony receiver around June 2021. The thing has barely had time to get dusty and its never been over ~20W. It's already dead, or dying at least. The power supply caps are bad and it power cycles itself when it tries to drive the speakers.

It's not a high end model; I'm not an audiophile trying to get 0.001% THD at 10KWs. But lunching itself 25 months into a 24 month warranty... wtf.
Yup. These morons also ride on the greenway, a bike and pedestrian path, on gas powered scooters weighing hundreds of pounds to do deliveries. They also ride the larger gas and e-scooters in bike lanes. Sidewalk riding is infuriating as they have plenty of street by me but nah, sidewalk it is! I was almost hit from behind walking home from the store on a sidewalk after some dick rode up from behind me on a big e-scooter - you cant hear them coming. And never mind the number of near misses Ive witnessed from complete disregard of anyone's safety. Cops don't care at all. I mean all the illegally plated cars and out of control street racing is also ignored so whatever. Fuck the pedestrians and cyclists - motorists rule the pavement regardless the number of wheels.

Solutions cant be talked about until the morons in city hall start giving a shit and doing something about the useless cops.
When will docker version arrive?
I actually donated to the Pypy project in the past but I don’t use it.

Two reasons for my hesitation:

1) Cpython is fast enough for most things I need to do. The speed improvement from Pypy is either not enough or not necessary.

2) Lingering doubts about subtle incompatibility (in terms of library support) that I might have to spend hours getting to the bottom of.

I already work long hours and don’t have bandwidth to tinker. With Cpython, although slow, I can be assured is the standard surface that everyone targets, and I can google solutions for.

It’s the subtle things that i waste a lot of time on. It’s analogous to an Ubuntu user trying to use Red Hat. They’re both Linuxes but the way things are done are different enough that they trip you up.

The only way to get out of this quandary is for Pypy to be a first class citizen. Guido will never endorse this so this means a bunch of us will always have hesitation putting it into production systems.
I imagine there are hundreds fewer drunk driving deaths due to Uber, too.
> I will never forget the sight of him carrying something heavy up those stairs...

Oh man, absolutely. I still have a vivid memory of moving out of a 5 floor walk-up with a narrow stairwell and as I was walking back into the building out comes the guy bear hugging my Fender Rhodes electric piano. It's gotta be around 150 pounds and very bulky. He was walking like it was nothing.

Pinecone makes it super easy to get up and running with RAG asap. Those prices are ridiculous though and any project with legitimate scale will move on to a more affordable solution.
BHP says battery electric cheaper than hydrogen

Well, duh. Hydrogen is just a (terrible) liquid battery you have to re-manufacture every time you discharge it. You lose a third of the energy making the hydrogen, another quarter moving it around, and then half of it converting from hydrogen to electricity.

I've had instances where I've extended my stay, and they've found me a cheaper room. However, calling the hotel itself prior to booking has always resulted in higher or identical prices.

It's anecdotal, but I've not personally found it to be worth the extra hassle.

I've certainly seen that sort of thing¹, but not nearly on “almost every posting”. It is likely to vary between locations, so perhaps OP has been lucky and only used the service for places where it is rare.

Airbnb is supposed to have a $1m host guarantee, so a security deposit cannot be justified by the host.
Yep. I work in an entire office of engineers with only Macs (mostly ARM ones now) and I only have a Mac at home, besides a very old ThinkPad running Ubuntu. (Aside from FFXIV on MacOS, I've moved any gaming to PS5 and Switch.)

I haven't actively used Windows since 2008. It's such an obnoxious OS to use, and I have never seen a Windows laptop with quality in the same zip code as a Mac. There's always a terrible touch pad, keyboard flex, plasticky trash fit and finish, mediocre display or something that just ruins the whole thing.

I agree Facebook answering any subpoena is legal for Facebook. Facebook doesn't get to argue the validity of the subpoena. That is the job of the defendant.

Exactly I'm not sure of your point. If an organization gets a subpoena they turn over what they know. If they don't know they can't hand it over.

I don't think you are making the opposite point but I will try to be open minded. From my perspective we agree.
This is so relatable. I was looking forward to working on projects that I cared about more, but then when I got there I realized how much energy actually caring takes.

Especially in terms of emotional investment - I've decided to save my passion more for personal projects instead of spending it all where it won't necessarily go anywhere.
We focus on "selling" the market size, customer problem-solution fit and not so much the AI part. AI is just the means to an end, a better way to solve the problem that we are solving. I saw some interesting stats the other day that the majority of investments in AI focus on infrastructure (databases etc) and foundational models.

> E-bikes are grey area vehicles.

No, they aren’t, in most US jurisdictions, which have specific rules for motorized bicycles (and often distinct rules for electric one.)

> If you have a motor on your vehicle it’s a motorized vehicle and needs to be registered and plated, driven on the road, given tickets like any other vehicle.

The fact that you don’t like the specific rules for e-bikes doesn’t make them a “gray area”.
Most of Russia's territory has hostile, cold weather. It has a ton of resources but also a ton of problems which explains its low population for the size of the territory. China is a closer comparison and no wonder it grew so quickly in the past decades.
A slightly deeper look into vector storage, and the things you can do with embeddings: https://maven.com/blog/embeddings
Eh, I've always defined "edge" as the closest piece of compute infra to your client. Could be a VM, a load balancer, an API gateway, a service worker, whatever. Arguing it's part of your CDN is just letting Cloudflare's marketing department coopt the term.
If the update was truly pixel based there should be no ghosting/artifact whatsoever.
Looks like global refreshes or cleanup are still relevant, while ideally each pixel could be completely independent.

Trade-offs are a problem, but in this case i don't see any physical reason for this to be a theoretical trade-off. More like a limit of the current technology.
The practical issues are unrelated to whether or not the two are mutually exclusive. In practice, the lack of RDNSS support from the get-go was quite the nuisance. Especially when combined with clients that refused to support the optional DHCPv6 method (e.g. Android/ChromeOS). Even with RDNSS, the feature set is quite limited compared to DHCPv6 but you may have to end up implementing both since there weren't enough incentives for all clients to go the extra mile and support it even if some of your other clients do.

Overall these days, beyond Google products, I think the ecosystem is in a healthy spot now and I think IPv6 chose the right path. It can still be a bit more hassle to manage in the enterprise space though and that's the one that needs to most convincing to migrate at this point.
I mean, sure this is technically a CVE, but this is an iperf server crash... who ever runs a public iperf instance anyway? All usages I have heard of were either on private network, or manually invoked on public network and immediately shut down after the test. Given that iperf has no authentication of any kind, it's pretty crazy to run publicly for a long interval anyway.
Even in that case, your computer is still an arbitrarily-programmable Turing machine; it contains this one hardwired + proprietary component that the remote end is looking to speak to, but that component isn't in control of the system; rather, it's controlled by the system. This just moves the job of deception one target over. Rather than just turning the logic sent by the remote end into a "brain in a vat" fed a false reality by your Cartesian https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evil_demon of a custom OS, you also turn its local emissary, the DRM TPM chip, into another "brain in a vat" fed lies by an enclosing evil-demon hardware platform.

The only way this attack can even be avoided in principle is to restrict distribution of the DRM TPM chip — ala Nintendo's NES CIC lockout chip that never left Nintendo's hands except in the form of finished first-party-assembled game cartridges. But even that only prevents mass production and sale of devices that defeat your DRM; any sufficiently motivated attacker can still buy a legitimate device from you that includes the DRM TPM chip, rip the DRM TPM chip out, and feed it to their evil-demon hardware to enable it to faithfully attest a lie over the network.

In short: if this was truly a practical additional layer of defense, there'd be tons of use-cases for it — game consoles, set-top boxes, kiosk computing (e.g. ATMs), etc.

But you don't see anyone using DRM TPM chips for these systems, because it's not a practical additional layer of defense: such chips would increase BOM for these systems, while only defending against attacks that weaker defenses (namely software DRM, or programmable-firmware DRM like Intel SGX) already defend against; and while not doing anything more to stop the truly motivated attackers than current layers of defense already do — as your Netflix pirate media-scraping bots, your EVE Online gold-farming bots, etc. all have the monetary incentive and capital to invest to build exactly these evil-demon systems.
Does this assume the information is made available, but just not as polished as PR?
I simply switched to Booking.com, for this and other reasons. Booking usually lists deposit in small print.

If booking doesn't have deposit disclosure I usually just tell the staff I can deposit this little cash, take it or leave it, should've declared deposit amount and I will find another hotel + complain to booking customer support. (Not in USA)
What do you want to do with the resultant "extracted" data from said PDFs and Excel files?

The simplistic answer for Excel files is "save as csv"

...but you lose all the formulae in the process

If the formulae are not "important" to you, it's the "right" answer

If the formulae matter ... then there's a much more involved process that's going to vary per file

Do "dig -t AAAA github.com": you'll see they have no AAAA records. No github for you. Why then should anyone else bother unless forced by cost?
This is slightly misleading. "All of science" doesn't rely on intuition-- it relies on the scientific method. Intuition guides how we develop our models but ultimately there _is_ a real forcing function in the sense that the models need to hold up to experiment.

An example of why this matters: string theory. AFAICT It's a field that is built with a clear(ish) intuition and rigorous use of logic, but because it is experimentally unverifiable the field has never really moved past conjecture.

There's a dead comment sibling to this one talking about how group admins can see through the anominity. I don't understand why it is dead. It wasn't even rudely stated. Is it just flat wrong, or did it cross some unknown social boundary by pointing out a fact? Was it edited posthumously?

As previously suggested, w3fdif has mostly been supplanted by bwdif. w3fdif can produce shimmering, whereas yadif does not, which is why bwdif operates like yadif but uses the better field matching of w3fdif.
The best low-end Frigidaire you can get today is around $750.

For $5k you could buy 6.7 of them.

Lowe's extended warranty appears to be 5 years, so I'm guessing these things are designed to last 6 years.

6 * 6.7 = 40.2 years.

My own estimation is that a $5k fridge today will last perhaps 10. And most of that money is going toward smart features that add complexity, which adds to the risk of having to pay for repairs. And it's not like those companies stop using cheapo plastic and styrofoam in their more expensive fridges.

Still, I'd like to know how much it would cost per year in electricity to run one of the old models like in the ad.
