I find the cost off putting. But when engaged with a production incident then it’s worth it to me.

And there’s ways to make it more palatable. For example, consider that the cost of delivery compared to my hourly income is still more favorable than a minimum wage worker getting McD or TacoBell, which they do all the time. Shrug.

It’s almost like modern Mac users can’t play games well on their Arm based hardware…but hey let the Linux guys have another scintillating victory……Yotld!
Fair, but I don't think this negates the overall point, that people actually paid for software, and it was usually a one-time fee (often with the choice to pay again later for upgrades, or continue to use the old version forever). The "try before you buy" and expiring nature of shareware was nearly always known at the time of download, before investing time in using the software.
heh, I was half-working on something like this.
The ideal is to have one stack that can pipe

whisper voice input ("hey, could you tell me what alarms I have tomorrow?") ->

LLM command interpretation ("match input query to pre-defined commands and arguments", "LISTALARMS, , , 8, 2, 2023") ->

underlying script ("{'23:00', 'Doctor's Appointment'}") ->

natural re-statement ("re-word this data as an answer to the question xxx", "you have a doctor's appointment tomorrow at 11 o'clock PM") ->

so-vits/tortoise-tts/some TTS plugin

nodes could be fabbed out of single-use .py scripts, and the whole thing could be compiled into a headless script. endless possibilities.
You could implement my_pthread_once pretty easily, though. Should be around 5 lines of C?
So firstly, I agree - browsers should default to https not http if the protocol is not specified. It's a pain that they do http because it means I have to open port 80 and issue a redirect.

That in itself is no big deal, since I usually have port 80 open anyway (for LetsEncrypt support.)

That said, you raise a point I see a lot - your site is too "plain" to need https. Personally I think this argument is outdated.

The key issue with plain sites being HTTP is that -additional- content can be injected into them. In others people might be reading text, or seeing images, that are not what you built.

Advertising, sure. ISPs have fine that, but that's the least problem. What about injecting a political endorsement? What about altering any links to include (not your) affiliate id? Once you start thinking about the value of HTTP sites in this way you start to appreciate the many ways unencrypted sites can be exploited.

Back in the day "amateur" meant better (because the creator had time to do it right) not worse. Being "professional" was code for "you get what you pay for, no more than that".

I encourage all "hobbyist" Web producers to embrace that, to make it excellent, rather than to simply treat it as a "waste of time".
> A defining characteristic of cults is a sense of imminite danger from government or status quo and a willingness to lay down ones life in defense of it.

Is this actually a defining characteristic? I didn’t think cults were defined so narrowly. I understood cults to simply be highly insular groups with extreme views. Like the Flat Earth Society would a cult, though I don’t think they feel imminent danger or are willing to lay down their lives.

Same with the pockets. Every girlfriend I've had has ranted about pockets being non-existant or just fake pockets for decoration, none of them have gone out of their way to buy pants with pockets.
Do you think they took this approach because it wasn’t yet common wisdom in the industry that tons of generated code is a terrible idea, or because they didn’t want to fragment the developer ecosystem by adding a more comprehensive framework above Win32?

I suppose it could’ve been a bit of both.
What happened to the idea of winning because you make a superior product? Why is it necessary to play dirty tricks on your users to win? If a market is that saturated, and product so trivial to build that it's hard to differentiate, maybe don't participate in that market?
Great. I have a disability and jobs I can do are difficult to find. The moral high ground is just a little bit harder to hold when your medical care isn't at stake.
I came across a saying once that proved itself apt after a brief stint working for the government:

Always spell out acronyms upon first use in any discrete communication.

The reason this is so apt in government work is because workers become so familiar with lazily throwing around acronyms that they forget what those letters represent. I've witnessed first hand a person confidently throwing around acronyms as if they knew all about it, only to find out that they knew pretty much nothing about it aside from the letters that comprise the acronym.

In the fine article above, the acronym was clarified upon first use, and so all is well:

"Alliance to foster global collaboration for Universal Scene Description (USD)"
He essentially stole the landlords house by vandalising it in a way that greatly devalues it as a place to live for anyone but himself, then getting it listed as a historic place so that the damage is legally irreversible and the house is sold at auction for a fraction of the previous value. Great that he got to live out his papier mache dreams but make no mistake, he did it at a cost of probably £350000 to other people.

Traceroute is problematic and sometimes lies. Paths aren't always symmetric. Sometimes routers are too busy to answer ICMP. And MPLS/encapsulating/tunneling is opaque.

On the other hand, real world network engineers rely a whole lot on traceroute from their machines and from looking glasses (and mtr is wonderful).
Slackware comes pretty close, too. Yeah, you can use the TUI installer... but Slackware packages are pretty much just tarballs that you could extract directly onto / (plus an extra folder for metadata and post-install scripts). Starting with a bare-minimum Linux install and extracting enough packages one-by-one to get slackpkg working is a fun exercise (one which I've indeed done on everything from various LXC-based budget VPSs to old thin clients with disk space in the hundreds of MB at best).
After getting a popup about it not being secure, I can visit this site just fine in latest Chrome.
If you’re talking about public policy, IMO personal moral opinions have no place. Do you really want the state teaching “personal responsibility”? Even if you did, do you really think they could do it effectively? We have the highest prison population per capita as it is. It’s been tried. Over and over.

Using the idea that millions of people are just morally deficient as public policy is a proven failure. There’s always a reason when millions of people are doing the “wrong” thing, and the job of public policy is to assess the return on investment to society of removing those reasons or otherwise disincentivizing the behavior.

Personal responsibility is a personal lesson that requires personal choices and experiences. It’s not something you can publicly mandate

Technological solutions are far more realistic than effecting a global shift to a plant-based diet. People choose meat, and people in the developing world are consuming more meat as their incomes rise.

Mass-production is something human civilization has proven adept at, and mass-deployment of nuclear power plants and vertical farms requires only that.

> Rich or wealthy people in Germany are considered to be thieves or inherits of something/somebody. Believe it or not but many Germans feel ashamed when being wealthy (or they do not speak about their wealth ever, keep it a secret).

Yay, another thing Germany (post-WWII) got right, in addition to mechanical and electrical engineering and the early use of synthesizers.
Unfounded hype is bad and they're usually low-key trying to gain attention for their failing startups.
Agree with this. Snowflake has best-in-class dev experience and performance for Spark-like workloads (so ETL or unconstrained analytics queries).

It has close to worst-in-class performance as a serving layer.

If you're creating an environment to serve analysts and cached BI tools, you'll have a great time.

If you're trying to drive anything from Snowflake where you care about operations measured in ms or single digit seconds, you'll have a bad time and probably set a lot of money on fire in the process.
I've been wondering more than once if we couldn't improve (larger) offices a lot by distributing power pre-transformed so every computer and every screen wouldn't have to include a transformer.

I also sometimes wonder why these days, when every new lamp is led, why we don't replace most of the dangerous 230V outlets in new houses with 12V and use 230V only for dishwashers, laundry machines, dryers and that kind of stuff.

Is there some kind engineer or hobbyist here who could shoot this idea down for me so it won't bother me for another 3 years?

(I have a couple of years studies in electronics, but not power distribution. I think I understand why backbone networks uses extremely high voltages to reduce losses, but at least for now think it is more a issue over long distances, but I am willing to reconsider.)
At least the man pages.
Eh, laser printers last basically forever. The advent of built-in network cards was the last meaningful technological advancement.

Is cloudflare detecting downtime via their proxy or something? I don't understand how you can pull the plug and have your VPS route not eventually fall over once cf's cache invalidates. Do browsers try both if one server fails?

Transmission losses in DC are higher, so you need a lot more wire. You actually can get off the shelf low voltage lighting, though, but it tends to be high end designer stuff.

>No, we're not. We can't increase consumption indefinitely in a finite environment.

We are nowhere near the limits of the finite environnment. Once we reach those limits, growth will naturally slow and stop, with no activism required.

With that many people, it's even harder to coordinate a unanimous reduction in meat consumption.

Why won't an increase clean energy production alone solve it?

This article is overly negative - if a single use of traceroute offends author ("debugging other people connections"), it does not mean the tool is not useful. I found traceroute to be extremely helpful when debugging the networks I control. It is also pretty good at general troubleshooting of others' websites, as long as you don't expect much. traceroute can tell you if the problem is at your ISP (switch to 3G modem!), or on the backbone (do you have that proxy on the other coast?) or target (just give up).

Additionally, this is demonstratively false - traceroute actually works on the great internet.

> With that information, go ahead and ask yourself if you think anyone, at any network hardware company, has given a shit about implementing TTL Exceeded since the 90s. The answer is obvious: No. Without a doubt, this is not on anyone's priority list.

Nope, just did "traceroute www.yahoo.com" and got 11/13 hops responding.. turns out yahoo direct peers with Verizon, who knew! "google.com" got 8/10 hops responding.. "gekk.info" is badly incomplete, but it did manage to report "dreamhost.com" so I could still make my ISP/backbone/target ISP determination.
Maybe a little too much PFAS on that slippery slope.
At this point, I think most tech companies are a cult. So, on this board, a large number of people should be replying "yes".
Eh, it is not like they are outright lying. when you dig into the specs they do say 24v passive. but when someone says poe I expect 48v 802.3af compatible poe.

I don't know how true it is but I heard horror stories where ubiquiti 24v gear would activate, then fry when hooked to a real poe source. personally I suspect it was a 48v passive source.

I did a quick informal survey of the ui store and it looks like the newest generation(U6) all handles 48v while the prior generation(AC) the pro models were 48v and the lite and long range models were 24v passive.
Most of those libraries are written in C++ or C, which Nim has excellent support for. I've used opencv c++ library with Nim. It's just that opencv is so massive it'd take a lot of work to wrap well, so I haven't yet. Some folks are working on a pure Nim pandas lib too.

In my experience, nmap is a far more useful tool for troubleshooting connectivity than traceroute. Scan a host and see if the port you want is open. If not, then "closed" versus "filtered" versus "host is unreachable" will give you an idea if the issue is the destination program isn't running, the firewall on the target (or possibly elsewhere in between) is blocking things, or the host's not available on the network, either because it's misconfigured, in a different subnet or VLAN or whatever, or shut down.
Interesting. Since the list is sorted, is the insertion still a linear search (O(N)) or now a binary search (O(log(N))? Or did I misunderstand something? Also, why is it not a hash table (almost O(1))?

I'm sort of shocked to find out that these are ordinary rental apartments. They are at market prices, too. I could have sworn that they were designed to be "tiny houses" that sold for, like, $100k? But perhaps I was misinformed and confused with something planned for another area.

My friend did a lot of art for this place.

California is doing some zero-parking-space development, too, and my parents are grousing about that. I mean, it's sort of a dramatic difference: you've got one space per bedroom next door, and then zero spaces. We'll see how it plays out, and whether Culdesac residents impose on neighbors' parking lots.

This is really ambitious, to be so self-contained, and there are a lot of significant businesses invested in space here. You've got a restaurant, a bike repair, the grocery store. Are they subsidized by the landlord? What if they are shuttered, what do you tell the residents?
Could you elaborate on what you mean by me making a "this time it's different" argument, and how it's incongruous with my criticism of socialist governments?

>The observation is solely that you’re asking for something that’s substantially harder than anything else humanity has ever done while handwaving everything else away. That just isn’t good argumentation.

I think mass-production of nuclear reactors and vertical farms (to give a couple of examples) is substantially easier and more realistic than coordinating global caps and reductions in consumptions through mandatory limits on private industries and citizens.
Many IP phones are PoE.

Decriminalization is fine, but there's still no way out for these people. How would one go from living on the street in a state of addiction to happy, housed, and employed? Quality of life is tenuous enough for regular Americans who haven't lost it all before. Climbing back up the hill must seem impossible for those at the bottom. Therefore, there's little motivation to get clean.
For a given wattage, voltage and current can be adjusted (inversely proportional) within reason, but higher current with lower voltage results in some problems: voltage drop (which mostly only matters at long distances, typically negligible within an office) and thicker conductors (double the cross-sectional area for double the current, if memory serves). This is why things like PoE and phantom power for audio are often 48V instead of something lower.

I think continuous integration is pretty terrible compared to what it could be. The problems I see, at least with GutHub Actions and Azure DevOps:

* Generally rebuilds everything from scratch, which get slow on large projects. Reducing overbuilding requires lots of manual work.
* Hard to test, often you have to push a commit.
* No flakey test detection and management.

There are some companies working on productionizing Bazel-based CI systems, like BuildBuddy, but there might be other ways of approaching this problem.

I would say I am in both worlds. Not too excited about a lot developments in computer tech, but mostly because there is a lot of hype on technology that tends be impressive BUT misses the mark on the bold claims.

But with this LK99 stuff, there is not much room for vague wiggle room. The requirements are very clearly defined and if they do it. It is done! It isn't a case of "if in 5 years and $X billion we may be able to produce this stuff", it is a case of they showing a working material.

It is hard not to be excited for this!
