you could achieve this with packer and some custom tooling yeah. But just saying “and some custom tooling” is like saying “you could do what Dropbox does with a custom rsync script”. There’s no off the shelf tooling to do it. One does not simply “build this on top of Argo by having your opinionated manifest language”.

There’s probably 10 tools I could customize to do this, packer being one of them, but no real patterns I’m aware of where people are actually doing it with argocd or fluxcd config as a base. Usually you’re either all in or all out on gitops, so I would be interested in seeing blog posts or libraries of people who have done hybrid approaches (push and pull deployments) and the trade offs they had to make. There is a decent amount of decisions that have to be made to build an abstraction like that, so anyone who has done it before I’m happy to stand on the shoulders of. It’s been on my list of unsolved devops/infra problems to unwrap for a couple of years now

In the end there are really three steps that need to happen for true “copy prod” ephemeral environments. You need to provision some stack of infra and then deploy some stuff on top of it and then pull some arbitrary, extremely customizable state into that deployment. I’ve been quite interested in Layerform recently for the first part of that, I think they are getting close to the right abstraction on the infra side. But then you still have to deploy (Argo, helm, flux, something) into that infra stack. Then you have to get the state into that deployment somehow. there is no answer for the latter two from Layerform (terraform is not the right tool for deploys or state backups once you do anything beyond a hello world app). Getting the state in has its own whole Pandora’s box (can I copy customer data from prod into another environment? How do I do so on a way that doesn’t violate SOC2/hipaa/whatever? How will my system’s data and configurations affect the third party systems it connects to?) that I think is simply just not generalizable. But the first two steps should be able to be generalized, and the last step is something that tools can be made available to make it easier with the knowledge that it’s basically business logic at that point
I watch a lot of cooking YouTube and Kenji is great, but I'd also put Chef John's Food Wishes and America's Test Kitchen up there.
OK scratch that, it's not "kind of annoying", it's a non-starter. Monthly subscription fee "per user" (whatever that would even mean in my situation), apparently various requirements about how it's configured (must have Active Directory?).

Aaaaand this is why all the cool stuff has to happen on the Linux side, where everything is free.

TBH it's a miracle that Windows Home supports iSCSI boot, you'd think that would be an enterprise feature for sure.

Yeah like maybe it was anti astroturfing, but I read that many people found themselves in the same exact buildings multiple times throughout the main quest and side quests… which is something Mass Effect did more than 10 years ago.

I cant think of why this article exists unless it’s an extremely naive reporter or an advertisement
I disagree. Unsolicited feedback lacks context and might not be intended to help the developer. Feedback to someone you don't know should be offered only if they're explicitly asking for it.
It really depends what you’re making. For example, some cuisines like asian food can take a very long time if you make it from scratch. Then there’s also a matter of balance, cooking a steak and sautéing some veggies can take minutes, at the same time if you’re trying to get a healthy balance of protein, carbs and veggies in all of your meals, then it can take forever unless you meal prep.

An added component is how many meals we are talking about. Making breakfast, lunch and dinner can be very painful unless you meal prep or get quick and easy items (readymade salads, overnight oats, frozen food etc.)
i would like to change my consulting into fixed fee or recurring fee just to be “available” when the time comes
Yes, it sounds like the same idea to me.
Watch their videos. Read their magazines. Happily pay them a $100/yr for the education. But throw their books (especially their "every recipe from the show for the past X years" books) in the trash. Honestly, their books are horrid. There's a marked qualitative difference between the writing of the recipes in the magazines and the writing of the recipes in the books. Dan Souza is editor-in-chief of the magazines which explains why the magazine is so good. I swear they outsource their book writing recipes and photography to failed college essay writers & photographers they found on Fiverr. An individual recipe in the books is all over the place. You'd think by the 12th edition they would have nailed the formatting or the writing style but it seems to just be a terrible copy & paste job from one year to the next. Their digital editions are even worse with broken formatting, unsearchable indexes, and bloated images.
That doesn't match my experience in tennis, table tennis, pickleball, or soccer, so a quick online search confirmed:

table tennis: https://www.allabouttabletennis.com/table-tennis-techniques-...

edit:

ok now I am very confused, as I can also find reports of the opposite effect, for example:

https://blog.tennisplaza.com/spin-effect-the-physics-behind-...

Can anyone explain why topspin makes a ball bounce lower (matching my experience and some online reports) and also higher (matching some reports in this thread and online)?

All else being equal, both can't be right. So is there some other variable at play, such as velocity, surface coefficient of friction, etc? Or is someone wrong?
In my experience, having a quick and dirty HMI/GUI is a must have during commissioning (initial start-up, tuning, etc.), debugging, and shut down. In all of the industrial automation and building automation projects I've been involved in, there's always been a set of commissioning HMI/GUI which is different to the HMI/GUI used in production.
Creativity follows a different pattern than highly repeatable line work. Software engineering is an inherently creative pursuit, especially when paired closely with a dynamic product function.

Definitely recommend Rick Rubin's book The Creative Act for a detailed glance into how wildly off the attempt to systematize and measure productivity is, in a creative context. https://www.amazon.com/Creative-Act-Way-Being/dp/0593652886

> The launch of any AI detection tool is guaranteed to be the start of an arms race

I wonder if that has ever delayed the start of an arms race. In this case it appears to be unwinnable, since the rival AI needs only regenerate the source image with some epsilon of difference until the detection is defeated. And a bit of variation is acceptable for most uses.

Strange game. The only way to win is not to play.

Dropout is one strategy for regularization but doesn't guarantee avoiding overfitting, especially now that modern AI models generalize much better than they did during the ImageNet days. Many of the big LLMs use a dropout of 0.1 though.
Teaching a two-handed backhand as default is best practice these days, especially with children whose game is most limited by their physical strength. And in group lessons with large coach:student ratios trying to teach two different strokes adds additional overhead - ie more coach time talking and less students hitting.

However, a good coach will look for the dominance between hands. A good two-handed backend, especially the straighter top arm style (driven in line with the shoulders, the more common style in the mens game) is extremely dominant in the top arm. Kids who struggle coordinating that balance of power correctly and pull hard with their bottom arm often struggle to learn a reliable two-handed backend (I was one of them until i changed to a one-hander as a young adult). Those students i would have experiment with one-handed backends.

The problem is, so few coaches my age and younger have one-handed backends they don't know how to teach one.

That guy right here[1], states that we will start to decode animal languages within one or two years. There is a story in the video, where he describes he and his team recording whale's words, playing the recorded audio back to the whale, and the surprising reaction of the leviathan.

One pretty astounding observation he makes, is that we humans and the planet earth, thought to be the centre of the universe until the telescope came along. Now it will be a similar moment, in which we think that our language is at the centre of intelligence, not realizing that many animals communicate just like us, but in an incomprehensible way to us.

First, words aren’t really related to sound. You and I are using words without sound, are we not? Language is an encoding. One of the things it encodes is shape. And even if you wanted to describe a chair without using the word “chair” you could do so using a series of precise measurements. It doesn’t matter that people wouldn’t use exactly the same words to describe it. In the end, everyone would understand each other.
LMUL (and especially fractional LMUL) isn't for performance, it's for kernels with mixed-element sizes, to maximise the number of variables (and elements) you can keep in registers without spilling.

Being able to use LMUL as a way to get the effect of unrolling and hide the pointer bumps and loop control on simple loops on narrow processors, without expanding the code, is just a bonus.

Exceptions like 10 EUR flights aren't sustainable. They're just auctioning off empty seats to cut costs.

The comparison was conceptual thing to similar thing. Only the rich own and operate private planes, that hasn't changed. The fact that other, more sophisticated planes exist doesn't undermine the point.

There are also diminishing returns. And past leaps in lifestyles aren't guaranteed to continue the same trends, and can reverse.

The earth has seen several major extinction events. Arguably humans are the cause of the latest one. Doubtful we can sustain billions of us without an ecological system to produce our bare necessities, certainly not enough for a full life.
That's a ridiculous thing to say without saying which restaurants (or some idea of a class thereof that) you're eating in. As if any 'dummy' armed with some articles is 'always' beating 'restauraunts'.

Don't get me wrong I'm not anti home cooking or massively pro restaurant, I love cooking & food, large categories of restaurant (and especially 'restauraunt') are no longer interesting to me due to the cost vs. taste relative to what I can do, but I don't kid myself, there's plenty of places I can eat the food of professional cooks and be impressed, inspired, enjoy it, find it good value; especially with company. And without touching the Michelin guide.

1. Casteism is not going down in India but has become much worse. Even in developed cities. Me and my friends live through a life where our relationship choices continue to become pain points or even complete ostracizations, these are IIT educated Brahmins for example. You’re right you might live your life without knowing this exists especially in a city like Mumbai if your family and friends circle is progressive but that doesn’t mean it’s not a problem.

2. I think a higher proportion of American Indians (including second generation) than even Indians in India are casteist. Just my observation. Leaving their home country and in this political climate with their general ideologies seems to engender embracing such ideas as part of their identity.

3. You can’t just stay away from such folks, if those folks are in places of power at work or community. If you wish to live a life where you don’t want interact with anyone or move up somewhere sure that’s fine but Indian Americans tend to be in a lot of places of power (and guess which fraction of them also might be casteist) so it’s not escapable all the time.

I think that the internet is making everyone (on average), better at everything and we just don't really notice because we get used to it. I've seen higher standards for almost every hobby, chore, sport, and daily activity because everyone is comparing themselves to the global experts in whatever it is that they do and have access to being taught by them.
No, I did not. If I had, my description would have been a lot more glowing and market-y :-)

Honest question: Does the kid really want learn via dealing with a book? Programming has such a wonderful virtuous feelback look built in, seems a shame to get in the way of that. My son learned a ton of programming mainly by building bigger and bigger things (with more and less help from me), and only after many years got to a point where researching a question on stackoverflow/etc started working for him. All the progress was well-motivated by the task at hand, not the next page of the book.

One tool that we found to be a very deep learning ground: an iPad app called Tynker. It is another block-based env like Scratch, though we found Tynker to have stronger primitives (e.g., you wind up forced to use globals to pass state around less often). Some big advantages: 1) iPad is super portable, so works when travelling 2) has an excellent physics engine built in - we made an Angry Birds clone 3) was strong enough to support making a piano app that can play concurrent tones. 4) Lots of samples shared by community for inspiration.
I think there are platforms for both. If you don't want feed back you can publish a blog that doesn't allow comments. If you publish on social media you are inviting social input.

Sometimes people want the participation and attention that exists on social media without the reason that attention exists.

Of course, advice should always be kind. And allow people to ignore you if they want; this includes not "piling-on" and restating a criticism that has been said by others.
