Yes this seems like a robust solution that is very close to what I want.
I think that in this case DropBox can be replaced with RClone that syncs to a few different clouds in a loop once every say 10 sec - from a bash script or something.
The thing is it’s not only about not uploading your data open to the cloud provider.
It’s also about not installing a black box non open source app that is running in the background at all times.
I feel like they have neglected Procreate proper for a while now. A lot of the things they've added in the 5.x line are niche, while major features are ignored.

Organic brushes (natural media like oil and watercolor behavior, not just controls like jitter) are still MIA, for example. And several more things.

And Dreams is more of a diversion. Only a small fraction of users would be interested in animation.

But they of course know that they will get those $19.99 anyway, out of curiosity, even if most Procreate users are going to rarely or never really use Dreams.
thank you. will try this.
But you wouldn't use a SAN here. SAN pricing is far away from reasonable for this situation.

For the 20TB case, you can fit that on 1 to 4 drives. It's super cheap. Plus probably a backup hard drive but maybe you don't even need to back it up.

For the 2PB case, you probably want multiple search servers that have all the storage built in. There's definitely cost increases here, but I wouldn't focus too much on it, because that was more of a throwaway. Focus more on the 20TB version.

> That incurs lifecycle costs like training and implementation

Those don't relate much to the amount of storage.

> and then you get asked about retention and GDPR....

It's 90 days. Maybe you throw in a filter. It's not too difficult.

> if these logs are unlikely to be used

The devs are complaining about the search features, it sounds like the logs are being used.

> preventing IT scope creep and the accumulation of cruft that can mature into technical debt

Sure, that's reasonable. But that has nothing to do with the amount of storage.
> The people in the office have a farrrr easier time relying on non-work to look good. They can have conversations, build relationships, etc very naturally. They look like they're working so it's just easier for them not to.

Worked with someone really good at this. She'd walk the halls in the office with a very serious, determined look on her face, always with laptop in hand. Always drifting past where the Directors and VPs sat. Always striking up conversations with people above her on the totem pole (never, ever being seen talking to a lowly worker bee). Always visibly demonstrating vague "bustle" and "activity." A naive manager would observe her behavior and think to himself "Ahh, yes, the buzz of Business™ Being Done". People like this see their careers absolutely THRIVE in the office, and are desperate for RTO.
Bun ships features and improvements fast and often, which is great

But from anecdotes, I have the impression people still run into bugs and missing functionality semi-commonly. I'm sure it works great for small/personal projects, but I've been hesitant to recommend it for production use at my workplace because of this impression

So my question is: how feature-complete/stable/secure is it right now, what does the v1.0 label say about that, and what are the long-term plans/prioritization/guarantees around this area?
I think there's a very good chance you're right. But!

Unless you know where the bees are coming from another very likely scenario is the colony just died. A newly established wild hive has only like a 20% chance to survive its first winter so if that's the first summer you saw them that likely explains it.

If you're near two highways it's likely you're in a fairly dense area and feeding a nearby beekeeper's hives. But a lot of beekeepers are hobbyists and like all hobbies, people give up on beekeeping all the time. Even if it was a managed hive a likely explanation is that the colony simply isn't there anymore.

Two comments:

1. There's no compelling reason to think that this applies in NSO's case, since a lot of the bad actors are geopolitically aligned with "good" governments.

2. One needs only study the cold war briefly to see how the group-think in these unaccountable environments can become completely detached from reality.

Pardon me if I'm skeptical of unaccountable officials making those decisions, and orders of magnitude more skeptical of random people on the internet alluding to such actions as if we can all just assume abuses are justified by unspecified good ends.
That "one weird trick" is probably 60-70% of why you would pass an interview.
If you've gotten to an interview, they already believe you have the technical qualifications. The technical / white board interview is just due diligence. Having social skills requisite to make the interviewers like you is very literally the only thing they don't know about you, which is what they're testing for.

The hiring requirements for FAANG / MAGMA / F100 companies are higher than those for non-FAANG. Maybe smarter isn't the best term, knowledgeable or competent would work better. His point still stands though.
One thing I noticed about this piece is that the one thing that kills its spirit is too steady of a tempo...

it is actually quite amenable to an extremely loose interpretation of tempo, with swings of 300% in the pace feeling both natural and moving

Try it here by listening t the mood of the music and clicking faster or slower...its quite amazing.
To my knowledge, Apple has not invented a new form of advertising that works without tracking users.
Apple collects your data for the same reason Google & Meta do: to sell ads. The only thing Apple is better at is PR.
You mean FTE? Full Time Equivalent.
On my phone, I have DnD mode always turned on. I have network wide suppression of ads with pfblockerng-devel. I use a separate browser for social networks that I rarely open. These three things already helped a lot.
We use "train" in a colloquial sense because you're right -- it's RAG. We've tried to think about a different term but "train" seems to be the one that most data analysts resonate with.

The problem is that while sometimes the thumbnails are crap, some of the best and highest quality content is marketed that way.

I don't blame them: it works, and part of the process of making a great video is also making sure as many people see it as possible, to maximize return on investment from developing and producing it.

You have to learn to discern the relative quality of the specific producers/brands/channels. It's a lot of work and it takes
years. I use yt-dlp in a cronjob to make local mirrors of all the videos from a set of channels I consume.

When Google started bragging to it's advertising customers that it now buys a copy of everyone's credit/debit card transaction data, that was my personal bridge too far.

If someone is supposed to be spending 8 hours reviewing a proposal in detail, but they instead rubber stamp it after a brief look and head out to the golf course for the rest of the day that's pretty much undetectable. Especially if 99% of proposals are OK.

Unless you're the kind of micro-manager who records mouse movements per minute, demands webcams always be on, or duplicates employees work just in case they missed something.

Obviously for other sorts of work, the same behaviour can be much more detectable.

Maybe it's that "our business is organizing anonymous sex hookups" that is embarrasing? I'd feel the same about Tinder BTW. I think it's one step above having a porn site on your resume. The tech may be interesting, but the content is not "respectable"

its +50% on few tasks.

It is also +50% not against sota, but some their weak baseline.

For example they received large boost on object_counting task where their final result is 86% acc, while current sota from https://arxiv.org/pdf/2210.09261.pdf is 93%
"its data" - nothing on Twitter, except the pathetic memes from a billionaire wannabe edgelord should "belong" to Twitter. It's all user-generated content.

>you have to trust their creators explicitly

Yes, and that same issue stands for extensions that are essential for making the browser usable. Who uses Firefox without uBlock? I won't use a browser that lacks a feature rich vertical tabs solution and that requires me to use sidebery with Firefox. That essentially forces me to trust a host of extension creators that I know nothing about. Yes, source can be reviewed, but I don't have the chops to do it and it doesn't seem like there is a non-profit organization that is taking that on (why doesn't EFF?)
1. Missing `node:http2`
2. Missing `node:test`, so it's more difficult to execute the same test files within Bun as we do via Node. I wrote a custom Bun loader to mock parts of `node:test`.
3. Vite and ESLint do not work.
4. Still occasionally segfaults, and it's difficult to find out why/where.
5. Surprisingly, some code runs slower in Bun than in Node. For example, generating JWE with symmetric encryption. But this might be WebCrypto vs OpenSSL.
6. Subtle differences between WebKit and V8 (e.g., how they handle dates).

I used to work at an AIX shop. I gotta say, AIX is pretty solid. Back in the late 90's, it had features like volume management long before LVM was available in Linux. They also had a great virtualization story early on (LPAR.)

I can do both, actually. Just because something is technically legal doesn't mean it has to be socially acceptable. The two systems are often complementary, and often even contradictory.
Thanks for sharing your story — it's helpful to have even a few other stories of people who went through this.

Partly its the mystery and nuance of figuring out _how_ to talk to these people since it's not obvious which levers to pull. I feel like I am reverse-engineering a mysterious API.

I don't think she is going to be able to manage complex finances, it is starting to get to confusing for her, this is all completely overwhelming to her. It does feel like a misstep can be penalized.

And each phone call requires hours to visit which is very hard for her.

She doesn't have any family to help her navigate the system.

Good idea to talk to HUD / housing assistance programs.
At the end of the day even this will fail because of human limits.

The 'firehose of falsehood' loves to flood the field with bullshit to purposefully get your to ignore as much as possible. The bullshit asymmetry theory says that even the act of ignoring requires entropy expenditure of which you as an individual have a limited amount of. After this your default state is one of disbelieve and a default ignore state. Your political enemies can then abuse this to insure you ignore critical information that is important to your future well being.

We humans are screwed. We are not designed to pick important information at a worldwide scale where events thousands of miles away can affect your life nearly instantly. This will only get worse as agent based intelligence becomes more common and able to work at scales far beyond any individual.
$20 one time purchase, I think I'll be getting this at release. I understand the subscription model but for things like this that I will probably play with for a bit then possibly not come back to for a few months I don't want to have to feel like I'm getting utility from my subscription, I just have it, whenever I want.
Yeah, I completely switched to Arch after I got the ads in my apt-get commands. It's a bit more annoying and unstable, but overall a much better experience than Ubuntu.

I still have a few server instances on Ubuntu, but I'm moving them to straight Debian or arch when they need major upgrades.
My bank is detecting Netscape Navigator 4 & you better bet it’s a horrible experience for small viewports, & generally a buggy experience altogether (scoping other sites in my country, they are all just as bad).

This is also presupposing the Google doesn’t get its Web Environment Integrity (WEI) initiative foisted upon us allowing the banks to do the same sketchy attestation that they can do with apps from the browser--meaning they could deny you from running an alternative OS, disabling TPM/Pluton/Secure Boot, to having admin/root access like they block it on phones for dubious reasons.
Advertising doesn't require that you relentlessly spy on users, it's just more profitable if you do so.
The point is that iMessage lets you send to any contact and it’s not clear if it will send to their iMessage, which uses email as an identifier, or to their actual email inbox through mms.
This is also, I believe, why so many are cavalier about the difficulty of avoiding catastrophic outcomes after inventing general artificial intelligence. We are really good at lying to ourselves. I fear this will be the last time.
Because you always have to be squeezing more money from somewhere to keep your stock going up and ads are an easy place to get it
It's only "dumb" from the perspective that you and I think that the work we and others do requires some special magic and that companies like this really need the A/B players.

I think Musk "showed" that it's "possible" (in the short term) to just purge and get by with C or D players -- plus the occasional True Believer -- and still survive.

Let's be honest that most companies... what they're doing... is not magic. And their CEOs are likely aware that following a Google-like "hiring the smartest people" strategy along with the $$ that goes with that may not be what they need.

And during economic contractions, short-termist thinking takes often over. So here we are.

But I do think in the long run, yes, it's poisonous. But out of the ashes of that come the next A-player companies.
This is why I'm so interested in running Python (and almost every other language) inside a WebAssembly sandbox.

It's 2023. I never want to run untrusted code on any of my devices outside of a sandbox ever again.

WebAssembly feels like it should be that sandbox. Every few months I check to see if it's easy enough to run regular Python/JavaScript/etc code inside a WebAssembly sandbox yet... we're not quite there but it feels really close.

Linux might have provided fertile ground for the adoption of Git but Git had to exceed existing standards to achieve its own merit-based acclaim. He created these two tools that both have achieved high degrees of utility and widespread adoption within their respective domains.

Ultimately, we spent billions on (e.g.) JWST because it makes us feel good. We're not going to get new cancer cures or end homelessness, right? We're just going to get knowledge about the universe. But why? Why do we need to know the shape of the earliest galaxies? It's not going to improve the GDP. We seek that knowledge only because it makes us feel good to know. That's it.

In the same way, we send humans into space because it makes us feel good. We like to see people strap themselves to a controlled explosion and head out into space to explore.

Just as seeing pictures of the universe makes us feel awe, inspiration, and perspective, seeing humans in space gives us perspective on our beautiful, fragile world, and our role in the universe.

Yeah, the iPhone model where your whole digital life belongs to Apple and developers have to ask permission to go to the bathroom is so much more secure. Funny how millennials and younger repeat "a phone is a phone and a computer is a computer, silly boomer" (I'm not a boomer, I'm a member of an invisible generation that thank goddess never gets talked about by the media) even though the equivalency of computers was the first result of computer science which is proven every day by video game emulation which many of that generation are quite familiar with.

That said my wife and I have separate accounts on a laptop that had the keyboard delaminated and replaces a mac mini 2013 that recently gave up the ghost. Works fine for us. Contrast that to the iPad which I don't really know how to share, and BTW she feels about the same as touching a touchscreen the way a lot of people would feel about putting their hand in a toilet.

At work I've recently been issued a new Win 11 desktop and they have a system where any user registered against it can just log in and have their desktop materialize on that machine w/ microsoft domains. It "just works" for the most part but when I was in grad school I remember an attempt to make a Win NT cluster behave like an old-school minicomputer went so badly that the sysadmin's head exploded and he left in a huff to go get a job admining printers for the whole campus.

But yeah, the current situation with virtualization does remind me of the old days when IBM never figured out how to make a general purpose OS for the 360 and wound up coming out with the 370 that supported virtualization... Thus a typical mainframe by 1980 was running many different operating systems and if you were doing software development you would end up spinning up a VM which ran a single user OS a lot like MS-DOS or CP/M.

The problem is "oh, we're still supporting it, we just released an update yesterday that fixed an issue with kerning when selecting certain fonts on the built-in LCD.
