You seem to have missed the point of my post entirely.

You also seem very hung up on 'digital is superior' which, yeah, no shit, never even insinuated it wasn't, so I don't really know what you're on about.

Also I specifies the target group for this advice, which was not 'beginners', you made that up yourself.

Truth is, film is worse, and that makes it harder, and it makes it fun to learn. Sure you can do the same digitally, but you're not forced to do so, which means the temptation to return to old habits is very high.

Don't get me wrong, I bring a dslr with me on every film shoot, I use it as a light meter and as a failsafe. Intitially, I just brought a slide rule that I made for estimating exposures and I got very good at it. Nowadays, I can look at a scene and easily be within a half stop just guessing, keep/cull ratio is probably 1/4, versus before it was easily 1/40.

Call that 'retro grouchyness' all you'd like, it works, and it has worked for everyone I've convinced to do it so far, but by all means, build yourself a scarecrow and complain loudly that you disagree with someone on the internet.

Sorry to disapoint you but web integrity doesn't work either. On Android where you have the play integrity api, bot farms are still very well alive and kicking.

Third party rom users are affected on the other hand though and third party browser vendors will similarly be if this is pushed forward, reducing competition in the space.

The whole thing is a complete failure on Android so I don't see any argument why we should also suffer on the web.

I’ve got some of the malm draws that have been in use for 15 years now and they still look fine.

Most of my stuff is from ikea and nothing has failed yet, but I specifically select stuff that seems sturdy which most of it is.
My daily driver is Android + Samsung DeX, and I've tried doing this a couple different ways. In the end, the only thing that didn't make me pull me hair out in the long run was proper VSCode (arm64 build) inside termux/Ubuntu (installed via Andronix). Crucially, the only VNC client that works well with this (and I've tried all the paid ones too) is AVNC from FDroid.

I had too many issues with code-server and vscodium and such when it came to proprietary extensions unfortunately, and my actual dev machine is in the cloud so I rely on the Remote Dev extension. Has to be real VSCode.

I like that you can create a PWA from a standard code-server deployment too, and that works quite nice on DeX (proper immersive-mode full screen), but for me that has been too limiting because I cannot remap my brain away from my vim keybindings, and some stuff just doesn't work in a browser context. The browser will take over certain things (like ESC for getting out of full screen or alt+tab for navigating across browser tabs rather than VSCode tabs, etc).

As a rule of thumb now, any software that's complicated enough to require tabs, I try to run native arm64 builds for (VSCode, Obsidian, browser) and everything else I can get away with kiosk-mode browser windows masquerading as apps (email, calendar, feed reader, chat).
> Too many tech people argue that giving police access to WhatsApp encryption is actually a Type 3 "it can't be done for fundamental physical reasons so it doesn't matter who demands it" problem, but that isn't true.

This is changing the goalposts.

Giving police access to whatsapp chat is trivially easy. But that's not the question.

The pro-surveillance people say "Give the good-guy police (whoever they are) access to everything and keep it secure from the Bad Guys Whom We Oppose (whoever they might be this week)". That one is indeed impossible due to the laws of information theory.

> without any risk of universal master key leaks

You're looking at a technical problem when this is not that, it is a humanity problem.

It's relatively easy to avoid e.g. master key leaks. That's an irrelevant implementation detail. What matters is that if some set of people have unfettered access to bypass all protections, then all the Bad Guys will also have that access soon enough because you can't keep people from getting corrupted/threatened. No matter how hard you wish, you can't. Humans are like that.
I don't know how accurate it was, but I read that 27% of Canadians were fine with MAID (medical assistance in dying - i.e. euthanasia) for those whose only affliction was "poverty".

I've been thinking about that a lot recently. You're right: this is who, at least a large group of us, are.
As a software-only guy, this article brings me great encouragement for doing a hardware project in the future! :)

Although, to be honest, my bigger problem is probably just simply not having a use case which I could use a self-built hardware project for. I don’t feel like I’m missing or lacking anything in my life or at home that could be fixed with a hardware project.

Additionally, I usually want the absolute best solution to a problem that I can afford. Commercial products have satisfied me well so far. My mindset about this is that if I can just pay someone for a product that solves my problem, I will gladly do so instead of scratching my head with a self-built project (I consider my time more valuable than anything else).

So I guess what really needs to happen to make me actually dip my toes in the hardware soup… is to have an annoying enough problem that cannot be solved with ready-made products on the market (either because they are bad or outright don’t exist).
From what I've seen, amassing riches is either a weird game to people, the means to a lifestyle they truly crave (status, luxury, ...), or an unhealthy obsession with security (both for themselves and their offspring).

I was, maybe still am, in the last bucket. But I'm starting to realise that security is a quite mythical thing - you can always think of more risks and counter measures, at least at the point I got to. Now I'm thinking the thing I truly need, and want to pass on to my children, is the ability to adapt to changing circumstances and stay resilient.
> There is an alternative (“value-based care”) that is slowly catching on, as the governments and companies paying for all these unnecessary services are starting to wonder if there’s a better way. Essentially, you pay a fixed amount per person, so the system is incented to keep people healthier, not sicker.

This sounds like rationing. Sorry buddy, they only pay a fixed amount per person so we can’t actually afford that expensive surgery or MRI or whatever else you need, go home and walk it off.
> Misrepresenting a cumulative 4 year increase as a single upfront one is honestly disgusting behaviour.

It's not. Even under normal conditions, central banks aim for 2% inflation per year, and a further 3% increase in wages is everything but disgusting - it's time for the workers to get back more of the profits that the megacorporations distribute to shareholders, especially as productivity increases historically have not been redistributed to the employees. Time for the latter to be compensated as well.
Looks like the answer is yes. Unless it has no data connection.

I mean, in most tech jobs the social skills don't end at the hiring game. I've had several jobs where dealing with corporate culture and its games, managers, peers, meetings, review cycles, etc was significantly harder than any of the tech stuff. Many companies are at least partially dysfunctional and some are very dysfunctional. Being able to understand the power games going on, not fully but at least enough to stay out of the fray, can sadly be a critical skill.

Dude, my struggle is to be able to operate a non-profit service free of charge with no ads, and the aim is to help users find a way out of exactly the aforementioned digital mall and onto the free and independent, mostly static web.

How has Python held it back? Most of the heavy computation lifting is done by C extensions/bindings and the models are compiled to run on CUDA, etc. What am I missing?
I still don't get why not just implement some basic usage rate limiting. Go two fold limit the rate to 2x or 3x the fastest they can manually use the service and limit users to only being able to burst like that for a bit.

I'm constantly amazed at how commonly people have been brainwashed to miss the other perfectly valid option.

Lower profits.
> You deserve to stay in business when you are a legal business entity that is following all the laws and regulations.

You also need to be making a profit though, or at least break even after all costs are accounted for. Otherwise you will run out of money. In our current economic model, a company that is too inefficient to compete in the market does not deserve to stay in business.
It will also harm the short tail of bots who aren’t run by dedicated attackers.
wtf is this "SATA"? It is the 2000s? NVMe has been around for a decade and that is what these SoCs support.
Obviously it doesn't change anything in the physical world. I think you're just misunderstanding the implication. If this software fulfills the need, individuals would not need to use keyboards that physically create the sound. Whether that would actually happen is a different matter.
10%, or is this a trick question?
Because it doesn't work. Malicious users can circumvent the rate limiting by using botnets. If requests were somehow tied to the identity of the human operator rather than the particular computer they used, then yes, rate limiting would be all we need.
That peak is around 400 req/s, right? I would expect the usual solution to be to just rate limit each user to some reasonable limit, and then 429 if theyre over.

I feel like 400 req/s should be absorbed, especially since my 5€/month VPS can handle about 2x that, sustained. I might be missing something here, but that just doesnt seem like a peak big enough to warrant degrading user experience.

Sadly I'm often categorized by websites as "probably a bot haha get fucked", and its lost sites hundreds or thousands of $$$ worth of revenue over the years, just from me alone.
The AI community is nowhere close to ditching Python. Most model development and training still use python based toolchains (torch, tf...). The new trends is for popular and useful models to be ported to more efficient stack like C++/GGML for easier usage and inference speed on consumer hardware.

Another popular optimisation is to port models to WASM + GPU because it makes them easy to support a variety of platforms (desktop, mobile...) with a single API and it can still offer great performance (see Google's mediapipe as an exemple of that).
It was not obfuscated to any of us who used them at the time. Apply whatever purity tests you want, but the reality is that a lot of people used these labels different to how you're using them, and when you insist on ignoring that you're the one engaged in obfuscation.

I don't think this deal excludes Apple from using RISC-V.

What it does is secure their ability to still use ARM for a while.
The NuGet packages are zip files containing compiled binary and possibly other resources. They're referenced in the source code and included at compile time. Since they become integrated into the overall compile, there's no need to reference them in the final runtime product.

Hi, I'm David. I specialize in Django/Python contracting and have over 10 years of professional experience building and maintaining Django apps.

My goal: To be as self-directed as possible so that you can get back to running your business instead of managing me.

Happy to fit into your existing process or I can manage the project myself with a weekly check-in call.

Open to contracting at $125/hr up to 20 hours a week, or we can negotiate a fixed-price, fixed-scope project.

Pushing config to production is also deployment. Pushing config update to a dynamic config serving service from which all other services pull the config is also deployment.

You need safety guardrails for any deployment of code or config – a clearly defined unit of deployment that is version controlled, changes going through a repeatable automated flow in which lints/tests can be added, changes can be rolled out atomically all at once, or rolled out with careful control gradually, can be rolled back to a known safe version instantly when needed etc. All of this applies to config and code (binary).

Within code, having feature flags, dynamic config variables, experiments that can be ramped up slowly and ramped down automatically upon regression detection etc – these are mechanisms to make your life easier when you have unknown-unknowns manifest to bite you. And they always do in any non-trivial real-world large-scale distributed architecture application that needs to evolve continuously.

And these unknown-unknowns are not just code bugs, they are mix shifts in usage patterns, data etc causing unanticipated behaviors too. They are old stale stored state interacting with new code that you didn't test for. They are changes in code outside of your control – like remote services or OS/language libraries – that you assume to be mostly stable and don't exhaustively test every single time – that you don't even know when they changed - that change behavior without changing interface etc. These are real-world software systems problems.

If your software is built like an appliance – frozen in time and doesn't change ever after, is stateless, doesn't interact with outside world etc – then you don't need any of those guardrails and you can keep your code simple.
I skimmed through the article but wasn't able to find such.

What I read on diversity seems to make sense to me; that, if all other factors equal (degree and such), then you hire the most marginalized person. It might seem unfair (and on a micro level it might be) but on a macro level it is fair since the least marginalized personae are going to be able to easier get the job elsewhere where they don't prioritize the marginalized personae.

This almost never happens btw since HR looks further than degree. We also have the issue of old age (due to babyboomer dominance) and these babyboomers mean there's an ample amount of jobs available.

Also, you can exploit the unique abilities of a marginalized person. For example, their bilingual expertise (example being customer support) or their knowledge on LGBT issues (for example, a quest in a game involving such) or their first hand experience and/or literature derived knowledge on disabilities (for example usability issues with a product) or spot say (even unintentional) racism in the product (example being AI/ML)
Why is it relevant whether the traffic is human or automated? The whole point of the internet is you can put a server out there and anyone anywhere can connect to it with any HTTP client.

To me it seems like the only people who care about that are those who want to sell our attention to the highest bidder via advertising. Wouldn't you be having the same difficulties if there were just as much traffic coming from humans?

Snowden also brought the goods (actual docs) so that the existing cases and inquiries could proceed without getting the Glomar response - “cannot answer the question of whether you have standing, as we can neither confirm nor deny the program either exists.”

And this was deliberate. Those in the know knew _of_ the program, but could do little actionable with that knowledge without Snowden’s public proof.
