My view is that there are areas where GCP is better and areas where AWS is better. AWS has a much bigger community, and better business continuity story. GCP has a better developer experience and more uniquely-amazing best-in-class products (e.g. Spanner, Cloud Run, BigQuery). In the end, I don't believe Google will shut down GCP.

Blind people reliant on screenreaders often complain about people using unusual Unicode characters to spice up their writing, since the screenreader can’t make sense of those characters or tries to pronounce them as in the language they were intended for.

Fair enough, especially if explicit alerting is involved.

Have you considered a hybrid solution, something that generates a contract from a large corpus of data, which can then be deployed statically?

I consider "responding to change" as a somewhat different scenario from "heterogeneous but not changing". So statically generating a contract from an existing corpus supports the latter.

I could also envision some kind of graceful degradation, where you have a static contract, but you have dynamic adjustments instead of outright failures if the data does not conform to that contract.

GPS has generated over $1.4 trillion in value in the US alone since it was opened up to the public in the 80's [1]. Millions of people use satellite TV and radio. Commercial imaging satellites are used for mapping, weather forecasting, wildfire detection, and scientific research. SpaceX's own Starlink system has revolutionized satellite internet for regions too remote or underdeveloped to be served by traditional internet providers. And who knows what we'll be doing in 50 years! Imagine if we are able to use rockets for point-to-point travel on Earth, or we figure out how to mine asteroids, or if the economics of space-based manufacturing work out.

Also, abusing environmental regulation to set space policy is just straight up a bad idea. It's fine if you think we shouldn't be investing in space, but don't try and force that belief on the rest of us in an undemocratic manner. It's very NIMBY-esque

Well, did you see this in article copied from swift website:

swift, a general-purpose programming language built using a modern approach to safety, performance, and software design patterns, to create the best available language for uses ranging from systems programming, to mobile and desktop apps, scaling up to cloud services.

With these rather expansive pronouncements, one can reasonably assume Swift won't drop to C++ in the very next program after "Hello World".
Gotcha. I agree that the main premise of Flash Boys was wrong, HFT is unambiguously better for retail traders than the market makers that preceded it.
A quick Google gives me:

- Number of Facebook users in the world (monthly active users): 2.989 billion (April 2023)

- Number of people who use Facebook each day (DAU): 2.037 billion (April 2023)

- Size of Facebook's global advertising audience: 2.249 billion* (April 2023)

- These latest figures indicate that roughly 37.2% of all the people on Earth use Facebook today

Even if Facebook is losing active users, it has 2 BILLION users.

yeah, but then you'll want the central nervous system to be able to fiddle with the state anyway in order to do things like holding your breath while swimming, at which point the autonomous system is redundant and you may as well just have the brain manage the breathing state directly.

If you are building a static website (usually your website) or building a social networking product like Facebook, I would not recommend Nile.

I skateboarded, drank and smoked with this guy when I was about 15/16 (he was just part of our little group that skated etc, not a close friend, more just someone I knew). He was really out going, funny, confident. Whatever happened I didn't see him for another five years or so. Then at about 21/22 years old, me and another mate met him randomly on the bus... Right away it was obvious that something had gone badly wrong for him. He seemed jittery and withdrawn. We all laughed at a joke together, ten minutes later he asked if we'd been laughing at him, it was so surprising. He explained he was no good at doing jobs and had failed at chefing. He also explained he'd been living in a house were they were they had been doing Es everyday (he'd moved out and stopped that). Some of his house mates I knew of vaguely, I knew them mostly as dodgy bastards that should be avoided at all costs.

Anyway he seemed to be a wreck of a person. Judging the character change I doubt it wasn't permanent damage, but I'm no expert.

Bizarrely this encounter was 20 years ago, and I remember it clearly because it was so utterly shocking to me.

Thanks for the link by the way. Ever since my daughter was born I've been stopping my wife from shouting at her or labelling her something negative, because I know all too well what it did to me (it was totally minor for me, but it's there).

I don't play the minimization game. In 2014 when I started this strategy 0.5 BTC was like 100 bucks. Now that it's 15,000 bucks doesn't make a damn bit of difference. If they spent the time to figure out what the rest of the credentials were worth and exploited them to the maximum extent, they'd be walk away a multi-millionaire. However.... 15k in a plaintext wallet is an easy score and I argue that the vast majority of people who could compromise my password manager would take that in a heartbeat.
AWS was first to market for many years, and their margins were always higher than ecommerce retail (and that's easy to believe, since retail often runs on 1% margins)
We use :telemetry to collect usage data per tenant for Supabase Realtime.

We do this for rate limiting but it also makes it very easy for us to attach a listener (https://github.com/supabase/realtime/blob/main/lib/realtime/...) which ships these (per second) aggregates to BigQuery (via Logflare), which then the billing team can aggregate further to display and actually bill people with.
Not being allowed to see production data (or even in some cases see production!) was my greatest frustration in my last corporate job. But to be fair, keeping engineers off the live data was…pretty non-negotiable at most customers.

Fooocus actually has lots of knobs hidden behind the debug menu, and default augmentations are hidden because there is no reason to disable them.

Its, by a mile, the best SDXL output I've gotten from any UI, even with lots of tweaking.

A1111 indeed has tons of tools built into the UI through extensions, but they are mostly focused on SD 1.5.

ComfyUI and Invoke bundle lots of tools too, but they are "hidden" behind the nodes UIs and sometimes less functional.

Facebook dwarfs reddit and twitter combined - Does that make Facebook the #1 place to host an open source community?
If you mean ASCII, you'll also notice that it happens to correspond pretty well with the entirety of writing symbols which have broad global recognition, and this has been true for a long time. Sure, it's missing many many culturally specific things like accents and other diacritics, non-latin writing systems etc.

But none or at least very few of the symbols missing from ASCII are actually broadly understood by people from more than a handful of countries (which can still mean a billion plus people in the case of Chinese, Arabic, and Indian scripts, of course).

Probably Arabic is the biggest counterpoint to my claim, as there is quite a large array of countries across two continents that recognize it. However, even there, there are far more people in countries which use Arabic writing that also recognize Latin letters than the other way around.

The many diacritics used by various European languages are definitely NOT something that has any wide adoption or meaning. Perhaps only the umlaut sign and the accent are even used by more than one or two European languages.

So again, my claim is that any system of writing that is intended for global international communication will have to restrict all names to the A-Z characters in ASCII with spaces as separators (and perhaps 0-9 and a few other characters that would anyway get ignored). Nothing else will work if people around the world are supposed to recognize the name in some meaningful sense. And relying entirely on automated OCR is a no-go for many use cases.

And just like people who interact with those outside their cultures have to accept that their name will be pronounced in a myriad of ways, they have no reason not to accept that it will be written in different ways as well.

Is there a particular vim/nvim starting point that you recommend?

There are a lot of tutorials out there, but the idea of bundling is not something I've actually seen done.

If not, then Helix is actually the easiest way for a user to get what it's offering.
Probably, yes? Operating it to their specific needs is likely to be more efficient than operating to the generalized needs of cloud customers.

IMHO, the biggest wins for cloud are when you can't fill up a whole machine and when your needs vary significantly throughout the day and you can scale up and down quickly and not have to pay for unused capacity.

I learned vi on a Tandy Model 16 running Xenix. The Xenix console driver, for whatever reason, throttles comms to the display to 9600 baud. It was fine. Today a "slow connection" is megabytes per second. Latency may be an issue, but otherwise vim, or any terminal-based editor, will run nicely over any modern connection.

By contrast, VS Code needs to inject itself, plus any plug-ins, over to the remote side. Wanna know how long that can take if the link isn't decently fast?

non-slimey link: https://nandovillalba.scribe.rip/why-i-think-gcp-is-better-t...

and, as an AWS-er having to now support GCP, I violently and emphatically disagree with this:

> The experience of GCP on the other hand is more like collecting the car keys and driving off from the parking lot, with the option of dismantling and customising the car if you wish, but the default is a fully built functioning car with cohesive parts so you can quickly achieve your objectives, which is driving around, not assemble the car.

Oh, really? I invite the GCP newcomer to click on https://console.cloud.google.com/ create a new Project, and then run $(gcloud functions list) or, as the sibling comment pointed out, $(gcloud run jobs list) and watch it cheerfully tell you that you must turn on those services for each and every Project. And not just cloudfunctions.googleapis.com or run.googleapis.com, it's for damn near everything a sane person would want to use cloud computing for

I reiterate: you cannot turn on those APIs for your GCP "account," you must do it for each and every Project you create

Oh, you're the Super Admin for your Google account? Well, be sure you grant yourself the resourcemanager.projectCreator Role because as super admin you don't automatically have it

A reasonable person may retort that these are "secure by design" by opt-ing-in to surface area and permissions that one wishes to have, but as compared to "create AWS Account, start using ELB like it ain't no thing and I have AdministratorAccess granting me * permissions" -- let's not start talking about collecting car keys and driving off the lot

>I feel a quality prompt engineer could beat 85% with GPT4.

I generally don't pull the "you're not prompting it good enough" card unless i have direct experience with the task but this does raise a few flags - "between 42 and 86% of the time, depending on how the researchers presented the task."

I would have liked them to show how they presented this task, at least something more than a single throw away line, given how integral it is to the main claim.
I have worked on systems that had to do this in the long-ago past, and the headline is simply wrong.

There are many 8-bit EBCDIC code pages that support many languages (multi-hundred page book of them last I looked at it), at least as many as ISO-8859 alphabet soup encodings... and there are also shift-in/shift-out double byte EBCDIC encodings for Japanese, Korean, and Simplified and Traditional Chinese. They've been around since the 1980s at least. Since nesrly the beginning of utf8 acceptance, there is also UTF8-EBCDIC (shudder)

The bank developers just didn't write their code in a way that can support the multi-codepage way of storing EBCDIC.
Honestly the relative clarity of what cloud costs has been one of the advantages that companies want to pay a premium for, compared to the quagmire of capex, depreciation, attribution of datacenter costs, and interdepartmental chargebacks that on prem usually means.

I suspect fewer cloud migrations would occur if companies could map their onprem costs to specific products much more easily rather than going "Oh it might be a lot for this team but who knows?", which opens the room to someone to sell the pricing transparency use case to an exec.

> Debugging is an engineering discipline: You come up with a hypothesis, then test the hypothesis. Then you do it again.

I like this - I've given some form of this advice, but I usually say: "you should call your shots in pool".

You can flail about randomly and hope a ball goes in, but you won't get any better. You must be intentional, and train yourself to come up with and systematically work through hypotheses to get faster. This isn't getting better at programming - it's getting better at reasoning.

In my mind, this is also one of the main value-adds of working on "useless" projects. The end product isn't the point, the debugging and problem solving practice is.
