Hello! I’m the author of this blog, and I recently joined Hasura as a Technical Evangelist. This is one of my first blog posts and I’m new to this kind of thing so any feedback is welcome, good or bad!
This. A billion times this!

The principle that member nations have alignment and act (mostly) in unison.
This is a strawman that keeps getting brought up, but nobody's claiming that. The difference remains though and the scale depends on what exactly do you consider as an alternative. Renting a couple servers will cost you in availability/resilience and extra hardware management time. Renting a managed rack will cost you in the above and premium on management. Doing things yourself will cost you in extra contracts / power / network planning, remote hands and time to source your components.

Almost everything that the AWS specialist needs to know comes in after that and has some equivalent in bare metal world, so those costs don't disappear either.

In practice there are extra costs which may or may not make sense in each case. And there are companies that don't reassess their spending as well as they should. But there's no alternative realty really. (As in, the usually discussed complications of bare metal are not extremely overplayed)
You can use multiple availability zones and if needed even multi cloud. If you own the hardware, you do regularly need to test the UPS power supply to ensure there is a graceful fail over in case of a power outage. Unless of course, you buy the hardware already hosted in a data centre.
mustve been hard to admit publicly. i wish the author hadnt edited it out subsequently. just own it bro. you wanted to understand your customer.
Right, so if done more accurately and precisely, it isn't a bad generalized idea.
Well, YouTube watching is a thing.

But I'm also thinking about stuff like locally connecting a USB hard-drive, you will want to have good speed copying the files to the cloud computer.
Hi! Author of the blog post here

Thanks for your comment ! I have the chance to be able to choose when I’m going at the office or not, it’s a great chance and even if it’s planned to go to the office and it’s one of these down days, I can choose not to go and work from home at my rhythm.
Regarding to what to watch/listen to to be in the "zone", I really think it’s personal. Personally, if there’s some moving images, I’m unable to focus, but with some music (especially repeating electronic music), I can be in my own bubble for hours

NuScale tried that, doesn't seem to work (yet).

How's your sleep and emotional state when using it like this? With an elimination half-life of 15h, 2-4 days a week it won't leave your body.
I personally hated it for this reason - poor sleep, tossing and turning even with a sleep aid -> feeling emotionally unstable and even less productive the following day. Plus unable to recover from any moderate sports activity.

Bullshit
In that case it doesn't make sense to make it required.

Sure, I don't mind if they ask for my phone number if they think that's a better default onboarding flow, but allow users to bypass it.

With all that said, I don't think it's really only about user friction.
If you turn off RCS, Google Messages shows you a full screen prompt once a week to turn it back on. Indefinitely.

And of course the prompt has a large blue button to enable, and a very small text underneath to dismiss, making it easy to accidentally enable it. It happened to me a few times already.

It also tells you nothing about the downsides (that you need a data connection, mainly) that would make RCS unusable to certain people... So they trick users into subscribing then users begin experiencing difficulties receiving or sending texts and they don't understand why.

Thank you, Google.
Generative BI: Setting a New Standard for Business Intelligence
I think the meaning and the boundary has changed over time, but one of the most consistent features/requirements for a systems programming language is "embedability":

- functions that are called from a different language, like how parts of NumPy are written in C

- code that runs in kernel space

- code that runs on tiny little devices that don't really have an OS at all

In theory almost any language can do those things, but for a variety of reasons in practice we only use a small set of languages to do them.
why should they be?
There are some reasons i could think of that should make the tax-payers subsidise nuclear investments.

Sweden's competitive advantage during the 1900s was cheap energy. And we have some important industries that rely on it. Steelworks and papermills. If they would have to close down because they can't (unfairly) compete with cheap energy, it may have a big effect on the Swedish economy.

It may also be that businesses will not do the same risk/reward calculation as a country/taxpayers. They are simply not optimising for the same thing.
I'm pretty sure this whole post is a shitpost. A well written joke, and one I enjoyed. But a shitpost nonetheless.

Upon closer inspection, the glyphs are each rendered onto the framebuffer sequentially... one-at-a-time. IE: NOT in an embarrassingly parallel manner. So the joke is starting to fall apart as you look closely.

But those kinds of details don't matter. The post is written well enough to be a good joke but no "better" than needed. (EDIT: It was written well enough to trick me in my first review of the article. But on 2nd and 3rd inspection, I'm noticing the problems, and its all in good fun to see the post degenerate into obvious satire by the end).
To say nothing about living longer and not being blown up. It's definitely a plus.
Thanks Alan!!! I wish you luck with your projects too!
If a customer of carrier A wants to send a message to a customer of carrier B and the carriers aren't cooperating with key management, then I think the message is not encrypted because customer A needs to know B's public key and when B gets the message, they need A's public key to verify the sender.

It's true that a CRDT is often not the right thing for a classic client/server application. But this doesn't mean we should just give up on ux and use locking.

There are approaches to multiplayer that are client/server native. By leveraging the authoritative server they can offer features that CRDTs can't, while preserving the great ux.

I'm partial to server reconciliation:

Setting up k3s: 2 hours

Setting up Garage for obj store: 1 hour.

Setting up Longhorn for storage: .25 hour.

Setting up db: 30 minutes.

Setting up Cilium with a pool of ips to use as a lb: 45 mins.

All in: ~5 hours and I'm ready to deploy and spending 300 bucks a month, just renting bare metal servers.

AWS, for far less compute and same capabilities: approximately 800-1000 bucks a month, and takes about 3 hours -- we aren't even counting egress costs yet.

So, for two extra hours on your initial setup, you can save a ridiculous amount of money. Maintenance is actually less work than AWS too.

Anyone could see what cert signed it though. Sure anyone could sign video, just as anyone can have a site with SSL, but it would be easy to verify that the signing cert isn't the same.
For example, if some news org shot footage with some of their cameras or produced some video, the video player could show which certs were used in editing and to capture the video. If another party tampered with the video, the signed frames could reflect that, as the other party would not have the signing certs.

This is all hypothetical vaporware of course. Just saying I wonder if a video encoding solution like this could help people have faith in the video content they see.
Why would you not need to be seen on CCTV? This has nothing to do with the privacy of Signal.

I buy all of my anonymous prepaid SIMs with cash at retail myself, and they are still anonymous.

The only time you’d need to stay off CCTV is if you were using them to commit crimes and expected a significant investigation to be undertaken.

Your casual assertion of malice on the part of Signal is not supported by any facts.
I'm sure they are also getting better performance as well.

Not sure how to factor that $ into the equation.
Not really, I saw it as technology that was "new and trendy" rebranding a very old and exploitive employment paradigm.

Depending on use case.

If you have traffic which isn't consistent 24/7 then AWS Spot instances with Gravitron CPUs will be cheaper than on-premise.

>"It's literally easier to crack windows than to pay for it," exclaimed Pyburn.

Because Microsoft doesn't care if you crack it or pirate Windows anymore as Windows stopped being their main cash-cow a long time ago.

They know PC sales are slowly declining and that Windows is loosing marketshare to Mac and Linux in an already shrinking market, so they want as many people as possible to keep using Windows, regardless if you pay for it or not, as that way they maintain their OS monopoly and they can monetize users through ads and subscriptions anyway.

That's why they stopped enforcing DRM checks on pirated Windows keys, and even if you don't activate it, it still works fully functional, with just a watermark as the only deterrent, big whoop. Or if you want to be legit you can buy a 3 Euro gray-market CD-key online which also activates just fine.

So unless you're a business or a super ethical user, there's really no point in paying sticker price for Windows today when the alternative ways of getting it range from dirt cheap to free.
The unlimited plans existed, but it was more expensive than the limited plan I used, since I didn't go over the limit.

All those look very familiar to me. There been a Lebanese community in my small Canadian city for years some as far back as 1900 others from 1970s, 1908s depending on what cause them to come here.

They didn't say it doesn't work. They said it seems to make you dumber, at least on certain tasks - not the same thing as 'it doesn't work for studying or distraction'. Their findings are pretty interesting and relevant, at least for correcting a mis-perception that not a few people have about those drugs and what they're supposed to do (many people call them 'smart' drugs).

It's also amazing how inefficient Amazon can be in some cases while still being one of the most profitable companies in history.
It sounds like you’ve looked into it thoroughly, but have you had a blood iron test as well? My iron levels were not below the normal range, but taking an iron supplement (Proferrin) was profoundly impactful for me. I went from needing daily 1-2hr naps back to a normal sleep cycle (and can even go on <7hrs without feeling fatigue during the day).

It feels like they waited a long time to post an advisory for an exploit that was being actively used by threat actors, more than a week after they pushed a fix to their repositories. Why not give customers a heads up prior? At least give your users a fighting chance.

Something to keep in mind is that these support agents do not work for Microsoft. They're all outsourced. I've had Azure Pro support experiences where the "engineer" suggested to do something that was simply not possible within the Azure service I was using.

Jump over to enterprise support and there's a good chance you'll get an FTE (or an FTE after demanding an escalation).
> That depends on how the incentive structures for your corporate purchase department are set up

Sure, but that seems orthogonal to the pros and cons of having more layers of oversight (busybodies, to use your term) on infra spend. Badly run companies are badly run, and I don't think having the increased flexibility that comes from cloud providers changes that.
I started my first open source application on a small netbook back in 2009 when I was deployed in Afghanistan. When I came back to my corporate job I use my new technical experience to more than doubled my salary with 3 raises in a year: first compensation boost for minimum salary after transferring from a design job in marketing to a developer job in product development, second for promotion to senior when I became the company A/B test engineer, third a match raise to prevent me from leaving after receiving an offer letter elsewhere. I set the record for most raises in a year and largest compensation boost (in percentage terms) at that company, which at the time had 3200 employees.

That netbook was awesome. I would frequently pack it my rucksack without care which would become palletized cargo under other peoples' gear on aircraft. It took coming home to my kids to break it.
I liked this better, it uses some macros but it's easily readable and compresses the logs nicely.

Any idea why they're not even going to try for a soft landing? If nothing else I'd have expected them to want to examine the returned vessel for any lessons they might pick up. ("Oh, gee, there's an unexpected burn mark here, I wonder if we can fix that before it becomes a problem.")
> How much more expensive and power-hungry an ARM core would be, if it displaces a lower-specced core?

The power issue is real, but it might well be the same price or cheaper - a standard ARM that gets stamped out by the million can cost less than a "simpler" microcontroller with a smaller production run.
It really doesn’t work by just cutting and pasting scraps, I think you might need to do a bit more research on how this stuff works.
Yup it's completely disingenuous on Google's part.

Some people don't have data but Google doesn't care, they force clueless users to enable RCS anyway and then they're on their own to figure out why they don't receive messages anymore!

Yes, I don't disagree. But with a finite amount of money, it's often not possible to do both. Nuclear has a huge risk (as in project risk, not thinking about safety) and a long lead time. It's no wonder why other options consistently get prioritized.

This reminds me of the introductory scene of the amazing game The Stanley Parable:

Stanley worked for a company in a big building where he was Employee #427.
Employee #427's job was simple: he sat at his desk in Room 427 and he pushed buttons on a keyboard.
Orders came to him through a monitor on his desk telling him what buttons to push, how long to push them, and in what order.
This is what Employee #427 did every day of every month of every year, and although others may have considered it soul rending,
Stanley relished every moment that the orders came in, as though he had been made exactly for this job.

It was a sobering moment when I realized that accurately described most of my job too.

365·243 ought to be 365·2425 exactly:

Per 400 years, there is one leap day every 4 years (100 leap days), except when the year is divisible by 100 (so we overcounted by 4 and there are 100 – 4 = 96 leap days), except when the year is divisible by 400 (so we need to add that day back and arrive at 100 – 4 + 1 = 97). This gives us 97/400 = 0·2425.

The tropical year is about 365·24219 days long, but that's not relevant to timekeeping.
