How fast is AWS CloudTrail? Investigating CloudTrail delays using Athena
I did reach out, look for subject '"Sonic Garbage" & Didgeridoo' in your spam folder ;)
I assume that what you write is pure projection.
Even worse...
Ooof! Well at least now someone has read my blog (•‿•)

I was just thinking this side-thread was a bit OT. And in my book, there are worlds of difference between Google and using Algolia’s custom HN search, which is really awesome IMHO. (I use it myself multiple times per week.)

But what the heck, I’ll bite and share my recommendations.

I personally prefer this setup:

• Google Workspace for email. FastMail seems to be a very popular alternative, I’ve never tried them. There’s also Tuta and Protonmail but personally I’m not interested in E2EE email. (I much rather use something based on Double Ratchet for comms that need E2EE.)

• Cloudflare for DNS. There are lots of solid options here. E.g. AWS Route 53.

• Dynadot as my registrar. Porkbun seems to be a solid alternative.

HTH!
> _mm256_cvtps_epu32 that represent a low-level operation in a specific instruction set (this is a float to int cast from AVX2)

That instruction is from AVX-512. There’s no AVX2 float to int cast. There’s in AVX1, the int is signed and the instruction is _mm256_cvtps_epi32.
>it has one?

Then it was a very poorly implemented one that obviously does not work.

>I'm sure the working class are devastated that foreign investors have potentially lost money

Who's the one responding in bad faith here? Investors aren't just the stereotypical Monopoly Man smoking cigars in his top hat while driving his convertible in central London.

Investors means all the companies opening up shop in the UK creating jobs for those working class people: semiconductor, auto manufacturers, aerospace, metal work, med tech, electronics, etc. Outside of the EU, the UK becomes less attractive to open up jobs there by international investors.

You clearly have no understanding what "investment" means and instead responding in bad faith to invisible straw men with a chip on your shoulder.
That's a wall of nonsense. Opting out must be just as easy as opting in, it's one of the fundamental rules and "clever" workarounds like the one you describe have been repeatedly struck down.
For me, the reason for sticking with X is that my X setup works, and whenever I look at what it'd take me to do the same things with Wayland, I balk. I really don't care about X. But as long as the migration would break any number of script I rely on, it's not worth it exactly because I care about how I spend my time.

And that even drives me to write more X code because looking into whether I could realistically do the same upgrades to my environment with Wayland has put me off every time (I could write a tiny wm or be forced to maintain my own compositor - even the "tinywl" wlroots example is several times the size of my current wm, while not doing what I want).

For me it is purely pragmatic. If/when it gets harder to keep my X setup running than migrating, I'll migrate, and I do what I can't to keep the X-specific parts of my code well isolated. But it's likely to take many years before migrating becomes easier than staying put at this rate - frankly, odds are what will make me migrate is if/when the browsers drop X support.
There is no universal answer. Try it. Read a few random sections from the first three books. If you cannot put it down, this series is for you. Otherwise, I would skip it.

Personally, I think the TeX (that Knuth designed because he could not typeset the TAOCP to his liking) is a much more valuable side effect of Knuth writing the TAOCP than the books themselves, but this is not a popular opinion, at least within my Stanford-educated friends.
Is it possible to see someone hosting this, as an example?
This reminds me of another ISP scam. Around 2010, my ISP would occasionally inject pop-up ads into clear text HTTP pages. Apparently the solution was to call in a complaint. The customer support agent would act surprised (lol) and promise to investigate, and no ad would be delivered to the complaining customer afterwards.
> People smoke _everywhere_.

According to [1], smoking is relatively uncommon in NL compared to most EU countries (which matches my experience), and at the same level as the UK. However, I think it might depend on where you are within the country.

> I really don't think it's okay to smoke outside a children's school for during pickup

It is in fact prohibited to smoke on school squares in the Netherlands [2]. Whether that's enforced is another matter, of course.

Smoking is also prohibited inside in cafes and restaurants. I'd be happy if that were extended to terraces (or just everywhere), but with the party for "freedom" winning the election it seems unlikely.

This is a really nice comment, but I find the comparison at the end so strange. You shouldn't compare reading these books to using social media, a better comparison would be: given a limited amount of time, should you read these books, or some other one?

Here’s what the DPA conference had to say

Deepl:

> Whether the payment option - e.g. a monthly subscription - is to be regarded as an equivalent alternative to consent to tracking depends in particular on whether users are offered equivalent access to the same service in return for a standard market fee. Equivalent access generally exists if the offers include the same service, at least in principle
> Whereas on the Continent, trains regularly cross between countries and the whole system is much more-but far from entirely -integrated, politically and physically

That's not true. There are some local connections and integrations, but outside of high speed rail which is generally built using the same standard, each country has their own load gauge, electrification standard, signalling system, etc. Cross-border trains are usually special traninsets built to multiple standards to be compatible.

There is progress on more integration and standartisation, and pretty much all new lines are built to the same standards, but the vast majority of rail is existing.

> The US seems to have no defense against invasive pests, plant, animal or insect, it just lets them spread.

A large portion of that is inevitably of the US's own doing through its love of intensive agriculture.

Liberal use of hormones and antibiotics in animals, liberal use of pesticides etc. etc.

Not saying no other country in the world uses antibiotics or pesticides, but the US does it more intensively and more extensively than almost any other country on the planet.

You then end up having to fight fire with fire as things build up resistance.

I have absolutely no evidence either way, and I don't think you do either. Notably a judge just found Elon has a history of publicly lying in the context of autopilot advertisement.

You make a plausible argument, but zero percent chance is a stretch.

> It's been written about how the Starlink geoblocks are quite notably _on_ the frontlines on ground,

Which are not the internationally recognized borders of Russia and not the sanctions boundary. So that claim by Musk you repeated earlier is clearly false.
My own toughts on this is that it is hard to quantify. The end result of a quantity-related goal should be to spend more time reading and not necessarily reading more books. Finishing a book can take anywhere from a day to a several months. If you are too focussed on the quantity you risk selecting shorter and more shallow books to reach your quota. So my unscientific goal for the last many years has been around 12 books a year. Which I have been able to keep up for the last many years[0]. That is enough to keep me reading and not soo may that it would run the risk of impacting which book to read next.

With regards to having too many books to read then consider two facts. One is that there is no price or gain from having read a book if only for the fact of having to say so. Reading is not the same as understanding or learning. Second, interests change what you want to read today is not the same as you want to read in a month or year. So perhaps your list of books you want to read today is 100 books or more, but perhaps that list is reduced to 20 books by just waiting a year or two - who knows.

Don't stress about it - there is nothing to gain from that.

>and politicians who got pressured by their donors to keep the cheap labor as long as possible looked around and "uh ... its ... uh ... the EU is at fault!"

Spot on. All the problems the UK was complaining about were entirely self inflicted but also entirely fixable internally without having to leave the EU.

The EU was not stopping the UK form fixing it's shit, like implementing minimum wages or expelling illegal migrants, the same way the EU wasn't stopping Germany, Austria, Netherlands, Finland, etc. from taking care of their internal matters much better than the UK has.
Being more ergonomic than C++ is a low bar anyways, we should hold ourselves to a higher standard. For starters, field offset syntax is painful (see Gankra's post on this topic) and pointer manipulation lacks syntactic sugar. I also believe unsigned integer promotion and UFCS would improve ergonomics with high-perf code (although I'm aware this is not going to be included in Rust).
i didn't know that htmx can handle json responses. it's cool that it can.
I’m getting annoyed at the disingenuous researchers and reporters who keep repeating it. A cursory look into any red dwarf based system will immediately show how unlikely it is you will find complex life in them for two reasons:

1. The planets will be tidally locked so any habitable region would at best be in a small ring like region around the planet.

2. These stars are prone to massive storms which will likely eradicate if not the full atmosphere at least any life form that would need time to multiply before it gets mutated by radiation.

We should spend time looking for the nearest sun like stars and finding technology that can study their planets instead of saying “yeah this is the closest star so obviously we should expect life there” when all evidence indicates otherwise.
Just to add, the main complaint I have had with it is the memory leaks/bloat. For example, I sometimes listen to music via youtube while working and after a couple hours the video player interface will become unresponsive, you click pause and it takes 5 seconds for the video to pause. This problem has been around for over a year, I remember seeing some similar posts on the support forum but it was kind of dismissive. This kind of bug is a deal breaker for me.

@dang, this title should be labelled (2002). (This is old news; I first heard about remote viewing projects back then myself.)

The article is hosted at "Columbia.edu" but the underlying publication is an Indian foreign policy strategy journal mirrored there, not from a Columbia.edu university academic. Of note is the biographical footnote on the author who was a retired physicist studying cold fusion among other things:

"Dr. M. Srinivasan was formerly Associate Director, Physics Group, Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Mumbai. He is an experimental Physicist who has specialized in fast breeder reactor physics and Cold Fusion. Since retirement, he has been studying anomalous phenomena not explainable currently by Science."

It's nice to see some of the specific remote viewing anecdotes in print in a relatively short not overly sensationalistic piece. The whole matter of blinding, double blinding, possible cheating, priming, statistical significance, etc is unfortunately not really addressed in a way that would ameliorate anyone with much skepticism.
This year we've got multiple examples of Black Friday "sales" where the prices are the same as last week, they just changed the accent color on the tag.

There's stacks of stuff in the stores no one wants at any price. TVs that watch you as you watch them. "Home assistants" with 8 channel sonar systems that offer less and less of the capability they have to their hosts. Appliances with legally mandated inefficiency.
Yep, efforts to replace Youtube (and the rest of BigTech) should be spend on building better search and cataloging of videos across all the Web instead of focusing all effort on one specific hosting technology that nobody uses. I'd be much more inclined to use a service or software that improves on Youtube by including other sources of videos, then one that tries to replace Youtube with their own set of (drastically inferior) videos.

Miro[1] tried that a long while ago, but I haven't really seen much else going that direction since then.

Well, I haven't read it but it sounds like it could easily be a multi episode documentary on YouTube or even Netflix.
Principia was an attempt to derive math from logical ground up, motivated by ideas about the foundations of mathematics and logic (wrong ones, it turned out). Knuth is more like A Magical Mystery Tour of Algorithms, wherein Knuth is both tour guide and man behind the curtain.
Stallman's only mistake was equivocation. He should have held firm and never apologized. It just gives ammunition to his enemies.

So he didn't actually do anything wrong, even by the author's admission. But if it makes someone uncomfortable, that is enough.

I submit that abortion can make people uncomfortable. Or defunding police. Or supporting/opposing military actions.

Presumably the author doesn't consider those beliefs to warrant ostracizing.

Instead, it's only some politics, and conveniently the ones that they dont like.

We have to stop this nonsense! No one should feel their livlihood is at risk because of politics and consent laws.
> This is objectively false, he misread Twitter's quarterly statements...

Whether it's objectively true or false is irrelevant. What I said was it changed his view of the company's value which resulted in him acknowledging that his estimation of Twitter's worth had dropped.

And while I don't disagree that Musk had a different interpretation of mDAU than Twitter did, I don't sign onto the assertion that how 2022 Twitter's view of the world is anything like objective. These numbers have been considered controversial and suspicious long before Musk's interest in Twitter.[0] Twitter had a history of dodgy numbers.[1] And there was substantial evidence that Twitter was turning a blind eye to bot traffic in their mDAU analyses.[2]

I don't think most of us here are the intended audience for a book like this. TAOCP is meant to be a comprehensive compilation of the field of computer science. Such content is useful for people like researchers, lecturers, and those who work on computer languages. But for software engineers - there are much better books that will help you. Some of my favorites:

- pragmatic programmer

- code complete

- hackers and painters

That's not to say his works are 'bad' -- but they are very specialized.
There are plenty of locations in the US where fast intercity regional rail could easily be useful and work. Florida, Portland - Vancouver, Alabama/Georgia/Carolinas/Virginias, Midwest.

Yeah, few people will take a cross-country train outside of for the novelty and the attraction itself (which are still not to be dismissed), but that doesn't mean there aren't plenty of <4-5h trips that can be made via train if there was good, reliable and fast service.

Wah, there is no Incel content on YouTube? What about Pearl Davis, or the flood of shorts extracted from this podcast I just cant remember right now?

Personally, I much prefer a uncensored platform over arbitrary censorship by big tech. Without censorship, I can at least decide for myself if I want to watch it.

In fact, I find it quite concerning that people like you seem to actively advocate for voluntary censorship.
Close, things like PCI and AGP (i.e. fast/wide parallel busses), not PCIe.

Everyone in the late-90's recognized that parallel was maxed out and GHz SerDes with embedded clock recovery, adaptive equalization, lane skew compensation, error detection, etc. was the future. Future I/O (IBM, HP, Compaq, 3Com, Cisco, ...) and NGIO (Sun, Dell, Intel, ...) were competing efforts that eventually merged and then rebranded by Intel as InfiniBand. But IB had the usual design-by-committee disease as it tried to shoehorn in networking, io, and system interconnect roles. Intel then bailed from the effort and serialized PCI instead. Intel tried to get back into that game in the 2010's with OmniPath without success.
Personally, I would not have a problem with paying for Facebook or Instagram without them abusing my personal data. But the 10€ they are charging is a ridiculous amount that is intended to drive users into opting to have their data used.

I doubt that Meta makes anywhere near 10€ per months with the ads they are showing me. If they can show realistic numbers how much money they own by showing me ads, I am absolutely fine to pay that with a 10% surcharge. I doubt this will be more than 5€ per month.
How much interest you charge, and if you are doing it say to help people trough university, so that they can benefit society and or humanity, versus if you want people to promote people getting lavish people houses, wanting them to fail so that you can get other peoples houses.

Removal of WebTorrent is sad, as it's still WIP in actual torrent clients (but those do move slow anyways, it's not WebTorrent's fault). So it was removed before it got a chance in an ecosystem that moves slow.

It also takes PeerTube instances further away from being able to P2P without too many extra steps other than a shared infohash (and DHT). Video re-upload conflicts with such immutable solutions, but that's more of a positive. (Did you know the Crazy Frog uploaded years ago was VERY recently silently replaced with a different cut? https://youtu.be/k85mRPqvMbE?t=75 vs. https://hobune.stream/videos/k85mRPqvMbE) Reuploads should be reuploads, old versions should be separate.

As a third order effect, it also makes it even more impossible to generate and find interoperable YouTube archives based on the same source. Archival and mirroring efforts all disjoint and duplicated.

I tried, all I could find was one other HN comment asking about it. Admittedly I could have tried harder but it really isn't my assertion to defend.

I think there might be some confusion here between private repositories and public repositories with restrictive licenses. There is evidence of the latter but not the former.

I recently joined a startup as a junior web developer, and we're working on a project for issuing and verifying documents on the blockchain (using Ethereum as a public blockchain and Hyperledger as a private one). While I'm not deeply involved in the implementation details of this aspect, I'm interested in hearing your opinion on whether it's worth diving deeper into this world.

TAoCP is a delightfully written comprehensive encyclopedia of computer science for those interested in learning how and why stuff works; it is fundamental theory at its best. Without having read it I would have spent my life without even knowing something like a biased base 3 numeric representation even existed (each digit of a number is represented by 1, 0, or -1 using a radix of 3 -- wonderful!). I have yet to find a practical application for much of what I've read, but maybe that's why it's got "art" right there in the title.

If you're looking for some browser scripting code to cut and paste, you can go to Stack Overflow or Chat GPT to have your thinking done for you. If you want to understand what you're doing, pull out your dog-eared well-worn copy of TAoCP and spend some warm quality time with D. E. Knuth.
