My wife moved to the US from Portugal 3 years ago - during Covid lockdowns. Today we have three children and she has still yet to see her family. She only recently received her Green Card (I was her sponsor), and was forced to remain in the US until it was approved.
Now, we don’t have the money to fly the family there, and her family does not have the money to fly here.
Watching my children get to know their grandparents through FaceTime has been heart wrenching, but it goes without saying that this has been hardest on my wife. She has had two children without her mother or father nearby, in a foreign country where she rarely speaks her mother tongue.
I was hoping to fly all of us there this year, but we had a series of unexpected expenses that completely drained our nest egg.
Supporting this family is the most important thing in my world, and sometimes I feel like I just don’t do or have enough
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

That’s not remotely as crazy as you make it sound. This sort of census is used to count all sorts of things. In the case of NYC street trees, it’s been done three times before:

I'm also open to ideas. My girlfriend's elderly parents are based in Irpin, so I'm worried about heat outages. I've got them a battery powerstation, but even the large ones seem to have a limit of ~1000 watts, whilst a small heater pulls 2000 watts.

I'm contemplating getting a diesel generator, to share amongst them and their neighbours, but it's less than ideal as the generator has to be outside (for ventilation) and their apartment block doesn't have balconies.

And as the article notes, the monks quickly learned that doing all this manually would have been cost prohibitive.

I think we romanticize in our day and age the “method”. That is, we think that gothic architecture can only be built using the methods of the middle ages, that otherwise it is “fake”. It’s a strange prejudice that would have been foreign to the builders and architects of the original gothic cathedrals. These were people who were at the cutting edge of architectural technology and skill, certainly the cutting edge in Europe, not people who romanticized “being artisanal”. Frankly, the sophistication of gothic architecture rivals much of what we build today in many respects.

We also suffer from the strange, progressive, prejudiced belief that older styles are “anachronistic” if used today. They’re just styles. What does time have to do with anything? Architectural developments since the middle ages might change how we build such architecture or remove what had previously been a constraint imposed by the methods of the day (note the neogothic), but the essential character can remain the same…or it can undergo development.

I think that the availability of CNC machines makes architecturally beauty all the more accessible. Why we aren’t taking more advantage of the possibilities, I don’t know.
Note that it is Regulation (EU) 2022/350 to which they're referring to in this email. While I have no desire to read the media mentioned, the whole thing has been pretty much brushed under the carpet.
More than likely someone with a high traffic site fat fingered an IP address and sent all the traffic to you.

I am curious if you were able to capture the headers at all. The 'Host' header would allow you to figure out the site these people were actually trying to hit. I'm fairly confident it was not your domain. You may want to to put the Host header in your access logs. This may also explain why everyone got a 301 and using http.

No matter what you should be able to see this header 'Cf-Connecting-Ip' to know the true source.

While cloudflare is somewhat masking the origin IPs, a similar mistake without cloudflare would send at least the amount of traffic towards you.

I know where you're coming from, but I'm not sure I agree.

Traditional medieval cathedrals were built right on the limits of the materials, skills and labour available and still took generations and sometimes still collapsed due to overambition: especially lantern crossings, which are heavy and only supported in the corners.

Builders of cathedrals used the cutting edge tools and techniques of their days. If they'd declared, say, vaulted ceilings "cheating", they wouldn't have done what we see today.

I don't see a tension here: to them, perhaps, the monks are using skill, tools and material God made available to them to do the best they can (also considering the labour force God has not given them). Rejecting God's offer of tools that can make a better cathedral would be like a medieval architect swearing off a horse-powered crane to get a heavy keystone in place.

And for that matter, Gaudi's Sagrada Familia is only as complete as it is due to CNC stone cutting and other modern machinery.

I just wish, considering these kinds machines exist, that we could have them used to make beautiful building again in general, rather than always plumping for a variation on a glass-and-steel box (perhaps it's simply about the cost, but I do wonder if it's also about what's even possible to draw in AutoCAD for a normal architect!).
Not sure what type of complexity you're referring to, but it handles many file formats, though some better than others. For example, it supports using variables for the version number in Maven but not in GitLab CI. It handles private package repositories, and updates package-lock.json.
A honest-to-God personal website. So refreshing.
I can’t help but feel, if SPA’s keep getting “built wrong”, then at some point, we ought to look at why people keep building them wrong.

Nerd Snipe: Small Integer Parsing
This becomes an issue in any field where people are primarily working to impress their colleagues or others in their field, rather than the customer.

Just look at the divide in architecture between houses sold to people, that are actually made to look inviting and high-quality, vs those huge modern buildings in cities that are mostly designed for "prestige" and to show off.

This only happens in markets where there's no real choice. This would never happen for cars for example because people can choose which car they buy. But if a website has a give UI, you can't choose a different one.
The single biggest reason is that it locks you in, and unless it becomes a standard it's basically useless since people would probably need to go to a dealer to get a battery swap. For the average driver of a BEV, they are rarely going to need a fast charger anyway since just charging at home overnight is good enough for 95% of driving.

That's less of a problem for fleet operators, they could actually have a bunch of batteries at their business sites spread all over a city so a battery swap is never too far away. Fleet vehicles also do more km in a day than the average private vehicle as well, so they WOULD need to use fast chargers a lot more often.

We all miss things, but I agree in principle.

At a certain level, your compensation essentially says "no is not an option". I've never once seen it explicitly stated this way, but it is obvious what the implied expectations are once you are working around these kinds of people for any length of time.

In a healthy organization (a potentially rare thing in the following context), the most responsible employee is the CEO/president. They don't get to make the kinds of excuses that even other senior employees do. In fact, they get to make no excuses at all. There's no backstop behind this person. They are the backstop.

Outsourcing responsibility is the path to the dark side. "Not my problem" is how we wind up in a vicious cycle. If we find our heels in deep, let us try taking a leap of faith on something. We can always return to the crab bucket. They'd be more than happy to pull us back in.
Why do everyone's logo fonts look the same? (2020)
They don't have to be the police. Cloudflare are a private company, not a public utility. They can deny service to anyone they want (within the bounds of the law).

If they want to be a neutral public utility, they can rearrange their business to that effect.
I hear this over and over, but what is the alternative cross-platform stack for building rich local GUI apps? Qt?
Why would it be though? Are they promising businesses to represent them in a fair manner on the Maps, or in Search for that matter?
I live in Georgia and the summer is not a bother at all in my neighborhood because it's so forested. I can take a causal walk outside up until about 90F. Florida was hell even at the same temperatures because palm trees just aren't the same as oaks or pines.
I have found that if I meditate and “focus” on the area where my inner ear/behind my ear is eventually I can quiet the tinnitus some or even completely. I’ve been able to reproduce it three or four different times. I imagine the nerve endings shrinking, receding, or calming down, and it causes some relief. Could be psychosomatic but it is repeatable and the effect lasts

Understanding what a paper says is considerably easier that understanding its limitations. See the questions I asked in the sibling thread for a taste of the difference.

Or think in terms of code: it is easy to understand what some code does, but to understand why it is like that you need to know a lot more about the context surrounding the problem.

Not really, gasifying the coal means you capture all the products, so the carbon is captured by default instead of released into the atmosphere which is what would happen if it were burned in a coal power station instead.

The ideal would be to actually make green Hydrogen, but frankly until the grid is 100% electric anyway it doesn't actually matter what we make with the green energy as long as we build it.
There must be a growing demand for tunnelling machinery, it used to be that a German company made them all, I guess there are another of other companies.

I'd be extremely glad for that, fucking tired of all the political games to keep churning projects a PM wanted for their promotion package, regardless how actually useful it was 2-5 years down the line, usually abandoning the team right after they jump up in their career...

I haven't had a PM for longer than a year or so in a long time. Getting pretty exhausted by the endless cycles of:

1. new PM

2. weeks and weeks of product workshops to define vision/mission/goals

3. teaching the PM how the product works, who are the customers, why it works this way, all the weird business logic cruft

4. PM has a passing knowledge of the product

5. PM decides on a new questionable flashy project after 3-6 months

6. PM gets promotion (or a burnout)

Rinse and repeat.

I wonder what the lifespan of these refrigerators would be. You might think that solid state devices would have longer lifespans, because there's no mechanical wear. But in fact SSDs die faster than spinning disks. Batteries swell and electrodes corrode. It seems like solid state electronics actually tend to be short-lived.

Rousseau probably embodies that more than anyone else, from Emile:

“Every particular society, when it is narrow and unified, is estranged from the all-encompassing society. Every patriot is harsh to foreigners. They arc only men. They arc nothing in his eyes - This is a drawback, inevitable but not compelling. The essential thing is to be good to the people with whom one lives. Abroad, the Spartan was ambitious, avaricious. iniquitous. But disinterestedness, equity, and concord reigned within his walls. Distrust those cosmopolitans who go to great length in their books to discover duties they do not deign to fulfill around them. A philosopher loves the Tartars so as to be spared having to love his neighbors.”
I only know lemon heads, and not even that knee deep with their catalog. 90s was always that depressing drug-fueled era.
The one on the left is the best one by far. However it lacks POIs and they could be useful.

I'm unsure which one is better between the middle and the right one. They are probably at the same level. The middle one has some more POIs. The big difference is that all roads have the same color in the map at the right (the new Google Map) so you have to rely only on thickness/thinness of the line to assess the importance of a road and maybe on its label.
> Definitely not.

Definitely yes. Again, speaking from experience. Yours may be different, but don’t discount mine.

> I'd just tell the raven os and let them google it.

You missed the point entirely. With each step they have to do, you lose someone. The point is to reduce friction so there is a better chance the other person follows the recommendation. You don’t seem to care if the other person ends up searching for or finding the right thing, in which case you’re irrelevant to the point. The conversation is about people trying to maximise success of a recommendation being acted upon.

> Google would find it anyway.

You seem to be unaware, but Google shows different results to different people. All it shows me for several results is a movie called “ravenous”. To other people it shown multiple unrelated projects. At this point you’ve already lost several people.

Yes, I did. And I didn’t get what I was looking for. I was expecting to get at least the web browser but even that did not show up. Please don’t assume you know what other people do or do not do.

> because the bigger issue is that the name is already taken

No, that is not an issue at all. No one made them choose “raven”, a name already in use by multiple projects. The solution to “this name already exists” isn’t “let’s replace a letter”.

You appear to be irrationally angry about this matter. It’s just an internet conversation about naming, it’s not worth raising your blood pressure for. I wish you a calm weekend.

From where I’m standing, American defense spending is inadequately low for the current situation. US is struggling to increase artillery shell production from 15 to 30k per year, when only Ukraine conflict should consume hundreds of thousands, if not millions. Same with many other items — American and NATO stockpiles are low, and production capabilities almost non-existent compared to adversaries.

I don't know how it happened, but I used GKE for a side project, which was overkill for such a small project, and I could live with $100 /month, but the bill kept creeping up to $300 and later $400 with no apparent explanation or workload increase. I had no choice but to revert to something else. Ended up with good old Heroku with $20/month and never regretted it

I’m new to React Native but I think the main benefit is that it can make a native app instead of just a web view. You can have transitions between screens and use native menus, for example.

Take a look at the 3 videos here:

Solito is a thin wrapper around React Native and next.js so make it easier to share as much code as possible between the website and the native apps but still have the apps actually behave like native apps.

It is sad how things turned out regarding the West's relationship with Russia.

Back around the year 2000, it really seemed things in eastern Europe were all moving in the right direction. The entire region was becoming more and more democratic, relations were warming up. Prosperity in Russia was increasing, things in general were looking positive.

It wasn't seriously discussed, and no concrete steps were taken, but there was speculation that Russia might join NATO eventually. There was concern about China (concern which has proved well founded) and having another strong partner in Russia would strengthen the bulwark against them.

But, well, should we really have expected so much from a former KGB officer like Putin? No, he turned into another Russian strongman, seeking only to enrich himself, and determined to only leave power feet-first. He illegally coerced the Russian oligarchs into giving him billions of dollars.

The story of democracy isn't over in the rest of eastern Europe (heck, it isn't over in the USA!), and there have been various partial successes and partial failures (esp. Hungary and Turkey). And the threat and actions of Russia has in turn strengthened the need for NATO.

Edit: I stand corrected - Concrete steps were taken for Russia to join NATO.

The other posts may be correct in that someone with a cloudflare account accidentally pointed a service at your host.

That said, it is a pretty attractive platform if you want to build a scraper that operates either at no cost, or very low cost. Especially if you can aggregate multiple free level accounts without Cloudflare catching on. And it's pretty easy to write a bad scraper that handles things like redirects poorly, and becomes an unintentional DDOS machine.

Dumping the headers of some of the requests could help narrow down which type of Cloudflare service is hitting you.
