At a place I was consulting about 10 years ago one of the internal guys on another product dropped the prod database because he was logged into his dev db and the prod db at the same time in different windows and he dropped the wrong one. Then when they went to restore the backups hadn't succeeded in months (they had hired consultants to help them with the new product for good reason).

Luckily the customer sites each had a local db that synced to the central db (so the product could run with patchy connectivity), but the guy spent 3 or 4 days working looooong days rebuilding the master db from a combination of old backups and the client-site data.
The FX spread is fixed at around 25-50bps for Mastercard/Visa due to a settlement long ago. The foreign transaction fee is an additional charge on top of that, usually 3% of the gross transaction volume in USD.

The banks don't control the exchange rate, it's determined by the card network. So yes, when a card advertises 0% foreign transaction fee, it really does mean that they don't take an additional charge on top of the spread (which they don't control or profit from).

It's in fact quite easy to pay less than 100bps for a foreign currency transaction; everybody with a 0% FTF card is doing it right now (especially for high volume corridors like EUR/USD).

> No fees, plus 1% or less FX spread on major currencies. (My preferred credit card promises that.)

You bank can't promise what they don't control; Visa and Mastercard determines FX rates, and they're below 100bps because of an old settlement. So the bank is promising you something they had no role in creating; you're the one here falling for the marketing, not everybody else.
The EU regulations are on interchange fees that are paid between the issuing and the acquiring banks.

With Amex, Amex themselves are both the issuer and the acquirer, so there is no interchange to regulate.

Such as? There are very few places in the world that match the productivity of the U.S. I don't think Luxembourg counts as a counterexample, for instance (population 640K). Singapore, maybe, but its population is under 5.5 million.
HSA requires a high deductible plan, so, no.
I went through a phase in high school where I'd read the last sentence of a book first, and then begin it. It was actually pretty fun because it usually doesn't spoil very much. I stopped because once I did end up spoiling something major. Don't remember what though.

I'm surprised that group therapy for engineers doesn't exist or maybe I just can't find it. I don't work in anything high stakes myself though have often been an ear to those who do in aviation or rail.

I believe that it can be quite hard sometimes if you have empathy and don't take the "Once the rockets are up, who cares where they come down? That's not my department" approach."

Perhaps some peer support group (possibly facilitated) for people that build safety critical systems or deal with the fallout. Not all companies will provide good counseling etc.

Perhaps the engineering boards / chartered engineer organizations should provide this and fund it from their membership fee, though that would probably scare people off going to the service as they could be afraid of losing their stamp / chartered engineer status / license.

Perhaps this would be dealt with in the past by getting drunk with colleagues in the pub, though alcoholism (or being impaired at work the next morning) is bad and pubs etc. are less popular now.

I assume that includes clicks on adds in the Play Store and outside leading into the playstore? I just can't believe that number to be correct unless there's a lot of different money inflow sources included.
Keycloak is fairly easy to maintain. I run a deploy in AWS/ECS, and nearly never needs to be touched... except when an upgrade is required. Every upgrade has been challenging, starting with change to Quarkus, followed by removing dependencies from the docker images.

But when it's not being upgrade, it's fantastic. Many thanks to Red Hat.
The latter, the school boys, are nearly to a one on some kind of psychiatric drug.
If only it were that easy. Yes, you can run it as a docker container and self host.

But self hosting is non-trivial. You have to deal with DNS, TLS certificates, configuring Keycloak, data backups, and redundancy.

I set it up once so I could evaluate it. I may yet choose to self host but I'm not under any illusions that it's easier than paying for a service.

I don't see how it's irrelevant when it was the very thing that inspired the project in the first place. After all, I had no idea what I was looking at based on the video and brief description, but after reading about how IFF works, I understood what the video was showing

I also saw that it had the GIF tag, but is that really a GIF? If so, that's the best quality GIF and maybe the longest one I've ever seen. Something seems amiss with that tag
That is very nicely explained, easy to understand and informative.
Thanks for this, almost forgot it.

Wayland forwarding over SSH: done
From reading the developer anecdotes in here I think it’s worth mentioning that if just one person can bring down the whole enterprise, a hacker only needs a point of entry to do the same.

For our databases we have separate credentials, compartmentalized access and disallowed “dangerous” commands. This now seems like obviousness, but we only got this years in. Thankfully, no (major) incidents have occurred to this date.
I hope life extension technology develops at a pace quickly enough that I can give it to my dad as a birthday gift.
At this point it might be time to stop using the service handling your company's auth, which is supposed to be the most secure link in the chain, yet is being hacked every quarter.
The key to scaling Rails applications is effective use of caching (at multiple levels).

For an online store (compared to, say, a live action game) so much of the content that you serve will be cached that regardless of your apps runtime a lot of the user experience will be defined by how effective your caching strategy is.

I think that Rails still offers enough compelling advantages for developer productivity to offset the (possibly) higher hosting costs.

Although they probably spend most of their time on the application layer, I suspect the most important and trickiest work was done to scale the database.
I am! I pay for apps and IAPs if they're useful.
Anyone can put their hat in the ring and get into management. I wasn’t born with a silver spoon, I had no connections, and I attended a weak school. I worked my fucking ass off and networked everywhere I could. I built a reputation.

If you can convince people that you are deserving of leadership, you have the guts to put yourself on the line in front of tens or hundreds or thousands of people, go ahead. This is your life and the people you are responsible for. If you do this and want to work for peanuts, be my guest. I get paid what the market thinks I’m worth.
I’m not sure what you mean by direct comparison here. I believe the official government inflation stats do consider the relative cost of things, otherwise they would be totally nonsensical for the reason you mentioned.
This bigoted, and frankly deranged misconception about small towns perfectly explains why someone would rather live in squalor and complain rather than move to a small town.

You'll notice everything is on an installment plan. Your mortgage, your CC, your insurance. It's all financialized, and all becomes cashflow and interest rate limited.

The goal of the Fed is to _crash the economy just in time for the election_ oops I mean control inflation.
This is a good idea, and something that I need, although I think I will just go for a google doc to document my house since it needs to be edited by non techies too
They pioneered the modern private equity playbook. Ultimately, they're largely responsible for transitioning the economy based on driving productivity through innovation, to driving "productivity" (if you can call it that) through financial engineering. Absolute evil.
As an Airbnb host, I have done this sort of thing for my guests and my own usage, but with a "flat" structure: a simple, searchable inventory (https://maisonrougevernet.fr/inventaire) which doubles as technical documentation for some items (with optionally links to PDFs, videos, etc.).
> how can you fire the business leader?

Ummm... why wouldn't you fire the business leader in that situation? He locked the company in to a niche market that was subject to the volatility of fashion choices when he could have had his feather techs fletching arrows or stuffing pillows. Had the bet paid off, he'd reap the benefits.
> Well the mainstream media is normally on the anti-Israel side

This is fundamentally not true. In fact, media figures in the 2010s lost their jobs for supporting Palestine.

It's well cited and provides tables that show the different claims between different forces (Hamas, IDF, US, independent NGOs). Who do you uncritically believe?
to me, it shows the system has been tuned so that when the hand held unit is operational that the signal is generating the spike on the scope. i'm not sure what the power output is that it needs to be so close, but it's a good PoC of understanding of the concept and being able to build a functioning system.

>do laws adequately protect people (kids)? Can they? Will this force a shift towards actually chasing producers, distributors, and diddlers?

It's extremely complicated. Actual CSAM is very illegal, and for good reason. However, artistic depictions of such are... protected 1st Amendment expression[0]. So there's an argument - and I really hate that I'm even saying this - that AI generated CSAM is not prosecutable, as if the law works on SCP-096 rules or something. Furthermore, that's just a subset of all revenge porn, itself a subset of nonconsensual porn. In the US, there's no specific law banning this behavior unless children are involved. The EU doesn't have one either. A specific law targeted at nonconsensual porn is drastically needed, but people keep failing to draft one that isn't either a generalized censorship device or a damp squib.

You can cobble together other laws to target specific behavior - for example, there was a wave of women in the US copyrighting their nudes so they could file DMCA 512 takedown requests at Facebook. But that's got problems - first off, you have to put your nudes in the Library of Congress, which is an own goal; and it only works for revenge porn that the (adult) victim originally made, not all nonconsensual porn. I imagine EU GDPR might be usable for getting nonconsensual porn removed from online platforms, but I haven't seen this tried yet.

I'm disgusted, but not surprised, that teenage kids are generating CSAM like this. Even before we had diffusion models, we had GANs and deepfakes, which were almost immediately used for generating shittons of nonconsensual porn[1].

They are intentional and the direct effect of raising interest rates (aka: sucking up liquidity). Liquidity has to come from somewhere and since it's the interest rate being raised here, it comes up from everywhere it can come up (ie: SVB bank blowing up). But I guess 401K holders don't have Janet Yellen to help bail them out.

By the way, since people are pulling money of their retirement accounts, this is new liquidity hitting the market or, essentially, inflation. The deflation, in this case, will happen at the people's retirement time; or on a very long-term interval (people trying to raise their 401k again by spending less). The only positive outlook is that this can convince paper holders that the Fed is strict and disciplined and ask them to trust the paper a little more.

The damage of the Covid liquidity package will be felt for years, if not decades.
Editorialized title, should read "The impact of recreational cannabis markets on motor vehicle accident, suicide, and opioid overdose fatalities"

Also from the abstract "On average, recreational markets were associated with an 11% reduction in opioid overdose fatalities."

Also from the abstract "This study found no evidence that recreational markets impacted suicides."

Note, this is a meta-analysis of other studies, not an original study itself
So the goal is to have unified interface for every tool you’ve just mentioned
Agreed.

At the same time any home automation needs to be able to be cloud and vendor independent.

It begins with registering the property an independent email address for any accounts used during setups before taking them offline. Easy to manage for future tenant or sale.

Gear is more able to be cloud independent or be made cloud independent, leaving a greater chance to leave at most a local wifi network and local appliance with touch screen (pi) that can peacefully operate without the internet, plugged in and hung on a wall like any other appliance in a mechanical room of the home.

The more off the shelf parts can be, the greater the chance of it surviving.
If the data is already represented in a knowledge graph - say, in a graph database - then is that data more conducive for deep learning because it's in a structured or more useful format?
Amazon Cognito is an attractive option for authentication since it has a good free tier and is relatively inexpensive even outside of the free tier.

The downside I ran into is that it doesn't support SAML SSO. It is only OAuth, OpenID Connect, and JWT.
I had to upgrade a project from rails 4.2 to 5.0 and it took like 3 weeks because things just broke randomly.

Upgraded a .NET 4.7 project to .NET 6 in 3 days and haven’t touched it since. And the .NET project was larger.

I haven’t done rails since that upgrade and I hope i never have to touch it again.
I need either big thick closed cell foam earplugs, or earplugs with a silicone triple flange. Over the years, I've tried everything I can find, and nothing else seems to work.

Etymotic seems to have the best triple flange ear tips I've found, but the earphones themselves are fragile and easy to break. Shure has good in-ear monitors, but their triple flange ear tips are too hard, and hurt. But the Etymoic eartips will fit on the Shure IEMs.

But none of those are noise cancelling, and none of those are wireless. So, for the purpose of blocking out sound at night while trying to sleep, none of that helps.
Taking extreme ownership of things might make you feel very uncomfortable while starting, but its makes things a lot more easier as they go, because you are for better or worse in control.

You either way in control, you just wish to not exercise it if you don't take extreme ownership of things.

Reminded of two things while we are at it. Sam Altman, once told this in a class - Its easier to start a hard company, than to start an easy company. Then something I heard on Joe Rogan- The more you indulge yourself in doing hard uncomfortable things, the more easier and content it gets as it goes. Its the people who do the easy things that end up bad.

“Tom, don't let anybody kid you. It's all personal, every bit of business. Every piece of shit every man has to eat every day of his life is personal. They call it business. OK. But it's personal as hell. You know where I learned that from? The Don. My old man. The Godfather. If a bolt of lightning hit a friend of his the old man would take it personal. He took my going into the Marines personal. That's what makes him great. The Great Don. He takes everything personal Like God. He knows every feather that falls from the tail of a sparrow or however the hell it goes? Right? And you know something? Accidents don't happen to people who take accidents as a personal insult.” ― Mario Puzo, The Godfather

One of the greatest pieces I’ve read on extreme ownership.
90% of the world's compute power is not cloud. Guesstimate from the traffic patterns at telecom (including non internet capacity).
Having been involved in both sides of other certifications before (not FedRAMP specifically though) my level of trust in them is through the floor. So much meaningless box ticking & not much actual substance.
> The Department of Correction :currently charges 12 cents per minute, and most county sheriffs charge 14 cents per minute — forcing cash-strapped prisoners, or their families, to spend $2.40 and $2.80 for a 20-minute call in addition to extra fees for putting money into an account

> Counties will be refunded for their calls’ costs through a fund facilitated by the Executive Office of Administration and Finance, according to Tenneriello. Telecommunication contracts with companies like Securus will continue until they expire, and will be renegotiated.

This isn't quite clear; will the state be reimbursing county prisons at the rate of $0.14/min? Because if so this is outrageous, calls do not cost that much to make, and now there's a perverse incentive for municipal entities to encourage calls in order to siphon funds from the state.

The devil really is in the details here.

Sometimes the library pushes easier to a cloud.

Managing storage and more can still be work and worth doing as a second step since most of the time it’s worth doing the setup over at least one more time.
One is not like the other.

Humans have eat potatoes for about 8000 years. So that seems to be a pretty large scale experiment.

While deciding to put a safe amount of a dangerous material on a product used in large scale is not a good decision.

Not sure how to explain (as I have little time now) but here is a simple way:
- both potatoes and led have safe and dangerous levels
- one - potato - was used since at least 8000 years ago
- the other was not used on such large scale

It seems to me that we need to define safe levels in other way:

- safe levels on small scale and uses rarely

- safe levels on large scale or used constantly
It depends who the end user is. As an aid for a trained physician, who is in a better position to spot the hallucinations, it may be fine, whereas a self-medicating patient could be at risk.
We absolutely need more resources in healthcare throughout the world, and it may be that these models, or even AGI, have great potential as a companion for e.g. Doctors Without Borders or even at the local hospital in the future. But there’s quite a bit more nuance to giving medical advice compared to perfecting a self driving car.
So you think the fed wants to get the opposition party elected?
There really is starting to be a case for more remote control only smart home automation .. and then learning to handle those remote commands.

Seafile (a file sync storage) is inspired by git to store the files (internally there are repositories, branches and commits). However the file are not stored directly:

> A file is further divided into blocks with variable lengths. We use Content Defined Chunking algorithm to divide file into blocks.

> This mechanism makes it possible to deduplicate data between different versions of frequently updated files, improving storage efficiency. It also enables transferring data to/from multiple servers in parallel.

I use it on old PC without issue. Drawback: since the files are not stored in clear, in case of data corruption of the Seafile repositories, I need backup (never happened to me).

Pick one. And note that all of those GUI toolkits still work on Windows 11, AFAICT.

Touch screens work even on old VB6 programs, for example. Try that on Linux and watch the tears flow. This is my point.

Everything is locked together and tested together. The OS, the toolkit, the input mechanism, the video driver, etc. all get developed together and don't need 4 layers of ill-defined abstraction between them.
To be fair, when people host their own email we end up with them also not patching the exchange servers and subsequently getting hacked anyway.
I absolutely don't think that businesses exist to make jobs. You'll never find me saying so. Continue on my own analogy, thinking businesses exist to make more jobs is just like thinking they exist to use water. It would be crazy if anyone said it out loud this way.
I’d be interested in talking to the team at Boeing.
come checkout phoenix. you get a lot of the same batterries included benefits of ror but the architecture is more moduler. runtime performance is closer to go-lang and there's a really fantastic websocket and reactive frontend system built in. Erlang OTP takes it a whole other level beyond that too if you're trying to scale up.
To reduce inflation, it's fine for people to be able to buy things at current prices. What you want to prevent is them being fine with buying things at current price plus 10% compounding every year.
When you're evaluating solutions make sure to look into Authentik too. For my small company needs it was much much easier to understand and setup and it's only gotten better and more featureful.
True, but Vanguard has "too big to fail" insurance.
When you layoff large numbers of people, WFH makes it easier.

When you need to start a company or do a hiring push, being in an office can help.

In a company that only hires high seniority employees, WFH vs office doesn't matter much.

What about all the QE printing post 2008 crisis? Didn't that have a lot to with the present house price inflation? Not all of course but shouldn't that QE printing share some of the inflation blame?
