I did a thought experiment with made up numbers. I just woke up so forgive me if my numbers don’t add up. At least they can serve as ballpark numbers.

Let’s say a full backup takes 3 hours and an incremental one 3 minutes.

Let’s say I want at most 3 hours of lag in my backups. That would mean 3 hours every 3 hours. That is about 720 hours per month for a full backup or 720 minutes (12 hours) for incremental backups. Let’s say we
Still do a full one once a day then that is still 102 hours per month in total.

Even if you do 1 incremental per hour you’d end up at 36 hours a month. If 3 minutes were true for the every 3 hour scenario, the every 1 hour scenario would also mean shorter backups so maybe 1 minute, which adds up to 12 hours.

All this to say that it might be more efficient.
It certainly helps a lot, but I wouldn't call it a non-issue. It deteriorates the user experience. From the scammer's point of view, with a low barrier to entry, they don't need very many people to fall for it before some number of them will fail to get a refund for whatever reason.

Even if literally nobody loses money, it's adding noise to signal.
Sorry, you are incorrect. I have a house full of Hue devices, for many years now. I also have many houseguests. Not once did I ask any of them (or my wife, for that matter) to use an app to do anything in my home. To turn the light on or off, everyone here either uses Hue switches, or just walk into the space, if it is a common space, where the motion sensors takes care of things.
Which is not surprising. Apple wants you to buy an iPad and a MacBook.
Yes this is what they mean. I've use this setup in the past when for example I wanted to use different SSH keys for bitbucket, gitlab and github for example.

my favorite thing about modern landscape of desktop apps is that… Electron apps are tinkerable! you go to the app's resources folder, extract an asar with one command, and then you can edit the node.js-side files. then, you can just change what the BrowserWindow instance is loading to resources you control, and you have end-to-end control over the entire application
I struggled with the developer experience for Coral TPUs. It's an uphill battle trying to convert models to run on TFLite.

I wish there were a TFLite backend for ONNX Runtime—then you could use the same API and same model file to run accelerated inferences on Coral, CUDA, CoreML, etc. - https://github.com/microsoft/onnxruntime/issues/10248
When I was living in Sealand >20 years ago (another micronation project), was fun tracking the other projects -- this one was one of the most successful. Liberland and a few maritime efforts were as well. Surprisingly few attempts, really.

The new "network state" theories are a lot more interesting overall, though -- creating new groups of people FIRST, then building out progressively more solid physical infrastructure (potentially in different places), then networking them.
That’s fair. It was good faith. Thanks for engaging. I’ll leave it at that.
You are missing the spirit of the whole thing. HTMX is a polyfill for the future state of browsers.
I think you’re partially right. However, big AAA engines will want all that $2000 worth of GPU if they have it available. The difference could be Cyberpunk 2077 on RDNA vs Cyberpunk 2077 on RTX.

I think we’ll see more and more RTX style GPU architectures become integrated as NVidia et al push AI cards on us next year. It won’t be crazy to see 512GB GPU ram with 64GPU cores in the next 5-10 years.
Whatsapp does support UPI in India. To be honest it's a no brainer here imo.

UPI makes sending and receiving money as easy and instant as sending a text, that I can not believe how the rest of world lives without it. Free account to account transfers (upto ~1200USD/day) that work from any bank to any bank, in seconds. Even accessible without internet via ussd short codes.
Precisely. Who accurately predicted the shift from long-haul, high-capacity airliners to smaller, more fuel efficient airliners to fit with a hub-and-spoke model?

Now layer that on top of the decade it takes to get a new plane from drawing board to delivery.

From what I've read, it sounds like Boeing completely lucked into it. It wasn't some smart person who could accurately predict the future.

And to be honest, a lot of companies we think of as being "innovative" and having "foresight" are that way. They made the best business decision they could, based on what was known at the time, and the stars lined up to make it a huge hit.

Saying that a company can plan for future profitability isn't supported by the facts.

I think it's a combination of things and will vary by company.

For the largest companies, it's likely to some extent to put downward pressure on salaries in the market.

For others it can be like the Twitter case were they hired way too many devs for what was needed and that simply makes a bigger communications mess not more productivity.

For others still it's outside pressure to become financially stable or income positive with a reduction in investment capital over time.

The larger economy, the potential for a more widespread military conflict and a number of other factors taking their toll in different ways.

When belts need to tighten, late and expensive projects get cut.

There are still jobs out there, but with remote roles in particular, which I'm personally experiencing. Pay scales are all over the map and there are hundreds of applicants to many jobs out there.

It sucks to be looking and I imagine it sucks to be hiring as well. The latter because of the shear volumes of applicants to sift through.

I will say, I'd rather receive no contact at this point than the boilerplate rejection emails. If there's no substance or advice, it's just a net negative IMO. Used to hate getting dropped. But having to fill out a few dozen applications a day competing against hundreds and seeing the ones where you're less than ideal sucks.

I took 4 months off because I needed to get past the burnout. Now it's just hard getting back in.

Gas stations near highways tend to have big signs you can see from the highway, in addition to being near most offramps in built-up areas. In rural areas, there's usually signs on the highway letting you know when there's a gas station at upcoming offramps and which direction to turn to get there. When there is a large distance between gas stations, there's typically signage letting you know about that too.

I think green methanol is more likely, since that's what global shipping seems to be converging on. Methanol is really just a vector for H2, but you can make it without having to first synthesize H2 (although you can do that too if you want). Depending on the method of production, I've seen efficiency numbers around that of producing LH2, but you get a product that is liquid at STP conditions, which is a huge advantage.

Prince didn’t understand at ALL, but he experimented a lot, repeatedly launching website projects for albums, creating short-lived memberships, failing to deliver e-commerce orders, and generally impatient with both results and his actual fans when we complained.

Prince was ridiculously fickle and capricious, bringing chaos and disorder everywhere he seemed to go, but, quite frankly, we loved that side of it in a world that was highly organized.

In 2014, our little fan group spent days combing Twitter and the news for intel on the next gig and a couple of thousand of us speculatively queued up in Camden ALL DAY - cold and wet - for a possible gig. Turned out to be two gigs in one evening. Did Prince get on Twitter to tell anyone? No. Did he launch a website? No. He did a random press conference a few days before from Lianne La Havas’s tiny flat.

Did he take Bitcoin? No, it was cash on the door.

So much of what he did from about 1994 on was driven by a slightly paranoid suspicion that he was being ripped off somewhere along the line and only he should control how his work was enjoyed, leading him into weird situations with his fans, other bands and musicians (remember his cover of Radiohead’s Creep), and it only really eased up once he STOPPED trying to work with internet technology and realized his performance skills were his bread and butter.

While I absolutely love and adore his music, I consider him to be a control freak and a terrible communicator outside of the studio who couldn’t handle reality, which is probably what helped kill him in the end, along with some dumb beliefs. I could honestly kick Larry Graham in the balls for that.

For plenty of supporting source material, check out Kevin Smith’s incredible answer to a question about Prince, go look up the Hit & Run tour, and the vast swathes of terrible album covers that helped to bury so much of his later work - that and the fact that you couldn’t buy many of these albums in the shops anyway.
I just want them to make more of the USB and PCIe variants. They are so handy for little Frigate NVR boxes—throw one of these on a Pi 4 and you can do at least a few 1080p cameras with person/object detection, or with a Pi 5 I'm able to do a few 4K streams!

Currently the only way to get one is to pay scalper prices like $100+ on eBay or Amazon.

> Why they were ever called file descriptors in the first place

Human laziness, no doubt. What you refer to as "file descriptor" is really a pointer to a file descriptor. It is likely that over time "file descriptor pointer" or "file descriptor handle" was shortened, and then ultimately accepted into the lexicon.
It may not be possible to separate out the effects of ethanol itself from the effects of the toxins and adulterants that are routinely added to alcoholic beverages at all stages.

You see, alcoholic beverages are shielded from most all of the FDA's labeling requirements in these United States, and so if you pick up a bottle of beer, or wine or hard liquor, they don't really have to tell you anything about what's in it, other than the proof and the general category of booze where it fits in.

Of course you have absinthe, which was notoriously adulterated with all sorts of horrible stuff and subsequently banned/regulated out of existence, but I feel like even Bud Light comes with its own profile of nasty crap, just like any other processed food you will eat. So-called "German Beer Purity Laws" can't really protect the drinker from consuming nasty adulterants alongside that sweet, sweet alcohol they need to cope with their miserable lives.
I used it quite a bit since it was bundled with my Magnavox 386. It had a really good suite of office tools and supported some really oddball printers. Wrote quite a few school reports with it. If it would have had more applications I wouldn't have picked up windows.

> file descriptors are... neither files nor descriptors

This is a pretty modern and userspace-centric view of file descriptors IMHO. The "description" part is in the file description table on the kernel side of the userspace/kernel boundary (see struct file[1]) for what are extremely obvious reasons.

Up to V7 UNIX (1973-1979[2,3]), the file description table could literally only reference a file on disk, UNIX domain/TCP/UDP sockets weren't introduced until 4.2BSD.

Your gentle rant makes sense from a modern point of view of course, but we need to keep in mind that the UNIX design is over 50 years old now. You could argue that the 4.2BSD people should have used different tables/names rather than overload the file description table but that ship has sailed and here we are.

> They did. They said it was for performance reasons and offered to book a longer, second call to talk about it.

Who shows up to fire someone without any specifics at all? That is utterly incompetent and completely unprofessional, even for a very large company. Who shows up this unprepared and 100% scripted? HR knows good and well that after being terminated that almost no one will want or will have time for such a follow-up call.

edit: I would also note, that when a company gives an employee positive checkpoints like her manager did throughout, and then you lay that person off, you should expect them to react strongly -- cos said company messed up very badly. Do better Cloudflare.
The problem is that is not one to one. And isolating diet is very hard.
Muslin countries don’t do alcohol, but they smoke a lot more than in comparison to some other countries.
As well as different general diet behaviours.

So as much as your idea has some logic, it is still very hard to get the right picture.

And now if we all are being honest, most of those studies are done with intention of understanding how much one can drink with much harm. So comparing a group of people who doesn’t drink at all with one that drink is not the correct data points.
We all know that alcohol is bad. If people want to be healthy they can simply not drink.
We don’t do studies to understand “how many cigarettes a day is good for your health” we simple know the best amount is zero. But alcohol is deep into our society habits

Agree, Wolfram Alpha is heavily used by some students of physics to do their homework. We sometimes joked that was the main purpose of the service.

Mathematicians probably have trust issues and use tools with a code base that is 3 orders of magnitude smaller.
There were commercial services on the Internet before that too, but note the comment also talked about e.g. phone services, and so more broadly about paying for services, not just internet.

Demagoguery. "We can't exist without large-scale invasive and pervasive tracking" is not a given. It's a narrative pushed by the industry with literally zero proof.

If your business for some reason cannot exist without that, good riddance.

I posted a link detailing exactly the argument for the link you claim does not exist - in a nutshell, ever since Reagan, the richest people in America were able to multiply their earnings at the expense of the working class. They have done so by using the government to enact policies in their favor, and against the workers. Financial deregulation favored them against the interests of the majority of Americans, and their economic and political influence has only grown since then, at the expense of the working class. If you remember, the conversation started because we are talking about the general feeling of people about their well-being, so yes, I believe those things are absolutely connected.

Reaganomics was not restricted to financial deregulation, it was also one of the only periods in American history where the minimum wage was not increased. Reagan opposed unions and defunded worker protection agencies like OSHA. I don't think you have to dig really deep if you are truly interested in a legitimate understanding of what I'm trying to say here. Big if, I know.
This is only true for somewhat old and obsolete Tesla superchargers, like V1 and V2. Since the introduction of Supercharger V3 they're all 400-1000V, so any car, with any internal voltage can charge at their rated speeds.
Not an exact corollary, since Prince never actually performed it for one of his own albums. He had one of his many front bands record it. IIRC, the only Prince versions are a studio demo/outtake (not very good, IMO) and a live version (which is better than the Sinead version, IMO, but is marred by technical issues).

"firing without notice": First, not legal in California where most of their highest skilled people work (Emeryville, last that I knew). These people will probably will receive (very) large severance packages worth months of pay. Plenty of time to find a new job. If they are very high skill, it will be easy to find a new role. Also, reputation for an employer is quickly forgotten if salaries are high enough. Please don't forget how many people went to work on dumb projects at the height of Facebook. After the Metaverse was cancelled and many people were laid off, suddenly a bunch of blog posts appeared: "That place was awful to work, but they paid me lots of money." (Example: Eric Lippert) Investment banking is similar. In short, if you pay enough, there are enough (plenty of?) people who don't care about your reputation.

Generally speaking, you can set the power target of a high-spec GPU below 100% to get most of the performance at significantly reduced power draw. So if you're cost sensitive it's still probably better to get a dGPU, just cap the power.

The dGPUs have more cores and wider memory buses/dedicated memory which delivers higher performance than the space constrained integrated GPUs.
