A video streaming platform isn't a natural fit for a hosting service famous for charging outrageous rates for outgoing traffic. If they were neither owned by Amazon nor had a special deal with AWS (like Netflix presumably has) they wouldn't be using AWS for anything touching actual videos.
For one of the same drugs discussed above by Traubenfuchs? If so, unless I've misread the discussion, that looks like 12-140 times cheaper depending on which drug and exactly where in the 1000-9999 GPB it was?
Hey!
Yeah, using cargo install --git should work. You should just make sure that ~/.cargo/bin is in your PATH.
Whats the benefit of an announcement like this versus just laying people off? This has to be terrible for the productivity of the staff
Ah right. Vec of vecs and the interior Vec has wasted capacity due to the reduction of the element size. Thanks!
Yeah, there needs to be some teeth in rules against such things. Not simply honor deals, but a deal that's offered and then not given should be made more favorable to the consumer.

And we need to go to nationwide one-party recording rules.
Reiser himself is on the record as stating that he killed her because he was protecting his children. Whether that passes that bar or not I'll leave up to you but for me it rules out that this was a 'heat of the moment' thing. In my opinion he knew full well what he was doing, he understood that his kids would move to Russia and be raised there (she got sole custody) and this was his way of putting a stop to that.
> Wood construction is generally a good thing from a sustainability perspective

This is something a lot of people get confused about^. To summarize, each ton of wood used in constructions takes approx 1 ton of CO2 out of the atmosphere (cellulose is basically solidified carbon and oxygen), whereas each ton of concrete used in construction puts approx 100kg of C02 into the atmosphere.

^ "You're cutting down treeees, oh the humanity!"
These concerns are overblown. Unless you're a criminal, nobody's looking inside your VM. Heck, AWS can't access VMs (of course it's Internet cool to not believe this).
This is...so oblivious to trauma that it's hard to respond.

The perpetrator (or the situation, in cases of unforeseeable accidents) makes you a victim. You do not.

Many, many wounds are debilitating for life. Body parts don't grow back, and the fact that the scar doesn't hurt as much as the gaping wound when your arm came off doesn't give you the ability to use the arm. You have to learn how to function in a world designed around two-armed people even though you can't have yours back.

Neural pathways that didn't form correctly because your childhood lacked safety similarly aren't replaceable. There is no amount of thinking about it differently that undoes what happened.

You can never be a person these things didn't happen to. You can become someone who understands that they did happen in the past, that they changed you, but that they are not happening now.

You will always have to approach reality as someone who went through what you went through, but that isn't the same as living your whole life as though it's still happening in the present.
Myself and many others are betting on Zig in major ways, I truly think it has a bright future ahead.

In spare time, myself and a few others are working on a game engine in Zig[0], and the Zig core team has been very receptive to addressing issues our project faces and supporting us.

Others are working on pixel art editors[1], open source 2D RPG games[2], there's a group of independent folks working on a 3D massive immersive sim game[3], a group working on making Zig an amazing language for micro-controllers[4], etc.

Please consider donating $5-10 a month to the ZSF! They are a great group of people, and it has so many knock-on effects for others in the FOSS community. :)

This I totally agree with (US companies should abide by US law). It's the moralizing that gets under my skin.
Seems like you’d get a lot of the same benefits with GraphQL on a scalable backend like AWS Lambda.

Every page can use a (named) query for just the objects needed, and just the fields of those objects.
Why are these people wearing safety helmets? Does this imply that everyone living under the kites will have to wear one too?
We need to keep in mind the framing of this- it’s a discussion about commuting vs wfh. In the universe of locations where that’s a serious conversation the US is an outlier in terms of poor public transit.
> I have seen firsthand that non-US teams building software for US consumers often don't quite understand the reasoning behind the requirements and may lack polish around basic things like English

Something I'm curious about, have you seen this happen with countries culturally close to the US? Like teams based in Canada, Ireland, or the UK?
I think this Conor McGregor's take on the issue...
> PaaS is always going to offer less for the same price, but what surprised me was how start the difference can be. On Render.com, a 4GB RAM and 2vCPU service costs $85/mo. The same spec costs $14/mo on Scaleway (ARM).

I notice a trend that the people who scoff at hardware specs are usually the same ones standing in line for 2 cores and 4gb of RAM for $50+/month. They'll laugh when you suggest utilizing an obsolete $50 computer with a decade old CPU (that's just sitting in a closet), but more than willing to spend $50/month on similar performing hardware from a Cloud vendor.
Another example that I think captures the spirit of autoexec’s point is credit fraud.

Are you the one taking out credit cards and potentially tanking your credit score? No.

Does it still negatively impact your life? Yes, because the information landlords/banks receive from credit unions only shows the low credit score.

Do the banks/landlords care about the fact that it’s fraud? No.

It’s ultimately YOU who has to do all the leg work to report the fraud, make sure that your credit history is fixed, and that your credit is frozen as a deterrent to for future fraud issues.
> This is simply not true. This sounds like gaslighting in an attempt to rewrite history, which IMHO shows poor credibility from the JDK developers.

I'm sorry, but default access was not changed until JDK 16. Here's the relevant section from JDK 9's JEP 261 (https://openjdk.org/jeps/261#Relaxed-strong-encapsulation):

In this release the strong encapsulation of some of the JDK's packages is relaxed by default... --illegal-access=permit opens each package in each module in the run-time image to code in all unnamed modules, i.e., to code on the class path, if that package existed in JDK 8. This enables both static access, i.e., by compiled bytecode, and deep reflective access, via the platform's various reflection APIs... This mode is the default in JDK 9.

> Yes, and Rust has "unsafe". Java still has JNI. If programmers want to write unsafe code, they will write it, to the point of shipping a modified JVM. It's their computers. It's their code. It is a misguided and fruitless effort to push ideology on them.

And Java will still gives you access to unsafe operations (even after this change) albeit with a flag that serves a similar purpose to Rust's unsafe, only done better. The goal is not to impose an ideology on programmers. If you read the JEP, the goal is for them, and the runtime, to know which invariants can be trusted and which can't (e.g. the JIT might want to optimise things based on the assumption that strings are final, but using unsafe code or native code makes that untrue). That's why JNI will also require a flag. As it is today, neither the runtime nor the application developer is able to know whether there's some code that could mess about with their assumptions.

> I don't buy this.

It literally says that on the front page of java.com: "Get Java for desktop applications." OTOH, the developer website, https://dev.java/, lets developers download JDKs only, as JREs no longer exist.
Theres a field of auto-immune disorders, where patients suffer from their own immune system. I believe they would disagree with you.

He's not sharing the key itself, just proof that it's been leaked. Unlike disclosing a security issue without warning, this disclosure doesn't give any bad actors and power they didn't already possess. (Because any bad actors who have the key would already know what TLS certs it matches, or could trivially find out by querying CT logs themselves.)

The metric system wasn’t a factor, it was all economics as laid out in the article. Tooling both foreign and domestic was/is a mixture of imperial and metric to meet certain markets. The major force behind machining, automotive, did their conversions to metric back in the 1970s. The U.S. was seriously lacking in computerized machining and had plenty of time to shift to metric based machines, but the MBAs had already determined long before that they preferred overseas manufacturing at a fraction of the cost.

Machining today is heavy metric, even in the U.S. and there is still no economic way to make it all work, much like with steel production and other manufacturing concerns.
That's a good point. Last I checked I pay $15 for a static IP.

For access, i feel something UX-friendly powered by wireguard could do the trick. My own use is to just flip the "connect to my home server" button in wireguard and then I have access to everything. I leave it on most of the time but still have to toggle it if things get weird. Seems like that ought to be able to be wrapped in something prettier.

I def think a "box you set up" is the right way to do it.
Ads also physically influence the world. More humans become aware of something other humans want them to be aware of, more people end up buying some things (thereby incentivizing more of them to be created) or spending their lives on the most addictive mobile gambling thing or whatever. Whereas a system that just lets people say "this thing entertained me enough for 0.00023% of my economic output for the year doesn't do anything else, and deciding typing in how much something is worth to you is work. Not a lot of work, but it's still work that might even be worth more than your micro donation, depending on how you value your time and the neurons you dedicate to thinking about it. So obviously the system that actually does something is more viable.

In many cases, we have them for the specific purpose of criminalizing nonwhite people and political dissidents.
Rust also has hash sets (implemented internally with a hashmap) and B-Tree sets (implemented internally with a B-Tree map). They aren't really basis though, but in Rust almost nothing is.

Do note that Threads was also not available in Europe when it launched, and I think that only changed a couple of weeks ago.
Their job is to enforce the law. It doesn't seem quite right to denigrate them and call them not bright for doing their job. Shouldn't you be blaming someone else and not the people in the trenches? Also, I'm not sure its so black and white about how drug prohibition has caused more harm than good. I definitely wouldn't want to live in Portland or SF and some of the people stuck in the throws of inescapable addiction might disagree with you.
Yeah, that's sailboard territory, or a small dingy with no intention of going fast.
What Is Scalability Anyway?
I'd say the real root is that police and their departments are allowed to harm people and then just wring their hands of the damage rather than ever having to make their victims whole. The harshest repercussion they worry about is having to do extra paperwork. This applies to everything from simple detainment through wrongful arrest and outright homicide. We'd be a lot less outraged if the people arrested with flimsy tests, dog shows, profiling, etc and then later acquitted were ultimately compensated for their time, emotional distress, and legal representation - out of the overall budget for the criminal justice system. This would be a proper accounting for the externalities of law enforcement, rather than the current perverse reverse lottery for those who unluckily fall into their sights.
It wasn’t an ADS-B, Transport Canada (the FAA equivalent in Canada) doesn’t like ADS-B on drones yet, so the solution was to have an SDR (BladeRF, full-duplex for Tx/Rx), the on-board SBC had a server the received the voice sample (either direct through ground station MIC or automated reading directions, alt, etc every X period of time) and then broadcasting it to the airband, so it’s simply:

Ground station mic -> internet -> server on SBC -> SDR -> airband (AM, I think it was ~120Mhz that time) -> other pilots

If you have the manual communication (where the drone pilot comms and not an automated broadcast), you can pretty much talk with pilots as if you are on-board.

I had a better write up if interested on how it works in here, in the “SDR” section.

I may have interpreted the problems addressed in the article differently.

Certainly, privacy incidents can occur due to mishandling of sensitive information (i.e., secrets, identifiers). Addressing these are a no-brainer and something that technology can and should address.

I interpret the article as addressing a second kind of privacy issue that isn't due to mishandling. Instead, it's part of the profit model for many major tech companies: advertising. In this case, the privacy issue isn't a mishandling, it's by design and explicitly disclosed in the Terms of Service.

(I can't say which one is a bigger issue at large, but I believe policy is needed to address the second issue).

>local HTTP interface

A lot of the worst IoT vulnerabilities in the past have been due to exactly that. 'Local' unfortunately isn't something decided at design time, it's decided when someone connects it to a network. Most people plugging these devices in don't have any clue how to simultaneously secure them and connect them to the internet, so they often end up directly on the internet with default credentials or with outdated vulnerable software and a port open. That's the biggest reason all of the major players now just close all inbound ports and reach outbound to a cloud service. It checks both boxes of usability and network security with even the most misguided user.

Yes, this arrangement sucks for people who know better. But we aren't the people in the user stories.
Can you list the sources.
The Yahoo api is pretty quick for some sports but I want to know where they get their data from as well.
Yes, it's a machine with many moving parts. There's bearings, gears, ball screws, lead screw, belts, etc. There's also multiple precision ground surfaces that wear unevenly because some parts of the surface get far more use than others.

The bed tends to accumulate damage over time, as try as you might, you'll eventually drop something heavy on it.

A lot of it is very much fixable, but I suppose that eventually one decides it's too much to bother, especially if something is damaged is badly enough, or the lathe is old enough and it doesn't make much business sense to fix it.

If you abuse a machine badly enough you can get something bent to the point it's not really worth fixing.
Really cool idea. Unfortunately, the proportions are somewhat broken on the Oasis (the text bar stretches a bit less than half way across the screen). Was the page designed to be pixel perfect for the Paperwhite?
I honestly don't see the drama in most European cities, it's not like in NYC. Street parking is very limited in bigger cities, so you might need to park in expensive parking garages. Or use other methods of travel.

Only in areas with a lot of old houses (built before cars were a thing) there might be a lack of garages.

Owning/driving a car is generally very expensive in many European countries. Not like in the US where wages are rather high, but cars and gas extremely cheap, because there is no substantial tax on them.

Edit: this might not apply to southern Europe. In some southern European cities it's impossible to go by car. That's why everyone drives a scooter.

A few years ago I made a tool that fetches content from a big list of primary sources (via RSS or HTML), and pushes each link it finds through filters (keyword blacklist, duplicate check, etc). I made a UI that lets me accept or reject links Tinder style, and when I have a scrap of time to fill, I assess a few links.

I also have a small group of well-read friends who make an effort to send me stuff, that helps a lot too.

It feels icky in a way I can't describe. Its heavily focused on cryptocurrency, touts security but isn't actually what it says, and is kinda filled with people trying to look cooler then the next guy. Bit of a gathering of the bros vibe. I like the concept but not what it is right now.

Interestingly, the very first statement is quite misleading. The statement:

> On average, a humble wind turbine uses less land area per megawatt-hour than almost any other power source.

The article itself refers to this citation [1]. It says, unsurprisingly, that the most land efficient power source is nuclear. The statement is of course technically true because it says "almost any power source".

With wind, however, even that is tricky because you can either count just the area directly below the turbine body, which is still higher than nuclear and unreasonably optimistic because you severely limit a far bigger area. If you count also the spacing (too pessimistic on the other hand because part of the land might be used for farming) then wind farms range across the whole scale of land efficiency.

I think its fair to say that land use of wind farms is "complicated", but saying its almost the best in this regard sounds like manipulation.

I think that Java's record on compatibility is unmatched, and users are extremely happy with all the enhancements we've been delivering, which why Java's popularity remains sky-high. But no product can satisfy everyone forever, and if you're unhappy, we'd like to try and address the issues you have; if we can't, we'd be sad to see you go, but we certainly don't wish to hold you hostage.
> renewables offer substantially lower risk and quicker timelines than nuclear, so that's where the money seems likely to go.

You do the same as every other market, you make those companies pay for the externalities.

So they don't only pay for renewables but renewables + gas plants (and their environmental costs) + batteries + whatever else is necessary in a real grid.
After reading your comment I'm wondering if we have read the same article. It's pretty self evident that adding an extra staircase takes up significant space as everyone who has tried to design a floor plan will tell you. For larger buildings it's not just the area of the stairwell, but also the corridor that has to connect the 2 of them.

I can also confirm that most apartment buildings in Germany, France, Scandinavia, Austria and Italy (that I'm familiar with) have only 1 stairwell (note that's different to exists, many have at least 2 exits). From what I have seen they apartments (like the article asserts) tend to have much nicer layouts with more light.

> If the accuracy of the data are not intrinsic to their value, then data brokers could literally just manufacture data. “Is this person X?” flips coin “yes!” Who are you to say otherwise? We have a vast network of blah blah data sources and advanced AI inferencing. They would absolutely do this if they could get away with it because it is dramatically cheaper.

Yes they could, and I suspect that some actually do stuff dossiers with total fabrications. The accuracy of the data being collected and the targeting itself is known to be very questionable(see https://joindeleteme.com/blog/incognito-september-2023-data-... and https://www.forbes.com/sites/augustinefou/2021/04/19/ad-rele... and https://news.ncsu.edu/2022/03/new-study-reveals-why-facebook... and https://www.forbes.com/sites/augustinefou/2021/05/05/why-is-...) and I don't know a single person who feels like every ad they see is relevant to them.

Measuring the effectiveness of advertising has always been difficult. Targeted ads can be very effective at times, and at others do no better (or worse) than chance. The many clear failures of targeted advertising hasn't hurt the industry though and it isn't likely to either. Now companies are advertising AI as the new thing to increase their accuracy. How well that works for them remains to be seen.
Companies are also really good at coming up with values and creating bonus structures that incentivize going against those values. Most companies like to say they value teamwork and collaboration, but also give out individual awards to people who do the most visible work while ignoring the contributions of the 100 other people that made a project succeed. Nothing kills morale faster than giving awards and bonuses to the manager that forced massive overtime to complete a project, and giving the team a pizza party.
