I love this, it's got that "technical correctness is the best correctness" vibe going on big-time, and it will probably change the way I see that slice of the world.

Butterflies loom weirdly large in my life, at one point many years ago my grandmother decided that butterflies were my wife's "thing" (they aren't, we're not sure how this happened), and so for many years we got butterfly-themed gifts from her. It was merely odd, so we just rolled with it, but now we have various butterfly tchochkes around, all of which, a brief survey reveals, are in the dead pose.

There's no path from point A to point B.

Building crab fishing boats doesn't have an evolution that leads to building nuclear submarines anymore than manufacturing charm bracelets or ready-to-eat delivery meals. The requisite materials, logistics, and labor expertise are effectively unrelated to one another and separated by mountains in terms of capital and material resources.

As was said before, the only way in is basically to buy into an existing operation, at which point where you got the money from originally is irrelevant.

I've had a very similar experience to yours. It allowed me to quickly understand why we see their job postings littered across the web at such a high rate over the years. My take away was that they demand more than they are willing to provide.
> zombie emoji for "human" or a steak image for "cow"

I think a better analogy is Vetruvian Man [1]. In fact, I think it's a pretty good analogy because it shows a human splayed out in almost exactly the same unnatural way that canonical dead butterflies are. Personally, I don't find either one particularly disturbing. Each serves a purpose IMHO.

I migrated to Joplin from Evernote. I can live with a slightly less polished UI. However the main issue is the time it takes to come up (launch) on my Windows 32GB RAM, Intel i7 laptop. It’s terribly slow to come up.

Ah the old hosts file blocklist trick. I tried that 20 years ago, but my dopamine craving brain wasn't fooled. Paul Graham tried owning two computers, one without internet https://paulgraham.com/distraction.html . That too didn't work for him. My current strategy is to only use an RSS reader in my browser. HN posts with x upvotes, a few twitter accounts, a few facebook accounts, a few youtube channels, and a few substacks are all I see. No ads, no infinite feed. Every hour or so I can go to the feed trough and consume a few posts. Feels healthier. The distractions are there but the faucet is limited to a drip.

The “this is no different than before!” argument is dismissible on its face. As evidenced by NVDA’s trillion dollar valuation and the hundreds of billions being deployed into AI companies — that’s not because they’re building stuff that makes the world just the same as it was before.

Ah yes, middle school/high school bullies: famously disempowered by things like plausible deniability. The suffering caused by bullying and harassment: powerless in the light of plausible deniability.

AFAICT the people who would be close to this issue (e.g. people who pay attention to online harassment, teen mental health, and child pornography) come to a different prediction as far as impact. I’m far more inclined to believe them than people leveling an argument that, as I said, can just as readily defend murder, car thefts, and medical malpractice. All the suffering is just in people’s heads and all of it can be eliminated by proliferating the behavior to sufficient degree.
ive been using this for a few weeks and im impressed at its results. no signup is key for me, i can share it around to anyone and they just get the info and then can start using it also. IMO the answers are fine for my tasks as a a substiute for a junior dev. its slightly faster then searching google cause it saves me a few clicks - handy if your already screen sharing with someone and just looking to fact check.

I used to love it, but it's getting on my nerves with all the politically correct BS.

I don't think what you're talking about is aliasing: it's more to do with the statistics of sampling. Though even then I still don't quite get what you mean: if a bounds check is 20% of your runtime then you're going to see it in your samples pretty quickly. If it's a small enough fraction of your runtime that you don't expect to see it in millions of samples, then why is it relevant to your performance? Now, if you're worried about latency outliers, I can see why sampling may not be a useful tool, but again I don't think the reason for that is really aliasing.
KYC and AML do very little to actually address any risks related to money laundering. But they’re very powerful tools that banks use to push their customers around and control how they use their money (somehow usually in ways that benefit the banks of course).
Unless the fidelity of the material (be it visual or audial) exactly matches that of the real world[0], there is no truly accurate depiction of reality you can convey to the observer—and with any lossy representation you have to make choices as to how to represent it. You will have adopted a “look” whether you want it or not; it is very much part of your creative effort (the less of it, the more work and creative choices are left up to the observer to filter). Basing your look on the preexisting and familiar is good because your work does not exist in vacuum; your observers carry common cultural baggage in context of which it is perceived.

The look furthers your creative goals—conveys a mood or a feeling, focuses observer’s attention on what you consider important, etc. Here, fidelity works against you. All the figurative flare—be it compressing dynamic range, selecting your color palette, artificially lowering the frame rate, adding motion blur, film grain, lens artifacts and literal flares, etc.—lowers it selectively.

That particular kind of flare can absolutely be misplaced, sure. For example, cartoon animation styles is an example of another extreme but quite well-established look, and arguably incompatible (the fidelity is already very selective from the get-go). Less extreme is 3D animation, where lens flare and the like can sometimes look uncanny.

The case of dead butterflies, similarly, exists in cultural context. In some (most?) cultures, the symbol of the butterfly would represent something very far from death. However, once the awareness of the difference between a dead and alive butterfly is widespread enough, then one simply must adapt and adopt that new context because you are risking the dead butterfly to be interpreted as an intentional statement.

There is also the possibility to use Braille to encode binary data in cards, even though it was designed mainly for reading and writing.

I wonder if instead of disrupting U.S. shipbuilding, it would be more cost effective to figure out containerization of weaponry. Figure out how to land a drone in a shipping container and you might be able to turn any standard civilian container ship into an aircraft carrier with 1000 drones, 10x the air wing of a modern fleet carrier. You also trivialize logistics for this - the armaments, fuel, spare drones, sensors, etc. also go in containers, and resupply could be done at any container port and carried by any other container ship.

There's a long history of this in both world wars, eg. auxiliary cruisers and escort carriers, and they were fairly effective. See eg. the Battle of Samar, where 18 escort carriers and their destroyer escorts took on most of the Japanese battle fleet and won.
I see dead butterflies.
Ukraine has implemented a draft, but software developer is still a highly paid position there. Many other countries have compulsory military service. So that really depends on your perspective. The US is different due to its power and geography. The draft in the US was hugely unpopular, so is likely but going to happen again, at which point, by that definition, we'll never get there. But, like you said, "I'll know it when I see it."
Well, if all it takes to be a marxist is suggesting that people take individual action to change a socially undesirable situation, I guess I’m a marxist.

But I mean with definitions that broad, who wouldn’t be? I guess it’s useful for trying to shut down conversation, but I’m not sure what other utility it holds.
God, I've just had flashbacks to my childhood.
Not sure what kind of apps this is but I can't see the big value-add on a golang app binary wrt to being cloud agnostic, nor wrt local development. It makes even less assumptions on the user's env. Still need some cloud conf (terraform, database etc) either way

If you'll excuse a slight digression, but I think there's a tendency atm to rather pay $1 in extra complexity a 100 times over time, than pay a $5 one-time fee. Like if repeating something similar twice - even if it's easy and not really a lot of effort - is a sign of failure and thus unbearable.
in theory hotplugging a ps/2 keyboard or mouse could blow your motherboard but it always worked fine for me
Maybe we are talking about different things. I mean that criminalizing drugs tends to make their use more risky as there are fewer quality controls and no legal recourse for drug users who get low quality or downright poisonous products. Vulnerable populations, like the homeless, who are already easy to exploit, become victims of this culturally and legally defined demarcation.
Is there any similar guidance from later in the pandemic? Much of what we thought we knew in April 2020 turned out to be incorrect.

It's perhaps not impossible to get COVID from 30+ feet away, but I sure haven't ever heard of such a thing happening, nor have I seen any guidance that indicated this distance presents a risk.

TBH, I would think it would be more likely that the infection happened at a different time, when the kids were not actually 30 feet apart (even if they were supposed to be, and said they were). I say this as a parent, and as a former kid.
What I found works best for me is to read more. Reading (hard copy) trains my ability to stay focused, and it translates into my ability to focus on work. Twitter/Hackernews/Reddit are still a click away, but I just don't fiend it as much.

Similar ideas have been tried in the past, they always end the same way. The converted civilian ship has zero survivability and is sunk by the first passing warship to the embarrassment of all the planners involved.

Today such vessels are so susceptible to anti-ship missiles and submarines that they're laughed out of any serious military planning meeting where the participants aren't already desperate for tonnage.

Kubernetes scales down pretty well. I don't use network layers or crazy ingress setups. I keep it simple and Kubernetes works great.

What's wonderful is that when I work on multiple clouds, my knowledge transfers just fine. I don't think of the AWS solution or the GCS solution, I use the same kubectl to check out both, view logs, inspect and fix.

Even when I got tired of waiting for GKE to spin up a node, running Github actions on a self-hosted microk8s meant instant pod starts and very little fuss. But using Kubernetes meant I got to take advantage of the Github operator, which let me reuse the same machine for multiple builds without the headaches.

When I want to run some open source, I often find a helm chart the helps me get set up. Nowadays running open source packages can involve all kinds of dependencies, but getting it running on a k8s cluster to check it out, or even in prod, is a relatively straight forward editing of some values files. I've recently ran Uptrace and Superset that way. They're not a bajillion requests per second setups, they don't have to be, and it was far easier to set up than most methods.

I would say your friend is right. Few people _need_ k8s but it's one interface to a bunch of complicated proprietary stuff. I can know core small, core set of k8s tools really well and forget half of the junk that I ever knew about public clouds. It's all the same patterns, transferable and reliable.
Gemini has a hidden option for "funnier" responses
PID control isn’t an easy solution in PC cooling.

CPU temperatures can swing from 40C to 90C and back in a matter of seconds as loads come and go. Modern fan control algorithms have delays and smoothing for this reason.

If you had a steady state load so stable that you could tune around it, setting a fan curve is rather easy and PID is overkill. For normal use where you’re going between idle with the occasional spike and back, trying to PID target a specific temperature doesn’t really give you anything useful and could introduce unnecessary delays in cooling if tuned incorrectly.
it'd be more effective if they could get these forks to show in bing

For me, the price is 15.99 euros.

For 18 bucks USD I can get the same 100mb, 16mb and 4c/8t of core i5 hosted by OVH cloud (where I have so many upgrade paths it's laughable. I can, if I wish emulate my builds on x86 right here, at home, on my prox mox box or anywhere else I wish and not pay per hour of dev time.

As a small dev, the cost savings isnt there yet. I don't have good RISC-V options at home/office to do testing on.

That having been said, I want the few dev boards that are out there to come down from the 70dollar price point. I love what ESP32 ecosystem has coming out (P4? I think, it has zigbee). So if you have the spare 16 bucks a month, and the TIME to play this might be a good time to stick your toe in!
Deciding what to do about the version split seems tricky, but on the plus side, it's impressive that they implemented a lot of real hardware before they even froze the extension.

I’m having a hard time understanding a complaint about the skyrocketing price of free 5 GB storage (or $1 for ten times that). And I’m having a hard time imagining a need for more than the free offering for settings, which AFAICT is the only thing you can’t trivially offload to a bulk cloud storage competitor. Of which there are many, easily available on the App Store.
The albedo is the part that's bad to lose. I don't think snow emits especially strongly in the frequencies relevant for this. A highly imperfect blackbody emitter could cool more effectively.

This seems unlikely to me solely from a growth perspective. That is, it is possible to reach "Principal" or "Distinguished" SRE as an IC, the equivalent of a director (or similarly: SRE Director). I don't recall companies having, or desiring to have large organizations of sysadmins.

I think one of the key differences to highlight is that usually SREs are engaged early in the design process of new features, and are often driving their own feature changes to the product for reliability or scalability reasons. Those aren't responsibilities or expectations that I've really ever seen in the context of a sysadmin.
Conversely that naval traffic MUST be done on US-built ships with crews that no how to man them which is a national security thing. I don’t see how allowing foreign built ships ie foreign crews helps with that aspect. Consider that we’re trying to onshore industrial things precisely for that purpose now in preparation for a potential war with China over Taiwan.

I also challenge that it’s also impossibly expensive because it that were the case things in Puerto Rico would cost much more whereas they’re a little bit cheaper than Miami.

https://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/compare_cities.jsp?cou...

That’s not to say that the Jones act should have reforms applied, particularly with respect to helping Puerto Rico compete more fairly, but I don’t think it’s clearly one of those totally evil regulations that’s hampering US creativity and ingenuity from flourishing.

While not a great sentence by any means, your replacement leaves out the rather important detail that this result has been shown experimentally.
I think supernatural is describing strength, not the pattern itself. A water lily that has a similar lattice structure does not have supernatural strength.

Supernatural is imaginary in the way many concepts of language are imaginary, they simply convey ideas. You could explain to me in detailed technical terms what the discovery was, but you would probably lose me 4 words in because I am not in that field.

I see my error in my comment though...my idea of supernatural as something that is much stronger than what is typically found in nature vs my idea of supernatural as something that is found in nature but has been modified. Those two understandings are at odds with each other and confusing.

I don't think the article is advocating for Delmer's exact approach ("black propaganda"* in the 1950s parlance), but I find it reasonable that increasing people's agency might could get them to "do the research" and understand (didn't civics classes do this? do they still exist in the States?) how their own election systems work.
