It is. People without that background will never understand its culture.
The fundamental problem is that Apple cannot have it both ways; you cannot have both a marketplace where you tax merchants in and you compete against them at the same time. If you want a cut of Spotify's revenue because you are enabling a great platform for them, awesome, but you cannot have Apple Music at the same time. If you do, your management of Spotify/Tidal/whomever should be regulated: fees capped, rights restricted, etc.

Apple has tried to do this too many times (Apple Books anyone?) and only succeeded in a few places and they've usually leveraged their OS/market position to do that --see Apple Music vs Spotify. At the end of the day it's Apple's customers that get hurt (because we massively prefer Spotify over Music but are not getting a first-class experience). Same for Siri, or Mail (what a POS that is) or Notes (why can't we map the swipe-from-bottom right to a better note-taking app?).

I say all of this as an Apple fan and a customer. Cut it out, stop trying to be 90s Microsoft.
Given the absolute errors I've found in LLM responses, like opposite definitions for opposing terminology, I very strongly counsel against using LLM output for learning.

I like Phind, because it gives links with human-authored source material. I use it to test my knowledge and when it doesn't agree, I seek reputable sources.

People seeking extra tutor support can't themselves tell, in all probability, when there are subtle errors in the LLM outputs and these could be really destructive to proper understanding.
> They have prompt engineering skill. If you can't do your creative job without AI, you can't do the job. The job you are doing is prompt engineering.

In contrast to what you said above, below is how the team describes themselves:

> shy kids, a team of multi-faceted artists, began as three friends from toronto, canada and has now evolved into a small but versatile production company. they create most of their projects from scratch, proficient in various aspects such as writing, directing, producing, shooting, editing, animating, VFX, and composing music. they are known for their vibrant animation, dubbed “punk-rock pixar”. their work has garnered emmy nominations and been long-listed for the oscars. currently, shy kids is involved in producing series for major entertainment platforms like Disney, HBO, AMC, and Netflix.

Maybe you can submit a pull request to their website to change that text to "we are prompt engineers who click buttons on websites".
>And Meta denied that Zuckerburg was involved in Project Ghostbuster, yet here are the emails proving otherwise...

It seems cartoonish given the scope alone: "A team of senior executives and roughly 41 lawyers worked on Project Ghostbusters,"

Yep the CEO of one of the most top-down structured companies in the world with sole decision making power doesn't know what his senior executives and lawyers are doing. Either way even if he didn't know I also don't understand why responsibility and leadership seemingly don't go hand in hand in the corporate world. Imagine a military leader lost a battalion and went with "Well I don't know they ran off in that direction..."
To be honest, with Azure Devops platforms, web app instances, containers and deployment slots, its almost bulletproof once you spend the time to get it originally configured. Same with AWS I imagine.

I find the standard blackbox_exporter far too limiting and static so I wrote an exporter which queries DNS zones from the Google API and creates targets dynamically from that.

It also has a feature which will query internal databases to find expected targets (kinda like service discovery). This covers more specific checks than what the DNS-based targets will provide.

These together mean that essentially no endpoint in our infrastructure is missing from being monitored in some fashion.

The exporter performs SSL checks (lifetime remaining etc) as well as providing HTTP/TCP latency metrics.

Yeah. You have a point.

My proposed changes only really bring the Saturn's 3D graphics into roughly the same technical capabilities as the Playstation.

They don't do anything to help with the performance issues or the higher manufacturing costs. Or the string of bad moves from SEGA management that alienated everyone.

But an alternative history with these minor changes might have been enough to stop developers complaining about the Saturns non-standard 3D graphics and keep a healthy market of cross-platform games. It might have also prevented commenters on the internet from making overally broad claims about the Saturn's lack of 3D capabilities.

---------------

Fixing the performance limitations and BoM cost issues would have required a larger redesign.

I'm thinking something along the lines of eliminating most specialised 2D capabilities (especially all of VDP2). Unify what's left to a single chip and simplify the five blocks of video memory down to a single block on a 32bit wide bus. This would significantly increase the bandwidth to the framebuffer, compared to VDP1's framebuffer which uses a 16bit bus, while decreasing part count and overall cost.

The increased performance of this new 3D focused VDP should hopefully be powerful enough to emulate the lost VDP2 background functionality as large 3D quads.
I've been using it for a couple different production apps, and it has been great. No problems for me.

> Why optimize my rail network when I can optimize the code that makes it possible?

As a maintainer of an open-source game, this resonates with me. I still play the game and enjoy it a lot, but being able to dive in and change it or add to it, or fix it, is almost like an entire game in itself.
This looks like an incredible achievement. I'd love to see some photos of the physical device. I'm also slightly confused about which FGPA module is being used. The blog mentions the Xylinx Kria SoMs but if you follow the links to the specs of those modules, you see they have ARM SoCs rather than Xylinx FGPAs. The whole world of FGPAs is pretty unfamiliar to me so maybe I'm missing something.

> Antonia Colins, who runs the website Balance Through Simplicity, has two adolescent daughters, one of whom struggles with neatness

Another possibility: the daughter is at ease in both neat and messy environments, but the mother is only at ease in neat ones. In this case, the conflict is being driven by the mother's struggles - not the daughter's.

There's some practical limits as neurons start to have irreversible injury after 6 hours of ischemia and 8 hours on muscles.
Usually we don't put tourniquets for more than 2h30min in lower limbs because after circa 2h we start to have some reperfusion injuries, lesser time on other segments.
The usual protocol is to not use tourniquets unless necessary, for ER care have the tourniquets removed each 30min for a few minutes to reduce reperfusion injuries. For surgery we generally follow this with the intervals no bigger than 2h.

The Snopes article you linked to quotes several sources. The Guardian quotes a North Korean government controlled newspaper and a South Korean paper that has a network of informants in North Korea.

If you want an independent source from North Korea, there is no such thing. Everything is government controlled.

I see nothing racist about this, nor is it propaganda to report on how people live in a dictatorship.

I notice most of your comments are political and anti-western, and several are aplogoism for China and North Korea.
That these days there are only two serious choices: deploy on a single-node Docker/podman machine, or Kubernetes.

I can do both, but for a bootstrapped solo business, Kubernetes is overkill and overengineered. What I would really love is a multi-node podman infrastructure, where I can scale out without having to deal with k8s and its infernal circus of YAML, Helm, etcd, kustomize, certificate rotation, etc.

Recently I had to set up a zero-downtime system for my app, I spent a week seriously considering a move to k3s, but the entire kubernetes ecosystem of churn frustrated me so much I simply wrote a custom script based on Caddy, regular container health checks and container cloning. Easier to understand, 20 lines of code and I don't have to sell my soul to the k8s devil just yet.

Sadly, I don't think a startup can help make this better. I want a bonafide FOSS solution to this problem, not another tool to get handcuffed to. I seem to remember Red Hat where working on a prototype of a systemd-podman orchestration system to make it easy to deploy a single systemd unit into multiple hosts, but I am unable to remember what is it called any more.

---

Also, I seem to be an outlier, judging from the rest of the comments, by running on dedicated servers. These days everybody is using one of the clouds and terribly afraid of managing servers. I think it's going to be hard to make DevOps better when everyone is in the "loving" Azure/AWS/GCP embrace: you're basically positioning as their competitor, as the cloud vendor itself is always trying to upsell its customers and reduce friction to as close to zero as possible.
I had assumed 'Flatten PDF' was to make the PDF smaller so just used it without thinking or comparing!

It's OK, for species wide compliance we have war.

* We can go to general, world wide conventional war. Just the amount of oil and environmental damage spent, producing machines (eg, airplanes, tanks, missiles, ships) would be astronomical

* Nuclear war would likely break out at some point, when someone is backed into a corner

* Biological warfare will likely be a component of any large scale future war. Naturally, mistakes will be made, and one favourite is destroying an enemy's food supplies.

So imagine crops or food animals targeted by disease, and it spreads to other lifeforms

My point is, I have been wondering that when things get very very visibly bad, when no one can rationalize away what is happening, when everything is falling apart due to global migration, land loss, loss of crop land, etc etc...

Will war then occur, with "pro environmental" nations working to prevent environmental damage of others? And then, of course, causing waaay more damage due to the war?

Because, well, humans.
how much time did it take for you to initially configure it? So with your and other comments, I'm getting a feeling that if you are just on one cloud and don't have a complex architecture, then it's pretty easy to do all these tasks, right?

And even so, how much time would developers be spending on these tasks weekly?

I think this is insightful.

What a company write in their TOS is an indication of what they intend to do. Broad scopes also means broad intentions (like startups).

You could read into that, that Vultr is intending to break the law in the EU, however little there is to do about it.

Its a liability for the customers knowing this. But it is also a liability for Vultr who will see it more difficult to establish in the EU, should that ever be wanted.
> because Canva has 175 million users with a significant number of them paying a subscription, this enables them to keep the Affinity apps purchase model in place.

please bookmark your own post and come back to it in five years so you can have a big a laugh.

Canva wants to be a player in image editing/design/etc. They have a big product that their investors love and has the ever-so-common monthly-tax funding model.

They have now bought a tiny, niche, desktop editing suite that makes approximately zero profit compared to Canva.

Do you think they did this because:

1. they thought it would be fun to own it and not interfere in any way, and to tell their investors to fuck off over and over when they suggest redeploying resources

1. they thought it would provide a good group of people and codebases to expand their existing editing software, and given that the software they currently sell makes essentially no money, at best they'll let it limp along with most staff working on integrating it into Canva-proper, at worst they'll kill it
Engineering teaches problem-solving, critical thinking, and a systematic approach to addressing issues—all valuable in developing a strong security culture. A CEO who understands the technical intricacies of aircraft manufacturing is more likely to prioritize safety and security as non-negotiable aspects of the business model.
I wonder why this happens:

Details about the drone's specific deployment on the front remain undisclosed by the Ukrainians.

I'd expect to publish all details of your enemy's weapons would be good for your side. Dump the software on the internet and let everyone search for weaknesses. Dump the hardware in full detail, and let everyone search for countermeasures. Reset every design advantage Russia has. What are they going to do, sue Ukraine for copyright infringement?

> you see they have ARM SoCs rather than Xylinx FGPAs

It's a mixed chip: FPGA and traditional SoC glued together. This mean you don't have a softcore MCU taking up precious FPGA resources just to do some basic management tasks.
My biggest complaint is that your copy (here, and on the site) uses delusional and grandiose language. Which shows me that you're just full of it. And surprise: people don't buy from people they don't trust.

and then there's this BS from the site:

>Its core, written in pure Golang, is of exceptional quality. Golang is esteemed for its productivity, simplicity, safety, and portability. With Pocketbase, your app—including public files—can be compiled into a single static binary deployable on any server, epitomizing true vendor independence.

The only thing this epitomizes is a solution in search of a problem.

Also from the site:

> Frameworks like Django and Rails offer pre-packaged solutions for common issues such as user authentication and template rendering, liberating developers to concentrate on solving business problems. They’re great for indie developers and integrate well with HTMX. However, there’s a caveat: over time, your expertise may become confined to the Python or Rails ecosystems.

What is this dribble? So the large and well documented python/rails ecosystems are bad, but using a boilerplate written by some guy is somehow better?

It's cool that you built something.
It's absurd that you're trying to sell it to developers as "the SaaS boilerplate for engineers".

It is clear you do not understand the audience you are trying to sell into. You don't understand their pain, and you don't understand how they make decisions.

That's a much more serious article than TFA (which sure is one of their clickbaity gossip rag kind); what it actually says is:

It means it plays several times worse than a 1960s chess engine.
Nice "No true Scotsman", and you are completely missing the point.
Well, here’s a story to give you an idea. In November 2018, a frigate collided with an oil tanker on the Norwegian coast. It was only a glancing collision, involving the starboard side of the frigate and the bow of the tanker. The frigate was severely damaged, basically having much of the starboard side ripped open, and it eventually sank. You could hardly see any damage to the tanker. (Luckily, or perhaps miraculously, no one was killed or seriously injured.)

Back to the pilot boat: Steering one in heavy seas when trying to deliver or recover a pilot is clearly a difficult art. But at least in the videos shown, there doesn’t seem to be much of an impact between the vessels. I am sure that is in part due to the skill of the steersman. Besides, I am sure the pilot boat will have permanently mounted fenders all around.
No. Capitalism has the race-to-the-bottom problem, but it's not necessary to engage in it. Shareholder value is not intrinsically defined as a short-term construct, or even a monetary one; that's just how it's seen by fuckwit markets and boards.

If you are part of the military industrial complex or the neocon establishment clique then the last three decades (since the start of the unipolar moment) have been extremely enjoyable and decadent as you get a free pass to milk the American empire.

You get lauded by the media as a hero for bombing arabs from the sky with zero possibility of defeat (and if the devastating horror inflected on the civilian population is revealed you get to throw the leakers in a dungeon - see Assange).

All the while transferring a huge chunk of taxpayer money to your chums by giving them lucrative defence contract to wage these pointless wars that do nothing strategically but extend the US debt to astronomical levels (which the entire world must finance due to the dollar hegemony), then in turn your chums reward you with board positions and various other kickbacks (book deals and university, think tank and media jobs).

You face zero possibility of being held accountable for your decisions because while politicians come and go your unelected position is secure and the population scarcely pays attention to foreign policy or public debt.
Well you could plausibly do this with nano-web, simply disable SPA_MODE and generate your routes in this manner.
In most business situations it is not so clear what the "hard reality" is. If you don't push even the experts for change or beyond what they are accustomed to, you tend to get stuck in some very conservative and traditional thinking.

> The list of argument is called "args" (short and descriptive)

You’re proving the original point - it should be named “arguments” because that is what it is.

Saving … 5 bytes? by naming it “args” instead is exactly OP’s point.
It all depends on your definition of "open", of course. As far as I know there is no open-source toolchain for any remotely-recent FPGA, so you're still stick with proprietary (paid?) tooling to actually modify it. You're pretty much out of luck if you need more than an iCE40 UP5k.
I remember some posts on HN describing ASML's software quality as atrocious.
Ah that makes sense. It's slightly ironic then that the ARM SoC includes a Mali GPU which presumably easily outperforms what can be achieved with the FGPA.
