I used to look down on the "spiritual, but not religious" thing. But now I think that being spiritual means choosing to keep some things sacred. You can do this without believing in anything supernatural (I believe we all do to some extent or another).
Wild that it's 2024 and you still don't have UBlock Origin.
Congrats Steve! We met in Miami at hf0 - great to see where you've gone since
I think you are coming from a belief system that makes this all pointless and cynical, but this is quite kind for people with some religious beliefs.
Calibration immediately errors out for my DualSense. Luckily mine doesn't actually need any calibration, I was just trying it out :)
It's clearly an opinion piece. Why do you hold that to the standard of "objective journalism"?

It seems to me to be at least relatively thoughtful and honest.
wow I always thought that Prom UI was just a tacked-on part of alertmanager or something because it’s so rudimentary. In my experience, everyone just uses Grafana Explore since that’s what Grafana was originally purpose-built for and it’s crazy easy to set up. Just pull down a container or helm chart or whatever.

Since Grafana built Loki, it doesn't make any sense why Grafana would create a separate querying UI app for Loki when they already have Grafana Explore. Prometheus (and I assume its UI) was created by Google [edit: sorry, created by SoundCloud, inspired by a Google Borg tool] before Grafana became the de facto Prometheus query UI, so it’s not really analogous.
No, they're not. These judges do not represent me. I did not vote for them at all. Actually not a single person did.
It sounds like an opinion piece and looks like one. It's on a site that specializes in opinion essays. Is there something wrong with that? I don't see any misrepresentation here.

Oddly enough, I actually tried to make something like this happen at my high school. My high school was a private and catholic one. We had a strong relationship with a lot of the local parishes and shelters and there was always a need for some paulbearers or otherwise "witnesses" for individuals with no family (older, homeless etc) who had passed.

Initially I would just attend a few burials. I did not say much (if anything), nor do much. I just tried reflecting on the person and hoped they found some peace and comfort.

When I tried getting it off the ground into something more formal we ran into some bureaucratic issues. Makes me kind of sad. Maybe I should reach back out and see if I could get it started again.
There are neurological studies that show that anger cycles can escalate and become amplified with practice. That's not what we want.

Acknowledge your anger, yes. Then acknowledge your control, not only over how you express it, but even over whether you feel angry or not. It is possible to develop the skill to stop being angry. This is far more important than going with the flow.

It's often a bitter pill to swallow, because it means the people that act out of anger, or are always angry, are ultimately responsible for how they feel. It is not someone else's fault you feel angry.
> You and I must have a fundamentally different definition of "left-leaning values".

I'm sorry, but DEI committees, forced minority hiring, and continued suppression of right-of-center opinions say different.

I have worked at fortune 500 companies. I have seen their intercompany minority groups. When asked to join, I plainly said that as a typical white guy, there was no group representing me, whatever that even means. You could almost hear the coin fall, but not quite.

You can also look at Ex-Twitter or Reddit for examples of otherthink suppression. The largest German subforum was recently banned because of their immigration-critical (not even anti-immigration) stance.

I'm not even a conservative. It's just that I'm aware of my bubble's inherent bias and that I do not support the progressive-typical suppression of differing opinions in the name of any -isms. Being openly racist is different from criticizing religion or political decisions.

The only reason you don't see techcorps as left-leaning is because you misunderstand the principle of radical capitalism as being inherently conservative.

Yeah, I am with you on this one. And even with that worst case scenario dodged, checked luggage experience just sucks.

After landing, instead of just up and leaving the airport, you gotta go to your baggage claim and wait for your flight to get processed. Sometimes it easily adds over an extra hour to the experience (and even the best case scenarios still take me about 30-40 mins extra at least, and that’s domestic flights).
SQLite has what they "call a covering index", see point 9 here: https://www.sqlite.org/optoverview.html

My impression is that this mechanism is less general than what one finds in full-fat client-server SQLite databases.
My guess is that this is a product aiming to mimic the success and popularity of Loom more than anyone else, although it may also just be a response to Microsoft acquiring Clipchamp for in-browser video editing in 2021 (https://clipchamp.com/en/blog/microsoft-acquires-clipchamp-t...). Loop was likewise acquired by Atlassian late last year (https://www.loom.com/blog/loom-atlassian ).

As far as Loom goes, video-based messaging and communication has the power to be a great low effort and high bandwidth for both the creator and recipient. It’s certainly easier to talk over a screen recording and send that over to someone, compared to typing out a long series of steps describing what you are doing and then also writing up the “why”. On the other hand, I do wonder if these types of apps are short-lived. What happens when the recipient is just using AI to get a summary of your video (instead of viewing it and benefiting from your nice graphics), or where they can use an AI to mimic what your screen recording shows (instead of needing to act on it themselves)? What about when an AI agent can just be a shadow trailing the creator’s actions and automatically put together a video to share with others?

Product features aside, I do have concerns when I see the big tech companies launch products like this. Don’t get me wrong - I think this is going to be an interesting and useful product for Google Workspace users. But I can’t help but feel that there’s something unfair or wrong about large companies creating new copycat products and entering segments that are established by smaller pre public companies first. Those smaller companies have had to struggle and survive - that means hiring early employees, finding your first customers, iterating rapidly, convincing investors, getting to product-market fit, all to most likely fail some day. Surviving is a difficult journey that requires talent, hard work, resilience, and some luck. But comparatively, it’s trivial for a trillion-Dollar tech company to just mimic features or entire products from others. It doesn’t really even matter if their efforts even succeed or not - a large company can afford to lose money on these things and shut down failed attempts in a few years without any risk to the company. Worse, they can act anti-competitively and bundle these new features/products alongside other things, like Microsoft did with Teams or Google is planning to do here, and deprive those deserving smaller companies of their markets. I feel like we need better language than “monopoly” to describe this dynamic. But what’s the fix? Updated competition laws? Higher taxes on companies above a certain size? Something else?
Well, you call those parents who don't watch Scott bad parents.
Yes, gaming is the more immediate application for this, but this could potentially be helpful in better scrolling or mouse substitution - analog is great indeed vs binaries
I am interested in the market impact of offloads and accelerators. In my work, I can only realistically exploit capabilities that are common between AWS and GCP, since my services must run in both clouds. So I am not going to do any work to adapt my systems to GCP-specific performance features. Am I alone in that?
Monks are doing it on easy mode. They have nothing to anger them, zero triggers. It’s the whole point of hermeticism. Remove all sources of stress. Desire nothing. Of course they aren’t angry, they have nothing; nothing to feel angry about.
That will, if I understand correctly, get the logs for one pod, not for one process. For example if the pod restarted 10 times you will not get 10 separate files from that query.

> The only differences are sleight of hand, where politicians "haven't raised taxes" and yet have more of your money at their disposal; and whether it's applied progressively, so the rich pay a bigger share.

There's also the difference of exactly which people are paying. It's not uniform across everybody, not even across everybody with internet access.

A more extreme example of this same picking of winners and losers is student loan bailouts. The winners are clearly the minority of people who get their loans repaid / forgiven and the losers are all the tax payers getting the tab added to the national debt.

> Why bother with a budget when we just borrow/print our way out of any budgetary limits we don't like?

I think this is the wrong question to ask of the government. At least notionally, when I borrow as a private individual it's to provide some quantifiable benefit in the future. For example if I'm starting a business, I might draft a business plan, conclude that there is money to be made and an opportunity that will dissolve if I try to save, and borrow money to buy equipment to start the business. What we should be asking is "what tangible benefit for our society is this thing going to have, and do we want to be on the hook to pay for it for 30 years?" I think to the degree that broadband access gives people in rural areas direct access to a market and to knowledge and ideas that they can't access locally, there is a lot of value in the rest of the country paying for this so that they can have the same options that the rest of us have.
Personally the only entertaining ones to watch are Starcraft Brood War or Starcraft 2 right now.
To be fair, almost all networks that Pidgin could connect to (Jabber/XMPP being a notable exception) used proprietary protocols, and their operators heavily discouraged third-party interoperability.

The difference is that there wasn't any way to do robust hardware attestation at the time (which is what Apple does to frustrate Beeper-like iMessage interoperability), so the reverse engineers usually won.

Here's an interesting story from that time: https://www.nplusonemag.com/issue-19/essays/chat-wars/

We get it -- repeating it 4 times in 6 sentences is a lot.

Yikes. Some people have different belief systems, some of those belief systems believe in the afterlife.
Rerun 0.15 – Layout from Code
It is just genius. After actually building a better browser, just implementing web standards while they are still on the standard track - or even before it - forcing competitors to implement them and also slowing them down in the process.
I guess I didn’t think about it like that. If everyone opens up, Beeper’s competition is suddenly WhatsApp, instead of being one of their assets.
The first is the mechanism for the second.
“Debt: the first 5000 years” is an interesting read that addresses your question. In short the author argues that debt- especially government/country level debt- is good for the country issuing the debt and bad/a liability for the country who owns the debt. In other words, the more we “owe” China, the better off we are and the worse off China is. It’s sort of like that saying “if you owe the bank 100 it’s your problem, if you owe the bank $1,000,000, it’s their problem”. Same thing. “We” can “owe” China a billion trillion trillion dollars, but it’s all abstract. What will China do if we don’t pay? How do they call in that debt? We used their money to build the best navy in the world.

If we equate the national debt to a single person with $100k in credit card debt, the reality isn’t all that bleak. He declares bankruptcy, gets to keep his house and car, and some or all of the shit he bought with the $100k… only thing is his “score” is low for 7 years. If America were to do the same, I don’t know that anything different would happen. Some countries would stop lending to us. Some third world countries probably don’t have a choice but to lend to us. That might cause inflation or hyper-inflation since the U.S. Dollar would be devalued internationally. At the same time, if the president decided there were WMDs in Russia or Africa, we may suddenly find ourselves relieved from economic burden through conquest (like what Russia is trying to do). No one wants to sell us oil? No problem, we’ll invade The Congo or Russia. Japan had a similar situation in WWII- they in part invaded other countries for their resources. Nazi Germany as well. Two cases of the economy going in the shitter and the answer being war. But now it’s not some rinky-dink island nation or once-bitten-twice-shy Germany- it’s the United fucking States.
Thanks!! What are you up to?
It's still suspiciously high. Just think of all the car junkyards and countries that basically have no enforced regulations like rural India, China etc.

I feel really weird about this.

It's too late for the person to receive any benefit. They won't know or care.

If it's not accurate and you're making stuff up, this feels like a creative writing exercise to make the eulogizers feel good. Like getting a dopamine kick off of someone's macabre death.

I don't think I'd like if I knew people would do this to me.

Whatever the case, death sucks. Loneliness sucks. We have a lot of problems to solve.

If you also happen to think SupCom was the most ultimate superior RTS ever made, because it's truly strategy scale with a thousand units PER PLAYER including on 8v8 maps, and the simulated ballistics of almost all weapons means you can defend your base from an incoming nuke by scrambling your jet fighters so that they run into the incoming warhead and airburst it "safely" above your base, and love that artillery shells can also hit those same planes, or that a plane shot out of the sky can fall on a tank and destroy it, or that you think a giant walking mech with a backpack nuke launcher is the metalist fucking thing,

Check out Forged Alliance Forever. It's a community made, open source, "launcher" for the Supreme Commander game, that patches it, mods it, allows you to interact with other players and find games and get ranked against them, and also is a replay viewer, so you can watch how the pros actually do the insane micro and economy play that earns them the 2000+ ELO score, and also a mod manager, and also a friends list.

If you are like me, and love all that but actually suck at playing strategy games in general, check out Gyle on youtube https://www.youtube.com/@GyleCast who has been casting SupCom games for at least a decade now, and really shows off some of the best that the game has to offer, including multi-hour "EPICs" that can involve ten thousand units controlled by several semi-pro players.
Chrome often only pays lip service to the standards process. They often spit out a semblance of the spec, and enable it by default almost immediately. See, e.g. most of the hardware and PWA/related APIs.
This sounds awful. Video is the worst way to consume anything technical, for me. Video tutorials and video code walk throughs are completely worthless for most things.

I hope this is just another Google product that they shut down in a year and that it doesn't catch on.
this is my goto. Dapper was also my intro to it, but its a pattern I've followed in every other language since. Writing queries is easy, mapping is the annoying/repetitive part. sqlx for Golang has some decent mapping helpers too.

I don't want to learn/remember a new way to query the same underlying database every time I switch projects/stacks/etc... sql is better, literally.
Fantastic -- gotta love Andrej. I am sick of the ball and chain that is Python and all of its environment dependencies. It is nice to shed all the weight and get down to the metal.
Because typically all writes need to happen from a single process, so if you want to run multiple processes writing to the same DB, you need to synchronize them somehow.

If you are running a workers loop together with your http serving loop, running on the same process is awkward: you would need to stop serving your webapp each time you want to deploy new workers. Also you would need to wait until all workers are done before you could redeploy the app. If one of the workers does something unexpected, it could take down your webapp together with any other workers running, etc.

If you used multiple processes you would need to perform sync through some IPC or something like redis to perform writes sequentially, but using a DB that already ships as a daemon would fit the problem better.

Location: Greensboro, NC

Remote Ok

Willing to relocate to UK or EU

Technologies: JS/HTML/CSS, React, Next, Java, Python, Flask-SQLAlchemy, PostgreSQL

Résumé/CV: https://jackhenza.com/resume

Email: jackhenza@gmail.com

I have taught JS, HTML/CSS, and Java at the high school level, and learned a lot about breaking down coding concepts and communicating about them. I went through a software engineering bootcamp with Flatiron School to learn more, and am continuing to hone my skills and learn new technologies. I would love to work in a remote team-based environment for a company or organization with a mission and positive organizational culture.
I still choose WP over Wix or SquareSpace when given the option. Self hosting a bunch of WP sites on a DigitalOcean instance and mirroring them all through CloudFlare is probably the cheapest way to run high traffic read-only sites. Toss in ServerPilot and you can spin up sites about as quickly as you could doing the Wix onboarding.

My prediction is that by 2030 Wordpress will be just as popular as it is today :)
A friend of mine went to a Zen Buddhist monastery for a month to start practicing to deal with his anger. After the month he told his teacher the reason why he came - to dissipate his anger - and his teacher told him that he had nothing to teach him because the fact that he was feeling his anger was the practice of mindfulness. The teacher told him he’d be better off leaving the monastery and working on the object of his anger (human-induced climate destabilization).

I think you’re appealing to the boiled down and stripped away “mindfulness” movement in the west that focuses on creating what I call “Vipassana Zombies” - people who can feel their sensations just enough to recognize and ignore them. A lot of Buddhist teachings are about empowerment and action, and they’ve been grossly misunderstood.
> Electric cars are a viable product because they are a direct replacement for the kinds of cars people in the developed world have been driving for decades.

Which may not matter much. People care about getting from A to B, quick & affordable.

With big cities getting more crowded (and thus, traffic jams & parking space at a premium), smaller 2- or 3-wheel electric vehicles have a leg up vs. full sized cars. Enough so that they replace [gasoline/diesel powered cars] faster than electric cars do.

Purchase / maintanance costs, tax incentives etc also work in favor of these smaller / lighter vehicles.

I don’t understand what the point was to linking those graphs, they self evidently answer the question.
