This is valid. However, many production databases won't scale to zero often. The serverless proposition is still valuable if you factor in the development, test, and staging environments scaling to zero plus our autoscaling that doesn't require downtime or dropped connections.

For guaranteed message delivery, you're probably best of using a messaging system designed with that in mind instead of listen/notify.
Yeah. Medium did help to consolidate searching for blogs, but it also vastly increased the extremely low effort, and encourages bringing hot garbage takes to the spotlight.

I have yet to find a technical writer on medium that isn’t basically musing about what they learned that day in boot camp, or just regurgitating some stupidity they just read about how “FP is totally actually extremely performant if you just squint really really hard while lying about numbers!”

The bar for “good” on medium is already so insanely low that I question their move here.
Very cool app, if anyone wants to try the FOSS alternative to this check out Ragdoll Studio - https://github.com/bennyschmidt/ragdoll-studio

Create anyone you want based on a list of documents (URLs), chat with them, have them create images in their style, tell stories, etc.

(runs open models with Ollama, Stable Diffusion, etc. not OpenAI)

I would be curious what Sam Altmans people make, you can share characters here: https://ragdoll-studio.vercel.app
There have been lots of posts here about efforts to “modernize” Fortran, which is great! But I’m wondering what the current state of things is. Has anyone recently started a new project using modern Fortran and can comment on their decision?
> So the fastest you’ll see with your Intel Mac’s Thunderbolt ports is up to 3 GB/s, while a suitable USB4 enclosure running from any Apple silicon Mac should comfortably exceed that if it really does support USB 40Gbps.

One of the article's sins is that it mixes units, and accounts for overheads in one case but not the other, but I think it's fair to normalize this to <24 Gbps vs <40 Gbps. Dropping to <10 Gbps USB3 would be even worse.

I can imagine someone would notice the difference if it was in the critical path of their workflow such as importing and exporting high-quality video files. I'm not a video editor, but to proactively empathize, if all of my compiles took 2x-4x as long because of IO spec nonsense, I would have plenty of time to form an opinion about it.

My takeaway is that, while you already had to benchmark a storage product's performance rather than trust their claims, it appears you also have to benchmark it on the particular host hardware (and likely even specific cables) being used.

If the stakes are 2x-4x performance in the critical path of your workflow, it's quite a headache, and will further confound the applicability of third-party reviews. At best it may mean they have to test more combinations at the reviewer's expense, but still leaving many combinations untested at the potential user's expense.
FWIW - all "n <= 5" trans people I know (in the US) seems to regard the whole issue, as it has been escalating in the ideological/culture wars for the past 15-ish years, as a sort of radioactive and inmate-run insane asylum. They all want to quietly live their own lives, as what they are, without ever hearing about those wars, or being presumed to know anything about those wars, or being expected to have opinions about those wars, or...
Even the classic parking brake hill start in a manual car involves braking and applying engine torque at the same time, despite the fact that the brake pedal isn’t being pressed.

But starting on a hill in a conventional automatic with a torque converter also involves either rolling back a bit or pressing the accelerator a bit before releasing the brake.
This is not a negative statement against Supabase, but heed my warning:

Do not build out your MVP on supabase. If you need to scale and want a MSP do it after the MVP. Detangling the lock in is not fun.

Everything offered by supabase is easily found elsewhere without the MSP lock in.

Regarding the lack of detail, this has to be taken in a bit of context. Howard Oakley -- the author of the site -- has many articles that go into great technical depth and ones that are more high level advice.

While I would agree the article should link to more details, they are easy to find on the site. In fact, the author has written many benchmarking tools. Here are their tools related to disk and file system performance:

It is a fair bet, they used their own benchmark tools. You can read other articles on the site that describe their work.
Laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) is the more standardized term. DMLS was a trademark.
Yes I thought the article was a little bit ranty and missed the point. It's fundamentally about Germany trying to move off of MS software, well the reason they want to do that is because they don't want to depend on software that can be backdoored trivially by a foreign government.

The US can compel Microsoft to insert a backdoor in any of its products at any time and it will happen (probably has already).

Open source has this inherent advantage, at least backdoors have to be snuck by the eyes of the maintainers (though it can and does happen as we have seen).

So I think the writing is on the wall, this will increasingly be a competitive disadvantage for American solutions in Europe as time goes on.

> The terms Global South and North have been around since the 1960s, and they denote the country's socioeconomic position, not geographic location. It's jargon used by organizations working on developmental economics, and as with any jargon it is more precisely defined than "poor country".

To me, the jargon term "Global South" seems inferior to in all respects to the much more common term "3rd World." Whatever minor confusion is caused by the latter term's origin in Cold War geopolitics [1], is far less than the obvious prejudice and nonsense baked into the former [2].

[1] 3rd world pretty much means poor now, and no one's going to be tripped up by its original meaning of "non-aligned."

[2] Australia and New Zealand are in the South, Kyrgyzstan and Mongolia are in the North. Is the former populated by poors and latter rich, wealthy and developed?
Libre Office is really bad. Its kind of amazing that when I opened the powerpoint variant that I couldn't find text size.... Seems like something that should be on the regular main menu.

Rumors are they are leaving the hardware business since that hurts their margins and they can have OEMs build things like the Steam Deck and get away with selling Game Pass without the hardware risk. While profitable, dropping hardware could significantly boost margins (at the expense of the console crowd).

https://cleantechnica.com/2020/11/13/what-does-bill-gates-fa...

IEA has historically been bad at forecasting renewables.

The GDP numbers you mention are very far from the studies I've seen over the years.

I've been following debates about renewables for probably 15 years. Most common objections are: It's too expensive, it's impossible, it's not worth doing anything about, we should wait until later to do anything about it.

The truth is that the transition is happening, we have most of the things in place we need, and the rest we'll develop as we go along - they are mostly not developed much because their big market opportunity hasn't happened yet.

Streaming isn't limited by the available bandwidth but by the margins the streaming service doesn't want to spend on it.

Let me get this straight. You say that just because I believe someone can be against a government policy while at the same time benefiting from that policy, that I therefore ”support centrally planed economics that ruin a free market”? That’s quite the leap.

I benefit from society all the time. I buy cheap food from the store, and the low prices are a benefit I get from societal policies which I do not agree with. To avoid hypocrisy, would I have to grow my own food?
30 is just as divisional as 60 as it is also divisible by 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, but 12 x 5 = 60 so I guess that's why they used 60 instead of 30.

Appreciate yall being active in here but this doesn't really answer the question. Neon looks really interesting to us, we're currently paying Heroku for a standard-5 postgres plan at $1400/month. But that's mostly for the 1 TB of storage, I have no idea how much "compute" we currently use.
FYI: The most premium OS I've ever had was Fedora Cinnamon.

I had thought Windows was the nicest because I had been dabbling in Ubuntu/Mint and free software was... cheap... Nah: I had been using Debian-family.

If you ever thought Linux was worse than Windows, I challenge you to use Fedora. You most likely had used a Debian-family distro, and those are not designed for the average user.

>How the cost of a translator could be too expensive when everybody is working for free for you?

I don't necessarily disagree that translation would be beneficial, but it isn't just a matter of cost. As an author, I would absolutely not be comfortable with a journal translating my research without my direct involvement. Translation would require too much expert knowledge of the specific fields involved. I'd even be uncomfortable myself with translation of specific terms, even for languages I might know in non-scholarly contexts: it would require knowing the literature of the specific field in the language.

So it wouldn't be enough to have the journal hire a translator. It would be more work for the authors, and likely for others in their field who would need to be brought in.

Yes, they migth be turning into SEGA, still hardly matters given the money on the XBox ecosystem, meaning the combined sales of all game studios owned by Microsoft, across all platforms.
> complete rework and rethink how local network routing works

There's no fundamental difference in routing. They both use trivially simple prefix routing.

> removal of standard NAT

NAT isn't "standard". NAT is a nasty kludge that people put in because they were too lazy to upgrade their software stacks. And IPv6 was defined before NAT was commonly used, in large part as a way to avoid NAT becoming common. Because NAT is a bad idea in every possible way.

Also, IPv4 is itself much, much simpler without NAT. And you can do NAT on IPv6 if you're stupid enough to want to.

Saying that IPv6 is complicated because it removes the need for a complicated hack like NAT is just insanity.

> (DHCPv6, SLAAC, and all of those messes)

Those are not in any way more complicated or harder to use than DHCP4. Setting up a DHCP server to get automatic address assignment on an IPv4 network is actually harder than letting a router automatically do SLAAC to do address assignment on IPv6.

Also, DHCP is not part of IPv4, and DHCP6 is not part of IPv6. I was using and managing IPv4 networks before DHCP existed. Yes, it was a royal pain in the ass... which is why that functionality was integrated into IPv6. Which was done a protocol that's actually simpler than DHCP, although I didn't and still don't approve of the way it wastes address bits.
Yeah. My MikroTik router comes with a free DDNS service, for example

Not at all the same risk profile. Arc welding is just a really bright UV light, and without appropriate protection, it will cause what is essentially a sunburn on the surface of the eye. It is painful, but it usually heals in a couple of days. It shouldn't significantly damage the retina.

Laser light is different: a laser is effectively a point light source, and it will focus inside the eye to a single point with enough brightness to cause a burn. It can cause a permanent blind spot, and damage may happen faster and be less noticeable at first.

Having radar allows you to do neat tricks like bounce the signal off of the bottom of the car in front of you, meaning your car can detect slowdowns and collisions way ahead of what direct vision can do.

LiDAR similarly augments camera vision to beyond-human capacity.
I disagree. The goal for most games is not to simulate the real world accurately, but to be a piece of entertainment (or artwork). That sets different requirements than just "world simulation", both from mechanics point of view and from graphics point of view. So engines will for a long time be able to differentiate on how they facilitate such things; expressivity is a tough nut to crack and real-world physics gets you only so far.

Even photorealism is a shifting target as it turns out that photography itself diverges from reality; there is this trend of having games and movies look "cinematic" in a way that is not exactly realistic, or at least not how things appear to human eye. But how scenes appear to human eyes is also tricky question as humans are not just simple mechanical cameras.

[off topic / meta]

The internet seems to increasingly just be a place to rewrite old thoughts but with less actual content (or more content with less actual thought behind it).

Could be confirmation bias, but I feel like there was a clear transition when comment threads on forums became more prone to top level repeats of the same thought rather than replies to the first person who had the same thought. ("Came here to post this" ain't great, but I'd take it over dozens of blindly typed repetitions)

Seems to have bled out into blog posts too now.

Can't imagine this will reduce with LLM (mis)usage.

Is it just that we read less? That there's so much new information and such pressure to produce that there's no time for discourse? Has information reached such critical mass that we're all emboldened with the assumption that all which came before was cruft?

Genuine question, not rhetoric (and I'm certainly guilty of the same thing - perhaps someone already expressed this in a comment below and I didn't even look) but I'd love to see it balanced by something if not solved.

Can we still somehow return to building on the shoulders of giants, or are we doomed to an eternity of posturing and feigned originality?

Seems like it'd be an interesting topic to explore if it hasn't been already - any sociologists here?
I feel that. I work in tech since only 4 years now, but I see a more general problem. People need to be taught in a more software agnostic way. Like, how to properly use a search engine to research a software related issue instead of going into panic mode and call IT. Once people are able to research software specific issues, switching products won't be as much of a problem
Not at this level. The insurance company is essentially the guarantor in cases like this via Protection and Indemnity insurance. It’s a prerequisite to entering most ports so that someone with big pockets is on the hook when something like this happens, instead of some tiny management or holding company that can be declared bankrupt and quickly closed.

Maersk and its insurers are going to fight over how they split ultimate responsibility, maybe even go to court over it, but the insurance company is the first big payee in line, even if they’re not responsible for the full (multi-billion dollar) amount.

Close. I sent it to rrusczyk around the time it got accepted by the Monthly. I wanted him to see it because AoPS was playing a huge role in my mathematical education at the time, and was happy when he wanted to post it on the website.
Interesting. I think it was a couple of years earlier than that(?) when I tried using Kate, but it was so buggy and crashy as to be unusable.

Since I tried it pretty close to its initial release, I'm certain those problems were resolved. However, I developed work habits that didn't include it and so I still don't use it to this day.

Why thank you for finding these for me. I admit, I searched around a bit on Toyota's and Honda's sites and found no such warnings - just generic "make sure to wash your car every couple weeks." It's quite remarkable that you were able to pinpoint this information in such a short amount of time.

So, in the end, would you agree that the stainless steel finish is no more resistant to damage than a typical car? It's no more rugged or durable?

I find the debate about the utility of the diagnostic model to be so polarizing as to be useless. You can't totally reject some of these diagnoses, regardless of how porous the boundaries, without depriving a lot of people of the care they need. On the other hand, it's hard to argue that the current diagnostic categories are working especially well for the people who aren't bullseyes.

I stumbled on this paper when I was thinking about my own diagnoses of bipolar disorder and ADHD that explores why the comorbidity is so high, and ends up with a fascinating meta-analysis of how we think about diagnostic categories. I have no idea if this paper is respected, or has been totally debunked, because I don't have any context on the field. I did find it very helpful for myself, personally.
