I'm actually glad it uses RTL-SDR, I wasn't aware it was good enough to get interesting results.

Ever since I've seen the project by Andrew Holme (mentioned in sibling comments) years ago it has been on my wish list to replicate, but analog/RF signals are dark magic to me.

Now I feel like I can skip the hard RF frontend bit and play with the software by using the SDR I already have.
I think this makes sense. If you are viewing it as marking up a static document, then a ton of the affordances in org-mode make little sense. Most of it is about interacting with a lot of data that happens to be represented in plain text.

For a lot of us, that focus on the plain text is important. As it helps keep us focused on all of the other affordances that we have grown accustomed to in emacs. As soon as you move things into a binary format, you are likely giving up on a lot of the other tools you have. There can be reasons to do this, of course, but for most data that you interact with at a personal level, most of those reasons have been overcome by the power of the personal computer.

Yes, I forgot to mention downloading the orbital parameters over the network! Thanks for mentioning this as well.

In this case, I was meaning to refer to brute-forcing the Doppler-shifts and PRN phases of each satellite, not the orbital parameters themselves. The project in the OP is able to get a position fix in less than a minute because, if the subframe timings are convenient, you can retrieve the necessary ephemeris parameters from the subframes in that span (and down to as little as 18 seconds in ideal conditions, if my back-of-the-napkin is right).
> 60% of Azure workloads are Linux based

Do you have a citation for this? I honestly thought it would favor Linux even more; I'm surprised it's this "low" for Linux.

If this is true, it makes me wonder how many of the small-medium back office deployments are now just cloud-only. While there's a lot of money in fortune 500 windows deployments, there's possibly even more money waiting for the conversion of small-medium sized businesses in their conversion to the cloud. But the SMB market would probably leans towards Windows-based services (I'm guessing).
If you stop and think about it, almost every business is a scam of sorts that relies upon the weaknesses of human nature to thrive.

In a lot of cases we're too lazy to do it ourselves. Or we need it NOW. Or we're too stupid to care or we're overwhelmed by other emotional factors. All these things and more impede our ability to make a clear distinction between value, cost and need.

It's really hard to tell the difference between late stage capitalism and fraud. They're only divided by a thin legal line full of semantics and double speak. Words dont seem to have meanings. ie) Guaranteed, Free, Unlimited, etc. We've become entrapped in a web of tort law and legal ridiculousness.

So in the end this guy tells it like it is... He's the known known, the honest thief.
No, it's definitely insufficient faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. Which totally makes sense since sometimes sinners get it, and we're all sinners, aren't we?!
No and that just reinforces the point. The Humane Pin is solving the utility part of what we use our phones for, but our phones have nailed this, with app stores, a screen, and highly optimised booking/checkout flows.

The Humane Pin is aiming at this market, but with far less utility, ability, stability. They say they want to minimise the time we spend on our phones, but I don't regret the 7 seconds it takes to google an actor in the show I'm watching, or the 20 seconds it takes to book an Uber. I regret the 15 minutes I spend scrolling reddit on the toilet, or the hour I spend watching YouTube before bed. That's not the market they're taking aim at.

There is no universal lie if you accept the concept of the paperclip maximiser because we cannot predict all the activities an intelligence would undertake that it could self-justify was in service to its goal.
In general I think many programmers have internalized the idea that it’s best to waste as many computing resources as we can possibly afford as long as it’s not the bottleneck. Then, in the future, if and when it becomes the bottleneck, we’ll have plenty of headroom to optimize and look like heroes for saving the millions of dollars we never had to spend in the first place. It’s really insane (at best) or genuinely a type of grift at worst.
I'd generalize this to psychopaths; it's called superficial charm for a reason. They can be quite nice to talk to but they don't have any concept of loyalty and so will betray you without a second thought as soon as its advantageous. The smarter ones do very well in large organizations.
Depends what you mean by data structure.

If you mean across multiple tables the most obvious answer is a tool that helps improve normalisation.

Otherwise I'm not really sure what else you can mean by data structure that isn't how the data is stored on disk or how it's arranged into relations.
Having met people like this, it's exactly like it's said here. It's compulsive for them, they have to do it. Pretty sure the reasoning is ad hoc.

"How should the world react to that?"

The world?

Let me quote Cambridge study from October 2022 [0]: "75% of respondents in South Asia, 68% in Francophone Africa, 62% in Southeast Asia continue to view the country [Russia] positively in spite of the events of this year." Here is some analysis of the reasons why it is the case. [1]

As an illustration you can look how the countries of the world voted on the Russia's resolution on "Combating glorification of Nazism, neo-Nazism and other practices that contribute to fuelling contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance"[2]:

Yes: 118 | No: 49

The 49 countries who voted 'No' are the Ukraine (obviously), the US, the EU and NATO members, and some countries that depend on the US and the EU.

I updated the post late last night to address the security bits of the host header. Based on my understanding of nginx documentation and some brief testing, I don't think path traversal in the host header is possible -- nginx throws a 400 instead of a 502, which indicates it isn't making it to the proxy_pass yet. I think the $host variable is basically guaranteed to at least match the server_name regex block by the time it reaches the proxy_pass -- so to further tighten it up, you could only allow alphanumeric characters in your server_name regex.

I just checked out your solution and also learned a new trick about ssh! I didn't know that setting the port to 0 would cause dynamic allocation for the tunnel. It makes sense, I did know about that 0 behavior just in typical linux processes, but never thought to apply it to an ssh tunnel.

> The base level Porsche is absolutely slow compared to the top-end.

It's still very fast compared to a 100 hp budget car (HP is selling 8GB laptops for $300 and you can get a 16 GB one for $500 with 512 GB of storage, the Air starts at $1000, is Porsche offering models with 100 engines?)

> The base level Tesla has vastly less range than the top-end.

Vastly is an exaggeration but let's say so. It still has a much larger battery than budget EV with ~30 kWh batteries)

> You missed the point entirely.

I don't think so.

> geared towards pros is laughable

I didn't say anything about pros. A 16GB + 512GB laptop is certainly not "geared towards pros" and Apple only gives you half that.

> Companies make a range of products to suit a range on consumers and needs.

Maximizing profits comes first in this case. Apple uses segmentation to up charge their customers for upgrades (at obscene margins) because their clients have no other options if they want macOS. Again an extra 8GB would cost peanuts...
They embezzle because they like it. They like the rush. They need money now, not in five years. They like being smarter than the drudges they figure are around them. And they embezzle, I am convinced, because they want to get caught sooner or later and that pattern is usually repeated over and over.

You can embezzle for some of the reasons listed above, and not others. Or something completely different, like a conviction that the victim (which could be an employer or government agency or cofounder) owes you for some real or imagined damage or injustice.

And some people do it for love.

There was a case a few years back involving a nebbish CFO at an old-school family-run firm, Alden Shoe Company. This guy was utterly besotted with a former TV news anchor who was trying to start her own entertainment brand, and embezzled millions to fund her business and impress her as a moneyed knight in shining armor.

He stole the money from a reserve account and family trust, and wasn't particularly smart about it:

In 2011, according to criminal and civil court filings, Hajjar started writing checks to himself from that Santander account and depositing them in his personal bank accounts. That year, he wrote himself eight checks totaling $585,000. The next year, 17 checks for $1.2 million. He also transferred money from the cash reserve to a defunct Alden trust account, and then over to his personal accounts. In 2013, he used this method to take $1.2 million, and again to steal $4 million in 2014—the same year de la Garza started Lucky Gal Productions. ...

At the end of each year, Hajjar simply moved money from an Alden line of credit into the Santander account, so everything looked copasetic for the year-end review. Then, after a successful review, he returned the borrowed funds to the Alden line of credit and no one was the wiser that the Santander account was missing money.

https://www.bostonmagazine.com/news/2021/07/13/richard-hajja...

The theft totalled $17 million. He didn't try hard to cover his tracks, and when the CEO of the shoe company figured it out, he admitted it right away.

I don't think this guy was a born con artist or serial grifter or particularly brilliant. He'd been with the same company his entire career, and there wasn't any evidence of earlier embezzlement until he met the TV personality.

I think he got 5 years in prison.
The network difference between compressed JSON or a compressed format is likely negligible.

But jcgrillo was talking about storage (at least his link was). And when parsing for analysis or for storing millions of points daily, there's no doubt that a binary format is simply a lot more CPU and disk efficient.

I agree that those "AX9000" marketing numbers are fake.

>This obviously depends on your hardware and environment

This is the key point. If you have:

A high link rate client.

A high link rate access point.

Line of sight between the two, same room.

A low utilization and interference channel.

No one else heavily using your Wi-Fi.

Non-bad drivers for Wi-Fi.

Then TCP throughput of about 1/2 to 2/3 link rate is possible. 1200 Mbps link rate yields 600-700 Mbps speed tests. Some applications have small TCP windows so their throughput drops on 5 ms latency wireless versus <1 ms wired.

Yes if you plug you always get 920 Mbps throughput.
So you don't want to suffer but its okay that others including future generations suffer.

What gives this generation the right to avoid responsibility and burden other generations with their poor financial decision and inability to take responsibility?

1 "Database" = 1 Server/Cluster

I have 1 database per client and their needs almost never overlap so I wanted to share the underlying server/cluster between them. You can't do that on PlanetScale. Aside from that I liked working them.
Nice specs. I feel ChromeOS, as a whole, is underrated. It's the best PHD (Push Here Dummy) OS out there, and updates are less painful than any other mainstream OS. One step further is Crostini, allowing a power user to fully deploy all of Linux, and do it in a secure manner that doesn't affect the underlying OS.
So if you're not 10x, what's the point of you having built a mediocre educational lexer and interpreter?

I had an interesting experience a few months ago. I seem to be incorrectly remembering it as percussive tinnitus - all I can find now is pulsatile tinnitus. Whatever it's called, it was a tapping in my ear at about 120 bps, only noticeable when going to sleep. It was possibly caused by a bike fall, very jarring to the body, no head contact, and disappeared after two or three weeks.

They seem to heavily invest in their social media presence with things like the YouTube channel, but then also use social media indicators (likes/follows/subs/etc) as a measure of success. Seems a little circular.

The plot of Github Stars over Time: Supabase vs. MongoDB seems particularly silly (imo).

Not a hater by the way, I think their YouTube channel is actually pretty good, and I think it will become increasingly common for startups/businesses to have something like this for product/brand awareness, getting users up and running, etc.

I think if the goal of the post was focusing on platform maturation and growth, it might have been better to focus exclusively on the plots of database/users over time, and simply link out to the various social channels.

Overall though still cool to see, and congratulations to the Supabase team!

How do deal with horizontal scaling or failovers in general? These are two of the reasons I am still unconvinced about using SQLite in production:

- how do you gracefully upgrade your app without any downtime?

>I think we're going back full-circle to calling Mom and do what she'll recommend.

In a sense, the old-fashioned way works so well because it relies on actual human connections and trust. Your mom isn't trying to sell you Miracle Cleaner 2000. Your friends don't get a commission for recommending a book they think you'd like.

On the internet, the whole world is trying to sell you something, and they have little incentive to STFU. There's no connection, only transaction for fractions of pennies.

I don't think I really understand the takeaway of this article... the case wasn't really made ever that Eddie, let alone most grifters, are particularly nice. If anything, I think the takeaway is that grifters will always grift, because it's in their nature to find cracks in society they can use to their advantage. It's not about right or wrong, it's about seeing the world in a different way than most people do.

> I can't recall a single time when having more than a day's with of history was ever useful in tracking down an operational issue.

User writes into support 3 days after the problem occurred, and support goes back and forth covering level 1 possibilities for an additional 2 days before escalating. It's common for 1 support complaint to represent some larger factor of users who never complain, so it would be useful to understand how common the issue is once it has been identified in the observability data. Having one day isn't sufficient in this scenario.
I always assume embezzlers are just people who have higher tolerance for boundary pushing. Exploring boundaries is a primal urge. Kids learn to do it at a young age. If you have ever trained an animal, you know they do it also. To me, embezzlement always appears as someone who pushed "perks of the job" into illegality.

If you are going to be a successful embezzler the lag between pushing a boundary (from small office supplies, to stealing petty cash, to full on corporate embezzlement) must be pretty long. By the team the punishment comes, there is enough time to disconnect the action from the result and create alternate justifications. This gives a people a long time to escalate. Being a likable person likely gives you even more time.

In the corporate world the lines are also a bit fuzzier. Is expensing a not-quite business dinner with overpriced wine embezzlement? Depends on who you ask. But doing so will surely embolden your next action. These people probably also display some level of narcissism/sociopathy. Minimizing victims by calling them "small people." Nonrecognition of emotional damage. I wonder how many of these people surround themselves with a cadre of enablers who are more willing to look the other way. And when its all said and done, they are on to the next thing.
I agree with this "It's really hard to tell the difference between late stage capitalism and fraud".

The best example to illustrate this principle is the unholy alliance between Big Pharma and the government, particularly the FDA.

Big Pharma lobbyist write the rules that the FDA enforces and the most ambitious people working at the FDA, after a few years, leave to work at Big Pharma.

The covid19 pandemic exposed the public at large to the way this unholy alliance works, but there have been numerous cases of abuse by the Big Pharma companies who consider paying fines like these https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_pharmaceutical... a cost of doing business.

In the context of AI, we are assisting to another of these abusive practices in the making particularly if an FDA-styled agency is created to regulate AI.
