Exactly. Wasp, https://wasp-lang.dev, is the only framework in the React/Node/Prisma space that's taking this opinionated approach to full-stack development.

For example, you get full-stack auth by just adding this to your config file:

`auth.methods: { email: {}, google: {} }`

Then you on-the-fly Auth UI components and all the necessary hooks
Yeah, it's shame they didn't spruce it up a bit. e.g. some winter theming on the exterior, allowing for some commemorative swag at conferences like they had for the warehouse robots or the delivery drones (also largely gimmicks).
Turn off JavaScript. That works most of the time for me.
Maybe this will be the return of an OpenBSD home router for me. I ran one for years because it was a fun project but when gigabit became available in my area I learned a low power, passively cooled cpu struggled with gigabit traffic on OpenBSD.
It's also worth noting that the migration service only applies to data stored in one of the following services: BigQuery, Cloud Bigtable, Cloud SQL, Cloud Storage, Datastore, Filestore, Spanner, and Persistent Disk.
Using the calculator (https://calculator.aws/#/createCalculator/S3), AWS S3 "infrequent access" is $1.3M per month for 100PB. Not sure if that's single zone.
Even further: No business has the right to exist.

If your business can't make money because you have to respect the rights and freedoms of your customers, then close your shop up. If your business can't make money because you have to pay your workers enough to live, then close up shop. If your business can't make money because you have to abide the laws of the countries in which you operate, then close up shop.

This bizarre entitlement that entrepreneurs have, especially but far from exclusively in the tech space, that just because they want their business to exist and make money that they therefore have this strange innate right to transact and draw profit, even when providing subpar service, paying subpar wages, cutting corners in the work they do, etc. etc. has been entertained for far too long. The way I was always taught it, markets select for firms that provide service well, at competitive cost, and business is a RISK because of those things. Sometimes risks don't pay off.
The best doctors are the ones who listen carefully to the patient before dispensing their expert opinion. Very few do.

Perhaps that’s just because they’re jaded from having to deal with the public all day long…
Lol, anything can be true… doesn’t mean it actually is tho, it could be true we’re living on the sun… especially if we totally redefine the meaning of “living”, “true”, and “sun”.

Your comment didn’t add anything at all. I pointed out, the people making these claims have a bunch of ulterior motives that are totally at odds with them coming to a honest conclusion and you agreed and then baselessly made another claim that genocide could be happening without any further evidence.
You pay for impressions.
> They then started billing me for it because I was working in tech, in the job I had for 6 years before I ever even started their program.

That's damning. While I get that ISAs are controversial, I didn't expect this kind of nonsense - I wonder how common it was that enrollees were charged for "landing" their old job?

In any case, sorry this happened to you, hopefully this recent ruling will give you some recourse.
the article lists the following for gcp: BigQuery, Cloud Bigtable, Cloud SQL, Cloud Storage, Datastore, Filestore, Spanner, and Persistent Disk.
You mean buying rack space? can you suggest some data centers?
The article never gets to the punch line, which is behind a paywall.

It also fails to mention how thoroughly Intel wiped the floor with competitors in the "Workstation" space who had their own RISC flavors and mostly went out of business with the exception of IBM's PowerPC.

It takes massive investment to make top performing chips which makes it a lot unlike, say cars, where a company like Ferrari can successfully make high performance cars in small numbers. Intel won HPC because it won the Desktop, not the other way around -- one reason why I am still irked when analysts talk about Intel being driven by HPC and hyperscalers while most of their sales still go to the client division. (If there's a reason to pander to hyperscalers it is that they're in a better position to move to another architectures.)

The first force to challenge Intel has been ARM and it is not because ARM is fundamentally a better ISA but because ARM parts for phones are produced in such huge numbers, ARM achieved economies of scale that Intel never did.

If I was going to point to a real weakness in Intel it is Microsoft, that is, the very slow evolution of the Windows platform such that Windows only started requiring the 2008 POPCOUNT instruction this year. It's not about POPCOUNT, it is about all of the new instructions added since then, which are a major part of claimed performance improvements. It's about a SIMD programming model that makes you rewrite your apps every 2 years, a model that delivers value to the national labs but not to the ordinary user. Apple retires older computers after a certain time in the sense of not providing new OS versions which means that newer OSes can be written to support 5 year computers, with Microsoft it is more like 15.
I can set up an S3 bucket, efs, access, and backups, all reliable and geographically distributed in a single working day.
The disc could then just be a caddy for a micro SD memory card, which when inserted on the disc slot would promptly launch a game stored in there.

Selecting games from a virtual library never has the same kick as when you insert a cartridge or a dis[ck] into a machine and have it boot from that.

Edit: I also realized you may as well cut out the memory card and just have each "fake" disc encode (perhaps optically) a little ID which the machine could read (perhaps a cheap camera) and associate to a game already stored in the machine's internal memory.
The EU does not allow you to trade away your privacy rights in exchange for free goods or services.
Hi - really appreciate the response here! This is one of the areas that's given me confusion, as a front-end dev I'm not totally familiar with how to securely set-up auth on the backend. My ideal tool would take care of this lift for me. Tbh I was surprised to see people commenting on concerns for Supabase auth as (from what I can tell) it's a battle-tested production ready platform.
I would say compare the OpenBSD documentation for ground up install to network serving to any other documentation source for the same process.

OpenBSD will definitely be straight forward and easy to follow all from a single "manual". I'm sure there are other OSs that compare favorable to OpenBSD but those other OSs would also be high quality.
I've only ever clicked on ads by accident. Does anybody actually click through and buy? The few products I came across through ads, I googled for them at a later date, and I can't even think of any that I ended up buying.
> Flat designs are a logical consequence of form reflecting function, you're interacting with digital, binary elements that are on or off.

A finger or mouse is not a "digital, binary element", it needs to be actively pointed at and grab stuff. The whole point and "function" of 3D depth in UI is to highlight things that you can aim at and grab.
Got any others?
FWIW, I thought he did pretty well and came away more convinced of his theses. For most of Tyler's alternative and let's say colorful explanations of the data, Haidt provided different sets of data and explanations that were more convincing. As a libertarian and techno optimist, Tyler seemed pretty biased, for example when he offered as an explanation for the plummeting mental health of teens at the exact time smartphones get introduced a random " maybe everyone's mood just got worse randomly". The only thing Haidt didn't refute that well was Tyler's (imo overconfident) assertion that teens will just use AI to summarize social media to them and spend more time with friends.

my 3 chickens have deep and complex social dynamics all while being able to pinpoint grains of quinoa off the ground faster than a robot while being able to spot the faintest outline of the tiniest potential threatening hawk 2 miles away in the sky, fully discerned from various crows flying around that don't phase them at all. their little brains are processing far more than me.
Eyeballing this chart: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Hard_drive_capacity_over_...

It looks like over the past 8 or so years you're looking at a maybe a tripling in capacity. Cut the size of the truck down by a third, accounting for the fact the truck couldn't have been stuffed with every cubic inch being hard drive due to the need to walk in it, weight limits, cooling, wiring, etc., and I think it's not hard to see that even if it did make sense at the time, it's not hard to run the numbers and build some 4-6 U storage units and ship those instead. Even if you ship 4 of those it's cheaper than a truck by quite a bit.

Also, if you're willing to spend the dough, flash density can be pushed even higher, I think. You might need some custom hardware to manage power to the drives, so only the drives the customer is filling right now are powered (heat management is going to be a big deal with flash), but that's not impossibly difficult.

You can even drain an entire data center by cycling the same 3 or 4ish units around. Fill one up, send it in, Amazon loads it up, send the same unit back. Even if it takes 10 loads you don't necessarily need 10 hunks of hardware.

Personally I have the sneaking suspicion that it was always a marketing stunt and never actually made monetary sense. It was just a grand gesture to reassure people that they could indeed move to the cloud, which was a large concern for a lot of large customers. In that sense it probably paid for itself. And once you do have it in hand, maybe the marginal costs are still attractive and you go ahead and use it sometimes. But I'd personally bet the "round robin of 4-6U storage racks" would always have been more economical regardless of hard drive densities.
For what is worth, you can also run containerized GUI apps.
Privacy is an important right like any other. It cant simply be traded away. I may agree to work for pennies in your sweat shop, but the state prevents that being a legal trade.
If you are willing to sign a contract and commit to spend $ millions per year on AWS services for 5+ years like Epic Games did, then sure, you can get the same $/TB price they got.

At some point of very large usage, you also have to work with AWS teams to give input on your demand forecast.

Unless you have such large usage you get list price, that also gives you the illusion of infinite elasticity.

This is not exclusive to AWS though, all hyperscalers have this policy.
Why does Jetbrains IDEA in the App Store Screenshot use the Godot Game Engine Avatar?
I should have added "effective" policy, then ;)
Then what is a reasonable price? They could define it. Though it does sound like in the article the opinion from the board that any price is too much.

I also have no idea how they came up with that number, since earlier in the article they mention 9.99 and 12.99 a month.
Baking is literally chemistry. You don't get consistent results if you measure a powder of quite variable density by volume instead of mass.

Because you’re a more expensive customer per dollar of revenue, statistically - there are constant costs per customer for support, billing, etc.
It's fairly easy to google. "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances."
They can just offer the paid service, and remove the free one. That should show the EU, right?
Yeah that's an old debate for sure. Its effectively an offshoot of the question of whether governments have power by default unless limited by the people, or if power is granted at the lowest level unless specifically given to the higher authorities.

In this case, it seems like having regulations is a horse and pony show if the government can enforce regulations that don't yet exist. In the most kind view, writing regulations is helpful so we at least know what they already plan to enforce. In a pessimistic view, writing regulations is only done to help the public think that everything is above board and that power isn't, and won't, be abused.
I'm experimenting with using them to help me make a mod for a game (Vic3). It has a lot of config files and I'm using AI to help generate the data structures and parsers/serializers.

It's coming along but very hit or miss with the small models I'm using (all my poor 6750XT 12GB can manage).

I could be doing something wrong though, even with GPT-4 im struggling a bit - it's very lazy and doesn't want to fully populate the data structure fields (the game file objects can haze dozens/hundredss of fields). I'm probably just not using the right incantation/magic phrase/voodoo?

I'll try to be more generous with my description.

When I brought up dich0timous thinking, it was not in response to "no, that wouldn't change my mind" but rather "the only options are to capitulate to the scam or fight it in a way that puts someone else at risk".

There's a strange correlation between pedantry and dichotomous thinking in resarch literature. They are also over-indexed in STEM fields, so I guess it shouldn't be surprising when it's commonly encountered on this forum.
ok phew I was super confused.
i don't like people who spam "well ackkktually" and make it so entire categories of phrases need to be eliminated to appease their neurosis.
The robot set could help people in some practical aspects that money can solve too, but in a more complicated way.

If you suffer from arthritis and need something from the topmost shelf, you can theoretically find paid help, but it takes some time to arrange and wait for, and most people respond by coping somehow (e.g. limiting their use of furniture to the subset easily reached).

A robot could do it for you on demand.

That said, maybe people would stop walking altogether, and simply let themselves being carried around their own house by robots. All such conveniences can turn to evil.

It’s ironic that you’re talking about entitlement when the EU is more or less telling meta to provide its services for free.

Given that many EU countries are part of the 14 eyes alliance, these laws seem more like hypocritical protectionist legislation. They don’t care about the privacy of EU citizens. They only care about the survival of ancient EU companies. Ie why aren’t EU publishers subject to the same terms? Why can they offer targeted ads in lieu of payment?

EU protectionism is also one of the reasons why the US is growing tired of continuing to subsidize the EU’s defense.
Sure, but again we should write, review, and approve those regulations before trying to enforce them.

In this case, it would appear that enforcement is evolving while regulations aren't being changed.
That does seem to be the issue, pay or consent is illegal, but just pay pretty much has to be legal since that's how a lot of services already work.

The key here is that Meta is not just “A company.” Meta is effectively the communication infrastructure of a vast swathe of EU citizens. The EU has decided they have strong opinions about the administration of this infrastructure.
What's the parent post? People who aren't logged in with a Twitter account just see the words "Lambda School", because Twitter no longer shows any replies or parents.
Would it also be illegal to have 2 very similar services, with no small tier on one of them?
John Gruber’s take should make folks think twice about what’s going on here:

“””
What makes this all the more outrageous is that many major publishers in the EU use this exact same “pay or OK” model to achieve GDPR compliance — and none offer a free alternative with non-targeted ads. Don’t hold your breath waiting for Der Spiegel to offer free access without ads. Christ, they don’t even let you look at their homepage without paying or consenting to targeted ads. And Spotify quite literally brags about its ad targeting. But Spotify is an EU company, so of course it wasn’t designated as a “gatekeeper” by the protection racketeers running the European Commission.

They’re not saying “pay or OK” is illegal. They’re saying it’s illegal only if you’re a big company from outside the EU with a very popular platform.

There were no separatists in eastern Ukraine. The European Court of Human Rights has determined that the so-called separatists were either unmarked members of Russian armed forces and special services, or under their direct command. It was one big ruse and as you demonstrate, even ten years later, when all the facts are known, people are still believing a lie that was manufactured in 2014 as a cover story for the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

The Court held, on the basis of the vast body of evidence before it, that Russia had effective control over all areas in the hands of separatists from 11 May 2014 on account of its military presence in eastern Ukraine and the decisive degree of influence it enjoyed over these areas as a result of its military, political and economic support to the “DPR” and the “LPR”. In particular, the Court found it established beyond any reasonable doubt that there had been Russian military personnel present in an active capacity in Donbass from April 2014 and that there had been a large-scale deployment of Russian troops from, at the very latest, August 2014. It further found that the respondent State had a significant influence on the separatists’ military strategy. Several prominent separatists in command positions were senior members of the Russian military acting under Russian instructions, including the person who had had formal overall command of the armed forces of the “DPR” and the “LPR”. Further, Russia had provided weapons and other military equipment to separatists on a significant scale (including the Buk-missile used to shoot down flight MH17). Russia had carried out artillery attacks upon requests from the separatists and provided other military support. There was also clear evidence of political support, including at international level, being provided to the “DPR” and the “LPR” and the Russian Federation had played a significant role in their financing enabling their economic survival.

By the time of the 11 May 2014 “referendums”, the separatist operation as a whole had been managed and coordinated by the Russian Federation. The threshold for establishing Russian jurisdiction in respect of allegations concerning events which took place within these areas after 11 May 2014 had therefore been passed. That finding meant that the acts and omissions of the separatists were automatically attributable to the Russian Federation. /---/ In the absence of any evidence demonstrating that the dependence of the entities on Russia had decreased since 2014, the jurisdiction of the respondent State continued as at the date of the hearing on 26 January 2022.

You're ignoring one of the biggest things in the divide between the 'haves' and the 'broke': many of Gen-Z are deciding not to have kids, despite the negative effects that this profoundly selfish act has on society. Much easier to live a luxury lifestyle if you're not spending $50k/year on childcare, buying an extra 500-900sqft of housing, buying food for an extra 2-3 people, buying a car with a third row, and buying a never-ending stream of car seats, clothes, toys, diapers, shoes, books, gadgets, etc.

These same selfish people will be angry when any break at all is given to a colleague do to family circumstances (daycare closed for the day? kids have the flu?), but will expect to be taken care of just like the rest of us when they get old, despite the fact that they didn't contribute any children into the labor pool to provide for that care.
This is very program-dependent. In my department, approximately everyone was funded by NIH, with a few NSF.

Intel's own product in this space was Itanium which also went out of business.
> How could Google even work if content could not be seperated from its visual presention?

Approximately. Like it did and does.

The simplest way is to just strip the markup (or, for purposes of indexing, just ignore any token that resembles a HTML tag). That'll easily get you 90% there. You'll lose important information that's tied to form, but that's a consequence of operating in plaintext land. If doing this to build an index of the web, you'll have problem with scoundrels stuffing irrelevant text made invisible to humans by markup/CSS/JS, but that's exactly the problem Google used to have for a long time, and the essence of what SEO is :).
