Yawn. This happens all the time with NATO or Nato-associated airplanes, too.

You just don't see it on western media. ONLY on RT, Sputnik-News(which are censored/DNS-blocked for most europeans), or other russian-language media(which I don't follow).

With not so recent developments regarding photoshoppery/AI-fakery, and so on, I wouldn't give a shit, if I hadn't seen it myself. (With some overlay of accurate GNNS position/direction/bearing/ground-/airspeed on a map)

Some low-resolution snapshot does not count, even if it says 'copyright swedish government'.

If you want more options, Reddit's one of the best places to find organic product recommendations from real users. It's also where people go to complain whenever they get screwed over. Reddit's where I found someone recommending the XPedition, so both treat my recommendation with the appropriate level of salt, and also feel free to make the same search I did to find more options to evaluate.
Within my prior company they circulated this "Software Architecture for Developers" book by Simon Brown: https://leanpub.com/b/software-architecture.

It's still on my reading list, though. I've moved on from that company. But it came highly recommended, because they also documented their architecture with the C4 model.

Has anyone here read it?

Lucid CEO says its Air has hit efficiency of 5 miles per kWh
Is that a "no" on the data front, then?
I desperately want visual programming to succeed.

There must be a better way than text to make a program.
It's kind of annoying that the web is so bad that reddit is the best place to get recommendations, but you're right, that's where I do all my research nowadays. I'll look there, thanks!
It would be kind of less interesting if they just figured it all for you and served it up on a silver platter don't you reckon? Where is your phreaking spirit at? :)

In the before computers times there was an ironically titled book called 'Steal This Book'.

Amongst a verity of other things it describes one of the funniest and most beautiful hacks I've ever heard of. I'm leaving this as a hint for others for fun or the rare cases that I know are on here that absolutely need to eat without money.

It requires one trusted accomplice and an all you can eat buffet. The rest is up to you to find out. It always works flawlessly and has for over half a century.
Static arrays are the best vectors
It's mostly still data in the unstructured realm. One case is "messaging" data (live indexing of communications, social, news updates, etc.). Another case is data which was not originally text but can be easily transcribed into text with an "adapter" - this includes live audio/video/screenshot streams. For now Pathway works with discrete event streams, so audio transcription needs to be done upstream - e.g. by pairing up a live captioning service with Pathway.
On the use case side, it tends to be less about interactive question/answer and more alerting handled with pre-registered queries ("alert me when X happens").
I'm not high. What are you implying?
> Who's advocating doing nothing, is that something I said?

I mixed you up with the other poster, but your comment and theirs together very much pattern-matches to such a position, yes.

> You clearly stated "Zero". That's incorrect. The energy demands of mining are not insignificant by any means.

I said zero in the context of "how much coal and how many mountain tops are needed".

This remains correct.

Zero mountains need to be levelled, zero coal needs to be used.

And what do you mean by "insignificant"? Your own citation is saying 4-8 months to repay their own energy cost, for devices which last 25-30 years. I think 1.1-2.6% of their lifetime output counts as "insignificant" in proportional terms, even though that's a big number when you multiply 2 TW by 30 years to find out what it takes to scale to the current global electricity demand.

> You've not ever mined anything or worked in geology, have you?

Have you?

Silicon is the second most abundant element in earth's crust after oxygen.

The doping agents are less common, but also you need far less of them.

Again, no mountains need apply — even for the single most important element, the scale needed is a big hill, not even a small mountain.
> Lidar is much better, but cost prohibitive to put onto vehicles for driver assistance

Why, actually? Luminar sells LiDARs (that they market as intended for vehicles) for $1000. Tesla sells FSD Beta for $12000.

Do you believe a much more expensive LiDAR (than Luminar) is needed?
For SSH, changing to a random port number resulted in zero connection attempts from bots for months on end. It seems bots just never bother scanning the full 65535 port range.
My time on this Earth is sadly finite. In light of this, I cannot learn every language. I must employ heuristics to decide whether something is worth doing. One of those for programming languages is: "Do the people who make this seem like they have good ideas?" In this case, the answer was no. When I listened to the creators of Zig, the answer was yes. I don't think it's at all unfair to make people aware of this conclusion, especially when I am clear that it is not one reached from actual study of the language. It is a sign to the creator of the language that he should present it and his ideas surrounding it in a better way so as not to drive people off. If he cannot do this, then the ideas are likely bad and so not worth looking into.

I'm judging the book by its cover, because that's what covers are for.
Also solo founder here, for myself you just have to watch costs like a hawk when you make any big changes. AWS and friends have calculators but there is only so much you can estimate and it’s hard to know the usage patterns till something is live.

I’m lucky that my work is event-based, as is it used by in-person live events so my usage comes in waves (pre-sales a month or two out, steady traffic the week leading up to the event, and high traffic the day before or week/day of the event). This means that at worst I only have to ride out the current “wave” and then I have some amount of time before the next event (gives me an opportunity to fix run-away costs.

One of my big runaway costs was when I tried to use something like Datadog/NewRelic/Baseline. You work yourself up to the cost of the service, make your peace with it (the best you can, since it’s also hard to estimate), then get hit with AWS fees (that none of the providers call out) for things like CloudWatch when they are pulling logs/metrics out. I’ve had the CloudWatch bills be 4-6x as expensive as the service itself and it’s a complete surprise (or was the first time). Thankfully AWS refunded it when it happened. I caught it after 2 days and had run up a few hundred dollars in that time, I could have handled it but thankfully they refunded it for me.

The second runaway cost was Google Maps, once you fall off that free tier the costs accumulate quickly. In just a few days I had a couple hundred in fees from that. I scrambled a switch to ProtonMaps and took my costs down to a couple dollars a month.
Thanks for your suggestion; I'll read the two books.
Does it work in practice? The Russian censorship machine has only reached these kinds of reaction times in the last year or so, and they had to boil the frog for a decade to achieve that.
> Replying to job ads and offering to freelance instead

Sounds obvious, but I had never thought of doing this. How did it work out? How keen were the companies on such an arrangement? Perhaps it could also be a way to work for some cool small US companies that are otherwise hiring in the US only.
"Hey leloctai, what's the new URL for <torrent_site>?"
I also had that problem (and still have), but I found my best gig on the UpWork.

UpWork is a race to the bottom, but only if you are unknown and have no reviews. Once you get a reputation, it gets better. It takes a lot of time, and for me, it's still the process. In the beginning, I focused only on getting good reviews without paying attention to the earnings.

I am based in Germany, and as you can guess, the money I earned couldn't even cover the electricity bills. But I got a few good reviews, and suddenly, one great client found me with a lot of work. Not only did he provide me with a lot of work, but he also referred me to other people, and I got more clients.

So, as someone said in the comments "Sometimes its just a matter of being in the right place at the right time or dumb luck."
Precedents aren't just in courts. People see something being done and then they want to do it too. If the law requires this then people who want to build systems that make it impossible would be in violation, which deters those systems from being built for the people who really need them.

It's a no but you presented a false dichotomy. Either we have data or people are freaking out just because its unpalatable. Of course its a fallacy cause there are other ways to get to the truth without having enough children have sex with adults to have a sizeable, representative data.

Get help.

Also I'm sure we have plenty data that sex can be traumatic even for grown women in consensual relationship. Sex is very strong experience. And your penis is not some holy grail all people want.
Do not try to be the smartest in the room; try to be the kindest
In my latest blog post, I highlight the value of kindness over intelligence in the workplace. I talk about how being kind—through listening, respecting others, showing empathy, and focusing on solutions—can significantly enhance team dynamics and productivity. While being smart is important, I believe that kindness leaves a lasting impact and creates a more positive and effective work environment.
It's just a question of funding. There's nothing that's needed to accelerate small enough probe on an escape trajectory at a few hundred km/s except plain old chemical rockets with enough stages. If we can accelerate a >500 kg probe to 20 km/s, we can certainly use an extra stage with 400 kg of propellant to boost a 1 kg probe to much higher velocities.

And nobody talked about the next ten years. The GP said "fifty years", which is way too long a time span to have any certainty whatsoever as to what will happen. GP's assertion was 100% ludicrously overconfident.
It would be interesting to study whether programmers reading a simulation of monty-hall would predict the same outcomes from the english-language question.

My view of many of these "non-intuitive" probability questions is the terrible phrasing favoured by the sorts who pose these problems. I'm fundamentally sceptical that animals have, in general, a "poor" understanding of probability.

I think it vastly more likely that natural language is a highly lossy communication system ill-fit for posing abstract problems that are outside of our ecological intuitions. It isn't probability at issue, but correctly recovering exactly what problem we're supposed to be considering.

Writing a program forces all assumptions into the open, and I'd bet you'd see far fewer mistakes -- yet our so-called intuitions about probability would be the same.
> This old device should support pulse tone dialing, but it did not work with mine. Might be the custom firmware, might be AVM dropping support in later versions, I'm not sure.

The timings of the phone's rotaty dial might be off. Allegedly FritzBoxes are rather conservative when it comes to these timings.

I just had the same problem with an old Tischfernsprecher W 48 which neither worked on a FritzBox 7560 nor a 7590. Adding a pulse to tone converter solved the problem.

Btw, in case pulse dialing works with a FritzBox one can dial # via hook flash. This allows to dial the internal numbers [0].

I would be interested if somebody also writes "Zig vs. V". I know the latter ate a lot of flak around here but I've been checking it a few times a year and it seems to legitimately make progress. But I won't be trying it myself, sadly my plate is quite full already.

Maybe an organization doing something like "Yearly round-up of systems languages" would be hugely beneficial to the community, provided anybody is willing to pick up the torch.
One kWh is the same energy use as a one bar electric heater on for an hour which is impressive for hauling 3 tons or howevermuch the chasis is 5 miles, until you realise that you could just walk those 5 miles and warm yourself up in the process for free.
If you have only public key authentication enabled with SSH I honestly don't understand why people bother with things like fail2ban. It just adds more moving parts with very little security gain.

The real risk is a zero-day in OpenSSH and fail2ban probably isn't going to protect you from that. In that case you are better served by putting another layer of defense in front of SSH like a VPN.
This was an incredible port, and certainly an engineering masterpiece given the target hardware.

The level geometry of this version was more complex than the PlayStation port, and it even had online multiplayer support.

One interesting difference though is that enemy sprites only face the player.

Then why did you continue the conversation? I'm not forcing you to make snide jabs at me in a public space, and you can hardly blame me for responding to them.

If you cannot explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.
What's the fallacy called where someone is making an argument and you're implying they're a pedophile?
That's not how it (ZRAM) works. You're holding it wrong.

Though I have to concede that there is much (mostly) wrong documentation about it on the net. On low RAM systems, where such stuff could happen, it may be insufficient to just use it, there is more setup necessary, beginning with https://docs.kernel.org/admin-guide/sysctl/vm.html?highlight... and associated sysctls.

Also tools making use of 'PSI - pressure stall information' are lacking, especially making use of these in an automated and universal way.
Migrating a Blog from WordPress to SvelteKit
Oh i'm kinda sure you are. It's called theory of mind.
My backend setup for my one-person startup ("case study" for my book, https://opinionatedlaunch.com) is GitHub (for code repo and CI/CD), Firebase (auth, analytics, push notif) and CloudFlare (static pages, DNS stuff) and Fly.io. Less work but more done.

My only complaint Fly.io doesn't have managed DB (https://fly.io/docs/postgres/getting-started/what-you-should...) and task queue.

At work we use GCP, but try to be as high as possible in the abstraction layer (e.g. use Cloud Run and Cloud SQL).
Among systems languages, I've mostly used C and Zig. I don't think dtor order is tricky so much as I think that defaulting to fine-grained automatic resource management including running a lot of destructors causes programs that use this default to pay large costs at runtime :(

I think the latter problem is impossible, you end up needing RAII or a type-level lifetime system that can't express a lot of correct programs. I would like something that prevents "accidentally didn't deinit" in simple cases, but it probably wouldn't prevent "accidentally didn't call reset on your FixedBufferAllocator" because the tooling doesn't know about your request lifecycle.
Then I know what I'm sure you are.
I guess some people are just very used to it nowadays, hence it will work pretty well to them - same as how someone might have 10+ years of experience in Java and pick it for a project and use it successfully, whereas someone else could find the pace of development in it to be slower than the alternatives (despite how decent it is nowadays).

Personally, I think that containers are a good choice for most webdev projects.

If you are just starting out, then Docker Compose is probably very much sufficient for anything that touches upon a single node.

Realistically, once you need to most past that, I feel like most folks would be served just fine by something like Docker Swarm + Portainer, you'd still need to run your own web server in front of your containers if you want something similar to an ingress, but in my eyes that's a plus, given how simple the config is (if you've ever installed Apache/Nginx/Caddy it's very much like that), or maybe go with Traefik if you must. There's scaling, resource reservations and limits, overlay networking between nodes, port mapping, storage, restart policies, configuration and pretty much most of the things you might reasonably need. Something like Hashicorp Nomad could also be mentioned here, but Docker Swarm seems like the simpler option to me.

Past that, it's not like you can't run a bit cut down versions of Kubernetes, that will decrease its surface area somewhat - K0s, K3s and others all try to do this. I personally rather like K3s, it also integrates with Portainer/Rancher nicely if you need a dashboard, you can take advantage of Helm charts and all that other good stuff. I found the choice of K3s using Traefik by default (when I last used it) a bit suspect (configuring a custom non-ACME wildcard cert as the default for the ingress wasn't exactly well documented), but overall it was an okay experience and the resource usage wasn't anything crazy either.

For my personal stuff nowadays, I still run a Docker Swarm cluster and I've no complaints there. It doesn't have autoscaling out of the box, but then again, my workloads are too boring to need that and I enjoy the predictability in billing I get.
I would say the combinator \x\y\z.x z (y (\t.z)) is more poetic than Y, since it forms a basis for combinatory logic all by itself. Not only can you make Y from it, but every other combinator as well. And it's the smallest term with that property.
Unfortunately, we still don't have great metrics for developer productivity, other than the hilari-bad lines of code metric. Jira tickets, sprints, points, t-shirt sizes; all of that is to try and bring something measurable to the table, but everyone knows it's really fuzzy.

What I do know though, is that ChatGPT can finish a leetcode problem before I've even fully parsed the question.

There are definitely ratholes to get stuck and lose time in when trying to get the LLM to give the right answer, but LLM-unassisted programming has the same problem. When using an LLM to help, there's a bunch of different contexts I don't have to load in because the LLM is handling it giving me more head space to think about the bigger problems at hand.

No matter what a study says, as soon as it comes out, it's going to get picked apart because people aren't going to believe the results, no matter what the results say.

This shit's not properly measurable like in a hard science so you're going to have to settle for subjective opinions. If you want to make it a competition, how would you rank John Carmack, Linus Torvalds, Grace Hopper, and Fabrice Bellard? How do you even try and make that comparison? How do you measure and compare something you don't have a ruler for?
Yes, censorship by establishment makes public curious. Often it is best PR of those sites.
Obviously the claim exists within the space of bills that somebody actually wants. The premise is that things major industries or politically connected plutocrats want get passed over the interests of the general public for all of the usual reasons, not that things nobody wants get passed without explanation.

Hey I'm the author of the post.

We ran Panelbear for about a year before merging it into Cronitor's codebase.

Cronitor is also a Django monolith but on EC2 and was already humming along nicely for several years through frequent traffic spikes.

We had no reliability issues with K8s, but came down to: as a small team we decided to have less moving parts.

The new setup is not too different from what I describe here: https://anthonynsimon.com/blog/kamal-deploy/

If you've reached that conclusion from my comments, fair enough. But I would suggest the difference between what I do and what you do is that I genuinely have listened to and had conversations with the creator of Odin, and I have concluded that I don't want to use a language designed in that way. Also that I don't really like him as a person.

In that same video I was talking about, he dismisses all users of OOP and FP as dogmatic and clueless. He is willing to call others' intelligence into question to sell you his language, so I will do the same for him to sell you on not using his language. Fair, no?
The Lazard report is pretty reliable, some 2023 figures for LCOE from: https://www.pv-magazine.com/2023/04/14/average-solar-lcoe-in...

Utility-scale solar PV comes in anywhere from $24/MWh to $96/MWh

Unsubsidized residential rooftop PV has an LCOE between $117/MWh and $282/MWh,

the LCOE of community and commercial and industrial (C&I) solar ranges between $49/MWh and $185/MWh.

When factoring in federal tax subsidies under the US Inflation Reduction Act, including domestic contest provisions, rooftop PV comes in at $74/MWh to $229/MWh, and community/C&I rooftop PV at $32/MWh to $155/MWh.

It is hard to find good comparative figures with similar assumptions (e.g. incentives, location, year), but the above give a ballpark.
Same here, and I periodically research but remain disappointed; people usually just write a tool to address their current pet peeve and 1-2 years later the tool is of course abandoned.

Using just[0] as a task runner has solved a lot of per-project-scripts problems for me but it still cannot do DAG analysis + parallel task running of tasks not blocked on each other (or allow you to opt into serial or parallel task running). So it remains firmly in just the "task runner" territory.

I know many people would jump at the opportunity to say "just learn `make`!" but no thanks, I value my sanity. `make` is also inheriting a lot of bash-ism weirdness which makes it even worse.

The mage[1] tool that uses `Magefile`-s might be it but it's a bit more verbose (as it's Golang) and I am not sure how well does it integrate with the shell. Maybe script[2] can be used to complement it.

Sadly I don't have the time (and lately the inclination) to experiment but there are tools out there and I wish we finally started unifying things.
