Cool! Stone circles to hold timbers for a housing structure. Makes sense, if the ground is too rocky to dig post holes.

One strange comment: they found gazelle and bird bones, concluding that the peoples interacted with others further afield because they were 'non-native species'. What, did they have refrigerated trucks to transport this meat from far away? Surely those species were native at the time - isn't this finding pretty much a smoking gun for that?

Anyway, I like their interpretation of structures as domestic, instead of the lazy 'ritual purpose' explanation.
Nowadays one can write pretty standard C++20 (minus modules), alongside CUDA frameworks that hide the non standard stuff on their internals.
Good point!

I do think that most uses of the status code are either redundant (e.g. in API responses there is usually a second, much more detailed error description in the body), doesn't fit the data model (404 can mean everything from "you mistyped the service name" to "this entity does not exist", there is a retrofuturistic "payment required" code that has nothing to do with real ecommerce) or without consequence (if it's just shown in the browser)

I still don't want to argue for sending the wrong status codes like in the bad old times - it absolutely can be a problem for intermediaries - but I wouldn't have thought it to be enough of a problem to warrant its own additional protocol feature.

But I absolutely agree that, now that we have it, the 103 code is far better than any kind of hack.
Yeah, it's that weird thing where someone will put an enormous amount of effort into a piece of work, then skimp on the "presenting this to the world" part because maybe they don't find that bit interesting.

I assume you were talking about using hashes to encode some property of the program that you use for bisection. git bisect is still bisection but somewhat different IMO
Also cold air always keeps down. Its not as dramatic as in water, but it does happen.

Plain HTTP (as in curl without any extra headers) is already an S3-compatible client.

If this 'Garage' doesn't support the plain HTTP use case then it isn't S3 compatible.
Beside personal photo store, I use the storage part for file store at work (basically, indexing is off), with a simplifying wrapper for upload/download: github.com/tgulacsi/camproxy

With the adaptive block hashing (varying block sizes), it beats gzip for compression.
Prolog provides predicates to throw and catch exceptions and it's simple to test that a predicate is called in the right "mode" (i.e. what variables are bound on entry and on exit).

That detracts from the declarative aesthetics of the program code so it upsets purists but it is very useful to those who want to actually use the language to actually write actual programs and so can avoid lots of wailing and gnashing of teeth.

In other words, Prolog is like any other programing language: if you're careful, you will not hurt yourself. Also applies to chainsaws, bathtubs, and banana peals.
Minio doesn't, it has bucket replication and it works okay.
You’re joking but I actually think this is part of how the CEO will frame things to investors.
I've found it to be more common in organisations with an immature microservices culture, where developers seem to think there are awards for most number of languages used. At some point, sanity takes hold, and there is a process to standardise - involving lots of rewrites of small codebases.
@bachmeier Yeah, you can get a lot of utility out of combining tools like fzf, gum together in a shell script.

For more fine grained controls, you can look into TUI frameworks like bubbletea, ratatui, Textual etc.
I use CephFS.

Blob storage is easier than POSIX file systems:

You have server-client state. The concept of opened files, directories, and their states. Locks. The ability for multiple writers to write to the same file while still providing POSIX guarantees.

All of those need to correctly handle failure of both the client and the server.

CephFS implements that with a Metadata server that has lots of logica and needs plenty of RAM.

A distributed file system like CephFS is more convenient than S3 in multiple ways, and I agree it's preferable for most use cases. But it's undoubtedly more complex to build.
Could you share how many times your comment was upvoted?
You manage to make it look like no one can make a sane choice for themselves. Other countries can only do what we want (because WE want cheap products WE make them do bad stuff), and we can only do what they want (if they offer something that is cheaper then we automatically must buy it and not care about any damage or side-effects). It's a paradox isn't it?

In reality it is government's choice, to go for short term riches and maintaining power or act more ethically and think long term. And consumers pay more all the time for things like "no slave labour" (idk how well it's enforced, I just say it's a value), "ethically sourced materials", "recycled", "no spying malware", blahblahblah, just look at Android vs iPhone.
Absolutely incorrect. I am strongly supportive of such websites. This is a public forum and it is being constantly scraped and datamined. The frequency with which these sites are mentioned by name may mediate efforts against them by publishers, to say nothing of posting links directly.
In most of Ukraine that would be called "samohon", which can be translated as "self-brewed" and is an umbrella term for a bunch of liquors similar to those described in the article. Vodka (or "horilka" how it's known in Ukrainian) is a specific drink that's mostly ethanol and does not include any supplements.
Very very impressive! Lots of success coming their way if they keep going!
S3 is just HTTP. There isn't really an ecosystem for S3, unless you just mean all the existing http clients.

Creative solution to a problem they had - no job and apparently only a backpack to their name, but the story quickly fell appart when I realised that they bought delivery robots, laser engravers, clothing, seals, double digit ipads, etc. Clearly they are loaded and just trying to downplay their invasion of privacy and perhaps downright illegal cloning of voice and appearance to get a job. Good job on that one company calling them out.
nit: I find the writing in this post very distracting. (Grammar and style pet peeves)

Luckily, it is now trivial to drop the post into Claude and say "Re-write this without <list of things that bother me>"

My two cents:
Ask for a market salary
And add a condition linked to dilution:if he dilutes you by 50% , salary rises by 100% and so on
That way, you garantee yourself a market salary and if the investors come, your salary will increase accordingly if you are diluted.
The JavaScript ecosystem historically had a lot of turnover. Probably there are a lot of applications that repeatedly ported over the years: Ruby to JavaScript, to coffescript, to flow types (for React), to Typescript.

I think that these language ports aren’t as disruptive as architecture changes (waffling on microservices), and they’re driven by availability of talent. Porting to follow the trend makes it easier and much more pleasant to onboard new developers. It usually has a practical benefit to users, because the latest tooling usually has a performance edge, but doesn’t support the old language.

NLnet funds tactical feature improvements in selected OSS projects, not Google-scale underwriting of employee teams.

> don't have the bandwidth to pull off this sort of delicate technical work

What's the basis for this claim? There are literally 1,000 technical work engagements listed above, scoped in detail and reviewed by a few humans (not "all of Europe") at NLnet, with a track record of successful delivery to upstream OSS projects.
The EU has the most advanced data protection laws on the planet. Sure, the competition is miserable, but at least Europe has tried.
If you have ever tried to make and train a Neural Network you know how hard it is to get access to GPU to train your Neural Networks. Sure you can use free version of google collab for the same but it comes with its own bottle neck.

I have created an Application that can take advantage of the Idle GPU's That people have in their Laptops.

By Crowdsourcing these GPU, I can have a gpu cluster that I use to train your neural networks.

Not Only that, you dont have to setup any Cloud Instances and all that Complicated Stuff

All you need to do is install the python Library to which I have already provided the link to
and just call a pre-defined function

Everything Else regarding training, will be handled by us and the completed, final trained model will be returned back to you.

If Anyone is Interested in knowing more and testing out my product and open to giving feedback

Third-party blobs running in kernel space being delivered through their own channels without anyone in the company signing them off?

I don’t think I ever met a Unix person with whom that idea would fly.
Interesting, hadn't heard of PartyKit. FWIW Reflect seems to be pivoting sometime over the next 6 months, and they're going to open source their code, along with instructions on how to self-host. So if you're looking for long-term cost reduction, that might not be a bad choice.
That cannot be the reason for a 30-50% slowdown. Uncontested locks are very fast.
Prolog was never designed for function approximation, like Neural Nets, so there is no comparison. Machine Learning with Prolog is perfectly possible and not at all clumsy. In fact these days we can even say it is done elegantly, by raising everything to the second order of logic where deduction and induction become one and the same.

Let me know if you need links and refs, but please try to keep your knowledge up-to-date before making big, splashy statements like "Prolog is very, very dead".
It is not “companies” but individuals. But yes, there are a lot of people that are only driven by greed and power. But not all by a long shot. I believe most of society would fail if everyone was doing the maximum they could get away with. So, there should be a lot of people that don’t seek the maximum they can get away with.

But I agree that a lot of companies are so big and so faceless, that they do too much bad stuff and lots of people in the company would just shrug it off with “it is not my job to say something”.

No, but even if the US and Western Europe went net zero, that's still not enough to offset global GHG emissions coming out of China to prevent catastrophic climate change.

If you, a wealthy westerner, want to tell billions of people in China to stop enjoying middle class luxuries for the first time because it's bad for the environment, be my guest. I have no such desire.

Yes, good point. Even within React, there's been a big change from class components to functional components and hooks. I imagine LLMs could help with some of that.
Surely this story will be turned into a movie that will "bear" no resemblance to the facts.

Don’t be coy, out with it! Legions of programmers are dying to know which language has solved versioning and dependencies.
I’m not sure if you use Ultimate Guitar, but if so, go look up a simple fingerpicked song, like Helplessly Hoping, by Crosby Stills and Nash. If you look at the chords… well, that’s a straightforward view mostly for people interested in strumming. The chords are listed above the lyrics and the chord shapes are listed at the top. This is all relevant info.

Then look at the Pro tab. The fingerpicking patterns are shown, and which string/fret should be picked, but there’s no chord name listed when it would be helpful for somebody like me to see just a simple chord name above the measure as a cue for my fretboard hand without having to look at the individual plucked strings/frets spread over the measure to determine the chord. I hope that makes sense.

Sometime it might be a challenge to fit it, but there are many instances where it would be a helpful assist for reading the tab.

Sure, we can slice that way if you prefer it but it doesn't make it a more interesting or non-repetitive thing to discuss. Beside there being a place to talk about it if you see it differently.
But it is Windows because the kernel should be able to roll back a bad update, there should NEVER be BSODs.

Sometimes, if only because recently, Ryanair has "overbooked" for their actual cabin bag capacity, forcing you to place your bag below deck if you're one of the last ones.

I find the whole thing despicable, but the behavior is rational (according to the rules Ryanair set up, at least).

I looked at the evidence and it seemed to me it was not healthy to give blood so I stopped.

I'd be pushing on this hard, it isn't getting better and it'll swing on a dime if general opinion goes badly on the health issue.

I image it's close to impossible to do science on this in the West anymore, the universities are full of Imposters and private industry isn't going to put up with the grief from university Imposters and the general public for the amount this is worth.

Hope that China sees it as a priority. People who support real science need to find a way to support China.

"Right now my relative is using hot water to wash her head" is very far cry from "having water all year round"

By the way, that's not quite a flex since people still use hot water to wash heads when there's no central hot water. My friends and relatives in Russia were doing that before this month ;) Spoiler: kettles and buckets.

I guess it could also involve building proper crossings.
They are very similar, but wgsl is its own language. Vulkan can run SPIR-V shaders written in glsl, hlsl or slang. Other experimental languages exist (like rust-gpu).

Wgpu is a bit behind on GPU features, for example they've added support for shader subgroups (aka warps or waves) in 2024, where as this feature was available in Vulkan 1.1 released in 2018 or Direct3d 12 shader model 6.0 (same timeframe). Wgpu still does not support buffer device address ("GPU pointers") which I consider quite a game changer.

Many popular tools, e.g. RenderDoc, don't have wgpu support.

If you are not targeting the web platform, wgpu isn't really bringing anything to the table.
I forget "JS and the web" all the time because I've been actively avoiding it for the past 20 years. It happens in other environments but the web seems to encourage "following the trend" and that would make me crazy if I had to do this every day.
No worries, we can ask another LLM for verification.
>Billions can't afford air conditioning. An air conditioning unit is equal to their entire annual income.

Air conditioning can get radically cheaper to meet market demand, and they can start making radically more money.

Other products have gone from expensive to cheap (think TVs over the last 40 years), other people have gone from poor to prosperous (think China).

Do you have a good reason why these outcomes are possible TVs and for Chinese people, but not for ACs and equatorial people?
Earl Washington is a very interesting character. Obsessed with making wood printing blocks while also being a top-level con artist.
I mean, we are on a post that's talking about potential future mistakes, with "fear" literally in the title; indeed noone can know if such will materialize, but it's well worth noting and discussing such.

> and even then different vendors will have different goals and very likely different quality of implementation

And that's, like, the entire problem. RVV's design allows for otherwise-reasonable designs where fixed-width usages suffer (whereas there's literally no reason to do equivalent things on NEON/x86). And given that I doubt that the designers of such chips would be making legal mandates to not run general-purpose software on such, were such hardware to become real, general-purpose software could easily end up being expected to work well on it.

Yes, said RVV design does in fact allow having those different goals, which is good. ..For those goals. Pretending noone's gonna try to use hardware for anything other than its strictly intended purpose is nothing more than wishful thinking.

SG2380 / X280 are already known to have a very horrible vrgather, which is gonna be extremely awful for fixed-width stuff, and even some scalable stuff too. And SG2380 is rather explicitly for general-purpose computing.
This midwit believes a half decent Operating System kernel would have a change tracking system that can auto-roll back a change/update that impacts the boot process causing a BSOD. We see in Linux, multiple kernel boot options, fail safe etc. It is trivial to code at the kernel the introduction of driver / .sys tracking that can detect a failed boot and revert to the previous good config. A well designed kernel would have roll back, just like SQL.
First, I think this is difficult to pitch from a commercial point of view. At least some subset of your fans are interested in what Arthur Dent is doing, not some other guy who exists in the same universe with his own wacky adventures. Publishers of any creative work are not known for their desire to take risks.

Second, he did branch out and wrote the Dirk Gently books and his travelogue about seeing endangered species. He didn't seem to have much more fun writing those, and they were not as commercially successful, by far.

Isn't that the whole trickle down unsubstantiated bullshit used to sell all sorts of non working measures to the masses?

So, the whole problem is pretty obvious: you cannot save enough to invest. Banks are not interested in savings, they're interested in extraction of cheap labor and resources - which requires owning.
Investment as well is only provided under bad rates, under such speculation.

And when it's not the locals owning anything, they remain poor and cannot save.

Economic growth is a wrong measure of wealth: one needs to look at who grows.

The value of life in the United States

The following estimates have been applied to the value of life. The estimates are either for one year of additional life or for the statistical value of a single life.

- $50,000 per year of quality life (the "dialysis standard",[38] which had been a de facto international standard most private and government-run health insurance plans worldwide use to determine whether to cover a new medical procedure)[39]

- $129,000 per year of quality life (an update to the "dialysis standard")[40][39]

- $7.5 million (Federal Emergency Management Agency, Jul. 2020)[5]

- $9.1 million (Environmental Protection Agency, 2010)[41]

- $9.2 million (Department of Transportation, 2014)[42]

- $9.6 million (Department of Transportation, Aug. 2016)[43]

- $12.5 million (Department of Transportation, 2022)[44]
I'd image it's pretty typical analytics stuff.

• Logging events for errors.

• Seeing device statistics to know which browsers/devices to support/optimize for.

• Reviewing page flows to understand how users navigate/understand the site. Is the navigation easy to understand? Are the right pages highly-visible?

• Seeing which pages have high drop off rates, indicating either a resolution or lost hope.

• Analyzing trends over time to better understand users and the topics they're focused on. Is there high traffic to covid-19 symptom pages? Or maybe student loan forgiveness resources?

I can see a lot of meaningful and actionable data being gleaned from such systems. It's much more difficult to make improvements without supporting data.
Apparently the flaw was added to the config file in post-processing after it had completed testing. So they thought they had testing, but actually didn't.
Sure. Mostly. But the optics of adding an extra step for the disadvantaged & minorities could turn kinda sour.
