Everything depends on the security compliance needs.

Regarding backup scheduler - sometimes companies need to have frequent backups due to their RPOs and RTOs, for example, if they operate in a highly regulated industry. If someone can tolerate the loss of data of two hours, then, they need to have backup performed every 2 hours, if we speak here about 8 hours (working day), so why not to have backups on a daily basis?

Regarding rotations - everything depends on a backup solution, if it provides with immutable backups, so the entire data won't be corrupted. Thus, the faster someone notices the mistake, the faster they can restore their copy. IDF helps more to decide the issue with storage - not to overload it (here also worth mentioning deduplication and compression).

Everyone wants what they can't have. Europeans want to drive in cities/suburbs and Americans want to walk. People in Paris/Madrid don't really value walkability all that much. It's an increasing trend to buy bigger and bigger SUVs.
If you’re opposed to the fundamental function of the USSC to the point that you’re unhappy with Marbury v Madison, then there’s not a whole lot of common ground to discuss the Chevron case and it’s overturn.

Don’t get me wrong, I honestly have no stake in the discussion since i’m not an American, and I’m well aware of the controversies in Marbury v Madison, I’m just trying to point out that while your objection to USSC’s fundamental role is well taken, the Loper case is more of an administrative law issue regarding the proper application of Section 706 of the Administrative Procedure Act, which reads:

To the extent necessary to decision and when presented, the reviewing court shall decide all relevant questions of law, interpret constitutional and statutory provisions, and determine the meaning or applicability of the terms of an agency action. [……]

The ideal constitutional function of the USSC seems tangential to Chevron and Loper, AFAICT

I visited Seattle the city proper recently, and also felt depressed. Not sure why I got that vibe. On paper Seattle is great, and no-doubt, the Pacific north west has good nature and tech-industry. It felt odd why Seattle felt "different".
Low tech solutions are so often available yet disregarded for lack of cool factor. Just like in software development.

This whole article is such a massive nothing burger. Some investors see the price drop as a negative sentiment, some see it as a positive sentiment. The put to call ratio is somewhat different than it was some days ago. You could literally publish this piece any day of the week without even looking at the market.

For what it's worth, I've been following your project here and on Instagram for a year or two, keeping an eye out for the day there is local API support. I haven't bothered to even request it until now, since I see at least one person request it in what feels like every thread. Inkplate seems to be the only thing close to competition right now.
I am over TE. Just today I was looking at the OP-1 that's had a dead key since it was about a year old and been completely non bootable since a year or so after that. With the EP-133 I made the mistake of believing TE would do a better job of the practical design of their instruments. But it broke with interface problems reported by thousands of people. TE wasn't very supportive of my repair request and I don't have time to chase them for a replacement of something fundamentally broken. I don't want more objects that won't last.
I don't understand why the folk of HN have felt your post needed downvoting. Thank you for your anecdote.

For several years I made a daily "meal replacement" smoothie. It was all whole foods, except for whey protein powder, including various greens, spices, nuts, seeds, etc. I varied it a little, including or excluding certain ingredients over the week. It covered my breakfast and lunch every week day. It was simple to make in the morning before work, because it became a habit. I knew that every day I was getting a huge range of healthy, whole food ingredients (albeit pre-chewed). I would additionally have a snack or two at work, and in the evening I'd cook something, but I felt no pressure to ensure that meal was nutritious. I could have pasta, with a bit of garlic and butter for example - which I love, but isn't very nutritionally dense.

I was super, super healthy during this time. In very good shape.

I eventually stopped when we had our first child and I couldn't always use the blender at the appropriate time (sleeping child), and I since just got out of the habit.
From my experience building medium scale ecommerce systems, along with innumerate payment integrations of various flavours, this isn’t unreasonable, for a few reasons.

Firstly, payment service providers honestly suck at providing a coherent staging environment. Either it’ll be out of date, or ahead of production, or full of garbage data that you can’t clear that breaks their outputs, or just plain not representative of the production environment. You’ll have stuff check out perfectly in staging only to be a hot mess on their live environment.

Secondly, if you’re doing this stuff at scale, it’s not as simple as “make an API call and get a result” - you’ve got your egress and ingress to worry about, at different levels (NAT, load balancing, packet routing, http(s) proxies), and there’s a host of stuff that can go wrong for subtle reasons.

We used to (for they are now just a shopify shop since my departure a decade ago) do exactly as is described - test in staging as much as it is useful, and then go live with an immediate test built into the deployment toolchain, with automatic rollback in case of failure for any reason.

It worked. The only payment issues we ever had after having the realisation that testing on staging was damned near meaningless, were on the side of the payment gateway.
First of all, in some sense it is not that interesting of a statement. Whether gravity is a force or not, or whether light is a particle or a wave -- all that depends on definitions of the word force, particle, wave, etc. And nowadays that is the realm of philosophy instead of physics.

Ultimately physicists care not about the words but rather about the equations. Only equations allow them to predict the outcome of experiments (at least probabilistically). A physicists' ultimate dream is to find a single set of equations that predicts every experiment. Words are just used to describe what the equations do, to colleagues and laypeople alike.

So yes, our best model to describe gravitational phenomena is general relativity which describes these phenomena in terms of the bending of spacetime.

If you want to go back to a "force" description of general relativity you can do so as it's a free world. The description of all the other forces starts with a fixed background spacetime, so to do the same with gravity you'll have to contort the elegant covariant equations of general relativity into an ugly mess by expanding around such a background. And then your resulting "theory" will predict exactly the same experimental outcomes as general relativity. (Around flat space it is not so difficult, it produces Newton's law of gravity to the first approximation.)

All that just does not seem worthwhile. More importantly, the discovery of general relativity (and of the importance of general covariance) led to a paradigm shift in physics: all reasonable physicists now believe that any fundamental theory will not ultimately be a set of equations on a fixed background spacetime but rather a set of equations from which spacetime itself should somehow emerge. Very different, therefore, from quantum field theory which needs a fixed background and describes all the other forces in the standard model.

This was my attempt at addressing the "not like the other forces". For the quantum dynamics see the sibling comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41179419 . And thank you for teaching me about the "permanent" and "immanant" of a matrix, but I still have no idea what that comment is supposed to mean - sorry.
I think this can be generalized to any hobby.
When you sorta know you can't really aspire to the art for your own normal limitations, expanding gear knowledge becomes part of the enjoyment, as a sort of surrogate.
Nothing wrong with that, though, as it really keeps the economy of some niche gear producers going for the benefit of everyone! :D
FWIW, usb-c hubs work on usb-c port iOS devices too.
I am really interested if that really matters.

Package managers often comes with rating system. npmjs has weekly downloads, pull requests, and other popularity scores.

I am layman in AI, but why would anyone think that this would affect anything, like AI? Why would anyone train on noname package, that noone uses?

Stats for spam packages can have higher-than-none stats, but that also makes them vulnerable for sweep removal of all potential spam packages, since they are connected, etc. etc.

Any credible company will not use a noname spam package, will verify their contents. That is at least what happened in all companies I have worked for.

The deflationary by design is a fallacy.

It will lead to old investors becoming richer and richer but also for new investors to stop investing because the spread is going to become to big.

And deflationary by design doesn't protect bitcoin by collapsing and it will happen alone through the reward halfing in no time.

I am so often surprised by "The AI Communities" software. Often unpleasantly surprised, often just eye-rolling.

When we first started using the OpenAI API's, the first thing I reached for was some way "to be certain that the response is properly formatted". There wasn't one. A common solution was (is?) "just run the query again, untill you can parse the JSON". Really? After decades of software engineering, we still go for the "have you tried turning it off and on again" on all levels.

Then I reached for common, popular tools: everyone's using them, they ought to be good, right? But many of these tools, from langchain's to dify to promptflow are a mess (Edit: to alter the tone: I'm honestly impressed by the breadth and depth of these tools. I'm just suprised about the stability - lack thereof, of them). Nearly all of them suffer from always-outdated-documentation. Several will break right after installing it, due to today's ecosystem updates that haven't been incorporated entirely yet. Understandably: they operate in an ecosystem that changes by the hour. But after decades of software engineering, I want stuff that's stable, predictable, documented. If that means I'm running LLM models from a year ago: fine. At least it'll work.
Sure, this constant-state-of-brokeness is fine for a PoC, a demo, or some early stage startup. But terrible for something that I want to ensure to still work in 12 months, or 4 years even without a weekly afternoon of upgrade-all-dependencies-and-hope-it-works-the-update-my-business-logic-code-to-match-the-now-deprecated-apis.

Fun fact: in that Big Bang Theory episode, they were hipped about BTC @ 5K [1], while the episode aired Nov 30 2017 and the closing price was already 10K [2]

They recorded that episode probably between March and April 2017 or end of February (?)
Yes, it's worth paying attention to these questions as they are very important. If renetion is mostly related to compliance requirements of the industry. Some data should be kept for 5 years and some for 20, so it's good if a backup solution provides long-term or unlimited retention.

Regarding the cost, I think that a backup solution is always much cheaper than the cost of data loss. So it's better to have a backup than not.

And, of course, restore and recovery checks are also important. Moreover, a backup solution should foresee different disaster scenarios. for example, disaster scenarios like those described here in the article: https://gitprotect.io/blog/github-restore-and-github-disaste...
bear sterns is fiiine
I had the same thought. This is why:

- 'I created a similar website', so it compares to https://pricewatcher.gr/en/.

- a big part of the discussion is in the context of inflation and price gouging

- pricewatcher presents its data publicly for all consumers to see and use, it is clearly intended as a tool for consumers to combat price gouging strategies

- 'pricewatcher.gr is an independent site which is not endorsed by any shop', nothing suggests this website is making money off consumers

- the 'similar website' however is offering exclusive access to data to businesses, at a price, in order for those business to undercut the competition and become more profitable

So the goals are almost opposite. One is to help consumers combat price gouging of supermarkets, the other is to help supermarkets become (even) more profitable. It is similar in the sense that it is also scraping data, but it's not strange to think being similar would mean they would have the same goal, which they don't.
Indeed, his writing often provided a unique perspective into a complex part of American history. I often ponder if he was able to truly reconcile that pain before his own story ended.

For many money is really that important, even if they are actually doing rather well in the scheme of things.

I'd rather make 1% of the money but not scam anyone during the process.
If someone is looking for a snap-less system, but will like to stay in the Debian/Ubuntu ecosystem, do give Linux Mint a look.
Have you looked at the regular expression in the linked screenshot?

How is it not intentional?
This is a common trope people like to throw around, but for all practical intents and purposes it's not actually true. Each Bitcoin is divided into 100 million Satoshis. At current market price, this means you can divide each Bitcoin up into slices 0.05 cents thin. There is no scarcity, at least not for any reasonable time frame in our lifetime. Add to that the fact that many brokers today offer fractional shares on a lot of securities already and you can probably see where I'm going with this. You will always be able to buy however small of a fraction of a Bitcoin that you want.
Yes, this is a common refrain I have heard from musicians and hobbyists lured in by the aesthetics, only to be frustrated with the actual functionality after a week or two.

Fortunately, there are other manufacturers who "get it" and make instruments, not toys.

I have not seen any reports about plain Debian running on the PineTab. Only Mobian, which is not what I am looking for.
Even forces are a model. Interestingly, this is accepted with much less skepticism, probably because we learn this at a younger age.

Interesting, what it is exactly happen in i386?
AFAIK, installing/updating unsupported OS versions via OCLP doesn't update firmware. It certainly hasn't on my MacPro6,1 running Sonoma (have 478, current is 481); the workaround is a PITA (Monterey only updates firmware if installed on the internal SSD, so I either need to buy a spare or backup / clean install / restore) and probably not worth the trouble.

Other than this, OCLP + Sonoma on the MacPro6,1 is fantastic.

Yeah, they don’t allow big batteries on carryon and nothing in checked out luggage. How are people travelling with these?
Sounds quite similar to my early-1990's experience buying software site licenses for Microsoft, Lotus, etc.

Typical prices were only mid-5-figures. Microsoft's sales org was obviously motivated and organized to sell. Even though, after confirming all details & SKU's with them, I technically had to buy it from a distributor. Vs. most of MS's competition didn't give a crap. Lotus' east and west coast offices both wanted to dump me on their opposites. (I was in Michigan.)

In hindsight, I should have quietly gone long on MS stock, and short on their competition.
Yeah, I guess for devices that can't receive OTA updates that makes sense. Though I fear that segment of the market is rapidly shrinking - televisions have ubiquitous software update capabilities now, and even washing machines are increasingly internet connected.

We didn't apply anywhere near that kind of quality control to smartphones or VR headsets. Once users are trained to install OTA updates to fix issues, most of the impetus for extreme quality control outside of the bootloader->OTA update path is gone
Did you become a trader?
Well, it is Microsoft we are talking about, with quite a track record on the topic..
Mods should update the link to your first url.
What you're talking about is already a thing. Experimental category is aviation without much of the red tape. You can fly pretty much anything that passes 50 hours of flight testing, then modify it at will just like your car.
Expect this aircraft to offered as Experimental/Amateur-Built, because they have shown no plans for certification.

They managed to get a new category created just for Luup scooters. I've seen some on social media passive-aggressively wondering what kind of sorcery was at play for that.
Sick burn I know but just to be clear this isn’t a Google thing but a W3C standard that they are implementing.
I think you are mistaking interoperability with a network with dependency with a propietary service from a specific vendor. These are different things.
About 20 years ago I was visiting SF for work and, in a moment of weakness, let someone else book me a hotel - they booked me into a rather rough hotel on Geary. When I got into a taxi at the airport the driver said "Do you really want to go there?".
Whenever I see an article with more than a few sentences that seem to be arbitrarily bolded, I know it isn't worth reading. Haven't had a failed case so far.
