I think the evolution of this person's personal server as outlined in the readme is very insightful.

Goes from literally no configuration management (just SSH into the box to install your stuff) to Ansible and then to Docker and k8s. Quite the Journey.

I think a lot of people here can relate, I certainly can.
An excellent observation, in extreme cases the quest can completely superceed the goal. The movie "Memento" comes to mind.
Power consumption may be the lead motive here, as RISC-V cores are typically significantly more power efficient. This allows them to tap into markets they otherwise could not. The next gen will likely be RISC-V only though.

I drove a Toyota Prius into some really ridiculous terrain. It was all I had and I really wanted to see some places that weren’t accessible by paved roads.

Here’s what I Learned about driving a 2WD car into questionable situations:

- driving up particularly steeps roads isn’t going to happen because the gearing doesn’t go low enough on the car, and the car won’t have enough power to struggle up the steep grade

- the biggest challenge on any road is ground clearance, so it’s hard to drive over big rocks, rises/drips in elevation, and generally uneven surfaces

- good luck driving through significant mud and water

So if you’re driving along a fire road when it isn’t raining, as long is it’s not too steep, raining, and the rocks aren’t too big, and car with decent tires can probably do it, especially a Subaru.
The "update" badge is a minor, ignorable inconvenience. It's nothing in comparison to the in-your-face modal that blocks your entire desktop.

There are various alternative file manager apps for macOS the same way there are for Windows. They don't replace Finder the same way Total Commander on Windows doesn't replace explorer.exe. Or what do you mean?

Ads in Windows sometimes come as notifications. Sometimes they appear as banners in the explorer. Sometimes, after you install a system update, they block your access to the desktop with a dark pattern to get you to subscribe to Office 360 or something.

Oh and by the way: Microsoft is also very insistent that you use a Microsoft account to log into your OS. Like, "have to use a secret key combo to open a command prompt during OOBE and run a secret command to bypass it" insistent. Apple doesn't do that. Yes you can log into an Apple account if you want to, but you can use macOS without one perfectly fine if you don't need their online services.

To be clear, I'm not saying that macOS is an ideal OS. It clearly isn't one and it clearly is going downhill. But compared to Windows 10 and 11, it could as well be ideal.
Apple Podcast app works well for me
It's heavy weight and has an industrial vibe, and does way more than any single user could want. Consumes 300M or so just to run.

I don't care. Transaction volumes to the auth are comparatively low and computers are cheap so keycloak is a good choice.
Ah, there's a new UI now. The last time I tested this, the entire look & feel was different and everything was in slow motion.

It's still sluggish compared to a desktop app from the 1990s, but it's much faster than just a couple of years ago.

Updating your landing page tagline barely feels like marketing, but it can have surprising effect.

OnlineOrNot's used to be "Know your site is down before your customers do", and I'd get feature requests that seemed absolutely insane to me.

It wasn't until I changed it to "Uptime monitoring for software teams (even teams of one)" that the feature requests started (on average) to make sense. It turns out I was building for an ideal customer profile without even realising it.
Japan was in talks with the soviets for a couple of months, thinking that they were somewhat neutral and intermediating with the USA a negotiated peace. On the 9th they learned the hard way that it was a ploy while they massed troops, and their situation was now a full invasion of the USA with nukes and the Soviets, with zero allies or even neutrals to lean on

The funny thing is, I think (nearly) all cars, with minor changes to the ABS unit, could have the hardware necessary for brake based torque vectoring within the ABS unit.

But, due to the ABS unit software being contracted out to a different company, it only is used for ABS and cannot act to make the car have a virtual diff lock, unless the car manufacturer wants to pay Bosch the extra $$$ for different software.

* projects that add structure to data, but remain flexible to manual overrides are the most successful + fit logistics.

* full automation is almost never possible. You can automate PIECES of the puzzle, but focus on building software for humans.

We ship a large quantity of RP2040’s in real products, and agreed that the RP2350 looks great too!

Part of the reason we went with RP2040 was the design philosophy, but a lot of it was just easy availability coming out of the chip crunch.
I think because it works pretty close to 100 percent of the time with only the most basic maintenance and care (like making sure you don't run out of disk space and keeping up with security updates). You can go amazingly far with this, and adding read only replicas gets you a lot further with little extra effort.
This will filter out 90% of candidates, but yes.
Problem though is you need another turtle layer to evaluate the git commits. They might have been just changing CSS.
> Germany never (seriously) wanted a negotiated peace

Hitler knew that he'd be hung when the war was over. He knew what happened to Mussolini. He was never going to allow a negotiated peace.

The idea behind the officers' plot to kill him was that then Germany could sue for peace. Failing to kill Hitler meant the war was going to continue to the bitter end.

I've been working for a software development agency in the past and one of my clients back then was (a different) mid-sized logistics company :)

For us (including the client) the following approach worked great and I'd recommend to give it a try

* hire an agency (or freelancers) to work on (requirements, architecture, design, implementation) your special software - make sure the code is yours legally and you can bring it to another software shop or internal whenever you want
* you get bootstrapping important decisions done by someone with experience. because hiring the first employee for that task is hard and risky
* you can transition to in house from there, if you're happy with the solution or decide to stay at that agency longer - you're very flexible
* Having good and maintained software as a base, start hiring. Build your team and gradually take over development. You don't have to go in-house fully, just so much that it makes sense.

Back then we bootstrapped custom software for that logistics company and gradually migrated it over to their team - even helped them hiring a team in the first place. Over time we lost them as a client (because they happily worked on their software now) but got many more clients since they recommended us highly. So it's a win-win situation.

Of course it will have at least some environmental impact if the water stops being directed in to plastic bottles and instead is left flow along on the land. 3 gallons a second is still a pretty significant flow of water - at least enough to power a small stream or creek. Nothing in the broader scheme of things of course, but you can't say there's zero environmental impact "whatsoever".

Another factor in the surrender was the Japanese had intelligence that a third bomb was to be dropped on Tokyo. (That intelligence later turned out to be false.)

One bomb could have been all that America had. Two bombs meant more were coming.

We have records of Japanese high rank military wanting to keep fighting after the dropping of the second bomb. They figured out the USA might have a couple more nukes, so Japan should endure them four and keep fighting.

As said in other threads, it was the nukes and the soviets invading what finally forced the surrender.
You're not considering the core count difference. Amd has 128cores 256 threads at 2.2ghz at 360w tdp while Intel has 144c/144t, @ 2.2ghz @ 330w Tdp. Cloud providers care about density and power usage.
More cores per server = less power = more servers per rack = more capacity = more opportunities for sales of products.

I think I may be the kind of person we're talking about here. I wouldn't ever let a new prospect client talk to previous clients. They'd all immediately compare rates and try to low ball me. Conversely, I'd never take on a client "cold". Too many a-holes, crazy people and fraudsters out there. I only work for people I have a long history with, or on occasion the next transitive hop out on the network from those people. I would suggest that the counterparty do the same: reach out into their network and find someone where they can get a strong recommendation based on years of collaboration. If you can't achieve that, don't proceed with the project.

> Throughout this analysis, I couldn't help but wonder why anyone would aspire to become a mainstream music star—to achieve professional success that bears a near-immediate expiration date.

I think this quote demonstrates that the author hasn't really understood what they're writing about. Many musicians (especially those that have only one hit, or even no hits at all) simply make music because it's what they love to do. If enough people are interested in them for them to be able to make a living out of it, that's enough "professional success" for them. That's the reason why many bands stay together (or artists stay active) for decades after they had a top 40 hit. If they were just chasing stardom, they would have probably given up after a few years. For example, this band I went to see a few weeks ago in Cologne: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INiKwU2JPF0 (the concert recording is not mine) - they were pretty big stars in the nineties with two hit albums (and a James Bond title track), then had two less successful ones, had a fallout with their record company, went on hiatus, then reformed in 2012 (with the original lineup!) and since then had three more albums (recorded in their own studio, published by their own record label) which were critically pretty well received, with a fourth one apparently on the way. Most people probably don't even know they're still around (or rather, around again), but as long as their loyal fans keep listening to their music and going to their concerts, they're happy...
I'd argue a quest can have the same pitfalls of a goal. That is you see it's so far off and do nothing about it on a continuous basis.

Process VS goal always depends on the person.

If someone has a goal, and everything around them is distracting them from reaching the finish line, the a quest would be irritating.

Opposite is true too, a goal might have been the goal to start, but life changed and now they're chasing something that doesn't personally matter any more.

I like how the name quest emphasizes the process, not the initially desired outcome. When you go on a quest you gain experience and have encounters that might even change your initially desired outcome. Instead of trying to reach an outcome you enjoy an adventure and change the human you are.

A quest is a journey where the final destination is not clear in the beginning. But if you are successful, you will be a better version of yourself on the other side of the journey.

> Apple is America's semiconductor problem

It isn't Apple who is the problem here, it is Intel who refused to manufacture ARM chips for Apple. So Apple didn't have much choice as there aren't much fabs around to choose from. Now Intel, sore looser, is competing for CHIPS money against TSMC/Apple (and Intel will definitely get and waste a lot of those CHIPS money thus making the problem even worse). The article, which looks like a hit-piece, is written by a think-tank funded by Omidyar who is pushing for CHIPS and seems to be connected with Intel a bit here and a bit there.

Not that I am too familiar with the matter, but maybe the cores are not "real" independent cores, but share so much of the surrounding die that you have to make the choice. So it is not a quadcore where you can use only two, but a dualcore with an alternative architecture-part.

In a different thread someone said that the part implementing the opcodes are really small, so doing both isn't that much of a tradeoff.

Having each tab limited to some viewport is so unnecessarily limiting.
