You're off by one letter: the codec is h264/h265. x264 and x265 are the CPU encoding softwares for the codec.
You can't do it with an uncle and that does not make it hard. It is in fact incredibly easy.
You have it backwards. One company holding the keys hurts personal choice for everyone.

And again you conflate software freedom with personal freedom. The needs of any particular piece of software are outlined in its license. My personal choice is to prefer hardware that works fine without non-free software, because I need a different level of trust than you.

If you make your hydro-carbons with captured carbon, the process is slightly carbon-negative. ~10% of hydrocarbons are not burned, they're turned into plastic or lubricants etc. So for every 10 carbons you take from the air, only 9 are released back.

Argentina was on pace with the US at the beginning of the 20th century [1]. Read to the bottom of that article where it mentions populism and inflation, which tend to go hand-in-hand. When governments don’t control inflation (which are unpopular policies during elections), inflation escalates. The US has targeted 2% inflation since Volcker’s unpopular interest rate policies in the 1970’s [2].

DevOps has that meaning to you, maybe.

I would implore some reading into the origin.

Cliff notes version, things that happened around the same time:

* Dev+Ops days is made by Patrick Dubois, the intent was for Sysadmins to use Agile ("Agile Systems Administrator" was the desired job title), he used "dev"+"ops" to signify a unification in working methodology, not as a team

* 10+ deploys a day from Flickr; where the authors are in a single unified team of sysadmins and developers.

Like Agile, people always claim you're "doing it wrong", which I find ironic given that the portmanteau was created to bring Agile to systems administration itself. However, devops was confused right out of the gate.

Your definition is the 10+ deploys a day talk.

I actually wrote a blog post about this:

At the datacenter scale, bandwidth is expensive, yes.
The largest cities have the most crime, because they have the most people. And most large cities have Democratic mayors.

You could break it down per capita instead, which shows that urban area have the highest violent crime rates, and rural areas have the highest property crime rates.

I haven’t been able to find a comparison of cities with Democratic mayors vs cities with Republican mayors.

They are seen as unfortunate cost centers. They don't add new features that are sold to clients. They don't even fix the bugs the clients care about. Making the others more efficient or preventing catastrophe is invisible work.
Ok, what is this? I see an article with its content blurred and a sign up wall on top.
This is a great news for JPEG XL. Web standards need two independent implementations of every feature – this proves that the spec is actually possible to implement, and makes it possible to verify that the implementations are interoperable.
It makes uses in the wild much less likely to depend on bugs in a particular implementation, which makes it possible to upgrade or replace implementations without creating bug-compatibility problems.
It’s a predictable problem. Make up a new and fashionable term and it will bite you in the end. See: euphemism treadmill. It has everything to do with the specifics of ‘site’, ‘reliability’, ‘engineer’ and all the technical and social stuff Rachel talks about but on another level it is about the style of discourse, see ‘non’, ‘fungible’, ‘token’.

> If Congress wants a specific practice banned, then they can make a law to do so, rather than allowing unelected career bureaucrats to interpret the law as they see fit.

As opposed to unelected judges who, unlike the bureaucrats, have lifetime appointments, almost no political oversight, and are very difficult to remove.

The heads of federal agencies are appointed by the President and must be confirmed by the Senate and serve limited terms.

Seems the content is blurred for a few seconds (or until scrolling over it?).

I get the joke and think it's funny, but also found that it might miss the mark by confusing people. Maybe they should have done it for the first paragraph only.

Edit: The timing seems to depend on their page/CDN load speed.

TBH it seemed very ... "idealistic" in a way, "racist" would be another word, but I'd like to avoid the word's moral connotations. Just the idea that the descendants of this particular Eve are physically strong and then descendants of this Eve are intellectuals. It kinda seemed like a fairy tale instead of an actual development, which would realistically end up way more "messy".

You need to also look into why DevOps became a thing. Because devs were sick of the BS dealing with Ops teams (want a server, that will take 6 months to provision). So devs decided they could do it themselves (with better tools).
If you have a house you’ll most of the time are required by the bank (because mortgage) to have what’s called an “opstalverzekering” which is what insures damages to the house.
These have a component that insures against flood damage but there are probably some limits to it.

But yes, flood damage is typically insured. Premium will vary ofc if your house is inside or outside a protected area.
I grew up with Swedish crosswords, where the clues are written into the "non-letter" cells (the ones that are shaded in an American crossword). There's no separate clue section, it's just all part of the grid. They almost always have some illustration as well, they look really delightful compared to American crosswords, though from a "puzzle" angle they're not always as fun.
This is what I was getting at. The 2 to 3 migration and steam rolling over any raised concerns on GitHub while concurrently abandoning Vuex and Vue CLI for alternatives definitely does not even begin to meet minimal DX commitments.
They may lose privileges and good time credits, and it may impact their parole. They do not lose rights as one may happen when one is convicted of a crime.
I’m not sure this holds as true if it’s the same team creating both implementations.
this is one of my frustrations as a brit, i much prefer the US format, but find that US puzzles contain so many 'Americanisms' that they're much harder than they might otherwise be.

Could you add more to your question? Where did you already do research? What providers are you considering? How much bandwidth is “free” with the tier of VPS you’re paying for? Etc

This is a question that sales reps spend lots of work hours trying to help clients work out.
In the North East of England, theres a point where these houses aren't even worthwhile purchasing to rennovate. Houses can be purchases easily for £60k but require at least that to modernize. But while you've done well to purchase a house for £120k, it doesn't reflect in the local market.

The solution would be to knock the house down and build a modern one on the reclaimed land. But you've just bought a mid-terrace, so that's out of the question.
> In one instance, a VIP customer who flagged the issue with a video of the game being played 50 times without a win was locked out of their account and referred to gambling addiction services.

Trying to be as fair as possible: the fact that this customer is a VIP may be enough reason for sending them to a gambling addiction service. But having said that, I wish there were more resources for cases like these when you know you're in the right and yet the company refuses to listen.

At least in Europe the GDPR offers some recourse.
I've heard even some programmers like 0-based indexing. Crazy!
Fair enough, but my point is you just can’t prove either way and only add noise to the conversation. I’d like to hear from someone at say, apple or google, if the mics could be used or have been used before there were led indicators, for instance. But I guess that’s not going to happen.
Google Translate says:

- they don't actually know what triggered the switch into manual mode

"RWS - Programs, Projects and Maintenance (hereinafter: PPO) has conducted research done, and had done, to the technical cause for the switch to manual mode. PPO has not yet been able to determine the cause. The reason for this is that the logging circuits in the system approximately 1 x per second registers. Switchings can take place in approximately 200 ms according to PPO. This makes it impossible to determine which circuits led to the failure."

- their SCADA in general seems poorly maintained:

"According to the maintenance contractor, there are approximately 60 faults active in SCADA in normal operation"

"In the past, a software issue was found in the vibration measurement system of the pumping station pumps. This caused a technical safety function to be disabled."

"During work on the installation of pump 7 in the pumping station, various software errors were found by the maintenance contractor."

- and operation degenerated into treating it as arcane, poorly understood black box:

"In the event of failure of regular operation, the sluice and pumping station complex can be operated from Schellingwoude using the emergency panel. It is important that this system is used in an emergency. During the incident, this was not used, because operators did not trust the functioning of the panel and were not well-acquainted with the operation of the panel."

- and of course the UX (or Operator Experience? OX?) is poor too:

"In SCADA, the sluice gates are light grey instead of dark grey when the sluice complex is switched to manual operation. However, the light grey sluice gates also occur in various phases of regular operations."

Obvious caveats regarding correctness of Google Translate apply; I do not speak Dutch. Most of this is from page 14 (or page 11 of the "INTERGO" sub-embedded report). And I'm focusing on the negative here — Amsterdam didn't flood, so there was (even if just barely) enough "buffer" in their processes to prevent the worst.
> You could break it down per capita instead,

The source provided does break it down per capita, and when done so, the 10 most violent cities in the US, measured per capita, are either democrat (9) or independent (1) controlled.
Agree. And of course it's always something "surface level and uncontroversial", anything else gets you downvoted. Most subreddits (with a few exceptions) are huge echo-chambers.
Tokyo also has many, many urban incinerators.
You, my dear Internet friend, are confidently expressing your lack of experience. No one who has played multiplayer LAN games, or low latency Internet games, could or would ever say that streaming gaming, such as the dead stadia, or moonlight, whatever, are comparable to the alternative, Nah, they couldn't.
It should be noted that all known independent JPEG XL decoders (especially my J40 [1] and jxl-oxide) were primarily written by a single individual for each library. So the request is that some library, either the future version of jxl-oxide or Rust rewrite of libjxl or something else, should be written in a provably memory-safe manner, actively maintained by JPEG XL developers, and successfully reproducing the original libjxl's decoding performance. I think it is indeed a fair deal to both Mozilla and JPEG XL developers.

[1] The main blocker for J40 was that I don't really want to keep it less safe than I hope to achieve, but I also want to keep it in C for practical reasons. This and my daily job prevented any significant improvements so far.

Prices are also high in Scotland due to sparse population, the standing charge is higher.

A lot of the renewables up in Scotland also give incentives to the local population as a sweetener for the planning application, typically £5000 per annum per megawatt of installed capacity. This isn't really reflected in what people pay for energy, but it is a benefit of the energy transition for people living nearby.

Electrician generally requires a number of years working under supervision in order to get your apprenticeship, journeyman and then master status. A not so insignificant part of that supervised work is just digging trenches or other hard physical labor and not actually running circuits or wiring things and you're not really allowed to do solo work until you're a master electrician so starting your own company takes a while at relatively low pay, long hours and hard labor. It's tough to transition to later in life.
Ok, the EventTarget is a very cute trick and I haven't thought much about implementing signals this way.
However, all "serious" signal libraries have at least computed (higher order signals), and a way to sample a value, meaning get the value from a signal without triggering its effects, and no you can't just call foo.value because this won't work with computed signals, and a way to batch multiple write calls to multiple signals, which is often implemented by swapping the effects in and out of the update phase of the signal.
Republican state government is not preventing Democrat cities from enforcing the law in red states. My point is that criminals are too coddled, not that they are not coddled enough. Preventing democrat cities from coddling criminals even further does not somehow make them less coddled. The Democrat cities coddle criminals as much as they legally can.
"American figure skater, last name Cohen" would have worked as the clue.
tbh it still is kind of a feature given that we (collectively) also don't really know how to ventilate old houses and many many who have tried to tackle the insulation problem live with terrible mould problems
I think it would make more sense to support the existing implementation than to start yet another one.

As for why jxl-oxide can't be used yet — it just isn't mature enough yet. They're still finding unimplemented or incompatible features, and have some unoptimized code.

JPEG XL is big and complex – it is designed to have every feature of every competing codec (from vector graphics to video), and beat them all on compression in every case, so it's a half a dozen of different codecs in a trench coat.
> Hopefully they'll start building onshore too and closing more of these ugly and polluting biomass plants

What's the issue with these? Biomass plants take the energy from biologically degradable farm and food waste that would otherwise decompose and degrade, releasing its energy as methane and other byproducts into the atmosphere, on either farm fields (where it contributes to overfertilization of fields and water bodies by runoff) or on dung piles/compost heaps.

Modern farming, particularly livestock farming, produces an awful lot of such waste that needs to be taken care of, and small but livestock-intensive countries such as Denmark or the Netherlands have to ship the biowaste across the EU because by EU regulations and practicality they cannot dispose of it domestically.

Biomass reactors make the process a whole lot easier. They take the biowaste, extract all energy they can by having bacteria and fungi break it down, burn the gas for electricity and district/local heating, and the solid remainder can then be landfilled safely.
Honest question, what would you call a role that:

* Is on call

* Manages internal software (grafana, Prometheus, salt stack, etc)

* is the first line of defense for issues in the field, works with support and the engineering team to handle problems

* Manages a distributed fleet of servers (uses off the self and/or custom code to do so)

* Builds internal tools/automations to improve the reliability of our platform and/or address problems automatically

* Pushes us to make software/OS updates

I ask because that’s what I’d love to hire. Someone who owns the production environment and has the time/space to focus on improving/maintaining it.

“Ops” or “Production engineer” is what I’ve referred to it as in the past but this seems like a good place to ask what others would call it.
Also we still had gas and oil from the north sea. Since the production peaked, energy is expensive, thus everything is.

On mobile it remains blurred even if you scroll, unfortunately.
Pinia have a far better DX than Vuex though. Vuex had a lot of boilerplate and “stringly-typed” actions. Of course the migration in itself have a cost.

Vite is so great it is getting adopted by other frameworks. (It is not tightly coupled to Vue)
That tends to happen when your IT team is a cost center, they had no resources on standby.

Now you pay AWS anywhere from 5-11x more for an instance, but you still have an ops team managing it (by some name).

If you had given even 20% of that investment to the sysadmins you would have had an equivalent system.

AWS just weaponised this short-sighted thinking that was killing ops teams.
