I'm not so sure about all of that.

The thing is that all companies regardless of their scale would benefit from these good practices. Scrappy startups definitely have more important things to do than maintaining their infra, whether that involves setting up observability and automation or manually troubleshooting and deploying. Both involve resources and trade-offs, but one of them eventually leads to a reduction of required resources and stability/reliability improvements, while the other leads to a hole of technical debt that is difficult to get out of if you ever want to improve stability/reliability.

What I find more harmful is the prevailing notion that "complexity" must be avoided at smaller scales, and that somehow copying a binary to a single VPS is the correct way to deploy at this stage. You see this in the sibling comment from Aeolun here.

The reality is that doing all of this right is an inherently complex problem. There's no getting around that. It's true that at smaller scales some of these practices can be ignored, and determining which is a skill on its own. But what usually happens is that companies build their own hodgepodge solutions to these problems as they run into them, which accumulate over time, and they end up having to maintain their Rube Goldberg machines in perpetuity because of sunk costs. This means that they never achieve the benefits they would have had they just adopted good practices and tooling from the start.

I'm not saying that starting with k8s and such is always a good idea, especially if the company is not well established yet, but we have tools and services nowadays that handle these problems for us. Shunning cloud providers, containers, k8s, or any other technology out of an irrational fear of complexity is more harmful than beneficial.
Some applications are, sure.

The cameras themselves are useful for catching remote area | rural thieves on mine leases, rural properties, etc. They're great for spotting and counting rare and endangered species to better direct conservation efforts.
do you have examples of cameras or smartphone which do not have IR filters?
Yes; but if you showed me a machine that you believed to be doing those things, given my current model, I wouldn't agree with you that it was.
There's no way I'm aware to get inheritance early, but I think we're on the last 'rungs' I hope... anyways. I've filled out the last bit of paperwork and a w9... So, who knows?

I'm having trouble maybe..understanding what people mean by love yourself, or be your own family or support...I'm thinking of my life in terms of buckets where usually I focus like 90% or more on romantic interest... (I was married 18 years, so...it was a big shock being on my own...) ... but instead of being so caught up in finding my next ...person ... I've been trying to think in terms of filling buckets of: work, career, business, hobbies, family (kids), health / mental health / self help books, etc...

I'm not sure how to build compassion for myself, the rebound person I was with left me with huge scars, in fact that was maybe as far as day-to-day pain the most painful, because I'd never felt bonded to someone so strong..and to be cast aside and completely shunned and everything. I feel torn between i deserved it, and no I didn't because I'm human and people don't treat people like that. I took all the blame and made me feel very worthless.

Anyways, I digress.. a lot of this in BPD related stuff ...and DBT therapy i think is helping regulate my emotions better.

One thing I've been doing is learning guitar, everyday an hour per day. Music has saved my life, and given me an ability to meditate, though the better I get the less I have to think about what I'm doing the less meditative properties haha.
Excited to try this out. Will the app edit my iOS calendar, or is it isolated off?

I love that you’re treating tasks as calendar events. Tasks take time, so that’s how it should be.
A black hole only has mass, angular momentum, and charge. So you can only deal with those three... not deform and knead a physical mass of planet as in tidal heating.
I had an incident with a debt collector once(UK), they call me saying I had some pending parking tickets to pay and asked for my address, DoB, etc to confirm it was me, I refused and asked them to tell me the details they had, they refused.

This kept going on for about a year, the legal limit they can chase a debt, so at that point they gave in and share the details and as it happens, it wasn’t me. Don’t even own a car, which I mentioned multiple times.

Anyways, I’d never share my details over the phone if I’m not fairly certain who’s in the other side. This company was legit but had very suspicious tactics.

It's like saying that postgres was designed for distributed setups, just because there are large postgres installations. We all understand that clickhouse (and postgres) are great databases.
But it's strange to call them designed for distributed setups. How about insertion not through a single master? Scalable replication? And a bunch of other important features -- not just the ability to keep independent shards that can be queried in single query
The hard part about writing code, isn't writing the code.

What Are the Initial Steps for Creating a Cap Table for a Nonprofit Startup?
When building a nonprofit startup, the concept of ownership and equity isn't the same as with for-profit companies, but a clear capitalization table (cap table) can still be important for tracking stakeholder involvement, funding, and governance structures.
For those who have experience with nonprofit ventures, what are the initial steps to creating a cap table for a nonprofit startup? How do you account for donors, grants, board members, or other key contributors? Are there any specific tools or methods tailored to nonprofit startups that help manage this process?
I started learning guitar, and can play a bunch of songs.. (1 hour per day)...oddly I've been able to focus on that... everyday since April... It's very therapeutic as it makes me stop thinking so much.

If you present it as art, sure.

But the best part about art is that other people don't have to consider what you do as art.

I would find it hard to believe you are presenting it as art though, as you'll want your BMW back after you've bought whatever crap at the store.

I don't have to believe your AI generated slop is art because it doesn't actually convey any emotion.

This generation of the picture itself is art, similar to other "experience" art pieces. Its referred to as immersive art.

The internet was mostly a beautiful place in the early 00s. At the same time if you were looking for terrible things (and I mean the worst things) they were easy to find which really is no longer the case. You have to be on private channels/onion sites/freenet etc. to find those things now.
The most effective way would be use a Thermal Camera, because a normal "hidden camera" you get from eBay will consume around 5 Watts - a significant heat dissipation.

For others, probably just get an off the shelf TinySA?
Isn't "3.14" pi to an arbitrary degree of precision? Or am I misreading that.

> We know pi in the sense of "a unique real number satisfying many useful properties".

We know it a lot better than that. We have efficient programs that output the numerical value of pi for as many digits as you want.

There's a bunch of real numbers we can identify that are far harder to make use of or approximate, and don't have easy exact description of their value.

It allows you to get code into the kernel by way of sending patches. Eventually you may earn enough trust to get into some kind of power position. Surely you remember the liblzma/xz story.
Hey! We also build livedocs.com with similar use cases in mind. Please check it out. Would love your feedback!
Also a good argument for, if you run internal-network only resources, to purchase and use an actual domain for it (such as companyname.us or whatever).

Publish a zone file for the domain as authoritative master and secondary on an internet facing DNS server, but have basically no records in the zone (no useful A or CNAME or anything else).

Host the actual DNS for your internal services on your internally-accessible-only DNS server.

I like your post. There is a long YouTube video of a dev doing a long breakdown about why FP "lost" to OOP. In reality, it didn't lose...or rather, it won by using the backdoor. OOP integrated many FP features into their own languages. As a result, you can do lots of FPish coding in modern OOP languages.

No. That's not how it works. Reading code towards refactoring it is harder than writing new code. Lots of fine literature has been written about this, it's all psychology and cognition.

What you are trying to propose is that computer generated code should somehow make a programmer feel better about one self because they are given the opportunity to improve something that no one knows where is coming from and without a context.

I think you are forgetting that computers can not generate context aware systems or programs. Look at the list by the author - useless in a different context than the one the author lives in. It does not improve anything, it simply adds more things someone else potentially has to worry about. Furthermore it adds to the same cognitive load than any other code - one needs to read it before one can change it, and changing it is really the first step to fully understanding it.

You are not fixing anything old with AI generated code. Ask yourself also, where is the upstream you are trying "to fix".
“If science and academia become ideological endeavours,” he says, “it’s going to be hard for them to survive.””

The irony of this closing sentence being about 5 paragraphs below a paragraph praising Harris and bashing Trump was noticed by, apparently, nobody at Nature.

To be clear, I’m not a fan of Trump and I’ve never voted for him, but surely Nature should just stay out of explicit endorsements and bashing of one or the other political side if they are at all concerned about science becoming an ‘ideological endeavour’. It’s borderline insane to me that they would engage in blatant partisanship right after extolling the value of science at least APPEARING to be politically neutral.
Yeah, this is what I don't get. Basically, the rest of the world is getting a bunch of free labor here, and also keeping these Russians busy doing this free labor that probably doesn't directly benefit Russia's war machine, rather than having them go get a job in the defense sector (or spend more time at work there).

Edit: upon further reading, it seems that the free labor isn't being completely refused, but rather these peoples' maintainership status has been revoked, apparently because lawyers said it was necessary due to sanctions. So they can still contribute, but now they have to submit their patches through a maintainer just like any other regular contributor. And also apparently, all the people involved aren't just random nerds who happen to live in Russia, but rather are directly employed at Russian companies on the sanction list. So yeah, it kinda sucks, and probably feels like a slap in the face to them, but this is one of the harsh realities of international politics. At least it's not like back in the Soviet days when there was essentially zero contact between scientists and engineers on both sides and they couldn't collaborate on projects like this at all.

Open source communities are similar to communism in that they are practices of an ideal state (Utopia; Republic). It takes a philosopher king to rule behind the good. But it is hard to have a ruler with the qualities of a philosopher king.

There is a term for open source software: BDFL (benevolent dictator for life). At Wikepedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benevolent_dictator_for_life ), Linus is included. But the virtue of being benevolent is too difficult to ensure and maintain.
Me too. I search through both URL bar and search bar, and sometimes I use the search bar as a scratchpad of sorts – very convenient IMO.

You joke, but I worry about this if Norway implements an age limit based on geographic location - it either gets kids onto the shittiest possible free VPN which MITMs everything, or gets them onto imageboards/apps with even fewer facilities for handling abuse than FB and Snapchat have

E: > Also wouldn't HN count as social media too, as we are interacting here?

Family minister Toppe was immediately asked afterwards if the age limit would cover newspapers with comment sections, and she responded that it would - so parents would have to consent to you sharing personal info with the newspaper, which seems like a long way to say "your parents decide whether you get to read the news"

I love that idea, but it would never work in practice. Some thoughts:

* Funding for any experiment would have to include 100% extra because presumably every experiment done would also have to duplicate another, randomly chosen experiment. The situation would be become something akin to lawyers being required to do pro bono work. It would mean that the randomly chosen experiment to be duplicated would require a different set of skills than the primary experiment.

* Assuming the above, there would be an extremely high impedance in communications between any two of these experiments because no one could really describe their experiment in a way that would allow independence recreation of it.

* Smaller institutions would struggle to re-create experiments from better funded institutions.

* Getting the second experiment funded would always be difficult because you probably wouldn’t be able to go to the same sources.
Its a bit sad, we have one of the Swedish, actual physical buildings for AWS in my town. But of course the traffic does not exit here, but is instead aggregated between the different sites spread around cities regionally. So no sub-ms latencies for me towards that center. I think the traffic basically went a couple hundred kms before turning back here.
That's a good point and I agree with you. However, would you agree that in a few years we will need far less developers than we need right now?
I didn’t get involved with any of this stuff until mid-2013, but at the very least by then, it was well understood that Servo couldn’t reach its potential without Rust.
If that happens, prices may have to go up, that mathematical. Currently lots of people bought digital stuff they don’t need anymore. If they resell, people buying it don’t need to buy it from somewhere else.

I know it’s not really a zero sum game, but it’s obvious it would have a significant impact.

And I’m not even talking about media, which I’m sure some platform would start mass renting/selling in a fully automated fashion (upload all your licenses, watch whatever you want anytime because there will always be somewhere a license which is unused and a copy of the movie which is not actively watched at this moment). Basically they would only sell as many copies as the peak number of simultaneous watchers…

That would be amazing actually.
This. I suppose they use a list of TLDs to check if something looks like a domain, and .internal is not on the list and needs to be hardcoded.

I don't but it's easy to test, just pick up a TV remote and press a button while pointing it towards the camera. It should look like a flashing white LED.

I should also mention that both IR illuminators and TV remotes are usually either 850nm or 940nm, I have not looked into that aspect of it. I imagine that it's possible that your camera can detect one but not the other...
Gravitational waves have a similar effect of sapping the kinetic energy of orbiting black holes. Instead of heating the black holes, the energy is emitted as gravitational radiation. Having said that, now that we have actual observations of the gravitational radiation emmited from merging black holes, we can be pretty confident in our understanding of the magnitude of this energy loss. And that understanding is that it does not become significant until well into the last parsec.

> As to sending me a revert patch - please use whatever mush you call brains. I'm Finnish. Did you think I'd be supporting Russian aggression? Apparently it's not just lack of real news, it's lack of history knowledge too.

The concerning part to me is that kernel development will not only be based on technical discussion anymore (or maybe it never was): why would a revert patch or not has anything to do with nationalities or personal's political and hisotrical view. Bias towards either side to accept/reject technical contributions for such large project is only going to be harmful for the project regardless of open-source or not.

It sounds like you might benefit from some introspection and mindfulness. Some possible questions to ask yourself (introspection):

1. What are you needing to accomplish before [your time runs out]?

2. What can I do right now, today, that gets me one step closer to accomplish that goal?

In regards to mindfulness, it appears you are living in the future, which hasn't happened yet. Focus on the present moment, because this is all you will ever experience. Which has reminded me of a quote I like:

“Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. But today is a gift, and that is why it’s called the present.”

A whole lot of words to say "we don't troubleshoot and just live with bugs, #yolo".
I presume your town is too small for it since you called it a town, but AWS also does these things called "wavelength zones" which are as close as possible to certain cellular networks (designed to ride th 5G M2M hype train - self-driving vehicles, etc). Not sure if they do something similar for fixed networks.

Of course, it doesn't actually matter since friends don't let friends use AWS.

OP, cool project. I have questions though:

How does the device detect very short bursts? After looking up the data sheet of the RF detector I believe you would need additional circuitry to not risk that very short bursts slip through the sampling of the ESP A/D input.

Second, the supply voltage of the detector seems to be 3.0 V to 5.5 V, https://www.analog.com/en/products/ad8317.html
I personally don't like it when they use AI to mimic actual human actors.

To me it always just feels like when the AI cut-and-pastes an author's work and then says it "generated" it. (And that's before you get into issues of the creator's work being harvested so the value can go instead to technologists....)
