For newborns I don’t think you need a manual. The baby sucks on moms tit, sleeps, and cries for a year. No blood, fever, or discoloration? Don’t worry about it too much otherwise see the doctor. Do your vaccinations and check-ups.

Once they start to wake up to the world it becomes more complicated. People have all sorts of ideas about how to best raise a child. Listen to your heart. The right way is the way that’s right for you. For example, most people and so-called experts told us to “sleep train” our child, making them sleep in a separate room or bed on a strict schedule. We didn’t. Our child sleeps with us in our bed (he’s 4 now, still sleeping with us). It works for us. Do what works for you.

Because they are using more than just a 2d photo, these things are taking almost microscopic details in. I just pay the devil and ask for the personal treatment and skip these things. These are not potato quality and the government isn’t as backward at tech as you think.

Skip all of these types of security theater as it’s possible. While I did not want to see the new regime change in Washington because of the high chance of economic and challenges to democracy, one of the things they might cut back on is stuff like this; a Harris admin certainly was not going to be.

As a manager/developer, I do sometimes see this attitude in some devs. I try very hard to help them find a different job where they are not working for me.
I'm wondering whether a third-party PDS implementation should support other protocols as well. Would a combined git/PDS repo make any sense at all? (That is, it's a PDS, but it also implements enough of git to do read-only access via git commands.)

What other protocols would make sense?

> one of the most infamous Unicode control characters — the right-to-left override

You are linking to an RLM not an RLO. Those are different characters. RLO is generally not needed and more special purpose. RLM causes much less problems than RLO.

Really though, i feel like the newer "first strong isolate" character is much better designed and easier to understand then most of the other rtl characters.
Probably done with 3 separate litho/etch layers, where they etch and process in groups of 110 or so.

Each of those layers can have a cell, so if you have a tlc device at a 100nm pitch, you have a density of 321*3/(1e-4)^2 bits/mm, or about 1e11bits/mm2.

Fun reference: atomic density is 1atom/.5nm, so 1/5e-7^2, or 4e12/mm2 ish.

Not too far away.
Yeah I mostly agree. I'd even add that even K8 YAML's are not trivial to maintain, especially if you need to have them be produced by a templating engine.

Specifically what it looks like they are pursuing is an SoC built around an FPGA that is optimised for runtime reconfiguration speed and presumably with an ISA extension to request and then later release configurations.
I agree with you. I.m.o. consumer preference is the root cause of the issue.

The 2008 bailout had some strings attached to modernize. I believe the Chevrolet Spark was one of these strings: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_Spark#Third_generati.... It was eventually discontinued.
Can confirm. I've used ECS with Fargate successfully at multiple companies. Some eventually outgrew it. Some failed first. Some continue to use ECS happily.

Regardless of the outcome, it always felt more important to keep things simple and focus on product and business needs.
One slept on filesystem cli tool on linux is `gio`. So it comes with glib2. But today glib2 is a dependency of vte, polkit, pipewire, ffmpeg, the entire gtk ecosystem,... you get the point. So you can basically depend on it being there on most linux installs, especially desktop.

Checkout the man page: https://www.mankier.com/1/gio

highlights:

- showing progress in `cp` equivalent

- Easy cli interface to freedesktop trash (!)

- tree command

- filesystem changes monitor (inotify wrapper)

Can’t you just make the hosting site features only be for real purposes?

Like a link shortener which only forwards to a domain that matches the subdomain? Or only for watching videos and collecting metrics etc.
Any kind of git-ops style deployment was out.

ECS merges “AWS config” and “app/deployment config together” so it was difficult to separate “what should go in TF, and what is a runtime app configuration. In comparison this is basically trivial ootb with K8s.

I personally found a lot of the moving parts and names needlessly confusing. Tasks e.g. were not your equivalent to “Deployment”.

Want to just deploy something like Prometheus Agent? Well, too bad, the networking doesn’t work the same, so here’s some overly complicated guide where you have to deploy some extra stuff which will no doubt not work right the first dozen times you try. Admittedly, Prom can be a right pain to manage, but the fact that ECS makes you do _extra_ work on top of an already fiddly piece of software left a bad taste in my mouth.

I think ECS get a lot of airtime because of Fargate, but you can use Fargate on K8s these days, or, if you can afford the small increase in initial setup complexity, you can just have Fargates less-expensive, less-restrictive, better sibling: Karpenter on Spot instances.
The limiting factor is not compute power, but the time and understanding of a random dev somewhere.

Time also is not well understood by most programmers. Most just seem to convert it to epoch and pretend that it is continuous.

From "Universal AI RISC-V processor does it all — CPU, GPU, DSP, FPGA" (2024) https://www.eenewseurope.com/en/universal-ai-risc-v-processo... :

> For over half a century, general-purpose processors have been built on the Tomasulo algorithm, developed by IBM engineer Robert Tomasulo in 1967. It’s a $500B industry built on specialised CPU, GPU and other chips for different computing tasks. Hardware startup Ubitium has shattered this paradigm with a breakthrough universal RISC-V processor that handles all computing workloads on a single, efficient chip — unlocking simpler, smarter, and more cost-effective devices across industries — while revolutionizing a 57-year-old industry standard.

I used to work for a large museum a few years ago (2020-2021ish ish) and we looked into this quite a bit and came to the same conclusion as you... none of the methods were very easy or foolproof. Sounds like you've already done some research, but the keywords that were helpful for us were "indoor blue dot positioning" and "indoor SLAM (simultaneous location & mapping)".

The UX was also an issue. I don't think many normal users really like having to install yet another buggy app just to wayfind around a venue they might visit only once a year or once in their life. And making it work without a proprietary app (i.e. in Google Maps or Apple Maps) was much harder. In our visitor surveys, there was pretty much universal disdain for this sort of imposed technological solution; nobody really wanted it. And that's assuming they could even successfully use the app; a lot of the solutions (light, ultrasound, Bluetooth, etc.) require users to manipulate their device in a way that they don't typically associate with location. Unlike GPS where they just wait a few seconds for the circle to shrink, the proprietary apps depended on some sensor not really meant for wayfinding (the camera or mic or bluetooth stack), and all of those things vary a lot between devices (especially Androids). It seemed like it'd be absolute nightmare to maintain and debug across real-world devices.

In our case it was a self-imposed problem... we used to have paper maps, but management became scared of Covid particles and banned those and demanded that we come up with a digital solution instead. We pushed back hard, but lost, and were forced to brainstorm a digital solution instead.

So we did our research and presented our findings, but ultimately we just gave up on the whole project. It wasn't worth the expense and complexity, given that the field was still so immature and probably whatever we adopted would be obsolete and unsupported within a few years. There were a lot of vendors hawking their expensive proprietary solutions of dubious effectiveness, and we couldn't be assured that any of them would still be in business in a few years.

In its place we put up a bunch of signs with different QR codes. Much simpler and cheaper.
The new model is almost certainly a cheaper version of the older model, where they tried to maintain quality.

Comet Interceptor was designed just for this.

The Comet Interceptor is a robotic spacecraft mission led by the European Space Agency (ESA) planned for launch in 2029. The spacecraft will be "parked" at the Sun-Earth L2 point and wait for up to three years for a long-period comet to fly by at a reachable trajectory and speed.

I think the Boston Marathon bombing really is damaging to the case that the reaction was justified.

A lot is being made in this thread of a public art piece. Meanwhile, the real attack that's been cited was executed by leaving a nondescript backpack on the ground.

The other commenter raises a good point that the case being made boils down to being intentionally vague. "Random device." "Cylinders." And that really does fall apart when you describe it as "an LED sign with batteries."

It's reasonable for the bomb squad to investigate. But the likelihood that this was a threat is being grossly exaggerated.
Some companies have board governance rules that mandate a majority of the board seats be of "outside and independent" individuals, but of course this can easily be gamed and, of course, these rules themselves can be put to a vote during shareholder meetings.

Still, it's always worth considering these structures before one invests--especially in med-to-large-cap public companies.

Alternatively, in private small-cap and venture-boards, the seats are nearly always filled by founders and lead investors and I would argue that's a "good thing".
This is a super cool idea, and it’s something that sounds fun to play with/try out.

Therefore, I eagerly await the inevitable influx of:

- “you’re not FAANG enough to justify it”,

-“seems overly complicated my Python-on-Ubuntu-is-good-enough and who needs more”

There is no way it's cost effective to produce food in Denmark. If people were rational about this Denmark would be 0-5% farmland. But racism/nationalism and irrational fears and entrenched political power exists so these sane changes only happen slowly. This is a country whose largest imports are (fish, animal feed, wine and cheese) and mostly from other European countries. If they were really worried about min-maxing they would be trading with other countries. They seem to be more preoccupied with keeping cash inside Europe and confusing old world status symbols with wealth.

I've told the CTO that he needs to push the CEO for some specific things I've needed, that he needs to be more assertive with certain issues, that he shouldn't talk to the teams I'm running because he confuses them, and many other instances like that. He's followed feedback every time I gave it, usually immediately.

I try to do the same when my reports give me feedback, and they've also been satisfied with it. Most recently, I was told I shouldn't abstract things too quickly, which was good advice, and following it has gotten good results.
That’s a risk I’m willing to take. I hate the TSA. I’ll take my chances in a world without them if given the opportunity.
Other than a nearly identical uniform that says CAS in place of TSA there is no apparent difference. Which is why I probably didn't even realize. In any case my return leg was delayed so I rented a car to drive back and have never returned to commercial flights since.
Apple Tends to Do Right by Apps It Acquires
It does exist. It’s called an EcoFlow or Jackery battery unit. It will be big and heavy, but that’s what’s needed to power a 120 volt mini.

The problem with using them is that it’s pretty inefficient to provide 120 volts for the mini’s power supply, only to down convert the voltages to what the logic board and components use. You’ll need way more mAh than you’d need to just power a MacBook.

Australian government drops misinformation bill
Is it maybe because centering divs was much better career choice than dealing with machines and chemicals for more than a decade now? If that’s changing and manufacturing becomes a need, it should correct by itself.

The west, especially the USA invested gargantuan money into high margin high scale businesses and the Chinese worked their way up in dealing with atoms with help of the west. Now they too can do many of the high margin stuff and the west will have to re-learn how to deal with atoms. It happened because the west’s rich were simply shittier than Chinese bureaucrats and invested badly by choosing wrong KPI or ideas. Wonder what happens if the AI thing doesn’t pan out after pouring enormous money on it(instead of on something strategically important but not as potentially lucrative).

IMHO things are reversible, especially for the USA. Europe is in a worse place as its demographics and energy situation is less favorable.
They’re certainly good at building.

Actually utilizing that capacity is something else entirely; there are factories less than ten years old shuttering due to overcapacity. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/23/business/china-auto-facto...

And the rush to subsidize more capacity is a big contributor to local government debt burdens in China, which is estimated to leave Chinese debt to GDP at 117%.
Funny thing about house numbers: they have their own validation problems. For a while I lived in a building whose house number was of the form 123½ and that was an ongoing source of problems. If it just truncated the ½ that was basically fine (the house at 123 didn't have apartment numbers and the postal workers would deliver it correctly) but validating in online forms (twenty-ish years ago) was a challenge. If they ran any validation at all they'd reject the ½, but it was a crapshoot whether which of "123-1/2" or "123 1/2" would work, or sometimes neither one. The USPS's official recommendation at the time was to enter it as "123 1 2 N Streetname" which usually validated but looked so odd it was my last choice (and some validators rejected the "three numbers" format too).

I don't think I ever tried "123.5", actually.
If your workloads are fairly static,ECS is fine. Bringing up new containers and nodes takes ages with very little feedback as to what's going on. It's very frustrating when iterating on workloads.

Also fargate is very expensive and inflexible. If you fit the narrow particular use case it's quicker for bringing up workloads, but you pay extra for it.
Unicode has metadata on each character that would allow software to easily strip out or normalize emoji's and "decorative" characters.

It might have edge case problems -- but the charcters in the OP's name would not be included.

Also, stripping out emoji's may not actually be required or the right solution. If security is the concern, Unicode also has recommended processes and algorithms for dealing with that.

https://www.unicode.org/reports/tr39/

We need better support for the functions developers actually need on unicode in more platforms and languages.

Global human language is complicated as a domain. Legacy issues in actually existing data adds to the complexity. Unicode does a pretty good job at it. It's actually pretty amazing how well it does. Including a lot more than just the character set, and encoding, but algorithms for various kinds of normalizing, sorting, indexing, under various localizations, etc.

It needs better support in the environments more developers are working in, with raised-to-the-top standard solutions for identified common use cases and problems, that can be implemented simply by calling a performance-optimized library function.

(And, if we really want to argue about emoji's, they seem to be extremely popular, and literally have effected global culture, because people want to use them? Blaming emoji's seems like blaming the user! Unicode's support for them actually supports interoperability and vendor-neutral standards for a thing that is wildly popular? but I actually don't think any of the problems or complexity we are talking about, including the OP's complaint, can or should be laid at the feet of emojis)
There are a few factors that make this possible:

1. As others have pointed out, the link budget (how much energy loss a particular radio link can handle before it is broken) for D2C satellites assumes a nearly direct line of sight from your handset to the satellite. This is much easier to achieve with satellites in space than it is with traditional cell towers that might have numerous walls/buildings in the way.

2. The D2C satellites use massive phased array antennas that are able to point a very narrow beam very accurately to the ground. This provides a substantial amount of antenna gain that further helps the link budget. The gain from the antennas allows the satellites to pick up even relatively weak signals from a handset.

There are other tricks as well, but these account for the largest differences. Of course, doppler gets in the way, but it is a solvable problem.
If your application doesn't need and likely won't need to scale to large clusters, or multiple clusters, then there's nothing wrong per se. with your solution. I don't think k8s is that hard but there are a lot of moving pieces and there's a bit to learn. Finding someone with experience to help you can make a ton of difference.

Questions worth asking:

- Do you need a load balancer?

- TLS certs and rotation?

- Horizontal scalability.

- HA/DR

- dev/stage/production + being able to test/stage your complete stack on demand.

- CI/CD integrations, tools like ArgoCD or Spinnaker

- Monitoring and/or alerting with Prometheus and Grafana

- Would you benefit from being able to deploy a lot of off the shelf software (lessay Elastic Search, or some random database, or a monitoring stack) via helm quickly/easily.

- "Ingress"/proxy.

- DNS integrations.

If you answer yes to many of those questions there's really no better alternative than k8s. If you're building large enough scale web applications the almost to most of these will end up being yes at some point.

I don't get this. What is stopping anyone from doing that themselves? Why does someone else have to do it?
Completely agree. I'm "late middle age", and while I lift weights regularly, including squats and deadlifts, I am otherwise pretty sedentary and I don't get a lot of "functional" fitness (e.g. sports).

Recently I decided to find a new hobby and started playing the violin. It was a wakeup call that after just a half hour standing playing the violin with my instructor that my back would basically seize up. It was quite embarrassing! Good thing is I got used to it pretty quick, and thanks to violin practice I stand much more than I used to (and plus I added more back and stretching exercises to my workout). As you say, it really takes a minimal amount to improve your strength.
