I'm not a huge stout fan but Sam Smith's is pretty outstanding.

Please explain. I want to know if I'm doing those 2 things correctly...

How does one pronounce this tool

It used to be that people didn't read the article, now they don't even read the headline.

I think part of the issue is that Azure has been struggling to reliably provision Linux VMs. Whether that's due to increased load, poor operational execution, or a combination of them, it's hard for anyone on the outside to know.

Can anyone comment on the woman peeling her face (mask) off in the background? wth is going on there?

It's because your brain is predicting what they will say while they speak, and processing an answer at the same time. It's also why when they say what you didn't expect, you say, "what?" and then answer half a second later, when your brain corrects.

that's super interesting. do you know of any resources to learn more about this phenomenon?

prompt: what's the term for financial moves where you keep finding new investors to pay off the previous ones

GPT-4o mini: The term for financial moves where new investors are continually recruited to pay off previous ones is often referred to as a "Ponzi scheme." Another similar term is "pyramid scheme," where returns are paid to earlier investors from the contributions of newer investors, but with a structure that typically requires participants to recruit others to earn returns. Both schemes are unsustainable and illegal.

I always find these discussions about AWS NAT gateways interesting because I recall way back in the day, before AWS had a manages NAT gateway, the recommendation was to roll your own anyway. Or at least that's what I heard. I took an ACloud Guru course and one of the first ec2 lessons was to create a simple NAT gateway in your VPC so that your other instances could reach the Internet.

I mean, they have built their own model: https://cursor.com/blog/composer

And presumably they'll use the funding to build more than just a modified VSCode.

I'd argue this is an issue not just with "non-tech" folks, but even engineers who don't have experience with Prometheus and other time-series databases. Learning promql always seemed like a hard thing to ask of other engineers. Grafana has made it easier to explore and build queries over time, but there are still quirks and nuances that can be difficult to explain to people whose role doesn't typically involve scouring through metrics.

How are you finding it compares to just using [Neo]Vim with all the plugins and custom configs? What improvements does it offer?

At least in the US, people routinely spray dandelions with weed killer. So an argument could be made in favor of telling kids - especially in a classroom setting - where you'd rather err on the side of keeping kids from picking dandelions from any yard they pass by, and eating them.

China's done similar things, the most prominent I can think of being them bullying the NBA into policing what their players can say.

From what I understand, it is cheaper. However, that's just with new power. Most of the power available now is from existing installations, making existing fossil fuel power cheaper than any new installations.

I remember during most interactions with healthcare providers during my wife and I's pregnancies, hardly anyone ever talked to me, sometimes never even looking at me. I get it, I'm not the one carrying a baby to term, but I would have thought the fact that I was showing up to all these appointments, staying by my wife's side, taking part in decisions, and supporting her and the baby through the whole thing would have granted me a bit of acknowledgement of my role and investment in the whole process. But many times people acted like I wasn't even there.

I can't imagine having to deal with that dynamic with what you went through, and am so sorry for your loss.

But I think a distinction between "against" and "next to" is that generally speaking, "against" implies a closer contact than just being "next to" or "adjacent to" something. Like in the chair example, "against the wall" would mean pushing the chair up as close to the wall as you can make it, whereas "next to the wall" would mean putting it close to it, but not necessarily touching it. If it was a folding chair and someone told me to put it "against the wall" I would take that to mean "fold it up and prop it up on the wall".

Yes, that is totally allowed. It is trivial to find products with the confederate flag printed on them.

Which direction are you betting on lab-grown meats?

Not arguing with you that it takes a considerable amount of time to prepare and clean-up a home cooked meal. But as someone who is not living alone (have a wife and kids), I'd say you probably have a lot more free time than you think you do, and I'm not sure that cooking just for yourself takes up any more time than it would cooking more food, for more people with varying tastes, allergies, etc. Add to the fact that most of the people being cooked for (kids) are basically freeloaders, I think that people living alone really have less excuse to eat healthy.

Can someone ELI5 for me?

I mean, to be fair, having a Code of [Conduct|Ethics] is table-stakes for any company smaller than a small startup. This is far from a song and dance, but just checking off a box.

Everything is going down right now. -10% over the last 3 months doesn't seem that epic to me.

There's an option to order without any OS installed

There's also the fact that the "inflation rate" is a pretty imprecise number. There's no real inflation rate, it's more of an average of the price increases of various sectors of the economy. But even drilling down into the sectors you have to account for things like geography. So the inflation rate is useful as a gauge for where the economy at the macro level is heading, but for making individual salary decisions at a single company it's not very helpful.

Point a seems more related to the "culture" surrounding modern engineering than it does a prerequisite for the discipline itself. Looking at how SpaceX engineers produce things looks totally different (from my outside perspective) from how a civil engineer sitting behind a desk would sign off on designs. Engineers at SpaceX seem to be more accepting of failure and have the "move fast, break things" mindset that most traditional engineers don't have.

Although the new CEO has only been in place for about a week. I bet this acquisition has been in the works for longer than that.

There is a large community of folks running kubernetes at home, aptly known as k8s-at-home (https://k8s-at-home.com/). They're a great resource for anyone wanting to get started with k8s at home (and especially on Pi's). They have helm charts for deploying a lot of common apps, a Discord channel, tutorials, etc.

I use Brave, with the Rewards junk, and it has maintained its speed that every other browser I've used loses as it fills up with caches, history, extensions, etc.

It wasn't just the fingerprinting and data collection that was mentioned. There were also out-of-date dependencies with known vulnerabilities. Also, their un-audited kernel driver.
