Well, it goes both ways. You'll see articles saying essentially "you don't need Postgres or any other fancy database, SQlite is enough" while ignoring the fact that some use-cases warrant a more conventional DB server.
Different tools for different situations!
Maybe they are just for internal use? I doubt Apple is going back on the server market, and given how little they have invested in the Mac Pro, I doubt they are going to make a new version. There is little advantage compared to the Mac Studio for most users. External GPU support would change that, but it doesn't seem to be what they want.
It's been unacceptable for months, but now it's at the level of "we should actively look for alternatives".
Didn't know that tool existed, thanks for that! I assume it's using the development features in order to bypass protections?
Links are also often modified with "hxxps" instead of "https". Link is still clickable but will not work.
Fascinating! So it's a bit like a plate reverb (used in the olden days in audio engineering), but in the MHz range.
There is a technical solution to this - make Amber alerts specifically not bypass do-not-disturb. Others can stay as-is because I want to get woken up in case of natural disaster or other catastrophe.
My phone is always on vibration, but even on do-not-disturb, Amber alerts make it vibrate on my nightstand and that is enough to wake me up (especially since I have a work phone and a personal phone triggering at the same time).
Anyway, it's definitely a first-world problem but it is one with an easy, no-downside solution.
It is the same in Canada [1] yet I frequently see beer sold in "US pints" over here. I assume they do it so they can advertise cheaper prices (the amount being smaller). Some places will write the glass size in ounces, but some won't.
It is one of my pet peeves for sure.

I don't understand what is their thought process. Am I supposed to get up and start driving in hopes of finding the kid(s)? By the time I wake up in the morning, usually, they have been found.
Just set it so that it doesn't bypass do-not-disturb and it'll have the same result while not disturbing sleep. Those awake will get the notification, and for the others, they can see it in the morning.
Apart from the HTML5 export mentioned by another commenter, there exists Ruffle[1], a Rust + WASM reimplementation of Flash that can play swf files. It's used a lot on archive.org or on some websites like https://homestarrunner.com.
It's particularly annoying one asks for people's input/opinion, and then someone posts an emoji-ridden tirade that is clearly copy-pasted from ChatGPT.
Like, I know how to use it. The fact that I asked a bunch of humans is because I wanted actual people to respond, and specifically not AI.
Except you can make oxygen for pretty cheap using oxygen concentrators. The technology is simple enough that home versions exist for patients with lung problems can lug one around at all times to have a feed of oxygen rich air. Oxygen is almost 21% of the air we breathe, it's trivial to capture. Hydrogen counts for only 0.000055%.
Native French speaker here. 1300s I could still kinda follow the story with difficulty but from the 1200s I just couldn't anymore.
I felt like it helped to use an "old english" accent in my inner voice when reading.
AWS does have a European sovereign cloud now: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/opening-the-aws-european-so...
Now how bulletproof it is in practice will be tested in years to come, I'm sure. But it seems to be using the same model as AWS in China where a local company licenses and operates the software from AWS.
I think the abysmal adoption numbers of the v26 OSes have played a big role here.
Given Tesla's abysmal track record on keeping their promises I feel like it is justified to dismiss them, at the risk of being surprised if they do make it.
I had that laptop and it is the worst computer I have ever owned. As soon as you booted the fans would start spinning. There were sometimes kernel panics when plugging or unplugging Thunderbolt devices.
I have an M1 Max MBP now and it has been absolutely perfect.
Well, to play devil's advocate, typically only the minified version is exposed.
However I agree that in the end outside of making it more readable, it's not making a huge difference.
Well, the current hardware is solid - great build quality, powerful, insane battery life.
However, software-wise, the peak was 10.6. There hasn't been the same level of quality ever since.
This has not been an issue in Canada. There is sales tax, which basically randomizes the last digit.
Love Atomic Shrimp. There is so much variety in his content, and always a focus on curiosity, trial and error, and learning things. One of the most positive channels on Youtube.
Yeah, I am obviously not a data scientist.
I guess where I was getting at is they do not technically even need to know genres to recommend songs. In practice though, they probably have to know them anyway for playlists, but I assume they can have the song owners provide that when the songs are uploaded, and artists specify it when they create their profile.
Does it really need to think about the song contents? It can just cluster you with other people that listen to similar music and then propose music they listen to that you haven't heard.
I was at a security conference recently and one of the presentations had some TLP:RED slides in it.
I couldn't help but find that pointless. The conference is open to the public, the only barrier to entry being a small amount of money to purchase a ticket. How would that prevent bad actors from signing up to access the sensitive information?
It absolutely makes sense when used within an organization where access/membership is properly vetted, but there, I feel like there was no point.
Thanks for sharing this, great read.
That original Glacier API was infamous for being extremely cheap to write to but prohibitively expensive to read from. Something like 10 cents per list objects request or something ridiculous like that. Can't remember the specifics but I do remember reading blog posts from people that wanted to restore a couple files and had to pay several thousand dollars for that.
I believe that they did alter the pricing at some point. Regardless, the move to just a storage class on S3 made everything much simpler.
My VW Golf has ABS based tire pressure monitoring and for the most part it works. The disadvantage is that it can only tell you if one tire is flat. If they all get slowly flat over time there won't be a significant discrepancy between tires and they will not trigger any warning.
I consider that a worthy tradeoff though, I can just check the pressure once in a while and I get to save money on my winter wheel set.
We do, but not everyone looks at them. I certainly do not always look at it.
A pet peeve of mine is tissues/toilet paper/paper towels. Sometimes the price is "per roll", sometimes it is "per sheets". Sometimes it's even different between different package sizes of the same product. It's infuriating to have to bust out the calculator to figure out if the deal on the 6 pack is a better price than the regular priced 12 pack.
The thing is that there is a greater incentive to shrink than to inflate prices. Or at least, to do a combination of the two.
Price-conscious consumers will probably choose the shrunk item over another brand that increased their price, even though the price per unit might be the same.
Have you looked into orthokeratology?
Basically, contact lenses you wear at night (which could perhaps be tolerable for you). Then, your vision stays fine during the day (mostly, it worsens gradually but it's manageable).
I don't use it myself but I have a relative that does and they love it.
