Even on the pro models with fans, they only turn on under heavy load. Most regular work is not heavy load, especially not the kind of work the Air is designed for. So I as a developer consider the fanless design to be a feature, not a performance problem. I've got an x86 desktop (and cloud services) for heavy workloads.
Sounds plausible. It's also a "fat and happy" symptom not to be able to fix deep underlying issues despite an ever growing pile of cash in the company.
Yes, and that's exactly the problem. It's like choosing a microservice architecture for resiliency and building all the services on top of the same database or message queue without underlying redundancy.
Depends on which service you're paying for. For pure hosting the answer is no, which is why it rarely makes sense to go AWS for uptime and stability because when it goes down there's nothing you can do. As opposed to bare metal hosting with redundancy across data centers, which can even cost less than AWS for a lot of common workloads.
Been using AWS too, but for a critical service we mirrored across three Hetzner datacenters with master-master replication as well as two additional locations for cluster node voting.
I find it interesting that AWS services appear to be so tightly integrated that when there's an issue in a region, it affects most or all services. Kind of defeats the purported resiliency of cloud services.
Last time I checked the standard SLA is actually 99 % and the only compensation you get for downtime is a refund. Which is why I don't use AWS for anything mission critical.
My experience is exactly the opposite. None of the cloud vendors are actually resilient, every single one of them have had major global outages. And when it happens you've got no influence on how fast it gets fixed. The only way of building a truly resilient infrastructure eith cloud vendors is mirroring across vendors. But it happens to be easier to mirror a private cloud between e.g. Hetzner and OVH than maintaining parallel setups in Azure and AWS.
The permissions and ownership part has little to do with the infrastructure – in fact I've often found it more difficult to get permissions and access to resources in cloud-heavy orgs.
Yea, ALVR is interesting, I have yet to try it out. I suspect latency is a real issue though, wish I could try it with DCS before shelling out $3500 : )
It's much easier to build a resilient system with a simple architecture. E.g. run the application on a decent VM or even bare metal server and mirror the whole system between a few different data centers.
More likely we'll get slammed with punitive tariffs because the corrupt rapist dictator didn't get it, just like when China basically stopped all imports from Norway when the peace prize was awarded to Liu Xiaobo.
Yea, I usually keep a simple incremental ID or whatever is default for internal IDs, and a separate external ID for entities that are presented externally. For security and not unnecessarily leaking info about the number of records, time and rate of record creation etc. UUIDv4 is convenient for uniqueness, but impractical if the ID needs to be conveyed over phone or written down – or used in URLs, so I often use some system for slugs or short codes in addition to the UUID.
External IDs shouldn't contain any metadata, UUIDv4 should be used for those. UUIDv7 is suitable for database primary keys when simple incremental IDs are not sufficient, but primary keys should really never be used externally.
Those phones are still _huge_ compared to the original iPhone.
The iPhone 4 was perfect at 115mm * 59mm and weighing just 137 grams.
The 13 mini was the last bearable iPhone at 132mm * 64mm and 135 grams.
Newer phones are simply too large and clumsy, and difficult to handle with one hand even for me as a grown man with fairly large hands. I don't want a tablet sized phone, I want a fully functioning phone that doesn't feel like a brick in my pocket.
It's not even just the ugly glass effects. Even with reduced transparency turned on in Accessibility, which makes the UI more tolerable, there are still weird animations and effects everywhere. They just seem completely out of place and serve no purpose. Safari feels like an early beta ridden with UI bugs, but apparently this is how they intended it to be.
It's not just Denmark, drones have been sighted at multiple Norwegian airports as well, including confirmed sightings by both police and air force at the main air base in Ørland. (Source in Norwegian, https://www.nrk.no/trondelag/etterforsker-mulig-droneaktivit...)
Kind of concerning they're not keeping TLS cert issuance even if only for the brand. Let's Encrypt is great, but it would be unfortunate if it ended up as a de facto monopoly.
Giving the LLM access to sources and enabling it to look up things that you would otherwise have to check yourself dramatically improves the usefulness and productivity, though.
It's not primarily a hunger "crisis", but a genocide perpetrated by Israel in full daylight for the world to see. They are turning Gaza into a death camp and the scenes unfolding are much like the horrors of nazi ghettos and camps.
