It’s just the two below it. Beyond that are replies to the first message.

IIRC there’s a cache for logged out users; you’re not hitting the backend app.

At what cost though? What programs would suffer funding decreases?

This is why we elect representatives. It’s not a perfect system but the average citizen would not have the context necessary to make direct decisions on it.

NASA's total budget is approximately one half of one percent (0.5%) of the federal budget. Even at its peak in the 1960s, it never reached 5%. Seems pretty reasonable.

What could someone do with a curl pipe that they couldn’t do with a signed, obfuscated executable?

Have a look at the CCR2004-1G-2XS-PCIe from MikroTik. It’s a router on a PCIe card, with its own OS.

What’s your usecase? Might be able to get better recommendations if you can tell us what you’re trying to do.

The switch to the current pricing model was anything but smooth. The uproar was so bad they had to come back with a revised plan. A lot of people were still upset with the revised plan after it launched.

Not my site, but this blog entry explains what happened: http://muppetgate.github.io/the-jetbrains-subscription-blood...

Anything supported by Netlify, Vercel, Firebase, AWS Amplify, etc.

Once your app gets to that level, even keeping the lights on requires work. Third party dependencies don’t stop updates, security or otherwise. Laws and regulations change. Advertisers demand features that aren’t seen by the general public. Multiple SRE teams are needed to handle oncall rotations, outages, etc. And now that you have thousands of employees, you need to start building automated HR and IT tooling.

Yeah, I’ve built FriendlyWRT for the R5S. It’s reasonably doable in an afternoon, depending on skill level. FriendlyWRT, or at least the sources for it, is just a few minor configuration tweaks for performance + default packages.

BTT does work with the TouchBar, but the "Touch" in the name comes from "touchpad" since it originally was used to add various macros/gestures to the touchpad and mouse. TouchBar support was added later.

Most new Macs come with full-size function keys, including a massive escape key the same size as the tab key. (At least on the en-US layout; can't speak to others.)

I wouldn’t be worried about the sequence itself running out, but the column it’s stored in in the table may not be large enough to handle those numbers.

If they're not accounting for it, integer overflow could be a real problem. (And it's not clear they would account for it in a table that normally has 10s of thousands of entries.) Someone else mentioned it here too: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33242669

I’m engaged now, and met my fiancée on a dating site. At the time, it made sense that I deleted my account, since we were exclusive, but now those first messages exist only as a memory. I’d love to have those again, but I’m happy that data is gone.

G.fast is for pretty short runs. It’s basically just a curb-to-router solution; there’s typically fiber behind it.

In the US, the TSA and FAA have limitations on how big of batteries you can bring - and you must carry them on.

Mine's not my main computer, but being a standard x64 on Windows computer with both a network jack and full-sized SD card slot, mine gets plenty of use as my hangar computer. It's plenty powerful for reading PDFs & wiring diagram spreadsheets, which I sync locally via Syncthing to/from my NAS. And the two aforementioned ports are necessary for updating my avionics, but pretty rare these days without extra dongles. And while it's old, the T-series is decently rugged, so it'll probably survive a fall, perhaps with superficial scratches.

All in all, totally worth the couple hundred dollars I paid for it off-lease in something like 2015.

Interestingly, no mention of those of us who traveled abroad to Australia somewhat recently and got an Optus SIM.

I wouldn't be surprised if GCP has GPUs scattered throughout the datacenter. If you happen to want to attach one, it has to find one for you to use - potentially live migrating your instance or someone else's so that it can connect them. It'd explain the massive variability between launch times.

As a tourist, I buy it there. That way I know it's reef-safe without having to look at ingredients, and the few dollars spent vs. carrying a bottle through an airport is well worth it.

Many of the dive boats and hotels will offer sunscreen out of a bulk pump, so depending on what you do on the islands, you probably don't need much on your own - just a small tube for your group will do.

> I think a much better question would be "how are information security and privacy controls implemented"

I don't work for Google, but if I was asked that question, I'd be afraid of giving an answer that would violate my NDA. You'd probably get a vague answer like, "Those policies and processes do exist, but I'm not at liberty to go into them right now. Why do you ask - is there something specific I can address?"

Not sure why this is posted, but as an amateur aircraft builder, I have a love hate relationship with these things. On one hand, they're clearly very versatile and cheap. On the other, if there's a significant curve in where they're installed, it can be incredibly frustrating to get the pins in/out.

In some cases, we'll take the kit-provided hinge and put them aside. Instead, we'll use SkyBolt camloc-style fastners.

These seem like the kind of things you could/should be asking in your interview. For big companies, like levels.fyi caters to, there is no one size fits all answer. For small ones, the answer may be more straightforward, but you may have the ability to effect change for the better yourself.

Luckily, it sounds as if they’re relying mostly on lower level primitives vs. these higher level abstractions that are more likely to be discontinued.

Saw that they’re using a NanoPi - I just picked up an R5S (dual 2.5gbe + single 1gbe) and it’s a pretty neat device. Haven’t done any significant benchmarks yet, but I was able to use the FriendlyElec wiki to build FriendlyWRT and run it, which makes me feel a little better about running no-name hardware out of China.

This is off the bleeding edge; 22.04 was released in April. But now that 22.04.1 is out, `do-release-upgrade` from LTS->LTS works.

Given how hard MS has been pushing RTO, and how unlikely they are to be Mac users, I wouldn’t be surprised if they just don’t feel the pain like everyone else and therefore don’t care.

I really like how avoids a lot of the common YouTube schtick. Video starts and he gets right into it - no themes, long-winded intros, life story.

With IPv6, multiple addresses on a host are the norm. Just add a ULA network in addition to the public IPs you’re getting. No need to do NAT; your public stuff routes just fine using the public IPs and you can still contact internal resources on their ULA addresses as needed.

It is, and for a lot of things that works. But if your DNS server is not your router, it needs to be at a stable address so other hosts on the network can find it.

As I understand it, we (admins of ipv6 networks) are expected to run both public and private sets of addresses internally. The public ones may change if your ISP makes you, but your ULAs never do.
