Why has the seasonal workforce shrunk?

Usually most staffing issues can be solved with higher wages. Could it be a solution here?

It worked fine, we had no issue with it. We moved to SQS because it was one less thing we needed to spend time on.

I tried very hard to use postgres as a queue, it was robust but slow once I started to push from more than a few processes/servers. Moving to zeromq initially and sqs after solved all my perf issues, and was still solid.

Oh! I couldn't find it when I looked for it this morning. Thank you!

Nice. It reminds me of a blog of a guy who had mounted a flatbed scanner on an electrical motor to make a digital photo before digital camera existed. He had added one of the resulting picture of his backyard. It was one of the most viral Slashdot post at the time.

I did not know the term but I'm thinking that the old project management triangle (cheap, good, fast) is a specialisation of that concept.

Publication (Facebook, insta, reddit etc...), yes, messaging not so much.

Most publication and messaging tools strip exif data, which is incredibly frustrating when friends send you pictures taken together as you no longer have the time stamp, nor GPS coordinate.

Didn't the courts decide that if it's just for learning everything is fair game?

A380? Did you mean A320?

Before the concept of cloud was a thing, every company and a computer room, smaller ones were literal closets, bigger ones were large data centers, with everything in between.

Skills can be hired and trained.

I was surprised they used a square (5x5) as fonts are usually taller than wide.

But they mention:

> Narrower 4x5 and 3x5 dimensions are possible, but would require sacrificing the M, dotted zero, and reduce U/V/Y distinctiveness

Note whole the characters are 5x5, the character box is 6x6 to provide for Spain between characters, from what I can tell from https://maurycyz.com/projects/mcufont/real.jpg

The price does not matter, even if it were free. If you need to be logged on into an external service to be able to code, it's just not the same any more, and I'm thinking of basic technology here, but the political/distopian ramifications are crazy.

For me, the biggest shift is people who don't care about local AI. The idea that you can no longer code without paying a tax to one of the billion $ backed company isn't sitting well.

Add some walnuts. See my other comment for reasoning.

Citation Needed.

My understanding is that the very few studies that showed positive impact of "adding" saturated fat turned out to be a replacement issue. They replaced junk (candy, refined carbs) with sat fat. Replacing with MUFA and PUFA showed a much greater effect.

30 % of the population have genetic makeup such that they can smoke all their life and not increase their risk of lung cancer by much, yet it's deadly for the other 70% of the population.

Many many studies over many decades, reviewed and controlled for other factors have showed that consumption of saturated fat increases heart health issues leading to death in the majority of the population. Finland and Norway have reduced the number of CVD at the population level by educating and pushing for a reduction in sat fat. You are probably one of the few exception.

This, and the infamous seed oils are subject on which Attia has controversial opinions - he is not an expert on nutrition, nor an epidemiologist, but neither am I, so my advice would be to broaden your sources of information.

Having said this, is the thing about PUFA the results of the studies from Walter Willet? I've just watch Chris MacAskill (Viva Longevity on YouTube) talking about it, it seems that PUFA (fatty fish, walnuts, sunflower seed oil) has the most positive effect on triglycerides across the whole population, and beyond reducing saturated fat and increasing fiber intake.

Right, that makes sense and the way all providers that I've seen, work.

When you say no ipv4 on regular phone plan, you mean no routable ipv4 on the internet, or no ipv4 at all?

Or we should start a wall of shame of services not available on IPv6.

For now. A year ago they weren't even Gen AI videos. Give it a few months...

The Web APIs is the most ubiquitous "computer" that doesn't really exist!

mDNS

In the past few weeks I have been exploring mDNS and IPv6. Your router doesn't provide local DNS? Not an issue, add .local to the hostnames and boom, everything works.

For example, run `python3 -m http.server` on your laptop, then open the browser on your phone and browse yourlaptopname.local:8000 ! There's more, services are advertised on mDNS, that's how your printer magically appears on your computers and phones.

Perfect timing for me, I've just been spending my side-project time in the last few weeks on building the smallest possible VMs with different glibc distros exactly for this, running podman containers, and comparing results.

What's the "Sign in to study" button? Nothing happens when I click on it. If I click above it takes me to am explanation of the subject.

Yet you're paying to get a passport etc...

Agreed but we do have to interact with them. I once tried to sell a car with 140 Mm and got nowhere. I then changed the add to 140_000 km and got a lot more interest.

Did you measure them?

Did you return the one you bought locally?

But commercialism keeps telling people that only nicer things can make them happy.
