I switched to Nextcloud Talk after Skype shutdown and migrated all my family there. They love it. We have a private cloud, we can share photos and other files, great mobile support... The only issue at the moment is relatively long delay before receiving a message (up to 30secs?) since I've been too lazy to setup redis.
I debugged an app a couple of years ago that from time to time brought entire MSSQL down. The server had to be physically restarted. Nobody could figure out for years what was going on, all the queries had been analyzed and checked for missing indexes, everything was profiled... Except when an app generated a query like this which did not go fine through the cached plan.
Should be pretty magnetic :)
However, this makes it as if you are being punished for exercising the rights that have been given to you by the original software license.
"It's the ground that kills you, not the fall" :)
Another interesting one was where I was attacked by 500 puppies and just said I realized it was a dream and woke up safe in my bed.
You have full powered engines in orbit on Starship, "just" need to fuel them :)
I'm solely printing my stuff to stamp a date and then scanning them back... Haven't found anything yet.
Now several formats are competing, most notably AVIF (which is basically just single AV1 video compressed frame) and JPEG XL. JPEG XL might be slightly better in some cases (as AVIF is based on a video codec) and most importantly it's backwards compatible with JPEG. So this means we can re-encode 30 years of JPEGs to JPEG XL without image degradation. Having a wide support would help immensely to make the format standard as otherwise everybody will just continue to use JPEGs. Google is somewhat against this as they already have support for AV1 and thus don't need to maintain a separate codec for JPEG XL.
But podman also supports systemd inside a container and along with macvlan networking you can pretty much build an "independent" container acting almost as a VM.
Would LXD provide any other advantages/differences to that?
For specific questions, I find (and trust) the results faster on Stack Overflow. The code that ChatGPT produces is fairly good and my boss is impressed when I showed him the answer of How to parallel filter a List in Java. Yet, filtering a List is a far cry from building an app (which my boss thinks ChatGPT can do, given enough explanation what to do).
And any other general questions, while again, impressive...are too general for someone with a specific knowledge and useful only for somebody not familiar with the subject. Maybe the trick is how the answers are presented with confidence and giving the feeling that the converser actually knows something about the subject, yet I know it just machine generated babbling without any real understanding...
What they do is centralize CO2 production which can be then mitigated on a larger scale (switching power production to nuclear/solar/wind, CO2 capture from industrial processes...).
They also clean-up living spaces and allow pollution (that which is necessary) to be outside of the cities. This alone would probably save millions of lives...
I'd imagine outputting optimized avx code from an existing C for() loop would be much easier than going from a "write me a python code that..." prompt.
By converting to h264 the video is probably compatible with a wider range of devices, but the usual compression artifacts might appear if compression level is high.
Although I'm not a full time developer, I do some small coding and I'm also sort of responsible for the dev team. I rarely use a debugger. I do most of debugging through logging. There are 2 advantages that I see:
- it forces me to add the logs where they are needed to understand the flow of the application
- it forces me to make those logs actually usable, readable and understandable
If you sell empty bags on the street, promising the buyers there is bread inside, only to collect those empty bags back when the buyers throw the (supposed) bread away because it became worthless, is not good business. You're the only one profiting, both the bakers and the buyers are loosing money.
1. earlier 737 models didn't pitch up and Boeing wanted the plane to "feel" the same and not have to re-train the pilots
2. there is some certification requirement that the pitch has to be constant during climb (or something like this); if the plane doesn't have this, it is not certified to fly. It wouldn't pass FAA certification without MCAS.
