Re:How I run my servers on Friday July 21, 2023 @05:13PM (#36819857)
If I understand you correctly, you do a sort of blue green deploy? Load balancing between two versions while deploying but only one most of the time?

How do you orchestrate the spinning up and down? Just a script to start service B, wait until service B is healthy, wait 10 seconds, stop service A, and caddy just smooths out the deployment?

Business idea free for the taking:

Build home or industrial heating furnaces out of slightly out of date computer hardware. Give them away for next to nothing and make the money back by renting the cpu time out.

Electrical home heating is such a waste of energy when you think about it.

At least out of the box, I'm pretty sure FAISS doesn't support sparse matrices.

I agree, I think this is very unpythonic behavior

Tough because of the subject matter or the writing? Would you recommend it?

I really want to use xonsh as my daily but everytime I try to do a git rebase it doesn't handle the inputs properly for my editor.
Re:Email startup Superhuman lays off 22% of staff on Friday June 03, 2022 @10:14PM (#31616236)
I agree, VimCal has the same business model as Superhuman but doesn't require an onboarding call. So I'm only using Vimcal
Probably excluded because they're deemed unintentional. Of course the mosquitoes don't kill us intentionally either.
Re:The Sunk Cost “Fallacy” Is Not a Fallacy on Sunday August 29, 2021 @02:53PM (#28349419)
I've been calling this "The Sunk Cost Fallacy Fallacy", people don't understand it but still quote it liberally.

My favourite thing about the pixel 5 is the camera. I understand that they do a fair amount of software processing to make it so good. And most other apps don't let me use the wide lens. Is the experience as good on Graphene?
Attainable goals are more motivating and meaningful than unattainable ones. It's in many ways a different event because the equipment is different, so why should a record for a different event stand.
Re:It looks like a product but is secretly a subscription on Tuesday August 03, 2021 @12:53AM (#28045824)
It used to be the norm. Why did the "milk man industry" go under? Could it not compete with bulk buying milk once refrigeration became the norm?
I don't know if it's available outside the country. But the CBC is streaming everything online, no login required.

They have streams with commentary for the major events that they are televising but you can also watch the raw international streams with no commentary for everything else.

The streams are recorded and available at any time too.

If it's available in the US, or you have a VPN, I'd look into that.

I'm pretty sure Ryobi just licenses their name, and the tools are designed/made by Hong Kong's Techtronics. I don't think you can even buy Ryobi tools in Japan.
I've noticed this kind of thing happens a lot, especially with banks. The institution or counties that "went digital" earliest are now hampered by the tech debt and infrastructure from the early days. And slower institutions/counties can leap frog them.
Re:Show HN: Website changes design each time you blink on Friday July 23, 2021 @03:11PM (#27934466)
Impossible! That would be a wink.
The GBA (before the SP version) didn't have a backlight and so compared to the CTRs you played SNES games on were quite a bit darker. That's why most of these games got a brightness bump for the GBA.
That is awesome. So obvious when you think about it, I wonder what practical applications it has. Do photographers know about this?

It's always good to have a scapegoat. A lot of Open Source companies that sell support services are in many cases really selling themselves as a blameable party.

Can't speak to the glass. But I find tea tastes awful out of a metal thermos.
Re:Obvious and possible software innovations on Sunday June 20, 2021 @02:23AM (#27567645)
I disagree, I think it's a perfectly reasonable to critique someone's writing, and by extension the author.

You can't be rude and justify it by saying "it's just my management style" or "it's just my personality".

I still find it abhorrent that incarcerated people can't vote in the US. That seems so obviously exploitable.
Why? It seems very rational. Especially if you're just going to run it once to get a value and not as a part of some system.

Still seems reasonable for preventing an outside attack though.
Re:Intel Offers $2B for RISC-V Chip Startup SiFive on Friday June 11, 2021 @03:23AM (#27470290)
Intel have deep pockets so why not get on board early. Some big players are getting into RISC-V so why wait and play catch-up when you can get a foot in early. I don't think it matters to Intel is RISC-V overtakes x86 so long as they're still making money.
Re:On 'Biweekly' and 'Bimonthly' on Monday June 07, 2021 @02:12PM (#27425987)
I suspect it's something to do with how we bundle days together into weeks. "Next Friday" really means the Friday of next week. It's even less certain when we talk about Mondays and Sundays depending on which day you regard as the start of the week.

Note this is from 2011, before all the ISIS stuff began. I wonder if it's the same story there.
