I have a similar experience. I'm playing minecraft lately and I have patched already like 5 issues in the server that I would never put together time to trace/debug/understand/fix, including some o(n^3) integration between mods that was lagging the server. Same thing for utilities, managing backups, etc.

Am I the only one bothered because the license plate masking they have used is so bad that you can see the License plate whole several times?

I would totally recommend brave search. For us it highly improved our experience.

It gives you your current speed, the speed limit, and flashes warns when you go over the limit. I find it more helpful than plain speedometer because sometimes you don't notice speed limit changes
I would say clickhouse
I would argue with that looking at Argentina. I do see however there is not enough data to be biased against any side, but disruptive changes in management are in my perception more effective on changing the status quo.

Achieving change against current incentives with politically mindful measures I'd say is very time consuming and slow.

In regards to your point I agree that treating public services as companies that can't be running at a loss is been demonstrated to be bad, but there is a fine line between trying to make public services profitable VS trying to make them more efficient.

Re:Ask HN: Does the Framework laptop stand the test of time? on Wednesday January 01, 2025 @11:55AM (#42567238)
I had mine for almost a year now. The laptop is nice, although I had problems with the motherboard twice.

Pros: * super modular, I have 2 usbc and 2 usba usually and the hdmi and ethernet on the backpack for when needed * it's pretty fast in comparison to my carbon x1 from 2021

Cons: * the motherboard died twice and they still don't know why. I suspect the charger as it stops charging after a while, something tells me they haven't fully figured out the motherboard completely yet. * BIOS software is also somewhat lacking still, but this is a well known problem they are hoping to fix with time * Battery life is not really the best, but again I blame it on the BIOS * fingerprint reader just works in Linux, and webcam too which is a difference with Carbon x1

I'm looking forward to future improvements and maybe seeing them enter the mobile phone market.

To make it worse, he made clear when the call had happened, and you have: 1) Who was in the call 2) When the call happened 3) A blur instead of a complete black out

I'm not sure I would feel safe reporting stuff to journalists nowadays.

Wow this looks good! Any chance you will be distributing for native linux?
Re:Namecheap still doesn't charge VAT in Europe on Tuesday December 05, 2023 @01:00PM (#38534552)
So I was going through my namecheap account and I found out that Invoices are nowhere to be found in Europe. How is it possible for them to still skip this obligation after these many years?

Out of doubt, which seems to be spreading around the internet. The LLaMa model weights weren't "leaked" AFAIK but rather explicitly given access to to researchers, isn't it right?

I know the article goes on to speak about something else, but I'm not sure why this claim that the LLaMa model weights were leaked, as in unintendenly made available is being done.

I use elvish[0] and have been using it as my main shell for the last 2 years. I like the focus on datastructures and flows (such as exceptions).

It is mature enough for me, and I have found that the nuance of having non-posix compatibility in some things doesn't annoy me as much as when I hit a problem that is too small to write python and to complex for bash.

Community is great, and I always find the answer to my problems in either the chat or other code samples.

Lost me when it said dBm is the small version of dB. The former is absolute measurement the latter is ratio and needs to be compared to something.

Re:Ask HN: What to use instead of Bash / Sh for scripting? on Thursday April 15, 2021 @04:30AM (#26817664)
I recently changed my shell to elvish because of the data structures and extendability. It has a lot of sane defaults that make it very appealing to me. https://elv.sh/

Funny, I discovered that I could uses sysexcepthook to do some funny stuff long ago, documented it in my twitter, and everytime I have stuff like this I go to my twitter to copy paste.

He means that there was a sales pitch from all gcp sales guys to not charge for that. 99.95% is not enough IMO to charge 73$/mo.

As someone else noted, it breaks a lot of recommended architectures where you would have auto provisioning and a lot of clusters to separate concerns and keep costs down.

Finally, the pricing changes are starting to look like a pattern, every time Google deems the usage of a product is good enough, they will increase the price.

They are the Ryanair of the cloud.

Edit 1: moreover, it will increase the cost of composer, and on top of that, the recommended pattern where composer is paired with a kubernetes cluster for executing the workloads

Europe too?
I have found everything but the last part, which the output format is... I suppose I will have to download and test it.
I would love to use this instead of VHDL, I have been searching for an alternative to those such verbose languages for a long time, but wasn't able to find any.

Where can I download a compiler? How may I start using it? I haven't found any reference of low level that could help me to understand what is the output of the compilers.
