I use restic. Restic offers everything advertised on the tarsnap website (deduplicated snapshots, e2e encryption). I pay $6 per terabyte per month using backblaze's cloud object storage. Wasabi offers 1TB at $7/mo. S3 costs $26&#x

A better analogy than music might be dance: The reward for dancing well is simply the feeling of dancing well. In a properly-designed game, the game feel of successfully completing the technical challenge is itself the reward. A dance th

Bullet hell shooters are deterministic. Mob behaviour in Silksong is random. It is entirely possible for a boss in Silksong to spawn several mobs that all do inconvenient attacks at once, boxing you in. Some of the optional bosses in Silkso

Why? You're just going to unwrap that monad and promptly crash. It's unrecoverable; it doesn't need to go back into "the bloodstream of the program." No amount of static typing will turn this runtime error into a co

You can't gloss over the difference between "schema" and "type." Schemas exist at the edges between pieces of software. They govern how you talk to databases or APIs; they needs to be forwards- and backwards-compati

Yeah—lasy time I had that issue, I found postgres was materializing some of the subqueries and then naively scanning those materialized queries when the original tables had indexes. I fixed it by adding "not materialized" and hitt

Nope, because unions merge columns. `select * from Actor union select * from Movies` gives you [(0, "Harrison Ford"), (0, "Indiana Jones")], which is a problem because we can't tell which rows are actors and which r

The json in my example would be generated in client code from the rows returned by the query, which I represented as CSV. The client's representation could just as easily be objects or protobufs or whatever, but I figured json would be

Try using the `explain analyze` statement. My guess is, either you need to add indexes, or you're not using the indexes you do have because some of your subqueries are being materialized when they shouldn't be. I can't be sur

They're a large, trusted enterprise software company specializing in security. I'm very comfortable using them as a heuristic for the most secure that a regularly-used private key can possibly be.

NOBUS is only NOBUS until a spy gets their hands on the escrow master key (or until Donald Trump shares it at a dinner party on a lark, for that matter). If RSA's signing keys can be compromised¹, anything can be compromised. [1]: &quo

I don't think so. If you run a server that won't respond to unencrypted requests, I think that would be considered a form of forcing people to use encryption. That's the only way I can interpret "they'll need to mak

That's an oddly legalistic line to draw. What if they start licensing the hardware too? Surely if we care about users being respected by technology, the line between software and hardware or between ownership and licensing is immateria

Apple also permits people who follow an application process to sideload software. That's still illegal. I'm not sure what the details are of this EU law, but it's entirely possible that Google will be noncompliant here.
