If you don't regularly test your failover, chances are it will not kick in when the primary fails. Especially if the primary is very reliable. Very common pattern. Ideally, you periodically test your ability to failover. But if it does

Hmm, if memory serves, there was an old paper from 2013 that viagra might help with womens' period pain. (Dilates the blood vessels, right?) Did follow-up studies for that ever happen? Was it affirmed/refuted?

On the left side, the label says "Click or Drag to upload", and at the bottom there is a label saying "Your files are not uploaded anywhere". If you have control over the left file picker, it might make sense to change t

Maybe ten years ago I remember playing bluffing games like "Werewolf" and "Mafia" on IRC, where a bot would randomly assign you to be a wolf or resistance and you'd talk it up in the chat. One Night Ultimate Werewol

I wonder what models can create incentive alignment when the output should be free - things like kids' games, education, research, food for the needy.

If you have a bunch of computers each on a fixed timer, and their clocks are synchronized (say, with NTP), then on the least common multiple of all of those timers you'll get a stampede of requests from all of the computers. If you&#x2

I once got a tour of ILM through a coworker -- this is a very real concern even with blowing up miniatures. So you always make three: the one you plan to blow up, the backup, and the one you hope will go into the archives to show people lat

A lot of the .se registrars are in Sweden, but if you're just using it as a name hack then your options may be more limited (eNom/Tucows, Name.com, and Dyn (which was acquired by Oracle and then subsequently by name.com)). Maybe t

It looks like the study in question started in 2018, so they'll have two seasons (1.5 years) of data to answer that question. https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/study/NCT03450915?term=M...

The very first prototypes of Dropbox were Py2, so I suspect that legacy is a reason why it was chosen for the codegen. My $dayjob also started as a large python code base, and so there are still lots of one-off Py2 scripts that need to be d

Sometimes parts from China get stuck in customs or are otherwise delayed, and this affects Tesla as much as the rest of us. Here's an interview Elon did with Sal Khan back in 2013. He literally had employees running around to buy as ma

I love the quick chat protocol. It's a concrete example of what to do, instead of just saying "please don't just say hi". I think there is one good strong counterpoint to it -- it is if there is a chance that the words &

I remember trying a few WebDAV implementations back in the day -- the performance was awful, and they were difficult to configure compared to a vanilla SSH or Apache/Nginx install. Implementing on top of HTTP is usually to make things

Ah, my parents had one of these. It stopped booting in the mid 90s or so. I wonder if all it needed was some battery replacement or something.

I think that this is a fair question, especially if you don't live in the US. The context is that certain populations in the US are known to be disenfranchised from getting ID. Here's an example from the Washington Post in 2016:

Voter rolls should only contain US citizens. Census is "actual Enumeration” of “all persons", so you'd need to join/filter the data to remove people who are not citizens. Doing so would cause some folks to be afraid&#x2F

Re #2: Do you have thoughts on how folks will update their archive after the initial sync? KA-Lite had a similar offering in the education space, but redownloading a .zip to get five new files when 95% of the content is the same seems not i

That's due to rent, not taxes, though, right? A tax impacting the top 0.5% of earners would maybe cause someone to move a corporate HQ out-of-state. That said, based on how SF's Prop C (2018) went, billionaires disagree on whether

When I was in school in the 00's I had a lot of classes around how to write search queries. I feel like the way this GPT-3 query was phrased was rather clever, and I wouldn't be surprised if we saw "how to prompt GPT-3"

The tiny pockets are fine for holding a single key. Where they fail is the modern keychain, with a car key and a door key and a mailbox key and key to enter the gated community and a key for the office and a security key for a computer. Lik

If you actually do this, just make sure your crawler doesn't get caught on some programmatic infinite webpage generator. Like one of those calendar widgets.
