Whatsapp contacts are phone numbers, so you can just call or text them with the phone network instead if it's essential.

They claim R2 is only free for infrequent access, and the storage price is still really expensive compared to the cost of hard disks, so the potential for disruption seems quite limited. There seems to be potential for big disruption only i

Just don't express yourself online non-anonymously, and in real life don't go to places where cameras are allowed.

That's very verbose but not super clear. A better explanation is that the main problems of processor design are that memory reads take 100-1000 times the time of an arithmetic operation and that hardware is faster when operation are ru

Interesting! Though it seems to share the problem of all current dependently typed languages of not supporting efficient implementation since everything has to be boxed and there are no linear types. So you are forced to choose between some

Price still seems absurdly high for backup purposes. $0.015/GB/month means $150/10TB/month, but you can buy an 10TB USB hard drive for around $150-250 which is likely to last at least 10 years on average, so the service

Of course they form a monoid with concatenation, but it's not the monoid that makes the monad (which should be pretty obvious since concatenation is not used in the monad operations for arrays).

The article is completely wrong. The monoid operation is not array concatenation (wtf?) but the monad join operation. Here is a correct explanation: https://stackoverflow.com/a/3870310

The article starts talking about professions where working remotely allows to service more or in fact all possible customers in the world at once (e.g. musicians, teachers). That is not the case for programmers, consultants and contractors

They are addictive and conditioning and thus compete with the social conditioning from the Chinese government.

Interestingly, the exercise is so boring (add authentication to a website with tests and documentation, for an outdated framework like Angular) that it probably selects out people who want to have a somewhat interesting job in addition to t

Someone added it to libc and now it needs to be provided forever for compatibility.

I wonder if after being vaccinated it might be beneficial to intentionally get infected with the actual virus? The downside is of course the risk of severe illness and having to quarantine until the virus is cleared, but the upside is that

Why not use unvaccinated people from the general population? There would be some selection bias, but it's going to be irrelevant for most things.

It is a clear sign that the person never had any genuine interest in computing, since that would have led to learning how a CPU works (it's the most important part of a computer!) and thus its instruction set, which would have of cours

I don't really see what the problem would be with vaccinating every six months in case it turns out to be necessary to keep up immunity; in fact even vaccinating every month would be fine to avoid the risk of severe COVID. Indications

In addition to adding the continuum axiom or its negation, there's also the approach of restricting oneself to computable sets and thus only having countable infinities.

The initial design was quite flawed, in addition to not using sequences they should not use one DB object per organization, but rather a single object with an "organization" field.

GraphQL can be seen as a programming language to write API endpoints, which you can expose as HTTP endpoints in a RESTful way if you want (or use a single POST endpoint, or use WebSockets). In a traditional REST system you implement each AP

Transactions have to be irreversible so that law enforcement is impossible, which is the main selling point of cryptocurrencies. Of course that's a downside if you are the one who would like law enforcement to happen (either because yo

If your external integration has no local alternative, you are getting locked-in to its provider, so you should either not use it, or have an abstraction layer and implement an alternative backend.

At least in some European countries fiber goes to a GPON terminal in the apartment and then proceeds via Ethernet cable to the home router. I'd guess the co-ax cable is probably a US-only practice.

This is a Bayesian model so it of course provides a probability distribution for both the parameters and the forecasted values. P(model | historic_data) = P(historic_data | model) P(model) / (sum(model) P(historic_data | model) P(model

Shouldn't time-based (weekly and holiday) and trend effects be multiplied rather than added? For instance, if users spend twice as many hours on the weekend on a website, and the total number of users has doubled, then these effects mu

Maybe it can be fixed with custom ACPI tables or a custom kernel driver? Try running acpi_listen and pressing an Fn+something combo to see if it's ACPI-based. If so, it's a relatively easy fix by disassembling the ACPI tables, alt
