Factorio is much more like software development. Especially when you notice that your earlier assumptions were wrong and you need to refactor your base, tearing down all the stuff you build earlier.

-30 votes would be extremely unusual on SO. That amount of votes even including upvotes in such a short time would be almost impossible. The only way you get that kind of massive voting is either if the question hits the "Hot Network Q

Regarding the question why scientists don't buy the sequencing machines themselves I think a major factor is likely that sequencing is something that everyone expects to be a service and not something you do yourself. I would not even

I'd probably look at using S3 as a backup and only have the working copy with Hetzner. Not sure how much more expensive that would be, the pricing for the non-standard S3 and glacier does seem to require a bit more work to understand p

I'm more concerned about bursts, not sustained throughput. When handling large files a single client can load at 1 Gbit/s if the other side supports that. My suspicion was also that they're intentionally targeting a different

One thing I noticed is that some limits seem rather low, I'm not sure if this is for the beta only or by design. Particularly the 1 Gbit/s limit per bucket and the 10 buckets for all projects. Is it typical to have such per-bucket

I looked and there is no mention of BOLT yet in the pgsql-hackers mailing list, that might be the more appropriate place to get more attention on this. Though there are certainly a few PostgreSQL developers reading here as well.

My first instinct is that the effect is too large to be real. But that should be something other people could reproduce and verify. The second thought is that it might overfit the benchmark code here, but they address it in the post. But an

It's a self-selected group of people that have already shown to believe all kinds of outrageous lies. So of course they're an ideal target for scams.

It is not comparing the same thing, but if you look strictly at the specs of the hardware you get then AWS can be easily 5-10 times as expensive as Hetzner. If you include bandwith the difference can be far more ridiculous if you get anywhe

I don't think the people saying that AGI is happening in the near future know what would be necessary to achieve it. Neither do the AGI skeptics, we simply don't understand this area well enough. Evolution created intelligence and

That was my understanding and also my plan, but it does not seem feasible to force this as the vendor of the software. If the customer says they need SAML at some point the business side will require that it is implemented. I do want to try

If the customer is using an identity provider like Microsoft Entra, is there any reason not to just use OIDC instead of SAML?

One big problem is that you often don't know yet what you actually need, you only find that out when your software is in front of real users. So the later versions might be substantially different than your MVP. Building a very robust

There are cases where it is really useful to have only universally unique IDs, e.g. if you have multi-tenant systems and at some point you need to move tenants to a different server/instance or merge tenants on the same DB.

The title is clickbait or maybe simply misguided in my opinion. A cheap VM and Serverless services are very different things and not directly comparable. But I do sometimes get the impression that the simple approaches are discarded too eas

They're conventional missiles, not nuclear. And nuclear capable is a bit misleading here as that capability was dismantled for the Tomahawk cruise missiles. Of course the US could add it back with some effort, but that goes for essenti

Human error makes it worse. We can fix technical issues, it is much harder to fix human nature and all the potential human causes for safety violations.

No, they don't. Not unless you want to sabotage your own career. There is a limited set of journals for a specific area of science, and you need to publish in the most reputable journal possible. There is only a very limited choice her

The main question is whether they will allow Firefox, Chrome and Edge to use their own engine or not. The guidelines leave enough room to deny any potential browser engine if they want to, so it depends entirely on how Apple will decide on

I still find it hard to believe that the current Starliner doesn't have the ability to undock automatically without humans on board. The first test flight was able to do that.

Doing this on a few weeks notice seems rather insane to me. Unless you have very good remote work options this is very disruptive for employees.

I think it is possible that someone will make a convincing argument about how CrowdStrike was negligent in testing and rolling out updates. I have no idea whether this will result in significant court wins, but this case does seem a bit dif

Because if you want to cover all possible lasers you'll block out the visible spectrum as well and won't see anything.

I was pretty surprised that they didn't test the hardware in that way even before flying it the first time. It looks like this issue is clearly reproducible on the ground with partial integration, not even the full spacecraft.

The price difference between cheap supermarket coffee and high-end local roaster is large enough (up to 10x) that the potential additional cost for decaffeination doesn't seem that big of a deal if you're looking for coffee at the

If the PC controlling an MRI crashes nothing will happen to the instrument itself. The data might be lost and you can't continue using the MRI until this is fixed, but not more. This would not violate these guidelines.

That would mean that you always need a fully redundant copy of everything based on entirely different OSes and software with no common component. That is obviously not realistic.

It didn't just crash, it crashed 100% of computers running it at that time and in a way that required physical intervention to fix. So I think you can considers this quite different from regular crashes because recovery is much more di
