Does anyone know - is it possible to restrict yourself to read-only operations? It's fairly easy to accidentally break something in production environment...

It works both ways as a positive feedback loop.

Yes, Kubernetes (actually its add-ons) provide a virtual network that unifies communication within the cluster so you don't need to care on which computer your service runs.

Oh, you lucky bastards! I could dream of walking to school. We were taking lessons in the snowstorm.

The problem is probably the distinguishing line. When is it a ML model doing something and when is it a human with tools doing the same thing? In other words, to what extent does the color of the bits matter? [1] And does the output of a ML

Wow, that's expensive. An average person's healthcare costs a few thousand dollars per year in EU. That includes people with innate conditions or other expensive treatments. Most of the countries have zero or only nominal out of p

I think that the biggest issue isn't the chemical space but the complexity of biological systems. It's hard to tell what the molecule will do. We just don't have a good enough simulator. AlphaFold is definitely a helpful step

That's a cliff in the benefits and tax system. If you make a tiny bit more, you shouldn't get worse off. UBI could be a solution but has its own drawbacks. Progressive taxation without cliffs is another possible solution. That is,

Some countries export streets, addresses and buildings in a machine readable format. So it could be based on a periodic import, not on image recognition.

Malware shouldn't be able to silently copy the key. Usually you have to touch the device to confirm usage. Even if the malware got your one time password when you thought you confirmed a legitimate operation, the attacker wouldn't

I like the approach of tailoring the app to the use case, so I'm not arguing you should do something differently. The database has commit for exactly this reason. If you lose power, you will not acknowledge the commit to the client, so

I meant it's fine to take calculated risks. E. g. we have less than 1% chance per year that a given person leaves us on bad terms or suffers a bad accident or illness. In case it really happens, it will cost us X in delays and extra wo

On that day, most probably nothing with regards to this task. Then, later, probably someone would check out the scripts from a shared repo. Then, read an outdated README, try it out, swear a bit, check for correctness with someone dependent

For me personally, it's partly familiarity and also still compatibility. I know that if I use jQuery, then (for the parts it covers) I don't have to search caniuse.com. But then, I'm not a front-end web developer, so I optimi

May I ask - what was the reason for creating APE/Cosmopolitan? I read your post about actually portable executable format but I wonder if it's something that you found immediately helpful for some project or if you work on it just

I just saw this tweet - https://twitter.com/JustineTunney/status/1365805503561957376 Cosmopolitan is going to be a big thing.

You can encode it to a shorter string if you use larger alphabet. Still, it's 16 bytes of information, so not as short as sequential IDs. See for example https://pypi.org/project/shortuuid/ >>>

There is always DRBD as well. You can make replication a lower-layer problem. Not that it's without drawbacks.

Fair point. But what would happen? Even if you accidentally opened that site, most probably nobody would have noticed. Or it would have been just a short awkward moment.

I think a good lecture is always followed by a discussion. So the oral culture may be more inviting to the dialogue, even if it specifically doesn't require it. Vice versa, we're now contributing to the literal culture by discussi

I mostly agree. Though you may still develop blind spots and miss a crucial difference in this year's iteration of the same idea.

I love this kind of articles that take a tool I use often but never had enough motivation to figure out what it exactly does. I learn best how something works if I try to re-create it. But there is not enough time to do it for all the thing

I managed a bare metal cluster of 5x 128 GB RAM for a fintech. Using bare metal servers without VM layer is actually a simplification. Cutting out a layer that's not strictly necessary. Test environments were in AWS. There is a load ba

I find zsh mostly compatible (at the level I use shells). When developing scripts, I use the bash shebang, but I'm trying individual parts in my interactive shell. It's quite rare that I need to start bash. Often, zsh works the sa

Yes. And also transactions are interesting because of their explicit nature. Including STM. They lead you to think at least a bit about all the concurrent traffic.
