This seems sound for one off transactions, but I'd be interested in how to make this work with subscriptions, assuming you don't want to take the PCI burden of holding the raw card details - is it a case of asking all your custome

This seems odd, there is still a human authoring the images through the use of prompts etc. How does this differ from using a paint brush?

That's true, although you should be draining them to remove water frequently enough (just to keep it in good health) that I wouldn't have thought it'd make much of a difference

That actually looks great - I could definitely make use of scaling based on message queue depths as well. Will have to look into it further, thanks!

I generally favour podcasts over audio books, but generally whether I read or listen on my commute is determined by whether I got a seat on the train - can be difficult to read standing up on a crowded train

> How do you determine it's time to scale? This part is still really hard for a lot of workloads. We have some applications that have a really long startup time (5-10minutes) and also have on the whole predicable traffic patterns. I

This is really the crux of the issue, if you gotta go you gotta go. Sure you will try to find a suitable place but eventually you get to make a decision between your pants and whatever is around (and hence the need for high enough density o

When I was in the states I found that a lot of places would have locks / codes on the bathrooms that required you to purchase something prior to using it. Not fun when you're desperate to go and there's a big queue. The Europ

During COVID I had a digital gp appointment. It was specifically about some skin issues which is obviously difficult to communicate over a phone call. They required me to send them photos to the receptionist over plain email - I complied be

I recently discovered this tool https://www.ventoy.net/en/index.html and really like it. Essentially you just copy your iso files to the usb, and then on boot it gives you a menu to choose between them.

I spent a few weeks in Japan and it was the safest I've probably ever felt. Interestingly though there was one night I went out and my friend living in that city was glad I didn't get harassed for being gaijin - apparently the are

I was a big fan of modded playstation portables back in the day, to do it you would take a particular model of battery and remove one terminal or something similar which would activate a debug mode that let you flash it. They fixed that wit

I've found the value I get is more in the exposure to ideas or projects I hadn't otherwise heard about, and a jumping off point to learn more. For example I first heard about wireguard at a conference talk

I've been very happy with my Dell XPS 15 - 5 years old and still going strong albeit with reduced battery performance. Great Linux support and a nice screen. Will probably upgrade in the next year or two primarily because replacing the

Kinda a side note, but I found it interesting that this approach has been used in NZ for regenerating native plants. Essentially gorse (a pest introduced during European settlement) is used as a shield while the native plants are too young

Ibkr gives me close to real time data for about $6 a month - I've not read the fine print closely but I'd be shocked if it is 15min stale. It's localized to certain exchanges but covers most bases. Ultimately any retail inves

One big advantage of typescript with respect to the configuration options is that you can look at the output js and see what the options are producing (with a low barrier to entry - the output is easily readable js aside from some of the ol

It sounds like they are using a combination of device fingerprinting and ip addresses. Will be interesting to see how many people get false positives from VPN's or just having their ip addresses cycled > Make sure that the device is

As a kid first learning about programming flash was amazing. The ability to draw or sequence sprites together into animations and then easily stitch those together into simple games is really powerful. I'm not saying that we should bri

I'd be interested in some companion material to evaluate the cost/benefit tradeoff here. My gut says that single user machines it doesn't matter so much, however these same machines probably run a lot of untrusted JavaScript
