True, but a rounding error compared to the HashiCorp bill...

Otelbin [0] has helped me quite a bit in configuring and making sense of it, and getting stuff done.
- "zerg" cheap mass produced unit approach is superior to "protoss" expensive but few units
- if you have expensive kit, better hide it in a drone/mid range rocket proof shelter
- pilots are a bottlneck resource in a peer war
- "jack of all trades" systems are inferior to "do one job well" systems
1- Is there an option to run your own "kraftcloud" in your own cloud account?
2- How does this compare to companies leveraging eBPF to squeeze more performance from the Kernel?
On the repo roadmap section I am seeing RAG support coming up, this would be extra nice for my use case. Any ETA?
- team are scientists from the Wendelsten 7-X stellarator plasma physics experiement
- want to innovate on the two most impactful learnings from the experiment towards commercial fusion power, namely
- using high temperatur superconductors in these weird shaped magnetic coils
- 3D printing the water cooling vessels for the divertorNext stop in research: divertor design. Right now the divertor is still a challenge, as it heats up too much when the plasma gets hotter. You can see it in the video, the area that gets really bright in IR.
After the divertor is figured out, the blanket comes next. Neutron embrittlement of the structure is another issue. So power generation is still way out there.
Still, a great day for plasma physicists over the world. Decades of hard work went into this. Congrats!
Not so. Your hello world in C be just fine. Only if you track data of users that happen to live in the EU. Don't track and you absolutely will not violate GDPR.
Discord broke the law in France and gets fined according the the laws in France.
The flagged issues could have been easily avoided by having a proper GDPR trained lawyer review the service and suggest changes.
I like it when there is more competition. It forces Retool, Appsmith, etc to up their game and not become complacent. One of them may have a couple of extrea feature here or there right now, but 12-18 months from now the current tech lead will become a wash and the race is on.
The big price in this space probably is the great unbundling of enterprise software, i.e. taking a bite out of Oracle, SAP. I attended a top 100 customers event at SAP once, you'd be shocked at the amount of despreration (from massive global 500 companies) to get SAP to implemented the stuff they urgently need. Apparently it takes multiple years on average...
Is competition not supposed to drive down the bargaining power of the investment banks in terms of fees and IPO discount? Apparently not.
Are institutional investors who are part of the 30x oversubscribed and not getting allocations not really upset with this process as well? Why would they not want to pay a higher price and benefit from a smaller IPO "pop" than the 30% build in the system?
There is probably a massive business opportunity to get IPO investors and IPO'ing companies connected in a much more structured and technology based way.
> The narrower a typeface gets, the less legible it becomes. We do also know that we have long words in Austria, like “Gumpersdorfer Straße” in Vienna – so now they only use the compressed version, even for short words, because it’s easier for them. Then I get blamed because it’s not legible, but that is not my fault. Maybe it is because I should have said no. When you’re supposed to work for a bad company, like weapons or tobacco, the argument is: “If I don’t do it, somebody else will, so I might as well do it.” If I wouldn’t have done the compressed version, somebody else would have done it, maybe even worse.
> “Shit, Spiekermann, you are right – you make us look better!” – that was my big lesson here: You make them look better, that is your job. We have the skill of showing them, not just complaining about things that don’t work.

Unsupported browser is a bit of a joke anyways in times of modern web standards...
Wanna be in control of "your" blog? Run your own software on your own server. Ghost, Gatsby, etc. to the rescue.
(a) orbits the sun, (b) has sufficient mass to be round, or nearly round, (c) is not a satellite (moon) of another object, and (d) has removed debris and small objects from the area around its orbit
The dwarf "planets" often suffer from not being round (enough), and even more from not clearing out their debris in their orbit.
Cleaning this up is probably a similar challenge compared the Hanford plutonium reprocessing plant in the US. I hope they do a much better job this time around.
Note that Wendelstein 7x will never operate to produce actual fission with DT fuel, because that is (a) outside its mission goal, which is to research plasma behaviour at conditions close to what is needed in a power plant and (b) dealing with the neutron bombarding creates all sorts of complexities in terms of the blanket. Not really solved here as well, as Wendelstein 7x is a nightmare to disassemble and upgrade. For a power plant maintenance and serviceability needs to be build into the design. And (c) they don't have the government permission to deal with nuclear material and nuclear waste.
So no, we are not 20% there. But we have proven that (a) the Stellarator actually has wings, and (b) plasma physics so far behaves mostly as predicted. Especially the latter is something to be celebrated, because plasma is nasty in terms of physical properties, really complex to model, etc.

My 2 cents:
Private equity is a key winner of the ever increased "cost" of going public. Enron, Worldcom and other scandals made the legal pendulum swing hard in investor protection. Quarterly calls, getting hounded by analysts, making the number, lawsuits, short sellers... live is tough for a public company CEO.
As a result, private equity has grown so much, displacing the public markets. With this outsized footprints, it is only natural that returns zone in on the market returns.
When e.g. you look how aggressively Google is trying to switch me to Chrome from my Firefox on all of their properties, a new low was set. But from my insider buddies at Google, that strategy is working well.
This here from MSFT dials it up another notch. With the anti-trust cases in the EU, they probably will be able to geo target this feature so that from the EU all will be fine and dandy, but the rest of the world will get scared into switching to Edge.

The key challenge to diesel engines is that the combustion is essentially a chemical reaction in vastly different thermal conditions depending on the outside temperature. Every engine has a "sweetspot" thermal range where they are really efficient in burning diesel fuel and washing out NOX from the exhaust fumes. Once you're outside that sweetspot, there is little you can do.
