So what your saying is your problem would have been solved if you just increased the number...

The exact settings for those params is always more

Yeah, I think that is why I see less venmo/cashapp in Canada.

Most(maybe all?) banks offer interact e-transfers and you can can send it to an email or phone number and be done.

You are not looking at it from the right perspective.

Microsoft the company(and shareholders) gives absolutely no shit about it but there is someone somewhere in the org who has that app and its earnings in their yearly priorities and that person and perhaps the people who work for them do in fact care.

Sure, but you list of things there describes a work flow that is becoming a bit old.

I would wager the vast majority of Nginx "installs" are running in a container now a days.

The distro doesnt matter and few are provisioning an instance of anything, that's some container orchestration job.

Last week trying to coax nginx to be able to set a CSP nonce in a web apps index.html which apparently meant I would need to custom build Nginx or a custom build a container with a custom built Nginx to install a plug-in to do it. This type of stuff adds up and having a bunch of stuff hidden in Nginx Plus doesn't help either.

I think Nginx is a great piece of software its just that people don't need all its offerings, they just want to host some tiny js and proxy to an API and things like caddy were built for that. The limited throughput doesnt matter when CloudFlare or Cloud front cache most of the things it is serving anyway.

Also the lack of 20 years of optimization where it spent a lot of time as one of the larger open source web servers and so got a lot of attention.

In 2024 people are more likely to turn the cloud knob up to pay for throughput (if they need it) and save on dev time with the comparably better dev ex that caddy offers.

I would assume the bandage wrapping would produce a similar environment to the duct tape cure, just a bit more enforced and extreme.

Is "I was just following orders" a viable defense here?

In this case I would assume it is from someone who has never looked at an actual slide or slide projector or knows that the software terminology is rooted in things that came before it.

Many many people use Copilot / ChatGPT in place of stack overflow for all the obvious reasons.

Yeah, k3s doesn't buy 2 routers, 2 switches, 2 PDUs, 2 firewalls, 2 proxies to sit in front of k3s, 2 internet connections (if those are offered) etc etc the list goes on. Not to mention that HA things like to come in 3s.

Then if you are going to have remember that cloud networking is pretty beefy and if you want k3s to do distributed storage you will need some pretty beefy network hardware.

There are a lot of things hidden in the cloud costs that people forget about.

The one thing running your own stuff does allow you to do is make choices and trade offs. If this switch goes down and we have 6 hours of downtime to replace it what is that worth etc.

It is really the second one. The minute you want a second site or even HA at a single site the complexity and costs start to explode.

Rust has rand in a separate crate which felt weird at first but makes sense for reasons like this thread.

> Are you saying mcdonalds gets a free pass on price increases (on which they at least partially blame on rising wages), because they have employees rather than contractors?

McDonalds follows labour laws (whether you think they are fair is immaterial) so they are not in the news with quotes like

"As we have repeatedly make clear in recent months, the ill-conceived, extreme minimum pay rate for food delivery workers in New York City will have significant consequences for everyone who uses our platform"

or

"“Merchants may experience significant declines in order volume as well as negative impacts to service,” the aggregator said in its announcement."

whenever they are forced to follow a new labour law.

> As the consumer, shouldn't I be equally angry if mcdonalds is jacking up prices to pump their profits under the guise of "higher labor costs"?

This post is about worker wages remaining the same (according to their analysis) while DoorDash is out in public claiming the price increase is because of labour laws.

> Sure, there's plenty of reasons to hate on companies using gig labor, but hating on them for price increases specifically seems closer to bitch eating cracker syndrome[1] than any sort of rational analysis.

They are being "hated" on (in this instance) because they are out in the media saying "we had to raise prices because the labour laws are making us pay more" and this post is saying "you do not seem to be raising the wages, so despite what you say there must be another reason".

> Who is out there telling McDonalds to keep their prices down because the gross margin on post mix soda is 98%?

McDonalds generally has "employees" in the jurisdictions they operate in and thus should be following all the local laws that come with that term. The gig economy companies have a long public history of skirting labour laws.

So when they say "DoorDash has claimed that the new fees they’re charging are a necessary result of raising pay for workers" (according to this page anyway) they invite this type of analysis.

Who regulates 3rd party cookies (aside from Warren G)?

Having discussions about what is "AI" without first defining it explicitly is usually a fruitless effort.

Eventually someone will claim the goal posts are being moved and they will probably be right because there were never any to start with.

Linux desktops will never be for normies because desktops are not for normies and are dwarfed by mobile devices and have been for a while now.

Many, Many people use only mobile devices and the ones under 40 who still have computers have them for work.

This is letting the perfect be the enemy of the good.

Sure an apple or a squash is hard to track, but a large (probably a majority) of a modern grocery stores selection is prepackaged goods.

It it is a lot easier to run a veggienet or whatever on a small subset of the goods purchased.

It is end to end encrypted but facebook controls both ends so... ?

I have been burned before when a query on a newer db version was "optimized" in a different way that caused performance to drop but I have not yet had a query on the same version vary so drastically as to cause a problem.

Is this a more common occurrence that I just have not encountered before?

Same.

The tech is interesting but I am still waiting for the software to show me something that doesn't feel like a gimmick.

I find it has more to do with people (myself included) who interact with git at a PR/MR level.

If your PRs are small and you interact with git a lot using some web portal it sort of pushes you this way.

Still seem to offer ampere based vcpus

> people underestimate how much of a quality of life improvement these are for people even when compared to Uber/Lyft

I do underestimate it. What are quality of life improvements? Seems to be the same thing from a customer perspective.

I guess if you are concerned for your safety from the uber driver it is an improvement but it is the only one that comes to mind.

I like the frozen ones because is means I always have an emergency veg when I am out of fresh stuff.

I microwave the frozen ones and fry in a cast iron till a they are a little burnt on the outside.

Can, but doesn't.

I can't remember the last time google actually returned no results.

It is an Smart-UPS 2200 manufactured 10/16/01

The batteries are definitely worth more than the unit is at this point.

A backup generator for me is not an option but this is mostly just to keep internet and a couple machines going in the event of a power failure. One day maybe the used lithium ion one will pop up and I will swap it out.

I have automatic1111 working on my 7900xtx and it does alright.

Took some finagling to get it working with ROCM 6 and the newest pytorch which I couldnt seem to coax invoke or comfy to do
