No it’s not. 2 qps is pitiful. If anything $400 is crazy expensive. I guess most of it goes to traffic/storage costs, otherwise they are being ripped off.
According to the blog post half the money goes to their CDN (Cloudflare) which is a good decision. And about $100 for the database hosting.
I don't think they are overpaying for what they are getting. $400 is not a lot for a proper site that serves a lot of bytes. I just don't think it's that impressive either -- it's just yet another website serving static assets through a CDN, with low QPS too, so I don't see why it's noteworthy.
I haven’t built any of those, but I feel like the cookie law is profoundly stupid and I think that it’s fair to punish users for their bad voting choices.
If you want to block third party cookies you have always had a switch there in your browser options.
It’s neither a cookie law, nor about cookies. It’s about tracking and is far more comprehensive. The adtech industry is just engaging in collaborative gaslighting and very successful at it.
Many third parties are now relying on information forwarded to them through first party systems and cookies. This forces sites to isolate those and provide a way of disabling the flow of personal data regardless.
Prob not as much as the pandemic as a whole causing stress and other issues where people are re-evaluating their careers. I can't imagine what it must be like to be a slave to a rich asshole boss who says things like, "Tesla is restarting production today against Alameda County rules. I will be on the line with everyone else. If anyone is arrested, I ask that it only be me."
From what I can tell, I don't think he has any problem finding people. From what I can see after watching teardowns of his products, the best of the best are working on his teams. Maybe the low level grunts are swapped in and out like disposable cogs but the rest of the org? I mean look at what they do compared to the competition. The engineering on their products is truly next level. Their workers are probably sacrificing a ton of their sanity and energy but still stick around.
Regardless of your opinion of musk, this quote doesn't seem especially awful? Like, the obvious evil boss quote here is "get to work". Not "I'm going to be there with you and if there's any problems I'll take the fall personally"
Not really. That would look incredibly bad for the police. That's a highly publicized event with outcomes way above generic officer's pay grade. In particular, we can just look at what actually happened. Nobody went to jail. The county folded and let him do it. Shrug.
Why ask when you can easily find out the answer? I suspect because the answer is "very, very few" and it doesn't fit with a certain narrative.
> Just 5% of unvaccinated workers—and 1% of all workers overall—said they left a job because of a COVID-19 vaccine mandate from their employer, more evidence that a feared exodus of workers due to mandates isn’t as severe as some predicted.[1]
Psychedelic drugs push anyone towards a psychotic state, and really can teach you something about mental illness by giving you a view into their world. But yes it can cause psychotic break, especially LSD but shrooms too.
Funny how intolerable are those "latent" diagnostics for illegal drugs, and meanwhile the totally legal and widely prescribed trazodone (an antidepresant) is known to cause, among others 1) suicidal thoughts, 2) insomnia, 3) hallucinations, 4) and paranoia. Other common drug, bromazepan, turns you into a half zombi, loss of ability to remember and amnesia, hallucinations... And it has a bad widthdrawal.
Of course you have to be careful when taking LSD, psilocybin or whatever. But don't replace info with FUD: just study, legalize and put the info in the box when sold. They are not worse than 95% of widely prescribed drugs. They are illegal just because they are also enjoyable.
What if those strangers were going to attack your friends, neighbors, or elderly parents with every scam and shady advertising/phishing scheme that they could invent?
I can understand requiring consumer based systems to offer x86 emulation like Mac M1s. This is because consumers tend to be less sophisticated, expect their old applications to run like before etc. etc.
This product is squarely positioned as a server product. I don't see the need to have to offer performant x86 emulation like Mac M1 does (you could run QEMU if you wanted though but that's going to slowish).
You have all the major programming languages, HTTP servers, databases, OSes running on ARM Linux. If you're buying an Ampere server it would sure be a waste to expect then to run x86 in emulation!
Hardware with x86 compatibility is only relevant if for some reason you are stuck with x86-only software somewhere in your stack. Or you have specialized hardware that you can't run on another platform for some reason. But I'd argue most new applications aren't dependant on x86: most modern and relevant programming language have production-grade compilers and runtime environments for ARM and increasingly also for RISC-V.
Emulation is possible, and now even easy. Windows has a built-in Windows on ARM (WoA) feature, and Linux can do something similar with QEMU application-based emulation (including stubbing out calls to dynamically linked libraries with calls to native ones).
This is in addition to the fact that a lot of server-based code runs as an interpreted/JIT language, or a bytecode VM like Java or .NET.
Openmw on the other hand is slower than the original engine. I’ve found it to be too slow to be played using integrated graphics cards found in older laptops.
I’m currently playing using mcp + mge xe + dxvk on Windows and it’s basically flawless, it looks better than openmw, and it is also faster.
Yep, I found that OpenMW in large city (Vivec) is barely playable, 3-5 fps at best. That's on GTX 1050 Ti (Windows). Though that may be due to the mods (Fullrest Repack).
Besides aforementioned low fps in Vivec, OpenMW is great. I've completed the main story and almost all side quests in Morrowind and both DLCs without any issues. Unlike original engine which crashed every hour or so, and even corrupted savegames sometimes, OpenMW never crashed and never corrupted any savegame during my playthrough.
