Heroku makes it effortless to deploy our web apps when we're just getting started, but anyone who's scaled an app on Heroku knows that there are still lots of decisions to make. Topping the list are "which dyno type should I use?" and "how many dynos do I need?"

Do we have aby indication that that's true? They are trying (and apparently succeeded) to sell something that's quite obviously fake. Whatever else they claim should be viewed in the light of that lie.

I recommend Lex Friedman's podcast's episode with Matthew Cox.

amazing

I didn't suggest that the 404 was government advice. I imagine the advice was that they should not publish it in a way that UK readers can see it.

I do think that it should be an honest response (at least a 403).


In Ts & Cs dated May 2024, both StarNow and Backstage (who StarNow own) [0] claim:

Not the usual "in order to provide the service" boilerplate at all.

I imagine they have a valuable data set for AI training?

You can do all that, when you develop without online Editor. In that regard, there is no difference between PlayCanvas, BabylonJS or ThreeJS. You can pick the one you are more familiar with.

Look up making Rochelle's salt, it's relatively straightforward to carry out in a kitchen using essentially the same equipment outlined in this article.

Does anyone else notice that quanta consistently has good illustrations and diagrams for their articles? Good visualizations and graphics can do extraordinary things for the understandability of a topic -- people like 3Blue1Brown understand this, and I'm glad quanta puts effort into it.

What has worked best for me is to disregard d3 attr. Attr made sense a long time ago but now if using a framework it is just so much easier to work with SVG elements directly instead of so many attr just for svg attributes.

You still end up finding a million ways to use the d3 library even if you never use attr at all.


Maybe because that's what they themselves believed?

That is exactly it. A big part of the mental model is understanding the concept of tidy data from Hadley Wickham too.

I could not understand some of the design choices until I understood tidy data and not being much into R, I never ran across the idea previously.

Mike Bostock is so brilliant and has put in such an immense amount of work into d3 that if you even start trying to build your own data visualization javascript library you will end up leveraging d3 at some point as to not reinvent the wheel.


Hey Ryan,

For now I prefer to just stick to Google Authentication as that is really secure and avoids me the "pain" of having to deal with password (which I value a lot).


Products that have search, autocomplete, etc… use rankers that are trained on System Metadata to build the core experience.

Microsoft Teams, Slack, etc… all do the same thing under the hood.

Nobody is pumping the text into an LLM training. The examples make this very clear as well.

Comment section here is divorced from reality.

Hey everyone!

My name is Francesco and I decided to create Leader Menu to help restaurant owners create their own digital menu easily and in a timely manner.

As I mentioned in the post, feedback would be much much appreciated.

Thank you for your time!


I hadn't seen this before. Will definitely try it. Knowing in advance that it might not work out.

Interesting; will this change propagate to Linux? I don't know how intertwined OpenBSD and Linux' OpenSSHes are.

Some progress in Europe yes but the harms are still far from getting enough attention and policy responses. One problem is that there's so little organized effort against noise pollution, there's need for a movement with grass root organizations that puts sustained pressure on this issue.

Thanks for bringing this online! Must have been a lot of work and passion.

Wish: try and bring it close to the original feel of APL and see how you like a subtle css change:

a.internal { text-transformation: lowercase; font-variant: small-caps; background-color: none; }

a { // color: omit // font-weight: omit }

Give it a try, please.

Maybe make it configurable per user?


I'd love for everyone to try it and let me know what you think! Any feedback is much appreciated.

Super interesting, thanks! I'll have to keep thinking about it.

But does this fix their image related tracker problem knocking out firefox?

Can we organize some sort of boycott somehow somewhere? Something in court possible?

This is not just some analytics data or email names, this is potential leakage of secrets and private conversations for thousands of companies and millions of individuals.

Ridiculous.


any paywall help out there?

If I'm not mistaken, the largest podcast app in China is also made by this company.

The article seems to mix storage capacity and instantaneous power. Lithium batteries tend to be able to discharge their stored energy in perhaps 1 to 4 hours (for instance the Tesla Megapack is between 2 and 3 hours to discharge).

Yes batteries are great at flattening the evening peak, when prices presumably spike upwards. That appears to be a good use-case, cycled once a day. Eyeballing the second graph there appears to be around 25 GWh of storage participating on that day, which makes is last equal in terms of energy delivered grouped by type (excepting coal which does not appear to have a line on the graph despite being on the key).

Most interesting is the large amount of imports.


Dynamic data type is a data type format option by which we can show the values generated by the measure into two or more different data types dynamically.
