Just about every Presidents’ Day I’ll hear car deals with voice actors pretending to be Clinton or Bush and also on TV people dressed up as Lincoln… so I dunno.

If car salespeople do it, it should be fine. Is that the bar?

>Out of all the celebrities, Bourdain would have viscerally despised this.

I would just like to point out the irony in this comment. You're speaking on behalf of a dead person in objection to someone else speaking on behalf of that person.

We can debate the ethics of this whole thing without trying to lay claim to what Bourdain would have thought.

Parent was not pretending to be said dead person, though.

> I only have so much time left in my life to waste

So does everyone else. Which is why we don’t get PhDs in psychology, but instead use in-group memes to communicate information about each other.

I’ve absolutely been in conversations—in work, politics and play—where we assigned people we knew to characters in a book, movie or TV show we shared. Ignoring this overlooks a fundamental way people communicate.

Thanks, I only skimmed this headline and assumed “secretive” meant groups of developers set up their own AWS/GCP/Azure accounts because they were hitting walls with the company’s IT dept.

That is what I thought the article was about, too.

I always laugh when people end up with designs like this. They could have just used SMTP! It's designed to reliably deliver messages to distributed queues using a loosely-coupled interface while still being extensible. It scales to massive amounts of traffic. It's highly failure-resistant and will retry operations in various scenarios. And it's bi-directional. But it's not "cool" technology or "web-based" so developers won't consider it.

Watch me get downvoted like crazy by all Nodejs developers. Even though they could accomplish exactly what they want with much less code and far less complex systems to maintain.

The very first startup I worked at used this for a sweepstakes leadgen form to send to MySQL via a Perl script running from cron.

What kind of hardware resource would this eat up? Maybe on non-linux where docker isn't as efficient?

There is next to zero extra memory overhead on Linux, as the static parts are shared. Computational overhead is also linear with work, which would mostly be the case regardless.

The other cool thing, to me, is you can keep adding cameras and do not have to replace hardware, just add more.

> Single camera per instance (e.g. One Docker container per camera). One camera per Docker instance? This is going to eat up hardware resources like Fat Albert.
daniellarusso · 4 years ago
How does Fat Albert eat up hardware resources?

Also, don’t you need to know the specs of the individual container instances before determining it will be resource starved on the host?

I have an off-the-shelf CCTV DVR that supports 4k with up to 8 cameras, but it struggles with more than 4.

daniellarusso commented on 'Superager' brains resist the march of time to have memories like 25-year-olds   sciencealert.com/superage... · Posted by u/lnyan
hbogert · 4 years ago
like 25-year olds? Give me my memory which I had when I was 3-8 years old, I can still 'taste' the sunshine through green sunscreens we had in elementary school. The faces of teachers and fellow scholars so vivid.

Anybody else have that experience that once you're 20+, your brain is full and only x-amount of stuff is retained per day. I sometimes don't remember what I had for dinner the day before, but I remember some esoteric option to a one-time used application on the commandline from 2 weeks ago. Scary, because it makes me look ultra-dumb for everyday stuff which I have to do in a normal house-hold.

I kind of think that is your subconscious not needing to put a bunch of effort into ‘storing’ recent meals versus prioritizing ‘memorizing’ tools you have used and how to use them.

I have vivid memories from preschool, but, ask me what happened last week, and I will need to check my bash history. j/k

We have a couple fiber companies in our town (USA), and we have been shopping for internet. Currently we have fiber from AT&T.

One is over a mile down the road and they want $90,000 to connect and then $1750 a month for 1gbps. Another company is two blocks away, they will only charge $8,000 to connect and it’s $1,550 a month for the same speed.

Problem is there aren’t many other companies in the area that want service, so we would end up paying all the buildout costs. The other business are small retail, restaurants and shops that don’t need more than coax (150/20 or whatever for $79/month) from Spectrum.

Is this DIA service or an ISP?
