I've been using Macbook Pros for a long time. I usually spend 3-4k on them. I recently purchased an 14" Asus ZenBook for $1300 and loaded Omarchy Linux on it. I wanted to have something less expensive and lightweight for traveling. I really like it a lot! I notice that it is a little slower than my Macbook Pro, but the performance completely acceptable for most things.
laptops seem kinda solved now? for every cpu vendor and every os theres now a great option that just, works, so everyone can just use what they like and not be at a disadvantage due to not knowing the latest developements in the space, or due to habitual preference. Good type of boring
Some people get entirely too dogmatic about their “XYZ is wrong, don’t do it!” beliefs. At the time I implemented JWT in our system, many years ago; it was the most straightforward way to solve the problems that I had. I read about the pitfalls and have yet to experience any of them. So in short.. “no regrats” from this heathen.
Isn't JWT's main benefit being a standard interchange format? 3 parts: header, payload containing user info, signature from whatever authenticated the user. Can be encoded for URLs and decoded to JSON. Seems pretty innocent to me.
I maintain a system I created in 2004 (crazy right). Not sure how we lived; but at the time, emojis were not as much of a thing. This has come to bite me several times.
I don't like being negative and I always appreciate open source / free software but..
I tried using it in a small k8s cluster on digital ocean. Initial installation using the recommended helm package was easy enough. However, it only saved a very short period of log data. I spent a fair amount of time searching docs and the web about how to increase the storage, with no luck. Such an obvious and common need should not be so difficult to configure. You should not have to deep dive, reverse engineer, and read source code in order to solve such simple problems.
I recently used this to create a web site design. I wanted to see it without watermarks. Then after the customer approved the design, I purchased the image to use in the implementation of the design.
As a mid-40s marathoner, this is really interesting to me. I don't feel sorry for him; other than that he lived life with an ego condition allowing him to do this. That is sad, but he earned the scrutiny and outing.
Right now, I'm running 50+ miles a week training for a marathon. That is really hard and a major commitment. I won't set any records, but I have a good shot at placing in my age group. I don't run to win anything or achieve a certain place, but I would be somewhat pissed off if some idiot like this cheated and beat me.
I enjoy most of the time that I spend running, but to get to this level, you have to go through a pretty difficult level of training which makes all of your life a lot more stressful during the periods of intense training. Right now, I'm staying in a job that I don't like because the schedule is very flexible and allows me to spend around 15 hours a week training.
As the article pointed out - there was no concrete evidence beyond doubt. The stupidity of the community is to blame: you think someone is cheating and you dead set on proving it? Fine let him run next time and get real evidence. Get a drones up with some friends. Get someone to run next to him.
Anything else is just our human brains looking for patters and finding it even if it’s not there.
The evidence is very concrete if you are vaguely familiar with competitive running. You can't set record times with 33%+ 5k split-to-split variance; if you can set a record time doing that, you could go literally minutes faster with even pacing. The folks at the front are chasing marginal seconds and this guy was leaving minutes on the table and smoking everyone.
So anytime someone thinks something is dubious, their brain is "looking for patters and finding it even if it’s not there". I disagree, sometimes your brain makes connections and often (but not always) those connections are correct. To most dedicated runners (such as the LetsRun group); this case is pretty obvious. The last paragraph of the article reads pretty conclusive of his guilt.
This reminds me of Lance Armstrong. Prior to his outing, I believed Lance Armstrong was innocent of doping. But many serious cyclists told me there was no way he was not doping, and they were right. Expertise is often useful.
This article made me chuckle. It is spot on. I worked at a trip planning startup around 2006 - 2007. A lot of money was burned, fortunately it wasn’t mine!
I’ve used DO for around 8 years and have had mostly great service & experience with them. At the time of switching, we cut our hosting fees from around $1k to under $300. Now we are running on their hosted kubernetes service and it’s working great. They simplify a lot of things and the pricing is pretty straight forward.
I use DO for my personal projects - they've got a perfectly fine API, costs are low, everything works like it says on the tin, most tools work well with DO (terraform, ansible) and they have an interesting documentation culture with lots of tutorials.
I was quite impressed with the migration approach, lead-time on notification of migration and self-service on-your-own-time migration options when being shifted to new servers (which required a cold-migration).
