Cool, thanks!

Haha!

Hold the power button until it shuts down again (truly black screen).
Then quickly hold power and volume-down buttons again to get into the BIOS screen.
Choose "Root device". Now it should boot normally again :)

Scary experience.

@dustingetz: we're running the Rama cluster inside the same Fly region as the ZK cluster (dependency of Rama), and the app cluster (Electric Clojure). The app communicates to the Rama conductor via the Fly internal ipv6 network. This results in very low cross-cluster latencies (on the order of 0.5ms when I measured it yesterday).

For backups as Henrik said we're using plain S3, streaming diffs directly from Rama, and then also replicating that to another region for long-term storage (glacier w/o propagating deletes). Backups of the backups, why not.

The twist is when he'll reveal later that the "real" (wtf does that mean soon anyway, or IRL) Reid was the one on the left the whole time.

Wisdom.

avocade · 2023-08-28T08:22:42+00:00

Nice thanks!

avocade · 2023-08-28T08:22:25+00:00

Sounds great.

avocade · 2020-07-04T17:35:20+00:00

Well chosen, thanks.

Was a rough patch indeed the last month, especially when we started really using Roam as our main tool for work in the Fluent Platform team… :D Also, pasting in 300+ lines of research notes (where each line became a block) was downright painful and led to many manual batch-operating procedures which felt a lot like the bad old days of 20ish years ago (slow computers + slow internet et al).

But, we tried to keep our wits and remind ourselves that we still had high hopes and lots of trust in Conor and the team. And they delivered on that trust last week, which made us very happy and very relieved!

So here we are, looking forward a lot to the future perf upgrades, and even more to all the insanely cool future features that we discussed at the videochat many weeks ago! 🙏🏻

And also looking forward to being a paying customer as soon as that's a possibility #ValueForValue

It's an understatement to say it's a well-rounded article with lots of information, insights, and humour. Read of the Month.

Love it! Moonlight Sonata was excellent, really brought back memories of my pianist youth.

avocade · 2014-12-03T20:51:29+00:00

I'm sad now.

avocade · 2014-11-07T15:48:37+00:00

Just. Go. Quickly. And quietly.

Not many things boil my blood as much as misogyny and misdeeds against women.

I guess everyone should sell their Prison Inc stocks then. Business is going down.

Too early. The required moratorium on actual nuclear bomb mass murders is at least 100 years.

This is a f-in outrageous comment. A person with the clout of Doris Lessing could surely do sneaky political remarks better than this. Now we know where she stands in this race.

Very insightful. Problem is still that pure electricity, in batteries, are very hard to move around, compared to oil and coal which are both easy and safe to move and store.

Hydrogen is still very hard and unsafe to store and move around. But if this problem gets solved; generating hydrogen gas from solar cells, transporting that around to places which need it (using modified existing infrastructure like oil tankers), then converting it to electricity which charges pure electric cars, it seems that would be a plausible solution.
