Indeed, in a cloud datacenter you just mark a given server as having failed and once a large enough number has, a work order is generated to replace them in a batch.

Amazon’s datacenter list leaked a while back, it’s a lot larger than you’d think and it was also very interesting how many of them are marked as totally unmanned.

I find the perspective of this photo really strange, like you’re levitating and standing on a wall in a 1970s house with an air conditioner on the ceiling.

You should exercise but you don’t have to do it at a gym. The weather is lovely right now (depending on where you live), go run around a park. You can do free yoga classes at home.

Exercise doesn’t need to be expensive if you can’t or don’t want to pay for it. I got a lot of mileage out of running around a park and throwing Olympic rings over a tree to do bodyweight exercises.

Nowadays I love the gym though, I go several times a week and use stuff I just don’t have space for or can’t afford.

I especially like the idea some sadist is serving JSON with left and right double quotation marks from Unicode. It’s the next level up from an api I used where no results was a null, one result was a single object on its own, and multiple results was an array of objects.

Update: I assembled the stack, went in, fragged out. It’s got some stupid OP modifiers and there’s probably a meta to counter them, but it didn’t matter- the short rounds and short games meant even if you’re getting stomped it doesn’t hurt too much (looking at you, counterstrike).

Definitely playing this one again.

Looks legit, I missed this one. I’ll try assembling a 5 stack of my friends to play (difficulty: nightmare)

Does anything happen to the reported player as the result of a report? I’d imagine if a report is found to be false, reports from that player are deprioritised, but I don’t think you would punish them because they could just be mistaken.

If you watch high level counterstrike for example, you could be forgiven for thinking some of these players are cheating (despite playing on LAN in an arena) because their aim, prediction and game sense is just that good.

1400 is still better than most players - only 20% make it to 1200 (source: Daniel Radcliffe impersonator on YouTube).

I’ve wondered what google’s position is here, because they probably came under the same pressure. It would be depressing but predictable if they just did as they were told.

I expect he will be denied bail if they can show the evidence against him is strong enough. Even if you have enough money, that’s just not a guarantee. They don’t set the bail at $50mn or something, it’s just not an option offered.

The boring but probably correct answer is he never breathes free air again, and his best case scenario is avoiding the death penalty.

What makes signal unsuitable? That’ll help spark some ideas.

You mean to say we didn’t have these already? I just assumed we did honestly. Were we just buying time from commercial vendors?

It’s preposterous but when it (hopefully) gets thrown out it’ll set a precedent that’ll defang these arbitration clauses in some way.

I guess I’m late to reading about this. As a 19 year old, he met a British 12 year old online, plied them with alcohol, raped them, pled guilty, and was punished for this.

What’s interesting is he was convicted in Britain, and then was sent to serve his sentence in the Netherlands. When he arrived, his sentence was reduced and the crime was changed because Dutch law didn’t recognise his crime as rape if force or violence wasn’t involved (they changed that this year).

Despite that I’m still astonished he was even considered to represent his country in this way. Even though the law and rules allowed it, surely common sense wouldn’t.

It’s still an emerging technology so it makes sense that many of the early adopters are IT nerds. Early Reddit was the same- the most active communities were IT, programming or video game related. More diversity will appear in time.

My son is teething so it was a loud and not at all relaxing weekend. When we were able to convince him to sleep though it was great, caught up with the Olympics and caught up with some sleep. Such is the glamorous life of a new parent.

I don’t know what happened but in the last half hour the website has become highly responsive again. Thank you admins for your hard work.
