For academia, all 3 major cloud providers have a data egress waiver - meaning that as long as data egress is less than 15% of the total bill then it is free. Combine this with the fact that S3/Glacier make much more sense than local HD

Can you give an example of how that improvement manifests itself in a bad situation? Intellectually I am already well aware that my frame of mind is often the main issue and that I could simply choose not to be bothered by something - but t

I am introverted, but the pandemic has taught me that I'm not actually suited to a reclusive life. I get far more done when working from home, but need a day in the office every month or so as a "reset", to remind myself that

The other side of this coin is that if you are are forced into actions which you "know" are wrong and just accept it, then maybe the job is already dead for you anyway. By fighting back you are testing a number of stress points, l

Depends on your definition of high performer. If you prize delivering short-term value by chugging through the task pile faster than other people can, then sure this article is not aligned with your ideals. That is not what I would call hig

I don't have the expertise to determine whether it is "abandonware" or simply "done" I'm afraid. Found it a bit of a pain to use, hence why an alternative sounds interesting.

Look forward to it. I'd be interested to hear how your tool compares with Facebook WDT[1], as that would be my go-to right now if someone asked me for a fast point-to-point data transfer solution. [1] https://github.com&#x2F

Interesting, but somewhat misses the point; the reason people want an alternative to Aspera is that no-one wants to pay for file transfer tools.

Do you mean large EU companies are more similar to large US companies, or more similar to small EU companies? I presume the former, which would be a shame but not entirely unexpected since I imagine (in the tech industry at least) there is

By your own argument, foreign companies can navigate the rules for selling into Europe just fine - so what is stopping a European company from doing the same? If there is any remaining problem it is that the rules are not enforced strictly

Think of it this way: by starving the supply of that one bitcoin, you have contributed in some small way to the eventual loss of all bitcoins through similar events - speeding up the rate at which the world can move on from this silly fad

The only appropriate response here is for a corporate owner (Hashicorp preferably) to fork the repo just before the license change and to assert that their version is the default, and drive future development there. The original author is e

I'm unsuccessfully trying to go the other way - but that's because I was never a developer to begin with. Writing code (or even working with computers at all) is not something I ever aspired to. I put this down to the impact Micro

Try it out on a local Linux machine first, if you have one. There are plenty of ML techniques outside of neural networks which train perfectly well on a CPU, so I'd start there. Look at some kind of AutoML framework like AutoGluon, the

My regular M1 MBP is comfortably managing 18 hours of normal use (non-video browser and terminal) or 12ish hours of more intensive use (video and Slack). Sounds like putting the M1 Max in a laptop form factor is a bit of a waste, as I'

That does not match up with my own experience at all. Maybe the service teams are less heavy on LPs due to not being customer-facing?

They are normal-ish questions and I can see where the STAR guidance is better than getting no help at all - I just think the process is too rigid overall. I've interviewed a handful of people for our team in the last year - all had the
