Sorry if I missed this, but is there an example instance we can play with?

The Google Play app seems to be missing from the store? I get 'app not found'. I'm in Croatia if that makes a difference

Let's say I have about 100k novel-length texts I want to import into a model like this (I want to build a book recommendation system).

How should I approach it? I think this product can't deal with that much text yet?

As a couterpoint, I've never been happier than at my current role where I'm expected to put in 40 hours per week, and not a minute more. Sure I do timesheets, but they cap at 40 hours.

Prior jobs always had the implicit expectation that I could be working a little harder, or clocking off early on a Friday was evil. Now, 40 hours a week can be done any time, and that flexibility is hugely liberating. I honestly think they get more out of me as well.

What would the side effects of lower gun ownership be?

Perhaps not strictly on-topic, but is there any equivalent FS/program in Windows that will allow users to have read-only access to files that are deduplicated in some way?

My use case is the MAME console archives, which are now full of copies of games from different localisations with 99% identical content. 7Z will compress them together and deduplicate, but breaks once the archive exceeds a few gigs.

These archives are already compressed (CHD format, which is 7Z + FLAC for ISOs), but it's deduplication that needs to happen on top of these already compressed files that I'm struggling with.

Sorry for the off-topic ask!

I’d like to understand what tooling people use to govern process flows in these architectures. The concept is strong and totally makes sense, but with so many services running, how do we automatically monitor the metrics of each one? Not just in uptime, but in queue length, output quality, server cost, time taken, etc?

I used to run a TF2 server that ran some stupid hack I found that played shitty music nonstop (GBS.fm) through a widget that loaded on the welcome screen. Lots of people hated it, but everyone kept coming back for how fun the vibe was.

So fun. I miss it too.

In a small enough community, the Boy Who Cried Wolf remains a pertinent tale.

If you had the reputation as a decent and polite poster, the sudden use of a vile cuss, judiciously applied, yielded far greater aggregate results than someone who used them all the time. At the very least, you would save it for someone who really did deserve it.

Perhaps the sanding off of the web’s edges is simply a product of its size. Maybe we should go back to Usenet.

pls help me get online, nerd

Seriouspost: Agree with all that’s been said. Corporations have turned the web into an unpalatable wasteland. The prospect of someone finding out my name and job has taken all the joy out of calling someone a fuckhead online. I want to find it again.

I will start searching, but the good communities I’ve found have been invite only.

Credit is honestly cheap enough that, if you really wanted to invest money that is a liability from the second you earn it, you could.

All other things being equal, if the government earns the money upfront instead of having to wait, tax rates can decrease slightly for the same amount of income. I live in a PAYG country, and given higher rates of tax-default and tax-stress in non-PAYG countries, I prefer PAYG.
