Baristas are fine as you said but yes starbucks is firing 1 in 10 office workers this year.

The LLMs trained on our work are replacing us while the ppl up top get higher pay, all is right with the world.

There are definitely descriptions of virtuous and non-virtuous results of actions (karma) in Mahayana/Vajrayana Buddhism. A teacher of mine, who spent 20+ years as a Gelug monk, gave a nice talk about it from a Vajrayana perspective [1].

The major innovation in Vajrayana would be an addition to the hierarchy you laid out, which is full Buddhahood in this lifetime and the tantric methods to get there. Nirvana/samsara are considered two perspectives of the same reality [2].

Yes, we found it to be very useful for things that require durability and transactions. Previously we use JuiceFS community edition with Redis as metadata backend. The main issues are 1) potential metadata loss and 2) Memory capacity limit. We tried EloqKV and it seems to work really well. Anybody use EloqKV in production yet?

The report and others are calling this "cache poisoning". That's a misnomer. It is not cache poisoning in the long-standing sense of the phrase. It is very simply equally long-standing simple DNS/UDP brute force response forgery.

* https://github.com/Avunit/Dnsmasq-Cache-Poisoning/blob/main/...

They're also relying upon the random source port being allocated from a subset of the available port range, 32768 to 61000 in their default setting.

The claim in the code is that it is Google Public DNS that is failing to respond to queries where the domain name has had an extra label prepended, and that label is 1 character long and the character is a tilde.

Google Public DNS has no such non-response problems with ~.www.example.com in my part of the world.

However, note that they are injecting the forged responses from the very same machine that sent the initial query to dnsmasq, with no delay whatsoever. Whereas it takes Google Public DNS a second or so to look up ~.www.example.com here. So really there's no methodologically sound evidence that Google Public DNS even has the fault with these punctuation characters as claimed.

Rust was more of a brawl map than the others. Lots of 1v1 fights, but no where close to the playtime of the other two.

If we count the Nuketown map on Call of Duty mobile (mobile has over a billion downloads) I would have to say that's the winner, but if not de_dust2 is the king. Mirage would also be pretty up there.

Indeed.

The problem is, it's also hard to do research into what other users actually do, or what they find useful. Above and beyond the usual pitfalls of trying to get design advice from end users, you don't even know how to find and communicate with everyone. Certainly they don't generally seem aware of the official forum, and weren't aware of the mailing lists it replaced (heck, I didn't know about the forum until years in, having previously tried using the mailing list!), or the many relevant GitHub issue trackers, etc. So the next obvious thing is to try to post solicitations for feedback somewhere else — but where?

>This was never about "protecting children."

I feel like this narrative is counterproductive. Sure, it is true that some people advocating for this are doing it out of ulterior motives, but it certainly isn't true for all of them. Telling the people with legitimate concerns that they don't actually care about children is going to push them into the camp of the people who want to take advantage of their concern. In order to actually prevent the kind of damage that these censorship systems can inflict, there probably needs to be an actual discussion about the problem these systems are ostensibly designed to address.

People have to remember this is a political issue and politics is about coalition building. Insulting large swaths of the general population as being nefarious liars isn't a great way to build coalitions.

I uninstalled it after finding basic terminal functions broken.

I tend to append "clear &&" to commands I run frequently, to clear out output from a previous run. Every other terminal this works like you expect. In Warp, it doesn't. Turns they've hijacked the "clear" command for reasons I don't remember, such that it only works when you run it separately instead of as part a sequence. I only learned this when I went searching for a bug report on that found one that had been opened for a while where they essentially said they had no interest in making this sort of basic stuff work.

How crazy would it be if the final departure from the gold standard in 1971 meant that the average person with little financial or other education just totally lost their most meaningful 1 dimension metric of how much their wage goes up so it became way easier to pull the wool over their eyes.

Not that it was totally accurate before, but the ability to use USD value alone as a measure of your Y/Y wage changes really went off the rails about 50 years ago.

It's not the only factor, of course.

I've dusted off the old form. Here you are:

This advocates a: ( ) technical (*) legislative ( ) market-based ( ) vigilante ...solution to control explicit or controversial content online. It won’t work. Here’s why: Why it fails: (*) Can be bypassed with basic tools (VPNs, mirrors, alt accounts) (*) Users and creators won’t tolerate the restrictions (*) Requires unrealistic global cooperation (*) Censors legitimate content (art, education, etc.) (*) Lawmakers don’t understand the tech they’re regulating (*) Platforms may quietly ignore or undermine it (*) Trolls and bots will weaponize it What you didn’t consider: (*) Jurisdiction conflicts across countries (*) Encrypted and decentralized content sharing (*) Abuse of takedown/reporting systems (*) Privacy and free expression concerns (*) Content filters are always one step behind And finally: (*) Sorry, it just doesn’t work. ( ) This idea causes more harm than good. ( ) You're solving a symptom, not the problem

It has been extremely evident over the past several years that the news coverage and other content from NPR is far from politically neutral. If they can't maintain neutrality, they should not get public funding. I don't see how this is controversial. If they were producing a bunch of right-wing or right-coded content, the author of this article would be rejoicing about it. If their content is valuable to their audience, it should be able to stand on its own. The only thing I am a little bit sad about here is PBS and some of their educational content for kids. Some of that stuff was top-notch. Hopefully this can find some way to also stand on its own.

Dont forget the monetary/banking system in opposition to labor value.

Money is cheap for the rich, which is also a big factor of why stock markets (and compensations) behave like they do. All signs point down, public infrastructure and cost of living struggles under budget pressure while stocks are at an all time high.

Simply saying, its earned compensation doesnt even tell half the story. I consider it deception.
by tolerance | 2025-08-19 18:16:42+00:00
This issue raises one of those odd dynamics where people concerned with the welfare of humanity brush against the people arguing for the longevity of public infrastructure. And against them both are the string-pulling hands who have an advantage if either interest prevails.

Or maybe it’s not that odd and this is a common conflict.

I stand on the side of those indifferent to the material consequences of this censorship on pure moral grounds.

And the funny thing is that there are people who seek to mean well and who find the material trade-off intolerable for their own reasons.

Society as a whole is kept in quite the quagmire by the string of these aforementioned hands, ain’t they?

Looking at CEO pay as the primary reason for inadequate living standards is an egregious mistake and a big pet peeve of mine.

CEO's and companies _create_ wealth. It can be true that by taxing and redistributing you can increase living standards of poor people but it is not at all the case that they are the primary reason other people don't have money.

There are two forces that are somewhat equally important: creating wealth that never existed before and distributing it if necessary to maintain some equitability. The redistribution part is only possible because the wealth was created to be redistributed later.

Creating wealth (which is done by companies and CEO's are a big part of it) is strictly a positive increase - creating wealth doesn't mean you take it from others which is a very common misconception I keep noticing in many places. CEO's paid a lot of money is not money that is taken away from others - it is new money that didn't exist.

Now to be fair this article doesn't say it out loud but I think the vibes are there and many people do believe this.

I don't know, I just can't get fired up about this, I'm sorry. I don't think children have an absolute right to VPNs. There are a ton of things children can't have access to. They don't have full rights as adults, so I feel a bit ambivalent.

As someone with kids I care deeply about the harmful stuff my children will get exposure to. And I'm worried about this as a negative influence, especially to boys, much more than I'm worried about smoking, vaping, drugs, guns, and most other things. This can absolutely wreck your relationships, and it's just not practical to control on a family level. Over 25% of teenagers have ED and it's going up. That can't be good. And for girls it can lead to risky or overall degenerate behavior due to changing expectations and influence.

So many people here pretend like there's no problem.

Better solution that doesn't rely on DNSSEC is use stub resolver that can forward requests on DoH; like unbound or dnsdist.

dnsmasq cannot do this and just forwards UDP to UDP and TCP to TCP. (and doesn't know DoT or DoH)

DoH (and DoT, DNS over TLS) doesn't have this problem, as the whole thing is secured. (Well, this concrete problem might actually be prevented just by using plain old DNS over TCP, but I am not sure about that.)

Oh my god. I haven't finished reading that yet, it became too much to comprehend. Too stressful to take in the scope. The part where he could have put malware into release files of 10s of thousands (or millions?) of open source tools/libraries/software. That could have been a worldwide catastrophe. And who knows what other similar vulnerabilities might still exist elsewhere.

> who have unhealthy ideas about sex and the opposite sex

Yeah, we should go back in time to when good men used to regularly beat up and rape their wife just like god wanted. Where anything not cis and hetero was not tolerated. Where relationships where based on dominance and very seldom on love.

Nope. As sad as that may be, in terms of having healthy ideas about sex, we are probably at the peak since the neolithic revolutions. Times have never been better, especially in progressive Western nations.

For porn to have ruined anything where would need to be something to ruin in the first place. Young men had unhealthy ideas about sex long before porn existed. They probably have a little bit more of a clue now.

Don't get me wrong, I am absolutely willing to entertain the idea that porn and especially over consumption of porn is problematic in many aspects. However it is not a major societal issues. And I absolutely abhor the idea of the state censoring porn to enforce personal and specifically sexual morality. There is good reason civilized countries don't do this.

> just looking up the relevant options

Not the OP, but ffmpeg's documentation is pretty awful to navigate if you aren't an expert in it. It is very technical and exact, but fails to provide examples for most options.

For example, the fpsmax option says you can set the maximum frame rate using "Hz value, fraction or abbreviation." So now the user has to search for how any of these things are to be specified (does a bare 60 mean 60hz? Do you need to include Hz? Is it case sensitive? What are the abbreviations? What is the fraction a fraction of?). And that's a random option I found in the pile of documentation it has.

Maybe it's useful if you use it every day, but I completely understand why people use GUIs whose purpose is to construct the command. Or even LLMs to do the same thing.

How, exactly, can the UK be accused of dismantling the EU in slow motion? All right, they dismantled themselves out of the EU; you could view that as a single step of dismantling. Beyond that, first, what further dismantling has happened or is going to happen, and second, how is that the UK's fault when they aren't in the EU anymore?

Typical reaction from someone who has no clue. Emacs isn’t a “hammer”; it's more like “glue” - you don't have to do everything _with_ Emacs, but it can definitely mediate and delegate specific tasks to more specialized tools - it can give you the sense of doing everything _through_ Emacs.

Why would anyone do that? Because plain text rocks.

> There is no equivalent in any other communication technology for the social, communicative, cognitive and reflective complexity ¹

And there's simply nothing better today than Emacs for dealing with the plain text. Neovim comes close, but still can't match it.

Trump told Americas latinos that he was going to deport them en mass and that got him +20 points shift in latino voting patterns in 4 years.

I think that the way to win in American politics is to tell whatever group who you want to vote for you that you intend to screw them as hard as physically possible.

Americans politics in 2025 can be best summed up with one word: Schadenfreude

> Once visionaries in any organization of any size are gone, the priorities of its members are proportionally dominated over time by simple self-preservation.

This. It’s also nigh impossible for new visionaries to succeed in an organization because of that self-preservation of the existing ruling political class. Visionaries show loyalty to the org, not the people, and that makes them a prime target for harassment and cuts as a result.

Smart orgs keep visionaries in charge, but accountable.

Positive-sum yes, but win-win not so reliably.

Positive-sum doesn't necessarily mean everyone wins. Just that in aggregate things improve.

In fact, for any significant policy change, there will be losers.

And lots of very long term systemic dysfunction, with powerful interests reinforcing that dysfunction, tilting positive returns toward themselves, and negative returns onto others.

I agree with Harry in the linked comments. Especially considering who ran the survey. If the results somehow didn't support the intended conclusion, to support what's mentioned in the last three paragraphs, you would never hear about it.

"In the 2000s, AEI was the most prominent think tank associated with American neoconservatism.[5] Irving Kristol, widely considered to be one of the founding fathers of neoconservatism, was a senior fellow at AEI and the AEI issues an 'Irving Kristol Award' in his honour.[58][59] Paul Ryan has described the AEI as "one of the beachheads of the modern conservative movement"

I'm sure representatives of those countries love to say so, especially when talking to third parties about their expertise in manufacturing: "Yes, here in Zhengzhou, CN we're leaders in electronics manufacturing - the iPhone is assembled here at Foxconn!"

However, Apple (headquartered in the US) loves to issue press releases describing how their products are "Designed by Apple in California[, USA]" even though a lot of work in the manufacturing, the software, and the design of subcomponents (or major components, I don't know how Apple is organized internally) are done in China, India and Vietnam as you listed.

I'd argue that in the same way that Shenzen and Zhengzhou are leaders in electronics assembly because the bulk of the iPhone and other products are built there, regardless of the location of the headquarters of Apple, so to can London claim to be a leader in AI because the researchers for DeepMind are located in London, regardless of who owns the DeepMind brand.

Buying a thing from another country doesn't make your location a leader in that thing.

Without knowing any details, I'm guessing what's happened is the inevitable result that befalls organizations as predicted by Pournelle's Iron Law of Bureaucracy:

Pournelle's Iron Law of Bureaucracy states that in any bureaucratic organization there will be two kinds of people: First, there will be those who are devoted to the goals of the organization. Examples are dedicated classroom teachers in an educational bureaucracy, many of the engineers and launch technicians and scientists at NASA, even some agricultural scientists and advisors in the former Soviet Union collective farming administration. Secondly, there will be those dedicated to the organization itself. Examples are many of the administrators in the education system, many professors of education, many teachers union officials, much of the NASA headquarters staff, etc. The Iron Law states that in every case the second group will gain and keep control of the organization. It will write the rules, and control promotions within the organization.

You act like our democratic instutions keep us in check.

Yes, as you pointed out, not only can bundlers tree shake namespace imports, but they're literally used in the esbuild documentation to demonstrate the concept of tree shaking.

The issue you linked to is referring to the case in which you import a namespace object and then re-export it. Bundlers like webpack and rollup (which vite uses in production) can tree shake this pattern as well, but esbuild struggles with it.

If you're using esbuild instead of this:

import * as someLibrary from "some-library" someLibrary.someFunction() export { someLibrary }

You can still do this:

import * as someLibrary from "some-library" someLibrary.someFunction() export * from "some-library" export { default as someLibraryDefault } from "some-library"

Tree shaking works as expected for downstream packages using esbuild in the second case, which someone else in the linked issue pointed out: https://github.com/evanw/esbuild/issues/1420#issuecomment-96...

If you’re implying that fishing is the main culprit, I’d invite you to do some further reading. These fisheries are carefully managed to ensure that salmon are able to spawn. Granted, there is the existence of trawling boats which do cause real harm. Yet, almost all commercial fishermen detest the practice of bottom trawling due to the harm it causes.

41 millions pounds of sockeye were caught in Bristol Bay this season. I was up there working on a boat myself. Yet, the rivers were still thick with sockeye at the end of the season. It is not a free-for-all where people are allowed to catch fish in any manner they want, the rules and regulations are there to ensure that fishing is not impacting the long-term viability of these runs.

I think you're confusing throughput with latency.

You're right nobody processes a million DOM nodes with XSLT in a browser, but you're wrong about everything else: WASM has a huge startup cost.

Consider applying stylesheet properties: XSLT knows exactly how to lay things out so it can put all of the stylesheet properties directly on the element. Pre-rendered HTML would be huge. CSS is slow. XSLT gets you direct-attach, small-payload, and low-latency display.

Nothing lasts forever, and eventually you have to port, emulate, archive or otherwise deal with very old applications / media. You see this all over the place: physical media, file formats, protocols, retro gaming, etc.

There's a sweet spot between giving people enough time and tools to make a transition while also avoiding having your platform implode into a black hole of accumulated complexity. Neither end of the spectrum is healthy.

Disclaimer: I work on Chrome/Blink and I've also contributed a (very small) number of patches to libxml/libxslt.

It's not just a matter of replacing the libxslt; libxslt integrates quite closely with libxml2. There's a fair amount of glue to bolt libxml2/libxslt on to Blink (and WebKit); I can't speak for Gecko.

Even when there's no work on new XML/XSLT features, there's a passive cost to just having that glue code around since it adds quirks and special cases that otherwise wouldn't exist.

If we're honest, this is exactly what it will take for the bots to evaporate into the void. I have always been against 'having a license to internet', but I am very interested in seeing what will happen to all the bots if it does (temporarily) succeed. No bot should be able to pass an ID check, and if one does, its pure legal fuel to sue the system.

I think that might have been an own goal on that link. The comment on the article sums it up nicely. Also can you trust the data source - a government body that wants to enact more control?

If there's independent studies great, especially world wide (the US can be a bit insular), but as someone in the UK I dont see anything but disdain for ID checking age-gating.

Even other political parties are saying they'll roll it back if they get in power, which if they're betting the farm on that policy, must have considerable public influence.
