> you actually need to get a service ticket (TGS)

If we're being pedantic, TGS ("ticket granting server") is the service you get service tickets from. Service tickets are (occasionally) abbreviated ST, as you'd expect. The TGS is a logical part of the KDC, distinguished from the AS which grants TGTs.

It was so long ago that it would be buried deep under the ocean and we haven’t even explored well the ocean floor. And fossils wouldn’t really tell you whether there was one origin or another.

And you’re right, assuming those fossils even managed to survive in the first place and not get destroyed. And that’s ignoring that early life would have been microscopic and we wouldn’t really see fossils of that.

One of the most popular arguments in favor of the necessity of the second amendment as an individual (not collective) right is precisely so ordinary people can engage in political violence.

The current president even suggested doing so was ok, in his first campaign, naming the amendment in the process. (Anyone who was paying attention at the time and noticed this didn’t immediately end his campaign like it definitely would have in any prior election in living memory, should have been able to guess we were about to have a spike in political violence)

There’s no “defense of liberty” justification for the individual right to bear arms that isn’t also saying “political violence is sometimes necessary”.

(I happen to think that justification’s silly, personally—I’m not endorsing it)

> It used to be you'd go to meetings/gatherings of like minded people to get hopped up and your engines revved up like that

I would go so far as to say going to meetings physically was also a counterbalance.

When you're around other people, even ones who share your beliefs, and say 'I think we should murder that guy!' then in most crowds someone is going to say 'Hey fellow, are you okay?'

It's when you exclusively socially exist in online spaces that the most extreme actions suddenly become encouraged.

Or as Josh Johnson recently quipped, "The internet is all gas no brakes."

> Charlie Kirk was never involved in real debate.

This is untrue. You may have seen some of the many "own the libs" style edits of him out there, some of which he/his team created and promoted. But to say he never participated in real debate shows you haven't adequately found information outside your filter bubble. There are many examples like the one below

(Opinions are my own, not of my employer)

I think that "under review" claim is doing some very heavy lifting, especially when it relates to their changes to index tuple lifecycle management. The patches that have been submitted are unlikely to get committed in full anytime soon, even after substantial changes to the patches' designs.

PostgreSQL just has not been designed for what OrioleDB is doing, and forcing OrioleDB's designs into PostgreSQL upstream would a lot of (very) sharp edges that the community can't properly test without at least a baseline implementation - which critically hasn't been submitted to upstream. Examples of these sharp edges are varsized TIDs, MVCC-owning indexes, and table AM signalled index inserts.

There are certainly ideas in OrioleDB's designs that PostgreSQL can benefit from (retail index tuple deletion! self-clustering tables!), but these will need careful consideration in how this can be brought into the project without duplicating implementations at nearly every level. A wholesale graft of a downstream fork and then hoping it'll work out well enough is just not how the PostgreSQL project works.

You need to read the text more carefully -- the license terminates for any litigation against Supabase at all. Hypothetically, a former employee of Supabase suing them for some employee rights violation would no longer be allowed to use the software, which is not the case for any other OSI-approved license with patent shields.

The MS-PL has the fairly standard reactive patent shield that only activates for patent-related litigation for the specific software under the license and is kind of similar to the language in Apache 2.0, MPLv2, and GPLv3.

But they have now switched to Apache 2.0, so crisis averted.

Cellphones is true, but it's mostly just another symptom of the disruptive kids.

The ones trying to do their best, who are not rude and inconsiderate of others, are usually quietly paying attention regardless of whether or not they have a phone with them. The disruptive ones are going to cause other ways to play up even if they could not have their phones with them.

> There’s an insane separation of wealth and you don’t see that as a/the problem? I’m serious with these questions.

I don't doubt it, but the main person quoted in the article is sitting on like $20 million to $30 million of cultivated land and $??? of additional land (Could be hundreds of thousands, could be another 8 figures).

To the extent there is a separation of wealth problem, it's not at all clear where that person is in the separation. Maybe they debt financed the whole thing plus equipment under ZIRP with a non-fixed interest loan, and are now staring down the barrel of $1M-$2M annual interest payments, with very little capital of their own. Maybe they have a total net worth of $10M+ even if they had to sell, and are actually fine if they just quit the game right now. I dunno.

At least for the model 3 the front the door releases are more prominent than the actual buttons your supposed to use - newbies often use that the first time they exit.

But the back doors are a different story. For a few years into owning the car I didn't think they had an emergency release at all. Now I know they are hidden in the door molding somewhere but I doubt I'd be able to find them in an emergency let alone a guest that's in the back seat. It does worry me when I have people back there.

I agree that civil debate and cooler heads deterred and delayed fascism in many cases. I was referring specifically to when it has taken hold and needs to be stopped.

An apt comparison would be instituting mandatory cybersecurity training for employees as a direct response to a breach. That is a great step to take post-cleanup but does basically nothing to address the issue at hand.

Call me crazy, and maybe I'm just out of touch, but something seems... off with the reaction to this. The amount of people on reddit that I'm seeing gloating, openly celebrating this, it's really just something I have never seen before. Not even the Trump assassination attempt had this kind of reaction.

All I'm saying, is that if I was a US adversary, I would absolutely be spinning up a million LLMs to post the most provocative possible stuff. The technology absolutely exists - just yesterday sama@ was talking about the dead internet theory. I'm worried that someone is going to see that horrifying video of the shooting, and then see all these horrifying comments online, and do something equally horrifying.

Are "publication metrics" also used heavily in China by the bureaucracy ?

I know for a fact that the number of fake-journals exploded once the Govt. of India decided to use this for promotions.

It's a bit sad really: in the classical world both these countries spent inordinate amount of time on the questions of epistemology (India esp.). Now reduced to mimicking some silly thing that vaguely tracks knowledge-production even in the best case in the West.

I use SERIALIZABLE on a database for which I have very low writer concurrency (I can count the total writer connections on 1-2 hands) and where I really, really, really don’t want to deal with the fallout if a transaction commits and results in an impossible state.

I use MySQL, not Postgres, for this application (for better or for worse), and I can absolutely generate a bad state if I drop MySQL to a level below SERIALIZABLE — I’ve tried it. (Yes, I could probably avoid this with SELECT FOR UPDATE, but I don’t trust MySQL enough and I get adequate performance with SERIALIZABLE.)

To make SERIALIZABLE work well, I wrap all the transactions in retry loops, and I deal with MySQL’s obnoxious reporting of which errors are worthy of retries.

(Aside from bad committed states, I’ve also seen MySQL return results from a single straightforward query that cannot correspond to any state of the table. It was something like selecting MIN, MAX and COUNT(*) from a table and getting min and max differing and count = 1. It’s been a while — I could be remembering wrong.)

That would be a great world if that vision could materialize. But as long as people continue polarizing society, exploiting emotions, and using divide and conquer[1] tactics to gain political power, not much will change, and things may even get worse. Social networks have amplified this dynamic more than ever before.

> Has this always been an issue in academia, or is this an increasing or new phenomenon?

The introduction of this article [1] gives an insight on the metric used in the Middle Ages. Essentially, to keep his position in a university, a researcher could win public debates by solving problems nobody else could solve. This led researchers to keep their work secret. Some researchers even got angry about having their work published, even with proper credit.

I re-read the text again and it's even worse than the Facebook one -- the entire license terminates in reaction to any litigation, not just patent litigation. Hypothetically, a former employee suing Supabase for violation of workers' rights would not be allowed to use the software anymore.

Essentially: you advance a claim that you hope will be interpreted by the audience in a "wide" way (avoid = eliminate) even though this could be difficult to defend. On the rare occasions some would call you on it, the claim is such it allows you to retreat to an interpretation that is more easily defensible ("with the word 'avoid' I only meant it reduces the risk, not eliminates").

I like it. I always want to run things in a terminal. Because 1. I used to think that's more secure than X 2. I always seem to get better audio of the videos that I run in tty and my mouse is much smoother in the tty. Yes I can move mouse in tty.

Also someone mentioned a cool project like carbonyl. They also mentioned brow.sh which I have heard but they described it in detail so that's another plus when term.everything kind of projects come they drag other cool projects to he foreground

Point 1 of mine may be pure superstition.

How term.everything works on tty I don't know maybe it will be horriblebecause of the resolution thing but still it's a nice direction.

>>> Everybody loves public transit until they get panhandled for the jillionth time

>People love driving until they're stuck in traffic, or their kid dies in a fiery car crash after being ran into by a drunk driver, or they get a flat tire, or can't afford their monthly car payment.

The relative rates of these things are very, very different (as are the harms).

In my time in academia (~20 years) I have seen the demands and competition increase quite significantly, however talking to older researchers the this really started in the 90s the demands to demonstrate measurable outcomes increased dramatically and funding moved to be primarily through competitive grants (compared to significant base funding for researchers previously). The issue is that while previously it was common for academics to have funding for 1-2 PhD students to look into new research areas, now many researchers are required to bring in competitive grants for even covering part of their salary.

What that means is that researchers become much more risk averse, and and stay in their research area even if they believe it is not the most interesting/imapactfull. You just can't afford to not publish for several years, to e.g. investigate a novel research direction, because without the publications it becomes much much harder to secure funding in the future.

I've never really had any of the issues that is mentioned in the bullet points. I use the Atlassian post on storing dotfiles [1] for several years now.

* It's easy to setup on a new machine, no creating symlinks on every setup

* I create separate branches for different machines/environments. Like, currently, I have a branch for macos and my master branch is for devcontainer, but I have had a linux branch too.

I copied the post to a markdown as a README in the repository in the off chance Atlassian deletes the post for some reason.

Most recently, I started moving any config files I could into the .config to keep the home directory clean. i.e. .config/git .config/fish and .config/zsh

I’ll throw my hat in on another comment on this thread - my last wasn’t well received but ask you take it honestly.

Circa 2017 during then “punching Nazis” era of social discourse, I started a new job. The first week in I went for lunch with a Junior teammate and was told “violence against ‘Nazis’” is fine, it’s justified. I asked how. I was told, my brain is a part of the body, so if someone says something so stupid that it ‘hurts the brain,’ the speech is now assault, so counter-violence is justified.

I, with hint of irony, told my new coworker that was the stupidest thing I’d ever heard and asked if I should now assault them for hurting my brain… and was met with hostility.

I don’t quite known I’m going with this exactly, but I feel folks are not giving the world around them an honest assessment, no matter their Ivy diploma. Politics isn’t a “gotcha game” and please stop tying to make it such.

Tangentially related, read the books by the winners of most recent Nobel Prize in Economics, The Narrow Corridor and Why Nations Fail, and both filled to brim with essentially anecdotal examples with post hoc theories to argue with pop economics/historians like Germs Gun Steel author and others convincingly but essentially no actionable items to suggest changes for better outcomes except generalities. Piketty's Capital Ideology is similar in content but in conclusion he makes note of changes that would improve things, very hard changes to make but notes these systemic changes are needed to fix things with a democracy.

He got smoked at the UK Cambridge Union student debate club ("the oldest debating society in the world, as well as the largest student society in Cambridge.").

Bad faith arguments and cheap rhetorical trickery didn't wash.

The only excerpts from those debates on the Charlie Kirk channel are edited to show him in a good light - the original full videos tell a different tale.

> Is there a real difference?

The main differences are related to packages. The package format (.deb, .rpm, etc), the package manager (dpkg/apt, pacman, dnf, etc), how frequently the packages are updated, if they focus on stability or new features, etc.

New Linux users that are used to Windows or Mac sometimes dislike a distro and like other, but actually what they really disliked what the desktop environment. For example, Kubuntu uses KDE Plasma as its desktop environment and its user experience are almost the same as Fedora KDE, Manjaro KDE, OpenSuSE and so on, while it's very different to the default Ubuntu (that uses GNOME). But, under the hood, Ubuntu and Kubuntu are the same (you can even uninstall KDE and install GNOME).

Actually, other Unix-based systems can install the same desktop environments that we have on Linux, so, if you have a FreeBSD with KDE you won't even notice the difference to Kubuntu at first, even though it's a completely different operating system.

tl;dr: there's a real difference, but from a user perspective it's mostly under the hood, not exactly in usability.

Part of the reason for this is that the world has become deeply multi-cultural and self-aware and, as such, people in the art field—the people who educated the people who are now in power—realized it has become incredibly difficult to write about artwork without smuggling in an agenda that contradicts other perspectives in problematic ways. In the 60s and 70s, artists realized this and initiated a new program for art that privileged the viewer's direct experience in the moment, and totally de-emphasized any outside interpretation. We're still, more or less, living in the wake of those events, since that's basically the last thing that happened in the art historical narrative, and art museums are run by art historians.

To illustrate: when I studied art in the 2010s, the absolute worst thing you could say about an artwork or exhibition was that it was "didactic."

His point was that once the physical power individuals/governments hold exceeds a threshold, a pluralistic society cannot coexist with violence being an acceptable option.

In the context of the 1960s, governments and nuclear weapons. But more broadly the same holds true for individuals.

Either we learn to live together despite our differences, or we use our newfound great power to annihilate each other.

People in New England are generally not at all polite but very kind.

Like if you waved at someone they'd give you the bird but if you dropped your groceries someone would help you pick them up.

I live in a rough area. The kind of problems it brings are far, far, far more manageable than the kind of problems that trying to exist in a "nice" area where some large fraction of people will hate me for how I live and have no real problems so they'll focus on me. Nobody gives a shit what you do in the hood. If you don't make part of your living doing some sort of business outside the law the violence will probably never visit you. That said, despite violence being not great, property crime generally is quite low here compared to even much nicer areas in other corners of the country so that takes a lot of the inconvenience off IMO.

I think that there's great insight in your observation.

To me what's been going on is a shakedown run of the new mediums and how they exploit cognitive defects and lack of exposure in audiences.

In a total Marshall McLuhan "The Medium is the Message" kind of way some people like Shapiro, Trump, and Kirk just naturally groove in certain mediums and are able to play them like Ray Charles plays the piano.

And because society doesn't have any sort of natural exposure to this they're able to gain massive audiences and use that influence for nefarious purposes.

I'm not sure what the solution to this problem is though.

On the one had I think that there is going to be a natural feedback mechanism that puts keeps their population in check (which is basically what we just saw today) but that isn't the most desireable outcome.

You’re right that it’s important to acknowledge the pain and suffering caused by bad policy and practices, and it’s important to examine what went wrong so we don’t repeat those mistakes.

That said I think it’s important to separate good ideas from their troubled past and use them where they still apply. People are not perfect, but a good idea is good no matter where it comes from. Those good ideas shape culture and shape the destiny of nations. That’s what happened in America, and there’s a lot to be learned from the past. Unless the point is to undermine the recipe that made America into what it is today, then it doesn’t make sense to measure people who didn’t live in our time by our sensibilities, morality or ethics.

We can learn their good stuff, and improve on what they didn’t do well.

The whole thing is aggressively imbalanced: he’s sat, protected by guards, on a stage over the other person; the people asking questions are standing, their back to a large vocal crowd that may of may not be armed.

He’s cherry-picking one interaction, has all the editing controls, and even with all that, he literally interrupted the guy less than a minute in.

This is exactly what I meant: the appearance of a debate, with a heavy anvil on the scale.

Actually, not “may or may not.”
