get your testosterone levels checked.

often problems that manifest themselves between human beings have an underlying physical cause. take up a character building sport like BJJ where it is difficult to cheat. this acclimates you to physical closeness and the human touch (non-sexual intimacy, fellowship, brotherhood), strength and dominance (power, abuse, corruption), technique and body mechanics (spatial awareness, developing creativity), practice and repetition (dedication, art), competition and individual effort (confidence, respect), teamwork and collaboration (being human). sports teach children how to navigate and are used to develop the mind and strengthen the body for life. they are miniature wars with battles, leaders, and self discovery. if you did play sports as a child maybe revisit that time and try to understand if something was getting in the way of your learning.

expecting the world to change for you while remaining adamant about not changing yourself is exactly where species meets extinction.

The missing piece in all of this is the possibility of a clean rollback. If all infrastructure could be described "as code" and is version controlled in Git or something you could roll back. That doesn't take into account the omnipresent state in databases and so on. I have yet to see a system or environment that doesn't save state in databases or similar systems.

As far as I understand the reason for the fork was that Gogs has a single maintainer who want to keep control over the project (he created it, so he has that right).

Gitea on the other hand was to be more of a community project with multiple maintainers and ways for active contributors to become one.

Though Gogs has more stars, and currently, I think, more related project/integrations, looking at GH stats, Gitea has more activity, PR's, commits, etc.

That made me choose Gitea over Gogs. Really content with it.. was planning on using Gitlab at first, but it would require AWS instances with double the oomph.

The documentation could be better, agree, but a search in issues or filing a Help wanted issue comes a long way.
Not sure its a guarantee that China will master the state-of-the-art of every important sector. China is aging at a very fast pace [1] as their workers are getting older and not being replaced (the tornado chart is pretty stark). This is going to slow the economy considerably.

Given other more developed countries have a technology advantage that they're not sharing and they do not face a demographic crunch, its possible China will find themselves perpetually behind in many areas.

The issue with microservices at scale vis-a-vis microservices is linear scaling of routing tables, very short-lived IP connections, and large update times for massive service maps.

I think networking is complex in general, but the promise of this kind of integration (from my limited understanding), would be a clear reflection of services at the routing level instead of a hodgepodge of ports and IP addresses that provide little context or meaning. Having lost a few half-days learning iptable nuances in our Kubernetes cluster I can see the benefits in having an integrated stack with less impedance between architecture and routing.

Generally we don't eliminate complexity, we just move it from one place to another. I imagine this is a case where a more complex service implementation could provide a simpler user experience.

In all these countries, 10-15% of the population pays the top tax rate.

Proposing it as a sales tax might avoid Prop 13, but continues the problem where new buyers fund the state budget and homeowners/Baby Boomers get everything for free.

/tmp works perfectly fine for this purpose:

See mktemp(1), mkstemp(3), and mkdtemp(3). Please stop spreading these rumors that mislead people into writing programs that leave trash in my home directory.

The real issue with that code is the fact that Clipper is configured to listen on a TCP port instead of a socket file (placed in a /tmp subdirectory created by mktemp -d, of course).
They are probably investing in employees, facilities, software infrastructure, and knowledge. It is smarter to start with a feasible project and start improving from there, then building something too big which you might not be able to launch successfully.
Dismissing large sums of money like that in terms of percentages can really get you into trouble. Sure, it's "only" 5% more for a $1.5M property. Another way to think of it is as a 30 thousand dollar roadblock facing anyone who wants to move to California.
thanks, think I'm starting to see, so with one sort of Monad I can chain a bunch of functions together and carry along things like an error value (or a null), and just skip out of the chain if an error occurs but without worrying about a bunch of if tests. That seems useful :-). The do syntax makes the chaining a lot more friendly than in other languages.

That’s a pretty funny exaggeration but not an exaggeration by much. That is, I’ve seen examples of it all.

But I brought up a (now) 20 year old in Palo Alto without the scheduling, tutoring, driving around and other nonsense, and he did get into a “top” school (whatever “top” really means).

But it did show a clear partition in which kids he could in practice be friends with.

OTOH he was able to pocket quite a bit of cash tutoring some pampered kids!
> You mean he could make less money by running his company inefficiently and that would be good for people?

It would definitely be good for the warehouse workers who are being exploited at the moment. Do you think efficiency goes above all else?

Because Amazon warehouse workers are being exploited by Amazon?

Why do you bring up this straw man? Is there any relation between optometrists and Amazon?

No it isn't. He has built his fortune on the hard work of his employees. He could at least address the problems with their working conditions.
Oh boy. I normally lurk but this one gets me.

Having to bag my own groceries is infuriating. In Canada, The Real Canadian Superstore was the first to do this and it has a shitty feel.

The lines are long, I bring my own bags and have to get out of peoples way as I pay and try to bag my own groceries.

I actually started going to self checkouts because if they don’t bag my groceries, cashiers are useless to me!

If you think bagging is just stuffing bags in orde that groceries come, you’re nuts. I hate it when a useless cashier takes my apples and just tosses them into bags too. They’re fragile and need to be handled as such.

I definitely think bagging is a service worth paying for and appreciate when I get a bagger that gets it.

Oh, my first real job was bagging and helping customers with the groceeos to their cars. Not useles.
To your first point: correct. But the concentration in air is so bloody low for any chemical process (air is <0.5% CO2) that you'll have to put in huge amounts of energy. It's not going to be economically feasible.

To your second point: capturing CO2 and then re-emitting it is completely off the table. It will be (or already is, depending on your interpretation of Directive 2008/98/EC) banned in Europe, likely with an exception for greenhouses (where they need to use CO2 for growing plants, and currently get it from burning natural gas).

Dangers that Facebook, Google and the other tech monopolies pose to our society
The reason is security. It isn't much of a problem on a laptop only you use (since then your home directory is likely none safer), but on a shared machine, or at least a shared file system, other accounts can access stuff in /tmp just fine, e.g. by replacing the file with a symlink. To perform a delete operation on a file, you only need execute permissions on the containing directory (iirc), but nothing on the file itself.

Yes. The default of blocking I/O is optimized for simple programs where I/O is not the main thing. That default is perfect for those programs. Another default behavior, killing the program on SIGPIPE is also optimized for those programs.

But I'm specifically talking about those that need sophisticated strategies to deal with multiplexed I/O (which is a topic of this article you're commenting on).
I don’t doubt that, statistically speaking, that is true.

This is actually funny. I would argue the solution is invalid, except that due to mortality it actually works.

The problem lies in the assumption about how Alice thinks.

The set of integers is countably infinite, so your probability to guess a specific number N is zero if the distribution is uniform (e.g. there isn't a higher likelihood of picking "smaller / closer to zero" numbers.) [1]

But because it would take a lot of mortal time to describe arbitrarily large numbers, you MUST assume that because Alice is mortal, she'll pick a number she could describe in her lifetime.

Therefore, the question is not valid. Alice does not truly have a domain over all the integers to choose from. She only has the ability to pick numbers she could write down on a slip of paper within her lifetime.

Since the paper is limited in how much information it can contain anyway, it therefore cannot represent any arbitrary integer from the infinite set.

So the question is re-written: Alice picks two integers from a finite pool..

Aside from EShell, the shells you use in Emacs (via M-x ansi-term or M-x shell) are whatever you want them to be. I use bash, but I know plenty who use ZSH and Fish.

I also do what OP does: I do as much as I can in Emacs to leverage what Emacs does best.

I think you underestimate how much respect your colleagues have for you, Myrmornis. The fact that you are using Emacs/Vim proficiently in most shops nowadays is a badge of respect to a lot of people already. Furthermore, most of Emacs's tooling won't hide you from the harsh realities of knowing how things work.
Different markets.

China brute-forced building cheap solar panels and flooded the market with them, and the markets generally prefer cheap panels to expensive ones. It's the kind of market China has historically excelled in - high volume, labor & environment intensive, relatively low tech.

Semiconductors are way more complex and the markets prefer the latest and greatest for a variety of reasons. Also (afaik) while fixed costs continue to grow at each new process node, variable costs for a given chip on each new node I believe are lower due to being able to produce more in a given wafer, so that further makes markets like the latest.
Even with that in mind, blocking it on all sites with those few whitelisted would be simpler and more predictable.
Well, I recognize my own lack of skills there. What's worse is that I also have a generally uphill battle with interpersonal skills, so I'm really not the person to teach them to anyone.

However, so long as we don't have professional courses taking this into account I don't think we can talk about teaching "software engineers".
It's an investment, not a loan.
I've been in this business for a bit over four years now, operating as a B2B provider with one key partner (a chain of bowling alleys). Our main point of difference to the typical business in this space is that we don't operate our own rooms. We instead build turn-key games that can be replicated and shipped to site, and we've done a lot of R&D to entirely automate the game-master job. Our rooms track players' progress and introduce easier and easier hints over time, and eventually bypass puzzles (with justifiable story reasons) so everyone sees all the interesting parts.

ER enthusiasts typically seem to prefer losing to having a puzzle spoiled by a clue, and as a result, often hate our rooms. First timers, who make up >99.5% of our customers, absolutely love it. It's a weird position to not focus on repeat business, but in such a supply-limited market there doesn't seem to be any shortage of new customers. It's also a pleasant market to operate in because virtually all the other operators are our friends - everyone refers customers to other venues because they can't replay your rooms anyway. There's hardly any of the cut-throat business practices you might see in other fields.

Err...30k is 5% of $600k which is the going rate for a townhome in Fremont.

I'm sorry but when the sums are that astronomical it really is a rounding error - especially for a home improvement that saves the homeowner money in the long term. If someone can't afford $630k they almost certainly couldn't afford the $600k it would've cost otherwise.

Like I mentioned above, because of space constraints the Bay Area has little choice but to densify if it wants to add significant new housing, and the new regs wouldn't apply to buildings taller than 3 stories.

Things like parking minimums, low-density zoning, and fragmentation of public transit have done and continue to do, most of the damage to housing affordability. Requiring solar is peanuts in comparison and has otherwise beneficial effects also - namely, reduction of carbon emissions.

Or they throw money into sectors that they can't win thereby depleting resources away from areas they can. It can seem the Chinese are advancing in every field, but their unfavorable demographics and inability to attract overseas talent will eventually catch up.

No, they don't need to to begin with. They are smart enough to not to parrot late USSR.

Instead, it is seems more evident with each day that they use counterstrategy - sealing West's advancements in what will be the stem of state-of-the-art tech tomorrow, for cheap, instead of fighting for already substantial, but heading for decline things-that-matter markets.
At the beginning of this post the given definition of value doesn't seem correct to me, because I think it should be the expected value of the sum of all the rewards from t to infinity and not of R_t, but I could be wrong.

I deal with it on occasion, even though I'm normally 100% perfectly fine with strangers, groups, etc... But, when I speak in public, and especially when the focus is on me... It's so rough. No amount of practice, conditioning, preparedness does any good when you try to talk and _literally_ nothing comes out. I've found myself having to force speech and it _sounds_ forced in my head. I've never had the presence of mind to ask a friend or colleague what it sounds like to them, I'll have to try to remember to do that next time. I've just always kind of dealt with it because it only happens infrequently that I'm in those situations (1-2 times a year, maybe).

Ok, this isn't "the thing" with solar panels, but: they're going to require maintenance, be subject to wiring issues, and you have to clean those bad boys.

Roof work is notoriously 'dangerous', and impacts people with mobility/age issues differently than most of us. The maintenance burden is more than just the warranty, and any cost calculations of power savings should account for those costs as well.

I agree with the adoption of a sport. If BJJ is not quite up your alley may I suggest running? 5k, 10k, half marathon, marathon... which ever you can see yourself enjoying most. I've tried running, BJJ (blue belt), crossfit (injured myself), softball, flag football, and soccer and I alway come home to racing. There is nothing quite like it. When I, as a man in my mid 30's am racing down the last 100 meters against a 65 year old I can't help but think they have found the fountain of youth. The confidence, friendships, and experiences races build are things you can treasure forever. The only drawback I have found is the emaciated look that serious runners develop after prolonged training (months to years). It does sound vain but in reality that is what has kept me from pursuing it even more competitively. I'd love to hear the thoughts of other runners out there, is this an issue you struggle with?
Despite research to support that I think the problem might lie in that friendship may not seem worth it. Societies can emphasize individual independence, and technology can amplify it in real terms, making human interaction not necessarily where it once was. Why have lots of friends when so much of the immediately-obvious utility can be bridged by some other services?

Where neighbors used to possibly serve as an extension to your resources (a large ladder, sugar, someone to sign a package for you maybe), these days solutions (often technological) have sprung up to reduce the necessity of working together (rent-a-tool shops/sites, ease of transportation, configurable delivery).

Of course, the negative effects of restricted social networks are being felt now in communities (poor cohesion) and individually (mental health issues)... Tech helps sometimes (connecting people who might feel isolated in their immediate surroundings) and can hurt a lot of the time as well.

I wouldn't put any value to those perks. The average use of that 100GB storage is likely to be a very small fraction of that and all will cost pennies or less for Adobe to provide. Yes, if you just so happen to be in the market for all of those it would cost you some amount to source them independently. But the trend of bundling low-cost tangential services as a pricing defence strikes me as rather cynical.
