"Depression is an indication that you need to make major life changes. It's not a chemical imbalance" is about as un-researched and un-qualified of a statement one could make. Google Scholar exists. Wikipedia exists. Everyone is has access to these resources.
Yes. Only a few things proliferate in inches, but products that are defined in inches always do. Subway sandwiches are a mixture, in the netherlands they are 30cm (an extra 30mm), in other metric countries they remain as a footlong.
For those who don't know (including me) could you explain what you mean by deprecating BTRFS? I don't understand how the file system is relevant to a file syncing app like Dropbox.

There are lots of things people can do but don’t until a social movement encourages them to do so. Charities for example don’t receive donations until someone makes a case for why they should.

Also, I’m not sure why you think that raising taxes on one group automatically results in other groups being taxed less. That isn’t typically how it works.
The same general sense of a problem can be said for people eating meat, driving cars, buying plastic disposables, sending kids to schools that focus on test-prep instead of life skills… we live in a society full of ills and many or most of the people have some vague sense of it.

Are people supposed to all become individual experts about the problems and learn the best ways to opt out of each and every aspect of unhealthy parts of our culture? Why people do what they do and how things work overall are much more complex than simple quips you're making. No comment the size of what we're typing can get at much of the complexity here.

Your whole "no obligation" argument is just so simplistic and dismissive. Facebook actively pushes people to use it using every method they can think of from subsidizing access fees in much of the world that is late to the internet to using every addictive psychological trick anyone has discovered.

This has nothing to do with property rights. That's just non sequitur. That argument is as reasonable as saying that Facebook is just a bunch of math, since that's all programs are, and then arguing something about how math can't hurt anyone or some similar nonsense.
In germany it was called "3 1/2 Zoll Diskette/Floppy" so yeah we didn't use the word inch, but I can confirm that this was true at least for us.
I'd love to start using Syncthing, but the absence of storage encryption is absolutely a deal breaker. As I understand, it was a planned feature quite a while ago, but now it isn't even in the backlog anymore. A pity, really.
Comcast runs native IPv6, along with Verizon Wireless and T-Mobile. A full 40 percent of US traffic to Google is over v6.
They also took 19 properties from their owners to build it.

Do you mean that nestjs has one developer working on it? It does have one super active Dev, but also a few sponsors that would probably see development continue.

Just talking about node/Typescript though.
Software development by itself is not a technical profession that gives the best results from this point of view. Having said this, I’m pretty sure that strong and passion-driven skills in a few fields can make a difference: embedded electronics software better than web, high quality and functional safety oriented better than plain software, ML specialist (but with real experience in challenging embedded applications) better than generic algorithms, and so on. Again: the one professional that specialises in designing the architecture and requisites of a functional safety concerned piece of software (think of an automotive code under ISO26262 norm) will easily monetise his skill much more than the ten software developers that realise the same code.

>we asked people to install and forward a port on their NAT for

At this point I no longer believe you. Having worked in the ISP industry for quite some time, only a very small portion of the more technically advanced users can do this successfully. Most users dont remember their passwords to even get in their device.

Just because windows firewall security is balls doesn't justify writing a nat helper or proxy for every protocol their is. You have just accepted the abuse that nat doles out as a norm.

It controls it in the same way PC controller does, the trick is in grabbing raw data instead of relying on primitive hardwired decoders in descendants of uPD765.

> The average person has never had a good life, and probably never will unless we have a massive reduction in population or something.

Given that the regard of ones life as "good" is a highly subjective and personalized appraisal, this seems like it's heavily in the realm of unprovable yet interesting philosophy. I tend to believe that the average person can have a good life if they can find something that gives them meaning. It can be as simple as yoga and stoicism, or really anything.

I do find it interesting tho to look at how much better even the lower classes have it now than 50, or 100, or more years ago. Even simple things like indoor plumbing (it sure is nice to not have to go outside in sub-zero temperatures and snow to take a schnitz), heating and cooling systems, and electricity are amazing, and virtually everyone has them. Then we look at truly modern things like smart phones, which are also becoming ubiquitous. Royalty of a few centuries ago could have never dreamed of such a rich life. So, while I don't think "good life" and modern conveniences are anywhere near synonymous, I do think it's clear that the "average" person's life is getting much better (tho rising inequality is a problem, but that's incidental to this IMHO).
From the Reddit comment:

> Vivaldi runs as a React app on top of Chromium, but to make that possible, they had to make changes to the way Chromium works (likely how it handles extensions).

That’s really interesting — their UI is pretty fast and responsive, so even if it’s not FOSS it’s an interesting approach to dig into. Would anyone knowledgeable be able to compare this with the Electron-based approach most other Chromium customisers use?
It may be easier to get a position as a more general purpose engineer (full stack or whatever you’re most comfortable in) with a team that has ML engineers, and work your way into the role you want from there.
Clojure's refs are actually STM based on MVCC, as explained in the link you mentioned. The problem with it is that it's really, really slow. It works elegantly and if performance is not too big of an issue, it's an appropriate solution.

There's a reason why Datomic is generally known as being quite slow, and Cognitect being really insistent on not allowing anyone to publish any benchmarks, ever.

(As a sidenote, I'm a long term Clojure developer and an absolute fan of Datomic's data model, but the context of the original article is all about speed)
So what you're suggesting is picking a field and specializing, no?

I keep selecting random tiles until the captures get easier and I can solve one without thinking. It takes about 10 to 20 iterations.
You can allocate stuff on the stack instead, or keep things in a game state.
In addition to competition from RISC-V, open-source MIPS and patents are an Arm competitor in networking and ML, https://www.datacenterknowledge.com/hardware/mips-joins-risc...

> Having spent years in the open source technology movement, I can attest to the hunger for community-driven solutions," Art Swift, president of Wave’s MIPS IP business, said in a statement. "However, until now, there has been a lack of open source access to true industry-standard, patent-protected, and silicon-proven RISC architectures."
I'd suggest we be careful with the vocabulary, there exist 2 kind of stadiums: the stadium for spectacle made for filming sport related TV shows; and the stadium for the local citizens where normal people have access to sport facilities.

Please, don't throw the baby with the bathwater, even if I don't use a stadium, people will enjoy their local running track, disk throwing field or soccer field.
Without floppy drive you would have to build a..floppy drive, kind of redundant.
It would be valuable for a large entity to censor content that would make it look bad; by disrupting operations & breaking existing links to content.
Honestly that makes way more sense to me. As is, (almost) everybody in America is breaking the law, which means we can all be pulled over without cause at any time.

Still, system being what it is, this speed bump makes no sense in the US.
In my experience, it’s not “magical” and isn’t noticeably different than chugging Gatorade, but I like it because it’s a more natural way to get rehydrated.

Some athletes use pickle juice for cramps as well.

Another benefit, if you use naturally fermented pickles at least, is the beneficial gut bacteria you get. Probably helpful after a night of destroying your innards from shots of tequila or the like...
You assume that everyone has their monitors the way you do.

At work, I have two large 16:9 monitors rotated in portrait orientation (tall), so this would be useful to me.

Currently macOS only allows 90-degree rotation increments. This allows you to have your monitor in portrait orientation, or mounted from the ceiling or a shelf, hanging upside down so there's nothing taking up space on the desk in front of you.

I've been in a couple of events in the field where having arbitrary application window rotation would have been nice because there was no place flat to put the monitors.

Could've fooled me. I tapered off it over like 2 days without any issue at all.
Well, I suppose it depends on the denomination!

"According to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, all U.S. bills weigh the same: one gram. About 454 grams make a pound, which means that a ton of dollar bills would be worth $908,000.

With coins, it is a different story. A quarter weighs 5.7 grams, according to the U.S. Mint; therefore, a ton of quarters would be worth $40,000. With pennies, it gets worse. You need 363,000 pennies (at 2.5 grams each) to make a ton, and the value of the pennies is a paltry $3,632."

It runs on your own devices, which should either be trusted or have their own encryption (it's built into every major OS). Why would additional encryption be useful?
Get a full-time position as a software engineer at a mid-sized enterprise company that is hiring in-house developers to build internal software used for their various business processes. They'll give you a great salary & full benefits, not to mention a very professional environment to work in.
I work at an insurance company and I love my team, my work, my development stack, and the work is fairly easy and not very stressful at all.
I use copy and paste for both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.

I understand where you are coming from by adding a few more bytes to the address scheme but one of the things IPv6 was designed for was massive address aggregation which means really short routing tables. Your 192.192.168.168.0.0 (say) scheme does not go far enough. Also, your scheme needs to be efficient in the world of bits and bytes and I don't think it is. Your scheme would probably need to be 64 bit to start with and not 48 bit because silicon, etc doesn't work like that.

However that simple routing scheme was blown out of the water by private addressing - ie get your own ISP independent address range. When you change ISP you end up with another prefix and hence all your addresses change. All addresses. So you buy your own range (about £3000 set up and £3000 per year from memory. You also need an ISP(s) to route it and if more than one then a BGP peering arrangement.

Another wrong in the name of IPv6: 64 bit IPv6 prefixes from an ISP means you can only have one subnet. No way to put your dodgy IoT stuff on its own VLAN.
The horror. We get something like 29000 lunches in our lifetime, and 16000 are at work. To piss this away with boring bad sandwiches is an abomination.

A good meal is one of the major pleasures of life. A whole culture that fumbles this in so fundamental a way is a tragedy.
Serverless computing: One step forward, two steps back
That would normally be called CGNAT. Yes, that does change things somewhat... except what's actually going to happen is that people will record the port number and the time as well as the IP, and the ISP is going to record every single connection you make in a big database, and then bill you for the privilege of doing it. Law enforcement will still be able to identify you, now your ISP has a record of everything you've done, and you're still dealing with the headaches of NAT all the time. Doesn't really seem worth it to me.
I agree it does seem very odd to say that, but I would say if one looks at our modern society and the way athletes are paid and idolized that for the most part the statement is true. Most people could not name 5 doctors, but they could name ten athletes. I'm not saying I like it but I think its correct.
Not really, the foundries are on the cusp of fully validating rocket cores on the various processes, and you can just include them in your design like you would a Cortex-M or Cortex-R. They've recognized that 3-5 stage classic RISC cores are a commodity market now, and it's in their best interest to make it as easy as possible to add to your design.

Above those simple cores, we should expect to see more and more RISC-V cores hit the same level of "just drop it in for no licensing, already validated, the pieces like register files are already optimized for the process". BOOM is ~Cortex-A9 perf/gatecount/IPC, which puts it into greater than RPi territory (usable, but not really out crazy). There's still work to be done on the higher end still, albeit, but it's not like you can just go out and licence the highest perf ARM cores anyway (those are Apple's).

ARM has an existential threat, IMO.
The point is exactly running on untrusted devices - get a el cheapo server at some VPS provider and have it backup all your data + serve it from a always-on decent datacenter connection.

I've also been waiting for that one feature :/
Isn't this one of those things that's obviously true?

For one thing, supernovae can release gamma ray bursts, which could easily sterilize a region of space. For another, the ejection of material itself could directly affect nearby systems.

Personally I think the more interesting aspects is how, in a certain way, supernovae are _needed_ for complex life as this largely seems to be the source for elements heavier than iron.

Isn't it kind of amazing that there's a bunch of material on earth that only exists because of supernovae and even the merger of neutron stars?
Simplest answer to all this I know of is for local and national governments to have to publish, and news outlets to report regularly on, in the same common format, P&L and balance sheet statements, including hard to measure non financial indicators like commute times.

I really, really like this comment - especially coming from the outsourcing body-shop type of world, where very little revenue derived from the software trickles down to developers.
It's quite a bit easier to eyeball than v4, because it's much easier to make sure that your network falls on a character boundary (multiple of 4 bits out of 128) than it is to make it fall on an octet boundary (multiple of 8 bits out of 32).

If you find v6 harder than it's just down to a lack of practice.

Neither does.. well anyone. Dropbox decided to drop support for BTRFS and pretty much any other Linux file system that isn't ext4, and to my knowledge still hasn't explained their rationale to this day.

See: https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Error-messages/Dropbox-clien...
I don't think this warning is really necessary. Nobody's thinking of a modest local high school stadium with garden variety bleachers when they're discussing this topic.
As of last November, Dropbox only supports ext4 on Linux, NFTS on Windows, and HFS+/APFS on Mac. Couldn't tell you the technical reasons for the change, but they're listed here:

I wonder what would be Norway economically today without it’s oil. More like Iceland may be.
I cringe when I see SF bringing the Warriors to town. Why not use the space for housing? It’s not like Cincinnati where you need Sports attractions to draw people to the area.

Having a Sports Team May help local restaurants, but I would think so would more houses. When there are so many homeless people, the housing stock is more important than a stadium.
>> If we go by popular vote you will likely see most cities vote to keep their teams

Source?

>> because we’ve all been raised to think of them as ours despite owning nothing.

Not sure why there should be a connection between public funding for teams and teams staying in any particular city.

If all cities stopped public funding for privately-owned sports teams, the teams would still need a place to call "home".

The owners would just be slightly less rich.
This is the case in most of Europe as well, servers normally bring a mobile payment machine to the table for you to pay
No. It will make Radare2 completely obsolete.
> IPv6 was promoted way before there was demand.

No? My recollection is the original primary objective of IP Next was to prevent the net's flat address space from collapsing into NATed fragments. The need was immediate and pressing. We failed. Now we all live in what was feared - a post-collapse wasteland of centralized systems.
Your crispr = sed analogy is apt because DNA is basically code.

Cells, however, are not files, so I would be careful extending the analogy. There is no "find" command for the same reason you can't run "find" on your physical bookshelf--objects in 3d space are not indexable files on a hard drive.

Perhaps we'll eventually have microscopic robots that can search out specific cells, in the same way Amazon uses robots to retrieve items in their warehouses. But that's a very different problem space, where the focus is largely mechanical rather than programmatic.

Datomic is not a database you want if you have any performance requirements. Tuning it for production is a nightmare, only cognitect can do it, so if you use it for anything serious, make sure to buy a support contract.

They partly solve the 'no one can tune this black box' with their cloud offering by doing it for you, but cloud is a different product and dependent on AWS, it doesn't have an on-premise version.
Softbank's investment theses are interesting. They represent a kind of vision I haven't found an equivalent for in the western VC culture. But this article feels a little soft...

> Yet Mr Muller’s “drawings” are anything but simple. They are computer code which give Arm’s customers a blueprint for the construction of microprocessors, information-processing machines so complex that firms are happy for Arm to shoulder the burden of their fundamental design. Those clients—consumer-hardware giants such as Apple

A question for anyone who knows--my impression of the Apple-Arm relationship was that Apple primarily needed a new ISA to do an end-run around Intel's x86 stranglehold and found an avenue via ARM? For the recent chips, I thought large majority of the silicon was custom designed in-house, with Arm's own designs serving as a loose blueprint.

Is Arm really delivering value here to other firms? And is it sustainable or meaningful in the long-term?
How is it different from [Minix3][1]? It seems to accomplish the exactly same goal.

Was that because of the stadium, though?

You have to look at the big picture of lots of different cases, rather than just looking at one example, to avoid the correlation == causation trap.

The other thing to look at would be, "what if we injected that money into the economy some other way, rather than into subsidizing a stadium?" It's possible that investing in, say, robust public transit would have an even greater economically beneficial impact.
We own two rental houses and our townhouse on 30 year fixed. We are interested in building a property portfolio so for us it’s a perfect fit.
Someone has to program the apps for these “future devices”. It’s very weird to me how the future of computing is a terrible interactive interface for the very people who have to make the future interactive interface. They’ll be forced to release an iPad that is the “future” and a Mac someone can actually program on.

Those people wouldn't lose health coverage if they had enough value to afford it from their own labor. If they don't make enough to afford health care then who benefits from them being healthy/alive? I don't find the fact that they'll whine and burn things down a convincing reason to subsidize their lives. Eventually they'll burn out and without healthcare they'll stop being a problem.

While we're on the subject of Rust (and, in particular, /learning/ Rust), I'd like to ask folks here: is there a developer advocate who does what Francesc Campoy does for Go but with Rust?

I'm talking about Francesc's "JustForFunc"[0] video series where he commonly does code reviews of Go code. I find it a really good way to see examples of working code and best practice and I've been scouring youtube looking for the same but for Rust.

Ideas?

There's no need to guess, the study was actually done on Teslas with and without AP hardware.

I don't know it well enough to know if there were other factors at play, but it wasn't just that Teslas in general were less likely to crash, only the ones with AP hardware installed.
You can buy a DNS domain for a few quid per year or you can use a dynamic DNS service such as freeDNS for err free.

If you go around exposing services on the internet then you should know how to do it properly. If you can get a name on it then you can put a SSL certificate on it (cheers Lets Encrypt).

If you have a SSL cert on it then you can be fairly sure you are talking to your gear and not a MitM if you take other precautions.

I absolutely do have a LE SSL cert for my home router and all my home web sites. pfSense has a ACME and dynamic DNS client for many services and HA Proxy built in. What more could you want!
A NAS of course could be a rather cheap system running Linux/FreeBSD with three drives in a RAID-Z1 configuration, with SAMBA server. Then you're not dependent on what fs Windows supports (though I recall there being some work towards supporting zfs on Windows, so perhaps eventually).
