The tweet you linked to is making false claims about dnssec. It doesn't "blow up the sizes of dns requests" If you aren't explicitly looking up dnssec signatures, a signed zone's responses will be the same length as an unsigned zone's responses.

Also, dnssec for their real website, icann.org, is properly configured.

Here in is what triggered the negative reaction to your most-parent comment.

> There's no substitute for the flesh of an animal — especially one I raised, where I know its diet, its experiences, and how it was slaughtered and butchered

> I'm saying I delight in eating the flesh of an animal, and that knowing I gave it a comfortable, healthy life and a merciful death contributes to that pleasure.

The former comment can be misconstrued to mean that 1) you revel in the power you have over animals you raise or 2) you enjoy the process of slaughtering an animal, in of itself.

The latter comment makes it clear that your intent is to give animals the best life possible (given your decision to eat meat).

I think CPython is quite clear about not optimising python code, no? I think both the docs and python programmers quickly disabused me of that notion (although this was some years ago so I guess things could have changed).

After all PyPy's selling point is that it does optimise, isn't it?
No, as usual Wikipedia isn't quite accurate. Here's an actual interview with the "father of GPS".

"BRAD PARKINSON: Absolutely. And there are a lot of misconceptions about that. You hear people saying, well it was a military system and eventually made a civil system. That was not true.

Hey loceng, I don't normally comment on the meat subject. "Veggies are good and meat is bad" is a modern day religion.

Looking at you past posts it seems that you are dealing unsuccessfully with depression. Here is something that will work with a very high degree of certainity. Go all red meat. No spices, no lean meat, no veggies. Nothing but red meat and salt for a month. Go for the fatty and gelatinous cuts: Ribs, steaks, brisket etc, but no lean cuts. You may have to stick with it for life. I'm a carnivore (only meat + eggs) for 6 years now. I had other health issues but not depression. There are lots of anecdotes from the web about depression of all kinds reducing or disappearing.

Sincerely hope that my post also helps someone else.
Yes, the support is excellent. Sometimes they will even email you a new version with your requested bug fix.

Note that $3000 lacks the decompilers, of which there are 5 available. The total price with all of those is about $15,000.
Can you please elaborate a bit more why OpenVPN is risky per se?

I feel like his comments do not apply to all of the world. In Japan for example, meat consumption is so prominent that we hardly ever consider not having meat. Sure, there is a lot of hamburger here but for the most part people stick to meat in its natural state - lots of pork, beef. Trying to convert Japan from a pork eating society would probably be a feeble attempt.
True, but CharlesW's parent comment was specifically about "U.S. factory farms".

And even 14.5% is significantly lower than what I would have guessed before listening to the episode.
I've never heard of meat substitutes being "marketed ideologically as something that will help reduce economic inequality"—that's such an odd argument to make.

What I have heard before is:
- more resource-efficient and green since livestock farming requires a lot of feed and has a higher carbon footprint than all vehicles combined, and
- that it's less cruel than raising animals to be slaughtered.

In terms of economics, a cheaper meat substitute would just mean a cheaper source of protein for people, comparable to eating vegetables.

As a side note, does anyone know why Paul Graham has been talking about economic inequality recently? Is it just politics season and that this is a debate issue?
> Not all foreign earthworms are destructive. Of the 5,000 species around the globe, only about 16 of the European and Asian varieties do the real damage. One of them is the night crawler (Lumbricus terrestris), a popular fish bait that can measure up to 15 to 20 centimeters (six to eight inches). Another is the Alabama jumper (Amynthas agrestis)—also known as the snake worm or crazy worm—an aggressive Asian worm that lives at high densities and can literally jump off the ground or out of a bait can, according to fishing lore.

So maybe we should use some of the remaining 4984 species of worms as fish bait?

I just tried, again. Even on LAN (same switch in fact) the performance is worse than what I got when I was RDP'ing to my desktop in Norway from a hotel in Hawaii. And it didn't forward audio at all.

I'll check it out from work tomorrow, but so far it's usable but not exactly great when compared to RDP.
The last glacial maximum in the US pushed all of the earthworms out of the north central US and Canada, and if memory serves the 'Northern Hardwood Forests' exist in a subset of that area?

Earthworms of pretty much any kind are invasive there, and it's not just a soil microbiome problem, it also affects seed germination. Some of those tree species are adapted to germinate in a bed of leaf litter.

It's a challenge. People post things online that are appropriate to their region and beginners elsewhere don't get why they might not work locally (like that some plants are useful in zone 8 but invasive in zone 5, or vice versa).
"Good kernels successfully run code. Good desktops successfully help users. I guess different goals require different designs?"

A good desktop needs to run code successful, otherwise every small bug can make a big annoying glitch.

I guess it is more a question of optimizing.

The hardcore linux user uses the terminal and a text editor mainly and kind of despise GUIs. Linux seems to be optimized for them as they are the most active ones using it.
And this use case works perfectly.

GUIs are mostly a thing that was added because of the "newbs" but does not get used so much by the core - so they suck as the core group are the ones who know how to fix things.
This was the situation when I started to explore the linux world and some things changed, but not much.

But Linux main problems are hardware issues, which is partly because of linux enforced OpenSource nature which wants drivers to be opensource and included in the kernel. And traditional industry does not like that approach. And given the small marketshare of linux desktop ... they don't really have to.

I wonder whether there's something deeper going on here in the world. The explosion of content on the Internet in the past 15 years has resulted in a great deal of high quality articles and long form journalism becoming readily available. Perhaps books were what we put up with when there was just less quality writing within reach. But now with heightened expectations we grow tired with the occasional rambling, repetition and longueurs that previously we would just power through out of habit.

I'm not arguing this is the case. But it's something I've wondered about as a possible explanation for why books are less appealing to me now.

Whoa this article has brought up some painful memories and I agree with so much, but yet I can't imagine using Windows, it pisses me off even more.

> ! Linux security/permissions management is a bloody mess: PAM, SeLinux, Udev, HAL (replaced with udisk/upower/libudev), PolicyKit, ConsoleKit and usual Unix permissions (/etc/passwd, /etc/group) all have their separate incompatible permissions management systems spread all over the file system. Quite often people cannot use their digital devices unless they switch to a super user.

In theory they're all separate things, but they interleave so much, there has to be a better system.

I have personally reported two serious audio playback regressions, which have been consequently resolved, however most users don't know how to file bugs, how to bisect regressions, how to identify faulty components.

I was affected by this too, qemu was broken for me for almost half a year.

There's one thing that's very subjective in the article, even if the author claims otherwise. I like to call it the Winduslexia, it doesn't occur for anyone other than previous Windows users:

> All native Linux filesystems are case sensitive about filenames which utterly confuses most users. This wonderful peculiarity doesn't have any sensible rationale. Less than 0.01% of users in the Linux world depend on this feature.
> IMO we should fight to consume the modern Web and apps in ways that benefit us and not somebody else.

That's kind of a self-defeating statement. The modern web and it's requiring the end user to blindly run third party code to even get text to show on a webpage is the problem. And 'apps' on locked-down, proprietary computer devices like smart phones only makes it worse.

My solution to the problem was to not start. I have never owned a smart phone that connects to a telco network. Only in the last year or two have I bought a ($15) smart phone to use over wifi with my custom 910 MHz wireless ethernet bridge between my home network and car network. But in the end I never used it since my thinkpad laptop was so much more powerful and better for getting actual work done.
I think it might also be a "lazy" solution to a more complex problem, which this post does not address: Python allows nested functions to, IIRC, an unspecified depth (probably limited by something like stack size). I imagine that that given how Python implements variable lookups, this could be problematic with optimizations in that in the face of nested functions and control paths, it would be very difficult (probably not impossible) to prove they are not used.
It's funny, I feel the same way about smoking when I first tried it. What's the big deal? Why can't anyone just stop? It's only after years of building habits and life rhythms that you realize how deeply ingrained these things become..

I no longer smoke, but my relationship with my device is very choppy. Sometimes healthy (I'm in control, and I use my phone when I want or need to), and sometimes not.

None of those have anything to do with a supposed "open source" phone. An open source phone should be able to be a handheld computing device, with cellular and WiFi radios, running a libre OS.

That being said, I do like the fact that it is moddable and the schematics are open. Calling it a phone is a stretch though, it's more like a hobbyist kit.
I've found it effective recently to push my chair out from my desk or to shove my phone back into my pocket as soon as I realize I am about to engage in a distracting activity. I close my eyes and focus on my breathing, meditating if you will, until I feel the temptation pass. It might help to build some concrete habit to replace a bad one rather than focusing on eliminating the bad habit directly.

Yes I do the same multiple days per week. It works surprisingly well here though. Rarely more than 3-4 boxes left on the shelf that has over a hundred around noon. Sometimes it was even fully sold out.

> I wouldn't even know what to do with a 15 million yen salary, honestly. Crazy money.

With higher salary easily come higher living standards. Bigger house, not looking at food prices so much, more expensive vacations.

I got by with 1.5million yen the last years, but could barely afford the 600million to 1 billion yen family house I would like to have one day (Munich, not SF!) even with a 10mil yen salary (6mil post tax) and no increase in living standards from the 1.5mil.
Here's another question I had for a few weeks:

I tried a server of a certain free VPN via OpenVPN and since it did not support tunneling traffic through their own servers for IPv6 requests, my friend told me to disable IPv6 on my adapter's settings. Now ipleak.net doesn't detect my location. Was it a smart thing to do?
Thanks for mentioning those options. I found a little more about the in the ext4 manpage.

Things about it a little more, I'd expect I could skip the first directory fsync I'd mentioned. Surely the rename can't make it to the directory without the creation getting there, too...

Anyway, I feel like I've could come up with a list of questions 10x as long as the one I just gave, but you'd never really get answers, even for a particular drive, os, fs combo, without expensive testing or source code digging.
I wish that there would be one unified API for creating desktop programs on Linux. Right now it's somewhat coalesced on GTK/GNOME and Qt/KDE, though there are a number of others out there.

I use Linux in a VM for very hobbyist level embedded development (think Arduino and the like). Driver problems are non-existent, all of the technical problems are non-issues in this environment. The problems that I see are all to do with the lack of a common set of services for building a GUI application.

Why do my text editor and Arduino IDE use different file pickers? It's because my text editor uses the KDE API, but the Arduino IDE uses something else. GIMP uses yet a different file picker from the other two. LibreOffice uses yet another file picker, that's similar to Kate's but slightly different. I'm sure that installing Atom and VS Code would introduce me to two more file pickers.

The reason for this is that each of these programs uses a different GUI toolkit and, as a result, has a different concept of what a file picker needs to look like. Some of them don't even agree on which order the Open and Cancel buttons should be.

Network transparency is another thing that suffers from this. On Windows, you can basically use a UNC path (\\server\share\path\to\file.txt) almost anywhere because the entire system from the file picker all the way down to the file APIs knows about UNC paths. In Linux, KDE apps do this one way, GNOME apps do it a different way, and command line tools need you to somehow mount the target server before you can even think about it. I last seriously used Windows about 14 years ago and I still miss this greatly.

None of these are insurmountable problems, but it needs someone to make a decision about the one true way to do things.
For the most part, completely identical. They all work by squirting numbers into cgroups.

Of course he does not intend to criticize it, but to show what the dumb compiler is.

> To be clear: This isn’t to say CPython is bad, or even that it should necessarily change. In fact, as I’ll show, dumb bytecode compilers are par for the course. In the past I’ve lamented how the Emacs Lisp compiler could do a better job, but CPython and Lua are operating at the same level. There are benefits to a dumb and straightforward bytecode compiler: the compiler itself is simpler, easier to maintain, and more amenable to modification (e.g. as Python continues to evolve). It’s also easier to debug Python (pdb) because it’s such a close match to the source listing.
The FAQ I linked has the full details, but in short:

* OpenVPN's user experience isn't as good as IPSec's or (more recently) Wireguard's.

* OpenVPN uses TLS and specifically OpenSSL, meaning that it inherits substantial design and implementation flaws.

* OpenVPN's security track record is poor, both on the client and server sides.

My favorite is IVPN. It's true that I've written stuff for them. But that's in part because I've known the CEO, Nick Pestel, for several years. And to the extent that I trust anyone, I trust him. But also, they're one of the older VPN services, and one of the first to accept Bitcoin. And their apps are well designed.

I also like AirVPN, Mullvad and PIA a lot. I don't know anyone there personally, but they're all strong privacy advocates.

I'm concerned about relationships between Tesonet and NordVPN and ProtonVPN. So I wouldn't use them.
