I think that attitude is becoming more common. Maybe it's just my bubble of the kind of friends I retain, but in general, at least everyone is aware of it and in my bubble most people actively consider at least some of what they do.

The biggest problem I find is people saying "we can't do anything anyway" or "it's never enough". I dunno man, if you actually thought you could make a difference, maybe we all together could? Look for green energy providers that actually invest in building new renewable energy plants, buy more second-hand items, don't fly short-haul when you can take a train or tell your boss that you want to at least offset such emissions, and break the pattern of going everywhere by car (if possible, I understand transit is difficult in the USA). And of course, vote the right way.

All of that shifts where your money goes and very few of these things would actually impact your daily life, perhaps the only major one being your commute if it is realistic for you to use the bus/train instead of a car. It might get a little longer, you'll have to accept that you get near other humans that you haven't hand-picked, but if coexisting is too much to ask...

We can do it, if only we accept the idea that we can tackle something bigger than any individual or even an individual industry.
This is a bit hyperbole. The employee intellectual property agreement is pretty much 'we own everything you do[1]', same as every other company. So you're at the whim of legal and director approval for CLAs. There are numerous teams contributing to OSS projects, a small smattering of which can be found under Apple's own Github: https://github.com/apple

However, folks undergoing software engineer training could be forgiven for this impression, as the training is very OSS hostile. Some of this is understandable, as the two major concerns are corporate engineers plagiarizing OSS, and accidentally giving away patents, both of which are massive liabilities to be avoided.

And yes, the company is very allergic to GPLv3, for a variety of reasons. My recollection is that all the tech companies don't like it or its companion, AGPL. You'll note that many of the GNU tools shipped predate GPLv3.

The fact that today I accidentally deleted $XDG_DATA_HOME instead of \$XDG_DATA_HOME (somehow `# vim` keep re-creating that directory) in my $HOME folder and now I can't seem to bind META+T to Konsole and META+E to Dolphin.

Any other applications, I can bind. Any other shortcuts I can. But Meta+T/E to Konsole/Dolphin, I can't. Fortunately KDE doesn't seem to store much in ~/.local/share (which is where $XDG_DATA_HOME points to). edit: ah, a reboot later and it works as usual... go figure (not saying it's KDE's fault, it maybe be an .xprofile or some .voodoo mismatch).

And the fact that some options in the default configuration panel can actually only be used when you chown certain files to root (the login manager background for instance).

I love KDE though, the UI is way cleaner than it was before, it's fast, the whole desktop feels visually coherent, but it still feels like climbing a tree with a gazillion branches when configuring it through the configuration UI.

I sympathize with your position and have had similar problems in the past. There’s no magic option. But typically the combination of a completely new API and implementation is very difficult for both implementors and users.
How good (or bad) is Blue Iris for false positives on motion detection (ie. alerts on trees blowing instead of meaningful motion)?

I saw another self install windows software a few months ago that does machine learning to find people and reduce false positives, but I can't find it now. Have you tried any that do this?

I have a 32" curved ultrawide (3440x1440) at home and a 32" 4k at work. I work and game from home, and I mostly prefer the ultrawide even though it has less pixels.

For the ~ decade before I got this monitor I used to use 2x24" 1080p displays at home, but always ended up craning my neck using them as you either have the bezel down the centre to fit and then you're constantly looking to the side, or have one monitor way off to the side so it's even less useful. I find myself turning my head much less with an ultrawide for whatever reason.

Compared to the similarly sized 4k monitor I use at work, the one at home is essentially just shorter. It makes using 4 tiled windows not as good, but I don't really miss it (though this could be due to the tiling WM I use).

I don't do a ton of gaming anymore—but when I do, it's awesome. Surprisingly immersive.

I dual boot my computer at home with Linux / Windows, and use Linux as my daily driver with i3 [1]. I do find the monitor much more usable in Linux with i3 managing windows and workspaces than the occasions I need to develop on Windows (on Windows, I hate how windows just pop up pretty much where-ever). When working I tend to keep two windows side-by-side, one for my editor and the other for whatever I'm working on (terminal instance, android emulator, website, etc). I then use hotkeys to switch instantly between workspaces so it's quite fluid, but the monitor plays less into that. When I first bought mine I had visions of using 3 windows side-by-side, but I just never do that in practice for some reason. I also run everything at 1x scale, so the added vertical screen real estate (1440 vs 1080) is quite useful.

I use LG monitors almost exclusively, but that's simply because of cost—they're almost always cheaper than other brands and I've never had any problems with them. They may not be as high quality or stacked as full of features as other brands but they've always been good enough for me.

I'm never going back to dual-screens—to me they seem embarrassingly bad in pretty much every way compared to a single ultrawide these days.

There is a minor effect to it - who can afford to walk away more. It has some correlation in that those in poverty are essentially always precarious while the better off can either have reserves or be "overleveraged".
I think you'd indeed have to look at more demanding applications, more "bleeding edge" stuff computationally: 3D gaming is probably as good a candidate as ever, maybe some in-app AI workflows, idk. Truth is, I know how to bring a desktop/server to its knees because there are valid use-cases for that, but on mobile I struggle to find many examples indeed. I guess any heavy data crunching app might fit the bill, but when don't you run that remotely? On-premises offline pro apps maybe, like tools for e.g. plumbers and electricians? All of that stuff is in embedded afaik. Dedicated devices, rugged cases, it's a whole other market/target.

So cross-platform solutions on mobile indeed seem to fit most-if-not-all of the 'normal' use-cases, assuming there's server resource available. The Twitter/Rails example is one perfect illustration, and there are many such examples throughout big names we know today.
So it's less than 3% for WDE. The other thing I wasn't clear on is if this initramfs speeds up boot of 'normal' Linux machines, sans encryption.

Furthermore, while there are few practical alternatives to planes for intercontinental travel, we already have the means for fast, affordable, comfortable travel at the regional level (trains). So it makes a lot of sense to target short-haul air travel in densely populated areas for replacement by trains.
How do you know those aren't already supported?
> All other RDBMS products also store their information inside files.

No they don't. There are many RDBMS (and other DBMSs) that do not store their information inside files.

> I can take a mdb file from SQL Server and copy it to another server and attach it there.

Yes, SQL Server is an RDBMS.

MDB files are files defined by a file format. This format defines something called a database. There are many libraries and other pieces of software than can read/write mdb files (https://jackcess.sourceforge.io/)

SQLite files are files defined by a file format (https://www.sqlite.org/fileformat.html). You can write code that reads and writes to a SQLite database file without using the library. So long as you follow the format specification, you will produce or be able to read from an aribtrary sqlite file that is produced by any code that implements the specification.

The SQLite library is a reference implementation of the specification as well as some sample logic for reading/writing to the files and using SQL to define the interactions with the file. The SQLite library is not required for this, nor is SQL, nor is the logic for ACID compliance.

SQLite is not an RDBMS and offers almost nothing that an RDBMS (or DBMS) might offer. If you wish to use SQLite files with an RDBMS you either have to build the RDBMS yourself, or find somebody else who's done so.

The more you consider the SQLite a file format, the easier it becomes to work with and understand. The more you try to consider it an RDBMS the less it makes sense.

Just because SQL is involved, doesn't mean it's an RDBMS.
Ok. So each export is a full dump, not a delta on a previous one.

Do you anticipate hitting a wall at some point where the total time becomes a problem?
A lot of people just do not understand how to use URLs and EVERYTHING they visit online is done through Google search. I work in a large school and the majority of the students only use their phones to access the internet and everything is abstracted through apps or Google search bars and they just don't understand URLs.

The key factor esp for video is “does it support thunderbolt” (to which the answer today for these price points is “no”).

For a laptop you want TB 3 for high frame rate video and fast drives. For an iPad Pro, it’s not necessary (and I carry one of these listed devices in my bag with me)

Long live privoxy.

However, I wonder how privoxy users handle TLS.

I use localhost proxies to decrypt TLS before it reaches destination programs as well as encrypt outgoing plaintext HTTP traffic from non-TLS enabled programs.

Using proxies allows me to edit incoming and outgoing traffic where needed.

From the privoxy FAQ:

4.15. How can Privoxy filter Secure (HTTPS) URLs?

Since secure HTTP connections are encrypted SSL sessions between your browser and the secure site, and are meant to be reliably secure, there is little that Privoxy can do but hand the raw gibberish data though from one end to the other unprocessed.

The only exception to this is blocking by host patterns, as the client needs to tell Privoxy the name of the remote server, so that Privoxy can establish the connection. If that name matches a host-only pattern, the connection will be blocked.

As far as ad blocking is concerned, this is less of a restriction than it may seem, since ad sources are often identifiable by the host name, and often the banners to be placed in an encrypted page come unencrypted nonetheless for efficiency reasons, which exposes them to the full power of Privoxy's ad blocking.

"Content cookies" (those that are embedded in the actual HTML or JS page content, see filter{content-cookies}), in an SSL transaction will be impossible to block under these conditions. Fortunately, this does not seem to be a very common scenario since most cookies come by traditional means.

> But the point is that more capital does give you more leverage.

I don't believe it. I do believe that if you have a track record of paying your trading debts and paying fat commissions, they'll let you take on more risk. Worst case, if you've got $5M in an account, you likely have other assets the brokerage can seize.

> They don't look at or even know about any other assets though.

I don't believe they're going to let you highly leverage $10m without checking you out one way or another.
I was thinking the same. Most major urban areas have air quality issues and warnings.
What are your thoughts on MSFT PowerShell?
> But it turns out Kubernetes itself is substantially more complicated to package and deploy than the old solutions

Not really. It's pretty much the same level of complication if you used the same components. You could use all the same tools: chef, puppet, ansible, etc. Once you have it available though other applications are easier to deploy.

At any rate, this tool provides something entirely different. It lets you image the entire data center and reproduce it somewhere else. Not sure how you would've done that before.

Yes exactly: back when I bought that screen it just came out (I think) and was quite a price jump compared to a similar but "only" 34" LG doing 3440x1600 (same pixel size, just a bit less pixels). So I thought the way you just explained and decided to shell out the extra bucks to get a 3840x1600.
I mean, you can still shift gears in an automatic car. I used to do it all the time when I lived in a snowy, hilly city. I've never in my life seen an automatic where the only options were drive, reverse, neutral, and park. There's always some amount of control, even if it's only 1/2/3.

Edit: Upon reflection, I assume your comment meant that newer cars will somehow use engine braking themselves. Since electric brake systems are rare in ice cars, would this be referring to cruise control features?

One quick idea is to limit travel when video conferencing will do. This is also good for carbon footprint, and profit and work life balance.
You might think that, but errors and fluctuations tend to routinely cause high margin businesses such as software to collapse in large numbers. Think of the dotcom bust. I suspect part of the problem is these businesses flourish when the conditions are easy, but many don't have the experience or exceptional margins to survive long enough to adapt when conditions change.
Windows updates can take 10-30 minutes with computer unusable for anything else. 10 seconds of background activity does not sound too bad. Why do you care? You should be able to work on your tasks at this time.
my user-agent (in particular my Linux distribution) was making me unique. To be "less unique" i went to about:config and created these preferences:

replace user_agent the UA of your choice. This made me less trackable according to https://panopticlick.eff.org and https://amiunique.org

It's not a dumb question. You're right. It was just below 300ppm a century ago, and it's a bit over 410ppm now. https://climate.nasa.gov/news/2915/the-atmosphere-getting-a-... is a good overview.

The NOAA has a station on Mauna Loa in Hawaii. It has been continuously collecting CO2 data since 1958 and CO2 has gone from just over 300ppm to the current 414ppm.
I'm not downplaying anybody's work. Many people approach SQLite as something in the RDBMS territory. It's not. Almost all of the confusion I've ever seen related to SQLite comes from starting from that basis. If one simply thinks of it as an alternative to fopen() then it makes very simple and intuitive sense.

The people in this thread seem to be very resistant to this simple clarity of thought, but whatever, they can stay confused and keep coming up with feature comparisons of SQLite vs Redshift vs Elasticsearch or some such.

If one were to draw a spectrum:

file-format:<-x----------------------------->:DBMS

SQLite is the x on this line and .txt files are about the only thing that any further left on it.
If we want to get serious about privacy, browsers are going to need to drastically reduce the number of APIs they expose since many of these are significant fingerprinting indicators.
That's not the case anymore. They built an application level filter. For example, Wikipedia block was due to http header reading. https wasn't also a solution because of hand-shaking part. Even TOR can be blocked this way but it's reachable through obfs4proxy.

Besides that, DNS queries to all servers are blocked if you try to get a blocked site's IP. No hijacking attempt here, as far as I can see.

I routed only Wikipedia through TOR with a browser extension. With this setup not all DNS queries goes through proxy. So I had to take advantage of CoreDNS' dns-over-tls support.

Because people who knows basic networking and also read English are less than a thousandth of the country, their method works very well enough.
probably the idea is to put people (or traincars!) onto a ferry and then go to Helsinki harbour. That's not as hasslefree but still ok, even if it makes the journey a very long one for finns. alternatively, one could build a rail through the baltic states, linking up with the Berlin-Moscow trains in Poland.
For people glad that "crimes will be solved", must be noted that criminals could use it in their benefit also. Just submitting a strange DNA, from a deceased people for example, to be linked with their name. That would taint the database, make they invisible to computers searching (dead people don't commit crimes) and send the hounds far away eventually. If caught you can always blame the lab for mixing your data.

Looks like the modern equivalent to having a new identity after a fake new ID card.
Well, it depends on the process. Some were full dumps, some were deltas pushed up to the final database, sometimes both (this product in particular had a load from file capability that you were supposed to use but some edge cases that were not well-addressed).

No, the time never grew significantly.

For one of the analysis projects, just one step of the analysis was quite time consuming but it would have been that way no matter what. SQLite allowed me to let it grind away overnight (or even over a weekend) on a workstation without tormenting production servers.
The page was written before that usage of the term serverless existed, and anyone reading it would have known exactly how it was meant. The "neo- vs classical-" note was added in 2018 because the distinction was being made.

Is your argument that they should replace "serverless" with "runs without a server?" That seems like a strange position to me.
Yes, it is great for that.

You only have to read the CSV file once, and after that you have a nice set of tables you can query any which way you want.

I use SQLite as an intermediate step between text files and static HTML, for example.

Do you have any evidence to support the perpetuation of this stereotype?
And where you need a reasonably performant relational data store, all those cumbersome gymnastics might be worth it.

But if you're working with a modest dataset where volume and performance aren't a primary concern, working straight in text is infinitely more convenient. There's a reason people do so much bulk data processing in CSV, JSON, or other easily manipulated formats.
