Why is it wrong to kill animals (humanely) if you don't have to? A cow will live and die blissfully unaware that it's purpose is to be eaten by humans. Is a death by a captive bolt gun worse than death by coyote or disease?

Of course the discussion should be around the conditions that livestock spend their time living in because animals obviously are "happier" when living in natural conditions, but as far as I am aware animals do not have any preference on when or how they die (as long as it is not painful and drawn out).

Another data point: I was an intern at Google last year and they gave most of the interns Pixelbooks. It worked fine for development (granted, development consisted of SSHing into a dev box and using a web-based IDE).
Ex BeOS developers are the core team behind Fuchsia (Travis Geiselbrecht and Brian Swetland). Travis wrote NewOS which was adapted to be the Haiku kernel (and Travis still hangs around the Haiku IRC channels every now and then). I wouldn't be suprised to see Haiku R2 transition to Fuchsia kernel since they share the same DNA.

I'd argue that it is built around aspiring vegetarians. If you're used to eating meat at almost every meal it can be intimidating to try to plan and prepare meatless meals.

Nuclear is expensive - but it's cheap compared to the costs of climate change and environmental destruction. The minuscule amount of waste it generates and the tiny land-use requirements per kWh - it's almost magical.

>we'll have to wait a while for people like you to clue in how an optimized renewable-only grid

I'm willing to be clued-in. This isn't an ideological fight for me. I have nothing against solar and wind. I want what you want. Ideally, if you could point me to an example of 100% or near 100% renewable smart grid that is running primarily on wind and solar - the discussion would be over.

Problem is, there isn't one. For all the billions that have been poured into solar and for all the talk about smart-grids, battery and kinetic storage, and molten salt batteries and all kinds of exotic things - you cannot point out ONE example. And it isn't like we aren't trying. Poor Germany is desperately throwing out their billions of surplus hoping it would happen, but the best they could do is 2060!! WTF. ITER, the cold fusion reactor, is supposed to be trialled by 2035[1]!!!. Is that not insanity? And they are signing multi-billion/multi-decade deals with authoritarian Russia to build pipelines for their natural gas at the same time they are decommissioning their nuclear plants!!!

What is going on here?!?!?! What am I missing!?! Please tell me, because I honestly feel I am being gaslighted.

Here an up-to-date energy mix of my home province of Ontario: http://live.gridwatch.ca/home-page.html

Hydro and Nuclear make my province carbon-free today.. not 2050. Today. But we're building windmills (and consequently natural gas plants to provide base-load) because people have been told we need wind to fight climate change. I don't understand what's happening. It feels like religion.

> Here's a question: Is it immoral for lions to eat zebras?

Lions must eat meat to survive. We can choose not to eat meat and still survive. That's a morally relevant distinction. If you are arguing that because meat-eating is natural then it must be moral, I would direct you to the appeal to nature fallacy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appeal_to_nature

> Here's another question: Imagine the entire Earth is actually a factory farm for aliens. Every time someone dies, their body is actually secretly used for alien food. Would you want Earth to cease to exist?

No, but I fail to see how this runs counter to the moral claim that humans eating meat is bad. The correct analogy to your hypothetical would be to imagine that all animals live their full lives and are only consumed upon their death. It would not be morally wrong to eat them then.

> Or perhaps a closer analogy, imagine super-powerful aliens take over Earth and terraform Mars and Venus, which they use as human farms. Maybe 30 billion humans live on Earth, Mars, and Venus, leading full lives with everything provided to them that a human wants, but killed at 18 years of age. Alien human-rights activists wish to stop the humans from breeding, and let the population fall to several thousand. They will devote the planets to instead growing Alien Corn.

This analogy is not close at all. Animals do not lead full lives with everything provided to them that they could want. The vast majority of farmed animals live horrific lives that are not worth living and are killed very young. Chickens, for example, are artificially grown to reach a large size very quickly and then slaughtered shortly after.

The correct analogy to this hypothetical would be a so-called "humane" or "ethical" farm where the animals are free to live in a close-to-natural environment before being slaughtered. I would agree that that is much better than factory farms, and perhaps even morally acceptable if the animals' lives are worth living and they would not have existed otherwise. But, this is not how most farmed animals live. Not even close.

Is there a hardware write up anywhere? Would be very interested to read up on it.
My top-level comment was trying to ask for any evidence whether the downtime was related to a wider network issue (eg. BGP, backbone) or if it was specific to (part of) the IBM cloud.

The link was just a data point, not evidence of anything in particular.
So I tried working this out on paper. The simplest variation I could think of:

- split the numbers into a top and bottom half (from now on: prefix and suffix) (linear time)

- make an unordered suffix trie (linear time). First level has suffixes as, second level has prefixes

- make a (recursively sorted) ordered prefix set, and a (recursively sorted) ordered suffix set

- initiate an ordered prefix trie, but only the first level for now - that is, don't insert suffixes yet (linear time over the ordered prefix set)

- in order of the ordered suffix set, walk over the suffix trie and for each prefix leaf insert the parent suffix into the appropriate prefix bucket in the prefix trie (linear time)

- now we can walk the prefix trie in order and combine prefix and suffix again (like in the article)

This feels like it should have comparable computational complexity - as far as I can see the only real difference is that it recursively sorts twice as often (once for the prefix set and once for the suffix set). Either way it still seems to have horrible memory overhead, requiring a trie for each level of recursion and all that.

Then I realized that if we are at the base case where prefix/suffix can be sorted with a counting sort, then the above can actually be simplified to LSB radix sort where we sort the suffixes into a temporary secondary array, and the prefixes from the secondary array into the original array (I think we can safely say that using a plain array of n elements has both lower memory overhead and better computational performance than a trie with n leaves). But... couldn't I then optimize the entire recursion into an LSB radix sort? Which would imply it must have... worse time complexity than Kirkpatrick-Reisch sorting? Wait what? Where did I go wrong then?
British Aerospace delivered an anti-radiation / air-defense suppression missile called ALARM in 1990: it is capable of flying up to 40,000 feet, deploying a parachute and then waiting for the target radar to come online as it floats down.

At that time, it initiates a secondary boost motor and attacks.

We didn’t used to call this a suicide drone; we called it a loitering munition.

Tell it to the Zulus who got massacred by early machine-guns or the Congolese who couldn't successfully rebel against the atrocities of King Leopold's machine-gun-armed forces, the atrocities that inspired Heart of Darkness. Even before the opposing side caught up (around 1965, by my reckoning) the effect of the machine-gun was precisely the opposite of "exposure to battle and disease [being] greatly diminished". Some would argue especially before that time.

The fear is very real, not about emasculation, but a loss of identity in a society where "you are your job". I have seen this first hand in both people who weren't "essential" during COVID shutdowns (to their horror), and people who were deemed "essential" but it was, in their words, "bullshit".

Automation is rapidly accelerating into the wall that is identity beliefs at scale, and there is evidence that these belief systems are fairly rigid, making adaption to change challenging to say the least.

The revolution won't be the automation. It'll be in us accepting that the job wasn't who we were/are and it's okay to let it go (caveat systems are in place to ensure quality of life is provided for at an agreed upon floor). It's just a job.
No one is going to stop development for fear the other will have the advantage.

For controls on this to work, there would have to be a treaty governing development among the big nuclear powers —then they with their big sticks dictate the rules to the rest.

In the vacuum of that everyone will feel they have to develop or get left behind.

Additionally something like this (the enabling of political “decapitations”) is only seriously countered by MAD. So nothing would keep Colombia from developing their own and taking out Maduro for example if they were reasonably sure a better alternative would rise in VZ.

People are listening. Look at Ag Funder. They invest in agricultural tech.

There have been advances in automating aspects of agriculture. Tractors that can drive themselves, irrigation systems based on soil moisture, etc. One of the problems is that small farms are less and less viable since the 80s and have been consolidated under large companies. There's not much incentive to develop solutions to small farm issues when the big farms source labor for a couple cents per pound. Even when the solutions are available, they will price out the small farms.

And their logo is too similar to Stardock's - I thought this was an actual Stardock product to begin with (because this is exactly the kind of program Stardock would make). I downloaded it, but I won't install it - there's something fishy about this whole thing.

A missile than can fly from a home far away, hover (or really probably loiter, flying in circles) not too far away from a target area, then accelerate to 5000 mph after receiving a specific target. The benefit being the lag between targeting to delivery being much shorter meaning higher mission success rates, lower collateral damage, and just more flexibility.

memset() is bytewise, the only reason it works with -1 is all the bits are set in every bit width. 0xff repeated still ends up being -1 at int size (0xffffffff). But the byte 0x2a repeated will be something more like 0x2a2a2a2a, which is not equivalent to 0x2a.

The problem with nginx based setups is that one wrong container option (label, env var, etc ...) may cause a syntax error in the nginx configuration file and then nginx won't start, so all services will be down. Loved apache, loved nginx, but I can see traefik is the only http server on my tech blog for the last years...

Nginx is made to load a configuration: you don't have the auto-configuration that comes with service discovery. Service discovery is doable with a standard HTTP API through /var/run/docker.sock or /var/run/podman/podman.sock in more advanced systems.

As such, service discovering HTTP servers are more reliable because it's built with a service isolation from the ground up: if one service has some poor value then it won't work, but it won't block the other services.

Nginx is too far behind now, they might have some service discovery module, but even then the thing that happens when your configuration autogenerates (like with snapshot testing) is that you still have to read the configuration it generates. Traefik offers a great dashboard for this so it's even more pleasant than reading a configuration file that you didn't even write ;)

For sure, I bet that in a patch into something like CapRover (or your own solution), changing nginx to traefik would end up removing quite a lot of code ;)

I'm not really sure what you mean "acheiving ZDD", ZDD is complicated any time there's a data schema migration, not to mention that containers deployment traditionally is "delete a container: KILL a process" and "create another one like cattle". uWSGI for example, could gracefully renew every worker process on SIGHUP, but re-creating the uWGSI process in another container defeats that. Maybe you have some kind of blue green deployment, maybe even canary, in this case I wonder if basing a container platform on configuration files such as those for nginx would really make it to ZDD. Would love to read more about your setup
