My current cross-distribution method of choice is systemd-networkd. It supports a lot of configuration options and can set up VPN tunnels (like WireGuard).

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Systemd-networkd

Here's a sample config file from my home desktop using a static IP:

$ cat /etc/systemd/network/lan.network

[Match]
Name=enp3s0

[Network]
Address=192.168.100.200/24
Gateway=192.168.100.1
DNS=1.1.1.1
DNS=1.0.0.1

This'll work on any systemd distribution.

netplan is one of those Canonical projects that'll probably disappear in a year or two.

FYI there are various utilities (Hammerspoon and Karabiner Elements, off the top of my head) that can make caps lock act as escape if pressed and released, control if used in conjunction with other keys. This took some getting used to, but thanks to the Touch Bar, I got used to it and now I find it invaluable. YMMV of course.
Additionally, it looks like there may be harmful side-effects from sunscreen. It's probably still better than getting a sunburn, but it's not harm-free either. All other things being equal, a big floppy hat is proabbly better for your health.

The science isn't 100% clear on this as I know; and different sunblocks use different ingredients. This seems a reasonably good/quick overview: https://www.ewg.org/sunscreen/report/the-trouble-with-sunscr...
Great service! Is there a way to link more than 1 bank account? There doesn't seem to be a button to 'Add Account' once I have linked 1 account already.
I solve a lot of problems this way, thanks to OEIS.

How many fromblaz of size N are there? lets count them for N=1 ... N=8 or whatever is tractable to count using naive methods then hope a useful result shows up in OEIS.

OEIS will also return equations for simple linear integer expressions without an OEIS entry.

Unfortunately, the tools for single constants are significantly less good than OEIS.
There are two more posts at https://exsaasperated.com/ (“who are you?” and “our goal”) that further enlighten (though they still don’t cover what will be being built, I guess that’ll come soon).
'Mainly children and teens' may be true, but I don't think it is obvious without evidence. (Intuitively it seems likely that most of the people involved are kids, but most of the $ are spent by adults, and 'most of the whales' depends on the definition of whale.) But IMO there's no magic line between children and adults that makes it okay to harmfully exploit someone's weaknesses provided they're over 18. I know focusing on children makes sense, because it's even harder to justify in that case, and probably more legally dubious. But I hope we're not implicitly saying it is/would be ethically okay provided they only take advantage of adults.
Exactly. At least gambling is regulated.
I have mixed feelings about make. On one hand, it's horrible. On the other hand, it's outlived all the competition, and will certainly be around in decades. And if you are a C programmer, you need to understand make anyway.

I have used Yocto quite a bit and it's nice. But embedded systems tend to be pretty simple.

What I would actually like to see is a modern scripting language like lua or Scheme embedded in the make binary.

I like the idea of an embedded OS for running containers. There is actually quite a bit of support in systemd for that. So it might be as simple as Buildroot with systemd init plus a mechanism for managing system updates.

Nerves is another nice approach: https://www.nerves-project.org/
Working for the wrong side snitchy snitch
Similar story for me (I don't live in Seattle but I go there every few months). Except...last year we did a family trip where we needed for reasons to split the family for a day. So I used my free day to visit the museum with my oldest son. Feeling pretty lucky now to have had that somewhat random chance to visit. Also the bagel place next door wasn't bad.
Agreed regarding route - I didn't mean to imply that all patterns of use were equivalent. I was trying to illustrate that it isn't some bogeyman that will swallow you whole. The drug alone simply cannot explain the issues that are often attributed to it.

My point here is that many drugs have been demonized to a wholly unscientific degree and I often witness otherwise well educated and thoughtful people zealously perpetuating such myths without stopping to really think them through. IMO blaming bad behavior and even addiction on drugs is an easy out which avoids addressing the much more complicated underlying issues. Overdoses, abuse, addiction, and crime seem to me to be largely to blame on other systemic societal problems. As always, correlation does not imply causality.

Holy crap that was fun. Big fan of the history view and the spray effect. Is the cursor lagging behind the mouse intentionally or is it just lag because javascript? I didn't notice anything else lagging, but I don't remember MS Paint having a mass/drag effect like that. FWIW, I found it even easier to write my name with the pencil on a trackpad.

I actually feel like I've been hearing a ton about failures, though they're all preceded by "you never hear about failures", and proceeded by, "and then I took what I learned and succeeded".

What I actually never hear about is stories of trying to build a SaaS, failing, and then just giving up and going back to being a salaryman and retiring after a few decades. It's either that these stories are rare -- which signals that persistence works --, or the stories are just never shared.
I can still log in to Rosencrantz, their VAX, at this moment. For how long? I guess my little donation would not save the place now :(
This is very sad news indeed. For years I have longed to visit this museum.

I hope that they choose to reopen or that it can be purchased and turned into a more sustainable operation. I would gladly donate at least $1000 to such a cause if a viable proposal could be formed...
Added a PR to make it installable on desktop. The build script rewrites the link to a local directory for some reason though
As far as I understand "loot boxes" I don't think they qualify as gambling. At least not any more than buying a pack of Pokemon cards in the 90s.
> But this is irrelevant. Calling someone a sociopath regardless of whether or not you have evidence isn't harassment. You realize that harassment is a crime, right? It's honestly quite astounding that you believe restrictions on speech are this tight.

I have never argued for any restrictions on free speech and yet you continue to say that I have. Why is this confusing for you? I have continued to present evidence for why I think what I think and yet all I hear back is my definitions are wrong and pedantic. What in your opinion is not pedantic and correct? Can you provide the definitions so we can have a fruitful argument instead of going around in circles about what words means and how they can be associated with actions that can cause harm.

I also never called anyone a sociopath. I presented evidence for what I consider to be harassment and sociopathic actions. Here is my exact quote

> Calling someone a sociopath is indeed harassment if you have no compelling evidence to prove your point. Because if you claim someone is a sociopath without providing compelling evidence then you're arguing in bad faith which is a characteristic of sociopathic people.

I don't know who Balaji is or what he does. I'm just inferring his characteristics from his obsession with Taylor and his constant combative language about the free press and journalists (specifically targeting Taylor with his tweets and calls to action to harass her along with calling her a sociopath without compelling evidence). Balaji is using exactly the same tactics Trump uses to discredit his detractors.

I will again re-iterate what I said. This is getting tiresome. If you have an actual argument against anything that I have said then my email is in my profile. I will no longer respond to more replies to my posts in this thread.
Some of the orthodox hats are just so cool. Black. Rakish. Almost streamlined.
I always (mis?)interpreted that as a way to get you to finish putting it on before you went into the sun, so you wouldn't get burned while possibly putting it on (a group of kids, for ex) too slowly while standing in the mid-day sun.
Hey Chris, thanks for visiting. Author here. We actually have several projects we've tried to launch with varying degrees of traction. One of them (https://vistaserv.net) made the rounds here a while ago, actually. We plan to write posts about several of these projects, pick apart what worked and didn't. And, if we come up with resources or techniques that worked well for us, we'll be posting about those, too. Stay tuned :)
> The only interests states have are the interests of their constituents.

So then it shouldn't matter, right? The constituents elect the state legislatures who represent their interests, one of those interests is having US Senators who represent their interests, so their elected representatives appoint those US Senators. If your theory is correct then this should have the exact same result as directly elected Senators, because the states don't have interests separate from those of their constituents.

But it isn't, because elected officials do have their own interests. So then the question is, which process produces Senators that represent their constituents better?

US Senators have a personal conflict of interest in expanding the scope of the federal government in excess of what's in the interest of their constituents, because the federal government is subject to their control, and they personally want to control more stuff. State legislatures have the opposite conflict -- they want more state control, for the same reasons.

If you have directly elected Senators, there is no check on that conflict of interest and federal scope expands without bound. If you have Senators appointed by the state legislatures, these conflicts more or less cancel out. The US Senator still has the personal incentive to increase the scope of the federal government, but now they're directly accountable to the state legislatures with the opposite interest, and the result is closer to the true interest of the constituents.

Meanwhile the House is still directly elected, which is a countervailing check on the power of "oligarchs" or what have you, because a federal law has to pass both.
Right, and using sunscreen on my partially bald head would be icky.
That's not necessary. There is ddcci-dkms which can be built against the running kernel and signed as all the other modules. I use it on both Ubuntu (via shim + grub) and Arch (via direct boot).

The sheer quality of Alyx and their transparency this past few months has helped gain a lot of it back for me at least!
I’ve seen two people mention this for integration tests and that sounds great, but how do you handle system tests? As an example of the difference, my team would use an integration to test a repository class individually and a system test to check everything from the top level api endpoint and down. I think the top level thing is important because it makes sure we are getting the right connection string from our database provider and what not.
Same.
Had a SCC cut out where my hair is thinning above my forehead back in March, but the lockdown put a hold on finding and trying out a nice felt hat - still a month off having to go back into the office.

I wonder if there's a noticable correlation between head cancers and the end of traditional hat wearing?

I had no idea who or what Dataminr was before this, but I recently started a simple Twitter bot [0], and noticed they were crawling every single link I posted multiple times, even though I explicitly disallow in my robots.txt. Their User-Agent just says to contact them, and there didn't seem to be a way to get them to stop, so I just banned their user agent from my servers. It is scary how little information there is about these random companies like Clearview AI or this that just gobble up everything online with no care.

Most people don't have what you'd call "moral reasoning ability".

Amen. I also love it. Maybe it's because of introversion, or having a hard time falling asleep most nights, but I just need my own room and bed. I enjoy cuddling but sometimes it feels like torture.
The escape button is actually quite large. At least on my 2018 MBP, the whole empty left also acts as the escape button so no need to try and hit the escape in the middle of the label.
Mexico only has drug lords because US drug laws fuel their black market.

If you are skeptical of this, there are academic papers on the topic. You could also examine the history books regarding the rise of organized crime there. (For that matter, the rise of organized crime in the US was largely fueled by the prohibition of alcohol as far as I understand it.)
I would say those cards were a kind of gambling too, but the current version is much more refined and dangerous. They've had years to perfect the psychology, and it's a lot easier to lose control when you can instantly give in to the compulsion by clicking a mouse, rather than having to leave the house, go to a store, look a cashier in the eye, etc.

Have y'all forgotten the entire reason the 16th amendment was passed? It wasn't because of fairness, it was because the state legislatures couldn't agree on people to elect. And when they could there were concerns about corruption and seats being sold.

I don't have a touchbar mac to test, but does it work with external non-apple displays? Via Karabiner you can configure keys to change the external display brightness. Works great on a Thunderbolt Display. Completely ignores my Dell / LG.

The main reason why I think this wouldn't work is because in the display properties there's no brightness slider for non Apple external displays. There is one for Apple displays.
I'm almost positive your problems were caused by NetworkManager. I usually disable and blacklist it everywhere (or wipe entirely if the distribution dependency tree allows it), and my systems never behave in this unpredictable way.

It tries to be helpful and rewrites network configuration files to align them with its own configuration.

Threadripper is the consumer line, epyc is for servers.
Thanks for this contrary opinion. :) I have been using a Touch Bar MBP for about 18 months. I have my Touch Bar configured for function keys all the time. I touch type fairly quickly, so I rarely look at the keyboard. I spend all day in the terminal, Emacs, Vim, or my browser (which I navigate using the Vimium extension). Unlike you, I run into problems with the Touch Bar on a daily basis:

* I still hit the function keys at least a half dozen times a day by accident.

* I still manage to not register fast key presses to the Touch Bar at least half a dozen times a day by accident.

* About once a month, it seems, the Touch Bar gets stuck on its volume or brightness widget. Previously the only way I found to fix this was to reboot. Last night I may have discovered that touching other, seemingly blank parts of the Bar may get it out of this state, so at least the Touch Bar may no longer force me to reboot.

Text completion on my laptop usually slows me down, but in any case, my editor offers that for me inline, without me having to look down at the keyboard. I know all the shortcuts to delete files in Finder, comment out lines, rename variables, control volumes, change tabs, and control text formatting.

All this is to say that I guess I am not the target demographic for the Touch Bar—and, since all the new MBPs seem to have it, I guess I'm no longer the demographic for the MacBook Pro? I am inclined to agree with the comment from 'GeekyBear that I am probably in the vast minority of users, and most people will find use for the Touch Bar.

I am glad you find the Touch Bar useful. For my part, I hate it, and it's one factor that's got me looking for the exits on macOS.

I would like to second your suggestion to add haptic feedback to the Touch Bar. I use BetterTouchTool for this, and it helps me to know when I have accidentally hit the Touch Bar.

Also, I hate the Touch Bar, but Sampler looks really cool.

Liviu Dragnea (from Romania) serving time in prison is a good example of us having a functional justice system.

While the arrangement has been very beneficial for us, let's not forget that the EU does need a market to sell inferior products at a premium and they do need our seasonal workers and our educated as well, who would otherwise flee to the US and elsewhere.

I cannot speak for other countries, but seeing the vitriol here gives me a deja vu of the anti-Romanians Brexit campaign.

You know, it was hilarious seeing the UK begging us to send them workers in this Covid crisis ;-)

Neither or both. Threadripper has high-clocks (like consumer) and high-core counts (like servers). It'd be for "workstations".
It doesn't, but I was referring to your more broader statement of "The nation of today is not isolated from it's past." Given the current climate of the last two months, it just reeks of dogma.
I love Paint .NET, but I wince every time I go to their website (which is not paint.net) to download it: the download button[1] gives me strong "clicking this will give you a shareware virus from 2005" vibe. It is also very sketchy that their website (getpaint.net) redirects to another site (dotpdn.com) for the actual download page.

I power through these feelings and download it anyway, knowing what wonderful software awaits on the other side, but it's really hard to shake those thoughts.
