Also (not excusing the bad design) 0 is often the success error code in Unix for the shell and 1 or something else is often error.

So it’s not entirely without precedent, but it’s still an unnecessary and confusing inversion for true and false.
If you think applications work on NFS by just expecting general Unix filesystem semantics you’re in for a surprise.

The fact you’re not having trouble just means either the application writers put in the effort to properly support it, or your use case is simple enough not to run into problems.
It depends on where you're buying and/or how much you're borrowing. If married you can borrow up to $750k for write-off purposes. Being close to this means with today's interest rates you'll be paying about $20k-$25k or so in interest payments the first 10 years or so. Couple this with property tax and/or income taxes maxed at 10k and now you're around $35k or so. And perhaps you've made some charitable donations and work from home and now you're looking at $40k. So you need to be on the higher end for it beat out the standard deduction.

Honestly, the tax cuts really benefit people in this situation. Your effective tax rate is much lower than before and although you only get a piece of the property/income tax write-offs, it might make for lower effective taxes.

In terms of buying VS renting, although I bought a home I still think renting makes a whole lot of sense for a lot of people. Buying a home is expensive in terms of furnishing it, customizing it, etc. But also in selling it and related expenses.

Imagine your home can be sold for 900k. Around 6% ($54k) of that is going to be taken away from an agent. You'll probably be buying a new home so you have to factor in closing costs for the new mortgage, assume $15k and then moving expenses, etc and you're looking at $75k-$80k. So unless your home has appreciated to cover these costs, you're losing potentially significant money. A renter doesn't have to face this at all and likely pays less in rent than the mortgage and property taxes would be.

Buying a home makes sense if you plan on living in it 10 years or more in many cases I believe. By then you'll likely get back anything you've put into it and have built decent equity. The best part of buying is that as time goes on, your monthly payment begins to look like a bargain as rents and home prices continue to rise - once again, about 10 years in.

I think they became worthless ironically because they were so treasured. Previously the good China may have had some special occasion remembered, some social importance where they would be brought out. Being so guarded they were never used and took up space and thus never acquired any memories for the newer generations, just being a social cargo cult tautology of valued because they were valued.

Toys in the original unopened box may be worth more but that isn't why there was demand for them in the first place. Unless there is some sort of hilarious misprint, defect, or very questionable concept (accidentally looking very sexual, looking like a reference to some notorious event) thaf makes it a curiosity in itself, the toys were valued because of their use.

I initially assumed the challenge was to fit the entire banana on the bread in a single layer; I am disappointed that problem was not solved, but it seems like it should be a relatively trivial extension of the package provided (produce a packing for [N, M] slices of banana, pick the number of slices which covers the bread without any left over pieces).

(Of course, as someone who does not eat banana sandwiches, I have no idea of such an end is even desirable.)

USPS is a service, not a business. Do we look at how profitable the US military is or schools?

That being said, USPS used to be profitable until Congress decided that they pre-fund pensions for all new hires (1). They went from making a couple billion a year to losing $5 billion a year. Your statements have no truth in them. Republicans love to actively sabotage profitable and useful public services and then try to defund them by claiming they don't work.

As a bootstrapped business owner working out of a rural and very republican community, I'm disgusted by the lies and misinformation people use to try to destroy the USPS. It's literally in our constitution.

We took a flight to South Carolina to stay at a cheap motel with a grubby pool patio, where we set up shop with our welder's goggles - so cheap, we brought a huge pile for giving to kids who might not know they were super lucky astronomers that day.

The thing that really made the trip worth making was the /incredible/ temperature drop. It was as though outer space was reaching down to give the slightest of taps on the shoulder "I'm always right there, no matter how bright blue it is".

If you're an armchair astronomer - I heavily encourage you to make the trip to be at ground zero of a total eclipse if you find yourself fortunate enough to be able to. I'm not sure I'll need to do it twice in this life, but wow, what an incredible event.
> If you were a machine learning model (or my wife), then you would tell me to just cut long rectangular strips along the long axis of the banana, but I’m not a sociopath.

Ignoring that you called your wife a sociopath for the moment... I'm one for peanut butter and pickle sandwiches, personally. I've made some danged optimal ones, too, slicing them lengthwise. Pickles are interesting because you can bend them and make a curved cut with a straight knife, and the slice lays flat. And then your packing problem has an added constraint because the slices are beveled. You need a smaller number of slices, so picking the proper thickness is actually the hardest part. Of course, I eat my mistakes, so the reinforcement phase is rather busted.

Slice 1 in your final packing typifies my complaint with slicing on the round: it will fall out of the sandwich. This is especially true with pickles. Lengthwise slices result in a more structurally resilient sandwich.

OTOH bananas do have an easy mode: smash and spread. If your wife was actually a sociopath, that's probably what she'd do. But maybe just don't badmouth your wife; our industry has a misogyny problem and that's an ugly pattern.
> But he is right, almost all the dev tools we used are by surveillance capitalists only further entrenching our reliance on them, think React, Pytorch, React Native, or even K8S etc.

What? The source of all these things is open. I do not rely on any of these companies when using these tools now. Of course if I use them in conjunction with their cloud services I am dependent on say Amazon or Google. But the open nature of their software provides me with everything I need to use it without the dependence on said companies.
Your critique is mostly blind, unbalanced tribalism.

> These tools only benefit the the big tech companies and we are going down a path of no return.

No they are free to everyone. You could use them for whatever you like.

> During the holiday season, my rural post office will get multiple semi truck loads per day, just of Amazon packages to deliver. Don't discount the massive volume of deliveries from amazon.

Except, when we do napkin math, it's costing USPS more money to deliver each of those packages than they collected! They would literally make money by not delivering packages.

They aren't making money off delivering your package, no - they lose money. If they were making money, they would not need billions of capitol injection routinely.

The new UI is awful. I've been trying to figure out how to like it in the previews but the bookmarks are just totally broken and I can't figure out how you're supposed to use it. I just want some pages I can go to easily. The saved tab group thing where it randomly loses them is not a substitute.

I really like git push workflows (Heroku / Dokku). I would use https://github.com/dokku/dokku-scheduler-kubernetes , but it doesn't support Dockerfiles, and I need Dockerfiles for a few of the applications that I want to run.

It would be great if there were some docs on how to integrate Hyscale with, for example, a Github action to enable enable deployment on a push to master. It wouldn't be too difficult for me to set up, but having a "right way" to do it written by the maintainers would give me much more confidence.

Why are apps pushed so hard to users though? If they are so clearly superior users would seek to download them, right? They don't, overwhelmingly so. The average user downloads 0 apps per month.

This subthread started (before I got involved) with "If the F22 turns around and aborts mission that's mission accomplished for the drone operator." The goalposts have not moved at all.

I think there's an impedance mismatch between some folks who assume "countering" an F-22 or B-1B means shooting it down, and others who assume "countering" it means making it cost-ineffective to achieve your strategic aims. For the latter folk, having your manned aircraft constantly plink away at your forces and shoot down your drones is still mission-accomplished as long as your drones are doing a lot more damage than your forces are receiving.

The aircraft-carrier vs. battleship debate is again relevant. The two times that an aircraft carrier and a battleship got into a direct fight (HMS Glorious vs. Scharnorst, and USS Gambier Bay vs. IJN Yamato), the aircraft carrier got reamed, and sunk in short order. But this didn't matter, because aircraft carriers and battleships almost never got into direct fights. There was Pearl Harbor, Taranto, and Malaya before the belligerents realized that sinking battleships was pointless, and then there was Sibuyan Sea and Okinawa when there were no more targets left. In between were a long string of carrier vs. carrier battles where the battleships were used as AA escorts or moved to shore bombardment & convoy escort duties. Similarly, why bother countering a few smart bombs when your drone swarm terminates every enemy soldier on the battlefield within an hour and makes any attempt at interference suicidal for manned aircraft?

Ways to detect it may come out slowly, like computer bugs, with some entities having incentives to research them heavily and not release them.

Anecdotally, I find that Amazon shipping (with prime) is always the fastest in a major urban area. My USPS and FedEx packages have often been delayed by several days, but Amazon mostly delivers on time with next day or two day shipping. Some “rarer” items have longer shipping times but I find they are still accurate.

Also, not all AWS follow the same deletion semantics. Example: S3 buckets. The report as being deleted somewhat quickly, but their name may not be available again for hour or so.

In this case the delete will appear to succeed, but the recreation, if done with the same name, may fail.

In my experience google is pretty good for fresh and current data. If you try to find things from some years back, results are overwhelmed by irrelevant current results —even setting custom dates doesn’t help much. Seems it’s biased for the present as well as content from big players (obviously), but to the detriment of smaller outfits.

You can monetize them, either you will choose paid option (user have to pay before install) or through in-app products. Another options would be to create some kind of backend and charge a subscription for that.
Probably not, but it's a tradeoff between integration and modularity/testability. Take a look at slide 23: https://ntms.org/files/Jan2018/Microwave_Radio_Cowtown_2018....

Can you build that all onto one board? Yeah sure, after it's proven and set in stone.
Same here - macOS, Safari, and I've never heard my fans spin so loudly before. I wonder what causes it.
As I’ve said, tradeoffs. The raspis I’m talking about run about $100 for a complete system. Not nothing, but accessible to many people in Apple’s target demographic. They’re ideally suited for what you’re aiming at.

One example jumps to mind - wasn’t Facebook running a side loaded VPN that was doing some unsavory things until Apple banned it? I think the place to look for that sort of thing right now would be companies abusing the enterprise development system.
It's the same general idea but applied to AOT compilation.
The usual question would be: how would one build such a structure. And why should someone create the infrastructure to do so in the first place?
I was in the totality back in 2017 in Oregon. It was incredible. The darkness in the sky was not like midnight, but more like dusk/twilight where the sun has been behind the horizon for 30 minutes. In terms of nature, I was in a very rural area when it happened(near Madras OR) and all animal sounds stopped completely, my Daughter who was two, got really sleepy and fell asleep in her chair during the totality which was very strange. But the experience I will never forget is how the sun looked when in totality, white flames from the corona licking out past the moons profile, clearly visible to the unaided eye, it was something I will never forget for the rest of my life.
No it does not, Firefox still uses PDF.js. This is extremely easy to verify by just right clicking and hitting "Inspect Element" on any PDF opened in Firefox (and also you can then just load PDF.js into Chrome on a page, load a pdf into that, and verify the same behavior.)
Making "profit" the benchmark for a government service, plus saddling the service with a pension prefunding requirement that takes it from profit to loss, is a manufactured crisis.

I don't mean literally generating hspec from yaml -- I mean more like operational "source map" support. For example if I look at a pod taking up more CPU than I expect in a dashboard somewhere, I should be able to trace it back to the hspec file.

Honestly, I really miss Edge's EPUB support. Like really miss it. There's a lot of things I think browsers should not do. WebUSB? WebMIDI? Burn these things with fire. Do not connect the web browser to hardware.

Web browsers are supposed to actually be document viewers. HTML is a document format. I am 100% on-board with web browsers also reading PDFs and EPUBs.

I know Mozilla is hurting for manpower right now, but I'd drop dead with excitement if EPUB support came to Firefox.
> The very fact that USPS receives funding by Tax Payers, but also still charges the same tax payers money to use services, and still manages to lose billions of dollars every year is a modern marvel all in it's own right.

Just like courts, building permits, transfer stations, vital records, DMVs, passports, and every other government service that charges fees (including the IRS itself!).

> For larger packages over a few pounds, it's already insanely cheaper to ship packages via UPS or FedEx

USPS rates are high for anything over 12 inches on a dimension. Compare the prices for shipping a small package and you will see why many small businesses depend on USPS, especially ones unable to negotiate favorable contracts with UPS/Fedex.
You don't think the global pandemic currently in progress has anything to do with it?
