I'm sure everyone has different experiences, but it's been super stable for me. The biggest issues come with the software upgrades and certain configurations may have issues, however the Xpenology forums have massive support and everyone lists how their upgrade experience went across multiple platforms (VM and bare metal). It was worth it for me.
I'm also a Cal Poly graduate (computer science) who learned Racket (called PLT Scheme back when I was a Cal Poly student) from Professor John Clements (https://www.brinckerhoff.org), who was involved with PLT Scheme. We used the textbook Programming Languages: Application and Interpretation, which can be found at http://cs.brown.edu/courses/cs173/2012/book/. I'm sorry to say that at the time I took the course, I didn't appreciate it. I loved coding in C and I thought Scheme was weird. But after taking programming languages from Professor Clements, I then took his compilers course. Our first assignment was to implement a Scheme interpreter in a week. We were allowed to use any programming language we wanted. Since I was tired of Scheme, my lab partner and I decided to implement the interpreter in C++. Big mistake....we spent 40 hours on that project, building complex class inheritance hierarchies and not being able to take advantage of many of the features that made writing an interpreter in Scheme a relative breeze. I never complained about writing code in Scheme again.

When I moved on to UC Santa Cruz for grad school, my experience with Professor Clements' programming languages and compilers courses made my required graduate programming language course with type theory expert Cormac Flanagan a relatively smooth experience; going from Scheme to Haskell wasn't too difficult. Sometime afterwards I got bit very hard by the programming languages bug. I'm now working on a side project in Common Lisp, and interestingly enough, I'm actually teaching a programming language paradigms course at San Jose State University this semester where I'll be teaching my students Scheme, Prolog, and Smalltalk, as well as other goodies such as the lambda calculus.

All of this would have not been possible had I not been taught Scheme and functional programming by Professor John Clements. If he is reading this, I thank him immensely for the impact his courses have had on my career. I just wish I had appreciated the courses back when I took them, but over a decade later, I strongly appreciate them, and they're among the most valuable courses I had at Cal Poly.
For a lot of people, a home lab isn't just to provide themselves a service, they actively enjoy the setup and management.

So I think your final line is more personal preference than a lesson most people with home labs need to realise.
Walking Away from Copper
This would have been PERFECT for when my wife and I were searching for nice German/English names. We finally settled on Lotte, which despite being German in its pronunciation is perfect for my daughter (who is also perfect, in case you were interested).

Really cool project!
I didn't even realize that the "scary" yellow prompt was related to code signing. For me it was just what happens when you run an executable from the internet.

Do anyone pays attention to this? There is a lot of legitimate software you can't install without clicking through. 7-zip is just one of them.
It's an interesting take. From my perspective, however, what you call egalitarian I call an oppression of individual expression.

I've never been unhappy with anything I've bought from them.

If you want a lot of 3.5" internal hot-swap drives, you may need to find a case with 5.25" bays, which is getting harder to find.
This is great! SOOO useful to be able to do mounts w/o fuse, w/o kernel extension, w/o root. This is a HUGE UX thing, specially for macs.

Fuse is a really great idea & project, but sadly today impls require a lot of install steps in some platforms, and some have painful bugs/UX. Amazing if we can mount VFSes from Go without those hurdles.
Regulations designed to protect people from themselves are inherently socialist... The fact that these regulations actually end up creating a moat around the elites (by locking regular people out of opportunities) is inherently communist.

This is exactly what the Soviet political elites did to keep living the good life at the expense of their poor citizens; all under the pretext of protecting people from themselves.

That's terrible. There's nothing worse than losing data.

I'm working on this exact problem at the moment: a dashboard to keep track of your backups to check they never fail. https://backupshq.com

* Get notified when backups fail or take too long via email, slack, webhook, etc.

* Run your backup scripts and tools with an open source agent, which takes cares of reporting backup results to the dashboard.

* Alternatively, write your own integration with our API to report backup results and send logs yourself.

I'm hoping to launch privately soon, I'd love to hear what you think. We haven't made any pricing decisions yet, but definitely want to give free credit to homelabbers!
I can watch pretty much anything with a spaceship in it.
You put it a spaceship, it's like i'm 60 IQ points dumber (if we believed that IQ points were a real thing and the intelligence can be measured on a one dimensional objective scale). If there's a spaceship I will tolerate bad dialogue, cardboard characters, absurd plots even absurd lack of plots. I'm willing to give you spaceship show makers a budget of 60 IQ points worth of stupid, but why? why do you need it?
My vimtutor experience was redoing it in the subway for a week. That got some muscle memory in :)
You're right that both of those things help OCaml out a lot. But just look at all the powerful stuff people do with Scala and implicits.

All of that could be done with OCaml: typeclasses, parameterized behavior, configurable functionality, testing.

All of that stuff can be done explicitly right now, but I really do think there's something powerful about changing an include/import and having all your code change behavior.

For example, you could have two logging modules: one that logs to stdout the other that logs json to elasticsearch. Simply change an import, and the logging behavior of your entire app changes.

You gotta admit there's something just really awesome about that.
Very interesting. Good to hear.
If you agree that copyright is less-than-optimal, but you don’t think that civil disobedience of copyright laws is helpful or ethical, then what suggestion do you have for reforming the system? To my mind, “less-than-optimal” is an understatement of the problems with the copyright model, particularly as applied to libraries and academic research.
I must have misread something, but those numbers don't make any sense. That article must be misunderstanding what the contract actually is.

F18s cost only a little more than a third of that per unit.
Wait what?

You're arguing we should have a social safety net so when some blue collar worker loses 100% of their retirement savings because they invested in a scam start-up, they're covered?
Trying to calculate revenue per user in this way assumes that they started the year with 1.2M paid users.

Napkin math, assuming the user acquisition was evenly distributed throughout the year, came out to maybe $160/user.

$1,000 LTV would mean that each user stays a user for ~6 years.

I'm not sure if that's a reasonable assumption or not. Just sharing numbers because I was curious how much the average user might be paying, after seeing the discussion above.
The best way to understand and use vim is to learn the "grammar" of vim and then practice using it until you have muscle memory for common movement and editing commands.

This stackoverfow post explains how the vi/vim "grammar" works:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1218390/what-is-your-mos....

A fun way to develop the muscle memory for the normal mode movement keys is to play Nethack (https://www.nethack.org/) with the number_pad option set to 0 so that hjkl are used for movement, the same basic keys for vi/vim normal mode (https://nethackwiki.com/wiki/Options#number_pad).
How your membership is organized in an LLC matters too. I assumed pass through, no revenue no taxes no filing, but apparently in my state a two member LLC is a partnership for tax purposes and requires filing.
He's to blame for popularizing a lot of the unit testing insanity IMO, yes.
A good, meandering, interesting blog post that was fun to read, even if I didn't get some larger meaning from it. More a "slice of life" from a culture different enough that the slice in question is fascinating. What's the experience and view of the military from someone in a country that has mandatory service? What parts sound similar and different to the popular culture view of serving in the US (well, views, there's a lot of them).

Hate to be that guy, but why is this Medium post paywalled? I don't think it makes sense for an enterprise blog that also advertises career opportunities.

This might depend on where you live...my server pulls 180W average with 11 hard drives (10 reg, 1 SSD). That works out to ~$150/yr at my electricity rate of $0.0816/kwh.
This feels all to familiar to a Java developer and similar to what they do in k8s with the genericapiserver component but not to the full extent described in the article. It's interesting to see how the service container pattern appears in other language ecosystems. The nice thing about go's module system is that it feels like a monorepo without the tooling feeling separate to the language. So splitting up a repo into different repos doesn't come with the versioning hell when working with maven
well, at least software-wise I guess there shouldn't be an issue; android already supports multi-tasking, and scaling to that size (not sure what they call it -- but my samsung floating app feature seems to be generally well supported, and most apps scaling properly)

So it's just an issue of whether consumers will actually go for it.. which is exactly the incentive/disincentive you want.
It would be interesting if there were a reversal in decision in the law served to curb patent abuse by the pharmaceutical industry. The intention here is not to hinder innovation, but to further invention, I think the inventor would welcome derivatives.
I've had a lot of thoughts similar to yours. I especially wonder about the linear qualities we often attribute to life and death, and potentially rebirth. We often assume that if we are somehow reborn, it will be in the future. But what if I am reborn while I still exist, just somewhere else? After all, time is simply another dimension, right? At least, as we humans understand it.

Your comparison to computing, functions, and shared memory is very good at describing that. But to go even further, since computers as we know them still run in a linear fashion with regards to time (forward), what if all consciousness across all time and space is just one "thing?"
Fair point.

My log machine uses six 16TB SATA drives configured as ZFS mirrors, so effectively 48TB of storage, which I back up to S3.

SAS drives are better but the current setup meets my needs.
Another fun game to play that focuses a bit more on vim itself: https://vim-adventures.com/

I definitely second playing nethack, whether you want to improve your vim skills or not.
Did Messi really send his Barcelona transfer request by fax?
The biggest error in early auto policy, in my opinion, was the emphasis on straight-line speed over continuous flow.

The first cars were not that fast and did not accelerate easily, so it makes some sense that there would be advocacy to get every last bit out of the engine through highway design. Add to that the requisite hype for a new, impactful technology and you get the approach that paved the earth.

But we have gradually come to realize the point of traffic calming, roundabouts, transit-oriented design and other tools that make people stigmergically decide on appropriate trip plans and driving parameters.
Well there is capnproto support for Java and therefore should be decent on kotlin
Does anyone have any suggestions on a platform to facilitate Tip #4: Idling in a Videoconference Room? Zoom is the obvious choice, but wonder if anyone has built something better for this use case?
That's true of full-trust (i.e., "Win32") software and that's why AppContainer (i.e., "UWP") was introduced. Moving the Windows software ecosystem to adopt AppContainer/UWP more pervasively is still a work in progress, but surely moving away from everything requiring admin privileges is prerequisite to any such more fine-grained sandboxing?
As someone who has come back to faith in God, what helped me greatly is finding the eastern Orthodox Church (which is much different then fire and damnation of the Baptist sort (not to paint too broad of a brush)). The ethos is continually following - as much as we can - the teachings of Christ for reconciliation to God - we judge ourselves, foremost, for Christ did not condemn us.

This means condemnation of others and their salvation is up to God, and we are to help others come back to His eternal love.

Many will try everything but the love of Christ (speaking of self again) in existential dread with psychedelics, the temptations of the world (which never seem to fill - whether money, material things, power, or partners), self-actualization, yoga, ego-death as nirvana, gnosticism, energy work - but are drawn away from a 2,000 year history of the teachings from Christ to Apostle to the modern Orthodox Church, based on a previous 5,000+ year history of law which was fulfilled in Christ.

The west (speaking for myself) tends to only be exposed to Protestant and Roman Catholic doctrine, and offshoots of Protestant such as puritanism, Jehova's Witness, LDS/Mormons, etc.

Short video on ethos
https://youtu.be/ySgNWCuxjNQ?t=118

This means being humble, no ego of self, thankfulness in all things, charity and honoring thy neighbor, giving to others selflessly (for life is a give from God), and noting continually ones shortcoming, and thus not condemning others their own that we tell ourselves we perceive.

https://www.oca.org/orthodoxy/the-orthodox-faith/spiritualit...
"Every act of a Christian must be a spiritual act. Every thought must be spiritual, every word, every deed, every activity of the body, every action of the person. This means that all that a person thinks, says and does must be inspired and guided by the Holy Spirit so that the will of God the Father might be accomplished as revealed and taught by Jesus Christ the Son of God."

I think the result is still mostly the same, just a bit more organized. That's definitely progress though, thanks for pointing it out!
> … if you don't do what you're told … you won't keep the job.

Whether you keep your job is determined by who your constituents vote for, not by lobbyists. Perhaps voters are sometimes too easily swayed by campaign spending, but that's a separate issue from lobbying.

> It's weird that you're even combining this with a defense of cash payments to politicians from special interests.

You misread. Spending more on your presentation can make it more persuasive because (up to a point, as I said) the end result is better researched and more polished in general compared to what can be produced on a shoestring budget. I was not suggesting that lobbyists ought to bolster their arguments with cash payments to politicians. Frankly I don't really care whether bribes are exchanged so long as the end result serves the constituents as a whole and not just the lobbyists. Accepting a bribe to advance lobbyists' interests at the expense of one's constituents would be an obvious example of corruption. As would doing the same out of personal preference without any exchange of favors.
Shock an aw: US teenager wrote slice of Scots Wikipedia
Pollack's works have an extreme textural effect when seen in person that can't be conveyed with flat media like computer screens or printed reproductions — they are three dimensional, because the paint blobs are thick, and sharp.

This interactive site is a beautiful and intense way to experience Pollack. If you get the chance, I hope you also get to experience Pollack's works live and in the flesh.

That is, for Apple, perhaps a nice side effect of the change. But I don't see it replacing Facebook app ads ... I never "see" the Apple ads.

The real purpose of this change is to continue to drive home to Apple users, who are increasing aware of privacy issues, that Apple has their back. Anything else is gravy.
Those aren't perfect either.

Kickstarter makes it too easy to fail without consequence. Even big names like Neil Stephenson did so (with his swordfighting game, turned out the money ran out and the game wasn't much fun so they just gave up). I don't doubt his sincerity but this model is not ready for the masses. The masses want to buy products, not promises.

Patreon on the other hand, makes it too easy to stay forever in alpha, the money will keep coming in while there's interest and eventually it wanes and the author moves on to something else. But the product never actually gets finished. In the mean time over the many months more money will get spent on it by each 'customer' than on an actual finished product.

Another big name that's currently in this situation is Star Citizen (which was a bit of combo of both models, with continual crowdfunding). Who knows when that'll ever be finished. They certainly have more than enough money but what's lacking is the role of the publisher in the traditional model, who keeps the project on track because they want to see RoI eventually.

The crowdfunding models are great sometimes but they're seriously lacking on this point.
The admin is admittedly the worst part about it, but since virtual machines and Ansible were invented it's at least a tractable problem.
Great job compiling the datasets! For the Yale group, I like the goal of their research. If the system can only answer 70% of questions, but it's pretty sure it knows the answer when it claims it does, that can still be very useful in many domains. And the conversational approach is a good one for clarifying ambiguity. Will continue to monitor their progress. Thanks!
Dada as a specific example was basically trolling in response to the absurdity of the world at the time.
Why would you want to? when the same unit test coverage will run under 1 minute, and be smaller easier to understand/change tests and can all be done on your laptop.

it all depends on your definition of unit/integration, what I am talking about as unit tests you may very well be talking about as integration tests...

one of the main points I was making is you shouldn't have significant duplication in test coverage and if you do, I'd much rather stick with the unit tests and delete the others.

> Just as the B787 and B777 replaced the bigger B747 the E195/A220 should have been replacing the 737 in the last decade but the "scope clause" is a brick wall against that.

What prevents competitors from manufacturing an iPhone for $20 or $30, or even $200 or $300? Not the copyright laws that stop you from pirating movies. Other forms of IP such as patents and trade secrets are more important. These are not generalisations of copyright, they’re distinct concepts with very different rules, and criticisms of copyright do not necessarily apply to them.
Open source makes security vulnerabilities and bugs somewhat easier to discover, but the real benefit is that it makes them easier to fix once discovered. With proprietary closed-source codebases, you must wait for them what have access to fix anything reported, which in some cases never happens, or can take a very long time. With open source, anyone who has the knowledge and skill can step up and fix anything they feel like, and submit said fix back to the codebase for review and possible inclusion, or fork the code and apply the fix themselves if necessary.
Just threw some 'curveballs' at statsmuse and it held up pretty well. Good argument for restricting the domain as you say.
The market will probably solve this, but it might not necessarily do so in a way you like. No widespread EV adoption and cars running on oil indefinitely because EVs are not viable for most people would be a perfectly valid free market solution to the problem.
Amen, my brother-in-space. It's the game that defined my childhood. The game that made me wish Star Citizen would be better managed.

Im not scared of death per se. but this is still a unique perspective
I love this. And it adds a whole new dimension (ha ha) to the thinking.

And you're right - it starts to get really wild when you remove the linear constraint. Or even the singular universe constraint. Think about a multiverse, where not only are there other people in this one timeline experiencing things, maybe there are multiple (infinite) simultaneous timelines. Or, as you said, not even timelines. Multiple infinite states of being.

I think perhaps the most comforting part of trying to "figure it all out" is the realization that we're, in all likelihood, woefully incapable of really ever figuring it all out, especially if "reality" (whatever that is) looks nothing like the tiny, single-brained, single-universed, linear timeline perspective that we have.

Many viruses (like the flu) can have exposure/dose dependent response. It is not known if this is the case for Covid-19, but it is possible.

It cuts both ways - the most lucrative investments are also the riskiest ones. We tend to look down our noses (sometimes masking it as sympathy) at those who spend their money on lottery tickets or gambling, taking on large amounts of risk for a chance of an _extremely_ lucrative payoff. What's the difference between the state lottery saying you have a 1 in 650 million chance of winning, and someone pushing a new bio-tech stock, with all the financial disclosures attached?
