I actually just got done reading the thread. That was an interesting read.

This has happened a few times. First with TunSafe, I think it also happened with CloudFlare's WG implementation, etc. The idea that a third party unsupported implementation shouldn't count.

I think this is a case of the message being lost in the tone. As a user of Wireguard, I definitely don't want to think about whether this is an official implementation. But having many competing implementations is exactly what would cause confusion (imagine a news article talking about how someone overcame a Wireguard exploit to get into a network).

It's like having 20 different apps that claim to be compatible with Signal. I'd have no idea which ones have gotten the same amount of rigorous testing. Fragmentation in these kinds of areas (especially when the original project is itself open source and hasn't stagnated) can often make things worse by causing even a little bit of doubt or hesitation.

There's always AMD/ATI with its completely open drivers and hardware.

AMD even redesigned the silicon to isolate HDCP from rest of the core to be able to open video encoders and other HDCP facing hardware to open drivers.

Also, AMD's open driver's written by a different team in AMD. So they're not exactly 3rd party drivers.

Many great things about Lex. One I like most is his quickness to ask basic questions. Chris Lattner mentions it as a great trait of his own -- sincerely trying to learn, rather than impress you

So well done Lex
Joel Salatin is somewhere in the middle. He field grazes his animals but fairly aggressively moves them around. With his management practices he's getting about 2-3 times the yield per acre of land as the average for his area. The practices and equipment necessary to do that are a better investment for him than buying more land.

I don't know how he's competing on size, but the claim is that grazing down to the ground is less efficient for cattle, and you should move them long before they get to the bottom of the grass stalks.
There is a direct correlation between fire suppressive actions carried out over the last hundred or so years, and the increase of more devastating wildfires in California.

The state government made it a practice to stifle any potential wildfire for so long that a significant overgrowth and buildup of flammable materials has occurred, which otherwise would have burned in minor incidents over the years.

Cover crops have been growing fast in conventional farming. It is less energy (read CO2!) to spray roundup to kill them before planting than to run a heavy roller (also soil compaction).

You need 30x QA and maintainers since dealing with someone elses mess so much harder than making one.
Yes. It may be totally working code.

But it wasn’t written cleanly as many tools would attest.
Based on what you said, seems like tilling is more for harvesting than for growing.
For how long, though?

Why should GP post at all then? Sounds like he or she has given up on something that some others have been able to defeat. I realize it’s hard to get over the idea that there isn’t a magic pill to “fix” you and allow you to continue treating your body/mind like a garbage can, and yah, big changes are hard. Looking for pity maybe?
Plenty of people have asked for fail2ban support for Caddy, but since Caddy v2 has transitioned to structured logging, this hasn't been very easy.

I'd love to see integration with Caddy here, I'm sure many people would appreciate a Caddy plugin that can do what they'd typically use fail2ban for.
Thanks for letting us know that you use ArchLinux.

The Enlightenment Gap
There's a -little- more nuance to it.

Private Mortgages may require flood insurance depending on factors, depends on the bank and their rules. Govt Backed mortgages (i.e. FHA) will require for 'high risk' areas. However you can still have a flood within 100 years in your area but not be required to have insurance (I live in such an area.) Typically this is for cases where flooding is going to be very minor; i.e. in this area it can happen but it's a small enough flood both in size and depth it doesn't meet the criteria. As a result, savvy folks just make sure not to keep anything expensive out of their basements. Less savy folks take extra trash out after a bad rain.
Sure, PCIe is packet based so PCIe switches are a thing. Just be aware this is a single PCIe 2.0 lane, it's already overburdened when you added the first USB 3 port.

For the coral it's probably cheaper and just as good a fit to put a USB 2 hub chip on and wire up the B+M m.2 version through that.
He's not talking about machine level code. He's talking about while loops in regular programming. I don't think the person was aware that there are paradigms that avoid looping.

To be more pedantic and get even lower level than machine code, at the theoretical level the basis of computation can be either procedural or functional. See lambda calculus and Turing machine for more info.
The pay is usually good but not great. The reason I've left at times was due to sweatshop conditions. Although that hits artist positions harder than technical ones. A lot of places still have 50 hour weeks for everyone, which frankly sucks.
I'm also in the same boat. Seven years ago, the only game in town was nVidia, sadly.

Instead of improving and opening up, they locked down and obfuscated everything and went downhill from there.

My next GPU won't be an nVidia. I'll be back to red team and be happy (I'm an AMD/ATI soft-fanboy. Love their design choices and hardware more).
>None of that actually matters because the only thing important is if the information is true or not.

Sure, if we are limiting the discussion to specifically the information presented in these documents, but we never leave it there. There is nothing in the body of the emails that have proven Joe Biden was involved in anything nefarious. However the larger story is whether these emails are an implication of his corruption. In this larger story, both the interpretation of emails and the larger context of the emails are just as important at the body of the emails themselves. The source matters in that regard. A biased source can hide exonerating pieces of context and only show the evidence in a manner that is most likely to elicit the response they want.

For example, let's look back to 2016. There was a big controversy over Clinton getting debate questions ahead of time. That was true and looks awful with the context we had. However, what if there was also an email that Sanders received the same debate questions (purely a hypothetical for the sake of discussion, I'm not actually suggesting this happened)? That would change the entire story. Suddenly we go from a corrupt candidate manipulating everything to her advantage to a story about the artifice of televised political events. The Clinton email would be no less "true", but the existence of evidence we didn't see would change what that email means. It is easy to manipulate with partial truth like this.

> There are plenty of areas with much more forest per square km that are not up in flames year after year, but they're just as impacted by the global climate.

And not only that, but California didn't use to have this problem. It used to be that as a condition for allowing loggers to harvest trees (1 out of 200), they'd have to clear the underbrush.

It is zero cost to fix this problem. There would be more trees and fewer fires if CA just allowed the policies they had in the 90s. Unbelievable incompetence.
> There are many different lines of products from IKEA.

Came here to say just that. Some products are virtually bullet-proof, while others start to show their age after a few months of regular use. For example, cheap melltorp tables can withstand a nuclear blast and even a few cross-country relocations, but anything from their Billy line is already half-way to a trash heap after unboxing. IMMV.

How are protein shakes and such 'stuff' at all approaching performance enhancing chemicals? Performance enhancing chemicals make the body do things it wouldn't normally do, directly modifying behavior to be different than it could be without that substance. Protein shakes are just providing nutrients so the body can make full use of exercise. Giving the body a nutrient rich liquid food is very different from a drug.

The one that seems a bit borderline but perhaps small enough effect and also already so commonly used by the general population anyways that its not too reasonable to consider it to be "doping" which would be caffeine.
I don't know entirely how to provide a sufficient TLDR for this, but it's something like: an embedded relational programming system can let python reason about the computation graphs for other embedded DSLs, with examples such as deriving the parametric distributions for related random variables in probabilistic programming.

This is interesting to me on a few levels:

- I've been trying to better understand relational programming for a bit, and reading an explication of a non-scheme minikanren is clarifying.

- This does suggest an approach for automating/mechanizing a bunch of the derivational stuff that happens in ML sometimes. The examples spelled out (about conjuage priors for example) are pretty simple, but in the extreme one could derive some programs mechanically from some assumptions and stipulations.

- Some things which we can already do mechanistically could potentially be reframed in a more extensible way with this kind of approach. For example, cvxpy has a set of rules that it uses to determine whether a function and constraints are convex, prior to throwing a problem at a convex solver. I think if one re-expressed the same stuff in these relational terms, you could get a version which is more readily extensible (when you have a new function whose vexity/tonicity you can describe). One step further would be "fill in a hole in this formula which makes the whole thing convex".

(Bloomberg) --
AT&T Inc. criticized a Defense Department proposal that could let commercial rivals use military airwaves for a fast 5G network as a “drastic and unproven” plan.

Republican and Democratic lawmakers already have questioned the plan from the Pentagon, which last month asked industry to provide “innovative ideas” for sharing airwaves. U.S. airwaves usually are allocated via auctions run by the Federal Communications Commission.

“It makes no sense to do something so drastic and unproven,” Joan Marsh, AT&T’s executive vice president of federal regulatory, said in a blog post on Monday. “What’s really at issue, however, is the determination of a vested minority to roll the dice with American 5G leadership by upending the proven methods of delivering wireless service.”

The DoD made the proposal in response to administration policy for quickly building 5G networks that are expected to enable a variety of technologies including autonomous vehicles and connected factories and homes. At the same time, the Pentagon’s step responds to longstanding impatience among some civilian spectrum officials who see the military as hesitant to release frequencies to meet commercial appetite for airwaves.

Karl Rove, a Republican political consultant, is registered as a lobbyist for closely held Rivada Networks LLC. Rivada in its filing to the DoD on Monday called for a network built with private capital, “shared with commercial users who are subject to pre-emption by DoD.” In other words, the military could claim the airwaves when needed.

Rivada said it favors a “a wholesale wireless network, rather than an old-fashioned retail-focused one.”

The mobile trade group CTIA, with members including AT&T and Verizon Communications Inc., opposes the DoD proposal, and used a Sept. 30 press release to criticize “a nationalized 5G network.”

Republican Senator John Thune and more than two dozen of his colleagues in a Sept. 30 letter told President Donald Trump the Defense Department’s path “contradicts the successful free-market strategy you have embraced for 5G.”

In 2018 a proposal for heavy federal involvement in a national 5G network was quickly sidetracked amid criticism from establishment conservatives.
I’m in Texas but it’s pretty much common sense that after drought years your fire risks are elevated.

When everyone was talking about the drought in CA a few years ago was it really a stretch of the imagination that fires would follow?

For me definitely! I have a tiny VPS running ARM that I use as a build server. I get so much SSH spam that it noticeably slows down the VPS (both with and without Fail2Ban)..

"Written in Go" signifies to me that it can be faster and more resource-efficient than Fail2Ban: a good reason to check it out.
Congrats on launching! I've been (extremely) slowly working on a similar idea for the past few years. I gave up on the pro GM part because demand seemed so low. Best of luck.

Wiki link (meager) since I hadn't heard of them before https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Hoover_Commission

> The California Little Hoover Commission (LHC), officially the Milton Marks "Little Hoover" Commission on California State Government Organization and Economy,[1] is an independent California state oversight agency modeled after the Hoover Commission and created in 1962, that investigates state government operations and promotes efficiency, economy and improved service through reports, recommendations and legislative proposals.[2]

> Created by SB 37 in 1993, the California State Auditor operates under the direction of the Little Hoover Commission.[3]

The cover page footer also mentions Milton Marks https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milton_Marks

> Milton Marks, Jr. (July 22, 1920 – December 4, 1998) was a California politician who served in the California State Assembly and California State Senate, as both a Republican and a Democrat,[1] representing San Francisco for 38 years.[2]

It's presumably named in deference to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoover_Commission

> The Hoover Commission, officially named the Commission on Organization of the Executive Branch of the Government, was a body appointed by President Harry S. Truman in 1947 to recommend administrative changes in the Federal Government of the United States. It took its nickname from former President Herbert Hoover, who was appointed by Truman to chair it.

To paraphrase the only real rule in another famous sport: "The winning player shall be the first player that wins."

If you are the top of any sport, there's money, fame, groupies, etc. There's a real incentive to do it.

My wife has "chronic daily headaches" (that's actually the medical term) for decades. Been to multiple doctors. Have undergone multiple tests. Have tried multiple medications. Nothing.

Just get through one day at a time like someone else said. And look forward to the sweet sweet embrace of death. At least that is what my wife says.
We recently learned that the chronic illness in our family was due to long-term toxic mold exposure. Here's what we have learned over the last 10+ years:

1) Learn to advocate for yourself. One wise doctor told us "we're all just guessing". I don't know exactly what you are dealing with, but do your own research and seek out health practitioners that are on the leading edge of that community.
2) Learn your "dose". Every body is unique and has its own limits. There is no "normal" with chronic illness
3) Trust your gut. Remember that the struggle is real. There are a lot of doubters, questioners, and "helpful" people. You know what is best for your body.
4) Seek out a community of faith/meditation/prayer/therapy/etc. Dealing with Chronic illness is often more mental than physical.

Are there any "controlled burns over time" statistics?

I'd venture that "not enough controlled burns" should be the first hypothesis for why these fires are so common. I learned how important controlled burns are in boy scouts -- this isn't exactly a well kept secret. Before any other explanations are suggested, this one should be addressed.

I'd also venture that the state of California would prefer if the fires were outside of their control rather than caused by forest mismanagement. I will neglect to mention any other political reasons that might influence what these fires are blamed on.

Can anyone who rejects the controlled burns hypothesis explain the basis of their beliefs and also explain what they think would happen if the frequency of controlled burns were increased?
It won't bother them for a very long time. Enterprise systems and installations rarely follow latest kernels and packages.

CentOS 8 still uses 5.8 for example and will use it for a long time.

I manage such systems and unless something explicitly needs 5.9, we won't upgrade them. If it's working, it's working. Everything is isolated from outside network so, external threats are not very important. We're also an academic installation so, there's nothing sensitive inside.

Edit: This doesn't mean that we won't security-patch our systems. That's done pretty quickly and regularly. It's different.

I suspect the budget is actually a fair bit more nuanced than a dichotomy of fighting versus prevention, but regardless, the tools, training and people used to fight fires are the same tools and people that go out and do the preventative measures.

I wouldn't be worried about the macro budget, look at your actual firefighting policies and decide from those if the money will end up spent well.
Yup. It's absolutely possible to determine whether you play versus a strength reduced/weak engine or a human. Humans make human plans and play according to human best practices, which you can find in chess literature. Engines, however, do not make long term plans and often play very inhuman (perfectly precise, unobvious tactical) moves, that often suprises even on grandmaster level.

We need to pay a licence fee for the television (online or not) but not radio.

Television licence isn't connected to BBC iPlayer (online BBC television live/VoD stream) accounts, so I think the region lock is just a lazy way to prevent people who certainly don't pay the licence fee from accessing the content.

Since radio doesn't require a licence, no account, and anyone can access online. (Or offline if you manage to pick it up. Or DAB. Or the World Service, but quick search suggests it doesn't air In Our Time.)
In most non-technical discussions like this, it's only serving the purpose of gatekeeping, as if people who work with HTML or CSS are not really programmers. That's nonsense and should be rejected.

I do think that, in specific technical contexts, a useful distinction (though still fuzzy on the margins) can be made between programming languages and markup languages.

Side note, Kit Carson, who is oftentimes celebrated as a folk hero, was responsible for many massacres of indigenous peoples and displacement of them. He was never really the schemer behind these atrocities, but he was one of the US governments best trigger man when it came to this. It was very odd considering he was married to a Mexican woman and had indigenous wives at other points in his life.
Have you looked into surgery for the reflux? I had something called "transoral incisionless fundoplication (TIF)" several years ago. It seemed to reduce some of my symptoms somewhat at first, but mostly regressed after several months, and never actually stopped my nighttime breathing problems/throat closing up.

So I have been thinking I should try this thing called LINX. But I am really not sure if that one is better than a partial Nissen fundoplication of some sort. Interested to hear your opinion on it.

What I would do is mix in a fake information bomb among real data so it looked authentic.

Specifically, I would add fake incriminating emails and then go to Ukraine and pay some people off to fake in the other side as well.

It could be invalidated later, but who cares. It would look good enough and people only remember original headlines, not corrections. And if related to an election, only needs to last until election night.

Easy peasy.
I have worked at several big studios and never witnessed 50h weeks as the norm. Core Pipeline / R&D do overtime very rarely and have a 40h/week with a lot of flexibility.

Artists is a different world and can feel very sweatshop-y around delivery dates for sure. There's a lot of crunch time -- probably similar to the gaming industry.
