You can but you will be hungry and it will be very difficult. You want to avoid carbs and sugar because carbs get turned into sugar and they spike your sugar levels, causing your pancreas to produce insulin to tell your body to store the excess sugar in your fat cells. Then when the excess sugar is all stored, you get the crash and you're hungry again. This is why people want to snack between meals.

Instead, avoid carbs and eat proteins and healthy fats. You won't get the sugar spike and crash, and will last hours without getting hungry. It is easy to eat only twice a day this way.

Of course it's not cheap on an absolute scale if you buy the absolute top of the line specs. It is still relatively cheap — try buying a laptop with those specs (or, more reasonably, the other way around). Especially if you don't buy the latest gen, which really isn't needed.

I'm still running an i7 6700. Initially it was one of the fastest components in my system, but has become the bottleneck as I've upgraded the parts around it (added a discrete gpu and nvme ssd, affecting the bottleneck for gaming and compiling, respectively). But honestly, it's still good enough most of the time, and I'm in no hurry to replace it.

Also/especially, while the initial build is not that much cheaper, the cost over time is — both the longer expected lifetime of the parts and the ability to upgrade piecemeal instead of replacing the whole thing.
Thanks for the detailed reply.

So, atomically{} is basically like a SQL transaction and would repeat or signify failure if it cannot commit the changes you make inside the code block, similar to a CAS lock-free algorithm. This seems quite limited though, you are basically constrained to writing code within the atomic block that deals with value types only, and with no side-effects. Otherwise how would the compiler or runtime know how to roll it back?

That sounds useful but doesn't seem to cover all the use cases of thread synchronization by a long shot. Isn't it also the case that even knowing how to implement interesting alrogithms in a lock-free manner is an area of significant ongoing research? For example I think only recently someone worked out how to implement a lock-free ring buffer (https://ferrous-systems.com/blog/lock-free-ring-buffer/)
The problem isn't really the billionaires, so much as they are the modern version of the king/feudal system because the wealth becomes hereditary.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the interesting parallel with religion here. Belief in a deity is also --in some eyes-- totally irrational. It can cause similar harm and sometimes also divides families, e.g. when people want to 'get out': Jehovas witnesses, scientology, ...

Let's face it, collectively, we're not as rational as we like to believe.
I have no problem with people choosing to leave their cameras off (I rarely turn my own camera on in meetings).

Jesus, this is even worse than I had seen in the past. These Trump vehicles are clearly harassing and surrounding the bus and that black truck is trying to get into the chase position. This is something you shouldn't see in a first-world country.

You can very clearly see the Trump truck swerving left into the car. That driver needs to be under arrest.

Other reports indicated that the Trump caravan was trying to drive the Biden bus off the road [1]

The driver apparently bragged about it on Facebook as well ("that was me slamming that f_cker") [2]

Regardless of who is at fault, a collection of Trump supporters were harassing the bus of their opponent TRAVELING ON A ROAD, using their vehicles.

Counterpoint,

For land travel all electric vehicles make a TON of sense. However, for airline and oceanic travel, the energy density of a battery simply isn't high enough.

Biofuels may be the only carbon neutral way to accommodate such forms of transport.
Do you really think that they have no way to tell that it's you between all those accounts?

It should be, but I doubt it.

Yes, and (for example) Fastmail allows you to do that very easily. So does Google if you prefer to keep the Gmail interface & are willing to pay for G Suite.

And, if your mail client’s UI allows, you can even send from <whatever>@yourdoma.in to avoid disclosing your “real” address when you reply.

My favorite use-case: you sign up for foo.com with foo@yourdomain.com. Then foo sells their contact database, and now you’re getting viagra spam all day. Ok, just add a filter to auto-trash anything addressed to foo@, and the problem is solved.

> If you're at the size where slow CI negatively affects your projects, then you're big enough to own your own CI (at least the build agents).

I think you vastly underestimate how much stuff people want to fit into CI and how quickly it turns into a big blob. I work as a freelancer helping not-quite-startups-anymore with things like CI speedup and tuning the database queries emitted by their ORM. You know, things where it's easy to build up technical debt.

It's not uncommon for a team of 3-4 to build so many tests and add so many linters and whatnot that CI takes more than an hour. Often, some basic love can bring it down to ~5 minutes but many teams are so focused on building new features that they will not take time to sharpen their tools.

Objective reality doesn't have a native representation in human language. When an event is recorded in text or speech it is neccessarily an interpretation. Even in memory, the record of an event is a mere interpretation of reality.

I'd also argue the words "known", "proof," and "information" all require interpretation as well.

You're spot on - a touch pad integrated into the case would mean you didn't need a separate mouse; there's plenty space for an M.2 module, and SD cards are shit; and mini-HDMI really is such a pointless form factor.

I'd be ordering one of these tomorrow if it had these features - still, I expect it will sell very well as-is, so I'm really hoping they come out with a new version at some point!
Given they’ve sold way more than they expected, so I am confused by your criticism.

Also note that the original use case was close to “The BBC micro for schools helped a generation learn software and hardware, but modern computers are rubbish at enabling that, because the software is not designed for kids and the hardware is expensive - nobody wants to risk kids bricking an expensive computer.”

Trying to pull someone out of a conspiracy theory rathole is very scary and difficult. There is a ratchet mechanism whereby whatever you do or say can be interpreted as further evidence for the conspiracy, and no matter how you push and pull they just go deeper.

>However, because in Windows TCP sockets are implemented in the user space,

That is not what's happening. TCP is entirely in the kernel. You are confusing Winsock with TCP.

Even then, Winsock has it's own driver (AFD.sys, which definitely does not stand for Another Fucking Driver) as well.

Most of the user-mode Winsock (ws2_32.dll, mswsock.dll, ws2tcpip.dll) implement the Winsock 2.0 spec-related bookkeeping, but Winsock calls essentially boil down to Ioctl()s to AFD.sys in the common case.

The thing to realize is that Winsock 2.0 was spec-ed at a time when Windows NT (and 95) allowed vendors to install things called "layered service providers", which were providers that hooked into Winsock and allowed you to intercept/redirect/filter various Winsock calls. Lots of internet filters worked in this way in the early days.

Now, given that these 3rd party providers were free to implement their protocol in user space completely, the socket handle you got was not guaranteed to be a kernel handle (Called an IFS handle all over Winsock documentation, for Installable FileSystem handle. )

Thus, WSADuplicateSocket() was a way to allow these providers to re-create a socket based on whatever provider-specific information was passed in through IPC.

Going back to your original claim, you can actually take a native AFD socket handle to a TCP connection and duplicate it (with DuplicateHandle) into another processes. It will also probably work just fine, but no one at Microsoft is going to officially support this usage, for the above-mentioned compatibility reasons, even though Winsock layered providers are officially deprecated now.

Edit: clarified what I meant by duplicate in last paragraph.

Customer interviews: Programmable Nootropic Delivery
Hey! I am working at a small startup where we are developing a new way of controlled drug delivery. This will allow you to precisely control the timing and dose of your choice compounds. It will work for most well known nootropics (melatonin, L-theanine, caffeine etc). This is obviously great in situations where you want some predefined cue to trigger a drug release (I’ll let your imagination run wild here). As we are finalizing our hardware spec, we are really looking to talk to potential users to get a feel for what is valued. It would be most amazing to get your feedback and thoughts.

Human beings are social animals, and people are likely to bristle at someone trying to poke holes in their worldview in that way, unless they have already established some kind of rapport. (Even the Socratic method expressed in Plato’s dialogues was practiced on people who belonged to the same city-state and social class as Socrates – and he eventually got charged and sentenced to death regardless.)

This is why one of the methods advocated for in curing people of conspiracy-theory thinking, is providing them a warm and supportive atmosphere where they feel part of a community, and not trying to challenge their ideas head on.

I still don't see any misconceptions. The reason why the kernel uses SIMD with FPU save/restore is to optimize context switches. We addressed the topic in https://netdevconf.info/0x12/session.html?kernel-tls-handsha... . I guess early versions of WireGuard used the same approach: save FPU context at the beginning of softirq, process may packets with SIMD in one shot, and restore FPU state.

There are also other issues with the kernel code and I addressed them in the article, why it doesn't makes sense (while still possible) to use C++ in the kernel code.

That seems like a bad faith assumption without more evidence. If your gmail is your main way of interacting with the web then any user is going to be a bit paranoid about protecting it even when doing nothing bad or wrong.

Good Morning,

I would like to provide input to put the following projects on the High Priority List:

- ModemMananager + libpurple + purple-mm-sms

https://sr.ht/~anteater/mms-stack/

Currently, neither the PinePhone nor the Librem 5 have the same feature parody as an Android/Apple Smartphone, in that they only have the ability to send/recieve SMS and Phone calls, but not MMS. In the US, this bring both phones as a non-starter to many to wish to no longer use Android and/or iOS, and wish to use free software to completely power their phones.

Many of the distributions that run on Both the Pinephone and Librem 5 depend on the ModemMananager + libpurple + purple-mm-sms stack, so enabling this will give most of the distributions this feature.

I would like to see this feature parody so that many could use these (and make it easier to build on other phones) that don't depend on Android and/or iOS.

Thank you for your time.
