I think the difference the OP is pointing out is that, insurance can look at a broken door or a broken window and say "yep, this is where the person entered the property." Whereas they'll look at a home-built door lock that was hacked/bypassed and deny any claim, on the basis it "wasn't secure enough" - similar in vein to just leaving your front door unlocked, you won't get any sort of payout

Apple is not marketing the M1 chip on any kind of dimensions of Ghz, cache size, etc. I guess deliberately not playing the Intel game.

I would love to know -- is an absolute Ghz metric meaningful at all with this line of chips then, for any type of user? Does that matter for some special application, or not at all? What happens when they want to increment the speed for next generation, does it become just M2?

And, in the manufacturing process, what happens to the chips with lower yield/performance? Do those get sold somehow and we don't know about it?
There's currently a lot of talk about io_uring, but most articles around it and usages still seem more in the exploration, research and toy project state.

I'm however wondering what the actual quality level is, whether people used it successfully in production and whether there is an overview with which kernel level which feature works without any [known] bugs.

When looking at the mailing list at https://lore.kernel.org/io-uring/ it seems like it is still a very fast moving project, with a fair amount bugfixes. Given that, is it realistic to think about using any kernel in with a kernel version between 5.5 and 5.7 in production where any bug would incur an availability impact, or should this still rather be a considered an ongoing implementation effort and revisited at some 5.xy version?

An extensive set of unit-tests would make it a bit easier to gain trust into that everything works reliably and stays working, but unfortunately those are still not a thing in most low-level projects.
In my country (UK) taxis are not yellow either (although yellow is a common colour for taxis throughout the world) but I am still able to guess which pictures are of taxis when the other options are of palm trees and a van.

I think that's the point of these captchas. The average human being has no problem passing the test even if they are not 100% familiar with all the details.

There is obviously a limit and indeed pictures should be chosen to be generic enough to be workable throughout the world, but I feel this is 'problem' is blown out of proportion by some commenters.
Yes: practically, it just might not be a good time, and emotionally, it prepares the person to accept the feedback. Less so in the book, but definitely on the podcast, they really emphasize that the question is genuine; if someone says no to the question, then you accept the no and move on.

They also emphasize that you should give /only/ positive feedback for quite some time before starting to give negative feedback. That would probably go a long way to soften things enough that one feels they can say no when appropriate.

(There's a whole set of things to do if the direct /always/ says no, of course)
>Nice, I guess instead of talking to the person next to me and sorting something out in 2 minutes, we can use email, and do it in 30.

I do agree and disagree.

Sometimes it's very handy to just talk about stuff quickly, but for me, who unfortunely has a lot of context switching I love having stuff written in email, because I can always go back to it when I forget or when I need to reanalyze it
There are two problems with this. 1. Tar also stores user and group names, which you see when you use the "v" and "t" options. 2. If you try this as non-root user, you run into permission problems.

Well, there is a gap in your answer, you speak about line, holes and points (domain of geometry, very well), but then you introduce numbers somehow. Also, I'd be more interested in relation between people, swearing and irrational numbers, not between irrational numbers and geometry. Unless you'll provide a mapping between geometry and people, that relates to irrational numbers.
The wrong take on the right idea.

Computer programs are like a gas, they’ll fill up whatever container they are put in. This is unfortunate as computers get faster the programs that run on them tend to get slower at nearly the same rate. Sure some things do grow in capability a whole lot, but much of what we do on computers is the same exchange of text with a bit of decoration that has been done for decades, and yet nothing seems the 1000x better that one would expect.

Programs, programmers, and software companies will expand until they run out of resources regardless of how much you give them. There is a real problem there, because there are things which should use negligible resources today which instead use resources akin to yesterday’s supercomputers.

Really, I would be quite fine with, say, most websites operating on a technology level of around 1995. Maybe with the improved resolution of today. With most websites I really don’t want any features developed in the last 25 years, plain old hypertext with a few graphics here and there was fine.

And yet my web browsers are using far more memory than I had disk space back then.

In my area they learn your schedule, break in through the back door with a crowbar while you're walking the dog, and have a friend pull a moving van into your driveway. At least that's what one very successful group did a while back before they got themselves caught.
> There are many ways in which your door lock can be opened or broken.

I once locked myself out of the house and called a locksmith to let me back in. He didn't even touch the lock, he just reached through the letterbox with a lever and operated the handle from the inside. I felt a bit stupid paying him to do it really, because I could totally have done that myself if only I'd thought of the idea, but of course that's easy to say once you've seen how it's done.
That just reads like they wanted the name and came up with a story to fit. The village and the brewery aren’t even in the same country...

IOCP is actually submission+completion based and thereby closer to io_uring than to epoll. The main difference between IOCP and io_uring at this point seems to be the use of a ringbuffer based submit interface instead of a syscall based one. But that is more of a performance optimization than a huge difference in the programming model.
> I dare say performance might even become government regulated, like efficiency is for home appliances

Sounds like a nightmare. But since programming has so far restricted attempts at credentialism-gatekeeping and even unionising, I'm not holding my breath.

> IMO you can already see this happening to Ruby, and Rust. Increasing attention to making low level languages more palatable.

Or viewed in reverse, attempts to make higher level languages faster.

One way to do that is to make sure that the levels of abstraction that exists in the language don't leave much of a trace at runtime. Ie compile the abstractions away.

That's more straightforward with more statically typed languages. But the excellent work done on JavaScript engines shows that given enough resources to throw at the problem, being 'slow' or 'fast' is not a property of languages but of implementations. (But the language definitely has an influence on how much implementation effort you need.)

If you need to prevent upgrade in Debian, Ubuntu, and other Debian package based distros add a version hold in apt's preferences by creating a 'pin' on the current version:

/etc/apt/preferences.d/thunderbird68

Package: thunderbird
Pin: version 1:68.*
Pin-Priority: 1000
"Useful" is also context-dependent in two ways: it is relative to the environment of adaption; and also! relative to the existing genotype.

ie., evolution is starting with a bike and turning it into a car

it is not "starting with raw materials" and shaping them

So pretty much every life form is highly non-optimal wrt their environments.
The other replies describe the lack of coprocessors, but there is one way in which Mega Drive cartridges got more sophisticated over time - increased ROM capacity.

>Nice, I guess instead of talking to the person next to me and sorting something out in 2 minutes, we can use email, and do it in 30.

Well, talking to the person next to you will disrupt their focus, and they might take hours to get into whatever they were doing (if they were programming / in the zone) at the time. So, yeah, better do it in 30 minutes.
Haha good catch. A bit embarrassing for me, but this is hilarious. Thank you for pointing it out.

> If you want to change people, then give them positive reinforcement. If you try to "change" others by negative feedback, they will likely do less of everything and try not to be caught doing anything because it might be the "wrong thing".

Which is why Manager Tools emphasizes that this form of feedback should be used first exclusive with /positive/ feedback for quite some time (months) before using the format for negative feedback. And that, once started, positive feedback should outweigh negative feedback 3-1.
B) being true doesn't make the cautiousness around home smart device security less important. Do you want to elaborate on where you were planning to go on this?
How can one be an asshole much more than 'basically all the time'?
Anecdotally, the first Sony smart tv my grandma got (after her old tube TV died) managed to receive a firmware upgrade over the antenna cable (don't remember if it was cable TV or satellite). She certainly didn't have any internet in her home.
Of course that led to a fun episode of "My TV is broken" (actually just showing a prompt to start the firmware upgrade), in general she got very confused by the smart TVs UI often...

YouTube became popular because it was a central place where you can find videos and get good recommendations and such. The fact that it became "the place for video" has made it a battleground for this type of thing. It makes me wonder if the future of video hosting could be smaller sites where videos are less likely to be taken down, demonetized, etc.
That's a great story. If I did that for my projects I'm sure I'd come off feeling as if I've built a lot more than I currently do.

Section 475 elections convert capital losses to NOLs, and therefore information about capital treatment is not relevant or accurate as that is a parallel default tax regime.

Other professions have other elections.

You do the elections at the entity level so as not to mess up your own tax regime.

Instead of your article from 2001, you could pick some part of my articles, such as the parts where it says disregarded or pass through entities work as expected. Your article from 2001 doesn't mention those magic words at all, only discussing partnerships in the non-business tax context.

From my third source using post-2017 tax regime:

> For business losses passed through to individuals from S corporations, partnerships and LLCs that are treated as partnerships for tax purposes, the new excess business loss limitation rules apply at the owner level. In other words, each owner’s allocable share of business income, gain, deduction or loss is passed through to the owner and reported on the owner’s personal federal income tax return for the owner’s tax year that includes the end of the entity’s tax year. [and carried forward to the next year, explained in the following paragraph]

As great as seeing workers get better wages and working conditions would be, I observe that Amazon and other companies (let's just call them "employers") simply have the upper hand in having a surplus of global labor wanting to work for the wages and conditions offered. (see the other story about "what happened in 1971" and the general stagnation of wages for the last few decades)

It's not like Amazon or others are forcing workers to take these jobs. This is voluntary, inevitable, equilibrium supply and demand of labor -- where willing labor is in great surplus lately compared to what was a previously stable pool of middle class jobs seeking employable bodies, leading to a very weak bargaining position. The floodgates of global labor competition were opened with a lot of underdeveloped countries' peoples willing to take up jobs at low (but high for them) pay, and that has rippled through every developed country's labor economy.

Until there is a relative shortage of willing workers, the situation will not change hugely I fear. (Aside from pockets of shortage due to education, credentials, monopolies of labor, other barriers to entry, etc)
But it isn't capitalism, at least not a free market. While you may have a limited choice on what hospital you can go to, good luck with getting a price beforehand.
This problem occurs because of the parasitcle nature of health insurance and the hospitals, and that you are pretty much required to have health insurance. Once the government mandates it, you are losing the capitalism. And there is a lot of corruption and Negligence between insurance and hospitals

That your P90 is slow to run modern software is largely because modern software is bloated. You mention:

> mpv and mplayer can't play anything smoothly (not even as a .wav file) and mpg321 fires up pulseaudio before it starts playing so that's not happening.

But a P90 could not only play wav files (in fact my 386 with 4MB of RAM could play and edit wav files in realtime just fine under Windows 3.1) but also both decode and play mp3 files at the background while doing other tasks in Windows 95.

That mpv and mplayer are not able to do that shows that they require way more resources than is really necessary to perform the task at hand.

> People aren't being foolish or irresponsible or naive in not caring about these things, they're being sensible. Running a Pentium 90 with modern software --- that's the actual unreasonable hobby here.

That is a false dichotomy, running modern software on a P90 might not be very reasonable but that doesn't make people who do not care about the resource usage of their applications sensible - if they are or not depends on other matters.

And being unable or hard to run modern software on a P90 is because of the state of current software, but that doesn't mean software has to be like that because it is "modern" - someone explicitly made a choice to develop the software in a way that causes it to be like that.
For any future world's wealthiest, is having a non contentious relationship with employees a reasonable endeavor? The fact that this is about money while the person in charge has the most money of anyone living doesn't seem to be a desirable or targeted position given their fine tuned logistical approach to the world.

Same happened to me and the locksmith just used a piece of strong plastic sheet (like credit cards in the movies) between the door and the door frame to open the latch bolt. It took about 2 minutes...

And once it also happened (I know...) with a secure door and lock, and although the locksmith had to break the lock he managed in under 10 minutes.

My conclusion is that residential doors and locks, even secure, expensive ones, are no match for professionals. They protect against opportunity theft and idiots.

Knowledge Base Issue
Are you using a knowledge base to store information?
If so, which ones?
Frankly, I don't understand this logic. This would mean all workers approve what their companies are doing. There are many warehouse workers at Amazon who hate several aspects of their company. Nevertheless, they still work there as they need to feed their families. That's one point.

Second, Facebook is not a tobacco or gun manufacturing company. Their main business is advertising, and they made several grave errors on the way, and they continue to do certain wrong things, but as much as you can hate them you can't morally equate any communication platform with planned genocide. It's shifting responsibility from actual people who commit attrocities to a platform that makes it easier for them to communicate. Yes, FB is easier to blame, but this approach misses the main point.
I think you misunderstood my previous comment. I don't at all question that the Black Death ended serfdom, or at least weakened it severely after so many dead.

I have disabled web fonts on desktop (Firefox settings) and mobile (Firefox Focus as content filter for Safari).

It looked strange for about thirty minutes. After that: I'm not going back.

Everything is faster, everything looks sane. The few sites where custom fonts are an integral part of the value? I'm willing to re-activate fonts for those. Happens almost never.

Only "problem" is that icon fonts are blocked (hamburger menus, thumbs up buttons), but I can live with that (and if it's too difficult to use, I may also re-activate fonts temporarily).
I think @pqs' point is a valid one though: circumventing a home lock by compromising a home automation system's security is surely a higher bar for thief to overcome than breaking through a window, so it's a bit funny for the former to be categorized as a failure on the part of the homeowner, while nobody is expecting everyone to install bulletproof metal shutters.
