BTRFS [..] doesn't support parity-stripe based redundancy models (raid5/6)

Before someone looks at man btrfs-device and gets confused: doesn't reliably support those levels. Support for parity-based redundancy models has been in the code for ages, but that part of the code is not considered mature.
Fair point. Luckily, for me streaks become boring. They're just a tool for getting into a habit. Once I have the habit, I'll drop tracking the formal tracking of that particular metric. I really can only track so many things at once, and so I'll set some other goal.
Do You Have Hair Loss
Folisin is a product for hair loss in men. To create the recipe of the food supplement, as many as 13 ingredients were used that inhibit baldness, support hair growth and have a positive effect on the condition of the scalp, creating the perfect environment for new hair growth. Importantly, all the ingredients used to create the tablets are safe for the body and do not cause side effects.
Poorly. It needlessly writes the compressed data to a file instead of simply using `zlib.compressobj`.
The official LineageOS builds are not somehow better. It only means the maintainer went through extra hoops to have their build listed there.

When fixing things it doesn't matter where you find the guide so I'm saying that if there are other videos available they should be linked. Obviously using iFixit only is easier to implement, but maybe there can be a way for the users to upvote arbitrary links?

I just don't understand why Google Maps has merged the colors of forests, pastures and farmland. In your example, everything is just green.

I've seen arguments about removing unnecessary information and decluttering the map. But very often forests, for example, have very distinctive shapes, which helps immensely to intuitively recognize locations with a quick glance.
Raid 1 usually means a mirrored disk - how does this work with 4 drives?

Staying away from unstable features: Is RAID 5 & 6 really considered unstable still?
The only sliver of hope is that most of the surveillance capitalism is itself funded by VC-backed bullshit startups that can afford to spend unsustainable amounts of money on customer acquisition in a futile attempt to secure a monopoly or economies of scale and we see that it isn’t really working out in the long term, so eventually this bubble will pop and data about customers with not much money will no longer warrant such advanced efforts to capture it.
That does not explain it. In US weeks more of W53/2020 lies in 2020 than in ISO weeks, but my phone still labels it W1/2021.

I can simply imagine not being invested in my kids life enough, but maybe I am putting the bar too high (2-4h a day with them at least). I mean, at least one parent would have to be since there's up to 13-14 awake hours minus the 8-9 in daycare.
In most EU countries and in the US, major wired network companies are already in the wireless market (T-Mobile, Vodafone, AT&T, etc.), so your take would make sense only if they were to stop laying fiber, and replace it with towers. To achieve this though, it would require a massive investment, especially to circumvent network congestion.
They don't.

Normally, an initial GPS fix takes some time if the device does not know about the precise arrangement of satellites at that time. It can take up to 15 minutes in case there is no almanac data.

Most devices use data obtained from internet for faster GPS fixes. They should function properly offline too.
Well, on the upside on the ‘for’ syntax, it allows you to say “for (objects) draw” instead of “for (object in objects) { draw(object); }”. So it’s not all bad.

Edit: also, the print stuff, I feel that’s in line with the Zig Zen - make the language simple to understand. Now the print function has a very clear type. Otherwise you need a “smart” print function (like Rust does with a macro or C does with varargs). Easier to understand, not easier to type.

I'd love if you could have a link on the Tabist page that shows a popup allowing for copy/pasting of a text box to show list of titles/URL or just URLs for either easy sharing of a grouping of tabs or so I could do an occasional backup of URLs?

Re urge surfing, I wonder if there’s something like aversion surfing. For me the urge is often triggered by an aversion to what I should really be doing at the given time. Thus not acting on the urge isn’t a complete solution, because it still leaves me with the aversion and has me seek some other avoidance behavior. Unlike the urge, which goes away by itself by “surfing” it, the aversion tends to subsist much longer, because you can’t sidestep the object of the aversion (unlike the object of the urge).
Thanks for the feedback! I really appreciate it. I like the idea of adding a feature to export it as HTML. I will dive into that.

Appingkit looks nice btw! I will keep an eye on it.
Actually, Stripe is a really good one. Shopify, I dunno, I can't see it meshing too well with Google's current products or google even doing a good job developing Shopify further, especially after being acquired at more than 100B$ valuation. But a Stripe acquisition, I think, will be mutually profitable.
That was in Steve Jobs era.

App Store at the time was not part of Services Strategy and huge profit generating machine. App Store was used as a moat to sell iPhone. Steve always had a product strategy. Just like iTunes was used to sell iPod. It also kept things simple.

Apps and Smartphone was also not a necessity like they are today in a modern society. Steve passed away in 2011. That was the iPhone 4S. It is not even far fetch to say most of the world at the time were not even on Smartphone. ( It is crazy we think back now, how they world have changed in the space of 8-9 years.)

I did like to think Steve will have a different perspective. Tim Cook is exceptionally at execution. But he is not customer centric enough to see through the problem.

I agree with your general point but on the gas stations I don't think it holds. Gas stations will keep serving gas as long as there's even some vague demand for it, so they would start disappearing rather at the end point of such an s-curve, than at the beginning.

And they'll still be around, they'll just serve electricity. Fun fact, a lot of gas stations used to serve as stables. When cars arrived, they served both and gradually stopped being stables.

Though with electricity being overall so much easier to distribute than gas, I'm guessing a significant amount will indeed have to close, especially inside cities; no point going to a refueling station if a charger is available at nearly every corner, when you're parked while eating at the restaurant, or when you're home asleep and charging from your garage.

That's probably true for organised crime generally yes, they can support each other, but we're not just talking about them being allied, but about them all throwing in together in one legally incorporated company. That's next level risky.
If you're a startup, there is no way you will move fast if you don't incur tech debt. Why is it seen as a bad thing? It should be a given.

Nissan is effectively owned by Renault (43%) and is also multiple times larger than Tesla.

The price of acquisition would likely exceed anything Tesla could scrape together right now.

Then there's also the problem that Nissan is fundamentally a Japanese company. You can't just "acquire-hire" people halfway around the globe and expect that to work out.

They might be able to buy part (maybe whatever they own in the west, if there's anything worthwhile) of Nissan though, assuming someone was selling.
Anecdotally, the .tk domain is a great idea in principle for giving so many people the opportunity to have their very own namespace for free. But like so many free things, bad actors(spammers, et. al) ruin it for the rest of us.

I use https://openmaptiles.org/ at work. For normal, Web Mercator maps we just use the free download of the whole world, available at [1]. Running the OpenMapTiles tools to generate a current tileset for a particular region is straightforward, but if you need all of Europe you will need some decent compute capacity. Unless everything can be done on a single computer, you'll also need to implement some missing pieces, e.g. a message system to distribute the rendering across your computers.

Thank! I'm validating if people are actually interested in something like this, so it's still very limited. Your projects are now live as soon as you are creating a project. I think will add a "publish" button soon.

I'm going to look into custom domains! A custom subdomain was my MVP version, but having a custom domain is something people definitely want so hopefully I can add that options soon.

I will also investigate how much work it would be to add a "export to HTML" button.

I have a side project running for quite some time as a side business. Since I have a full time job and not in need of money coming from project, I would like to share my passive income to people impacted by COVID and lost their jobs. But I have no idea how can I do this without hurting my tax fillings, company is formed using Stripe Atlas. Income is generated by businesses who are willing to advertise/list/promote their brand on my website. I can share whole revenue with N people, 100-200$ person/month.

Understand technical leadership and boost your career
The closest experience I've had to this style of programming is using Rstudio and evaluating lines, modifying them, and rerunning. I've found this style of programming a little difficult. It's imperative that you rerun from scratch regularly so that the state in your living instance doesn't digress from the theoretical state obtained from running your source.

Ideally for me, I'd prefer to just hit a button and it rerun to the same place instantaneously (with a full debugger to deeply inspect state, of course).
You could forget to bring your power adapter home and have some short tasks to do at home which benefit from large screens.
I saw something similar for both Nim and Rust the other day, both of which I believe target the same space (safer alternative to C).

Anyone who has dug into these care to comment about the pros and cons of each?
That's only for the US though, and I'd expect such a product to come from Asia.
Its not 'just any portable screen' though. It is like task event which could be part of a calendar, except a Kindle (with e-ink) is used for this purpose. Quite clever usage of an e-reader.
Last time I asked Paddle was 5% with $0.50 per transaction.

Fastspring is more expensive with more features, and Gumroad is cheaper with less features where both deal with sales tax like Paddle does.

I'd be curious at an estimate of the accountancy costs for dealing with sales tax yourself. I'm happy to pay for less admin and peace of mind, but obviously there'd be some point where it would be a cheaper to do it yourself.

> How do payouts happen with Paddle in your experience? Stripe usually happens in a week for me.

Reliably once a month at the start of the month. Never had an issue.

Thanks for that feedback!

I'm trying to validate the project first, so it's lacking some features. Your suggestions sound like some very good improvements that I will look into asap.

At this point, it's completely free. The paid plans are just dummy buttons. But if people like to project I might at a paid plan later, and limit free plans to a single project for example.

Didn't think of anybody creating a project called "www", haha. I will remove it and add a validation for that slug ;)

There's absolutely no reason that we shouldn't have the capability (in the near future) to generate entire websites with a click of a button and narrated instructions. This is definitely the step in the right direction. Congrats on the progress!
REST API Versioning
Here is the problem though: let's assume that the developer really wants to release the source code, but the problem is that they have used a third-party library where they cannot legally release because they simply don't have the rights to it. This complicates open-sourcing that software (this is already proven from time-to-time, for example the OpenJDK Java runtime needs to and has changed third-party components like the colour management system, font renderer and media framework). This can be worked around on actively-developed software or if the community wants to be involved on open-sourcing that software, but if it is being abandoned I don't see the incentive to replace these components.

Moreover, comments. From expletives to actual trade secrets, a company needs to audit the code to ensure that at least the trade secrets have been removed from the source code. For example, even though Microsoft does not release the Windows/NT code widely, there are checks to ensure that expletives and comments that might cause severe repercussions (i.e. political statements) are not inserted. However, this is definitely a lesser concern to individual or small-group developers.

(Plus tooling issues etc, but considering that the massively-popular and ported Doom exists, it might be solved by the community. However, software which no longer has a community will encounter these issues.)
10% of global revenue if acquiring a competitor before they can scale up. This will become cost of doing business, as have other practices with laws such as this. Need to put people in jail, then the practices will change immediately. Wtf.
Because it is being popularised as being an environment friendly and animal friendly option. The latter is still true I suppose?
While playing with NixOS the other day I learned about /dev/disk/by-label which is the equivalent, but works with partition labels. So much more elegant than /dev/sda2.
Who will think of Apple in this trying time?
On the software side, it would be nice of the developers to do so, no harm to them and a great benefit to those still using the program.

Now on the hardware side[0] there's a mismatch in incentives: an otherwise functioning piece of hardware is unable to perform certain tasks (some that even were advertised at the time of purchase) due to changes in the software or it not being compatible to updates elsewhere in the ecosystem[3], all of which could easily be fixed with software updates. The companies selling these obviously say to buy the newest version, but that feels like a waste of resources and money to me. As much as I try voting with my wallet, I think this is getting worse with more "smart" devices, where there is little choice.

> They put the vaccine at about 95% whereas natural immunity is clearly upwards of 99.9%.

That's not true for any disease known to man.

In addition, the reason why reinfections are so "rare" medically is that the criteria for it are so stringent.

The patient has to have a positive COVID test, get over COVID, have a negative COVID test after long enough to believe that the virus cleared, catch the disease again after some time, and then get another positive test.

There are very few people who will meet that criteria given the rarity of COVID tests until about October.

Sadly, given the current rate of spread and the anecdotal evidence from others about reinfections, we should start getting enough people in that cohort to begin estimating the reinfection rate.

Zig: a language that most people who like C but not C++ will probably love. simple and compiles fast and deals with undefined behavior and null more safely than C, easy c interop, no garbage collection

rust: more like a safe c++, you can get all the performance of c or c++ with the memory safety of a garbage collected language, as well as data race safety and nulls do bot exist. downsides are it can be a hard to learn paradigm to satisfy the compile time memory checks, and it is slower to compile

nim: sort of like a statically typed python. fun syntax and features, compiles to C, quickly. has in the past used garbage collection but a new reference counting mechanism has been introduced lately.
The mobile app is quite good.
I like how hardware based this list is. I definitely don't think we have hit the limits (or anywhere closed) of software productivity improvements, but given that software rests on top of hardware, it would be very exciting to see how these hardware productivity improvements would translate to software productivity improvements as a first derivative effect.

As an aside, what does the U.S. need to do to make sure this list happens in the U.S. as much as possible and not in places like China with less regulatory capture and more state backing?

I'm really perplexed by what problems you have with burgers?

Burgers work really well with delivery. Used to order burgers very regularly at parties (GBK in London), it was one of the few things everybody would agree with and find good.

I can imagine that you would have troubles if the restaurant wasn't aware it was intended for delivery and gave a loose burger on a plate to the delivery guy. Gotta be put in a tight box to stay warm and in shape.
For most people, most of their bedroom activities are public in the US. Specifically, they are recorded in public marriage records that anyone can peruse.

Self-replicating machines and how to build a hard tech company
I was happy with how OSM was run before. Only recently became unhappy with it, when they decided to make that move. Note also, that it was a silent move for the casual OSM visitor. There was no big sign saying: "Hey, we switched to fastly! This means your requests will go through their servers. Just wanted to give you a heads up for you privacy conscious people." No justification, no asking for donations for running their own instead. I've supported multiple other projects, which I feel are important for the public and would have considered it for OSM to stay at OSM and not outsource stuff to fastly.

Now I cannot, with a clean conscience, recommend it to people any longer. What will my answer be to anyone, who asks me: "Well, if you are not using Google maps, what map service are _you_ using?" Now I cannot answer OSM, because then it will be: "But they are also allowing big companies to track their users! You are a hypocrite!"

Basically I need something better now, in order to stay consistent and not become a hypocrite. Perhaps I will use my months ago updated maps.me on my phone instead. However, with maps.me issues of late, I will need to switch that eventually as well.

Remember: Ignorants and uninformed people are not to be optimized for, if we want any quality standards to survive on the WWW. To keep standards, one cannot always go for the lowest common denominator.
