I hit the gcc8 / libgcc-s1 migration problem when trying an in-place upgrade from Buster to Bullseye. I'm sure it will be resolved before the final release, but the issue for me was https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=961990 and several workarounds were available, but running `apt full-upgrade libgcc1-` worked for me as per https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=964477#41 .
OOK.

Also, this is bad "science" taken personally.
A few huge companies like Stripe use Sorbet. Thats really not a good representation of Ruby users though. I guess youre right, for dynamicism Ruby is awesome but if you need types just switch to a true typed language.
They controlled for that.
I use DynamoDB for most production workloads. With that said, I really miss the ability to run ad-hoc queries against a relational database.

Joins can be baked in to DynamoDB for application access patterns - but frequently I (or product/sales) want to know "how many people with X also have Y", which is really hard to do with DynamoDB.
I find that when speaking about many cars here in Australia, some people are very strong on their opinion of their cars and brands. Where you will find someone trashing a particular car brand, then another person of the view that they've had little to no issues at all.

I suppose with the Tesla maybe it's the feeling of buying a little ticket of the future and as such you might feel okay with dealing with teething problems when it comes to a car brand that is trying to do better for the environment in a way that car brands snobbed off in the past.
i915 GPU freeze on kernel 5.x solved?
I'm building a platform to program robots. The twist is that I'm the robot.

For the past 2 years, I've been collecting all of the data I could about myself. My system connects to about 50 different data sources, trackers, and environmental sensors. Think of it as 100% automated activity tracking.

Now that I have the data, I'm working on goal setting. It's both about implicit goals (physiological goals, local laws, contracts) and explicit goals ("I want to lose 20 pounds"). Future visualization/projection + direct manipulation seems like good formal approach to goal setting. Natural language also seems promising, and could be integrated to smart speakers and journaling apps to ease adoption.

The following challenge will be to automatically break down goals into a series of steps. I suspect that Control Theory will be useful, but I haven't seriously researched the subject yet. It's my biggest unknown.

Lastly, the system will need to give me instructions. I've been giving myself instructions for the past year using time blocking and Google Calendar. It's extremely powerful. My calendar will ontinue to be my main source of instructions, except that the system will populate it automatically. Eventually, AR, environmental cues (changing scene, glowing LEDs, subtle chimes), and wearables will become more ergonomic and seamless sources of instructions. I am already experimenting with the PineTime.

By the end of the decade, you'll be able to program yourself.
Lol are you honestly linking your own twitter as a source
Yeah at my last gig we used AWS’ offering. Blue green deployments would hit a race condition and the new cluster would never come up, requiring a ticket to be filed. Important APIs and settings were disallowed.

Horrible service. That’s why it’s ironic that Elastic just shot themselves in the foot with this licensing change. So foolish.
At least in my rural part of the U.S., you are likely to see one such morbidly obese person at any given WalMart at any given time of the day. But that’s unique to WalMart. You may see such a person at other stores, but something about WalMart attracts the morbidly obese. Then and pickups with lift kits and guys with camo ballcaps.
I am not claiming that the possibility is excluded, just that it is not demonstrated here.

> In mammals, this is what guides birds to migrate. It's far more than that and the earth undergoes these field changes every interval with profound impact on life on earth.

> You and I are all made out of Earth and the things we eat and breathe are all Earth itself. There's just no way that we can brush off this phenomena with pedantry.

I agree that biology is profound, but pseudoscientific generalities like this confuse rather than clarify.
[Likely typo: birds are not mammals.]
How to Create Your LinkedIn Group and Its Power Explained
Sure, but it's more attainable/possible when compared to other occupations, say, doctors, lawyers, footballers, and etc.

Way more attainable.
Someone else can download arc and create political_news.arc or off_Topic.arc I remember playing with news.arc a while back when I wanted to create one for auto news.
I've always thought that a practical use of mega-structures like Niven's Ringworld (or Halo from the video games), besides colonisation, would be to reach higher energy levels in particle physics, like with the LHC. To reach higher energy levels they need a larger circumference... so if you follow that research to extremes... maybe our descendants in the far future will live on what's essentially a massive science experiment.
"1) It would have never got widely used in the industry"

Agreed.

"2) We would have never got a free open source tool that helped kick-start many other companies."

Disagreed. A different open source tool would have gotten the attention and that would have helped kickstart many other companies. Pretty much every open source tool or library has equally open source alternatives, sometimes even just as popular alternatives.

Elasticsearch is no exception, and its alternatives are about to get a surge in popularity.

"You could say the same about Mongo. Imagine what impact it would have had on the startup world if Mongo wasn't a FOSS project."

More startups would have used Postgres instead... Which probably they should have done anyway. Mongo only started to become usable for anything but raw streams of data, IMO, not long before it became source available. And even nowadays, I would still recommend Postgres (or any relational database) over Mongo for 95% of startups, even if it still were open source.

That said, I know that that is not the case with Elasticsearch, which probably is the best among its alternatives.
As far as I know people typically hid from predators at night, not hunted. And were more likely to be active during the light of a full moon rather than a dark night. We really rely on our eyes. And in Africa, where we come from, it's very dangerous to be about at night. That's when the big predators are most active.

Not to mention, not much blue light at night.

A Bitcoin miner that can 51% attack the network will need a huge factory full of mining rigs. A proof of stake miner who wants to 51% attack doesn't need that.
I do not disagree with that.

Interesting -- i wonder what kind of tricks evolved to better arrange windows? Zooming around without knowing "the lay of the window
landscape" sounds like it could get tricky as you expand the amount of window state to a very wide range.

I could imagine this kind of system might necessitate invention of actual good way of auto-rearrange-all-windows strategies?

I don't see windows themselves as a bad thing -- it's having to arrange them that I don't like and wish the os could define conventions for window placement to allow the system to "do what i want" more often without me having to fight it by moving a window around...
Well, now organizations like Wikimedia are going to have to drop Elasticsearch everywhere despite it powering wikipedia article search and more. So congrats on both missing the GP’s point and also failing to see how this license change would shrink Elastic’s usage / market anyway
An unlikely example of a rather unusual megastructure is in the manga/anime Aria:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aria_(manga)

It is a slice of life story about a grouo of gonodoli riding turist guides in a replica Venice on terraformed Mars. You can see terraformed mars quite often in SF, that's not what I'm talking about. Not even the flying islands that hist the power sources keeping the planet warm.

You see in tgis story, there is one thing kinda hiding in plain sight - it's terraformed Mars with Earth strength gravity.

Yes, not 1/3 g but full 1 g and they did it during the terraforming, it's not a mistake by the author.

So how exactly do you triplicate planets gravity withou importing 2 times of it's mass in the proccess ?

By buikding a Mars spanning series of particle accelerators that accelerate dense macroscale objects to near lightspeed under the surface.

Thanks to the theory of relativity things behave as they had much more mass as they approach lightspeed, which is exactly what you need to simulate two more Marses of mass needed to achieve 1 g like on Earth - bam, artificial gravity using known physics! :-)

Just don't thing about the insane amount of energy requured to accelerate so much muss in your accelerator racetracks to lightspeed. Or what would happen if even just one of these superlaminar dense capsules anaged to collide with the accelerator wall, making all other crash as well. Very close supernova might seem like a firecracker in comparison.
Class AMSupportURLConnectionDelegate is implemented in both ?? (0x1edb5b8f0) and ?? (0x122dd02b8). One of the two will be used. Which one is undefined.

It's both amusing and sad to see even simple command-line tools spewing those warnings which are most commonly found in the system log. I don't have a system to check at the moment, but I seem to recall using xcrun a long time ago and it didn't do that. I guess it is as they say, "beauty is only skin deep"...
Asteroid mining.

We could be doing that, but Murica would rather spend it's time at the maul.
> I wonder if this is less a longing for "simpler times" than a longing for a society in which one has more power.

I always thought it was more about control and self determination rather than power for most, something many here running linux and avoiding cloud services can naturally sympathize with. It's a very old urge with even the aristocrats of ancient Rome had similar notions, farming and getting your hands dirty was held in high esteem for instance. We also see it in Tolkiens writing about hobbits who loved farming and never craved power. It's the sort of theme that seems to be a constant desire throughout history.

One of the recipients of the bitcoins is Luke Smith, I don't agree with his politics but from watching his youtube he seems to practice the self sufficiency he preaches to an extent, from growing his own food to running linux. He's a bit like Kaczynski but spends more time on his vim configuration than mail bombs.

> but it's sort of ironic that those fantasies are exchanged and amplified using the most unnatural and complex technology we have at our disposal.

I think in the long run technology will become sufficiently advanced to solve this paradox, anyone that desires to will be able to become fully self sufficient, we'll fire up our 3D printers to make a pencil instead of relying on the global supply chains we do now. It's either that or our psyche has to adapt to being colony animals, but after 2000 years we don't seem to be getting much closer to that.
You are right, it was wrong of me to assert he handed the laptop while intoxicated. Perhaps what I should have said is that given his recent history of addiction, his competence when handling important materials is in question.

Also, the laptop repair shop owner has gone on court to fight for his version of the story.

This is basically HN anytime anything related to audio engineering pops up. I'm sure nobody has thought of trying to address things like latency.
Having been part of the email ecosystem where well established spam filtering and reputation management systems have been in place for years, I've found it interesting how close these more recent conversations are to those we've had around email messaging abuse.

> Thus, as soon as a censorship-resistant social network becomes sufficiently popular, I expect that it will be filled with messages from spammers, neo-nazis, and child pornographers (or any other type of content that you consider despicable).

Unfortunately, I agree this is likely the case, and also agree with many of the other points where there's unlikely to be an agreed upon approach at scale.

I feel the two most important aspects of any moderation are transparency and consistency. I'd always like to know what community I'm joining.

We'll likely see more niche communities continue to pop up on centralized and decentralized networks where the moderation, content and community can be more tailored to their own expectations.

The first few lines of that will print 'm1n1' to the serial port as it initializes other things and eventually jumps to C code.
Are rich people on average fatter than thin people? After all, they can afford more food, so presumably they consume more of it.

Spending has dropped because there are such large subsidies to cheap carbs, and that is the bulk of many people's diets. A steak and veggies is no cheaper than it was 40-50 years ago, but we're eating far more refined junk with additives because it is cheap and convenient.
Website looks nice, and the survey experience is well done. Is it doing well so far?

Feedback tools are an incredibly crowded market (I’ve built a few myself, though in a different part of this industry).
For those who haven't heard of mini before, this site was like Blind but only for Microsoft 20 years ago.

The blogger was anonymous but claimed to be a partner, which is a high level at Microsoft. He openly criticized aspects of the culture and company's direction. Notably he thought the company had gotten too big and needed to have fewer employees (hence the mini Microsoft moniker).

Employees would share salaries, bonuses, and raises every year after reviews in a giant thread of anonymous comments.
Meth addiction can also really mess with sex drives. In college I had a friend who was a social worker and she said that with the growing meth usage meant increased child sex abuse, basically due to parents getting high and then messing with their own kids. This is secondhand, but she was clearly disturbed by what was an increasingly prevalent issue in our college town.
I'm down in south Orange county. We have helicopters near our neighborhood a few times a week. It surprised me a bit when we first moved here. One of our neighbors is a retired deputy and I've talked to him about it handful of times and he isn't sure what the deal is, either. I lived in East LA for a while, so I've had a fair bit of exposure to the things. It's weird for sure.
Fantastic! I wonder if anyone has researched how quickly users can find what they are looking for on different search engines, after a super quick introduction to the basic controls. Of course, everyone has been primed by whatever search engine they have used the most, so that would have to be accounted for.

A particularly common result on DDG which bugs me is whenever I'm searching for something which I'm positive will be answered on Stack Overflow the first page of results includes one Stack Overflow question and the rest of the results are from other sites. This can be annoying when the search is basically "how to convert X to Y", and the only Stack Overflow result is "how to convert Y to X". The similar results for each site shown on Google is a killer app in these situations, and is probably the main reason I "!g".
Maybe for servers. But it still has plenty of rough edges as a desktop OS. Mint is a much better choice (IMO) for the desktop, that still is somewhat within the Debian ecosystem.
> “He was a crazy good coder. Except he would always code everything the hardest way possible, kind of like you hired Rembrandt to paint your bathroom. You know it is going to be lit, but over the top.”

> Why did he go into the woods to begin with? There is a simple, if reductive, answer that might apply to anyone whose mind is going sideways. We go outside because it helps take us inside ourselves. We stand in the trees, breathe in the scent of cedar, and we can think and feel. Our phones don’t ring and our screens don’t beckon us. We stand in the vastness of nature, remember how small we are, and everything slows down.
I heard on NPR that the EU as a whole is ordering the vaccines so there's probably a bit of red tape holding things up.
Robinhood for real estate investing with $5. Is this legit?
Yeah, there's a bunch of stuff in AArch64 that takes getting used to - for example, fixed-length instructions (everything is a 32-bit instruction!), tons of sanely-named registers (X0~X30, W0~W30), shorter literals (all literals need to fit in a 32-bit instruction), and so much more. Plus, it's a total break from AArch32 - I'm pretty comfortable with 32-bit ARM code, and yet 64-bit ARM code still looks pretty unusual to me.
How about forever.
Next sentence is

> Making the functionality of the Program or modified version available to third parties as a service includes, without limitation, enabling third parties to interact with the functionality of the Program or modified version remotely through a computer network, offering a service the value of which entirely or primarily derives from the value of the Program or modified version.

and IMO (IANAL) that would put some of the services that offer log ingestion / indexing / querying in legal gray area.
I too would love to see this! Also- perhaps you could have it modulate in steps rather than just arbitrary frequencies so that it can be played in tune with other things.
The thought is that collections should be homogeneous so that for most use cases,

* The number of items would be so small that search would not be necessary, e.g. a collection personal projects

* The items would fall naturally into a timeline so you can search trivially by scrolling, e.g. RAW photos grouped together by month

* The items would be easily identified by name, e.g. MP3 files grouped by album (why am I still holding onto these?)

The intention is not to upload 1000s of individual files in a jumble, but instead, a much smaller number of archives. E.g. If you are archiving the previous semester's homework assignments, instead of uploading a bunch of random documents, each item would be an archive of the assignments from a particular class. You could tag each item with 'Fall 2020' if you want to improve the organization. I'm intending to make that an easy process, where you point the program at a directory and it packages, tags and uploads each subfolder.
I have a feeling that these algorithms feeding different people different news feeds probably has some bearing on the state current affairs.

It especially makes it hard to predict what any particular person or group of people will do next, since you may not know what they are seeing or how they are framing things.

This makes division almost inevitable, and reconciliation becomes very difficult.
I know it’s not competing with permissive licenses. That’s my point. The people here acting like the fact that companies are profiting off of Apache 2.0 licensed code are being unreasonable was my point.

Separately, I think this move will just hurt Elastic Co in the long term. The organization I work for runs a 30 TB elastic cluster and we’re going to have to go drop Elasticsearch because of this change because we’re committed to using free and open source software. What a shame.
Anyone care to list the "things they wish were different" ?

Trying to remember how to build a package some months back I ran into all the old headaches. Debian packaging is ancient, and the packages don't provide all the information and functionality other package management formats do. Trying to contribute a package (much less write one) is a pain. The structure of the files and how to build them seems over-complicated, and at the same time not very useful. The tools largely rely on a bunch of weird magic variables to fix common problems. Modern conventions could be added as tool shortcuts, like installing a package once in a container and then cleaning up all the crap you don't need before saving the layer. Navigating the website requires a high degree of tribal knowledge that no other distribution does (compare looking for packages across Debian releases to looking for packages across Alpine releases, as a neophyte). Why do source packages have to be renamed when nobody else does this?

Is there a sort of "wish list" or "suggestions box" for Debian? This is something I wish I had at work, but not sure how to manage it.
All of us building this should get together.

My approach is to program myself with Python. Think dynamic time-blocking on steroids.

This looks basically like assembly code for practically any embedded system - reading/writing hardware registers to interact with UARTs. Nice job (& best of luck with the Asahi Linux project - very exciting!)
>conspiracy to commit sedition

It's somewhat amusing to me that you think this is evidence in your favor. The media narrative for impeachment was that Trump commanded his legion of protestors to go destroy the capitol building. A "coup"!

The reality is the planned attack began before his protestors could have moved from the ellipse at the end of his speech to the capitol.

The FBI is stating there was a seditious false flag conspiracy planned by BLM/Antifa activists to instigate an attack the capitol and place blame on Trump's protestors.

John Sullivan from Utah is a professional rioter and BLM/Antifa activist. Capitol police tried to let him off without charges:

https://twitter.com/Millie__Weaver/status/134772283302420070...

He has now been indicted by the federal government.

https://www.justice.gov/opa/page/file/1354781/download

Giuliani did a pretty good walkthrough with John Sullivan's own video if you care to watch that,

The "violent coup" narrative was instigated by some of the same people who rioted all summer long.
62% of all trips in the UK are made by car, compared to 26% by foot, 6% by bus, 3% by train, 2% by bicycle. https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/...

It is not as entirely car dominated as the USA, but I think it's pretty fair to call it "car reliant".
For the photographers here, I'm currently in the initial research phase but building a dead-simple service which lets you dump your finished images into a folder - this gets rendered beautifully on a public URL which you can share with friends / family or clients (Kinda like SmugMug - but I hate that they only let you have your portfolio for 30 days for free and it gets deleted after that).

A second part of this (for a cost) planned for later is - you can dump a much larger, unprocessed collection of your images and someone in the backend will manually cull your images, and make quick edits before making it live on the site. This is mainly for people who usually skip editing or prefer if someone else do it quickly / cheaply for them.

Please let me know your thoughts and suggestions, would really appreciate it!
From what I've seen of Biden's plans, that's what he's going to do - just calm, very little changes.

He isn't going to overturn Trump's things, but also not continue them. (At least the things I checked on - for example he won't keep building the wall, but he's also not going to take it down.)

But he'll probably have pressure to actively overturn everything, so who knows.
Looking forward to the updates benchmarks on hello world programs.
