That assumes that disconnecting from the grid is a viable option. During this issue, disconnecting from the grid had a substantial chance of causing your pipes to freeze and burst. I wouldn't hold my breath that your insurance will cover that if you turned off your own power.

One of my takeaways is that you really don't want people trying to attempt DIY heating systems. There were ~450 calls for carbon monoxide poisoning, related to people trying to heat their homes with non-electric sources or sources that worked at all. A lot of people tried to run camping stoves indoors. Others ran generators indoors. I believe a girl died because her family tried to stay warm in the car in the garage with the door closed.

> with the available power going to those willing to pay more, presumably because they need it more or can afford it.

I vehemently disagree with this. Wealthy customers should not be able to push the price of electricity high enough that others can't afford to heat their homes. Letting the market figures it out means that those with financial means get to make a choice about what to do, while the poor are universally shoehorned into the worse of the two options.

A significant part of the base load is inelastic demand. People need to heat their homes. People need their refrigerator to work so their food doesn't go bad in a time when you may or may not be able to get groceries. People need to charge their cellphones so they can let their family know that they're okay.
> Just that it is a fallacy to think the government simply has infinite money to spend.

They create the money so they literally do. Doesn't mean it shouldn't be deployed wisely of course.
This is not really in the wild or even the "wild" by any reasonable definition:

1. The exploit isn't by a real attacker. It comes from a pen-testing firm (white hats).

2. It was patched years ago, probably written years ago. Article doesn't say what happens when the kernel is newer than 2018 but presumably, it doesn't work? Spectre is still relevant for programs sandboxing code within themselves like browsers, but for normal patched systems, it doesn't seem to matter.

3. There are still no known cases of real attackers using Spectre, even though we have just seen an attack that Microsoft claimed may have had more than 1000 developers working on it (the Solar Winds supply chain attack). Spectre just doesn't seem like a very interesting way in for attackers compared to other types of vulnerability.
I mean, the second paragraph starts with "First, this wasn’t an issue of not renewing the domain."

Thanks zadjii, I have really been enjoying the new Windows Terminal and the new settings UI is pretty slick. It's been something I have been desiring ever since I started doing web development on Windows years ago.

It would be nice if the automatic shell detection picked up Git Bash installations.

No info on cost, and no info on operating system support.

Anything that's COM Express is produced in very small quantities and is very expensive. I'll be shocked if it isn't 3 to 4x the cost of a single socket 8-core Ryzen that runs circles around it in performance.
You're debating some statement entirely removed from its context, which was to argue against a certain aggressiveness in encounters with citizens.

You can't shoot your way out of a heart attack or random car crashes.

(Also, and this just continues your already lost line of argumentation, "exertion" does not cause heart attacks, considering it's basically a synonym for sports. Too much red meat, beer, alcohol, anger, air pollution, and, yes, donuts do)
What's underground today? Genuinely curious.
Imagine next: the trolls start petitioning Medium to remove his articles and terminate his account for violating their policies and or Amazon for hosting Medium which hosts content published by "racists". Soon the only thing left for this life-long journalist will be mopping floors.

This may get worse before it gets better, but it will get better eventually.

passion != positive energy, I know plenty of grumpy passionate people.

Also you're thinking from the perspective of the customer, not from the perspective of the people who have to work with that surgeon every day. As a colleague of that surgeon, you'll probably enjoy working with someone who shows up to work enthusiastic about being there more than someone who shows up to work grumpy every day.
I agree that we could be more creative in approaching the quality-of-life/resource-use balance (including in favour of improving quality of life). However, we could have started that conversation and research back in the 1970s when the science started to tell us we needed to. But we didn’t. This is absolutely a problem of politics and power above a technical problem.
> Multiple people familiar with the situation told The Daily Beast that an internal investigation was conducted about the claims and that the top science reporter was reprimanded. The paper also reached out to some parties who complained to apologize for McNeil’s behavior and to assure the students and parents that action had been taken internally against him.

Not a single accuser was named. Goes on to use "people familiar with the situation" and "Some parties". Even hit pieces on journalists are effectively sourceless. Journalism is dead.
I'm most excited about the windowing improvements in 1.7. That's something that I've been working on for a while, and marks the start of actual deliverable progress in this area.

At the end of this road is support for actually being able to tear out and re-attach tabs. It's such a common use case for other tabbed applications, but the Terminal wasn't really designed from the start to support.
Founder of Streak here.

I think this is a really great opportunity for someone who is interested in building large scale front end systems. Two interesting technical problems we're working on right now:
1) building a spreadsheet UI that stays performant with millions of cells
2) making Streak's performance impact negligible inside the hostile environment that is Gmail

By async compute, do you mean something different than what CUDA streams expose?

AMD’s compute cards have generally been worse than Nvidia’s as far as I know.
This is the paper surrounding Timnit's "departure" from Google.

If you're on Timnit's side, "departure" means "firing", and the paper is the reason she was fired.

If you're on Google's side, "departure" means "mutually-agreeable resignation", with Timnit's melodramatic and unprofessional response to normal feedback.

Personally, I don't see anything in this paper that implicates Google or would be reasonable for Google to try to suppress, so I'm falling into the camp of trusting Google's side of the story. But who knows?
It was supposedly one of the reasons Disney fired Gina Carano. However, she had apparently been annoying the powers that be with her generally Trumpian social media postings for a while.
The concern is not exactly passion but what qualities it takes to maintain that passion.

Is it realistic to expect a parent in their 40s have the same level of passion as a single engineer in their 20s? If not, passion can become a shorthand for age-discrimination.

Does passion, as mentioned below, mean late nights fueled by monster drinks? If so, does it become a shorthand for 'people with disabilities need not apply'? ( I have a condition where "lack of sleep" means "more likely to have a seizure" )

Does passion preclude people with religious obligations?

If the only people with passion are young health atheists with no family or time commitments then passion is discriminatory, and it valuable to have a discussion about what effect that has on our industry and our society.
Link is faulty: https://www.quobyte.com/company/careers
Just this past weekend a disabled animator was blacklisted from the industry because an ex-friend objected to their NSFW drawings on a twitter handle (completely separate from their professional handle). The number of death threats were also an immense psychological toll, and a bit more than just "being yelled at" (I am open to the fact there is a fuzzy continuum between the two).

Regardless - "some companies won't work with you" is effectively a blacklist for those who don't have traditional backgrounds. Another point is that the online social circles acts as a support network for some disenfranchised folks (queers like myself), and when that gets turned against them, it gets ugly.

I don't think I'm exaggerating that we're in a satanic panic against certain kind of art and works.

Fly.io | Elixir Dev Advocate | Remote (US time-zones preferred) | Full Time

Fly.io is a hosting platform for distributed applications. Our users give us containers; we transmute them into fleets of Firecracker micro-VMs and run them on a WireGuard-backed network that runs app servers close to end users.
We are (almost) the ideal Elixir/Phoenix hosting infrastructure because:

* Built in encrypted private networking means simple and secure clustering

* Running app processes close to users minimizes LiveView latency

* HA PostgreSQL clusters are the default

We are hiring an Elixir dev advocate to improve our tooling and show people how to get the most out of Elixir on Fly.io. This is important – our primary goal is to attract more Elixir devs as customers.

See here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26288121

To apply, email jobs+elixir@fly.io, tell us in a few sentences what you like about Elixir.
It was never the intention that regular people would run nodes. Satoshi envisioned that eventually nodes would run in large datacenters: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=532.msg6306#msg6306

"The current system where every user is a network node is not the intended configuration for large scale. That would be like every Usenet user runs their own NNTP server. The design supports letting users just be users. The more burden it is to run a node, the fewer nodes there will be. Those few nodes will be big server farms. The rest will be client nodes that only do transactions and don't generate."

6TB is absolutely nothing in terms of storage. That is close to a single consumer device today, notwithstanding that storage is dropping in price constantly. For datacenters you could increase this by orders of magnitude and nobody would bat an eyelid.

As a design to put into a 1U case that location for the CPU on the daughterboard above the motherboard is really problematic, because it leaves almost no headroom for a proper passive heatsink.

In a well engineered 1U server setup you want the motherboard to be as low to the bottom of the chassis as possible, then the CPU in its socket, and a big passive heatsink (either aluminum or skived copper) occupying almost all the rest of the vertical room inside the case. The server should be like a front to back wind tunnel where the 40mm fans are moving air through the CPU heatsink(s) without the need for separate fans on top of the CPUs themselves.

The fan unit on top of that is really problematic from a above-the-fan vertical clearance and airflow perspective.

Additionally the SODIMM slots are blocking a typical airflow path from the front edge of the motherboard towards the rear. More normally a server motherboard for 1U would not use laptop size RAM, but would use normal size DIMMs oriented in such a way that they're parallel to the path of airflow.

(disclosure: I used to work for a server manufacturer and was responsible for procuring components from Taiwanese vendors, and designing new generations of 1U single and dual socket boxes to custom specs)
Seems secure.
this is common whataboutism. What about the dark ages ? What about burning witches ? If we claim to be a compassionate society we should be anti-censorship and let ideas succeed or fail through the strength of their argument.

Have you ever been FORCED to upgrade/update against your will for a new release whereby you say NO NO NO - then you make the mistake of falling asleep with your phone plugged into the charger to wake to a forced update to your device?

Yeah - fuck apple - and fuck Jonny Ive - they claim to be the masers of all aspects of designs, but really they're they masters of /r/assholedesign

Their hardware is in the top 70th % - but their UX is IMO <25%

(just look at how many clicks you need to do certain tasks, such as bluetooth. They have a slide-up menu to toggle BT and WIFI - but you have to go to desktop->settings->bluetooth->(toggle it on off/refresh)->find the device-> "cant connect" - Toggle BT on both phone and device -> attempt to connect...

But you cant up-swipe hit BT and have it show you the FN menu on screen.

You cant backup and manage all your prefs via icloud - such that you can apply profiles, save profiles, etc from your device to your linked cloud account and say "I always want my privacy to be thus, these are the networks I trust.

Their photos library mgmt is absolute garbage. You have no photo details available to you.

Their albums are garbage.

There are so many interactions that require like 5x more clicks than they should.

Their screens suck.

Their device accessory ecosystem sucks and punishes you for profit with impunity.

They exploit chinese slave labor.

They try to charge you for flaws in the HW provided (recall the balloon battery problem?

I had a macbook pro CATCH FIRE while I was asleep in bed. They said they "recognize that was a safety problem, but because our engineers (after two months of having the machine) determined that at one time the liquid sensor was set off, we cannot replace your machine EVEN THOUGH IT WAS UNDER RECALL FOR THE CLASS OF PROS THAT WERE RECALLED FOR CATCHING FIRE.

FUCK APPLE.
That's exactly the point for settings fragments! It'd be impossible for us to detect everything that anyone wanted to add to the Terminal, but hopefully now git bash can ship a snippet with their installer that the Terminal would automatically pick up!

> The second part is certainly true. But are you sure about the first part? If you ask anybody who make America what it is, the answer "journalists" maybe won't pass 10%.

Without a free press, you're left with PR (or propaganda, to use its original name). You can't have much of a democracy if that's how the citizenry are "informed." This is shown by how one of the first things budding authoritarians do in backsliding democracy is attack the free press and gain control over it (e.g. https://www.hrw.org/news/2020/07/24/hungary-editors-sacking-...).

There's a high likelihood that someone will respond to my comment with a false equivalency claiming journalism is propaganda.
In my experience in the US, the cost of even essential coverage varies dramatically by zip code. For example, when I moved 1 mile from Cleveland Heights to Piedmont Ave in Oakland, CA, my rates went down by more than 20%.

So yea, significantly more expensive for poor people.

Many people mistake passion for other qualities, perseverance, determination, drive, etc.

Successful people do things because they need to get it done to move forward. It’s part of process and must be accomplished.

Fleeting emotions like passion doesn’t lead to success.

Determination, drive, perseverance, and any process that make one work towards achievement usually leads to success.

I don't think that makes you a coward, it just means that you value other things over being 'right'. Some people are obsessed with always 'winning', and don't pay attention to how their fighting can hurt people and relationships.

I obviously don't know you or the specifics of your disagreements, but I think you should be forgiving of yourself.
In the general case, you're not allowed to teach at Liberty unless you're a very specific type of conservative christian. A statement of faith is a required component of the faculty application packet. The student code of conduct prohibits homosexual behavior.

Passing off Liberty as a bastion of free expression because they invited Sanders to give a speech is beyond disingenuous, and a perfect example of the enormous double standard in discussions of "cancel culture" right now.
IMO, copy-and-pasting bash commands is an organizational smell to begin with, but I don't think this particular use case is a reason not to use one shell over another. If you do have a snippet of bash to run, it's easy enough to toss it in a file (with a shebang) and run it as a shell script. And as a bonus, it's reusable and you can add comments/notes for when you have to run it again.
