Can you point to the special case here?

http://man.cat-v.org/plan_9/3/proc

Because it replaces ptrace, and seems to work perfectly fine when I mount it over 9p. It's used by acid, which needs no additional utilities: http://man.cat-v.org/plan_9/1/acid

For a full implementation of remote login using these interfaces, here's the code:

http://shithub.us/ori/plan9front/fd1db35c4d429096b9aff1763f2...

It's a bit complex because it needs to do more than just forward mouse, keyboard and drawing -- signals need to be interposed and forwarded, and there are a few other subtle things that need to happen in the namespace. And because it contains both the client and server code. Even so, it's still small compared to VNC.

And yes, shithub is hosted on plan 9.

Worldtimebuddy is great but if you're looking for something even better, on Mac you cannot beat 'The Clock' app. Exact same functionality as Worldtimebuddy but goes farther and allows renaming those clocks. If Dan is on EST and Jules is on NRT, rename the EST clock to Dan and the NRT clock to Jules and slide back and forth to easily do the timezone math.

If you work for a cloud company and need to schedule cross AZ work this little app will save your life. What is local time in IAD when SYD is doing 10PM maintenance local time? What about NRT? :-)
Open Source Initiative board election scrapped after rigged outcome
How can you say they have zero skin in the game after watching video after video after video of Black people being murdered. After an elected president brags about sexual assault. After Asian hate crimes are occurring all over the country. After LGBT+ people are assaulted and or murdered. Political activists in America have reached a generational level. Minorities in America have been mistreated and repressed for hundreds of years and they need and deserve it to be fixed. Not to mention that a whole generation of TV personalities and politicians have spent AT LEAST the last 20years demonizing anyone who protests for Civil rights or climate change. To say this is an extremely privileged POV is a massive understatement IMO.
I'm in LA and it's not extremely uncommon. I'm also seeing it in a few other Southern California areas.

IMHO, what's needed is a way for appliances to obtain a real, permanent global domain name (and therefore certificates, email, etc.).

There's a bunch of mostly-obsolete rules that assume domains are held by organizations with full-time staffs (like whois contact records, per-domain ICANN fees, UDRP, etc.) a tld like ".thing" that allows non-humans to claim permanent global names on a first-come-first-serve basis would let autonomous hardware devices integrate with the existing infrastructure without hacks and exceptions. Maybe a ccTLD could be convinced to do this?
and mines. With mines you would already have a good idea of the rock composition and layers. I wanted to put a literal "man cave" in a mine by parking an RV in one, but I can't find any good documentation on restrictions per state on personally owned mines vs. claims.
> Steve Bannon publicly called for the beheading of Dr. Fauci

1) No, he used a metaphor. I suggest you read what he said:

“I’d actually like to go back to the old times of Tudor England, I’d put the heads on pikes, right, I’d put them at the two corners of the White House as a warning to federal bureaucrats,” he continued. “You either get with the program or you’re gone, time to stop playing games.”

The Tudor period was 1485 to 1603.

Maybe somebody can comment on whether leftists misunderstand what a metaphor is, or whether it's a dishonest narrative to discredit Bannon?

2) Frankly, Fauci was useless, so no great loss either way.

He admitted that he's only interested in covid-19 medical information, without context for any other public policy (educational, economic, non-corona health, etc.)

Knex, the SQL query builder, uses Tarn.js[1] for connection pooling to the db.

I've been using Tarn a bunch at work recently. We're doing some batch jobs, and I'm queuing work at each stage in Tarn.js pools. I created my own enqueue function that waits until the pool is less than a high-water mark in size before enqueueing. Then the pool has however many workers running.

Neither of these are off-thread pools. But they help a lot of for managing multiple async operations.

Ever see those banking website ads or financial planning brochures that tell you that you can become a millionaire by the time you retire if you sock away just $75 a month through the magic of compound interest? The math checks out, but the longer the time horizon the more likely it is that wars, bankruptcies, currency devaluations, revolutions, government confiscations, hyperinflationary periods, and other economic cataclysms will wipe out your investment.

checked your tools page for "zoom" with ctrl-f - wondering what you are using for zooming in.

some years ago I had a microsoft mouse that included a third button and a driver-addon (I think) - that gave a great magnified box you could move around the screen until you unclicked the third button)

I would love to find a way to do this magnified box again - when finding zoom in your comments, should I assume that you are using camtasia and doing it in post?

I'd love to have this zoom ability for making videos but also when screen sharing live.
Can somebody please just make a NUC-type device that I can purchase as a unit with the following included:

Rasberry PI 8GB + WiFi + Bluetooth
NVMe >= 128gb
Power supply appropriate for PI+NVMe (3.5A perhaps?)
Case with appropriate cooling
Ubuntu >= 20.04

I would pay up to $200 USD for such a product. Why not an intel NUC? Because I want to leave this on 24/7 and run various cron jobs etc, so I want the low-power ARM chip.

Yes I can build it myself, but shopping for, gathering all the parts etc is time consuming and I'd rather be writing my apps etc to run on the device instead...

I find texting to be one of the worst forms of communication for anything other than short Q&A type communication. Maybe writing letters is a lost art form, like in the past but this was out of necessity more than anything. Emoji's don't replace hearing of a person's voice or reactions to what a person is saying.

Text is too often misconstrued and again emoj's don't solve this problem. The fact that emoji speak even exists is really odd to me, but I guess thats an "ok boomer" for me.
Employment with respect to Amazon or its contractors is an adversarial system. Giving your adversaries time to prepare only negatively effects the companies' ability to extract maximum labor at the lowest cost. Sure some employees will quit rather than sign, but that number is small. Some will sign with the intention of quiting as soon as possible. Amazon still made its money and burns and churns through recruiters and contractors to deal with the turnover. Working for Amazon is like gambling in a casino, the house always wins as evidenced by the stock price.
Really impressive results.

Sorry for my ignorance on the topic, but will this have any impact on other JVM languages or will this mostly only benefit Java itself?

I realize even though I use JVM languages now and then I do not really know if they use their own GC implementation or make use of Java's. Does this differ between the languages maybe?
> I have a problem with people who lose their objectivity as a result of their enthusiasm for Rust and go around shouting in every project like it's the most important thing to happen in the last 30 years of Computer Science. It's an annoying trend the last 4-5 years.

I hear this a lot and I've never witnessed it once. ;)

It's all filter bubbles, dude. Chill. The world is not ending.

As an example: the comments from both Linus/Greg and the Rust community that relate to the OP are quite balanced and nobody is shouting for revolutions.

---

...That being said, I wouldn't make grandiose claims about Rust myself even if it solved a lot of problems for me, but still: Rust is an important innovation regardless. It seems a lot of the software area has chased its own tail before we had some languages step forward and solve various problems that people kept trying to fix themselves on an ad-hoc basis (and kept failing at it).

Rust is one example, Erlang/Elixir are another, and when OCaml finally gains parallel abilities, it will be an additional (and very fine) example as well. Surely other examples exist.

If we're now discussing just the point you quoted me on -- I on my side take issue with the people who are way too liberal and love to pretend that it doesn't matter what language is being used regardless of the business and technical problems. Because oh my god yes, yes it does matter. A lot.
This is interesting, but it also says nothing about fine-tuning, which is likely outside the realms of the scientific method.

> Why do you keep saying these measures have done nothing to rhinovirus?

Because they haven't.

> The link you've shared does not support that. It shows relative percentages - and you're confusing that for absolute infection counts.

I am not confusing it. It shows you the percentage of samples they test that come up positive for rhinovirus (and other things. They test for all of the things listed, in parallel.)

Influenza A & B, RSV, and some other viruses have been virtually eliminated across their sampled population. The rate has dropped to zero. Rhinovirus has not -- the rate of detection is unchanged.

At the scale we do it, farming is not a healthy relationship to the environment. It does immense damage.

Right now, livestock are 60% of the biomass of all mammals on the planet. Humans are 36%, leaving only 4% wild mammals. Our poultry has three times the biomass of wild birds.[1] Food production takes up 40% of the Earth's land mass.[2]

Scientists have defined nine "planetary boundaries" we need to avoid crossing to avoid environmental catastrophe. For the ones related to farming, we've already crossed the boundaries for land use, biodiversity, and the nitrogen cycle, we're close for the phosphorus cycle, and over halfway there for freshwater use.[3]

According to the book Clean Meat, a 2011 study found that cultured beef would use 99% less land and 96% water. We feed nine calories to chicken to get one calorie of meat.

If we were to convert to cultured meat and milk, we could stop most deforestation and let most of that 40% of land mass revert to native forest and prairie. We'd pull back from those planetary boundaries and absorb gigatons of carbon. Do the same with fish and maybe ocean populations could recover.

That would be a healthy relationship with our environment.

>After reaching that initial 10ms goal, we re-aimed and set our target on something more ambitious. Namely that a GC pause should never be longer than 1ms. Starting with JDK 16, I’m happy to report that we’ve reached that goal too. ZGC now has O(1) pause times. In other words, they execute in constant time and do not increase with the heap, live-set, or root-set size (or anything else for that matter). Of course, we’re still at the mercy of the operating system scheduler to give GC threads CPU time. But as long as your system isn’t heavily over-provisioned, you can expect to see average GC pause times of around 0.05ms (50 µs) and max pause times of around 0.5ms (500 µs).

Very impressive and well done. Should Azul be worried?
This has been proposed quite a few times, but the problem comes down to that it requires letting a single participant "lock down" the entire liquidity pair.

For the above scheme to work, Alice's reveal would have to occur at a later block than her initial commit. Otherwise an arbitrage bot could simply peek at the reveal before the commit is mined. Also Alice's commit has to lock the chain until its reveal. Otherwise when her reveal is propagated on the P2P network, the arbitrage bot could jump the queue in front of her commit and still exploit her.

You're now talking about the market freezing for 12-seconds (the block time) on every single trade. That's completely infeasible for any sort of liquid pair like ETH/USDT. Not to mention a single malicious player could DDoS the entire market. Or use it as a free option during periods of high volatility: lock the market then "reveal" in whatever direction the centralized exchanges moved in the lock-up period.

Maybe you could only lock "big trades", but that in itself reveals a lot of information. You don't necessarily know the direction, but you can likely infer it with high certainty. For example if Alice doesn't own much of a token, then it's nearly certain she's buying not selling.
I just want to say that I think most (If not all) of the vitriol is not directed towards you, but GitLab itself.

> Problem with phone calls is that they are synchronous, yet quite often things callers want to resolve can be resolved asynchronously (= via text messages & emails), but you can handle those when it's convenient.

Very true. The OP doesn't understand phone calls interrupt people most of the time unnecessarily. I like texts and emails, because I can process them whenever it's convenient for me, not when it's convenient for the other person.
There are related problems in computer science -- e.g. how quickly can you multiply a pair of 65536x65536 extended double precision matrices together. Note that each matrix consume ~68GB of memory, so you need (probably) at least 200GB to store the two input matrices and the output matrix. So far, so good.

Now you want to see how fast it can really go if you are prepared to spend (say) $100k on the hardware (e.g. 64 times as many CPUs with some fancy interconnect fabric). How about spending $100M? It turns out that moving all this data around is also quite costly.....
Making productive retro of a feature that went over estimation
Our team got into the situation in which a feature that was planned to take 2-3 days (estimated as 5 days, because a less experienced developer was working on it) took almost 2 months to build. The feature was in python - previously the developer didn't have experience with it, but it was as fairly simple: mapping an input to external API and mapping the response back.

How would you advise us to do a productive retrospection of the events that happened without turning it into a blame war?
Glad you're liking Prosody! There is a lot of work underway to improve the iOS experience, particularly in the Monal and Siskin projects.

100x the annual yield would be assuming a 1% interest rate, so I'm guessing it's worth quite a bit less than that. Long-term government bonds give 2+% returns and fixed term annuities/MYGAs are giving ~4% returns, as far as I know. So I would expect a value more like 30–50 times its eternal annual payments. Heck, inflation is around 2%, so eventually this will be worthless.

A while back there was this teardow post on reddit and HN as well, if I remember correctly, where some developer reverse engineered the tiktok app.

Or at least thst is what the post he made wrote it out to be.

I actually took the time to read through that looong post and read through his massive dumps of completely irrelevant logs and code dumps.

Only to find that there was not a single case of the tiktok app using anything but the official OS API on both iOS and Android.

Not a single case. And yet the post generated this common belief that it was straight up malware thst would hijack your device.

They did use the API to the fullest, just as most major social apps do, but there was not a single example of the app going beyond that.

I hate tiktok, and hate how China is violating human rights. But I am not going to indulge myself in lies to further that sort of agenda.

>But yeah, sure, sounds great for the tiny number of people who don't require any of the above.

Most people actually need none of that stuff. I think there's a lot of illusions that come with social media. Having 500 Facebook friends you chat with two times per year is not friendship in a real sense of the term.

What many people are looking for arguably these days and what has somewhat been lost is lifelong, strong bonds and real conversations between people you have unconditional trust with. Having two of those is better than a million Instagram followers.

Same with 'keeping up with culture and trends'. Like what does that actually mean. Is anyone really better off when they follow Kim Kardashians daily drama? Is hooking into every trend really producing independent, smart, autonomous, strong-willed people? There's value in disconnecting and spending time with yourself and alone that many younger kids in particular don't have space for any more.

Uhmm which is it? That it doesn't work with JS disabled sort of answers which statement is accurate. Who knows, maybe it works for others with JS disabled?
