I would love to use Mullvad, but I need split tunneling on a per-process basis (Windows), since there is the occasional website that hates VPN-based servers. I have a special browser installation I use for such occasions, but few VPN providers offer per-process VPN exceptions. Any chance Mullvad is considering this feature?
But without some statistical knowledge, isn’t there a risk of a lack of understanding about the robustness of “what works”?
No, because as they note constants can have a default type[0]. For integer constants, that's `int`. Meaning if a literal integer constant is not otherwise typed, it will default to `int`.

Now, i guess that - like last time - we're going to have news everywhere claiming that scientists "created life" (again).

Increasingly is seems like corporations are providing products to other corporations, and the number of humans involves is dropping.

Thus the increasing divide between the 1% and the 99%, stock markets hitting all time highs, while ever more people worry about basic necessities and even the most basic employment.
A real humdinger

What’s interesting is the iPhone Bluetooth experience with Apple products is excellent. I remember my partner used to have an Android wear watch for her Android phone and it was constantly disconnecting and having to be disconnected/reconnected to fix issues. When I got my Apple Watch, I couldn’t believe how smooth the experience was. To the point where if you didn’t know it ran off Bluetooth you would think it is some new protocol. Similar experience with AirPods as well.

But my question was why does this matter? As far as I know, you don't have to use systemd's ntp thing. You might disagree with the project vision of systemd wanting to include an ntp daemon, but it sounds like it hasn't cause you or the chrony people any real harm. There was a good chance that, if systemd didn't have an ntp daemon, you'd have to replace your distro's default with chrony anyway. So just do that here, too, no?

> And that is exactly my point about things being tightly-coupled. If I (rightly or wrongly) perceive journald to be garbage, how do I not-use it?

You can't, AFAIK. And that sucks. I know you can disable its on-disk logs and enabled some other syslog service, though. In what way(s) is that insufficient?

Are there any other example of tight coupling that are bothersome in systemd?
I always wondered why we reward vapid pop star hacks who can't do anything without a freaking team of people doing everything for them.

Like Britney Spears for example, can't play instrument, can barely sing, can barely dance, needs a choreographer, can't write music nor lyrics.

And I'm not talking about Britney Spears now, I'm talking in her prime.

All she really brought to the table was her looks and ok singing ability and the ability to move to someone else's choreography.

No innovations of her own. Little inherent talent. And then in mid 2000s she put on some weight and then couldn't even do the choreography well and she always needs some backup vocals in live performances and what you hear on the CD is all super processed vocals.

In general, pop stars since then are just conduits for the efforts of more talented people.

Sure, you got the few talented ones like Michael Jackson and Paula Abdul (who, though not a great singer, a world class choreographer). But the rest of them ... same crap.

I'd rather see an ugly old haggard dude who looks like Lemmy perform songs that they wrote and composed on their guitar.
Do you have recommendations on where to find this stuff?

I agree that there seems to be a lot of interesting work going on and the ideas of decentralized finance have a lot of potential. At the moment it really is hard to cut through the noise though and from what I can find just searching for an afternoon it looks like a minefield. I'm hoping that the bad stuff will all fade away and something useful will remain.
I mean, let's think about this a bit. The US generated about 4.13 trillion kilowatt-hours in 2019, and that generation emitted about 1.72 billion metric tons of CO2, or about 0.92 pounds of CO2 per kWh (https://www.eia.gov/tools/faqs/faq.php). Let's assume Google gets their power at that rate (which is unfair to Google because they claim to use 100% renewable energy, but I don't want to get into that).

A typical server rack might use anywhere from maybe 5-50 kWh. Let's say Google has really beefy ones that consume 100 kWh per hour. That's 92 pounds of CO2 per hour. For the 12 seconds you mentioned, that's still only 0.011 kilograms of total CO2 used. And the claim is that they're BETTER by 4.5 kilograms.

They've gotta be talking about some other expense than the server. But what sort of expense? The cost to build a server? Something about general maintenance of the Internet? ISPs between clients and the server?

No. See what he said,

Then you are missing my point of criticism.

The elites put together the artifact that we call the Stock Market. And when the elites play there, they have pretty much a free reign to do as they wish. Sure, there are rules... But as how they're enforced is a whole other matter. And for even the rules that are enforced - if they only have a fine component, they are only meant for the lower classes. Fines for the elites are only a cost of doing business.

And my comments weren't exclusively of bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies. I remember what happened around late February 2021 regarding shorting GME and /r/wallstreetbets . It was yet another case of a hedge fund trying to bankrupt a company in the same way that Toys-R-Us, Sears, and others have had happen to them (by the elite class, no less). And when r/WSB fought against them, corporate elite sycophants like Robinhood and others forbid the very transactions. . When the masses comes together, the elites effectively unionize into a huge bloc, but that didn't save Melvin Capital.

What you call whataboutism is what I call "inherent rigging of the market by the elites against the middle class". It just so happens that the elites didn't get into cryptocurrency until much later, so we see these kinds of one-sided articles.
Wars are inherently destructive and can only be funded for prolonged periods of time with mountains of debt. Especially if you can extract taxes backing this debt relatively painlessly. Extracting Bitcoin from individual wallets is no small feat, and Bitcoin-backed (fractionally, of course) notes would not have the same advantage as paper bills over gold coins. Bitcoin is divisible, storable and transferrable well enough to be used as-is.
I'm one of those incongruent persons. Being wary of many VPN services, I never committed to using one, although I really wanted to start. Of course, I am aware of Mullvad and I could still skip the intermediary. However, I trust Mozilla more, as I've been following them for so long.

It sounds funny, because I do acknowledge exactly what you're saying. I'm in tech, interested in using VPN for years. I researched some, but was put off if they would mishandle my data. In the end, it will be Mullvad who will be dealing with my data, after all. But now I kinda trust them more after Mozilla.

I know it sounds illogical, just explaining how I feel about this.
A)I don’t have $150k+ To just go invest in land or real estate that I’m not going to reside in.

B)Are stocks and bonds inflation resistant if they are priced in the inflating currency? Not just normal year over year inflation but the type of inflation that happens when you debase a currency. Regardless, I already own these, the first rule of investing is diversification.

C)gold is inflation resistant and tangible so I agree that is the best option if you are truly worried about SHTF but it’s also heavy and more expensive to secure.

Bitcoin, in my opinion, is a hedge on the hegemony of the US dollar which I see weakening going forward. The US dollar is the global reserve currency thanks to the global oil industry. That gives the US a lot of power. But between the switch away from oil, the weakening of the dollar, and the rise of China the US currency dominance looks to be coming to an end. There is no other currency that could act as a global reserve currency except China, which would essentially make China the worlds superpower. That is where Bitcoin comes in: it can be the new global currency instead of China when the US dollar loses its place. Gold and paper only has value because we imagine that they have value, I don’t see how Bitcoin is any more or less imaginary.

Most of these services have a dependency on the service manager and can't run without it.

For other services, such as journald and udevd, the dependency also works in reverse and the service manager can't run without the services.

In many cases, it's not entirely clear why they depend on the service manager itself. logind in particular was moved into systemd “in anticipation of the single writer cgroup architecture", an architecture that never came to be because it was quite clearly a very bad idea, and then elogind was forked to separate it again with no loss of functionality.

There is no reason for logind to exist, elogind should be the only thing that exists as it does the same thing without depending on systemd; elogind can also be used in conjunction with sytemd with no loss of functionality.

Even stranger things happen, such as DBus performing activation viā systemd by use of a private, nonsstandard a.p.i. for which there are standardized protocols specified by Linux-base that systemd also supports. That they chose to use a specific unstable, undocumented a.p.i. rather than a standardized one to do this is certainly a political rather than technical decision to create a dependency for it's own sake.

And that is indeed what many RedHat projects have done over the years; they have created dependencies on each other of little to no technical merit as form of product tying to encourage adoption of more RedHat software. — this is certainly not limited to sytemd.
You are still speaking as if an interface containing a nil is the same as a nil interface. They are not. ∗MyError(nil) as an error value is perfectly valid. It means there is an error, and whatever created that value is promising that you can call .Error() on the resulting value and get a string. If you get a panic instead of a string, the code that made that promise is where the bug is, not the code that called .Error()... and in Go, it is perfectly possible for that nil to produce a string perfectly validly. Calling methods on a nil is not invalid Go. That is a concept ported over from C++ or similar languages inappropriately. It is as wrong as worrying that you can't create a value on the stack in a function and return it. Go does not work that way.

Until you correct your understanding, you will continue to find Go frustrating. nil and invalid are not the same thing. This is not a matter of opinion; it is how the language works. As long as you persist in thinking otherwise, you will remain confused.

If you checked whether err is nil by checking the interface value, and then penetrating the interface to see if the underlying concrete type is a pointer and than pointer is nil, that is a bug in the code doing that. You should never do that. It is never correct. It is objectively wrong to think of them as the same thing and to treat them the same, because they are not.

The correct solution is what I outlined; do not create the lying interface values in the first place. Then they can not propagate through your code and mess you up.

I'm not trying to debate whether Go is "right" or "wrong" here. It is perfectly acceptable to come to a correct understanding of how Go works and still think it is not the best way to build the language. Personally I'd still be happy to get non-nillable pointers, in the same way C# managed to add them later, so you can put me in that category myself. But you still have an incorrect understanding of how Go works, and I'm writing this not to defend Go but to try to save you that frustration. However, if you keep resisting the correct understanding, you will continue to be confused and frustrated and write bugs.

So you're going to go with a top-level entry point even with a substantial program? OK, I can see that happening.

I guess the point is that your substantial program will also have plenty of classes and methods elsewhere, so the idea that "you can do a one-liner without having to first learn about declaring classes and methods and namespaces" isn't relevant to you. You save a few LOC 1 time over in your top-level entry point though. OK.

Or governments will just ban the use of cryptocurrency and instantly marginalize its use.

Lots of good reasons to do so, if only to prevent the democratic power over market regulation becoming "much less relevant".
Yeah this is always the idea the pro-NFT crowd throws around. As if Disney is going to let Mickey Mouse be in some random video game. Imagine Mickey mowing down people in Call of Duty. Or Mario smoking crack and taking an axe to prostitutes in Postal.

In the hypothetical case that Pokemon start showing up in Facebook, then that's only because Nintendo has a licensing agreement with Facebook with established guidelines and limits for usage of intellectual property.
Not bad arguments, stupid ones.
Everything he describes is testing.

But it's somewhat cross-purposes talking.

When people typically talk about automating the testing, they're talking about taking rote-based manual checks and automating them. Absolutely fine, no complaints from me.

But that's not automating "the" testing. It might be automated their testing, and those two things are different.

You can easily tell by whether they're doing it to get rid of the testers (cost-saving), or freeing up manual testers to do what they're good at: context-driven exploration of the problem space.
> These toys carried strong messages about girls’ expected roles in society.

It's sad to see this Critical Theory nonsense trickling into real disciplines. Children play pretend, and they dress their dolls like their mothers and other people they admire. It's not an insidious plot, it's a culture and youthful admiration.

If you can look at a toy a child loves so much that they were buried with it and see a ploy by society to control them, you've gone off the rails.
technically, any process with negative externalities should not necessarily be free of societal (i.e. governmental) limits. All of the "renewable" sources of energy you've mentioned here have some form of negative externality.

of course, in my non-expert opinion, it would be preferable for the government to focus directly on the negative externalities rather than second or third order causes thereof.

> virtualenvs/per-project config/etc

To be fair, ST isn't an IDE. Handling virtualenvs and configs can be automated outside your text editor. I just use batch files and automate the sh*t out of setup including starting the project on ST.

We should do more simple automations rather than expect an already souped up, beefed up text editor to do everything and bake the cake.

But I do hear your point.
The vast majority of NFT's sell art that is not on the blockchain, is hosted somewhere else. There are some pixel art-y small things that people have put on the actual blockchain but it's rare.
Are the plugins loaded in to the main ST process (using an embedded interpreter)?

A subprocess plugin architecture that used IPC to talk to the text editor would solve the problem, since the plugin host process could probably remain x86 and run under Rosetta.

Yes, but more recently there has been a change of heart. I don't think it implies for now that there is any aim to replace all of it with Rust though.
Exactly! Very happy with both; VSCode for... code :) and Sublime for everything else. As far as I’m concerned these two are not competitors.
So I think this is the most cogent argument against RMS's leadership I've seen. It directly relates to his ability to practically lead an organization. Its too bad that this argument has not been front and center instead of the politically charged but subjective comments by RMS. In short RMS is a bad boss that does not consider the needs of his employees according to the author.

I completely agree with this. If Firefox worked this way, or even just some special tabs of it, that would be great. Brave has TOR tabs AFAIR. Also an easy to use app would be great that can manage other apps' network connections - some could be blocked, some could be redirected through a VPN, etc.
They're very similar to gold in this regard. They have a value because people think they have a value. They're a lot easier to store, transport and transact with than gold bars though.

And I have my doubts whether Bitcoin mining is more destructive than gold mining. It's possible (it's a LOT of energy), but gold mining is also pretty nasty.
I was USING Spring, and it was STILL taking 100x the code to write a simple CRUD app in Java/Angular than Rails. You can say, "You were doing it wrong," and you may be right, but I researched examples so hard that I finally emailed the author of jHipster, and got a lead to a GitHub repo I hadn't found in months of looking. It was great, except that it was so out of date, it wouldn't work in current versions of Angular. If Spring is what passes for "opinionated" in the Java world, boy, do I have a bridge to sell to you.
That's actually not a strawperson. I didn't set up an argument and knock it down. But go ahead and avoid my criticism of your point, it speaks volumes.

Bitcoin does seem to depend to a large degree on money laundering and speculation on money laundering.

You might not like it, but that is definitely the reality. Other kinds of currency and investment are a few times more useful as long as you are doing legitimate business.
As is often the case with this sort of information, one's choice is either to work to separate the wheat from the chaff (and take it all with a grain of salt), or to never encounter the "much of what it says about Steinem and the CIA that is true" in the first place.

Redstockings, a feminist group from the 70s which took a pretty hardline anti-Steinem and anti-CIA stance, put out a lot of good stuff but it's all buried in print sources and very hard to find. This interview is good though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fdi_5cckbXA

> B)Are stocks and bonds inflation resistant if they are priced in the inflating currency?

The parent comment said "inflation-adjusted bonds". If you don't know what that means, look it up.

As for stocks, they are priced in an inflating currency in the same way that real estate or dogecoin are priced in an inflating currency.
Except that most major software you use has only limited automated tests that are nowhere near comprehensive.

For example large parts of the Linux kernel are only covered by manual testing and some automated bug finding tools, not traditional unit or even integrations tests.

The answer in practice for most software is that the testing simply is not thorough, bugs are missed, and regressions slip in (and get fixed once noticed).

And that is all not necessarily a major problem. Of course, having some level of automated testing, even if somewhat cursory is highly advisable. At the very least least for any smaller components that are easy to test. But a comprehensive test suite for each component is not at all a hard requirement of software development.
I've been working with Next for a couple of weeks, here's my take:

- Next.js aims for "pit of success" in building sites with React that are optimized for CDNs and small builds

- Deploying said sites to Vercel takes advantage of the CDNs, so most of the users are getting cached data.

So, for this site, I would assume:

- There is no backend
- All the HTML is cached and contains a static generation of the page(s)

- The javascript is also cached

- Vercel CDN is fast.

That's it!
The CCp is not image conscious. That's honestly a totally asinine statement. That's like saying a mafia boss is image conscious because he threatens to murder anyone who speaks out about his crimes. And speak for yourself, I would like few political things more than to see the ccp overthrown and a bunch of apparatchiks hanged from the forbidden palace.
the Keynesian wisdom was that Inflation is good for borrowers and that deflation is good for lenders. Most governments are managing for borrowers since borrowers tend to be investing and it has been a long-held economic axiom that investment is good.

Deflation decreases the value of work you have already done.
