That is probably true. Now if something is longer than 5 minutes I don't watch it end to end, but keep skipping "to the point". When I listen to lectures, I am always listening at fastest speed possible and also skip.
I tried meditation as well, but I have this feeling of doom crawling around my thoughts when I meditate. Like I am sitting here meditating, and worry that work is not being done.

We can know with pretty much certainty that raising a huge number of animals in close spaces is just asking for disaster. But I don't see us stopping to kill 70 billions land animals a year and the world becoming vegan anytime soon.
Munin is fairly light, but metrics are collected through running various scripts, which is generally more resource-intensive than the usual node-exporter(-like) daemons, so the frequency at which data is updated is usually much lower.

It should be legal. I dont see the problem with having terms like this. There are plenty of other companies to choose from if you are a developer. From a company perspective it makes 100% sense to have terms that restricts when a developer is allowed to work on a project.
Completely agree with you. More power to you!

You just need to know when to quit
Oh yes, my favorite tool by far is actually a small hatchet. You can do almost every life-or-death things a knife do with one. Properly sharpened, the head absolutely can be used for roughly cutting veggies and shaving very thin timber from logs.
Imunes looks more similar to Mininet[1]. The networking stack in Shadow looks simulated so you could do more large scale research. It seems that Imunes claims one use case is product testing so more likely they are targeting fidelity.

It is hard to know what happened from the small bit of information. However, there's really no context where the phrase "You Are an IBM Employee 100% of the Time" is good.

Edit: Meaning the tone and language suggest a work culture you might want to avoid. Separate from any actual policy.
How much is “some”? It seems a bit if a stretch that they’d have any significant responsibility here.
> What's this obsession with increasing housing density?

The real question is "What's this obsession with decreasing housing density?"

Cities don't have zoning laws mandating minimum densities, they have laws mandating maximum densities. If there was an "obsession with increasing housing density" as you claim, wouldn't we see the opposite?
Big cities are "terrible" long-term, especially as viewed by most average people who lack the skills, connections, and abilities to utilize them and as they get older and less able to capitalize on them. Younger, smarter people tend to gravitate towards them as they are able to make more effective use of cities with better goals, tactics, self-discipline, sociopolitical navigation, and relationships.

YMMV.
And make sure a low-voltage electrician installs it. Half my ethernet are daisy chained. Some of it is stapled to the studs of the wall. Of the 5 drops in my condo only 3 lead back to the IDF. Fixing it is going to be damn near impossible.
$1k-2k per month for the back cover of a single book makes me think that the publishing industry should be explosively disrupted. Not sure how exactly, but that is ridiculous.

Here is an idea: a movement towards exclusively epub with open source DRM and cryptocurrency. And local physical stores can just start printing jackets.
Structures don’t necessarily depreciate in value over time if maintained. The costs of materials and labor increase allowing an existing structure to maintain value and appreciate. Have you seen how much a 2x4 costs today? $8! When my home was built that piece of wood cost 5 cents.

So the value of the structure is what it would cost in terms of parts and labor today minus existing wear-and-tear and needed repairs. Of course maintaining the structure probably eats up any potential profit over time on the structure itself while the land appreciates indefinitely.

However in many places the land is worth far more than the structure.
That seems overwhelming to me. Do you feel this is a tenable strategy? Or is the number of deployments becoming an issue?

Different things appeal to different people. Personally I've found that I enjoy audax much more than unstructured touring, so I'd like to have a similar framework for a challenge.
Enough savings that you don't worry about little things. I just had to fix a wheel bearing on my car $700 later (my mechanic replaced the brakes and a few other small things while in the area) - not a large thing, but for many people that is more than they have saved up.

There are safety nets for big things - not always good ones, but they exist everywhere and so when something major goes wrong you can count on some help. However there are a lot of little things that are both far more likely to go wrong, and also things that it is harder to get help with from any sort of safety net.
Otherwise Germany, 1945, comes to mind. And there are those who fought on the battlefield and later became head of state. They obviously didn't die, but ran a certain risk.

> I rarely visit their website as they allow you to save your favourite stations as a play list for your preferred media player.

Agreed 100%, plus the ability to choose the stream quality for your playlist-stations is an added bonus, not even mentioning the hardware player support. It feels rare anymore to have a quality, reasonably-priced, bloat-free service with user-friendly features, but they seriously deliver
> "When you tear out a man's tongue, you are not proving him a liar, you're only telling the world that you fear what he might say."

Right, but remember that censorship isn't just bad because it silences truth-tellers. It is also bad because it can amplify falsehoods.

> It's a good thing this is all just a conspiracy theory.

Your sarcasm is ambiguous. Perhaps you mean that it's unlikely that all the topics your discussing are conspiracy theories. Perhaps you meant that they are all true and are all being painted as conspiracy theories. Perhaps you meant something in between.

Generous interpretation requires me to ask you what you meant, at which point you can choose any of the above adventures.

The irony is that to me that kind of hedging and sarcasm starts to smell a lot like conspiracy theory rhetoric.

This is a good model only within the US sphere of influence. Outside, you might as well be shooting darts as people play by other incentives.
I've been using Jupyter Book [0] at work to put together a cookbook for a market data analysis package, and am really liking it so far. I'm not a big fan of Jupyter's GUI editors for notebooks (and all the usual issues with .ipynb's under version control), but Jupytext is great and works quite well with Jupyter Book.

> I kind of don't feel like we can afford to. The housing price increases since 2020 have an atrocious human cost. These rising costs of living are not sustainable. There are some good (tech) jobs that compensate sufficiently for this type of development to work... but no where near enough. On a macroeconomics sense, I'm inclined to think it just doesn't work at all.

The costs are rising because there is demand to move to cities, but we aren't increasing density. In most cities zoning and arduous permit processes are making building downright impossible. The lack of real density is driving the cost problem

> If you install in-wall cat6 it’ll probably be obsolete by the end of the decade.

Would it? "Regular" Cat5e has been around for 20 years or so now, and even at "just" 100mbps to 1 gigabit, would be a ridiculously huge upgrade for any home I've ever been inside of, and is still reliably faster than any WiFi device invented thus far.

Unless you have some really esoteric requirements, most homes could just run CAT6a to every room without thinking about it, and sleep soundly knowing they'll reliably get 2 to 10 gigabit (depending on distance) into each room for the next 30 years or so.
The subtitle might give more context:

The difference is that the ethical implications of you buying your espresso daily don't make you inherently less trustworthy.

The "routine" of burying evidence, silencing dissidents, and constant propaganda does absolutely reduce China's trustworthiness. To the point where we can and probably should always assume the worst of that regime.
I’ve worked in the public sector of Denmark for quite a while, and that’s involved a loot of different APIs, and I’ve seen my share of the “poor-experience” examples.

It’s always worse when there isn’t an API.

That being said, the best APIs are the ones that have good understandable documentation. And I don’t mean some auto generated bullshit, but documentation that your developer can hand off to your data person and whatever project manager is ordering the information, and they’ll not only understand it, they can use it to tell your developer exactly which Y goes into X.

Beyond that you’ll want a decent test API, and you’ll want workable examples of how to make each call in JS/python/c#/java/php at the very least.

And you’ll probably still want the option for batch dumps via SFTP or whatever.

So no, I don’t think APIs are elitist, I just think most of the people who make them either suck or weren’t given enough resources to do a good job.
"It's so easy to get acid, you can get it anywhere!"

And now you truly can get fresh acid anytime, anywhere! Absolutely amazing project. This is actually like... 75% passable, and better than most entry level stuff I've heard.

I've wanted this to exist for like 15 years. Tried my hand at it with Reason back in like, 2012, got kinda there with RPG-8, Jupiter and way too much automation, but it was just way too limiting of a medium back then. This makes me want to take another stab at it.

Some minor suggestions:

- on mobile: Not sure which interfaces are clickable but nonresponsive, vs not clickable at all. E.g. BPM knob didn't do anything for me on mobile, but worked fine on desktop

- I realize this might be hard for browser, maybe with a node/electron app, but MIDI out would be dope.

- Distortion module

- A simple mix-out EQ would be nice.

- Constraints to make sure one osc is always on a bass part

- third osc? :)

- What would really sell it is some lead-in before a pattern change. E.g. When the cycler starts to flash red (especially when they are all about change), occasionally toss in some snare fills/crescendos

If you had a sample board, you could easily convince someone this was made by a human. Maybe inexperienced, but still very much human.
I had a job offer from an IBM company once. The offer negotiation part happened directly with IBM. The salary went to hell because I live in Canada, and although the position was fully remote, they took away the juicy US salary and offered me a sucky Canadian one. The main reason I work remote is to not get stuck with a Canadian salary. In addition they stated that everything I do at any time is owned by them. I had a side project, so I applied for an exemption. It went through legal for a couple weeks. It was denied.

I turned the job down. The whole process wasted tons of my time and theirs and could have been avoided if they had just been upfront about their policies instead of writing useless crap about how great their culture is in the job ad.
My job doesn't fire me at 5pm every day and hire me back at 9am. I'm an employee of the company in my off hours, even if I'm not working.

Uh, if I buy a property, yeah, I kind of want to make it difficult for someone else to buy it. Seeing as I seek to own it long enough to live on it.

You can make the property you own hard to buy or easy to buy; that's obviously up to you. The problem is that landowners pass laws that make it difficult for prospective owners to buy any property or for current owners to build new units on the land they already own. This is fundamentally illegitimate, but unfortunately it's very popular.
"Reports from N’Djamena, the capital, suggested that in the wake of Déby’s death, parliament has been dissolved and the government replaced by a transitional military council led by Déby’s 37-year-old son Mahamat Idriss Déby Itno, a general"

The short-term at least, sounds worse.
Not true. A house is a form of wealth because you live there. If you don't own a house you need to rent someplace. If you live in the house long enough you pay it off and live there rent free!

The above assumes that you actually pay the house off of course. Many people don't.

A bunch of these tech companies have ip clauses in employment agreements about employees transferring all ip they create to the company, including off hours. It’s probably what they are referring to.

I’m not sure why people sign these things though...

Some pretty big leaps you're making there. China isn't doing themselves any favors by their lack of transparency. At any rate, the question remains important regardless of anyone's 'feelings' on the subject.
Are these elections or "elections"? I don't know anything about Chad.
Power imbalance is wildly dependant on a lot of factors and it's already reflected in the contract clauses and compensation. I personally wouldn't care about that clause and I'd happily work for them (provided my requirements were met - and, to be fair, a company coming up with this clauses probably wouldn't).

This is usually a problem for lower paid jobs, not for developers.

Hiring a good developer is hard, hiring a good cleaner is simple.

Triangula: An iterative algorithm to generate high quality triangulated images
I have a munin-master running on an Atom C2338 (very low-end), which monitors about 20 hosts. The whole system uses about 300MB RAM and 40% of a CPU core. It's a little intensive because it recomputes half the images every 5 min, when the cron runs (that's configurable).

In terms of disk, munin uses 750MB, and it's not growing thanks to rrdtools; and it writes 1MB/s on average. Bandwidth usage is 5Mb/s on average (to get data from all munin nodes, also every 5 min in my config)

Munin nodes themselves are extremely lightweight. Essentially, the master calls the munin-node daemon via a TCP socket, which starts a plugin process and pipes its stdout to the socket. Plugins usually simply call a command like "df" or "netstat", parse its output, and write it in munin's format.
dont fool yourself, big capital always preferred "pragmatic" regimes over accountable democracies.

TikTok is a special case since it’s owned by a conglomerate with deep enough pockets to brute force their way into Western consciousness. They most likely pay their top creators not to post Instagram Reels.

I don’t think it would have nearly the amount of success today if it were an American company going through the traditional VC funding route.
I'd like to draw a line in a place that makes sense. A lot of round-the-world cyclists take a boat further than strictly necessary (e.g. going from Singapore to Australia or California), and I don't think that invalidates it. But skipping the hardest parts of a round-the-world journey (such as the Darien Gap) that way feels like cheating too.
What the article calls specifications are exactly programs in a logical paradigm (not exactly FP, but you can translate into it).

My understanding is that the problem the article states is that in a synchronous system with a global clock, everything has to be synchronized to that clock. And that if you do not add cycle-number dependent logic, you can not have cycle-number dependent memory. I fail to see what it new there, or even non-obvious enough to warrant an article.

None of this negates my impression and opinion which is a valid expression but not a universal fact up for debate. It is not a universal fact anyone must agree with or hold. In fact, it's arrogant to criticize or tell someone what their opinions and experiences should be.
Who monitors the monitorers?!
If you're a salaried employee, probably yes. (for better or worse)
And does your job prevent you from doing open source work in your free time? If not, then I don't see how it's relevant.
This probably works in the U.S.A. (or some of its states only, even), but prohibiting open-source work on the employee’s spare time is, to the best of my knowledge, illegal in most of Europe. Unless of course in the case of blatant conflict of interest between the open-source work and the product being worked on during company time.

Contracts still include such clauses (mine does say that all intellectual property at any time during the validity of the contract is the property of the company), but no company in their right mind would go to court trying to enforce it.
One of the challenges I have is I never go back to look at my highlights. I never have time to copy things over.

Probably having a blog helps with that since it has a desired output.
Because it just works. Grafana requires a lot of work to set up, especially if you want to do it in a secure way and provision it programmatically. Munin on the other hand is just an apt-get install plus some minor configuration. Yes, it is not as powerful but on the other hand it is much eaiser to set up correctly.

Wait... What is the difference between selling to give back to your investors vs selling to do anything else. It's still selling.

When you sell any stock, it means you believe your future appreciation is going to be greater elsewhere. If investors thought there was another 150,000% gain to be had here, they wouldn't sell.
This isn't true in my experience (USA). No salaried job I've worked at has contractually stated working hours. All mainstream tech jobs. People go home at reasonable times due to social norms, not because it's in a contract.
To add.

Same here. A forward only approach works best for us too. if you need to clean up a mess, it is a new migration script. It's too complex to try an work backwards. What if multiple scripts were ran? Then you have to roll back say script number 2 out of 5 and there were destructive operations. It becomes really hairy really quickly. So forward-only is the easiest to reason about.

Please do make sure that you have snapshots for restoring if you really mess up badly. I know its not always feasible to do snapshots before every deploy, but having a daily snapshot can bring you a lot of comfort.

If you built your own migration tool (highly encourage it, its not that hard to build a forward-only migration tool), then you can trigger selective snapshots/table dumps for only the tables that gets changed, and only for specific operations (updating schema, dropping columns, dropping table) before your migration scripts touches the db - that way you have a path to restore. You don't always need a full DB dump (say you have 500+ tables but only changing 2, 1 of which is destructive, thus the backup is tiny and quick). It also helps if different data sets live in isolation to help manage this kind of admin.
Yes. Unfortunately it was so... Thanks reading it.

Not only that, but 24% of the ruling Conservative Party members of parliament are also landlords, including the housing minister.

Partly that, but also partly that in a constituency based system, there will be a bias towards those who are in the constituency longer. I have to register to vote every time I move constituencies (a fairly regular event for a renter), while those who buy only register once (and can be considered returning customers for the member of parliament).

Wealth (which is correlated with property ownership) is also correlated with voting.
>The trouble is that it is only a local majority. There are a larger number of people who would like to live in high-demand areas, but they can't vote to make that possible because they don't live there.

Any majority is a "local majority".

Would it be OK for third parties to come into your community / town etc, and decide for you?

That would be a nice racket for lobbyists, too: various interests could hire majorities to move from place to place and vote to overturn what those already living there want...
