nocache¹. It is LD_PRELOAD based so will only function within the normal limitations of that. It also comes with a couple of tools for examining and modifying a file's cache state, which makes it useful to judge its value in your environment.

One of my biggest use cases for it is with soxi, which I use solely for playlist manipulation. I don't alias my source tree search tools, because invariably I'm going to want all that stuff in the cache anyway for builds and such.

Not everyone agrees that it's a wise decision due to the popularity of RISC-V in China. I guess looongarch is just something like a variant/extension of MIPS. It's not easy to move from one microarchitecture to another.

MIPS is dead, and Loongson was not commercially successful in the past ten years. But I do admire their work on developing CPUs with good performance independently. It seems to be necessary for China, especially after US sanctions. Hope they'll finally get on the right way.
Some of this is so colloquial. Where I live, 'guys' is even used by women, when speaking to a group of other women.

People assuming how they use language, is right, assumes that there is one language, eg, one english, not many.

Very 'centre of the universe' thinking.
Somewhat related: I've had a passing interest in Chinese ISAs but have found it really difficult to find details on them. For example, consider the Sunway architecture, which powered a former world's fastest supercomputer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunway_(processor). One would think that this would be enough to get basic details of the ISA, perhaps a compiler toolchain? But the best I've gotten is that that it seems to be sort of like the Alpha and that there apparently exists a GCC-based toolchain for it that I have been unable to find. Are there export restrictions on these kinds of things, or do I need to learn Chinese to find more information?

> They then assign different treatments/rights to the different segregations

It's what Yuri Bezmenov refereed to as useful idiots. Divide and conquer has been used by those in power to rule over the constituents for centuries. They realized that the best way to prevent people from looking at the real enemy (establishment) was to keep them infighting and the best way to do that is to divide people into as many oppressor oppressed buckets as possible and let them fight each other. So now we have people not just fighting about rich vs poor, now it's based on race, sex, sexual preference, ethnicity etc. While we keep fighting each other, the corporations and establishment elites keep getting richer and more powerful, meanwhile our lives keep getting more and more miserable. This identity politics is also used by corporations and politicians to prevent and deflect blame. Want your $2000 stimulus? Want a minimum wage? Want wall Street, Robinhood accountability? Want universal health care? Want an end to forever wars? You won't get any of that and if you question it, you are being sexist for attacking the first secretary of the treasury (paid off by Wall Street and $800G by Robinhood hedge fund), first black secretary of defence (Raytheon board seat), first trans health minister (took out her own mother while forcing covid patients into nursing homes). It is evil yet genius identity politics and people are too afraid to speak up.

Laser cutting is straight out for the hobbyist, because of the chlorine, as you correctly point out. I think the way to do this is either with a CNC or with some die punch solution.

Doing a single cutout of PVC with a CNC would be fine, but doing 40x23x7 is probably not.

Doing a die punch is maybe possible but I don't really know how to create a custom punch and what tooling to use.

It embeds an observable runtime in a standalone electron app. The interface is not a notebook but rather a dashboard where you can add observable nodes of various sizes. It also has tabs. I find it a lot more manageable for large notebooks, and a lot more user-friendly for business use cases.

Also the standalone app means you can connect to databases and filesystems directly, and avoid CORS for rest apis.

Coinbase is the trusted inlet to trading crypto for individual investors. One of the blockchains, Bitcoin, has a 1 trillion dollar market cap, and the next largest has 259 bn. And coinbase captures a fee of some large percentage of transactions on those.

I think we've reached the depth limit here, so this is an answer to below.

I'm spinning it as positive because I'm attempting to break out their fixed and variable costs. If one looks through the line items and imagines themself as CEO, there are items which can easily cut and/or don't need to climb as revenue climbs. EG, their R&D is probably too high and doesn't need to double for their revenue to double. By breaking out their costs one can figure if they are likely to be "perpetual money losers" or just "currently money losers", which is the question at hand.

They are valued in public markets at over $100 billion. Usually the public markets do a reasonable job at getting a reasonable number for a company's value. Thinking about Uber's cost structure in some depth is how folks have arrived at that number.
I was surprised about the word 'abort'. My open source project uses it as part of an error message when the connection attempt fails and it could be caused either intentionaly by the client or unintentionally by the server.

The phrase 'connection handshake was cancelled' doesn't work because it implies that the client always canceled the handshake intentionally which is not always accurate. The phrase 'connection handshake was ended' also doesn't work; some people might read it wrong thinking that it completed successfully.

The phrase 'connection handshake was aborted' is perfect because it could be the server's fault, could be the client's fault or could be a network issue. And it's clear in any case that the handshake did not finish correctly.

I read that the word 'abort' was commonly used in aviation when discussing take off and landing so it seemed like a good parallel.

* Price to rent ratio very high, just need somewhere to live.

* Achieving ownership requires moving to sprawl and taking on a ruinous car commute.

* Ownership used to justify overspending on housing because "it's an investment."

This is interesting, thanks for sharing.
I prefer to acknowledge that tradeoffs are inherent, and that there is some cost to e.g. replacing "man" with "person", and that the benefit (inclusivity) is worth the cost (breaking "backwards compatibility", upsetting some people) and hopefully the risk (these kinds of changes may not really grow inclusivity in a material way, and may take attention away from more substantial and radical efforts).
2021 so far – A few Updates
I live off grid in Portugal. My power comes from solar, wind and hydro, and I retrofitted our ancient hilux to be fully electric, charged here off our renewables. We grow 95% of our own food, the rest comes from less than 10km away, heat in the winter from the hydro, and make do and mend whenever possible, while reforesting degraded agricultural land with mixed native species. I haven’t been more than 20km from here in nearly two years. None of this is a sacrifice - it’s a pleasure beyond measure to be here doing this.

I recognise that this is currently a privileged position - the upfront costs aren’t insignificant - it has cost us about €100k to achieve this degree of low-impact living - but it doesn’t have to be that way.

It’s perfectly possible to direct investment in a direction other than massive centralised and industrialised growth, which incurs the problems you describe, and simultaneously provide a better quality of life for the majority. You could subsidise rooftop solar, or local hydroelectric projects, or passive cooling systems, or subsidise people to nurture nature, and both provide energy and cut energy consumption in one fell swoop. India has the opportunity to make good decisions, rather than becoming burdened by what seem like good decisions now, but are bad decisions in the long term. It’s a shame to see that opportunity squandered.
Overall I believe the industry of sewing clothes is gonna be the last to be fully automated. The 3D manipulation of 2D fabric is just too finicky and screams for the human touch, experienced, versatile fingers. But starting off 2D, mass produced fabric is just so much more efficient and versatile.

Sadly, this is bad news for the future of human freedom, as it will mean the associated exploitation and environmental impact isn't gonna end soon either.

However, I have this hypothesis this problem can be solved with software otherwise, by removing the complexity and hurdle of custom pattern creation and distribution to the typical end consumer.

You can't make your own fridge, smartphone, and even wood working is out of reach for most people in the city (space, logistics). However, everyone physically capable could in principle sew their own clothes, if it's just down to the sewing part. Traditional pattern creation and/or application is the hard part. Space needed, investment in the sewing machine and fabric, time expenditure... It's all relatively feasible to most.

I think having a FOSS variant of Clo3d, UI optimized to match different experience levels and a github like collaboration network would offer the potential to kill a good chunk of fast fashion, complex supply chains, and consequently ecological and humanitarian exploitation.

Imagine using a camera or lidar scanner to measure your body, load that to the software, have the design specification applied to your personal body model, the pattern projected onto the fabric for cutting, or even laser cut, until all is left is sewing the pieces together according to the community improved instructions.

No more compromises in fitting. Things will last and be cared for, because you made them yourself. Fewer better clothing.

Or delegate this to your local sewing service, which operates under the same opportunity of reduced overhead.

Things just need to be FOSS to have this change the world. Clo3d costs 500€/month minimum... But really it's just blender with extra steps. It can be done.
please...submit patches if you can, with benchmarks as well, so that the idea can perhaps be evaluated empirically ?

I write Lambda functions in golang. In dev I run the function as local http server. In prod I map a custom domain to the lambda, routing is done internally to the function. API Gateway is only used for the top level route. This workflow is enabled by https://github.com/apex/gateway

In principle I try to avoid Amazon Web Services that lock me into the platform. So, for my dev stack I run a few other containers to give me the equivalent of the prod environment, RDS (MySQL or PostgreSQL), ES (OpenDistro), S3 (Minio), and SES
https://github.com/mozey/aws-local

Dev is easy because I can test everything locally, and the resulting code should be portable to any other cloud.

Obviously this approach might not be feasible if you choose to use AWS that do not have equivalent self-hosted options.
I’m not at all the first person to make a distinction between “regex” and “regular expression”. (First result on google for “regex vs regular expression”)

https://www.rexegg.com/regex-vs-regular-expression.html

> Perl had a huge influence on the flavors of regular expressions used in most modern engines today. This is why modern regular expressions are often called Perl-style. The differences in features across regex engines are considerable, so in my view speaking of Perl-style regular expressions only makes sense when one wants to make it clear one is not talking about the ivory tower brand of mathematically-correct expressions.

> But if you really want to avoid ambiguity, just say regex, as that is one word that white-coat computer scientists are not claiming.
We could call people ... people? Do they have to be black or white?
Oddly, for me it was the opposite!

I used to be confused on why modes required modifying certain notes from a major scale until I tried deriving them in the way shown in the article.

Of course, once you understand that, the way you go about memorizing and practicing is probably easier the way you described; that is, deriving modes in any given key by modifying notes of the major scale using the circle of fifths.

Shows just how desensitised to sugar I was as I could easily eat two or three(!) full size Mars bars before I cut out sugar.

If I was running late in the morning I would have a Mars bar and a 330ml bottle of Coke or Pepsi for breakfast!

Looking back I am embarrassed at how shit my diet was. I would eat sweets and sofa for breakfast and a grab a takeaway on the way home (often Chinese as it was near my house). The only "normal" meal I would eat would be lunch at my work restaurant. However it was subsidised which would also lead me to over eating as it was so cheap and I was always hungry from having junk for breakfast.

By my late twenties/early thirties I was around 112KG (~247lbs) on a 184cm (6 foot) body. Shocking.

I think the reverse is actually true, more people know what regex is than what it stands for (especially if their first language isn't English).

As I understand it, Apple's NVMe were pretty wildly non-standards-compliant - they assume that tags are allocated to commands in the same way as Apple's driver does, including crashing if you use the same tag at the same time in both the admin and IO queues and only accepting a limited range of tags, and as you say they use a totally different queue entry size from the one required by the standard. Also, apparently interrupts didn't work properly or something.

Oh, and it looks like the fixes only made it into mainline Linux in 5.4, less than a year and a half ago, and from there it would've taken some time to reach distros...

Peru has lockdown - they were one of the first countries to initiate it, in March 2020.

Brazil does not.

The results in both countries are basically the same, when using COVID deaths per capita as the primary measure.

How can you conclude logically that Brazil's no-lockdown approach is a failure?

Its not realistic to compare to East-Asian countries which are in many cases wealthy islands with strong borders and homogenous populations.

Lockdown interrupts regular medical care and worsens the health of the existing population, from things like decreased activity and poorer diets [2]:

Boost Beast, which is built on ASIO, has support for timeouts[0], as well as HTTP 1.1 and Websockets. The examples in the Beast tree do do some pretty complex stuff elegantly, like a multi-client chat server[1], so it's possible.

There's also nghttp2_asio, built on nghttp2, which supports HTTP/2[2].

Overall I agree though that ASIO is a very complex and very low level, and it's a lot of work to use it well.

Sometimes it's easiest just to use libcurl.

I’m done with the Premier League, I will cancel Sky Sports, BT Sport and go and watch (when we are allowed back) the local League Two team, Cheltenham Town, who need my money as a watching fan, and who have a chairman and board of directors who know they are temporary custodians of the club as they often state they are.”
