In case anyone wants a background on what Dragonfly vs FreeBSD

> The ultimate goal of the DragonFly project at its inception was to provide native clustering support in the kernel. ... While full cache coherency is no longer a top level goal, filesystem coherency is, and that direction continues to guide the project in a number of ways.

> DragonFly BSD was forked from FreeBSD 4.8 in June of 2003, by Matthew Dillon. The project was originally billed as "the logical continuation of the FreeBSD 4.x series", as quoted in the announcement, but this description has long since become obsolete. From a performance perspective DragonFly's only real competitor these days is Linux

Are there any real world success stories with this?
> Look at car companies like Ford, Toyota, VW. Compared to a Ferrari, Porsche, Bentley they are crap, but yet they are still relatively successful companies in their space.

This analogy doesn't work here IMO. Indeed, in many respects like reliability, a Ford, Toyota or VW is actually much better than a Ferrari. They're just very different brands: one set are mass market brands and the other ones are exclusive luxury brands, and they have different features that appeal to each.

But Ford, Toyota, VW cars are certainly not "crap", and e.g. Toyota is renowned for the quality of its vehicles.
I’m probably getting the exact details wrong, however: I once read that he had a golf partner for over 30 years, and this golf partner only learned that Bardeen had two Nobels after Bardeen had died.
I assume you're talking about being landlord of an apartment in a larger apartment complex where a property manager takes care of many apartments at the same time? I'm asking because my impression is that this scales better and should therefore be significantly cheaper than paying someone to manage a single apartment or house somewhere. (Besides, with a house or I'd imagine a lot more fixes being necessary over time.)

Also, how many tenants has this apartment (have these apartments) that you're managing(?) had in those ten years?

PS: Since I've actually been dabbling with the idea of buying property in Colombia, may I ask in which city you are? :)
It's not reasonable because the government and society have created an environment and system that has no incentive or obligation to return the property. Unless you are a part of the system (LEO, lawyer, judge, etc) your words are worthless. You are essentially a second class citizen.

Edit: clarifying since I'm being downvoted... it should be reasonable but the way our system is currently "working" makes it unreasonable because the system will just ignore you. Hell, if you annoy them, they might find a reason to harass you more.
I have the Canon 50mm/f1.8 aka the "Nifty Fifty". Got it a few years ago when it was still under $100. At the time, it was the cheapest prime lens you could but. I really like the photos I get with that lens.
If you don't mind my asking, what kinds of models/statistics/analytics did you find most useful? I'm curious because I've done some analytical work for professional League of Legends teams in the past, but have recently been unenthusiastic about pursuing this anymore because my creativity has dried up about what is "useful". I also share your opinion that most of the low hanging fruit has already been done.

Obviously the games are different, but perhaps there are some common themes or generalized structures that can help frame what questions to ask?
your solution would not support:

* specifying target cpu features (important!)

* features such as thread sanitizer support

* LTO that crosses the libc boundary

* targeting any glibc version

...all of which are supported out of the box by zig.
That's not remotely the same.
RJ thought of himself as a "Southern gentleman" and so he had critical levels of boomer gender politics in all his dialogue, essentially 1000 pages of "I hate my wife" jokes and braid tugging. Also, not sure how many people noticed but more than a few plot points and things like Compulsion weaves in his books are clearly just his sexual fetishes.

But yes, there was a lot of depth and the women were always strong characters and seemed to be having fun, whereas Sanderson writes like he hasn't gone through puberty yet.

Or, alternatively, will pretending to have affection simply cement the feeling that affection is unrewarding? Perhaps there is a case to be made to lean into not having affection, to fall out of love and to have a break, and to let it arise again naturally instead of summoning it via artifice.

I remember using ServiceNow in the finance industry many years ago. It was a fairly comprehensive dumpster fire back then. This above paragraph does not bode well for future improvements.
I can't remember the name of it anymore, but we used to use a user-space daemon to collect logs from applications over various methods (sockets pipes files etc) and it would store them in a ring buffer until they could be flushed to disk or network. If neither happened, you could attach to the host somehow and get the logs out of memory, watch them on a terminal screen, etc.

Opening an EC2 console in AWS is still a simple and reliable way to find out what's going wrong with your instance. Wouldn't be possible if we didn't already have the convention to have the kernel, syslog, etc print to tty1.
Adding infinite resources enables absolutism.
My wife and I decided on a no-social media policy for our kids. We have a teenager and a 5 month old.

Our teenager has a phone we found that is a locked down Android, and has no internet (no wifi or 4g/5g). It is just a phone, with multimedia text, and non-network enabled calendar, clock. There is no app store.

My daughter is autistic. Our problems with the phone has more to do with her feeling like we are cutting her off of connecting with people she clings to, triggering some childhood history. I have no idea what will happen when our neurotypical son becomes a teenager.

There is much more to life than just what are on devices, and I have a general idea on how to approach this. I have been studying, and to some extent, applying regenerative paradigms. A good deal of that will involve the kids into the natural cycle of life. To viscerally experience where their food comes from, and where it goes. How to connect with another living being as a whole being in an ecosystem and community, whether that being is a human, animal, or plant. I am going to teach them the ethical framework, “care for people”, “care for land”, “fair share”.

Technology, then, is thoughtfully applied within that context.

What that means, I am still discovering for myself. But I have already made some progress on that —- what Christopher Alexander really meant by pattern languages and a timeless way of building; what Smalltalk and Hypercard had in common, why we had turned our back to it, and maybe it is time to use it; the philosophy of Free Software and how it is different than open source, and why it matters more than basic rights and liberty; how sandstorm.io enables community-oriented and local platforms.

It has not all gelled together for me yet, but I know something is there.

Matt Ridley in [1] argues that trade drove the evolution of human intelligence.

First he makes the interesting point that intelligence doesn't just evolve - it has to be for something; it must enhance survival or reproduction. So, what is intelligence good for?

He then argues how comparative advantage and division of labour is enormously beneficial. Also points to the pre-existing and unusual division of labour between men and women, as a starting point.

Now, once you have trade, you have all kinds of issues of accounting, cheating etc, which you do better at the cleverer you are - an additional driver for intelligence.

So, according to this theory, trade predates human intelligence.

Plain text that you cannot even access without a complicated COM control dance in many cases. It's an interesting design for sure.

I have seen and hope to never see again worst cases such as the COM control for all of .NET Framework event log messages (everything from .NET system messages to just the mostly plain text storage from applications written in .NET) accidentally badly unregistered leaving all of the event log messages unreadable.
The author seems somewhat aloof, as if due to his credentials he doesn't belong there. Perhaps a more compassionate view might observe that nobody deserves to be mistreated.

The obligatory identity politics angle comes off as wooden and forced - compartmentalizing, objectifying the individuals. There's a story here if the author is willing to tell it straight. The political buzzwords and slanted historical references feel misplaced. They don't add to the story. Instead they distract.

I often attend the annual literary scifi convention. They have plenty of panels on how to increase sales. Becoming a popular "brand", e.g. Asian zombie novels, helps. Writing sequels and prequels to a modest central hit can help.

Interestingly this group has lasted decades, from well before digitalization and the internet. The latter is a two edge sword, providing more market and competition at the same time.

> It is unrealistic to expect your bosses to provide cheaper housing. It is much easier to expect your bosses to pay you a living wage.

I wouldn't be so sure about that.

An example:

The company I work for pay my broadband bill as does most IT companies.

Now my broadband provider is also my TV provider. They have of course noted this so guess what: they kept sliding the split between broadband and TV cost until it was ridiculous[1].

Guess what I think will happen if it becomes well known that employers pay for hosting?

Prices will go through the roof.

[1]: That was last year. Last I checked I now pay $0.6 for the broadband and $90 for TV. I haven't figured out why this is but I guess financial incentives at some level.
Not OP, but “close enough radius” alludes to the fact that earths current radio output would only be detectable in a radius some hundreds of light years away (signal would
become too weak past that). And I’m pretty sure our radio signal output is now decreasing in energy. So it becomes increasingly less likely with distance that a radio source would exist that we could currently detect. But I guess this study states that it could detect a theoretical “beacon” that is intentionally incredibly powerful.

we've got other articles in this thread explaining how fewer and fewer local banks are offering safe deposit boxes, and they generally want out of the business. and indeed, how when they exit the business, they ship your stuff to a warehouse in alaska and lose it.

so the business which does nothing but rent safe deposit boxes actually sounds like the reasonable place to do business with.

In SF, at least, the magazine ecosystem associated with short stories has taken a pretty big hit which means new authors tend to not get into the genre that way. Of course, that's a bit self-referential because "Why did that ecosystem largely go away?" and the answer is that I'm not sure. Though I'll note that a fair bit is online these days so maybe new authors felt that was a better way to build their name.

I'd also note that some of the better SF short story writers these days tend to write in a mix of genres and often publish in places like The New Yorker.
For fiction publishers were small houses with semi-amateur owners. They had an interest in what they were publishing, and if they liked an author they'd provide opportunities and invest in a career.

For example Penguin, which was launched in the 30s to provide cheap literary paperbacks for the mass market - a kind of cultural levelling up instead of dumbing down.

Now publishing houses are relatively small departments in unimaginably huge media corporations. Penguin is now part of Penguin Random House which is part of Bertelsmann, which also owns BMG (Bertelsmann Music), RTL TV/Radio in Europe, and Arvato, which is a general purpose corporate offering logistics, finance, IT.

So it's not a family-owned business any more. And it is much more business than family, with the usual MBA culture of targets, ROI, and the rest.
That's basically how civil asset seizure works in practice. Technically they charge the asset and not the person, because they know the person has rights and could defend themselves. Somehow they got the courts to agree to allowing the asset to be the subject without extending any of the rights (like to representation) being extended to it.

It is, and therefore it should be 100% decentralized, if only to keep it out of the grabby hands of governments, EU or otherwise.
The alternative isn't becoming Amish. It's being more mindful about how your children interact with new technologies. Facebook/Instagram/etc aren't required for children, and even if there are good arguments for social media for children (like learning how it works), that doesn't mean letting the children have unfettered access to the tech and letting these companies have unfettered access to the children's attention.

Here's an alternative: restrict usage to a simple time-boxed window each day, contingent on the completion of what the child needs to have done (chores, homework, etc.). Augment that by limiting what apps the child will have access to, based on what is reasonable at the time. It requires effort, but seems totally reasonable. There doesn't seem to be a strong argument for children having continuous access to devices that have empirically been shown to cause serious mental health issues, not even including the crazy dangers of the internet (stalking, child sexualization, etc).

Alternatively, don't control anything the child does and hope it works out.
To be clear, I never said that it was greedy to want a $100k salary. It's a perfectly rational and ordinary thing to want. I wondered about how reasonable to was to expect to attain that level of financial success in writing.
My wife and I tried letting our teenager have her own cell phone, and that informed a lot of what I saw. We eventually found a locked down phone purpose-designed for kids, but I have no problem with getting a landline if it continues being an issue.

I think that trope is often of “the earnest researcher” who has so much hope and faith that he/she does it in their spare time. So rather than a job to listen, it’s their hobby to listen.

I love it, because the silly fantastic odds of the system finding anything, much less of that thing showing up while a person happens to have the headphones on and not be distracted, are just Indiana Jones level entertaining to me. I’ll buy in every time. :D
