Yes, if you call a black box outside of your code base which does something then subsequent operations can't easily be dry-run'd.

So if you need to install a package which sets up a systemd service, the subsequent dry-run of managing that systemd service would fail because the service doesn't exist yet. Or you need to make assumptions in the service dry run that it should have been set up before.

You can just assume that the service would have been setup and report that you were, say, enabling and starting the service. Or you could require some kind of hint to be setup from the package installation to the specific service configuration (for well known things this could be done by default, but for arbitrary user-supplied packages this cannot be done). Or you could list the entire package contents and try to determine if the manifest looks like it is configuring a service.

And it still may fail because you don't know the contents of that file without extracting it and the service may not parse at all.

And that's just a simple package-service interaction example. You could spend a week noodling on how to do that fairly precisely, then there's a hundred or a thousand other interactions to get correct.

You're being told not to do the thing, so there's fundamentally a black-box there, and you need to figure out how much you're going to cheat, how much you're going to try to crack open the black box into some kind of sandbox so you can figure out its internals, and how much you're going to offload onto the user. Not actually an easy problem at all.

King Kong 2: Yomigaeru Densetsu
"Medoicrity" is countries around the world losing hundreds of billions of dollars per year in tax evasion and capital flight. A "cartel" in this case, meaning a (democratic) agreement between major economic blocs to put a floor on corporate tax, and sanction those who violate this, is precisely what you need.

I watched a documentary of early skating and it seems that Tony Hawk's success is making the most of the MTV X-games and not getting into drugs. I had a neighbor (jeromygreen) who knows Tony Hawk and it seems Tony Hawk just absolutely shows up everywhere, gets to know every skater, remembers every skaters name.

> Well, luckily for you most big discoveries for humanity were made by people who were mocked, so it didn’t work.

I'm going to need a source for that, because that's definitely not how science works. At all.

Again, making random assertions with no evidence does not make them right. And of that, there are uncountable examples out there.
1. Being informed about what the top level company goals are as well as department context and goals. If you can't draw a straight-ish line between what you're working on and those goals, it's probably not aligned. Make sure you have a defined and prioritized backlog of projects so that when you have the time/resources, you can easily pluck the next one off of the stack.

2. Repeating myself over and over and over (typically ~7 times) to get a message out to the team/org. Even smart people act dumb sometimes, and don't listen/read when they should. It feels like babysitting, sometimes.

3. Books, blogs, industry friends, and some mentors. I have found it difficult to make external mentor friends, but still working on it.

4. It's never about the tools. Jira sucks, slack sucks, and so do most tools. Make sure you keep your workflow simple and make it transparent, however you do it, so that not only can YOU see what's going on, you can confidently share it with others (see? THIS is why your feature isnt being worked on right now, etc.)
This has always been a problem with news aggregation, and it drives me nuts just as much.

In this case, if you're an avid brainybiker.com reader, it might not any sense to define the term, any more than a JavaScript blog needs to explain what IE is. Or even link to the IE Wikipedia article (or else every other word would turn into a link).

On the other hand, when a story gets picked up by a wider audience, people like you and me don't have a clue what the subject of the article even is.

I wish there was some kind of solution to it, but I don't see one.

(It's not like authors are given some urgent phone alert that their article from an hour ago, or two years ago, is getting picked up and they ought to add a prefacing paragraph for general readers in the next 5 minutes...)

For the last 2 years I've used a Mac professionally and personally. I switched from Windows because lots of things are better. Finder is not one of them. And your answers should give you a hint why it sucks.

An empty file is a file that is empty, with the name and extension I chose on the moment I need it.

Several ways, none being the correct one. Nice. I know Apple likes hard to discover shortcuts but this is ridiculous.
> Whether the SSD is powered or not during the long periods where you're not accessing the data has minimal effect.

I've heard conflicting reports on this.

Ultimately, any storage technology is about storing data. This can be done magnetically (aka: bits are tiny little magnets pointing in certain directions), as long as the magnets don't change, you can read back the data fine.

Or it can be done optically (ex: the dye inside of CD-roms, DVD or BluRay). As long as the dye remains a certain color, you can read it back fine.

Magnets lose charge over time, dyes can change color (especially if they're exposed to the sun). You won't notice over a year or even 2 years, but after 5, 10, or 15 years, things change enough that you start getting errors.

SSDs store data by punching an electrical charge into a transistor. The barrier is such that the electrical charge doesn't want to leak out: but... what is the rate of that leakage? All materials "leak" charge over time. And if the voltage changes dramatically, the change-in-voltage will change the data (and thus you'll lose data over time).

--------------------------------

Some SSDs, such as the Samsung 830, were well known for leaking charge and causing issues. Today, we use stacked 3D NAND, which is a different transistor type than the planar NAND on the Samsung 830, but that doesn't fundamentally answer the question of "What is the leakage current" and "how long do we have before enough voltage leaves the transistor to corrupt the data?"
100% agreed. You really notice their absence in apps that lack them. cough / vscode / cough
there was a lot of mismanagement in this pandemic, from all sides. CDC and WHO advising against masks for an airborne disease!! The president being an anti-masker against the advice of all doctors 2 months later.

Then even Biden and the democrats eroding the trust in vaccines saying they won't get vaccinated if Trump rushes the antivirus. Well, what do you know, the next week after the election we discovered that the antivirus is effective and all adults should vaccinate.

How many anti-vaxxers did Biden create with that irresponsible political statement?
> too much risk of hooking another rider

As soon as you look at them, the potential for hooking should be obvious. In very average use you won't see many incidents because mountain bikes are often like SUVs and don't see much dirt. As soon as you push them closer to the extremes of close riders, or terrain, then they are an immediate liability.

I would posit that the (professional) riders driving the fashion are also some of those most likely to experience the issues. They'd still have a desire for ergonomics which drives whatever alternative was suggested.
I ride a Kona Sutra Ltd, also a drop-bar, fat-tire, 1x + disc rig and I love it. It's funny how old the idea is, though. There were CX events in the 1970s where guys were riding drops and fat (for the time) tires, and Gary Fisher was selling a mountain bike with drops before they sold the company, back around 1990. And of course Gary Fisher invented mountain biking on a Schwinn, wearing jeans and a denim jacket, basically giving zero fucks about the kit. The original "riser bar" mountain riders were the people putting BMX bars on Schwinns.

Author of the original Damn Interesting article here. This Today I Found Out (TIFO) video is problematic, because the host of TIFO (Simon Whistler) used to be part of Damn Interesting, he was the narrator for our audiobook and some of our early podcast episodes. Our Lake Peigneur article, the one this HN thread is based upon, was one that he recorded for us.

Simon joined TIFO without informing us, while still working as our narrator. And TIFO had long been poaching our articles, lazily rewriting our work and calling it their own. So you can imagine my dismay when I found out that our paid narrator was also being paid by a competing website to read our slightly reworked content.

This Lake Peigneur video is a particularly egregious example. Their script is extremely similar to our original article in structure and phrasing. That alone would be bad enough, but for the video's host to be a former member of Damn Interesting makes it feel really awful.

This isn't the first of our articles they have reworked into a video without our permission, and I doubt it will be the last. I'm not claiming they are breaking any laws, but what they are doing is gross and parasitic.
Also we are in a thread where reporting on a virus that has killed 3m people is in question at these big outlets. There are few bigger issues. This is very worrying for these supposedly less partisan outlets.
Also difficult/impossible to smart merge 2 folders, they always replace each other.

This makes no sense. Is the IRS a global institution now?

All you see at a pixel is an estimation of the reflected light from all the light sources from the surfaces that provide a potential light path from the camera to the source (bounced accordingly off intermediate surfaces.)

In practice, it’s just a ton of hacks to estimate this value. It turns out if you do this reasonably accurately across all pixels and surfaces you get a pretty picture. Anything else is just optimization.

Read PBRT to learn how basic irradiance estimation should work and then rasterization becomes less about understanding the goal and more about understanding the hacks needed to achieve the goal in real time.

There's nothing at all wrong with the behavior, and it's perfectly logical once you understand what is going on, but it's certainly not intuitive. It's a bit of an odd mental model that's (as far as I can tell) specific to OSX.

I find OSX to be generally pretty logical and easy to understand, but certainly no more _intuitive_ than something like Windows. Another way of saying this: if I took someone who didn't know how to use a desktop OS, I wouldn't be any more confident sitting them down in front of a Mac.
I tried to call out the other way is to push the income to individuals so corporate profits are always near zero.

So to apply energy on taxing individuals rather than corps. For corps income is so fluid, I think we get more revenue with tariffs, usage taxes, property tax, VAT, sales, etc.

Profit isn’t as important to corporations as it is to individuals.

I have. Moldova after the fall of the Soviet Union. Then in Turkey which historically had ~100% inflation for most of its history and then a crash in early 2000s.

I lived through it all.

"You need to set up a wallet for a digital token, somehow buy it for real money, then somehow convert it into real currency" is not an option for the absolute vast majority of people even in the countries with high levels of inflation, bank limits etc.

A and T are "caller saved", meaning that if I want their value after I make a function call, I, the caller, must save the registers. So,

li t0, 10
call somefunc
# Must consider t0 destroyed here unless we save it first

The saved registers are different
li s0, 10
call somefunc
# Can consider s0 = 10 here.

However, if we use the s registers, we have to make sure we put it back the way we found it. So, before li s0, 10, I need to save the old value of s0.
I don't entirely disagree, hence

Predictably, as is custom at this point, our respective appraisals of the other side depend on the side we're on. Fine - but that's beside the point. CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, et. all are, most charitably, factories of lies by omission. It's been clear to a lot of us that COVID was born of a colossal mistake by CCP scientists doing GoF research since February or March of 2020. The mainstream so-called news knew just as long - they're not stupid, they're manipulating you along an undisclosed agenda.

Just because you can point to someone else you believe to mislead in a more egregious fashion doesn't somehow alleviate the fact that we have exactly zero credible news sources.

Yeah, the ability to indicate a shell command is pure (or that it must be pure) is something that's really missing in POSIX-like APIs. It's something I've certainly missed. Something like fork that disables write outside a handful of file descriptors (like one the parent starts with popen) would be pretty awesome. Maybe BSD jails do that.
You are essentially saying that the idea that we can stop being racist in a world were we haven't stopped being racist yet is arguing in bad faith.

Moderate to high speed contact with tangly vines or brush are enough to warrant a somewhat dangerous tug on the jersey or directly on the skin and consequently a semi-violent jerk to the handlebar. Now multiply that with the hooking power of an aluminum J-shaped tube sticking out of the front of the bike and now you get why bar ends disappeared quite fast from modern mountain bikes.
It is fine to say Amazon has innovated.

Some further ideas:

- Amazon has not seriously invested in Kindle or its ecosystem. Amazon does not because it does not face competition.

- Amazon does not allow apps or a HW sdk for eBook readers, which might make the products much more useful. (such as offering a wireless page turning device)

- Apple should charge for eBook purchases through the kindle app, because iOS does provide value that Amazon realizes.

- Amazon makes major financial investment in their own Android ecosystem. Amazon charges 70% itself for "in-app products" to cover all of their innovation in that area.

- While my original comment's parent focused on the security of the App Store as a value, it is only a contribution to the innovation Apple also has made into that ecosystem.

I disagree that the negative reviews can be equated. It would take analysis, but it appears to me that device incompatibility which is a platform problem is the main source of negative reviews on Android.

Whereas on the iOS side, the negative reviews are related to product features that affect both Android (Google and Amazon marketplaces and iOS.

If this is true, then it suggests that iOS users of the Kindle app are getting even more value out of the iOS platform than Android users. This would be greater underlying reason Apple should be compensated for the sale of eBooks from Amazon.

Sort of separately, but worth mentioning: our local library uses Overdrive to distribute and handle eBook loans and their licensing. Overdrive has a native app and it integrates with Amazon. The Overdrive app is free, and so is the use of Amazon to perform this loaning process.

So eBooks can be readily had in the App store for free.

> There's no easy way to cut a file/folder (Cmd-x doesn't work)

You don't need cut for files, you either want to duplicate the file or move it. For moving you copy it (cmd-c) and then move with cmd-opt-v.

Cut doesn't really make sense for files. With text you cut out the text into a clipboard. Where does the file go when you cut it? Nowhere. There is no place where you can see that you had already cut a file but it's waiting for you to make a mistake and move it somewhere by accident.

Mac has a better duplicate/move UX paradigm and more appropriate for files & folders.
Maybe if they are writing for Reader's Digest or some other generic media, but anyone talking about the details of bar ends is writing for a specific audience; they are far better to focus on their core demo and alienate the masses than try and get everyone up to speed.

And a quick image search for "bar ends" literally gives you hundreds of pictures of exaclty what they are talking about.

It's too much money, so it doesn't matter. They've priced themselves out of relevance.
A big factor is the geometry of modern bikes tend to have a steeper seat tube angle and longer top tube (longer reach). This allows the rider to climb comfortably and more efficiently in a seated position. I think bar ends are more helpful when standing on your pedals while climbing.
