Your experiences are completely different from mine. LA is the second largest city in the US, so I’m sure it contains all extremes. But in my experience it is full of young people who are striving and hustling. There seem to be more young people there with passionate professional dreams than most places.

Chicago is also huge- maybe you just got lucky in making your move?
Just to throw in an analogous story.

I was hosting a research talk given by quasi-famous professor at a biotech startup that I worked at.

Quasi-famous prof was describing a gene (gene "xyz") being used as a tool in his lab, "but the specifics of what gene xyz is and what it does are not important. It's just a gene we use in these assays...."

Me: Do you know who has 2 thumbs and discovered xyz? This guy.

SSH supports certificates (and they aren't X.509 certificates; they're simple and purpose-built for SSH) which resolves the MITM problem in both directions. It's what organizations who manage large numbers of servers use already (in particular, certificates make it easy to tie logins to SSO systems, and to keep people from holding on to long-lived SSH keys). They're great, and you should check them out.

The very last thing in the world you should do is adopt something like SSHFP, a clangorous hack that ties your SSH service to a root of trust operated by a state actor.

China and India, it's time stop building a coal power plant a week just because you don't know what you are doing, don't read the instructions, burn it down by messing up big, and bulldoze it all into the ocean.
> The infrastructure and processes that are taken for granted in developed countries are only really available to a minority in SA.

A very small minority. The middle classes don't have access to reliable power, water, government bureaucracy (mail, taxes, passports), law enforcement, etc. South Africa is failing all its people.
Of course you can train your ears, to be able to hear more detail and learn to differentiate and identify frequencies.

That'll definitely help with hearing differences between two tracks. But i don't think you can compare live music to recorded tracks. Especially acoustic instruments, the room is such a big factor with those.

FTA:

“When Republicans win back the House in 2022, we will form that commission, hold China accountable and make them pay for their role in the pandemic by decoupling our economy from theirs"

Does that sound like a bipartisan, uncontroversial approach to finding the truth?
Once I worked at company X, while there I have seen a said Library for universally accessing things in OS. It was written by our senior architect.
Year later I worked at another company, there was this high strung developer boasting about his own library. He even put it up on a webpage - was before GitHub. It was same library at company listed above, so I ratted to the developer who wrote that library. I usually feel queasy about ratting, for some reason I did not feel a slight bit of dissonance.
Firefox, despite its questionable UI design choices, is heavily customizable with the userChrome.css file. The author mentions having to figure out the correct ID/class names, but you can do it yourself just by inspecting the whole browser chrome as if it was part of an HTML DOM.

Browser Tool Box (open fly out menu -> More Tools, or Ctrl+Alt+Shift+I). This opens a remote debugging session, and you can freely select and customize any part of the chrome.
Where are the images from? I'm always worried that they don't have the correct license.

Is there some technical discussion about the tech stack? Sometimes it's easier to get traction here with a technical post.

Is there a demo without registration? Perhaps generate a image with a watermark or something. I don't like registering just for testing, in spite it's free.

A tab bar should look like a tab bar. Even if that look historically is skeuomorphic. In the same way that a save button isn't labelled with a floppy disk icon anymore, but with the save icon.
There is a downside to living in college towns. I lived in a small Southern college town for three years while my now-wife got her second degree.

It's harder to find friends for people who aren't 19. You hang out with other graduate students, locals, or university employees your age, but the pool tends to be small.
Sure, but my hope is that if every discussion of Firefox talks about how we all prefer it, Mozilla might realize it's in their best interests to review their decisions, before they annoy the last vestiges of their userbase away.

We can only hope, anyways.

The first day 89 was out, I got a call from a user wondering what the heck happened to Firefox, and if I did something.
I work as a production editor in book publishing, so I'm constantly reading parts of books, and rarely have time to read a whole book. I used to do that for money--copyediting and proofreading, a lot of really terrible stuff, which is partly why I feel kind of burnt out on it now.
I've visited places like Missoula, MT; Bloomington, IN;, Urbana-Champaign, IL; Flagstaff, AZ; Eugene, OR; Santa Barbara, CA; Durham, NC and similar and would consider most of them.
This is not true. I'm not sure what you're seeing, but neither bash nor zsh behave like this in Linux or MacOS.
True in Slackware's heyday (and still true of Slackware itself).

Ubuntu does not come with compilers preinstalled, and I believe the same is true of Fedora. Debian might, but it always was a technical distro. The popular ones tend to leave out development tools for the sake of not confusing the mythical Average User.
No, folks who claimed the virus was bio-engineered were thought to be nuts. Those who claimed it came from the lab were asked to provide evidence.
My physical education classes were just that: Games with rules and things that were physical. You can set a good example by taking regular walks and inviting the children, explaining that you do it for exercise, and it is more fun with others sometimes. Besides, you can learn to work and interact with people by playing games, either online or not.

I can hide the whole tab bar when using TST, but doing so will also hide the window buttons (minimize/maximize/close), which is annoying.
> “I was just reading how running a lawn mower for one hour creates the same amount of pollution as driving the average car for 350 miles,” Merda said.

It’s a quote but the author should have fact checked this since it’s the type of thing people will love to repeat. New lawnmowers are all 4 stroke and based on the quantity of gasoline consumed alone cannot produce as much emissions in terms of CO2 as a car driving 350 miles (unless it’s a Tesla). In terms of NOx and CO, the EPA added regulations in 2011 to reduce these emissions by 35%, and with those regulations followed followed it should be much lower than a car driving for 350 miles. And finally - electric lawnmowers are now very common.
Of course some young people are lazy. And some are not lazy. I have no idea about South Africa, but in the US I can hardly find a business in my town (especially restaurants) without a "help wanted" sign. This may be a short term issue related to the pandemic.
I’ve never lived in South Africa, but I have two South African parents and have visited the country several times, and can confirm that the parent comment is exactly correct. SA can come as a shock if you’re not expecting it: even just driving from Cape Town airport to the central city, the view abruptly switches from tin shacks as far as the eye can see, to houses (which in comparison are mansions) surrounded by barbed wire and electric fences. And it’s the same no matter where you travel. And this is in one of the more affluent and safe cities in SA — ‘safe’ as in, you’re not actually risking your life if you walk on the street in one of the more touristy areas. Definitely an amazing country to visit, but the inequality is utterly extreme.

EDIT: Here’s an example of what I mean. [0] is a Google Street View of a bridge near Cape Town International Airport. On the one side: tin shacks. On the other side: a golf course, behind middle-class (I think) housing.

In the West, our experience is the West. So we often make the mistake of assuming similar systems, even similar beliefs, when we speak about other areas of the world. Forums like this are useful precisely because there is an ability to have knowledgeable people chime in to help us set a more realistic context for discussion.

> Unless you use a wrong image ( like Alpine for Python) or your Dockerfile is poorly made and cache doesn't work

1. this is implementation detail.

2. it shouldn't be so easy to write a bad Dockerfile

3. if it works, it works, and Docker encourages this approach.

4. and this damn cache: Docker is only tolerated in any way at all because of this. alternatively, it might be that baking an apple pie from scratch by first creating the universe is not the sensible thing to do.

i think given the mass proliferation of Docker, i'm going to face some disagreement with this opinion: i don't think we're in a particularly good place where we have a billion deployments musl libc, busybox, nginx, and what else, all of varying versions. on top of the security implications of this, think of all the time and energy wasted in transferring all of this repeated data, on every deployment.

i think it's madness.
Really cool idea, and I dig the UI too. And also, that was a cool orientation post to link us to. Hope it goes well!
You’ve got to enable that first: dev tools → Settings → Enable browser chrome and add-on debugging toolboxes.
For any software that is I/O intensive, there is a large difference in performance between a container and an ordinary process, as well as a number of other sharp edges. Containers are only approximately equivalent for CPU intensive workloads.

Yes, I'm familiar. Based on the drivel that comes out of the Economist on a regular basis, I've long made the conclusion that "they" and whomever their close friends are/they vacation with are the "editors". I don't think it's a remarkable claim. I'm not expecting to see any WaPo articles criticizing Amazon anytime soon, either.
This applies to every single big company. Current tax codes heavily promote being big company, that can afford all the tax optimization/evasion. Our economy forces you to grow big, so you can get benefits of scale, and have enough resources to invest into tax optimization.
Everybody comments on shell programming, but nobody comments on the main message in their paper PaSH, POSH and JIT.

I must admit I did not understand their message at the first quick reading.

Formal methods? Well, I'm not whether anybody tries to prove their installation scripts (or whatever people would script) correct.

Parallelization? Well, if you try to high-performance computing, is the shell really the place to start?
I have been reading a lot less than normal since January. In my case, I just got caught up with work and needed to do something more relaxing in my little free time.

My amount of reading has greatly varied from month to month throughout my whole life. I’d say it’s pretty normal to naturally take a break from it every now and then.
It does, it's per woman. You need 2 people to have a baby so you need 2 babies per woman to replace them and something extra to cover attrition, that's where the .1 comes from.
In all fairness, there are several ways to transmit arbitrary information on the AirTag protocol. The overall reason why people trust Apple with Airtags/Find My is because they're too big to fail. Everyone has already come to terms with the fact that iCloud owns their photos, iTunes owns their music... what's the difference if they also have your location data?
What do help wanted signs have to do with lazy or not lazy?

Comparing two orchestras can be similar to comparing a recording in MP3 to FLAC.

I think i get the point in that learning to listen to those details and recognize frequencies can enhance your ability to spot differences in encoded audio.

I think the first thing you would probably do is try and protect the population as best as possible instead of trying to find your tracks. As an organization that large why do you think Fauci would even know suspect that there is any funding connection.

Hindsight is wonderfully clear.

Maybe you should be in charge since you are so clearsighted and clearly so wise.
Thank you very much! Hoping it finds some takers.
University libraries will often have 40x copies of an essential textbook, because they know they have 40x students taking that course. I guess if you let random people use the library that becomes a problem.
dmenu is great but far from the best--the windows taskbar search and Mac's spotlight run circles around it.
Hunter gatherer societies fought all the time for control of hunting grounds.

What's interesting it's that researchers that lived with the Yanomami and other Amazonian peoples noted that most inter tribal conflicts weren't about competition for food sources-that was rather plenty- but instead for women. In polygamous societies, high status males acquired many wives and young males frequently kidnapped neighboring tribe's women which sparked constant retaliatory raids.
it all goes back to 650x, where we had no multiplication/division and we had to create sin/cos tables.

XOR+RLE is almost useless for binaries, because almost any change will cause instructions to be added or deleted, offsetting the entire binary after the first change, making the xor fail to converge. On top of that, these changes cause changes in addresses in the first part of the binary, so you end up with a zillion similar-looking xor deltas in the first part of the file that won't compress well with RLE.

In fact, if you use smarter compression than RLE, I wouldn't be surprised if the update was larger than the original binaries after the xor, as an offset xor will likely increase chaos (entropy) in the file, making it compresss worse than the original.

bsdiff was specifically designed to intelligently handle these situations, which is why it works.

Just tested it on Chromium from my package server (90.0.4430.72 vs 90.0.4430.212):

- Original binary: 266MB

- Gzipped binary: 106MB

- Gzipped XOR "patch": 228MB

- bsdiff patch: 47MB

"Bare metal" traditionally means running with no OS. Your app takes the place of the entire OS.

And you can definitely run a bare metal application virtualised, just like you can run an OS virtualised.
Reinforcement Learning as One Big Sequence Modeling Problem
What farmers apply is generally closer to what is actually needed for the crops - often guided by soil samples. Not doing that means throwing away a lot of money. Homeowners often put down way more chemical than is needed. Its economics, a single homeowner putting in twice the fertilizer as needed is still spending less than $100 so they don't really care - but over a farm putting twice what is needed down costs thousands of dollars that could be spent on something else the farmer wants.

Farmers are also a lot more concerned about their fertilizer getting into the plants and no running off. Sure a lot does run off anyway, but that is wasted money so they are interested in anything that will keep it on their fields.
I've never heard bare metal used that way. Any time I've heard it used, it's referring to a lack of virtualization. What you're talking about is usually referred to as a unikernel.

Its a great example of how blinding ideology and partisan politics is.

For people who did not have their identity tied to either political side, the lab leak theory was always an obvious possibility.
The way the economy is structured, i.e. a consumer economy in a "democracy" that trend can't sustain in the long run. If the fruits of economic production increasingly become centralised in fewer and fewer hands then eventually either people will clamor for their slice of the pie, resulting in re-distribution via taxes and social programs like UBI or the system will collapse from insufficient consumption. Also your comment assumes things like AI, driverless tech and so on are going to be readily available in the near future.

Evidence suggests the contrary. I bet there will not be widespread driverless taxis even two decades from now. Even if it is possible to create a toy demostration like Waymo has done it is far from clear that such a model is economically feasible. I.e. for a very long time it will be cheaper to hire a person to drive a car than to program and build a car to drive itself after accounting for remote supervision, maintenace, cleaning cost.

Despite all the talk of automation in industry not much has happened in many industries because it is still cheaper to pay somebody $15 an hour to do some manual task than to buy a 1.5 million dollar robot (those SWE salaries again) to do the same task especially considering it will need high paid engineers, operators, and technicians to install, run (supervise) and maintain it.

The way for tech to replace manual labor is for the wages of manual labor to go up and the price of tech to come down. If tech drives down low skill wages then it exerts a feedback effect limiting the adoption of tech.
While I have seen this definition used in some very specific circumstances (like high frequency trading where they can afford to hire people to actually write a fully customized app for the hardware), this definition is so specific as to be essentially useless as it would apply to virtually nobody.

Typical IT usage means something is running on an OS that’s installed on the hardware, as opposed to in a virtual machine.
Your idea that Japan's lost decade was caused or extended by a low birth rate doesn't sound right to me... and the first two results in a search engine don't support your claims. It would also not appear to be provable or disprovable. The lost decade certainly wasn't caused by demographics, and there's no alternative universe Japan that encountered those same economic conditions but many more babies were made.
I would be curious to try this using the upside down buoyancy demonstrated at the end of the video. That'd be... Trippy? Terrifying? Amazing?

Yes, and you can get actual damages without registering. It‘s for the punitive damages that you register.
There's a significant security benefit because container will run with separate namespacing of all system resources, and make it easier to drop unneeded privileges. So the attack surface of any security issue within your app will be correspondingly reduced.
And how often did you do that in your yard as a kid? For me the answer is pretty much never and not because we didn't have a big one full of grass.
Can't stand this guy's self entitled attitude. He's perfectly allowed to do this in his own private premise. But when the activity affects others health and causes long term damage to rooms it's not surprising there are no hotels that allow it in the room.

Totally selfish.
pkg "compiles" your app into a binary with a virtual file system inside the app. If you do a "require", the runtime rewrites that call and attempts to load the files from inside the sandbox virtual file system.

You can even provide assets (like say a JS app and associated HTML, CSS) that are stored inside the app. You can then build a full app as a single binary with no extra dependencies or files. There are a few gotchas like when you need native library support in your app (if you are using a sqlite driver) and then you need to ship a .node file with your app. But, generally, it is a great solution once you get the hang of it.

You compile against a specific version of node, and that runtime is included in your binary. You don't need the client to install node or choose a version, you lock that down when you build your app.

I've experimented with a lot of different nodejs packaging tools, but pkg seems to work the best with the fewest surprises.

I my opinion this helps fuel the rise of misinformation. How can you expect the average citizen to be informed when they're locked out of the most credible information sources? The academic publishing system is complicit in the disinformation age.
But the whole reason why I'm not fertilising is because I want it to to be nutrient poor. Why would I then want to make it nutrient rich again by mulching?

Nutrient rich is what you want for those completely uniform boomer tier lawns with only one species of grass. Whereas nutrient poor forces the grass to take a step back and leave more space for all those broad leaf plants.
