I recently went to write a kernel module on my Ubuntu system, only to discover the boot loader now defaulted to "secure boot" nonsense and I couldn't insmod a non-signed module.

I tried to simply disable "secure boot" in the BIOS settings and then the boot loader just did absolutely nothing. Hot fucking garbage.

Apparently, if you have "secure boot" available during the install it will use "secure boot" without any way to opt-out.

Thanks! And great question. That is definitely key to getting the most value out of it. I like to use Google or Facebook/Instagram ads and make sure the demographic / keyword choices are geared towards that group. For example if I am targeting a demographic that potentially will buy a certain toy, I will set up ads against similar toys.

We do have a managed campaign service that helps do this part as well, as I recognize this is probably the hardest part of the learning curve in idea validation.
AWS Nat Gateway Pricing and Cost Reduction Guide
I wonder how the planes looked and how the investment in a new aircraft vs operating an old one looked like if the fuel price increased a lot, because of emissions regulation. I understand now fuel is really cheap and is not taxed (compared to for example private cars).

Boeing could design an efficient airliner and then use its political muscle to get strict emissions regulations going in the US at least.
Interesting comment. I'll say it another way: in America, people either agree or disagree with you. That's not my personal viewpoint but one that doesn't seem inconceivable to an outsider.

At the risk of misusing Gen Z slang, Etsy is "Cheugy" and depop is "no cap fire". Depop has the cache of being cool enough that celebrities (Doja Cat and Princess Nokia come to mind) whereas Etsy is more "mom crafts", with that being said I'm a big Etsy shopper. This feels a lot like the aqquistion of Instagram by Facebook in terms of buying a company for not just utility but social capital.

Honestly I consider that properly pricing externalities might be the #1 priority we need to change right now. Nevermind all the castastrophes and loss of freedom brought by capitalism. Without charging private interests the true costs of their activity, allowing them to pocket the profits and spread the losses, markets are not even in theory optimising for utility / social good.

A Georgist approach to this would probably alleviate many of the most pressing problems of global neoliberal capitalism.
Yes, this is only an issue for cross domain prefetch.

With HTML resources, the goal of prefetch is typically not to get a head start on loading enormous amounts of data, but instead to knock a link off of the critical path. The HTML typically references many different resources (JS, CSS, images, etc) and, if the HTML was successfully prefetched, when the browser starts trying to load the page for real it then can kick off the requests for those resources immediately.

Honorable? Maybe.

> Better to license technology but maintain ownership so you can sell it again to others. And now that the risk is gone, the hotter the technology the more you can ask for working technology you can demonstrate. Of course this isn't possible in all technology niches

This is great in theory, but in practice it’s rare to develop something that can be passively licensed off. Usually it becomes a business that requires constant attention as it scales. I know a few people who have developed apps that sold well initially and looked like easy money, only to be buried under a flood of copycat apps as soon as the market realized the opportunity was there. The best success in cutting the cord seems to be building a company which is then sold off, but that’s hardly an easy path.

This feels a bit like the “passive income” pipe dream that is frequently touted in FIRE forums but rarely comes with practical, real-world examples.

I've been advocating Hydrogen for energy storage/transport for decades, but I don't think it works for planes. Specific energy (energy per kg) is against it, I'm afraid. It's not the H2 that weighs much, but it's such a sneaky/leaky gas that containment vessels end up weighing quite a lot. (Maybe there have been improvements in the past decade or so - it's been about that long since I looked.) Hydride storage can't deliver the H2 fast enough for aircraft (again, unless there've been some advances) and we'll not even speak of the flammability issue ;)

Iceberg Charts are an information format in which the most well-known/popular information is placed in the top tier, and each level down ever less known and finally obscure information is placed that only subject matter experts are aware of.

This makes it an interesting structure to explore and learn more about topics one isn't too familiar with.

This work was inspired by suricrasia's "Cursed Computer Iceberg": https://suricrasia.online/iceberg/

Traditionally, icebergs are only presented in an image format, like in https://www.reddit.com/r/IcebergCharts/, but I wanted a site that made it possible to optionally add links and descriptions too

Thanks for the feedback! The main difference between us (Deepnote) and Colab is that we aim for a clean reading experience, and we optimize for speed.

Colab seems to load a notebook that has editable cells and you can start executing cells directly, so it doesn't feel as a "publishing" feature, more like straight up notebook sharing.

You want to draw two disjoint circles and a line connecting their centers.

Now the geometric relation is a simple graph. But in HTML/CSS you likely have to use an invisible parent that these objects relate to and maybe a few other tricks. You’re not expressing this directly anymore, but kind of have to traverse around tree nodes so to say.

It can even be worse if those objects are laid atop of others, and things are switching on the Z axis. You’re now breaking the structure or rather changing it constantly. The parent-child relationship often feels forced.

Designers seem to think of UIs more of an open canvas, typically as a layered grid (a fine grid of single digit pixels) where the objects have arbitrary relations to eachother and the grid. The canvas itself is sometimes the only “parent”.

Or even simpler: you have two objects in different containers, but with the same margin to appear aligned. What you’re trying to express is their alignment and not their relation to their “parent” which might be very well invisible.
Well elm architecture is just a pattern in Concur. You don't need to store things globally at all.

Currently the only thing to take care of is - when a child widget returns some value to the parent, if you want to reinvoke the child widget and somehow restore the previous local state of the child widget, you need to have sent that local state out to the parent previously. This means that you either add the local state to the child widget's return value, or use something like a wire to directly send the state to the parent or something else.

I am working on adding automatically persisted local state to Concur which would greatly simplify this. It would provide an API similar to hooks' useState (and the react bindings will actually use hooks for this).

No, this post isn't callous, and I appreciate the information.

I've had a few days to process, because her last few days on life support..... well, when I saw her, I could just sense that "she" was no longer present.... and the EEGs showed the decline in brain activity. Point is I was mourning her days ago, when her body was still alive. Anyways, a doctor pulled me aside and broke it down for me this way:

The vaccine is our weapon in a war against the virus, and my mother-in-law is a "friendly fire" casualty. They are inevitable, but the war must be fought.

While this kind of helps me feel a bit better, it's been disturbing to my wife and her family...... there has certainly been a rather strong tendency amongst the medical staff to try to attribute the causality to a multitude of other factors. They did this almost immediately. The tests, after days, showed an unusually healthy heart, and left them stumped. Only then did they even begin to discuss the vaccine. I understand why, it's just that the initial 4 days or so of behavior, and refusal to engage in any convo on the vaccine, made them suspicious.

They are Filipino-Americans, and have about as much trust in authority as my West Virginian relatives do, which is basically zero. This made things 20x worse. I'm not sure I'm going to be able to convince my wife to get vaccinated now. She had COVID in February when I did (both of us extremely mild symptoms) and she is currently saying she won't get the vaccine, even if that means cancelling our planned overseas trip.

Anyway, I just got an impression that there is some hesitancy, likely institutional, to not talk about it..... Which makes sense, seeing as how this manifests with famous friendly fire incidents in the military.

Edit:

I forgot to thank you for pointing out the HHS program, but I've been told that the program is extremely high burden of proof (my MIL was on machines for over a week, so any autopsy is garbage at this point). I've heard that in 10 years, they've handed out benefits to approximately 30 people. I hope I'm misinformed on this.
What I didn't understand was why this is even a problem, but they explain it in the article:

> Broader media outlets report on trends, which are used as a proxy for what people are talking about

Fair enough that Twitter doesn't want to be manipulated, I can understand that. Still it should not have a real world impact in my mind. Except that you're right in that "lazy pseudo-journalism" picks this stuff up and report on it, as if it was real news, without doing any fact finding of their own. It's a silly "what's trending" box, it's not actually a source you can use, because we don't know what the criteria Twitter uses to generate it.

News media is moving to fast, and there's a desire to provide 24/7 news coverage, on a budget, so they resort to using whatever silly online gadget is available. Journalist should be WAY more critical about using Twitter and tweets as actual sources of news.
> The fact is that people seem to love being afraid and anxious

They don't love it, but it does compel them to engage with the content. Engagement = growth. Social media is basically a cancer. There are good pockets here and there if curated carefully, but overall it seems like it's a drain on society.
But we don't even make use of the little choice that we have. And for example in Germany, you can choose electricity providers that only use renewables.

About a week ago I wrote in a comment here that "Some of us (masochists) actually like RS-232!". It's nice to be reminded that I'm not the only one!

My primary laptop is an (8-year-old!) ThinkPad W530 that I can't bring myself to part with (it's a beast and still outperforms many of today's more "modern" laptops).

It doesn't have an actual serial port built-in but it does have an (34mm) ExpressCard slot. Luckily, I managed to find a card with an actual RS-232 serial port that connects to the host using PCIe, NOT USB.

I'm going to be quite sad once the W530 gives up the magic smoke. I have stockpiled spare hardware in preparation of that day, however.
Please do mess around with it! And great observations!

Displacing fossil fuel for mobility with green hydrogen + electricity will reduce a large portion of those energy sources.

Hydrogen for heating + for shipping + heavy duty transit -- more.

California has already decoupled increasing amounts of electricity use and emissions through a combination of policies to increase adoption of renewables and through codes and standards for home heating/insulation/good build practices.

So while your statement may resonate with some of the past - it does not handcuff us to a future trajectory. It is possible to change and it is happening - it just needs to happen faster and increase in its scale.

Also - we did stop using whale oil in the early 1900s so your statement is not 100%.

> open source Kafka (which is surprisingly easy to setup)

I've found the hard part isn't day 1 (you do get there quite easily these days), but day 20 when something breaks in an unexpected way. Like when we shut down a cluster to fix issues with the underlying machines and one broker only kept its config, but not its data directory. When restarting the cluster, the one broker without data was the first to be online, since it didn't have to load tens of gb from disk. That lone broker made itself a cluster of one, discovered all our topics, made itself leader for all partitions of all topics ... and when the other brokers came online and joined the cluster, they discovered the no-data leader and promptly started to sync their state to the leader's by deleting the messages they still held, resulting in three empty brokers, 100% data loss. This was a wayy pre-production system and we were happy to break it in interesting ways, but the ease with which we got it into such a state really made us treat it with a lot of respect ever since (that wasn't the only such occurrence, either). Kafka is a very powerful piece of software and big deal for the use cases it's built for, but it has some very thorny parts, and if you can have someone run it for you, you probably should give that some thought.
Will it though? From what I see anecdotally, people will just accept it as the new normal sooner or later.

I worked at a company that maintained racks of DOS boxes to run a some custom code. The contractor that wrote the app also maintained the boxes.

I've worked with similar microscopes. One of them, worked perfectly fine for the tasks it was assigned to, but the software would only work up to Windows XP.

To make matters worse, the whole system was hostile to any changes or updates. We didn't have an installer for the program but disk images to restore the system with the controller software already installed. The computer also had a hardware key connected to validate its licenses. Finally due to some validation checks the software performs, the controller software can't be placed on a virtual machine.

One way you can deal with this is by getting the longest service contract you can afford when you buy the equipment. We had a slightly newer microscope with a service contract that was still good when the XP to Win7 transition happened. It took some prodding of the vendor, but they eventually came down and replaced the controller PC free of charge. Eventually those service contracts run out, and you are left with a perfectly good microscope, and an aging computer.
