"The shudras are the only section of society allowed to accept another’s employment"

As I am an employee now, as are many of my brahmin friends, are we shudras now? If I start teaching the holy books, do I become a brahmin?

What the hell does duties according to ones nature mean? Who decides ones "nature"? A single person can be an employee, warrior, priest or businessman. What is the point of forcing people into categories?

What does it mean to perform your caste duties and nothing else, even if I am better at something else? How does that jive with "duties according to ines nature". If I am an employee, can't I have a side business.

Why is there so much worry about marriage across caste lines? Why fret about varna sankara? It is obvious that you get your caste by birth, not by your acts. If you perform your caste duties without asking questions you get an upgrade to a higher caste in the next birth. Ultimately, becoming a brahman. You can cross check with any guru in a temple you like, instead of arguing with me.

Examples of shudras becoming brahmins are pre-bhagavata gita. After the gita, such a caste transition is only possible via the cycle of death and rebirth.
You'd be surprised how hot surrounding oneself with mylar gets. I've been inside a grow tent lined with mylar, and even though it was open on one side, it felt like a sauna within minutes!

Honestly, I really dislike GitHub Actions. It's completely proprietary, very hard to read, and near impossible to reproduce locally.
Take a look at and of the YAMLs defining GH actions. They make a huge mix of docker images and different types of environments that are a huge pain to reproduce locally. GitLab and Sourcehut are basically runners that run shells scripts -- scripts that you can also develop and debug locally.

And that's the whole point of open source. Free to use as one wishes.
I maintain `vdirsyncer` and we used to rely on Travis.

At some point, our `master` branch broke (unrelated to CI), so I picked up fixing that. We ran out of credits mid-way, so work on the entire project was blocked.

We requested more credits and had no news. I eventually moved the project over to using sourcehut's CI (although keeping the source on GitHub).

Weeks later, we got the credits from Travis. It was too little too late.
> Free in the Parler/4chan sense

If that were his goal, banning any channel even mentioning libera.chat seems to be going in the opposite direction. If he actually went more hands-off in the style of 4chan it'd have had a chance of surviving. There was a period after the takeover where a lot of people were just kinda waiting to see. Now that they have seen there's not much chance left for freenode IMO.
We have FF+FG, a pantomime to collectively keep the conservatives in power, and we have everybody else. FF+FG have been in power almost continuously since the formation of the state.
I suspect the minimum die size is dominated by all the pads required.

Edit: maybe not, I found a die shot: https://zeptobars.com/en/read/FTDI-FT232RL-real-vs-fake-supe... - even on the genuine 2005 die there's lots of empty space. Could probably squash that by 50% with only moderate effort without even a process shrink.

Now I'm wondering what volume FTDI see. Can't be too high or it would be a more competitive market.
The internet destroyed the business model for old-school media.
So now they just generate a never-ending stream of fake controversy to sell eyeballs to advertisers.
Wow thanks for explaining and the links. Sounds very interesting, I will have a look.
No but they got humphries to jump on the bomb. Just like they did with the PUP.
And HIPPA covers more than just computers. It includes paper records. Using just the CFAA as crutch for data the should not misused still allows misuse of paper documents or overhearing a conversation ect...
Luckily the threshold for switching to libera for non-channel-owners is pretty damn low. Just update your config to point towards libera instead of freenode. Even if you only lurk that's probably not too much to ask.
Really great efforts and I appreciate the write up!

> There was a post on here in the last month or 2, atleast for reading, that used http range headers for reading the db pages.

That was for a local SQLite doing remote loads/stores, I was thinking more local loads/stores, what websql would have provided.

> as for writing, you're gonna hate this, but a vfs impl. for SQLite using indexedDB as the backing store is your best option (Safari stupidity not withstanding)

Yeah that’s what I was figuring out but then it feels like the SQLite bits are significantly less useful, and I’m not sure how good indexeddb is at being a block device.
Is there any plans to support model generation in future as can be done with JSON schema through something like https://github.com/quicktype/quicktype ?

I'm wondering, since they keep mentioning the mysterious "AE" letters woven everywhere with a reversed E, wouldn't it actually make more sense to look at the tapestries back to front (as they do with the one showing the hunters entering the wood)?

That way the E would be the right way around and the letters would read "EA". Equally mysterious, but at least graphically correct.
State of Chip Shortage: Blame Bitcoin
The fake FT232RL device in this article is actually a lot better than some of the devices on the market now.

I bought an FT232RL breakout on eBay a year or so back, planning to use it in bit bang mode, and it turned out that while it worked for talking to UARTs, the bit bang mode was completely broken - and the EEPROM (needed to configure it the way I wanted it) was not even writable at all (probably not real EEPROM).

In my case, it was a counterfeit - the product was explicitly advertised as FTDI FT232 but wasn't. I was fortunately able to get a refund for it through eBay. Sadly it is very hard to know what you are actually getting due to the prevalence of identically branded clones, and beyond refunding me eBay doesn't seem to have done much despite me pointing out that these devices are being advertised as FTDI FT232 but are actually significantly below the advertised specs.

As discussed elsewhere here, FTDI pushed an update that deliberately tries to brick FT232 clones by writing bad data to their EEPROM - which obviously non-configurable devices would be immune from and might be one reason (alongside cost) which the people creating clones have cut out the real EEPROM now.

I agree with those here the bricking was a very bad idea - not all clone chips were necessarily even counterfeits (it bricks based on PID / VID, and can't see what is actually written on the face of the chip; reusing a USB PID/VID registered by someone else to enable compatibility without using another company's trademark isn't counterfeiting). Given they deliberately destroyed other people's property because it contains a chip that might not even be counterfeit deeply embedded in it by the manufacturer, I think they are lucky not to have faced any lawsuits or prosecution.
As I read it, the point was not about the wrong pronoun but about the fact that the suite is developed by one person and not a large team and that the burden of benchmarking Linux performance should maybe not rest on one person alone.

I had met Marcel van Lohuizen when he was in the board of my previous company. One of the passionate techie and down to earth guy. He was actually working on cuelang and had not released it yet. After he gave us a presentation on Cue, one of my thoughts was that it is not easy for beginners to grasp it but then the language is not meant for beginners. My Second thought which was completely whack, was may be you could use it as a add-on for Protobufs, as the schema definitions in Cuelang has validations builts into it, which might remove boilerplate validation code in grpc services.
I don’t get why do you want to go and pick it up yourself rather than getting it delivered?

I try to limit the dependencies I bring in but these days I prefer to use click[1] instead of argparse, it's got more batteries included, specifically for me a more composable cli and an overall better experience around the parameters. I do miss being able to have default values for optional arguments, but only if the arg is actually supplied (e.g. -j for max parallelism, -j <n> to specify, nothing for no parallelism).

I think "the technical director" and "very senior" bits are misleading. You can google "cnn" "technical director" site:linkedin.com and find lots of people with that job title, some as "senior technical director" and so on. It's like "vice presidents" at banks.

If you write the spec to be compatible with SQLite and everyone picks that, then you have in essence mandated SQLite and your spec is at the mercy of the project’s decisions.

If you write the spec to not be compatible with SQLite then every browser has to implement its own SQL layer which is a huge effort and frankly a waste because SQL is kinda shit.

I feel like we will have successful no-code tools at the same time as we stop having lawsuits, when we have laws that have zero loop holes and correctly specifies how to handle 100% of edge cases. In other words, probably never.

Yeah each user gets the choice right now as a consequence of LinkedIn's product design.

As far as I know, there's no reason it couldn't be "Log in to see this profile".

I believe the injunction bars LinkedIn from blocking hiQ specifically from accessing the publicly available information (which again is public by LinkedIn's choice). They made a point to draw a distinction between the public stuff and stuff behind a login/password.
Car Care Suggestions that are vital to know
This is one of the crucial things and you should ponder these points for protecting the autobody paint in Calgary. You should prefer making a proper garage in the house to avoid parking the car on the roadside.
Man I agree tho not just on desktop and web. Cut and Paste on Android is my goto example of just such an absurd experience. One day the paste button disappears and a huge ass clipboard shows up no one asked for. I have to close the damn clipboard as extra step everytime. If I hit back space to reduce what I am copying the whole string gets deleted. What sort of development process approves all these useless changes just boggles the mind.
I've gotta say, groceries in NYC seem uniquely awful. We stayed with friends in Greenpoint for a week and it was grim. The supermarket that was around was dire, the bodegas were fine, but really expensive for not great quality or range, and then you could walk half an hour to Whole Foods in Willamsburg, which was eye-wateringly expensive and rammed.

Compare this to where I live in a London, which is a similar PT distance to central London as Greenpoint. We do all our shopping at a brilliant greengrocer just the round the corner, there's specialty delis and such in walking distance. There's also a number of Sainsbury's and Tesco locals. Then, about 25 min walk away, there's two major supermarkets (a Waitrose and a Morrisons). I guess people in NY don't cook?
Yep. Women education is the only thing with proven negative correlation to birth rate. That's why apart from WWF I only donate to women education in Africa.
On the Mac I loved Nisus Writer [0] in the past. However, it's Word compatibility was limited, which is annoying if your company uses Word for internal documents. It's fine for RTF documents though.

Perhaps these days the Word compatibility is better, but I'd wager it will never be 100% compatible with Word.

I absolutely love the platypus and what it represents.

It seems often that in education (of any level, of any area of study), students are taught some basic rules and forms. Then, as an exercise, they are given a challenge to those rules and forms. It's an application of the Socratic method, teach the underlying concepts, then challenge them with a thoughtful group discussion, and dissect the thought processes used. Too often, the "solution" is too obvious for someone well versed in the material. The platypus defies that tradition. It defies the classifications of taxonomy even for the experts. Sure we can pretty readily say it's an abnormal mammal now, so it's not a perfect counter-example, but it's the best I've seen, because it still has unexplained evolutionary background.

There's a joke or a link buried somewhere in here. Plato was Socrates's student. Somehow the humble platypus is the plucked chicken presented to Plato. A indescribable shadow on a cave wall. I don't know what it is. But it's The Architect's joke on all of us. And I love it.

As for the article - just a good overview of why it fits that unframework so well.

Reading news is an addictive habit with the downside of strong political indoctrination. I could see it in some of my family members, unfortunately.

I really would like to have a tool that can automatically put labels on news headers: clickbait, drama, speculation, she-said-he-said, or rumor. It's pretty easy to detect such headlines when reading, so training an ML model shouldn't be a problem. Removing tagged articles automatically would've made my news feed so much better.

And this is where you are terribly wrong, i have seen excel-sheets with the complexity of an operating-system and they are in use for 10+ years, and yes they have well-known bug but you can work around that...really like a real OS, made by accountants etc.

Well one could argue that accountants are technical (number-wise)

I understand, but honestly I'm 36, commuted for many years (South-East of France, not really flat except sea-side), I've currently a re-broken clavicle since 10 days, and yet I still use my (modest) bike (sort of partially-temporarily disabled, that's annoying for the rest of life though). My energy is modest at least I'm maybe shaped for hills, it's just that as I explained, I ride slowly. You can spend as much energy as someone on his electric bike, it's just that you need to go slower, and not be stressed by time. I just wanted to say there are some mental barriers and false opinions on the difficulty of bike, or societal (like the fact to sweat ..) which can be overriden
That wasn’t my argument. But well done on successfully arguing with yourself. Bravo.

So if we “know” that USDT is a scam, and people are being deliberately misled then we should define it as fraud, or come up with some kind of new regulation. (By your own logic).

So we agree.

The problem is that you're not accounting for ads, which have been used often enough as distribution networks for zero-day exploits, and other forms of drive-by infection. A virus scanner can't help against the zero-days itself, but the payloads are usually the same generic bullshit that will be picked up.
How is that different from literally any other e-shop experience? Do you always go to a Main Street shop to buy everything, or do you order things online?

Groceries are just another commodity sold online. And the "value added" is not exactly tiny.

Your assumption that home delivery does not add much value compared to driving to a mall and carrying your purchased stuff back home rests on a lot of assumptions:

a) you can drive and have a working car at your disposal,

b) you have no other duties, such as caring for young kids or a bedridden person, or you can afford paid help,

c) you are fit enough to carry the stuff you bought,

d) you are not contagious, or you trust your immune system enough to interact with contagious strangers; this is not just a covid thing, even a "good" flu season has some mortality,

e) there even is a suitable mall in your proximity.

And another perspective: maybe driving to a mall and back is virtuous in your book, but it almost certainly isn't as eco-friendly as home delivery. A small truck carrying groceries for 20 families does not burn anywhere as much gas as 20 families driving their sedans to the mall and back home. Its route will be more efficient and only one living person, the driver, is being carried around by the car, not 20+.
Pandemic prompts digital 'boom' in account creation, as well as password fatigue
There's a lot to say in favor of this and I generally agree. It's frustrating to see taxpayer money used in this way. If the government were to say, "taypayer money = open access," it would need to factor in the many situations where taxpayer funding is combined with private investment. This includes the time and professional reputation of the project owners, who may be risking a decade or more of their career on an innovative idea that might not pan out.

This is just my perspective from researching SBIR grants, which are generally $100,000 - $250,000. This is enough to fund a component of a project or get started, but this deceiving large amount really isn't that much in the grand scheme of things.

It would be interesting to isolate projects where taxpayer dollars constitute a majority of the funding and go from there.
Toyota was way ahead of the curve and selling more EVs and hybrids than Tesla untill something like 2018-2019. Only last few years Tesla is ramping up their output and becoming this "threat".

Toyota is not a European company. But it certainly is "the car industry" and it has moved that industry towards EV for years before Tesla produced anything close to significant numbers.

And when it comes to e.g. self-driving, Volvo is far ahead of Tesla too. When it comes to safety and duress Tesla is far from leader too.

I don't like fanboyism and a lot of "Tesla Praise" is driven by mostly this. They make great cars, I presume far above average (which also includes all the low-end cheap cars). But above all Tesla seems to be a great marketing machine, yet when it comes to building cars, they are not up there yet between the BMWs, Volvo or maybe even Toyota, Nissan or Volkswagen.
