Such a long story with so much "evidence" only to fall at the very basic hurdle of the very first anecdote. Untreated or not, no one has a strep infection for five months. So no matter what else, its at least not that which the antibiotics treated. If taken at face value, it seems more likely that its the anti-inflammatory properties of the antibiotic that helped. For context - the story and the condition and treatment seems quite similar to the story of chronic neuroborreliosis. Which has consistently failed to be detected and treated in replication studies.
I’ve been poking around with Sway, coming from Gnome (which I mostly love). What got you into i3 vs a normal desktop, and how long did it take you to realize it was a good fit?
Yes, show what you've developed/produced, as opposed to more abstract items of e.g. job responsibilities.

Also, skillset and capability is more important to me than a pristine employment history, but you need to find an effective way of demonstrating it. A portfolio of projects is a good way I think.

Personally, if I were to take a break from being employed, I'd invest some time to leetcode, because I love problem solving and I'm competitive. I just feel that I've never really had enough time or focus to get deep into it, but I think it's a good way to keep sharp. And one can show an achievement record for such activity as well, which is a good indicator of skill.
He might've gotten confused by newer filesystems like btrfs which let you create links to files instantly which effectively work exactly like a copy.
The second file however isn't actually created until a change has occurred, so the linking is only an entry in the catalog to the inodes i believe.

i.e. btrfs snapshots use this feature.
Asking the AI to explain its actions seem a good idea. But when the AI is tasked with inumerable non-repetitive situations requiring its decisions and asking it to explain a decision uses up significant time which will grant a competing AI from a different company an advantage, there is simply no room for humans to have a say in the entire decision process.
I'd agree that getting into PS from cmd counts as a new paradigm, or that getting into Nushell without Powershell experience is as well (based on the examples), but at the point where PS has been shipped with Windows by default for many years now, and Nushell runs natively on Windows, I think it's reasonable to disagree with a claim of "a new kind of shell".

I also think it's reasonable for people to say it's justified - there's certainly, as you and others have remarked, a decent argument to be made for that.

But for me, "different from many common shells, but all the same functionality has been bundled in one shell before"* strongly violates my expectations for "new kind of shell".

* - I am not trying to definitively state they have no new functionality, I absolutely have not dug in deep enough, just that I did not see any examples of it, which I would have expected prominently.
Sonos should try and make their interface usable. It's shit, and will forever be shit. Spotify (connect) is the reason they became popular (after their high end niche 15 years ago).

It might not matter to the new entity, it might not matter to an observer, but in that situation you've just killed the human, who is very much dead.

There is a budget. There are finite hours in the day, finite inches on a screen and the court system is already overloaded enough without the American Computer Liberty Union adding onto the caseload. I find the AI rights debate absolutely infuriating because there are actual people suffering in bondage under oppressive tyrants and they actually do have rights which we currently are not doing enough to protect in my opinion. Computers can get in the back of the line, behind all the real people who actually matter.
as the other comment says, asura/deva were not allways hero/villain split.

King Bali is the perfect example.
Bali was called an asura, but he never did anything wrong. He waged wars with devas, and even when devas pleaded vishnu for defeating him, Vishnu recognized his virtues and agreed to push him to paatala (below earth) using trick instead of killing him.

King Prahlad is also another example, he is born to an asura father, but is worshipped as deva.
His cousins/sons were again be treated as asuras.

Deva/Asura is calibrated to the speaker.

Not only in the US, Europe is the same(Portugal and Spain at least). It is absolutely ridiculous to expect life critical care from people who are working those hours.

I think that is what they want to imply, as well as get boatloads of money on demand due to pay per hour.
What do you mean by "After 2 warm-ups"? I've seen this expression in the context of benchmarks before and it puzzles me.

Yeah, the article and letter seem to make a huge jump from companies throwing together tongue-in-cheek advertising campaigns about dreams --- the Burger King "nightmare burger" ad campaign was literally just a burger with a green bun that got them media coverage? --- to smart speakers playing subliminal messages.

The issue with testing environments is that they almost always differ from the production environment in important ways. Cloud and infrastructure-as-code can mitigate this to a certain extent, but I doubt this issue can ever be fully eliminated. Good CI pipelines should always be our first line of defense. Testing environments sometimes sound more appealing because you don't have to write tests, but that's a trap.
And many ideas that are actually wrong are also unpopular. "I'm right because they don't like me" is not the best reasoning.

No. The GDPR is an EU Regulation which is, by definition, a binding legislative act. It applies in its entirety across the EU - no exceptions, no opt-outs. EU Member States are allowed to interpret (to a greater or lesser degree) EU Directives when they translate them into national law[1]

The EU GDPR no longer applies in the UK because the UK is no longer a member of the EU. The EU GDPR has been incorporated into UK law (as the UK GDPR) but there's nothing preventing the UK Government varying it at any point in the future[2]

McAfee finds security vulnerability in Peloton products
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a script written without the shebang.

Btw, you can get around the ancient bash in macOS by installing a more modern bash and invoking with /usr/bin/env bash as your shebang. Not sure if that’s a great idea, mind you, but if you’re already writing scripts in something non-portable, it’s an option.
I feel the same. It was a period where I was also deep into the Tony Hawk games, skater culture in general, (pop) punk music. It all had a good vibe: have fun, be who you want to be, don't take everything too seriously.
That's not entirely weird to me.

For the longest time bash was in various states of disrepair on different Unixes. I could make it segfault pretty easily.

I wrote scripts that had to run across Linux, BSD, HP-UX, Solaris, and AIX at the time. So we relied on a ksh88 implementation on each. Whether it was AT&T, mksh, or pdksh, it was fine. Couldn't rely on 93isms, but basically anything POSIX was cool.

I used ksh93 interactively for the longest time. But then Linuxes stopped testing interactive use w/ their packages and it became unusable (looking at you RedHat). So I used bash interactively but still wrote those ksh scripts.

These days, I use zsh locally on MacOS and BSD, but mostly write bash scripts for those and Linux. I still stick to the POSIX habits I have for portability. But the variances are so less. The only one that annoys me is the "does sed -i do in-place" game.

I don't think my interactive shell and target scripting shell have ever matched 1:1 in feature set. And what I slap together interactively or for 1-off script, I would never do for a "real" script. And that's a thing that bugs me with a lot of shell scripts I see in the wild.

A "real" script should make very little assumptions, fail safely, be low on resource utilization to not risk impacting a business workload, and be maintainable. I write everything real like it might be run thousands of times accross thousands of hosts. Even when I didn't intend for it to be, I've caught it in the wild because someone borrowed what I did.

I do love shellcheck, because it teaches our newer folks good habits and they're used to that kind of feedback in other languages. It catches so many things that make me cringe. It's not perfect, of course, but pretty great.

When I started out, I worked 9-6 and the Unix sages in my group worked later hours. So they'd walk through my work on the RCS host and I'd come into the morning with a critique in my email. If I didn't understand, I could hit their desk after lunch and they would patiently explain to me. I love them for it, but it is nice to have tools without a 24-hour feedback loop.
If you're referring to the Chrome devtools inspector - unfortunately, that's a no. To start with, no such hooks are available. Additionally, the truly hard bit is figuring out what code the resulting HTML maps to, especially when there's lists, conditional content, and nested components involved.

It is breathtaking how arrogance by Intel has reuined an entire industry and, I bet, cost people money and ruined lives. We should have never allowed CPU instructions to be protectable.

Similarly, even though ZFS and BTRFS have checksums and data integrity, we continue to push unreliable data storage to consumers with no replication.

We have no checks and balances on this infustry, and I dont know how to fix it without bringing down the legal hammer.

>At some point you browser will just turn into another operating system running on top of your operating system.

Nowadays making calls to the browser API is hardly any different from making system calls, and provides about as much generality independent of the actual operating system. Might just be my new showing but I don't think I remember it being any other way.

That can be quite brutal when it comes to some drugs like venlafaxine. The withdrawal symptoms from that are awful. Some psychiatrist don't seem to think that the meds they prescribe can have withdrawal symptoms when you stop.

I think for most people, myself included, the risk just isn’t very high. And ads just don’t bother me either. I’m not pro advertising, but I’m fine dealing with them in many contexts.

Once subliminal ads start then I’d probably turn the devices off. But for now this ranks so low on my list of concerns to be a non factor.

I travel around the US working from different states/cities. The difference in behavior is astounding between the big and small cities. I have the absolute best experiences in small to mid sized towns, and in big cities everyone on the road and in person behaves sociopathically.

It’s often beyond even simple competition / selfishness. You routinely see people going out of their way to be mean even when it doesn’t benefit them. But switch towns and the whole situation is flipped.

yeah, as best I can tell you absolutely can pay someone more if they are better at their job under equal pay laws.

In California for example, the equal pay act requires 'equal pay for employees who perform “substantially similar work,” when viewed as a composite of skill, effort, and responsibility.'

https://www.dir.ca.gov/dlse/California_Equal_Pay_Act.htm

Someone who contributes more inherently must have greater skills and/or put in greater effort, and likely greater responsibility, given they are accomplishing more tasks.

You can pay differently based on a seniority system, a merit system, a system that measures earnings by quantity or quality of production, or another bonafide factor such as education, training or experience.

Here's a copy of that law, it's pretty short.

I've been saying this for a while now. We should abolish this weird cultural tradition/expectation/normalization of continuous "news" consumption and replace it with periodical consumption of in-depth reporting on trends, like you said.

People believe following the news keeps them informed even though the news distors their world view because it mostly reports on exceptions to the rule (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man_bites_dog). "Following the trends" would keep people actually informed as well as provide them with actionable information.

My take on stoicism is not that you need to give up desires. You can have those, follow them. However, it works as long as you don't fight with factors you have no control over.

So I'd be interested to know what it does differently, and couldn't find that answer.
> Christianity's most potent rival in the early Roman Empire

Christianity’s rivals in the early Roman Empire were basically every other faith, because, unlike most Roman religions they were monotheistic. Arguably their most potent political rival was the imperial cult.

The Persians, who were mostly Zoroastrian, were a major rival, but mostly for more mundane reasons.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiribati#Law_enforcement_and_m...: Kiribati has no military and relies on both Australia and New Zealand for its defence

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papua_New_Guinea_Defence_Force...: According to Janes the navy is badly underfunded and much of its equipment is in need of maintenance; as a consequence it is scarcely able to carry out its tasks, with operations often delayed or cancelled. The navy's patrol craft are barely effective; fuel costs and maintenance problems mean that often only one boat is available for sea duty at any time, while the heavy landing craft have high upkeep costs and are nearing the end of their service life. Although the patrol boats may be at times serviceable, the task of patrolling such a large Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) is too great and they are heavily reliant for information about the presence of foreign ships on daily reports supplied by US satellite surveillance. The main concern is illegal tuna fishing by Japanese vessels.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solomon_Islands#Military: the country has not had any regular military forces since independence. The various paramilitary elements of the Royal Solomon Islands Police Force (RSIPF) were disbanded and disarmed in 2003 following the intervention of the Regional Assistance Mission to Solomon Islands (RAMSI). RAMSI has a small military detachment headed by an Australian commander with responsibilities for assisting the police element of RAMSI in internal and external security. The RSIPF still operates two Pacific class patrol boats (RSIPV Auki and RSIPV Lata), which constitute the de facto navy of Solomon Islands.

I suspect the other countries have similar military power.
