I recall Litestream citing a ~3s streaming replication lag.

What replication lag could tar-on-a-cronjob reasonably achieve for a moderate 5GB mail store?

Even tar'ing isn't trivial: I've seen casing of people having missed preserving file permissions, making restoration difficult.
Did Clean have uniqueness typing from it's inception ('87)? That's another way to deal with time.
It's not trivial, of course. But it's also not okay to pretend that you can sell a device for $500 (which in reality costs $2,300), and skimp on the fundamental things that everyone else spends money on to ensure these things don't happen. This could have been fixed. It didn't as a cost cutting measure. I don't know why you were talking about V-Band. SpaceX is not using V-Band. They are mostly using low frequency kaband, and we'll be using high frequency soon. This is exactly the same as all other satellite internet providers out there that have solved this problem. They are not special in disregard. They just chose to ignore it.
I get your point, but specifically Hawthorne is a coastal city, so it doesn’t get “stupidly hot”.

The video where the cat begs (through the buttons) to go outside in the rain, takes one step outside, comes back in, and immediately complains (through the buttons) about the rain, is pretty convincing to me.

Also interesting is its use of the "angry" button in response to not getting its way, or having something irritating it, or when it's clearly frustrated by not having its needs understood.
In retrospect do you believe there may be a better solution to the problems you faced then?
In most cases it's parents who are at the end of their rope and feel like they have no other options. I'm not claiming they're necessarily making the right decision. It's just that they've tried everything they know how to do and see it as a last resort.
They're often backed by... entire religions that claim they're unquestionably doing the right thing in trying to save the children from eternal hell.

I’ve never heard of that fornits site but I found my facility (Cross Creek) on it! The thread hasn’t been updated in over a decade and that makes sense, since last I heard it had “shut down” and been “replaced” by a “completely different” program owned and operated by the same group of people.
I think it relates to how their internal structure is set up and their brand positioning. Apple has only one design team and design system I think, and only caters to folks who prefer simplicity over power features.

I suspect that Windows is more like compilation of what different teams produce at MS, each with their own design opinions and target audience.

I can only imagine how challenging it is to serve beginners and power users with the same UI at the same time in Windows, which kinda implies different UI densities depending on the part of the OS or type of widget.

Apple has the advantage that they get away with simplifying things and have built a brand image around being easy to use.
I'd say chances are somebody brought up concerns at most of these places but management told them not to worry for one reason or another.
Oh please. Local protests in china always result in police brutality and arrests. Just a few weeks ago there was video footage of students protesting the changes to their degrees sitting on steps and the police hitting them. Let’s not try and pretend people are not scared to go against the norm. The vast majority of PRC you talk to outside of china will tell you they absolutely love their country and hate the ccp. Don’t pretend that sentiment doesn’t exist inside china for the vast majority of good people suffering at the hands of the ccp.
It's, in the optimistic case, both. At least from what I understand from listening to the radiolab story on it. Regardless, having the body of a 30 year old and the brain of a 90 year old is better than having the body and brain of a 90 year old.

I don't understand people who say things like "I will live with the time I'm given". Do you reject modern medicine because that's an unnatural extension of your time? If you had a fatal illness that could be cured would you refuse treatment? Hand soap, fertilizer, and modern nutrition have likely extended your expected lifespan. Do you go without those as well?

I think it can sound romantic to stick with your natural span. Especially if that span extends out for decades yet. I expect it's another matter entirely to be on death's door.

A less selfish way to think about it is to imagine an elderly loved one. If your mother could take rapamaycin and live an additional 40 years in good health, would you prefer she die at 80?

I think death is a very bad thing and having a way to put it off is very good. Fatalistic attitudes confuse the issue.
Parents whose choices and behaviors have resulted in having raised a troubled teen make really poor choices in how they deal with their troubled teen. That’s not surprising.

A child's peer group is often at least as important as whatever their parents do. Parent have little influence on that.

It’s fascinating how little innovation there’s been in cheap air conditioning. For one, modern hvac is way too lossy by design. You spend thousands a year heating up an entire zone, which generally is your whole house unless you’re lucky enough to have zoned ducts and multiple air handlers. Even then you’re wasting a lot of energy cooling and heating areas you’re not even occupying. Mini-Split are too expensive to have installed by professionals.

In the situation described in the article ideally the bed could be cooled somehow. Perhaps a device the size of a five gallon bucket filled with refrigerant circulating cool air around the bed somehow? Idk

Edit:

What I’d love to see is a window AC (Ptac maybe) that’s very large, say half a full sheet of plywood, so 4 x 4ft that’s 2in thin. Then you could actually fit this in like a window in between the walls. If it’s silent thru the use of an inverter it would be better than both a Mini-Split and a window ac due to the fact that it’s 16sqft footprint would afford it very large fans which could move the volume of air effectively silently.

It's interesting; AFAICT "smart" in relation to consumer electronics has seemingly never been used for any other meaning than "is connected to the Internet, enabling some cloud service to manage it, and for you to interact with it through that cloud service."

Meanwhile, if you want to express the idea "a device that uses local sensors + local processing to attempt to optimize for property a human configured it to optimize for", you don't call the device smart — you call it intelligent.
Medicine is already a class issue. We already see class divisions, at least here in the US, over who gets healthcare and who does not.

Even countries with universal healthcare have it to a lesser extent when, depending on the country, the wealthy can still pay out of pocket for the highest quality private doctors. Or travel to another country like the US that will give you the highest level of care that you're willing to pay for.

As for rejuvenation vs elderly care, that only gets around the problems I mention if rejuvenated people still love about the same amount of time, just with a higher quality of life. Any treatment that increases life span will either cause a a massive population boom, or class-differentiated civil unrest.

I am not, but I can downvote things that I think degrade the quality of discussion, which in my personal opinion includes a great many Covid threads. Others of course can submit and upvote stuff they find is interesting. If you have good stuff that challenges the conventional wisdom, please post it, as I actually seek out that kind of material (for example, Alina Chan's Twitter feed, which in my opinion is the best skeptical source on the lab leak theory).
Is the name meant to imply that this is the mail server equivalent of caddy?

[edit] I found the FAQ:

> It was intended to be one but developers quickly acknowledged the fact email cannot be easily abstracted behind some magic.

So it can't be as simple as caddy, but they're doing their best. :)
> it feels to me like there is a persistent & vocal small group of people who seemingly either have some agenda that makes them not wish to consider BTRFS

Look here is the problem. The BTRFS people declared multiple time that it is stable. For a few years it was repeatably 'BTRFS' is stable now if you use it in such an such a away.

But then it destroyed a drive.

Then it a few years later and now it was actually stable.

But then it destroyed data again.

I know what they are saying about themselves but unfortunately the project has simply lost credibility with a lot of people. File system should be developed to be stable first and then slowly add features never being unstable. They shouldn't still regularly destroy peoples data after years of years of development.

While at the same time ZFS has been basically stable since early days, many developers at Sun switched their root drives to ZFS before it was even officially released. It never had years and years of routine instability.

> Few other file systems seem to face anywhere near as much criticism,

Where few file system claimed they were stable for years while routinely losing data. The file system has one job first and foremost, don't destroy users data.

This is not a conspiracy, this is simply the reality that tons of people have lost data because BTRFS repeatably claimed stability when it wasn't.

Its now another couple years later, likely this wouldn't happen again. But that after all these years they still haven't managed to get RAID 5/6 fully working doesn't exactly scream confidence. So me and I assume many others simply have lost confidence in the project and the approach they take to the development.
As an aside to this…..I worked for a switch vendor. We where asked by the DoD to provide commands to disable heat, etc. related shutdowns. ‘Nuf said.
I’ve gone back and forth on that question a thousand times. I’m almost pathologically agreeable so it’s easy for me to minimize and slip into a place of, “oh, it’s ok, I was off my rocker and extreme measures were necessary.” But just because I needed help doesn’t mean I needed what that school was doing. So, while it introduced me to a way to stay clean, and kept me clean for long enough to clear my head, those aren’t, like, super unique things that one can only find in these horrible programs. For me it was a net negative, and I could’ve gotten the positives from any number of other places.
Came here to link this exact comic. It's heartbreaking to imagine the pain he went through, and he's only one person among many in similar situations.

He's still releasing chapters, almost at the end of his stay in Elan.
I think when people say things like, “I will live with the time I’m given” they often mean that they will live however long they can, with medical intervention, while the cost of that intervention and additional years it provides isn’t too high. So it’s likely they will still take advantage of the current technologies that have the potential to extend their lives, as long as the price it imposes isn’t over some cost threshold. Though, I suppose some people will simply do whatever they can to stay alive no matter the cost since they value their lives above everything else. Others will shun the life saving measures and die.

Great, then we just need enforcement which is much simpler than new laws and also doesn't require lynch mobs.
Well thank you for informing me of that.

I'm hopeful that if people were to look at the same data the teams would not have such vastly different ideas about what problem they are trying to solve. I presume that these organizations generate overlapping products because they don't communicate, but shared data is a kind of top-down communication which works even if the teams feel that they can not coordinate.
Stay away from office supply stores and online. Walk into a showroom that offers office furniture and prepare to liberate some cash. The starting point is generally $600.
To be fair the humidity in Houston is often above 80 percent even at night. 78 and 80% humidity would cause you to sweat profusely while sleeping under covers
You would probably want to think about the design of the actual house more than thinking about gains in AC efficiency. There are unconventional home designs that passively make a home tend either cool or hot using the surrounding environment. Good luck dealing with the zoning board though.

Typical satellite internet uses about 30W.
It is really humid in Houston so 78F without some form of cooling is pretty uncomfortable. Plus, I bet they're used to keeping it at 70...

I'd go further and say modern housing is unsustainable. Check out passive houses.

Totally not reliable, but I once heard an estimate that if aging was cured, the average lifespan would be about 600 years due to various forms of non age related death-- accidents etc.

In the recent NPR podcast they talked about the fact that inventor of rapamycin practically cured himself of late stage cancer (given up to 6m of life, lived 5 years)
His cancer was nowhere to be found.
Then he decided to prove rapsmycin was the cause, stopped taking it, and died very shortly of cancer.

For the life of me I can't understand how people like it so cold. I have to imagine a lot of it comes down to overweight/obesity but a lot of places I go are colder in the summer than they are in the winter.

Is that really true? At my school your peer group was heavily influenced by your interests. Kids who played sports hung out together, kids into band hung out, kids in honors classes hung out. And kids with no other interests hung out too. By and large this last group had parents who weren’t involved in their kids’ lives.

It’s just one data point, and there were many non-troubled kids who had non-involved parents. But I can’t think of many cases of the converse, troubled kids with parents who actively were invested in their kids’ success.
In security of systems you would call the design “Fail open”. They are many systems that fail open.

An example of fail open design in the real world, is electronic magnetic locks at apartment complexes or business buildings. If the building loses power the doors demagnetize and unlock, then indefinitely remains open but failing because it is always open now. The opposite would be the building loses power and the doors fail close and lock the doors indefinitely when power is lost, and now people can’t escape.
For certain IPs (probably determined by counting visits per day/week) nytimes and a few others, eg. wsj, seems to not even deliver the full article, instead only giving the first 2 paragraphs so if you don't have JS enabled you just don't get the article.

I've been using Maddy now for about a month for my email, and it's incredible. The dev says it's not caddy for email – but in my experience, it's certainly been that easy.

I've got to write a longer article about this, but self-hosting email is incredibly liberating. I now own my entire digital identity. I can work on open source projects with developers around the world completely while relying only on my own capabilities.
I think that Hackaday's temporary obsession a few years ago with bullshit content and over-wrought artistry really hurt it with its core audience. I bet if you made a graph of Hackaday's daily pageviews and the average number of Vimeo links you'd see an inverse correlation. They chased trendiness too hard and never recovered.

Amazing how living in different parts of the world changes your perspective on everyday things, here (Italy) centralized AC is basically non-existent (and expensive), mini-splits are the norm but they're usually installed with a dedicated external motor for each room and very rarely with a single motor and a mini-split in each room.
I completely agree with you. Though as a Minnesota resident, a 32F low temp operating bound is hilariously ludicrous. "Well below" -20F would be the expectation here. I'm sure Canadians would extend that to well below -40.
Huge kudos for holding back whole platform.
"When I was your age I got whooped all the time and I came out alright" says the parent who did not come out alright, left with an internalized belief that abusing children is totally fine.
Yikes, though this is why I appreciate my own sensor dashboard for home temp, pressure and humidity monitored by my Pi + enviro+. It’s pretty good about alerting me to temp changes. I now feel pretty sensitive to degree changes over 70, especially as relative humidity goes up over 45%. Dry air up to 74 I can handle with a decent ceiling fan. Houston at 78 would be higher on my discomfort index.

Until reading this article I didn't know Fluent Design, Metro and Windows 8 Win32 were supposed to be separate design languages; I'm still not convinced, and in any case I can only see those with the sharpest of eyes noticing any differences here.

Calling out things like MMC, winver and screensaver settings as relics from Windows 95 also seems like a huge stretch to me. Even though their layout has remained the same (which is a good thing; they do their job well), their design language is quite clearly different from their Windows 95 counterparts.
I don't agree with criminalizing obesity, but I wanted to point out the serious strain it puts our system under. Far more than drug use. Perhaps we shod consider regulating foods and/or having harm reduction education around food and eating habits.
Those are cultural changes that evolve over time. Also lower death rates correlate to higher socioeconomic status, which is what correlates to fewer children.

Either way, a widespread treatment becoming available over a relatively short period of time would not give society time to adjust in this way. There would be a crisis, perhaps even imposed limits on having children in many places. Assuming we got through it, things might settle down.

The hard upheaval to deal with is if it was available only to the wealthy. Class warfare would be taken to a whole new level.
