There are no reasonable pickup truck safety regulations in the US. Pickup trucks are simply not safe vehicles for other individuals around them. Some are so large that you can't even see small children in front. [0]

The front of most pickup trucks is literally a flat wall, whereas most cars and SUVs have to design for potential pedestrian impact and whatnot. If you get hit by a pickup truck you will be pancaked, but if you get hit by a modern car you have a chance of surviving.

You can thank lawmakers acting on the whims of corporate lobbyists for this. [1] It makes my blood boil, how our elected representatives so casually throw away lives of their citizens.

90% of pickup truck owners don't actually need their pickup trucks, but are allowed to buy and drive these incredibly dangerous vehicles regardless. In turn, this causes an escalating arms race - everyone else feels the need to buy an SUV or other large vehicle. Vehicles get heavier, bigger, and deadlier. The cycle continues.

Part of the issue is that it's part of the self-image of red-blooded American manliness to own a pickup truck. It's ridiculous and childish, but owning a pickup truck is seen as cool and macho throughout large swaths of the country. It will be almost impossible to pass safety regulations against pickup trucks thanks to this population.

If you have your own receiver and your own speakers--a home stereo system, not a PC speaker system--it is just a matter of turning the nob too high to blow them out. With all these wifi-connected receivers these days, I bet if your laptop is compromised, a hacker could turn up the volume and physically damage your speakers. Anyone inside your wifi can cause many thousands of dollars (or whatever your speakers cost) of physical damage. Wow!

> If you don't exist, who wrote this comment?

The hands. Driven by the chemical phenomena taking place in the brain given the information it had been fed previously. Both the hands and the brain and the memories are mine but not me. The same way my finger is (I won't be less me if I loose it, neither I will if I loose a memory of something, even of my name) and my car is. I am merely the observer of all these but ok, then where this me which "merely is" is then? Nowhere because whatever a thing within my body or personality I could point to is mine. Where will that me go when I die or when the universe collapses into a singularity and booms in a next big bang - nowhere, which is exactly where it is now. Because it doesn't exist.

This is a very rough simplification though (in fact the hands, the memories etc aren't even mine if everything else in the world isn't). I had to digest this for years and observe this, excuse me for some nonsense, from different angles inside the multi-dimensional space of pure non-verbal semantic experiences perception. This can be a long way to develop this ability and I am not sure many are ready to go this way. No, I'm not a heavy psychedelic abuser, nor a new-age loon, nor depressed, nor psychopathic, I am sober, enthusiastic, generally Okay, happy and compassionate and the realization of the above only made me even more of these and helped me through the hard times.

The first step is to observe it (a pure meaning without words) when you know exactly what you want to say but can't recall a proper word in any of the languages you speak.

If I were to seriously rationalize this I would say nobody writes the comment, it is an emergent structure resulting from a very complex fractal system. Whoever is not really into this but feels curious and wants an easy explanation watch the Dr. Sapolsky's lectures on emergence in his behavioral biology course on YouTube.
You just need to process a great deal more of it. But there is no upper limit to the size of an ionizing grid, and the mass is negligible.

> If it can be scaled, it might be interesting.

The article seems to indicate it can.

"It can be sterilized, produced on massive scales and completed by patients any time anywhere with “minimal effort,” according to the study published recently in the journal ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces."
> Is that really the doctors fault?

It seemed that most of the doctors I had to deal with were incompetent either because they were lazy or stupid. Realistically maybe they were just overworked, but the effect was the same. I’m not really interested in assigning “fault” here - that’s just a factual observation I made.
Callbacks are a signal that your operation is done, and the data is ready... usually they have some kind of state (i.e. success, error, the data read from disk/api, etc).

They are usually used within one program itself, and not across systems. Something like the Firebase real time database, or webhooks, are for callback achross systems, but they always are used to pass data/state, and not functions itself.

Again, SQL and maybe Regex (which is not a full programming language anyway), as the most successful alternatives to normal Object Oriented/procedural programing.

Most functional languages have not become successful. I learned Prolog in the 90s, and I could see how it might be useful in some situations, but it is hard to do anything practical with it.

Some functional concepts, like map/reduce, have become popular in mainstream languages, as they are useful in certain scenarios, but pure functional languages have not.

Proper AOT compilation and better handling of low level COM APIs.

NGEN never was anything more than a good enough start-up accelerator, and while .NET supports COM, is cannot directly use COM like APIs like DirectX without some extra help in wrapping.

Every time .NET teams try to improve these scenarios, usually Windows Dev team comes around and steals the show, apparently too much .NET isn't welcomed in some units.

This is how you end up with Longhorn and Midori being sabotaged, or .NET Native being dropped.
Two things I like from it, as per what I've read so far:

* Checksumming

* As you mention, easy maintenance

* Snapshots and how useful they are for backups

In the end what I value is stuff that works reliably, doesn't get in the way, and requiring minimal supervision. And in the particular case of FS, I'd like to adopt a system that helps avoid bitrot in my data.

Could you drop some names that you would consider as good alternatives of ZFS?
OK, thanks for the clarification. I misunderstood your earlier comment.
Did you guys bootstrap ? Or did received venture capital?
We built a messenger app, the client can generate the message row locally and cache it immediately upon submitting the row without waiting for the response from the server. As the primary key can be generated client side (it’s a UUID, it’s quasi guaranteed to be unique), there’s no clash with existing IDs server side. By using the optimistic response pattern the message appears in the frontend immediately. Once the response for inserting the row comes back, the message can be updated in case the server decided to set additional columns — all with the same message ID which the server gladly accepted. Wonderful.
It was probably BTRFS.

I never fell for the BTRFS meme but many friends of mine did, and many of them ended up with a corrupted filesystem (and lost data).
It wasn't a deep move, just a standard response to an unsubstantive comment, perhaps with a small multiplier for subject matter.

If that still doesn't make sense I'm happy to call it a misfire.

Fair enough, though AFAIK none of the SBC systems out there have ECC, and I generally use SBCs due to the low power consumption.

This step in the chain of progress may require people to adapt to the idea of making less money in exchange for a healthier web.
The comparison was to illustrate that scarcity of expertise absolutely affects pay rate, notwithstanding other explanations.

Whether that explains part or most or all of Java dev pay premium is at least debatable. For instance, I would never make the same "throw a rock into a crowd" statement about finding a competent (but not expert) java developer. That alone means I would expect to pay some of a premium for finding them in that crowd.

What's the counter argument to scarcity? Alignment with better paying industries, weighted so heavily in that direction that it shows up as a premium for their developers? I mean, if you start getting into the conversations about the obscurity of domains, or supplemental education associated with Java developers either by coincidence or requirement, or general demand, I think you're still commenting about scarcity.

I post that particular moderation line a lot in a very specific kind of context, which this felt like an example of to me - but I didn't mean it to be a big deal, nor to come down hard on you. I'm sorry if it felt that way!
Again, Stenberg himself seems to feel differently about what's going on than you do. From his blog post "What goes into curl?" [1]:

> I’m the lead developer of the curl project but I also offer commercial support and curl services to allow me to work on curl full-time. This means that paying customers can get a “priority lane” into landing new features or bug-fixes in future releases of curl. They still need to suit the project though, we don’t abandon our principles even for money.

It might not be temporary. Doctors told her that it might come back, but it might never be at full power as before.
Checksums don't help against bugs. You are much less likely to lose your whole disk with ext4 or ZFS than BTRFS.

Yep, if you really want someone to think hard about your condition, a hospital is the wrong place to go. And a lot of doctors will become defensive when they realize you’ve put more thought into it than they have.
As mentioned in the sibling comment, one thing I like is having systems that don't require me to supervise, fix things, etc. In part that's why I've been alwas a user of ext4, it just works.

But I've recently found bitrotin some of my data files and now that I happened to be learning about how to build a NAS, I wanted to make the jump to some FS that helps me with that task.

Could you mention which tools you would use to replace ZFS? Think of checksumming, snapshotting, and to a lesser degree, replication/RAID.

When I write Java I actually don't ever touch InteliJ because I am not a masochistic.

Steam is analogous to PC gaming at this point and there's no indication there's any bias towards either group so it's a good estimate.

From the chart, it looks like Intel lost 10% of the PC gaming market share in just 1 year.
Reddit, and its system for letting "powermods" dictate the acceptible boundaries for discourse, was the bait and switch that destroyed freedom of speech on the internet.

My main point was that the Wii, unlike the 360 and PS3, didn't actually output a 16:9 resolution, it was only able to use the trick described in the article, so I wouldn't include it under "most people's first taste"

I'm surprised all of the responses to this comment are so positive. I worked in a law firm and got an Aeron that was orphaned by a departing lawyer. I found it to be fine, but not amazingly comfortable.

During COVID I bought a desk chair off Craigslist for $60 (MSRP $200, IIRC) and it's been roughly as good for me as the Aeron was. I'm glad to hear others enjoy their Aerons, but I wanted to share my experience since not everyone finds them to be so amazing.
This view is similar to saying things like "The terrorists and the media have a symbiotic relationship and the media is responsible for enabling terrorist attacks, therefore let's ban the media".
I agree... while the video is great - it does have a pretty big hole there.
I got an Aeron about a year ago. I had a desk chair from Ikea before that. I guess I'm in the minority here but I don't notice a huge difference. I don't dislike it but I don't find it to be any more comfortable than the Ikea chair. I switch back and forth between them and don't really prefer one over the other.

I guess the wheels are quieter on the hardwood floors, my office is above a bedroom so that is much appreciated. And the armrests on the Ikea chair are getting torn up after only a few years so hopefully the Aeron is more durable.

But for $1600 or whatever it was I could invest the money and replace the Ikea chair every two years for the rest of my life.
Did you also hear a sound like a bass guitar string snapping when this happened?

Maybe you could move the goal/fitness function along the way. So start with something that compiles. Then having the desired input output. Etc.

POSIX AIO uses `struct sigevent` to notify completion. On FreeBSD you can set ->sigev_notify to SIGEV_KEVENT, and ->sigev_notify_kqueue to a kqueue descriptor.

As for your "performance benefit" question and nobody using it over readiness based approaches: Well yes. No idea how it compares with a traditional readiness based socket program. But it's kind of not the point either. AFAIK the scenario where POSIX AIO makes most sense is files on disk.
I’ve been using one of these chairs for about ~8 years now, and while it’s starting to show its age (the faux leather head and armrests are deteriorating), I’m still impressed by how well it has held up and even more surprised by how comfortable it is.

It’s reaching the end of its useful life, and now I’m in the market for a new chair. I’ve wanted to try one of the “top” ergonomic chairs for awhile, but I also know I can just keep coasting for another $200…I just might get another one.
YouTube livestream crypto scam Michael Saylor

After a long hiatus the youtube crypto scams have returned.

The thumbnails and other graphics make only minimal or no reference to any giveaway, which is to evade youtube's OCR on certain text and images.

These scams are wildly profitable given how only a small fraction of bitcoin equals considerable money.

Unlike ransomware and other frauds, these ppl do not have to worry about tainted crypto or law enforcement. No one seems to care or know what to do about it.
Intermittent fasting is ‘nothing special’ for weight loss
There are a large group of people who really dislike BTRFS. I think they were probably burned by it at some point but I’ve never had trouble and I’ve been using it since it became the default on fedora.
First, I'm so sorry you're going through this illness and hope that you make a full recovery.

But I think that, to some degree, your feelings about the medical profession is a reflection of just how good medicine is these days. People go to the doctor expecting an accurate diagnosis and a treatment or cure. And, to be fair, 80% of the time, that's what they get. It's hard to overstate just how much of a radical shift in expectations this is.

Just a century ago, a compound fracture could be a death sentence. People randomly got sick a just dropped dead. Going to a doctor might, maybe, if you were lucky, fix what ailed you. Hell, just two centuries ago, doctors as we think of them today simply did not exist. Three centuries ago, people in Europe were routinely bled to balance the humors.

Biological systems are mind-numbingly complex. All the simple stuff has been figured out -- and if they are diseases mostly eradicated. Even so, I think that people's expectations of what doctors do is a bit... off. 99% of doctors are not scientists -- they are human body mechanics. And that means they mostly focus on common problems. Because, you know, they're common.

And neurological conditions are some of the most difficult to diagnose. Imaging techniques like MRI or CT often show no problems. Exploratory surgery is highly risky and also usually have no benefit. To extend the mechanic analogy, imagine going to your mechanic and saying "my car's GPS system is sluggish. sometimes. What's wrong?" and then expecting them to figure out what's wrong without being able to look "under the hood" of the computer system. All they can is use the GPS system and observe its behavior. That's essentially what neurologists have to do quite often. Tough job.

The good news is that there are doctors who engage in research. And they are, by trial and error, improving the state of the art of medicine. Does this knowledge get propagated to all other doctors rapidly enough? Probably not. But the knowledge dissemination is probably better today than ever before too. Obviously things can be improved. As pretty much anything can be improved. It just doesn't seem very helpful to spout "doctors are idiots" as some other posts seem to do.
I think so too. A lot of that free energy is in the FOSS movement it seems, and there are plenty freelancers and single consultants in tech. This is a strong indicator that there is enough developers who primarily want to create, while having agency, responsibility and a direct communication channel. So why not start businesses that share these values and bring consumers and producers closer together?
Founders are a sub class of solo ventures. Athletes, artists, musicians, actors etc. all are going through the same basic things at the core.
This is actually about censorship of science and medical professionals on platforms like YouTube. Which is, I think, something to be concerned about.

> China is beyond playing 'catch up'. They might not be making the world's best software or jet engines, but they are making their own innovations in a wide variety of areas.

Can you point to some specific examples of significant technological innovations created in China in recent years? Or technology areas in which China is the world leader?

There are still a lot of areas in which China is playing "catch-up" – semiconductor manufacturing (Taiwan doesn't count), aviation (China wants to challenge the Airbus-Boeing duopoly with Comac, but Comac is still a fair way behind both), just to give a couple of examples. What is an example of an area in which China has the technological lead?
