I run Debian on a small file server in my parent's house. Granted I had to set it up for them, but after configuring unattended upgrades, I only needed to work on it to upgrade from Debian 8 to 10 because it was getting close to being EOL. I keep SSH open to the internet in case I need to troubleshoot something. Their computers automatically run weekly incremental backups and it's transparent to them.

It's not the best solution, but it works reasonably well with little maintenance on my part. On Windows you can set a smb drive to mount automatically at boot and it'll behave like a normal drive. So it was easy to explain to them that you can access that folder from both machines simultaneously.

I agree that this is not a good solution for someone that has to set it up themselves. In that case I'd recommend something like a Synology unit.
Thank you for that! Earlier versions of our home page did have OSS at the top of the page, very first thing. We found that it didn't convert as well as leading with some other things. We do like to harp on it and we see it as a huge benefit.

We'll be adding a lot of improvements to Miki in the coming months, not only MSL but a lot of other things that will make it even easier to use for that 1 thing it does really well: document things with a team.

Looking forward to your thoughts on MSL...
Everything is fine and dandy when everyone is experiencing growth. But there is a point where when sacrifices need to be made, things start getting tribal real fast.

I think there is an underlying trend of that due to certain populations’ socioeconomic status slipping, and I think with the slowdown in population growth, we will be seeing more if it as society decides how to allocate fewer resources.
vscode-neovim really depends on nvim 0.5 I was using a neovim 0.5 nightly before this was released. It's not perfect but it's a LOT better than VSCodeVim.

Any choice we make that is grounded in subjective decision making suffers from this reframing. And, i'd posit that the vast majority of choices are fundamentally subjective. Just take a moment when engaged in "problem solving" and ask yourself "why?", then question that answer again. You get to motivation, identity , "needs" (and not just the basic food and shelter needs) or some other emotion very quickly this way.

Is choosing a life partner a "problem"? What about something as simple as choosing what to wear in the morning or what beer you want from the bar? Even within traditional engineering problems so much of our decision making process can only be evaluated subjectively. Some examples are: naming variables (your compiler doesn't care what you name them), making choices around encapsulation (there are very often many possible ways to do this. we frequently chose the "simplest"- a subjective assessment), choosing a framework or language (a decision which is one part right tool for the job one part joining a likeminded community), etc.

At the root of it, we're emotional beings, not logical ones. Outsource the logical problems to computers, machines, institutions and focus on what makes you human. Otherwise somebody else will make the important choices for you in ways you certainly wouldn't chose for yourself.
Modern IMAP servers support OAuth2/OIDC, (Thunderbird supports this dialog) and IMAP/POP/SMTP has supported kerberos since forever (Though that typically is only within a pre-setup organization).
The code doesn’t write itself. You still need to design the api and queries/models. What this does is remove a layer of friction.

This is what AWS Lambda should be.
"crop deaths tho" is not a stable argument. Eating meat requires death. But there are ways to avoid killing animals when harvesting grains etc. And in any case, it's a very inflated view - you're still killing more animals by eating meat than you are by not.
What is the rational behind your first sentence? Solving problems is progress, and that is anything but bleak.

> Don’t waste cycles on the emotions of having problems.

I don't think you're reading what the parent comment is actually saying. Finding purpose, not burning out, etc are all categorically problems and the common goal is to solve them. Don't get buried in emotion due to _having_ the problems.

Except that CC-BY-SA is not a permissive license; the SA part is a form of copyleft. It's just that nobody enforces it. From the text [1]:

- "[I]f You Share Adapted Material You produce [..] The Adapter’s License You apply must be a Creative Commons license with the same License Elements, this version or later, or a BY-SA Compatible License."

- "Adapted Material means material [..] that is derived from or based upon the Licensed Material" (emphasis added)

- "Adapter's License means the license You apply to Your Copyright and Similar Rights in Your contributions to Adapted Material in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Public License.'

- "You may not offer or impose any additional or different terms or conditions on, or apply any Effective Technological Measures to, Adapted Material that restrict exercise of the rights granted under the Adapter's License You apply."

A program that includes a code snippet is unquestionably a derived work in most cases. That means that if you include a Stack Overflow code snippet in your program, and fair use does not apply, then you have to license the entire program under the CC-BY-SA. Alternately, you can license it under the GPLv3, because the license has a specific exemption allowing you to relicense under the GPLv3.

For open source software under permissive licenses, it may actually be okay to consider the entire program as licensed under the CC-BY-SA, since permissive licenses are typically interpreted as allowing derived works to be licensed under different licenses; that's how GPL compatibility works. But you'd have to be careful you don't distribute the software in a way that applies any Effective Technological Measures, aka DRM. Such as via app stores, which often include DRM with no way for the app author to turn it off. (It may actually be better to relicense to the GPL, which 'only' prohibits adding additional terms and conditions, not the mere use of DRM. But people have claimed that the GPL also forbids app store distribution because the app store's terms and conditions count as additional restrictions.)

For proprietary software where you do typically want to impose "different terms or conditions", this is a dead end.

Note that copying extremely short snippets, or snippets which are essentially the only way to accomplish a task, may be considered fair use. But be careful; in Oracle v. Google, Google's accidental copying of 9 lines of utterly trivial code [2] was found to be neither fair use nor "de minimis", and thus infringing.

Going back to Stack Overflow, these kinds of surprising results are why Creative Commons itself does not recommend using its licenses for code. But Stack Overflow does so anyway. Good thing nobody ever enforces the license!

Also, I generally don't stop the service for maintenance, unless I need to upgrade the database engine.
But that sounds like a difference between two models, not a difference between two physical objects. To me it seems that if you were to follow this line of thinking religiously, you could then never say things like "an atom of carbon has six protons", since, well, they're not quite protons according to this logic.

I switched to Gitea a year or two ago. GitLab was getting too heavy for me. I felt like I was building development process instead of software. Gitea gets out of the way and I don’t miss any features.

Gitea just added push mirroring, so my favorite new thing is to develop via Gitea and push to GitHub for actions or things like Cloudflare pages deployment.

I pledge / donate to bounties for Gitea with the Starter $ I was willing to give GitLab.

In my apartment building in NYC, Amazon packages are absolutely at least 75% of total deliveries, no question. Everything's left in the lobby so it's easy to see.

Probably not higher than 85% though. And of the rest, the next biggest category is packages from clothing stores like J. Crew, Nike, Madewell, etc.

(Also this isn't including groceries or DoorDash, just talking about traditional packages.)
I reckon machine learning could predict whether someone wants the door to open based on their motion, which way they are looking, what they are doing with their hands, etc.
What's just as interesting to the naysayers:

In California: why do people pay different (sometimes significantly) amount of taxes on identical houses next door to each other but receive the same level of service just based on WHEN and HOW MUCH they paid for the property?
That's a rumour.
That's a "super dislike" button, essentially: if you dislike someone so much you'd want to silence him or her forever, you press "report extremist" and SS takes cares of the problematic citizen. At the end, the only speech that survives is quotes from the party's ideology book (we don't have one yet).
Well, a lot of people have come up with good reasons, but for me, it really comes down to the old repairman's adage: there are two kinds of people, those that piss in lifts, and those that do not.

Now, pretty much any programmer can read a lua program, and it takes about an hour to learn, whereas I think the most flattering honest word anybody has ever used to describe vimcsript as is 'pathological'.

For the second kind of person, vimscript is like some combination between russian roulette and vogon poetry, bomb defusal and surreal nightmare. For the first kind of people - I don't know, there are probably some upsides, but honestly, who does that? Do you? That's what you have to ask yourself.

Now you're just being rude and I and others are telling you that you're almost certainly wrong. I'm not particularly surprised that a teen today wouldn't have heard of IBM. (It's a large, but one of many, enterprise computing suppliers. I assume they haven't heard of VMware or Oracle either.) I actually would be surprised if a typical child of the Space Age in 1970 wouldn't have heard of it given that IBM pretty much was COMPUTER in the public mind.

I'm pretty sure I would have known most of the largest US companies as a teen, including IBM, because of their cultural ubiquity, not because I had a PC (which didn't exist).

That’s a very broadly generalization. I have a vegan ideology and I understand the culture behind food. But I also know that culture is constantly changing. We are also very aware of ecological impacts of agriculture (may not be the “true” ecological impact as I’m not sure if there are any long term studies on that). What I know is there might be some communities/ countries that can’t move away from animal based protein yet, but for a lot of people living in industrialized countries like USA/UK, eating animal bodies/products is not a necessity for survival (or a healthy life).
Ah, I misread your comment. My apologies.

Yeah, perhaps this does make neovim more a monolith, as there are already great plugins like coc.nvim that can be used. However, I believe the expectations of a modern text editor have been raised sufficiently in the last few years that we now expect to have code intelligence baked in, just like we came to expect baked-in syntax highlighting decades ago over editors that lacked it back then.
Oh, just realized I misread the original comment. I ignored the “, so I thought they were saying you could just use 0p (on my phone, otherwise would’ve tested it in vim).

I use registers often but I admit I haven’t memorized the meaning of the auto-populated ones like 0.
Best spinning hard drives though, especially after they acquired HGST.
> The single most impactful thing people can do to improve their intelligence is to learn how to soothe the shame and anxiety that comes from confronting the possibility that the world is not how you see it and experience it.

This includes learning from criticism even when it doesn't come in a neatly packaged easy to digest form. Dismissing feedback just because it wasn't what you wanted to hear is the best way to never learn uncomfortable truths, and the more you do it the harder going back and fixing it gets.
Maybe. Real Estate investments tend to not use those companies because even though they should be good, many of them are bad. Not all, but be very careful to get a good one.
I think if you have a cabin and own a generator with enough fuel around you should be able to vanish from a lot of eyes. Not the government eyes but most of the private companies won't know where you are if you can get a foreign bank account to receive payment and you only use cash (converted offshore).

But still, I don't know how I can live without Internet. Is there any affordable satelliete Internet service? How about Starlink?

There were several solutions presented earlier (do not use a human name, make every owner choose a name) that are possible right now and do not cause any of the issues a current choice has.

This was a proposal for where we should be going if we care about the even terser communication (which was the argument being made), and where ultimately, voice assistants are surely going (otherwise, if we do not develop speaker-recognition ["there are two persons talking, look for extra hints that message is aimed for me"] and tone recognition, home-integrated ones will soon be unlocking doors for thiefs who can shout "Alexa, unlock doors" or "open windows" loud enough, or, you know, using a loudspeaker).
The institution of slavery didn't exist until they came to the New World. The medieval practice of serfdom was pretty brutal, but serfs were at least considered human.

Slavery was introduced in the New World and not in Europe, because that's where the non-Europeans were. When the native Americans proved poor slaves (among other things, dying in droves from disease and being better able to escape due to knowing the area), they imported slaves from Africa.

The Africans had been practicing slavery all along, but the Europeans had considered it barbaric until then. They still didn't tolerate it within Europe, but only safely out of sight in the New World. The institution of slavery only came into existence after colonizing places inhabited by people of other races.
In contrast with most of the comments, I strongly support this change. Social media has been a tool for radicalization, and this is a potential solution worth trying. Will simply informing people that they're drifting beyond the Overton window could put a damper on the radicalization? I don't know, but I certainly hope so.
I’m not sure where the “trash” comment comes from but you can check for yourself the engineer:manager ratio: https://about.gitlab.com/company/team/org-chart/.

They were fast compared to contemporary machines (minicomputers like the PDP-10). What happened was. powerful micros came out and the technology in those and in Lisp compilers for those machines eventually surpassed the LispM architecture in speed. Complacency and mismanagement at companies like Symbolics meant the LispM architecture never caught up, even when it moved to a microprocessor architecture in the 80s.
From the announcement:

"Bans high out-of-network cost-sharing for emergency and non-emergency services. Patient cost-sharing, such as co-insurance or a deductible, cannot be higher than if such services were provided by an in-network doctor, and any coinsurance or deductible must be based on in-network provider rates."

This to me seems to just completely eliminate the difference between in-network and out-of-network billing. What am I missing?

If you click through some of the prompts to "get support," Facebook subjects you to some hilariously bad political theory:

Violent groups can be very persuasive. They often use feelings of fear, anger, and disappointment to further their cause and get others to join them. They may use arguments based on these feelings to convince you that violence is the solution, even when facts prove it is not.

...

- Extremist groups may say violence is a legitimate and effective way to achieve change, but there is no evidence it works. In fact, violence often makes things a lot worse and doesn't lead to the outcomes the group wants.

- Did you know that researchers have shown that peaceful movements are more successful than violent ones at bringing about social change?

> Despite my dislike of left-wing insurrections, like seattle's chop, in which they actually did install a government [1] for a few days before American forces reclaimed it, it would be absolute hyperbole to believe that it was in any way an actual threat to American sovereignty.

Right, it was a (trivial, both in scale and plausible durability) threat to territorial integrity, not sovereignty or Constitutional order.

Unlike Jan. 6, which sought to enforce the President's stated desire to overturn his electoral defeat, a desire in which the insurrectionists were joined by a substantial number of lawmakers, and sought to coerce or remove key opponents (most critically the Vice President acting as President of the Senate, under a theory that electoral votes could be arbitrarily discarded by whoever was serving in that position, which the President and his allies endorsed and advocated but the VP had publicly rejected.)
"Intention" is what the final fraction of a bit gap in predictive performance feels like from the inside of your head.

It has all the low-order correlations learned well, but there are long-range correlations still lacking. (Think of a detective novel where the clues are hidden thousands of words apart, in very slight tweaks to wording like an object being 'red' rather than 'blue'.) As models descend towards the optimal prediction, 'intention' suddenly snaps into place. You can feel the difference in music between something like a char-RNN and a GPT-2 model: it now sounds like it's "going somewhere". (When I generate Irish music with char-RNN, it definitely feels 'intention-less', but when I generate with GPT-2-1.5b, for some pieces, suddenly it feels like there's an actual coherent musical piece which builds, develops a melody and theme, and closes 'as if' it were deliberately composed. Similarly for comparing GPT-2 stories to GPT-3. GPT-2 stories or poems typically meander; GPT-3 ones often meander too but sometimes they come to an ending that feels as if planned and intended.)

Once this final gap is closed, it will just feel real. Like if you look at No Alias GAN (~StyleGAN4) faces, there's no 'lack of intention' to the faces. They just look real.
Sorry they exposed corruption in your favorite political party. But would you not think of the Panama Papers as substantial?
How many times do people need to be burned by closed-source, cloud boxes before they learn to stop buying them?

Western Digital deserves their fair share of blame here as always but honestly the pattern of failure and consequences here is pretty well established by now.

Rolling your own remote access solution(SSH/VPN+ strict FW rules) that can be used in conjunction with your own DIY raspberry pi network share(SMB+external drive USB or docked HDD) service is just really well documented in so many articles and is very maintenance free once you cronjob the updates.

It is time to own your digital destiny people. The stakes have always been high enough to justify the time and effort. Just do it!
