> When you check the elapsed time, you subtract the old time from the new time. But if the new time is less than the old time, you get an overflow. Because we save time as an unsigned integer, you get a very large number that will for sure be larger than any timeout value you set, including our default 3 minutes.

If they were using unsigned arithmetic then they would've gotten the expected value. For example, 0 - 0xffffffffffffffff is 1 when using 64-bit types, just as one might expect. Unsigned (modulo) arithmetic works exactly how you'd want in a situation like this; it works until the interval exceeds the range of the type. So either they're describing things wrong, or their code wasn't doing what they thought.

Of course, in any event this wouldn't be the root of their problem--time stamp counter drift across cores. The Linux kernel has alot of code to decide whether to use the RDTSC-optimized clock_gettime vDSO implementation or fallback to a syscall. And when it does use the RDTSC method, IIRC it has code to train the time stamps to minimize any cross-core drift, and mask out any potential difference (reducing granularity). The moral of the story is to just use clock_gettime+CLOCK_MONOTONIC; at least on Linux it'll use RDTSC in most cases where that's practical.

10mbps up will upload about 30GB in 8 hours overnight while you sleep. Most people are not taking 30GB of new photos every day. Or using their Internet connection all day when they are awake either. So cloud storage is totally viable for most people with 10mbps upload speeds.

Now, a person might have a big backlog of data. This guy has 7TB of photos. If you start uploading, you’ll get caught up eventually! If you want to get caught up faster, you just need to find a faster pipe and park your computer/HDs on it for a little while. For me, it was a friend with FiOS. For many professionals, it might be their office.

The point is, once you’re through the backlog, 10mbps is probably enough to maintain. Again: for most people.

You're thinking of this from the wrong point of view. This is about evolution and dominance. A culture in which work is highly valued (even so far as at the expense of the individual) will expand and squeeze out other cultures. The same way a successful gene will reproduce and take over.

South Indian haystacks look very similar to these. In fact, in my childhood, I used to classify them as circular and squarish - these referred to the bases - with appropriately shaped tops.
Reach isn’t impressions though. If I see ten articles by Breitbart and one by CNN they’re counted equivalently. Interesting that they chose to focus on reach and not even impressions, it suggests that people who do see that sort of content see a lot of it.
Stress impact also varies per individual biological differences.

I like your approach and I agree that it should lead to better outcomes. Sadly for the less socially adept, it’s not clear to me how to get social interactions from random strangers without having both sides of the equation be uncomfortable. My experience of trying this approach just ends with two uncomfortable people and leaves me with another social misstep to haunt me at night.

Since it sounds like you want to share your experience, would you mind sharing more details of how those first encounters went and why you even decided to talk to those people in the first place? Where do you hangout that you can just casually approach and start chatting up people?
Well that escalated quickly...

I'm sure there's more, but that's just what I could quickly find.
> because it is too expensive but also because confidence has been lost. The public were promised power too cheap to meter and ended up with a mess of unknown expenses and risks.

1) Newer reactor designs are less expensive, especially small modular reactors

2) The promises you're talking about were made to the public in the 1950s, and those people are now so old they won't see the results of deciding whether to use nuclear power more or not, anyway. The people whose "confidence has been lost" are rapidly dying off of old age. Younger people have in general a more realistic view of nuclear power. It's not perfect, but it's not the boogeyman that hippies were taught to fear.

>we have to be realistic and move forward now as quickly as possible with the tools we have

Exactly! And the only carbon neutral tool that we can use that is sufficiently powerful technology to power our industries at their current level is nuclear. So, we have to move forward with it.
I don't think it's unreasonable for companies with publicly available communication platforms be required to abide by laws in the countries they make those platforms available in. If youtube decided that they would host videos in germany on an invite only basis, it would be different.

> Unless you can tell me how to somehow modify the installation of Weechat to also include this one Python package.

pkgs.weechat.override { extraBuildInputs = [ pkgs.python3Packages.pync ]; };
};

That Nix expression defines a package meaning 'just like Weechat, but with pync in the build paths'. There are examples with links to more docs on the unofficial NixOS wiki: https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Weechat

Looking at the Nixpkgs docs, you might prefer a different override expression. Several examples are provided: https://nixos.org/manual/nixpkgs/stable/#sec-weechat

I understand that this may still feel like 'making a simple thing hard', but it does, I hope, answer your question. Modifying existing packages in just a few lines of code in order to include additional dependencies is very much part of Nix's paradigm. :)

There's a way you could write all that inline to install it with nix-env, too, but I can't be arsed.

What does "national law" mean for a global platform though? Does Youtube only have to restore the video in Germany and still block it everywhere else?

I don't even understand why Youtube should be forced by a country to host someone's content. I can understand the opposite (being forced by the government to take down content in their jurisdiction, that has been done before), but forcing a site to keep a video feels really strange to me.
I love this! It's cool seeing a boots on the ground perspective of Apple in '98. I think that thing that surprises me the most in this is that in only 10 years, apple unveils the iphone. 2010 - 2020 feels like a lot less of a jump than 1998 t0 2008.

Defeating Hydra: The Growing Problem of Complexity in Web Development
> Why do you think that people become delusional or have become increasingly delusional in the last 40 to 50 years?

I don't. I think they didn't have the opportunity to eat so much food because it was more expensive and going out was socially atypical.

When my Mom is around, my Dad gains weight, but when she's away, he loses weight. Why? She's not literally force-feeding him, but when she's around there's a fully stocked fridge of delicious treats that he would not normally seek out. He/we just don't have the willpower to fight that. Here is a delicious thing -- don't eat it. So much easier not to have it in the house -- out of sight, out of mind. Same for me with COVID. When I was initially hunkered-down and buying staples I lost weight. Once I relaxed and started going on snack-runs I started gaining weight. It's the (social) environment.

Those are personal examples of how the easy availability of food and snacks makes it more likely to overeat. As the culture changes to normalize overeating, people don't realize they're overeating and start to look for reasons why everyone is gaining weight, other than the obvious.

Regarding homeostasis -- if portion sizes are increasing, everyone is overeating, and there's a culture of trying to find every factor except overeating, then you don't just eat too much one day, you eat too much every day. A rising tide bloats all floats?

I find it really strange that we mostly ignore the advice of people who seem to be able to maintain a lower body weight (eat less, exercise more). Instead we are basically bombarded with complicated information from people who have weight problems. It's like you want to find out how to do car maintenance, but you ignore the people with well-running cars, and instead listen to all the people with terribly-maintained cars.

Being overweight doesn't mean you're a bad person, although socially and emotionally the consequences are brutal. Because of these brutal consequences, I think we're biased to find any way at all that being overweight is not due to our own direct actions. Hence the search for all of these super-complicated and subtle higher-order effects.

Could be wrong, but this is where I am after decades of watching incredibly irrational behaviour in myself, my family, and my friends. I'm convinced that it would be more helpful to treat this as food addiction, given the incredible mental contortions involved.

EDIT> As another example of social factors. I seem to remember it being socially unacceptable to have one's shirt untucked in a non-athletic context in the '80s. I remember when I first started going in to work with shirt untucked. I can hide 20 pounds under there without people considering me fat. But there was a time when if you did up your belt, tucked your shirt in, and had overhang of belly over belt you were considered fat.

On the one hand it's great that we're trying to be less brutal to heavier people. In an ideal future, people wouldn't be judged by their appearances at all. But in doing this, I wonder whether we're losing sight of the reality of the causes and effects.

Local storage is always cheaper than cloud storage unless you're doing it really wrong. Fully (3-2-1) backed up local storage less so, but if you do it smart it doesn't have to cost an arm and a leg.

With small amount of batch file coding and some flags to enable file sharing and DirectX I was able to do it (for some reason, could not make it automatically start the app, but since it was for semi-automatic testing, it was okay - if I tried more, I'm sure there would've been a way).

It's not prohibitively expensive; all the large internet/cloud companies upgrade machines and drives on a ~3 year schedule and mostly keep the data online. Storage Moore's Law means that every upgrade let's you put the old data onto fewer new drives. Storage Moore's Law is slowing, but still makes this the most affordable option when taking durability into account.

Offline storage is dangerous. Readers go obsolete. Media degrades. Data sets go missing.
Protocols and storage formats become obsolete. Migrating data from one online storage to another while upgrading hardware solves a lot of these issues, the only exception being storage format for straight file copies between systems.
Good question. Commissioner Cho who created all of this is a good friend of mine, and I asked him this exact question - as you'd expect, the state cannot preempt the federal government in homeland security issues. so, it doesn't.

the controller in the enclosure is maybe overheating and either switching into a failsafe mode or a failure mode until it cools down again.

sustained data transfers crush those little controllers, so spend more on a better enclosure, actively cool the one you have, or just connect the bare hard drive directly to your PC if that is an option.

I've had 2 USB-3 to mSATA enclosures fail permanently after 5 minutes of sustained data transfers.

He mentions that they use some types of drugs that close/open ion channels to cause the growth patterns to change. I just googled and found that the human inner ear alone has 300 types of ion channels. Is this technique just a matter of finding the combination of open/closed channels to get the desired effect? If so, the inner ear has a possible 2^300 combinations of open/closed doesn't it? This seems extremely difficult to do on anything that complicated. Or am I reading this wrong?
