Pretty sure it won't. I bet it's going to use a self-made system upgrade facility and not rely directly on pacman either.

pacman is great for its intended use-cases, but it's not a package manager you want to use with no supervision of an experienced user. It may even silently leave a package in broken state just because the rootfs went full during the upgrade.

And at the very least, pretty sure they're not going to use actual Arch system repos but roll their own.
It is a slightly ill-formed sentence already (should be "no name") but it is definitely ill-formed if you replace "No Name" with "Sam Beckett" or somebody else's name.

If you replaced "sentence" with "fraternity" or some other collection of people that repairs it.
Inspired by this thread I just did this, except not with the wildcard.

I have a droplet at Digital Ocean, so I used their DNS service. I configured some CNAME records for the local services, pointing to the internal names[1]. I then configured my PiHole with a local DNS CNAME record, pointing service.local.example.com to service.localdomain.

Since my PiHole is not the DHCP server, I had to add a local DNS record for service.localdomain which matched the static IP that my router gives out. It seems the conditional forwarding done by PiHole happens earlier in the resolution process.

I could then configure my services to use the DNS challenge for service.local.example.com, using the DO plugin for certbot[2] or just acme.sh[3], depending on what was available.

I didn't get it to work immediately on Android devices, until I discovered that Android only uses IPv6 DNS servers if it has an IPv6 address, and I hadn't configured that in my router. So added the static ULA address of the PiHole lease to the DHCPv6 DNS server announcement[4].

Was a bit of fiddling since I'm a networking nub, but went smoother than I had feared.

Not sure how to best distribute certificates though, if I had found a way I could let the router do all the renewals.

I agree. For example, most of Rust libraries uses the drop handler (something like desctructors) to close a file descriptor.
However it has problems since in async model closing is also async and it may return an error.
So in tokio-uring explicit async close will be provided.
https://github.com/tokio-rs/tokio-uring/pull/1/files#diff-3d...

And you can call close like:
file.close().await.unwrap();

Hi Benjamin, I'm the writer of the modular learning article and would be happy to speak to you (for free of course) and exchange ideas or answer questions as best I can. Please feel free to contact me at manisha[at]modulo.app I also tried to write a short piece about getting started with a modular learning approach based on how I've observed most parents do it successfully. My email is manisha[at]modulo.app if I can be of help.

It seems possible that the sort of broken brains who send (and possess in the first place) such material are more likely to use the Facebook platform than they are to use competing social network platforms.

Oh also, I'd love to hear what details would be most helpful to you. I'd really like to flesh this out more.
Even if they have to show medical records this can be arranged to go through a 3rd party organization that validates the request without sharing details with the company. This type of stuff already exists for medical claims.
In the UK there's the Competition and Markets Authority[1].

I think it's still worth it to file reports or complaints with the US federal government's antitrust divisions for a few reasons:

- Multiple bodies of government have been gearing up to take on this issue and issues like it, and any evidence of anticompetitive behavior can be used in investigations, legislation and enforcement of antitrust laws.

- While Google is an international company, it's based in the US and if regulators enforce existing antitrust laws in the US, it's more likely that policy will affect how Google does business internationally versus just in the UK.

- There are antitrust laws that US-based companies must follow internationally[2], and the FTC is generally the body that enforces those laws.

And yet Apple Inc had been more than fine after more than a year of full remote work. Their stock price and profits are at record highs, despite being in the middle of a global recession. Clearly nosy spouses peeking into the home office do not pose an existential risk to the company.
>Private offices with public congregating areas and meeting rooms are strictly better than open offices, in my opinion. Even cube farms are an improvement over the bullpen open plan, if a company can't afford enough real estate to give everyone their own office.

I can't agree with this enough. Private cubes and offices always felt like I was given the respect I was entitled. You understand that when I clock in and clock out, I am working. I am converting man hours into the task you need done. I am not screwing around doing nothing all day. Managers whom I've had that didn't like those ideas and wanted you in open office environments tended to be power oriented or had nothing else better to do with their time but to spy on employees.
I thought apple had its own internal communications tooling, are all teams at apple using slack?
He lists performers. Not all work is performance, where you need observers to spot form and mistake. Performers' challenges and goals are different from craftsmen, who have tools and output they can compare and measure.
I am still not convinced that the F35 won't turn out to be the 21st century version of the Brewster Buffalo.
I want Biden to use brute force to make homes a commodity like they were 50 years ago or prior.

Create a bunch of jobs to just compete directly with the private sector and plummet home building costs into the ground. Work with some great designers across the nation and create a renaissance of home design. Dirt cheap 1500 sq. ft homes. None of this 300k nonsense. Cut it directly in half or more.

Take undeveloped land by eminent domain unless the owners can document that they’re going to do something with it, and just build a shit ton of homes WWII style, and allocate unfathomable amounts of taxpayer funds from existing appropriation categories into that instead.

I want a home for under $150,000. I want REITs outlawed from buying them. And I want investors national and foreign prohibited from purchasing them. I want a new golden age of home ownership to combat the slow march to neo-feudalism.

Won’t ever happen, but I’ll dream.
Is it not? It’s operated the last 18 months as a remote company. The number of Apple leaks don’t seem any different than any other year.

Yes, if you’re working on next gen hardware I can see how that could be challenging. But what about the 2000 employees they have that do App review? (This number was revealed in their ongoing court case with epic) I would wager the majority of jobs at Apple don’t involve things that require physical isolated access
Two shoulder, four back buttons.
Interesting. In two ways, you brought the discussion back to the Christian god instead of coming onto the "we both don't believe in those gods" playing field.

I appreciate the civil discussion nevertheless and there's the second interesting point.

You never actually say it directly but between the lines I read that you think to have at least an inkling of a pattern that confirms the direct interference of the Christian god in this world. I don't know why that would be relevant to be honest.

In any case, I would bet that the same could be said of people in ancient times for their gods (or even right now people that have different religions might for their god(s)). They probably thought to see patterns as well and attributed them to the gods. Without thinking about any specific religion: if they made a specific sacrifice every year at a specific time to gain favourable weather for example, they probably had a pretty good chance of success by pure luck and pattern observation and any unlucky weather anomalies could easily be attributed to mistakes with making the sacrifice (maybe it was the wrong goat or whatever) for example.
Production case study: ChromeOS is based on Gentoo.

I've also known a couple shops that run Gentoo as their distribution. Usually a central binary package host / build machine which makes it very easy to have a set of staging hosts. Just test package releases like normal before migrating them to prod.
Ah sorry that's my bad on the wrong assumption.
There was a time when I cared a lot about small publishers' abilities to monetize their cool free site. Those sites are all gone, and never made enough money to break even anyway. I say screw it, drive the ad industry into the dust.
Pre-pandemic they were told the only way to be a productive well oiled org with apple's values was to be in the same place together...and then for almost a year and a half...Wanting a new deal doesn't seem anywhere near as flippant as your comment makes it out to be.
I get those emails. It's too bad the reply-to email address never works. I've tried a couple of times to let them know that it'd be hilarious if they shared my porn watching habits with my friends and family and that to explain that I'd like a copy of any of the videos they supposedly took of me.

I don't present myself as something other than what I am. So, they can't really blackmail me. Life's easier when I don't do anything I'm ashamed of.
Are you upset about movie trailers? I'll be honest I haven't been to the theatres in quite a while so I don't know if they actually show ads now but back when I was younger all "ads" before a move were just trailers for upcoming films which I loved because it let me stay current with what was coming out in the future. I don't mind that at all considering I'm not spending a lot of time at home Googling upcoming movies
The real story here is why are execs and managers desperate to get back in offices. And the answer is that remote has exposed how useless they are. Worse than useless in fact. While before they were more able to Harrison Bergeron their productive employees with useless face time meetings, remote has increased the value gap. So they desperately need to bring these employees down to Earth, before they start getting ideas.
Damn, this is a good one. I wish I'd thought of it. Not sure if anybody smart has officially defined "ragestyle" as a term for products where the primary selling point is fury, but I think this category is going to be huge, and if I were more entrepreneurial—and inclined towards grifting—I'd be taking advantage of it.

Because all one has to do, apparently, is smack a flag on an app/gadget, stock it up with right-wing shovelware, and proclaim it as a stand against left-wing repression. No worries about being exposed by the failing fake-news tech writers—they're only whining about "foreign malware" and "security holes" because they hate anything that's unapologetically conservative.

Too bad this wasn't a standard desktop/laptop computer. Erik could have called it the "UnPC" and he'd have likely won multi-million-dollar contracts from several state governments.
A duopoly can be a distinction without a difference if there's territory-dividing collusion, or even just game-theoretically "optimal" moves by the players towards a sub-optimal state for the customers.
Again, it's entirely possible to have big businesses without having billionaires. I just don't see why you are set on tying the two concepts together. You seem to think there would be no industry if there were no potential at having more money than you could spend in 1000 lifetimes.

I'm sorry, but we're going to have to agree to disagree there, because I'm just not buying that.

> The US is a first world economy and a first world military.

Depends on who you ask. There's a meme going around right now of a split screen "billionaire space race" with a chyron reading "Millions of Americans facing eviction". Tie that to the story today "Full-time minimum wage workers can't afford rent anywhere in the US" and I really have to wonder what "first world economy" really means. I mean, just today the US government started issuing checks to families with children in order to reduce child poverty... how is that even a thing in a first world economy where billionaires are racing to space? Seems broken to me.
Cheaters in online games can ruin the game, and drive the playerbase away. It's a really big issue, and ultimately impacts the game developer's ability to continually sell the game to new players.
I’ve yet to find the perfect language but that doesn’t mean I’m satisfied with the imperfections that exist in the ones I use. It’s perfectly reasonable to not use a language for lack of operator overloading. I personally avoid languages developed with contempt for functional programming and type systems. We all have our reasons.
Wikipedia is terrible currently.
You can always refuse the NJP and demand a court martial. In most cases, it's an extremely bad idea. As you go up the chain, more severe punishment can be applied.

Hello Everyone. After eight months of development I have completed a game designed for practicing a calm and peaceful state of mind. It is a 2D pixel art farming, fishing and mining game but it also explores ideas about choosing to remain peaceful.

In the game it is possible to sit down with a couple of the villagers, talk with them and have cups of tea. The discussion talks about how we can choose what we think and feel but also how it is important to look after ourselves and help others. Information about Stoicism and Buddhism is presented if the player chooses these options. There are also options about how information is presented if the player believes in God or not.

There is a demo that can be played for free and it is the entire game except that it is not possible to save, load or play multiplayer.

Thank you for the opportunity to share what I have made. Thanks.
As someone who used Gentoo for over a decade, including in production environments - I disagree.

Its a falsehood pushed by old 80's thinking. It sounds nice, in theory.

In practice, what you often get are bugfix patches blindly applied to older codebases, oftentimes by people (distro maintainers) who are not very familiar with the codebase. As long as the patch applies, and it passes various tests.

Remember, most OSS projects - including some critical ones - do not have large teams of devs able to maintain multiple codelines in tandem. Usually, the dev(s) just work on the latest, and pay only cursory attention to applying security bugfixes to older versions.

After all, how is an OSS dev for proj X meant to know (or even give a damn for) which distro arbitrarily decided which older version is somehow the SECURE and BLESSED one.

The dev in question probably moved on from that version months (and in regard to Debian, probably YEARS) ago.

So in theory, what you said sounds right. In practice, no.

I am an assertive person. Believe me when I say it is not a virtue. It doesn't earn you much in practice.
Pretty much this. That and "No one else here knows Lisp. How are you going to collaborate on it? We do software development as a team effort, and you should be pairing/mobbing on everything you write."
it depends a lot of the culture (i don’t think there is a one size fits all). i am spending more time shooting the sh*t with my team mates since the pandemic started. it’s a mix of slack async + “face to face” meetings. we have a social hour each week + a google hangout that stays open 24/7 for people to chat if they feel like it (most of the time nobody is there but i’ve seen 2-3 people “accumulate” at time and 50/50 is not work related)
Very cool. Love the tool! Is there an option to invest the savings? It seems like the savings just accumulate as cash?
This seems to be a lot of excuse making. If you dig deep enough you can find that SF - despite the growth and huge tax revenues - has failed to effectively deliver even simple government services like policing and keeping the community clean. And in terms of addressing the challenges of growth I’m not sure SF has done anything at all. They certainly haven’t built more housing, improved transit or anything else. And this is in a city entirely run by Democrats in a state where the Democrats have full control of all levels of Govt.

If you had given an example where a really effective policy was instituted that at least made some small aspect better I might agree but even that’s not apparent.
IANAL but having read the ToS, I think the author is failing to distinguish between "Your Content" and "Content You Uploaded".

GH's ToS don't prevent Bob uploading content Bob doesn't own. The ToS does require Bob to grant GH a licence to use any content uploaded that Bob owns. It doesn't prevent Bob uploading others' content nor does it ask Bob to grant GH licence to it.

---

If you're reading the ToS yourself, the keyword to look out for is "Your Content", which is defined in their Definitions section as such:

> “User-Generated Content” is Content, written or otherwise, created or uploaded by our Users.

> "Your Content" is Content that you create or own.

The licence grant to GH is only on "Your Content", not on "User-Generated Content" (i.e. content you upload, which may be yours or someone else's)
Would you mind to elaborate? I am genuinely wondering if you're a troll or if I am mistaken in my argument. To summarize, I responded to the claim below that Facebook's ad platform is ineffective:

> All related studies are showing that the latter isn't working anyway.

I pointed out that Facebook wouldn't be profitable if the ad platform is ineffective, and you called that argument fallacious. I am really curious to hear what's fallacious about it.
None of this addresses the reasons that I and, I think, most others prefer remote work.

I don’t want to miss watching my kids grow up because by the time I drive home they’re already in bed. I want to spend my lunch hour with my family, instead of gossiping with my coworkers about office politics. I want to raise my children in a community of my choosing, surrounded by close friends and family, instead of the SFBA, which I have no connection to and frankly hate. I don’t want to waste literal years of my life commuting, which is consistently shown to be the least happy part of people’s day.
My perspective from the Netherlands...

The way I see it, the US has two "lefts".

Traditional left/progressive values would include things like affordable healthcare, worker protection, progressive taxation, livable wages, the like. Importantly, for all.

The Democrats don't seem to deliver on any of these basics long achieved in many other western countries, therefore I agree that they are neither left nor progressive.

By comparison, not even our main right wing party (VVD) would be as conservative as the Democrats on the matters above. So locally, we would see the "left" Democrats as near far-right. That's one huge gap.

(as a weird complexity, over here "liberal" means right-wing. In the US it means left-wing. yet since US left-wing is in fact right-wing, I guess it does add up)

The second type of left in the US, I do consider truly left. It's hard to put your finger on it, but it includes identity politics, the "woke", down to even marxists.

Clearly they are on the rise, at least in media and institutes. Yet they are now in an unhappy marriage with the core of the Democrats, which as we established is right-wing. Good luck with that.

For the record, here in the Netherlands we largely reject that type of left.

So I agree with most of what you said, except for the Silicon Valley part. You're going to be super surprised how the biggest supporters of extreme left policy are in fact rich comfortable people.

I'll refer to one of the most mind blowing tweets ever produced (now deleted). A co-founder of Twitter took issue with the founder of Coinbase disallowing political discussion in the workplace, and tweeted:

"When the revolution comes, me-only capitalists like X will be the first to be put against the wall. I'll be happy to provide video narration."

The extremity and cruelty is impressive, but the truly shocking part is that the person tweeting it has a net worth of 300M.
I’d say that is the case because it was a unique year and half. If you extend out the paradigm over ten years, voila, the graph will show itself. The number of leaks will definitely show itself once you adjust the variable of time.

Time and human nature is an age old tale.
Well considering the failure of the SF BOS to effectively address any of the cities challenge yet still get re-elected time and time again (even after showing they do the same things their voters complain about) goes pretty far in backing up that claim. As long as politicians in SF say the right thing, that’s all voters seem to care about.

Some people are deeply upset that a gigantic storefront and distribution network [0] would dare take a 30% cut, despite that being well below brick and mortar rate and also pretty standard for a digital storefront.

But hey, you can instead distribute with Epic, a storefront so advanced it doesn't even have a shopping cart.

Who's gonna ban? I'm cynical but if it's the ad network, then other ad networks will not ban that behavior and in turn outcompete the one that did. If it's the government (somewhere), there's a high probability the implementation of it will either be unenforceable (slap on the wrist for players making crazy money) or poorly implemented to the point of being counterproductive (can even happen if different governments have contradictory frameworks).
Fewer independent companies increase competition? Sounds like something out of a corporate press release.
