I haven't tried in about 6 months but I had issues with reusing that same dGPU if I wanted to use it for Linux gaming when the VM is offline. I thought it would be easy to bind and unbind it as needed but had issues with doing so. Is this a possible/recommended setup, is there another alternative or I shouldn't bother trying?

I particularly find skipping to the graphics page and looking for maps useful for answering peoples geography related questions.

One thing to keep in mind is that report was overall meant to illustrate the difference between a 1.5 and a 2C outcome, but at this point 1.5C is toast and 2C would be an optimistic outcome so you can just skip to the 2C graphs for your estimating purposes.
Perl 6 isn't really a thing anymore.

Python3 requires some code changes, but on the whole is the same language.

Perl 6 was intended to be an upgrade from 5, but over time developed into a completely new language that shared stylistic similarities to Perl 5. Perl 6 can't be compatible with Perl 5 to any large extent because XS isn't a thing anymore, so any modules that had binary parts to them can't be easily ported.

These days Perl 6 got renamed to "Raku", to signify that it's its own, independent language.

The Perl 5 line continues to exist and apparently plans for the next major version to be Perl 7.
I'm running Netguard (app) as a firewall on them, set to block all traffic and then allow traffic only for solid apps where I need/want traffic to happen. Works like a charm, can even log in pcap format to analyze traffic.

You mean like the entity which invents/designs/defines the concepts of "substrate", "possibility","necessity" and "existence" ?

The entity which measures and then captures regularities in "the substrate" in the forms of Mathematical equations (formal languages) - that which we call "laws of physics"? Even though physicists haven't yet solved the measurement problem.

The entity that is trying to understand what it is made of and how it works? The entity that is trying to define itself?

The function is running, alright and it's trying to reverse-engineer its runtime. The question is whether the function is recursive.

Most functions refer to themselves as "I".

It was originally a one off $4 for iOS, $4 for Android, and $10 for the web service + electron apps.

Following acquisition by NPR et al, they announced that the base mobile apps would go free, and the web apps would be part of a $10/yr Pocket casts plus subscription, along with some extra functionality.

Following some backlash, they gave web-app buyers a lifetime Pocket Casts Plus subscription.

You could never actually buy the lifetime PocketCasts Plus membership.
I use a vfio setup as well but with two GPUs (one integrated, one dedicated) and hotswap the dedicated GPU between the two whenever I’m playing games (I play on both Linux and Windows).
Making Rust Float Parsing Fast: Libcore Edition
I'm an engineering software contractor and every client has a whole bucket load of outdated IDEs and random USB interface drivers they want me to install on my machine. Often this stuff has weird specific version dependencies, kernel level drivers that cause weird things to happen (like the computer to BSOD if you boot it up with other USB devices attached), random system level crashes, and when you go to the driver download page there are always an unsettling list of simple security vulns noted.

The #1 thing that I've ever wanted is a Linux that lives between the bootloader and Windows that lets me achieve native performance on the Windows VM, but gives me an environment where I can easily do all the things that you can usually do in HyperV like create snapshots, clone installs, share Sharepoint drives between images, etc. But I do need something that is perfectly stable and just works. This is the right technology (thank you so much for working on it), but just not yet at a maturity that makes me feel comfortable about putting livelihood on the line.

Edit: actually, please, if anyone knows something that suits this use-case, even if it costs decent money, please leave a comment.
Isn't that like saying reality ruins all good ideas. :)
"Eternalism" refers to the static "block universe" conception of spacetime, where all events exist simultaneously, past, present and future. "Presentists", by contrast, hold that the past no longer exists, the future does not yet exist and only the present moment exists. Neither are positions about whether there is/was a first moment of time.

I just finished reading the physicist Sean Carroll's book "From Eternity to Here", which is mostly about the thermodynamic arrow of time and big bang cosmology. He briefly discusses presentism and eternalism, before writing:

"Concerning the debate between eternalism and presentism, a typical physicist would say: 'who cares?'"

To be fair to Feser, I don't think he's commenting on the attitudes of contemporary physicists, but on a particular presentation of physics and logic. I doubt any working physicist cares one jot about this presentation, or formal predicate logic in general. Philosophers may well care, and Feser might just be noticing that his colleagues take formal logic far more seriously than it deserves.
Ask HN: How to get the safe retry exponential and jitter values? [Microservices]
We have a webpage that queries a list of items from an API gateway which in turn calls an API that calls another API. The operation is independent.

Webpage -> API Gateway -> API 1 -> API 2 -> DB

How should we implement retries?

We could add the retry mechanism somewhere in the back-end (API Gateway, API 1, or API 2) and I'm aware that it should implement exponential back-off and jittering but:

- how do I determine the correct exponential and jittering values? (500ms, 1s, etc)?

- If the retry mechanism takes too long, the user will get bored and refresh the webpage which could have a negative impact. How should we handle this? Should we not implement retries in the back-end at all? Or should we just make sure that the retry mechanism doesn't take too long? In your experience, how long is too long for the user?

Thanks
In the Steam Deck announcement this week Valve mentioned they were going to work with vendors to get anti-cheat finally working, so fingers crossed.

might be tempting to get one but hear me out: you can't imagine the amount of bloat and adware on miui. it depends on your region because they don't legally get away with the same intrusion everywhere. I configured it in a GDPR country (which disables some features) and when I checked the DNS requests, it made a tracking/ad request several times per minute.

Also the pre installed apps like file manager and browser have ads. The browser, which additionally has a bunch of bloaty games integrated for whatever reason, can't be uninstalled. Not going to get one again, my mate's pixel seems like a delight in comparison
I wasn't making "my point". I just knew your comment about 30-40 days and the random mentioning of concentration camp victims was absurd, and it clearly is according to official clinical guidelines. So no, I won't "just check online".

The relentless doom saying gives the impression that there are some studies or research or science out there that can accurately make predictions of the sort you are interested in, but as far as I know that’s not the case. I’m not aware of any system with a track record of predicting climates that far out.

A volcano could erupt tomorrow and create much cooler climates around the world.

Al Gore’s movie from the early 2000s said Florida would be underwater by now. What’s the actual sea level rise in the intervening period been? A cm or 2, if that?
Huawei is perceived as a problem because they are big in infrastructure.

Xiaomi does smartphones that run on Qualcomm chips and Android. Of course there are always games and tit-for-tat but on the face of it Xiaomi is rather innocuous and benefits US companies (and that's probably why it was removed from the US blacklist).

Wouldn't the hardware vendor of the device be able to bypass that?
Not likely, though Xiaomi is a bit bigger now, it is not really posing noticeable technical superiority that Huawei was regarded.
> Instead it drops to a recovery console, BUT if you use a distro without a 'root' password, it can't drop into the recovery console and you're screwed.

That's indeed an unfortunate situation. systemd allows you to set the SYSTEMD_SULOGIN_FORCE environment variable for the rescue.service to override this behaviour and always give you a rootshell. It's an open bug for the Debian installer to set that variable by default if installing without a root password (#952450).

Amazing. Without dual boot, windows in VM can run at almost native performance? wow.

> People want to make as big a pile of money as possible, as quickly as they can, with the idea that the pile will be big enough to allow them (and just them) to be secure for the rest of their (and just their) lives.

In a society as cut-throat capitalist as the US, yes. In "welfare states" such as Europe, where everyone has their basic needs in life (housing, healthcare and food) at least somewhat met, this desire is far less pronounced.
Also, the parent is probably talking about EU intent to apply carbon tax to mass market airlines but exempt the private jets
To some parts this is a matter of education. It's been studied that few years of economic school makes people more greedy and selfish so I'm tempted to think that it'd also work the other way. And what is the capitalist society for people living in it if not a school of economics.

>AirPrint doesn’t require a driver because it says that part is always the same, you just send a pdf to the printer and it turns it into a bitmap and puts it on paper.

That's not quite how it works. AirPrint supports PDF, JPEG and a raster format (URF). The raster format is the only one that is required on the printer. Most of the cheap devices don't have the resources to render a PDF on the printer.

>And they can do that just fine outside of the normal printing infrastructure.

Not right now they can't, there are a lot of these sorts of applications that are relying on the existing system.

Even selecting a paper size in Word ends up with a query to the driver of the printer.
There are two types of YouTube ads, right. The pop-up (pop-over) and the "pre-roll" (today, periodic roll). IOW, the ads are either opening in their own little window or they are themselves video files. Does DOM/content manipulation mean certain .js is not run. For example, requests for that .js is external and are not made.

When I am testing people's claims that YouTube ads cannot be "blocked" except with uBlock, I am using the same graphical browser that most people use. I do not believe these claims. I can prove there are other ways to retrieve videos without retrieving ads.

When I am not disproving those claims, I use the commandline (netcat + TLS proxy + ftp) to download video. This is the fastest and easiest way to use YouTube for me. It is extremely simple. No python required. Just some simple URL decoding and a little grep. I see no reason to use the graphical browser to download video. Thats overkill. Thats why people end up seeing ads, IMO. I may use the browser for playing media files offline but not for making HTTP requests.

> it is seen as a deep flaw over here and it can haunt you for a long time

When a company goes bankrupt it can bring down with it smaller providers and self employed workers. If you only lose venture capital, that is not so bad as it is part of the risk/reward. Why anyone would like to do business with an entrepreneur that uses bankruptcy to move on? I guess that in-advance payments could be a solution.

Bankruptcy is a last resort mechanism. It makes sense to let people move on when, without bad intention, they just failed a business. To make mistakes is human. But to abuse the privilege betting in high risk business and letting others pay for it seems immoral and not long-term sustainable for the economy.
It's not encroaching on fstab, it's using it as input during boot, because mounting is intimately coupled with service ordering. Think about services that reside on a network filesystem: the network has to be up to mount the filesystem, but the network in turn can require arbitrary services to run, which can require other local filesystems to be mounted. You can't get configurations like these to work without coupling mounting and service ordering.

It's fundamentally not that different from sysvinit, with its various init scripts that mounted filesystems according to the fstab.
WSL2 is using a real Linux kernel with almost no limitations.
But it doesn't pass through the GPU. Therefore graphical applications are relatively slow.

Oregon Trail, Lemonade Stand, and Where in the World is Carmen San Diego were basically my holy trinity of educational games. The other educational game I remember, which was probably far more important than the three of these put together was some random typing game. I had a keyboarding speed of around 80wpm before I hit high school from playing that one.

You can ask an AI and get some amazing stories out as a result (I've tried and it works). That also seems like a fairly Solarpunk solution to the problem.

It depends on your internal GPU. If it's an Intel GPU, you could use vfio-mdev, which allows you to split your physical GPU into smaller counterparts. It will only work with the macOS version that are compatible with Intel GPUs (probably most of them).

Have a look here for a guide on Archlinux : https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Intel_GVT-g. And here for a script to deploy macOS on KVM : https://github.com/kholia/OSX-KVM.

Side-note : vfio-mdev can now be unlocked on consumer-grades Nvidia cards too : https://github.com/DualCoder/vgpu_unlock. Sadly, it is not possible for AMD-cards.

By the way, I am working on Phyllome OS (https://phyllo.me/), which is an attempt to make it easier to do such things. But please don't tell anyone :)
I work in educational software, in Minnesota, and have actually worked with a number of former MECC employees over the years. They have some fascinating stories. It's a small world. Currently our head of DevOPs actually worked on Oregon Trail, though a later version.

I've been using Redmi (a sub-brand of Xiaomi, using same MIUI Android variant) Note 2,4,6,8, now 10, and I will buy 12 when it arrives too. I also use their power banks, fitness trackers, and even toothbrushes from Mijia sub-brand.

Their prices are very difficult to beat. Their software is not as polished as say, Pixel devices or Apple devices, but for a third of the cost, that's an acceptable compromise for me.

They are very aggressive at rolling out new phones, though. There is a Redmi Note device every 6-8 months, and a comparable Mi Lite device released a month or two later too. They are pretty similar with Poco specs as well.

Their strategy is to release more and more phones and make the users think their device hit the sweet-spot. For example, my Redmi Note 10 has an IR blaster and a 3.5mm headphone jack. Another line of devices might reuse the same SoC and physical aspects, but not include an IR blaster and a 3.5mm jack. Redmi Note series also has a bunch of variants, some with NFC, some without, and some with 5G.
It's interesting, because coming from a country that's been targeted by US interventionism in the past, I'm pretty ok with Xiaomi spying on me, not so much when it comes to Google.

Huawei designing their own chipsets seems to be the big thing.

Very rarely, physists DO care about logic.

From a quick look, yes they would and the NetGuard FAQ on GitHub explicitly acknowledges that: https://github.com/M66B/NetGuard/blob/master/FAQ.md#user-con...

That doesn't mean this is a worthless thing to run. Unless you are being specifically targeted, security measures that simply put you outside the main herd can still be effective.
Xiaomi doesn't provide the kind of network infrastructure that Huawei does. So they don't have access to the kind of data that concerned us policymakers.
Good example why programming and logic are related, but not the same.

There are plenty of issues with inexperienced people walking up Ben Nevis even from the visitors centre. Mostly tourists who don’t realise that it’s quite a hike and set off unprepared.

The main path at the base is well trodden and easy to follow, leading people into a false sense of security, but towards the top it becomes difficult, particularly as the summit is snow covered much of the year. For the last segment to the summit you have to walk a dog leg to the south to avoid several steep gullies to the north. These gullies are often filled in with snow and otherwise invisible. Walkers trying to walk in a straight line for the summit can easily stray too close and come to grief. Particularly if they are following a poorly designed sat-nav route and have no actual map and compass navigation experience.

A bit about the navigation at the summit: http://www.ben-nevis.com/navigation/navigation.php
As a tinkerer I would love to run HaikuOS for the fun of it. BeOS gives a really enjoyable user experience and the things we can achieve make them more than good enough for me.

This is not a workload os, or a workspace os, its a having fun os.
BeOS was a good desktop, and Haiku reproduces it well, providing a high quality desktop experience.

Meantime, the usual Linux desktops continue to fail at even the basics, such as low quality file dialogs that e.g. change your selection after you've already clicked.

Other than that, BeOS system kits are elegant, so are its APIs for drivers and filesystems. Linux does instead have a huge, ugly, syscall interface.

It just takes enough perspective to not see UNIX and its clones as the "end it all" of what an operating system should be, and then you'd realize it's actually pretty hard to come up with anything that Linux does better.
