So your argument is that anyone concerned about the planet should kill themselves, as that will do the most to directly minimize their climate impact?

It seems obvious to me that climate activists can use leverage, like anyone else. In other words it's perfectly reasonable to produce a small amount of carbon in pursuit of making the sweeping changes necessary. Climate change isn't going to be solved by parts of the population choosing to fly a little less often.
I would draw a further distinction. Some franchise operations (thinking Subway and Little Caesars) don’t really care if you make it: They get their money up front and you have to pay to get out.

McD is more strategic: They want a good business plan, location, etc. and are very picky at the cost of some false negatives.
I haven't used Puppeteer in a while, mostly because it's obsolete now that Playwright exists, but for Playwright you can do the exact same thing from the Playwright CLI, without having to install some browser extension. The main command is "playwright codegen". More info here: https://playwright.dev/dotnet/docs/cli
You're saying it was normal (and is even today) to show HTML files over ftp links? I've never seen a browser do HTML over ftp, and while I am a youngster compared to HTTP (I stared to do web stuff in the early 2000's) the sites where I've seen that had both HTTP and FTP modes the ftp mode only downloaded the file, it did not show it.

> More broadly, this is a tradeoff between the traditional vision of the WWW as a vast library, in which human knowledge accumulates over time and becomes accessible to all, and the strip-mall vision of the WWW as a means to sell people things they don't need.

I don't get this at all.

* Are you saying FTP is a fundamentally better protocol to download files than HTTP?

* Are you saying that it would be easier to run a FTP server than a HTTP server?

* Do you think that FTP-only-sites generally depend on HTML-over-FTP for browsing? Because that's something I've never seen AFAIK, either they use HTTP-only or HTML-over-HTTP for browsing and FTP for download.

I get the "strip-mall vision of the WWW as a means to sell people things they don't need" complaint, but that does not seem related to the protocol discussion of HTTP and FTP at all.
This thread is blowing my mind, although not for the obvious reason.

I’m just astounded by all the anecdotes people are mentioning here that suggest meditation, mindfulness, etc. actually work, even the secularized, distorted, popularized versions we get here in the West.

Previously I just assumed this was all a bunch of wackadoo woo-woo bullshit designed to separate dissatisfied California yuppies from their money.

The fact that it could be dangerous and mentally destabilizing, and lead to such dramatic changes in personality and outlook as described in the linked articles and reinforced by replies here, is obviously reason for caution - but it also signifies strong evidence that this a very powerful and effective practice. I’m much more interested in learning about meditation than before reading the article.

Wrong.

I wanted to learn about Fuse and SQLite in Golang, so I built a filesystem that was entirely stored in SQLite. It's incomplete (read-only for directories at the moment, among other nits), but was surprisingly easy and performed with decent performance on some tests I did; Nearly half throughput of a raw filesystem.

Didnt Chrome remove ftp first. Is Firefox just following suit. Need to check.

Mozilla's explanation/justification here for removing ftp is quite flimsy. It presumes there could never, ever be any possible situation in which a user wants to use a browser for ftp. Whether now or in the future. It just does not add up. There are no specific references to ftp-based exploits, or other examples of how ftp is harmful. Who uses ftp for transfers of unencrypted files containing sensitive data over the open internet. ftp can be useful for stuff that is not sensitive and for transfers over the local network between devices (no internet connection required).

It makes sense to remove ftp if the web is just for advertising and sales. Why would any "consumer" need ftp.

Fortunately the text-only browser I use is probably not going to remove ftp. But any decline in ftp use that results from the decisions of these advertising-dependent organisations is concerning.
This is a matter of philosophy, your "world view". AFAIK Buddhists don't believe you have to change anything or even pursue a happy state. As for me at this phase of my development being mindfully happy (and not hypnotized happy like under narcotics or in a pleasant dream) makes the most sense (and happiness often comes when you do anything mindfully - AFAIK this is called "sukha"). And in fact this is not useless even from a practical (economical) point of view - this is genuine recreation letting you take the most out of your resting (and even doing chores) which makes you more stable and efficient after that.
Tipping is filled with issues of discrimination. Tipping also allows for the owner to steal from workers more easily (wage theft).

There's no good argument in favor of tipping. It's a bad practice that we should stop immediately.
What the article means is that the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle isn't just some problem of measurement that could possibly be overcome by better tools.

Rather, HUP is a mathematical consequence of the axioms of quantum mechanics, and you won't get around it by clever technology. Only blowing up QM entirely would get around HUP -- and the results would almost certainly be less familiar, rather than more like classical mechanics. (Indeed, this is already the case: it's called Quantum Field Theory.)

Avoid this kind of mostly seasonal work, it's a chain of pressure all the way down.
High rent pushes the restaurants to increase prices and reduce the good content of the menúes.
The food in the vast majority of restaurants these days is more unhealthy than a mc Donald's menu, they use a lot of oil, the meat is minimal, you get the fatty parts instead of the lean parts and they add the most economical sides like fries to fill the gaps.
It contributes a great deal to obesity, people's lazyness, I simply do not support any of this.
And all the jobs are unthankful, be it in the kitchen, waiter or door staff.
If the quality of the food would be amazing, i would change my opinion.
By amazing quality, my standard is the evening buffet , all you can eat events in a Hilton, and in most places it's a good price. You can include Marriott as well, but the vast majority of random restaurants serve worse food than mc Donald's(which at least is fairly priced, fast, clean premises and tasty enough).
Tip or no tip is not the issue, it's a dead end job with zero perspective and requires shift work or worse , seasonal availability.
You learn nothing that could advance your career in a meaningful way. Treat the job as such.
SteamDeck is particularly interesting because of how much it is tackling that industry head-on. From the perspective of a mobile gaming console, the fact that it’s a PC is awesome. From the perspective of advancing gaming on Linux, it’s even more exciting
There are plenty of people to work them, the owners are just not willing to pay a market wage.
The modern service job isn't meant to be sustainable in the first place. It's entirely based around the idea of having surplus labor using it inefficiently.

Any sane economist that has to solve for the constraint "everyone has to provide for themselves" aka the mythical republican "responsibility" would first start by creating enough jobs to reach full employment. When you leave everything up to responsibility you also have the duty to provide everyone with the ability to live up to their responsibility.

Society as a whole doesn't benefit from exploitation or unsustainable businesses.
I'm not aware of a single example of an OECD state (the USA aside, obviously) that doesn't apply significant price controls on healthcare, either explicitly, or by imposing a state-controlled monopsony. Across all the various approaches to healthcare systems in the developed world, that seems to be the single most consistently-adopted measure for keeping healthcare costs from going crazy, as far as I can tell.
> Germany alone has like 3 major extremely over-budget infrastructure projects I can think of

I'm going off cost per mile to build rail and road. Even when European projects go over budget, they still clock in below the U.K.–on average–which clocks in way below the U.S. (The latter gap is best explained by institutional ineptitude.)
It's not really slavery, but it's true that too many people rely on restaurants to reassure them about their place in society, which means the waiters have to make a show of being, um, in a different place in our society.

It got really obvious when people objected to having to put on a mask for the safety of the waiter serving them, and I can't blame anyone for noping out of that noise.

> My two cents: Software is a form of literacy not engineering. One good bridge looks and acts almost exactly like every other bridge in the world. Good software that does a given job can be unrecognisable compared to other good software that does exactly the same job.

1. This is false. One of the reasons making bridges is so expensive is because each bridge is a precious special snowflake with lots of challenges specific to that bridge project and no other bridges.

2. Bridge building is a very small part of civil engineering, and civil engineering is a very small part of traditional engineering. Maybe software is more like process engineering, or chipset design, or subsystem integration, or workflow optimization.
At this point it should be clear to you that you have made up your mind to speak favorably of Modi and are exhaustively searching for straws that will support your position.

Most lawyers who read the GPL are not excited to go to court. They will advise you are settle without going to court. Lawyers generally want to feel like they have a chance at winning a case in court before bothering, it doesn't feel good to lose - even when you know in advance the case is lost.

Don't read that as lawyers never go to court unless they will win. This is obviously not true: there are many reasons to take a case to court knowing you will lose it. However if a case will be lost in court they will avoid court if possible.
EU to ban cryptocurrency anonymity in anti-money laundering plan
There is an open github issue on the linux build. Currently the project builds and works on linux without any issues. The only thing remaining is packaging the executable so that the user doesn't have to manually install all the libraries which is probably very simple but it is taking me a long time because I am a noob when it comes to linux buils :/ .

The Mac version may take longer simply because I don't have access to a mac computer. Though theoretically it should compile on mac right now.

I think it might be more of an headache: what if somebody fixes a bug in an analyzer so that it catches things it used to miss ? Should it be a breaking change ?

GCC's -Wconversion has some issues. For example, good luck getting gcc to /not/ emit a warning for this code, in C or C++. I have yet to find the appropriate cast to avoid a warning. Clang does not warn for this.

typedef struct {
unsigned value : 4;
} S;

void foo(S* s, unsigned value) {
// error: conversion from 'unsigned int' to 'unsigned char:4' may change value
s->value = value;
}

I mean, I guess I can see the rationale.. it's just annoying to have to resort to using pragmas to turn off -Wconversion whenever I need to assign to a bitfield.
Right, my point is, you can always run your infra much the same AWS runs their infra. Cloud providers give you certain advantages that on prem doesn't have, and vice versa. Equally, running container orchestration gives you advantages AWS cannot give you (as well as k8s does anyway), and vice versa.

I'm a definitely fan of K8s, but I'm not defending it here, however, to saying orchestration isn't needed is silly. In a way what AWS provides is orchestration, it's just for VMs instead of containers.

As a devops engineer I've worked with a lot of individuals and with a lot of tooling, and so far I can only say my opinion for container orchestation has only grown stronger. I recall having to explain to certain developers how they have to first figure out more than 5 different services for AWS, then use packer to build an AMI, which is provisioned using Chef, then they have to terraform the relevant services, then use cloud-init to pull configuration values. All in all I had to do most of the work, and the code was scattered in several places. Compare that with a Dockerfile, a pipeline, and some manifest in the same repo. I've seen teams deploy a completely new application from first commit to production in less than a week, with next to zero knowledge of K8s when they started. The same teams, who weren't pros but had a bit of experience with AWS, took several weeks to deploy services of similar complexity on EC2. Saving two weeks of Developer's time and headaches is a lot, considering they're one of the most expensive expenses a company has.

At the end of the article it says:

"SQLite is much faster than direct writes to disk on Windows when anti-virus protection is turned on. Since anti-virus software is and should be on by default in Windows, that means that SQLite is generally much faster than direct disk writes on Windows. "
What is that based on?
It's interesting that you brought up high risk sports. The context of that quote was related to people injuring themselves by being too aggressive on stuff they should know better (one example was a relatively advanced practitioner pulling a calf muscle on a downward dog of all things). That's an example of a type of injury where the person sets goals (e.g. stretching to some specific previously achieved limit) without paying attention to the current state of the body (e.g. it's a fairly well known phenomenon that muscles are tighter in the morning than early evening, especially before warm ups).

Yoga isn't about quantified stretch goals, it's a daily fitness regime. So if you pull a leg muscle by going on a super deep downward dog first thing in the morning without warming up because you're aspiring to reach some guru-like level quickly, instead of seeing yoga as a fitness program to carry your body to old age, then yes, your understanding of the practice is wrong.
I do suspect a likely reason is because while secure FTP protocols exist, they are often not well-supported by both servers and web browsers alike. So while FTP can be secure, the implementation in practice often is not, and Firefox and Chrome are both pushing a "literally everything over HTTPS" mentality. (I have significant reservations about this concept, but in a world where they're shoving your DNS requests through HTTPS, it isn't surprising they are also want file transfers to be through HTTPS.)

You can see here where the GUI didn't support FTP over SSL, and then eventually got marked WONTFIX because they decided to deprecate FTP entirely instead: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=85464

> apparently it's hell on earth. That industry has the most drug users

I spent 3 years as a waitress, prep cook and dishwasher at a mid-range chain. Our regional manager would literally hand out speed pills to the staff if we were working a double or otherwise tired. Oh, having a rough shift? Here, have some trucker Yellowjackets I picked up just for this scenario at the sketchy truck stop just over the border.

Also, employees would steal literally everything that wasn't racheted down. Steaks, frozen fish, margarita glasses, people stocked their houses with the dishware and cutlery.

It is a tough industry to survive in. Forget thrive.

Hm. Every action movie is different, but similar. Every apartment complex is different, but similar. Every webshop is different, but similar.

Yes, usually if you have a bad scene it rarely matters, if you have a lot of amazing ones too. And amazing actors, and editing, and ... Similarly, if you build a nice condo, if one face of it looks bad from the street, but the internal spacing of the units are great, then it's still a success. And if your checkout page is shit, but you have amazing search, good prices, great quality products, then your shop is generally great.

Of course this makes it sound like engineering, or a specific profession (like that of plumbing, HVAC, electrician tradespeople). It's always never an end in itself. It's complex like a bridge or a dam, sure, but without looking at the big picture (traffic, environment, costs, environment, etc..) it cannot be really evaluated. Even safety eval requires assumption (100 year floods, wind loads, min max temperature, max. traffic load, max ship height under the bridge, max electricity load).

And there are patterns, architectures, frameworks. (Like building codes.) There are audits (pentests, like the collision tests for new cars, or synthetic load testing for new sites).

The big difference is that usually movies are done in a few years. Scope change rarely affects bridges. After the basic outline of the dam is checked for basic structural sanity, it's done. After a condo master plan is approved the changes are minimal (because there have been many lives lost due to deviations from the plans).
Your discussion is inherently within the classical realm and so it doesn't explain the uniqueness of quantum phenomena. You easily have "classical many worlds" where unknown information makes a model "split" and gaining the information decides which split you get. That's still not quantum in particular.
> I don't get the guy's appeal.

You could be talking about some politicians and I'd feel similarly. I think it says much more about society that these are the folks we hold up on a pedestal than it says about the people themselves.
Most medical services are overpriced and don’t need a doctor
In English we have a saying: He who pays the piper calls the tune. People who pay for a service expect, within reason, to decide how that service is to be rendered.

The opposite is what was depicted in the show Seinfeld as the "Soup Nazi": a person who renders the service only a particular way (and may even throw you out of their shop if you object). But even on Seinfeld the Soup Nazi only got away with how he acted because his soup was particularly good and it was worth conforming to his idiosyncratic etiquette on how to order, etc. So having such autonomy is uncommon and reserved only for the greatest -- even, say, in software: John Carmack can expect to have working conditions as he desires. You or I will have to settle for open plan offices and constant meetings.

That said, food service is indeed grueling and physically taxing work. My sister and her boyfriend both work in the industry. The boyfriend is a chef and smokes a lot of dope -- conforming to your observation about drug use. So I do what I can to make life easier at the restaurants I patronize, mainly being polite to the staff and, as America is a tipping culture, tipping them generously.
Mostly they don't really know. Or they don't know if you have insurance anyway because it's so all over the place with what gets covered and what that specific Healthcare provider has negotiated.

Maybe they have some actuaries who could actually tell you what a close approximation would be but that info never really filters down to folks in the call centers or at a front desk.

I have worked on the supply side, the insurance side and currently the provider side and it is all messed up. Across the board it's just a travesty of inefficiencies and opaque rules.

There just isn't a real way to shop around with our current system even though proponents of the system love to say that's what we all should be doing.

Never made it that far. This was a feature I use all the time in Python ML development (both consuming open source packages via an OOP interface and also writing in-house model classes) that I consider essential for my productivity and that Julia was missing.

<edit>I'm also nervous of relying on the recourse of asking package maintainers to edit their variable names to improve compatibility with the random third package I want to use; maybe the culture is different in Julia but in Python that's a good way to get laughed out of the issue tracker :) </edit>

If I were you I would maybe ask people like @systemvoltage who took the plunge and wrote a big project in Julia only to find they had trouble maintaining the project. Maybe one reason he can't upgrade without breaking everything is because of namespace collisions amongst his many dependencies? If not that, it's something like that.
