I took a few shortcuts in my explanation and may have implied that the disk full case was similar to what was shown here (it's not completely related). All in all this is really controller dependant. Some controllers do the bare minimum to show good speeds in benchmarks, which means they never do much consolidating once every cell has been written once. This used to be the norm when SSDs were relatively new. 3 years ago this wasn't the case anymore, but for the most bargain brands (of controllers, you may be disappointed by "good" brands using poor controllers, Intel for example).

At 25% capacity you usually don't see any degrading in performance on the best controllers (I would put Samsung in there). QLC makes things harder on controllers (4 bits) but unless you are in a terrible spot (say you just filled 80%, and try to fill more without leaving enough time to consolidate), you are rarely doing terrible.

Which QLC drive did you have a bad experience with ? Samsung's QLC drive as far as I know recover their "SLC" cache pretty much always for example, according to Toms in 5 minutes of idle time [1]. And this is with their cheapest (I think) model out there.

Sorry that this whole thing spawned something we both didn't expect.

Joe does look pretty hilarious these days. If you look at pictures of him younger vs now he went from decent looking italian showman to some alien humanoid. Becoming a muscleman who works out for hours, plus tries crazy things like his diet, pill regimen, and sitting in a sauna/ice bath for an hour daily is something he wants to do and it is his prerogative.

The only thing he really promotes heavily is for people to lose weight and stop eating junk food. Yeah he does have ads for Gatorade clone drinks but still I don't think he is really implying people should adopt his whole routine. It is easy to ignore and focus on the podcast content.

If you don't mind which lifestyle choices are you referring to?

>Not really sincere or actually interested in his guests more than he is interested in himself. I find he'll say he's interested and come back with some show of how cultured and learned he is by bringing some obscure minutiae.

There have been a lot of podcasts where he has no freakin clue how to add to the conversation so he tries to contribute topic he does know about (comedy, MMA, working out) but for the most part he sits and listens. For me if the guest is not interesting or acting in bad faith, I shut it off and move on with the understanding that I will rarely miss any insight from Joe himself. If he is friends with the person then I see a totally different vibe. I'm not trying to convince you of anything, just stating my observations.

At the end of the day he has repeatedly said that the podcast is just supposed to be two people sitting around "shooting the shit". In fact I only started listening in mid 2020 just because of some guest that intrigued me. I didn't even know who Joe Rogan was before that.

This is really great advice. Chef was doing this years ago with test kitchen and inspec (and serverspec). Most community cookbooks came with extensive test suites, and in turn made it easy to encourage people to write tests for cookbooks in house. It seems theres a real lack of testing in opensource Ansible playbooks a lot of the time, and a lot of times when I see it used in organizations.

Yes! This is because web browsers use the platform text input stack

Browsers are actually a great example of my favorite approach to cross-platform UI, because they sprinkle platform-native widgets throughout the canvas that they render, controlled by a platform-agnostic programming language.

In Theory: is 4K DLSS viable for a next-gen Switch Pro?
On POSIX systems (including MacOS), just 'fe80::1' doesn't work. You need something like fe80::1%eth0. The 'eth0' is in general unknown, because it is the name of the outgoing interface, which varies from OS to OS and even between Linux distributions.

Then in URLs you have the question whether it is 'http://[fe80::1%eth0]' or 'http://[fe80::1%25eth0]' ('%'s escaping). And by and large browsers have decided that the whole '%eth0' is complex from a security point of view, so they don't support it.

In some cases Windows does allow just a 'fe80::1'. But I don't know under what circumstances.

It seems plausible, and I speak here as someone with no medical expertise whatsoever, that a vaccine-immunity that targets the spike protein and slows infection would still be pretty good at reducing symptoms as it would presumably slow the virus spreading inside you, giving your immune system a better chance to pick up on a specific-strain response before it's completely overwhelmed.

Given that there really does seem to be better outcomes for vaccinated people even when they have breakthrough infections, compared to completely-unvaccinated first-time-COVID-havers, there certainly seems to be something like that helping out.
Makes way more sense.

> Are you sure about that? It's the norm in Europe. E.g. you can't work for UK security services (MI5, MI6) unless one of your parents was also British, you lived in the UK for a while and you might be required to give up dual citizenship.

I think it's actually similar for US security clearances, though not explicitly codified like that.

IIRC, if you're a dual citizen, you have to renounce the non-American one. Apparently it's not good enough to say "I'll renounce it if you ask," since that's conditional (on them requesting it). You have to renounce it unconditionally. I think that even applies to allied countries (e.g. no US-Canadian dual citizens).

I think the US would also reject a clearance if the applicant had relatives that were in a situation that could be used to exploit them (e.g. foreign nationals, living in a non-friendly country, etc).

Basically, the idea is that you shouldn't have any (discoverable) competing loyalties, and you shouldn't have anything in your life that makes you vulnerable to manipulation.

Disclaimer: I have no actual expertise in this area, but I did spend an afternoon browsing the government website where they described security clearance rejection appeals.

It's worth it. Montreal and it's surrounding cities neglected the river and canals, which supported local industry and transport, then used to dump toxic soils from digging the subway, or dumping untreated sewer water. After much cleanup, there are many spots where we can swim, kayak or even surf. It has completely changed some neighborhoods (Verdun, Saint-Henri, but also going from Bellerive to Boucherville islands).
>but one rarely loses one's job or family over Civilization, which is not true of gambling addiction.

debatable. Maybe not with Civ specifically, but I remember huge scares in the MMO days over some people literally playing themselves to death from malnourishment. In particular this was targeted towards dedicated gaming cafes in Korea from what I remember. Addiction can be just as deadly even if it "only costs $10/month"

Man, I remember doing shrooms in Amsterdam, it was such a great time. At some point I had this feeling as if all of my worries were “figured out” and all that was left was a sense of calm optimism about the future. Great experience, would recommend. Maybe this is something that I should do once per year as a ritual: go up there, eat a bag of mushrooms, wander around, feel grateful for existing and at peace with the world.
I've heard the author give a really interesting interview on radio 4 about his book - I've not read it though

but i find it equally frustrating and fascinating as a person with a northern accent from an extremely working class background. watching, listening and interacting with various people from many backgrounds. i don't hate or dislike people who have been to public schools - in fact after many drunken nights out talking people who have been in them, i often pity them

(based on my experience) the class system is not only alive in the UK, it's still massively thriving. Including a massive amount of stereotyping - not sure if this is higher or lower in the uk, but it seems to rule some peoples lives here (often people who percieve themselves as superior)

<I've deleted much ranting here - yes I've been drinking>

but tl;dr I think unless the uk (or any country for that matter) wants to progress as a nation - public schools should be outlawed. they're made/ designed (with the class system) to allow rich people to give their offspring highly paid influential jobs no matter what their ability is - at the expense of the nation as a whole.

I don't think much about the human condition has changed. Rather, people are becoming more open about mental health issues, and we are developing ways to treat them. In the past, you'd just suffer in silence by yourself, or hope it got better on its own. I remember as a kid I had strep throat a lot. If I were born 200 years earlier, it would be accepted that sometimes you go blind or die from that. Every episode would have been a nail-biter for my parents. But in the age of antibiotics and 5 minute rapid tests, you go to the doctor and they cure it. Are we overreliant on drugs? Nope, we're just dying less from childhood diseases. I look at mental health issues through the same lens -- we're better at recognizing them and treating them now, so what looks like more people with mental health issues is actually the medical system helping more people.

(The same is true of pretty much anything. In the 1700s, there weren't a lot of people with Internet streams driving around looking for tornados. In the 2020s, there are, and as a result there are a lot more tornado reports. Does that mean the frequency of tornadoes is increasing? Nope. It just means the one that touches down in a field in the middle of nowhere is live-streamed from 20 separate angles, instead of going unnoticed by humanity as it would have many years ago.)

Here is Orwell's essay about his time at a public school, "Such, Such Were the Joys." I, an American, had had a romantic view of these schools for years, after reading Harry Potter as a youngster. Reading this essay disabused me of my enchanted castle imaginings. It also speaks more generally of the cruelty of the old ways of thinking about children and sexuality.

In principle I do not share that view. The browser does not start with this data cached. You actually need to load all of it. On a slow connection you may give up and never come again to reach a cached-load scenario. It is a lose-lose scenario. IMO cache should be used to make an already fast page lightning fast.

Web perfomance optimization tells me a lot about a product and its priorities. I do not mind bloated products that perform a certain function well for their users and never try to pretend to be optimial from an engineering standpoint.

But this is nim, language that markets itself as efficient and elegant, and execution like this can hurt their credibility and brand perception in the very community they are trying to market themselves in (developers).
The US Intelligence Community’s Assessment on Covid-19 Origins [pdf]
No, the IAP model became dominant because the unwashed masses can’t be bothered to spend a few dollars or even just 99¢ for a copy of software that oftentimes took many months if not years to develop, to say nothing of on-going support and maintenance costs. Too many people (in general) are just flat out fucking cheap and too many devs/companies are willing to resort to stuffing every app with ads and tracking.
It's the company's and manager's responsibility to offer to support career progression, but IMO it's inappropriately paternalistic to insist on it.

And unless companies adjust salaries to keep up with market without arm twisting or requiring employees to run on a hamster wheel to "level up" and "prove they can do the job", the easier choice is to leave.

We don’t have to talk in abstract about this, you can benchmark these things or just look at the many ones run by others. For example, some benchmarks around some Postgres scaling improvements: https://wiki.postgresql.org/images/e/e8/FOSDEM2012-Multi-CPU....

I live in a red state with right to work (for less) laws and a strong anti-union sentiment. The work ethic here is: if you have to cut down every last tree, desertify every last grassland, poison every last waterway, then you do it to feed your family. Now we're living under the consequences of that freedom, with rampant wildfires and the loss of most timber/grazing/mining jobs. $15 per hour is mocked like some kind of impossible dream because everyone works at the call center or does food service now.

I'm concerned that many of the people reading this live in big cities with liberal politics so they haven't seen the consequences of unregulated wild west crony capitalism. I grew up with it, so I know how it leads to wealth inequality and inequality in general. It's basically the aristocratic/imperialist model like England had, where one rich guy hires everyone else and everybody is happy because the rich guy keeps them safe and the poor people have a meal ticket.

But I would argue that's suboptimal. A much better system is one where everyone prospers. Reaganomics put us on the libertarian path since about 1980, but as the boomers retire, Gen X and younger doesn't have to stay trapped under that system they didn't vote for. My feeling is that change will come swiftly over the next 2 years and that only the very stodgiest boomers will still believe they have the power.

There's talk of a general strike over the holidays this year where young people will not hire on to seasonal jobs, and abstaining from holiday buying will be encouraged. There's a chance that could break some of the smaller corporations that have borrowed against that holiday cashflow.

But in order for that to stick and let young people transition to something more like solarpunk, automating drudgerous labor and UBI, they're going to need alternatives. There's some hope with some of the back to basics trends like tiny homes and working jobs like Uber that let employees set their own hours. That stuff will be attacked on every front though until young people internalize that they actually have the power because they do the actual work.
That's about as wet a blanket as you could throw on an HN comment thread. This kind of judgementalism doesn't get us anywhere.
I don't think it'll shift as quickly or as hard as you expect. I imagine this will just be where some companies strongly urge users to use their native payments, but there will be some small "use apple pay" button (possibly mandated by Apple, possibly not).

On top of that, many may not bother at all. setting up a payment vendor isn't trivial. Some may be happy to let apple keep 30% of the gravy for that convienence.
> In western Europe most places tax at source, which means your wages are taxed before they are sent to your bank.

The US does this too; it's known as "withholding". There are also "estimated taxes" paid quarterly if you have significant income outside of regular employment and thus not subject to withholding. You still have to settle up at the end of the tax year, but by that point the vast majority of the tax (and perhaps a bit more) has already been paid.
