Fake News... that is not capitalism, that is a by product of decades and decades of tex based incentives that push people in to market index funds, mutual funds and other institutional investment where it is all managed funds

These managed funds are driven by quarterly earnings people expect to see...

This intern drives public companies to focus on quarterly earnings

Privately held companies almost never look at quarterly earnings, they look at a 5 year picture... It is mainly public companies majority owned institutional investors (401k's, pensions, etc) that focus on quarterly earnings

So once again what people blame capitalism for, is in reality government putting their hands on the scales and tipping the market in ways that have unintended consequences
Update: that GPU is about $250 more now than what I paid on 8/6.

The worst part of all of this is now my PC is this precious asset. Used to be a GPU could die and "meh, whatever... could have used an update anyhow." Now I feel the need to pay for a 'protection' plan.

The good part of just paying the cost is now I'm no longer involved in 'newegg shuffle' nonsense or participating in 24/7 Live Stock Watcher videos on YouTube[1]. How messed up is that?

The problem here isn't the hardware. The problem is the location you're choosing to store your photos.

If you want to protest what they're doing, then stop storing photos on iCloud which means you need to spend less on iCloud storage. That's the most realistic option.
It's not so different form everyone in a friend group buying an XBox so they can all play (game) together, honestly.

This is all from memory, so treat with caution.

The S in SATA is serial. The older IDE jobs are PATA - parallel. Two PATA drive share the available bandwidth (for want of a better word) and multiple SATAs have all the bandwidth available simultaneously to each device.

Copying from one PATA disk to another on the same bus is horrible - in out, in out shake it all about at a few 10s of MBs-1. Copying from one SATA to another runs at full speed.

For real speed you need SSD and hardware RAID with whopping caches and a price to match. For huge storage, reliability and a fairly eye watering price, why not use SSD to cache fast SAS 2.5" spinning rust with a decent hardware RAID. Oh I've just started to specify a SAN/NAS!
Both great tools!

Evidence is aimed at teams who would prefer to build their analytics infrastructure primarily with SQL, rather than python.

Evidence also includes nice features for building multi-page information architectures (paramaterized pages, nested routes etc.), while I understand dash and streamlit are more aimed at standalone dashboard/ interactive products.

Why do people make websites that are so narrow that the code snippets have a horizontal scrollbar? I have a 4k monitor. Modern web design is almost as stupid as modern C++.
Noobs writing C++ tutorials are a crime against humanity. Compilers too, but I digress. Are you a time traveler from ten years ago or something, what is this even supposed to be.

It re-encodes. Actually, I think it defaults to marking the sponsor bits ... somehow. Whatever it's doing wasn't enough for my player to notice.

That said, for this stuff, I've only downloaded audio, and of that mostly talking head type stuff, where I let it cut out the segments. Whatever re-encoding is done would have to be pretty bad before I'd care.

"Manufacturing economy" was a meme sold to gullible nostalgic masses

Work is work, money is money. There's nothing fundamentally more important about manufacturing then other types of jobs. The US still has tons of manufacturing but unsurprisingly its on the backs of much fewer jobs, many of which require more education and specialization then manufacturing economy of old used to supply

Neither am I, I was referring to Afghanistan.
Alright, so my initial response is this: Luckily I'm not in charge of setting up a QKD network at the moment. I have no idea what the actual usecase is for these things. I fully agree that simply sending a "runner" with the PSK in some sort of tamper proof container (glitter nail polish?) achieves basically the same thing, and about a thousand orders of magnitude cheaper.

But then I thought about it for a while longer, and I came up with this: Maybe the advantage is that the private key never actually can be read by anyone, not even the two communicating parties, thus basically eradicating the possibility of spies or betrayal within your engineering ranks.

If you can guarantee the physical integrity of the line for the entire 600km, you're also basically set. The only actual attack on QKD is setting up those MITM's, maybe even only during the initial set up? I don't know how often the entanglement has to be reset, are they permanently entangled or is there a reestablishing every so often?
Not all developed countries have legally mandated minimum wages, even those that are often considered "socialist" in American parlance. Indeed, Sweden is one such example!

(In practice, those places still have minimum wages - it's just that they're negotiated between employers and unions, and can vary across different industries and geographically where that makes sense.)

The real problem with min wage is that it's effectively a regressive tax, because it raises the cost of the cheapest produced goods/services - which, of course, tend to be disproportionally used by those who simply can't afford anything else. So you're taxing the poor to help the very poor! It is better compared to a free-for-all jungle, but it's much worse than e.g. UBI (funded by actual progressive taxes, on income, or better yet, on capital gains) without min wage.
sounds more like a feature than a bug, Palantir can blame the FBI, FBI can blame Palantir. FBI really just wants the ability to access data they want

Either they did the things they are accused of doing or they didn't. I am not seeing much in the way of direct denial in this statement. They seem to want to add "context" which I know as a PR weasel word for we did it, we aren't sorry, but we want to muddy the waters as much as possible about our guilt.
The easiest way to leave the gray zone would be to get a ham radio license. Although this might vary from country to country, generally you are allowed to use selfbuilt transmitters in specific frequency ranges, which also includes noncertified hardware.
CoronaVac vaccine? This is a much less effective vaccine than Pfizer and Moderna (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CoronaVac), so it's not surprising that natural immunity would be superior.

This vendor sells cubes of various sizes that they claim to be 99.95% tungsten - https://luciteria.com/metal-cubes/tungsten-cube. I have one of the 1cc cubes and it seems to be of good quality. They also sell a lot of other exotic elements.
I am curious. There may very well be patterns. Like that recent article where an algorithm could guess the ethnicity of patients from X-rays, such patterns may very well be present in driving
The issue is not the package. Obviously Sasha is allowed to publish whatever packages he wishes.

The problem is that third parties take his package and then describe the combination of Alpine with his package in such a way that people are led to believe is totally stock Alpine.

This then causes many people to complain in Alpine support channels, or on websites like this one, that Alpine is "buggy" in ways that cannot be reproduced on real Alpine.

You also assume that this is our first reaction.

Our first reaction was 6 years ago when it first came out: meh.

No, this is our first reaction to a large company trying to pass off their hackjob images combining Alpine, glibc and a glibc JDK as a certified JDK that is running on stock Alpine.

It is unfortunate that we have waited this long to put our foot down, honestly!

We need to support our friends in the Docker community who manage the Docker Library who also get to deal with the fallout of these hackjob images.

The person who makes the hackjob rarely faces the consequences of it breaking, that basically has always fallen on us, or on the Docker Library team, or on some other team in the ecosystem that has to deal with somebody who is mad because their application has failed due to some shoddy work done by somebody 2 years ago.

Stop assuming this is our "first" reaction. It isn't. I even said it wasn't to begin with -- a "first" reaction cannot logically be an escalation from a previous position, it must be an initial one.

> This will be super unpopular, but Linux missed the desktop boat 20 years ago

Desktop Linux in 2021 is nothing like it was 20 years ago. Plasma Desktop is a great experience these days, and in my opinion, surpasses both the Windows and macOS desktop shell experiences while implementing features from both systems.
Nor did 3.1. Windows for Workgroups 3.11 did eventually get a first-party TCP/IP stack from Microsoft (as an add-on), but TCP/IP was largely the domain of third-party products up until Windows 95.
>I do everything with the google docs these days, even on windows. So do a lot of businesses.

Some might, but goodness knows I've never run into one. The corporate America I have interacted with so far (30 year career, so not trivial) is Office all the way down, and deeply enmeshed with Exchange calendaring. (I mean, as an MSFT-hater from the 90s, it pains me to admit this, but Exchange calendaring is materially better than anything else. Sometimes, Redmond does things well.)
It's not for lack of trying. It's hard to compete on the global stage and it takes more than wishful thinking to maintain a competitive edge in a world full of people trying to top you.
I've been dreaming about getting the 4" tungsten cube for a while but could never justify buying it. I would need some extra truly disposable income, like as a side effect if I got really lucky gambling a marginal amount. Sadly in the last year it's price has jumped up 50% from $2000 to $3000.

"Modern authoritarian regimes". Authoritarian regimes are pretty obvious and easy to deal with. Hey I grew up in soviet union, everyone knew media/authorities lie, nobody took it serious and all information was taken with a grain of salt.

What is much more dangerous is countries where people they live under a democracy but once some information about people in power pop up it could be silenced, flooded with disinformation, you may disappear, you may hide for rest of your life in some embassy like Assange. Anything can happen. And people with money and power have total control. They just often use indirect, hidden measures to achieve that. We don't even know who are those people, they don't have to be public figures like dictators etc. This is much more scary.

And KGB, stasi, etc never ever dreamed of such control on people and survivlence modern social networks and technologies provide. And western 3-letter agencies have much more power those could even dream of.

And you know what is more scary? That nobody give a f*. Even if information about some really scary stuff appear in media everyone would just forgot about that next day. Or media would even make a show out of it. Like that episode in a black mirror. Everyone knows their phones are spying on them but keep using them. It's not just convinient, I can't order a taxi anymore without a smartphone. Few years ago I could just catch a car not anymore. You can't take a subway or a bus without being seen on 100 CCTV cams with facial recognition. And if you question if that's normal you would be asked "what you have something to hide or what?". Maybe I'm just not an exhibicionist.
I'm fairly confident that when the article says "hard work", it just means "a lot of work". The article later mentions that more motivation will help you work harder.

The point is that motivated or not, high quality output requires a lot of work. Working a lot on a particular thing is still going to be easier for some and harder for others.
IMO the power of Linux distros is the package manager. The ~2.5 hour journey that you described on macOS should take less than a minute on most Linux distros. During my (somewhat brief) time with macOS, brew was a primary source of frustration.

You say that recompiling software is slow and errors during compilation are normal on Linux. I don't find myself compiling software very often. Most things are grabbed as binaries by the package manager. For everything else there's the AUR (which I rarely experience issues with.)
> More social housing fixes the underlying supply issue.

How could social housing fix the issue? The underlying issue is too many obstructions to building new houses, which restrict supply. If commercially motivated developers cannot build enough houses due to bureaucracy and obstructions by NIMBY groups, then municipality would likely fail too.
I've got a hazy memory of trying this but had to back out because something broke. There was some big limitation of WSL2 I cant remember.

I really dislike these articles on pop-sci websites. It’s basically just another clickbait news site except it has the word “science” displayed everywhere to give itself slightly more legitimacy.

This artery is just another normal variant. There are tons and tons of normal variants throughout the body including major central arteries (eg aberrant right subclavian, retropharyngeal carotids). The changing prevalence is likely more an artifact of data collecting than anything meaningful, just like most of the articles on these sites that gain any traction.
I think you would need to be a tinkerer to enjoy the Linux experience fully. I've running Linux on desktop (and servers) for 15 years at least and there has always been tinkering, although much less the last 5 years or so.
Cool. I would recommend emailing a doctor in that specialty and asking them if seems like a good idea. Or alternatively, you could ask a bunch of patients to determine need for it based on their experiences. If it is something in pain management, I may be able to help.
In my experience of living in Shanghai, Nomadlist and Numbeo estimates are way too high. That's not to say that rich expats aren't actually paying those prices (someone must've entered them, right?) but if you're willing to shop around and learn the local language so you don't get ripped off like an ignorant foreigner, you should be able to get things much cheaper.
> Are the sponsor parts really so bad? To me not only is it easy to skip, I want indie people to make enough money to produce high quality content; otherwise media is just what a few biggies want to fund.

In my experience, it's the same with ads everywhere else. It (usually) starts out not being overly obnoxious, with just a "this video is sponsored by [garbage tier mobile game/earphones/vpn/whatever] more about them at the end of the video" and then the pitch at the end.

I don't mind these. They quickly get the name out at the beginning and then don't interrupt the video. What really annoys me are the ones that interrupt the video. At some point a few of them annoyed me enough that I installed SponsorBlock. Because I don't want to hear or see these ads, but i tolerated them. But once that threshold is crossed where I don't tolerate all of them anymore, why would I not just block all of them? I'm not going to unblock specific channels that are well-behaved to listen to ads for products i will definitely never buy.

It's the exact same thing with regular ad-blocking. Sometimes when I'm on a fresh OS I start browsing the web and only notice I don't have an adblocker once I visit a page with super obnoxious ads (e.g. google on mobile and realize there's only ads and no organic results for like the first 5 screens).
Windows help functionality has been declining ever since. Those old help files were so clean and snappy, well-organized and searchable. Now, I dread accidently pressing F1 in any major windows app.
> But consistent with what? With just yourself (that might be OK).

Yep, that's what I meant. Within a (set of) text(s).

Each newspaper has its set of rules to follow to ensure consistency, so if you need consistency across an organization you can do this. English newspapers do that too.

> The Académie provides a standard that you can be consistent with.

...And that people don't consistently follow, because this standard does not reflect the reality of how the language is spoken or written. Almost by definition. Anyway, we are still waiting for their dictionary, which first edition should have been released maybe a century ago. They have one important task and they can't manage to finish it. Not a big issue though (except for the money thrown out of the window), if you need a dictionary that actually works you have the Robert or Wiktionary.

But we need documentation for the French language and that's why the Observatoire de la langue française exists (http://observatoire.francophonie.org/l-observatoire-de-la-la...).

Anyway, each individual is going to speak the language with their own quirks and particularities. Consistency across everybody is unreachable. But that's fine.

For Covid, the Académie has ironically been a source of inconsistency. Before their intervention, everybody had been saying "le covid". All was well. Now, usage is uncertain here.
Telegraf is an awesome agent, and also pairs really nicely with Prometheus as a TSDB, then you can put Grafana on top.

Maybe not in this specific case, but in general Prometheus my preferred TSDB sitting between Telegraf and Grafana

If you need further scale-out there are options for federating Prometheus instances as well.
Since you're interested in readability, you may also like std::format:

std::string format_parse_error(std::string base, JSONToken token) {
std::ostringstream s;
s << "Unexpected token '" << token.value << "', type '"
<< JSONTokenType_to_string(token.type) << "', index ";
s << std::endl << base;
return format_error(s.str(), *token.full_source, token.location);
}

becomes

std::string format_parse_error(std::string_view base, JSONToken token) {
return format_error(
std::format(
"Unexpected token '{}', type '{}', index '{}'\n{}"
, token.value
, JSONTokenType_to_string(token.type)
, index
, base)
, *token.full_source
, token.location
);
}
I feel like arguing that Facebook is somehow a better plan than iMessage is a little weird.
Interesting idea, but I suspect that jurisdictions soft on squatters are almost certainly soft on vandalism and theft of contents caused by said occupants. Once the owner reclaims their property, it's then an uphill battle to prove and pursue damages against people who are long gone.

Before an owner takes any action, they had best know what type of squatters they are dealing with. Some would be likely to set fire to the place on the way out (or not leave; perishing amongst the smoke and flames) if they are subjected to enough anguish.

Being two different projects has advantages, especially when one part (need to) moves much faster.

The fact that some requires custom logic doesn't prove that you need a programming language, it is just custom logic compared to the standard framework.

I agree that there is a large learning curve. It certainly took me a many months to get a good configuration repo going. But I see this as a failure of documentation rather than a failure of NixOS. The way I have my config setup is really not complicated, but it took so long to figure out the design. I really want to write a blog post series about how I do NixOS because I highly value simplicity and I think there are too many NixOS “learning” resources that are written by and for highly technical NixOS gurus. NixPills is a prime example of this. That blog post series is NOT for beginners. At all. But somehow is referenced as a learning resource.
You're not thinking far enough. Squatting property will only pay the bills. Stripping literally everything of value out of the property before using the husk as a pop-up drug lab is the way you make real money
I read the title as though achieving a 9-5 job and having 2 kids was the MVP. I like that interpretation as well :)
If property returns around 5% per year, lending $90k for a stay would be around $4.5k per year and represent perhaps a $375 monthly apartment. Given that you are not even paying fully for the apartment, this makes it possibly even more valuable.
This can be considered quite decent given that there is more or less no risk involved.
An index fund may generate higher returns maybe even 7% but given the low risk the system may be generous. As an institution it may of course beg other questions if the money is well invested, if it creates a bubble etc.
