Thats kinda the story of me with my ICE cars too. Oil changes take 15 minutes twice a year and its a drive through where I don't even have to exit my car. I make up for that time and more with the savings from it only taking sixty seconds to juice up the car.

I've also owned cars for a long time, from new to 300k miles, and typically the expensive fixes that start to creep up are due to components wearing out. Things like rubber seals in the suspension, brake lines rusting out due to the salt used on the roads or a manufacturing defect leading to premature rust, electrical harnesses needing replacing. I don't think electric cars are immune to these issues since they have nothing to do with the powerplant, usually that part of the car is bulletproof in my experiences if you buy from reliable manufacturers like Honda.
There were two sets of exports. __kernel_fpu_begin/end and kernel_fpu_begin/end.

The only meaningful difference was that one was marked GPL and the other wasn't.

Removing the one with __ can be justified pretty easily.

Insisting that the ones they kept should still be marked 'GPL' is where it gets ridiculous. Going in and out of FPU mode is not something that makes your code derivative of the kernel code.
With a solid undergrad and track record it shouldn't matter.

Super Resolution Models
Hi everyone! lofi.co is my first web app, and it combines art, lofi music and productivity tools into an interactive experience. Building It was far more complicated than I thought, mainly because it involved a lot of people: producers, illustrators, labels, designers. I made a lot of mistakes and learned from them, but I’m happy with how it eventually came out. Anyways, hope you like the platform, the main goal is to provide a calming experience and make things like working or studying less stressful than they usually are (not that easy, right?). I already have many upgrades and new features planned so I hope you’ll be able to see it in the next few weeks.
I highly appreciate any kind of feedback and advice!

This is the difference between me in my late teens, early 20s. hardcore vegan, avoided all animal products. Went to lengths to avoid leather, never ate any animal products.

Now, 20 years later, I'm mostly vegetarian, and limit dairy and other animal products. But it doesn't have to be perfect. I'm just trying to consume less of it and lessen my overall impact.

It doesn't have to be 100% pure.
This does not mean that big tech companies are not capitalist in the sense that ordinary people use the word "capitalist", nor indeed in the sense that economists generally use the word "capitalist" either. No critic of capitalism intends for their critique not to apply to actual businesses as they must exist (even Valve). It may be an interesting fact that firms are not organized unconsciously according to a price mechanism, but it is not a surprising one nor of any particular salience here.

I have my first Linux machine since this weekend, and I really love how that feels a lot like old school Windows. Just an OS running on your own hardware, no calling home, no cloud, no account somewhere if I don't want to. And surprisingly easy to install as well, again not really more difficult than, say, setting up Windows XP yourself. or Windows 2000.

It is really quite refreshing to have some of the freedom from the "old days" back. Honestly, I don't think I'll go back for private usage. Work is different, a) because employers provide hard- and software and b) because Office 365 is quite good for corporate use.
I agree. One workaround though is clicking NYTimes links, then clicking Firefox Reader View, then clicking refresh.

But then you have to actually read NYTimes, which reading the agenda they push can be a different type of infuriating.
It takes IDA Pro, some low level asm/C++/Python programming skills and a lot of hours.

Reverse engineering is not that complicated, however getting some results is difficult and time consuming.

In that example it's basically looking at how some libraries are parsing input, that's it. Since everything in those phones are C/C++ nothing is "safe".

Yes, they are normally used in conjunction with testing. But they are also used in conjunction with careful systems engineering to minimise the amount of code that needs to go through the most rigerous processes and focus on what really mattered.

I'm curious which static analysis tool you were using. I used to work in SPARK Ada and false positives were not really a thing due to how it worked. But I've heard of others that were much less restrictive which ended up with lots of false positives, or "maybe" cases that then wasted everyone's time. I can see how systems like that would put people right off using them.
I've never had an issue taking the car to a place like valvoline where oil changes are their bread and butter. I've only heard of that sort of stuff happening at dealerships where they might have highschoolers working above their heads in the maintenance department.

Australia and New Zealand have very low vaccination rates, largely due to fairly spectacular government screwups, so have little choice but to lock down harshly.

US states which have low vaccination rates also had little choice but to lock down harshly, but they mostly seem to have gone for the generally less popular 'kill lots of people' option, instead.

I'm working to build a good WYSIWYG email editor at https://postheat.com/create
Also came here to ask this.

Imageboard style replies would be fine too -- where it's flat and there's a single top post and the way replies work is that they "link" to the post number of the person they are replying to and clicking the post number link jumps you to that post.

I don't think its comparable - most factories still had huge main complexes in one place or at least a city where one could visit everything during a single day if needed.

One of our primary goals on the Synapse last quarter was to make it possible for a new homeserver to join Matrix HQ (a large, public room) in under 1 GB of RAM. And we did it. https://matrix.org/blog/2021/06/15/synapse-1-36-0-released

It's not the slimmest beast, in part because Synapse needs to scale up to country-scale deployments, but its ability to scale down has significantly improved over the past year.

That said, Dendrite and Conduit (https://gitlab.com/famedly/conduit/) are exciting projects which will optimize for different operational contexts.

There is a lot more behind a statistic than just a number or trend-line, one which often requires single or multiple policy changes that could take years. So yes, observing that the trend line goes and keeps going down is good, a sharp rise is a cause for concern. That is not the same thing, at all, as thinking the status quo is just fine.

You can lower break wear if you drive a manual ice car too. On my stick shift for a freeway off ramp I only hit the brakes when going from 5mph to a complete stop at the end, the rest of the time I smoothly downshift and let the engine brake the car. There is just no chance a tesla that weighs twice as much as my manual little honda is wearing the brake pads less.

That seems like details to me. It's also extrapolated on elsewhere here.

> That's two out of three grievances that have no substance whatsoever. You cannot have a serious conversation about these things if there is not more detail.

Actually, you could, just by ignoring the things you don't see evidence of and focusing on the points that do, and assessing them based on merit.

The messenger is irrelevant if the message is verifiable and is worth discussing. It's useful to call out points that seem to not be backed up, or be purposefully vague. It's not fine to use that as a reason to ignore other points because "you cannot have a serious conversation" when that's obviously not the case when it's not tried.
Definitely shouldn’t be anywhere near highest reliability. Professional equipment has to stand up to a lot more use—like a camera you use every day, made with more metal and with thick rubberized grips. If I have a personal camera, I’ll take care not to drop it. If I’m a professional photographer, the question is how often it gets dropped. If we’re talking cables, “professional” grade (to me) means the connectors are going to get hundreds of cycles per year, and the cables might have to snake across the floor and get tread on five days a week. In general, “pro” grade stuff can be bigger, bulkier, more expensive.

Then there’s stuff built for public spaces. ATMs, books in the public library, turnstyles at the metro, etc. All designed to be in close contact with people who either just don’t care or are actively trying to damage it.

TBH I don’t know what the grade below consumer-grade would be.

wow -- the founders are going to make out like bandits. No outside funding means no dilution.
This is a great example of the problems with the precise wording of laws.

The intent of the NM law that prevented Tesla from doing this e.g. in downtown Santa Fe was to prevent manufacturers from undercutting dealers who had done the work of proving a market by opening their own stores in direct competition. There are arguments for and against this, but it's not clearly a completely stupid idea on its face.

But of course, the law wasn't written to deal with a scenario where there's a new(ish) manufacturer that has no dealers anywhere, least of all in NM, and has no plans to ever have dealers. It only sells its cars in company-owned stores, and opening a new store is not undercutting any existing dealers.

Would the legislators who voted for the legislation have understood the difference if the idea had been presented to them back when this was passed? Would they have worded it differently?
My mom’s iPad was doing the same thing for a long time and I suspected hardware failure (it was getting kinda old), so I told her to take it into the Apple store for diagnosis and repair. It turned out that the iOS install was just corrupted by bit flips and the Apple employee did a factory reset and it was all good afterwards. There’s many things that can go wrong with even modern computers that aren’t exploit related
Why did this take so long? The alternate thread pointing at the citizenlab report [1] says that "In March 2021, we examined... and determined that they had been hacked"

It's September. The NYTimes says: "Apple’s security team has been working around the clock to develop a fix since Tuesday, after researchers at Citizen Lab, a cybersecurity watchdog organization at the University of Toronto, discovered that a Saudi activist’s iPhone had been infected with spyware from NSO Group."

So has Apple been sitting on this since March, or has CitizenLab?

> It's found the most efficient/popular way to do that is through businesses.

Not at all, look up the history of health insurance in America, companies providing it was not by design, it was in fact done to get around government laws on wage caps during the great depression.

Now days the system is entrenched, there are a large # of corrupt players who leech of the healthcare ecosystem in America, and they pay good $ to lobbyists and PR firms to keep things that way.

Right now 1/3rd of health care costs go to working out billing. That type of insane inefficiency would not be tolerated in a true capitalist marketplace. Imagine if Visa charged 33% commission on every sale and then had a law passed saying all purchases had to be done with a Visa card! That'd be an insane drag on the economy, America's GDP would plummet.

But we literally accept that exact scenario with health care costs. (Except for cosmetic procedures, which have a competitive market that has driven technology forward and prices down!)

> so compression (saving bits) and encryption (giving security properties) are patentable

Which is a huge problem, because now you again need an army of lawyers just to determine whether something is patentable, and can redesign/argue around stuff to make it look patentable even where it should not be.

It would be much nicer if you could say "Here is a mass market consumer grade laptop I purchased at Walmart this morning. Here is the software running on it. Your patent claim is invalid. Your honor, I'd like my legal fees reimbursed and the plaintiff's attorney sentenced to sixty lashes for wasting everybody's time".

There's very little (if any) income at a dealership that couldn't be captured by a state with the right tax structure, and that would apply to a manufacturer owned dealership just as much as a private one.

It seems like the only person really losing in that scenario would be the dealership owner, which explains why they lobby so heavily to keep those laws in place.
Does anyone not know that by now?
You'll be thrilled to know this pretty much isn't true anymore, even with Synapse. My instance is running on a cheap Hetzner VPS with a not very powerful CPU and is currently using about 700M RSS and not much CPU. And I'm in a lot of rooms, some of them quite large and high in traffic.

I'm also not even using Synapse workers at all, just a monolithic instance. Splitting the setup into workers would buy me an additional speedup if things got overly slow.

For those curious about the founding story, How I Built This did a podcast with Ben Chestnut (released July 12, 2021): https://www.npr.org/2021/07/09/1014699766/mailchimp-ben-ches...

Small tidbit: mailchimp was a major pivot into SaaS (before that was a phrase) from another already successful services business (building websites). The team realized scaling a software product was a better idea than selling their time.
The language and everything around it are always changing. Which ways they change involve hard choices. The way things are going, you won't know about a big change in direction until after it is all settled. It is no idle worry.

It is always hard to imagine how this or that corporation might be at odds with what benefits a language user community. But it is not at all hard for any particular corporation to discover such differences, or to act on those discoveries where they can.
That sort of chaining seems a bit like the method chains you have in some languages, like Java streams, C# LINQ and Rust iterators. That sort of "functional constructs when it fits" is getting popular, even if pure functional isn't gaining much popularity.
It is a loophole for lots of laws. Casinos are huge on reservations in states where gambling isn't illegal. There have also been many notable cases of shady payday loan companies moving onto reservations to escape regulations on interest rates and other fair practices around lending.
> ...I think needs time to settle right now...

I hear this on occasion (though more rarer nowadays than in the past)...But curious, is there something specific that you're finding in matrix that is not yet settled? By all means, the beauty of open source stuff is that you get to choose whether you (and your circle of contacts) uses zulip, mattermost, etc...So, i encourage you to use whatever open source offering gives you (and your circle of contacts) what is needed/desired. But with me being such a fanboy of matrix, i always get curious. Would you care to share specifics?
> diesel engines are basically thrown away

Because they're "genuinely" absolutely broken, or "just" because of high aviation safety standards? That is, do they really have to be "thrown away" -- or could you buy one, refurbish it, and run it in your light truck, accepting a slight risk of breaking down on the highway in exchange for getting the engine really cheap?

Maybe they should raise wages, and let capitalism solve the problem.

Military being used as scabs in a labor dispute is a bad look, when we proved students could work from home.
People also get PTSD from killing other people. And militaries go to great lengths to dehumanize the enemy and get soldiers to be more ok with killing other humans.

People still often end up traumatized after doing that killing.

Even at a huge distance, drone pilots end up with PTSD fairly frequently.

So I don't think it's quite so black and white as only caring about things we have attachment to.
... because it isn't profitable enough?

What took so long? Did Apple not know about this in March or was someone sitting on it for 6 months?

The most interesting part re/ movie studios is Disney. I seriously wonder when someone finally brings down the hammer on them... they own the production companies, the studios, the after-market entetainment (Disney World) and so many franchises that they can outright extort cinema owners to licensing terms that are extremely favorable towards Disney.

MCU, Star Wars, Avatar... get blocked from showing them as a cinema owner and you can close shop. Especially with how many new films the MCU alone will bring up over the next years.
