You're teasing, of course, but it shows the real problems.

To take you up on that with a dangerous example that reinforces the point:

To add a disk to an array whose used space is less than the capacity of a single disk, you can (DON'T DO THIS, IT'S DANGEROUS)

(1) remove a disk from the array (it's degraded now)
(2) reformat the single disk, put all data on there
(3) create a sparse file with the size of one disk
(4) create a new array with N disks, in place of the temporary disk use the sparse file as a device
(5) remove the sparse file (the new array is now degraded)
(6) bring the new array up, copy all data from temp disk on it
(7) replace the sparse file with the temp disk
(8) copy files around to make them re-balance

Congratulations, you've now grown your array, and put your data seriously at risk in the process! :)

But seriously, just how much is too much when it comes to steel subsidies, and just how much EU can tolerate its steel industry failing so hard to upgrade?

Rather than subsidising, say, buying new, more efficient blast furnaces EU countries basically just spend few hundred dollars extra of taxpayer money per ton of steel.

That could be because somehow it's managed to become the default init on all mainstream distros, leaving few good options for those who would prefer to avoid it. I don't want to use a distro whose main raison-d'ètre is avoiding systemd.
That would be a nice problem to have.

No, the issue is despite disclosure two of them still aren't fixed.
I've tried both approaches. Some palaces are one topic only. Others have been reused >5 times. With the reused palaces, with intention you can sequential recall just that topic. It's the same as having a party at your house. You don't confuse what happened at the party versus what happened when you were just cleaning your flat.

With "random access" memory within a multi-use palaces, then, there is a little mixing. Sometimes you are thinking about a topic, the mind "goes" to the appropriate palace and then you recall maybe all the various unrelated topics, but your mind focuses on what matters. In the mixing, topics take a mythological feeling because the characters within them are involved in so many stories. Like fables or comic books.

Augustine of Hippo (later Saint Augustine) from 354 AD:

And I come to the fields and spacious palaces of my memory, where are the treasures of innumerable images, brought into it from things of all sorts perceived by the senses. … When I enter there, I require what I will to be brought forth, and something instantly comes; others must be longer sought after, which are fetched, as it were, out of some inner receptacle; others rush out in troops, and while one thing is desired and required, they start forth, as who should say, “Is it perchance I?” These I drive away with the hand of my heart, from the face of my remembrance; until what I wish for be unveiled, and appear in sight, out of its secret place. Other things come up readily, in unbroken order, as they are called for; those in front making way for the following; and as they make way, they are hidden from sight, ready to come when I will. All which takes place when I repeat a thing by heart.
Do they not put thermal sensors in the CPU? My laptop gives a temperature for each individual CPU core. Whenever I start a heavy CPU task I instantly see a temperature spike. The theory that the thermometers are in potentially useless spots doesn't match my observations.

Sounds like classic gatekeeping to me. Do you get to decide what is a POC and a product? What qualifies something to be one over the other? Tests? Some other technical aspect that feels "producty"?

On the other hand, I have a XPS 15 9500 I use with Linux all day and never had an issue with anything. Always suspends, never wakes up by itself, no hardware issues... My work 16" MBP on the other hand killed the battery after one week in "suspend" when I was on vacation, probably due to the Power Nap functionality, which sounds pretty much like the Modern Standby being talked on.

My interpretation of what they were saying: NFTs are a worthy means of supporting artists but have been tainted by the other breed of artist (the scam artist).

I would extend that by suggesting that NFTs should be a valid means of supporting new artists. The problem arises when people dump garbage into the market to make a quick buck. This will ultimately diminish the long term value of NFTs, meaning there is less value for those who are trying to make a living from their art (and even for those who are trying to make a living investing in art).
Absolutely. I'm surprised this isn't marked as critical.

I am quite confused. I thought Windows 10 “fast boot” was hibernation and default “shutdown” behavior. I thought Windows 10 startup times were faster because of hibernation shortcutting the real boot sequence.

This might be a stupid question, but is it implicit that these "submarine cables" are all fiber cables? If so, are they of similar or very different bandwidths? I would think there are cables of differing ages that are used for different things, or are all non-fiber cables taken out of service long ago, or are they just not included on the map?

Also, the "Polar Express" cable on that map is fascinating, but it seems like it's not planned to be completed until 2026.[1]

How to Create Readable End-to-End Tests with Cypress and Cucumber
This is one of the most laughably ignorant posts I've ever seen on the internet.

> Btrfs has had no real work done on it since then, and anyone that is actually serious about data storage has moved to ZFS, or has left POSIX filesystems entirely

Btrfs is the most actively developed filesystem in the kernel, both by LOC changed and the number of contributors. Facebook publicly stated that they run BTRFS on every webserver years ago.

ZFS is an antiquated joke. It is wed to the memory allocator in Solaris, and requires that you permanently reserve 1GB of RAM per 1TB of disk space, which is an impractical constraint in the modern world. ZFS is also full of cute little wasteful "innovations" like 128-bit file size support.

For those looking to see an example of the match expressions:

https://github.com/mvdnes/rboy/blob/9f6b3bc47311ba687326bfff...

This process of matching on opcode and doing a marginally different version of the same basic few operations on one of a set of registers is something that is _much_ easier to do when you're able to see all the opcodes and activities in a densely packed set of lines like this.

(The start of the opcodes that I linked are not the best example of this, but they get more regular the further down the file you go. See https://github.com/mvdnes/rboy/blob/9f6b3bc47311ba687326bfff... )

Beyond knowing that they exist, I haven't explored macros in rust, but I'm curious if they could be of help here. But using cargo fmt, and spreading each of those lines into 3-10 lines would be awful, and would definitely lead to me making mistakes and not noticing typos.
If you tell me you have spent thousands on an NFT, then I will assume you are an idiot. And I'm sure lots of other feel the same way. So not a great status symbol.
The Right's Snowflakes Are Banning Books
You might already know this, but WASM isn't even at a stage where it can replace JS. Bindings to the browser APIs are currently done through a JS bridge, which can be pretty slow.

I've lost track of the process (there were several proposals) so I'm not sure where we're at now.

I guess not much changed, so the current state of WASM is mostly for porting and running non-JS code (such as Go's here) in the browser.

It's also faster than JS (if passed through an optimizing compiler) so it might be useful for non-IO-bound code.

Outside the browser it's being used as a sort of universal bytecode (a la JVM). https://wasmer.io/

>What concerns me is the hypocrisy of the modern GNOME team and how little they listen to the actual community using their DE.

Please remember: GNOME is a loosely connected group of volunteers all working on what they want to work on. If one person says they're prioritizing something and another person says they're going to do something else, that's not hypocrisy, that's just a difference of opinion. I know it may be confusing when one person says one thing and another person says something different but this is something you have to get used to in open source, it's not like a company where the CEO tells everyone what to do. Some developers may choose to listen to certain community members and may choose to ignore other community members, sadly that has to happen in any project where the wider community outnumbers the developers. Every interested person can't get their way all the time because resources are limited.

>They claim to respect your freedom, but force you to use Flatpaks and obfuscate their own code to prevent you from getting consistent app theming

This statement doesn't make sense to me. Flathub lists the license of the program and most packages are open source. And I have no idea what you mean by "obfuscate their own code" or "consistent app theming", could you elaborate? The suggested way to get consistent app theming is to stick with the Adwaita theme, if you're installing custom themes then that's guaranteed to be inconsistent.

I thought the same thing when I found out about that, but it kinda makes sense.

Facebook tries to show you the most "interesting" posts. If you are a member of many groups, there are probably too many posts in your groups to show all of them in your newsfeed. So Facebook just picks whatever they think is interesting.

Or the poster can pay to have everyone see the post.

Disappointed by the downvotes here. While formatters help in most instances, sometimes you should break convention for the sake of emphasis or readability. Anyone here can come up with a good example for themselves. Consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds. Patterns and rules help but no rule should be absolute, judging people's quality of code is like judging people for their dress or their vocabulary. While they are important they are certainly not sufficient for a judge of one's character.

Furthermore, no one stops you from developing an app and planting RCE vulnerability inside the binary. Then you can exploit it remotely when necessary and execute the code that exploits any iOS vulnerabilities known to you.
Great! Pretty sure this is not controversial among the voting public.

However, the lawmakers will never vote on a law to ban trading on non-public knowledge because this kind of insider trading is frequently the reason they’re in politics in the first place. We have long since passed the time where community service drove public officials to run; it’s all about getting rich. Even the few true believers like Bernie Sanders can’t help themselves from dabbling a bit; and he’s basically the exception that proves the rule.

Money as a concept is even less anchored in the real world. So is the law. The two have been dancing together since first human society. We have thousands of years of experience with this, and cryptocurrencies don't introduce anything new here, despite what some advocates may think.

As long as you can use something - be it a coin, a bill, a SWIFT transfer, a blockchain transaction or a Nuka-Cola bottle cap - to pay someone for something, and a third party would be able to identify it as a purchase, same things will happen. A criminal will be able to take your purchasing power and use it themselves. A taxman will be able to collect a percentage of your trade, and men with guns will take you in front of a judge if you refuse.

The manifestation of value doesn't matter, because money isn't a thing, it's a shared belief.
