How Some Social Media Accounts Short-Circuit Your Ability to Think Rationally
The concept of the metaverse is from books describing a dystopia. The fact that people unironically and without context refer to it as part of a vision that deserves to be made reality is so depressing I cannot adequately find the words.
All other things being equal, yes.

Ceteris Paribus is a thing in economics. Basically what he means is that if you optimize everything in your business, all that remains is what is outside the bounds of the law, if you cheat, you'll win, basically forcing the other to cheat as well.

Also, all big businesses cheat tax, either by using creative licensing agreements between subsidiaries or by miscategorizing things. This isn't new.
I doubt either parties remotely represent any of the Founders ideas.
It matters because it means the community or another publisher can pick up where the original one left and all the data is still there. Or you can build an alternate world and carry users over.
When my daughter was at school several years ago, they rolled-out biometric fingerprint scanning for school meal payment. I steadfastly refused to let her be enrolled as I didn't feel that a child could give informed consent on their unique biometrics being stored and shared.

She ended up having to use a NFC smart card instead, and wasn't the only pupil to do so (although it was in single-digits in a 1,000 pupil strong school).
Around half a million innocent Afghani and Iraqi civilians died in Afghanistan and Iraq during those wars.

I dont understand why the American news media neglected to report on that.

Another interesting observation:
Halliburton ran the supply chain for both the Vietnam war and the Gulf wars.

Not alot of sympathy from me for that guy.
His argument is basically it's not worth doing it "Because vast part of 21st century emissions come currently poor world".

That seems like a rather odd stance to me, effectively he is saying it's too expensive for us as a rich country to do and at the same time expects poorer countries to do it - how can they manage that if it's already too much for the richer countries?

If you think that’s chilling, read the essay “Engineering the Human Soul” (https://sinocism.com/p/engineers-of-the-soul-ideology-in), by a long-time Australian China-watcher. He asserts that Xi Jinping though follows in a direct line from Stalin and Mao.
There is this myth out there that ZFS is not for desktop/laptop. I have no idea why this is. There is no reason for that thinking. The developers of ZFS were using ZFS on desktop literally before it was finished, it was always intend to do both desktop and servers.

Its just that Solaris and FreeBSD systems were primary servers. If ZFS is the best file system, why not just use it?

I would really like to use native encrypted ZFS and then to encrypted backups with 'zfs send'. I would like good check sums, snapshots and all the features of ZFS.

Its simply overall the best system, I don't think there is really series competition. And the FS is one of the single most important parts of a OS. ZFS could be a major reason why people move to PopOS.
> Mixing older users with Roblox’s traditional crowd poses other safety risks, such as the possibility that young children are exposed to predators or recruited by extremist groups

The article makes it sound like Roblox hadn't always been open for anybody to join and potentially cause harm, which makes me thing that whoever wrote it probably didn't spend much time on actual research.

Setting that aside, from what I've seen of the roblox community, it seems to be a bit too detached from the rest of the development world, so while it can be a good starting point for young people to start learning about programming, there isn't much outside know-how in the community to show people how to advance their skills based on decades of trial and error; instead, they are left to develop bad practices that could make it harder later on if they decide they want to take programming beyond just roblox.
kdb+/q was originally heavily used in finance/trading, but nowadays also in IoT/IIoT.

> restrictions on the architectural design

That's not the equivalent of saying 'classical architecture is beautiful', that's the equivalent of saying 'no architecture except classical architecture is beautiful'.

Is St. Peter's Basilica ugly because it is Baroque? Is Notre-Dame ugly because it is Gothic?

Come on, far from me to espouse the "neoclassical bad" twitter-tier nonsense take, but the claim that only neoclassical should be allowed is... weird, Trump or no Trump.
If he didn't deliver that speech, they would have found someone else to do it (and he would have been fired). The responsibility lies with Bush and Cheney, not with the messenger.
> what is the problem with this branch of reality?

We put all of our points into the commercialism tree rather than focusing on enjoying existence
Ignoring the price issue for a moment. This is not a better situation. We have gone from one platform with all content with adverts (cable), to one platform with a lot of more relevant content and no adverts (Netflix), to N platforms with some content and some adverts (platform dependent).

Even if you were subscribed to every single streaming service it's now a nightmare to manage, not only do you have N payments you now have N different apps to search/browse.

Say you have 4 shows you like release on a Monday across 3 different apps. You now have to navigate your way through multiple different apps (with wildly different UIs) just to watch the things you want.

With some nice automated piracy they just download get indexed by your platform of choice (Plex, Jellyfin, Kodi, Raw filesystem etc..) and they are all available in one place with minimal fucking about.

Sure you could achieve the same with some kind of unified stream aggregator UI (kodi can do this already to an extent) but that'll never fly long term with all providers as the streaming companies would miss out on that sweet sweet userdata (only having what was watched/when/how long) and control.

The only real benefit streaming platform have right now is the lack of ads vs. cable. But remember when cable launched? It didn't have ads either and I wouldn't expect streaming providers to remain ad free either. I give it 5 years before at least 50% have ads somewhere whether in the UI or before/during/after streams.

So then we're back to piracy providing the best service to the consumer, ad free, unified UI, and most importantly all the content.

I'm honestly unsure why the music industry hasn't splintered into a million streaming services and Spotify reigns supreme. While Spotify is terrible for Artists it is a bargain for consumers. Imagine having to load up 2+ separate applications to listen to a single artists back catalogue simply because they changed labels at some point.
Hopefully cnn staff will join him. They helped push a lie that killed 981,000 innocent civilians which half of were children. Rott in Hell. Now they turned it on us.
The chess/go analogy is so weak it's misleading.

The claim is that Amazon competes on a per-service basis, while CloudFlare is competing by flanking with related services.

It doesn't really make sense.
Totally missing the main point of the article. FB is actively leading people down a dark path. Your mall or convention centre doesn’t so that, but FB’s attention-optimising algorithms do. FB must be very happy for people to bang on about free speech and hate speech because then they’re not looking at how FB actually works.
Anecdotal evidence, I know... But there were several things that just didn't work right for me on vanilla Ubuntu that Pop made right when I switched 3 years ago. Mostly graphics related in my case.

I think it's important to remember that System 76 has been "making Linux work on hardware" for over a decade now, which is a totally different mindset to building a distro than most maintainers have.
I highly recommend to take the time. First, I find Bryan's presentation style very engaging and fun to watch. The short recap on language history is also quite fun.
I also would not consider myself to be part of any Rust hype, but the language has sparked my interest once again.

My TLDR: Rust is a great systems language, however in-kernel C code in itself is very safe, its the ecosystem (drivers, firmware etc) around it that could benefit greatly from being rewritten in a safer language.

> Nevada (47,322)

> Washington (46,791)

Architects very often don't design for human scale, but for their career and fame.

Human scale may be removed for some or other architectural aesthetic feature. Stuff becomes like abstract modern art. And not just on buildings, public spaces too.

An example. In this picture [0] you see the busstation of Haarlem (the monumental train station built together with Amsterdam Central station is on the other side out of view).

Now in the old station you could sit everywhere, dry and out of the wind. New station, none of that. No benches and you wait in the rain. Yet it cost many millions to build (contains an underground bicycle depot). See the tall (they have a small yellow light at 15 meters or so) aluminium poles? Architecture.

Pretty much the same happens in Firenze, Italy.
What I really liked in the early days is that there was more interaction with the host, because you often rented a room in their place or a part of the appartment, while they were still living there. Lot's of interesting conversation. Nowadays it's just business for a lot of hosts, they don't even bother welcoming you and put the key in a keysafe.

@dang, any way you could automatically dedupe BBC links? They redirect you to bbc.co.uk in the UK and bbc.com outside, but it's the same link.
The bah-humbug skeptic would have a number of points to question even without questioning the woman's veracity:

1. "As she arrived there, the voices told her to go in and ask to have a brain scan for two reasons—she had a tumour in her brain and her brain stem was inflamed." The article says they found a tumor; did they also find inflammation in the brain stem?

2. What was the media culture like during this era? Hallucinations are highly culturally informed; was there a pre-existing reason someone who was hallucinating would be disposed to hearing medical diagnoses?

3. How often does this happen? If only one person has ever hallucinated -- or otherwise predicted or pulled from thin air -- a medical diagnosis and that one instance was correct, that is one thing, but if thousands and thousands of people have heard a voice conveying a diagnosis, or cast the bones, or read the cards, and most of them are wrong, it makes it far more likely that one or two people would get it right by chance.
In practice, for single-machine workloads, it's currently mostly numpy and/or whatever deep learning framework you use that does the number crunching.

This means that provided the code is operating on sufficiently large amounts of data (such that calls to numpy are each of sufficient duration), the multithreading in BLAS / Lapack within numpy usually give you weak scaling wrt to thread count without any tricks.

The issue however is that this require by hand making everything into structs of arrays from arrays of structs, removing as many iterations from python as possible, potentially balancing thread usage within python and within numpy etc. By this point IMO your "python" code looks more like Fortran or SQL with better string IO...

13 Rules of Leadership

First printed in the August 13, 1989, issue of Parade magazine,[41] these are Colin Powell's 13 Rules of Leadership.[42][43]

It ain't as bad as you think.
Get mad, then get over it.
Avoid having your ego so close to your position that when your position falls, your ego goes with it.
It can be done.
Be careful what you choose. You may get it.
Don't let adverse facts stand in the way of a good decision.
You can't make someone else's choices.
Check small things.
Share credit.
Remain calm. Be kind.
Have a vision.
Don't take counsel of your fears or naysayers.
Perpetual optimism is a force multiplier.

I think there's a universe where there is no overlap between engineers/PMs who work on the actual DB product and website/content marketing site.

The marketing space is filled with all kinds of "plug and play" SaaS providers which offer detailed customer journey data and sometimes it's just straight up easier to add an "accept all" consent banner than to try and allow for hot loading specific 3rd party libraries based on customized consent options.

Is it the right thing to do? In my opinion, no. But I can also understand a situation where decisions were made on marketing tech before understanding the technical privacy implications. And then the implementation is handled by a team (potentially much smaller) that does not work on the actual product.
Patiently awaiting the ever present "skeptics" to debunk this with "peer-reviewed" studies rather than just appreciate unique unexplainable things happening in our unique unexplainable world.
Colin Powell is a textbook case of "A thousand 'Atta-boys!' and one fuck-up!".

He joined the Army in the 1950s, served through 2 tours in Vietnam, and made it all the way to Chairman of the Joint Chiefs by the end of the 1980s, leading the military through Operation Desert Storm and the post-Soviet era. That's a rare career for ANY American, let alone a black one.

But all that went "poof!" after his shameful performance at the UN in 2003. Agreed that he should have resigned in protest instead. What an ignoble reputational end to an otherwise amazing role model. RIP Sir.
"They would have found someone else to do it" is not and never has been a defense for evil, especially at this magnitude.

Someone else could have been the messenger, and Powell could have also resigned in protest and become a whistleblower.

Instead he lied, deceived the public, and unequivocally supported the wars.
That argument didn't fly for people at a similar level of authority at Nuremberg.
The point is, after a while of getting told "No, I'm not going down in history as that guy. You set up optics that disincentivize doubling down on the poor behavior, whereas capitulation only reinforces it.
Liar and an accomplice in the death of so many.

I am sure he hasn't profited from any Military contract, or the influence he had from the office he occupied.
Are we evaluating the wisdom and virtue of people's actions based on whether they keep them in the limelight? Just because your protest won't necessarily win out doesn't mean you shouldn't mount one.
It's still a shock. I never thought he was that old.
just because others were ALSO responsible doesn't absolve him of any of the responsibility of all those deaths.
Honestly that is all I wanted from them. Taxi service with a well designed universal phone app with map routing and payment. I guess the established players figured out they didn't need a thing like that but it looks like they were proven wrong.

Not those other tools because you can't achieve Postgres functionality with those other tools generally.

Postgres can pretend to be Redis, RabbitMQ, and Kafka, but redis, RabbitMQ, and Kafka would have a hard time pretending to be Postgres.

Postgres has the best database query language man has invented so far (AFAIK), well reasoned persistence and semantics, and as of recently partitioning features to boot and lots of addons to support different usecases. Despite all this postgres is mostly Boring Technology (tm) and easily available as well as very actively developed in the open, with a enterprise base that does consulting first and usually upstreams improvements after some time (2nd Quadrant, EDB, Citus, TimescaleDB).

The other tools win on simplicity for some (I'd take managing a PostgreSQL cluster over RMQ or Kafka any day), but for other things especially feature wise Postgres (and it's amalgamation of mostly-good-enough to great features) wins IMO.

I know it's a stretch and I don't want to Godwin the discussion too much, but that is really not an excuse. The Nuremberg trials clearly rejected this "Nuremberg defense", but of course it was the beaten party standing before the court back then.

But in principle, since 1945, no one can evade personal responsibility for a clearly unlawful act by pointing to superior orders.

As Powell's chief of staff Col. Lawrence Wilkerson once recalled, that speech resulted in a resumption of hostilities for a war that already received Security Council approval back in the '90s - the original war never stopped, as no truce was ever agreed to, only detente. North and South Korea are in a similar state of detente. Powell's speech itself was an effort to receive political support for reengagement.
Marketing has lied, the whole country is shocked. More news at 11.
I'm a huge cloudflare fan. Massive advocate for them but when I do see this talk of them as a new kind of cloud platform I cringe a little. Are we going to under go the same lock-in like experience we've had over the years by using very bespoke closed sourced systems like workers and durable objects. It's one thing to buy into something that does have wide portability like a postgres but much harder to buy into the platforms that aren't open source.

I don't really see rising through the ranks of the U.S. military through the 70s/80s/90s as particularly praiseworthy either. Powell did the job he did at the UN because he was a company man and had been for a long time. And in addition to a few tut-tuts and a black mark on his record, it also kept him in the good graces of the Washington foreign policy blob, with all the sinecures, speaking fees, magazine profiles, and mostly-hagiographic obituaries that come with it.
