"Nix works on more than just linux."

IIRC the GP comment was asking about NixOS, not Nix. If you have everything already going through managed K8s or firecracker then I don't understand what you are using NixOS for. You could just install Nix on some other distribution that uses whatever init/container setup you want.

"Cgroups in v2 can be delegated easily and cleanly. As well as namespaced."

Right but none of those other things that were mentioned support cgroups delegation at an OS service level, only systemd does. Unless they have added this recently and I missed it. And if you're just using this to run a hypervisor then you're bypassing all that completely.

I don't see what you mean systemd makes it harder, you have to do basically the same process in any container manager if you want delegation. This is part of the design of cgroupsv2, it's not something systemd came up with. I'm sorry if I'm asking stupid questions but I honestly am really confused what your use case is, and your explanations are just making me more confused, so maybe something got lost here.
I’m ready for feature phones with interesting designs and feature sets to make a comeback!
IPSec is based on tens of RFCs with optional features (such as dpd in IKEv1) and more knobs than a boeing 747 cockpit. You get companies as big as AT&T setting up IKEv1 with pre-shared keys and weak crypto in 2021 by default as that’s their template offering for site-to-sites.

BUT the interoperability (when it works) and the native stack implementations (Android, iOS, Windows, MacOS) though nice for admins, is only owing to it’s prevalence in enterprise rather than any superiority as a standard.
Most image boards such as 4chan do not require registration either.
Mathematics is NOT Boring; the teaching of Maths divorced of Real-World Applications is what is Boring. An over-emphasis on Formalism/Abstraction is what is killing people's interest in Maths/Sciences.

The Teaching of all Maths/Sciences should always start with a Real-World motivating example and then introduce the Maths as necessary to Solve it.

In this context see V. I. Arnold's essay; On Teaching Mathematics - https://www.uni-muenster.de/Physik.TP/~munsteg/arnold.html

Quote from the above article:

* Attempts to create "pure" deductive-axiomatic mathematics have led to the rejection of the scheme used in physics (observation - model - investigation of the model - conclusions - testing by observations) and its substitution by the scheme: definition - theorem - proof. It is impossible to understand an unmotivated definition but this does not stop the criminal algebraists-axiomatisators.

* What is a group? Algebraists teach that this is supposedly a set with two operations that satisfy a load of easily-forgettable axioms. This definition provokes a natural protest: why would any sensible person need such pairs of operations? "Oh, curse this maths" - concludes the student (who, possibly, becomes the Minister for Science in the future).

* We get a totally different situation if we start off not with the group but with the concept of a transformation (a one-to-one mapping of a set onto itself) as it was historically. A collection of transformations of a set is called a group if along with any two transformations it contains the result of their consecutive application and an inverse transformation along with every transformation.
There are a couple of reasons why creating a self-hosting compiler can be good idea:

1. Shows to others that your language is capable of a project of moderate complexity, as well as display what an "idiomatic" version of writing code is

2. Remove dependencies on parts you can't control (once you rewrite it in Zig, rather than C++, you don't need to worry about new C++ features or deprecations between versions)

3. Writing code in the language helps catch bugs in the language specification and in the compiler's implementation of the language.

These are just the ones off the top of my head, but people with more PL-Design experience may be able to elaborate.
I've used both for years without any issues, so I'm also confused on this one.
Another saying goes: Past performance is not indicative of future growth.

Years ago I was a quarter mile off shore at Bolinas. I was just on my body board.

This was before I knew about the amount of sharks out there.

I told my chain smoking buddy to hold on to my Bullmastiff. She was at least 160lbs.

I casually noticed black shadows under my board. I thought maybe Batrays. I thought if it was a shark, I'd see the fins. (Wasn't thinking right. Recovering from a nervous breakdown.)

All of a sudden I see my dog swimming towards me. I didn't even know she could swim. They were both just tiny specks at the beach, but she was coming out.

I paddled towards her. We met in the middle. She put her two paws on my board, and we both kicked in. She was tired, and panting.

I got to shore feeling relieved. My buddy said he saw a fin moving towards my dog when she was swimming out.

I haven't been out since.
What do you mean? For international transfers, I just write the account number and it's done for a small fee. It's also reversible.

For national payments I can use the account number, the phone number, or simply the name of the person using an app (vipps). Everyone has it,also elderly people, and it's actually instant and verified transactions for real.
Are you american? You have a pretty garbage bank transfer system. Europe’s transfer usability matches or beat’s cryptos for transfers within the system.

I’m Canadian. I just tried transferring my free Coinbase crypto to another wallet to withdraw and the process was slower than had I done a transfer between my two bank accounts. And much more fraught!
I had a 1600x1200 T42p and loved that thing to death too.
My fav laptop ever though was the original 15" MacBook Retina from 2012. I pre-ordered mine the hour it came available, as I had been waiting years for a good IPS HiDPI laptop. I had never even owned a Mac before that. Mine was one of the first off the line where the display had a temporary-burn-in (very long ghosting for any pixels that are fixed for more than 30 secs or so) issue. I got that replaced no-hassles under warranty a couple of months in.

My eyes were good enough then that I was running it at native 2880x1800 resolution (no HiDPI business), and I was finally happy with the resolution I could get while mobile (I had been using a 30" 2560x1600 as my workstation monitor for a couple of years at that point, and this was an upgrade over even that!)

These days I use a 55" 4K OLED and a 32" 6K Pro Display XDR as my workstation monitors. For anyone considering this, I'd say wait for the 40" 4K OLEDs to come out (or wall mount the 55" and set your desk half a meter or so away from the wall). I sit just a little more than arm's length away from mine, and that's great for immersive flight simulator experience, but not so great for normal daily desktop use. (I'm keeping mine on my desk so I can keep using it along with powered sit-stand.)

As for why it's not so great; it's mostly a resolution issue. 4K isn't enough these days, and isn't high enough DPI for the amount of my field of view it takes up at this distance. I would also be quite happy with an 8K OLED that's, say, 55" or 65"... but only when I can also get one that drives at 120FPS, so that will be a bit of a wait.
Before clicking through, it didn't even register to me that something like this would be done some way that wasn't self hosted.

I'm kinda shocked anyone uses it, I must admit.

I wonder how long ago that "realization" occurred, and if you have since then "realized" how much the market has disagreed with your conclusion, or if you've "realized" the size of the opportunity loss?
Ok how do you use solar in Northern Europe during the winter? For 3 months you get less than 1% of the normal summer output (in most cases you will spend more energy just to melt the ice and snow off the panel)

Also hand waving the storage problem away with “just buy it from someone else using transmission lines” is naive. Basically that just makes you ultra reliant on those other countries that the line goes through of and whoever is on the other end of it. At least with coal and gas you can just ship it from some other party if politics block you from getting it from your current provider.
> lol Uber stock at $48, still well above the IPO. Journalists have been calling for the demise of Uber forever. They need to find a new hobby. Forecasting is not for them.

The article mentions that so far Uber has burned through over $20 billion since 2009 and still hasn't turned a profit.

The article also points out that Uber and Lyft's own projections didn't showed a profit this year.

Unless you expect a company to be perpetually kept afloat by generous millionaire investment rounds, either the cash flow adds up or the current trajectory points to bankruptcy.
> changing default shortcuts from CMD to CTRL. Is swapping the positions enough?

I strongly recommend not to do this.

I did it and it was a nightmare: some of mac's hotkeys are like linux hotkeys but reversing Meta & Ctrl, but not all of them. I adjusted the most egregious hotkeys, but there were always more. This went on for around a month. In the end, it was impossible for me to get used to the differences: my muscle memory would betray me many times over the day, and it wasn't getting better.

Then I deicded to just reset everything back to my distro's defaults. It was painful for a couple days. I made a few mistakes in the next week... and then it all got in muscle memory. I can even switch from working on a mac to working on linux without issues now.
Yep, same here. There's a good interview of Russell Peters with Jordan Peterson where Russell talks about how whenever he would visit some country for his show, he would visit their local places to get a feel of what the people were like so that he could joke about it. That made him more relatable.

A useful currency requires at least some reasonable level of price stability. How popular is crypto becoming as a payment mechanism? From what I see it is actually becoming less popular with time. I saw options to pay with crypto way more a few years ago.

How can people be having this kind of conversation while also claiming this is the state of the art or the gold standard in 2021?

I've been running macos since 2012 and never had such issues. That's over 10 years ago.

Of course, OS X is older than that, and as far as I can tell, it never had such issues.
What do you mean? I regularly transfer money to people from my phone using my net bank, and more often still just using mobile payments. The money is instantly in their accounts and it takes a couple of seconds to type out details.

Compare that to crypto, where buying a cup of coffee takes 3 days, and even failed the last time I tried, where I ended up having to borrow credit from a local. The Cafe only “took crypto” but since transferring such a pain, they actually had a piece of paper with credit/debt notes that people would settle once a month.

How is that shit-fest in any way preferable?

No, those two things go in opposite directions. During the march 2020 plunge crypto fell more than the S and P I think

In a general recession with declining asset values crypto would likely fall more than general assets, and also risks simply having a massive plunge if Tether breaks at the same time.
What Managed Kubernetes Service Is Best for SREs?
I don't really see them as exciting when they are still Intel only. As far as I am aware you can't upgrade the CPU, much less upgrade it to AMD.

I plan on keeping my M1 for a 2-3 more years, then we will have to see what Framework has come up with then.

I like them a lot in principle (peripherals that can be switched to what I need? Yes please. Upgradable RAM? thanks), but I also won't compromise on battery time, performance or "linux works outside the box". Battery time could have been an easy fix if they had made it so I could switch the battery without taking the laptop apart.
Those "pain in the ass" parts are there for reasons like consumer protection and anti-money laundering. If you don't like them that's OK, but suggesting no one should have them seems a little presumptuous.
A bubble in terms of what? If we continue to print money at this rate it won't make sense to short almost anything. Even with highly leveraged assets, if they drop they will only face a temporal correction. I agree with Zhu Fu in saying that by Burry defining himself as a bear, he hasn't achieved anything but underperform the market.
Of course. That's my second point there.

But you can't just say "F You!" and say it's a joke. It's not a "free for all" card.

> Forcing someone to do community service, ugh. Its tough work, IMO, because you do what other people don't want to do, and you need to act socially or physical labor (I'm bad at both, and I'm clumsy). It is never intellectually challenging. People like him would've fared better with a community labor which is intellectually challenging, or just some administrative job at e.g. the tax dept. Which is boring, but at least not very socially demanding.

To get useful labor from a slave, you need to either give them an incentive to do good work, or you need to be able to tell the difference between good work and bad work. A job at the tax department fails that second criterion, and the fact that the labor is conceived of as a punishment rather than a job we want somebody to do prevents an incentive from being offered.
One of the key aspect of blockchains is the fact that they're - by construction - timestamped.
As European I feel SEPA is better and more secure than crypto. I still have to ask for account number, but after that I just log in to my bank insert number, name, date, amount and message. Press accept, then accept any outstanding payments.

With crypto I need to keep care of my keys and the address of receiver might change lot more. Where as bank account number is static for years...

I very seldom sit for long at all, but I agree long times sitting makes it worse. Gratefully I’m up on my feet and out walking my pup regularly throughout the day.

But sitting isn’t the root of my burnout or its tenacity. I worked too hard, sustained too long, through too many mental health challenges, and through too much neglect of my cognitive needs. And now I’m feeling the decades of impact.

I’m glad that you’re finding relief. For anyone else who might benefit: yes, going and doing something physical with your body will probably help if you’re able.

"Trust me this watch makes me very cool!"
Sadly I don't think everyone knows it. My experience talking to people who describe themselves as somewhat involved in crypto trading is that many of them don't realize there is very solid evidence for Tether being a fraud. It being run by known scammers and proven lies about USD backing being the most damning. What I usually hear is: "yeah but they were talking about it being fraud for years now and it's still there" or "the FED is a fraud as well". The former is caused by successful "fud" skeptic shaming campaign while the latter is caused by the widespread ignorance about how financial system works. Both are very common even among otherwise intelligent people.
> Often an operational analytics DB (Clickhouse, CrateDB) might also be a solution

This might be a bit off topic, but speaking of gaps in common observability tooling: is an OLAP database a common go-to for longer-timescale analytics (as in [1])? We're using BigQuery, but on ~600GB of log/event data I start hitting memory limits even with fairly small analytical windows.

In this context I have seen other references to: Sawzall (google), Lingo (google), MapReduce/Pig/Cascading/Scalding. Are people using Spark for this sort of thing now? Perhaps a combined workflow would be ideal: filter/group/extract interesting data in Hadoop/Spark, and then load into OLAP for ad-hoc querying?

Shame what happened to Terrahash (previous owner of L0phtCrack). As someone who has purchased several Brutalis cracking rigs, those things were the most badass machines on the market.

Looks like they sold and committed to a bunch of cracking rigs before sourcing enough GPUs right before prices skyrocketed, and were suddenly on the hook for a lot more than they could realistically pay for. Hopefully Jeremi manages to pull through. It's a fantastic company that makes a fantastic product. I'd love to buy some new rigs when they get their supply chain issues figured out.

Essentially, yes, except that: 1) this is a rough categorization, there's a lot of things out there that do not fit into any single one of the categories (a convertible bond is debt, equity, derivative? a little bit of all), 2) there could be something genuinely new, outside of all the previously known categories, but it hasn't appeared so far in thousands of years (yes, I mean thousands).

> Oh they absolutely do if people buying their shares, their services, employing them, or writing legislation, or just general public attitudes are influenced by this data.

None of this matters if they don't show product development. They have a market to serve and profitability to think of. There's only so much PR you gain out of artificially reducing disengagement rate. You can't seriously believe this is a real strategy employed by a dozen SDCs.

> I don't think this is really a matter of transparency given all the problems with the data and tests we've just identified. When the products and are made available to the public that would be a different matter.

Even if you think self reporting data is a problem, the solution is not to encourage companies like Tesla to continue to be opaque and not comply with rules. Since Tesla FSD is already in the public's hands (with more weekly rollouts planned), it is indeed a matter of transparency.
> Although my experience keeps nagging at me with, "there is not such thing as a free lunch" (skepticism).

Well, yeah, someone had to make the changes. That's the cost that was paid.

You can get a mass-produced machete that is cheaper and higher-quality than a 7th-century sword. It's easy for one thing to be better than another thing across several dimensions simultaneously. That's why certain technologies go out of use -- they have negative value compared to other technologies. But that has nothing to do with the principle that there's no such thing as a free lunch.

From the article:

> There were countless visits to the doctor and to hospital. Each time there would be medical tests. “Honestly, I think it was psychological,” said José. “Edwin had a lot of anxiety, but the doctors focused on physical causes.”

Doesn't look to me like the answer was "tough love" or "go do some gardening", in particular when taking into account he eventually ends his own life.
This really feels like a lack of psychological treatment that might have been needed very early, and just go way way worse as it went untreated.

This group has put so much effort into the open letter, but it's probably not receiving particularly widespread circulation.

Perhaps it would be more effective if this group gathered the detailed knowledge of all the people who signed the letter and published a really detailed book on the current political, social, and economic state of Iran with all the juicy details that they have insider knowledge of included? Surely it would be a richer source of information than the trickle of articles from the single journalist they're upset with.

If it provided deep insights into the nature of the regime, and wasn't just a screed about how the government is awful, this hypothetical book could have a significant political and cultural impact outside of Iran.
