Mathematica uses the golden ratio as the default for plot dimensions; it does seem arbitrary but when you have to pick a number, why not this one?

IMO the spiral stuff is very "seek, and you will find", but at least as a twist on the 'thirds rule' of photography it makes sense to me this way: the mind is always seeking a way to fold things, because if it finds something is symmetric down the middle, it only has to remember half of it. Basic compression. Thirds makes it a bit more "interesting" but even then you're better off breaking the rule: if a pattern looks close to symmetric, we tend to linger on it, as our minds' gears turn to say "is this easy to compress or not?". Kind of like a march vs swing music: an even tempo is easy to match and rather uninteresting, but once you add some entropy and syncopation, it becomes a locus for attention.

As an aside, the golden rule "do unto others as you would have others do unto you" always seemed similar to the golden ratio's definition "the whole line is to the greater segment, so is the greater to the less", anyone else notice that? I always wondered if they're etymologically related.
I remember at the time of setting it up Fedora was the logical choice because they had some of the first support for AMD new graphics card (RX5700?). It was quite stable on my other computer and I recommended it for a while.

Very cool. I have been planning to do something similar on 5 acres in FL. Your location sounds much more exotic! My main issue is I am still accumulating funds so most likely I will need to set up a 501C and have future artists continue my vision.
What invention are you suggesting? Magic? Entropy reversal? Suggesting that climate policy should be influenced by fiction is dangerous.
I'm probably living in my own little bubble, but I didn't know anyone used sftp for ANYTHING, at least not in the last decade.

Looking at my terminal history, scp for a single file, rsync (which you don't need to pass that --rsh flag to.. during the 21st century ;P) for anything that requires the ability to be interrupted and resume gracefully (which is most cases), and, in the rare case when I need speed above all, the "tar lzop ssh bash pipe" trick (I don't know if it has a canonical name) is correct.

Isn't this what we all do?!? If there's a better way, I don't see how, but would like to know.
More than anything else, this is marketing "done right".
Thank you for the rec I'll check them out. It's true Schopenhauer didn't have as many students at his lectures because Hegel was a celebrity at the time. That doesn't take away from his criticisms I still think they stand.

I don't believe in bombastic word vomit, especially when that person deliberately chose to make his prose more incomprehensible.
IMO/IME it's the clash between tooling, systems and and processes designed for running long-term highly scalable and reliable services maintained by teams in multiple geographical locations and used by billions of people; and greenfield projects that just want to get things done at an early stage.

Requiring multi-cluster/region, the quota/resource economy system, handling PCRs, code review, readability approval for complex configuration languages (and the existence of such complex languages in the first place) ... all of that makes sense in a vacuum and all were built to handle real problems and are likely written in the blood of a near-miss outage. But it also all comes crashing down on you when you're doing things from scratch for a relatively simple usecase that no-one really designed for.
Carl Sagan and Arthur C. Clarke both thought that it might.

Considering the big issue as per the article seems to be empty containers, I wondered why the containers were not collapsible and whether that was a "thing". For those wondering about that, this article[0] seems to have some good information.

I also feel so dumb to just realize: Container. Dock. Docker.

Most of the area in those places still has significant zoning restrictions on density--the cap is higher than other places, but there's still a cap. That's why there are still brownstones in Brooklyn.

Second, the economics of building dictate that skyscraper-level density will only happen in places where housing is relatively expensive. But there are plenty of examples of density leading to lower prices, in the suburbs.

> Let people pick the risk they are willing to take.

The (perceived) issue is that most people don't understand the actual risk, either due to marketing, or due to lack of due diligence (potentially made impossible by lack of transparency).

A great example is the "interest bearing crypto accounts" that get 8% back. They're advertised as a savings account type product, but because they're not a insured back account, they're actually a security. Securities typically have big warnings like "THIS IS A SECURITY. MAY LOSE WHOLE INVESTMENT. NOT GOVERNMENT INSURED".

We don't know how safe the funds are, because we don't always know how the company/smartcontract/whatever are generating those yields, and how at risk that is. Sometimes we could know the risk, and the info is just buried in hard to read smart contracts, but sometimes we can't know the risk because the company doesn't disclose.
I'm not exactly your target market, so cannot comment much on the functionality.

One thing that I would like to point out, however, is that you do not address privacy anywhere. I'd be very concerned both with the privacy of the data (and meta-data) the tool ingests, as well as any telemetry you may gather on queries I run.
Demurrage is only an issue if logistics are badly managed. Easier said then done, especially now I know. And still the number of companies, especially in eCommerve just ignore how important logistics is mind boggling.

Swift is really slow for web stuff.

Do you think "we" need something faster than Go for web stuff? Go is already fast enough for most use cases.

Ironically, this was my experience of Fedora 10+ years ago when I dabbled with Linux as a desktop OS. I especially remember spending hours on IRC talking to Fedora folks trying to debug audio issues. I think it was around the time they transitioned from ALSA to PulseAudio.

I give them a pass because their actions seem come from stupidity rather than maliciousness.

Also while this was going on, they never did any of this to Thinkpads.
Thanks for sharing your perspective. I could have better emphasized though that I know there would have been no way for us to have managed as well as we did without having learned some wisdom that came from other people.

Yes, circumstances vary. But I stick to my basic point that wisdom is not shared anywhere near enough, and a lot of the blame for that goes on the businesses who profit from people remaining unwise. This factor is at the heart of a huge portion of the world's problems.
Do you have a threshold for this?

I assume that if your laptop wasn't working and all you had to do was take a single screw out then you'd do it, rather than taking it to a repair shop or buy another.

Or if the repair cost was extreme, but it was relatively easy to fix it yourself.

Your point of view is valid of course. At the same time I believe many people don't have sufficient money to allow them the luxury of never repairing anything themselves.

Having hardware that is repairable is rarely a problem for the end-user who doesn't want to repair it themselves. For users who DO want to repair it themselves, having hardware that's designed to be hard to repair is a huge burden.

I don't care about synthetic benchmarks. And this one essentially only tracks js (and webasm) performance, not the overall performance, not even just web performance as this would entail DOM manipulation, layouting and rendering, which this thing doesn't really do. It may have some meaning when all you do every day is use websites that are mostly compute instead of mostly idle. Only very few users will do that, while most users will use mostly idle websites, me included, and then it doesn't really matter if Firefox or Chrome can execute a piece of code 5ms faster than the other. It mattered back in the sunspider days, when js perf was really bad, and Firefox 3 outperformed the IE of the time by a factor of something like 20. But we're at a state right now of highly optimized js engines, so a benchmark difference saying V8 is marginally faster than Spidermonkey isn't really meaningful over all to me and how I am using the browser.

I care a lot more about "lived" performance, and that's where Firefox performs better for me. YMMV.

E.g. I regularly have noticeable stalls in Chrome e.g. when doing page navigation or just switching already loaded tabs. Nothing massive, but I do not have the same thing in Firefox. I didn't mean to imply there is a real major difference. Firefox is just a little better.

But anyway, since you asked: I just very unscientificially ran the benchmark in Firefox and Chrome just now, wasn't motivated enough to make it entirely fair by shutting down other processes which may "steal" CPU time, etc, and the grand result was... Chrome's score was 1.103x the score of Firefox[0]. Chrome is faster in raw js perf, but at the same time, this is still misleading, I would say, considering the context I provided.

[0] I know that on more high-end systems than this shitty laptop I am writing on right now, e.g. systems like my actual desktop, the difference might be larger[1], but even then it still holds true for me that js perf differences are mostly noise in my daily use, and Firefox edges out Chrome in other areas that I actually notice.

[1] e.g. mozilla's own arewefastyet have Chrome at about 1.4x as fast in JetStream2, and they aren't running this on a shitty laptop like mine. V8 is a terrific js engine, I am not denying that. But js perf is only a small part of the entire picture.

I've had the same issue, I've replaced the battery once but I've found that if you're running any type of workload then ~1 hour is the best you can hope for. Luckily I rarely need it mobile for more then an hour, but I might look into modding the battery.
The main advantage of Silverblue isn't just toolbox (which isn't originally an Ubuntu tool, btw).

The main advantage of Silverblue is its readonly root fs. Toolbox comes as the provided way for devs to be able to work on top of that feature.

I think Debian has/had some energy devoted to turn the root fs read-only as an option (perhaps in order to move to an ostree based distro, ostree being already available as a package in Sid). Hopefully they'll manage to get it working.

Also, please note that it's not a silver bullet. An immutable FS is a good feature for security (both from malicious adversaries and an oblivious self), but of course it's not enough.
Life expectancy (at age 40) and income is very well correlated, though starts to plateau around $150K/year [1].

We know that most of Americans' wealth today comes from the value of their home rather than retirement savings (and/or pensions before that). Look at this chart of housing prices (inflation adjusted) and see if you can tell a difference between when the boomers entered the housing market and today[2].

>carbon emitted per kWh generated

Is it? If an energy source requires natural gas or coal to deal with peaks of increasingly hot days, this doesn't tell the whole story.

If we increase solar or wind to be a primary source, then we need to take into account the carbon cost of storage. Since this doesn't exist, it is an unknown.

Finally, the sun doesn't always shine and the wind doesn't always blow. Carbon emitted per kWh generated assumes it will be operating at 100% over its lifetime. So we will need an over capacity of wind and solar generators. The actual carbon emitted per kWh will be much higher.
Everything apple is vastly more expensive in europe, can't be compared to US contexts. You pay a few hundred more at least for iphones too. Seriously, a good population of people actually fly to Portland to stock up on apple gear, and fly back to Europe or India or other places. No sales taxes in Oregon too so you save even more, sometimes its enough to pay for airfare compared to buying in California even with 10% sales taxes being somewhat typical there.
Slightly off-topic but I deleted my Instagram yesterday. I was really holding out for one person who almost refuses to talk to me on any non-FB property but...oh well. I'm glad to be rid of it, but I can't shake that it's somewhat meaningless and I'll miss the many content creators I followed who have earned my business. I wonder if there's some way to follow them in a way not tied to my identity.
Housing has become significantly more expensive relative to wages, which is where the problem lies.
"few if any gold investors have expectations of profits"

Talk to any gold investors and they will tell you the opposite: they generally expect to at least beat inflation, ie. making profits in real (not nominal) dollars.

"by consumers like jewelers and industry"

Purchasers and manufacturers of gold jewelry buy or build with this material primarily because it's valuable, not because of its physical properties. If they cared about physical properties above value, they would use many of the other metals that have similar or better properties at a better price.

That leaves industrial use of gold, which accounts for only 10% of global gold production. It could therefore be argued, from this blog post perspective, that 90% of gold is part of the "Ponzi scheme", or that 90% of gold's value relies on a "Ponzi scheme" completely disconnected from gold's industrial use.
My father tried to go to a VFW meeting after Vietnam and he was treated like crap by the WWII veterans. These clubs are more exclusive than one might hope. That was a long time ago, but today's Afghanistan veterans may not be getting a warm welcome either. See also how Black WWII veterans were treated at the officers clubs. Not well.

The matter I described earlier still applies too. When neighborhoods have been carefully and deliberately segregated, you don't run into much risk of seeing neighbors of a different religion and color at your fish fries.
> None of those ecosystems have anything comparable to Rails.

Rails has nothing comparable to React or the performance of Go. Laravel and Python are just alternatives to Rails, which suffers from the same issues, although Python has a lot of C/C++/Fortran bindings for some heavy stuff.
If the users had properly set up a PCR notification about the change and registered it to a bigdata instance then they would never be surprised about service discontinuations. The moral of the story is that you can't fix stupid users. /s
Firstly, I believe everyone's intelligent, just in varying degrees. One of the biggest insults you can inflict on others is calling them stupid. Many people take that to heart.

But to answer your question: you typically change your language depending on who you're talking to, to cater to their level of understanding and background knowledge about a subject.

You don't hear me talking about coding to my mother, since she can barely use an iPad. She knows that code is used to make her apps, but that's it. You can't go into high level detail like APIs and encryption, sandboxing, etc with her.

The answer to this dilemma is to have an offset mortgage. Your savings offset the amount borrowed, and you only pay interest on the difference. Once you've saved enough to cover it, you pay no interest.
Yeah I got kick back on HN for expressing this opinion. There's a lot of unexplained reasons why people like each other, dating sites haven't cracked this either. But anything unexplained in this realm now seems to immediately explained with "unconscious bias". I can't explain why I like certain people but can't stand others.

I noticed that AppleCare, which use to be a one-time purchase of 3-year coverage, is now offered as an annual purchase that can be renewed indefinitely. Presumably this means that, as long as I pay my $150 rent, they will replace my logic board, with its failed SSD, for free?
"Do ya think Einstein walked around all the time, thinking people were a bunch of dumbshits?"
Never suggested that. Just that there being buyers matched with sellers (there always are as that is a requirement of a market to exist regardless of its direction in price) doesnt mean the market is bolstered.

However, to me it makes sense that theres some softness in what Zillow tried to do because rates are likely to rise in the next year or so and most people know that. Thats going to put pressure on lending which effects housing demand. Their AI might be top notch but they probably just timed the whole market poorly.

Oh, that's absolutely a big part of it. There was no "reading public". Very few people could read and write. I assume all the repetition has to do with making the stories better-suited to memorization and oral retelling. I don't mean any of that as some kind of put-down of the ancients, it's just a fact that a modern reader is going to find the material difficult, and, even once acclimated to the difficulty, of limited appeal, with few exceptions (and I'd call out Gilgamesh as the #1 exception)
