> This always struck me as weird thinking. If you aim for sustainability and longevity, shouldn't you use technologies that have stood the test of time rather than the latest and shiniest pieces of tech?

Because the fact that the things likely to last the longest into the future are the ones that have already lasted and not the newest, most-apparently-forward-looking is counterintuitive to many people.

Or because they recognize that, but recognize that its also likely that something new will do even better than the things that are already old but that the hard part is picking the right new thing, and they think they have unique insight on the right new thing.

Or because they realize they probably don't have unique insight, but gambling on new has the best payoff if you are right, whereas the upside of choosing COBOL because its still trucking since the 50s is...you have job security eternally working on a COBOL [0] code base.

[0] And this generalized to all the metaphorical COBOLs out there in various domains, as well as actual literal COBOL.
I am not the OP but openvpn in its default UDP mode, with long timeouts and frequent keepalives set on both client and server side, works quite well on unreliable connections. All of the crypto available in whatever is the latest version of openssl is available for use. If setting it up in a new config these days you would want to limit it to TLS1.3 and associated cipher suites only.
First of all, don't install Python packages with OS package manager, period. Never do that. Use "pip install" instead.

Second,Python ecosystem/tooling is a mess, so isolate it if possible. One way to do it is Conda https://docs.conda.io/en/latest/

I understand that's not always possible as a shitload of soft has now Python as a dependency, but still.

And the last. One package manager seems to be missed in the discussion is PKGIN/PKGSRC https://pkgsrc.joyent.com/install-on-osx/ It is the native package manager on SmartOS/illumos/OpenIndiana/OpenSolaris, NetBSD, and Minix. It is stable and fast. I doubt you get your GUI soft there tho.
Ah, the laughs (Xoogler since 2020).
It was a lot easier, at least last year: you'd use "flex" quota from your PA pool (product area) for Spanner and Borg, write some code for your server, a few configs here and there, and you'd be ready and serving.
The word solitary was used more than once, so I don't think it's a strawman. My point is the quality of the final output is going to be suspect if you take the "leave me alone and let me code" approach.
Why? Is there a reason behind this principle or is it just dogma?
IMO the issue is not the capabilities of the terminal, but rather the culture around it. It is very often seen as a "leet" platform for hackers and advanced users. Its users looked at with respect and envy. Which is unhealthy for the kind of adoption one would wish for in their apps.

Really, I think this mostly requires imagination from those of us developing for this platform. We have all the capabilities we need. We just need to create apps that don't require you to look up cheat sheets and man pages to use, and provide powerful alternatives to existing GUIs. There's a bit of a renaissance in this area as of late, but I feel this is just the beginning.

> when I say the main character of the Ramayana is a bit dull, one dimensional and treats his wife terribly.

On the mark there. What about the character of Krishna (an amalgamation of 3 tribal gods)? Especially the little child Krishna?

From the perspective of the story Mahabharata is superior, but the Ramayana has some great characters (Hanuman, Lakshmana, Sita, Ravana).

The Mahabharata's heroes are weaker characters, except for Krishna IMO.

> massive government incompetence and a breakdown of communication is propoganda.

The difference is that many of us believe that the authoritarian communist style of government they have causes these issues. No one believes that the US government of the time causes small pox.

Now there maybe a good argument about the profit motivated system not placing sufficient value on human life over growth & exploration.
let's amplify that signal and use it for music?
> Most people see potholes on their street and publicly complain that the government is terrible

yet the 320,000 person city next door here has a TWO YEAR backlog of street fixes, I was told. Property taxes are as high as any place in the USA. There is no shortage of money, retirement 401k and medical care for city workers. Of course they also play the sub-contractor game a bit, not as bad as corporate on that one.

We don't need to change the behavior of most people on the planet: we need to change the behavior of the wealthiest people (and corporations) on the planet. It should be a smaller project than directing a lot mass towards L1.

One of the problems is the wealthy misdirecting the blame to "average people" and that we all just need LED bulbs or EV cars or what not. Those are drops in the bucket of industrial carbon waste and always have been. All the finger pointing "it's the consumers' faults, we just need them to buy the right things" is marketing/propaganda at its finest.

(Well and also bitcoin/cryptocurrencies have managed to claw back every individual gain anyway in LED efficiency or hybrid/EV gas mileage, so it may take a few more people to convince to stop investing in those schemes. Though there again it is rarely the "I own a couple Satoshi" masses that need to stop it's the biggest and wealthiest miners. And yeah stopping the wealthiest miners would destabilize the currencies because of the Ponzi scheme effects they are built on top of, but that's why it's a lousy investment and, uh, too bad? I'd rather keep the planet than the silly digital money, don't know about y'all.)

Convincing a couple hundred billionaires and couple hundred massive crpyto mining farms to stop should be a much easier problem to solve than the orbital mechanics of a massive L1 project. The fact that we don't think that it is probably says a lot more sad things about our sociopolitics in this age than we'd like it to.

(ETA: That's assuming of course we aren't already on the wrong side of snowball effects and stopping entirely now would hit a hysteresis effect. Pessimistically, sure, it may be too late. But if we are past that "point of no return" a sunshade can't help us either because the snowball effects likely happen even if we lessen the additional energy pouring in from the sun.)

Everyone looks at the FED, but there's an interesting counterintuitive hypothesis out there that it's not actually the FED that has anything to do with inflation. In the 1970s, it was international credit creation by banks that was not tracked by the FED that caused persistent inflation (and their attempts to control it were futile since they were not tracking it), and now it's actually the government stimulus combined with the supply shortages that caused the inflation (like the pre-1955 era) - and the inflation will not last beyond this spike since it's not the FED that actually controls it, it's the intermediaries in the financial systems and the banks and their propensity to lend (which is still low relative to pre-GFC).

So the FED can do all it wants, but ultimately it's the other actors (banks, financial institutions and government in the form of transfers) that will ultimately decide the fate of inflation going forward - right now it's looking like disinflation/deflation after all of the stimulus and supply shortages work their way through the system (can be seen from the long end of the yield curve).

The FED's actions can and will affect the markets however - but that effect is mainly psychological.

> If your kitchen looks like a kitchen and not a chemistry lab or oil refinery and you're starting with things that are identifiably food, you're probably good to go either way.

Well, the flip side is that if your kitchen looked like a chemistry lab, you'd be able to make better food. The difference between cooking and chemical process engineering is that the latter actually cares about quality of outcome.

There's a lot to be concerned about with what the food manufacturers are optimizing their products for, but reducing it to "processed = unhealthy" or "chemical sounding names in ingredient list = bad" is just like saying that the only real art is finger painting, everything else is not art.

The same conversation at Netflix 10 years ago:

I want to serve 5TB of data.

Ok, spin up an instance in AWS and put it there.

I want it production ready.

Ok, replicate it to a second instance. If it breaks we'll page you to fix it.

The funny thing is, for important stuff, we ended up doing similar things to what you see in this video, but for unimportant things, we didn't. I think it was a better system, and it was amusing when we hired people from Google who were confused by the lack of process and approvals.
Not yet, however people have been PRing in Ubuntu images, I just snagged them even though they're not merged.

I agree with you that it's a sensitive topic from both sides, but people should focus their negativity on the belief and not the person holding it.

About the Bible, it's actually not as arbitrary as you might believe, because almost all examples of Biblical passages that are dismissed (like circumsision and not wearing some wools or whatnot) are in the Old Testament and are explicitly not required to follow in the new Covenant with Christ.

Marriage is however repeated multiple times in the New Testament as well.
I have read the books. The entire series a few times now actually. I enjoyed them immensely both for the story and some of the ideas that are played with throughout.

They'd make terrible, boring TV.

I'm glad they've not attempted a shot-for-shot remake of the books as a TV show, and instead chosen to adapt by taking some of the core ideas and (thusfar) general gist of of the stories and turn them into something. I'm glad I get to explore those ideas further and put my head in that world a bit more. I like that they've added some other interesting ideas to play with.

I think the moaning is just the same general thing that comes up any time anything is adapted to screen. There's a huge contingent of people that, for some reason, seem to treat the source material as some holy text that's never to be changed instead of just being happy that some of the good and interesting elements are being carried over into a new story.
Sounds like something a software update could fix. Probably a scenario that was never tested.

> 1. Sex is viewed as a civilizing force. It brings Enkidu in to city life after being a wild man living among animals for example.

I partly disagree.

Sex is what cut Enkidu from its wildlife friends, but it was not enough to bring him to the city life. After he spent a week soaring in sex, the animals would't recognize him as one of them, that's all.

IIRC, to enter the community of humans, once rejected by the animals, he had to stop being naked and to drink beer. The final touch was to defend the herds from predators. Then he was civilized enough to go to the city.

The Windows console is a bit more sophisticated than the traditional *nix "shuffle text back and forth" approach; the Windows Command Line blog goes into some detail here (and in the rest of this series): https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/windows-command-l...

Short version: there is support for ANSI and VT sequences in the Windows console (which relatively recently got substantially expanded), but that's not what it speaks "natively"-- for Win32 console applications, there's a native console API that works by passing IOCTLs back and forth between the app and console driver.

(If you're writing a terminal emulator for Windows, you don't necessarily see this-- the new ConPTY mechanism you use to build these as of Windows 10 abstracts away the Windows specifics so you see text and VT sequences just as you would on *nix.)

Agreed. Furthermore, Rust is/was imo a controversial language - early on some argued it was "too difficult" to write "real" applications in it.

As far as "faithful to the literary work", while the first one did a pretty fine job, it would bee an understatement to say that it didn't stay the distance especially past Azkaban. (Azkaban which is ironicaly form me is still a great movie on his own as the screenplay is in my eye a sweet wink at back to the future II)

Almost all modern TV in the Scifi & Fantasy tropes relies on the the Hero's Journey. It is very hard not to use it especially if you want a large audience. To faithfully recreate Foundation for TV, you'd have to make a fake documentary and that just doesn't draw enough people to make the budget work

I see a few comments asking about supported database backends, suggesting they understand how Motor Admin works. From reading the website and the github Readme, I still don't know how it works. Surely it must connect directly to my database, but I couldn't find anything to actually confirm that. It just tells me how to run a binary or docker image. I'm sure I missed something, but I thought this information would be obvious.

It would seem the language is understood quite well, but the cultural context of its use not so much.

Akkadian is a Semitic language, quite distantly related to Arabic and Hebrew, etc. So we know what its siblings turned into, and we have a vague guess for what its unwritten ancestor was like. There are also some surviving bilingual and trilingual Akkadian texts especially in the later period. That includes with Ancient Egyptian, Ancient Greek, Old Persian, Aramaic, etc., which are all understood to varying degrees.

It's interesting to compare to Sumerian, the language of the people who the Akkadians learned writing from. It's not related to anything else known. We only know it through Akkadian bilingual texts, and texts teaching Akkadians how to read and write Sumerian. (Sumerian went extinct by around 2000 BC.) Now Sumerian is much more poorly understood.

Tablets is are sometimes found when cities fell or buildings were abandoned, basically frozen in context. In this case, the letters were excavated from one of the large homes in Sippur near the temple, which had three rooms full of clay archival tablets seemingly related to the life of an important, sometimes-wealthy priest-administrator, descended from a line of them. Chief dirge singer was indeed some priestly office related to public performances of ritual song.
My main memory from working on SGIs in the 90s was the mess with mixing 32 bit and 64 bit libraries and such. It's long enough ago that I don't remember the details, but I remember it always being a pain to compile stuff because of having both 32 and 64 bit stuff present on the system.
I enjoyed the realpolitik of Expanse but hated the trite interpersonal conflicts which seems to be a mainstay of modern drama. I find the main characters to be rather childish.
> Hardin is now a "warden"!? Literally, the character with one of the most memorable sayings in all of literature "violence is the last refuge of the incompetent" is now all about violence. That's nothing less than a betrayal of the source material.

They even pissed on the source material by having Hardin's father remind her of the saying and have her explicitly dismiss it.

That's called a proprietary software license. Usage restrictions disqualify software as free software or open source. This kind of restriction makes me cringe, and I wish someone would just defy these guys and dare them to actually take the issue to court. I don't think they would.
To clarify, in this case "long since" means 8 days ago.

I have worked with many fine people that I liked quite a bit on a personal level, but were not very good technically. It is a very dangerous situation to allow yourself and your employer to go along with. Over time you will have a team full of very nice people with a middling skillset. You aren’t doing the company, the team, the product, or yourself any favors doing this. If a role is not a good fit for somebody’s skillset they either need some coaching or a different role where they can flourish.
It's not that it's arbitrary, it's that 1. it isn't univerally adopted, and 2. those that try to adhere to it don't have the same understanding about which things qualify for which categories.

sysexit(3) defines a contract that calling programs would find useful to rely upon — to do different things when programs exit with different particular values. But because of these human factors, calling programs cannot rely on it. There's no signal in the noise. The contract is not enforced.

This goes from just useless to actively harmful, because the process of 1. finding the sysexit code standard, 2. thinking you can rely on it; 3. writing a program that does rely on it; 4. finding out that in practice its contract is rarely obeyed; and 5. ripping that code back out of your program — all takes time and human labor. The existence of this "standard" thus creates net-negative utility. It consumes people's time to no useful end.

Consensus and urgency among a vast majority of world governments.

Just OPEC may be enough, but there are a lot of non-OPEC controlled oil reserves, and OPEC controls haven't always been super effective. If OPEC announced (and held to) a coordinated reduction in production of say 5% a year, I don't know if other sources (or OPEC defectors) would make up the shortfall. A strong signal of reduced availability/increased prices of oil would increase motivation to use alternate energy sources, some of which have reduced emissions.
What about applications that just reference “python” (or any other dependency), without specifying a particular version?

AFAIK homebrew cannot automatically modify $PATH before starting a program such that $PATH points to the correct dependencies for that program. If you have multiple versions of some dependency installed, it is up to you to run `brew switch` before running your program to manually set the correct versions for each dependency.
