The main arg parser for Rust (clap) was looking at using sysexits for usage but then got feedback from burntsushi (of ripgrep fame) for how rarely it is used and instead encouraged 2. In looking at it, it seems like 2 is the most consistent code and for clap v3 will be using it.

- 2 is "misuse of shell built-ins" for bash [1]
- Python's argparse uses 2 [2]

I feel like we looked at more but can't remember which all they were

Apologies if this is off-topic, but I have a question that may be up your alley:

Are crypto taxes recursive?

For example: Person A gets paid $1,000 BUSD for services rendered to company B. The transaction/movement of crypto from Company B to Person A is treated as a transfer of property and is taxed at 10% for short-term capital gains tax of $100.

Assume Person A wishes to pay these taxes using crpyto, and then sells/swaps $100 BUSD for USD (with no transaction fees). Would this then constitute another transfer of property that would then be taxed another 10%?

I've been having some trouble wrapping my head around how it would like for a person to live a crypto-only life.
I think Zillow is facing a big potential loss on these properties. The homes that I've seen on the market in my area through Zillow/OpenDoor have been exceptionally poor quality and grossly overpriced. They've been steadily marking them down week after week and they're still not selling. Some are now more than $100k below what Zillow paid for them back in Aug/Sept (on a $600-700k home). Even with their fees, Zillow has to be taking a big hit on these properties.

The end of this cycle is definitely going to scare a lot of companies and investors out of real estate for quite a long time. If you're looking to buy a house right now, make sure you're somewhere you want to live for a while. You're probably buying close to (if not at) the top.
The advantage is free insurance if it turns out that the stable coin you picked happens to be a scam. Bringing crypto coin scammers some of that too big to fail money... In exchange governments would get to make the insured coins as regulated and surveilled and inefficient as regular money...

So from the perspective of a tether owner, or better yet tether stock owner who thinks its not a scam, well not intentionally at least, then yeah that would be great. Less loss, and less prison time, and for government, well who wants effective banking right...

Its a terrible idea of course, but the regulation might be difficult to avoid for long, but historically speaking it takes around a 50 years before it kicks in.
There is close all tab (under multiple tabs) if you right click on any tab. I don't know if there are any shortcuts.
Are you sure that command "passes output" to shell which writes it to pty? i think that actually terminal opens pty and passes file descriptor to shell, which passes said FD to new process and it does write directly to it. terminal then reads from other side and renders the received text to the screen. or something like that. shell is not passing the output directly through some buffer.

correct me if i am wrong.
Genuinely, is this attested as the project philosophy anywhere?

Because right now https://brew.sh leads with "The Missing Package Manager for macOS", which would lead anyone to think it does the same as a package manager for Linux, and they're _full_ of developer dependency packages.
I have felt for awhile that the USA should limit the number of homes a company, person, or foreigner can buy, especially in tight areas of the country--for instance the Bay Area.

1. No more wealthy foreigners buying our homes with an email.

2. No one person can own more than 5 homes.

3. Eliminate buying up swaths of realestate by companies period.

My reasoning is obvious. Try it for a few years, and see what happens. Yes--realestate speculators will be crying in their Laginitas Pale Ale. Gorgon Gekko will have to liquidate his Realestate Speculation portfolio. Yes--those parasites with We buy Your Home within 24 hours will be crying in their whatever. Yes--those non citizens who want buy a vacant house in our country will be crying.

It might make buying a home for Joe Six Pack something he might be able to work towards?
Decades of under-building due to restrictive zoning laws will do that.

SSH is problematic for several use cases.

It is easy to future-proof the crypto for anything other than a quantum computer:

Ciphers chacha20-poly1305@openssh.com
KexAlgorithms curve25519-sha256@libssh.org

That is also the fastest cipher for any hardware lacking AES acceleration, but clients configured this way will never talk to older servers (or vice versa).

File transfer is a real problem for SSH. The scp command is being slowly excised because of its security problems.

https://lwn.net/Articles/835962/

The replacement sftp protocol simply does not perform well, and the performance problems are explicitly not a development priority.

https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2010/12/08/making-sftp-transfers...

Redesigns are on the table:

https://www.psc.edu/hpn-ssh-home

At this point, if someone baked the chacha20 cipher into vsftpd (replacing TLS), I would take it for internal use.

Wireguard is also an option, allowing us to simply use telnet and cleartext ftp (promiscuous mode on localhost would be a potential path to abuse).

In any case, people where I work have standardized on scp and sftp for communication between many disparate architectures, and few realized the problems this would bring.
Yep. #2 is kind of a hush-hush way of them fixing a bug that can take a lock on a collection during a chunk merge and fail to release it, resulting in writes to primaries to stop until they are kill -9'd.

Getting into any form of discussion regarding T is unwise.
Yet I wanted to point out something

Mastodon mission has always been to provide users freedom from and alternatives to the giant faceless autocratic exploitative social media.

Or at least that is what I gleam from a search of Mastodon prior to when T ran for president.

To now state for the record that T is not supposed to use the software seems like a politically biased flip.

I also think that it is prudent to wait until launch to critique their compliance.

Usually marketing / legal comes up with copy and its get cut and pasted in.

It -may- change, it probably wont.
We will have to wait and see.

I know I have replaced content for similar things right before someone hits the button and right aftwards.

I hope the organization does the right thing with attribution.

I have not visited yet, and I dont know much about Mastodons code.

If they have configured and setup an instance of Mastodon with their own graphics / content / resources.
Is just that required to be published to be in compliance?

I presume people much smarter than me know they have added features and improvements to the code I certainly hope they share it.

I am 100% sure that there is a giant hoard of high profile lawyers who wants this case now and plenty of millionaires and billionairs who want to fund it.
Mastodon will not have to finance the trials that might come.

Lastly the more T is seen as a martyr being kicked out everywhere the more devoted his cult followers become.
Tipu like his contemporary Islamic rulers carried out frequent massacres of Hindus. Perhaps because it was too common among the islamic rulers that it is often not considered unique enough to Tipu.

There has also been plenty of whitewashingg of both Islamic & colonial-christian history under a "secular independent India". But social media is starting to open up alternative voices, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLMjUk9utaU&t=75s
Sure, but those people and these people are different.

System doesn't seem very secure, but it relies on thiefs being lazy. If this happens 10 times a year, it's couple million pounds - much less than the cost of setting up a more secure (and thus more inconvenient) system. Just like credit card payments are very insecure, but they just charge some extra % in transaction fees to cover the losses.

PS later it mentions that Land Registry pays out $3.5m/year compensating fraud victims, so my estimate wasn't too far off)
This is all in Mastodan's blog post. It hasn't officially launched, but was made public for a bit, people signed up. It was clearly just a Mastodan fork, and it had a terms of service with this in it:

We have very strong social expectations when interacting with mixed company in any in-person setting. And zero social expectations when interacting online, where anything up to and including death threats seems acceptable to many.

Modern advertising enable predatory pricing without significant (or any) financial cost to the predator. There are fewer (or no) protections against predatory pricing in most markets because classical economics assumed that businesses would fail if they deprived themselves of revenue. That is no longer the case.
I hope this bubble bursts.

In less than 3 years the rent in our working class city went up 45%.

Not to mention the absurd qualifications one needs to rent.

4 times the income to rent, very good credit and background checks.

2001 is a marginal case, in that the book was written concurrently with the movie (based on a pre-existing short story).
Its not so much that you can't get the same part in the same form factor: but the markups are insane. We're looking at a 400%+ price swing if you order a 1N4148 from Vishay.

The Diode Inc. price is still elevated from what a 1N4148 "should" cost. Seeing the price spike everywhere else is worrisome.

---------

That being said: I can imagine some poor sap with some tightly regulated circuitry where they wouldn't be allowed to change manufacturers (see: cars), because every part is technically safety critical.

If you tested, and proven safety, with the Diode Inc. 1N4148, you can't just switch over to Vishay 1N4148.
It’s not parked in a garage. Outside, facing southwest, in the Phoenix summer.

Tesla’s overheat protection only works for 12 hours at a time. If I were commuting, then maybe this wouldn’t have happened, but during Covid, the car was just sitting there for days without being driven. Tesla doesn’t offer a way to extend overheat protection past 12 hours, even when plugged in.
Truthfully, I'm starting to feel browser-homeless, for lack of a better term. I'm using FF because I don't want to be on Chrome. I don't have a problem with Chromium based browsers, though, so I gave Edge a try. Turns out, Edge really really REALLY wants me to be logged into my Microsoft account and I am weary of just how tightly Microsoft's products are integrated to the browsing experience. So that's a no-go. Safari's UI is just not for me and it has atrocious plugin/extension support.

I'll probably just find some fork of Firefox or a Chromium based browser and just make-do.

Exactly!

Despite of all the telemetry Mozilla still has absolutely zero clue who their core audience actually is, because they sure as hell are set on decimating what's left of it.

Because updates can introduce breaking changes. And potentially new security vulnerabilities.

> Haskell is the only language where you seem to need Nix

that's not true, at least not in a larger context of available languages. There are C, C++, and a few other emerging language environments such as Mercury and ATS that can benefit from the same Nix toolchain right now, and their maintainers don't have to re-invent the wheel of packaging and distribution, as Nix solves that for them in a generic way.

> is basically a way to confirm "This language has some of the worst tooling I've ever encountered in my life."

For that you need to define criteria that allow you to identify the "worst" example. It is going to be the worst if you expect a monolith all-included distribution that has its own implementation of the same generic dev tooling approach (reproducibility, tracking of dependency sources, versioning etc), such as Rust Cargo or Go Modules. But these criteria won't match with the world where I see every software component to be a generic build instruction that Nix manages to provide regardless of the underlying language compiler.
They are often linked, but they are not intrinsically linked. I'd argue that "often intrinsically" is oxymoronic anyways.

A rise in the specific asset class of housing lowers the dollars ability to purchase housing, I'll give you that. But asset prices hiking in general are not inflationary. It could be because people are chasing yields (probably inflationary) or it could be that there is new information/discoveries making it so that the expected productivity of these assets is going to be much greater, which is not inflationary.
That data is from 2016. It’s rather outdated. That amount of percentage change is rather low for the disproportionate impact it would have, its like convincing others to use a raspberry pi 3 for a gaming desktop to use less energy but ignore the hvac that can be replaced with more efficient energy usage with less of an impact.
Yeah it is a pretty nice place to work. Downside is that we are state employees, so salaries are lower than in industry (sometimes).

I know several people I work with going this route right now, so some people do it!
> Also, the maintainers have a super weird aversion to everything that is "too simple". I've seen packages rejected because "the build process was too simple and there are no dependencies". The excuse was that "users can build it themselves". This is not for silly stuff random people wrote on weekend, this is for 20 year old tools used in production written in C.

wtf? What could be the possible motivation for this? Is their build farm really straining or something?

Can you point me to this example?

> I'm also using download links straight from language websites (Rust, Ruby, Python, DotNet, Haskell).

this sounds downright medieval to me, like why even use macOS for development if the software management tools are so bad that that's what you're doing

... and more channels.

In the dawn of time, also known as my childhood, there were 2 channels. Then 3. TV's had dials and it was my job, like so many other youngest children, to turn them. Then cable came and there were a lot of channels. So many channels you needed the newspaper's TV schedule to figure out what to watch. No more flipping between 2 or 3 channels hoping for something better. Planned viewing had arrived. No more sitting by the TV, spinning through channels, and getting clouted for spinning to fast because you'll break it! And finally, freeing children everywhere from the tyranny of the dial, remote control! No longer chained to the TV, children could return to lounging on the comfy family room chesterfields.

Never forget that cable, and the TV remotes it spawned, freed millions of children from spinning TV dials!
For now at least it's possible to disable the CMD+Q shortcut entirely by setting the option "browser.quitShortcut.disabled" to true in about:config. This disables the keyboard shortcut and makes it so that the only way to quit is to select the Quit option from the File menu which is hard to do by accident.

There is a chance that there are more bugs or next update brings new bugs, my issue is that you give fanboys Beta software and they put others at risk. If someone decides to install some beta OS on is laptop then I am fine but you put beta shit on random people cars?

My solution is to have paid trained drivers to test this stuff and have someone from outside check all this updates, would you trust other car brands doing the exact same thing on public roads???

37 and male. I have built a business I own 100% over the last twelve years that has made me wealthy. The wealth came slow though. I was financially independent by around 30 and it has continued to grow from there.

If you are looking for purpose in life, have children. The purpose of all biological life is reproduction. I can tell you from my own experience that my kids provide me a ton of purpose and direction.

If you are looking for meaning, focus on your relationships. Do DIY projects with your grandpa and dad. Go out to lunch with your mom weekly. Host the family Thanksgiving and Christmas. Help your uncle build a shed. Go on long bike rides with friends.

Outside of those things, I have most enjoyed visiting national parks and camping. I really enjoy construction, I am working on building a shed then an ADU then a full house.

Maintaining a healthy diet and vigorous fitness is critical. Avoid risky sports that could injure you.
Hey everyone,

I am the creator of the Internet Object. I have been silently working on the specs. But due to my busy schedule, I was not very active during the past couple of months. It is good to see all of you are discussing the pre-released format! However, I see many people have presumed many things in the wrong context. I want to share the draft of in-progress specs. It will probably bring in more clarity. Recently I have resumed working on this project again. If anyone would like to contribute Internet Object please join the discord channel (Just created).

I think this is a false dichotomy even though it fits in with the traditional American template.

"Go work in industry after undergrad/masters" or "forgo making money to pursue a PhD".

Maybe it's borne from the bubble of academia, but as I got more experience in industry it became apparent there were many, many more pathways to a PhD than were discussed while in university.
Very well written article, thank you.

When I was designing the programmatic API for my programmer's spell checker [0], I found that it was easy to get an exit code from something else in the stack and if they all used 1, there wasn't a way to differentiate. This is the reason I went with sysexists, so I would have a more nuanced codes to reduce the probability of two processes in the stack returning confusable errors.

It's a feedback loop.

Put someone in an environment where social norms favor civility and respect, and they will generally become more civil and respectful over time. Put them in an environment where social norms favor tribalism and vitriol, and they will tend to become more tribal and vitriolic over time.

That said, I think we should be cautious about nostalgia for how things worked before the Internet. 30 years ago, people in socioeconomically homogenous communities might have been adept at being civil to and empathizing with their neighbors, but they perhaps also had a lot less opportunity to become aware of what was going on outside their bubbles.
