This sounds so ancient, but I clearly remember seeing the sbrk() system call happening a lot when strace'ing processes on Linux, so it can't be much more than 20 years ago, or maybe much less even. When did allocators on Linux stop doing that? glibc?

EDIT: Never mind, the article answers that eventually, it's still used apparently: "I know that GNU libc does use brk() based allocation for programs that only make small allocations, for example /usr/bin/echo."
> We should also move away from blaming substances or their users for addiction, and look at what's missing in people's lives, at how the world is broken and lacking and how this dysfunction is leading people to seek solace in doing things that make them feel good, even to their own detriment.

I think this is the right spirit, yet inconsistent with humanity. People are silly. They won't always (or even most of the time) do the rational thing for themselves, even when they know what it is. Some people start using drugs to fill a void, while others do it simply because they met the wrong person, or they wanted to see what it was like, or they wanted to impress their peer group, or any other silly reason. For examples of this, look no further than the rampant use of drugs in the entertainment industry. These actresses and rock stars can afford anything they want in life (especially counseling), yet so many still chase highs.

I've been in the situation where the I'm the one who ends up doing C for them after they try and make a mess. It's not fun to work with incompetent people, however nice they are, if you lead the project and have to show results to stakeholders.

It's extra work that you do under the radar, in addition to your own work.

A lot of people coast by at work, so for them it's fine when their coworkers are not good, because someone else will deal with it. It's more of a problem when you're the one taking up the work on your shoulders
> Nothing wrong with that.

Zillow was literally scalping housing, a basic human need that all people must buy. That's generally considered very immoral by most reasonable people. And they didn't just do it once or twice, they did it at ridiculous scale (tens of thousands of homes sold last quarter, was a sale to a scalper to artificially drive up all housing prices).

Most reasonable people would consider this behaviour to be evil (like, comic-book-villain level evil). Even scalping a optional-only luxury item like concert tickets or whatever is already considered unethical by most folks.
Temperature-Aware Electromigration Analysis with Current-Tracking in Power Grid
FALCON is a different beast than the shipboard gravimeters.

Shipboard gravimeters are -- in effect -- extremely well damped/shock absorbed/sprung/mechanically isolated standard spring-stretching gravimeters. Essentially the same idea as Lacoste-Romberg machines from post WWII. The damping is to ameliorate the accelerations from the ship moving through the ocean. Similar systems are flown in aircraft, but they both face the same exact problem: How the hell do you get rid of the background accelerations to measure something akin to a geological signal?

Falcon is a gradiometer. There are accelerometers at the end of a spinning arm -- at least that's my mental picture. Perhaps it's a flat plate with two sets of accelerometers at 90 degrees from each other to measure two gradient components simultaneously? In any case, it is designed to "reject the common mode" between the paired accelerometers. If that rejection is done "successfully enough", the difference in the accelerometers' readings samples the spatial gradient of the gravity field at that place and time.
A whole lot of ingenious engineering, a lot of on-device processing, and a lot of data massaging afterwords yields an estimate of the local gravity gradient.
It's a very impressive piece of kit, and my hat's off to whoever dreamed up the idea in the first place -- even if it was buried under security classification prior to release in the '90s.
> The introduction of political and ideological wars into the world of book publishing and sales is scary, and out of touch with classically liberal enlightenment values.

You think the presence of political and ideological wars in book publishing is new?
Okay, so I'm pretty sure it was done by G.F. Newell (UC Berkeley) I haven't found the paper we discussed in '82 but he went on to publish a 3 part description of traffic dynamics called "A simplified theory of kinetic waves in highway traffic" and reading through the abstracts for those it covers the same territory we were discussing in the systems class I was taking at the time.
"you need to explicitly set up Xft font rendering via X resources"

I hope you can understand that any time you say something like this, or tell people to edit xorg.conf or some other cryptic config file, or tell people to put random commands in their bash profile, or something like that, it kind of makes the software appear to be not really modern or usable. Sorry. (This is not specific to CDE, pretty much all Linux desktops suffer from this bad usability at some point)

Bitcoin is like physically moving gold bullion between (anonymous) vaults. It is not appropriate to compare it to MasterCard, because it has dramatically different requirements and guarantees.

There may be some Bitcoiners who think it should be used for all payments, but I’m not one of them. Centralized payment processors will always be more efficient, especially for the massive flow of low-value casual transactions that the average consumer produces.

The conceptual difference is that Flask etc are task oriented and Nginx is technology oriented. Specifically it's a kind of expanded instantiation of the entire HTTP request cycle with hooks that allow some of the sub-events to be customised.

This sounds like a good thing, but is actually a problem in practice.

Nginx is one of the few pieces of software that has literally enraged me. The configuration process is so obtuse and full of random gotchas where it does what it wants for no obvious reason - with minimal docs - that it's very hard to get it working the way you want to.

One obvious example is that index can trigger an internal rewrite. So you set up a location and Nginx will find your path and index correctly - and then it throws it away and decides to use a different location. Which most likely gets you a 404.

You can stop this if you know the magic words, and no doubt there is a Very Good Reason for it.

But intuitive it isn't.

Nitpick but the reason you fire-sale that house at loss is because you don't believe the market will catch up in your beneficial timeline. The housing market historically has a pretty slow appreciation rate, but one that is fairly predictable. Maybe Z sees the incoming rate hikes as a high volatility event?
I will never understand this position. My life are already chaotic enough without factoring in the work-related part of it, it makes no sense to me why someone would actively invite chaos like the one you're describing. I'm much more excited by solving interesting problems or creating useful things than by having my work day interrupted by a production error that needs to be fixed immediately.
> <small number> of years ago

Half a companies lifetime isn't a "<small number> of years ago" for that company. You can't compare tech ecosystems today to those in 2010, so many things has gotten standardized since then, Google was at the forefront back then.

Unlike modern companies Google had to build out everything themselves since nobody had built those systems or even had experience building such systems. That takes time, but today all of the things Google learned is common knowledge in papers and similar.

If you disagree mention one company that had a one button script that abstracted away things like where the data is stored to ensure failsafe, data replication etc, in 2010. I don't think there was any, just the fact that Google made it relatively easy to launch such services, just that you had to manually configure the replication script and the zones your data should be stored in wasn't really a big deal.
Large whiskers like a cat
It should be a doable effort to implement high-res font rendering - maybe even just the font needs to be swapped out. I think it's great when good software gets maintained and renewed which is the case here as far as I understand even if there are still some things that could be improved. That said, I like the look&feel of CDE, good to see efforts to get this working on Linux.
That depends on how you treat it. If you got it from a faucet 10 years ago, then it's just toy money that you might be able to sell to a collector.

As I recall, 34 is where there were some dracut bugs that caused booting to fail too. I don't think it even depended on AMD or not, but perhaps presence or absence of certain peripheral hardware.

I had a working 34 system that suddenly wouldn't boot after a kernel update, while booting with an older kernel worked. But, this was because the older kernel was installed with an older dracut producing its initrd image. It took a while to sort out before it was finally stable again. During that broken period, a network install of 34 would produce the same result and there would not be an earlier boot entry to try instead. As I recall, one could rescue it with a rescue disk, downgrading dracut, and rebuilding the initrd.

I've been using Fedora since around 2004 I think, and this was one of the rare few software-prevents-boot regressions I can remember (as opposed to me-breaks-config or hardware-fails). It was also an example where the default "quiet boot" obscured what was really going on, as a black screen hiding a bunch of boot activities getting stuck and timing out for many minutes.

How could that possibly work for a podcast? Interview each guest and basically script out the conversation? Or maybe do the interview then heavily edited it?

And who decides what’s appropriately “vetted”? I assume the Covid “lab leak” theory would have been verboten last year but apparently ok now?

I haven’t listened to Rogan in a long time but he basically invites people on and asks questions. He doesn’t give the “Rogan Stamp of Approval” to everything said.

I agree institutional investment into homes is a big issue, and based on our current laws it will drive a lot of people into rental agreements that are unlivable and for the few it'll make mortgages obscenely expensive.

> This is the end game

I disagree with this statement. Firstly, we will likely fix it sooner rather than later. Secondly, if it truly gets horrible, we still have one person one vote. Its not the property owner that gets the vote, its the renter that gets the vote. If you end up in a locality with 100% rentership, they will vote for rental caps, they will increase their living quality through building codes/regulation, and they will vote to remove zoning and the local politicians will follow through because there is no downside to the people in their constituency.

There will still be corruption in the form of state level or federal laws to reduce local autonomy (e.g. with municipal broadband), but thats a problem we already have, and people need to learn to vote for their best long-term benefit rather than ideologically and/or their short term benefit.

Even today, if you want to stop Big Real-Estate from making rentership horrible and keep making housing prices obscene, vote to remove zoning or at the least, vote for zoning that would let the market increase housing 100x. We are all kinda NIMBY regarding the short term, but need to find a way to vote against our short term best interest for the sake of our long term best interests.
the motivation for soldered everything is profit margins and the ripoff prices for upgrades.

Straw man.

There's a gap a mile wide between Ph.D+family+work (which I described as a bad idea) and "Being able to devote every waking hour"

The whole point of graduate school is to have time for intellectual exploration -- reading papers, talking to students, traveling, taking interesting classes, and so on. Grad school was a wonderful time for me, but I can't imagine doing the same while having a deadline to ship a system next week at work or whatnot.

* Family+grad school is definitely okay, if you're independently wealthy or your spouse has a decent income.

* Grad school+work might be okay if the two align, and your thesis touches on your work. But other than that, I wouldn't recommend it.

* Grad school+work+family? That's a waste of your time. You'll get a slip of paper at the end,

But yes, grad student slave labor mentality is a problem, and if you're grad student slave labor, you are wasting your time too, and working for a fraction of your market value where all you get at the end is a paper.

A thesis advisor is an _advisor_, not a boss. I professors job is to _profess_, not to control. And grad school is _school_, which happens to give a stipend, not a job. If you're not using the time for intellectual explorations, you're doing it wrong.
Nice. I have not heard of rubberband. I'll definitely take a look into it! For FFT I believe there is a native fft crate in rust which we'll likely use. I just haven't gotten around to making any spectrometers yet.

We're not using any OSC in the mvp, but I'll keep those libraries in mind.

Someone else is independently working on their own LV2 and VST hosting crate, which is what we'll use too. We may need to end up implementing our own VST3 and AU hosting code when the time comes.

The goal of the rusty-daw-io crate is pretty much what you described in creating an abstraction over Jack, Pulseaudio, CoreAudio, and Alsa. Although I'm going to see if using bindings to RTAudio could save us time and effort here.

Also, what do you use offline audio analysis for? Sounds interesting.
You should probably read some philosophy. There are much more sophisticated and nuanced ways of thinking about government and law than your comment seems to endorse.

Which does kind of beg the question, why did a fast attack sub hit an uncharted seamount? (If that is indeed what happened. Maybe it was "user error" in which case it sucks to be the sub's captain and sonar operator.)
The claim was that CDE is modern, not that is easy to use. TBH i wouldn't really call it modern either, but that is largely because "modern" is a vague nondescriptive term that practically means nothing (and it certainly doesn't mean anything related to ease of use :-P). Helpful for PR and marketing, not so much for technical stuff.

And IMO pretty much everyone who posted here focused on superficial things like how fonts render instead of practical things like what sort of desktop standards does it support - e.g. can it parse .desktop files to fill application lists? Can it support tray icons so that, e.g., if i run Steam i get an icon somewhere for it? How about some more recent standards like displaying application progress bars (where that makes sense)?

IMO think these are more important and a much better indicator about the state of a desktop environment than how fonts render (which isn't even something CDE itself does anyway).
And then they got Steamrolled away if you didn't use them enough.

I use restic -> b2.

And also Vorta (which uses borg) -> rsync, borgbase; Tarsnap -> Tarsnap's S3 (I guess).

Vorta so far has been really good and has lots of potential.

CDE? That's an acronym I haven't heard in a long time. Still being developed? Very nice.

Brings back happy memories of running oddball screen resolutions on X Window. 1000x800 I think. Definitely not 1024. Monitor couldn't do 1024. But it could do 1000. The 800 number is hazy but in the ball park.

One thing I did notice was the fonts. Those pixels.

Time to fire up CDE for some nostalgia.
I guess the question I would have is - and this isn't meant to come across as though I have a preconceived answer - what evidence do we have that legalization (plus, for instance, a ban on marketing) would actually increase usage? I know it's intuitive to think it would, but is there data? We do know for a fact that usage of many hard drugs is increasing when illegal. And this is on top of all the negative outcomes associated with making it illegal - guns, gangs, prison, felony convictions. Is making it illegal slowing the uptake? By how much? Is it making the problem worse?
This article and most people I have seen so far, get the concept of metaverse wrong. It's much simpler conceptually (though exceptionally hard technically) than people understand.

The metaverse is the result of instrumenting the real world to capture and interact with the data the real world provides. Think "Digital Twin" of the world that refreshes at 100Hz.

It's not a place you go, it becomes the landscape you live in, because everything becomes a data source.
I was excited to learn about `mosh` through your comment because I'm dealing with X11 connections dropping out when IP addresses change.

Turns out that it has been a github issue since 7 March 2012 with no progress or assignees: https://github.com/mobile-shell/mosh/issues/41

Anyone have a robust way of forwarding X11 from a Docker container from a remote host via ssh, even when an IP address changes, or a connection drops?

(Right now I'm typing this in a Firefox container running on Docker on a minimal virtual machine, ssh'd from my workstation, so I can use any version of anything without having to `trash` my workstation.)

What makes you think that legalisation would mean social acceptance?

It doesn't.
Part of Rogan's schtick is conspiracy theories. There's a lot of "just asking questions" style conversations where he tries to build up this idea that the "officially approved" narrative has a lot of holes, which he often uses to insert an alternate opinion that isn't subject to the same scrutiny.

His anti-vaccine content is a perfect example: He invites actual experts on his show, but then interrupts them and brings up an anecdote about a "guy I know" who had some vague symptoms after getting the vaccine.

The listener is then supposed to believe that the pro-vaccine expert is uninformed and simply parroting the official narrative, whereas Joe Rogan is the smart one who sees the big picture and can "tell it like it is". In this case, Joe Rogan sees that Vitamin D and a healthy diet is all the protection you need from COVID and that the vaccine should be avoided.

But it's often nonsense. Rogan's vaccine opinions are not just unvetted, they're built from the ground up on a foundation of flimsy anecdotes and conspiracy theories with a complete disregard for the science.

He plays the "both sides" card to build up the anecdotes and conspiracy theories while tearing down the well-researched science in order to create an illusion of presenting both sides fairly. But to get there, he has to go out of his way to downplay the most robust information while exaggerating the least trustworthy.

It's not about having different opinions. It's about misrepresenting the robustness of each.
Into this discussion I will drop the following points:

1. The creator of the VLC media player was apparently offered "tens of millions" of euros to insert ads. Thus, if your software is sufficiently widely used, that is the kind of temptation you may eventually face.

2. He said no. So there do exist people who will resist such temptation.
