In my experience, some universities/programs still expect these ancillary duties even if you're self-funded. If I was a cynic, it would lead me to believe they are just trying to get cheap labor out of grad students.
Really interesting article. Thanks for sharing. I was going to ask which tickers you short so I could continue learning, but I see it's RIOT and MARA. Just curious: is it intentional not to mention them in the article?
I LOLd out loud when I saw it
Reminds me of the sci-fi book Children of Time. It follows the cultural evolution of a species of intelligent spiders. When they're angry, they vibrate and shake the web a certain way. In larger meetings, the spiders all share a single web, and private "whispers" are subtle plucking of private strands between two members.
I can empathize with this to some extent. I realized that homebrew is too slow and bloaty for me, so I decided to write an alternative from scratch (also meant as a learning project).

Eventually got discouraged by the sheer amount of real-world workarounds and corner cases that need to be accomodated rather than some inexplicable technical hurdle. And broke up with my long-time girlfriend.

Now I have little desire to go back, and things just feel meh. I play basketball sometimes to keep my sanity.
> It's common to bind-mount various system directories or UNIX sockets into the container.

it’s not that common, in production systems anyway.

> Also, does it matter when you're running a full OS inside the container anyways?

Containers famously don’t include an operating system. They use the host’s kernel.

> Hosting providers is a tiny slice of the pie, most Docker users are simple end-users looking to run random internet software. (E.g., Docker is the only way to install third-party software on LibreELEC, a simple media center OS for the living room TV.)

I don’t believe this is true. I would wager that the overwhelming majority of containers are running in the cloud or in data centers.
Readers should be reminded that Zoom also censors some Zoom meetings, preventing them from being held. This may not be very wide-spread, but it does happen:

The government did not need a new law to prosecute a 'coin' dealer who took pains to distinguish his offerings from U.S. currency.[1] The Treasury stance just underlines how arbitrary and unfair the government was in that instance, and how inconsistent it is being with that precedent just a decade later.

> open-source license to a Code of Conduct

Just a minor note, a license that works this way can't be accurately described as Open Source. It's more accurate to say that ml5.js is an Ethical Source license. See https://ethicalsource.dev/ for more details.

I'm sure this is a name that will get debated as it becomes more common. But personally, speaking just as an outside observer I really like the name Ethical Source. I think it gets across what the movement's priorities are (open access with ethical restrictions). I think it gets across the movement's connections to the Open Source movement and its origins. But it does so in a way that doesn't promote confusion around the fact that the movement does have different philosophies and is a separate licensing scheme. It's a movement that sprung out of a specific objection to Open Source licensing philosophy (https://opensource.org/faq#evil) and makes a targeted pivot (Open->Ethical) to address the concerns it has.
That is completely and absolutely false. Newer mobile devices are not getting weaker, they are becoming more powerful and have processors that are often more powerful than older desktop or laptop processors. These optimizations aren’t being made because newer mobile devices are much more powerful. The new iPhone has 6GB of ram, proof the direction is that nobody will care about optimization and will create and use more bloated toolkits and CSS, and adding more analytics.
If you want to champion a law that impacts someone's fundamental rights as a citizen, rights protected by the US Constitution, it's your duty as a fellow citizen to consider the impact of that law on everyone, and to show that you've taken appropriate consideration as to the first and second order impact of your proposal.

Implementing a voter ID law in the way being pushed right now will disenfranchise people, and it seems like every time an example of an impacted group is brought it, they are summarily dismissed and their existence minimized as "edge cases" or mocked. e.g. "What, are minorities so dumb they can't get an ID?" or in this case "What, did the dog eat your voter ID?"

But it doesn't change the fact that this law you are pushing will take away their rights. What are you going to propose to make them whole, or did you not think it through that far? It would just be nice if you would demonstrate you are as concerned with disenfranchising your fellow citizens as you are cracking down on suspected and heretofore yet unproven massive voter fraud.

> At what point do we get to actually discuss the merits of validating a person is who they say they are so they get exactly one vote?

Well, it would be nice if the side claiming massive systemic voter fraud would prove their claims. That would be a good starting point. Then we could have actionable fixes that address a specific problem to minimize collateral damage. I just don't understand why we have to engage in a massive civic project that will strip rights from citizens under literally no burden of proof for those making these claims.
But Homebrew didn't used to be that way when I started using it. And with some fairly small changes it could go a really long way to supporting more users. TBH if I had the time, I would roll up my sleeves and do it myself.

The whole reason that I used Homebrew to begin with in 2014 was to help mitigate these problems.

I think there has been a cultural shift away from being more useful for a larger base of users, to being optimal and "clean".

The least it could do is confirm before it makes irreversible and sometimes breaking changes to your system. I don't see any good reason to delete your distfiles after potentially installing an incompatible package. And compared to most Linux based package managers, Homebrew makes big changes to its interface frequently, which makes it a headache to keep up with. Just look at how much casks have changed in the last two years.

Anyway, when I felt I could no longer rely on Homebrew, that was the last straw for me dumping macOS.
God I hate "crypto". It's all a big fucking "get rich quick scam", all of it, without exception. Hopefully I will cash out at the right time (probably not).

It won't be surprising to pretty much any Indian. When was the last time you visited the country?
Postgres from Homebrew used to work extremely well. It was faster and more reliable than Docker, not to mention lighter on your machine.

Now, it's unusable.

I would start with reverse engineering!

Reverse engineering (whether it be web apps, mobile apps or games) gives super powers to those who master it. As nowadays everything is digital and more and more controls are put in place by the monopolies, knowing how to break and modify digital things is primordial.
It means that becoming the CEO of a transnational corporation is a pretty strong filter for effectiveness, and the comment I replied to is probably not in the spirit of their advice.
Most security you'd encounter in India doesn't even carry sidearms, just Lathi sticks or batons.

At a guess you've seen the police with rifles at high value terrorist targets - airports, major stations, national tourist attractions/monuments. Such locations will have police with SMGs or assault rifles in most other places too, including places like the UK where police are rarely armed otherwise...

Is it really a terrible idea to restrict your software from being used to control weaponry? To spread lies about science, like climate change denial or vaccine lies? To host child pornography sharing?

These above scenarios amount to handing criminals and bad actors powerful technological tools which allow them to increase harms done to society. This is a software company's choice, there is no law that states a company must provide its software to whomever, even if they have evil intent.
Rape is already illegal. Claiming there's some exemption for trans people etc is just really obvious agenda pushing on the level of "gay people are all paedophiles" or any of the other lines bigots spout off hoping to get their hits in before anyone can think rationally about it.

What sold me on Ruby/Rails in the first place was its comprehensive test and deployment framework that worked out-of-the-box without having to make too many choices or develop those things independently. That was truly revolutionary.

But everything else eventually caught up and surpassed the Ruby/Rails ecosystem on the requirements->deployment pipeline, and did a lot of other things better.

I have a real soft spot for Ruby but I won't be back.

I'm in Australia, never watched baseball, consider it un-Australian when I see baseball being played on the local cricket ground etc — really no baseball fan. (Although I did play softball briefly as a kid.)

Even so, a couple of years ago I looked at Ring Lardner's You Know Me Al (1916), and couldn't put it down until I'd finished. Extremely engaging writing, very highly recommended.

"The book consists of stories that were written as letters from a professional baseball player, Jack Keefe, to his friend Al Blanchard in their hometown of Bedford, Indiana. ...Jack Keefe is a headstrong, gullible, cheap, naive, self-centred, egotistical and uneducated rube—but he has a strong pitching arm. ...In his barely literate letters home to his friend Al, he details his first experiences in the big leagues, which ends in disaster as he pitches poorly and gets sent back down to the minors again. Later, he is accepted again by the majors where he gains some success as a pitcher, but is taken advantage of by nearly everyone he meets. ...Much of the humour of the book is from Jack's boastful, oblivious nature, and his utter inability to recognize when he is being manipulated or cheated.

...Lardner was a sportswriter who relocated to Chicago in 1907, where he covered the Cubs and White Sox baseball teams for several city newspapers, most notably the Chicago Tribune." "His contemporaries Ernest Hemingway, Virginia Woolf, and F. Scott Fitzgerald all professed strong admiration for his writing"

Part of the mismatch between statistics and what one observed is surely social class. Most people I know are also a normal weight (I think) but there other parts of the city or country where one will see many overweight people.

Another part is that people often don’t know what an overweight or obese person looks like. That is, people hear the word and think of someone who waddles instead of walking or who takes up two seats on an aeroplane or who needs a mobility scooter to get around. But the actual boundaries are much closer to normal weight and often lie inside what we think of as normal.

I was mostly referring to the fact that filesystem kind of enforces hierarchy, so you have it even if you dislike it.

Rliable: Better Evaluation for Reinforcement Learning – A Visual Explanation
One vote in favor of macports here. I first went from homebrew to nix. Nix was fine, the concept is great but I found the language to be difficult. Ports is closer to homebrew in its simplicity, and has a big catalog (including much of the scientific stack that was removed from homebrew).
I feel you're on the right path, reading and learning are good ways of finding things you'd want to give your time to. (Although there is that feeling of aimlessly letting time pass in part of the Russian literature which might resonate with your own condemdrum - although it's liked to a very interesting political context)
If you're lucky enough to set aside the "How am I going to get enough money to live the next X weeks/month/years?", it frees out that much time to answer the much more interresting questions : "What do I love enough to spend all this time time doing ?" "What would I like to understand and/or change about the world?" Volunteering to causes you discover you care about, be it open source projects or walking dogs for old people or anything in between can feel great!

Happy birthday

Hello everyone, Motor Admin creator here

Last year I've been searching for some administration engine for my Rails side project and I was not able to find a suitable option.
I hate writing a ton of custom code for internal admin/tools so I decided to write even more code to build a general-purpose, no-code Motor Admin

Motor Admin allows to convert raw data into a powerful admin panel to cover almost every operation needed for most businesses.

Features:

- CRUD out of the box with many customization options

- Custom data reports with SQL

- Business intelligence dashboards with fields and variables

- Forms builder for custom workflows to integrate with API

- Report alerts via Email or Slack

- User roles and permissions

- Audit log

- English, Spanish, Portuguese UI languages

- Works nicely on mobile screens

Motor Admin is distributed as a single executable binary - it can be easily self-hosted on Heroku or via Docker. Also, it's possible to try it locally with binaries for macOS and Ubuntu Linux.

Would be glad to receive any feedback or answer any questions regarding the project.

You could try working backwards. Take a look at the hiring posts from this and several months back. See what types of jobs / positions / companies take your fancy.

Then figure out what technologies / techniques / background information you need to know to get those roles and work at those companies.

Then learn that.

Let your interest in the broader goal/scope/role drive what you learn.

Note that you can also do this with a hobby / free time. If you want to learn some technologies outside of your work, you can start picking up things to try that way as well.

Chinese version of Fortnite to close in Nov
I actually enjoyed Battlefield Earth. I enjoyed the movie because I immensely enjoyed the book. I almost always like SF that in large part written from the point of view of aliens. And some scenes in the movie were quite additionally surprising in showing the character of alien protagonist.

I know native speakers can't not cringe on this movie. And there's an issue with who the author of the book was and what he did. And people can't get out of human perspective while watching this movie and can't believe how aliens can be this stupid to underestimate humans. In the book it's way better shown that aliens have as little respect for and interest in humans as workers do for the monkeys when the go out to clear the jungle with bulldozers and quibble between themselves over pay and job security.

Book have many detailes way more flashed out, so knowing stuff from the book, movie looked way less stupid to me than to average viewer.
I switched to Macports back in my Mac days, used it as my daily driver for about 18 months before moving to Linux.

Macports has this appearance of being 'dated', and not the cool kid compared to Homebrew. But it doesn't have an opinion on what version of software you can install. Want postgres 9.4? Go ahead and install it. Want some ancient version of some other library? That's fine.

Dealing with custom port files and repositories isn't quite as easy, I suppose, but that's not really much different to setting up a debian repo in that it's a use case you won't encounter nearly as often as just installing stuff.

I also used nixpkgs at one point, many moons ago. That was also nice but not the most practical on a Macbook with 128GB storage, when you also have Docker, npm/ruby dependencies, and your native Mac software in the mix.

A tangent: it dawned on me only a few years ago just how little power LED lights use compared to most other things we do with energy. I never had a good intuition for this, so I was surprised when I noticed that keeping my smartphone's flashlight active at full power doesn't noticeably drain its battery - in stark contrast to even keeping the screen on (and thus the phone's CPU awake).
