The recommended way to use NTP is to run a daemon which will continue to run in the background ensuring your clock is accurate and to have it reference multiple time sources (or a known stratum 1 source, like an atomic clock, WWV station, GPS, etc).

If you're just syncing your clock once at boot, Google's time servers are probably fine to use, any time server is probably fine to use. Your hardware clock is going to drift over time but lots of times that's perfectly OK.

A pool server that's off by an hour would get kicked out of the pool within probably 20-40 minutes and not allowed back in until it was reporting the correct time for a reasonable duration. The current pool monitoring seems to go at a cadence of around 20 minutes to cycle through all the servers validating them. You can have a look at the log of the monitoring of one of my NTP pool servers: https://www.ntppool.org/scores/165.227.219.198/log?limit=200
Yes, that is true, but all of them are built on top of their cloud integration which is optional. If you did not utilize their cloud integration and disable remote administration (it's off by default), you are basically equally at risk as any other "Linux" box on the Internet based on the versions of software running on the device.
1.) Even in cases of extreme poverty, people will put in significant effort and sacrifice to secure some degree of privacy, because it's a basic human desire

And yet, if you look at our actual history, the levels of privacy available to average and poor people were far, far less. In the middle ages, entire families shared the same bed, if they had a bed, or otherwise slept all huddled together. Even complete strangers in inns and other public accommodation would sleep huddled together at times.

Not to say that there was zero privacy. However, there was far less. Much of this was probably motivated by availability/economics.

Many modern claims of "basic human desire" turn out to be a "Flinstones" view of history. Many things are constant across time and cultures. However, there are also some factors which are vastly different.

2.) ULTRA-METH PSYCHOSIS

That's kind of straw-mann-ish there. No one is saying everyone homeless is in ultra-meth psychosis. But the large numbers of people so affected in varying degrees are going to skew the statistics of how many take the extra effort and expense to have their own tent.

That is absolutely false and a lie for multicore processes, real world usage, and programs that I use. This is an enormous lie, unless your workload only consists of synthetic benchmarks that are Intel optimized and ignore the gains from other hardware like premium DDR5 they use to set these sythetic benchmarks.

> * Adding logical registers breaks backwards compatibility, or at best means you get no speedup on things written (/compiled) for fewer logical registers. Adding physical registers lets you improve performance without recompiling.

> * Adding logical registers increases complexity for people writing assembly and/or compilers. Adding physical registers moves that complexity to people designing CPUs.

These two points are the same thing: compatibility and compatibility is what Intel and AMD have lived on from day one with x86. It's why we still live with this really weird instruction set with all of its historical oddities. Certain features of real mode weren't removed until long into the 64-bit era. Adding things isn't any better: If you wanted to add more add more registers, you'd have to change instruction encoding and the instruction space is finite (actually limited to 15 bytes.) That would be rather disruptive.

It's not in the specs, but there's breakdowns of the whole Mustang Mach E drivetrain by Munro Live on YouTube, and they get into the battery pack, inverter, everything else. This is the rear motor out of the Mach E, minus the inverter.

The Mach E battery pack is 450 volts. So after going through the inverter, it'll be a bit less than that, but still very high.

Almost all commercial non-DIY EVs have quite high voltages, 300 and over at least. DIY EVs tend to use lower voltages but at higher amps.

EDIT: though it would not surprise me to find that you could run this motor fine at lower voltages but with higher current

Gacha model is the worst of F2P and not that prevalent on traditional gaming platforms.

Most console & PC games are offering a mix of cosmetics, DLC, and battle passes which are incredibly straightforward about what you get for your money. Battle passes are just subscriptions rebranded with the auto-renew turned off.

I also think the success of Genshin will dampen gacha in the future. You now need a triple-A game budget to command the gacha prices Genshin asks for. In the past, you could make that money selling pngs in a mobile game.

If anything, I think F2P has been improving its value proposition over time.

Rudderstack user here (and ex Segment). Thanks for sharing this stuff, very cool project.

Just to answer some of this:

- rudderstack has deploy ready helm charts, which I'd argue are significantly better than docker compose or docker setups because they set up all the other niggly parts. Would be cool to see that here :)

- rudderstack has gone quite far away from replacing segment. It's true that their core API is compatible and I think your transformation layer is really cool. However it can be used for those use cases because rudderstack doesn't really care about users or user IDs and can be used for any sort of data generally.

There's a piece in the docs talking about the fact that you don't get caught by adblock - whilst this may be true when someone launches it, that's not true of your platform. That's just the fact that a lot of smaller businesses will not get their URLs added to the ad block lists. I think it's a bit misleading to mention that in such a way because technically we're all tracking users and ad block is a way for users to choose not to be tracked, not be tricked into being tracked because someone has masked the tracking script ;) if a huge client (a la Adidas or something) decided to use your scripts I'm sure someone would eventually add it to the ad block lists that get propagated.

One of the things that would be cool would be some sort of opt in configuration. Segment has some awful consent SDK that is really bad, would be cool to see what you do there. GDPR is a big deal and browser fingerprinting is data processing. It's worth looking at your comments on being GDPR compliant btw https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2018/06/gdpr-and-browser-finge...

There are other sequence types than lists in elisp and pretty much every other lisp out there. And what do you mean with "Not being [able?] to operate on a sequence"? [0] contains a bunch of functions for operating on sequences, and it's notable they don't say list but sequence in their signature. They work on multiple types of sequences, not just lists.

I do agree on dynamic scoping by default, that's a major weakness in elisp.

Vanagon Syncro owner here! I can’t imagine ever parting with mine.

My stated plan is to convert it to electric in 2025.

There’s good progress being made forging a path - see the DreamEV guys on YouTube for a currently ongoing 2wd Tesla vanagon conversion. They documented all the steps, are pretty entertaining, and just finished like 2 weeks ago.

If I was to do it now, I’d go Tesla engines front and rear to keep the AWD and ditch the engine and both diffs, which are the most troublesome part of the syncro anyway.

In 5 years, who knows. Maybe I’ll transplant the parts from a scrapped 2023 Cyber Truck!

This statement seems to have always been technically true. What does control mean?

It seems that the public doesn't really care about this.

This statement also seems to have always been technically true.

The only reason they're defending their shit is prestige at this point.

The system was originally procured by city administrators who had way too little understanding and experience dealing with IT projects.

The contract was awarded to one of the big consultant behemoths who specialize in winning government contracts and executing them shoddily.

Parents hate it, because it is shit.

Anyone in the industry with a brain hates it, and laughs at it, because it is shit.

Elected city politicians hate it, because it is shit, and their voters are constantly telling them it is shit.

But the vendor is of course defending their contract and the sweet, sweet tax money they're getting.

And the people with power to actually do something about it, unelected city administrators, are defending it, because they feel they have to double down on their earlier shit decisions.

> The part about programming languages frequently not having tables is interesting. The closest as mentioned is the hash, but you lose so much in that abstraction eg the relational aspects. The counter argument then becomes the obvious: why aren't you using a database library, or in a pinch, sqlite? Rightly so. Why would you add relational tables to python rather than have a generic python database spec or a collection of database connector libraries. Databases are separate and large projects in themselves.

This is covered in the article, in the distinction between "code-first" and "data-first". Databases means that you leave the interaction with data to a third party, and the only thing you do is send commands and receive results. This is very different from having all the data in your program, and starting from that. I'm not sure if "code-first" is the right word from it. Perhaps another way to put it would be that when data is the most important thing, you don't want to encapsulate it in a "database object", you want it to be right here.

Not him, but generally to large extend I have that strategy and kids do well. Both have good grades and are motivated. Obvious caveat is that if their grades were not good, I would get involved more. When their grades fallen a bit, I was there telling them that they need to learn, analyzing test with them and so on and blah blah. When homework was not done, I got involved for a while until the kid got into habit of doing it. Other obvious caveat is that when they ask for help, I always come in to help.

The thing is, hands off approach really works and motivates kids - but it still requires attention and correction. And it does not work with all kids at all ages.

Most people remember 15 years old self and assume kids all ages are as mature as they remember themselves. Meanwhile, most 6 years old are much less developed.

Sponsored promotional fanart is a thing, and the sponsor often can have the artists post the stuff at specific date with specific captions, which creates a feeling of a surge in popularity for bystanders. Once the tag/keyword becomes trendy, many artist wanna-bes would (have to) draw fanarts either out of affection/because they actually enjoy the game, or simply to ride on the popularity and attract followers for themselves - I'm not trying to badmouth this, and I feel for the rising artists, but this has been a pattern that I obvserved over and over again.

Personally I absolutely hate this game for both the gatcha aspect and the blatant plagiarism.
I had cataract surgery when I was 15/16 and since I was underage I was fully knocked out for the procedure (thankfully) but what I find to be a funny aspect about that whole thing is that wheeling me in a bed (having already taken some kind of oral anesthetic in tablet form) from the patient room to the operating room (down 4 floors, across, then up a few floors) took up essentially the same amount of time as the actual procedure.

After the operations (first one eye, wait a month, then the other eye) I had to wait six months to be fitted for glasses with "progressive lenses" (having used store-bought reading glasses inbetween) and I was done.

Over the ~10 years since then I've had to have my eyes lasered two times because that pesky cataract tried to grow back otherwise I just have a rather glare-sensitive pair of eyes[0] with a fixed focus length (due to the artificial lenses) making me both far- and near sighted[1] at the same time.
Also the glasses are expensive, to the tune of 180-200€ per lens ie. ~400€ without the frame.

TL;DR: it sucks but it's better than the alternative, going blind before or by 20 years old and having seen the difference [2] in the month between my initial two cataract surgeries it's well worth it.

[0]: outside on sunny days w/o sun glasses has me almost constantly blinded if I look anywhere near the sun's direction or any sun-reflecting surface (non-matte metal, glass, wet roads, water surfaces from puddles to the sea or any sufficiently light-colored surface, think paper or white walls etc.); ALSO software/websites that don't have a dark color theme genuinely become straining to my eyes within minutes if not seconds, so take note software engineers and web-devs, dark themes are not some hipster fad but a genuine accessibility feature

[1]: near-sighted from childhood astigmatism (extent: fine details and separations between objects further than ~50-100m become blurry), far-sightedness (extent: without glasses I can't read normal documents nearer than my fully extended arm, visually becoming just black fog/smudges on the white background) from the IOLs (intraocular lenses), IIRC the IOLs were made to make me more far-sighted with the idea that I would get more near-sighted with age anyway to some extent cancelling each other out.

[2]: the not-yet-operated eye couldn't even see a large smokestack ~2-3km away, there was just fog starting at around 1km away, the operated eye could see them perfectly fine on the horizon
