In germany there is a saying "Wo ein Trog ist kommen die Schweine." which roughly translates to "Where there is a trough the pigs will come."

At the moment we see an epidemic of former german companies with great tradition getting bought up and their products lowered to the lowest acceptable quality with the prizing staying the same. The worst part about this all is that identifying a quality product is nearly impossible now. Even if they score good test results the component quality usually gets lowered after half a year it's insanity.

There just is no middle ground anymore I can buy from big corps and mostly know the product and service is either great or at least ok or go to small shops that are really expensive.
I remember seeing this for the first time when I did a short exchange month in Japan. A friend of my host family asked me to fix their PC and install a printer, and when I saw yen signs all over the operating system I first thought he accidentally caught a bad virus.

Took me a while of banging my head against why "\" (as in C:\) is not working to realize that yen = \. Still had no idea why this was actually the case
The original Lightsail VPS product is hot garbage. If you actually try to use it, it throttles itself into oblivion. For me, that Lightsail name is forever tainted, so I won't even click the linked story.
There is one aspect where flying beats trains: checking luggage. If you have big suitcases it's a PITA to get them on and off the train. And changing trains means taking the bags with you, unlike flights where bags are (usually) transferred.
Until now, I haven't actually thought of what would happen if zalgotext occurred anywhere other than a web browser. Looking forward to the five minutes of fun with the file manager and whatnot.
Do they actually own the rights to these old broadcasts? I'd be surprised. Coast to Coast's website has an "Art Bell Vault" with old episodes. I bet they're the rights-holder, rather than whoever is behind this podcast.

Edit: the matter of ownership doesn't necessarily matter to me, but I am curious as to who is behind this.
Go look at: https://www.federalreserve.gov/default.htm

Of course the Fed is an arm of the government. The member banks have the "form" of private banks, but they are not really private banks. They are government created, backed, run, and funded entities. Think of a Port Authority, and decide whether it is part of the government or not. Of course it is.

The member banks also have no power in Fed decision making, which rests solely in the hands of the Chairman. The members banks exist solely to provide banking services for commercial banks in their district, and as various jobs programs for economists. Some also have museums and exhibitions.

Back in the day when you travelled the nation on horse and buggy, if there was a banking crisis it was important that there be a nearby bank with money. So yes, you needed a network of local reserve banks. Today, that's not so important anymore.

The distinctions being made here are due to a (quaint) stock issuance system that maybe made political sense in the politics of 1913 - when politicians still remembered Andrew Jackson and the Bank War (https://www.history.com/topics/19th-century/bank-war) - but this symbolism is irrelevant today.

Don't get me wrong, there are lots of legitimate questions to ask about the Fed in the zone of public/private -- is the Fed acting in the interests of the financial sector or the interests of the public? - how "independent" is the Fed"? But arguments about the Fed being really "private" are deep in the realm of conspiracy theory pamphlets.

Anyone who tries to argue this immediately loses the argument, in the same way that people arguing about the influence of the Rockefellers immediately loses the argument. Maybe in 1913, these were useful questions, but today these are all cringe questions.
Ah thanks, for some reason I didn't parse that properly.

Able to replicate it reliably now.
That reminds me - I need to upgrade my NAVI so that I can access the Wired.
One year is composed of 4 quarters. I will the rest of the math to you.
It's REALLY easy to check what the browser is doing and multiple people have. There was an article floating around claiming it phones home but many people very quickly pointed out that the author was mistaken, at best (they thought some CSS or something completely normal being loaded in the background was brave "phoning home").
> Which I would say does not matter because for train you still have to get to Berlin HbF.

Most trains/ICEs will stop at 2-3 stations in Berlin. Usually they stop at least at Spandau and Hauptbahnhof, and sometimes Gesundbrunnen as well. You should be able to reach one of these stations in at most thirty minutes regardless of where you start.

All of these stations are major transport hubs and thus easy to reach.

Airports not so much: It takes me more than 90 minutes to reach BER[1], meaning I should probably depart from home at least 180 minutes before takeoff if I want to catch my plane most of the time. Note that it is usually recommended to arrive at the airport two hours prior to takeoff (or even three hours for international flights).

Following all the best practices and accounting for delays in public transport would mean I'd have to depart almost four hours prior to takeoff for a domestic flight.

To catch an ICE I usually depart from home about 40 minutes before it leaves Gesundbrunnen, which gives me enough time to grab some sandwiches at a bakery and a coffee that doesn't suck (DB is clearly taking their inspiration from airline food).

Have a look at the German software 'The Archive' https://zettelkasten.de/the-archive , this might be what you are looking for.
It is not overloaded with fancy features and is text/markdown based. Enables you to focus on your actual notes and ideas and how to connect and inter-act with them, instead of getting lost in fancy diagrams.

Their user forum is in English and is THE best ressource regarding all things Zettelkasten.

Intel is leeting the CPU stay on turbo boost forever, AMD seems to be more focused on Efficiency. But, if you only enable PBO curve optmizer, so AMD Ryzen 5950x can stay more time in hgher clocks, ADL 12900K is spanked in multi-thread. People achieves 11500 in CB20 and 31000 in CB23 consuming 235W. So no, ADL may great for Gaming but not for heavily mutli-thread apps. For me ADL is Intel's desperation in become the better CPU Maker. They are not anymore I guess.
It's a perfectly acceptable serif typeface (Adobe Castlon Pro), laid out with reasonable spacing and leading and a generous column width. What are you complaining about? Does your computer have terrible text rendering?

I think it looks nice on my desktop monitor, and absolutely wonderful on my retina laptop screen.
I remember using bang paths to send myself email via several different networks. I felt like such a Hackerman.
I would still like to see some of the crazy wokeism he indulges in. If not for me, you should share it for other folks reading this thread in the future.
I'd also be curious to see who is on the US team. My guess is immigrants or children of immigrants make up a large part.
This isn't example isn't about not copying history (partial clone on the time dimension) it is about not copying the full directory tree but only a subdirectory (partial clone on the spatial dimension).
Isn't then the common practice of drawing circles on photos in evidence or putting callout arrows on photos in evidence creating something that isn't there and a distortion?

I feel that the judge and prosecutor are aligned in a plan to deny justice and this "I don't see it"/"don't pinch" stuff is just a form of big lies.
Depends on what you want as an outcome. Instant death or slow and painful
Well I hit this on my 2nd week of Rust trying to debug GPT-1 implementation in tch-rs. Sprinkling code with extra variables holding debug values I'd normally put as expressions in IDE Watches and restarting only works until assert violation happens after 5+ mins of program execution.
I would expect planes to be usually almost full. I would expect passenger cars to average 2 people per car.
Have you checked if crystal has enough raspberry Pi momentum?
The "more constructs to work through" is precisely the problem. Without restricting JavaScript to some subset, you're not going to be able to statically determine the behavior of any given program.
Same here and agree 100%. Seeing ads again will help me spend less time on the platform. I almost cancelled earlier this year but this made it easy for me to pull the trigger.
We are all in this together.
Being on a known-good version of a dependency is tech debt that I want my team to pay down when we have the slack. Alpha testing every commit of everything in prod is not our job. Google3 had company-wide build breaks so often (and hours of retest backlog) that teams had a “build cop” whose job was to urgently complain about them. Eventually they had to pick a set of active heavily-used libraries (e.g., bigtable) and set up the build system so most consumers would not depend on them at the very latest changelist.
I checked with a close friend who's spent the last 30 years in research on new antibiotics. Regarding peptides, he says, it's well-known that they're effective, but they make poor "drugs if you define 'drug' as something that you can inject or put in your mouth, have it circulate through the body, arrive intact at the site of infection, and have an effect. They usually fall apart en route; they also often induce an allergic response when you inject them."
This is very exciting. With open source it may be adapted to many other navigation uses. Tied in with open map sources, then used in sailing, hiking, flying, etc. It would seem endless possibilities. Especially to open all those locked systems such as Garmin, Raymarine, B&G, and so on.
This seems like a leap. Admin has increased 45% in the same time faculty has increased 56%. And the timeframe is 20 years. Is there too much bureaucracy? I don’t know. But I don’t think this article is enough to say so. The faculty quotes don’t offer any concrete information, unless you’ve already decided what you’re going to believe, I guess.
I've seen quite a bit of criticism of the Debt book of basically being a giant exercise in cherry-picking and sort of a politically motivated narrative. However, history and economics are topics where neutrality and objectivity of authors are hardly the norm.
How the web was lost (2020)
Electricity is ubiquitous. For those with private garages our outdoor parking, they will use their own charger. Sidewalk charger pedestals, as well as chargers that integrate with street lighting, are available. Fast DC charging at public parking is rapidly expanding. Workplaces are offering charging as a perk. Most will charge at home or at work. For the most remote locations, chargers exist that charge batteries off of solar to provide charge to EVs.

Consider how gas stations are fairly ubiquitous, and that EV chargers are even easier to install anywhere power is available. Outlets and level 2 chargers (~10kw) are a 1-2 day job, Fast DC chargers (Superchargers and similar) a week or two.
My current situation is that everything works fine and I haven't rebooted in a few months. (I should get around to that soon, there's a new kernel waiting. Or probably a couple.)
I do not, although he might be willing to share it. I did, however, write an email to EFF requesting records that could shed some light on the full extent of their conflicts of interest. I'm not expecting them to reply with anything useful but I guess there's a chance.
> Today I was thinking about Visual Basic 6, which worked more or less the same way.

VB .NET, which is just Visual Basic now, is like that and is "modern".
> We exchange EU visas and tax isentions for money to sustain the socialist ideology.

What? The Golden Visa program was created by the liberal government of Passos Coelho. It's legalized corruption (the head of a government agency was even arrested in connection with this a while back), putting upward pressure on the housing market, than the money earned by the visas themselves.
Crystal is probably what you're looking for!
In many cities, the transit is hub-spoke from downtown (which is mostly offices), so not a lot of opportunities.

> Are their jobs concentrated elsewhere?
Knowledge worker jobs are concentrated downtown, and jobs that are likely to look favorably upon someone homeless are probably not concentrated in any one area.
Yes. Fixed mortgages are the norm.
I just wish they had a decent way to execute programs with arguments that might include spaces. But no, every program can do argument delineation differently.
It is a very good question but it may help if you describe what you currently do and what you want to learn?

More generally ask for travel budget and try to travel as often as you can. Plan ahead at least a few weeks. Setup meetings in advanced with well thought out agenda/expectations. Setup social stuff like dinner or beers. Ask others if they have any interesting meetings you can sit in on. If you don't have any budget start working on justifying it with your leadership.
People who have maintained these systems know the level of pain is much worse than nearly any codebase. No code solutions that end up mission-critical can stay active for decades.

We have solutions from the 90s that, thank the heavens, I don’t have to work on them. If I did I would probably quit. But the business has to keep the thing chugging along, and it’s _very hard_ to get out of.
I think people just feel soothed when they belong deeply to a group, especially when there’s some external evil enemy you can trace all your problems to. I used to fantasize about going to an island somewhere with a bunch of people just like me and just quietly live with people who got me. I used to hate republicans, the people who murdered “gay teens” like me, and generally everyone who represented the status quo. I feel like my perspective was totally warped by this, and that I missed out on a lot life because of it.
> #4/5 aren't "ways to run containers"

So it's now illegal to rent VM and run containers inside in 2021?
The brain is great at imagining stuff “we could build that, and you’d have this and that…”. And a lot of the time you can build it but it requires code.

Using a tool that avoids code always means either compromise or you are really coding but in an inefficient ui (eg building a budget app in excel)
> You think no one should be arrested before trial?

Aren't people supposed to go to prison after they're sentenced?
I haven't seen the projects you shared. I'll take a look. Thanks.
Adding package information to ELF objects
Yep, at least it is for me.

I think it is so much easier to simply `bind:value` than have to write my own event handler to update inputs, etc. Similarly, it's much simpler to have the parent bind to a property of the child rather than passing the value down along with a function to update the parent every single time. In effect it works the exact same way, but I have much less to do to get there.

Store-wise, Svelte stores aren't fundamentally different from having all of your state in Redux, and I prefer that it encourages smaller stores rather than one giant one.

On top of that, it just feels better to me writing HTML, CSS, and JS instead of trying to shoehorn everything into JS.
So a 0.05 CPU?
from the blurb on the site it seems like its mostly server-side driven, sending changes to graphical objects through the web socket to a little JS stub that manipulates the DOM. at least I'm pretending that's what's going on since I do that a lot and like it as a model.

it clearly can suffer from interactivity issues, but for me its been surprisingly snappy for the kind of monitoring UIs with limited interaction that I use it for.

have done in Go, C, Rust, python, atmel assembly (and recently DDlog!)..and probably some other environments too. just need a web socket implementation. the js stub I carry around is ~200 lines and gets served off the same process

and yes - a big win is that you get to access state on the server directly instead of packaging it up, sending it across, unwrapping it, etc. oh right, you also get to do everything in your primary programming environment.

it doesn't address view maintenance specifically, but if the server is delta-based already (admittedly an assumption), then you don't have to do anything really.
Then that’s a problem. If my content is worth something then I should be paid or is should have a delete button. This isn’t trivial. I’m well versed in copyright. I have copyrights and receive in software, and from record labels. Compensation or deletion, there is no middle ground. Period
These are like those compact mech keyboards, always wonder what about the arrow keys I use a 68 myself with conventional arrow keys
Addicts (homeless or not) frequently make decisions that are not in their best interests. Decisions they would not make if they were not sick, including actively resisting help.

I'm not saying that help should be forced upon huge swaths of people (there are reasons to be against that in principle) or that they don't deserve a bed. I am just skeptical that housing-first would lead to much change in the mental health of that population. Addiction recovery rates are really not good even when looking at a much more financially comfortable population or people with family members that are trying their best to keep on top of them.

For many addicts, it is also difficult to recover and remain sober unless they stop spending time with others that are using. If only a minority of a dorm-style housing unit were serious about wanting to get clean this could make it even harder for them.
To be honest, I can’t say that this has been an issue for me on the Framework with Wayland and GNOME. Or at least I haven’t noticed it. My external monitor is 3840x2160, not HiDPI so maybe the issue is with multiple HiDPI displays of varying pixel density? I’m also using 1x scaling on both displays which perhaps simplifies things.
Finland even complained that some double taxation laws were depriving the Finish state of taxes, and then Portugal didn't collect them either, creating a loophole. They will start to collect them anyway from their retirees.
Do you have an example of a link actually needing Edge? And the point is whole categories don't. Search. Weather. News.
It's not what a lot of business travelers want. And it usually costs multiples of what hopping on a short flight costs because you need a sleeper compartment to do the well rested thing.
TfL has also become a partisan issue because the Conservative government sees it as an arm of the usually Labour controlled Greater London Authority. For instance, when commuters were begging for TfL to take control of the garbage South Eastern routes in the South East of London during Boris Johnson's Majorship (the area most neglected, transport wise), the transport minister at the time vetoed it because it could mean it fell into the hands of a Labour GLA.

I'd say TfL is far far more popular than any of the private companies and for good reason.

If we funded it properly and extended this approach (running things for the people, not for shareholders) to the rest of Britain it would be a good thing.
Now that I think about it I believe these episodes were from Jeff Rense who’s show was similar, lots of ufos, paranormal, etc.

> No, that's just one outcome. I already described another outcome higher up the comment tree: reduction in non-wage benefits.

I was not replying to you. I asked the posted who claimed that benefits had already hit a floor. I was responding to his supposition.

> Are you suggesting that those people who are desperate enough to become nearly right-less illegal immigrants do not count as labour or as disadvantaged?

No I'm not suggesting that. Seems pretty accusatory and not really in good faith, unless you can explain how on earth I might have been reasonably misinterpreted as suggesting it.

You can advocate for and advance your own interests or the interests of your voters and constituents first without being subject to these stupid witch hunts. Everybody does it, even you. I don't go around accusing you of not caring about poor people or refugees because you have failed to sell all your belongings and donate your wealth to the less fortunate as well as your income except that which you need to barely keep yourself alive.

We are talking about wages in the USA, and massive downward pressure on low skilled labor comes from illegal immigrant workers. If you can't cope with this or debate it rationally then that's your problem not mine.
I didn't want to imply that origami as a whole is useless, but doing it one-handed with your non-dominant hand under time constraints seems rather useless other than being a challenge.
The Discovery Tour mode in Origins is fantastic, I think I have more hours in it than the actual game.
You already know that it's PAM-related, since it's a PAM config file. What extra info does the `pam_` give you?

.so does give you some info (namely, that it's an external shared object), but I'm not entirely certain how that alone gives you any better idea what's going on: that shared object could do literally anything. You need to know how PAM uses the shared object to know what's going on.
Oh man, I remember listening to Ghost to Ghost when Art Bell used to take calls from audience for Halloween. Those were some of the best shows! Also, does anybody remember the show where some dude called him while supposedly flying over Area 51? Thank you for sharing this list!
When Google don't work, then I go to the documentation, the manual or the book. To use the article's analogy, these are the equivalent of going to the supermarket.

If the knowledge is already in the documentation or a book, why should I keep a copy of that knowledge elsewhere, in yet another format?

Additionally, I can find 6am flights, which means that I can be at 8am at the destination and have a full day ahead of me. By train the whole day will be dedicated to travel. Same on the return. Losing 2/3 days on a business trip is a big cost to pay.
A couple of my college friends use Ada daily and have been working with it for over 15 years now. One of them fell in love with the language when our first ever programming course was taught in Ada, presumably to get students with started with a solid base :-)

They now work on radar systems at Thales Group. I've read that it's also widely used in aviation, e.g. at Boeing[1] or Airbus. As for general development, from my (albeit limited) experience the type system is a bit heavier than I'd like. It's certainly a great help for highly reliable systems, but most applications probably don't need such a strict language.
