You could just as easily be exchanging black tar heroin for real currency and using that to make your purchases.

Are you then using heroin to acquire goods and services?

> I am not patronizing anyone living outside the USA and please don't sling around accusations like that.

Funny that my comment was so heavily upvoted. You are patronizing people, and I accuse you of it deliberately, knowing both that it is an accusation you may not welcome, and that it is difficult to infer from text-based communication.

I suggest you pause and consider that this is a recurring accusation with several upvotes, and that you may not realize that you are being patronizing.
Don’t think within a package manager is the right place. Fundamentally there needs to be an onion layer around the entire activity (ie. a virtual machine, qubeos, oci/container, gitpod, github codespaces, namespace jail).

Example of tasty file that a package manager should never be able to read: /Users/mxey/.ssh/ssh_rsa or /Users/mxey/.netrc

> Honestly, I would not be suprised by 2030 if insurance companies made the usage of ephemeral sandboxes (in whatever form: be that cloud, OCI, or firecracker) a condition of issuing cyber insurance. In this distributed world where remote development is now a norm moving towards ephemeral sandboxes is an important lever to counter the increasing threat of source integrity and supply chain attacks.

Note that we still need to address the underlying issue of source integrity and supply chain attacks, because many of these things people are blindly including via NPM and similar are not just used in development. They are often also used in production code that is dealing with real customers.
Please elaborate on why you think free will is exaggerated and how it could be healthy. I'm really interested in this being a meditator.
it says more focus, but i feel like having that stuff all over my vision would mean more distraction. As I get older I like to have less monitors not more, in fact one large one is probably sufficient.. but at the same time I love coding solo on my laptop monitor without problem, because i have one thing to focus on. I guess to each their own!
Don't touch managed funds, the fees are too high to be worth it. Don't touch index funds with high fees either. In fact once you've picked a mix of geography and stock/bond ratio find whatever index fund has the lowest fees.

In terms of picking equity Vs bond ratio, if you're aggressive go 75% equity. I think (might be wrong) returns actually go down over 75%. For geography just match the world economy.

The Intelligent Investor (By Benjamin Graham) covers the whole thing with sources and statistical backing. I've been following this for 2 decades and made about 7% per annum so I'm happy. It's low stress, low touch, low risk, decent return and compatible with various tax wrappers (pensions etc). What's not to like.
The article mentions Intel is slated to get the first next-gen EUV device ("high-NA EUV"). I wonder how much lead time this buys them from when TSMC gets theirs? Presumably would just be a month or two at most, unless Intel is getting more than just the first. If they can produce 55 of the current generation per year, the next generation would be produced at some order of magnitude slower at first.
I believe Apple forked rm to provide protection for this case?

Also, if you're willing to lean into npm a bit, there's tools that give a layer of protection over rm such as https://github.com/sindresorhus/trash-cli

No, it means not being 'NFT literate' (to put it generously) or sceptical/not buying in (literally) to the idea of NFTs: 'I can just right-click and save the image, I don't need to pay for the NFT.'
I have a filing cabinet with two drawers. Inside are many folders, each dedicated to a particular specific subject - car loan documents, 2018 tax documents, etc.

Those folders are grouped together by broader subject - loan documents, tax documents, etc. - in alphabetical order.
For the most part, yes, everything makes sense. There are some things worth noting though:

> On ocassion, it breaks UDP protocols that are "connection oriented" (like QUIC and WireGuard, though both have built-in capabilities to recover).

Yes, and no, in that QUIC and WireGuard do work consistently, it's not that they break. But Fly doesn't currently offer UDP flow hashing or sessions or pinning.

> There is no way to pin traffic to VMs (route / client affinities) or shape traffic.

No, but the system is built to obviate the need for this — you can choose which regions your app runs in and Fly will balance them for you based on the strategy you choose. I'm not sure what benefit is being missed out on by not having it — if there is a clear benefit that's not achievable under the current design we can make a case for building it.

> 100+ locations with GA, and two Anycast IPs (in two distinct "zones").

Fly lets you allocate and buy more IPs under Anycast, so more than two should be possible. Regarding the 100+ locations, that's technically true but irrelevant — GA doesn't serve requests, so they still need to hit apps deployed on one of the AWS regions (usually provisioned and managed separately). With Fly your app is running on the edge regions pretty much automatically.

The closest alternative to Fly on AWS would be (1) Global Accelerator pointing at (20) Application Load Balancers in every region, each backed with (1+) Fargate containers maybe? Would also need Lambda triggers to turn off traffic to a region if it wasn't worth running containers there, and turn them back on again.
Growing up in Akron, Ohio where the older blimps were based was a magical experience. Summer evenings were frequently augmented by a flyover with the lighted, motion-graphic display in operation. We could hear the engines from miles away and knew we were in for a treat.

With the newer blimp technology, I wonder why there isn’t a move toward offering deluxe cruises across America in extended gondolas with sleeping quarters and food service? —- similar to a river cruise in the sky. Surely there is a niche clientele who would pay well for this unique experience. I would jump at the opportunity.
I think you’re on the right track.
I live in Michigan. I have a 5.9kwh solar array. Spring/fall, I can produce over 40kwh/day. Summer heat lowers my production to upper 30-40kwh.

January 2021, I produced 197kwh the entire month.

I know this discussion is focused on heating. But from an electric vehicle perspective; 197kwh is not that much. In the winter, I don't think it would be enough electricity for a homes electric needs + EV or electric heat.

I can make 1MWh over 1 month in the summer. Basically, Michigan has short days in the winter. Snow does sit on top of the solar array until it melts, which robs me of production during sunny winter days.

It wouldn't be impossible to use solar to replace heating oil in Michigan, and the over capacity installed to satisfy winter demand could serve as a "peaker plant" during the warm summer months.

While I know renewables have decreased in costs, I think the costs related to building overcapacity is a hindrance.

We have a family filing system in a set of file cabinets with pendaflex folders. But the past few years I scan (with smartphone) all significant documents received and upload to cloud storage. Then if I need a document (particularly for annual tax filing) I pull it from the cloud where it is indexed by name and creation time stamp.

In the case of documents that have a reliable internet service source (e.g. Amazon order receipts) I don't even bother filing or scanning. Instead I go get the document again from its source if I need it. Amazon keeps orders going back to the beginning, afaik.
Yes, I do the same. Or you can do HFEA.

Note to OP: 5 years is very short. Change it to 20 years.
I don't use WSL because it's linux, I use it just because it's a better prompt/shell environment for Windows.

I have a decent Windows for gaming (and to do the occasional actual Windows app development, but very rarely), so I use that for my work now (web development). The tooling is just better within WSL than natively in Windows.

I'm not sure about the actual overhead of WSL vs a full VM, but I've never experienced any problems with WSL and it's pretty seamless. A full blown VM running in VirtualBox just feels like a lot more overhead.

I know it sounds douchey but it's how to play the game. I just stopped. I lost complete interest in it at this point. My hobbies are more interesting.
The actual problem is how society determines value. It's based on supply and demand, which can be gamed, rather than inherent value. For example, compared to jobs in the stock market, education is a low-paying sector, as is janitorial work and other fields that contribute disproportionately to the well-being of civilization because the focus is not about artificially gaming the system to increase financial reward.

I don't want to get too far into the weeds of whether or not some industries are worth their salt (e.g. entertainment, sports, etc.)- but the point is that financial value and real-world value are inherently disconnected.

This affects more than just raw economics. Just look at the MeToo movement- how many people are considered valuable due to their financial success as opposed to their inner psychological work and kindness towards others, and are therefore (wrongly) placed into positions of power.

Of course this affects the art world too. A painting of rare skill that stirs the heart and intrigues the mind is worth money, because it makes us more human and lifts the world up a notch. The other stuff is not worth it. Professional (as in its how they make their living) artists know this and game the system for financial rewards.

The NFT craze is just symbolic of the bigger issue. It works because it's a self-sustaining greed machine. Pure supply and demand, no inherent value. I would say it's a bubble but throughout human history, value and value have been unrelated, with no end in sight.

craze is an important word though. The mechanism of NFTs can be used for actual value, such as paperless tickets, real estate deeds, digital assets with utility etc. Even in a basic sense they can be an improvement over bespoke mobile apps and QR codes.

Anyway, what do I know, I'm barely making ends meet, and I'm one of the dummies who dabbled in BTC back in the day and lost my wallet carelessly because it seemed so worthless anyway.

Maybe I'm the problem and should just get on board with the whole greed thing. Maybe if I make enough money my opinion might be valuable.
So is money (or else it wouldn't work)
Not really in my opinion.

The poster was expressing that they're shocked, saying what a corrput state Russia was. And I don't quite understand why they're shocked and presumed that they're from the US.

I didn't try to deflect by saying "Russia isn't a dangerously corrput state because look at the US", I tried to say "Why are you shocked about Russia when your own country has it's problems with corruption too."

Hope that makes sense and that I'm now not registered as a russian astro-turfer.
I'm just a devops person, not a coder by any stretch of the imagination, but I found that maintaining my .init.el in git helped me to learn enough elisp to be useful/dangerous.

We use docker compose for development and our build system leverages it. However, our prod system is hybrid with our own data centers running k8s, traditional VMs, and bare metal nodes, and additionally we run some things in aws. Thousands of nodes in our own DCs. I'm not aware of any teams at my work using docker compose beyond dev+ci/cd and I'd be interested at looking to an all k8s solution, but docker compose definitely got us here. Highly recommended.
Assuming zero compatibility problems and a simple drop in, I say 1.6 is pretty damn good from the start.

Vetting the author of the package is neither very realistic in a lot of cases, nor a great solution to this problem unfortunately. A lot of people got impacted by this issue through Karma, which is extremely popular and trusted by the community. In this case, the bad actor also managed to access ua-parser-js author's NPM account and push the bad version directly, so not really the case of an author going rogue.
That's perhaps the slightly wrong way of looking at it. "rm" is an executable that parses its command line; the asterisk is a special symbol that gets expanded to a list of all file names (except those starting with a period). So the arguments `rm` receives when you type `rm *`, is a list of all file names. It does not know that, because all arguments are just strings, and therefore it parses those strings the same way as if they had been typed, which makes that a filename like `-rf` can trigger the behavior of the "flag" `-rf`.
It's the other side of the same coin, isn't it?
I think that's a bit reductionist, in the same sense that you don't "own" land just because you only hold the deed.

Unlike some things in the cryptocurrency world, NFTs are not meant to replace the legal system and property rights.
> any installation system that can run arbitrary scripts/commands as a part of the install has this same problem. This anti-feature should be removed, and other safer workarounds provided.

1000% agreed. I might need to refactor the article to remove the focus on NPM. It was cited for two reasons:

- awareness that an important RFC that people need to vote on

- npm is related to ua-user agent-parser incident (mystery meat in a binary package)
So now the race to prove ownership is to upload it to a blockchain first? If you publish your art on deviantart but while you’re uploading it to the blockchain, I sneak in first and upload it, suddenly I can say that I have a tamper proof ledger showing that I uploaded it before it was copied by you.

The trick here with Web3/DeFi is that there is so much indirection and abstraction.

What do these people do?
They are involved in DeFi projects.

What do those projects do?
They provide an infrastructure for DeFi.

But what does that infrastructure do?
It allows the DeFi transactions.

But what are those transactions?
Well it could be anything due to the open nature of smart contracts.

But what does it actually do today?
It moves digital tokens around.

When is it going to provide real value?
Many people have made a lot of money in Crypto already

And how did they make their money?
By owning tokens that went up in value

And how is that not a pyramid scheme?
Well the US Dollar is a scam. No one should be long US Dollar.

TLDR; Because the US Dollar is at risk of inflation, you should buy and hold onto a variety of digital trading cards. Somehow the Metaverse will include digital scarcity and those trading cards will make your meta rich.

Generally, ethnic minorities like imperial powers, and majorities dislike them. Eventually the majority rises up under a nationalist banner to kick out the outsiders and re-establish themselves at the top of the local food chain. This is bad for the people who end up back at the bottom.
Except that, so far as I know, there's nothing stopping someone else from putting the exact same data in another block in the chain, and claiming that is "first" instead. And unless you already know the first copy exists, there's no way to find it via the blockchain itself, and so no way to prove "first" without already knowing it's the first.
Seems like it would take no more than 5 minutes to download and untar the listed dependencies, though. I don’t understand this attitude about experimentation.

I've got myself a multi function printer with an adf. Everything that is in my physical inbox is scanned and put on my NAS.

There is a custom program running in a container that will feed any new doc to pdfsandwich (or similar OCR tooling), move the doc into a digital inbox prefixed with the current date. From there I can either leave it as it is (the date is usually good enough to find things) or - if I get to it - give it a proper name and put it into a folder structure (like some of the other responders).

The custom tooling also indexes all docs and provides my family a web interface to search.

Simple and effective.
How does DRM fit into this? Isn't that kind of an attempt to make digital media scarce? It's just that NFTs are using technology that wasn't available when Sony had to install rootkits to try to achieve something like the same thing.
Yes. Glibc is very heavyweight. Its supposedly thin wrappers provide features such as cancellation, for example.

One of my objectives was to produce ELFs with no symbols other than those defined in my own code. Glibc adds a lot of symbols.

YJIT is pretty much transparent in production, if not it's likely a bug.

When we tried MJIT in production to compare it against YJIT, it causes lots of request timeouts on deploy, because the JIT warmup would take 10 to 20 minutes and it's much slower during that phase.

But YJIT warms ups extremely fast and with a much lower overhead, it's seemless on deploy.

The only thing you may need to tweak is `--yjit-exec-mem-size`, it defaults to `--yjit-exec-mem-size=256` (MB) which is not quite enough for larger apps.

As for development, it would work, but with code reloading enabled, you'd likely exhaust the executable memory allocation pretty fast, because for now YJIT doesn't GC generated code [0]. It will come soon, hopefully before the 3.1.0 release, but that's one of the reason why it's not enabled by default.

Awesome comment. Took me a bit to realize it was the emperor has no clothing.

I think NFT's applied to art make only nominal sense, and I assume that's what you were going for. I myself had to come to the realization that NFT's are really just flexing for the rich, because as anyone realizes, right-click save-as is all you need to have the art to.

However when it comes to gameing, its a whole different story. Want to own some unique special edition sword with rare attributes in the Zelda-verse? Buy the NFT block chain address to it that says you and only you can have it. Want to own the penthouse apartment in the zucker-verse? Buy the NFT key that says only you have ownership rights. Want to be a unique character with unique pets in World-of-crypto-craft? Buy the NFT's to unlock these. Sell them if you get bored for more money, and the game developer gets a cut!

The gaming application scenarios are enormous. That's why crypto gaming will likely be huge and I myself have invested in it's foundations for the long term (Enjin, Seedify-fund, etc). It's one of the few applications that makes sense outside of rich snobs flexing.
