It doesn't cost anything to file a response to an opposition. Just deny all their assertions. I've been through the process for my own Trademark and was willing to fight a large gaming company up until discovery without a lawyer.

That said, you need to do your homework if you try this and it is a bit time consuming, but it was just a few hours of work for me to research and talk to a couple of trademark lawyers (for free) to get a very basic assessment of what was happening and how common opposition filing is. Responded on my own and the Trademark office was surprised that I had no lawyer.

BTW, filing an opposition is easy and costs almost nothing to do, so why wouldn't an existing trademark holder do it?
Back in 2005 or so, I recall my American colleagues also saying they were paid every 2 weeks, instead of monthly. That seemed pretty strange to me, for salaried positions.
I feel like we've been unable to say no to anyone (at least anyone in certain groups like well off, white, conservatives) for decades. All sorts of dangerous and anti-social behaviour from littering to refusing to wear a mask on a pandemic is just tolerated.

Well it is written in Go instead of Python.
If I remember correctly, borg is single threaded and quite slow. Kopia is really fast.

Other than performance, the biggest benefit is that multiple clients can write to one repository at once. There is a designated maintenance user, though.

Many measures have been contemplated (and some taken) that would've been over-reaching and extreme had the disease been smallpox. And COIVD was never smallpox.
No, you misunderstand. You need new libraries to make your new hardware work. You can't use versions of driver libraries like Mesa that are older than your hardware, and Mesa has a ton of dependencies like libstdc++ and LLVM so you can't use old versions of those either. This is a major problem for Flatpak.
My point was that (1) standards aren’t well-written if reading them is not enough to understand how to implement them in your business, (2) this benefits consultants (some of whom are involved with ISO, I’m not sure if possible conflicts of interest are taken care of), and (3) the proposal of this public letter does nothing to address the status quo.
I just saw a nice keynote by David Beazley on how he installed python on a CM5 at Los Alamos, very entertaining
GitHub does require that SSH keys only be used by a single user account.

I shouldn’t have phrased my comment as a question: a former employer required that I use different GH accounts for different purposes, and it was a hassle to get local repositories to use the correct keypair. I recall being annoyed at GH at the time, but since your SSH key is used as an authentication mechanism on SSH pushes, they really can’t let a keypair be associated with multiple accounts.
tarsnap is solid but has two major weakspots — it’s not price competitive, at least for the b2c product retailed from the site, and it is very slow.
Pta – the plain text accounting program (2020)
Additional great read: the author (long-time OpenBSD developer Ingo Schwarze) explaining his motivations and discusses other plain-text accounting systems, including Ledger: https://www.undeadly.org/cgi?action=article;sid=202009281234...

As a long-time Ledger user, I'm tempted to try PTA out. The journal's single-line syntax looks great, more robust to parse with Unix tools as compared to Ledger's multi-line journals. PTA's account numbering system is also similar to what is common in my country (Eastern Europe). Also, the whole thing appears to be a single Perl file, so it probably runs out of the box in every Unix system. Really neat.
Every language has a runtime, it is what supports the basic language infrastructure, including Swift.

I think the described processes are quite an effort and seem to imply a black and white world: no notes versus a personal intranet of your mind.

I'm looking to augment my process but I've started with a simple approach: markdown notes, scripts, and lately my own diagrams (made with excalidraw or plantuml).

The most common scenarios when I write: learning something new or when I've had to search/type a command for the nth time - time to write it down or create a script for it.
Yes, and (to be clear to people who don't click your link) it was removed for exactly the reason that the parent commenter mentioned. Rust's lack of a pervasive GC is not intended to suggest that GC is not generally useful (even in a systems context), only that it's too difficult to satisfy the sort of extreme control that people demand of a low-level language if they are forced to find ways to work around the pervasive GC. Which is to say, you need a way to turn off the GC, and if you can function with the GC off, then maybe you should push that as far as you can get away with, which is what Rust did.
Conflict is an inherent part of society. Either you engage with it, and use the tools available to you to defend the things you care about. Or you shut the fuck up.

Most countries legal systems have very strong skews towards individuals, to make it easy(ish) for individuals to take on much larger entities. Most of the time these skews are so extreme that merely demonstrating that you understand how to send a correctly written letter is enough for most companies to back off. Large corporates prey entirely on the fact that people grossly underestimate how many rights they have, and make zero effort to enforce them.

If spending 30mins to write an email is too much effort. Then clearly the issue isn’t significant to you. In which shut up and go away. If you can’t be bothered to write a 30 min email, then why the hell should anyone else give a shit?
When it comes to backup software, do yourself a favor and do extensive research on their stability and reliability.

From what I learnt, borg has least problem of all the open source backup software with the most wanted features (encryption, dedup, compression and rotation) and others all have their quirks, be it huge memory usage, data loss to worst being corruption of the backup repository.

Things may have improved since I've looked but you want user feedbacks saying so.

It's too late to know that backup software has been failing when you need it as the original data is already unavailable, so choosing by the look of landing page is a bad way when it comes to backup.

kopia is still new and last time I used about a year ago, it still had basic problems, so I would never use it in place of borg.

restic, duplicati, duplicity and duplicacy all have some sort of problems especially when the repo gets large but of course there are cases where things are working fine.

https://www.reddit.com/r/unRAID/comments/eg0zpe/duplicati_se... (Another duplicati issues)

borg also has change logs with any major reliability problems mentioned up front which gives you more confidence than serious bugs buried in GitHub issues like other tools.

https://borgbackup.readthedocs.io/en/stable/changes.html

The only downside of borg is it can only target ssh host natively, but there are services like rsync.net (with special borg pricing), borgbase or you could locally run borg and rclone the entirety to anywhere you want.
Ignoring this specific case where it seems especially unlikely, that's always seemed like someone worked backwards and overthought it to me, "the spelling mistakes, they have to mean something".

I don't think there is a binary smart population and dumb population to optimise around, for every step down, some people who are otherwise convinced become hesitant and waste time, and some of that group become totally unconvinced.
I trust Github explicitly. Or in my case Gitlab, as that's where our code and our CI/CD is. I'll go even further and tell you that I'd trust the public key on Gitlab to be correct more than I'd trust the keys on my own hard drive to be correct. If I make a mistake in my opsec, and run for example a NPM package or Ruby gem or whatever outside of a container, I could have my keys compromised without me ever noticing. At least Gitlab will drop an e-mail in my inbox saying my key changed. Beyond that, I presume Gitlab is employing a security team that outclasses my little startup by orders of magnitude. If Gitlab gets hacked to the point where people's public keys get changed, that surely would be noticed very quickly.

Curious why you think it would be a bad idea to trust Github/Gitlab to warrant your identity.

They definitely taught us secrets. They had a faraday cage in one of the armored vehicle garages just for that purpose. I was just agreeing with the parent that the secrets were all totally random and mundane.

C++ lambdas need that feature because they don't have lifetimes or a borrow checker. Rust closures don't need that feature because rust has a borrow checker that ensures you aren't referencing something you shouldn't be.

You can explicitly decide what to copy inside a Rust closure as well, you just use a `move` closure and create references for anything you need referenced outside the closure instead.
And it's just a single go-binary, i just trow it on a win/bsd/linux machine create a key, start the backup. I love the simplicity of it, however for more complex plans i use git-annex.
Actually, I had heard before that George first wasn't satisfied with his own songs and he wanted them to be as good as the John/Paul ones before they appear on their records, which he managed beautifully: in a way, it was the same kind of motivation that was between John and Paul that existed also between he and Paul/John, which helped him progress. I had heard also that as he was singing some of the songs, he told the others that he wanted to sing his own.
I don't bother filing bugs or sending PRs. I spend hours filing a detailed bug report. No response. I spend hours crafting a PR. Ignored. I file a bug report along with several possible solutions. I get a snarky response totally unrelated the proposed solutions.

But I get it. Maintainers are overworked and jaded. I'm on the receiving end as well, with 95% of the issues like: "help, it's broken" (with no error message), "please teach me git", "please debug my application code", "please implement this massive feature for me" (for free), "how do I do xxx?" (obviously didn't read the README.md), "your library is buggy" (no it's not, your pointer has run off the end of your array, causing Undefined Behavior).

With all of that noise, it is difficult to figure out which bug reports or PRs are in the 5% that are actually well-researched and valid.
Restic is great. Used to use Duplicati because of its GUI, but Restic is far faster, reliable, and restoring files via FUSE is extremely easy to use.
In a very practical sense, I (the human writing this comment) pay close attention to the security of my GitHub account and to what SSH keys are added, because I use it regularly and care about the security of my account. I also care about the security of all my client devices that can push to GitHub, and in fact a few of my devices cannot push to GitHub (they have to route through a device I am more careful with). If you have a link to my GitHub account, you have a very high confidence that you have a link to me the human.

Meanwhile, I've been to multiple PGP key-signing parties and organized one or two myself, and the quality of the link is always very low. At one Ubuntu Developer Summit (a community that heavily relies on the Web of Trust), the person organizing the party wanted us to verify short key IDs. I refused, and set up my own list of full fingerprints that I distributed to participants, and earned the ire of the organizer. At one DebConf (another community that heavily relies on the Web of Trust), I saw at least one driver's license from another country that was of such quality that it could be easily reproduced by any fake ID shop for college kids. There may have been features on it to verify its authenticity; I certainly did not what I should be looking for, and I doubt others did. I don't remember if I signed the key in the end. I think I did. I expect others did.

So, if you find a signature on the Web of Trust for my key, what does that give you? What confidence do you have that the person signing it actually verified it was me?
I don't see why that's any bigger problem than anything else, flatpak includes mesa as part of the SDK: https://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/available-runtimes.html#f...

Take all the problems you have had with data warehousing and throw them in a proprietary cloud. That is Snowflake. They are the best today.

Databricks started with the cloud datalake, sitting natively on parquet and using cloud native tools, fully open. Recently they added SQL to help democratize the data in the data lake versus moving it back and forth into a proprietary data warehouse.

The selling point in Databricks is why move the data around when you can just have it in one place IF performance is the same or better.

This is what led to the latest benchmark which in the writing appears to be unbiased.

In snowflakes response however, they condemn it but then submit their own fundings. Sound a lot lot trump telling everyone he had billions of people attend his inauguration, doesn’t it?

Anyhow, I trust independent studies more than I do coming from vendors. It cannot be argued or debated unless it was unfairly done. I think we are all smart enough to be careful with studies of any kind, but I can see why Databricks was excited about the findings.
This is a complaint, not a decision. (Or a review)

I've got the G7 15 7590 running Windows. I'll second that I'm very satisfied with power and form factor, and it's mostly a solid laptop that I'm very happy with. The biggest problem I've had is incredibly poor thermals even when playing mid range games, but this may be model specific (the 7590 was especially bad I believe) and is something you can try to address by repasting. The built-in speakers were pretty poor as well, but most people are probably using headphones.
I write async rust for my day job, and while it is more complicated to write than synchronous rust, the complications generally make sense once you understand how the compiler is managing the remarkably tricky task of async with no GC. Rust remains significantly more pleasurable to write than e.g. typescript for me.

Some patterns around error handling still a bit awkward, but the FuturesExt and TryFuturesExt traits help a lot there.

My only real “I have no clue what’s going on” moment so far has been with an error about traits not being general enough, but someone on the rust forums helped me out: https://users.rust-lang.org/t/trait-is-not-general-enough-fo...

Setting up clippy to disallow non-send-sync futures throughout the codebase has prevented that particular thing from recurring.
Unfortunately, the "pay for support" business model means the incentive is to make a system that needs support but pretends on the surface to be stable and high quality.

One way to make a system so incomprehensible that your customers absolutely need support is to make it configurable in a million different ways, and make the configuration invisible / opaque.

Example:

"Why is this program doing this when I told it to do that?"

Answer: Because this file in that directory configure service A to do X, and this other file in that other directory configures the program to behave like Y if it detects that service A is doing X.

But the program does not tell you that via its UI; you have to read obscure documentation.

Unlike a paper encyclopedia, a second brain has *your* thoughts. You write down what is useful to you, and in a style that matches your comprehension.

My "2nd brain" are mostly scattered notes and scripts: low effort but just medium reward. I'm looking to organize them better and get a high reward with moderate effort.
Rewards/points are not free. You're paying more upfront to get something "free" later on.
For big companies where you have some people maintaining a few cli tools, this sort of tooling is amazing. Being able to `select ... from executions where exit_code != 0` gives you a lot of freedom to find out proactively what people are having trouble with in your software.

Every single time I see this, its someone projecting their own racism. Maybe dont do that.
Depends on the kind of programs you write, you may not actually need the "features" Rust provides (e.g. no-GC and high performance). In that case writing in a GC managed language certainly removes a lot of mental burden compared to writing in Rust.

However, anyone came from a systems programming background and wrote any non-trivial async network applications in C/C++ will most certainly appreciate the abstraction and safety Rust provides. Productivity grows significantly when writing in Rust because a lot of the low level details are handled by library authors instead of the programmer.
Not true. I live in North Carolina where the minimum wage is still the federal minimum wage ($7.25). In the rural parts of the state (low COL) McDonalds is still advertising $10/hr, and in the area I live it’s $12-$14. Many stores and fast food places are advertising $15 and higher.
I use a ThinkPad T14s after my X1 Carbon fell apart. The thicker chassis makes it more reliable for travel, and the Ryzen CPU can play most Xbox games pass games fine. If you don't need Linux then the new Macs seem pretty amazing though.

"We next consider the necessity of the Mandate. The Mandate is
staggeringly overbroad. Applying to 2 out of 3 private-sector employees in
America, in workplaces as diverse as the country itself, the Mandate fails to
consider what is perhaps the most salient fact of all: the ongoing threat of
COVID-19 is more dangerous to some employees than to other employees. All
else equal, a 28 year-old trucker spending the bulk of his workday in the
solitude of his cab is simply less vulnerable to COVID-19 than a 62 year-old
prison janitor. Likewise, a naturally immune unvaccinated worker is
presumably at less risk than an unvaccinated worker who has never had the

virus. The list goes on, but one constant remains—the Mandate fails almost
completely to address, or even respond to, much of this reality and common
sense. "
