If one has the know how to design and build laptop mainboards, it would be nice to team up with other people who can build the chases, get some financing and start building new laptops as nice as the original ThinkPads, with socketable CPUs.

Agreed and I also wonder if decreasing workforce participation in males is related. At the same time, since male-female workforce mix is relatively stable, there may be no relation.
But it is much costlier (time, materials, logos…) and a different technique.
A couple of things - if the system can handle rollbacks it will be much more reliable than using the fs, as the fs knows nothing about actual state. It knows about blocks commited to disk. Usually they look the same, but not always.

Then there’s the question of how exactly you reached this state.
Having nixos generations is like having an event stream of all changes.
Apply your backup to a new machine, what happens? Who knows.

In nixos/guix it’s not about only ”package tools”, it’s about treating the complete system and its state as a coherent whole.

Once I got the taste of it I see no way back to opaque packages, managed by config tools with no concept of state.

And if you’re a dev - shell.nix and declarative containers ftw.

This is not how it works. If a significant number of people oppose a certain regulation, a public debate will ensue, and sometimes the general mindset with regards to the issue will shift and then the regulation will change accordingly. This is how democracy works. If you think that capital controls should not exist, feel free to make a case against such controls, but you will have to do a little better than "oh, look, it's a mess, let's get rid of capital controls". Nobody is going to take you seriously unless you present a convincing argument, and coming up with a convincing argument would require, for a start, an understanding of the reasons behind current regulations with regards to capital controls.
I'm in my early 20s and i've been living with depression all my life. Only recently got unofficial diagnosis from my former therapist. When i read the title the first thought that poped in my head was "How can you get back something that you never had?". I don't know if it was my thought or my depression influenced that thought, but at the end of the day it's something i believe it's true.
The idea is to call the institution back, often customer service, or log in to your account and check for alerts or messages. If customer support knows nothing about the contact attempt, I presume it's not legitimate.

Getting Started with Faasd
It's aimed at dairy cows, so they'd be herded in for milking twice a day anyway.

Though having said that, the cows on the farms near where I grew up would line themselves up at the gate to be milked, and one farmer would just open the gate while another shooed the stragglers back towards the herd. If this thing is anything less than 100% effective it doesn't seem like it would save much work, since you'd still need someone on a quad bike to deal with the nuisances.
People who want to make games usually want to be (co-)authors of the game and not just cogs in an organization with little to no to say about what the game should be like.
I'm the original creator of faasd, and just found this post on the Internet. What I liked was how he discovered faasd and found some unique value in it.

I wanted to share it all with a broader audience here. His bootstrap is a little bit convoluted, if you check out GitHub, we have a simple installer script and an eBook as a reference manual.

I'm not sure what the author means when he says it's complicated, but installing faasd requires almost no knowledge of containers, and there are very detailed step-by-step instructions. Once it's up and running, it's pretty much the same experience as openfaas on Kubernetes, just without scaling and clustering.

The author's assertion that the Nobel committee should go beyond just considering the scholarly contributions of theories on economics to also consider the actual practical implementation of such theories as state policies is definitely an interesting one. And Dr. Manmohan Singh is an ideal subject for such consideration as he is a rare case of a highly accomplished scholar and professor, who was also a bureaucrat and later the Finance Minister and Prime Minister of a huge and complex country with varying economic problems. He lifted nearly 200+ million people out of poverty - why doesn't such actual practical applications matter?

I will expand a bit on risk - as said should make double what you make in full time job (in wages) but that is sort of a rough estimate.

For example my last full time job last year was 60 thousand DKK per month. On top of that get some small pension and some vacation money paid into a state fund. And of course if I get sick I don't have to worry. If you get sick as a consultant you should have insurance for that.

So if I work 8 hours a day for 22 days a month at 700 DKK it gives me a little over double, 7.5 hours a day gives me a little bit under.

but lets say you get into a dry spell where there are no projects for you, and you spend 4 months without. On the one hand this is basically 8 months of normal employment, if you have purchased insurance for this scenario it isn't too bad. If you haven't you may find yourself in a situation where you need to start using money that is actually supposed to go to paying off your taxes. That's bad because now you get fines for not paying taxes and your risk increases.

As someone with ADHD this scenario is really bad for me, so just saying different people might have greater risk than others and should plan accordingly.

I solve this by building a 3x VPS (one node per continent)/2x home fiber combination (for redundancy). That way you get the best of both worlds:

For real-time stuff you use VPS, for bandwidth/storage you use home since those are cheaper there!

I use all passively cooled, lead-acid backed; Atom (loadbalancer/fast disk) + Raspberry 2/4 (slow disk/workhorse) and my own stack that uses Java.

This week google had a breakdown, so now I'm going to make my backups (AWS in asia and IONOS in US) part of the default DNS.

Only problem I have is IONOS does not easily scale up so I dont know what to do for low latency VPS workhorse in the US!

I'd guess a lack of hands. Maintenance is the expensive and boring part of a distro. And seriously, why should an unpaid volunteer help to maintain a stable foundation for all the companies that rely on, e.g., Ubuntu 18.04?

I wonder if one could create a business out of supporting such distributions against a comparatively small fee.

I think you could argue that Discord/Twitter is the game, which is a much bigger space than Fortnite or CSGO, meaning that the "skins" cost more. Instead of runing around a 3d character, you just type words on a web page/chat client and get points the more people see it.

Ignore the speculation on NFTs as a “single owner” of a piece of digital art for now, like most high art, it’s BS.

Just think about the things you buy online, be it movies, artwork, music, in app upgrades etc. Today we trust each individual app developer to honour the purchase agreement, eg. if the Amazon disappears or changes their license agreement, all your purchases are gone.

Tomorrow we might be able to purchase a license to the asset, registered on a public blockchain, and use that to prove ownership within an application. You could actually own some of things you currently “buy” online.

This is a huge net win for end users.

> if parsimony is desirable

That is what I'm asking. However you want to define this or label it.

The article says a whole lot as far as I can tell without really saying anything. Or at least not what I'm asking. The "paradigms" all start with "sometimes", and they don't seem to be backed by anything scientific beyond handwaving.

I agree that if you had two theories that are equally expressive and accurate, all else being equal the simpler one would be preferable. That's not really what I'm asking about though.

We do not have two equal theories one that requires the fine structure constant and the other which does not. We have a theory with a fine structure constant and lots of other things. The question is why is that "problematic"? We don't look at e=mc^2 and think that ^2 is problematic and think that it suggests there should be a simpler better theory without it. Why does alpha get singled out?
One of the really fabulous things about working in tech (or doing it as a hobby) is that you can participate in creating new things, bringing something useful into existence. Another is the joy of figuring out how intricate things work/solving fun brain puzzles. A third is that the end results of this process (the things made using tech) are often fun and interesting in their own right (apart from how they work or the techniques we used to make them).

These three joys are probably what attracted you to get involved with tech in the first place. You can rediscover them if you don't devalue your work by comparing it unfavorably with that of others.

Imagine you are eating your favorite food; let's say it might be pizza. Do you enjoy a good pizza less because there is a better pizza somewhere on the planet? Does a flower in your garden look less pretty because there is a better one somewhere else? Of course not. If you have $20 in your pocket, is your $20 worth less if the guy next to you has $50? Of course not. $20 is still worth $20.

The moral is, if you have created things which were useful or interesting, take pride in your work, even if it's less impressive than the work of others. Did you put effort into your work? Did you learn something in the process? If so, that's great.

And if you choose to spend time improving your skills, don't waste time worrying about whether you are progressing faster or slower than others. Are you learning things which are interesting to you? Can you create things now which you wouldn't have been able to create earlier? If so, that's great. It doesn't matter if someone else could have done it faster.
If by we you mean you. Yeah from outside it certainly looks like it...
I have been through the whole mechanical keyboard phase and concluded that there are two keyboards I will never give up. Matias quiet click (mini) and my old trusty dome with slider of some brand I dont know (although googling around I suspect it is BTC).

The matias has the nice tactility of a snappy rubber dome with the benefit of not having to bottom out. I DO bottom out, but I am such a light typer that I sometimes miss keystrokes on other keyboards.

The BTC (??) is sort of a poor man's topre. I like it a lot more than my friends realforce which hardly seems to have any tactility.
NB: That seems to be metadata, as the author is specified as "none" in the original.
It seems to me the actual issue here is the banks are using a second-factor code as a single factor.

The author covers your own response in the article..

PoS is a nice concept but we don’t leave in that world yet. The author mentions that Etherium has been talking about switching to PoS but haven’t yet.

Anyone who has thought about it for more than 5 seconds has seen the issues with the switch. Most miners have the majority of their “holdings” not in Etherium but in compute power, because they sell Eth to cover the operating costs, expand computing power, and secure profits (and reduce volatility).

This means switching to PoS will probably cause a massive fork, with the biggest miners staying in the “old” branch (it’s the one they’ll dominate). This leaves the new branch with little compute power and less holders, which makes it very vulnerable, especially since all large holders would rather prefer the new where they’ll get rewards.
I don’t understand; did the author of the torrent toss in a bunch of nothing to pad out the number, or is there that many references to nothing in the NFT chain?

The former seems pointless, but for the latter, I’m under the assumption that the NFT chain stores the image hashes directly, and those hashes are enforced to be unique — so there should be only one instance of a zero hash? Or I suppose a ton of images with like three bytes set and bunch of nothing for padding

In some cases, banks have trained us not to panic instead of taking time to understand what's happening.

A while ago, I scheduled a wire transfer through Chase to go through the next day.

While asleep, I got an automated call from Chase asking me to confirm that the wire transfer was placed by me.

By the time I had woken up, my online banking and my bank cards had been shut off.

This is not consumers fault. Everyone is used to banks not being completely impatient and expecting immediate responses. For some other example, by law, you only have two days after a transaction to respond to fraud, or else you could be looking at $500 lost instead of $50. Not immediately answering the phone could make a difference of $450!
Wow, looking great!!!
Did you look at drones recently? I ran into the same problems as you years ago on an outdoor monitoring PoC with stations spread over several dozen miles (it was cheaper to pay an intern than to deploy & upkeep the tech). For farming use cases, though, drones + CV at least seem to be a pretty decent solution to some problems.

Jesus that's a lot for someone going through depression to muster.
I'm sure these commercial proxy services and Tor have more than their fair share of abuse to deal with, but that's still a ways from botnets that are by definition illegitimate, in the malware victim case users don't consciously install them for sharing their internet connection. Oxylabs seems to market their service for web scraping which sounds reasonably legitimate.

But it would be interesting to know what these companies do to cut down abuse and results thereof...
> seemed to be able to still experience positive emotions and feelings.

Not saying it's the case here, but there's more flavors of depression than just major depressive disorder. There's a secondary form called atypical depression that has a few different features - you can still experience positive emotions and feelings, but those feelings are pretty fleeting.

Yep, I have even more arguments to explain why it will end up collapsing.
What's inherently wrong though ? It's just the internet. Share as much as you want. Make every IP a residential IP. It's more annoying that video websites are segregating IPs than someone is providing a service that randomizes it.

We horizontally scaled the Elixir processes so that we can scale as the number of connected sessions increases... Many of our stateful services that maintain connections to clients, and process and distribute messages in real-time, are written in Elixir, which is well suited to the real-time message passing workload. But in recent years we have run up against some scaling limitations.

> If EU starts to become corrupt and expand its influence like USA did over their states then countries will just leave

That just happened with UK. And it might happen again with Poland and Hungary.

Eu is not a supers state but it tries to become one. And the peoples of Europe do not like how a bunch of beaurocrats and politicians who they didn't even vote, are trying to change the way they live their lives, tell them what to do and mess with each country's internal affairs.
Can we just address the fact that the PSTN is a completely insecure, Wild West tier, broken mess? Number spoofing, delayed disconnect, SIM hijacking, wtf?

The fact that banks use that as a second authentication factor is beyond baffling, and all liability should land on them.
Profit not being the metric and profit not being the goal are two completely different things.
Tor operators (and generally commercial proxy services) know what they are doing and opted into it specifically with no real way to deny doing so.\

The people providing the exit points for Oxylabs and Luminati do not know they are acting as exit points, nor would they actually approve of it if they knew what it meant.
Protobufs is a boring old tag-length-value format. It's kind of the worst of both worlds because it has no type information encoded in to it, meaning it's useless without the schema, while still having quite a bit of overhead.

Capn'Proto is more like a formalization of C structs in that new fields are only added to the end. If memory serves, on the wire there is no tag, type or length info (for fixed size field types), and everything is rooted at fixed offsets
Just imagine, if you bought a movie or game and could "consume" it on any platform you want, or event download files from web, skipping platforms. While technology is there, and you could prove ownership using public or private blockchain, this is obviously "bad for business" and no company will ever implement it. They better re-sell you same digital goods few times on several platforms.
Matias makes keyboards for typists. I love my matias quiet click, but some people have reported reliability issues (chattering) with the switches in keyboards other than matias' own.

If you want tactile switches they are a great option. Cherry MX browns are linear compared to a snappy rubber dome.

For linear switches I would say maybe the varmilo EC ones? Almost all contactless switches are extremely smooth. The varmilo keyboards are no-nonsense keybaords with good build quality.

For clicky I would say Matias yet again. They are extremely tactile. I haven't seen any reliability issues reported with them, even in non-matias keyboards.
