Thought I'd list a few things I run that are very handy but didn't get much love in that thread:

unbound + void-zones-tools: caching dns w/adblocking (including properly configured DoT so phones don't whine about it, which I couldn't get working with adguard/pihole) and some vanity domain stuff. Unbound is an absolute breath of fresh air after years and years of goddamn BIND

transmission-daemon: ime, the most stable headless client when talking hundreds of Ts. Also has a great RPC interface so stuff like custom RSS integrations are easy to roll

restic ("self-hosted" is arguable but close enough): encrypted incremental snapshot-based backup that just werks; most of my stuff backs up to some of my other stuff, and that stuff gets shuffled off to b2

nginx + nginx-rtmp-module + a bunch of spaghetti Flask: private twitch.tv clone

znc: still going strong and it's been fun seeing some of my circles rotate back to irc, a decade+ later
Can you clarify? You can vertically scale a database a few orders of magnitude. My view is that “some point” is a long way off for most OLTP workloads.

How to buy 2 bhk house in bengaluru
Yeshwanthpur Railway Station near the City Centre is the closest road station to Komarla Heights with trip distance of roughly 12 Kms. The premise is located at a distance of around 42 Kms from Kempegowda International Airport. The BMTC machine service network connects the area to other major areas of the megacity.

Thank you for bringing this up. I didn't realize that an option like this existed; and I'll be considering it the next time I have to redo a parking area.
I would be a lot more motivated to buy this stuff (& pay extra) if the FSF/Mozilla or somebody provided certification for IoT hygiene - devices that don't spy on you, don't have ads, dont send telemetry home and dont even have the capability to access the internet.

This is one of the main reasons I dont buy IoT devices and don't have an oura ring (though I'd like one). I'm skeptical even of the "good" brands and I cant be bothered to set up offline VLANS and the like to "fight" the natural tendency of corporate whores to worm their way into my life uninvited. I think this is why many corporate execs voluntarily forgo opportunities for profit from people like me - power is just so much more enticing.

What's worse is that 5G probably means that IoT devices won't even need our internet connections in future. Imagine a brave new world of subscription lightswitches and TVs to go with already existing subscription phones that turn off when you dont pay the bill. Clearly consumers are clamoring for all of this, since the market will probably one day exist. /s

Organic labeling serves as a good model to follow here.

Obviously before there was a market for organic food many farmers claimed that there wasn't a market for organic food and that outside of a few activists nobody really cared. There was though.

I mean yeah it absolutely is. But the city layouts are also designed with that in mind, which is a challenge too.
I think the reason bubbles down to the fact that people are used to TVs being dumb TVs with a remote that everyone knows how to operate. But the abilities of these TVs are growing exponentially compared to what people expect so they have to find a middleground by having a remote-looking pointing device and a TV-looking interface for this computer with a giant screen.

Eventually I believe it will evolve into something more functional.
Take a job if that feels like the right next step. As someone suggested join an earlier stage startup that has cracked product-market-fit, and you have an opportunity to create a strong relationship with the founders. You may start by leading engineering at such a company based on your experience here, that can transform into leading engineering+product into engineering+product+technical sales into COO etc. I know friends who have gone through similar journeys, and have achieved immense success both financially and spiritually by joining a caravan that is already on the road.

One thing where infrastructure and laws need to catch up is that while ebikes enjoy similar privileges to bikes (access to bike paths, use of mixed pedestrian/cyclist paths etc), many are basically electric scooters, way more powerful and heavy than any bike.

In my town, you see a lot of full-fledged electric scooters with vestigial pedals for pretending it’s a bike (and it seems a togglable speed limiter). They then terrorise the kids and other less confident cyclists, or indeed pedestrians when they fancy like a ride on the pavement.

That’s not great either. The premise of an ebike is something with similar power output to a push bike, just lower user power use. These e-not-really-bikes are dangerous to cyclists.

Instructions per clock have risen steadily, even though the frequency stays the same. About doubled since 2011 according to cinebench[0].

That being said, I agree the faster machines argument doesn't hold much water.

My TV is the final AV output device for 3 games consoles running 8 TV apps.

One thing I’d love for it to do is provide unified close caption styling, always on closed captions, automated sound levelling, and automated color / black levelling.

I’m always surprised when I see a tv that has brightness / contrast sliders. That stuff could be easily automated the same way I calibrate my PC display.

The thing is, you can't pay extra for a TV without ads - that option simply doesn't exist like it does for the Kindle. At best, you can buy a completely different TV from a digital signage vendor for 10x the price, but that's going to be a completely different product.

And what if I want the smart features, just without the ads and tracking? Where's the "unlock ad-free version" button that Android apps figured out a decade ago?
Nah, the UI is not very intuitive, so there's plenty of blame to go around :-)

Hard pass.
Have you tried a Chromecast? Your phone or laptop is the UI, and the software you're using (which does need to explicitly support) sends it to the TV. Netflix, YouTube, VLC, and Chrome all support this.

It's a different workflow than with a mouse and keyboard, and the software's still generally going to prioritize browsing/top recommendations, but at least you're not dealing with an on-TV UX nightmare (even if it is pretty).
One must want to live in Soviet apartment complex. I saw them in ex Soviet Union states, I saw them and lived there in Germany. They were in better shape in Germany. But personally I like wealthier neighborhoods with more Germans living there.
That doesn't necessarily follow, though. Congestion pricing, for example, can penalise car use where it's causing the problems like traffic and where alternatives exist (assuming good public transport, cycling infrastructure, etc., which you need to make any of this work), but not where it's less avoidable and not causing the same kind of issues and alternatives aren't there, like in the countryside.
Google's first infosec report offers oddly basic advice
Your points (2) and (3) doesn't apply. In this hypothetical, the price of Bob's house went down because interest rates soared. That means he's never going to be able to refinance. It also means that even if interests rates just went up to inflation in the past year, Bob is paying less interest on his locked in hypothetical 3.5% rate than his neighbor who bought the next day at only 70% of what he paid.

(1) and (4) are valid concerns. However, if Bob stays there for a long period of time until prices rise again, he'll sell with less capital gains taxes.

So, like in many situations, and how it should work, buying a house works if you stay still for a while, and is worse then renting short term.

Those videos are great! Where were you all located, physically? I'm trying to get some sense for the geographical limits of this sort of thing.
I love the idea of connecting musicians over the internet.

But in many music technology applications latency is critical and from a musician's standpoint the technically achievable latency is not suitable for actual music making apart from some exceptions - even with dedicated hardware.

When making music that depends on a beat, pocket or groove any roundtrip latency larger than 3ms is noticeable and >6ms is not playable.

If you play software synthesizers on your computer you probably will be aware of the issue since the sample rate and buffer settings of your soundcard alone introduce latency that ranges from playable (for me <4ms) to unacceptable.

Since network latency alone can easily get worse than that I don't see technology like this being usable for playing serious music that focusses on rhythm.

Note that the demo they use is piano and singer which in combination with the chosen song is decently forgiving latency-wise.

I'd like to hear a demo with a grove where they switch between each participant to hear each musicians version.
I’ve recently been experimenting with various ETL / SAAS connector tools for my upcoming SaaS, and so far with the AirByte trial I’ve been really impressed. The pricing on alternatives (Albeit slightly different but work for my use case), such as Paragon seem a tad prohibitive. Has anyone else had experience with AirByte so far, and what are your thoughts?

You should get an ebike that has regenerative breaking, not because it's safer/better but because it does not wear anything (except the tyres, hard to avoid that) down when breaking since it's magnetic.
While there are well-known risks of e.g. bank runs, manias, panics and crashes, banking has been around since medieval Florence. I believe it will still be around for a long while.
So I think the good news is, a lot of it can be retrofitted, if there is political/societal/voter will.

It was all retrofitted here in Europe after all.
I'll be honest, this is still better than some more 'professional' CA issuers which sometimes just stops for a whole day. I hope that day is spent on audits and not like because their update regime doesn't support on-the-fly (or virtually on-the-fly by having two or more signing machines) updates.
the problem isnt value or really consent, its that the photographer cant see the future.
it also involves not just value but also cost and risk.
Social media and the ability for things to go viral has made it possible for even the most innocent and mundane/valueless media to have a huge impact/cost to the person in it. It could be anxiety and depression triggered by being in a viral meme. A video of a real or perceived mistake normally overlooked and ignored suddenly ruins their career and some relationships.

The subject, just as with the value may have no real way of knowing the cost and risk. most will assume there is no value, cost or risk like virtually every other photo and have no problem with it. Or they will think of those ever so rare photos that they see all the time at the top of their feed and either want far to much in compensation or never allow any photos they cant control taken.

The problem isnt really consent its that the photographer and subject cant predict the future. If the photographer knew the photo would never see general public viewing, win any prizes be seen by the subject or anyone they know. both the photographer and subject wouldn't care about consent. on the other hand if the photographer knew exactly how popular, how much value would be derived from it and the cost it would have on the subject they wouldn't hesitate to get consent and maybe offer some compensation based on the cost the photo would have on the subjects life.

it is however so rare a single photo has significance on anything, that everyone just assumes its not worth getting consent. only photo's where someone expects privacy is it assumed the cost to the subject is usually too high and requires consent.

lzma usually decompresses significantly faster than bzip2, which is what it mostly replaced in e.g. package distribution. It also decompresses fast enough that for slow enough connections download + decompression is faster than deflate. Compression is slow though, yes.
I cite this paper every chance I can get. Bertand would be rolling in his grave now about the current situation where we've gone completely in the opposite direction.

Here's a Buckminster Fuller quote that I also like to share:
"We should do away with the absolutely specious notion that everybody has to earn a living. It is a fact today that one in ten thousand of us can make a technological breakthrough capable of supporting all the rest. The youth of today are absolutely right in recognizing this nonsense of earning a living. We keep inventing jobs because of this false idea that everybody has to be employed at some kind of drudgery because, according to Malthusian Darwinian theory he must justify his right to exist. So we have inspectors of inspectors and people making instruments for inspectors to inspect inspectors. The true business of people should be to go back to school and think about whatever it was they were thinking about before somebody came along and told them they had to earn a living." ― R. Buckminster Fuller

Neither of these guys were "slackers" and were brilliant men so it's probably a bit scary for the media that the antiwork movement is gaining steam and no, it's not just a bunch of freeloading millennials.

I made a comment to a friend tonight about how odd it is that workplaces seem to be acting irrationally by just demanding more of people and trying to increase their grip, when I realize it's honestly just like an abusive relationship. It would rationally help the business to foster loyalty and cooperation in this type of market but instead the narrative is "NO ONE WANTS TO WORK" and people who have been loyal in positions for many years are just being treated like dirt because their control and narrative is being questioned...and that's pretty much exactly what happens in an abusive relationship when someone tries to leave, the abuser cracks down harder. Utterly bizarre to see such irrational behavior though.
There's no shortage of capital, there is a shortage of risk taking.

It's a coordination problem. The mechanisms that regularly work on this (politics, markets) are not as effective as they could be, because of interdependencies, blockages, ideologies, etc.

I'm at the same stage currently, and while I have lots of experience hiring developers, I'm a bit stuck at what to ask a PA/EA and how to evaluate it. Do you go with any test tasks, stuff like that? Happy to hear from your experience.
No, you are correct. You could do it the way you claim. Build in workarounds, try and get everyone to use less efficient tech, try and fix problems of errors and fraud, but I don't think it ever will happen. It's not going to replace a database? So why do we need it?

Centralized control will always be faster and more efficient and less fragile. Errors can be fixed, fraud can be blocked. Fans of blockchain would be a lot less certain that the tech had value if they were unable to shill a token.

Why isn't Apple jumping in to use them? They could set up their own blockchain right? Well, because the central issuing authority doesn't want to lose control of them. Why aren't ticket resales on the blockchain? Because the central issuing authority doesn't want to lose control of them. And that's what you will run into, every time.

All the things you claim that will be able to be done with the blockchain can already be done. So yeah, I guess we'll wait and see.
In Sweden, people definitely buy houses/apartments on speculation. People don't think about it like that though, they think "prices will continue to rise forever, so I need to get into the housing market as soon as possible so I don't miss out on getting wealthy." This has made the Swedes the second most indebted people in the world.
If rates here where to go up with, say, 2 percent units then it would be a blood bath.

By the way, I never got it why do Android version of the apps (e.g. Chrome) have to be so crippled (e.g. no extensions, no dev tools) and why is the actual Annroid OS not really meant for desktop/laptop computers. IMHO Android could make an excellent general-purpose OS if just some aspects (in the apps mostly) improved.
How much does SIM-locking (i.e. adding a PIN to lock it) mitigate the risk in your experience? I understand that if the telecom service dept. is compromised it's useless, But in a low-effort social engineering attack are the telecom personal trained to suspect the lack of PIN?

Phone numbers are like social security number or at least a parallel identity where I live, Banking to vaccine happens through 2FA auth(Often only through it). Recently banks have started to advise SIM-locking to prevent SIM jacking; My cries to support hardware tokens have been in vain so far.

What's funny is SIM-locking was quite common during pre-smartphone era, I think the Nokias of those time even asked for a SIM-PIN with each reboot; Even then the customer service would just reset it when you said you forgot it. I don't think it would be any different now, after-all they just ask your name & address to confirm identity.

It feels like SMS based 2FA + Oligopoly Telecoms are a disaster waiting to happen.
I desperately want the this too, but a good reason not to is that I got a message from LG about my tv possibly overheating and having a free motherboard replacement even if it doesn’t, which I would never have known about otherwise (likewise if I disabled the network on it, I guess).
The problem is not with these salesmen. With Reliance becoming the single point aggregator for all products sold from these 450,000+ stores, Reliance also becomes the single point of contact for any manufacturer wanting to distribute their products via these stores.

If not a single point, it will at least bring down the number of institutional distributors to just 2 or 3 major distributors.

That presents huge leverage for Reliance and they will be able to dictate purchase prices from manufacturers and also pricing/credit terms which will be extremely one-sided in favour of Reliance.

This will be extremely anti-competitive and will be a death knell to many companies.

This is similar to Amazon/Apple getting monopoly on music/books/video etc.
The BP6 is what got me interested in SMP, but I really moved into SMP with the Tyan Tiger MP (and then MPX when my MP got replaced under warranty, don't remember why). That machine "survived" (with motherboard replacement) from 2001-2007(or 8) when I moved to an Abit IP35-Pro with a Q6600 that lasted me as my daily driver for 10+ years.
