> If 1000 drivers are being unsafe, are they not all contributing? Surely the one driver that actually causes a fatal accident doesn't absorb the blame from the other 999.

1000 drivers contribute to 1 accident ??? No they are essentially independent events. Drivers can cause a bunch of externalities (Noise, Pollution, Traffic) but most are not causing or contributing to fatal accidents.

And I would not solely blame the driver/participants in a fatal accident, you have to look at the system they are operating in (Car Manufactures, Road/Highway designs etc etc)
How slick is the GB integratation with iOS devices in comparison to the AirPods. Been considering getting some AP3s because I keep forgetting my ATH-M50Xs as they are large.
Thanks for the reply, you hit the nail right on the head. Your comment also inspired an interesting thought, that "diet" is not just what we eat, it's what we consume in general, which includes content. I had not thought of that before.
The article is about micro-scale connectomes where each connection from each neuron to another neuron is identified. This is done using Electron Microscopes at nanometer resolution imaging. You are referring to fMRI/MRI based macro-scale connectomes where connection resolution is at the scales of thousands of neurons without any knowledge to wiring diagram at single-neuron resolution.
If you aren't aware that DNS propagation is actually about waiting for cached DNS records to expire then maybe you shouldn't be the one debugging DNS issues in the first place?

I think propagation it's highly descriptive. You make a change and then you wait for various DNS servers to acknowledge that change (once cached records expire).

My recollection of the story is a bit spotty and I can't re-read in full right now, but:

I think the point this is trying to make is that we accept death of old age as a natural fact and think it is odd to want to "solve" it, but wouldn't accept it at all if it were caused by some personified actor?

Of course we don't "just accept" it, we have long considered a large fraction of deaths "too early" and worked on postponing them with various treatments.
Saw that my above comment in which I opened up about my loneliness got down voted. This is why I withdraw from society and experience loneliness. Loneliness is the fundamental nature of my existence; it is a deep spiritual feeling that is both tragic yet freeing. Read about Buddhism they understand how to redirect loneliness in a positive direction.
Vimeo is the only thing that comes close. All the open source offerings lack the dedicated apps for dedicated media players.

To be a serious alternative you’d need apps for Apple TV, Android TV, Roku plus iOS and Android and a solid desktop browser.

> But it's actually important to "do your own research", and not just listen to authority. Provided you actually know how, i.e. you can find accurate sources and distinguish fact from fiction.

And to know if you’re only seeing narrative-approved sources, when contra-narrative sources have been suppressed.

Lots of folks got fooled by Iraq WMD because you couldn’t say anything to the contrary without being fired. Other examples, some more recent, are available.
It's depend. For CJK fonts you don't want single big .woff2, you want to subset each font to smaller subset of characters, which Google Font does automatically.
I think a lot of sites end up affected by "CDN accumulation". There can quite genuinely end up being a dozen or more different servers enabling a single website, just from all the third party CSS, JS libraries, analytics and fonts.

The trouble I find with relying on many disparate 3rd party CDNs is the unreliable response times, especially if any of your users are outside of the US. From Australia we often find a site serving locally in under 30ms, then sit and wait for 300ms per request for all the third party assets to load.

The first thing I do when looking at optimizing the felt performance of a website is move everything back to the application host, and then add a single CDN if the traffic is likely to be high.

> because some fraction of them are going to take advantage of their access to wreck things up for the company.

These stories always float around, but this is quite rare and depending on what “wrecking” means, could end in jail time for the ex-employee. Most are capable of making that connection therefore most don’t. Yet the fear and treatment from upper management for this mostly fictitious hypothetical still runs rampant. There’s even a high profile case of an ex-Ubiquiti employee having a real good time because they wanted to extort their employer.
I would too.

I have the intuition that system-related programs tend to prefer C (and friends) for API compatibility: you can access all the syscalls no matter the ABI or weird memory semantics or even callback requirements. In theory, every language should have a standard library that exposes almost all of the system API surface, but in practice there's a long tail of awkward to implement and seldom-used API surface that most standard library writers just shrug their shoulders at.

But yeah, I'd be interested in hearing specifics.
Ah yea ok, thanks!
> I was thinking the opposite point: sometimes the experienced doctor or researcher made a mistake, and the guy who posted something on Reddit is correct. Usually not, but sometimes.

If a researcher made a mistake and if 50 people on reddit said 50 different things, at random, one might be correct by chance.

Being correct once means nothing unless you are correct most of the times, but by then you are the researcher in the scenario above.
> Apart from network effect, and Google's Ad Monopoly

This is like asking "why don't we live on the moon except that there is no atmosphere there and it's pretty far away?". Those two reasons are the main reasons Youtube is the clear winner in its field, saying "apart from that" does not make a lot of sense. If you'd want to start a competitor to take on Youtube, you either need to focus on a tiny niche not well served by Youtube (extreme far right or far left personalities perhaps, or porn) or you would need to find a way to match Google money (maybe partner up with FB/Microsoft/Amazon/etc) so you can buy popular creators away from Youtube.
Not to defend Texas, but every federal contract contains the same language. That's just as true if you live in San Francisco.

My fibre provider in the UK has been IPv6 for a while, I have a /56.

Unfortunately, they use CGNAT which is a nightmare for anyone who uses the internet.

I pay them £5 per month to lease an IPv4 address rather than sit behind the CGNAT sharing the IP with all of my neighbors.
If you spend all your time just mulling about online, or watching Netflix, or playing a game, then it's not surprising that you are lonely. You are engaging in solo activities that other people can't really join.

It is not anymore surprising that you are overweight if you don't exercise, and especially if you aren't cooking at home ever.

Cut out any drugs, go to bed at a reasonable hour, exercise, get a hobby, eat decently. If you don't know how to do those things or have medical issues preventing you, go to a doctor/therapist/personal trainer/nutritionist/life coach.

No you aren't going to become a social butterfly just because you finally logged off your game, but if you try a few different organized social events (board game meetups, hiking group, whatever) you will probably start talking to a few people.

If you still can't, then you need to talk to a therapist. You probably have either never developed or allowed your social skills to decay and need help to get them back on track.
Also: Get one of their managed webhosting packages (starting from 1,90 €/month) and you'll get a domain with it. You can't get your own mail hosted for much cheaper.

Seems more like Quill's staff is joining Twitter than anything. Clearly Quill itself isn't joining anything as it's getting turned off and all data deleted.
Network effect, and Google's Ad Monopoly account for 99.9% of the dominance of YouTube. Only Facebook could launch a competing product (maybe Twitter). It would take millions (or Billions) to build a platform just to end up like one of the many competitors (Vimeo). There will be something that kills YouTube, but it will look different (or work differently).

Unfortunately, the firewall offering that Hetzner provides for their dedicated servers is IPv4 only.

So, if you're using software on the server which mucks around with firewall rules (eg using OS provided firewall on the server isn't good enough), then you're sad out of luck.

And their current IPv4 firewall has a 10 rule limit per server, which can't be raised. Mind boggling. :(

I've asked Hetzner if they have any plans to extend their firewall to include IPv6 support, or raise the # of firewall rules, but they have no plans to at this stage. :( :( :(

50%+1 of a standard living persons actionable career. Do assuming 18 to 70. That makes 52/2 = 26 and +1 = 27. For sake of even numbers, you can fight over 25 or 30. I don't mind either way, both are far better than the current status.
Thanks for the link. Of the three major concerns raised by Sabine about halfway through the article, my (uneducated) take is that this work addresses the first one: production of an apparent negative energy distribution.

And like with files, you are also free to read chapters of a book in any order. But files have little to do with lines, no? Of course a function definition in every sane language is continuous text, even though you "are free" to read it backwards or starting in the middle.
The problem with media platforms that market themselves as pro-free-speech is that they attract alt-right content - and their hyper-toxic followers - like a warm pile of shit attracts flies, even if that's not the intent of the platform operators.
Hey, you have my sympathy and understanding. And I've certainly been through some dark times mentally, and those often had strong elements of loneliness -- the kind that people say they 'battled my way through' as if fighting your self gets you anywhere and also assuming that it is somehow wrong or unacceptable to be in a dark place, i.e. it must be battled, or that the battling is what gets you to a different mental place...

So I get that from where you sit, you see that

> Loneliness is inherent to the human body and soul

But I've come to see that if that is true, it is only true in the way that there are shadows on a sunny day. The shadows let you know that the light is shining. The inherent nature of all life is love.

It can be damn hard to find sometimes, and ego and modern western culture seem bent on destroying it, but it is there.

Personally I have fond memories of MyHDL [0], which may be seen as another "code-to-silicon" converter (or at least as the first step of a code-to-silicon workflow).

While your premise sounds sound, not all of your examples do. As an example, you might be positively surprised about the role of some of the catholic clergy in Nazi Germany and outside of it. Which was something completely different from the catholic hierarchy at the papal level, but I digress...
I think it’s bad advice to push people away from running email servers. This is how the gmail monopoly was created. It’s better if we all do it and the ecosystem improves. Then we can have better spam filters for example.
I was going to go with 10 years. I mean, nobody cared about Madonna's "Ray Of Light" beyond 1999.

On the other hand, artists - like Dolly Parton - have made long careers out of songwriting that have carried them into their senior years, so it's a balance.

Clearly 99 years is absurd. Maybe 20 years is the balance to strike. Dolly would still be doing just fine with that term.

The most common questions we’re asked by visitors to GDS are things like:

“How did it all start in the first place?”
“How did you get where you are now?”
“How can I get my government/team/organisation to do similar things?”

This is an attempt to answer those.

Quite a lot of people would suspect that the the initial reason for reimplementing SMB on Mac OS X with smbx was that Samba chose to use GPLv3 for newer versions, rather than any direct technical reasons.
I don't think the benefits of this outweigh the complexity and time costs to create and operate it. Having a scheduled task patch the servers regularly with extremely limited "break the glass" RBAC on your servers is better for 99% of environments.
But there's plenty of things made 10 years ago that are still very relevant and still generating money for the creators. I think that's the concern.
It does have competitors. IMO, Odysee/LBRY is the most viable one but only time will tell because all the competitors lack some things and have been slow to develop.

The competitors have a hard time gaining traction because in the way many of us would expect because we live in a different world from when YouTube first became a thing.

YouTube in 2005 was way different. You could find just about anything on there. Pranks, home videos, entire TV shows, bumfights, skits, you name it. Mostly young people used it, and back then the youth were a little more "based" than my impression of Gen Z today. I remember older folks like my parents almost universally dismissing YouTube as "a bunch of crap" and how wrong I felt they were. Guess who turned out to be right about the future of information and entertainment!

Today, I'd wager everyone's interacted with YouTube at least once. There is nothing edgy or fringe about YouTube anymore. It's a mainstream media platform saddled with its past that it just can't shake. Without big advertisers and big audiences, it wouldn't be sustainable, thus it has developed to not offend the normies or their political allies.

Many have moved over to other platforms, but they are essentially the same kind of audience and creators that were on YouTube back in the old days. The so-called normies who didn't take YouTube seriously back then are now easily frightened of the dangerous content found on alt-tech. They are unlikely to ever move away from the warm fuzzy feeling only provided by the MSM and Silicon Valley.

Although I desire people be a little less allergic to supposedly dangerous content, can we really blame people for being disinterested or avoidant to YouTube competitors?

Maybe this is the way it should be. Average Joes/Janes/Jaydens will be happy on YouTube and TikTok, and the ends of the bell curve will find their place on smaller platforms that aren't interested in pleasing everyone.

Really? Tilde is a dead key on a typical Swedish keyboard, meaning that you have to type AltGr+~ followed by space. Technically, the space is not needed for letters that ~ doesn't compose with, but having to think about that is part of the pain.

I also can't agree that it's almost the same hand movement, you have to use your right thumb for AltGr while also reaching for the key with your right hand. On an English layout you'd use your pinky for shift, or even your other hand.

It does, but not in the form of video-only platforms.

In terms of medium/long form videos, plenty of time is spent watching those on Instagram and Facebook. For shorter "clip"-style videos, those are watched on TikTok, Twitter, and Snapchat.

Then you have livestreaming, in which Twitch and once again Facebook/Instagram have large viewership.
A lot (but not all) of YouTube's problems would go away if they 1) used the actual DMCA and not their own system that allows for things that would be illegal under the DMCA and 2) stopped being retaliatory (latest example, deleting comments from creators critical of the dislike count removal). But they have a huge hegemony, so there's no incentive whatsoever for those two things to happen.
Quantizing Clip with ONNX
My grandfather heated with wood in just about the easiest way possible apart from the german self-filling pellet stoves. He designed and built the house specifically for wood heating with some very clever ideas.

The back wall of the attached garage has built-in sturdy shelving that holds months of firewood neatly stacked, eliminating the cold walk to a shed for something to burn.

The basement wall shared with the garage he built a cold room outside the insulation envelope of the house. The room has a chute from the garage you can slide wood down, but since the cold room isn't part of the insulated envelope you're not losing heat to the garage. The woodstove is only a few feet from the cold room exterior door, so adding wood to the fire is just a few steps and the chute only has to be re-filled every few days.

Still had to haul ashes out from time to time, but overall I've never seen a better setup.

Going from college, surrounded by people looking to socialize, to who-knows-what, is quite a transition. I bought my house near public transit options and within walking distance of entertainment/recreation options on purpose. I know that's not always easy to find, but like you say, a significant part of this is a policy choice, not just because of public transportation, but zoning could play a part in it as well. The city I live in has since given grants to businesses building along public transit routes and it is having a positive effect on people being out and about.
