Amazing. Not only do the dealers I've used not use bulk oil (unlike most 3rd party shops) but I get the leftover (new) oil in the original metal can they used. It is definitely the factory specified oil. The specific car is part of the paint scheme directly on the can.

Seems to me reading the thread that the difference is because US dealers use crappy oil so they specify more oil changes? Or maybe it's just greed.
I know recording live music can get hairy, but yikes! How was 16bits not enough? Were all the preamps set to max? Who records at -12db - -6db? Record at a way lower level and boost at the amp stage?
My gut feeling is that any reasonable court would see "JavaScript" and interpret it to include WASM as well.

The purpose of the bill is to ensure that all of the state's public touchpoints are free of proprietary software ownership. The subsection prior says that you shouldn't have to use proprietary software to interact with the government. Then they explicitly mention JavaScript to clarify that websites should also not load proprietary software onto people's computers, either. And WASM is specifically designed to integrate with JavaScript - in fact, it can't even be loaded without it.

The standard for interpretation of contracts and law is that, absent a specific definition of a term in the relevant document, you use the broadly-accepted definition of that term within that industry or endeavor. If you asked a bunch of web developers, "does 'no proprietary JavaScript' also mean 'no proprietary WASM'", they would almost certainly agree.
In this case the OOF points of light are actually vertically oriented ovals. The idea being its reminiscent of "1974" style anamorphic lenses. Its an affectation not unlike digital retro photo filters, except that its the physical lens.
Its not unlike musicians who use vintage equipment because they want to reproduce something as it was done in the past. Its gets a bit dissonant if the movie is set in the present though.
Cost more and worth it are different things. Interested also.
USD 12k works out to probably 1.5k per year of life on the car, USD 125/month. My guess is that the owners aren’t that price sensitive in the first place so why not charge for it, regardless?
You could look at Hyrum's law as cautionary: don't be that person who relies on unspecified behaviour. This might save you from some unpleasant breakage.

But its role for Hyrum and his team is about their burden as engineers. Any observable behaviour they change, no matter how seemingly unimportant, will break somebody who wasn't so cautious, maybe unwittingly.

Example: If you're an experienced programmer you're probably aware of stable sorts. You know if you need a sorted list to stay as it is when sorted you must use a stable sort, and you're sensitive when reading documentation - did it say this sort is stable? No? Then maybe it isn't, and I need to guard against that.

But a new programmer may just assume sorts are stable without ever thinking about it. Naively they might think of course all sorts are stable, why do the extra work to move things that are in the correct place already - without understanding that common sort techniques often aren't stable. And if they at first use sorts on objects with no sense of identity, like the integers or in many languages strings, there's no sign of a problem, all sorts work the same. [1,2,4,4,6,8] gets turned into [1,2,4,4,6,8] and that looks OK. Until one day, that programmer is working with data that has identity and then [1,2,4‡,4†,6,8] turns into [1,2,4†,4‡,6,8] when sorted due to an unstable sort that doesn't care which 4 is which, and the naive programmer's code blows up because they're astonished 4† and 4‡ changed places.
> They're young (and some live in foreign countries)

I don't think it's fair to assume that startup founders who have applied to a Thiel Fellowship did so because of ignorance (or because they are young or "foreign").

This is an amazing opportunity for many people and highly competitive. I even see an upside to companies automatically being able to filter their hiring for people that don't get hung up on this. If someone won't work for a company because a particular VC funded it, I can imagine there a much higher probability of that person causing trouble wherever they end up
This book is probably the most fun I have had with a programming book. I remember going through most of it the first day I cracked it open.

Curious if anyone knows other books that take a similar approach: fun but not dumbed down.

> I would add this opnion risks overlooking, say, Argentinian free-lancers who are paid in crypto because the system surrounding them makes it untenable to use conventional banking. Or the jewler buying precious metals with litecoin to avoid credit card fees.

I did include the unbanked and productive manufacturing (which you neglected to mention until now - are you a jeweler?) in examples of positive use, in my utility list. But you have to assess a technology based on its overall effect.

> So you hate electricity? Join the Amish.

Totally specious.

> Funeral directors want people to live highly reproductive lives, not short lives.

This is overly reductive. Clearly a short term boost in business is a financial boon for funeral directors, as it would be for any business.

> How many mass murders actually happened specifically and only because of the existance of crypto?

Uh, what? Maybe I should just give up trying to explain my point to you if a simple analogy is beyond your comprehension.

> I see crypto like a hammer, it's a tool that can be used morally, immorraly, or merely in a morally neutral fashion.

You can look at actual use to determine the effect of something. Not many people are using F15s for anything else but killing people, so it's fair to call weapons of war broadly immoral.

> Is this supposed to be some sort of ad-hominem attack?

"greed is good" and "unregulated capitalism is the ideal" are libertarian tenets, so yes, I think it's fair to say that they're selfishly self interested. So you consider yourself a libertarian?

> I have a hard time making sweeping generalizations about morality based on one's political choice.

Given that politics is an expression of values, I really don't. If somebody were to say "I don't like Jews and that's why I'm a nazi" (this is an argument from absurdity, BTW) I could reasonably call them a bad person. They also wouldn't need to say the first part because its implicit in the identification. Libertarianism is fundamentally about "fuck you got mine", which I find to be immoral.
thinking of all the ways this won't work and then cursing everyone involved, basically leads to zero new ADUs.. meanwhile, an alcoholic lie in writing, with all the wrong people enforcing it, badly, leads to many actual ADUs being built. Am I wrong in that, factually?
> However I'm old enough to remember the time when the same applied for Internet - majority of people were not interested in messing with modem drivers and PAP/CHAP scripts just to connect to some BBS to chat with people, the idea seemed as ridiculous waste of time if you asked my father. And yet here we are now just some 25+ years later, whole world is connected.

There's a vast gulf between running a server on the public Internet and writing a modem script. When writing modem scripts was necessary to get online very few people actually bothered getting online even if they had a computer capable of doing so. Running a server of any type of the Internet is rarely a trivial exercise. Even when running one on a home system from a residential ISP you've got to poke holes in your router's firewall and maintain the server hardware and software. These are not things most people are even capable of doing let alone being interested in it.

> So perhaps the centralized platforms can't be avoided, or perhaps we need to make running your own server easier? And maybe both ways can co-exist, because different people want different things?

No matter how turn-key you make "running a server" there's going to be technical issues many people won't understand or be able to handle. We already live in a world where turn-key Internet connected devices are exploited en masse by malware.

You're also ignoring one of Moxie's major points that a huge portion of the population gets online via mobile devices. Just the basic design of mobile OSes largely precludes long-running server software running in the background on them. They're also on CGNAT networks with varying IPs and roaming on and off various WiFi networks. The only meaningful way for them to serve content is to bounce it off of centralized servers that don't have the same limitations of power or network connectivity.

OpenRC was a C rewrite of what was previously a bunch of bash scripts, but they still implemented the same rich dependency and function-based init logic; it was miles ahead of Debian's init.d scripts before it became OpenRC. OpenRC largely made it faster, and over the years the configuration became (optionally) more declarative and gained features. The actual OpenRC transition was largely seamless for users, because the init script syntax didn't change.

So the year you're looking for isn't when OpenRC was introduced, but rather when Gentoo started using the OpenRC style of init script, which happened much earlier - it's definitely been like that since I started using Gentoo, at least since 2003 or so.

It's actually a misconception that sysvinit is the whole init system; sysvinit is PID 1. Gentoo still uses sysvinit for PID 1 by default. What matters is what your service manager is - that's OpenRC here.
Some editors are chosen for their creative input. Sometimes it is the editor that convices a director, but it's often a collaboration. Editors are part of the creative team of a production compared to just a grunt level worker. The director, DP, and editor can all collaborate so that the image is conevying the desired feel to match the story and vision. Or so the theory goes.
1. Yep - "glib and disingenuous" was how I assessed your question.

As to 2, from his own post:

I was told I was not allowed to use any company communications channels (email, teams, the Hub, etc.) to discuss the attacks I had experienced. Receiving no support from HR, I [did precisely that] and was fired.
If you surveyed iphone users, I doubt any of them would care about any features you listed. There was article today about ink toner chips, people care that they can't use other toner cartridges in their printers. That is true monopolistic properties and detriment to consumers.

There is literally 2 billion month active whatsapp users which is a direct competitor to imessage and is my default group messaging. There aren't even two billion iphone users.
It's not the color, but the fact that the person with green bubbles will not see what you see if you use comment reactions or replies -- for example if you put a heart reaction on a comment, the android user will not see a heart on the message, and instead will get a separate text that says "Jimmy loved a message" and they can't tell which message you're talking about. So when you interact with green bubble people in iMessage, you have to modify your behavior and find alternate ways to express those reactions, which is annoying.
the plan as i understand it is to have a drone refuel it after about 10 years or so... that might have a camera on it perhaps?

> It’s compelling to look at the non-hosting users, conclude that they are a smashing majority (99.8% !!!!), and make a sweeping conclusion that no one wants to host their own servers. Yet it’s precisely because of those 0.2% that the system is capable of existing. Take them away, and the whole system dies.

The Matrix chat protocol is like this - you have many more users than servers, but you can switch servers, the servers can talk to each other (federated), and there are even multiple implementations of server software.

I've moved almost 100 friends (in their 20s) onto Matrix - Element is getting really good, and some use FluffyChat or SchildiChat. They aren't running their own servers, but they can if they want (unlike Signal), or they can switch down the track.

It's pretty easy to host your own - it took me an hour or two to set a Matrix server up on a $5/month VPS, and maintenance involves running one setup command again: https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy

To pick just a small piece of the pie:

Dependencies in make are equivalent to systemd's Requires= and After= combined. Systemd is far more general in this regard, both in that Requires= and After= are separate concepts, but also in that there is Wants=, BindsTo=, etc. and their inverses (RequiredBy=, Before=, etc.). Sometimes when I'm writing Makefiles I wish Make were capable of expressing some of these concepts.

That is a nice neat and tidy way of thinking about changes. The messy details are things like "oh the default options result in a massive security hole, they need to change immediately". There's also a messy medium ground where behavior changes and its just a question as to if anyone is dependent upon that behavior. It was wrong when it was implemented, never documented, but has a currently defined behavior that most people don't want -- unless they happened to find it and use it and work around it and they'll be broken by the switch. This is the realm of things like the undefined behaviors of the C standard which are compiler-dependent. Any sufficiently complicated API will have those all over the place. You can argue that APIs should never have those kinds of undefined standards, but in reality everyone does shoddy work and people accept PRs that they shouldn't (and the flip side of trying to be careful is people yelling about open PRs that have been stalled for months/years trying to sort out a sufficiently robust solution).

I agree free software could use a better name, but Libre isn't it. It has two issues for native English speakers:

- It's not clear how to pronounce it. Lih-ber? Leeb-ray? Lih-breh? Libe-er? Leeb-ruh? Etc.

- It sounds like it originated in French or Spanish, which is not really accurate.

I honestly think this is something that has held LibreOffice back over the years. When you're trying to convince your superiors to adopt a massively disruptive software change, the last thing you want is for it to sound foreign (from whichever country you may be in) and be difficult to pronounce.

Look folks, yes I know I flunked out of BS Molecular degree but..

It will be a pandemic of 5 to ten years in total.

In short words like you were 5, two factors converged to make this a
reality:
1. World for the most part failed to lead like China an stop it cold fast and yes places like the USA gets fair blame for that.

2. Speed of mutations.

Only have one of those factors then it would be far less years of a pandemic.

That is not to say that there is not hope on the near future where we take either a booster or one pill per year to contain it however.

But, 30 years ago a lady wrote a very famous book called.. the Coming Plaque..

She pointed out that it was not Science failing us towards facing the next pandemic but governments putting public health on a diet.

Kind of. This case is a bit funky, because I tend to use "non-system" package managers like Pkgsrc and Brew, as well as tools like ASDF-VM and Conda. However I don't always install or set up all these tools on all machines.

It all tends to operate in "layers", mostly governed by the sequence of PATH entries. Usually there are too many individual programs to alias, and often which version I want to use is determined dynamically.

Ultimately doing things the way I do them makes sense for me, but it's definitely not very simple and I wouldn't recommend it for most people.

In one small EU country with socialist public healthcare that was already in disarray years before COVID, we see largely successful introduction of totalitarian government methods, similar to those used by the Nazi and Bolshevik regimes from 20th century.

On the premise of hospitals being full, hard freedom restricting rules are introduced for a selected group of people while government ignores the rules when it would mean loosening up the restrictions. Selective use of scientific facts in government narratives (vaccine benefits vs vaccine failures), TV stations and major web sites are one sided propaganda mouthpieces (government gave them money to ensure they will help out). Public figures criticizing government policies are being smeared, healthcare professional criticizing government policies are being smeared and threatened, some even investigated by committees for "spreading disinformation about pandemic".

The government has learned to use the word "science" and that is a major problem. It uses the word to shield itself from criticism and is foisting on the dangerous thesis that consensus of a small, invisible and government-chosen group of people to handle the pandemic is the definition of scientific truth.
