> On one hand we have scientists that are probing the nature of reality and on the other we have politically opportune believers slash do-gooders,

This false dichotomy is key to the false comparisons with Lysenkoism, etc. E. O. Wilson did not represent all scientists even during his working career and many of the people criticizing him are also scientists using their scientific expertise. The author of the Scientific American piece is “an associate professor in the Family Health Care Nursing Department and a clinician-scientist at Advancing New Standards in Reproductive Health at the University of California, San Francisco.” — hardly a political apparatchik. Some of the most outspoken criticisms of his work came from Richard C. Lewontin (a population geneticist) and Stephen Jay Gould (a paleontologist).

Similarly, Razib Khan is someone who is at least comfortable using his expertise in forums which do not shy away from race politics — for example, he lost a contract writing for The New York Times when his regular contributions to Taki's Magazine, a very conservative venue which was at least neo-Nazi-adjacent (Richard Spencer was the managing editor). That doesn't mean that we should dismiss Khan's writing entirely but we should recognize that he's a human rather than the objective voice of science and his work also needs to be read with an understanding of how his political positions influence it.
Dinosaur shaped chicken nuggets always get a chuckle out of me.
> Are there other architectural reasons it's particularly suited to pijul?

Yes, I originally wrote it because I wanted to fork tables without copying any byte. This is how channels (similar to Git branches) are implemented in Pijul.

> I wonder how closely tied together the two codebases are on a practical level.

Pijul can use a generic backend, although in practice only variants of Sanakirja have been implemented. Sanakirja is generic enough to handle different workflows, although large values aren't implemented yet (they aren't hard to implement, I just never needed them and nobody else did it).
Second OP's point is that yes, race is a social construct, with clear and consistent impacts in real people's lives every day. The census exists to measure things that may be used to inform policy.

Therefore, something such as race, even if it is an arbitrary social construct used to divide based on nothing more than skin color, is important to measure against other factors such as income and address. It helps you decide when/where/what is being discriminatory.

Race should be a weaker social construct, yes. But living in Infinite Fun Space doesn't help anyone today in the real.
I would imagine they’re overwhelmed atm. I think being a serious crime has kept the theft down for some time. Before this I’ve only had one package go missing in 10 years and I think that’s because the package was super tiny and got lost.
Thank you. I don't necessarily need a diagnosis, I'm just looking for an explanation for some of my non-neurtypical traits that bipolar doesn't account for. I don't blame my pdocs for not being to tease out the difference because it's subtle and I couldn't describe it well. But it might be interesting to investigate further now that I know it's possible.
Recruiters will just dishonestly check all the boxes that you're looking for. They don't care if they waste your time with a bad match. They carpet bomb everyone with their 'opportunity' because it's no cost to them.
I used to "find" scrap metal in the rail yards. The only real tool the railroads have to prevent theft is to enforce trespassing laws.
10Gbase-T does 55m with Cat6, or the full 100m with Cat6A, both of which are ubiquitous and cheap. It's probably more to do with the expense and power consumption of 10Gbase-T PHY's.
> Docker images are layered for a reason. If you’re having to download multi gigabyte docker layers multiple times, something has gone very wrong.

Well the images need to be in some order, and if you are fine tuning the very initial parts of the image, this can happen.

But it seems a better transfer algorithm could be used for those individual layers. It rather seems like if they don't match, everything's transferred, while there could be a lot better options as well. If we consider that they are structured like file systems then it opens even more options.

---

So I took a peek on my local Docker installation. It seems the layer files on the drive are gzipped json.

That's right, .json.gz, _that includes the files BASE64-encoded_.

Yes, I believe there is room for improvement, if this is also the format they are transferred in.
I saw a project a while ago that was a non-Git version control system that used the Git disk format. I thought that was a pretty great idea. Totally compatible with all of the existing Git stuff, and the Git disk format is pretty good, but you can avoid all the UX mistakes Git made.

I haven’t been on social media for years but maintain a minimal LinkedIn for professional purposes. To me, it seems a great choice I made years ago. There’s too much life to live and not enough time to let randos on the Internet into your time. Increasingly, I see people unable to disconnect from social media. Whatever happens there seems immediately wired into their brain (and by their choice to some extent).

Edit-If something makes you feel consistently bad or worse about yourself then tuning out or disconnecting from it is a sane choice. Even murderers can lead meaningful lives behind bars. (Dostoevsky was good for this insight)

It's the fundamental problem of Bitcoin right now.

Right now and for a few years already this is ongoing and is hurting people and our planet.

And I did put up clear arguments don't put 'i don't respect it's in my mouth. I did not say that.

I'm not saying crypto coins itself is nothing we should research but we don't need to support Bitcoin to continue researching the technology or the idea behind it.

windows docker images are incredibly bloated. I don't think I've seen one that size, but the base image for a windows container is like 17GB by itself, if I remember correctly. Basically just pulling down an entire Hyper-V image.
I'm a very happy Pop OS user for the last year and other Linux flavors long before that. Windows as a kid because where I grew up the Apple ecosystem is just prohibitively expensive.

The work System76 is doing is phenomenal.
He does not want transactions reverted, he wants Bitcoin Core to change the rules of who can spend coins to allow him to make new transactions that are currently not allowed. He is implementing this in his own Bitcoin fork, Bitcoin SV, to demonstrate that it can be done.

This having to re-write things is obviously Rust’s fatal flaw.

I cannot wait for the next great language, the one that brings all Rust’s advantages which is a pure superset so that it can still compile existing code. Surely something like that ought to end all these petty language rivalries forever!

I understood this assertion differently from the comment you replied to: "it seems everywhere is relatively cooler than what it should be"

AKA it's cooler than the "normal" temperature, where "normal" is something like mean / median for that day over the past 10/20/50 years or whatever.
I think the pushback to that is basically the philosophy of The Big Lebowski, which ends up being some flavor of Stoicism (John Goodman's character has a strong opinion on both the Eagles and nihilists). Attributing evil to man for thriving and expanding is a bit strong; of course it's more fun to be the first one in a new territory, but we're not bad for striving to do it.
Answer as a liberal: yes, it is bigoted and hateful.

You'll see people from both sides doing all sorts of pirouettes to justify why when the others do it it's bad, but when they do something similar it's justified, or they'll point out to other stuff to deflect the criticism. In any sufficiently large group of people you'll always find people who are not good at admitting mistakes or doing any self reflection, that goes for conservatives, liberals, socialists, fascists... You can argue it's to different extents, but all have plenty of it.

My experience with social media is that it tends to amplify the stuff that's most reactionary, causing it to spread until the fastest growing one takes over, kind of like a mould on stale bread. The analogy kind of works for new websites too, as it seems new social media is often more enjoyable and it takes some time for toxicity to start seeping in.
They removed-removed them. As violently murdered many. You don't have to trust Wikipedia it was covered by many news site at the time. Even aljazheera.
I don't understand such a website anyway. A website like OpenSubtitles seems like overkill for passing around text and timestamps. Why not use something like GitHub? Why couldn't the project simply be a big git repo? It would even be easier.
Alas, no whitelisting option. A service should start in an empty filesystem root without network access - and if we had something as convenient as pledge() also without any allowed syscalls - and then you could only add what is needed.

firejail does this a bit better but it also started out with a blacklist approach and it's more geared towards desktop application use, not system services.

Not to be too rude about it, but everybody outside the US hates it. Go to any European forum and see how they roll their eyes when an American says "I'm half Irish, quarter Norwegian and 342/2636ths Italian."

There's a tendency to treat ethnicity as a clothing accessory rather than a culture.
Sure, you can go to Cyprus. but what if an Israeli want to marry a person from the West Bank... will the state of Israel approve of that person from the West Bank to fly to Cyprus? Nope. Not a chance in hell.

I've been to Israel a bunch of times. I've also been to Palestine and Lebanon. Israel isn't a "secular western state." For one, Israel does not have a written constitution, even though according to the Proclamation of Independence a constituent assembly should have prepared a constitution by October 1, 1948. That delay in the preparation of a constitution resulted primarily from problems that emerged against the background of the alleged clash between a secular constitution and the Halacha (the Jewish religious law).

So even from a legal perspective, Israel can't decide whether it's a secular or religious state.
The sahara seems like a bit of a hassle compared to the taiga (russia to canada). The real problem with growing forests is that they do not store significant amounts of carbon after they reach maturity. They did during the carboniferous, but after fungi figured out how to decompose cellulose they haven't, and wont. Fast growing plants only capture carbon faster, but the total storage would be less per area.

However, we do know of how the deposits of fossil fuels formed in the first place, and most places newer than the carboniferous, formed at the bottom of deep lakes and especially oceans. They form from the anoxic compaction of marine snow. Either during massive algae booms, or more slowly from slightly larger corpses.
This process is slow for several reasons, but a significant, in particular for the latter category, one is the lack of surfaces for attachment on the open ocean.
The creation of large floating artificial coral reefs could provide this, and with it a highly productive rich ecosystem. We could further fertilize these, with iron in particular being rare, but also regular fertilizer.

I don't think that 1.5mm figure is accurate.

Assuming the power consumption for 1 BTC transaction is 1173 kWh as stated in the article, then we are off by a few orders of magnitude.

This is enough energy to run an IBM z15 mainframe at maximum configuration (~30kW consumption) for ~39 hours [0].

I am 100% certain that Visa can process more than 1.5 million transactions on such a platform in that amount of time.

Luke Hohmann designed "Innovation games" to help with collaborative decision-making during the meetings. It's a set of games that a team and customers/managers play together to build a shared vision.

They are most helpful in hierarchical environments when subordinates are reluctant to voice their thoughts against a person's in power opinion (manager, a more senior employee, etc.). Turning the discussion into a game enables everyone to participate without fear of breaking the social tabu of speaking up against the highest-paid person in the room.

"Six thinking hats" by Edward de Bono, psychologist, is another tool that helps to "gamify" discussions.

I have used Six Hats with excellent outcomes, usually when the team could not agree on a solution. They worked well in fast ("production is down, do we restore from backup or continue migration?") and slow ("what is the next most important thing to do") discussions.

Unfortunately, I did not have the opportunity to explore much of "innovation games." The reluctance usually comes from the business folks.

Curious to hear if anyone has experience with those methods or knows other collaborative decision-making tools!

> The airline industry in some countries may have that culture. In some countries it may not.

Sure, there is variation. One fairly good indication of countries that have a bad incident investigation culture are those that have airlines banned from flying in the EU.

I'd like to point out a difference in your example though. South Korea did have some problems with crew resource management, because of the culture of seniority. A lot of effort has been spent on solving that problem. However, that is a separate issue to the idea that incidents are brushed under the carpet. That's a different culture problem. Both are bad.

This is a very handy command in day-to-day work, actually. For example, I use to limit the total amount of memory available to an application, including page cache:

$ systemd-run --user --scope --property=MemoryHigh=1G qbittorrent

It works just as you'd expect — if qbittorrent's working set goes above 1024 MiB, it pushes the least recently used page out of the page cache. Doesn't really have any effects on upload or download speeds, while helping to keep more useful data in memory.

Many isolation flags are not available in `systemd-run --user`, though, so if you'd like to have some protection you either have to combine `sudo systemd-run` with `su -c`, or wrap the command in firejail.

Do they not want to enable access to god mode because you can tinker with the treadmill parameters and do unsafe things or because they think Netflix will somehow break the treadmill?

If it's the former, then they should keep god mode for treadmill service operations inaccessible but also allow loading apps like Netflix and Hulu. I'd wager that streaming apps are what most of the people using god mode want.
Sanakirja has atomic commits, the only hypothesis is that just a few bytes can be written to disk atomically (I don't remember, but certainly at most 8 bytes).

Splitting the app into different codebases or databases will complicate development, and the speed at which you're able to iterate. Ultimately, you will want to be presenting the same data in different ways for the different roles (managers and employees). A single app where features and UI depend on a user's role or credentials will be easier to develop and reason about.
Luckily there are these rocks which get hot just lying around, more so if you concentrate them, and we have millions of years of current power consumption of those to use. Perfectly CO2 free too.

> That's peanuts

Factually? No discussion there. A dozen million is less then 70-85 million. That's how numbers work.

Morally? We are talking about the lives of human individuals. Concluding that a dozen million dead is "peanuts" and therefor a justifiable argument to defend the purported useful nature of nuclear weapons is reprehensible.

It's the exact same consideration made by military leadership when it comes to going to war or deploying nuclear weapons. It's a manner of thinking which should send shivers through anyone's spine. Why? Because it's a way of thinking that reduces the value of anyone's life to either "friend" or "foe" / "strategically valuable" or "without value".

Whether it's the sterile press of a button, or hand-to-hand combat, the end result is the always same: suffering.

I went a couple time in early 2000's and loved it. I started to sour on it when a massive amount of oil was lit on fire for an art installation a little later. Now it's limping along in the pandemic, but the organizers still want to set large fires in times of climate crisis. I don't care if they do carbon offsets, it's still not a good look. The symbolism has changed. Why not do a light show? But no, they want to be "buring" man. I think the festival won't be able to come back from the pandemic and the increasingly severe climate crisis. The participants will look more and more out of touch.
