To me that's one of the benefits for most things, I can understand something like not wanting to take a feature bump when there's still support for a version.

You can just install that version out of aur and that package will track that specific major version.

Next time instead of an upgrade. Backup, remove the pacman package, install the air package and restore and you'll save yourself a lot of headaches.

Curious how Breach of Contract can fly, considering TPG never agreed to a contract with AA to begin with. And AA is obviously not suing their own customers.
Sounds like Austin.

City council approved an increase in taxes, and used part of it to raise the APD budget [1]. This didn't translate into a more effective force, and the perception among citizens is that police has given up on misdemeanors or infractions.

Incidentally, one of my neighbours is an officer, and his major complaints are the lack of new recruits, which is odd since that is ultimately the department responsibility, and the inability to charge people with possession of weed, since the city has effectively decriminalise it.

Do you have a definitive source form Google on that? There seem to be conflicting messages from Google. (Not helped by the "may" wording on this page: https://apps.google.com/supportwidget/articlehome?article_ur... )
I don't think there's a "line of thought". This isn't a logic problem - it's a business decision. Whatever Google wants to happen will happens. And some people have interpreted the available information - or have spoken to google representatives - and been told that they'll be able to keep using "additional" services such as music, movies, youtube, photos. And - this being google - other people have been told the opposite.
Now I want to create a database/app like friendorfoe.us and sell it to Google to integrate...

I'd like to point out that megi (the author of that site/kernel) refuses to upstream the improvements to the mainline linux tree, which is why it's still impossible to boot the PinePhone with a kernel.org kernel and have things working. This is not even just an issue for the PinePhone but all other Allwinner A64 based devices hit the same issues and now have to pick patches from that kernel.

The second megi decides the PinePhone or the A64 isn't interesting anymore (since the new one is Rockchip rk3399) that whole tree maintainership will collapse.
That's super cool! WebUSB is something I'm really interested in learning and WebBluetooth. Cross platform apps that need sensor access is a bit of a pain and the web seems like a no brainer to solve that.

Also cool to see a competitor to Texas Instruments. I'm in the USA and had to get TI calculators for classes.

That'd be nice.

Storage of Intermediate Nuclear Waste requires 10,000 years of storage a product like this might be useful for printing all the signage and procedure manuals that you’d want to keep with the waste.
I used a pre-build image from Hydra. The mobile-nixos project site links to their Hydra jobs:

https://hydra.nixos.org/jobset/mobile-nixos/unstable

That links to the latest build for pinephone aarch64, e.g. https://hydra.nixos.org/build/164693256

That gives the output path, e.g. /nix/store/6py525nywqdbyjs7jy1rm9vw53hmm5f1-pine64-pinephone_full-disk-image.img

We can look up that hash on cache.nixos.org, e.g. https://cache.nixos.org/6py525nywqdbyjs7jy1rm9vw53hmm5f1.nar...

That gives us the download URL, e.g. https://cache.nixos.org/nar/087ljdm30k8wqgdhdjdhc15bmkk01g69...

We can unxz that, then trim the leading bytes according to the Nar file format (described in Dolstra's PhD thesis, figure 5.2, page 93 https://edolstra.github.io/pubs/phd-thesis.pdf ). Since this .nar only contains one file, we can just ignore the header bytes (they're padded to multiples of 8 bytes; I think in this case we need to skip the first 96 bytes). We can do this while dd-ing the image to our SD card, e.g.

sudo dd if=087ljdm30k8wqgdhdjdhc15bmkk01g69zqvr3gv13sra8pkgk387.nar of=/dev/my-sd-card bs=96 skip=1

This is quite convoluted, but I did this while stuck on a crappy Chromebook ;)

Note that the above images have no usable user accounts. I mounted the resulting SD card and edited the /etc/shadow file to enable root login without a password. I could then log in to a text console, using an external keyboard :)
It sounds like this might apply to Oculus/Meta head-sets as well. I would buy one tomorrow if they didn't require a facebook account in good standing.
"A feeling of safety comes from within." --- This is an actively counterproductive statement. Just look at the impetus behind "defund the police": the real police violence causes people of color to feel unsafe. On the flipside, crime often involves real violence that makes people feel unsafe. You can argue that policing isn't the answer to crime, but real danger is the root of feeling unsafe, even if (like everything) it is mediated by perception. A "culture of safety" must be rooted in a reality of safety.
Such an odd example, though; as in that time they also lost a lot to people that refused to get vaccinated. :(

Do you have a good link that lays out the numbers?
The market is not the problem. The misaligned setup of the market, where the interests of the most of the consumers are misaligned with interests of those who produces or pays for the content, is the problem. Imagine a grocery store which is actually a money laundering front for mafia, so it's much more interested in looking like a grocery store than actually selling any groceries. Do you think they'd sell high quality goods? Would they have the best prices? Would their customer service be excellent? Now imagine the mafia bought all (or almost all) grocery stores in town and turned them into money laundering outlets. How is your grocery shopping experience now? That's what we're having with ads.

The smart money already moved away from LIBOR discounting for pricing and risk models straight after 2008, and has been on Fed Fund OIS discounting for a long time; so SOFR OIS is actually going to be the second move.
There exist people who own their own hardware and are not providing an API to run arbitrary code.

Since the issue's root cause was a pathological database software issue, Roblox would have suffered the same issue in the public cloud. (I am assuming for this analysis that their software stack would be identical.) Perhaps they would have been better off with other distributed databases than Consul (e.g., DynamoDB), but at their scale, that's not guaranteed, either. Different choices present different potential difficulties.

Playing "what-if" thought experiments is fun, but when the rubber hits the road, you often find that things that are stable for 99.99%+ of load patterns encounter previously unforeseen problems once you get into that far-right-hand side of the scale. And it's not like we've completely mastered squeezing performance out of huge CPU core counts on NUMA architectures while avoiding bottlenecking on critical sections in software. This shit is hard, man.
A good alternative with similar results is Delta 8. Lower potency and less likely to cause any freak out moments.

I believe that the consensus is that it did cause a small amount of harm and there likely are horror stories you never heard, that's why the practice stopped, but giving children meth is called adderal.

Children also had regular access to small amounts of coke and heroin probably in your grandparents or great grandparents life, remember Coca Cola and laudanum was used for teething. You've never heard of harm from that. Your test says all of them pass.
> I found that being aware of whether you will be part of the cost center or profit center in a company is very useful when deciding where you should work.

Yeah this is something I know and understand, I also appreciate this line of thought.

What I don’t understand is about police in particular, if police is “law enforcement”. I’d expect some laws to be national, then some laws to be state, then going down and down until we reach a single small town where something might be different from the next one but they should share many things… how is it that the enforcement part of those same laws is so subjective?

IMHO the law has two sides: the normative one, what it actually is, and the enforcement one, how it is applied to society. If the enforcement part is highly subjective we are distorting the law. It should be desirable to minimize the differences of enforcing the same law.

Is it something really appreciated by the population over there that the same law is applied very differently in the next town over simply because it decides to enforce it in a different manner?
i predict that tanenbaum will ultimately win the famous monolithic vs. microkernel design debate.

monolithic kernels are good for building features quickly and runtime performance, but the security design reminds me of 90s era computer security approaches, where firewalls were supposed to stop all threats and behind them security was lax on internal networks. microkernels are much more similar to today's more effective defense in depth approaches.

what does it matter if your kernel is fast and featureful if you cannot trust it?
Also you can think out of the box and realize that you may not need a monospaced font for development, but a font that has the advantages of monospaced fonts. I've been using Input Sans for years now. See at: https://input.djr.com/info/
Yes, the mind is an emergent property of the networks of the brain.
I think that is exactly why people are pissed off about this.
There seems to be a progression there from ‘I think it’ll be able to drive the easiest roads in a year or two’ to ‘It’ll be 2–4× safer than humans soon’. So in my opinion calling all of it ‘promising real FSD’ is at least half as misleading as the marketing.
Yeah this, really. For the most part even monolithic kernels have kind of reversed trend in the last decade or so and there's a lot of push to move critical code out of the kernel. A lot of new kernel apis are built to avoid context switching, and part of that usually involves moving to a more asynchronous kind of communication between process and kernel.

Often these APIs even look an awful lot like late generation microkernel shared memory buffer protocols. DRI and uring in linux for example.

A lot of the "microkernels are inherently slow" meme is built on how earlier port-based message passing kernels like mach worked.

I was just looking at this in the context of the Rogel Aguilera-Mederos (110 year sentence) truck-crash case the other week. IANAL, but as I understand it there's a legal concept called "respondeat superior" and the "McHaffie Rule" that may complicate that assertion. A lawyer could and probably would stomp me on this description, naturally.

> How they prioritize pulling people over actually responding to incidents is beyond me.

To be honest, we all know it's because traffic fines are risk-free income, while chasing actual criminals is an expense. The invisible hand of the Free Market(tm) optimizes for income instead of effectiveness, because police departments don't have competition.
I wish this were the case. Unfortunately for us grownups that run stable/LTS distros, non-security updates like these don't usually make it to us for like 5 years or something.

There's a happy medium, and we're not in it.
It's not actual de-policing, as in "firing cops". It's a sea change in what cops are willing to do while on duty. They have watched the televised trials of cops who have--for whatever reason, just or unjust--been prosecuted for crimes committed while performing the jobs.

In 2022, every cop looks at a call through the lens of "will I go to prison if I respond to this?". So now, we have criminals committing all sorts of crimes on the street (violent and not) and a police force that is unwilling to pursue these criminals for fear of the bad guy pulling a knife, or a gun, or having a heart attack while being arrested. The cop gets a felony charge, gets doxxed by the media and Twitter, and gets a spectacle trial, sometimes with the President of the United States weighing in, and usually ends up completely f'ed, even if found not guilty.
It's much easier for them to just drive on by and let the crime happen and tell dispatch that they couldn't find the guy.

This depends on the definition of the word microkernel, in the classical definition yes it will be much slower due to IPC, for something like an exokernel though it will be much faster than even a monolithic kernel.

Hi @atonse - I'm a Senior Manager at GitLab Support. I appreciate you taking the time to put together your feedback. I'm happy to discuss the particularities of your support experience if you send me an email at lkozloff[at]gitlab.com

There's a couple of general points though that I'd love to comment on.

> Why can't I just SSO using my GitLab credentials into Zendesk?

I'd love to have this as well - it makes complete sense (especially for our SaaS customers - it wouldn't help as much for self-managed). In order to get it implemented we need GitLab.com to become a SAML or JSON Web Token source. We have an open feature request for that here: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/238419

Even with that implemented we'd still have some challenges identifying who should be getting support without occasionally asking for proof of a support contract. As you said, you're part of multiple GitLab groups. It's well possible that some of those are on our Free tier and others on Paid tiers. In some contexts you'd be eligible for Support, and in others you might not be.

Usually this speed bump only hits the first time you contact support. Once you've opened a ticket we'll have you linked up correctly.

Recently I've been working on improving contact management and making sure customers are aware of what they can do to make their first support ticket the best experience it can be. You can track that effort in https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-com/support/-/epics/156

> Why use terms like "Support Entitlement" – just say, which org/group are you with?

We have to consider both our self-managed customers and SaaS customers with our language. For GitLab.com customers naming a path completely works (and is one of the ways you can prove your entitlement: https://about.gitlab.com/support/managing-support-contacts.h...). For Self-managed we have to map account names exactly and need a bit more as some organizations have visibility of tickets between users, in which there may be sensitive data.

I think you're right that it could sound more human. I've opened up https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/support/support-team-meta/-/is... to discuss improvements.

If you have any thoughts, feel free to participate!
"Don't ask if you can ask, just ask" is a fairly common mantra in my experience, but I can definitely see the Poe elements in this.
Hmm. Yeah, I really don't think I like != ligature. I don't want to mistake it for some non-ascii unicode symbol, and I generally like what I type to stay the way I typed it (including curly quotes!).

Yeah, no thank you.

Also, I notice that Jetbrains Mono doesn't ligature ~= as !=, but that is what it means in Matlab. So it really seems like assumptions about language semantics is baked in to the font.

Jetbrains Mono does offer the no-ligature version.
yes, tying sideloading to an apple ID would be a real blow to privacy and freedom, but sideloading at all would be a meaningful improvement.

Yup, so true. People think redundant == 100% uptime, or that when they advertise 99.9% uptime, it's the same thing as 100% minus a tiny bit for "glitches".

It's not. .1% of 36524 = 87.6 hours of downtime - that's over 3 days of complete downtime every year!

For a more complete list of their SLA's for every service:
https://aws.amazon.com/legal/service-level-agreements/?aws-s...

They only refund 100% when they fall below 95% of availability! 95-99= 30%. I believe the real target is above 99.9% though, as that results in 0 refund to the customer. What that means is, 3 days of downtime is acceptable!

Alternatively, you can return to your own datacenter and find out first hand that it's not particularly as easy to deliver that as you may think. You too will have power outages, network provider disruptions, and the occasional "oh shit, did someone just kick that power cord out?" or complete disk array meltdowns.

Anywho, they have a lot more room in their published SLA's than you think.

Edit: as someone correctly pointed out i did a typo in my math. it is only ~9 hours of aloted downtime. Keeping in mind that this is per service though - meaning each service can have a different 9 hours of downtime before they need to pay out 10% of that one service. I still stand by my statement thier SLA's have a lot of wiggle room that people should take more seriously.
From the suit...

"Plaid has never adhered to the standard and secure OAuth procedure for the critical
process of having consumers log into their bank accounts. Instead, for the first several years of
Plaid’s operations, Plaid arranged for its fintech clients to collect consumers’ bank login
information and then pass that information to Plaid, which then approached the banks directly.
In or around 2016, Plaid (belatedly, given the security risks) jettisoned this process for one even
more beneficial to Plaid. In or around 2016 Plaid implemented a method to mimic the OAuth procedure, but Plaid’s method differs materially from a true OAuth process. Under this current system, Plaid
“directly collect[s]” credentials from the consumer. According to Hockey, the goal was not to
eliminate the security risk Plaid itself had created, but to “centralize[] that risk” at Plaid."

and...

"With access to information going back up to five years, Plaid has taken detailed banking
information for thousands of transactions for each consumer—3,700 transactions on average—
that shows users’ healthcare, educational, social, transportation, childcare, political, saving,
budgeting, dining, entertainment, and other habits, with an average of 1,750 unique geolocations
to which the transactions were mapped."
Maybe they could just send an NFT of the meat to save on transport costs.

> The Federal Reserve Act does not authorize direct Federal Reserve accounts for individuals, and such accounts would represent a significant expansion of the Federal Reserve’s role in the financial system and the economy. Under an intermediated model, the private sector would offer accounts or digital wallets to facilitate the management of CBDC holdings and payments. Potential intermediaries could include commercial banks and regulated nonbank financial service providers, and would operate in an open market for CBDC services.

They're aware they have the opportunity to use a CBDC to eliminate retail banks but they're choosing not to do it.
