That was actually likely to happen at one point - either in the Soviet Union through OGAS [1] which was rejected due to bureaucratic politics, or Chile's Project Cybersyn which was cancelled due to, uh, American interests. It would have been extremely interesting to see what a planned economy utilising cybernetics and rudimentary ML would've been capable of, especially as the technology improved.

Sure. Terrorists weren't as good of a threat as USSR.

But you do with what you have. Business adapts. USA dumped a lot of equipment in various countries over last two decades under the guises of figting terrorists, to make room for purchase of new equipment.

Be glad. Alternative is dumping MRAPs on local police forces in small USA towns.

If you are interested in similar perspectives "Power of nightmares" by Adam Curtis is an interesting watch.
This is essentially wiring people’s jaws shut. Not sure how effective this may be outside of research.
I wouldn’t call it a race to the bottom. It’s more about a large workforce that’s educated and has some skills and a culture for making things, and also doesn’t need $300k to buy a house.
As another commenter posted, it's not the typing that gets you, it's other stuff.

Like for example: you switch office space for a day, at the same time you got anew phone and you keep resting it on your pinky. You have a bad setup that day and think that it's no problem. Those in combination could easily cause a doctors visit because you can't use that pinky.

Do what you can to keep your hands in good shape and avoid weird static positions. Avoid weird movements. Try to use your back when lifting/pushing things, even small things like you coffee cup, lift close to the body not far away. Getting RSI is such a sucky thing have to deal with.

You are not doing anything wrong, you've just dodged bullets properly. So keep that going for you and make sure you keep on doing it!
It’s dumb in the sense that you can just move clouds without issue. You’re not using the secret special sauce that binds you tightly to AWS, everyone has a K8s and they’re all broadly the same.

“But a general recommendation [in the report] that emerged is that historical figures should be judged according to the times in which they lived, and that modern observers should focus on a person’s principal legacies, because no one is perfect.”

I like that.

Mexico did suffer invasion and occupation by the French in the 1860s. The US was busy with the Civil War and in no position to try to enforce the Monroe Doctrine (Monroe's statement saying the US would oppose any European attempt to re-establish colonies in the Western Hemisphere).

My kids love nighttime hot water bottles but we don’t actually own any rubber ones we just take a empty 2 litre pop bottle and fill them. The kids all want them every night even though it’s not cold. Something about that warm bottle is very comforting.

Funny, the political climate of Ohio is probably a reason they chose it. Being business-friendly is a stated goal of the Ohio GOP.
Same, I've found you.com much more useful than DDG, especially for code related searches. Been using it for a month and haven't gone back.
They already do offer cheap launches. That's kind of their business model. There's more science missions being launched by their rideshare missions than ever before. There's a media campaign to somehow discredit SpaceX despite all the good they're doing.

Along the lines of second hand smoke, are there any levels of safe exposure to air pollution (considering recent studies saying that chronic exposure is equivalent to losing one year of education)? In that case, internal combustion engine exhaust might be a larger source of health risk than outdoor second hand smoke, depending on where you live.
DDG is pretty good, it just requires a bit more context on average. As using a search engine is a lot about knowing the right choice of keywords it takes some time to adjust to the differences. Waiting for another random search engine that works exactly like Google is gonna take a while.

I still find what I need, that's all I care about. And I can't remember seeing a pinterest link on the first page.

Don't forget the narrative by the media is that it's all the unvaccinated people's fault that the virus keeps spreading. This is now clearly patently false in the era of Omicron.
The Event Horizon Telescope "imaged" two black hole structures down to 10 microarcsecond resolution. The create synthetic apertures from radio telescope pairs separated as much as 8,000 miles and operating up to 450 GigaHertz. (Synthetic telescopes have been created since the 1970s, but used much lower radio frequencies with a much lower computation burden.) Each telescope pair samples a small bit of spatial frequencies. So sophisticated inversions were run to compute the image that best fit these samples.

Where I live in Canada, it is pretty much the same story.

The salaries of local companies here in Canada outside of Vancouver and Toronto are such that if I told people here what the best dev I worked with earned in USD a year ago (he finally joined the remote train), people would wonder if I was the worst developer they ever met if I thought someone earning that was a star.

The number is 95,000 USD. Two years ago here, that would have hired you an ex-FAANG senior developer in Calgary. I actually know of another ex-FAANG dev earning about 75000 USD as he doesn't want to go remote and family issues keep him in Calgary.
Of course. Hardware debouncing came long before software. It's basic electronics. Many switches have it built in.
Was going to mention Cue. Works great in cases where you want to add a touch of structure to your existing yaml configuration, such as types and bounds checking.
As was pointed out to me previously, UBSAN actually provides checking for unsigned overflow even though it's defined. So if signed overflow was defined, that would not stop UBSAN from flagging it.

Because in reality as you observe so many overflows are unintended. Most of the time programmers, especially dealing with 16-bit or wider integer types, treat them as though they were mathematical integers, and so overflow is extraordinary and worth flagging.

Unfortunately UBSAN doesn't prevent you getting this wrong, perhaps somewhere important. If your test inputs never trip the corner case where overflow occurs you can switch off UBSAN in release builds, ship it, and overflow on a real system where it has real consequences.
You don't need Kubernetes to do self-hosting. Completely overkill.
Doesn’t the ansible portion do all that? Believe he uses Rocky Linux.
Well I do hope so. So far I'm unaware of any pending proposals in the standards tracks :-/
C does require 2's complement math.

However architectures of the future aren't going to have flat pointers (PAC/CHERI etc), and even current architectures have some non-IEEE floats (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bfloat16_floating-point_format / https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unum_(number_format)).
I think it's probably tied to the rise in gated content. Especially news. Unless they want to delist every for-profit news site, they can't carte blanche remove walled content. The algo is fundamentally based on popularity. If enough users are logging in to those sites and clicking on them, they'll keep being ranked.
How is this ad hominem? This is like an article about cardiac health that says that we need to immediately stop administering Aspirin to the entire population written by an OBGYN with a plumber that sells Tylenol as a co-author.
His net worth is in SpaceX and Tesla, namely the companies doing the actual work. It's circular reasoning.
I usually prefer the service in Europe (if it’s possible to generalize the continent like that). Americans waiters constantly intrude. I’d rather they stay away as much as possible.

Since the email in question is <something>@<yourdomain>.com, can't you just add a forward for that email address to some other non-Google email at whatever hosting provider you use for <yourdomain>.com? Then the email address itself would still work, it just wouldn't go to the broken Google account.
I'm not. It makes it easier to watch without paying
I know some Serbians looking for work... oh... wait... /s
The point of the QWERTY layout was to prevent jamming; the prototype layout was roughly alphabetical on the keyboard and jammed constantly, so it was refined to fix that mechanical problem.

The part that is a myth was that they prevented jamming by “slowing typists down”. What they did is moved commonly adjacently pressed letters apart from each-other so they wouldn’t be pressed at about the same time. This was not done explicitly to speed or slow typists (at the time, there was no established typing technique and there were no expert typists), except insofar as a constantly jammed keyboard was extremely slow.

But the nearness that mattered was in the ring of typebars on the Sholes/Glidden/Schwalbach/Densmore typewriter, not the nearness of the keys on the keyboard per se. This typewriter connected the keys to typebars which were placed around a ring and struck upward at the platen. The association between keys on the keyboard and the positions around the ring is not obvious.

https://blog.nms.ac.uk/app/uploads/2018/08/Figure-13.jpg

https://blog.nms.ac.uk/2018/08/11/re-typing-history-the-shol...

They started by trying to place common English digraphs onto typebars at opposite ends of the ring, then swapped keys around via trial/error until they got the jamming problem mostly under control. Later the Remington company did a few more swaps so that "TYPEWRITER" could be typed entirely on the top row, as a marketing gimmick.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sholes_and_Glidden_typewriter#...

The true part of the common QWERTY criticism is that the layout of the keys was not decided primarily based on the positions on the keyboard or human hand anatomy. As a result, the keyboard layout per se (both the positioning of the physical keys themselves and the choice of association between letters and keys) is not especially efficient or ergonomic.

A related (milder) criticism can be leveled at the Dvorak layout, which was designed for the typewriter technology of ~1930, where the home row and top row of the keyboard were easy to press but the bottom row was much slower and less convenient, based on the consistent steep step between rows of keys. Computer keyboards have always had a different physical shape compared to 1930s typewriters, so the relative difficulty of typing different key combinations is different, and an optimized layout therefore looks different.
I agree, Windows 7 wasn't as good as Win95/98. Win95 I think is just second to none in UI design. Perhaps, Cinema4D UI is a contender but that's an application. If you haven't checked, totally checkout C4D :-).
Yeah, I get where you're coming from, but a few dozen SMD caps and resistors ordered in that kind of bulk probably raises the cost by a penny. Of course you do technically have more points of failure I guess.
I like this. Evolving a pragmatic view of one's relationship to work, and applying that to the next job, does help avoid early burn-out.

There should be 0 problem with not being able to share publicly if it was not meant for public audiences. They really can only have one or the other. Experts can email each other.
I understand the argument and I accept the idea of natural experiments in principle. The most difficult thing with all of these is the ceteris paribus (holding all else constant), or as a second best, correcting for known confounding factors. This is in such stark contrast to a lab setting, where an adversarial scientist can regard a hypothesis as wrong and construct an experiment to prove it so, only to find out that the hypothesis isn't falsified. With statistics and models on the other hand it always devolves into discussions about variables, confounding factors and there's never a satisfying resolution, especially on controversial results.

The number of places for bias to creep in are way to many. I think the econometrics people have gone down a hopeless path, guided by wishful thinking and demand from people who want us to be able to make statements about things which we just cannot do.

The parts of economics that are valuable are not based on econometrics, but upon reasoning from first principles: Incentives, supply and demand, game theory etc. under which I would argue all of your examples fall.

Its not clear whether this was during deployment, or operating configuration.
I would rather choose something like xgp-ng as a hypervisor for a home lab environment such a this, instead of a custom one-off kubernetes environment.

Or just a total DIY xen or KVM hypervisor on debian or centos approach. But with considerably more RAM in the host machine than 16GB (like 64-128GB).

the kubernetes sort of makes sense if the purpose is also for the person who owns/operates it to test kubernetes things, learn kubernetes, or use it as a home lab of some larger similar environment that they have elsewhere.
> Today, the average American buys 68 new items of clothing per year.

I uh… I too would like to know. What scares me is that the use of whatever demographic is causing that average has to be way higher than the actual average, but this feels like it has to be bimodal.

And there are lots of these numbers in the news. The "average American" produces an obscene amount of food waste too, far beyond what I feel I actually produce, as best as I can estimate it.
Why? Maybe the service was worth it until the price increase. We don’t have to be talking about someone’s last ten dollars here. If suddenly pizza by you increased by 10 bucks would you just keep buying it because it’s only 10 bucks or consider other options?

This has to be a question someone here might be able to answer.

Is there some mass-distance(-velocity?) function
that defines the alternative fates?
Where below some threshold, things are fated to merge and beyond which ...not so much.

I am pretty confident all the mass on the earth would be expected to end up together, and would be comfortable imagining that theoretical planets on opposite sides of the observable universe may never merge but what is the transition point? the solar system? the milky way? the local group?

Is the point to be accurate or to isolate and purge a certain segments of the population? Maybe groups that tend to be more independent minded.

You are unlikely to find what you're looking for. I'm going to dig into this article a bit, but what you're talking about is inherently hard, and delivers tremendous value to businesses. There are a lot of people doing it for money, and someone builds something that starts to actually work, they get acquired, or they take their project and make it enterprise-y (because that's where the funding is).

There's flatcar and k3os and fedora coreos and talos and lokomotive. There are maybe a dozen others as well, but those are the ones I know something about.

The real problem is that the orchestration of PXE boot, DHCP, name services, server registration, cluster bootstrapping, while simultaneously building a light distribution that makes the right calls on persistence, security, etc. is just *really hard*.

I took at a stab at it myself (failed startup) and have a custom distribution based on alpine, but the amount of work to go from there to everything is so large that it's tough to take on if you're small (and there is the constant desire to go enterprise because of the money)
The recycling industrial complex is a total mess in general. American recycling also gets dumped on South East Asia (mainly China if memory serves) where much of it is just waste.

There's a reason recycling is the third R, and it should primarily take the form of other people reusing your stuff anyway - not throwing items in a specifically coloured bin and calling it a day.
I think this is most people's attitude. But the problem is that you wake up one day and find a new religion and power structure has been imposed on you. I don't think it's valuable fighting every little thing either, but I also don't want to live in a world where we cover in fear of professional agitators. If we want to ignore this stuff, it needs to be in the sense of "yeah I'm not doing that" as opposed to participating in their theatre to avoid conflict

I didn't see it but did think about it. I think it should be possible by wrapping WebUSB into something like Comlink, e.g. I know Surma experimented with allowing Comlink to be used with WebSockets: https://twitter.com/dassurma/status/1218207376899235840

Comlink takes care of the RPC part of any API, so you only need to choose and hook up a communication backend.
Indeed how? If they really mean SF, then write that. Bay Area is much greater and much more than SF. San Jose alone is larger in area and people than SF and Bay Area is much much more than San Jose.

I'm trying to spread awareness to people not from here that the two things aren't the same at all. It's bad enough that media convulsively regurgitate the same tired fallacy repeatedly.

Largely gas and coal powered, which isn't ideal. It is cheap though.
All overkill. If you want something more reliable, get some late model HP or Dell thin clients and put Debian on them. Usually you can pick them up for <$75.

I setup something like this to control some farm equipment when I was in college 20 years ago. The farmers’ son called me a few months ago because they were having an issue with the equipment. Turned out oily dust coated the thing and got inside - I had him pop the device open (old Wyse box running Slackware iirc) clean up the goop and hit it with rubbing alcohol. He dried it and everything is working again.
You don't need it.

I think there's a market for sites that have optimized search around a specific category of information. For example, imagine you had a hybrid directory+search model, where you could drill down into the directory:
Top -> Programming -> Lisp -> Scheme

And from there, search a repertoire of Scheme related articles, tips, blogs, etc.

This model already exists, somewhat, in the form of scholarly articles, medical journals, etc. But there seems to be some innovation needed.

If there were such a "site" that focused on and aggregated Scheme related documentation, you'd think that being listed on that search-directory would be totally acceptable to the website owner. After all, a web article or blog generally wants to be read, especially by an interested reader.

Somehow we need to get back to the web being like a library, with a librarian and a well organized categorical index for references.

Getting humans back into the search loop I think is where we're going to circle to. Like asking your local librarian for information about a topic that is in their special collection.

This is a good, understandable intro. It also avoids the “mystify monads by demystifying monads” trap, admirably. I was skeptical about using a particular library’s interface going in, but I think it really helped make the concepts more clear, and I think it’ll be particularly helpful for JS/TS devs who often learn from examples and interfaces rather than just explanations. It helped clear some fog for me around naming versus concepts, which has in the past prevented me from feeling like I fully grasp the subject.

And I think I kinda-sorta understand now why Promise isn’t a monad, but I still really think it’s hair-splitting.
I just discovered how poor the search results are if you're logged in with your Google account. Have to log out or view in incognito mode just to see what you were searching for. Also I didn't realize how censored Google's results were until I started comparing them side by side with DDG.
