To clarify: Google isn't deleting these files. They're just "restricted", which as far as I can tell means they can't be shared publicly. It's triggering the mechanism to prevent people from using Google Drive as a file sharing service for copyrighted works. I think owners can still access their own files just fine.

That said, I agree 100% that you shouldn't rely on a single point of failure for any backup. Data must be in at least two places.
I think you have the mindset right, so thanks for elucidating that. I would still push back.

Ultimately library + language is serving a single goal here, but "means to an end" != mere implementation detail!

As a user of a language, it's incumbent upon you to learn the difference between library vs langauge in what you write. Full stop. I do wish Nixpkgs would be less rediculous. I wish there was a GUI too! But people who are going to write some code still need to learn the difference between language and library way.

Ultimately I don't think a more mainstream language would even help with the override soup problem, and we will need a logic programming type thing, but that's a separate point.
Seeing as the default font used by google's file reader is Roboto and that typeface has only been around since 2014, so my expression of 0 using Roboto is copyrighted 2014.

Right now Moscow continues to demand that Kiev implements the Minsk agreement, specifically constitutional reform, separatist region autonomy. Kiev demands full control of the regions’ border with Russia before going ahead with the agreement.

This impasse has been ongoing ever since the deal was inked.

Every now and then Moscow escalates trying to push Kiev to implement the agreement. It now seems to be more serious (or desperate) than ever.
I don't have any specific articles for you to read about heart attacks. It's more or less long-term established knowledge that heart attacks happen stochastically to ostensibly healthy people at a high enough rate that a "random" heart attack in an "otherwise healthy individual" is better explained by an unknown genetic or other health risk factor, or simply a rare failure of the underlying physics of the heart, than being caused by a recently noticed health condition.

From the perspective of nearly every reliable systems designer everywhere, the human heart is a miracle: an absolutely critical component that must operate effectively perfectly in a challenging environment with variable loads over a long period of time. You would expect (and see) that hearts in a large population fail at some rate, across a risk distribution (age, diet, etc). Not all risks are known; it's possible in 10 years, some scientist will announce that people with genotypes similar to yours are 3% more likely than the average population to die of unpredictable heart attacks.

If you feel truly wronged by the VAERS process (in that it didn't take your possible adverse event seriously even though you followed all the guidelines) I think there are ways to take this up. For example, stanford cardiologist writes polite article pointing out that we need to be careful and take this sort of data into account. however, like I said before, i think the noise around vaers is so large now that you're better to simply comply with the guidelines, note that it got ignored/misclassified, and then move on, ideally also with the cardiologist going over to the vaccine policy theorists a building over and politely suggesting that they comb through the millions of forms they get, in case they potentially missed a very rare side effect.
Here's my understanding of "shadow work", which I believe was invented by Jung. Unpleasant thoughts and emotions are made conscious. In this way, the energy behind them is released and they no longer influence you subconsciously. This ties in nicely with the Buddhist Vipassana mindfulness meditation technique, although they are separate processes.

In practical terms, I notice that something is bothering me, or that there is some unhelpful pattern in the way I live my life, and I sit down and pay attention to how I feel. I do this on the level of individual physical sensations. When thoughts arise, I let them go. When painful feelings arise, I notice the automatic urge to flinch away from them, and I simply allow them to be there, and I experience them fully.

In this way, their function (as "messengers") is fulfilled, and they disappear. As a result, I feel relief and "lightness", a feeling of being relieved of burdens.
Road rage is never acceptable, regardless of what the other vehicle is doing. Making Lane hogging illegal and calling that anti-road rage seems to accept that road rage is a legitimate response to an action by someone else, which it never is.
I recently read a book about South America and learned there’s genetic evidence Polynesians made there in about AD 1200, which is amazing.

There’s also I think some mystery about some South American DNA that doesn’t support the land bridge hypothesis. I don’t know if that’s well supported or not/evidence might be poor, haven’t bothered to do any digging. I think that’s distinct from what was found linking some populations to Polynesians and suggests there might have been seafaring people that made it even earlier, but I’m not sure.

Yes this is a good idea. dplyr has something similar with `mutate` & `transmute`.

This could _mostly_ be enforced by PRQL. There's a case where we transpile to:

select *, x+1 as x_plus_one

...where we don't know whether or not we're overwriting an existing column. But it's a minority of cases, and the contract could stand within PRQL.

not sure i follow. can you give an example how exclusion works? all i see is that without using symlinks i can have only one folder/tag per item. i can choose to do that with tags too if i want, but i don't see how using folders helps with that other than forcing me to do it.
Can you describe a case in which rejecting a duplicate keypress that arrives within a specified number of milliseconds is ineffective, unreliable, or even suboptimal?

A lowpass filter is an empirical hack, not a gold standard. It has multiple disadvantages; rather than being "responsive," it adds latency to the initial input for no good reason, and it affects both rising and falling edges equally, again for no good reason. It also requires the addition of unnecessary physical components.

Not going to criticize you, I think it's a cool math problem, but I've experienced people throwing problems like this at me at job interviews in the past so it echoed. And in those cases, they weren't looking for an answer, they were looking for the answer they knew about and no other answer would do. I once ended an interview early over one of these questions.

I am relentlessly production focused but that doesn't mean I don't like math. But by the time you get to FP64 with this thing, the probability of finding a fail case seems insanely low and in fact for the most part you can provably bound the error of the sum and therefore likely prove you have found the solution. Anything beyond that is a corner case as the mathematicians love to say. And now I see the criticisms coming.
If the USA cared at all about "democracy" in Ukraine, it would at least try to clean up that toxic dump that is run by Kolomoyskii, Poroshenko, Akhmetov and the same greedy oligarchs and thieves for many decades now, no matter who the front clown is. But it seems like the local democracy is not really a concern as long as Ukraine can be used for other purposes.
Alright, you are correct that I shouldn't have used the word "explicitly" in the GP comment. That said...

They have clearly shown and given themselves the freedom to remove data for any reason, including no reason, and we have seen it happen[0][1][2][3][4][5]. The point is all cloud providers have left the door open to opaque, subjective policy to do this.

You want explicit black-and-white statements. That isn't going to happen by design. Would you feel more comfortable if a person with the ability to shoot you didn't say, "I reserve the right to shoot you", but rather, "I may, if I find it reasonable under these categories -- where I am the judge, and jury, by the way, and no, you don't get to appeal -- then I will reserve the right to shoot you"?

For the record, I think Google can do whatever the heck they want with the data users choose to upload. I think that Google, if they wanted to, could require users to send a photo of themselves dressed as Snidely Whiplash as a condition of using their service. (And yes, I do think Google is a terrible evil company.)

But... It makes sense that they would reserve this right for themselves, because they of course don't want the legal quagmire they might invite otherwise.

But how clear they are about it doesn't change their actions, and really it ISN'T. THE. POINT.

The point is that data you upload has no guarantee of being there at any given point in the future. And yes, this is true of all providers, even to some degree enterprise ones.

Which is why it is a very, very good idea to set up backup systems that aren't dependent on the decisions of a third-party regarding your data.

We should recognize the salient reality of cloud providers, and operate with the playing field from there. Encrypt your data, make it redundant.

This is my Rails app that I've been working on for a few years. While managing software and engineers, I spent a lot of time using and thinking about issue tracking software. I've used all the popular options and was never satisfied. Either they were too complicated or didn't do enough.

Here is want I want in a issue tracker:

* Easy to use (For people submitting bug reports, working on software, reviewing code)
* Open Source
* Separation between "Issues" and "Tasks".
* GitHub Integration
* Descriptions and comments with robust Markdown support

TaskRoller, I hope, satisfies my criteria.

My goal in posting my app here is to get some feedback and people interested in trying TaskRoller. There is a live version of the app with open sign ups: https://production.task-roller.net/ . Please check it out if you need an example.
I'm not disputing that there were Republicans of the era working to end segregation; I'm disputing that the electoral college worked to the advantage of civil rights. It did not. Had a Republican won a solid south seat of the era, they'd have voted against civil rights as well (and that's exactly what happened after the failure of the Dixiecrat movement). This is a political science dispute, not a partisan one.

ahem

i don't know if the crypto and meme-stock worlds realize this, but... out here in the real world we have tools to correct for that; you can compute things like a "real rate of return" on your holdings and see it come up positive, because... well, I know this will seem fantastical to crypto-land especially, but imagine having an asset that actually does something useful while you own it, making income, instead of just existing for speculation!!! it's much better than loaning it out through dodgy exchanges for the purposes of speculation.

we actually have nice things like this in the real world, and when we go through routine turbulence (like the last month) our losses are more like 10% of holdings, instead of, like, 50%.
This is a solid answer. Just to elaborate about borrowing -

AFAIK noone borrows at 40%, as the parent said, at least with common tokens. There might be exceptions for borrowing niche tokens with massive issuance or what not.

People do borrow things like USDC at ~5%, sometimes higher. It varies a lot; see Compound or Aave for current market rates. These are basically margin loans, collateralized by tokens.

As for why users take these DeFi loans, sometimes it's just to access leverage, but I think it's mostly to chase those (say) 40% APRs. In theory they can make much more than the loan rate, though this assumes that the token they're farming retains its value, doesn't get hacked, the pool's rewards don't stop or get diluted too much, etc.

Why wouldn't those users instead take "TradFi" loans, which can be as low as ~1%? To access those low rates, I would need substantial collateral in stocks, real estate, etc. I might not have those assets (or I'm already borrowing what I can against them), whereas I might have e.g. BTC sitting around. I could sell the BTC, but that would be a taxable event, plus I might want to remain long BTC.
It is a bit like the original Myst, which was made of a bunch of "places" that you could walk between along pre-defined paths.

But that's also how we conceptualize space. One place is my bedroom, it connects to a space that's a corridor, which connects to a few spaces like the kitchen, the bathroom, the living room. In one of these spaces is a bookshelf, which contains a shelf for sci-fi, a few shelves worth of computer science and physics, then a few shelves of philosophy.

I don't know the Cartesian coordinates of the particular books, but I know if I want to get a book, I walk the path connecting the bedroom, to the corridor, to the living room, and then look in the bookshelf. Then if I want to say read Dune, I know it's in the bottom-most shelf where I keep the sci-fi.

That procedure conceptually translates to

$ cd ..
$ cd livingroom
$ cd bookshelf
$ cd bottom-shelf
$ cat Dune
Fair enough.

I'm in the unfortunate situation that Acetylsalicylsalicylic acid (wow, that's a mouthful!) is the only thing that really work for my headaches... so I might be counter-biased wrt. your experience.

It's just that I perhaps seek it out by default and it's not difficult to obtain from that perspective. (Though you always have to listen to the lecture...)
1x RAM plus a bit on any machine I want to hibernate eg a laptop.

Anything else, 2GB or less or not bother with a swap disc and just use a swap file with a cap at say 2x RAM. Also depends on how much RAM and disc is available.
I wrote an INI parser that has numerical, boolean, timestamp, MAC address, and IP address types ;) "advantages" of not having a spec!

Seriously: for application-specific config files, the lack of a formal spec can be kind of a nice thing. You can design your parser to the exact needs of your program, with data types that makes sense for your use case. Throw together a formal grammar for use in regression testing, and you're all set.

Obviously a formal spec is essential for data interchange, but that's why JSON exists. To me, YAML is in a gray area that doesn't need to exist. The same thing goes for TOML, but to a far lesser extent.

I think educating the public is fine. Teaching is fine. But that is a different context. Maybe you can encourage someone to learn more and eventually that ends up with them contributing something useful. That is not what is happening here.

There also comes a point when you have explained something well enough, and then people are just deliberately “asking questions” not because they are being honest, but because there is an agenda. I see that attitude on HN all the time. It’s disguising honest enquiry.

And then there are people that will just ignore what you have done and still want to put their 2bits in.

Why not use R's data.table? You can achieve literally the same pipeline style flow, internally it's written in C, it's not the fastest but gets the job done.

If you want real speed but no external package, kdb/q is probably better (has q-sql).

>At the end all of your jails end up on the same loopback interface, making it hard to firewall. I couldn't find a way to have one network interface per jail.

FreeBSD jails has quite a bit of history (developed in 1998) and made public in the year 2000.
FreeBSD has had VNET for use with jails allowing you to add epair interfaces connected to a bridge, or add a physical interface or VLAN to a jail. This feature has been in FreeBSD since 8.0 (2009) and enabled by default since 2018. It also allows you to run PF in each jail.

Sadly many people a bitten by outdated forum and blog posts when it comes to jails.

I agree that firewalling jails with loopbacks is a pain, but most people don't do it that way anymore.

Also PF has always had atomic reloads.

> would counter that our reverence for the founders and their documents has papered over a lot of fucked up shit baked into our governance (the fact that a Wyoming vote is 50x more valuable than a California vote is hard to get past).

I'm glad you brought this up, because it, to me, exposes the core of the problem.

The fact that Wyoming's vote is 50x more valuable than California's isn’t unique to the US, and is the case in many Federations that grant co-sovereignty. In Switzerland, the upper house is set up in exactly the same way; the number of people represented by a single seat in their upper house varies by a factor of 45.8, due to the equal representation as opposed to proportional representation. The same is true of the European Union, whose upper house also grants equal representation to Malta and Germany, with a veto power. Ditto Australia. That's exactly what you want if you're trying to balance the needs of a decentralized and heterogenous federation, and that's how the US was set up. This doesn't allow the minority to rule against the majority, but it does allow the minority to protect itself from the majority with a veto power on Federal legislation (but absolutely not for State legislation).

Appealing to anti-slavery is a poor argument against this aspect of Switzerland's system, as is the case for America. Bringing up the Founders' alleged hypocrisy vis-a-vis slavery strikes me as a game of misdirection to poorly argue against the merits of building anti-majoritarian checks that allow minorities to protect themselves from majorities from passing new laws onto them. If you really think that the US should be structured as a weaker Federation (or perhaps even a unitary republic), as opposed to the more strong Federal republic of the status quo, you can argue that on the merits (and to be sure, it's certainly debatable!) without conflating it with slavery, or ad hominem attacks against the Founders. It would be tantamount to attacking the merits of having a strong central bank by appealing to Alexander Hamilton's philandering adultery.

I’d also add that appealing to slavery hypocrisy is a particularly poor line of attack on a strong Federal system with a Senate-like institution, because the U.S. Senate was proposed by the Free States (New Jersey Plan, Connecticut Compromise), not the more populous slave States, which wanted a purely proportionally apportioned legislature (Virginia Plan).

> I don't think reasonable people can disagree about Jefferson being a hypocrite.

Reasonable people can absolutely disagree about whether Jefferson's hypocrisy was justifiable, given the morals of the time. And further, reasonable people can support the "fucked up shit baked into our governance" as features and not bugs, and appeal to Jefferson (and Madison) in doing so.
> A better system for filing tickets internally and for filing and triaging tickets from external users would be a tremendous asset for Google.

The problem is not that they don't have a tool; they could easily build one almost overnight. They have a glut of very competent technical labor, lots of capital, infrastructure up the ass.

They don't care.

The tech people are convinced they're geniuses who build stuff that never breaks.

> To be fair Poland was first to start dividing Europe when it got piece of Czechoslovakia in 1938.

Um, how is that fair? I mean, any “first” on ”dividing Europe” drawn during recorded history is going to be somewhat arbitrary, but pointing to the piece of Czechoslovakia that Poland annexed right after Germany annexed the Sudetenland and then forced the transfer of other Czechoslovakian territory to Hungary as making Poland the first to start dividing Europe is beyond ludicrous.
