It really depends on what you mean by "SELinux". The core kernel bits of SELinux, are of course, part of kernel by definition. However, SELinux is not really useful unless it comes with the SELinux policy definition which defines what applications do "normally". This work needs to be done by the Linux distribution, because without it, it's much like relationship between software and hardware. "Without the software, it's just a paperweight."
The ones I vaguely remember are AlienAA and Outwar. I can't believe these are still running. I haven't even thought about them in almost 20 years.
Well put - lingering and unprocessed emotions don't go away, they fester.

Shadow work often refers to dredging up feelings you have pushed down as "unacceptable" - anger being a common one. The idea being that shadow work helps you move towards total emotional development by embracing all of your emotional faculties.
> So, all of the Python-related notes go under the "Python" namespace. All of the database notes into "Databases," and so on. All the did was shift the problem space. Which namespace does the note on SQLAlchemy go in?

You don't need to have a perfect heirarchy, you just need to have a heirarchy that you'll remember.

If you constrain yourself into trying to produce a Liskov free heirarchy you'll tie yourself in knots.

I'd probably put SQLAlchemy under Python because it is python-specific. Databases should be kept for your notes on PostgreSQL administration (and you may have python scripts in there but they'll be to serve the purpose of administrating a concrete PostgreSQL install or something.

And you don't need to find all the database stuff and collect it together, you just need to know where you put something. So largely put it in the folder that makes the most immediate sense to you and don't overthink it. Later if you hate it, refactor it. But remember that you're dealing with your own personal hash table for retrieval and not trying to implement group_by. The latter issue is where you'd need an index over your notes that was searchable, but I don't find myself needing it.

"tl;dr" was around when I hung out on LiveJournal, so definitely pre-2010. This would have been around '01-'06.
I don't understand this obsession against vaccines. Even looking at it selfishly, Science has done the US so much good and over the course of this pandemic I am shocked how prevalent anti-science thinking is here. Actually it feels like people in the US more and more are becoming against experts of any kind. Worst part is they think they know better than these experts. As someone not born in the country, growing up every medical miracle I remember came out of the US, and now this deep anti science thinking is tough to stomach.

For all the furore this is invoking its just a proposal and there are a lot of them that are done just to garner headlines. If we were practical, the only thing this will do is provide itself as proof in a narrative against "crazy" CA and nothing else.
Systems like this are designed to reach nearly peak performance (IE # of flops per processing element * # of processing elements), explicitly by making a network that won't block or increase latency for the common expensive operations (allreduce, allvall) at the expensive of greatly increased cost.

The point of making this machine is to have a lot of A100s going at the same time, and that will unblock some small set of researchers who are working on time-sensitive competitive research projects by giving them a slightly throughput and latency advantage on the largest problems. The vast majority of users would be better served by a small number of cheaper, slower GPUs that they had exclusive access to for the longest time period they could afford to wait.
Can you explain why the actions of Ukraine is not a response to Russian's takeover of Crimea?
Man I hope upscaling loses fashion soon, or eventually.

The amount of real data we're going to overwrite accidentally or even just mentally forget about is insane. I prefer looking at the real life rather than the guesses of what a computer thought may have been within the cracks.

Something being naturally ugly is better than being sometimes beautifully fake and uglier and fake.

The FF7 video in that post is absolutely terrible and shows how much worse it can get when upscaling. It just completely fails on the creative art decision to dither lighting, and thinks it was a texture on the original object.

Whereas in Israel, a national ID number is treated as just that - an ID number. You put it on every single contract you sign, on most bureaucratic forms, &c, and it's used to match up individual identity rather than names. On many online services, your ID number is your username, and your password is chosen per-service.
> As a software developer, I think the best thing about the cloud is knowing that if you need the capacity, and it makes sense cost-wise, you'll get it.

Yes, that's the beauty of it and sometimes you need it.

OTOH, how often do you need to grow capacity without any lead time like that? If you are in a hyper-growth stage in a startup you absolutely need it and it is a lifesaver.

But, most companies never see a hyper-growth stage. Even those which do, it's a relatively short timeframe (you can't grow exponentially very long).

All the rest of the time it's a fairly large premium to pay just in case another hyper-growth period happens. Sometimes it's totally worth it. But good to review the likelyhood and cost tradeoffs every now and then.
Learnings from Turo’s IPO
Hurricane electric are one of those companies that have been around since the dawn on the internet, I usually run into them when I want to look at BGP information and stumble upon their BGP toolkit.

I went to their home page to try and find more information about colo pricing, but it's all hidden behind a contact form.

Their site design seems very 1998, makes me feel really nostalgic.
Yeah in the vipassana tradition check out 'Mahasi style noting'.

In Zen, look up 'do nothing' or 'just sitting' - I don't know the traditional language. Shinzen Young has really good content on youtube IMO.

Focusing on a single point is called 'anapana' in the vipassana tradition and is used as a way to calm the mind - like sharpening a knife - before moving on the the juicier stuff.

It's sort of paradoxical but by giving attention to every passing thought/sensation, eventually they slow down and everything becomes much calmer, quieter, and clear.
Thank you so much for your work, a very easy to use interface!

Yeah these hierarchies are something that really slow me down. Was it arch/aarch64/dts? Arrgh no, arch/aarch64/boot/dts? No, actually arch/arm64/boot/dts..

Similarly, I couldn't decide on a hierarchy for my apartment. What's above living room? If root is your entire house, does that mean you can skip into any room without going through another? I can't go to the bedroom at the other end of my apartment without going through corridor..ish thing and the living room. I can't place room above the other because none contain the other. So I guess root is the whole house then. What does cd .. in my bedroom do? Do I get out of the apartment, so that I can enter another room? That's just weird. But ok, I'll take it: I can magically teleport out of my room and "into the apartment" and just warp into another room. Convenient, could we also flatten the bookshelf and bottom shelf into my apartment so that I can warp straight to them without first thinking about "livingroom"? Hierarchy begone :)

And still there is no spatial relationship between items under livingroom. It's unorganized chaos. I have more than one bookshelf.. I can refer to the bookshelf on the left or bookshelf on the right but in a folder? It gets interesting when you try to draw the line between living room and kitchen since they're kinda one and the same but not really. They're spatially separated but it's hard to say where one ends and the other begins.

On a map, where I can see continents, countries, cities, all at one glance. What shallow hierarchy there is, you can also see right through it; it's merely a guideline, not an obligation. You can see through multiple layers of hierarchy and your vision is not restricted to one branch. I can slide from Finland to Sweden near Tornio without having to first back up in some artificial hierarchy. I could do that even if Finland and Sweden were considered to be on different continents for some weird reason.

Does this also apply to evil geniuses? Or do they always stay “in character”?

If so I may have to let the kiddo know that he needs to pick a different career to have when he grows up.
Whenever I try to do OKRs, and we got coaching from the business side, we're always told why it isn't a correct OKR. It's a process that never leaves me or other stakeholders with a positive sentiment. After a few quarters, everyone wrote it off as a "paperwork" thing since nobody could grok the "right" way to do it.

At the end of the day, you have to make tactical decisions to deliver on your larger goals. I don't need gymnastics room full of conceptual abstractions to perform my job effectively.
You also have to consider how long the vaccines were around and approved prior to being mandated.

Some of these vaccines are still not mandated by most states, and many states have exemptions if you demonstrate immunity.

Right but the point is that the notes, as described, can actually be represented by a DAG. They just can’t be represented by a tree.
> (But I've also heard the transmission rate from children to teachers has been pretty low, but how low?)

I would imagine it’s pretty damn low. I have two kids in daycare, and except for a few weeks early on in the pandemic, their daycare has been open the whole time. Before even, y’know, the vaccine. I dare say daycare workers who change diapers, play closely with toddlers, wipe away bodily fluids, etc. come in far closer contact with children than the average K-12 teacher. And in the whole time we’ve had two of the daycare teachers come down with Covid, based on contract tracing from family members. I think teachers are seriously milking this whole situation to stay home.
There's an animation of the antipode from this eruption arriving in northern Africa and it's interesting how distorted the incoming wavefront is.

Ah, thanks!

I kind of assumed there was some public administrative service run by the national government behind it all. That would have been the logical entity to run a central storage repository, and perhaps to administer and maybe even define the storage and transmission format(s). IMO.
12A is small. We used to colocate there back around 2010 and at the time could fit anywhere from 6-10 servers depending on load.

We used the extra space for spare parts.

Some of those Republicans in office were in fact from the South. U.S. Senators Joseph I. France, John Marshall Butler, John Sherman Cooper and Thruston Ballard Morton come to mind; there might have been others.

Of course those were exceptions; you couldn't get a truly "solid" policy stance against segregation without other pre-conditions and reforms - in essence, attacking the damaging, backward-looking "Lost Cause" mindset at its root by fostering a truly viable and even honorable alternative. This is exactly what was not done, or for that matter even tried, post-Civil War. For better or for worse, the "Lost Cause" was turned into a self-fulfilling prophecy. The Civil Rights laws then forced the issue and the South managed to turn itself around, redefining itself around a new set of values.
None of this would have happened, because the butterfly effect would have wiped Hitler from existence, not to mention the U.S. being split across two polities would also have significant consequences for European history.

You get multiple ones and failover to them or you schedule a maintenance window. Yes, it'll be more expensive, but you probably already have a good reason & the associated budget if you colocate as opposed to renting from Hetzner/OVH/etc.

Is this so different from the cloud? Even an EC2 instance should be assumed to be a single point of failure and you also need multiple (preferably in different AZs or regions) if uptime is important.
Which is it? Barely a day ago, you said "If I start writing Rust..." Now you claim you have been writing Rust all along, on "multiple projects", keeping measurements. Forgive my skepticism.
I saw that. This quote can still give the impression that it is not closing one's eyes "to the problem," but is still about closing one's physical eyes. Or that it's about closing one's eyes to the problem for a bit (but not "a while.") I didn't see it clearly communicated that Dzogchen meditation is something does while in the very situations that WS is talking about.
I by and large agree with this post, but the points under "operation" seem... mismatched to the rest of the article.

> You're no longer "feeling around" while at the same time fighting compiler errors.

> Off-by-one, inverted conditionals, and error-handling are usually very obvious when stepping through code, but difficult to spot when only testing.

These problems feel way more basic than whatever problem you set out to solve initially. Like, several layers away.

If you have to make a fix in an environment that is so complex that you need to fully read many functions and take notes on what they do in order to get the logic right, you are pretty doomed if "will the compiler accept my code" is something that's even on your mind.

Don't get me wrong, it's completely true what the author wrote - it's just strange that these are the problems discussed in a scenario where the code/design is complex enough to warrant an explicit "pre-op" phase. Change my view?

Edit: Sorry, just now read the Conclusion section and it mentions how this article is targeting somewhat junior devs - in that case, I fully concur! ("Cakelisp and GameLib development still continues" primed me for something else.) And yes, the steps do become automatic, even as you deal with more complex problems (i.e. when "will it compile" is no longer conscious thought).
Fair enough. So far it's been under an hour or two a month! We'll see how that pans out in the longer term.
My personal hot take:

Folders are just heirarchical tags.

Tags are just non-heirarchical folders.

Both can be compared to programming classes, with subclassing representing folders (key negative: Can't inherit from multiple parents), and class composition representing tags (key negative: No heirarchy).

Folder names (including parent folders) could automatically be applied as tags. Tags could likewise be viewed as folders (tags with multiple "parents" would be something like symlinks), but would need a heirarchy to become nested.
Apparently wasn't banned for the governor though. Never forget these rules are put into place by some of the biggest hypocrites.
> Do you still believe it?

Yes, I still believe it. Sure, they don't prevent infection or transmission. The vaccines cause you to have less symptoms. By being less symptomatic you're less likely to spread the disease.

> It's hard to fathom that you believe that

Yes, I believe getting everyone vaccinated is not political. It's a public safety issue.

Yes, I can understand that politicians can be influenced. Regardless of whether that's the case here I still would have no issue with pushing for everyone to get vaccinated. The billions being made by the corporations producing the vaccine are a pittance in comparison to all the negative consequences of letting it spread uncontrolled.
They are clearly fasteners, though this subtype is part of a class called in a general fashion “closures” (a rivet is an example of a fastener that is not a closure).

They have the bonus function of carrying expiration date and other manufacturing trace data.

And no, you cannot call these closures, unless you call them “closures”.
Nobody knows how burnt out you are, or how much you're making, so it's a toss up whether you'd really be stepping off the software gravy train or not. Also I don't know the SW business well enough to know if a SRE is a full blown programmer.

I'm a physical scientist, was working in a HW role, and moved to an R&D group where I make extensive use of my programming skills. So I've gone the opposite way. While I do a lot of work in the lab and the factory, if I got hit by a bus, my replacement would need to be a good programmer. I think I'm compensated accordingly.

What I've observed is that anybody who's good enough at programming to do it for money, will eventually be doing so. An option might be for you to up your programming game by getting some more formal training, which your employer might even pay for. This would give you more options in the SW business.

You can expose yourself to the hardware world through a hobby, but it can't turn you into an engineer. Also, the "hard" engineering disciplines require you to get through the full math sequence. Since you're out of school, you'll probably want to brush up on your high school math. Taking the SAT or ACT would be a good way to find out where you stand.
But his vision, in summary, is to dictate a world view. I am not looking forward to what they come up with.

However:

> Four cohorts of adults aged ≥18 years were considered: persons who were 1) unvaccinated with no previous laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 diagnosis, 2) vaccinated (14 days after completion of a primary COVID-19 vaccination series) with no previous COVID-19 diagnosis, 3) unvaccinated with a previous COVID-19 diagnosis, and 4) vaccinated with a previous COVID-19 diagnosis.

Note that "14 days" gap in point 2. Having completed vaccinations but not yet past those 14 days is a sort of dead zone that either ends up grouped in with "unvaccinated" or, I suppose, could be just dropped altogether.

That group really needs to be broken out into its own thing, as that's (one of) the thing(s) the people who are straight against these vaccines are concerned about. They're saying that for those 14 days, you're more prone to infection than someone who is actually unvaccinated, and end up counted in the unvaccinated stats if you are infected.
I agree with the other person who replied to you. By 3000 calories I meant 3000 Calories, which is how people use it. My input is sloppy, Google turns its output into something rigorous.

As the other person replied, it is labelled precisely.
The learning curve is definitely different but once that's done, the maintenance is minimal (modern hardware is surprisingly reliable from my experience). Most maintenance you'll be doing is software-level stuff (system updates, etc) you'd also need on a cloud-hosted EC2 or similar.
Anybody who creates unnecessary conflict is insufferable. There's no reason to use this achievement to bash others.
I've seen ZFS being used with Postgres in a few different environments. Seems to work fine for the most part- surprisingly good compression (~8X in one case, usually lower), with the major downside being increased CPU usage when taking advantage of said compression.

I think that only one or two of those environments were heavily used production instances, so if there is a serious gotcha here it might not have been apparent to me.
Similar with early PayPal integration. I played a mmorpg for a while and figured out that when buying credits and they sent the request to PayPal it was a post. Using Firefox tamper data I would modify the request to submit $1 and on return set it to $20.

Had a similar hack occur on a clients website at work. They sold flowers I think, and gift cards. But the max value was like $30 and we got gift cards for $100/$1000 but they only paid $1. I wasn’t invoked in that bug report but I suspect it was a similar issue.

The good old days.
h(1) == h(some_real_data) does not have to happen at some point. Collisions are unavoidable, but the point of a cryptographically secure hash algorithm is to ensure that for all h(x) == h(some_real_data), there are no values of x that can be found by brute force, or by cleverness either for that matter.

Of course, it’s always possible that the particular hash function used could be hilariously broken…

It also seems like 10 years ago folks were a lot more willing to have discourse, where today… if you have difference(s) of opinion, it's not received as well.

Discourse used to be a thing.
No I have not. I've made multiple comments about how "defund" is often, and reasonably (see definition and common usage), interpreted as such. Just expecting people to adapt their interpretation in the figurative way you want is not reasonable, and is not a winning political strategy either.
It looks way more elegant and modern to me
Am I right that the image doesn't actually contain the code, as in encode it, but rather has a blurred, stylized version of the code? It's not some kind of quine or whatever the of the code to create the image counts as. (Edit: I'm on mobile so just saw a thumbnail, I realized now that it does have all the code in it)

The really cool thing I noticed about this website was the different sizes of the image. The aim is to make a 2^24 pixel image that uses each color on the rgb color space once. That's 48 MB notionally, and some of the images are 20 or 30 MB, but then others are < 1 MB that have a repeating pattern.

Obviously it's possible to encode the image that contains its code in a few kb corresponding to the 100ish lines of code in the image, but the actual size is 42 MB, unsurprisingly the png encoding or whatever it is didn't find the shortcut
The last commit for the source code of ifconfig, route, et. al, for Linux was as of this writing, about six weeks ago:

https://sourceforge.net/p/net-tools/code/ci/4030929bb6f3ee6f...

It's still used in some user spaces, and the Linux kernel supports the system calls for net-tools still today, because of the Torvalds Prime Directive, "though shalt not break userspace".
It seems to have much better performance than VNC for me, so I don't think it's doing the screen capture thing. Or maybe it is and it's just fast regardless.

In my experience it feels almost as good as RDP for Windows, which I think is a great achievement.
