Unix has supported multiple paths pointing to the same inode for a very long time. `man ln`.
(Windows) NTFS has hard links which are multiple pointers to the same file, but I imagine that the strict separation between FSes that made it possible in NT is also the reason why Unix, which has a single arbitrary hierarchy, doesn't have hard links.*

* Yes there are hard links, but the single hierarchy means that unless you memorised the specific FS of each folder, it's gonna be hard.

There are no political discussions about the merits of proprietary software on #guix or the Guix mailing lists. It's just not the right venue for that.

So, yeah, I wouldn't want to waste my time on discussions like that, and we effectively don't.

This is a false dichotomy, but if you don't see it this way I'm not going to be able to convince you otherwise.
I pay $3 per month for my search engine now and i don't have any ads, neither in my search engine, nor in my browser. Very happy about that.

Here too you are asserting things that are highly ideologically biased, or at least influenced.
Minsky thought meditation was dangerous in and of itself. (e.g. you aren't meant to inspect your own functioning)

Personally I did a mindfulness practice for a while that I thought was harmful because it encouraged me to accept unacceptable situations which was already leading me to bad outcomes.

Not that I know of. It really is a horrible system. But it's not one I want Google trying to solve.
Yes, for what it's worth I don't mean to diminish your experience. Nix definitely requires pouring a lot of time to get to a working state, is very under-documented, has terrible error messages, will cause errors that don't exist elsewhere, and has no clear "best practice" guide on how to use it. Those are all super annoying pain-points and I do hope they'll get better over time.

At the end of the day, it's a bit of a balancing act. For me, the up-front work of getting a nix build up was definitely worth it, as it allowed my collaborators to get up to speed on complex projects with complex build systems quickly, and gave me a very simple way to reproduce old binaries when I need to bissect bugs. But it definitely took a huge up-front investment.

If all you're after is a way to pin your toolchains, I echo the recommendation of asdf made in a sibling comment. I use it on simpler projects where I just need to pin a language version (and let the language tooling pin the rest of the dependency tree - package.lock-style). It will often be enough, and is much easier to get started with! The only thing that won't pin will be system dependencies (like openssl and such), but that is often an acceptable tradeoff.
While this article has many flaws, my direct personal experience with VAERS gives me very little confidence that incident reporting is working well.

I'm in my early 40s. I had a major heart attack (100% obstruction of left anterior descending artery) 21 days after my J&J shot in Q2 2021. I now have a stent and significant and permanent heart damage. My health for the decade leading up to it was impeccable. All my labs are well within normal. I exercise 6 days a week: Olympic and power lifting, running, rowing, cycling. I am careful with my diet and carried <15% body fat at 180 lbs. (male). I worked hard to take care of myself. I have no known genetic factors for increased clotting, and while they were placing the stent, they observed virtually no plaque in my arteries and no evidence of rupture. My cardiologist and a second opinion I sought independently could not identify any risk factor to which to attribute my heart attack. Both were highly suspicious of my vaccination.

My cardiologist reported my case to VAERS. I was asked to send a copy of my vaccination card. A month later, I got another e-mail asking to send a copy of my vaccination card. When I called and asked what happened to my first submission, the person had no idea. When I asked whether I could confirm that the current submission worked, they said they had no mechanism for that.

My cardiologist, a professor of cardiology at Stanford, got a phone call that was mostly reminding him that it was a crime to make a false report. Neither of our interactions gave us any confidence that the report was taken seriously at all.

All in all, I simultaneously think that COVID vaccinations are net positive and strongly suspect that there is significant under-reporting of adverse events.

(I imagine that some will think I am a figment of someone's imagination. How I desperately wish that were true.)

One of the links in the article is to Steve Kirsch's http://www.skirsch.com/covid/Deaths.pdf.

"Anaphylaxis is a well known side effect and doctors are required to report it (see FDA Fact Sheet at the top of page 10) because it is considered a “severe adverse reaction.” It occurs right after the shot. You can’t miss it. It should always be reported. A study at Mass General Brigham (MGM) that assessed anaphylaxis in a clinical setting after the administration of COVID-19 vaccines published in JAMA on March 8, 2021, found “severe reactions consistent with anaphylaxis occurred at a rate of 2.47 per 10,000 vaccinations.” This
rate is based on reactions occurring within 2 hours of vaccination, the mean time was 17 minutes after vaccination. This study used “active” surveillance and tried not to miss any cases."

251,000,000 people have received 1 or more doses of COVID vaccines (https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#vaccinations_vacc-... taking that 0.000247 rate at face value results in about 62,000 cases of anaphylaxis-related symptoms. VAERS reports 282, meaning 220x under-reporting, much worse than Kirsch's "As noted in the letter, this implies that VAERS is under-reporting anaphylaxis by 50X to 123X."

Unfortunately, anaphylaxis is not as bad as death and should be more common than death, right? But Kirsch also claims, right at the top of the paper, "The vaccines have killed over 150,000 Americans so far." So that's more than two times as many instances of a result that should be less common, by his own argument.

Somebody here isn't understanding statistics.

Oh, and about that 2.45/10,000 vaccinations? That paper is https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2777417.

"In this prospective cohort of health care employees, 98% did not have any symptoms of an allergic reaction after receiving an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine. The remaining 2% reported some allergic symptoms; however, severe reactions consistent with anaphylaxis occurred at a rate of 2.47 per 10 000 vaccinations. All individuals with anaphylaxis recovered without shock or endotracheal intubation. The incidence rate of confirmed anaphylaxis in this study is larger than that reported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention based on passive spontaneous reporting methods (0.025-0.11 per 10 000 vaccinations).1 However, the overall risk of anaphylaxis to an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine remains extremely low and largely comparable to other common health care exposures.4 Although cases were clinically compatible with anaphylaxis, the mechanism of these reactions is unknown."

In "What Happens if a Third Party is Compromised?" they mention you cannot revoke an attestation once it's committed. What happens if a security audit is conducted, concludes, but a vuln is found a few years down the line?

Security audits are not perfect. Is there a way to say "new information has come up, and this version is no longer secure?"

Even with perfect security audits such a feature might be useful, e.g. when you conducted a security audit, but new SPECTRE-like attack vectors are found.
I agree that the current NFT ecosystem is a house of cards, e.g., the susceptibility of NFTs to link rot. That being said, I think the ecosystem will evolve to a having a more robust way of handling these things as it matures.

For example, rather than only storing a URL that points to the content, perhaps the token could also include a cryptographic hash of the original content? In the case of link rot, the owner could still provide evidence of ownership on the original content by proving that it hashes to the stored value.

There are probably better solutions as well (others have mentioned IPFS).

Cash Aid to Poor Mothers Increases Brain Activity in Babies
I find some people really romanticize renting. It varies by country I guess. It sucks in the UK/Ireland. Here are some downsides to renting off the top of my head:

- Getting kicked out when the landlord wants to sell or "move in their family"

- No pets

- No decorating (painting walls etc)

- Landlord taking up to 12 months to repair basic things, if at all ("well, you accepted the property when X was broken/in Y condition")

- Landlords trying to scam you out of deposits

- Poorly maintained properties

- Up to 25% annual increases in rent

- Moderate to extreme difficulty actually finding somewhere

- Mold. It's incredible how many rentals have mold problems (in my experience)

- Moving costs if you are forced to move frequently

I mean, it's as straightforward a characterization of Jefferson's views as it gets, and from contemporaries.

I don't know about Monroe, but Jefferson was unable to free his slaves because he was deeply in debt (https://www.saturdayeveningpost.com/2015/07/the-debt-and-dea...). He was land (and slave) rich, but cash poor, and had he freed his slaves, his estate would have remained in debt. Jefferson also outlawed the international slave trade, which isn't really something one would be inclined to do if they didn't feel that slavery was an evil that needed to be abolished.

Jefferson could have freed his slaves and left his estate in an irrecoverable debt for the greater cause of abolishing slavery, and at best you could argue that his unwillingness to do that constitutes some form of hypocrisy. That said, it's not at all obvious that his unwillingness to do that suggests that he _wasn't_ opposed to the institution of slavery itself, any more than a socialist/communist today that uses an iPhone is inherently a hypocrite.
....European Christians are unusual in their almost fanatical commitment to equality of all before God's eyes.

At the time they did not overall believe this. At least not in deed. Some did and most didn't. Indeed, 100 years after the Civil War major American cities experienced massive declines in population due to the white flight that ensued as a result of desegregation. Also consider Irish treatment of blacks in New York City during the Civil War. There were Biblical justifications for slavery since the book does not outright say it is wrong. One justification was that Ham was cursed.

....isn't that they practiced slavery, but that they recognized that it was categorically evil (not just evil in particular applications).

It simply isn't true that at that the time Europeans more or less universally thought slavery was categorically evil.
This is... An odd choice. I'd assume I'm not without context looking at a query to know why I would want those columns.

And the auto complete story is backwards. Often I know what columns I want, but I'm not clear what table I need to get them from. Such that, if you make a smarter suggest in the from to only include tables that have the columns, I'd be much happier.

At what point does the candidate pool simply run out of experienced people for these companies to hire? There's always going to be new grads and junior engineers entering the market, ready to sacrifice the prime years of their lives for the good of the company, but the demand for experienced engineers and other staff has never been higher. Where are they finding these people that aren't aware of the toxic work environment? Or are they aware and that fat TC is just too great to ignore?

I can't believe that the leadership of these companies fail to see the damage to their brand amongst potential employees. They're treading a very fine line between "How do we force the most out of our employees for profit?" and "What do we do when we can't get anyone to work for us any more?" I think we're starting to see the scale tip toward the later.

Wait, hold on. That logic doesn't work at all. For most of the 20th century, the Democratic party included the nation's staunchest supporters of Jim Crow. The Democratic and Republican parties of the first have of the 20th century have almost no relationship whatsoever to their modern incarnations --- we were, for much of the 20th century, effectively a four-party state, with two major factions of both major parties.

The institutional Democratic party didn't even meaningfully challenge the segregationist solid south until '48, and Thurmond didn't switch parties until the '60s.

It can get you into trouble in real (high pressure, specifically) hydraulic circuits, since hydraulic pumps/actuators are almost always flow (current) sources instead of voltage/pressure sources. It's almost a fundamental rule, since liquids are so incompressible. A hydraulic reservoir under a very high pressure will only provide a tiny amount of flow before the pressure drops to zero.

The opposite is also true; if the flow out of a pump is blocked then the pressure will immediately climb extremely high and usually break things. Once you get into the weeds with transistors etc you obviously also have to worry a lot more about currents, but with hydraulics it's always about the flow.

I don't think the author is asking you to, at all. They are pointing out that there are two "camps" and you will see these terms bandied about (e.g. if you google stuff). But then they claim (rightly, I think for an intro like this) that it doesn't really matter for the material to (immediately) follow and you are better off focusing on more fundamental ideas of probability.
Thanks for the clarification. Let's fix it in PyYAML then :)

Speaking of PyYAML, I recently ran into an issue where I had to heavily patch PyYAML to prevent its parse result from being susceptible to entity expansion attacks. It would be nice to at least have a PyYAML mode to completely ignore anchors and aliases (as well as tags) using simple keyword arguments. Protection against entity expansion abuse would be nice too.

Personally I think that biology may be a flawed approach for most applications. Although the others arr worthy ends in themselves just for its role in understanding ourselves in a forensic archaeologist try to replicate sort of way, let alone any potential insights to biological brains.

Biology is glacially slow in comparison and one of the advantages from computing is being fast.

I believe that not modeling it is partially by design as a result of responsibility and blame frameworks. If you depend upon possible actions taken by others to be safe you are reckless. Extrapolating from current motions is more reliable than trying to profile everything. "They are moving towards the street at 3mph and 20 ft away, their vector will intersect with car, brake to avoid collision or accelerate enough to leave intersection zone before they can even reach us" seems a more reliable approach. It isn't like a kid will suddenly teleport into the road.

While this is true, these analogies do have limits of applicability, like all models have. They are only valid down to a specific point of abstraction and only within certain bounds.
You just have to be aware of the limits of your analogies, to use them as a tool, an educational one in this context.

That's how modelling works.
