> it's objectively unrealistic in terms of dialogue (nobody talks that way in real life!)

There are different levels of realism in art. Guernica is not a realistic real life portrayal or what a war scene would look like if photographed.

The more interesting question to me is whether it conveys the subjective experience of war in a meaningful way to the viewer? In other words, say person A has a first-hand experience with war and comes away from it with belief X. Then person B looks at a work of art and also comes away from it with belief X. Then in some sense, the art is a realistic portrayal of war because it caused the same change in the viewer that experiencing war does. The fact that it doesn't aesthetically look like it is not particularly relevant. It's an artifact.

Togetherness is profoundly unrealistic because it is a series of two-dimensional images shown at a fixed frame rate from a viewpoint that spontaneously and instantly jumps from place to play with wildly varying focal points. It is very far removed from what it would be like to be in the room with the actors. Not to mention short pieces of music spontaneously being heard from no appreciable source in the scene.

But you accept that those kinds of unreality are not important for your appreciation of the work.

The kinds of unreality that bother you about Ted Lasso are in the set of things that I don't consider important. The behavior of the characters (especially in the first season) rang true to me.

Yes but soon then you're running a kitchen and then a cafe and catering business, as well as a software startup. Which, given how many startups had in-office lunch/food pre-covid is maybe not a bad way to think of that.
139MB is utter insanity for an animated GIF.

Crushing it with gifsicle can get it down to 125MB but clearly GIF is the wrong choice of format here.

Here's a HEVC compressed video version which is only 25M and suffers only extremely mild softness: http://david.gloveraoki.net/f/32M.mp4

It would probably be even better if I could work with the source video and not the gif version.

FreeBSD is most likely slower than linux in most scenarios. ZFS is supported natively in Linux ( Ubuntu ), jail are terrible compared to Docker, since Docker is very popular there are a millions tools built arround it, it's not just for sand boxing, it's a part of a complet development process.
Who cares about boot process on a server seriously?

"FreeBSD's network stack is (still) superior to Linux's - and, often, so is its performance."

This is wrong, if it was the case most large compagnies would use BSD, atm they all use Linux, the only large compagny using BSD is Netflix because they added some tls offloading in kernel for their CDN which could have been done in Linux btw.

imo don't use tech that is not widely used, you're going to reinvent the wheele in a worse way because tool a.b.c is missing.
I like gitlab, but I'm not sure elegant is the word I'd use for them; they have a severe case of wanting to check all the boxes for features, but it can be a little clunky to see how the parts work together. My pick for elegance would be sourcehut. On the other hand, they all seem to work pretty decently and the clunkiness isn't that bad, so I keep using it:)
Surely the number of people that actually buy is a much better rejection of that?
There is firstly a survivorship bias. People who survived covid once were on average healthier than the people that died. Next people who got vaccinated alone and managed to avoid catching covid entirely had the lowest mortality followed by those who got vaccinated before catching covid.

To say that given 2 different priors one is superior to the other and ergo one should behave such is wrong because it doesn't consider the cost of the prior. Considering the full cost you aren't better off getting covid and in most cases all of society is better off and ergo you yourself on net as well if you avoid it as long as possible so as to spread it out and get it when resources are available to treat you and because quality of treatment goes up over time as more treatments become available and as importantly more broadly available.

During AIDS outbreak, Fauci pushed for FDA to approve the toxic and expensive drug known as AZT which was eventually discontinued. https://www.spin.com/2015/10/aids-and-the-azt-scandal-spin-1...

'Dr. Anthony Fauci is rewriting history. He is doing so to disguise his shameful role in delaying promotion of an AIDS treatment that would have prevented tens of thousands of deaths in the first years of the epidemic.

In my book, Body Counts, A Memoir of Politics, Sex, AIDS, and Survival, I recount how slow the federal government was in publicizing the use of Bactrim and other sulfa drugs to prevent PCP (the pneumonia that was then the leading killer of people with AIDS) in addition to its long-time and well-known use to treat PCP.'
US is more dense though (going by www.worldometers.info). I think these explanations “why we can’t have good things” are too simplistic.

you're saying you had a heart attack 3 weeks after your vaccine shot, ... somehow because you are in good health the vaccine is a likely enough cause to file with VAERS, but your main issue is that the procedure around the reporting seemed incompetent?

With regards to the heart attack, probably just base rate fallacy. ostensibly healthy people have heart attacks at a surprisingly high rate (and it's also something easy to detect).

With regards to VAERS, I can imagine that they get an absurdly high number of prank calls and so they have to warn people not to break the law.
Is this partly because there is no (or very little) commercial support for FreeBSD and therefore nobody is all that interested in the boring bits like long-term stability releases such as the 5 year release, 5 years of support suggestion in that thread? The volunteers want to do new and interesting things. They don't want to backport fixes for 5 year old bugs anymore when most likely the subsystem that contained that bug has already been replaced in current anyway, so "what's the point?". And if nobody is being paid to do it, if there's nobody _to pay_ to do it, then nobody is going to do it. This has always been the problem with FreeBSD. Despite some great technology the operating system itself has mostly fallen by the wayside in the grand scheme of things. There's way too much FreeBSD "religion" in that community IMO.

People don't care about 21000 packages they care about say 5. An environment which has 5 has excellent software availability for that user. One that has 3 it has for that user poor availability.

Debian has far more packages but pure numbers are hard to compare when packages are broken up in different fashions and missing 1 package that 30% of users desire is more problematic than missing 1000 package that collectively 3% of users desire. More so if that 1 package is required for the users computer to work properly or indeed at all.

For a substantial number of users Guix has insufficient software availability and one notes that for example that for example Fedora which is very free software focused doesn't forbid you from discussing nonfree software in its channel. Elsewhere you tout that RMS wasn't allowed to remove clang from the package collection as if it were proof of value. Other distributions don't have benevolent dictators trying to remove useful free software for ideological reasons.

We are all habituated to what we perceive as normal. Neither situation is actually normal and indeed is sufficient reason by itself to ignore a superior product like GUIX and does a disservice to the cause of free software by decreasing the number of people willing to put up with it. I'd go so far as to say that without more liberal attitude from other player the entire free software movement would already be dead. A free software only default is perfectly fine as is acknowledging practical consideration to drive interest in free software in order to provide a larger base of people from which to draw potential contributors in order to continue to strengthen the base.

If GUIX is Debian than someone ought to just make a Ubuntu that largely ignores ideology and focuses on the practical.
No actually. That’s a good idea!

While you are correct in that most things borne of the blockchain space are scams, it's important to understand that it's not much different from the "technology" of the FAANGs, in terms of the harm principle.

We like to denigrate NFTs and Tether, and slag on the enormous climate and social costs of BTC speculation, while we turn a blind eye to the fact that social media and adtech are fundamentally parasitic and socially destructive technologies that are far worse for the climate, our mental health, and our privacy than an exit scam or an overpriced NFT could ever be

I should clarify that the 8 hours was above and beyond the costs of running it yourself on AWS. So that is not counting the 2x ec2 instances, plus the minor s3 and elb costs. Didn't really run the numbers for equivalent hardware elsewhere, since that wasn't an option for us. Eyeballing it real quick right now, its still maybe an hour / month vs other places for the hardware. It is a relatively small instance though, saving probably are much better as it gets to larger sizes. Pre-paying for reserved instances helps here as well.
Seems like a reasonable bill to CA people, with a decent chance of being passed though right?

Seems like most urban CA people would go for something like this.

Help prevent spread of Covid with virtually no downside.

Californians should ALL be mandated to take the vaccine not just kids.

Masks could also possibly be a target for a future permanent mandate by the government of CA.

COVID is just one of many respiratory diseases that are dangerous to certain vulnerable groups.

Drug resistant TB, SARS, the Flu.

California should really be the leader in pathogen safety here and enact vaccine and mask mandates for ALL of it's citizens.

Gloves could be a good safety option as well.
> This article has very poor reasoning. For example, the author states

I feel you may have misread the article. The author doesn't "state" the lines you quoted, she quotes someone else (Dr Peter Doshi) who used this line in a presentation as an example of something that deserves further investigation. The part of the quote the author highlighted (a couple lines after) was "There’s something to be curious about. There’s something not adding up." She uses this quote to provoke thought, not to claim that (the unspoken) answer is obvious.

> The author attempts to argue against the vaccine

I don't think this is the argument she's making. The main thrust of her argument is that adverse side-effects of the vaccine are systematically underreported. While this could be used as part of an argument against the vaccine, she doesn't actually try to make that argument. The closest she comes is in the conclusion, where she says "I believe that for someone of my age and health, I was taking on more risk than reward, especially considering the fact that its efficacy wanes relatively quickly." Whether or not she is right, I'd wager this means she believes that many people (older than her or in poorer health) definitely benefit from the vaccine.
The symbol itself has, to the right audience, some self-affirmation-like implications for those who appreciate it or find it useful.

The more modern "evil meme" thing is also less relevant for people who have come to research or understand the symbol in specific contexts. I used to be in a cult, and my mom sent me a pentagram ornament for Christmas one year. She meant it to be understood in one of these specific contexts.

It's like, some people wonder why a techie would ever call themselves a scary and obviously criminal name like "hacker"...well, in the right contexts it carries meanings across the entire spectrum from good to evil and more.

Also there are people who think this kind of "obvs evil" thing is harmless and on top of that, funny. You may see them organizing horror movie parties and choosing superficially evil decor for their homes...

This feels like a English-language thing. In english we tend to put our adjectives first, it feels natural, "Where is my red, round ball?", rather than some other languages (like German) where you put the subject first. Equivalent of "Where is my ball, red & round?"

While it inherently feels unnatural I do agree with the others here that the context is actually easier to understand once over the initial uncomfort.
Interest in FreeBSD will cause other people to post about FreeBSD.
glad to see this here and I would expand on it bc I think it's so important.

For a long time, I, too, thought accepting Something Bad meant forcing oneself to appreciate it somehow, to reframe it as actually good, or to lie to oneself or even to "approve" of it. Just to re-iterate: those would all be unproductive, or Wrong Action, or just "bad."

Instead, accepting means allowing one's self to acknowledge something happened without it driving thought to somewhere else. E.g. I was assaulted by a neighbor recently... true story... I was very traumatized for a few weeks and unable to process it well. As I slowly gathered myself up, I began to accept it. It doesn't mean I approve of it or welcome it or anything like that. I still hate the motherfucker and I'm disturbed that justice will never come for him, except hopefully he will fuck over the wrong person who is unlike me a scary person, and he'll get what he has coming.

But you see how I digressed there, moving out of the present and away from the fact, moving toward a fantasy? That part is not acceptance, either. For me, acceptance is simply being able to sit still and say, "yes, my neighbor injured me for life."

And to sit. and wait. and abide. and feel those urges to get mad and perhaps to get mad, but not to lose focus. When we get mad and lose focus, our minds confuse the negative feelings with our surroundings. I need to train my mind to connect the anger with what he did - not my current, comfy surroundings with a 43" 4k monitor and cool can of cranberry lime seltzer.

We do this because magic happens. when we simply sit with it, our mind begins to actually process it. It's an organic version of a mechanistic process that you don't have to consciously run, but you can almost consciously obbserve. I like to imagine a fleet of trucks in a warehouse. They are carrying the heavy load of the trauma or upset in them and they need to bring it to the right departments in the brain to chop it up, water it down, separate it, dissolve, and re-fabricate it into something new. This is an automatic process our minds have apparently evolved. And it's free!

But it requires some squirminess, some patience, some willingness to temporarily feel discomfort while sitting here, feeling the pain in my lower back, coming to terms with it. not appreciating it, but become capable of sitting with it.

So I urge GP to circle back and consider this way of accepting, rather than someone telling you you should appreciate or thank the pain or some kind of bullshit like that. This doesn't correct or justify and evil. All this does is remove my own excess reaction to it so I can bring myself to peace by not flipping out when I inevitably recall it.

Please accept my compassion for whatever your circumstances were and consider the advice of the late Thich Nhat Hanh to sit still and take it in. Let the delivery tracks in your mind do their processing and you will feel it settle and your mind will allow you to function better again.

You can just set the sample count really high (up to 1 trillion). The samples are not compressed in RAM, so the maximal capture time is determined by the size. For 8 GiG and 24 MHz this means you can capture for ~6 minutes.

I tend to simply set the sample count higher than needed and stop the capture prematurely.

for me, folders are just a limited form of tagging. since i switched from mutt with its folders to sup which uses tags for email, i don't want to look back. first of all, my extensive list of mutt folders was trivially translated to equivalent tags, so i could continue as i was used to. but then, tagging allowed me to create additional tags as i needed them. i didn't tag everything, and sup also indexes all mails and also has search, so in fact i get the advantage of both tags and search (and i can save searches and treat them like virtual tags/folders as well).

well, effectively, tags too, are just a specialized form of searching.

the one thing i don't see is the problem with tags getting out of sync.

yes, it happens. tags do become obsolete, but that is rarely a problem. it just means that i find get more results than i should otherwise. occasionally when i see way to many obsolete tags i go and clean up that particular category of tags. if it is just a few then i ignore them.

and if i look at a tag and i don't find what i need, then i search for it, and add the tag when i find it so that next time i'll find it faster, because with more than 2 million emails in my archive search alone is not good enough.

> I tend to think of mindfulness in terms of turning unknown unknowns into known unknowns. The former isn't actionable because you're not even aware of it. The latter is actionable in some way, but the exact way to go about it may not necessarily be obvious or easy.

I like that and somewhat agree. It's not that some mystical force makes life easier for you because of your merit, it's just that you have a much greater awareness and comfort of your own ignorance. So it's not a surprise when that ignorance is revealed by the situations of life in stark ways, and you can more calmly respond to them than if you were otherwise triggered by them in an identified way.
