Yes, I agree. Applying Boolean negation logic is something I do regularly, I just don’t usually hold forum posts to the same standard :) it should have been an AND.

If I do manage to buy and use a flying rig, an emergency chute will be a part of it. I’ve seen enough videos to warn me against not having one. (Have fun parsing THAT expression!)
As far as I can remember, HP has always randomized the default iLO password. ProLiants used to come with a "toe tag" (little card attached to rack mount server by string) that had the iLO MAC, iLO hostname, default username and default password. Newer ProLiants put it on a sticker on the server itself or on a pull-out tab.

I don't really understand this perspective. Why should you be allowed to run whatever you want on your MacBook but not on your phone? What makes a phone so different that the software you run on it should be more restricted than the software you run on a desktop?

I would understand (though personally disagree) if you wanted the walled garden everywhere, but it seems contradictory to only want it on phones and not computers.
"I picked nginx as my default webserver, although I hear Apache is also good."

In my opinion: when you have choice, get to know all the options (within reason). I have Apache as my default, purely because nginx didn't exist for many years. When nginx turned up, I gave it a while to calm down and now I deploy it quite often. I deploy something like 75% Apache and 25% nginx.

I tend to Apache from inertia but I quite like the clean easy setup for a simplish site with nginx - this is with Debian/Ubuntu style defaults, which do not favour nginx.

Readable standby instances is something AWS just recently added actually: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/database/readable-standby-insta...

Though it seems to require you to have 3 instances rather than just letting you read from the standby... I don't quite get the rationale for that.

Not really. I see a lot of chaos.

I'm having trouble finding the statistics again, but I think the success rate of stereotypical pack or pride hunters like wolves or lions is actually quite low. Whereas it's my understanding that orca success rates are pretty high, despite hunting far more intelligent animals.
Not at all.

Forex yes, futures yes, derivatives yes - these are speculative or hedging instruments. Not investments. I've never heard anyone advocate people HODL /NQ futures in their investment account and borrow against them as an investment strategy. Let alone calling them "the future of money." But this is basically what crypto is.

Money market funds aren't investments, they're cash equivalents, but they still facilitate lending. They're the present of money.

Equities are positive-sum instruments where you purchase a fractional ownership stake in a business that employs people and uses the revenue from their business to return capital to investors in the form of dividends, buybacks or intrinsic value appreciation. Their performance is inherently tied to labor.

These are not at all the same thing.
This is an accident of history and will eventually be corrected: https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/issues/2678.

It is certainly not intended that new features are unencrypted, but unfortunately sometimes it happens in order for features to get added sooner.
It was pretty straightforward, following UTM's setup guide for Ubuntu, Docker's setup guide, and Mutagen's:

- https://mac.getutm.app/gallery/ubuntu-20-04
- https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/ubuntu/
- https://mutagen.io/documentation/introduction/installation

I create my Mutagen sync with a command like:

mutagen sync create --name=mysite ~/Sites/mysite ubuntu@192.168.64.2:~/mysite --ignore=node_modules,vendor --ignore-vcs --default-owner-alpha=tallytarik --default-group-alpha=staff

As well as the `--default-owner-` switches, I had some file permission issues on the Docker side. I ended up using `setfacl` to enforce really permissive permissions on `~/mysite` on the VM side, otherwise some Docker containers would complain. It turns out Docker for Mac fakes some file permissions, which is why it wasn't a problem before.

Other than that, it mostly just worked! Feel free to get in touch if you have more specific questions.

I would expect that postage scam to only work in the same geographic area. If you put a return as California but dropped it in the box in NY I dont know if they would return it, would they? If so I would imagine they have anti-fraud measures against doing this in mass.
I don't think you realize how much the laughably obtuse skeptic and the crypto die-hards have in common. Both agree that 98% of the space is a scam (though not in market cap terms), its just some people actually look in to find the pockets of progress and value, while others ignore it all and stay poor and resentful. I hate using the term "stay poor," but when I continually see these forever skeptics less versed in blockchain space and current progress than those who simply read and make a moderate effort its hard to conclude that these skeptics are drawing conclusions from their deep understanding of what is going on; it must be something more shallow, like missing out.

Saw a post on reddit today that basically had a restaurant laying down the law:

Absolutely no food shall be taken home at the end of the shift this includes: Messed up food, no-shows, and PAID food that you buy yourself. (Probably because of the employee discount)...

For restaurant workers who probably struggle putting food on the table, this is just a slap on the face. They can definitely afford to feed their workers dinner and even their whole family back at home nightly and not lose much. I used to run a restaurant back in 2010 and would let my staff at least take home some food a few nights per week, esp when we had a good week and good profit returns. We were on a tight budget but they were happy working there!
Sour grapes and misinformation. The reason to break up with Firefox (and especially Chrome and Safari) is that they are browsers which believe and are designed in a way where the end user does not have control. The end user is to be protected from themselves by removing control. It started in version 37 with Firefox, when they made it so you can no longer edit or add extensions without first getting approval from Mozilla. It's only become more like Safari and Chrome in the years since.

Don't break up with Firefox because they mentioned a way to donate you don't like. Break up with them because they're actively shipping browsers that are user hostile. Just like Apple and Google.
Any hard data on any of that?
Autonomy took advantage of their UK base to avoid Sarbanes-Oxley and simulated growth by buying defunct US companies and rolling up their revenue. I don't see why this guy hasn't been extradited yet due to the fact that virtually all of the activity, especially the acquisition, took place in the US.
> Many algorithmic stablecoins like DAI can be fully audited on chain and have proved to be robust (so far, 4 years).

You can't make something from nothing. Alogrithmic stablecoins are just the financial equivalent of honey pots. If you can knock them off their peg you can win big and this has happened many times. Perpetual motion doesn't exist and neither do stable long-term fractionally reserved algorithmic stablecoins.

This is true of all pegs - even in classical finance. This is literally how George Soros made all his money. [1]

MIM and UST are two fractionally reserved algorithmics that got knocked off their pegs yesterday. And this isn't even the first time for UST, I'm led to believe they required a capital infusion of a few hundred million greenbacks to maintain the peg a while ago.

> They let you trustlessly borrow USD ...

Not USD, no. A stablecoin with an opaque backing.

> ... top up your collateral and whatever else you would do with a loan but with no middlemen.

Of course there are middlemen, it's the validators or miners and contract authors and liquidity providers. There's a ton of middle men.

I can accept that. But in order to improve, we have to get specific about what it is that is lacking compared to e.g. Discord.
I've been saying for years that Apple should do something like this, as an alternative to Apple's exorbitant App Store fees.

Today: Apple charges app devs 15-30% of IAP revenue, providing new users "for free" in search and editorial highlighting.

Tomorrow: Apple could charge 0% of IAP revenue for "unlisted" apps. Unlisted app developers could buy Search Ads to pay for new users.

I think this would align incentives for devs and Apple much better. I should be paying Apple a market rate for what they actually offer me, new users, and not a fixed percentage based on IAP sales that I'm merchandising to my own users after acquiring them.
I think you're right with your edit. Its about memory of lost things, not our selves.
This is definitely written from a British perspective -- “Antipodean” and “recce” at least are much more conventional in British English than you might guess.

In this case I took “Antipodean” to have the additional meaning of extreme remoteness from Britain (both the setting of the documentary and implicitly the centre of the universe from the British perspective).
Yes but do you understand what speculation means? Speculation means betting on future value.
They made a mis-step and then quickly corrected it. Apparently that's not enough for the author:

As an Australian who lived a number of years in the UK, I was initially surprised had how frequently I’d encounter people using the term antipodes to refer to Australia and New Zealand. A term I understood but had never actually seen or heard used previously. Yet it had fairly common and casual usage in the UK.

> "But so what? Clearly it is meant to say much more than geography ...".

Maybe. Maybe it was meant to emphasise the distance and isolation from much of the rest of the world. Or maybe it was just a turn of phrase that is common and understood in a context and experience outside your own.
It’s very team dependent - look at llvm and webkit for instance.

It could also be that someone would rather not be out in public, which is also understandable.

Amateur boxing prepared me for business
Boxing has been a big part of my life since I was 19, which is coincidentally around the first time I started to think about my career. The squared circle is my muse; it always pulls me back in. It’s a passion I haven’t always publicized, because, well, black eyes and busted noses are generally frowned upon in board rooms. So at the risk of taking a career limiting detour to discuss the sweet science (dark arts?), I wrote about honing a craft and respecting the game in my newsletter. And scattered throughout I’ll share some videos of me getting punched in the face.
The 5.25" floppy disk was pretty good at transferring data between machines at the time and didn’t introduce many unintended consequences.

Let’s say for the sake of argument that the 5.25" floppy disk actually transferred data slower then if you had handwritten it between the machines, you couldn’t use the data from the 5.25" floppy disk unless you first validated it which would take several kW hours of power. You also could claim a stake at the data and could potentially sue other disk users for patent violations if you validated some patent more often then them. Now you have a case of a technology that is: a) worse then the alternative, b) expensive to use, and c) has harmful unintended consequences. Now I would consider the 5.25" floppy disk a good comparison to cryptocurrency. However the 5.25" floppy disk was none of these things, as it was a perfectly good technology at the time for data interchange despite it’s limitation. The same can not be said about cryptocurrency.

Now this is a silly example I know, I couldn’t find a more realistic case of unintended consequence for the 5.25" floppy disk.
Include the client library if you want, but the wire format is ridiculously simple. I'll implement it from memory in a HN comment.

http.HandleFunc("/metrics", func(w http.ResponseWriter, req *http.Request) {
w.WriteHeader(http.StatusOK)
w.Header().Add("content-type", "text/plain")
w.Write([]byte("# HELP foo_bar The numbers of foos barred.\n# TYPE foo_bar counter\nfoo_bar 42\n"))
})

The client library is largely to keep track of running counters (and gauges, histograms, etc.), with a small amount of code to actually report those metrics when scraped. It's a very simple format.

Just the process of separating an individual from the herd shows such a great deal of coordination, especially in the case of the herd circling multiple calves or calves with mothers.

Watching ~6 wolves chase 6 candidate buffalo, then quickly joining forces as soon as one target makes a mistake is incredible to watch.

Same as when they taunt individuals to draw them out and attack the flank.

And while the verbal communication of orcas is impressive, the wolves use of howls when out of sight, and visual cues while in sight is no less impressive to me.

Why is it that everything a crypto die-hard says is held to the flame but when you are a skeptic you are allowed to be ignorant and obtuse? The space needs hard looks for every claim said, not just the positives.

This is something that I really disagree with in our modern discourse, that people or groups of people are apparently incapable of change.

Mozilla did a thing, Mozilla got crap for it, Mozilla undid the thing and apologized. How does continuing to be publicly mad at them and ending one's use of their product inspire future people or groups to actually change?

It's the same as when people dig through old social media posts and then slag on someone in the here and now for it. "Oh, so you say you are a supporter of [thing] but what about that time in 2005 when you made an off-color joke about [thing] and left it laying around the Wayback Machine for anyone to find with barely an hour's worth of digging?!"
Genius certainly exists, but it is often confused with the application of years of directed effort.
I don’t think it’s lack of support so much as lack of demand. MacOS containers sound like a solution looking for a problem.
“Recce” is the kind of word you might use in the Scouts or Territorial Army, so it has some macho outdoorsy connotations that work really well here.

your initial hunch was correct.

there is definitely an issue. not so much that your coworker would get upset or anything. but it is true that anime & mangas geared towards men (shonen and seinen) tend to overuse young girls for effect. they even have names for the different archetypes.

those geared towards women (shojo and josei) do the same thing but they have a different drawing style. the manga guide collection is not using that style.

the manga guides are cool with me. but that does not invalidate the issue though. it's exactly the same issue as men with perfect six packs on romantic novel covers.

> Besides that, I'm a huge fan of disposable code. In my experience 99% of the time, the best approach is to just dive into the problem and try to solve the problem

My approach is slightly different.

I think for a while and then start on the path that gets me to what I think is a common case. If the whole seems more complicated than reasonable, I back out the part that seems to be troublesome.

Eventually, I get one case "working". That case might not be complete, but it does something.

I then work on an adjacent case, using the same "back out the troublesome" process, going into a bit more detail (or perhaps deciding that some detail on the first case was wrong).

I repeat "work on adjacent cases" until most/all cases are handled. As I do more cases, I use opportunities to reduce the cognitive footprint.
There were quite a few deep cuts and some of their influences there that unless one listened to every Beatles record and saw their interviews one might not recognize, only the big hits got airplay on genre stations (some pop, some classic rock, some countdown best of) 10-20 years later. I'm about the same age but had all their albums. The last few albums had eclectic mix of songs compared to earlier pop hits centered albums.
I’ve certainly seen it different because I make sure it happens.

What you’re talking about is the human equivalent of tech debt. Occasionally you need to take out a loan, but you had better have a good reason why and a plan to pay it back.

If there’s crunch to get something live and then people scale back, that’s one thing. But if the product/company/whatever is only successful if people work in an unsustainable way then it’s not actually successful. Better to understand that before everyone is burned out and miserable.

> Social fallacies are particularly insidious because they tend to be exaggerated versions of notions that are themselves entirely reasonable and unobjectionable. It’s difficult to debunk the pathological fallacy without seeming to argue against its reasonable form; therefore, once it establishes itself, a social fallacy is extremely difficult to dislodge. It’s my hope that drawing attention to some of them may be a step in the right direction.

>I wouldn’t be surprised if many animals are smarter on average than humans are on average.

This doesn't really make any sense. I realize it's fun to have opposite opinions of the majority on the internet but animals don't make complex tools, they don't have the ability for substantial transfer of information from generation to generation, and the complexity of communication in even the cleverest animals is very low compared to human language.

I'd be really surprised to learn there was a single lifeform on earth with anything approaching human level intelligence.
