I keep most of my points extremely simple and avoid complex language unless I'm with a group of people whom I trust to understand subtlety. If you look at the history of my comments, you can see people often completely misunderstand what I say, often attributing the opposite opinion to the one I hold (or stated; I often don't state my personal opinion).

Curious as to why no one is recommending just paying for Google Workspace? $6/month for Google vs $5/month for Fastmail seems similar enough to avoid the hassle of transferring email servers.
My wife cuts mine and the kids, takes about 5 minutes and no problem with our double crowns. Before then I'd get a haircut whenever I had the time, usually once every 6-9 months. At one point I went for 5 cuts in a row (about 3 years) getting a haircut on a different continent each time.
it worked for phone charger adaptors. every phone had its own proprietary connector before the EU stepped in and mandated micro usb. and things immediately got so much better.
DBZ memes are some of the first ones I remember as a kid, before we called them memes. I'm enjoying the resurgence of them (although this particular one isn't my favorite).
+1 for MXRoute. I switched a few of my domains from Legacy GSuite in the last week, and the transition has been seamless. I am going to check out Cypht - that looks to be the answer to my last minor quibble.

Going by the narrative, did you mean you switched from Protonmail to Fastmail?
I think we're way beyond the point where Google is simply not to be trusted with any of its communications regarding the longevity of legacy products. See the killed by google graveyard guy (https://github.com/codyogden/killedbygoogle) for all examples there.
Wild animals are profoundly irrelevant to the modern world. Of all the animals on earth, ~50% are the ones we grow to eat. Around 46% are - humans. Leaving 4% 'wild' animals.

In other words, we would need > 10X as many animals in the wild as we have now, to approach the food capacity we now consume. There's just no room for that.
You can, but it will work in userspace and be a bit slower was well as use utun instead of NetworkExtensions.
Awesome!

I wish my edgerouter had something like that...
I am a bit fuzzy on the details, but I think I recall Microsoft charging OEMs for selling devices without an OS installed. So some vendors have gotten into the habit of selling devices with FreeDOS preinstalled.

One of my laptops came with FreeDOS preinstalled, and it was about € 50,- cheaper than the version with Windows. Being a Linux person, I gladly took the discount.

I did run into a use case where FreeDOS was insufficient, though - in my last job, our automation people were maintaining an industrial plant whose SCADA software ran on DOS. I have no clue what they did, but apparently it would only run well on MS-DOS. One of our engineers suspected that timing issues regarding the serial port played a role, but in the end, we never found out. I installed MS-DOS 6.22 on two machines, and that was the end of it.

I got a kick out of it, though. Imagine installing an early 1990s OS on late 1990s hardware in ~2016.
Thanks for the article! I love methods :-)
Fantastic YTMND vibes.
I thought it was supposed to be expensive? Don't you lecture me with your fancy and expensive haircut? Though I didn't watch Dragon Ball that long, so I don't know. Maybe he is belittling him that his haircut is so cheap?
I just became homeless again last night. Thanks for your thoughtful suggestion.
The problem with your code is that it won't type check. It runs just fine because CPython doesn't care about type checking. But if you run mypy on it it will not understand.
sure, I do think there should be several standard form factors, based on the fact that there's different voltage tools alone. But it can still be standardized so that there's just like 4 - 6 to choose from, rather than every manufacturer forcing you into their ecosystem of incompatible chargers and batteries.
Couldn't this be explained by the fact that power switches back and forth? Bush, Clinton, Bush, Obama, Trump, Biden.

Wouldn't it be weird to, for example, pass single payer national healthcare under D and then repeal it 4-8 years later under R?

The fact that our political systems avoid radical swings is a feature. Certainly change happens on a longer timescale, which sounds reasonable to me.
Flameshot was posted on here a couple days ago. I always used that for documentation and it works very well.

If you go for a very short buzz you'll have a good idea of your head shape, and whether it'll help or hurt if you go hairless.

Figuring out whether or not there is discrimination is not saying that any differences comes from discrimination. Identifying differences is the first step in doing that, not the last step.
It is completely inappropriate for the government to force people to give up their privacy and share so much with a third party. And it is completely unethical for this company, Id.me, to pursue it. I already am able to use banks and other devices successfully without this service, and I used the IRS website fine as well. Why do this? It smells a lot like corruption.
1C is usually not 1hr from empty to fully charged, because of CC-CV charging. Most Li based chemistries charge at 1C until a certain threshold (when the needed voltage for 1C charging reaches a maximum predetermined level, usually the target max cell level, e.g. 4.2V). After that, you charge at constant voltage until you reach full charge. If the battery is significantly oversized, i.e. it treats 85% charge as 100% for the user, then 1C might be possible from 0 to 100%, but usually it's not.
I think when the amount of time you can drive on a battery equals the amount of time humans can stay awake, we'll have reached a good equilibrium.
thanks. it wont cure tinnitus/hyperacusis which has robbed me of my ability to focus on difficult tasks.
I hope internet regulation is improved to stop child sexual abuse online. Things like requiring SMS verification to play a video game are a good first step, but anyone can get a burner number for $5. It should be more tied to a cryptographic government ID in a way that you can register to multiple vendors' games without any of them being able to imitate you. Then we can start to have true accountability for people who say bad things to kids online.
I once tried to help an acquaintance find a men’s homeless shelter. We probably called 15 at least but almost all of them deal only with women and children. It’s heartbreaking. Men who are homeless have very little resources compared to other demographics. Please try contacting some organizations where you can volunteer; often times they are filled with good people who would be happy to put you up in their home and help you find your feet. It may feel like all is lost but it never is. Sometimes it’s very difficult if not impossible to believe that but it is true.

> They had plenty of stories where field owners couldn’t find Americans who would stick to the work for more than week.

Sure, because the pay or other benefits weren't good enough. There are sometimes other considerations as well, like that some of this work is temporary/seasonal and people want something steady.

> If I had a choice between living by myself and making $36/hour working in a field and getting a roommate and working in a warehouse (or an Amazon delivery driver), guess which one I would choose?

That's a weird question. You could easily keep working in that field and still get a roommate and you'd get to keep even more money.
Thanks. Basically I'm told that some stories I complete quickly while others drag out. I'm on a team that works with multiple systems (10ish), multiple languages, multiple stacks/architectures, and am expected to be full stack.

The "improvements" I've been told to make is to document why stories are slow - mostly context switching from prod support, context switching from my role as ASC, and of course just being slow when working with a system or language that I haven't worked on in a while.

So my perspective based on the feedback is, this isn't a performance issue (if it was it would be under communication instead of speed). It solely addresses visibility of the switching. I have requested consistent work, like being full stack in a single stack. The whole point of specialization of labor is to increase speed and quality, yet it seems this management tenent is wholly missed by my organization. You want consistent speed? Give me consistent work.

The best part is I got a 4.5% pay cut, yet they say they want to retain me. All while the company is talking about across the board increases (which I won't be eligible for) and having trouble filling roles that typically stay open for 6 months. Which is it - do I suck, or do you want to keep me?
GitHub and VSCode both allow this (and I'm sure other rich editors do too). In fact, using GitLab at work, I open up most of the MRs I review in my local editor specifically for this reason
It's hard to tell since that English bit at the top is badly mangled machine translation - it couldn't figure out the inflected form of 'computer', translated 'machine' as 'car' and who knows what else. It doesn't say (as far as I can reverse-mangle) anything particularly interesting.
The article says the battery is split, with an LFP traction battery and another undefined battery to make up the "range extender" - presumably the bulk of the capacity. So I suspect they've got some sort of novel high capacity low discharge battery which keeps the regular LFP battery topped up, which then drives the car.
> Reloading the page for some reason loads me 1/3 down the page?

For some reason (probably related to the animation?) the page starts with a huge margin at the bottom which then slowly gets smaller and smaller.
Nomad can orchestrate any process, though it's commonly used with containers (Docker or otherwise). However using to to orchestrate VMs sounds like a poor fit.
> resource intensive

Resource intensive? I run Nomad on a bunch of Raspberry PIs at home, not sure what orchestrator is more lightweight than Nomad honestly.
This is fun and all, but I'm not sure why one would go to the effort to simulate so much of the CRT experience, but not force the window to be the right aspect ratio?
That's why you use managed solutions.

Could we be more careful about getting the capitalization right in headlines like this? "One gemini" not only reads different from "ONE Gemini" in English; it actually means something different.

This anecdote supports a theory I've been hearing about affirmative action harming excellent minority candidates.

It helps those who would've not made it otherwise, but for those who truly excel and would've made it either way; it diminishes their accomplishments in a way that's unfortunate.

It's not like affirmative action is a secret, the buyers in the labour market knows about it and will react accordingly.

In some ways, I guess it's similar to how people used to avoid buying cars made on a Monday.
It was using IPv6 in IP, just like 6to4, protocol 41.

I haven't heard it called a political issue before though. It just had problems, like being blocked in firewalls and security problems where the encapsulated packet wasn't checked properly, etc.
Just "splash and dash." Usually I just plug my Tesla into a supercharger, go to the bathroom, and then I have enough charge to make it where I'm going.
Training a state of the art model typically involves keeping a very large computer around at near 100% power load. Roughly about 10MW.

The actual limits on DL models (and any simulation or optimization) are: power density and the speed of light, plus the maximum amount of power you can deliver to the area. The speed of light limits how long your cables can be while still doing collective reductions, and the power density limits how much compute power you can fit per unit volume. One could imagine a fully liquid cooled supercomputer at 100MW (located near a very reliable and large power source) with optical fiber interconnect, this would completely change the state of the art in large models overnight.
I think the technical jargon (a mix of crypto, distributed systems, and finance) leads people to believe that what's going on in crypto is smarter than it is.

Being banned from a service is not an attempt to permanently deprive anyone of their livelihood. No one has ever starved to death in the street because their Twitter account was closed.
It's because of the undocumented and weird calls MS put into windows in part to thwart DR-DOS back in the day. (see also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AARD_code )

That said, work's happened to make FreeDOS boot windows 3 at least under special circumstances (I'm not sure if this kernel made it into the current FreeDOS or not): https://virtuallyfun.com/wordpress/2021/07/27/freedos-runnin...
Could people who do this talk a bit more about how the outgoing side works out? Is there a way to do this where I don't have to jump through hoops just to hit reply to a message & have it come from my custom domain?

Ideally, what I'm looking for:

* wildcard routing

* keep existing archive of mail

* easy to use (replies make sense on mobile and web interface)

* not have to replace google identity (for YouTube prefs + 3rd party sign-ins)

There was this discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30104783 about how a gsuite account could be converted to a free one, which sounds like it could work with this, but I'm still unsure about how sending mail would work out.

The next best alternative I see is fastmail, but that saves me just $12/year + I have to do a lengthy export + I'm not sure how my google accounts will work out.
Nomad is not a "container orchestrator" but a "task orchestrator", whereas containers can be one type of tasks. Others include Fork/Exec, Java, Podman, QEMU, VMs and more (since it's easily extended). Checkout the full list here: https://www.nomadproject.io/docs/drivers

My personal favorite is using the Firecracker driver for running Linux microvms.
It well and truly sucks to be a pig.
Same with “premature optimization”. Many things can be fixed later. Some can’t or won’t, and those typically get ignored or relabeled as “good design” when it is still ultimately minmaxing cpu time versus developer brain cells.
The reason I chose it was because they have email snoozing which I found hugely useful in Inbox and I wanted to get away from using Google, so I switched. Never looked back since.
Works fine for me so far. From memory (like 7 years ago) gmail’s filtering rules are more powerful, but iCloud has the basics at least
Externally the clear is not who is in power but the change one can see at least during the transition. Only 100 days as said and then back to dynamics, one may say. But is it really so in real life.
For those who are curious, consciousness is an epiphenomenon (an emergenty property of brains), while neural spikes are just physics.

I'm always very wary of those. Once you buy it, they have no financial incentive to care at all what kind of service you get.

Yes, it does however:

> Lifetime means the lifetime of MXroute. If every other customer cancels service, no one orders any further service, and only lifetime services remain, then it’s obvious MXroute is nearing it’s end. There’s absolutely no reason for us to plan for that scenario or to act as though it’s an inevitable future. In no way is that a reasonable situation, we’ll always be competitive and creative to keep earning your business. But even if that situation occurs 10 years down the road, won’t you have gotten a pretty sweet deal that beats our regular price offers?

Billie has 50M monthly views, more than 5x their combined monthly views so that would definitely matter.

Don't give up.

The best thing you can do is to get a handle on your past: read about trauma (The Body Keeps the Score, by Bessel Van Der Kolk), and try to connect with a trauma therapist.

Trauma often manifests itself in physical symptoms. There are paths that lead to healing...

There is hope, there are people who will understand, and you deserve it.
I want to show an example of what I mean. News: "Wow look how that tachyon beam exceeded speed of light!"

Commenters: "So are humans going to be able to travel FTL? Let's talk about that hypothetical for 200 comments!"

Completely ignoring physics. Everything must be human centric, everything must be dumbed down and anthropomorphised and become absolutely boring to the core until there is no more low hanging fruit left to pick.
Perhaps state/federal assistance, benefits, and investment should also be proportional to tax revenue as well.

Don't want to pay taxes? Fine, you're on your own. Rural areas receive all kinds of investment and subsidies that far exceed their contribution in taxes. Fortunately for everybody, things don't work that way.

Consider California, who's GDP would rank it among most countries. Most of the economic activity in the state is concentrated in the large, coastal cities. This generates massive amounts of state and federal taxes that rural areas ultimately benefit from.

Cities pay for your rural lifestyle. You're welcome. No need to thank us, we're all in this together.
I was marked as inconsistent.
“Just”. I guess that shows how accepted this kind of mutilation is.
These are called wedge issues and are a favorite tool of the oligarchs to control both parties. I've long advocated for a third party aiming to take away the supermajority and force others to the table (peoples party!), but one of the biggest hurdles is how to address those wedge issues with getting sucked into the black hole of conversation they create.

Lesser of two evils is still evil, and its probably questionable if its actually lesser.

I don't get all the pseudo-lawyering. The firmware in your toaster is closed source too and you can't modify it either, yet that appliance doesn't get the same scrutiny?

If you think: phone has CPU, memory and storage, thus it is a computer and I need to have the same "access" as a 1990's PC, then yes, the whole world might as well be burning right now. But if you take it for the appliance that it is, are you really surprised it works the way it does?

If you are so worried about 'rights', where do you draw the line? (pun incoming) your modem, CMTS/CPE/ODN are all closed, crypto-sealed and inseparable hardware+software as well, as is the core router your packets flow through, the TCON board in your flat screen monitor and the microcontroller in your USB charger. Get a CPU from Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, TI, Nvidia, MediaTek, Rockchip etc., get a sealed boot loader that is cryptographically tied to the chip and the chip manufacturer. Heck, to get that sealed stuff as an ODM you sign so many NDAs it might as well be an appliance in itself.

The days that you bought some end-user high-level hardware and had control over the stack are gone. Not because it can't be done differently, but because it's not viable. Even framework is having a hard time (as are Purism and System76) getting any true 'open' system. Not even a libreboot/coreboot system is actually unencumbered if you use any hardware from the last 5 years. People want a whole bunch of things, but the scale simply isn't there to carry the cost.

Ironically, all of this stems from lawyering from the corporate side.
If you have to import food to feed your people, you are not an independent nation. You are a vassal state of whoever is feeding you. That's why countries protect their agricultural sector. It's why when you cross over into Canada from the US, the landscape quickly changes to agricultural as what's often considered marginal to poor farmland in the US is considered prime ag land in Canada since they want to grow as much of their own food as possible. Agriculture is what makes civilization possible, not the other way around. Farmers can exist just fine if cities disappeared. Cities cannot say the inverse.
Awesome!

Maybe you'll like this better method then: Bayesian counterfactual time-series analysis [1]. In essence, it compares a "neutral" time series and another one affected by a natural experiment and produces bayesian point-estimates for the causal impact.

Super powerful, there's a great R package, and really easy to use.

I think it would be better to say something like, "paranoia is an epiphenomenon," when nobody knows what consciousness is.
That’s not the point. Once you have “enough” to meet your basic life needs - food, shelter, transportation - then you start making other choices.

I am sure I could give up my big house in the burbs and my wife and I could stay with another couple. But do you think I would make that choice?

On another related note, you saw the same thing with school bus drivers after Covid (my wife was one). No amount of money in the world was going to convince many bus drivers who didn’t really need the extra money to risk Covid to drive the bus. Many of them were just doing it for extra money.

Anyone could have more money saved if they found a roommate. But at some point we decide it’s not worth the trade off.
