I was mostly referring to 53' trailers that go into outer boroughs illegally, and then get shipped in by smaller trucks into Manhattan. Manhattan is still benefitting from these illegal trailers even when they don't go into Manhattan. I'd venture a great deal of goods in Manhattan come in this way.

Basically all your examples of cities involve places where the nation's trucking industry expects their major cities and a large portion of the populace (or in HK case, basically the entire territory) to require these shorter trailers. This isn't comparable to the situation in the US, and the result is that for pragmatic reasons NYPD have turned a blind eye to a poorly workable regulation. And it becomes doubly unpragmatic when we already in a situation where trucker drivers are scarce even before having to split their approach in two (travel NYC compliant, or travel rest of nation compliant).

Dead Cells is one of my favorite games but I would agree it's too grindy. In my opinion the game can be even more addicting by speeding up the rate at which the player unlocks new weapons.

I started enjoying the game a lot more after installing a mod that makes things drop more cells.

Edit: I forgot to mention that I don't think it's a dark pattern, just a relatively poorly balanced mechanic.

> With good software... Pis are rock solid.

The hardware is crap. The broadcom chips they use are cheap pieces of crap. The watchdog timer doesn't work. They have a tendency to corrupt microsd cards. Power filtering is bad. Remember this? https://www.theverge.com/2015/2/10/8010457/raspberry-pi-2-cr... There have been any number of issues, over and over again. Maybe they've improved some in the last couple of years but my time is too valuable to continue to waste dealing with these pieces of junk.

> Somehow there's this idea that the Sars-CoV-2 vaccines need to prevent infection or symptomatic disease but that is an incredibly high bar that no respiratory viral vaccine has ever met.

In the U.S., health experts explicitly said the vaccines totally prevent symptoms and infection. The health experts said the vaccines were 100% efficacious, and this fact was repeated in the media and by leadership for months. As recently as seven months ago, they were still saying this.
> Why would something that supposedly doesn't assign collective blame based on skin color make all white students uncomfortable?

The factual history of slavery and discrimination in the US (as promulgated against minorities by non-minorities) could cause white students discomfort on the basis of their race, and would thereby be illegal under Florida's bill.

Actual critical race theory is irrelevant in this discussion. The legislation being pushed here has nothing to do with it, beyond using it as a convenient negative label for literally anything relating to historical and modern racism.
Right on! Imagine if the web served up content and I could write my own processors for it to lay it out however I want...man, that'd be great.

But the Web became about branding the moment they introduced images and font choices. I remember designing a website for my local skate rink in 1997 that had a left navbar with buttons I did in photoshop and cut-n-paste javascript to add a lens flare when you moused-over them. Haha! Suh-weet.

Oh boy! Where do we even begin?

Let's start out with what the article spends the most time on: licensing.

This is a giant self-own and a very long winded way of saying "Linux will ignore the best implementation of a thing because we/they don't like the license."

That's a choice, not a law of the universe. It's perhaps also a canonical example of spite-induced nose cutting.

Let's see... other things... oh! Suggesting mdadm is better than well... anything... is a giant red flag to me. No thanks.

Dismissing checksums as unnecessary? Okay, now I think they're just trolling. Years of running ZFS teach you that bits flip, a lot... and you have no realistic recourse without block level checksums.
My, and this goes for everyone, freedom is indeed precious.
That drama has ended, he was demoted from dictator. Now things are chugging along with multiple contributors like most other projects.

For me Void seems like a very good distro, I think of it as a naked kernel with runnit init and xbps as the package manager, nothing gets in the way. It also has the nice property where the git repo is the distro in every sense.
Why not use an experimental filesystem with functionally zero real world usage that isn't in the upstream kernel and has exactly one full time developer working on it?

I love the ideas behind bcachefs but suggesting it's anywhere close to being ready for primetime is just silly.
speaking of OS 9, windowshade was so great.
> File-based RAID offers the promise of having to do less work and avoiding RAIDing the empty space, but in practice it is outweighed significantly by this difference.

Citation needed. I've found ZFS recovers faster and is more usable in degraded mode than an equivalent mdadm raid.

> Buggy

Compared to what? ZFS has a better record of not losing data than anything else, mdadm and ext4 included. Having a large number of bugs in your bug tracker is a poor measure of how buggy your system is.

> Scrubbing simply needs to read every file from the disk so the RAID layer notices and repairs a URE. You can simply put cat /dev/array > /dev/null on cron once a month which is enough for mdadm to notice and repair UREs.

If you do that it will swamp your disks and make that filesystem system unusable once a month, and it will take longer than it should to notice UREs. And if you reinstall your OS you will probably forget to set it up again and not notice until you have a disk failure and lose all your data.

> Checksumming is usually not worthwhile - the physical disk already has CRC checksums at the SATA level, and if you are paranoid you should also have ECC ram to prevent integrity issues in-memory (applies to ZFS too), and this should be enough. But you can easily get this if you want, either at the block layer with dm-integrity (integritysetup) below your disk or btrfs does it automatically.

Checksumming is essential to having a rebuild process that actually works. With mdadm when you rebuild you will probably get silent corrupt data in a couple of files because anything that went bad since your last scrub (if your scrub setup is even working) will not be detectable.

> btrfs does it automatically.

btrfs doesn't have stable support for raid-like modes, and has exactly the same kind of vertical integration that this author doesn't like about ZFS.

ZFS was the thing that convinced me that layering isn't actually always great and sometimes vertical integration makes sense. The file-level RAID is a lot nicer to work with in practice. The integrated tooling is a lot nicer to work with in practice than having to manage the md, lvm, and filesystem parts separately. I believe the out-of-tree thing might be an issue for Linux, which is part of why I'm much happier running FreeBSD.
I (loosely) know plenty of people who fly the confederate flag -- they're all awful shitty racists. Including some of my family members. They all claim it's for heritage reasons as well (which is weird because we're in "the north").

The rest of your post was some anecdotal observation that you've never seen a Gadsden flag next to a confederate one.

Here's the Gadsden flown by secessionists in Civil War Georgia fighting to maintain and expand slavery: https://www.nps.gov/articles/000/images/Dontreadonme.jpg?max...

Here's the Alabama secession flag (which they flew because they wanted to keep slavery): https://archives.alabama.gov/images/noliflag.gif

In fact, the Gadsden symbol was so ubiquitous as a symbol of maintaning slavery, they had political 'cartoons' of Eagles dismembering snakes in Union papers: https://repository.library.georgetown.edu/bitstream/handle/1...

It actually made it into the Battle Hymn of the Republic as well,

Why is it based on breaker/fuse size? Surely the cost should be based on cost of maintenance over the entire grid over the last year divided by the amount of customers using the grid?
Solving this for audio has almost absolutely nothing to do with solving it for video (other than that the detection algorithm will be the same).

Editing audio to deal with "silent sections" is nothing like editing the video for the corresponding sections.

Dishonest article. It claims, falsely, that "a Tennessee school board voted to ban the book."

But the book was not banned; it was simply removed from the curriculum. The board even suggested adding it back if they couldn't find an alternative they preferred.

According to the minutes of the 2022-01-10 McMinn County Board of Education meeting [1]:

> Jonathan Pierce: My motion was to remove this particular book from our curriculum and that if possible, find a book that will supplement the one there.

> ...

> Rob Shamblin: At that point if it’s been removed, it could be added back if there is no better alternative, I assume? I don’t know what it’s going to take to find an alternative.

The motion passed unanimously (10-0).

i really like the idea of automating the first one - sort of solves for not needing room noise as a bridging mechanism. i think we'll try this!

I'm not a DVC user so I'll speak for what I've seen in the documentation and the couple examples I ran a while ago. DVC's core is data versioning and the pipeline features are an extension to it. The main difference is that DVC's pipeline feature is agnostic: you define the command, inputs and outputs, and DVC executes pipeline. On the other hand, Ploomber has a deeper integration between your code and the pipeline. For example, our SQL integration allows you to tell Ploomber how to connect to a database and then list a bunch of SQL files as stages in your pipeline (example: https://github.com/ploomber/projects/blob/master/templates/s...), this reduces the boilerplate a lot since you only have to write SQL, if you wanted to do the same thing with DVC, you'd have to manage the connections and create bash scripts to submit the queries.

The other important difference is that AFAIK, DVC can only run your pipelines locally, and Ploomber can export your pipelines to run in other environments like (Kubernetes, Airflow, AWS, SLURM, Kubeflow), this allows you to run experiments locally but easily move to a distributed environment when you need to train models at a larger scale or want to deploy an ML pipeline.
I don't think so, for a few reasons:

- My primary need for it is on my backup box, which does "rsync --inplace" to keep small changes to large files from completely creating a new copy of that file every backup run. Hardlinks would cause all of those to compete if some previously similar file started getting updated (OS updates or similar starting files that then diverge.

- Each system gets it's own ZFS, so I can snapshot them at the end of the backup, keep different retention times, etc. But I can't hardlink across filesystems, I don't think.

The linked article did mention increasing dedup block size, which might help. If I could even cut down the DDT by half, that would make it more doable.
We have several silence-trimming operations in Ardour. There's no live preview with a slider because generalized to N tracks where N could theoretically be in the hundreds, that is hellaciously expensive. However, since you can undo/redo trivially when working with metadata instead of actual audio, it doesn't seem like much of an impediment.
Yes, but the proposed interconnect rates include a monthly fee if you connect to the grid. The fee is approximately 100% the price of the panels, spread out over 30 years.

I'll hopefully be grandfathered in for 20 years, but after that, I plan to just stop paying my electric bill. I imagine such "cord cutting" for new installs will become more common.

As a middle ground, I might just opt out of net metering, and pay for gross usage and the line connection. That forces PG&E to take the electrons, which at least screws over the natural gas peaker plants they're building out.

However, if current equipment price trends continue it will only make sense to do that out of charity/spite.

"Git aging workload on btrfs on HDD. The overall slowdown is 20.6x."

Well, this article is fascinating, but maybe the reason why btrfs has built-in defrag functionality is because without it, performance degrades incredibly steeply?
I talked about this recently, and I was reminded of the Blackhawk War.

I have read Blackhawk's memoirs, because it's such a part of my community, but nobody knows it.

There were extenuating circumstances (the British gun-running down the Mississipi).

U.S. forces suffered important defeats (Campbell's Island, and the Battle of Credit Island that humbled future president Zachary Taylor.)

I learned from another source that Blackhawk had a favorite teacup in his preferred trader's house (George Davenport), prior to his revolt.

Are we truly clean to judge?

In general I agree with you about the ability to customize Linux, but the author could be referring to systemd, which (from what I've seen) has been the target of many complaints about being too central and hard to replace, especially with how it is required by so many projects in the Linux ecosystem (from distros like Debian and Arch to DEs like GNOME).
I didn't consider the effects of goroutines, but it's pretty common that JITs that have to emit precise stackmaps simply don't use callee-saved registers, so it doesn't seem any harder to make goroutine stacks first-class. But the detail is in the details, always.

There was an article on HN the other day that suggested that (and I'm paraphrasing) "only failed products have settings".

We hear a lot about simplicity and how it's easier to study users and optimize for desired outcomes: conversions, upsells, continued use, whatever. Having a simple product nudges the user in the direction you want them to go and makes your product intuitive.

I think there's another reason for simplicity: incompetence. Your team doesn't care enough about the product that they're actually using it. There are no in house power users. They're not making it for themselves, so they simply do not care. They're there to finish the Jira tickets and shovel out a Fischer Price product that meets the requirements doc.

You can tell which software was created by power users. Vim. Linux. Blender.

Nice link. I appreciate that page, actually. Hadn't seen it.

However, this is with all of the interventions, plus vaccines in. It's with the curve flattened as much as all of the interventions allowed.

What you don't have is the counterfactual of what would have happened with no intervention of a highly contagious air-borne virus, and a matching health care collapse. In the beginning we were closer to 1% and higher in some places. This is US stats, where people have access to higher quality healthcare than much of the world (and vaccines), plus mixed interventions (since local/state dictated much of that).

We could all pass around something closer to the notion of pure data (JSON, plug for EDN) but we don’t. Even when we could. Maybe we should more? I don’t find “companies make us do otherwise” to be a compelling answer of why we’re not. Even in spaces where that isn’t a constraint it doesn’t happen much.

> There might be a rich marketplace of both free and paid experiences that I could download and install into my browser.

To what extent would you vs the author control these experiences? The author may express their freedom by giving different experiences to different people based on how we respond. Then we’re back where we are.

There’s a bit of a freedom vibe through this whole conversation, but there’s also a strong element of control. It’s a “my house my rules”, libertarian, property owner, “you’re free to do whatever I want” vibe.

The author’s analogy of a company painting their walls seems off. It seems more like a wall that paints itself. And since this criticism is going against software I wouldn’t call critical infrastructure, it’s more like an invited house guest that isn’t singing the songs you want.

I bought a giant solar array this fall and finally got it activated last month. The initial way I thought "net metering" would work was:

If we buy & consume 2000kWh but then produce and sell back 2000kWh, then the total bill should be near-zero.

That's not even close.

When we buy power, we pay $0.115/kWh but when we produce excess power, they only buy it at $0.027/kWh.

Therefore, they bill us for $230 (0.115 * 2000) and credit us $54 (0.027 * 2000) so our bill is still ~$176. In order to zero out our bill, we have to sell back 4.25x more than we consume.
None of that is true.

Stealth for jets isn't primarily designed for plan view. (Referring to radar cross section isn't just a generic use of the term for "detectable area of return".)

Even if it was stealthy from above, it would be easy to identify and defeat, especially on the ground: just look for the plane-shaped area without a ground return.

Or separately, a pair of co-orbital following satellites would entirely defeat all (publicly known) radar stealth (with the transmitter offset from the receiver). The US admittedly has similar pairs of these for "scientific purposes". I assume the military/IC have access or have their own.

And synthetic aperture radar can be disguised such that its nearly indistinguishable from background noise. It's one of the features that makes it superior to old school dish radar. That's not even a secret. It's currently deployed throughout the military: ground, sea, and air. Space based platforms probably had it first.
Ideabox's cheapest home is a 780 sq ft 1BR for $230K. According to their cost estimate, the total cost would be $420k. This seems over-priced. Pre-fab homes should be cheaper than custom-built homes. A new home of that size will not cost $400k in Wyoming or Kansas.
The same goes for Mexico and probably you could apply this for the rest of LATAM, too.

The thing is that you need to get used to live in a bit of a disorder. I still cannot get used to it sometimes.

Anyway, if you want to live in a "first world country", I cannot recommend Czech Republic enough. It's modern, super safe and still cheap. Plus we definitely need a bit more of diversity there.
My property (rural acreage an hour north of SF) burned twice in the last two years. Black hills everywhere. But looking around now you'd never notice.

Whether or not your home burns makes a huge difference. PG&E had the poles replaced in a week. If you've cut and mowed defensible space, your house will be fine and life goes on like normal. The problem is, folks love their tree-shaded homes and love building at the tops of ridges.

At least in my district, mandatory evacuation is not actually mandatory and (I say this as a firefighter) we aren't going to force you off your property. Especially if it looks like you're prepared. But you really need to be prepared. It's not hopeless - you really can make a huge difference but you have to put the work in long before the fire arrives.
