You should read Maus if you haven't already. It's an excellent book.

That panel comes from a short sequence in the book called Prisoner on Hell Planet. I first read Maus as a child (10 or 11 years old, so younger than 8th grade) and I found that whole sequence incredibly confronting. The characters are suddenly depicted as humans (the rest of the book they are anthropomorphic animals), the art style changes to become harsher and scarier, and it depicts the suicide of the artist's mother, including the author's last memory of her alive and his feelings of guilt over her death. When I read the book as a child that sequence stuck out to me as particularly graphic and disturbing, and on my subsequent readings I would skip it. I think it's a really important part of the book precisely because it's so jarring and intensely personal. I also think it's a great book to have in a school curriculum, but it doesn't surprise me that parents would complain.

What I found somewhat bemusing about the whole discussion in the meeting minutes was that it didn't focus on the content of the book that may disturb children, but rather on the occasional use of crude language and sexual discussions. One of the board members goes on a bizarre tangent about a poem which includes the line "The heavenly blisses of his kisses, fill me with ecstasy," and how one of the discussion questions for that poem is for children to define the word "ecstasy." He goes on to say:

> So, my problem is, it looks like the entire curriculum is developed to normalize sexuality, normalize nudity and normalize vulgar language. If I was trying to indoctrinate somebody’s kids, this is how I would do it. You put this stuff just enough on the edges, so the parents don’t catch it but the kids, they soak it in. I think we need to relook at the entire curriculum.

Which is such a weird thing to say in a discussion over whether a particular text is appropriate for a module on the Holocaust.

Pointing out that the author drew comics for Playboy is also a really weird thing to say when the nudity being discussed is an image of the author's dead mother.
The problem is that many companies rely heavily on China, either for supply, manufacturing or as a big lucrative market. South Africa wasn't nearly as important on any of those, so it was a much easier stance to make.

Developers will lower prices and/or spend more on development when costs decrease.
This is actually how I approach software development generally. I write the types as the first test(s). Despite claims to the contrary, this makes prototyping and experimenting really convenient, and I can use my type checker/IDE as a test runner without setting up any project config. It’s just… limited.
The thing people don't seem to appreciate/understand with go is the effects of using it in serverless and cloud native environments.

Every high throughput service I've had moved to GO has used a tiny amount of Memory and CPU compared to the implementation it replaced, typically nodejs, python, Scala and .net.

In a cloud world where it's usually boiled down to pay-per MB of in-process memory and per cycle... That can be 4-5 figures a month in reduced cloud cost for the same traffic.

Tiny output binaries are also very quick to transfer and spin up in serverless as well - often reducing costs further.

The benefits over time of essentially knowing things will get faster with each new version is really encouraging as well. Imagine your cloud bill went down over time as a result of simply rebuilding your service on newer golang core and redeploying.

> This isn’t the era of the open internet, and that doesn’t change with an open App Store either

I wasn’t throwing out a hypothetical when offering 3rd party clients as a solution to installing Google or FB’s stores. This is already what’s happened on Android. Rather than download official apps from Google Play one can install a community app store (F-Droid) and grab enhanced 3rd party clients there.

API control is rarely an issue aside from the fact that these unofficial clients tend to use said APIs in ways that violate the provider’s terms of service. As such the client apps violate the Google Play Store’s rules and must be sideloaded. This rule is also why 3rd party clients must be sideloaded on iOS.
That’s utter nonsense and you should stop spreading it.

I’ve had excellent luck with a MacBook Pro 13” running with that, about 3 miles 2x a day, for a couple of years. It fits very snugly in the laptop section and I haven’t had any issues. One thing I did was get a cheap laptop sleeve off Amazon to give an extra layer of protection. I got paranoid about sweat getting into he laptop after a couple multi-hour trail runs when I took the long way home.

The computer is provided by my employer though, so it’s their problem if anything goes wrong. Not sure I’d be as cavalier with a nice computer I paid for myself.
+1 for this. There is some upfront cost though around learning Golang. Writing idiomatic Golang code takes a bit of getting used to.

Are you suggesting that teaching children history is a bad idea? If so, why?

France managed to assimilate most of the different cultural groups that existed in its now borders ( Bretons, Occitans, Picards, etc. etc.).

zsysd is an Ubuntu daemon for managing ZFS things, not something OpenZFS provides.

They could be illegally transferring loads to smaller trucks in the expensive outer boroughs, or legally in Westchester and NJ where land is cheaper. It makes no difference to my point, which is:

There are almost no big trailers delivering goods to Manhattan. It works well, just like it works well all over the world. It allows people to move around more quickly and safely. It works well even though Manhattan is ~1% of the US population and doesn't dominate economically to the extent of some world cities. It's certainly not "unsafe" (?!) for the residents of Manhattan (a direct quote). I don't know what "unpragmatic" means when applied to a system that works.

Banning big trucks from places where there isn't room and they get in the way is great. I hope they ban them in more places. I hope they ban anything bigger than a Transit van. I hope they transfer enforcement to a less corrupt, lazy, anti-city/pro-suburb agency than the NYPD. In short: big trucks in cities suck. I'm done.

And there will be a long tail of death and shortened lives that haunt the entire generation of young people these public health policies fucked over. And the worse part is the spite, hatred, and bullying anybody who expressed any concern got.

You seem very knowledgeable about this. I'm a hobbyist who runs debian with a 6 drive raidz2 array in the basement. Hardware aside, do you have any housekeeping suggestions that will help me keep it running well?

My approach is a login script that tells me the health of my zpool. My crontab has a "0 2 * * 0 /sbin/zpool scrub tank" and 6 variants of "0 2 2 * * /usr/sbin/smartctl --test=long /dev/sda &> /dev/null". I've learned to resilver a dead drive recently, it's on a UPS, and I have automated iterative backups elsewhere for critical data that I've practiced restoring from to verify my solution works. Never had much luck with email alerts unless I want to get all of crontab's emails sent to me.
> "We hypothesize that evolution is influenced by two sources of information: External information that is natural selection, and internal information that is accumulated in the genome through the generations and impacts the origination of mutations,"

But how was that internal information accumulated? Through natural selection? Couldn't people in Africa have a higher rate of generating the HbS mutation de novo, because other parts of their parents genome encodes that information? Like when a zygote is getting spliced up you're more likely to get errors where HbS gene is in Africa because they've inherited another gene that causes those errors because of natural selection.

I don't understand the distinction they're making between "natural selection" and "internal information that is accumulated in the genome through the generations". To me that sounds the same. But perhaps I've been thinking about natural selection all wrong.

there should be a sort of 'right to algorithmic transparency'. Any service that personalizes content should give the user the control to either turn it off and just present data in some generic fashion, or let users introspect and change how they're being personalized. I'm pretty sure any large company already has tools for this internally anyway.

I've been using ZFS since circa 2008, but it's a tradeoff.

If I want no-worries and I don't want to be surprised by data loss, I use ZFS.
If I want speed with data I can afford to lose, I use something else (ufs, ext4, xfs, the right FS for the job).

ZFS's integrity checking won't do a dang thing for you if you're not paying attention, don't have monitoring, or don't even run its checks. Yes, I over-provision. Yes, I'll make the reliability vs performance tradeoffs (when it makes sense, usually reliability over performance by default though).

The great thing about having options is exactly that. For me, ZFS is the right choice in most cases. For other people it's not. Being able to make an informed choice and not being forced either way is a good thing.

Zealotry/religion has no place in matters like this when there are clear tradeoffs in all the alternatives.

Post quantum resilience feels like overkill for port numbers since they’re not secret (if it was you wouldn’t be able to connect). 32bit or even 64bit would be more than enough in terms of extending our current scheme. If you wanted to use a resistant collision hash of an arbitrary service string, 128 bits would also be enough and even 64 bits might be too (again - these aren’t secret so you’re only trying to avoid collisions and to resist port enumeration attacks).
A good example of this success, is the muslims of India today. A successive train of islamic invaders have forced multiple generations to take up the religion. Invaders raised towers of skulls of the "kafirs" they killed, and imposed "jizya" (a kafir-only tax) on generations of them. The result today is a large population of their descendants that is completely assimilated in islamic culture.
