Sounds to me it’s more like a legacy artifact, with codepaths which much be tested and maintained, and the decision was made to get rid of it.

It’s interesting as I always considered Kubernetes very enterprise-focused. I wonder what the impact will be in terms of adoption of the new kubernetes version.
Please stop spreading the panic and hysteria. Even in such a neutral and curious manner.

It is exactly the goal of russian politicians’ manipulations — more and more people talking about it and hence afraid.

Just like terrorists’ main goal is not blowing buildings and people, but raising awareness of their cause through the roof.

The only war that is already going on is an informational war.

And such a post is a tiny battle of this war, lost to russian propaganda machine.
Is that documented anywhere?

I've been using Nix for about 6 years now, and have mostly been using `nix-env -iA`, `nix-env -qaP --description` and `nix-env -e` the whole time.
I just did the vouch that got you unflagged enough that I can comment. It’s a pissy remark, but I’ve done plenty of that myself, and frankly you’re not completely wrong.

Ive got my knickers a bit twisted that looking like a jock seems to produce more recognition than actually being a nerd. And if I feel like my accomplishments kind of sit in the shadow of my appearance or demographics or whatever, it must be 100x worse for some people, which sucks ass and is kinda depressing.

Code should talk, and bullshit should walk.
I think that se size of RJ 45 is the limiting factor. Othervize 8 parallel wires would do the trick.
Thanks - Twitter UI is terrible.

I'm glad the terrible "defer" suggestion didn't make it, but unfortunate that they didn't standardise the existing and widely used attribute cleanup.
> Whenever some NodeJS or Python project is mentioned, I've never seen the complaint "NodeJS syntax is too hard" or "Python syntax is too hard".

Because their syntax is used for more than just configuration (if it's used for configuration). These are full programming languages that a lot of people know and understand.

Nix on the other hand is a DSL that is used in exactly one place: nix configuration. So I think it's fair to complain about nix-as-a-language and its syntax when the only place you will ever encounter it is nix configuration.

And especially with gems like

Attempting to perform division in Nix can lead to some surprises.

nix-repl> 6/3

/home/nix/6/3

What happened? Recall that Nix is not a general purpose language, it's a domain-specific language for writing packages. Integer division isn't actually that useful when writing package expressions. Nix parsed 6/3 as a relative path to the current directory. To get Nix to perform division instead, leave a space after the /. Alternatively, you can use builtins.div.

nix-repl> 6/ 3

nix-repl> builtins.div 6 3

Does unleashing Facebook and Twitter and Instagram on the world count as offensive capability? I think America is winning in that theater. What about Windows 11 — surely a crippling blow to the enemies of the West.
We would breed them to be comfortable with our having made decisions about their genetics.

Where by "we" I mean the plutocrats who make decisions about how each of us lives now, the Peter Thiels, the Vladimir Putins, the Xis, the Bill Gateses, the Kochs, the Morgans, the Stanleys, the Goldmans and the Sachses.

I'm glad your experience wasn't too bad but it isn't always so. The Austrian state practically terrorised some activists here for years destroying their lives and almost completely got away with it until German reporters wrote about it and helped shine a light on the abuses of power. These activists didn't even do anything illegal they just annoyed some powerful and connected individuals.

Sorry this is only in German but maybe you can find English sources about it

Prior to being acquired by Microsoft, github did not require two-factor authentication. You could either use a password or a public key.
I agree with your point generally, but this is project management software we are talking here. It’s not like this is a year old product you’re betting on. Dude even Asana has been out for like 10 years.

I will state this plainly. It’s laziness. He knows how to use Jira and doesn’t want to spend time learning a new tool. There is no risk involved with these anymore. It’s not a risk, it’s effort.

Using Jira is a form of organizational debt. He didn’t want to put in the work up front to set up something better because he knew Jira already, which is fine. But everyone on the engineering team pays the price every day now because Jira is awful. You have to decide, is it worth spending 10 hours on the weekend learning Linear or do I make my whole organization suffer? He chose the former. But it’s not a risk mitigation thing. It’s a time trade-off thing.
In the document I don’t see how they plan to avoid this being used as storage for persistent evercookies.
Sure, I'm certainly not arguing that C is a good language. In RHEL we turn all warnings on, compile everything with hardening flags, use valgrind during development, and feed everything through Coverity.
When somebody got a telescope that could, they found there were way more sources of infrared radiation than visible stars.
Yes, I’t a matter of perspective I guess.

Having managed many thousands of hosts over the years, I’ve longed for something like nixos.
Managing largeish scale infra is not what I do these days, but nixos still appeals to me, and I use it for a few pi’s, a nas and my workstation.

I’ve never tinkered less with my machines, and I love it.

With nixos ad-hoc tinkering is not “the way”, and using a shell.nix for different project folders is just awesome.
I imagine this could help scale dev teams as well.

Its not about whether you can or cannot handle information.

The problem is that this information is not yours. There is an intermediary. There are the companies involved and the governance structure.

So, if the governance structure creates a rule that all watches should report to the government when there is a potential medical emergency, and even that you should be isolated and kept locked in - what can you do about it?

So, this is good information, but information in a different set of hands can be used against your interests.

Then you get into the idea that the government is here to help. I disagree. I think the government is here to govern, and that it acts against me in many ways even though I am doing nothing wrong.

Is it ok for me to have a different perspective? Must I accept the government constraints and the (self-serving) laws it writes? To statist (those who believe in the political paradigm on both the blue and red teams) I should apparently accept government dictats.

People seem to forget that everything the Nazis (National Socialists) did was legal too. A government (which is made up of people like you and I, only the seek power over others) can write appalling laws into the statute.

Anyway, it is naive to think that this is about information. This is another incremental step towards tyranny.
As far as I'm aware, the only way to run a game on an iPad is through the Apple store. The company did not want to publish their educational games through the store because they were only to be available to students of the company.

Thank you! Works very well.
Why do you think that there would be no war? With the actions of the separatists, and the new false flag operations, it seems increasingly likely.
Yup. I can scarcely believe this business model works on a campus. At that age, I don't think there's anything that would have stopped me from taking one of these, eating the food, then taking it apart to see how it works. Then mounting the carcas on the wall, trophy-style.
Looking for Dyson spheres wouldn't reveal them, because any extraterrestrial civilization sophisticated enough to make one wouldn't need it or want it.
Yeah it's often for keeping the microwave clean but my mom is an example of someone that thinks it also blocks radiation.

It's not as common as other microwave myths but it's a thing.
Being a more cto type of guy myself, i have similar experience of finding a decent ceo cofounder.

Most of the people i’ve met have no experience in the domain, neither marketing skills or quality vision that would motivate you.
The introduction to the article says:

"The observational signatures of such “Dyson spheres” include waste-heat from the absorbing sphere, obscured di￾rect star light (resulting in both an apparently underluminous star and potential temporal variations in brightness) and the effects of feedback on the properties of the star from the surrounding sphere."

So there are ways to distinguish probable Dyson spheres from the majority of these natural infrared sources.

Most importantly, they only need to pay ~$27/hr immediately.

This seems OK at first, as it is above the ~$25/hr minimum wage for casuals (note to non-Aussies: this figure includes a 25% "casual loading" to account for the fact that there is no sick leave, annual leave or guaranteed minimum hours).

However, this doesn't consider the fact that the drivers supply their own vehicle as well as out-of-pocket expenses for fuel, maintenance and general depreciation on the vehicle itself. When you take these additional costs into consideration, that initial ~$27 looks closer to an illegally low ~$20/hr.

The fact that they were both unpunished for finding loopholes in employment law as well as given a free pass to continue for another 3 years (despite literally being Amazon and therefore having the working capital to pay their drivers properly immediately) looks like it's a win for them.
I'm not objecting to quoting; I do it even when the variable contains, or should contain, a number.

I was objecting to the knee jerk inclusion of warnings against file names including newlines. Has anyone encountered one in the wild that was not itself an error?
I work with kids aged 6 to 10 and labelled "Gifted and Talented", and plenty of them use language like that. They've been exposed to it in context, and know what it means.

Most of these kids also know when to use it, and when not to use it. They know that there are adults around them who are intimidated when they use sophisticated language and sophisticated reasoning. I know plenty of teachers who deny that the kids will use language like that, and I think it's because those kids have learned as a survival mechanism to "play dumb" and behave to expectation.

Maybe it was just parroting, but you can't know that.
lots of slippery-slope-type ideas come to mind, including time-limited subscriptions that weren’t mentioned in the article

i think that environmental/ recycling/ reusage argument can be a good basis for a campaign for a blanket ban against any such measures in any customer electronics. it seems like a very important battle
While not Rust, there are definitely Python implementations in safe languages, namely Python itself, Java and .NET.
I think part of the difference here is that you see ads at all. Most of us who hate tracking block ads completely so it's not a choice between relevant ads or irrelevant ones. Either way we don't see them so limiting tracking has no downsides.

But I would especially hate ads showing up in my mailbox. I pay for O365 business so they don't, but if they did I would drop the service immediately. Spam is a big problem and artificially adding ads on top of all that makes it even bigger.
I think they should, but then the 200k should be treated like total compensation pre-tax and everything.

We already have infrared telescopes. There are literally billions of infrared sources already known in the immediate neighborhood. I promise you none of them are Dyson spheres.

The exception that confirms the rule.
Always have to comment on the meme Dyson spheres posts with the following: has anyone ever thought, for one second, that a civilization capable of building these massive energy systems would actually be capable of generating energy in other different ways that we can't even imagine? This whole "Type I, II, III" civilization crap is stupid because it is based off one paper, of one guy, who had a creative idea. Props to him for the creativity, but millions of scientists every day have possibly creative ideas about space fairing civilizations. Its like sci-fi novels creeped into real science. Literally ape brain to just "wrap a star and capture its energy!"

I think most people "like" the idea because it's so tangible. But that doesn't make it any more or less likely that it actually exists or makes sense.
They can order people what not to put on their web site. Unless they put in a notice. Just like in the US, where if you advertise sports betting, you have to point at the hotlines.
Can you give a ballpark figure? I can’t even begin to imagine how much that costs.
I dunno, me and the wife realised that certain foods are simply not worth the calorie count. Really nice curry vs Pizza? The curry wins on taste, nutrition and calories. Chocolate bar vs chocolate-chip brioche? If I'm honest, id prefer the brioche (warmed a little, with a cup of decent coffee). It also affected ingredient choices: if I'm gonna make an Indian dish like palak paneer, I find it impossible to get low-fat paneer. However I can get low-fat halloumi (lots of protein), and if it's cooked right, it works extremely well in place of paneer. Over 6 months using a calorie counting app we got to our "perfect weight" without having to go hungry. In fact, if anything, it just made me stop and think before having second helpings and overeating. So now we have "free meals" in the freezer, for when we want a lazy evening.

On the low fat halloumi vs paneer thing... We also found that low-fat soft cheese (like Philadelphia light) are amazing in soups. Simmer lentils and cubed potatoes with some spices and a can of chopped tomatoes, and just before you serve, add a large dollop of light Philadelphia and stir it all the way in. Boosts the protein content and makes for a really creamy soup. Also works great in other soups.
It'll still be there, but the symlink will go from your path. The nice thing is that if you open another shell and use it again, it's already there, and the symlink is reestablished. If you want it installed globally then it's still there and it just gets added to your path.

If you start to run our of disk space, then a quick garbage collection will remove all unused packages and builds.

The other nice thing about the nix-shell is I can incorporate pip into it (and probably other package managers as well, though I rarely use anything other than Python). So I can open a shell, add various lib type dependencies and any Python packages I want. All of it is only available in the shell, and when I exit they're gone as far as my OS is concerned.

You could clone a repo that contained my default.nix file, jump into a shell and be working with and identical environment to mine.

I have no idea why everyone isn't using NixOS.
Legacy artifact that has been in production around the world in thousands (if not millions) of nodes.
Pretty disheartening to see.
That would depend on somebody, anybody seeing any reason to build so much as one of them.

You might imagine a playful civilization building one next-system-over to fool planet-bound hicks who actually still believe they are a good idea. The hicks restructure their whole civilization to be able to mount a trip to visit it, and when they arrive find it is all just a mock-up.
I'm right here with you, love the haters too that downvote you. The real takeaway is simply this: we don't (and can't) KNOW what type of energy advanced civilizations will have (and we might not even be able to understand it if we saw it!), and collective scientific time is much better spent on things that we DO know, like searching for bio markers similar to earth.
Same here. I have a separate PC for gaming.

What makes a good PC for daily work is also very different from what makes a good having PC. My daily driver is a quiet and energy efficient NUC. My gaming PC is quite noisy with its 3080Ti..

I'm sure I can bring noise levels down with expensive fans but consumption will remain higher. This way I don't have to as I always game with a headset on anyway.

> I was rightfully imprisoned in Dubai, which is very rare to admit, I was drunk on a public beach and kissing my girlfriend in Ramadan, in jail for 24 hours

Many western people think they can just go anywhere and expect laws to work the same as they do at home. I would not go to a country with such insanity but if you do, observe the local laws and customs. They don’t put up 100s of scary posters at the Thai border for nothing for instance, tourists seem to blatantly break these religious rules and they will face consequences. Same with a lot of Middle East, African and Asian countries. Just do your research or simply do not go; it is not like Europe or the US, although of course for most people it feels like it because they don’t get caught (by pure luck; I doubt most holidaying for a week in Dubai know about this) when they kiss on Ramadan.
I was irked by the exact example you picked. I think it could have been solved with:

"Her hand shakes so much she can't do sign language."

But most other paragraphs were imho more relaxing and easy to parse. I remember in university when we were (literature as well as history department) trained to write "scientifically" (meaning complex, riddled with foreign words, preposterous). I understand the value of technical terms and words with very clear and specific meaning to a field. But the rest was superfluous BS to signify the belonging to the intellectual caste.

But maybe that is typical for German universities. I don't know.
I used Arch for a long time but I always find that I couldn't keep a consistent configuration across multiple machines. The machine I used most often would quickly grow numerous augmentations and changes that I would be missing on my laptop and desktop. There are tools like etckeeper and numerous dotfile managers but most lacked the capability to recognize the machine's state/hardware (e.g. laptop, desktop, server, etc.) or only managed dotfiles but not /etc.

Overtime the best configuration tended to be just using the defaults because getting used to a tmux.conf on one machine would just become an annoyance one I was on a machine without it. (Plus now you need to use about 12 different configuration languages :))

A huge advantage Nix has over any other configuration tool is that is a single source of truth. A normal dotfiles repo doesn't know anything about the actual programs or OS so it's very easy for it to become incompatible with a machine's actual state.

On Nix, tools like home-manager [1] especially when used in a flake-template like devos [2] just solves this problem really well. It's very easy to make a change, switch to the new configuration, and then commit the change. Managing bespoke services and scripts is very easy because one file in Nix can create a service with a script's contents, create a user, install necessary packages, etc.

I think (desktop) Linux is partly a niche market because the management can be very complex. Nix is certainly very complex itself but its structured enough that it can create very simple systems. There are already several NixOS based OS's that are basically just configuration templates. I could certainly see a more user-friendly distro being released using Nix as the foundation.

Accuracy is almost never the right statistic. Here, profitability is. As soon as you realise the target statistic applies a human-goal-value-weighting to the prediction outcomes, it should be easier to see why ML systems are often unsuited to the task they're set.

Here, those 5% of cases are likely business-ending or business-making: precisely because they arent naively routine.
It basically garbage collects it (you can run it through a periodic service, or call it manually). You also have older versions intact, so you can simply change back to a previous version instantly.

Also, this is the only package manager where I could reliably install gnome and plasma, and have it removed to the last package - pacman and everything else will leave behind random files all around the place.

"since they’re not implementing the useful but dangerous part which is what people actually want."

I want it like this. There are lots of use cases for a file system to store user data locally in a safe way.

Even though it all can be also done with indexedDB, too - it makes this task incredibly more complicated. I did basically this, implement a file system on top of indexedDB - but with great pain.

and I did, because there was no other option - but only with great unnecessary pain.
