Unfortunately I think we are stuck with Confluence. I don't have the sway to change software.

To help with finding things we are using a slightly modified implementation of the Johnny Decimal system (https://johnnydecimal.com). That's one of the news things I have implemented.

I like the idea about no orphaned articles, I think we have a few of those that need to be placed somewhere. Pointing out that responsibility thing is good, I'll have to make sure that we change our attitude a bit towards that.
I don't see any clear meaning to the term "anti-value" in this article.

It seems to imply that a "value" means "more". It does not. "Frugality" is a value of that is a behaviour deemed important to follow, it's not an "anti-value" (whatever that might mean).

Similarly, "move fast, break things" means you value action and risk-taking.

I was expecting "anti-value" to mean a behaviour deemed negative and to be avoided.
> It has worked pretty well for the last 2,500 years with voters possessing extremely questionable education. The main issue is whether a democracy has a culture of being graceful in both political victory and defeat.

Database sync like magic, with Svelte and Firestore
I'd say it's pretty obvious that would be the case. It's how a neural network or a "brain" in general has to work.

More remarkable is to actually find those neurons and differentiate them from all the others. Preferably without too much damage...
I was thinking about using https://obsidian.md with a shared file on Google Drive, but still didn't try it.
So.. what the f*** is Web 3.0?
That comment is about the semantics of OS APIs; filesystems are designed not to corrupt themselves in case of hard shutdown, and this is true as long as the underlying storage is well-behaved (e.g. honors flush requests). Databases on macOS already use F_FULLFSYNC (if they noticed this issue) to provide those guarantees. On Linux they just use fsync().
Does the narrator need to be involved in making edits, re-listen to recorded book, cutting and rearranging unwanted silences? Other than the occasional line redo if something is flubbed or off I don't see how that involves the narrator?
Now I’m confused, is this comment “I was not being sarcastic” actually sarcastic, and as such the original post as well?
I once (or twice (or possibly thrice)) made the USA coast-to-coast run. This was one of the issues, de polize told I have stay on the extreme right, on the door-zone.

Another creepy one was "turn right on red", which inevitably means that the car will hit you everytime because it cannot see you.
As well as a general culture which is very willing to build new buildings, the population of Japan has been pretty stable, even falling a bit, since the early 90s. I wonder if that hasn't had a really impact on the fact they've more-or-less escaped the rampant house price inflation seen in other countries.

Since 1990, Japan's population has risen by 2%, the UK has grown 17%, the US by 32%, Canada by 37%. That growth is bound to put a significant pressure on property prices.

Right. Which means that transmission in Europe cannot be anything other than an ineffective solution to seasonal variation in solar generation. The seasonal variation in solar energy available to the European grid will be large, and one either uses storage to deal with that, has extremely large amounts of demand that could be dispatched on a seasonal basis, or just wastes most of the summer production. What would end up happening instead would be the excess and otherwise curtailed production would create an irresistible force driving something -- like hydrogen production -- to soak up that otherwise wasted output.
> For 80-90K£, you are far better off getting 60K€ in Germany or Austria.

That's around €95K-€107K. How is getting that in the UK (far) worse than €60K in those places?

In any case, the parent's point stands: throw enough money at them and they will come.
Can't you email the people on the official website https://www.goldengate.org/ and provide that information to the thread, as opposed to asking random strangers who could say anything?
after all, how far can clocks drift in a single day!?

Well, having run a Linux kernel on OpenBSD's vmm: they can drift more than a single day in that time. I did have to resort to using an ntpdate cron job because ntpd just couldn't cope with the time dilation effect. The cron job was configured at * * * * * (i.e. every minute), which roughly translated to once every 180 wall-clock seconds (+/- 30s).
Yes, heuristics.
Well there still seems to be a lot of deep content on the web, it's just that google doesn't show you any of it. You may, if you're lucky, get a Wikipedia box. And Wikipedia, for all its breadth, is incredibly shallow on most topics.

I submit that the reason you aren't learning anything from google is that it just doesn't surface anything for you to learn from, but usually just the same dozen or so big sites, wikipedia, stackoverflow, etc, and the rest is all spam and ads.

If you google "Strongly Connected Components", it shows you a wikipedia page and a few pages with what looks like freebooted content and a bunch of ads.

This is a far better resource than any you'll find on Google:

???

besides horrible deaths by radiation poisoning, increased cancer risk and genetic defects ?

This is like dying by firing squad vs being eaten alive by dogs, sure you still end up dead but one is clearly worse than the other.
I do agree that the honesty is refreshing.

That said, I personally feel like the mentality of "We will fire you if you aren't doing an _exceptional_ job" reads as a serious red flag. The implication here is that you should expect to work overtime and prioritize your job over all else. Even then, we might still fire you.

Of course I'd rather have a company being open and upfront about their unsustainable expectations, but I'd still prefer a company that values work/live balance of their employees. Would I say that Netflix's approach is toxic? Honestly, yes. But I do understand that this is just my own opinion.
Google transforms GMB names to punycode
Google search shows "See results about" with certain queries when there is a matching Google My Business profile. Our GMB profile "Lääkäri.chat" (Finnish for "MD.chat") is a domain name. Google converts the GMB profile name into a punycode query. This only happens in some languages e.g. Finnish but not English.

The results differ a lot depending on the conversion taking place or not.
For what it's worth, adding an external UPS to a Mac laptop counts as two, and in fact you can add one per Type C port + MagSafe, so you can have up to 5 battery backups for the 2021 Macbook Pro line (internal + MagSafe + 3 x Type C).

It's silly, but you can :-)
Maybe think of it like: What if Haskell and Go had a child?
Even before I had a job, reading "we are like family" in advertisements just left me thinking of "well you walk out on a family at 5pm just because the event ended then".
Hello Yoav! In my opinion the match keyword is not needed. When the parser gets to an opening bracket that should start whatever methodology the match keyword is doing. As a heavy regex user, I understand that you want consistency with the capture keyword behaviour. But if we assume that the user is a programmer but does not know regex, it makes more sense to view {<space>;"batman";} as an array (delimited by curly brackets).

In fact, you might want to go a step further and consider using [] for match and {} for capture (thus eliminating the capture keyword as well). Using [] for match would be natural for Javascript programmers.
That's not the narrators job though, is it? And the comment was about the narrators input.
I don't personally listen to audio books, so hopefully someone can chime in with some helpful alternatives?

From a quick search though, it looks like https://libro.fm/ is where I would start looking with an Audible alternative as it seems to align with my ideals and has a decent selection. There does seem to be a good few options though so have a look yourself if nobody has further suggestions :)

I'd rule out patch clamp. That would be too difficult and slow.

It sounds like they have very sensitive electrodes that are either very close to individual neurons, and then they shift those around, or they have a lot of those sensitive electrodes and compute the location of signal sources in 3D space. The latter would be a lot more economical.

Type 2 fun is a perfect example of the fading effect cognitive bias.

What really bothers me - even after all those years - is that if not for the drugs these guys would have gone so much further than they did. They had every opportunity, the tools, the brains, the timing and they fucked it all up.
They are not mutually exclusive, and organization can invest in developing both. WebGL also has the advantage that it’s immediately useful (lots of sites already using it).
I hate to say it but your problem here is ES itself.

If you just need "Lucene but clustered" I highly suggest looking at Solr instead, it's design is much more straightforward and has pretty much all the most important knobs for actual indexing that ES has.

If however you are tightly coupled to ES API or use it with 3rd party systems you are sort of up shit creek without a paddle...

Ran ES at large scale for many years, eventually gave up and only use Solr or custom built search engines these days.
The problem is:
1) Knowing that theme selector even exists without their angry little paragraph pointing it out.

My ideal/dream/lottery home would be laid out as though I had a decent sized staff, utilitarian rooms out of sight, clear division between things. I won't turn down the staff if you're offering, but note that's not what I'm saying - I'd just like each room to be efficient/appropriate for how I'm spending my time when I'm there. A functional kitchen that's easy to clean but can be left in a mess while I send the food up in the dumbwaiter, and myself through the baize, to a more 'form over function' dining room. (Functional as a dining room of course.. I just mean that's decorated for comfort etc. rather than being a work area.)
I’d argue more people develop on non-Linux devices such as Windows and MacOS on linux itself.

Port of LA’s new Cyber Resilience Center aims to bolster physical and digital
As someone who has done this a few times from pen/paper/excel to actual DDD software, it's really not that hard to shoulder surf and ask lots of questions about edge cases. At least initially. Though my favorite answer to those questions is: "never happens." Thus you end up with `BobSaidNeverHappensException` just to be cute.

But really, the software is there to solve a problem, so you end up shoulder surfing while the "expert" uses both systems simultaneously, and they're asking you questions and you're thinking about how you may rearrange the UI from their feedback. It's extremely iterative. The "domain expert" also becomes an expert with the software as they learn about all the things you implement.
#!/usr/bin/python
import os, sys, time, datetime

t = datetime.datetime.now().isoformat()

print(t)
for i in range(5):
time.sleep(1)
print(4 - i)

fd = os.open(sys.argv[1], os.O_RDWR|os.O_CREAT)
os.lseek(fd, 0, 0)
os.write(fd, b"test: " + t.encode("ascii") + b"\n");
os.fsync(fd)
print("done!")
time.sleep(100)

Run that on a Mac Mini. Do it a couple times. Remember the timestamp of the last one. Let it count down, then pull the plug within a few seconds after "done!" shows up. Boot up again. The file contents will have reverted to a prior point in time.

This isn't some hypothetical thing, this is a trivial test you can do. fsync() on macOS does not guarantee data is on stable storage. And this is actually well documented.

Then if you want to see the performance problem, make it a loop instead and use `fcntl.fcntl(fd, fcntl.F_FULLFSYNC, 1)`. You'll get 40-odd IOPS, but at least your data won't disappear after power loss.
I believe someone ran syncthing on a Remarkable. That could be used to move files from local/server to RM.

I would send PDF. I believe epubs are actually converted to pdf on device.
In the UK, it is notoriously difficult to team-up with someone to build a startup. The mindset is very different. If you go to US, India or China, engineers are willing to take risk. In the UK, the conversation starts something like this:

Me: "I am looking for a tech co-founder; the startup is at an ideation stage, and I have already talked to people who have shown interest in the project. I think having a tech co-founder at this stage will help a lot."

Listener: "How much are you paying for the role?"

Me: "This is an equity-based role because the startup is at an early stage."

Listener: "So you want people to work for you for free??"

This doesn't matter if the listener is an engineer or not. In the UK, there is little understanding of how very early stage startups work. It is equity based, that concept does not go down very well with the population.
Zabbix SAML Authentication Bypass (CVE-2022-23131) and more
I live in a country where there is no cash bail (France). Whether you walk free from a tribunal or end up in pre-trial detention is still pretty much based on the whims and desires of racist (and poor-loathing) police, judges and prosecutors. Notably, homeless people are almost systematically locked up for a year or two before they can face trial for what is usually harmless illegal activity they have committed (such as stealing food from a supermarket, or cracking a squat).

Reformism cannot help the people against the judicial system because the judicial system is not broken: it was designed to oppress the poor and the immigrants, and from this perspective it's quite efficient and well-oiled. No amount of good-will reform (short of police/prison abolition) can change much about it. I can admit the situation may be different in the USA, since i hear (from TV shows, sorry) you can be convicted/acquitted by a jury of your peers? If that existed in France (except for the "Assises" court), i can assure you prison population would not have been multiplied in the past decades for what usually amounts to selling weed, stealing from a supermarket, demonstrating against our overlords, or just being an arab/black person walking down the streets when the cops want to beat you up and accuse you of all the wrongs you can imagine.

Quite the opposite: the simpler the stack is, the easier to debug it is; also fewer moving parts means fewer things that break.
They were the market leader for PC operating systems since they entered the market with MS-Dos and managed to preserve that monopoly after the transition from TUI to GUI.

And later they expanded into applications as we know today and built monopolies for email, texts, presentations, spreadsheets and browsing the information superhighway. All prior art, indeed, near zero innovation.

The accountants love it.
Unwillingness to be seen as an asshole by anyone makes it impossible to maintain boundaries unless you interact with solely with emotionally stable people.

Unwillingness to accidentally act like an asshole makes it impossible to act swiftly and decisively unless you trust yourself to be infallible in your judgement.

This is not the same as habitually acting like an asshole.
I am digging through his book and it reads to me like a healthy dose of ideology littered with references to sociology papers that would likely not survive replication.

Additionally, I am reading a back and forth between Bryan and Noah Smith[1]. The main thing that stands out, is that after putting forth such a quantitative focused text on the topic, Bryan seems to resort to an idealogical back and forth with Noah. If you are going to put all this effort into building an excel model that makes your case, why are you not using that as your first line of defense?

Quite frankly, I don't think either Noah or Bryan really make convincing arguments. But that is because the debate between "human capital" and "signaling" is such a squishy topic, and no amount of data analysis or philosophical reasoning is really going to change the debate any time soon.

No it does not. The drive can still fail after you write() and nobody will care how often you called fsync(). The only thing that can help is writing it more than once.
Food for thought.

Based on history and actions, Facebook has proven itself to be totally driven by greed.

The only reasonable assumption is that any info available to them, they will eventually use to their advantage. Simply because they always have.

*Believing* otherwise is just wishful thinking with little actual basis in reality. Facebook didn't pay $19 billion for WhatsApp without expectations and intentions of a significant return.

> nothing prevents anyone from "donating" some crypto to, say, the address where Coinbase keeps customers' funds, thus "tainting" every withdrawal from that exchange.

Coinbase keeps customer's funds in a set of utxo's with many different addresses, and know which of those are tainted and untainted. Withdrawals can be expected to come from spending untainted ones. Your proposed donation will just add a tainted utxo to the set which won't be credited to anyone's balance and won't be spent for withdrawals.

F_FULLFSYNC is nonstandard. As far as I know there is no standard-complicant way to get data on to stable storage on macOS. That's a bit of a problem. It makes a lot more sense to make the standard-compliant way actually sane.
