Uh, shouldn't you do item 2 before item 1?
> I’m not sure how to convince those people either (or where ‘blame’ should be had here, education systems?). Do you?

Depends. In the US at least, the underlying issue is socio-political alliances resulting from the two-party rule. The people trying to do the convincing also lump in a bunch of other things to the point where unless the otherside had the interest and motivation to study climate science first hand, taking their word for it is impossible. Like, you wouldn't take climate change advice from say... the CCP or the Taliban either unless you know enough to independently berify their claims. The people that can independently verify need no convincing, for the people that can't well.. you're also telling them their beliefs are a joke, their history is shame and they have to accept a whole lot of other things (not that I agree with any) they find utterly repulsive. Not only is there no trust, there is open hostility. Maybe don't make climate change an us vs them thing? This is the price of politicizing everything. You want the Bible-belt to get onboard with climate change? Get preachers on board not scientists. You want texas and alaska onboard? Also get the NRA onboard. Blue collar workers? Get them unions for green jobs that pay better (price in better pay to workers). You want china and EU onboard? Convince people nuclear power is safe. These are just my ideas but the point you need consensus not a majority.

> towards the pros/cons of having people consume less fossil fuel a time where the majority of people driving (in developed nations) also sit for hours on end (with obesity rates as high as they are too). Perhaps we should give up the need for fossil fuel and pick up the need to bicycle, walk around, and purchase less stuff

That sounds great and I agree but try convincing people that use scooters at walmart to bike to work. Most post-war cities are designed to consume fossil fuel. They are anti public transport and pedestrians. All that can change, but even if it did, takes too long and it will not be enough by itself anyways.
"It's so sad to see what a cranky, feckless old man he's become."

He's always been grumpy.

"I often wonder if he had to go back, if he would've prefered not making FU money at a relatively young age. Since then, he's basically just owned a pizza shop and shitposted about hackernews, Bitcoin, and modern internet culture. Seems like such a waste."

He's owned a nightclub, and I'll forever be grateful to him for hosting VNV Nation there in the late 90's, and for making DNA Lounge a home for EBM, synthpop, goth and industrial -- one of the only clubs that had that sort of dark electronic music in the entire city.

I think GP is referring to the idea that just because ipv6 is capable to provide universal connectivity from a technical sense, that does not translate to the techopolies implementing it in its rawest form. They have "interests".

They are quite happy being a dependent node between two individuals/devices talking to each other directly on the network in many aspects. The "Who, ???, When, Where, ???" are very important to their ability to monetize you and keep their business going. No good/evil duality here its just business and the capitalist way in the basic form. Why would they want you to send messages directly to another individual/device when you can just as aptly use their "cloud/network" service instead? Why buy a VPS from AWS or Digitalocean when you can just host the same services from your phone or a spare computer?

ipv6 can in some sense threaten the for-mentioned dependency, given no restriction. So expect even if these massive operators implement ipv6 end-to-end, probably as a cost/complexity saving measure, that "security", "convenience", "reliability" measures are put in place so that you are not permitted to make direct connections across ipv6 unchecked or at best some technical upsell, or just not possible at all.

The sad story being that while ipv4 and NAT/CGNAT were intended as a technical stop-gap to ipv4 exhaustion and security, waiting for ipv6, it effectively moats users into network centric power hierarchies where the ISPs, hardware vendors, OS vendors get to dictate the level of access, which are useful from a business aspect.

Remember ipv4 is now "scarce". Scarcity produces economies, which produce commodities, which produce futures/speculation, which produce business strategy. ipv6 promotes universal abundance and connectivity which is terrible for business on the strategic front. No wonder why ipv6 is going nowhere so fast.

Things to Make and Do in the Fourth Dimension by Matt Parker is a fun, accessible, and fascinating explanation of how math can be a big game.

The Annotated Turing by Charles Petzold really is great. It comes up a lot on this website but it was a great follow up, a good bridge from the fun almost hack-y math to a more "serious" approach. This led me to:

Computability and Logic by George S Boolos. A standard textbook in universities across North America (and maybe further?).

In the end I didn't become a mathematician. I hardly use advanced math compared to many other engineers and scientists but the ideas have stuck with me for years, and I think my life is richer for knowing them

The simple solution is to make the program a quine - make it able to serve it's own source code. That way it will always be up to date!

> Then you have this box that helps you realize how difficult it is to maintain a Linux box without a package manager :P

Indeed. I will say though, I'm seriously considering using this for a custom built appliance, probably for audio work - I always get annoyed at purpose focused distros because I can't quite fit it all in brainspace, and then it updates and changes under me. Audio specifically because I can never remember if my laptop is set up with Pulse/ALSA/JACK/OSS/Pipewire, and always break things when I try to set things up (I'm kinda dumb).

But perhaps a custom LFS which never needs to be changed or connected to the internet after installation...
I'd say get more used to Linux first. I tried LTS with very little prior Linux experience 10 years ago and failed miserably. Small documentation issues like a wrong version or an incomplete command line argument took me hours to find and fix.

how did you compute this table? with some kind of library/tool?
Some companies used this approach for Y2K, deciding to use a pivot similar to the above to decide whether to prefix 19 or 20 (or 21 or 22). It made the fix easy, but they didn't expand the field size from YY to CCYY, so all kinds of stupid errors await us in the future.

I was young at the time, and I did what management told me to do but felt icky about it because I knew it was hugely inferior and they didn't know what they were doing, and I was just a tiny cog in the team doing all the changes, most of which thought it was fine... Left that place long ago.

What you recommend is an easy fix, and might work most of the time, but its wrong and will cause infuriating problems, probably making others suffer your past deeds. Just do it properly once, first time.

Bad benchmark possibly - Ubuntu presumably has some optimizations enabled by default, and portage could've been set to build with no optimizations (not used gentoo before, so I could be misunderstanding something).

Could also be talking about boot time maybe - isn't SystemD supposed to boot faster than OpenRC much of the time?
Not a good closing chapter indeed.

Even if Russia capture population centers, it will not stop the currently increasing number of sanctions.

Neither will installing a puppet regime, that will be seen as almost worse than an invasion.

There will never be any participation in sports as long as this invasion stands, nor will there be any travel abroad for the common Russian citizen.

It's very hard to see what Putin can do to escape this situation, except withdraw from Ukraine.

This will not be the legacy that Putin hoped for.
A majority of Americans cannot afford an unexpected expense of $1,000, let alone $16,500. The fact that its cheaper than the amount of gas you'd pay over that lifetime is irrelevant considering most Americans are not rich enough to shop comparatively like that. It's expensive to be poor.

It's like if the odds of a horse to win are 1:10 but you're betting 100:1. It's irrational and has no basis when compared to other similar companies.

They're not betting that the "company will do great in the future" - that's not really how this works - they're betting number go up.

There's a lot of ways for number to go up, some to do with the underlying business, and some to do with short-term price action gambling. The difference is the former is sustainable over time - positive sum even - the latter is not, and the market will usually drain the latter out.

I think you're half joking, but if you have that much difficulty then yes, absolutely unironically practice in whatever is a safe enough environment until you're ready to take on the real world. Practice in a mirror, practice on your family/room-mates if available, watch the interaction in videos, whatever. It's an actual skill, and like any other skill it can be done through sheer massed practice even if you start from virtually zero ability.

Exactly its like an arms race. It has become ridiculous, they want you to solve an LC hard and that too within 30 mins. And there are trending questions, for ex: if GOOG started asking segment tree questions, everyone starts asking that.
I guess think of it like religion. There's no logical reason behind religion... but it exists. It's more of a cultural phenomena then a strategic action.

The people who believe in the religion can't differentiate between religion and truth. Hence if a huge number of people in a company believe it as truth, it becomes part of company policy.

In addition to this, many occupations over time develop standardized testing and filters to keep supply low. Keeping supply low is a logical incentive but there's no one guy who set the policy to be this way with the purpose of creating a cartel. Much of this happens organically as cultural phenomena. Doctors and lawyers are good examples of this.

Training to become either a doctor or a lawyer is actually quite excessive and there's no proof that the people who make it through these gateways are better performers. In fact, there's statistical proof that doctors in the US who go through one of the hardest filters ever to become a doctor are actually much less effective then their European counterparts. This indicates that the filters don't exist because they create more effective doctors.

I think software is going through a similar process. It won't get encoded into government accreditation. But it will be used by elite companies to form the typical class based social hierarchy which is a cultural phenomena that forms across every single culture.

I'm just dumbfounded that an university that has this:

https://www.caltech.edu/about/legacy/awards-and-honors/nobel...

...also has to offer a whole course to prep for job interviews :-|
Having had quite a bit of experience on both sides of the equation, you’re absolutely right.

The very act of extrapolating how a person would perform based on a brief snapshot in time seems flawed. It is unreasonable to task the interviewer with making a good decision with barely any data.

I used to think that a well calibrated question bank or interview style could be a reliable signal. But the moment you ask something specific is the moment you don’t ask everything else. A poor performing but good candidate’s strengths could lie in the latter category and a well performing but bad candidate’s strengths could be in the former.

There needs to be a reliable and credible way to learn about a persons strengths and weaknesses based on their track record.

I’d weight credible reference checks, previous projects and credentials more than their actual interview performance.

We're currently regretting that we've managed to increase the CO2 levels in our atmosphere to levels that may have substantial effects on climate. Some yokel-head environmentalist got linked to yesterday that we can get geothermal energy everywhere if we just dig far enough; just imagine the headlines years from now when we discover that we've been letting out all the heat from the part of the earth that keeps the magnetic field running that keeps our atmosphere from going the way of Mars. Putting the heat back in there will make getting rid of CO2 look like an elementary school project! I'd say leaving no trace might be a useful challenge for us...
There are at least half a dozen countries other than the Russians that could say as much. For sustainable military might and to wield influence, you need economic strength. Without that, you're left with terracotta soldiers like we're seeing today in Ukraine.
That's an impressive vote of confidence that the war won't spread beyond Ukraine: an LNG terminal is really not at all the kind of thing you want to have around in a war.

It isn't able to undercut it, no, but it's able to supply the energy now, while transitioning to wind and solar is going to take about 8 years, maybe longer in places like Estonia.
Yeah, you can tell Gentoo to build with -O0 if you want to, so that's quite possible; likewise, you can try to overdo it and create performance regressions (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17158219/in-which-scenar...).

Boot time crossed my mind, too, but Gentoo is happy to run with systemd so that's not really "Gentoo vs Ubuntu" so much as "this exact variant of Gentoo vs default Ubuntu" which is kind of fair. (Assuming, of course, that OpenRC is slower to boot than systemd, which would also be an interesting benchmark)
It's always amusing to me when articles like this come up, as if it's a "new development." I know it's more of a discovery but it's still always amusing to me we are discovering phenomena that likely has happened from before humans can write and will continue for long after everything this civilization disappears, the article titles always phrase it as if it like just happened recently.

AFAICT all the SiFive products that are available to purchase and have workstation-ish amounts of RAM require boot blobs. I would be happy to be wrong about this.

https://forums.sifive.com/t/remaining-agency-issues-to-be-so...

Apparently there was a very limited run of dev boards for which no blobs are needed, and then they promptly discontinued that product and replaced it with a (confusingly-similarly-named) blobbified product that you can pre-order via mouser (listed as "backordered, no ETA"). This product is already marked EOL which is not encouraging.
My first boss had an often repeated mantra in code reviews: "akdor, don't fight the damn language!"

If you're using Python, write with Python concepts. In C#, write C#. In F#, write F#. Etc etc.

React has many many great ideas. But they are perpetually fighting the language. Here we have a great demonstration of stuff that is built in to any ml-legacy language being hacked into js in a way that the transformation happens in the user's browser in a scripting language at runtime! It's both genius and ridiculously inefficient and alien.

Don't fight the damn language.
Some might say that's a part of the problem. After the cold war, many Eastern European states received financial and other support and thrived as western-style democracies while Russia was more marginalised and went through period of economic decline, leading to rise of Putin as president after the "Chechen terrorist" apartment bombings and the demise in all but name of the fledgling democratic system. Parallels with history of Germany after WW1 / Weimar / Reichstag.

Ideal outcome may be that Russia ends up with different leadership after this disaster, and a strong, healthy democracy, with more of a stake in the global order - similar to Germany post WW2. Wishful thinking at this stage perhaps...
> Most RTC chips tends to be centennial - this means current chips only support up to 2099 or 2100 depending on the implementation.

With a reasonable implementation, that's not a problem. A clock doesn't need to handle old values, so you can assume the year is between build_date - 10 and build_date + 90, or something like that. Or at boot assume you're within 50 years of your last filesystem update.

Also huh, exFAT added a byte to timestamps to change the resolution from 2 seconds to .01 seconds, but still kept the awkward bit fields from FAT32. Also some implementations break the new byte. Just changing the bit fields to a single number would have pushed the end date to 2250.

I don't think I'm ignoring anyone, but I really like living in a society where goods are actually available for purchase. All I'm saying is that that's such a good thing that it counts as value added by the scalpers. There are maybe a couple issues obscuring my point, though.

First, there's a sense that scalpers are illegitimate and cheating the system. If Sony were to raise the MSRP themselves, or retailers did it instead, most of the anger and complaints would disappear. Honestly, they should absolutely raise the price. Scalpers are making the market function better in this case, because the "official" outlets are not doing their jobs.

Second, most people in the West are not used to thinking about real scarcity and what it means. (If there was a terrible coffee shortage, you might be happy to find a guy who will sell you a cup for $20.)
