And it causes me endless frustration. Because after a power outage the pi will boot and look for somewhere to boot mere seconds after power is back.

But my router supplying DHCP and with info about where it should look takes guessing 3 minutes. And the NAS containing the actual files that the Pi should load is in a virtual machine that takes, guessing, 8 minutes for the hypervisor and VM to start.

So by then the Pi will have timed out and sit there, doing nothing for all eternity.

Fix? An extremely elaborate scheme of Ikea trådfri outlet controlled by the same server taking 8 minutes to boot to power-cycle the pi after it gets up (and notices that the pi doesn't answer to pings).

Has this been fixed yet? Is it even considered a bug?

Not sure about the rationale of giving up booting... Especially when this ought to be an extremely common scenario.
Putin&Co will have plenty of food on the table, unlike common folks. Now all the desperate young men will enlist to fight for him (or maybe against him like in 1917), it was already happening with contract soldiers in Syria.
It's understandable that the only way to pressure Russia is sanctions (can't invade there or assassinate him) but it looks like putting poison in one million city water system to kill a murderer while he drinks water from bottles.

But war is war...
- "One promising alternative is lattice confinement fusion (LCF), a type of fusion in which the nuclear fuel is bound in a metal lattice. The confinement encourages positively charged nuclei to fuse because the high electron density of the conductive metal reduces the likelihood that two nuclei will repel each other as they get closer together."

Isn't this just cold fusion? The end paragraph even credits an "International Conference on Cold Fusion".

Does the managed service actually require that each user get their own container? For some applications, particularly collaborative ones, it would make much more sense to have a container for each top-level thing that the users are collaborating on, e.g. one per document. I think Sandstorm [1] got this right with its concept of grains, and I've long wanted a tool that brought that model, a stateful container per high-level object, running arbitrary code (unlike Cloudflare Durable Objects), to the world of hosted SaaS. Speaking of Cloudflare, I'm looking forward to seeing what their edge containers can do, when that feature is eventually made public.

> ... many people don't even understand percent.

A worryingly (to me) large number of people can't tell you what 3% of 200 is.

Should we care? Should people have a clue about this? Rates of interest are quoted in percentages. Deaths from diseases are quoted in percentages. Growth rates of economies are quoted in percentages.

If you have no idea about them, how can you make properly informed decisions?

And yet people survive, so maybe it really doesn't matter.
One of my friends was interviewing at a popular nonprofit. 6 interviews in and it was down to her and one other candidate. She asked to postpone her 7th (!!) interview a week because her grandmother died and she was flying home for the funeral. They hired the other candidate in the mean time. I told her it sounds like a place you wouldn't want to work anyway, but it still stings.
The NASA research isn't mentioned there. Differences from cold fusion: they're hitting the lattice with gamma rays, and seeing 2.45MeV neutrons come out.

Doesn't mean they'll achieve net power this way, or that the lattice will survive the neutrons at practical fusion rates, but they seem to be seeing D-D fusion reactions.
The law
So cold fusion is viable after all, you just have make sure you call it something else so you're not laughed at. They are very careful to avoid the label:

"LCF isn’t cold fusion—it still requires energetic deuterons and can use neutrons to heat them."
> If Russia wins the war the government will probably not claim that Ukraine is part of Russia.

Putin already made that claim (blaming Lenin for creating Ukraine as a polity from properly Russian territory and Stalin for transferring additional properly Russian territory to it) when announcing the war, as did Russian state media just today, in what seems to be a pre-written victory announcement that was then deleted.
Please pardon the question because your higher comment seemed to imply this line of logic.

Speculation of the identity of Anonymous doesn't do much because it's an unfalsifiable framework no matter what the claim is. Even higher you said that the people taking down the sites and Anonymous twitter accounts were not the same. They likely are the same because they use the same branding. Whether or not the person behind the screen is a government operative is a separate question subject to speculation (that I am not disputing).
Corruption is endemic everywhere. This kind of law just plays whack-a-mole, shifting the corruption elsewhere, but not actually eliminating it. Since the fish rots from the head, we are unlikely to ever see changes that eliminate corruption at its true source, imprisoning the people in power that profit from it.
GNU contributed, but if they didn't exist Linux would either grow its own userspace or possibly borrow from *BSD. In the meantime, Linux did what GNU for some reason couldn't... although today HURD is actually nearly usable (in a VM) and Linux doesn't need GNU components (Alpine proves that musl/busybox can cover userspace, and with clang AFAIK you can make a completely GNU-free self-hosting system), which makes the whole thing a bit funnier to reason about.
On the other hand, I actually always see folks claim the downsides are greater than the upsides, so it's strange you feel the opposite.

Honestly, I'd rather we try it and see what happens.

In the case of the UK public sector anecdote you've shared, I'm guessing it hasn't actually depressed salaries at all. It's likely lifted the bottom, and perhaps squeezed some high positioned "high ceiling" folks down. But I'd need to see evidence of an actual drop compared to the "hidden" times. Otherwise it's just speculation.

Also, while you say the maximum is always significantly lower than the equivalent job in the private sector, I would then ask "Is the median higher than the equivalent job in the private sector?" because if so, that's a win. It's not much good to folks if a single individual can make boatloads of cash.
You're totally missing the point. It's like you're saying "other than that, how did you like the play mrs Lincoln?"

pg_upgrade should not be needed at all! It isn't for mysql. Or if it is needed it should be automatic.

Just the command line description and the manual of pg_upgrade makes you want to run away screaming. It's not ok.
You might be right, but the UK public sector isn't evidence, private sector almost always pays more, everywhere and no matter what industry.

One could make a case the other way - that companies won't lower public salaries, because they need to hire people, often desperately. In my experience, the lower the salary, the less response you get to your role, and certainly from people who are in-demand.
the counterbalance to this is (as always) the members of the military. They, too, are human beings, and it takes more than one or two of them to cause actual nuclear weapons to actually launch.

On many occasions in history, wars have stopped because too many people in the military decided that their political "masters" were too insane to be obeyed. We can hope that this pattern would repeat itself.
So, the answer is: "it's complicated"

You can get a cheaper ticket with an agent than with an airline but this would be a ticket attached to certain conditions (for example, it can only be sold together with a hotel room)

Another possibility is that you do a search and find it per X and then go to an agent and they find it cheaper but because they know how to look around your dates and possibilities you might not know (connection alternatives, etc).

But to be fair, even if it's a little more expensive I prefer the peace of mind of dealing with one vendor instead of two vendors if anything happens.

> So when the Michelin guide came out last week, and Birmingham kept hold of its five stars

Help me out with something

Although Michelin Stars only go to 3 stars

The Michelin guide for an area (which includes non-Michelin starred restaurants) goes to 5 stars? Or does she mean that the city of Birmingham has a total of 5 Michelin stars in the whole city, of which the restaurant she went to had procured 2 of those stars, leaving 3 stars to be split between one or two other restuarants.
No, because of the gamma ray input.
> It's not that it has to be 'better' than the best $12 bbq joint you've ever been to, just different.

On the one hand, no. It really, really, really does need to be qualitatively better food than you can get cheaply. (Especially for a Michelin star, the awarding of which still tends to somewhat resist the reality distortion field around gold-encrusted steaks).

On the other hand, it is motivated reasoning like this kind of thing that gave us Jay Rayner's (wonderfully withering but occasionally joyful) restaurant columns in the Guardian.

It's an absurdity (and a moral hazard, IMO) to ask for people's hard-earned money for food and then not give them food that is better, not just different.

(And just as I expected, I am being modded down for this -- go for it guys)
It seems last year one in five Russians were interested in asylum. Too bad the military likely avoids conscripting gays or domestic abuse victims or the Ukraine population would be increasing by every soldier sent in.

There is sort of a brother/sister relationship between the two countries and I suspect if the US agreed to float a basic income for a half a decade to defectors a good pamphlet drop on enemy troops could have them switching sides.
Once you are familiar with Fourier series expansion, you start seeing everything as a signal that can be broken up and manipulated in interesting ways. From silly stuff like a talking piano (https://youtu.be/-6e2c0v4sBM), to more complicated and useful inventions like jpeg, real time dynamic light rendering (spherical harmonics), and countless others.
Are you aware of "Dyscalculia?" It's similar to dyslexia, but with numbers. Less-studied, so less-well-understood. On the surface, it sounds similar to what you describe: no issue with math per se, but numbers in particular try to run away from you.
Unless you yourself have a good and detailed understanding of quantum mechanics, and have solved the Schrodinger equation for many different systems, I'd recommend not assuming that the physicists who proposed many worlds did so out of some psychological need to have the universe look like a branching tree.

The true situation is that the Schrodinger equation straightforwardly predicts a proliferation of worlds when you start from a low-entropy state. (Worlds in this interpretation are actually continuous blobs of amplitude, not discrete objects, which is why it makes sense that a partial differential equation like the Schrodinger equation can describe them. The prediction is that blobs will tend to spread out, split into smaller blobs, etc.) Early quantum physicists were disturbed by this, and added a collapse postulate claiming that the wave-function will sometimes spontaneously collapse, resulting in a single, linear world history rather than a branching one. To this day, spontaneous collapse has never been observed in an experiment.
Good, this should be standard.

I don't understand how you can have a labor market where only one side has information on what the salaries are for an industry through a team that does market research. It depresses wages, mostly for internal employees who aren't paying attention bc they're content with their jobs.

Price transparency leads to more efficient markets, no reason the labor market is any different. A company hiring an employee under market rate, because the employee doesn't know what market rate is, is a failure.

EDIT: Wanted to add that this hits closer to home for me b/c I've personally experienced this.

Went out and jumped companies and got a 300% raise b/c I was underpaid at the prev, only know that thanks to levels.fyi. New hires at my level were making almost double what I was.

When other engineers at my current company talk about salary, or total comp more generally, they vastly underestimate the state of the market.
You are talking about things that happen in the news rather than in the everyday world around you.

A lot of people in Finland may lose their jobs soon, because ~10% of foreign trade used to be with Russia. There is a feeling that the world has changed permanently, but nobody knows what will emerge. Ukraine is resisting the invasion, and ordinary people are sending money directly to its military. Even many activists on the left think that donating to traditional charities is insufficient. Meanwhile Russia seems to be only a shadow of its former self, which has awakened old fears of its collapse. And of refugee masses that could overwhelm Finland.

And here in the US, you can easily ignore all that, because you don't see the consequences in your daily life.
Probably they meant (1-⅚)ⁿ.
I've seen this comment many times before, in Colorado and more recently in New York City.

Laws can be passed to make this painful for companies.

Department of Labor, either at the state or federal level, can enforce companies trying to play a game with their numbers.

Also the collective pressure of the market would have a mitigating effect. Game theory comes to mind, would you apply to a job listing like that? Would you apply if every other job listing has a more "honest" range posted, or would you spend your time applying to companies that are cooperating with the state government?
As others have said, it's more of a crediting thing than the actuality.

Brandon Sanderson, a modern fantasy author, is famous for having an entire corporation of editors, storyboarders, and researchers. But only his name goes on the book.

I've studied Shakespeare a fair bit, his plays were certainly not written truly solo. But as the lead creative, alongside with humanity's love of hero worship, only his name stood the test of time.
Yeah. I think the swiftness, severity, and unity of the response from the EU and US really caught them and, really, a lot of observers by surprise. China's tepid "abstain" during the Security Council vote tells you a lot about how China feels about this war and that China's ambassador to Ukraine was not evacuated when war broke out hints at China thinking war wouldn't break out. It's tragic what's happening in Ukraine but I do hope various other countries will also learn from this and refrain from using violence as a means of achieving their goals.
Clean water evaporates from the top like a traditional system.

This innovation simply helps prevent the water where the evaporation is occurring from getting too salty over time.
I really hope this works.

Honestly, there are a number of low-hanging fruits in fusion.

More recent calculations show that, if you include the kinetic energy of the muons, Muon-catalyzed fusion may be net positive [0]. This LCF stuff is a low-hanging fruit too——ignored for many decades because scientists didn't want to hurt their reputations.

So the West should just let Russia invade Ukraine? The reason Japan attacked Pearl Harbor was because of the oil embargo, sure. But the oil embargo was in place because of their aggression against China. Should the US have kept selling oil to a country that was killing 100,000's of people in China? If is, where is the line drawn? When should the US have stopped supporting the Japanese war(which is what they were doing by selling the oil needed to carry it out)?
That’s an absurdly narrow range, IMO, even for a company advertising entirely in good faith. Most companies internal ranges are at least twice as wide as that for a given track/level.
That’s fair, although I think way more people would rather know that a lower-performing colleague is making 25% more than them and use this as leverage to ask the boss for a raise.

While some people might resent others’ well-deserved successes, far more people resent others’ undeserved successes.
Lots of talk about weakening NATO and division washed away pretty fast.

I wonder if Putin and Co believed their own BS?

China, I wonder if they were caught off guard by it, the war, the response, or even just Russian performance in the war.

China’s statements have been evolving quickly.
> Is there another internationality, except UN, which has authority to allow wars?

Kind of. International law is made up of both treaties and customary international law, which is (to oversimplify) basically a distillation of state practice. Think of it as almost analogous to statues vs. common law.

For example, while the U.S. is not a party to the U.N. Convention on the Law of the Sea, it recognizes most of its tenets as customary international law. (This is also why it regularly conducts freedom of navigation passages in the South China Sea, to prevent China's ownership claim from becoming customary international law.)

If a large number of nations (say, NATO?) agreed that another lawful basis for the use of force (LBUF) existed, beyond the right of self-defense or an UNSCR, that could become customary international law. The hot topic in this area right now is humanitarian intervention, which NATO cited in its Kosovo intervention and which the UK recognizes as a CIL LBUF. This gets meta real fast, since even though a large number of nations reached consensus on using it as justification for Kosovo, they haven't reached a consensus that there is a consensus on using it. Only the UK explicitly recognizes it as CIL, last I checked.

So what you see instead is this kind of academic song and dance where, e.g., the U.S. de facto is using humanitarian intervention to justify intervention in Syria but de jure relies on a mildly stretched interpretation of self-defense instead.
> I've seen a decent number of really sad-looking folks at Michelin restaurants, usually older couples, just kind of picking at their food and not talking to each other, looking around longingly. I remember a couple quite vividly when my wife and I were having dinner at Pacific’s Edge in Carmel ( https://goo.gl/maps/Bmj5jFPmYGgVfNCJ9 ) and there was a 40-something couple who had just ordered a $500ish bottle of wine, and they both looked as if they couldn't be less interested while trying it. They barely spoke to each other the entire meal, and I just felt kinda bad for them in the same way that I feel for people in dance clubs obviously not enjoying themselves at a literal party.

Some people are just miserable people. Some people also just spend money because they have it. I've seen people order $3k bottles of wine and leave half on the table and leave. They didn't not enjoy it, they just didn't care.
hilarious!!!!!
As long as they do it on their site, not third-party ones or via third-party ones, then also ok.
> Spawn is also a lot slower on Windows, but that is an implementation issue.

afaik most of that slowdown is because malware scanners (including Windows Defender) hook spawn to do blocking verification of what to launch. Which is an issue also present on eg. MacOS, and why it's also kinda slow to launch new processes (and can be subject to extreme latencies): https://www.engadget.com/macos-slow-apps-launching-221445977...

Which is yes an implementation problem, but also a problem that potentially changes/impacts the design. Like maybe it'd make sense to get a handle to a pre-verified process so that repeated spawns of it don't need to hit that path (for eg. something like Make or Ninja that just spam the same executable over and over and over again). Or the kernel/trusted module needs to in some way be involved & can recognize that an executable was already scanned & doesn't need to be re-scanned.
I don't believe this will be meaningful at all. Supposedly the same thing is going into effect in NY, and I've seen plenty of postings with ranges then all sorts of caveats about "experience," or flexibility in the role, or whatever else, that make it clear that the real range and the published range may be quite different. This, of course, to speak nothing of the distinction between salary and total compensation, which can be quite different.
I have a similarly aged car. If not for the pandemic and the lousy mpg of vehicles I might have bought one earlier. I had my eye on the Ioniq until I saw the EV6, but it’s about 15% more expensive than I thought it was going to be (probably got my wires crossed between the 2 vehicles) and you have to buy the high end one to get a sun roof, so now I’m not sure what I’m gonna do.
I suspect this is mostly useless for tech folks as you said; but it might be interesting for lower wage jobs that bait people with "Mcdonalds hiring for $20 / hour" and a tiny asterisk hidden there etc.
Odessa is a steal right now I hear.
malloc has to guard its locks against fork, probably using pthread_atfork, or some lower level internal API related to that.

The problem with pthread_atfork is third party libs.

YOU will use it in YOUR code. The C library will correctly use it in its code. But you have no assurance that any other libraries are doing the right things with their locks.
Give it a few days. When their economy is in shambles and there is chaos at home, their focus is going to have to shift from Ukraine.

Sure, but if dev time for the microcontroller was significantly higher it could still lose out overall.
Russia is a petrostate with a few extremely wealthy insiders who have been skimming off the nation's profits for a couple decades instead of building a giant economy. What else besides oil and gas does Russia really provide to the world? Thankfully, there are many levers to pull to ease the shocks of cutting off fungible Russian energy.
I remember this earlier subthread where someone was criticizing GitHub for allowing this (even using Torvald as someone to impersonate!), and others offered some defenses (which were IMHO dubious):
