Yeah, it's great! Even if you don't get deeply into it, the ability to take and send snapshots, the intelligent caching layer, and the data integrity stuff is all super useful. It's the same stuff that BTRFS sells but it actually, you know, works without constant intervention and data loss. And Zed is great, it ties the whole snapshot thing into the software update process and so on.

It's definitely a bit heavier than other filesystems but it's one of those things where I can't imagine setting up a Linux/Unix system without it anymore.

I wouldn't exactly classify ZFS as a "new" feature though. ZFS dates to 2004, OpenZFS dates to 2006, and OpenSolaris dates to 2010. 20 years is pretty well into "mature technology" by most standards, even 16 years is very mature by software standards.
Honestly, I think the West has significantly more to lose from sanctions on China similar to those currently in place for Russia, than China. And China knows it.

> Electric vehicles would completely get rid of this problem.

If the truck is 'idling' with the electricity flowing from its batteries, the pollution and climate impact is just dislocated in space and time to the power plant when the truck is charging.

If the truck is off, then there is no problem, but now ICE motors also can automatically turn off and on.
At 16, you are highly unlikely to know the law or even be able to working out the ramifications of your actions and most 16yr old have next to nothing to lose.
The how much is a difficult question because it depends a lot on the battery design, chemistry, and its integration.

The battery degradation chemical reactions is mostly based on the voltage (state of charge) and the temperature. The higher the voltage and temperature, the more the “bad” chemical reactions will happen.

An always connected laptop is the worst because their BMS (battery management system) are usually shit, the battery is always at a high state of charge, and very warm from the cpu and gpu.

It’s a bit better on a phone.

It’s much better on an electric vehicle with a proper BMS and active cooling/heating.

I feel there's a lost opportunity in not naming this project Emosaic or even Mojaic.
I think he's a bit out of his depth with the self-driving startup and bigger projects he's undertaken, but when it comes to CTFs and hacking competition, he's pretty damn good. Idk if he still does, but for a while he competed until tomcr00se and he'd always be at the top of the leaderboards for nearly every competition. I don't think that's just luck or plagiarism.

You can see him in top10 of US [0] during 2013-2015 when he was most active, that's not a trivial feat.

The question was whether diesel could plausibly be “the next asbestos/lead” and the answer is yes, absolutely.

The question was not which dosages of which chemicals would be more harmful for a short term exposure. That’s not relevant to answering the above question. In fact it likely has a different answer.

(For lag I’m referring to the lead/asbestos data. Exposure to these has been on the decline for decades but we’re still seeing deaths due to exposures 40 years ago), so they presumably cause an outsize number of deaths per year currently).
As an interviewee, I like coding interviews for another reason: they are so straightforward to prepare for. I have no idea what they say about my abilities as a SWE, but 4 coding interviews loops beat open ended loops where I don’t know what to expect. Yes, they have made intense practice of coding problems and prepping mandatory, but it isn’t a mystery.

But I don’t think they yield quality hires much more than the other ways, which all seem to be crapshoots anyways. Credentials and referrals seem to still give the best results, but they are necessarily biased to those who network.

I think what you get out of this book really depends on where you are intellectually when you approach it. I read this book decades ago while in college and it helped me conceptualize a recursive universe; thus, how complexity comes from simplicity. It was a mind blowing experience where I wasn't able to sleep for days as my mind raced to make sense of it all.

Ultimately, the ideas I formulated while reading this book set the foundation for my understanding of the universe in general. It gave me a mental model that has served me well for over 20 years and freed my mind to wonder about other things.
One good source is his speech at the State Of The Union in January of 2015 (though he had been claiming it as soon as they imposed the sanctions in different words perhaps). I am sorry, I thought you are feigning ignorance since you seem to be speaking with authority on the sanctions effect on Russia yet appear to be ignorant of what the POTUS who imposed those sanctions had to say about their effect.

> I don't see how it would.

Figures. As I said further up thread, many people seem to be applying their ignorance to analyze a complex geopolitical situation.
For the ID station, I think the idea to bring Union Station back to life and use existing infrastructure to connect the multiple rail options at the same level is by far the best solution. It will pay dividends long-term.

Alternate take: most places where people actually live are governed by Democrats, because Democrats dominate urban areas, and most people live in urban areas. Places with single-party dominance tend to be poorly governed (for instance: the Illinois Democratic party, the Kansas Republican party). When Republicans survive in Democratic areas (for instance: Massachusetts Republican governors) they tend to do well; presumably, Democrats managing in red states do well too, but we don't hear so much about them, because people tend not to live in red counties (they tend to be rural, not urban).

It's mostly party machines that are the problem, not the particular parties.

Before turning this into another Mozilla hate thread, we should consider the following:

1) Mozilla China is practically an independent organization and their Firefox builds have been quite different from "Normal" Firefox for a long time.

2) That error code is 451, "Unavailable For Legal Reasons", usually used to indicate government censorship.

Flatpak is the only packaging system that takes even a tiny step towards trying to give you some kind of security.

When installing software using any other packaging system you have no isolation what so ever. The software is able to help to do anything on the system as root (because the installer script runs as root). Not even Nix, which is supposed to give you some kind of reproducibility helps.

I personally don't trust every single software developer with the integrity of my entire computing environment. I want the code I run to be isolated and only be able to access the things they are supposed to be able to access.

Now, there are valid concerns that Flatpak doesn't provide enough isolation, and that it's never really clear what rights a given package actually has, forcing you to use Flatseal to manually configure the rights for packages. However, no other packaging system does anything to address the terrible security situation on Linux, so there is really no other alternative.

Well, there is one alternative which I generally recommend people to use which is Qubes OS, but it takes quite a bit of discipline to use it correctly, so it's not practical for all users.
The following wikipedia article contains hundreds of sources for war crimes committed on both sides (Yugoslav and KLA). KLA were officially NATO allies, and a lot of video evidence and official UN evidence exists regarding alleged locations, witness intimidation, and failure to prosecute KLA's top commanders.

There is a 3 hour documentary produced about the whole war in which Carla Del Ponte was featured.

There is nothing scientific about this "study". But another good example of what I call the "Cargo cult science" approach so often found in Japan: "We use meters to collect data and make graphs and wear lab coats, so we're doing the science!"

It's like the Japanese watched a movie of scientists doing science, and just recreated what they saw without understanding anything that goes on beyond the surface.

Why is this not science? No control group, no elimination of millions of variables that could affect the animal's choice of location, etc.
This really isn't needed on modern fuel injected vehicles, especially on petrol (gas) vehicles. The only thing you are really heating up is the cabin. Idling for 1-2 minutes when it's below freezing may be beneficial, but leaving a modern car idling for 15 minutes is a waste and doing nothing other than making it more comfortable for you. Once it's idling at a stable RPM, just start driving and take it easy for a few minutes.

The main part of the engine that needs to be heated up when cold is the oil, so that the viscosity is low enough to allow it to flow to all the parts of the engine it needs to reach. Modern oils do not have any issues being viscous even when cold, just make sure you use the right oil for your vehicle & climate, and change it on schedule.

Diesel engines are usually physically bigger and the combustion temperature is lower than petrol, so it takes longer to heat up. The biggest issue with a diesel is actually starting it though, that's why in colder climates diesel vehicles usually have a Webasto or similar device to preheat the coolant for you which will make it easier to crank.

Of course there are exceptions to this advice if you live in extreme climates, but NYC is usually not that extreme.
As far as git's concerned it's a pager - like `less` for example - that pages through `git diff` (for example) output.

It formats that output, and then might typically be chained into `less` for actual paging.

[I co-maintain, just issue triage really, a similar alternative called `diff-so-fancy`.]
Adjust your own mask before helping others with theirs.

It always appalls me when developers reason that a software development system that barely functions for themselves will somehow result in an application that the users will enjoy paying to use.

Software that doesn’t work for the developers will eventually stop working for everyone else too.
It is hardly ever -16F in NYC, or anything close to that.

I like how he mentioned Russian propaganda, but completely ignores Ukrainian one which is uncritically published by all MSM.

These last two pandemic years taught me to have absolute distrust in MSM, since as we all seen difference between "misinformation" and truth is few months.

It seems this shrank during UA war from months to hours, the best examples immediately forgotten by MSM being famous Ghost of Kiev, Snake island hero zombie soldiers or Mariupol drama theater with 1000 dead/trapped people under rubble with moving satellite photo of KIDS sign yet NOT A SINGLE photo of anyone trying to rescue them, not a single ambulance, digger, dead body etc and let's ignore fact people spreading "misinformation" wrote about this bombing 3 days prior it on Twitter.

Are there fines attached to most crimes? Also, I don't think we want private citizens risking their lives or exaggerating details to get the rewards on a crime.
One way to look at strategy could be how do you predict the second order effects. Using a sports metaphor to understand, strategy would be that "Our opponents are ABC, whose strength is D. Our team would go in initially with X plan, looking to tire out or unbalance the opponents/counter D, then at minute 60, they will have to do Y, we will counter that with Z, and we will win."

For 10 min delivery - a potential (although not good) strategy could be, we start with quick commerce delivery eliminating of long wait times and uncertainty in orders, and once the habit is formed and we know the items our customers want (and when they want it), we will predict demand accurately to store only the items they usually need, and we will reduce the cost of excess inventory and the storage needed for it, making it an efficient market.

>The point of picking a Linux distribution

Given that there's no mutual exclusivity to running flatpaks and running distro based software I don't see why there's a need to stick to anything. You're not losing anything by also adopting flatpaks. Do you also not compile your own software as to not incur the wrath of the package maintainers?

For my newest company, they'd made a page in the internal wiki with my name on it for onboarding and it had lots of stuff personalized for me, including a list of everyone on my team and how they would be relevant to my job (it's a cross-disciplinary team), and a few selected people not on my team with similar notes. Also "your first week" and "your first three months" sections. This was all in addition to the actual team onboarding checklist, which was delightfully comprehensive.
As I've commented elsewhere, I've found no-JS accessibility (as well as cookie and newsletter modals) to be great gatekeepers for low-quality content.

At some point, I've noticed a strong correlation between low-value content which was a waste of my time to read and these accessibility anti-patterns, so now I just close the tab and read the comments instead.

On the rare occasion I want to access the content despite these roadblocks, I use a proxy service.
What does "idling" mean for the EV? Also, people often idle in order to use power, such as for heat, AC, the refrigerator in the back, etc.

Yes, I'm sure it is scary if you have lead your life assuming that there was a blissful afterlife. But you must recognize that that was Jesus' main selling point: follow me and you'll have eternal life. Judaism believed that when a person dies, they are simply gone. Yet somehow they found purpose and meaning and weren't frightened of a yawning chasm of eternal emptiness.

> when we all die and no humans are left, that'll be it for all of us. At that point,

Yup, just like the universe existed for 14B years before humans came along.

> will anything that transpired previously matter at all?

Here is a thought experiment I've heard before. Say I'm really rich and have a tropical paradise, and I invite you to spend a month there. "It'll be great!" I promise, so you come. When you arrive you find I'm actually a twisted genius. I have developed a pill which will completely reset your memory back exactly like it was 30 days prior. In front of you is a spinner which alternates between: "party" and "torture".

I tell you, go ahead and spin. If it comes up on "party," you'll have the most amazing time for the month. You'll have private snorkling trips with Jacques Cousteau's grandson; you'll eat the finest food cooked by 5 star Michelin chef's I have flown in. Name your favorite bands and I'll arrange for them to fly in and perform for you. No expense will be spared to entertain you. But if you spin "torture", oh boy, it will be bad. Nothing that will leave a physical scar, mind you, thinks like waterboarding, being shocked by high voltages, capsacin injected into your urethra, etc. But at the end of 30 days, I'll give you a pill that will wipe any trace of memory from the previous 30 days, no PTSD or future nightmares.

So the question is: does it matter if you spin "party" or "torture"? After all, in 30 days, there will be no memories nor after effects. I'm sure that just about everyone would pick party. Why does the choice matter? Even though the memory of the torture will be wiped out, while you are actually experiencing it it is very real suffering (or joy in the other case).

To someone who doesn't believe in the afterlife, the fact that all of our memories dissolve when we die (in the case of dementia, even before we die) and nothing outlives our body, the joy and suffering we experience in life matter.

> ... sin ...

Look up the definition of sin: transgression of God's moral law. As someone who doesn't believe in God, I also don't believe in sin. I believe some events are good and some are bad, but I don't believe in sin. I am consciously or unconsciously worried about upsetting God by transgression His laws to the exact same degree you are consciously or unconsciously worried about upsetting Odin for transgressing his wishes.

I said originally I don't want to argue theology. I was just pointing out that non-believers are not nihilists, contrary to the claim of the person I was responding to. I have lots of thoughts about the other things you've written, but this doesn't seem like the right forum for them.
by this logic, do you feel entitled to bother dozens of people with your commentary?

> Back more than 50 years ago, René Girard started teaching French literature because he needed a job. He hadn't even read many of the books he was assigned to teach. Then, as he studied the classic novels of Stendhal and Proust with a fresh mind, staying one step ahead of his students, he was struck by a series of similarities from novel to novel. Unbound by any narrow research agenda, Girard discovered a simple but powerful pattern that had eluded sophisticated critics before him: imitation is the fundamental mechanism of human behavior.

I'd recommend have a dog dna tested to see what breeds they might be.

I got a rescue dog from a well known UK canine trust, they said the dog was a particular middle class docile breed mix, prey drive was too strong based on my limited knowledge, dna test later, none of the breeds mentioned by the trust were there!

Someone had been breeding something else, which explained the dog's prey drive. As a personal protection dog it would have fetched a very high amount considering its ability at seeing off a couple of loose German Shepherds and a couple of loose staffie's that wanted to attack him.

If I wasn't allergic to dogs which I have also found out, I'd probably get another one, but with hindsight there is alot of things nobody really teaches you about dog ownership which might make people think twice about having one. They will take up a large part of your time which is something you may not want.

Glycine can have anti anxiety effects and tastes much like sugar so may be useful for dogs displaying signs of anxiety.
