Well, it is a hard read, but in short - it offers a curious interpretation of your personal experience of the world, suggesting that you are the only being, reality is manufactured by you (or in other words, you and reality are the same thing), that mind is something external to you, that you were not born but rather you were and the idea of you being born was a construct that you conjured later. Also, the living state you take for granted is only maintained and recreated every moment by memory and is compared to a dream and you are encouraged to "wake up" a second time.

You should listen to the linked video for a better introduction.
Simple, consistent, well documented, easy to debug, and easy to administer. Comfortable.
Sounds like many people I know these days. Very hard to trust others to do things correctly.
Apparmor has a nice learning curve, it's easy to get started with:

sudo apt install apparmor-utils
sudo aa-genprof /path/to/app

Profiles are saved in /etc/apparmor.d/

Many apps need access to /dev/urandom, /usr/bin, /usr/lib and be able to send and receive hup and int signals from other programs.

One nice thing is that you can define rules for child process spawned by your executable:

/path/to/your/app/childprocessorscripts/** Cx -> scripts,

profile scripts {
...
}

Unix sockets are very nice, prefer them over TCP/IP. For example if you have Nginx or other proxy, use Unix sockets instead of TCP/IP!

network unix,

Unix sockets allows you to set permissions per socket

If your app needs to spawn something that use TCP:

/usr/bin/curl px -> networkTool,

profile networkTool {
network,
}

Permission errors will show up in /var/log/kern.log

You can find errors and edit profiles with aa-logprof

If you get frustrated you can allow everything, but show logs:

sudo aa-complain /path/to/app
Yes Podman supports the Docker API and supports docker-compose directly a opposed to podman-compose which uses podman commands directly by reading the compose format and generating podman commands.

docker-compose2 has a bug with Podman right now, but a fix went into upstream this week to fix support.

hello, so i was studying B+ trees today, you see, in the morning i browsed hackernews and saw alexandria.org, opened the tab, kept it open, went about my day, got frustrated with my search results, noticed the alexandria tab and tried it, every result was meaningful, well done .
Open spaces are beautiful, and it's not necessarily a good thing to simply fill every area up with people.

Most of our gains in productivity have been captured by either housing pricing or massive government bureaucracies which serve just to “employ” people and have them duffle paper around. We don’t need to work nearly as much to produce this level of comfort
Probably a HN hug of death situation.

The app seem to rely on a third party basemap provider, they usually have have a quota beyond which the service will stop serving maps for the app.

My "year of the Linux desktop" was 2018 when for the first time ever I was able to play a AAA video game (Deus Ex Mankind Divided) installed from Steam with nothing but normal GUI mouse clicks.

Sadly there haven't been many AAA games with Linux compatibility (that I wanted to play) since then. Valve is still pushing it though.
Hmm, looks like Dustin went completely off sometime around December last year. Bit worrying, hope he is okay.
Marking the essentials (or better essentials based on your your current understanding) is different from marking whole sections or pages.

I remember one of my teachers saying he needs some books like Goethes Faust about every 10 years because of new understanding makes him mark different passages (in a different color) than on a previous reading. And after teaching and using the books for about 10 years he needs a fresh page to mark.

Podman works with docker-compose in rootless mode, no need to set up the security questionable DOCKER Group.
Depopulation of the country-side is an issue in Spain too. But immigrants don't move there. They go to urban areas, especially when their presence is illegal. Spain tried to get immigrants from South America move into to the villages by giving them a residential permit (and even a farm, I believe), but it was not successful, AFAIK.
What are the net advantages of being in a city? It used to be access to good employment was the main thing but with remote work this often isn't as much of a factor anymore. Access to better restaurants, music and sporting events are definitely advantages but limited access to nature, traffic congestion, etc. are disadvantages. I'd say it is more of a lifestyle tradeoff.

Has links to what to do if a Soyuz capsule lands in the US, and I'd assume would be useful if one lands in Europe.

Just in case.
1. The Quran. I’ve struggled with depression and anxiety - reading The Quran is always soothing and sometimes cathartic. One of the common themes is how insignificant this life is compared to eternity; e.g. Putin and Assad destroyed my country, Syria (and they’re now doing the same in Ukraine). I hope I see them brought to justice in this world, but if they’re not, I can live with that.

2. The Fabric of the Cosmos by Brian Greene. Written by someone who might an atheist, but it also demonstrates both theoretically and empirically how humble we and our planet are. He uses genius analogies to simplify complex concepts. Reading the book is very mind-expanding.
There's a host of problems. A simple example is a holdout who sees they are the only remaining obstacle to a project, and demand ten million dollars for a fifty thousand dollar plot of land the government needs for the project. A very capitalist mindset! But poison to public works. There's no "working with" someone who thinks they are sitting on a winning lottery ticket.

Another simple problem is that of guarantees. If the government is certain to be able to secure the land in a reasonable timeframe, they can structure the whole project on top of that certainty, planning from start to finish, establishing financing, signing contracts... If acquisition is an open-ended negotiation in which the holdout can linger for decades, either nothing can be done until every last square foot of land is secured, or else you risk suspending everything halfway (very expensive).
When’s the last time you were back in China? That used to be the case, but increasingly less so. Especially after Trump’s trade war. Chinese people I know proudly buy Huawei and Nio cars. Even American products that Chinese people love like iPhones and Tesla are produced in China now…

Also 1. I don’t think people generally say that.

2. CDC made a huge mess of the pandemic (eg not stocking enough PPE). USPS is in big financial trouble.

3. This is huge topic but I’m inclined to say US messes up as often as it succeeds. Afghanistan will have 22 million people starving this year because of US sanctions. They promote democracy, but not human rights.

But overall I think you’re right to say the US government is one of the “more” efficient ones.
I tried Atom, but preferred Brackets instead. I sometimes use VSCodium too. Previously I used Notepad++ and for quick and dirty hacks, Notepad2
This was basically what women being stay at home mothers and full time homemakers was. And it is certainly a good thing that women are no longer socially forced into that role. But rather than adjusting to the doubling of the labor force, the government continued to maintain this policy of full time employment being 40 hours per week. Economic feedback then made sure that having two incomes was no longer a choice, with most of the surplus being channeled upwards as housing rent. Looking at the big picture, modern full time employment should actually be somewhere around 15 hours per week.
Under the hood Antarctica is way hotter way closer to the surface than you might expect. There are volcanoes, too.

We probably want the weather to stay much colder than the negative one degree Celsius technically required for it to not melt straight away. Could make a critical difference or at least soften the impact.
> This is why I'm flabbergasted by people who oppose immigration to the United States.

They're opposed because to them, the United States is the people living there, not the landmass. From that point of view, adding a different people to the land worsens the crisis, not ameliorates it.

If, indeed, it is a crisis at all - nearly every country is currently at its most populous in history by far, and ecosystems are at their limits. We're nowhere near worrying about extinction from underpopulation - quite the opposite.
> 1) How many people in this world can honestly say "Wow my government is so efficient that it's more efficient than the corporations in my country."

Quite a few. This isn't unique to the US, and quite a few corporations do not drive themselves to bankruptcy being extremely inefficient or even malicious for multiple years. We've seen plenty of examples in the last few decades.

> 2) The US has some amazing departments. National parks, military/CIA/FBA/NSA, federal reserve, state department, FDA, CDC, DOD (research), public universities, community college, consumer protection, USPS, etc. What they actually accomplish is amazing and is at the top of the world or near the top.

You could replace "the US" with any Western/Northern European country, Japan, Korea, Oceania, Canada and quite a few other countries and they would fit the bill pretty well, give or take a few aspects.

> 3) The US accomplishes so much while maintaining a democracy. The US pioneers human rights around the world.

Same as the above. The US isn't the only country maintaining a democracy. The US has also been leagues behind on several countries in some aspects for decades.

Meanwhile, most of these European countries face the exact same problem the US will in the future if things continue the way they are. Doing things "better" or "best" is not a cop-out for letting problems continue to the point of a crisis. Housing in Europe is a prime example of this, where regulations are arguably hurting us more than they are helping, but the majority of the population still believes we'll be living in rundown apartments if we don't keep these regulations (often citing the US as 'evidence', ironically).
In Sweden it’s not that uncommon to have three kids, even among the crowd you referred to. We also have good childcare that doesn’t cost a fortune for the family, and state-provided parental leave with very good terms. More countries could do like this if they wanted too.

I value my time but I can still choose to give some (a lot) of that time to my kids. That time doesn’t feel wasted to me. I have also not given up on all of my own interests.

As for the meaning of life – it is what you make of it, really. And that’s true regardless of whether one has kids or not.
What's wrong with immigration as a solution to birth rates
Very good point. Back in the day in my culture you had multi generation families living in the same house. This helps everyone, parents get more people to help, the children grow around respective role models (uncles, grandfather, etc. for boys, aunts, grandmother, etc. for girls), etc. It still exists for some people, but less common.

Today things are so messed up, the economy, the push in secular cultures to even destroy the nuclear family, all this is taking a toll on society. Eventually it might be too late to recover.
This actually has high value, especially if you include asking meaningful questions.
I think the idea is "many JS programmers, especially ones who haven't really used anything else, may not be used to thinking about concurrency problems at all". This seems valid to me. Async/await in particular is all about helping you forget that you're writing asynchronous code; it can be a real foot-gun.

That said, in my JS experience this is very rarely a problem because it means you have global state that multiple pieces of concurrent code are accessing and mutating at different points over the course of their logic; if I saw this happening at all, it would be a huge code smell, whether there's a known bug or not. Still, it's good for people to be aware of the possibility and what to do about it.
This was also my main problem with the article (I submitted it!). However this does raise the issue that we haven't found the economic model which allows population to age/decline while maintaining living standards. I guess the answer is going to be "robots".
Would you prefer this approach over actually having the target in focus?
Exactly. And I'd have loved to know how such product decision ever came to be.
> All routes to STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) degrees run through calculus classes. Each year, hundreds of thousands of college students take introductory calculus. But only a fraction ultimately complete a STEM degree, and research about why students abandon such degrees suggests that traditional calculus courses are one of the reasons. With scientific understanding and innovation increasingly central to solving 21st-century problems, this loss of talent is something society can ill afford.

Calling this a loss of talent is disingenuous at best. If a student drops out because they can't pass freshman calculus, they will just be dead weight to STEM, not an asset.

Do you mean to ask what the battery management functionality is like (i.e. does the battery drain noticeably faster using OpenBSD)?

If so, I don't know what it's like on the MacBook or MacBook Pro, but on my Mac Mini, I can reliably say that the battery life is dismal ;-)
It isn’t as if the tech was not out there, but we made a conscious choice to move away from user-participation platforms — Hypercard and Smalltalk among the examples.

Minecraft has some of these elements, and is why it is fun for people.

Arguably, Roblox is the largest scale example, though my understanding is that it is still not so easy that end users can really participate in creating their own designs.
I believe the parent is attempting their own demonstration of Poe's law. I was impressed by the quality (and really hope I'm not wrong).
They are loud, though, because they use ~100 Hz wave compression for their combustion, instead of continuous-flow as with a non-pulse jet.
OS packagers have bugs like this every so often, because they still run custom upgrade scripts behind the scenes. Pretty sure I remember one in Debian a few years back (sorry, name escapes), and it was not the first time I remember seeing that.
But this really doesn't feel to be talking to my question. Local building of infrastructure isn't really offshoreable, is it? Such that I get a ton of things were shipped overseas. Not entirely clear that explains why building locally is so expensive.

Your last line indicates that robotics and other large scale industrialization can be pointed at. We manufacture more with far fewer resources?

But, back to my hypothesis that i would love to see shot down. Is the only labor left in large unions in a position that they are in the critical path of building? (Note, that if true, the answer isn't necessarily to bust unions, but to expand their base significantly. I could easily believe that their funds have been starved such that they aren't growing due to so much money being funneled away from them.)
Exactly. You have to drive up with plates that identify where the car is from. You ain’t stealing shit, unless you already stole the car in which case steal the guys wallet too.

Gas and dash isn’t a new idea.

I've also seen economic growth as piggybacking on population growth. There's another disadvantage to diminishing population, of course: care of the elderly.
i use an ios chinese dictionary called pleco that, for some reason, the developers don’t allow to be installed on macos. i primarly use my macbook to study, and before this update, i just checked definitions using the app on my phone. now, i have my ipad directly next to my macbook on a stand, and i can easily drag the mouse across and and look up entries without needing to unlock my phone and peck out or copy/paste characters. these kind of small optimizations to workflow are really helpful.
This one is available on Standard Ebooks[1]. It's fairly common knowledge, but I would highly suggest this site as the definitive source for high-quality copies of public domain works. I've contributed to their project before, and their editorial work is top notch.

My only real problem with coding interviews is that you never know whether or not people lack knowledge, or if they're just folding under pressure. I've seen very competent people start to fumble, when they're being put on the spot - which in turn makes a bad first impression, for the people that have just met them.

Some people are very good at whiteboard interviews, others at take-home exams.
Start from conservation laws, get a feel for the typical mechanics problems. Acceleration, forces, work, energy, momentum. (At first don't try to understand WTF all that has to do with symmetries/invariants.) Then a bit of EM. (Circuit analysis, RLC circuits.)

Eventually you'll need some undergrad level math. To get a few very concrete (hehe) examples maybe look into a bit of structural dynamics (resonant frequency, tuned mass damper, mass distribution described by a matrix).

Then eventually you need to be able to solve simple differential equations and know what Fourier has to do with radios, and how mechanics depends on calculus of variations.

The more examples you work through the more you'll know what you want to learn about.

My recommendation is don't try to deep dive into one topic, instead start to look for similarities in other topics, basically do a breadth-first search.
What governance models do they use? Any run as a consortium? Any orgs suitable for otherwise unrelated govts and agencies (local, county, state, fed)?

I'm most familiar with Apache. While some individual projects do well, most do not. Any ideas what accounts for the different outcomes? Has anyone since adopted Apache's structure and governance?

(I should probably read up about the orgs behind gcc and llvm. Clearly, llvm is doing something right.)
How much of an input did your parents have in your mom's selection of her husband?
Elden ring is a lot of fun once you get the horse.

My typical approach for open world games is: find travel mechanism, explore, find items OP to my current level, figure out how to level up, then have fun.

Elden ring is a huge world and I'm really enjoying it! It is my first souls game, and I've learned that you shouldn't care much about the bank balance of runes/souls/gold/etc.
I'm curious if it's not time to solve the chronic manageritis in large workplaces. It pains me to know end that resources are wasted on babbling while people doing the work are on their knees.
They are saving money too; with an increasingly remote workforce they need less space.
> strong correlation between rent prices and fertility rates.

I assume you mean a positive correlation.

When the Soviet Union collapsed, many of the former Eastern Block countries experienced both, a reduction in fertility and too much housing. The latter because so many left for the west. So many buildings were empty that quite a bit of housing stock was removed, see e.g. [1].

This is basically content free, and what content is there is mostly incorrect.

Yes - shared data can be modified in between events on the event loop. No - this is not unexpected, or really a problem. Events are essentially atomic operations, and reasoning about them is much easier than equivalent reasoning in paradigms that allow pre-empting at any point (ex - threads).

And that single paragraph has more details than the entire article, since "you can find it elsewhere" according to the source...
Oh, you're talking about a theoretical situation where the GPS satellites are reprogrammed to use a different synchronization source? Personally I'd still call that highly accurate, but to a different time standard. But I see where you're coming from.
Dropping a pin close enough on mobile to get 100 points was really difficult. I probably was only able to average like 12m accuracy even though the pin appeared to be in the correct place every time.

I also did my area twice and around 6/10 were either numbered or major roads that are very easy to ID. It might make sense to deemphasize larger or longer roads and numbered roads for a better balance of true local knowledge.
Why does Delaware get more money per mile?
Humans have done a pretty good job of overcoming the planet's carrying capacity through social and technological means. At some point, human's current organization and ability hits a limit and there is a period of stagnation, or regression. To me, and to others, these are not hopeful times. In the world that I live in, the best means I have to support myself also disconnect me from real community.

Living in the Bay Area, there is no real sense of permanence. Many people are here because salaries are so high, but if they don't stay high they will need to leave. Many people are pushed out because the area has become so unaffordable. Many of my closest friends live day to day not knowing if their visa will be renewed. A friend at my company just relocated to Vancouver because he didn't luck out in the visa lottery. I have several friends who are looking to leave because they cannot provide stability for their children. I myself am renting. I would like to stay here permanently, but the houses on my street have doubled in price (not value) over the last two years. I still may be able to afford to buy one, but the idea of paying more than 10k/month for an 1300 square foot house is hard to swallow.

California of course has tried to address these problems, and has been trying to address them for a long time. Overall, these efforts have been a failure sometimes doing more harm than good (see prop 13). California hasn't even been able to build a functioning high speed rail system even though it has been fully funded for over 20 years. The society that made these places does not seem to be the society that we need to fix their problems.

We have many people, with many ideas. We don't need more people to keep having new ideas. We just need to provide a stable environment for the people that we do have, and give them the space to express themselves.

Edit: btw, if it is true that new ideas are what we need, then the best way forward is adoption. What better way to get a new idea into a desirable place?
> contrary to what the “abstinence only” crowd would have you believe

Sounds like a straw man fallacy. My faith both advocates for abstinence before marriage, and getting marriage as soon as it viable (physically, mentally, financially, etc.).

Do you have kids? This reads like you don't. It reads like libertarian derp.

Getting "direct cash" that a young family could use for daycare doesn't make any difference if there's nowhere for them to spend it.
I might just have been lucky then as that has never happened to me in almost +30 years of using various distributions like Ubuntu, Debian, Arch, CentOS, Redhat and more. Literally not a single time this has happened to me on either desktop nor server. But as I said, I might just have been lucky. Looks like I will increase my backup frequency now.
It is perfectly working for me. Probably something to do with ISP?
