> The need to manually redirect the USB-keyboard to each qube

Why did you have to do this? In order to type in a qube? My usb keyboard just stays connected to the usb qube(sys-usb) and everything seems to work. I have never changed the qube my usb keyboard is connected to.
> I have never in my life heard of anyone caring about energy draw of a desktop computer

Allow me to introduce myself. I want to be able to leave my computer on all of the time so I absolutely care about power draw, especially with the sharply rising cost of energy.
Considering the expansion rate of the developer market, chances are that rate has actually gone down. But so has the intelligence of attackers, for the same reason.

I think things kinda balance out.

Maybe they meant:

The scenario here is analogous to walking away from your computer at a coffee shop... with your computer unlocked and logged in to various things
The analogy is even more apt due to nix basically having a garbage collector (packages no longer available from any installed package, profile)
Some people have no choice. In NYC, basement apartments are the only units you can find for under $1000/month. If you're an immigrant new to the US, if you're trying to find your footing after a tragedy, or if you're a new graduate looking for your first job after school-- it works as a (hopefully temporary) solution.

Lived in a basement apartment as a child for a decade. I came out fine. But yes, would certainly not recommend if there are alternatives.
Seems up now
I have been experimenting with my own implementation of something exactly like this. Will definitely try this out. So far it looks amazing, thanks!
Consider this example: The Fed has issued $2 worth of treasuries in the past, which mature today. If the Fed then issues only $1 of new treasuries today, the overall amount of treasuries in circulation shrinks.
> The book's investigating team suggested a Jewish man called Arnold van den Bergh was responsible for her and her family's arrests during World War Two.

That seems poorly worded. Assigning the 'responsibility' for her arrest to someone other than the people who made her existence illegal is very harsh indeed.
While I'm inclined to agree - I wonder why you are still in a basement if you're renting?

Surely the benefit of renting is the ability to quickly change living environment as you want, rather than stay somewhere you're unhappy for ten years?
Reminds me of a recent case in Denmark were an ambulance driver was charged with crossing a red light, and someone hit the ambulance.

High pressure, intensive work comes with an inherent risk.
Attempting to reduce this risk by adding additional pressure with threats of punishment to the people who do this extremely important work every day seems grotesque to me.

Reduce the pressure and intensiveness of the work as much as possible. Accept that these people are already inherently motivated not to kill others or themselves by accident or neglect.

My biggest question is the combination of an extremely short wheelbase, small wheel diameter and, perhaps more importantly, the negative fork offset and the steep head tube angle.

> through a protocol-driven provider consult and a home sleep test.

These tests have a high rate of false negatives. Most doctors would then escalate you to a test in a sleep center. How do you attempt to account for false negatives? Without insurance, why is your at-home diagnosis process better than the identical one I can get through my doctor?

> treatment devices including oral appliances and sleep positioners from industry-leading manufacturers, and we look forward to adding other treatment options including CPAP.

You don't have CPAP as a treatment option at all? Ok...

> patients typically aren't presented with all treatment options

Talking about sleep apnea treatment options is confusing. The dental appliances you offer are very effective, but not as effective as CPAP. If you cut a patient's AHI in half, that is statistically significant, but that person is still suffering from sleep apnea. Someone who has "moderate" apnea might have 20 events per hour, and if they cut that by 60%, that's an "effective" treatment, as long as you don't mind still waking up once every 7 minutes.

No other option is as effective as CPAP. Not even close. IMO patients should be pushed to choose the only option that actually "cures" sleep apnea. No other treatment can get you to < 1AHI.

CPAP takes time and work to get used to, and many medical professionals (including my own doctor at the time) don't have the time and patience to help patients get over the hurdles. It took me a year of learning to read OSCAR data and changing machine settings before I could stably sleep with the CPAP on. Pushing people towards significantly less effective treatments is a bad for them.

When I talk to friends and family about my apnea, they often suggest getting a mouthguard or even surgery because the idea of sleeping with a mask is so unpleasant. But breathing all night is really pleasant, so I have begrudgingly grown to love it.

Your site will probably do well, because most people don't like the idea of CPAP, but by pushing alternative solutions you may be encouraging people not to make the best decision for their health.
It's really nice to see Imagination's newly gained openness (see https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Open-Sou... for more context). The company's peak is behind it since Apple slowly dropped their IP. Despite being hurt by their policies during the poulsbo days, I still hope that this isn't a swan song and that it will help their business. Nobody wins with a heavily concentrated GPU market.

better comparison is that fully equipped tank, with a trained crew, maintenance and logistics is 10mln. To shoot eliminate a tank you need about 7 shots from a NLAW and about 4 people that need very little training.

The best way to eliminate a tank to cut off supplies to it, so it's better to destroy trucks.
It is hard to advocate for the value of decentralized systems without sounding like a hand-waving conspiracy theorist.

The benefits of decentralization do come at a cost of efficiency and throughput and they are often harder to quantify or justify unless one takes a harder look at the fully loaded cost of centralization.

As an example, consider the fact that MacDonald’s is by far the most prolific restaurant in the world or that GMO crops undoubtedly yield more productivity per acre than heirloom crops. In both cases centralization and standardization of the process has led to huge productivity gains, but at what expense? What have we lost in the process?

I would argue that monoculture and food homogenization engineered to maximize calories out per $ in have come at the cost of diversity.

Diversity of ideas, strategies, goals, ownership and agency all result in a society that, while productive, is less resilient.

Look at the various fungal plagues that have blighted banana production over the years. Monoculture brought huge yields but at the expense of resilience as a single fungus nearly wiped out the original Gros Michel variety and now a new fungus threatens the same for the Cavendish.

Similarly, Bitcoin is an inefficient network for transmitting fiat compared to Visa when measured against the criteria payment networks are usually measured on. Ethereum takes huge resources to run the equivalent of a Raspberry Pi as a global state machine.

Measuring decentralized systems vs centralized purely on efficiency and throughput kind of misses the forest for the trees. Decentralized systems have value that isn’t always obvious to a superficial analysis such as this one. That doesn’t mean they should be ignored. Often the largest paradigm shifts look like toys to start. (See Clayton Christianson and disruptive innovation.)
This has been tested several times, and used be a fairly common EDA academic reserach subjest. (As well as other languages like Haskell, SML). I first saw Prolog used for HW design in 1995 or so. A bit newer example is this:
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/220760154_A_Prolog-...

One important area is digital systems testing. There stuff like Prolog seems to me a better fit than for actual HW description. For test cases I want to efficiently describe the behaviour, esp inputs, expected outputs and changes to state.

For the design, I'm not only interested in that I get the correct behaviour (functionally correct), but also _how_ I get the behaviour. How much resources are needed, what does the routing look like, how many metal layers does it to route, how much power will it consume, how fast can I clock the design.
Most people with sleep apnea take a big breath through their mouths a moment after they stop breathing. Taping without CPAP is absolutely risky.
I think that will depend whether nVidia presents the monitor as one or two monitors.
Looks like it is from 90's era cards, right? Anything that could be of value for modern devices?
Is it bad for your eyes? How does looking at an extra bright screen compare to looking at white paper in sunlight? I can imagine it is no problem to eyes adapted to the sun, but maybe there is a difference between emitted light and reflected light?

And do you think it is safe to the screen? I heard that the screen will throttle itself at low-level when overheating anyway. (Edit: saw you answered it somewhere else in the thread!)

Really excited to do a bit of coding in the garden now, but I'm worried for my eyes and my new MBP :-D
Let's go with the false equivalence first. The MSM has not only been wrong about many things in the past, they have actively supported egregious crimes from the US administration. It's not only Judith Miller, they were all completely and utterly wrong about Iraq's WMDs, with disastrous consequences. Since you brought up Russia, the NYT and friends have consistently lied about the "Russiagate" events, including key elements of this narrative. Taibbi was one of the very few journalists with the courage to expose this for what it is. In the present war, yes, he was wrong that Russia would not go to war - an opinion shared by a majority of people at that time, by the way - and admitted so less than a week after the war started. These "mistakes" are not even remotely comparable.

As for your first statement, you will find that yes, every public figure has some dirt on them, if only because the definition of dirt keeps changing. For example, the comments made by Taibbi when he lived in Russia ~23 years ago~ are reflective of what the culture at the time found acceptable to say. Cancel culture is so obnoxious because it is used for hit jobs exactly like the one you are presenting here: find one or two events from someone's past and use that to close your ears to whatever they have to say at present, no matter how valid. Throw in some demands for them to be fired as well, because why not. Oh, and you have no way to atone for your supposed sins; even if you apologize you are tainted forever. It's time we fight back against this idiocy.

Full Employment Theorem
Thank you for sharing, gosh that must have been horrific to track down.

There really is something about USB buses that cause the worst kinds of errors. I happen to know that the USB2 driver in the RPI 1/2/3/4 has a Linux kernel corruption bug which is completely masked by the use of a USB hub.

Why does it matter? Because the RPI 1, 2, 3 all hide the USB port behind a hub. Only the zero, and the a series have a naked port. Now, try searching the RPI forum for USB problems and start to notice a correlation.

The problem is that the hive mind decided that all USB errors must be power related, and given the complete dodgeyness of most RPI zero setups it was always assumed this was the culprit.

Unfortunately it isn’t. No amount of probing, decoupling, externally powering ever fixed the glitches, ah but yes, not using an official 3A RPI branded psi was definitely the issue, sorry Agilent your psu’s just aren’t up to task, probably the reason you had to “rebrand” in the first place. :S

We ended up retrofiting a USB hub in-line with a USB connector for a prototype, and we’ve since designed in the hub just for that one USB port used for USB data storage, which is brilliant at the moment because USB hubs ICs are unobtainium, so, we can’t make any more product, because of this software bug.

Every couple of months I would try the latest kernel, but all you needed to do was write to disk continuously and you would hit the bug in 4 hours max, 10 minutes on average. The best part is the kernel corruption kills the file system, we got a trace on a monitor (normally a headless system) but if you ssh’d in, you were dropped into and empty file system and you couldn’t run any tool to diagnose a problem, a simply tab competition would hang the shell. Fun times.

Never bother reporting the bug because I found hundreds of threads on the forums detailing similar issues. It is very uncool that to this day they still insist on using their bespoke driver instead of trying to mainline their performance fixes, otherwise everyone using the dwc2 ip would have befitted, and this bug would have been fixed with hundreds more eyeballs on the problem, not just the one USB guy at RPI towers.
If the signals are going into sys-usb you must be piping them somewhere. For me and probably the GP, there's a "systray" (do they still call it that?) menu for connecting devices to things, and I have to direct my keyboard to a chosen VM that way (I have the added annoyance of having to re-set Dvorak each time; there's a bug somewhere). Maybe for you it's piping straight to dom0?

I recall at the beginning there was some security question you're asked related to this. Maybe you answered differently than us.

I stayed in my parents basement during high school and again for some time after college graduation. I've found it okay. It takes some getting used to, and you need to make an effort to go outside periodically and get some sunshine, but I've found staying in the basement gives me a better sense of privacy and control (my parents were less concerned with what I might rearrange in the basement hallways than say the upstairs hallways).

Still, sunshine is a good idea generally for both physical and mental health, and its easy to slip out of a reasonable sleep cycle when staying in the basement away from the rhythms of the sun. So your mileage may vary.
tnx, good to know.

Often connected to the fact that hyperthreading is enabled in BIOS (and it shouldn't be).

In general, you should try to ask for help on the Qubes forums. Most problems get resolved quickly.
A surprsingly large amounts of time I use Google, is to mainly to search on either reddit, stackoverflow, hackernews etc. Even searching for other sites is helpful using those sites i.e. searching for developer blogs gets far better results if I add reddit to it.

I think Google has it's place. However, I also think that an additional search engine like the one I described would be a very nice and useful tool. At least for me.

That’s their “job”. The fighting is for the poor bastards who happen to not be ethnic Russians and not Chechens. Even in hell everybody has their reserved role and for the army their role is to die ( some things never change ) while for the Chechens their role is to be a caricature of themselves conveniently spreading the fear around the world so the next time the army doesn’t even need to fight. It’s pure gangsterism coming from inside the head of a really small man.
One month ago in my country(Croatia) a high school pupil hacked big Telecom/ISP, stole personal information of 100 000 customers and demanded $500 000 extortion fee so he won't leak all that personal information he stole.

They are all out/public about their operations and hacks and that's not how financially motivated adversaries act.

I'm curious what the terms for the $1m are, though I suspect it's similar to YC.
Okay, now think about that a little more carefully:

1. Russia's problem is that other countries are choosing not to do business with them. The mechanism doesn't change that (China and India will do business, at a hefty discount, but that's true for gold, too) and Bitcoin adds some risks because the blockchain model is perfect for enabling censorship because it not only allows people to avoid transactions with sanctioned entities up front but adds retroactive risk: if you accept Bitcoin from someone on that list your transactions and everyone downstream can also be blocked, driving down the value of those coins and reducing your potential buyers.

2. If your concern is censorship by the government where you live, think very carefully about whether you'd want to be someone in Russia using an application which requires a great deal of very easily detected network activity and maintains a full public transaction history for the convenience of the cops who just illegally searched your phone. Each time someone you've interacted with is compromised, they now have a hard record to go after everyone else in their history so you're not just at risk at the time of the transaction (as with cash) but for years afterwards, hoping that nobody you know has been compromised and wondering whether the police are monitoring you to see whether you lead them to anyone more interesting.

> Plenty of us think open source means the source is an open book to be read, not a right to take and republish.

No. The term “Open Source” was defined to have its meaning at the time of its creation by the OSI. You have no right to redefine it to suit your wishes or preferences. The FSF does not agree with your definition, contrary to what you imply by selectively quoting them. Your quote comes from a text where FSF argues that the selection by the OSI of “Open Source” as a term was a bad choice, since it can be misinterpreted as simply “you can look at the source code”. This text should then obviously not be understood to be an official statement about what FSF believes “Open Source” to actually mean.

Also, neither “Open Source” nor “Free Software” imply any right to “take”, as you put it. Both terms are instead about what someone already in possession of the code is allowed to do with that code.

Your world view may be sensible and internally consistent, but it does not appear to entirely match what either the FSF or the OSI says.
That book will stick with you. It just will. If you suffer from an anxiety disorder, maybe skip this read.

> The longer it takes for Russia to conquer Ukraine, the more likely it will end up being the start of World War III.

A very naive and fatal flow of judgement.

Numerous times, Russia state media expressed Russian desire to attack Baltic States and Poland. Putin said similar things many times: i.e. that he wants USSR to be restored in previous borders.

If Ukraine is conquered by Russia, you will not get a world peace as an output.

Half of Ukrainians will be exterminated in the process (think Holodomor), but I know you don't care too much: "As horrible as this would be for the Ukrainians". I get it, it's not the point of this comment.

As an output, you will get a much stronger Russia with added power of Ukrainian people and military resources.

The problem is also not in Putin. If he dies, the situation won't be better much. The Russian regime is fascist-like and embraces Russian imperialism.

The only sane action is to help Russia to disintegrate into smaller nations and to show the world that aggression at such scale does not work.
Yup, from experience, you can pull this off for maybe a week or two before you start causing problems or negative output, or get actual health issues.
And that's if you're young, older people tend to fall off sooner.

The clincher is that you're never getting paid for the extra effort commensurate to it.
