After a Twitter question by Corey Quinn and encouragement from others I spruced up a set of scripts that I've been running on my workstation for a few years.

I have been attempting to dockerize my workstation and the largest hurdle in making that happen was needing to install docker on my workstation and on any other VM I wanted to access the same containers from.

The second issue was that a container couldn't access a directory on my workstation if the container was running somewhere else.

After spending months experimenting, I realised that I could mount a sshfs volume that points at the current directory on the workstation, from the remote host and then use that mount-point to create a docker volume that could be used inside docker without needing to restart the docker daemon.

So, the process is, create a unique directory name on the remote host, sshfs mount the local working directory onto that directory, then create a docker volume, then start the container.

I'm using this to run git, aws-cli and firefox. In fact, I'm typing this on an instance of firefox that's running on a different VM, but has access to my local ~/Downloads directory.

Feedback welcome.
Tomorrow I have to sleep until noon, drive over to Yuma, AZ and take a nap while I get loaded, bomb into LA before the morning traffic starts up, drop the loaded trailer then go back to sleep until I get a reload probably at the same place I’m dropping the loaded trailer.

Zero stress, zero hassle (well, I hope…) and I’ll get paid a ‘measly’ $200 to listen to the radio all night.
If there's whispers the cat is out of the bag... the most respectful move is to simply address it and extend counseling

Your cause of death isn't a personal thing either by the way, it's a matter of public record in most states (and of course word tends to get out with something as emotional as a death)
The EU is not a nation state, yet roaming in Europe between nation states they get universal healthcare. As do visitors from treaty nations outside the EU.

There are no good bilateral health treaties with the USA For a reason. As an Australian, I have private health cover for longterm services like physio, optical and dental services. For life threatening emergencies I go public and can do so in bilateral treaty countries.

That's how I understand the problem. Happy to be corrected.
R2Home GPS Guided Parachute Recovery System
This is exactly the dichotomy many teachers unions forced, as they demanded not more safety measures for in-person schooling, but school closures and remote learning.

>>Keeping schools open in various parts of the country and failing to implement proper safety measures resulted in tragic losses of brilliant young teachers who didn't have to die.

This is entirely speculation, while you demand extreme rigor from me when I suggest a causative link behind the surge in drug overdose deaths in 2020 and the lockdown policies that massively exacerbated social isolation.

>>A lot of that has to do with the inequitable distribution of resources and access to things like wifi, computers, and quiet spaces for study. We have been advocating for funding for these things for a long time, for precisely this reason.

So you are admitting that teacher's unions knew that this would happen in the event of school closures. The teacher's unions' behavior was completely inexcusable and they were clearly not advocating for children.
Security is not just about not getting hurt, it's also about probability of being hurt, and leverage to bring the bad guys to justice. Theoretically, anyone can get shot at a grocery store, but that doesn't mean we're all living in dangerous places, does it? Other anti-viruses operate from cooperative countries, that don't have a reason to attack, and are reachable in case they do.

Everybody understands that if tomorrow Putin walks into Kaspersky's office, hands a thumb drive and says "make your antivirus run this", Kaspersky won't be able to say no. There were talks internally (I worked there) about open-sourcing but they quickly concluded it will change nothing trust-wise. Kaspersky is not being pushed around because of proof they did something, but from the fear of what they may do.
That makes zero sense at all.

People learned this person committed suicide and the organization decided not to address it. That is strictly worse than addressing it no matter how you slice it.
I've done both, in particular learning large codebases, and vastly prefer reading Python. Ruby code is too verbose; it reads like Java.
Harsh isn't the same as shallow. I don't believe snark is ALWAYS uncalled for, only that you deploy it when it's reasonably necessary. And this is a thing that people, especially HERE, get wrong a LOT. That it's unpleasant or hits people where it hurts doesn't mean it's not important, and I think it is.

I've tried it a few times. Even ran an account for a project I do.

I don't know. Maybe I'm not the right personality for this stuff but I found it annoying and taxing.

Open it up and you get these obnoxious videos and then have to press a button to make them go away. The user-base and interaction is worthless and toxic. Lots of people love it so maybe I'm just too old.

Perhaps they've "cracked some psychological secret" but I believe it's more likely they've replicated whatever makes pop music and television work for a lot of people. I have the same kind of distaste for those I have for tiktok.

But good for them. Entertainment is important antidote to stress. Glad people like it

I am guessing it is due to Apple and Android are the companies/software stacks that are putting arm devices in people's hands.
If you're aligned to the axes of the NTSC system you're going to form a grid on intensity, hue and saturation. There's almost no way to make somebody a better colorist than to take away their RGB sliders and give them something more like HSV. You get ideas like complementary and analogous colors "for free". As atrocious as NTSC was it's representation of color was parsimonious of bandwidth as well as compatible with black and white.

I think it's got something to do with the eye being much more sensitive to green but RGB cubes wind up terribly unbalanced and "meaningless" in my way of thinking whereas the Nintendo colors are "meaningful" in that they are aligned with human perception. (Never seen anybody else do it but I run my Hue, Sengled and LIFX lights green on hot summer days to add less heat to the house... I figure the strange color rendition is not so bad because I'm either supplementing outside light from the windows or if is really hot the windows are covered with space blankets and I don't care how strange of a scene it is.)
The complaints are from 2.5 years ago, yes. But the unprofessional response to the concerns is the issue.
I started out thinking I could afford the ZX-81 kit. My parents wouldn't let me buy it even with my own savings. Instead they made me wait and got me an Atari 400, which I'm glad they did. Some of my other friends also had Atari, C64, Apple II, and TI 99/4A (my electrical teacher had one too). Our school had TRS-80s which seemed the most powerful CPU-wise but with not much for graphics/sound. I knew the least about the TI since there didn't seem to be much info available for how to program it at lower levels. The games on C64 and Atari were also better and well-known. Parsec on the TI 99/4A was pretty cool.

My software development journey may have started when I got my hands on some memory address maps and graphics/sound details, eventually figuring out machine/assembly language to do things fast enough to make imagined ideas into games that played well. I mostly liked making tools and utilities like font, sprite, or level editors. Also practical things like a disk/file defragger or deleted file recovery (for 90KB/180KB diskettes). Modding retail games was also fun once you got past the mostly rudimentary copy-protection schemes.
This is very much not my area of expertise, but there are a few things that I think could be challenging. Let's assume that a cached resource loads in ~0.1 seconds and an uncached one loads in ~1.0 second:

* Any random delay of up to less than 0.9 seconds is completely pointless since we would know that any resource that loads in 0.5 seconds has to be cached - the 0.4 seconds spent waiting is useless.

* A random delay of up to a second creates ambiguous cases: is 1.1 a cached + maximally delayed response or an uncached but only slightly delayed response? But, with a random delay, we're still going to have pretty different peaks in the expected latency graphs for cached and uncached resources - uncached ones would peak around 0.5 seconds and cached ones would peak around 1.5 seconds.

* A random delay much more than a second would start causing the peaks on our expected latency graphs to be closer together - at a 10 second delay, we'll have a peak in the graph around 5 seconds for cached resources and 6 seconds for cached ones. I'm a bit fuzzy on how many resources we'd have to load to get a statistically significant finger print. I suspect its not all that many - but I could be wrong. However, we're also talking about a pretty significant delay by this point.

We also have the issue of how to handle AJAX requests. You only get one shot to measure the initial load. But, after that you can make an AJAX request to re-load that same resource with caching disabled and measure that. I'm not a statistician, but, I suspect that that information will be pretty helpful in figuring out what was cached vs not cached. Of course, we could add in some random delays here too - but since we can measure this an unlimited number of times, I suspect this would be even easier to defeat.

So, my suspicion is, that these type of random delays are possible to defeat if you have a better grasp of statistics than I do.

But, we could also assume that that is not the case and that they can't be defeated - what does that get us? We've had to add all these random delays in to block the side channel which is going to hurt latency - the very thing we're trying to improve with caching. I also suspect there is a ton of complexity to consider if you want to avoid having all of the same random delays on repeated visits.

We have an antique German upright in our garage in Australia that we believe is untunable but don't have time or interest to pay to check. Can't give it away. At this stage, our best bet is to tear it apart with a crowbar and put it out for pick-up or feed it through the bin. Given it's likely varnished, can't even use it for firewood.
Sometimes, the OSS (a popular) owner can't even care to merge pull requests. Because it also takes time to read the code too and make decisions to merge.
Thanks. I'd read that GC support might be on the way (and that that might make Go a bit more attractive for Wasm than it is currently). But I don't know anything about the other features you mention. Is it your understanding, or guess, that it is the "community's intention" to have (a subset of) JS or Python compiling to Wasm soonish and if so any guess as to how long?
This is not "foundational mathematics." This is about the foundations of algebraic topology. The experts in the foundations of mathematics as a whole (set theorists, logicians, model theorists, etc.) don't care about homotopy type theory. It's sort of pointless for the study of the foundations of mathematics. That is, they really just care about ZF or ZFC, because those are already formulated so that they are maximally useful for foundational investigations. (And the e.g. reverse mathematics people who want to work outside of ZF/ZFC already have more direct ways of doing so.)

Some idea of what people in foundations think about day-to-day can be gleaned by searching the Foundations of Math mailing list archive: https://cs.nyu.edu/pipermail/fom/

In particular: don't confuse higher category theory (of interest to the algebraic topology community at large) with homotopy type theory (which is not). Jacob Lurie has a rather pointed conversation with Urs Schreiber about this, linked to here: https://mathematicswithoutapologies.wordpress.com/2015/05/18....

edit: I'd love to hear from the downvoters why they disagree with this take. It's pretty standard, afaik.
Or, just use an Ubertooth sniffer. From anywhere near a running microwave you should see it in the 2.4gh range. Its cool to see how some microwaves vary the frequency up and down during a cycle. It looks like a standing wave bouncing back and forth. This also explains the common office phenomena of the wifi dropping every time someone nukes something.

Whether your phone can connect from inside is not a great standard. Your phone's antenna is maybe 1/100,000 the power of a microwave oven magnetron.

Really thought I missed something with COPY --chmod so I'm glad you mentioned it's new. COPY's preservation of flags simplified one of projects because I started setting flags on shell scripts in the repo instead of at build time.

> what is your success story?

I became a teacher. More generally, having a job that interfaces you with people will help.
Yeah, my bad. I was reading it on my phone, didn't quite notice the spelling. That's what I get for drinking coffee after 3pm :p
I learned how to do this in college: courses are Electronics 1 and 2, and Digital Logic, which ended in building an Arithmetic Logic Unit on the computer in software then uploading it to an FPGA, this one which cost $10.

Textbooks for these subjects can teach you. Also, you don’t need all that difficulty:
1) practice passing data from A to B. This is after learning some electricity, but you just want to catch some input, stop acting, then replay it: switch, to charge a capacitor-and-resistor, that unloads on an led after a few seconds. This is the entire principle of a computer, in a single action!

I couldn't follow the reference, and it isn't spelled out in the entry. this sounds like optimistic concurrency control. which is lovely, but performs poorly under high contention. does anyone know offhand (I guess I should track down that paper)
I always wonder what Bytedance is doing differently compared with other social recommendation tools (aka why does no one rave about Twitter's suggested follows).

My sneaking suspicion is product management designed a product that is literally perfect for a recommendation engine.
Oscilloscopes often pick up some small voltage at 60Hz when the probe isn't connected to anything, and that voltage increases when a human touches the probe by acting as an antenna. But this is because of the scope's high input impedance(1-10MΩ); as soon as you try to power something off that, the voltage just collapse to zero.
The text messages are new.
@dang this looks like a throwaway account pushing a particular angle. Most comments are downvoted and carrying a pro CCP, anti Google, pro Microsoft slant.
Not yet unfortunately. I'll add it in the future, but I'm preoccupied with homework right now.
If you disregard scaling challenges (which is fine for an initial launch when there won't be hundreds of millions of users at once), and skip most of the advanced features (ad network, DMs, spaces, ML recommendations and trends), I'd say building a baby version of Twitter is actually possible to do in a month with a small team. Heck so many of these alternatives already exist.

Of course the much greater challenge is overcoming the network effect. How exactly do you convince the entire Twitter userbase to switch over? Why would they even want to switch? Only the extremes on either end are using the app as an ideological battleground. The majority in the middle are perfectly happy with the current curated experience.
Github fills the gab between fossil and git and I don't need to host it myself.

i just wish i could control the routing via routing tables instead, making dynamic routing decisions possible without specialized software that is able to manipulate it.
"I'm sorry, son. Of course I have the power to stop all these bad things from happening to you (I'm God, duh), but you see I have this bet going with the serpent about how you'll react to having terrible things happen to you, so no."

I'd like to believe it's a generally accepted truth that if you have the knowledge that something really, really bad's happening (by way of Job praying, the topic of this entire thread), the power to do something about it, and have been doing things about it before, and yet refuse because of a wager, YTA.

In such a situation, whether it's God or the world doing the torture is kinda splitting hairs.
How would you determine N?

Amazon, Facebook, and Tesla were unprofitable for a really long time. Would they be as successful or even exist if their CEOs lost majority control on year N+7 and public investors demand pivots to immediate revenues?
1) is huge. I really started coming out of my shell when I went traveling - here I was in a foreign country where nobody knew me and I'd never see any of these people ever again. So why not talk to the random person at the train station? Why not walk up and introduce myself to some strangers at the bar? And with that practice I started getting better at it, which made me more confident, which made me more comfortable with it, which made me better at it, and there we have that positive feedback loop.
It is very good, it is objectively better in a lot of ways than legacy DNS protocols. But it's popularity is, I think, mostly because of ease-of-use.
>A fully socialised healthcare system a la Canada

Is the canadian healthcare system even "fully socialized"? It's single payer, sure, but there's still private practitioners/clinics/providers.

>There biggest problem with this system is that private healthcare isn’t a great business, and the hospitals and insurance companies often struggle. They also don’t provide anything near parity with public healthcare. The most complex and sophisticated care still happens in the public system, which in turn means that the best doctors still want to work in the public system as well.

I've heard the opposite about public/private healthcare, at least in germany. Apparently there, the public insurance pays a pittance and is regulated, whereas with private insurance they can charge the market rate.
The massive data vacuum is probably part of it.
For general purpose computing applications expand to fill the performance available (that includes real value and bloat!)

I dabble in microcontrollers for fun and there it's different. I am an AVR-8 fanatic and sometimes I think "this is so fast" and "2K of RAM is plenty" and "I can fit CRC-32 tables in 32k of flash because that's what counts as an 'operating system' for me"

Then there are the applications where it just doesn't have the power and I am so glad to have a box of RP2040's because in 2022 the most important attribute of a microcontroller is that it is available.
> just like a child can tell you that a man is not a woman. Men and women have been the same as men and women from thousands of years ago. We did not magically change species or something.

Ah. You have a very limited background. Right.

We have been the same species for thousands of years. And for thousands of years there have been male and female (sex) groups that have presented as men and women (gender), that is not the same as the one you might assign to them. (The galli priests of Rome, the Hijras of India, the khanith of Arabia, etc.)

And no... No, a child is not always able to tell them apart. Nor does a child, necessarily, instinctively call them either man or woman. If you were to ask a child of the Tiwi tribe what one of their ladyboys are, today, man or woman, they would answer "ladyboy". If you press the point - the child becomes confused. The ladyboys have been present in the Tiwi for roughly the last eight to ten thousand years or so ("kirrijamiyagirraga" in Tiwi). They are as much a part of the social fabric as man or woman. Tiwi is a gendered language, and has three genders (kirri - male, makirri - female, rraga - ladyboy), as well as a fourth tense that is used for gender-neutral terms (ramiya). And, well, if you assume that they're all genetic males, you'll get that wrong as well.
Is this reinventing OpenVPN?
Came here to recommend swing dancing as well. I found it a big boon in university for multiple reasons, but a big one was just that it's social environment with clear rules and expectations:

- Saying "yes" to a dance with someone is a very bounded commitment: it's 3-4 minutes of their time, and consent to physical contact with the shoulder blade and hands/arms (more for embrace dances like Balboa, but still everyone comes in knowing exactly what to expect).

- The basic moves/steps are all well understood; it's pretty easy to assess the skill level of a new partner within the first ~20 seconds and find common ground in terms of what will work to do together, how much you need to stick to the script vs being novel and playful, etc.

- There isn't much unwritten etiquette, and what little there is usually communicated clearly in beginner classes or non-judgmentally at the dances themselves. As one example: don't try to "teach" on the floor; it's okay to ask for tips or feedback if you want to, but no one wants to receive unsolicited corrections.

- In most well-run scenes no one is there to hook up and any attempt to do so would be regarded as creepy and result in the person being asked to leave. But you definitely can make same- and opposite-gender friends, and often there are opportunities to meet up beforehand or afterward, or to share travel/accommodations when going to larger events.

So yeah, my experience as an awkward engineering student in a mostly-male environment at school was that dance communities (I was connected to several of them due to traveling for internships) were very much a safe space in which to acclimatize to being around—and in limited physical contact with—women, and practice the meat of socializing in terms of how to carry a conversation, tell stories in a group, listen actively, etc, without the weird pressure of everyone suspecting everyone else's motives or like, wondering if they have some kind of agenda as far as trying to "close" or if they're going to get the wrong idea, etc. This really frees people up to be extremely friendly and have fun, and when in doubt, you're literally just there to dance and enjoy the music. :)

Anyone trying to picture a US “universal healthcare”, I want you to think back to your last trip to the DMV. The experience dealing with almost any aspect of our government is fraught with paperwork, delays, forms to fill out, “oh you want this other department” circular loops. You can put up with this torture for the “privilege” to drive a car, but you don’t get to force me to deal with this so I can get healthcare when/how I want to.

A while ago I went to an endoscopy clinic, and there was a woman crying and pleading with the secretary because her husband has cancer and couldn’t get treated on the day of his appointment because some medicaid paperwork didn’t go through regarding his diagnosis and thus medicaid wouldn’t approve the procedure yet.
