> Do networks not fill up and get congested?

In theory they can, obviously. In practice if you pool 100's of users, the "regression towards the mean" kicks in with a vengeance and it almost never happens.

How do we know this? Well in other jurisdictions like Australia say (which is where I live), ISP's are required to guarantee a minimum peak period bandwidth. If their customers don't get it, they can complain to the government and _the government_ will prosecute the ISP.

The ISP's squealed like stuck pigs when this rule was implemented. What actually happened when it was introduced was nothing, apart from a few prosecutions when the ISP's lied. When I say "nothing" I don't mean absolutely nothing as every ISP had to label their wares with the real bandwidth and cap they would give you. For example, if you had a nominal 100Mbps internet link (which is the number they always quoted before the rule) an expensive ISP might say it was 95Mbps guaranteed. The cheap ISP, surprise surprise, might say they only guarantee 85Mbps on that same link. But no prices changed, and mostly no speeds changed. "Mostly" because a few liars had to stop lying and once the truth was visible the were driven out of the market.

Economic textbooks tell you a well informed market functions better than when there is an information imbalance between buyer and seller. All Australia did is correct that imbalance in the internet market, so it functioned a little better at matching buyer to seller.

But Australia went much further than that. There are no ISP monopolies in Australia, so there _always_ many alternatives for every retail purchaser. I won't going into how they achieved that, but I will tell you one consequence you might not expect. It means there is no need for net neutrality in Australia either. An ISP might advertise Netflix gets preferential treatment, perhaps Netflix traffic doesn't contribute to caps. That's all fair, but if an ISP penalised a customers Netflix viewing because Netflix didn't pay them a bribe - well churning to a new ISP is just a few clicks on a new ISP's web page. You don't have to ring up Comcast and plead your case - being able to change ISP's without contacting the old one is the law.

Australia solved it's internet delivery problems, including thorny problems like net neturality using the most basic of capitalist tools - putting systems and laws in place to ensure there is a highly functional market. It is remarkable how well capitalism works. It's amazing to many of us that the USA seems to prefer crony capitalism instead.
To the extent that this is true, it is not because they are women, but because they have uncommon names, at least uncommon among American public figures. If I say "Kamala is unpopular among inner-city communities", you're likely to know who I'm talking about. If I say the same about "Joe" you're much more likely to be confused.

Additionally, people often say "Trump", "Obama", "Biden". Saying "Clinton" is somewhat ambiguous (Hillary or Bill?). "Harris" could work, but it is definitely a more common name than Kamala.

Additionally there are other women in power who do get referred by their full names. People don't talk about "Marjorie", they use "Marjorie Taylor-Green". They don't talk about Ruth (Bader-Ginsburg) or Diane (Feinstein) or Janet (Yellen) or Margaret (Thatcher).
I guess I should have been more clear that by establishing a baseline I did not mean take one test and then have surgery.
Now that bluetooth is easy to put into a gadget, it would be easier to configure than would have been convenient just a few years back, where you would need USB or buttons or something.

It would have a magnetic sensor to sample 3D orientation now and again (maybe per second), an inertial-platform chip for lower-powered moment-to-moment tracking and dead reckoning, and power up a GPS once in a while to get absolute position, correct the compass heading, and rebase the inertial platform. It would have a distinguished click for when you face the next way point, or your campsite.

I am partial to the idea of weak electric shocks instead of audio. But that might be a harder sell. People usually talk about shaker motors, but that is a recipe for needing lots of battery. I would rather the whole system weigh less than an AA cell, and run for weeks on a charge or button cell.

About the fingernail magnets, I recall stories about people who implanted magnets in their fingertips. It struck me as kind of dumb, vs gluing, although maybe the more nerve endings would make them more sensitive. The description was that near AC motors and transformers they could feel a vibration, and could tell whether metals were ferrous by touch. I expect you could get a sense of how conductive metal is by wiggling the magnet near it.
there is another weird phenomena I seen on online forums.

Normally, get a not so comfort backpack should quite common, I knew lots of people try lots of backpacks and just can't get the right one. I suspect most of them is because of they pack their bag not (physically, or said in mechanically) wrong.

But I rare seen related content online, only few have issue with bruise hips. (hips!? really, how much you carry could cause bruise hips?)

I wonder if the search technology nowadays are broken (I use google, but sometimes I pay some visit to duckduckgo but get quite the same result)

Happy to see Lazarus on the front page.

I have used it for many years. For me it's still the only IDE with a fast compiler that creates native applications for Linux and Windows (and many other OS). And it doesn't require additional runtime libraries to be installed, so just download and run the application.

BTW: I created a Personal Kanban Task Organizer that is automatically built for Linux and Windows. It uses lazbuild in a GitLab CI Docker Container:

I'm not claiming any connection, but I did take note of the fact that this adenovirus causes gastroenteritis while at the same time there has been an epidemic of gastroenteritis in kindergartens, at least in my general area. The rate is unusually high, with most people I know with kids being affected, and my own kids having it TWICE in the last month.

This could be a complete coincidence of course.
> Ask yourself why you do this for Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton and no other politicians.

Great thing about push-ups is you don’t have to go to the gym or buy equipment, so no excuses! And they are great for core. Planks you can do anywhere too.

That said, I’m benching 120lb and aiming for being able to bench my weight and curl 45lbs again. =)
What I am trying to solve is that when we go throghhiking / multiday hiking, we will carry a lot of stuff in backpack(around 12kg ~15kg). If not pack properly, the backpack will pull back, even worse the muscle will get hurt. Some even have hip bruise.

By get the pack right, you can have a more comfy trip, and best of all, save some bucks to (not) buy a new pack (if you are lucky)

I was wondering how this gets any common chunks at all with the removed file boundaries. Turns out that chunks don't have a set size, just min/max/avg values, so unaligned streams may end up synchronizing. https://github.com/systemd/casync/blob/master/src/cachunker.... If I understood that correctly, that's pretty cool.

But looking at the code I'm having strong "nope" feelings. First, because of lines like "q += m, n -= m;". Second, because of int/enum/semantic abuse: `compression_type` may be _CA_COMPRESSION_TYPE_INVALID which I hope is -1, `>= 0` as a known compression type, or `-EAGAIN` as an error. (from https://github.com/systemd/casync/blob/99559cd1d8cea69b30022... ) I'd bet that just throwing afl at the decompressor will find issues :( (source - I had this feeling about systemd-resolved and threw afl at it, found issues)

I do like the idea though.

It's probably safe to say that the median person enjoys much higher quality of life in spain than the median person in the US.

But i would also claim that it's also true that you can earn more money in the US, if you have the skill and may be initial capital, than you can in spain.

So in the end, you end up with a land of opportunity in the USA, but not the land you would retire on.

Both other comments here are factually wrong written by two deluded pro Russians.

The fact is that actually Russians do not see Ukrainians as the same people. They want that Ukrainians would see themselves as Russians but they do not think that they are equal. So neither is true.

It is also not correct when either language or culture is compared. Ukraine and Russia are much more different than Austria and Germany. At best it could be compared as Netherlands and Germany.

In fact one of the main reasons of this war is the attempt to eliminate Ukrainian nation. This has been told by Vladimir Putin also by his propagandist in writing and in TV. By this moment it is clear without doubt that main intention of this war is to commit genocide against Ukrainians.

You can read about the Russian Endlösung from here https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/kremlin-editorial-ukraine-iden...

Claim that NATO does definitely see Ukrainians as Russians, this is simply blatant lie made to confuse you and others.

Russia has massed large forces with strong superiority in armored vehicles but it is not helping them because of Ukrainians can destroy them from distance using anti-tank missiles, artillery and drones. At current stage, also long range self propelled artillery has started to arrive and also other heavy equipment.

Ukraine won battle for Kyiv and is holding its position against second wave attack from east. While Russians have managed to push to west, they do with with heavy causalities and at the current moment Ukraine is winning in the causality game by large margin.

Mariupol is problematic but it is far from taken as Russians falsely claim for propaganda reasons.

Claim that Russia does not bomb or shell cities is again blatant lie which is simply not true. Russia has damaged 90% of the buildings in Mariupol and they have engaged actively in urban warfare with heavy losses in life and equipment.

Russia has mostly also failed to do city hopping and they are blocked in vicinity of larger cities. They have not also welcomed by local population in surrounded cities they have entered. Civil protest have followed instead.

Nobody wants Russians in Ukraine. Especially not Ukrainians.

So we have here two lying pro-Russians. I do not know why they are doing it. Are they not ashamed after what has been revealed in Bucha and in rest of Northern Ukraine?

I love the idea of decentralised apps for freedom of thought and privacy reasons.

One quibble with this claim: "with no server running 24/7 just to sync the data every once in a while, you avoid the production of the server in the first place and the energy it consumes when running."

For anyone looking for it, it's not as intuitive as git. In svn, you reverse-merge the commits from the current branch's history you want to revert:

svn merge -c-123 . # single commit, the second "-" is "do the merge backwards"

svn merge -r123:122 . # Multiple commits in reverse order, "the change going from 123 to 122"

Your comment feels good to read, to some extent. We are flooded with low quality content (art, music, books, articles), but we also have more high quality content than (probably) ever before. When you say “give everyone with no taste the means to create more mediocrity” I get the sense that you are overwhelmed with search results or feeds that are saturated with things you find unimpressive. Some of that comes with age (more experiences - that eventually overlap - can/will leave us wanting something new), but I think that’s more of a problem with curation than it is with an over abundance of mediocrity, or a lack of newness. I doubt everyone would hop onto the bandwagon and start creating mediocre <thing>. You have to already be interested in something to partake in its creation, and taste doesn’t magically exist without dabbling and experience and exposure to whatever the <thing> is. So maybe some of what you are seeing is more people exploring their interests and you happen to have similar interests that are maybe more developed or refined or opinionated.

desync is what git-lfs should have been: rolling hash chunk based storage, with local caching of chunks, proxying of remote chunks, etc.

When I have big 100MB binary files that i want to version, the changes are small (1MB in one place, and a few more KB in others). I also have a few multi GB SQLite databases I would like to version where this would help. (Changes are less than 5% of the data, but index pages throughout the file mean rsync-style partitions still transfer 50% or so of the file. To actually achieve storage efficiency, I store textual dumps, and they also fit better with borg/restic/casync than git or git-lfs

Would have been extra awesome if desync would be able to use a git repo as storage.

I was directly referencing Putin's speech where it seems to me he considers Ukrainians as part of the same people which would logically reduce the probability of nuclear strike. The statement I wrote had exactly zero voice of mine coloring it.

> Claim that NATO does definitely see Ukrainians as Russians

You could have simply read my second post in which I clarified that Putin sees them as part of same people (based on his speeches).

That you run into discussion, not reading the posts and claiming people are liars is insane-person behavior.
Let's be extra super pedantic.

If (let x () (x)) is allowed to take more than a constant amount of space, then for any finite memory there is always some finite runtime after which the program will exhaust the memory.

With proper tail calls, there is always some finite memory above which the program will not consume, even given an arbitrarily long runtime.

So, while it is a problem of degrees, one degree is infinite while the other is finite.
After viewing the Optical Remote Control video (the last on the page), I wonder if they only use artificial turds for training purposes, but drop live turds on actual Russian jammers?
That’s interesting. I just did this introspection, and I find that I say:

But interestingly, I call Jimmy Carter the full name, too. Can’t bring myself to use just “Carter”.

Though, why does the US culture so insist on taking the husband’s family name? It kinda feels like “Hilary” is the actual name of the person, and Clinton is imposed.

You can find these common late Roman coins on Ebay for a couple of bucks or in bulk even cheaper.

You can do

> hg commit --amend

to change the topmost commit.

Marking commits as public is mostly a safeguard against accidentally altering history that others may already depend upon. This is just there to provide awareness of the giant footguns hiding when editing history after it has been shared (git contains the same footguns without safeguards). You can revert the status of a commit from public to draft and then change it. Just like in git, it's very dangerous to do so, but hg makes it very obvious. The command is

> hg phase --draft --force .
You also get framed as some evil alt right nazi if you oppose any proposal. Way easier and safer to just let it all happen.
