Yes. Additionally, it's crazy that we're singling out this specific type of debt for forgiveness. What exactly is the criteria that makes this debt different from others?

Is it because it's taken on when you're young and unable to understand the risks? If that's the case, I gambled away a LOT of money when I was 22 on casino credit, and I made the mistake of paying off my markers - I should have waited for the "you made a poor decision when you were young" forgiveness train to arrive.

The same could be said for those parasitic $500 "Student Credit Card" offers we all received when we were young, or the kids who decide to finance that brand new Mustang they can't afford at loan shark rates due to no credit history. Why not forgive it all, if the standard is "they were young and didn't know any better"?

And why stop at youth? It's pretty ageist to assume only the young are financially illiterate. There are plenty of older people who make poorly informed financial decisions. Bail them out too? When all the 5/1 ARMs written at 1.6% a year ago for homebuyers barely on the bubble of serviceability reset, we should definitely forgive them for their idiocy as well.
Ask to see analytics specific to the business. If there's any exaggeration ("We already have product market fit") the graphs will tell you very quickly if that's the case. There is often a lot of embellishment among early founders when trying to hire. And if a company has much less traction, it might be reasonable to ask for more equity so it really affects you.
For point of reference there was an article about yaupon posted here a few years ago - A Forgotten Drink That Caffeinated North America for Centuries (atlasobscura.com) - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16713733 - that got a lot of comments, but most were about pawpaw and yerba mate. Seemed OK to bring it up again with this newer article.
Last time I checked they don't exist in GitHub, but it seems like a really good way to counteract this problem.
Suppression of liberty and free speech is against the founding ethos of America. Should we abandon that ethos, we have abandoned the very idea of America.

I agree. There were always of course "tabloids" but we all knew what they were and we knew wrasslin' was fake.
It is a very different situation for USians than we’ve seen in a long time.

Ukraine is a real democracy (the people want it.). Contrast that to the usual authoritarian client state or the failed efforts to create a democracy that people didn’t want in Iraq or Afghanistan.

(It’s not to say that people in those countries might not want a democracy, but they don’t want the ones we made for them.)
can efivarfs still be accessed after booting with efi=noruntime? If so, I might add that on my systems and see if anything breaks.
In my area, the highest upload with comcast and DOCSIS3 is 15Mb/s, and only the gigabit plans. My 250Mb plan gets a wonderful 5Mb/s upload.its completely rediculous.
On Linux, I can see the square in Firefox, but not in Chrome. Interestingly enough, the color in Chrome is identical to the color of the square in Firefox, but when I force sRGB in Chrome (chrome://flags/#force-color-profile), it becomes identical to the background color in Firefox. I don't know what to make of that
Anecdotally, I used 16/8 intermittent fasting to lose twenty pounds last year, and then stalled. At that point I started counting calories in addition to 16/8, and lost an additional twenty pounds.

Any successful diet works because it makes you eat fewer calories. What makes IF, low-carb, low-fat, or anything else work for an individual is ease of compliance. I feel better when I eat a lot of protein and skip breakfast, so I'm more likely to stick with it than other eating patterns. My wife, on the other hand, feels like garbage when she tries IF.

There is no magic bullet. Everyone's body and lifestyle is unique, and everyone needs to experiment to see what eating strategies work for them. IF is a very useful tool for many people. Eating six small meals per day is a very useful tool for others. It shouldn't be treated as a holy war.

I studied architectural engineering and hand to take a handwriting course. It is the exact opposite of cursive, youre never supposed to let your pen(cil) connect letters, not even parts of the letter (as the post describes how to write a P). you always lift up the pen and start a new point of connection because it gives you more control of the output. it was an interesting class and changed the way that I write (all caps that basically look like the image in that book) and also anyone I teach to write.
But that's what I meant. You can't expect someone who gets paid for nothing to just go and increase their risk of failure infinitely by doing something. Not doing anything is much more profitable in their situation.

I'd never pay a telecom company before I got my services and used them. They always found a way to screw me over when I did (many years ago). Your city just got the classic treatment on a massive scale.

A much better way to handle desktop memory is to have both a generous amount of swap on fast storage, both to allow hibernation AND to allow a bit of wiggle room if things fill up too fast, and also installing and enabling earlyoom(1) with a high but effective threshold to prevent a lockup. Sure, it can cause things to break when using lots of memory, but it never lets you completely stall out.

There are now configurations within systemd for this, but I'm simply more familiar with earlyoom daemon.

Even the abstract directly contradicts the conclusion:

> The mean weight loss from baseline at 12 months was −8.0 kg (95% confidence interval [CI], −9.6 to −6.4) in the time-restriction group and −6.3 kg (95% CI, −7.8 to −4.7) in the daily-calorie-restriction group.

So in other words, beyond caloric restriction, the time-limited group lost more weight.

The study seems to have ignored other measures, such as inflammation markers.

Further, a 16/8 restriction is barely a restriction at all. It's trivial to consume 3 meals in that window. It's also too wide a window to measure the results of autophagy, one of the key reasons to do intermittent fasting.
Now time to reintroduce wolves.

I'm responsible for hiring exactly the kind of engineers we're talking about. We can't pay as much on gov dime, and equity is nonexistent, but we have some of the best, domestic engineering teams around doing amazing things.

Our people go on to work at (eg) SpaceX and to found exactly the kind of startups that we're all dog whistling about. (Lars Blackmore?). Lean, focused, fast and providing valuable services to gov and private industries.

This discussion about how 'the government' cannot 'do this' is a vague rorschach blot that reveals people's own motivations only, and ignores the completely different priorities gov has. Do you believe the deep technical expertise that gov-funded experts are surely providing to Ukraine would be posted on Twitter?

> the purpose of a UI is human-device interaction

That's not the purpose of a film ui though. Its purpose is a lot closer to that of a prop: it can convey information about the plot (ACCESS DENIED), be part of character development (fluid mastery of a complex tool), convey setting & tone (metal and cracked glass screen implies something different than flowing holograms).

The thing it is not for is an actual person to use as a tool to solve a problem in real space. It's not inherently a worse prop because it can't be used that way. Just as a prop gun that can't fire is a shitty gun, but a better prop for that very reason.

Filmmakers should study real use of UIs so they understand how better to use that prop to convey their meaning to the audience. But they shouldn't pursue verisimilitude for its own sake. A prop gun that the audience can tell wouldn't be able to fire conveys a very different meaning to one that looks ready to go. Filmmakers should be able to ensure they're conveying the information they think they are, but the rest is artistic choice.

I'm pretty sure the folks who are for a debt jubilee are also for reforming bankruptcy rules, and there are folks who are in favor of reforming bankruptcy rules that aren't for a complete jubilee.

> I think many people who run other Unix-like OSes don't always realize how much of the code they use regularly comes from the OpenBSD project, even if we don't often run OpenBSD directly.

OpenBSD is a huge contributor to the Unix ecosystem. Also, don't forget the top-notch documentation. Even when I'm using Linux at work, I'll still often pull up the OpenBSD man pages because they're so much better.
Yes, exactly, this is very different than directly sending such weapons to Ukraine. It also has to be seen from the Polish view, free upgrade to US tanks. They also tried it with their aircraft hoping for US fighter jets in return.
Full circle because it is better, you avoid the unnecessary moving of state, however it is of course zero benefit of using react at this point.

It’s very likely that English cursive is insufficient to really write the English words - since English pretends to only have 26 letters but so many do double or more duty - sometimes distinguished by diphthongs or other mechanisms but often just assumed you’ll know which pronunciation is right.

I wonder if the Russian cursive slips in because it has sounds that are closer.
> Mainstream media is feeding us constant lies...

No one reporting that apparently.

I agree with some of your points but accusations like that without any room for nuance do not resonate with me.

> The problem with the US and the west is not freedom of speech or the free market, it's our debt-based monetary system which is now based on soft money.

And I've seen convincing arguments claiming the exact opposite: that debt has allowed large enterprises, investments that have gone on to create untold capital. I'm still on the fence.

Such a code base is likely to be large and the changes distributed somewhat uniformly across it. This means that conflicts are actually not super likely and also that your assumptions are not highly likely to get invalidated by the commits that happen in between.

If your change does break after merging, it can usually either be quickly fixed with a minor code change or simply reverted immediately.
This is a good comment. I do have a contrary opinion however as I generally recommend a spencerian derivative over an italic one to new learners these days. One could say simple Spencerian derivatives are like Rust with a steep learning curve to inculcate the core shapes into muscle memory but have lesser overhead during runtime owing to their dependence on muscle memory. Italic derivatives otoh more like Go, easier to pick up initially, but relative to penmanship variants have a higher runtime overhead. This is a silly analogy, but drawing from my experience teaching penmanship and calligraphy to people of different age groups is what I’ve seen to be true, mostly in younger age ranges. Older people usually do better with italic variations. A good reason, I recommend spencerian/penmanship derivatives is that they let one write more efficiently with higher precision during flow moments as letting muscle memory do the work helps with learning the task at hand.

A small nitpick, Zanerbloser doesn’t derive from palmer script, but they both absolutely do belong to the same family.
They aren't saying IF doesn't work, they're saying IF doesn't work better than other strategies, for the population as a whole.

IF works very well for some people, and there's no reason for them to stop using it. Other people feel like garbage when they IF, and end up binging; they should not use IF.

Nobody's trying to take IF away from you, they're just pointing out that it isn't a magic bullet for everyone.

The headline is garbage though, as is tradition.
I'm sure if it was on the table, intelligence and national security officials would issue a jointly signed letter that implementing a "Great Firewall" in America is necessary for national security.

the change of HSV from RGB have to say, confusing in-all the online chatter and talk here is at B&W into RGB for colour/color "taste", individual optical focus and further more, its goes beyond chat, news and should be studied.

The government fields a very well trained, powerful military. This is arguably within the mandate of government. Provide for the people's defense.

However, the same military has been unable to complete its stated objectives in Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, etc. 10 times out of 10, the situation has remained exactly as it was before, or worse.

If the military fails at a core mandate that we mostly agree to be a reasonable one... what makes you think they could maintain complex code?
Microvm.nix: A Nix Flake to Easily Run NixOS MicroVMs on NixOS
The HP-UX kernel required at least as much swap as RAM, due to the way it handled memory and swap. I used to know the details of those algorithms, but have freed those portions of my memory for other uses. It was something like: The algorithms HP-UX uses for virtual memory consider that memory based on swap, and the RAM is kind of like a cache layer in front of the swap. This makes the handling of allocation and swapping easier because you know where everything would go before you start trying to swap.
Yes, but the whole idea of the study was to see if IF had weight-loss benefits on top of that, which it does not. This seems to prove that the mechanism by which IF works is calorie restriction, and not some other voodoo.

Surviving the GitHub OAuth hack – remediating thousands of hardcoded credentials

Too many "security engineers" trust telcos way too much.
Just being a security engineer doesn't instill you with a defensive or paranoid mindset. I work with security analysts who use TAILS to browse random websites and security engineers who torrent cracked software and install whatever they find directly on their baremetal PC/laptop.

Plenty of stuff still uses CBC (or other modes) with another authentication method. AES-GCM is nice in that it combines both explicitly, but a lot of stuff just combines other methods and it’s fine.

AES-GCM has the annoying property of output size > input size for instance.
Leave things as they are. Code continues to rot.

Is it possible that the solution is to look at why there is such a high frequency of commits by different devs into the same main branch?

Rather than look for a technical solution I would explore process and culture changes, such as having the various devs making all the different commits start pairing.
Something I've been curious about for a long time:

I grew up using an IBM 8513 VGA monitor connected to a PS/2. That's the mental model I use when thinking about color; to my brain, the default grey color (value 7) is "right in the middle" between what I think of as black and white.

What modern colorspace most closely maps to the color space I grew up with?
In the past three years I've repaired two washing machines whose main PCBs were not coated (neither were they broken, the washaing machines were defective elsewhere). One was a Beko, so more on the cheap side, and one was some Aldi-branded Italian make I haven't heard of before. I think the name was Whirlpool. It was extremely cheap and the connectors burned after a few years of use, taking the main PCB down with them. But even the replacement part was not coated.

I think only the more upscale or expensive ones are coated for longevity.
Former intelligence people churn out all sorts of goofy takes in an attempt to build their brand. They’re also all over the spectrum depending on what audience they’re chasing. Not that much difference than any other media influencer or substack author.

It's ultimately a free speech issue. You can't demand people to self-censor because their previous employment places unjustified credibility their nonsensical views. The way to combat this is through better civic and media literacy.
It's funny when Popper is brought up in this way because his conclusion was that the only reasonable censorship of intolerance was that which poses a threat of immediate physical harm. So basically how the US treats freedom of speech today.

He certainly wouldn't be supportive of censoring racist commentary that didn't incite immediate physical violence.
VS Code doesn't have 3 way merge view, yet. Looks like it's coming soon, though https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/37350
Earlier in my career I was working on components of undersea seismic nodes that were both conformal coated and potted in epoxy. Along the way we realized we were going to have to make a blue wire mod to the PCBs already deployed or loose quite a bit of money. We developed processes to rework these PCBs very effectively, although I can not reveal details. Suffice it to say it was not a fun process, but it was deemed necessary.

Sometimes when all your solutions are bad, you just have to pick the least bad solution. It's still not a good solution, but not solving it is worse. If it is the only available device they know of with the chip they need, they might not have another option.
