Niemcy = Deaf/Mute (as opposed to Sloviane = Word-people/Speakers)

This was the old Slavic distinction between people who they could understand, and people who they couldn't.
I've always wondered if we can have void ships (rigid vacuum bladders) with enough advances in materials science. Skip the helium shortage, dodge the hydrogen debate and have lift scale favorably with size.
Not to mention the possible security vulnerabilities associated with having telemetry on keyboard events.

"their business connections" - there is no reason to think it wasn't her connections. She is a human with relationships with people at companies. She's been around the block a couple times. Her calling a few friends and having them call to bury a bad story about someone's private life (and the story is likely a lie, given who is publishing it) is something many reasonable people would do for their significant other.
The switch came with the W administration and the ramp up of conservative rhetoric.

> GPT is million times better

Agreed.

> It wasnt windows's fault its just that its update utility had to overwrite a part of MBR

It was a reasonable assumption that whatever drive Windows' was installed on already had a working bootloader installed, otherwise it wouldn't have been able to boot itself to do Windows Update. Windows did NOT have to override it.

This was not MBR fault. AFAIK Linux did NOT do the same thing as overriding, which is why it has separate `grub2-install` and `update-grub` commands. Once installed to a drive, `update-grub` will only change the simple config file it reads at boot. Perhaps both of them did override themselves when a bugfix or new feature was available, but I don't think Windows's bootloader changed much after any OS release.

Now, GPT/UEFI is a million times better in that aspect because it can allow easily multiple different bootloaders that don't have to know of each other's existence. But I blame Windows in MBR case very much.

Also, some though not all motherboards allow you booting from BOTH old-school MBR and newer GPT so you may not need to disable CSM and still eat your GPT cake. This may be useful if you e.g. have an old MBR drive with Linux and another GPT one with Windows.

You know, I’m surprised the term “Dad Joke” has managed to survive this far in this day and age, and hasn’t been replaced by the term “Parent Joke” or something.

I’m surprised someone hasn’t complained that the term “Dad Joke” somehow perpetuates the stereotype that women, and mothers, cannot be funny, or are regarded as funny as male peers.
What's the structure that your custom DB uses?
I seem to remember the BSDs being a lot more reliable for production use, versus Linux, back in around 1996 when HoTMaiL launched.

How did this work? Weren't they meant to be sealed and filled with helium?

Even if you could open a hatch on the bottom without too much leakage, was the plan for mechanics to operate inside the envelope wearing some kind of breathing apparatus?
Why are you comparing a BB rated bond to a cash flow from an American staple of consumption for a hundred years? Everyone knows more risk comes with higher yield. That fact doesn't make one or the other inherently better: just a different position on the risk/yield curve.

Publishing his location in real time affects his safety in a country where any whacko with a prior criminal history can get a gun. There certainly are plenty of people with serious grudge against Musk.

The data isn't "completely public". It takes non-trivial skill and effort to access this data.

I sure don't know how to do it.

It significantly rises the bar from "a whacko" to "a whacko with technical skills to access FAA monitoring system"
The article seems to fail to distinguish between "dad jokes" and "jokes for kids".

One of the main factors is that a "dad joke" is inserted in real conversation (Hi Hungry, I'm Dad", or an observational pun), whereas if it's set up as a fictional story ("at a funeral a man says 'May I offer you a word of comfort? Plethora'"), it's just a (kids) joke.

> What's incorrect at the anti extreme? In other words, what crypto-currency isn't a) burning down our planet and b) disproportionately rewarding early adopters?

It can just take a single example to invalidate that question and Nano [0] perfectly does so. Unlike the others, it is not 'burning down our planet', was not 'pre-mined' / 'pre-allocated' or ever did an ICO back when it was launched. sorry.

Now here's my question to you since I answered yours: Hence your support for the anti crypto-extreme: Are they all going to go away 100% guaranteed despite all the other scam projects existing and with looming regulations on the horizon?

Hopefully we'll get support within Rust/Cargo for easily rebuilding the rust-std from source with custom features as part of compiling a project. Then this legacy system support could simply become part of the official Rust distribution.
Subscribed (not on Discord). Glad to see! I've bounced off music theory but part of me knows that I would learn the hell out it if I tried to implement an engine (and corresponding interface) around it. I know many exist and I'd probably find through even shallow research that it'd be 100x harder than I'm imagining, but I wouldn't know half of what I know if I thought ahead like that :P

But as with reading this article, as an avid music lover I'm afraid to ruin how I feel about some of my favorite compositions.
The solution is obvious: cloud providers should mutually serve each other
Yeah. I'm thinking back to the early 70s. I was IIRC 7, trusted to handle major streets safely on my own, trusted to take the city bus safely on my own. (Although getting the bus to stop so I could get on was problematic! Typically I went to the bus stop with someone, but I would not be met on the other end.) Back then it was notable, now it would be a CPS call.

Even around 1980 an incident comes to mind--like 3am, walking down the street with a backpack on. The idea of getting my father up to take me to the rendezvous for the backpack trip didn't even occur to me. Now, what would happen? (I was IIRC 15 at the time.)
Hi. OP here. I also came across the battery issue but good to know about the speakers as well. Thank you.
Largely because we’ve lost social cohesion and pride, so that few are motivated towards civic good. The solution is purely cultural and doesn’t cost any money. But it requires shifting belief structures, which requires leadership and shared experiences… and that’s hard and rare to achieve.
> For one thing, languages are inherently inconsistent, so perhaps the better question is, why not?

Exactly.

My point was simply that we call them "Tedeschi" in Italy because it come from an ancient latin word that means "people" or "peasant" and it came to latin from a German word that meant "shepard" (or sth like that)

But the land has always been called Germany.

We use different names for different things and that's OK.

The name "Italian" was referred to a small area in the south of Italy millennia ago and then became synonim for the entire peninsula.

Names often have no real meaning, but how they came to be can sometimes be interesting.
Also, the child doesn't remember when they were younger and loved the joke.
Yes but there is a huge technology gap. example: Automakers need a lot more small low-power MCUs built on ~130/90nm process. A 14nm fab that started 2 years ago is never going to be producing those 130/90nm MCUs. Furthermore, the semi toolmakers that produce the tools needed to build 130/90nm chips stopped making those tools years ago. This is a rabbit-hole that just keeps going. The problem isn't going away soon or easily.

> especially people less comfortable with the terminal - don't feel confident installing a bunch of 3rd party zsh completions or creating a custom setup

are you telling us that your proprietary blackbox that asks my e-mail and sends telemetry data is better than open-source well-documented, widely-used, established tools?

> Lots of teams are using Fig to make internal scripts and CLI tools more ergonomic and discoverable.

can these completions be used outside of Fig?

i guess not, because this doesn’t make you any money?

> In my experience, writing custom shell completion scripts is not very much fun

yep, because nobody usually writes them, they’re autogenerated by whatever CLI framework you’re using

with Fig you write them and yes, writing autocompletions for Fig manually is better than writing Compdef manually

but again, nobody usually writes them…
I wouldn’t mind if it wasn’t priced so high (what isn’t these days).

Assets have downsides too. Insurance, taxes, maintenance, and general overhead in the sense that they are significantly less passive. I don’t get the “nothing backing it” part, maybe it’s not tangible but the brand here does have massive value and all but guarantees substantial gross sales year after year.
What about if something in the middle causes a failure? Does it have a git-bisect-like workflow to figure out the bad change?
Although I can feel my toy vs. necessary alarm going off (you can do live stuff on some truly awful hardware, you don't need the latest Mac even if your personality dictates as much), having stuff rack-mounted is a real help when it comes to keeping track of stuff and keeping your "builds" (literally) reproducible

In a less segmented environment (i.e. non-professional), having gear in a rack can also stop people playing with it.
Can someone describe how it's possible to auto-scale the CPUs on a database? How are CPUs effortlessly attached and removed from a running MySQL database?

It's disappointing they're discontinuing MDM services as well. I've been using Profile Manager and Apple Configurator to manage personal devices + family devices across my extended family. Looks like I should investigate Jamf Now as a replacement based on this thread.
The brand may not be a hard asset but I’d say it’s likely to hold its value better than plenty of hard assets (is an office building in San Francisco really less risky than Listerine?) and than lots of other royalty-generating intangibles at similar cap rates (will there still be any Neil Diamond fans alive in 20 years?)
Or just use git. It also has versioning in case you want to revert a change.

tl;dr edition of the article's lead sob story -

A 13-year-old boy on a bike and a big construction truck were both stopped at a busy intersection. The boy had come up to the intersection in the truck driver's blind spot, then somehow managed to fall off his bike - within the pedestrian crosswalk, but still in the truck's blind spot - and positioned so that the truck ran him over (inflicting fatal injuries) when the unsuspecting truck driver started moving and made a perfectly legal right turn.

It was full daylight. The story mentions nothing like inclement weather, nor (say) another boy pushing the first one down.

I'm sorry, but within the context of bike- and pedestrian-friendly infrastructure I have no sympathy here. To prevent a screw-up like this, you'd need trucks with no blind spots (a bunch of cameras, plus assistant drivers monitoring those?), or universal full grade separation for motor vehicles. Merely having separate lanes, with mil-spec concrete barriers protecting the bikes and pedestrians, would not be enough to save the kid in this kind of screw-up.

OR, maybe, there should be some sort of "Road Safety Test" for kids - where they have to demonstrate some minimal awareness of blind spots, skill at not falling down in traffic lanes, ability to notice & evade slow-moving vehicles, etc. - before they are allowed to be near major roads without close adult supervision?
>> Not sure if a P/E of 18.38 is so so attractive, it looks neither cheap nor expensive for something that will at best keep up with the (nominal) GDP growth

P/E is just an indicator (E/P) of what dividends could be. In this case the return is real and is over 5 percent. But it's not quite the same. As others have pointed out there is no physical asset behind the investment. OTOH it appears there is also no way to "cut the dividend" ever, so it's as solid as the brand.

There's a not totally unreasonable chance that tesla is 10x lower next year. That would mean his net worth is basically equivalent to the loan he would need. Seems pretty risky.
Little difference in weight loss != no benefit. Your A1C is likely to drop, and that's a huge benefit for pre diabetics with metabolic syndrome. Your cholesterol is also likely to drop, which can help reduce the risk of heart disease. Heart disease and type II diabetes are two diseases greatly affecting a large number of people and intermittent fasting appears to reduce their impact. That's a benefit in my book!

Tens of thousands of developers use Fig everyday and seem to really enjoy the autocomplete affordances that we've added.

That said, if you already are very comfortable in the terminal, some of the pain points that we're tackling might be less acute for you.
That’s the problem, not that many actually exist.
I assume you mean because the extra money that I'm putting into my house could make more money in the market so instead of a 13th payment, get gains in the market?
Not just automakers, and not just old fabs. Not everything needs the latest bleeding edge process. So, even then some of the old processes get updated to support larger wafers.

Ex: brand new 65nm fab:

https://www.electronicsweekly.com/news/business/bosch-opens-...

So, 10-15 year ROI easy, and I'm guessing that might stretch even further as the trend to ever smaller nodes slows. AKA I'm betting 2nm doesn't look nearly as aged in 2040 as 90nm looks today.

I'm British, so apologies if this is obvious to people more familiar with the constitution, but is this actually against the letter of the constitution? Have CCTV cameras run by the government/police been deemed to be unconstitutional (wrt the 4th amendment)?

It certainly seems like it's designed to get around something, but from reading the 4th amendment I don't really understand what. I assume it's from later interpretations by the courts?
> so unless you think Musk will use Twitter to boost Tesla’s price (suppressing bad news?)

Or bullying American politicians. Or simply preventing himself from being banned.
Wealth taxes and land value taxes seem like the most sane way to fund social programs. Extract a bit of value from the people who have runaway wealth (but not so much that their wealth can't continue to grow), and use it to help the economically downtrodden become more upwardly mobile (education, healthcare, basic social safety nets.)

Pair it with a hefty pigeuvian carbon tax and you could probably do away with income taxes entirely.

(A nondistortionary VAT to replace sales taxes and corporate income taxes would be nice as well.)
I see I thought that was the market cap.

Rigid airships are not full of helium (or hydrogen). The outer skin is for aerodynamics, not to seal the gas.

Inside, they have a series of gas bags affixed to the rigid structure that can expand or contract according to the pressure at altitude. At full altitude, those gas bags would expand to their full size and take up most of the volume in the airship, but there was still a lot of space around them (and inside the trusses) for storage, maintenance access, walkways, and so on.
Alternatively he stops being the whimsical "fun" billionaire that people find amusing, and starts being the tyrannical billionaire that people hate. This results in political backlash and a massive boycott of Tesla's consumer products.

To be clear: Elon buying Twitter doesn't necessarily trigger any of this. Elon using that influence to actually push Twitter around in ways that are "useful" to Tesla shareholders potentially does. For Tesla shareholders I'd say the risk here is much higher than any possible reward.
And to add, in some south-slavic languages, German people are also sometimes colloquially called "švabe", based on the region of Germany called Swabia. This is a bit silly, like saying "Texans" for anyone from United States.

Maybe I'm just seeing what I want to see, but I get the impression that Apple's approach to developing products can lead to very good highs but pretty poor lows considering the amount of money they could easily invest, I would also be somewhat hesitant with an Apple Cloud unless they had something actually new to bring to the market other than basically rent-seeking for people who want to develop (say) CI pipelines for their products.
My take on the Dad joke:

A “Dad” joke is usually characterized by relying heavily on dumb puns and wordplay. I now believe that this is not because Dads inherently like puns but rather that two aspects of child development happen to coincide, namely:

-Between ages 2 and 6 or so children often develop the ability to giggle uncontrollably in a way that is so utterly endearing that it practically takes your breathe away. It’s incredible and addicting and pure and wholesome and wonderful. But you have to work for it because with their rapidly growing, novelty seeking brains they rarely explode with giggles at the same thing twice

- At the same age the child is learning language and acquiring vocabulary. I believe that this leads to them especially enjoying puns and silly wordplay, because it connects so well with what they are spending an enormous amount of brainpower focused on.

The enormous positive feedback loop of sometimes being rewarded with joyous laughter in response to low-brow wordplay rewires the Dad’s brain. The kid will grow out of this but some Dads spend the rest of their lives chasing the Dragon.

So, when a Dad tells a “Dad joke”, they are really trying to rekindle those giggles from when you (or their child) was 4 and found nothing more hilarious than words

25 years ago, I worked on a team that built a full online retail brokerage in Tcl (including web page generation). It made me love the language as a developer, but the runtime performance on late 1990s hardware (especially pre-Tcl8) was pretty poor.

I've since reached for Tcl several times per year and enjoy it each time.
