Every article that states you can save a small amount of money by doing something is tacitly saying it's your own fault if you're poor. You ate too many avocadoes, you didn't make your own coffee, you didn't turn your TV off at the wall. It's corporate PR to shift responsibility for the cost of living from billion dollar company profits to individuals who are already struggling.

Journalists who write those articles should be banned from being published forever.
Yeah. The author is way off here.

Another way you can quickly find big offenders is by using an infrared camera. I found various things in my house that are putting off a ton of heat when doing nothing (and using electricity to do it). My 10-year-old speakers with a built-in amp, for example, absolutely glow on infrared even when sitting there inactive 98% of the time. Now they are on a switch.
> "The problem is not so much that selinux is too complicated (it is as complicated as it needs to be)..."

Completely disagree, if the target users are advising each other to disable it... then the tool is definitely more complicated than it needs to be.

Using tools that don't hide any complexity are very painful to use. It feels like the creator doesn't care about the user and put no thought into the display of information or workflows of the tool.

Solving a complex problem with a perceived complex tool is relatively easy... don't hide any complexity.

Solving a complex problem with a perceived simple tool is difficult... hiding complexity at the right time, revealing functionality it based on the user's intentions and experience is not easy but greatly appreciated.
I can see this working if Khan World School sought accreditation in a large jurisdiction like Ontario, Canada.

In general, all the electricity consumed by an electrical device gets converted into heat. If your GPU uses 250W of power, it generates 250W of heat. If your whole computer draws 1kW from the wall, it generates 1kW of heat. If your little raspberry pi and its power supply together draws 15W from the wall, it generates 5W of heat. A 1500W electrical space heater converts 1500W of electricity into 1500W of heat.

So yeah, you're not wrong.
Fast didn't make it to market. I would see two ways that Bolt would be a success:

1. Grow with Big Commerce
2. We see a hard push to headless commerce, and Bolt becomes the "Shopify of Checkout" or something similar specifically for the headless use case.

how did you get 500w of idle use. that does not make sense. could you please post your table. i have my pc all the time on and some other things and not even close to that.
If you don’t have a Kill-a-Watt device, you would at least feel 100W waste heat.
So your position is that a majority of people in the UK are so desperate for an extra £2.5 a month that they're willing to follow asinine advice like this?

People living under bridges would scoff at that much less the population of an affluent, technologically and image obsessed culture like the UK.
IIRC, a kWh of electricity is about 3x more expensive than a gas kWh. You’re correct if your heating is electric (resistive) though.
Gaming desktops are extremely inefficient. My new AMD GPU claims to be using 30w while at 0% utilization. You also have all the fans which don't turn of when they really could half the time. As well as often multiple hard drives plugged in.

It's just that no one really cares about power usage on a desktop because its plugged in and doesn't cost all that much if you turn it off while not using it. I think modern windows may even try to automatically suspend the system to actually turn the gpu and fans off.

You are right, but your heating system is probably cheaper (unless you have simple electric radiators).

If you have a heat pump, it will generate about 3W of heat from 1W of electricity, so it's 3 times more expensive to heat with standby devices that with your heat pump.

If you heat with gas, it's much cheaper per kWh than electricity, but I'm not sure what the ratio is.
I managed to write a script to build a xstack command, that was great.

I recently tried to build a command to automatically add a silent audio track on inputs, while also adding pause and concatenate 300 small videos, all of this in a single command, but I still have a lot of trouble understanding how stream selector work.
Very true - To be honest at the point I knew the house consumption and hadn't yet clamped individual devices I had expected to find a single culprit like that, or even a faulty device with earth leakage that was affectively dumping the current for no real purpose.

I should have also pointed out, I really do wish more devices would have more physical power switches where it makes sense - As an example the washing machine has a touch sensitive main power button, yet our tumble dryer (same manufacture & design) has a more physical on/off switch - The former uses a decent amount of standby power, the second uses none, the only real purpose I see is a slightly more "premium" feel to the washing machine.
I don't use it anymore since I find CLI faster, and am starting to migrate to Nomad, but my main gripe with Portainer was the spotty compose support, that I basically had to write them outside, launch them, and then have them show up in Portainer, kind of defeating the point of the frontend.

If the compose support in this is better I could see the value for people just dipping their toe in.
That doesn't sound right:

1) Obviously the price of gold will perpetually increase - there is an official policy of low single digit annual inflation. The price of everything is expected to perpetually increase unless it an obsolete good. It isn't like gold bugs are even a little unusual in observing this.

2) I thought the point of gold bugs generally to spruik gold as a speculative gamble on the theory it will go up like crazy.

Note that as an investment gold does pretty well, it usually posts "real" price gains YoY. Or, for people who believe more in reality, the rock stays about the same and official inflation stats undercall asset price inflation every year like clockwork. Gold bugs are the ones who think that is unreasonably poor performance.
Thoughts on EDI integration using Stedi
Hi,I'm a software developer at an e-commerce company and we are interested in exploring the EDI side of the business.

There seems to be a lack of up to date tools and libraries that help you build something from scratch and it's no easy task to tackle for a small team. The most promising avenue of developing our own product might be from using Stedi and the tools that they offer to their customers.

The reason I'm writing this is to ask about your experience with Stedi or other alternatives. How easy is it to integrate? Did it satisfy your needs? Is it worth the money?Any feedback from a developer or from a company that used their toolset is very valuable.
> The problem is not so much that selinux is too complicated (it is as complicated as it needs to be)

I disagree.

> but that we all run software we don't understand.

I fully agree.

My disagreement lies in the fact that you've described the problem, but are proposing that some software (SELinux) that fails to solve the problem is somehow good.

SELinux might be a perfect tool in an ideal utopia where everyone understands all the software they run, but that isn't the real world, and having a tool that works in a theoretical world isn't particularly useful.

Either SELinux is applicable to the real world, or it's not useful and not really fit for purpose.

This isn't a "blame game" - it's not about figuring out why things are bad (no-one understands their software components), nor blaming SELinux (it hasn't caused these problems, it's just failing to mitigate them). It's about figuring out how to improve that situation. Does SELinux do that effectively?
Random trivia: Microsoft explicitly added the space in "Program Files" to ensure developers know they need to handle spaces in paths
You might not. Given enough fans on the case they basically always feel cold. Mine isn't particularly crazy but at 100% utilization it would be using about 400w and it feels cold on the fan exhausts. You'll notice the room heat up though.

So much this. Right behind you there.
MJ played basketball year round (along with other sports). He was one of the first players to put a 'for the love of the game' clause in his contracts [1]. When you saw MJ playing golf or baseball that was less about him taking time away from basketball, and more about being a ruthless competitor at pretty much anything.

Larry Bird may not have fit the athletic build, but he absolutely practiced year round. He was famously discipline about shooting daily, etc...

Players like the above were great because they loved the game. It was part of them, and in the case of Bird, his body paid the price. The advances that have been made (when to practice, when to rest, nutrition, etc...) let players play and practice year round with a structure that also lets them play longer careers.

90% of the places I've worked, it's either been turned off or blindly hammered with audit2allow until SELinux shuts up.

Mostly because the "admins" are too lazy to do things the right way (non-standard file paths, ports, etc) or create/change the actual required context/labels. I'll admit that like anything it can be cumbersome at first and frustrating to learn, but it is helpful.

"Yes" and "who knows". Fast had a decent product but just didn't find market fit. It's not unheard of for a cohort of competitors to find different market conditions but it's definitely a bad sign. I think they're trying to occupy a very small niche in between pure payment providers like Stripe and holistic e-commerce platforms like Shopify. The idea is compelling but idk how the economics will work with such a small addressable market.

Uh, this seems incoherent. You're calling the group that's calling for avoiding the worst consequences of climate change "ostriches". Aren't the ostriches the people who advocate keeping current emissions trajectories while ignoring the consequences that'll have on the lives of billions of people?
As someone who is relatively new to the Redhat ecosystem, what exactly is the purpose of SELinux? If you only run trusted applications why do you need it?
Do you have stats on this? I've developed coffee makers and other appliances. Yes, there's often a mode where the boiler keeps warm for some amount of time after the first cup is made. The first cup can take minutes to heat up, and the second is often much shorter. Then there's a certain amount of time where the preheat is left on, and eventually it's turned off if the coffee maker isn't used again. Different models/makes have different algorithms and modes, but this is a common pattern. There are energy conservation standards which also come in to play, so unless we're taking about a commercial machine, I don't think anything current will just keep the preheat on forever.
guys, this is great. I'm just thinking of how much time it can save our R&D. This NoCode platform rocks. already signed to the Beta!
One minority data point here.

I teach at a university in Japan. I have been teaching my classes exclusively online—live using Zoom—for more than two years, and overall the experience has been better than with the in-person classes I taught for many years before. The class discussions have been meatier and more focused than in person, and the students have been turning in better papers.

I recognize that the results would be different in other situations. I am fortunate to teach small classes of motivated students with good study skills. And as one of the “very online crowd,” I might have been able to adapt to online teaching better than some others.

But the big revolution of online learning is the opportunity it gives for people to take part in interactive classes regardless of their location. Yesterday I taught a graduate seminar with fourteen students, eight in Japan and six in China, including two in lockdown in Shanghai. Everyone was able to take part actively. Starting next Monday, my other graduate class will shift from afternoon to morning Japan time so that a student who is in Mexico and unable to return to Japan can take part in real time. This past Monday, one of the other students in that class was in COVID quarantine near Narita Airport but was able to participate fully in class.

Until recently, it was assumed that the only way to conduct interactive classes in real time was for the teacher and students to all be in the same physical location. If students couldn’t get to campus for whatever reason, they were excluded. Online education opens up educational opportunities for many people who couldn’t participate before.
Well I have been playing around with Wayland + Sway the last month. I like it but there are some caveats. For example I end up modularly picking the tools I want to use with it. So by default I think there is swaylock and then there is waylock but a few times I got back to my seat and the locking application had crashed, exposing my session to my co-workers. That ain't the desired effect. I resorted to physlock which swaps to tty and allows to disable things like echoing of kernel messages and sysrq. It has yet to crash. Also, all of this relies on PAM and according to the OpenBSD devs PAM is a mess.
It definitely reeks of a developer-driven idea. It's tight, efficient, fulfils the most complicated technical problem in ecomm in a tight package. But does it actually jibe with shopper behavior and maximizing revenue? Probably not.
I imagine a static, non-flexible screen that you're not supposed to put any pressure on is a very different problem from a flexible, constantly moving glove which is also used to push buttons, grab stuff, etc.
That's pretty funny. When I checkout I don't care if it's Stripe, Shopify, Square, or the business owner's nephew processing my transaction. Why in the world would I make shopping decisions based on who the payment processor is? It's like choosing stores based on which point of sale terminals they bought.
Why would microwave oven clocks, tumble-dryers, dishwashers use a considerable amount of power when not in use? Surely there is a LED light but that should be tiny, and keeping the time should be even tinier.

I'm trying to follow the transition of Beastyqt from SC2 to AoE4, and they are very different games. I still don't understand AoE4 to well, but IIUC in AoE4 there are no nukes that destroy your whole army in an instant, so you must watch every single army continuously to avoid traps like in SC2.

Anything involving transitive closure, for example. Say you have a directed graph, encoding an edge from `x` to `y` as `edge(x, y)` (or as a triple `(x, edge, y)`, and you want to find all vertices reachable from `a`. In standard Datalog, you'd have two rules `reachable(x, y) :- edge(x, y)` and `reachable(x, z) :- reachable(x, y), edge(y, z)`, with the second being the recursive rule.
I loved games as a kid, but can't stand them anymore. This goes for real sports like baseball, and for eSports like StarCraft or Counterstrike. I would far rather spend time building a business, learning construction, or hanging out with my family.

Inadvertant bugs are the last thing I worry about in the javascript (node) ecosystem.

Exactly! Some people look at me with disgust for running an inefficient old AMD PC as my home file/print/backup server, but it's made the coldest room in my house very comfortable during the winter months. There are no central heating vents in this room so I would be using electric heat regardless, it just so happens that my heater is also filling an important technical role as well.
One issue with computable numbers is that computable analysis is a far more complex subject than real or complex analysis since limits or upper bounds do not preserve computability. Similarly, the continuity of computable functions means that one need a more complex framework to even speak about discontinuity.

I also worked at a run of the mill state university as a teaching and CS/IT assistant.

It was well known there was a side hustle for some of that. And certain proctors would at times be told to drop it if they pressed. It was notoriously an issue with the non english speaking population. They would show up with an id that was clearly not them, proctors would be told to just let them take the test, same student would still be at classes months later. Though to be fair foreign students and schools chasing that money is probably its own kettle of fish.

The serious question: What message do you want me to pass on to our leaders back in 2022?
Hmm. I think I need to do some measurement on my TV setup.
I think the most important thing is that the commit message should capture the high level intent of the change. I write "intent", because the actual effect and "intent" can differ, and commit messages are immutable. It's fine, as long as you recognize that the commit message is there to capture original intent. You often see "Fix bug #1234", but you rarely see "Introduce bug #1234".

The other stuff about using consistent tense, capitalization, punctuation, etc... is important, but secondary.
