This is run periodically via your favorite method. You can then boot off the backup destination drive later if needed (GRUB picks it up when plugged in). This seems to work fine for me.

BTW generally "broke everything" ought to be listed out, clarified, etc. so you can understand or document your system better. The notes you keep about it can help future upgrades complete with fewer issues.
mitxela did a great video on this topic recently and wrote a plugin for kicad to make the regular geometric layouts more organic.

> 'failed' state and the process itself leaving the accounting tables.

Once again, that cannot be done until the parent process consumes the exit status. That's what the zombie is there for. Zombies don't take up much space.

> Stuck mounts have a half solution (lazy unmounts) but even _that_ interface really also needs a timeout value after which operations on the target should be assumed to fail rather than return correctly.

These days most NFS etc mounts are "soft mounts", that is operations will eventually time out.

Lazy unmount doesn't really apply here, it makes the mountpoint disappear from the global namespace, but all existing open files remain untouched, and the mount lives as long as anything is still using it; it just removes the "entry point" to the mount.

On today's Linux, it's up to each filesystem to provide abort/timeout mechanism. For timeouts, this is the right design, as demonstrated by macOS complications with FUSE. I do wish there was a common way to make things abort.

There was a patch in circulation a long time ago, that could seamlessly switch all open FDs of any given mountpoint into a whole different filesystem named badfs. badfs would just return an error on any operation. As far as I know, that patch never got merged, probably because nobody ever got it working 100%.

That kind of a DoS would require a local attacker, and then the victim to access a mountpoint owned by the attacker. Using FUSE, you could get a lot of processes hanging like that, for sure. I guess you could trap a mail delivery agent, if you still had a system where mail was delivered to users' home directories.

However, forcibly aborting any FUSE mount is a single `echo 1 >/sys/fs/fuse/connection/NNNN/abort`, the only challenge is finding the right ID. (See https://github.com/bazil/fuse/blob/fb710f7dfd05053a3bc9516dd...)
there's another system i saw on here that uses the VPN api to monitor for saas adware connections in apps. i think it was developed in europe or was part of a research project.

the future of firewalls will be keeping your data in is my bet...
I'm sure it's very dependent on each person. Some people get tennis elbow, some don't.

The Thinkpad 760 I had only had a Trackpoint, so when I was using it as my main machine, I used it 8-ish hours a day. The last joint in my pointer finger was pretty sore by the time I stopped using it.
Good luck. I'll check in on this.

I also hope you're paying attention to some of the privacy concerns of Strava. Strava makes it stupidly trivial to stalk runners. Some famous runners like Molly Seidel (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2w_omUCVCs, starts at about 1:50) are bringing this up, and Strava hasn't done much to address them. "Features" like real time tracking, which may be a no-brainer to us in tech, are a huge safety liability to users.

And no, it's not as simple as "Why don't they just turn it off?" Self-marketing in a sport that gets little financial support is incredibly important, and can be done safely if the product managers are attentive.
Not a chance. Seriously, I'm if anything utterly paranoid about this sort of thing and this box is as secure as it ever was.
There will always be a delicate line to be addressed between free speech and moderation / censorship. There's a web layer, but pieces can also be extracted and shared in groups and feed in the app.

There is an option for publishers / site owners to natively add Kontxt directly to their site with a single line of javascript to give them an initial point of control and moderation (view only, comment, or user added highlights). However, sites can have multiple highlight layers with different privacy controls, so users can switch to another layer for discussion for something like research.

Privacy controlled layers are only accessible to those they're shared with and there's only one public layer per site. Laws will always be followed. And cruel behavior on the web will likely be addressed as it is elsewhere today. It's too early to have developed any firm policies around, but it's definitely important and will be watched and addressed as needed.

The flawed math behind Elon Musk’s Twitter deal
I'm just thinking about to keep a reusable metal straw around. Cleaning is a pita, you need the special brush but honestly it's still better than the paper straws. But maybe it's just McDonald's? Maybe the other fast food joints use something else, like a different kind of paper
> This seems inconvenient, and I don't understand why it is the default behavior.

Nobody made the conscious decision to kneecap you here: it's simply dangerous to treat one computer's hardware configurations the same as another. Backing up your home folder is your best bet, as it's relatively safe to "restore" after an install. It's up to you to have a bootstrapping script ready to get your system to the same place it was before it was borked.

This is one of the things NixOS would solve quite well, but unfortunately the software just isn't quite there yet, in my opinion. Your Nix install has two configuration files: a software config and a hardware one. Your software configuration is portable, you can use it to define things like users, user configurations, permission structures, desired global applications, themes, groups, system config and more. Your hardware configuration file is specific to the machine you're running, and is auto-generated when you install a system. This separation makes it really easy to "carry around your system" as a 10kb text file. The tough part is that it doesn't work very well with most desktop environments, and it's something of a pain in the ass to set up. One day I hope we get there though, because it really would be a best-in-class solution.
Wow that's bad news.
Damn. The Apple Silicon team must’ve been the best in the world of the last decade. Intel, AMD, Microsoft all looked at those engineers and successfully lured some of them them away. It’s not a coincidence that the M1 was such a revolutionary chip.
Never made any friends from College that stuck around. Maybe it is because I got a computer science degree. I think at the end of the day, you need to know how to play the social game as well as be competent to get ahead
I grew a 4x4 hydroponic garden in Seattle growing cherry tomatoes under a 400w hps bulb. It was awesome had a bumper crop until some of the tomatoes fell to the ground and I had a crazy fruit fly infestation. Good times
>> No you use the advisory bits when you map the memory.

Is that really what’s happening when we create another thread? That doesn’t fit with my understanding here. When i create a new thread, i expect its stack to be allocated before the break so mlock wouldn’t come into it. Even on a jvm with Xms smaller than Xmx (i.e. so the jvm could have to request to move the break and grow the heap to accomodate my new threads private jvm stack), I’m expecting you would have to explicitly request this behaviour somehow (because it’s quite unneighbourly and probably counter productive for most apps). I don’t know how you would do that, maybe there’s a call available under the unsafe packages?

I’m conscious I’m saying the jvm - i mean hotspot.

>> so it isn't unable to commit more memory while trying to handle an exception

Again this doesn’t fit with my understanding - you can receive a further OOME while handling an exception and that’s just bad luck.

>> Linux doesn't ignore even LOCKED does it? And it certainly can't ignore actual writes to pages

Sure but I’m going on the expectation that doesn’t apply here
An Aggregation of YouTube Lecture Courses
Pay for performance is a perfectly valid way to solve these problem if the outcomes are clearly attributable for the service provided, but consider cases like strategy consulting where the outcome of hiring a strategy consultant is hard to attribute.

One of the things I was interested about is problems where there is possible deniability and attribution ambiguity, in these cases my thinking was it is better to scope and anchor to a larger issue that might occur and align incentive towards a more holistic outcome rather than specific service. The futures approach was a general way of doing it which is agnostic of the problem in hand (though the specific implementation of it would inevitably be tied to the outcome you want in the end).

The doctor example is a common example I keep using since it is very simple to explain, it is purely for exploratory purposes and I did note that it is quite possible not all doctors and consultants might do this. My point was not to deride anyone but rather to just explore an idea.
I'm not ready to go back to C++ for this, but I know exactly what you're talking about regarding polymorphism. It's all magic and fairy dust for me, I'm really enjoying Rust. But once you want a dyn trait instead of a simple function, suddenly half of the magic doesn't work any more, and the language explodes into all riddles. (Interesting ones, I admit, and often there is some valuable insight at the end. But still a distraction.)

I guess as C++ veterans, we have to re-learn which approaches will work straight-forward, and which are the ones are asking for trouble. (I eventually found decent solutions for my problems that, while not the ones I had in mind initially, didn't require solving any hard puzzles.)

They require different design skillsets or experiences. Elden Ring and Zelda are designed to be more non-linear and they work, but have completely different strengths and focuses vs. a linear approach. More based on creating an engrossing world and mechanics that allow you to play most sections out of order and create your own adventure vs. the control you have over story nuances when you make a linear title (e.g. Half-Life 2).
I can describe my method that has worked well for a few decades but it might not be for everyone.

Before planning a backup I first ensure all the files I care about are isolated into unique directories not shared by anything I don't care about. e.g. /data/something_unique /opt/something_unique /home/username/something_unique and so on. something_unique just being a unique directory that contains anything or everything I care about. One could also define other shared directories in rsnapshot like /home/username/.config or the entire home directory if you have the disk space for it.

I then have rsnapshot installed and it will be a local snapshot of files I consider important enough that I want a few versions of. RSnapshot is just a perl script that uses hardlinks to reduce disk space usage of duplicate files. Rsnapshot is executed in crond. I rsync that snapshot over to a NAS. Rsync is also called by crond. If files are very important I will also copy them to a portable NAS and put it in my vehicle.

Anything not defined in /etc/rsnapshot.conf will be files I do not care about and will be treated as ephemeral just like the rest of the OS.

If one does not have their OS set up to be ephemeral (cattle vs kittens) then another lesser-secure option might be to keep your important files in a unique LVM volume and use lvchange to set that volume read-only to reduce the risk of the OS upgrade from touching it.

Yes, but that would actually be less secure because my phone number is quite public and I'd be a SIM swap attack away from someone being able to compromise this account in a way that I would not be able to easily recover from (and to lose my long time phone number in the process).
I like coffee a lot, but it does not have an effect on me. It actually puts me to sleep. My brother is the same so it may be genetic (but I did not do research on that).

I often drink coffee before going to bed, even strong ones. This always makes my parents and wife worried, despite the years.

I like the taste very much but if there is no available I am just sad and drink some water. For some time I was missing coffee at home and it took me some time to go shopping some, because lazyness and procrastination.

There are times I drink 6 or 8 espressos a day (without any special reaction), then days without coffee, then a few a day, etc. No withdrawal effects.
A side question for folks who work on these sorts of social media / UGC sites. Wouldn't a shadowban / deletion of messages be a lot less antagonistic as a way of dealing with problematic posts instead of instant and total account ban? I mean, if Reddit can shadowban so that your account still works, even if the posts go into the "ether", why can't Twitter do this? Instaban seems a bit... harsh, even if merited? Couldn't you combine shadowban with account ban if there's a persistent set of violation posts? Is there a practical reason why shadowbanning on twitter doesn't work?

I mean if we're going to use fairly simple approaches (keywords on ban lists or user-based flagging / reporting), then shouldn't step one simply be not allowing the post at all, instead of a retroactive instaban on the account after the post has been shared? To me, the simple way is delete the post, or put in a hold queue (warning the user), or at very least not actually share the post on a timeline. Warn the user, don't share the post, and/or delete the post. Then you can still have the desired effect of keeping the platform "safe". Am I missing something? I'm confused all around about social media practices, honestly.
Could this be a 3rd party twitter client that has been infiltrated? Maybe someone reused a session somewhere?

I'm assuming you are using unique passwords per application.
I wonder what the author thinks about the allegations that Putin was involved on the Russian Appartment Bombings [1]

What I read seems to imply that he would totally do it, as long as the risk of discovery was low, or could be properly "managed". And that if caught he would justify it by saying that "historically Russia was built on sacrifice" or some other platitude like that.

I'd say RE4 was a very well done linear game with solid gameplay. It definitely influenced a lot of games moving forward.
My point is, unless you are a lawyer, you can't trust anything they write about how they use your data -- they don't speak the same language as us.
is it possible that something that had api access did it?
You are way out of line.
It's kinda a shame that we're loosing the exploration side of the gameplay for set-piece focused linear adventure with loads of combat, which are dime a dozen nowadays, unlike exploration/platformers with a side of combat

In the days before the internet, you would write to local news and your legislative representatives instead of making noise on Twitter.

These days, local news doesn't really exist, and representatives will only listen to big campaign contributors. Social media has stepped in to fill that gap for the modern lower/middle class.
You only mention password, do you also have a non-sms based 2FA configured?
All my experience with Dreamweaver is many years out of date. I don't doubt that it's become slow.
It's not the prevailing opinion, but he's right.

There are a number of things needed before we get there though:
* AR glasses or contacts that are not intrusive
* AR glasses or contacts that can use prescription lenses
* Lightweight finger-less gloves that provide 23DOF, enough to model the human hand [1]. Gloves would need to detect finger positions through light sensors or nerve monitoring, as finger-less is needed so users can interact with real world
* Good spatial audio, ideally in over the ear (so they don't get dropped) ear buds that are used with the glasses/contacts for head tracking
* Ideally, a headset or something that measures user's facial muscles, allowing your avatar's face to mimic yours
* Belt or something that holds power and main processing, as well as tracks torso positioning
* The protocols needed to manage and exchange VR/AR digital assets
* The protocols needed to render those assets, ideally is a customizable way (I might want to see a realistic rendering, someone else might want a medieval fantasy spin)

If NeuralLink takes off then that could theoretically replace the above, but I'd bet the above will exist before NeuralLink is ready and approved for consumer use.

I'm interested to see how close Project Cambria comes to the above. However, my take at the moment is that it will be targeted at VR gamers and VR socializing, not AR. There is a huge market for VR applications, but AR has much bigger potential - while also being a harder nut to crack.

My hope is that this is all Open Sourced, or that Open Source teams get there first.

I don't suppose you'd like to expand on this argument or back it with any sort of substance?

Yes, absolutely, and I only use the web, no other kind of client, no apps etc.
not an astrophysicist so can't comment on the science directly. cost-benefit analysis in science funding is a really difficult problem. that being said, $85M buys quite a lot of science.
> you still need to mark functions as suspend and only call suspending functions from other suspending functions.

You restated the idea of function colouring without further elaborating why it is a problem.

If your thread can afford to block and want to call a suspend function, use `runBlocking`.
If your thread cannot block, having `suspend` in the type just saves you from a bug.
I agree Taiwan and China are different entities, looking at the acknowledgement of the paper: "This study was supported in part by the Ministry of Science and Technology under contract numbers

TeXmacs (www.texmacs.org), which is a finely crafted document preparation system realizing at the same time both the structured and the WYSIWYG paradigms.
It is vastly superior to all other document preparation systems. In particular it is superior to both TeX (in all its variants) and to Word, under all respects: conceptually, in the power that it affords in manipulating documents, in the ease with which it makes it possible to write, concentrating only on the content and yet having one's document in front of one's eyes.

Some of the Pre-Code films are very interesting, like Red-Headed Woman. While I am not a fan of the Hays Code, the restrictions did give rise to some interesting artistic circumlocutions, such as "gunsel."
