Yes, urban nature/parks is not exactly the same as being in a forest, or climbing a mountain. But neither is suburban green space! And again, unlike dense urban cores, suburban sprawl requires more destruction of natural environments, not less.

What exactly is it you are advocating for/against? If you want to live in “real” nature, like in a cabin in a forest, or on a ranch in the country, then go do that. Nobody is stopping you.

Edit: Just to put a concrete point on it, it now takes approximately an hour to get out of the suburbs from urban / downtown Dallas. Nature is further away than ever.

Edit 2: Of course you will find people on Twitter or whatever who want to “ban all cars”, but this is not a serious movement or position held by the vast majority of YIMBY/urbanism people. I think most of us would like exactly what you’re talking about: the freedom to let people do what they want on the land they own, and make their own choices as to what living arrangements best for them and their customers. Currently, this option is only denied to people wanting to build up, while suburban sprawl is allowed virtually everywhere. Where I live, Austin, TX, there are parts of our downtown central business district that are zoned for SFH only! It is absurd, we wouldn’t inflict this level of economic destruction on our worst enemies.

I use Calibre-Web, but the whole Calibre system is just plain awful. It's straight out of the 1990s in terms of UI and work flow. I'd like to replace it one day, but I haven't found anything better.

I also self-host an instance of Cyberchef[1] which is an incredibly cool web app that does a variety of data conversions and other things. No real point to hosting it I guess, but nice if you're working with private data.

You're right.

There are a few problems.

First, the gray beards that expect everyone to know "the basics" had built stuff so complex and convoluted that nobody can use it 100% correctly without their domain knowledge. It's fine, computers are complicated, but expecting everyone to keep it all in their heads is unreasonable. So people buried that stuff below a layer of abstraction, but that didn't solve the fundamental problem and so even these higher level tools are convoluted and cumbersome.

Then, you've got the people doing this on purpose to ensure that they are unfirable. This is pretty self explanatory, but there's a perverse incentive to overcomplicate your job so you come off as indispensible, it's like CIA and wall street lingo but for devs.

Of course I'd doesn't help that many people just go along with it for a paycheck.

You've got people that want to sell their cool shiny thing as a solution to anything and everything, who cares about the consequences. Everyone knows that these decisions ripple through time, but they don't care about that.

And finally, there's the guys that just don't know what they're doing, bit off more than they can chew, are in over their heads.

All of this leads to miles of technical debt, an industry made of it, increasingly unusable systems that require teams to understand and maintain.

I don't know that there is a solution. I don't know that it could happen any other way. But I do know that regardless of that, these systems cannot stand the test of time when built this way. If you want a future where computers serve humans and are ubiquitous, this path won't get you there.

I think there just aren’t enough reasonably solvable hard problems. All the low hanging fruit is taken, and the result is artificially complex solutions as a way for engineers to demonstrate craftsmanship.
Nice! The rendering is more polished than what I did a few years ago in another similar project: apply CycleGAN style transfer on Google Maps / OpenStreetMap tiles to redraw them interactively as old hand-drawn maps https://github.com/nathanvogel/deepmaps
Inform it's more advanced than Twine for obvious reasons :).
Another fair criticism. We will publish the benchmarks and make them repeatable (which most existing ones I've found don't bother to do). We hadn't done so because Tailscale isn't really seen as a direct competitor to what the Nebula project is doing, but if people want numbers, that's a thing we are happy to provide.

I currently use and host both, plex while non free is more friendly to less advanced users and has native iOS and apple tv apps (which jellyfin does not (the jellyfin ios app is a webview and dosen't always behave well for me))

There are 3rd party apps for jellyfin on apple tv, but it's just not as smooth of an experience as plex.

I'm hoping that jellyfin will push plex to get better, as some of the most requested features for plex have gone unanswered for years, which is quite frustrating for software that is paid.

In the boom time there's an unending appetite for mediocre engineers to inflate headcount, making managers look good (more reports) and companies look good (to investors). In the bust time, I don't think even the smartest people will be safe, and the top of the ladder may well be pruned more aggressively because they're expensive. Having positive reviews may protect you, but being high in the org won't.
How would that be any different than the people who get a degree in Petroleum Engineering (aside from the audience they are signaling) ?
In my opinion, the answer has always been to participate in group activities that cover something you're interested in, as it gives an easy starting point to begin a friendship. For me, it is either games or certain coding niches.

As a non-user of Twitter, I don't think its organization is conducive to easily finding friends - instead of focused individual communities, I believe it is more free-form (?) as a result of "the algorithm" determining your interests. Which could be considered a plus because of discovery as noted in the article.

I do see how you could extrapolate similar interests from other users based on their tweets or replies and bootstrap a friendship from that as the author mentions (kind of risky when dealing with anonymized opinions about controversial topics or just straight up lies), but it seems like much more work compared to participating in a group which you know already shares that interest.

To summarize, finding friends on Twitter is kind of like shooting in the dark.

However I initially missed the main point of the post because it was stuck towards the bottom after the list.

> translat(ing) these (online connections) into offline connections.

So now my question is why do you need to make your online connections offline? I have good friendships that are ongoing for years with people that I've only met online and have never felt the need to meet them offline. Note that I don't consider setting up an irl meeting online then meeting them irl as "making friends on the internet" unless I have been regularly interacting for a while already in somewhat private circumstances (like daily casual talk or playing games together).
If you are going to take your SKX diving, you probably want to have a watchmaker pressure test it once in a while and make repairs as needed. The seals dry out and water will get in.
The problem, IMO, is that once you have acquired a notation system is that you can’t/won’t make the jump the another one. So if you train beginners with eg. clairnote, they will have a hard time making the jump to a higher difficulty level. It’s not unlike a walled garden.
The CODASYL vs relational calculus thing certainly had an impact too.

The Segway is a strange case.

I grew up in Manchester, NH where those things came from, when I went there to visit in the 2000s I would see strange sights such as a Segway user driving pedestrians off the sidewalk or police officers testing them in the parking lot of Zayres, a failed discount store. (Looked like something out of Demolition Man)

Today there are numerous "hoverboard" devices that work the same as a Segway but are built somewhat differently. The Segway is also the canonical design for a self-balancing pseudo biped robot today.

The Segway is a case of patent law holding up innovation: Dean Kamen had a terrible idea about how to apply the technology that just didn't work and the patents just delayed people coming to market with products people want.

Right, some highly chromatic music would be better represented in this notation, but it seems a poor fit for traditional western music.

Also, a single, brief, look at a piano keyboard will expose why whole-steps and half-steps always being equidistant on the sheet music might not be a desirable goal. There are similar affordances on woodwinds as well. Maybe a string-instrument player could comment on usefulness for string music?

[edit]

I'd also be interested in seeing examples of transposing in Clairnote; all of the examples in TFA were in the key of C and I don't have an intuition for how easy/hard this would be. As an amateur clarinetist I was often handed oboe music...
Disclaimer: I work at Backblaze but more on the backup client side that runs on laptops, not in the datacenter storage side.

> Is there a failure list for write heavy drives?

To be clear about what these drive failure stats are and what they are not: Backblaze runs a data storage service with about 214,000 hard drives in it right now. We don't run any specific tests or induce issues on purpose FOR the drive failure stats, we just report what occurred in our datacenter.

Sometimes readers think we're carefully running a "study", but it's more just what we have experienced as honestly as we can offer it up. If the reads and writes and seeks our drives experience matches your particular application, great! Or maybe it is just interesting to read.

Now, we do save (and publish) all the raw data, and some other awesome people out there have done various analysis on it, which always makes us happy also. You can find the raw data here: https://www.backblaze.com/b2/hard-drive-test-data.html At this point it goes back almost a full decade.

Went through so many of these systems and keep coming back to keycloak exactly because of its monolithic architecture and authorisation services.

There are so many great things in keycloak, I very much like SPIs and authorisation services (uma2).
It depends on your specific needs and is difficult to characterize in hypothetical. I imagine that it would probably involve Hare's native tagged unions, though.
I self host headscale as my control node of my tailscale vpn so no sign ins required, I just give keys out to anyone I want in my vpn.

My problem is the client doesn't support multiple servers, so I can't have a work vpn and a home vpn, not even with an easy toggle - you have to run tailscale with different conf options for both. Changing namespaces also isn't easy, so having friends and family segregated even on one server is also a pain point.

not having to generate, manage, and distribute wireguard secrets and configurations was good enough reason for me to switch.

Tailscale also provides a "magic DNS" service which lets you resolve your Tailscale device names without setting up unbound etc, and which can relay other requests through to your pi-hole or unbound or whatever, which can then listen only on the tailscale IP address, so no need to run an open resolver or deal with source IP filtering.

e: also, you can share devices between tailscale users without generating, managing, distributing wireguard secrets. You send your pal/partner/kid a link and they can access your fileserver or raspberry pi webserver or pihole server for themselves wherever they are.
True multimedia is a lost art. We had it back in the 90s when software came on discs and it was a high-density, polished product that combined text, audio, video, and interactive elements on the same page. The internet taking over turned everything back into text, and then as bandwidth grew the only thing we thought to use it on was higher and higher bitrate video.

When I was a kid I thought the future was going to be fully-integrated data. Like I would be able to pause a movie and click on anything I was seeing to get more information. Click an actor, get his bio and interviews about the movie and bloopers. Click a vehicle and get its model. Click a special effect and see how it was done or an animal and learn about that animal. Imagine watching Lord of the Rings and being able to instantly read the original lore of any object, location, or character just by clicking/tapping it. Hell, even the smallest things can radically change your experience. Imagine if Wikipedia articles had appropriate background music. I guess there's just no market.
Disclaimer: Former Red Hatter but worked on OpenShift, not Keycloak

Working as a person providing commercial support for open source projects, I promise it doesn't actually work that way. Incentives are entirely for creating good documentation. Having crappy docs only hurts project adoption for paying and non-paying customers, increases the support burden, and wastes the time of your employees (who are the primary consumers of that documentation).

Usually documentation isn't great because writing (and maintaining!) good documentation is really hard. It's a continual effort and it takes engineer time away from bug fixes and feature dev, two things for which there is never ending demand for.

Edit: Pro-Tip: With Red Hat projects (like Keycloak, OKD, etc) it's always worth looking at the RH product docs as well as "open source" docs. For example if you use OKD, check OpenShift docs as well as OKD docs. You do (unfortunately and I wish they'd remove this) usually have to log in to a Red Hat account but you don't have to pay. You can create a free account and use that.

That isn't my point here. The point is the critical need for mental health services to help some women deal with having an at-home abortion. It can be trauma inducing for some women. You can't pretend it simply doesn't exist when studies clearly indicate otherwise and then simultaneously say others are shifting the goal posts when you are doing just that.
Yes. Some banks still run COBOL behind the scenes here.
So, if you have a company that depends on uptime, then pay the people doing the maintenance programming / sysadmin twice as much as the normal developers since they don't get to play with the new thing, they are much more likely to have to deal with things at odd hours, and need to be promoted based on keeping the business running.

I do agree on the micropackages.

What I keep daydreaming of is a package manager that resolves and download packages, but doesn't automatically grab transitive dependencies. I don't even want it saying, "Hey, we need to grab these 15 other ones, too, is that OK?" I don't want to hide the pain of huge dependency graphs like that; I want to feel it acutely. Give me an error message saying, "Oops I couldn't add FancyPackage because it depends on X, Y and Z transitive dependencies," and send me on a fetch quest. And I want the whole community around the language I'm working in to feel it acutely like that. That way we're all in the same boat, and collectively incentivized not to create the problem in the first place.

This is very cool, but SATA ports are what I'm looking for. 5x SATA is good, but running raidz2 on that feels wrong. 6x or 8x are good breakpoints for rolling your own NAS.

I was also looking forward to the Radxa Taco as that's the other board that allows for good Ethernet I/O and more than 4 SATA, but I ended up just getting an entire CPU/RAM/ATX Mobo instead.

Maybe there's something hacky you can do to split the SATA ports in half to get up to 10 SATA at the cost of speed, but that doesn't feel right either.

I feel like we are so close to dirt cheap yet high performance NAS with these carrier boards. If only there were RPi compute modules with ECC RAM.
Amazing! He's done it again, I am blown away! Thanks you very much for this unmatched level of documentation quality!

"schema.org" is a useful play on the semantic web, both in terms of a markup language that ordinary people can stand to write.

When it first came out my thought was: great, this is something on Google can consume, but technology caught up with it. What's interesting about it is that it's not just a suitable language for marking facts but it also helps Google build a training set for something that can extract data from pages that aren't marked up.
A little confused by what you mean. TTRPGs were not originally about tactical combat (old RPGs were very lethal so combat was a fail state), and wouldn't tactical combat (rather than the RP) make the game more soloable (lots of video games are just the combat part of an RPG)?
I am concerned about the incredible concentration of money and resources into a few academic institutions. Obviously Stanford is an incredible school, but I am not sure Stanford will do more with $1B than 10 2nd tier schools would do with $100M each.
The main "problem" I see this notation style as trying to "solve" is that the standard 5 line western notation is built around a very strong affinity and "default" of the western diatonic scales. For any key/mode, if you're within that pattern then relationships of notes and notation is very clear. This is also enforced by the note names themselves, with A to A being a Aeolian/natural minor scale that fits into this same pattern.

It's interesting (and useful) to step outside of this default, but IMO in for a penny in for a pound; there really should be a commitment to a complete separation, at least as a "default". The examples are trying to connect a notation decoupled from the diatonic scale back to that same diatonic.

Even if you do stick with the other "assumptions" made here:

- 12 equal tones per octave
- octave-equivalent
- divisive rhythm

IMO you should change the note names. Numbers would be preferable to me, although maybe confusing given the use of numbers in western music analysis. Perhaps O-Z?
The amount of energy we use is expected to increase in 30 years. The percentage of that from coal is expected to go down. Great, right?

No, we are basically on a path to burn the same amount of coal in the future (but a larger percentage of our energy will come from other sources).

I’m not a doomer but we aren’t taking this issue seriously at all. The policy solutions exist but the political power isn’t there. I’m starting to think our best chance is a technological leap in carbon capture.

Bombas socks in particular annoy me, because for that price you can buy Darn Tough which are actually amazing socks, better than anything else, and made entirely in the USA. Bombas is just a lot of expensive graphic design and marketing on top of socks ordered through a rebrander on AliExpress from China.

These companies always annoy me, even though I'm presumably their "target demographic" because I happily pay more for quality. The thing is, I actually buy one, test it for quality, and if it's not there I move on.
The whole point of a tech company is to pay engineers $X and find a way for them to create some over-unity multiple of $X in value.

If the problem is “this incentivizes engineers to make each other deliver more value”, that sounds like not a problem (and opens everyone up for increasing $X).

It’s a problem when you start to see your fellow employees as the competition instead of your actual competitors being the competition.
