I'm not arguing that people were passing themselves off as dumb, I'm saying that when there is little relevance to the outcome of the test it could have a significant impact. (There is about 5 years between being tested and getting called up so many people were aware there was a high chance of never having to enlist when they were testing). I know that I would probably try a lot harder to do well if I knew it would be the difference between an officer level function or washing jeeps.

In terms of restoring from backups: "Be sure to stop your application before copying the database into place"

This intuitively feels right to me, but I'd be interested to understand the mechanics behind it. What can go wrong if you ignore this advice and use "mv" to atomically switch out the SQLite file from underneath your application?

My hunch is that this relates to journal and WAL files - I imagine bad things can happen if those no longer match the main database file.

But how about if your database file is opened in read-only or immutable mode and doesn't have an accompanying journal/WAL?

Bruh, get real. TikTok is filled with women complaining about dating. Why not just admit what is staring you in the face? There is an entire segment of the universe that just responds to those videos.

And there is plenty on TikTok that is good.

But even if you can "train" it, the problem is that it's scientifically engineered to keep your scrolling. I think that part you missed.

Watch Wall-E where everyone sits in special "TikTok" chairs, have food delivered to them and the screen continually scrolls. That movie was before its time man.

Watch here: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yw7WAq_GZY8]

Unfortunately, you will not get the message until you have to go out with friends that are tuned out to you because they're constantly scrolling TikTok on their phones.

(And yes, I have installed TikTok for weeks and months at a time and always ended up deleting it and washing down my phone. Even after "Training" it.)

Fabian Giesen's always excellent blog has a post about various ring buffer implementations: https://fgiesen.wordpress.com/2010/12/14/ring-buffers-and-qu...

He has a companion post about a "magic" ring buffer that uses a virtual memory mapping to make a ring buffer where you can always address the entire sizes as contiguous memory, but I think it has a bit of minor bit rot in the linked implementations. https://fgiesen.wordpress.com/2012/07/21/the-magic-ring-buff...

> References, at least in C++, are a horrible idea. Without an IDE, I have no way of knowing if a function can overwrite my local variable.

Total hyperbole. If you don't use an IDE or an editor with plugins, that's your problem.

Also, I don't see how pointers and references are any different in this regard. Both can be const or non-const. Your 'ref' keyword would't achieve anything.

Absolutely, with training and hard work.

To be fair, `sudo curl | sh` is completely different than `sudo curl`.

In one command you pipe the output to `sh` which will run whatever instruction it receives. In another command you just ask for an output from `curl`, doing so should not cause any side effect than the output action itself.

Decentralization is an _ethos_ that _can be found_ in crypto but you have to look for it, which means you care about it. If you don't care, fine, don't bother with it.

Meanwhile decentralization is actually an excellent measurement of the honesty of a given crypto scheme, and surprise surprise, only a few projects are willing to put decentralization before profits. But they do exist, just like there are a few tech cos that aren't extractive ad machines (not many).

Not sure what “connectivity will decrease” means in practice, but I’d see problems like pages refusing to load over multiple refreshes, texts not sending, or iCloud data (messages, photos, etc) simply not updating until I switched the service off.

I’m not as convinced as you that these problems are inherent to the service, and I’m holding out hope for what Private Relay looks like when it emerges from beta.

Not egregious - annoying. Unusual for Apple. I don’t want to use a service that spits alerts at me as I walk around the city.

There's many people saying that other platforms cannot be trained or at least they don't notice it. Well, that's the point. For you to not notice.

You can see this firsthand by not following/subscribing/etc to anyone on these platforms and seeing the algorithm train and change as you slowly consume content.

At a certain point, you will even have your default feed settings changed as if you were following a modest amount of people.

Many platforms hide these feed settings by default so that you consume without realizing it. Some notable examples of this are Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube. You won't even notice you're being manipulated until you check your settings again. Ever wonder why certain things like stories, shorts, or reels all of a sudden are being shown from people you don't care about? Well, now ya know.

The one thing I believe is "uplifting" about TikTok is that the power is being shifted to the individual creator rather than the big six media conglomerates. Instead of a couple hundred channels, there's thousands. But the problem with that is there is an infinite amount of content to be entertained with. America is already a big shopping mall with everyone holding out their credit cards. This makes more of these channels advertise even more shit we don't need in our lives with the impression that it's personal or everyday when the creator simply needs to survive and put food on the table too.
Indeed and in my experience this has been more reliable/predictable than the official backup API. The official backup API can get "stuck" on a very large and hot database because it, essentially, has to start from scratch if a page is modified. VACUUM INTO doesn't have this problem.
This surprises me. I was under the impression that SQLite backups run inside a dedicated transaction in order to avoid this.

> A service that says 'here is an alternative to our service'?

I actually see this quite a bit. I think the reason for it is that it's a good way to show complexity or moving parts that can break in a process, where the marketing service is just a drop in and start. We can see the SQLite backup process here's and it's not too bad, but we can also see there are a few things that can go wrong that I'm sure litestream takes care of and would allow us to avoid any issues.

For example, backing up the DB onto the local disk before copying it could fail due to lack of disk space, and them we have to deal with the notification and fix for that. I'm sure litestream is a 10 minute setup that handles a lot of intricacies like that.
> Bruh, get real. TikTok is filled with women complaining about dating. Why not just admit what is staring you in the face?

I’ve never see a video with a woman complaining about dating on TikTok. In years of use.

This is an article by a Koch supported organization. They are very blatant they want to remove all regulation and are behind climate misinformation. The real reason we have a problem is that Abbott was not maintaining their factory all the while doing stock buybacks.

The reason we have an FDA is because before that babies would get milk with worms in it and die. There is no free market solution to a dead baby. You can’t just say “whoops, I guess I will buy a different brand next baby.”
The Intel parts that perform similarly to their Apple counterparts need at least twice as much power (and cooling). There’s no magic in either.

I find the different balances of performance and efficiency cores interesting. I’d love to have a lot more Icestorm cores on a Mac to play with background tasks that don’t need the firestorm ones.

On the Intel side, I’m also disappointed by not having the option to implement the missing instructions in software.
Anyone who has worked for a company that has gone from “fat and happy” to “how are we going to stay afloat” has seen this.

Hercules Sales = sold Surplus on Yonge at Wellesley. The strip around there had Electro Sonic, Radio Trade Supply, Paramount Equipment and 2-3 small surplus and parts sellers.

Efrem Kohn came from Israel in the mid 60's and his Uncle Frank and Peter Eben who owned Active Machinery gave Efrem(Freddie) one of their store fronts = Active Surplus.

The surface mount assembly also made parts salvage by hobbyists a waste for most people. Now there are only Creatron and one other place on College. I had 7 stores in 1985, closed the last in 2002. I was Parts Galore, a few remember me at trade shows, but I went into mining in 1995 and sold my company in 2018 and retired.
It's the same reason you ask "Hey what are you up to" when you first call someone on the phone.

Christ I hate when people do that. It's like they want to be the arbiter of whether I'm using my time wisely. If you call someone up you should tell them what you want and let them decide whether they want to participate.
It is worth noting that the Basque Country and Navarre have a special regime inside Spain, which roots back to the medieval _fueros_, going as far as having their own independent tax agencies. The rest of the autonomous communities have a lot of competencies devolved from the state (education, health, etc.) but are much more controlled by the central government.

I'm so dubious of any commercial product with a free tier. They exist as a sales funnel not a gift to users. A few products (Sentry is a good example in this space) offer an open source, self-hosted option. Software is free and you take on the operational cost yourself. If I'm an enterprise I assume I'm paying thousands a month and just do a cost-benefit analysis on whatever is in the market knowing that developer hours are wildly expensive.
> Transportation. Detailed transport analyses (based on UK road and rail networks) were undertaken to calculate distance costs and CO2 emissions for the distribution of rock dust from source areas to croplands. We used the GLiM database for the UK distribution of basalt deposits and the 2019 land cover map (Supplementary Information) to calculate transportation distances, cost (£ t−1 rock dust km−1) and emissions (tCO2 km−1) from potential local rock sources to cropland areas, together with UK road and rail transport networks. Spatial analysis was undertaken with least-cost path algorithms from the ArcGIS software.

Yea, it sounds like the model took this into the account, maybe the assumption that rock sourcing could rely on mines within the UK. If so, given the size of the UK, if the majority of transportation is by train and EV over UK distances, this might not be an issue.

I worked at a small casino that was owned by the "state lottery" (it was in Canada and operated by the federal government but via partner provinces).

An old lottery name was changed from Super 7 to Lottomax and old promotional supplies had to be trashed. There were piles of cheap thin pens that had big 7 as part of the pen at the top.

We casually gave them out at the casino but them it happened. People freaked out and wanted a dozen. "Can I get two more for my grandchildren" and "Can we have more than one!". It was nuts.

That jogged my memory I recall now we also had free pens at the player's counter where people could sign up for a loyalty card. So it wasn't like free pens were unusual. Maybe the loyalty program registered as a cost in people's minds.

> I always cringe a bit when people insist they need 6 cores “so they can have discord and Spotify open while they game”.

I mean, they're not wrong. I have Discord sitting open at the login screen and it's burning 10% of a core. Run a few Electron apps and your core2duo suddenly becomes a core1uno.

> Playing a video and writing a document

Using what? VLC + notepad, or Chrome + YouTube + Google Docs? There's a huge difference.

Discord gets a core, Spotify gets a core, Chrome with a few webapps open gets a few cores. That leaves 1 or 2 for a game if you're lucky. God forbid you also try to stream to Twitch. I'll cut the rant short here. You're right though; you should cringe if they insist on 6 cores, instead of 8 or more.

Bloated software is the problem. The worst part is that efficient alternatives exist (Discord -> Ripcord, Spotify -> spotify-tui) but they're against ToS and can get you banned from both services. From what I hear Discord is a lot more likely to ban you. I've not heard of any Spotify bans. But as a user, even if you know the problem, your only choices are to risk an account ban, or buy an "overpowered" CPU to run your chat client.

EDIT: Am I wrong? If you're skeptical, go find a Core 2 Duo and try watching a YouTube video while you're in a Discord call, and let me know how it goes. Those are the kinds of apps people use these days, like it or not. Don't shoot the messenger.

SSRIs are actually a very appropriate treatment for anxiety and depression disorders over the long term.

It’s benzodiazepines that are the problem. These should be reserved for short-term use in extraordinary circumstances, but a small number of doctors seem to hand them out too aggressively.

SSRIs and benzos are in entirely different risk categories. That’s why benzos are controlled substances and SSRIs are not.

This is exactly right. In some situations it's a matter of practicality not morality. Anyone compensated in equity in large part needs to be willing to accept some share price volatility, but at a certain point people are going to leave and the company has to be proactive about that.
100% agreed. I enjoy cold winter with proper snow (~ -10°C), mild spring and autumn with rains and thunderstorms (~ 10-20°C), and summer that doesn't get too hot (ideally not too many days above 30°C).

Have you recently tried from a fresh account? I have and it's very eye opening. These platforms are all very close on parity with suggestive content. TikTok just makes it easier to constantly consume by manipulating your emotions with uplifting content one swipe & shocking content another swipe giving you hits of dopamine and adrenaline around your topics you engage with. The other platforms do the same thing, just has a less intuitive UX and why every platform has shifted to short video, because our attention spans have shortened over the years.

That’s actually fine. If you’re stable and have a long history of that stability with a provider, you don’t need to be forced into in-depth high-frequency analysis.

The point is there should always be appropriate backpressure. For a GUI, lockup would be inappropriate backpressure.
