Making deeply technical material requires someone who has both mastery of an uncommon challenging field and expertise at narrative, storytelling, etc.

For any given obscure field, the set of people who have mastered it is small. The intersection of that with the set of people who are great explainers is very small.
Interesting point of view, but I feel you're missing the point.

Do you find all native applications rude to customers?
I realize that "Guido van Possum" was almost certainly a typo here, but it _does_ make for an amusing mental image. I wonder what other forest creatures might have built programming languages? C++ built by Björn "the bear" Stroustrup? C# built by Anders Honeybadger? Ruby by Yukihiro "Catz" Cat-sumoto?

Look up Flixbus. It's slow, but cheap.
Love the simple/elegant/powerful idea of driving the CPU clock from code running on RPI/Linux. It sidesteps the difficulty of efficiently doing bitbanging on RPI/Linux in a neat way.
As long as there are well-capitalized parties that want to prop up Tether

That's been my personal conclusion as well but it led me to the next question of what # is the breaking point for these well-capitalized parties?

I tried looking at the size of other well-known collapses like Enron, LTCM, Lehman Bros, etc. LB reportedly had $700B in assets and liabilities before the underlying asset devaluation precipitated their cave in. Tether survived the recent de-peg due to trading shops like Alameda absorbing the free 1-5% with their cash flow, which I believe is also responsible for the recent 11% drawdown in Market Cap (I assume due to redemptions). That said I'm not really experienced enough to know how these backroom overnight liquidity issues get resolved.

My hunch is given the true global reach of the crypto market Tether could easily get to $nnnB or $nT before we experience a black swan event that results in a liquidity crisis. Assuming they survive these short-term recessionary pressures, my long-term prediction is we're just setting ourselves up for another roaring '20s again, with crypto eventually learning all the same fundamental financial lessons we did back then.

Can you speak more about this or provide some links? I am fascinated by the idea that there is a small army of painters and maintainers moving unnoticed through our planet's hospitals. Sort of a parallel world to the actual care providers.

It's based on the pervasiveness of some ideas. Some just shift the foundation of a person when they are accepted internally. If you can do that, you can steer anyone.

Less controversially, I think there's good in almost any idea that a speaker really believes in (ignoring bad faith actors) and if you can make people see, truly, your point of view and mesh it to theirs, you can both agree, even if you both abandon your original stance. So, nobody can really bring everyone 'to themselves' which is unstable as you say, but they can both find some average of their opinions that looks an awful lot like convincing people of a course of action or idea. The catch in my mind is that the words move you both, not just the listener. You can see it happen in real time in this thread.
>Aka "speed".

Speed is typically not Dextroamphetamine and not as pure (at minimum the dosages seem quite different) though hard to tell what amphetamine you are getting with it. Otherwise yes, pretty close and it's possible that speed is more dangerous because of the amounts people take of it at a time vs the typically lower and more consistent dosing with Dexedrine. Similar for meth and vyvanse.
You certainly could, there are some folks in the community building Twitch-like livestreaming experiences with LiveKit. One of my teammates built a mobile livestreaming demo app, perhaps I can convince him to release the code. ;)

Update:
Given that this is for internal use at your company, a single LiveKit node should be perfectly fit to handle the scale you need.

I'm well aware, their long history of shabby treatment towards our page actually meant our own app has been in development for a while (on and off around our proper jobs and the aftermath of a health crisis). I'd just like some insight into whatever Kafkaesque process lead to this happening, it's morbid curiosity more than anything.
The thing is not about calling support, but having a contractual agreement so you got somebody to sue in case something goes wrong. That makes lawyers happy. And is useful when offering your own services as you can state that potential liabilities at covered by the vendor. How well that would play out in reality is a different story, but gives people some better rest at night.
Having lived in city centers my entire life, if you had asked me to write a top 10 list of worst noise pollution sources, sirens wouldn't even make the list.

As far as the law and the courts are concerned, I think autopilot part of the story here is irrelevant. As drivers we are responsible for whatever happens when we are behind the wheel. Full stop. It’s pretty obvious they weren’t focused on the road, and failed to realize the highway was ending.

On a related note, I’m starting to think Tesla get a bad rap with all the negative press about their advanced cruise control system. And I didn’t call it ‘Autopilot’ here on purpose. Because there are many many versions of advanced cruise control on the market. Tesla does not have a monopoly on this type of technology. I saw an advertisement the other day for full size pickups that have it now.

The commercial showed a truck changing lanes and passing another vehicle, while towing a trailer, presumably all on its own. That is terrifying to me haha. Why do we all tend to focus on, and demonize Tesla’s version? Is it because it was one of the first, or maybe just the way Musk tend to be a magnet for criticism & scrutiny?

How many wrecks and deaths have been caused by other manufacturer’s systems? It’s got to be happening. This will continue to be a problem, not just for Tesla, as the tech becomes more widespread.
Excellent. Indistinguishable from parody.
good! It helps move the issue along faster. If Finland can demonstrate it doesn't need Russia's oil, it places Russia in a much weaker position.

>driving 74 mph on a surface street

I really hate these kinds of words.

A four lane "basically an interstate if it weren't for the traffic lights every couple miles" type boulevard or state highway typical of urban/suburban areas of sprawl type construction and a two lane residential street are both surface roads. And there's tons of both of those types of roads in the LA area (where this crash took place). There's a big difference between driving 74mph on a somewhat limited access boulevard vs driving 74mph on a residential street.
I think of it less as being dependent on a substance and more as being able to cleanly segment my life. Especially with something like Adderall XR which has a 6-8 hour duration, it is pretty straightforward to turn on and off. Then on days off or after work it is easier to feel no particular obligation to do anything work related. Another bonus is getting so much done when 'on' that your time off is free from any anxiety around work achievements.

That said I had a similar relationship to caffeine, it was more intense than adderall/ritalin to me but the afternoon drop off and affects on sleep/mood were too much and I have cut way back.
How compatible is fasmg with fasm?
I still use fasm on Windows on Linux, but no luck in MacOS since fasm is still written in 32-bit assembly and MacOS doesn't support 32-bit apps anymore...

sd is my favorite of the newish command line tools. Its super fast and i like the syntax a lot
The thing about VDI is that you can't underprovision the client, but you can underprovision the server to a resonable extent. I've seen deployments who decide that it's a great idea to give Windows 10 VMs 2GB of RAM and 1vCPU, which turns the instance into a swapping mess. However if you give the users suitably sized VMs (e.g. 8G/4vCPU) then they will have the burst capacity for faster application loads and such while the server can remain overcommitted (it's rare that all users will need to use up all their vCPUs and memory at a given time).

However for doctors there may be another option aside from VDI, which is RDS or similar where a single Windows Server instance handles multiple remote desktops. Sort of like multiple users using SSH to connect into a shared Linux server. Unlike devs they can rely on a fixed image and don't need to make global changes, making a shared instance viable. This would allow the users to make better use of the compute resources on the server.

I think it's significant, there must be tons of full time employees who are checking tickets, selling tickets, doing maintenance on machines, administering subsidized fare programs etc. I don't think it's 25% or anything, but I wouldn't be surprised it it was in the double digits.

Aside from that, though, it's not as if the money not collected in fares is lost. That's money that people get to keep. It's a direct economic benefit to people using transit, and a smaller indirect benefit to everyone else.
Just wait... someone will complain this is a GDPR violation. ;)
We lost something in the path from homeschooling to one-room schoolhouse to the massive school factories we have today - which was pacing the students. Now we try to group everyone by age.

It's much easier when there's only a small group of kids - but who's to say the massive schools shouldn't be close to large groups of one-room schoolhouses instead of the age-segregated blocks we have now?

Done correctly this helps all kids, except those who just happen to be perfectly aligned with their age.
All of the articles that I have searched/browsed are requiring login / payment... am I missing something?
It does get used, though. There are some very intractable issues with modern software implementations, especially with OpenShift container storage. Unless you've worked with it tons, it's not exactly something a first-year sysadmin can solve.
Personally, I tend towards Debian for infrastructure because while I have experience with RHEL, I prefer the Debian layout, package management, and freely-available help from very knowledgeable people. Not saying that RHEL are pillars of intransigence, they're not, but I've found it easier to solve my own issues. As an almost 3-decade senior sysadmin/devops guy, I know where to go and who to speak with if I run into something really odd. Fortunately, that's rare. Once you've used Linux from a sysadmin POV for a few years, things begin to make sense from a file system, maintenance, and overall "keeping everything alive" approach. I was mentored back in the 90s by a Debian guru at our local LUG. He's since passed into eternity, but much of what he taught me and others still applies. The beauty of POSIX systems. Now... when systemd got released, I didn't know what to make of it, but now after many years, I've gotten used to it. I still prefer the old BSD-style init files and non-binary approach, but what to do with modernity? It will pass you by if you don't embrace it.
Yeah no guilty mind.
I recently (2021) saw a TV ad on a Russian-language channel for noopept, during a visit to Moldova. It included a slow-motion happy family. Looks like it's gone mainstream by now (at least in some parts of the world).
Exactly. It's not whether Bitfinex is able to prop it up, it's whether Bitfinex thinks Tether can be propped up without too much expense. At a certain point it no longer becomes worth propping up, and that number is very far from the current $74B market cap it's currently at.
Just FYI, it's a conspiracy theory to suggest that seed oils and other processed chemicals are somehow unhealthy.
This exactly. In the 80s, it was common practice to write in macro assembler, which would then be translated to the target ISA.

Microsoft wrote BASIC and others significant software in such a way.

Also compilers are hungry, wasteful, complex piece of codes fairly unsuited for 8 bits and 16 bits machines. DOS games started being written in C only when the 386 got commonplace.

Heck, even on 32 bits machines of the times (VAX), most things were written in pure assembly. That includes VMS.
Well, you do but usually within the same process.

I usually don’t because DearImgui exists and I usually do simulation stuff which benefits from the immediate mode approach.
I use fd and rg a lot, integrated them with my scripts and even have some of them bound to keys.

Insanely good and fast programs. Zero regrets.

For a fuzzy finder I recently replaced fzf with peco. I like it better, it's very customizable.
> I think it's worth making the distinction between highly coerced women and children vs. "let's get our kink on" women who make a buck on the side

Ya think?

But there's always one person who twists the narrative, claiming to have the absolute moral high ground.

People willing to actually think about the subject are baited into giving them the benefit of the doubt, thinking they must just be ignorant, because after all, human trafficking is horrifying.

But it's just another blood libel: Accuse your opponents of supporting the most heinous thing you can imagine, so that you can justify annihilating them.

In this case, the position truly being supported is that women cannot sell sex.

Vehemently, violently rearranging the rhetorical space to equate selling sex with sexual slavery is just a method of magically transforming you into an evil that must be destroyed. And you will go along with it willingly, looking ever more pathetic as you try to argue that, in fact, you're on the side of the good--the bloodthirsty opponent becomes ever more and more convinced that you are completely evil.

And not only evil, but disgustingly, twistedly evil. It's almost sad, how evil you are. Because you're so confused. You've been so confused by evil that you think you're good. At that point, it becomes an act of mercy to annihilate you.

Think this is over the top? I don't. I don't think we should engage at all with these conversations. Downvoting is good. Flagging is better.

I certainly want to be able to get along with my coworkers, but it's not quite the same thing as being friends. There are few former coworkers that I keep in touch with after I leave a job. I tend to have my friends outside work. And my family too.
I fundamentally disagree; the smartest and wealthiest of our society should also be working hard to make the lives of the poorest better.

You are sort of making my point; proposals like this assume that those who contribute "less" are less valuable - but of course that is only true on one scale.

As a though exercise; if someone is physically disabled to the extent they cannot work and need regular care should they a) live hand to mouth and unable to afford non-essentials? Or b) should they be comfortable and capable of indulging in luxuries.

Currently our society says they have zero value so (a). I argue that it should be (b)

Governments doing stupid shit like this only encourages "sovereign citizens" to think similar word games and semantics will work for them too. They're naive of course; they seem to think the system is a machine indifferent to class or social standing, which simply isn't the case.

Adderall compared to smoking meth is like drinking green tea vs chewing up a handful of caffeine pills.

It has changed my life in a pretty beneficial way, but totally agree about having days off. I take 3 days off a week and refuse to let my doctor bump up the pill size.
Arcas is fantastic! They are doing some really great work with WebRTC.
We all use keycards to access buildings and secure rooms. Keycards should be (and have been) used to secure computer systems in lieu of passwords. Now with U2F and biometrics that's the best practice.

If passwords have to be used, they should not be chosen by a user, but generated by the system and given to the user once. This is how 'app passwords' work with modern secure web services that otherwise require multi-factor authorization. For memory's sake this can be a set of words.

The absence of a secured NFC or bluetooth connection can be used to automatically de-authenticate and lock sessions. I created a perl script to lock my screen-saver this way 15 years ago!

It should be dead simple to modify systems access. A set of keycards should grant admin access to different parts of the system, and those given out to different levels of staff, so each level of staff can admin the group they work with, and higher levels can provide additional override. This provides redundancy and scales workload better.

For problems with the EHR system, this stems from poor design. Monolithic systems cannot be easily worked around, but loosely-coupled systems can be. A set of filing cabinets are loosely-coupled from what they can hold, can be keyed the same or differently, can be repurposed. Information system design needs to work more like independent furniture in an office, rather than a single set of furniture that only works in one way. Systems should be decoupled from each other so that a user can manually shuffle data around between them. Data should be decoupled from systems and made portable. Data fields should allow comments the way a piece of paper allows you to write in the margins.

Lots and lots of things but I'm having more and more trouble remembering them..
The problem is that 'unless there is a massive run' is nearly assured over a long enough time horizon. The fact that the major players know that they are reasonably safe unless there's a run is the thing that will cause a run in a panic. Also, if some well-capitalized hedge fund figures out how to attack it, they might also light the match on a run if there's money to be made in killing it.

Because Tesla has been claiming fully-autonomous L5 self-driving “will be released next year” for half a decade now.

Not to mention robo-taxis, and the continued lies covering up their insufficient camera/perception hardware. Tesla needs HW5 at least.

FYI: Andrew Karpathy left Tesla a few months ago and is on garden leave. For better marketing, Elon calls it a sabbatical.
