I keep seeing posts about Pi Holes and it looks good, but I have previously dealt with ads by appending their delivering sites to my /etc/hosts, i.e.

0.0.0.0 trashsite1.com

0.0.0.0 trashsite2.com

The only downside I see is that my approach is not network-wide. Any other reasons I should reconsider?
Red Cross, hospitals at odds over expensive blood technology
I'd suggest looking to practices which:

- Are very widely used.

- Deliver a clear short-term benefit.

- Have a remarkably low cost.

- Whose long-term impacts may be complex or difficult to demonstrate.

- Which have a clear entrenched interest.

Most of the options you list seem to fit these criteria. There will be many others.

For a longer list, borrowing on work of Charles Perrow (Normal Accidents), I suggest that the following tend to be determinants of complexity (stated in low/high relation, no particular listing order):

- Coupling flexibility: loose/tight

- Coupling count: low/high

- Internal complexity: low/high

- Threshold sensitivity: low/high

- Self-restabilisation tendency: high/low

- Constraints/tolerances (design, manufacture, operational, maintenance, training, financial): loose/tight

- Incident consequence: low/high

- Scale (components, mass, distance, time, energy (kinetic/potential), information, decision): low/high (absolute log)

- Decision or response cycle: long/short

- Environmental uniformity: high/low

- Environmental stability: high/low

- State determinability: high/low

- Risk determinability: high/low

- Controls coupling: tight/loose

- Controls response: high/low

- Controls limits: high/low

- Controls complexity: low/high

How does this relate to tail calls?

Could it be due to increasing global energy prices?
Thanks! I was just excited about experiencing the frequency illusion in real life -- fifteen-ish years of English without cowling, then two cowlings in a day from two different sources.
It’s different but has some similarities. This blocks all kinds of configured (DNS) requests from your devices, even from apps and operating systems, whereas Brave browser only blocks ads on the browser. One drawback is that this solution does DNS level blocking, and cannot handle any web page element-level blocking that may be possible in some browsers.
For one thing how about being open and honest about your own publicly available data . Maybe start by clearly articulating the actual risks of Covid instead of letting the media fly away with garbage like “4% kill rate”. To this day people still parrot back “Covid kills 4% of people who get it” when the actual rate is several orders of magnitude lower, even with OG Covid.

That would be a start. Hiding facts and data that goes against your narrative and then labeling people who point said stuff out as conspiracy theorists is not cool.
The thing that stands out to me is that the professor is bewildered about all of the cheating happening. As a student, this story is very common and almost "normal"
The reason I mentioned my title is that I don’t think many would consider a CTO an IC. Saying remote and async only works as an IC is wrong.
> But if they aren't actually improving and learning, their satisfaction and desire to continue with what they were getting isn't desire to keep improving and learning.

good for them.

In which way this is an obstacle for those who want to?
> I would propose simple solutions, like a continuous improvement cycle, and educational experiments conducted at random by regular teachers, then reproduced and cross referenced to build new models. They had never considered these ideas before.

I've never met a teacher who didn't do those things; I have met many who wouldn't phrase it like that. Just because they're not using the same terminology as you doesn't mean it isn't happening.

It's very easy to look at a system from the outside and think that they're missing the obvious [1]; things become more complex the more you understand them.

> - TrueNAS is more targeted towards enterprise applications. If you want good utility as a home user then give Proxmox or the like a look. Then you can make it into more than just a NAS (if you're open to it).

I have questions about this. I'm thinking of building my own NAS server, and I don't know which OS to use. On the one hand it looks like people recommend TrueNAS a lot, which is nice now that they have a Linux version, but I'm not really sure what does it offer over a raw Debian apart from web/configuration and some extra tools? I have quite some experience in running Debian systems and managing RAIDs (not with ZFS but doesn't seem too much of a jump) and I worry that TrueNAS, while nice at the beginning, might end up being limiting if I start to tweak too much (I plan on using that NAS for more things than just storage).
By far the aspect of college life (USA) that I miss the most is this. The communal meal tables and optional community canteen subscription. I wish these kind of establishments were common across the USA.
Just get the Gensler and see if it works.

You can buy a second hand copy of an older edition for a few dollars.

I've never understood why dental care isn't included when you otherwise have universal healthcare. Why single out dental problems? It's about as impossible to just ignore having an infected tooth that needs to be pulled out as it is not doing anything about a broken arm.

Native Instruments' interfaces have their drives in the Kernel, submitted by NI themselves.
1,44 MB was the capacity of the High Density 3 1/4” disks that were introduced for the IBM PC in 1987.

The target system for Sierra’s first adventures (The Wizard and the Pricess, King’s Quest et al) was the Apple II, whose floppies could take a whopping 113.75 KB per side.

Perhaps more importantly, it only had 48 kB of RAM, and a traditional full color bitmap image would have taken up a bit more than half of that, leaving very little for game logic, I/O routines, text etc. Using vector graphics was a necessity for getting several full-color screens onto one floppy.

You can read a long-form series of articles about how Ken Williams implemented this game engine at https://www.filfre.net/tag/sierra/page/8/ .
I’ve read #1 and #5 so far, and they were both fascinating. Thanks for sharing this! I figure the actual answer is a combination of many things, but reading each of these little pieces is really valuable info.

I'm bullish on VR but I think the "many floating monitors around a desk" is a bad use case. I mean, you can just alt-tab through windows or desktops as it is.

In my mind the real power comes from spatial hand tracking as a new UX paradigm(seeing an interacting with objects in 3d space) and possibly the addition of large displays anywhere a monitor couldn't have feasibly been, (eg, floating in the server room in a cramped space when needed).

I don't think working on code will be all that different. There isn't any physical spatial interaction with text on paper that the current editors are missing.
They mean: lose one drive and have another with bit rot.
I don't know about you but for most people multiplication/division by 10 is easier to do than doing those same operations by 1760 or 2.54 (or 12, or 36, or...). Judging by your parent comment, I trust that those numbers are familiar for you ;)

How much yards is 523 miles?

And, how many metres is 523 kilometres?

-------

You might want to read up about SI base units [1]. That gives precise definitions of the fundamental quantities in terms of other constants, such that it wouldn't change ever.

Like, a metre has been defined as the distance light travels in a given amount of time (this constant amount of time is of course a very small fraction of a second). It's never going to change. If it had been defined as the length of a horse tail, then it would change depending on the horse you use.

(Of course, there's a lot more to it, but I'm omitting the details here).

In the post, multiplications and 2 additions are not faster than 2 additions.

The post compares (1) loop code that can be vectorized, as loop rounds are independent and do not depend on the result from the previous round, and (2) an "optimization" that makes calculations shorter, but also makes each loop round depend on the result of the previous round, so this cannot be vectorized.
I'm pretty sure that's what they meant.
"You do realize Hitler was elected with an overwhelming majority too, right?"

Hitler or rather the Nazi party infamously didn't win "with an overwhelming majority" in November 1932. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/November_1932_German_federal_e... reminds me they "lost 34 seats and again failed to form a coalition government in the Reichstag" (emphasis added). They gained power by non-electoral means after this, starting with a deal where President Hindenburg made Hitler chancellor and they had "a short-lived coalition government formed by the NSDAP and the German National People's Party (DNVP)." (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adolf_Hitler%27s_rise_to_power...)
I run a PiHole and a Tailscale exit node on my Unifi routers (previous generation). The Tailscale exit node lets me do both site-to-site VPNs and site-specific egress. The one thing keeping me from site network nirvana is that I haven't quite figured out how to set up a wifi network on the Ubiquiti device that routes all traffic through a given other exit node, however. Someday!
I think you can just power the pi via pins on the header unless this no longer works on the pi 4?
I would also definitely recommend The Little Schemer. Big fan of the 10 rules here : ) It might not be the easiest to understand in some parts though.
The general rule to follow in power consumption on CPUs is to do your work quickly and then get to sleep. Propagating clock is going to eat the bulk of your power. The mild difference between multiply and add in actual usage is inside the noise (orders of magnitude smaller). The bigger penalty in this case is the inter-iteration dependency, which, vectorized or not, runs the risk of holding up the whole show due to pipelining.

As a performance rule on modern processors: avoid using the result of a calculation as long as you reasonably can (in tight loops... You don't want to be out of cache.).

Have fun threading the needle!
I could imagine someone seeing this assignment as a formal requirement. And googling "integrity assignment", just like one might google how to fill out some tax related forms. Or perhaps even how people google "birthday wishes".
How?

When I look, there is no option to enroll. It just says "Want to be notified when Learn UI Design opens for enrollment?" with links to sign up. I have no idea about pricing either. I don't want to give out my email without knowing what I'm asking about buying.

Cuba has developed a few drugs and exports doctors as chattel for foreign income but their actual healthcare is abysmal. They larger operate without antibiotics, pain killers, and at times clean water. They can’t provide 24h power to hospitals so most modern tech is pointless there. The notion that anything else is true is just Cuban propaganda. There are tons of accounts from NGOs and doctors who have defected.
> OK. Then how do you measure competency?

You don't.

You certify it, when it is required.

> Right now, a medical diploma indicates that the person took all the requisites and passed all the tests to be a practicing physician.

exactly! because it is required by regulations.

> If you only measure student satisfaction, how do you which medical student is ready to treat real patients and which isn't?

there is a high chance than an unsatisfied medical student is gonna be an equally unsatisfied doctor, even if they check all the boxes.

let's be clear: satisfaction is not a measure of how much they are having fun.

just like if you go to the gym you're not more satisfied if they give you free candies and hot dogs and couches with Netflix, but you end up being fatter and less fit than before.
> In the case of testing it’s because you choose to focus on the obviously bad thing (current state of testing) rather than the very complex and difficult question behind it: HOW do you measure knowledge? And when you decide how, how do you scale it?

I would actually focus on the question of "Why do I need to quantify everybody's knowledge at a high resolution?"

When I was TAing, I held the position - never accepted I should say - that we should make more courses pass/fail; and instead of investing effort in the numeric grading keys, try to give more meaningful feedback on assignments.

Some alternative suggestions I brought up:

* I suggested that the final grade be a combination of the assessment a roll of 1D6 points - to hammer it in that the grading is to a great extent artificial. Somehow this was even less popular of a suggestion...

* I once proposed we offer people a perfect passing grade if they just never show up to class nor submit anything, and only people who want to learn would risk an imperfect grade. I really liked that proposal, because it put the two motivations - learning and making the grade - which are often conflated, at direct odds with each other.

Of course none of this was taken seriously - even though I was serious. Kind of.

Isn't assessing skill/ knowledge/ aptitude the objective of both?
QM nonlocality isn't useful for instant communication though.

If it is a physical process, you still cant influence it on one end in order to communicate faster than the speed of light.

And nothing is "observed instantly" since that phrase doesn't have meaning in SR.

Two space-like separated observations, which cannot communicate with each other in SR, will have correlated measurements. Which measurement comes first or if they happen at the same time, will depend on your reference frame and motion.

So once a single measurement has been made somewhere in the universe, all observers (light-like or space-like separated) will measure entangled values that agree with that measurement, but the entangled state was created indeterminately. If the observations are space-like separated you cannot say which one "caused" the collapse of the wave function.

And like I said you can't use it for communication. The fact that you can't assign which observation was cause and which one was effect is probably tightly tied to the fact that you can't use it to communicate -- which side is the sender and which side is the receiver? That depends on the reference frame, which produces nonsense, so to avoid a paradox it is banned.

Surely you can have firewall redirect rule that bounces all outgoing dns to your Pi hole?

This doesn’t work with DNS over https of course.
The situation I laid out was a degraded Z1 array with the total loss of a single disk(not recognized at all by the system), plus bitrot on at least one remaining disk during resilver. Pairity is gone, you have checksum to tell you that the read was invalid, but even multiple re-reads don't give valid checksum.

How does Z1 recover the data in this case other than alerting you of which files it cannot repair so that you can overwrite them?
Exactly. Making the whole board a screen would take away from the experience. At that point you could just play one of the digital versions that exist.
Yes, the fundamental problem is that there appear to be, empirically, certain scales of length that humans find intuitive, and it is the job of a well-designed system of units to adapt to human intuition rather than forcing humans to adapt to the units. For some units this is easy, as humans are mediocre at intuiting measures of weight (grams are fine, "about the weight of a raisin") and awful at intuiting measures of volume, but are pretty decent at intuiting lengths, so you want to support a variety of intuitive lengths without forcing people to resort to big numbers (larger than 100) or decimals. mm, cm, m, and km are pretty good, though it's slightly lacking in a "foot-length" equivalent (dm has never been used by anybody in history, and is a bit too small regardless; maybe it would be better if the metric length units were all 1.5 times longer).

What was the average number of students in your classes, and the average number of TAs?
Ah I just opened this thread to ask why isn't this a standard feature on routers at this point, and lo and behold.

I hope it becomes more ubiquitous (hah) even on lower cost ones eventually.
This is really cool. I've been tinkering, trying to get away from Dropbox and repurposed an old server to SMB share a disk that I occasionally rsync with another disk via ssh. I feel like it's not sufficient to protect against errors. What's a reliable, easy to maintain NAS solution for that purpose, Synology?
In Sweden, where my opinion of the public health care is that it's useless (unless you're having a really acute problem), I've looked for private hospitals to get help from. No such luck! Finding a specialist to help you, no matter if you have money and are willing to pay feels close to impossible, at least for the things that I've needed help with.
I don’t know how you maintain your hosts list, but with a solution like pi-hole, you can easily subscribe to multiple blocking filters and have them update periodically without any intervention. Of course, you could automate your hosts update too, but pi-hole comes with this built-in.
Okay, fair point, I went too far with that one.

> From a scientific perspective, this is absolutely the wrong advice.

Those are unnecessarily harsh words. You and elliekelly are not contradicting each other, but talking about different things.

If you didn't understand chapters 1 and 2 from a textbook, reading chapter 3 from the same book is usually a BAD idea. Sadly, this is what formal education often tells you to do, because it follows a predetermined schedule.

If you didn't understand chapters 1 and 2 from a textbook, opening a different textbook and reading chapters 1 and 2 is usually a GOOD idea. Two authors describing the same idea from slightly different perspectives is better than reading the same text twice; at least it makes it easier to pay attention during the second reading, but the second book might also answer a question you had when reading the first book.
And this can still happen under async. But I wouldn’t recommend it all the time. It just feels like a crutch for bad working practice.

Also, kill email use internally. It’s absolutely not needed in 2022 when literally every app you use on a daily basis has an activity feed.

Many companies try to! The problem is that paying extra for the commute deterministically implies that people who do end up working remote are penalized, which they understandably aren't happy about. As the article describes, when companies like Spotify try to come up with an employee friendly policy they inevitably conclude that remote employees should be paid the same as in office ones.

> You should measure the satisfaction of the students.

It's very easy to make satisfying and engaging teaching. It's a lot harder to make that valuable.

If we focus on student satisfaction rather than understanding, we're failing them.
Can you explain what you mean? The Quest2 is easily the best stand alone headset and the hololens has the best world sensing. How can you say it's generally crappy? I consider it industry leading unless you get some niche devices that push up the spec sheet but are generally uninteresting.
>One does not learn how to be a successful software architect in a semester or two of university. Neither does a bachelors degree make you anything more than a beginner in any specialized topic.

That's entirely true. But if you din waste your time in school, you know fundamentals, you have the necessary background to proceed further and become good or excellent.

> that learning on your own deserves some level of commendation as it's the most crucial skill in a field that's constantly shifting and changing

I agree. You have to continously learn. But having a solid grasp of the fundamentals and understanding how things work will just help you on your path of future learning.

In University you still learn by yourself, but under supervision.

Eyeglasses are relevant because you're talking about "wearable" devices that are worn in a place where most of us are already wearing something. The fact that this isn't obvious helps explain all your other blind spots on this issue.

If you can't figure out why wearing hot things on your face is a problem, you are not even thinking at all about product design.

I meant that humans interact WITH EACH OTHER via sight. Again, the fact that this does not even seem to occur to you as an issue says a lot.
