These issues are why I suggested to a co-worker to run it on a low spec intel nuc and not a Pi. They are cheap second hand and far more reliable than a Pi so are great for a HA server.

He's had great success with the built in backup to google drive solution. He fragged the whole setup once without bothering to do any trouble shooting he just reinstalled the OS and applied the backup and was up and running in no time.
Thank you, I appreciate it.

I understand the vision, but argue it hasn't lived up to it.

Anyone can walk into dozens of places in my city to buy, sell, exchange gold. There are many reputable online services for this as well. In reality it's really very easy to exchange. It's also way easier to deal with gold coins, etc Tham the whole crypto exchange/wallet/physical backup thing. People always mention theft, anyone who has any amount of gold should have it insured as part of their home/renter insurance, or can store it professionally with the same insurance guarantees. There isn't really a problem that needs solving here.

It's hard to think about it protecting from inflation while it's so volatile. 5-10% inflation seems small when the market fluctuates +/- 25% regularly.

I think crypto will end up going down in history as one of those Enron, Theranos, Segway, DIA automated baggage system, Lularoe things in 10 years. If it were this amazing world changing idea we'd all already be using it. Think about Facebook, Google, Netflix, these all became daily parts of most of our lives within a year or two. We've had crypto for a while now and I argue that the average person doesn't use it much, interact with it much, other than an investment vehicle.

I think the crypto industry needs to take a hard look on the value prop they originally made, if they're meeting it, and what value, if any, they're providing instead. Does crypto work without continued investment? Does it add value and hold water on its own or does it rely on a steady stream of new investors putting more money in? Does it create value?
That sounds like you're saying that we should have zero births until school shootings stop. And, sure, that would lead to the end of school shootings - at least, within 18 years it would. Despite that, it still sounds like you have a warped perspective that is leading you to a flawed conclusion.

Children are in fact murdered somewhat regularly. Children remain unmurdered far more regularly. Is that not worth something? Are the lives of the unmurdered ones not worth living? (For that matter, are the lives of the murdered ones not worth living for as long as they lived? Yes, it's absolutely a tragedy that they were murdered. It's horrible. But would it be better for them never to have been at all?)

And why focus on murder? Should nobody bring a child into the world in a place where children regularly die from influenza? Or car accidents?

More fundamentally, they all die. Whether or not they die as children, they all die. We all die. Does that make life not worth living?

I don't think so. Life is still worth living - and creating - even though there will be death at the end - and even if the end is tragically early.
I don't think it is, because I'm talking about a marketplace where goods and services can be exchanged for a price as being a filter for quality; otherwise known as capitalism.
To be nitpicky, I assume he's just talking about his torso. The head and legs aren't part of the sphere.
You can see this broken behaviour in the revamped Play Store website. It makes you wonder whether no one at Google felt this was a problem or just didn't bother to fix it.
Unless I'm misunderstanding, this isn't bricking the device. The driver is refusing to allow it to work, sure, but it doesn't damage the chip itself in any way. The reason the FTDI incident back in 2014 blew up was because the FTDI driver didn't just refuse to work - it reprogrammed the USB PID on counterfeit/cloned chips to 0, which actually prevented them from working on any host (looking back at articles from that time, it looks like you could fix it by downloading the FT32 config tool from FTDI, but the important point is that the driver was effectively damaging the chips).

I really don't see the issue with drivers developed by a hardware company to support their hardware refusing to work with other hardware. I recognize that it creates problems for innocent end users when they do it, but Prolific just doesn't have any obligations to the end-users of other manufacturers' chips. Refusing to operate (rather than reprogramming the chips like FTDI's solution did) seems like a completely reasonable path to me.
No matter how good your security is, a rogue employee with high-level access will always be a threat. Since they now have experience with this situation, I trust that Ubiquiti has dedicated more resources to preventing both employee sabotage and external breaches.

This also shows that not every breach is what it seems, and investigating fully before publicly disclosing can sometimes help prevent disinformation. The “whistleblower” in this case was intentionally lying, and every customer that dedicated time to mitigation had to pay part of the cost.
Regularly? Did you get here from Tumblr?
For building NAS, there's a myth that you need good enough PSU to spin up all disks at once (unless you have delay mechanism). I wonder is it still matter now.
There are plenty of tools for getting exact matched to a design, PDF for example. That’s not what the web is for and every attempt to cram it into that role has just made it worse.

Just because you can pound nails with a screwdriver doesn’t mean we should just start catering to people who want to do that. Or people who want to use knives as screwdrivers. Etc.
I'm not OP, but I think I can speak for them when I say that you're a life saver! I too faced this issue a week ago, but for sake of convenience I just gave my number to them. Seriously, thank you.
> I would argue that Starcraft and Warcraft 3's map editors were basically this. Many of the popular maps got developed into actual games - Dota, Various TDs, Uther Party etc.

I never knew this, but it explains so much, especially how Riot has been unable to build a new game mode as successful as Summoner's Rift.

> I've day dreamed about a future where Starcraft 2 came out as a free* game that focused on creating custom map communities instead of the mess that was at the initial release.

That's my dream as well. It's such an interesting idea I'd love to explore or see someone build.
There was a free and open web before it became littered with ads.
Yawn.

The author ditched Prolific because the drivers were garbage. They went with FTDI. Then went back to Prolific because FTDI was bricking fake chips. The impression I got is that the author has no intent of even trying to return the counterfeit.

Perhaps instead of whinging about the drivers he should be engaging whatever vendors about their subpar supply chain.
> Raidz needs to read all of every drive to rebuild after a drive replacement while a striped mirror only needs to read one. However if you're regularly scrubbing zfs then you read it all regularly anyway.

Not quite. Each vdev rebuild uses disks within it. A pool with multiple vdev each being raidz does not need to read all disks to rebuild a single raidz vdev. Your statement compares one vdev vs many vdevs. It just happens to be the case folks assume one large vdev with raidz and multiple vdev with mirroring.

If you have a 3- or 4- way mirror wouldn’t ZFS read from all disks in the vdev to rebuild any added disks to the mirror (there can be more than one)?
Check out Molecule.dev.

It has basically everything you're requesting - both front-end and back-end, image uploads, authentication (and OAuth login via Twitter, Google, etc.), user plans/subscriptions, Stripe integration, cross-platform support with Apple Pay and Google Pay, push notifications, emails, documentation, unit tests, etc. And after some minor setup, it's immediately ready for you to publish to app stores if you wish to do so, with thorough step-by-step instructions on how to set it all up.

I should also note that it isn't a framework, so you're not locked into learning some specific way of doing things. It assembles full-stack codebases using tools and libraries most developers are already familiar with, so you'll have full control over everything. It is designed for teams, startups, and indie devs to quickly build and scale.

You'd still need to implement custom functionality like voting and reposting yourself, however.

What router do you have? I've got a USG and was wondering if it was possible to run PiHole on the USG.
There was an article [0] a while back on Reddit of someone creating a clone using https://bubble.io for the frontend. Might be a useful to investigate. Good luck!

Dunno about war but inflation was super obvious, yes. Expanding money supply = inflationary pressure. Literally economic orthodoxy.
Thanks for the help.

I hard refreshed and started getting a client side error in Chrome but was able to load it in Firefox still.

I seemed to have lost the ability to re-order the blocks.

Do you have plans to make redirects possible so I don't have to update the URL everywhere I would want to use it? eg meml.ink/justin could always go to the latest version of a profile page? Page stats would also be interesting to see (similar to adding + to the end of a bit.ly url)

It seems like with those features you'd be re-creating linkstree, about.me, or a million other generic profile pages. I guess I'm interested what your plans are.
Can we stop calling custom distros an "OS"?

Like, this is linux. Linux is the OS.

This is home assistant distro.
Austria has a single payer system but each part of that system still charges via fee for service.

Innovation does not get injected top down by the omniscient insurance system but bottom up from research clinics and forward thinking doctors.

People engaging the insurance directly with an efficiency play almost always fail here. There are even some vaccines against transmissible diseases that you have to pay for as an adult. I always wonder how that can make any sense. Either the value of delivering the vaccine is less than the 10 euros they are charging me (which probably means it is not very important for me to get it) or the insurance makes a colossal mistake. Especially since most vaccines are only individually unimportant since everyone else has them.
> Not a crypto fan but I'm beginning to see that our entire economy is proving impossible without continuous manipulation by the fed

Just like driving a car proves impossible without continuous manipulation by its driver.
> Smart devices manufacturers often “hard-code” in a public DNS server, like Google’s 8.8.8.8, and their devices ignore whatever DNS server is assigned by your router - such as your PiHole.

> Nearly 70% of smart TVs and 46% of game consoles were found to contain hardcoded DNS settings - allowing them to simply ignore your local network’s DNS server entirely. On average, Smart TVs generate an average of 60 megabytes of outgoing Internet traffic per day, all the while bypassing tools like PiHole.

https://labzilla.io/blog/force-dns-pihole

For those devices which ignore DHCP/NDP provided DNS addresses, you could create a firewall to redirect outgoing port 53 traffic to your own server.
But, notably, only with their internal, smaller fund that only partners and employees can participate in. Which has presumably driven interest in their large funds open to the public, which have not performed anywhere near as well as the internal fund.

You're talking about two fundamentally very different products with very different usage patterns. It would be helpful to hear what features you are looking for from each product and how you expect users to interact with it.

For my write-only backup needs, this free service known as S4 works wonderfully:

(This is a joke.)
Yes, but if its operation is invisible to you, and you can't install anything on it (without the use of a soldering gun and a JTAG style adapter), then it really an apt comparison...
> non-invasive cell free test

From the article:

> The initial process of polygenic embryo testing looks pretty comparable to the single-gene tests that have been around much longer. First, cells are drawn from an embryo a few days old, and the DNA is processed.

Am I looking at the correct test from the article?

To my knowledge, any test or procedure that involves piercing the amniotic sac, as this one does, carries around a 4% (additional) risk of miscarriage. I'm in a HN out-crowd that doesn't accept those odds in exchange for possibly-incorrect information about the fetus.
Minetest is probably one of the best Foss Minecraft alternatives out there. It's incredibly stable, it works on pretty much ever piece of hardware, and to top it all off, it's ridiculously easy to mod it with Lua.
Running an SSD on a rPi 4b is pretty trivial
For fun, I tried this in go on M1 Mac (basically because benchmarking in go is so easy)

And... the two codes runs with exactly the same speed, on M1 Mac, with go.

edit: of course, with go, you can manually parallelize the faster option with goroutines... but that does something else, doesn't it. (and it's 500x faster.)
Any reason a belt with holes couldn't replace the disk with holes for a more compact and rectangular viewing surface? Should be easy enough to test with a belt sander.

The closest thing from the time was mirror drums but those don't sound too similar, and they had mirrors for some reason.
Did you create these?
> I don’t think Cathie Woods has ever read a single book on investing.

Just fyi, your prior comment somewhat contradicts this one. If Wall Street professionals themselves don't know anything about investing and are just fooling themselves, then how can any book know more than they do, given that investing books are written either by Wall St professionals, or by not-Wall St professionals. For someone like Cathie who is actively studying the markets all day and has her, or her clients', own skin the game, investing books would be no better and likely worse sources of information for her.
Fake and counterfeit chips & products are scourge of our industry. Their shady manufacturers put the customers at risk and put the original manufacturers in an impossible position. I don’t envy the position Prolific is in. Whatever we can do to put the fakers out of business is good!
> "She's crazy christian". "She took money from Bill Huang". "It's all fed-driven mania". "She's trading like an amateur hodler". "That guy says she doesn't know what she's doing". "clickbait-like flood of dopamine-inducing buzzwords".

You just nailed it. There was no talent, it was just pure survival bias. Out of all the portfolio combinations, someone out there was going to go with purely speculative unprofitable tech. Someone always does. ARK began in 2014 and they were too early. For several years they were mostly flat, offering meager returns.

And then again, through sheer statistical probability, that person did it at a time when the Fed went nuts, the President at the time was highly focused on the market, when the new Dot Com bubble was inflating and VCs were desperate to give anyone with an idea and the right buzz words money, and across the ocean, some guy was committing hilarious financial crimes that make Wall Street Bets seem like responsible investing. In fact Bill Huang blowing up marked the peak of speculative tech's valuation.

And it's happening again - but this time in energy and commodities, except those fund managers have all been humbled by the absolute knackering that has been the last decade. They don't go out there and talk about how WTI crude is going to trade at $500 and their projections for 50% GDP (before inflation of course). They generally just talk their book in the appropriate channels, and err on the side of cautious optimism instead of outrageous projections. Their models are also infinitely better than anything ARK has ever put out.

In summary: "there are no gurus, only market cycles".
Anecdotally I've never experienced a single one of those bugs in Firefox on Android as a heavy user.
The linked article seems a bit dismissive of Indieweb ( https://indieweb.org/ ) but I've found some terrific sites assoc w it -- eg BoffoSocko.com -- and they seem to me at least as big a part of the "revival" as any if the others noted there.

I also think Remix.run deserve a ton of credit for putting the focus back on web fundamentals (HTTP, HTML) and progressive enhancement (apps work without js enabled).
Half-life Alyx is pretty bad actually. Even I as a veteran get a tiny bit queasy with that occasionally - definitely wouldn't class it as one of my "safe" experiences. But even then "after a few hours" is pretty long really. Most people wouldn't stay in VR that long anyway.

Native Quest games are the best as they are entirely on-device with no latency anywhere.
Does Google tracking go to the device level?
I recently was living in another city, whose local language differs from my own. Due to spotty network coverage, I ended up having to share my phone's hotspot. When I did ads on YouTube all played in my home's language. This all from an ungoogled phone where I haven't really logged in to Google through any apps except the browser.

If such tracking occurs at the device level, how would you even know what to do to prevent it?
Right. So increasing rates should begin to entice more people to save their money instead of spending it, thereby cooling demand. We just haven't yet reached that point with the current rate hikes, apparently.
It’s not even remotely close to what he said.
You can just look at gcc and llvm source. GCC’s x86 backend is maintained by an Intel employee and it doesn’t have especially detailed descriptions of any cpu in -mtune.

Actually, compiler optimizations like scheduling tend to be neutral to negative on x86 because they increase register pressure. You’d probably want to do “anti-scheduling” and hope the CPU decoder takes care of it if anything.
Right now it appears unreliable, but once it's eventually proven to be nearly perfect, it should be compulsory with penalties for child cruelty if not followed.

Birthing a child with genetic defects that would be detectable by common methods is morally equivalent to harming a healthy child in the exact same way. In both cases the end state is a damaged human that wouldn't exist if not for the actions of (presumably...) adults. Legal consequences should therefore be equivalent.

I'm aware it's outside of the Overton window now, but so was legal homosexuality not that far ago (in many Western countries) - support was fundamentally religious in nature and eventually disappeared. Assuming general progress in genetics, the situation is going to repeat here. Eventually only a tiny fringe will think it should be legal to make a new kid with no genetic tests during pregnancy (or before implantation).

Fixing found problems with genetic engineering is also fine, if feasible.
> I think JSON's model, in which lists and objects are independent first-class entities, with distinct syntax, has something to say for it.
> Oh, and we don't need all those commas. I think, if I was designing a LISP-ish language, I'd have a first-class syntax for objects which used different opening and closing characters – maybe (FOO bar baz) for a list, but [FOO :BAR bar :BAZ baz] for an object.

I think Clojure has what you're looking for, and the syntax is great, much more light-weight than JSON (the syntax even has its own name: EDN). 'Objects' are first-class hash maps, your example could look like this `{:class FOO :bar BAR :baz BAZ}`.
The amount of residential zoning is NOT the problem. It is the restrictions on existing zoning.

People want to maintain a suburban way of life for a population that is changing into a city.

What right does a person have to prevent me from turning my home into a 4 unit apartment complex? No right, yet this is the rule that prevents suburbia from transforming into a city.

It is like a growing reptile refusing to shed.. Instead it stays put growing bigger and bigger until it's suffocates and explodes. The bay area has has already suffocated... the exodus is it's guts spilling out of a rupture in the skin.
Blind people that need to attach their bikes to a rack?
Nowadays some recent consumer platforms supports PCIe x16 to x4/x4/x4/x4 bifurcation that should be enough. For RAID, switching (dynamically shares bandwidth between SSDs) is nonsense, isn't it?

> The requirement I have is that it needs to be production-ready.

At what scale?
Why? Wouldn't a farmer just buy the futures contract (or an option on it), then liquidate and use the profit to offset the loss on the spot purchase? I was under the impression that hedgers never take delivery.
Agreed. But can we stop using "premature optimization is the root of all evil". It has jumped the shark. I have more grief in my life because people adhere to this tenet. This is why we end up with the software equivalent of concrete airplanes. Ok it's your turn now. Make it fly!
The front end (the decoder stage and branch predictors) are what would theoretically be important for compilers as they’re the bottleneck. But Intel’s optimization advice doesn’t say much about branches anymore, they pretty much want you to rely on them to take care of it.

That’s only part secrecy and part to give them freedom to change it. It is of course somewhat described in their patents.
If you lock in both your costs and your profits, it's the opposite of speculation.
The author equates them only in the sense that they both lay claim to a certain kind of "authenticity" in their marketing.

I did not find that he conflated the two, or made any claims I suspect to be innacurate regarding organic farming.

Please be more specific as to why you think it's "weird and bad."

Edit: it appears to be from 2019 however.
Note that pi-hole can also be used by only installing the DNS resolver, without the web server and UI, which allows it to be installed on any tiny Linux system as well.

Additionally I can recommend the "Privacy" web browser on Android combined with the "Rethink DNS" firewall.

Both are amazing tools that help speed up your phone, and allow you to even filter ads out of specific apps that use e.g. an embedded cloudflare DoH resolving mechanism.

If you want to dig deeper, there's always the Aurora App Warden and Permission Manager X which allows you to modify other Apps and remove their Activities and Services that are coming from ad frameworks.

I experienced this together with a friend while we were CS students. I went with him to a store to get several pieces of carpet. We needed each to be sized roughly about 1 meter by 3 or 4 meters. For some reason, both of us were quite worried about the long pieces not fitting in the car easily. Even when the person in the store had cut the pieces and they were on the floor in front of us we were looking puzzled at the lengths not fitting in the car. Then we were amazed to see our friendly salesperson stacking the pieces on top of eachother and rolling them up on the short end, creating a thick roll of carpet of about 1 meter long that would fit in the car without any issue. We were both laughing and feeling a bit ashamed that neither of us had thought of this simple solution and that we were really worried for nothing all this time.
This sounds like an interesting perspective. Could you elaborate a bit more on what it is different today, and what you are comparing the present situation to?
