Yep, I've tried them all and Dropbox is the only one that I can say works.

- iCloud - simply does not work, trusting your files in here is a fools errand.

- Google Drive - They've change the name 6 times since I've started this comment, and each name changes requires a new download, and each download removes a feature I use. Need third party app for Linux.

- OneDrive - Not so bad, but need third party app for Linux.

I've tried many others like SyncThing (just terrible, people who tolerate this I give them my pity because it is not good software).

I wish Dropbox would just split of products into Dropbox Classic (A folder, that syncs!) and then this new fangled rubbish they keep building to diversify.
Tons of Clojure in Europe. Especially Northern Europe. Following the job boards and Clojurians Slack channel's #jobs channels I figure it's about 50/50 for US and EU.
Oh hey look it's a slippery slope argument!

First of all, a slippery slope is slippy - that doesn't mean you have to slide down it. You can ban deepy objectionable content, without banning mildly objectionable stuff. As evidence, see any country in the world with functioning hate speech laws. There are lots of them.

Second, payment processors / platforms restricting or banning adult content predates the recent resurgence of nazism in america by decades.

Third, a bunch of platforms shutting down sex content in recent times has been driven by US laws like FOSTA-SESTA and not "cancel culture" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stop_Enabling_Sex_Traffickers_...
All of these are completely non-functioning, bankrupt and incapable countries. The sanctions DO work, despite these countries being rich in resources (except NK).

Yes it is. That is like saying because it doesn't run on an Atari that it isn't truly open source.
Actually, it did happen later in the day, so it was down 30km, an average days usage. So we had 370km of range rather than 400km. That's still full, essentially.

My point is that the only time the car drops below 300km of battery life remaining is when we're on a road trip, so maybe once a month.

Whereas our gasoline car will have somewhere between 1/8 and full on a random day.
you completely missed the point of what the parent comment was saying. parent comment did not say "what Michael Crichton wrote about climate change in 'State of Fear' is the Truth." in fact, in a way your comment demonstrates the very phenomenon parent comment was referring to. it might be helpful to read it again a bit more carefully.
Hey smashah, this is Ram, the author of the post. Everything that you said is pretty spot on. It is a really hard problem and pretty repetitive in many of the companies including open source projects. We hope to build a platform that can help with this and over time cover all the use cases you mentioned.
in some tasks, like refactoring, I would easily say that 75% of my time is saved by copilot.

For example, I just had to convert some OCaml code to Rust. I wrote the first few conversions, and then I would just paste the OCaml code in a comment, and it would auto-complete the equivalent code in Rust. I just had to check that it was correct, which it was most of the time, rinse and repeat and wow. One would have to be blind to not find copilot impressive, really, it's the future.
This is a poor analysis. There's no justification for binning hourly temperature data into 3-year intervals and comparing the _median_ over time (an aggregate metric which ignores outliers, in a system where outliers drive the behavior of interest). Nor does this article perform any systematic test to confirm or deny a global trend - just pointing to some cherry-picked graphs with questionable assumptions and saying "hmmm" does not make an interesting analysis. Sorry, just don't publish shit like this unless you have something to say and viable data to back it up.
Unfortunately I'm not in a liberty to say. But what I realized is that it is not adjacent to common internet threads. It is out there in the real world kind of a thing.
Do you have any specific concerns with this work (other than that the results appear to upset you)?
Who is this for? What does it do? Why should I care? I ask all of these non-facetiously as someone who works in enterprise cloud architecture.
Dropbox does work the best, but some years back they took out their “middle tier” so you couldn’t just pay a few bucks a month, then a year or two after that sharply limited the free tier, took away the public folder, etc. At some point I had to ask myself “is this so much better than iCloud for my personal syncing and an FTP share directory for a public folder replacement,” and realized the answer for me was “no.”

Disclaimer: Works at Brave, before at Tailcat.

Goggles white-paper was released more than a year ago, long before Kagi was even announced to the public.

Additionally, before Brave acquired Tailcat (Jan 2021) I had the pleasure to share the draft of the paper with Kagi's founder.

So no, there is no prior art.

Let me add that I do not claim that Goggles is prior art of Lenses either.

One of the key features of Goggles design is that the instructions, rules and filters are open and URL accessible.

A Goggle is not so much a personal preference configuration, but a way to collaborative come up with shareable and expandable search re-rankers.

Very different goals if you ask me. Of course, Goggles can be used for personal preferences exclusively, but that's not the use case we had in mind.

Given the massive lack of trust in media, and to a lesser degree the popular science community, we need a more formal system of information similar to the justice system.

In america the justice system has the judge (representing the state) and the jury (representing citizens). other countries have similar tribunals , each member with a different allegiance.

For science, we need a strong and formal amateur tier to review and corroborate results. Though this exists now, it's not formally engaged with science reporting. and there's no method to compare amateur results to professional.

What OP is doing here is bolstering amateur observation and he should be praised for that. I'd like to see research like this given more resources and exposure to build trust in scientific findings.
Brave was that browser that got publicity and I wondered why. Then I read that article and figured I didn't need to know more.
The next low-hanging fruit improvement is community solar installations, or barring that, individual home solar installations.

Technically, things like better insulation are low hanging fruit in the sense that the technology exists and the materials for it are cheap, but it's incredibly labor-intensive, especially when retrofitting old housing stock.

Solar is much easier to retrofit onto a home than making a 50+ year old house well-insulated.
Termination is basically a non-cost anymore. The price a pack of 10 sc/apc field terminations (IE that a random DIY'ers could do) is <20 bucks, and to your question, the same as a price of a pack of 10 ez-r45 connectors.

The loss and ease of mechanical connectors has gotten good enough (0.15 db or better) that most of the folks i know will only fusion splice when they really have to.

I agree it wouldn't make sense to do single pair or single fiber, but that's the actually the comparison at which 10baset-1l is at all competitive.

I have buried a lot of fiber, and a lot of network cable over the years :)

I was just trying to be fair and present the best case for 10baseT1L

In practice you can do 12/24 strand fiber (or 6 strand fiber + power + whatever) for less than the price of whatever particular set of 18 awg twisted pair (which is what the spec requires at 1km) + other things you wanted.
The cable would be smaller, and if you use A3 or B3 fiber, it would be more flexible/support a lower bend radius than the 18 awg twisted pair. By far. IT's not even close.

It wasn't sneaky way back then. A "byte" has not always been defined as "exactly 8 bits"; it used to be hardware-dependent. 6-bit bytes were common in systems with word lengths that were multiples of 6 instead of the now-common 8.

> I can't use NixOS based containers anyway

I'm no expert, but I believe the purpose of containers is to include all user space dependencies... so this doesn't make sense to me.

I personally am surprised NixOS hasn't leaned into marketing itself as ideal for creating reproducible containers.
HDD sizes are set by manufacturers according to the IDEMA "LBA Count for Disk Drives Standard"[0] formula:

LBA_count = 97696368 + 1953504 * (Reported_Capacity_in_GBytes - 50)

So, for 120 GB HDD:

(97696368 + 1953504 * 70) * 512 / 1024^3 = 111.79 GiB
(97696368 + 1953504 * 70) * 512 / 1000^3 = 120.03 GB

For 200 GB HDD:

(97696368 + 1953504 * 150) * 512 / 1024^3 = 186.31 GiB
(97696368 + 1953504 * 150) * 512 / 1000^3 = 200.05 GB

For 500 GB HDD:

(97696368 + 1953504 * 450) * 512 / 1024^3 = 465.76 GiB
(97696368 + 1953504 * 450) * 512 / 1000^3 = 500.11 GB

Doesn't look like powers of 2 at all. Are you sure about your sizes?

Please, read my comment again.

I did not say it forces you to distribute it. That's absurd.

What I said is: "if you incorporate GPL code and distribute it"

If you do those two things, yes, you have to license your code under GPL.

It's not me saying, please take a look at Section 5-b and 5-c of the license. [1]

This is spot on. One interesting approach I've seen before is that all commands executed as the superuser must be written in file, and the only command accessible via sudo is "please_save_to_audit_log_then_run_it_in_sandboxed_env <file>". For particularly high-risk situations, there might be a second person reading your script before running an approval command that actually lets the script run. Things don't move quickly, but the number of mistakes via typo is certainly reduced.
OK, so a simulated human brain acts the same as a real human brain, is capable of the same things, tells you that yes, it can experience the color red, etc, but does not have any internal conscious experience.

Why then would evolution produce beings with internal conscious experience?

This would also mean that our internal conscious experience has no effect on what decisions we make, on whether we cry, smile, what memories we form, etc.
There is nothing stopping companies from hiring freelancers from Latin America, without adding another middleman (like your service) which will, of course, cost something.

Having tried this setup and having dealt with middlemen (eg. Pilot) and not, I can't say I noticed much difference with dealing with self employed.

Especially if the team members are senior, they're likely to know the ropes of setting up business in their country.

That said, hiring from Latin American has its challenges - the language barrier is not easy to overcome and the political instability can take a toll on your friends and coworkers (especially in these trying times).
I'm not completely sure I understand your comment, so pardon me if I misunderstand. I don't think a foreign data wrapper would fundamentally to be more efficient with whatever table is ~foreign~, especially for an OUTER JOIN? Unless you're basically implementing something similar to data-diff with an OUTER JOIN with FDW, which seems possible

If you're doing in-database diffs, however, a join-based approach will likely outperform data-diff though.

Ideally databases would have support a standard MERKLE TREE INDEX so we could get extremely fast comparisons.
Yeah, I didn’t mean it in terms of of source code and implementation, and certainly a lot of features were added since DOS, but since both OS/2 and Windows (NT) were intended to be successors of DOS, their shell took over the syntax and conventions of the DOS shell.
That's extremely context specific. You can imagine something like in social sciences where people have quite finely tuned but subjective personal awareness of human behavior and some data makes a coarse but objective measurement of it. It's hard for the data to be as "accurate" as the personal experience, so it can easily be wrong. But "it was colder when I was a kid" vs temperature measurements is the other way around.
This is Ram, the author of the post. Thanks for the feedback. The architecture that is mentioned in the post is something we built at a startup for our providing our infrastructure as a service. It is true that this architecture gets complex in larger companies. I would love to understand what parts are abstract and how we can improve them. We plan to publish a series of posts to provide more clarity on the different parts mentioned in the blog. Your feedback would be really helpful.
An unwillingness to update a webpage as well as refusing to do bare maintenance for years is astounding. It could have been an unintentional oversight, until the 2020 letter by LibreOffice. (Yes that was not the first to comment). As far as I know, there hasn't been a change - not even an acknowledgement of the letter.

It's been long enough; this is not unintentional and the lack of any response for so long has gone beyond what can be excused by a slow-moving bureaucracy. Moreover, updating the site to acknowledge that the project isn't updated is trivial, truthful, and needful for its users. Therefore that is a more than reasonable expectation for an app with its recognition - even if there were no other competing apps. But nope, nothing.
It's hard to tell, but if I would place some baseline "the tool is useful if it helps me this amount per day" somewhere, then it's WELL above that baseline. So I would say that if you can say the tool is useful if it improves 1% of your day, then it's probably at 15-30% right now.
I've sort of felt that String.intern is sort of a primordial vestige from really old Java landscape that doesn't quite make sense anymore. Can't remove it for backwards compatibility issues, but I don't understand when or where you would want to use it in today's landscape.
>tampered logins need not show up as failures.

Thanks for clarifying it. Yes, the writing about it is surprisingly unclear. Even on the original paper and the dedicated website for this bug, there's a frustrating lack of clarity about what they mean by "login" and how much the user is in the loop of this attack, which could be an important gating factor making it unlikely to ever have been a practical exploit
What the fuck is the point of this?
- "This high demand exists because neon is an essential, irreplaceable, and major component of argon-fluorine-neon excimer pulsed lasers."

Incidentally, that's the type of very high-power laser that was once considered indispensable for space-based missile defense satellites (like Polyus and the Star Wars concepts). To my understanding, this is the actual root cause of the current neon crisis: Soviet military overinvestment in the 1980's, creating a post-Cold War glut that priced out any new competition. Hence, the modern supply chain ended up relying on two countries that are now at war.

From this German government whitepaper about the noble gas industry:

- "Neon was regarded as a strategic resource in the former Soviet Union, because it was believed to be required for the intended production of laser weapons for missile and satellite defence purposes in the 1980s. Accordingly, all major air separation units in the Soviet Union were equipped with neon, but also krypton and xenon, enrichment facilities or, in some cases, purification plants (cf. Sections 5.4 and 5.5). The domestic Soviet supply of neon was extremely large but demand low."

- "Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, global crude neon production was approximately 500–600 million l/a (= 500,000–600,000 m3/a). It was dominated by far by large-scale air separation units associated with metallurgical combines in Russia and Ukraine. Simultaneously, demand was estimated at around 300 million l/a (cf. Section 4.2). In the years between 1990 and 2012, therefore, most crude neon was not purified, but released into the atmosphere, because there was no customer base."

https://www.deutsche-rohstoffagentur.de/DE/Gemeinsames/Produ... (chapter 5.2)

(By the way, this source links neon production to cryogenic oxygen separators at steel factories, whereas OP links it to Haber-Bosch plants (ammonia fertilizer). Anyone know which one is correct? Maybe both?)
Oh, please. He was capable of conveying complex topics in a way most people can understand. Not just as a novelist, but his past education in medicine and many different fields. He was truly a renaissance man, if that has any meaning today. Not saying he's always right, but he is just as capable as anyone else to weigh in. Science does not thrive when its confined to just a group of experts talking to each other.

Wise fellow, that grug.
I can't tell exactly from a quick scan of Cringeley's commentary... but I get the impression that a "dry copper pair" the single-pair POTS equivalent of "dark fiber"... with the critical caveat that a dry copper pair can link two points only if they are serviced by the same central telephone company switch.
In the presence of outliers the median is a better predictor of underlying long-teem trends. Subtracting the median gives the delta from zero-median. The delta would be non-zero if there is a long term effect. Here the delta is zero in a number of cases.
> but due to all the `apt-get`ing in my dockerfiles, I'd call them anything but reproducable.

Giving this some thought, I agree if you use package managers and base images I don't think it's possible to build images in a perfectly reproducible fashion.

But I would ask: don't image tagging and registries to provide a reproducible output (binary, packages, etc.) make it unnecessary to provide reproducible builds? Why does it matter if the build is perfectly reproducible if the actual output of the image can be reproduced? I.E. if I can run the software from an image built two years ago, does it matter if I can't build the exact Dockerfile from two years ago?

EDIT: fixed some grammar issues

While I like the functional aspects of Rust, not sure I would call it a functional language - still very much worth learning though.

Maybe a slightly unconventional answer, but F# is quite nice.

your comment badly aged
> you can't have stuff that is shared with you on your local hard drive

What does this complaint mean? You mean Drive doesn't sync down shared files for you to use offline?

On my Chromebook the integration between local files, my Drive files, and Drive files shared by others with me is completely transparent, including local caching of files I've viewed so I can access them again offline, which furthermore includes the directory listings of "shared with me" with the cached and not cached files distinguished by bold or grey names. I can also explicitly mark Drive files as available offline, if I want to manage it manually.
I like to write loops where they follow the functional map/filter/reduce paradigm where they don’t mutate anything except some initial variables you “fold” over (defined immediately prior to the loop) and which are treated immutable (or uniquely owned) after the loop.

I find this has good readability and by containing the mutation you can reason about it “at a distance” quite simply since further away it’s for-intents-and-purposes pure code.

What you might lose are the compiler-enforced guarantees that a functional language gives you. Some languages give you the best of both worlds - with rust you could put this in a pure function (immutable inputs, owned outputs) and the borrow checker even reasons about things like this within a function body.
It may not be common, but I don't think it's inherently not doable. I worked at a Ruby/Rails startup that had a monolithic API codebase, but also a number of new microservices written in Go using various AWS products. The Platform team that maintained all of this was small like 3-pizza-small and we hired both junior devs as well as interns if they showed an appropriate aptitude. So I wouldn't rule it out. Btw the example company is gone for this intent/purpose but did exist as such.

In general I think working at (very) small startups is the best way for very capable, self-learner types to be exposed and allowed to do lots of things in a short time as it's basically a free-for-all matching tasks with anyone who can get it done.

Edit: after writing this, I realize that the other Ruby/Rails place I'm working at (Shopify) does let non-senior devs do some complicated stuff in the core monolith and jobs that gets reviewed by senior devs. The team I'm on runs Kanban-style 2-week minicycles (didn't like Sprint'ing) and encourage different people to try tackling different things, often with pairing or review of proposed approach.
How does that follow? They are entirely different companies. Twitter will make its own mistakes. (Perhaps Musk-related, who knows?)

Seems a bit irresponsible to publish this analysis which seems to contradict an enormous body of scientific work (the public perception of which is quite crucial for human survival) without making any consideration of apparent discrepancies. It’s fine to observe something that seems off and write about it, but I think it would be appropriate to add “This most likely doesn’t disprove climate change, but I’m curious to dig deeper into the discrepancies”. If I wrote an article with data suggesting that drinking bleach is healthy, I’m obligated to add a disclaimer that says not to take this to heart just yet.
