If I had to pick my version of this solution to fix 60% of git's learning curve problems:

a) Don't tell people about stash. All Commits Everything.

b) All commands that change the working directory or branches should fail on uncommitted work and ask you to git commit. It already does this for untracked changes.

c) Show people show git branch BACKUP (requiring a commit) + git reset --hard BACKUP will always get you back to where you started safely.

Hair loss "cures" do nothing else for your health, and are also unlikely to work.

Exercising outdoors more, to become less "pale and pudgy", is good for your health, even if for some reason it fails to make you less pale and pudgy. Being outdoors, and exercising, also both improve one's mental health in a way that baldness "cures" will not.

Speaking as a pale balding dude, I get what you're saying, but chasing baldness cures is unlikely to help. Trying to do something about "pale and pudgy" is more likely to work, and also likely to have side-benefits as well even if it doesn't work.

>>Have we already "seized control" over these companies?

Yes, the government has. It just allots them quite a bit of liberty over how those companies are managed.

Fundamentally, once the state dictates how the property may be used in private interaction, it has abrogated the right of the nominal owner to their private property.

An emotional need to cancel out complaints is classic toxic positivity.

It should be noted that anyone who is complaining is probably a regular user of the application, and as such has decided that they over-all like the application enough to use it.
Vapourizing it, but yeah. I replied to the GP post with some brief discussion.

We're working in the lower troposphere (like 0-50 m). The stratosphere frightens me (and the folks who want to spray sulphur compounds up there are terrifying.

Water in the upper troposphere (AKA Marine Cloud Brightening) like Silver Lining is trying to do feels like a pretty good cooling approach. I wrote a jokey paper in the 80s about giant volcano-powered teakettles spewing steam into the upper atmosphere but the much simpler approach of simply spraying seawater into the air is clever.
Fantastic job making taxsim more accessible! We've built an open-source version of taxsim called OpenFisca US [1] which we expose in our (also open-source) web app, PolicyEngine US [2]. We haven't yet implemented all of taxsim—we only have the most recent couple of years, and not all states—but we have some advantages like implementing means-tested benefits and being able to simulate custom tax and benefit reforms, both on individuals and the population (e.g. the budgetary and poverty impacts).

I'd love to get in touch. Will email you from max@policyengine.org.

Do I have to work? I could retire now to a greatly reduced standard of living. By the most absurdly optimistic predictions I could retire to the same standard of living. How will I know when those predictions go from absurd to reasonable to pessimistic?

Part of this is I have no idea how long I will live. Family history gives me anywhere from 3 more years to 50 more, and medical science can improve the upper range.

It's pretty much a genetic thing, I recommend radical acceptance. Don't give hair hucksters your time or hard earned cash.
It's a common way to represent entropy (the information content). One could measure bits per x for any x, of course, but bits per character (nee byte) is quite common and goes back to Shannon.
On the one hand, the fact that many "zombie companies" already went bust in 2020 when they had a good excuse, might mean there are fewer now than is normal at the beginning of a slowdown.

On the other hand, we have had loose money (interest rates near zero) for most of the last decade or more. I don't think that makes the oncoming recession really "inflation triggered [rather than] caused by credit excesses".
It's an interesting subconscious effect. I have my theory but I'd probably get in trouble explaining it here.

You're complaining about something I'd consider an upside, as opposed to a downside. Instead of some weird, one-stop-shop hivemind, you're going to need to piecemeal out your interactions with likeminded people and in this quest, you're going to be introduced to things you would have never sought out, which will also enhance and add to your life.

You can go to church or spirituality gatherings and talk with people who are into that stuff. Then you can go find a group of people who like the same physical activities as you, and so on.
Eating healthy isn't giving money to a huckster. There is nothing but benefit to eating healthy. In fact one can reverse most age related illness by making simple dietary changes. It is true that some people are more epigenetically vulnerable to Alopecia but it can still be reversed in them.

I’m not a lawyer, but I believe Slack would have to show they were harmed in some way to successfully sue.

They can certainly attempt to block 3rd party clients, though. Or threaten to / actually sue, even if they’re unlikely to be successful.
>Valid geo-engineering....

Nope, not with the data we have today. None of this stuff is backed by any decent research, yet it always seems to be suggested. We have no idea what the effects are of doing any of the things you suggest. For example NASA has flip-flopped on the whole idea that volcano's spewing ash into the sky could be a means of cooling the earth.

Putting a bunch of metal filings in the ocean or in the upper atmosphere sounds like a very dangerous to do that would need a tremendous amount of caution before attempting.
Reduce greatly the extraction and use of fossil fuels (cleaner energy sources, efficient and not for leisure travel) at the same time than massive carbon capture efforts. And I mean not to keep emissions as something is being captured, as some "green" alternatives are trying to be sold, like capture carbon into fuels that will be released shortly anyway.

At a big enough scale, GHG may start to reduce globally. That is the disease. Without that won't be any solution, just fragile mitigations in our way to the end of civilization as we know it. No matter how expensive or damaging it looks, the alternative will be always worse.

If, besides doing that, you want to add some mitigation to the warming, and that don't slow down nor stop GHG reduction, be may guest. But applying nail polish instead of stopping an hemorrhage is somewhat shortsighted, priorities should be clear.
I wasn't proposing to eat unhealthily (not recommended for anyone).

My intention is to drive home the fact that unless you're severely malnourished, have alopecia, or are taking chemo drugs, hair loss is most likely genetic and not something "fixable" with current technology.

The hair cling drugs come with serious side effects.

I do not agree with this. While there is not much actual tactical advantage for Russia then they are not distinguishable by very sane judgements. Any same person would have concluded that attacking Ukraine would inflict huge losses, yet this decision was made. This means that ruling out Russia using nuclear weapon against Ukraine is not possible based on this principle.
I appreciate the feeling. Finding out how a trick is done quite literally takes away the magic.

But pretty much all magic tricks are like this. From the very simple to the extremely complex. The mechanics of a trick are only a small part of it. The story, presentation, emotional content and humour of a performance are even more important.

It's the difference between ballet and a high-jump. Both are physically impressive feats, but one is so much more than that.
Huh. That is so strange. Your ideas about the browser extension is exactly what I have in mind. Ill post a link on sudopad once it is ready. I was going to build a Firefox extension first since that's what I use. Does that work for you?
Have a look at the history of western settlements in the "new world" and you will find that it was not a healthy enterprise. Disease, injury, starvation etc killed off massive numbers before they either acclimatised or learned how to deal with the hostile environment.

I can't see space exploration being any different. The only difference is that current society is fairly comfortable so the idea of leaving your comfortable home to risk everything on travelling to a new settlement on an other planet is distasteful.

Give it a few years and the situation on Earth may change, climate change, over population or simply the political situation may make travelling elsewhere more attractive.
Nevertheless, many people like ebooks, for a variety of reasons. And I'll put the marginal environmental cost of another book on my reader, against the cost of producing and shipping a physical book, and then turning on a lamp to read it at night anyway.

What is a zombie company?

This struck me as a wolf whistle, and the immediate follow-on paragraph confirmed that suspicion. HTTPS enforcement is a major migration, yes, but other than IPv4 (sadly a long way off) it's the only "technical deprecation" of any kind I can think of that websites have dealt with. Implying these kinds of deprecations are commonplace, rather than 2 in 30-40 years, is a little odd.

Embedded maps & Like/Share buttons are not "technologies", they're product offerings from service-providers. Businesses change their offerings over time, this is common in all industries & not a problem specific to websites / the internet / tech.
Yeah, I'm aware of the any number of infinite Evil China (TM) hypotheticals. Let's put the sinophobia on hold for just a second, and answer my question: what are the practical (meaning documented) privacy/security concerns with TikTok? I linked to a report from a (gasp, Western) group showing that there weren't any, but I'm aware that the report is a year old, so I'm very interested in documented recent information, not just mindless anti-China ranting.
It is a peculiar paper.

It starts by presenting evidence of results demanding extremely sophisticated tooling, and the rest of the paper explores methods utterly incapable of producing anything approaching those results. In some cases, nothing we have today could produce the results.
Once on an embedded system, we found 30% of our processing time was spent handling TLB misses.

We also didn't have access to the code that set up the page tables. Somehow I got the linker to emit a function hook which I used to defrag the page tables after they were written but before the MMU was enabled.

I remember thinking, "This is not what I learned about in school."
Didn't that guy get murdered, with his friends complicit? Doesn't sound like a role model to me.
It is meant as a guide and criterion for finding what matters the most in one's life and one's existence and organize their way of life around that. If it was your last day (and you were a philosopher) you would only concern yourself with the most fundamental and essential aspects of existence and questions of life.
It is a reference to the Socratic question and quest: "what is the best course in life". He is instructing people to organize the totality of their lives, in answering and as answer to this question. Even if you do long term planning (and he is not saying you shouldn't) he is telling you to focus and concern that worthy life plan of yours, in answering and as answer to that question.

Implicitly, he is also saying that what drives people to waste their time and concern themselves with petty issues, unimportant to their fundamental existence and be drowned in "everydayness", is the ever-lurking-in-the-background assumption that "I have got plenty of time".
Kind of like we find out weekly what happens when Facebook decides it needs to enforce US foreign policy for its worldwide users?
In addition to the link I provided I would also suggest reading up on Dr. Fahy's research on the Thymus. [1] And yes I would stay far far away from any hair related drugs.

Greed, selfishness, and hubris.

We need to reform the crazy polluting way we run our economies. There is no pareto optimal path, any more, so some very powerful people are going to have to loose a lot.

It can be peaceful, violent, or the world can burn.

The Earth will survive. I expect civilisation will too. But the losses will be catastrophic

Arrogant schemes like these have a purpose: to cover up the underlying corruption.

There's a perverse incentive for agents and producers because they typically only make money if the artist makes money, so anything you do to encourage that drive to make new projects nets you more money. If your victim blows all their money on drugs or parties or buying ridiculous things, then they are highly motivated to get back to work.

Amazon has a monopoly over commerce in the same way Aquafina has a monopoly over water.

Water is everywhere, much like commerce. Aquafina like Amazon might be the leader but the 2 companies global marketshare in their respective businesses is maybe 1%, probably even less when measured in volume/quantities exchanged and not in dollars
The point is it's not fair that Terms of Service can impose that restriction. Just like it wasn't fair when you were only allowed to use phones that you rented from your phone company.
I really like the fact that it can be used offline. Sadly it seems to be AGPL licensed, which makes it pretty much untouchable by anything adjacent to any sort of business which employs lawyers.
How long does it take for those RSUs to vest? "There's many a slip twixt the cup and the lip", as the old saying reminds us; though the recruiters earnestly hope we will forget.

I got fired once, shortly before my first round of RSUs vested; that left an impression. None of my examples were hypothetical, actually; another time I watched the value of my stock rise, rise, rise - right up to instant-retirement, fuck-you-money level - then crash back down, before any of it vested, and stay there. Total compensation at that job ended up being total salary. Both of these companies were publicly traded.

In reality, if both of the hypothetical employers in your scenario offered a reasonable salary, I'd go for whichever had more interesting work, friendlier people, a shorter commute - whatever would make my life better. If somehow, inexplicably, I felt thoroughly inspired by both options, happy to go work in either place, and it really did come down to nothing more than the money - I'd still probably pick higher salary over higher TC. Unless it was, like, double, and then I'd be tempted. But I don't think I'm going to get any such offer.
Interesting. Can you kindly let me know your browser and os?
Because the Linux community also cares about expanding freedom- and privacy-respecting general purpose computing to as broad a user base as possible. Simplifying the user experience is a necessary, but not necessarily sufficient, requirement for that.
The Slab Allocator for Linux keeps an object tag for each slab, which can be of different sizes.

Then we get the ZFS extent allocator, written mostly by the same programmer (Jeff Bonwick).

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slab_allocation

Doing tagged slab allocation seems like a reasonable thing for a hardware microarchitecture to consider.

The article starts by complaining about modern CPU complexity, five-level page tables to maintain the illusion of a linear, uniform memory space.

Then goes on to juxtapose that complexity with the an architecture that would use that complexity to support tagged memory objects more directly, part of the system ABI.

If we're going to spend all of our time manipulating memory objects anyway, why mess around?

Was the Intel iAPX so much of a disaster, compared to a modern x86_64 architecture, that we are forever forbidden to even consider such hardware?

I liked the story a lot, but I can't help noticing that the end of the story, she said "I realized it was not that remarkable for a person to understand what another person needed"...in a case where she didn't say what she wanted. She didn't say "I want to drive the boat". Lindsay and Jeff just know.

Now this is better than a fiance who, when you tell him what you want, tells you not to want that. But it's not what one actually needs to do, which is to say what you want and have friends (or a fiance) who cares, and listens.

Show HN: AWS Auto Cleanup – Automatically cleanup your AWS account
I launched AWS Auto Cleanup (https://github.com/servian/aws-auto-cleanup) in April 2019. The goal of the project was to create a tool that would delete unused or abandoned AWS resources.

Each supported resource has a maximum time-to-live (TTL) which can be extended by allowlisting your resources in a simple web UI.

I've been slowly added support for more commonly used/expensive AWS resources over time.

Feedback, comments, suggestions and more always welcome.
No the cost of launching seed robots would be small, nothing comparable with launching everything already ready to use.

So it is not at all exclusive with being on schedule with the other, more important, projects.

But I agree we must spend the most of our time and resources building solar (and wind) capacity, and storage.
