I have two identical Dell boxes, one running Windows 10, the other Fedora. I have been using Windows since version 1 (a real dog) and Fedora since version 10. The Win system is my main workhorse because: 1. I need to exchange highly complex Word documents with my clients and LibreOffice is just not 100% compatible (although improving slowly). 2. The onset of RSI means that I'm heavily dependent on Nuance Dragon for dictating and it's not available for Linux (and Wine seems unable to run it). 3. Plug and play - my Brother colour laser printer worked perfectly with Windows from the moment I plugged it in. Linux recognised it as just a plain text printer; after some searching, I found I had to open a terminal and type in three lines of gobbledegook - and even then it didn't work. NOT good enough!
I quite like Linux despite the amateurish appearance of its GUI (and whoever thought that shrinking the vertical scroll bars to the minimum was a good idea?) but at the end of the day my priority has to be getting my work done and so far Windows is ahead of the pack. Oh, and another thing: I don't think Linux will ever gain an important place on the desktop while there are so many distros around. Three at the most with absolutely no compatibility issues between them is what's needed. One would be even better - it doesn't really matter which one.

That is 100% fair. I mostly develop on .NET+TS at $dayjob so I never really have experienced particular problems with nuget, and I've had the luck of never having an npm package go down on me either - so I just never really experienced the problems that people are frustrated about.

How to approach loss of consciousness is one of the problems I have with non-materialist theories of consciousness like dualism and panpsychism. If consciousness is not generated by my physical brain, how come physical chemicals can manipulate my conscious state? If the brain is a receiver for consciousness, surely my consciousness should exist independently of my brain? Interfering with a radio doesn’t change what’s happening in the recording studio. Why does the state of my brain affect my conscious state at all? If consciousness is fundamental, how can it ever stop?

It just seems that the brain is a physical system, and consciousness is a result of its physical processes. If you change the operation of those processes then you change states of consciousness. All the attempts to explain it otherwise seem inconsistent with the behaviour we observe.

Yes. I initially ran into binfmt_misc issues, did a bit of reading on Justine's github repo for Cosmopolitan and found it can be an issue, especially if you have WINE installed. Once I disabled it

My experience under anaesthesia was exactly like you described. One second I was lying in the hospital bed, with a doctor sticking a needle into me. Then the next second I was waking up in another hospital room. Time travel - absolutely no sense that I'd been asleep or dreaming. It's exactly like you said, like I felt like I simply hadn't existed during the intervening time.

Now I know what it feels like to be dead.

> If you want guaranteed volume and throughput, sign a contract for it.

I think that what a lot of people have problems with, is the fact that Hetzner doesn't actually tell you what is okay and what isn't. Would using 70% of the link's capacity be okay? What about 60%? Or maybe 50% is where they draw the line?

Here's another host that I use, Time4VPS, which have more clear terms: https://www.time4vps.com/?affid=5294 (remove affid for non-affiliate link if you don't want me to get a kickback in case anyone buys the services; I also host my blog with them)

Their servers include a guaranteed amount of bandwidth, either at 100 Mbps or 1 Gbps. And should you exceed that limit, they're also clear about what will happen:

> What happens if I run out of bandwidth?

> We reduce your VPS server’s port speed 10 times until the new month starts. No worries, we won’t charge any extra fees or suspend your services.

So if I'd exceed the amount that's given to me with any of their services, my 1 Gbps link would become a 100 Mbps link, or my 100 Mbps link would become a 10 Mbps link. On a technical level, it's obviously worse than Hetzner's offering (speaking of how much data you can actually move), but the transparency is nice and I wouldn't ever have to worry about my services being suspended because they don't automatically enforce any limitations just so they'd get to claim "unlimited" in their marketing materials.

Disclaimer: I still use Hetzner personally, they're one of the more affordable platforms (pretty much the same pricing tier as Time4VPS) out there. Though it's also nice when service providers have some provisions in place to automatically introduce limits for those things that could cause problems, like the amount of bandwidth that's available to you. Or just charge you for it outright, so there are fewer unknown variables.

I have multiple non-technical friend groups that uses Signal for communications. Onboarding is absolutely not in issue.

Some people refuse to use Whatsapp because of privacy and general evil monopolist issues and Telegram also has also been getting a bad reputation for hosting hate groups and such. So if you want to get everyone on board, Signal is the neutral territory to go for.

Signal is absolutely mainstream, at least here in Germany. My 60-something landlord uses Signal to communicate with me.

On SAS disks you can reduce the capacity. I don't know if this has any influence on spare sectors and write cycles though.
I mean this has to be tested. "Biodegradable" can come in many flavours. For a single use product it would make sense to rot within months. For a PCB it would make sense to rot within multiple decades to a century.

If you manage to get a PCB that has all the properties of a regular PCB, but rots after a century that would probably also make recycling the other materials on that PCB less energy intensive.

I used to see posts from 50-100 friends/family each week. Now I see posts from about 5 of them. I barely use facebook because it crashes my iPad browser (I refuse to install the app) and because the feed is so packed full of autoplay videos I can't stand it. Facebook is "dying" for myself and my entire sphere of friends/family but of course that's just an anecdote.

Any use of OS features by calling functions in the standard library should work though, right?

I think it's only dependencies that contain C code that would need further changes. I think you would have to recompile then with cosmopolitan libc.

It’s the same. I had surgery last year and it seemed like it was over in an instant. When you’re asleep your mind drifts in an out of different levels of awareness and consciousness from time to time so you have some experience of time passing. With anaesthesia in my experience there’s just nothing. Trying to remember what it was like, you might as well be trying to remember what it was like before you were born.
Bizarre comparison. Each individual in your example is killed. Having more killed doesn't make it better.

In the photographers example, each photographer is fractionally damaged, with the more photographers the less the damage.

Similarly, GPT3 is ripping off the words of everyone who has ever written anything on the internet, but to such a miniscule degree that none of us could ever have cause for complaint.
Part of the basic issue with that kind of "opt out" system is that the users who will pay for no ads probably have more disposable income and are therefore desirable advertising targets.

I believe I've heard it said that Hulu makes _more_ money per user on "with-ads" tier users than those that pay extra to remove the ads.

I don't understand the towing argument. If the driver/owner does not cooperate get a different driver, trucks are not that special, right? (Do they have so so so extra ignition locks?)

Police not doing their job. Yep, and Ottawa did not want to rock that boat too much. (I can imagine they had some initial guess as how quickly they will give up, so it could be that that's why the police was lenient with them. But who knows.)

While from a power and monopoly on violence perspective going after finances is very similar to using other means to get people to do this or that, but it sets a very bad precedent. Even if it's the easier way compared to doing the hard work of separating the truckers from their trucks one by one, and removing the trucks.
The truth is, he hasn't written (or at least presented) that much new material in his standup act in the decades after he finished the TV show. And that's OK, as a millionaire, I'd probably achieve far less than he has since the show (it's not not just standup he's been doing). But in an article praising his productive habbits, this strikes as a bit ironic.

In HBO's Talking Funny [1] (from 2011) there's a discussion (around 1:00–2:00), where it's pretty clear how his habbit of replacing old material in the act is far more infrequent and little-by-little compared to the other comedians around the table, who generally throw away their entire hour almost every year after a special.

If you are looking for a multi platform build of a specific version of python built with an obscure libc for some niche use case it's _very_ likely none of that is an issue for you, at all.

This is a non issue.
Actually I think this could be the reason. Given the sufficient number of A/B testing, it may turn out the more complex the interface is, the more likely the customer is likely to (make the mistake of) spending more.

Well the SSD should have a built in battery capable of doing whats necessary for years.

Just like your computer has a CMOS battery that's capable of running the clock for years. It's no different. In fact, many computers will refuse to boot if the clock loses time because all the digital certificates on drivers aren't valid yet.

Computer requires battery backup to remain functional. SSD requires backup battery to remain functional. I don't see the difference.
I used to be the same way — do you drink caffeine after 4PM? I was convinced I was a night owl and my most productive hours were 10PM until 2AM. That was until, at suggestion of my partner, I stopped drinking caffeine in the late afternoon and evening. As long as I do that I have no problem getting to sleep consistently and easily.

May not be the case for you but for my entire 20s I simply didn’t realize how much caffeine was actually impacting me.
Everyone who was high risk could get the vaccine by March 2021 (in the US). If they didn't it was because of their personal choice. Keeping the schools closed to protect the vulnerable is one thing, but to protect those who don't want to protect themselves is a different thing.
Apart of the already named reasons (mainly legal): I once actually did it, because I LIKED the applicant. The result was simply lots of follow up mails on how and why I am mistaken. Wouldn't do this again.

>>In your “car with unpaid option” example I think the manufacturer is in the right to remove it if they didn’t explicitly say you can keep it.

See, this is where we're going to disagree. Manufacturer's control over an item ends when the item is sold. If they have an issue with how the car was released from warranty repair, then they can go after the service centre that did the repair, not the owner. Or even if they want to go after the owner, they should do it through legal means, not just modify your product without asking.

>>It’s not clear from the tweet thread if Tesla actually said “sure, you can keep the larger battery”.

Tesla doesn't need to say that. It literally doesn't work like this anywhere, ever. The car was released after the warranty repair, documents were signed for that I'm sure, and after that point the car is what it is. If they installed a larger battery(and enabled it), whether intentionally or by accident, then it belongs to you at that point. Manufacturer should not be able to modify a product you own without your explicit permission, full stop.

I'll use one other analogy and then will give analogies a rest I think.

Imagine picking up a brand new car from the dealer, the car is advertised as having CarPlay support. You buy it, drive it around, then after a year bring it in for its first service - during which the manufacturer goes "oh, but this car was never actually speced with CarPlay support, it must have been a mistake at the factory, we'll remove it now". They might be technically correct, but it literally should be illegal for them to remove it. It's not different than them saying "oh the car was built with 7 seats but we can see that it was ordered with 5, so we removed the 2 extra seats during service" - again, that would be just theft. The car was released from their ownership as-is, and if they have an issue they can pursue it through courts, not just remove an item they think doesn't belong to you.

Like, what if they got it wrong? What if the battery upgrade was actually paid for and Tesla says it wasn't? Do we want them to have unlimited right to modify a product that YOU OWN, just because their database says something? Or should they go through the legal system if they think something is wrong? Because I'm very sure I know what the answer to this one is.
Really short term thinking if that's true. DoorDash/UberEats might not be around forever. Its also not clear whether people will order the same amounts if an actual recession rolls around.

By prioritizing DoorDash over in-store customers, you're just destroying your long-term value prop and brand.
Apparently you and I are outside the market. This is exactly what I used Instagram, Facebook (when I was on it) and Twitter for. Only Twitter remains. There was a brief period (around 2005-2008 I think) where the majority of the people I knew IRL (incl. family) were online talking to each other, showing each other what they were doing, no political discussions, no fighting, it was a flash in the pan in the end. I don't think we can ever go back to that as there was no money in it.
That's surprising. If I was writing this I'd have instrumented the code for the buckets to (optionally) log the use, and probably add an alert.

Who cares? Engage with the argument that it’s self inflicted losses. If it’s a service for citizens then by definition it cannot have losses because it is _not_ a business.

Even applying the idea of profit and loss to the post office is using a paradigm against it that does not fit the reason for its creation
I have an even better idea. How about creating a big network where everyone could have their little space and put whatever they want in it? The main method of content discovery would be by adding “links” to other people's places. Since it would be interconnected like a spider web, we could cáll it “the web” or something…
> I found it very confusing that I had to attempt to recv() from a socket and fail in order to even tell that the connection was no longer active. I expected that I would call e.g. isconnected() on the sockets after accept() tells me something happened to it. It does make sense to me now that it's better to have recv() fail and tell me about the disconnect. Otherwise, I might mistakenly assume that if I call isconnected() I am then guaranteed to have a good recv(). By keeping the disconnect tied to recv() failing, I know I need to handle potential disconnects at any recv() invocation. The same goes for send().

After thinking about it for a second, it makes sense since any check of isconnected() followed by a send() or recv() is subject to a race condition of the socket failing after the call to isconnected() but before the subsequent calls. You can never know without trying to send or receive, and even those may only fail "in the middle" of the transmission.

> The argument is that there are no easily determinable limits.

But the fact that there is a limit at all, means that you can definitely display it somewhere.

Suppose you have two users, John and Jane, John is in the 1% of most valuable customers, Jane signed up last month. The data center has plenty of free capacity in June, but is closer to capacity in July.

Now suppose that each user has their own dashboard for resources.

John:
June - Your bandwidth limit is 200 TB. Please contact customer support if you need to increase it.
July - Your bandwidth limit is 160 TB. Please contact customer support if you need to increase it.

Jane:
June - Your bandwidth limit is 40 TB. Options to increase this limit will become available after X$ in total spend.
July - Your bandwidth limit is 30 TB. Options to increase this limit will become available after X$ in total spend.

As a matter of fact, Hetzner already has something like that under their "Limits" section:

Limits
Limits are set per customer and are counted across all projects that you created. If you need more resources, just send us a request, and we are happy to adjust them for you.
Outgoing traffic to ports 25 and 465 are blocked by default on all Cloud Servers. Send a request for unblocking these ports. Please note that we generally do not answer questions regarding limit increase on the telephone.

You don't necessarily have to advertise the fact that your limits will be dependent on lots of variables and will change (though you should disclose it). What you shouldn't do is say that there are no limits, which is clearly lying. Even if the lie only becomes relevant to a very small part of the clientele who'll be affected by this, it's still lying.

Of course, that's not the world that we live in and "unlimited" offerings will be a mainstay of marketing in the industry, for the better or worse. Probably better for the org and worse for the clients. Kind of why I also hate mobile carriers being dishonest with their data plans. It's like nobody even knows what "unlimited" means.
