> Every fiction is a fabrication.

There is obvious difference between selling fabrications as fiction and selling fabrications as your real world experiences. The decision to mark it as such is not irrelevant and is not something you can blame purely on publishers.

Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement.
Maybe because there was one of the original creators of C behind Go, and Pike is a de facto old school Unix guy? Many people, myself included, thought we'd get C but a little more modern and secure.

I don't get your comparison. Go is much lower level than Haskell, even with a GC.
Horseshit. A few nurses were stood down because they wouldn't get a vaccination in a pandemic. Good.

Your take on the Three Waters reforms is just completely wronghewded, there is so much misinformation about those changes it's ridiculous. Water systems need fixing up in NZ and it makes no sense to let small local councils do it when larger bodies can borrow at better rates to get the infrastructure work done.
It is plan B if you live in China. The West is not under treath to lose access to ARM.

They failed to act early on COVID so as not to panic us plebs, then lied about the efficacy of masks so the healthcare workers would have enough.

We discovered Epstein literally ran an entire secret pedo/blackmail island, then he died alone in a cell, and a full list or investigation of the people who visited has never even been considered.

Powell went from saying no inflation, to transient inflation, to inflation but it's good?? Reeks of the same "don't panic the plebs" attitude as the COVID crisis.

Apparently the entire push for more vitamin D was based on.. nothing? Someone just made up a number?

The media repeatedly said everything about Hunter Biden was baseless right until the smoking gun videos came out and now it's true?

Are you kidding me? No one trusts them because every single one is repeatedly caught lying. It's not complicated..

This article instead tries to argue about the peak-end rule and complexity and essentially explain away the distrust as a byproduct of stupidity. Casting those who distrust institutions as inferior idiots is the worst possible strategy to regain trust.

> Sewing machines were all the rage I guess. ;)

The Simplicity Pattern Company has been selling sewing pattern guides since 1927.

In the early 1970s it was one of the "Nifty Fifties":

> The Nifty Fifty were a group of premier growth stocks, such as Xerox, IBM,
Polaroid, and Coca-Cola, that became institutional darlings in the early
1970s. All of these stocks had proven growth records, continual increases in
dividends (virtually none had cut its dividend since World War II), and high
market capitalization.

> The Nifty Fifty were often called one-decision stocks: buy and never sell.
Because their prospects were so bright, many analysts claimed that the only
direction they could go was up. Since they had made so many rich, few if any
investors could fault a money manager for buying them.
At the time, many investors did not seem to find 50, 80 or even 100 times
earnings at all an unreasonable price to pay for the world’s preeminent
growth companies.

The SteamDeck.

I have been purchasing games that run natively on linux for a long time as a small way of supporting the devs that take the time to release them. So far the problem was that moments I spend on my computer are usually dedicated to work of some type, so my 650~ game library has sat unused for the better part of the last years.

With the SteamDeck I managed to start and to finish some of the titles that have piqued my interest over this period.

The fact that it can be used as a regular computing device (it can run in desktop mode with KDE) is pretty nice also.
I'd say not only is it a lie but is actively a not very good strategy to pursue right now, at least not all out as though you were pursuing some kind of multi-cloud end game.

At the K8s level, it seems like the introduction of the Gateway API is probably a good level of abstraction to work towards that will keep things about as flexible as possible without all of the insanity that comes with going beyond that to keep everything 100% vendor neutral.

Abstract:

> The recent work “Combinatorial Optimization with Physics-Inspired Graph Neural Networks” [Nat Mach Intell 4 (2022) 367] introduces a physics-inspired unsupervised Graph Neural Network (GNN) to solve combinatorial optimization problems on sparse graphs. To test the performances of these GNNs, the authors of the work show numerical results for two fundamental problems: maximum cut and maximum independent set (MIS). They conclude «that the graph neural network optimizer performs on par or outperforms existing solvers, with the ability to scale beyond the
state of the art to problems with millions of variables.»

> In this comment, we show that a simple greedy algorithm, running in almost linear time, can find solutions for the MIS problem of much better quality than the GNN. The greedy algorithm is faster by a factor of 104 with respect to the GNN for problems with a million variables. We do not see any good reason for solving the MIS with these GNN, as well as for using a sledgehammer to crack nuts.

It’s more that Australians don’t care about things that don’t actually mean anything, it’s accepted that the politburo will pass laws that are irrelevant and the general population ignores the ones that don’t matter

This has worked so far because we don’t have extremist police who apply the law to the letter- they themselves see laws as mostly suggestions
Nice straw man you've built there.
1) How do lockdowns to minimise deaths violate natural justice?

2) Refusing a reasonable request from an employer is grounds for termination in NZ employment law. Asking people working with vulnerable people to be vaccinated against the disease causing that pandemic is a reasonable request. The only virtue signalling was from the nurses who martyred themselves on the altar of misinformation.

3) No, the Three Waters reforms aren't just handing control over critical infrastructure to Māori. In the proposed legislation, 50% of members of the new controlling entities will be representatives of relevant territorial authorities, 50% representatives of mana whenua, that is, relevant Māori tribes. [0]

I can explain why the reforms are necessary if you like, but it's not directly relevant to the current discussion.

The make-up of the new entities is in line with the constitutional principle of partnership between the Crown and Māori, derived from legal interpretations of, and attempts to reconcile, the differing texts of the Māori version of the Treaty of Waitangi and the English version. [1] [2] Remember that NZ is a common law country, so, like the UK, we have no explicit constitution, and previous legal decisions set the basis for further decisions, so our constitutionality law is shaped by legal precedent.

The link you shared is misinformed at best, deliberate racebaiting misinformation at worst, there's a bit of that going around, and it's often expressed by people who grew up when racism against Māori was commonplace. The man who operates the website you linked runs a hydraulics firm, he's not a constitutional lawyer, just so you know.

I'm happy to explain more about our country if you're looking to learn more.

Isn't this just an argument that individual consumption is not the problem? And likely a planned distraction perpetrated by agriculture & industry.

I half agree with the author in that "conservation simply can’t do the job" but their supposition seems to be framed as household use alone.

Conservation changes / remove wasteful agriculture would be plenty.
> Every container escape is kernel bug

Well, not so fast. Ubuntu apport (its coredump collector and crash reporter) had a series of bugs over multiple years which could be used to escape from containers. This is all because coredump filter is still a global thing and not a per namespace one.

I agree with you it's actually more secure than people thought it is. A rule of thumb: just treat it as same as "running multiple applications with different user". Yeah, not a real sandbox. But nowadays also not many low hanging fruits, either.
2017 (when this is from) seems to me that it was around the time there was this weird resurgence of people claiming that “modern makefiles” (aka. carefully handcrafted makefiles) were fine.

…but, it was a fad, and it faded, because make is not fine, in any non-trivial incarnation.

Yep, sure. A little script for your projects that only you care about and runs on your machine… go for. I’m fond of make for trivial purposes, it’s easy to remember, it’s widely installed.

…but, make doesn’t scale; the only way to scale make is to generate your makefiles programmatically; once you do this, your makefiles are no longer makefiles, they’re arcane generated non-portable custom build scripts.

Various tools do this; autotools, cmake, etc.

Sure, those are tools which are can use if you want, but the elegance and joy of using make vanishes once you use them; you are no longer using make, you are now using a different tool.

…so, I have mixed feelings about posts like this. On the one hand, that’s cool; but on the other, you’re really wasting your time learning this stuff because, realistically, you’ll never use it. By the time you need it, you’ll be using a meta tool that generates human-unreadable Makefiles for you.

I suppose you could look at it that way. I certainly did, and it has taken me a very (stupid) long time come to a slightly different understanding. Not saying it is better necessarily. I just find it closer to true more of the time in my life.

Misusing words may or may not be stupid—without more information, including some nebulous stuff about intent and interpretation, I have no way of saying for sure in a given encounter.

What I would say instead is that many people seem to see “misuses words because [cocky/pretentious/know-it-all/careless]” as a heuristic for stupid. It isn’t a great heuristic, but knowing that people use it to rank you and choosing speech accordingly…isn’t stupid.

Of course Wayland can’t secure your kernel or rtld, but I’m pretty sure that one of its advantages is that it can at least not send a random app the password you’re typing in.

And no, I don’t think you can really do that with x11. There was Trusted X11 long time ago, but I don’t think it was practically useful - as in, maintainable and sustainable.

As far as I understand sandboxing in Linux is “70% there” - it will get there eventually, but for now the 30% hole makes it not practically useful. It’s not bad at pretending it’s doing something though, and for (many? most?) paying customers that’s enough.

That's a great comparison of producing, installing, maintaining and recycling, but what about the thing we're building this in the first place? Generating power?

Let's say we shut down a coal power plant, which was 30% of a region's energy mix, and want to replace its output. What's the total cost and environmental impact of doing that with solar vs nuclear? This is the only thing that matters. Even if solar panels are 100x better per-peak-watt, by the time you add all the overprovisioning and storage necessary to cover the baseline during nights and overcast days, the numbers look very very different.

The only question that matters is what solution can cover the need, currently met by fossil fuels. That solution isn't just the generation method, it's everything else we need in order to match not just the baseline and peak output, but the entire curve.
From what I've read, making the event horizon go away is a limit of current physics, in part because current physics can't cope with singularities.
The initial escorting fee isn’t the entirety of what someone will pay over the lifetime of their client/provider relationship.

To put it simply it’s like the initial consultation at a lawyers office. That fee is low, just to get a feel for the clients situation before talking about more. Young people have less lifetime value as customers because specifically they want high value things like sex.

Old guys are okay with mere companionship.

My son is 7 and plays Prodigy Maths (there is also an English version ) with account provided by school. He's so competitive with it with other kids in school and it's like an RPG with math battles and levelling up which he loves. He doesn't really play much other games so I let him play it when he wants (he also likes minecraft and I have a SNES mini). His sister (8) also has an account and is not really interested at all. They both read quite a lot.
Locke had more influence than Hobbes in GB and the other British exponents of Liberalism like Mill (who was very influential among Australia's founders) also clearly advocated for limits on state power.
This is a significantly altered fork of Dgraph. Outserv is purely focused on providing an amazing GraphQL + Custom Business Logic experience. It doesn't provide DQL mutations, and the DQL queries are marked deprecated and would go away soon. Outserv chases simplicity -- No more transactions, so no need for custom clients -- all interactions are done via the HTTP port (no public gRPC), etc.

There are also changes in deployment model of Outserv -- it's a lot simpler to deploy than Dgraph is.

I have an iOS shortcut that automatically re-builds and re-deploys a static site on Vercel at the start of every month.

You might want to copy that stuff ASAP if you haven't done so already, because it's not going to get any easier to read in the future. Both due to age of the media itself and the weird formats involved, for which reading equipment is starting to get quite rare and hard to find.

This would only apply to centralized exchanges and intermediary payment processors. A user can still trustlessly and anonymously transfer 1 ETH or 1000 DAI to another person in exchange for some goods or services, as they would with a cash transfer under the table.

It is not possible to insure a nuclear power plant. The Fukushima cleanup is currently estimated to be somewhere in the range of $200B - $1T. [1]

I don’t see how that matters if you can have arbitrarily many carriers.

Let’s say a carrier carries food for 3 days. To get one carrier 4 units out, send out 2 carriers, let them walk for one day, have one of them load up the other. The first has food for 1 day left and can return to base, the second has 3 days supplies and can walk to the finish.

To get one carrier 5 days out, do the first part twice to get 2 carriers at distance 1 with a day of supplies and 2 with 3 days of supplies. The first two can return to base, the other two can walk to distance 2, reload, and let one carrier reach distance 5. The other has food to return to distance 1. There, it can be met by a carrier who left base just in time with 2 days rations left, and both can return to base.

I think this scheme extends infinitely. To get one carrier N+1 days out, get 2 fully loaded N-3 days out, have one dash for the finish, and have one return to N days out, where they can be supplied with one day’ rations to return to N-1 days, etc.

(Given the description of https://puzzling.stackexchange.com/questions/233/travellers-... and https://www.mathsisfun.com/puzzles/cars-across-the-desert-so..., I think “get at least one carrier across” is the correct interpretation of the somewhat imprecise text on Wikipedia. It certainly can’t be “get all across”, as that’s trivial if you don’t allow intermediate dumps)
> My guess is that utilities are not happy with the decentralization of PV

This is exactly the problem.

There are plenty of artificial obstacles put to solar in the last years just to deter people to adopt it (the infamous sun tax for example, or the hard bureaucracy). Lately they tried to hire the roofs to put their own solar panels and keep the control over it.

The solution is clear and has been always there for decades, is just that is not the solution that they want

Solar panel prices are subject to regulation capture. They could sink overnight and became much more affordable if politicians have a will.
