That’s tricky as people have a shocking propensity to build in flood plains either way and dams only mitigate flooding rather than prevent it. I personally doubt that many people are going to change their mind because the location they want to build their home likely floods every 90 years vs every 30.

Bill a friend of mine built a large addition on a house which had flooded twice while he had been living there, once actually reaching the second story. In his mind it’s picture perfect 99.9% of the time so what’s an inconvenience every few decades. In the end he died before the next flood, but now there is a nice house in a flood plain.

This isn’t reserved to individuals, companies didn’t abandon large areas of NYC after the last flood. https://www1.nyc.gov/site/planning/data-maps/flood-hazard-ma...

Sadly, the POSIX specification for "make" is notoriously limited. They only spec'ed what everyone could agree on, and that wasn't much. I'm sure there are cases where a make that only implements the POSIX spec is fine.. and if this is useful, great!! However, many projects that use "make" will outgrow it. I think many people just assume GNU make when they use a make; GNU make has lots of additional capabilities that turn out to be useful, and it runs practically everywhere.

Your mileage may vary.

Nice to see there's a solution, thanks for sharing it. Now that I know about apt-clone I don't know if I'll ever do a distro-level upgrade again though, as opposed to a new install...
I do see some differences between "free software" and "open source" here, Specifically that "free software" is much more common and something that could be expected to be written naturally, without understanding this space. "open source" is not so common as part of natural language, and its main use has been around the realm of software and licensing.
Wow... is that one of the worst cities in the USA?
It’s funny, I had the same realization about running a business like 5 years ago: If you’re too rigid, everything becomes a Big Deal and needs addressing and there goes all your energy. Hadn’t made the connection to my current situation, so thank you for that.
I live in Utah and was a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (the dominant church in Utah -- which often bleeds into the culture). In my opinion, the large amount of former missionaries (who often participate in door-to-door sales-like evangelizing) in Utah provides an ideal workforce willing to participate in difficult sales. Many of my friends and family went into sales after their missions as an easy way to make a lot of money. I think this is a large piece to your question.

Additionally, as another comment has said many of the stay-at-home mothers I know who are members of the Church become huge advocates for these pyramid schemes and push them onto friends and family.

This is just anecdotal data so I apologize for the lack of sources other than my own, subjective experience.
Excellent work, just downloaded it, thanks.

Apps that work offline are my favourite as even though I have 4g and wifi, these connections can sometimes be slow or just down and it’s sad seeing apps just not work in those scenarios.

The mapping is the other way around. That most fraud requests USD is indisputable, but looking at it the other way, a disproportionate amount of the movement of Crypto (incl. bitcoin) is fraud-related compared to traditional currencies [assuming we define fraud separately from corruption.]

This disproportionate share may be less than it appears when you take into account all of the things that Crypto is typically not used for, but the fact remains that there are daily stories about even large Crypto proponents being defrauded.

That this fraudulant activity is enabled by the underlying mechanics (i.e. the decentralization and lack of a verifying authority [i.e. the primary draw of Crypto afaik]) of the platform is worthy of being brought up when discussing the technological merits of the platform.
Kubernetes isn't that complicated, it's distributed computing that is complicated. Kubernetes makes it as simple as it can be without oversimplifying it.
ASML took all the risk in developing EUV alone- everyone else thought it basically couldn’t be done- and now they hold the key patents.
Actually, I might know someone who can answer this. Or, at least they'll have to figure it out. I didn't realize this was that platform. A friend started a company last year to build a game based on this, and I'm pretty sure they already released said game.

Would reducing 5% of water from this point in Louisiana not also have a noticeable impact and that state's environment? I could see a significant legal battle here, much bigger than we've seen in cases where other states down stream feel as though they are wronged by states upstream. Louisiana will ask itself, "to what extent will we be forced to give water to the entire US Southwest?".
open source didn't want to separate itself for the 4 freedoms, it wanted to separate itself from the toxic and cultish free software culture. to put it more charitably, free software is ideological and utopian whereas open source is pragmatic and realistic. either way these differences are cultural and produce the exact same type of software. in almost every single case an open source piece of software is also free software and a free piece of software is also open source.
Dude. “Progressives” is a big span of people and ideas. “Give more shit away for free” is not a policy position and you know it. Do I like things like land grants (an actual progressive policy idea)? No, personally I’m skeptical. What we do need to be looking at though is things like the cost of health care, the cost of child care, access to education (including cost of student loans) that push people into economic hardship and ultimately into homelessness. Likewise - regardless of politics - we all recognize that we are in an enormous mental health crisis as a nation. You work on these root causes and work your way back into solving homelessness. None of that involved “giving away shit for free” and none of it happens overnight.

That said - maybe you should look at places like Houston, which is hardly a liberal hotbed but I understand has improved their homeless problem by… giving away free housing.
Why don’t people just do things that use less water?
Nice! I've been wanting something to take notes on in the shower and this looks perfect.

Are you able to share your thoughts on how well it worked? I don't trust Amazon reviews.
Please stay away from our water. I want no part in helping California become more unsustainable.

ETA: to westerners- You have enough water to maintain first class lifestyles. Allocate/ration it better or cap population. Stop stealing from others.
There's a lot of misconceptions about US electricity. This video does a nice job at pointing out the good and the bad.

narrator: it is not. you're not trying very hard if you haven't hit a case where k8s will lead to you banging your heads on any available walls trying to understand a behavior in an edge case (here is one that made walls hate me: https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/96858 and I know of a half dozen developers that learned about this the hard way).
Thank you!

This is definitely unacceptable. Are you considering legal action?
The source they used (freeDictionary) does all of the work of parsing wiktionary and giving you simple json object for each word. (It actually started life as a way to get the definitions out of Google's "define:" operator, but it seems those days are over)

It also, turns requests for some words, like "rolling" into definitions for their root word like "roll", even when wiktionary has distinct and useful definitions for the word, which makes it less than ideal for me.
Warner Bros. Discovery Faces First Earnings: Q2 Earnings Thursday
Utah has the strongest legal protections for MLMs/Pyramid Schemes/etc. in the country [1].

The demand for that safe harbor and the political will to pass it is largely a result of Mormonism. The hierarchy of the church discourages anyone from criticizing the next level 'above' them. There is also strong societal pressure for Mormon wives to be stay-at-home mothers, but the economic reality means they often need to find some way to make additional money. Add that to the Mormon mission system, and you have a vast number of people comfortable making cold calls (whether for Elohim or doTERRA).

By the way, you may be aware but there's a typo in the iOS app in the "Your Words" tab when your list is empty.

This seems like the correct thing to do. There was at one point in time a more popular push in India to “connect all the rivers”. I was too young to fully understand what that meant, and also it’s not always easy to know whether something that’s proposed is truly feasible.

But infrastructure to move water around your country especially when a large chunk is a desert makes perfect sense. I originally imagined this would mean somehow exploiting the Great Lakes but the argument suggested here seems quite practical.

Not saying wasteful agriculture on export crops shouldn’t be banned (it should) and perhaps people should stop having so many golf courses, but free flowing water is a true mark of advanced Civilization and it’s not unfair for a country to build the infra to guarantee it.
I am also an old curmudgeon.

I think its vastly more useful to think of a container as an RPM with layered tarballs, a chroot/jail, and some cgroup isolation.

Thinking of them as a virtual machine is the wrong metaphor.

Kubernetes replaces the thing we were doing in 2003 blasting around tarballs of software with scp and some scripts to start and stop things, and is the end result of evolving from that point to a much more dynamic one and with cgroups providing the ability to have software teams not quite clobber each other's workloads while running on the same hardware.

The problems it solves overlaps with many of the problems that VMs were addressing, but it is like looking at two different species that look quite similar but are in completely different animal families and are just similar because of the similar environment they evolved in.
I think that there might be some disconnect here. I personally wouldn't want to urinate in a bottle, but it really isn't that big of a deal to me. It's gross, but not something I'd really care about if it meant I got paid decently. There are also purpose-made products for camping that turn urine into a gel.

Of course I say this as a software engineer, so I'm very privileged and probably a bit disconnected from the choices these workers have to make.
Storing waste for 300 years isn't a huge problem. Dry casks shouldn't go anywhere.

The problem is dealing with the waste at that point, because it's so radiologically cold an amateur terrorist group could extract the plutonium, which is almost entirely still there.
Interesting. I wish there were some more explanation about why you would make these changes.
Use Flake.nix, Not Dockerfile
Agreed, this is a crazy outcome. I don't actually use the engine; I evaluated it a while ago for hobby projects but never went beyond that. So this doesn't directly affect me.
The point you're making is more visible in log form:

What would be better and how would it fix this issue?
Not only that, but they'd have to delete and force consumers to delete any copies of games published that use the license, unless I am misunderstanding it. There's no way that's enforceable (IANAL, but good lord).
That's fantastic ashish01. So cool to see the screenshots. Different times and capabilities.
RPG Maker: https://www.rpgmakerweb.com/

You can get it on Steam. The latest one (RPG Maker MZ) is currently $49. But you can get one of the older ones, which are a lot cheaper, they go as cheap as $2.

They are all on sale for the next...12 hours. Although they seem to go on sale quite often, they're also in a lot of game bundles.

My understanding is RPGMaker is the de-facto standard, and I know a lot of games have been made in it. And this project seems to be a reimplementation of an old RPGMaker in open-source.
> San Francisco spends $61k/year on homeless tents, which is more than median income in the US. The problem is not funding.

The city has 815,201 residents as of 2021. I think they can spend more than 13¢ per resident per year on this. Maybe there are other details that compound the problem, but the math insists that funding is obviously a massive part of the problem. They should be spending $20M a year at the very least, just to start, and increase from there. $20M/yr is $25 per resident per year. Even a homeless person could probably afford $25/yr, while the median household income in San Francisco is $120K/yr. If they want the problem fixed, paying for it to be fixed is really the only option.
If California hasn't lived within its means so far, why do we think that would change after giving them other regions' water?
Mixed workloads. Not everything inside MS is Windows, in fact, more than people probably realize is running on Linux. We have our own internal Linux distribution (Mariner) and own Kinvolk (which maintained CoreOS/Container Linux/Flatcar Linux).
Nuclear isn't dispatchable. If it's not always running the cost/kWh escalates dramatically. Solar and wind with storage are somewhat dispatchable, because you can decide when to discharge the storage systems.
similar new draconian anti-protest laws were introduced by the victorian state labor government and applied against citizen-science forest action.
- this cannot be pinned on sQumo or the libs.

this is not about the bad man who used to be in charge.

the mistreatment of civic minded protestors in ausfailure is an enactment of bipartisan determination to squeeze more wealth out of the planet as long as they can.
Sadly nuclear plants cannot run without cooling water from rivers or sea.
I sometimes drive without any music/podcasts/radio on and get the same effects as shower thoughts. The mind is good at promising things when you dont have to follow through with them immediately.
It's bridging to digital traffic over long range radio.

The phone provides a familar interface AND the GPS cords for texting locations (and possibly pinning on maps already present on phone when WEB-Maps are offline (google, bing, other, etc).

Once matured it will have some application for hikers on trails away from cell tower coverage sans Starlink access.

I'm used to rural fire brigade trucks and SES rescue vehicles that have a slew of standalone radio gear and multiple GPS units already fitted .. but I can see some scope for this when looking for lost tourists and city folk.
SMIC is doing EUV by multi-patterning. TSMC was doing the same until their N7+ process.

China is still working on their domestic EUV machines.
I'll take the hypocrite who is acting in my best interest over the openly hostile one who is trying to fuck me over.
as I describe elsewhere, similar laws have recently passed in other states, spanning both major parties.
Yep, cool. It's much more fun to discuss something if you have some kind of starting point for discussion, though. There seems to be a number of interesting things about these - which ones were OP thinking of? Otherwise it's just a random wiki link.
Yep you are absolutely right. People who spend money on things that doesn’t work but enables them to virtue signal is exactly what virtue signalling is. I gave you a real solution to the problem you can actually do (invite a homeless into your home/backyard) but you obviously don’t want to do it. Even though it would actually help a homeless person. Why not? Too smelly for you? Surely giving them access to a shower can fix that?
I asked for anecdotes! Thank you for sharing.
California being the 5th largest world GDP if it were its own country, I think it may come out on top pretty easily. Also the home of things we bomb the shit out of people with…
Even in Shanghai and Shenzhen, which have much higher density than NYC and the best public transit system in the world, people still use cars and like having parking space.

The product you're selling - public transit and high density walkable neighborhoods - isn't very appealing to most people. Public transit is slow, dirty, and dangerous. Neighborhoods without enough parking just force people to Uber everywhere or take public transit, raising the cost of living and wasting people's time. Smaller, hyperlocal grocery stores have inferior selection, higher prices, and worse quality than places like Costco.

And these aren't problems you can fix with more funding. Public transit is slow because NIMBYs block trains from running at high speed in most neighborhoods. It's dirty and dangerous because there is no political will to screen riders or to arrest vagrants. Smaller grocery stores suffer from inferior economies of scale, so they never will compete with places like Costco in price.

The price of basic goods like bananas in a bodega type store is triple what it would be at Costco. $1.29-1.99/lb for bananas vs. $0.50-0.70/lb at Costco. And the Costco bananas will be bigger and in better condition than the ones at the bodega. Make the comparison with baked goods like muffins or croissants and it's no contest.
A few things

- I have a better awareness of how I’m feeling in general. This let’s me not wallow in my lows and really enjoy my highs

- I found a formulaic way that I can calm my mind - useful when I’m restless but want to sleep, stressed out and avoiding work, just want to think rationally about something, etc

- I feel just generally more open and flexible as a result of noticing how my emotions influence my thoughts.
An analysis that starts with "most of the country" and then proceeds to "except California" is immediately suspect. In any case I'm still not seeing any concrete claims. I know that property tax payers believe they pay for this, but the question is: do they?
That problem inflates the cost of solar and wind a bit, but it's not enough to save nuclear.
> What if they want to sell one of their kidneys?

I thought of this specifically when I wrote my comment, which is why I added the bit about "moral duty". Selling your kidneys is harmful. There's the inherent risk of surgery, not to mention it's a part of your body that you would otherwise keep.

I think the examples you are giving are things we should protect against, but I do not believe that urinating in a bottle is comparable at all.

You're going to urinate no matter what. The only thing different here is where it is at. Many people choose to go camping and urinate outdoors. Most choose a toilet. Some people (even those that aren't on the clock at an Orwellian-esque company!) choose a bottle when they are desperate, e.g. on a road trip.
Oh awesome, thanks for sharing. Some time ago I couldn’t find anything that looked like an active arch port. Any interesting challenges in doing this?

And uranium mining operations are also known for leaving a bit of a mess around them, polluting nearby rivers, etc. Suspiciously often close to indigenous lands as well.
I also liked the digital watches quote:

"Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the Western Spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun. Orbiting this at a distance of roughly ninety-eight million miles is an utterly insignificant little blue-green planet whose ape-descended life forms are so amazingly primitive that they still think digital watches are a pretty neat idea...

This planet has - or rather had - a problem, which was this: most of the people living on it were unhappy for pretty much of the time. Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movement of small green pieces of paper, which was odd because on the whole it wasn't the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy.

And so the problem remained; lots of people were mean, and most of them were miserable, even the ones with digital watches."

Douglas Adams seems strangely forgotten these days (or is he, in the UK?), considering how great he really was. It would be extremely interesting to hear his thoughts or spinoffs on the climate crisis.

Then again, he did offer many straightforward solutions, though, e.g.:

"FOOT WARRIOR: Do not panic! Lay Down your arms. We just want you to relax and enjoy your shoes."
This is correct, there is an article (I think on the semianalysis) that summarises the process - they are using multi-patterning as TSMC did with their N7 7nm process.

The real shocker is that they've been pumping out 7nm commercially since at least a year, which is a feat that most thought was still a ways ahead. It means that they are far more capable than previously thought.
This is often the unspoken part but I agree that it's one of, if not the most important aspect for our energy needs. I understand economics can't just be thrown out of the window but I feel like a lot of governments don't see the big picture and invest in these solutions "at a loss" now so we can not have climate catastrophes that make our planet uninhabitable, at least to large chunks of the population.
I agree with you completely. However, I do think it’s important to point out that the people complaining about risk perceptions are also right but the effort of correcting those perceptions faces the huge headwind of human psychology.

Of course people are going to overweight the outcome and underweight the probability when estimating the EV of something - that’s how we work! That’s why Powerball exists!
> And running an init process like systemd as a top-level entrypoint was specifically discouraged.

I spent years abusing docker to run images with systemd in them to test system configuration management tools running as many processes as you like.

Once you hit it hard enough with a wrench you can make it do that just fine.

Makes it very easy and extremely quick to test things in docker containers on your laptop which are meant to eventually wind up on VMs/metal.

Horrible things like entire RHEL distros running systemd in one docker image...

It's very stupid, but I check dictionary definitions in an incognito window because I'm horrified of someday people coming across my browser history and thinking "Wow, he didn't know the definition of that?!
