Yep! Well, kinda... I still use it at work but for any of my personal stuff at home or for my side projects I use Fedora CoreOS [1] with Butane YAML [2] which I template with Jinja2. Being able to define a VM with Butane and launch it quickly is pretty great. Nothing I am running requires the benefits that Kubernetes can bring to my workloads and the reduced complexity is a breath of fresh air.

I am slowly moving towards using Hashicorp's Nomad running on Fedora CoreOS using the Podman and QEMU drivers. I rolled out a Nomad at work for internal projects and it let's me get things done quickly without living in a total YAML hellscape.

Interesting! Feel free to elaborate. What does your CI/CD/deployment pipeline look like? Do you use something like Ansible, Puppet, Chef, Salt etc?
this also happens to (very real) students of medicine! it's colloquially called second year syndrome.
Early internet was populated mostly by educated people and there were very little (if at all) monetary influence to drive engagement. So i guess these two factors are sufficient for internet to be much safer place.
Heck, my sister was diagnosed (and I wish I had been diagnosed) in the 80's.

Plus, before it got the name ADD (and after, ADHD), it was studied by the names "Hyperactive child syndrome", "Hyperkinetic reaction of childhood", and a few others.

This has been recognized and studied for over a century.

Did you enable WAL? Any casual comparison in performance between WAL and no-WAL?
No, it's not really easy to drastically change the density of an established metro area. Zoning/planning is forward-looking. It won't change the status quo that millions of people in a metro area already live (and work) in sparse suburban neighborhoods far from city centers.
I would love to see a similar article diving into Amazon's use of RHEL5, and the eventual slow move to "Amazon Linux".

At one point, I had a RHEL5 desktop in Seattle, which I could (and had to) develope remotely on from the Toronto office[0]. The software libraries we used depended on something that RHEL5 had and newer versions of Red Hat didn't, as I understood it. Eventually a new and fantastic manager joined the Toronto office and convinced senior management to at least ship the desktops to Toronto.

[0] At the time, the 'office' was the warehouse in Mississauga.
Thanks a lot swyx ;)
Even if you use it to let people know about new articles. I don't see why it wouldn't be a win.

> You can potentially get better results this way than a generic solution like the article because you might have some application knowledge about what rows are likely to be similar to others

The linked project actually does exactly this - you can basically specify an SQL expression (such as strftime(date, '%Y-%m')) that is then used to group rows together in order to decide what to train dictionaries on. What you're describing as picking every 10th row would be the expression (id/10). So you can use application knowledge, you just don't have to.

The difference is that in my project the dictionary is stored separately so not affected by row deletions, and the trained dictionary is based on all samples not just one of them. Since the dictionary is stored separately it's only worth it if you combine at least maybe 100-1000 rows under one dictionary.

> Python's zlib module, you'd use the zdict parameter

Yes, the training feature of zstd is basically a better version of keeping another sample of data around and using it as a prefix. In fact you can use a data sample instead of a trained dictionary as the `-D` parameter of the zstd command line, zstd just has the additional feature of reducing a set of samples down to the most essential (data-saving) parts.
For a small sports club: yes.

We announce events there, so it has added value for the end user.

Main reason to do so: social media platforms (read: instagram and certainly facebook) burry your posts if you don't pay up for "promotion".
Yes, yes Windows discouraged, yes.
That implies that the inverse, bottling up your feelings, demonstrates self-control, and that self-control is always a desirable trait.

I disagree with both. Expressing your feelings is a part of good communication, and feeling free to express sadness or frustration as needed is how you stave off the kinds of arguments and blowups that have much more severe consequences.
Many (most?) people don't have the luxury of two development machines. If I could have two, I'd probably get a laptop and a desktop too. But if I can only have one, then I'll take the laptop.
Lots of people have Mac laptops but you can't use them for anything but remote into a gLinux desktop or virtual machine to do development. Or you can use a web-based development environment. Basically, at Google, a laptop is just a web browser.

>The most common self-diagnosis is ADHD. Do some of them actually have ADHD? Sure, statistically speaking some of them will actually have ADHD.

Self-diagnosis aside, I had this exact thought after a conversation with a teacher. The number of kids on medication for ADHD in their school was just too much. Sure, the school could just be lucky but I doubt it. More likely pressure from educators and parents for a "quick fix" for what should be correctable (sans drugs) behavioural issues.
Well, it doesn't tell us the false negative rate. But the problem doesn't seem to involve negative results at all, so I'm not sure that's relevant. I would say it's 70% from the first test plus 20% of the remaining 30% from the second test, so 76% total.
That’s totally fair, it does make it sounds like I’m verifying the compiler’s implementation of it. However it is proving that making such a transformation between the two styles of static dispatch is always sound.

What would you have titled the blog instead to be less misleading?
I can't read the article due to the paywall but when I read the IPCC reports, the net-zero pathway for <2C required basically ceasing all fossil fuel consumption within a very short period of time (for <1.5C it was practically instantly).

I have seen no credible plan for how we would actually do this. Especially given we haven't even managed to stop (or greatly slow) the growth of global emissions much less reduce them to zero.
I knew you would.

I’m a huge fan of shoving crap like that back in the box, and returning it DOA. The soulless bastards that built it don’t know if I’m computer literate or not.
To be fair, if you need conditionals in target bodies, you're probably better off putting the body into a separate file as a shell script. And if you need conditionals in macros, there's the old macro-in-macro approach:

DEBUG = 0
DEBUG_FLAG_0 =
DEBUG_FLAG_1 = --debug

# …

main.bin: 1.o 2.o # …
build $(DEBUG_FLAG_$(DEBUG)) -o main.bin # …

I'm not saying that it's a good way, but it is a way.
One thing that the library could do is store the cookies of their patrons, and restore those next time they use a library computer. This would avoid the most common case of the problem. I suspect this is the only feasible solution; Google is certianly never going to bother with these people.
I never saw so much futzing about what is or isn't a recession before. WTF!

Even Biden "declared" recessions before (in 2020) and people didn't start questioning him or any economist opining so.

But now we have opinions by economists getting 'fact checked". Oh, the irony if fact checkers would get downsized due to "uncertain economic times".

Any other administration but his and wed hear "We don't need an official pronouncement by the NBER to tell us we're in a recession!"
I'm pretty sure this isn't a Gmail-only issue. This letter could have been written to any other email provider, but it just so happens to be Gmail due to popularity.

Email is an inherently insecure service. Security professionals had been clamoring for default 2fa, E2EE, etc. due to various breaches, leaks, and security issues that have occurred over the years. Remedying the aforementioned security issues necessitates certain practices to be phased out and the people who relied upon them to be caught up to speed or left behind.

>Because they had their own terms and circumstances. Ukrainian SSR had its own terms and circumstances too, they compiled and signed the declaration in 1991. If the leaders didn't want to stick to the internationally recognised founding documents they shouldn't have signed it. One either follows the legal procedures or not, and if procedures are not followed and if the new government feels like violating the previously signed documents,

http://static.rada.gov.ua/site/postanova_eng/Rres_Declaratio...

I am not seeing anything that you have mentioned at all, the declaration is tiny and mentions nothing about military alliances or nuclear weapons at all. Seems like your entire premise that Ukraines founding document is predicated on a lake of nukes and military neutrality has no basis in reality.

> then it's a bit odd to expect that the country wouldn't have a separatist movement within its borders.

Funny that these Pro Russian separatist movements keep appearing in post soviet states its like the FSB and GRU funds them, and even sends soldier to arm them. I mean its not like the leaders of the LPR and DNR where literally FSB officer right?.

> They definitely made a good point about dangers of armed coups against democratically elected presidents that didn't break laws and were supposed to represent half of the country until the upcoming elections. Kiyvites didn't care much about legitimacy of their actions from the perspective of Eastern Ukrainians in 2013-2014. No referendum felt necessary when the coup had been decided and executed.

I know the Russians, and Pro Russian trolls like to call it an armed coup constantly but it reality, where the rest of the world exists it was a revolution that ousted a Russian agent that went against the will of the people and immediately ran back to his masters in Russia. Since then they have had many elections and power has changed hands multiple times unlike Russia.
And I think she's wrong, as another librarian who's worked in public services.

I think Google's poor implementation of 2FA is a result of misaligned incentives, unknown unknowns in the product development cycle (because she's right that engineers assume a baseline technological literacy and access that isn't there for everyone), and deeper social issues.

Lying it directly at Google's feet and implying that they made that choice maliciously rather than ignorantly (or to maximize their actual goal, which is $$$) + not noting that the bad decisions have also been picked up by their competitors makes it read more as a judgment than an invitation for collaboration/plea for help. I think a different approach would have been more effective.

I have a tactical disagreement with Shelley. No disagreement on the actual issue, which she's right is a huge problem and one I've personally encountered hundreds of times.
A more extreme measure some users here used to take was not access the internet at all during their downtime. When you come home from work simply not use the internet. I guess exceptions can be made for streaming movies/music. Ideally you should download and stock up on these.

I remember some users deliberately not connecting internet to their homes to stick with this. There were also some users who switched to "dumb" phones to reduce distractions. I guess these could work.
Yup, they were especially great during the fuel shortage days when car traffic mostly ceased.
Regular users really wouldn't want glinux. It's really just debian with a lot of things added for Google's corporate fleet management.
>At what point did Google agree to become the world's free email provider

Maybe they shouldn't have offered email for free to the world if they didn't want to be the world's free email provider.

>Recessions in general see GDP down and unemployment up. Right now GDP is down but employment is also down...

I think you mean unemployment is also down? Also work force participation is currently high, not low.

But I get what you're saying, it's a very unusual situation. I think that's because this has nothing to do with the usual economic cycle. It's a very bouncy snap-back from the lockdown that's seen a boom in demand, a bust in supply, heavy stimulus. The feedback relationships between the economic indicators just aren't working as they usually do.

Personally I think this recession will be relatively short. As I said it's overcorrections from the snap back after the pandemic, but things will settle down. That doesn't mean there won't be pain, there will, but hopefully it will be fairly short term.
I migrated a company from k8s to ECS/Fargate in 2019. Kubernetes is very flexible, but I opted for simplicity.

The result of the migration was that there is little underlying infrastructure to maintain, and ongoing operational costs were lowered by 50% year over year. The CTO and I liked the setup so much, we started converting another large client of theirs. I followed up with them at the beginning of 2022 to see how things were going, and they still love it. There is so little maintenance, and now they have more time to focus on what they do best–Software!

Other options on the horizon that I'm testing include utilizing AWS Copilot with ECS/Fargate, and/or Copilot with Amazon App Runner.
you might consider migrating to systemd controlled rootless dockerless podman. helm even has a plugin for podman.
Space X are building the worlds largest Green Hydrogen project in Texas (intended for turning into methane for rockets amongst other things).

Will probably be one of those things where there will be a new worlds largest record every month for years and it'll get into arguments about who has actually started production and so on, but it's definately a global thing.

Current headlines suggest US Green Hydrogen could be the cheapest in the world due to some mooted subsidies:

And given that a lot of the staff working those desks aren't librarians + are working part time, it's also great incentive for bad actors to get jobs in libraries specifically to start stealing that data.
It's not, and in general I don't think one can claim that linux support for the Apple Silicon machines is good now. What seems to have been the case so far is that once hardware is supported it mostly stays supported (including on new generations of the machines), which suggests that linux support for Apple Silicon machines may well get to the point where it's really good.
I wonder if "levels of greatness" is a relative quantity. If fourteen living composers are objectively as good as Beethoven/Lennon/McCartney (as one may expect with a much larger population), none of them will be recognized as great as Bach.

I was spending hours per day on Twitter, and then I learned that overusing social media rewires your brain, and you essentially unlearn to digest information in bigger chunks. This book will horrify you, and that's exactly what needs to be done.

Rightists are more likely to approve of harassing a health official trying to shut down a small business for covid, leftists of someone harassing a judge who makes it harder to get an abortion. So the approval is to some extent a function of the political valence of the harassment.

This case is about harassing a footsoldier and the other is about harassing a general, but I'm not sure there's an ethical difference. It sounds to me like attempted self-defense, wise or not, in both cases.

Harassment can certainly cross the line into the unacceptable, but there's a wide range that is better interpreted as petitioning for the redress of grievances. Most of us approve of that if we sympathize with the agrieved.

PSA: If you are low-income, or you know low income people who do not have internet at home, you should check out ACP, the Affordable Connectivity Program[0].

It is a federal program that provides up to $30/month, paid directly to your ISP so that they can take that amount off your bill. I work for an ISP[1] that offers a $30/month, 200Mbps plan which is free when using ACP (we don't even take your credit card). Most ISPs now have an ACP section of their web site if you search for it.

Having worked extensively on implementing this program at my company, I have seen exactly what this librarian is talking about. The people who need programs like ACP are also disproportionately people who have low tech literacy, and often poor literacy/education in general, and the existing systems don't work for them. I wrote about that recently in another thread[2].

When a customer is locked out of their ACP account, luckily the ACP support line is able to reset their password over the phone. But it's not always an easy process. Often, we need to have multiple, in-person meetings with these customers in order to get pictures of their ID, and often ACP will not do anything to an account unless the customer is physically on the phone or in person with us asking them to.

If our customers could always get access to their Gmail, it wouldn't be nearly as big of an issue. They could reset their password the way you'd expect. But as the article is pointing out, if you're locked out of your Gmail there is absolutely no way in.

It's really striking just how much work it is to be poor. Google needs to fix this, and remove one more barrier to people who need to use email with government services.

Check this out: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/GDP

1960Q2-1960Q3 - GDP grew, yet this is flagged as a recession.

1981Q3-1983Q1 - GPD grew consistently the entire time, yet this is one of the longer recessions on record.

1990Q3-1991Q2 - GDP only dropped for one quarter, then quickly rebounded, yet it is flagged as a long recession.

2020Q1-2020Q1 - This is flagged as recession, despite being less than a single quarter. By "two consecutive quarters definition, this recession started in 2019Q4 and lasted until 2021Q1. Yet the NBER doesn't flag it this way. If they were "playing politics," they would definitely have made this out to be a larger deal.

It's pretty clear the NBER has never relied entirely on GDP data to determine recessions. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many recessions with GDP growth.
The title is misleading - or at the least borderline disingenuous: it implies that an "AI algorithm" now can predict individual crimes, whereas the "algorithm" is only able to forecast number and types of some crimes on an aggregate level, in a sufficiently large area (a neighborhood). Which is a far cry from minority report, and essentially nothing new.

The findings about the skew between wealthy and poorer neighborhoods was interesting though, but not entirely surprising.
