> strength athlete at top shape can lose about 20% of 1RM weight in two weeks of inactivity

that's probably not because of muscle mass loss, but body doesn't conserve glycogen, because think it doesn't need anymore, and this is fixable with 2-3 trainings.
I wish there were an IT union. With apprentices and training and the whole bit. I think not tech businesses would go for it, it's so hard to interview/hire new employees, how nice would it be to just have the union send some more over with whatever skills we need. Sure it would cost more, but it would be worth it.
I've only ever seen the claims "non-whites can't be racist" and "racism is prejudice plus power" from the left, so I'm not sure what issue you're taking with him here. Sure, not every single leftist believes that tripe, but that belief is essentially exclusive to leftists. Not all mammals are dogs, but all dogs are mammals.
Discrimination against eye color would definitely be forbidden as discrimination against race; you can't ban everybody except those with blue eyes without having a racially disparate impact. This is probably true of those other physical characteristics too.

But speaking more generally, the principle in America is that if something isn't forbidden, then it is permitted. You could probably get away with some nonsense like "Don't hire anybody who owns a red car, because red car owners are too impulsive and hot headed"
Yeah. You can/could get JFK (or EWR) to LHR (or LCY) without a red eye. Not sure what routes exist these days though I've taken EWR to LHR in time for a late-ish dinner in the city quite a few times. It's a long day but even in Economy Plus seating, it's not much longer/less comfortable than flying coast to coast.
Include files are fine; in fact tup automatically handles that for static headers (i.e. header files that aren't generated as part of the build process).

One example of what I'm talking about is what another commentor mentioned: .java files will generate separate .class files for each inner-class in the file, so given "foo.java" you can't tell which .class files will be output when compiling "foo.java" without looking at the contents of "foo.java"

I actually originally had a Makefile with predeps/build/install targets where the "build" step just called tup. People complained that "if tup is supposed to replace make, why are you using make?" I switched it to predeps.sh/build.sh/install.sh and everybody shut up. I personally think it's less ergonomic but don't care enough to argue with a different person every week.
Thanks for this. The photos really round out the story.

>The head of the Army Corps’ flood fight efforts, Major General Charles C. Noble, gave the order to open the Morganza Floodway two days later to relieve pressure on the Low Sill Structure. The governor of Louisiana telephoned and asked if he had the authority to order that the Morganza Floodway not be opened. General Noble told him no. When complaints arose that he was not giving the promised five days' notice, he replied that the river didn't give him five days' notice.
Sounds like this was easily caught by CI, which does run the prod compose file, and everything was fine.
Yes, that sucks. I'm not aware of any *nix besides Android that handles that. Would love to be proved wrong.
The difference is in the burden of proof. To be convicted in the criminal system the burden is "beyond reasonable doubt". In the civil system it's lower: "preponderance of the evidence". In the eyes of an HR department it's lower still. Theoretically, if you're arrested there's already "probable cause" - i.e. some evidence. It doesn't seem that weird or unreasonable that HR would act at this level. Does it suck if you didn't do anything? Yes. But people get fired for much less reason (or even no reason) all the time.
Every high-end school getting lots of applications does mean more students are seriously trying for college, and yes, the same student in 1975 would have a harder time being admitted to UCLA today even if it's just because they're flooded.

I prefer 127.0.0.1. That's a "self" IP that will redirect to your own machine. If you have no web server setup, it'll just give a 404/not found error.

What if you want a "one thing" simple program to be used by command-line (with pipes), though? What if you want to work without internet connections, too? Interaction with other programs (specified by user)? Use local display options for GUI? etc? HTML is not very good for that, I think. (While you can make local HTML files that work without internet connection, it isn't very well for some kinds of uses. And, this does not solve any of the other issues that I had mentioned, too.)
Don't throw away those old notes: An argument for holding on to bad ideas
See my comment to a sibling post, but I originally had something just like that with "tup" rather than "go build" but people complained so I switched it to "build.sh" and "install.sh" and people stopped complaining.
Yes and no. They don't use the kind of co-location services you might be thinking about.

Co-location targets the corporate world. Corporate world loves it to just hand off the servers and have it run for them.

But if you go to a company such as Interxion/Digital Realities, they will just send you away (or more specifically, send you to one of their tenants that offers co-location services), because they are primarily real estate companies.

They rent out empty rooms designed to be used for servers and even office space on their campuses. These are normal lease agreements and their purpose is that you put your own staff and infrastructure there. And that's what most mid-sized to large cloud providers actually use.

They wouldn't even have the employees to touch servers or network equipment. What they take care of is ensuring that the AC is working, that the shared Diesel aggregates are ready in case of a power outage and that there is security personal patrolling the campus, but they won't enter rooms rented out to customers just like you wouldn't expect your landlord to go into your flat.

(Equinix is a bit special on that point, since they offer both. You can get co-location too through Equinix, but it's probably not what AWS, GCP or Azure is using.)

You took a very specific complaint about toolkits in the embedded systems space and generalized it to an expanded argument about any and all tooling, much of which have requirements that run directly counter to yours.

So yes, I don't think you communicated your point well. An essay about the brittleness of current embedded systems toolkits which suggested that much of the brittleness could be due to the use of Python in those toolkits, that might have been better-received--but wouldn't have gotten the attention a splashy "Please do not use Python for tooling" did.

Perhaps if you'd spent less time predicting what your essay would provoke, and more time thinking about why your essay might provoke that, you'd have written a better essay.
Neat, this would have saved some headaches in the past (about 2018). Was it a feature then? If so I wasted some time reinventing the wheel, it seems!

Crypto is much easier to clone than Facebook --- as evidenced by the fact they are multiplying like rabbits.

The only thing restraining the creation of crypto is the fact that it is virtually unusable as an actual currency. If it were otherwise, every celebrity, politician and corporation would just mint their own continuous stream of the stuff. There is nothing to stop them.

Productive work would become obsolete. Why work to "earn" money when you can just mint it? A lot of life's major problems could be solved instantly by crypto. If you buy this, I've got some crypto to sell you.
I wonder what the performance improvement would be to simply add an index to the created_at column, or alternatively sort on the id column (under the assumption that the id column is indexed and essentially correlated 1:1 to created_at).

Do people here set CPU limits? (in either docker or kube)

In my company we only set CPU requests + Memory req+limits. I read somewhere that CPU limits are kinda broken and are not reliable. In some experiments CPU limits tend to cause unnecessary throttling, which is why some people don't recommend them.

However, I've also found some cases where I can't make the app to use only some of the CPUs, some frameworks tend to read the number of total available CPUs on the node and try to use them.
A lot of people are frustrated because if you ask anyone who works in HR at a company with DEI policies, they would say that they are "committed to diversity and inclusion and helping the oppressed" and whatever else they were trained to say. But given what seems like a textbook example of oppressive discrimination, they throw their hands up and say "well, we don't know what to do because the law says we don't have to do anything." Are we really still supposed to believe they're "committed" to anything other than getting paid?
Buffalo Commons, man.
One of the things we've really struggled with is sharing dev compose files between Windows and macOS. We were unable to make bind mounts work correctly with Windows, due to performance issues (this used to be documented in the Docker docs, but I can't seem to locate it now). This resulted in us falling back to VSCode's remote container tooling.

Has anyone else had this issue with Windows? The last time I looked into the issue was about 8 months ago, so it's possible the issues have been addressed since then.
There was also signage in O'Hare I think last time I passed through. Struck me as odd.
That doesn't have much to do with the point I'm making. I'm saying if you double fuel usage, you don't double the cost of using the plane.

As cost of fuel is only a percentage of the price of the ticket, it's pretty obvious that there is a threshold as a percentage of total ticket cost under which spending 4x more in fuel to fly say 1.5x more passengers (because the airplane isn't flying 24/7) makes business sense.

That is obviously one of the reasons why they are starting with business class tickets because, fuel consists of a smaller percentage of ticket cost.
For me, having to setup X or audio is a bigger deal breaker. Unless it's on nixos. It provides a nix config file that works like a translator between you and all the bazillion different system configuration files.
To my reading, no. That's not the question the study is addressing. The study is examining the climate impact of six soot-injection scenarios, not the premise of soot injection itself. It cites other papers (some modern, some from the 80s) to justify the six soot-injection scenarios considered, but this study is about applying climate models to those scenarios.

And because Debian has such strict curation, a lot of software ends up being distributed via other channels, either from alternative deb package repos or not using a deb package at all.

If we add a lot of curation, you will end up with a lot of gems being forced out of rubygems. This will make people become used to sourcing gems from alternative locations, and you will lose even the most basic of protection you get from what rubygems is doing.

You, or anyone else, is welcome to create their own, curated and vetted, gem repository. It is not technically difficult to source gems from places other than rubygems, so if there was a demand, developers could use your curated service.
This isn't what AA/DEI policies do though. Working with your analogy AA is this:

You have two kids a boy and a girl. You give the boy a cookie, and the girl gets nothing. Eighty years later your adult grand kids buy cookies and give them to all the little girls in they neighborhood and explicitly exclude the boys because their great aunt didn't get a cookie.

This fixes nothing. The original girl got nothing, the later generation girls get a preference though there's no evidence that they were discriminated against in their own lives or even if they lack cookies. And later generation boys are harmed regardless of how deserving they are of receiving a cookie.

Your non-analogous analogies are strawmen and we really don't need to make analogies or strawmen if we want to discuss AA, DEI, or discrimination. We're all adults and are able to communicate without using analogies or metaphors.
It depends a lot on where the breakable part is, and whether it can be replaced reasonably. I just did some repairs on our Cuisinart food processor, that highlighted poor design.

The motor is in the base of course, driving a shaft that comes up through the center of the housing. So far, so good. The problem is that this beefy-looking motor is screwed onto three plastic pillars that are just part of the otherwise thin outer housing. Each pillar is essentially an "asterisk" cross-section, probably to minimize material, and it had just snapped off the outer shell. You can buy things like the blades or the plastic bowl, but not random parts from the inside (or, outside).

I managed to get it together with a screw through the housing and a large glob of epoxy putty, but the experience really emphasized that it was pretty much designed to fail.
There are a LOT of jerks coercing people into being used by Discord. Not only that, actively defending it.

FOMO on "community" is a considerable factor. The regular person is quite likely a social being. They will care and value being able to use the same platform.

It is a personal sacrifice to resist it while it remains. Even when a Free Software alternative becomes wide-reaching enough for an exodus, it'll be years too late.
what's the use case for backing up running containers? the code in the docker image is immutable (or should be), config goes into .env file and permanent data should go to a mounted volume in the host or an external database, so what do you want to backup?
That would be an interesting alternative to shadowbanning, especially if it came with a label ("The comment has been autotuned.") I'd like to see them offer the submitter some alternatives or provide some analysis before they post ("Please avoid sealioning").

I’m a millennial so this is largely speculation, but I think in the 60s-90s music was all about finding your tribe (as in, social group). That trait still exists and is bigger than ever, but it’s moved to social networking. MySpace was a very important link in the chain in this respect, because it bridged the gap between using your taste in music to finding other like-minded strangers online.
Tgm is more a database, rather than just a messenger. It's a centralised huge server-side searchable abyss. It is both its good and bad side. On the good side: if you're using it for public and non-sensitive things like running tech support, it's easily the best thing. Once you type a word and search - you'll get everything from the very distant past. It's very good for dev-ops activity.
On the other hand - forget privacy: a phone number ID, server-decrypted chats, e2e hidden behind two menus and not available on some platforms (like Linux).

I stopped using Google News once I realized they literally won't even let you add certain sites to your feed for no other reason than politics.

So I now use Inoreader to curate my own news feed from RSS feeds as well as many sites that don't have a feed. Instead of spending time blocking or deleting "approved" news sources that are the definition of fake news these days, I just add any sites that I come across that I feel are useful for information gathering.

Then we have similar struggles. I've found that there are various ways to attack self-discipline problems. Step one is trying to make it hard for yourself to fall.

There is PhD level math involved. And yet, ML (deep learning in particular) is much more of an empirical endeavor than many would like to admit. A deep understanding of the underlying mathematics does not necessarily give you a better model. Modern models are so complicated that no one can reason through them. Parameter spaces are non-convex and fully of ugly pathologies that make neat and tidy analysis methods useless.

From one perspective, it is disheartening that a deep understanding of the underlying methods doesn't necessarily win the day. From another, it is quite remarkable that having good implementation skills and a methodical mindset can get you quite far.
MIT does not have a patent-grant clause though.

There is a good reason projects like the Rust Language are dual-licensed under MIT AND Apache2 because only the later protects you from software patent claims.

That's accurate to the article but not accurate to modern RN or even most of Airbnb's reasoning when they switched.

With JSI now you can get efficient access to native platform features. Before you were able to bridge pretty much any native feature with a native view or extension, but you were bottlenecked by the JS bridge. Nowadays you can use JSI for anything intensive.

As far as Airbnb, it was more they were trying to mix 80% native views with 20% RN views and they found they were doing more work than pure native. If you do mostly RN though you don't have that problem.

What about MRU-biased workloads? For example an analytical loop or row scanning in a db query? In those cases recency is a negative signal and there may not be much frequency to extract (e.g. equal frequencies in a loop). Instead the policy has to avoid admissions to obtain some hits rather than be flushed for zero hits.
