Metadata is structural data that can only exist because apps require non-content data to function. It has an objective meaning.

Relative classification of data and metadata is a separate category of data.
Is California at the point now where more renewables are not just diminishing returns, but potentially negative returns due to inconsistent generation causing thrashing and large levels of curtailment required to stabilize the grid?

They're definitely causing faster natural gas generator breakdown due to them having turning up and down more frequently, causing greater wear and tear.

More batteries and demand response to stabilize the day to day grid and absorb the uncontrollable generation output is going to be increasingly necessary.
Thank you! I'd like to support property-based testing in the future. For this demo I focused on visualization and more exploratory testing.

I figured that'd make the demo more approachable to people who weren't already into fuzzing or formal methods. But being able to automatically discover non-crashing bugs using property-based testing could be pretty powerful.

I can't tell if you're specifically asking for e-bike recs here or not. But unless there's a health or mobility limitation, or your area has absolutely massive hills, 3-5 miles is not a range where you'll get a lot of the benefits of electric bikes.

Everything you mentioned can be comfortably and easily done on like, a $300 single speed with a front basket. IMO just start there and see how well it meets your needs. Even if it fits them terribly, using it for a few months will give you a very clear idea of what you actually do need from a bike.
I paid extra for the ad-free Paramount Plus. I was getting un-skippable pre-roll ads before and during Star Trek Discovery episodes. I contacted support and they said that ads would sometimes show up during live TV. They didn't have an answer for why ads were showing during Discovery. They pre-rolls would sometimes take 5-10 minutes! I could go fix a snack, put in a load of laundry and when I'd come back the pre-rolls would still be playing.

Anyway, other than the programming the service itself was awful and after going through the Star Trek back catalog I cancelled. I may sign up again but after the bad experience, I am not inclined to watch again. I really wouldn't want to watch with ads if they paid me to do it.
Rulers too. A ruler starts at 0, not 1.
Array indices denote offsets from the base address. The first element is at the base address of the array, hence the offset is zero. It avoids a conditional when resolving the address, introducing it would slow down all forms of memory access across the language domain.
Clickbait and poor understanding of how things work imo. While Apple chips are faster they are also paired with less memory, not to mention the programs are written in different languages using varying frameworks . Apples vs oranges lol.

That this boils to engineer capability for you tells me you are young and inexperienced.
It's all data, that's true.

But I think the distinction the various three-letter agencies make is between "metadata" and "content" for most data they process. So in terms of a phone call, an actual voice recording would be "content" while when the call was made and between which two numbers would be "metadata".

With "content" + "metadata" they could verify that the target is actually who they think it is, based on voice. With just "metadata", the chances are higher that it might not actually be who they think it is.
I’d prefer they enforced the rules and kick people who mention reading the article
In this context it usually means "we have the time, date, sender and recipient of the message but not the message itself".
And buyers that do want heated seats, do need to waste money on them. Or more realistically, pay the one time fee to an independent shop to fix the problem.
June 2nd 2021 Winner was released from prison and moved to a transition facility. At the time the news was of her family asking for privacy, so it's not clear if she has been released from the transition facility.

Her custodial sentence was for five years and three months on August 23rd 2018, so she should be released in a couple of months.
I'm not sure where I'd use Nomad Pack vs Waypoint or Terraform. Any HashiCorp folks care to chime in?
We Released Queen's Wish 2: The Tormentor
For a while I saw Palantir showing what sounded like remorse in their website, in stating explicitly that they had purposefully taken distance from their days security contractors providing products in service of the War on Terrorism; they provided one that was used precisely for this.

It was a change from the previous branding I saw from them, one where they would whitewash themselves by showcasing their most charismatic employees, showing that they were a friendly tech company for cool people (look, we have a handsome black dude who plays the guitar!), regardless of, you know, the blood money.

Now their website only talks about power and disruption, while showing pictures of heavy industry, infrastructure, and war.
I think OP is suggesting that “just metadata” is a sensationalist title, because to a lay person it suggests that decisions predicated on metadata are uninformed compared to decisions predicated on “data,” even though this isn’t necessarily true.

If the title were “We kill people based on data,” then the knee jerk response might be “… obviously.”
I fell a lot and never hit my head. I get the danger but I'm glad it's not legally required
Right! And that'd take us back to the Greeks :)
> But there are many scenarios where being able to extend the HTTP server via Lua is more convenient than writing a plugin I would think?

Well, Caddy is written in Go, so it's only natural to write a plugin in Go. Statically compiled into your binary. We provide a tool called `xcaddy` which is used to produce builds of Caddy with any plugins you need. You just need Go installed on your system to run it, no other dependencies.

The reason why Lua is used for OpenResty is because writing plugins in C is... not fun.

You can absolutely do what you described with an HTTP handler module in Caddy. You'd just wrap the req.Body with a reader that watches the bytes as they're copied through the stream, and when you see the part you want to log, you do that.

We have a replace-response plugin which takes a similar approach, except it manipulates the response as it's being streamed back to the client. https://github.com/caddyserver/replace-response The whole plugin is just one file of Go code.
I didn't know that, thank you.
Here is Denmark there is a BAC limit for cars, motorcycles, mopeds etc of 0.5

The limit for a bicycle is if you can cycle safely, and it is only a fixed fine. You can go to prison for doing it in the other cases (though you will typically not, for a first offence).

The other advantage is that you can walk home with your bicycle if you are too drunk to drive it. You don't have that option with a car.
Why do people make hot take comments like this?

There's obviously a difference between metadata and other data, that's why we have a word for it.

What are you trying to say exactly?
Birthdays are anniversaries. Anniversaries are annual activities when we celebrate/honor past events. They do not include the event itself. The first anniversary is 1 year after the initial event.
"Signatures" aren't necessarily better or worse than other sources. Other sources can be mistakes or intentional lies. What matters is the quality of the totality of the evidence, and how well convinced we are of what the accuracy based on past experience; and how much the deciders knew about last inaccuracies, when deciding to continue a practice.

Statistical decision making is very slippery stuff.
>Inflation is already debt forgiveness.

No matter how many threads you say this in, it isn't going to be true.
Or, they take both positions simultaneously: The beta was rolled out recklessly but also they haven't delivered what they promised. Turns out self-driving is harder than people thought - and a few upper middle class folks like myself dropped 3k on something that isn't that useful. This occurs... millions of times a day with all sorts of products. What an absolute tragedy?

I'm actually glad they they've decided to slow down iteration on the self-driving stack - in the early days the self-driving would change behavior from patch to patch - it was extremely difficult to get an idea of what it would be thinking. It's obviously not the product that we all wished it was - but... does any product in the world hold up to consumer imagination?

Apple promises that the newest iPhone is a "new superpower". Am I supposed to believe that? Does anyone believe that? It never fails to crack me up that the folks most upset about Tesla's self-driving promise tend to not be customers and vow that they never will be. What in the world is so upsetting about a company over promising and under delivering? Are these people just constantly boiling with rage? Have they never experienced being a consumer before?
Thank you! Good question about complicated GUIs. Keeping the map simple enough to be usable ended up being the most interesting part of the project, engineering-wise--the end of the write up touches on map simplification! There's a lot more I'd like to do.
Do you have evidence of that? Cyclists clearly ask for dedicated lanes, separated from the pavement. They very often mock pedestrians, often tourists, for blocking the lanes they have and not responding to calls to clear the way. It’s far too antagonist to be interpreted as fake solidarity.

They do welcome scooters, mobility aids, and powered wheelchairs in the lanes, often implicitly — and there could be confusion there, but honestly, that’s not something that feels inorganic. Anything faster than a jogger, non-polluting qualifies.

There are discourses about natural or active mobility, quieter street, and pollution that does encompass public transport, pedestrians, and cyclists. It is meant as a coalition of anyone who isn’t a giant pain for everyone around them, but I don’t think that’s a confusion. If you start seeing discourse about a clearer separation between bikes and pedestrians on quiet streets, sure, but that’s not really something cyclists talk about, or want: bikes are for mobility, not browsing between café terraces.
How is this link clickjacking?
Yeah, that was ridiculous. A random video that has nothing to do with the article. Contempt for the reader and for the author and the material.

Publishers will respond to criticism like this by claiming that economic realities force them to avoid linking outside the site and to use obtrusive advertising and self-promotion. But there are plenty of counterexamples: LWN, for example, links extensively in every article to destinations all over the web and uses none of these user-hostile techniques—and their content is varied and at a consistently high level.
Probably because with IPv6 privacy is built-in somewhat into the protocol, eg you can have a different IP really easy. For example, I can see my desktop right now has 7 different addresses.

Now, you could truncate this to eg a /64 or /56 range to identify users, but each ISP has different rules. Mine gives a /56, but I also hear many give only a /64 or less.

As such, it basically means that you can’t really rely easily on IP addresses anymore for spam detection, rate limiting, etc.

Note that I’m not an expert on spam filtering, but I do have quite some networking experience and QoS, and ran into these issues a lot.
It's just saying that each "section" has a bid timer that resets each time a bid is made.

Some auction sites have this already (you bid on something, the time until auction end goes up a minute) to counteract sniping.
Rust doesn't guarantee TCO and so recursion is a bit dicer than in many functional languages.
Anyone who’s ever repaired a car has encountered one form or another of a fastener or hose that breaks or drops and can’t be easily removed because it’s in a bad place

Can confirm. I ended up bringing a car to the dealer to replace a certain light bulb because it was not possible for me to put my man-sized hand through the metal hole to reach the bulb area. Fortunately, the dealer did it for free.
> As an American I'm ashamed that my government has done things like this and I fully support those responsible for these programs to be tried as war criminals.

Same and seconded. That includes presidents too; take every living president and have them stand for these crimes. There's no reason that being president should be carte blanche for murder.
Not really - being able to resolve double spends in a decentralized cryptocurrency is what makes BTC valuable, and PoW is just one method for doing that. I don't think there is any evidence that PoW is the only way to resolve double spends with a decentralized cryptocurrency.
You're repeating the old trope that tough punishment doesn't work. Look at the theft statistics though:

https://www.theglobaleconomy.com/rankings/theft/

Neither USA nor UK have tough punishment for theft. Theft is different than violent crime as that is most often caused by emotions/rage/etc. While theft is more calculated. It makes sense there is little consideration to punishment when committing the former but more when engaging in the latter.

Some people want to steal. Bikes are currently one of the easiest targets but if you make those difficult to steal they will move to another attractive thing like catalytic converters or purses until you lock everything. Aggressive policing and punishment wasn't tried yet in Western countries when it comes to theft. That would involve setting traps for thieves and taking the crime seriously instead of making naive calculation about the value of stolen items and ignoring long term cost and damage to social structure.
And if you can't walk or bike? There are people who don't have that option; but, they can operate a motor vehicle -- do they just stay home?

I'm all for walking and biking. I didn't own a car for 19 years and that's how I got around. Now, having lost my right leg, I can't conceive of walking a couple of miles, which was never an issue. Riding a bike doesn't seem likely, although I haven't ruled it out. A car with modified controls is an option; but, those costs add to the cost of a vehicle.
Try Debian if you want everything almost the same as Ubuntu but without the bloat. Everything is faster. What it lacks in branding/marketing, it makes up for it in the speed. Also recommend FreeBSD.
They're all terrible. But "seem less repairable" and "actually make _ less repairable" have two different meanings. The latter makes it sound as if having the tools and instructions somehow make doing something harder than by not having them.
absolutely does
Your clarification is helpful and if you had mentioned the context of your location I would not have considered it hyperbolic. You do indeed live in an area where what you mentioned is true. Without mentioning a specific locale the context seemed as if you were making an assertion at-large.

No, to be more accurate, it shifted the cost onto many other people. And that's an important distinction, because when you divide a large number by a large number, you get a small number.

Think of it with this simplified example, using numbers that are easier to grok. Let's say I've got a school where tuition costs $1,000. Alice cannot afford that on her own. But there are 1,000 people in her country, so if taxes paid for that tuition, each person only needs to pay $1 extra in taxes for Alice to get a quality education. Of course, it's not just Alice going to college, but it's also not every person in the country. In fact, at any given time, most taxpaying people in a country are not attending university, since university is usually only 4-6 years and most people live to age 78 or higher.

So to adjust the example to account for that, let's just assume every member of this society of 1,000 people attended or will attend university (an overestimate for sure). Using the ages as a guideline for proportions, if 60% are above age 18, and at most 8% are currently in college (6 years at college / 78 years of life), then we can easily see how much each taxpayer must pay for everyone to get an education: (80 people * $1,000) / 600 taxpayers = $133-ish.

So you tell me which is a better society: one in which everyone gets a good education for about $130, or one in which some people can't afford a good education because it costs about 7.5x as much money?
Of course, and I've used Lua for a long time.

The point is that offsets and indexes have different meaning.
One data's metadata is another metadata's data. Know what I mean.
Mostly sys-admin stuff, a lot of terminals, ssh, config editing, minor programing. but I keep a few desktop utilities (gimp, inkscape, blender) for when I want to make pictures, notably absent is a file manager, the shell takes care of all my file manipulation needs. but if I had to recommend one it would be xfe.

Speed-wise I think is is more sluggish than a linux system. I like and keep it because openbsd is so comfortable. openbsd was the first operating system where I felt I understood it and it's motivations. every once in a while I try to replicate my preferred system on linux(void linux comes close to what I like about openbsd) but usually find myself back on openbsd(usually with a sigh of relief) in a couple of weeks.
I don't think anyone uses collaborating to mean "collaborating equally".

The idea that "tens of millions of people collaborating [exactly equally] to produce OSS" is so obviously not true, its hard to imagine anyone seriously believes that.
As a homeowner (1750 sqft, 100% electric with one EV [no gas appliances or fireplace]) in a dry (9-10 inches of rain per year) climate with a small 8.4kW solar installation with one 13.4kW battery, I can tell you that if we had 5-10kW more battery storage our home would be 100% off grid. As it stands now we're 71% self-powered with a current energy offset of 106%.

The conclusion of the linked post:

Things can have more than one cause. Don’t trust easy explanations.

If you don't want to pay for the operating system, just buy some hardware and put Linux on it. Apple isn't double dipping because their OS isn't free, and nor is their hardware. They are different units of the same company, and both units have to pay their staff.

To whit, anywhere the software is provided "free" it is actually just included in the price. It is no coincidence they don't let you upgrade the actual version of that software without paying (or jail breaking as the case may be). Most phones and tablets are kept at whatever version you bought them at, by design.

If you buy a hardware firewall, you still have to pay for its software and maintenance. If you buy a car, you still have to buy winter tires at the appropriate time of year, and pay for the car's regular checkup. For tires, you even may have to pay for yearly rotation, balancing, etc. This business model shows up in many variants all over the place. Different divisions or people work on something, it's a separate pay item.
> He will get some kind of legal consequence ... eventually.

I don't see how you could possibly be confident of that. Even if he is absolutely guilty and gets to the point of a trial, which alone is a huge huge huge huge step, he may be able to delay things for the rest of his life.
No, because there never is such an issue. Renewables can turn themselves off and on so fast that this won't ever be a problem. The current Australian model we're discussing has about 15% 'overgeneration' because that's economically efficient, there's no problems caused by that.
Prompted by your comment I put some more thought into this, as I am also someone who was quite offended by the shadiness of Mayor Daley's actions (middle of the night bulldozing).

Up to now, I had been offended by how he deliberately did this as a pet peeve project (wanting this to be done for years, like he had a grudge against the airport) and then under the cover of darkness simply issued an order to the public works department to cripple the airport in such a way to be unrepairable, bypassing any review and opposition. He explicitly says this in the wikipedia link -- to get around the public review and court challenges that would come up.

What kind of mayor does this? It simply piles on my view of Chicago as a corrupt, incompetent city. Just like how they sold off their street parking meter infrastructure for 75 years to a private company, ridiculous.

Also I admit there is an element of my sentimental enjoyment of the idea of Meigs field, where yes, I have no actual local stake in the matter aside from it being an idea of an airport on an island in some distant city that is cool. My enjoying the idea versus someone in Chicago who could use the space in reality.

But now, thinking about whether my reasoning is consistent, would I not also respect this kind of decisiveness if the brazen act were something I supported? Such as, taking action on some needed property development that was for years held up by stupid environmental challenges or obstructionists, and just forcing the hand by making it a forgone / irrecoverable situation? Demolishing some borderline questionable heritage property so it couldn't stand in the way any more? Chopping down a neighborhood tree that you own, just before it grows to the size protected by environmental rules?

I don't know that it's so clear now to me, that I wouldn't support that for something I believed in. But at its heart I guess the deeper issue is, can we create rules to make these things less cumbersome, and have a mayor obey those rules. Rather than have it be a personally-tinged action? That would be more ideal.

I am now less certain of my position than before, but that's ok. You learn something about yourself.
Today I went to restore a backup from three weeks ago on a new test instance and I saw it broke. I was getting some utterly weird messages about the pgcrypto extension not being available anymore (problem since I use UUIDs as my ids).

After HOURS of messing around I found this https://devcenter.heroku.com/changelog-items/2446. None of which was communicated to anyone, and it completely breaks all old backups. There's no mitigation listed on the page, and from what I can tell no one can figure out the proper way to do this without manually dumping, manually changing all references, pushing it back up and hoping to god nothing breaks.

I find it absolutely, utterly, unacceptable to do something like this with no migration path documented. Most people (including myself) use Heroku because we're willing to pay more over being a sysadmin. I can run my own infrastructure on bare metal machines, but it's something I deeply, deeply, don't want to do. Much less manually editing 15gb SQL files.

So yes, I'm considering leaving if this isn't mitigated quickly.
Don’t forget American citizens are on the table too, no due process required!
