What about changing the process title?

Eg, https://github.com/dvarrazzo/py-setproctitle .

> The setproctitle module allows a process to change its title (as displayed by system tools such as ps, top or MacOS Activity Monitor).

> Changing the title is mostly useful in multi-process systems, for example when a master process is forked: changing the children's title allows to identify the task each process is busy with. ...

> Note that on Windows there is no way to change the process string: what the module does is to create a Named Object whose value can be read using a tool such as Process Explorer
You are correct that the provisions of EU law can be construed as punitive damages. That’s why I emphasised the German legal tradition. Also, those damages do not apply in all possible situations of cancelled flights and they do not punish withholding refunds for no reason. If the airline cancels three weeks prior and then refuses to pay, the EU law does not apply and the behaviour we would like to disincentivise is not to honour the refund claims rather than the cancellation.
I find my lowtech solution works best. Just don't reply.
While this seems consumer friendly, I imagine that such a massive negative shift in the cash flow mechanics for airlines would result in them having to raise prices or degrade service.
Yes!!!

It's so dumb that people keep saying this.

I spend about $25 per month on produce and fruit per month. I must at huge platefuls of veggies every night, otherwise, all the produce will rot if I don't. Huge heaping plates. Every night. Twenty five bucks. Per month.

I hear this all the time, how fast food and potato chips are inexpensive. Are people out of their pea-pickin' minds?

I mean, SURE, if you are a marketing brainwashed nonthinking zombie that is convinced that you have to shop at Whole Foods where one stalk of celery costs $4,284.28. Then yeah.

I shop prices HARD, and can buy a ton of food for so cheap. Inflation hurts, but not me very much. I hardly notice it. Spend 10% more, so $27.50 per month? $32/month? $35 per month? Who cares?

But, no, I'm not buying a t-bone steach that was $7 a year ago and now is $22 or whatever, nope. But then again, I don't eat beef as it is super crappy thing to eat on so many fronts, including climate change. But if I DID eat beef, I still wouldn't buy it at that price, so the price increase wouldn't affect me at all, and I don't sit around crying about how unfair the price of meat is, first world problem crybabies. Waaa, waaaa.

This issue sets me off, man. I get irrationally angry when people write this lie.

Don't even get me started on the "food desert" lie.

> we in the west allow people to buy a piece of the Planet Earth, and hold on to it forever, virtually tax free(in Western Europe at least)

What do you mean tax free? There are inheritance taxes for that, which often go up to 50-60% of the value for higher values. That's why the majority of castles in the UK are in trusts and open to the public, paying 50% of the value of the castle and land every generation was too much.
I think they only kept one scenario where collapse was predicted and from my foggy memory it wasn't caused by the decline in ressources or population, and at the time it seemed interesting to me.

Most of their scenarii didn't predict collapse, but steady decline, and the main difference was 'how fast'
I do wonder sometimes if social media is the games and rock music of our generation.

Mind you, there's lots of legitimate criticism to throw at social media and I wouldn't mind the whole apparatus burning down either, but it's also the one thing a lot of people born in the late 20th century agree to hate on.
The fact that there is an entire business model built around helping passengers claim their rights due to the reluctance of airlines to attend to their duties should already be an alarm signal.
Many complain about the price, but for me it is an absolute no brainer.

In this day and age a search engine is one of the most important tools we have, and the price is rather cheap for not having to deal with Google and DDG ignoring my actual queries and including tons of results that doesn't match my query at all.

My time is worth something and having to deal with false positives takes actual time. Also it is mentally exhausting and the better I get at detecting fake results the bigger the chance is that I skip an actual hit.

But maybe most of all the arrogance of Google and DDG and Bing is tiring. When I ask for "something very specific" and every time they include a number of results that doesn't match, it is like they don't think I am an actual grown up who can decide for myself.
Maybe it’s only for stock at the point of sale, and there’s no change to flashing your own ROM from a project like Lineage?

Pretty much every generation makes the same mistake you're making right now by writing off whatever the younger generation is focusing their time on. You can find quotes from 1000 years ago with the same exact sentiment as your comment.

Every single time they were wrong.
it looks like it's called "factoring" in English.
> American influence is expanding right now.

This is an excellent example of wishful thinking. American influence is clearly shrinking. Just one example: when Biden went on a tour to oil-producing countries to ask them to increase oil production, every single country either ignored him or agreed to make homeopatic scale increase (which was presented as a huge win by US media).
It's often said the value of social networking is O(n^2), which is basically impossible to overcome, versus n lg n, which makes the difference between 2 million and 20 million users a lot smaller (too tired for the math, sorry, maybe 20x?) instead of 100x.
Iceland, like Norway where I'm from, is part of the European Economic Area[1] through the European Free Trade Association[2], but not a full EU-member. They get access to the EU single market, by agreeing to implement EU legislation in a number of areas.

It can be quite confusing at times. For example, both Iceland and Norway are part of the Schengen agreement[3], so in that respect we're "from EU" when traveling.

50% inheritance taxes are very rare in Europe, for normal homeowners it's mostly negligible, and there are workarounds like donating your property to your kids before you die to avoid the inheritance process and taxes.

And the property taxes are mostly grandfathered to the price the property was last purchased at, rather than at the current market prices.
Sourceress on the flip side. And they use the long responses to their long emails to train more. Eh.

Recruiters have been doing this for years, stringing along applicants--ideally into turning down real offers from real people writing for real--with emotionally touching, thought-out...shit at random. To get to the point the applicant prematurely rejects all other offers and then--20 percentile salary offer, non-negotiable, "and then we'll see," and you know and I know you're homeless if you don't take it, but that never gets spoken out loud. Dude they look at all your financials, they build the equivalent of fraud detection to see how much they can lowball you, check your credit history (you knew that, they asked you for it), then they wanted all this endless information from other previous employers (but you never talk to their former employees, no boss's resume of references that worked for him to see how they really felt about it). So in response, first, declare you forfeit all stock options, unconditionally. Then, ask to talk to the people you'll be working with. Then, ultimatum offer, and if you end up on the street because of procedurally generated emotional commitment (which turns out is a liability in court, coming soon), hey, Daniel Cussen will still talk to you, I'll still listen to you, I'll give you when you beg, I'll vouch for you as a witness, I'll remember your name, I'm doing all those things where I live every day with all the awesome beggars--they have so many stories--that took the bait in some capacity.

I'll treat you just like if it were the flip side, as good as I wish you treated me if I got evicted.

And after that, accept that it's a job and subordination. And then do the job, it'll suck it's work, come on, most of the money still goes to people's salaries (this is in a transition and is shifting dramatically, money spent on training is absolutely exploding at the expense of salaries, to my and therefore your monetary benefit if you end up on the street, https://www.fgemm.com coming soon).
I would only resort to services like that if your case is really stuck, in my experince (with 4 different airlines).

A quick e-mail to the airline with the order number, stating the expected flight plan, and comparing it with the actual flight plan and a calculated delay have always worked, even with the cheaper airlines.
Owsley famous yes for LSD.

Less well understood it seems is his contribution to live music amplification. The rock bands with heavy percussion, electric guitars, and amplified vocals in the 1960s were way beyond what was available in 1966. Owsley revolutionised that.

According to him, and I have no other sources.
So have other services, i.e. PornHub and the like, crossed your threshold of public service?

I've always viewed this argument as a very poor one. This essentially mandates that all very successful online enterprises become government arms. When does Instragram/Twitter/Facebook, once made a "public platform", become free of these new responsibilities? Is Twitter free to shut down tomorrow once they have public fiduciary responsibilities?

I'm all in favor of additional regulation to encourage/reward/enforce "openness", especially with respect to data originating from users (photos, ...). But saying these companies have any responsibility to the social good is pure foolishness.
So you're saying that, if a recording is digitally master, that negates any reason to print it to a vinyl? If so, I would be interested in hearing more (not very familiar with this stuff).

Besides that, I would love to have access to some music, but it was only released in vinyl and it's too expensive for me. So if someone with the vinyl could do a decent rip and upload it somewhere, I'd love that. That's the point I'm trying to make.

I don't think this is true in general. For example, in one instance I wanted to use caddy, which wasn't packaged for CentOS at the time. I don't think I had trouble getting it to run as a non-root user, but getting it to work with SELinux was a big PITA.

The Linux community seems to have a pervasive "if you're doing X then you should be able to Y" kind of attitude. But sometimes you just need to do X, and you know what you know.
That's not the point of my comment. The point is that today we use those words without any notion of the scale they imply.

So they lost their meaning. To me it's the other side of virtue signaling, easy words to toss around to get an ego trip without having to think too hard about the nuances of the world. And you can only do that precisely because you live in a free society, because the people you are calling fascist will not kill you for doing it. Because you have the education to do so. Because you have the time and energie to do so. Because you are safe with the medium and your audience to do so. And because you don't have a fascist as a leader that is so obviously so dangerous that calling someone fascist on tweeter in comparison would make you feel stupid since it's so obviously dispropostionate.

The point is, the people doing that are immature, unexperienced, and use a word that meant to target the horrors and evil of this world to attack what are merely bad people.

It's not a political statment that they are making. It's a demonstration of how naive, ignorant and arrogant they are.

And it's an insult to people living with actual fascists every day, that one does from the comfort of their sofa where they can get food delivered and watch youtube video.

You can call someone fascist in a democracy, but then they must have in their political program the same thing as Mussolini or Hitler did. The burden is on the person to quote Main Kampf (which I doubt their read) or show similar live actions and show the parallel.

And it cannot be a single thing, it's a collection of ideas and behaviors. A racist or a pro life or somebody going to a book burning is not diserving the title. Because it's only one thing. Everybody is doing ine thing somebody else find terrible.

It's a very, very high bar to pass.
i cant get 0.72ms from my laptop for example. and havent tested it in any official way - i cannot/have not ever got this type of performance on any other solutions before this.

Equifax lost millions of credit files, no consequences for them.

The Us government lost the completed forms that people who want a security clearance have to fill and that lists all their hidden skeletons (they must disclose them in the form so the govt can assess the likelihood of them being successfully leveraged by an enemy) and nothing changed[0]:

> In 2018, the OPM was reportedly still vulnerable to data thefts, with 29 of the Government Accountability Office's 80 recommendations remaining unaddressed. In particular, the OPM was reportedly still using passwords that had been stolen in the breach. It also had not discontinued the practice of sharing administrative accounts between users, despite that practice having been recommended against as early as 2003.

Not to mention the breaches happening at regular interval. I’m concerned about them and even I can’t remember them.

People don’t care. It happened to many times. It’s too abstract for a lot of people just like “Facebook and gmail can read my messages, nothing to hide”. There is little to no penalty for not being secure enough/getting breached.

No moat can change the fact that kids wouldn't want to be caught dead on the social network that their parents or grandparents use.
That is really weird. It's clearly a very popular feature. Part of me thinks that their metrics are broken for some reason and that this has been incorrectly flagged as low usage
Is it on purpose that "improper noun" is itself an "improper noun"?
I guess it depends on how much traction they get, both by consumers and also with websites.

AFAIK some websites actively or passively block everyone except Google.
Prices were dropping before interest rates went up.
Were they wrong? Most civilizations enjoyed a period of growth and innovation followed buy a longer period of stagnation and decay. Historically, most complaints about the next generation were right.
Tell that to Assange.
Totally agree! Documented language is a great filter feature. I want more filters, not fewer.

The fact that this is the only filter they’ve added in years, and it is next to a different “language” drop-down doesn’t suggest that they’re really interested in making filtering actually helpful — but that they’re trying to solve one specific label being a source of confusion by adding another button.
The Portuguese can no longer afford to live in Lisbon. The rest of Portugal is still quite cheap.

Which has happened everywhere before. Americans can no longer afford to live in NYC and San Francisco. Canadians can no longer afford to live in Vancouver. The Spanish can no longer afford to live in Barcelona. The French can no longer afford to live in Paris.

Professions become obsolete. Your entire career can be for nothing. The city you have live for all life can suddenly get an economic boom, but you do not work in a booming industry, so you won’t share the profits.

(It happened even when capitalism has been taken out of the equation. Do you think the Soviets could afford to live in Moscow? It was a pipe dream for most of the population).

This has happened many times before. Such is life.
USAMO doesnt help with something like finger drumming/keys - i wish there was a reversed version of it, i believe it was talked about at some point - converting output into audio - decoded in the pc - for tighter timing.

MIDI latency is a pain in the ass, audio latency is negligible with any USB soundcard I've used, buffer sizes and latency compensation in DAWs matter. Adjusting your MIDI timing to compensate the jittery of MIDI on a PC is also important.

Or get an external MIDI clock like the E-RM Multiclock and never bother about MIDI latency issues. Audio is completely fine, 30-50μs of latency won't ever be perceptible to humans, the latency of MIDI will.
> This essentially mandates that all very successful online enterprises become government arms.

It doesn't. You can always split up before you grow too large, and remain private.

There's precedent: once you're a monopoly, you have extra responsibilities to the social good, like splitting up or getting regulated.
Also Bangkok, total renters market. New buildings going up every day. Lots of rents are lower than before covid.
I would add that Airlines have access to the same algorithms as the rest of us, and the boarding is a shit show because they absolutely don't care about making it better, it very often ends at the same time or earlier than fueling and baggage loading, so it's good enough.
Absolutely, I am hugely sympathetic because a lot of people who invested everything they have and got emotionally invested are going to lose their shirts if things get worse.
> politics veered hard left

By hard left do you mean "wokeism" or "communism", because the former is absolutely not hard left
Do you mind sharing the differentiating / finding a niche approach that has worked for you?
I feel like finding niches for regular consumers is much easier than finding a niche where one can attract business customers.
This started way before Youtube or smartphones in Denmark.
The anecdotes above I read as difficulty getting an airplane engine started, which is definitely true compared to a modern car engine. Even using proper technique, mine can be frustrating to get and stay started after a fuel stop. (It’s a vapor lock issue that arises from heat-soaking while stopped for fueling, not something that makes for a safety-of-flight issue.)
Mind you that the company still receives the money regardless, the only change is that they have to enforce the contract (not the other way around). Here in Germany, you would probably mandate them to charge your bank account directly and that is almost, if not impossible to get out of.

A very possible outcome I see here is that you would probably be given a window in which to checkin, which will no longer hold until 2 hours before the flight, so they can sell the seats that were not claimed a second time
I am a foreigner in Germany. I am very xenophobic and with extreme right views. Because I know many other foreigners who have almost full time jobs milking Germany’s social system. I didn’t calculate very exact numbers, but 2/3 of my earnings go for various taxes and mandatory insurances (including insane expensive public health insurance). I would say it’s really shitty deal for me financing all the immigrants and taking care of my own retirement with already heavily taxed euros.

I'm not, and it's not ok they do, either. I'm not condemning the way they run, I'm sad we as a society cut everything so close to the bone that this became normal.
You mean to get to decide to escape the prisoners dilemma that forces us to grow even if there is no benefit to it beyond patching up a broken system?
