That talk is about the "relatime" mount option, not the O_NOATIME open() flag. The O_NOATIME open() flag was added following the semantics described in the glibc manual (https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Operating... ); I don't know where these semantics came from, my guess (given that it is glibc and O_NOATIME is described as a GNU extension) is that these semantics came from Hurd, though I haven't checked. These semantics aren't ideal (you need extra code to retry without the flag if it fails with a permission error, or you have to open() without the flag and add it later with fcntl(), both cases requiring to an extra system call), if it were added today it probably would have simpler semantics.

(Source: I wrote the patch which added O_NOATIME to the kernel, based on an older patch which didn't get in, see https://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0406.1/0894.html and https://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/9811.2/0118.html)
“There is considerable overlap between the intelligence of the smartest bears and the dumbest tourists.” is of course a great quip. But in defense of us dumb human tourists, it should also be noted that bears have a much higher personal incentive to get into the garbage, and they sometimes can simplify parts of the puzzle by brute force.

"Short and concise" isn't much praise. If I wanted something short and concise, I could say "is bad", which is probably both more concise and more honest. "Mtime comparison is bad" is more clear and more concise.

"Considered harmful" is misleading because the passive voice suggests some kind of general consensus which usually doesn't exist.

I really do think it's unfortunate that the OS cannot keep something like a "write count" for each file. That would be enough. Possibly it would even be good enough to know the number of times a file had been opened for writing.

I never said I spend £200 on gaming? I just said that my bills have increased from 100 a month to 300, but that's due to rising energy costs in the UK, not my gaming habits . It's more that in addition to my bill literally tripling, costs of gaming aren't insignificant for me. It doesn't matter that it's still cheap for the type of entertainment - it adds up. Ever pound spend this way is not a pound spent on something else.

That ranger's quote reminded me about a time I learned about the overlap in abilities between cats and raccoons.

When I was a child my family had a cat that preferred to spend most of the time outside. When we went on vacation, we would leave it inside and come home to an annoyed cat. We couldn't leave it outside, since the raccoons would steal all the food. My dad had an idea that since we had a house on a hill with a wrap around balcony we could find a way to enable the cat to reach the balcony but not the raccoons.

First we tried putting a long narrow board between the ground and the balcony on the theory that cats have better balance than raccoons. False, raccoons are fine at climbing across a narrow bridge.

Then we decided that cats are smaller than raccoons, so we would make a gate with a cutout matching the exact dimensions of our cat's head and body. In some ways this worked, the adult raccoons could not access the food. Unfortunately raccoons are not stupid, they sent a child raccoon to fetch the food to the door and then scooped it through the small opening.

The cat remained indoors during our trip.
Some other ideas include:

- I/O lists. You can submit atomic I/O lists to be executed by the kernel or by a proxy, including locking and transactions, and atomic I/O with locking and transactions is also possible on multiple files at once.

- You can duplicate the running state of the system (or of parts of it), to be able to restore it later, examine it for debugging, etc. This is not always possible (e.g. due to hardware states), but would try to usually be possible.

- A program's configuration file normally would link to the program file, or else another file links to both of them; that is the program that you must call in order to start the program (normally), rather than the program itself. In this way, the program can find its configuration files and other files. If you do not want a program to update its own configuration file, then you can just make that file read-only, or use the versioning capability of the operating system.

(These still aren't all of them, though)

I think he said it for other reason rather than kanji reading. When people discuss about logical speech and writing in Japanese, it is often said that Japanese language is good at to make sentence ambiguous. Omitting subject and object is pretty common. One-to-many is not much problem compared to that for natives.

Also the bears are usually not holding a baby, and a bottle of rum, and a deckchair and their backpack in one hand, trying to drop the rubbish in with one hand. So you have to at least try to design this for one handed human opening, where the bear has two paws to bring to bear (so to speak)

1) Serialization for storage or transit

2) Serialization for storage or transit

Unless the spec has changed, there's a fun issue. In protobuf there's no notion of null. So for instance a null list and an empty list are serialized identically. This leads to a nightmare in any system where null can have meaning by itself. I was always confused by this decision since there would be an endless number of ways to represent null that would have near zero impact on size or performance. The only cost I can see is the abstract one of making the representation less "elegant."

There are a of course endless ways to overcome this issue, but I don't think serialization implementation details should ever be allowed to leak into the model of what's being serialized. Just begging for issues down the road.
IMO the module system is explained very well in the book. Read it carefully once or twice, experiment a little, and you're golden.
Palmitic acid is called like that because it was first isolated in palm oil but it's naturally occurring in animal fat and breast milk because it's naturally produced by them.

Its not they are adding palm oil to butter and ghee, it's the because palmitic acid is not unique to palm oil (well some unscrupulous producer do adulterate ghee with palm oil but let's not go there yet what I'm saying apply to pure ghee)

The article mentions people using cable ties to anchor bottles of water, and using sand shoes as a wedge on the hinge. Two adaptive techniques which get around the Cockie's ability to heave bricks off.

It's really quite an interesting article.

Apple produced a weather app and bought out a leading competitor. This hurts the consumer because there is a loss of consumer choice and competition in the space.

I think your friend was looking for any reason to not spend their time involved with an activist cause they don’t care about on a personal level.

I have a theory that since this sentiment is difficult to put into words, where an individual is disinclined to just say “nah I don’t really care enough”, they reach for dubious sources that make them sound more ridiculous than if they stated their subjective opinion bluntly.

I do not see 25 year of software support on these? There is threes years between End of Sale and End of Vulnerabilty and Security Support (Patching) on the 6503-E for example [0]

If you mean the time between the first day of manufacturing and the end of software patching, it will be higher, but it’s definitely not 25, years. The 6503 (not the 6503-E) went end of hw support in 2012 [1], patching must have stopped a couple of years prior to this, but it’s so old I can’t find the EoL notice for this…

Finally if you mean “time between first day of manufacturing and end of patching”, then the the RV110W has at least 7 years. I can find article listing it in 2011 already [2], end of patching was 2018 [3].

I completely agree on the idea of pushing for open sourcing hardware and firmware when a device becomes end of support, but we also need to get the facts straight.

A nice game made in Twine is "Chuk and the Arena" [0]. I'm playing through it with my young son currently (having completed it myself before). It's not extremely easy but not very difficult either, and rather forgiving. It's also kind of sweet in a way. Except for the obvious bad guy(s), people you meet are kind, they help you and each other.

Another very impressive Twine game by the same author, 4x4 Archipelago [1], was fun to play, a randomly generated RPG with multiple plots. But it's wayy too long and requires some grinding.

They're both kind of like standard IF in that you have an inventory, you can use stuff from the inventory to do things and complete tasks, and you have to rely on hints to figure out what to do. Also both of them have no time-based elements and it's very obvious where to click.

> HF = hydrogen flouride

otherwise known as hydroflouric acid. nasty stuff indeed:

> In addition to being a highly corrosive liquid, hydrofluoric acid is also a powerful contact poison. Because of the ability of hydrofluoric acid to penetrate tissue, poisoning can occur readily through exposure of skin or eyes, or when inhaled or swallowed. Symptoms of exposure to hydrofluoric acid may not be immediately evident, and this can provide false reassurance to victims, causing them to delay medical treatment.[24] Despite having an irritating odor, HF may reach dangerous levels without an obvious odor.[5] HF interferes with nerve function, meaning that burns may not initially be painful. Accidental exposures can go unnoticed, delaying treatment and increasing the extent and seriousness of the injury.[24] Symptoms of HF exposure include irritation of the eyes, skin, nose, and throat, eye and skin burns, rhinitis, bronchitis, pulmonary edema (fluid buildup in the lungs), and bone damage.[25]

> there is no way this thing is storing many things.

I didn't claim that it was storing all of the images.

It is, however, quite clearly storing at least some of the original training images. What that definition is, I don't know.

To go back to the original point of this thread:

> The thing is, people have wild misconceptions about what this technology does. Many clearly think it's a photocopier. As if StableDiffusion is hiding copies of all these works inside.

I don't think it's a wild misconception, or even an unreasonable concern to be worried that it could output some of it's training images. As an end-user of the technology, you have no idea.
Verfying functionality is not even the primary way tests speed things up, in my experience. What really speeds development up is high quality code, and code written to be testable is usually of higher quality than code that is not.

In a similar manner, putting legacy code under test tends to remove a bunch of bugs; not because the tests find them, but because when I refactor the code to be testable, the bugs in the code become much more obvious.

The one and only time I visited London I just happened to wander by Buckingham Palace on the opening day of Parliament, so all the royals were coming out.

The part that floored me was all the pop and show of the uniforms, bayonets and those massive black fluffy hat things with the chin strap.

I've never been to the UK or Russia before, but I felt 100% like I was watching a Russian show of pop and flair, not a British one.

It dawned on me then that in many ways, they're indistinguishable.

Good to see more research on cannabis but I find studies by association to be incredibly easy to push in one direction or another.

I'd be more inclined to believe that parents who smoke cannabis during pregnancy are more likely to be bad parents or live in a bad environment, which result into issues with their kids 15 years later.

Or maybe they keep smoking around their kids over their lifespan and that prolonged exposure is causing problems in the adolescence.

I find it hard to believe cannabis crossing the placenta would be causing issues 15 years after exposure and not affecting the children before.

Plenty of young kids are diagnosed (even overdiagnosed if we want to talk about the subject) with behavioural issues. Why is this study not finding any evidence of that?

That would be way stronger evidence.

It's kind of crazy to think that computing is still young enough that we could have worked with the developers of operating systems, the world wide web, foundational protocols, and file formats.
