Certainly it is true that many people are impressed by those who have an Ivy league degree. This is especially true among older people, who view these institutions with the historical prestige that they have traditionally carried. It reminds me in many ways of the Craftsman brand of tools. For many years, people swore by the quality tools put out by Craftsman. Then, in 2017, Sears sold Craftsman to Black and Decker. The quality of Craftsman tools plummeted. Its true that many people, especially older people, kept buying Craftsman tools, relying on the reputation they had built over the years. However, they learned the hard way that the Craftsman brand wasn't what it used to be. It is five years later, and some people still buy Craftsman tools based on their previous reputation, but a lot of people are already wise to the situation. It won't be next year, or the year after, but a few years down the road Craftsman will eventually be universally regarded as the trash it has become.

I can only speak personally to my experiences in the film industry (where I have worked for the last ~25 years). Speaking from my extensive personal experience, on "indie" shoots (those not being bankrolled by a studio), the last thing anyone producing a film wants is someone from an Ivy league school. Unless the Ivy league applicant is bringing some source of funding, avenue for distribution or other tangible benefit to the film, they are virtually always less competent, lazier, and more troublesome than people from other backgrounds. When I am hiring for a film, I want competent people who know their business, are going to show up on time and have as their only priority getting the job done. When I see an applicant from an Ivy I know I'm more likely to get a lazy, self-entitled person and someone who is much more likely to create friction and resentment with the rest of the crew. People who have worked hard for their positions don't like to work with someone who is slacking and complaining, especially when it someone who got the job because of a "prestigious" degree.
Just spend massively

Yeah like the governments of the world need to do even more spending right now, lol. Where do you think that money comes from?
“ Why Rust is actually good for your car.”
That gave me a chuckle. It’s a better title the one in here too
I'm not aware of any book, either.

If you want an architectural overview, an alternative approach is to read chronologically the websites coverage starting from the late 90s; it may be relatively superficial, but there's a decent amount of information:

- https://vintage3d.org/index.php: dedicated to vintage GPUs; very interesting, but I would have liked it to be more in-depth

- https://www.anandtech.com/tag/gpus/106: start of GPU coverage for Anandtech; probably middle ground between Vintage3d and Tom's Hardware

- https://www.tomshardware.com/archive/1998/2: start of (more dedicated) GPU coverage for Tom's Hardware, but it's more awkward to navigate, and I think more superficial, than Anandtech
If the cheating scandal is ever confirmed, I'm more than anything curious how this was done. Anal beads theory is just too good.

For sufficiently representative government, I think that government-owned and cooperatively-owned are synonymous. Especially for small towns, the overhead of having two separate organizations, each of which represents all people in the town, would be quite large.

Unsatisfying, Hanlon-style prediction: no one involved had any notable malice or competence.

Maintenance and cleaning crews love to listen to radio/music on speakers while working. Someone from this staff plugged in a receiver to listen while servicing the plane, and forgot it. Or they left it there for convenience and didn't think anyone would notice. Someone else unrelated, while on the flight, found this receiver on their phone/laptop, and played these sounds, possibly unwittingly.

AA may have found these devices after the incidents and just not reported it. Or they didn't take the reports seriously enough to comb the plane for problems. Or they gave up and would rather not lose the money by grounding the plane and tearing it down. (I don't have any aviation expertise, so I don't know exactly how disruptive it would be for them to to do this.)
OpenAI has trained a model to solve Math Olympiad-type problems[1], with some initial success, but currently the model isn't good at coming up with proofs involving more than a couple arguments chained together. Still some very impressive work.

I'm gonna get in on the fun and try to find ones that haven't been said.

Fossil. It is hands down the best version control and code hosting system out there, I wish more people would use it.

Gitea... I don't like git, but the fact that anyone can spin up their own server with ease and minimal resources and start collaborating is wonderful.

OSM.

Qutebrowser. Yeah I know it's buggy and can be janky and QT and all that, but a full featured keyboard focused minimal UI browser with vim like keybinds, there's a lot I'd tolerate for that.

swaywm. I finally have a workstation optimized for being a workstation. I can't wait for the day we all realize that composable graphical applications are doable with a tiling graphical interface.

btop, a really good system visualizer in the terminal.

RSS/Atom. Not really software per se, a specification, but it's great to be able to pull information as you need it.

where did you find a good developer for Wordpress? there are so many that it’s hard to separate wheat from chaff. Especially when it comes to doing things with security/authorization.

As a CTO/developer who works with Ruby/Rails and hates php, I think you made the best choice! Especially as a solo who needs these types of “auxillary” functionality. Wordpress is crazy productive in this way. Their plugin ecosystem, ease of upgrades, admin interface with roles is amazing. And the extensibility using filters and hooks is insane. I sometimes wish other libraries could offer this customization abstraction, even though it’s hard to reason about hooks and filters and it’s weird to get used to. But so powerful.
I still remember when I first read the first C implementation of this, which was IIRC by Mike Burrows.

Apparently, back in the days, Mike had some sort of philosophical opposition to indenting his C code.

I was impressed he managed to write such a complex piece of code without ever indenting anything.

If your linode is hacked, the attacker doesn't need your database password anymore...
The point I was making is that prior to AI generated pieces, a human could create one piece and then apply random filters to it and also upload thousands of small variations every day. People didn't do it because it is not very interesting. The broader point is that these AI pieces can be interesting, and such a ban is not just because of bandwidth/storage limitations.
All the way down, but sadly there appears to be an off-by-one line in the Credits and Thanks section.

Only with Enterprise or LTSB/LTSC but even that is changing as far as I know, and most people don't have access to those distributions anyway. Besides I don't want to turn off updates - that's a false dichotomy. I want to be allowed to set my own update schedule like someone who knows what they're doing with their own PC.

Completely agree, there's a ton of incentive for any security researcher to find E2EE leaks on the world's leading messaging app. In addition to that, Meta would be in ton of trouble if they did from a legal point of view.
And there I was, already looking at Wikipedia to come back here and school you that Rust hasn't been around that long. Got it just in time.
That depends on what you mean by "the town". In many cases the town may not be a legal entity, or it may be part of a larger county, that have zero interest in a rural grocery store. If you're thinking the inhabitants of the town then that might be somewhat unstable, as in people might be able to afford it one year, but not the next, people leaving, new people who are not interested.

We did something similar where I live. A new owner wanted to reopen the grocery store, and the town collected around $100.000 to get her started. A few people work for free a few hours a week, stocking shelfs and stuff like that. In the end though, it's a business and she needs to turn a profit. The people in the town are motivated to shop there, because if the store closes, the value of their homes will fall dramatically.
Agree with all the softwares author listed, I would like to add:

I wrote a GUI framework that uses React API directly.

It's more proof of concept than useable, the idea is that we don't actually have to write layouts, we can just describe the layout with code or a template language and let the computer work it out.

People who are good at programming aren't necessarily good at biology, chemistry or analysis.

And, assuming that some of them did have a talent for it and computing wasn't an option, it's not likely they'd be interested in it anyway. I was pretty great at badminton yet don't play it with any frequency.
Yes, it’s Hetzner. The magic ingredient is ipvlan, a special interface type loosely related to macvlan. An ipvlan interface is tied to a physical interface. Whether traffic goes to the virtual interface is decided based on the IP address alone. The ipvlan virtual interface can be moved to a different network namespace and will still work.

Note that Hetzner added support for multiple MAC addresses in the meantime. So at least for IPv4, you don’t need this.

There’s good info in the Linux kernel docs: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/networking/ipvlan.htm...

I have a Debian host. In my interfaces file, I have the following code for the Jitsi ipvlan link:

auto ipvl-meet
iface ipvl-meet inet manual
pre-up ip link add link eth0 name ipvl-meet type ipvlan mode l2
post-down ip link delete ipvl-meet

Then, in my LXC guest config, I have this:

lxc.net.0.type = phys
lxc.net.0.link = ipvl-meet
lxc.net.0.ipv4.address = 192.0.2.46/26
lxc.net.0.ipv4.gateway = 192.0.2.1
lxc.net.0.ipv6.address = 2001:0DB8::4/128
lxc.net.0.ipv6.gateway = fe80::1

A word of advice though: LXC likes to eat network interfaces when it fails to start a container. If you experiment, keep in mind that you may have to recreate the ipvlan interface after errors.
Those sentences are very antiscience.
It is obvious there can be multiple distinct causes to narcolepsy. The % of narcoleptics because of an orexin deficit is the interesting unanswered question.
Also this further legitimate orexin agonists such as afinils. However a mere deficit of orexin only explain chronic fatigue during day time. It does not explain at all sleep architecture deficits or irregularities.
You're looking for US companies with EU offices, basically.

You get an internationally competitive salary, and because they've got a local office, they also comply with the EU's sane employment laws.

I don't really have tips - I joined Atlassian in Sydney and transferred to Atlassian France. After a while I managed to find another job using my personal network.

At least in France some local companies are starting to realise they need to up their salary to compete with international/remote companies, so it should get better.
You don't have to generate every possible md5. Just ~10^19 keys is enough to probably have a cycle.

i'd argue that 3d-accelerated graphics from that era is still true 3d acceleration. of course, back then the pipelines were mostly fixed - nothing like programable shaders - but you're passing in 3d-coordinates, generating some matrices to determine the MVP, passing in some textures, and getting most of that "heavy lifting" of getting the pixels on the screen from the API & card.

> they were basically very fast (for the time) 2D triangle renderers.

that's still true of GPUs today :) in fact, with the exception of h264/265 encode/decode, and "AI" - that's all that graphics cards have ever done!
That's a false dichotomy - there are other workflows available. And it's not an odd use case for me at least; I've cursed Windows Update more times than I can count in the last five years.
I clicked this thing on the front page just to leave this precise remark (minus reference to the 100 prisoners). As you already did that, it seems my only sensible option is to voice my agreement.
Plastic's main selling point is it's durability, it's resistance to decay. But it's basically made of organic compounds, the thing that makes it durable is it's novelty in the environment and this resistance to decay will not last long. The day will come when it rots like paper, and it's much closer than we think.
It's not a silver bullet, but have you tried (extremely) low-dose melatonin? Mind that most OTC melatonin capsules are at such a high dosage that they're likelier to harm your sleep than help it.

I am brand new to it but it has blown me away. I can have my front end ionic stuff and backend functions in the same repo. I have so far only done PWA but can technically deploy do ios and Android from same code. npm at my disposal everywhere. I used to be a bit anti JavaScript/typescript stacks at all costs but there is something to this.

Also when you think from a 1 man operation, I don't need to think about scaling, certs, auth (much), etc. It's common enough I can hire a freelancer to work on a new feature.

I do miss though the raw simplicity of bottlepy, cork and jinja2 templates which was my old stack.
I always found this strategy of telling your debate partner what they believe, then mocking them for it, remarkably wide spread on a technical forum, considering how juvenile and unproductive it is.

The town government would probably gladly sell the store to whoever wants to run it.
That doesn't mean that they are collecting data related to the message themselves; if you can get proof of that, you'll make a ton of money! Whatsapp doesn't operate in a regulatory vacuum, and they would be in big trouble if they broke their E2EE/privacy promise.
It's done in js, so it will eventually have the same performance problems as typescript has. What a shame
With what time complexity?
OT but can these AIs generate text based on existing corpus? eg helpdesk system that suggests responses to (human) agents based on previous (human) questions and replies or a bank of frequent saved snippets/replies.

I don't think it's the temperature delta in this case, at least not between the room and outside. I suspect internal equilibration of the unit when power cycled and also energy transfer design capacity on the indoor side of the unit are to blame.

Correct (actually a linked list of blocks[1]). It supports insertion and removal from both ends in O(1), which is very useful. However, it does not support insertion and removal from the middle (via an iterator) in O(1), so it's not a complete replacement for doubly-linked lists.

Thank you! Means a lot :)
When Newton described the laws of gravity, now often referred to as Newtonian physics, did he explain what gravity was, in other words, did he have a "theory of operation of the model, except the implicit one"? No, au contraire! He gave laws that took gravity as a black box, but worked very well allowing us to predict things "like how I expect". It has been argued that giving up on explaining what gravity really is, and instead focussing on being able to predict its workings, has been one of Newton's great insights. One might argue that we still don't understand what gravity and the remaining fundamental forces (electromagnetic, strong and weak forces) really are, we still treat them as a black box, just like modern ML research mostly treat transformers (and similar) as a black box. That's normal science. Indeed, what else can you do?

The fact that "it works like how I expect" and that there is a clear trajectory of working more and more "like how I expect" is a strong indicator of scientific progress.
Maybe I misunderstood the requirements, I thought that in order to run containers a user has to belong to the lxc/lxd group. Once they belong to this group they can spawn a privileged container, which will indeed be run under root, but this effectively makes the user root too. Is there any other way for a non-root user to be limited to only unprivileged containers or have I misunderstood the requirements?
I agree with this guy.

Often they are even hidden, so you have no idea how big the document is,or where you are in it. But it sure does look minimal and slick, until you have to actually use the thing.
Many established keyboard shortcuts are going missing,but that is OK, since modern people dont like keyboards.

My favorite is when installing current windows 10, when you select language and country. You get a list that displays .. 4 items at a time, from hundreds of choices.

I think along the same lines. Mozilla has forgotten a lot of the political fights of the past around freedom and customisation and instead focused on US partisan talking points supporting censorship and forgetting about the desires of core users.

I, too, feel that eventually they might just go: "Everyone is doing it and it cost us more effort to keep maintaining it, here you have our own internal blocking, which won't block Google related stuff because they fund us"
