> no more VAXen

Yeah. I tried to donate a VAXstation 4000 to OpenBSD when I was emigrating from the UK. My then-new employers Red Hat offered to ship it to Canada free of charge.

Unfortunately, when he discovered it wasn't the fastest model, Theo de Raadt changed his mind.

It was a couple of years until I had a permanent place to live with some storage space. I asked for it back, and Red Hat Farnborough had lost it.

I am still very unhappy about that. It was quite a valuable machine.
I've had that backseat driving one a lot, and it tends to come and go throughout my life.

Sometimes I'm alone in the car. Other times there is someone else in the front but they are incapacitated, or unwilling to bring the car back under control. I'm usually alone, though.

On a few occasions I was able to climb into the front seat, but of course then the brakes either did nothing or were so ineffectual that trying to use them to slow down only distracted me and made matters worse.
To a large degree, the public via universities.
Improved radio, podcasts are great!

I do wish we would have another name for "podcasts" that are only on Spotify f.x.
I think he's a bit out of date. Some of the hi tech solar panels still use rare earths but since ~2014 they're more the kind of thing you'd put on a space station not a roof.

The cheap, grid scale solar panels are all crystalline silicon.
Many EU internships would pay the pro-rated same as a new graduate; so 200-300/month seems crazy. Here in Switzerland I think you'd expect to get around 3.5-4k per month

I don't want to start a war about static/dynamic linking / shared libraries, so: some people want some shared libraries for some reasons.

One problem with having different applications use different versions of libraries is that you can have multiple versions of a library installed.

Having multiple versions of a library installed undermines some of the reasons for using shared libraries in the first place.

A lot of (most?) software was never meant to be used this way. It's uncommon to see an application that separates its data/config with unique filenames per version, for example. And there's not a global answer to whether or not that data should be shared between versions anyway. [0]

Container-style software distribution largely avoids these issues by not having shared libraries[1] for the most part. This has some benefits like the sandboxing and security features and making consistent behaviour across environments more achievable[2]. But you miss out on benefits from using shared libraries. Surprise -- a software development decision is a trade-off!

[0] Blender stands out for separating config files per version and also letting you easily import an existing config from an earlier version after an update.

[1] or not sharing shared libraries

[2] consistent behaviour across environments is more achievable as the dependencies are shipped with the application (you can ship dependencies without containers as well, e.g. static linking)
you also have to factor in the cost of the hydrogen to burn which for green hydrogen isn't cheap.

It is suggested that coffee is a diuretic. One can consume a diuretic yet not be dehydrated.
School is quite wrong on teaching "how life works", school push us to be competitive and individualist. While real life is much more abput cooperation.
School (at least in France) tell us beeing wrong is bad. But making mistakes is essential part of learning.
You being a liberal actual trust the government with more power?
yes, currently a robotics intern and my rent is incredibly cheap for the area, but it is still more than 300 a month. typical salary would be more like 700-1k euros per month. This is northern europe (but not in a large city), it may be significantly less in romania/moldova/bulgaria etc

Podcasts were radio.

"Serial" happened and it became a event.

Now they are back to radio.

If you disagree name the podcast before "Serial" that we all know about? Or something recently.

OT: Check out Apple TVs "Calls" for an interesting attempt at an almost entirely audio based TV Show https://m.imdb.com/title/tt9327706/
Podcasting exited way before 2014. Just check Wikipedia.

In fact Steve Jobs talked about it on stage so they were important enough for him, yet he died 2011...

Great journalism /s
It is low, lower than minimum wage in many places. It really depends who OP is working for and if they’re expected to do it alongside school. This may be more of a stipend or something rather than a wage, and as such they aren’t expected to use it to pay for housing or food.

The internships I had in private sector in the US paid me usually a few dollars above minimum wage (and in the last case, about $20 per hour). On the other hand, the summer I interned for my high school I wasn’t paid, but that was acceptable because they were a non-profit and I wanted to have something to do besides sit at home :)
A key insight into agriculture is that the main reason we spread our farms out over massive areas of land is because it is simply more economical. If you think about it from first principles, farming outdoors has major flaws the biggest of which is seasonality. Most crops mature in a handful of months but must be grown only at specific times of the year in order to maximize yield. Doing this out in the open puts you at the mercy of nature. Besides the limited growing season you also have to deal with losses due to weather, pests, competing plants (weeds), and other local conditions like drought or soil quality. The only reason we do it is because it's cheap. It requires less initial cost to set up and less energy input.

If you were to redesign the process you could conceivably build massive greenhouses to control conditions. If you had surplus energy you could also actively heat, cool and light these greenhouses. From a quick look, greenhouse conditions can produce 15 times more yield per acre. They reduce wastage by a comparably large amount as well since half of produce is thrown away due to cosmetic blemishes. They would also drastically reduce the amount of fertilizer and pesticide needed. I think you could drive yields even higher with round the clock lighting, studies as well as practical experience from farmers in northern territories have shown that longer daylight hours allow plants to mature much more rapidly.

An ideal farming setup to me would look like hectares of greenhouses located next to a nuclear power plant that can provide heated water for keeping them warm and cheap power for cooling and lighting.
Yup, I think it's just some form of analytics that profiles the user.

I've always suspected them of recording conversations, also why I think Android has gradually tightened permissions and visibilty around speech to text/microphone/camera use.
The example bio is 476 kB. Even if it's lighter than an empty linktr.ee profile[0], that seems quite a lot for a few links on a solid (green) background?

> While there are many reasons why a habitable world would not have signs of life, if, over the coming years, astronomers look at these super habitable super-Earths and find nothing, humanity may be forced to conclude that the universe is a lonely place.

Interesting... The "no" is definitely cheaper and faster than the "maybe" or "yes." If we get a "no", what's next? Planet-wide depression?
That's basically what the Radeon 6400 can be. Here's the low profile version:

https://www.powercolor.com/product?id=1640245090

Barely longer than the PCI-E slot and only needs a single slot.

The Radeon RX 6400 is basically AMD's high end integrated GPU on a card being very similar to the Radeon 680M in Ryzen 6000 chips. But I think the dedicated memory offers an improvement over the APU solution.
I was not disagreeing with you in the initial reply, two things can be true at the same time.

Like I said; government influence has a negative outcome in most cases, but allowing social media platforms to do as they wish is a recipe for disaster if we're not there already.

> Im sure the religious right would love to control the narrative

I'm sure the ideological left appreciates the social media platform's bias towards their progressive ideology. It's equally wrong if they had a different bias. You, we, need to stop being divisive, it's toxic.
I mean, in France if you're over 2 months of internship the minimum is 3.90€ per hour
If you're doing 35h per week you should be at the double (540)

So it really depends on the country the company is based on. Try to look for the legally minimum for internship there
What happened to https://github.com/substack?
Why he deleted his own GitHub account?
Yes, same for me. On my work laptop I use Firefox, and tried it for a few weeks without adblocker, then I gave up.

I'd love to keep Vivaldi, and when there are problems with adblocking, I will give it a patient try to see how bad it actually is, but leaving the chromium world is absolutely an option here.

Wonder how Firefox' market share will be influenced by this, in general.
As much fun as it is to dunk on the current younger generations, this isn’t some new phenomenon. Older millennials, Gen-Xers, and Boomers didn’t think what their parents did was cool either.
IR35 reform to be repealed; workers will determine employment status
This is an issue that has been open for 10 years where, from the looks of it, implementation is being blocked by one person despite numerous parties asking for its implementation. Many Android vendors implement their own solution.
Solar panels never used rare earths.
Are they though?
A big fraction of those panels are made in countries other than China.
The panels generally generate still more than 70% of their original power after 20 or 30 years.

They're hardend against hail, can be insured and do definitely not require a lot of copper wiring.

I wouldn't buy any stock related to mini nuclear reactors. It doesn't seem like a promising solution, since none of them have been actually deployed at all, they cannot be sold to less rich countries since they prefer solar in general, and the dangers to nuclear accidents, proliferation as well as the inevitable dismantling after their lifetimes.

We're good with solar, wind and hydrogen storage.

I'm not a nuclear engineer, but I wish there was more news about it.
> Canada recently started to advice against milk [...]

What's the source for that?
awesome work and awesome CEO. I think you guys both learned from each other which is a great zero sum game.
Was yours based on "Drivey"?

EDIT: never mind, it looks like it was, very cool.
The more basic explanation is that she has been served ads for puzzles like that for a while, based on previous history and maybe retargeting from the company and you guys only notice the ad because it's more salient after sending a message with the puzzle in it.

There's no reason you'd have noticed an ad about the puzzle in the wash of content and other types of ads.

Clearly we didn't have the same experience at school. I'd never go back, not for anything. I'm glad you had a better time.
I would absolutely be surprised if they did that. Apple does not seem interested in this line of apps, and its quite a lot to go from glorified paint to a Figma competitor.

There's just not much precedent for Apple caring about building out apps for 'pro' work - Final Cut and Logic Pro as historical anomalies.

If you encounter a case where the solution to a problem was PhantomData or Pin, and the compiler doesn't flat out tell you that, file a ticket.
I can attest I've seen this behaviour and played this game with a friend. We concocted obscure conversation points e.g "Flamingo statues" and not long after would get ads in the right ballpark of relevance on Instagram. Hard to know if it's nefarious as it could be mere coincidence or confirmation bias.

Tangental aside; it still confounds me where the business opportunity of WhatsApp resides for Meta if they "can't" get access to the data.
Sure, Vivaldi's AdBlocker might not be impacted a lot, but it does not matter because it is terrible anyway and it triggers every "adblock detection script" I've ever seen. While I like rest of the browser it is unusable without customised uBlock Origin.

I was hoping some company would fork Chromium before Manifest V3 change and apply patches from mainline as necessary but it seems less and less likely with every day. If Vivaldi manages to patch out Google's changes and keep uBlock working as it is now they will have me as their user until heat death of the universe.
When I did my internship in 2000, they paid me 1000 euro/m for doing web dev stuff on the Microsoft stack. This was in the Netherlands, and I'm Dutch, so maybe not the same situation.

No. I didn't even think of that. But it sounds like a great idea. I'll explore. Thank you.

> How has being free from employment been working out so far?

It has had its ups and downs, but I can say I am much happier in general. General restlessness/anxiety I used to have all the time has significantly come down. I got to experience sort of a stillness of thoughts, which has been a new experience for me.

I've been mulling over writing a 6-month update to document my thoughts/experience; will do soon.
Why would they want to even if they could? Nobody would believe their answer.
As I already pointed out, for the last few percent this doesn't matter much, as the cost of the energy there is dominated by the capital cost of the storage system, not the cost of the fuel being burned.
I host a nationwide radio show that we also publish as a podcast. Podcasting is not radio, as much as I'd enjoy that. We are the only show I'm aware of that publishes "show notes", links to things we talk about on the radio, encouraging listeners to check those things out. We are also deeply tied to the schedule: some of my favorite podcasts vary greatly in length, our show is exactly 25 minutes every time, with a reminder "what show you are listening to" around 12 minutes.

Radio is still great at having massive, immediate, but highly passive audience. In every other regard, podcasts are so much better.
Well, my wife sent me a picture of my daughter working on a puzzle. Less than 24 hours later, her Instagram was showing ads for a store that was selling the same type of puzzle as the one my daughter was playing with. So it's not just terms but images too.
Local generally means county level. Something like maximum 1M people (exact number to be determined), and if it grows more than that it gets split.
That's only possible because the science itself is difficult.

You will all be happy to know that teachers suffer from their own brand of school dreams where they are unprepared for class, can't find their lecture notes, and so on. I just left the profession, and now I will be plagued by both kinds of dreams for the rest of my life.
That's normal. Green field new development is rare. I haven't written anything really new in months, it's just upgrading, fixing, finetuning existing systems.
This should be fixed by case manufactures working with the other players. Pick a reasonable max length and be done with it. GPUs can come with an extender to meet the case front captive bracket.

Nobody agrees on anything anymore. We need standards like those created 30 years ago. But everyone wants to do their own thing without realizing the reason for the inter compatibility is because people got over themselves and worked together.
> And, advertising everywhere. Most podcasts aren't the handsfree experience they used to be, now that I have to seek past ads every 15 minutes.

In some comedy podcasts, I can find the ad reads to be entertaining enough to be worth a listen. In others my heart sinks every time I hear the same pre-recorded ad (that annoyed me the first time) popping up again.

Just how bad is it in general? Feels like there's an opportunity for good content in the ad breaks, even on non-silly podcasts - but that requires effort to generate something interesting / useful / fun that's not the same every time.

OTOH, for some products it seems like spamming out the same content to build recognition does seem to be a rational (or at least popular!) strategy, which is a shame.
Whenever I see a docker compose based install, it's clear that the installation wasn't thought through very well. Inevitably, these installs are more complicated and less reliable than a finished product.
If the intent is to say a business should not be able ban a protected class per the Civil

The discussion would then be about if we legally protect members of tribe with certain gender, skin color, cultural affiliation, etc, why would we not protect a tribe of certain political views, that is an interesting question that I am not sure how to delineate.
Well before the '08 financial crisis, I started noticing that whenever I looked at the world through the lens of science and innovation, the future looked insanely bright, but whenever I looked through the lens of politics, it looks like we're sooo screwed.

The next decade and a half, with the rise of authoritarianism and populism, and the clear and miserable failure of the Grand Experiment — that openness and trade would bring liberal democracy to authoritarian states like RUS and CCP — merely make it even more obvious that governance is forked, and not in a good way.

Overall, it looks like the technology trend is from 1) barely possible, to 2) scaled up and dirty, to 3) scaled up, efficient, clean, and sustainable. We're sort of moving from Stage 2 to Stage 3.

But, can we get there in time? The disaster is already upon us, faster than expected, and there are a number of tipping points and feedback loops just starting to come into play (e.g., lower reflectance at the poles, melting permafrost set to release gigatons of stored methane which is ~22x more potent a greenhouse gas than CO2, etc.).

The politics are obviously decades behind where they need to be, and the VC money is only beginning to see the opportunity in clean energy after focusing for decades on worthless internet trends instead of real hard innovation. Will it still be enough for some breakthrough as the mountain we must climb becomes even steeper?
surely that just completely subverts e2e encryption??
Gatsby and Next.js seem to be fiercely competing both in terms of features and for users. But are they the same tool by different names? Is one better than the other?
Right, the premise, "What makes solar panels expensive" is flawed. They are not expensive, they are astonishingly cheap.

But maybe he just means that something will keep their cost above zero, which is true. But their cost per watt nameplate capacity will continue on down with the amount of material they need, and the amount of labor going into them.

Today they still need a frame, and glass, and are packed in boxes onto pallets and shipped; to be mounted on rails and brackets. But soon enough they will have no glass, and no frame, and be shipped in big rolls to be stretched between posts.
This is a win. Despite how we feel about Russia and its government, it's a good move to decrease Microsoft, Apple, and Google their global power. Now we hope that the open source community stays true to their open source intent and allows Russians to use open source software the same as any other person.
> None of the information you listed is collected or stored by Signal.

That's a lie. I don't blame you for not knowing the truth though, Signal has gone to some trouble to make things unclear, but reality is reality.

Signal has the data, but they've set up their system in a way that would require either an exploit (we've already seen examples of these) or a brute force attack to get the data requested and it's doubtful that a standard subpoena would compel them to use those methods. That said, it does leave the data vulnerable to the NSA or any other three letter agency who is willing to employ those types of methods. Signal would surely not be posting about any national security letters they were handed on their website.

Similarly anyone who can guess or brute force a four digit pin could also get the data of some users. I've posted other links with more information on all of this further down, you can check my recent comments for them, but here's this to get you started.

What types of phones are and your wife using? My personal theory is that a lot of these situations are actually the phone itself (or a third party keyboard app, apps copying clipboard content, etc) doing the “spying” and not WhatsApp somehow bypassing the E2E encryption.

She used the WhatsApp camera app. We have Google photos too, but we have it configured so that WhatsApp images don't get uploaded.
"good" is not quite the right word here - it is an objectively bad offer.

It is however true that many internships are not paid. This practice is illegal in Europe, but it is widely flaunted and enforcement is zero.
Many true things about COVID were labelled "misinformation" at one point or another.

The publishing gatekeepers of a few decades ago projected an image of confidence, but I'm not sure they were actually any more accurate than random youtube videos. The media establishment of today certainly doesn't seem to be.

Homophobia generally spread throughout the world with Christianity, carried by colonialism. Again, China is a good example. And fixing homophobia in western societies strongly corresponds to decreasing importance of religion.

It’s not limited to homophobia of course - pretty much every single Catholic claim about human sexuality is antiscientific bull - but I think homophobia is a good enough example of a harmful, false belief that got more popular than anything post-internet.

I would also be very interested in a six-month update. Thanks for living and learning out loud!
Depending on your situation, some pay might be preferable to none. However there are definitely companies out there that pay "normal" wages to interns. In teams I've worked on interns were typically paid <€2k per month, which I would've said was very low, but the interns themselves disagreed with me as they had friends/classmates in other companies getting paid nothing.

(note: as I mentioned in another comment, it's illegal in Europe to pay interns nothing, but this law is widely flaunted and enforcement is non-existent)

One thing to consider is progression & promotions: expect to change company: if you're hired on the back of an internship will likely net you similarly low wages, which may make %-based pay-rises tricky if you stay in the same company.
