> The main point of this article was to demonstrate that high system load on Linux doesn’t come only from CPU demand, but also from disk I/O demand

Great article but this summary was zero surprise. I've only ever seen high load from disk I/O. When I was first clicking on the link I thought to myself "well, it's disk I/O, but let's see how we get to the punchline"
Added a warning :)
Seems like they are taking the right approach. Instead of trying to regulate OSS, they're funding CISA to help make it more secure.
Does "with the camera owner's consent" mean "signed up for Amazon Ring"?
I used to be this annoying when cycling in London sometimes when I was a bit younger. When cycling this assertively, it's just a matter of time before someone does one of three things: a super-close revenge overtake, ram your back wheel, or fight you in the street
The iPhone 13 pro max has a battery about 17Wh.

A typical car uses 330 Wh per mile.

Charging your phone from flat will cost you about 90 yards in range. At the most expensive electricity on the planet of about 70c per kWh it will cost you about 1c.

Yeah, I find it fascinating that all of these people seem to be watching a different show than I am. I like it. I know other diehard Tolkien fans who enjoy it a lot. If anything, I could do with a bit more nudity, a bit less graphic violence. But you can't have everything.
Replit (YC W18) Is Hiring ML Engineers to Build AI for Code
It's probably more like they hate some specific aspects of the technology realm.

One lasting aspect for example is that tech is constantly changing. From hardware designs to broader communications standards to security and new feature updates. And certainly not always enjoyably so.

For a lot of people this automatically makes tech more annoying. But in engineering there are camps that come out of stabilizer psychology. They prefer to design for a lasting platform, like a durable railroad bridge or a manufacturing process. But they might not even realize this about themselves.

So you can end up with software engineers who enjoy engineering but hate tech, without realizing why. I've met a few...
The problem is the bloat. I have CC access via work, but still choose to go with Affinity because of the performance issues. I counted 20 processes running the last time I had PS installed. The apps all take forever to load, drain battery if working remotely, and are far more unstable than in the past. I too grew up in PS in the 90s, but let's not pretend it's not become a dumpster fire - albeit a very feature rich dumpster fire as you stated.

I agree that Figma shares many of these same issues performance wise. Truthfully the only creative software I use that I truly enjoy these days is Blender. Hopefully one day the passion of Blender will make it to other areas in the creative software space.
I actually use both Keychain and LastPass. They are more or less in synch. I need LastPass (or at least another non-Keychain alternative) because I don't just work in the Apple ecosystem, but I use Keychain as well because it is very convenient when I'm on an Apple device.
Being alone is familiar. Even though you have the feeling that you want to be with others, you also crave the familiar. A trap of your own sorrow.

The way out is to pursue the unfamiliar.
> Instead of opposing it on those clear grounds, "civil liberties" groups and courts focused only on the racial aspect. It was ultimately stopped not because it was unconstitutional, authoritarian overreach, but because the "impact was disparate".

This is just plain wrong. People went after new york's stop and frisk laws for being unconstitutional. (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floyd_v._City_of_New_York)

It's not surprising that civil rights groups will focus on civil rights violations. That's not "shoehorning something into a matter of race"

When our rights are violated it's often "marginalized groups" that are disproportionately impacted because people who want to weaken our freedoms often start by attacking marginalized groups specifically because fewer people care about what happens to them and those groups often have fewer means to fight for their rights and tend to experience poorer outcomes within the legal system.

One reason why civil rights groups keep such a close eye on "marginalized groups" is that the abuses we allow to happen to them today will be the abuses we all suffer under tomorrow. Keeping an eye on how they are treated will tell us how the rest of us will be treated. Stopping those abuses before they become entrenched and normalized is critical.

It's not that nobody cares about unconstitutional practices unless they are happening to marginalized groups, but marginalized groups are where unconstitutional practices most often occur and when people fight back against them they absolutely do it because they are oppressive and authoritarian and violate everyone's rights.

If you care about your own freedoms, you should care deeply about the freedoms of everyone else, especially the most vulnerable. It's really not some conspiracy to "make everything about race".

All of that being said, the vast majority of society these days does consider it to be pretty uncool to be a huge racist, so pointing out when people are being racist does get some additional media attention to your cause, and can motivate people who don't want to be seen as enabling clearly racist practices to act against them. That does factor into things as well, although I struggle to see how that's a problem either.

I'm enjoying it well enough too. It probably helps that I have only read The Hobbit and LoTR, plus that the negative sentiment I read before I watched the show helped to keep my expectations modest.
No I realize the differences. I am just saying that if someone wants to see if their encrypted app is resulting in ad serves, they could try discussing this product in encrypted chat only, using the methodology described in the comment I was replying to above.
uBlock origin and AdBlock Pro or other ad block alternatives are what I am grateful for! Has saved me a lot of time being wasted on ads.
Also archive.is and archive.org for helping me find historical copies of webpages and also bypassing paywalls.
I was going to mention Polya's book, but you did first.

There is also Dromey's How to Solve it by Computer, which was inspired by Polya's book.

I have both, from quite a while ago, and think both are good.

I think there is more to this as well - it seems like policing is seen more as a source of revenue for cities than it is about protecting or serving the citizens of the city. I used to live in Lynnwood, WA and they added ~20 new officers in 2015 or so - by far the bulk were on "traffic". They had just spent 25+ million on a new rec center and updated library and needed to get that money from somewhere. Around that time my house was broken in to and the police saw it 100% as an insurance issue. I think A LOT of people don't see local police as anything other than another form of tax on the local citizens, and I believe it has changed the TYPE of person that wants to BECOME a police officer - from someone that is interested in helping their fellow citizen to someone that likes the feeling of power they get over others.

You should contact professionals if you can pay them. If not you should go to a library and find what happens to you on your own.

Also everything in on the Internet right now if you know how to search and you can pirate video materials that is probably much better to learn about something you don't know than a book.

A good professional will find it soon what happens to you. On the other hand you don't know how to differentiate a good professional from a bad one that just wants your money.

Nobody knows you here over the Internet. It is a very bad place to give you a diagnostic.

If you want to auto diagnose, writing down everything that you feel will help you clarify your thoughts.

Answer your own questions: Do you love to be alone because you love science and technology and people around you do not?

Are you smarter than most people and most people seem only interested in Football and Gossip? Do you feel that nobody is interested on deep topics but trivial ones?

Do you love to be alone because people interrupt you constantly and do not let you concentrate and think?

Do you feel social anxiety around people? This usually happens when you had bad experiences growing up around other kids.

Most people have bad experiences with their parents, their family or their friends and that could block entire parts of their lives. If a girl is raped, it can destroy her future if she has not professional help and the same happens with a guy that was bullied.

I have filled 300 pages notebooks with those questions and answers so I know myself very well. I also have worked on my issues going to seminars and buying programs and books and helping friends.
> The type system is unsound.

I've never seen this as a barrier to producing working software.

Meanwhile Dart is sound, bit but doesn't have nearly the same adoption.
> Pipe this into that and through seven pieces of software that sound like glibgcd, add 8 arcane flags and in the end you have some kind of textfile that would've just as easily been made in some handmade program? What exactly is the selling point for devs?

No, that's exactly the selling point.

Yes, you could write some hand made program. And piping software together IS a kind of hand made program. It's just going to be far faster to write that pipeline, than to write a custom program, deploy, and run it.

And the pipeline might be much much faster. A classic example:

Had to comment on this!

The IPad was described as a glass keyboard when it was still a secret. It was inspired by an argument with a Microsoft employee who argued apple should license the windows tablet OS and make tablets.

The whole company was more focused on making a phone however. And three secret internal movements converged into what is the IPhone today. Best thing is it was kept secret from Steve Jobs. But once he saw it, he shelved the iPad and worked on the iPhone.

The iPhone's predecessor was the Motorola iTunes phone. Which was a combo of the ipod and phone.

A bit of compiled history.

Edit: iPad was a development concept because he believed tablets should not have a stylus. And got angry at Microsoft employee for suggesting it should.
I've flagged these concerns to several people involved in Webauthn, privately and publicly, and passkey portability is pretty clearly low-priority (i.e. never going to happen) for them.
New Horizons used the standard internal game engine Nintendo deploys for most of their flagship Switch games, called LunchPak/LunchPak 2.

https://www.reddit.com/r/gamedev/comments/fnfdic/nintendos_g...

Which is crazy since (having played NL and NH for a combined 1500 hours) even the little, deep details carry on from New Leaf. If I didn't know better I'd say NH was using an evolved NL engine.
I played through that mission and was thinking "Wow, they must be taking huge liberties with the historical accuracy these days. There's no way this actually happened."

Well, shows what I know.
Stuff I'm thankful for, in no particular order. None of these are particularly unique to me, nor are they obscure and hipster, they're just stuff I have found myself really thankful for.

powerlevel10k because it makes adding custom sections to my shell prompt really straightforward. https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k

terraform because I have a job wrangling it lol

asdf because it manages versions of software for me really well and it has thus far been rock solid reliable. https://asdf-vm.com/

Emacs because it's about as configurable and customizable as my most insane requirements. And emacs lisp is very cool. Similarly, vim and vscode are also dear to me.

Factorio! because of course Factorio, it's amazing. Similarly Kerbal Space Program.

Firefox for standing up against the chrome hegemony nowadays, and for being so exciting back in 1998 with its initial open source decision.

And Tree Style Tabs, because every time I have to use a browser without it, my skin crawls at the lack of organization. https://github.com/piroor/treestyletab

And the big ones: grep, sed, awk, cut, sort, uniq, jq for all the times they've turned something incomprehensible into something useful to this tiny mind.

EDIT: oh and zsh because zmodload zsh/datetime gives me $EPOCHSECONDS which makes life so much easier to make cool prompt segments like "days and hours since last commit" and "remaining auth session time in minutes and seconds"

# display time since last commit in days and hours
gdate -d @$(($EPOCHSECONDS-$(git log -1 --format=%ct))) -u +"(%-dd %-Hh ago)"
Software engineers don't hate technology.

We hate software that doesn't even approximate the free/open software ideals that attracted us to the field in the first place.

I've collected some expressions of disappointment from others in the field.

Read stoic philosophy. It’s a real cheer.

http://classics.mit.edu/Epictetus/epicench.html

For instance:
“With regard to whatever objects give you delight, are useful, or are deeply loved, remember to tell yourself of what general nature they are, beginning from the most insignificant things. If, for example, you are fond of a specific ceramic cup, remind yourself that it is only ceramic cups in general of which you are fond. Then, if it breaks, you will not be disturbed. If you kiss your child, or your wife, say that you only kiss things which are human, and thus you will not be disturbed if either of them dies.”

Right-o!
You r right. I missed that point. Cool

It’s true. Drivers can often be absolutely psychotic. Like they actually, sincerely want you dead because you (theoretically) inconvenience them briefly.

I rarely ride my bike on the road in my home country, Australia, for fear of my life. Instead I travel to bike-friendly countries, like Japan and the Netherlands, to do my cycling. The difference is night and day. Somehow in countries where cycling is normal drivers just don’t seem to have an issue with you taking up space on the road. (As the guy in the video says, “I am traffic.”)

It’s a great shame that the most efficient and environmentally friendly form of transport is so despised in so many places. And that’s a massive understatement.
I just don't understand why people don't say "I don't like it" rather than "This show is bad". It's not that difficult to have a strong opinion and also leave room for others.

Most of those are hardly Switch exclusive.

I like the Switch, but it definitely chugs, and I suspect had we not had the supply chain meltdown over the pandemic we would‘ve gotten a more significant hardware refresh.

As far as simulators go, I‘m playing Two Point Campus, and it definitely chugs and crashes occasionally.
>does not even claim to remove particulates: "effectively remove 99.5% of volatile organic compounds"

These filters are sold to pot growers who are specifically trying to remove the pot smell (VOCs) from the air so that's the focus of their claims.

Maybe I am making an incorrect assumption, but aren't VOCs smaller particles than the "bad stuff" from wildfire smoke?

Solution: realize your first order desires of being alone are killing you faster. It’s analogous to the desire for sugar, which humans have never had the wealth to eat non-stop until now. First order desires are often destructive when untamed.
I’m a pretty big Tolkien fan and I absolutely love this series. They keep surprising me with license-scope beyond what I thought Amazon acquired (using content from the Simarilian for example). If you’re on the fence about this show because of its media, give it a shot!

If ‘shit you need to do’ includes office use (Excel has no competition), graphics (Adobe, others), or quite a few other equally important things, Linux will not be a good fit.

I use Linux on my computers because it’s much easier to use — setup is easier and more reliable; hardware support is either available or not, without weird driver issues or clunky bespoke vendor applications; scripting is easily available; basic programming tools are much easier to set up; DEs are better than the competition and window managers exist; package management exists, …

The application landscape, however, is obviously incomplete, with limited progress.
Basically he doesn't feel transported to a genuine lived in "honor bound" world. I remember when the big debates over the Star Wars prequels started, one argument in defense was that basically they were for kids and older fans hated them because they hated they were no longer children and could no longer feel the story beats and world it created so strongly due to a decreased sense of imagination and wonderment. I thought that was a lame deflection at the time but now that as the author has said, Fantasy/SciFi genre exercises dominate all of pop culture and I'm older I got to say I think that was 100% correct.
I've read the Silmarillion too. I think the show is very enjoyable regardless and some references are nice too even if they aren't always are completely accurate.

I’m case anyone stumbles on this in the future, I was unable to find an app that serves the purpose I was looking for but after speaking to concept2 I did find out it was possible to connect the PM5 to two devices simultaneously by using both the Bluetooth and the Ant+ capabilities of the PM5. There are two Ant+ to Bluetooth bridge devices on the market: the 4iiiive heart rate monitor and the NPE cable. You connect the PM5 to one of these over Ant+ then connect the bridge device to your iOS device over bluetooth. The PM5 Bluetooth channel is then free to connect to another device.

I would strongly encourage you to give freely to someone what you wish to receive.

Intellectual loneliness is the equivalent of I skipped leg day at the gym, not the badge of honor some make it to be. If you don't know why someone isn't intellectually on your level, unearth why. You will discover every human on this planet has the deepest depths of any other with varying degrees of access.

If all that sounds too unstructured, I would highly recommend reading Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl. And specifically, if you're looking for companionship, Love Does by Bob Goff.

From someone who has already reached heights in Silicon Valley, found a wonderful spouse, and now has a kid after turning 30 these are some things that helped me through what you're sharing here. I wish you the best on your journey
