You’re conflating cheap with copyright violation, which is a bit disingenuous in an attempt I guess to guilt people for wanting to buy a cheap book.

It’s fine to want a cheap book, want to support the publisher/author with a legit purchase, and not care about supporting a bookstore. Not everyone who likes books cares to keep alive the industry of physical books and bookstores.
not foss, but foxit reader on linux supports signatures
Just as a counter. You are not obligate to listen to OP's comment, that is just one of the many perspectives that one can have around a book shopping.

Please go ahead and do build a hyper focused product which finds out most 'inexpensive' source for a book that one is clear about (that is, one is not in a discovery mode).

I'm sure there would be whole lot of students who would be super thankful about this service, there is enough of price gouging in educational segment. Even if you are not building textbook related service, still it would help.
I'm not Chinese American, or even American. I'm Canadian.

I never understood why people want another country to "collapse". It'd be such a humanitarian tragedy it would go from a quick moment of blind happiness to horror, think of the millions of elderly depending on pensions, already living on the edge. The kids depending on school lunches.

Our real enemies are at home, it's the corporations.
I don't know. It wasn't all good. We also had MFC (remember that?), tcl/tk, and everything had to be written in C. It was like pulling teeth to get people to use C++, and if you succeeded, you might regret it. The C++ people were still having flame wars on all the ways to do exception handling. The world revolved around Microsoft more and more, and Linux wasn't an alternative yet.

I think of the naughts as that idyllic time (for a software engineer). Microsoft was being overthrown, Apple hadn't gone full-minimalist yet, and the Linux Desktop was actually a pretty fun place to hack. Gnome and KDE weren't yet trying to copy everything Apple was doing (also, we had WindowMaker and enlightenment if you wanted to actually go minimalistic). The internets made all that sharing and open source possible, and it was like the world was all new and shiny.
If these people spend nearly as much time writing software than writing these blog posts, it will be a much better thing.
The energy is used to drive the cars, replacing gasoline.

I suspect your napkin math is probably calculating a different use case which is not the most common intended use case of car batteries, but rather, if even practical at all, only a trifling convenience, the scale of which will be lost in the noise when compared to actual driving usage.

Again, what was your point?
We cannot keep extracting more and more resources from our finite planet, at least not without destroying it in the process, as the current situation clearly shows.

The root cause of the issues pointed out in the article is the level of the global population. If we were, say, 500 million on the planet we would not even be discussing how much meat we could eat sustainably because we would not have that problem in the first place.

Dismissing this as "Malthusianism has been proven wrong" is dangerously misguided and myopic. Unfortunately many people refuse to face reality for ingrained cultural reasons, it's in effect taboo.
> Docker is a Linux-specific piece of software, and the only way to use it within macOS is to run a Linux virtual machine, with Docker running inside the Linux VM.

That is entirely untrue: https://docs.docker.com/desktop/install/mac-install/

Hell, it’s even on Windows.
What about my comment struck you so deep to the bone that you wondered what my "emotional attachment" to the media construct of Elon Musk is? Did I make it seem like I love Elon Musk and wish he'd return my phone calls? LIke I have some fucking shrine with his awkward mug on it? I do, but it's from when he was balding.

How about you, 'idiotsecant', you seem emotionally invested to some pointless deep thread on something with the keyword "Elon Musk", what motivates your subconscious after spending 10,000 hours deep in social media and speculating on crypto?

God forbid someone tries to apply some rational thought to "Elon Musk is the WORST" twitterlogic grouphate. The ISSUE IS that the entire world's panties are in a bunch over Elon being the "worst person ohmygod" when if you rank him in "worst CEOs in the world" he's probably about #20,000 after mining execs, petroleum companies, bankers, pharmaceutical companies, automotive execs, amazon execs, facebook/google, sweatshop manufacturers, meatpackers, pesticide makers, plastics companies, Xe, security companies, shipping, defense contractors, firearms manufacturers ... It shows a complete lack of understanding of the world and the serious shit we are in.

Of course this manipulative bullshit you just posted means you're equally ignorant, even if you think you're not. Christ, and your day job is in alternative energy, you should know better. That's depressing.
> The problem is that a house is seen as in investment vehicle.

That's not an alternative to the problem of bad regulation, it's the reason for the bad regulation. "Seen as an investment vehicle" doesn't mean "the corporations" are hoarding them, it means every old person is counting the house in their net worth, and the government tries to prop them up while at the same time providing affordable housing for the poor. This causes the "missing middle" effect, where there isn't anything in between for those of us who could theoretically buy something unsubsidized.
I have experienced a roofing nail puncture as a cyclist. In Australia roofing nails usually are galvanised with a washer to spread the load held by the head across a corrugated sheet of steel or plastic.

I was riding at around 35 km/hr and believe my rear tyre rolled along the nail from point to head until the tyre hit the washer. The washer then then forced the point of the nail upwards into my tyre, tube and then right through my aluminium rim. There was a very load bang and an near instantaneous loss of tyre pressure. I was lucky it was the rear wheel and not the front so I could keep the bike straight and slow down safely. The wheel wasn't ride-able after that.

In my car the two times I've had puncture were due to roofing screws which also have a built in washer type flange. Again I think the washer/flange acts as a lever helping to flip the point upwards into the tyre. In both cases the car tyre didn't deflate but we could hear the screw hitting the road on every tyre revolution so drove straight to the nearest tyre repair shop to get it fixed.
How to make Vim paste from (and copy to) system's clipboard?

It can't be just that. I have the skills, tools, and basically enough cash to build what would have been a nice house on decent land in California 20 years ago.
But it's nowhere near enough now. By the time you buy 2 acres on the edge of town, get all the connections to utilities you need, get everything approved and permitted, and pay for all the materials, you're well beyond what most regular people can afford.
In 1998, I had a highschool friend who's mother was going to law school at 40 years old, and his dad was an employee in the construction industry. In 2 years over weekends, while the mother still paid for law school, they build a house that today is worth well over a million dollars on 1 acre.
A construction worker with a wife going back to college isn't pulling that off today.
If they could, they would do it full time and build one of owner builder homes and sell them. It doesn't pencil out these days at all from government fees and material costs.
It's not just 'oh houses are expensive because owners want them to be'.
I’d wondered if you have a particular affinity for the mid-sixties. You were born in 1969. There’s a psychological theory that says what we tend to be most nostalgic for is a period in time that is several years before our own birth—when our parents’ romance might have been at its peak. The technical term for the phenomenon is “cascading reminiscence bump.”

This is a pretty interesting idea and as someone born in the early nineties, I definitely find aspects of the 80s to be appealing, especially when it comes to tech and sci-fi. I wonder if this phenomenon could be linked to the popularity of cultural trends in general.
You misunderstand how important memory is for learning. Ofsted, the UK school inspection board, actually defines learning itself as a "change in long-term memory". You can't learn anything without a change to your memory, they aren't separate things.

So, sure, you should try to apply your knowledge and layer concepts on top of each other. But if you do that AND also remember a lot more of such experiences you'll learn a lot faster.
I'm still lamenting the demise of the "Impress!ve" pdf presentation tool. It was super cool. Currently unnmaintained and spitting errors, unfortunately.
Metformin and Exercise
After reading various comments by all sorts here, it is obvious that many do not know history nor do they understand the consequences of decisions made in the past that are now coming home to roost. Those decisions being approved by whatever political group was dominate at the time.

What we see today is no different that what was seen 2 millenia ago and many times since.

The problem is a "whole of society" problem and while we are tearing ourselves to shreds over "political" and "social" and "religious" differences, we all contribute to the implosion of society in general.

This is the lesson from history and as long as we do not learn, we repeat again and again those same mistakes.
Doesn't Monterey still run X - so you could forward x11 over ssh from host into docker?
Unfortunately C++20 only gave us concepts light, however Circle might be getting full concepts as they were originally designed, and those are like Rust, Go, Haskell, etc.
Agree, 100%. I storytelling without the imagination is a story that doesn't change your perspective in any way.
Watching that as a French was for me like watching what an american would fantasize about the country. It was very weird and interesting and completely discordant but not in a bad way. The May 68 protest part was so weird, both insulting and naive, with a sort of truth to it but exagerated like only an american would.

I wonder how Americans feel when playing "Life is strange", a French fantasy about what America is like.

This is aimed towards physical books. Hopefully if people can access books legally and cheaply it will discourage piracy.
Agreed. I would have also liked to see more exploration on the "Americans in Europe" theme in an Anderson style. Especially in the WW1/1920s era, with Hemingway, Fitzgerald, etc.
> is basically git unfuck

Yes, when the odd time it's not being git fuck.

That's the point. "git reset --hard" is a command I reach for umpteen times daily. Its use cases cannot be replaced by "git reset". It isn't just some rarely-used footgun used by Git gurus, who reason very carefully about all of its corner cases and implications in that once-in-a-blue-moon situation. It's a daily driver.

"git reset --hard" could use its own safety mechanisms.

When "git reset --hard" is discarding staged adds, there would be zero downside in simply not removing the goddamned files. "git reset --harder" could do that, for people who like to lose files in corner cases.

When "git reset --hard" is not discarding staged adds, but, say, navigating from a commit where a file exists to one where it doesn't, then in that case it's perfectly fine to remove.

Another safeguard needed in "git reset --hard" is that when you reset to a particular commit which has a file, it will overwrite a local file which is in the way. That could use a safeguard. "git reset --hard" could refuse, but "git reset --harder" would do it. When I say, "go to this commit and make the working tree look like it", I don't mean that I want to ignore conflicts (that I don't even know about) between that commit and local files.
You can create more houses on the same land with technology called "taller buildings", mass timber construction, single stair apartment reforms, upzoning, &c.

The above comment saying corporate investors lobby for reducing supply isn't true though. It's individual old NIMBYs and small time developers who lobby for that. Big companies like BlackRock are passively investing because it's so easy when the local government already wants to help them by restricting supply, but they don't individually show up to city council meetings and lobby for this stuff.

You really can defeat them by showing up. No California YIMBY policy has lost someone an election yet.
FWIW, the maintainers have been exploring various extensibility solutions. For e.g., I remember seeing a PR to allow a WASM-based plugin system, though I think it was abandoned because of the tradeoffs it posed.
The density is required if you don't think that commuting for a hour by a slowly moving car is the best use of everyone's time, and building and maintaining a huge highway is the best use of your limited tax funds.

Density + public transportation save a lot, on both counts. You may not be a fan of Manhattan, but 1/10 of its density, aka low-rises, already make proper urban infrastructure sustainable.
They're usually also in U-boot in ROM. The trees in the kernel override the platform's one because the kernel is newer and knows better.

ACPI on x86 works the same way - it's in ROM but the OS doesn't necessarily use it blindly, it has plenty of quirks to interpret it with.
I get the skin surface sensation like I’ve brushed against something soft and delicate that isn’t my own intention, but it is my own body so I realize what’s happening processing the same moment. I don’t have a laugh response or the kind of abandon I remember in childhood being tickled. It’s like a shiver or goosebumps and a mental giggle when I realize what I did to me.
Is it a good brand? I've never heard of it before.
You don't have to be convicted to be punished. They knew that these charges wouldn't fly, but harassing someone, arresting them and forcing them to show up in court is still a massive burden on an individual and a drain of their money.

The mistake is assuming that the punishment begins upon conviction when going through the legal system is often punishment enough and a big chilling effect on free speech.
Got it, thanks for the input! To the best of my knowledge there are no published results showing this comparison in quantitative terms
Or just leave Meta after this talk.

I really hope Carmack decides to come back to reality from this metaverse vapourware Meta has trapped him in.

The real version of Idiocracy would be everyone back to tribal warfare. Which, I suppose, would bounce humanity back in the other direction.

My hope for that not happening is that we’ll end up genetically altering our babies en masse, which sounds…not great, but it’s probably better than the alternative.
A timeout is pretty much always an unknown outcome. Cassandra does have dedicated exceptions for failed writes (which should have a certain outcome of not applied) but this is much rarer in practice.

Cassandra does today inform you on timeout how many replicas have been successfully written to, if it was insufficient to reach the requested level of durability, which many years ago it did not. But this is no guarantee the write is durable, as this will represent a minority of nodes - and they may fail, or be partitioned from the remainder of the cluster. So the write remains in an unknown state until successfully read at QUORUM, much like a timeout during COMMIT for any database.
Yes, sound needs to be recorded with proper metadata, otherwise the sync process with the image is going to be pretty tedious. We could just record with a "dumb" audio recorder that doesn't write timecode and fps metadata and it would sync up by hand to any camera FPS (23.976, 24, 25, 29.97, etc). It's not just practical for any professional projects.

The funny thing with timecode, which is hh:mm:ss:ff, is that the frame count is done at 24 frames, even at 23.976. So 1 frame of 23.976 is longer in actual "real time" duration than 1 frame at 24 fps. This can get confusing when going from and to 24/23.976.

There are more sophisticated workflows where the audio is recorded at 48.048 kHz (0.1% faster sample rate) called audio pull-up (or pull-down). The technique is used when shooting, for example, a TV spot, with a film camera at 24 fps. Since the 24 fps picture will be played back at 23.976 at the edit, the audio will follow the same speed down because it will itself play at 48.000 kHz instead of 48.048 kHz. I'm not sure that many productions still shoots TV spots in film, though, contrary to fiction where film is still being used sometimes.
In all cases, the Docker daemon is running under Linux. The Mac and Windows versions are merely bundling up a Linux VM containing Docker with a frontend that's as transparent as possible, but still with Linux as a hard requirement.

Pretending that the Mac and Windows versions somehow aren't using Linux VMs behind the scenes is of no use to anyone. It's a convenience for users when they can get by with ignoring the VM layer, but a detriment when we see people start talking as though Docker for Mac is functionally different from a Linux VM running Docker, and start assuming that enhancements to running Linux VMs under macOS would be inapplicable to and incompatible with "Docker for Mac".
Tried it a year ago or so and liked it. Offers smart defaults.
Clearly this is the cheapest online and legal options. It would be odd and short-lived to include illegally shared books at $0, and a site that shows physical stores would also be odd, since if you are going to a local bookshop you are probably not price sensitive.

So for someone shopping online it a good objective, and may take away business from Amazon which is probably a good thing for competition. It is also useful in helping people find books at all, sometimes Amazon doesn't have everything, especially globally.
Ageless and scandal-proof: Chinese tech groups bank on virtual influencers
There is one more mechanism there - when the front tire rides over a nail it can can "make it stand" setting it in a position dangerous for a rear tire. That is a known issue and was brought to me by my father that was doing some work at nails factory. Their solution was to limit the maximum car speed to at most 20 km/h to give nails time to "lie down" before meeting the rear tire.

To make it more than anecdotal evidence one could try to reach statistics about nail punctured tires - if there will be much more rear punctured tires than the front ones, that would support the hypothesis.

Of course my father didn't listen and punctured his tire. The rear one.
For reference, I’m American but lived in Paris for awhile. I wouldn’t say The French Dispatch is indicative of American views of France, more a very specific, Brooklyn-based, literary industry one. Which is also what The New Yorker is. A movie like Amélie is probably more in line with the American fantasy version of France.
The entire legal system is designed to punish people from the moment of arrest through conviction. Just because a rational judge realized that the case was absurd does not make the hoops she had to go through any less arduous. For example officer writing you a bogus speeding ticket that you can successfully challenge in court still requires time and effort to challenge, moreso than the officer did issuing it and that's very frequently done to poorer individuals.

Which again, you ignore that we had (and in many places still have) an amount of people which simply did not have the same free speech rights that you say America was founded upon.
> there is always the possibility of having to debug errors from the template implementation because the authors didn’t choose precise enough constraints

That is indeed possible, but it's hard to see why that is a problem. Any problems would show up at compile time, and fixing errors flagged by the compiler is pretty routine programming work.
There's tons of land unused in the US. But I also agree with you. I haven't played with this one yet, but it looks very nice for automated hydroponic setups.

LOLWUT? Are you shitting me?

This[1] page does a decent job of going into the initialization procedures of DDR4, and why the various steps are needed. Really quite fascinating and complex, due to the high speed.

The essence is that the signals are so high-speed, ie each bit takes a very short time, that the physical distances between DIMM modules and DRAM modules on a DIMM start to matter and has to be compensated for so that all relevant signals arrive at the same time at a given DRAM module.

Only of the design goals of Swift is precisely not to be as low level as Rust, unless required to for high performance code, and had a few big names from C++ community involved in its initial versions.
Housing prices are mostly supply and demand driven, but it's the supply and demand of location, not of the building itself.

Next to that, the maximum price is largely defined by how much people can and are willing to borrow with a typical income for the location and the type of building.

And with location being in short supply, locations (and houses) go for maximum price. With rent going up, maximum price will come down, to keep total price the same.
It's not strictly required, but it is desired if you don't want to keep cutting into nature. Not to mention more efficient all-around. Car-dominant suburban sprawl is a terrible model in the long run for a variety of reasons.
What is "fine" is a values judgement. I would say that there's a continuum that goes from downloading an unapproved copy (worst) to buying the book at a local bookstore (best), and buying from Amazon instead sits somewhere in the middle. Somebody else might find the whole publishing industry gross, and decide the most moral choices are to either pirate the book or buy a secondhand copy.
If we're lucky, the market recalibrates on a more affordable level. Workers start seeing real wage increases. Speculation and stimulus gives way to real economic development.

If we're unlucky, the interest rates are not allowed to increase for fear of falling house prices.
