Right on.

It would be safe to assume a business with 30 employees would bring nearly 30 cars into the street and a coffee shop could increase foot traffic.

These things aren't necessarily true, but those assumptions aren't necessarily unreasonable. I think this is where things break down.

Out my way, when zoning does allow home-based business, restrictions are mainly about yard/accessory building usage, customer traffic/parking, and number of non-resident employees(I assume because of parking).

I see it as an honest attempt to prevent nuisance activity while allowing some flexibility but it also seems lazy and too restrictive. My hypothetical garage based machine shop could be non-conforming and be one complaint away from being shut down no matter how unobtrusive it is.
Overall I believe his language has gotten better. Yes it's still a bit abrasive but he's also not directly calling people themselves an idiot, which is a big improvement.

Reading through the whole PR comment, you see that this is a repeating pattern in the printk system:

> And guys, I want to make it really clear how disappointed I am with
> the printk tree lately. There seems to be some kind of hardline
> religious fervor having taken over to make these kinds of "this is how
> it has to be done, screw any sanity or common sense".

As an end user who recently used printk with PREEMPT_RT to debug a driver, I appreciate Torvald's insistence here.

> Even if he didn't like the patch, calling it "unintelligent" and "idiotic" doesn't accomplish anything.

Perhaps not, or perhaps it's an effective way to snap people out of a "religious fervor". As a developer I'd be upset at having my code called "idiotic", but would generally prefer it over someone thinking the code is idiotic but not saying it and getting stonewalled or hiding behind corporate doublespeak.
Hey I can related, my stock options have a similar value, but we have to think that is temporary the market goes up and down with time.
Also I recommend you looking into Stoic philosophy it helps a lot on these times.

They killed it at about the time they started working on AMD64 internally with AMD. Dave Cutler himself gave feedback on the pre silicon design; it was basically co designed with Microsoft. They kept PowerPC in public products until they had another way out. And to this day PowerPC support still exists internally in the NT kernel.

They also literally were shipping an NT derived kernel for Xbox 360 into the 2010s.
Set it up once. Snapshot an image (called an AMI on AWS, but applies on all cloud services). Use the image to make new identical instances.

I don't understand the article:

Subtitle:

An IT outage hit the airline's check-in and boarding systems \*last month\*

First sentence:

Aer Lingus is seeking compensation after an outage to its IT systems led the airline to cancel more than 60 flights \*last night\*.

Which is it? Are there two separate incidents?

Then later:

The flight cancellations occurred on September 10
This quote hits hard

Coders who contribute to it, she said, should feel proud enough to declare, “Everyone uses the software, it’s in everything, and I wrote it!” It’s striking how few people know Mills’s name, given how many know the pseudonym of whoever created Bitcoin."

I never heard of Mill before, and am just glad to have read and known this critical man and technology to internet infrastructure.

I was surprised to hear that "single-room occupancy" is largely restricted in most residential areas that are meant for single-family dwellings.

What is the difference between "an SRO renter" and "a roommate"? If you share a kitchen and bathroom, aren't you really just roommates? That's how I've always described the other people living in my dwelling when we each have our own bedrooms but share the other areas of the house.

Even in single-family-zoned areas, it's common for two or more unrelated people to rent a property together as roommates, so what's the difference if one of them happens to own the building?
You are incorrect. Opiates slow your respiration and you stop breathing. You are probably thinking of alcohol deaths.
> Russia probably has many thousands of rockets with which they can attack Ukraine's territory, right?

Russia has already used much of their cruise missile stockpiles, or at least the amounts they're willing to use while still reserving some in case of an invasion of Russia by some other state. Further, they're likely limited in how many they can produce because many of them used western components. While they certainly stockpiled some components, how many they have stockpiled is an open question.

> How can the Ukraine hold on to any territory in this situation?

Cruise missiles don't help you hold on to territory. They are used for strategic targets.

> Can't Russia just level any area held by Ukrainian forces with rockets?

If you're referring to unguided rockets, i.e. so-called rocket artillery, those have relatively poor accuracy and don't get you much better than regular artillery barrages. They've also used many of those earlier in the war and Ukraine has captured some as well.
As I said, mastodon.technology announced shutdown in advance, they haven't yet shut down. So people can discuss future plans there, they don't have to move to do it.

I agree it is difficult in the situation you describe, which is not mastodon.technology's situation.
If people are confused about why the instrument is in Chile while the funding comes from elsewhere: It's because the high deserts of Chile have some of the best atmospheric conditions in the world for astronomy-- low cloud cover and rain, high altitude, low light polution, and very laminar flow due to the consistent temperatures the air experiences traveling over the ocean.

Mauna Kea in Hawaii is another such golden site (with somewhat better median seeing than the site in Chili), but it's fallen out of favor over pressures to return control of the site to indigenous populations.

I'm using rarbg as my main source which has magnet links that qBittorrent detects on click. I use mpv with Anime4k for animated content or an Nvidia Image Scaling glsl filter which is a decent upscaler/sharpener. I also use SVP for frame interpolation with an RTX 3080 which supports optical flow, and I assume it'll be even better in the RTX 40 series given their DLSS 3's frame interpolation exclusivity. It all looks incredible on my LG OLED TV/monitorm with 4k HDR 10 bit support.

Imagine doing all this on Netflix, it's simply not possible unless you have the physical media files, and for that reason, even if I had Netflix, I'd still pirate.

Curious to hear your stack. I assume something with Plex, Sonarr, Radarr, etc? I like looking for files manually so I haven't set those up since I'm not sure how to precisely select for the file with specific 4k/HDR support.
Everyone at my work works that way. If the order isn't obvious or it's not easy to write in isolation, you just split it into 2 reviews/patches after the fact.
if you send a big change for review, the reviewer will tell you to split it. usually very easy to split by directory

Get a hobby or 3.
I am 2 to 3 years (or one TTJaSI moment) from retiring.
I have been an system admin, programmer, accountant, manager of these roles), teacher teacher of them too. I made an early choice to do SW over HW.

Now repairing things and making things fascinates me. I got involved with volunteer repairing groups and been salvaging old electronics for reuse.
I want to resurrect my old reading habit (now 2 or 3 books a year, back then 100+. I have a list.
There are TV series to watch old and new.
I have done Karate in the past. I want to restart that too. Well maybe Tai-Chi.
With out this list I would fear retirement with it if the budget would allow it
I would start now.
What happens is you work somewhere that has stacked diffs and suddenly you learn how to shape your diffs to make them easy to review. Thinking of how folks will review your code in chunks while writing it makes it cleaner. Having small but easy to read diffs makes reviews faster and helps junior devs learn how to review.

Sometimes this doesn’t happen in which case you end up need to split your commit at the end. This is where git utterly fails. You end up needing git split and git absorb to make this productive.

Git split let’s you select which chunks in a commit should belong to it and then splits that into a commit and then you do it again and again until you have lots of commits. You’ll still need to probably test each one but the majority of the work is done

Git absorb takes changes on the top of your stack and magically finds which commit in your stack the each chunk should belong to and amends it to the right commit

You also need git branchless https://github.com/arxanas/git-branchless as it lets you move up and down the stack without needing to remember so much git arcana.

Sadly the high speeds required for many things that people now use USB for make simple connectors or wires infeasible inside a compact machine. Can't push gigabits over anything cheap and compact.
I'm guessing the choice made by Google went like:

Option 1) Hire more staff to do a proper monitoring job on a per-video or per-channel basis.
Option 2) Just demonetize every small youtuber who talks about the Ukraine war right now, no matter the guidelines.

1) costs money.
2) some mild reputation impact for us, but who cares about the livelihood of innocent bystanders who trusted our platform and actually respected our guidelines.
Check out graphite. Been LOVING it. Team is awesome and product is evolving fast.
Also after the X230, the next few generations of intel CPUs that thinkpads used really focused on low power over performance. So because of that it performs like much younger laptops.
This sounds really interesting and is a problem we were trying to solve just this week with Vercel!

However, I am having a hard time following what it's actually doing under the hood. Aside from a single video, might you be willing to share some more details on the product page about how it works? I can't tell what it's doing, and I'm not inclined to randomly sign up for something without even having a high-level understanding...

Like when I push to Github, I understand that Vercel pulls the repo and does a yarn install and yarn build or whatever -- the same buildchain I use locally, just on their servers. Same with CircleCI.

Is that also what Reflame is doing? If so, what's it doing differently that makes it faster? If not, how does it deal with node_modules installation and are there are any caveats there, like how does it deal with resolutions, lockfiles, private repos, etc.?

Or am I completely misunderstanding...? Is this some sort of content diffing engine / hot reloader instead of a faster build pipeline? I'm not really sure I'm following, sorry :(

Just trying to understand what your product actually is and how it works :)

Cool, thx for the info. Best of luck with your venture! I'm sure being a technical person will come in extremely handy over and over again.
Sorry but this is just your opinion. I Listen to tons of very technical podcasts and it works great. If you are interested in technology, check out the omega tau podcast for example.
When I actually do a typing test of speed and accuracy, the only keyboards I do badly on are small keyboards for <12" devices, and long travel keyboards (As in desktop mechanical keyboards). I've been hearing about how essential long travel is for so long, I've owned an old Thinkpad, I've owned a new Thinkpad, and I'm not sure what it is about travel that makes a better keyboard if it doesn't decrease errors or increase speed. In fact since it takes longer to bottom out and register an input, one could make an argument high travel was a downside, but I don't see this reflected in the measurements I've taken of myself.

Losing 2 discrete ram slots sucks, but honestly the lack of expandability is far more of a downside than the lack of reparability. I always save a few bucks by buying memory aftermarket where I can, so for me a computer with discrete ram slots is just a cheaper computer. The swap to USB-C was fantastic, it made chargers which previously cost more than a hundred dollars a commodity and lowered prices and improved reusability, I've saved LOTS of money off that standardisation.

I think the most infuriating modern trend to me is actually is soldering the SSD thus leaving a computers data hostage to a failure elsewhere in the computer. A computers data and the rest of the computer should be separable. Thankfully it doesn't seem Lenovo is soldering the SSD yet.
Two previous agreements were accepted by the EU but then rejected by the EU's highest courts when the organisation behind the linked article sued for breach of data protection regulations.

Right now there is no agreement and the world hasn't ended, so certainly no obligation to accept it.
Cut my teeth on the Amiga as well. Still have the Amiga Hardware Reference Manual in my bookshelf. Can't throw it out now? I was around 11-12 years old when I started to program on it. Certainly didn't understand some parts, in particular I remember the blitter's truth table [0] was confusing to me at the time. But it was a pang of nostalgia when I realized the new AVX-512 VPTERNLOGx [1] instructions uses the exact same table as the Amiga's blitter. Must be a perfect fit for Amiga emulators :)

Create Your Own Compiler (Interactive Tutorial)
Easier said than done. This style of doing things is very common in large corporate environments such as financial services. The first time anybody works at a place like this they are shocked by all the IT red tape, but it's an interesting (and frustrating) rite of passage. It takes maturity and experience to understand that there is always a reason for "stupid" complications.
A couple of other underappreciated tools I've found in writing stuff are things that help with writers' block and determining what would happen. In my case, the Mythic Game Master Emulator[0] and the Adventure Crafter[1] from Word Mill Games have been quite helpful last NaNoWriMo. They may have been designed for roleplaying games but man do they help with a story in a pinch, not to mention the billion and a half tables of random things on DriveThruRPG.

I'm sorry to hear that you're having such a bad time at the casino.
I had an epiphany two years ago when GDPR came into effect. USA Today had this fancy page, but to comply with the new law they created an eu.* subdomain where they basically just showed articles. Text and images and very basic css, not even a fancy navigation. It was blazingly fast, just doing normal complete reloads between pages. I bet it was even cheap to make. So I realized, actually most of these things like SPAs are not truly needed, not even AMP was needed, they are just a bandaid on the complexity we add ourselves, and the kicker is, the users for the most part don't care about any of that. They just want to consume your content.

If your heart is still in it, I'd try to learn a skill that will be relevant forever. Something that would be a part of a university curriculum, not a framework. As others have pointed out, other areas of the industry are not necessarily better. An anegdote from a colleague there: he was maintaining a simple PHP backend where people bought stuff the company was selling. Another team built a replacement for this, real engineers, microservices, elasticsearch, containers, kubernetes, took forever. They switched it on and a week later noticed they are having less sales. They switched back to their legacy backend and everything was fine again.

edit: also I interviewed a bit last year and it was mostly that you'd think people are making space shuttles. You get asked all these technical questions, about JS and so, and then when I asked about, hey what do you actually do as a developer, what are your daily tasks. And the answers are, well we had to recently make our gallery page responsive. Sad.
Yup - has been flawless for years but feel like recently there have been more and more issue.
Downloading "Linux ISOs" is one thing you definitely don't need massive peak speeds for.
Idk, the Thinkpad design itself gets in the way of longevity IME: the extra touchpad buttons collect dust much faster than Apple-style bodies without unnecessary apertures and then start to hang, not to mention they're smaller and much worse than both XPS let alone Apple ones.

That page seems to be the only piece on the internet that contains this claim.

If I had a dime for every "true anecdote" told by a thought leader or a consultant, I wouldn't need a 401k.
That’s probably the only amount of copying that might be okay. Anything more than that and you have n places of code living independently of each other, making refactoring/bugfixing impossible.
Any video rental shop still in business today must have an excellent collection, otherwise they'd have gone the way of Blockbuster 15 years ago (they had a truly abysmal selection towards the end, as you describe. But in the glory days of VHS rental, independent rental shops often had amazing collections.)
I guess you mean this patent? https://patents.google.com/patent/US20070143326

Looks like your standard software patent of an abstract idea so per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_patents_under_United_... it is probably invalid. Also Oracle has issued a statement https://www.gordoni.com/software-patents/statements/oracle.s... in the 1990's saying that they oppose software patents, and besides the Android case with Google they seem to mainly be invalidating patents rather than suing others. So I would say the risk is minimal. But IANAL and to each their own.

Which individuals are those? Can you name them?

Re “the Ukrainian minister who made those lies up,” I’d also like a name for that. Russian atrocities have been reported broadly across many outlets, and even Russian media is clamoring that it’s not brutal enough.
Right, correcting for survivorship bias is very important. If an object lasts one year, its expected life isn't now $average_use_life - 1; that's too low an estimate.

The problem with the "half life" rule is that it corrects for this in the dumbest possible way, not only providing an inaccurate estimate for most of the object's life, but even getting the first derivative wrong for most objects. Usually, lasting longer does not make the expected remaining years of service go up, but the rule implies it does!

Take people for example. At birth, a woman in the United States has a life expectancy of 81. If she makes it to 60, she can now expect to make it to ... 85. Not a big change! Every year she lived (even her first), her remaining life expectancy went down, not up. See this chart I made comparing the life expectancy of people versus a theoretical "half-lifer": https://0x0.st/otZ_.png

This is more of a post-sales item. A pivotal part of a renewal is going to be how successful implementation is - and that success is largely dependent not just on the sponsor of the project but on the team that supports them. Those folks are often the ones who don’t get the trinkets. Something like a nice jacket or even a pair of socks can go a long way to building positive sentiment there.
