Probably because it's a bit of a difficult thing to explain to users in the first place. Instead, by providing just "primitives", they opened the doors to focused add-ons (like the one that isolates Facebook, effectively the first large-scale deployment that used it) without spending too much time on a feature that folks might have found difficult and might result in increased support issues. The status quo is that power-users can make it work, add-ons can use it if they wish, and the overwhelming majority of users can carry on happily ignoring its existence; not a terrible trade-off. But I agree that the management add-on could be better.

I believe Apple is doing something similar with their virtualization API - it's there, some folks can use it, but they don't want to surface it to the masses.
Yup - I had a similar experience [1].

> Just a side note: the idea that Irish people weren’t considered white is a myth (same with Italians and Jews). Irish people could go to white-only venues/places, could marry other white people, weren’t affected by segregation, etc in every instance in society where you were “checked for white”, Irish people passed.

It's a shorthand but it's not a myth. Yes, they weren't discriminated against as badly. No, they did not have the full access to and support of society which that term is shorthand for.

Drug problems are always symptoms of bigger problems. There's nothing wrong with drug use as long as it's properly regulated.

There are many harm reduction measures that are better than criminalization. If you don't want people using drugs on the sidewalk, give them a better place to do it. Countries like Denmark and Switzerland have had enormous success with government run heroin clinics. Supplying free, clean drugs in a safe environment reduces overdoses, prevents drug users from going into debt and almost completely eliminates drug related crime.

In general, the solution to problems like homelessness and drug addiction is to give people the support they need. Direct cash transfers are by far the most effective way of supporting people, but this is unpopular because the public doesn't trust the poor. People tend to think homeless people are irrational and will waste any money they are given on drugs, even though that's been proven false. The biggest challenge is combating prejudice and changing public opinion.
It's hard to form a good expectation on the liklihood of success, but the Arweave [1] project is trying to create a permaweb system built on top of a "Proof-of-Storage" cryptocurrency where you pay once and have permanent storage. I think something like this will eventually succeed. It's worth reading their whitepaper to decide for yourself if it is feasible.

> Of course, matching people well is hard

I thought OKCupid did a great job. The second person I had a conversation with ended up becoming my wife.

I really liked how OKCupid had a seemingly never-ending set of personality questions. You could answer none of them, or you could answer 100 of them, and the more you answered, the more confidence it had in its matching. You would even flag the importance of each question, so you can tell it if something is an absolute deal-breaker (like your desire to have kids or stay child-free), or if something is a mild preference, like hair color.

> (for example, if their entire model is based on superficial values like how well they can take a photo of themselves - it may not be good at actually matching people)

IMO, Tinder ruined online dating. AFAIK, it makes zero attempt at actually matching people based on any metrics other than location and age.

Actually, I take that back. Tinder didn't ruin online dating, shitty men that send unsolicited dick pics or go ape-shit when they get rejected did.

Came here to post this. It’s no wonder that people call the media fake news when they post this alarmist nonsense all the time — the way they abuse headlines has really earned them their reputation.

I miss boring news. CTV seems decent. Any other outlets someone would recommend?
I know this is not as elegant/clean as the ISC solution, but most servers should have some form of scripting capability like kea and dnsmasq. I can't talk about systemds or udhcpcds implementation, but dnsmasq can "solve" your problem, although clunky.

* You must first specify a dhcp optsfile that your script is able to modify.
* Create a hook either as script or lua and make it able to modify the optsfile.
* After successfully modifying the optsfile send a SIGHUP to the dnsmasq process and the optsfile will be reread.

Like I said this is not really feasible in larger networks (maybe it is I only use something like this for my cluster), but it kind of works and like I said there are many dhcp servers and many support scripting of some sort.

(edit) PS in the announcement it was said that security fixes will still be issued, but the code base is too old/large to modify safely. I doubt that the fork will add much to what the EOL code offers, but I can be wrong.
Steam on Linux work great too, if you don't want to give up your PC. All of the games in my library (that I've still got interest in) work well, if not flawlessly.
It hasn't, because you can still play 99.9% of games on a 1070, a 5-6 year old card that you can get used for $200 now.

Just because NVidia went bonkers with their flagship pricing during COVID isn't a reason to throw out the best gaming platform out with the bathwater.

> I could see being all in on future versions of Steam Deck.

Steam Deck is just a computer. You're still gaming on a PC.
I'd like to just point out that you start finger pointing when the cause is probably much more complex than hey they did it down there and has nothing to do with us civilized folks up here. You live here and slavery hasn't been a thing for 160 years and yet this is still the state of the country's prisons.
That sounds like a meaningless distinction if the patent covers software running in general purpose hardware.
Per the license you can incorporate the tool's code in to your work product, too, but only if you release your work product AGPL; your company (probably reasonably) won't let you, and might also (unreasonably) prohibit use.
It's just an example from the comment I replied to was using; I agree it's not a very feasible thing to do. But I used it to illustrate the difference in cost between that and pumped hydro using natural reservoirs. The point being here that you'd need a stupidly large amount of water towers to come close to the amount of energy you can store in a pumped hydro reservoir

Whether it's a water tower, a big crane, or whatever that holds the mass that you then use to drive a generator. You have to build it or use nature to have some natural height difference. Building infrastructure like that is expensive. So nature is preferable and way cheaper.

I come from a relatively flat part of the world; so that's not really an option there. Gravity based batteries are nice where they can be done cheaply. But otherwise probably not ideal.
Seems the cards in the comparison is 4090, 3080ti, 3080 and 6800XT.

Why is there no 3090ti in there, which should be the top of the line card from the previous "generation"? Current generations top should be compared with previous generations top rather than third-to-top, otherwise it seems a bit disingenuous.

Are there any better comparisons out there?
On the other hand China does seem to punish private companies if they leak data. The danger would be zero if they had not collected that info in the first place. So China does have a larger protection of privacy here than many western countries. Sure, that the state is exempt is more that fishy.

> societal security to justify the surveillance

So does the EU. It wants to scan all chat messages in the name of child security. As if that isn't about surveillance and large platforms actually had many cases of child abuse in the first place. Yes, people that demand such policies are extremists and they should not govern, but there is little any voter could change about that, voting out EU officials is as realistic as voting out the CCP. Probably won't happen.

Lin is right here. It is not a condemnation of China because people are not fighting against surveillance, western people don't do that either, just look at Twitter.

> uncover the key links in surveillance supply chains, and to come up with effective responses.

In my opinion these companies should face extreme pressure, people being disinterested in the topic don't look too far ahead. I wish upon them the worst bossware anyone can imagine because that will be the consequence.
That's pretty cool. I've hand rolled an og-image generator with Automattic/node-canvas for a static site (Docusaurus) at build time. Edge is cool, but doing it at build time probably makes more sense for static sites.

Looks like using Satori might have been easier to use then having to do all the canvas draw calls (which isn't all that bad either though).

Edit: Nevermind. Actually looks like this wouldn't be self hostable in a github action. vercel/og doesn't run in a node runtime?

* Certainly.
* But where there is no wisdom there is no goodness. And where there is no goodness there is no beauty. Nor is this only true of the matter which we were discussing, but of all others as well.

* And therefore, where there is no music, we shall find neither wisdom nor goodness, nor beauty.
* I dare say.
* And that which has no music is unpleasing to the ear. But the unpleasing is the disagreeable, and the disagreeable is the evil, and therefore in music there is the greatness of goodness, and beauty, and wisdom, and lastly, in all that knowledge which relates to the music and harmony of the soul, which we have escaped to the end of our argument, in that, I fancy, you would place justice.

About 4 years ago I was drinking a bit too much. I was 38 and had been drinking heavily and happily for about two decades. There wasn’t a problem per se but I knew I was overdoing it. My wife and I had our second son showing up soon and I knew the drinking was going to be hard to maintain with a new baby in the mix. I decided to use my critical/dev brain to take an honest look at all the arguments out there against drinking. I loved alcohol and never really allowed myself to take a hard look at all the real negative effects before. So I opened myself up to some resources. There are a ton out there of varying quality. I continued to drink regularly while reading these.

Some of the most helpful I found were:
Stop Drinking Sub-Reddit
https://www.reddit.com/r/stopdrinking/top/?t=all
I made myself read a lot of the top posts. It was real helpful reading real-world stories of lives improved by removing alcohol.

Allen Carr's Easyway to Control Alcohol
https://www.amazon.com/Allen-Carrs-Easyway-Control-Alcohol/d...
This book appears gimmicky and generic but it was very helpful in changing some of my thinking. It is not flawless but it does a great job of going through all your excuses for drinking and why they are all bullshit. I read it twice, print and audio.

This Naked Mind by Annie Grace
https://www.amazon.com/This-Naked-Mind-Discover-Happiness/dp...
A great follow up to the first book. A more modern perspective from a female author.

I had the advantage of a looming deadline with our new baby coming. This made it easier to pick a date to give not drinking a try. Our son turns 4 in two weeks. I haven't had a drink since he's been born. My life is much improved.

A caveat to these things is you have to actually want to stop drinking for any of this to work. It does not work if you do not open yourself up to the possibility. Finding your reasons is a personal journey you have to make yourself. These resources can help you find those reasons.
No idea, but interesting question.

There are only twelve million Uighurs on the planet, and the US murdered six million random Muslims as a response to a 9/11 planned and committed by Saudi nationals.

Also, there aren't millions of Uighurs in concentration camps in China. There were an enormous number of Uighurs rounded up, usually for dubious reasons, in a a ruthless Sinoization campaign meant to stop efforts (with terrorism and bombings) to create a breakaway republic. Notably, China nearly cloned the US's anti-Muslim anti-terrorism language in order to justify this dragnet. Since then, virtually everyone has been released and the program wound down. US nationalists will still be talking about it 50 years from now as an excuse for why we need to hurt Chinese people, as if the Uighur crackdown had the staying power of our indefinite prison in Guantanamo Bay.

Freight does better when it is slow and cheap per ton mile. They also tend to be long to save on labor costs.

Passenger rail is pretty much the direct opposite, requiring fast acceleration and speed. So the two do not mix well (freight trains will slow down passenger trains.)

The only country that operates both high speed rail and freight successfully, by China, literally built a whole separate new high speed network to reserve for passenger trains and to leave freight the freed up space on legacy lines.
You can bet your ass the solution will bear absolutely ZERO similarity to any of the jamstack nonsense going on right now, that's for sure... :-)

Because its outside the scope & role of the government?

> I really don't understand how this stuff is still not regulated anywhere

This is a common theme I see in alot of discussions about everything. Do not confuse regulation with enforcement. Any regulation that is not enforced is useless, or it is used selectively (a.k.a "corruption"). Adding more rules wont solve anything.

And plus, we have the rules. Match group, who basically own the entire western world online dating market, should have not been allowed to buy all their competitors in the first place. This is a failure of the regulating bodies to do anything and now the users end up paying the price.

If your argument is about legalization vs. decriminalization, then you should say so. You've been all over the comments arguing, but this is the first time I've seen you mention it.

In a group conversation, you can count on people remembering what you were talking about, but the structure of comments isn't like that. We can only expect people to know what's written in the parent comments of the tree. Remembering that can help us talk to each other instead of past each other.

Not OP, but I can speak about what this meant to me: Primarily facing my emotions, even learning how to feel emotions again, then learning how to understand and communicate them in a way where I stay true to myself, and live life on my own terms.

Before I started doing this work I approached everything logically. "I shouldn't feel this way, because x, y and z are objectively good." "If I present things this way, I'll get people to agree with me." "I don't want to do x, but it will make so-and-so happy."

It never worked for long, and alcohol has a nice way of suppressing those feelings, as well as the little negative voice in your head that tends to accompany those suppressed emotions.

Rather than trying to logic my way to acceptance and contentment, I've had to learn how to wade into my emotions and figure out productive ways to express what they're telling me.

It's work to improve the relationship you have with yourself; it's still a work in progress for me.
Ironically I have stopped using the word "when" in constructions like this because it confuses non-native English (esp. German) speakers who read it in the conditional rather than temporal sense.

Honestly if you don't intend on playing AAA games at 4K/+100fps with ray tracing you don't need this.

The Steam survey shows the GTX1060 is still the most popular card so even the most recent games need to perform adequately with that in mind.

Lamentably I think you are right. Although to be fair I'm using linux as my daily driver and it works great (PopOS X11 still...) Though I fear adding extra confusion to writing desktop linux apps isn't going to help things get better.

I would like to write some applications for linux when my work life ends, but there seems to be a dozen different ways to do it. A ton of choices to make I don't fully understand, but I really don't want to have to know the nuances of the windowing system to be able to write something that works well with KDE and Gnome, Qt, GTK and whatever else one needs to know about compositors... A lot of stuff is web based now and linux handles that great, but desktop apps still have a place.

I feel like sometimes being the "best" platform doesn't matter so much as being able to target most distros with less work would help the ecosystem a ton. Using Linux as my daily driver so hope springs eternal.
