> Not a ports experts but the difference between ports and Gentoo portage does not really seem that big, certainly nothing of FreeBSD itself makes it more suitable to working with ports than a Linux kernel.

As far as I know gentoo portage is based on freebsd's ports. Where Gentoo has different kernels (linux or freebsd) and an ever changing userland, FreeBSD has consistency they make a complete operating system they don't bolt stuff together like Linux distros do. The holistic approach of freebsd results in a more cohesive and considered environment linux doesn't have this.

The difference is not that one has the command pkg and the other portage but how the entire environment has been considered to work with ports.

> Linux definitely does scale up and down, maybe FreeBSD scales down a bit smaller than Linux

In my experience they both scale the same, it makes sense that they would both watch each other and implement any improvements they seen since they are both open source.

> I guess "native" ZFS is the closest it comes to a UVP

If you are looking for a killer feature that destroys linux you aren't going to find it they are both very similar, its like looking for a UVP for Fedora vs Gentoo vs Debian they all do pretty much the same thing but in different ways. I use Fedora on desktop and Debian on servers as they both seem to be well suited to those environments, I could just change one to work like the other but why bother? Same is true of FreeBSD.

Sustainability in Coding/Quantum/Entrepreneurship/Art/etc
Hi,

I know it's not the usual type of post around here, but me and my team will organize a TEDx* event at the Technical University of Vienna on 11th of December and we're so excited about it that we want to scream it to the world!

The event will contain a diverse set of speakers, coming from different domains of expertise and will explore Sustainability through different lenses.

We think Sustainability goes beyond just a passing buzzword and we want to educate ourselves on its long-term implications, while also raising awareness and opening broader discussions that are based on a multidisciplinary way of thinking.

For people around Vienna (Austria), the ticket sale has started a few days ago, so if you're interested, we'd really be happy to see you there!!

* - TEDx is an independently organized event

Nothing. I respond to a question posing why it might be a problem. It didn't say "in a 787" it was "in general" I suggest a class of problem which it might surface in. The wider question.

All aircraft have schedules of maintenance. Requirements to reboot a computer periodically isn't onerous. It's not onerous but the insane costs of recertification are. Fixing this problem to not require reboot would be very expensive. Not just the FAA process burdens but the wider costs. 787 battery problems probably wrecked the entire profit of the model for years.

The Max flight safety issue on another Boeing aircraft may mean its never profitable. The industry is wierd.
thats true, however the author explicitly stated that the collision point of earth and moon at 1.5 billion years was calculated by assuming the moons CURRENT rate of recession
Essentially changes in typical operation procedures at airlines broke previous assumptions about regular full aircraft power downs, which triggered both the 248 day bug and the current 51 day bug.

It used to be that an aircraft would get a full power down as often as daily, but as individual components got more reliable and external power easily available, it became common for aircraft to not be shut down fully between flight days.

I’m going to say something even more controversial, but true; that the obfuscated thing these two prior comments are really noting is a degradation that has been obscured in distracting color or design language changes. It’s akin to “shrinkflation” that is now even totally overshadowed by the real rise in prices they said wouldn’t happen, people are starting to notice things like “hey, why are there now far less features than 30 years ago, and why does it cost 10x as much?”

”New packaging, same great taste” the professional liars proclaim; as the box got emptier, the false bottom bigger, the air more voluminous, the filler lower quality. No, no. Worse things are in fact good for you. The party proclaimed it, so you are required to believe it. Or else.

Even more controversial is both the cause and the remedy, for which the overwhelming number of people, especially on a site like this, have absolutely no interest in facing; so I will refrain from expanding on that. It’s irrelevant anyways, because the consequences are as inevitable as they were clearly predicted and suppressed.

The abusive relationship that the western world in particular is currently in, remains largely furiously defended, like any other abusive relationship the abused have not yet faced reality about.

That results in continued comments one can also see in these threads, proclaiming essentially how “no, no, degraded features and lower information density against my will is actually a good thing”, which is no different than “I would not get beaten if I just made smarter decisions”.

He kicked out the 2nd, 3rd, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th and 13th largest contributors while himself being the 14th largest.

The first place contributor was the lead maintainer of MultiMC, the project which PolyMC is forked from, and has never been active in the PolyMC fork.

The fourth place contributor is a MultiMC contributor from 2016-2018 who has never been active in this fork.

The fifth place is the MultiMC founder who left in 2017 or so.

So the people he kicked out are the people actively working on the code.

Is there some Unix-ish tool to generate these TOTPs on a laptop? I don't like to keep the 2nd factor on a small mobile device that is easy to lose. So I ask about a laptop tool.

By Unix-ish I mean something that is small and does one thing well. Like pipe in a secret to it and it gives me a TOTP? Pipe in multiple secrets and it gives me multiple TOTPs? Then I don't have to remain beholden to a custom encryption format. I can encrypt my secrets with other Unix-ish tools, decrypt it, pipe it to this tool and get my TOTPs. Recommendations?
They wouldn't. If you have it in a private repository and you are the only one with access to it, you'll likely not run into this issue.

From other comments, this developers "private" code was found in 30k+ public repositories with public attribution which is what created this issue.

Presumably your private code is not also present or leaked to any public repositories.
The monospaced font here is just while typing a response in the input box, right? It doesn't show up like that in the posts. I don't think that warrants typing with two spaces, especially since it will display in a different, non-monospaced font.

This is such a disingenuous use of the word “investigation”.

They are “investigating” whether they should start a law suit. So this is not an investigation, it’s somewhere between “due diligence” and a PR stunt.

I very much disagree with the idea of a law suit that seeks to establish ML training as not being fair use. It is an utterly foolish thing for them to wish for.

on fedora its systemctl instead of service because they are all systemd up, other distros might use something other than systemd and a compatibility hook is entirely dependant on the distro deciding it cares about backwards compatibility which isn't the case for fedora or debian at least in comparison to freebsd you can still build work the old school way.
the other commenter is correct i was implying on George C. Parker selling the brooklyn bridge =) Also i picked this up in my circles, im sorry if it was not clear right away.

I'd hope so. There are a lot of cases where people end up missing with no traces left and random people such as YouTubers make a sport of it to search for lost vehicles underwater to assist search efforts, such as e.g. [1].

The problem is that at the moment pretty much the only technology available to map ocean floors at scale is sonar, which gets more imprecise with increasing depth. For individual SAR ops, robotic AUVs can be used such as in the search for the MH370 wreck, but as that effort has shown that doesn't scale well unless you can really narrow down the potential submergence site as was done with AF447.

At the core, the enemy is simple physics - the deeper the body of water, the less light penetrates down to the sea floor, and anything RF-based is out of the game as well.

That `ultra-rare content`, eMule is mess if you need collection of files, ofc you can share ZIP but they get somehow repackaged too often. Torrents nicely group the stuff - it is kind of album.

Well, there's a concept of a _weak_ reference. I don't know whether it exists in Rust but I can't imaigne a modern reference counting system without support for it.

A weak reference does not prevent the object from being deallocated, but the system guarantees that when the object is deallocated, all weak references to it will be nullified.

This is what makes deallocating objects in a refcounting system potentially arbitrarily expensive.
I'm the worst. I use tabs, but then I add spaces when one line of code is broken into more than one line on the screen. e.g. I like the second line of function parameters to line up directly under the first, regardless of how long the function name is.

> Communication of sentiment online is very prone to errors like that

This is exactly my point: given that online communication is low bandwidth, why are you attempting humour with someone new, who is therefore very unlikely to get it? (And, given Drew's track record, I find it extremely unlikely that he is just trying to be funny, but that's a different matter.)

Also, your point about not wanting to spend more time on a discussion than is necessary, you can simply... not. Say not interested, post a link to a FAQ that covers your stance, and simply don't engage. You don't need to be offensive. You don't need to be worried about people dragging the matter. It's just a discussion.
Why do you say that? Almost every paragraph contains numerous references to either industry reports, sales numbers and market shares, various company projections past and present, relevant global events, laws passed or government statements, market performance and whatnot.

They aren't enumerated and listed at the end sure, but they're there.
I learned to type with two spaces after a period myself, and resisted switching to one space after a period for several years after it was no longer required, but at his point I switched to one space at least fifteen years ago now, maybe twenty. It's definitely possible to switch.
Documentation.

Everything is in one place, and it is maintained. In contrast, Linux requires you to go look up documentation in a lot of different places, and it is highly dependent on distribution what to do in a given situation.

One reason for this is that FreeBSD maintains not only a kernel, but also a userland. This means a change in the kernel can immediately be followed by appropriate changes in the userland and vice versa.
Well, after reading that article, and particularly the offensive title...

Projectbook – a free collection of 100 project ideas for learning
I've been hoarding ideas for what would make good learning projects when exploring new languages, frameworks, and libraries for years. So I decided to flesh those ideas out, create some mock-ups, and share them with the public. I originally just had ~20 projects, but as I kept working on it, more ideas kept coming up and it ended up coming to 109 ideas so far. Hope they offer some inspiration or guidance for those trying to learn but not sure what to build.

Projectbook is free and open source. Contributions are welcome. And I'll keep adding to it as I come across ideas, resources, and implementations.

Ok, but let's not fool ourselves that this is to save the mains electric grid from the power used to charge these things. This is for convenience, not environmentalism.

The amount of power used by headphones is tiny. Which is lucky, because the amount of power that a small inefficient solar cell like that can collect in artificial lighting is tiny as well. For reference, my Bose noise-cancelling headphones use something on the order of a tenth of a Watt. My microwave oven uses 5W just to keep the clock flashing "--:--".

That’s right. The radius is set by the force

Just as a reference regarding how br0wsers treat white-space:

> In the case of HTML, whitespace is largely ignored — whitespace in between words is treated as a single character, and whitespace at the start and end of elements and outside elements is ignored. Take the following minimal example:

https://www.vehicle-certification-agency.gov.uk/fuel-consump...

>The external noise emitted by passenger cars has been controlled since 1929 when the Motor Cars (Excessive Noise) regulations were introduced. New cars are now required to meet Europe-wide noise limits. These have been progressively reduced from 82 decibels (dB (A)) in 1978 to the current limit of 72 dB (A) established in 2016.
Most AI projects being impossible sounds better to me than license violations.
Anyone on GitHub can give a grey checkmark approval. It's basically just a thumbs up. The green checkmark approvals are the ones given by people who at time of approving had project approval permission and only these green checkmark approvals have any mechanical effect.

Additionally, everyone who has ever contributed to the project gets a "Contributor" tag on their profile (current recognised contributors with permissions get a "Member" tag). You can see the trolling PR authors and approvers lack those.

So no, the trolls, including those giving the grey checkmark approvals, are not the former maintainers.

iOS's security makes a self-hosted/non-third party backup/sync super difficult IIRC. (Unless you use Apple's product) I think unless the app has it built in, it's not easily doable. Android can use syncthing, but even Google is making that more and more difficult with each release.

Is there a standard app developers can use to securely sync/backup to for self-hosters? Is there a 'nice' UX/flow to connect apps to s3-style storage (enabling folks to use AWS/DO/Backblaze/whatever?) or would that be too raw?
That's what I use as well. Nice apps, fair pricing (One-time payment) and no data collection.
