I hate bringing this up, because that loss should never have happened. But I ensure all such data lives on the cloud as well as locally because there could be a catastrophic hardware failure, natural disaster, or other external cause of that same problem regardless of Microsoft’s obvious negligence.
Someone please thing about the gamblers! Investment comes with risk. I don't mean to come off as sounding heartless but house flippers are part of the reason we have a booming homeless population. Taking a cheap home, renovating it and banking the delta might get your some extra dosh in the pocket but it also makes homes more often out or reach for lower and middle income buyers.

So how exactly would Russia get away with it undetected? Looking on a map, they would have been deep into enemy territory undetected before and after. That strains credulity to say the least.

All we hear from our esteemed journalists is how incompetent Russia is, until they need us to believe they snuck past everyone in the middle of war time undetected.
I agree with this take 100 fucking percent.

I want to be able to consume and run code provided by other people on hardware/networks that I own.

In which case - Docker/Containers/K8s(or my preference, MicroK8s) are a fucking godsend compared to 10 years ago.

I host about 25 services, I have all the config in a single repo, and can rebuild the whole fucking thing in about 10 minutes.

Adding a new machine to take load is as easy as installing ubuntu server, adding microK8s, and running a SINGLE freaking line on the cli. Boom - done. I do this basically each time we get a new machine... the old one goes to live in the server farm.

All the backups? Easy, since the storage is my NAS, mounted in microK8s, and I can just run scheduled backups there for literally every new service, without any additional config as I add them.

It's incredible. I have done the whole "SSH into each machine and tediously configure it to run a specific application, configure my router, make sure the config files are in the right place, configure backups, worry about HDD lifespan, etc" bullshit for long enough to know that I don't EVER want to go back to that.

The people that keep talking shit about containers are still incredibly focused on the use-case of "I host my own blog" like that's all that self-hosting is. But it's not - I self host open source applications as a complete replacement for shitty, ad-driven, recurring subscription fee based SaaS companies.

Meal planning (mealie),

Calorie tracking (calorietracker),

Video streaming (jellyfin),

Google Docs/Notion/etc (bookstack/nextcloud),

Authentication (keycloak),

File sharing/storage (seafile),

Digital Library (calibre),

Home automation (openhab),

Asset tracking (snipeit),

todo lists (Taiga),

scheduling (cal)

etc...

Containers aren't there to help you host your blog. They're there to let me host your application. Configured quickly and simply.

If there's company making money through a recurring subscription based website... There is someone who has made a decent clone that I can self-host.

And these tools make that process much easier than it used to be.

Agri-food tech’s building block: narrating protein, agnostic of source in crisis
Yeah really doesn't add up - 2 ms to just return a code? What could it possibly be doing with so much time.
Only in terms of energy. Even then 1000 seems like a suspiciously large amount.

In terms of plastic use the reusable bags are much better. It doesn’t take too many reuses before a reusable bag is a net benefit. Compared to other energy uses the plastic bags are a tiny amount so I don’t worry too much about that.

I'm not fundamentally against ARM. But ARM in the VR world is Qualcomm, and they both didn't want to deal with us + their support for regular old Linux is (AFAIK) nonexistent.

Apart from that, x86 is IMO just easier to adopt. I wouldn't buy an ARM laptop right now (except for possibly a Macbook).

In a different tangent, I think the only way to get good ARM performance in a mobile format is to have custom-tailored silicon, like the Apple chips. Commercially available chips just don't compete with a i7-1265U or the Raptor Lake equiv.
I get what you're saying, and I actually like it. I myself have called Life a singular phenomena that describes a (very) complex 4D shape of which we humans are all just a part (and as a group are currently only about as impactful as a large asteroid!). But if you follow this to far you get some nasty results, mostly around a feeling of inevitability and hopelessness, which I honestly don't think has a rational basis. The world is strange and even one good idea, one chance, could turn things around for Life in general, and humans in particular. It certainly needs to be a big change, something like a "phase shift" in human affairs. We certainly cannot bring our traditional values into the future, which were predicated on living in a world that would push back against our ambitions. Nowadays, the ONLY thing restraining humans is humans, and yet self-restraint has never been so out-of-fashion.

Don't need to write _type_ tests (like you would in a dynamic language). Having strong typing doesn't magically do formal validation on your logic. Leaning heavily on types is good practice, but that doesn't eliminate most of the high value tests you'd have to write.

Researchers map environmental pressures of global production for all foods
Yeah, I've always been curious about this too. The article describes 3-year-old pigs roaming the forest, so that sounds very close to a wild lifestyle compared to a modern pig that spends its whole life in a small pen and is slaughtered at 6 months old.

I wonder is it just age that causes fur growth? Hunger? Not having 4 walls an siblings to rub against? Exposure to the elements?
Snapdragon chips have pretty good Linux support. And the GPU driver is in a good state with Freedreno for desktop use. So probably a decent chance of it being functional shortly.
I don’t know if Windows on ARM has a future, but, IMHO, almost anything that encourages more happenings in the ARM ecosystem is a benefit—the whole world has gone mobile, and its longer battery life takes the cake over its more powerful x86/amd64 counterparts.
I see the benefit of those heavier “reusable” bags as coming from the fact that they are less likely to blow away and get into the waterways. If you drop one it is more likely to be picked up and put in to the trash instead of ending up in a turtle’s breakfast.
There’s a narrative in some Western spaces of “we can probably survive a nuclear war against Russia quite intact”, a narrative which I find batshit insane crazy.

I see this in GP’s comment, he/she talks at length about how a nuclear war might look like without mentioning the subs even once, because if he/she had done so the whole argument would have fallen flat on its face.
Because one country you have a say in and the others you don't?

IMO I think it is still a new neurochemical environment, much like how the body is different after intense exercise for the next few days, as it recovers. It gets sore, weaker, etc. There is definitely a training & depletion effect for the brain.

32gb on an m2 is probably going to cost you around $3000. I don't think 32gb on m1 is even possible.
Will do! I've been using memtest since like 2006.
Exactly, this is priced very similarly to the Mac Mini with M1 (soon to be updated to use an M2) and can already run Linux fairly well.
FTA: With their ability to digitally animate fantastical fauna, videogames are the perfect medium for breaking with the stereotype and bringing academic insights to the larger public.

I agree.

Even ignoring that, there’s a relatively broad interest in movie bloopers, where people complain about such things as “2011 Chargers were replaced by the earlier models. You can easily tell it by the taillights” (https://www.carthrottle.com/post/alqlmmp/) or “Both Apatosaurs and Stegosaurs went extinct before the point of divergence of this alternate history” https://m.imdb.com/title/tt1979388/goofs/). I think that naturally extends to game bloopers, and this is one.
> I genuinely don't get this. Everyone older than 30 or so saw the writing on the wall... hey, this is 2006-2008 all over again.

On my iPhone Apple Music seems to be fine, but Music.app on desktop is hot garbage. I believe music.apple.com in a browser works better, but how... how can a website be better than a "native" app?
It's not a joke. Remember you are still on "Hacker News".

A lot of us love this stuff, irony acknowledged.
Yeah, they somehow manage to break the app more and more despite recent rewriting efforts(?), moving to more native views, etc.

I’d love to use and support a music streaming service that allows me to incorporate my own files in a good way, but there doesn’t seem to be any great solution. I’m close to just migrating to a file-based approach and just keeping a big local library of mp3s/flacs (and Spotify as a fallback for stuff I don’t own yet or want to check out temporarily).
Given https://www.phoronix.com/news/Linux-5.20-SoCs-8cx-Gen3-Arm, it should already work if you run something rolling release or similar that has reached 5.20. (Otherwise, waiting for 6.1 is probably simplest.)
I did not mention Arabic numerals at all in my comment; I think you have missed my point entirely. I was actually thinking of sequences of symbols like "lim(inf, (1 + 1/x)^x)" being a name for e. And all algebraic numbers can be expressed by a polynomial equation and a description of which root you are referring to.

Given that I literally wasn't even thinking about Arabic numerals, I was not describing a limitation of them. The limitation is with math. When talking about numbers you need a way to write down a specific number (Needs a finite representation). If it can be put into a computer, that finite representation comes from some countable set. There are uncountably many real numbers. That means we cannot given a computer understandable name to every real number.

You can give a name to every algebraic number or rational number. That is a key difference that is not tied in any way to Arabic numerals.
Even in 64 bit systems, some numbers are stored as 32 bit integers. And 32 bit systems can process 64 bit numbers, they are just slower at it.

It is a software and standardization problem, not hardware.
You just picked some random sentence from that article.

I can pick some other sentences from that article and give another picture:
"Most of the plastic that enters the oceans from land comes from rivers in Asia.1 More than 80% of it.

Only a small amount comes from rivers across Europe and North America. Together, these regions contribute just 5% of the global total. This would suggest that the world’s richest countries don’t contribute much to the problem of plastic pollution.

But, these numbers only look at the plastic that is emitted domestically. They don’t consider the fact that many countries export plastic waste overseas."

Overall I would say that article contradicts itself and makes no sense.

Besides this there's also the pre-installed AVS crapware from "reputable" companies that tries to take over your entire system and continuously pinging you with scam-like "you're in danger, let me in" messages.
Yes, for sure; however, the Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 and 12GB of RAM on the Quest Pro isn't that.

We're also fundamentally a Linux Desktop platform, which ARM is finnicky with. We wanted to give people an experience that was truly comparable to what they would expect out of a comparable premium (Linux) laptop.

This is sort of a naive dichotomy of radiation. Ionizing radiation is unique in that it can ionize particles, which is bad, but ionization isn't the only way you can affect matter that is bad.

If you put a bug under a magnifying glass on a sunny day you're exposing it to non-ionizing radiation. Ask the bug whether only ionizing radiation is harmful.

Here's non-ionizing radiation affecting metal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8i2OVqWo9s0

Does this mean all non-ionizing radiation is bad? That 5G vaccines cause covid antennas? Of course not. That's ridiculous. But it's also ridiculous to brush off all non-ionizing radiation as harmless.
I read the paper and I don't see how this solves anything that couldn't already be solved with basic public key cryptography. IMO this is just more self-aggrandizing cryptocurrency snake oil, dressed up in invented technobabble to make it sound sophisticated.
Sure - if you need all 32GB for development work, it is a great deal. But, with a processor slower than a midrange modern Intel laptop, good luck using it to its full extent without feeling quite slow. So slow you might almost prefer a 16GB M1 Mac mini with swap for the rest despite the VM.

Plus, if you read Microsoft documentation on Windows on ARM so far, Microsoft doesn't actually expect you to use an IDE on these machines - but rather run your code remotely on them. You'll be a lot happier with your IDE running on a more powerful machine. Of course, if you do that, the lack of a GPU on the M1 for a Windows on ARM VM becomes not really an issue.
>I figured it out. The JEDEC SPD spec calls SPD type 4 "SDRAM", referring to Single Data Rate SDRAM

Some of those costs are the pollution and energy used to produce and transport plastic alternatives. That is not capitalism, it is economics. The secondary affects can offset the benefit of the original intent.
> Who is "they" here?

The immortal Mesopotamian space lizards obviously.

I love the part of the game where we all pretend then that we didn't actually see what we saw and that the reality we saw wasn't real.

Like when everyone said that "no one ever said masks are ineffective", or "the vaccine will be the end of the pandemic " my personal favorite was "2 weeks to slow the grow", the only one better than that was "when we said Russia hacked the election we only ever meant that people in Russia also supported Donald Trump we never meant anything ridiculous by that".

Although who can forget the iconic "firey but mostly peaceful protests" that consumed large swathes of America.
Permaculture is soil- and insect-friendly and can be productive and resilient, but it requires more manual labor and setting up a permaculture system takes a lot of knowledge and I think it takes years before it is producing competitively, depending on the soil conditions.

If we ban synthetic fertilizers (and more importantly herbicides/pesticides) abruptly before having established organic methods at scale, that will most likely cause food insecurity like it did in Sri Lanka.

Slowly phasing them out to a level that is not killing us in the long run seems more sensible to me.

Unless the purpose of the game is educational, I don't think it's incumbent on them to educate their players about anything. Just like I don't expect everyone who sells something at the Renaissance Faire to use medieval furnaces for their blacksmithing or to eschew lathes for turning wood bowls. It's not their responsibility.

That is a good point. However, when I am working on my thesis or even a piece of code that resides on OneDrive folder, I usually pause sync for at least 24 hours. This is because OneDrive will often lock files or otherwise interrupt running/saving code so that it can do continuous sync, like frequently ramping the CPU usage up to 100%, send the fan on frenzy or cause other distractions. And a lot can go wrong in that 24 hours, or even 8 hours which is the lowest setting.
That explains the tusks, but AFAIK even very young wild hogs have proper feral fur, not the thin coat of bristles you get on a farm pig. I wonder if there isn't an environmental component there, not just age... or it might just be genetics from interbreeding with wild species.
That is a humorous distraction. We need to put waste plastic into a billion bins, the billion bins empty into fewer larger bins and landfills are the final bins. The landfill area required for this eventuality is tiny relative to the area of environment which we consume for many other things - even car parks alone consume far more of Earths environment than landfills. Airports too, and Mines, Roads... all themselves dwarfed by agriculture. Properly situated 'big bins' have far less impact on surrounding places than those things.
