Probably because it'd be excruciatingly difficult, like I said.

I guess it matters what you think life is for. I don't think I get another go at life on this planet, so I figure I might as well experience as much of it as I can, even if it's extremely limited and painful.

We've recently had another bin added for compost. Now it's Recycle, Compost, Garbage.

This upset me so much as it is very clear that there is no mature recycling industry and it's getting worse.

A mature recycling industry could just take "rubbish" as a single output, sort it efficiently and get on with things. Get money for taking your rubbish. Get money for selling recycled output.

Everyone has experienced the "outsource it to the masses so we don't have to cover the expense of doing it".

What happened to "efficiency of expertise" and "economies of scale" ?

But this is predicated on a non falsifiable claim that we could have built on these technologies. That they weren't extended to better things just a easily hints at them being technological dead ends.

Consider the massive costs that went into many old structures. Often you could measure them in lives lost during construction.

In the case of asbestos and leaded paint, lives and damage done by having used them.

Now, I do believe we should have people study the past. I still like reading on old programming techniques. But progress is not necessarily held back by not building on what came before.
Exactly this happened to both me and my wife when we caught covid. We were offset by about 4 days, so we got to see each other's decline very clearly.

We were both pretty freaked out by not being able to think properly, but after a few weeks we both returned to normal. I strongly suggest trying to worry and think about it as little as possible. It's very very likely that you will return to normal naturally, and worrying will make it worse.

This is less certain, but I've also seen brief decline in coworkers who get covid too. They get really slow for a couple weeks, but then return to normal. I think a temporary loss of 15 IQ points is pretty normal for covid.
Hmm, yeah I saw that one. Still don't think the motivation is super strong

I’d also be interested to know the answer!

I said “probably” because the vast majority of deployments I’ve done over the past decade have been containerized, but I have no trouble believing that my experience isn’t indicative of the average.
That’s right. I forgot a third (failed) processor. Thanks.
German here. It feels like our politicans are just selling our future for "access to markets". Gas pipelines, this terminal, strategic companies, IP and knowhow. Everything for access to markets.

Fine as long as these deals are not made with people who never hold their promises.

> Candidates often pad their resumes with skills they don't have. They'll pad their salary history. They'll hide things like stretches in jail. They'll list degrees they don't have. All to get a higher salary. The employer often doesn't realize for months that the employee wasn't as represented, and way overpaid. It goes both ways.

I'll explain why I disagree with you and downvoted you (since you are making an argument in bad faith).

1. Padding a resume is sometimes necessary to bypass automated systems. If the choice is between slight embellishment and never getting an offer, then I believe it is morally justifiable to pad the resume just enough to conform to requirements. It's really an open secret - recruiters will openly tell you to do this.

Also, to go further on this, job requirements are very often written by less technical people (HR) who will make mistakes in the number of required years in tech, or have ridiculous requirements that would limit the candidate pool to maybe...10 people on this entire planet.

2. Padding the salary history is almost impossible and easily verifiable through pay stubs. I very much doubt this happens often enough at desirable jobs, especially where people's reputation is on the line.

3. They'll hide things like stretches in jail - Again, almost impossible to hide, considering court records are public record. Even you or I could check this and not proceed with offering them a job. If the company doesn't do this diligence - that's on them, they certainly have the resources to do so.

> The employer often doesn't realize for months that the employee wasn't as represented, and way overpaid.

What about cases where the employee ends up being better than expected and brings way more value to the company than the originally agreed upon offer? How quickly is that reconciled? It goes both ways, after all.

> It goes both ways.

While it does go both ways, it's like saying a pedestrian is also causing damage to the car during a collision. The amount of resources a company/corp has is insurmountably higher than any individual could hope to achieve (barring billionaires). This is why we have multitude of protections for employees (that corporations are continuously trying to circumvent)

> Anecdotally, I know employees with million dollar salaries. Is it credible that if corporations really had all this power, they'd be paid that much?

The mere fact that they are able to pay a million dollar salary to a single employee signifies one of the following:

1. The employee is indeed a genius who brings this amount of money in or more, or contributes to the company growth in a way to justify this.

2. The company enjoys something like monopoly presence on the market and can afford to overpay for truly mediocre employees. If this is the case, then it's hard to feel sorry for the company.
What sort of compatibility issues exist with pyenv and poetry? Curious as I've never mixed the two...
Agreed. I feel like I live in crazy land, when there's so much focus on banning plastic straws and bags. Then, only to replace them with paper straws coated with (likely) some horrific chemical that still fall apart or 'reusable' shopping bags that take 50x the amount of plastic/energy to manufacture and then take extra energy to clean.

People could do far more to 'save the planet' by keeping their house at 65F in the Winter and 78F in the Summer, but that doesn't have the same virtuous feel as campaigning to ban 'evil' single-use plastics. Nobody will see you shiver/sweat in your house, so there's nothing to brag about.
I think I'm coming to your view of it. Man in the middle is hard, and some ways to deal with that over the internet don't apply in this case. Physics is certainly one approach to try to deal with the man in the middle; I'm less sure it's the only one. But maybe.

Simultaneous transmission of a (previously shared) large key/token is an interesting thought. But a middle man's delay wouldn't prevent it from getting a timing matchup.

Mirroring/replying so fast that no device any distance away could play the man in the middle part seems best. In which case physics wins as you say. If this is a new thought (not likely?) it might be worth a patent. I have suggested timing re internet authentication, long ago; I'm sure many others have had the same thought or have implemented it. Timing has certainly been used to help pin down hacker and server locations.

Identifying the device physically by sight seems entirely unnecessary and risky to me.

Another approach might be to send messages on a few vectors, ultrasound, infrared, sound and wifi - hoping an interceptor wouldn't discover all the vectors used, but I'm not crazy about that. Getting the man out of the middle for sure is a tough problem.

My problem with the QR code is telescopes and the speed of light; since you can't rely on the phone you think you're communicating with not to be the middle man. Not sure I've said this clearly.
It's really about the pinnacle of uninformed virtue signaling that does more harm than good. But it's okay because you got to say you were wonderful for being willing to sacrifice so much, and call anybody who disagreed or tried to have a rational discussion about the actual numbers an anti-The Science™ bootlicker for big plastic bag.
The practice, and the woodland used for it, is called pannage. Somebody below pointed out that it's still done in the New Forest in England.

You used to have the right to fatten your pigs by letting them go root around in the forest during the late summer/early autumn. Pigs can eat acorns and beechmast just fine without processing; and in the late fall they get brought in and slaughtered. This also keeps underbrush down, fertilizes the forest floor, and is less smelly than keeping the pigs confined. Nicer for the pigs, too.

There are lots of places around New England called "hog island", which was usually the place the farmer would row the pigs out to-uninhabited, and filled with oaks and beeches. Pigs are unwilling to swim too far from shore, keeping them on the island (and away from crops!) until bacon time.

(Here is an article touching on the practice of pannage, and how it was related to the first indian wars in New England, as well as the Hog Island that I grew up near!)

Recycling plastic is a greenwashing con that is designed to deflect from citizens demanding a reduction in the use of plastics.

At this point, there is pretty much only one material that is actually recycled, because it is easy and profitable to do so: aluminum. We should eb enouraging manufacturers to adopt either aluminum or cardboard for all their packaging (the latter is not recyclable in practice, but at least is sequesters carbon). By encourage, I mean ban plastic packaging outright or impose draconian taxes on it.
Datalog https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datalog , it’s a prolog “subset” and is a lot like SQL in the “query by way of a serious of desired parameters reducing the result set” and also not at all handcuffed to the relational paradigm… so its basically relevant as a query language anywhere you have data… relational db, graph db, document db. Datalog doesn’t care.

For anyone with a python background, you can see a good example of (and experiment with) using Datalog style “logic programming” to query existing SQL databases, by checking out the pyDatalog package https://sites.google.com/site/pydatalog/ … keep in mind the level of abstraction in this library, it’s a great place to get familiar with what you could get from Datalog, but working with a database that natively supported Datalog, and had a Datalog query compiler/optimiser would be even more powerful.

Skillset gap is not what determines price. Supply and demand ratios do, which does not necessarily correlate with skillset gap.

For example, I might be able to be an executive assistant, but I imagine the quality of life of an executive assistant is worse than what I do now, so I would want even more money to be an executive assistant.
I agree that other tools may be more user friendly, but if users are blindly copying and not really understanding what commands do then that is partly on them and lack of documentation. Arch Wiki provides a ton of options to copy a disk image and so it is one place that does show other options.
I like the acknowledgement that we don't know what's on the other side, but it is not an important part of my belief system.

I don't think accepting our own demise, and believing that it is a final ending, means you're in a death cult. I want to live an exciting life, enjoy what earth has to offer, and be a part of society and make some kind of positive contribution, but I accept that my time is limited, and in my belief system death is truly the end of me. Making peace with this is not easy, but it is an important part of living for me.

I do not mean do demean anyone else's beliefs. I wouldn't try to have this conversation in church, and it is socially risky where I am to discuss this kind of belief. I think I was looking for kindred spirits, or at least understanding.

At least with RISC-V you can always synthesize the core yourself in an fpga. It's vastly easier than it used to be and cheap fpga boards are becoming quite powerful. Something like the upduino board has a low barrier to entry. I'm particularly excited by the artix-7 line which also has open source toolchain support, though i haven't tried it myself yet.

Putting it in an fpga isn't as efficient as using the same area of silicon to make an asic, but for alot of applications it's totally fine. Plus you can actually hack on the architecture to suit your needs. An open and adaptable computing fabric that can be synthesized on demand sounds pretty disruptive to me.
Too many services with too much mediocre content. I liked some TV+ content but when it’s just me using a service in a family of four, it’s the first to go. If I’m in the mood to watch “something” I can find something to fill that need.

Maybe the pandemic wore me out or maybe it’s age related (40’s) but it feels like everything has been done and once something new is successful-ish they just beat it to death. So if I want a recent comedy or action movie it doesn’t matter much what a streaming service offers, they will have something that fits the bill.
Linus "Tech Tips" Sebastian introduced the Framework team to the highest level people at AMD he knew last year after his investment in Framework but as of his update video a couple of months ago, nothing really went anywhere.

I highly doubt it's a fanboying issue, they're a small company with big challenges and supporting multiple platforms is not easy at any scale. They also wouldn't want to say anything positive or negative that could sour relations with AMD or other partners in future.
Good on you for giving it your best. Thanks for the answer, Xena.

Government ethics advisors are obviously concerned about the industry staffed commissions. I think that's a fair question whether we should enpanel a dozen AI Tech CEOs to draft our legislation. What I object to, is turning into a hit piece against ceos, when the government explicitly sought out CEOs and executives with financial interest. If you go out and ask a dozen CEOs what they want, they're going to tell you what they want, and they should.

I am a big fan of the Spanish virgin olive oil at Costco (the one in the tall green bottle), so I got excited when I saw their olive oil from Italy. I thought it would also be great, but it tasted very very strange. I don't know what 'acrid' is, but the word sounds like what that oil tasted like.

I think you are falling into a “deeply-technical explainer” trap. You’ve been so deeply engrossed in the use-cases of this novel technical combo that they are all assumed understood from your POV.

And, this tech is so general that there’s a second trap of “What can it do? It can do anything! Sure, but what can it do??” Again, because I’m your head “anything” is pre-supposed to a narrow set of goals that this tech fulfills very nicely. It cannot, for example, take my dog for a walk. So, it can’t do “anything” ;p It’s hard to get out of that head-space because you’ve been so deep in it for so so long.

But, I and 85% of people here have no idea what narrow set of goals Docker+Wasm fulfills. Something about apps and security something something. Mostly for servers probably.

Some awesome-fit exemplar use cases would help a lot.
I’m really not sure how you concluded that Apple is astroturfing here. Maybe I’m biased or blind but I think it’s this kind of company that really avoid this way of promotion.

I got an Oculus 2 for my kids. Although cool for 10 min, I can't see myself liking it- not now- nor ever.

Maybe I'll read this comment 20 years later and wonder how I was so naïve.
I honestly didn't know that dd just did the same thing as cp or cat. I thought you had to use it for making bootable USBs because it was doing some kind of special arcane magic behind the scenes .. this intuition was reinforced by the fact that so many GUI tools purporting to make bootable USBs are so unreliable. If literally all you have to do is copy bytes from one place to another, why the fuck do those tools fail so often?

Doing this kind of thing is a) rare and b) usually you have more things on your mind at the time, so you tend to be quite conservative and not think to experiment.
Which OSes have you used that do that?

In Linux you can do that -- disable overcommit (although I'm not sure if that's 100% foolproof). But that's often not preferred because that way does lead to "perfectly innocent" processes being killed: whoever allocates the next page when memory has run out loses. And how do they get to decide? What if a failure path requires paging in one more page of code from disk? Or causes a store to a COW page?

No one really knows what a roguelike is, yet it is repeated ad infinitum. If the general populace doesn't really know what a roguelike is, why not describe it with proper wording like:

mostly shallow content sold as something shiny in a repetitive way, lack of original story/background, time vampire if no proper checkpoint/save system in place.

The best egregious example of terrible game design is the game called Returnal where the game designers sentenced the player to recollect most of the items/loot upon failure because who knows why. This isn't a problem in itself if done properly, but why going through the same area again and again, why collect the proper weapon again if you fail at a boss, is just plain stupidity or malignancy.

So in essence a childish idiot sentences you to replay his "super creation" multiple times, because he thought that's cool. thank you.

you, the gamer, will come into this equation with your most precious resource: time. how do you want to spend your time? by repeating the same BORING shit or progressing and experiencing new, stimulating areas while a story is told to you?
I’ve been playing roguelikes since the mid 1980s, and from that perspective it’s hard to overstate Josh Ge’s contribution to the genre. Cogmind is just incredible — an absolute masterpiece that he is continually evolving. And Josh has likely written more for and about the genre than anyone else in history.

This is a guy who’s put over ten thousand hours into his seminal game, and to the genre overall. I feel like Josh — along with Tarn and Zach Adams (Dwarf Fortress) — have by sheer force of will translated roguelikes into the current era. (And yes, FTL and Spelunky are awesome as well — just farther afield.)

Respect.
I’d say that a big part of it is a lack of discoverability. The reason people copy blindly, especially if they’re new to Unix-likes, is that there are lots of commands with lots of flags, each of which you just kinda have to know about. And they work together reasonably well (except when they don’t), but going from “I need to accomplish this task” to a particular command is generally going to require a Google.
