> I’m curious about the use case for plugging one external drive into multiple computers in 2022, when storage is super cheap and networking is super fast.

I have an external drive for a media library, storing there videos I'd like to watch and audiobooks I'd like to listen. Over years, it's grown pretty large. I'd like to have read/write access to the library from either a Macbook or a linux laptop. The linux laptop is old, and might die soon; and I am not sure whether I'll be replacing it with another linux laptop, or will switch to the Macbook entirely. I know that some people recommend getting an NAS drive; but I don't have appropriate setup for it.

The trouble is actually breaking that premise. The SC has ruled, effectively that money is analogous to speech. Undoing that would pretty much need an amendment to overcome. They could also find that trying to limit corporations at this point could be a violation of the 14th amendment.

I don't like it, I really don't agree with it, but the reality is that's what it would likely take to overcome counter arguments in favor of continuing corporate personhood. As I mentioned, it might be tolerated if it came with tax exemption, in leiu of new taxes against corporate/stock loans and more taxation on profit distribution.
As you say so yourself that’s average acceleration. No contest there.
I don’t think the two usages are significantly more or less negative. Body language, intonation, context, etc. are everything here.
I believe that in large it can be attributed to a large number of experienced invited/appointed executives who make an exit. Not necessarily being a founder.

Word cadence is also important. We tend to add length to short words and shorten long words naturally until we reach a certain cadence. Longer words can sometimes be easier to say than short ones. If you look at tongue twisters they tend to use short, similar words. By making every word short, you could make an entire language of tongue twisters!

The episode "Power To The People" in the satirical comedy Yes Prime Minister deals with exactly this. It also looks at the trade-offs, which explains why this will almost certainly not actually happen. Well worth a watch :-)

I ran UUCP well into the 2010s. Starting around 1999 I was running a small company and we all had laptops as our primary machines. Remember, back then Internet was fairly spotty: Still dial up, CDMA 9600bps cellular, Richochet, PCMCIA, BreezeNet...

UUCP with qmail and later Postfix was a great way to shove e-mail over these really unreliable connections. The g protocol worked amazingly well over these unreliable connections because it could pick up where it left off, so as long as you could get a few packets through, eventually your (sometimes large) e-mail messages could make it through, even if they had the spend the night trying.

The company kept that architecture well into the 2010s, even when we all had fairly speedy, reliable Internet connections, because it just worked really well. They eventually went to gmail years after I left.
I find nothing wrong with the classical syntax,
but there is a very practical, even stupid reason why the syntax is the way it is now. As you can see from the tutorial (https://nbviewer.org/github/cozodb/cozo-docs/blob/main/tutor...), you can run Cozo in Jupyter notebooks
and mix it with Python code. This is the main way that I myself interact with Cozo. Since I don't fancy writing an unmaintainable mess of Jupyter frontend code that may become obsolete in a few years, CozoScript had better look like python enough so as not to completely baffle the Jupyter syntax highlighter. That's why the syntax for comments is `#`, not `//`. That's also why the syntax for stored relation is `*stored`, not `&stored` or `%stored`.

This is a hack from the beginning, but over time I grew to like the syntax quite a bit. And hopefully by being similar to Python or JS superficially, fewer confusion results for new users :)
Electricity is much more expensive than its ever been. 60-odd percent comes from gas turbines. That drives the raw cost of everything up.

It's definitely gradual, and many things with margins are losing profits rather than just doubling in price, but if this effect is sustained, many businesses just won't be able to afford to stay open.

If it's a cold winter, many will suffer in cold. We turned our heating on for a few hours a couple of days ago and it cost £7 (for mere hours). We can afford this, many can't.

Our mortgage repayments doubled recently. We now pay less into savings. It's fixed for another 2 years but who knows where we'll be after that.

So yeah, the worst is yet to come and I think we all know it.
Airlines Don’t Expect Cheap Airfares to Come Back Soon
I've written many a hardcore punk song, and I am a pretty poor guitarist. I think my main comment on the video is that playing barre chords very fast is extremely easy. The good guitar players in the punk world add things beyond chords. Also, I've never thought of punk as "not having chord progressions". That just seems...incredibly wrong.
This is a really impressive piece of work! Congratulations!

I note that it appears to be a library, but it's licensed under the Affero GPL. I believe this means that if I link your library into a program, and if I then allow users to interact with that combined program in any way over a network, then I have to make it possible for users to download the source code to my entire program. Is that your goal here? Were you thinking of some kind of commercial licensing model for people writing server-side apps that use your library?

(I'm curious because I've been deciding whether or not to roll my own toy Datalog for a permissively-licensed open source Rust project.)

Nice read. Even if it may not be the entire truth (I'm not making claims either way).

It reminds me of an album that put me much into the same headspace as this article, River of Nile - The Work

I love Python and have been using it for 20+ yrs as well. I have seen a lot of pain on older Python projects (pre type hints). I think you need more discipline and tests and docs to keep a large Python project on track. Not saying you can't do it, it just takes more work than with a statically compiled lang. However as I said - type hints have (imho) a huge improvement for large scale Python projects.
"Everything, nothing works".

Few people like being asked open-ended questions when they are irritated.
Not the OP, but here's my observation: When I have to stop at a light until it turns green, I have to navigate the intersection while the cars around me are entering it as well. Suddenly there's a car trying to pass me, a car in the oncoming lane turning left, etc. If I can skirt through the intersection while the light is red and there's no transverse traffic, I can get through without interacting with any other moving vehicles.

I've also been involved in car(-car, not car-bike) accidents before where some idiot at a light was looking at their phone while stopped, and did something stupid when they noticed others moving in their peripheral vision. Plausibly, such idiots could be the cause of a lot of accidents at intersections.
If you have the answer card to a test it takes much less 'computation' to get the test correct.

Print '2' is lot less operations than (insert formula here) if you know the answer is already 2.
The answer is simply because that is not how the dev implemented it.

Why couldn't you write a patch to do that, and submit it? Or clone the code and release e2entfy.sh?

Sure there are forks and there are spoons. But there are also lumps of coal.

You have a problem: You need to eat soup and steak. So you use a spoon or a fork. The lump of coal is useless. You can probably smash the steak with it then eat the remains or lick the soup off the wet coal you dipped into it. Possible but a horrible tool overall.

There is an argument to be made whether certain languages are lumps of coals rather then a spoon or a fork =).
> Qubes, Kodachi, Kali, Whonix, Tails, BlackArch

- Qubes is overkill for my needs.

- Kodachi is shady as fuck and could have a backdoor.

- Kali has too much of an attack surface. It's bundled with thousands of software packages that can be leveraged in attacks.

- Whonix is certainly useful, but you need a beefy machine to run two VMs side-by-side. Also it may leave a forensic footprint if your Linux install dumps contents from RAM to disk (swap).

- Tails again is useful, but I found it's updated very frequently. A whole new flashed thumbdrive just to update Tor is insane. But I still use it for like 50% of my computing.

I was adding a new application (i.e. a topic) to on my own instance today. Gotify is Go binary to run with very little configuration.

Your comment is not true for high quality databases like PostgrSQL. Check-and-set just works on the correct isolation level. There is no isolation, your transaction will fail and be rolled back.

Note that in your case of "do Y" being embedded in the Nuvia design, "do Y" would likely be protected by trade secret law if it is covered by Arm's confidentiality and licensing agreement, and Qualcomm would likely not be allowed to use knowledge acquired in this way.

This is something I keep thinking about. I'm not rich by any means, but way over the national average and if I am starting to get concerned about the cost of things, how the hell can someone on minimum wage cope.

The point which your parent post made, and which I was implying in my original post, is that if the committer was willing to commit such a clumsy "fix", what else might they commit in other places?

Nobody said the committer was not intelligent nor prolific. What was implicitly brought into question was the judgement of the person.

"But all the people who reviewed and accepte the commit!..." Sometimes reviewers don't pay full attention (because they are busy). Or sometimes they don't feel confident to challenge someone. Or they may be inexperienced.
I probably bike more than drive but I will present driver’s argument. My main problem with Idaho stop is cyclist misinterpreting it as having right of way no matter what, especially on four way stops.

As a car, if I am stopping first at stop sign, honest ass to the ground, I am going through that intersection first. If you are a cyclist who is still rolling up to the stop line, you do what you got to do, whether it is full stop or slowing down just enough. I got into multiple arguments with cyclist who thought they should be able to just roll through the stop sign and I should have waited for them. That’s illegal even with the Idaho stop.
If I were to run my own personal instance of this that cost would be quite high. A free Oracle Cloud VM or $5 Digital Ocean droplet would be the way I go.

Khan Academy (2010)
I really enjoyed the old khan academy website, because I was able to get a "spatial" sense for the scope of all math videos, I could see them all in one place.

This helped orient and motivate me to watch them all, and get a semi-complete math education. By contrast, last time I visited the khan academy website, I had a pervading feeling of FOMO and getting lost, thinking maybe there was a better set of videos on some other page.

People attracted to software development for money alone without any interest in technology or development will not last long.

Lets play your comparison in reverse and nursing suddenly becomes extremely lucrative because of staff shortages or whatever. Like pretend it pays as much or more than software development and nurses get a cut of insurance bills or something. I might be able to get training and fake it for a while but I would be an utter failure since I have no interest in nursing or health care from a career perspective.

There are probably as many developers working on health care systems as there are working at FAANG/ad-tech. Then nearly every industry these days has software developers. Have you read about the licensing of updates to farm equipment? that's software.

Who says software developers have the best minds anyhow? It's a fallacy that someone excelling in one field somehow could excel at anything.

Yes. This is likely not the typical workload. Our PG database is only used in research, in "burst" situations - e.g. big batch jobs written to the DB (2 days 400 Million tuples) and read in big chunks (e.g. 400 Million tuples exported in 2 hours to CSV/Postgres FDW). ZFS is on spinning Rust (Sata 6GB), 6x8TB drives in a Raidz2 pool, the ZFS dataset is both compressed and encrypted. In Proxmox, I do not see I/O in any way limited during these burst writes/reads, the bottleneck is the CPU. However, the CPU was the bottleneck also before ZFS, so I cannot say how much impact the compression/encryption has. Other ZFS parameters are default (eg. filesystem recordsize is 128KB - lower values will yield better read speed, but less compression, and we were aiming for a lot of compression).

Likely no impact, but we use Postgres in Docker on unprivileged LXC, the `/data` directory is mounted from the LXC from the host ZFS pool. Since LXC runs all processes on the host, the performance impact is negligible (unlike, e.g. running this in a full VM).

I have the _feeling_ (not actually tested) that the Postgres database is faster with ZFS, since less data needs to be read, especially since we have a lot of sequential scans.
The whole point of the OP article is that a radical leftist view is taking over major social, cultural, and academic institutions.

The author provides plenty of examples for this in the article, some of which are well-known, and none of which are factually disputed.

It seems the ones who ignore reality are those assuming and/or pretending "the center" is still firmly in control on these issues. That simply is not the case, which is really a key point in the article.

WHO, YouTube and Funding
It may be the most helpful thing for them, but listening to someone else's problems could be emotionally taxing to the person listening. Double so, if the listener has a feeling that he's there just to listen, and that the person talking about the problem just wants to offload their issue to the listener, and is not at all interested about what the listener have to say about the topic.

If you want someone to just listen, go get a psychologist. They are at least paid to listen to other people's problems, and have tools not to take stuff personally and not to feel bad about it. And they get paid in the end.
And that goes for every player. Want to be Germany and not have someone outflank you and say 'lets take the cheap gas from russia' - take the gas off the table. Want to be India and still get half off your energy? Want to be the US and get to sell a ton of gas to europe?
Attacking popular/successful people is indeed a classic, effective and scummy way to get visibility.
It still amazes me that over 2,000 years later we have the direct writings of Julius Caesar of his various campaigns. I believe these texts are still used heavily in teaching Latin because the language is so clear. Obviously there's bias involved in his accounts but they still represent an extraordinary first hadn account of Roman conquests.

Dan Carlin has an episode on what he calls the Celtic Holocaust, the conquest of Gaul (ie modern day France). It's called this because it's estimated a third of the population was killed in the process. From a historical perspective, Caesar also could've lost here, which again would've massively changed history. There would be conquering and settling of Britannia without Gaul. And Britannia was important for many Roman emperors after that (eg Constantine, who converted Rome to Christianity, was proclaimed emperor by his troops in modern day York).

Anyway, part of what drove the Roman psyche with Gaul was that early in Roman history (the 4th century BCE IIRC), Rome was sacked by the Gauls. It's why we don't have much history before this and why the origins of Rome are shrouded in mystery and legend (ie most view the tales of Romulus and Remus as apocryphal at best).

But historians make the case of why conquering Gaul was so important to Rome. I was reminded of this when you mentioned the conquest of Baghdad. The damage can be well beyond the loss of culture or literary works.
> 1. The driver behind me doesn't expect me to stop and almost (or does) hit me.

Try signalling. One of two things will happen: they will either realize that you are coming to a stop or they won't have a clue what the signal means (even though it is in the driver's manual, at least around here). Either way, they will slow down.

That is used in competitive as well (usually a single depot or turrets) to mess up the path finding. Or as sim city where the whole base is designed to block paths or mess up the ai so that it funnels trough choke points.

Destroying buildings takes a lot of shots so it is often very hard to push those structures. Since the damage is not used on the more dangerous units.

Actually that is quite similar to the real thing because obstacles like dragon teeth need active protection from troops behind as well.

Otherwise it is quite easy to move some engineers up end place some explosives or dig dirt over them.
