I find this syntax argument a bit strange nowadays.
There's this extremely popular Kubernetes tool called Helm, which uses go-templated YAML to generate Kubernetes resources.
The template syntax is nothing short of horrible. An endless maze of {{ ... }}s, where it's just too easy to shoot oneself in the foot by using {{- or -}} in wrong place, etc. And on top of that, you literally need to count spaces for nindent (mind you, you don't need to count parentheses while writing Lisp code).

I'd say Lisp syntax is clear as day when compared to your average Helm template.

An example is here:

https://github.com/kubernetes/ingress-nginx/blob/main/charts...

https://github.com/kubernetes/ingress-nginx/blob/main/charts...

And yet, all of this somehow doesn't prevent Helm from being popular...
That seems unlikely - this is too blatant and, as we saw with Madoff, mismanaging your clients money tends to be taken more seriously than some other white-collar crimes.
A bit off topic, but I’ve always thought that relative to consoles that succeeded it, the Atari 2600 hasn’t aged well. The games just aren’t fun to play these days.

Compared to the NES, there’s something about the advancements made in tech those few years — and probably even more so game design — that makes many of those games still fun today.

Granted, not many younger generations will find the appeal, but as someone that grew up with both Atari 2600 and NES, I still enjoy playing the NES games, where the most I get out of playing Atari 2600 games is a few minutes of nostalgia.

To me, the Atari 2600 is where video games hit mainstream, but the NES is where it really took off and solidified video games a place in history.
"I'm pretty sure most ipfs gateways that expose ipfs to http requests do comply with DMCA and other takedown notices"

Correct.
1. there is a lot of IPFS gateways outsite of USA
2. you can access the website directly "ipfs://CID" from Opera, Brave browser

This way it is fully decentralized. IPFS gateways are centralized.
Reminds me of 4Chan tracking down Shia Labeouf's flag.
Let the engineers have a JPL job AND a private job/consulting? Partner with some of the private firms to effectively achieve the same thing?
> The value proposition was uncensorability, irreversibility, non-inflationary nature, and permissionless nature.

This boils down to two things, really: 1. To skirt the law (aka regulatory arbitrage) and 2. Act as a techno-libertarian “sound money” experiment.

Ghost guns can be used for good. But it’d be pretty silly to suggest that criminals use them because they’re early adopters. Criminals use them because they’re criminals. Sometimes the laws they’re breaking are unjust—but these are just tools for breaking the law.

And just because you can use crypto to buy things legally, there’s virtually no reason to do so, like taking a ghost gun to your local firing range.
Hah! I was just there. It’s very fascinating, I found where GitHubs Arctic Code Vault is, and saw the Soviet mines!

Should I post more examples? Because I can assure you that there are plenty more.

I am as happy as the next person to take pot shots at crypto currencies and their ilk. But how about we stay honest about the fact that traditional finance is far from benign and more than happy to use and abuse us customers to their liking?
my notes from 02019 https://dercuano.github.io/notes/gardening-machines.html say that my rosemary bush had a doubling time of about 66 days

rosemary is about 50% water [citation needed] and most of the dry part is carbohydrate, (ch₂o)ₙ, which should weigh [edited] 68% as much than the co₂, so roughly each kg of co₂ becomes 1.4 kg of rosemary

a doubling time of 66 days is about 1.05% growth per day, so you need about 130 kg of rosemary bush in your office to grow 1.4 kg per day and thus keep up with your exhaling

except actually it only needs to grow 1.4 kg per day during the daytime, not at night when it isn't photosynthesizing, so maybe you could get by with 90 kg of rosemary bush or so

and probably about half a tonne of soil, say about 2 m²

could be a single plant but it's kind of a tree-sized plant

if you need it to suck up your co₂ at night you need a crassulacean acid metabolism (cam) plant like aloe, but i think you need a larger amount of it because cam plants tend to grow slower. maybe moringa but i don't know if it's obligate cam or facultative cam

[edited to correct calculation erorr]
That's a fair point. But what was on that platform was there because it was illegal, not necessarily immoral (drugs for responsible, personal consumption). I am simply contesting the use of drug transactions (especially small ones for personal use) as an example of an undesirable use case of a new technology.
Painfully blunt what a nice way to describe it!!!

Yes, when the meanings are so curved you almost miss their reflection… but don’t. And that is what makes the story so beautiful!
Sequoia deleted the original puff piece. But it was telling of how they fawned over him. SBF was a golden boy, an ivy league elite child of Stanford compliance lawyers. And the article gushing over Sam playing League during a pitch is just icing on the cake. Where I come from, it's a sign of disrespect, but Sequoia saw it as some clue into his genius intelligence.
Eating print on camera certainly qualifies you as being on-par with Werner Herzog who ate his shoe on camera.

The problem with classifying the need for lightweight methods as an "agile" problem is that agile has become the dogma that it set out to replace twenty years ago. Let that sink in. The word agile divides the room and that's part of the problem with cliched corporate speak.

As a result, there is no more confusing argument in software process today than agile because we do not have consensus on its meaning. At best, defining agile is a choice paradox. This is a result of the spectrum from little a agile (actual agility) to Big A Agile (fake corporate agile) where the pointy haired boss tells you to select from a cargo cult of overly complex choices, all of which are bad. My experience has been that teams that wind up at real agile wind up there because they weren't worried about defining a cornucopia of cliched agile speak prior to moving forward and instead did a lean build-measure-learn cycle and just figured it out as a series of continuous improvement iterations whereas fake agile stems from trying to do what some other unicorn says works for them, failing, and never getting it right because there is no cycle of action learning and reflection. tldr; it doesn't actually matter what words you use to describe the gyrations, what matters is that the gyrations work for you and your team and produce the results the team desires.

FWIW, most of what I've said is supported in the research and publishing of Alistair Cockburn who was there when it all began twenty years ago and wrote Crystal Clear. The other academic I'd reference who has the done the work and arrives at what I believe are the correct conclusions is Allen Holub.
Emby at the least has the option to write it to the media folder alongside the video files
>Telling your home router to forward 445 is not that hard

At first I thought this was sarcasm...

Dont do not... putting samba or any other SMB server on the wider internet is a bad bad idea. It is a good way to get your system compromised.

>>& tablets should just be able to connect over SMB

The draw of Emby, Plex, and jellyfin is not just to file browse and open up files

They Provide Meta Data about the Media, Play Series in proper order, Allow you to see rankings, Ratings, provides Art, etc and most importantly Keeps track of play history on a per user basis.

SMB would not do any of this.

>>Tailscale's the only company on the planet who seemingly has the sense to extend our homenet's reach quickly/easily.

Yes and no. VPN's have been used by home users for a long time, and tailscale is far from the only company / project doing what they do [1]. Tailscale was made possible do to a new(ish) VPN protocol (wiregaurd) that is very light weight and secure, previous VPN systems like OpenVPN would not be able to support something like tailscale

Would court decisions in cases such as what is going on with GitHub automatically affect business products such as this, and to what extent (e.g. retroactive royalties, etc)...
> For my use case my interpretation is that would mean extra work for potentially lower quality, and unlikely any value add given that nothing annoys me about current Plex.

Here's a positive example from my experience from switching to plex to jellyfin. When I drop files into my movie/tv folder jellyfin automatically syncs the files whereas in plex I always had to go to the page and click a menu icon and then click sync folder. Maybe there's a way to do it in plex that I don't know about but jellyfin did it by default.

I also find the web version of the media player better on jellyfin. I hated the google auth login to plex, and so far jellyfin feels lighter weight.

Like you, I don't need advanced sharing options and or anything beyond a private website that I can play my movies/tv shows so plex always felt overkill.
Priced at $790, it seems grossly overpriced compared to the LiteVNA64 at $125, with similar specs (50kHz-6.3GHz)
They don’t actually really like being called Native American though. That’s kind of a white thing.

Well, that's a big lie. I grew up on a reservation, an Indian Service Area, and still work on a reservation. Native American, Indian, American Indian are all used.

indigenous is the not a term originating with any tribe.
So an isolated, remote, thinly populated location like Longyearbyen with almost zero tourism doesn't have many short-term apartment rentals. Fine, that makes sense. But what's the story with Seoul? It's among the densest and most connected cities in the world with plenty of tourism and business visitors. Why is finding a real short-term apartment so difficult? Can you explain more about the legal or cultural problem there?
The idea that this is some kind of "op" is undermined by the fact that SBF was broadcasting his own lack of trustworthiness for a long time. Remember that exchange with Matt Levine where SBF all but admits to running a Ponzi scheme[1]? That was half a year ago.

I think the idea that this is some kind of 4D chess move by regulators is a convenient way for the gullible idiots who believed in this stuff to put the blame on something other than their own credulousness. The guy basically admitted to running a Ponzi scheme. Why did you continue to trust him???

I deleted my Github account right around the Microsoft takeover. Though I don't require any reassurance or more reasons that I did the right thing, thanks for your story.

How does that happen; what sort of fingerprinting are they going by?
Probably just the pilot didn't flick the switch for it while he was having his coffee break while the passengers were boarding.

I'd bet if you can get a few popular newspapers to write articles about this with scary headlines ('Airline nearly suffocates passengers - and doesn't even apologize!'), then airlines will remind pilots not to do that...

There’s a weird false equivalence here. Whenever critics hear government oversight and interference, they immediately point to the governments that manage their currency relatively well and say “look, these governments do therefore no one needs to worry”.

History and contemporary geopolitics are both littered with examples of governments that absolutely ruin their population’s lives with currency problems. What if it were possible to have consumer protection regulation and also remove some of the nasty side effects of government and institutional preference in monetary policy?
I've considered moving from Plex to Jellyfin (or some other offering in the space), but I don't think anything can really compete with Plex.

Plex, for me, required quite a bit of fiddling, but once you get it working it works _very_ well. There are decent-quality apps on every platform you want to use. There's a whole lot of software that integrates with Plex from things like requesting/adding new media to monitoring/analyzing Plex server usage.

Some of the things I appreciate about Plex:

- It does a very good job at matching media
- It's very easy to share access with others
- It supports many types of media -- TV, movies, music, live TV, and just plain ol' video. I store class lectures on Plex!
- I'm able to stream very high bitrate movies (upwards 40mbps) without issue

Plex doesn't have the smoothest UX. You have to understand some technical concepts to use it effectively, e.g. sometimes I have to force a transcode when streaming an incompatible format. I have been very frustrated with Plex because of this.

I do wish that Plex would stop working on features that few use. I suppose this is a hard thing to do when they're working on a product that is so heavily associated with piracy.
First world problems.

maybe you find a greater purpose, maybe you don't.

But a purpose can be just "breathe, eat, crap until you die." That's a purpose. This is the purpose of most people in the world. You have someone who didn't graduate from high school and not Einstein, they might work as a convenience store clerk for their entire life. Nothing wrong with that at all, but it's not like it is Norman Borlaug, whose Green Revolution fed billions of people and kept them from starving to death.

All this "find your purpose" stuff just puts a lot of unwarrented pressure on peole and if you can't find one, it is a negative. It won't give you higher happiness or well-being. It will just be a massive frustration and make your life miserable. I guess I'd be more of the mindfulness/live-in-the-moment kind of person.

I have no life purpose or meaning of life. I'm like everyone else, though. Mostly average days, some great days, some shit days. The gaussian distribution, right? I don't think that people who have a "purpose" in life live every day as a 12 hour orgasm. Everyone has mostly average days, some great, some bad.

As far as happiness goes, at least 50% of it is genetic. If you have shitty genetics and have unhappy genes, even if you are happy with the other 50%, you'll never be as happy or at peace as someone with happy genetics. Never. No higher purpose will make someone with unhappy genetics as happy as someone with happy genetics.

So my point would be to not worry about it. Do the best you can do. Plan where you can. Do what you can. Get your pleasures where you can. Before we are turned into dirt.

Maybe take 3 entire hours and listen to Thích Nhất Hạnh's Peace Is Every Step: The Path of Mindfulness in Everyday Life
From reading that I see L3 switching uses "specialized ASICs with the help of content-addressable memory" and later on features "flow accounting". I'm supposing those primitives could make a rate limiter. I'm refusing to go down this rabbit hole though. If I'm wrong I'm sure I'll hear about it by tomorrow :)
I think the velveteen rabbit also reflects how we each want to be loved. Though we will steadily fall apart with age, have our shine scraped away by the world, someone will still find us to be beautiful and treasured, not in spite of these things but because of them.

JK Rowling has actually tried to write a novel around similar themes called “Christmas Pig” and to be fair, it is a fun read as a bed time story for kids but doesn’t hit quite as hard as the Velveteen rabbit.

Amusingly, what drove the development of internet video was - wait for it - porn.

The other driver of internet adoption in general was online stock brokerages and banks.

And in the 1970s, people thought the only use for a personal computer was storing recipes.

Generally speaking unless you are prepared to (at a minimum)

1. Harden the operating system

2. Actively monitor logs, and apply updates upon release

3. Put a Firewall with IDS/IPS between the server and the internet (which most home "routers" do not provide)

you should not put anything on the wider internet, instead using something like tailscale (which you mention in another post) to create a secured private network across unsecured inet
Yes, but they now show their catalogue by default on every new client you log into. So you (or whoever has access to your server) have to know to hide their rows in favor of local media collections. They don't differentiate them in any way, so I hope your media libraries are named something more descriptive than "Movies & TV". Really disappointing.
I mean they don’t actually “really like” it, not they don’t “actually really” like it.

They are not such enormous fans of the term that you should be going around telling people to use it over other ones. And white people (who think “Indian” is a slur) do go around telling people this.

Kodi isn't a fork of the old school XBMC on Xbox, it's the direct continuation of the project. After they migrated their focus onto PC and other platforms the Xbox version was actually forked off into a separate codebase and dropped from the main project, but Kodi is the direct descendent/inheritor of the original XBMC.

I've been using it since it was still called XBMP, it really hasn't changed that much UI wise.
I'm not sure what kind of life you've lived, or how old you are; but stating that

> Adults aren't more sophisticated than a teenager, they just have better impulse control

is reductionist and absurd.

Some experiences are only available to adulthood. Some experiences take decades to transpire; some experiences need decades to pass after their conclusion before they can be fully understood, contextualized, and woven into one's self.
To avoid CSS inheritance & specificity, the "Cascading" part of CSS is the actual root of all evil.

If only someone would come up with a way to write CSS to make the cascade work for you, not against you.

Why would this make someone question crypto? FTX was not a blockchain. It was a website run by one guy which (incorrectly) told you that he was holding some crypto for you.

I'd disagree on your first point. A critical component of systems that should skirt the law would be untraceability. A cryptocurrency like Monero or Zcash has this property (or attempts to, at least), and they are much stronger candidates for that use case.

Uncensorability is a desireable property for legal adult content producers, who are locked out of many payment platforms despite operating entirely within the law.

Irreversibility is a desireable property for merchants, who are the ones left holding the back when chargeback fraud occurs.

Permissionless nature is a desireable property for those at risk of discrimination from traditional financial institutions. While rare in the developed world for law-abiding customers, there are plenty of countries where people of certain races, religions, and ethnic groups are denied access to financial resources like a bank account because of such factors.

While these traits may be attractive to criminals, especially ransomware authors, they aren't only attractive to criminals, and all of them find demand in law-abiding users, as detailed above.
It’s hard to short something when you can’t trust the exchange. You shouldn’t short USDT either even though Tether is a fraud, because they can fraud harder and blow you up first.

To encourage their other money launderers to stay in line. Criminals can’t rely on things like contracts since they can’t take someone to court so one way to prevent cheating is the threat of violence against the person or their family.

In this case, I’d bet that he’s safe if he ends up in federal custody since being in prison is also effective punishment from this perspective. If not, it’s easy to imagine something happening to him if he tries to hide somewhere since the message “you can’t run far enough” will heard by everyone in that world.
