Yay, councils. Yay, bikes.

Is there any talking with you?

> But then what about all the places where literally the only way to get to them is by car?

Right. Councils, governments have designed the transport system around cars. They did this, spending our money to do so.

Now they are spending more money (on things you like) and you are happy. But the new system can't possibly work. Most people won't cycle to places. Is it wrong to expect the 'social contract' we were promised to remain intact? Shouldn't we agree to change? Isn't that how things are meant to work?

Is it ok, for the governance structure to tear the status quo up, and partially implement a new system, at our expense, and with a loss of service? Did you ever get an opportunity to vote on this? No. The reason is that these are all sustainable development plans from the UN. Councils write their implementations based on the UN templates. This is why it is the same story everywhere.

Plainly you are from the 'government is there to help' school of thought - the case for global cooling, no warming, no change, has been made to you, and you are convinced something must be done (despite the lack of any personally verifiable evidence).

But you can surely see this is authoritarian? No one has chosen this. The governance structure provides all the information and the solutions - judge, jury and executioner. Surely you can see that in aggregate we lose freedom of movement and money - as someone else said above - we are constrained. (They were happy about the constraint - they want to be constrained! It's insanity.)

Even if you as a cyclist gain more cycle lanes.. Isn't the point of life to live freely, as you like - is government there to lightly imprison us or help us achieve more freedom? All of us?

I think it is clear which direction we are moving in. And it amazes me that well-meaning people are cheering and demanding other people's losses. All this on the basis of information that cannot be personally verified, even if there appears to be consensus.

You do realise that the very worst of us want to govern us? That they want power to force us? They have education, media, nudge units, etc all sorts of tricks and narratives to engineer our consent, regardless of reason, if it furthers their agendas.

Anyway, I'm blathering - all the best.

if musk doesn’t want attention then he should stop screaming “look at me! look at me!”

it’s illogical to constantly cry out for attention and then complain how unfair it is that he’s getting attention.
I don't think I'm having trouble understanding you at all. Rather, your definition of science is inconsistent and thus not comprehensible. To understand why, let's assume that the C-T hypothesis was never hypothesized, but Turing still described his mathematical formulation of the Turing machine. Mathematicians then went on to use that definition to do mathematical research not tied to the empirical world. According to you, those mathematicians are not doing science. Now let's assume that someone formulated the C-T hypothesis. Suddenly, all that work that was previously "not science" is suddenly "science." So you can see how your definition, at best, can only classify things as "science" or "maybe science" because ties to the empirical world can always be discovered later.

A proper definition of science would be able to consider a study X and classify it as science or not science using only intrinsic properties of the study, not an extrinsic property like a known connection to the empirical world.
The problem with the theory of constraints is that it, from my understanding, uses inner constraints to determine boundary ingress rates. This causes higher variation than necessary. When a bottleneck is introduced, you will have a lot of crap backed up in front of it because you ran upstream processes at high rates into the bottleneck – even though you knew the bottleneck was there. When the bottleneck is lifted, you instead have upstream processes starved waiting for the flow from the boundary to come.

A better alternative in the face of some variation is local signalling like kanban. This will run upstream processes at just the right rate all the way back to, and including, boundary ingresses.
It is wise because this dichotomy won't last forever. GCC will slowly die (because corporations seems to hate GPL and LLVM is their child) and everyone will need to migrate to LLVM sooner or later.

> Linux's refusal to adopt RichACLs/NFSv4 ACLs forever perplexes me, and maybe some day I'll be pleasantly surprised when they do show up.

As someone who has had to deal with NFSv4-styles ACLs (on an Isilon server handling Linux HPC clients): they can get really messy, really quickly (especially the inheritance aspect of them).
But we are all a bit guilty of this I am sure. It is great to share such stories. Realize we are all falling into the same traps and too shameful to admit it. Then we can fix and improve the technology.

I firmly agree with your second paragraph and the general point the link made about error message being vastly superior in clang.

I don't strictly disagree with your first point, but I disagree with the attitude from many dev regarding tests that lead to it becoming too common like in this article (and I'm not piling on the guy, it's very very common).

It's like people have forgotten what tests are for and thus what you want from them: a test that pass is essentially useless, it completes the green check mark and that's it, it doesn't matter. It's the test that fails that provide you information, that matters to you.

One might be tempted to disagree, tell me that passing test also provide information, by ensuring this and that and I will insist that they take a second and realize that no, they don't. Ultimately, the only value they have is in fact that they can fail, it's always the failure that matter.

There are indeed tests which fails to fail for other unplanned reasons, by that's not really what I'm getting into, I'm aiming specifically for the attitude of tests for the sake of tests.

Simultaneously humans can be less likely to want to pay than bots which can skew the bot to human ratio.
One important factor not mentioned is that the local currency, the Lao kip, has had a really rough ride this year, losing almost half its value in USD terms. I was in Laos earlier this year and hotels, travel agencies, even larger restaurants were requiring payment in USD.

Of course, one major reason for the kip's weakness is that Laos is now heavily indebted to China and unlikely to be able to repay its loans. The local economy has taken a major hit from China being closed, with lots of abandoned construction sites and shut-down hotels in the capital Vientiane.
> On recent M1/M2 Macs you take the additional pain (and thus performance hit) of translation to x86 (because that's almost certainly what your containers are in.

What on Earth are you talking about? arm64 Docker images predate the emergence of M1, and their number has proliferated in the last two years like there was no tomorrow. Here is an excerpt from my own tiny, non-representative collection of Docker images I have had to deal with lately:

$ (for i in `docker images | tail -n +2 | awk '{ printf "%s:%s\n", $1, $2 }'`; do docker inspect $i | jq '.[].Architecture'; done) | grep -c amd64

7

$ (for i in `docker images | tail -n +2 | awk '{ printf "%s:%s\n", $1, $2 }'`; do docker inspect $i | jq '.[].Architecture'; done) | grep -c arm64

23

Most of the 23 arm64 Docker images is pretty obscure stuff, with one or two manually rebuilt for the arm64 architecture. Yet, I have downloaded all of my obscure images directly from the Docker Hub – not traded them for a pinch of spice from a shady Docker image dealer at a drench inducing corner of the dark web. All of the arm64 images run at the native speed, locally and in the cloud.

The only reason I store x86 (i.e. «amd64») images locally is my laptop being a transient transit point between their source and the destination. I would have rebuilt them as well but the build process is either broken for each of them or is too convoluted to justify spending a time trying to fix it.
In other words, it is a sequence of words entirely devoid of any meaning. If it can only possibly convey an idea to someone who already knows that idea and knows that idea is the one to be conveyed, then the words carry zero bits of information.
Wikipedia says the S9/S9+ was the first phone since 2009 to have a variable aperture. The S10 series also had it, but it was gone again in the S20. So it's definitely not common, and even in the handful of phones that had it, it was only one stop of adjustment.

When you consume ads, tracking supported content, and money-sorted content targeting, you are voting that it is okay to give anyone the ability to modify your behavior, and of others in your network and household.

That is a bullshit choice and everyone should feel no guilt for opting to consume content anonymously. In fact many -need- to do this to protect themselves from politicians who are unfriendly to basic human rights.

Once upon a time, it was common to have time-shared multiuser Unix systems – a single server and everyone in the department could login and use it simultaneously. Filesystem permissions – first the classic mode bits, then ACLs – were originally designed for that use case.

While such systems still exist, they are a much smaller percentage of all installed systems than they used to be. Most contemporary Unix(-like) systems fall into one of two categories:

(a) single-user machines (such as a laptop)

(b) application servers, database servers, etc, which serve many users, but those users are defined at the application layer, the OS and filesystem don't know anything about them

Maybe part of the reason why filesystem ACL adoption is weaker than people expected, is that (a) and (b) don't have the same need for filesystem ACLs as the classic multi-user timesharing environments do.

> But the most common Linux distributions are Android which make extensive use of SELinux features

SELinux context and filesystem ACLs are two separate things. I see many machines with heaps of the former and little of the later (such as most Red Hat boxes).

Even with single-user machines, there is still some value in inter-process security – application sandboxing, corporate-managed devices, etc – but there are many technologies available now to meet those requirements, and filesystem ACLs are often not the most useful among them.
Nice!

As a totally off-topic aside, I spent (too much) time last night making my personal site a dark-mode switch (link in profile), and it came out looking a lot like yours. I'd tried centering U+1F506 in the switch but wasn't happy with it by the time I cut myself off, so I've gone ahead and retro-fitted in your SVG's and now have a switch which looks an awful lot like yours (wasn't much else to set them apart) but is totally JS-free; the approach involves a template that wraps page content in no less than 3 divs, and still needs cleaned up a lot (eg. better ID names), in particular there's a block of CSS that could be DRY'd out in my SSG. Might eventually adopt plausible.io too (thanks!). Do you know where your SVG's came from (sun just looks like the unicode char), and are you using a SSG yourself?

Edit: lol, broke the mobile layout in the process, no way I've got time to fiddle with that right now :p
The tape is so incredibly soft, it isn’t doing much on that front.

You also don’t actually have a spiral leakage pattern with NPT if tightened appropriately- the fitting it self deforms to seal it.

You need the tape or some other dope so the metal doesn’t gall when you do it.

If you aren’t tightening it that tight, then yeah you’ll need rope or whatever.

If you pull apart the fitting afterwards, it’ll be really clear you only end up with a tiny, nearly molecule thin layer of the PTFE at the inside of the fitting, if anything.

Well, start by remembering that the software is going to be a tool not the product. Therefore it has to work correctly in terms of provable results but the longer term maintainability is less important. Slick, aside from publishable data, is less important as the users are domain experts.

Try to understand the research work being done, “going to school” on the material as needed. Scientific chauvinism can be strong at times and people who don’t know the jargon can be (or will be) dismissed as technicians. The fact that you’ll know far more about software development won’t matter as that’s not of real interest to them. Fair? No, but so it goes..

Hint: it’s pyridine not “benzene with an N in it”.

Certain fields have been well served by Foss software and even tech books. Make sure you know what’s already there in case it can be adapted or used as test tools. Understand why what you’re doing must be different so you can defend yourself. There might be commercially available options but academic research isn’t usually interested in spending that kind of money. Pharma research is totally different about this, although cheap bastards are there too.

Docker solves "distributing software is hard" by using container images; so you copy the container image, and running that will work consistently everywhere.

Nix solves "distributing software is hard" by ensuring declarations of packages can be built/run in a reproducible way.

Software built with Nix doesn't need to run in a container runtime (which is much nicer for desktop / workstations).

Nix's strength is dealing with packages in a programmatic way. This allows it to also serve as a package manager (like brew or pacman), as a way of declaring an OS configuration (in NixOS), it can also be used to build container images, or VM images.
That is also how "computer scientists" and software engineers work. Our time is just valued a lot higher so we've come up with techniques to make our work more efficient and faster, like structuring our code well using types and function signatures.

The added bonus is you get science that's you know, repeatable. Because the difference between industrial code and prototype code is that it gets run so often there can't be glaring mistakes; it must be repeatable by default. We have different techniques for dealing with these problems, but writing good code is orthogonal to that (I don't think scientists need to be running static analysis, doing deep reviews, and having extensive integration/unit/mock testing throughout their code).
