As someone using strictly alsa/dmix/alsamixer for decades now, I'm surprised to learn my OS audio is a dumpster fire.

To me it's a low-feature deterministic stack that rarely does what I don't want it to.

But I haven't introduced a bunch of fuel for the fire like bluetooth audio devices either... to each their own.
Here's a really good interview with one of the former technical directors of NSA, Bill Binney, who resigned just after 9/11. He disagrees. Conspiracy theory? Hah.

well, GHA supports running actions in containers, which is the best way to control the environment your CI/CD runs in, so putting your runner in a container won't work for everyone.

but, if it does work for someone, doing what you've done will give a much better experience to their developers.

my employer uses single-user VMs for it's runners; it works well, but sometimes actions invocation is high and it can take a few minutes for a runner to come around to taking my job. that would be much less of a problem with dockerized runners.
I find it hard to believe that in an era of smartphones and all these gadgets, there's no picture, video or any other type of evidence except "unnamed sources".
The more important question is - is it right that certain groups wield such power? The outrage culture is insane.

Apple fires a top negotiator who have worked there for 22 years because someone somewhere is 'offended'. Most probably someone who at the outset was set on finding something to be offended about.

Yeah thats so much power that any foreign interest would be stupid not to attempt to use that influence.

> The concern over the "highly processed" nature of plant-based meat-alternatives seems really disproportionate

Well we're dealing with two separate audiences now, aren't we? The people who care about their health and have moral quandries about eating meat are likely a separate group from those who engage in the typical "American diet". Based off how the article is written, it seems that the intended audience is more of the former than the latter.
I personally wasn't, but I turned 17 during the 2008 financial crisis, so that jump started getting engaged with things.

I've been working out of WeWork in SF and wifi as been completely unusable for the past week. It's been super frustrating to debug because some people have been able to connect totally okay.

Now that I know this is an issue mainly introduced my Apple on their silicon machines, I have some apologies to make to the WeWork staff.
That will be changing soon. Vim 9 has a new version of Vimscript (called Vim9script) which Neovim doesn't support, and its APIs for things like async jobs are also different. However Vimscript itself will probably remain a common denominator for many years to come.
That depends on the jurisdiction and policy and is a choice people can make for themselves.

It certainly isn't always worth it, but in the event that it isn't, you don't need a law to prohibit it because it's already not something people have the incentive to do.

And if they're doing it anyway, the assumption should not be that they're idiots who need to be prohibited from doing something they apparently choose to do of their own volition, it's that they maybe know something more about their own circumstances than far away bureaucrats do.
That's impressive, how did you go about marketing those?

If you sued me the case would not last 4.5 years, because a normal person doesn't have the funds to sustain a fight that long. That's the entire point of the gripe - corporations can extend these fights indefinitely and they will because it's profitable for them. That's not a good system for getting companies to act accountable for their choices.

I doubt I'm going to change your mind on this, but I think you are under-estimating the difficulty of getting ID in certain parts of the country, for certain people. For example, people living on reservations often have difficulty getting ID because the DMV/other agencies are hundreds of miles away, many lack transportation, many lack the necessary documentation required to get the IDs, some states have put legal hurdles in the way (many homes on reservations don't have legal addresses, for example).
The right thing is to generate fake data, but also provide an API to check whether the data is fake or not. That way apps don't have to test every permutation of granted/not granted permissions to ensure they don't break, but apps that really care can still explicitly check to see if they got the permissions they wanted.

> Fermented foods need to be the next diet fad. The fermentation process acts as a pre-digestion mechanism, breaking down complex structures to be more easily digestible

The argument for fermenting foods is that you introduce beneficial bacterial flora to help the gut microbiome. Additionally, the "pre-digestion" mechanism that you're talking about tends to make the nutrients from the food more bioavailable.

> Meanwhile, Facebook has invested billions of dollars in building and developing a platform according to their fair reading of that law.

So often in the last 20 years I’ve seen companies (and particularly US tech companies, but it’s not exclusive to them) deliberately read more charitable interpretation of the law, knowing they'll make millions over and above any fines they might receive.

It’s so common place that there is even a saying for it:

“ask for forgiveness not permission”

So I have a hard time believing that Facebook, with their army of lawyers and millions earned from data collection, are the victims here.

So there could be joe@company1.com, joe@company2.com, etc. Probably only the joe in his current company can login because the others have revoked its access.
That's prohibitively expensive for an ID, even for most Americans. Any required government IDs should be nearly if not completely subsidized.

Requiring IDs in the USA has historically been used as a form of voter suppression. Texas is one of the worst states WRT voter suppression [1]; anecdotally in the 2020 election (during COVID) Houston, TX (3rd largest city in America) had exactly 1 ballot dropbox [2].

In 1985, Soros bet that the Plaza Accord (a market manipulation among a cartel of leading economies to weaken the dollar for political reasons) [1] would work and he was right.

That has nothing to do with shorts or squeezes and everything to do with collusion among the Treasuries and Central Banks of something like 75% of the world economy at that point.

Soros 'won' the trade because he realized how impactful this collusion would be while the rest of the market didn't.

$130 probably isn't much to the majority of people on this forum, but $130 can buy multiple weeks of groceries for 2 people at low cost retailers. That is absolutely a lot of money to the significant percent of Americans who live paycheck to paycheck.

Even if you're not living paycheck to paycheck, $130 could be a decent chunk of what you're able to save annually. When money and expenses aren't consistent, it's be tough to prioritize a passport with no intention of traveling internationally.
That is a pointless question. Why do you call them Apple iPhones when they’re made by Foxconn?

Apple has not made displays in decades, if ever. They still contract the design to meet their specifications, and then market and sell those displays that they were involved with. That makes them Apple displays for marketing purposes.

These days, Apple sources displays from multiple manufacturers, but they end up being nearly indistinguishable because Apple was deeply involved in the design and manufacture.

Yes - they accomplish the same thing.

--link-dest is just an elegant, built-in way to create "hardlink snapshots" the same way that 'cp -al' always did.

But note:

A changed file - even the smallest of changes - breaks the link and causes you to consume (size of file) more space cascading through your snapshots. Depending on your file sizes and change frequency this can get rather expensive.

We now recommend abandoning hardlink snapshots altogether and doing a "dumb mirror" rsync to your rsync.net account - with no retention or versioning - and letting the ZFS snapshots create your retention.

As opposed to hardlink snapshots, ZFS snapshots diff on a block level, not a file level - so you can change some blocks of a file and not use (that entire file) more space. It can be much more efficient, depending on file sizes.

The other big benefit is that ZFS snapshots are immutable/read-only so if your backup source is compromised, Mallory can't wipe out all of the offsite backups too.
Whether the marker is leading or trailing is orthogonal to whether the first/last marker is optional. And usually you want to have it optional in either case so that e.g. you can write `f(arg)` and don’t have to write `f(,arg)` or `f(arg,)`.

Hence it would be:

leading-marker-list = [ element, *("-", element) ]
> That's simply not factual for ethanol.

It is if you take away the subsidies.

> Even if that were to remain true, sorry, I'm not getting another car loan to replace a car that's already working. That's the reality for the vast majority of people. EVs need to come further down in price by far.

The base Model 3 costs less than the average new car. You don't have to get another car loan, you can keep driving the car you have for another ten years, then buy a ten year old EV which someone else is buying new today.

It's the elites who buy new cars. You still end up driving an EV in ten years.

> Those deals have never been easy to find, but the promise of affordable EVs has always been "just around the corner."

EVs have only very recently been produced in volume and are still only ~6% of new cars, and a far lower proportion of used cars. The thing that makes them affordable as used cars is to be a high proportion of new cars and then wait five or ten years.
I asked it to write a haiku about explosive diarrhea. It got the syllable count wrong a few times, but the haikus were incredible! I find the AI is especially good at combining random cultural elements into songs, poems, and stories. It is also good at matching the tone/voice of various authors (ie corporate-speak, the bible, a rap song, etc)

I think they undersell the difference. You'd be laughed out of the room if you profiled debug code.
At the time I was selecting a preschool, it wasn't a specific study, however interpretations of various studies.

If it's helpful, this is a more recent one: https://srcd.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/cdev.13575 which shows that Montessori preschoolers performed comparably to non-Montessori preschoolers in Kindergarten, though "disadvantaged kids" who attended Montessori schools performed better than "disadvantaged kids" who did not. (My interpretation being the correlation to performance is that the parents got their kids into a Montessori preschool despite economic disadvantages--biased because of what I learned in Freakanomics).

And a tangential analysis: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41539-017-0012-7 that concludes that most studies around Montessori are not sufficient to draw any meaningful conclusions, however adapting Montessori methods into traditional classrooms appears to be beneficial.

Regarding your upcoming decision--if I can offer my advice: find a preschool that best meets your families needs, and not worry too much about academics (at their age). If your children enters grade school with the abilities to succeed in the classroom that's great. If not, it's a great opportunity for them to learn early age how to overcome challenges--which will serve them well when they are adults.
As adamsmith143 pointed out, if that evidence exists, it's probably better to keep it out of sight of Iranian authorities. If that means you don't believe it, then that's what it is. Exposing sources is a bad idea.
I don't know about AU banks but in India, most big banks allow you to convert at 0.3-0.4% + FIRA and interbank charge which is around $10. Not great but it's better than stripe for bigger amount.

You can also get a multi currency bank account. There are some options available to Indians which provide US based ACH and IBAN. Be careful with FEMA compliance.
Advice: slow down when you are talking, don't try to play catch up between your mouth and your thoughts. You will stutter and "umm" "hmmm" less automatically. Also because of this it is likely that your mannerisms will become more coordinated and your voice will be a bit lower, which will add to the "eloquent" image.

Exercise: Pick a topic and talk about it for 5 minutes in front of a recording camera on your computer (on a Mac QuickTime can do this). Then watch how you look and sound, notice the things you don't like, adjust them, and iterate.
The article seems to contradict your claim:

> In 1936, all the Montessori schools in Italy were forced to shut. With the help of one of her students, Ada Pierson, Montessori settled in the Netherlands, where she lived until her death in 1952. Pierson gave her a big house in Laren, near Amsterdam, where she dreamed of expanding her method from young children to adolescents, ‘a delicate age, full of surprises’.

Most of the anecdotes in the article are about children younger than 6.
I don't understand. There are webpages/apps that track you and now you have to accept that they track you before using it. That has nothing to do with instagram - if I don't want to be tracked, I don't use the software. Right? Simple solution.

Although significantly disparate impact can be indicative of discrimination, it isn't necessarily. Title VII and Ricci essentially acknowledge this.

on the contrary, I think facebook and google have a huge incentive to work with different governing bodies to define what data is ok to collect and build identifiers around, and what is not.

<<2. Facebook relies on its relationship with its users being non-consensual.

Well, I am not certain FB tells users exactly the extent to which their online persona is being profiled. We have relatively vague lawyer talk for 'more targeted ads', but it does not tell you that FB identifies as a prime target for ads that would feature, say, a suffering animal. For the record, I am making it up, but inferences taken from massive amounts of posts people make daily make it highly unlikely that a detailed and thorough psychological profile that would normally require years of visiting an actual psychiatrist are now very much a possibility.

And the only official indication of this we have comes from various FB court cases, but those being 1000s of pages of useful information is not an average person will go through, let alone understand. I forgot which company tried to shed some light on it with ads that used that info indicating to ad viewing person that "you are an X who likes Y". They got shot down fast.

I guess my point is.. it may be consensual in the sense that user agreed, but did the user truly understood what he/she agreed to, is something I would argue against.

But what is the real problem ? (getting editing and feedback in a simple way)

Textarea or contenteditable provide support for editing, but not for syntax highliting or fancy functions
- or to have them, the usual is to write all needed for editing from the ground - because it's not possible to control content of editable
in other way than by operating ranges of selection (like startOfsset and endOffset, regarding to startContainer and endContainer - and if they are equal, that's the cursor).

But it's very convinient to get both: contenteditable and syntax just by aligning precisely one over another, then get rid of few corner cases - as you can see below.

I made it once in Firefox 23+- in very minimal way.
I applied it by userContent.css with @-moz-document regexp("^.*#?\\.(css|js|jsm)$") { .. },
it was working with view-source: as well, without making any changes to the original document
(half transparent anonymous content over it), very little was needed to keep it in sync
(or to have a handy feature to highligt same words as under cursor when Ctrl key is pressed) and.. you could just save the document after editing.

@-moz-document regexp("^.\*#?\\.(css|js|jsm)$") {
html>body>pre { -moz-binding: url(hilite.xml#hilite) !important; }
div { position:absolute; pointer-events:none; }
div, pre, span{ white-space:pre !important; background:transparent; .. }

> Every breaking change increases risk as an end user and reduces the likelihood that I'll upgrade at all, instead of switching to something else more stable.

I understand this perspective and don't wish to sound negative but with this approach it's possible that web development simply isn't for you. The volatility in these tools is a reflection of the volatility in client browsers: they're upgraded constantly with new features that benefit the end user. I'm sending images to clients using WebP instead of PNG because the bandwidth savings are huge. That was a "breaking change" to my publishing pipeline but it was worth the investment.

At the same time you can keep using Vite 3. I've dug out old projects using old versions of Webpack and they've still functioned fine.
