Have you looked into backing up into the cloud? I used to do this way back in the day, but by using AWS I get legit offsite storage. Its really cheap if you use glacier, and I was actually looking this week, and there is now an even cheaper option called Deep Archive. It costs me about $2 a month to store my stuff there. I just back up the irreplaceable things- my photos, documents, etc. All the other stuff is backed up on TPB or github for me.

What the war in Ukraine and protests in China have showed the world is, democracy in desperate times survive on Wi-Fi, AirDrop’d screenshots, and dozens of single port phone chargers hanging off power strips.

They don’t even bother to use multi-port chargers, let alone DC to DC converters, or cars rigged for power generation. Not to mention open-source encrypted software-defined self healing mesh network microwave radio protocols.

Maybe wartime is not the best to introduce alternative infrastructure that are inherently new; maybe only what’s there peacetime works.

And if that is the case, what we would need might be such items as, sideloadable resilient mesh apps for teenagers, appliance-fied server for game sessions in University dorms, and parallel chargers for camping.

For webdev Go scratch containers are really nice and quick to develop. Of course the language could use better error checking but that's about it. It really does that job well. Fast, secure (GC and yes you can ignore errors the same way you can unwrap() the world).

I guess the logic is "you are responsible for vetting who you give permissions to" but yeah this seems a bit extreme, I would not punish the users in this case either.
> I think the idea here would be that better engagement will improve our ranking? Is that correct?

Absolutely. Rather than performing optimizations for SEO, it would be better at this point to add more to the site. Once that's done, post about it in different places like on Reddit. You should start to see more traffic from both web crawlers and people alike

> Most suburban housing developments don't really have them, and you need to drive for at least 15 minutes to get any store.

I live in a suburban housing development and I'm within 5-10 minutes of almost every type of store I usually need. I needed to go to Tractor Supply last week and that took 15 minutes since it's a little ways out in the country. But I do have to drive, which isn't really an option for kids.

Though the traffic is not bad where I live. I don't know if that's because it's not geographically constrained or because of the lower population density.

Well it's common on the Rust user forums in my experience. I had intended to have a good stab at Rust in 2022 as I typically learn a new language per year (to varying degrees). Having failed to really get on very well with it I'm going (for the first time) to continue for a 2nd year and try Rust once more in 2023. But I don't plan to engage with the Rust community again - there are lots of great learning materials around and I'd rather go it alone than run the smug superiority gauntlet.

The front window on a Tesla M3/Y sits behind the bright trim attached to the exterior of car (there is no frame around the top and sides of the glass). Normally the glass will drop down a bit when you press the door open button to clear the trim, but if there is no power and you use the manual release, then glass will scrape past the trim on the way out, which can potentially cause damage (as happened) in this case.
I have a very nice tool for checking out the GitHub pull requests I'm assigned to review that uses this to preview the description. Way nicer than anything else I tried in that it can do emojis (not sure if they're encoded as shortcodes or what), tables, etc.
I do think that some things should not be discussed in a work forum, but it makes me think about where the line is. Can companies ban talking about unions or salaries? Those things are not protected speech but it would be unsettling to have them regulated.
>There's also the critical theory about how the Enlightenment is only the Enlightenment in retrospect. During that time, it would have been a miserable existence full of broken and exploited people, and people believing in totally different realities and agendas.

That's not a theory, that's the obvious interpretation of what everyone knows about the time period, including the people who were living in it. Even the texts of the enlightenment are often about how bad they think their society is.

If breaking the law is dishonest because there are dishonest ways you can break the law, then speaking is dishonest because you can speak in ways where you tell a lie.

This breaks down because merely speaking is not sufficient to show someone is lying, just as breaking the law is not sufficient to show someone is dishonest. For instance, I can speak without dishonesty by telling the whole truth and you can break the law without dishonesty (say someone finds a pot seed on their property, and plants it -- illegal but not dishonest).

>Second, your claim is if Bill Gates has me on retainer to break him out of jail and I don't break him out of jail I go to jail?

Absolutely. It's conspiracy and this is a pretty well understood legal concept. The agreement to do the deed is the spoken part of the conspiracy and the physical taking of the money for it is the overt act needed to convict you.

We use cloud Jira, without any sort of crazy customization. This morning, I wanted to unsubscribe from a ticket.

It took about 15 seconds to load the ticket page, and another 5 seconds to process the unsubscribe. I just tried again now, and it took "just" 3 or so seconds to load the ticket page.

Their p50 time is already unacceptable, and their p90 time is completely absurd.

We've known what acceptable delays are since 1968[1]! Why is it so hard to build software that meets these requirements? Our computers are only 20 million times faster than back then...

It's not "significant whitespace" in the sense that it is usually used.

Few complaining about significant whitespace think:

foo bar = 3

Should assign 3 to a variable named "foo bar" because otherwise it's significant whitespace. The lexer already splits tokens on unquoted whitespace for most languages, so requiring a comma in lists solves ambiguity.

The only real argument against it would be that this looks confusing (though it's still unambiguous!)

[ 1 2 + 3 4]

so one would either have to live with that or parenthesize multi-token expressions in a list. Note that due to Nix's weird function syntax, parenthesizing function-calls in lists is already required there, but c-like languages don't have this problem.

In all seriousness, a Christian could marshal a legally credible argument that such a restriction impinges upon their freedom to proselytize, which is widely considered to be a core duty of that religion notwithstanding that this is in conflict with the prescriptions of its founder.
I suspect once general NLP models become cheap and widely accessible, we'll see a lot of niche tools that can transform data from one type into another. E.g. you could just paste the recipe in and the tool would already be prompted with "instructions" to output it in the desired format.

Sort of a related tangent to the "the internet was designed by ARPA to survive nuclear war" trope that is trotted out occasionally...

It's NOT that the Internet specifically was designed or intended for this, it was a research network. The pre-existing AT&T Long Lines network which carried telephone traffic around the US48 states also carried the DoD's AUTOVON network data links for their own phone system, and data links between things like SAGE direction centers.

Many of the cold war era hardened AT&T Long Lines bunkers, underground sites, special buried mountaintop sites and such all pre-date the earliest days of the ARPANET.

There's mountain top long lines sites out there now that couldn't be duplicated for less than $50 million. Money was thrown at this in quite a profligate manner - same as money was spent on various early generations of ICBMs, strategic air command 24x7x365 standby and patrols, the DEW line, and such.

In the era before inter-city singlemode fiber optic cables were a real operational reality these places were absolutely crucial.

The data links between sites in many cases rode on top of these networks in the earliest days of IP.

I mean, ya, that's what you generally want. But oil is a poor example. Are there people out there actually measuring how much oil they put in the pan? It's just a general guideline for if you need a lightly oiled pan, or a pan with a lot of oil. And really the amount of oil you need will vary a lot by the type of pan you are using. A lot of measurements are like this. Like salt, not only are personal tastes very different, but a half teaspoon of one kind of salt can be a lot more salt than a half teaspoon of another type.

Anyway, A lot of people cook by generally knowing good ratios. It takes time though and you can't really get started without explicit measurements.

I see your point, and I don't even disagree with it really. I don't know the history of python and why they needed to make all of the changes at once, rather than gradually deprecating features and then eventually removing them.

I will reiterate my point from a sibling comment: always adding layers but never removing anything is going to get incredibly complex. The complexity will only ever grow. That complexity is a cost and a risk just as much as alienating a large part of your community is.

Imagine the miles and miles of detritus that will be in the C++2122 if nothing has ever been removed in the name of backwards compatibility.

The problem with Waldorf is how much is based on blatant pseudoscience:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waldorf_education

> Steiner considered children's cognitive, emotional, and behavioral development to be interlinked.[81] When students in a Waldorf school are grouped, it is generally not by a focus on academic abilities.[54]: 89 Instead, Steiner adapted the pseudoscientific proto-psychological concept of the classic four temperaments – melancholic, sanguine, phlegmatic, and choleric.[82]

[snip]

> Today, Waldorf teachers may work with these pseudoscientific "temperaments" to design instruction for each student. Seating arrangements and class activities may take into account the supposed temperaments of students but this is often not described to parents, students, or observers.[90][91]

Do kids have different personalities? Yes. Should education take that into account, in some fashion? Possibly. Is a Medieval conception of "personality" linked to "fluids" the way to do that? I'm pretty sure we can do better with the benefit of centuries of hindsight and actual research.

> Experts have called into question the quality of this phenomenological approach if it fails to educate Waldorf students on basic tenets of scientific fact.[111] The Waldorf approach is said to cultivate students with "high motivation" but "average achievement" in the sciences.[112] One study conducted by California State University at Sacramento researchers outlined numerous theories and ideas prevalent throughout Waldorf curricula that were patently pseudoscientific and steeped in magical thinking. These included the idea that animals evolved from humans, that human spirits are physically incarnated into "soul qualities that manifested themselves into various animal forms", that the current geological formations on Earth have evolved through so-called "Lemurian" and "Atlantiean" epochs, and that the four kingdoms of nature are "mineral, plant, animal, and man". All of these are directly contradicted by mainstream scientific knowledge and have no basis in any form of conventional scientific study. Contradictory notions found in Waldorf textbooks are distinct from factual inaccuracies occasionally found in modern public school textbooks, as the inaccuracies in the latter are of a specific and minute nature that results from the progress of science. The inaccuracies present in Waldorf textbooks, however, are the result of a mode of thinking that has no valid basis in reason or logic.[113] This unscientific foundation has been blamed for the scarcity of systematic empirical research on Waldorf education as academic researchers hesitate in getting involved in studies of Waldorf schools lest it hamper their future career.[114]

There is a difference between a philosophy of how to teach kids actual material and a so-called "philosophy" which results in teaching kids nonsense. It also leads to a question: If you remove the pseudoscience, is it still Waldorf?

Rivals Worried SBF Tried to Destabilize Crypto on Eve of FTX Collapse
Considering the MSM and the White House are close friends this should come as little surprise.

"So which politicians got money from the founder and former CEO of collapsed cryptocurrency exchange FTX?

MarketWatch has compiled an interactive list below of the candidates and committees who received funds from Bankman-Fried based on the latest disclosures to the Federal Election Commission.

Overall, he gave almost all of the $40 million to Democratic politicians or groups, and just over $200,000 to Republicans, according to the disclosures."

SWR 2.0 – React Hooks for Data Fetching
Ask HN: Is Fizz Buzz an American Thing?
Because I've never seen either the word game or coding exercise based on it ever come up here in the UK, regardless of the context. It's never been asked in any interviews, I never did anything like this in school, and if you asked me to do it, I'd have to look up what the name means first or what it actually requires.

It also makes me wonder how many of these coding exercises and leetcode tasks are based on things specific to certain countries and cultures, and whether the ones asked of people vary based on the region.
This is very coincidental timing. The physics simulation in the Source game engine, and Garry's mod, absolutely cemented in me an interest in computational physics. I really wanted to see fully simulated fluid water in games, particularly GMod, but it never really happened, 15 years ago.

This never stopped bothering me, so I recently loaded up the game and programmed an entity that was simply a particle that repelled itself with inverse distance-squared falloff. I was only able to get up to around 100 particles before the game slowed from 200+ fps to ~10. There seemed to be a huge amount of overhead in the lua scripting system's connection to the game/physics engine. Something about getting the position of 100 particles, or asking for all the particles within a given range of each particle, even for only 100, was enough to send frametimes over 100ms-1000ms. I wanted at least 500-1000 particles at at least 10fps, and I'm sure in terms of raw math, that is nothing for modern CPUs, even with the most naive implementation. I had to figure out exactly which lua functions had the most overhead for such a small amount of simple math.

So, I re-wrote the script, seeking to chase every rabbit hole that would let me increase the number of particles while maintaining over 10fps.

1. Switch from per-particle loop, to a global loop that cached each particle's position per frame, so it was more pure math and less engine bindings/"context switching". Approx 50 particles to approx 150.

2. Limit the particle simulation to 10hz instead of 66hz+, and adjust the force scale to compensate. Raised the limit to approx 300-400 particles.

3. A dynamic scaling system, so that the system would never try to simulate more than 100 particles at once, per 10hz tick. Raised the limit to approx 700 particles.

At this point, there are now other non-CPU bottlenecks. Any method of drawing 700 entities, even basic wireframe?, even with a very high end GPU on a nearly 20 year old game, is significant, and there's no easy way for me to break past this.

I am sure if I learned how the source engine's plugin system worked, and I hooked into the physics engine using C++ instead of however the lua bindings work, I should be able to simulate a thousand particles at 100+fps, but that's about where the scope of the project starts to contend with "real life", and I continue to wait for a 3D sandbox game with satisfying fluid physics.

Your optimization method of "only one iteration per frame" is in a sense, the same, and in a sense, the opposite of my method of simply not even simulating every particle every frame... I just didn't have the spare performance for that. Then again, I'm only simulating a single force field with no proper collision detection or anything fancy

This. There were plenty of flaws in the Amiga experience (like "please insert disk..." dialogs that simply won't take no for an answer because the programmer didn't check for errors) but that instant feedback is what's missing from so many modern systems. I call it "having the computer's full attention" - and it comes from the fact that (using the stock GUI system) the gadgets which make up the UI are drawn and redrawn in response to input events on the "intuition" task rather than whenever the application's main loop next gets around to it.

That's why Magic User Interface felt "wrong" on the Amiga, despite being a superb toolkit in lots of ways* - drawing was relegated to the application's task, making it feel "Windowsey".

(*I would genuinely like to see a port of MUI to X / Linux.)
In terms of quantities of data collected this likely undersells US efforts. In terms of nefarious use it perhaps oversells the issue… at least so far. But calling it a conspiracy is disingenuous when the potential is clearly there, and OP's comparison was clearly about the quantity of data collected.
