Correct regarding senior engineers teaching, or any person trying to teach, actually.

Teaching is a skill, the same as engineering.

All the winningest coaches in the NFL, NBA, etc were not the best players when they played themselves. But they can communicate and motivate. I don't think there's been any stellar players that became stellar coaches.

I know I've always been one of the shittier coders - whatever I do, I'm usually not the best. Don't get me wrong, I know what I'm doing, but just not the best by a long-shot. However, I've usually the one who everybody comes to for help and explanations, because I think I have a knack for teaching. I like teaching. Even stuff I don't really know well at all, I can give people the general idea of the concept, which is 75% of the battle. I can point people in the right direction and give an overview so they are not wasting time in a wild goose chase.
> Those that wish to operate must comply

Well, that is exactly the effective force I'm talking about. Can you imagine Apple not operating in Europe?

However, this is "legal" authority. I'm trying to discuss the more subtle moral authority: Many even inside the continent, do not accept the moral authority of the EU. and they also use that "arbitrarily" word to justify their claims. So why not discuss that word in detail ?

I’m not for downvoting replies to death. I’m more for letting people define their words better. It sometimes works. Sometimes.

My assumption is that if you illegalized the sale of tobacco but not the growing of it that cigarettes would not have wide spread use, whereas with alcohol I think most communities would end up producing it.

Which makes it seem different, like cigarettes are this highly addictive thing that gets pushed on you because it makes some one else wealthy but otherwise would not have much demand. Which makes comparisons to alcohol feel flat.

That is the point I was trying to make when asking about laws about growth/personal production.
Yes, I have plans on adding more providers in the future. I am especially interested in priotitizing a provider with GPU instances like Vultr. AWS/Google are also on the agenda.
In principle inertial confinement is not much different from internal combustion engines where piston compresses the mix, and the explosion energy is harvested. Here lasers compress the mix, and the explosion energy is not yet harvested (but measured).

Tokamaks (the other approach) are more like jet engines in that they sustain burning. But currently the burning in tokamaks requires more energy than it generates.

> a real, current problem. Those are always more important than future problems.

You mean like addressing climate change, vs spending trillions trying to terraform a planet to make it barely habitable.
Power plants add energy to an electrical grid by converting external (chemical/nuclear/kinetic) energy into more electricity than they consume. There's no loss of energy/mass overall, but the amount of available electricity goes up. Since the laser would use electricity from the grid, that should be taken into account.
What does it actually do?

From the front page I expected maybe some web interface for doing various tasks, such as Nix package management or setting up Let's Encrypt, etc, but judging from the docs, everything should be done via standard Nix/NixOS commands in command line. So, I'm sorry, what service Shipnix actually provides, apart from initial setup of the server with NixOS and SSH keys, that would justify paying monthly? At least it's not clear from the docs.
What would be some use cases for this?

How does it work?
> The result is black market of unregistered cigarette brands. A good number come across illegally from neighbouring countries. Perhaps NZ being an island nation might be able to control illegal imports better.

This is in the short term. This is also a slightly different situation, which is beyond the land-access. High taxes are an implicit indication it's still ok and for the wealthy, making it a status symbol. Banning cigarettes in NZ will put pressure on future generations to not start at all. This will not be 100% effective, granted for the next generation. From a cost-benefit perspective, if you are going to bring in black market products, why not get people started on meth? Meth has become quite prevalent in much of africa and partly because it's cheap.
> They trust technocratic experts to know what's best for people. And implement.

I think reasonable people could object to Australia's internet censorship laws, COVID response, climate activities, etc.

There's a big difference between being an expert & representing the will of the people (aka policy).

I’ve used it frequently for prototyping, but the dialect is different enough from Postgres, that I usually switch over pretty early. But for production, it seems people are really advancing it as a solution for applications, which doesn’t fit with the “When To Use” guide on the website. https://www.sqlite.org/whentouse.html

I would counter that its really easy compared to most other systems.

I had an occasion where my phone was loaned to my (young at that time) nephew on a car trip and since it was my phone (and only my phone) I had rather permissive purchase checks on it. He bought a bunch of in app purchase stuff for Talking Tom (owned by a Chinese company). I filled out the form, and got a refund. I believe that it was much easier than trying to get a refund from the developer.

But in this wonderful thing called the free market, you can simply not buy Apple things
We can take a look at the Samsung Store or Roblox, and take lessons from it. Samsung's store is incredibly bad in UX, and noise.
I hate the monopoly and monopoly fees that come with the Apple store. The take away is the amount of money and work Apple has put to provide a clean and homogeneous interface throughout their store. An alternative market would need that, else consumers' interests won't be served.
But most apps, at least for me, were distributed as shareware. The developer got 100% of the cut because they sold it on their own website.

You need resources to build with. Venus isn't an option because you can't get resources from it. (If there's two things you need, it's energy, and physical materials.) The Moon is certainly an option, but while Mars is a desert, the moon is volcanic rock and never had active geology that concentrates metals. Additionally while Mars has an atmosphere of sorts, the Moon has none which means anything mounted on the surface of the moon is in an equivalent environment to being in deep space. This means there's zero protection (besides the planetary body itself) from radiation and micrometeorites (and bigger meteorites). They rain down constantly on the moon slowly carving divots into whatever you build things out of or punching holes in them.

Also I disagree that the technology to get to Mars or the Moon is inapplicable to elsewhere in the solar system. And most of the other options are generally worse than Mars for one reason or another. I'd like to hear what you think "Step 2" actually is.
Ya if you didn’t know what you were talking about or were lying you could say some other step in the value chain is the source of the critical IP. But in this case it’s pretty clear that the innovation took place at Cymer and Trumpf is the much more commodity component supplier.
I once compared the speed of these two approaches, rather accidentally. I did output colorization by adding ANSII sequences. I thought, of course one process must be more efficient than a pipe of processes. After the rewrite, I was disappointed about the slowdown and reverted back to the pipe.

PS I checked back and I used sed rather than grep. I think the result would hold for grep but the morale is that you should verify rather than assume.

I have around 50 seds in the pipe, running in parallel (which is what makes it faster), it would have been a half of that when I tried the rewrite.

> 2. I will be forced to use third party stores because critical apps are no longer distributed through the App Store.

This seems very unlikely. It hasn't happened on Android. Amazon has their own Android appstore and nobody is forced to use it, and I think nearly nobody does. But because Android has this possibility, I can use F-Droid which is excellent.

What does a "critical app" even look like? I don't have any apps on my phone that I would call critical, only convenient. My banking apps from the playstore are nice to have, but not critical. I can do banking on their websites, at an ATM or over the phone. Uber is sometimes convenient, but I've gone years without using it before and many people don't have it at all. If Facebook makes their own Facebook store and uses it to ship malware, it won't effect me because I never used their app in the first place, none of their crap is critical. That's the power of not submitting to peer pressure.

Maybe a "critical app" is one your government legally requires you to install, e.g. some sort of pandemic tracing app. But thankfully my government (America) has not gone that far. I don't think there is presently such a thing as a "critical app" in America. Only apps which may feel critical because of peer pressure or convenience, but aren't actually critical.
> As a user you can choose to only use the Apple App Store if you want. Since most users will only use the official store, it seems unlikely that many mainstream apps would consider dropping it entirely.

That right there is my problem with this. We can't even definitively say that it isn't possible. Doesn't Epic do it on Android?

A big enough company (like Facebook, Microsoft, Amazon) could easily push their store as being the primary way to download their apps. Start out on both at first but gradually introduce incentives for the users to redownload somewhere else. Then suddenly that App Store is on their phone, other developers see the App Store being used a lot and more and more developers stop using the App Store because they can get around these protections that I get as a user.

If somehow developers were still required to be on the App Store, fine. I would have no issue with it. But I just don't see developers doing it. Too many already try to employ dark patterns on there website that given a chance there is no way they won't try to do them on mobile. Many already try (like with the prompts to permit app tracking) but are limited in what they can do.
Agreed, but the OP is obviously unconvinced by the moral observation that Big Tobacco hack people’s brains for profit while externalising the costs to society.

Skipping all the baggage that's formed around the TikTok ban/no-ban, do you think nothing should be done about a powerful foreign country with ill-will having direct access to an incredible amount of US citizen data? Even if you don't think a ban is reasonable, the current state of affairs in this regard can't continue, or do you think otherwise?
That is not true; the heavy ion component of galactic cosmic radiation in particular is the single biggest risk factor in going to Mars (other than the spacecraft breaking).

I don't totally understand what's wrong with that. It doesn't seem like a particularly cruel way to kill an animal, it's an instant death isn't it? Is the resultant product just waste, or can it be put to good use? Edit: it seems it can be used as animal feed.

It feels like a distraction from thinking about fixing the way the hens get treated through their miserable lives.
The centralized bureau is called CCP.

TikTok's main power is creating associations. For example, CCP may dislike some US politician because he is a trouble for Huawei, so TikTok starts subtly pushing videos that associate that politician with bad stuff. In a few weeks 150 millions US citizens have a strong negative reaction to that politician. TikTok may do the same for targeted high-profile individuals, e.g. family members of congressmen or high rank CIA officers. That is an immense power.

I could not agree more. I won’t touch another app store with a bargepole. You want free software, get Linux / Android. You want a walled garden? Get Apple. I use both for different things.
Unrelated to this exactly, but on perception: There was some sort of tax break that was going to be repealed around 2014 or 2015 that had been in place for around 10 years, and I got into a conversation with someone who didn't understand why so many were against it. Honestly I thought it was pretty obvious: Roughly school to retirement is 40-50 years, so for around 20-25% of the workforce that repeal wasn't a return to normal, it was a straight tax increase. They were actually surprised and had never considered that viewpoint before.

Instead of banning Tiktok, how about enforcing proper rules and regulations that every social media should follow? Why not make a proper privacy that every people in US deserves.

Many people are probably glad that they are banning Chinese tech, but at the end it is gonna be superseded by Instagram which supply more data to three letter organization. The probability that three letter organization abusing our data is more than Chinese government.
As much as I dislike this practice, I can at least partially defend it by being as close to instant as possible. It does not make it any less upsetting, but, sadly, some animals suffer worse fates.
I, as many, have a BTRFS raid 5/6 story. I once worked at a place that had double digit TB databases. A few of the servers that predated me were set up with BTRFS raid 10 as their backup strategy. Basically stop the server, snapshot the volume, backup from the snapshot. It worked well enough.

There came a point where we were going to have to move to a larger server as there were no more slots for additional disks. New hardware procured, provisioned, prepped, ready to roll with the exception of an actual cut over. However, c-suite got involved as they tend to do from time to time, and kept kicking the can down the road.

Eventually disk space was a critical issue and a junior sysadmin decided it was a good idea to tell the COO that btrfs can be converted to raid 5 on the fly. I over the phone told them that this would guarantee data loss and refused. They literally came to my office to force my hand. Some people just have to learn the hard way.

That story aside, I'm a big fan of BTRFS and have been using in various configurations on my desktops for years. I'm glad to see this progressing.
Great point. Maybe 2y ago I asked Vercel salespeople about their infr and learned it was virtually all AWS. (Technically "multi-cloud" bc they used GCP in some minor way.)
I find `if not` to be a far superior version, simply because it reads similarly to it's `if` counterpart, specifically for how conventionally condition methods are written in ruby.

`return if not valid?`
or
`return if invalid?`

Both make sense in my brain, whereas

`return unless valid?`

It varies quite a bit by design, apparently the USSR’s initial design was only 15-20% fusion while US designs where closer to 50% which is still apparently the most efficient option in terms of warhead size.

However it’s possible to have higher fusion ratios at the expense of a larger device for the same yield. Most notably in the case of the Tsar Bomba’s which reduced the contribution of fission and too massively reduce the amount of fallout produced.

> Google accepts email from residential ips. Why can't you?
Because Google receives enough email to tweak its spam filters sufficiently. I have to rely on more general block lists.

> I sent mail from my home isp for years, until people like you made unfeasible.
I've accepted mail from home ISPs for years but a recent-ish (±5 years ago) but short wave of spam from botnets made me turn on the spam filter on my new server.

> Most small operators refused to allowlist me even after making phone calls, etc.
With my setup you won't even have to call me because I'll probably whitelist your server anyway. May take a day depending on how recent the latest quarantine report was, but that's no different from normal email anyway. My spam threshold is quite high so if you take the normal measures (SPF/DKIM/reverse PTR/etc.) you probably won't even hit the spam filter.

That's the problem - aside from only being sampled every 6 months, shelter reflects what people are actually paying, which includes a large number of people who haven't renewed their rents or who paid a lot less for their home and have no idea what it'd rent for now. As these people renew their leases or seek new housing, they're going to have to pay market rents, which in many cases have gone up a lot more than the measured CPI component. That bakes in a large future increase in the CPI, simply from price increases that have already happened.
You can still stay in your "walled garden" by sticking to the App Store (this is very likely what I will do 99% of the time). That solves all of your grievances including your Facebook hypothetical. But yes, it does mean you will need to choose between installing Facebook and using the App Store.

>There's nominal UK resistance to ID cards because the right-wing fascist papers say there is. I'm not convinced the population is all that bothered...

I think you've got it the wrong way round. People who oppose a national ID card tend to be left-leaning, while those who are for it tend to be on the right.

In the UK there's a very strong cultural association [countless films, TV dramas] etc. equating national ID cards with humourless totalitarian officials demanding to see 'Your papers!'. Hence the inherent distaste for the concept of having to carry something that proves who you are to any officious git in a uniform, who cares to ask for it.

Of course the irony is that, outside of passports, the UK pretty much has acquired a de facto national ID card by stealth, in the form of the photocard driving licence.

It's almost always the 'other' document you can use whenever reuired to prove your identity, if you don't have a passport. And the government is trying very hard to get people still holding the older [non photo] paper driving licences to 'upgrade' to a new photocard driving licence. Not only by extolling its benefits, but by threatening heavy fines for anyone whose details have changed in any way on their old paper licence and who hasn't immediately updated it.
