Your mistake is thinking that it is YOUR internet connection. It's not. It belongs to your ISP. If it belonged to you, you wouldn't have to pay for it every month. A lot of ISPs specifically forbid running a web server from your connection. Comcast is one of them. Among their restricted uses they include:

"use or run dedicated, stand-alone equipment or servers from the Premises that provide network content or any other services to anyone outside of your Premises local area network (“Premises LAN”), also commonly referred to as public services or servers. Examples of prohibited equipment and servers include, but are not limited to, email, web hosting, file sharing, and proxy services and servers;"

Just because you've been getting away with it doesn't mean the risk of having your account suspended isn't real or worth considering.
True as in a Boolean statement is a way of organizing experience rather than direct access to some hidden, metaphysical object. Your brain has to interpret stimuli to tell whether a Boolean statement is true or false - or interpret stimuli from a computer. You can learn something about the necessary conditions of experience by carefully analyzing the process and separating what is subjective from what is objective, but that isn’t accessing “Truth”.

There’s a giant gap between what this article is talking about, which is Truth, than the true statements from discrete mathematics. Discrete math is rooted in necessary conditions of experience; this article’s Truth is rooted in power.
An easier way to remove medical devices
It really is amalgamation of "whatever works fine as default on Lennart Poettering's private laptop". Hell, I still remember where "sec, I need to restart pulseaudio" was common thing I've read from my colleagues any time they needed to run some voice chat app...

ALSA before that wasn't great either, the fact you didn't get any software mixing by default and needed to fuck around with dmix gave way to endless problems with various software, and the fact dmix was still working subtly different than "real" device also reared its ugly head in many "pro audio" apps.
Isn’t that a decision Apple would have made years ago? I don’t think they can be years into design and still working on NRE in an effort to bring NRE down.
I think the brain drain story was way overblown. People are always coming and going on any team. Given how long hardware takes to design and plan, covid lockdowns are more likely to have impacted processors that should be coming out now.

I live in SF and didn't see the clouds that morning... but did see the rocket launch. Even though it's relatively tiny in the sky being over 200 miles away, still very cool. I was able to see the initial boost phase (surprisingly clearly), the stage separation, the second stage continuing on its way and some of the booster maneuvering for landing... just illuminated dots on the sky with some faintly visible exhaust plume.

The reported "clouds" probably didn't really become visible until later, well after I went back inside.

Yes and it seems he's very concerned about Twitter's profitability. It's probably why he tried to ban links to sites he saw as competitors.

This is very different from the take in this and similar articles.

Twitter might have a lot of problems, and it's probably made several mistakes. Musks's firing of half the employees and reinstating accounts banned for political reasons are not of them.
Maybe we should celebrate this? If the system is unfit for real world, the faster it selects itself out the better.
My issue with the list is that we're increasing the harm associated with the words in the list. If we perpetuate the story that people are harmed, and introduce new harmful associations that most people don't have, then we're broadening the blast radius ( oh sorry sphere of effect ).

The stories we tell ourselves matter, and I don't see why everyone has to tell the most pessimistic, helpless story possible when these words come up by believing that harm is inevitable for each word on this (or any) list.

If we really need to police (sorry, regulate) language this much an alternative narrative would be that "these words are embarrassing for the speaker because they may appear old fashioned or niche".
> I must be the only person who thinks Twitter is still worth at least $44 billion.

True statement. Everyone else knows that MyPillow and scam supplements do not a business model make. That's who advertises on the kind of thing Twitter has turned into.

But there's more: Driving away advertisers was not the first and worst error. Overpaying and using $14B in leverage means equity stakes are so far under water you have to dig under the whale poop to find them. I've seen some sucky rounds, but it's hard to beat the fix Elon got himself into. This is all on top of the fact that social media turnarounds are exceedingly rare and fragile. Everything fragile got broken on a whim and for no purpose already.

Nobody wants fashy techbros anymore. Elon brought a lot of exposure of this species to the normies and the normies are icked-out. Twitter's brand image is damaged in a way that puts it alongside Truth Social, Parler, Gettr, Gab, etc. Nobody wants them. The only thing fun about being those people is getting a rise out of someone by "just asking questions."
A lot of Mac Pro users are involved in high end media production. For those users, the power is beneficial so that you never have to wait for your computer.

For a more specific example, music producers liked the fact you could have over a terabyte of RAM on the Mac Pro. This allows keeping their entire library of VST plugins loaded into memory, meaning they never have to wait to load plugins into their project.
Strange, artists have made money in lots of different ways other than that
They happily try. But there are so many poorly coded websites they can't handle all possibilities. This seems like a useful feature, although I prefer the way 1password solves it.

(They handle multiple accounts on the same site, so their UI is a list rather than a single item. "Generate a random password" is just a special list item, so they can show you both.)
This sounds extremely relevant to my issues, as floating point issues between different clients and the server was something I noticed. I would really appreciate any links you might have to share.
> death is just the recycling of life so that new life can happen.

This is Stockholm syndrome. We all die, so some of us choose to think it's a good thing. Death in general is needed for recycling, but not human death. Humans represent 0.00000001% (warning, made up number) of the available matter. We don't need to die for others to live.
I would go for a secondhand old laptop. Not only will it prolong its life instead of pollution by buying even more new machines, you have integrated screen and keyboard for debugging and a battery acting as a cheap UPS. Parts are easily found. x86, so no funny business with experimental builds.
While I'm really impressed by the work in this paper (and codebase) I cannot stress enough that having minor as examples is definitely not a good idea on so many levels!
I agree with pretty much all the criticism of TFA here, I just want to highlight three, in my experience very real, traps:

1. Interest rates are, at least in Germany, rather high if you didn't manage to save or inherit some starting capital somehow - so for most people the best course of action is probably to live for rent at first and put aside what they can to get a decent deal. Also bearing in mind that interest might jump up after the initial contract period.

2. At least for me, it was hard not to overinvest into my own real estate. "Just 10% more for these fancy light switches instead of the plain ones". "Just double for these awesome windows" and so on. The landlords I had in the past usually had the cheapest, most plain stuff and it never bothered me, but somehow with my own property I have this voice telling me to put in just a little more. Thing is: Houses can be changed to quite a degree after moving in, much like software.

3. Old houses are usually the cheap choice. But they are also, in my experience, always in worse condition than you (and even experts) think. So it's good to prepare for having to pay rent _and_ the credit for 3-12 months - as well as have some items on your fix up list that you could sacrifice in case you learn about something more pressing to fix.

The housing market were I live is solid enough that I broke even after about 3 years despite these traps, but I have a feeling I got lucky and it could have gone bad just as likely.
Feeling offended is not harm

It really depends on the context, right?

If a stranger on the internet uses some controversial word, you can decide it's no big deal.

But now imagine your boss is using terms like "jewed down" or some other thing thing that applies to you, specifically. Are you harmed? It's very possible that you are harmed in a very literal sense; your career path is intertwined with a person that seems to think cheapness and haggling is synonymous with your people.

(It is also worth noting that this list of harmful language is targeted specifically at the "Stanford IT Community" which is a workplace. This is not their attempt to regulate the speech of the world at large.)

Now, having said that, I also understand the flip side of things. Some of the entries such as "tarball" struck me as absurd.

And on a personal note, I'm partially blind and I don't give a rat's ass about terms like "blind studies" and so forth. In fact, the phrase "keep an eye on things" always makes me chuckle since I'm blind in one eye: if you tell me to keep an eye on things, I'm likely to ask you "which one" because you're going to get a very different level of attention depending on which eye we choose. I also don't mind that we as a society have decided that "see" is a synonym for "understand."
Exactly. Additionally - I like to reinforce the idea that your home is a home not an investment. Your second or third? Sure.

But in my time on various zoning boards and appeals boards more often than not I am the dissenter when someone says “neighbor on their own land doing something legal will lower my prop value.”

When I remind them “with investment comes risk” I am often looked at, by my own peers even, like I just said something crazy.

Owning your home is owning a home and I think we need to focus on that idea more.
I think GP's point is a bit different: that different estimates will result in different type and different amount of work being done for the same deliverable. This is well-known when you've overestimated - c.f. the Parkinson's law GP mentions - but they also have a good point about underestimates, which is something I haven't thought of this way.

Consider an imaginary deliverable that should objectively (from God's point of view) take about 2 months to deliver, and different estimates being made and committed to in alternate realities:

- 6 months - delivered near the end of those 6 months, possibly to above average quality, with surplus time organically divided between improvements elsewhere in the project, other tasks, research, slacking off, and general waste.

- 2 months - delivered exactly on time, average quality, team fully focused on task.

- 1.5 month - delivered exactly on time, average quality, team fully focused on task, if a little tired.

- 1 month - delivered exactly on time, below-average quality, the team tired, demoralized by the anxiety and stress of meeting an unreasonable deadline.

There's indeed little difference in work being done if the estimate is in range of ~1.5 months to 3 months. Above, Parkinson's law will noticeably kick in. Below, corners will be cut, people will burn out, and this unsustainable approach will start as soon as people realize the deadline is unrealistic - which may be at the very beginning.
Owning a salon was a financially sustainable lifestyle, so you get more salons.

Working at a salon for minimum wage + tips is not a sustainable lifestyle, so you get empty chairs in those salons.

All it takes to open a salon is the ability to work there and easy credit. So you get a lot of salons.

Think of the fast food model. The owner of a McD used to make $200K+/yr, so there is intense demand to open new fast food restaurants. The employees make less than it takes to survive even with massive government program assistance, so the restaurants are empty with help wanted signs posted and early closing hours and drive-thru only. Then the prices have to go up until it takes $25 to take your daughter to burger king for lunch (true story...) so the customers all go away. Its not real food anyway. Then the owners of McDs make $0. "Everyone knows" you'll be a millionaire if you open a fast food restaurant and credit is very easy so there's an infinite line of people trying to make $200K but getting $0K. The cycle takes some time to stabilize. All those people in line have to get educated (LOL thats not happening) or go bankrupt one at a time, it takes awhile.

Service businesses always collapse from the bottom up. I've seen this in food stores, when an area has too much grocery store sq footage for its population. The collapse always starts with permanent help wanted signs and poor service, but it ends with "nobody would open a grocery store here, the just go out of business".

Apple fined 1M euros by Paris court over App Store practices
Bicyclists do tend to stay in much better shape than drivers, it’s true, but I’m reminded that I know more adults who can’t drive safely than bike and several of them were in good health prior to being in some kind of car crash. The status quo in the US is 40k deaths due to driving and hundreds of thousands of life-altering injuries every year so there’s considerable room for improvement here.

IMO, I just feel like it wastes too much time to justify itself. Hundreds of thousands of hours spent on a solution that relies entirely on the (unreliable) respondent.
Surely “American” is the most absurd. Literally no one is offended that people in the United States of America are referred to as American, even if there are 42 other countries in the Americas. The technical fact is it’s correct - anyone in the americas could be called an American correctly. But only one has “America” in the country name. But by including this it sparks a patriotic and nationalist response in most Americans and makes the whole “wokeism is against us” meme have teeth. It’s the political football that speaks to many people, especially immigrants who are proud to be called an American and not merely a U.S. citizen - which frankly has more nativist connotations and is used to separate natural born citizens from naturalized.

They also focus on age being the problem with “grey beard” rather than the implication that all senior engineers are men. I’ve always been turned off by the term not because it singles out age as a proxy for experience, because they’re literally proxies for each other. You don’t have 30 years of experience without aging 20 years. But not everyone with 30 years of experience can grow a beard or has a penis. Given the gender issues in technology, which are so obvious in the statistics over time, I genuinely think language like this calcifies the gender divide.
I'm a big fan of guns, but if I had to pick between a gun and a bear spray for the (exclusive) purpose of bear control during an outing, I would almost always pick the spray. Guns big enough to be effective against bears are heavy and cumbersome, and I dare say marksmanship good enough to be effective in a standoff against a bear is hard to come by for the average gunowner.

Of course, in remote enough situations where you might come across a grizzly, I would have a gun on my person in any case.
> The english soldiers fighting in the independence war against the americans, were partially germans, sold by in debted aristoctrats. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Junker_(Prussia)

What do Junkers in Prussia have to do with the Hessian mercenaries who fought in the war of independence?

It was Frederick II who leased the army of Hesse-Kassel to the British. He was not some random indebted aristocrat but rather the ruler of a sovereign state. The soldiers were 'professionals' who volunteered and were paid a salary. Not (as you make it sound) random peasants conscripts sold off to pay of some debts.

> This was the reality on the ground, even up until the 2nd worldwar.

> The only escape for the peasants and althose 2nd,3rd sons who were bound to the land, was to go on pilgrimages

Yes. The only escape for peasants in the 1800's to 1930s was to go on pilgrimages.

In any case middle or upperclass people were more likely to go on pilgrimages than peasants (proportionally) even during the middle ages. Any long journey was prohibitively expensive for most people to afford.

> The crusader knights surely promised the conquered lands to peasants who would follow them

Generally crusader knights, especially the nobles were not too keen about taking thousands of untrained peasants who have to be fed and supplied with other provisions by someone on Crusades without providing anything in return. Generally various unorthodox/anti-establishment religious preachers like (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_the_Hermit) were the instigators of most 'popular' crusades.

They were ussually opposed by the nobility, the clergy and the bourgeoisie. For instance Shepherds Crusades of 1251 and 1320.
I’ve never had the slightest illusion about Elon Musk or his principles. About the most I can say for him is he has said a few things I agree with over the years.
If your web app is not very heavy you can use a Rpi to serve it, else get something more powerful. Either way I recommend:

1. Having a no break with surge protection: I have my router and Rpi connected to a no-break, so even if the power goes down my site stays up.

2. Configure port forwarding in the router: I forward port 443 to some higher port, so in the Rpi I don't need root for anything.

3. If your traffic is very high consider getting another internet link.

There was also a heavy enforcement of IR35 in the banking sector, so that substantially reduced the access to talent pool.

There was also a tightening of posted worker regulations, so that banks couldn't ship workers from overseas as a source of cheap talented workforce.

That “price hike” depends on how many people buy the base model. If 90% of customers were spending $10k+ anyway, it might make economic sense to just not offer a model at the $6k price point.

>> Unless the owners of the new shop are more skilled than average

Why? It's the same workers cutting and styling hair. as when they worked in the existing salons. Many of their customers follow "their" hairdresser to whatever new venue they work at.

>> What about a coop shop?

There's another existing model for temporary hairdressers where they begin working at a salon and they keep all income from all clients they serve. In turn they pay the owner a fixed price to rent their chair for the day. AIUI this is no longer popular but i don't know the specifics. It seems to me that renting a chair should be a lot cheaper than starting up & marketing a salon.
I have a fitlet2(https://fit-iot.com/web/products/fitlet2/) that I use for hosting various services. It is fanless, 16G of RAM and 500G SSD. This is my NAS, and I am currently running:

- Jellyfin - Media Server for all my tv, music, and movies

- Nextcloud

- Photoprism - Picture Manager

- Yacy - Private Search. I run this in 'robinson mode' and basically use it to replace all my bookmarks

- Homeassisant

- Frigate - Monitors my cameras and does object recognition. I use Coral USB to move detection to hardware

- Snapdrop - AirDrop replacement

- FreshRSS - RSS Server

- Bitwarden - (bitwarden_rs/vaultwarden)

- Imapfilter - Filter/tag/run external software on incoming emails

- Vikunja - Task Manager

- Dolibarr - ERP Manager for side business

- Bookstack - Wiki

- Several Static Websites

- NFS (as a NAS)

Frigate takes the most CPU, even with the Coral, but it is doing object detection on several high-res Remote Cameras. Even with that, my load is < 1.

I run all these in docker (each that needs a DB has its own DB instance too), with nginx-proxy and letsencrypt-nginx-proxy-companion in front of it.

Most of these are internal only (I use the access=internal), and have an always connected wireguard VPN on my mobile devices and laptops. A few are public, but pretty low traffic.

I have a static IP, and am running this on DSL that is 30M/7.5M. My router is a netgear with DD-WRT installed.
