Try saying no to eating out for 6 months every time and see how it feels. Every time your buddy wants a beer, your sisters birthday, after work celebration dinner for a late evening.

You don't understand, it's not necessarily as simple as "if I eat out, I die." there are manageable risks with probabilities weighted against being alone again and missing out
The current language has loops and Boolean variables. It is trivial to reduce a TQBF formula into a Meson program.

The entire issue is a red herring.

They climbed up a tree and can't climb down without losing face.

The correct way to handle the situation is to make the change, wait for everyone to cool down, and then pretend that was their position all along.
i first heard this as "journalism is what somebody doesn't want you to print, the rest is PR" which rings a bit truer.

somebody's success that they desperately want you to report on (like a shuttle launch or election win) can be news, but it's not actually journalism until you start reading beyond the press release and finding additional context.
If the article and discussion here show anything, it's that it's impossible to come up with a universally accepted definition of news.
While I don't do this anymore, I hosted Exchange 2010 for many years. I did this because I wanted to keep my BlackBerry and needed BlackBerry Enterprise Server, which only supported on-premise Exchange 2013 or under.
It's not nihilistic nor defeatist. It is saying that the playing field can't be this uneven and expect collective action. Which means there is a clear solution. Ensuring that no one is above the collective moral code.
Mats3 is a Java library which simplifies the use of messaging as inter-service communication in a multi-service architecture. It attempts to mimic the simplicity of the synchronous and linear code style you get when using HTTP/REST, while still retaining all the benefits of asynchronous and transactional message passing.

Mats3 is messaging with a call stack!

Mats3 is Message-Oriented Asynchronous RPC!

I've now made a website for Mats3 (https://mats3.io), and one for MatsSocket (https://matssocket.io) where I've put some documentation and attempts at explaining what Mats3 and MatsSocket is and how it works.

I would love to hear what you think!
The best part of that is that they actually made a bit of a wheel-centric UI just for this gag.
That would have the same effect - you would see "may contain..." on every single product in lieu of precise labelling, and then it would be the same as having no labelling at all.
Agreed. It turns out the data they report from actually has that exact thing in it: https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/popest/tables/2020-... -- I believe this change rate appears calculated against their 2020 census data and not the estimates from 2022.

States with most negative change rate: California (-0.9%), Illinois (-0.8%), Louisiana (-0.8%), West Virginia (-0.6%), Hawaii (-0.5%)

Five most positive change rate: South Dakota (1.5%), Texas (1.6%), South Carolina (1.7%), Idaho (1.8%), Florida (1.9%)

Interestingly three states did not have enough change to register: Kansas, Michigan and Vermont.
During the 3 minutes: mildly physically painful and mentally challenged. After, though, very rewarding — the adrenaline helps wake me up and helps me transition fairly quickly into a state of focus.

You're probably right: I probably need to start incorporating some better breathing techniques (e.g. Wim Hof).
Yes I host my own email infrastructure for my own business and personal use. The "plumbing" is IMO trivial. I have no delivery issues.

The headache is with people who want to do things which aren't in my "acceptable use" envelope. I know there are adversaries out there ranging from the simply venal and self-righteous to the outright evil. That ranges from spam to tracking to phishing to malware delivery; and from scanning for open relays to credential stuffing to SYN attacks and more.

I actively map and target adversary infrastructure (and sometimes the "friendlies" are useful idiots). I use and encourage the use of 1:1 email aliases (I wrote and support TruAlias). I mess with DNS; I mess with L2. So around here if something doesn't work, you'd better ask me or your designated contact if you're expecting it to. There is no privacy around DNS or netflow info on my network.

My support issues are largely people-driven / political, which shouldn't be surprising given the above. However overall the support and IR load is light and the most problematic and chronic interlopers are the self-entitled aaS providers themselves.
thats pretty much it yes. the reason they dont just say 2nd derivative is that the derivative isnt a geometry property. you can have two curves with the same shape but different derivatives.

curvature only depends on the shape of the object.
The local fox network affiliates aren't generally strongly connected to the news/misinformation cable channel. It would be like boycotting The Simpsons because of fox news.
I had a similar problem a while back where Google demanded a second authentication factor for an account that didn't have 2FA set. It asked for a previous password that the account must have had >10 years ago and I think the answer to a security question that I couldn't answer, because I always use cryptic responses to those and apparently didn't save this one way back when.
My rationale was that I wouldn't need any of that, because I knew the account password so there would never be a need to go through account recovery.

Either way, I found a solution to that on one of those Google user support forums: I had to not try and log in to the account for approximately 40 days. After that, it'd let me log in with just the password again. This is apparently because Google keeps flagging the account of getting attacked and requiring a second authentication factor for some reason and the timer for that keeps getting reset after a failed challenge for one of the account recovery factors.
After something between 30 and 40 days, I could log in to the account with just the password again.
It sucks how uneducated about basic things US voters are.

The Affordable Care Act is probably the most impactful law passed by Democrats in the recent past. In a survey of 2000 voters, a staggering thirty-five percent did not know [1] that the ACA and the colloquial "Obamacare" were the same thing. Bizarrely, an additional number didn't know that 'Obamacare repealed = ACA repealed'.

I cannot blame either party for playing political football when dealing with this sort of electorate.

Thunderbird is decent enough for me. It's easy to use it to back up my email and store multiple copies offline on SSD drives. I encourage others to use it as it makes GPG encrypting emails very easy even for non technical people in my experience.
The US Budget was $1.65 Trillion. If a couple billion fed every hungry child in the country (and yes, it would), childhood hunger would be a solved problem. And in the US, it mostly is a solved problem because of a combination of state and federal benefits that deploy money towards feeding and heating needs of poor families. There is also a child tax credit that outright put money in the hands of families with children (last year, I think?). All of that is already happening without your proposed (forced) transfer of the 1%'s wealth to their workers.

It's very easy to demand accountability of billionaires and supremely difficult to collectively hold our political leaders responsible. The law doesn't require billionaires to be accountable to the general public beyond obeying laws and paying taxes that are due, but our public representatives have higher standards to live up to, and our focus should be on them, not billionaires. All the wealth of American billionaires would add up to a couple years' federal budgets (or perhaps less than a year of federal and the top 4 populous states' budgets).

EDIT: The City of Los Angeles apparently spends ridiculous amounts of money on a per-person basis to 'solve' the homelessness problem (https://ktla.com/news/los-angeles-is-spending-up-to-837000-t...). This is just one example of ridiculous rent-seeking government bureaucracy and nonprofit hucksters. Money is not the problem, lack of accountability is.
That's addressed in the thread.
If someone said that covid cost the economy X would you claim that was charlatanism based on other unknowns, or would you accept that there is some broadly calculable cost of covid? If so then you can work out the cost of Brexit by subtracting that figure.

I don't deny it makes things more difficult, but unless you want to give up entirely on attributing costs to such things, you have to accept that the cost of Brexit is also calculable.
You’re saying the same thing that the parent comment said.
Yes, the current fillibuster rules require a 60-40 supermajority to get anything done, but the fillubuster rule itself can be changed with a simple majority of 50%+1. But the incentive structure is not there to actually change this rule -- both parties benefit from it.
Start with small talk! It's so valuable in establishing a baseline of "we're two humans in the same condition at heart, and the first thing I'm offering is a universally shared experience, and not talking crazy to you or starting a fight (physical or political or otherwise)"

A lot of people think it's just useless filler but it actually is so important and a valuable tool when meeting people!

Talk about the weather! I'm serious! And drop any kind of internal pretension about being too good for such an inane topic (if that applies to you). Embrace it as if you're meeting someone from a distant tribe, and you are both wary of each other, and you want to start things off on a good foot. Talking about things you know you both deal with and think about is literally perfect!
I will agree that land is a special case, but that’s why we tax it continually.

I think society needs property tax to perform well, or else people will horde control of land under the mistaken belief that they can sell or rent it for high prices. You need tax to bring people back to reality and force them to use it productively in the present.
So I've been a big fan of studying warfare in all it's dimensions throughout my life, including the causes of various conflicts, one thing I gave come to realize is that we talk about "the reason" for a war or "the cause" but there really isn't a single cause or reason, because for a war to happen you have to have thousands of people willing to march off and die and each of them have their own reasons and their own cause they were fighting for. I mean for Johnny Scott who marched off to war the reason for the war for him was to win a medal so Size Bradshaw will finally love him. Or the Crusades there were probably plenty of people who the war was about going and fighting for absolution of their sins by reclaiming the holy land.

At the end of the day there are as many causes for the war as there are people participating, there can be various factors that led to the outbreak of the war, and sometimes we are lucky and they are clear cut, but often there will be several different prominent factors and trying to attribute the war to any one of them is just historical masturbatory navel gazing, or more insidiously trying to rewrite history to fit an agenda.

So those who claim the Civil War was only about slavery are just as disingenuous as those who claim the Civil war was only about states rights. Ultimately these were both major contributing factors and trying to attach primacy to one of them is unproductive and pointless.

If you want a perfect example go ahead and tell me what caused WW1.
In my (laymans) understanding of economics, increasing all these wages will increase prices of things those people consume too, which will basically result in a marginally change.
I picked those examples specifically because they are enforced.

> Regarding drugs and guns — how is that enforced? Can’t see how a gun dealer would know.

All gun dealers must record form ATF form 4473 for each gun purchase, which specifically asks questions about drug use. If you say yes, you will be denied the gun. If you lie, you may face up to 5 years in prison plus $10K fines. If your state has a medical marijuana registry, this may be cross referenced. If you are later found to be in possession of a gun and marijuana (or evidence of use like a marijuana card), you are a "prohibited person" in illegal possession of a firearm. These still happen, they just get reported as "weapons charges" because that's what they are.

> Also, employers can drug test for nicotine, which is legal, and deny employmet.

Yes. Exim, Dovecot, SpamAssassin. In two systems: FreeBSD and Alpine Linux.

I believe we need to keep doing this sort of thing, more.

I haven't had the same problem as people widely complain when hosting their own email. FWIW since you ask, I put this down to:

Using a quality ISP. VPS is ok, but not from widespread bulk providers. It seems to me that receivers judge quality by the network (eg. AS number) it originates from, not IP address. So you're judged by the quality of your neighbours and what those IPs are doing.

Properly set up SPF and DKIM. Someone here was recently stating how impossible it was to host your own mail, but a commentator quickly showed they had misconfigured.

Switching off IPv6. I love it in principle, but in practice there are big providers breaking IPv6. eg. Hotmail broke theirs a month or two ago. Or applying more stringent constants to IPv6 receipt.

I don't relate to people who say you need to "warm up" an IP address. It seems they might be often trying to use bulk VPS/cloud providers who probably get a lot of abuse. I don't see it's in the receiving ISPs interest to constrain IP addresses which only generate small amounts of mail (by definition this is unlikely to be spam), and it would be easy to mistake the per-network reputation for this effect. Make sure you're not on the various public spam/block lists, though.

I always put something between the screen and the keys when I close it - not only finger grease, but eventually you get damage on the screen from grit on the keys or the hard edge by the track pad. A sheet of A4 paper was the thing for a while, but then I got some of the material you get in new laptops and use that now (it's made from recycled PET, and black).

Bad design, imo.
Should have happened sooner. I love my Model Y. It's the most fun car I've ever owned. It's also the most comfortable on long road trips and I can sleep in it in climate-controlled comfort without generating a gas that could kill me. I leave the house every morning with a full tank and never have to stop at a gas station. And my cost per mile is 1/4 what it was with an ICE car.

I just wish Tesla would focus on this stuff without hyping an AI feature that can never happen.

It's like what if somebody invented the world's greatest backpack? It's bigger on the inside than the outside, and it incorporates negative gravity so anything you put in it becomes 50 lbs lighter. And all that was true; it actually worked? But for an extra $10k, the company will add on the "anti-grizzly bear" feature which makes you invulnerable to grizzly bears while you're wearing the backpack. Except most of the people who buy the anti-grizzly bear feature end up getting eaten by grizzly bears. Whoops! Just quietly stop advertising the anti-grizzly bear feature and you'll still have a great product.
It's truer because it's tautological. Either somebody wants you to print it or someone does not.

I suppose the middle case is "nobody cares one way or the other", and it's true that if nobody cares then it's not news. That is at least a definition rather than a tautology.
In the context of one society where some forms of wealth is claimed as "birthright" and thus perpetuating inequality is what does not make sense to me... meaning it is not fair.
I don't think that changes anything. The important thing is it's not advertising for anything.
It can certainly be "or": rootkits can come from your machine's supply chain, and lie mostly dormant for many months or years before activation. Rootkits can get installed after a non-zero-day-entrypoint vector e.g. simply tricking the user into running downloaded malware. etc.
Small business owners already tend to clean their own bathrooms or delegate it as a minor task to an employee. This isn’t a particularly helpful answer

This is off topic but the term PDF just makes me cringe. I just got done uninstalling the entire Adobe Creative Cloud suite this past weekend and couldn’t have felt more relieved…Adobe Acrobat accounted for 2.4GB of space and the entire Chromium based CC took up close to 45GB. SMH! You can do better Adobe! I vividly remember installing Photoshop 5.0 back in 1998 with an approx 90MB installer and now it clocks in at 1.26GB.

I haven't been doing it this year, but looking at my answers from last year it looks like I have "cheated" day 24 part 2 and answered in 17 seconds (it was just a matter of adjusting a single range). There were also several "close calls" where it took me just slightly above one minute (day 2, 4 and 13).

NYCT was, until this year, operating R32 trainsets still limping along from the 1960s that were repeatedly life-extended as newer (1970s) train types experienced structural failures & delivery of their planned replacement trains was repeatedly delayed. It's obviously possible to maintain old trains, but generally expensive & challenging, especially when they're still doing 100,000 miles a year, and things clearly slipped.

Especially because the trains were operating well past their planned lifespan because their replacements were ordered but not delivered, so the major overhaul that would that would normally be done to life-extend a train kept running for decades didn't happen.
Yes. It’s farcical at this point.
You can have an email with custom domain without having to host it. Though, even for that, not sure how easy will be for a non-technical person to set up. Maybe there're services making it simple.
As time marches on and new versions of iOS become incompatible with older apps and games, I am glad there are people doing things like this which allow preservation of that side of computing history.
Very very very shallow statement in the title. Doesn't make me really want to click and read the article.
I am sorry to hear about that. The state of customer support is really sad these days. If you figure out how to get back into your account, you should make sure you generate physical recovery codes. That should prevent you from being permanently locked out of you account.
It is not settled science, but one hypothesis is the hygiene hypothesis, which proposes that exposure to certain microbes at a young age is important for the development of a healthy immune system. By over sanatozing our environment, we prevent exposure of young children to those microbes, leading to the increased prevelence of allergies.
California is a great state in many ways, but it'd be a stretch to say it's even half assed a solution to its housing problem: they've quarter assed it at most. And it does someone no good for a state to be great in many ways if they can't afford to live there.

The situation has been dire for some time, but all they do are small incremental steps towards building more housing, it's nowhere close to what's necessary. Unfortunately, the NIMBY, anti-housing sentiment is very strong.

> You experiment. It takes a lot of time, yes, but it’s not that difficult.

A failed experiment might cost you 8000 trees. It takes a massive amount of time, and money, to re-launch an experiment of this scale. And every re-launch, you restart the 3-4 year clock until trees are mature enough to harvest.

When you quoted me, you left out the part about how to finance all of this.

> Not every thing is about hustling a business to perfection and on the first try.

With an 8000 tree farm, that point is you very very likely have only one try.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all.
>I will keep it as green as possible, even if it cuts production by a big percentage. I'd rather have it fail that be not environmentally friendly. My life does not depend on it, I can afford to fail and that is why I want to try.

I'm skeptical that you're in a position where you can afford to fail, short of edge cases like "I just let the land lie fallow and pump no money whatsoever into it" or "I am a multi-millionaire already without the plantation".
> The only real recurring issue is people setting up forwarding to gmail.com/outlook.com/whatever

Since these companies are too big to communicate with us lowly humans, I've given up on the idea of them adding an option to allow this by designating a forwarding domain so the forwarding email server doesn't get punished for forwarded spam.

The fix is super simple: I've set up local accounts for people, and tell them to configure Gmail / whatever to use IMAP to fetch email from the local accounts :)
