Yes, it's a good move for people using control a lot. I am using evil mode in emacs so I have the escape in the same place.

I also use homerow mods which i find really great.

With the homerow mod, the homerow keyas 'asdf' and 'jkl;' are mirrors of 'gui, alt, ctrl, shift'

So the a key is an a except of you hold it down and press another key, in that case it is the gui key.

It works really well in emacs as well as on my tiling window manager where there is a lot of use of the combinations. (I have no idea why my font appears different)
I saw on the YouTubes that they can’t even physically turn the motors over without preheating due to close tolerances of the engine guts.
Google has ruined the web. Look what they did to recipe sites?? Truly awful.

And there used to be sites that answered the question on the search page. Google pushed them to the bottom.
It's like putting a dusty book back on the digital shelve, now you need to have a conversation to do a simple search query that's hidden in marketing gibberish?

I'm, still seeing the whole push in this product range hang with the call to make the search functions of most search engines more garbage than the actual chatbot.

As if Marketing is steering this ship.

I'm sticking to my own knowledge and trusted independent sources for now, no need to have something make up an entire world for you, just to trap you in a cage of ones own making for real this time?
Actually now that I think, I might've had NVIDIA card of sorts. But what I meant to say, I never needed/care what GPU I have (unlike before), so it must've worked fine somehow. Maybe I got once or twice the machine to crash, and it was all the time on.
Sleep was broken for a year on those with the amd platform. Based on 4 laptops t14s gen 2 iirc.

Latest kernels seem to fix it. But tbh I felt like a fool handing those things to our freelancers.
This is what I did the last time a phone died. Got the screen replaced, which was $120, but worth it to recover my 2FA setup. Then I switched to a better 2FA app. That was the only important thing on the phone with no backup. It lasted another six months before the new screen died. I could probably replace it again, so I could recover a few config files, but it's not worth the cost.
Nice guide, just curious are there more of these guides ?
AI will bring the final victory of spam over all forms of filtering and gate keeping that don’t rely on true identity verification.

Things like GPT-3 will revive e-mail spam that will become almost impossible to filter.

Captchas will be solved by AI.

Social media will be flooded by increasingly sophisticated bots programmed to push propaganda.

By 2024 we will start to see even video content in places like YouTube and TikTok mass produced by bots.

I think we are in the twilight of the era of open Internet forums and open social media. The future is invite only, paid, or will require hard identity verification.

Some other bullet point predictions:

- Elon Musk is forced out of Tesla.

- Twitter continues to spiral down along with much of the rest of first and second generation social media. Elon starts looking for a buyer but at nowhere near what he paid for it. The whole sector continues to deflate with Meta also continuing its slide.

- SpaceX Starship flies successfully but with some minor issues, and continues to take longer to develop than predicted.

- Cryptocurrency continues to deflate with increasingly frantic attempts to thrash around and find a new application to reinflate it.

- Russia agrees to a peace deal in Ukraine that keeps Crimea and a little bit of taken land in the East. The rest of Ukraine immediately joins NATO, making future attacks far less likely.

- Donald Trump accepts a deal that sees him barred from holding office. He is never arrested or actually tried for anything.

- Another major announcement on fusion energy is made from a different team, and we start to see a huge increase in fusion funding.
Due to background download restrictions on iOS, you’d have to open syncthing manually any time you wanted to sync your database.

So it’ll work, but not conveniently.
What is EventEmitter?
You can see the letters. They weren’t angry.
Arguably, but I was just agreeing that the analogy was poor.

But to your point, there is no need for an org chart if the tasks and assignments are identified and assigned collectively. Not that you’d know if from this thread, but there do exist non hierarchical systems of governance.
The internal security is doing fine without NSA and when their biggest "achievement" was making everyone less secure via encryption backdoors you gotta wonder about purpose of existence.

Private industries seem to do just fine when it comes to security and nearly none of the progress in security is due to NSA, unless you count "looking real hard whether NSA didn't try to backdoor new security primitive" as progress
I’m a bit surprised phones haven’t cause verticle 9:16 to become a bit more common.
Yes. It's in the GUI in both cases.
Both of the kubernetes operators are extremely good. Zalando's uses Patroni for HA, and CrunchyData's has their own HA impl. Both have great backup systems built in.

> Any way the Postgres DB can be setup in a fire and forget setup and scaled just by adding new nodes for read and write?

Generally I'd reply yes and no, yes, adding readers is pretty easy with these operators. No, postgres is generally single writer.

But the CrunchyData k8s operator (pgo) has active-active mode. I dont know much scalability this really buys, since ultimately everyone needs to soak the write load. There is sharding too, built into postgres, but I count myself as blessed that so far straight up verticle scaling has tackled every problem I've ever had and sharding hasnt beem required. Anyways here's a post on setting up active active in pgo, https://www.crunchydata.com/blog/multi-cluster-postgres-fede...

One thing missing from your post is any information on workload. What kind of data are you storing, what kind of use are you expecting,... it's hard to make recommendatuons in the abstract.
A local store had this on display for Christmas. Nine yo me gazed upon the dazzling graphics and smooth animations. It was almost as watching a cartoon. This was the exact moment in time I knew that all I wanted was
my own Commodore 64 so that I too could create such beautiful stuff.

Fast-forward 40 years and I am still making demos for the greatest home computer ever built <3

My M1 Macbook pro is connected to a Dell thunderbolt desktop docking station. This had caused me so much grief with the screen, that I directly connected the 43 inch monitor to the M1 rather than go through the dock. Moreover, the ethernet on the dock is wonky, often dropping out. This makes the work VPN sometimes ... challenging.

Was just as wonky when I had the windows laptop that the mac replaced. BSODs were common with it, and its crashed the MacOS machine multiple times.

Linux OTOH, doesn't seem to have a problem with the other dock I have it connected to. Haven't had a crash.

But hey, doesn't fit the "linux sux" narrative, so YMMV.
No normal person cares about either of those things except insofar as it affects them. That’s the point. Facebook acquiring some startup is as relevant to the life of a heavy FB user as P&G acquiring a consumer goods company is to a heavy user of P&G products. Oh, it’s virtual reality. Who cares? If it ever becomes genuinely relevant it will show up in real life. If not reading about it is a waste of time.

Remember, most people care about friends, family, work and things that come up relevant to those, and they mostly don’t care about work.
While I somewhat regret the tone in my comment, the whole notion that pointing out that you sometimes at least are partially responsible for your circumstances is called "guilt tripping" is weird.

It's not that my kids never are unruly. But I can almost always track it down to some failure from my side. I was too busy with something, or simply distracted, so I forgot to give them their snack in time, or they got to bed too late the day before, or I didn't pay attention when they tried to tell me something they felt was important, etc.

And while I'm aware that my experiences aren't universal. The opposite notion that I often hear that tantrums are some kind of unavoidable natural disaster is even more absurd. Yeah, if I bring my kids to the store at 5pm to buy dinner without giving them any snack, while I'm hangry yourself, stressed, and trying to think of something not horribly unhealthy to eat, they might end up screaming on the floor in front of the candy shelves. But my thought then isn't "why am I cursed with such horrible kids". My thought is "ok, I screwed up today, because this was predictable and preventable, and by now I certainly know better than putting ourselves in situations like this."
This idea reminds me of something I've read on some old blog post about enterpreneurship.

So, the guys starting the company were excited, because they said "We know the odds are small, but we don't need much, if just 1 in 1000 buys our product we're rich, as that's like 350K people in the US. And how difficult would be to get 1 in 1000 to buy our stuff with a little marketing? It's a great product anyway! Heck, if just 1 in 10,000 buys our product, that's still 35K sales, enough to bootstrap the company and make some decent profit! And 1 in 10,000 should be trivial!"

Ultimately, though the message the author of the post got from that business plan failing miserably, is that there's always the posibility of 0 in 1000 buying their product...

"Just get 1000 true fans" downplays the difficulty.
somewhat related, anyone have advice for data recovery from old external USB drives?

I have a couple western digital USB drives, about 10 years old. they show up as a drive when plugged into a Mac or windows laptop but they disconnect when trying to navigate the folders or open/copy files.
Not convinced. Sure an idle engine heat a bit slower than an used one, but all components around the engine, even a bit underneath, get a bit of heat. The cabin heated a bit allow easier removing of ice, plastic materials are LESS fragile due to the less freezing temp etc.

I think such articles mean: do not burn fuel for nothing, do not leave powered on ICE for long period of time, and I agree with that, but try to stating it offer something really good or really bad to expected car service life is a bit ridiculous.
Why this flagged? It's a simple news article that reports what he said.
regardless of your views on the titular quote, that discussion isn't really germane to the article which is simply investigating the origin of the quote.

so if I have any power as a random commentator to shape this discussion, perhaps we could talk about how the distortion occurred because of the placement/presence of quotation marks

and how similar popular misconceptions might have formed through punctuation.
Of course it didn't. Why would it ? Making stuff better is more interesting, unless you're holding "pick the most comical way to make something bad".
it doesn't take a rocket scientist to imagine how some of these AI Models could leverage a search index + something like wolfram alpha to generate a much more targeted and valuable search result.

Sure but the problem with the rocket scientists is they think about how good things can be, not how evil they can be. Sure, a chat bot could be made to give very valuable-to the end user results but as it will free like Google, results yielding-profits-to-company will be given, in the fashion you describe Google doing.
This is a great point.

Followup question - is LLM tech more or less likely to end up replacing search when those same incentives really saturate the LLM product itself.

One big difference seems to be attribution. LLMs don’t tell you where their info comes from. They just say what is (but can be asked to cite works - with mixed results).

Will LLMs get good at citing sources and if not will people care or will they give in to LLMs as a source of information that’s “good enough because it mostly works”

From a product placement / ads perspective, being able to persuade people to fully accept everything an ad-infused LLM says because it’s good enough seems like an incredibly lucrative product bundling opportunity if they can get it right. Esp. If they can use that to convince regulators they can’t annotate the difference between ads and non ads.

Seems pretty dystopian from a disinformation perspective though.

But not more efficiently.

Working with small datasets in memory can be fast, but larger datasets consumes more memory and cpu.

The purpose of a database is to efficiently store and retrieve data from disk — and limiting it to only the data you need.

Most database interactions are also over a network, which is always slower than (and in addition to) disk retrieval. This should not be done except when you cannot fit the data on disk (or work with it in memory) on the same system.

Services should not be separated except for the same reasons (exceeding computation or memory) for the same reasons (network, disk latency).

We used to perform billions of complex computations in seconds reading from slow disks and slow systems with much smaller memory footprints on single systems with single cpus.

This article is a parable for the consequences of not understanding that.

The Google and Amazon and Netflix etc white papers are about organizations that build solutions for applications that cannot fit on disk or in memory or be handled by the computation of a single system — and do not apply to 99% of application architectures that use them, including those developed by Google, Amazon, etc.
The screen might not be expensive. I got quoted about 30 quid once for an old Honor View 10, which I was surprised about.
> I see a slippery slope argument about law enforcement sneaking into quiet corners of private enterprise, I like to remind people that local police shoot people pretty frequently.

Indeed - from the perspective of civil liberties there are many issues which seem more pressing.
Maybe not, but it’s already very useful.
I suppose that right now the US is doing a colossal job of showing the EU how it's interested in protecting the Europe. The amount of total US aid to Ukraine, which is standing between the newly expansionist Russia and the West, is comparable or exceeds the EU aid, and its military part is significantly larger than EU's.

Seconded, adb tools is the best way to recover files in this scenario. No need to replace the screen as others have suggested.
Apologies for this alcohol fuelled rage comment but for fucks sake Microsoft just stop redesigning shit and finish the last 11 redesigns of windows, fix all the cruft hanging out everywhere and start giving a crap about your clients from a security and attention perspective. We are not cows to be milked for upsells, telemetry and ad revenue. We are also not caged animals to experiment on. We are paying customers who need a professional grade operating system that isn't a tragic waste of cash, time, resources, compute, bandwidth and attention.

And no Windows 11 is not it.

Nadella was treated like the second coming of Jesus on here a few years back. Turns out he's another one trick capitalist trying to push up revenue of a dying turd by sprinkling glitter on it and selling it to you monthly while pocketing whatever he can make out of your data.
> And telling people "but it's blockchain so it's good actually"

I did literally the opposite of that when I said "I don't know of any reason that a blockchain based offering couldn't find itself competitive in the marketplace unless their sales pitch is exclusively that."

Restated, I am saying that "but it's blockchain so it's good actually" is not a viable sales pitch. All the rest of my comment are reasons that I think are pitchable features.

You seem to have imagined me saying something I didn't and are arguing against what you've imagined I said.

> I mean we allowed the alphabet agencies to cooperate with social media companies to fight "ISIS propaganda." -- what did you think would happen?

I remember thinking earlier, it's kind of odd that teenagers "running off to join ISIS" was a widespread problem. In hindsight the shills probably blew that whole thing out of proportion to justify more agency scope creep
I’ve noticed that productivity tooling has been exploding in recent years. Note taking is another similar category where there is a ton of competition. Things were already ramping up pre-COVID, but ever since the WFH movement started, I’ve gotten the sense that there has been a lot of monetary investment in this space.
I still haven't fixed that on my Macbook, as iterm2's changes mess with Karabiner's changes. It is a pain in the ass.
1. It's an add-on, so eg. you have to manually wrap each React component in an observer(), it doesn't really interact with hooks (triggering or responding to updates), etc

2. It has some minor gotchas around object cloning, proxies, memory usage, and stuff like eg. certain functions have to be pure

But in practice these aren't big barriers; once you get used to them they fade into the background. And I've made stuff with MobX that I'm not sure I could have built with any other state management system. It's also one of the best-performing ways to write React apps because it can be absolutely surgical about only re-rendering exactly the things that need to update, even moreso than the official state management system
Also it’s not clear that the same AES key is used for all secrets. If it’s URL- or tag-derived using the master password then it’s only bad for long secrets (more than 32 bytes) that aren’t random data.
I’m curious about the other ways to fix startup performance.

I’ve seen a moderately sized (~300k LoC) Python CLI project that had a horrendous, anger-inducing startup time until they switched to the lazy import approach basically described/standardized by PEP 690 and the improvement was massive.
im writing python now as my current feature job

I will list some crap that is mine, and my personal view. not an expert on python, not a programmer designer. I'm 100% convince that alternative exist, or im complete an fool.

- self when writing oop/camelCase vs snake_casse others even better CamelCase_V1_magic_action

- classes with lower cases / strange names

- hundreds of lines of code per functions/ if/else/ etc. open sqlalqhemy and have a look

- if you want async/away you need to colorise your function

- __private__

- len/str, that is basically __len__ __str__

- package management

- map/select/fold/ dont exists. just use [x in y for x in list]

- := strange go var inside of if, that only work there

- if you dont return from a function, then, what the function will return?

a lot of web frameworks, that either copy(rails, sinatra, nextjs)

- a lot of junior developers, with junior code or show to us code

- python is basically a glue lang for c/c++ libraries

- complicated deployment.

- version management also a mess

- cyclic import exception. it sucks. i know im at fault but is tsucks

- people tend to write criple code, because python is easy. I think is a mistake.

- asyncio is hard. but again my view here :) looks easy on js

- I dislike decorators.

- i dislike multiple inheritance :)

- the str format demo.format vs f"{format}" vs whatever else

end of random rants :)
It's clear you've put a lot of thought into the tradeoff between these mutually exclusive wishes but I'd still encourage you to look for ways to spend more time with your folks. It's not all roses but it's been precious for me, personally.
Yep had the same realization a while back building something similar for our internal docs on notion for a hackathon. I realized that if notion just had a better search engine we wouldn’t need anything else built on top
How dare you, though?
> people would be completely outraged why the FBI didn’t stop them.

I doubt people would make FBI change for the better.

Suspicions of people paying cash at flight schools and not seeming to want an airline career was reported to FBI several times before 9/11. FBI filed it.

> That we cannot get laptops or even desk machines with ECC, and so have them crash frequently, is seen as a trivial side effect of the strategy.

How frequently would you say you encounter a crash that you can pin down to a lack of ECC memory in your laptop or desktop?
- Customer support starts to massively use AI chatbots. Remaining human support persons are universally annoyed when nobody believes them that they are humans.

- People start to seriously worry about AI outputs being black box and us not having a good understanding where it comes from and not being able to ensure safety and control over it. This does not stop commercial applications (as per above), though calls for regulation of the field intensify.

- Russia-Ukraine war turns into a massive quagmire where none of the sides make any progress but nobody wants to give up anything. Russia manages to sustain the war through 2023, even though at massive costs in economic development and living standards, while proclaiming they are winning next month for sure.

- Twitter survives and various celebrities keep publicly quitting it and quietly returning to it at the rate of at least one a month. Musk appoints a new CEO but keeps meddling anyway.

- Everybody opens a Mastodon account. Nobody really uses it for anything, or if they do, nobody knows or cares about it.

- Disney tries to expand copyright length again but fails.

- It is revealed that US government (via FBI and other departments) directly censored speech of US citizens on the internet on all major social networks, and continues to do so presently. No consequences to anyone involved, the revelation is largely ignored except for some

- It is revealed that the US government has implemented de-facto social scoring system, and is massively using it to identify "dangerous" people and "recommend" companies to avoid dealing with such people, or else. The Congress murmurs something to the tune "maybe we should have some oversight about it?" but nothing actually happens.

- Towards the end of 2023, after the current 1.7 trillion government finance bill ends, there is a major and widely covered "battle" about the next one, which ends up in signing another spending bill, this time over 5000 pages long and costing 2.3 trillion dollars.

- US Congress tries to make a serious attempt at regulating and controlling crypto, but fails making much progress due to it changing too fast and the lawmakers disagreeing on what exactly they want to do with it.

- Meta recognizes their metaverse is a bust, starts looking for the next cool toy.
