I tested restic a few years ago. Wanted to like it, since they directly support OpenBSD. I backuped roughly 4TB of multi media data. It took a week. After that I did a re-run. No new data, so it only took a few minutes. Than I added a tiny txt file and let it run again. It took a week again!

So I settled on borg. I use it for offsite backup. I did restores of individual files as well of whole snapshots after broken hard drives. There even was a time I used it with WSL to backup my parents data.

One theory presented is that Matthew and Luke were largely based on Mark. And that Mark was written by people "not with first hand account" (also, not Mark).

My take:

Mark has plenty of references to Jewish law - it was almost certainly written by someone with a strong Jewish background.

The names of the people in the book of Mark are "normal" names for people during the time of Jesus. A study got what amounts to a census during the time and location of Jesus - they documented the most popular names - and these names aligned with the names contained in each of the Gospels. This means that the person who wrote Mark was probably near Jerusalem during Jesus' time

The Gospels reflect personal differences in the authors... I haven't seen this yet in the Wikipedia article, but i expect to see it: Luke was Roman trained. Matthew, Mark, and John were jewish trained. Luke's account of the times when Jesus died are shifted by 6 hours. This is important. Luke believes that the day starts at midnight (like most Americans). Mark believes the day starts at sunset (like most Jews).

Mark and Luke had distinct authors.

I'll keep reading.

Thanks!

I'd be very interested if you chronicle this somewhere. A part of me long wanted to do the same with an O2 workstation, but in more recent years it became much less tenable due to the modern Web (half the web is already broken in minor modern browsers like Firefox), modern languages (Rust? or even Python, now that half of its ecosystem is dependent on Rust by way of cryptograpy), and modern tools (I'd be fired for disuse of Slack, which isn't open-protocol so that it could be used with a portable client).
I studied a little of RF engineering in college. It just seemed like a black art to me.
Existing FEA codes, including popular commercial ones are based on huge bodies of academic fortran code. Does this system replace all that (well maybe expect for stuff like matrix math and linear solvers) with a novel framework?

What kind of work goes in to validating correctness of these sorts a systems? A serious flaw in a FEA system could result in a substantial loss of life.

Pharmacies cannot and will not do that (except for insulin, for which it's now allowed in some states, and maybe a few other non-abusable things.) If it's a controlled substance -- which includes most things you'd be worried about withdrawal from -- forget it. If it's a more tightly scheduled drug, you'll have trouble even getting an unfamiliar doctor to prescribe it. It's not that they don't care about your withdrawal syndrome, but they generally care much more about not losing their license.

You could also just buy higher quality cables, right? The problem is usually that most consumers see two USB-C cables and one is $10 and the other is $50 so they buy the $10 one, only later realizing (if at all) that the $10 only does data, or only does 50W, or w/e.

But if you actually pay attention it seems like cables work as advertised with reasonable consistency, at least for me.

Most disciplines are ~ infinitely deep.

Sounds like this German university was a little behind in the 1990s:

"If you were a rising young archaeologist in the 1970s, you were skeptical of stories about Jewish kings. The ascendant critical school in biblical scholarship, sometimes known by the general name "minimalism," was making a strong case that there was no united Israelite monarchy around 1000 B.C."

From this article:
https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/archaeological-dig-re...

For a long time, people dismissed the idea that Vikings made it to the Americas ahead of Columbus. That changed in the 1960s:

https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/new-dating-met...

It was laughable until it wasn't. I could point out similar discoveries that have been made about the history of American peoples before Columbus arrived that 19th scholars would have found unbelievable. In the same way, many places mentioned in the Bible were laughed away by scholars until archeology started digging up lots of finds in the 20th century. Sure, plenty of people are biased before they start digging, but it's similar to when you know there's buried treasure in the vicinity so it helps narrow down your search. A lot of discoveries in archeology, science or whatever are made when people have something specific in mind that they're looking for before they even start exploring, and when they discover something, no amount of hand waving makes the discovery untrue. :)
Is that, by chance, a T500 with the T60 keyboard swap? I ran with one of those for some time, before the lack of graphics horsepower (I think it had a Radeon 3650?) ultimately did me in.

If you're looking for another cool upgrade, I also did a 1920x1200 screen upgrade on mine. I wasn't able to find a Lenovo-native part, but I did find a pin-compatible screen out of a Dell mobile workstation that fit mostly perfectly, after sawing off some tabs with a Dremel.
Neat. One thing I've wondered about SGI workstations especially: have you noticed any eBay deals on SGI add-ons that were once prohibitively expensive, but now very affordable because they're obsolete to the kind of people who used them?

(I occasionally window-shop vintage Sun gear like this, but SGI seemed to have more exotic unobtanium artifacts.)
This OS "upgrade" has been annoying. At least I'm not the only one with issues, and I have some of the same issues listed listed here. I hadn't seen them documented elsewhere.

I waited until the first point release to upgrade in hope of a seamless transition, but instead I've been keeping a list of issues. I've been meaning to do a writeup (or at lease a tweet), but haven't done so for the same reason I still haven't spent time trying to fix them. It's many small annoying things. There might be a way to fix some of them (like the generic icons for some filetypes, or my NAS not mounting at startup, or Finder constantly crashing), but so far I've decided to keep my sanity.

When he publicly talks about things I'm knowledgeable about, he just sounds like he's communicating with the public. My previous two companies did business with SpaceX, and my coworkers who interfaced with him all said he was pretty matter-of-fact and asked good questions for being an executive.

The internet culture surrounding him is pretty detached from reality. I can't imagine not wanting to hire a former SpaceX engineer into my current company because we think Elon did everything himself.

I remember hanging out with friends who worked for ULA around the time when Falcon IX was pulling off its first landings. We were at a party drinking beer, and they were repeating their company's propaganda as if the ideas were their own.

According to the article:

I’d describe Trump and Musk as similarly adapted to the attention economy. But it is a similarity of style, as you said, and not necessarily politics.

While Bush II was far from the inventor of executive dissimulation, his administration did have a uniquely dysfunctional relationship with the truth. But truthiness was coined by Colbert, a brilliant critic of that administration, to describe things that aren’t true but feel true. It’s regrettable, but increasingly over the last five or six years, that term could be applied with similar frequency to claims made on either side of the aisle.
Friend of mine used something like this to get from LA to the bay area.

The emergency procedures were likely put in place due to crew resourcing issues that were fallout from the storms. These procedures require more stringent review of sick requests to ensure all hands are on deck and are probably allowed by negotiated union contracts.

F/0.3 – The Impossible Lens – Building a Large Format DoF Movie Camera
Sorry, I'm not referring to "end user credentials" which can be salted and hashed. I'm referring to user data which has to be stored in the database.

For example, let's talk about the BI tool, mode.com. As a customer, I login to mode.com and click the "New Database Connection" button, where I get a screen to input the connection information for my postgres database: host, username, password, port, etc. If you are a developer at mode.com, what are the best practices to keeping `user_database_connections.password` secure? I can't hash the `password` column because I need to use the raw `password` when my code connects to the user's postgres database.

I'm assuming I should encrypt the information, so an attacker who does a databse dump can't read the `user_database_connections` table, but what else should I do? Keep that information in a seperate database? seperate microservice? etc, etc.

Other examples of tools which connect directly to the database(s) of the customer, so they store db creds of their customers in the saas database:

401ks were absolutely initially designed as a tax shelter (a way to defer taxes on income). It may have been a "loophole" at the beginning, but regulation and legislation quickly embraced it.

My contention is that a tax shelter that is subject to relatively modest contribution limits was not initially designed for the wealthy.

Defined benefit plans are great for the recipients, but we have also sort of proved that we are terrible at properly funding them. Making the future pay for present day promises isn't likely to be sustainable.
People invested in Tesla because Musk openly lied countless times about state of their technology. Everyone who had any serous experience with AI knew he was lying.

This is how I became Elon sceptic, as I know thing or two about AI, and when he announced FSD I knew it was fraud.
It is much harder to become more strict after adoption, even if it would bring considerable benefits.
> which the Obama presidency failed to truly heal

Hard to succeed at solving a problem when your actions seem almost perfectly tailored to exacerbate it.

I'm not going to relitigate the Obama era. Democrats seem incapable of understanding that the "clinging to guns, religion" comment, and the policies that follow from such a stance, were divisive.

Edit: Responding to the comment below because this account is rate limited:

Indeed, they did not. That entire "movement" is a stain on the GOP, and you are right to criticize them for it.

It's a great example of Trumpian nonsense Musk has never engaged in.

There is meaningful daylight between the views and actions of men like Trump, DeSantis, and Elon Musk. They are not "aligned" to the degree claimed throughout this thread. Though, I understand why it's politically convenient to state otherwise.
Any assisted dying program has very difficult factors to weigh to decide which set of circumstances warrant its use.

I'm surprised municipal recycling programs, or national governments themselves, don't try to at least educate people about this.

Where I live, the dumpster area usually has at least one information board or sticker describing what the colors of the bins mean, and what goes into which. It shouldn't be hard to also include an explanation like "Pay attention: ♲ - this is a recycling symbol; ♳ - this is a resin identification code".
Homesteading itself is a full time job. There are almost always things which need to get done - fencing, fire clearance, animal issues, gopher trapping, tree pruning - and wups, a fox got in the chickens last night. Etc. One of you is gonna need to be full time in this and it is still a lot, and probably you will end up paying people to do stuff for you anyhow if you can’t find time to do it. Not saying it isn’t possible - we kinda do it - but you want a fully committed other person with skills not just “oh that sounds nice”. Considering volunteering at something like an urban farm to get said skills before committing.
I believe we’ve equally proven that defined contribution plans are fairly worthless compared to pensions, when 50% of retirees have no retirement savings and the median balance of these accounts is in the low five figures, no? Workers are simply not lucky enough (to have the financial means), nor financially savvy enough, to manage this themselves across a lifetime.

From my last link:

> The median value of 401(k)-style accounts was $30,000 and the median IRA or Keogh value was $30,820 — not statistically different.

> The median total amount employees contributed in 2020 to their own IRA or Keogh account was $2,514. The median amount they contributed to their 401(k)-style accounts ($3,599) and pension plans ($3,257) was slightly higher. Future research will examine employer contributions in combination with employee contributions.

Come on, based on available data this isn’t a functioning asset accumulation system for worker retirement, it’s theater to keep the hoax going. Outliers are going to trot out their six and seven figure account balances, but they are just that: outliers.

Of note, this is a common pattern when programming embedded devices without an OS. You can set up scheduling using hardware timers that command an interrupt on firing. Then in the interrupt handler (ISR), you run certain code. Can be used for periodic tasks where the timer automatically resets upon countdown complete, or one-shot timers that fire when a certain condition occurs.
