As I said, I haven't made the time: it's not just installing DFly, I've got to convert all my backup code to work with HAMMER, track down issues, figure out updates, etc... Really the thing I want to try about HAMMER is the deduplication, ZFS deduplication perpetually seems to require more RAM than I have to give it

HAMMER2 is really impressive, and Matthew Dillon's work on it and the rest of DragonFly is spectacular. I guess I feel like DragonFly is limiting the exposure that HAMMER could have. I know long ago there was an early aborted effort to port it, not sure it was ever very serious.
I suggest reading the actual complaint. Your interpretation is wrong.
I know Europe isn't as anti climate change as US but I really hope rhat the world atarts taking this seriously

When Europe is as hot as Asia during summers and as hot as Asia during respective winters that clearly proves beyond a shadow of doubt that global warming is real

Because Trump had said "it is snowing here" to justify xlimate denying. They have extreme polar vortex over there so they haven't yet faced the severity of climate change, I think.
And you can add the water and power that was wasted before that...snowcanon's...bring up food and beer so the skiers can eat a schnitzel and drink a beer there, and about 70% come with their cars, and all the helicopter flights and explosives to prevent avalanches, oh and the nightly Snowcats to make the slope beautiful.

It's a massive waste of energy overall.

Go argue with Wikipedia.
With creative common and GPL there is a fairly common practice that work include multiple authors and rights holders. When a single user uploads such work to a hosting provider, the permission given to the provider will be limited to the permission that the user had. They can't give out permissions that they themselves do not have.

It is a similar case when a single user uploads a movie or game to a pirate torrent site. The site can have a terms-of-use that gives a license to the hosting provider, but naturally the users who upload the content might not have the permission to grant anything to the hosting provider. Depending on how much the hosting provider is or should be aware, hosting the content can still be illegal.
> So that first one is about solving an advent of code problem cleverly.

Ah but it's not just about that, it's also about figuring out what problems can be fit into bit twiddling, knowledge about bitwise operation (especially that xor is self-reversing so it handles set/unset as well as pairs), and the ability to reduce effective complexity.

I agree it's not useful if you're currently on a quest

> to get better at writing code that's easy to read and change

but thinking of it as "solving an advent of code problem cleverly" misses most of the information.

Love this thread, here is mine:

Hardware: Synology NAS (DS420+)
Software:
- Synology DSM – Was actually quite impressed by Synology's software. It is a tad quirky but can usually be worked around but all in all pretty good. (https://www.synology.com/en-us/dsm)
- Plex: not in love, but it gets the job done, definitely gonna use this thread to look in to replacements (https://www.plex.tv/)
- Syncthing: i love my magic folders that just sync stuff, amazing software (https://syncthing.net/)
- Docker: most things are hosted out of Docker (https://www.docker.com/)
- cloudflared: effortless external access for all my stuff + all other Cloudflare goodies (WAF/Zero-Trust). Good piece of mind to not have to ever open ports on my local network and let CF just take the brunt of the Internet. Also used as a local PlaintextDNS=>DoH proxy that is hooked up to NextDNS (https://www.cloudflare.com/products/tunnel/) [disclaimer: I work for the big orange cloud company, so sorry if the previous sounds like an ad, I do really like the software we make].
- FreshRSS: quite silly to do a cloud version of this when it is quite easy to host on your own. It works good, but I feel a strong itch to write my own version. (https://www.freshrss.org/)
- Metrics: prometheus node exporter. I do have grafana hosted in the cloud, but I've been meaning to move that to my local server.

The list will definitely grow after reading this thread :D
You're right, but GitHub's TOS doesn't (or at least shouldn't) change the conditions of the original license. You're giving GitHub a copy of the source code, not the ability to dictate your license for you. There's certainly a lot of legal ambiguity in the copyright sense, but one thing seems clear: Microsoft trained Copilot on code they weren't certain they could use.
This is something I’d talk to a professional rather than online.
I think it wouldn't be enforceable in a consumer service (at least in my jurisdiction, see a German court ruling against WhatsApp banning a user for using a third-party client by claiming doing so violated their ToS).

But given that implicitly or explicitly GitHub users act more like users of a commercial service (remember: commercial doesn't mean paid or b2b), things might be different given that consumer protections don't necessarily apply.

Personally I'd love to see the same "you can't hide surprises in your ToS to obtain 'consent'" yardstick be applied here though, commercial service or not.

A criminally under-read book. I’ve recommended it to so many people.
The survival of a few villages is an issue that pales in comparison to the issue of climate change.
When considering which corporate bodies to trust, I consider their public statements and policies, their historical behaviors, and reports from other users of their services. The FBI’s official policy is to harasses individuals they place on secret watchlists. Historically, the agency has been one of the most corrupt from the beginning, especially the Hoover era, and has never gone through a period of substantive reform to resolve these issues. Additionally, multiple victims of crimes who have reported their situation to the FBI have either seen no positive actions or have even been harassed themselves by FBI employees. Currently there’s a severe shortage of reputable cybercrime security providers that also have enough capabilities to enforce the result of investigations, but the FBI is such a poor organization that it would be foolish to even consider requesting their services.
But the thing is that we explicitly allow humans to learn and develop their own skills learning from other humans, but we have our own taboos around directly copying peoples work without permission and passing it off as your own. The debate is that copilot isn’t a human, it’s a machine that outputs copied work on a statistical basis.

Humans are allowed to be unoriginal, uncreative, boring, mediocre, and all sorts of things. But they’re not copying whole cloth the way copilot is.
Humans aren't machines, so it won't affect education at all. This argument is a distraction.
Packaging is like insurance, because it’s usually not needed but it’s required to be used 100% in order to mitigate infrequent events like dropping a package. Most packaging is close to optimized for cost and protection of the contents relative to their value, think Pringles cans. An iPhone or MacBook is a $1000-3000 computer, $10-100 in packaging is normal for that sort of product. If I buy a heavy machine from Europe it’s going to cost 10% of that machine just to crate it and another 10-15% for shipping oversea. I don’t complain about that cost because I know it keeps my investment intact during transit or storage.
YMMV but I personally have never faced either problem having written tens of thousands of lines of Rust at this point. But to be honest I never worked on a large team of Rust engineers.

One of the benefits of Rust is that it gives you an option to switch to imperative style if thats what you choose which isn't the case for Haskell or purely functional languages.

Tacit programming was never a problem as the IDE does a pretty phenomenal job of telling you the types anyway. If the IDE can't figure out the type, the compiler won't either.

non-const references in a single object can simply be solved by making the whole object mutable, which is essentially what Python et al. do for you anyways.

I never had to use any unsafe code or pointers. Not sure if that way of thinking is carried over from C and C++ engineers. The only time I think I use Cell or the like is if I have a global static variable that I need to fill in at runtime. But that is more of a code-smell for most or at best a more advanced programming design that beginners don't need to worry about.

The best way to solve the last problem is to understand your data model from the start and make what objects need to be mutable mutable.
Rather than listing everything I'm hosting at my home server, I'll just share what saved me the most time, repeatedly:

Mirrors of various package repositories I use.

I'm currently mirroring npm, crates, Arch packages, clojars, maven and some other things, then all my machines (desktop, servers and laptops) point to the mirror rather than directly to upstream. Some of them are mirroring dynamically (basically a cache at that point, do this for npm for example) while others I fetch the entire repository and keep on disk, cleaning out old packages when needed (I do this for Arch packages for example).

Best benefit is that downloading stuff and updating my machines takes seconds now, even if there is multi-GB updates to do, and a secondary effect is that I'm not impacted by any downtime from npm et al. Saved my bacon more than once.
It's hard to define "doing anything". Yeah, a lot of domain squatters are obvious, but only because there's no reason not to. If you passed a rule that domains had to be "used", they'd do whatever minimal effort it took to "use" it. There's no rule you can define that can distinguish people genuinely making little effort on their own pages (like a resume that hasn't been updated since 1997) and a squatter pretending.

The main thing being done about squatters is that squatting costs money. Not much, but when you multiply it by thousands of domain names, it adds up. If you have a thousand domain names, and you can only sell one a year, it will force you to charge tens of thousands of dollars for that one you sell just to break even. And that keeps people from buying your domain.

It does lead to a deadweight loss: people squat, looking for an easy payday, losing money while costing everybody else the opportunity to use a domain for something useful. That sucks. But there isn't any way to improve it that doesn't make something else worse, so we live with it.
> Statements like "you are wrong" indicate more confidence to me than statements like "I believe."

Well, yeah, but my confidence is grounded in knowledge because I've actually read the book.

(Also, you made two statements. The one I was criticizing was not qualified by "I believe" but rather simply stated as a bald fact.)

> Are you familiar with the is-ought problem?

Yes.

> If so, what do you make of it? How does that fit with your understanding of evolution as creating moral good?

You are moving the goal posts. The statement that you made which I was criticizing was:

> I believe that book addresses how certain behaviors may have evolved. That is UNRELATED to whether those behaviors are in an abstract sense "right" or "good". [Emphasis added]

So I did not say that evolution "created moral good". What I said was that the claim that "evolution is unrelated to whether behaviors are in an abstract sense 'right' or 'good'" is wrong, i.e. evolution is related to whether behaviors are in an abstract sense 'right' or 'good'. But I did not say how it is related. If you want to know that you will need to read the book.
So the real issue is 'Hashflare did not have sufficient assets to cover balances in all customer accounts'.

Will We Know Alien Life When We See It?
Hi mp85,

Thanks for taking the time to respond. I took a quick look at what you linked. These are indeed great features and for me as an individual they would be more than enough.

But most people that use zoom or teams do it for work or school so that means integration with outlook, gmai/gmail-calendar and such. The reason is, people need to be able to send out meeting invites natively in the tool but also work with whatever calendar solution people are using to schedule meetings.being able to limit access and record calls (and share recordings) are vital. I couldn't tell if these things are supported already but having those features in my opinion will help the product get adoption.

Also, personally, I liked being able to chat someone and in the same context share a screen and if I want upgrade that to a full videocall in Teams. Element via Matrix can already do that and is opensource.

I wish you success with this product, I prefer solutions like this myself than be at thr mercy of zoom and MS.

Good you don't download them, that would grow the data hoarder HDD rack pretty quickly.
Recently the water pipes in our barn exploded because of a hard freeze. None of us thought to leave the water trickling over night as we should. In response, I wrote a script that sends me an alert via ntfy that explicity says "Leave water trickling, it will be freezing tonight", as well as "Roll up windows, rain expected". I use sqlite to track notifications already sent and not spam myself, and for historic forecasts in case I ever want to play with that data.
The opposite of information hoarding is not unexciting, mind-numbing work. The opposite of information hoarding is doing what you want to do.

If somebody can do something nice, and still does information hoarding, things become interesting.

That's why it's more than a habit:

>Repetition compulsion is the unconscious tendency of a person to repeat a traumatic event or its circumstances

Information hoarding is the perfect repeatable event. There is an almost infinite supply of rewarding ideas and there is no physical obstacle building up that triggers invention from somebody else.

With those conditions, any traumatic event, any drama, can be projected onto these situations until the lesson is learned.

The cruel paradox of the information hoarder community is that they haven't managed to create a list of information that helps to resolves their unfortunate condition.

Calling an API without hypermedia a “level two REST API” is like calling a lettuce and tomato sandwich a “level two BLT”. You’re missing an intrinsic piece of the puzzle and anybody actually expecting a BLT is going to be disappointed.

The reason they used quote is outlined in the proposal:
https://open-std.org/JTC1/SC22/WG14/www/docs/n2626.pdf

TL;DR is that it's because C++ uses quote. The reason C++ uses quote (they considered underscore) is because of a very obscure feature of C++ called custom literal suffixes which I'd never even heard of, but numbers can be suffixed with a custom identifier, and since single underscore is a valid identifier you can't use that.

> Sometimes monitor cables themselves were the culprits.

The Sony 17SE1 I bought was positioned as a relatively high end display. (Maybe something you'd see on a workstation class machine.). The video cable for it had DB-15 at the video card, but the connection to the monitor itself was five separate BNC connectors. Presumably that allowed better performance with DB13W3 and the like, although I never used that.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DB13W3

> For example NEC's PC Engine was known for having really sharp, vibrant composite output. Most models of the Genesis/Megadrive did not. Etc.

Interesting... I only used a PC Engine once or twice, but I do remember it having better than average video quality. At the time, I attributed it to the better video processor, but it's easy to believe that the analog section was that much better also. (Particularly given that it was composite video, and all the weirdness associated with that.)

> I'd argue that Paizo and Paradox are also decently sized competitors that could go head to head with Wizards in a legal battle if they had to.

Could they?

This almost looks like a poison pill to me. If WotC was forward thinking enough, back in the 3.0 days they used the OGL to trick competitors into a trap.

As time has gone on the main competitor to 4e is now Pathfinder... thus taking the oxygen out of the room and leaving less space for non-OGL competition.

Now Paizo has enough of a real business built on Pathfinder, but not the endless war chest of Hasbro. It seems to me like they would probably need to cave and make a deal with Hasbro rather than try to carry on some kind of fight that puts their livelihoods on the line.

And as a player I can be dismayed with what Hasbro is doing, but knowing that Pathfinder is at risk now I have no reason to switch to them. But there's no obvious alternative to 5e and Pathfinder that has any real traction...

there are taggers for time and files too.

What happens if you download the install script and edit it?

I don't have a windows machine at hand right now so I can't check myself.

Something like this:

curl https://clickhouse.com/ --output install.sh

Then open install.sh with your favorite text editor, and replace the first 58 lines with code setting the `OS`, `ARCH` and `DIR` variables as suitable (you might get away with OS=`linux` if the Windows Subsystem for Linux is installed?).

There's also code that github themselves uploaded which they were permitted to do under the open source licenses in the mirrors user. I know some of these repos have since been moved as the authors became active on github (e.g. mirrors/linux is now torvalds/linux, indicating Linus has control of it even if it's a read only mirror), but I'm sure there's a few of them remaining.
