Dragonfly BSD is very good at being bad at taking constructive feedback /s

It was born out of disagreement about how SMP should work in FreeBSD around Northwood P4 era (first HyperThreaded consumer CPU). Around that time, every general purpose OS as absolutely horrible at utilizing more than one logical cores.

FreeBSD first gained SMP support at 5.0, and it was actually usable at 5.2. DragonFly BSD author had a disagreement how to implement it and though 5.x direction is bad, so, IIRC, he forked 4.x line and implemented his own vision from there.
Then it was "FreeBSD does it, so I'm going to do it differently", at least that's how it looks from an outside perspective.

So, it's good at SMP if we're going by that outdated classification of BSD systems.
Hi Matt, how do you find the $xx/month (billed annually) verses the monthly cost impacts conversion?

As a consumer I loathe the billed annual option.
As someone who routinely deals with hurricanes in the South - make your decision right now whether to go spent a few days with friends or to stay at home. If you wait too long the roads get clogged with traffic [0], the gas stations run out of fuel, and emergency services stop responding.

So far as preparedness, if you have an earthquake kit you should already have much of what you need. Just add a chainsaw and some large plastic tarps.

"The Books of Enoch" by Paul C. Schnieders is an interesting read if you're curious about their contents. The general consensus from my understanding is that none of the ones we have today are the one referenced in The Bible
Where do you live? If you're in the US, check if you live near an Ace hardware store; mine sells gallon jugs of 90% sulfuric acid for something in the range of $25. Look for Rooto brand drain cleaner, and if it doesn't say on the side of the container, you'll want the one that feels like it's full of heavy viscous liquid.

And Duda Diesel sells a liter of 67.2% nitric acid for $60.43, or $101.69 for 2.5 (plus shipping ofc).
It's just probability theory meets survivorship bias. The larger the team the more it will trend towards the average because the joint probability that everyone in the team is simultaneously awesome (or awful) becomes lower and lower as a function of team size.

Same thing happened with "small schools perform better" so they got funded. But turns out it's possible for them to perform terribly for the same reason it is for them to perform well.

Is it? Are they not all dopamine pathways in the end, with addicts emerging from all of them? Where's the evidence against that?

People spent decades arguing that rock & roll, Dungeons & Dragons and videogames would lead to moral corruption and decay. Turns out there is no evidence to support any of it in the end. The immorality was always "self-evident". That's not enough to justify banning something though as evidence has shown again and again.

Also, whose morality are we talking about here? Morality is all over the map depending on which culture you ask. Each cares more or less about sanctity, divinity, loyalty, freedom etc.

And you're correct, my personal opinion on this is irrelevant.

The APIs are convoluted and weird and have rate limits and daily quotas all over the place but no service costs to syphon data out afaik.

Perhaps increased limits are bundled into other license costs.

The free plans include Preceden branding on some export formats (like PDFs) which serves as a marketing channel because anyone they share the PDF with will see the timeline is created with Preceden and some will go on to check it out and become customers. Both paid plans remove the Preceden branding, which is one reason users might choose to upgrade.

Regarding adding a custom logo, that's mostly a need of professionals in larger businesses (think project managers at Fortune 500 companies), so having that on the top paid plan encourages those type of users to upgrade to that plan vs the cheaper one.
I agree that if anybody could do it then Apple could but I just don't think there's a market for it. The iPhone succeeded because everybody needs a telephone. Nobody has yet shown a reason for actually needing a pair of VR goggles. VR goggles just look plain dumb today and the concept art looks rubbish too.
I haven't been able to work remotely so I'm genuinely curious how that has affected you. Can you provide any examples out of curiosity... I'm assuming they're quite innocuous.
I truly wish more people were aware of this. The unrealistic expectations generated as a result of the silence around the topic is shameful.
There are some tricks with OpenBSD. First, with blueooth, if I recall, OpenBSD devs are not a huge fan of bluetooth. OpenBSD takes a security above all else approach I believe this plays a bit of a role since bluetooth is often poorly implemented by bluetooth devices, so there isn't a huge drive for it to work well on OpenBSD. Bluetooth is also a nightmare to implement and the interest in picking up the torch probably isnt there. Second, small dev team with limited access to hardware. If you want to get the best support for OpenBSD, I've always heard that running Lenovo Thinkpads are the way to go. Quiet a bit of the dev team mains Thinkpads for laptops and they dog food their own code. So the Thinkpads often get the fastest and best support.
> And the very act of gaining weight causes your body's set point to move up, because of how weight gain affects your hormones. Unfortunately the set point is pretty sticky, and once it moves up, it does not like to move back down, in part because for most of animal history, weight loss is a sign of starvation.

Kind of, but increasing doesn't go indefinitely either. People have multiple "set points", not one moveable one, long known among people intentionally increasing their weight as "plateaus".
Yeah when I tried the "eat a bunch of small meals during the day" way I felt like some constantly munching pasture animal and also had to plan for all that. And any social plans threw a wrench in it, as getting used to frequent meals also made me go brain hungry quicker.

Now getting some frozen pizza for dinner coz I'm lazy/don't have time no longer ruins diet pace for this week

> When I get that "brain is bored" style hunger I go for tea with a squirt of water enhancer in it lately.

Anything with a bunch of milk works well for me for quashing hunger. Weirdly enough I usually feel more hungry in the evening than morning next day (at the very least for first 1-2 hours)

That. The legislation is not forcing the choice on any consumer, it’s giving them their choice back by forcing Meta to ask the question in clear terms and allow users to clearly tell Meta they are not allowed to spy.

Now, if Meta can’t make a viable business model without denying users the choice, doesn’t that mean that their model is flawed? The thing is, for users to understand what they are choosing, they need to understand their right to privacy and why it matters. It took the EU at least a decade (possibly more) to reach the point where they are starting to apply this legislation.
My impression(i only really use openbsd)

Freebsd has the most developer resources and tends to be good at optimizing for speed but the userland always feels, it is hard to explain, but off, if you are fine with with the linux userland this will be a step up, openbsd, a step down. It has very good zfs integration and that is a solid reason for using it alone.

Netbsd just sits in the corner doing their own thing, I am not sure what that is but I suspect if I had not fallen for openbsd I would be using netbsd. A good solid small OS.

Dragonfly has an incredible main developer who has strong views about how parallel systems should be structured and the programing chops to pull it off. If you can take using a system with absolutely minuscule developer resources you will find real gems here, an amazing filesystem and very good multiprocessor support.

Openbsd strives for correctness above all else, speed tends to be a second class citizen, that is, if the developers have to make a choice between a simple obviously correct solution and a messy but quick one, they will almost always go for the simple one. speed is fine but not at the expense of readability. the system is probably the most full featured. With an emphasis on network daemons. but limited developer resources keep everything simple. I think of it as the best desktop system due to it's ease of administration and excellent ports system.
> It's crazy that AMZN announces this and the stock goes up in after hours trading.

No it isn't. It is quite typical for a companies stock to spike up after a layoff announcement especially when the number was higher than initially reported.

And as always totally expected.

This was an interesting analysis. I noticed that it says 200 pages for Metamorphosis, my copy (W W Norton) is 126 pages of large print, including a forward and afterword. It's really a short story.

Also, though I suspect it evens out, personally my reading speed varies a lot depending on the author. Orwell, or ironically Kafka reads pretty fast. Something like the Brother's Karamazof (which I've started twice and failed to get anywhere with) I have to read way more slowly.
I didn't know that. Maybe I was too hasty, and this was a looooong time ago. Curated lists would be helpful.

Which USB meter is this? I think you might be mistaking a 'cable tester' for 'testing a USB port of some kind through a cable'. The device I linked to just requires two ends of the same cable be plugged into it. You cannot do that with the 'USB power meters' I know of that plug into USB ports.

I have learned from a lot of commercial code. It doesn't mean I can't also write "free" code.

I find most things in all code to be generic and obvious. The same functions are used by lots of other software with just different names that there's nothing novel.

After you've learned to classify lots of functions with big O notation, you will end up writing things in an obvious way for a base-level optimization that fits naturally.
The Secrets–and Science–Behind the Norwegians’ Training and Racing Success
Market analysts often view cost cutting measures like layoffs as a favorable sign for near term growth. While it makes a lot of sense to view this as an indicator of trouble, it's more often spin as an indicator of a well led company that recognized the problem and is already on the way back up.

Synically, an argument can be made that those largely driving the markets are looking for any reason to make money. It doesn't actually matter much what the news is, just get ahead of the market movement then start turning dials and pushing sentiment.

That's garbage. We have a lot of things that work worse now because of health or environmental concerns. Leaded fuel gives way better performance but makes you dumb. CFCs are better and cheaper than the refrigerants we use now but put a hole in the ozone layer. Aluminium in underarm deodorant may give you cancer but it is pretty good at stopping underarm stink.

Technology choice is full of tradeoffs. Now EVs might not be there yet for this use case, but it doesn't have to be a 100% replacement off the rip.
I've heard this referred to as body "set points", and I've yet to see anything very convincing that set points are a thing. It doesn't really make sense that the body would "prefer" a body weight that is tremendously inefficient and contraindicated. More likely, in my opinion, what may be seen as a "set point" may be more akin to metabolic damage that simply takes time to heal once the pathology is actually being properly addressed.

Also, people simply can't be trusted when it comes to self-reporting of their own regimen. Whether it's not being honest with one's self, or being embarrassed, ill informed, or plain delusional, lots of people will report that they've done "all the right things" to lose weight when they in fact have not. It's far more common that people suffering from obesity remain fat because they are thwarting their own progress, or are being given shitty advice from crackpot dieticians, and less common that there is some chronic hormonal condition that can't be corrected by diet. If your pancreas is still working, as well as your thyroid, your pituitary, your hypothalamus, etc., you probably can correct your obesity without drugs.

But people want the "pill" or the "shot", even though the chances are really good that they could get most of the work done cutting out exogenous sugar and alcohol. And I can't necessarily blame them because I obesity drugs can be a life changing thing for those stuck in the 300+ lbs range. What worries me about these kind of drugs is if people think it's okay to get fat and prediabetic because they can just get a prescription. I guess that's great if they can, but that also seems like a form of low level megalomania of sorts, and results in one fewer thing for people to take personal responsibility over. It's good for the mind to put effort and work into something. It infantilizes the mind to allow it to not have to put rigor into anything.

The biggest question I have after building something similar is: what's the best way to break up transcripts into segments? You want the segments to be long enough to extract useful semantic info, but you don't want them to be too long either.
Yeah me too but I think there are as many "valid use cases" as there are quality "life coaches" - but I personally assume that's about 20% of total life coaches. The main thing I don't like is it seems like life coaches are selling a bit of a cult of personality. I'm unsure how life coaching differs from professional counseling or similar

Oops, maybe not that high-level. I meant, underneath the UI layer, how is the state/execution path of the emulated CPU efficiently recorded during execution and later rewound? Any approaches I can think of would destroy the performance. I have a toy emulator project that dumps the entirety of RAM every frame and I'm trying to come up with ideas to improve its efficiency.
1) It really wouldn't invalidate anything. For some people eating less than 3k calories means being hungry all the time and that's really, really difficult for them. They'd lose weight, they'd be healthier, but that doesn't make it "easy".

2) You keep calling my obese, you clearly aren't considering what I'm saying right now, I doubt suddenly knowing my caloric intake would change that.

You just described a couple of chapters from Fall or Dodge in Hell novel by Neal Stephenson. In there, someone manufactures this exact story nuking Moab, UT, and it goes viral with huge repercussions around the world for markets and politics. Eventually someone sneaks in and realizes nothing has been nuked. However, a big portion of people resolutely refuse to believe any evidence to the contrary and continue to claim that Moab is a radioactive wasteland for decades later.
Not sure what is the point of this anecdote. In any company of 7k people, regardless of how lean it's run, you'll definitely find at least one person in that situation. I think you're trying to say that Salesforce did the right thing to lay off 10% of its workforce, which would be quite insensitive in this context.

> if I recall, OpenBSD devs are not a huge fan of bluetooth

iirc, when they went to implement it in OpenBSD, it was decided the bluetooth stack was basically just too poorly implemented and not really secure. I think if we ever see bluetooth in OpenBSD it will be a rewrite by some of their devs; basically when one of them decides to scratch an itch.

Early learning should be focused on musicality and improvisation, not refined performance technique. Historically, even music in the so-called 'classical' tradition was mostly improvised. It's only in the late 19th century or so that technically virtuosic-performance playing of old repertoire became the only known standard of quality; but what those pieces of music were intended for originally was something quite different.

There'a been a comparatively recent revival in classical improvisation largely focusing on the partimenti and solfeggi tradition, that arguably points to a better way of teaching even 'ordinary' music performance as well. After all, even a "proper", non-robotic performance of a piece cannot be achieved without some appreciation for the musicality of "how the piece goes".
