For context, South Africa is now under perpetual ‘Stage 6’ load shedding, meaning that 6000 MW of demand have to be cut to meet the output of an ever more constrained grid and failing power stations.

This is even though overall demand for electricity is lower than it was in 2008.

I just buy a hard disk every other year and throw a google export there.
Good point. But something has to be setting those MAC addresses...

And it looks like, curiously, explicitly configured interfaces have their setup expressed as .link units even if networkd is not in use[1]. A comment[2] states: “.link units are honored by udev, no matter if systemd-networkd is enabled or not”.

It seems that .link units are nowadays interpreted not by networkd (which NixOS gates with useNetworkd) but by udevd (which it does not). The documentation for them (but not for udevd) even points that out[3] if you’re the kind of person who reads introductions: “link.link: A plain ini-style text file that encodes configuration for matching network devices, used by systemd-udevd(8) and in particular its net_setup_link builtin”.

The Difference Between Web Apps and Websites
I know some folks in the security industry. There is a crazy wide gap between capable security people and services and downright frauds.

To some extent that exists everywhere but at least say a developer who is terrible and can’t ship anything gets filtered out at some point. Security land is absurd.

All the security people I know are very sensitive about it and have in many situations felt the need to / have quit a job after a fraud was hired. They’re not dogmatic about security but they do care deeply about being productive and a sense that it’s their job to provide quality advice and actions.
Not just BMCs...'modern' (I learned this 6-7 years ago) network cards are pretty much seperate computers that handle dataflow up and down it's stack.

We had IDSes that were happy, up, network interface counts were climbing, but they were STONE DEAF to the network traffic we were actually interested in.
This happened in 2010 in USA high school.
I am fairly sure it has been used as evidence to get kids charged with terrorism, along with holding the wrong opinions (in the UK).
It's not that the change is or is not necessary; it's that it is silent and permanent.

We must also note that change interfered with the existing system configuration, by rendering one of the existing DNS servers unusable.
This gets even harder when the neighborhood you live in has a substantial population of visible unhoused on fentanyl. Kids will make generalizations as quickly as adults when provided with first hand observations, and explaining selection bias to a 5 year old isn’t easy.
Cloning VMs is kind of an anti-pattern anyway, it’s absolutely full of this type of foot gun. Just use ansible or similar and build a new one.
Windows 10 and later run drivers and parts of the kernel on their own hypervisor slots.

Hi all, thanks for all that attention to the site. I am super happy about that. A word of caution: I can only rent 4 GPU instances currently on AWS due to service quota limits. "Unfortunately" the traffic due to hackernews is too high for that. Sorry for any inconveniences. If you are having troubles at the moment, come back later or so. I asked for service quote increase but those take usually 24h or so.

Also, very little people actually pay so I can only afford so much.
Some of these at least were people posting to the socials which doesn't take any form of spying. I haven't seen an analysis of it tho.
Doesn't matter, most big car OEMs are going to stop ICE production somewhere around he 2035 mark anyway, whether there are laws or not.

Doesn't mean it illegal to own old ICE vehicles so, just that there won't any new ones being sold anymore.
Combustion emissions are terrible in California due to them being held over population centers, caused by mountain geography and prevailing winds. It makes sense for them to encourage EV uptake and outlaw new combustion vehicle sales. Air pollution kills, this science is settled. They also, on average, generate roughly half of their daily electrical demands from solar (per CAISO and ElectricityMap.org).

Wyoming has no excuse. It’s willful ignorance attempting to protect a dying industry. They’re attempting the same with their coal industry, so it’s not unexpected, just disappointing.

Yes. It's my laptop; no one else touched it.
Around this time last year there were only 460 EVs registered in Wyoming: https://www.wyomingnews.com/rawlinstimes/news/charging-forwa...

Most EVs in the state are visitors and the highways are going to be electrified anyway. This is going to do nothing to save the oil and gas industry.
Anaconda python and activestate python are products in this space, I’d argue.
They still have the same number on Senators, don't they?
who's fault is it then, if not the OS? that's basically the os's job; to isolate and manage the system's resources and access to them therin
Treatment should focus on both. That doesn’t mean that bad life circumstances are depression though; rather they can be a factor contributing to depression.

If you went to a doctor for type 2 diabetes, they would tell you to eat healthier and exercise as well as to take medications when needed. Your eating and activity habits are not themselves diabetes, even though they contribute directly to your diabetes. Another person could act exactly the same but not trigger diabetes because of lower genetic predisposition. And another person could have a healthier lifestyle than you and have diabetes despite that (e.g. Type 1). Lifestyle is a contributor while diabetes is the pathology.

Life circumstances can be a contributor, but depression is a pathology. An effective healthcare team will treat both.

I don't think they meant "not complicated to learn", but "never complicated to teach, once its time had arrived in the natural progression of the course".
Your first sentence does not make much sense to me. If somebody leaves your company for any reason, they should get to keep everything they earned to date.
There are genuine low performers, however, based on my personal experience, they generally only constitute 25% of the people laid off for low performance. If management has overinflated expectations of your project, you will be a "low performer". If you happen to do badly on a project with high visibility to senior management, you will be perceived to be a low performer too, even if your delivery on other projects was brilliant. If your last project failed, often because of external factors, you will be deemed to be a low performer.
Yes - this articulates my expectation of a VPN client.

DNS should be modified when and only when it is running.

That is not the case here.
I don’t agree that this is overblown at all, and I was primarily asking exploratory questions.

There is strong evidence of a major shift right in front of us in the form of new laws (federal/country-wide in some locations), legal dispensaries, and a new and exploding (legal) industry that is bringing in significant money. Main stream documentaries on Netflix about Mushrooms, a shift in tone regarding drug use in popular media, etc.

These laws are passing with increasing frequency because of that major shift in sentiment. If that shift had not occurred, these laws would not be as popular as they are.

Does that automatically translate to similar shifts for MDMA? That is less clear, but at a minimum, there is strong evidence that people do not buy the historical fear mongering that has always cast a shadow on marijuana.

Anecdotally, I know multiple people who now enjoy the occasional edible despite having very anti-drug views in decades past.

Minds are changing.
As I understand it, either 'always' or 'never' actually solve OP's problem. (edit: was both/and - both sounds like a bad idea.)

"always include" effectively puts you in phase 0 - if an update is being phased, you're an eager beaver.

"never include" effectively puts you in phase 100 - if an update is being phased, you'll wait until the phasing is complete.

AIUI OP's problem isn't that he wants these updates on day 0, it's that he wants his environments to be consistent with each other, which either of these options would provide.

We (as far as I can tell) use some parts of systemd-networkd by default (as in, even if you haven't enabled it), as MAC addresses via `networking.interfaces.<name>.macAddress` are set through it: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/65e07f20cf04f5db9921dc...

kstenerud: I assume you tried that option?

Edit: ah, you caught that in an edit :-)
Ugh. Yeah I was annoyed at that one. For one, I've been sober for about 10 years. Taking some mind altering substances would probably result in me waking up in a hotel room in TJ 2 weeks later. :)
I deactivated my twitter, after constantly checking it for updates and the like all the time. I don't miss it at all, don't even have urge to find it again. Think that might speak a lot to the attention economy and how fragile it can be for free apps. Twitter is doomed, the experience is broken, the recommendations were all trash and seeing promoted comments from people who paid to have a checkmark was like the most idiotic move I've seen in an app.
Add-ons cross over container boundaries, so I suspect other browser permissions do too.

You're solution is more bullet proof. For similar reasons I am hoping to add better profile support to Browser Routr.
What makes "invisible to everyone but you" a more "logical" interpretation of "shadow ban" than "banned but didn't tell you"? Are shadows invisible to everyone but you?
I would agree, but I feel the GP specifically talked about "Backup NAS", which is where my question pertains.

I do have a set of hard drives I exchange with my friend as "off site" backup. Neither my cloud service nor NAS keep copies/snapshots of previous versions of files; and I have too much stuff to create BlueRay let alone DVD one-off backups :0/
I very much doubt this will happen. Toyota announced it will continue to produce ICE cars, and other major manufacturers will walk back their vague "goals" once the utopian goals are revealed to be impractical. Or perhaps the goals will just keep getting pushed forward and there will be lip service paid to them during the annual Davos conferences.

Several US automakers may not make it, though. They are long past their sell by date anyways, and will probably go out of business after abandoning ICE production.
I can also highly recommend the Connections Museum.

As someone who has spent his career in networking and automation, it was fascinating to see the ingenious electromechanical ways people found to automate early circuit switching. In addition to the working step-machine, panel switch, and crossbar switches, they have a collection of teletypes and other miscellaneous curiosities. The power systems necessary to run the CO and provide dial tone to the area were also quite fascinating.

As an example, one of the small curiosities that particularly fascinated me was a device that read out the current time. This automated a minor facet of what human operators could do that the electromechanical switching systems could not: telling the current time.

Well, that’s depressing. According to this article cancer treatments haven’t advanced much in the past 30 years.
Yeah, that is not going to happen. The momentum that EVs have at the moment, I would be surprised if there even is a mainstream ICE car available in 2035.
My APFS container corrupted itself while working at Apple and Dominic was able to manually repair it enough for me to be able to mount it

Considering the impact on peoples emotions and behavior when communicating data (instead of just warning them of these possible pitfalls) is an extremely slippery slope that quickly leads to an impairment of the sensemaking process. Be it due to self censorship as well or a loss of trust when people recognize they are getting managed. In the end its not anyone call to determine what information and expected reactions would be better for other adults.

I find it a lot more fruitful to elaborate why the data doesnt support those conclusions. This way we dont risk slipping down this slope and instead actually help each other fix our errors.
I'm not critiquing the book. I am critiquing the site.
In the UK (and I assume Ireland), the term pension is used for more than just defined benefit pensions.
Housing without drug addiction or mental house services doesn’t end well for the housing, which is why housing costs are around $10k/month/person in many of these programs (at least in the Seattle area). You have to put asides funds for services and rehabbing the housing every year.
The very nature of "illegal" immigration is that is illegal... so who does having another law prevent this illegal immigration...
My first job out of college in 2000 had a two year vesting schedule. Every job since then has been immediate vesting, though one did wait until 90 day after starting work before matching started. Two year cliff vesting probably still exists but ends up not saving the company a whole lot compared to the bad impression it gives to potential employee candidates.
Seems you can start with way less than 30 instructions.

Remastering Colin McRae Rally 3 with SilentPatch
These tired arguments for AI art are irrelevant and all over the place. Nobody cares about the model output or an academic explanation of how diffusion works. It is all about the training data.

The issue at hand is that artists had their art trained on without their permission and violating the copyright.

I've just searched the dataset to find mickey mouse, marvel and some disney characters images in the training dataset.

So then it is trained on copyrighted material, and Midjourney and especially SD are building and profit SaaS on the backs of the work without permission or compensation.

Even that alone is a valid reason litigation, and I wouldn't be surprised if Disney joins in against this or asks SD to remove them from the next model release.

Just do the following:

1. Just ask for permission to use the artists work?

2. Train on public domain images, there are plenty out there.

It's that simple.
The players actively and successfully prevent reform. What now?
It's a hilarious and performative fall from grace from those who idolize free markets, say the government should not "pick winners", and rail against the nanny state.
These filters look "not enough" to filter very small particles. There should be more than one layer in them (judged by the pictures/imho). Also, a channel in the middle is needed (the "Dyson principle") for the particles being centrifuged in the center and not being just blown into the air again (just my humble engineer opinion).

Also, it needs to be taken into account that the virus filled droplets dry faster, the more dry the air is. But the more dry the air, the more the particles stay in the air. So maybe a good idea would be to prolong the way the air stays within the box and apply some heat or use a UVC lamp inside or something.

Otherwise, there is a possibility that the very fine droplets won't stick to the filter but being blown into the air again.

- still better than having a droplet-cloud waving through the room -
>The proliferation of electric vehicles at the expense of gas-powered vehicles will have deleterious impacts on … the ability for the country to efficiently engage in commerce.

Literal nonsense. Surely countries efficiently engaging in commerce don’t need artificial controls on which products they can and can’t sell
People repeating that stuff are true believers. The reality is that the politics of companies is complex.

I can think of people I know is big tech companies who were nearly fired. One guy ended up serving out a purgatory sentence as a CE because his boss got whacked. A year later, he’s an SVP when a friend of the old boss took over.

Ditto the opposite. A friend in a bank collects low performers purposefully to protect his core teams. He dutifully offers some cannon fodder up when the company demands tribute to the volcano gods.
Stripe handled the layoffs incredibly well, in my opinion as someone who was laid off.

The package was more generous than it had to be. The founders took responsibility and were transparent about the business. It was handled reasonably.

I would work at Stripe again.
I guess that depends. Do you want those things and feel like time is running out to get them? If so, maybe not the best for your mental health.
No it's not standard practice. It's done in some companies but not that many. For those firms that do this, most waive it for redundancies.
California

Ever been to LA? No, obviously. But I assure you the smog there is not "performative."
It works for specific videos being presented repeatedly, which I believe was the complaint here. There’s also “Don’t recommend channel”.
You just needed to actually read the documentation and use sysprep (ideally with an unattend file). Just remember to image it before sysprepping since you can only run it a few times. There are a ton of things sysprep does that are really helpful and not handled at all by tools like that.

Microsoft doesn’t care if you clone systems, (why would they?) they care about the volume of help desk tickets created by doing it wrong.
It would be the equivalent of a U.S. company clawing back a not yet vested 401k contribution, which can happen. It is the whole point of vesting.
Yeah every iteration of this question in the GP thread is bad and has the same ambiguity that means the gotcha of "haha your interpretation of this poorly worded riddle doesn't match the answer I had in my head, checkmate" seems weak.

Possible answers:

- 19 chairs, least likely answer given the original

- 18 chairs, 10 of original 19 removed and 9 added

- 28 chairs, 19 chairs in the room with 10 in active use and 9 new chairs added

Just seems like a question a human would fail too. Probably opens a can of worms on interview questions and personal bias etc too in a more general sense. Not bias in the political sense, just how interview questions encode a lot of the asker's assumptions.

Edit: the only unambiguous phrasing I can think of is "19 chairs are in a room, 9 of the chairs are green, how many chairs are in the room?".
If anyone wants to understand the Fourier transform, I can recommend the book "Who is Fourier: a mathematical adventure". It is supposed to be a children's book. It was very clear and intuitive.

I'm happy to see such well crafted website. I will save some time to work on a translation into Brazilian Portuguese. Brazil is under an escalating process of judiciary dictatorship in which a significant portion of the population will suffer oppression from the government at levels never seen in country's recent history. FOSS and strong cryptography must be Brazilians digital tooth brush and paste from now on.

In case you do or will do business with Brazil soon, I recommend watching recent Glen Greenwald videos in Rumble about what's going on in the country.
I used to laugh at Americans for constantly ranting about freedom and guns. The last 3 years has shown me that it is something we should have valued in Europe.

Same here. GPS tagging in social media is certainly a thing. There are programs and groups of people that can identify locations from a single obscure photo. Then there is GPS data in some photo apps that add exif data. So many options one must assume phones are just loose lips [1] even without factoring in App, OS, Firmware and Baseband Modem backdoors not to mention instant location from satellites.

In my opinion soldiers should be given instructions how to back up their phone contents then hand all tech devices to a range safety officer to put into a belt fed target practice system to give them some closure from their dopamine devices.

Curious how you figure it's the only "reasonable interpretation."
I’m not familiar with Irish pensions, but in general if the benefit has a vesting schedule that means you earn it over time.
If you leave the company for any reason you get to keep the part that’s vested, and not the remaining unvested part.

The situations are quite different. For one, California's laws do actually influence the auto manufacturing sector. They're typically the tip of the spear when it comes to things like emissions standards. Because the state represents such a big part of the auto buying market, it's usually easier for manufacturers to go along with the regulations (rather than introducing separate supply chains for vehicles sold in various states).
