Word. Yeah, I'm not sure there's much to be done.

My response most of the time is to just shrug, and be like government's gonna government. Most of the folks in the scene that I've met that are pretty far out, mean well, but perhaps aren't the best at logically explaining their views.

Others I think have probably opted out, or 'dropped out' as 'ol tim leary would suggest. Without the ability to materially affect change, I think folks turn toward things they can control. Such as expanding their consciousness, and other forms of magical thought.

I've managed to keep one foot in both worlds. (the squares, and the wooks) Because, life is too interesting not to. Keep your feet on the ground and your head in the clouds as they say.

I mean, hey, even the government itself was very interested in the nature of consciousness. Even weaponizing it for intelligence purposes. Have a look through the CIA's declassified STARGATE program:

So, perhaps levitating the pentagon, or meditating in vortex's isn't totally out of the question. Who am I to judge? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
They're frauds posting a fraudulent paper on a pseudoscience website.
The mission was really about two things: 1) Does this design actually function as expected when we go to use it 2) How much deflection actually occurs. The second may sound like something you can answer with Newton but as the article points out:

> “The amount of momentum that you put in the target is exactly equal to the momentum that the spacecraft came in with.” But if ejecta flies off the asteroid after impact, physics dictates that the asteroid can get an extra boost, said Cheng. “You end up with a bigger deflection.”... That’s a full 33 minutes shorter than its original orbital period, a finding that implied that a substantial amount of ejecta was produced.
One could philosophize about whether an earth without humans would be better or worse.. but there is no good or bad in the known universe that exists outside of the shared fever dream of human cognition.

In that sense how is one configuration of motile matter any different from its potential successors?
I put my new feature behind a beta flag or experiment flag. If the flag is off for a user, they don't see it.

Then I turn it on just for the user I test with in prod. Then I test in prod.

When it's time to enable the feature for the rest of the users, the same system let's me slowly dial up which users can see the feature. This separates deployment from launch, which is also a great best practice.

Yep, same. I was always mostly against legalization not because I think it's some evil drug, but because the smell is absolutely stomach turning to me. In a perfect world, it would be legal, people would be polite, etc. But our society is decidedly impolite. I have to avoid a lot of public parks in my city because they smell like a skunk orgy now.

Still, I'd rather it just be nuisance fines and such than sending people to prison for years.
I'm guessing this is primarily a generational thing. Boomers got a very different education in practice than Millennials.

My point was that the saying itself is wrong and a bad meme (the ethics of it were secondary to my argument) and I linked to where it originated to show that it wasn't even a thing in the first place.

Explaining the meaning of a bad meme is not interesting but if you are still asking what it is supposed to mean then here goes:

The first half is obvious because it is a tautology. It states that "An X is an X."

The second half implies that unhappiness pushes one to become a philosopher because they start thinking about how they became unhappy. Why? Who knows. Most unhappy people do not become philosophers, but some might. Also, not all philosophers are unhappy. Also, gender and being married or not have nothing to do with becoming a philosopher.

You are correct that it's confusing why the implication should go without saying. It's because it doesn't. It's a simplified rewording and further generalization of a misattributed misquote meme that is itself a generalization and mischaracterization of a dialogue line of a philosopher describing his own situation and his own choices.

As for why happiness is less productive then unhappiness, there is this gem of an explainer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWkq7btSQvs

I guess I could see some use cases in places that can't farm grain but still want some farmed locally for strategic or protectionist reasons. But on a pure cost basis I don't see how this will ever be competitive with growing grain under open skies in suitable locations, and then shipping it where you need it. At least not on earth.
Generally, no. I have been known to point my local instance to production database where I am now as it's easier to get the dataset where an error occurs. I don't do anything that requires changing the data, strictly selects and views. I make a point to switch it off production ASAP.

I would prefer not having to do that at all though.
Good bindings between Python and Rust are a win all around.
In most of my projects I made sure that there was always available a recent (1) copy of the whole Production DB - this is mostly used be able to replicate erroneous behaviour in a controlled environment.

But it is also useful to get very close to "test in prod" without actually risking anything.

Actually executing data-changing code for testing is actively discouraged, though.

1) the current system takes a snapshot of the production db at the end of the day and uses it to repopulate from scratch this "staging" environment. In past cases I had to accept less frequent updates, though.
All these components makes me appreciate on how small we can create something. A CPU seems somehow trivial, because most of these components are composed of multiple and different materials, with moving parts often.
Escalating fines along with literature on how to remediate. Though for incorrigibles some jail time would be nice. Some people think they are exempt from the law (blowing smoke outside of windows in a complex, when they know the distancing laws).
A friend told me about Internet Technology Addicts Anonymous.
https://internetaddictsanonymous.org/
It's quite a new fellowship and the meetings are almost all virtual / zoom.

Right now I am trying to control my internet use with freedom (the app). Looks promising. I want to get it down to 1.5 hours/day. I have other things to do!

>The problem with "alternative" Wayland compositors is that so much more functionality is pushed into the compositor under the Wayland architecture compared to window managers on X11.

That comparison is a bad one to make. Compared to just a window manager, that's correct. But you have to compare Wayland compositors to X11 compositors and for that it's about the same amount of work. Either one expects you to bring your own rendering because that's the main benefit of writing a compositor.

It also might make sense to compare X11 window managers to compositor plugins. The reason people seem to prefer wlroots is precisely because it offers more power and more control over the just writing a window manager.
You're still trying to compare one basic smart pointer implementation to garbage collection in general.

You told me something was impossible to do without garbage collection and I explained three different ways that I've already done it, then you just keep trying to talk about something that was never up for discussion in the first place. You hallucinated shared_ptr into the conversation from nowhere.

Without talking about smart pointers, what am I missing from the list above? Why do some lock free algorithms need garbage collection?

Yes, but the limitation is per-scanline, not per frame. Thus, “racing the beam”. The tree branches are above all the other sprites besides the swinging vine.
Also as someone who was always multi-platform I didn't know the nitty-gritty until recently myself, and honestly knowing it is just for fun for most folks. TTY/terminal-centric problems just don't happen any longer, and if they did you can boot into recovery mode or "nuke the OS from orbit" with a live drive.

Things that do happen with some regularity like disk corruption should probably get focused on first.
> Whatever you do, do it as a ceremony. ... Yes, it takes us three times longer than it used to, but we’re not in a hurry

We do this too, but we also often acknowledge, in front of the kids, that we have a lot of privilege to be able to do this. I want to make sure they know that poor people don't have the time to do what we do, because I already see signs of them asking "why don't homeless people just get jobs" and "did you know [classmate] has never been on a cruise before!!". I answer those questions too but I'm hoping to change their world view so they don't have to ask because they already know.

I'm not so sure that estimate makes sense. It's kind of hand wavy. The sun's output will increase 1 percent every 100 million years. So even at 108% of what it is today in 800m years that doesn't seem like it's enough to lock all the CO2 in the rocks. But let's say for the sake of argument that CO2 does start being sequestered.... well it's a greenhouse gas so as it is removed from the atmosphere... the atmosphere should actually cool down. Plus Earth has self cooling mechanisms that work against an increase in solar radiation. For example Volcanic eruptions and your basic water cycle. More energy would create more moisture in the atmosphere and in turn more cloud cover blocking out the sun. If the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere was way less even at 108% of the sun's output the atmosphere could remain cold so I think a new equilibrium will develop and be sustained for quite some time.
I can't say I've noticed much of a difference myself, maybe 20% faster at best.

DIY as in assemble yourself? I tried finding parts or info or schematics or designs for their other amps, but nothing of any real detail seems available. Cool potential offering here, but based on their other offerings, looks like it will probably be phenomenally expensive even in kit form. And not at all in the kind of hacker-ish open form we might hope.

It'd be great to see some real open-source wonkery start eith some of the modern chipamp chips. TI's latest tpa3255 is a beastly chip, and there's some pretty good sub $100 ~400W designs about based on it's advanced magic. Trying to get a bit more geeky, to share & tune & profile boards & builds together for modern chip-amps could really open up some new frontiers of affordable quality.

Thanks - just want to emphatically disagree that technology has no place in this discussion. The alternative - "just stop scrolling" doesn't work well for me, personally.

Just like non-alcoholic beverages are useful for people that have a drinking problem, I think it's likely anti-addiction technology will be useful for people that have a technology problem.
I am not the person you responded to, but I generally agree with them.

I guess they prefer to take an extreme Darwinian view. Since complexity is not the goal of life, merely a side-effect, there is no life on this planet that is more advanced than any other. Assuming a single abiogenesis event, all extant life has been evolving for approximately 3.8B years.

We may choose to think of brains, and our human brains in particular, as the bees-knees. Objectively, they are not though. Just one of many successful branches of the tree of life.
I can relate. My Oregon neighbor grew four plants for the fun of it. The constant smell of weed in my backyard was annoying. He died and I had a break for a while. But then a motel a block away was converted into a grow. After wondering why the area smelled so strongly of skunks (there were some skunks in the neighborhood), I finally realized the smell was coming from the grow.
Last night I went to a showing of a (youtube, lol) filmmaker's upcoming videos and sat down next to a woman who told me she was studying social media services and their addictiveness and she said that youtube was the absolute #1 most addictive in her findings.
My org has done a bunch of what's already covered here. We have a bunch of customers (SAAS), and though we have a good idea of what's going well in aggregate through observability, it's hard to gauge that any single org is having exactly repeatable results at they should expect vs. statistically acceptable volume for everyone. Because of this, we also setup synthetic accounts for test customers and regularly drive test scenarios through them to make sure the single customer doing the same old bring workloads are also doing alright. It tends to catch large issues that are caused changes that affect outputs without changing the volumes/latency. It's like end to end testing very common hot paths running forever in a real customer account flagged without billing. It tends to catch regressions way more often than it rightly should've.

My guess is that "fastest" refers to the request-response loop.

I wish I could find the HN comment recently posted which eloquently explained why obsessing over webserver (and by extension, web framework) performance requests-per-second is foolish.

The closest thing I could find is this:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34002459

The tl;dr is: server requests-per-second is meaningless without realistic loads involving databases and other dependencies. Typically the external factors dominate request processing time.

There might be compelling reasons to spring for Robyn over Flask [0] or FastAPI [1] but RPS shouldn't be one of them.

Test Your Forms
You're right. I wanted to make a point how it's possible to have an objective comparison between life forms, but I judged simple life forms too quickly. I still think there are some obstacles simple life forms won't be able to overcome, but it's not obvious (to me) which of these have a better chance of surviving long term.
I don't disagree with you. But what a sad state of affairs our culture is that this is the case
It still shows up in the interactive text adventure tEp house tour[1] (ask irving about Tep-O-Phone, or find it in the basement hallway) but, bad news:

> Built from relays that fell out of a Bell telephone truck by Fred Fenning while he was failing his telephony class, Tep-o-phone was a state-of-the-art telephone switching system that let the outside world dial individual rooms, switching tEp's six external lines. It also let people call the laundry room (Mr. Washer and Ms. Dryers) to see if there were free machines. Sadly, Tep-o-phone has since fallen into disrepair with the now-widespread use of cell phones, but every once in a while it tries to connect a call for old time's sake.

They did rig the laundry status up to the Internet, though, and you can confirm it from the same Zork-like interface in the laundry room.
And from real-world experience:

- Feature flags should be easy to create or even automatic. Otherwise your team will bypass or forget to create them, or start reusing the same ones until the flag doesn't make sense anymore

- Don't let devs name the flags, or agree and enforce a convention. They should also make sense without context (NOT "test-fix-error")

- Remove flags over time or they will lose all meaning and context

- Categorize your flags to automatically grant them to certain roles/groups

Good answer. The interesting notion for me here, is the distinction between observability (including SLIs, SLOs, etc, not just ad-hoc observability a la honeycomb.io) and testing in production -- they almost feel like 2 sides of the same coin. As really, the test in production is an experiment that is designed to measure something, which feels like it's just an SLI of some sort.

Observability, I agree, is essential, but rather than thinking of it as a pre-requisite as you suggest, I'm thinking of the tests as a form of observability.

Many Americans Dream of Moving Abroad – Here’s How 3 Families Did It
Right on. They can use an indoor grill. And vent it out through the piping on their roof.

A previous neighbors grill was located under their porch awning. We shared a wall and their porch awning vented directly into our microwave and range's rooftop vent. Whenever they grilled it flooded our unit. Dangerous pollution regardless of the smell. If we turned on the vent to prevent the intake it created negative pressure in our home and pulled their glade plugin scents through the wall.

>Severe over engineering, unstable interfaces, massive boiler plate and huge development overhead is preventing the long tail "at the protocol level".

No, all those can be solved with client libraries. X11 had Xlib and the other client libraries. Those X11 libraries don't make sense in Wayland, but the client libraries that stayed relevant (freetype, cairo, etc) can still be used.

>If you want to add the ability to take screenshots it gets exponentially worse.

No, in both modern X11 or Wayland, you should use the same API for screenshots: the XDG screenshot portal.

>Also the Wayland version is not even capable to render strings.

Sure it is, but you have to use client-side rendering. Client-side rendering is also the norm in X11, since decades ago when Xft was released as another one of those client libraries. That X11 hello world is short because it's using obsolete APIs.
