I don't quite understand what the intended flow is in this application, but this reminds me of something similar that I've been meaning to implement myself:

I'm thinking of a system that would allow me to 'ingest' browser bookmarks into git, at the precise time they were created/updated. This will allow me to use Chrome's 'native' sync to update/access my bookmarks from a number of devices; when I'm back at my stationary computer (or at a fixed time interval) a script can update a git repository according to the changes I made. Chrome knows when each individual bookmark was updated, and so my script would be able to set the appropriate git commit time.

Setting a precise git commit time (I want not only the date I updated the bookmark, but the time too) is important to me as a consequence of the following two facts:
* I like having a history of my actions so that I can find out more details about what I was doing at the time, using tools such as Google Activity and bash history.
* I don't want to have to perform some preliminary action (such as running git pull) before I can view my recently added bookmarks.

I already use a similar system for note-taking, with Syncthing as the sync mechanism and a small script for commiting a file at the time it was modified (perhaps on a different device).
You are much better off using nanohydroxyapatite for that, though; you can easily import such toothpastes from Japan via Amazon.
Patents expire.

The cost of actually making a 10gbase-t network card is really not much anymore. All of the cost is licensing.
I've always half-wondered if wisdom teeth could be saved. Either for re-insertion. Or as the source for the required stem cells for regrowth.

I mean, evolutionarily, the late appearance of those teeth were probably to replace broken molars?
The (A)GPL licenses were designed for user freedom, not developer freedom. That indeed means that some companies might not want to use it, because they dont want to give their users access to the code. But for the people who prefer this license, that's not an unintended consequence, but the whole point.
I'm back doing office work after two years of studying and I get why people are freaking out about remote. As much as I prefer remote and hybrid work, it really is more difficult to connect to colleagues when you don't regularly see them. The mechanisms we have right now are too primitive to compensate for the loss of connectedness.
As the resolver for a Manifold prediction market, I've been following this story closely for the last couple months. [0]

Back in December, HN user JanSolo wondered if the three astronauts assigned to the leaking Soyuz MS-22 might be evacuated via the Dragon Capsule. [1] Since the default evacuation plan was to send the next Soyuz MS-23 up early and unmanned, Dragon seemed unlikely...unless, of course, the coolant leak was due to a design or manufacturing defect affecting other Roscocosmos craft.

This latest Progress MS-21 news makes the defect hypothesis much more likely, in my view. A joint NASA-Roscocosmos investigation found that the original MS-22 coolant leak was caused by a micrometeroid about 1mm in diameter. I don't expect them to walk that back, so perhaps the defect makes these coolant lines more susceptible to puncture than before?

Given the amount of disagreement, I'd expect it is common enough but with some multimodal distribution tied to culture, geography or job type, so that the two modes don't notice each other. Happens with lots of stuff. My N=1 is that I probably know fewer people who skip breakfast (to include calories in coffee) than I do people who do 20:4 fasting. I like how I felt on 20:4 but it is easy to fall off of for social reasons, and womce I do, the blood sugar related cravings come back so I need a 48H water fast to get back into effortless 20:4.
Thank you for delivering on that. I am not denying that the holocaust happened, but what bothers me is that people are so quick to claim antisemitism for questioning things.
Some people have harder teeth genetically. Probably also diet matters. And habits that alter salivation.

"better than RPC" would be a more accurate title.
It's not just remote work. Single households are also 30% and rising , this was a growing trend and remote work is frankly accomodating this kind of trend to increased freedom which by necessity means more loneliness ... unless people start doing something about it. The dynamics of remote working are one-way, people leaving further from the offices, which renders offices dysfunctional. If the old ways to connect are detonated, new ones will be found.
Spending a minute or two on a search I see that, on the basis of his likely environmental policies, he's been endorsed by Andrew Wheeler, formerly of the EPA (https://www.ontheissues.org/domestic/JD_Vance_Environment.ht...). Let's see what he was up to while he was on the EPA: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_R._Wheeler#EPA_administ...

Did you come across this in your efforts to figure out how someone could possibly believe Vance would support deregulation on the environment?
People create a lot of laws around rental housing that are designed to help the poor. The effects tend to make housing completely inaccessible to the working poor but more accessible to middle class.

For example, making it difficult to evict someone will cause landlords to raise the qualifications for renting.
Not just them. There's a whole contingency of right wing (both D & R) donors who ask for making taxes frustrating for most, as they don't want people to look favorably on the act of paying taxes, to keep people like the late Justice Holmes Jr. a minuscule minority.

Homeopathy has been widely ridiculed as having no scientific basis, but in terms of outcomes, it might have been better than the heroic interventions of times past, such as bloodletting, mercuric chloride enemas, and whatnot.

Of course, there are no 'crystal signatures' in water and homeopathy has no more scientific basis than astrology does as an actual cure for anything - just a less bad approach compared to the above.
I like the project name. It reminds me of a Soviet joke. "In Soviet Russia there are two channels. First is propaganda. Second is KGB telling you to turn back to channel one."
I only had cravings while doing the 36 hours fasting, which I don’t do regularly anymore. It was usually during dinner time (rest of the family was having dinner normally) and what I tried to do was to distract myself with something else (work, book, movie, etc.). I never really had problems during other periods of the day.

What I’d suggest is to experiment a bit, perhaps in your case skipping dinner is easier than skipping breakfast. Or try to start by simply not having snacks and gradually increase the intervals between meals.
People assuming these are all balloons:

please explain why they shutting down airspace without a statement. If they think its a balloon, why not just say 'radar detected a probable balloon and we are shutting down airspace while it is being investigated.'

Why was the incident over Alaska described as a metal cylinder or whatever if its another probably balloon? This doesn't make much sense.
I might be misinterpreting the article, but the first two paragraphs specifically describe the over-abundance of marketplace sellers offering similar and sometimes identical products. They're using the same seller platform - Amazon - but that doesn't seem the same as lacking marketplace options as a consumer.

Not sure if it's a perfect analogy, but if we compare the Amazon marketplace to a giant flea market, I think the claim that consumers need a reasonably high level of 'savvy' to operate effectively is pretty easy to defend. When there are lots of sellers, lots of noise, and difficulty verifying quality, the consumer will frequently lose out despite the surplus of marketplace options.
Lol what fraud? These people have never guaranteed that they would turn these children into world-beaters. They'll say these are underfunded schools and that you're attacking the people who actually showed up to help these kids.
>Discovery and Picard is grimdark and made by people who, in addition to being bad writers and story tellers, are aware that Star Trek exists and has fans, but have no idea why.

I have a "friend of a friend", we'll say, who is an exec at Paramount and they're well aware that Discovery and Picard are creative trash. They do not care: it drives tons of subs every time a new season drops. Eventually you'd think that pattern would depress a bit but it hasn't thus far, allegedly.
Well, yes - there is nothing with Mats that you cannot do with any other communication form, if you code it up. When you say "register this as a work-item and give me an ID to check on its status", you've implemented a queue, right?

The intention is that Mats gives you an easy way to perform async message-oriented communications. Somewhat of a bonus, you can also use it for synchronous tasks, using the MatsFuturizer, or MatsSocket. A queue can handle transient peaks of load much better than direct synchronous code. It is also quite simple to scale out. But if you do get into problems of getting too much traffic for the system to process, you will have to handle that - and Mats does not currently have any magic for performing e.g. load shedding, so you're on your own. (I have several thoughts on this. E.g. monitor the queue sizes, and deny any further initiations if the queues are too large).

Wrt. synchronous comms, Mats do provide a nice feature, where you can mark a Mats Flow as "interactive", meaning that some human is waiting for the result. This results in the flow getting priority on every stage it passes through - so that if it competes with internal, more batchy processes, it will cut the lines.
I understand when people sont want to spend their own money on displays, but as a business you wre literally loosing money by using substandard equipment, research shows its around 10% of salary, much more than a monitor costs
Yes that site is antisemitic and is not even trying to hide it. I was just referring to comment that didn't even bother to read the document. Page 119 of that doc doesn't refer to anything re MKUltra or docs disposal, just some unverifiable antisemitic gibberish.

How so? I'm not calling for any specific course of action, I'm just saying "be thoughtful before arguing in favor of collapse", especially if you don't live in the country under discussion.

My "weapon of choice" is calling for restraint before violence.
And so? Are the 'science police' going to show up an arrest them?

There is a reason that scientists communicate with other scientists via papers and a process called peer review and not typically via the media. That is, to distill the topic down to a casual level requires many levels of abstraction and tend to be 'incorrect but interesting' as the media does not sell truth, but instead it sells advertising by making things interesting.

A Critique of Impure Reason
There are so many people out there who are now technology practitioners because they had a chance to self-train on the same tools that professionals use, which are freely available at no cost since paid software is vastly more expensive than they could ever hope to afford.

Programmers aren't stupid, we are fortunate that we can make our living using the software we build rather than being forced to sell it.

Open-source software is a gift to the world and humanity. But of course there is going to be the peanut gallery that thinks everything should be profitized.
Great way to put it. My current phone feels as useful now as the day I got it, whereas previous smartphones started to feel sluggish as apps and sites got slower and it felt outclassed by newer cameras.
Reminds me of the old Protocol vs. API debate.

It began even before the full blown culture wars. There was a real focus on 'predicting' what political leanings someone has based on minor expressions. It was the seed of looking at EVERYTHING in a hyper partisan political lens. There's even divergent vocabularies now.

The weirdest part of it all is the open war on customers like the posted article. What are they doing other than alienating clicks/readers? What is there to gain? They're willing to sink the business they work for over it (and its tolerated if not encouraged!!). Thats the most bizarre behavior of it all IMO.
I naively expected to see the same thing. However, it turns out that brands were (at least in some cases) useful intermediaries - especially where consumers are short on time. And if reputation fails, you can sue brands when they screw up. The host of ABCDEFG brand frying pans or whatever seem to rather create a race to the bottom where the only thing that is left is the price signal.
I will argue that this simplicity is exactly what Mats provides. At least that is the intention.

It matters because there is one less rationalization for why we have to tolerate corporate leaders engaging in evil. It is their free choice, not a legal obligation, and that should affect how we think about them as moral agents in society.

Maybe it also helps them realize that they have a choice too, that they are not "just following orders" from the legal system.
>We definitely should ensure that public transit is adequately capacious and on schedule, that public schools aren't bogged down in bureaucracy that saps academic learning time, and that there are enough incentives from the medical licensing gatekeepers to not impede the flow of competent healthcare workers in under served communities.

I would add: encourage the trades by providing free schooling and work experience programs.

>"The idea that the US would risk making itself a pariah amongst its NATO allies"

NATOS biggest financial backer, strongest military that is actually capable of something and projects force all over the world, financial power that can tell to Swiss banks how high to jump or else and tell other countries what they can sell and to whom.

Without the US NATO is irrelevant. I think your "US would risk making itself a pariah" statement is pure fantasy. There is zero risk for the US.

What APIs were you using? I haven’t used Java in a while but one of the main attractions for me was that I could download and read the source code. (I’d been in the closed-source Microsoft ecosystem before that.)
It's a lot harder to get rid of a spy satellite than a spy balloon. Also, according to the Outer Space Treaty[0], "outer space shall be free for exploration and use by all States". A spy balloon is invading your airspace, a spy satellite is not.

1440p monitors aren't that expensive either and for a lot of people 4K at 100% scaling is too small to be comfortable at a typical 27" size. For PC gaming a high refresh rate 1080p or 1440p display is a better buy than a 60Hz 4K one at roughly the same price.
Well, I actually call Mats "Message-Oriented Async RPC".
Buying a replacement or hiring a repairperson instead of fixing something yourself means that you also have to pay a cycle of income tax on it. If your marginal rate is 40%, to pay a repair person $250, you have to go out and earn ~$420.

That $250 you saved by doing a DIY repair is economically the same to your family as earning $420 additional from freelance work and paying someone $250 and the government $170.

It's all about incentives. A huge percentage of the human population has decided to live in cities because they offer a variety of incentives to live there. The transformation isn't complete but if the benefits were even greater then you could eventually see a complete shift.

Who knows what incentives a hyper-advanced civilization might have? Maybe life in space is a million times more appealing than life on a planet for a sufficiently advanced technology level. If estimates are to be believed then the resource wealth of the solar system far exceeds anything contained within the Earth. If you've solved the problems of efficient space propulsion, resource extraction and construction then you would have access to an abundance of everything you need. Space also has a lot more space, enough room for any person or group of people to build whatever they want without annoying their neighbours. It also has more energy both in the form of sunlight and radioactive elements. So yes, maybe energy and matter are nearly free for a true space faring civilization and maybe that's the reason no one would want to stay behind or at least so few that they would leave very little evidence of their presence.
Yes, I think that's what may be happening, at least for the people arguing with me in good faith.

In that case, let me be explicit that I'm pessimistic about the current government of Iran (a dictatorship which I'm not in any way in favor of) collapsing without a lot of destruction and bloodshed, and that I do not wish this destruction on the families currently living there. I also fear that if this collapse leaves a power vacuum, something like -- similar, not exactly the same -- ISIS could rise in its place. I'm very pessimistic about this, and so I'm wary of wishing for collapse.
What's an ISO?
Well computing is all about redefining problems in terms of other atoms. A messaging service is really just a series of ALU operations and memory writes, which is then a series of nand gates.

It seems incredibly muddy to me what "competing" would mean in that sense. If I make something with this it could be argued that my system built on top of MATS is just immaterial configuration that was intended to be done by the user. That the authors intention was for the end user to use MATS themselves, and that I'm therefore in competition with the product.

A non programming example would be hammers and houses. You could imagine that if I build you a house, you'd be less likely to need to buy a hammer (to build your own) making my house competition for the hammer.

I wouldn't touch this at all.
I don't see new benefits to users as the user already has a choice in what computer they buy and what software to use. As far as I know, schools provide students with computers and if you use your own there are already ways to work with different file formats. I use OSS on MacOS all the time, works fine.

US government data.gov provides many formats that require neither Apple nor Windows. File your taxes using a pen, envelope and stamp or use the online sites - no proprietary software needed. Use forms online through their web portal. I'm just not seeing where the friction is here to require a law.

>>If no laws exist that protect libre software projects, then they are vulnerable.

How so? People picking MacOS/Win over Linux because it's easier for them is a choice we already have. If you want to mess around with Linux, knock yourself out, but my parents won't. It also seem to want to force MacOS and Windows source code to be available for anyone to browse (poach)

>>because if states stop relying on proprietary software licenses, the money they currently spend on that can instead be spent elsewhere, or on paying programmers

That is what I'm already assuming I'm doing by buying MacOS because Apple pays the programmers that create their software that I choose to buy. So I'm supporting the programmers that made the software I use, as are the states when they pay Microsoft or who ever.

A less directly related concern I have is that it reads as an outside group meddling with US law in order to force/manipulate a cascading effect, presumably because whatever country they are from is going to follow the US? Or on a less conspiral thought, it's abusing US law for something better severed by Marketing.

>>I once again call to action, any person that lives in New Hampshire or the surrounding states in the USA. Your participation could help secure the rights of all libre software users and developers, well into the future. I myself do not live in the US, so I’m hoping that my American readers will listen well to what I have to say. [*note i appreciate the disclosure]

>>...it will provide the libre software movement a foot in the door, that could lead to greater reform at a later date, and strengthen the entire movement. This is because of the knock-on effect it would have: as more people benefit from it, more states (in the US) and countries outside of the US may follow, implementing similar laws.
I see references to NATS multiple times, but I fail to see how it solves what Mats aims to solve?

Mats could be implemented on top of NATS, i.e. use NATS as a backend, instead of JMS. (We use ActiveMQ as the broker)

Surely if it means that everyone knows who you're talking about, it does actually identify him.
