The Christian living aspect is definitely the major part of it. There are also over 100 Hutterite colonies, many that have survived for over a hundred years with new ones getting planted all the time all over SD, ND, some in MN and many in Alberta and nearby provinces each with roughly 100 people or so. Hutterites are essentially Amish who embrace technology for farming, manufacturing, etc. Their origin story is a bit different but they are both Anabaptist Christian sects with Germanic-language roots.
How does macOS handle it then? It also provides a web view for apps to use, but Safari is updatable separately from the OS.
> The real tragedy is that Americans have built a country

Hold up right there, the length of the commute is not a problem. A 5min walk also means 20min prep, absolute best case you spend 30min/day & 10h month on this.

And that is just one problem.

Tech is so frustrating. You have real solved problems and people resist tech and you have things like being forced to use apps for everything and people are ok with that.

There is the interruptions, inevitable social conflicts, mental health (and physical), and so much more. Even attending a meeting takes much more time and energy.

Even when i try to be lazy i end up working many times more when wfh than office. I am convinced managers are either stuck on old metrics or have no idea how to remotely manage their people for wfh to be an issue.

If I go to the office i will not work when i get home or in weekends (too tired) but since covid I've been working whenever to meet objectives.

Also, no more driving. Good for environment I thought!? And no more being pulled over by cops, accidents,etc...

WFH should be legally mandated if you ask me
You can read the official opinion of the US legal team here -

I think it can be summarized that they knowingly traded securities with US entities, and intentionally circumvented legal and technical restrictions to make those trades happen.
I mean, losing data is an extremely complex problem. What I'll say is that I've run large production systems with heavy load on ext2 and ext4 and did not find that it "lost data" more frequently than xfs, and in fact performed fine.

What's really important here is the person who closed the bug did some summarily, with little to no explanation, other than a reference to O_DIRECT not being supported in ext4, and therefore it "loses data" in production. This is an unprofessional comment to close a bug and I'd expect one of the co-founders of MinIO to do a better job. See https://ext4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Clarifying_Direct_IO%... for a discussion of the subletly of O_DIRECT. It's also not really required to make a production filesystem reliable, and would only be a tiny part of an overall reliability solution (because drives themselves often buffer and reorder their writes, sometimes even lying about whether data was "commited durably to disk")
Grayson Hoare who created Rust has been working on Swift language in the last few years at Apple. People change jobs, there is nothing wrong with that. Rust is a community driven project, and the community will keep building. IntelliJ Rust plugin has not stopped evolving since matklad left. matklad may found a new interesting project that happened to be using zig. He didn't say he left Rust community
Yeah, I would strongly challenge the premise of the question.

Is a temporary commune even a failure? Is a long lived one necessarily a success?

Are there 50 year old hippie communes we haven't heard of?
So are you doing anything about it?
Interesting that this came up; I was reading https://arxiv.org/abs/2301.02308, on Rust's usability, earlier today. One of the interesting conclusions from that paper was that while Rust's error messages are generally high-quality, they can sometimes be too local, especially for helping get new Rust programmers used to the ownership model. Key quote:

"rustc error messages not only describe the error in the code, but for
certain error patterns, suggest edits that may fix the problem. However, these edits are always local and don’t provide any high-level design feedback which may be helpful in making the mindshift."
Then don’t look for a similar size home? Look for one that’s much smaller and fits your budget. Or don’t.

I also live in an above average COL area and rent the smallest apartment I could find for a monthly rent of about 1/750th the cost of the single family homes next door.

Unless you’re hella wealthy you can’t live in an expensive city and expect the same housing arrangement you’d get in the suburbs. The trade offs are worth it for some people and aren’t for others.
On the one hand it’s kind of like pop sci Mad Libs, but on the other why do they always have to add the sad trumpet caveat to searches for aliens? Like, is there anything else that is simultaneously (a) worth writing about and (b) always assumed to be doomed to fail?

I don’t think it’s doomed to fail at all.
> The claim from the Greek historian is that this is what caused eastern science and engineering to stagnate compared to Greek/Roman efforts.

I am not an historian, but is this really true? Scientists/mathematicians then were philosophers or "natural philosophers" and it seems like most of the famous ones also worked on things like metaphysics.

To the point, I offered them the .org of the .com they were buying, and they were not interested. I never did it, but wondered what would happen if I just... booted it up. Maybe I'll try it some day.
Good point. And why don't you just unplug your computer and do all your stuff on your paper and pen? I believe it's the most secure way to protect your data. Remember to store these paper in your basement and bring your key.
But your claim was that if we see this:

> Something has indeed gone wrong. The struct has succumbed to being a "kitchen sink".
> The intuition here is that directories are a shared resource for their direct children and must therefore serialize concurrent directory-modifying operations, causing contention.

why do you think this is true?

i've never heard of anything like it

directories are inodes on a file system, they are in no way "shared resources for their direct children", and there is no concept of a "directory-modifying operation" which contends with operations on any file (or directory) which is a "child" (subdir, sub-file) of that directory

your claim is totally bizarre to me, afaik it's nonsensical, but i guess i could be mistaken
Another Round of GitHub Layoffs
> beforeinstallprompt

Apple's philosophy is that it needs to be on the home screen, and that popups prompting users to install the app were a mistake (many people will allow notifications and app installs just to dismiss prompts). Making people do a song and dance should reduce the potential for "your grandparents" accumulating an infinity gauntlet of spam notification PWAs.
Also sex abuse and the normalization of controlling behavior are more common in these self-isolating communities, and even more impactful on a person who has little to no contact with the outside world.
Slides is a digitized version of the old practices.

Better presentation technology will not be found here, as much as I detest Powerpoint, I'm willing to admit that it is the pinnacle of slide presentation.

To reach a better presentation and flowing of information across the society, the answer is to ditch slides altogether. Which I am not envisioning how as I'm not a product manager or a salesman but for myself I'm doing perfectly fine with markdown and other text based means of communicating information.
Even the facts are wrong.

Translation:

"I have a AI snake oil book to sell you about a bullshit generator."

It's quite irresponsible for a doctor to hype around untrustworthy technologies like this opaque contraption behind someone else's API and funnel such private and sensitive data to companies like OpenAI who have already admitted to collecting it whilst getting everyone's chat history leaked.

But AI grifters are gonna grift and sell books and courses about glorified chatbots and so-called "AI" sophists which lack transparency and reasoning of decisions that can't be trusted to even begin to decide life an death situations.

The grift continues thanks to the AI bros.

It probably very much is. But Google would never add Keychain integration when they want to push you to their own password manager within Chrome
Language models ought to be able to do better than that. If they can translate from English to French they ought to be able to “rewrite the following in the style of Ben Thompson.”
One should make a distinction between:

* The general idea of mixing together filesystems+folders to achieve re-use/sharing/caching.

* The "Dockerfile" approach to this - with its linear sequence of build-steps that map to a linear set of overlays (where each overlay depends on its predecessor).

The "Dockerfile" approach is pretty brilliant in a few ways. It's very learnable. You don't need to understand much in order to get some value. It's compatible many different distribution systems (apt-get, yum, npm, et al).

But although it's _compatible_ with many, I wouldn't say it's _particularly good_ for any one. Think of each distribution-system -- they all have a native cache mechanism and distribution infrastructure. For all of them, Dockerization makes the cache-efficacy worse. For decent caching, you have to apply some adhoc adaptations/compromises. (Your image-distribution infra also winds up as a duplicate of the underlying pkg-distribution infra.)

Here's an alternative that should do a better job of re-use/sharing/caching. It integrates the image-builder with the package-manager:

https://grahamc.com/blog/nix-and-layered-docker-images/

Of course, it trades-away the genericness of a "Dockerfile', and it no doubt required a lot of work to write. But if you compare it to the default behavior or to adhoc adaptations, this one should provide better cache-efficacy.

(All this is from POV of someone doing continuous-integration. If you're a downstream user who fetches 1-4 published image every year, then you're just downloading a big blob -- and the caching-layering stuff is kind of irrelevant.)

You are talking about a handful of unicorns, not just large startups, and even then only a subset of them — Shopify with their widely successful monolith comes to mind. By definition their requirements in their current unicorn state can't be the default.

>From my understanding most Americans are centrists and have established a status quo that is neutral on the LGBT+ group

Can you point to anything substantial that supports this idea? The majority of Americans support same-sex marriage [1], and almost three-quarters of Americans (71%) said that being gay is morally acceptable [2].

Most Americans are liberal, which is why platforms move to ban hate mongers and extremists. Instagram doesn't care in the slightest about protecting LGBTQ folks. They just understand that most people don't want to participate in a hateful cesspit.

There is a reason that Truth Social and whatever right-wing trash app comes next will never gain any sort of mainstream traction, most people support deplatforming hate mongers.

Yeah. Slack has no inbox, no single view of new messages. If I wake up in the morning and go to work, I have to hunt around for what’s new in the sidebar, clicking into different threads and DMs. I route new activity to email instead of using Slack.

It’s amazing to me that a “work communication” tool has no inbox.

OMFG so much this.

I worked at a large company that deployed it's own Kubernetes stack, on a VERY large number of physical hosts. The theory was that the K8S would simplify our devops story enough that we could iterate quickly and scale linearly.

In reality, the K8S team ended up being literally 10x larger than the team building the application we were deploying on it. In addition, K8S introduced entirely new categories of failure mode (ahem; CNI updates/restarts/bedsh*tting, operator/custom resource failures, and tons of other ego driven footguns).

The worst part? The application itself ran fine on a single dev workstation, but also on any random assortment of VMs. Just pass the consul details as environment variables. I am not saying everybody on K8S is in the same boat, but I think that far more people are planning on becoming a unicorn cloud service than have any hope of becoming a unicorn cloud service.

TL;DR: If your hosting solution requires more maintenance than the application itself, you made a boo-boo.

We're trying to do something very similar to what the OP proposes at our current company (Kurtosis), and we explored YAML, Jsonnet, Dhall, CUE, and general-purpose languages and eventually settled on Starlark: https://docs.kurtosis.com/explanations/starlark#why-did-kurt...

BLUF: Infrastructure seems to live in this weird "configuration code" space between pure config (YAML) and actual code. You want reusable config, but you don't want to have to understand the complexities of a real codebase. Jsonnet, Dhall, and CUE all have the simplicity you want, but we found the DSL we'd need to write to be rough. Starlark hits this very nice balance of safety and ease-of-readability (and as a bonus is basically just Python). We've been very happy with it so far.
> That's a a compelling argument: GC/RC w/ stack allocation where possible.

Indeed, it's a great combination that means you're productive and performant without really trying most of the time. The type system is really good as well, and in general there's a strong focus on compile time over run time like Zig, but with better procedural macros than Rust.

> To what extent is this possible? Does Nim have LTOs that rewrite memory handling across compilation units?

The GC is built on general move analysis with destructors you can hook for your own types. The nice thing is it's a deterministic, compile time expansion (you can view with '--expandArc:somefunction'), so it's useful for embedded or high performance stuff.

The intro to ARC is pretty good for an overview: https://nim-lang.org/blog/2020/10/15/introduction-to-arc-orc...
In this case you can just delete the oldest files, or tar/zip them in to one file. I doubt anyone needs instant granular access to 5 million images.

The chance of hitting this limit is so insanely slim and the workarounds are so trivial that I don't really see any issues here. I bet there would have been some abuse where someone tried to store data in file names and metadata which is not counted to your quota.
> And the economy isn't even that bad in general. I don't understand this tendency on the internet just so overly exaggerate how bad the economy is. Unemployment is near record lows right now.

Unemployment doesn't tell us a whole lot. There's more people out of work today than before. Unemployment numbers don't tell you about the people whose only employment is part time or pays a fraction of what it used to pay either.

In the US evictions are on the rise, homelessness is on the rise, child poverty is on the rise, household debt is on the rise, utility service disconnections are rising, 80% of people in the US think their children will grow to be worse off than they are. None of this signals a healthy economy. The economy is making many already rich people even more money than ever before while the middle class increasingly struggles and the poor face ever rising expenses.

Outside of the tech world, this is a great time to find a job, but that doesn't mean you'll make enough money to support yourself. Programmers have it a bit rough right now, and it always hurts like hell to see your standard of living decline, but it's not that bad really. For so much of the country their standard of living starts a lot lower and it's still getting worse.

I've heard many people claim that it wouldn't be wise to respond to an alien signal. Why not? Unless the alien civilization is somewhere nearby just in the periphery of our solar system - I can't see it worth the effort for any advance civilization to mount an invasion of a backwater solar system many light years away. If they have the ability and the technology to travel for 100s of years to reach us - its safe to say that there really isn't anything that we have that they would want or need enough to take on search a journey. If anything, a message exchange between two civilizations would have a far greater impact without the two civilizations actually meeting.

D didn't bring a lot to replace C, only C++. Compared to C it's a lot more of high level stuff, for niches where the language is dead for decades anyway, and not much more for the things C was still good at.

But Rust brings you OOP-like structures without the C++ hidden machinery, generics (the two main reason people adopted C++), and a lot of code verification. And the language isn't much more complex than C. That combination is very enticing.

I do believe both languages are about to die (C and C++). It's just that when languages die, nobody notices for a decade or so. Even develovers keep getting more numerous for some time, and have their numbers slowly reduce through decades.
I have had to do it multiple times for every paper I’ve published. I do health economics research, which involves a lot of collaboration with physicians and people from other less quantitative fields (eg public health, implementation science, communications / media). From my experience those collaborators are unwilling to look at results until they look “finished” (ie are in the format that the target journal requires) and are part of a Word document that includes the working draft of the paper. Since they want to use Track Changes as version control, I can’t simply generate the tables again as a Word document and end up having to copy and paste them in, which is a huge time suck and runs the risk of making errors.

> We construct illusions to protect ourselves from fully experiencing the cruel reality of life.

Reality is cruel. Nature is cruel. Existence is cruel. And Humans have overcome a substantial amount of that cruelty and enjoy a quality of life our ancestors couldn't even dream of.

There are many other things to be optimistic about given where life on earth started and how it is going for humans. Our ancestors have come a long way in 4.5bn years, it would be special kind of blindness to write that progress off as a lie we tell ourselves to stay sane.
