> What widgets are you referring to that you found to have leaks?

I'll cite myself here: https://github.com/streetturtle/awesome-wm-widgets/issues/11...

Here's another affected library [1]: https://github.com/deficient/volume-control

I've had similar issues wherever GTK interacts with awful.spawn. Basically: glib (GTK) + awful.spawn.easy_async + polling = extremely leak-prone. This is a very common pattern in community awesomewm widgets.

[1]: No bug under the main repo because they're considering it as a framework bug. See here for discussion: https://github.com/awesomeWM/awesome/issues/3584#issuecommen...

There are a few very specific situations in which I might consider generating a dashboard without the ui, but even then i wouldn't use jsonnet.
I used https://github.com/EmilTholin/svelte-routing with great success, though it looks like the maintainer has recently stopped maintaining it, and recommending sveltekit.

Still, I'd give try, it looks like people are still using it, and perhaps someone else will pick up the burden of maintenance, since there's clearly a ton of demand: https://github.com/EmilTholin/svelte-routing/issues/236
Objectivity is a totally different headspace. That's why critical thinking is so difficult. As unfamiliar and uncomfortable as it may be, it sure does have its advantages.
"Open"Ai is still better than Google. Google is so closed they made a GPT-2.5 and got so scared they put the tech on a shelf.
It might be good for DeFi, which has derivatives trading too, at this point.
The point of mentioning flexing "democratic" status is, in general in these contexts (say, the EU), about unnatural distancing of government, i.e. having dramatic decisions over everybody taken by an entity "distant" from the sub-regions. As opposed to a federalism in which substantially the special rules over the special, and the broad rules only when appropriate.

The Crucial MX500 is a rather old piece of hardware now.

Tom's Hardware NVMe benchmarks include a "Sustained Write Performance and Cache Recovery" component. Whenever there's a good sale price on an NVMe, that is just about the only metric I hunt down now. Most of the worst drives they test will always beat a mechanical disk, but the worst drives Tom's Hardware ever tests are still decent drives.

I grabbed one of the cheapest SATA SSDs last week to replacing a failing lvmcache drive. It is a NETAC 1 TB that might still be on sale on eBay for $34. I expected the worst, and I did want to test its sustained write performance, but I wasn't as nearly scientific as you!

I just ran dd for a while and watched it stay between 420 and 470 megabytes per second for about 120 gigabytes straight before I stopped the test. The meanest I am to this cache is dropping 50 GB of video on two different days each month, so that was all the data I needed.

Had I known that I would be reading your blog four days later I would have let the dd finish so I could take better notes! Thank you for taking the time to do the science for us!

Why you think Citizens made out with $20 billion in profit? And... why do you think a bank like Bank of America wouldn't have made a higher bid offer to make a measly $19 billion?
I guess not, which is surprising... maybe Davinci uses OS provided codecs in Windows and Mac? From a thread I looked at...

------

Did you try the Linux appimage of "Shutter Encoder" shutterencoder.com/en/, it works fine for me to convert H.265 to DNxHD or DNxHR (a better format than h.@265 for editing in Davinci) and I can use these files in the free version of Davinci Resolve 17 & 18. But I'm just a hobbyist and I'm using Davinci only for basic things, I'm at the beginning of my learning path... So I hope I'm not giving you a bad advice !

That's a bit of a simplification. The sandbox is deliberately not completely water-tight - the real point is to be able to ask the user "do you want app A to interact with app B in <one of a well-known set of ways> ?"

How to evaluate AI based solutions for your team?
Hello everyone, I recently created a requirement matrix for applying AI solution to our functional workflow. Different criteria of evaluating AI for business use case, I wanted to share it with this community.

In this solution requirement <> vendor matrix, you'll find categorized items of
- Features / UI needed for customer support use cases
- Reporting and analytics for business KPIs - Data and integration to customer support software
- Administration and Security systems for team management

This document is aimed at managers and directors looking to evaluate different AI-based solutions available in market and help improve productivity of their teams.

If you're currently looking for AI solution, I'm happy to share the document and discuss how can we improve evaluation? Ping me in this thread or DM me.

"True random" as opposed to "pseudo random", which is not cryptographically secure.
the bb android phones were horrible sluggish slow devices compared to their older bbos phones or a lot of other android phones. i had a passport and a priv. The passport was the best phone i ever had, the priv was meh. But again, BBOS was missing all the important apps, like sonos, banking or carsharing.

But, to be fair, bb made a lot of wrong decisions, from the playbook to Alicia Keys to their Music Streaming service. The phones were the tail end, especially after blackberry handed them over to TLC for production.

edit: But yes, agree with the consumer statement.
What's interesting is - he basic body silhouettes of the Ford Econoline (75 on), Dodge B series van (71 on - with a minor redesign in 79), and Chevrolet/GMC Van were largely unchanged from this publication to their discontinuance.
The problem with random as a word is it covers user intents ranging from "crudely load balance well enough most of the time" or "add a small variable delay to smooth the load over time" up to extremely security critical crypto applications.

John Glenn’s $40 Camera Forced NASA to Rethink Space Missions
Zig appeals to the “lone genius hackers”. I'd read this as the folks that like to know all the code in their code base, as is typical for embedded or moderate size projects. Folks that do not need (and resent) the abstractions made for every use case under the sun, which to them only ends up making the code harder to read and to comprehend.

Though Rust does an admirable job, and things are much better than for OOP languages, it's still a behemoth. Take a (any) small project, and the amount of dependencies upon dependencies explodes. A project easily takes up 1GB on disk, and it is impossible to know exactly what has been pulled in, or why. How much of this code actually ends up in the binary? It feels like a small fraction, like 5% (or even 1%), but that 95% is there and causes breakage. Now you have to debug something that's literally out of your world. It's not Rust, its the build. No matter how small the actual issue is, you are not qualified to find it.

Note that Zig's build system provides the exact opposite experience. Errors are always relevant, and can (therefore) always be solved.

In summary Rust takes away the helicopter view. Yes, in return it provides an unparalleled level of assurances, it really is magic. But I find myself returning to the roots, and Zig feels tasty. I bet Chatgpt will then handily convert the project, when done, to Rust, faster than I ever could.

Vue handles it just fine with doing the hard work behind the scenes and just passing you some CSS classes to connect your animations to (and there are JS events to use as well if you need a JS animation). Main difference is Svelte gets the benefit of being able to do some fancier stuff like items changing order or doing more than just entering/exiting. Vue has this as well, but not as easy to use.

That being said I overall prefer the Vue CSS approach to animation, it inspired my brother and I to make https://animxyz.com which has been my most successful side project yet. We wanted to make it work for Svelte as well but they don't have the CSS classes so we can't hook into their events the same.
> You've just named countries. Pick one. Read the actual policy. It might surprise you.

Sorry but this is just vague insinuation. You haven't given any hints as to what you believe will be a surprise. Could you enlighten me please?

I mentioned those three regions because they have self-identification policies for "gender identity" that extend to prisons, and men who call themselves women are currently incarcerated in women's prisons there.

> If trans women behaved the same as men, you'd expect them to – as a population – behave the same as men. From the evidence I have access to, they don't.

Okay then, please share your evidence? Keeping in mind that any man can call himself a woman.

> One can't change how reality works by sheer force of rhetoric.

Agreed, so please refrain from implying that these men are female, as you did with your mention of "male-on-female violence". I'm sure you know they are male.

> What happens when you put people with breasts and soft features and lower-than-average physical strength in a men's prison?

You are presumably referring to men with self-induced gynecomastia. This will likely be a subset of, or at least have a significant intersection with, men who call themselves women.

The same argument I made in other comments applies to these men too - their safety is an issue for the male prison estate to deal with. Men's prisons have plenty of experience handling at-risk prisoners, for example paedophiles, ex-police officers, ex-gang members. If men with breast tissue are at elevated risk, they can be handled in the same way. There is no reason to place these men in women's prisons.
Not necessarily a good thing knowing the science - just off the top of my head...

Topics I wish I'd never known about

- General anaesthesia and low dose

- General anaesthesia and the idea you are actually awake but forget.

- General anaesthesia stats and possibility of being awake (moreso if you're anxious about not going to sleep - it's happened to me with gas).

- Flying and why the plane needs to dive for certain scenarios.

- Flying and tolerances for wings during a storm (they're good but still!) or lightning strikes (Faraday cage but...).

- Flying and knowing about coffin corner stall limitations/margin for error.

- Flying and survival stats if there's actually a serious incident.

Probably a load more...!
I think Google's fears about releasing such technology too early will eventually be justified, but for the time being it's an open question.

Maybe "move fast and break things" shouldn't apply to every aspect of tech.
They already bought AI.com for probably a huge sum. It's only a question of time before they rename themselves.
I don't disagree. But probably still better than a few "it worked for me!" comments on the internet.
Fair point. Still, I think the reference point for plastic ubiquity comes quite a while after the 1950s. Plus, there are many different types of polymers and plasticizers and processed food is exposed to plastic at many points during its production and packaging. I would expect to find very different microplastic concentrations in leftovers from a home-cooked meal stored in a 1950's tupperware container and a modern frozen lasagna (or whatever) microwaved in its own plastic packaging.

The kind of questions I would ask someone with experience in construction.

"If I want to remove plaster from walls, which tools should I use? What should I do with the debris afterwards?"

"Which kinds of cavity wall insulation exist? Will this cause moisture problems in my house? What can I do to detect or prevent these kinds of problems?"

"Is it useful to insulate interior walls in an old house? Or should I just focus on the exterior? Will interior wall insulation raise the EPC (energy performance) of my house?"
I don't think it ever appears on the nameplate or badges, but it's in common use as a synonym, even by the company.

Well, Binance clearly knew the risks, so it's hard to see why they would chase US customers unless they were very profitable.

Unfortunately AI was banned (in tournament play, anyway) in the year 1641.
DVD menus was a bit of a misnomer. Menus were just stylized videos or still images. DVD programming took place in Pre/Post/Cell flags, and you could only have a limited number of commands per flag (I'm thinking 16 per, but it's been a really long time). The actual movie content could be a menu as well, and was actually a common technique for special/hidden features

The buttons were just hot spots. Each hot spot had to be linked (sometimes it was even done intelligently) to each other so that the up/down/left/right buttons on the remote worked. lots of fun there too. hidden features were often found through pressing a button sequence. We once did a Contra homage with an up/up/down/down/left/right/enter sequence to get to an easter egg video to a gag reel.
Funny thing, obesity rates are historically high, especially for the US.

The gospel of eat less/move more hasn't changed- you know what has? The garbage we eat has gotten worse and people as a whole move and exercise less.

Know what else has changed? The coddling, infantilization, and making up words so no one feels any shame or personal accountability.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that with movements like HAES(bullshit), plus size(obese) models, etc obesity rates skyrocket. Why not when you can eat anything and everything now and cry about it later.

I'm tired of other people's lack of self control becoming society's problems.

I smoke. I don't bemoan my lot and cry foul. It's my fault. I don't sit and wait for a magic pill while crying it's impossible to quit.

When I do quit, and go back to it from stress after years of being off them- I don't go about crying that cigarettes shouldn't be smoked by anyone or displayed everywhere to help me quit.

I don't demand people call smokers something that makes me feel less ashamed, and I damn sure wouldn't tell a doctor not to tell me to stop smoking and give me the same medical advice they'd give a non-smoker.

People need to act like adults and take personal responsibility.
Talk about complete chaos, I love it!
I think you read that wrong. $63M makes up 100%, not 16%. It's clearer here (and also the numbers went way up between 2020 and 2021):

https://techcrunch.com/2023/03/27/binance-and-ceo-changpeng-...

> In May 2021, Binance’s monthly revenue earned $1.14 billion from derivatives transactions, up from $63 million in August 2020, the CFTC noted. Of that amount, about 16% of Binance’s accounts were held by U.S. customers.

> The Crucial MX500 is a rather old piece of hardware now.

Depends on when you bought it. Crucial/Micron decided to stop introducing new branding when they updated their SATA SSDs, but the hardware inside has changed several times to incorporate new generations of NAND flash memory, and probably at least one update to the SSD controller by now. None of that matters to the top-line specifications they advertise, but such changes can be relevant for more stressful, more thorough or less realistic benchmarks.
Cost of funding overnight to maturity? 90bn for 5 years @ -3% carry, +/- defaults / refi on loan book? ~= 20bn?

Quite a lot of recent console FPS games just let you plug in a USB mouse/keyboard and you get matched with PC players (or other console users who use the same input method) instead.

A friend had that setup... was definitely fast for the price at the time... I ran an OC'd duron to 1.1ghz about a year later iirc (2000 era)... also ran Win2000, switched from OS/2 Warp and never really looked back. Win2k was very nice, and mostly stuck with it until Win7, the couple times I tried XP sucked, though MCE2005 was very ice, shame MS and cablecard pretty much killed it.
Does anyone have any data on how much use Morse Code still gets today? Are there any people still using it actively for communication, or are there literally zero practical applications anymore?
For LineageOS? Yes.
For GrapheneOS? Maybe.

Essentialy banking apps hate unlocked bootloaders. GOS (GrapheneOS) avoids this relocking the bootloader (the key is theirs, if you want to build your own GOS you'll have to sign with your own key).
However GOS still fails Play Integrity checks: it fails CTS Profile Match.

So, Banking Apps probably work but Google Wallet won't.

Additionally, they run Google Apps as non-privileged apps, using a compatibility layer called `gmscompat`. It's cool because it's easy to Degoogle your phone in an instant if you wish to. But certain niche features, for example, using your camera to help Google Maps match your surrounding with Street View data crash Maps.

Otherwise all runs mostly well. Waze a few weeks ago was wonky but I assume the bug they fixed in Wifi-location allowed Waze to behave -- haven't tested though.
Google neither calls itself Open nor does the motto "Dont be evil" still apply.

Disappointing but honest.
In my opinion space leaks are a big deal in Haskell. I come across them fairly often and they cause big problems for the kind of software I write. Luckily they are also easy to avoid. I wrote an article about how to eliminate half of them:

(the other half are eliminated by disabling the full-laziness transformation).

my boss knows one of the former US press secretaries. At a dinner a while back my boss went on and on (for like 30min) how she couldn't believe her acquaintance was picked and how she should have been press secretary and would have been oh so much better. I asked her why in the world would you ever want that job, the pay sucks and you're just getting yelled at all day by reporters. She couldn't believe someone would turn down a chance to work in a presidential admin. We both had a little bit too much to drink and argued for like an hour. I had a tshirt made for her with a headshot of her, apparent, nemesis haha
When we dev, svelte uses vite which has instant hot-module-reloading. You edit your code and see the change live.

The build itself takes around 2 minutes, but that's mostly due to monaco and tailwind taking the majority of the time to be bundled.

Not sure but things are moving fast and BAC may be kicking itself like other banks once they learned about the Citizens bank deal. I am guessing. My reasons for my thinking: It is reported that FDIC lost $20B in SVB bailout. SVB loan portfolio is healthy so this loss must be just payouts to depositors that wanted their money. Didnot see any reports that FDIC will get back those payouts from the loan portfolio (eventualy).

These numbers seem....unproductive. 25k per house? A quick google has California's homeless population at 115k. This seems like it doesn't scale well?

On the flipside, as much as my heart goes out to whoever would live in those 1200 homes, does 1200 really do anything? Feels like spending 30 million taxpayer dollars on positive PR.
