one of my favourite languages! not so much for its (excellent) technical qualities, but just as a matter of personal taste - it joined ruby and racket in a short list of languages that just feel nice to program in. (i suspect D would join that list too but despite being interested in it for a while i haven't yet had a compelling project to use it for.)
If anyone wants to make a similar project, there is a great Rust API to most of the Waveshare displays[0] (I added support for the display mentioned in the article, 5in65f).

I also made a project[1] with it that generates art using a gameboy emulator and some static images and other transforms to show on the display.

Okay, things like 'museum curator' or 'charity foundation board member' come to mind, all kinds of positions that are high status but often don't even involve any serious pay and thus are generally taken by independently wealthy. Those jobs won't be automated even if they can be automated, these people will ensure that they stay the way they are.

> The premise that the amount of animal agriculture is constant is incorrect.

That certainly is true – I just had a look at the exact numbers: Cattle has seen a 15.6% increase between 2000 and 2020[0]. However, even if you double the numbers in my calculation in my other comment[1], you will see that agricultural greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are still basically nothing compared to those caused by fossil emissions.

> because it currently relies on mined hydrocarbons for feedstock fertilizer and transport.

Many types of food require fertilizer for production and logistics. I'm not trying to say that animal agriculture might not be comparatively bad here but we certainly won't get rid of fertilizer- and logistics-related emissions over night by overcoming animal agriculture. In fact, it could be that we'd just replace one emission source with another. So, before prescribing vegan diets for everyone, I'd really like to see some numbers that suggest that such a move would actually change anything.

I hate the sweetgum tree. Those balls are the most annoying things ever. Pretty tree, but the Western Sycamore is better and native.

Ideally there is a balance between native trees and plants that help cool the environment for one's lawn. One particularly amazing native California tree/shrub is the Manzanita which branches have an extremely cool-to-the-touch feel. They truly cool the air around it and the birds and small animals love it in the summer. Many California native plants have these amazing properties that promote a wonderfully diverse ecosystem.

If they made it to at least 15, then probably on average somewhere between the 40s and late 50s from estimates I’ve seen.

(1,000 generations being probably < 30kya; there appears to have been a fairly radical expandsion in lifespan around 30kya, before that most estimates I've seen would have adults, by thrbsame definition, averaging sonewhere in the mid-30s or so.)

From the ruling [1], the only thing Apple lost.

> We now turn to Apple’s cross-appeal, beginning with its
arguments concerning the UCL. The district court found that
Epic suffered an injury sufficient to confer Article III
standing, concluded that Apple’s anti-steering provision
violates the UCL’s unfair prong, and entered an injunction
prohibiting Apple from enforcing the anti-steering provision
against any developer. Apple challenges each aspect on
appeal. We affirm.

i.e., the District Court found Apple to be violating CA Unfair Competition Law which Apple had appealed and the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit concurs with the district court.

Consequence of this ruling is limiting the ability of app developers to communicate the availability of alternative payment options to iOS device users is unlawful. As a result, alternate payment methods can no longer be restricted by Apple.

The question of commission (30%) still remains because the ruling is silent on it except for observing what the district court said.

> Because the district court accepted only a general version of Apple’s IP-compensation rationale (that Apple was entitled to “some compensation”),
Epic at step three needed only to fashion a less-restrictive
alternative calibrated to achieving that general goal, instead
of one achieving the level of compensation that Apple
currently achieves through its 30% commission.

My reading of this is that the 30% commission can come under challenge from another plaintiff. Epic took a different tactic on this specific argument and failed to establish it. However, the Appeals court's observaton seems to indicate there is legal room for a challenger to attack this.

The latter suggestion assumes that there’s enough entropy in the allocation process to make this work. But that’s not guaranteed! Suppose that your allocator doesn’t pad allocations (e.g. because it uses a bitmap), and that it only guarantees 0x10 alignment. If the top of the heap happens to be unaligned with respect to your desired alignment (e.g. address ends in 0x10 when you want 0x20 alignment), you might wind up just repeatedly allocating unaligned blocks off the top of the heap forever.

This is not an easy problem to solve, unfortunately. On MacOS I believe they solve this problem using the two-level namespace: symbol references include the library name, so “operator new(size_t)” from libstdc++ is distinct from “operator new(size_t)” from libtcmalloc.

Symbol versioning also seems like it should solve the problem: have the new interfaces explicitly declared with a newer ABI version (e.g. @@LIBCXX_17) and link only to those new versions from code that expects them. Of course, symbol versioning comes with its own set of nasty drawbacks, but in this case it seems like a solution that might work?
If this happens, which I doubt, I think it's just going to ensure that companies hire overseas instead.

This so much! I hate hate hate how there is no context anymore for filling in logins and how it has to all happen inside the browser. It's normal for me to have 5-6 different logins for websites. In v8 I can only use the tiny bar in the webbrowser to select one. But it doesn't let me search or give me information on which login is which.

In v7 with 1Password Mini I can do a fuzzy search outside of the browser and then just press enter to fill the details.

I'm still holding on to v7, but apparently we just can't have nice things. Sounds like it may be time to move on soon. :'(
I'm still friends with old roommates from school too. That's different in my mind anyway -- I lived with these people, saw them naked in the shower, etc. It was a level of personal contact that was much closer than anything that has ever happened (or I would want to happen) with someone at work.

YMMV though, if you make friends at work that's cool, just never seemed natural or obligatory to me.

I wish Nostr were invented 30 years ago because it seems like a elegant protocol with room for extensions that could have served as the backend language for Twitter, IRC, FB, and more. But network effects are just so powerful and people post to be seen. Twitter isn't going to willingly open the door to competitors, and so I hope Nostr can find a few unique use cases and communities to let it blossom.
> Recently I've been building a server room, and naturally a question of EM insulation came up. If I were to protect my servers from this, I needed to wrap the room in a grounded mesh with holes of λ in diameter. What wavelengths am I protecting against?

I used to build space radiation shields. I'll give you three answers.

What you should do:

Throw up a few sheets of metalized mylar or some aluminum foil. Make sure everything (including the foil) is electrically isolated and grounded. Be more worried about the grid more than the air. Don't let the grid kill your components, because it WILL be overloaded.

You want to be very secure:

Do the above, but be in a concrete building. Better if under ground. Idk, add some chicken-wire or other mesh? Don't ground to the grid, ground to the ground (use a grounding rod and bury it deep).

The overkill (an explanation):

Ground based radiation shields tend to be different than space based as you don't care about weight on earth. How to stop radiation? Mass. Even still, the two follow a pattern: layers of differing material. Plastics (sometimes doped with boron, titanium, or other materials) are good insulation and protect well against neutrons (not much of a worry for you unless we're talking nuclear weapons), but you'll still want some because these are layered with conductors (copper or aluminum). Conductors pick up charged particles (the majority of radiation).

There is a lot of confusion about radiation and it took me awhile to actually learn this. People will talk about attenuation distances and {alpha,beta,neutron}-cross-sections, but if we're talking about high energy particles, then a lot of this doesn't actually matter. Mass does. So don't worry about optimizing materials or any of that, just put mass in the way. Reading told me one thing but testing and simulation told me another thing. These cross-sections and attenuation depths are mostly for lower energy particles (like you'd find in a reactor). Your mass doesn't have to include any metal, but that will help because the biggest component is that you'll want some grounding. Also, use ECC memory and other such server grade components.
Yeah, I think there is a balance. Lawns are for play, so if you're using it that way, great. Many people have front lawns that they don't use. I live on a hill where lawns are sloped and useless. It's nearly impossible to play on something that steep. The children that live around here don't ever play on their front lawns that are like this. The space could be put to better use.

iscsi target image file on ZFS RAIDZ zpool. I don't think it had much to do with iscsi though- the image file was affected because it's a TB-size file with lots of read/write. IIRC there were 2 other files that were also corrupted, but their sizes were in the range of teen GBs. I haven't seen any corruption from that installation since then.

The corruptions were identified by scrub after an unexpected restart, but the files were already corrupted before that (the system that was using the iscsi target behaved strangely whenever it accessed the drive.)

ActivityPub has a section which deals with how clients and servers should communicate with each other (called Client to Server - C2S - in the spec). So it's the same vocabulary and operations with slightly different side effects, but most servers don't implement it because it's not "specified enough". That's why developers generally just use the Mastodon API.

While I do agree with you, and think it's probably worth seeing if detecting the override and falling back to unaligned allocation works, the problem is not that the code in TF is compiling assuming/requiring over aligned data.

The problem is that there is system code that they are calling that is making using of over aligned allocation, so therefore could be generating code dependent on said alignment. The failure mode can very easily be

someSystemLibrary.so`someFunction:
alignedThing = ::operator new(size, alignment)
...
i_dunno_dma_memcpy_or_something(a, somewhere else)
...
::operator delete(a)

With no interaction with TF code at all. Except TF has replaced operator delete so that fails due to the allocator mismatch. If you make ::opeator new(size_t, align_val_t) redirect to ::operator new(size_t) if it detects an override then the aligned operation can fail. The above example is moderately difficult to induce so it's more likely that there's an explicit split with the system is doing one half of new/delete and TF is doing the other, but the important thing is that it implies the system code is built aware of alignment and it depends on the alignment even if TF does not.
