>Or, to avoid putting too much in kernel space, the tty subsystem could live in a user-space daemon

On Unix, that's what "pseudo ttys" are for (i.e. /dev/pty*)!

For example, that's how Emacs lets you run multiple shell sessions in sub-processes, such that they have full job control (i.e. ^Z and ^C works to interrupt or stop sub-processes in the shell, since they're handled by the TTY). That's also how xterm and the Mac Terminal emulator work, providing the shell sub-process with its own pseudo tty with job control, even though there's not a corresponding /dev/tty* serial port driver. It's like a virtual serial port using a device driver with "TTY Line Discipline" but without an actual TTY.

https://docs.kernel.org/driver-api/tty/tty_ldisc.html

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_discipline

ChatGPT correctly explains it better than I can or anything I can find with google:

Unix pseudo ttys, or pseudo-terminal devices, such as /dev/pty*, are a key mechanism in Unix and Unix-like operating systems for enabling communication between different processes. Pseudo-terminals are designed to provide the same interface and functionality as physical terminals or terminal emulators. They consist of a pair of devices, the master side (e.g., /dev/ptmx) and the slave side (e.g., /dev/pts/N), which are used to establish a bidirectional communication channel.

Pseudo-terminals are useful for running programs that expect to interact with a terminal, even when there is no actual terminal involved. This is particularly important for terminal-based applications like Emacs, which can run sub-shells within their own window or buffer.

Emacs, an extensible and highly customizable text editor, can leverage pseudo-terminals to run sub-shells, like bash or zsh, within its own environment. [Omitted detailed instruction on how Emacs sets up a pty for a sub-shell.]

By utilizing pseudo-terminals, Emacs can provide an integrated environment where users can work with both text files and interactive shell sessions seamlessly. This enhances productivity and enables users to harness the full power of Emacs' editing and navigation features while working with the shell.
When you use a consultant (not specifically a medical one) there is a continuum between the following types:

1. Template driven: the consultant has a few templates which your problem has to match. A good consultant will tell you when your problem is outside their scope of their advice, or is nevertheless not actionable, but they don't always have the context to do this. Your responsibility as a client is to make sure that their advice will work and not cause other problems in your context.

2. A mentor: more flexible than the previous, they help analyse the situation and may do some (book) research for you. But their responsibility is limited to increasing your understanding and proposing solutions, the final decision and strategy for evaluating their solutions is still the clients.

3. Strategist: they take responsibility for ongoing management of the issue and making decisions. Actual execution of actions are still the clients responsibility but if there is an issue the consultant takes responsibility for figuring it out and either devising a way to proceed or finding an alternative approach.

The problem with medical professionals, especially mental health, is that the impression is given that they are going to be 3, but often end up being 1 or 2, and the patient or carer needs to be the strategist. There can be an annoying motte and bailey situation, with the professional insisting that they are the strategist when the patient wants to question the approach, but falling back to being the mentor when progress isn't being made.

Anyway the problem for records is that in mental health transition between these approaches needs to happen. The patient might have needed the psychiatrist to be the strategist when they were in a crisis, but then need to take over that role if the proposed solutions aren't working. When they do, they need honest and open records.
I don't agree that this is Meta's fault. They gave females a window to the world and that made them depressed. Does this mean Meta should just close shop? Are they responsible for the mental health of their users?
It is 2023 and I really can't handle any more pseudo theories of why women are unequal, it's like watching a black whole sucking the IQ out of everybody.

If women were economically self sufficient then they wouldn't tolerate any injustice. Why are they not economically self-sufficient?

1) False question. Only worker-women aren't economically self sufficient and they have to tolerate injustice in their work and family environment. Why are worker-women not self sufficient? Because (drum roll) of how capitalism works, workers are not meant to be economically independent because then they wouldn't have to deal with their boss' crap. And who would work for the enterprises then?

2) Ok, but even worker-women are treated unequally among worker-men. Yes, because of marriage which propagates the economic injustice within the borders of the family.

3) Q: When were women treated equally (or even as superior to men) in the human history?

A: In classless societies

Do your gas appliances actually work when the power is out? I guess you could light the stove with a match but aren’t most boilers going to be electrically controlled such that they won’t work without power.

It also seems like a bit of a weird reason to me as a big reason. But maybe you get a lot more power outages than I do. (I would imagine somewhere with a gas main, where gas heating can be economical, would not have very frequent or problematic blackouts. With no gas main, you use butane/propane which is not so economical). Plenty of people have camping stoves lying around which can be used in a pinch.

This sounds like zobrist hashing, or related . https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zobrist_hashing

" Zobrist hashing is the first known instance of the generally useful underlying technique called tabulation hashing. "

so to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tabulation_hashing

"

In computer science, tabulation hashing is a method for constructing universal families of hash functions by combining table lookup with exclusive or operations. It was first studied in the form of Zobrist hashing for computer games; [...]

Despite its simplicity, tabulation hashing has strong theoretical properties that distinguish it from some other hash functions. In particular, it is 3-independent: [...]

Because of its high degree of independence, tabulation hashing is usable with hashing methods that require a high-quality hash function, including hopscotch hashing, cuckoo hashing, and the MinHash technique for estimating the size of set intersections.

"

further

"
Method: The basic idea is as follows:

First, divide the key to be hashed into smaller "blocks" of a chosen length. Then, create a set of lookup tables, one for each block, and fill them with random values. Finally, use the tables to compute a hash value for each block, and combine all of these hashes into a final hash value using the bitwise exclusive or operation.[1]

I'm in my 30s and have had almost 0 experience in music before. I bought my toddler a xylophone a few months ago and I started playing random keys (just trying to improvise a melody on the spot) every day or so for less than an hour each time... Then after about a month, I found that I could teach myself to play pretty much any piece of music from memory in only a few minutes (national anthem level complexity). My improvised melodies have been getting better as well.

The xylophone helps a lot because each note has a different color and so I now associate each color with a particular sound. I tend to think of notes as (left to right) going from sad to happy. There are 2 notes I use as a reference which are 'emotionally stable'; one on the left (sad) side and one on the right (happy) side. On the left side, there is a blue note which I consider to be the last one in the 'sad' spectrum just before it gets happy... And on the right side, there is a yellow note which is at the end of the 'happy' spectrum just before the mood goes into a kind of mania.

According to the Lindy effect I predict it's got about 60 years left.
I get this a lot while reading about something new which I have heard might solve my problem, or while better trying to understand a system already in place. The documentation begins with a comforting high level description that is vague enough to sound like it might fit my use case, but then abruptly transitions into a table of contents listing the minutiae of interfaces, API calls, system components, without giving a suitable intermediary description of how any of these things might work in concert to actually solve the problem. This is left as an exercise to the reader.

You will almost never be offered any central insight from the author(s) about their mental framework for the system they have designed, or even that of the problem that it is intended to solve (so that you might more quickly determine whether your particular problem is a member of this class). Instead, I will often find this missing information presented in a random blog of some individual who, having won this knowledge through heroic effort, is determined to provide the context that they would have wished to find themselves upon first starting their journey.

Why does it have to be this difficult?

I suspect a lot of this has to do with the organization of companies involved (Google and Microsoft are some of the worst offenders here) in that the people writing the documentation are often not the people creating the systems, and so don't really understanding anything they are describing themselves. Meanwhile, those that designed the system suffer from the Curse of Expertise where their familiarity blinds them to things that are "obvious" to them, but are not actually inherent to the system they have designed. They are ignorant of all of the background understanding and experience that lead them to design the system or approach the problem in a particular way, when this is actually the most valuable thing I look for in any documentation I read.
Skimming the code, it seems to use bitwise and with a mask if the hash size is a power of two, which has the same caveats as described for Dinkumware (it's fast, but if your hash is poor it can have awful results), and uses modulo if not which has all the issues the article describes. This is encapsulated in a single file [1] so it looks like it'd be easy to improve.

> What was determined is is not economically viable which even SpaceX has started to realize on some launches where they ditch the landing in order to be able to carry more payload.

SpaceX hasn't "started to realize" that, they always knew that some F9 launches would be fully expendable and they've been occasionally expending F9 boosters from the start. Not because there's something wrong with the economics of booster reuse generally, but because expending a booster is sometimes (not usually) worth it to get more mass into orbit (roughly double to GTO with Falcon Heavy if they expend the core stage.)

That extra performance was always known to be required for some payloads, but isn't required for most payloads.

Back in the days of ARPANET mailing lists, there used to be an "educational" mailing list called "please-remove-me", that was for people who asked an entire mailing list to remove them, instead of removing themselves, or sending email to the administrative "-request" address.

So when somebody asked an entire mailing list to remove them, somebody else would add them to the "please-remove-me" mailing list, and they would start getting hundreds of "please remove me" requests from other people, so they could discuss the topic of being removed from mailing lists with people with similar interests, without bothering people on mailing lists whose topics weren't about being removed from mailing lists.

It worked so well that it was a victim of its own success: Eventually the "please-remove-me" mailing list was so popular that it got too big and had to be shut down...

I just got caught up in this one today working on an Ubuntu 23.04. Ironically, I was trying to re-install pipx, following an OS upgrade, in the user environment so that it could install apps without potentially breaking the system packages.

Reading the PEP, it recommends pipx but it recommends that you get it via your distribution instead of using pip --user which will no longer now work without the --break-system-packages flag. It also mentions the irony of that. Though I think in this case and if you don't want to use the distro packaged pipx, using the break flag won't cause any harm.

Refusing to return security deposits is absolutely a low income landlord strategy.

It was so endemic in Chicago that it was standard practice to withhold last month’s rent and send the landlord a letter saying to take the security deposit and send you a bill for any repairs.

This is both against the lease and financially equivalent to what an honest landlord would do, except the burden to get paid is now on the landlord.

If they have kept your security deposit in a separate, interest bearing account as the law requires[0] there should be no problem in the transaction.

0. Hahahahaha there was exactly one landlord I had who actually did this (not in Chicago) and returned my full security deposit with interest.
