Interesting idea!

It's a pity the 1440p monitor is garbage (250 nits is so not ok).

Ideally we could hype it up & make it awesome. Plug in the main monitor and there's a DisplayPort MST hub embedded in, which shows the 1200p eink tablet, and uses UWB or something to stream to it (UWB is overkill for such a low-bandwidth display but the idea of it being seamless is nice).

I graduated college around that time. Microsoft held an event on campus that took two hours, explaining how great it is to work at Microsoft. A month later Sun came to campus and spent two hours telling us how awful Microsoft is and we shouldn't have anything to do with them. What they didn't do was tell us why we should want to work for Sun. On a larger scale, Sun did seem to lose focus and concentrate too much on getting Microsoft back for making a faster and more stable JVM. What they didn't do was come up with improvements that users wanted. At least not at the rate they should have.

Maybe it depends on why you want to blog. I maintained a blog for probably 10 years, but in the end took to down. It was mostly a way for me to explore ideas and organise my thinking. As I got a bit older, I realised that this didn't really benefit from being done in public, so now I write what would have been blog posts and mostly never publish them.

That said, I do have a blog under an alias that I post to infrequently. Sometimes the spectre of an audience makes me write with more rigor.
Pardon my language in previous comment. I am just sad/angry because innocent people are being killed.

Governments are responsible when this happens and we need to raise our voices.

Your comment about "Hindu and Christian" might be valid. It might be a "western media propaganda" as well. But the main topic is that thousands of people got displaced, hundreds got killed/injured and that is the part that matters the most. How does it improves the outlook if they hadn't mentioned "Hindu and Christian" in the title? Does it become a happy news or does it bring glory to the name of government or India?

So imho, we should not dilute the topic by nitpicking when its a news about hundreds getting killed.

No need to be snide. Computer security is a lot harder to learn for most people because it's abstract and requires a degree of mental modeling that most consumers aren't equipped to perform. If it were as easy as you suggest businesses/ organizations would be invulnerable to phishing attacks, which they're obviously not. And entities like that have dedicated IT and HR staff to set up/train people, which consumers typically don't.
I don't have a ton of local knowledge of what is happening or the situation. But the power grab here is immense, and I cannot imagine how any company, regardless of budget, could hope to live up to these mandates, even if the oversight board was fair & balanced & could judge corporate performance reasonably, which they won't be & can't. And the suprnational overreach seems absurd; so far beyond their borders.
I have one even better, as a TA, twice I had students turn in 100% identical printouts of their code, with only a couple of variable name changes. Like someone grading them just wouldn’t notice. In one case it was 6 students who all turned in exactly the same program, printed out, on paper.

The department did nothing, and let them all re-do the assignment…

It's been working out fine for the Steam Deck. Sure, you can install Windows and/or any other storefront, but you won't have the console-like experience that Valve's own software provides.

It's trivially easy to install pirated games on the Deck, without any cracking or modification of the system. You never have to make a single Steam purchase after buying the Deck, but Valve's betting that you will. And they're right, that's enough. Most people don't go redoing or even tweaking the software stack on their hardware, they just stick with what comes out of the box.

Low wage industries struggle in high wage countries.

Globalization displaces natural local supply and demand outcomes.

The above two factors result in some very complex status quos.

For example, take the country of New Zealand, whose significant apple growing industry is largely for export purposes - ostensibly, sending good fresh highly-valued NZ apples to other countries, where they'll fetch max $.

Problem: apple workers are minimum wage jobs. Over recent decades, the minimum wage in NZ has risen by a great deal more than the price of apples has. Profitability slumped.

The powerful industry, rather than cede ground or change crops, instead loudly complained and politically lobbied to have special conditions put in place for their industry: since 2007, they can 'temporarily import' hundreds of foreign labourers from the islands of Tonga and similar - a special workforce of large muscled young men for whom any NZ wage is a fortune back home, and to whom the powerful orchardists and their cronies are like little gods.

The natural local market forces that-would-be are being manipulated for commercial purposes, with significant and complex environmental, economic, and cultural side effects.

Whose fault is it? What should we do instead?
> [...] the Internet made it trivially easy to data-mine subcultures [...] diluting their special meaning, [...]

It is a curious coincidence that the birth of the WWW (the part of the internet that enabled this) is temporally close to the collapse of the alternative system and thus the establishing of the "only viable alternative" (capitalism):

> This malaise, the feeling that there is nothing new, is itself nothing new of course. We find ourselves at the notorious ‘end of history’ trumpeted by Francis Fukuyama after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Fukuyama’s thesis that history has climaxed with liberal capitalism may have been widely derided, but it is accepted, even assumed, at the level of the cultural unconscious.[1].

I'm not an expert on copyright law, but I think "derivative work" probably does describe TOL. However:

I believe the defendant is entitled to ask for a jury trial. Once that was granted, though, the plaintiffs should have settled. There's no way a jury is going to understand what a derivative work is, and a jury trial is horrendously expensive.
Using anything other than Javascript in the browser is absolute madness, and I'm a python dude.

Apparently even walmart's great value grape juice that's half the price is apparently 100% grape juice.

Harvard isn't particularly close to Boston. It's 25-30 miles outside of Boston and outside of even I-495, the outer loop highway encircling Boston. (Still River, where the farm is, is on the far end of Harvard.)

Article says they used to farm two fields they owned and three they leased and have backing away from some of the leased land. From a quick search (unverified/fact-checked), it looks like it's a <20 acres of owned farmland, which would fetch close to $3M in all likelihood. Add $1M for buildings and equipment and, assuming no debt, it's a modest 7-figure estate, seemingly split two ways. Many regular employees on this board have more in investments than each of the owners of this farm and didn't have to farm for 60 years to get there.
I think that I see what thelastparadise is getting at. At base, most logfile output is a read-modify-write of usually no more than the final block of the file, whereas the sequential writes that are generally optimized for by filesystem and disc drivers are multiple-block writes sent as single output requests.

The twain are similar, but aren't exactly the same. Optimize for the cases where you are writing multiple blocks in a chunk, with contiguous free block allocation policies and write behind and whatnot, and you haven't in reality quite optimized for the case where what you're actually doing is overwriting the tail block in the file repeatedly, oftentimes changing as few as mere 10s of bytes in that block with each read-modify-write request.

(And yes, logging mechanisms often do like to ensure that logs are synchronously flushed to disc line by line, effectively and intentionally defeating write caching and write behind optimizations.)
Hypervisor support on Windows is extremely expensive for Microsoft to maintain. Would Microsoft have a judgement against them if they removed it from e.g. Windows 12?

Before hyper-v there was Virtualbox, which is a "you can build it if you spend your time building it". I'm asking if the situation is that Apple must build their hyper-v equivalent, or if they just need to allow third parties to build and publish software-based emulation engines.

All the peculiarities of NFS actually made it so operationally it is optimal for us to just have the NFS server be incredibly dumb. All the action is on clients. Modern Linux permits xattr and flock over NFS so everything will work out so long as you use precisely one kind of lock over NFS and do your xattrs over NFS as well.

Honestly, it would be pretty nice to have some sort of path locking and an ability to request delegation on NFS rather than have it be this automatic conflict-resolution style. But whatever, ultimately it works.

The problem arises with the way that this stuff is taught at a very elementary level, which then needs to be thrown away and relearned long after intuition and habits have formed around the old model. As an adult my reasoning is that it does indeed only do one thing: negation. it doesn't take anything away at all, if anything it actually adds information. Negating a four doesn't take it away, it just specifies a different (inverted) mapping of a given value with respect to zero. And this is still a very naive take, as someone with no background in number theory. But it's much more useful than say, Billy has four apples, he gives three to Mary, etc.
I believe the H from the oil (literally the hydrogen atom) is incorporated chemically into the resulting ammonia, which would be consistent with saying "oil is turned into fertilizer" in most worlds that I move through.

> I don't tell my parents how much I make. I'm definitely not telling some random recruiter.

FWIW, there are ways to not reveal that info, but also not lie.

For example, if a recruiter / employer starts fishing for my current salary, I just say "I'm not going to talk about that, but ...", followed by some carefully worded signal about my general salary expectations.

If lying in this context doesn't bother you in the slightest, then maybe you won't see value in this approach.

> Industrial farming depends on oil as a chemical input, because the soil has been sterilized and turned into dirt in most places by ammonia based fertilizers. The process of tilling the land resulted in most of the remaining dirt being eroded over the past century.

What a piece of nonsense bullshit.

1. Ammonia can be produced without any oil. Natural gas (not oil per se) is simply used as an easy way to produce hydrogen and the heat energy needed.

2. Nitrogen fertilizers do not "sterilize" the soil. Not even close to it. They in fact can cause bacterial overgrowth, as nitrogen is often the limiting nutrient for anything. Soil with fertilizer is extremely fertile for both agricultural plants and for microbial life.

3. Nitrogen fertilizers are _essential_ to survival. Without them, quite literally billions will starve.

4. "Soil depletion" is typically caused by the lack of micronutrients such as potassium, and can be managed by (you guessed it!) adding fertilizers. Some other causes such as salt accumulation due to irrigation are more complicated.

> Without that oil to turn into fertilizer, the only other chance is to have ruminants actively managed on a regenerative farm growing both meat and produce.

Sigh. People should REALLY learn how the nitrogen cycle works.
Sorting the code search results by date has often been my only guide in a breadth-first search, to find out how to use an API in a recent state of the ecosystem, that I am working with.

I am working with .NET and .NET has seen lots and lots of changes in the past years. I often have to see the usage of a library in the current form of the .NET ecosystem, instead of say, an outdated .NET Framework project from 5 years ago.

Is there any equivalent for doing such a search in the new Code Search?

Great. Thank you for following up.
USDOT says 1.34 deaths per 100,000,000 miles driven. Assuming 32mph average speed[1] that's 1 death per 2,332,089 hours driven.

There were 40 students killed in school shootings in 2022 [2]. Assuming 50M students and 2K hours/year in school that equates to 1 death per 2,500,000,000 hours spent in the classroom.

The difference is a factor of 1,072 meaning that if you drive with your kid for 2 hours, you have exposed them to a higher risk of dying in a traffic accident than an entire year of risk from school shootings.

Definitely a stat I'll keep in my back pocket.

I've used Syncthing in the past to keep different volumes in "sync" in a distributed system. The API was simple enough to plug into an orchestration framework, and for quick/dirty projects it's phenomenal.

Right now I'm actually using it for a very small minecraft server on Fly.io. The game server runs on a "bigger" instance, and there's a web server running on a much smaller (and therefore "free") instance, for displaying the game map and similar things. Syncthing copies the generated squaremap tiles to the webserver, so when the game server is down, the map is still available

Honestly - I rather dislike this change. I'd much rather have 0 & -0 be precisely equal to each other and have some obscure library function like `isNegativeZero` for the extremely rare cases they'd need to be differentiated. 0 and -0 being distinct values is honestly just an accident of convenience with how floats are stored - there are two bit patterns that result in a value of 0 but because they're different patterns we've assigned an unwarranted amount of distinction to them.
The cost of a cars has risen lower than the rate of inflation for nearly the past 90 years, and for much of the time period when cars were getting computerized (since the late 90s) average new car prices dropped rather than went up. All the while cars were getting safer (seat belts, airbags, crumple zones) and far more reliable.

https://www.in2013dollars.com/New-cars/price-inflation

The most recent price spike is a direct result of the pandemic supply chain issues and car makers shutting down manufacturing capacity in anticipation of a consumer collapse that didn't happen (instead the opposite happened).
