Vindman is a perfect recent example of how easily this protections are skirted. He was a “key witness” in Trump’s first impeachment.

His career was largely derailed, and his post-retirement second career options are most likely severely limited.

To be specific (and iirc):

- He was not kicked out of the military. He retired due to “bullying” and a big congressional kerfuffle that was about to happen because of his delayed promotion to full bird.

- Iirc, he was told that he could remain in his career, but he would have to move from a hot shot track he was in to something like being commandant of a nowhere base in Alaska so he could lay low. Note that moves like this happen when being promoted to full bird, but I got the sense that this was not his trajectory pre-testimony.

- His post-retirement options probably exclude working at any organization that is pro-Trump and most that are pro-Republican, which is a not small number of DoD contractors (common landing spot for retired military).

- Note that his lawsuits were dismissed. This type of discrimination is fairly easy to do in such a way that makes it difficult to sue successfully, usually due to something like “documented personal opinion or discretion” that the discriminator had. Note that I have personally seen this knowingly done several times —- it was super creepy to see in action.

Wikipedia does a decent job of summarizing.

Some of his interviews were enlightening if you search for the links.
Yeah, I would think functional/function-based indexes should be mentioned. Add an index or add a redundant column? Almost all of time I would prefer the index.

Of course if your database can't be changed then maybe you can use this trick if there is already a suitable indexed column.

Is this the wildfire smoke from Northern Canada?

Here's the view from Fort McMurray, Alberta -- a drone video I took last week. Check out the swarm of birds at 2:30 or so in the video.

Fort McMurray had Canada's largest wildfire in 2016, and we don't have much more left to burn, but nearby smoke makes this place surreal.

https://youtu.be/GevKM4L8Nl8

Also, this is such a regular occurrence these days that we have websites that predict the smoke, like https://firesmoke.ca
That's very common in Finland and I think in many other countries in Europe. People use their water heaters, charge cars, etc. during the night when it's basically free.

>but I suspect that's the reason nobody's ever just forked Reddit and made their own.

People have absolutely made sites that have been described as "Reddit clones" - I never investigated enough to know if they were actually using a fork of the actual codebase.

But yeah, I wasn't suggesting that people use Reddit's source code to build a new Reddit. My point was, the functionality isn't difficult to build and certainly not a big "moat" - the difficulty in producing a better version of Reddit would almost certainly be in the softer side of things.

Although Reddit's modern interface is really bad. Like, really bad. And I am not one of those people who hates new stuff for being new or thinks SPAs are the devil or whatever. The performance is so bad it legitimately feels like something a coding bootcamp graduate cobbled together as a capstone project than something built by a team of skilled professional developers.

From things not loading. Like you bring up a post and the comments don't load. To the horrendous "video player". It's a complete fucking mess. So while I would say in a macro sense, there isn't a "moat" around the functionality they've done such a poor job that a well built front-end would go a long way.

But yeah, it would be a waste of time to actually try to use their backend code that has been open sourced, beyond referencing some business logic they added around fuzzing votes etc...
Oh, I feel it's pretty grating too, as a user.

There's also a pretty hard bias in what is considered political and what is not. When I happen to disclose my identity (which is considered very political, apparently), even if it is topical, I roll dice on having that comment be purged to hell no matter the value of the contribution. Depends a bit on the time of day, even.

The largest query I wrote was for estimating student loan repayments over a large time period. It solved a problem by running a dense 2 page query for 2 minutes in DB2 on a mainframe. The only way it ran at all was with many heuristic bounding conditions that limited the search space for the more specific conditions, as well as applying the most recent PTFs (patches) to increase query complexity limits. It wasn't however at all maintainable so was legacy code from day one.

Yeah I'm really curious what Apple's next-gen GPU (with raytracing and a bunch of other stuff) brings to fix some of these shortcomings. It was supposed to show up on last year's iPhone 14 followed presumably by inclusion in the M-series, and the 3nm process was supposed to be shipping this year, but everything got set back a year. In Mac-land the M2 wound up just being an overclocked M1, so we're left waiting for M3 to bring us a more competitive GPU.

The other half of the story is a lot of software (inc Blender, looking at these crazy results) just isn't well optimized and Apple is still struggling to win over developers in certain sectors of the market. Nvidia's decade+ investment in the software side has paid off so incredibly well for them, it's basically made the company.

I found out while travelling, around 20 years ago, my (then current) SO would get frustrated with the keyboards in different languages (all over the EU). She gave up even trying to use a different keyboard and started asking me to type for her (it sucks, her being restrained like that).

I also found out that it takes me <60s to pick up the new layouts on those physical keyboards (again, European variants)

Regardless of the layout, she is always faster than me on virtual keyboards.

Banning the domain actually doesn't work because people see that the domain is banned, observe that there's nothing wrong with the domain, and then accuse us of being unfair and hostile to the author/site. In doing that they usually jump to the most uncharitable, horrible reasons they can imagine for why we might have done so.

It doesn't work to say "but they asked us to ban their site" because there's no reliable way to get that message to people.

I went down the Grafana rabbit hole, and without a doubt, it's a fantastic tool. It can handle just about any kind of data you throw at it, and when it comes to visualizing time series data, it's second to none. That said, it's a slog to set up and configure, but once finished, I had a beautiful dashboard for my home media server, and life was good. Unfortunately, a few months later, I was forced to upgrade and lacked the time to reconfigure Grafana. So, as a stopgap, I installed Netdata... fast-forward two years, and today I still haven't reconfigured Grafana, nor do I plan to.

For my use case, a home media server, Netdata turned out to be way simpler to set up, and, most importantly, way less of a hassle/dink-around. It's a basic plug-and-play operation with auto-discovery. While the dashboard isn't nearly as beautiful or configurable, it gets the job done and provides everything I pretty much need or want. It offers a quick overview, historical metrics (over a year of data) to analyze trends or spot potential issues, and push/email notifications if something goes awry.

If you decide to go down this route, there are two major items:

1. You'll need to configure the dbengine[1] database to save and store historical metric data. However, I found the dbengine configuration documentation to be a bit confusing, so I'll spare you the trouble - just use this Jupyter Notebook[2]. If needed, adjust the input, run it, scroll down, and you'll see a summary of the number of days, the maximum dbengine size, and the yaml config, which you can copy, paste, and voila.

2. If you're hoarding data, you'll probably want to set up smartmontools/smartd[3] in a separate Docker container for better disk monitoring metrics. However, I think you can enable hddtemp[4] with Netdata through the config if you don't want or need the extra hassle. You can have Netdata to query this smartd container, but with a handful of disks, it ends up timing out frequently, so I found it's best to simply set up smartd/smartd.conf to log out the smartd data independently. Then all you need to do is tell Netdata where to find the smartd_log[5], and Netdata handles the rest.

Boom, home media server metrics with historical data, done. It still takes a bit of time to set up, but way less than Grafana. Anywho, hopefully, this saves you from wasting as much time as I did. And if you're looking for a smartd reference, shoot me a reply, and I'll tidy up and share my Docker config/scripts and notes.

40 million acres in US are used to produce ethanol, thats 10 - 15% of gasoline.

The same 40 million acres as solar fields, would cover 100% of electricity needs as well as work for some crops.

I actually tried that and it's very confusing, because now no keys are corresponding to new positions of English letters.

Still, I didn't yet find a way to make this layout default for a system: macOS refuses to use one of these on lock screen to enter password, but that's a minor inconvenience.
