This only works if you live close to truly natural spaces, and where I live even forests are urban spaces. Also, would your car get you through the desert or a virgin forest?

I can get to beaches, forests, mountains by cycling or taking the train there with the right level of infrastructure to accommodate me and my family while still feeling in nature.
Would be super effective to live on premise, and not have a partner/kids (huuuuge loss of time), to have nutrition handled by intravenous feeding tubes, diapers so that you don't have to go to the bathroom anymore, we could work until 80 too after all!

Security, Productivity, and ZTNA with Tailscale Enterprise
Tailscale’s ease of setup and use is one of the reasons so many individuals choose our free plan to run their homelabs. With a few clicks they can add devices to their tailnet, manage access controls for users, and with a little magic, host a private Minecraft server for their friends. The fun doesn’t have to stop when Steve drops his ax—bring the magic of Tailscale to work.
I strongly suspect that there is, I've seen this effect in play so many times at smaller timescales, and you'd expect to be even stronger at longer ones
> I've seen similar sample sizes in medical journals, but I wouldn't necessarily call those junk.

Unless those small sample sizes are justified by rigorous statistical modeling, showing that the result is still significant even with the small sample size, such studies absolutely are junk.

The burden is on the researcher to demonstrate that their experimental design is suitable for obtaining meaningful results. Failing to do so is the definition of junk science.

And needless to say, lack of statistical knowledge is not an excuse for not doing this. If a medical scientist is unable to perform an accurate statistical analysis of their data, it means that they cannot publish – not that they can skip that part because it's too difficult for them. The entire study is meaningless without it.

I'm talking about his presidency. The breakup of Yugoslavia was decades ago, and it was falling apart by itself, not because of anything a specific US senator did. Of course lots of mistakes were made by many parties around the breakup of Yugoslavia; by the US, by various European countries, and most importantly of course by several Serbian leaders. It's a bit much to blame it all on Biden. But it was falling apart no matter what the US or EU did, unless you want them to support genocide.

It is true that Biden was heavily involved in foreign affairs during that time, but that may actually be why he might currently be the perfect president to have during the war in Ukraine. For a US president, he's doing a much better job at finding a good balance in supporting Ukraine without escalating than I can imagine any other recent president would have done.

Was Biden responsible for the drone strikes? I thought that was Obama's thing. It was certainly a terrible atrocity and something that should never have happened. With Obama's presidency I had high hopes and ended up mostly disappointed. With Biden, I had very low expectations, but he's surpassed them. Not my favourite guy, but definitely better than Trump. Better than Bush. Possibly even better than Obama.

Although I'm deeply disappointed about his union busting. Train union busting, even. I thought he liked trains. That is where I expected much better from him.

I'm sure they'll have some success. But if I was the engineering manager or technical lead for teams like this, I would be cautious. From a hiring/staffing point of view it is foolish and probably unnecessary; there is a large pool of talent trained in existing web framework tech, and generally most web applications do not need the latency guarantees that come with a non-GC language like Rust. If you're trying to staff and maintain a team doing this kind of thing, picking boring old TypeScript and staffing up with excellent senior engineers and just applying rigorous quality controls and engineering standards to the codebase makes more sense. It gives you better ability to bring on new staff, and to use existing frameworks.

FWIW I worked in ad serving for some years (at Google and prior) and much of that work is done in C++ because of millisecond granularity P99, etc. latency concerns. Rust is a natural fit there, even though that is nominally "web serving"; but that's a different domain than serving up database-backed microservices for typical web customer workloads; that stuff is on the whole I/O blocked and not impacted by GC sweeps.

Y'all need to visit Amsterdam and Rotterdam at least once in your life. One is an old city, the other was (re)built from scratch in 50s and 60s "for cars". Both have great cycling infrastructure and decent public transport. These things are doable.

Good luck to all who are trying to change the unsatisfying status-quo elsewhere.
Don't use Grafana for logs. Its (or any other basically, including Kibana or Graylog) interface sucks and I used Metabase which has much more friendly interface to show logs in tabular format instead of throwing raw logs like the others.

I collect logs with Vector on each instances and sent to central ClickHouse which Metabase reads from.

See e.g. this wrong factorial implementation:

int fun(int n){

if (n==1 || n==2){

return 1;

}else{

return fun(1) + fun(n-2);

}

}

"The function recursively calls itself twice, with n-2 and 1 as arguments. This creates a binary tree with a depth of n, and each node has two children. Therefore, the total number of nodes in the tree is 2^n. Since each node represents a function call, the time complexity is O(2^n)."

Good point. It's telling that many Nix vs. Guix discussions focus on three topics: DSL, popularity, and non-free packages. Few people talk about package quality control even though it's rather crucial for day-to-day use.

Whether or not you can live without a car depends on the person and the area, so it is difficult to generalize.

I have lived in Seoul for more than 30 years, and this city has excellent public transportation and severe traffic congestion, so the utility of having a car is not great. For example, it takes about 50 minutes to get home by public transportation after work, but it usually takes 1 hour and 20 minutes by car.

In addition, I have to pay an annual insurance of $400 and a tax of $130, even if I don't use it even 1 km a year. And I actually don't use my car very often. I usually use it once a month, and my annual mileage is no more than 2000 km.

Even so, I haven't sold my car yet. This is because it is much more efficient to use a car sometimes. But I don't know if it's right to spend hundreds of dollars every year like this.
I've lived in the rural midwest almost all of my life and have never really had the option to not have a vehicle.

I lived in Mountain View, CA for six months to try a relocation experiment and was quite happy with my bike and using public transportation or renting a car as needed. It certainly helped that my employer had a shuttle service for rainy days and the availability of same day shipping from major retailers and Amazon didn't hurt. I was pretty impressed with how easy it was to do overall, though.

Moving back to my home in the midwest, it would be completely unsustainable and dangerous here. But I've found some trails and still get out on the bike regularly.
Exactly.

In theory this is not a big deal because of the 10th amendment and the states having legislatures that provide some level of urban/rural balance. In practice, it's more complicated.

> ...I'm actually looking for "the next language" to come after [Rust].

It would really be a better approach to work on getting Rust to adopt the features of Zig you're looking for. The work it goes into developing a language into a mature option is absolutely massive. Developing a full-featured language, building a (healthy) community around it, building dev mindshare/marketshare, building trust that it's sustainable, etc is a many-years effort by many talented and dedicated people. It's a huge amount of work when you could achieve the same output by adding a certain feature or two to rust.

Of course the leadership is a bit broken right now, but they may (or may not) be able to fix it.

There's also the Typescript approach. That is, extend rust with a comptime feature wrapper. Not nearly as elegant, but you don't need to work with broken rust leadership to develop it and, if it gains traction, you may then have the leverage to get it rolled in to the real thing (if you even want to at that point).

While this is a meta analysis in general I suspect it is not easy to get and retain study participants for decade-long studies.
There is no C demon. The OS ABI is (de facto — please spare the de jure nitpickery) a bunch of symbols you can call and a calling convention for them. You call into that ABI. What language is used to implement the other side of that ABI is irrelevant.

The fact that this ABI is called "libc" doesn't really mean a whole lot. Neither is the fact that the same library contains a whole bunch of functions primarily useful to programs written in C.

Exactly this.

Clean water used to be controversial decades ago, but is now considered essential.

Decades from now, I predict that clean air will be considered essential also.

And just as there are mandates (not recommendations) for clean water, so too do I expect that sooner or later we will have mandates for clean air. With corresponding boost to public health.
A bit less. It just seems like a service that is "easy" to host, as in does not need much maintenance or ressources, thus allowing you to host tens of instances on a cheap VPS.

Here's the thing. There is a decent body of evidence for chiropractic and therapeutic touch if I'm honest. People find relief from pain by going to a chiropractor, but they also find similar results getting a massage.

It's basically impossible to separate the benefits of talk (social interaction, validation, etc) from the talk therapy. Lots of people whould probably be served just as well if they had someone much less trained, or not even trained at all to talk to in a similar manner.

Furthermore as the social bonds disintegrate studies suggest that individuals have less friends and less interpersonal interaction generally (social media use excluded) at the same time the need for psychologists has increased. In some demographics over half the members have been diagnosed with a mental illness. How can we be sure that all of the sudden lots of people have become mentally ill vs lots of people need someone to listen to them?
I can't tell whether the author doesn't know, or is pretending to have no idea, that most systems do not offer a stable system call ABI.

Windows is the most obvious example. Microsoft does not officially document most of their system calls, and makes no promises that they work how you think they do/ how your unofficial documentation claims they do, or that what worked yesterday will keep working, the official documented APIs are to userspace code that you didn't write.

But this is also common on the other Unix systems besides Linux. You define the libc API as what you're promising and then you deliver or don't deliver features in your syscall ABI and the libc handles the slack.

You are narrowly focusing on developer tools. (Or not—there are places where you keep saying "software" where it only makes sense to interpret it as "software (sold to other software developers".) The article is about mold, but I specifically replied to the claims of someone commenting about the difficulty of "monetising _any_ type of software".

(I had a whole paragraph about how selling developer tooling to developers is hard, but that doesn't account for all software markets. I took it out, because it made the post too long and was already belaboring a point that was out of scope. I maintain that there are circumstances where selling software to SMBs is way easier than what's on the other side of the fence. Consider: developing a payments app for coin-operated laundromats that allows them to issue credits for people who want to pay with a card instead of quarters vs the business comprising the laundromat itself. The laundromat has geographical constraints that just don't apply to the app developer—who can sell as many copies as they're able to to anyone pretty much anywhere. They can also rip out a huge chunk and repurpose it for a different type of payments app that has nothing to do with laundromats—and the app can be shitty, like most enterprise software, because the laundromat owner is not the user and is only thinking about the fact that the app enables something now that was not possible before. In contrast, the laundromat itself is affected by not just whether there are enough people in the city to carry the business forward, but the specific location within the city where the laundromat is placed.)

Today is a holiday in my state in Germany and being absent minded I realized too late. If I had a car, I could just hope in and drive somewhere in the forest and have a small hike. To do the same with public transport, one needs to plan ahead and time everything perfectly. For example, the bus to take you back after the end of the hiking trip is only at the bus stop every hour, and only up till 5pm.
And owning a car does not mean you have to drive it to work everyday. I will probably buy a car in the near future, but I'll probably still commute with public transport. At least as long as I still live in a city.

EDIT: If everyone ditched their cars, the housing crisis that is currently happening in literally every city in the developed world, will only get much worse.
You have a very odd way of framing historical events. The US govt's own website contradicts the claim that assistance with rebuilding Europe was out of "benevolence":

> The necessities of commercial growth dictated continued government support for overseas private investment. That, in turn, drove the United States to further engage with both with Latin America and the rebuilding of Europe in the 1920s.

Regardless, all of the policies I mentioned happened in the US, which was nowhere near as affected by the war (albeit disillusioned with it).
I think one of the reasons that PHP initially got a bad rap here years ago is that one of the simplest documentation sources online, W3schools, initially had some code examples that were obviously insecure. If I remember right, it was putting raw user-submitted text directly in the database query or something like that without escaping it in any way.

PHP code in the wild can be really awful or perfectly great.
Nix is also generally run as a daemon. It doesn't have a dependency on systemd and it does run on MacOS. I think also it runs on FreeBSD in principle.

The parent poster was probably conflating NixOS and Nix. NixOS is a way of using nixpkgs to build/configure and install/upgrade an operating system based on Linux and systemd. But you are not obligated to use systemd just because you're using nixpkgs.

NixOS uses sytemd for essentially the same reason other Linux distributions do: most user environments are now built with the assumption that systemd underlies them if Linux does as well. In principle you could fork nixpkgs and make all the necessary changes to remove the systemd assumption - managing a NixOS system and hacking on nixpkgs are basically the same skillset so it's not like managing an Ubuntu system where you would have to become familiar with how Ubuntu gets built. With nixos, the command is the same whether you're building an entirely new distribution based on a custom fork or whether you're just downloading builds of the latest security upgrades. Aside from the actual energy it takes to maintain a second system manager, you would only have to wait for the builds to complete rather than learning how to build everything. But so far no-one who has tried that has got enough traction - the cost-benefit just isn't there. Honestly, I think this is part of the reason people are offended by NixOS in particular using systemd: it feels like it should be possible for you to remove the systemd dependency, but you haven't done it.

> Unless of course the abiogenesis theory is correct, in which case oil and at least some natural gas are also dead-star fuel.

I don't see how whether abiogenesis theory is correct or not matters here. The energy trapped in oil and natural gas is not from "life" but from the sun. Of course it wouldn't have accumulated without life, but that is not the source of the energy.
