Initially, I wanted to reply to you and say it's unfair to judge the person as incompetent; I still think it's a bit unfair because they develop a specialized library and their choice of hosting shouldn't need to be modernized at every step.

However, reading through their response thread [0] I do think they aren't appearing particularly mature. It feels like they are refusing to characterize what is actually going on and digging in and escalating this defensive mindset.

IIUC, you can add "on" triggers to the GitHub Actions to only build on the original repository. That would prevent this issue. Making the change in this repository would require having the forks updated, so maybe the owner can then reach out to the owners of the forks asking them to update.
The webOS client runs at an amazing 1fps.

For random episodes Plex decides it must transcode (even though they play just fine over DLNA). (I have transcoding disabled so it just refuses to play those.)

Randomly just a blank screen after the last episode in a deck is done playing.

Resuming from screensaver ends up in a broken user select screen half of the time. One time it was even showing the user select while the remote was still blindly controlling the UI hidden behind the logon, as the last user.
On the home page they have a comparison table with other VPN providers, including Mullvad. One of the comparisons is "Require no Personal Data on sign up" and it's a green checkmark for both themselves and Mullvad. Yet when I click sign up, I get asked for a username, an optional email, and password. To imply this is on the same level as Mullvad, where you're already done when you click sign up, feels a bit disingenuous.

Do you know if the dis-recommendation of SKIs also applies to AKIs? I know they’re similarly (but slightly less) flexible, so moving away from them would (seem) to be a win as well.
Just watching this, there's something very realistic about it. Not in terms of graphics but in terms of how chaotic actual urban warfare often is, in a way that I've never really seen properly depicted in a video game.

The Ambersons Project – Restoring Welles' “The Magnificent Ambersons”
What’s wrong with opt-in telemetry?
It is not that the commit was wrong. It was the right commit, in the sense that it did expose and trigger the bug. OP is being too modest :)

But the root cause of the bug was in another earlier commit. In a complex system such as the linux kernel, there could be multiple contributing factors. Both the "introducing a sleep" and the "root bug" are contributing factors, but we as engineers tend to think of the "root bug" as the actual problem, because we like more elegant explanations. Also, the "root bug" is likely something that goes against the ethos of the software project, and "common sense best practices", to a much larger degree than "introducing a sleep" is.
That seems extremely unlikely.

But anyway, shouldn't it be considered good form to keep random unfalsifiable beliefs to oneself since they can't be part of a conversation on reality?
I’ll bite. What non-stock asset has a chance of surpassing inflation? Not commercial real estate at the moment…. And commodities don’t strike me as the non-stock alternatives they’re talking about. If people have inflation+percent bond alternatives, please post.
Exactly.

I got to uk 12 years ago and it’s been cool at the time, but a steady decline the whole way. The place I left was developing and has now evened or surpassed UK by many quality of life metrics. The trend will probably continue.

Now I am wondering why I moved, at great cost to myself. When I tell locals about this, I’d hope they would be as annoyed about decline in living standards as I am, but they sometimes get offended. Apparently comparing Britain to ‘inferior’ countries is offensive.

If by "public transportation" we restrict ourselves to short-range metropolitan services, as used for commuting, all else being equal then the answer is no.

The reason for this "no" depends on whether we're talking about an area where public transport is highly developed (e.g. most urban areas of Western Europe and Japan) or areas in which it is underfunded and underdeveloped and is mostly seen as transport for poor people (e.g. most of the USA except NYC).

In the case of developed public transportation the answer is no, because simply adding first class would decrease capacity, which at rush hour is already at its limits. Hence, while a first class may attract a few new users, it would necessarily decrease the overall capacity of the system resulting in fewer users overall.

In the case of underdeveloped transportation, the answer is also no. The reason is that simply adding a first class to an insufficiently planned and inefficient network would still be little more than a more comfortable alternative for the less poor users to use said inefficient and insufficiently planned network through the city. In other words, the only people who would use it were those who were already doing so, be it out of principle (environmentalism), necessity (foreign students) or convenience (the bus just happens to be the perfect route to work and they can read a book on it), but who can actually afford this newly introduced first class. So, no net gain in terms of users.

If you want to increase the number of users of public transportation you don't need first class. You need more capacity and better and more efficient networks.
This is more or less equivalent to a try_lock() operation, yeah? And continuing to collect to the local buffer if try_lock fails, up to some limit.

I would love a way to view all homepage graphics history of an archive.org page without needing to manually go back the years.

Many companies ditch their SVG graphics after a redesign, but a lot of those SVGs have nice patterns that can be borrowed.
I had a look and I’m not seeing the claimed substantial COIs at all? The studies were either publicly/government/hospital/university/charity funded, or states 'no funding'. None of the studies were run or funded by pharma. A few of the authors consults/consulted for some biotech companies. A few received personal/research funds and grants, which is not uncommon with more prolific researchers.

Financial COIs and funding also don’t seem like grounds to outright exclude or dismiss studies; good practice is probably to identify and report the funders/COIs, and evaluate the risk of bias (study design/methods, publication/reporting bias etc.) and certainty of evidence. If there are enough studies, can probably do a sensitivity analysis excluding studies with industry/financial bias. Typically it appears to be considered for industry, pharma and manufacturer funded studies, which are apparently more likely to have report positively.

Anyway, none of this should change the fact that there just doesn’t appear to be any evidence that Foxx was ‘blinded and partially paralysed' after 'vaccine complications'; just appears to be a completely unsubstantiated/made-up claim.

And as the article mentioned, only the viral vector jabs have been associated with blood clots, with a very low incidence; we don't know if Foxx took a viral vector jab (or any vaccine at all) in the days/weeks before his symptoms appeared.
This assumes that “not alive” implies “not intelligent”, and thus “intelligent” implies “alive”. I don’t think we’ve seen enough different intelligences to even pose that as a hypothesis.

(Note: I’m not claiming they are intelligent, but IMO modern models certainly blur the lines. I think they aren’t intelligent because they cannot have original thoughts, but then, what counts as an original thought? Can good interpolations or extrapolations be discriminated from original thoughts? And how do you prove that any single human can have original thoughts?)

> Or and that's a second option: it's money laundry.

That part is bullshit unless you accuse the author of being a part of it. Money laundering is about getting part of your dirty money in some form of clean income. Here it would only work if the person receiving the money would be in on the scheme and spend it accordingly. That would be a crime, btw.
Yeah, but this is a game theoretical problem. Let's assume this: the rich per capita emitters say we should look just at absolute number (a metric that by pure coincidence makes them look better) and the worst absolute emitters say we should look only at per capita emissions (a metric which coincidentally makes them look better).

The issue there is that both are right in a certain way. We need to get the absolute emissions down, but to do so fairly the worst emitters per capita should commit to the biggest savings.

Now if both stiffly insist on their position we end up worse off in the long term than if one just gave in.

Reminds me of a PM I used to work with. "Will this work for 1000 simultaneous users?" After almost 2 months, we have less than 100 users total, maybe 5 of them log in a day, and maybe 1 will actually do anything of interest.

There is no technical problem. The problem is nobody worked on actually marketing the product. Build it and nobody shows up is the norm.
Compromising a CA doesn’t “get” you anything in the web PKI scheme: holding the CA’s private key doesn’t get you access to individual end entity keys, and issuing a new certificate with it loudly announces your presence due to CT.

Intelligence agencies are, in all likelihood, far more interested in obtaining individual end entity keys than they are in CAs.
Speakers are different than headphones. With speakers you have a sweet spot, if your head is not in that sweet spot than the stereo image is blurred in someway and that image is affected by room reflections, the stuff in the room, volume setting, etc. This is why headphones are common for mixing, when you lean over to adjust that preamp you take the stereo image with you instead of moving out of it. We are more tolerant of speakers in this regard (from the studio standpoint) since the stereo image with speakers changes with your position and is rarely accurate compared to headphones. Midrange is the most important part and it is where the bulk of the information is for most of our music and our hearing, we get a lot more wiggle room in the bass and the highs.

It does depend, we don't always need or want that perfect stereo image but it makes mixing easier to have it available.
I used to believe in Effective Altruism but the older I get the more I realise that it’s just another “feel good” philanthropy for rich people movement with completely warped values around so called rationality, utilitarianism and technological saviour complexes. If one reads the website and the projects accomplished most of them are completely vapid. Malaria nets? AI assignment research? Some high brow research institute? Real help is helping people to improve their lives at a personal level, not saving them a couple of bucks while banking. To anyone reading this, don’t fall for this. It’s no wonder Sam Bankman Fried was so closely advocating for Effective Altruism, it’s just the same old virtue signaling, but with a bit of rationality injected in.

Roblox also broke Linux/Proton support recently, supposedly for anti-cheat reasons.
That sums up my experience. I found Jellyfin’s media organization better for personal videos (ie. not movies or shows). Plex tries hard to make it match its brackets but the end result is a bit chaotic.

I ended up choosing Plex because of Jellyfin’s issues with transcoding (I’m lazy to pre-transcode all media to Apple native/ compatible formats). It would randomly just crash on me.

And second reason was the really poor AppleTV app. (It was in TestFlight back then, not sure where it’s at now).

And third, unavailability of downloading to devices.
> Plex in a Docker container

This... what's it matter if its hard to get running in linux? you only have to get it running once and bam - you run your server in a container of that.

Could take a rocket scientist working on it... but once it's done? it's done. the container maintainer occasionally releases updated versions doing the same thing that worked previously.

I have Plex running on docker on a QNAP with a dedicated graphics card and rarely have issues (other than my own stupidity).

Not the original poster, but I’ve been married 13 years. My spouse is liberal, and I was originally conservative.

I feel like back in the day, the political spectrum was more narrow and although there were disagreements it was more on how to apply the law, not on if a law should exist at all.

Roe v Wade for example is from 1973. This law was established in my childhood, and as a nominal conservative I support it. Removing it is a radical change, leading to an alien landscape where people are fleeing newly antiabortion states and refusing job offers on the basis of what laws they have to live under. Life, death, and medical care are too fundamental to be left to the states. If you do, then do you really have a strongly knit country?

I’ve digressed a bit, but I think the stakes have changed so people on both sides of the spectrum share little common ground.
While it is true that many public IRC channels publish logs on the web, I cannot remember the last time such a log ever showed up in my google results. It virtually never happens. If somebody's primary concern with discord is search engine indexing (rather than discord being a for-profit company, not a federated service? rather than the discord desktop app spying on the other programs you run? rather than discord requiring most people to hand over their phone number to use the service?) then surely they have the precise same beef with IRC if they stop to think about it.

Honestly, not being indexed by google is the least offensive aspect of discord. For most people these days I think it is actually a benefit. Tides are changing, common people are becoming apprehensive about their words being immortalized in some ledger easily accessible to the public which future employers will be able to trawl through for disqualifying out-of-context remarks. The objective in such chat rooms like discord and IRC is to make ephemeral connections to other people and discuss things in the moment, not to build up a semi-permanent corpus of information for the benefit of people googling things in the future.
Hard to tell if you are being sarcastic, or if we are really in that stupid of a timeline.
Depends when on the Caltrain. During rush hour? Definitely not but I started offsetting my commute by even a half hour and the Caltrain was usually pretty empty, enough to stretch out and close my eyes.

I’d befriended the operators/conductors on my routes and they’d always tell me when there was a nice open spot somewhere too during rush hour.

But I do agree with your point that the comfort did leave something to want for. That, and security. Napping on public transit is an easy way to get pick pocketed.
I believe Saying simple > complex doesn’t actually mean anything because it’s effectively impossible to pin down definitions. They are totally in the eye of the beholder. Solutions that are simple in one axis almost always trade of complexity in other axes.

I feel the same way. I don't enjoy cycling and walking at all and I certainly don't want to share vehicles with other people. I don't really enjoy driving either but it's the least bad and most comfortable form of transportation. What you said about climate control is extremely important to me. It's very hot where I live, just standing outside makes me anxious to the point my blood pressure spikes. Not having a car is just unfathomable to me and if my city starts screwing things up to favor bicycles I will move out of here.
I think, for now, the answer to that is to plug in power through USB-C if you need more than 2 hours of continuous usage.

You're absolutely right. But I would argue "cities" is no less vacuous than my wording.
Oh, right. Didn't see it from that angle, my bad.

All the current "forks" of Chromium basically rely on continued development by Google, saving them from having to invest in all the engineers necessary to work on, maintain and develop a proper fork. So they can limit the size of their engineering teams to what's necessary for developing surface-level features like vertical tabs (Edge) or built-in adblocking and ... uh ... crypto (Brave).

I'd say Microsoft throwing in the towel and building a flavour of Chromium instead shows that there's no corporation out there that's going to be willing to make a real fork.

The only reason why Ladybird exists at all is because it's a part of SerenityOS, which was started because the founder wanted to make his own OS for daily use. Like, of course the guy's gonna write his own browser instead of just forking Chromium.

Jellyfin is an admirable effort and I want to use it, but I use the "Play together" feature a lot and on Jellyfin it's just not that great. Desynchs occur and seeking will usually break the session. Plex handles this exactly as you'd expect. TBH it's still not perfect but it's a lot more reliable than Jellyfin.

Agree with the article, I just wished it wasn't conflating "bullshit / actual harmful content" as much with "stuff that is valid, but in a given context".

200% that nothing online, (nor IRL to be fair), should be taken as universal truth. I see that same at conferences, with certain topics/fads/trends being absolutely overrepresented compared to what's actually happening on the ground.

However, IMHO many things come more naturally in a Bayesian setting, such as hierarchical models.
The significant cost comes from contending on memory. Changing the synchronization primitive doesn't help much. You have to change your algorithm not to contend.

This is significant because if you profile your code and find that a mutex is expensive, you should change your algorithm to avoid contention rather than blindly trying to change the code to use atomics instead of mutexes.
Mars Declared Unsafe For Humans: No one can survive for longer than four years
I think the impact of advancements in computing could be mitigated by giving certain guarantees about the best-case and worst-case scenarios for computing advancements. For example, rather than saying "this will take 35 years to crack" you could say "this will decrypt in 20-45 years, depending on how much computing efficiency improves".
Nah, that’s just semantics at this point.

Mullvad runs the “random user generator” function for you and just gives you a random number. This lets you run that random generator yourself. If you’re concerned about personal information, the final result is the same.

Mullvad makes it so that you can’t even accidentally give them information they don’t need. This leaves it up to your own discretion. I don’t think it’s disingenuous.
