Yes I'm not saying don't leave a message telling people you care about so, I just don't personally think it belongs with this 'admin' stuff. I'd find it an unwelcome reminder of them the person, and it would make dealing with it all a lot more challenging.

When I moved a while ago there was one box (large moving box) that I didn't unpack for years because I knew it had such a reminder in. (Turned out it wasn't in there after all, but still.)

Slavery, AFAICS.
The same happens in reverse:

Conservatives will document how a lack of principles means that a mechanism in society will converge to something damaging, to have Progressives shout about how they’re “istaphobes” without that even being a relevant complaint.

They’re particularly vicious about that when conservatives point out that the proposed systemic solution converges to a breakdown in society or worsening of the situation — eg, trying to use systemic bigotry to “solve” systemic bigotry.

These shallow bullying articles get spread around a network of blogs, small media outlets, YouTube channels, etc. and then dominate search results.
Those suppliers would be subject to the same regulations when supplying to the big players. They should have all that stuff already available once it's in force.

Mandate unfiltered cigarettes.

I actually wonder, at this point, just what parts of the design of a cigarette are not subject to regulation?
In terms of software hiccups, for someone with little time to debug, is it worth the cost savings?
That "Xeon" is a very old (10-year old) quadruple-core (8-thread, i.e. 8 "virtual CPUs") desktop Haswell CPU rebranded as "Xeon". A current Intel NUC Pro with a Core i3 CPU would be a much faster (67% faster ST, 43% faster MT) dedicated server than this one and it would cost to own less than $500 with DRAM and SSD, so about $8 per month for a 5-year lifetime (so the performance per $ would be at least 5 to 6 times higher than that of the compared Intel server).

That "Xeon" is a good comparison point only because it was available for them in the same price range, not because it would be representative for the performance of any modern x86 CPUs. Also the "Epyc" is probably a very old model.

Somebody who wants to spend their money for cloud services as efficiently as possible should better ensure that it is possible to migrate back and forth their applications between x86 and ARM instances, because which one is cheaper for a certain performance at a given time depends a lot on non-technical reasons, so it is unpredictable which will be cheaper a few months later.
All these Financial guides are very interesting. But beware of falling into the illusion of being a good-enough active investor. It's like entering the Pro league as an overconfident amateur. The other players are the best in the universe. And they have cybernetic extensions: algorithmic trading with virtually limitless amounts of resources and information. And sometimes they have "alpha" you'll never, ever get your hands on. They prey on "dumb money" like naive/retail investors and pension/mutual funds.

And at these times of high rates and inflation, the only safe move seems to be money market accounts and take the delta inflation hit. Try to focus your time in more valuable things like your friends and family. And keeping your sources of income.

No, Xeon Server is a dedicated server(a.k.a Bare metal), I've looked at it's console and found it's Dell PowerEdge R220(Motherboard Dell Inc. 081N4V).

I'm quite confused about it's performance as well.

Do you think only people from the countryside pay the taxes that finance the roads? Or even mainly?
Simply the observation that my programming ability isn't restored by doing some things, but is restored by doing others.

Because I haven't done an RCT, there are potential confounds. Perhaps I'm more likely to reddit (vs go outside) when I'm lower on energy to begin with. And there's a lot of noise, and the metrics are subjective.

Also: relaxing takes some practice. One can sit in a beautiful place with spa music playing and still have one's mind buzzing, so it wouldn't be restorative. Taking a proper mental rest took me years to get good at.

Another caveat: "mental energy" is a metaphor that may not exactly correspond to something physical like neuron ATP levels or whatever. And there are many parts of the brain, and different activities use different subsets, so activities overlap in strange ways. Still, as far as self-cognitive-science goes, I'm relatively confident in this observation.
I would guess the hack included data that's not included in those services. Licenses, for example, often come with an audit/validation number that allows for things like online change of address, useful for identity theft. And probably other data elements that are also sensitive (SSN, etc).
I think the best thing we can do is bury all the nuclear waste. And to avoid any future generation excavating it, mark it's location, and to stand the test of time, build a massive stone pyramid on top of it. In 5000 years people will be able to figure that out.

While I was one of the many users who migrated from Digg to reddit in 2007-2009, I'm mostly basing my assertions off the perspective of the Digg engineer who launched Digg v4, and the article they wrote [1] on the topic.

From this inside perspective, it's very clear that Digg was already dying long before the launch of Digg v4; They explictly state that Digg v4 was pushed out the door early, as a gamble, because they only had so much runway before the remaining VC cash ran out.

They knew it was a disaster and decided to launch it anyway.

I'll admit, that from the perspective of the average Digg user in 2010 it would seem like Digg was perfectly healthy, then suddenly shat the bed by pushing out digg v4. But really, the digg v4 launch only served to communicate to the users that the site was dying.

You can not just go around and develop land today. First you need to take a survey, soil samples, water quality control, and then during digging and construction there are all kind of different dangerous. Most countries in EU still have a bunch of bombs in the ground left over from world war 2, and they will be there until someone finds them and disarms them. Soil and water contamination from industry is anyone guess, and protected archeological finds are only more likely to be found in 300 years than it is today. There will never be a .docx file to tell you that a specific land was the dumping ground for lead by-products in 19th century.

Land developers are not allowed, nor will ever be allowed to just assume that some land has never been used before. Too much of history is undocumented, and what is documented is not reliable.
First the general doc then the tests.
I suppose my point is the person is fairly 'freshly dead' as you say, but not immediately, people don't (at least in my experience) deal with this sort of thing immediately, they're not even thinking about it until after the funeral, and started to slightly get a bit of a grip on things again - but yes it's still pretty fresh, and it's not going to take much to push them over the edge, a handwritten note in the dead person's words will bloody well do it! Which is why I wouldn't personally do it, or be glad of it as a recipient in that moment.

But look, I'm not telling anyone what to do, obviously (I 'd hope), I just wanted to offer an alternative perspective to the top-level comment surprise that nobody had mentioned this yet as though it was something that obviously should absolutely be done.

And as I said in reply to other comment, maybe it wasn't clear, but I'm not saying such a note somewhere else is a bad idea necessarily, I just wouldn't lump it in with 'admin' stuff that they're trying to deal with, keeping emotions in check, personally.
Please do document all this and make sure you are following good HR practice. You need to say clearly and put it in writing that what is required in the job is not being done. You can offer help and support but the underlying relationship is that of an employer. Have action steps - both agree they will see a doctor or mental health professional and make sure they actually did that. If they don’t - document it and offer to help but make it clear they are not doing their part and that will impact their employment status. I know this can sound over the top but being supper clear that this is impacting employment is really important. It is very easy for a “friend” employee to miss this aspect and feel blindsided when separation from employment happens. It can lead to bitterness and possible lawsuits. It takes time and hard conversations to move through something like this but it is far less drama and distraction than a lawsuit.
It would mostly piss off the more techy folks. And maybe speed up development of the various open source browser projects out there. And help get them to sufficient level to be real viable alternatives.
I have been developing on ARM servers for a while. I use Raspberry Pis and Tinkerboards as dev and staging servers and push releases to an x86-64 server on digital ocean. With docker it has been pretty easy, docker-compose usually finds the right packages for the CPU and it works quite well. I am curious about maybe trying on of the ARM servers on Hertzner and see how it compares.
VAT especially at 21% seems like a very regressive tax, as are most sales taxes. Taxing the commoner rather than the wealthy is one way to ensure the supremacy of capital over labor though, protecting entrenched interests.
>People are using the snapshots to do backups of MySQL databases, he said, which is a test of the robustness of the feature

This is exciting because db workloads are btrfs's kryptonite. The only way to avoid crippling fragmentation on btrfs is to disable copy-on-write, which also disables checksumming hence nullifying one of btrfs's main selling points. ZFS seems to handle such loads much better, and it would be interesting to see how bcachefs deals with them.
> but if you look at Academia you will clearly see that the best and most productive researchers are the one that work nonstop.

And those researchers (at least those I know personally) get health issues due to the complete asinine work load. Including a well respected professor just getting straight up heart problems every time he would get onto his old campus.

We should seriously reconsider what we glorify in academia before it gets to late.

That doesn’t match my recollection. I’m not sure how to prove anything, but I’ll note that Python 3.0 was released in 2008. If Python 2 wasn’t already extremely popular and well-established at that point, I doubt we’d have seen the brutal 10+ish year migration from it.

This article, "Decentralization and Centralization in Sociocratic Organizations" has little to do with structureless organizations. It's quite the opposite, as it prescribes more organizational structure than is typically found in hierarchical firms. If anything, I'd call it hyper-structured, with explicit bidirectional communication channels.

> When someone arbitrages prices back to where they should be, they are performing a service that everyone else benefits from, and are rightly compensated for this. Now, are finance people compensated too much for correcting price discrepancies? If yes, then that’s another arbitrage opportunity!

While I agree that finance serves a useful purpose, I don't understand this bit. Suppose hypothetically that arbitrage gives some social utility, but not in proportion to the amount of money it makes for arbitrageurs, and thus not in proportion to the effort put into it. Suppose that society is overproducing finance -- that most people would be better off if the world had slightly worse pricing information, fewer financial datacenters and low-latency microwave links, less human effort devoted to banking, and more of something else that could be built with those resources and that effort.

Maybe this creates another arbitrage opportunity -- maybe in an idealized free market (where there are no barriers to entry) more people would work in finance, and their competition would reduce profits. But it seems to me that this would only worsen the overproduction problem.

Or is there something I'm missing here? Why isn't this really an "opportunity" to (carefully) increase taxes on finance, so that it won't be overproduced by as much?

For very few labor == leisure, for even fewer labor == leisure == life. If for someone labor != leisure, for whatever reason, then it's a category error [1] to follow this sort of advice.

A much better question should be: why are there so few for which labor == leisure? Why do we attend and attune ourselves to a system in which labor == leisure is such a scarce set and setting?

I assume this is sarcastic, so allow me to offer this point directly from recent experience.

I worked on a multi-million dollar transformation project for the federal government.

Nobody had any idea where anything was. Eventually they found the 'latest PowerPoint' in their email, instead of SharePoint.

Except it wasn't the latest. They just thought it was. So they updated it, and distributed it, and then looked stupid and had to do it again. And lost all respect and trust from the customer.

And then when the project failed the auditor came in to try to figure out why, and it was reasonably obvious.

Meanwhile the taxpayer is paying for this. That's me and you. If this mid-sized transformation project has a $10m budget and every person wastes just a minute every hour looking for a file -- conservative, in my experience -- then we're talking hundreds of thousands of wasted dollars.

So, yeah. Borderline criminal in my view.

To give a fair answer;

According to the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation the normal concentration of uranium in soil is 300 μg/kg to 11.7 mg/kg.

It is considered to be more plentiful than antimony, beryllium, cadmium, gold, mercury, silver, or tungsten and is about as abundant as tin, arsenic or molybdenum.[1]

Look around the landscape, if you can see granite then you will have high concentrations of both uranium and breakdown products of uranium such as radon gas in the environment already.

"Vast areas" is a good thing, it would mean the dense tips of weapons have been broken down and spread out across vast areas thus reducing the concentrations.

It's the high concentrations in small areas that you should worry about.

It should be noted the issue is the toxicity of uranium as an element that's the main cause for concern here .. "depleted uranium" is left over after processing to seperate out the radioactive isotopes for further use within the nuclear industry (weapons, power) and is less radioactive than 'regular' uranium occuring naturally in the environment.

Fortunately, if we have these energy, waste heat is not a problem. the amount of energy from the sun/go back to space/ keep by green house gas are far more than waste heat!
do not forget this energy supply chain can reduce greenhouse gas emission to zero, who needs burning oil? we also have enough energy to capture greenhouse gas from atmosphere:)

This criticism only applies to the economic rents being extracted aka charging too much and not giving the economic rents to the producer of the economic rent. If you build a product and charge based on the incremental value you provide, there is hardly reason for criticism.
Couple weeks ago had someone complain about system updates and other mildly IO heavy things making his system extremely slow and lock up for minutes at a time, despite having an NVMe SSD. Rebalancing fixed it - which iirc I also had to do regularly about ten years ago when I had the exact same problems with btrfs.

The main issue with sql is, that it is the wrong way around, which eliminates all tooling support.

You need to state what you want (select a, b, c) before you tell it from where to get it (from). And no tooling can predict that.

So switching this, moving from and joins in front of select, might be everything needed to fix sql.
Repeating a note by others, having advice on navigating a large transaction is comforting. Even though I ultimately found the house I bought myself the guidance of my buyer’s agent through the process was invaluable. No regrets on him making good money for his efforts. Also, surprisingly, it didn’t feel odd for him to help me negotiate a lower price while his pay is based on the sale price. His business is based on referrals to my next friend who needs such help.
There may not be a law explicitly stating you have to have homeowner's insurance. But.

Without such insurance, specifically the "injury liability type" with its limits; then if someone gets injured on your property there may be no limit to your liability.

So even people who could afford the loss buy insurance because it is the best method of limiting intangible risks.

It’s a great milestone to establish a complete & safe lifecycle for nuclear fuel.

From what I understood of current technology, recycling used nuclear fuel is too expensive and impractical today, so it makes economic sense to invest in long-term waste storage.

But I do wonder if in 30-50 years, the main way to deal with nuclear waste would be recycling. I saw an interesting interview of experts about this last month: https://youtu.be/IzQ3gFRj0Bc
