In outer space, you pass out in about 15 seconds from lack of O2 to the brain, then your heart stops and eventually you freeze. NASA has done the experiments:

> Chimpanzees can withstand even longer exposures. In a pair of papers from NASA in 1965 and 1967, researchers found that chimpanzees could survive up to 3.5 minutes in near-vacuum conditions with no apparent cognitive defects, as measured by complex tasks months later. One chimp that was exposed for three minutes, however, showed lasting behavioral changes. Another died shortly after exposure, likely due to cardiac arrest.

Then there was this oops:

> In 1965 a technician inside a vacuum chamber at Johnson Space Center in Houston accidentally depressurized his space suit by disrupting a hose. After 12 to 15 seconds he lost consciousness. He regained it at 27 seconds, after his suit was repressurized to about half that of sea level. The man reported that his last memory before blacking out was of the moisture on his tongue beginning to boil as well as a loss of taste sensation that lingered for four days following the accident, but he was otherwise unharmed.

Dying in a submarine would be very different. The pressure differential in space is a single atmosphere. Water increases by about one atmosphere every 33 feet. At Titanic's depth it's ~ 368 atmospheres of pressure. Reddit discussion from 3 years ago:

https://old.reddit.com/r/submarines/comments/gy1wc6/what_exa...

> The collapse of a submarine pressure hull happens quick, just 37 milliseconds in the case of the Scorpion. The incoming water had a velocity of about 2,000 mph. [...] Over such small time scales, there is no time for the water or the steel hull to absorb any heat from the rapidly compressing air inside of the submarine. Because no heat is transferred from the air to the water or hull, the compression is adiabatic. [...] The collapse halted when the air pressure was approximately equal to the water pressure at 1,530 feet, which is 4,630,000 Pa. [...] 1,122°F.

That was at 1,530 feet.

Contact was lost with the Titan at 1 hour and 45 minutes into its dive. A typical dive to the bottom took it 3 hours. So it was likely at least halfway to the bottom (6000 feet). Its implosion would have involved even more spectacular forces.

They were dead before they knew what happened, incinerated and pulverized. There are no bodies to recover.

I suggest you botanize a little in early and mid 20th century TV and radio broadcasts from around the world. You will find propaganda where the presenters are literally screaming like lunatics at the listener: Telling children to turn in their parents to the secret police, calling for war - and worse. That is what the majority of the population of the world had to listen to and watch. Mass media propaganda on the airwaves fueled the 20th century wars and worst crimes against humanity in history - with millions hypnotized under its spell.

You can not compare that to online conversations that you find inconvenient. And if you didn't believe in bidirectional communication you wouldn't participate here, so I think you do believe in it.
It's my understanding that in rescue missions where the targets don't pay with their lives, they end up paying monetarily afterwards.
Respect is also a useful tool. It reduces conflicts just as diplomacy reduces violence. Yes, respect can be set aside but, when you do, expect controversy.

Why would anyone want to invite unnecessary controversy when writing a spec?
>after I give them my phone number and figure out how to discover your niche community

never had to give them my phone number. Depends on the server, I suppose.

And as someone used to exploring niche communities: TBH, it's not as out of the way to google as I thought. say I want to find the godot discord group (if they have one)... yup first entry, can find a public Godot discord. Maybe not official, but I wouldn't google for an official discord so much as find community link on a website.

>God forbid I ask a question that’s been asked before. If only there was some way to archive and search what I was looking for in the first place.

TBH Reddit isn't exactly better off here, despite being searchable. People don't search so that's why you get subs asking the same questions every week.
Move to a country that is safe from external aggressors without help from the US while also not having these worries.

That leaves a total of .... 0 countries.
What's the alternative high quality laptop in that price-range though?

A Dell XPS that comes with a lose trackpad, massive coil whine, batteries that drain when plugged in and so on?

Or an LG Gram Pro (more expensive than Framework) that isn't sold outside of the US and maybe some Asian countries where the only thing you can upgrade is the SSD?

Or maybe some Apple laptop?

I personally feel the price of a Framework is fair, even if it is 2500 USD (or more). Not necessarily because Framework is great (I would prefer 17"), but more because the alternatives are worse or don't exist.
The root cause was just hubris.

Ironically.
> they aren't anymore "the military" in this context

There is a bit of a difference in that the US military seems to avoid taking much responsibility for what their contractors do. I was pushing back on the notion that just because a military contractor does it, the military has no responsibility for it.

> Also not sure how U.S. defense contractors are so different from any other country.

I only specified US because I'm in the US and that's what I'm most familiar with. I often get scolded by international readers when I leave that qualifier out, so I try to remember to include it.

I was not saying that any other nation is different. I was making no comment on any other nation.
Currently whenever I think of Clojure I remember this post

Exactly. There are many, many cases where AI significantly speeds up doing something.

I've already used it productively for writing code, understanding how to set up new tech, summarising documents and academic papers, and writing clearer text. And I'm not a power user at all.

So this will result in fewer existing jobs, and the productivity of the remaining jobs must increase. And some new jobs will be created along the way.
For real. Deepen your relationship with money so that it's more comfortable, nuanced, and stable. Like a relationship with an old friend. Even if you lose touch for a while, they're still there for you.

Otherwise there will still be a tendency to view money in "have it / don't have it" terms, or similar lines of thought that will require not only thinking about money all the time, but doing so in a way that takes far too much personal attention and energy.

A lot of people have the false belief that thinking about money too much is a sin, or an unwise mistake. But you can also look at this tendency as beginner-level money-ing. Education and deep experience / analysis of the topic really help.

IMO you can also still retain happiness in material things if you develop your relation to/with them, too. For example, understanding them as symbolic totems or touchstones, or pointers toward a higher quality of life in terms of any perspectives they may symbolically suggest independent of your own established perspectives. (Once you start to do this you'll start to eat away at merchants' profit margins since your concept of worth & value will deepen, and a sort of optimization skill will set in. :-))

Why should Red Hat provide its main product (stability, compatibility, support) for free? Why are enterprise users so entitled? Why should Red Hat care about them at all?
Yeah but don't worry too much about changing your habits, just continue to be selective and critical in your consumption. Remember that it's all about finding a balance between staying informed and maintaining your personal preferences, right?
I've been sorting by "new comments" -- which brings us squarely back to the "bump old threads" style phpbb forums. Which I suppose is okay.
At this point at least they seem to support RHEL, CentOS, SUSE, and Ubuntu. Or at least, they offer downloads for it – I'm having a hard time navigating their documentation to find a more precise answer.

But the people who are running Db2 probably has very little overlap with the people running CentOS, too.

I feel for them about as much as I do the ~100 people who died today in car accidents in the US. Most of whom were probably also doing reckless things. In a sane world we would do something about that, but people like Rush actively work against sanity in the name of profit, so here we are.
Very few industries are safe enough to actually capture the "That could have been bad" events, that's what ASRS https://asrs.arc.nasa.gov/ does for the Aviation industry (there are equivalent agencies in various other wealthy countries e.g. CHIRP in the UK)

In the absence of a proper means to report "That could have been bad" as you say it can cause normalization. But it's understandable that you don't implement something like ASRS when you haven't solved most of your "That was bad" problems. If you regularly have CI failures due to the code not even compiling, "We need more unit tests" isn't top of the list of your problems.
If you can live with the high taxes, then scandinavia is nice. The social safety net makes money less important. Free health care is the big one. Not having to worry at all about hospital bills(ever) is a great relief.

We don't know that. There's a chance a noise was recorded but it wasn't made public in order not to compromise rescue attempts.
As Dave Barry assured us, LASIK eye surgery is perfectly safe, as long as the doctor remembers to change the laser setting to "delicate" from "vaporize bulldozer".
I've never ever run it on a $10K computer. It's quick enough on a Surface Go 2 (albeit in Linux, not on Windows). It's quick enough on an eight year old 2.7ghz i5 MacBook Pro. And it's even not shockingly awful on an 8GB Raspberry Pi 4B.
Luckily, creating additional nanoseconds is cheap. The value was always in their symbolism, not in them being given out by admiral Hopper herself.

It's not so much stupidity as knowingly embarking on a dangerous adventure for the purpose of fun, basically.

Someone who took the trip before said they had to sign a waver which mentioned death multiple times. It's like climbing Everest, walking to the north pole, commercial space flights, base jumping etc.

The med disaster was people embarking on a dangerous "adventure" out of what they perceived as being a necessity.

Of course all lives should be regarded as being equal.
In US, I feel like I am always in phase 1. While I am very well in the top 5% in terms of wealth, I also feel I am only one serious illness away from bankruptcy and that is stressing me out. If comfortable retirement (living a middle class life) is only available to people with a multi-million dollar retirement fund, I see no purpose in even aiming for a retirement in US.
I think the migrant boat disaster is horrible. But I was more interested in this missing sub because it was a bit mysterious what happened to it initially. Then it all comes out how badly built it is, how it's a death trap, etc. It's just more interesting personally. It doesn't mean it's worse than the migrant boat, it's just more interesting and I'd rather read about it.

Mysterious cases always get more traction on social media too. There was an instance in the UK where a woman went missing near a river. People were speculating for weeks about what had happened. They would travel to the location and try and be detectives. It's was insane. People said it was because she was a white woman, but I don't think it's that. It's just the mystery of not knowing what happened and a body not being found straight away after divers searched the area. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Nicola_Bulley

Same goes for the sub. It's not because it was full of billionaires. It was because it was from a company infamous for cutting corners and people wanting confirmation that it did in fact implode. It also just boggles the mind why people who are so wealthy would get in something so shoddily put together. They have the money to fund a whole expedition like James Cameron did, but they'd rather increase the risk of death by an order of magnitude.
Fixing the missing links in the billing chain is what we have been working on at Wingback (https://wingback.com). Agree that the actual metering part is not that hard to get (and having a standard here would be great!), but using it to correctly enforce entitlements in your product and accurately bill your customers who might be on all kind of different plans, models prices and discounts over a large number of metered (and umetered) features is.
Indeed - it turns out the singularity was in fact self-referential and the whole thing evaporated in a cloud of weights and biases.
> A related theory: being good at math, especially mental math, correlates with aphantasia (not being able to see pictures in your head)

This is the kind of condition I wonder if I have. Because on one hand, if I do a visualization exercise I would describe it as foggy at best. Then again, I struggle to understand how our brains could be wired that differently from person to person, that we could have or lack certain mental senses. I would suggest that everyone has some latent capability, whether they recognize it or not. After all the visual cortex is quite important.

In the context of your example, those good at mental math might see a chalkboard like image of the problem with all the detail. Those who struggle might be distracted visualizing the items that are being counted themselves, and all their detail.

For another riddle, consider the question of whether one recognizes their thoughts as an internal monologue or not, and how that relates to communication and action.
>This neatly summarizes why anybody should care.

if people value it, they would move to a site that cares about it. But it seems people value community the most, and the only options with large community is Discord, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, or Tiktok (maybe a half dozen others, but not many more than what I listed).

You pick your poison. Discord is definitely the best of those alternatives in my eyes. FB/Instagram/Tiktok aren't meant at all for text, and Twitter has never been for long form discussion.
Just because someone is a catalyst, I don't see how it logically and necessarily follows that 100% of the causal responsibility falls on them.

This seems objectively reductive and represents ideological beliefs as objective facts.

Maybe the masses are upset and this is a sign of things to come, that should be listened to.
He is now asking. Are you saying it's too late?
I would love to see the internationalization work done for that! Even better, an i18n package for identifying gestures! I’ll flip off Apple Mail, but please let me give Chrome an “up yours”.
Yeah, I've been urging patience to a few folks who seem frustrated by the change. IIRC its not a big team working on lemmy, and then you have many different teams deploying their instances, adding custom features, etc.

It's certainly improved a lot over time, but the reddit exodus wasn't really planned. I'm sure the lemmy devs are feeling the pressure.
It appears to me that for all the rushing about (which was appropriate and neccessary if there were any surviors or surface debris to be found at all) the somewhat grim reality is:

1) hydrophones heard it implode at the same time it lost contact

2) it took until early 6/22 to get a deep-diving ROV on site

3) once the ROV got to the bottom, it swiftly found the debris from the implosion as expected
Only if you count bad evangelists as "misinformation agents". There are unfortunately plenty of bad actors who have persistently tried to use it as a social cudgel and an excuse to fight for social dominance, shield oneself from being questioned (including self-reflection), and to write others off. To be frank, it is no wonder people view it as an attack when that is exactly what it has been used for.

For a similar patterns of bad behavior by the same actors look at the utterly terrible framing and naming of white priveledge, where not having problems nobody should have to deal with is phrased as if not being discriminated against is a moral problem!

Their website extensively mentions the acoustic monitoring system, with the thinking that any stress fractures would be detected prior to failure.

It probably did, but unfortunately, I think the window of time was not enough the return to the surface (perhaps milliseconds, but who knows)
How exactly would Red Hat pursue such strategy and compete with Canonical? Consider the fact that Red Hat leaves the copyright to the contributor in Red Hat's projects, while Canonical requires contributors to sign CLA to get patches included in Canonical's projects. Given this arrangement, Canonical both benefits from the contributions and also has extra rights over the code that everyone else doesn't have that gives them a competitive advantage.
Every single laptop with a dGPU will benefit from this. Not to mention zink being arguably better than native opengl drivers, simplification of maintenance, etc.

"Many people believe that the spirit of the GNU Project is that you should not charge money for distributing copies of software, or that you should charge as little as possible—just enough to cover the cost. This is a misunderstanding.

Actually, we encourage people who redistribute free software to charge as much as they wish or can. If a license does not permit users to make copies and sell them, it is a nonfree license. If this seems surprising to you, please read on."

If it's not 100% compatible then how compatible is it?

If 100% compatibility is the requirement then the only option has always been RHEL built, packaged, and distributed by Red Hat. Not some 3rd party's infrastructure.
Are there newer versions of Roboto Mono that support all these Unicode codepoints? [EDIT: No, I checked and there are not[0].] The one I have does not support ∃, ∈, and ∷, and probably others.

Honestly, there are a ton of people like you out there. A big selling point for Red Hat has always been their contributions to the community and that funding them would help to drive that.

It is a big motivator for people transitioning from your state to becoming a customer.
Does Matrix have the equivalent of voice chat rooms that Discord has? I find as a user of Discord that being able to see who's just hanging out is the killer feature there. (As are things like game streaming and bots, ofc)
I still love and much prefer physical buttons, but they can and do fail with age and use when they're made cheaply. I've got NES controllers that took decades of button mashing and abuse yet still function, but I've thrown out cell phones, mice/keyboards, and modern controllers that didn't last 2 or 3 years.
> In the end less people would be using their kind of Enterprise Linux, which in turn will result in less conversion to the paid version of it.

Why would anyone want to convert to the paid version if their use case is covered by the free version? Out of generosity?
Agreed, people chose once again to centralize instead of diversfy, and as history has shown time and time again: we're paying for it right now.

At this point I blame no one but the users. Clearly the layman just wants a quick place to chat, so I understand why Discord is popular. The masses don't care about searching up info years later.

I find the initial paragraphs of analysis rather insistent, one might say dogmatic, in their praise of non-dogmatism. Some later paragraphs express my immediate response: perhaps this dogmatism varies based on your relationship to your current information environment.

I'll suggest that consideration of these numbers might be better supported by tables to show participant and average numbers, and invite comparisons.
As it stands I really like Fedora and I'm inclined to continue to give it a shot. I hope I don't have to eat my words on that. I believe that the Fedora Project is somewhat independent of RedHat, although they have a sponsorship arrangement.
I have already seen a ton of vendors that once only has RHEL certifications for their software switch to having RHEL and Debian or Ubuntu Certifications for deployment

Clearly the enterprise market is moving, as once in the US every vendor would mainly only support RHEL, now I am seeing most support both RHEL and Debian\Ubuntu
