People are accustomed to the coping mechanisms: aggressive battery replacement (on a schedule / at the first sign of struggle) or letting the battery deteriorate until the car fails to start and then asking for a jump / calling a tow truck. People see these inconveniences as inevitable, not as the result of a missing feature that really ought to be standard. Manufacturers don't feel pressured to do better so they don't do better.

higher prices for credit cards is not new. Lying about it is kinda weird, like we all forgot that business pay 2-3% in fees for accepting cards. A lot of small businesses are getting raked by the larger corporations chasing that all time profit.
Your point about the doomsday AI cultists is nonsense.

The doomsday AI cultists didn't come up with any of these ideas. The Matrix was a hugely popular movie in 1999.

chatGPT doesn't make the person who has believed since 1999 that AI is going to turn us all into Duracell batteries more correct. It is the same basic thought with with paper clips replacing batteries.
I think your second comment is the explanation for your first. There are certainly cheaper boards available, but the form factor of the Uno allows for use with a whole host of hats and shields, and releasing an updated board with more powerful hardware allows for more complex projects using those hats and shields.

I'm not sure I would describe either of those phrases as being particularly wise. The first is a basic observation that might lead you to noticing things like 7 degrees of separation, the other is advice that helps some people and not others. When I really think wisdom, I think of a lesson that gets burned into the mind, of not repeating a mistake.
>So tell me again why I would ever use a browser created by an adTech company?

So tell me again why I would ever use a browser that lacks functional vertical tabs? Yes, some chrome-based browsers have vertical tabs (brave, others?), but no browser can compare to the functionality of Firefox with Sidebery. Too bad Mozilla doesn't care about Firefox enough to bake it in and trying to turn off the damn horizontal tabs is such a convoluted process.

I'll also note that Safari's implementation of vertical tabs is hilariously bad.

And to those of you who still use horizontal tabs - if you keep more than a handful of tabs open at once, you need to graduate to the clearly superior UX of vertical tabs.

I haven't read any of them, nor done a google scholar search to see how many were cited, but it sure looks impressive to me.

100% agree that experience matters and can teach you when to ignore rules of thumb such as "prefer buying to building." But I've seen experienced developers succumb to the siren call of building their own, say, database pool, when they should not have.
Down there it certainly seems to be the case. That said, it's critically important still; it's so remote and shielded, if the earth would be glassed or hit by a meteor, I'm confident life would persist in deep sea pockets and ecosystems. It may be low population, and their lifespans may be long and slow, but they'll survive.
Google has an equally annoying crusade against anything that isn't Chrome. Visit google.com with Edge (on desktop) and you immediately get a popup on the top right "Google recommends using Chrome. Built for Windows. Easily search on Google with the fast, secure browser". As if there was any material difference between the browsers.

Yes, if you assume the people who designed this API were idiots, and everyone who reviewed the proposals were idiots, that could be possible outcome. (Not a likely outcome, mind you, because it'd be an incredibly low-value and low-yield attack). But why just assume that, rather than read the actual proposal?

In reality, the topics come from a predefined taxonomy[0] that certainly won't include topics like "bondage", nor (by policy) other kinds of sensitive PII. Additionally the system inserts noise into the system (5% of the time the topic will be a random choice rather than one of your actual inferred topics of interest), so that you can't actually infer the user's real interests from a single ad click like that.

In my experience the vast majority of people have very few root values that they won’t betray for a little more pleasure or power.

People very quickly adopt a “if you can’t beat them join them” attitude when facing resistance or throw their hands up and say “I’m just trying to live” or “that’s not my problem” when encountering a moral dilemma.

So no wonder that when faced with a moral dilemma most people put themselves in the position to say “I can see myself doing that and wouldn’t want to feel judged for it, so I’ll defend the practice because maybe I’ll need to do that later.”

I’m trying to figure out how to build the structure of society to promote the opposite of that - to make it trivially easy to say no to unethical behavior instead of just going along with the crowd. I’m coming up short with how to do that.
I'm a frequent in a couple places, always leave a great tip. In return I get a little extra care back, like a table hold for me without prior reservation because the staff knows when I usually come in. So I'm not against tipping per se, even though I get how this should be baked into the price ideally. But all in all, I'm a happy customer who returns every single day, and they are happy to have me - great deal for everyone.

However, I would not tip on principle should I knew the staff would be bragging on TikTok on how they "punish" folks who don't tip in advance, before even getting serviced. This is stupid, lose-lose, and childish behavior; and I actually hope it's not something that happens en masse. I haven't been back to the US over the past ~5 years but it couldn't have changed that much. Or could it?
We tried Thunderbird, but it was just not user-friendly enough to be suitable. The tabbed interface and strange pop-up windows were confusing in an e-mail client. But I'm sure it is a great client on Windows for more computer-literate people.

tl;dr: The English language, and thus its culture, derives from languages where the word "ship" is female, so it's natural to refer to one as such.

All languages in some form derive from one other, but is there an ancient/root language that doesn't have gendered nouns? English seems to me to be an exception, especially in the context of Latin and European languages.

Maybe the question exists in the first place because English is such an anomaly.
Lots of little girls and boys are taught that and end up somewhere screaming "but that's not fair!" in the rain.
What's normal isn't all that matters though, and the broad consequences of the behavior of the capitalist class are starting to creep quite deeply into what's normal for a lot of middle and lower class people.

Personally, I would like that to be countered much more like how they do things in China. Making an example of some bad apples can be very persuasive.
Although it may sound strange referring to an inanimate object as 'she', this tradition relates to the idea of a female figure such as a mother or goddess guiding and protecting a ship and crew.

It looks like they were testing this at at least 50C, which IMHO is far too hot for RAM to be.

I wonder what the industry response to this will be. RowHammer was memorable because they managed to convince one widely-used memory testing tool to not run the tests by default because too many systems would fail.

Regardless of access pattern, if you can get memory to not read back exactly what was written to that address, the hardware is just plain broken.

I don’t see how adding an additional data point that the browser leaks (topics) is an improvement no matter how privacy conscious that is designed. Something else would need to be removed for that to be a win and realistically fingerprinting is going nowhere.

So we’re moving from fingerprinting to fingerprinting plus more data.

I actually switch to Tiny11 after a little over 2 decades of only Linux… mostly due to performance issues on newer hardware. Windows does substantially better on graphics and Wi-Fi on my desktop, so there it goes.
I've attended a local CNCF meetup where the chainguard folks presented Wolfi and their related tools to create container images and SBOMs.

I was already skeptical of the product, having heard of it before. Unfortunately, attending that talk confirmed to me that they've just re-invented a severely limited version of Nix powered by yaml files that can output SBOMs in a standard format.

Their software repository only has around 500 packages vs the 80k+ in nixpkgs. When I read "Alpine Linux", I was immediately reminded of its use of the musl libc which has endless DNS resolution issues[1][2] in and outside of Kubernetes, however, thankfully, it seems like they realized bundling musl was a bad idea and ship glibc instead.

I'll stick to Nix and nixpkgs to build my reproducible container images with full dependency graphs back to the source code.

Absolutely a conference room decision to try to push more people to their browser. Apple see their OSes as a way to sell hardware. Microsoft very clearly sees their OS as a way to sell ads. I was hopeful for a sec as aspects of Windows got better and better, but the amount of junk that's appeared lately really feels user hostile. I don't want to "stay up to date with news and interests" in the dang start menu. No one ever has.

Thanks for your response. It’s an interesting perspective. From my point of view the idea of having incompatible boot protocols is a feature, not a bug. Fundamental differences must exist at some point in the hierarchy. Why not the boot mechanism?

Some refurbished parts come with a short warranty as well which can help cut risk if the rebuild was done poorly. They come in crates from a factory so the people who did the work specialized and have probably seen all the potential problems.
I don’t really understand the argument that corporate profits are driving inflation. If demand for a product goes up, we would naturally expect prices to rise since there is more competition for a fixed set of goods. Since the cost of producing the product has not increased, corporate profits necessarily rise. In the long term, we would expect competition to drive prices back to marginal cost as production of that product increases, but this process can takes time.

In this case, how do you separate inflation due to increased demand from inflation due to corporate profits? The two seem inextricably tied to me.

You don't need Windows for gaming any more. Ubuntu 22.04 comes with graphics drivers. Steam has Steam Play and Lutris has a huge library of install scripts, so everything is handled for you.

The one thing you will need to do occasionally is experiment with different Wine distributions. This means you will need to right click on your game and select the distribution from a drop-down box. Exhausting, I know.
But why would there be elevated pressure? Headphones can't pump air into your ear, they can only make it wiggle back and forth. ANC headphones use the same speaker that normally plays your music and just mix the noise-cancelling sound into your music, nothing else. When you aren't playing any music, outside noise makes the air wiggle back and forth and the membrane of the speaker makes the air wiggle back and forth in the opposite phase. These movements destructively interfere, resulting in the air staying still.

BTW where in the video do they mention elevated pressure?

The protein methylation network in yeast: A landmark in completeness
It's weird to me that people even seek to have opinions in the first place. That always seemed like the wrong way to view the world from the perspective of an observer with incomplete data.

I mean take a topic like global warming... It might be true or false in reality, but from our perspectives as subjective observers with incomplete data we can only ever say things about global warming with degrees of confidence. Therefore I tend to think of myself as an ~80% believer in global warming and a ~20% disbeliever – evidence seems to strongly weight on the side of global warming being a real phenomena, but it's certainly not inconceivable to me that our data may be incomplete.

Obviously where binary decisions need to be made I will act as if I believe global warming is real, but the point is I genuinely don't know and to say I believe in global warming as if it's rational to have a binary opinion on such things would be utterly absurd.

Another upside of thinking like this is that I genuinely don't seek to have opinions on anything. I like to think of my "opinions" more as superpositions of opinions which only manifest as binaries temporarily in situations where I need to act on my beliefs as if they're binaries.

I also like to remind myself that my own beliefs are simply the net of all opinions held by others with my own weightings – like a softmax output or something. Therefore I hold all political positions and all ideologies to some degree. For example, I consider myself as being both someone who supports Brexit and someone who doesn't and I think this makes me more open and understanding when it comes to controversial opinions. At least I seem to find it very easy to incorporate new positions or data without the typical mental blockers because something is labeled a "x" or "y" talking point. If someone makes a good point which I hadn't considered before I'll just be like, "oh that's interesting" and then it's part of my beliefs automatically. That wouldn't necessarily mean that the ideology that motivated that point would manifest when I'm forced to make binary decisions, and in this way I can easily view the majority of Brexit talking points as truthy without actually voting Brexit.

On the negatives people have said I'm schizophrenic with my beliefs because I'm fine with manifesting different binary opinions from week to week. But I think I'd argue it's probably more rational to do that when operating with a low level of certainty. I mean what's the alternative? Having a binary opinion the pros and cons of something as nuanced as freedom vs security? That would be equally absurd. If you force me to take to have a binary opinion it will be inconsistent.

> it will always be better, more performant, easier to use, bugfree, etc. compared to a quick home-rolled version.

You're leaving out crucial time factors:

* which is quicker to market

* which has the lower maintenance burden

Buying, in my experience, wins on those axes.

It does, though, depend on the size of the problem, which is a good callout. You rolled your own logger for a known format. You didn't roll your own RDBMS.

Also, you experimented with other solutions to determine if they were feasible. That's exactly the kind of experimentation we should all do--survey the problem space before jumping into building something.

I daresay you prove the tweet's point. For your problem, your solution was way better than the other options.
I'm confused.

I tried `unshare --uts --pid --net --mount --ipc --fork` but it failed due to permissions. `sudo unshare --uts --pid --net --mount --ipc --fork` left me in an environment where I was still in my home directory, able to see all the files and create new files which would persist after exiting.

I guess there are many other tutorials which would explain this in depth, but this blog post did not really teach me anything useful about `unshare`.
