> We are RE-learning.

Fair point. I got accused of the “noble savage” myth recently in another post and I went the wrong way with it. In trying to be better stewards of the natural world we are looking at vestige civilizations that never lost it, but the fact of the matter is that if you watch history shows, one I’m thinking of was a recreation of feudal life in Tudor England, Western Europeans used to “know” many, many of these things too, but they forgot it all in the Industrial Revolution, then encountered civilizations that hadn’t forgotten, and ground them to dust, instead of remembering.

After hundreds of years of trying to solve problems with the same level of thinking that created them, there’s always a set of people who are asking questions about the trip we are on. There’s a fine line between pastoralism and compromise that we haven’t worked it out yet, and we don’t even always see it when it happens.

There’s a circumstantial chain of evidence out there that David Hume injected Eastern Philosophy into The Enlightenment. If that’s even a little true, this big philosophical Step Forward was really a step “back”, or maybe sideways.

And I think we still don’t know where the Stoics got their ideas from. Themselves, or Buddhism?
Thing is, men are men—can’t help it, really—regardless of what behaviors they display. Being toxic isn’t “being men” because plenty of men aren’t toxic.

I get regular bloodwork as my insurance gives it at zero cost, so I just refresh an old medical order that I keep adding things to after chatting with my doc on what's relevant to measure. After trying several things, some of them without much effect or probably unsafe, I've settled for these:

+ Vitamin D3 5000 IU/d, measurements now give me 50 ng/mL, an improvement from my baseline which is lower than the minimum (historically 15, suggested lowest range in lab is 20)
Megadoses of 100.000 or 50.000 for a few days, as given by doctors previously, just spiked this with a subsequent fall that wouldn't recover no matter how much sun exposure I got, or lower dosages, maybe with the exception of 2000 IU/d which keeps it a bit lower than 50 yet acceptable

+ A combination multivitamin with C-500mg, B-complex & zinc 15mg

+ High quality Omega 3s, more EPA than DHA, a few months a year. It improves LDL/HDL profiles.

A few promising ones that I may rotate in a given a year:

+ A combination magnesium/zinc combination pill, taken at night

+ Melatonin, a few weeks if I'm starting to stay up late

+ Glucosamine-chondroitin, seems promising long term to prevent joint issues

+ NAC

+ Creatine in capsules, less hassle than the powder

+ Probiotics

+ Stimulant pills with different caffeine forms (guarana, anhydrous...) and all the pixie dust energy drinks have, just to save money on those or when I get bored of coffee.
In my experience there's no need to worry about long term disk usage of Time Machine. The backup is going to get in a bad state and start failing to add new backups, requiring you to wipe it and start over before the drive fills up.

Worst Practices in Software Dev: David Fowler has trouble with code templates [video]
I am bit surprised by the diversity of discussion. There seems to be so many strong opinions on both sides of the same argument that has raged for centuries.

Immaterialist:

There seems to be as many people that believe in a soul very strongly, to the point where they can't fathom the questions. The questions almost have no meaning in a worldview with souls. Or extreme, the belief in soul has changed their mind to extent they can't see the point of these questions, can't get the point of the questions. (belief in soul in context of the questions in post means dead in a lot of cases)

Materialists:

There are just as many people that so strongly believe there is NO soul, scientific minded, that the third question that contains the word soul invalidates the entire questionnaire. Materialist think that modern science and technology has rendered the question pointless, that all the answers are already known. This is also false, there might not be an immaterial soul, but the nature of self and its continuity is still open question, and a lot of people equate that with soul, for better or worse.

Soul is just all around bad word to describe what we are getting at with consciousness, or sentience. It is too loaded with baggage.

Thus, it is a successful questionnaire, it makes both sides think a bit more.

I am not excusing homicides, but can you imagine that perhaps being emotionally illiterate and constantly put down might cause someone to be more likely to become violent?

When they cannot defend themselves in all of the social discussion, bargaining, and gossip that is used for control of their lives, the feeling of helplessness can become overwhelming.

And if a confrontation becomes violent, probabilistically the bigger, stronger one will most likely win. In a male-female dynamic where death is the outcome, the origin of the conflict is rarely considered.

In many countries girls and women still need education for reading and written communication. I think in every country boys and men should receive education for emotional self-understanding and communication.

What is OCEAN? Links please
While the phenomenon you describe is certainly real, I think that you may also have been misperceiving part of it: Having a deep belief/understanding that your self is your whole body does not require having a highly-trained body or a strong kinesthetic sense. There could have been many people at that conference who shared your belief, but had not taken the years of physical training to make that externally apparent.
I suppose that you could argue that packet switching won out over circuit switching. I mean, except for the gigantic installed base of landline telephones (analog and ISDN) and the digital switches that support them on copper pairs, still extant and supported, VoIP is incrementally replacing those lines as the decades progress. (How many decades has it been now?)

But you're comparing apples and oranges. What was the size of the established, installed base of network hosts using circuit-switched networks when packet switching started to compete? Did SRI International and other DARPA research institutions run IMPs that utilized circuit-switching to route network traffic? No, they started with packet switching. So essentially, as the Internet caught on, its style of packet switching "won" over landline telephones because it was a question of capability and supported features.

IPv4 and IPv6 are the same protocol, essentially; you swap one out under the hood, and the upper and lower OSI layers don't even notice that anything's changed. Packet switching and circuit switching are two distinct techniques that are opposed to one another: if you wanted to swap one for the other, you'd be rebuilding your network from the ground up.

So, apples and oranges: IPv6 is, by design, a replacement for IPv4, and djb is discussing the seemingly intractable issues faced by those who attempt to cleanly migrate.
> If you need complex data structures use YAML

YAML is a poorly engineered format. It doesn't think about storage at all, for example (i.e. in its definition, it's just a single text blob. What if you need to split it?

The format is awful for random access: you need to read the whole thing to extract a single data item. If you need to query such a configuration multiple times you'll do a lot of unnecessary work.

YAML poorly defines numerical types (how many digits can a float have? what about integers? Are floats and integers the same thing?) YAML lists... allow mixed types. Not sure it's such a good thing from performance and correctness perspective.

YAML has unnecessary "hash-table" type. Hash-tables aren't a data format, they require function in the reader that makes asymptotic properties of hash-tables work. In fact, YAML has just a weird sub-type of list, where elements come in pairs. Since it inherited all this from JSON, there's also the ambiguity related to repeated keys in such hash-tables -- what should an application do with those nobody knows.

YAML sucks for transmission due to the ambiguity caused by repeated keys in "hash-tables". You cannot stream such a format if you have the policy that the last key wins or if you have the policy that repetition is not allowed. Also, since YAML allows references but doesn't require that the reference lexically point to a previously defined element, you may have unresolved references which, again, will prevent you from streaming.

YAML defines mappings to "native" elements of different other languages... but what should you do if you are parsing it in Ruby, but get a mapping to Python?

YAML schema sucks. It would require a separate "expose" to describe why.

YAML comes with no concept of users or namespaces which would be necessary for ownership / secure sharing of information. It also comes without triggers which would allow an application to respond to changes in data.

YAML is very hard to parse for no reason. It's very easy to make a typo in YAML that will not make it invalid, but will be interpreted contrary to what was intended.

YAML doesn't have a canoncial form which makes comparing two elements a non-trivial and in some cases undefined task.

YAML doesn't have variables, nor does it have forall / exists functionality. This results in a lot of tools that work with YAML overlaying it with yet another layer of configuration, which includes variables (eg. Helm charts, Ansible playbooks).

----

I mean, honestly, people who created YAML probably saw it as an inconsequential, sketchy project that should take maybe a weekend or two. They didn't plan for this format to be the best... they just made something... that sort of did something... but not really. I have no idea why something like this received the acclaim that it did.

> That’s a statistical association not a concept. Try asking it questions that mix concepts like “Can you eat Apple share price?” which aren’t in its corpus.

ChatGPT:
> No, you cannot physically eat an Apple share or any other stock share. A share of a company's stock represents ownership in that company and is typically bought and sold on stock exchanges. Share prices fluctuate based on various factors such as supply and demand, company performance, market conditions, and investor sentiment. While you can buy and sell shares of Apple on the stock market, you cannot consume or physically eat them.

That seems perfectly reasonable to me. The answer correctly identifies the problem with the question.

Most of the traffic in mobile operator networks I'm aware of is IPv6 to IPv6, for very obvious reason - people watching youtube, facebook et al, and they are IPv6 enabled for over 10+ years. Of course one need to provide IPv4 reach-ability as well, details are varies from network to network, 464XLAT is being a popular one.

Exactly this! I keep seeing this nonsense that a $70/99 store replacement battery is a great cheap deal.

Yeap, only compared to a brand new phone. When you have a cheap iPhone from 5 years ago and you compare the price of a battery replacement to the actual price of your phone it quickly become obnoxiously expensive.

CCC costs $77.50 AUD per major version just to use the app - it might be OK but that's a lot of money!

TimeMachine is free and "good enough" for local / local network backups for most people, for remote backup BorgBase (although the "Vorta" borg GUI app is dreadful) and Backblaze are affordable-ish options.

Also it doesn't look like CCC has write-only backups (immutable from the client side once created) like Borg has, there's no mention of encryption or deduplication in their feature list either - https://bombich.com/features
tbh its not just ignoring their emotional needs, painting this as an emotional needs problems just characterizes them as women and basically claims that men need to be treated like women, which is not true. its ignoring their developmental needs

you need some kind of expertise to feel like you can make even the most basic of professions out of

you need responsibility

you need role models that you can choose and can talk with, and practice having complex and sophisticated conversations with

you need a meritocratic environment

you need physical development, and to embed the need for building physical and mental habits that guide you through your life in a sane and stable way

you need an environment that encourages kindness, hard work, and neither babies nor feminizes you. you need to, specifically, avoid idiotic environments that promote violence as part of the social hierarchy of peers.
> either companies that have their main products as open-source, or companies that make significant contributions

These two categories seem pretty distinct, and the second is pretty nebulous. What does "significant" mean here, and how well does that translate to the odds of me working on an open source project? It's unclear why Netflix and Cloudflare are included but, say, Facebook and Microsoft aren't.

If you're going to include both, it would be nice if there were a way to distinguish and filter between these two categories. I really like the idea of being able to see all the open source jobs out there, but having Netflix at the top of the list makes me unsure how many of these companies are truly open-source-first.
Overall, a very good, useful and simple project.
> and why don’t I just get with the program, and isn’t it obvious there’s good guys and there’s bad guys and isn’t it obvious who is who.

And this is the cynical post-modernist post-truth part that I criticise about your position. It's just a doubt of everything, of what's even real, and so you are just playing your part of the propaganda that made you think that way. The issue in post-truth is that your take is just another parroted version of "what's even real?". Even on this case, where it's pretty clear who are the bad guys, you prefer to be cynical and not even believe what your eyes can see.

You've been bombarded by subtle or overt propaganda your whole life, by governments and corporations. It's not by being cynical that you are somehow better than others or not being influenced by it, you aren't immune to it by believing nothing. Or by being a contrarian.
It was just in general. Blizzard has a lot of problems in general. So this was just one more straw on the camel. I wasn't trying to compare DDoS statistics between the companies. We can point to all of the big companies and they have had outages, so don't think on a whole MS is worse. But a couple weeks ago my MS Outlook was not down, so I didn't see that effect. With all of these metrics, they can be localized, so hard to track.
(I somehow misread the title as "I've worked on"--implying a kind of ownership--not "I've worked for", and apologize for the mistake.)

Could this not be construed as vexatious litigation?
I don't what they mean by "emotional support", but to me it boils down to asking "how are you doing?", but meaning it.
It is fine to read. I like the panache.
How is this conspiracy, I am curious. I can literally see it happening.
I don't think privacy is such a simple scale like this. I actually trust my macbook to be more secure than my Linux desktop. Apple has spent orders of magnitude more securing this device, while my Linux desktop setup is mostly only ensured to be generally working.

If anyone with the smallest amount of skill had physical access to my desktop, they could replace the bootloader with a malicious one and get everything when I next log in. While my macbook is secured against basically everyone but top tier federal agents. If I left my macbook in a hotel room, I can reasonably expect it has not been tampered with.

There doesn't seem to be any real version of SIP on Linux. Basically every program I run requires full access to everything. Flatpak is sort of tightening things up but it still has a long way to go to close all the loose ends.

So while I might have more control over my linux machine, I still trust my macbook more.
>Profits collected, responsibility socialized.

This happens literally any time someone makes a mistake somewhere that doesn’t get caught. It’s not some magic “gotcha” that only applies to these types of industries and anecdotes are not evidence that an industry depends on it.

Here are other examples of people “privatizing the profits while socializing the losses”:

- a bad teacher who doesn’t lose their job for teaching children incorrect things.

- a cook that doesn’t get fired when you get food poisoning.

- a doctor that makes a negligent mistake and causes a permanent injury or death without getting caught.

The examples are endless and scale from individuals up through corporations and governments across every industry and mode of governance.

I recommend you don’t use the phrase if you don’t want to look dumb because it’s a pretty strong indicator of a lack of critical thinking skills.
Indeed. Some companies limit to countries, some to timezones (+/- a few hours), some to regions like you mentioned, and others might have a language requirement. I've been trying to figure out how to surface that properly without making it too complicating for either the poster or the viewer, and I'm honestly not sure yet.
AFAICT there is nothing good in Tate's message, except perhaps that one doesn't have to be ashamed of strength.

Yet Tate seems to promote strength, power, and confidence as silver bullets for all ones problems -- mixed with a lot of get-rich-quick BS that boils down to "pay me to teach you to selling teaching to others". And this from a guy who got rich pressuring women into camming and taking a huge cut.

Boys and men need nuanced male role models (even modestly flawed), not one dimensional grifters.
I don't see it that way. You've fallen for a tu quoque fallacy. To say that Cosby was hypocritical doesn't seem to devalue the merits of his message: that men need to step up, that fathers need to stop being absent, take some responsibility for the dignity of women and children.

If anything, it makes it even more poignant. Haven't you ever seen a man in prison, pleading with his son not to turn out like him? Does the father's murder conviction undermine his admonition against violence?
We already have the ~/.local (standard? convention?) which simply mimics the filesystem root with bin,etc,include etc.

Use whatever your chosen platform supports "natively". If you're on Linux like me, then use GNU Make or even a Bash script. I'm sure Windows users have something different.

Here's the important part: move to a more powerful tool after you decide to support other platforms --- and before circumstances force your hand.
Nope, just saying it's not something I need in the alternative. Doesn't need to be a full stack/backend framework - just focus on frontend and SSR.

I'm not really sure how you got that from the article, practically the entire piece is citations of how boys are different from girls, just not in the way that we think they are culturally.
For all the coverage of DDoS attacks it always raises the question of "why"?

Is blizzards reputation bad enough that people are willing to pay just to harm them? Is someone protesting a ban? Is it an attempt at ransom? Etc etc. These are questions i don't know the answer to.
FTA: “The manning-up of boys begins in the cradle,” says Tronick. Fathers and mothers use far more emotionally rich language with toddler-aged daughters than sons, for instance. Fathers are also more likely to sing to and soothe their toddler daughters at night when they cry.

And "Praise them when they ask for help. Encourage them to share their struggles — with you, of course, but also with other trusted adults, a therapist or even friends."

And the article is full of links like this: https://www.irp.wisc.edu/resource/involved-fathers-play-an-i...

which suggests:

- Positive engagement: Involved fathers directly interact with their children in positive ways, including caregiving such as changing diapers and shared activities that involve play.

- Accessibility: Involved fathers are available to their children even when not directly interacting, such as cooking while the child plays nearby.

- Responsibility: Involved fathers take ultimate responsibility for their child’s welfare and care, including participating in decision-making regarding child-rearing and ensuring that children’s needs are met.
