I think the author has stricter interpretation of the morse code tappings shown in movie which largely is just tappings. In actual fact there are a large variety of customized Morse code for wall/pipe tappings. One such is using loud tap for a dash and soft one for a dot. Same goes with another variant where a tap for a dot and a quick double tap for dash. The problem with all these is the tappers need to be very well train to produce a consistent tapping rythmn which is very difficult if you're not doing it daily let alone those shown in the movie doing it for the first time or after years of not doing it. Then on listener side need to have very sharp ear with probably perfect pitch and rythmn sense which we assume had some kind of strong musical background also equally well trained in Morse code tappings on pipe/wall and in those Morse code variant being used. In short, this will turn into "perfect shot" kind of youtube series...extremely unlikely but "common" in Hollywood movie depiction.
There is an existing standard for this: https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-...

It's generally really well respected by a lot of software. It's just not well known enough that its annoying. In my experience a lot of the failures are from Apple developers assuming that this is a "Linux spec".
A despicable advertising campaign for military recruitment. Ironically our saving grace may end up being that such a large majority of Gen Z'rs don't come close to the minimum level of physical and mental fitness that this campaign is likely doomed to fail.

Wikipedia article of the researcher [0]. UC SF investigated the research in the 2022 and the researcher apologized, saying:

> [While] the work I did with colleagues at CMF was considered by many to be appropriate by the standards of the day, [in retrospect] those standards were clearly evolving. I obviously would not work under those circumstances today... I have sincere remorse in relationship to these efforts some decades ago."

Yes, our 2021 Mazda lets you opt out in two ways.

1. Every time you start the car, you can navigate into the system menus to deactivate data collection and transmission.

2. Call customer support, give them your VIN, and follow up in a week or two. That’s what we did.

Alternatively, I suppose you could just pull the SIM card or its fuse.
What is the current fake charge keeping him in jail?
I was replying to a subject forked sub-thread, so what I said isn't directly applicable to the article.
The same thing happened at a lab near me. During lockdown maintenance just decided to turn off the freezer. Maintenance was absolutely not supposed to touch the freezer. Presumably some notice was given to someone to go through the building and turn off anything on, and they thought that overrode the standing notice to not switch off the freezer.

You can't really prevent this kind of thing other than automated battery backup mobile network connected alerts.
When discussing, let's keep in mind what really mature configuration can look like:

https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.1.13.RELEASE/refer...

This is a big ridiculous, but the fact is that the entire order of processing there is a result of practical need evolved over likely thousands of organizations.

There are unit testing concerns, dev/test/stage/prod concerns, CLI args, OS vars, config files, IDE vs non-ide concerns, and more. And even some references to databases (if you squint and see JNDI as a database).

So yeah, finding out where property value X was set can be a bit maddening oftentimes.

"Configuration" is an afterthought in most languages and frameworks in initial iterations. So bespoke / one-off solutions will explode early on. As the original complaint details, "configuration" isn't just a simple property file. It gets complex pretty quickly, and a good configuration subsystem would be nice:

- supports most of the concerns above

- provides a means for logging the final config value set and WHERE IT SOURCED FROM

But... oh wait, config values aren't just key-value. Wait until you get to trees of values or other more complicated config. Then value overlaying gets pretty hard, and resolution code gets complicated too.

Think of infrastructure as code frameworks. The configuration is insanely deep and complicated. Many complicated systems have "configuration languages", and they are probably Turing Complete.

And once your configuration system is complicated enough ... your configuration system kind of implicitly needs ITS OWN configuration system.

So maybe the first config layer is actually a bootstrap for loading all the configuration info.

And.... then you have config values you need to secure. Hooo boy, now you have all the complexity of high security systems interfaces: authentication and authorization, decryption and hashing.

And invariably there are binary blobs encoded in text friendliness.

It gets crazy. Fast.

BUT THE AMOUNT OF SIMILARITY IS NUTS. NUTS. This is begging for a common approach or standard or library.
To each their own, but my recommendation is to not go to the dealer after buying the car (unless it's to fix something expensive covered under warranty). I recommend finding a good mechanic.

That said, I'm not pretending this is a perfect solution. But it's good enough for me and it can probably help other people as well.

Couldn't agree more, and I've spent a lot of time looking at this particular strain of culture from both sides and talking to high up figures inside of it. I'm surprised by the commentary here in other threads, and it does make me imagine how much time people have spent investigating this world versus strongly articulating "is-ought" fallacies.
Tesla FSD confirmed to fail at stop sign as attempts to discredit tests backfire
For background:

https://twitter.com/RealDanODowd/status/1672325190112641024

This event occurred during a short 1 hour drive with Dan O’Dowd, FSD critic, and Ross Gerber, FSD proponent. Ross Gerber driving his Tesla on FSD 11.4.4, the most recent released version.

The Tesla community had a immediate backlash claiming that Ross, a major Tesla investor, deliberately sabotaged FSD during the intersection to make Tesla look bad. Alternatively, and simultaneously, they claimed that the car would have stopped if only Ross Gerber would have waited and his intervention was unnecessary and detrimental to Tesla FSD marketing.

TeslaBoomerMama, a FSD proponent, who wishes Tesla legal would do things in these sorts of situations to prevent the spread of disinformation [1], organized a effort on Sunday to test the intersection to prove that Dan was engaging in disinformation by claiming that the car was engaging in a dangerous behavior and would have run the stop sign and potentially crashed into the oncoming car.

The testing conclusion is that it is “slow to stop when crossing straight” and “this intersection has a problem… the system does not detect the stop sign in a timely enough manner and you are entering at about 60 kph or about 35 mph, so the problem is real”. In other words, it runs the stop sign as originally claimed by Dan. However, they go to great lengths to try to state that as obliquely as possible while still claiming that Dan is dishonest and mischaracterizing the nature of the event.

There are biological differences between men and women, everyone saying otherwise is deluding themselves.

Is the implication instead that children should have two parents? Ie. Sharing the burden, more perspective and the like cause the benefits?

If so, given that most children are born of conventional couples, it makes sense to say they should have their father in their life.
It has probably to do with the number of unmanaged power cycles. A hobby electronics project will see many of those. A weather station may only see them when the power in the neighbor goes down.
Ding ding ding. The research articles being cited both explicitly state "sex" and make no disclaimer.

The statement reads as having been added after the fact due to potential ambiguity by not explicitly stating (gender|sex) once and/or misquoting by the audience intended to be reached ("Nature says gender = sex").
North America had megafauna for 55 million years. Do you really think it's coincidence that they all died out 10,000 years ago?
"besides not supporting Windows..."

My view on index funds is that they have changed a lot over the last 20 or so years. The default for most financial advisors is to divide your stock investment in index funds with an emphasis on the S&P 500 and it doesn't seem like it's going to change anytime soon. So going forward there's going to be a continuous flow of money into those stocks. Additionally, companies are more likely to buy their own stock versus declaring a dividend which reduces the supply of available stock which in turn makes the stock rise. All of this is very positive for index funds going forward.

Also, we have seen that the FED will do their best to make sure the stock market does not fall apart for any long period of time. All of this adds to my confidence that it's really the only way to invest as long as you have a broad period for your investments. During the Covid-19 bear market they were thinking of buying stocks to help the market. I don't think they did but it was on the possibility list. That says a lot about how far they will go.

Lastly, Warren Buffet's view is that if the S&P falls apart it won't matter since it's likely that there are bigger issues to worry about so it won't really matter. He's got a good point.
We need to lay to rest the idea that patriarchal societies arise just because men are physically stronger. There are known quite a number of matriarchal tribal societies where inter-tribal warfare was a significant focus of their society, so physical violence was strongly tied to social status. I"m thinking of pre-contact North America in particular.
.meta applies to projects, not system wide configuration.
I’ve had this happen enough to just expect it “someday” and learned not to fight it.

When Time Machine goes stupid, just wipe it and start over. Any efforts to try and recover or repair are just folly. Just watch your life tick away for days and days only to inevitably fail.

It doesn’t happen often, but does happen every couple years. Many times it’s an indicator the drive is bad.

That said, I’ve never had a problem recovering from TM. Whether it’s a single file, directory, or a complete reinstall.

I have TM for my main drive, and use BackBlaze for everything (including my main and media drives).
Right. The XDG scheme uses ".config" in place of the article's ".meta" suggestion.
Didn't they voluntarily ban The Daily Stormer? And while horrible, I don't recall there being anything illegal about that, whereas IPFS likely requires them to take manual action repeatedly to avoid legal penalty.
It's not the same. There are definitely people who try to exploit both OSes, but the conversation around securing them couldn't be more different. MacOS is developed in the "Cathedral" style - closed source, with a small group of contributors who assume responsibility for everything (including security response). Linux is developed in the "Bazaar" style, with patches being freely distributed and incrementally contributed by the community for each release. This represents a fundamental change in how security is handled; Linux can merge a fix as soon as it's available and passes review. Mac issues must be reported by a user, passed to an Apple engineer, located in the codebase, fixed, and then reviewed before it can make it into a Rapid Security Response patch. Apple's system is less transparent, often slower, and overall more convoluted than developers and users pointing to the spot that's broken.
You are asking the wrong question!
Do you also support blackface? If not, would it be Ok to have these rules?

- If you actually do blackface, you are accountable by current social standards on that matter

- If someone releases a deepfake of you in blackface and doesn't make clear it's machine generated, you can sue them for libel

- If some releases a ML photo of you in blackface and clearly states it's machine generated, you are accountable for nothing and they are accountable by current social standards regarding blackface.
Yeah, the idea that we drive the body around is some official ancient heresy I believe.
I also use CCC — in addition to Time Machine, running on a tiny little SD card sitting flush inside the laptop. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1687325-REG/transcend...

CCC is great, but it doesn’t back up in near-real time and doesn’t do versioning. It wouldn’t have saved my butt while I was on the road last Friday like “built-in” Time Machine in my SD slot did.
There indeed are many people pushing the idea that sex isn't binary using things like Disorders of Sexual Development (intersex), other species that can change sex like clownfish (pretending this says something about humans), and also creating confusion between sex and gender and conflating them (such as how your sex is listed on ID, but people claim a gender, such as the opposite sex or non-binary, and have that gender listed as their sex).
And only one of many. The book obviously never went near a PR person. Highly recommended for anyone with the slightest interest in jazz.

It surprises me that this is "new".

When I was active duty in the navy through the 90's I specialized in psychiatry and worked at an inpatient psych ward.

One of the things we did for all patients was force them to go to the gym every day.

Yes, force.

Military psych wards were a bit different than civilian. You could give orders.

In this case, it was necessary - the last thing you'll willingly do when you're suicidally depressed is exercise.

Getting a nearly catatonically depressed patient out of bed was a huge challenge, getting them to the gym even harder.

But we did it. Every day.

In my experience, this was more effective treatment for depression than any meds or psychotherapy. It worked wonders, way faster than SSRIs.

Not so great for the psychotic disorders though. We had some "interesting" incidents at the gym.
Fake car insurance.

In Colombia there's a mandatory type of car insurance called SOAT. You have to renew it annually and it's frequently asked for when you are pulled over by the cops. This fake site is supposed to allow you to either buy or renew the SOAT.

exercise has made my anxiety and depression worse. I've done all kinds from weight training to ramping up to a full marathon

Chase Bank claims Linux on ARM (Asahi Linux) is “incompatible”, blames Apple
Agreed. Have a 14 MBP. Nice hardware. MacOS makes me want to scream and tear my hair out.
Leaky abstractions are bad abstractions. So what you are basically saying is “don’t implement bad abstractions”. Ehhhh right. I think we can all agree to not implement bad things. There is no insight or enlightenment there IMHO.

Yeah, I wrote this on a 2012 MacBook Pro running Mojave. My replacement MacBook Air 15” will be ready for pickup in a week. :-)
Clearly, this is all about driving cars or trucks in the park. The roads there are intended for pedestrians, cyclists, etc. It seems that 93% agree with me. Well done, everyone. ;-)
Is anyone else using borgbackup on their Mac? It lets me dedupe across OSes and computers, better than Time Machine. I’ve been using it for years and have accumulated some paths to exclude in my home folder, but constantly unsure if I should be excluding some other system metadata.
Geez, I'd like to reply in the lines of "Dear dumb AI, please cut the bullshit and tell me plainly why you've blocked access to my account.".

Hopefully you have no funds left with them, I wouldn't trust them saying your funds are safe...
> My question is, what’s your solution?

Legislation around mergers and acquisitions. Enforcement of existing anti-trust legislation.
Generally I think the use case is "duplicate the boot volume of my machine onto an attached usb drive" though I think these days not all Macs will boot from an external drive? I have SuperDuper doing scheduled backups like this, along with Backblaze for offsite (but not so bootable) backups.
It’s just not true that every market price is fair. There are all sorts of sources of market inefficiencies, and this is one of the reasons why governments spontaneously arise or form.
Medical writings have been ascribing disease to bad airs, humors, gods, and curses, head shape, and all kinds of junk for thousands of years, yet somehow we evolved past that, no?
Sure it would be, but I think the implied point above was that including the period the device is sold (what's that? say three years), the total support time is much closer to the ten years that was being discussed up top, and pumping out more new devices may shorten that back to closer to five years.
That is just plainly false. It does translate to many other languages wonderfully, and there are many other tasks it can handle spectacularly well.

The problem is determining whether it's doing well or not if you don't have sufficient knowledge and/or experience to evaluate the output.
Yes, but why would anyone follow this very reasonable line of thinking if you don't have a custom domain name to back it up?
Dodge, Ram and Alfa Romeo are the top 3 brands in terms of quality?

“worry about caching”

At scale, caching is typically a principle engineering concern.
This has basically already been proposed via the XDG (Cross-Desktop Group) Basedir Spec in 2014 [1].

The latest version of which can be found here: https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-...

There is a lot of pressure to conform within one's peer group from a very young age. It is possible that "nurture" pushes men and women down these destructive paths rather than nature.

As others mentioned, if you are in DC it is easy to take a train to Philly or NY and you can then catch a flight from one of the airports in those areas.
`broot` (https://github.com/Canop/broot) is another file manager with a curious interface that seems to fill a similar niche.

Of course, there are many other file managers to choose from (mc, ranger, nnn, lf, ....), but most of them don't show nested subdirectories by default.
> "If you are creating an open source application" is a usage restriction/discrimination. That's not allowed for open source licenses.

No it is not. "If you are creating an open source application you may use the software under the GPLv3 or later" means "if you want to comply with the GPLv3+, you may use it under that license".

This is just licensing all the software under 3 separate licenses:

1. The GPLv3 or later with no added conditions.

2. For non-commercial, closed source use you can use it under https://polyformproject.org/licenses/noncommercial/1.0.0/

3. For commercial, closed source use you can buy a commercial license.

That's fully acceptable for GPLv3 and open source licensing in general as long as the software can be licensed by you under each of those 3 licenses separately (i.e. the dependencies are all compatible with each license and all contributors have either signed over their rights or have documented agreement to the above licensing conditions).

This is for the exact same reason that you can find dual GPLv3 (or AGPLv3) and closed source commercial licensed projects. It takes a bit of work on the IP management side but it's perfectly acceptable.
But should it be assumed that you can appreciate that distinction? What it is to be a man is /rooted/ in being killed for being men from the opposing side for millions of years. There is no biological purpose for low status man, which is in stark contrast to women of all status.
Rather than an OK button instead use the verb as the button label to describe will happen: Rename, Delete, Don’t Save, …
Great as a concept - terrible when it comes to the crushing reality that is the dating market as it is.

Average looking men are already dealing with an incredibly challenging dating market. Now you add on that they have higher expectations for their partners behavior - you're going to be completely alone for the rest of your life.

I hate to say it but the reality is - you're better off trying to mold/brainwash/train your partner to become more accepting of men's feelings than looking for some unicorn that already accepts them.

Maybe that's just waiting on some settled precedents on what's really a new model. Could this be brought before a judge who'd then possibly rule that SKUs 1, 2, and 3 are essentially the same device and should thus count as such for the purposes meant here?
I've seen multiple women wearing shirts in San Francisco that said something about 'mediocre white men'. I was kind of blown away as I have always been pretty hard left, but it was shocking how blatant racism/sexism if it's targeted at one particular group is almost fashionable.
Other Uhaul life hacks:

You don't have to be 25 to rent a uhaul.

There are uhaul franchises nearly everywhere, at least compared to regular car rental outfits.

And a note: uhaul has two fleets. The local only fleet, and the one way fleet. The one way fleet has more reliable/newer trucks. If you're doing a lot of miles locally and you ask nicely, they'll sometimes give you a truck from the one way fleet.

Good luck getting home!
Why drive to NYC? If one is in DC you can just take the train, especially if then shifting to a train from NYC to Montréal…
