I use Alexa day-to-day to:

- Check the time while doing something else.

- Set timers when cooking or before I need to leave

- Converting units or doing calculations.

- Check the temperature or weather.

- Set the temperature of radiators in specific rooms.

- Announce upcoming calendar events prior to their occurrence, e.g. which bin day is it tomorrow.

- Play/Pause my TV if I'm eating something messy.

- Occasionally for playing music.

Despite this it still feels very limited. I'd use an assistant that integrated an LLM even more frequently. Alexa's biggest drawback is that she isn't conversational, follow-ups only work when they've been explicitly supported. You can't ask her to clarify or correct her in most cases.

Not much work seems to have gone into tightening up the rough edges either. Multi-User support is pretty poor, failing at fairly basic things like "what's on <wife's name>'s calendar tomorrow?". She's unable to answer much about packages as well. Asking her what items are included in the delivery simply prompts her to re-announce that a package is being delivered today.

This has been proposed yearly for a long time. See https://dot-config.github.io/ for one of the latest attempts.

Hiding files under a directory is not really a solution for anything other than slightly improving file navigation, but even if you think it's valuable, the real problem is getting tools to adopt it. There is no incentive to be the first. The intermediate state is terrible - now you need to guess if a config is located at the root or this new config directory, and if your version of the tooling is able to pick up the new location.
A separate directory being crowded with things that serve a similar purpose is vastly superior to dumping crap in the project root, though...

Heh, I did some work on a pretty cool tank monitoring hardware/software solution with a major fuel supplier here about a decade ago. They have facilities with about a dozen large vertical 40-80,000L above-ground fuel tanks for agricultural use. One of the features I was working on was leak detection, and we got the sensors and statistical analysis down to the point where, when testing with water, I could accurately detect the rate of evaporation from a smaller indoor tank.

Anyway, we’re in an area that doesn’t have a whole lot of “acts of God” kind of destruction; no hurricanes or earthquakes, high winds occasionally but tornados are quite rare, etc. They reported to me that the number one cause of leaks on their above-ground tanks was bullet holes. Just… people randomly shooting at the tank farms. They don’t catch fire when this happens generally, they just spill out from the hole until someone catches it and transfers all of the fuel out of the tank.

Do we know that these aspects of masculinity actually hurt men, or are we trying to put a woman-shaped hat on men? Who's to say that men are incapable of dealing with their emotions through sombre silence? Stoicism has to confer some fitness advantage, either evolutionary or socially, otherwise it wouldn't be such a large part of masculinity.
Tornadoes are more likely to ruin an above ground tank.

I thought something like that myself, i.e., that it could have been legends, or a kind of proto-religion based on stories told by earlier ancestors that would have come from the north, which these people would of course not have known. They only knew that there were stories told “from the homeland” where there were large beasts and plenty.

Aside from all the other problems with this that others have pointed out, the most obvious hyper-masculine adversary you might be referencing is currently proving to be embarrassingly inept at actual war. I would have expected western (particularly US) culture conservatives to stop complaining about the masculinity of our armed forces compared to our rivals once one of the rivals in question showed all the performative macho bullshit in the world doesn't make you actually good at fighting.

That's a remarkably moralistic and simplistic view that ignores the realities and mechanics of large-scale power. Simply LARPing as though we're world-changing with our banal existence isn't helpful, it's pure self-indulgence.

Unless you're very wealthy, very violent, or very committed to a cause (often to the point of entering politics or raising/moving money) your individual contribution is negligible.
I see no reason for this at all.
The issue is not NAT as a firewall. Every routers shipped to customers also come with a firewall and replicating what NAT does by default is dead simple. That’s a red herring.

The issue is that migrating to ipv6 meant changing equipments on the backbone and dealing with the change and no operator wanted to bear the cost. It’s getting better now that there is a dearth of ipv4 and people see an immediate benefit.

And I'd happily run them if the hardware situation wasn't so damn grim. There's no Arm booting standard so you have to re-invent the kernel for each model of chip vs just booting an x86 PC and let the kernel poke at discoverable hardware and figure it out. Arm has old-school ISA like configuration for your non-discoverable hardware with devicetrees preventing generalized kernels from existing.

Someone please make open booting and hardware configuration for a general OS on Arm a reality. Without standard booting I feel that open source OS phones will never exist. They're always behind on driver development leaving users with buggy battery murdering devices that are missing features. Dev's don't want to bother with messy alpha quality platforms. They move slow as they don't have FAANG money so the platforms never gain momentum. Simple general booting will change that - no more recompiling a kernel using some byzantine labyrinth build system - just write an image to SD or USB and boot.
I see what you mean. That's more interesting than I originally thought.

If a company has a hypothetical 10 barrels of oil on hand, and is given two choices: (1) do no work and sell the 10 barrels; (2) do work, use the 10 barrels, and have 11 barrels left over to sell or use again

Why would the company choose option 2? Option 1 is both easier and results in 10x the immediate value. I suppose over enough cycles (i.e. >10x), the "1 additional barrel per cycle" will add to more net barrels sold to market.

But with any meaningful discount rate, the time value of money would almost certainly be greater for option 1. Maybe fracking was a ZIRP phenomenon.
Do you know if your 2002 has side-impact anti-intrusion bars in the doors?

I loved my 1999 Isuzu Amigo, and was sad when I was rear-ended in 2017 and had to get rid of it, but that fender bender probably saved my life.

I replaced the Amigo with a 2014 Outlander Sport and in 2019 I was t-boned at an intersection, with the other car driving directly into my driver's side door. I was amazed to find that I escaped without a scratch. I did some research and found that the Amigo had terrible side-impact safety ratings; if I was still driving the Amigo I probably would have been crushed.

In 2007 (effective 2009), the NHTSA mandated that all new vehicles have anti-intrusion bars in doors. That bar saved me.

I think there's a sweet-spot in the mid-2010s when vehicles were being built with efficiency, safety, and durability in mind and weren't yet being festooned with computerized junk.

Your problem here is that if you look black, many racists and bigots won't say what they actually think to your face. (Or they justify it as 'oh, he's one of the good ones')

They are often more than happy to confide in what they think of ------------ when they feel they are in a safe space. A friend of mine, who is half-black, but passes as a white guy gets way more of that than he should in North Carolina [1].

My brain is still "me" more than the meat sack I use to to ice skate, lift weights, and ski. I just think of my body more like a mech I can learn to pilot via telepathic control interface that gains sensitivity over time.

I'll never be one of those athletes who lets go of conscious control and runs off muscle memory, but I've really enjoyed learning enough about my body that I can use it the way it was designed. It feels good when you go from "some part of me is always hurting" to "every step I take recruits muscles from foot and ankle to upper back because I learned how to use all of them against gravity".

> This is avoid making a mess in the root directory of projects, as [this] tweet laments.

Registered an entire domain name to back an idea based on a tweet, but completely missing the point of that tweet. If only they'd read the tweeter's own replies under that same tweet they could've avoided wasting their time on this.

For clarity: the original tweeter was bemoaning the state of JS tooling (the busy root directory being a symptom - not the core problem). Throwing your fifty config files in a hidden subdirectory is what's typically referred to as "supporting dysfunction".
Could the same be said for serious student-athletes (e.g. Division 1)? My understanding is that most Div1 collges have pretty stringent/strict minimum training schedules in order to maintain scholarships and team slots.
This is a false choice. There is no reason that safety would require commercial surveillance. Also, why did you put the word tracking in quotation marks?

This is what mountain biking does for me. It's not hard, and it's pretty safe, but maintaining decent speed while navigating trails... it's a flow state.

Heck, a week ago I did a 100 mile MTB race, with the goal of finishing and being happy. While bits and pieces are there, some chatting with folks and things I saw along the trail, but I honestly do not remember most of the ~9 hours I was riding. It was just a thing I was doing, disconnected from most of the rest of the world, and content doing it.

(Note, I'm talking about XC/cross-country mountain biking, and to some extent trail biking. NOT the big downhill/jump/whatever stuff that comes up most often in media when sees mountain biking. It's still quite exciting, but far safer because it's really just riding bikes on hiking-ish trails.)

Sounds like you had better luck than I did. After about a year of getting DMCA notices, Hetzner told me to remove my IPFS gateway from their network or they would kick me off.

I followed the DMCA process, added nginx block rules to make all the content mentioned in the DMCA notices impossible to access, and even submitted "statements" to Hetzner for each DMCA notice they got. None of that saved me.
VPN providers and TOR exit nodes are a different beast, IMO. They're potentially liable for everything that goes through them, but it's a "push" model, not a "pull" one. Plenty of organizations don't want to interact with, or intermediate in hosting, TOR exit nodes, because they fear any kind of illegal thing could come through those nodes - but until something specific does come out, that's a risk management reason, not a legal reason.

In contrast, IPFS gateways are running on a "pull" model. Anyone can come to the gateway, and pull through it anything that's stored anywhere in the IPFS network. This is meaningfully different, in the same way "users could post illegal/infringing content to YouTube" is different from "there exist illegal/infringing content on YouTube already posted, available to anyone who know the ID to put in the URL". In the former case, possibility of "bad" upload doesn't create a problem until such upload actually happens; in the latter case, possibility of a "bad" download is a problem even if, so far, no one actually downloaded the "bad" thing.

> I think that's why DMCA safe harbor exists, and it could be argued that an IPFS gateway is acting as an OSP

I don't have any argument against that. I assume this wasn't tested in courts yet, and the rights holders are exploiting this uncertainty, expecting that no IPFS gateway operator will try to contest the DMCA claims.

> TimeMachine is free and "good enough" for local / local network backups for most people

If you backup to an APFS-formatted network share, Time Machine is quite good and much more reliable than it was when backing up to HFS+ volumes. There was a lot of hackery going on to make HFS+ act like a modern file system emulating snapshots, which it didn't have. You could end up with millions of hard links; turns out that was kinda fragile…

APFS supports snapshots and a bunch of other features that makes Time Machine faster and more reliable.

> it would require 4x the circuit area

A DAC would involve a larger PCB. A small DDS (si5341) would be pretty good though at 3x3mm. Three phased channels could drive the six inductors far beyond any feasible speed here.

A SMT photodiode and IR LED could do this off the edge with some fiddling, which appears to be in ample supply here.
> Can you think of anything feminine that takes more strength than motherhood?

Sure. Enduring this kind of misogynistic classification of their womanhood when they don't have a child (regardless of the cause). The idea that someone isn't "feminine" or "strong" if they haven't pushed a child through their vagina† is complete and utter horseshit.

† Take note sometime of how much crap women who get c-sections will get from society.
What does refusing to use the rear view camera have to do with data collection? Those were added because kids were getting run over and killed by reversing vehicles. It seems irresponsible to not check it (along with all the other normal checks you do when reversing).
Something happened around Big Sur that made Synology and Time Machine not get along for me. I set the share up with a quota and everything is great and happy. Time Machine backs up. But once that quota is exceeded, Time Machine complains about not having enough free space and quits. It used to delete old backups but now, no matter what I do, it just complains about free space and quits. :(
> In my concrete example, given that FILE and DIR were classified as objects, to which of the so-called objects does F(const char*, FILE, DIR) belong? Possible answers: 1. FILE 2. DIR 3. None of them 4. Both of them 5. They stop being objects 6. New objects are created, and those own F 7.Something else

I don't think your question necessarily has an answer, but if I have to pick, I'd say (3). F is a classless method; FILE and DIR are classes; as a classless method, F cannot belong to any class, so it can't belong to FILE or DIR.

If the function was F(FILE, const char*, DIR) then F might be a method of FILE instead, if the code base is following the "this is first argument" convention.
I'd say you know nothing about networking until you get that there is nothing special about those “special” IP addresses. Or non-contiguous subnet masks. Or /32 — on both sides of point-to-point links. Subnets don't really exist, only network cards that apply masks to what they send and receive do exist.

After that you can gather some experience on why something can go wrong with that.

Then you can discover some networks that only pretend to be a shared ether, like Wi-Fi, where access point captures and analyzes transmissions with multiple destinations to decide which are first class and are worthy of re-transmitting, to answer directly on its own, or even convert one protocol into another.
You can't post things like "But you are so deluded it is scary. These kind of extreme beliefs is what drives terrorist." That's unambiguous personal attack and we ban accounts that post this way.

It’s possible. You could set it to run only 1 tab per browser, and 1 pro instance per VM.
I tend to agree. The reason these files land in the root directory of many repos is because the multitude of tools that use them expect their file to be in $PWD, and running make or mvn or docker or npm from the root of the repo is usually convenient. Changing that paradigm needs more of a justification than tidiness, I think.

For me I find ~3 hours a week are what I need to feel good. As things ramp up (like they tend to in the summer) I tend to need those big rides, but if I do have to back off (say, winter) then as long as I don't go below an hour every other day, I'm good.
