But at the same time, I feel like this creates opportunities for enterprising individuals. How hard could it be to feed fake data into said dongle and enjoy the lower cost?

Of course, I’d much rather prefer that stuff like this didn’t exist to start with. The older I get the less patience I have for messing with this junk. All of my cars are now idiot-cars thanks to the death of 3g, and I pull antennas and SIM cards ever since the onstar eavesdropping scandal.
I totally agree with doas being a good program with really good rationale. I also get that suckless does have a bit of a reputation that isnt for everyone (I've heard that it's basically impossible to make a PR to any of their projects). Theyre obviously not philosophically aligned, that was terrible wording, but I mentioned OpenBSD because its an excellent project that deserves more mention and a lot of the criticisms for modern software design in this post and thread are addressed by their design philosophy. That said, the compiling issue aside I think the overall embrace of simple, self-contained, C code is where you could compare the two.
> I would venture to say that these users notice because of the notification that says "Your device has been updated to iOS <version>"

That's what I meant.

> Apple can effectively silently run whatever code they want on most iPhones and iPads.

You may feel that this is a powerful argument, but I'm completely unimpressed by it when anyone can easily go into Settings and turn off automatic updates. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'm not a fan of automatic updates, especially as the default setting, but that's not because I think Apple is going to send down some secretly evil update. Rather, it's just because updates can break stuff that the user relies on, which is no secret.
Some sort of native transclusion other than <iframe> would be really nice.
> Aubrey Gordon has extensively studied diet and weight loss trends that suggest fat people can become skinny people, and has done an incredible job documenting the ways in which these schemes fail to achieve results for most people.

I broadly agree; current advice isn't working, and we shouldn't shame people for following bad advice and failing to achieve results. But that doesn't mean we should throw our hands up and ignore the problem either. Obesity is strongly linked to a host of health issues like diabetes and heart disease, it's an urgent problem to fix. At a societal level, we need more and more varied scientific research to find the causes of the crisis

At the personal level, it can be worthwile to keep trying different lifestyle changes; if you do eventually find something that works for you, you'll live a longer and healthier life.

(Addendum: everyone's metabolism is different. Something is causing the rise in obesity, but that something may affect you differently than other people. And maybe you would have had an unusually high weight naturally, even without the something.)
Sure if you want to frame it that way.

But it’s still not comparable to Ukraine.

The sheer scale involved is completely different and really shows the ability of the US to project force.

Whereas Russia is currently struggling to get 200km from their own border.

The causalities scales are also hugely different. The Russians have taken likely close to 5x the causalities in about 1/4 the time.

Russia is clearly not a super power but that doesn’t mean other countries like America aren’t.

I bought the DVDs. It used Adobe Air which I had never heard of and is discontinued. Each page of the magazine is in some encrypted format but I found software on the internet to decrypt it. You can use cp to get those files. Then you can google about the encryption.

My parents got me a subscription in 1987 when I was a kid and I'm still a print edition subscriber and linked my online account to my subscription. I can read any issue online as well and print to PDF so I do that every couple of months so I have every issue from 1888 to 2023.
Wasn't this the case with Vercel? They started out as Now v1 which was closer to Fly.io, and... became whatever the heck they are now, which is very different from where they started.
IMO gas and diesel vehicles should pay a higher tax for all the air pollution they create that the public has to clean up or deal with (in terms of adverse health effects, health care, etc).
> why not return it and charge a fee?

Your suggestion proves my point! With social contracts I don't need to pay this fee, but by getting rid of them I do; I'd be getting charged for other people's anti-social behavior!

Stepping back, social contracts are forms of trust at the societal level. Any economist or business person will tell you that being able trust others dramatically lowers transactional and operational costs. I want to be trusted so that I can take advantage of those lower costs.

> Man, I'm afraid to get banned by opening a GitHub issue but the usb driver looks bad.

I think the reason why you might get banned is because your tone comes across as harsh and non-constructive.

If instead of saying "The code formatting is awful", you said "I noticed the code formatting is a bit inconsistent and I'm not sure what (if any) code style it is following. Is there any way I can help improve this? Do you have a standard code formatting you follow, or any tools you've used to enforce code formatting? I've used X in the past, and I could contribute a PR to set you up with that, if that's something you are interested in" – nobody is going to ban you for putting it that way

Bold prediction.

Commercial airplanes have only recently used composite wings, under large regulatory suspicion and are used in a far more benign environment than 4000 m of water head.

I really dont think ppl appreciate what 4000 m of water means! 1 atmosphere is only a 10 meter water column. 4000 m is 400 atm. Actually more because water can no longer be assumed incompressible.

EDIT: to add another point - submarines are subject to implosion, which is a buckling failure. That sets up a vicious cycle where a small deformation gets worse, whereas a vessel at positive pressure will "straighten itself out"

Tesla isn't the same as other car companies, they don't have the dealership models and their repairs are in house. Expecting it to be the exact same as other car manufactures doesn't even make sense. That doesn't make it 'Alternative accounting'.

But by this magical slight of hand, you can't actually prove anything. Its a mostly irrelevant point used by TeslaQ people to distract from the actual numbers.

Because the actual numbers are positive on Tesla they had to come up with some absurd 'its all account fraud nonsense'.

> Tesla counts pretty much any warranty repair as good will. That means it doesn't eat into their per unit margin.

Tesla has Service separated as their own business unit. That is a sensible thing to do.

And yes, Service did lose money for years, because all of Tesla cars were under warranty and they were making large investments building 100s of service centers.

In the last couple years this has already flipped, Service is now profitable, and is about to get more profitable.

So this is just utterly idiotic to accuse Tesla of 'alternative accounting' or assume any kind of deceptions.

The numbers are all their. The are subject to regulation.

And the fundamental underlying profit numbers don't change, no matter how you rearrange the service business. So its just an utterly irrelevant point people like you bring up because they have nothing real to talk about.

> Get your tongue out of Musks' arse

And the true motivation shows itself. You are so hell bent on proving Musk is bad that you threw out your brain.

If simple black and white numbers say one thing, you have to invent some 'accounting fraud' nonsense that every single expert and the SEC disagrees with. And that is utterly irrelevant to boot. Even in the most charitable possible case, your argument means that per unit margin reported compared to other car companies should by the slightest bit different. Wow, truly the whole Tesla leadership should thrown into the gulag.

If you don't have the numbers black and white, you just make the worst possible assumptions. No matter how many expects, journalist, annalists and investors disagree with your assessment. And you clearly don't even know anything about space business, you are in it to prove Musk and SpaceX is bad, not driven by an actual analysis of SpaceX other then 'they raise money'.

We've had spam for a long time. Much of it used to be farmed out to low cost countries where people would summarize or aggregate data and present it in the most aggressively monetized way possible. AI spam will be better. I personally don't mind reading AI generated content. I prefer GPT over stack overflow written by humans for 95% of what I need help with. I also don't think it'll lead to more spam, as it probably wasn't supply constrained anyway. The demand for spam is pretty inelastic, meaning that as the supply shifts, it'll just lower the price and not impact quantity demanded much. It'll be better spam and the advertisers will have to pay less for it. Spammer margins will also likely go down as there is a lot more competition from the tooling.
Yes, it seems recursive and I don’t like it.

You can wave your hands around as much as you like but fundamentally this state based rule stuff says:

- apply styles

- now, query the current state

- based on the current state, apply different styles

I understand there are complex interactions that people want to cater for like sticky headers, but… really?

There’s only so far you can bandaid a declarative language like css.

If you want dynamic behaviour, use javascript. That’s why it exists.
Canada is doing this wrong. What will happen in practice is someone who lives in the US with an H-1B will move to Canada to get that "easy" job, all the while applying for jobs in the US. As soon as they find one in the US, they will leave again. This solution is a band-aid and Canada will be used as a doormat, as it often is.

Ok, let’s add a third scenario: aliens have visited Earth undetected. Hell, you can add as many scenarios as you like, I’m still going to go with ‘Aliens have not visited earth’ unless presented with overwhelmingly concrete evidence.

Anecdotes and eyewitness accounts from falliable humans and weird sensor readings from non-scientific sensors that are designed for war are not the least bit convincing to me.

Being visited by alien beings would be the most consequential event in human history, I’m personally fine with having an extremely high bar for any evidence or proof before I even entertain the possibility.

I do believe it’s probable that intelligent life exists in the universe, for what it’s worth.

The government lying to us and manipulating the population with psychological warfare is a much more germane, plausible, and historically aligned proposition than the suggestion that aliens are visiting earth. In fact if you assume aliens are visiting earth, then you must also assume the government has been lying to us about it. So either way, the government is lying.

> It’s explicitly illegal

Lol. When has this ever stopped any government agency, ever? The FBI conducted over a million illegal searches last year. The NSA lied for decades about its dragnet surveillance program. You think the DIA information office (Lue Elizondo's "former" workplace) is against fabricating some conspiracy theories in an effort to corral the people most susceptible to them? They could even justify it as a defensive maneuver against hostile forces who would otherwise propagandize the same people ("distract them with Lue Anon so the Russians can't target them with Q Anon").
They claim to be connected to MIT. Maybe loosely!

I wasn't trying to rebuke you. I was just genuinely confused because I haven't ever seen such drama go down at all. I just use mastodon the way I used to use twitter, which is to say, i scroll through it every now and then and see posts by my favorite podcast hosts. Most of them are on mastodon.social and most of the rest have self-hosted instances of their own. Nobody's defederated anybody amongst these instances that I know of, so I wasn't aware it was a big problem on the mainstream instances.

Anyway, clearly the "Fediverse" doesn't work for you. Okay. All these platforms have downsides, and unless one's willing to go all the way to DIY kind of stuff, yup, we're going to be subject to the whims of someone we hope will be generally benign in their actions. LMK if you discover a way around that.
The logarithmic base for an angle is something like "degrees", "radians" or "turns".

This is analogous to the way a scalar logarithm can have a base of "octaves" (doublings), "decibels", or "powers of the golden ratio" (as found in the Zometool construction toy). Or pick your favorite other logarithmic system.

Both are "units" in a certain sense, but neither one is quite the same kind of "unit" as light years or foot–pounds or amperes.

> 1 meter divided by 2 meters is 0.5 as a number. But it is only 0.5 radians under (1ish) specific arrangements of those lengths in a particular metric space

Just as 1 meter straight ahead divided by 2 meters straight ahead is the unitless scalar number 0.5, we can likewise treat angles (i.e. rotations) as ratios: 1 meter straight ahead divided by 1 meter to the right has the unitless bivector-valued ratio i, oriented like the ground you are standing on. You can multiply this bivector by some other coplanar vector to rotate it a quarter turn. For example, you can multiply it by the vector «3 inches due North» to get the new vector «3 inches due West»; notice how the units do not change because our bivector i is unitless.

I'm referring to Indian Programmer who came to Canada to start their own company to stay with the context.

Not "in general, Immigrants formed corp more than Canadians born in Canada".

US is different. Cost of business in Canada is high due to red-tapes and lower RoI than US (plus less Capital to go around).

The romanticization of Indian programmers creating a successful tech company in Canada (just like they did in US) is just that for now, romanticization.

Indian, specifically Punjabis, done better as Entrepreneur in non-tech in Canada.

Hence, far fetched.

125k CAD is 94k USD. Going from 135k to 94k USD is not trivial, and Vancouver is pretty expensive as well. Skytrain is pretty awesome though.

Here, let's have a worked example!

https://git.alpinelinux.org/aports/tree/main/nginx/nginx.ini...

In that entire file, there is exactly one function that exceeds 3 lines; the "upgrade" command, which AFAIK doesn't exist in systemd-land.

> That theoretically is a disadvantage but practically ~90% of the systemd scripts are "point at binary, pick user, group and work dir" and entirely trivial to understand; distro ones often are a bit fancier with limiting app capabilities but those are far harder to do in init script in the first place.

Partially true; I'll happily agree that 90% of daemons are the simple case. Of course, that's true regardless of the service manager in play; 90% of systemd service files are trivial, and 90% of initscripts are trivial. I'll also agree that there's an advantage to making the easy stuff common; if I were actually writing initscripts for a distro I'd have them start by including a library (probably `. /etc/init.d/_common.sh` or something like that) and then most of them would also just define the ~3 needed variables and use the default function implementations. And it would still be easier to follow than a compiled version.
