Snapshots are not backup, they are useful on their own. So are subvolumes and reflinks, and ext4 has neither of these.
> it’s clear that straight-out blocking HTML attachments with JavaScript is not an option for most organizations, as it would impact important business communication.

I suppose it depends on what your job is. My habit of decades for personal email is to not allow HTML at all. I do the same in the office. Sometimes, this means I'm reading the HTML source directly to get the information, which is inconvenient, but it's worth it to me.

Fortunately, most important emails I get contain no HTML at all, or use only trivial HTML that doesn't hinder reading the source.

I do wish people wouldn't use HTML in emails at all (it rarely adds anything useful to the email), but that's not the world I live in.

> The USPTO initially rejected our application as confusingly similar to the existing trademark on GitHub, which was filed in 2008. While one might imagine where the "Git" in GitHub comes from, by the time we applied to the USPTO, both marks had been widely used in parallel for years. So we worked out an agreement with GitHub which basically says "we are mutually OK with the other trademark existing".

> ...

> So GitHub is essentially outside the scope of the trademark policy, due to the history. We also decided to explicitly grandfather some major projects that were using similar portmanteaus, but which had generally been good citizens of the Git ecosystem (building on Git in a useful way, not breaking compatibility). Those include GitLab, JGit, libgit2, and some others. The reasoning was generally that it would be a big pain for those projects, which have established their own brands, to have to switch names. It's hard to hold them responsible for picking a name that violated a policy that didn't yet exist.

CI systems shouldn't have the ability to make network requests at all, honestly.
Fair observation about web apps vs. desktop apps / systems. So maybe the browser should intentionally slow things down when using the device-specific previews to mimic real-world behavior, instead of just changing the window size? :)

In any case... the fact that you need so powerful machines to develop the app is also an indicator of waste at all layers. It hadn't cross my mind to showcase how even CLI tools have gotten sluggish, for example, but they have... Running 'aws', or 'az', or things like that show visible pauses at startup too. Furthermore, the tendency to depend on tons of services "for scalability" is also questionable in the majority of web apps.

It takes a lot of work to keep the development environment lean because it's easier than ever to pull in library and tool dependencies into them. It's doable, but usually also not a priority.

Edit: By the way, I do develop a few web apps on the side where I can be careful about dependencies and the like, and the resource needs are minimal. Running a database and web server on the local machine take almost zero resources. The heaviest thing of all is the JavaScript toolchain, which is... quite telling. And I can run the hundreds of integration/unit tests for the apps in milliseconds. It has taken care to get to this point though, and I have never experienced this kind of "lightweightness" in a corporate project. Here is a post that provides some background on just one aspect (https://jmmv.dev/2023/06/iii-iv-task-queue.html), and I'm working on another one to describe the testing process in detail.

I've wanted to build something similar but mainly as a tool to help me aggregate and run a newsletter, then repurpose the content into tweets, auto generated short and long form videos, and Instagram posts.

Say it pulls in news and maybe top new products for the day or week or past two days depending on frequency of newsletter, I run an ai newsletter https://curl.beehiiv.com, and am looking for ways to automate 90 percent and then the rest is just editing voice and tone and fact checking.

But if I intentionally run my code in hamstrung VM's, it achieves the effect you are advocating, which is a good thing, by the way. I do agree with you.
Scientific datasets like that can be very easily hosted at one of the repositories such as zotero. The only reasons people don't do that is a vague sense of insecurity about having someone declare their analysis botched, vague legal worries, vague unwillingness to do the very small amount of work required to publish data, or the hope to milk a dataset for more papers before anyone else gets a chance.

> government can spend money selflessly

"Selflessly" insofar as everyone involved has no incentives, internal or external, that direct their behavior one way or another; which is to say, not selflessly at all.

The government isn't a machine that takes action for the good of the citizens with no feeling. It's a messy organization composed of people who are all looking out for their salaries, what makes their boss look good or their rivals look bad, whether they win the next election, and maybe sometimes the stated mission of the organization or the good of the citizens. And moreover, it does all that with the might of the law, the monopoly on violence.

If it's a similar amount of money for a similar level of outcome, I'd much rather the people use the money to better society and not government, for those reasons.

> Thomas Sowell, he's basically the guy to victim blame minorities into saying that being poor is their fault

What a demeaning way to describe a human being with an incredible personal story and his life's work. And it's wrong, too: if you simplify into a sentence or two what he says about minorities (and his body of work extends far beyond that), it's that well-meaning government policies often incentivize minorities into entering cycles of poverty, and that minorities should depend on themselves first and foremost and not the government to improve their lot.
For the same reason that ISPs tend to come under fire when their customers are using MTAs to deliver large volumes of e-mails to non-consenting recipients.

Are you saying it's not an ISP's problem that spammers are using their product in a legitimate manner, but instead it's up to the recipients to build their own spam fighting resources? Yes, that turned out wonderfully.
Or they have an understanding that they're being hazed (for lack of a better term) but if they make partner/finish residency they have a not necessarily cushy life but are, as you say, going to be well-paid and have a decent professional life if they like the work.

You can still install Windows 11 on the 7th gen chip, they just don’t make it easy to encourage people to upgrade to secure systems. It’s not at all arbitrary though, in the way Apple culls supported machines.
It's a very risky industry. It's quite likely to sink a ton of money into a game and earn very little back, basically wasting everything. Game series that consistently make revenue are even rarer so they're extremely coddled while they last, though it is expected that eventually they will die, too. The rare successes cover the costs of the common failures.
I disagree. Microsoft has a duty to keep their systems from accessing others at unreasonable rates when requested, even if it's being done at a user's request. Microsoft may not be perpetuating the DoS, but they seem to be complicit.

This could easily be used by a truly nefarious party to do similar damage or worse to others.

Yep, it's a bit terrifying to contemplate. If you're ever unfortunate enough to do safety critical systems, you'll have to remember that you have to protect against this not only at the software level with formal methods, but also at the hardware level to ensure that e.g. a bit flip in the CPU registers or the instruction sequence as it travels from memory also doesn't violate your safety model.
The lack of latency comes from decisions at every layer of the stack — apps don’t control scrolling or layout, the OS does. iOS is consistently responsive to user input throughout all versions and levels.
That's a lot of DLC.
It also has a lot of climate denialists, including politicians with national levels of power. And it's clear that a huge chunk of the reason that it selects climate denialists to be in charge is to preserve the wealth from fossil fuels.

It's also great that they're investing in renewables. But they're also preventing the country as a whole from taking actions that are required to deal with climate change before it becomes a calamity. And the rest of the world isn't eager to shoulder that burden themselves while the US is still one of the largest contributors to the problem.

> In general pay-as-you-go pricing should be lower for the same outcome than the all-you-can-eat version of the same thing, because you should be able to not pay for the downtime.

Could you clarify why this should be true? In the long run, given the costs are the same, then the income of the company also needs to be the same. This means that on average you'd pay the same. Some power-users would pay more with pay-as-you-go, some rarely-users would pay less, since they are cross-subsidizing the power-users in subscription models.

I can imagine some dynamics caused by power-users avoiding pay-as-you-go plans, so subscription plans see different usage patterns. But it's not at all obvious to me why this should be cheaper. On the contrary, all those on-demand resources need to exist and there needs to be infra for spin up/down etc, so I'd actually expect higher pricing.
Well, there's a reason it's called "the hard problem of consciousness" and not "just some incidental observation about models of consciousness". When evaluating general relativity it's not important to ask how mass/energy causes the curvature of spacetime; that's not the point of general relativity. But a theory of consciousness that doesn't explain the most intriguing, important component of consciousness doesn't explain what's important to me.

It can show that the best still isn't good enough for some scenarios, including this scenario where unmanned aircraft are entering US airspace unimpeded.

The US military might be better than the rest, but they were still defeated by poor people in the desert with some Casio watches and decades' old AKs.

Similarly, it seems that small drones are another potential avenue of exploitation in asymmetric warfare.
Maybe I'm an outlier because I play tons of games that are 10+ years old, but...

Skyrim w/mods is totally viable to me as an open-world RPG for years to come. I skipped Fallout 4, but if I had a refreshed (optimized, less-buggy, Linux-friendly) version of Fallout: New Vegas I wouldn't be concerned about getting another FO entry anytime soon either.

Hugely excited for Starfield though, it scratches an itch I've had for years: blending Mass Effect, Deus Ex, Fallout, and Elder Scrolls.
You are absolutely correct.

So my new projects are not out yet, but I will market them heavily once they are.

One of them is an init system specifically designed to be easier to use than runit and $6, while still being sane, unlike systemd. Yes, I'm going to focus on ease of use because as you said, that matters a lot.

However, I do have a project out in the public now. It ships with the base system in FreeBSD and also ships with Mac OSX. It is a command-line tool that lots of people may use in bash scripts.

Is that widespread enough?

Also, one reason people adopted mine over the GNU alternative is speed.

To give one example that is particularly troublesome:

Time Machine allows verification of backups when writing to a network share. When you write to an internal or external drive, you can’t verify your backup.

Any corruption to your backup over time can’t be detected so you can’t really trust that the backup is going to work when you need it.

On one hand, sure, there’s no way to verify historical file changes as the old versions are no longer on the current disk, but I should at least be able to verify that the current snapshot matches my current file system.

> New mowers and generators are mostly 4-stroke. But anything smaller is probably 2-stroke.

New as in the last 40-50 years? Can you please give me examples of recent 2 stroke mowers and generators available in the USA? I haven't seen a 2 stroke generator or lawnmower in all my years and I used portable generators a bunch at my old job (Coleman, Generac, Honda, etc). However Ive seen plenty of small 2 stroke motors on hand held lawn and garden tools, chain saws, boat engines and dirt bikes.

The only 2-stroke generator I can think of are those really small antique 500W generators that I think Coleman made in the 1960's or 70's?

The first person you lie to is always yourself.
One of the things that was said at the time was that the show was meant to be an anthology series where every season had a substantially different cast and so some of the strange actor reuse in Season 2 was alleged to be completely strike-related. (Though in practice how much was strike related and how much was contract related in that they apparently didn't actually correctly contract the actors for an anthology series and how much of it was meddling to keep well regarded cast members busy due to public reception/studio notes is all kind of up in the air, and probably entangled.)
As someone with ADHD, game dev has been a great hobby for me, but not something I could do full time (at least independently). There's so much breadth and depth in game development, you can hyperfocus on "the new shiny" almost indefinitely: 2D and 3D graphics, shaders, networking, AI, procedural generation, animation, physics, etc. And then there's worldbuilding research, sounds, music, pixel art, vector art, 3D modeling, etc.

All of these things led me down rabbit holes that gave a wealth of knowledge and experience, many of which I apply to my day job (or let me be in a position to move up). In 20+ years, I've made hundreds of prototypes, engines, and demos. I've only fully released a handful of games, and for the most part they were a slog to complete.

For the longest time I thought it was something wrong with me, just "too lazy" to complete something or I needed to "try harder." I've since come to learn more about ADHD and see it's an expected result as dopamine levels change throughout the project. So I've changed my expectations from "I'm going to run my own indie studio someday" to "I'm going to work on whatever moves me right now and use it as a fun learning experience."
Probably one of the biggest speed ups to your inner loop writing / running code is to use something like https://github.com/Canop/bacon/. I used a combination of the docs and GPT chats to increase my learning speed a lot.
You're misreading the text. They're not claiming that CoD makes that amount of money per year. They're saying that people who played even a minute of CoD spent that much across the PS ecosystem as a whole.
Did you get to see Cotopaxi? It's in the same room, in the center. I have the good fortune of living near the DIA.
More frustrating, I don't think those games necessarily need that much time, it's also Bethesda spacing out the main titles of their major franchises evenly so they don't cannibalize each other. Every time Starfield got delayed, everything after it was delayed too.
It reminds me of when I'd buy used PS2 memory cards and find them full of nothing but different versions of the exact same sports titles. As someone who plays a ton of different games in very different genres I can't imagine never branching out.
