I use TrueNAS (FreeBSD) version. ZFS makes keeping data snapshots and external backups a fairly easy process. It really cut down on server data management time. The only issue I found with it is there was a now long patched SMB bug a few years ago in the TrueNAS software that caused my storage pool to become corrupted after a large transfer. And there was no way for me to recover the data. It was all lost despite the disks still spinning and presumably still having most and the 1 and 0s recoverable.

GPT or Copilot

Take this comment with a massive pinch of salt as I'm not a dev, just a sysadmin who does some scripting, and I've learned a ton already from asking ChatGPT to "refactor this function".

One of my colleagues had paid for Copilot out of his own pocket, and the guy went from having never touched Python to writing functional applications in a few weeks.

Note that the copilot doesn't help with anything non-code that you don't ask it. For example, I asked my colleague why he doesn't use venv, and it was because he'd never heard of it. He certainly isn't using version control either! On the other hand, his documentation is great because copilot helps write that as you go.
One of my favorite things I’ve ever heard was a creative writing professor in college would tell us “nobody cares about your dog.” Granted that’s probably not completely true, the idea was more about not assuming just because you care about a character, your audience will. You have to get them to buy into the character.

Just a memory I had thinking about this article.
You must have very limited use cases, I tried to do that but ended up with a vehicle that was heavily compromised because half my use cases are at odds with the other half.

I was driving to my office job in an F150, burning enough gas to finance and fuel a new Civic, all while being terrible to drive.

So I did the logical thing, and added a vehicle that was efficient and enjoyable to drive, a motorcycle.

But it's agility made me only further resent the truck during the winter months, so I also added a compact luxury sports sedan.

Worst part was the F150 was both "too much" truck to daily drive, but never enough when I needed to do truck stuff.

Tried to landscape my home with some crushed rock, had to do 9 trips bottomed out because of it's paltry payload. Couldn't tow enough to borrow a friend's skid-steer. Had to buy my bricks a half-pallet at a time, a full pallet bottomed it out before the forklift had even finished putting the full weight on.

Downsized the F150 to a Tacoma, anything over 1200lbs and it's more practical to pay for delivery using a proper commercial truck anyways.

In the end I ended up with 3 vehicles, and if I had the means I'd have 4, I'd split the compact luxury sports sedan into a small sports car and a full sized luxury sedan for long highway travels. And this is all before even adding an EV.

tldr: In the motorcycle community they say the correct number of bikes is always 1 more than what you have. I strongly feel that applies to cars/trucks too.
just give it the log output or error code and your code then in alot of cases it comes up with decent solutions
They seem to present a reasonable well thought out argument. I'd be interested in hearing a counter more nuanced than "nuh uh."
How can I run podman inside LXD? Last time I tried exactly that didn't work.

If this is what you actually do for a living, and have done for any substantial amount of time, I have to congratulate you for reminding me what envy feels like.

And if your real job is something more mainstream and this is just a side project, then I have to congratulate you for making it look like you have had all the time in the world to put into it.

But above all that I'm just happy that something like this exists, it feels like what the web should have grown into more broadly, back when it looked like everyone was going to make their mark on the world by meticuloudly curating something interesting about themselves to share with the rest of us.

I'd be interested in reading a writeup on this subject; I've always enjoyed running linux without a DE but the awful text rendering makes it a sub-par experience. I have one of the lcdfans modded thinkpads running Fedora and awesomewm in lieu of gnome shell.

But I still have most of gnome involved because something in there somewhere makes things look "nice" and if you just do a barebones install of X/wayland plus your WM of choice, things tend to look awful, and frankly I haven't got time nor energy to figure out what the magic sauce is.
Windows has an ABI for exceptions, I don't know about Linux.
That's the opposite with me! I just talked to my friend (yesterday) about his dream with a marriage and a child and how he met his feral girlfriend. He said he felt like he lived through a whole lifetime and we talked about dreams like that and how we could get more "inception" dreams where we live our lives and need psychedelic integration before coming back to our own dreary lives. I talked about the science of dreams and theories of them too and try to interpret it.

I always do dream interpretation too and it's fun to think of where those thoughts came from. It's just another way of thinking of dreams.
OpenAI Faces $3B Lawsuit Over Alleged Private Data Theft

Thanks for sharing how you code reviews with your juniors! You're definitely more patient than me in that respect. I'll try that out.

Our training program mostly revolves around teaching them the fundamentals, where I give them some specs & resources, and once they code that, I give a code review:
- They learned how to build some CLIs programs, where they make small clones of cat, find, grep, and cut.
- They learned how to build some basic data structures such as linked lists and some sorting algorithms.
- They learned some OOP by creating a CLI employee management system
- Also some Network Programming by replicating the core features of the rack gem, and building their own web framework from scratch
- They then take their hand-rolled frameworks, and they build the web version of the employee management system and ship it to heroku
- Other projects also include some common tasks in the company, such as creating their own authentication system.
- Lastly, they build their own design system using BEM CSS (a designer hands them a figma file, and they follow our internal CSS template / variables)

All of the above projects include code reviews, and the hope is that they learn how to become independent programmers & be able to contribute to any code, whether internal or open source. The goal is mastery of fundamentals.

I am not sure if I am too demanding -- our sprint is about 1.5 months long (0.5 months are for QA), but the expectation of that sprint is to ship one or a few features (e.g. a share button for a CRM for example).
A well applied lime wash is something more people should be aware of in the modern world. If you live in an old stone building it is what you should be using for exterior stonework and not modern paints!
“It would, in fact, take a catastrophic event involving the total dissolution of the US government and economic system for this to occur.”

As Hamlet would say, aye, there’s the rub. Economic collapse is actually far more frequent than is commonly believed, here survivorship bias of the US economy plays a staring role.

In the past century Chinese and Russian investments went to zero, not just stock but land, businesses, private property, it all went to zero. This is the largest country by land area and the largest by population. Given the average lifespan of empires is around 250 years, and the USA is going to be that soon in 2026, it may be even more likely.

Mathematically, do you believe perpetual growth in stock values and in concomitant asset inequality is feasible or even possible? Dubito ergo sum.

Isn’t this a building quality concern rather than a concern of building location and style?

I live in a townhouse with shared walls on both sides and we never hear our neighbours. I’ve asked them if they hear us (we have teenagers) and one said never, the other said sometimes an occasional thud (teenagers wrestling).

Similarly we have a private outdoor space or deck and a shared open area. Both are great and well designed. I think it can be done well.

I know too that often it is not.
It's illegal to suggest people to consider a different career path in our country. We unfortunately will be held liable for "encouraged" or "guided" termination.
You'd probably branch off a previous feature branch, introduce the bugs then do a mock PR that doesn't get merged, maybe even against a copy of the dev branch in case of accidents.
- If trading's only done between individuals,

- AND there are no market makers / liquidity pools,

- AND none of the holders of a stock have external pressures to sell (futures/options),

- AND the business itself hasn't filed for bankruptcy

Then no: The last traded price will be non-zero, and all sellers will have withdrawn from that market, as without external pressures, sellers will just wait out until buyers return to the market. In the interim, the price would remain fixed to the last traded price until trades resume.

It is fundamentally irrational to sell a stock at 0 under these narrow circumstances, when compared to the infinitely better option of just waiting until market trades resume.

Otherwise, yes.

- MMs/LPs create 'synthetic buyers' by facilitating order fulfillments, taking on some risk in hopes of making a return via the spreads in between buy & sell orders. Their participation, even in extreme circumstances, mean that price discovery continues even when everyone wants to withdraw from the market.

- Futures & options create obligations for buys/sells in the future due to the nature of said instruments.

- The bankruptcy portion is self-explanatory: A stock is worthless is there's no business to back the claim up.

> as if you're suggesting a McDonald's and a Walmart instead of a local breakfast shop and cafe and a small salon and a cute general store

I'd take the McDonald's and Walmart any day over the rest. In fact, I have a McDonald's and several supermarkets(including discount stores) within walking distance.

In your vicinity you'd want to have your basic necessities, not businesses catering to those who can afford to buy their breakfast and/or coffee every day.

Does it matter though?
It means that these AI systems are essentially unexplainable black-box systems that not even AI experts can figure out why it made those decisions. Example: (Self-driving cars confusing the moon with a yellow light, ChatGPT making up broken code or unsafe legal advice.)

This is why it is very difficult for anyone to completely trust these AI systems in very high risk situations. You would not board an Airbus jumbo jet without any human pilots and only controlled by an AI to fly from A-to-B end-to-end. (Not the same thing as autopilot)

Just ask any of these Turing award winning AI experts (Hinton, LeCun and Bengio) and not even they know why these systems hallucinate given the opaqueness of these AI models.
Hi Matt! I really liked the format/layout/style of your blog. Could you share what you’ve used to build it?
Nobody really cares about anything unless it’s part of a story they’re engaged with. Dreams are no different.

Eg: “In my dream last night I was big and went around eating buildings. I was angry for some reason” - boring.

Vs: “I work in a supermarket and I hate it. Last night I dreamed I was Godzilla, and I went to the supermarket I work at and reached my hand down and ate the supermarket whole. I could feel my coworkers still screaming in my belly, but I was still hungry”. More engaging right? It’s engaging because there’s story in it. It has relationship. Point of view. Tension.

It’s got nothing to with being famous. It’s all to do with being interesting. Dreams usually need to be digested a bit before they make good stories. They come out too wild. Too raw for popular consumption. Taming that (just enough) is the essence of good storytelling.
Both have CS degrees but from what I would say are "mid-tier" universities.

After they completed training, I gave them both Copilot and our internal ChatGPT (which uses the API). I did notice some speed improvement but still not to the pace & standard that I expect.
The article is from 2018, but to find and script settings, this person almost exactly does what I do with macOS.

I usually do:

% defaults read > 1

then tweak settings and then do

% defaults read > 2
% diff 1 2

I look at the diff and add those to a shell script, which I run when I do a new macOS installation.

I really love this thread. So many great websites, it almost reminds one of the good old days, where you could wander from one blog to another.

I have ended up with two blogs and by no means update them often enough. My personal blog started out as being tech-focused with a bit of photography and motorcycle content, but is probably leaning more and more in way of photography and motorcycles.

https://jesperreiche.com/

Hence I started a more simple static site generated from Github to handle the more tech-oriented topics. But as fate would have it, I have worked very little with any even mildly interesting tech-related subjects since then so the blog is a bit stale, even though I really like the design.

That's just like, your opinion, man. It is clear that you don't like matte screens, but it is a far road from your preferences to universal statements like "Matte never made sense at all."

Also, screen protectors? Last time I saw one was ~1994.
It didn't work the last time I tried it.
Sure yep brainwashed. Still not running third party firmwares compiled by pseudonymous folks somewhere in the world, and still not running sideloaded modified APKs or sideloaded much of anything.

Hell, I'm not even running the assorted very functional "photo scan to pdf" apps that I purchased Pro versions of over the years because while there are some very skilled developers in Moscow and St Petersburg I have no way of checking on whose behalf they use those skills.
I think that the main difference is that unix tools are intended to work which each other. Therefore needing less line of code. As opposed on other systems.

There's been a serious entitlement problem among foss users for as long as I can remember.

Scraping contact data in what way? Letting a user trigger some requests when they're moving between sites shouldn't be a problem at all.

You need to better define the goal of your PL. If you have an exact vision of your end user and what she or he is going to use it for, it becomes easier to navigate any trade offs.
Signal travel time isn't really a significant delay in the planning cycle. What matters is waiting for orbiters to fly overhead for downlink, DSN scheduling, and the 6 to 8 hours it takes to write a typically 1 to 4 sol plan (set of commands). Also constraints of getting it done during regular work hours, ish.
So the stock markets of two of the biggest countries in the world (Russia and China) went to zero quite recently (1917 and 1949). And the author summarizes that stock markets can't go to zero? How does that make sense?

Even his closing statement contradicts itself:

So in conclusion, rest assured
that as long as you are properly
diversified, your stock investments
won’t go to zero.

If you should diversify, then that shows that each piece of your portfolio has a chance to go to zero. So the combined chance of going to zero is not zero either.

This brings up an interesting question: How high is this long-tail risk of a European investor who invests in US stocks? The risk that Europe at some point decides to seize their peoples stocks. Or that the US decides to not respect holdings by Europeans anymore.

What happened to Chinese and Russian people who held US stocks which they bought via the Chinese/Russian stock market? Did those investments got wiped out too? Did their governments seize those? Or did the remeining investors in the US had a gain from the Chinese/Russian investors "disappearing"?
Caddy has been my default choice recently: https://caddyserver.com

Among other things, it features automatic TLS via ACME and dead-simple configuration for my most common use cases: namely, serving a directory of static files and reverse-proxying to an app server.

It is written in Go, but I certainly wouldn't describe it as "cobbled together."

I'm also a fan of Traefik but it's strictly a reverse proxy, there's not even built-in support for serving static files. But it's great if you have e.g. a bunch of containers on a single host and you want to front them all with a single load balancer.

Maybe the problem is that we just don't go far enough in the high density thing. What if we all got to sleep in tiny pods 80cm wide and 100cm tall, and we hot-bunked so that in any given 8 hour shift, someone else would be sleeping in our pods. We wouldn't even need cafeterias, there could just be a bugmeal extrusion port inside these pods.

When you were in the pod during your 8 hour turn, you'd either be at work for 8 hours, or keeping physically fit on the federally mandated fitness treadmills.

We wouldn't even need streets at that point, because where would there be to go?

While we might not be able to implement this utopia immediately, it's something that all liberal progressive people should be striving for.

you should try being black in America, talking about how bogus and not fun a prison system is. America is the global leader in incarceration. prison demographics show a clearly racially biased legal system. Gonzalo Lira or Edward Snowden or Julian Assange or Michael Hastings would all be fine in Russia. This one middle rate spy badly masquerading as a journalist is as legit as bellingcat.
In all seriousness I haven't seen the idea of LLMs replacing managerial functions in a while, it would be an interesting inversion of a quasi-post-labor utopia.
> Biden was going for a Hail Mary on this one.

Not a chance. Look at the timing. He was going for driving young college educated voters to the polls for the midterms. It worked exactly as planned.

Since the Democratic Party has abandoned the working class as a whole, they rely on mobilizing the college-educated minority, which is loyal in spirit but unreliable when it comes to actually placing votes. Until something changes, the Democratic Party will drum up a new cause every 2 years (based on their available resources at the time) targeted at this demographic, and it won't always work, but it did this time.

Thanks for the link.

In my personal experience (and in the FLIR application guides) the main factor affecting paint emissivity is the glossiness (matte paint is much more emissive). I would have liked to see that test done with matte white paint, or at least have them mention that factor. From the video it was hard to tell, he said super bright Rustoleum, which isn't the same as matte. I would imagine emissivity to be more important that reflectivity given the result with aluminum (super reflective but still got super hot due to the extremely low emissivity).

I like the use of the thermocouples, but unfortunately it didn't go quite far enough...
One key point that a lot of long term preppers make is that prepping with a LITTLE extra canned food is never a bad idea. Having the pantry stocked for a month, not a week.

It isn't about the survivalist fantasy of society crumbling into pieces over night, it is the idea of being prepared for those outlier systemic failures. A power failure for a few days, a flood, short term shipping delays etc.

As an aside, one thing they like to stress the most is, the single best thing you can do to be prepped is to be in as good of health as you can manage. If something goes down and you drop dead from a stress induced heart attack, all the other stuff is pointless.
K8s doesn't support orchestrating LXC/LXD containers as far as I know. What I did was to use LXD containers as hosts/nodes for K8s. So, it was basically application containers/pods and K8s running inside system containers.

In addition, there are orchestrators which can run LXC containers (LXD is a management layer over LXC). Hashicorp Nomad is noteworthy.

Added later: K8s runs OCI containers. All OCI containers I have seen are application containers. I don't know if OCI specification supports system containers.
