Anyone have good (preferably open source but not required) tools for running MacVMs on a Mac? Would love a way to programmatically control MacVMs (create new from image, start, stop, etc) as part of our Mac build server setup. GitHub actions Mac CI minutes are so expensive so we run our own setup and VM level isolation seems to be the best way to keep the build processes from stepping on each other.
Ex-White House Official Says Putin's 'Fixation' on Empire Led to the War
To paraphrase that line from Batman: "Let me get this straight, you think that this market, backed by the most powerful central bank in the world and which goes up almost all of the time, is secretly a Ponzi, manipulated to serve the interests of the most powerful government in the world, and your plan is to short this market? Good luck."
My story of when bad feature flag hygiene resulted in a real technical problem is when our Redis kicked over one day. We had good monitoring so it was easy to identify the problem: network was saturated at 1 GB/s.

I traced the problem back to the fact that we had 100+ feature flags that were fully launched, but still loaded into the backend when "all feature flags" were loaded for a team. The way this was implemented returned all team IDs that had the feature flag, and the way this was done had some flags with multiple thousand IDs in them.

So 100+ flags, many with 2000+ int entries.

We ended up quickly shipping some code to mark features GA, so they wouldn't be loaded from Redis. Cut usage by 99% instantly.
There is more research on Ketamine than there is on psilocybin and MDMA, especially as a treatment for depression. And the research on psilocybin and MDMA is brutally opinionated and deceiving. It's a con that will do more damage than good.

Multiple German clinics offer Ketamine therapy. The procedures are very simple and have been pretty much perfected.

I don't have the attention to look up the links, though, sorry!

I DO NOT RECOMMEND psilocybin and MDMA to treat depression. Ketamine beats both, short-, mid- and long-term.

If you are active enough, eat enough and your psycho-social environment is more or less
fulfilling and you are still depressed for long periods, then I recommend Ketamine therapy before anything else, especially SSRIs.
Eh, it's more of a boiling the frog situation. The quality for 1080p video has gone down a LOT over the past 5 years. It's hard to notice for general-purpose videos, but speciality videos (in my case, Starcraft2 replays) with non-standard content or high complexity (some slow motion videos of chaotic systems) just immediately collapse into noise.

It's been nearly impossible to see invisible units in Starcraft2 replays on 1080p for a long time now, but that didn't used to be the case. YouTube has spent a lot on improving the compression algorithms to save money, and they've maintained 90% of the quality for most content, but the edge cases have seen 50%+ drop in visible quality. 4k completely fixes these problems and has very conservative (expensive) compression, but too many content creators still don't take advantage of that and produce only in 1080p.

When 1080p came out on YouTube, it was much, much less compressed than it is now. So they did take it away for non-premium users. They just did it slowly over a long timescale.
NPR did some reporting on this a couple years ago: https://www.npr.org/2019/07/11/739860400/broken-promises-tea...

"By the department's last count, only 1% of the people who think they've made their 10 years of payments and apply for loan forgiveness are getting approved.

If you took all the people getting rejected and got them together in one place, Peterson says, you'd have "football stadiums full of nurses, firefighters, teachers, law enforcement officers that are seeking to have their debts forgiven.""
They're also expected, in a research university, to raise a constant stream of grant money. a certain subset of academics are starting to figure out that this becomes much easier when you invest a comparative pittance in a decent wardrobe , makeup , and good lighting so as to cast your research net extremely wide into populous rhetoric, Ted talks etc. The effort to reward ratio is fantastic as it invariably results in being contacted after your show, and it is a show, by people who have access to public outreach funds but very little understanding of the field nor your place in it, but want to be attached to whatever momentum you have and we'll throw money at you.

This is multiplied several-fold when you are doing this populist intellectual dinner talk circuit in one of several countries whose elite are anxious to establish (or regain) their own scientific prestige on the world academic stage and will throw unbelievable amounts of money at the most brittle and flimsy proposals so long as there is an R1 institution attached.
Probably all of them on average then, but especially big groups, core, and erector muscles. Most humans who have to hit the gym in order to stay fit spend too much time sedentary. They need back and core strength to prevent back issues later in life, glute, hamstring, quad and calf to keep legs strong and mitigate knees doing weird things.

Most of aforementioned humans also likely need to move heavy objects from time to time without throwing out their back.

I read once that deadlifts are the single best exercise you can do for desk bod. If I only have 10 minutes to work out, I do deadlifts. Next I try to get abs, obliques, back stabilizers, etc., then some squats and leg work. I do chin/pull/push ups between the core and leg stuff.
Yes, but NDAs are not automatic and are too cumbersome to protect people in anything but the most formal, pre-planned, and equitable situations.

There are many scenarios where people deserve these protections and NDAs wouldn't be possible or practical. For instance:

* An artist improvising in public

* Someone sharing with another party in a situation with a large power imbalance (and so they refuse to sign an NDA with anyone)

* Someone sharing in a social situation where NDAs are not practical (romantic, familial, or personal relationships)
Yes, though the high quality cotton used in Japan can be quite expensive (we had a lot of cotton from old futons at our home, we had to throw a lot away to make room. That stuff was very expensive when those futons were (hand-)made).

The thing about wool is that it insulates even when it's damp, while cotton simply collapses as far as insulation is concerned unless it's completely dry.
> In most cases watching 2k or 4k even on a 1080p monitor will result in better quality

Completely agree and its been super annoying to me that 1080p was compressed so dang aggressively in the past few years.

> What he replied is that he couldn't block the script alone if he was serving it from the same domain, so I proposed to move it to a subdomain, and he was fine with that. I have been lucky.

Doubly so, since hosting the tracking script on the same domain as your website was a decision that was inevitably going to come back to haunt you at some point.
Almost everything is oversubscribed in our world.

Malloc will happily “return” the 15 TiB you asked for.

If 10000 people called 911 at the same time, only a tiny fraction would get through (and even fewer would get help).

Evacuating a large city by road would result in giant traffic jams.

There are 5-8x as many parking spots as there are cars (and we still can’t find a goddamn spot).

And of course… the great toilet paper shortage of 2020.
True. But to take and distribute freely somebody's copyrighted material is essentially taking all the value out of the material. Some similar in that way.
One point, I would be curious what the numbers would look like if you subtract immigrants from the US figures (since Japan has effectively no immigration).

Stepping back... having higher "productivity" or "GDP growth" does not make a cut-and-dry "winner". Everything is a trade-off.
"...we should not continue to normalise maximally disruptive acts of protest by tiny groups."

In this case the argument works both ways.
I have pretty much exactly the same experience.

However, I do feel that they are trying to really do the right thing with the new 3.0 architecture, addressing the deficiencies (most importantly performance and full-fledged SQL) while keeping the stuff that works (InfluxQL for simple and legacy queries). Also leveraging open-source projects and contributing to their upstream is a plus. Thus I’m hoping for them to succeed delivering on that promise.
Are they being barred from collection/sale in other states?

No, tuition rates at some schools are absurd. Max Pell Grant is enough to cover tuition at the three universities closest to me.
> Mastodon doesn't protect user data in any meaningful way

That may be true (yes, I've seen Bloonface's essay on this), but it doesn't mean that Threads will be federated with the rest of Mastodon, i.e. allowing user interaction across instances, threads content showing up on other mastodon user's feeds and vice versa. Blocking that is what "defederated" means.

Of course, it’s credit. The word “new” is redundant.
Thanks. Yes, we're squarely on the same page.

I think I misrepresented myself. I don't expect anything from anyone, in any setting, or I don't intend to change anyone. Who am I to expect to change someone?

I just wanted to say that, I behave the way which I want to be treated. I ask myself, "what would I feel if that's done to me", and if I don't like the answer, I change myself, and try to better myself step by step.

Actually "The Four Agreements" by Don Miguel Ruiz sums up pretty well how I live this life. It's a surprisingly thin yet dense book. I recommend it wholeheartedly.

Looks like we try to do the same things with slightly different methodologies. My hat's off to you dear sage internet stranger.

how can you take this TLD seriously? .lol?

If you're building a business around tracking people, then you should expect adblockers will block the domain with the tracker on it. You should treat it like an ephemeral domain and anticipate you'll need to rotate it at some point if you're playing cat-and-mouse with the ad blockers. If you don't want your landing page blocked too, then don't put it on the same domain.

Better yet, shut down the business and work on building something that's a positive contribution to society.
This is why I’m 100% sure we’re headed towards another real estate meltdown sooner or later. Real estate prices and rates have skyrocketed. The number of people who could afford 500k mortgages at 3% is much higher than people who can afford 750k mortgages at 7%.

But lenders aren’t going to suddenly go from approving 100 loans a month to just 10 a month. The incentive structures are designed to weasel and lie to pump out flattering bottomlines every quarter.

You can trot out the statistics but you can’t change human behavior without changing the incentives.
No, there are many copyrighted works which are not a part of culture, by definition. For example, private creative works.
If there are fewer total cars, how can ownership not also go down?
The government taking credit risk into account would have such regressive results it would be hilarious. The cost of college would dramatically plunge for kids from rich families taking CS and finance classes and skyrocket for everyone else
Yeah that's what I assume. I never answer them either. The only calls I get from Idaho are people I already know and are in my contacts.
> Really? Since when has making using something more convenient reduced ownership of it?

These will be more convenient, but also dramatically more expensive, and _that_ certainly reduces the ownership of things.

> the mean number of cars on the road at any given time would seem like it would only go up

That's orthogonal to the question of level of ownership -- these can both be true simultaneously.

And it may even be the case that the number of cars on the road goes down. The idea would be that if these services are convenient enough for more people to forego owning their own vehicle in favor of using a fleet, the economics on a per-trip basis would change: now, for car owners, owning a car has a high fixed cost and very low marginal cost per trip, so once you've bought the car, registered it, insured it, etc., you're incentivized to use it for as many trips as possible to recoup your investment. Using a fleet service, you would have low/no fixed costs and comparatively higher per-trip costs, meaning that for some trips, it might be cheaper to take transit, bikeshare, etc. A lot would come down to the specifics of pricing, though, so it's hard to predict with any certainty.

I'm an ideal system yes. But I'm fat so if I don't have my tires well or over inflated they're almost flat at most speeds on a road bike where you might be just on the ideal edge. So rolling resistance will be worse for me than I due to energy lost folding and unfolding the tire

Home-manager has a lot of options for configuring packages available through it though. You have to manually write config files in your global configuration.nix for “what color should be the fg in this terminal”, while home-manager will provide an attribute even for that.

Also, you can use home-manager from within your configuration.nix, that’s how I use it! Then you don’t have to deal with it separately and everything is at one place.
Having DNA as a storage medium is the best way to store actual biological data. Currently, we do things like having seedbanks, which need periodic replacing as seeds grow to be nonviable. A library of genomes is a much smaller physical footprint than a seedbank. It doesn't need periodic replacing, provided its not getting bombarded by radiation or anything unusual like that. DNA doesn't even have to be stored frozen; you can freeze dry it and store it at room temp for a very long time before any significant degradation. You can also just have the sequence stored digitally, and synthetically build out the dna molecule as you need it (I think this is still pretty costly though and not that efficient). With the right molecular biological tooling, one could conceivably introduce these genomes into a plant cell line and grow them up in tissue culture, you don't have to for example grow a tree and let it mature and go to seed since plant cells are pluripotent, everything can be done in a lab much faster.
Chesapeake Light Craft is a great source for supplies and ready to build kits: https://clcboats.com
I can definitely buy this argument, but mine was about the mechanisms already existing and how the OP's comment about a policy change is needed. I think your comment just adds to this, that even if the mechanism exists that it isn't being utilized. Which results in also negating the utility of such a policy.

As to your other comments and blog, I'm well aware. And if I may add some constructive criticism, if you want to call something pixelwise identical, it helps to show a differencing map. It just makes the claim substantially stronger and clearer, especially since there's a lot of additional factors that can change pixels, making the likelihood of a match even lower. These are things that wouldn't be possible by their explanation, whereas human interpretation is more subjective (it'll be a bit messier than this though). Though even low differences are still pretty damning.

> with the known nature of how to scientifically answer questions.

I think this is a bit naive though. Generally in science we rule things out, not rule in. That's why I'd be hard pressed to say that we have a "known nature of how to scientifically answer questions" because "scientifically" is doing a lot of heavy lifting and is fuzzy. Essentially "there's wrong ways to do science, but not a clear 'right way.'" Obviously faking data isn't okay nor is just doing something and calling it an experiment. Rigor is necessary but what constitutes sufficient rigor is dependent on the strength of the claims and thus the uncertainty of those claims. A big issue we face is that we take empirical results as equivalent to analytically derived theoretical models combined with experimental results. i.e. Physics develops a theoretical mathematical model and tests experiments against that whereas {psych,medicine,ML} make a non-mathematical hypothesis and report results. The problem with the latter is that it is harder to capture uncertainty because it isn't as strictly bounded. But it is still science, and the reason this is done is because the models are likely intractable (if not provably so). But that's why Asimov wrote about the Relativity of Wrong, rather than the precise way in which we can exactly do science. In fact, if the latter was true, we'd program machines to do it. Just a bit more nuanced.
Agreed, but they're forgoing college because they better opportunities without acquiring the traditional credential(s) due to a tight labor market, demographics and older folks retiring making trades and non college paths more lucrative, etc. The debt load is not worth the potential opportunity benefit.

The whole "get a college degree if you want to be middle class" scam is evaporating, which results in your observation.

I got a Discover and a Citi Mastercard.

The students working in the mail-room of my dorm were ... less than meticulous about sorting. My bills occasionally went to the wrong box, leaving insufficient time for me feel safe that my payment would arrive on time. When this happened with Discover, I just called customer service and they said they'd waive the late-fee since I called in advance. It happened once with Citi, I called and they said I would have to do an electronic payment with a $10 service charge. paid the bill and immediately canceled the Citi card.

Guess which (of Discover and Citi) I'm a lifetime customer of, and which one I will never sign up for again.

P.S.

After re-reading the above, it strikes me how much of a "period piece" the comment is. The bill arrived in the mail, I had to mail in payment, and I spoke with a person on the phone when I called the credit card company.
>What advantages do you see to keeping a large number of tabs open at a time? Do you find that you return to them?

I edited my comment to expand a little on that. Adding to it, tabs for me are a crude thinking tool. I usually open links as new tabs so I can see how my search for information has branched out. The practice is unwieldy and results in my browser being the highest consumer of system resources, but at least I can see how I came to research a particular thing. It's more insightful than browser history, which only tells a linear story. Browsers these days will also try to direct you to open tabs if you type something similar in a search bar, which can be interesting for connecting previous inquiries with new ones.

I should dive into the Next browser. Apparently it has a tree-based history, which might be an efficient solution for my needs: https://nyxt.atlas.engineer/
> That's how it's often presented, but this is wrong. In fact, it does add something to the theory, and that's a measure of how many "worlds" there are after a quantum measurement, which helps translate the wave function values into testable probabilities (the Born rule).

The distribution of worlds/branches is determined by the wave function. A more likely outcome means there are many more worlds with that outcome. You can calculate the percentage of worlds that have that outcome.

> Also, the MWI has to somehow define a formal notion of an observer/a classical world, which runs into questions of scale just as much as the measurement postulate of CI.

Measurement, observer and classical shouldn't be part of a physical theory. The answer as to why things appear that way to us is decoherence.
> You can search across tabs using the tab search in the top right corner though (an arrow pointing down).

Which uses the same broken stuff, so you can't actually search. Check this ticket: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1479858

Btw, the arrow icon cannot be moved from the tabs bar, annoying because I completely hide this bar, but sometimes it would be useful to have this menu.

>The balance in your favour might keep increasing with the borrower totally screwed, but that doesn't really help you if nothing is being paid.

The secret is to lend money and then make people spend it on something worthless. You know, the easiest way is to lend someone money so they can gamble the money away. You might now argue that this is terrible for the lender, but only if the lender doesn't own the casino. Then the gambler ends up in massive debt for no benefit. It doesn't matter if the borrower repays the loan or not because the lender didn't lose a single penny and every payment results in profit.

This is just a hypothesis because I am not aware of any banks or financial institutions operating an educational institution, except maybe lambda school which was heavily incentivized to get people to sign up for income sharing agreements but then only deliver some low quality MOOCs with the only source of support being TAs who themselves are former lambda school graduates.
