I don’t think it’s the abstraction, I think it’s the perceived lack of usefulness. I’ve known many individuals who are bad at math but can understand the abstraction of most programming constructs. I think it’s mainly because the pay off of learning programming has a higher immediate value (it can be used for a variety of tasks and can even help score a high paying job).
I understand all of that. None of that disagrees with what I have said.

I think we're talking past each other. In a practical sense I agree the two filesystems achieve an essentially identical result through very similar methods, as you have said.

I am making a point specifically about the details of the implementation logic of the two filesystems. Bcachefs (as I understand it) combines multiple smaller blocks into a larger extent. ZFS only has one raw record and its corresponding on-disk compressed record, whose size is rounded up to ashift.
Some helpful resources to consider are "Computer Networking: A Top-Down Approach" by Kurose and Ross (book), "Network Chuck" and "Network Direction" (blogs), and "FreeCodeCamp" and "Cisco Networking" (GitHub repos). These should provide valuable guidance and help you navigate the subject more effectively.
I'm talking about the city, not the brewing scene. The brewery is a staple of the city and it is a shame to see it shutter in such a fashion. Looking at the rest of the scene and not what the brewery represents is intentionally missing the point of what I was trying to say. The city is being dismantled, bit by bit, being replaced with facsimiles of what people think San Francisco is supposed to be instead of letting the city be.
I think it's as simple as "hey, there's a thing going around the Internet, lets do the thing"
I don't know about if people "liked" marrying in order to have financial support.

My point was just that marrying someone to financially support you used to be culturally accepted, maybe even expected, and now it is less so.

Especially since most marriages can't afford to keep the household on a single income anymore anyways.

Whoever come up with the idea of "God", a grand genius master architect, clearly had no understanding of how unbelievably shitty the engineering of living organisms is. I really cannot emphasize enough how poorly designed our bodies are. A physical manifestation of uncommented, heavily obfuscated, spaghetti code that's only viewable and editable in binary. And every "program" (human) is different and unique.

Yes, living things are amazing, but any designer approaching even basic levels competence factors in repairability and serviceability.

So all that is to say: It's crazy complex and any single thing is liable to have myriad first order, second order, third order...30th order negative effects.
I’m one of the devs at PostgresML, and this is a writeup on how we generate JavaScript and Python SDKs from our canonical Rust SDK.

It was a really fun problem to work on and hopefully provides an interesting read. Let us know if you have any questions, or what languages you want implemented next!
If you have personal information you do not wish bad actors to see, do not publish it using an open protocol explicitly designed to allow anyone to read said information.

Defederating from Meta as a solution is stupid - Meta can (and will if they actually care enough) just rejoin undercover.

Furthermore, when it comes to the fediverse, Meta is actually one of the more trusted actors compared to whatever else is on there - at least they're a known legal entity instead of some random.

Finally, the fact that publishing private information publicly on the fediverse wasn't considered an issue before Meta came along shows just how irrelevant the whole thing is - the data has been public all this time, but the network is so irrelevant that not even bad actors cared enough to actually scrape it (or at least do anything with it).
Interesting. Glad I don't have a prostate then! :)
If you give into your temptation, you will watch a show with possibly greatest villains ever created on the screen.
If you are not worried about the financial impact, then definitely do it!

It will be hard, as anything that is worth it is.

The experience and learning will pay itself back for whatever comes after should it not pan out. This will be more true if you spend more time learning how to "sell" the project (sell as in promote, gain users, and/or make money). The non-technical upskilling will teach you more.

I've been working on my side project for many years, trying to make it the primary project. I consult and contract to pay the bills. It can be difficult, but if you believe in the idea, you will push through. One thing to be wary of is that it is easy to get distracted and work on the wrong things. Motivation and focus will be a struggle, which in itself is a growing experience.
yes, I'm happily making that choice. it is the only sane choice.

if you really think the kingdom can be neatly divided into wolverines, nuthatches, and happy people on one side, and "honorable" people on the other side, you do you. aren't you amazed that an animal like me can argue with you though?
I don't think anyone who is willing to look with an open mind on the Ukraine war believe that the aid is primarily to help Ukrainians. It seems pretty clear that the defence industry (what a weasel word! The war industry!) is the primary reason together with hurting Russia. I'm sure civilian Ukrainians are on the list somewhere way down, but I wouldn't want to read it, looking for them while holding my breath!

I think it's beneficial when you want code that is easier to reason about, test, and maintain. It excels in scenarios where immutability and side-effect-free functions are crucial, such as concurrent programming and building highly scalable systems.

@drBonkers, you're correct about multi-column resume not to be the best option. although I've used the resume generated from NovoResume to get into multiple big tech companies and startups, I agree that a better template is the one from Google Docs --> Resume template. I've updated the post and replace NovoResume with Google Doc resume template. thanks for the note.
The number of Mac metal games is about the same as the number of Mac OpenGL games. Which is to say minuscule like you said, but all that shows is that it’s not about the APIs or we’d see Unity/Unreal games a plenty.

It’s just down to market share. Time to first pixel still matters for off the shelf engine based games because devs need to get over the hump of building it etc let alone consider all the possible hypotheticals of how it works, even before they get to APIs.

Game porting toolkit solves that. It’s not meant as a general purpose translator , just to get people over that hump

And again it’s just down to market share. There are plenty of AAA games on iOS that use the same engines as PC games without having Mac versions. Take the Call of Duty games for iOS. Why wasn’t there prevalent CoD on macOS?

All that proves to me is that APIs aren’t the primary reason.
That blame still appropriately lies with maladaptive behaviors learned from Windows. The only way to completely stop users being susceptible to the "attack" of them phrasing their desires as web searches and then blindly following whatever malicious instructions come up is to fully remove administrator privileges and lock them out of "their" computers. But doing this at the level of the OS producer is utterly at odds with the foundation of a free and open society.

The incremental way to solve this problem is through various rules based around users engaging with details of the OS. One very simple one of these is "only install software through the system package manager". If users violate those rules, short of the above "solution", there is literally nothing that can be done to help them.
Great! Let me know what resources I should read up on.
Windows didn't need to evolve into being the king of malware. It was insecure by design. Whenever you hear a ransomware or virus story on the news you can rest assured that Windows was involved. It's malware superstar.
oh most definitely. you break the laws you can afford to and you repeal the ones you can't.
Isnt this a core way that ActivityPub works though? Like this isn't a Meta issue. It is the technical functionality of the protocol these federated services are built on. If you transmit data using the AP protocol, your content isnt private.

I'm entirely serious. Indy V was ok (went in with low expectations, and the movie exceeded them). But MI7 I'm really looking forward to. Best franchise currently out there, the RottenTomatoes scores for the last few ones (and the new one) are all 90%+ from critics and audience alike!
Servers have much fewer attack vectors.

Do you really think that a typical scenario of Windows infection is some kind of RCE in the OS? No, that's extremely rare.

Most of malware doesn't exploit any vulnerabilities in the OS. Either a user downloads and runs an infected executable, or they get infected through a bug somewhere in userland (e.g. web browser or image viewer).
I love love love the concept of federated social media. The onboarding experience though. Just signed up at pixelfed.social, installed the Android app, try to log in and ... nothing happens?!? No error, nothing.
Twitter has a built in notification system. People can subscribe to get alerts from it. Theoretically people can do that with RSS but, let's be honest, most people don't use RSS. I saw in another comment that they do have an RSS feed though if that's your cup of tea
The Barbie movie had one of the best marketing campaigns I have ever seen dating back to the initial announcements. But I think they lost the plot with this contrived connection to Oppenheimer. It feels forced and kind of turns me off to both movies. I try to be a good sport and enjoy the whole marketing production for these kind of cultural events (meaning the Barbie movie), but then they come in hot with this absurd upsell and it just rubs me wrong.
I've gotten some complements for my resume's layout and it's basically the exact opposite of that.

The number of actual Nazis, Italian Fascists, and Japanese fascists that ascended to power after WWII by leveraging the US's and UK's fear of communists is quite staggering. A quick review of the far-right regimes the US and UK supported throughout the Cold War backs this up.

I think there's a case to be made that if Hitler wasn't specifically going after the UK's sphere of influence, and if Japan had not attacked the US at Pearl Harbor, the pro-fascist elements in each the US and UK might well have forestalled WWII entirely. Considering how the Holocaust and the Rape of Nanking went, it's unsettling to think that neither of those were cassus belli for what we understand to be the good guys during that war.

All of that to say, banning the commemoration of Shaft is unsurprising in the extreme if you know anything about the frequent infernal deals that happened during the Cold War.
> Sure, but we’ve already done this several times in our major cities, and it hasn’t killed demand.

Not over an afternoon. Housing prices haven’t grown in a vacuum, massive increases in productivity and population over time feed back into peoples ability to pay for things. Beachfront vacation homes have also become vastly more expensive for related reasons, but that obviously gets less press than peoples primary residences.

Most things are priced based on what it costs to create them, other stuff is based on how much people can afford. Urban housing has entered the second category and it’s going to take a lot more than minor interest rate changes to reverse this trend.

Apple headcount has increased from 37k in 2010 to 164k in 2022. Are you saying they only hire managers externally, they have dozens of reports per manager, or they prefer to push median employees into management instead of the best?
Having fast C++ code is always good even if its not directly responsible for execution, but yes typically order entry and trade parsing at really serious HFT firms is done with an FPGA/ASIC. Sometimes a trade packet wont even hit the software and instead be processed entirely on the FPGA.

Some neat tricks people have done is to actually process packet bytes in order as they come in on the FPGA, and if it has some actionable header they just send an action before the entire trade packet is received. With that you can go down into the few ns for your w2w latency.
The reason to double them is specifically the stark contrast between the two. As the gen-zs would say, "for the meme."
Yep. I didn't read the Wikipedia article, but, AFAIK, there used to be more non-market or co-op housing in Canada where the cost of rent, etc. was tied to the actual costs instead of what the market will bear. That acted as a check on runaway greed since it gave people a good comparable (at least for rent) that was based on fair value rather than maximizing profit.
Same reason Oppenheimer is: because of who is making it. Like, otherwise why would I care to see a biopic about a guy from 70-80 years ago in the theater?

No, the point is to look like a good candidate who won’t start a Slack pronoun campaign while delivering garbage code. For some companies, that outward presentation of identity and politics will be a deterrent. Do that stuff on your own time.

My advice is how to get a job when you need one.
But the fundamental difference here is that most people buying SBCs are treating them as self-contained COTS compute modules.

As someone that has worked with these EVKs for decades, you never treated them as part of your final product. But with the advent of Beagle and RPI, that's where we are now.

But when you buy an RPi or Beaglebone as the core of your industrial smelter and expect support for that module comparable to, say, a module from Kontron? You're going to be disappointed.

My statement still stands. If you ask me to do hard drugs with you, I will say no. Does that mean I value my physical and mental integrity over our friendship? YES! I absolutely do.

It is perfectly fine to value certain things over friendship. You just have to be conscious of the friction that your convictions will cause and ask yourself whether it's worth it for you. Health is worth it. Chat apps? I don't know. If you ask me to use Signal, that seems reasonable enough and I'll do it, but if we're a group of 10 coordinating over Whatsapp and you want me to tell you whenever plans are being made, it's like, OK, but I'm doing the effort for our personal convos, can't you meet me halfway or something? That's the kind of friction you're going to deal with. Up to you.

Curation happens all the time in commodities. Tomatoes are clearly a commodity, but blemished or misshapen tomatoes (a purely aesthetic concern) are often worth far less and may even be discarded. Much of this process is done by hand (I've done it).

Corn is a commodity too, but I buy my sweet corn exclusively from one of a few vendors growing varietals that I enjoy more than what I can get at a super market (the varietal can be sold on the futures markets).

One definition of a commodity is:

> a mass-produced unspecialized product

My claim is that most lo-fi hip hop (and other genres) really looks like it fits this definition. The songs are produced in their thousands and have differences in the same way honeycrisp apples have slightly different colors and sizes, but ultimately are interchangeable.

Any further than this feels like it's nitpicking at technical details. I cannot tell the difference between lo-fi hop hop playlist A and lo-fi hip hop playlist B because the differences in the songs are not meaningful to me.

The "looking for job" process was wearing for me until my friend told me a secret. Companies only give you two signals: 1) "we love you!" and 2) ghosting. Sometimes replies take a few days, which makes the two signals ambiguous.

Recently a company said "no thanks", which is nice of them -- they responded. However, they also said "we'd like to talk to you!". Perhaps they have other roles for which I'm a better fit?

You can lock down your computer and keep it a computer. For an example look at the work going on with Fedora Silverblue [1] where you have an immutable OS install and use containers and flatpaks for everything. It is coming along nicely with side projects to allow for customization via Dockerfiles [2].

> What is moral and what is legal are different.

I understand and agree with that.

"Having moral flexibility helps so much. Being actively willing to "fuck over" arbitrary, faceless entities makes all the difference. If you start looking at the law in terms of "how much does it cost to do whatever I want", then you are now effectively playing by the same rules as those who seek to control your life."

This clearly advocates no honor at all. It is not dishonorable to not follow an unjust law (such as a law requiring you to inform on your neighbors), but it is dishonorable to be a cheater because others are cheating.
That depends, something like this 'GMKTec'[1] is Intel, and not really any bigger than an RPi 4 in a case? Obviously you can get smaller with an RPi Zero W, but in a case it'd still be half as big.

> After reading all of the 1,000 replies by the user, the human then made
the assignment based on the following criteria: (1) “Did the user’s replies entirely, or almost entirely support one candidate?”; (2) “Did the user’s posts generally contain claims to support their arguments?”; and (3) “Did the user explicitly mention a tie to any campaign?”

If they can't see why these criteria are nonsensical then their entire premise should be discarded.
I think the idea is “BAR” is the opposite of “FOO”, it doesn’t actually stand for anything, it’s just “bar” jobs you actually want, rather than “foo” experience you list in your resume.
>Mastodon (and most other fediverse software) wasn't designed with privacy and user safety in mind

this is the real problem. Mastodon and lemmy share way more information than they actually need to (like lemmy shares a list of usernames who upvoted or downvoted a post, not just a count), and if you're using one of those services you should expect that all your data and interactions are public. that's the actual threat here, not the possibility that facebook might suck up that data. Blocking Threads from federating is just a short-term patch over mastodon's bad privacy controls.
I will acknowledge that and I do think it sucks. Even when learning kotlin, what bothered me the most was the IDE and the other tedious tools needed (maven, gradle, etc.). Why can't I have something like rustup that just gets the newest kotlinc for me?
So I think it's a valid point you're making although I was able to get used to the ecosystem over time.
Sort of...

I would describe it as closer to an alternative to hand rolling js, using JQuery, or older templating libraries like Knockout.

Where its at its best is with server rendered frameworks like Django, Laravel, or plane old hand rolled CGI. You can sprinkle in some Alpine with no build steps. It works particularly well with HTMX.

I wouldn't call it a React alternative because there are places where React (or Vue, or Svelt...) are better placed. But there are places they are overkill and it slots in perfectly.

Alpine borrows quite heavily from Vue, it has a very similar template DSL, and uses its reactivity subsystem (I personally think this is very well designed and makes Vue 3 an incredibly good app platform).

I also believe the new Laravel Livewire just released is built on top of Alpine, they are from the same developer.

If I'm doing server side rendering and need to sprinkle in some client side interactivity Alpine is what I reach for.

(You could describe any client side templating system as a React alternative)
