Listen people, Firecracker is NOT A HYPERVISOR. A hypervisor runs right on the hardware. KVM is a hypervisor. Firecracker is a process that controls KVM. If you want to call firecracker (and QEMU, when used in conjunction with KVM) a VMM ("virtual machine monitor") I won't complain. But please please please, we need a word for what KVM and Xen are, and "hypervisor" is the best fit. Stop using that word for a user-level process like Firecracker.
Purdue paid doctors to give out Oxy like candy, a drug that they knew was incredibly addicting while selling it as non-addictive, turning regular people into addicts and when they couldn't get more Oxy they would buy substitutes on the street. They put a flame thrower on the opiod crisis while their family took out billions in profits.
Seems like you’re just happier believing that Elons a liar or whatever and the platforms on the way out than dealing with that it might be doing fine.

Personally I’ve found it funnier and more engaging than ever before while Bluesky feels already dead and Threads is just brand cringe. Twitter doesn’t feel in danger at all after seeing what the best the competition have to offer.
Yes, this is something I believe even users don't quite understand.

Certain things should be a little harder. They should require deliberate action from the user to ensure as much as possible that they are engaged with the task at hand.

Typically you'll have requests like "I just want to do X with 'one click'" and "I want to be able to delete X with 'one click'".

I hate "one click". I hate counting clicks. Counting clicks is the fucking stupidest way to measure ease of interaction. I can make everything one click away, but it will be a fucking mess of an interface because there is not enough real estate for all that mess. A children's book requires far fewer clicks to type than the works of Shakespeare, but no one will say that a children's book is "better".

And I know that comparison is a little strained, but user experience isn't just clicks either. In some ways, it is a story about your application.

Ease of discovery is far more important. Relying on things people already know. I've slowly moved away from categories for most things and have gone to just alphabetize things. I don't have to worry if something is a TV show or movie, if it's horror, comedy, or action, or if it's a TV movie taking place between two seasons of a sci-fi western drama.
Nothing you said here makes any sense at all. People are out there using 10 gigabit networking. There are benchmarks that show how slow the atom cpus are. There no power shortage. Why do you believe these ideas?

> ... And yet you take issue with me calling it a straw-man argument ...

Yes. Either you don't understand what a straw man is or it really is a language issue. Is english your native language? You completely missed my original point. And you missed the point of my response.

> We know that this is the hottest global temperature since the civilization arose

Civilization? We are talking about the 'hottest year on record'. Do you know what 'on record' means? It's only a few decades though many people mistake it to mean 'since forever'. It doesn't mean since civilization began. Also, civilization is about 5000 years old. Modern humans have been around 300,000 years. So even if it is the 'hottest' since civilization began, it really doesn't say much.

> '> While the records are based on data that only goes back to the mid-20th century'

That's my point. Do you know what that means?

> they are “almost certainly” the warmest the planet has seen over a much longer time period – “probably going back at least 100,000 years,” ...

From 'on record' to agenda driven weasel words like 'almost certainly' and 'probably'. I remember it was 'almost certainly' and 'probably' likely that the world would end due to global warming by 2020.
Remember that the federal government is still of the opinion that NYPD is disproportionately targeting black people with its stop and frisk policy, today.

That is, almost a decade after it was ruled unconstitutional in federal court. (Edit: "it" being stop & frisk as a whole, not just the targeting of minorities)
> Since there are no firm truths

that's bullshit. Classic liar's paradox and the solution is that sentence is ungrammatical in a strong sense of universal grammar ... which I can't prove, and I'm not philosopher enough to concern myself with lists of formal fallacies to make up for it

Foot was made with Wayland in mind and there are tons of alternative terminals anyway so i don't think its existence is going to inconvenience or even affect at all any Xorg users.

GTK5 might be more of an issue but so far programs barely use GTK4, let alone 5. I'm not sure GNOME applications are used much outside of GNOME. In either case i'd expect something 12to11 to work with those by then (if it doesn't already).

And TBH i'd expect there will be X compatible programs for a very long time to come.

My 4K monitor was $70 and is 15 inches so, not sure where you got that figure from.

(You're right that $400 is better though, that would get me a touchscreen OLED. Unfortunately I don't have that much money yet~)
Yup, totally repulsed by that, too. I wish they just had a paid option to remove all that crap, but noo, it's mandatory you get fed that daily. So i end up going there once a month or so, just to check on my remote friends still on FB/IG.
Of course not, that would be outragious!

Edit: Unless, of cpurse, some three letter agency front needs a non-US source to provide said data.
to my mind, this is the actually interesting psychological finding—that we, collectively, as a society, fall for this bullshit, time and time again, and we continue to reinforce societal structures that continue to let this sort of thing happen, largely without consequence.
*terms and conditions apply

If you are dealing with user-created files you should always use the *W functions as filenames are not guaranteed to be valid UTF-16 and thus might not be accessible via UTF-8 *A calls. At least until Microsoft adds WTF-8 [0] support to the *A functions. You can use WTF-8 yourself internally of course so no need for wide strings outside your platform abstraction code.

I remember the outcry when Google Glass first came out. Now ordinary cams, image datasets plus AI reveals much more than an ordinary people moving around and seeing/recording things as they are happening.

What could we uncover from the data if more cams and sensors are added to AI systems which can process real time data.

We watched Person of Interest as Sci-Fi, but it's becoming utopian considering what we possibly have now.

Heh.
Why do you think it accomplishes nothing? Benefits just from communication perspective are enough to consider single timezone.

> You still would have to figure out when people in SF wake up!

Exactly! It is argument against multiple TZs not for it.
> Mainland China is wider than contiguous US, and yet it runs on single TZ

That's because a vast majority of the country (and certainly all the politically empowered citizens) live in a much smaller span for which the single timezone is pretty accurate. It works in China by not caring about people to the West.

It must lead to some interesting language quirks around times of day. For example in the US/Canada if you say "Nobody wants to get a phone a call at 1AM" that means the same thing to anyone no matter where they're from. "I want you at your desk at 9 o'clock sharp". etc.
The only issue I have with TB search is the setting for the results presentation: why is there not a preferences option to set if the results show as list or in the current default 'verbose' view?

i have a simple question to ask here.

why does every web designer think "their font is absolutely necessary for showcasing the design language of our website and using the system fonts would be akin to sacrilege".

why doesn't everyone just use system default fonts?

aren't documents generally times new roman or arial or tahoma or something similar so why depend on an external source?
At least in Canada gas prices are available in Google Maps. IDK where this data comes from but I wonder if it is publicly available (or at least can be scraped from Google). It isn't 100% reliable but is very good, maybe 95% accurate?
> Among the researchers’ findings: Gramercy Park, in Midtown Manhattan, had the most police vehicles visible in dashcam images -- almost 20 times more than Arden Heights/Rossville, in southern Staten Island, which had the fewest.

You could argue that those areas have more crime because they have a disproportionate amount of cops to observe crime.
> The European Commission adopted a so-called adequacy decision, recognizing the U.S. as a country with sufficient protection for Europeans’ personal data that's sent there, effectively sealing the agreement.

That’s such a joke. What protections? The only protections I see are in a handful of states like California along with federal regulation for healthcare and payment data.

I wish the EU had applied more pressure to US lawmakers to come up with a national data privacy law similar to GDPR and CCPA.

All of that said, this agreement was inevitable. If data can’t be transferred between the EU and US, I don’t think it’s hyperbole to call that situation an economic disaster. The US and EU have too much commercial intermingling to have the EU actually cut off data movement to US data centers.

I can understand not exactly lining up, but considering how large the country is and how Beijing is so far east it seems like people in the west would have the sun rise at 2:00 or the sunsetting at 14:00. I don't know this for certain I'm just curious how not lined up it can get at the most extremes.
It's not even a slap on the wrist. 3M will just past the costs of this onto end-users (consumers). Their board and C-Suite won't face and personal liability claims or pay a cent towards the settlement costs, nor will they ever see the inside of a jail cell.

Corporations MUST admit liability if they actually are liable. I get that they could face a barrage of legitimate and fiscally damaging claims if they admit liability...but that's the name of the game. I'm tired of the "we're not technically liable" bullshit. You, the corporation, knowingly created a product that you know contained harmful chemicals, and didn't disclose it. Now that it's been proven that 1. you knew they were harmful, and 2. you sold it anyway, you give up all claims to limited liability. It's just mind-bogglingly dumb to claim that you're not liable. Of course you are.

I run a small business that serves an edible product. If a consumer gets sick and my product is 100% provably the culprit, I don't get to say "we're not liable" in court and dictate the terms of the settlement. If the settlement is too high, I'm out of business and ethically speaking, I'm still on the hook for damages. Why do corporations not get the same treatment?

There is, naturally, a reason for this. GPT is effectively a nice wrap on an otherwise complicated set of issues. I almost think of it as gui instead of console. Yeah, you lose some of the functionality and control, but a lot of people will take it and run with it simply because it is just so much easier.

Case in point, Google AML AI, which promises to do away with pesky model validation and such ( because it will do everything in a closed box you will not have a reason to investigate ). I am already looking forward to the conversations with regulators.
Or they proved that if you setup some people to work/live in a fake prison, they end up acting basically like all the other people who already work/live in realworld prisons. It's like having people sit in a MacDonald's for ten hours each day, then writing a paper about how subjects ate more fast food during the trial period. Breaking news: Starting a new job in Hawaii increases the likelihood that you will take up surfing.
Perhaps they are saying that it's not universal to low income areas, and that low income areas that don't have a higher proportion of Black and Latino residents don't have the increased police vehicle presence? Hard to tell based on the wording there alone.
lots of calls for a pop up confirmation. Consider colors or bolding: click flag, it becomes bold and red.
Presumably because low income white neighborhoods did not receive the same treatment. At least that's the inference I drew.
timezones don't need to perfectly predict whether the sun is up to be useful. when I set a meeting with a colleague in India, I don't really care whether the sun is up. it will almost surely be down for at least one of us. I am just trying to pick a reasonable time where they don't have to end work too late, and I don't have to start too early.

having everyone roughly align their work day to 9am-5pm in their local time works a lot better than asking every single person in my company for their working hours in UTC.
> Conversely, why is scrolling considered evil? We can agree that emails are documents. In real life, on your desk, do spread out all your documents so you could see them all at once? Or do you have a stack of them and view them one by one? You can still cross reference by putting documents side by side, just like you can with multiple emails open in separate windows or monitors.

Do you inspect your store's inventory by having one page per SKU or do you get a listing with each SKU summarised into its title?

I think the distinction here is really that some people (myself included) deal with so much email, that they need tools to deal with it in bulk, and others in this thread apparently do not. Maybe they're dealing with emails one by one as they come in, maybe they just don't get that much email.
The problem with modern capitalism is that it doesn't actually incentivise the production of value, but of monetization. News, _especially_ investigative journalism, produces value but is hard to have a moat around and monetise (this is true too of basic science). Whereas Twitter or Facebook or Reddit really don't provide much that a rival couldn't except for that fact that they already exist and people use them and the network effect is near insurmountable (Threads is not a counter argument), but because of that they are better at monetising. Solving this fundamental commons issue is what is needed because otherwise all the effort will be spent hunting for walled gardens and not actually producing value.
Why does this mention Threads of all things.... a week in we're worried about when to post on Threads? Site is DOA without any network effects from hashtags or whatever....

Hype vs. Practicality: On Realistically Achieving Quantum Advantage (2023)
Quantum Computing is a topic that makes it to the front page from time to time and garners a lot of attention. I find this breakdown of short-term prospects of from QC very concise and readable.
what bothers me most is when politicians and corporations make policies based on these junk studies

but no, we have to “trust the science”

for example, if you create a study whose results show that diversity is good in some way, you’ll get endless citations and orgs will make policies after it. even if it’s fraudulent, no one’s likely to look too deep into it. you wouldn’t be able to publish one that said the opposite. or if you did, you’d likely end your career
You know, I subscribe to the NYT but they've been pushing more and more opinion articles to the top that seem to really be about gaslighting their subscribers.

Recent example, there was a opinion piece about "how people were obsessed with the rich people in the sub but not the migrants in the mediterranean" roughly. You know, completely gaslighting the fact that the readers had zero say in the coverage decisions of the NYTimes and other outlets to run the Titan sub coverage so incessantly.

They've also were spamming basically anything as "Breaking News" for awhile that I had to block all notifications for the app.

I've generally found WaPo to be a bit more pleasant.
I really want VM's to integrate 'smarter' with the host.

For example, if I'm running 5 VM's, there is a good chance that many of the pages are identical. Not only do I want those pages to be deduplicated, but I want them to be zero-copy (ie. not deduplicated after-the-fact by some daemon).

To do that, the guest block cache needs to be integrated with the host block-cache, so that whenever some guest application tries to map data from disk, the host notices that another virtual machine has already caused this data to be loaded, so we can just map the same page of already loaded data into the VM that is asking.
Previous to the rise of the railroad, each place's time was based on solar noon. That is, when the sun was at the highest point. Which worked fine. It only became untenable when you needed to manually maintain and publish a railroad schedule. So time zones became a thing. Initially they were on a per-railroad basis, but eventually they got unified.

But now we have computers to do all the bookkeeping. So if we wanted, we could not only return to the previous approach, but take it further to infinite time zones. Your noon is whenever the sun is overhead for you. Our calendars always include locations for events, so the time difference is compensated for. Google Maps knows that if you're traveling east or west a significant distance to make it to an event, it needs to adjust the time. Etc, etc.
On average I sleep around 10 hours. I've never felt like I'm missing out, until now perhaps.
> I don't know why it is this way at my org, but the IT director does not want to talk to PMs, Devs, or Analysts. He would rather have a top level circle of senior managers who insulate him from the actual work.

To me this makes...sense. A general doesn't meet each individual field soldier, it's not feasible and doesn't scale.

Not sure what kind of firms people on here work for, but most of my managers all the way up have 0 life at all. They're constantly working dealing with millions of little details where they have to make an instant decision. It honestly looks like hell.
She was right about her book title "Rebel Talent: Why It Pays to Break the Rules at Work and in Life."

Committing fraud paid well. HBS professor salary is about $220K per year. Ten years of salary is a $2 million payoff. Big incentives to do this.

Worth a policy change by university for clawbacks of salary and especially pensions and tenure. Like insider trading she should be forced to disgorge all the profits from her fraud. Dan Ariely too.

And worth charging for criminal fraud, she defrauded her university and students. 5 years in jail seems fine.

It's time to stop pretending academics are a medieval nobles who grow faint at the idea of their sacred honor being besmirched. With huge salary opportunities for bold populist claims academics will take big risks to achieve choice jobs even if they think they will eventually be discovered.

I never heard of MediatR before today, but what do you think of message buses like IMessenger from MVVM Toolkit? https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/communitytoolkit/mv...

I've been mostly using C# for GUI applications and recently have been thinking about relying on a message bus as the main communication device between services and view models. As you mentions that complicates the flow of logic and ones loses benefits of explicitly listing your dependencies you get by just injecting all your services via constructor parameters. But that makes it simpler to refactor complex view models and services without impacting the rest of the codebase (at least in theory, it's of course often messier in practice...).
