At CodeSandbox we use Firecracker for hosting development environments, and I agree with the points. Though I don't think that means you should not use Firecracker for running long-lived workloads.

We reclaim memory with a memory balloon device, for the disk trimming we discard (& compress) the disk, and for i/o speed we use io_uring (which we only use for scratch disks, the project disks are network disks).

It's a tradeoff. It's more work and does require custom implementations. For us that made sense, because in return we get a lightweight VMM that we can more easily extend with functionality like memory snapshotting and live VM cloning [1][2].

Dark Skies. It was x-files if set in the 1960s. But as it used music from the time, the classic music licenses have since expired and nobody is willing to pay enough to renew them.
A little bird told me that it was easier to break up big projects into classes and farm them out than in other languages at the time. The `protected` keyword for example prevented the other developer(s) from modifying that part of the object, creating safety.
For wireless VR stuff, it's usually 25-40ms range. I believe the encoder hardware is the bottleneck at this point. New Quest 3 is supposed to have better hardware accelerators.

In Sweden, it's not. I do think that it's reasonable to have certain expectations about what can be spread about you as a private person, regardless if the things said are true or not.
I'd like to see a new funding model for universities.

I'd like to see universities be able to register for a share of tax revenue from their students post-graduation.

For example "This course costs 5% extra income tax for 20 years".

Then, you pay nothing for the course, but after you graduate you pay a 5% higher tax rate, and that extra money goes to the university. The IRS would administer the scheme since they already have to do all the math anyway for every taxpayer.

This gives the university a strong incentive to make sure their students are productive. They'll help push students into studying finance rather than 'soccer studies'.

Obviously the university needs money now, not in 20 years, but private lenders can help cover that gap (and then the lender also has an incentive to make sure the university is doing a good job educating students).
Hey thanks, I'll have to check the rest of these guys out
Yep, UX is a terrible issue. FWIW, I went through this too and after swapping to flakes and getting familiar with the ecosystem, I feel like I just "get it" more. There are still idiosyncracies of the language and the magic that is done in Nix core libraries that are frustrating to work through, but for 99% of daily tasks I feel better. I had a similar learning curve with Rust. It's worth it for me! So tl;dr don't be too put off by the learning curve, it's not impossible, just more than it should be.
If you think that OOP advocates can't decide on what OOP is, don't look too hard at the FP side of the world. :D

Same goes for evidence based ideas. Odds are stupid high that you cannot find a single large scale codebase that has succeeded using any "pure" technique. Heck, I'd take small scale codebase for a fun thing to look at, at this point. Make performance a requirement, and really get ready for tears.
Doesn't this point to a fundamental problem with our economic systems? It is only going to get worse over time as more jobs can be automated. I also don't think that most people would choose to do "work".

I had to look up the numbers for Germany but they're around the same around the world, sometimes worse.

I live in Japan which also boasts a very high high recycling rate, but the vast majority of the plastic just gets incinerated. Here whenever it comes up in the news, they claim that since different types of waste needs to be burnt at different temperatures, it's still worth it since it makes the incineration (which is used to generate heat or electricity) more efficient.
Sure, but there is such a thing as peer pressure.

The fact you are telling me this let me think you are coming from a theoretical perspective, but that you have not, in fact, managed such people yourself.

Honestly, I don't miss physical media at all. Downloaded and streamed media is so much more convenient. Everything is neatly categorized and just a search away. In the case of streaming music, I now have nearly every song I could ask for.

This is nothing short of incredible compared to only listening to the CDs I could afford to buy or hoping that my favorite song would randomly play on the radio after the commercial break was over and the DJ finally shut up.
They still should have at the very least done a backup of each customer DB in those regions and created an option to download and/or restore to a new region and kept those for at least 30-90 days.

They're not hiding it to any extent. It's a big blog that has hundreds of posts. Many blogs refer to authors by their first name if they expect their readers to know them, or easily find them.

These are meaningless weasel words. It sounds like you wrote the post first, then belatedly realized the authors aren't hiding their names at all, but wanted to keep your post.
I would disagree that 31K is not a lot of money, but then again, maybe it is not a lot of money and my opinion is warped. I think if the government took a few points off for performance as a preferred return on the massive endowments, all of this would go away.
It's kind of weird that these turn into bookmarks and are mixed in with your bookmarks.

> Accident investigations intentionally do not apply blame.

Yeah they do and pilot error is very common:

> During 2004 in the United States, pilot error was listed as the primary cause of 78.6% of fatal general aviation accidents, and as the primary cause of 75.5% of general aviation accidents overall.[27] For scheduled air transport, pilot error typically accounts for just over half of worldwide accidents with a known cause

They can try to address that through training, certification, recertification and updates to manuals and checklists, but at some point some level of human failure is going to be inevitable. And with UI/UX like this there isn't much ability to do that, since people don't get certified on using GitHub.

Meanwhile, it is going to be very difficult to break people who are stuck on "autopilot" and just aren't reading anything out of it vi any kinds of dialogs or messages. Gonna delete 8,000,000 stars on this project? Good. Oh wait. Whoops. I'd like to see if the change to the UX to show that information has made any actual measurable impact on the accidental deletion incidents that GH sees.

There isn't any good substitute for just learning early that if you are going to delete something you need to stop, think, read and wait a second before hitting that button. Trying to fashion a world where people can navigate it successfully on completely thoughtless autopilot all the time isn't possible.

Also, that blog post is irritating because "Lesson #1" should have been for the author to STOP AND THINK when deleting or presented with a scary modal dialog box that actions were going to be permanent. My reading of that blog post is that the author didn't actually accept any blame, didn't see any need to change any of their behavior and shifted it all onto GH. It is equivalent to a non-apology-apology.
>the other half is student debt relief programs

...which student debt relief programs?

Afaik there are no widely used student debt relief programs.
In other words, the government gave the leaders license to do "predatory".

It used to be every tech-savvy person had their own PhpBB instance and built small communities with that. All that has largely migrated to Discord, Reddit, Facebook Groups, and to a lesser extent: Lemmy & Mastodon. There's also quite niche and bespoke communities like Subreply[0], Tildes[1], and Raddle[2] (Built with Postmill). I prefer the Reddit style Karma system over the 'Micro-blogging' system.

No no don't let the Physician cartel get out of this.

Year over year they get at least 5% pay increases with US tax dollars. Not to mention, they get private pay increases by weaponizing the ACGME to keep residency slots low.

Residency does not need to be paid. Outside of the Medical industry, people pay for their college. For some reason Physicians make tax payers pay for their education and a decent salary.

I wonder why University Presidents/ Top Administrators get so much less flak from politicians compared to CEOs, while probably making decisions that further increase the University "profits" all while many make $1mil/year+.
Good faith reading is that he means its risk free to the school, because they get paid up front even if the student doesn't graduate, much less earn enough to pay back his loan.

> But when they tried to quantize gravity, they ran into unnatural infinities that had to be sidestepped with clumsy mathematical tricks.

Maybe they run into unnatural infinities because all of our formalisms in physics are still fundamentally continuous rather than discrete. Uncountable infinities are baked right into the foundations of how we use reason about these systems, so infinities will naturally result. Physics has repeatedly had to tame infinities by elaborate tricks, or by eliminating them entirely [1].

Some people are increasingly looking to discrete formalisms, and I think this is a promising way forward, both for mathematics and physics.

If Google says they'll delist your site if they detect AI generated content that you haven't declared, that's also a you problem (you meaning webmasters). It's a bit silly to think that it's a purely one way relationship. You're more than welcome to block Google from indexing your site (trivially!) and they're welcome to not include you in their service for not following their guidelines.
So, reading section 3.2.1, which details the legal basis for collection under national security purposes, all of it seems to hang on EO 14086, which "replaces Presidential Policy Directive (PPD-28) to a large extent, strengthens the conditions, limitations and safeguards that apply to all signals intelligence activities (i.e. on the basis of FISA and EO 12333), regardless of where they take place, and establishes a new redress mechanism through which these safeguards can be invoked and enforced by individuals (see in more detail
recitals 176-194). In doing so, it implements in U.S. law the outcome of the talks that took place between the EU and U.S. following the invalidation of the Commission’s adequacy decision on the Privacy Shield by the Court of Justice (see recital 6). It is, therefore, a particularly important element of the legal framework assessed in this Decision."

A short check tells me that any current or future president can revoke an executive order at any time. So, the commissions decision in regards to FISA (which this is mainly about) hangs on Bidens word that neither he nor one of his successors will change it? Yeah ... I don't see how that's gonna fly with the EUCJ.

(The article also stated it, but I wanted to check in the original documents if that's really all they base their "all is good with FISA now" decision on)
Common sense is often wrong. I haven't found any reliable source yet that even mentions the availability government loans as being a driving factor. Based on the limited research I've done over the last few minutes, the main drivers appear to be:

1. A large increase in demand for College. I could imagine this may be, in part, due to more accessible student loans. But it appears that many factors have come into play, and the main one is the perception that you cannot get a liveable wage in this country without a college degree.

2. Less funding from state governments

3. Increased spending in administration and student services unrelated to education.

When I was doing my masters in anthropology at the same time as my SWE job, I ran into this issue of having too many notes and not enough organization. Random other tools never quite did it, generic search didn't work, notion et all kind of sucked, so I ended up rolling my own thing on top of Org roam. It's all plaintext org files, easily accessible.

When I do scholarly work, it's great because all of stuff is in one place. It's also useful for tracking the breadcrumbs I do for my real tech job.
> Framing women's ability to work as being bad for men

I framed it as bad for everyone because it essentially doubled the number of workers looking for jobs. Simple economics.

They're certainly a lot more independent now but my point is it did not come without cost. Nowadays both husband and wife have to work to maintain a good standard of living.
Copyright law is notionally intended to benefit society (read: people). Artists are people. AI (at least in this context) is a pile of computers at some big corporation. It doesn't seem weird to suggest that there ought to be different rules for different categories of entities.

I am fortunate to have three siblings with children of their own. During my teens, twenties and early thirties I've watched as my six nieces and nephews have gone from preschool, gradeschool and now, for some of them, into university. It's been a marvelous experience. The most striking observation comes from the development of my nephews. Our view of masculinity is decidedly stoic, strong, independent and emotionally stable-- there is nothing in my mind to say men can't be _different_, just that Western culture has selected that male paragon for so long, it may take another hundred years for a masculinism movement to make any changes to this norm. Anyways, my anecdotal experience watching my nephews grow up points toward a few clear heuristics: boys grow into good men when they are surrounded by nurturing parents; plenty of exercise, ideally in the backcountry; the opportunity to make (and then correct) mistakes in an environment that doesn't prematurely shame; a social environment comprised of good men and women from all ages and to whom they can relate; strong family connections, especially around dinner time; and most of all, parents who encourage them to get outside, get lost, get in trouble, all without a cellphone, social media or an escape hatch.

On the topic of social media, if it's been proven bad for teenage girls, it shouldn't be a surprise that social media must be equally polarizing, alienating and ultimately extremely poisonous for our young men as well.
Demand isn’t fully inelastic.
Many people are forgoing college that would’ve gone 20 years ago. It’s not huge yet, but it is happening.

The rest of your point stands though.
As someone who had access to various feeds of people in the university and their roles, well, the non-teaching staff numbers just kept going up and up as compared to everything else. Administrative bloat is real.
Also, why in the world isn't The Twilight Zone (the one from the 50's) in the public domain? It already set up the genre, it has been exploited in TV with ads for sure for decades. Also, I think Rod Sterling is not alive since a good chunk of time, ditto with the producers. There no loss on torrenting that series. If any, it would help on sales on current sci-fi series.

Imagine if banks didn’t have to worry about if you could afford to pay the loan or not. Every loan would be approved. House prices would sky rocket.

Easy access to credit does that. You can see it in developing countries. Once banks start offering mortgages to regular people, home prices go up five or ten fold in a few years.
Long time Thunderbird user. Love it, donate monthly, open source is important, blah blah blah. Having said that, does anyone else notice how the text editor in the email message body has a bunch of weird issues?

For example, edit a previously sent email with a list, and in the new message every list has a space at the end of each element. Try to delete the space and it deletes the last character. You have to use shift-arrow to select the space and delete it. What is that?!

Another example, sometimes I paste from a rich-text source that has a table and it immediately converts the body to plaintext or something awful. Can't Ctrl-Z to undo, and I've already written a bunch of text that I don't want to lose, so I copy my text and paste into something plaintext and start the message over.

In general I avoid pasting into the message body because of these type of weird issues. What component is that? I haven't gotten around to filing a bug yet because I've never tried to explain these issues to anyone else before!

1970's - The EPA knew since 1970s[1], and possibly even earlier, of the evils of the stuff that was getting dumped into the open.

1983 - The EPA learned of the Oakdale Dump (supefund site) and they still took no action [2] on the chemicals itself.

2001 - It was left to hero Billot, to literally put a target on its back by whistleblowing on the whole industry after the EPA, local county regulators, had all failed to blow this issue open.
