I closed my main instance account this week after realizing I was on Twitter. It didn't seem to start that way, I was doing a lot of great connecting with people who garden and do other things I do, but I got into a couple of very pointless arguments with people identifying as "team twitter" so to speak in the last couple days and the very tiny glimmer of hope that this might be a different thing of its own was snuffed.

I'm holding out thin hope that the threatened schism network that defederates both from Meta and from instances that federate with it actually happens, because that will definitely be a tiny network, and might work for me.

I also might give Lemmy a try, but I'm a little off it these days. I believe there's a way this can work and I believe there's enough of us who want to do it exactly that way, but I'm not sure if it's possible for us to reach each other without getting derailed by this thing or that.
Every job has its drudgery, no matter how much someone wants to have that job. I would also expect teachers who love to teach also want to teach those eager to learn. This is about teaching those who are not so interested in learning.

Also, you can't say teachers are poorly paid by neglecting they only work 8 months of the year, have a gold plated medical plan, and can retire with a lifetime very generous pension.
I would assume debugger support. Rust is in a tough spot because a lot of code gets compiled away, and debuggers need to understand some Rust-isms for good experience, like enum support. I don't think this is an insurmountable situation, though.
Bruteforce is a new method now?
What is interesting is how Harvard's reputation remains lofty despite these admission practices. If everyone knows that a large proportion of each class is either legacy or racially selected, why do people still think it's a top institution?

> Harvard could afford to provide nearly full scholarships for every student with 1% of the annual return on its $50.9 billion endowment. Many other elite colleges could easily afford it too. They don’t, because they want to maintain an aura of exclusivity.

To me it would be more exclusive and prestigious if they gave everyone a free ride but it was entirely on merit. Like much of Europe, and how the UK used to be (tuition in the UK is still more reasonable than Harvard though).
SAT is even worse for ranking as a lot of parents can't afford or arrange for their kids to go to prep classes.
No they aren’t. He owns it because he couldn’t back out of his Internet Troll-joke offer.

Let’s try to be at least slightly honest about reality, here.
> How much tax do you pay on dividends compared to realised gains on stocks? These two are rarely the same and sometimes a dividend is taxed preferably.

If it's stock held for more than a year, it's the same. If it's 2-12 months, dividends get better tax treatment. If it's less than 2 months, it's the same.

For the vast majority of people and investment out there on an individual level, they're the same.
A lot of Indian cities have built a subway in the past 20 years. Compared to the US you can see what can be done when it's needed.
Be careful, they might start forcing you to take the train everyday even if you have nowhere to go. Like they force children to go to school even if they don’t want to go, because the teachers pay depends on student attendance. They will literally lock up the parents for taking kids on a vacation.
It seems amazing to that a post about making something small on an end-of-life, Windows only framework. It would have been far more interesting to see what is possible with AOT and trimming.
I've used it for resources that have been permanently deleted, rather than the 404 that you'll usually see. I think it makes sense for that sort of stuff.

From a user perspective, getting a 404 after following a link that previously worked can indicate a couple of things. Like maybe the resource still exists in some other place, but they didn't set up redirects. Maybe it's been "privated" in some way, and I no longer have access to it.

A 410 makes it explicitly clear to me, that the resource has been permanently deleted. It'd also be nice if the response included some metadata as to when the resource was deleted.

SQL Server Execution Plans, Third Edition (2018) [pdf]
“The best camera is the one you have with you” I have extrapolated to a great many tools. What matters is doing the work.

If you have crap tools, you’re going to have a hard time doing the work and a harder time growing your skills (although some adversity can be good for cultivating an appreciation of craftsmanship).

But the better tool does not make the better craftsman. I think that’s easy enough to understand, and not really controversial.

Separately, people just like to pick a team and turn everything into Monday night football. Milwaukee Vs dewalt, mac Vs PC, Ford Vs. Chevy, Google Vs. Microsoft, on and on.

Once you’ve worked with enough to know there are only minor differences at a certain level, the color of your cordless drill is less of a factor in the quality of your work. But that doesn’t mean masters can’t have a little fun with some toys.
> The only fair thing to do is to get rid of this system and stop treating these degrees as somehow superior to those of other good schools because of Ivy League branding.

Is it the responsibility of elite educational institutions to break up elite social networks? If it is, why wasn't it the responsibility of educational institutions to fix racism or to "celebrate diversity"?

How is it "only fair" to force (or convince?) people to think more of degrees they think less of? Should I be forced to buy tickets to movies in genres I don't like because people worked just as hard on them as the movies in genres I do like? Does the state have any interest in the children of PMCs being able to attend the colleges of royalty?

You are perhaps right when you say that semver had failed, but what you list above as alternatives are less expressive. Semver admits a tree of versions (weak ordering) but your alternatives are strictly ordered.

Electric guitars (and basses) are pretty simple instruments, there are only 3 things that affect the sound you get out of it: the pickups (and how they're placed), the strings you are using and the setup. Everything else is quality-of-life improvement rather than sound improvement (assuming the instrument is at least mostly competent and doesn't have frets placed incorrectly or some internal signal processing that destroys the sound). However, for acoustic instruments, you certainly get what you pay for. You really don't often see professional violinists or classical guitar players using cheap instruments, as the quality of the instrument affects the sound to a much higher degree.

Most tools are quite similar to this, professionals know what they are looking for and don't need to get the most expensive or advanced tool, except in cases where it is absolutely necessary for optimal performance. They know the key things to look for to get the best performance out of the tool and the other characteristics they choose according to their preference or customize as needed.
"solid" may sound affirming but doesnt really mean anything. I am open to believe that Gottman Institute is not selling snake oil. Please provide some peer reviewed papers in reputable journals about Couples Therapy with Reproducable results by Gottman Institute. I am even willing to relax Conceptual replication, some papers with exact replication will do.

>Do you have conclusive scientific evidence on your hypothesis? It doesn’t sound like it is based on science and might suffer from the replication crisis.

The onus of providing proof and supporting evidense lies on "therapists" and "psycologists" who make the claim that their work is science and it "helps" people in any way.
They retool these factories pretty frequently when old models get redesigned, they can start making electric cars in these factories. Any number of electric car makers have already done this. Tesla and Ford, among others, are producing electric cars in former ICE car plants

Making an inferior product that is bad for society shouldn’t be an argument for government favoritism.
This is definitely feasible in Bevy (either via Rust codegen, "interpreter-style" node execution, or scripting). And will be even more feasible once we have an official visual Bevy Editor. However I'm pretty skeptical of "visual / node based programming" and I wouldn't personally prioritize that work when we have so many other things to do. That being said, I'm guessing someone will eventually build a 3rd party plugin to do this.
Accessibility? I've heard of Silverman but never Ruby of Kishmoor

The point isn’t that it’s illegal. The point is that it’s wrong and that Harvard’s admissions process is not a good way to attract the best students.

I think the goal isn’t to fill Harvard with a particular class, but to fill it with amazing students.
Waymo and Cruise both have remote operators who can remotely unstuck cars.

AFAIK they can’t drive the cars directly, but the they can give override commands, reset software, or make the car follow a manually set path. They probably can’t make it reverse at full tilt though ;)

Directly driving cars is considered very sketchy as you could have network latency spikes or dropouts at any time.

That said, it’s possible the cone still prevents the car from moving at all because either:

a. It creates a large enough sensor blockage to be deemed ‘unsafe’ for any movement

Or b. The car thinks its been in a collision, or thinks it can’t move without ‘colliding’ with the cone further.
It seems like a weak argument, in that it is just as likely it saw any number of things about it, from book reviews to sales listings to interviews.
Who Am I Without My Ambition?
The goal of fairness ML models is not necessarily to have equal outcomes across subgroups.

Other goals can be to have equal model accuracy across subgroups (e.g., models has the same precision/auroc/etc for each subgroup, even if the predictions themselves differ across subgroups) or identical distribution of statistical biases across subgroups (e.g., the model makes the same types of mistakes within each subgroup)

I could not (respectfully) disagree more. It's true that you can get a (seemingly) working system out of the gate, but that's rarely where I experience issues with Gnome or KDE. My issues usually happen after errant updates.

To address all of the issues you are listing, I just use NixOS and call it a day. I have snapshot support, I can change channels on a whim, swap out kernels on a whim and rebuild everything on a whim. If I want to nuke everything, I can have a new system up and running in under an hour because I just build on my meticulously configured configuration.nix and various flakes.

My point is that I don't want my DE to dictate how my system works. I mainly use CLI tools and configs, but also use Gnome and XFCE tools for select things. In the past 2 years I've never had a build issue and I run on bleeding edge versions.

You stating that you use your PC to get work done (and not r/unixporn notoriety) insinuates that those that don't agree with you are obsessed with superficial things. I can just as easily say you lack the knowledge of how your computer works so you lash out to mask your ignorance. Remember, this isn't Reddit, some of us here know what we are talking about.
Harvard continues to have a great reputation because they continually produce so many notable alumni.

You ought not to think of it as a rigerous academic forging fire for the meritocratically selected brightest minds, but rather as a finishing school for America's elite.

So long as they keep producing presidents, diplomats, CEOs, senators, and so forth, they will continue to have a great reputation.
I see this too. I'm using Firefox, and 1.1.1.1 for my DNS, and get SSL_ERROR_NO_CYPHER_OVERLAP in Firefox, and the same error you do in Chromium. Curl also fails with a similar error.

1.1.1.1, 8.8.8.8 (Google's DNS), and 9.9.9.9 (Quad9) all resolve archive.ph to the same IP address for me, 89.253.237.217.

If I get on a VPN (Mullvad, exit in Los Angeles, CA, USA), I get a different address for archive.ph (41.77.143.21), which works fine. If I get off the VPN, but put that address in /etc/hosts, it still works.

Reverse DNS on 89.253.237.217 (no VPN) gives me "example.spb.ru", while for 41.77.143.21 (with VPN) it's "host.41.77.143.21.binaryracks.net".

If I get back on the VPN, and put the Russian IP in /etc/hosts, it works as well. So I wonder if my ISP (Comcast) is interfering with TLS negotiation when attempting to access some hosts, and perhaps this is related to Russian sanctions, or just some other Russia-related blocking?

Anyhow, try putting:

41.77.143.21 archive.ph

in your /etc/hosts file (not sure if there is an equivalent on Android), and see if that helps.
Simple binary headlines like this lead to an either-or argument, but as we all know it's a matter of degrees.

There are indeed more powerful tools for some situations, and knowing those more powerful tools can mean the difference between success or failure or at least happiness or drudgery.

I could make so many analogies, but they would be lost on people who don't already understand the concept. So to spare the words, I'll just say that sometimes it is worth fighting for a technology, but it is equally worth debating that technology. Occasionally even the proponent decides it doesn't actually matter for the given situation. Other times management or juniors (who technically are similar) can be swayed, and hopefully the results prove the value of that fight.
I did that... Then committed myself back to embedded a couple of years later.
Agreed.

I think the biggest risk with the people who work their asses off more than they should (doesn't matter if it's good or bad code) is that they end up with a non-sustainable output. Productivity is artificially high, and often achieved by overtime, working weekends, and overworking themselves. Eventually that leads to burnout, lower quality, and it becomes hard to replace. When it's people working too much and delivering bad code it's probably not as bad, though.

At my current company we have someone in this situation, with work affecting their day-to-day stress levels very much, to the point of damaging their personal relationships. Their manager is young and inexperienced, and doesn't see the issue, but he was flagged by HR and I hope something gets done.
Just did this with my 11 year old. Honestly - it’s really easy now as the part count is low.

We made it a little harder with liquid cooling and lots of led lighting that appeals to an 11 year old aspring gamer!

Biggest issues were a clearance issue relating to the radiator and a motherboard flashing and configuration issue. I ended up needing to order an alternate fan.
No it doesnt. Chipset is in the CPU for a couple of AMD generations already. What AMD and board manufacturers call "chipset" are PCIE bridges with some embedded DRM to segment motherboard market and lock out out features on lower end models.
You need to add "cotisations sociales" (not tax per se, social security and such), which is I believe a 22% flat tax. So that would make 67% for the last bracket. But there are other differences. For instance, if you're married or/and have kids, you can have important benefits. Also RSUs are taxed differently.

Overall, tax is high in France, but not that different from other countries. Even in the US, certain places like NYC are heavily taxed. And you also need to see what tax gives you. I don't mind to pay tax if that gives me (and everybody else living here) access to healthcare, security, education or a decent future pension. Now whether France still provide these things is up to debate.
Why is the NYT so willing to be complicit to his fraudulence? Or at least, trying to sell the reader on the idea that being charmed by a fraud is acceptable?

I find it galling.

When one of the Davids does magic, we know what they mean. Geller's behavior is fraud. It is neither civil nor fair to the readership of a serious newspaper to hold back.
Seems like it would be a waste of money as many students can afford it, Stanford's model of generous, guaranteed scholarships makes more sense to me.
No sh-t

The context was the impacts of X substance vs Y substance, right?

In all cases the actual cause is the underlying problems but it's the substance that (is perceived as) causes the manifestation that otherwise wouldn't occur, right?

>>The key is people realizing they are part of a large group with a common cause

COVID Shattered my belief that people "wanting privacy from government" is a "large group" as you seem to imply

People are more than willing to trade their privacy for the promise of the government provided safety blanket, even if that promise is false, can never been realized and will result in massive abuse.

I dont think there is a a large group to organize.

> Valve and JetBrains are the only companies I can think of that are making any significant amount of money selling closed source software to Linux users.

Honestly, JetBrains have some of the better IDEs out there, that have all of the features I need, pretty good code completion and suggestions, some of the best refactoring out there, good debugging capabilities and framework integrations as well as language specific functionality (e.g. dependency management integration). Well worth the money. Even Fleet, their text editor alternative to VSC will probably be mature enough to be a serious contender in a few years, though not yet.

Another piece of software that I pay for is GitKraken, a really nice Git client with a GUI, which makes switching between different accounts a breeze (for example, different GitHub accounts, each with a separate SSH key) and makes using Git actually pleasant with all of the visual features. It feels like a more polished SourceTree or a more featureful Git Cola and makes me feel like you don't need to use the CLI all the time anymore.

On Windows, there's maybe MobaXTerm, perhaps one of the best SSH clients with things like multi-exec, support for a variety of protocols and other quality of life features that mRemoteNG and other options don't quite have. Pretty good.

> So how are they supposed to commercialize given that most Linux users are generally a bunch of cheapskates?

Other than that, most of the software I use is free and good enough (the cheapskate argument, I guess): everything from LibreOffice, to things like GIMP, OBS, Audacity and Kdenlive. I guess what I'm saying is that if you make a really good product that doesn't have alternatives that are close enough in your niche, then you can indeed do decently selling it.

As for how that would look for a distro, I'm not sure, given how many other mature ones are out there. Maybe selling support, though obviously that is hard to do.
The "fairytale" cases (IPO) are quite rare, but acquisition is a little less rare, and help support the portfolio.

They could do it without appointments. Just require that prospective buyers bring their car keys.

Then tell anyone driving something less fancy than a Mercedes S-class or equivalent to fuck off :-)

It's funny to see a company rooted in jeans and T-shirt California counterculture struggle to reinvent something that would have been painfully obvious to any luxury store owner before the 20th century: throw out anyone not wearing sufficiently fancy clothing.
Irrespective of the AI discussion (computers don't care if you're stereotyping or not), I really don't think it's stereotyping to assume someone who went to a school which literally only admits women is probably a woman. There's a difference between assuming someone's gender because they're a cheerleader, and assuming because they won the women's cheerleading championship. I also assume that the person who drives a fire truck is a fire fighter.
Show HN: Find Mullvad VPN servers with the lowest latency
When traveling, in case my destination country does not have a Mullvad server, I often need to figure out which of the servers in surrounding locations have the lowest latency. This usually involves searching for servers around me, and then a lot of pinging, which, having done it twice, I decided to automate.

This was exactly my experience trying to buy an Apple Watch from the Apple Store just before the pandemic. I had done all the research ahead of time and knew exactly what I needed. “Do you have an appointment?” No. “Oh, it’ll be about 45 minutes before someone can help you.” But I know what I want and just need you to ring me up. “I’m sorry, 45 minutes.”

Hands down the strangest retail interaction I’ve ever had. Frustrated, I went to the Best Buy literally in the mall’s parking lot and was on my way in under 10 minutes with the watch I wanted. I guess Apple still won here since I bought the product anyhow?
This is a good question and I'm also not quite sure what to make of it. As no one has answered this for a while I'll give it a shot, even at the risk of being wrong.

I think that what they are saying is that linearity is part of the status quo of Opponent-Colors Theory and they reject the whole thing including the linearity. So in essence they agree with you.
Admissions departments at schools like Harvard are not naive and are very familiar with probably the top 500 public high schools across the country, and another 100-200 top private schools, which ones grade inflate, how their academic rigor compares, etc.
Yes, and you can make it by making two bights (folds in the string, aka "bunny ears") or just by making the folds as you push the string through the aperture formed by crossing the strings.

I don't really understand why people like the misnaming of the square knot/reef knot as the "Ian knot" either. To me that confuses things, as if it's not just a technique.
