There are a bunch of OSS that solve problems when running distributed scale out workloads in "the cloud". For example prometheus is a metric db for storing monitoring data.

Ceph is a storage backend. Most of them tend to be built for or work well with kubernetes.
I had a similar lockout problem but it was because I hit a honeypot when port scanning the entire university network for fileshares.
I'm guessing it's just a mistake. Tried posting about it on the forums?
The rebootstrap being referred to here is not Helmut's automated rebootstrap tool, but about the fairly manual process of rebuilding an existing unofficial port as on official port, the steps for this are on the new port docs wiki page:

Leveling pillars of towering fear

Rational instincts and insight to spare

End of falseness, end of grace
Haven't written on this, but can give you the important details of my form of consulting:

1) I tend to work at medium to large companies (Stubhub, Atlassian...) from anywhere from 7 months to 1.5 years. The reason being, as mentioned, that it's tough to do two things at the highest level at the same time. So I prefer to completely commit to one thing at a time - seems like for you, you have a lot of longterm clients that are constantly hitting you up for work. Guessing you're going to have to say no to new projects once you're ready to focus more on your interests.

2) So, when I'm working on a consulting job, it is my primary focus, and they get the best of me. And, I try to do at least 7 months of work, so that I do a substantial amount of work for them and they feel good about it - also, if you do too short a period, it will make it harder to get another job later on.

3) Although, it's important that while working at a consulting job, to keep up and improve your skills at whatever your outside interest is. Because if you don't, wow, you can really lose your skills and when your switch back to your interest, will need a ton of time to refreshing yourself. For me as a musician, this means would spend an hour a day practicing before work, specifically "sight-singing" as it is one of the most important skills for composition. In fact, would actually not just maintain the skill, but got a better at it over the course the consulting job.

4) When you have enough money and finish your consulting job, quit and switch back to your main interest. Will typically need to spend some time getting back up to speed. Sometimes this can take one month, other times (if you did a really long consulting job or you find a new skill you want to learn as is often the case for me) it can take a few months.

5) Now, fully focus on your main interest. You need to treat it just like regular work because it requires a ton of discipline, because it is so easy to get distracted and not do anything (I say this as I write this comment to you as a distraction from practicing:) For me, need a weekly work schedule (work mon - friday) and a daily routine to keep on track.

6) And just a suggestion about any outside interest. Work on smaller projects rather than trying to shoot for the moon. Because everything is takes a lot more work to do it at the highest level. Yeah, if I aim to create a music composition that I think will take a couple month, it often takes 3 or 4 times that, especially if I'm trying out a lot of stuff that I've never done before. I'd rather create something small that is really good than work on something large that I'll never finish.

7) And at least in my opinion, using this method, the quality of my compositions is quite high (at least to my standards) as they are my primary focus for months at a time.

8) Oh, and live cheaply. I used to live in SF, but moved way outside the city to save money (saved like 40% on rent, which went from $1350 to $700 - living with roommates in both situations).

Hope this helps!
It does contradict this part:

Not in 1997. And they still don't sell the PHEV in my region in 2023, just the non-EV hybrids.
Can we define automation then because my understanding was that it quite literally means sans human labor. Are you saying it's merely a political buzzword?
In this case, that's not really the issue. Yes, the issue is money, but it's not as nefarious and cynical as you make it sound. People don't want desalination, they want fresh water. If there are cheaper ways to meet water demand than desalination -- which is currently the case for most (but not all) places in the world -- then there's no need for desalination. Certainly as water scarcity becomes more of a problem, we'll have to re-evaluate this situation, and at some point desalination may end up being competitive with the alternatives.

We also might find more efficient (cheaper) ways to do desalination, which could tip the scales toward it earlier.

Yes, the Nazi have built certain things competently, because their predecessors were colossally incompetent.

But, AFAICT, they also run on a lot of resentment in the society, from the loss in WWI, crippling sanctions, huge inflation, and the truly incompetent Weimar Republic government. The Nazi found a bunch of enemies: predatory Jewish capitalists, the evil Brits, the insidious Communists.

A common enemy always helps solidarity, and some fire sales and confiscations resulting from the flight or arrests of better-off Jewish entrepreneurs helped the bottom line, too. On top of that, Nazi offered grandeur: some ritualistic cultural revival, "ancient roots", racial supremacy over basically everyone, and increasing military might. This was raising the spirits, even if it was not improving the living conditions.

And winning the hearts of the population is utterly important for staying in power, usually more important than filling their bellies.
Maybe the storage could be part of the energy solution, by pumping to an uphill resovior when power is cheap, and sending it through to downhill resoviors via a hydroplant during the peak hours.
Precisely the point. We drive trillions of miles in a year and the number of fatalities and even permanent disability from accidents is astonishingly low. As modern people in a free democratic society, I wonder if we at some point have to accept, "this is as good as it gets." Your only other options are complete tyranny of the state over motorists.
Transport costs are everything. There’s water on the coasts, but the cost of transporting it inland is too high.
Most fruit at the store is also pretty cheap, does that mean all food is equally good and all fruits are equally ripe?
Easily forgotten? It's brought up in just about every discussion on the subject, including this one, already, by the person you were replying to agree with.
You're missing the point. No one is being "punished" for their ancestors having owned slaves. The idea is to assist people whose ancestors were exploited, legally and systemically.

I don't think anybody is arguing that people aren't observably smarter than other people; the question is about the metrics we're using, which, I mean, an equally vivid (and equally non-rigorous) argument would be: if you really buy into the IQ/g story, go hang out with a bunch of Mensa people and see how long you hold onto that belief.
There was a library adding macros to JS that was a thing long ago. I always thought that `cond` would make JSX way better, though JS + macros sounds terrifying in general.

Code example below, `cond` is an example in their tutorial: https://www.sweetjs.org/doc/tutorial.html#sweet-cond

let realTypeof = cond {
case x === null: 'null'
case Array.isArray(x): 'array'
case typeof x === 'object': 'object'
default: typeof x
}

No it's not a revenge play. A single letter domain is worth a king's ransom and this particular letter lives in his head rent-free; he wouldn't drop that anywhere just for nothing. Elon is obsessed with the mythology of X and wants to build an empire. He wants to own transportation, energy and communication and build some backbone to digital society.
That's exactly the problem, though, no? If you keep raising the prices, then at some point desalination will be an attractive option.

Agree that the current system in the southwest/western US around agricultural water rights is just stupid, though. Agriculture uses water in some disgustingly inefficient and wasteful ways, because they're incentivized to do so.
Take a long tube with an osmotic filter on it. Put it in the sea with one end out. Pressure is going to fill the tube up, no, just like a snorkel? Probably back up to sea level, possibly minus whatever force reduction caused by the filter? Boom, water filtration with no expenditure of energy.

It may be wrong but it really isn't "obviously delusional."
> Why make it about race? Just make those things available to all disadvantaged individuals, period.

Because…

> the legacy of slavery has left significant and enduring socio-economic disparities between descendants of enslaved people and those who are not. Inequalities in wealth, education, health, and opportunities persist, often along racial lines. These disparities aren't merely coincidental, but have been reinforced by racially discriminatory policies and practices like segregation, redlining, and racial violence, all of which have historical roots in the institution of slavery.

Parent made the case very plain.

Try a thought experiment: your ancestors were enslaved in America. After emancipation, every generation of your ancestors was subject to both systemic and individual discrimination and violence.

The question is, what would you want done? Do the answers “well that’s all in the past” or “how about these other people though” satisfy? It’s worth thinking about. Personally I do not know what my own answer would be, other than that I would almost certainly be angry and distrustful.
First off, going after e2e encryption is wrong.

...But I am starting to get sick of unencrypted Big Tech's liability shield.

It was enacted to let the nascent social media platforms survive. But they aren't startups running out of garages anymore. They are some of the richest entities on the planet, they can patrol their own platforms, but they will not patrol their own platforms out of the goodness of their hearts unless it affects their bottom line, or a law makes them fear prosecution.
I think about it more pragmatically. If we removed a post because we were afraid of an effortless comment, we'd have no posts.

I think the post itself is worth noting and is interesting. It has room for, how you put it, unpredictable responses. I can't control who or what comments on it, only who to engage with or flag. In that regard, it sounds like a moderation problem more than a content problem to me (Maybe a user problem, but I'm assuming that banning 10 specific users doesn't solve the problem). And I feel you're offering a content solution to a moderation problem, which simply doesn't align.

The real question to ask is: is the moderation inadequate? How do we fix it? I feel like asking to ban these posts is giving up to the trolls and provocateurs rather than fixing the underlying problem.

Love it. Can you display the source when I view an icon. When I search for something a hundred icons show up and there isn't a way to know which icon set each belongs to.
Desal plants need to be running constantly and incur untennable startup costs otherwise, if I am not mistaken. Perhaps state of the art has fixed that issue.
The rich will pay far more into the program for free lunches that include their kids than their kids will receive back. And it'll probably make the program more efficient, since there won't be a pointless bureaucracy devoted to making sure there's no one getting free lunches who doesn't deserve those low-quality free lunches (the horror).

Recycle to the point of making it potable again, or recycle for other uses, like agricultural? If the former, that is truly a wonderful achievement. (Even the latter is pretty great, though!)
Browsers do in fact get exploited; I would have called that an example of it not being a solved problem.
It is very likely that costs would scale sub-linearly. So that 5x is likely dramatically overestimating the increase in capital requirements.
No. I say what I mean, and I mean what I say, like that quote by (maybe) the Mad Hatter in Alice in Wonderland :)

To be more precise, as Thomson and Thompson (of Tintin comics) would say, I meant it as a double irony on the GP's misspelling or typo.
How do you explain the industry's growth?

It may help to think of it as assistance for victims of a natural disaster, which seems pretty universally acceptable. The disaster being a very messed up society. Or as something like the Marshall Plan that helped restore Europe after, again, society’s global screwup.
Wait, we ship water from Italy to California? Why don’t they just produce it in CA? It’s just bottled sparkling water right?
If you convert all of the local thermal gradient to electricity, there's no work left to do without a pressure gradient in the loop or passive exchange to keep a thermal gradient there?

According to Superfluid Quantum Gravity, black holes and the quantum foam have a gravitational pressure gradient; vortices given density.
> Users want this

The customers of those users absolutely do not want this. If I ever find out a company uses something like this, I'll no longer be doing business with them.

> So while you should absolutely make sure this is done properly

That is simply not possible.
> There are a heck-ton of technical people who should also have a look at these "safeguards"

It's mostly (almost exclusively) nontechnical policy people. Unfortunately while people that actually understand the technology have been busy working on it, an almost separate group have been pontificating about what kind of regulations they need. Of course those with an agenda and awareness have had their voices heard, but none of the regulation will respect the average practitioner view or understanding. I expect this is what always happens.
>Did you mean

You sound like Google.
Whether the tank is bulletproof is irrelevant.

Again, whether or not your dead doesn’t change the fact that the tank will explode, not just burn.

The system as a whole is not leak-proof. All you need is a leak in a contained area, like a garage.
The rich are going to be paying the majority of the taxes that fund this. Is it unacceptable that their children be allowed to get a small fraction of the food their parents paid for?
I’m willing to bet that a Y combinator founder’s event’s attendees have as high if not higher average IQs than persons at a Mensa meeting.

Mensa appears to select for high aptitude and low achievement, which is a really unfortunate combination.
The United States is a huge country and lots of people take road trips with 5-6hr drives. If you live in California you can easily do 5+ hours and not even leave the state.
Only ever saw a chomo ex-cop get close to being killed because he didn’t check in. Gang members on the other hand, saw quite a few get killed. Two for being in a gay relationship. That’s the US prison system for you. No clue what state is like.
Sure, but if there's enforcement officials that will take a periodic 1X bribe to protect illegal activity, there's likely someone else in society (possibly, other enforcement officials taking a bribe, or possibly other groups that have simply bribed the right people to protect their own activities) that will take a 10X payment to suppress that activity from some party with conflicting interests, perhaps by means such as putting a gun to the head of the official taking the periodic 1X stream and giving them a choice of betraying the payer or having their office redecorated with the contents of their skull.

Corrupt systems rather notoriously do not tend to feature unity of action or interest throughout what is notionally the government, or even what are nominally single agencies within the government.

Also, a 10X carrot directly to the bribed official receiving the periodic 1X stream can also be combined with a stick.

You don't think the plata o plomo choice only applies to actors not already on someone else’s corrupt (beside the official government’s overt) payroll, do you?

About 61% of foster youth in California graduate high school on time. Past 18 things turn into a messy patchwork of semi support, simply successfully transitioning to a point with a high school diploma, a job, and stable housing is a success story. Many are homeless at points, and living on the street is the backup plan if anything goes wrong. (Note: non-CA experience, but Google shows a similar alphabet soup in CA.)

NFYI says about 3-4% of foster youth graduate with a 4 year degree.

If Hillary had won, it would have also been "antidemocratic" according to your definition. So would you have protested that too? No one was going to get greater than 50% of the popular vote in that election.

Apparently there's some reality there you don't like either.

You Americans are seriously lunatic reality-deniers. Close to 50% of the voters vote for Trump, but because it's not mathematically 50%, you dismiss it as a not-significant part of the electorate. You liberals are no better than the people who stormed the Capitol; you're just as unbelieving of reality as they are.
Here is the problem with your argument: our planet is finite, and growth will eventually plateau. It cannot go on forever.

Automation does remove jobs, but so far it's done so on a small scale compared to what AI will do. On the other hand, AI will remove jobs on a large scale on an order of MAGNITUDE more than other automations.

The argument of drawing an analogy with the loom is weak. As technology progresses, the power of it in its scope increases, and computer technology is much more wide-reaching than the loom. Unfortunately, analogy only goes so far.

At some point, there may indeed be more jobs. But even then, they will be (to the human mind) quite meaningless, such as the maintenance of AI machines and of such speciality that people will lose all hope in life by doing them.
It was already nearly free; tuition was covered, and a patchwork of benefits covered most of room, board, and books. Or at least that's what they told us when we became foster parents 14 years ago.
False. The median balance for savings is only $5k in the richest country in the world. That is nothing. People are living paycheck to paycheck.

"American households, on average, have $41,600 in savings, according to data last collected by the Federal Reserve in 2019. The median balance for American households is $5,300, according to the same data."

Using the above methodology, I ran numbers for a desalination factobattery and it's really bad, like two orders of magnitude more expensive than just buying a Li battery to buffer the unreliable energy and running desal 24/7.
The rebootstrap is done because unofficial ports build servers usually are not owned or run by the Debian project, but by the porting teams themselves, who could be and often are random people who are not yet Debian members. So we don't necessarily want to use all of those .debs because they might not be rebuildable, or they might have artefacts from whatever hacky bootstrap process the first build used. The bootstrap process is a QA strategy to have more trust in the resulting binary packages.

Longer term we want all new ports to be cross-built from an existing architecture, but we don't have cross-buildds yet. The rebootstrap tool is a work-in-progress QA tool for making cross-building bootstrap for new arches a viable strategy.

https://wiki.debian.org/HelmutGrohne/rebootstrap
https://wiki.debian.org/DebianBootstrap
https://crossqa.debian.net/
https://wiki.debian.org/PortsDocs/New

Even longer term, we should do a bootstrap of all architectures from scratch using the approach of Guix, Bootstrappable Builds and Reproducible Builds; start with ~500 bytes of hand-written machine code plus all the source code and build enough to get a build server up, then go from there.
