Sorry but you've completely lost the plot here. We're talking about using Discord vs using IRC as a means of capturing company documentation, and in this task Discord is superior in every meaningful way.

You could use a bot to push everything to a persistent, searchable location, and as a corporation this would be braindead easy. Obviously you wouldn't want to push private convos, so your continued reference to them isn't relevant at all, and your concerns about how "hard" it would be to add a bot to the server to do this is moot considering you control the server in question.

Why would you be banned from the server? Why would you ban yourself? Why would Discord ban you? Why and how would Discord banning you remove your ability to write a bot that pushes your content out to a storage place you control?

You keep trying to find a way to be right, but you keep stumbling.
OpenSUSE Tumbleweed says hi.
The answer to that is https://elk.zone atm, a fun and chef's kiss interface (built with nuxt). You can insert elk.zone/ before any Mastodon url. https://phanpy.social is also great, with multi columns even for lists.

A browser plugin like https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/mastodon-simplif... to follow, favorite, etc. directly on any server has also improved my experience a lot.
My math also didn't account for the fact that voyager would continue traveling in those 45 years you'd be trying to catch up, so it would actually take longer to catch up to it anyways.

IIRC some of the proposals around removing the GIL in the past have actually suggested that the asyncio paradigm could become multithreaded for parallelism.
What is meant is that services explicitly short change Linux users by restricting resolution based on client in a fashion that isn't trivially circumvented by fudging the user agent.

For instance a given content may be available in glorious 4K only via an app on a TV, 1080p via a windows or mac machine, and dogshit 720p that actually manages to look worse than old SD on Linux.

This is basically true of every service with Youtube TV being the least bad and showing at least reasonable quality. In theory showing lesser quality streams to less locked down platforms is supposed to make piracy harder. In reality popular shows are always available same day anyway.

Ultimately if you want creators to get paid and to enjoy the highest quality on Linux you need to both pay for and pirate the content and watch for instance on jellyfin.

You definitely did a good job. I'm an avid sci-fi reader, write it as a hobby, spend a not-insignificant amount of my free time reading up on space news, and even have a degree in mathematical physics; this is the first time in a long time that an analogical choice of units has had an impact on my perception like that.

The article does ask important questions, but also repeatedly mentions "investment" and "investors". People, the forests do not grow money. "Thirty-five million dollars" is a fortune in the forest, yet our living world is dying for lack of simple things, and death by a thousand cuts. How can one billion dollars be spent on a single recreation facility[0], and no money for forestry? Because the system is not reflecting real value, it reflects self-referential money value.

Beware of investors. These science people are lining up for what?

I'm not who you asked, but I agree, and I do think that's a meaningful distinction.

I'm curious: how would you characterize Tumblr? It's true that you generally follow people, but it's unlike other social media in that: blogs are anonymous, people generally have multiple side blogs for different topics, and browsing through tags is just as common as scrolling your dashboard for content posted by blogs you follow.
It’s not life or death, but time spent dealing with errors - debugging, the direct effects, understanding full impact - isn’t a resource we can get back.

Lesics (another Youtube channel) argues that current turbines are already 90% efficient. For Tesla Turbines to reach the same efficency it needs to spin in really high rpm (maybe 50 000), which makes it impossible to built disks for it. Those disks would have to be 2-3 meters in diameters for industrial applications and couldn’t withstand the forces.
For what is worth, I'm a fairly senior manager (a few hundred engineers) and I firmly believe and vocally point out the opposite. I'm sure the kind of self dealing you describe is not unheard of, but it's also pretty cynical to assume that as a default. If the culture in your work place has gone that far down the drain for real, maybe take some time to look for a new gig or reality check it with a manager you trust?
To be meaningful, half-life needs a Markov assumption, i.e., that the past and future are conditionally independent given the present. Or, more simply, at each instant, forget the past and for predicting the future use only the present.

Some interesting work in the many contexts where half-life works would be to say what the Markov property says about the mechanism of the decay or whatever are trying to predict in the context.
Well, of those 3 the 1998 internet bubble actually was different and modern society actually was fundamentally changed by the technology in question, so idk if that's the best counterargument. The other two, sure yeah those amounted to essentially nothing. But there have been plenty of bubbles where the concept underlying the bubble actually did have large societal impacts even if the investors all lost money, like tulipmania with futures contracts and railway mania with trains
I still cannot wrap my head around this. I was schooled about this fact by one of the C64 experts who frequent HN, and I'm still amazed.

C64 BASIC was terrible even for its time. Due to licensing issues, its capabilities lagged behind those of other BASICs from home computers of the same era. Everything cool you could do with it was basically cheating: PEEK and POKE. As a child, this frustrated me to no end. Even my friend with his Speccy had access to a better BASIC.

And still... Pirates! was made with Commodore BASIC.

Cold Fusion doesn't work because we are exchanging high-energy particles, which are expensive to produce, for low grade heat in bulk of material.

If we will have cheap source of muons, we can change equation. We can drop a tiny bit of Nickel lattice filled with Deuterium, and then strike it with muons from all angles, to create implosion. This will allow us to create tiny blast of hot plasma, which is much easier to extract energy from.

Sadly, we have no such cheap source of muons, AFAIK.
On Linux I use Mangohud or libstrangle to cap framerates. For me it is not a major annoyance though, as I only play a few games regularly on Linux. I still boot into Windows after I'm done with work and play most games there.

My understanding of why this causes a problem is that the CPU starts running ahead of the GPU, and queues up frames to be rendered. So it shouldn't be a problem with games that support Nvidia Reflex or some other feature to limit pre-rendered frames.
E-inks do not require a glass screen; it's there for durability. See https://www.digikey.com/en/maker/blogs/2022/is-an-e-ink-disp....

Thus, the see-through layer is not a fundamental property of the technology; it is a property of the specific use cases of the device in which durability is required or expected.
They might be referring to how clicks don't register with an app until it has focus (the first click being to focus it).

On Windows you can, say, click once to pause on a video playing in a browser window that doesn't have focus but is visible. On macOS, it's two clicks, because you have to focus the app first.

I don't care for the behavior but it's so minor to me that it carries essentially no weight.

To view software in isolation is an equally silly representation. In the physical world, software is part of an overall system that needs to be considered holistically. Most major safety-critical mishaps are the result of several failures, often across different domains.

In the case of the 737MAX, the software was a design around a physical constraint; that doesn't mean the software doesn't matter. Most software is designed as a workaround of a certain physical or mental constraint.

Observability is hella expensive. Orgs should consider TCO when making such decisions. Paying a few hundred thousands more for the skills to self run could literally chop tens of millions off vendor bills.
Focusing on denominations is a bit misleading, since some Protestants are anti-denominational (i.e., they reject denominations as wrong, which is kind of like Roman Catholics, except those Protestants go from one to zero ;-).

By affiliation, Protestants make up 66% of Christianity-derived religions in the US. 29% are Roman Catholic. Evangelical Protestants alone are 36%. (Source: https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/religious-landscape-stu...)

Religious affiliation is also highly geographically variable in the US, so many places would have relatively little cultural awareness of Roman Catholicism.

It's less an issue of the reality distortion field, and more the issue that Apple hasn't been co-opted by the allure of advertising dollars. That's going to change, with projections of revenue growth just from advertising expected to go from $5.3B to ~$20B (industry expectations), and regulations like the Digital Markets Act explicitly going after their walled garden.
You joke, and yet [Lucas 1988] uses an amusement park as a toy model to demonstrate how monetary shocks can affect real economic activity. The key difference between this and Chuck E. Cheese, though, is that Chuck E. Cheese is the only merchant that accepts their tokens for any sort of payment.

Some of us enjoy helping other people. First bit of advice I give to new or would-be managers is to learn indirect gratification. Most common failure mode for new engineering managers IMO is the struggle to feel productive given that impact is achieved chiefly indirectly.

There's a whole long standing organization of sysops dedicated to silencing and blocking the (few, I've never even heard of one myself) places on the WWW that the sort of stuff that you are talking about would come from. If the BBC sysops are on the ball, they'll already be looking at what block lists to subscribe to.

In fact, they've had the system up since June, and I wouldn't be surprised that they haven't already been importing blocklists. Alas, the "about" page doesn't say, as it normally would, what servers are moderated. But I can understand why the BBC would not want to get into the silly game that would (and does) result if it did publish its moderation list.

It's not well publicized, and resources for new sysops being poor is one of the problems with Mastodon et al., but I hope that the BBC people are on the ball in this respect.

When I was in my early 20s I would probably say I had a dependence on cannabis. Key for me in transitioning away from that was lower THC % products. It's was as if I wanted to enjoy a single beer after work but the only thing available was everclear. Most vape pens are billed as 85%+ THC. Now, I still enjoy cannabis, but I have a single puff of a vape pen that is around 3% THC (the rest is usually CBD) before bed. Or I take an edible that is 1.5mg THC (very low, edibles are usually sold at 5-10mg doses). It's a much different relationship. I don't feel like my mind is racing out of control, I don't build up a massive tolerance. I sleep fine without it. It's startling to think that a single puff of a 90% pen is literally 30x as much THC.

However, these products are disappointingly few and far between. When I walk into a CA dispensary, I actually have to hunt around for them, if they're even available. When I ask, staff members wonder if I'm buying it for my grandmother! It would be great to see the industry refocus on products that are designed to be consumed in moderation.

No, that's not true, and it's never been true. The definition was always "turned into a device which is electronically indistinguishable from a brick and unrecoverable." Maybe an expert could do some deep diving to bring it back, but if it's beyond recovery to most folks, then we'd call it a brick. If you have to desoldier a flash chip and sldier on a new one with a filesystem that isn't trashed or with corrected software, then we've debricked it, but that's really a deep level repair.
Pre-industrial CO2 concentration is synonymous with the "natural concentration", at least in the recent past. We made a very large change that has thrown Earth's systems out of equilibrium. Returning to pre-industrial CO2 levels would undo that change and bring things back towards equilibrium.

As pointed out here: https://rogerpielkejr.substack.com/p/why-proximal-origins-mu... some of the main reasons why it should be retracted include:

1. The paper was had ghost writers

2. Due to ghostwriting the paper failed to properly disclose COI

3. The paper is intentionally misleading, written with the sole purpose of misleading the scientific process

4. The authors both before and after publication expressed different conclusions from the paper itself.

5. The paper was published in Nature Medicine without peer review.

Software does not wear out like most physical components, but they often cause failure in interaction/coordinating between subsystems.

As the amount of coordination increases, the number of failure modes tends to grow quite fast. That's why software failures in physical, safety-critical systems are not trivially corrected. There are a lot of second order effects that need to be considered.

When I learnt programming as a hobby, before I went to college, before my jobs,

I was hoping the future is that we build highly specialized, and customizable tools through open source code, not too small that they are just another programming language, and not too large that they cannot be connected to each other to create more values.

And I was hoping we'd stop joining big companies, and instead open up local consulting firms to help people configure existing open source components for their specific needs. And the work (the configurations) should be done once per project and never reused.
> without any risk of customers jumping ship

actually, changing of cloud services is in the sweet spot of being both manageable, and pretty complex so you won't do it every other day.

So if companies are fed up for long enough (or if engineers find it so complicated or costly that they learn to do cloud with something else), they will change. And when they will change, they will never come back. Amazon would be just like AOL or Yahoo (or Jenkins or SVN) or any forgotten giant.

Additionally, many companies don't rely on any cloud service so far. One day, when they will eventually implement it, they won't take what has annoyed others.

AWS is already more expensive than the services of smaller companies (OVH and the like). So Beware.

This change on its own won't make much difference, but they shouldn't be too pushy.
