Carlyle is the progenitor of GMT; making him the ultimate authority on how GMT is applied as a historical analysis is a bit like making Newtown the ultimate authority on gravity.

And note: the fixation on science as a category isn’t coherent from Carlyle’s 18th century perspective.

(But how does any of this make the original post a straw man? You can replace the figures in it with Mohammed and Shakespeare without meaningfully altering the claim.)
Pragmatically, in English we deal with this by briefly dropping into Latin to talk about acer caesium, for example, and this is fine because we’re generally not aiming for any kind of linguistic purity - it’s not so easy if we try to use Toki Pona as a highly puristic, controlled vocabulary language.

Britain has always been a poor country. But some people were extremely rich, thus skewing the image that visitors saw.

And most of that wealth was exploited from outside the country, from the 'Empire'. After the 1940s, that external wealth withered away, leaving nowt but a shrivelled husk.
It's maintained by the same people, and the problem isn't so much whether there's a hard dependency on Stitches, but the way they've essentiellt swept the rug under the feet from anyone using Stitches leaves a bad taste in my mouth and makes me hesitant to use Radix.

> SpaceX is an entirely unoriginal company (really good execution, though). The genius of SpaceX is in the systems which enable that execution. It's not even really a particularly significant company.

There's a large SpaceX office down the road from where I live (Redmond, WA) and a fair few of my ex-MSFT friends now work there, and they call say the same thing to me: "SpaceX's successes are despite Elon's involvement, not because of it".

I just still don't know if I want to work there or not. BlueOrigin gave me an offer for an avionics position years ago, but the commute down to Kent, WA was a deal-killer.
It's somewhat similar conceptually to Basic English, yes. A notable additional limitation is limited support for compound phrases.

I predicted this more than 2 years ago when I was running a fedi node.

Back in 2004 I used to build spam filtering proxies using bayesian filters in spamassassin. And my experience in the fedi instantly made me realize they would be a quick and easy solution for a lot of fedi spam.

So it's fun to see pixelfed taking the leap. I can't wait to see how it evolves.

The fedi being very similar to e-mail is most likely going to see a lot of the developments of e-mail. For example domain verification would also be good. And I also predict some sort of reputation system for instance domains.
I just figure I must be doing something wrong.

You're right - I should have mentioned this in my comment. I would not use a thermal printer for one's own bookkeeping. I solely use it to be able to produce dead tree slices for people who require them and won't relent without having to dedicate desk space for the printer or buy consumables for it. I personally never need to print stuff for myself so this use-case didn't even cross my mind.
> Basically, you don't want to lose evidence if there's a warrant or ongoing lawsuit. I really see no problem with that clause in most ToS documents.

Perhaps more nit-pickinlgy specific, they may be compelled by law (the courts or an agency with enforcement capacity) to maintain evidence if there's a warrant or ongoing lawsuit.
You are mistaking 'entitled' for 'not prohibited'

Dan Luu also says rename is not atomic, at the bottom of this post: https://danluu.com/file-consistency/

I've wondered ever since I read that what the first bullet there means. It can't be what you're saying here, what you're saying would apply to racing processes as well as crashes?

So then.. what does he mean when he says rename isn't atomic if there's a crash? What's the failure condition / in-between state that can occur if there's a crash?

I think it depends. I don’t think putting their data outside their local jurisdiction would help much because as a cloud provider they would service a lawful warrant across regions unless the accounts are owned by a foreign entity then it would have to be complaint with the region both of the data and the entity owning the account. Some jurisdictions are “safer” than others and some are less willing to honor a warrant from a us court against a local entity.

I think this is fairly complex though to avoid a potential issue that likely won’t exist. By simply instrumenting audit and using service provider encryption services like aws KMS with CMK with audit trails turned on you generally insulate yourself from most warrants. You can still be compelled to turn over data, but it would have to be done with you being aware of it and often with your direct involvement. More importantly you would retain a copy of everything and all your infrastructure. If they have convincing evidence you’re using your infrastructure to commit crimes the cloud provider may freeze your account, though, but it would have to be more than “we think you have evidence of a crime in your data” and more like “you are using ec2 instances to commit crimes actively”
If it's not behind a paywall then no point whining about it
If you’re having to do extra mental work to guess, it means you don’t have enough familiarity with the language, its type checks/guards, and the standard library. That’s not the language’s fault.

If you want to check the type of a thing, you always want the matching `is_<type>`. It can be used anywhere in your code, including guards. There’s no guesswork involved here. That is the consistent rule.

When you see a function with a `?`, look at the typespec and the function name—give it the argument(s) it expects and it will answer the question on the tin with a boolean. Again, there’s no guesswork. These functions can be used anywhere except guards—that is the consistent rule for boolean functions.

> Is the thing I want to test written as a macro or not?

I have never had to ask myself this question, and I struggle to parse it. Is the “thing” you want to test referring to the value or to the test you wish to perform on that value? Since you’re asking about macros, I’m assuming you mean the guard test. For that, just learn what guards are available[0] (you can also write your own :D ).

I have been watching polite first amendment auditors on YouTube such as Honor Your Oath and Long Island Audit and Too Apree. They will engage in constitutionally protected activity such as video recording or panhandling* in public, or in Too Apree's case, just acting like a goof.

Quite eye-opening. All too often a police officer will attempt to run them off at the behest of a government bureaucrat. Overall, these videos reveal that the people who form our government tend to streamline the operation of government for their own convenience and comfort at the expense of the rights and convenience of ordinary citizens.

Even the people who have sworn an oath to uphold the rights enshrined in the Constitution all too often do not really understand what those rights are. Or don't care. Or think their job is about something else - keeping citizens in line or something.

One must always exercise one's rights or lose them. "I have nothing to hide" is hiding. As The Civil Rights Lawyer says: Freedom is scary. Deal with it.

I've had nearly the exact same idea, except the NPCs are explicitly aliens, to explain why they have such different psychology that their language hasn't grown further. Or perhaps Toki Pona is their trade language, or it's a language only children speak, or something of that nature.

> By making frequent use of msync(addr, length, MS_INVALIDATE), data written in this manner can be shared between processes that both map the same file. mmap(2), msync(2).

MMAP_SHARED means that the same physical memory pages are available via different virtual addresses. All the writes are visible immediately, at least in the same way as in the regular memory (you may still need mfence-es or a cache flush depending on CPU).

MS_INVALIDATE is essentially a no-op on Linux.

Line Range Filtering in Rails 7.1 Testing
That's what Great Man Theory is. Your impressions of it are not.

It's wrong because the concepts of invention and scientific discovery are entirely different from political action. I agree with you that science/technology is not contingent on certain individuals and is better understood as a larger historical process. The discovery/invention of calculus is a good example.

I don't agree that political history works the same way, nor do I think that historical actors like Muhammad or Napoleon are simply interchangeable cogs that could have easily been replaced by anyone else. Certainly they were shaped by their circumstances, but I think you would have a very difficult time arguing that history wouldn't have been drastically different if say, Muhammad the individual hadn't made the decisions he did.

Technological development and individual political action are two different things. By using discoveries to argue against the theory as a whole, you are setting up a straw man.
You could also be in a fun grey area where your 6600XT will sometimes reset properly and allow the physical host to reclaim it for its own purposes. Or not and require a full forced shutdown and reboot to restore proper function.

How the Rails params hash works
That's a trite observation that doesn't actually _say_ anything.

But formulated in that language, my comment becomes: POSIX picks less than useful trade-offs for distributed file systems.

An extreme example: POSIX's atime gives you something you seldom need, but imposes a huge burden. That's such a bad trade-off, that approximately no-one implements the original spec, even if nothing is distributed at all.

For U.S. officials, world’s largest hacking conference isn’t all fun and games
What is amazing is that the general show had a story for all seasons from day 1. With variations built in depending on cast movements.

However... They had subpar actors which really killed it. I think they were heavily uderbudgeted for what they wanted to do for that time. I think if such a good planned show was to exist today, it would be fucking amazing. But alas were not there.

It was also a bit toooooon soapie. Needed less soap more content.
The true problem is, what offended 20 years ago, does not offend today. And the same is true for 20 years from now!

So how do you codify this? Legislation can't have specific words and actions in it, it would be out of date before it became law!

So to target "offensive things", depends upon the opinion of the officers, the prosecutor, and so on! And can change at a moments notice!

Oh bewoe to thee, which does not watch twitter and be ware of new words this week!

Here's an example. Where I grew up, colloquially, women were called 'chicks' and men 'boys'. "What are you chicks/boys up to", one might say.

This was used by extreme feminists too, with zero objection.

Flash forward a few years, and in a city 1000km away, I started to describe how I was deeply impressed with the clarity of <female author>, she's a chick to watch.

Zero offense at home. None. New city? All the women, and some men in the room, went ballistic.

Note that:

* I was complementing the intellect of a person

* The tone and mannerism I used, was as if I said "woman to watch"

Point is, a word which was encouraged and approved by feminists I grew up with, used 1000km away in the same province of my country, meant I was an anti-feminist, woman hater.

And how do you legislate that?!

And... what you say in one place, can be dangerous in another, all with no ill intent!

I want to hit the bliss states :). I mean, people talk about so much bliss and ecstasy you almost can't bear any more, and nearly pass out with the pleasure. All the major lineages I've researched talk about meditation leading you to states of unparalleled bliss, and freedom.

I'm incredibly privileged to live in this place and time. Right now, practices that used to be secret across multiple traditions and cultures are available to study openly, without spending a lifetime at a guru's feet. This also helps see patterns, to separate the genuinely useful practices from superstitious dogma. My basic needs are met and I have sufficient time to practice.

As I see it, there are two possibilities:

a) all the spiritual stuff is real

b) it's just an illusion of the mind

Either way, I'll gain greater knowledge of myself and subconscious, and hope to enter bliss states which, by many accounts, are actually deeply satisfying (unlike the majority of experiences I normally have).

So then, if there's a choice between aiding the process to get there faster, or allowing it to blossom in its own time, I'd be foolish to risk it never blossoming and throwing away this golden opportunity.

The other thing with just allowing it to blossom, is how do you know it will? I've been practising for over 20 years and have only had glimpses of deeper states, never previously being able to repeat them. If you're doing the right practice I'm sure deeper states will blossom. But unless you have some way of measuring whether your practice will be productive, you just risk getting nowhere fast.

Here's an example of this kind of self-study chat btw (so you can see the pros and cons) https://chat.openai.com/share/d1428952-84e6-42be-9e0a-2ce62b...

It's interesting that in the final matrix example it somehow messed up the Latex by forgetting to put \begin{bmatrix} at the front which is why the formatting goes bonkers. It's also kind of cheesy that it chose a diagonal matrix rather than having to find the roots of the characteristic polynomial but any case you get the idea hopefully and can see how this would be helpful when you're trying to learn this stuff yourself? I'm certainly finding it great as I work through textbooks etc to chat through concepts in this way to check my understanding and drill into things.

Cachet 3.x Announcement
Hmmm, just checked and you're right! I've not touched the SPU for well over a decade now, and it appears I've forgotten a lot more than I realised.

You're right about the latency too, but because it was a pipelined architecture all instructions had some latency, so while 6 sounds high, it wasn't really significant. Now I'm thinking about it (memories of re-arranging instructions manually, before I shifted from assembler directly to using GCC and intrinsics and letting the compiler worry about the interleaving), I also realise I'd forgotten the odd/even cycle split where you would pair instructions of different types (roughly ALU and non-ALU) together so they could execute concurrently.
