It's funny how everyone was always harping on buying AMD for Linux but nobody acknowledges just how good consistent Intel has always been with Linux support since ..forever?

Yeah, I know, Intel did a lot of shitty anti-competitive and anti-consumer stuff, just like any other big-corp in history with a dominant position, so everyone hates them, but on the Linux front they always seemed to deliver better than AMD and Nvidia.
The cost and complexity of the process you describe is beyond the complexity that people, who want to express themselves in small ways, incrementally, over time, are willing or able to engage with, especially up-front
This is why I use codec libraries like zod or io-ts (purify has them built in also) at my boundaries.
Generators, which already exist in the stdlib, is an example where we can see heap elision being useful, but is currently unreliable in C++. There is a paper "Explicit Coroutine Allocation" that will likely solve this in C++26. The Clang IR project will also improve HALO for the future of (Clang) C++ projects.
In my VERY limited experience this is only maintainable in very capable hands. They all start off OK and then creep and bloat.
Sounds very cool. Were failures punished by low ratings, bonus? How did they incentivize taking risks?

> Take the lab leak theory that WHO and many many governments said was a Hoax. Pretty much widely known to be correct now.

A possible lab leak was never ruled out, just most of the evidence does not point to it. It was never 10% ruled out during the pandemic and now.

I'm a biologist, have friends who also biologists and work in connected fields. Unless you think a possible lab leak is the same as someone posting "100% proof covid is a CCP bioweapon!!!!)
Background radiation is categorically different than ingesting/inhaling radioactive substances with the latter many orders of magnitude more dangerous.

The claim, nuclear testing related increases in radiation exposure not being relevant for public health is probably false. There are only very few studies with dubious reliability. The lifetime increase due to that nuclear testing is estimated to be 4.4 Millisieverts. It would have risen continuously with more surface tests, which got abolished accordingly.

The idea, beaches were a sanctum against radiation is wrong again. Sand is ground down mountains in case you wondered. Some are highly radioactive. But of course, UV light is harmful radiation as well.
AI will increasingly replace human decisions wherever it's feasible. This includes recruiting and filtering candidates. Management will love the idea of replacing low-level labour, even at the expense of customer and employee dignity.

It will also make it much easier to spam convincing job applications, so you'll end up with bots talking to bots, and people on both ends being slightly worse off.

Except, you don't own or control any of these sites or services. You're merely a tenant without any power. You're open for many threats outside your control:

1. Service shutdown

2. Price jacked up

3. Your account/instance terminated

4. Data abused

And many more. It's almost guaranteed you'll basically be hold hostage at one point.

So, if you're arguing against people having the ability to host on devices they own, you'd need a better argument, one that specifically show how that would be destructive and harmful so that they shouldn't have this freedom.

> My phone is half a meter away from my computer, it shouldn't need to be this difficult!

FWIW, that's possible today on Android (not necessarily tomorrow, not necessarily on iOS) - I can and do regularly move files around with rsync/scp courtesy of termux, either by running the command on the phone or just running sshd on the phone (which does, in my setup, need to be manually started; I don't know if that's inherent or could be changed) and then running the transfer from another machine.
The problem is that "scientific dissident" is a meaningless term. You _must_ be a dissident to be a scientist. If you already believe you know everything, then there's no need to engage in the process of experimentation, recording, and ultimately discovery. As Feynman put it, "Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts."

"The science is settled" is a marketing term put forward by administrations that wish to manipulate the will of it's citizens. It's an inappropriate idea from an inappropriate place with inappropriate ends.
> The SMTP has provisions that account for the host server being powered off

But it's still built with the expectation that the recipient host will usually be available, and that unavailability is a transient condition -- a failure to contact the recipient SMTP server is a noisy failure, and, after the first few retries, most servers back off to one attempt every 8 hours. Mail servers which are only sporadically available would require some fairly substantial rearchitecture.

That's about it: meat 'substitutes' are about filling that space on your plate where hamburger or sausage used to be. Mostly to let people who want to reduce their meat intake, get their feet wet.

NOT to replace meat nutrition-wise. For example: protein content is often not that great, and relatively expensive per gram of protein, compared to say, dairy, nuts or legumes.

NOT to replace meat taste-wise. Maybe manufacturer meant to. But meat taste+texture is hard to imitate. Just appreciate these products for their taste, not as meat drop-in.

Same applies to plant based cheese substitutes. I happen to have a packet here:

Main ingredients: water, coconut oil, various starches & some colorant + "aroma's". Doesn't taste like cheese, almost 0 protein, salt (2g/100g) on the high side, no vitamins. Yet similarly priced as real cheese.

I'm happy to see these products & try 'm all. But most leave me unimpressed. And too expensive. If I want pea protein, I'll buy a bag of dry split peas, not highly processed product containing it.

I suspect most vegetarians & vegans are like that - they've moved on. Meat eaters either won't try these products, period, or they did once & weren't impressed.

If you want a hamburger that didn't involve an animal, or top your pizza with some 'fake cheese': sure why not. But that's about it.

I am looking forward to some other stuffs:

Solein: https://solarfoods.com

Although more protein supplement than "food", imho. But very interesting nutritional profile.

Some US company is doing similar thing.

And so-called "precision dairy": (iirc) yeast cells that produce protein which is chemically & structural very similar (if not the same) as those in cow milk.

Feed into existing dairy process, and voila: cheese, yoghurt, etc, etc, without a cow (or even grass!) in the loop.

Neither of these are approved / available in EU... yet. But will be, I think - these are not GMO's but naturally occuring organisms. Kind of like brewing beer.

This happened at my old job. I left because of RTO (after trying to come to a reasonable agreement with my manager). Between the day I put in my two weeks' notice and my actual last day, there were at least seven farewell emails from other devs. The company was about 500 people, so that's >1% attrition in two weeks.

The CEO spoke to me for the first time ever trying to get me to stay, offered me a gigantic raise, etc. Leaving was the best thing I've done for my career.
That's an intentionally vague answer, to the point that I need you to qualify it if you want me to take you seriously. Presently, I've been observing LLMs that retain 90% of their problem-solving ability with just 10% of the model size.

So would you expect that kind of attitude from your doctor and complain if you don't get it? Your lawyer? A police officer pulling you over? A judge? Your boss? Don't think so. So yes, with that (which is admittedly an assumption) in mind I don't think it's any kind of jump to say you think service industry workers are beneath you.

Verbal abuse and general surliness isn't the only alternative to the false sincerity and you immediately jumping to the opposite end of the spectrum is frankly just arguing in bad faith. It can just be a neutral interaction, you can require your employees to have have common courtesy and be polite without being completely servile and obsequious.

BEST HN THREAD EVER (and WOW is that an essential explanation of the first two Orbital albums)

is this where we talk about

- the 39:59 mix of The Orb’s “Blue Room” (which, like several other Orb singles, is better than the album version thanks to Jah Wobble providing a proper bassline)

- the academically-verified lack of repetitiveness in Autechre’s “Flutter”

- and Orbital’s “Criminal Justice Bill?” on the “Are We Here” CD single, which is four minutes of silence
>NixOS just makes the correct tradeoff here for `env` to be able to perform one of its main functions by putting it in a conventional location.

At that point you might as well do the same for sh and bash as it would also save a lot of unnecessary headache. Shebangs are not a necessary part of a distro. You can always call the interpreter directly and pass in the script.

I personally find the idea of disrupting the normal FHS for purity to be a cool idea, but if you are going to ignore that goal and compromise to increase compatibility with existing scripts I feel you might as well compromise that purity more to support bash as that will solve the users of the OS even more problems.

>What if I don't want to use the system bash (ever) because it's old?

When you are sharing a bash script with others you typically aren't going to want to use bleeding edge features. I don't see that as a big problem. For your own scripts you can always use the full path to whatever version you want.
This sounds like data that is difficult to collect and rather worthless.

You mention wanting to "skip the cringe moments" but would the movie still make sense? Why would you want to do that? And I can't think of another use case either.
Dissidence != Appropriate scientific skepticism.

I believe appropriate skepticism is part of being a skilled scientist, being a dissident is part of being a noisy scientist. These two do not always correlate with each other.

That said, standing up when it is right is a good thing. But the above is similar to reasoning that I hear from a more anarchic political view, and I do not generally agree with that way of handling issues or doing science.
Yeah but I'm asking how does that help? As the phone hops around, the IP address will change, whether it's v6 or v4. Are they expecting IPv6 will be stable no matter where in the world you travel?
>Phones go into tunnels, run out of battery, and go indoors where there's a poor signal or none at all.

i.e. when you can't take a call or a text or read a social media notification. Why does this need to be always-available if those don't?
It's funny because it's this, turning inward and waging war on ourselves after there wasn't an obvious enemy anymore that's responsible for the decline the upstream comment was talking about. Post WWII through the 90s saw massive increases in global standard of living, 2020's the west has gone back to religious squabbles over absurd ideological things. Watchmen had a similar idea.
I saw some statistics showing that the majority of people in the US don't even have broadband (speed) internet, let alone a second computer.

Here's an uncomfortable thought: The modern day personal website is someone's tiktok profile page. And it's thanks to the fact that everyone has a phone, and tiktok just works.

There's an opportunity to learn from this model, though I'm not sure what the lesson is.
every x86 has had halt. win95 was just not using it even though you could write a 10 line program to get context switched in when idle that would halt it. it was one of my first programs as a child on a 486 66 dx2.

i just had chat gpt generate said program and i think its very similar to what I wrote. I'm unsure if it ever did anything but i've always been interested in efficiency:

#include <stdio.h>

#include <windows.h>

void main() {

printf("Setting process priority to low...\n");

SetPriorityClass(GetCurrentProcess(), IDLE_PRIORITY_CLASS);

printf("Halting the processor when no other programs are running...\n");

I think there's a pretty big difference between "this is what our knowledge of medicine and most experts in the field are telling us to do now and it's the best answer we have so we're going to do it until the consensus in the medical community changes" and "the science is settled". Nobody was trying to manipulate the "will of the citizens". Everyone in the medical and public health field was trying to prevent mass casualties and complete collapse of the healthcare system to the best of their ability using the knowledge they had. Not being able to discredit random morons commenting on the situation with absolutely no expertise is an insane take.
I believe there is a reasonable consensus about representative democracy, where we name people to have the (hard) job of making informed decisions on how an administrative unit should be run, being a really good option (as opposed to absolutist monarchies and theocracies). Minor differences on organization of the branches exist (in some, the judicial branch is in part elected, and in others, some people inherit lifetime seats at the legislative), but the 3-branch thing seems to be mostly settled in democratic states.

There is no such consensus when it comes to how to best manage an economy.

It's not running on the phone but it's a personal static website behind a phone. I run a small weather station page I can access anywhere from my house which is on LTE/NR. LineageOS is on my phone and it does not block inbound connections to routed ipv6 addresses on T-Mobile (US). ipv4 goes through a CGNAT. Weather station is running weewx on a raspberrypi connected via wifi hotspot to the phone.

To handle the issue of ipv6 addresses changing frequently (daily?) I have ddclient update my AAAA record to my domain on cloudflare. I don't set a A record. Then cloudflare just proxies any ipv4 traffic to the ipv6 address so anyone with my URL can load the page.
