> Both of those things can be true.

Both of what things? It is true, as I said, that both Musk and Galloway are middle aged divorced guys. Other than that, I'm not sure what you mean.

> banning someone because they won't meet you is bad form, especially if you claim to be a free speech absolutist.

Agreed, but I'm not sure why irrelevant demographic traits had to be brought into the discussion. Being middle aged and divorced didn't cause Musk to do what he does. It's unnecessary defamation of a large and varied group of people. It's essentially no different from ridiculing the physical appearance of someone you don't like.
My work Windows server VM boxen started off life largely as 2008 R2, one was 2008. They are all now mostly 2022 and converted to EFI with secure boot - some of them put up quite a fight. Not a large setup - three DCs - one in my home attic for DR, a File n Print n NPS n CA box, a Trellix (Nee McAfee) ePO and a few more bits n pieces.

sfc /scannow can fix issues but it is not a panacea and certainly not the first thing you should reach for. It sorts some aspects of .dll hell but that is an app thing and a complex one.

As you say, get the logs out and your stethoscope. Sadly most of us don't have access to source with Windows, so we rely on intuition, 30 years of experience and some really cunning search queries. Even though Google search is largely wank, a decent and carefully curated ublocklist can winnow out the worst rubbish.

Having said that, Outlook is totally damned when it comes to logs. Outlook trace logging is an Outlook programmers debugging tool only and of absolutely no use for a sysadmin. You literally fly blind with Outlook and are best off looking at Exchange logs instead. The Outlook devs are only interested in themselves and no one else. You do get CTRL - r click on Outlook icon to unlock the connectivity checker to give you absolutely no help apart from showing how bad things are. The autodiscovery checker is handy and I have fixed configuration issues with it.

top three reasons to not use ruby for me are:

1. it's not compiled and evaluated at runtime, which make it harder to test. Pesky undefined variables in edge case code..
2. deployment is tough when it's a ton of small files. Most things compile to a single executable binary
3. it's not concurrent or parallel easily. You're not going to easily use all your cores and also develop sane software.
How to Produce Green Hydrogen for $1/Kg
This is so very much worth a read. It is almost literally mind blowing once you realize how deep the exploit goes.
As someone unfamiliar with the field I’ve read github page and didn’t find answers to things I was curious about regarding this project.

So out of curiosity I wrote simple basic questions:

“Why this tool was created? What was the reason for creating such tool? Why it was named this way?“

Suggesting that if I didn’t figured it out by myself perhaps some one else who also wish to join the field and looking for entry point to try something in practice would also be confused and thus answering those simple basic questions would really help to the beginners.

With experience of entering into many new fields I know that usually there is a lot of confusion in the beginning about basic stuff .

I also suggested that those are obvious reasons why people ask questions and didn’t expect to be ‘bullied’ for basic simple questions. There were no one word of aggression in text. Perhaps seeing aggression there requires certain level of misplaced imagination.

> Especially the one about the name, is the name offensive or what? To me it sounds quite benign.

So why the simple question doesn’t sound benign to you?
Usually there is a fun story about the name for example GNU is Not Unix etc … and sometimes it holds some clue about functionality and then it’s easier to remember.

> Because

well… it’s still unclear
I'm more concerned re: chemical sunscreens entering the bloodstream

It's really bad for in-product analytics. Slow and expensive to keep running on a 24/7 SLA.

Even with Vertica doing that, we're seeing 10x costs just doing back-office DWH. My job now is keeping Vertica running so we can pay our Snowflake bill.
Hmm, so would an Outlook server hit this if a bunch of mail servers did this?
No, this doesn't address the hardest part of ammonia production: getting hydrogen. Currently done primarily through gas steam reforming, we're a long way away from electrolysis being commercially viable.
No need to wait for browsers. You can just whitelist htmx and block any other javascript.
Very relevant article, considering today's LK-99 news.

Skepticism is at the core of an inquisitive mind, and scientists should be the first to be skeptical of their own work. This is part of being intellectually honest, and science depends on a balance of trust and healthy skepticism. Unfortunately, many get wrapped up in egos, and the publish-or-perish mindset, which corrupts the scientific process.

Skepticism in general is a positive trait to have, especially in today's post-truth world. Facts can be twisted or fabricated to serve any narrative, and being skeptical minimizes the chances of being influenced by propaganda and {mis,dis}information. This will become even more important as our information sources get corrupted by AI and deepfakes.

Schools should be preparing kids to be more skeptical, as it will be an invaluable skill in their lives.

> American students' attitudes towards their university. They also approach it with the same customer attitude, and fair enough, they do have to pay hefty sums.

For decades, spendthrift universities - including public universities[1] - have been selling their students into debt servitude, drastically expanding administrative payroll and exorbitant construction projects while simultaneously shifting teaching duties onto poorly paid adjuncts.

It would be nice if students could change the system, but they seem to have little say in the matter since university degrees are required for most jobs. Grad students are unionizing at least, but this is unlikely to decrease tuition, or costs for undergraduates.

If you're writing HTML directly and SFTPing into a server, you probably are also using a shared hosting platform that offers Lets Encrypt. You don't even need to touch a config file or install certbot in that case, you literally just click a button. If your host does not offer Lets Encrypt there are hundreds that will host bare files and do offer encryption, and migration is as simple as copy-pasting files and transferring the domain.

If the owners are unreachable or dead you have bigger problems to worry about then having to click through to an unencrypted site. Dead people can't pay hosting bills.

I get what you're saying with centralization but LE is not the only central point of failure here. The old web would not survive, say, VeriSign deciding to make .com worse or ICANN deciding to kill DNS. At least we can switch CAs.
Why all the moralizing? Deciding when to make breaking changes is hard. Deciding it's more trouble than its worth for the developers and the users usually shouldn't be ascribed to one of "ignorance, arrogance, or fear". It's just an engineering disagreement.

I'm trying really hard not to end this flippantly with "go touch grass" but I think the mood fits. Escalating appeals to emotion are unhelpful and "cringe" when trying to convince open source developers to add your pet issue to their roadmaps.
You used it as part of your insults towards him which in turn can make people feel like they're within a group of people that others do not like, understand or see as having or being 'problem'. Your wording also suggests that people with ADHD that aren't being treated (in a way that you approve of at least) cannot or should not be in CEO positions.

Hope that helps.

EDRs and Phishing are largely for staff/enterprise side if things, not the product itself usually. Alhough people should put EDRs on product servers, for Linux at least (imho) auditd logs centrally logged, configures and monitored qualifies as minimally viable.
I 100% share that feeling and would love to read the stories of businesses that failed.
I think both are related ;)
It's not like that's an official designation or anything. It's just something people say.

If you're looking to prove a prior fact in a court case, you're perfectly allowed to cite the Washington Post or the Boston Globe or anything else that has a good reputation. There are lots of "papers of record" in the US -- you're not limited to one per country:

I felt the same way about Rust's .await and .?; I think we're gradually converging on the idea that postfix operators are the right way to do 1-argument functions. I'm not remotely convinced that RPN is a readable idea in general, but when we have a pipeline rather than a tree, writing it left-to-right is the winner.
Wouldn't it being hidden make it much more attractive? You can put junk it in and users won't complain, and if they do want it you have a help article on your site.

> I just wish everyone learned number theory and geometry and algebra and physics and and and...

I'm less concerned with everyone having knowledge as much as I am concerned about everyone acting like an explorer and finding joy in the exploration simply for exploration's sake. Having targets and goals are good, we probably shouldn't always wander aimlessly (though this shouldn't be discouraged!), but concentrating too much on the target takes away the joy and makes us miss many beautiful things. I cannot find a stone that was turned which didn't end up providing utility, even if it didn't at the time. The competition can make the game more fun, but too much ruins it. It makes us loose sight that it is a game in the first place and why we play. We enrich the lives of ourselves and others by playing it, but we can also have full lives were we to all stop. I think we sometimes forget why we're playing and just do because others are or because personal gains. It's like trying to pick winners in a cooperative never ending game. Reminds me of my friend who would jokingly ask "did you win" when I mentioned a recent game of DnD. The fierce competition also discourage others from playing, but I just wish I could show them how beautiful and awesome this game is. To not let some assholes ruin our fun.

I think currently we have lost sight of why we play the game and are too caught up in figuring out who the best player is. In reality such a thing is non-determinable due to the system complexities and timescales. I also don't really see any good utility other than an ego boost but comes at the cost of hyper-focusing on temporarily near outlook rather than exploring further. We need many types of explorers and I'm not quite understanding why we've structured the system to reward only one type. Simplicity?

Except there's no credible espionage from china through TikTok, but Twitter was used to destabilize middle-eastern governments which lead to a refugee crisis in Europe.
The fact is that in a sizable portion of the world (and I am not talking about Cuba, China or some leftist south american government, I am talking about western europe, and western european countries with a higher GDP per capita and higher HDI than the US, like Switzerland, Sweden and Norway)

a) Insulin is cheaper, a fucking lot cheaper
b) Its prices (along with a lot of other drugs) are regulated.

I haven't yet heard from my friends in Switzerland, Norway or Belgium any sad story about people rationing their insulin supplies because it is mind bogling expensive, and shortages are also unheard of.

Insulin is basically a solved problem. I don't care about an hypothetical techbro sad story of how he won't invest his billions to disrupt the insulin market because bad government doesn't allow it to sell untested products.

> Author here; I was under the impression the quote from the Vim issue tracker in §3.1 was a good cornerstone for the article, which is that accepting and implementing an existing standard—however hard it might be for developers now—is good for users in the long term, because it makes life easier for them.

In my opinion, ~/.something is easier for me as a user than using the various XDG directories. But in practice, I really don't care what scheme an application uses.
Windows is particularly odd, because the file explorer menus are so similar that you wouldn't see the difference if you weren't looking for it.

The simplest way, as rdedev is describing, is to do Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) in your prompting. This would require the addition of a vector database and a text embedding model. There are many open source / local / private options for that.

The steps would then be:
1. Embed your private data in chunks and store the resulting embeddings in a vector database
2. In your prompting workflow, when a user queries the chat model, embed their query using the embedding model
3. Retrieve the most similar chunks of text from your vector database based on cosine similarity
4. In the chat response, provide it the context of those chunks of text

For example, if you asked "who have I discussed Ubuntu with?", it might retrieve emails that have similar content. Then the model will be able to answer informed by that context.

That’s not if you are going to junk your car rather than resell or use it for another purpose. If your car is good enough to be resold, the damage is limited unless the buyer of the used car wouldn’t have otherwise gotten a new or used car. But induced demand is a thing, if all rich people kept their cars for 10 years, the used market would be decimated and a lot more people would take public transit, so there is that.
How NewsGuard Became the Establishment Guard Against Independent Media
No need to fine tune the model. The model could be augmented with retrieved context (as discussed in my sibling comment).
Right. But the comment above said the issue is with the copy made for training. The "read it and memorized it" copy, not the "write it back down" copy.
Even if you haven't, passing along a checksum of the correct original would still allow it to be used safely. Decompression would either be correct or fail to decompress (outside of considerations of intentional hash collision attacks).

Has this really been happening?
But the reason you go with private cloud is because you want to give developers in your organization the ease of use and velocity of their peers using the public cloud, while footing the bill to pay far far more than you would have paid to any public cloud.

Essentially, private cloud is for deep pocket organizations (some Fortune 500, governments, militaries, etc). No one is running a private cloud for a small startup. The closest you'd get to a "private cloud" is a bunch of servers running a kubernetes (or swarm) cluster.
That's actually kind of nice. In case their computer system gets borked, you have positive affirmation/defense.
Isn't it fairly common to be not especially interested in what those other people over there are doing amongst themselves - even if it's genocide or censuring dissidents or whatever - and to care a lot more about important local news like which faction gets to impose their values on the public school curriculum and what color suit the president wore left week?
Or subtle success, depending on whether that's sequence or simultaneity..
Why you think manufacturers went into touch surfaces in cars much to dissatisfaction (that eventually caused some to back up) of customers?

Every button needs a bit of plastic moulded, a (good quality) button, backlight, often LED to signal whether it is on or off, and whole control block needs microcontroller to pack it into CAN bus and CAN bus connector to send.

Make whole thing a touch surface and you're saving buck or two on buttons alone and your plastics don't need to articulate (another savings).

Move that to the touchscreen controls, and as screen is already there, more savings!
Corey is probably right, but id chunk an extra 10-20% of overprovisioning/undercounting on actual bill here and considering they OWN the fleet, they probably went out of there way to have disaster recovery ready to go in a bunch more contexts.
No that’s not ought - it’s how it is. It’s reality. Not how reality ought to be.

It’s not dystopian to say you need practical skills that are useful. Once you’ve established that then go learn whatever you want.

A language and internet barrier makes it difficult to find unbiased news and views. Most of us have no primary sources, everything is relayed to us by:

- People who decided to leave China, or whose families decided to leave

- People who decided to learn Chinese

There can be a political motivation for all three of these.

Yes it is, but, as you say, genocide could probably get airtime instead of the president's suit.
Not novel. Very much the opposite. The article mentions that the original Cu2S resistivity measurements date from 1951.
Probably clickbait, but increasingly I wonder whether things like this can be chalked up to the fact that most online publications are pretty much amateur hours these days. They might have just genuinely not thought about the difference, or picked up on it. Saying it's clickbait implies a level of sophistication I'm no longer sure most newsrooms possess. If it were only that the headlines were misleading, I'd say it was an irresponsible editorial policy, but you see so many basic mistakes in the copy as well that, at the very least, it would have to be a combination of bad ethics and incompetence.

Did the Times grant a license to every router on the internet to transmit its intellectual property to other routers? If not, the judge should grant an injunction contingent on requiring the Times to verify that every person who accesses their content is doing so only over routers and other devices with express written authorization, for every step in the process. Maybe even extend it to browsers and client libraries for encoding/decoding, to be accurate.
