Lol. I lived through the 80s and 90s.

I don't need history books and I'm not going to correct you. It's a waste of 'breath' if your intial reaction is that.

It is easy to doubt, doubt is cheap.

When the time comes to say 'I told you so..' I won't want to and you won't want to remember.

Tell me why deaths of despair have jumped up 100k. Then I'll accept your casual dismissiveness. Dismissiveness that is ripe 'online'.
Theres literally zero chance for us to know if that is true or not, you're taking the word of a blatantly corrupt government on face value. Given that, it's probably a false story and the money has gone somewhere else.
Sure, but are basic git operations the same as Github features (PRs, Code Review, Actions, etc.)? In any case. Leaving Github in defiance of 2FA requirements seems ill-conceived.

Google Docs doesn’t use Wasm, from what I can tell. The move towards using canvas/gl/webgpu over DOM for performance is orthogonal to using Wasm. They go together nicely, but if you’re worried about DOM being replaced, Docs is a good example of how that will happen with or without Wasm.

Another pattern I’ve seen is to render DOM on top of a canvas, with UI elements done in the DOM, and high-performance graphics on the canvas. This seems to be a good balance. https://x.com/paulgb/status/1688919428740816896?s=46
Great article. Some petty nitpicking:

> "Just use LHA format archives. It’s the standard compression tool on Amigas and even though there are modern (and technically better) alternatives ..."

LZX had supplanted LHA already by 1994.

> "a 7Mhz 68000 16-bit CPU"

It's a "16/32"-bit CPU, since it provides 32-bit operations/immediates and 32 bits worth of data- and address registers. For all practical accounts of programming the CPU it's a 32-bit machine, no matter the bus shoveling data 16 bits at a time behind the scenes.

> "... but all of what follows is in the context of developing a systems tool in C as that's the language of AmigaOS"

Not sure how to interpret this. You're in no way locked to C if you want to program for AmigaOS. You can load and interact with all of the libraries etc. of AmigaOS in Pascal, E and what-have-you, since there are headers available for almost any language you may want. Even assembly, which for the Amiga is/was a far more common choice for OS-friendly applications than people think.
> battery and beyond can definitely be justified where appropriate

How do you define "appropriate" and how do you possibly justify initiating violence?

Tolerance is not the only other alternative. You can vehemently oppose extremist opinions through debate without resorting to physical assault.
That 80% figure feels very high. I suppose it depends on how a women is counted first of all(for example capable of reproduction). But then how many of them actually died in child birthing process without producing any off-spring that survived.
No offense, your friend is also handling dozens/hu dreds of people's lives, day in day out, and merits all the respect he can get.

I've read that one of the last task of a blacksmith apprentice is to make all the tools a workaday blacksmith would need to use to blacksmith. IE your last lesson is to make your own anvil, your own hammers, tongs, etc.

At $DAYJOB I wrote a bunch of scripts to mechanize building ZFS arrays for whatever expected deployment I'd imagined on that day. Among the tasks was to make luks encrypted volumes on which to put the zvols, standardize the naming schemes, sane defaults like ashift=12, lz4 compression, etc. (this was well before encryption was part of ZFS; I haven't updated the scripts since to support encryption in zfs since it's not really been a problem this way)

I don't remember many of these flags now, but have a script as reference for documentation, and others on the team don't need to know much about ZFS besides run make-zfs-big-mirror or make-big-zfs-undundant-raid0 and magic happens.

Eventually maybe even that stuff will be automated away by our provisioning, if we ever are in a position to provision systems more than 20 times per year.
> is there really a "desire to have kids"

Sometimes the parental instinct or desire activates the moment the kid is born, but is not present before that. It it an interesting phenomenon.
Yes, absolutely! But you probably won't get a registered letter about it. Maybe a nasty call or an email. I remember having to call into the @Home NOC and have them re-scan my server.
Ok, last question! How are you planning to build those walls? Where are you going to get all that stone? Have you priced out having someone build it for you?

My rough calculation says 20 acres is about 1000 feet per side, 3 meters is 10 feet, 10 meters is 32 feet. So you'll need roughly (1000*10*32*4) 1,280,000 cubic feet of stone. That's a cube just over 100 feet per side. That's a lot of stone! If you're planning on something like that garden in Fresno, are you planning to excavate it from the land itself? If you could slice 1.2 feet of stone from the entire 20 acre property you'd have enough, but you'd probably need to move a lot of topsoil to get to it.

If anything the engineering effort for the walls the by far the most impressive part! A thousand years from now they'll wonder what it's purpose was.
Yes, I’m not sure nice is the word I’d use.

The problem is lots of economists at least seem to think that what makes something a science is "using math" rather than "validating or disproving theories via observation". I've even seen people sneer "mere heuristics" at suggestions to try that...
Because the traditional reason for census is taxation, voting, or military service, and in those cases you effectively only care about free adult males and count only those.

For example, the original Roman census, from which we take word 'census', registered and counted adult male citizens. They did list their wife, children and slaves as part of extra information about their household, but those dependents weren't part of the census itself, just an "attachment" to the recorded citizen just as the notes about their land and other porperty. Other people like single women or orphans would get reported by their guardians, but they as well explicitly weren't included in the "count of heads", which counts only adult male citizens i.e. those who can run households and own property, be recruited to fight, pay taxes, and vote.

In effect, the ancient world doesn't really consider persons or individuals, they care about households (represented by a single individual) and so register and count those.
If a literal product of the military-industrial complex, Captain America, and a liberal arts humanities professor, Doctor Henry Jones, Jr, can agree that punching actual Nazis is the right thing to do, I think the majority of society has pretty much decided that if your beliefs include genocidal ethnic supremacy and eugenics, a little battery is a valid and more pragmatic weapon than debate.

Edit: However, as the article goes to show, the evidence appears very much against the notion that the victim here was a Nazi, or even right-wing in any way, so the violence here was totally unjustified.

I have mine connected to a modern flat-panel display as I use an Indivision adapter, and there are other solutions which is fortunate as CRTs are getting very rare (and fragile!) now. Would still love one for the retro appeal, but I just can't justify it! The power draw from the base system is pretty small, I just checked the power meter my A1200 is plugged into, and powering it on jumped the draw from around 1.6A at 240V to around 1.77A.
The first thing I said was I don't find the body sacred. However this family was so worried about their child being unentombed they padlocked him to the casket. Sure, this wasn't what they imagined when they padlocked him, but they wanted him to stay buried.

Making art out of the bones would be better than parading the corpse around saying "look at how silly their beliefs were."
You could move to Europe, I've never seen screws and nails sold by anything except count, up to counts of 100-1000. Perhaps if I were to buy much more than that it would be by weight here.

Did you reply to the wrong comment?

I wasn't quoting from the article posted - I can't see where you quoted from OP's posted article - so I'm not sure what you mean. All I see is you referring to the guardian article as a "hit piece".

The other commenters are merely presenting the rest of the facts about him - I don't know why you're uncomfortable with this.

OP reads like something I have played devil's advocate for. In an earlier discussion about WA vulnerabilities, one of the reported bugs was that as implemented, Facebook could have added themselves silently to any group chat, thus receiving with plaintext copies of all messages sent in the group from that point onwards. I then extrapolated that if they so chose, they could change their plumbing enough to make all chats group chats - even when they were between two people.

To be absolutely clear, there was not - neither back then, nor since - evidence of this being the case. But the technical capability and potential for such subversion was there at the time. I have not followed the domain news enough to know whether this is still the case.

What is available to WA and thus to governments, is the traffic pattern part. Who communicates with whom, when, how large the messages approximately are, and so on. The stuff our industry and journalists at large have chosen to call metadata[tm].

I stubbornly call the whole thing for what it is: traffic analysis. Old-school style.
Yes, I'm not blaming the engineers. The company was dysfunctional. The Amiga was still an amazing platform from 1985 to around 1992, when you could get cheap 386 boxes with SVGA and Soundblaster cards. After that point, there was really no way back.

But it's true. Men don't have an expiration date on fertility like women do.

As they get older, the chance of random infertility increases but this is something that's present at any age.

The bigger impediment would be age difference though. I wouldn't want to have a child in my 50s as I'd be so out of sync with their life.
One thing I have been wondering about is how, concretely, in practice embeddings will be used. Will companies create embeddings for most / all content that they have? Will they create an embedding for every sentence, paragraph or page of text (or all of those). Will they store hierarchies of embeddings? Do they then store the original text so they can invert the process (that seems obvious)?

This could work in audiophile land.

Start a legend that the DAC sounds "digital", "harsh" and "jittery" if the USB-C plug is not inserted in the "correct orientation".

And of course, your device has a small LED near the plug which is green when plugged with the correct orientation.
In my personal experience the rich have a fairly bimodal distribution. My middle class friends have 1 or 2 kids. Most of my rich friends have 0 or 4+. The big families skew the average.

The best way to develop systems software for the Amiga will probably be cross-development from a more modern platform and programming language. LLVM is getting m68k support which ought to make this feasible in the future, including some recent feature updates https://m680x0.github.io/blog/2023/05/may-updates.html . Though some basic pieces are still missing, such as support for the Hunk format in the LLVM linker.

Bad outcome in what way? Even if you’re a so-called bad parent, they’ll still have a similar life expectancy, and a similar chance of creating grandchildren.

Maybe they won’t be an A student when they reach school but does it actually matter?

There’s kids who literally survived the Holocaust in Nazi Germany and lived very successful lives after.

That said there is a natural instinct to be a decent parent. You don’t really have to try or be ready to. Just need to be around. In my opinion it’s similar to the instinct to turn off a burning stove - a bunch of common sense stuff that requires zero planning.

Would you prefer he double down and not admit the elephant slaughter was a mistake?

Ruminants are not "the answer" to climate stability, and big meat is as pernicious as big ag or big oil or anything else, but neither are ruminants the foundational problem Monbiot et al claim. Our industrial approach to animal agriculture (to all agriculture, or all industry, for that matter) is closer to the root of the problem. Even closer to the root, I would argue, is a general predilection to exploit resources for short term benefit instead of entering balanced, reciprocal partnerships with the land and our fellow species for long term success.
> I'm always surprised that people think farming isn't like any other industry in capitalism.

They probably don't see farming as being like capitalism because farming is, with some exceptions, mostly socialist in nature – the workers own the means of production.

> They will aim to make as much profit with resources they have available.

That is certainly true, although not a feature of capitalism. Wanting something in return for offering something to another transcends capital ownership structures.

But particularly the post-1648 notion of compact integrated territory just isn't there in premodern times except in a few exceptional cases, and population counting in the modern sense is bound up in that. But to take a particularly egregious case in the Holy Roman Empire a person might have three legal "existences" from the state's standpoint: one as a mediate vassal, one as an imperial knight, and one as a delegate of the church, and by the thought process of the HRE that was three different "persons" in one body.

Looking at things from the perspective of the species is not equivalent to looking at things objectively. Hell, there is no such thing as an objective measure of life. How can I objectively measure that a life is worth living? What if my child only lives for a few years, in agony due to getting cancer? Was such a short life worth the pain? It's impossible to say.
> When that is not by choice, regret can grow into pain.

This thinking is flawed. Here's the solution and your road to happiness. Foster the ability to accept, be grateful and by that weaken tendencies to regret. Because _this_ is the only difference between people who regret when they are old (or pretty much any other time in their life) and those who don't. That's all. What you practice is what you become. You practice regretting and you don't have children => you'll regret that. You practice regretting and you do have children => you'll either regret that or something else.

It's that simple.

> he tries to stay indoors and ignore the family celebrations outside.

there you have it - that's the attitude which has you likely end up lonely. he just keeps up the old pattern without reflecting. why not participate in one way or another. he doesn't have a son or daughter but he can have positive interactions. instead - he stays indoors to protect himself emotionally.

> So many ambushes and triggers for my anguish.

it's ambushes and triggers. looking for reasons of your pain outside of yourself is human and normal - we all do it - but it's often not going to make positive difference.

Usually the clones didn't have any Apple branding on the outside of the case. The ROMs would also be modified to not include the word Apple. However, that was usually about the extent of the changes on the ROMs, the rest were direct copies of the Apple II ROM.

There were a couple of companies that reverse engineered the ROMs and created clean room copies. Apple still sued them, but they lost in court. Franklin Computer sold a lot of legal Apple II clones in the US for example.
Robust Usage Reporting with Stripe
I recently looked into how to build out robust usage reporting with Stripe.
This comes basically from the set of challenges around:

- Workaround Stripe API Rate Limits

- Handle billing cycles and minimize usage drift into the next billing cycle

- Deliver usage exactly once to avoid under and over-billing

- Stripe requires to report usage on Subscription Items

You can read the full blog post here:

https://openmeter.io/blog/how-to-report-usage-to-stripe

I'm curious about what people do to build our usage reporting.
Do you use message queues? Workflow management software like Temporal? Simple CRON job?
When is more necessary? Who gets to decide? Pretty confident that's the job of law enforcement. Otherwise we have people getting assaulted and killed for thought crimes.

Do you support people assaulting teachers advocating for transgenderism? Others see that as an assault on children and view themselves as defending kids. Is bombing abortion clinics ok? Is violence ok on both sides of the political spectrum or just one?

I'm a Jew, I just laugh when I see a crowd of 10 inbred people waving Nazi flags on the side of the road. Violence against those committing violence against me and mine is always justified. Words though are not violence. Modern day America is not 1930s Germany.

We have multiple law enforcement agencies and prosecutors eager to engage those actively planning physical attacks on minorities, we don't need vigilante thought police.
(1) in my case, "bike fit" is more of a process than a one time thing. I keep tweaking it a bit through the year as I train (mainly saddle fore/aft, but handlebar height / angle as well as extra wrap / gel pads sometimes)

(2) the distance alone is just part of the job. I do about 5.000km a year just on the 2x10km a day commute. That's got little to do with mobility / intensity though. And does little to posture. For me,I kinda regret now doing only a couple of 200km+/day low intensity rides this season. This would have revealed the problems much earlier...

(3) 1200km is Paris-Brest-Paris. The time limit for that one is 90h, so 86 is "barely just made it". But I went full bikepacking on this one. Took way too much gear, which slowed me down a lot in the climbs. Also, couldn't use my aerobars in the groups, which put way more stress on my wrists than I thought it would. In the end, it's the combination of vibration / limited options for hand position change / too much weight (fault of weak core muscles / posture) and the long continuous repetitive stress that does the damage.

No, but you may not have read the article ;).

I've read the Communist Manifesto too. It is long on condemnation of the existing system and short on how their proposed alternative would work (because there wasn't one).

So what exactly is your proposed plan because it doesn't seem to be spelled out explicitly? You want to defund all of academia and let the market drive research efforts? I'm all for that. But the net effect would be that researchers have managers who hold them to account for their effort, same as any employees.

What I'm criticizing here is the frequent academic response that all the problems will be solved if the (very small) amount of supervision and bureaucracy they're put under is swept away. This critique is much like that Manifesto. It doesn't explain how anything will be fixed by embracing the chaos, as you put it. It just sort of asserts that it will.
