To quote the tweet:

> We have heard you. We apologize for the confusion and angst the runtime fee policy we announced on Tuesday caused. We are listening, talking to our team members, community, customers, and partners, and will be making changes to the policy. We will share an update in a couple of days. Thank you for your honest and critical feedback.

Let's break that down.

* DARVO - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DARVO

You might say "Gas lighting" or "Deflection" in colloquial terms, and then understand the 2nd sentence:

> We apologize for the confusion and angst the runtime fee policy we announced on Tuesday caused.

That is saying that we are confused, and experiencing angst. As if we do not appreciate or understand the harmless thing. It's an apology at first, but then simultaneously degrades the audience as "confused", as if the audience did not understand the message.

Nextly, we see:

> We are listening, talking to our team members, community, customers, and partners, and will be making changes to the policy.

Take note the ordering of the 2nd list, and the weird run-on of the first list into the second. They are "Listening" and "Talking" to... The author of these words seems to the type of mind who wants to emphasis the fakeness first, but then minimize the reality last. Read that as "we are not listening, and will be talking to...", and the 2nd list goes the same way, pretty much ignore all the stuff up-front, and look at the last part where is says "partners". Full translation: "We are talking to our Partners, while monitoring dissident employees (some of whom called in bomb threats to the SF office earlier this week), identifying defectors in the influencer community, and auditing belligerent customer accounts likely to evade the licensing.

> Thank you for your honest and critical feedback.

Again, look at the last part of the writing... the writer does that, they probably mentally compartmentalize the bad news, and mention last. We are reading a not so masterful manipulator, somebody not quite proficient in their personality disorder, whatever that might be... Borderline, Sociopath, Narcissist, or whatever....
The biggest I’ve seen is that talk therapies don’t work well if an underlying sleep concern is not addressed. Sleep as the parasympathetic nervous system is predictable from a more primitive model whereas a cognitive - behavioral model assumes thoughts can drive recovery.
I wonder where the 1942 comes from. At that time nobody knew that there would a test named Trinity and trinitite was also 3 years away.
I listened to that, it was good! I was surprised there is an entire podcast about array programming. Looking forward to future episodes, and also to trying AoC with BQN again in a few months.
So happy that others are getting behind this idea. Protecting critical backend state by establishing a state machine that owns it makes so many things so much easier to reason about.

Recently opened up access to a backend as a service [0] for running arbitrary state machines as reliable workflows or real-time backends. After building a bunch of systems on top of this, I'm definitely convinced that this is a better way to structure a lot of systems.

If you follow master, you’ll occasionally run in to crashes, which is true of any developing language. If you don’t want that, follow tagged versions.
What an odd form of comparison, Military spending is almost entirely a function of tax, not Gross Domestic Product of a country.

But taking just one aspect of that graph – overall military spending - it's true that spending has decreased since we were involved in a full scale occupation of another country, assaulting several others, then whack-a-moling the downstream consequences of those wars. It is also (in my humble opinion) extremely disingenuous to not include the direct financing of another country's war (Ukraine) which at this time is something around 80 billion.

- Also something to note is underneath your gdp<>government-spending graph it states spending in 2022 was 746 billion, predicted to increase to 1.1 trillion next year.

While spending on education was 42.5 billion in 2022.

You are correct in that we need to educate people better, it is not accurate to say we could solve a plethora of societal issues with just a fraction of the financial fuel the military industrial complex requires.
“ Blaming anything or anyone for events of history is short sighted.”

Surely you don’t mean that no one is responsible for anything that has happened?
Western society peaked in the 80s so maybe we should listen to some of the arguments from back then.

Wow that is pretty severe, I would imagine cables would be much easier to EMP shield, by laying them in grounded metal pipes. Because this has to be done for the entire length this is still a huge problem of course. And not really feasible over long distances.

But a microwave antenna (especially one that size) is basically one giant EMP collector :) It's pretty impossible to protect that. I guess if they did that, they would have just let the receivers blow and replace them later with spare parts shielded inside the building. You can't practically shield them from EMP because then they won't work anymore, and overdimensioning them so they could cope with the EMP would be almost impossible considering the huge gain of those antennas.
Fascinating stuff. Thanks for sharing.
archive.is has some kind of really aggressive captcha protection set up. I find it doesn't like public DNS servers like Google's or CloudFlare's: on my home wifi which points to 8.8.8.8 I always get the captcha loop, but then if I switch to accessing over a cell network it works fine.

That's it, keep moving the goalposts ....

BTW, did you also overlook the part about Switzerland requiring military training and service for (essentially) all able-bodied men in a certain age range? Whereas in the U.S., pretty much any untrained bozo who never served can buy high-powered weaponry and strut around cosplaying in camo and body armor, ostentatiously toting the weaponry and shouting belligerent slogans. (It's been my untutored conjecture that most such folks are trying to compensate for deep-seated fears that they don't really measure up in the masculinity department, although there also seems to be a certain percentage of sociopaths in the mix as well.)
Unraid is a pretty friendly OS with easy disk adoption and nice gui for managing docker containers.

I'm curious about the "change channels to be mpmc" one. Why isn't it backwards-compatible?

About `std::env::set_var()`, there was a proposal for a `#[deprecated_safe]` attribute that triggers a warning if the function is used without an unsafe block, and eventually make that a hard error in future edition.
Hmm, you’re right! And yet, all the sports nutrition that I’ve been reading is 1g per pound, not per kilogram. Sedentary lifestyle vs not, I suppose.

Huh, is this story a metaphor/allegory for something?

Why not 'challenge' yourself if you've already done quite a bit of groundwork?

Or at least the comment suggests you've already put more thought into this than me.
> I'm kinda of surprised the mountain was named for him, given that.

Consider that the largest military base in the United States was named in honor of a general of the CSA. On the other hand, he was generally regarded as an incompetent leader hated by his own men, and that "the losses suffered by Bragg's forces are cited as highly consequential to the ultimate defeat of the Confederacy", so maybe it makes sense why the Union would want to memorialize him...
I think they are similar but a little different. From Dagger's website "Dagger is a programmable CI/CD engine that runs your pipelines in containers" Kargo is a tool that works with your existing CI and CD (Argo CD) to help promote your code from one stage (Dev, UAT, QA, Prod, etc) to the next.

Kargo has native support for Argo CD today, but one of it's goals is to be agnostic and could probably work with Dagger or other tools in the future.

No version of this bill was ever known as "Delete Act". Press outlets just invented that. There is a proposed federal "DELETE Act" with a similar purpose.
How exactly is that better the two mothers? Do you have evidence?
The US can only do this because it has sufficient power to force other countries to report information on how much US citizens make to the IRS. If the UK tried making the same demands, the most likely responses from other nations would be "screw you, no" and "that sounds like a lot of work, pay us."
Peaked for whom exactly?
In the fitness world it it’s thought of as g/lb so if a 170lb person wants to gain muscle (or preserve it on a diet) they should aim for roughly 170g of protein a day minimum. There is more nuance to it than this (should be g/lb of lean muscle mass for example) but as a rule of thumb it’s pretty good and proven to be effective at building/maintaining muscle.

It sounds a lot but it’s not too hard to hit even without whey supplementation. Anyone who has focussed on nutrition and build muscle/strength will have been at this level (or higher) for weeks and months on end.
What does fiber have to do with protein intake? They're essentially unrelated, besides fiber and protein both being high satiety (fiber being essentially infinite satiety to calories).
I had a similar reaction, although I cannot blame the crew for following orders. It does seem to change the nuance of the meaning of the signatures, though.
The point is that it’ll end up that way, so just embrace it from the start.
Java 21 Brings Full Pattern Matching [video]
based on what metric?
Not the OP, but after a lot of messing with software software and OS RAID, Raid Cards and mother boards, dedicated loud Dell servers, UnRAID, this that and the other thing over years and decades, I just set up a big Synology device 5 years ago. Since then, I've had a NAS that just worked. I have data, it's there.

I do online backup to a cloud provider, and a monthly dump to external USB drives that I keep and rotate at my mother in law's house (off site:).

More than any technical advice, I'd strongly urge you to check and understand honestly whether you're looking for "NAS" (a place to seamlessly store data) or "a project" (something to spend fun and frustrating and exciting evening and weekend time configuring, upgrading, troubleshooting, changing, re-designing, replacing, blogging, etc). Nothing wrong with either, just ensure you pick the path you actually want :->
I love that an entire website was made around this, without any attempt to sell me anything. So rare to see that these days
The only time I've used RAR is for Usenet downloads where there are also PAR files to repair any missing segments. And that was a decade ago.

Saving 25% compression vs zip/gzip on your 500 MB of code/text files doesn't matter anymore in 2023, all the files we really want to compress are already compressed (media files)
Cheers to those guys. I never understand the thought process of obstructing the use of materials that are so old in video-game-years. Without the community they (these assets) will just sit in the closet and die.
Unless someone is severely disabled, spousal support is a horrible thing. Even worse are the states that make it compulsory after a certain number of years.

Child support makes sense in theory, but is butchered in practice. The judgements often have little to do with how much it actually costs to support the child and is more about a percentage of income.

Let's not forget, the state is the third party in a divorce. They do not want to support anyone when they can force one of the other parties to do so.

Incredible marketing model, software license as trophy. This is like the opposite of that featureless $1,000 iPhone app.
"Western society peaked in the 80s"

By what metric?
The current paradigm doesn’t work so maybe the “70s” had it right. Our kids are more depressed than ever, the parents have been run haggard due to wage declines with women joining the workforce, care of our kids is outsourced to daycares, archaic child support laws essentially end up putting men into defacto slavery for decades, no fault divorces are inherently unfair etc.
By reports this is one of the F35B variants, a VTOL capable jet. Like the V-22 Osprey, it is pushing mechanical complexity maybe too far and has been a program rife with troubles. Compared to the F35B, the normal variants have been essentially trouble free.

Trying to make a whole mechanical system to redirect 40500lbs of thrust isn't super reliable.

There is some sort of lesson there that applies to the software engineering realm.

EDIT: Ooof, looks like there are some VTOL fanatics in the house. Who knew that unreliable military hardware was a fetish.
Headlines kick harder when you leave out divisors.
But the West also underestimates, for example, cheap Iranian drones that can be easily mass produced and cost much less than the missiles to shoot them down.

> user id is encoded into the file system

This is kind of unavoidable, but you do have 32 bits to play with. Windows did it slightly better with the SID: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/identity/ad...

> which makes it very difficult to contain users to things they should control

It's not the file system that's the problem here, it's that "everything is a file" is not true for a whole bunch of important stuff that you might want to apply access control to on a UNIX system. Such as the right to initiate TCP connections. This sort of thing is why containers are so popular.

NIS and LDAP do let you have a large number of users. Heck, we managed a few thousand users in /etc/password back when I was running https://www.srcf.net/ .. in 2000.
So, let's prioritize helping folks have happy/healthy relationships?
Technically I'm in Europe (the continent, but no longer the economic zone) in the UK. It's been years since I've really had to handle coins, but even so, it takes holding it in my hand for maybe 30 minutes to cause the blistering and that's not something I've needed to do very often. Nickel allergy is fairly common but I understand mine is a fair bit more sensitive than most. The main inconvenience from it is having to be very careful about what I buy if I'm going to need to touch it - no metal framed glasses, my wedding ring is zirconium, and the rivets on most jeans will burn me even through my underwear. When a few years ago I found a pair that I liked the fit of, and also had nickel-free rivets, I bought 10 pairs.

>The scholar to whom the question was directed looked annoyed and struggled to formulate an answer. The panelists shifted in their seats. The moderator stepped in, quickly pointing out that poverty makes it harder for people to form stable marriages. She promptly called on someone else.

If we valued free speech more, we might be able to have more open, honest conversations in the public realm here.

In a society where people are easily fired, or have their lives disrupted in other ways, for expressing the wrong opinion or saying the wrong thing, there is no upside to having this conversation. The only rational decision is to ignore the question and move on.

The fewer conversations we have, the less likely we are to be able to solve problems.

Bob Mercer said that they were right 50.75% of the time.
Every single person is responsible for their own voluntary actions. There is no sophistry and no amount of lies stacked on each other that can take away that responsibility.

If you’re interested in the general concept of sidenotes and labelling figures in the margin, here’s my take on it for further inspiration: https://chrismorgan.info/blog/2019-website/, with https://chrismorgan.info/blog/rust-fizzbuzz/ exhibiting figures.

Do search around for other sidenote implementations, too. I like the markup and presentation I end up with, but you’ll also find other approaches to mobile support in particular, involving things like checkbox hacks to toggle visibility, or just flat-out requiring JavaScript.
There's a modest sized outpost for "programming [ed: and other manipulations] to the people" interests at https://malleable.systems . Huge fan.

Starts off with the perfect Lick quote,

> The user wants open software, software that can be modified, and that can participate in a progressive improvement process.

I feel like software is still in some pre-history phase, a time before you can just open up the editor & look at the flow-based view of where data came from & went, before you can openly hack around with that flow. The software all seems so hard & opaque to users, not at all in it's soft form when it is delivered. I believe over time in a softening of software, where we advance into a malleability.

HyperCard & Apple script are two bright points in this history. But today they seem mostly historical. Apple had significant presence in this drive enable users to augment, but like the industry as a whole, this vision has mostly rusted out.
It's paradoxical.

Historically wealthy and high status people were "fatter" and had pale skin. It signaled that you had ready access to food and didn't work outside.

Now high status people are thin/muscular and have tanner skin - cheap and quick food is terrible for you and it signals you have the time to workout, pay for a trainer/gym membership, go on vacation to sunny destinations, aren't chained to a desk/working retail, can pay for and have access to high quality and fresh foods, etc.

More and more high quality and healthy food is expensive and/or requires more time to prepare and plan. If you're shuffling between multiple minimum wage jobs you're often eating fast food all day because you either can't afford or don't have time for anything better.

Then start looking at food deserts[0]. Stop at a bodega in a poor neighborhood that serves as the only food source around and prepare to be shocked at the absolute garbage they have available that's still covered by SNAP.

I think there's a good chance you are right, but academically-minded people have a tendency to hastily dismiss hypotheses that run counter to what they believe is a correct theory. I can imagine someone dismissing the idea that a psychological pathology is related to a neurological one because the latter is in the "wrong" part of the brain for the symptoms the former presents.
The difference between the US and China is not a central government which is empowered to make projects and a federalist system which gives undue influence to small interests.

The difference is that the US is a democracy and China is a communist dictatorship. Tens of millions didn't die in china because a huge national projects; they died because they were ruled by a totalitarian dictator who had no regard whatsoever for the value of human life, and who was empowered purely by the threat (or the guarantee) of violence and not by the consent of the governed. There is an ocean of difference between western democracies and communist dictatorships, and it's not how we allocate authority to public works projects

I'm not a cryptography expert, but from my research, shouldn't it be possible to verify quota on ZKPs server-side? Essentially, the server doesn't need to know the specifics of the user's identity, just that they possess a valid token and haven't exceeded their quota.

You can use search engines like Google without being logged in. When combined with tools like uBlock Origin and Cookie AutoDelete, it becomes more challenging for them to build a singular profile about a user, especially one tied to payment methods such as credit cards.

I genuinely appreciate what Kagi is doing, and I'd absolutely be willing to pay for their service, because if you're not paying for a service, you're the product. I trust companies to uphold their privacy promises, but "Trust is good, but proof is better." ;)
