The basic idea is the suffering of animals, factory-farmed or not. If you can recognise that, good for you. How far you want to take that is entirely up to you.

Use it to give people jobs. Open up restaurants and build schools and hospitals. Help friends start their own businesses, stimulate the economy. Tony Hseih, RIP, didn't have a private air force, but he made downtown Vegas. Someone's already started an electric car company, and built a rocket company to go to Mars, so that's been done, but there's just so much out there. Rhianna's got her clothing line for people who aren't models. Cars and mansions are boring.

This is interesting, thank you for sharing. On a similar note now that school has started for kids, has anyone noticed an increase in RSV or other respiratory illness compared to pre-covid? I have 5 kids, three went through toddler years before covid and the other two were born after. The younger two have struggled with respiratory issues each fall for the past three years in ways we never saw in the older kids (including two ER visits for respiratory distress). Thankfully we're better equipped to handle it now: learning that opening the window to get cold air helps along with having an Albuterol nebulizer, though I can't help but wonder if other parents are seeing similar things. It all could just be totally random I suppose.
magic-wormhole (which croc was inspired by) also uses a public relay server: https://magic-wormhole.readthedocs.io/en/latest/welcome.html...

Any tool that wants to reliably connect two clients P2P is going to need something like a TURN server to traverse restrictive NATs. See for instance Tailscale's use of DERP servers: https://tailscale.com/blog/how-tailscale-works/#encrypted-tc...
Re: what is an operating system. A traditional definition is "kernel, drivers and shell". Here, "shell" should be understood somewhat creatively - as means to interact with the kernel - but the definition still stands.

Will it though? Its hard for me to imagine a judge ignoring the law because the computer says something else.
No exhaustive enum checks.

No Option type, so you can still use results of a function if it returns an error.
That really does make structs superfluous, doesn't it? The only additional thing needed is a syntax sugar, where the variant name can be avoided if there is only one variant.

My one issue with this is if it’s such a large lift, why burn the effort to just kick the can down the road? IPv6 has to happen at some point (and for AWS that point is sooner than most).

The better reason is the regionalization was probably a way to decrease blast radius in case of a service failure.

Also, AWS definitely did not regionalize all their services in 2016. IAM and certainly not DNS/Rte53 (part of the reason why they had their massive failure in US East 1 2-3 years ago)
You're right. I've noticed this pattern, too.
This looks very different; it requires having a server to temporarily store the file, while croc and magic-wormhole directly connect two peers (via a relayer) to send the file.
Just make all links nofollow? Only spammers really care about follow links. Maybe you get follow links when you upgrade to a paid plan?

This doesn’t completely solve it since people pay for any kind of link but it might reduce it.

> MITM for GitHub or another code forge is one of the things I'm least concerned about, because GitHub to me is a place where things go to be made public.

This is not just about secrecy, but also about integrity. Someone who MITMs your connection could not only look at the code you published, but also modify it. Then later someone who was trusting you (or possibly even yourself on a new machine) will end up downloading and running the modified code.
Humans have much more compressed models, trying to transfer human learning to machine learning could potentially be a way to get more efficient models.

The way we do that currently is by labeling data for training, but maybe there are better ways to do it. Like some semi code to write with hints for the model. Like, instead of labeled data, could have a series of "lectures" of labeled data that would lead to a good end state, instead of training on all the data in parallel.

You don't teach a child calculus by showing them a million calculus problems after all, you ramp up starting with simple numbers and then slowly ramping up with more concepts. But to do that we would need to change how we train models.

Edit: By doing it that way you could see the skill of the model after each lecture, and update the lecture to try to make the model learn better. Not sure how to do that, but such ways to work with parts of models is a potential way forward.
> if you want to learn a thing, just start learning the thing

This. After you have learned things feel free to come up with something others might want to spend their time on learning.

Yaml is the worst possible programming language, beating out even ant’s xml abomination.

Unfortunately most of the work of GitHub actions is configuring the runners and setup data, which requires you to use lots of yaml to invoke unvetted public repositories (actions) written in JavaScript to do what is easier done as shell scripts, and then use shell scripts to workaround the limitations of actions.

State is impossible, data is even more impossible, and caching is completely broken. And if you use your own runners, GitHub actions don’t even clean up their own garbage. I suspect it’s the same on public runners, but just statistically less likely to affect you, but a potential security vulnerability.

I’ve been working 2 things:

1. A front end that crafts GHA workflow yamls from a sane configuration with common tasks baked in.

2. An event and reporting system so you can see what is happening during a workflow — not after — without having to scroll through GitHub’s hideous log output in html or download and unzip the full log.

Do you actually have experience behind the advice you are giving? What you are suggesting is a terrible idea for most people. For a time, I used to think about that. Getting an SBA loan is really not as easy as people on the internet claim. Most companies fail, and a company that is founded with the premise of "leaving the rat race", as opposed to an idea that brings genuine value, is even more likely to fail and leave the owner in a worse position.

Better advice would be to consider changing or shifting skills towards something that's in greater demand right now and find ways of meeting people who can connect the OP with a job. Given that they are living with a friend, I don't think they have the leeway to start a business (and likely fail).

No. We implemented our own [1] for a few reasons:

* Scaling well to multi-TB DBs without pinning the write-ahead log (potentially filling your DB's disk) while the backfill is happening. Instead, our connector constantly reads the WAL and works well in setups like Supabase that have very restrictive WAL sizes (1GB iirc).

* Incremental fault-tolerant backfills that can be stopped and resumed at will.

* Flowing TOAST columns through seamlessly to your materialized destination, without requiring that you resort to REPLICA IDENTITY FULL.

* Being able to offer "precise" captures which are logically consistent in terms of the sequence of create/update/delete events.

The last one becomes really interesting when paired with REPLICA IDENTITY FULL because you can feed the resulting before/after states into an incremental computation (perhaps differential dataflow) for streaming updates of a query.

Our work is based off of the Netflix DBLog paper, which we took and ran with.

> Except it should be possible for someone to grow in their local community at any scale desirable (esp important for urban agg entrepreneurs) and accept EBT from anyone near by. As kid, i helped a lot in a few community gardens in the city where i lived (where there also happened to be a lot of people already on government assistance within walking distance) and being able to sell produce and accept EBT would have changed the economics completely and incentivized way more productive economics beyond the donation model.

Farmers markets allow this, at least in my area.

I don't think your objection is specific or related to EBT or delivery services, it really seems to be an objection to how economics works. Urban Agg is basically always going to (in the US) be vastly more expensive than (still localish but rural) agg.

> Current distributors would also have way more competition for the same pie of funds allocated for EBT, and help make the program more efficient.

There's like a dozen stores that sell produce and accept EBT within 3 blocks of where I live. None of them (that I know of) are chains or franchises.

Like, independently owned corner stores that contract with a farm whose name I know, and farmers markets that sell direct to consumer aren't subsidizing "big-co" distributors. I'm really not sure what you're getting at.
I still hold ~1M US worth of crypto all together, which is roughly the majority of my net worth. Been in since early days. If I'd guess I've probably "realized" (sold/used for payment for non-crypto goods or services) ~20~30k$ or so over the years? I still donate here and there and use it for payment for goods and services when I can.

I probably lost at least another ~1M$ worth (not projected: at the time. it sucks but you move on) through completely preventable ways when acting agains my own better knowledge. Check. Your. Backups. 3-2-1.

I made great "second-order-gains" from my dabbling in crypto I guess you can say, since I made a decent career in the crypto industry. Most people I know in the industry personally who have been around for as long are still invested to various degrees and defi people gonna defi.

I'd probably balance my portfolio more towards real-estate, commodities and maybe stocks if I'd be smart about it but I have enough of anxiety around taxes that I'm postponing doing anything that means having to file paperwork or that may be illegal. No accounts on exchanges. If it really comes down to it I guess I'd had to consider changing countries if my country of residence becomes hostile enough that using my crypto becomess untenable. I'm still very much a "true believer".

There are some musicians out there who rotate the sheet music 90 degrees. These people exist. But I don't see a particular reason why one orientation should be much better than the other—maybe your eyes are better at following horizontally or vertically. The standard layout matches instruments like the flute, the 90 degree rotated version matches instruments like a piano.

A pull back in "credit." This rule is a blunt instrument. It will reduce medical debt stress caused by the way American healthcare is financed. It will also allow more people to default on their medical bills even the ones that are reasonably priced and correctly coded. It's kind of like how the CARES Act for COVID-19 banned reporting mortgage forbearance to credit. Then Chase Bank narrowed new business to 20% down and excellent credit score in response to the future reduced information environment.

Since high deductible health plans become common (with multi-thousand deductibles) some hospitals and doctor's offices have required patient responsibility balances to be paid before the surgery or procedure. Some providers refuse service if you have past due bills with them. Providers in the medical-industrial complex already cherry pick customers by often not accepting Medicaid or Medicare. You may have noticed that doctor's offices are more likely to be opened in affluent areas. In effect your choices for local medical services can be affected by not just your health plan but the average purchasing power of the area!

After some more poking around, I’m finding out that the cloud features of this thing are pretty integral to the experience. This thing looks nice, but the enshittification scaffolding is too much. I knew the price was too good.

ORIGINAL COMMENT:

Wow, I've been out of the 3D printing world for a bit. I have a Monoprice Maker Ultimate (Wanhao D6, rebadged) that has a slightly larger build area, but otherwise it's bare bones on the firmware. I reflashed it with Klipper, and have an Octopi attached to it, but that still requires all sorts of futzing about to get it tuned right.

With multi filaments, all the tuning wizardry, and the quick-change nozzle, I might consider this.

The big thing that gives me pause is the closed nature of the platform. My current printer might be "just commodity parts" or whatever, but that can be huge plus! This feels very much like deciding whether to join the Apple Ecosystem™ or to stick with a beige box so I can run whatever OS I want. And that isn't an easy choice to make these days.
Chez Scheme outperforms Gambit in the benchmarks cited in a commment above.

Chez Scheme has a few interesting features that most compilers do not have, for any language:

"A source file can also be precompiled into a stored binary form and automatically recompiled when its dependencies change. Whether compiling on the fly or precompiling, the compiler produces optimized machine code, with some optimization across separately compiled library boundaries. The compiler can also be directed to perform whole-program compilation, which does full cross-library optimization and also reduces a program and the libraries upon which it depends to a single binary."
Make a wild guess
"The ancient Greeks thought" does not reflect what has happened in the two and a half millenia since. There's no debate over whether or not 1 is a number in modern mathematics.
Sure, if traditional sheet music is the qwerty keyboard, then this new version is a 2x expanded keyboard, with separate keys for all the capital letters.

I think there’s no denying that the particulars of the current system of musical notation is more or less an accident of history. But it’s also a local minimum—if you want to improve on it, you’re probably going to have to come up with radical changes.

Also if GitHub stars are anything to go off of, croc is several orders of magnitude more popular. Also croc is written in Go and compiles to a single binary, but there are some helper scripts in the repo for a few things. I really don't know why they said all that in their comment.
I haven’t seen the video (and likely will not) but there is a similar “shower thought” that vision is also energy of a given range of frequency, just like hearing.

You’d be surprised how few representative democracies suffer from the same whiplash inducing pendulum effect the US suffers from.

In most western nations the top civil servant and all those below them are non-partisan career civil servants that keep the ship running at all times and have better employment protections than the average employee (which already requires for cause in those countries).

A new Minister’s (Secretary in US parlance) role is mainly that of someone who plots a course and the civil servants in the ministry try to follow it.

As a side note, the concept or “government shutdown” is also entirely foreign in those countries, if not outright ridiculous.

It's been a while since I looked at Alacritty, so I've tried to double check things, but feel free to add corrections in the comments in case I get some of this wrong.

Features WezTerm has that Alacritty doesn't:

1) iTerm Image Protocol (inline image display)

2) Kitty Keyboard Protocol (allows for keybindings that otherwise wouldn't be possible)

3) Semantic prompts (e.g. you can configure a keybinding to navigate in your scrollback to the previous/next prompt)

4) Built-in SSH support. Creating new tabs or panes will each create a new channel in your existing session so you won't need to re-authenticate for additional tabs that you create.

5) Alternatively, you could use WezTerm's multiplexing support. Think tmux (remote sessions persist even when you disconnect, and reconnecting gives you all of the existing windows/tabs/panes again), but graphical and built into the terminal emulator.

6) Config is written in Lua, and you can use that for clever automation, new keybindings, custom formatting of window/tab titles, etc.

7) Multiple fonts can be specified, where glyph rendering will attempt to fallback to the other fonts when not found. Advanced font shaping configuration -- you could do things like enable/disable ligatures, enable font options (if the font supports it) for alternative styling, like having zeros render with a dot or slash (to differentiate from a capital letter 'O').

Those are just some of the things I could think of real quick. Definitely recommend skimming the WezTerm documentation site.

AI can assist, but that's it. When I go to a Kroger's store, I may buy food. Or I buy supplies. Or medicine. Or gifts. Or something else. And almost always a combination of these. We are already at 5 categories, without mentioning others. All my CC will report is a transaction at Kroger's. How is an AI supposed to guess how much I spent on each?
