Spamming the Apache Org with emails isn't going to change anything. There's no indication OP has even attempted to engage with the org and be told "No, we're keeping it alive" or similar.

This is straight to the signing petitions / harassment stage, without bothering to do anything else.
I think there's probably a decent correlation with people who are depressed going for convenience meals rather than take the time to cook or shop for healthy foods and that type of thing. It sounds like they tried to control for some of this but it's not clear how successful that was (I'm not a statistician so I can't speak to that).

At the same time, I think diet and gut health can have major impacts on physical and mental health as well so it makes some intuitive sense that certain foods might be linked with depression. I've always been suspicious of artificial sweeteners, they just seem a lot more chemical and artificial than the natural ones which we evolved to properly ingest.
Thank you!

I have an appointment with my psychiatrist tomorrow! Yay mental health.

Exactly, I don't want to reject the study personally. Mental health is a complex beast and it was worthwhile to look at, but there is also a lot of stigma around processed foods that I think make something like this very complicated and it doesn't address why people may use the processed food in the first place.
I got 99 problems, and outting Open Office as umaintained ain't one.
You already realize it's your security software that's slowing your system calls. Blaming it on the registry makes no sense. It's like blaming HN for being slow because your ISP is slow.
No commit activity would indicate though that there are no active committees, which is one of the criteria whether a project belongs to the attic. Dunno whether that's one of the metrics or whether it is evaluated as required. However, usually people don't try to nefariously keep projects alive.

Interesting that it’s not confirmed if the SR-71 flew in the Southern Hemisphere. Would be a very bold design if it didn’t and the system wasn’t designed for it.
Or you know, D) they'd rather keep their own quality of life than significantly reduce it. They wouldn't be able to keep their mostly crime-free, large safety net high trust society with open borders, it's just not possible. There's already significant struggles in some European countries due to refugee immigration, and that's with fairly strict borders. It's a bit absurd that you're phrasing it as if the only sacrifice would be seeing poor people tbh.

But yes, the core reason is obviously selfish, but also understandable.
DietPi released a new version 8.22
DietPi is a lightweight Debian based Linux distribution for SBCs and server systems, with the option to install desktop environments, too. It ships as minimal image but allows to install complete and ready-to-use software stacks with a set of console based shell dialogs and scripts.

The source code is hosted on GitHub: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi
The main website can be found at: https://dietpi.com/
Wikipedia: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/DietPi

The project released the new version DietPi v8.22 on September 23th, 2023.

The highlights of this version are:

Image format .xz: All images were changed from .7z to .xz for easier handling in flash tools
Images startup via dietpi.txt: All images now have the opportunity to edit dietpi.txt and dietpi-wifi.txt in a windows environment
ADS-B Feeder: New software title, feeding plane tracking information
Kavita: New software title, an open source comics/mangas/ebooks media server
Docker/Portainer: Enabled for Debian Trixie and also for usage in RISC-V boards
NanoPi R4s, Orange Pi 5, ODROID C1: Update issue fixes
Fixes and updates for Ampache, Bazarr, DietPi-Config

The full release notes can be found at: https://dietpi.com/docs/releases/v8_22/
I'm curious how percentiles compare across states, eg. if you were top-1% of WV (income $388K), what percentile would that give you in Connecticut?
To be fair to the parent commenter, they specifically said "the West", which is exactly the opposite of Russia.

That said, I do think freedom to transact is an essential human right yet to be enshrined.
It really only has that because it is so difficult to distribute Android OS updates.
There have been some very good reasons why Python 3 made those changes.

That you find them unnecessary because the original code was "usable as is" for you is irrelevant.

The reasons why these changes have been done (for a developer they have been fairly minor) has been hashed and rehashed for the past 15 years, Guido van Rossum wrote on it extensively too.

Most has been performance-related (Python 3 is significantly faster than 2) and probably the biggest user-visible change is the clean up of string handling with everything being Unicode now.

Frankly, anyone complaining about this stuff today is just beating the old dead horse for the sake of having something to complain about. The same like some people constantly bringing up the Linux systemd discussions after more than a decade, even though they are completely irrelevant today.

But the AI model itself does not compete with those works though. You have to use the AI model with additional input and substantial compute resources to potentially generate a work that competes.

This is the first feature they should have implemented.
I still prefer smaller games or games by smaller dev teams. Don’t get me wrong, AAA titles are fun but it’s like going to the movies, it’s predictable - it’s consistent - and it’s mindless.

My biggest gripe is that these smaller, “starter” games usually don’t get much play. Everyone wants to immerse in a loading screen space sim but can’t stand well-painted pixel sprites? Crazy.

There’s still hope. Hit games are hits not because of just their art but because of their play. Fez, for example, had pretty mediocre art. What it did have is an awesome 2.5D world. Doom, at the time, had great art. It hasn’t aged well. However, the level design, textures, and concepts, and play are still fantastic.

My only advice is if you want to make games, start making games. Who cares what your avatar looks like. Make it fun. @ works just fine.

Also, Commander Keen art splashes were top notch. The only thing missing was pro dithering.

For some reason you’re making the assumption that most employees are as capable of estimating this premium as well as their employers and/or that it’s even possible to estimate this risk in advance?

When I come across this scenario, I often ponder whether it's part of the business strategy for those who offer open-source software for free alongside a paid hosted version. There seems to be a conflict of interest at play here: the more user-friendly the software becomes in terms of installation and operation, the less appealing the hosted version appears.

I'm currently working on an open-source software project with a hosted version of my own (https://sql.ophir.dev). It's a website builder, and my aim is to turn the ease of deployment and operation into a competitive advantage, which is prominently highlighted on the homepage. However, I recognize that it might be overly idealistic to expect the same from others. My target audience mainly consists of individuals who will need to manage the software themselves. In contrast, in many other domains, the decision-makers selecting the software and the individuals responsible for its operation are not one and the same.
From the above link (https://www.sae.org/blog/sae-j3016-update) under "What do these features do?" for "SAE Lvel 4":

> These features can drive the vehicle under limited conditions and will not operate unless all required conditions are met.

If one of these conditions is locality then the vehicle cannot be driven autonomously outside that locale. If a freight truck needs to go from City A to City B -- as they often do -- but the autonomous software only works in City A, then the truck won't be driven autonomously even if it's otherwise capable of autonomous driving.

So I slightly misspoke by saying it's "not autonomous" but going into level 4 vs. level 5, a freight truck is not functionally autonomous until it's level 5. It can be driven autonomously in some conditions but such conditions are almost certainly not all conditions that human freight drivers encounter daily.

(FWIW, I also entered the conversation late and am mostly responding to this: "I'm not persuaded autonomous trucks need the level 5 defined in the way the link you provided defines it.")
nice! i'm currently running LFS 6.7, any good reasons to update?

> But if we are unfortunate, it may quickly become every nation for themselves.

The EU was supposed to be a union, but when COVID started getting really bad in Italy, what did Austria do? They shut the border to Italy. I do fear it will be every nation for themselves, just like individuals are selfish and worry first about their survival, it'll be nations/tribes doing the same (and the worse things get, even tribes will start in-fighting). I say tribes, I feel like violence against anyone who looks different will worsen with scarcity.

I feel like leaders of the rich countries are just closing their eyes to the global disaster (because trying to make a more ecological world is a vote loser, just look at Macron's attempt at taxing fuel more), they're probably hoping there'll be some magical solution, and that before that, if the people are going to die, it'll be the poor of the world without bothering them them too much...

> how much of this is just having a welcoming scene where people emphasize physical touch and friendly interaction?

Most of it, I would bet. From experience, I can say a night out on MDMA can be almost as lonely/alienating as one on ethanol. Still super interesting and fun, but nothing as enlightening as the positive anecdotes above.

Example: if you're physically attractive, but socially stunted, an MDMA night will give you a taste of The Other Side. If your situation is the other way around, guess what - physically unattractive people are still very much unwelcome on a dance floor, and people will still make that clear to you.

This shit is tricky, which is why we need more experienced users in society who can guide newcomers through it.
Ah, these comments again. Open source is great and I have my self contributed to several open source projects, but it is not the solution to everything. Products like Word/Excel/PowerPoint/etc, Visual Studio, Photoshop, Figma, Windows and Mac all have many open source alternatives, but the fact that these products and companies have been hugely successfully and continue to do so says something -- commercial companies can organize and reward work in a way hardly found in open source projects, and their products often provide added value (more features/specific support for certain workflows/professionally designed UX/product support etc) that can be rare or nonexistent in open source projects. For some thing that is as complicated as a game engine, maybe there is a reason open source solutions are not mainstream yet.
Interesting. So my cravings went down significantly, almost to zero. Normally I have such a sweet tooth, that I cannot resist desserts. During my no-sugar period, I was completely indifferent to it.

Food tasted the same, but my sensitivity to sugar was significantly increased. For example, half the usual amount of sugar in my tea would be enough.
On Windows I would use these tools:

SearchMyFiles [1] = You could use this to search, but mainly it's a good free duplicate file finder.

Everything [2] = This tool is VERY fast for doing a rapid initial searches so you can identify the locations of images (again, you need to specify the extensions). You can also limit the size so you don't end up hitting thousands of tiny GIFs. Unsure what versions of Windows this supports, but SearchMyFiles probably supports more older systems.

Bulk Rename Utility [3] = Fantastic renaming utility which you can use to add prefixes or whatever to file sets en masse, which will help you or anyone else later search the resulting files you find, not to mention keep things organized and avoiding duplicate file names. It also will extract the "Taken" date from an image (if it is embedded) so you can use that in the file name automatically.

IrfanView [4] = This free tool has a rapid thumbnail viewer and batch converter that is very handy, but remember to check the option to retain the original file date stamp if you're converting anything for any reason. Date stamps on images are very important.

Don't forget movie files often stored with images (.MOV, .MPG, .QT, etc). These can eat a lot of space. I used HandBrake to convert a lot of large uncompressed .MOV files to MP4. Of course with storage so inexpensive these days, I would keep the uncompressed movies for the sake of preservation.

In your project I would likely have top-level folders for each person's collected photos or device, then sort the images/movies within by year folders.

The slightly less abbreviated version is that I did a bit on upwork and eventually freelancer.com. I found postings there were far more forgiving than trying on indeed or similar sites which basically just shut me out 100% of the time. It took a bit of time and taking some menial tasks but I was able to build up a profile and and some solid references especially from 2 bigger contracts that were quite involved

Initial jobs were fairly simple automation tasks and from there moved towards my niche which is data analytics/data science. I was given the advice to try to pick a niche and stick to it rather than just do whatever and jump all over the place so I tried to stick to that. It was helpful I think; in the initial stages when I didn’t stick to that I ended up researching and learning a bunch of stuff that wasn’t really relevant to my end goals. Hth
Apparently Sure is based in Bahreïn ... quite a few kilometers from the island. So why would they care about anything other than money?
I am not sure why people think it was scammy? Pixel Pass was a glorified device financing option. Unlike Apple iPhone Upgrade Program where you trade in your phone. The upgrade isn’t free you still need to pay monthly for next two years when you upgrade. You can still upgrade for much cheaper with 0% financing. Also when you subscribe to Spotify or Netflix is there an expectation that you get the same price you signed up for when they increase price? That is the same happening here. For two years people got the Pixel Pass were paying for the device financing + perks. They only paid for device they got and not for any future device. Take a look at Pixel financing cost it is much cheaper than Pixel Pass and when you finance you have the option to trade in old phone and get reduced finance rate.
I still have a functional Nexus 7 that I used as an ebook reader for a long while until replacing it with a kobo e-ink device. The N7 still boots. I wonder if there's anything useful I could do with it. It paid for itself many times over in the first 3 years and everything at this point is just bonus.
There's a few definitions for it, the one I think most people default to is jobs that require physical labor.

This might work in a company where institutional knowledge is insignificant or can be easily rebuilt. In companies that maintain big complex products like Unity (or Diablo, for that matter) this strategy can result in the company becoming irreversibly incompetent at maintaining its own product.

Not that everyone hates it. Competing models of usability/openness.

Security keyfob vendors have had attestations for years because they were selling primarily to corporate markets who have closed user bases and stringent authentication requirements, with some also provided to early adopter consumers.

Platforms and password managers are targeting consumer use cases, where preventing the user from leveraging the product would be a terrible thing, as would the 'user agent' problem where later entrants to the market have to beg to be on every site's allow list or lie and claim to be another product.

The synchronization doesn't break attestations. The idea of sites rejecting authenticators that synchronize means that attestations have become an anti-feature in the consumer space.

>although some like Bard provide alternate drafts but they are all from the same source and can all be hallucinations ...

Yes and no. If the LLM is repeating the same thing on multiple drafts then it's very unlikely to be a hallucination.

It's when multiple generations are all saying different things that you need to take notice.

LLMs hallucinate yes but getting the same hallucination multiple times is incredibly rare.
It's still hosted at twitter.com; x.com even redirects to twitter.com -- so even twitter is gently reminding us that the rebrand is halfassed at best.

But I agree, the name itself is a huge part of the problem. If they called it EdgeLordsManor (or whatever) we'd all go along, with a brief "formerly known as" period to notify non-users of the change.
ASF rules require a report from the PMC at every third month. There reports are written by the Project Membership Committee, and checked by the Board. (I know that they really read them).

Board reports (including project reports) are open (with 1-2 month delay, they are published only after approval, at the next Board Meeting).

You can find the report of OpenOffice project here:

In general, if companies e-mail you, it's almost always with worthless bullshit and/or attempts at tricking you into spending more money. OpenAI is not doing that, hence radio silence.

Sentry is definitely a bit heavyweight on the services. Though, it makes sense since you’re effectively running everything they run for their saas business built for a whole other scale.

The trade off is that it’s far more complex than what anybody needs if they just want to run sentry locally. It used to be a lot simpler but now it’s pretty much impossible to even understand how they store data without spending a long time studying it.

To be fair to them though, their migrations and releases have generally been solid and reliable.
There are non-custodial bridge schemes that have been proposed (but afaik not yet proven). The idea being that the holding company you mention is replaced by an L1 escrow contract. This trust minimized approach is not trivial to implement but at least I think I see how it could work.

Apache HTTPd accounts for nearly a third of the webservers in use on the internet today.

Apache Arrow underpins a swathe of datascience tooling, as does Apache Parquet.

Then there's Apache Kafka, and Apache Hadoop, naturally.

Apache Maven is still the predominant tool for doing Java compilation, and in the Java space lets not forget such things as Log4J, where we saw absolute chaos a couple of years ago caused by those vulnerabilities in it. Most of the cloud services you interact with, especially at Amazon, are written in Java.

The list of crucial projects leveraged by the wider industry goes on and on and on.

Yes, Apache seems to end up as a dumping ground for an awful lot of open source projects, but that's not all it is.
To add to the significant caveats already posted by others (correlation<>causation, confounding factors, etc), diary studies of diet are known to have very poor signal to noise.

Also, there's a notable counter-example since diabetics are a large, distinct group which has had substantially higher average artificial sweetener consumption than the general population for many decades.
