that is the annoying thing of all of this. plastic one use bottles have a nice use in some cases. we at one point had a very nice reduce reuse recycle system in place for glass bottles. the caps were easy to pick out with magnets and the bottles could be reused hundreds of times before being needed to be crushed up into more bottles. it was also in the best interest of the companies to reduce how many bottles were out there. then we upended the whole thing thinking we can recycle the plastic.

On the contrary. I was not arrogant enough.

The biggest winners were those who short sold Tesla, knowing that Elon would be forced to sell Tesla stock to afford a $44 Billion purchase (even if $13 Billion was covered in loans and maybe $9 Billion in handshake agreements with other investors like Saudis or Larry Ellison etc. Etc.)

If you short sold Tesla and bought TWTR in preparation for the buyout event, you'd have made even more money. Etc. Etc. And some people did do that.

Anyway. AMC/APE was the more recent event a few weeks ago proving the illiterate stock market traders. It's happening again and again. Tons of opportunities exist if you have the ability to read, and comprehend, the public legal text. This is absolutely not a thing typical traders can do, the price fluctuations are proof of that.

I dunno what the next event will be, but I'm keeping my eyes open for easy money.
Early on in the pandemic a couple of doctors around the world reported that a combination of drugs, including hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin plus zinc was successful in treating Covid-19. As long as it wasn't too late, i.e., the patient wasn't already on a ventilator. Those 2 drugs are inexpensive and plentiful, so they could've stopped the pandemic early on, before the lockdowns and vaccine mandates. I leave it to you, to speculate why this knowledge was suppressed.
My understanding is that the US has a two-party system because of single member districts and and winner takes all elections.

The winner takes all system requires candidates to compete for a plurality of votes. This means major parties must accommodate a broad range of ideologies.

Multiparty democracies typically use a system in which representation is proportional to the number of votes received and those political parties can often get somewhere by catering to narrow interests.

Yes, that number is dangerous when it's used to imply that recycling programs throw most of the stuff away. That's not what it means.

There are several people here who have actually said that they would rather send plastic to the landfill than to the recycling center because they read numbers like that and interpret them wrong.
That's a great textbook!

To put numbers to it, according to Zillow, the average New Orleans home value is $263,349, down 8.3% over the past year and goes to pending in around 53 days. (That's the city at the top of the list.) Obviously there are some large historic homes in Uptown that go for a lot more than that, but that doesn't really line up with the typical "housing in unaffordable" storyline except to the degree that--as is almost certainly the case in New Orleans--the job market is pretty poor in general.
As the system currently is it’s actually more environmentally friendly to burn plastics instead of shipping it to China where it will either be burnt or dumped in the ocean.
I just finished a side project where I was using a managed postgres instances. I originally was going to use gcp because that's where my application's hosted. However, after starting a postgres instances and it idling for a couple weeks I saw that it was going to cost me $30 a month... just to sit there. I ended up going with a different vendor for managed SQL. After playing with that for some time, I was just thinking of hosting my db on my own hardware because I still don't like the price point.

I can appreciate having flat rate plans because you know exactly what you're going to pay. Especially for something like side projects.

I might seriously consider this for my projects.
Devian, shirley?
That's mentioned several times in the paper.

> despite the controversy surrounding its use, treatment with hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin remains a viable option

Also keep in mind there were only 400 people in the treatment group, and the study concedes:

> our study reports on outcomes from the first half of 2020, before vaccination became available and before the emergence of new COVID-19 variants. Since that time several drugs, like remdesivir, molnupiravir and nirmatrelvir/ritonavir were approved for the treatment of Covid-19
Interesting. Have you published the code and/or benchmarks anywhere? This flies against everything I've read about Julia and R.
Are they ? Because all of that looks like posturing on principles.

Like, I have plenty of issues with systemd but still on span of 461 systems we manage (mostly Debian with some centos here and there) with variety of use cases (from "legacy" to k8s running on ceph cluster) it saved us tens of thousands lines of code and allowed some tricky use cases to be far more reliable than before.

Because apparently despise vehement claims sysV scripts are "simple" and "straightforward" it turns out there is plenty of edge cases that most developers don't fix in those scripts.

For example the fact doing start -> status immediately after in many Java apps will tell you your application is not running, because developer delegated Java app to write its own pid file and that takes time for JVM to start. So if something like Pacemaker does exactly that (start app, wait for start script to finish, run status, Pacemaker thinks app didn't start and fails the service).
Wow, this seems absolutely amazing for my use case.

Seems a perfect machine to just connect a nice synth with a multi fx pedal, and crank out a new song in a couple of hours! No distractions.

I guess I wont be able to justify the asking price you seem to be avoiding mentioning (which I can totally understand why, don't get me wrong), but I will surely follow the progress with great interest!

In any case, congrats and best of luck!

I understand your point. And if you also want to take a strictly materialistic worldview, there’s nothing wrong with it. But what’s strange to me is when people take such a hard line in one area but don’t apply the same logic to another. Would you, for example, extend that same logic to claim your loved ones are philosophical zombies incapable of subjective experience? After all, there’s no good proof of the hard problem of consciousness and it’s likely an untestable claim as well. If you reply with “yes, but…” all it really means is you are either cherry picking where to apply the logic or you recognize there are limits to what science can test/prove and there may be elements outside that domain.
I'm in mid-MI, so I'm not even that far away. Crazy how prices vary.
With 20 years of hindsight I am not saying I can objectively talk about it but I kinda hated Pascal, with syntax and everything and so I didn't really try Delphi.

Visual Basic 5 was kinda awesome.

It may very well be that if I had looked at both again after, say, 5 years of programming I might have different views, but even now I still look back fondly on VB, it got shit done, esp if you needed a quick UI with not a lot of business logic.

I have been a math teacher and although I can't guarantee that I didn't suck, I can say that most of kids don't develop this attitude because of teachers, but because of their parents. "My mum says that she sucked at math/music/whatever as well, so do I!" is far too common. As a teacher I just didn't have resources to influence this attitude either.
"A couple of doctors?" As the paper mentions, earlier studies indicated no benefit:

That 9% is of all plastic produced between 1950 and 2015.

I had horrible tinnitus for three months. I couldn't hear anything out of my right ear. Foolishly, I went to see Inception with it. That was so disorienting.

My audiologist said I was SOL and there was nothing to do about it. A few months later, I went to see a nurse practitioner about something unrelated. The ear came up and she wrote me a Rx for a steroid just to try it and see what happens. Two weeks later, I went for a walk. I heard this rush in my ear and suddenly I could hear again and the tinnitus was gone.

It was a miracle. I still had some permanent hearing loss but it was 90% better. I could function and make music again. Second opinions FTW.

I agree about teaching from a unified GLM basis. The 'bayesian-by-default' approach seems to going out on a more tenuous limb, imo.
No, but you get used to it. If it's really quiet and I focus on it I can hear the 1KHz tone in my right ear. The last checkup I had indicated I didn't have hearing loss, but frankly I struggle in some of those tests. Sometimes I find myself inadvertently angling my ear in a way that I can hear people better.

Other times something in my body seems to make the tinnitus flare up and then I can't hear anything but the ringing for a few seconds. This doesn't happen all that often and I'm more conscious of wearing ear protection these days.

AST has one very large satellite, so it supports higher bandwidth for each device, giving them 18Mbps speed. Starlink satellites, even with gen 2, are smaller but more numerous. So while AST may support 40 simultanuous callers and sell the service to 40000 customers, starlink direct to cell gives you lower bandwidth but can support 40000 simulatnuous callers and sell to 4M people. (numbers are my best guesses)
That's part of the protocol with a Document highlight request.

The client will then highlight those references with one color for read, one for write, and one for other textual occurrences.

The reason i am doing it, is to smooth out any wrinkles on my face. Not that i have many, one or two, but the ice cold water completes smooths out the skin.

I found out accidentally, that it treated a very mild case of inflammation in the ear i had, for over a year.

I probably had the same inflammation 6 years back, and i was in a lot of pain. I went to see a doctor, and he didn't want to prescribe any antibiotics, because the antibiotics for the ear are the strongest of all, due to poor blood circulation around the ear. Anyway, i convinced him for the contrary and he prescribed the antibiotics, 3 days later my ears were working properly again.

The last year however, a similar inflammation on the same spot appeared, but very mild. Almost no pain at all. Just a very small discomfort in the area sometimes. Well the ice cold water for an hour, it treats it completely every time.

The reason i am doing it however, is to smooth out the skin. That's a lot more important.
Circa 1980 there were a lot of magazines like Byte and Creative Computing that tried to cover the whole world of "8-bit" computing. My impression was that they all started to struggle when the IBM PC came out in 1981 but it took a long time for the situation to develop because the PC was strong in some ways (640k seemed like a huge amount of memory at first, the CPU was fast because it wasn't having half of its cycles stolen by the video system) but weak in other ways (horrible for motion graphics because it wasn't having half of its cycles stolen by the video system.) There were some magazines like Atari Age and Compute Gazette and Rainbow that specialized in particular systems that became more important by the middle of the 1980s.

If you look at Byte in 1987 you can see the industry in the middle of a transition to PC clones, which for me was sparked by the relatively cheap PC AT clones, I got one for about $1200. With a 12MHz 286 this machine was fast enough that I could develop software under emulation for the Z80 with CP/M and have it run faster than most real CP/M machines. EGA graphics was actually good enough for games

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commander_Keen

1987 was the year I traded in my Coco 3 and a huge amount of peripherals (I ran the OS-9 multitasking operating system and had two terminals attached) and many of my friends were doing the same.

The generalist magazines were mostly dead, the specialist magazines were on the way out as their platforms died, Computer Shopper was the top magazine for a while not because of the articles but because it was chock full of ads for parts for building PC clones. Around that time I'd gotten a 2400 baud modem and I was dialing into BBS all the time and that was already a nail in the coffin for computer magazines because the early adopters were already reading about computers online. Byte, for instance, jumped in with both feet with an online service called Bix.

I had quit reading computer magazines long before the WWW came out but soon it wasn't just the early adopters who had quit, it was everyone.

Magazines are kind of adware-shaped and that makes them competing with Instagram in 202x. IMO magazines as a genre moves to B2B areas, like what am I able to order from some supplier this year. I have read a random 15 years old Cosmopolitan magazine which happened to appear on my desk today and I have realized that material is somewhat teenager-shaped with a gorgeous illustrations, great writing style but poor fact-checking (decline of global heating in my case) and actually there is no reason to consume this kind of content on a fallen trees medium while any teenager has a keyboard-less device with a beautiful screen which is too good setup to consume exactly this kind of information and too bad one for doing anything else.

What about books, they might were looking as a half-dead genre in 2009 but there is a lot of enshittification of the Internets happened since there.

This is mostly an amusing logic puzzle of the sort Lewis Carroll liked to write, but there is an unstated moral here: utilitarianism requires a metric of utility, and it can be gamed by people who are merely paying lip service (at best) to utilitarianism, opening the door, in the worst cases, to Mill's tyranny of the majority. The global news, on any given day, contains several such cases.

I can see that I guess. But I’ll say I think it has improved, at least for me, the last year. It felt very 1-sided and thought cleansed before. And now I see a far wider spectrum of opinion. You could argue this just tries to generate engagement through outrage or w/e but I think it’s healthy. A certain slice of the population probably got too comfortable seeing their side automatically promoted and their opposition silenced.
> I prefer a more hands-on approach ... which is why these k8s-native solutions are appealing

"K8s-native" here implies Rook, which is in no way hands-on for Ceph.

> as long as ... the solution is simple enough to manage without a special degree

Ceph is not simple, that's my point. I assume you've read the docs [0] already; if not, please do so _in their entirety_ before you use it. There are so many ways to go wrong, from hardware (clock skew due to BIOS-level CPU power management, proper PLP on your drives...), to configuration (incorrect PG sizing, inadequate replication and/or EC settings...) and more.

I'm not trying to dissuade you from tackling this, I'm just saying it is in no way easy or simple. Statements like "k8s-native solutions" always make me cringe, because it usually means you want to use an abstraction without understanding the fundamentals.

To be clear, I have read the docs, set it up on my own, and decided I didn't want to try to manage it. I've ran a ZFS pool for a few years on Debian and shifted over to TrueNAS Scale last week; not because I was unable to deal with ZFS' complexity (knock on wood, the only [temporary] data loss I ever had was an incorrect `rm -rf`, and snapshots fixed that), but because of continual NFS issues. I may yet switch back; I don't know - I just no longer had the time to troubleshoot the data layer. Ceph makes ZFS looks like child's play in comparison.

I am mainly thinking of testing, and if FiveAM is still the way to go, because there is a note at the beginning about Rove, which seems to be pretty well maintained these days. But looking at FiveAM again I see some recent commits. Also, in the concurrency chapter there is the section on lparallel, which seems like a very old unmaintained library.

This all said, I think one thing that makes cl nice is that it doesn't feel out of the question to use a very old library for something you need. So none of this is actually a problem.
