This is really at least partially an answer. Clearly foraged foods lived on, but genetics has shown us that pre-agricultural, hunter gatherer Europeans were very genetically quite distinct from post-agricultural (and post Indo-European migration) populations, and we know that they were not Indo-European speakers, too. So it's also quite likely their cultures were lost and along with them at least some of the foods they ate.

Which is not to say that people living in these places didn't continue to eat seaweed, because they did.
That means the teacher unions, public schools, and/or lawmakers in CA kind of suck. (I lived there but I never had kids there, so I don't have any deep knowledge on the matter, except that #3 is really obviously true)

It doesn't mean teachers are "one of the most powerful political forces" in the United States. It's like a tangent within a tangent so I guess there's not much more I'd say about that claim, other than... it's a really weird, obviously wrong thing to assert.
> name a corporation that's publicly traded right now that isn't promising growth to shareholders

The entire E&P sector comes to mind. For example, Marathon Oil "expects to deliver maintenance-level total Company oil production" this year [1].

Note that "publicly traded companies constitute less than 1 percent of all U.S. firms and about one-third of U.S. employment in the non-farm business sector" [2]. Most small businesses aim to stay small.

I would suggest that you are almost certainly in the top 5% on complexity of your tax situation between the roboadvisor, the house, and the EV, if not all of the other things that you are spending 8 hours on. You may be in the top 1% on number of pages in your federal tax return.

Personally, I would love a flat tax, although I would probably pay more under that system. It will never happen, though.

I love apache as much as anyone, cut my teeth with it and still work with it plenty.

It doesn’t strike me as odd to question its fit for people who have more experience with containers. If there’s a reverse proxy in the front, one may just need business logic in the back.
Thank you for the reference!

But as long as there is low quality data might not that data "pollute" the process (whatever that may be)? i.e., "GIGO".

Is "low quality data" possibly necessary for a properly-working LLM?!

I think you're giving them an unnecessary pass, the incentives are completely in their favor: don't screen ads, make money off ads that are frauds, scams, age-inappropriate, etc... wait for "someone" to report those ads as such; meanwhile, keep making money off them, and the scammers/frauds/etc keep making marks.

The human-friendly way would be to screen ads before airing them, which means hiring teams to do the screening; have an appropriate legal language in the ad screening section saying that ads may be rejected for "Reasons" which will be explained in the rejection note, and the rejection can be appealed upon which another person will deal with the rejection review process.

It's not a difficult problem, but it gets in the way of making money hand over fist.

"A lot of effort was made to keep ksh88 small. In fact the size you report on Solaris is without stripping the symbol table. The size that I am getting for ksh88i on Solaris is 160K and the size on NetBSD on intel is 135K.

"ksh88 was able to compile on machines that only allowed 64K text. There were many compromises to this approach."

Without a doubt, that had a profound impact upon the POSIX shell. It was also the cause of the removal of many features in the Korn shell for the standard, especially arrays.

This is why POSIX Powershell could never exist.

The project is still in early stages but we think we can contribute in areas like user experience, dev experience, accessibility, features & AI.

For example Collaboration can be great for teachers who want to collaborate live on documents (just like Google Docs), a Blocks-based editor (like Notion) would mean unlimited content possibilities, AI search can help students grasp notions easily..

Providing a better developer experience for people that want to develop on top of learnhouse or self-host it in something like Kubernetes & Cloud is a top priority too.

We're just laying the foundations of the LMS and we'll work on new features and guides soon, we would love to hear about some of your recommendations ^^

DARPA Selects Teams to Boost Supply-and-Demand Network Resiliency
You're partially right. It's a complete fallacy to think that just because you consume fat, you store fat. Any fat you eat is broken down before going into the bloodstream, and is generally made available for the body to use as fuel in preference to being stored.

The reason you store fat is because you have insulin in your bloodstream, which is a messenger telling cells to store energy. Insulin is released into the bloodstream in response to blood sugar levels going up. So, in order to avoid storing fat, you should avoid eating sugar (and other foods that get converted into sugar quickly, like most carbohydrates). People tend to lose weight if they consume mostly fat, and that is largely because eating fat doesn't raise blood sugar levels, and therefore doesn't stimulate insulin secretion.

So it's more complicated than calories in minus calories out, and fat is good for more complicated reasons than it just taking longer to digest.

Fructose does have a bad effect. But that's separate from the above - fructose is even more bad than just it being a sugar.
Small nit to start, this sets a precedent. This does not necessarily set precedence. Those are two different things.

Again, though, this is a hard hill to want to set the battle on. If this was a case of "searching for contentious thing" than I would be worried, as well. This was literally, "any evidence that someone scoped out a specific location where a crime that we all agree is a crime happened?"

And saying there is no oversight is silly. This had a warrant. It went through a process. To claim there is no oversight is overstating the situation and is a bad faith argument. To contrive how this could have led to a lot of false positives completely ignores that it was such a well directed search that it did not, in fact, do that. Last number I heard was that it literally hit single digits in how many results it had. That is beyond well scoped for this sort of thing.
> The question is why do we consume more.

Because we are offered more.

Survival instinct is to eat everything in front of you. Reduce portion sizes across the board, and people would likely eat less.

Wishful thinking from afar by someone who isn't an American and who doesn't understand American culture.

- The US is, on average, highly anti-intellectual and proud of it.

- Spends an unsustainable amount on the military-industrial complex more than the rest of the world combined.

- Lacks health insurance, healthcare, and mental healthcare for all as a human right.

- Is far more dangerous than any Western European country. The city I live in doesn't have police response for nonviolent crimes until 36-48 hours later, if at all.

- Millions of homeless people live on the street. (The true number is far higher than the official estimate.)

- A hundred million Americans are furious, barely surviving, and frequently quick to anger over anything.

- Politically divided.

- 30-40% of the country would rather the whole thing burn down than for things to get better.

- Routine acts of mass murder don't happen in a functional society again, and again, and again.

- Suicide by habits of despair.

- Doddering and corrupt politicians who lack a vision and ambitious project milestones.

- Already had one dumb insurrection and can't elect a SOTH.

America is on the path to another Civil War, but it will take 0-35 years to come to a head in such a fashion. It won't be invaded or replaced, but it may dissolve into 2-3 alliances of states. There is unlikely to be violence necessarily because leftists lack the arsenal the far-right has, and the state has a far greater capabilities than any private party.* Decline is a slow-boiling frog that goes from reliable postal mail and public park water fountains to haphazard, inconsistency and privatized commons HOAs. The bullshit just piles higher and deeper.

There is a semi-yearly gathering in Arizona to shoot NFA arms. I doubt there are any privately-owned LAWs, Hellfires, hypersonic missiles, Longbow Apaches, or counterbattery radars.

Hi, author here.

Yes we have many large companies (Fortune Global 500) down to small organisations using our software with this kind of interception (see for example https://cuno.io/about-us/). It took us a decent sized team a lot of years to get right, because it is so very hard a problem to crack. But we think it is worth it. And for those who don't want to use such interception, we do offer a FUSE layer as well that still offers much higher performance than alternatives.
The drove up prices, making the down payment side harder. Higher interest rates should bring down the sales price, making down payments go further, but we're only halfway seeing that. My thinking is because the shortage masks that, but people married to their underwater 3% fixed-rate mortgages also does (for now). Ironically, this seems to be driving homebuilders to build more.
It's actually not clear at all that this is the case in Western Europe. Agriculture came with sweeping genetic and archaeological changes. There's quite a bit of evidence for population replacement in large parts of Europe as agriculture moved in, rather than existing hunter gatherers adopting farming.

If you look at the more recent history of the agricultural settlement of other parts of the world, it's not too different. North America the most recent, but parts of Africa as well. Hunter gatherers have low population densities over often very large territories, and are sensitive to disruptions in animal migrations; but when they're able to forage and hunt reliably their diets are actually often much better than agricultural populations and involve less overall labour. So they don't necessarily just give it up because somehow agriculture is better.

... and even the proto-Indo-European pastoralists of the steppe continued to forage wild grains and plants (rather than plant wheat like their neighbours to the west) for almost a millennia after domesticating horses and cattle. David Anthony gets into this in "Horse, Wheel, Language". And it wasn't because they didn't know how, they just preferred not to. Settling down to plant crops has trade-offs. (I say this as a person with a pile of pre-winter garden chores I'm procrastinating...)

> Unions are for protecting employees against abusive employers.

That's one important role of unions, but it's not the only one. The primary purpose of unions is to allow employees to negotiate with employers on a more equal playing field. Without unions, the power imbalance generally ensures that employees are at a disadvantage when it comes to negotiating a fair deal.

> Python 2 to Python 3 may have been a painful transition, but dealing with text in Python 3 is mountains better than beforehand

it is not

python 2 made a disastrously wrong choice about how to add unicode support

python 3 inserted that disastrously wrong choice everywhere (though at least you no longer get compile errors when you put a non-ascii character in utf-8 or latin-1 in a comment, a level of brain damage i've never seen from any other language)

rust and golang made reasonable choices about how to handle unicode; python, by contrast, is a bug-prone mess

i've lost python error tracebacks generated by an on-orbit satellite because they contained a non-ascii character and so the attempt to encode them as text generated an encoding error. python's unicode handling catastrophe has made it unusable for any context where reliability is especially important

The question is compared to what ?

Yes, POSIX-like file access have plenty of rough edges but alternatives are mostly trading this for that, not straight up upgrade. I'd like to see deburred version (cutting all the edge case crap with fsyncing and such, among other problems), but good luck getting everyone on board of that

Every feature comes with drawbacks. For example ability to just lock the file might be great from app perspective but it is PITA from any distributed backend perspective. Ability to change it after write comes with similar problems so S3 and other cloudy ones tend to skip that.

ACLs will always be fucking mess because the more powerful ones you need the more messy access control becomes. And it always becomes married with whatever underlying system uses for authentication.

Like, you can rewrite app to use S3 but suddenly you now can't rewrite header of the file without going full read-modify-write cycle because modifying an object would be hard at scale so Amazon decided to just not do it.

So stream-encoding MP4 file directly to S3 (which at end of encoding requires writing some stuff in header) can't be done directly on S3 and you need a temporary file (guess in what? POSIX local filesystem) before the upload, or use different format.

> Poor observability.

What that has to do with anything ? It's just API, you can observe it as any other API... hell, it's actually far more observable than app using S3 as you can't strace that but you can strace filesystem operations.
> … at Google, which i suspect is one of the companies you are referring to.

Just to clarify: no, I was referring to companies which are using products from the company behind cunoFS, and which share the actual code base of the functional interposition. My point is that while this technique is complex and brittle in general, this specific code-base is incredibly battle-tested and has proved itself even in fairly arcane configurations.

You’re definitely right about there being some amount of resistance, but functional interposition offers some compelling advantages over all alternative solutions in terms of ease of use and unparalleled performance.

Email notifications when a student does a quiz would also be nice, but I've been doing okay without them so far. Accessibility in how students read material and how I manage it is needed for me, since I'm one of the few blind people out there that use this stuff.

That is quite different. ? in Rust signifies "this code is not important"

Which even in systems is unavoidable, to be fair. Sometimes failure just isn't important. The division between systems and scripts is not perfect. But, that will be the uncommon case in systems. It is not certain that really needs a symbol in which to draw attention. (An implementation may need a symbol, but that's beyond this discussion)

It's worrying because it feels like MS will add more and more closed source "features" to VSCode and undermine its open source-ness.

It also prevent other editors' users from building Copilot plugins. For example, there won't be a Copilot plugin for Emacs that can be accepted by Emacs's official repostiory.

All the vitamins and nutrients that your body needs are available in animal-based foods, including vitamin C (fresh meat contains vitamin C) and in fact they are in a more bioavailable form, meaning that they are easier for your body to extract and absorb. From a health and fitness perspective a diet of meat, fish, and eggs is perfect. You'll also find that you can't stand alcohol if you follow this diet.
