When the sole OSS maintainer says “I only got $23 in donations last year so I can’t spend as much time on bug fixes this year” that should be a case for donating $25. Especially if the end of maintenance would instantly cost five or six figures. The thing is that it’s hope that you get support for your $25. Not a contract guaranteeing it.

In the end the easiest option for me is to donate a $25 personally on my employers behalf and be done with it.
Just stopped eating three days before. Forget the drugs and liquids.

Took no anesthetic for the procedure. Not really bad; just embarrassing, get over yourself.

Drove myself home ten minutes after. No problems.

Have to be good with fasting. Mostly it's a matter of habit, remembering not to graze in the evening. I don't feel hunger as a big deal; your mileage may vary.
There were sometimes more, sometimes less choices. Btw., the living speak (and we also know a good deal about what the dead thought) - not everyone dies in a war.
Not only that, but you can play pirated media files on any device, with highly customizable media players, without active internet, and with community based subtitles. Most streaming service provide subtitles to only handful of languages. And you can get surround sound on a PC which is afaik still not available when you watch using official browser based players. For some of these reasons I still reach for khm khm "downloadable" content even if it's available on services I'm paying.
It's 'related' in that it's exactly the same course given in the link, specifically [10] at the end, thanks.

Yeah, Nix is a tough tool to learn. It's probably never the right tool to pick for "I just want something that works right now" if you're unfamiliar with it.

> I thought one of the main reason for nixos's existence is reproducibilty

NixOS uses "reproducible" to mean "with the same Nix code, you get the same program behaviour". This is more/less what people hope Dockerfiles provide.

This is the level of reproducibility you want when you say "it works on my machine" or "it worked last time I tried it".

Whereas "reproducible build" aims for bit-for-bit equality for artifacts build on different machines. -- With this, there's a layer of security in that you can verify that code has been built from a particular set of sources.

What search query were you using? Searching "nixos configuration" on

Or searching for hyprland specifically, there seem to be many using that https://github.com/search?q=wayland.windowManager.hyprland&t...
>The EUIPO speculates that financial pressures, like inflation, means that people have less money to spend on entertainment. This can be seen in the way that fewer people are signing up for Netflix or Amazon Prime – and some are even cancelling their subscriptions altogether.

This does play a part, but I'd wager that a larger part of piracy becoming more attractive is these services becoming more expensive (I really doubt that in this case its inflation...), while they have less to offer. And that you now need accounts with multiple streaming services to watch all the popular shows. And then also a crack-down on account sharing started happening. It shouldn't come as a surprise that piracy is becoming popular again.
Like I said, none of what you've said matters. You do you.
There are two senses of reproducible.

The sense you're thinking of is that you can easily rebuild a binary package and it will use the same dependency versions, build options, etc. There should be no chance of a compiler error that didn't happen the first time (the old "but it worked on my laptop" syndrome).

The sense used here is that every build output is byte-for-byte binary identical. It doesn't depend on the machine name, the time it was compiled or anything like that (or, in a parallel build, the order in which files finish compiling). That is much harder.
half ton? If I was headed to a friend's house who owns a farm and they asked me to pick up half a ton of farm supplies I would think nothing of it. Even my truck with its tiny payload can carry that around
Gravity also isn't constant everywhere on the planet and it changes locally over time as well as globally. Precision measurements would be a nightmare/impossible.

Hey, is there any chance you could do a writeup on how you did things? due to the lack of information you mention, I think it might be useful for a lot of people there, including me.
Piracy and media hoarding are also about control or at least the lack of control of streaming services.

So, here in the UK, we more or less have to pay the BBC license fee if we want to use a TV service, and so we pay for the BBC's programming and they put some of their stuff onto iPlayer (their streaming service). However, iPlayer often time limits programmes (30 days is common) and there's a lot of older stuff that isn't available on there, but is available on torrents or sometimes people upload old obscure stuff to YouTube.

Once I've downloaded something away from the official BBC iPlayer service, I can keep it for as long as I like and it doesn't matter if it's obscure.

With other streaming services, there's a focus on popularity and so less popular products either never get added or get removed. I worry that this is going to lead to the cultural disappearance of many older films and TV.

That article is very poorly written or at least it just regurgitates the fallacies from the big media companies. Piracy is most definitely not "stealing" as copying doesn't deprive the owner of their copy. They just wish to impose artificial scarcity to increase their profits and to wield control over their customers e.g. region locking
What do you mean? There's no mandatory conscription in Poland since 2010.

My parents (west German) drove Ladas, first one bought in the late 70s (which was actually reasonably solid, built under license from Fiat. Came with a large very solid cast iron set of tools, and a big pot of paint in the right color). Fully metal bumpers.

My mother got into an accident with a Ford that totaled the Lada (and the Ford).

They bought the same model again, but at this point Soviet manufacturing had deteriorated and that car was nothing but trouble.

I do remember annual 2000km trips to the french coast though...
Valid only in the sense of “we can improve on this old way of doing things.” Not valid in the sense that using boost for foreach and function objects would make absolutely no sense since C++11 which has those features built in, and with cleaner syntax.
Don't the artists now get a much bigger share of their income from shows? That's not really an option for the TV/Movie/Video media producers.
> The application and evaluation processes for women and men are identical and do not distinguish between them. The Center for European Policy Analysis reports that Latvia has “comparatively good female representation within the Latvian National Armed Forces.” At present, women make up 16.5% of the army’s 6,700 military personnel.

They could easily boost that number by conscripting women. My "military service" in nearby country consisted mostly of wiping arses of elderly patients in hospital. Anyone can do that!
I have a fantasy where I live above a kebab shop and come to an arrangement where I lower a box containing money on a piece of string, he puts a pre-agreed kebab and chips in the box and gives the string two tugs.

Nordics have extremely high standards of living and low conscription rates. Latvia has been losing people to emigration to other EU countries since years, and now they have given people yet another reason to move.
Same here and I agree. AS is the one I most fear opening/using. I _love_ IntelliJ, I even have used AppCode to avoid Xcode for fully native stuff but for cross platform stuff my minor use of Xcode is always more pleasant than AS.
> The law provides for two categories of service — military service and alternative (civil) service — prescribing the rules and procedures for performing these obligations.

The alternate civil service route is understated and extremely useful, I think.

It’s not reasonably possible to draft and train all men who turn 18, so you make a bunch of exceptions and then an alternate route doing stuff like acting as ambulance drivers, firemen, reserve police (think: PCSO/Specials in the UK), even just fucking wrangling paperwork or whatever.

It’s not a bad system, as these things go.
It's not just the dating apps.

Things that require low effort are usually low quality.

There is nothing wrong with deciding some part of your life will be filled with low quality things. We can't make efforts on every single parts of our life.

But if you do this for entertainment, and dating, and food, and the rest, your life is filled with bland yogurt.

Netflix is no substitution for a hobby. Ready-made meals are no substitution from cooking vegetables. Chats are no substitution for IRL human interactions.

It's crazy we even have to say it, it should be obvious.

I guess it shows how much humans are biased toward quick rewards. It's very hard to say no in a world of abundance of those.
coming from java you probably don't need all that stuff (and you should already know about constructors). you really need to understand the differences between call/return by value and by reference, and RAII - the rest can be left to the library writers.
Rebuilding the minimal ISO from source is an impressive milestone on the journey to a system that builds from source reproducibly. Guix had an orthogonal but equally impressive milestone on the same journey recently[0], bootstrapping a full compiler toolchain from a single reproducible 357 byte binary without any other binary compiler blobs. These two features may one day soon be combined to reproducibly build a full distribution from source.

Probably people were thinking that it was a bluff and there would be no invasion. If you look at the map, most of the territory was captured in first days, and then, after Russia has built trenches and minefields it takes lots of resources and time to take back even a single village.

So what we should learn from this is that if you want to take a land from some other country (for example: Finland, Sweden or any non-NATO country) then this "surprise attack" strategy is working. You advance 50-200 km into enemy's territory within several days while your enemy is unprepared and then entrench and now your enemy has to storm your well defended positions, go through the minefields, losing many times more soldiers and equipment than you. And you can just sit and wait until they exhaust and surrender.

If you don't want that happening to your country then you should fortify your borders and build minefields and trenches first.
Yeah, I love C++ as a hobbyist programmer but will readily admit I basically use it like C but with the added convenience of strings & classes. Hardly how you're supposed to use it these days, but this is fine for my toy projects. But I can't imagine using the language professionally where you've got to be aware of best practices, modern enhancements, etc. Seems overwhelming!
> You have someone who says something negative, and you have the choice to listen to it or disregard it. That's a choice

This is just not true about human psychology. Like it is not true at all.

People are affected by what is said about them. And those few unaffected generally tend to have much bigger issues in relationships, because their lack of caring usually makes them into very uncomfortable to be around.
So - let me get this straight - a whole industry does something in response to a law, something consultants and lawyers advise and approve of, but - you know better. You understand the law better than them, you understand their business better than them, you know their tools better than them.

Who are you then?! Are you a consultant? A lawyer? A business owner? Can you even show me in the law the accepted patterns for simple, common usage scenarios like analytics? Then for all the less commons scenarios for each business? Are you willing to guarantee your advice with your money? Can a business come to you and sue you if your advice was faulty and they got fined by one of the distributed institutions enforcing GDPR in any of the EU countries?
There is some CUDA support on AMD. I'm using it on a daily basis, it's much more production ready than you would expect. Do you use pytorch or something else?
Explanation or justification? Does current scientific consensus (let's say there's one) say that this mentality is okay or that it's a bias that we should be aware (and try to correct against)?
> Guix, Archlinux, Debian do the binary reproducibility better than Nix / NixOS / Nixpkgs.

Huh, didn't know that Arch Linux tests reproducibility. It's apparently 85.6% reproducible: https://reproducible.archlinux.org

I wonder how much work would be needed for NixOS, considering it has more than 80k packages in the official repository.
Some of my colleagues discuss politics sometimes, and I have tried to discuss things like these.

I am stunned by the lack of interest to discuss male issues with the same kind of enthusiasm that women have when discussing women's issues.

Very few seem to be interested in even acknowledging that we men on average have a worse attitude to the concept of risk. I have tried to use a non-political topic such as extreme sports (just to try to carry the topic in a different way), with very few constructive discussions.
> not everyone dies in a war.

Survivorship bias. What you will hear will be mostly skewed towards it not being so bad because the guys who speak about it survived and ended up having fuller lives. The dead would probably have a very different opinion if they could say anything.
Ok then break all cryptography with that. It just proves my point you can SAY you can do it but in practice you can’t.
Competition is supposed to give us choice. Instead, when one competitor discovers a cheap trick, the rest have to follow suit to stay alive, or at least believe they do. Hence there are a half dozen dating apps that all offer the same fucking swipe right garbage. OKCupid was pretty good, before the ubiquity of smartphones.
And if it discourages people from signing their binaries at all, then that's definitely a negative outcome.
The why don't you do it. It'll be worth billions right.

Ted Turner (of CNN/Turner Broadcasting/blood feud with George Steinbrenner fame) has also been doing this for decades[1], with bringing back bison as a primary focus. He’s one of the largest private landowners in America with a couple of million acres and tens of thousands of bison.

Women don't prefer being single. Women want a relationship - but with a hot tall confident rich guy their friends will be envious of who makes them feel butterflies ("chemistry").

That's the definition of the ideal boyfriend for most younger women.

So the hot tall confident rich guys play the field, because they can. Worse, some of the hottest and most confident guys are narcissists - because narcissists and sociopaths are very good at seducing people with love bombing and future faking.

Inexperienced women get their hearts broken and decide that all men are jerks - partly because at this stage the kind funny not-so-hot guys don't register as realistic prospects on their dating radar.

There are subcultures within this, and there's certainly a niche of women who find clever, funny, and kind men more attractive than rich and tall etc men. But it's relatively small compared to most of the population.

At the same time there's a strongly gender-polarised and adversarial (actually hate-filled) culture in the US where wannabe manly men who hate everything woke etc are in a permanent war with feminists who are convinced that all masculinity is toxic.

It's not so much that "guys have to up their game" but that the entire culture is emotionally dysfunctional, and dating is stuck in a kind of permanent adolescence where healthy give-and-take relationships aren't modelled at all.

Can you think of one movie or TV show which models a realistically happy working adult marriage which isn't either sentimental and idealised, or doesn't end in drama, tragedy, and betrayal?
You can have regulations only apply to companies that operate in multiple states or countries, that are based on cash-on-hand, number of employees, amount of revenue, etc.

The last I heard ( meaning it's hearsay) they were not well grounded in the practical aspects ( as opposed to theoretical) of these subjects either.
I have ideas that are interesting and am pursuing them to some extent, but I don't see any personal value in operating anything beyond a small business, either as an individual or small team doing something else. There's a massive personal cost in running any business, and unless you have the secret actual privilege of connections, cash, and business influence out the gate or early on, it seems like a massive burden.

Edit: My choice of words was a little confusing. I meant that the scale I'd consider pursuing would be at most a tiny team, but more likely just me with some delegate contractors, or a traditional small business like a coffee shop. The amount of definite cost in seeking possible fortune through higher scale startups is not something I'm set up for or am interested in.

Show the treaty where anything about Eastern NATO expansion was said, anything written and signed?

The only thing that's close is that there would be no foreign troups stationed in East Germany, this was a Soviet condition to agree to the reunification (and guess what, there aren't any to this day).

NATO isn't forcing countries under their umbrella, countries apply to join NATO instead.
I was referring to the flagged posts, not the removed. Like I said, most of the time those removed are understandable to the TOC of the site.

It’s the flagged where I suspect the zealotry. Interesting topics and great discussion can get suppressed and essentially killed.
Templates are amazing at helping to extract performance from things by moving run time decisions to compile time when done well. I usually only go there when the profiler points me somewhere is either acting as a bottleneck or something requires to perform better. You can then even decide to go even further through branching to cases you can go into SIMD intrinsics.
Yeah, me. It ensures that the binary you have is really from who it claims to be from, which can also be ensured by acquiring it through a secure channel (e.g. an HTTPS-enabled website or package repository).

It doesn't give you any guarantees about the binary being free of malware - only that it's really published by the entity you got it from.

Granted: Now an actor who wants to inject malware has to hijack the build process rather than only the website, but somehow I'm not convinced that's worth 600$/year and a lot of technical effort that could be put into securing the distribution chain.
You can still meet people today outside of dating apps. A good friend of mine met his gf at a surf hostel. I met my gf on a boat in the Maldives. I think most people would objectively say she is out of my league if they saw us in a photo together.

I think the hardest part about meeting someone is being in a situation to meet them. If your life is something like: sleep -> eat -> work -> repeat, it's very hard to meet someone.

Traveling makes it much easier on my opinion.
Ironically, despite being touted as individual work, this kind of success and excellence requires institutions to be recognized.

> Is it mediocre to spend as much time it requires to get a PhD becoming a good pastry chef or carpenter? In the west very likely yes, unless you're an "entrepreneur".

Or, unless you apply your skill into pursuing a bakery career, or a celebrity career (e.g. by running a baking channel on YouTube). Being good at something alone doesn't get you past being perceived as mediocre at best - you have to have an external institution attest for it. PhD, that's easy - the title is itself an attestation. Baking? Proof is in running a successful bakery[0], or in being called a great baker in mass media articles, or in running a popular baking show, etc.

I guess that's implicit in the whole philosophy of "self-improvement" being conditioned on how others see you.

There are notable exceptions. In scientific programming, code is tightly linked to scientific context and explaining stuff in prose is vital for being able to understand. Often, people claiming their code just reads itself just haven't worked on hard enough problems. Other than that, people seem to mistake the reason for having documentation: we aren't necessarily (just) explaining how something works, rather why you made a certain choice, why the alternative doesn't work etc.

Yes, writing a good literate program is more work, and it may not be for everything, but there are many cases where this approach can help communicating your work and save time in the process.

That being said, I'm not a huge fan of Org-mode, since it forces Emacs onto your collaborators. A much nicer method based on Markdown is Entangled: https://entangled.github.io/, though disclaimer: I'm the author of Entangled ;)
I think if studying the rules of running a business is enough work to discourage you from founding a business, then it’s probably not the right path for you anyway.
