> Sadly you can't expect people to work a month+ for free for cracking games with arguably less quality every year.

True, at least one solace is that Denuvo is now a time-restricted SaaS, so if a game is old enough, Denuvo is often removed as the license duration has passed. So at the very least, we are still getting DRM-free games, we just have to become /r/patientgamers, a great sub by the way for these kinds of discussions on older games.

Interesting that on the page of AI use cases[1], as well as the "full list" CSV[2], Department of Defense is simply left out. I guess they're happy to advertise all the Good Uses of AI, but don't want to publicize the Bad Uses that are definitely being pursued.

Yes-like Meta, or Threads, or Apple, Glean, Element, X, Zoom, etc.

If you choose a generic word for your brand name, don't be surprised when a bigger company chooses the same generic word and ruins your SEO. This has happened before. Maybe it's not fair, but it's extremely foreseeable. It seems much easier to me to choose a creative name in the first place than to risk a legal battle wherein you have to prove that really you should be able to use that dictionary word because you thought of it first. As other commenters have pointed out, since Threads (Meta) and Threads (software) operate in different spaces, Threads's (software) claim for exclusivity is tenuous anyway.
In which case the author can happily ignore all the reviews!
That's completely backwards.

In order to determine whether you can afford to retire, you need to be looking at recurring expenses, not illiquid assets. If you have an expected monthly income from your 401k of, say, $1200, but your mortgage payment is $800/month, it doesn't matter that you've got $150k already paid into it and only another 10 years left to go; you can't afford to retire now![0]

Yes, it's theoretically possible (depending on how much equity you actually have, and your credit score) to take out a home equity loan to provide you with money to live on in your retirement, but a) there's interest payments to think of, which put you right back at the top of this post looking at monthly expenses, and b) if this is a significant part of your net worth (which, for many of these people, it absolutely will be), this means that at best you're leaving your heirs with a bunch of debt and no house, and at worst the bank just won't let you do it in the first place. And while there is certainly a perfectly reasonable discussion to be had of whether it's better to use the money for yourself now, and not care about your family, making that selfish choice is far from universal.

SSI is still useful today in Apache/Nginx when you're developing very large complex static sites: you can factor out the parts of your HTML template which change often, like anything to do with CSS/JS, and upload them separately. (The SSI can be seen as a very simple static site generator which happens to run in the web server.)

SSI worked well enough that I doubt that header/footers were blog's killer app. As I recall, what really made blog software compelling was the commenting system for regular discussion of chronological posts. The 'flat' homepage didn't work too well with lots of small chronological squibs, and the 'guestbook' functionality didn't work well at all.

When you reorganized a homepage to sort pages chronologically by date and have guestbooks on each one... you have a blog.
That first argument just sounds like bullying and may be anti-competitive business practices. IANAL but I think refusing a specific person's access to your product specifically because they refused to sign a separate contract with you would be seen as a pretty clear case of you abusing your market control and probably some form of coercion. I'd love to see FB declare that - but it's much more likely they'd stick to "Oh, violated our TOS for some reason".

> If you use the Pi as a server it's not an order of magnitude cheaper than a cheap NUC

I use my $15 RPi Zero as a git server[1], and it is literally an order of a magnitude cheaper at current prices. I bought the one I have for $5 (it was a promo, but still. That's how cheap Raspberry Pi's can get).

> If you want to use a pi as a server you won't get away with a slow microSD that kills itself every year, you'll need to add a real SSD

You'll need a good power supply if your Pi is destroying your SD cards. I lost a few before I wised up, and it's been years aince I replaced the SD card

1. Also hosts wireguard, has a bunch of webcrawlers and coordinates secondary backups between NAS and the cloud. It may not host docker containers, but the Pi is solidly in the "server" category for me, while consuming less than 1 Watt.

That's the official response, sure. How does it make business sense to store data about _all web users_ on the very small chance that a tiny percentage of them will sign up to FB and have a better UX? It doesn't, _unless_ they're profiting from that data in some way.
Our everyday lives are filled with numerous requests and opportunities. We always want to do more and seize every chance that comes our way. But have you ever thought about that sometimes, saying “no” can be the healthiest choice you can make?
Microservices definitely predate k8s, but sure, lots of people use k8s. I don't know what penalty you're referring to. There is a minor impact on network performance for containers measured in microseconds under some configurations. Maybe Kubernetes makes that worse somehow? I think it does some proxying stuff so you probably pay for a local hop to something like Envoy. If Envoy is on your system and you're not double-wrapping your TLS the communication with it should stay entirely in the kernel, afaik.

http://domino.research.ibm.com/library/cyberdig.nsf/papers/0...

In no way is this throwing out performance. It's sort of like saying that Kafka is in Java so you're throwing away performance when you use it, when there are massive performance benefits if you leverage partition isolation.

> Many of these have no desire to communicate over network, and your micro- or w/e size services will have to cave in to their demands. Simple example: want to use Docker? -- say hello to UNIX sockets. Other components may require communication through shared memory, filesystem, and so on.

I'm not sure what you're referring to. Why would that matter at all? I mean, ignoring the fact that you can easily talk to Docker over a network.

> Finally, isolation is not a feature of microservices,

Isolation is a feature of any process based architecture, whether it's SoA, actors, or microservices.

> well, you might have function-level isolation, but you won't have class- or module- or program-level isolation,

You get isolation at the service layer. I don't see why that would be contentious, it's obvious. If you're saying you want more isolation, ok, you can write your code to do that if you'd like.

> first doesn't prescribe the size.

Yep, the actor model is very low level. Microservice architecture is far more prescriptive. It's one of the reasons why I think Microservice architecture has been far more successful than actor based systems.

Being big is also a problem, but I did in fact mean heat.

"Not melting itself" is not the threshold we need to meet for a phone. We should probably consider 5 thermal watts the limit. If we have a 30% efficient betavoltaic panel, then we can produce 1.5-2 watts of device power within that limit. If we have a 5% efficient panel, then we're only getting a quarter of a watt. A quarter of a watt can stop an idle phone from draining, but you'd only recover about 1% of a normal phone battery per hour.

By the time we're considering external devices, I think "battery bank with a solar panel" beats betavoltaic on the technical merits even when we're ignoring difficulty and radiation. Even a tiny panel built into the back of a phone generally wins.
More CO2 also correlates with population which is beginning to level off (if world war doesn't cause it to drop).

Compare the OP's chart to the climate-population one here: https://www.cbc.ca/news/science/population-climate-change-1....

Population decrease won't stop global warming but global warming will lower population quicker, which will likely then be reciprocal.

Sadly it'll likely be the poorest that bear the brunt of it (high price food, expensive land to live on, poor living conditions due to heat), but hopefully we'll innovate more extreme weather resistant crops, ways to remove CO2, plant more trees etc.

The raid-stripe-tree is exciting for multiple reasons.

For one, it finally solves the raid56 write-hole similar to how zfs does, by never updating the stripe in-place.

And it is developed by Western Digital for use in zoned storage (host managed SMR), so there is a commercial user of btrfs raid now. This was missing before and was the reason btrfs raid didn't go anywhere for so long.

Here's what the IPCC said [0]:

> “The technical geological CO2 storage capacity is estimated to be on the order of 1000 gigatonnes of CO2, which is more than the CO2 storage requirements through 2100 to limit global warming to 1.5°C, although the regional availability of geological storage could be a limiting factor.” – SPM, p. 37

Maybe an odd take, but I'm not sure what people actually mean when they say "AI terrifies them". Terrified is a strong wrong. Are people unable to sleep? Biting their nails constantly? Is this the same terror as watching a horror movie? Being chased by a mountain lion?

I have a suspicion that it's sort of a default response. Socially expected? Then you poll people: Are you worried about AI doing XYZ? People just say yes, because they want to seem informed, and the kind of person that considers things carefully.

Honestly not sure what is going on. I'm concerned about AI, but I don't feel any actual emotion about it. Arguably I must have some emotion to generate an opinion, but it's below conscious threshold obviously.

You won't be able to FIRE on $180k for 10 years (or less), not even close.

The thing about FIRE is you actually need way more money than regular retirement, because you have to plan for a 40+year retirement instead of a 15-20 year one. On top of that you need a higher margin to account for uncertainty.
I haven't seen this as a hard rule in people. My experience of people on the spectrum is they often just want a good clear reason to follow rules that seem like nonsense like bowing to authority. Neurotypical people just intuitively know the pros and cons of certain social rules in a way that might take neurodiverse people more active thinking to get. In geekier cultures you run into a lot of people on the spectrum so if I remember something could be a problem then it's not a big deal for me to explain this kind of thing ahead of time in a respectful way that makes sense ("I bet if we suck up to this guy well enough we'll get more funding for our team") so we're on the same page even if they think it's dumb. It takes effort on both sides to bridge the gap.
It's always good to approach historical CO2 measurements with a degree of skepticism, especially when they cover such an extensive timeline. How confident are we in the proxies used for pre-industrial CO2 levels? I wouldn't be surprised if we start seeing a decline in the future followed by a flurry of research into the causes of that.
IMO the problem with books is that it is extremely easy to write basically whatever narrative you want nowadays, backed by a long list of "citations" that are dubious at best.

Nobody can contradict what you say in book form.

Two books on the shelf: One says the left stole the election here are the receipts to prove it, the other says the right lied about the election here are the receipts to prove it. Both presumably have an internally consistent narrative that attempts to convince you the story they are selling is THE story.
