It sounds like the phenomenon of getting affected by the death of some particular celebrity is very subjective.

For me there was a small “but he was young…” with Matthew Perry, but also an “oh well…”.

I frequently talk with my 84-year old neighbours. One lost her husband a year ago, the other one’s wife has dementia. They themselves are sharp as ever, but their whole world is a museum of memories. They have grand children, but everyone they knew is dead. They like company, but one said there’s something special about same-aged people, they share things with.

I don’t know when the death of a celebrity will hit me, but it’s probably when someone younger than me dies of non-accidental causes.
Fiat as in Polski Fiat? Yes. But for whatever reason they were kinda rare. Lada - yes - that and Moskvich: those were the ones designed to either decapitate you put any healthy human into a semi-vegetative state for the rest of their life.
No. This is not a good idea. You are not supposed to eat stuff. The whole point is to empty out your system.
It would not be great to be half way through the procedure when they say: “oh. Here is a bunch of M&Ms, we can’t see anything. We need to redo this procedure in a week. And this time don’t eat stuff…”

I have a friend that avoided it for most of his life.

When he finally got one (in his late fifties), it showed stage IV colorectal cancer.

He went through seven months of channeling Uncle Fester, but seems almost completely back to normal, now.

He is much more into taking care of himself, these days.
Most people on dating apps have never had a long term relationship (say 5 years or more of cohabitation) and have never got to the stage where they're completely accepting of and comfortable with their partner.

Nobody writes on tinder that they're looking for a partner who will laugh every time they toot while watching TV.

We're all shopping for beautiful, successful people who don't fart.
And nutrition of course.

This is utter tripe, it is well known that Khalistani nationalists (separatists in India) and illegal immigrants use fake cases of persecution in India and even have letters written by anti-Modi MPs to go abroad to show they are being persecuted as an excuse to get asylum in other countries.

That is obvious. Like saying the "sun is yellow because it is about 4.5 billion years old."

Even if sandboxing was thought about back when Linus was porting Unix, it would have been extremely slow as processors and ram was very limited back then. If we could go back in time and give them ridiculously fast processors and effectively unlimited ram like we have today, I'm sure Linux and Windows (er, DOS) would look quite different, and be much slower.

Just look at how slow mobile OS's are, despite being on ridiculously fast hardware. My Palm Pilot in 1998 felt faster and more responsive than most devices today. Android devices essentially require a human to manage the memory because starting just a few apps uses almost all of it. Even iOS devices can only run a few apps before it starts killing things. Sandboxing has an extremely high cost (with not much to gain), so high that even on modern hardware you start running into physical limits very quickly: memory, disk space, and processing power.

Until we can properly share resources in sandboxed apps (or increase the physical limits of the hardware) to a certain point, it just doesn't make sense to only be able to run a few things on a desktop machine.
Ivan Illich seems relevant, here:

> As Illich saw it, the rise of universalizing social technologies — that is, institutions managed by strangers — transgressed the traditional bounds of diverse vernacular communities and harnessed human endeavor to a trajectory of limitless growth, creating a “radical monopoly” over the ways and means of living that blunted any alternative to industrializing the desires of consumer society. In the process, persons and communities alike were deprived of the practical knowledge to shape tools according to their own defined needs and choices. Robbed of such competence, they became servants to the logic of those institutions instead of the other way around.

> His greatest insight was that when conviviality is swapped for productivity, monopolizing institutions that chart a singular path at mass scale become counterproductive to their original intent beyond a certain threshold.

> In his book “Energy and Equity” Illich illustrated this point in terms all could easily understand. As anyone who has driven on a freeway would agree, individual mobility turns into collective congestion when everyone has a car.

I am really curious as to why you enjoy propofol: is this in any way producing euphoria? Normally you should just feel really sedated then pass out, with little difference between this experience and being just tired then asleep. is the large-ish quantity of white fluid getting into you not off-putting?

It's fairly easy to make time for dating I find. I mean it requires the odd evening out and the odd day sacrificed which is manageable. The problem is that when you are successful you have no free time for your projects and stuff suddenly at all and that goes on forever.

Running isn’t an activity where you need much mental fortitude.

But in sailing in 10 Beaufort or climbing in extreme weather it is all about mental fortitude not physical strength or training. Some people just quit, give up and others stand at the steering wheel for 6 hours despite soaked clothes and blowing gale.
Living in a world of chaos means you have more opportunities to see potential darkness within yourself than the average person.

Thinking about dark things can be a side effect of being exposed to the dark parts of the world constantly. Suffering is inherently dark.

Systems are complex. It sounds like the DID system within your brain collapsed when a key part of the system stopped collaborating. That doesn't reflect on you: it would be like judging yourself for having an autoimmune condition, where your body is attacking itself. You don't have control over your autoimmune system.

I visualize it like this. There's the part of the brain that runs the DID system, and there's the part of the brain that culminates in your consciousness, which experiences the DID system. There's cross-talk between these systems because they use the same pathways.
At current costs, a price-optimal solar/wind/battery mix for handling existing electricity needs would have on the order of 400% overcapacity. All that extra electricity is what will power the hydrogen-generation.

The main challenge is building cheap electrolysers without so much regard to efficiency, in order to use all the power when available. Most commercially available electrolysers today are expensive and cannot ramp up and down quickly.

Yes, temperatures below absolute zero are possible and have been achieved (something to do with flipping the high and low energy states), but I stand by my comment that it isn't easy to measure and definitely a far more advanced concept for kids than negative numbers.

ABI is just the name for any binary interface between parts of a program, eg in C there is a well-defined and very long term stable ABI for calling and returning from functions: https://gitlab.com/x86-psABIs/x86-64-ABI/-/jobs/artifacts/ma... https://www.agner.org/optimize/calling_conventions.pdf

If you combine that with a stable set of C function names and parameters, then you could define an ABI for kernel device drivers if you (and the Linux developers) wanted. While it sounds like a good idea, the outcome probably wouldn't be great for users.

Stable ABIs work in other places. For nbdkit we defined a stable ABI for plugins and have maintained it for over 10 years, so a binary plugin written for 10 years old nbdkit can be loaded by modern nbdkit just fine (and we test this too). This was done to encourage proprietary modules, because that helps with our wider goal to make all block devices and formats visible through an open, interoperable protocol (ie. NBD). Implementing this wasn't very easy, since we also want to allow the plugin interface to evolve. It involves a bunch of C macros and careful expansion of C structs so earlier fields remain compatible while later fields add the new features. https://libguestfs.org/nbdkit-plugin.3.html#API-and-ABI-guar... https://gitlab.com/nbdkit/nbdkit/-/blob/9f96d53dbbbf67ae5ed0...
Absolutely with you. The great dissonance is between people's expectations and their reality, not the past and the present. Life for someone born poor even a century ago was brutal and oppressive in a way most of us have difficulty understanding.

I'm pretty new to the community, but I think there is something of a first-mover advantage which Python, PHP, JS, etc. have which Elixir does not: The former languages all have mature solutions to a lot of problems (in terms of packages available, not language capabilities) which Elixir has not had time to catch up to yet.

Plus since these solutions already exist, there is less incentive to switch things over to the newcomer when you already have something that is working.

I work every day, but don’t have a strict time limit.

Some days, it’s two hours; some days, 12. If I were to average, it probably comes to around four or five hours (out-of-the-arse guess).

WFM. YMMV.

Friday was a 12-hour, OCD day. I went the entire day without eating or drinking, as I was obsessing over finishing a dashboard app I wrote.

At the end of the day, I had a combined blood sugar crash/dehydration event.

... I am only a C expert, but I agree with the Slashdot guy. After spending years as a believer like the author, I realized all this class-ification effort was pure waste, since most of it would never be reused. Same with all the idiomatic conversions. Don't get me started on boost.

I withdrew from the cult and get just as much done with high quality C in half the time.
Are you sure? Afaik The way VW works is the companies themselves compete against each other and all brands within the corp have pretty big autonomy. They do use some of the same parts but they are designed and build in different places by different people. With EVs this might be unified even more but ICE VWs and Skodas feel quite differently. Just like you wouldnt say Audi or Porche is reskinned VW.
If anything VW (not the corp, the car brand) is probably upset that Skoda is taking some of their customers since they make better cars than they should.

Back in 2009 when I got my licence, I was really tempted to buy an '89 BMW e34 which had done 2.5 million kilometers. It was absolutely perfect in every way but I simply could not afford the fuel needed for a 3.5 liter straight six bi-turbo(it was the Alpina B10). I'd still get one if I find it for a reasonable price but that's kinda off topic. point is, it had done 2.5 million kilometers. As for the soviet cars, they rarely had done over 100k. A neighbor of ours when I was a kid had a lada and in it's 30 years it had done less than 35000km and for as long as people could remember, nothing that involved wires in the car ever worked. Point is, by those accounts, a mule is possibly the most reliable form of transportation and will likely outlast any car.
Do you know if that was a conscious decision for that reason? I always wondered why that operator was used instead of a + sign.
Not convincing to me.

I do agree with the general notion that working 8 productive hours everyday does not work long-term. But assuming that you could work three hours completely productively every day, that does not imply that the remaining five hours would be completely worthless. In a normal work week, I am sure you could get more out of the remaining 5x5 = 25 hours than the six hours at the weekend.

Especially the advice that you must stop after three hours even when you're "in the zone" seems hard to justify. Instead of insisting on a hard and fixed number of hours everyday, I think it's much more fruitful to follow a flexible time model (which is actually implemented in many work places today): if you happen to have a very productive day, just keep milking it and put in some extra time. In return, you can take that time off on some other day.

I think the appeal of "3 hours a day" is that the number is so extremely low compared to the number 8. But I don't think that it will work. Flexible time models also give you a pretty good work-life balance, and they're more realistic. I mean, for one, you won't find an employer who will follow this 3-hour model, so we're only talking about self-employed workers. But even then, it has to be a pure coding or other desk job - if it involved e.g. any meetings at all, how are you going to fit that into your small time budget of three hours only per day?

Yeah, like I said, I don't think that this model is going to work in most situations and for most people.
Sounds like a plan. How does one get such a job?

> Is uBlock Origin not free? I can't imagine browsing the web without an adblocker

Practically, as long as you are in the minority who use blockers, others will pay for your search.

What you see with YouTube striking on people with blockers is that they have become too popular. So using a blocker you will get a degraded service in the periods where the arms race tilts in favour of the advertiser.

I object to this premise: I never agreed to watch ads in the first place. If I’m not welcome on a platform when I remove the parts I’m not interested in, I’ll pick another platform.

“People are so much more magic in real life.” - I agree with that wholeheartedly.

It’s wonderful to meet new people, whether you’re looking to find a partner or not. But some life situations make it easier to do that than others. I met the love of my life at Uni - she wouldn’t have given me a second glance on a dating app, but the environment of University allowed us to be friends, and then evolve into more.

How do you emulate the Uni vibe in “adult life” though, with thousands of people having lots of things in common that they can start chatting on,with activities involving people they know and don’t know that they can dip in and out of, and with parties where they can let go of inhibitions?

Yes, people are much more magic in real life, and oftentimes the magic happens from being in different situations with them.
Moderating it is spam filtering. You limit signups to IP addresses in the the country of your target market and then ban signups from any IP address that tries to send an excessively large number of messages or has an excessively high block rate.

At that point you're down to real users who are jerks, the solution to which is the block button and a message sorting algorithm that takes into account how many times it's been used against someone.

Well, if Ubuntu Snaps are any indication, then I'm happy for the 1980s OS design. I mean, it's cool that you can get a sandboxed program with simple CLI comamnd. It sucks that it's completely useless until you figure out how to give it access to the host file system, because guess what, most software that's useful for anything other than entertainment needs to interoperate with other software using files.

To be fair, Android does it better in that at least the apps can call into system file picker, which lets me simultaneously navigate the host FS and grant the app access to specific files or folders (and it explains what it's doing).

Still, I'm worried, because decisions about future OS and platform architectures are increasingly made by people who grew up in the "apps era", and likely internalized the misguided idea that "data produced by a program belongs to that program", further disempowering the users (including, ultimately, themselves). This is in opposition to the idea that made computing ubiquitous and a tool for people to improve their lives: the idea that data is independent of the software that produced it; that the data files are owned by the user, can be copied and moved around using generic means, and worked on in many different software tools.
