The way I am reading this comment chain — you will never be able to prove whether there is a reality outside of your own. The logic and whether solipsism is socially acceptable does not really matter in this context.

I don’t buy into that idea, but any question about consciousness that will never be answered during my lifetime is always something fun to dabble with.

> This is why it falls apart: culture is really hard to scale. If you don't have mechanisms in place to enforce this behavior, then people are going to drift. This is extra true for commit behavior, because it doesn't matter how a PR is broken down into commits; CI doesn't run on every commit.

You can run CI on every commit if you want, or have a pre-commit hook to run tests, or just accept that it won't be 100%. In my experience running the build+test when you commit is self-enforcing, because otherwise you end up hitting a failure at the CI stage and that slows you down.

> So when things Go Wrong, it is very unlikely that the buggy commit had CI run on it and the commit before, so it's probably not atomic.

If you allow frequent commits then commits are more likely to end up atomic. But also the worst case is that you fall back to what you had before - your bisect script should already skip commits that fail in-tree tests, so in the worst case your automated bisect reports that the break happens somewhere in the range of commits that's one whole PR. Usually you do better than that.

This pairs well a paper comes from the Dunedin longitudinal study, which has been following ~1000 people who were born in 1972/1972 in one area of New Zealand: "Deep-seated psychological histories of COVID-19 vaccine hesitance and resistance" [0]

The paper includes the interesting finding that vaccine resistant/hesitant and vaccine acceptant individuals had very different (not to mention statistically significant) personality profiles at 18 years of age.

From the abstract:

"Vaccine-resistant and vaccine-hesitant participants had histories of adverse childhood experiences that foster mistrust, longstanding mental-health problems that foster misinterpretation of messaging, and early-emerging personality traits including tendencies toward extreme negative emotions, shutting down mentally under stress, nonconformism, and fatalism about health. Many vaccine-resistant and -hesitant participants had cognitive difficulties in comprehending health information. Findings held after control for socioeconomic origins. Vaccine intentions are not short-term isolated misunderstandings. They are part of a person's style of interpreting information and making decisions that is laid down before secondary school age. Findings suggest ways to tailor vaccine messaging for hesitant and resistant groups."

I was a DEC-head in the 70's and 80's, and along with my fellow DEC-heads anxiously awaited DEC's entry into the PC arena. Everyone was excited to see the rollout of the Rainbow, sure it would be a killer machine like other DEC machines. After the presentation, we were all in shock. It did not play to any of DEC's strengths, and was just a crummy, proprietary x86 insult.

That was the end of our love affair with DEC. Very sad.
A prisoner.

I love that you've pointed out a way that having a community can be harmful as well.

One can have a community that isn't supportive, and that can be harmful. As you point out, you're grateful you were able to have access to other communities that helped you in life.

One can have a supportive community that is supporting something that might be harmful, as well. I got out of the community that raised me quick as lightning. They were decent, good-hearted people; they just had different ideas what they were willing to accept out of members of their community.

It's very much a Goldilocks problem. Everyone needs to find the community that's "just right", and that's hard. Even with the internet, because it's so easy to find the harmful but supportive communities.

i think it was sulfur dioxide that was the culprit in those deaths, and the einstein-szilard refrigerator was also an ammonia-absorption refrigerator, though it didn't have leak-prone moving seals https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einstein_refrigerator

ammonia-absorption refrigerators of more or less the einstein-szilard type still aren't leak-proof, even without moving seals as you will easily learn if you go to a junkyard to find spare parts for one (they're still popular in rvs, and i stayed in a hotel room earlier this year that had one, manufactured within the last decade)

freon was a huge safety improvement over early vapor-compression refrigerants like propane and sulfur dioxide, but ammonia-absorption refrigerators are a different beast entirely
The entire US Navy is a massive subsidy for the petroleum industry and has been for a century.

And here we are probably bitching about getting government contracts for space launches when SpaceX is the one that's dropping the fundamental economics of orbital lifting possibly by one to two decimal points.

The United launch alliance gains far more benefits from aggressive government contracts and sponsorship than SpaceX does.

Ask for the other common source about this complaint, the fact that Tesla gets some large amounts of sponsorship money from cafe gas efficiency credits it gets paid for by other companies, well that is regulation that is functioning as designed.

I get that musk is stupid and says mean things, is arrogant, sexual harasses women, and still I would likely put 100 CEOs above him for bad people, and maybe 1000. It's just that you're typical. Horrible CEO has learned to STFU.
There is no dresscode at the opera.

The only way in which it’s an issue is Musk being a libertarian opposed to government spending. He has repeatedly spoken against spending. He strongly opposes the infrastructure bill. I haven’t checked but the infra bill has an EV section and I suspect Tesla will get infra money. Presumably he believes using taxpayer money to build his own companies is the good kind of capital allocation, but it’s facetious to speak against a thing when you can’t get enough of it for yourself.

> If anything, after doing a complicated arduous change writing a nice simple message to summarize it is really cathartic and destressing (for me at least).

Sure. But the point is to get away from doing those "complicated arduous change"s, and split them up into much smaller pieces. Being able to commit without breaking your flow helps a lot with that.

> But realistically the point of good commit messages is similar to the point of code formatting standards, which is to prevent the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broken_windows_theory on your codebase. If everything you do is held to a high standard, you'll hold everything you do to a high standard. If the organization stops doing that quality stays the same for a while but eventually slips and slips and slips. It is important to always enforce slightly more quality than you have now to keep the momentum in the other direction.

This is a purely circular argument. "It's important to have high quality commit messages so that you will have high quality commit messages". It really isn't.
Not really, but it seems like Twitter's recommendation engine tends to skew to a few hundred accounts/topics that I interact with the most. If something like 10-15% of accounts I follow just stopped posting, I wouldn't even notice (in fact, that might be the case!). It doesn't seem any less active than it did before Musk took over.

The big change since he took over is that now I have to block a dozen or so people every day who are just on the opposite end of who I would ever want to interact with. Not just politically, but people actively seeking to be harmful to others in one way or another. Before that, I went 14 years of using Twitter daily and had only blocked a few spam accounts.
Probably more significantly: about 30-40% of UK energy use is gas central heating which is 90-95% efficient. Electric heat pumps (beginning to be installed in numbers the U.K.) are 300-400% efficient.

The fact that I wear one on my wrist and glance at it by chance without having to remember. The fact that there’s a clock on every appliance in my house and I look at those without intention to do so. Maybe all of that is subconscious action based on my perception of time. I’m not sure.
> CHP is also, IMO, cheating since the retrofits to take advantage of the waste heat aren't simple or non-invasive - i.e. theoretically CHP could power hot water and air conditioning for me via heat pumps, but in practice doing any of that residentially is prohibitively expensive.

CHP is widely used in Scandinavia at least, not to mention almost all new houses here are built with water borne in-floor heating as it is much more efficient (lower circulation temperature due to more surface area for heat dissipation).
I'd like to see something similar done for Tick bite/Lime disease and bed bugs, they both seem to be accelerating their reach past decade or so.

btrfs receive has some limitations for sure. I don't think having the volume mounted is a problem, but during the transfer the snapshot is read/write. If you modify the volume, subsequent differential updates will fail. If you have some other process messing with the snapshot being received, you also risk messing up the send/receive. There are also limitations w.r.t. the way the volume is mounted; if you alter the default mount point or mounted a subvolume somewhere deep in the chain, receive will also fail.

If you have a BTRFS volume on a server that exists purely to receive backups and separate the subvolumes sufficiently (i.e. using specific subvolumes for the different backed up devices), I don't think send/receive should be a problem.

I wouldn't back up to the root partition of a running system, I think a dedicated data volume makes a lot more sense design-wise.
The images are fake, so this just seems like another form of bullying to me, with possibly an added sex dimension, which is always a red-hot button for anglo-protestant societies.

Is this really much different to bullies sending out pictures of the victims marked up with slurs? Or even cartoons depicting them in degrading situations or acts, eg like a cartoon of Mohammed with his pants down maybe, or of politicians and pigs and whatever.
Public Opinion (1922) [pdf]
A classic, but a cynical one in that.

"But what is propaganda, if not the effort to alter the picture to which men respond, to substitute one social pattern for another?"

"Without some form of censorship, propaganda in the strict sense of the word is impossible. In order to conduct a propaganda there must be some barrier between the public and the event. Access to the real environment must be limited, before anyone can create a pseudo-environment that he thinks wise or desirable."

"And finally since opinions do not stop at the normal members of society, since for the purposes of an election, a propaganda, a following, numbers constitute power, the quality of attention is still further depressed. The mass of absolutely illiterate, of feeble-minded, grossly neurotic, undernourished and frustrated individuals, is very considerable, much more considerable there is reason to think than we generally suppose. Thus a wide popular appeal is circulated among persons who are mentally children or barbarians, people whose lives are a morass of entanglements, people whose vitality is exhausted, shut-in people, and people whose experience has comprehended no factor in the problem under discussion. The stream of public opinion is stopped by them in little eddies of misunderstanding, where it is discolored with prejudice and far fetched analogy."

He surely didn't rank high his fellow men and women. That said, a fairly good conclusion on the press, (fake) news, and the truth (pp. 363--364):

"Therefore, on the whole, the quality of the news about modern society is an index of its social organization. The better institutions, the more all interests disentangled, the more objective criteria are introduced, the more perfectly an affair can be presented as news. At its best the press is a servant and guardian of institutions; at its worst it is a means by which a few exploit social disorganization to their own ends."

> Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but TPM shifts the password input prompt from traditionally LUKS during boot, to your XDM or whatever display manager you're using?

It doesn't "shift" it, it's not the same password. It doesn't work the way it does on a mac, where your user password unlocks the drive so you don't have to enter it again to unlock your user session.

Assuming you don't have autologon turned on, without this scheme, you'd have to enter two passwords: LUKS first during boot, then your user password in the XDM. With this scheme, you skip the first password.

But yeah, if you don't enable any other protection, like TPM+PIN, your PC will boot on its own all the way to the login manager. So if you don't trust your login manager, that's an issue.
ADHD presents a variety of symptoms, not the same ones for everyone. The “H” (“hyperactive”) part in particular often doesn’t manifest (and that’s how many children become undiagnosed adults- hyperactivity is easier to spot). If you don’t have time dislexia, that doesn’t mean that others don’t.
I read an essay by a guy that worked on project to produce a DEC minicomputer using ECL logic. And there was yet another group working on the DEC Alpha. At the time the main group was using most of the companies resources betting the company on dethroning IBM in the main frame arena. And was trying to stab the Alpha and Minicomputer group in the back.

So probably not.

Suspect IBM's skunk work project was done as a hedge and anti-trust reasons. Personal Computers were going to take some business away from them they wanted it to be their product not someone else. Anti-trust also meant it needed to use off the shelf stuff.

Do you have any figures for the hydrogen storage vs nuclear point? I’m not saying you’re wrong but it goes against intuition.

Both hydro storage and hydrogen have the same problem: not all locales have elevated valleys or underground caverns. I’ve heard some talk about using natural gas pipelines for hydrogen storage, but that has its own issues.
Colossal Order is in Finland and Paradox Interactive is in Sweden, both of which have strong employment laws.
I really think we’ll discover that programming is toxic for the brain. Mechanisms:

- Intense loss of memory, inability to remember names and faces, since everything can be written down all the time,

- Periods of flow interrupted by compilation time, change of topic (looking at the web), within a lot of stress (want to deliver the feature, excited to set up the architecture),

- Long hours working, sometimes into the night, thus grave loss of sleep,

- Sedentary intellectual-only work, no use of the body, and more importantly no use of facial features, no smile, no talking for hours and even years long.

- Eventually, social networks top up all those with intense context-switching and dopamine addiction,

Leading to early onset of Alzheimer, or, as we’ll call it, Eastbound Disease.

Of course that doesn’t have to be your fate! But programming takes you into that slippery slope very easily.

This is all very unfortunate. However - once the world realizes that deepfakes can be generated virtually for free and for anyone, no one will trust them. We might even be better off with them rather than without as no one could tell if a genuinely leaked photo of yours is real. The same has happened with phone records as evidence in court (in some countries)

Leaving that aside, Australia might be back on track to export sunlight via cable to Singapore.

The distance and the technology don't concern me nearly as much as the route; it's a hotbed of faults, a few deep trenches, and prone to earthquakes and volcanoes.

I also question the implied snub of Indonesia - they have a very large population and might appreciate some power, Australia may also benefit from the diplomacy aspects also.
For Kant, space is the a priori condition of external experience. Time, the a priori condition of internal experience.

Space and time are conditions of human experience and hence human knowledge is limited to only phenomena in time and space.

And morals. We get a priori knowledge of morals. And that’s the important thing for Kant.
He tried to be cutesy and show how an enumeration of the criteria for these categories form "judgments" which define the categories themselves, essentially suggesting that this is likely to work since the analytical domain fundamentally involves self-consistency.

I wouldn't think you could get bounds misses without doing extra comparisons, so I'd expect real-world sort implementations to just fail to sort, which doesn't seem particularly unreasonable. But in any case, it's a huge leap from "existing C++ stdlib implementations behave badly in this case" to "the C++ standard requires every implementation to behave badly in this case".
> But the ideal tool should also try to handle the opposite case well too... a huge collection of unique ~100KiB files.

and

> But the pathological case is even worse -- what if nearly all of your files are about the same size?... If you want to quickly verify none of the files are dups, reading one block from each is far more efficient than hashing them all.

I agree this is a worthy consideration. No sense in reading the entirety of each of those files when only reading the first block would do, in order to remove the uniques early. If I were to redo the util, it'd probably be something like:

1. Group all files into lists of same file sizes.

2. After all files are read, eliminate any groupings with just one file, these are unique files

3. Read first N bytes to pare down files in those lists, (so now the key is filesize and hash-of-first-N-bytes or even filesize and first-N-bytes if N is small enough, either way)

4. After each filesize-group is subgrouped by first-N-bytes evaluation, eliminate any subgroupings with just one file, these are unique.

5. What remains are files fairly likely to be duplicates.

5a. For users that consider this "good enough", allow them to stop here. (Some deduper tools do this)

5b. For everybody else, in order to make sure the files are dupes or not, the files can next be subgrouped by fully byte-for-byte comparison and/or hashed, whatever the user is good with.

6. The remaining groupings of two or more files are dupes.

In the end I opted not to go for this rewrite, at least not yet, because I got sidetracked thinking about how the whole reason I'm doing this in the first place is because the way I've backed up data across all my machines for years is pretty horrible, all things considered, and now I've got my wife's data to consider too, and I still want my data to be locally available on my laptop, and I don't want to entirely rely on cloud services for syncing, and, and, and... so now I'm making a tool for all that. And then when it is finished, somebody can come along and say "you could've just used owncloud and syncthing and rclone and a pair of external drives, good grief man."

Still though, I might rework the deduper logic anyway.
