The reason to work for Amazon is strictly $$$.

Facebook and Apple offer the same $$$, with much less toxicity. If you can't get a job there and need money, Amazon is a rational choice. At my cost-of-living, if I worked for Amazon for about five years, I could retire.

In my current job, I get half to a quarter of what I'd make at Amazon, but enjoy life. That's worth it. But if it stops being meaningful and fun, perhaps at some point I might go somewhere where I can pay off my mortgage in two years.

"The youth of today love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority, disrespect for elders, and love talking" ~ Socrates, 432 BC.

The only older than elders writing off the youth is the youth proving them wrong. Let's hope some follow Charlie's quote instead: "If you've got anything you really want to do, don't wait until you're 93. Start now, and don't stop!"

Exactly. Write-through cache is exactly how Userify[0] used to work for self-hosted versions. (when it was Python, we used Redis to keep state synced across multiple processes, but now that it's a Go app, we do all the caching and state management in memory using Ristretto[1])

However, we now install by default to local disk filesystem, since it's much faster to just do a periodic S3 hot sync, like with restic or aws-cli, than to treat S3 as the primary backing store, or just version the EBS or instance volume. The other reason you might want to use S3 as a primary is if you use a lot of disk, but our files are compressed and extremely small, even for a large installation with tens of thousands of users and instances.

I don't think we shouldn't show it. Now is just a bad time. The social media misinformation networks are quite frankly more organised than the organised media and the organised media's press standards are low because they want to get the first story out of the door if it's accurate or not.

It's a disaster zone.
> While the dorm rooms themselves don’t have windows, the exterior of the building does, which lets natural light into the communal living spaces.

The reasoning was too encourage people to hang out in common areas to create more of a community feeling. Whether you think that's necessary or a good idea (I went to college long ago, but there wasn't any need to have architecture diving our community), it's not the same as a dorm without windows.

https://edition.cnn.com/2021/10/29/business/ucsb-munger-hall...
It's dolomite, baby!
First, it is no natural light in the room where your bed is. Munger never said humans don't need natural light in general.

I imagine a few cavemen beating up the first person to build a two story house, because anyone who thinks humans should live off of the ground is not anyone they are interested in taking advice from.

Also, consider that Munger already built a mostly windowless dorm for UofM ~10 years ago, and it is one of the highest rated dorms for the university. And that has fewer affordances for simulating natural light than the UCSB design did.
> There are no parasitics, it's a topological phenomenon.

This is why my only use of the word was in quotes. I'm not disagreeing. RF people, where these effects are non-negligible/primary, embrace this topological reality completely, with their tooling. What you're saying isn't new, it is known. The only people calling it "parasitics" are coming from the simplified models, where these effects were negligible or mitigated by some rule-of-thumb to make them negligible.

There has been work on what you're saying for many decades, as can be seen in the tooling. The AI aspect of it has been attempted through the decades, without success, yet. But, this is a very active area of research.
Isn't this like the saying "pain may not be your fault but it's your responsibility"?
That'd be a fun Halloween costume. "I'm a functional radar."
Yeah. "He wouldn't have hit me if I had just kept my mouth shut, I know how angry it makes him when I ask about money."

I want to say this position is despicable, but that's not a very charitable reading. But I fail to see how 'making everything your own fault' is in any way a healthy mechanism for dealing with others. Other people DO make mistakes. Other people have loads that they ARE expected to carry. Other people ARE expected to comport themselves a certain way. This not only absolves anyone but yourself of any responsibility to do anything, but it also offers yourself up as a scapegoat to anyone who needs one.
Damn, time gets us all.

Trends in Deep Learning Hardware: Bill Dally (Nvidia) [video]
I'm sorry, I assumed everybody was familiar with the classic Dr. Seuss story "The Sneetches", which is about a race of bird things where some have stars on their bellies and some don't but are otherwise indistinguishable but have a segregated society that devolves into chaos when some guy makes a machine that can add or remove stars. The whole thing is an allegory for racism, but it applies here:

You state that women shying away from the right is evidence of fundamental sexual differences, when in fact the right has made a point of adopting anti-women positions which make them unappealing to all but the most self-sabotaging.

Yes, some aspects of Islam seem to be based on the views of the Ebionites, an early Christian sect who used a Hebrew version of Matthew (instead of Greek) and whose beliefs about Jesus (not God, didn't actually die, etc.) ended up in Islam.
Yes, I know that ACLs, security contexts, and zfs/btrfs parameters aren't going to move. This would be know as "filesystem metadata," and the send/receive operations on zfs/btrfs would be the best bet to preserve them.

Thanks for the nice references. When I read documents, I look to organize and link information in a way that helps me recall its context. Another realization is that papers are often read with different 'hats' - as a reader, as a reviewer, or as a writer. To help my own process I built a document-reading that helps me curate, visualize, and recall personal knowledge as I read and annotate research papers; the app also extracts data from documents such as URLs and references - https://www.knowledgegarden.io

Well, in context, Jesus has just said you must come as a child. And He finishes with those who would be first shall be last.

Children aren't focused on money and they were always last. It's hard to be childlike (totally dependent) when you think you're autonomous and wealth tends to solidify the illusion of autonomy.

I don't think the literal meaning of the Greek word matters that much to grasp the meaning of the account.

The analysis at least assumes Jesus said it and it was recorded in 3 Gospels. If one starts with that, Jesus (Whomever one believes He was [1]) meant something, used some word, and the listeners understood what He meant enough to ask a follow-up question.

In his advice to Timothy, Paul warns how a focus on words in an effort to "gain" is harmful:

"[He] is puffed up with conceit and understands nothing. He has an unhealthy craving for controversy and for quarrels about words, which produce envy, dissension, slander, evil suspicions, and constant friction among people who are depraved in mind and deprived of the truth, imagining that godliness is a means of gain. But godliness with contentment is great gain, for we brought nothing into the world, and we cannot take anything out of the world."
1 Tim 6:4-6

I think it ties in nicely with what Jesus said about how wealth/gain is often a hindrance to childlike humility, innocence, and trust.

[1] I agree with Peter when Jesus asked him "Who do you say that I am?"
A lot of this stuff is off books- kids working in the family business in rural areas, and kids working with fake papers.

Off-topic: that "Why did we write this article?" box after the first paragraph is really nice IMO, SEO maybe, but also useful for humans.
yes, LTO itself does not inline but from a user point of view it does, and that is exactly my point. If you are a beginner and you do not come from C, then you might not think about these things (maybe you do I did not).

I get that it is just an implementation detail, but so are many things in C++ and you usually care about these things otherwise you would not be using the language in the first place.

Many projects also disable exceptions that is also an 'implementation detail' (or at least something that is definitely not required by the standard I would imagine), but now you are technically not writing C++ anymore.

I guess this is also one important thing when learning C++. The community is very fragmented, and there seems to be disconnect between C++ users and committee.
It's more like focusing on what caused the pain instead of what to do about it.

> A carbon tax also fits well into the capitalist, "don't tell me what to do" self-indulgent society we live in.

Seeing how people bitch and moan about the price of gas every time it goes up (even when it was cheaper than it was a year prior), and how it has sparked multiple revolts around the world, like the yellow vests in France, I wouldnt hold my breath that people will happily accept taxing gas in accordance to its externalities, regardless of whether it is the right thing to do.
The more apt comparison would seem to be a law banning something else described as imaginary.

Would anyone object as strongly to a Unicorn ban as they would to a ban on caste based discrimination? We might think that the law is a waste in many ways, but no one could seriously object to the content of a Unicorn ban since it would have no real effect. The same would be true of explicitly making caste a protected class/race.

I'm not sure but is this meant ironically? Because taking a screenshot is a thing people do very often. Capturing your screen is, too. Even by third-party programs.
And yet they never put it in the protocol but just said to go to dbus.

> GNOME, KDE, and wlroots have each implemented a different protocol

Is that true? My understanding was that GNOME never put forth a protocol but always did their dbus thing. I know that wlroots proposed a bunch of protocol extensions but those never went anywhere since, well, GNOME didn't want to implement them[1].
Nowadays I think every compositor(?) just implements the xdg-portal stuff.

> He thought that every mischance in life was an opportunity to behave well, every mischance in life was an opportunity to learn something, and your duty was not to be submerged in self-pity but to utilize the terrible blow in a constructive fashion.

Feeling like a victim is not the same as wallowing in self-pity. Recognizing that you have been victimized in some way could easily be the first step towards taking ownership of your own circumstances and pushing for their improvement. Moreover, if you are being actively victimized it's probably not healthy in the long-term to pretend like it's "your fault", you're just going to make yourself crazy that way. Taking a clear view of the causes of your current circumstances is the only way you can act effectively, even if those causes are outside your locus of control. Playing these weird heuristic games to avoid "victim mentality" is just as deluded as drowning in "poor me".
I'm 40% dolomite!
The issues that got us to where we are with X are twofold and unlikely to repeat:

1) The nature of the hardware changed completely. The core X protocol [0] was designed around 2D shapes and is prepared to do things like FillPoly or PutImage. This means it was largely caught unaware by the move to shader-based graphics and the absurd amount of processing power we have todaty in graphics cards. Wayland from what I understand just manages buffers which is better design. Things like OpenGL were tacked on to X as an extension, and now pretty much everything wants to be handled through OpenGal, but the X design wasn't prepared for that.

2) That would have been enough to kill X from what I've seen, but ... the major vendors had horrible binary drivers that only supported X, so every fork or new project died. The big change was AMD buying ATI and taking the drivers open source from 2007, since then there have been the sound of plate tectonics as the Linux graphic stack has reformed because now it is possible to develop deep in the graphics stack independently of AMD/Nvidia support. Note that if Wayland needed to work well on Nvidia it would have likely died a decade ago.

So the positive things are Wayland probably won't be hit by the same level of hardware change, and if it is it is much easier to replace. Really what has changed is that the majority of vendors have open source drivers, and Nvidia is eventually going to fold and join the club. Not that it matters, anyone who cares in the Linux ecosystem buys AMD - this deep learning thing has been an unfortunate stumbling block but that looks like it will be transient to me.

I'm not necessarily blaming labor.

For example: a company that needs loyalty, but then does things like the layoffs we've seen recently (or earlier behavior consistent with that thinking), is creating insufficient culture of loyalty.
Many people are overweight by choice in the same way alcoholics or crack addicts are addicted to substances by choice. There are very powerful chemical and subconscious factors at play that make it incredibly difficult to exercise one's will. That semiglutides are proving to be remarkably effective at helping people both make better dietary decisions as well as reduce substance use, should tell you that the problem isn't as simplistic as you've made it out to be.
This only applies to a very small subset of victims who have the means to individually recover what has been taken from them. If you don't actually have the ability to do so, then pretending that you aren't a victim is just refusing to acknowledge reality. Awfully convenient for the person who put you in this situation.

The reason why people 'choose' to be victims is that it allows collective organization against the thing that has victimized them. This is not helplessness, this is taking power back.

Our (yellow) lab too. Her daily exercise was an hour long walk in the woods followed by 20-30 minutes at the dog park near the woods; and any activity post that was just following my mom around the house. But on rainy or snowy days where we couldn't take her out, the "search for the treat" or "kitchen floor patrol during dinner prep" seemed to engage her just fine.

She broke down towards the end (hip issues) but managed 13 years before taking a final nap. I miss her dearly.
I do not know anything about this source, but it may be true. Information warfare for influencing public opinion through online media has been developed since early 2000s by both USA and Russia through private firms.

I love it. Without even knowing about this particular quote, this has been my standard for myself for some years now. The “it’s always your fault” concept is scary to some folks—and I understand why—but it’s changed my life since I adopted it years ago.

Generally speaking, my framework is:

1. I’m NOT a victim.

2. I accept that everything that happens in my life is my fault.

3. I control the controllables; I can’t fix what I can’t control.

4. I must be a problem solver rather than a complainer.

5. Whatever happens in life, I give myself a cap of 48 hours to get over it—this includes being sad, grieving, being unproductive, etc.

I have a few more points in my framework, but these are the key ones.

Now, I want to be clear that you can, in fact, be a victim and things can happen in your life that isn’t your fault, which makes #3 seem a bit contradictory. But if you’re thinking like this, you’re missing the point.

The point is to have a framework that allows you to progress in life without allowing room for excuses.

When my wife first started dating me, she was skeptical of my framework—she said it seemed a bit too robotic. As we’ve gone through stuff life has thrown at us and she watches me fight through it all without ever curling up in a ball, she’s fully on board now.

I say all of this to say: Take control of your life. You can do it and it works.
Yep. And I wonder why we don't see more childhood cancer death images linked to the multinational chemical conglomerates and industrial corps that pollute our waterways and air continuously, it couldn't possibly have to do with corporate donors (sorry, advertising customers) to media or the incentive for media to only cover deaths that generate reader engagement and subscribers.

Kill 10,000 people 5-15 years earlier than their otherwise natural trajectory for death by dumping PCBs in the river (ignoring that additional cohorts will have an increased disease burden going forward for....decades? Centuries? Who knows if you can un-shit this bed), no one gives a shit apart from a symbolic fine of 1% of annual revenue 20 years later. Certainly no actual punishment for those involved.

Kill a couple thousand with a plane into a building and the world's most powerful country starts a war.
So Rivian aims to produce 50k vehicles this year and that includes the delivery vans. AND they lose $33k per vehicle.

Even if Tesla 'only' delivers 180k cybertrucks in 18 months, and at a profit, they will still be far in the lead in the EV truck race.

To characterize the Cybertruck as some kind of failure or folly is not congruent with the facts.
