"My entire childhood I watched both my parents, who both had 2 jobs, work themselves non-stop to try to provide for us. They didn't drink or do drugs or consider themselves victims, and it didn't help one bit."

You're here, are you not? Ironically it's Charlie Munger who is not. The game of life is played to stay in the game. If you're writing this comment, it seems like they succeeded, at least in the main storyline. They may have failed or chose not to start a bunch of the side quests, but it looks like they won the primary game.
Is there some study about this “phenomenon” this or is it all anecdotes?
This is a theater that has waitstaff that take orders and bring food and drinks to your seat as you watch the show.

> Israel on the other hand is funded by the US government, especially its military

Generally speaking, Israel is part of the West and we expect them to have a higher standard than some dictatorship.

That being said, how many deaths can be attributed to the US in Iraq or Afghanistan? I assume order of magnitude higher than what we're witnessing in Gaza. It seems Israel doesn't get the same free pass for some reason.

Since windows 7 there has only been one usable version of windows: Enterprise/LTSC. After finally being forced to upgrade to windows 10 because I was starting to have too many issues with outdated drivers, it’s serviceable with a few scripts that disable the telemetry and other annoyances in group policy.
I think it's an understandable focus: as a service worker, his most immediate recourse is to the people whose money he's handling.

We tested S3 Express for our search engine quickwit [0] a couple of weeks ago.

While this was really satisfying on the performance side, we were a bit disappointed by the price, and I mostly agree with the article on this matter.

I can see some very specific use cases where the pricing should be OK but currently, I would say most of our users will just stay on the classic S3 and add some local SSD caching if they have a lot of requests.

Adding some more:

* You get real honest-to-god dependency solving, no more having to number scripts so they run in the right order or working with magic comments.

* .targets are the correct abstraction over runlevels that do what people actually need them to do.

* How journald manages disk finally fixes the stupidity of logrotate edgecases.

* sysusers/tmpfiles is by far by far the best way to manage non-human users and application specific directories.

* The entire system is programmable in real programming languages without having to shell out to system("systemctl start ..."). The whole thing is dbus-first and systemctl is just a client to it like any other.

* You can make your own unit types with systemd-generators if the built-in ones aren't enough for you.

* The system for overrides finally solves the package management bullshit where the init script and the package manager fight.

* Built-in userspace oom killer.

* Makes user sessions a real thing on Linux instead of an ad-hoc set of conventions.

* sd-notify for service readyness checks is fantastic

* Parameterized services!
It should. Most medicine is just extracting plant chemicals, modifying them, concentrating them, and thereby they can patent what nature has provided.
Munger didn't say that you should deny being a victim. You should just not use that situation as an excuse for your future actions. Anyone can be victim of anything. But what you choose to do after that experience is the key.
You can use a different vendor any time, it's all S3 compatible. You just don't get the same performance and billing.
For most CPUs you can do multiple lookups at once and have multiple in flight. This would allow you to use 256 bytes which should be able to stay in lower level cache once you start doing any meaningful number of conversions.

So not necessarily enormous and dog slow... but the real test is put it with the rest of your real code and see what happens. If you come to a certain answer it may not stay the same for another real bit of code.
What does this mean?

Is this saying xorg server is dead?

I don't understand - there must be virtually infinite (relatively speaking) software built around xorg.

Is there an official announcement of the death of xorg or something?

I think it was raymond chen's blog that made it clear a lot of work was done by MS trying to survive the market with competition, legacy, partnership constraints .. a lot that was never mentioned because it wasn't a business argument and was just expected to be done behind curtains.
It's not all luck at all, but luck is critical.

Skill and hard work are what buy you the lottery ticket. Luck is what determines if the ticket pays or not. That's why almost all successful people have a string of failures behind them, and why the truism "you've only really failed when you stop trying" exists.

However, you can have skill and put in hard work and still never have the success you're seeking. It happens all the time.

Although much of this depends on how you define "success". I'm assuming here that it means monetary gain, but most people don't have "get rich" as their measure of success. In reality, success is being able to live a life that provides satisfaction and happiness. That's an easier thing to achieve.
> I don't think that the press publishing pictures of dead kids after school shootings will change anything in how the US views that issue specifically.

Hard to say. Maybe not overnight, but it can slowly move the needle.
There's a complex web of how disinformation and misinformation interact.

Misinformation spread by ignorant people to other ignorant people is bad, but I don't think it's really the problem here, and I don't think it should necessarily be censored.

The real problem is the engineered disinformation which is introduced into the wild by malicious parties for the purpose of causing political unrest. The downstream people who latch on to these made up ideas then become unwitting amplifiers and/or people who decide to act in real life (e.g. David DePape). They're the victims of these social engineering attacks.

Really, it's not much different than how malware spreads. It's just malware for social engineering.
That's certainly a bizarre perspective. Given the competition from developing nations and the advancements in machine vision and robotics, betting on manual labor seems seriously shortsighted.

The trades are valuable skilled labor that include some kind of education, which is totally different than the McWork these teens are being saddled with. There are minimal growth opportunities in being a waiter.
As far as I know, Knight was unique in that its orders were obviously stupid, but not obviously mispriced or mis-sized. It's not a case of a clear fat-finger error that would be visible to other market participants.

I know that in many markets, the exchange will reverse your trades if the counterparty made an obvious, visible error (eg $0 ask price on a limit order).
This is the "your job won't be taken away by AI, it will be taken away by someone who knows how to leverage AI better than you"
The biggest lie is whenever someone(s) claim to be "unbiased" or "neutral".

Not all agendas are created equal. Some positions on issues are obviously existential essential: economic inequality, pollution, climate change, legal system reform, policing reform, and healthcare costs. There are many other issues that are lower priority than existential threats that are debatable. And finally there are partisan cause célèbres that largely amount to bikeshedding. It's when those who benefit from espousing a particular issue position deny reality and legitimacy of an existential threat or suffering of a group makes them intellectually dishonest and morally bankrupt.

There are more amazing, innovative and interesting indie games being created now than ever before. There's just also way more indie games that aren't those things.
> They didn't drink or do drugs or consider themselves victims, and it didn't help one bit.

I think this highlights the culturally ingrained measures of success that most of us default to reflexively.

In a world where most of the circumstances around us are out of our control, finding a way to live without falling into victimhood is success by some measures.

Here’s how I think about this: falling into a victim mindset is a good way to stay stuck. Finding a way to avoid this mindset doesn’t guarantee someone will get unstuck, but it increases the odds. And if they stay stuck, they’re only dealing with the circumstance they’re in instead of also dealing with the added layer of psychological distress of victimhood.

I think it’s also critical to still call out fallacious ideas, e.g. being underpaid is a real issue that needs to be solved.

The thing about victimhood is that it primarily impacts the person who engages in the thought patterns and doesn’t actually change the situation for the better. In terms of pure utility, it’s not worth the brain cycles.

This does not mean that the circumstances that lead to the mindset are not serious issues that need to be solved.
You missed the part where they are practically the only ones doing any X.org maintainence at all, and have been for years.

> I still don't understand what you want. You think the NYT just shouldn't report the announcement and its context in a timely manner at all?

If they report on it, it should be brief and include a link to the primary source. (Compare to this[1] article on an Israeli-Palestinian hostage exchange announcement, which is both shorter and higher-quality.) At most, this article should have been 3-4 paragraphs long, not 15.

I don't understand what you think the benefit is of a major newspaper being a breathless stenographer for corporate press releases. Who benefits from having a shoddy copy-and-paste article today instead of a much better article tomorrow? Why does unverified marketing copy from Amazon qualify as "important"? Why does "timely" have to mean "right now, before we even have a chance to read the announcement properly"? That's not news, it's entertainment. If you want your "news" to be entertainment, that's your choice, I guess.

I am reminded of Googling for information on monitors and finding "reviews" that just list the bullet points from the marketing pamphlets.

In Aramaic, the language Jesus spoke, the word for camel is gamlo (ܓܐܡܠܐ) while the word for rope is gamla (ܓܐܡܠܥ). Mixing these up would be an easy mistake to make.

Matthew and Luke both took some info from Mark but also took some info from the Q source and their own sources. Since all three have this same wording, it is likely the error came through Mark.
Would use XOR 0x30303030lu, then OR with a value shifted left 12 bits, take bits 24..12 and lookup in 4k pre-computed lookup array.

Seems nice if you're using c# or java. It also supports python, but for that Simon's llm library is nice because he designed it as both a library and a command line tool: https://github.com/simonw/llm
I use both Notability and Apple Notes. I tried Good Notes and Notability just worked better for me. Even though it cost more.
Presumably it refers to the removal of xorg from redhat's repositories.
Thanks for your comment and perspective. I wasn't aware JEOL and others had 100 kV competitors suitable for imaging biological samples under cryo conditions.

The situation with Thermo Scientific is certainly concerning, and one could imagine a scenario similar to where the large software companies reportedly hire workers in part just to starve the competition of talent. (In Europe, lack of engineer availability is a major complaint I've heard from CRYO ARM users, which could fit within this framework.) Thankfully the UK blocked Thermo's attempted acquisition of Gatan, and now with the Apollo there will at least still be competition in the market for detectors.

It sounds like the situation with EPU/SerialEM has some similarities to the situation in data processing for single-particle reconstructions with cryoSPARC vs the open academic software packages. Not just the use of open licenses for code, but decades of algorithm development and open discussion in the literature clash with the potential to use patents, closed formats, and general lack of interoperability to give a single provider an effective monopoly. Maybe simply having commercial funding for UI development and testing will be enough to drive most (new) users to the commercial platform. One positive development in this area was the recent release of software for motion correction and CTF estimation under permissive licenses (https://github.com/czimaginginstitute). However the trend, at least in PDB depositions, is decidedly in favour of closed-source commercial software.

"The past six weeks have made it clear that the world will respond to images of slaughtered children, and it’s worth asking why it’s taken this long for people to see what that looks like. "
Well, despite hundreds of thousands of children being killed in Syria and Yemen wars and currently in Sudan, the question never came up.
Why? Because Israelis defending themselves and in this war, Hamas uses Palestinian children as human shields.
No one likes Jews who hit back, they wish only to pity them.

Yup. I heard once a great way of putting it:

It may or may not be your fault, but it is now your problem to fix.

Whether it's a problem you made so can fix by adjusting your attitude/behavior/skills/etc., or a problem that someone else made, or the universe made, and requires some other fix, focusing not on how things got worse, and actually focusing on how to make things better, is the only way to make things better.
But the `as_str` field is never used. The type punning (and all the wonderful endian issues) is already happening in the memcpy.
It's really funny reading his "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" lecture and citing himself as an example, and offhandedly mentioning his numerous wealthy relatives.

Coming from a rich family doesn't primarily make things easy; it nearly eliminates the consequences of risk-taking and allows for failing until you stop failing.

People who aren't wealthy can't take the gambles and risks the wealthy do.
And now just about every single android phone does the same thing. Even pixels are carrier locked. I have a 6A that I can’t root for 6 months.
"Can't rely on others to fix things, because the fact is that most people simply won't even try."

That is a much more charitable interpretation of this idea, and when I look at my own life that's pretty much where I am at. The bar for everyone else is zero. There never seem to be any consequences for others' laziness or stupidity, and the expectation is always that I will fix it. It's not fair of me to expect them to know or care what they're doing, or to fix what they've done, and it's unseemly to complain about it.

Lime is called "limoo Shirazi", meaning Lemon of Shiraz (a city). But you are right that both are usually just called limoo.

Limoo Shirin is a rather common fruit here, I didn't expect that it is not easily found outside Iran. Although it doesn't taste that good and is usually mixed with orange juice or consumed for health benefits (it's considered good for preventing/treating cold).
Do you have any sources for that? Very interested to know more about this.
I don't buy the idea that changing camel to rope is about pleasing rich people, because a rope can still nowhere near get through the eye of a needle.

But a rope is qualitatively the same kind of thing as a thread; so if camel is the right word, the message is that what gets into the kingdom of God is a whole different kind of thing than money.
I'm not sure if you're in this field specifically, but since you mentioned it I'll ask. Is it your impression that fintech and HFT shops would possibly start to transition to Rust?

I've always heard that they're currently mostly using C++ (and sometimes Java). But I'm not sure how dogmatic or change-averse they are on average.
And it's not just the inconvenience of disruption. The reason oil companies are putting up resistance against clean energy isn't that they hate the environment. It's that they love money. They don't want someone to declare their goose's golden eggs obsolete.

If someone came along and said "we can teach your golden goose to lay a different type of egg which is also golden", they might get behind that. And they might tell the politicians that they pay for to get behind it too.

Transitioning the entire world's energy infrastructure is still going to be very challenging and very expensive, but it would be less difficult if we could at least get all sides to agree that it's something we want to do.
As with all the other AWS SDKs, the bulk of the code is generated. The JSON service definitions are shared, the effort (one expects) is in being adding support for all the different ways in which the JSON indicates that services behave, and making it look like it could have been hand-written.
Because is important

And also because is relevant for us in the current discussion about AI regulation. Most of this children were killed by "allegedly smart machines" sent by humans.

And "But the other did it also, so I want to kill children too" is not a valid excuse. We know where it leads.

We need to stop and think if we want or not to normalize this system. If is a yes, the same treatment will be applied tor our own children in a near future. 100% of probability. We as species may want to discuss how to develop a way out to stop this machines if "insane people" hypothetically grab the power and starts commiting war crimes.

If our "smart" machines are not smart enough to refuse to fall over an hospital or a refugee camp, or to obey the international war laws, then is imperative that we learn how to design better machines... ASAP.

Laws of robotics were laminated in the last decades and are totally useless now.

I am eager to hear how it will affect their latency numbers:

> Engineering is about trade-offs, and we’ve made a significant one with WarpStream: latency. The current implementation has a P99 of ~400ms for Produce requests because we never acknowledge data until it has been durably persisted in S3 and committed to our cloud control plane. In addition, our current P99 latency of data end-to-end from producer-to-consumer is around 1s

Yep. I'm not saying that isn't the case. It's a zombie product. And it needs to go!
I’m aware; I deal with depression constantly. I’m not interested in getting into a “my depression is worse than yours” discussion here because it sucks no matter how bad it is. Suffice to say that a TBI resulting in lifelong crippling depression and anxiety, which caused suicide attempts, is sufficient for me to understand what it’s like.

I’m the last person to tell someone to simply “cheer up”; I noted that almost every post the OP made was framed negatively and thought that may be a single factor that might help a little. It’s not a solution, but depression can be a fight of a thousand small things. Maybe that one thing helps them or someone else that reads it. Maybe not.
The Drake equation specifically only deals with the Milky Way Galaxy and has no comment about any other galaxies.
I don't think that's entirely fair, the "barefoot doctors" of rural China use both Western medicine and TCM[1]. And while acupuncture has somewhat ambiguous research around it, it's clear that plenty of herbs contain compounds which are medically useful (and that's true for Western/modern pharmaceuticals from aspirin to Tamoxifen). And of course Berberine[2] has generated lots of other interest recently.

I do worry that this sort of attitude can be the sort of attitude that contributes to such a high rate of young male suicide. Extremely high expectations, no sympathy and no support system means exactly this - when you are a victim it's all your own fault and there's one way out. No one wants to hear you whine. Telling someone they should be resilient doesn't necessarily actually make them resilient.
So, tell me about Cap.
Note that not being able to acknowledge that you've been harmed while you're vulnerable is actually not recommended for certain situations. For example, it's usually very important that people who experience sexual abuse as a child acknowledge that they were innocent people who did not do anything to deserve harm and that they were harmed. Otherwise we get stuff like people who experience sexual abuse as children either believing its normal to abuse children sexually or that they were uniquely responsible as a child for their own abuse.
