Indeed, by this logic no one should be able to retire, as the primary means of doing so, using accumulated investments, exists due to others' continued work. Even social security payments are simply the current tax base funding retirees' spending.

I'm curious - are there any ways of finding out the precise hardware that's used in these small-scale devices that are generally not considered to be computers (like smartphone chargers) without actually having to take them apart? Are there special datasheets, or perhaps some documents for government certification, or anything like it? I've always been fascinated with the barebones, low-spec hardware that runs mundane electronic things, so I want to know where the author got all that information from.
Right, I was gunna say this website might be a nice temporary oasis that is too small potatoes for digital marketers and we might actually get a decent signal to noise ratio if it doesn't get too big.
There's a lot of C code in avionics op systems, both new and old.

I mean you said it: Google sold Android has one thing but secretly stifled it from actually being that thing. Apple doesn't even offer iOS as a product, it's an integrated product component developed in-house just like their A-series chips. They don't offer the App Store as a product, it's an integrated product-component just like the Camera.

Apple took the console approach and Google took the Wintel-ish approach, and that led to a different series of business decisions that created a different set of market conditions involving a different set of business partners that created a different set of facts and a different set of case records when Epic sued them both. It's not like Apple didn't put anything in writing, but the stuff that made them look bad only made them look bad in the PR sense, not a legal sense. Apple's restrictions on the iPhone are technologically and contractually enforced through a standard agreement that every developer agrees to, whereas Android doesn't have any technological restrictions, just Google's lawyers going around paying off would-be competitors to not compete with Google Play which is a huge difference given that Android is supposedly open and that was one of its original selling points. Personally I still don't think Google should have lost their case with Epic at the District level, maybe hammered a bit under State antitrust law enforcement for the payoffs to not compete with them, but not lost to Epic; but they did lose their case at the District level to Epic so that's completely on them.

About

The best thing about the Subaru Liberty is its reliablity and the fact that the car seems to outlast others. I had one for 12 years and it just kept going. We did a lot of Kms in this and I think we probably got another 10 years out of it.

The entry is AU specific without being marked so, and the "review" is anecdotal at best.

Maybe I've missed the point, and if that's the case, I sincerely apologize. Best of luck.
I was asking about anyone tracking the disparity between nation-state computing power and commercially available computing power. This seems like something that's uncontroversial.

If I had a good way to distribute money to content creators, I'd probably do it quite often.

It's simple, you will move, either voluntarily or be forced to via rising costs. I know many people who lived in high cost of living areas that now live in lower cost of living areas. Yes, they had to find new jobs and new friends, but that is really no different than any other time in human history.

This is not to say that we should not build more housing so as to increase supply and thus lower prices, of course.

Can you provide some clarity on the "Advertise" link? How do you determine what gets featured? How do users know that products on this site are actually durable and not just products that paid to be placed?

A trustworthy BIFL database would be extremely valuable for consumers, but an untrustworthy one would be even more valuable for advertisers. I'd be concerned about the sourcing no matter what, but it's doubly concerning that one of three links on the front page suggests that people could pay to get featured.
the next generation will be bored out of their skulls, because everything gets averaged with ai. Looking forward to that, will be entertaining to see them try to find anything interesting.
I wonder, does this concept translate between languages? Are there folks suffering from schizophrenia who create the same kind of clanging in other languages?

"Do you want the burger or the ribs?"
I feel the exact opposite, BIFL very much feels like it’s been taken over by ads and corporate sponsors. Most of the recommendations are from ppl who either just bought the thing or for brand that are less than 20 years old.

IME, most subs are infiltrated with marketers either large brands or for the sub’s niche. I stopped using Reddit after the whole API thing, but for the last 3-4 years it’s felt like nearly every media(video/pic) post was doing some form of product placement, even the comments of various innocuous threads would have some top commenter mentioning casually a certain brand or product.
Back in the day, the KA10 under Tops10 could “go virtual” which meant that some of the processes would overflow to spinning metal, either disk or IIRC drum. Otherwise the various processes would all be in RAM.

Intel produces motherboards, especially server-side, and has significant amount of profit from it, much less margin they get from PSUs.

So it just increases profit for Intel. Consumers will likely to pay more for nothing.
> What’s the point of using another tool to manage your shell scripts though? Why not just use shell scripts.

When you create a Makefile, you're describing a dependency graph of what depends on what and the order tasks need to take to produce a particular set of digital artifacts--you're not writing shell scripts.

Turns out there are all kinds of edge cases and foot guns that make handles for you that you'd otherwise have to deal with if you wrote a bespoke shell script.

Plus make is battle tested and has been around since the dawn of Unix--there's literally no build scenario it can't handle.

I hadn't used make until a few years ago but it's been one of the best investments I've made in my workflow.

In a water cooled config the cards only take 1 slot. I’ve got 2 3090s and am buying another two shortly. Preemtively upgraded the power to 220v, found a 2kw PSU, and installed a dedicated mini split. I’m also undervolting the cards to keep power and heat down, because even 2000w is not enough to run 4 and a server grade CPU without tripping. When you start accumulating GPUs you also run into all kinds of thermal and power problems for the room, too.
Classic blocking I/O is the problem, not network transparency. If you don't want files to be transparent through latency/throughput boundaries, then you should also disable the VFS cache.

Good on the author for putting something out in the world. I'd love a site like this to exist with data I can trust. I think this is missing the mark on the execution side a bit.

To start, there are only 8 items. They all appear to be stuff the author personally likes with no research or other quantifying data to back up these recommendations. In fact, there are more categories than items?

It takes upwards of 10 seconds for data to load from the server. With only 8 records (apparently) to pull, I think something might be off there.

Good luck on this idea and I hope it evolves into something great.
Assuming one has full vouch privileges, why do some flagged comments have vouch links but others can not. Perhaps one can check the source code to answer questions like this, or perhaps the code is constantly changing.
Bearing in mind I’m not American, but isn’t the issue:

Let's assume you win Wimbledon. Together with its prize money of £2 Million Pound. Afterwards you go and kill somebody. They will not strip you of your Wimbledon title.

So this title seems more of a cultural trophy than a sporting trophy. In that setting, winners of prizes (Bafta winner Noel Clarke, for example), can be stripped of a prize a posteriori.
I use Obsidian for general knowledge tracking, google sheets for financial calculations, gcal as calendar and Microsoft ToDo for task tracking.

More important than the tools are the habits around, though. Once a year I define OKRs for my life, then have quarterly plans and weekly reviews to fill my Todo list, reflect on the progress and adjust plans. This takes no more than 15-30mins a week and could be done with pen and paper if you wanted.

You would have to load the entire file either way, even if you'd mmap() it, to be able to break the lines to find their extents and start offsets.

mmap() isn't entirely safe under Unix/Linux anyway because there is no Mandatory Locking. And it would still be useful only if you operate on the original text encoding.
I'd argue that the difference is the price. There is still quite a bit of a difference between average consumer and business hardware, but compute power is cheap enough that the average person can afford what was previously only reserved for large companies. The average "consumer computer" nowadays is an ARM smartphone, and while server equipment is purchasable, you can't exactly hit up your local electronics store to buy a server rack or a server CPU. You can still get those things quite easily, but I wouldn't say their main goal is being sold to individuals.
I think it's quantized inertia that finally gives a theory to explain how to get around the need to carry reaction mass.

Wow.
Neat date format :)

I use these for work within SharePoint lists:

"2023 Q3 August"

"2023 Q3 08/02"

"2023 Q3 Monthly"

"2023 Q2"

"2023"

"Weekly"

"Monthly"

"Annually"

I had an issue scheduling things for 1-off occurrences, and reoccurring. A lot of what we do is scheduled around quarters or months. This was my "best of both" because I can store the date as text, sort alphabetically, and the dated-1-off things sort correctly. The recurring stuff like weekly/monthly/annually naturally group at the bottom or top depending on the A-Z direction. It generally keeps the format of year-quarter-month/day.

I don't get this position, chicken and rice soup is not the most relevant result for the query rice but it is a match. It should show up in the results somewhere. If I page through all the results of rice I expect to get all the results that conceivably match the query.

No: licorice, ricetta tiramisu.
I'll be honest, I just took a bit of offence to the "sensible defaults" wording.

I think there probably are some things you can do in vim that the vast majority would agree with. But I think you've gone a wee bit too far into just making it your preferences. I totally get your logic by the way, I'm just not convinced it's strong enough to be considered a "sensible default" ;).

You're not wrong that it's 3 keys instead of 2, but I find it makes sense. Ctrl-w puts you in (w)indow management mode and then you split (v)ertically or (h)orizontally. I don't split often enough that it matters. I do remap ctrl-w+h/j/k/l to just ctrl+h/j/k/l since I do move around in my splits that saving a keypress does matter.

> My splits are mapped to MOK sequences (Ctrl-; Ctrl-' Ctrl-\ Ctrl-/ Ctrl-`)

They make no sense to me. I have no idea what any of those key combos do.

FWIW, I see you said that it was a bit of a joke in another comment. Maybe I'm just grumpy because I'm sick during the holiday season :(.

I’m not gonna argue the rate of killing compared to the holocaust, as you are obviously right. However I ask you to consider the implication. First that the holocaust took place over a longer period, and peaked at a certain time. The rate of killing Israel is doing still has the potential to go up, and even if it won’t, it is still a horror at such a large scale that it leaves the same sickening feeling among us all.

Just because something isn’t “as bad” as the holocaust (yet) it doesn’t mean it isn’t worthy of the same attention. We should hold humanity to a higher standard.

Now as for colonialism. It is pretty hard to see Israel as not a colonial state.

- East Jerusalem is fully under the control of Israel, as is most of the West Bank. Israel allows some autonomy in some areas of the West Bank, but it this autonomy is still under Israel’s ultimate control.

- Settlers are still moving into occupied territory which is internationally recognized as Palestinian (both on the West Bank and East Jerusalem). Israel does not recognize an independent Palestine, and in a recent UN vote, did not recognize Palestinian right of self determination.

- In the West Bank Israel prohibits free movement of Palestinians via several checkpoints. Israeli settlers illegally living in the West Bank have roads which Palestinians are not allowed to travel on.

- Israel controls all but one borders crossings into Palestine. Israel controls the airspace of Palestine, Israel controls the sea access of Palestine. Israel imposes a total blockade over Gaza.

- Hamas is the legitimate government of Palestine, elected in a free election in 2006. Israel is currently waging a war against this government.

- Israel illegally occupies the Golan Heights which is internationally recognized to be Syrian territory. It has been the stated goal of the last 3 governments of Israel to expand the settler population on the Golan Heights.

If all these points combined do not indict Israel as a colonial state, than one must call into question whether the Donetsk and Luhansk are really Russian colonies, or whether Ireland was ever really a British colony.
Yeah that’s usually how it goes. I also try to find dedicated forums on specific stuff and try to get a sense from there- but even that is pretty hit or miss.
An account can only have one "primary" Switch, which is the only one that will play games without an online ownership check. Secondary switches need to be online to play games.
Something that doesn’t get talked about much is that the apparently limitless capacity of cloud computing has very real impact on the world.

Go visit any location where cloud providers locate their data centers and you’ll see sprawling campuses of giant windowless concrete buildings surrounded by asphalt and tall fences. These sit on land carved out of huge destroyed forested areas. And all of them require extensive electrical networks which also clear natural areas and break up animal habitats.

The loss of these natural areas isn’t factored into cloud costs at all so companies spin up many more computing resources than they need which necessitates the building of yet more data centers.

Maybe if companies were made more cognizant of the physical impacts of their computing by moving back to self hosted environments the cancer of data centers on the countryside could be slowed and one day reversed.
There are efforts, yes, but you will be surprised just how hostile the major players are towards this (and how big brother they are). If you know any of this the illusion that Microsoft (or Nintendo/Sony) are anything other than unethical profit mongers quickly disappears.

There are many research institutes in the world with all kinds of funding arrangements. Also, Arc is apparently attempting to recreate the usual "middle manager" structure:

> Phase 1 of the institute involves hiring 10–15 Core Investigators, each of whom may employ 10–20 trainees, researchers, or engineers.

Those are large groups by academic standards.

The middle manager structure itself arises from many causes. Funders like competitive grants, because that gives them more control over the research they fund. Universities are in the business of training the next generation of researchers. And universities save money by hiring dedicated teachers instead of professors, leaving a smaller number of research-active people in charge of the trainees.
