Yup, I often speculate that for me, perhaps for many others, apps (and the Android/iOS platforms) are the source.

I’ve been slowly switching to web/desktop based alternatives- those too have their issues (eg correlating all the traffic out of my single home NAT’d IP address.

I have absolutely no problem with people choosing not to go through an invasive surgery. My dad declined a surgery that might have saved his life but would have put him through agony.

If you critically read the thread, my astonishment is the stated reason: a distrust in the technology. There's nothing "informed" about that choice, especially if you're looking at the data (I'm not sure how else you can be informed about such a choice).

Getting a pacemaker is also arguably NOT an invasive surgery. Many people who get them leave the hospital the same day. As far as emergency surgeries go, it's very low on the ladder. A routine appendectomy is more invasive.

Look, stop blaming the victim for the aggressor's behavior. Women do not force men to be rapists by wearing sexy clothes.

Back to the other point: YOU said it's your BIGGEST concern. Those were YOUR words, I did not put them into your mouth. And that's an absolutely ridiculous priority. There are much bigger and more important and real concerns than your logical fallacies about blaming victims for their aggressor's behavior.

I don't think it's disproportionate. Windows is a huge platform with lots of developers. Also you don't hear anyone asking for other OS support because all other major operating systems are supported. So there's no real comparison.

But Weak can be needed in case you have self-referential structures, right?

I was wondering about this in the context of the C++ programmer in post above who likes to use both new/delete and malloc/free in his code.

Sure, Rust will give him far fewer ways to screw up. But if he can't be asked to at least not use malloc/free in C++, he probably won't be too careful about unwrap() either?

My point here is mainly that a good programming language won't make good programmers out of bad ones.
uBlock is definitely an easier implementation for most users. But running Pi-Hole [1] on a RaspberryPi3b [2] is "training wheels EZ," effectively a single SD format with minimal initial configuration (assign IP, credentials), that can then run entirely headless (until the SD card fails... use the best memory you can afford).

Perks of local DNS-resolver include it working across all devices accessing the local network, including outside of the browser. It is ASTONISHING how many connections modern OS'es attempt, by the millesecond.

That's not the same thing and you know it. If you were resentful at having been born into a sealed can the side of a large office building, with a meager lifestyle and-- by necessity-- an authoritarian government that chooses your occupation, spouse, etc., and you heard about the paradise of Earth, you know perfectly well your anger wouldn't be assuaged by "no one born there has a say in their circumstances either".
Hi! I work on this. There's no `rpm-ostree` equivalent in Debian, so you'd have to make an image natively with ostree. This is what EndlessOS does: https://www.endlessos.org/os

`rpm-ostree` grew OCI support, which lets us build the entire thing with a dockerfile and github actions, which is much easier, we can run the entire thing out of github.

It would be awesome if you could use Debian for this but alas, no one has made a `deb-ostree`. If someone did it wouldn't be too hard for Universal Blue to publish Debian-based images.
I get 2-3 notices a year that my data was compromised. So worse than anyone else.
CML is mainly used for the speed. In a dense logic circuit interference doesn't matter that much since local routing is short. For the high speed clock generation (not only routing) and logic of high frequency data converters it's used because you can get 3-4x more speed compared to CMOS logic. If the Operation frequency is so high it's worth to switching to CML. That being said, my expertise isn't in ALU design but in data converter design for chip-to-chip interconnect. So you might be right that it doesn't result in a faster ALU for whatever other reason. I'd love to know why though.

CMOS logic can also be differentially routed, and often is routed against interference. That + a full shield around sensitive routing like clock lines are standard practice. Both have the advantage of cobtaining the return current too.

I'm not suggesting we switch to 3 wires for ternary. That would be stupid. Ternary CML is 2 wires. 10, 00, 01 with 11 being the forbidden state or having the same functionality of 00. This isn't efficient from routing perspective compared to single-ended CMOS.

For large routing distances any kind of encoding can be used. I often use 2 dimensional (row-column) encoding/decoding for multi-GHz data busses travelling over long distances (like 500um to couple of mm). It's very easy to calculate the power cost and routing area cost of not using any emcoding with respect to doing an n-dimensional encoding (incl. the power and area of encoder/decoder). I even used a 3D encoding which reduced total routing channel area and power in a routing dense setup like 50%. Using a simple kind of coding like parity bit and multiplying the data with a random sequence is also used against interference but people often don't do this and regret it..

Anyhow, the point I'm trying to make is local logic and long distance routing are two problems with different optimization parameters.
You should be able to get a copy of your exam results and send them to Zinni for a new pair. Be sure to get the interpupillary distance if you don't want to futz with determining it yourself.
That tells you what works short-term, but fails at telling you happens after people acclimate. Look at web ads: at first they grabbed attention, but now everyone ignores them out of habit which imo is a net negative.
That explains why there is a perception that experts are disconnected from the reality.

But that doesn't explain how people can think they can just trash all expertise and think the good parts of the world will keep working just fine.
>I suspect wait times for cranes at each end of this rail would be about the same as canal wait times if not longer.

This is the wrong way to think about it. Wait times would naturally start at zero days, and then increase from there until there is no more demand or the comparative advantage runs out.
I still use ES file explorer pro from ages ago. I transfer the apk from device to device and backed it up on multiple locations. It really provides a unique set of features, browser-like tabs, ftp server/client, ... it makes managing files so much more doable on a phone.

Amusingly, us Americans then turn around and get our drugs from Canada because it's cheaper. Presumably because it's subsidized by your tax dollars.

Ooooh that's an aspect I hadn't considered. Post-Panamax ships tend to be 2x-3x more TEUs and they continue to grow.

Eeeenteresting.

Plus if they're already offloading to land in the Americas, don't just put 'em onto another ship and sail up to LAX, a rail route up through Mexico itself could mean the containers arrive directly into the US without going through LAX, which has interesting implications for labor.
It seems like a logical idea, but then projects that do manage go get on the media's radar start to get more funding leading teams to spend a significant portion of their budget on PR and target more popular areas.

It would be fun if you could actually train your raw sql and the llm output is the actual answer and not sql commands. In this way its just another language layer on top/in between of sql. Probably hurts efficiency and performance in the long run.

I don’t assume a link between groups and ideas. Its something many people have observed. This is typically called “culture”.

The thing about people and cultures is that they are comprised of many different, often changing, sometimes mutually conflicting ideas. This why ranking people and their cultures is an impossible, asinine idea.
I’ve used both Optery and deleteme. Each one is effective. Optery has been able to handle custom requests that DeleteMe claimed it could not do. Optery costs more though. I was able to clean up my online presence completely after two months. From now on I will try subscribing to Optery every few months instead of a continuous subscription. Anything is better than nothing though. Googling my cell used to yield my full name, pass addresses, etc.

The nitty gritty: https://vanna.ai/blog/ai-sql-accuracy.html
For containers headed to the US east coast from the Pacific, is there any advantage of using this route and incurring two extra mode switches (sea->rail->sea), over going to a US west coast port and just incurring one (and possibly zero) extra mode switches?

Given that the containers may be distributed in a variety of modes when they are unloaded at a land port (e.g. different trains, trucks, etc), it's probably reasonable to think about fractional mode switches. I.e. what's the average number of switches across all containers on the ship. Using a rail portage to get to from the Pacific to the Atlantic will add 2 to that number for every container, whereas going to a west coast port might add one or maybe zero (I.e. switch to a truck that drives cross country, vs rail->truck)

Is the increased cost of transcontinental land transport in the US so high as to make this scheme worthwhile for US East coast?

the provincial government has halted new wind and solar projects for at least a period of time, while the federal government continues to clamp down on any attempts at new fossil fuel plants, hydro takes decades and nuclear is a non-starter.

In Germany you share the Autobahn with trucks going 90km/h and some cars going 200 km/h.
It’s pretty amazing how many different ways people approach this problem. The article scared me a little when there were anecdotes about people just using an insulin pump to keep levels in check…do people understand what insulin does? Diabetes Type 2 is an awful name and needs to be rebranded. Type 1 is fixed by insulin, Type 2 is slowed down(?) by insulin, they’re not the same thing.

This is kind of like how calorie restrictions will fix your issues, how you achieve that restriction is the hard and very human problem that people endlessly debate about.

So the only lesson to take away is that this is a solvable problem, and ultimately you gotta cut calories (and exercise). But how is important; so keep trying till you find something that works for you.
Most of this stuff is replaced within a calendar year and that will probably accelerate.

The cost is a near-monopoly, as the level of strong-arming required is only possible if the loss of business—from shoddy, corner-cutting work—is otherwise catastrophic to the outsourced supplier.

Example: You mention NVidia as a success—and they are—but reliable middle-tier builders like EVGa simply could not remain in business in the graphics card business.

Eventually only NVidia will be supplying their own GPUs and cards.

This in turn significantly drives-up the cost of hiring good local talent if the need ever arises; as TSMC discovered when setting up shop in the US.

The canal forms a ladder that raises ships from one ocean, up through a series of locks, into waterways that cross over the middle of the isthmus, then back down the other side. The canal itself it not all at sea level.

Locks work by controlling the release of water from a high point to a low point. The water needs to already be at the high point, by tapping a river or something that's fed by rain; locks do not have pumps to supply their own water.

To raise a ship, you pull it into the lock, close the doors on the low side, and open a valve that lets water from the high side flow into the lock and float the ship up. Then you open the doors on the high side.

To lower a ship, you pull it into the lock from the high side, close the doors on the high side, and open a valve that lets water from the lock flow to the low side. Then open the doors on the low side and pull the ship out.

The low side of one lock is the high side of the next one, so that water basically follows the ship and gets lowered with it as it descends the ladder. But the water has to get to the high middle somehow.
I do not want desktop app nor Yubikey either. I do not want to risk loosing account when I loose the stupid key or whatever secret. My use case, which would be participating in low key low risk projects, discussions, bug reports, feature requests or searching through source code does not need any of that.

As would be most people case. So, having discussions in place that requires it is just wrong choice. I do suspect github did that intentionally so that they dont act like free storage place for unpaid projects, so going elsewhere is not even hurting them.

My usual observation:

There are a lot of air forces around the world. Individual not as big and not as much flying as the USA'S three air forces, but together with an awful lot of flight hours and for some air forces the same jets flying with the same or similar sensor packages. And then there is commercial aviation which dwarfs everything else in flight hours.

But for some reason UFO/UAP sightings seem to happen mostly in the US and the US southwest.

In Calgary, the overnight temp is -27 F for tonight.

When the weather gets that cold, insulation and heating have a hard time keeping up.

Homes that have natural gas furnaces draw so much that utility companies have a hard time keeping the lines at full pressure.

People start using space heaters more and more, which moves the pressure to the electric grid.

The problem with the cold is that it is worse at night, so there's less spare capacity overnight than normal.

At least, this is what we went through in the upper Midwest a few years back. Right now it's -8 and things are running smooth as usual.
Oh I think the major rail lines should be used for long haul cargo traffic Salt Lake -> Reno -> Sacramento -> Bay Area would be one example an keep it off mountain roads.
Thanks. I should have googled this when you mentioned it.

I see that radix economy makes some sense if you assume that the "cost" of the "element" is not fixed but linearly proportional to the number of different states it needs to hold. It was apparently linear for the computers built with triodes but log2(n) to hold n states seems more realistic in electronics. Maybe little more for error resiliency.
Or a variant of it: as a truck driver, I can « latch onto » a truck in front of me and take a 1h nap.

Would require a virtual handshake between the two drivers, but heck why not esp. if you’re guaranteed that the truck behind you won’t try to pass you for an hour :-)
From my experience, GPT-4 will do just as well with joins as without. And that needs no specific, separate SQL training (which I assume tens of thousands of examples are already in).
I was also confused by this, I had always (perhaps naively) assumed that the canal used salt water throughout. I did some searching and found this article.
