so what type of missions could this reliably be used for in the future that justify the cost? it seems it flew for ~2 hours which seems expensive and risky to me? I know the craft was relatively cheap and the experiment was worth doing but going forward with mars, can we use these effectively somehow?
I agree, civil disobedience is the correct thing to do here.

For open source libraries, you are usually better off finding a large company that uses it in some exposed way, then submitting it to their bug bounty.

Sometimes you can even collect the bounty multiple times by sending it to multiple companies, so long as the first one doesn't submit the fix before the second even looks at the report...

Social sciences, multiple dating sites have confirmed a major change in the social fabric.

Lets go with south korea as they are the worst off: https://amj.kma.re.kr/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1597&conte...

The implication that you arent getting dates because of politics isn't true at all. But I'm not blaming dating sites at all, that's not the cause of the problem.

>I think it's great honestly. Women might not hold a lot of political power directly but mate selection is a powerful motivator for change.

Women hold as much political power as men, and men are becoming more conservative. The 'change' is toward more conservative. That 'powerful motivator' is the opposite of your prediction.

What is happening in reality?

Women are historical record highs level of depressed. Social science calls it the 'female happiness paradox'

But it's not a paradox at all. It's kind of outrageous they label it a paradox.

From the study:

>Across a number of studies, there is increasing evidence that men’s wellbeing has been improving relative to women’s whether that is measured using negative or positive affect variables and the gap has increased during the COVID-19 pandemic and associated lockdowns.

Men are doing BETTER.

That 'powerful motivator' is the opposite of what you think.
Russia never claimed or suggested they would capture Kyiv in 3 days. That came from US intelligence and the military, and was ultimately stated by Mark Milley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. [1] So it came from the same sources that planned the Ukraine counter attack, that repeatedly claimed Russia was imminently running out of missiles, that Russia's economy would collapse imminently, that Afghanistan would hold out against the Taliban, and so on.

It was only after these claims obviously failed to materialize that we started claiming Russia claimed it. Newsweek has an excellent article [2] covering what claims Russia did make. They are, at best, taken out of context, like when a media personality was going on a rant about an all-out conflict with the West, and how Russia must prepare.

Because the people who buy them don’t think it’s terrible, or at least not enough of a problem to get them to not buy them. And anyway it’s subjective, it’s a form with tropes and some people just love a game (or movie, or tv show) that delivers on that even if it’s “bad writing.” And there’s nothing wrong with that.
Huh, no? I think I once ran into one app that didn't want to work, then enabled magisk hide for it, and then it ran fine. Don't know which app that was anymore, apparently I didn't use it long enough for that

I remember hearing many more issues with apps trying to detect it and do fearmongering in the past. I'd say your argument is the thing that's slowly getting a part of the past

They are not playing the right games. RPG games like pillars of eternity, dragon age, baldurs gate, mass-effect, etc have excellent story-lines. Your first person shooter demographic does not care about writing and hence neither will the publisher.

So many of the reasons for WWII were seeded from WWI.

I would really like an article comparing Todays situation to Pre-WW1, when there were dozens of similarly sized/capable countries with a web of treaties.

Would that be a better model? If you remove the US, the rest of the world is on pretty even footing, with a lot of different relationships, so seems like would be more like pre-WW1.
Perhaps we should make exceptions for small scale growers? So royalties can only be extracted from those with large scale cultivation, and royalties should be taken from the profits made only.
I think that's in part because the sources that were once credible, i.e. NGOs, universities, media, and other cultural institutions, have taken a hit to their own reputation as a result of their institutional capture over the years.

For every article you can find in support of one camp, one could find a counter piece from other credible sources as well (i.e. NYT vs The Economist and The Atlantic). For every NGO one can quote, someone else can quote from someone who've resigned, or once run/founded the very NGO that they're now criticizing (i.e. Danielle Haas, Ira Glasser, Nadine Strossen, Bob Bernstein). You can even pitch the NGOs against one another, such as HRW and Amnesty against the ADL.

Ultimately, bad faith actors are indeed the root cause of the problem. However, I think the bigger problem here is the inability of these bad faith actors to recognize that belong to the very group they're criticizing. If facts were all that mattered, I would expect to see more people expressing more nuanced takes, or express more uncertainty. After all, it would be rather surprising for a consumer of news to hold their view with that much confidence when even the mainstream sources they are relying on is in dispute with one another.

Like most scripting languages (e.g. Python), execution speed was not the top priority - in fact, like Python, most heavy lifting can be / is done by modules that are written in native C code, or Rust or similar via the C FFI / Inline::Perl interfaces.

To your point, I recently measured the compile time of this raku module...

# speed (2020)

# use Physics::Measure :ALL; ...13s first-, 2.8s pre- compiled

# speed (2024)

# use Physics::Measure :ALL; ...4.4s first-, 0.9s pre- compiled

... so about a 3x speed up in the last 4 years.

Also raku has no GIL and has good support for hyper / race so can get a lot out of your 32 cores (if you want speed).

Another raku module to mention (Dan::Polars) connects to the Rust Polars library via FFI (thus getting Rust level execution speed since Polars a lot faster than Python Pandas via the underling Apache Arrow data structures) ... this takes about 2s for the raku to compile and about 15s for the rust cargo stack to compile ...
I think we are talking about the same thing here.
cp is single-threaded and only blocks on one IOP at a time.

With a tarpipe, you can block on two IOPs at a time, and they're decoupled by the pipe buffer.

This primarily makes a difference because the kernel cannot issue the I/O for small files ahead of time, like it does when you sequentially read a large file, so you do actually end up blocking and waiting.
Looks like a first-person account - so knowing about the editor, publisher, and how much fact-checking work they did would be count for far more than "by Pat Smith".

I didn't bother reading very far. It seemed credible...but that is really not saying much. Neither the right nor left have ever held a monopoly on ideological fanaticism, profound incompetence, nor totalitarian behavior. And when their emotions get fired up, the ordinary sheeple are generally all-too-willing to go along with the dangerous nut-jobs.

This is the main reason for so many things about American houses. They’re designed to be sold and to match the legal requirements.

Write down all the things you’d look for in a house, and then be honest about which ones are actually non-negotiable. Bathtub size will be quite far down on the list.

Older, quieter areas where builders are building huge amounts of nearly identical houses will have more variety - simply because if you’re hiring someone to build for you you’ll make changes to fit you.

Or buy a house that has “unfinished” areas such as a basement - if it’s mostly empty but plumbed for a bath, you can later add a bathroom of any size. Just be aware that anything that deviates from “normal” around you affects resale - but in my opinion if you’re not selling in five years you should ignore resale and do what you want. It’s very hard to hurt resale, so make what you want. Adjust the countertop height to be right for your family when remodeling!

rsync is a strange beast to me

First thing that makes it so weird is how it assigns different meaning between paths including vs not including trailing slash. Completely different from how most command line tools I am used to behave in Linux and FreeBSD.

That alone is enough to remind me every time I try to use rsync why I don’t like and generally don’t use rsync.

Because of the inconsistency of the generated html among different site, I think it would be difficult to do. But I love your idea. I think something along the lines of an rss feed generated from an ics file that lists the events to come, or something like that.
Something more in the way the subscriber subscribes to the "events feed", rather than being spammed with emails about events to come, for each event.
But maybe I'm wrong and this is not sustainable or useful in any way.

Of all the interfaces I tried on the pinephone, sxmo is easily the best. I'm not a big suckless user generally, I respect that kind of software but find myself gravitating more to kitchen-sink stuff like emacs and KDE. That said, sxmo is much snappier than KDE or Phosh and once you get over the the discoverability hump (I think megi had a nice cheatsheet) it's really functional and intuitive (subjectively speaking ofc).
What does pairing mean here? Surely not Bluetooth? How'd that work? Or do you mean plugging in the USB connection and perhaps turning on USB debugging? I don't understand what that first word/step means or involves

Syncing as you go (ideally asynchronously) when you have to sync anyway (like when you're writing an image to a thumb drive, or write to NFS) has the big advantage that you don't end up saying "I'm done writing all data" and then blocking for five minutes waiting for the kernel to flush a couple gigs to disk.

Often the older head was just a small jet at the height the pipe came out of the wall.

Later it got replaced with a bigger head that comes down somewhat.

It’s relatively painless to remove the head and add a pipe that moves it back up.

I don't understand which nation is supposed to have competent intelligence? Just look at the predictions made for Ukraine, Afghanistan, etc. and how they turned out.

In general it seems to me that we've largely replaced the prior eras of on-the-ground intelligence and entrenched spies working their way up institutions, with digital and satellite surveillance. If anything modern tech and widespread surveillance in many nations may make it much more difficult to have those high level entrenched spies. The times of things like a spy dressing up in disguise to make his way to the telegram station and sending an encoded message are long since gone. Our modern means "feel" so much more private, yet in reality are paradoxically surveilled and broadcast to a million times more people.

It could go a long way towards explaining many things.

Philosophy has kind of fallen out of popular perceptions. Or worse, actively attacked as useless.

It isn't like few decades ago where Camus and Sartre were commonly known, even popular, and people would sit around having coffee and talking about interesting subjects.

Apparently faster than a D-VHS tape but slower than the standard VHS speed. They claim a 240 minute VHS tape enabled a 330 minute D-VHS recording in "SD", which was 14.1 Mbit/s. This implies an effective VHS tape capacity of (14.1 / 8 * 60 * 330)/1000 ≈ 35 GB. Far ahead of ArVid, and pretty close to the 50 GB the English Wikipedia lists for D-VHS tapes.

Unfortunately this relies on unverified Wikipedia information.

I think why Israel's current government will not compromise is very pragmatic. It failed too badly in preventing this escalation, and has little support. Look at those numbers:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opinion_polling_for_the_next_I...

Netanyahu is basically done and gone. His only hold on power is continuing the extermination campaign against Hamas and their families, until some miracle reversal in the polling numbers. His only mandate currently is for the "war".

Additionally, Israel doesn't need to compromise, due to large amount of outside support (in the form of material and political (vetoes in UN SC, etc.) support for its extermination campaign, and the sanctions against Hamas), and due to the massive power difference between it and Hamas.

Biblical stuff is largely a smokescreen/justification for pragmatic matters as far as government/politics goes. And maybe some ideological food for non-secular reserve soldiers to be more willing to go get maimed in Gaza.

How did it turn biblical, with 45% of Israeli Jews being secular, and 27% of population not being Jewish?

>There was a Canadian farmer who went exactly that route against (iirc) Monsanto, saying that their GMO Rapeseed (again, from memory) had contaminated his crop, but Monsanto sued him anyway for "illegally" growing their GMO stuff. I believe he "won" in the end. But at what cost to him?

Are you talking about this case? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monsanto_Canada_Inc_v_Schmeise...

In that case the farmer was also specifically selecting for the contaminated seeds. That makes the "his crops got accidentally contaminated and monsanto sued him for it" narrative very misleading.

>As established in the original Federal Court trial decision, Percy Schmeiser, a canola breeder and grower in Bruno, Saskatchewan, first discovered Roundup-resistant canola in his crops in 1997.[5] He had used Roundup herbicide to clear weeds around power poles and in ditches adjacent to a public road running beside one of his fields, and noticed that some of the canola which had been sprayed had survived. Schmeiser then performed a test by applying Roundup to an additional 3 acres (12,000 m2) to 4 acres (16,000 m2) of the same field. He found that 60% of the canola plants survived. At harvest time, Schmeiser instructed a farmhand to harvest the test field. That seed was stored separately from the rest of the harvest, and used the next year to seed approximately 1,000 acres (4 km²) of canola.
Yes, but each string to be rendered is one line of text at best (meaning you need to detect line wraps and heuristically distinguish them from paragraph breaks), and often just a single word or even letter at worst (due to line spacing, letter spacing, and kerning).

It’s also not ASCII or Unicode by default, but rather a list of font glyphs that might or might not have metadata associated with them that maps them back to Unicode codepoints. Accents and diacritics can be rendered as individual strokes as well.

Effectively, you’ll always need some level of OCR-like processing.
