Personally I use the HOSTS file instead of DNS.

Alternatively I use a map file loaded into the memory of a loopback-bound forward proxy. No DNS.

I also use loopback-bound authoritative DNS to a limited extent as it provides wildcards.

There are ways to avoid using DNS.

Most web developers do not understand DNS, or at least dislike it, and some get annoyed by the HOSTS file. Quite funny. But I'm not a developer. DNS is something I understand well enough, I like it, and, in addition, the HOSTS file is useful for me. But sometimes it's most useful for me to avoid DNS.
>I didn't buy mine on Amazon for that exact reason (I don't like Amazon and I like dealing with the manufacturers directly) so our reasoning is opposite

...For everything?

>Unless you know a dealer of the following products that you personally trust, buy on Amazon and sort by "Avg Customer Review"

The 'following products" were inline fans and goggles and enclosures. And I stand by that.

In terms of primary hardware I agree if you have a reliable manufacturer. I avoided saying "Buy a Falcon2 (22w minimum) from Creality because almost everything else is overpriced or shit" because I didn't want to ruffle feathers even though it's true.
>and then only publish GMail and WhatsApp/FBMessenger to their app store

This is clearly anti-competitive behavior. It is equally bad whether it's Apple, Google, Facebook, Microsoft, or anyone else doing it.
Another good use-case for eSIMs, at least in EU where carriers have to transfer your number within 24 hours, is moving number between carriers. Before, this involved waiting for new SIM arriving by snail mail, or having to drive to carrier's shop to pick it up, sometimes while your number was already deactivated at old carrier. With eSIM it recently took me less than 1 hour from requesting a number transfer to using it with new carrier, all without leaving house.

But it all depends on the carrier now - I heard stories of carriers who won't send you the QR code, instead requiring you to drive to their store so they can show it to you in person "for security", defeating the whole purpose.

I think this is the wrong conclusion. The issue is that "from no premises, come no conclusions" and philosophy has no internal mechanism to treat any premises as axiomatic. (Whereas, eg., the sciences treat empiricism, causes, experimentation, universal regularities, etc. all as axioms).

Science "has no answers" either if you deny its premises.

So all systems of "answers" are just systems where we find some set of propositions so nearly certain that we take them as axioms and hence believe what follows.

You can, and indeed should, do this with philosophy too. If you find that science has answers, then just take its premises as axiomatic -- and throw away all philosophy which denies them.

That arguments can be advanced against those premises has no epistemic status. Arguments can be advanced against any arguments. And move to "deny the premieses" is always available.

Sceptics regard this as interesting and important. It isnt. Knowledge, truth, belief, reality etc. are not set by what has arguments. The hidden premise to this scepticism is that "cognition & arugmentation are the foundation of knowledge & reality" -- deny this, and the whole manic schizophrenic enterprise disappears in a puff.

Philosophy, then, has tones and tones of answers.
Nah, it is demonstrably true that some people are motivated by (others woud say fall for) slogans.

I know people that are only motivated by salary, others are motivated by being part of a team, where they would call their teammates friends, others just want to e.g. code and do it well.

It is however correct that a boss is usually not in the position to judge what people think.
A lot of accommodations made for disabilities are great for people who don't need them as well. It'd be weird if someone was kept out of an apartment because it had some accessibility upgrades, so long as it's not impacting someone who can't live in other apartments.

Handles/railings would probably be a decent addition to showers anyway with how often people slip in there and get injured.
Seriously yes. Crontab isn't meant to keep your services up. We have a proper service manager now, out with the hacks.
How bad is the burned edge? I also imagine it would be quite different for cotton and synthetic fabrics.

Amazing project!
Not a lot. If the laser module somehow broke off and pointed somewhere it would be bad, though it is not a very coherent beam actually so it wouldn't be horrible if you were watching and shut it off quickly (I did get laser safety glasses but they are cheap ones).

I did have lunch with a laser safety engineer about 20 years ago who scared the shit out of me talking about problems with blue lasers. That deterred me from ever playing with for example those big handheld laser pointers you can buy. But this module is about 30mm square and sits 5mm from the fabric, so not much light really escapes anyway. One important consideration is that there are no metal screws underneath the lasing area, so I'm not going to get dangerous reflections.

Anyway I lived alone and had no pets and I was always present while it operated. For my use I felt the safety was adequate, but obviously for something like university use it would need a full enclosure. This version is a prototype slash proof of concept.

As already mentioned by GP, reliance on someone else to catch bugs can mean devs don't pay as much attention. The old saying is that "you can't test quality in," devs have to code it in. Someone else doing your testing also encourages a false confidence in the tests - danger zone!

QA tends to make iterations slower. At the very least, there is some added step with added handoff. That's assuming there's not a lot of back-and-forth between QA and dev. Worse, they often add special test environments (with potential problems) and test passes that take a long time, so even slower still.

There's also slowdown due to the Brooksian "Million Man Month" problem. If you have a team that's having problems hitting a schedule, adding team members isn't going to fix it.

And there's the fact that the only bugs that matter are the ones customers see. More so, the bugs that impact customer use. Customers always seem to find those bugs no matter how much QA you do. And QA gumming up triage processes and filling backlogs with real "bugs" that no one cares about doesn't help anything.

I could go on but this is long-winded enough.

IMO, the way QA has been done in the past completely justified the move to eliminate QA a decade or so ago. That doesn't mean there can't be value in it. It does mean that it can't gatekeep or even slow down progress. QA needs to be committed to shipping product and trying to prevent customer-impacting bugs.

It's hard to see a case to be made to block IPs with a "bad reputation" from accessing sites that are essentially text documents.

I can see that blocking IP ranges is part of a strategy to protect service signups, logins, or contact forms. But a gov agency publishing a piece of text? What's the risk that is mitigated by blocking IPs here?

There is no rsync protocol, only whatever protocol exist already. Most providers will have their version of S3, so if a provider wants to implement a strict copy of the AWS api they will be compatible. They can also provide an SFTP API and rclone will work.

yeah I don't get this. Isn't the practical thing that esim transfers end up just being "go to your carrier's website and do a thing again"?

I feel like people with these comments don't realise that in many mobile markets carriers that do lockin don't do it via SIM cards, they do it via IMEI number locks on the phone. So even if you have a physical SIM card, you put it in another phone and it just doesn't work.
Thanks!

The burned edge for synthetics is itchy. You can either design the garment to hide that edge from skin contact, or design your cuts to be a bit large and then snip off the edge that would be in skin contact (beats manually tracing out the entire pattern). The burned edge for cotton is nicer.
It also is perceived as being bigger when you shoot it with a sniper rifle because of the Marksman Target Salience Effect.
You can say of Musk what you want, but "Going to Mars" is a big and clear mission statement that can (and does?) inspire the whole of humanity. A former boss of mine always talked about the 'tempting perspective', I like that take.
Sadly, it’s not configurable. It’s just an inherent limitation of the API (1). Takeout is the best alternative, but for something more realtime you can use tools (2) that wrap the browser UI which also exports full quality.

If you want to run Mixtral 8x7B locally you can use llama.cpp (including with any of the supporting libraries/interfaces such as text-generation-webui) with https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/Nous-Hermes-2-Mixtral-8x7B-S....

The smallest quantized version (2bit) needs 20GB of RAM (which can be offloaded onto the VRAM of a decent 4090 GPU). The 4bit quantized versions are the largest models that can just about fit onto a 32GB system (29GB-31B). The 6bit (41GB) and 8bit (52GB) models need a 64GB system. You would need multiple GPUs with shared memory if you wanted to offload the higher precision models to VRAM.

I've experimented with the 7B and 13B models, but haven't experimented with these models yet, nor other larger models.
I also think this is weird. These sorts of compensation schemes incentivise short-term revenue at the expense of making the sales that are good for the organisation long term. They encourage an "always be closing" mindset that leads to signing customers that take the organisation on a bad trajectory.

But when I asked an actually really good[1] salesperson about this, they said that it's simply that you can't hire good salespeople on flat compensation because the good ones don't want to subsidise the pay of the less good ones.

So essentially you have to choose between variable comp, which increases the likelihood of short-term focused sales, or fixed comp, which takes to near zero the likelihood of long-term focused sales. Both are bad!

----

[1]: By "good" in this case I don't mean "closes a lot of revenue" but "picks customers that are good for the future of the organisation" (and also happens to close a lot of revenue but that's secondary.)
>But phone is not the best one.

Phones are the best one.

Why?

Because (almost) everyone has one within reach.

Security enthusiasts and believers constantly fail to understand why straight passwords and to a lesser extent phone 2FA never go away: All their proposed alternatives and solutions are inconvenient.

Most people couldn't give a rotten rat's undead arse about security, but they will kill for convenience. Passwords and phone 2FA win and keep winning because they are convenient with good enough security.
i agree … in the US this kind of fraud would land the execs in jail, but in the UK we now face the statute of limitations which protects Paula Vennals (PO CEO) and her mates from any real justice since they were able to spin things out for so long. kudos to Private Eye high was the only voice for 2 decades of corruption … this (proper criminal liability) needs to be applied to the water companies, nuclear, etc and to include ministers of state (Ed Davey) and “civil” servants

Could you still test it wit EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate) foam? I use it for prop-making. While it's easy to cut with knife, CNC laser would make that stage much faster.
I should have been more balanced or nuanced a bit: I also don't think static linking is to be forbidden or completely shunned. As Linus himself says, a combination of both may be ideal. For basic system libraries like GUI libraries the current approach works well. But you should be free to static link if you want, and if there are serious issues if you don't. Maybe dynamic linking should be focused on a smaller number of well curated libraries and the rest should be left to static. Library archeology seems like a potential serious problem years from now.

I still think better listing dependencies (perhaps with the option to pin an exact version?) would be helpful, as well as better usage of something like semver. Someone mentioned binaries include paths to dependencies, but as far as I know, there is no tool to automatically try to resolve those dependencies or standard interface, maybe some more tooling in this area would help.

Another nice point about how it current works is that I think it relieves work from programmers. The policy of "Don't worry about distribution (just tell us it exists)" from distros seems like one less headache for the creator (and you can provide static linked binaries too if you want).

As most things in life, the ideal is somewhere in the middle...

Wait, so all the '.io' domains are actually registered by people operating in the British Indian Ocean Territory?

Seriously, .lan is just a convention. For all I care they could come up with any three-letter thingy, as long as there's a mutual understanding that no global DNS will ever resolve it.

> Right, but this goes against the dogma on both sides and the fact that much of Linux userspace is the wild west. Ideally, there should be a set of core system libraries (ex glibc, openssl, xlib, etc) that have extremely stable API/ABI somatics and are rarely updated.

This is largely true and how most proprietary software is deployed on Linux.

glibc is pretty good about backwards compatibility. It gets shit for not being forwards compatible (i.e. you can't take a binary linked against glibc 2.34 and run it on a glibc 2.17 system). It's not fully bug for bug compatible. Sometimes they'll patch it, sometimes not. On Windows a lot of applications still link and ship their own libc, for example.

xlib et al don't break in practice. Programs bring their own GUI framework linking them and it'll work. Some are adventurous and link against system gtk2 or gtk3. Even that generally works.

OpenSSL does have a few popular SONAMEs around but they have had particularly nastily broken APIs in the past. Many distros offer two or more versions of OpenSSL for this reason. However, most applications ship their own.

If you only need to talk to some servers, you can link against system libcurl though (ABI compatible for like twenty years). This would IMHO be much better than what most applications do today (shipping their own crypto + protocol stack which invariably ends up with holes). While Microsoft ships curl.exe nowadays, they don't include libcurl with their OS. Otherwise that would be pretty close to a universally compatible protocol client API and ABI and you really wouldn't have any good reason any more to patch the same tired X.509 and HTTP parser vulnerabilities in each and every app.
Surnames should be pronounced the way the person who has it pronounces it.

My family do nor pronounce our Dutch surname "correctly" - but its centuries since the ancestor we got the name from left the Netherlands. We use an archaic spelling too.
Perhaps your interpretation is right, but that would mean there's some group of people who simultaneously says "I know people put toxic chemicals into this industrial compost I use but I'm totally fine with that" and also "I only eat vegetables I grow myself". I highly doubt any such person exists.
I hope you bought a generic "pencil" at least. There's knockoffs to be had for <$10 on aliexpress, I bought two.

I or someone needs to get around to reverse engineering the digitizer's stylus support, since ipad6 digitizer glass can be bought for ~$11 last I checked, and all-in that's pretty competitive with regular drawing tablets even if you include the rpi nano used to drive the thing.

> On piano, jumping between keys/modes is non-trivial, unless you have an extensive amount of practice building memory and muscle memory.

If you learn your circle of fifths it is quite trivial, because nearby scales on the circle (i.e. scales that have tonal centers a fifth apart) only add or remove a single black key. F to C (Bb becomes B) to G (F becomes F#) to D (C becomes C#) etc. is very easy and a lot of music will stick to those. Learning scales on guitar (or indeed on an isomorphic keyboard, for that matter) is only slightly harder, the trick there is knowing your solfège so that you can find your way around the semitone intervals and (for guitar) what to expect when you shift to a nearby string.

>Whole house backup batteries are, for some reason much, much more expensive than electric vehicles

It could be the invisible hand of the market. Cynically or un-cynically.

Not being cynical I mean that is the market could be smaller, so they're pricing in the additional overhead per-unit due to having to spin up additional production lines for everything but the storage medium itself.

More cynically, even if the price difference driven by differing, smaller product delivery workflows isn't enough to explain the markup, their market analysis may have shown that the list price that sector can bear is higher. And there could be rebates, tax incentives, etc that they're pricing in so they can "offer" while maintaining their desired profit margin even after these.

It also bears mention that the construction sector is less competition driven. The "payoff" price isn't necessarily the price that a consumer will balk at and find a competitor but the price that the consumer will bear before "value engineering" it out. When you're dealing with home construction prices a relatively large line item like this can slip through unnoticed.

Bruce Schneier recommends cigarette rolling papers

> Burning is probably the best method of data destruction available, but think about the paper. Ungummed, rice cigarette papers seem ideally suited to this role. A colleague did some tests with Club Cabaret Width papers, and they burn completely.

> It’s not as difficult to write on cigarette papers as you might think. Using a No. 2 pencil with a fine but blunt tip works well. A No. 3 pencil works better, but it is a bit weirder to be carrying. Pens have a number of problems. First the extremely hard tip of the pen is more likely to leave impressions in the surface below the paper. Also, anything with ink has the possibility to bleed through to the surface below.

> And good cigarette papers are made to burn cleanly and completely. The Club papers burned best when allowed to burn in the free air. That is, lit and released at about chest level. These papers also have the advantage of having very low volume and could be easily eaten if required.

Yep, I always buy a eSIM whenever I travel because that's the only way my phone can do dual-SIM, and it's also convenient in case I come to that country again. I'd never use eSIM for my real phone number though. I don't trust software nearly as much.
I first saw arvid in action while my dad and I visited his mate to copy some software and games onto floppy disks. That guy had a BBS station that time with files sharing enabled. Some of that files were available for downloading straightaway and some were required 'a pre-order' so he had to recover it from the VHS tape first and then place online as I understood later. Downloading with 2400Bps modem was a torture and my dad said 'hey, I know that guy personally, let's go and grab all the files you need..' Regarding the purchase. At the time I lived in a large industrial city 1000km south of Moscow and there we had several resellers in town (small computer hardware retail firms mostly) not sure if it was official or not. Another purchase option was the so called 'radio market' a weekend event where people met to exchange,sell or buy computer software and hardware parts. So yep, there were no official ads or whatever and mostly it was a 'word of mouth' among techies as you mentioned it.
Except where they weren't. The German borders after 1945 or after 1990 are unlike any other shape of any German nation (or collection of German states) before.
Counterpoint: .internal is much easier to understrand, .intra sounds like a reference to "intranet" as opposed to "internet". That's terminology networking people would use, but .internal is likely something both non-tech and tech people would intuitively understand.
