Tell me you live in a city without telling me you live in a city...?

The nearest city is a 25-mile drive for me (one way). I have to drive that at least once a month, sometimes several times a week.

I have to fairly regularly take 100-mile drives (again, one way) to see a veterinary specialist for some of my pets' health problems.

Most years, I take a 67-mile (one way) trip to the local Renaissance Festival—sometimes I go 2-3 times in a year.

Even if I wanted to rent, the nearest rental place (that's not just U-Haul or similar) is....in the city! And for a long drive, it's even more important to know the ins and outs of the car, know that you'll have enough space, be comfortable, etc.

If I lived in a city, and only had to drive a maximum of 25 miles to get to 99% of what I wanted all the time, I would seriously consider something much smaller with less range. As it stands...well, actually, I drive a Subaru Outback, but that's mainly because the comfort and space of the available (non-luxury-priced) electric cars couldn't match it, but I 100% support and understand people buying EVs with as much range as they can find.
I did something very similar when moving a big code base from python 2 to 3: https://kodare.net/2018/02/09/moving-a-large-and-old-codebas... Under the heading "experimental branch".
Bubble implies an overall deflation. Gold rush implies a few people will get rich--especially those selling tools--and the rest will go belly-up. The latter seems more plausible in general. And, honestly, gold rush probably applies better to a lot of things in tech than bubble. (Though dot-com was probably more of a bubble even if some companies came out the other side.)
I cut this back drastically from earlier drafts which talked more about how the verification service was deployed, but wanted to save at least one diagram with a Muppet in it, and spaced on blanking out the mTLS/TLS thing. Long story short: we originally deployed the verifier on NATS, not with direct HTTP, and so TLS wasn't an option; we wrote a Go implementation of Noise. It's just HTTP now (but still Noise for now).

The signing interface is mTLS-like (client-authenticated) because you can't just let any component sign. But really any component can verify, so all you need is server authentication.

I wouldn't necessarily call it a bubble. There has been a breakthrough in AI recently, and now we see the new companies following that. Of course, 95% or so will fail, and the invested money is gone, but that happens basically with every new technology shift. From my point of view, what is needed for a real investment bubble is that the investors are not aware that there is a high failure rate of AI startups, but I don't think that is the case here.

For comparison, in case of the crypto bubble, there's really a huge community that thinks BTC or other cryptos will go "to the moon" and they seem to be immune to common investing fundamentals.
Asking to be a regular maintainer for some Open Source project may be too much, but I expect an engineer to track down root causes of bugs. And if the root cause is in some Open Source lib, then they should do their best to fix it there. Even if they don't provide a full PR/MR, reporting the issue and engaging with maintainers is already great.

Sounds like my example scenario would not work for you. That being said, renting may not be necessary, since many people already own gas powered cars, and most electric vehicle owners already have another car. Since you already have a gas-powered car that can do the trip, it might make sense for your first electric car to have short range, and you just use the gas-powered car for the long trips. Not trying to move the goal posts, just remembering a more realistic alternative to renting as I sip my first cup of coffee.

I hope your kids are of the young variety lol
Usability deep dive between GitHub Actions and Gitlab CI
I've been quite happy with Alpine Linux. You can build it up to suit your needs for desktop, server, embedded or containers, but will run quite speedily on any supported arch from a few tens of MB of memory. The APK package manager is pleasant and quick, and the package list is quite extensive.
Hard disagree. Currently in the US the CDC puts incidence of Autism at 1/36, a number that has changed significantly every year for the last 30 years. There is no longer a scientific consensus that the rate is not changing because we have little incidence data that is judged by in a consistent manner over decades
I think most killers aren't serial killers though.
Quite an interesting read.

In Portugal we had a similar workaround in the early days of computers not supporting our alphabet properly.

Like in Polish there are plenty of words that without diacritics get another completly unrelated meaning, e.g. caça vs caca, which you didn't want the interpretation to be left to the receiver.

So tricks got invented, like adding additional letters for the missing diatrics, é becomes eh, è becomes he or eh as in the former case, the example above would be cac,a and so on.

However it was still quite flexible, not everyone uses the same extension set.
They made me watch it in Highschool. So, "they" were right, schools subversively expose pupils to porn.

According to the votes, on the one hand it's not pornography, but on the other hand it is. It just isn't when you want to point it out as being soft porn, but if you want to critique the movie vs the book, it's okay to critique it as soft porn... hrrrm

What a throwback.

This was the only distro that I could fit on a memory stick, which were novel at the time (and memory was $$$ if you can believe that).

I stuck this into a machine I made from parts I found at our recycling center, and threw them in a shoebox.

Good times.
This reminds me of the old Amiga tool where one could visualize the RAM contents. As RAM wasn't cleared after a CTRL+A+A reset, one could find the graphics of the game one played before rebooting.

Good times, but I can't seem to remember the tool's name.
Markov Chains are cool stuff. Back in 2015 in one of my senior class projects, I built a haiku bot that would take a seed word and make a haiku from a corpus of Tweets I collected from the firehose API.
Its a bad investment, they should sell at a loss and find something else to do.
A big value proposition of LLMs is their ability to synthesize and remix. Sure, you can access viral sequences today, but with an LLM you might be able to say "given these covid variants, make me a version as deadly as the first one and as virulent as the latest variant".
Diversity is mostly perceived through American lenses = skin color, gender, sex :) It's a cargo cult at this point.
Really curious why this post got flagged? Unfortunately, it's typical on here for any competitor to Musk's companies.

I dislike ORMs because they make big promises in exchange for giving up comtrol. I know this is one of those topics where someone may tell me I'm wrong and that I should be using some other ORM that truly does everything right. In my experience all ORMs have shortcomings and ultimately get in the way more than just writing SQL and constructing objects yourself, even though they can save time upfront.
As a data point, I'd like to chime in here. I have been a 15 year user of tmux (and screen before that) and never thought I'd change my development habits. Over the holidays I decided I would do one of those once-every-five-years upgrades to my vim setup as I had accrued dozens of vendored plugins in normal vim and wanted to see what the big deal with neovim was.

I bit the bullet and evaluated some of the "distributions" (AstroNvim and kickstarter) and played around with all the new lua plugins that I had never thought I needed (why use telescope when FZF-vim worked so well?).

Anyways, after a month of tweaking and absorbing, I found myself running Neovide only, and doing something I never thought I'd see, running tmux from within neovim/neovide. I think this only works (for me) because of session management (there are half a dozen plugins for handling quickly changing 'workspaces') and because the built-in terminal (with a very useful plugin called toggleterm: https://github.com/akinsho/toggleterm.nvim) works so well.

I have not stopped using tmux and layouts, and it sits in another fullscreen iterm2 workspace, but I find that I now spend 90% of my time using a fullscreen neovide and summoning/toggling tmux momentarily for running commands.

Of course, the caveat here is that my preferred mode of operation is being fullscreen as often as possible. I think if your preferred mode of operation is to always see splits then running neovim from the terminal within tmux is still the way to go.

As for why I like neovide? I find the animations, when tweaked to be less 'cool' are extremely useful to see where the cursor jumps to. I am also a huge fan of the fact that I can finally use 'linespace' to put some space between my lines of code -- it is an aesthetic I didn't realize I wanted.
Doubtful. Replacing everything part running on fossil fuels within a year, including the infrastructure, is probably just not feasible.

I run Alpine on a desktop and a couple of laptops (low-end ex-chromebooks, one of them via postmarketos), and it's not really a hassle IME. Granted, I'm not doing a lot of building things from source (or if I do it's in docker and distro is easy to change) so maybe I'm just avoiding the pain, but if your uses are covered by officially packaged software it Just Works™.

The solution is to virtue signal by restricting Western countries’ output while allowing our manufacturing partners in Asia and third world countries to run roughshod over the environment. /s

If climate was actually a priority for anyone in power in the U.S.A. or Europe they would embargo countries that don’t meet emissions standards. All this stuff about shifting blame on to individual consumers is eco theater and equivalent to the TSA taking your toothpaste.
No. But with mutation testing you can know that the test suite tests all behavior of the program.

If that behavior is wrong or not it can't say. For example it can't detect that the code needs MORE behavior! Some if-statement or loop that was never written.
It seemed like you were making a sarcastic comment about the policing of harmful communications. I mostly hear such arguments from US citizens so wanted to point out that even the US has precedent for limiting such expressions to deter violence.
I'm not quite sure how a boiler can be efficient or inefficient. It seems like for every watt of power going in, I get one watt of heat out. That's basic thermodynamics. If heat doesn't make it into the water, it still ultimately heats my house.

Perhaps language issue?

My boiler heats the water for my radiators which heat my house. That's not the same as my hot water tank, which heats running hot water. Here, where modern ones do tend to leak less heat into the air, and these do have a limited lifespan as the tank corrodes.

Can you explain? I feel like the only way I could go up in efficiency is if I sucked in heat from the outdoors with a heat pump.
The world has loads of shitty, stupid people who will embrace something without understanding nuance or "good humor". South Park deserved blame for that because they operated as if everyone was in on the joke, when there are loads of people who took it literally as a message that it was "fair game" and targeting people was socially acceptable. Another reply notes that kids are cruel, and this simply isn't generally true: Kids are cruel in an environment where cruelty is their "in", or where they think cruelty will save themselves from cruelty. Having an easy, socially prevalent way to target some subgroup is a lazy option to be cruel, and South Park helpfully served one up.

There are loads of situations like this where people have an over the top rhetoric that is based upon the notion that everyone is in on the joke, when some subsection of the population simply isn't.
Nobody in the suburbs seems to be trying to fight it, it’s people who like the high density living and want others to do so too.

People can choose now, some like suburban life, some like city life. Maybe this is influenced by media (not many shows with young 20 year olds in suburbia, or families in the city. It’s typically teens - suburbs, 20s singles city, parents suburbs, empty nesters skew more city again. But maybe that reflects what people like.
Except that this was such a small detail on Sherlock Holmes novels that few people remember it.
House drew a lot of inspiration from Sherlock Holmes - both get cases nobody else can solve, Wilson / Watson are their close companion who are essential to solving many cases, etc. It's something acknowledged in interviews by people involved in the show.

The drug use is another thing - Sherlock used cocaine and morphine. House used Vicodin. Morphine and Vicodin are both opioids.

If they had him abuse cocaine, it would be too unrealistic. If they had him abuse Adderall, it might not be obvious to audiences that he has a substance abuse problem - people could write it off as him using it to focus. A prescription opioid is something audiences understood were abused at the time, and maintains the Sherlock connections the writers were going for.

Plus it gives plenty of plot hooks to explore the effects and consequences of addiction to someone we believe to be very successful (success is happiness, right?) in season 1
I also raised an eyebrow at the three web browsers, but then I was thinking that it's quite likely that none of them are reliable for opening a modern webpage, so users might have to routinely try more than one.

I'm more amused by the inclusion of a GUI application for SCP and FTP. As someone who uses a full-featured desktop Linux distro as my daily driver, and uses SCP on a daily basis, I've never felt the need for anything but the CLI for that.

Also a number of games?

To be fair, the page states that "The new goal of DSL is to pack as much usable desktop distribution into an image small enough to fit on a single CD," so it is explicitly more about showcasing a collection of lightweight applications than it is about providing the smallest distro.
Yes. Many of those companies have made choices that trade reputation and/or relationships built up over years to increase a quarterly profit margin.

Whether that is sacrificing product quality, sunsetting well-loved products/services only to spin up similar efforts in the future, treating long-term employees poorly, burning through developer goodwill through high fees or API churn, etc.

When I think about the value of long timeframes I don't just mean having a good R&D dept or throwing money at moonshots, I mean building up and maintaining goodwill with employees, customers, users, partners, developers, and regulators.

Of course many private companies are run by profit-maximizing jerks and some public companies have patient shareholders who trust the company's management. But in general I have had better experiences working for an engaged owner who I can meet face-to-face over working for a crowd of shareholders and venture capitalists for whom the company is just another financial instrument in their portfolio.
I used this as my daily driver for several months last year - it was nice and fast, and I liked the cursor animations actually, but I ended up dropping it because of really strange window sizing problems on Windows with multiple monitors and multiple DPIs.
There are also a lot of addicts who believe they're high functioning and really aren't.

I strongly suspect mandatory opioid and cocaine testing in politics - never mind finance and law - would be a very good thing.
Then you'd never use an ORM, because you might require something an ORM can't handle at some point. I don't see why a coder couldn't handle a mix of both. The other factor is that ORMs tend to add features over time. Something that would require raw SQL today might be more elegantly handled with an ORM's language two years from now.
You might be right that there aren't many examples of projects saying "matplotlib but better", but many python plotting libraries are sold with something like "you won't need matplotlib anymore".
Web browsers usually. Chrome uses Google's, Firefox uses Cloudflare's. You can change it in the settings, but the reason it works out of the box is because it's shipped with an IP pre-set.

Tagging on to this, behavior wise.

We have been a household without TV ads for a little over a decade. My wife and I have not seen an ad really at all - certainly not within our home - during this time. Maybe one or two at a dentist visit or something when they play the TV, but nothing on a regular basis. Not even YouTube ads (yay adblockers and pihole!)

To save some money, we decided to go to an ad supported tier of Peacock, and within 2 weeks my wife noticed she was spending more money than usual on shopping (I don't watch Peacock shows, so I had little to no exposure).

Despite both of us trying to inoculate ourselves to marketing, some subliminal thing worked, at least in her case. We both decided that it was worth going to the ad free tier again. We haven't bought anything on Amazon for 3 months since.

Neither of us are 100% certain what to make of this experience.
Love this distro, its the only one that loads fast on web x86 emulation. Sad that they're upping the size but 700mb is still leagues smaller then most other distros.
My takeaway from this is:

Companies need to start conducting interviews where tools are available.

When everyone is cheating, no-one is cheating. Trying to customize your questions is just a race to the bottom, and will always be an arms race against the LLMs.

So, instead, let the candidate use whatever tools they want - in the open, and rather probe them on their thought process.
That's not new at all because EVs won't reach 100% of personal vehicles for many decades.

Interesting fact is that DSL used to be 50MB because that’s how big a business-card sized CDs were. And yes, there used to be business-card sized CDs.
IIRC 50MB was not the space needed in RAM but the size of the whole basic installation on disk
In the beginning, as you reference, Brendan Kavanaugh was talking with a friend of his who is producing video with a group of Japanese people (I think they were news people). There was some confusion about whether the red-scarf group was Japanese or Chinese initially, due to the fact Brendan had just been talking about the Japanese group. He was corrected, all was fine, he was greeted and shook hands with one of the Chinese women, and then a Chinese man played the piano (only one piece - and NOTE they never asked if they could use the piano for a longer time to film their piece for "Chinese TV".)
The Chinese (several of whom were living in the UK/or are a British citizen) did try to explain they owned the rights to their own images, and could he delete/not film them?
Brendan asked a lot of questions for clarification - and I felt he was purposely being dense - didn't give an inch. And that was his right. **By the way, Brendan did not rant. He asked.
