I have done it with the past self (no I don't have a tachyo-something anti-telephone, just a theoretical exercise). You can look at the obvious mistakes you have made. How much more could you accomplish or get out of life if you just applied those few paragraphs of instructions. Then look at it and wonder, in 10 years from now what kind of letter would I write to my present self, what obvious things am I missing now...
Okay, so the solution is to use a bank, not Blockchain money.
or, especially, software

It's a z-series mainframe and I don't doubt these reliability numbers.

The world's financial system runs on these mainframes. An undetected bit error at the federal reserve might cause IBM to appear in the news, in a bad way, like Boeing..

It will not have the fastest single-threaded performance, but that's not why you buy it.

The mainframe mindset: Of course each core is running at 100% all the time... I paid a lot for it, so I want my money's worth. z/OS is designed to make this feasible. Not sure how well that works in Linux.. but it's where the market is.
You lose your history, but that's the same story as every situation where someone else is hosting your content ("there is no cloud, there's just someone else's computer"). But once you set up on a new instance, you can redirect your webfinger and everyone following that will know where to find you.

It's a good point, though not one I'd really considered because I never consider microblogging to be anything but ephemeral data (note the lack of a robust search solution also; this is not a place to chisel the words for which countless generations will remember you).

I'd love to see the ability to import a timeline. Sadly, that's not a feature of Mastodon right now AFAIK (though an admin handed a SQL dump and relevant image blobs could probably merge it into their node, but it'd be a hassle).
The Python Minibook
This isn't a dichotomy.

That is the point of DDD,SoA,Clean, Hexagonal patterns.

Make a point to put structures and processes in place that encourage persistence ignorance in your business logic as the default and only violate that ideal where you have to.

That way if you outgrow SQL as a message bus you can change.

This mindset also works for adding functionality to legacy systems or breaking apart monoliths.

Choosing a default product to optimize for delivery is fine, claiming that one product fits all needs is not.

Psql does have limits when being used as a message or event bus, but it can be low risk if you prepare the system to change if/when you hit those limits.

Letting ACID concepts leak into the code is what tends to back organisations into a corner that is hard to get out of.

Obviously that isn't the Kool aid this site is selling. With this advice being particularly destructive unless you are intentionally building a monolith.

"Simplify: move code into database functions"

At least for any system that needs to grow.
Coincidentally I had to use IRC today, not much changed. Biggest hurdle continues to be messages when I'm away and it seems IRCCloud hasn't seen an update in a while.

I sent myself many emails in the last 15 years with Futureme. I am reading the sad times and remember how I felt those days. It also fascinated me how much I improved in 15 years; mentally and financially. There were some about loved ones' cancer treatments and every year the letters got more depressing. Hopes diminishing in emails feels very strange. Regardless of what it made me feel I recommend this to my friends. I write myself every few yes with it.

Also, their Cron scheduler must be working its ass off. God knows how many are waiting to be sent out.
That's really the best way to put it.
I only get the physical effects, which is why it works so well for me.
AFAICT, AP hasn't changed in the last 2 years. I'm not surprised they didn't update the old AP based on an old stack for Cybertruck since they probably think that old stack will be thrown away soon. I imagine they'll first update FSD for the cybertruck, then nerf the new FSD to create a new AP for Cybertruck, and then the new AP will trickle down to other Tesla models.
From my perspective, global warming is the overriding problem, because time is running out to stop it. Maybe time has already run out, and it's too late to prevent the terrible consequences.

In terms of other social problems, the world has gotten better in many respects, and it could continue to get better over time... given unlimited time. I'm just not sure that we have unlimited time. Wrecking our own ecosystem makes it very difficult to make progress on anything else, and the consequences of wrecking our ecosystem will only aggravate our other problems. That's why I'm overall pessimistic.

i’d have been in danger of agreeing a year ago, but thankfully we proved otherwise with Element X: https://element.io/labs/element-x. Bit embarassing that we didn’t get there sooner, but human fallibility and all that.
Average temp probably isn’t what you need here - peak temperature and length of high temperature conditions would be more important when figuring out if you need to have artificial cooling available.
I think op's saying local DNS was fine and preferred, just not usable outside the home network.
It hasn't "taken us this long to figure out..." the issues around prescribed burning are fairly modern and related to overreacting/incorrectly responding to some major wildfires that killed lots of people in the late 19th and early 20th century. (See the formation of the USFS and the policies promoted by them, Smoky the Bear, etc.)

Fire was a regular tool in everyone in North America's toolkit, indigenous or otherwise, and not something white people were too stupid to figure out.

That's comparable to Device42 and Sunbird - what you're really paying for is "one throat to choke". In an enterprise environment, that's pennies.

In prior roles I've seen NetBox explicitly vetoed in favor of technically inferior solutions because there was no available support contract at the time. Also, Sunbird has fancy 3D rack renders, and that's management catnip.
Anecdote: I provided one zip code and it found a past address in another zip code — but I've only ever had two addresses total under this legal identity, so that doesn't speak to how far back it goes.
> there are so many special pieces that it does not spark your own creative fantasy (in my opinion) but limits it.

Those pieces aren't anywhere near as limiting as you think. The Saturn V model uses the 64951 tub/barrel pieces as thruster nozzles. The LEM uses the 64644 telescope/spyglass piece for the legs. That's the immediately visible bits in the model I have handy, I remember seeing a bunch more of those on my friend's Millennium Falcon, and just in general.
OneMedical customer since well before the acquisition -- the enshittification continues.

Competitor services costing muliples of what OneMedical does keeps me in place for now; that, and getting an appointment and the experience of that appointment at a "normal" doctor's office is still the same as it's always been: scheduling is a massive PITA, and you're lucky if they aren't running at least 30 minutes behind by lunchtime.
I feel like that is extremely uncharitable but you are entitled to your opinion.
Would be curious to know how it compares in power consumption and heat output; licensing cost of z/VM; is PR/SM (allows you to create and configure LPARs) available? licensing cost?
Many data brokers will not permit third party services to remove the data without a signed limited power of attorney. Note that the power of attorney is limited to interactions for submitting removal requests and opt outs.
Do any of these offer family plans? I feel like At these price points, I would really like to sign up everyone in my household. The FAQ pages seem to all imply individual and I don't think I'm asking for a "business" or "enterprise" option.

I've been somewhat surprised to see that early adopters unironically venture outside with these things.

That alone tells me that maybe Apple is on to something. It's their biggest bet yet and they are rarely ever wrong.

Not for me though.
Child Labour in Cocoa Production
Demagogues on the right, left, and along every axis make a living by shining a light on one of these and leaving others in darkness. We buy it because it's easy to pick a side when you're only looking at one angle, and easy feels better.

The people who can see that we've got room for improvement without poo-pooing the gains that we've made are the best sort of people. Sadly that's the center and the center has a hard time keeping hold of most people's minds.
Eh, no...i mean, maybe...I honestly feel the issue is me. I always want a lot of detail, and that can become expensive. Sometimes the detail I want is more than I needed, but I don't know that until after I've asked the question.
Which Mastodon instance are you on?
hah I like that - accelerated bit rot
FSD is an option, an expensive one at that. I’m pretty sure most Tesla buyers aren’t getting it ATM.
But then they do performance reviews and ask to relate the stories to these OKRs.

Is that my bad luck with the corp then?

Because it's a combination hundreds or thousands of people incorporating this system. Are they all incompetent, or does this company in particular have incompetent people?
Our World in Data is a thinktank touting the same old progressivist agenda that's keeping us from solving climate change through degrowth.

Case in point, they've released a blog post saying that carbon dioxide pollution is beginning to decouple from GDP growth, which is only weakly happening in a handful of countries with lots of alternative energy sources, and this is only because they haven't accounted all pollution due to consumption.
> Somehow we've failed as a profession to provide people with a home network which continues to function as long as the router has power, and that sucks.

This already existed for lightbulbs in the 70's: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X10_(industry_standard)

Wikipedia says the computer interface was 80's, but if you managed to have a computer in the seventies, you probably knew enough electronics to homebrew something.
Solving the Malaria and vitamin A deficiency is noble, I suppose, but only addresses the underlying condition of death.

Same here. I got busted in Hollywood when I was 14 years old, back in 1973. I was the only juvenile in a group of about 20 people at a birthday party in an apartment building. They had a helicopter circling the building and shining a spotlight on the apartment we were in, then a group of police came through the door and arrested all of us.

They ended up dropping the charges on my case because the police didn't read me my rights before questioning me. I'd told them "I smoke weed and I'm not going to stop." The last question they asked me was "You were read your rights, right?", and I told them "No". A woman officer standing behind them looked at me and grinned and nodded her head up and down a bit. When I went to court a month or so later the prosecutor told I could go home because the case was dismissed.

But, for quite a few years after that every time I heard a helicopter hovering nearby I'd get a panic attack. It wasn't a vicious one, but I sure felt it.

I can mount my tablet and run Netflix. I don't think one needs to restrict what software I can install when it's already illegal to use it while driving.

Hell, I could pull a small grill into the 12V power supply and cook dinner while driving down the road.

The idea that software can police our lives is actually part of the issue we are talking about. Apple doesn't want us to be able to install arbitrary software on our phones "for our safety".
They can still be less complicated due to simpler transmission.
A friend of my father unfortunately had a similar issue. Complained of acidity in the morning, dead from a heart attack by afternoon. It's much better to be over-cautious in such cases.

When people say crime is getting out of hand, while it's actually decreasing in the context they mean it, they are just wrong and ignorant.

This is common bias. People consistently think that crime is getting worse.
You might not be able to turn bluetooth off, but you can choose not to pair them with anything (or remove the pairing after setting up the device).
Blame data brokers for making such asinine restrictions.

You can also just use the free version to collect a list of brokers your self and manually contact all of them to find out how much of a pain in the ass it is.
Yes, it needs to be legal to be wrong, and it needs to be legal to lie when not under oath.
Sorry, slightly tangential, but haven't we seen streaming services get progressively worse as more competition has entered the space? Netflix was great when they were pretty much the only place in town; now it's a fragmented disaster of services that have to squeeze harder and harder to keep things viable.
The LinuxONE line is, I believe, a series of Linux-only mainframes; z/OS is not an option on them. They're IBM's entry-level option for businesses who salivate at those mainframe reliability numbers but don't have any OS/360|OS/370|z/OS apps and don't want to pay for the support on those systems.
You're sure you read the instructions correctly? What's the make and

certainly be illegal over here in Europe.
oooh new idea for a slack store app. maybe instead of just deleting the message it could feed it into an LLM that would insert the information into a company wiki, so you have to go to the wiki to search instead of digging through old slack messages, which always sucks
Isn’t “hybrid cloud” mixing “on-prem” servers with remote servers at a cloud provider?
That sounds like a cherible cause?

I think TikToks initial succes was mainly due to a "fair" feed with no algorithmic nudging.

Facebook used to be like that but somewhere around 2012 to 13 posts or articles could not go viral anymore, in the organic avalanche way it would earlier. Facebook wanted you to pay up for the reach I guess.

If TikTok nudge people they will lose their edge.
Ha! I didn't catch that. Thanks
Over a hundred dollars a year? That's a lot of money to get people to pay for a product category that most people do not currently purchase.

Most people would also wonder why this is a perpetual subscription as opposed to something they can pay for one-off once every year or two.

Arguing about "facts" and statistics, when it is literally impossible to report basic crimes like robbery to police is pointless!
I'm not sure, my mind keeps wondering the answers to questions that would have been better off in interview form! "What kind of cuisine do you normally eat?" "Do you have high blood pressure and/or sodium restrictions"? "Can you describe what tastes differently between the two salts?" "How much cooking do you do?" "How would you classify your sense of smell?"

Like, maybe people who cook more have a more refined sense of taste? Maybe certain culture's cuisines lend themselves to subtle differences in salt flavor? Maybe there are physiological reasons? Psychological reasons? It seems that the focus should be on these subjective qualities.

If the hard sciences use quantitative methods that do generalize very well, shouldn't the soft sciences focus more on methods that don't generalize very well, like, case studies, etc? Then the reader can see if any of the insights apply to their own novel situations, further research, etc.

Tangential, but I sketched out a song about this a couple of years ago!

Shells allow one to pipe around the data flowing from called process to called process in a very smooth and transparent fashion.

By and large, GUIs do not. There is no such thing as a universal shell for GUIs, and attempts to layer automation atop the GUI abstraction are generally spotty and unreliable (certainly when compared to CLI and shells). This is both for technical reasons (i.e. it's much easier to clearly delineate the two ends of a pipe than to clearly delineate "I want to click on the red square inside the 'diagram' window inside the drawing app") and for ecosystem reasons (since GUIs aren't thought of as automatable, GUI designers are free to move pieces around version-to-version of software, making it extremely challenging to describe a GUI structurally).

I've seen some neat attempts at GUI automation (Sikuli is my favorite) but it's never been a core feature like it is in the CLIs-glued-together-by-shells world.
Exactly why I run my DNS on an old pi just for that and some minor watchdog stuff.
Then you don’t really want avatars. You want a 3d scan of someone which can be animated.

That’s fine, but to hit the massive appeal that meta wants for its metaverse, they cant do that and scale.

Also like who wants to go to the metaverse to get on a zoom call?

Zoom is enough for professionals and their meetings.
I previously led a significant chunk of developer evangelism at IBM. Mainframes are unbelievably powerful, feature-full, and cost-effective. You are almost certainly better off buying a low-end mainframe than hiring a team of engineers to build yet another not-great data replication/recovery/HA system. Imagine being able to hire engineers to work on your core value add instead of basic computer management problems IBM solved in the 60s.

The reason you don’t is because it is basically impossible to get access to a mainframe you can play with and learn on. And IBM’s internal incentives and financial metrics ensure that can never happen.

I think you're right it can't run the apps, but I see it's running z/VM as the hypervisor.
Things matter, and you can prove them mattering afterwards, but you can't set a metric/numeric as a goal and then expect it to be a good or productive goal.

Is Canada attractive country to live in in compare to e.g Poland?
I’m not an expert, so I could be wrong about this, but this sounds like a case of not addressing the elephant in the room. Isn’t the number one reason the changing climates as a result of increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?

Sure there are bad forest management, alien species, build up of vegetation on the forest floor etc. But are these actually the number one reason when the climate is a whole degree warmer on average, with prolonged droughts, with native species dying from said heat and droughts, etc.

This feels like another clear case of climate denialism.
> From personal experience, using cannabis when you’re not anxious is a pretty un pleasant experience. It causes a slight euphoria followed by severe tiredness, and nausea.

This does not match my experience, which of course will vary. I don’t get any nausea for a start, and am often ingesting to assist with nausea.

Most people in their 30’s I know avoid it as it triggers their already existing anxiety. I took it up in my 30s in combination with other drugs following a spinal cord injury and it’s done nothing to assist with anxiety sadly, and has triggered some bouts, though is quite good for helping me eat.

I imagine it’s tripped my anxiety as I’ve been quite anxious since the injury and surgeries to begin with. I managed to reduce those instances by mixing with a CBD heavy strain (my THC strains are all 25% plus which is recommended for my circumstances).
If only there was a better store-of-value asset in the world than real-estate. The pressure over rents and houses would be much improved.
I usually dismiss this type of stuff as being cool but ultimately a massive waste of time. In this case however how can you argue with the results? He can hand this card to any potential employer and probably get any job he wants. Having a passion for something and finding a constructive outlet for it is quite an achievement.
Virtually every country on Earth has laws that apply when you make false accusations that cause real-world harm, and there is a long history of such trials in the US, so I fail to see how this has "big stakes for free speech".
Of course psyops exist, but allowing tax-funded government agencies to decide what's a psyop and what isn't sounds even goofier. If a countries citizenry can't figure this out themselves, the solution isn't having the government decide for them, it's to fix the critical thinking problem.
People who believe that the world is doomed no matter what don't spend any effort making the world better.

People who believe the world is great as it is don't spend any effort making the world better.

Only people who believe that the world should be better, AND that it is possible to make it better expend effort to make it better.
