I don't believe there can be a real expectation of secrecy nowadays, everything seems to surface at some point. Unless it doesn't and I would never know what I missed :)
"..how people close to me feel about it"

People I care are usually one of the reasons, I forget about excessively using media. So, they don't suffer from it.

"..how often it squeezes out other worthwhile and important uses of my time"

Theoretically? More often than not!

Practically, as I have ADHD it's not easy to define worthwhile consistently.

"..that I keep justifications at the ready and think about others who do the same"

Usually, I don't think explicitly about it. I don't justify it, I just do it for a while (more or less excessively) and when I deem other task more worthwhile (for whatever reason), I forget about them completely.

Or if auto traffic fails to yield/stop appropriately to you.

Of course it's almost always the case that dangerously-designed roads only cause accidents when someone does something wrong. A one-track road with blind bends and no speed limit is perfectly safe if people use it safely.
I am skeptical the US would really need it in a war, but our allies certainly will. The US has air superiority and integrated combat arms. Ukraine shows how essential artillery is without at least air superiority, and they have just a few years of integrating tanks and other vehicles into actions with their infantry.

Cities in Europe are much smaller and more compact than US cities. And while there's no stop sign, you still have to yield to traffic from your right if there's no sign whatsoever. And specifically, dutch cities tend to have winding narrow streets where you can't speed up too much.

Stop signs are put in places where I guess a yield sign proved to be dangerous to traffic?

Well I tried it out in GPT4 with made up words-

Tabitha likes bratush but not zot. She likes protel but not kig, and she likes motsic but not pez. Following the same rule, will she like tridos or kip

Given the examples, one speculative pattern could be that Tabitha likes words with at least two syllables or a certain complexity in structure. Therefore, following this speculative rule, Tabitha might like “tridos” more than “kip.”
I guess what I'm wondering about is whether that really reduces overall complexity, or just externalises it. Despite all the pitfalls, the current "Cloud" ecosystem is comprised mainly of interoperable Open Source software. If we replace that stack with a proprietary blackbox… does that actually help the ecosystem as a whole? Or will we see similar offerings in other programming languages, until we're back to square one (in that you'll have to learn the ins and outs of every language's "cloud service")?

That's probably a bit too philosophical and nothing a company should have to worry about. Again, I think you're doing great work here, I'm just unsure whether this is the best solution for the overarching problem.
No idea.

It seems to me that neurotypical people don't have that issue.

Wow.

My feeling is that metal theft is getting out of control. If the news reporting on it is to be trusted, cases are in fact rising. Thieves have probably always hit junkyards and stolen wire, but now there seems to be more and more infrastructure hit as well.

The oddest aspect of this is that scrap steel isn't even worth that much. How many tons could that be? Let's say it's 400 tons, that's maybe $100k. And it seems like extremely high risk, because they're going to be looking for this everywhere now. Why would they not just steal two or three cars, which would never make the news. They must be skilled to pull something like that off in a night.

Edit: Another user linked the street view, apparently the article image wasn't the actual tower. So based on that it's much less metal even.

This kind of shit is why I think a “defense against the dark arts” class should be standard in high school. It should cover, among other things:

2) How to lie with statistics.

Actually, there was an earlier language named S, for "statistics". R was intended as a successor to S - I suppose T would have been the natural name, then, or S++ - but also the inventors had first names starting with R.

I've heard people speculate it has something to do with correlation coefficients, which it doesn't, but that r comes from "reversion" or "regression": https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/368224/why-is-r-us...

Yeah, from my POV it just seems like the pro-deflation crowd simply proved economic experts correct. People start holding and hoarding instead of spending, while laughing at those who do (e.g. pizza guy).
That's a bit reductionist.

It is clearly a company doesn't want to be lumped together with Typeform, Surveymonkey or Google Forms, so it's positioning itself as a "employee engagement, performance and development tools". They want to sell tooling that is specific to HRs and other people that might have the desire for those specific tools.

I get the desire for boxing things in 10 or 20 neat categories, but companies (and especially those that have a sales team) are often looking to differentiate themselves.

Whether they are able to execute this well remains to be seen, naturally.
Author here. In short, no, I wasn't surprised, I just wanted to cover it. I worked in 3D printing, albeit on the polymer side. On the metal side, there's been a lot of progress and 3D printed thruster nozzle assemblies are one of the key advancements SpaceX has made. It would never be a high volume process, but I was curious if you could get the kind of steel you needed for "surge" demand when the price matters less than total throughput.
They are not the same thing. In general Databases allow for querying of the structured contents inside of a “file” but also they tend to exist (now days at least) as an abstraction on top of the file system.

well you're very correct that a filesystem is just a kind of database. So the equivalent of moving the sqlite database would be to simply move the filesystem image rather than each file individually. However I think the issue is that the OS and services all run on top of the filesystem, so doing operations at the level of block storage is not practical. But... if the system is virtulized, I guess you could make it work

A former Oakland PD officer shared with me insight into how police intelligence worked back in the day. And I'm sure this still goes on.

It was back in the time of the SLA terrorism and Patty Hearst kidnapping. One of the brothers in East Oakland casually mentioned to a cop "What are all these hippies doing in our neighborhood?" (It turns out they were having a strategy meeting.) This got reported up the chain of command and OPD intelligence set up traffic stops all around the neighborhood perimeter. That was it. They just asked for ID of everyone leaving the neighborhood and recorded them, with special interest in anyone White.

When the sh!t hit the fan and the FBI got involved (soon thereafter) the OPD chief told the FBI they knew exactly who was involved. The FBI was dismissive and wasted valuable time. When the FBI hit a blank wall in regards to identifying SLA members they finally swallowed their pride and asked the OPD for the list. That's how the SLA membership was identified.

Anti submarine warfare is already a huge discipline. Submarines are still not obsolete, nor is it trivial for them to sink an entire carrier group. IIRC in exercises a submarine usually gets one shot before it has to run from the ASW attacks.

For any technological advance, the counter technology adapts, so it's not very common for something to actually become obsolete.
It's a matter of severity. If (fans of) a sports team frequently vandalizes a town after their team plays then yes, they absolutely should be surveilled.

I virtualize most of my desktop environment. I wanted to go with KVM and virt-manager initially, since I'm mostly using a Linux host and Linux guests, but there were two important features I wanted and couldn't figure out how to get that way: encryption and portability.

Most of the VMs are encrypted, so I feel safe traveling with them. Various secrets are also encrypted, but the encryption of the VMs themselves mean that I don't have to worry about losing my device at an airport and someone else potentially getting access to things they shouldn't. There are schemes that make this work in virt-manager and KVM, but I didn't like any of them as much; I didn't want to rely on the host for filesystem-level encryption (see portability), and I have previously had a bit of trouble with full disk encryption, so I wasn't comfortable relying on that. VirtualBox essentially is also doing full disk encryption, but it's invisible to the guest and seems to be reliable.

For portability, I should be able to use https://www.vbox.me/ to install the VMs and a host onto a flash drive and be able to run any of my environments from any Windows host without additional installations. Haven't actually tried this yet (happily, I no longer have easy access to Windows machines!), but it was a big point in favor.

Most of my environments now get auto-configured through Vagrant: https://github.com/robsheldon/vagrantfiles, so I get some of the benefits of virt-manager that way.

I really don't love relying on Oracle for anything
Those are good questions. I don’t understand why you were downvoted.

To answer: We are offering service contracts and contract engineering services around virtualization, KVM and a couple of other topics.

The long term goal for this specific project is to support the security goals our customers have and to enable a couple of KVM features in Virtualbox as well. We plan to keep this updated with upstream Virtualbox and KVM.

"Vibe" isn't so easy defined as being positive; more like the way you interact feels "natural" and doesn't lead to negative emotions.

In a startup, lots of mistakes will be made. A team with the right vibe knows and acknowledges this, but focuses on fixing the problems rather than finger pointing.

In that sense, "vibe" is not inherent to the individual, but I like to think of it as "we're on the same wavelength" when it comes to key things. So it really means "does this person fit with this team and this mission?" -- "vibes" sums that up for me.
To be fair, I think making art for money is fine, but I agree with your second paragraph in which the actually scarce thing (e.g. labour) is the one that should be monetised, not artificial scarcity.

In fact, commissions artists are doing exactly that. Same with patreon which seems to be really popular, and crowdfunding for the bigger projects.
say you want to store 10 million records. if you do this as a files in a say, one big directory (or even a sharded directory hiearchy), you have to update the parent directory (inode) when you create a new file (because the directory mtime needs to change) That's extra overhead vs what you can get with appending to a journaled database. POSIX encodes these specifications of what a file system is - so there isn't much ability to innovate here.

And yes - we work really hard to address the performance issues here, but there are constraints.
If we're just code being executed on some machine, we could be executed on a different machine - one that can move around in "their" world. Basically, getting uploaded into an android frame.

(Assuming that their world would even be comprehensible to us; but again, as others have pointed out, so much of this is effectively theological...)

In fact, Austin, the state capital, is farther away from El Paso than it is to any of the states (or country) that Texas borders. Or put another way: El Paso, which is in the middle of a desert, is closer to the Pacific Ocean (via the Gulf of California) than its own state capital.

While we're on the subject of the vastness of Texas, Big Bend National Park is a true wonder and definitely worth a visit.

Back in the late 2000’s I was a windows clustering SME for a major tech company on account with a major financial company. One project I was tasked with was migrating a system which had a huge number of small files. I don’t recall the number. IIRC it took a couple weeks to do the initial file copy. Then the task was to sync the changes during the change window which was 8 hours. Every time I tried to sync the changes it took well more than 8 hours.

I did find a tool that could do the job but of course no one wanted to pay for it. Fortunately for me I left that position before the migration and someone else had to figure it out.

So yeah, I’ve encountered something similar in the real world. It was the result of poor software design choices but by the time I got there that path was chosen and I had to deal with the results.

There's also no ways to really make a file system faster when dealing with many small files and directories. If you can avoid doing it by using a database you probably should.
There really is no good term; GNU+Linux includes ChromeOS (TIL) and excludes Alpine (and derivatives like PostmarketOS), "Desktop" doesn't jive with Mobian (for Linux mobile devices), and "Linux" includes Android.

This was an idea I considered, but I'm not enough of a metallurgist to know how feasible it is. In a crisis, I imagine we would try lots of things, but it's easiest to start by just getting out of our own way with proven tools and processes. After all, they're co-designed with weapons systems that are well understood and highly effective, and we'd be replacing all that with entirely new systems in a conflict. It's messy.

> If we want to test these beasts in logic, we should probably start using actual formalized logic, rather than English.

Why?
Do you use formalized logic when discussing with other people about topics that involve logic? You know, a logic riddle or a philosophical question can be understood and processed even if the only tool you have is your native language. Formalized logic is a big prerequisite that basically cuts out the vast majority of Earth population (just like coding). Now, if you mean that in BENCHMARKS they should use formalized logic syntax, probably yes. But in addition to plain language tests.
