xterm has extremely poor throughput performance. kitty and most other well designed terminals are atleast 2x as fast as xterm.

One parallel that I noticed is how prevalent these easy installment plans are now (Zip, AfterPay, etc) and they don’t require a credit check. People are even using them to buy basic necessities like groceries at Walmart which seems a bit concerning.
Probably, but one big issue is conservatives are traditionally loath to support single unwed mothers or even single fathers. For them it was a moral issue, other times it was bigotry.

If the government underwrote single mothers and fathers as much as we now provide in housing and food for some kinds of immigrants, in the past we would have seen a healthier population. They dug that hole. That is to Say Bernie of the 90s wouldn't have been much worse than what we find ourselves with today.
It's not really weasel language, the potential taxable events are limited to the people who are selling their shares back to the company instead of every shareholder.

Yeah, it wouldn't affect most users, but some users will be in that group. Plus it may (stupidly) raise legal term alerts for a portion of users it won't affect. As I said, is an option but one with concerns/considerations as per my last comment.
> "populate me this sample data so I can experiment with the app"

Which is well within the role of the developer. "Deploy to Hetzner" is not.

> I was under the impression that the person in question was wearing several role hats at the time.

Sure, I also have to do everything on my own in my own projects. But again, the function determines the tool, not the person performing the job. When I'm wearing my application developer hat, you'll see try to do as much as possible with Python, but that doesn't mean that I will try to turn every problem into a python script.

That happens after distribution of "unlinked" code. GPL's copyleft doesn't apply to binaries that aren't distributed.
H5N1 is contagious for bird to bird transmission as they have the sialic acid receptors for infection in many places, Humans only have these receptors deep in the lungs, hence low human to human transmission. But H5N1 has like 50%+ mortality rate for humans if caught. So chicken farmers would be at super high risk. Now if it mutates to be more human to human transmissible we're in trouble.

Can anyone explain why the answer to the second question (https://fosstodon.org/@drewdevault/112156847020462949) is "no"? The MIT license grants all the rights that the GPL requires to be granted for derivative works (it is GPL-compatible). Is the problem here just that they don't distribute or offer the source code of the GPL-licensed library along with the pre-built binaries?

If the young reliably voted, for their own interests...then both parties have these things called "primaries", where their general election candidates are picked. Sometimes from a wide field of contenders, and usually with very low barriers to entry (either to vote, or to be a candidate).

My understanding is that career politicians' take on the youth vote is: "If the stars happen to align, and you play it right, the youth vote can win you an election. But usually not - so you should mostly let your opponent waste his time chasing the youth vote."

I am not so sure about that. I think I remember from a very very old memory that, actually, this specific case has been encountered or discussed and that the answer is no, you aren't allowed to do that.
Basically, if you create your own custom protocol etc. You are just reinventing an inefficient wheel, but it's still a wheel. It's still linking.

The whole process could even be automated otherwise, nullifying the gpl effectively.

EDIT 2:

"Where's the line between two separate programs, and one program with two parts? This is a legal question, which ultimately judges will decide. We believe that a proper criterion depends both on the mechanism of communication (exec, pipes, rpc, function calls within a shared address space, etc.) and the semantics of the communication (what kinds of information are interchanged).

If the modules are included in the same executable file, they are definitely combined in one program. If modules are designed to run linked together in a shared address space, that almost surely means combining them into one program.

By contrast, pipes, sockets and command-line arguments are communication mechanisms normally used between two separate programs. So when they are used for communication, the modules normally are separate programs. But if the semantics of the communication are intimate enough, exchanging complex internal data structures, that too could be a basis to consider the two parts as combined into a larger program."

But then they will sell you a license to use the whole project including their GPL bits. It's legal, but it's kind of a bait and switch and can be perceived negatively by the community. It's similar to what was done to Akka.

> Posting a politicians platform on stock isn't exactly a good argument. It doesn't explain why they should be considered market manipulation. Why is buying back a share manipulation but a dividend not be? Should issuing dividends be illegal since "worker pay hasn't kept up"?

I didn't take that as toomuchtodo trying to make an argument personally.

toomuchtodo pointed out that they were illegal in the past, and shared a statement from a politician who wants to outlaw them again. Both of these are direct responses to mjburgess. That stock buybacks were illegal in the past is a relevant factual statement, as is a politician having a platform (seemingly) aligned with the wishes of mjburgess.

The very first part of the answer to "How do you approach GDPR" is:

> "We approach data privacy and security holistically, [...]"

Which reads to me as a polite way to say: We don't want to be GDPR-compliant.
I think a lot of regulatory issues right now with AI are not that the technology can't be used, but that it takes time to get everything in place for it to be allowed to be used, or to have the compliance procedures in place so it's unlikely you'll be sued for it.

Given how fast this space is moving, it's understandable that these companies are opening it up in different countries as soon as they can.
I know that feeling. You're probably onto something. If you worry about something, I think you always make it worse.

There was a point where even other people worried about me sleeping, and that made me worry about my sleep.

Eventually I decided I would go to bed when I was tired and see how it went. Been doing that half my life now. I go to bed when I'm tired (about 12-1am) and I usually wake up at 7AM feeling fine.

Forcing a whole 8 hours often makes me feel worse. YMMV
You're implying that the reason for the increase in IQ scores is the result of society suddenly focusing more on educational outcomes, but I think you're wrong about that. Society's ideas about childhood education and educational outcomes haven't changed that much over the last 60 years.

It's far more likely that these changes result from more immediate factors like improved teaching methods, improved ideas about health and pedagogy and environmental factors (like the removal of lead from gasoline, etc)

Anecdote: the sqlite forum runs on a single sqlite db and has well over 1500 users. Similarly, the sqlite source site is heavily visited by thousands of folks and actively used in write mode by its developers. It sibling project, the Fossil SCM, also runs entirely from a single sqlite db.

It's always a mistake to give in to Titanic Life Boat logic ("The design of the Titanic was fine, anyone could have gotten into a life boat / but could everyone get into a life boat? / what are you, a COMMUNIST?"). If you try to avoid the problem by focusing on young people, they'll just focus on a young person who made it and hold them up as proof that it's possible (see: person downthread "my daughter just bought a house"). Plenty of kids got into titanic life boats so it's fine, see? The rest just didn't hustle hard enough. Do you want society to be full of cripples who can't hustle into a lifeboat? Don't play that game.

No, if the system forces a growing fraction of people to lose we have to be honest about that, pin down why, and ask if it's really truly unsolvable. Hint: food and clothing and house construction have shrunk dramatically over time as a fraction of our economic activity. The first-principles problems did not get harder and we did not get worse at solving them. This hell is of our own design. It will hurt to solve, but it can be solved.
We have much more stringent standards for cattle (and other animals), and yes, meat is more expensive here ($24/kg vs $11/kg for ground beef); on the other hand median salaries are also much higher ($90k/y vs $50k/y), so?
That all makes sense. But when those 100 binaries end up as 100 OCI images, and then to patch them you need to update those 100 OCI images to have the new version, it does seem like we've gone in a circle a bit.

I mean, there are some advantages, if they all share the same base layer, maybe they share those libs at least on disk via a shared layer. But practically, though you are maybe not back where you started, you are at a place that seems to share some similarities.
That also means you can't easily update passwords.
A lot of this comes down to personal prompting style.

My own style is such that I consistently get slightly better results (at least for coding questions) from Opus compared to GPT-4.
The prompt also matters a lot, this is just a review of GPT vs Claude models for the Aider prompts. In my experience, with some fairly extensive prompts, Opus eats GPT-4's lunch, with the quality difference being huge.

> The APFS engineers I talked to cited strong ECC protection within Apple storage devices. Both NAND flash SSDs and magnetic media HDDs use redundant data to detect and correct errors. The Apple engineers contend that Apple devices basically don't return bogus data. NAND uses extra data, e.g. 128 bytes per 4KB page, so that errors can be corrected and detected. (For reference, ZFS uses a fixed size 32 byte checksum for blocks ranging from 512 bytes to megabytes. That's small by comparison, but bear in mind that the SSD's ECC is required for the expected analog variances within the media.) The devices have a bit error rate that's low enough to expect no errors over the device's lifetime.

Dominic Giampaolo wrote BeFS, Spotlight, and now APFS.

In my 15-ish years running ZFS at home, the only time I’ve had corruption was when there was also noticeable hardware issues (cables, drives, enclosures). ZFS made them easy to deal with, but wouldn’t have helped if I wasn’t already running RAIDZ or mirrors.
I’ve not looked recently, but in the past ZFS was extremely RAM hungry and relatively CPU expensive, not necessarily something optimized for mobile devices or battery life.

Only if it mutates to be more human to human transmissible without losing virulence. Which is definitely possible but not guaranteed. And there are so many other potentially deadly viruses out there that are only a few steps away from causing a new pandemic.
Getting rid of the water is essential if nuclear is going to be competitive in the future.

People seem to forget that we stopped building steam-turbine based nuclear power plants and steam-turbine based coal burning power plants at the same time and for the same reason.

Reactor types such as the liquid metal fast reactor, high temperature gas cooled reactor and various kinds of molten salt reactor all operate at much higher temperatures than the light water reactor and can thus provide heat for entirely different applications (e.g. provide heat for a chemical factory or to make hydrogen thermochemically) and could possibly cut the cost of a electricity-generating reactor by replacing the huge heat exchangers (the "steam generators" of a PWR are much bigger than the reactor vessel but every bit as safety critical) and the huge steam turbines and the huge steam turbines with something an order of magnitude smaller like

https://newatlas.com/energy/supercritical-co2-turbines/

"No nukes" repeat endlessly that a fast reactor is necessarily more expensive than the LWR, and it will be if it has to have two heat exchangers (one huge and safety-critical) to prevent a sodium-water reaction from affecting the primary system. Couple such a reactor to a compact gas turbine using compact heat exchangers that benefit from higher temperatures and you can greatly lower the cost of the power conversion system and associated civil works and get sustainability (50x the power output from the same mined uranium), a better waste story (decays in 1000 years), and costs that can be competitive today.

"It would be cheaper to cure the disease..."

<pessimist>
Cheaper would also mean less revenue generated by ongoing symptom control medication. (Asthma inhalers for example: ~$13.4B global 2021, CAGR=20% !!)

There is less business incentive these days to prevent or cure disease from what I can see. We have prevented a lot of the really big diseases that scared the hell out of people in history. (with some notable exceptions)

Today a cured person is a lost consumer to a pharmaceutical company.

The only solution to that issue, that I know of, is some form of government incentive to artificially subvert the natural market pressure but that is distasteful in free-market countries and money "invested" in political campaigns can "motivate" politicians to steer clear of those waters.

The blog post was about the context of a team with multiple people.

OP's comment was "I do this for my Go project's" and goes on to describe how to use a (open source) library that even deploys to Hetzner.

So, either the commenter was trying to extend their practice to the point of the blog post or the comment was just expressing a preference when working by themselves, which has little to do with the content of the post.

Exactly. I had a team lead who started working for me a while back. We had scripts that could be run on the web farm to perform different tasks.

Two of them relevant to this story were:

webservers.regenerate.all.cache.files
webservers.release-prep.stop.all.services

The first one would refresh all the cached information after a marketing database update. The second would stop all the webservers.

Guy's first day; I'm showing him the ropes; we push the marketing data update and set about regenerating all the cache files by manually picking the correct file from the folder of all possible files. I'm sure we can all guess what happened to make this a story remotely worth telling...

Complete site outage. Completely unnecessary. Completely human error.

Should we blame the guy who clicked on the file that was directly adjacent to the one he intended? Should we blame me as the guy overseeing the training? Or should we change the system so that files that we use multiple times everyday and are safe/innocuous are't right next to an E-stop/EPO button? Or maybe we should change the system so that pushing marketing data refreshes the caches files automatically?

Blameless culture favors the latter actions over the former and tends to make your operation stronger and more resilient over time. The experts (and the novices) who made the mistake can speak freely about what happened and how we might prevent it, without fearing reprisal.

If someone repeatedly kills the site by mistake time after time, despite reasonable safeguards being in place, they should face disciplinary action. But when they make an honest mistake because we left an idling chainsaw laying around on the workbench, it makes no sense to blame them for grabbing it by mistake.

A large component of senior employees' salary at tech companies tends to be stock awards, which requires somebody to buy up the "free" stock to be usable as cash.

This should be obvious, but you also had a different child.

Our oldest child wouldn't sleep until we got him not only out of the bed but the bassinet all the way out of the room.

Our second child slept like a baby pretty much whenever.

Our third did fine in the bassinet, but now that she's older and transferred to the nursery she wakes up if even the slightest bit of light comes in through her door.

Kids are wildly different from one another from a very young age. I wouldn't assume that your cosleeping is the cause of your having fewer sleep troubles. If anything it might be the reverse.
