I met Tom on the island when I stayed there about 12 years ago. He's a cousin of mine - my grandmother was born there and I'm a descendent of Fletcher Christian too. I was there for a month and had a great time. The island is small but very hilly so there's lots of walking around and exploring that can be done. There's definitely a feeling of remoteness when your boat leaves and the realisation that there's no way to leave until it comes back again!

> The researchers put 85 percent of California's sulfuryl fluoride emissions to structural fumigation practices to get rid of pests, such as termites. This is done by sealing structure inside an airtight tent and pumping the pesticide inside.
Personally, I do find it hard to trust an open source project maintained by an anonymous person. (I'm talking about maintainership, not regular contributions that need to be code reviewed by another maintainer) I may toy around with them but I will probably not use them in a manner where I need to trust them continuously.

It's totally cool for you to do whatever you want, since it's a free world after all, but if you want other people to use your code, then it's a two-way street no? Your code has a direct effect on their computers, and so they are placing their trust on you. You may value your privacy, but you need to balance that with other people's valuing their own security, and it's likely that whatever project you maintain may have an alternative as well.

If you just want to commit some code and not have people use them then that's another issue altogether.

I guess what I'm saying is: it's a two-way street. You can do things anonymously, but big companies / projects also don't have an obligation to use your code.
Are there are other sources for details on ownership of Delaware LLCs.

https://www.delawarebusinessincorporators.com/blogs/news/ben...

"A. 3. Under the Corporate Transparency Act, who can access beneficial ownership information?

FinCEN will permit Federal, State, local, and Tribal officials, as well as certain foreign officials who submit a request through a U.S. Federal government agency, to obtain beneficial ownership information for authorized activities related to national security, intelligence, and law enforcement. Financial institutions will have access to beneficial ownership information in certain circumstances, with the consent of the reporting company. Those financial institutions' regulators will also have access to beneficial ownership information when they supervise the financial institutions.

[Updated January 4, 2024]"

https://www.fincen.goc/boi-faqs

That includes prosecutors and courts.

After an authorised person obtains the information on beneficial ownership from the FinCen database, can they transfer it to their agents. If they share the information with others then will they, in every instance, bind those agents to appropriate obligations of confidentiality. What is the penalty if the information gets leaked, accidentally. If it is leaked, then what incentives are there to pursue enforcement. Arguably, for those affected, it's too late. The information has become public. There is no way to put the genie back in the bottle.

https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-31/subtitle-B/chapter-X/p...

This reporting requirement is relatively new. Maybe it really changes nothing. We shall see. But the number of parties who potentially have access to information about Delaware LLCs has increased, IMHO. At this point, is it even possible to know who might have it.
If you find the need to use Svelte with LiveView, I assure you, you’re doing it wrong.
But how are you backing up your external drives?

I think Time Machine supports it, but you'd need one single drive large enough to store the content of all external drives you use.

Even granting that number (and the 2% loss above), Terraform still wins. It's just math, sorry.

I mean, sure: this might be bad on balance. But it's starting from a position of overwhelming assumed advantage. You need to come to the table with analysis actually showing it's bad, and all you have is "it's only about twice as good and not 50x better".
Ahh the eternal cycle of static vs dynamic linking swings around again.

"I need common.lib, it gets linked into my application at compile-time"

"why does every binary include this common.lib code? Let's pull that out to a shared module so we only have one version of it! See? that saved 35739475749Kb of storage! Everything is smaller and sleeker now!"

"which version of common.lib does this application need? Hmm, but that other application needs an older version. I'll have to hack some way of having multiple versions of the common.lib available"

"ahh, this application needs version 5.2.1 but that dependency needs version 4.11.6! Two incompatible versions in the same application! Who designed this thing?"

"right, let's compile whatever versions of common.lib we need into our binary. It'll make life easier and to be honest there are so many versions of common.lib around that we might as well have a separate version for every application"

"Ah, small problem, I have to compile a binary for my application for each variant of each platform because common.lib actually varies per platform... hmm, wonder if I can link to the system version of that lib at run-time..."

I, at least, had sources. I tried looking evidence of this new fact about Yugoslavia you presented but could not find any.

It was called the Kosovo war. Why can we not compare the two? They seem VERY comparable to me.

Does child soldier only mean toddlers though? I thought it was more commonly 16, 17 year olds.

Presumably recruiting 17 year olds is against international law.

But for a guerrilla fighting group that doesn't care about international law, a 17 year old is almost the ideal recruit. They can fight almost as effectively as an 18 year old can, and if they die in combat you can also claim, technically truthfully, that the enemy is deliberately targeting children.

I find it hard to believe the Scandinavian world only suffered mildly concerning the housing market and costs of living during this economy. Especially when closer regions like Switzerland (Zurich) are considered one of the most expensive places to live in. Then again, nordic countries are quite secluded, geographically speaking, and they still protect their own very well...

> scripts and autoconf and all that stringly-typed pipe stuff, ended up becoming (IMHO) the most reusable, pluggable programming environment yet devised...

I mean yes, but also only because the rest of computing is stuck in the same era. Meanwhile I'm over here popping nix-shells having my nice exact same nushell on every machine I could possibly want it on.

IMO it's all symptoms of the same problems. Related, I don't know how people start new projects and use autotools. But then again I'd say the same about cmake. But then again I just yesterday read a nightmare Lobsters comment about the realities of meson at the edges. And then I just sigh, thankful that I'm a Rust hipster (and then deal with cmake at the edges all the same). Computers are fun!
Wow that table is over my head, I spent a fair bit of time trying to unwind the acronyms but I gave up.

Can you help me understand how a gas with a lifetime of 11.8 years is having a different impact on the climate at 500 years than it did at say... 11.8 years? That's 488.2 years of being in the same state as where it started prior to the carbon capture that made the CH4.

Yeah, this autotools thing is just a chance for people to whine about a favorite hated technology[1]. Clever attackers (and this was a very clever attacker) can hide stuff in anything. Anyone who thinks that CMake or Bazel or Python or whatever can't hide misbehavior is just fooling themselves.

[1] And even then it's more hatred of M4 than it is anything in autoconf per se.

I was quite surprised by OP's comment too. Seems like media does work..
Congrats on the clean living, but it remains the norm regardless. Both CMake and Autotools use this approach.

C and C++ aren't the only languages for which this is true, by the way. It is de rigueur these days to have versioned releases for the purposes of feature gating, but there's half a century of code out there written in languages without that, and explicit feature testing will be with us as long as that code is.

Anyway, native cross-compilation is also not a language feature. Plan 9's C compilers can target any supported architecture from any other supported architecture with no special configuration.

Autotools, CMake, and "compile and see" are all artifacts of a highly diverse unix ecosystem. Tools like it are the price we pay for heterogeneity. Flexing to accomodate so many subtly different platforms is a big part of what brought things like GNU and llvm to promenence, so it's not a good idea to dismiss it as a bad thing.
It would be nice to see how California compares in terms of emissions per resident. It's unclear why it would be much different from some neighboring states with smaller populations.

If I can't run a model, that's a critical failure.

There's a huge step up CPU->GPU which I need, but 3060 versus 4090 isn't a big deal at all. Indeed, the 24GB versus 16GB is a bigger difference than the number of CUDA cores.
But what is the purpose of "scaling?" Broadly speaking, it means that there is a marked and obtainable improvement on an objective function in response to additional data. But for certain criteria, like the possession of knowledge, it appears attention-based LLMs aren't capable of that, regardless the amount of data. So they don't "scale" if you use that as an objective function.
At the same time no one is obligated to use your source code. I think the point here is from now on people (companies and large projects) may be more paranoid about anonymous contributors and refuse to sign off on using code maintained exclusively by them. It's fine for people to stay anonymous, but they just run the risk of not having the credibility for adoption and need to accept that.

But yes, I do trust certain figures like that, e.g. Asahi Lina. It's a fine ambiguous line. But at least in Asahi Linux there are real known human figures and they know who Asahi Lina is.
Has this been updated? I thought it stopped functioning several years ago
There's a marked difference between an individual's right to privacy and that of a business. Shell companies are financial instruments designed to obfuscate ownership, usually for tax evasion purposes. Therefore increased transparency is, for the most part, in the public's interest.
apple is weird, because on one hand they maintain vestiges in macos from back in the 80s and 90s when it comes to weird ux and file/window management things even though they are severely dated by todays standards. this is possibly suggesting that they don't want to rug pull people who have have grown accustomed to a certain workflow, but then at the same time they will make drastic changes like completely abandoning x11, for all intents and purposes opengl, completely change cpu architectures multiple times and remove hardware peripheral ports that people depend on without batting an eye.

Saying "they hated it" when referring to their return from the migration to Tahiti is underselling things a bit. Over a third of them died from sickness having no immunity to things having been isolated so long. The island lifestyle there was completely unlike Tahiti of the past due to the influx of non-Tahitian people, and they basically lived in slums. Luckily they were able to sell copper sheathing from the Bounty to pay for the return journey back to Pitcairn.
What’s the solution here?

We need to stop building houses out of wood. Every wood structure in Southern California has known termites or has them and it just isn’t known. It’s not just the foundations of structures either, drywood termites swarm yearly and cause just as much damage as any subterranean termites.

Personally, I’d rather not be treating my home with the termite fumigation chems unless I have to and have been diligent at creating a defensive barrier (6 inches) around my home and keep a tight watch over the entire structure all year. During the summer, when the drywood termites swarm, I pickup thousands in my pool and remain extra diligent.

I’d much rather just have most of the structure be adobe some other cementitious material than play a losing game of three little piggies every so many years.

All the good programmers use plain shell -- DJB, Fabrice Bellard, Xavier Leroy for OCaml, etc. :)

They don't copy and paste stuff they don't understand

(The DJB scripts were almost certainly plain sh and not bash, since I think this machines were BSD. At that time bash wasn't so ubiquitous -- there was more diversity in shells. I did read a bunch of his scripts many years ago.)

It’s not limited to the USA though. We have the same issue in France, and I guess most European countries.
The advantage over heat pumps is simplicity lower total investment. If you need 1/10th as many PV panels that’s not just less cost but less land use and less pollution from mining the materials etc.

In terms of impact, lakes are heat sinks that average out energy gain and loss over a year, but the numbers get huge.

For scale a single hour being cloudy or sunny could be an ~10 terawatt-hours worth of energy being dumped into the lake or not and that doesn’t have a significant impact. Meanwhile Canada total electricity demand at 577 terawatt-hours in 2022. Even cooling every house in the country across a full summer just isn’t going to move the needle here.
I'd say she qualifies as self made, but her current net worth is estimated to be $680 million.
I think it's extremely significant. There was a majority of Israelis around the time of the Oslo accords that would have supported dismantling all the settlements (+/- or land exchange in some specific cases) and handing over the entirety of the west bank to Palestinians. This was a given, had major support, and the only reason that flipped was Hamas' campaign of suicide bombings, which also led to Rabin's assaination. I lived there at the time and I think I have the right perspective here.

You're also wrong about Israelis at the time not worried about the west bank. The Israeli left was extremely worried about the occupation of the west bank. I would say resolving the status of that territory was an important thing since 1967 (though I was born in 1968 so I don't have the entire experience in my head) but for some of that time the state of war with the surrounding Arab countries was a show stopper to that. The peace with Egypt was one of the factors that enabled the start of the peace process with the Palestinians.

Today you'll maybe find 5% of Israelis are agreeable to that two state solution, at best.

I'm not quite following your second question here. Settlements in the west bank have occasionally been removed but before the Oct 7th attack we're in a process of the right wing getting more embedded in the west bank and the extremists more emboldened which is sort of the process I'm alluding to here. I'm not sure if you're referring to violence forcing Israel's withdrawal from Gaza in 2005 here as some sort of benchmark for the west bank? Supposedly Arik Sharon's plan was to follow the withdrawal from Gaza with a unilateral withdrawal from most of the west bank.

Keep in mind that most of Gaza was handed to the PA before the 2005 withdrawal as part of the peace process. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaza%E2%80%93Jericho_Agreement I don't remember all the details any more, I'd have to look them up.

My point is the Palestinians could have gotten all the West Bank and Gaza through peaceful negotiations within the Oslo framework. It is true that what pushed Israel to even talk was the first intifadah though I'm convinced there was no need for violence even then.

A complete treatment of this topic would require a lot more time and effort. But anyways, the move right is again extremely significant for Palestinians, in a bad way. (EDIT: It's pretty bad for Isrealis a way in many ways)

I think “Nothing Gold Can Stay” fits the mold. It’s a heartbreaking poem of beautiful construction and depth that is dismissed because it has been heavily cited by popular culture. It doesn’t help that what it has to say, at first glance, appears to be cut short by its title:

Nature's first green is gold,

Her hardest hue to hold.

Her early leaf's a flower;

But only so an hour.

Then leaf subsides to leaf.

So Eden sank to grief,

So dawn goes down to day.

Nothing gold can stay.

Early versions of the poem show meandering sequential steps of revision that suddenly give way to a less intuitive flourish that anchors it.

This contains the best description of the revisions I have found online- https://poemshape.wordpress.com/2011/01/09/the-making-of-rob...
It seems like Time Machine has been steadily declining. I'm not sure why there is no impetus to get it reliable and functioning well.

Kylie Jenner is no different. There are plenty of celebrity kids out there, but none who founded a cosmetics company that was valued at $1.2 billion.
