I kinda think having a tool to invoke `bwrap` is overkill for most cases. Applications I want to launch more than once just get a launcher script with `--bind "$(dirname "$(realpath "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}")")/FakeHome" ~` or other flags as appropriate. Same for tools that I don't want to install account-wide. Opening a terminal emulator in a `bwrap` sandbox and then using it to launch other applications and create new windows feels like using a VM, except it's all running natively.

It's also quite useful to have aliases/functions in `.bashrc` for `--tmpfs ~` or `--bind "$(mktemp -d)" ~`, `--bind "$PWD" "$PWD"`, `--ro-bind "$PWD" "$PWD"`, etc., with varying levels of access to X11/DBus etc. You can quickly test how a code change behaves on a clean install, instantly see what configuration files something uses by running it in a clean sandbox and then running `tree`, and check on your first time using a new program that it isn't going to do anything crazy.

I usually use some variant of `sandboxed-dir bash` or `sandboxed-rodir bash`, which I've `alias`ed to `bwrap` with flags as the names describe, whenever I'm about to either run `rm -rf` [1] or otherwise touch files which I'd rather not accidentally destroy. The BubbleWrap sandbox isn't useful just for security, but also for keeping configurations isolated/clean, and protecting against all manner of errors both in software and between the keyboard and chair.

---

[1]: `echo rm -rvfi`, actually. See what you're doing before you run it for real, especially if there's a glob in there. And then the `bwrap --dev-bind / / --tmpfs ~ --bind "$PWD" "$PWD" bash` makes absolutely sure you're not going to do anything other than what you said you'd do.
Very cool. We posted about a similar tool we built yesterday

It also crawls (although you can scrape single pages as well)
In this case the property was closed sometime in mid-March [0] and the police were made aware of the squatters on 4/10. That's less than one month empty before the squatters took possession.

Now that the squatters are there and apparently can only be dealt with through a civil lawsuit, the odds of someone wanting to buy the property are presumably much lower, so it's going to remain abandoned and unused for much longer than it otherwise would. How is that a favorable outcome for the community?

Emacs has really funky (and useful) keyboard shortcuts and behaviors that make it awkward to switch to anything else.
I’ve been follow the Mill project for many years now and it’s a bit disappointing that they’ve made more YouTube videos than chips.
For what it's worth, depending on how many people and/or budget you have available to man on call rotations, running your own postgresql server with replication is not that hard. The RDS premium is like a whole engineer's salary by the time you get to Large Databases (tm), and if you're running production, staging, and maybe a data warehouse, it starts to rapidly be able to pay for a whole team.

Redhat 9 went v2 and they are pushing for v3 now...

I think the drums are beating for this to change in a lot of places. Debian will end up being the hold out and (as a Debian consumer) I dont know how I feel about this...
There is subtlety here. Leaving it empty because you are away doesn't mean it's not your residence anymore. Abandoning it changes the legal status of its occupation. Only abandoning the place makes squatting not a criminal offense in most countries.

Such difference exists for a reason, as a balance against an absolute power of owners which drives the number of homeless people up as we can see in certain areas. Take for example the netherlands. It was very common and well regarded to squat for a while, and the homeless population was very low. Now that squatting has been outlawed, both homeless and empty dwellings have gone up. There was some public study on the topic a while back: https://en.squat.net/2016/05/27/netherlands-housing-crisis/
...it's an example of a common human driving behavior whose setup conditions lead to a high probability of collision if a peek-a-boo scenario were to manifest, namely by:

- obstructing the rear driver's ability to assess forward traffic conditions, especially if the leading vehicle is larger and/or has dark tinted glass; and

- posturing for insufficient clearance/time to safely react to an abrupt change in forward obstacle speed upon surprise discovery.

The tailgater pejorative is what drivers are most likely familiar with; implied risks are much easier to internalize when framing the scenario from this oft encountered context. It's just one possible path towards the conditions and outcomes being discussed, which is what really matters.

Sure, this might naively beg the question: Was the BlueCruise vehicle tailgating as a typical driver might characterize?

If yes, then the outcome should be unsurprising, and it makes me wonder how such an operating mode is even permitted.

If no, then it begs the even harder question of whether the automation tech is operationally mature enough to safely handle such a common known unknown.
UK squatters generally move into buildings the local community consider to be blighted, so there’s never much of an outrage. As an owner it’d be hard to claim damages against a building that was a tear-down thirty years ago.
Looks great! I’ve always felt the existing open source solutions are clunky and confusing.

The property was functioning as a pub until March of this year:

The squatters seem to have taken possession less than a month after it was closed.

I think the implication is that they should be compensated. I could be misinterpreting.
No, there is more to the story:

> On Sunday, Cantwell heralded a breakthrough privacy measure with House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairwoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-Wash.), marking the first time the leaders of the two critical committees had agreed on a plan to establish a federal baseline for what data companies can collect online and to give consumers new privacy rights

> In recent years, Senate Commerce has twice advanced a bill to expand federal privacy laws for children and another sweeping measure led by Blumenthal and Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) to force tech companies to take greater steps to protect children from harm. Both lawmakers expressed gratitude for Cantwell’s support in written statements.

Beyond this, overall I believe the article is actually implying that Cantwell is working against Democratic party interests. Kinda seems like the WaPo wants to say something, but is not really willing to just say it.
WebMD exists since 1996, it's easy to predict something that already exists.
> There are plenty of plants that fix nitrogen already, and nitrogen fixing plants would dominate an ecosystem if Nitrogen were a primary constraint on growth.

No plants can fix nitrogen. Hence this research?
> Information that is "missing" in one frame might be pulled in from a nearby frame

Yeah - does anyone know if anyone is actually doing this? Like some sort of DLSS for video? I'd love to read about it.
> Drinking, smoking, unhealthy lifestyle

Make those things expensive and subsidize the health system. And of course don't push people into these things in the first place. The smoking industry for instance should have never been allowed to be that powerful (and maybe smoking would not be such a good thing).

Also make the healthier alternatives cheaper (e.g. healthy food should be cheaper than junk food).

This way, you mostly solve the problem by making people with unhealthy choices fund the heath system they therefore need.

But in any case you can't really think individually: those people with unhealthy lifestyles have probably been collectively making your life better by being part of the society on which you depend for pretty much everything. Who knows, maybe someone you saved by subsidizing their cure will save you from a bus accident tomorrow. It's complex.

Well, for the most part you agreed to your employer's stock plan when you were granted options, and so you are subject to whatever is in there but there isn't a lot you can do about that since you would have already signed it a while back.

I would just refer to an attorney regarding anything would modify your shares or the agreement you already signed, because those things can't be arbitrarily modified without your consent.

Also, the most common way employees get "screwed" is when the company underperforms and has to raise money on bad terms, but there isn't much you can do about that.
> tortious interference with the content distributor’s licensing schemes

No it's not.

Tortious interference with a business relationship is no doubt what you're referring to here, but it's a long bow with multiple layers of indirection. It is "intentionally acting to prevent someone from successfully establishing or maintaining business relationships with others".

Miramax, as a content distributor, might license their content to Netflix.

You are a customer of Netflix.

Now say you are a customer of NordVPN.

For one, NordVPN isn't trying to prevent you maintaining a business relationship with Netflix. Nor is it trying to prevent Netflix having a business relationship with Miramax.

NordVPN may provide you means by which you can choose to be in violation of your TOS with Netflix. It's not acting to ensure you are.

Netflix doesn't have to -allow- this, hence VPN/proxy detection. But they have recourse, drop you as a customer, for you, the customer's, actions, not for NordVPN's actions. Miramax can't argue that NordVPN acted to interfere with their licensing scheme with Netflix.

Plex does not work for me on my AT&T fiber - some peering issue (or intentional throttling?!) that makes movies fail to playback 50% of the time as if I'm on dialup or something.

Got a cheap VPN to get around the issue and it works perfectly.
Good point. I use FreeBSD on a daily driver NUC and I have no need for neither WiFi not Bluetooth. But I know I'm an outlier.

Support on that front could definitely use some improvement. I had to turn off Bluetooth in the bios because it made my box hang on startup. Never bothered to find out why because I don't need it anyway.
Yes! Very well said. Autonomy/agency, however small in the grand scheme, is so important.

I thought this was to be expected. If you invest 1 billion USD in training a new model using existing tools and techniques it probably won't be as big of a leap in capabilities as previous generations. In particular, aren't we running out of content with which to train these models? There's obviously some key details that are still missing in the AI space precluding us from achieving things like "can learn how to drive in a couple hours".

I don't want to pile on the hate, but this creator has a fairly negative reputation on Twitter. He comes off as a bit of an asshole on social media sometimes. Making it difficult to disentangle the author from the topics he brings up when the author is so inflammatory.
One I saw has the owner rent the house to someone, who then moves in with the squatters. Since the renter has rights to be there, the squatters can’t really do anything, and then eventually get annoyed and leave. Once they are gone, cancel the lease and you have the house back.
A bit more general, I think the same about habits. "Everything will be alright, with time", or in this case "everyday it gets easier, but you gotta do it everyday" is a lie, it isn't a conveyer belt. If you get there it's under your own power.

True, but to be fair if it were mosquitos alone, they would be little more than an annoyance. They're only deadly because they've teamed up with a host of other microorganisms like the Dengue, Zika, and Chikungunya viruses.
Perspectives about Poetry
Few reasons:

* Keybindings are different, and switching back and forth adds friction.

* You get looks if you use Emacs. From those over 45 it's like "I remember that from my DEC days; why use it now in the age of Eclipse/JetBrains/Atom/VSCode?" From those under 45 it's more like "You're using that ancient thing from the 70s?!" There are probably Facebook memes out there with an Emacs screenshot and the caption "If you use this to code you're a psychopath." Social pressure these days is against Emacs, so if you're going to use something else, may as well go with the flow and use something else, not something else and Emacs and be thought a weirdo.

KDE developers have always been great with their vision. I guess they will try to create OS Shell that sync users data between different OS? Their applications cover 99% of the casual users, with KDE Connect [0].

It isn't ... look up civil forfeiture.
It is focused on Microsoft because it is about the relationship between states and the European Commission with Microsoft. They show that Microsoft does not follow the same procedures like 'normal' tenders. Also MS employees have .gov email addresses and the states are not allowed to show how much money they pay M$.

It is not biased against Microsoft. It is about Microsoft based on journalism and decent research.
That's been my ongoing frustration with climate tech.

Since Red Hat has a 10 year lifecycle, it can be a little bit more aggressive than Debian, since the last version is still going to have 7+ years of support for whatever hardware is phased out in the new version.

The target platforms are also a bit narrower.

I think you are interpreting your linked article wrong. The claimed "million times" is if you add up the effects of their investments. Individually (from flying, driving, houses, etc) it says the "average billionaire" uses about 8000 tons CO2e vs 14 for the "average American", so about 600x.

> My gut feeling is we're perfectly happy with self-driving cars that are even substantially worse than human-piloted ones, so long as they crash the way humans do. Rear ending in the dark, okay. Barreling full speed into a highway divider [1] or dragging pedestrians to get out of traffic [2], not.

No. I’m very not ok with this. Many human drivers are terrible. Most collisions are entirely avoidable, and I certainly don’t want more of the same from computers. If I keep getting my life put at risk more often by incompetent driverless cars, I’m going to be pissed! Maybe people that spend their time in cars agree with you, but as a cyclist and pedestrian the common accident modes are the ones that pose the greatest risk to me. Pinball off the jersey barricades all you want, but stop passing bikes too close, and plowing through crosswalks just because you can get away with it.

I’ve been hit twice on my bike, both times 100% the driver’s fault. The stakes are life and limb for me, so I absolutely do not accept a higher accident rate.
Friend of mine got his engineering degree when the Feds still gave out grants. So he didn't pay a thing. I went to a state school with no tuition I just had to pay student fees and for books. All told it cost me $15k out of pocket. Not per year for the whole 5 years.
Not sure about that last para in the age of explosive drones.
No flaming intended. It’s pretty much just a joke about the existential dread that I (and presumably the GP) have built up over a lifetime. I presume it’s why we craft happy stories for children who we’ve deemed too young to learn about harsh realities. Alternatively, people find a lot of comfort in religion, but it’s not something that’s ever worked for me. So I like to joke about it.
Not sure why you got downvoted. You are right on.
There are two different dimensions on which the attack can be substantive/symbolic.

In terms of directly threatening the security of the state of Israel, it is clearly symbolic, for the reasons you pointed out. When word got out about the impending attack, the consensus opinion among analysts was that it would be symbolic (not least because most of Israel's proxies have been confining themselves, uncharacteristically, to symbolic attacks since October 7).

As an expression of military force, the consensus opinion I'm reading is that it was not symbolic; they picked symbolic targets, but launched a lot of "ordnance", and had a seemingly clear strategic goal of overwhelming Israeli air defenses, as a demonstration of their own military power. That being the case, it backfired badly. It is effectively an anti-deterrant (as well as a giant advertisement for Boeing).

Frances's concerns definitely aren't wrong on the whole, but I feel like he's not seeing the forest for the trees. This ultimately isn't just a question of whether this or that DSM revision is helpful. The patterns of the mental health establishment of the 21st century are oddly reminiscent of where physics and chemistry stood ca. the mid-19th century. Legitimate advances are being made, but most of the tools are still unreliable and many of the theories still fairly reek of superstition and magical thinking. Practitioners are frequently defined more by which tradition or thought leader they adhere to than by their specialization in established subfields.

It's not a great situation, and I don't see many signs that it's improving. A great deal is said about "awareness" and "stigma". Phrases like "get help" have been around long enough to turn from hero to villain (i.e. from an earnest plea to close friends or loved ones to a passive-aggressive dismissal of strangers). Who's seriously talking about materially improving the situation instead of promoting an allegedly more "correct" theory? Hell if I know. Please tell me if you do.

I guess I broadly agree with the article author that the DSM process is "caught between paradigms" and has "no obvious way forward", but that's a profoundly unsatisfying place to find common ground.
My read is she needs to be known as the one who saved us. Compromise has too many names on it.
