Lewis Carrol's Alice in Wonderland features a number of logical and mathematical puzzles [1]

He also wrote What the Tortoise Said to Achilles (1895) in which the paradoxes of Zeno are discussed.

So it's more correct to say that GEB and this article are originally inspired by Lewis Carrol's work.

It's a difficult problem.

I agree with 99% of what you said.

But "we live in a society". We can't completely segregate all the classes from one another. We can't just imprison or kill the drug addicts. (i'm sure some reading would disagree).

So what do we do? Well, we don't solve the root causes, that's for sure. We don't prioritize poverty reduction or mental health. We seem to think it's more important for a society to allow the possibility for someone to become a billionaire, than for NOONE to ever have to risk being homeless.

That seems to me to be the core problem. We claim we care about these problems but we don't actually prioritize solutions. Then we overreact to signals that are only loosely correlated with them. A fentanyl addict screaming on a bus aggressively actually is at least commiting a crime, though punishing them for it won't help his addiction or help address the root cause of why they became an addict.

But there are lots of other signals of visible poverty that we police even if they're not strictly speaking crime. We create hostile architecture to prevent homeless people from sleeping in public spaces. Why? Because we don't want them ruined for everyone else. Understandable. But again, dealing with the symptom, not the root cause.

So it's not that I don't care about the opinions of the sensible moderate taxpayer (i am one). It's that I don't think their preferences for solutions actually address the root cause unless taken to their logical conclusion and we put all the poors in an internment camp.

In point of fact, it's often flipped around. It's only been the last few years that I can tell someone I don't drink and be met with lots of, "Good for you!"s rather than silent judgement.
Yeah, the same way as chip density nm values have always been a thing and now the definition has been stretched so thin that it's lost all meaning? This is pure "big number better" marketing bullshit that has no place in a world where even L1 cache is measured in KB.

Most door handles are considerably lower than the mirrors. Door handles are normally several inches down from the window line while mirrors are usually at or above that line.

The Mach E's front door handle things are practically at the window line to take advantage of being in the mirror turbulence area, a handle several inches down probably wouldn't be in it very much.
Actually, the spiral is ugly when it does not start at 8 a.m. ;) I added 6 a.m. and 7 a.m. as these were the most frequent workday start times users asked for. But I can also add other times for early birds.

For night owls: you can add an extra event (e.g., "11-11:01am Morning") and put all to-dos below this so they will start after.

SQLite is a great product and I use it a lot, but it does not have a great history of outside contributions and collaboration. If I were developing any kind of extension, I feel like I would have a better shot at getting help and feedback from a community-based project.

You can use almost any GNU project without depending on all the other GNU projects.
For me personally, I much prefer SvelteKit's routing/state management over React Router/Navigation and Redux. Reactive UI to accompany ThreeJS scenes is probably just as easy in both Threlte and R3F, though I would again prefer Svelte's slot props for composability. This project in particular (from what I can tell) was showcasing V6's new Plugin system, and using their `@threlte/extras` library along with the Rapier plugin. R3F is much better in that regard, with a larger ecosystem, but it's exciting to see Threlte get closer to parity with R3F and Drei's R3F libraries; I'll likely choose Threlte over R3F now if there isn't anything from the React/R3F ecosystem I need.

Disclaimer: I use React/React Native for the frontend at work, SvelteKit for quick prototypes, and R3F or vanilla ThreeJS when playing with 3D in the web. My days of working in ThreeJS for contracted work were long before R3F or even Svelte itself was a thing.

I want the change.

I love it when new and better ways are found to do things.

I love it that Linux is constantly improving and moving forward.

I’m willing to accept along the way some things seem to be mis steps (I’m looking at you snap packaging).

I love it that improved network configuration systems are being adopted because network configuration is a pain.

I love systemd and when new stuf comes out from the systemd project I think “gee I’m glad finally someone is taking a wholistic look at and fixing that messy inconsistent evolved corner of Linux and replacing it with well thought out powerful and integrated solution.”

Bring on the change, change is the best thing about computing and software. I own vintage computers but wouldn’t want to live there.
That Salvia divinorum is somehow legal (varies by jurisdiction) always blows my mind...

You strike me as the type of person who doesn't know that US urban crime decreased in 2023.

The novel thing in world of illicit drugs is that fentanyl is very hard to dose correctly, so death rates are higher than before. That new fact on the scene makes long term comparisons difficult. But, I would say given the dropping crime rates of the last 40 years, we're doing better than the previous waves of "tough on crime" policy including drug wars from the 1980s and 1990s, despite incarcerating a lot fewer people. So I think these "experiments" absolutely are working. That effectiveness may however be overshadowed by the specific dangerousness of fentanyl in the illicit market.

Crunchy Bridge is similar to RDS. It runs on EC2 and is a mature managed service with features such as VPC peering, and now analytics, so you could consider it as an alternative.
Bits came first, and it has a very clear meaning. Measuring memory chips in bits is not a marketing thing -- every RAM chip has been measured this way from the very beginning. Including the ones in your computer right now.

L1 cache isn't a discrete component. It is measured differently because the audience for that measurement is different.

....but what do you actually mean by disaster?

Our prisons do a horrible job at rehabilitation. Our prisons themselves contain lots of drugs. Our prisons are, in my opinion, immorally run. As a nation we believe in retribution and are fine with prison rapes and other abuses that occur there.

The drug war has been a disaster in terms of cost/benefit regarding how much we've spent on it. It's been a disaster in terms of civil liberties. We Americans like to think we are free but walking around with $10,000 in cash will, if found out by police, result in it being seized. Civil asset forfeiture has caused many innocent people to be punished. It has been a disaster in terms of our national incarceration rate. Incarceration for drugs targets poor and minorities. Rich people rarely go to jail for drug use. For example, Rush Limbaugh got a fine and drug treatment.
I applaud trying to be positive and focus on "this is what we do well," but yeah at least some explicit comparison would help. The copy right now is kind of assuming the reader already knows Ansible to compare against as a baseline. Which is probably fair for most people who find your project, but people who find your project are also probably not happy with Ansible and want to know if this addresses their pain points immediately.

Is very interesting though, I think I'm gonna try it myself.

calling it sudo would create the expectations that all the options, config, and usage is exactly the same.

sure! it used a collection of tools, the main ones were

* copybara [https://github.com/google/copybara] to mirror between github and our internal repo and transform the source tree layout to our internal conventions

* mercurial patch queues [https://hgbook.red-bean.com/read/managing-change-with-mercur...] to apply internal changes

there are internal tools to automate the copybara configuration for python packages specifically, and to map between mercurial and google's version control system, but that's the main idea, and a specific review process for adding new packages.

the process is actually documented here though not all the referenced tools are available (or even applicable) externally: https://opensource.google/documentation/reference/thirdparty...
is there a blog post or github repo with more info on how you do this?

Emphasis added. This is because of SQLite3's varint encoding method for numbers. Performance-wise it was probably a mistake, though it's a form of compression, which might have paid off in terms of space.

(I seem to remember seeing something, possibly by you, about this before.)

I wonder if it would be possible to replace the varint encoding... Yes, it'd be a compatibility break in that older SQLite3s couldn't open newer DBs.
Nevertheless, you’ll take the spirits with you.

Android defaults to sending the IMSI (SIM ID) to Google.

> SUPL is used as part of the A-GPS (Assisted GPS) system to get a faster Time to First Fix. The problem is that Android's implementation automatically sends the IMSI (ID of the SIM card) to the SUPL provider for no apparent reason. And because Google is the default provider it's a big breach of privacy.

Yup, in my experience Europeans value quality of life over making their boss's richer.
Do you think people who rip fat lines of coke will never interact with society in any way that affects you?

Of course government gets involved in personal choices. Every crime committed by a person is a personal choice. Interactions between parties are interactions between people. The distinction you're trying to draw here doesn't exist.
Useful product, great marketing site. This is obviously a labor of love. Keep it up!

IIRC, xz was used by a systemd library, and that systemd library got added to sshd so it could tell systemd when it had started or something like that. SSH itself doesn't use xz.

> the Zephyr RTOS which claimed to have some kind of posix compliance...

The work is still in progress. It's also important to note, that Zephyr is intended to run on resource-constrained systems. There is not much logic in implementing fork() for example, since technically, there is only one process. So it implements a subset of the interface.
Here is the link to the talk from the EOSS 2024 where Chris Friedt shares the current state of POSIX support in Zephyr: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLnmXxXuS6w

Between alcohol, nicotine and arguably caffeine, every vaguely successful society was built on drugs.
There you have it, the administrator themselves saying they believe in myths about cannabis: It’s a gateway drug; while simultaneously ignoring that the drug killing people, fent has a perfectly causal gateway drug in vicodin/percs

>“But in terms of us getting clear to use our resources to combat other major drugs, that’s a positive,” Riley said, noting that fentanyl alone accounts for more than 100,000 deaths in the U.S. a year.

It's way more than $100 but I bought a backpack from GoRuck[1] in 2012 or 2013. The cost was difficult to justify, but I always had issues with backpacks and their zippers turning to shit followed by the straps. I carry 20lb bags of clay and generally put it through some rough usage, and 12 years later nothing has broken or gone wrong. I could see myself using this another 10 years or more.

The only thing I regret is buying it in khaki as it's got a definite dirt patina that makes it a little harder to use in any sort of office situation.

In a democratic, Western society, we assume that any adult should and could take care of their own business. Individual rights vs. Collectivism.

However in the case of eldery, this seems not to be the case. Can they responsible manage their own finances? Can they navigate the online world? What society should do to protect its weakest? Who can we blame?

- Should banks to be made responsible for scams? (the UK did it recently)

- Should social networks to be made responsible? (Zuckerberg shall pay and suffer)

- Should we firewall block Nigeria and India from where the most scams originate (English speaking, poor, populations and lax law enforcement)

Or

- Should Microsoft pay - the security of Microsoft Windows is very poor, making all kind of click .exe scams possible? (My personal favourite, all tech scams can be traced down to Microsoft design flaws - you do not have iPhone or Android tech support scams)

Personally I believe banks should double confirm suspicious transactions (HM Treasury gives banks 4 days to freeze and confirm by hand now). However, making someone else to pay for the fraud is just inviting over friendly fraud.

60% of credit card fraud is already friendly fraud: you file a dispute to get money back and say merchant fraud you. If we do this for Authorised Push Payments (APP), or wire transfers, then it is very slippery slope. You can easily double your money if the bank pays - just file a scam claim and launder your money through Indian money mules.

Difficult choices.
What about solokeys.com?

As I understand it the workflow would be:
* get a new passkey
* enroll the new passkey with all existing services
* unenroll the old passkey with all existing services

That is certainly onerous for the "can my mom do this?" test. Like, I'm not even sure I want to deal with this myself and I have a Solo key (in a box).

Further, seems any service I'd want to protect with a passkey, is also a service that would be very difficult to lose access to, should I lose the passkey (or it fails). Therefore I need to enroll two passkeys with each service, to have one as a backup.

Uhh, OK. So now if I were to change passkey vendors/services - it's enroll two replacements, unenroll two? I haven't ever done this so maybe it's not as onerous as it sounds?
