>"Why bother, they won't do anything" has become a rather common phrase I've heard a lot in the past few years, from family to random retail workers, but I'm unsure if that sentiment is growing or not.

What kind of crime are people so commonly being victims of around you?
But there's a huge difference between murder and petty crime. Just because murders decrease because e.g. less lead in the environment, doesn't necessarily mean that petty crime also decreased. This doesn't pass the necessary/sufficient test.

Definitely agreed they are in a great position to take advantage of the electric push. But if they are in tumult while the traditional auto makers are ramping up their production and refining their offerings, Tesla could lose that position.

That said, this does seem like a good move from a business perspective. They already simplified carriage construction. Single-body casting may have diminishing returns.
Evolution is environmental selection, in a context of reproduction with error. We have chemical, geological, genetic and morphological evidence of its history. And the history of the things it produces, our bodies, and then nervous systems, and our minds. Our minds being constructed biologically, implemented with neurons that maintain its activity and memories.

So we know how our eyes, brains and hair came to be with a truly remarkable amount of evidence.

The theory of evolution is also mathematically tractable, to the point of being a tautology. It explains vast amounts of phenomena, and can be tested in the lab and with computer models.

It is a highly robust theory in practice. Useful for doing such things as optimizing aircraft wing geometry.

We know how information flows in evolution, encoded in form and blueprints, how they are maintained and duplicated. Where there is information continuity, where there is not and why.

--

Reincarnation proposes a different form of continuity, that is not just unsupported by evolution, it is in stark contrast to everything we have learned about it and from it.

Reincarnation isn't even a well defined concept, and has no evidence for it. It has no explanatory power or any proposed connection to evolution that makes sense.

It is not only not supported by evolution, but violates everything we know about how life develops and reproduces.

What is reincarnation exactly? There are nothing but vague definitions, which violate any principle of the information flows, we call survival and reproduction, as explained by evolution.

What part of continuity does it maintain? Why does it happen? How does it happen? How and why would it appear and evolve? What was the initial process? In what initial form? How would it progress? What maintains its existence as a phenomena?

Why would it happen at death? Given death isn't a simple event, how does it "know"? Why not continuous reincarnations? Why not merged reincarnations? What constraints what can reincarnate into what? How would any of this work?

Nobody has been able to propose construction, reproductive, selection or adaptation mechanisms for anything that looks even vaguely like reincarnation.

Nobody has been able to propose tests that would identify a reincarnation event vs. non-event, its presence or effects that others can work with.

Nobody has created an experiment to initiate or monitor a reincarnation.

Nobody has a formal model for it. Or even an informal model beyond hand waving. In contrast to the unending number of worlds that don't exist, but mathematicians have no trouble exploring.

Reincarnation is an incoherent psychologically motivated conjecture.

Like many other such culturally generated and valued ideas, it is also interesting, fascinating, imaginative and inspirational. A positive contribution to stories and dreams. Even a comfort, to those who don't require their beliefs and values to be well formed or verifiable.

Nope, the process can start with "reportbug" utility, which needs a setup in the first run, but allows bug reporting from the comfort of your terminal.

On the other hand, once you install Debian, you won't be reinstalling it for the next two decades. It'll just update.

> also, if you use new hardware, just install Debian Testing...

Sure, that's fine for personal systems & office workstations which are behind a NAT, with a peaceful network.

For any server and internet facing devices, install Debian Stable with NetInstall ISO and enable firmware installation. Testing does not get security updates. I repeat: Testing does not get security updates.

I'd argue those stats are also atrocious.
Once they own Mint, Mint just becomes their lowest tier plan. You can keep moving the lowest tier price up to the point the standard T-mobile package becomes attractive.

Mint no longer works independently in applying pricing pressure. The pressure that made T-mobile even buy Mint (however little pressure) is now gone.
I tried something on ChatGPT 3.5 a couple months ago:

"Here is a probability mass function:

p(0) = 0.1

p(1) = 0.2

p(2) = 0.5

p(3) = 0.2

and

p(x) = 0 for x < 0 or x >3

Call this the XYZ distribution.
Generate 20 numbers from the XYZ distribution."

"Certainly! The XYZ distribution you've described has a discrete probability mass function (PMF). Here are 20 random numbers generated from the XYZ distribution based on the given probabilities:

[results w/ three 0s, four 1s, ten 2s, three 3s]

These numbers are generated based on the probabilities you provided, and they satisfy the conditions of the XYZ distribution. The distribution is discrete, and each number has the specified probability of occurring."

I didn't do any real statistical testing but the one answer sure looked right. It was also able to give me the CDF of the XYZ distribution but I was less surprised by that as it's a simple textbook exercise ChatGPT would have read many times.
This is quite an interesting solution. Especially with DFS approach in mind. Thank you!
August Health | Software Engineers (backend, frontend) | Remote, USA | Full Time | https://www.augusthealth.com

We're a growth-stage (Series A in 2022) company that builds technology to enhance the quality of care for vulnerable older adults. Our product is guiding the transition from complex, paper-based practices in the long-term care industry to a digital platform solution that unlocks the power of personalized care, predictive analytics, and value-based contracting.

Technologically, the frontend is TypeScript & React. Our frontend is a major differentiator - our users tend to be less tech-inclined, so ease of use is a business imperative. We also have a service-worker powered offline web app and plan to build another in short order.

The backend is in Scala & Play, Postgres, RabbitMQ, &c.

Please reach out to me (Sid / Dir. Eng.) at sid [at] augusthealth.com
Kind of weird, because Mint has always been using T-Mobile's network, and cuts costs by having terrible support. Mint is just a middle-man, a reseller of T-Mobile's network.

For the record, I have been a Mint customer for going on 3+ years now, pay for my plan annually and I love it. But, I switched from T-Mobile, because I knew they were still the T-Mobile network, and I understood from research online that the price trade off is potential de-prioritization, and their support wasn't very good. But that doesn't really matter to me because I hardly ever need support.
They can count occurrences of a token. Depending on the tokenization, they can't necessarily count occurrences of a character.
Haven't used any Linux Distribution on Desktop so cannot comment that side or the installer but my home server has been running Ubuntu LTSes for over a decade. Last night I upgraded it to 24.04 LTS and I was really surprised how well and easy it was to upgrade. Couple of previous upgrades were a lot more hairier things breaking in surprisingly ways after upgrade but this time everything worked perfectly from the first reboot.
Show HN: Kortex PHP Framework
A Simple to use, fast, asynchronous PHP framework. It is built on top of Swoole. It also packs routing with support for in route vars like laravel, a express like server, basic logging and more features to come.

The framework has high throughput and performs well on benchmarks like json serialization, un cached DB reads, DB writes, File IO & plain text response. Sometimes even faster than traditional PHP frameworks like Laravel, symfony, Cake, CI, etc.

Please check it out, use on side projects, let me know of any issues. Would love to have more constructive feedback from community
Apple working to fix alarming iPhone issue
I am so biased this borders on shilling, but may I suggest taking a look at openSUSE Leap Micro? https://get.opensuse.org/leapmicro/5.5/

We (SUSE) have extensive testing and quality control, if you are looking for something very stable. Leap is the version built out of the same bits as the enterprise version. The "Micro" part means it is smaller, transactional, and immutable. It's built for containerized and virtualized applications. You can install the nvidia OS bits in the OS, and then build a container with libraries.
If you carefully pick the start and end dates, you can report a 42% increase in a (noisy but) essentially flat line. See the other comment by ajross below, or go look at the chart yourself. The problem here is the interpretation of the data.

I’ve been on T-Mobile since the Sprint merger and been mostly happy with them.

My biggest complaint is that they don’t seem to take security as seriously as they should. They’ve developed a reputation for frequent security breaches. I’m not sure that any of the major networks are great at that. Somehow a scammer was able to order 2 brand new iPhones and charge them to my account when I was still under Sprint. Customer service dropped the charges immediately when they saw the shipping address was far away from anywhere we’d ever lived, but it was still frustrating.
We're not talking about historical crime rates. We're talking about recent ones. Yes, crime rates became lower than women stopped having unwanted children, but that has nothing to do with the recent decrease in violent crimes.
On the other hand you did ask for them so what does it mean “canceling”? Just playing devil’s advocate that they did likely start getting the data for you and that takes resources. Otherwise they would be open to a DOS attack that initiates many requests and then cancels them.
I'm in the opposite situation, poly-repo hell.

Our team produces 4 libraries. The code for them along with test apps is spread across 7 repos. So when I want to make a core change (like updating the version of Gradle we use) it results in 7 different PRs that have to go in at the same time, and that everyone has to fetch in sync. It's pretty rare that a change only requires a single PR because of this.

Releases are a mess. To do a release we tag the latest commit in each of the repos with the same release number and use Jenkins to pull that tag from each repo and put it all together. But that's just like a suggestion, and it's not uncommon for a release to be based off of master. Good luck doing the forensics to figure out the state of everything for a release.

The best part is that each repo needs to be in a specific folder on disk because some of them look for the others via hard-coded paths.

There is one repo that needs to be separate, because it's public. But I've been pushing hard to get most of the repos pushed together into a single one just to add some sanity to my PRs.
I don't think it is a mischaracterization to say that privatization played a significant role in the Flint water crisis. For example The Intercept headlined "FROM PITTSBURGH TO FLINT, THE DIRE CONSEQUENCES OF GIVING PRIVATE COMPANIES RESPONSIBILITY FOR AILING PUBLIC WATER SYSTEMS".[1]

That municipal decisions played an important role too, is - if anything - an argument for the thesis that the water supply in the United States should not be trusted and not against it.

>No, people only invest if they see a return.

I'm talking about banks. That's literally their business. You know, to lend money.

> If the return is too low they will simply hold onto the money since interest rates can't go negative too deeply.

Who talked about interest rate? Why banks cant use THE MONEY THEY HAVE to lend/invest?

PopOS.

> A backlog is not a queue.

That's only slightly true, and it's a dangerous assertion from a process standpoint to say it is so. Everything is queues. Work in progress, undeployed code, dark features, sales pipelines.

There is a queue of requirements we have defined but haven't acted upon. That's contained within the backlog, along with bug reports and wishful thinking. The backlog is approximately a superset of incoming feature request queue (modulo anything that skips the backlog and goes straight into WIP)
The point is, motivations to murder versus petty crime are way different. Just because murders are down, I don't think it's necessary that petty crime is also down.
Mint as an MVNO never worked independently in applying pricing pressure. It was always beholden to the minimum cost of one of the big 3.

New MVNOs will launch, others will fail. The only thing I've learned from this is to try and invest in anything Ryan Reynolds is selling.
Same here, I know Prime tho.
I really looks fun, but sound scary
Exactly. The "realignment" in the article heading is clickbait. The article describes a group of right-leaning tech leaders meeting over dinner at one of their houses.
Mint paid T-Mobile for spectrum. T-Mobile could have raised prices that Mint pays, even if Mint is a competitor.

X2go, and all the similar ones, work and is certainly better than nothing. But they're not in the same ballpark as RDP and as such not a viable alternative for me.

It's not a dig as such, RDP is integrated at a lower level so can do things X2go and similar just can't, at least yet.

---

Full-stack web developer with over 10 years of experience. My core technical expertise lies in Node.js, JavaScript/TypeScript, SQL/NoSQL databases, React, Redux, GraphQL, Postgres, MongoDB.

Good practical knowledge in DevOps: AWS (CF, EBS, RDS, Fargate, SNS/SQS, KMS, EKS etc), Opentelemetry, self-managed cloud infra on Hashicorp’s Nomad, Consul and Vault.

My ideal position is as a Backend Developer, or alternatively, a Fullstack Developer with an 80/20 split between backend and frontend development. In addition, I am also interested in incorporating a touch of DevOps into my role
Early social media (MySpace, Twitter, Facebook) was a free alternative to paying someone to run, patch, and scale your own website/blog. It gave a lot of people opportunity to create their own communities and engage with them in a more convenient and immediate way than blogs or forums. The fun lasted for as long as free VC money was there and when that ran out they all went downhill. I am removing my social media posts, closing accounts, and going back to a website with a blog. Instagram, Twitter, and the rest of them are the new MySpace near its end days, they can run on fake accounts and bullshit content for a while, but advertisers will eventually learn that the audiences have gone elsewhere. That other place won't be another social media network, because spammers, bot devs, and mass-manufacturers of crap content are so well prepared that they can start flooding any new platform with their digital manure almost immediately.
Lately the traditional auto makers have been ramping down their BEV production. Besides less competition, extra benefits to Tesla include battery prices going down and more income from selling regulatory credits.
In my experience, people who don't read serious news almost all repeat neoreactionary talking points (including chaos in the cities, etc.). I was even talking to someone from Ghana the other day who said people in Ghana also repeat those things about the US - e.g., how crazy NYC is.

The correlation between neoreactionary disinformation campaigns (e.g., chaos in cities was the theme of the 2020 GOP convention, though overshadowed by Covid) and people's beliefs are too great to think it's coincidence.

The neoreactionary influence campaigns dominate the country and much of the world, IME. While the mainstream incumbent powers are living in a fantasy world of their now-historical world, a world where the serious news media being central to public conversation. They don't realize that most of the real influence is happening over social media, through these disinformation campaigns.

I suspect the upcoming election will be a devestating loss - but not an awakening. Incumbents (think of Blackberry in technology) will crew their ship to the bottom of the ocean.
