Anecdote: I've had countless dealers over 20 years in many countries and continents, not once has someone tried to sell me anything else (besides hash). It's always been some cheery barefoot guy with dreads growing it in his closet.

Now that it's legal in Germany I'm going to grow my own, and experience the (surprisingly common!) miracle of harvesting the exact legal limit of 25 grams from 3 plants ;)
I have a decent amount of Tesla shares, that I purchased around 2017. All I want is a shareholder vote to get rid of Elon. His time has passed.
I havent used SQL server much since the 2008 days but it used to happen quite often that the estimated and actual execution plan differed a lot. I think the estimated part also includes how many rows get returned from a subquery and that informs which joining algorithm is used.

I second your longing for something more detailed than explain query plan in Sqlite though.

In fact I complained about it here and some sqlite developer pointed me to these resources:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30405275

I've never actually tried yet. Queries are still too fast to do all that:)
Then why is my feed 95% ads lately?
It's a little hard to compare countries when measurement techniques differ, but my rough layman's interpretation puts the proportion of renewable energy as a part of Germany's total electricity generation at around 40%. For the USA, this is just above 20%, and for the UK it's somewhere around 60%. And in Norway, well, that rounds up to 100% :)

That only takes into account electricity production, though - these countries might still import large amounts of oil and gas for burning, such as Germany, or simply buy their electricity from other countries.
Never tried it, but if the complainer wrote: tail -f *.logs

Which involves glob’ing. I assume it allows to monitor several services at the same time.

Can systemd do that?
It is a single place for installation, updates, security fixes and the whole administration of KEDA across the whole fleet of k8s clusters.
Very soon there will be configuration optimization and recommender, dynamic scaling policies and much more. And yeah, also gui abstraction over `kubectl...` is there :)
My niece was on Ecmo several years ago after a serious accident. She’s applying to university now.

Idempotent APIs + sane timeouts + retries.
Hopefully this fails, its idiotically restrictive. Every argument like this was also used against the open internet & encryption back in the day. Bill's like this are going to allow China and other adversarial nations to leapfrog the west in the long run. Open source Ai won't stop, it'll just move to places like UAE. And good luck trying to restrict individuals from using it in the US, code is protected speech.

I like the feature request, but is it? How many people are saying "I think I'll switch to Tidal" over a subtle feature like this? How many people prefer the faked shuffle way?

What are the odds that Spotify originally did a true shuffle, then at some point A/B testing "proved" that the modified shuffle improved some metric? Not to mention that putting a thumb on the shuffle function lets them manipulate plays and maintain the sweet payola revenue.
systemd-nspawn is actually pretty great, and is mostly just a tool that exposes functionality that systemd already needs for other reasons. IIRC it was originally developed to aid in testing systemd itself, and was initially shipped as an unsupported extra in case other people found it useful.

systemd-resolved is the only way I've ever been able to get dockerd to play nice with Tailscale DNS; it's also the best way that I've found to get a system to pick different upstream DNS servers depending on domain. The alternative is hand-rolling it with dnsmasq or something similar.

I admit I haven't really seen a huge advantage to using systemd-networkd over NetworkManager yet, but for servers with relatively static network configurations, I greatly prefer systemd-networkd over any of the various implementations of ifupdown.
Even a rubber-stamp warrant process serves a point, by making the police identify who they are targeting, as opposed to targeting everyone, and deciding who to charge after the fact.

Warrants aren't supposed to be hard to get. They are only supposed to stop the most blatant fishing expeditions.

I'm not sure what in the article makes you say that? Anyway, the answer is no.
A large amount of the problems in the world don't require computer programs over a few hundred lines long to solve, so LLMs will still see use by DIY types.

People may underestimate how difficult it is for an LLM to write a long or complex computer program though. It makes sense LLMs do very well at pumping out boilerplate and leetcode answers or trivial programs, but it doesn't nessecarily track that it would be they would that good at writing complex sophisticated and unique custom software. It may in fact be much further away from doing that than a lot of people anticipate, in a self-driving is just around the corner kind of way.
I think my biggest gripe with journalctl is (and this may just be because I'm novice at using it) that discovering what sort of logs are on the system feels a lot more complex.

With regular logs, I can go to /var/log, ls the dir, and get a nice list of what's being logged. There will be, for example, an `apache.log` file that has all the logs relevant to apache.
Unlikely in the near term. As I understand it, rescheduling to Schedule III would mean that marijuana (and marijuana-based products) can be sold with a prescription. But, for a doctor to prescribe something, it needs FDA approval. I don't know when/if FDA will approve any marijuana-based treatments. And even if they did, this would not authorize recreational use.
Same, I'm a new used Model Y owner, and the supercharger infrastructure (existing, expected expansion, and maintenance) was part of the reason I bought it. It would be nice if Musk would provide some rationale of what's going on over there so we know what to expect...
Look at all the wonderful ways American citizens flourish now that basic public systems and protocols have been privatized! Life is great here, provided you're paid well.

Wait, you're not paid well and got laid off by hand-wringing executives that went cagey when SVB collapsed? C-clearly the problem is not enough investment in Big-Tech then! How will anyone be able to meaningfully disrupt other businesses now that basic consumer protections exist?!

So on and so forth until the $AAPL in your 401k shrinks to a size that you no longer feel embarrassed calling them out.
> You're literally commenting on an article where the ENTIRE supercharging team was just fired, presumably to save money at Tesla.

Oh I'm in shock about that. As I wrote above, "WTF?"

Whatever it is Musk is trying to do at Tesla, I don't get it.

But given his track record, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.

This is very cool. Could someone use Logfire alongside Honeycomb or another OTel platform? Honeycomb's strengths in drilling into an interactive chart vs. Logfire's strengths in drilling into a stream of text logs (and SQL support!) seem very complementary.

Certainly seems like the Logfire initializer could coexist with code like in https://docs.honeycomb.io/send-data/logs/opentelemetry/sdk/p... - is this a reasonable assumption? We're looking into modernizing our Honeycomb integration from their older direct integration to their OTel SDK, and would be very curious if Logfire can exist alongside this. Do you do any patching of OTel internals that would make this impossible?
I felt out of the loop, thinking that Zero VM was some kind of new distro for OpenJDK but chasing <https://packages.debian.org/sid/openjdk-22-jre-zero#:~:text=...> to <https://sources.debian.org/src/openjdk-22/22.0.1%2B8-1/debia...> lead me to https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/tree/jdk-22-ga/src/hotspot/cp...

Good news! run0 will use polkit[1], which uses JavaScript for its rules[2], so there's no limit to how complex your rules can get!

On the other hand, maybe adding a JavaScript interpreter to Linux's trusted computing base isn't good news...

You made a burner account and all you could come up with was this comment?
My wife and I are from the U.S. She's from Belarus, but has been in the country for 30 years. We went to France about 10 years ago. I was semi-expecting the stereotype (rude, arrogant), but everybody we met was nice. One guy at the hotel seemed standoff-ish at first, but he was very friendly by the time we left a week later. Pretty much everybody we interacted with was pleasant and helpful. We tried to use the few French words we knew (thank you, please, hello, goodbye type of thing), but for the most part we had to speak English. I think almost everybody we interacted with spoke English, at least a little. This was in Paris mostly, so maybe that's not representative. I was generally impressed with the people.
It's not just "You can buy with cash, and we conveniently have an ATM available to get cash if you didn't go to your bank."

I have heard from a very reliable source that the ATMs in most weed shops on the Eastside of Seattle dispense cash because you're going to be required to pay with cash at the counter. There are allegedly a few exceptions, but the majority of shops accept only cash and the ATM dispenses bills.
Neat. Now how about a filesystem that takes a directory of files and exposes it as a single json file? You could call it the Filesystem File, and mount it in the File Filesystem if you wanted...
It whooshed right past your head.

Go is stone cold simple to pick up. ITs simple to reason about. I can decompose a project and spoon feed it to a JR engineer and they can get through it.

Rust is none of those things.

Its great for low level stuff, it is in the kernel right next to C and go will NEVER be there. Why, because that is what rust is good at.

> At least now generics are supported, unless one needs gccgo, maybe in 10 years we get Pascal enumerations.

Again I like rust. Crates being colored (as in functions), the shitty compile and tests times... these are things that are holding back rusts adoption in more places... None of this stuff is on the road map to get fixed, it's quite the glass house you have.

Go is going to replace a fair bit of python/ruby in the next few years... Is it going to be rust or zig that eats into c/c++? If the rust community keeps on the way it has been, zig will eat all the core apps we depend on.
Liburing 2.6 Released
I've seen way too much harm done by alcohol than good. Unfortunately, it's already normalised since ages, but I'm glad it's getting regarded in a negative light more and more.

People complain about being sent to jail for weed as if this they are suffering a political persecution, but people can get in legal trouble for drinking alcohol in public places or illegally producing or selling it as well. In some European countries, if both parents are caught drinking alcohol at the same time, even just beer, they'll be stripped of their parental rights. Imagine if that would be a law in America for people who smoke weed. This would be called a genocide or something along the lines of political persecution, some absolutely laughable arguments.

Cigarettes are straightforward evil and harmful. The usage of tobacco is extremely idiotic, it was normalised and promoted by the tobacco companies for profit, despite all the known negative effects.

Gambling must be strictly forbidden. It's pure evil and it's only harming both people and society. In America, gambling isn't freely available to people, same as in many other countries. Try to run a casino in your back yard and get to enjoy the company of some handsome guys in blue. Is it oppression?

Sugar should be limited, same as many other harmful components used in the food production. Excessive usage of sugar leads to obesity which again, is bad for everyone. European countries pretty much do some really good job in this regard.

I'm really annoyed by the hypocrisy of people who so eagerly try to promote and normalise weed as if this is going to help everyone. It wouldn't. I really wouldn't want to see my children smoking it, offered by some chavs who would be friends of their friends I would not approve because of their low behaviour. Weed is same bad as alcohol, nicotine, gambling and sugar you mentioned. It slows down intellectual development of children and degrades the intellect of adults as well. Yes, weed can be a good antidepressant or a pain-relieving medication - if consumed for a short period of time and strictly when it's necessary. This whole hysteria with legalisation of weed reminds me of tobacco companies aggressively promoting cigarettes through the media back in the previous century or modern pharma peddling opioids.

Cannabis and magic mushrooms come to mind.

The old myths about LSD and psilocybin making people jump off buildings is still the prime focus of the old propaganda machine parked up in the corner, also known as a TV.

Here in the super great UK. If you are seen by a police officer bending over in a field picking magic mushrooms he will arrest you for possesion of a controlled drug. If the police officer sees you pass them to your friends he will also arrest for intent to supply a controlled drug. A long prison sentence just around the corner.

Shame they dont have the same concerns about GM foods and all the chemicals/pesticides farmers spray onto crops which then runs off into our, used to be lovely, rivers.

For me this is not about protecting the public but about controlling the public.

Maybe this is a state by state thing? I have never observed this in WA.
The Java specification is bigger because it has to define the entire Virtual Machine where a compiler can target already defined architectures. I'm also not seeing much in the way of "implementation details" in their specification. Can you point out what you mean?
The point of this article is that the motherboard's distribution of relatively faster pcie5 lanes to devices and their physical slot sizing/numbers are currently inappropriate and limit the number of devices one can attach to a PC. This is not an invalid claim, or even limited to pcie 5.

All modern desktop motherboards have very limited expansion IO available compared to a similar class motherboard from a decade ago. Part of this is that all the IO protocols now are so fast you can't just have 8x nvme storage hook-ups (like you'd have 8x sata in the past) in the space of a modern board's controller chip(s) and the CPU. IO has grown faster than processing. And sharing pcie with GPUs makes this even worse.

The market has changed and desktop PCs assembled by humans with the expectation of adding new parts later is relatively smaller. And a smaller consideration is given to them versus the big (server/mobile) markets needs for pcie. This probably won't change but I think an article pointing it out as a bad thing for desktop computers is welcome. Maybe some high end mobo manufacturer (Asus?) can make a real non-server mobo with some actual physical IO (extra pcie 5 switch/bifurcation magic?) for the niche markets.
MonetDB is another database that uses a VM [1], using an instruction set called the MonetDB Assembly Language (MAL). I believe it pioneered the technique [2]. The VM is basically designed to express the query as vectorized functions on columns.

You’re right. I did miss the not. Sorry!
anns originated in hypotheses about how neurobiology might work in the 01940s but diverged completely from neurobiology in the 01960s; they contain nothing we've learned about neurons in the last 50 years, and not much from before that either (they don't, for example, do hebbian learning). current anns use training methods like gradient descent with momentum and activation functions like relu which have no plausible biological realization

It was a bit unclear to me from the thread, is there a persistent configuration option for this? I like the idea of tinting the terminal, but I also want to be able to turn it off with a global config option rather than having to type out a --background flag every invocation.
Enron developed quite a few actual energy projects in the real world. They were as much of a legit company as a car manufacturer, but the scam part of Enron eventually got so big that it blew everything up.
That’s the first time I’ve heard this claim. Tell me more?
I wonder if someone on their team angered Elon, or if it’s just related to a new strategy.

Elon will properly rehire those he needs from the team via extra compensation as needed.
I have strange documentation habits and sometimes when you document everything in code comments up front, Copilot does seem to synthesize from your documentation most of the "bones" that you need. It often needs a thorough code review, but it's not unlike sending a requirements document to a very Junior developer that sometimes surprises you and getting back something that almost works in a PR you need a fine tooth comb on. A few times I've "finished my PR review" with "Not bad, Junior, B+".

I know a lot of us generally don't write comments until "last" so will never see this side of Copilot, but it is interesting to try if you haven't.
JAR is not executable, it's a zip-archived bytecode (basically the same code with better readability for machines, very easy to decompile back to sources, you usually only lose comments and whitespaces). Java is an interpreted language, not compiled, at least mainstream VMs.
I see it as positive when people have too much money and time to dedicate to rubbish. As an African (Nigerian), I wish my country had such first-world problems instead of most people scraping for the bare minimum.

Yep. A good friend of mine who is a perfusionist (a relatively obscure midlevel med tech role focused on ECMO/CPB operations) has made it clear they would rather just be allowed to die than be subjected to either. The majority of cases they're involved with, but most especially the ECMO cases, per their account, are associated with what seems like unnecessary suffering pending death. Their opinion is that in most cases, it's probably not worth the extreme cost and effort, and that tracking 'survival' as the criteria for success is misguided given poor quality of life afterwards, and usually death related to long-term side effects/complications. They admit that their opinion may be clouded by the fact that they've self-selected into working in hospitals that are the most likely to take 'hopeless' cases, though.

The problem is that it doesn't matter who pays the cost. Let's say I live in the US where the social safety net isn't large and companies can fire me at will. Let's say I'm also competent and driven. Logically I focus on money because having a large bank account is the only safety net I can ever get. Since everyone understands the lack of a safety net trying to get large amounts of money is socially acceptable. Now lets' say I got lucky and never had to use that safety net but until one day I decide to start a business which means I will make 0 income for a year. Now I have money to cover my expenses as I try my hand at running a business. But given a strong safety net it'd be illogical to keep that much money around unless you're paranoid. You enjoy life, go on vacations, etc.

Granted, the hoarding of money and drive to greater wealth eventually leads to a capitalistic dystopias with massive wealth inequality. But you get lots of startups!
