so it's the year 2000, right. you got home from school, you're at 6th grade. saw your sweetheart and got fired up all day. summer's around the corner, it's been a pretty good day. a friend at school told you about napster, you download it and install it. you are amazed. you login to icq and wait for her to come online. in the meanwhile you search for some metallica and limp bizkit. it's insane! everything you search is there. you just have to be patient. you download nothing else matters, start playing it. she logs in and says hi, already missed you. and nothing else matters..
It is messages like this that revealed to me a culture of learned helplessness at Microsoft, and I made a decision to switch to Linux.

Then I'm guessing calebm misremembered what the optometrist said. Probably the optometrist said "your prescription improved" or "your prescription decreased".
It isn't about what they are willing to pay for, it is about how much they are willing to pay for it.

A "realistic-sounding, 80% correct version of an expert opinion" only costs US$20/month–and if you are willing to compromise a bit on correctness and/or privacy, you can even get it for free. No way you are getting a real expert at that price.

Whereas, pool $20/month across millions of subscribers, and suddenly you have enough money – and, more importantly, future revenue growth prospects with which to convince investors to give you even more money – to afford roomfuls of real experts to try to get that "80% correct" percentage higher.
Thanks, and yeah, that's a good point.

Douglas Rushkoff talked about how the bunker billionaires specifically asked about hot to maintain compliance by their “security forces” and asked him about how to withhold food rations. Putting aside the fact that there are always lackeys looking to show sempai how much the love him. The most effective way to not get killed an eaten for sport, is simply maintaining a community and stop trying to horde everything. But then again, I wouldn’t expect dragons to understand that.
It also doesn’t indicate they are worse for you. After 3 months I went from almost prediabetic and bad (not awful, just “take care”levels)of LDL/HDL(ratio) to Ideal ranges and dropped 28lbs. I do believe that keto lifestyle is as valid as the Mediterranean and DASH diets, both of which I tried and failed to stick with, as they were more effort. I’ve been in the ideal range for over a year now (just got retested). So I say go with what works as long as you work with your doctor and get your biomarkers checked. The only exercise I really do is some mild resistance training and 8-10k steps a day, but I was doing that before my weight loss.

Fallout shelters seem flawed because, although they allow an individual or single family to survive, they don’t provide an enclave where civilization can regroup and rebuild collectively. They just assume that a bunch of surviving, rugged individualists would just magically -function- after the war. A very libertarian-optimist view of humanity.

I think the more likely dystopian-post-apocalypse looks more like Elysium, with a small number of rich people grouped together, living in relative luxury, served by robotics and automation, physically separated from the rest who are barely surviving, subsisting in the wasteland.
It is not even worth the brain time to think about this when, if you take the past decade of domestic commercial aviation, you're 150,000x more likely to die on your drive to the airport.

Speaking from experience, while a good diet is not a “cure” for my issues, a bad diet is a great way to self destruct.

The things that help or trigger people are going to differ vastly from person to person. For me:

1. Getting enough magnesium seems to consistently provide subtle positive effects. Makes me more resilient physically and mentally.

2. Too much omega-6 (which includes pork and chicken fat) will eventually result in depression and eczema. While I can tolerate some intermittently with no issues, more than that has repeatedly proven to be asking for trouble.

Basically fixing nutritional deficits or toxicities allows for removing a large swath of problems, either in part of wholesale. This generally allows for reducing medications, fewer side effects, or even (only sometimes) allowing removal of meds.

While definitely not a fad (as I would define it), it’s important to keep in mind that the people making posts about it tend to be very excited about finally experiencing positive effects that border on a miracle after being in a pretty bad way for a long time. As such they can end up understandably making sweeping statements that lack the laundry list of disclaimers that are inherent to the topic, or even outright mistaking the cause. I forget the name of the “fallacy”, but a common thing to see is “x cured my y, so now I’m certain everyone must need x for their y”. While this excitement eventually becomes more reasonable, you’ll need to remember to add disclaimers yourself when reading.

> Why do we get the free magic of people making great backward compatible code with other projects and so painfully not with this one? To me, THATS the interesting question, and cutting it off with WELL, YOURE NOT DOING IT SO YOUR OPINION DOESNT COUNT just is weirdly unhelpful.

I can invert your question to: "Why is it that so many people complain so loudly about the X11/Wayland thing and yet so few step in to sling code?"

These projects are relatively old. People know what is broken in X11/Wayland; pointing that out doesn't help very much. What isn't always obvious is how to fix what is broken.

What's left to do is hard. The easy stuff has been done. The grindy but straightforward stuff has also mostly been done. So, what's left is the stuff that is both a lot of work and not at all straightforward.

Given that, what value is there is anyone that isn't bringing code?

If the problem needs a mass of work, the only thing valuable to be brought to the table is code. Alternatively, if somehow a brilliant insight got missed by a ton of experienced people, the only thing that can break the logjam and demonstrate superiority is code.

I'm no fan of Wayland and think it is very much the wrong direction. However, if I'm not willing to commit time, people or money to fix the situation, how much weight does my opinion really carry at the end of the day?
I refurbish and sell Windows XP machines as a side business; there's a surprisingly large market for them. My customers mostly break down into the following groups:

1) People looking to play retro games

2) People looking to work with legacy hardware, especially in manufacturing and healthcare

3) People who want the comfort/familiarity of an older operating system

I'm always careful to issue a disclaimer that Windows XP should never be used for anything where you need security, in practice, I don't see much of an issue. The reality is that although XP is a tempting target in terms of vulnerability, it's not widely used enough to be useful to modern malware.

The machines I sell come with Windows XP Delta Edition[1], which as far as I know comes with all the available updates for XP already installed - no Legacy Update necessary. I've been using the Mypal browser [2], but will definitely try Supermium!

Something I read about six months ago was somewhat disturbing to me. It seems there was a commission formed to determine the likelihood of survival after an EMP attack on the United States. I don’t know the name of the report, but I know it was published in 2008. At any rate, the report concluded that if the United States was hit with an EMP attack within one year 90% of the population would die. This was back in the 2000s when we weren’t as dependent on technology as we are today. I can’t imagine what that report would be like for today’s world.

Early electronic music (e.g. musique concrete) was nuts, because they were literally building sound. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=919RleFXcNM

Once the presets were packaged and productized... you ended up with 808 music.

Which wasn't worse, but was objectively less unique.
I can and shall. Any recent modern iPad Pro had plenty of ability to implement swap. I won’t believe that something in the M1 somehow made that possible for the first time ever in that device, especially when Macs with lesser capable CPUs have had swap for decades.
The US getting hit with an EMP attack is essentially a nuclear war situation. It’s not shocking that 90% of people will die.
The one thing I like is that I've seen them in 1-2 and 2-2 seating configurations for the entire cabin. It's quite nice. The overhead space is almost negligible though, it doesn't fit a standard carry on.
I am not sure exactly what you're saying: Are you saying that you had experience in 2015 that your "default installation" Debian Linux server got malware on the open internet despite it being fully updated weekly?

If I read that right, I would like two things clarified:

1: what "default installation" means. Do you have any open network ports?

2: What does "get a malware" mean? Do you mean it was possible to get malware because a user downloaded som random binary off of the internet? Or do you mean that entirely passively, some malware remotely exploited some network service?

I would like to contribute my experience: I have been responsive for running many Debian servers on the internet for that last 25 years. During those years I have not once encountered one of my systems being compromised.
Of course, you might say that I have just been unknowingly compromised. While this is indeed possible, it is possible for all systems to be compromised without owners knowing it.

If only 3 out of the 400 people laid off were women, isn’t that defacto evidence of discriminatory layoffs against men?

Per the DOJ criteria, anyway.

Statistically, 51% (approx) of the group should have been women. Or 204, give or take.

So where are the other women that should have been laid off?
Can you still push to the repo? Perhaps via --force?
There's no way this isn't some kind of scam, right? How is browsing to a website and calling a number (or installing an entire new app) easier than going to Settings > Cellular and reading the clearly displayed number? Why would this much more complicated service be offered if there isn't some abuse going on?
Arguably the resources are tight because of too much agriculture, not too many people. Specifically, too much alfalfa, used to feed cows. I think the numbers are something like 70% of the water in Arizona is used to grow alfalfa. Reduce the production of alfalfa and the water scarcity disappears.

It doesn’t make any assumptions about what happens after the bomb. All it does is propose the question: how else do you plan on surviving if a nuclear bomb is headed in your direction. Some people are just fine clocking out in that event. Others decided that whatever was on the other side of the explosion, that would prefer to be there than not.

Maybe I misunderstood it. How do you interpret that?
I’m not even sure what the argument is here. The author appears to be saying that ‘X’ is slow despite a lot of effort has already gone into making it fast, so what remains must be that it is doing irreducible hard work.

I assume he’s using X as a generic placeholder instead of formerly-known-as-Twitter, but the argument applies in either case.

In my experience this is never the case. There’s always ridiculously low hanging fruit. On the ground and rotting, in fact.

I’ll use Jira as an example. Their online version takes a solid minute to open an empty form. A minute! Do you have any idea how much computing power this represents!? I can install Windows Server 2022 into a virtual machine in less time than this! I can read 42GB of data from disk, or download a DVD from the Internet.

Someone working for Atlassian was here making excuses: customers implement many complex customisations, they have security rules, etc, etc…

“The system is doing a lot of hard work” is what he was trying to say.

I tried a new, empty tenant. No data, no customisation of any kind.

Took nearly a minute to show an empty form. That’s not “hard work”, that’s the baseline. It can only get worse from there!
Because Johnathan Blow programs in Jai and his experience is talking about the tradeoff set with <technique X> when using Jai.

Since we plebians can't use Jai, that tradeoff is irrelevant.

For example, Jai has hot loading, IIRC (somebody please correct me if I'm wrong). The utility of an embedded scripting language is completely different if your tooling has really good support for hot loading of your engine implementation language.

Furthermore, because we plebians can't use Jai, we can't verify anything said about it in context, either.
I mean if you’re going to have an apocalypse bunker it will most definitely come with kill collars for the staff.
Why not do both? That way you can capture both types of customers. Even if you do subscription model people are gonna sign up for a month and then ditch it. Most people don’t need this service “constantly” so per page seems ideal for one type of customer and subscription for another who would need it for a long time, but you may want to put a hard limit on that too, as a summer interned high school student or college student could do a lot of damage for a law operation needing such a service :D
How to live like a caveman in a post-nuclear age.

Your first order is 3' of earth coverage for your shelter's wall and ceiling: this provides the most protection from initial nuclear blast radiation.

Second order is ammos and firearms: they too must be stored in shelter due to metal radiation.

Third order is 120-day iodine tablets per person: covers the residual radiation fallouts, prevents thyroid cancer.

Fourth order is water supply for a year or more. A buried tank. Rainwater runoff after 3 raining months in a clean covered barrel, distill those before drinking.

Fifth order is food supply, dry goods (beans, rice, corn meal) as well as seed supply for your Victory Garden (in your backyard); including garden tools and cookware

Sixth order is bartering; tiny bars of gold and silvers as well as salt (meat preservatives), sugar and herb, including saffron (for rare item barters with one who has it all). These should be buried instead of inside your home or safe.

Generators are a pain; learn to live without electricity. Cheap Chinese 2-way transceivers are good with rechargeable batteries. A solar panel or two is useful.
>They don’t provide an enclave where civilization can regroup and rebuild collectively.

Your model of nuclear war is flawed, which is understandable given the immense amount of misinformation out there.

If Russia and China launched every nuke they have at the US, about half of Americans would survive even without any use of fallout shelters. Most vehicles would "survive" (continue to operate or fail in ways that are easy to fix even under the new, degraded conditions in the country). At any given time, the US has enough food stored (mostly in the form of grains and soybeans intended to be fed to livestock) to keep the survivors alive for 3 years.

In contrast, you seem to think that most people in attacked countries would die. Either that or you think most of the survivors would degenerate into a distinctly uncivilized mode of living, which is also unlikely IMHO. I can elaborate on this point if there is interest. My prediction is that the period of social chaos lasts only as long as it take for the radiation from the fallout to diminish to non-lethal levels, which is about 3 weeks after the last weapons exploded. (Less than half of the area of the US would be covered by lethal concentrations of fallout in the first place: fallout shelters are a good idea because there is no location guaranteed not to receive lethal levels of fallout: it literally depends on which way the winds are blowing.)

The big unknown in an all-out nuclear war is nuclear winter, which might end up causing most of the deaths, i.e., after the silos full of livestock feed are used up, but IMHO it is unlikely that nuclear winter would be that severe.

In summary: nuclear war will not cause a collapse of civilization or societal order, at least not one sustained for more than a few weeks or possibly a few months.

> their own lane so they don't get stuck in traffic with the cars, let them go where cars may not go, give priority at traffic lights etc

I feel like we are in agreement. It might not be enough but it is necessary. Problem is we don't even have enough political capital to enforce this. Bill deBalsio the ex mayor of New York came on a radio show and said (paraphrasing) he can't order cops to ticket cars and trucks that are loading or unloading in the bus lane. The bus lane is NOT a business' property for loading and unloading, especially not at busy hours. I'd you must do so, do it when there is no traffic in the middle of the night.

How can we do more when we can't even do the bare minimum?
Huge mistake. Water fasting is a breeze when done correctly and dangerous when not. The biggest risks are not supplementing the fundamental electrolytes because your body runs out of them in about 2-3 days and the second is not taking precautions to prevent refeeding syndrome. If you’d like to attempt another 3+ day fasting please read up on the fundamentals this time to ensure a pleasant experience. I love my headspace during an extended fasting, nothing quite like it. Two good sources to read up on this is the r/fasting subreddit’s wiki, (note the electrolyte and refeeding syndrome sections) and if you’d like something with more depth any/all of Dr. Jason Fung’s fasting books.

Those individuals just create data, they don't have access to it, think mechanical turk workers. All modern AI is powered by many such workers. LLM is the most funded modern AI, they have massive numbers of such workers for sure.
Neither party has provided empirical data, so it’s hard to say if I should agree with parent comment or grand-parent comment.

I think it’s likely that a third variable like stress level, political affiliation, or time spent outside more greatly correlates with long term environmental concern. Both of your pure-theory discussions don’t feel convincing.
Sounds like a "cost of doing business" payment to competitors, to avoid a larger "cost of doing business payment" + possibly having to change things.
