I'm a little confused. You said you want to get rid of private property but also your residence is occupied so I can't stay there. Who gave you the right to say that? If there is no private property it seems like we should be able to vote who can stay in your residence.

I honestly think I wasn't breaking the guidelines but I think this case really is up to interpretation, and do I understand where you're coming from. My interpretation of the part I quoted was that the author of the article included that second sentence with the intention of it being interpreted as "...but it should have been mentioned". But you're right, that's my reading, nowhere does it say explicitly that that information should have been mentioned.

Basically, you setup the standard minecraft service and then create a "socket" in systemd to use as stdin for the process(relevant documentation in systemd.socket and systemd.exec).

For me this looks like

-- /etc/systemd/system/minecraft.service --

[Unit]
Description="Minecraft server service"

[Service]
Environment=JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/java-22-openjdk"
WorkingDirectory=/home/steam/minecraft/1.20.6/
ExecStart=/usr/lib/jvm/java-22-openjdk/bin/java -Xmx4096M -Xms1024M -jar /home/steam/minecraft/1.20.6/server.jar nogui
User=steam
Group=steam

Sockets=minecraft.socket
StandardInput=socket
StandardOutput=journal
StandardError=journal

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

-- /etc/systemd/system/minecraft.socket --

[Socket]
ListenFIFO=%t/minecraft.stdin
Service=minecraft.service

-------------

What this will do is add a systemd dependency on minecraft.service to start minecraft.socket first(which creates the fifo `/run/minecraft.stdin`) then setup minecraft.service to listen to this socket for it's StandardInput(while leaving stdout and stderr pointing towards the journal).

The service can then be started and set to automatically start on boot(`systemctl daemon-reload && systemctl enable --now minecraft`). While running, data can be written to the socket file with `echo` and redirection(e.x. `echo "help" > /run/minecraft.stdin`), and the output will be visible in the journal(`journalctl -xef --unit minecraft.service`)

If you set stderr/out to go over the socket as well, then you can attach something like `screen` to it and use it like a typical TTY(or `telnet`).

This uses the file `/run/minecraft.stdin` as the socket, but the documentation for systemd.socket shows that this can also be a TCP port to listen for connections(and systemd.service shows using regular files, but then you have to manually set them up).
Short version: hope, yes. Obtain now, no.

Long version: https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu/discussions/5525

There's a lock stall around resource allocation. The asset-loading threads can stall out the rendering thread.
I can see this in Tracy profiilng, but don't fully understand the underlying problem. Looks like one of three locks in WGPU, and I'm going to have to build WGPU with more profiling scopes to narrow the problem.

Very few people have gotten far enough with 3D graphics in Rust to need this.
Most Rust 3D graphics projects are like the OP's here - load up a mostly static scene and do a little
with it. If you load all the content before displaying, and don't do much dynamic modification beyond moving items around, most of the hard problems can be bypassed. You can move stuff just by changing its transform - that's cheap. So you can do a pretty good small-world game without hitting these problems. Scale up to a big world that won't all fit in the GPU at once, and things get complicated.

I'm glad to hear from someone else who's trying to push on this. Write me at "nagle@animats.com", please.

"For most of our history humans did not have to pay for a piece of land to put up some yurt or hut and live there."

You can still put up your yurt or hut in many places of the Earth, probably including Chiapas, but it seems that more people want to live in London, Munich, Tokio or Barcelona.

Show me a place with a stateless society and without private property that actually attracts nontrivial amounts of people. You speak of such places highly and reverently, but for all their highest level of freethought, they don't seem to compete well with traditional urban centers of the capitalist world.

When voting with their feet, people mostly move to wealthy countries that protect personal property, not away from them.
A fair point. I thought what I was saying was too obvious to expound further, but here goes:

Buying a house in order to leave it vacant is morally neutral. To wit,

Mike Murderer buys up real estate along the river and leaves it empty so that the dead bodies he stores inside are not discovered. Mike has acted immorally!

Mayor Susan convinces the city council to buy up real estate along the river and leave it empty to facilitate moving the residents there to higher ground to avoid expensive and dangerous seasonal flooding. Susan has acted morally.

But they both took the same positive action: purchasing real estate. This action was morally neutral.

As other people in this thread have correctly noted, it’s the justification not the action that has moral implications.
I think your ideas around ‘tradeoffs’ here are very confusing.

Tradeoff is such an intrinsically correct term to use here. People with autism/adhd are worse at some tasks, and better at others. That’s what a tradeoff is.

There are similar discussions around deafness. Deaf people often don’t like to see their deafness as a disability, but as something that defines their culture and experience. That’s still a tradeoff. You can decide to give your child cochlear implants, and integrate them into mainstream schooling - or you can opt out of that, and integrate them into the deaf community. That’s the very definition of a trade off, and it’s a very valid and difficult question.

The issue I have with your take is that its adoption can reduce people’s feelings of agency around their way of life. What works for you isn’t necessarily universal. The idea of a tradeoff is that the same decision can have different meaning to people in varying contexts. You might suggest that people have been conditioned to want to be ‘normal,’ but that is an oversimplification that ignores individuals’ agency, and again, unique contexts.

Except unsafe is used more than just for memory and thread safety. Unsafe can acquire whatever semantics you want it to. It’s just that Rust the standard library and standard language has mandated that memory and thread unsoundness is always unsafe. But I can easily make an additional constraint that I annotate as unsafe and the compiler will help me enforce it (if I recall correctly the embedded guys use this when interacting with hardware even though there’s no memory or thread safety issues & I’ve seen it in other places too). It’s a fairly arbitrary choice about what’s considered safe by default vs unsafe and you can always expand the surface area of unsafe.

As for false sense of safety or not, that’s a value judgement whereas we can actually derive metrics about it (eg. build a version of the compiler that require it be annotated unsafe and then investigate now illegal call sites to count how many errors per instance there turned out to be).
Run your own XMPP server - prosody or ejabberd - and you have all the freedom in the world to use it for whatever purpose you want whether that be remote control, 'bots' or anything else. If you're a resident of the EU you'll also escape the 'chat control' [1] (mass surveillance) law which is a boon. Prosody runs happily on a SBC like a RasPi 2 or higher - even a RasPi 1 would work - and takes next to no maintenance to keep it up and running.

The beatings will continue until people actually modify their buying behavior on the basis of concerns like privacy and autonomy.

Right now nobody cares, where "cares" is defined as "alters buying behavior." If you don't alter your buying behavior in response to this stuff you don't "care."
Agreed. I wonder if they could find better candidates.

Now that he's been found not guilty, does that strengthen his defamation claim? Between an extradition and how much his name has been dragged through the mud, that's quite a lot of damage.

Yeah it was common in 90s PCs. Dell had those silly metal "bars" you had to remove. Like did anyone care if the case would stay intact if you dropped it?

But HP just had so much extra redundant metal that you'd have to touch to disassemble the pc so it was just so much more common(in my opinion).
For me it's not even that, it's simply that The Brothers Karamazov and other novels like it have historicity and depth to them in a way that modern-style light popcorn novels never do. The hardness therefore is more incidental than the means to an end in itself.

And for what it's worth, there's plenty of modern-style "hard" novels that I've enjoyed immensely as well, including House of Leaves, Infinite Jest, Shogun, The Pillars of the Earth, and [pick any Neal Stephenson novel published this millennium].

I think it was Hugo Zucarelli, the inventor of Holophonics, the recording system used for albums by Roger Waters and Pink Floyd, who discovered that the human ear generates a sound of a specific frequency which it uses through interference to discern the spatial location of a sound source. This has always been a mystery as to how, besides knowing if a sound is to our left or right, we can also tell if it comes from behind or in front of us, above or below us, which should be impossible with just two ears on the sides of our head.

I agree, and would add that agile is bad because it's used to iterate along the product vertical, so first create an MVP, then add features. Instead it could be used to iterate from a technical standpoint, first adding the helper functions, then the interfaces, then some of the core functionality.. but the problem there is that most orgs prefer immediate "business value" at the cost of long term good engineering. In some cases, when the application is meant to be short-lived this makes sense, but more often than not I've seen teams suffer from this approach, not realizing they have been digging their own hole for years.

Would fork() alone cause another ASLR roll? I feel like if fork just forks — duplicates the memory space & execution, with all the pages being CoW — the layout of the child is going to be the same as the parent.

Ran the slightly modified:

fn main() {
if fork() == 0 {
dbg!(main as usize);
} else {
dbg!(main as usize);
}
}

which got me,

[src/main.rs:7:9] main as usize = 105397413561856
[src/main.rs:5:9] main as usize = 105397413561856
that's art too, and a pretty narrow selection of it. Music videos are awesome. Pretty good short video essay type deal that I think captures some of the highlights of what makes them tick: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3FdMkgxOPlo

I think you'll find that simply pointing to how TV enabled a whole bunch of new music videos that are fun and speak to a popular demand while ignoring the explosion of other music videos that push the boundaries of the art isn't actually that compelling an argument that new forms of art are bad. Music went from a luxury to something that soundtracks everyday people's everyday lives - there's more of everything and that's awesome.

In fact, they did. Being a sailor was about the most dangerous profession that you could choose, including the military.

Until today, some jobs at sea are pretty dangerous. Being a fisherman in Alaskan waters is much more risky than being an (American, not Russian) soldier.

People still do it. Which convinces me that people will risk their lives going to Mars, and more than a few of them. Some people are just built that way.
The idea of being more creative by being limited reminds me of the journaling style solo TTRPG's.

I like to dabble in fiction writing, but give me a blank piece of paper and I freeze. With the journaling solo TTRPG's you are essentially given a list of prompts which are quite often set in a predefined world. Somehow by being forced to write a story with these prompts I can write so much more and far quicker then I could by staring at my own piece of paper.
