That's fair, Synology can be confusing, and it's permission system is frustrating. However, my experience has been that many people use Synology, and I have found detailed articles about everything I've ever wanted to do with it, including adding unsupported 5GbE USB ethernet adapters. It's docker support is nice and makes it easy to setup and run infrastructure like MySQL, postgres, redis, iperf3, and apps like nextcloud, firefly III, only office, etc. It manages certs per-domain (import existing or have it use lets encrypt), and the reverse proxy handles multiple domains and sub domains and makes it easy to remotely access individual apps (or hosts and ports) by redirecting port 80 to 443 and then 443 to whatever the particular docker port is (or IP address and port of something else on your LAN). I also like that the apps can run on my SSD-only RAID storage, and then I have a separate large RAID on spinning disks for NAS storage. Then the Synology devices, fiber ONT, router, main switches are plugged into my UPS backup. For personal stuff I like the Synology platform because it's hassle free, and I think the tutorials by random users makes it approachable to consumers.
How humiliating. But the punishment fits the crime in this case.

It's also interesting that UK courts can compel speech like this. Would the same remedy be available to US courts?
No, they shouldn't pay back the "benefits", because they already paid for the fuels. No market failures there. There is a very obvious market failure with the downsides of fossil fuels however (negative externalities), and Puerto Rico claims said companies willingly misled the public about those — that absolutely is reason for a lawsuit.
I don't disagree but I've always found that argument a bit disingenuous. Have you ever seen an oil well getting drilled in a movie or on TV? Or just seen oil? Or seen and smelled the gas that goes into cars?

Is anyone able to say with a straightface that they didn't know oil that oil is bad for the environment? I get that the oil companies have more blame than other people, but this argument of "the global population was fooled, nobody knew it was bad so we kept using oil, and those mean people at the oil company kept the information from us"... Everyone knows. The same way everyone knows most weird smelling chemicals aren't great for the environment either, but if we have a stained tshirt we'll use them.

We're all complicit, and while I agree some are more to blame than others, it's not necessary to pretend the rest of us are innocent.
My superpower is that I learned to read at a very young age. It allowed me to find some modicum of success despite a lifetime of undiagnosed adhd. If I hadn't learned how to read early, and thus learned how to read fast- I doubt I would have ever gotten to a point of enjoying reading.
And these fossil fuel companies aren't just doing this in the US. When you look at what they view as the path forward to keep selling oil to burn, it's all about doing things like setting up floating power plants for developing nations and subsidizing road construction to aid in the sale of ICE vehicles.

The problem with these companies is the externalities of their actions are not priced in. For them, it's more a simple game of figuring out how to get the world to burn more oil.

This lawsuit may not have merit, but it does point to the need for trying to price in the impact on climate change with oil burning.
And then formalize enough of them that there are now over 1 quintillion valid ways to create a standards-conforming RISC-V core.
Not a lawyer, so no idea if this will get somewhere.

But on the moral side of this, yes, if the operation of oil companies incurs damages to other entities/people, they have to make them whole.

The "Netflix wouldn't exist without fossil fuels" argument is silly. The cost of restoring the environment should be factored in to the cost of producing oil, like any other liability. If that makes everything go up in price, well ... that's the actual cost of that product, consume accordingly.
> Companies like British Petroleum have used marketing to frame climate change as “consumers doing bad things” with their “carbon footprint”. So if that’s what your mind goes to first, that’s no coincidence.

It's also common sense. Literally nothing stops first-world consumers from not buying stuff that requires emission of greenhouse gases except for their lifestyle preferences.

> It’s all about the money. Money buys media which buys narrative and mindshare.

Yep, you bought into the idea that you don't have to change your lifestyle because it is all fault of the big oil.

This is exactly how Qubes OS approaches it with security through compartmentalization: You run everything in VMs, and any compromised VM will not lead to a compromise of the whole system.
Learning the whole course ahead of time sounds easier said than done. But I definitely recommend pre-learning the next chapter in the course instead of relying on the teacher's explanation. Personally, I could never understand a relatively complicated math concept just by listening to the teacher. I usually need to think about it, draw things, read several different explanations, etc, to really get it. But when I was already familiar with the topic, then I could benefit from another repetition and ask questions if there were some complicated aspects.
It's a shame that the actual report is buried behind the marketing BS "give me your email to get the report" stuff.
And that's not even going into the fact that we would already be pushing for more fuel efficiency in vehicles especially if gas wasn't so incredibly subsidized here in the United States. We pay absurdly low prices compared to basically everywhere else and you cannot convince me that is not a significant factor in why we still have so many massive trucks, SUV's, and V8 sports cars.

And don't get me wrong, I love my sports car and it's big thundering V8. But I also know the negative effects it has and I'm completely fine paying a higher price at the pump to offset that.
> You can count on people to take action where action is requested, and to take note where taking note is expected.

Unfortunately, I work with humans and technology, both of whom are fallible. As such, reminders and prompts are occasionally required. Being able to tell if a message was received, read, and understood is a very useful signal.

It would be really good to see this kind of effort on the Amazon Blink cameras, I know people who are returning them because they are app-trash no differently than the no-name (multiple ghost names actually) hardware like this.

There's lots of garbage cameras now of various quality that behave the same way.

What's needed is a replacement firmware and simple flashing technique for the most popular units to appear, so it's not just one hacker getting proper performance that the hardware is capable of.
The problem is that there isn't a direct connection to negative externalities. If there are now 20 hurricanes instead of 10, who is responsible for those extra 10?
No idea why you're downvoted, you're entirely right.
> Sure the person might have to wait an obscenely long time before the lawyer shows up but they still are given the out

This is not to challenge anything you said, but you have two rights here: the first is to have a lawyer present while you are being questioned, the second (and more important right) is the right to remain silent.

Talking to a lawyer is obviously a good idea if you are in any sort of legal predicament. Even if you were not arrested or charged, but have certain legal obligations or are considering signing a binding contract etc.

But when it comes to police "interviewing" you, you don't even have to go as far as to ask for a lawyer. You can simply leave it at "I don't want to talk to you." Even THEN you don't have to go that far. You can literally communicate absolutely nothing. Catatonic non-responsiveness is not a crime. This applies whether or not you are under arrest or being detained. You can always refuse to speak. That is your constitutionally protected right.
these also exist for road bikes. I have them. You need all your cables to run under the tape for them to work. They're a lifesaver for winter training. You can wear normal cycling gloves to a way lower temperature. But you can only ride with your hands on the hoods, not the drops.
The Flower Designer Who Built a Laboratory in His Home
It does if you think that alternatives to fossil fuel would have become economical earlier, had the fossil fuel industry not intervened.

Another framing: how many wind, solar, hydrothermal, etc. plants did we not build because their economic envelope was artificially dampened by investment and legislative preference for fossil fuels?
The export part of the feature does support everything that CommonMark does! Curious what gave you the impression that it doesn't?
Id like to know how this turns out - ie. hiw they decide to mitigate.
Where's the easiest / best place to check in a couple months for a followup?
True and it does bring some awareness, but this is lazy approach. I love the passion people have in cleaning up the environment but we all know (especially the engineers among us) that building a solution, or contributing to one, is far more effective than complaining about a problem.
I think everyone with elderly parents already needs to have "the talk" with those parents, to help them to understand and deal with common (and less common) scams that prey on old people, what forms of communication to trust, what capabilities scammers have, and so on. All that is changing is the scammers' capabilities.
The Law of Large Numbers or Why It Is a Bad Idea to Go to the Casino
We could reduce demand for air conditioning if we designed our lives around the natural environment rather than isolating ourselves from it.

Right now we build giant boxes to live/move around in that suck up the sun's heat, then we insulate the box, then build another box to remove moisture in the box, cool the air in the box, blow it around, and then we have to power it...

....or we could live and move around in an open, shaded area, where wind can pass easily, fans blow on us to cool us (your skin is designed for cooling with wind, unlike most other animals on the planet), and cool mists can assist.

The latter is how I stay comfortable while camping in 90% humidity and 90F temperature. There are other solutions too, like staying underground during the peak of the heat, taking a dip in a pool of water, drinking cold liquids. All these and more don't require an exponential increase in energy generation, advanced engineering, or boxes designed to create an artificial environment.
I believe in these people's minds they lose something if they have a small office. Feeling of prestige - that we are this huge company taking up 6 buildings? Hard to point it down, but for some reason they stubbornly want to pay for these office spaces...
I really hope that it’s about more than public awareness. The power of public awareness is a liberal fiction. The “public awareness” of climate change gets co-opted and neutralized by limp-wristed slogans like bicycle-to-work (where, on the pedestrian-hostile US commuter roads?) and upper-middle class solutions like “buy more Teslas”.

And now everyone knows about climate change. Only there are two camps: those who believe it’s real and those who think it’s a conspiracy theory. More awareness so to speak only makes the two camps dig their heels in further.

The only way to make corporations change is to threaten their bottom line. But at this point I’m sure many have been convinced that the corporations have no responsibility in this.
> Godot 4 web exports were pretty busted for a while, which irritated me enough to make me use something else. I think there's been some progress here though!

Still no web export support for C# yet, it's reliant on upstream support in .NET Core which isn't quite there yet.

It's foolish to say that green threads are strictly better and ignore async/await as something outdated. It can do a lot that green threads can't.

For example, you can actually share a thread with another runtime.

Cooperative threading allows for implicit critical sections that can be cumbersome in preemptive threading.

Async/await and virtual threads are solving different problems.

> What is perhaps worse is that C# lacks an interruption model

Btw, You'd just use OS threads if you really needed pre-emptively scheduled threads. Async tasks run on top of OS threads so you get both co-opertive scheduling within threads and pre-emptive scheduling of threads onto cores.
The first line looks more approachable than in R&J. But in addition to revenue, I'm at least unfamiliar with step-dame and dowager. My phone's autocomplete also thinks that latter one is not a word.
And that's literally what they are claiming, that oil companies are causing hurricanes to hit Puerto Rico

> In the complaint, Puerto Rico says it expects to pay billions of dollars in the future to cope with catastrophes made worse by climate change — including storms like Hurricane Maria, which killed thousands of people in 2017 and triggered monthslong power outages.

I won't support directly importing Markdown as DOCX. For that you could convert from Markdown to Docs to DOCX though.

There's a slight chance that the blockchain trend represents a global underlying open networked computation for the whole planet. Another point is that the greed seems to make people invest into energy research (unless it's rumors). Otherwise yeah it's an expensive casino.
Dropbox was the hardest of my data subscriptions to drop. I needed a new NAS (well a first real one), and got a "cheap" synology and 2 7TB drives. I then used their dropbox sync to synchronize my NAS with DropBox and vice versa, and then to also sync to my backblaze b2 storage account.

After a few months of it working without a hitch, I killed my dropbox subscription. Now I pay a few pennies for my NAS a month, and $3/mo for backblaze.
Things like bitcoin still exist, which still use PoW afaik
I doubt it would have changed much. An Inconvenient Truth came out almost 20 years ago, and traditional ICE cars (excluding hybrids) still have 80% market share. It's fairly well-known at this point that going vegetarian (or vegan) cuts individual CO2 emissions dramatically, but people aren't signing up for it.

People aren't willing to sacrifice their lifestyle for the environment.
And never mind the activists who retarded nuclear power for fifty years.

When do they get sued for fearmongering misleading and putting an industry fifty years behind where they’d be today?
I think American companies need to go back to focusing on producing good products at good prices instead of singlemindedly pursing short term shareholder value. A lot of capability is lost that way.
> But many have been upset about how the Biden administration has gone after big tech

This contradicts the framing of JD Vance as an "anti-Big Tech" choice.

But I guess logical consistency and morals are for poor people. Billionaires can't afford those things.
You're not wrong. But I don't really agree in this case.

There needs to be a broad cultural understanding of company values with respect to DEI. I'm not sure having a dedicated team--outside of someone tracking metrics and giving some presentations--necessarily helps in that regard. As someone else asked in a comment, what concrete things is such a team supposed to do? There's certainly not going to solve society-wide pipeline issues assuming they're even solvable. And I would, perhaps naively, hope that gender-based pay discrimination, illegal hiring discrimination, etc. would be handled within an existing HR bureaucracy given that's one of their jobs.
Panic at the Job Market
I think the climate movement is going to fail soon. This mentality of find villans and blame and attack them instead of looking for productive solutions isn't sustainable for a movement. I don't know about the future of the climate but I think unfortunately the climate change issue, like so many pressing issues might be one we have to give up on until we make fundamental changes in our societies
Looks like you got too close to the truth.
The only thing not available in C# in godot 4 is web exports - they'll come whenever upstream support arrives.

Using C# actually nets you more features, not less.
Unraid does look pretty nice. Synology definitely has difficulty spikes, and then you have to search for some article or tutorial.
Only $1B? These days it feels like way to little.
> The system wouldn’t suit a single house, as it only works with these large centralized cooling installations. However, it can be bolted to a variety of chiller plants—it doesn’t really matter what circulating fluid they use, for example, Ben Nun says

We have district heating in New York [1]. Fascinating to think of district cooling, too.

Love this quote.
I completely agree if these negative externalities weren't several degrees of separation. Car companies could have produced cars with better emissions which isn't the fault of the oil companies, people could get their products later instead of next-day (I'm also guilty of this), you get the picture. I'm glad oil companies are having to be more transparent but the blame is on the entire population of the world.
oil literally comes from the environment, how is it inherently bad for the environment?

we should ban lava too, have you seen the environmental damage it can do?
If you are referring to https://docs.github.com/en/actions/deployment/targeting-diff..., unfortunately i haven't played with it, and agree that it does offer most of the features offered by the product. As you mentioned the differentiator is the automatic rollback and support for external monitoring (datadog as of now). Would love to learn more about how you are using Github actions so i can make the product better, if you can drop an email to hello @ nixmade.com

For Cloud API, my post have been a little confusing, was suggesting/hoping 3rd party services to integrate with open source orchestrator https://github.com/nixmade/orchestrator so they can have their own version of pippy (not Github Actions).
The 'there weren't cost-effective alternatives at that time' as an excuse for at the very least inaction (morally condemnable) and at most criminal litigation-worthy propaganda, lies and damages, I find it, in all due respect, quite poor.
Zig as a Multi-OS Build System (Interview with Loris Cro)
The second law of thermodynamics would like a word...
We did indeed write A LOT of tests!

I would say there wasn't much disagreement there. I typically started out by writing tests for the simple cases, then I would identify edge cases through actual usage of the feature locally, and write tests for those as well. Also, whenever bugs were found, I would write "regression test cases" for those when fixing.
I’ve read the horror stories on here and I understand. There’s what it is supposed to be, what is taught and how it ends up.

Rigidity is probably the biggest issue. It’s supposed to be adapted to an organization leveraging what works well, handing more control to developers and addressing some communication gaps.

When people try to implement it strictly and force the company into the example template it creates a lot of friction.

When I’ve previously explained on here what it should look like, it’s typically nowhere close to that in the horror stories. Developers should have significantly more control in a SAFe environment fwiw. I’ll explain it more if you like though.

I have to run out but I’ll come back to explain the queue stuff too.
> See for example in the past his continued insistence that ISA does not matter at all for performance. One need only look at the huge single threaded performance and efficiency of apple M cores (10 wide instruction fetch) relative any x86 to to see that that statement is not true.

Your argument is that ISA impacts performance... and your example is ARM, which went from worse performance than x86 across the board to having an implementation that sometimes beats x86 because one company made a better implementation than everyone else? That seems like a great example showing that ISAs aren't the primary factor in performance.
It can transform society all right. Into a ghetto, most likely...
This is a bit of a naive perspective, the military is massive in the US and they contract with hundreds of private companies and create thousands of jobs.

Rolling things into taxes and government services doesn't make jobs and money disappear. It's not a perfect system by any means, but there's no question of availability when it comes to national defense priorities... in fact there's a massive abundance and it feels like we sell arms to half the planet. We can do the same for healthcare.
You're right, it's hard. So let's not even bother trying, right?

There is lot of choices individuals could make. Forgo EVs, only walk or bike. Instead of living in large spaces, move to something much smaller like capsules. Forgo electronics and internet in general.
I agree with this tip. Works great for anyone who can autodidact, and if you're good at finding and vetting resources, autodidacting got easier with the internet, and has only gotten a little harder with the proliferation of nonsense on the internet for topics that aren't hot in business or politically charged

Also, this really shows how the incentives in "education" are deeply misaligned with the way we talk about it. At least in the US, the point of education seems to be mostly gating outcomes and sorting people. Learning is incidental and game theory suggests it's better to never take a class that's truly new material for you, because getting a bad grade can harm you, but learning something new isn't captured at all

Very insightful breakdown, thanks.

I do wonder if recent (Covid onwards) trends toward increased home schooling blurs the line between 1 and 3, or perhaps manifests a new segment that could be meaningful; homeschool pods seem to be quite outcome oriented and don’t have any of the bureaucracy of schools. Also I assume for now they are non-material from a TAM perspective, but interested if you have any thoughts on that trend.

It would break a lot of the native interop and UI code devx of the language. Java was never as nice in those categories so it had less to lose going this path.
Great story! This is exactly the kind of thing that we see all the time at Math Academy, that I saw in the classes I taught, and that many MA users report experiencing -- but unfortunately, lots of people find it counterintuitive and have a hard time understanding/believing it until they experience it firsthand.
