If you're not worried about multiple machines, then appending to bashrc is low effort. If you are, then jumping to version controlling at least part of your bashrc (just source it from the main file) is probably the easiest solution anyways. I agree that all of this is more effort than history, but only barely and I think it's worth it for common things that are suited to becoming functions or such
> We used to regulate air travel. It was a lot more expensive then.

I'm not sure this is the gotcha you think it is. Air travel, even in coach, was downright luxury compared to where it is today, and I'm not even talking about in the distant past, I'm talking about 25 or so years ago. Seats are narrower, legroom is practically nonexistent, and the seats only recline like two inches these days. Also almost everything is a la carte.
I had a couple of times when car rentals and hotels decided to add surprise charges when I arrived. As those was booked through Expedia, the latter refunded me those immediately (and I suspect went and got them back from the vendor later)
> Elite sprinters can apply peak forces of 800-1000 pounds (3560-4450 Newtons) to each limb. Beyond ~1300 pounds, ideal human leg bones would surely break[1].

I followed the link and it just said

> If you're looking for the specifics to snap a piece of your skeleton, it takes about 4,000 newtons of force to break the typical human femur.

So the sprinters are already producing that much force (900 pounds) and the 1300 notion seems unsupported. Not to mention that applying the force with different amounts of torque might not break the bone, since bones are 10x stronger in compression so can withstand a lot more force longitudinally.

> They are not your useragent, they are acting as a reseller: You buy a product from them which they acquire elsewhere, taking a profit in the process.

Yeah so what? Why should anyone, be it a private person or a commercial entity, be restricted from buying something and then re-selling it to another person or entity?

The only thing I'm willing to accept as a restriction for any kind of legal transaction is a reasonable price cap (i.e. no sale above face value of tickets + 5% fees) to get scalpers under control and for security reasons (e.g. name-bound tickets for sports events to prevent hooligans from attending or flight tickets to prevent terrorists from boarding).

But neither applies in this case - flight tickets usually are not a scarce commodity that attracts scalpers and the airline has the full set of PNR data.
Pretty sure we could call an AR-15 vegan too. I think that's why it's weird.

Or in other parts of the kernel. It's been the case in multiple occasions that buggy locking (or more generalised, missing 'resource' release) has caused problems for perfectly safe BPF programs.

I've been a big fan of Obsidian for years. Once I started teaching myself how to write long-form fiction, I tried at least six different tools. When you're doing zero-to-one work, "magic" tools will fuck you up every time.

The beauty of Obsidian is that there isn't any magic. Write markdown, stick it in a folder and do nothing. Or you can write markdown, organize a nest of folders and tags and do a lot.

I didn't know how to write long-form fiction, and I determined that the last freaking thing in the world I wanted was a tool that imposed a process or recipe. God, recipe-driven fiction is a POS. So I started with nothing and added and removed structure as necessary to teach myself. I even set up a second folder to add all of my research and how-to trials and errors as I went along. Way cool.

Just finished my first novel at ~700 pages. My currect system is still more complex than I need, but I'm learning. Along the way I wrote a build pipeline where I just write in Obsidian, run a script, and end up with pdfs, ebooks, interactive website, etc. I've even got it almost all the way through the desktop publishing part that comes at the end. Probably need another year for that.

If those folks start adding any kind of lock-in (I know they won't) or beginning over-engineering the UI, I'm out. And guess what? I can take my markdown elsewhere. And my pipeline still works! It's a beautiful thing.

I use far, far too much Obsidian, building cataloging systems in the sky. Tools tend to engage your imagination of what you might need to do instead of what you actually need. But with Obsidian, I don't need to go down the garden path. I can pull that crap back out. I couldn't have learned writing with any other tool. Obsidian allowed me to make structural and Information Architecture mistakes and iterate without locking me in somewhere. Love the tool, guys! Keep doing nothing!

The author of TFA read Charles Murray's Coming Apart and has inexpertly regurgitated (to the extent of just copy-pasting the figures) that book's central thesis while failing to understand its nuance and context. If you're interested in this idea -- and you should be, because it's important! -- then you should just skip the article and read the (vastly superior) book.
It does work for a small minority of society. For the rest it does not.

Also, it's very hard to make something work which huge monied interests design products in a manner to ensure you fail. Are you just going to ask your grocery store to stop putting salt-fat-sugar in bright packages right by the checkout, packages and foods that are being developed by well paid groups to get you to consume as much as possible.

It's also very hard when your body is designed to do one thing. Consume as many calories as possible so you don't starve to death, because your genes are screaming at you "Starvation is coming, it always does".

So the only 'cool' statement is yours by completely not understanding the situation at all.

I'm not familiar with Mojo, so my understanding above was based on their blog post that you linked, and assumptions based on context. Checking their website, I find a sentence equating "identity" with "having an address" though:

I think the original argument for copyright isn't directly based on money and isn't a stretch. The argument is that it encourages people to distribute their own works by reducing the risks of doing so, which is a thing that benefits us all.

I don't think that copyright restrictions really apply to the use of data to train LLMs, and that fact is why I, and a number of others, have removed our works from the public web entirely. There is no other real way to protect ourselves from people using the works in a way we object to.

But Apple doesn’t have the industrial and commercial uses that Linux and Windows have. Where you can’t suddenly switch out to a new architecture without massive amounts of validation costs.

At my previous job they used to use Macs to control scientific instrumentation that needed a data acquisition card. Eventually most of the newer product lines moved over to Windows but one that was used in a validated FDA regulated environment stayed on the Mac. Over time supporting that got harder and harder: they managed through the PowerPC to Intel transition but eventually the Macs with PCIe slots went away. I think they looked at putting the PCIe card in a Thunderbolt enclosure. But the bigger problem is guaranteeing supply of a specific computer for a reasonable amount of time. Very difficult to do these days with Macs.

Ryanair flies to Berlin. Even before the new airport, they were flying to Schoenefeld which was just outside the city limits. In fact, the old airport was just across the runaways of the new one and you can still reach the old terminal building with the commuter train. Schoenefeld was the old East Berlin airport, which was indeed suboptimal for the load of travellers it got over time.

Devil's Advocate answer... why should someone creating a web based application ui care about the underlying operating system it's running on? I daily drive Linux personally, but TBH, for the most part, I don't care about a lot of the underlying details when working on a project, and I do care more than most.

Even for stuff I deploy, my preference is a pretty bare host OS, and just using Caddy + Docker to deploy and reverse-proxy applications. It works fine at the small scale, and you can vertically scale a lot. But I'm not sure I would take that approach for a lot of various applications. It really just depends.

> demonstration of the ability to procure liquid capital immediately available in the applicant's name at the commencement of the accreditation period in an amount of US$70,000 or more will be deemed adequate, although a lesser amount will be accepted upon a showing that in the circumstances it will provide adequate working capital.

So, if you have a way to show that less will work, ICANN says they're flexible. IMHO, if you're a registrar trying to make money, you need to expect to sell a lot of domains, and so you'll probably need much more credit than $70k to manage payments from customers and to registries and ICANN.

Fixed fees are $4k/year, per registrar variable fees were about $1.5k last year if I read the reports correctly. Registrar margin tends to be about 10%, unless you're a specialty registrar, so you've got to be selling $55k/year of domains to break even on the ICANN fees. Let's call that $4,500/month for easy math. But ICANN presumes you need 5 full time employees for customer service; indeed says 18000 INR/month for customer service base salary in India [1], which is about $200/month USD. Five employees is $1,000/month but my US rule of thumb is all-in costs is at least 2x, so you need $20,000/month in domain sales to cover that.

With the icann fees and the employee costs, you need $24,500/month in sales to break even. I'm happy to ignore computing costs, it's probably not nothing, but you can do a lot with a little these days.

$70,000 is not quite 3 times the minimum sales number. Having that much credit available means you can continue to pay suppliers(registries) if your payment provider puts an unexpected hold on your payments, as long as it's resolved within less than three months. That doesn't seem like an unreasonable ask for customer continuity.

But, if it's too much; there are reseller programs. OpenSRS was reseller only when it launched in the first batch of ICANN accredited registrars. Annual fees and credit requirements are much less to be a reseller; if you end up with enough volume that being a registrar instead of a reseller makes sense, you'll likely have accumulated available credit, too.

Sure. But it's conceivable that future tech will produce drugs and doping regimes that minimise the health risks.
My impossible search for the best, most powerful, most private journal app
I went down this rabbit hole for about six months last year. The hook is easy if you're working in IT (hint: it's in the name). The first two months were quite enlightening as I learned about Zettelkasten, PARA, Second Brain, Obsidian, Roam, LogSeq, etc. I even did a side journey into bullet journaling (it appears that craze is dying now).

Towards the end of my journey, I couldn't help but feel I was getting pulled into a cult. I would watch certain Youtube personalities famous in this area and realize they are talking in a language that doesn't make sense. To the uninitiated, it sounded fascinating, but the more I learned, the more I realized a majority of it was cyclical.

Perhaps this is an overly pessimistic view, but nowadays I just write stuff in a daily Logseq journal and move on. No organization, mind maps, second brains, thought galaxies, idea mitochondria, etc. Just a little bit of English spread across a few bullets.
There are both bad and good regulations. Acting like all regulation is bad (say restrictive zoning or allowing people to block density) allows people to target the good (building codes, not building of garbage dumps or toxic materials) to get rid of

Regulations are not inherently good nor bad so please say what regulations are bad and what regulations should be changed because “less regulation” doesn’t mean things get better and can mean things get very very much worse (hey let’s allow toxic wast dumps under homes because that was too regulated before!)
Another intermediate-mass black hole discovery at the center of our galaxy
Unless you marry someone rich, I guess.
Your first statement is flat-out wrong. The supporting citation does not actually support it, though it hints at how institutional housing ownership has contributed to housing price inflation. To wit: it explains how innovations during the GFC turned direct investment into an appealing proposition for investors. These investors helped to backstop housing values that would have fallen even further than they already had. In other words, the much-needed correction to the pre-GFC bubble that the GFC represented was disrupted and reversed.

The actual solution to housing price inflation is a full correction that wipes out the inflated value of housing in this country, cutting each property's worth back down to its intrinsic value. Affordability and use would reset to what the real market actually can sustain, as when the income tax forced wealthy property owners to divest of and demolish or convert their grand mansions into apartments for people to actually live in.

There is no housing shortage (Zillow has an obvious conflict-of-interest). There is no need to load even more money into the system by providing cheap money to builders (a naked corporate giveaway that will surely represent yet another wealth transfer from taxpayers to business-owners). Pop the bubble. Planning considerations can follow, once land and property values actually reflect their intrinsic worth. If you do it before that, you throw billions of dollars worth of resources and labor into misbegotten initiatives that do no good for the communities that they're supposed to serve (e.g., highway expansion).
I think it's implied that there is some fuzziness in the matching, not precision to the 7th decimal of some objective test or something. That said I agree it certainly isn't a requirement to be similar in specific attributes to get married. Perhaps somewhat common though.

that's just alderon_matt's assertion. wendell and GN have triaged this to approximately 10-25% of units, seems pretty consistent acros a whole bunch of different environments.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gTeubeCIwRw

similarly, the oodle maintainers only found it to affect a small % of machines (but reliably, of course).

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39486930

The alderon_matt thing is actually carefully worded to say affected machines invariably degrade... but they don't say how many machines are affected. It's deceptively worded, intended to be read the way you read it, but actually not saying that 100% of machines are affected either.

at the end of the day game developers are just people too, and they're equally frustrated with the process/not willing to cut intel slack. but like, this is shades of the Ryzenfall thing (which, remember, contrary to early takes did have several real severity 9.0 issues behind it, including a PSP jailbreak and a UEFI module signing bypass, as well as memory encryption bypass and some other goodies - AMD doesn't issue AGESA patches for "root password lets you do root things"). People have moved past the facts and into the "trying to generate noise to get attention" on levels that are not supported by the facts.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QuqefIZrRWc

the Alderon Games assertion, specifically, is very aggressively/deceptively worded and is not supported by the broader facts, nor does he have any real idea what can or can't be patched. as wendell notes - all kinds of "unfixable" hardware bugs are indeed fixed in microcode, routinely. that's why it's there, because of the pentium FOOF bug.

this isn't to say there isn't a degradation problem, there clearly is something (or more than one something) going on. but the alderon games press release is very over-the-top compared to all the rest of the evidence. GN is pointing at 10-25% and this is very consistent across a number of different operators, boards, environments, etc. That's the number Dell is getting in their validation (depending on the department/how stringent they validate), that's the number Wendell is seeing in operation in datacenter error reports. And they're thinking possibly some kind of fab defect affecting those units, basically (oxidation of the vias).

For context, OpenAI recently caught flak from the less substantial organs of the American press for outsourcing RLHF/safety/content moderation tasks to a small SF firm called Sama (surely coincidental, eh @sama?). Sama hired workers in Kenya, Uganda, and India and paid them well above prevailing local wages, but the work involved the usual unpleasantness that content moderators have to deal with.
