Agreed, and all the "shame if next time someone would sell it on the black market" comments don't exactly make those "researchers" look like the good guys.
This is such a sweet tool! I love the way it looks with simple images / simple backgrounds. The waves are subtle in those areas which creates a cool sense of depth for the more "complex" aspects of the image. Well done!
Yeah, of course they would.

"Just regulate us less, seriously!".

Their solution to this situation is quite literally monopoly, which is hilarious.
It is one of several (well, at least two) hypotheses proposed as putative explanations for the relevant observations. Hypotheses are more than placeholders for theories; they are at least outlines of them, needing completion and verification.

Proponents of dark matter have not defined it in terms of the observations it is supposed to explain; they have set out the known constraints on what it would be like, if it exists, but these constraints are not tight enough to amount to a definition.

The language you quote disapprovingly is just a person acting like one, insinuating that the hypothesis they find more desirable or plausible is as good as settled, when it really isn't.

Is anyone really gullible enough to blame the EU for CrowdStrike rolling out a faulty update? What is Microsoft PR thinking? I also find it amusing that George Kurtz (CrowdStrike CEO) was perfectly capable of causing a global IT disaster in 2010 as McAfee CTO without kernel access (the update just deleted critical Windows XP system files).
It's Hertzner for that specific reason of it's an EU company.

Yea, the EU really needs to fix the EU-US GDPR issues. It's not like the US will.
Right, and we wanted to talk about all security solutions and not make this about one company. We also wanted to avoid shaming since they have been seriously working on eBPF adoption, so in that regard they are at the forefront of doing the right thing.
I've been using Jellyfin since the beginning and it's been a total joy to use. Even though I trust the project now, in the beginning when I was migrating off of Plex I had both running simultaneously in separate VMs referencing the same read-only library. This dual config worked great, though I didn't use Plex much at all after Jellyfin quickly proved itself even in the early days of its development.

The diverse client support is awesome. In addition to streaming video content to various house devices, my favorite is my "jukebox" music listening setup consisting of a RPi 3B+ with ALLO Piano 2.1 DAC hat feeding separate speaker and subwoofer amps with desired crossover frequency. Running on the Pi is Mopidy with the Mopidy-Jellyfin extension to access Jellyfin's libraries along with the Mopidy-mowecl extension which provides a slick web front end for the DAC (you can also queue music from the Jellyfin GUI and "play to" the DAC). Highly configurable and fun to tinker with. For example, I have a USB numberpad keyboard plugged into the Pi with assigned hotkeys by way of the triggerhappy service. I love being able to keep the music playing if my desktop workstation is off or rebooting.

That's cute, but I don't know of any EU rule that requires a Windows to give the blue screen of death when a third party kernel module fails.
Dead stars sometimes shine again – and gravity itself may be responsible
I don't find that particularly credible. If Microsoft would boot all security products (including their own) out of the kernel and force them to use specific interfaces for this there is no anti-trust concern at all there. It would only be a problem if they wanted Windows Defender to remain having privileged access while taking it away from everyone else.
No answer would satisfy someone playing dumb
False. The homeownership rate is about 66%. Most people can afford a home here.

it's not that simple

user-land drivers are a thing, heck they are the standard for modern micro kernel architectures

and even with hybrid kernels pushing part of the code out of the kernel into something like "user land co-processes" is more then doable, now it's now trivial to retrofit in a performant way and flexible way but possible

Mac has somewhat done that (but I don't know the details).

On Linux it's also possible, through with BPF a bit of a in-between hybrid (leaving some parts of the drivers in kernel, but as BPF programs which are much less likely to cause such issues compared to "normal" drivers).

A good example for that is how graphic drivers have developed on Linux, with most code now being in a) the user-land part of the driver and b) on the GPU itself leaving the in kernel part to be mostly just memory management.

And the thing is Windows has not enforced such direction, or even pushed hard for it AFIK, and that is something you can very well blame then for. You in general should not have a complicated config file parser in a kernel driver, that's just a terrible idea, some would say negligent and Windows shouldn't have certified drivers like that. (But then given that CrowdStrike insists that it _must_ be loaded on start (outside of recovery mode) I guess it would still have hung all systems even if the parsing would have been outsourced because it can't start if it can't parse it's config).

Basically, the US is not compliant with GDPR because of a couple of laws, which I've forgotten the name of. Some courts have found that because the company is US then even if the data is in the EU a US court can force the company to hand it over. This is why Google Analytics is illegal in a few countries.
Haskell has this simply for historical reasons. It's a wart and we wish it weren't so but changing it would break a lot of legacy code (and probably have adverse performance impacts in some cases) so it remains. So as it is today, [a] indeed means it can be empty or not. And a function signature of "[a] -> a" is essentially an unsafe partial function.

That isn't to say you _have_ to write it this way for new things and there are packages like https://hackage.haskell.org/package/safe which provide non-partial/safe versions of the various unsafe base functions (like head, maximum and friends).

The base package in Haskell also includes nonempty which is probably what you want in a lot of cases, anyway.

>pathologically drug averse at the expense of their children

I'm sorry but this just comes off as so perverse to me. Giving amphetamines to children and forming a lifelong dependency on pharmaceuticals should be something to be apprehensive about. IMO it should be drastically less common than it is, the industry has every incentive to over-diagnose and act as glorified drug pushers. I'd rather take a closer look at the environmental factors for ADD than just let the pharma industry run wild on it.
I have seen many people downplaying the complexity of a datetime library. "Just use UTC/Unix time as an internal representation", "just represent duration as nanoseconds", "just use offset instead of timezones", and on and on

For anyone having that thought, try reading through the design document of Jiff (https://github.com/BurntSushi/jiff/blob/master/DESIGN.md), which, as all things burntsushi do, is excellent and extensive. Another good read is the comparison with (mainly) chrono, the de facto standard datetime library in Rust: https://docs.rs/jiff/latest/jiff/_documentation/comparison/i...

Stuffs like DST arithmetic (that works across ser/de!), roundable duration, timezone aware calendar arithmetic, retrospective timezone conflict detection (!), etc. all contribute to a making the library correct, capable, and pleasant to use. In my experience, chrono is a very comprehensive and "correct" library, but it is also rigid and not very easy to use.
If you want to enjoy pure JS/HTML/CSS, you can try vanjs with a web components library, for even better experience, or you can create your own components using van-element.
There are many different options to register jellyfin in the US, and many other options to register in other countries. Each as their own set of rules. If Jellyfin isn't registered in any way then the law gets even more complex (if you are registered anywhere other countries will generally recognize that and accept the laws of where you registered apply, but if not registered nobody knows but the lawyers can spend millions fighting it out)
Those numbers are made up, just like all the others.
They'll rationalize the irrational.

The thing is, if more of the value produced by labor was directed back towards labor instead of equities, you're going to see far fewer people asking "how is this sustainable?", because they're on the gravy train too, but the equities holders have now gotten so used to being the special kid in the class that they can't fathom not trying to keep labor costs as low as possible.
It's a perfectly sustainable model (assuming you're fine with an economic crash every dozen years or so)

They were once required to do so (and may still be; I’m not sure at this point), at least if they want to offer flights to or from the US:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ATPCO

However, interpreting this data properly is decidedly nontrivial (>1M LoC).

Pricing does not imply booking is OK, though. And even circa 1999, Southwest hassled us (ITA Software) about even showing their fares, without us offering any way to book any flights on any carrier.
RHEL kernel.. right. Imho, I'd trust an upstream stable kernel far more than a RHEL one for production which has dozen of feature backports and an internal kABI to maintain.. granted RH has a QA team, but it is still impossible to test everything beforehand.
> I’ve met multiple dozens of people who say “oh I have adhd”

People say a lot of things. How many of those people are actually diagnosed and actively treated for ADHD? There is diagnostic criteria they need to meet to be diagnosed. Watching videos on tiktok isn't a diagnosis. It is quite evident when people are "faking" ADHD.

As someone who has struggled with ADHD my whole life and got a diagnosis in my 40s, I would much prefer children are overdiagnosed than not - and I really don't think thats as frequent a thing as is made out.

I guess it may be different in the US where there is a financial incentive to prescribe medications, but in the countries I have lived with universal healthcare its more likely underdiagnosed, IMHO.
It’s fields all the way down; even thinking of atoms as particles isn’t accurate as far as we can understand matter.
I'm not sure I follow that logic. Nothing about justinhj's statement implied "we should do this regardless of what anyone else thinks". They just stated something which is a priority to them. They're taking part in a deliberative democracy by engaging in a public discussion of their priorities. Am I misunderstanding something? Are you maybe responding to something another comment insinuated?

Obviously physical limits will bind at some point; indefinite exponential growth implies at some point that each electron in the observable universe is outputting the entire current world GDP every year, which is pretty unlikely under our current understanding of physics. But it's for you to explain why the physical limits bind at the point we happen to be at right now. Why does the observed historical trend break now, rather than (say) in fifty years' time?
Inflation (so numbers grow), different companies at different stages, etc? Also not exponential growth, but just significant growth and crashes every X years
Why is Hasura so slow?
Hello!

We've conducted benchmarks across various GraphQL backends and discovered that Hasura is performing significantly slower than its counterparts. We want to ensure the accuracy of these results and are eager to collaborate with Hasura experts to explore potential improvements. Could we discuss strategies to optimize Hasura's performance in our benchmarks? Looking forward to your expert insights.

P.S.: Please focus on the constructive aspects of these benchmarks, as they specifically test a feature present in Hasura, which is marketed to deliver "fast" GraphQL APIs on top of any data source.
AFAIK copyright laws do not make such a distinction. The most common exemption is fair use, but it requires the addition of some new creative aspect. Whether or not LLMs are creative or derivative may be an area that the courts are forced to define. Given the recent rulings that put this determination squarely on the court, I’m not sure the courts have the expertise to do so.
*the credit they are able to afford

or, rather, the risk financial institutions are willing to take in order to, again, transfer value to shareholders in an ever-increasing manner.
RAG is all you need*. This is a pretty DIY setup, but I use a private instance of Dify for this. I have a private Git repository where I commit my "knowledge", a Git hook syncs the changes with the Dify knowledge API, and then I use the Dify API/chat for querying.

*it would probably be better to add a knowledge graph as an extra step, which first tells the system where to search. RAG by itself is pretty bad at summarizing and combining many different docs due to the limited LLM context sizes, and I find that many questions require this global overview. A knowledge graph or other form of index/meta-layer probably solves that.

Have you seen the sacrifices made to afford those homes? Just because someone owns a home doesn't show the whole picture.

There are plenty of Americans that own homes and are struggling to make ends meet elsewhere.

Home ownership is set up to consume a person. Miss a payment and there are serious repercussions to one's financial well being, so it becomes a priority.

Up to a point, miss a credit card payment and it's extra fees. Miss a utility bill a month, and it's the same. Buy less food and you'll survive, albeit less comfortably.
Before I started this I would say "exercise is good", but only now do I truly know how good it is.

eza's scope is much larger than ls's, and has tons of additional features.

And IMO, that's sensible: ls is primarily an interactive tool (basically all uses of it in shell scripts are wrong), so adding more features that help users to better/more easily make sense of their directory listings is a net benefit, even if it makes the tool somewhat slower.

Folder icons in the terminal may sound silly, but eza uses them to indicate empty folders, among others. Colour-coded file age/size columns make parsing a directory list faster. Git columns saved my many trips through gitignore / git status. And so on.

And even through not particularly fast fuse-over-network connections it's still faster than I can type, which is more than good enough for an interactive CLI tool.

This isn't right. If I need a system to run with a piece of code, then it shouldn't run at all if that piece of code is broken. Ignoring the failure is perverse. Let's say that the driver code ensures that some medical machine has safety locks (safeguards) in place to make sure that piece of equipment won't fry you to a crisp; I'd prefer that the whole thing not run at all rather than blithely operate with the safeguards disabled.
It's turtles all the way down.

They havent said dont donate, they have said donate to client maintainers instead.

As they point out in the post, Jellyfins No1 problem is keeping their clients up to date with new features and design polish.

They have identified that the money being donated to them would be much better donated to the maintainers of the clients to encourage them to do more/better work, but they dont feel its right that they choose how that is distributed and they want the users to donate to the client they favour most. I think this is great, and hopefully some of the clients which have been dragging recently can get some donations and encourage some fresh development on them.

Tightening constraints from the employer class around employment, and loosening constraints from middle class individuals on cultural expectations leads to low status men abandoning their partners.
