It's incredible how good those books are, and I genuinely feel sorry for anyone who hasn't experienced them. I read them over two years ago and still remember many details as if I read them yesterday. This is quite rare for me, given how much I read. Strangely, I didn’t have the same experience with "The Power Broker."

Ever since finishing them, I have been on the hunt for historical biographies of similar quality. While I haven't found any that match up completely, here are a few that come close in my opinion:

* Truman by David McCullough

* Grant by Ron Chernow

* American Caesar by William Manchester

I've also read the three-part Churchill series by Manchester, but it didn’t quite measure up to the LBJ series for me.

If you have any other suggestions, please share them!

My brother in law loves Vonnegut, I read all of his books also. Personally, I don't understand the appeal

It's also self-dealing against the interest of TSLA holders. But those people seem especially masochistic.
Then run the cron every minute. As you can see with his example, it doesn't even run every 5 mins.

For unproxied records you can set the TTL to 1 minute as per their documentation..

And normally your IP would change only when reconnecting, so it's not a big deal...
Vista significantly changed the security model, introducing UAC and requiring driver signing. This caused a bunch of turmoil. It also had much higher system requirements than xp for decent performance, meaning that it ran at least a bit shit on many people's machines when it was new, and that did it no favors.
What Visa earnings tell us about the state of the payments industry
I heard somewhere that lack of integration testing is one of the chronic problems facing the Starliner project.

And that, in turn, is arguably because after a couple decades' worth of outsourcing, Boeing itself is no longer integrated.
There's the pain of having an unfilled position with work that isn't getting done.
There's also the pain of making the wrong hire and having to let someone go.

Most of the people I've spoken with on this issue find the latter to be much more painful. Therefore, they end up over-correcting with an overly arduous hiring process.

I think what they aren't giving enough weight to is the fact that the hiring process might actually scare away the best candidate.
The documentary "Turn every page" was great also. Sad to see his editor died last year.

Why do you think it would be similar for coffee?

Lots of people have drunk themselves to death.

I've never heard of anyone who was otherwise healthy coffee-ing themselves to death through regular consumption.

(There are rare conditions that make caffeine fatal, but I'm talking about the general population.)
Propranolol, I assume? Much safer than alcohol and very good at reducing social anxiety/stage fright in my experience.
Using the Heat from PoW at Home
It's a fair question. However, even muslims are human, i.e., when I've worked in strictly muslim countries (or for that matter, alcohol free geographical zones) someone, somewhere, is drinking (or they know someone that can get it, it being throat and brain cell destroying hooch) even though they're also ticking the zero booze box. See how complicated humans are? But isn't a zero alcohol life not a viable position even for teetotallers of yore, fermented fruit, some food, all contained alcohol.
Did you mean erythritol? It's often paired with monk fruit, but it's a completely separate substance. Erythritol has been linked to stroke - e.g. see https://www.cnn.com/2023/02/27/health/zero-calorie-sweetener... - but I have seen no such links involving monk fruit.
Saying stuff like that in a hearing to deflect blame doesn’t surprise me, but were any individual engineers punished for this?
Me too, Robert Gottlieb died in 2022, hopefully the last book gets finished and is as good.
This is really cool, thank. After many decades, I’m still on the fence with multiplexers. Mostly because I enjoy native scrolling and copying so much.

There is a fundamental conflict between first line care and financial efficiency.

Countries with successful healthcare institutions use purchasing controls to negotiate.

They dont rely on the charity or good nature of suppliers.

Instead, they say "thats too expensive, lower the price or we will take the option 90% as good for 10% the cost".
Not at all. The reason the easter egg does not appear is this is not actually a Casio Module 593 emulator. It is simply running the compiled sensor watch firmware. So for those words to appear there must be code in the firmware to make it happen. And someone has sent a pull request for it! Unfortunately it was rejected due to trademark concerns.

https://github.com/joeycastillo/Sensor-Watch/pull/102

The sensor watch board is not being fully emulated either. The code is compiled to WASM and run directly. Some functionality is missing. Low power states, for example: the emulator freezes if the firmware tries to put the watch to sleep.

It would be nice if the sensor watch board could be ported to qemu. I tried to do it only to discover I was a little out of my depth.
I have a router connected to the internet, it gets the public IP address.

The router is connected to the internal network in my home and has the IP address of 192.168.1.1.

Behind the router is my computer which has a non-public IP address, for example 192.168.1.2. My computer is the one I want to run the program to update the DNS entry. My computer does not know what the public IP address is by looking at its interfaces.
It allows you to do something else while waiting for the request to complete. Linux has historically bad hacks to enable this. Windows NT has had IOCP since it's inception, but not only for storage devices, as io_uring is limited to, but networking, TCP sockets, mail slots, named pipes, etc.

"Are you done yet?" vs "Get back to me when you're ready, gonna go do something else". Aka blocking i/o vs nonblocking i/o.

(I always wonder why Windows NT doesn't get more high performance implementations for networking et. al. with this feature; licensing? trade off in perf elsewhere? can't tweak kernel params to your heart's desire?)

io_uring implemented an additional feature of a ring buffer, but Microsoft has followed this feature; I think it was first introduced in a later build of Windows 10 and should be in 11 & 2022.

Microsoft has a graphical example of IOCP:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/fileio/synch...

Yes, because they would be easily "caught" if they didn't make decisions based on merit.
The belief that moderate consumption alcohol isn't just harmless, but in fact beneficial to your health, is extremely widespread in my personal experience. It's past time to change that if the science disagrees.

And you're right, risks are all about trade-offs and how you implement that advice into your own life is entirely up to you. Crucially, they're not making recommendations to make anyone feel better about their harmful decisions, they're making them to help people make informed decisions.
Party platforms change over time. They're Republicans because that's the name of the party.

Its totally fair to say they aren't conservative anymore though, much like the Democratic party isn't liberal (at least classic liberal, I'm not a fan of the term having been co-opted and redefined).

More importantly to me, I just don't see much light between the base goals of the Republican and Democratic parties. They have done a hell of pushing voters into diametrically opposed corners, but I don't see the same with the parties. They debate details of most topics, but at the end of the day they both seem to be focused on growing the federal government, locking down our borders, and completely ignoring the concept of a budget.

If anything, both parties appear more to be run by neocons putting on a show of division to keep people distracted from what they're actually doing.

The problem is the subjective definition of "succeeded", it's never going to succeed on all counts because the problem rent controls is dancing around is not enough supply, and so the solution it's offering is just to change who the winners and losers are in a way that is more acceptable to voters than the status quo. So by that measure they're a success in all the places where voters keep voting for them.

No surprise. Just about everything equating activities to life expectancy has the confounder of whether one can do the activity. Hadn't thought about it with alcohol but it makes perfect sense.

I also strongly suspect that a bit overweight being the best is the same thing at work.
Three bigger issues I think is short time rentals; like Airbnb and the like, lowering the available housing for the rest of the population.

Regulation on the amount of holiday rentals would aliviate some of the pressure on the market.

Taxation on empty apartments, second house and higher as more properties a single entity can have.

Housing should be seeing as a social right and not as an investment. Law should reflect that

Based on the amount of debt, inflation may exceed 2-3%, and there will be complaints. To fix the debt load, a combination of inflation, taxes, and spending cuts will be needed.

Additionally, the intergenerational transfer of wealth from Boomers to Millennials and Zoomers will occur over the next 20ish years as Boomers die off. This wealth transfer could be used to increase tax revenues.

One tax that could be raised would be the estate tax, which would be unpopular among the wealthy, but if lowered to 1MM-1.5MM (maybe 10% rate) and over 50MM (50% rate) would help to fill the deficit. The more likely scnario is the government allows higher inflation rates and we have a bag of cheetos costing $10 in <10 years.

Sure, insulin doesn't have to be expensive, and shouldn't be. Economies of scale work for insulin, and it doesn't require recent expensive research in order to be made commercially available.

Benralizumab and tebentafusp are probably very expensive to make and took a lot of work to develop and test. Not very many people need them, but the people who do are likely to die horribly without them.
* once Putin grabbed the Crimea and then the LNR/DNR, the "neutrality" bid fell from the table

For a while it looked like Ukraine was turning the tide and they were told then not to negotiate for peace because they didn't have to - wait for an even better negotiating position. So they're told don't negotiate when you're loosing and don't negotiate when you're winning which approximate boils down to don't negotiate. Many things are possible when the alternative is losing a hugely destructive war. I.e. these things were and still remain on the table. Sure, Ukraine's not getting their land back unless they win the war but how likely is that to happen anyway.

Knowing Ukraine before the war there was already a huge Ukraine vs Russia ethnic divide that was being made worse by the Ukrainian government passing anti-Russian laws. I see Putins objectives as bringing ethnic Russians back into the fold and establishing a buffer zone. I think if a real Russia-NATO conflict broke out Russia out of necessity would turn to nukes pretty quickly - so I see this Russia-Ukraine war as less of a war of a conquest and more of a way to avoid nuking their Russian Ukrainian cousins if a full scale Russia-NATO war was to break out. They would have less qualms nuking West Ukraine as there are fewer cousins in the west so that would be free to be part of NATO.

There is the premise that Russia would not honor such an agreement of neutrality and I don't agree with that premise for a raft of reasons. If the premise that an embolden Putin will go on a concurring rampage I would have to disagree with that as well for another raft of reasons.

I don't have time to go into the whole history of it now - but I think an outcome where Ukraine splits in two where West Ukraine is a neutralized entity or absorbed into their surrounding NATO countries would have been and is still possible. Yes that would mean NATO on Russia's boarder but there is already a huge NATO boarder on Russia - that wasn't the problem.

I was looking to move to Ukraine in 2020 because I think it's a lovely country and Lviv is a lovely city. Very cheap where I could exist cheaply and spend my time reading books. It's a very corrupt country which does keep prices down but makes business difficult - but since my source of money is foreign I could effectively hide my wealth and avoid attracting attention. I decided against it because I did expect this war to break out as people were not taking Russia's warnings seriously. They had a lot of 'fixer-upper' housing that looked like they were already bombed, the housing was cheap but the problem is if you turn up with a bunch of money to fix the housing you're going catch the attention of the corrupt mobsters. I think Lviv would be an even nicer city if governed by Poland as it has been before in the not so distant past.

What you said makes sense. But I feel like representing lots of mostly-unrelated industries is a weakness, too?

Like, imagine you're a teacher and you're on strike because of conditions at some steel mill you've never heard of. You want to support your fellow workers... but also, you're forfeiting your income for a cause that's not yours, for people you don't know.
I find this stuff super fun to learn about. My knowledge is far from complete but the more you know, the more pedantic you can be about things like 'virtual memory' and the misnomer of setting the min/max page file to 1.5*RAM (was used to ensure full memory dumps, not for performance).

If you want to know more, grab the book Windows Internals.
Is it their fault? I regularly see college students cheating on their CS homework/projects using LLMs. They probably use them on interviews as well. In response I think companies will have to make the process of getting a job more difficult and drawn out.
And what after the war? They sure had plans and policies about the economy after it was all transformed to solely support the war effort?

> I don't understand why they didn't just add two or four more fields to ipv4 e.g. 0.91.127.0.0.1 is localhost where 0.91 can be omitted in the local context.

> The most significant early step was the passage of workers compensation laws, which compensated workers in the event of an injury, increasing the costs to employers if workers were injured (Aldrich 1997). Prior to workers comp laws, a worker or his family would have to sue his employer for damages and prove negligence in the event of an injury or death. Wisconsin passed the first state workers comp law in 1911, and by 1921 most states had workers compensation programs.

…

> OSHA in particular dramatically changed the landscape of workplace safety, and is sometimes viewed as “the culmination of 60 or more years of effort towards a safe and hazard-free workplace.”
Few notes:

- from the first part of the article I feel a sort of hidden critic of automation and it's outcomes, well, while people should ALWAYS remember the Ironies of Automation by Lisanne Bainbridge [1] it's obvious that as much as we automate as less humans we need to do something and similarly that we loss diversity/leveling anything toward some "standard solutions". This is to be corrected with openness and experimentation, meaning investing more in research and development, with long terms goals, without managerial practices, not to be avoided trying to stop the history course;

- from the conclusion, well, I read only a simple point: to get works done companies need to know how to work, this it not much a single policy fault, it's the byproduct of modern universities and schools with their target to create replaceable useful idiots instead of technicians because they are more manageable. It's WAY TOO LATE to correct the course changing policies, we need SOME GENERATIONS growing in new-old schools whose target is forming Citizens not Ford model stereotypical workers and we should remember a thing very clear: intelligence alone is like an engine, useless without fuel/energy. It's easy to loose and very hard to make. So the actual situation can't be corrected quickly nor easily nor without an IMMENSE effort with a gazillion of false start and issue before reaching the goal.

My rights are not subordinate to my company's, if anything it should be the reverse. My employment contract is intended for mutual benefit and the company also reserves the right to privacy from me in some things, even things in the scope of my employment. It should be acceptable to do things outside the scope of your employment using corporate devices, and you should retain a reasonable expectation of privacy when doing so.
