Given the metaphorical nature of your statement, I assume you're feeling overwhelmed or that things seem chaotic. Here are a few suggestions that might help:

1. Take a deep breath and try to stay calm. When everything feels upside down, it's important to center yourself.

2. Identify specific issues that are troubling you. Breaking down the problem can make it more manageable.

3. Focus on what you can control. There may be many things outside your influence, but concentrate on actions you can take.

4. Reach out to friends, family, or a professional for support. Talking about your concerns can provide relief and new perspectives.

5. Practice self-care. Ensure you're getting enough sleep, eating well, and exercising.

6. Limit exposure to negative news if that's contributing to your stress.

7. Set small, achievable goals to create a sense of progress and control.

Would you like to discuss any specific aspects of what's making you feel this way? I'd be happy to explore more targeted advice based on your situation.

It sounds like you're feeling overwhelmed or like things are out of control. It's okay to feel this way sometimes. Here are a few steps that might help:

1. *Pause and Breathe:* Take a few deep breaths to calm your mind. Grounding exercises, like focusing on your breath or feeling your feet on the ground, can help you feel more present.

2. *Identify What's Within Your Control:* Write down what’s bothering you and separate what you can control from what you can't. Focus on taking action on the things you can influence.

3. *Break Things Down:* If you're facing many challenges, try to tackle them one at a time. Break big problems into smaller, manageable steps.

4. *Reach Out for Support:* Talk to a friend, family member, or professional who can provide support, advice, or just listen.

5. *Practice Self-Care:* Engage in activities that help you recharge, like taking a walk, meditating, listening to music, or doing something creative.

6. *Limit Overwhelm:* Reduce your exposure to stressful news or environments if possible. Sometimes stepping back can provide a fresh perspective.

If you feel like sharing more about what’s going on, I'm here to listen.

First, let's clarify what you mean by "the world is upside down." Are you referring to a personal challenge, a global event, or something else entirely?

Here are some general suggestions that might help, depending on your specific situation:

If you're feeling overwhelmed or stressed, try grounding techniques like deep breathing, meditation, or mindfulness.
If you're facing a significant challenge, seek support from friends, family, or a mental health professional.
If you're concerned about global events, stay informed through reliable sources and consider ways you can contribute positively to your community or the world.
If you're feeling disconnected or lost, explore new hobbies, interests, or experiences to rediscover your passions.
Please feel free to share more details about what you're going through, and I'll do my best to provide tailored advice.
The LifeDrive was such a weird Palm!

On one hand I hated it, for its infuriating loading times compared to its predecessors (due to the hard drive spinning up for ~every unexpected memory access of an OS designed for having everything in RAM/ROM and literally no concept of file/block based memory at first) and its relative bulk.

On the other hand: Four! Gigabytes! That could hold more than two full movies! It was also my first Palm having Wi-Fi, which was nice.

All in all, to me it was a symbol of Palm quickly losing touch with modern developments: For example Symbian was miles ahead from an OS point of view, even though usability was nothing compared to Palm OS, and then there was the iPhone and Android, of course.
I expect you'd have a pretty complicated jurisdictional case if a team of FBI agents were to go into a dispensary in a state where it was legal and round everyone up. And pretty much no sane politician would go anywhere near it. I also wouldn't (hypothetically) travel with the stuff over state boundaries.

A lot of competition for tacos in Texas. I can vouch for it.

It is.

The idea of pushing more contracts than you can read, all of what you must accept just to survive is a deliberate attack on our agency. You are just more sensitive to it.

Few of us only write for fun, vs for results on a deadline. I like having time with my wife, and getting work done so we can be together. I also like writing, but I mainly write to accomplish tasks. There are many, many uses for AI within the domains of "writing" (English or code)

Hypothetically you could talk to all your neighbors. But I understand the tradition is only communicate with apartment neighbors with percussive modes of communication (I.e. pounding on the wall).

I may be misunderstanding you, but taking your statement at face value:

Awesome, thanks.

I think @flexterra (aka gcollazo) should also add `"check_same_thread": False` to the recommended OPTIONS, right? Unless they left it out intentionally?
Yep. In Netflix case each Titus host can run hundreds of containers per bare-metal instance at any given time. One advantage of running a multi-tenant platform like this is that you get better observability on multi-tenancy issues since you're doing the scheduling yourself and know who is collocated with who. It's much harder to debug noisy-neighbor issues when it's happening on the cloud provider side and your caches get thrashed by random other AWS customers.

One thing I was pitching internally when advocating for this platform is that when you have the scale to run it for the economics to make sense, you can reclaim some of AWS margins instead of having your cold tiny VMs subsidize other AWS customers higher perf. If you run the multi-tenant platform yourself, you can oversubscribe every app in a way that makes sense for your business and trade latency or throughput of software for $ on a per-container basis, so you can make much more granular and optimal decisions globally. VS having each team individually right-size their own app deployed on VMs and sharing CPU caches with randos.

I remember once at Netflix we investigated a weird latency issue on a random load balancer instance and got AWS involved: it turned out to be a noisy-neighbor on the underlying VM that gets chopped up into multiple customer-facing LB instances.
It is greed indeed. Visionaries lost once reality hits in. We're at the largest IT unemployment since the dot com bubble burst.

It's not that nobody cares, it's you're either rich and have influence, or you're a visionary like the rest of us.

I see all the coolest things get slapped behind a $50/m fee (or $ fee)

It's how it is, you hit it dead on.

We can try and fix it, but... all that's offered is running on hamster wheels. We lost. And we lost bad.

But, we can still create things and hope those things we create pave the foundation for things to be. That, that keeps us going.
So now, to sideload an app that the developer for some reason doesn’t want to be sideloaded, the app will have to be patched.
This makes the apk untrusted, as it loses its signing in the process.
Absolutely. They implemented this hardware remote attestation nonsense which lets them cryptographically prove that "your" phone is still under their control. Android ceased to be a free ecosystem the second this feature showed up. It's basically equivalent to a video games console now. Cryptography empowers whoever has the keys, and it's not us.

Apps "checking" whether they're running on "approved" hardware and software are the future. And it's only going to get worse from here. They should not even be able to know we're running custom software, much less be able to refuse to run because of it. And yet these corporations are doing just that.
So now, to sideload an app that the developer for some reason doesn’t want to be sideloaded, the app will have to be patched.

This makes the apk untrusted, as it won’t be signed by the original developer anymore.

Looks like a weakening of Android ecosystem security to me.
OP facilitated a bomb threat in the same way that the postman who delivered an IRA bomb did.

The complaint seems to be really about how the people who are hunting for the actual bad guys are so incompetent that they're hassling people running Tor exit nodes. The basic misunderstanding of technology is leading to unjust outcomes (whatever you think of the moral choices of people running Tor nodes; they are incapable of helping the inquiries so should not be subjected to these incompetent fumblings).

If the government thinks that Tor is a bad thing, and that running an exit node is immoral then we have a system in place to deal with that: pass a law making it illegal. Letting incompetent authorities hassle people who choose to do this perfectly legal activity is not the answer.

You're looking at it too narrowly. In fairness, I should have said "it's the recruiting process".

It's not the "interviewing" itself but it's the recruiting stage. If you're looking at fresh graduates you're already significantly skewing things. It's hard to blame companies for this, but a few of the bootcamps are cranking out nontraditional candidates and many companies still overlook them in hiring.

Remember that story from the other day about founding Valve and Gabe recruiting game modders to his team? Two of them were pizza delivery guys and thought they were being called on a prank.

To be honest though, I think we're all lying to ourselves. The job isn't about ability to code. We're not looking for people with those skills. Most companies hiring are looking for stable clock-punchers who will do things that make their manager look good.

The only hope for this is if the pace of hardware improvement slows down (for screen tech and semiconductor node).

Manufacturing a low-volume, open device isn't going to be cost-competitive without the hardware being a commodity.

I think we're getting closer to that point, though.
The near future

- 1 cheapest possible phone to begrudgingly bend-the-knee to banking and other crybaby apps.

- 1 decent phone for everything else.
The dimensions of these punishments have no reason other than pure intimidation. While I'm against the practice of releasing private data, years of prison without needing to even prove damage but only intention is absurd beyond all measure.
If it has my name on it, it likely belongs to me. The portion that clearly belongs to the company, are the role, the amount, and my initials (maybe an anonymying number would be better?)

They're welcome to do what they want with that, but once it includes the ability to make inferences about me as an individual, more than the company, it becomes my data. I likely have to choose to share it to meet the terms of the emploment contract, but that doesn't change the appropriate ownership.

Try and apply whatever rules you want to IP the company claims to own? Surely the exact details of some trade secret process also belongs to me and I can do whatever I want with it because I need to know it to fulfill the terms of that same contract right? I can sell it to a 3rd party just 'cause right?
The entire thing has been performative regulation.

Did asking honest businesses to restrict how they use cookies protect users from invasive tracking? Nope. Data brokers simply employed other methods or bent the "legitimate interest" exception.

Did all websites provide a single button to reject tracking, with equal prominence and proximity to the accept button? Years on this is still rare, despite being the rule.

Did data brokers find new ways to obtain the same data? Sure did and more.

Was the end result a disproportionate burden on users, including those not even in the EU, while not delivering the intended benefit. Sure is.

Do entire websites, particularly those in the USA, simply geo-block all EU countries. Yep.

Did European-based services and news websites switch to a "let us track you or pay now" model. Yes.

Did data brokers exploit the EU's inability to police the matter by incorporating dark patterns, artificial pauses, and obnoxiously long lists to stymmie user's attempts at refusing tracking? Yep.

Did bad actors ignore the regulations. Yep. Was the EU toothless to stop that? Also yes.

So what did happen?

Instead developers of web browsers incorporated anti-fingerprinting technologies to negate the problem, a part of browser development that continues to be an on-going arms race.

Text editors: I want my file content to either be what it was before I pressed "save", or what it was afterwards; I don't want my file to be mangled halfway through. (In other words, in this case I need consistency, but not necessarily durability.) How would you do that without fsync?

Databases: People generally don't like unrecoverable consistency errors just because their computer crashed during a write. Not generally possible with reordered writes.

Sometimes people also need durability on top of consistency, e.g. for everything where you want to make at most one request to some server; you can do that by e.g. writing "I did the thing" to a log file, fsync'ing it, and then making your request.
I'm pretty sure anyone finetuning Lllama now on a regular basis is using https://github.com/unslothai/unsloth so comparisons should be against that. The open source version is ~2x faster than default implementations. NVidia only, although the kernels are in Triton so might be portable.
> ...allow for installation on incompatible devices (and resulting bad reviews)...

I've had the opposite experience with my Retroid Pocket 3+ (think Nintendo Switch Lite, but running Android). A lot of apps/games that the Play Store marks as incompatible actually work fine when installed via the Aurora store. I try to always leave a review stating that the app actually works.
Yup, and if you don't need to run multiple apps at the same time that is a valid tradeoff if it buys you other things.
Yeah, I'm totally with you on this one. I think they make a stock from the carcasses of previous day's chickens. What Chang is claiming doesn't make sense.
There's also `git rebase --onto`, which effectively does the reverse - you tell git you've already rebased the part of this branch that overlapped with the "intermediate" branch, and it just needs to take care of the rest.
Yeah, this almost never happens in practice. It’s not even worth being concerned about.

Doing this intentionally would require an implausible level of abject stupidity on the part of the people doing it. Anyone in a position to do this intentionally also knows that it would in fact be counter-productive.

Copyright is often bound up with the moral rights of authors, one of which is final control of whether and how their work is exhibited, because the author's reputation is bound up with the exhibition of the work. This is more explicit in jurisdictions like European countries, where authors rights are more encoded into IP law.

In the USA, you have things like the first sale doctrine, which applies to things like books and audio recordings, but DOES NOT apply to software, especially not software that makes use of services provided by the author (as most mobile apps do). Do not expect, in general, to have a right to use a piece of software, especially a mobile app, in ways not explicitly authorized by the app's vendor. Yes, this also means video games as things you can play forever are going away. Get used to it.
Yup, a lot of things show when you use software that was first released from 1998. The first company I worked for that used catia has about 10 seats. A special sysadmin we hired that specialized in CAD admin wrote a special powershell script to set everything up. He was awesome and taught me how to write my own vba macros. I now work for a major automaker and they have these precompiled binaries that does everything for you. It’s kinda crazy to think you need a team of engineers to write and maintain an in house codebase just to make sure everything is installed correctly.
