If you are from the United States its interesting to trace back your ancestry and last name to a specific person/persons from another country.

There are tons of websites for different last names in the United States, showing history of the name. Many times the last name be traced back to a singular person, which I find especially cool since you have sprawling families all connected by one guy who made the journey over. Obviously last names like Smith won't be like this, but if you have a unique last name it can actually be quite common that one person coming to the new world connects you and everybody else in the Americas together. I find that super cool to think about and I am glad people are doing the effort to research and find this info out.
Data binning is a commonly used data processing technique that typically divides continuous numerical or temporal data into multiple intervals (which are mostly adjacent and non-overlapping). This method not only covers the entire data range but also provides clear demarcation for data points within each interval. By performing data binning, we can analyze, visualize, and statistically process complex datasets more effectively. This article will explore how to use the advanced APIs provided by Swift Charts to achieve precise and efficient data binning.
> put symlinks all over the filesystem for all kinds of units. It is less understandable and manageable.

It is actually way better understandable and manageable: /usr/lib/systemd is for distro-supplied and packaged units. /etc/systemd is for your local overrides, /run/systemd is for units created at runtime by various generators. (Then there are $XDG_(RUNTIME|CONFIG)_DIR/systemd for user units, for consistency).

So no more diffing config files at update time: the distro provided ones are always updated, your overrides are always preserved, cleanly.

> - binary log files. everything has to go through systemd to access them.

So send them to external syslog, that saves them as you wish. There is a point in indexing them (and being able to have a newline in the log message).

- responsibility creep

This is a matter of perspective. If you take it as "init system at boot", then yes, it might looks so. If you take as an service manager that runs/stops/reloads/monitors units, based on different events (startup, dbus activation, socket activation, timer, etc): what's the difference in the bulk of action, except for the event that caused that action? The service handling, unit definition, etc. are all the same, just the initiation event is different. In this light, it doesn't take over functions; it consolidates and unifies them.

Unlike dnsmasq or busybox, it is not in cut-down fashion, but exactly opposite. It replaces rag-tag of tools with one with more complete and tested implementation.

> terrorism is primarily violence targeted at civilians, while legitimate acts of war targets military personnel

States targeting civilians are a war crime. Not terrorism. The hijacking of Flight 77 was still terrorism despite targeting the Pentagon.

> the pagers are targeted at non-civilian personnel, but has some civilian casualties

That is war. That is collateral damage. Marking every military action with civilian casualties terrorism simply normalises terrorism as a legitimate war tactic.

I want to note that you are not wrong. There are many definitions of terrorism [1]. I’m just pushing back on this usage because it looks like the first step to normalising terrorism as something every power that has ever gone to war has done.

I have to strongly disagree on the last one. Systemd is pretty much a canonical (pun intended) example of a solution in search of a problem.

Systemd as PID1 is nice on merits. I wouldn't want to get back to sysv initscripts.

Everything else is incredibly hostile to practical unix philosophy and solely exists out of spite and politics. This is my opinion and I realize I'm in the minority.
That's correct. Deliberately restructuring your activities beyond common sense in order to reduce taxes even further, however, is legally evading them, by the normal definition of the English word "evade".

If you are running a business and someone points out you can reduce taxes by registering a corporation, that's normal - most businesses are some type of corporation.

If someone points out you can reduce taxes even further by registering an Irish subsidiary and sending them license fees, that's abnormal, and now you're using trickery to avoid taxes. UNLESS your business really does do R&D in Ireland at an arms-length subsidiary which charges license fees. In that case, the legal structure mirrors what is actually happening, so it's fine!

Trend is towards more inference compute (o1), so the post training costs will increase as they will scale that too.
Overall I agree. However, the difficulty that I see is when someone attacks a, sometimes nominally, military target in a situation or method where it will unreasonably injure or kill civilians. Or even when the military target is mostly an excuse to target civilians.

I think it can also get less clear when the target is an enemy's infrastructure, industry, or political infrastructure.
When managing a database, speed and efficiency are crucial. As applications handle more data and become more complex, the performance of database queries plays a big role in keeping everything running smoothly. One of the best ways to make queries faster is by using indexes. Similar to a book’s index that helps you quickly find a topic, database indexes allow you to find specific data without searching through the entire database. This article explains the basics of indexing, how it improves query performance, and some simple tips for using indexes effectively. Whether your database is small or large, understanding how to use indexes can help keep your application fast and responsive.

I also have a rare genetic disorder (alpha-1 antitrypsin disorder) and discovered it using 23andMe. I am in the process of working with a pulmonologist to manage the disease, and if they had not screened me for it, I would have written off my symptoms as “just bad asthma.” Currently there is no health product that 23andMe sells that is appealing to me, but if there were, I would gladly pay. I hope they can stick it out because their DNA screening is a valuable service.

That would take care of the memory issue. It would need a way to tell the kernel to not send wm_* messages about it and a way to give the kernel a buffer to hold that data. However, you still have the overhead of processing the 'events' though or keeping up with the buffer.

It occurs to me that it may be possible to disable the wm messages. There is probably a callback hook location. Set that to 0 and it would probably not send anything. But that is just a guess and I would have to dig around in the docs to see if it is there. This indicates it is possible https://stackoverflow.com/questions/57008742/how-to-discard-...

I'm not sure how comparable o1 is in total usage. Remember that people will either adjust the prompt or continue the conversation as needed. If o1 spends more time on the answer, but responds in fewer steps, it may be a net positive on energy use. Also it may skip the planning and self-reflection steps in agent usage completely. It's going to be hard to estimate the real change in usage.

> it's interesting to know specifically which ones, out of "a bunch of other health conditions", can get exacerbated by work stress to the point of killing you

Too many variables affect this, including lifestyle, working hours, working conditions, etc. It's easy to control for them at large, but not combat one of them specifically.

For me, it's ulcers, caused by lack of a strict eating schedule and growing acidity levels due to not eating properly. Although in incidentally, during my PE days, what could've killed me was not that, but massive depression from a lack of socialization and not having someone to talk to.

For some folks I knew, it was a lifestyle of smoking and/or poor dietary habits, which led to a heart attack and an early death. For another, it was a heart attack too, caused by drinking too much energy drinks to stay awake. For still another, it was due to taking controlled medication on a slightly higher dose that landed them in the ER.

And then there's the story of that guy behind the "Impossible is Nothing" meme who suffered from massive depression after his video resume was leaked and made viral across Wall Street banks. Ended up dying from a medication overdose, although it's also alleged that it was an intentional suicide.

It's easy to figure out the warning signs early on - they stand out extremely obvious to anyone with a couple of braincells. The point is that most places, especially many Indian companies (although all of my examples were in London and NY), glorify this culture of excessive slaving for some mediocre return.

Is the target the relevant piece or is it actual impact? If you have a single military target who is known to use X brand phone, is it war to kill 5,000 people to get this one target? Is it not instilling terror on the people who use those devices?

It is this rationalization that enables powers to bomb civilians and ethnic groups under the guise of targeting military targets who stand no chance if they segregate themselves from the populace due to the power dynamics. And then the cycle only continues as each side adds fuel to the fire.
