Obsessing over POSIX purity is a pointless endeavor. It should stay in its corner, but is largely a waste of time outside of corner cases. Do not mix the two and understand the differences, but remaining locked inside a cage you make for yourself is a pointless show. The real world has bash everywhere that matters.

PS: Be good, or I'll replace you with a very small zsh script. ;) Interestingly, it possible to dynamically add additional native commands to both zsh and bash in other languages. LuaBash and bash-loadables are examples.

Systemd Looking at a Future with More Varlink and Less D-Bus for IPC
Very helpful answer. This answer means a lot to me. Thanks
There's a about:config setting called dom.event.contextmenu.enabled defaulting to true, when you change to false you don't need to hold shift, it will always open the browser context menu (and in most cases still do the page behavior of showing the web app context menu or whatever, you can then press esc to close the browser's menu but it may also close the page menu depending on how they implemented it).

Then there's a second option called dom.event.contextmenu.shift_suppresses_event which defaults to true and does what you said: Simple right click opens the page menu and shift + right click don't send the page the event at all and instead opens the browser's menu.
The problem with those packages that are "all inclusive" is that you end up depending on a very large number of third party packages, even if your use case probably doesn't require it

If this model of "theft of service" is legally enforceable, then significant swaths of this industry are engaging in false advertising and possibly full-on fraud by not making this agreement they're entering into clear to customers prior to their purchase of the device

From an ethical perspective, you will never convince me to feel bad about any "theft" of this kind, and this kind of dilution of concepts like "theft" and "crime" is likely responsible for the emotional valence of those terms reading a lot less significantly negative to people
A Climate Solution to Heating and Cooling Buildings
It sounds like their point is that there's precedent for things in early stages only being provided as source, with binary releases coming later when things are more stable
Yes, this is abusive as your compensation doesn't grow with your time working. Your salary is based on an x hour work week. This system incentives poor software quality at the cost of your and your colleagues' time. My role and those of my direct colleagues is also salaried similarly with expectation of some overtime without additional comp, but that should be a rare hour or two.
I do know of/work with other companies that have similar terms around on-call as yours.
My employer does only 1 day at a time per engineer with a repeating 4 week schedule but we also have a support call center taking care of the majority of calls and only escalating to on call when necessary.
It does happen in prod. Usually due to virtual FSes that rely on get_next_ino: https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/7/13/1078
It's true that Gentoo has some pieces of what they need to build an implementation of option 1 (build packages that depend on other packages before completeing an install), but it's currently the case that that is not what happens when one runs `emerge` (the gentoo packaging build/installing tool), as you've noted one would need to write scripts that wrap emerge (or do the same work manually) to attempt to accomplish this today.

I suspect that using bind mounts and overlays (to allow the "building packages" chroot a view of the "installed" root) could be used to accomplish this, or alternately some filesystem snapshotting features if we're thinking about this from the "external to emerge" angle. (It's my understanding that for Gentoo to do this ABI change, though, they need some solution integrated into emerge).

To some extent, this kind of potential model also reminds me of systems that integrate their package updating with filesystem snapshotting to allow rollbacks and actually-atomic upgrades of many files. I think one or more of the solaris distributions did this?

That building is made of steel with a stone and mortar facade. Facade is not structural. You can tell what side of the building absorbed the blast because that side is missing and likely melted. Structural stone is carved out of large slabs. It's much more expensive pound for pound and non-renewable, but will be equal to large timbers for structural purposes.

Could ACR be used against its creators by creating a tool to detect and automatically block-out advertisements? (e.g. via an HDMI pass-through) There should be enough tell-tale signals (text, sound, number of scene changes, etc.) to distinguish advertisements from non-ad content.

Mom Spots Something in Math Homework Given to 8-Year-Old Daughter
The C library uses macros so that the referenced symbols are different depending on ABI (e.g. open becomes open64, etc.), but most 3rd party libraries don't bother with that, so they break if their API uses time_t/off_t.
I'll give it a look since it does not seem to require any kind of cloud registration. Both devices android and windows just need to be on the same network. I was looking into an app doing that ! Thanks.
Science, at it's core, is figuring out how to make better TVs and phones with longer battery life. Truth-seeking should be done during your lunch break. If you have one.
Yes, there's clearly hurdles on the path but I think they're well worth figuring out how to clear.

There's multiple reasons why but one that stands out in my mind is the sheer difference in trajectories between a species that embraces spacefaring and comes to live on multiple worlds compared to a species that remains confined to its point of origin. In the long term, the former of those two will eventually fan out to other star systems and explore countless more modes of existence, structuring of societies, ways of expression, avenues of science, etc than the latter can ever hope to. Staying put stymies potential to an extent that's difficult to even comprehend.

Out of work and unwell: the worrying rise of young people on benefits
Sometime back, I had a rapsberry pi connected to wired network of a coworking space. I remember using autossh to keep a tunnel open with one of my VPS. Mainly used it as a torrent box. I added magnet links through qbittorrent webui installed on raspberry pi. Qbittorrent was configured to only run at night time to not cause issues for business work. Downloaded all sort of things easily reaching thousands of GBs throughout my time there. They never found out. Or they didn't care to look. Good times.

> It got me wondering if it was actually possible to make Python’s async event loop work with multiple threads.

There is built-in support for this. Take a look at loop.run_in_executor. You can await something scheduled in a separate Thread/ProcessPoolExecutor.

Granted, this is different than making the async library end-to-end multi-threaded as you seem to be trying to do, but it does seem worth mentioning in this context. You _can_ have async and multiple threads at the same time!
They're not just regular screens. They're highly hardened, redundant, specialized displays, it's a whole industry.

There are companies that make displays that have clear conductors over the screen so they can heat them so they can be used and maintain function even when on the deck of an aircraft carrier in the arctic.

There are companies that still make CRTs for specific military purposes.

These screens are safer, more reliable, and durable than the mechanical systems they replace.
Basic flight instruments almost always have a backup. In case of F-35 there's a small square screen in centre console which shows attitude indicator and flight parameters. Needless to say, if main screens are out you are turning around and looking for the nearest airport.

How to test CORS on the command line with curl
Just taken a look at my Adguard Home query log for my TV, it seems to try and make hundreds of requests to "logs.netflix.com" for some reason - I'm not a subscriber to Netflix, I've never opened the Netflix app, I just turned on the TV and it's sitting on a HDMI source that's turned off so it isn't even doing anything

...and yet it keeps trying to connect to "logs.netflix.com" for reasons I do not understand. Granted, it could be just crappy retry logic, but still, why ping this endpoint when I'm not even using netflix!

This article had me going a different direction. What is up with the 60 year olds in Norway? Not snark, the spike there seems way more radical than any of the purported divides between benefits towards younger people in 2012 vs 2023 in any country. Do you just get a pension at 60 in Norway?

Most neuroscience papers of the type Masliah published are the result of at least 2 person-years of hands-on work (and up to 10 or 15 person-years for large papers).

800 papers over 25 years would therefore need a minimum staff of 64 full time researchers for the entirety of those 25 years. Masliah didn't have this.

For most papers on which Masliah is an author, the majority of the work will have been performed in other labs, with Masliah and those under him contributing to a greater or lesser extent. Such collaborative work is not a bad thing (assuming everyone is honest).

Web.archive has a shot of his now-deleted lab page:

If anybody needs a practical launching point to study distributed systems maybe I can help.

I have a browser/Node.js application that I worked on for several years that is a browser based peer-to-peer file system sharing tool. The application is massive in size, but its easy to tinker with, the build takes about 8 seconds, and the test automation is decent enough for anybody interested to get started. The idea is to invert the transmission model of the web from anonymous connections towards a server instead to trusted connections between owned computers and even restricted connections to different users (and their various devices) all in real time using sockets and streams and a tiered distribution model. https://github.com/prettydiff/share-file-systems

I am currently working on a web server application that allows spinning up many different web servers quickly and a monitoring dashboard that shows the various servers, their connected sockets, port management, and various other things. This all started with the idea that you can proxy and redirect anything super efficiently where a proxy in Node.js is as simple as:

proxy.pipe(socket);socket.pipe(proxy);

Counterpoint; we are in a downwards-facing economy with war on our doorstep at eastern and western fronts. Companies have less money to spend on virtue signalling, governments are less discriminate about the results they want, and individuals have higher priorities than expressing uniqueness online. "Woke" is a byproduct of the entire political spectrum being steeped in it's own head-up-ass echo chambers, leading to QAnon and queer marketing strategy respectively.

America is pretty much guaranteed to return to a woke status-quo if we're sold enough luxury goods and convince ourselves that everything is fine again. Wokeness is the masturbatory pattern of self-assurance that both the left and right rely on to convince themselves they have absolute control over an irreconcilably apolitical reality.

> many professions have license requirements, unions, professional bodies, etc to enforce this scarcity on the behalf on their members. After all a scarce career in most economies is one not just of wealth but higher social standing.

Well, that's good for them, but bad for humanity in general.

If we had a choice between a system where doctors get high salary and lot of social status, or a system where everyone can get perfect health by using a cheap device, and someone would choose the former, it would make perfect sense to me to call such person evil. The financial needs of doctors should not outweigh the health needs of humanity.

On a smarter planet we would have a nice system to compensate people for losing their privilege, so that they won't oppose progress. For example, every doctor would get a generous unconditional basic income for the rest of their life, and then they would be all replaced by cheap devices that would give us perfect health. Everyone would benefit, no reason to complain.
