How to Overcome GitHub’s Single-Topic Limitation ?

The GitHub Actions Marketplace allows users to filter by one topic, but what if you need actions that fit multiple categories, like Monitoring and Continuous Integration? GitHub’s search doesn’t support multi-topic filtering, slowing down your workflow.

By using Google Dorks, you can bypass this limitation and search for GitHub Actions that meet multiple topics simultaneously. Here’s a sample query:

site:github.com/marketplace/actions “<category1>” “<category2”
If anything, I'd argue that the "abysmal state of GNU/Linux" is because programs now tend to bundle their own dependencies, and not the opposite.
What ratio of what dentists generally recommend is based on evidence?

The translation of research into practice assumes that clinically relevant evidence is available. Unfortunately, in light of the billions of dollars invested in dental research during the last five decades in Europe and the US, the dental research community has paid relatively little attention to clinical aspects of care. Consequently, and contrary to the situation in medicine, there are relatively few randomized controlled trials and other outcomes oriented studies in dentistry that have evaluated clinically relevant interventions. For example, there are no clinical trials that have compared the outcomes of different methods of caries diagnosis using relevant outcome measures. Also, no outcome studies are available for disease-based management of dental caries, periodontal diseases, or facial pain.

The burning question in the news last week was this: should you bother flossing? The answer for decades has been "of course." And it's likely you've heard something similar from your dentist. I know I have. But, while the importance of flossing may have been widely accepted, the evidence supporting it turns out to be surprisingly thin.

Is "support your blog post with a link or two to studies" such an onerous request?

As far as I can see, the article is somewhat about whether we can trust open source software, given political tensions, language barriers, and malicious actors.

To that, the article suggests a central authority with global membership to create trust. If the W3C is representative of that, then regulatory capture is a real possibility, or balkanisation if there is disagreement.

Trust in balkanised orgs is of course a problem, and hence trust in the code - the paper deals with a similar issue ie. How to trust code. In this case though, the idea is to be able to verify the code yourself, rather than trust an org.

The paper centres on whether you can trust the compiler ie. The bootstrap problem, and while tech alone will never solve the issue, the capability to create trust in the code yourself can be a basis for better layered trust on top.

To add to this, signed builds/source on their own are not a solution as a compiler or malicious actor can inject bad code.

As such, yes I don't believe a central, or federated orgs alone can be a solution, you're likely to need a solid bootstrap and chain of trust (and maybe content-addressed code) to underpin the quality of the code.
I tend to iterate and limit the output by eg saying “make the smallest change possible, don’t rewrite the file, tell me what you want to do first” etc. It seems to respond well to change requests, with much apology. ChatGPT berates me about its own code and keeps saving shit I don’t want in memory, so I have to go back and clean up stuff like "Is testing Lambda functions directly in the AWS web console" and "Is working with testing and integration test fixtures in their software projects" when those are 2 of 100 things I'm doing. I'm using SAM for lambda, I might have run one in the console to bypass the API and now it's saved it as gospel. Half the benefit with LLM's is that they forget context when you start a new chat, so you can control what it focuses on.
Ah, excellent point! They wouldn't ignore one hazard because another is less severe. And you are correct, I wasn't considering hazards to the launch tower itself. I think you are absolutely right, either would cause a flight to be scrubbed. I wonder if the two wind limits would be different.

I had a major heart scare when I was 39 so I’m quite obsessed with my blood pressure. This is anecdata based off of my own experience with my heart, brain and body.

(Note that this is based off of someone capable of developing a heart problem in his late thirties so hopefully none of this will apply.)

Before I started running for fun, running up to a doctor’s office would absolutely spike my blood pressure. That was a combination of anxiety (which is/was an issue), cardiovascular health and basic physical reactions to exertion. Since I started running for fun, that relationship has completely changed. I don’t get the anxiety based blood pressure changes because I find running really fun and rewarding.

When I lift weights, my blood pressure will read a little higher for at least 24 hours after. The heavier I lift, the more my blood pressure will lift. I see a similar relationship with volume, but it’s not as linear as weight. So if I have to do fifty total reps to failure my blood pressure will be higher, but not as high as if I had done ten total reps to failure.

Food and alcohol have tremendous impacts. Cannabis has an impact but nowhere near the impact of either food or alcohol. Armed only with blood pressure data, I could make a good case for fast food and beer to be illegal. My case wouldn’t be as strong for cannabis. Caffeine is really fucking weird - it increases blood pressure up to the point of addiction. Then, not feeding the addiction will spike my blood pressure even more.

And I haven’t even begun to talk about how heavily my brain is involved. I dealt with undiagnosed ADHD through developing some very obsessive habits. As a consequence, I can quite literally obsess my way back to blood pressure medication.

Judging by how much personal data I have on my blood pressure, I’m sure you’re very surprised that I tend to be obsessive. :)

So anecdotally, you are 100% correct. But I can add some more anecdotes to hopefully ease your mind. When I got out of the hospital, I had to promise my cardiologist three perfect readings a day; meaning that I would religiously check my blood pressure at the same three times each day. Needless to say, I checked it way more than that. But there is an awareness that different levels of need require different levels of scrutiny.

The only part I still wonder is if my cardiologist knew that giving an obsessive person metrics would lead me into running. This may have just been a way to get me back into shape.

Sort of feels like we wasted a long time having our best and brightest figuring out how to optimize advertising algorithms. I think we're finally starting to recover from that phase.
So smaller EV batteries and less range and lower price. That seems ok to me. It's possible that advances in batteries will reduce battery weight, so replacing all the guardrails right away may not make sense. Difficult to predict battery future though. Maybe EV's need a cage at the front so the front end doesn't collapse so easily without an engine there?

Is there a way of getting the points back?
I really doubt a X11 Flatpak from today will run in Fedora from 10 years time, much less 20 years time. They will break XWayland (in the name of "security") much before that. They will break D-Bus much before that.

In addition, the kernel breaks ABI all the time; sometimes this is partially workarounded thanks to dynamic linking (e.g. OSS and solutions like aoss). Other times not so much.

I feel that everytime someone introduces a "future proof" solution for 20 years they should make the effort to run 20 year old binaries on their Linux system of today and extrapolate from it.
Safety claims of novel, unproven fission designs always come with a crazy footnote. Pebble bed reactors are completely safe, if they are never exposed to water or oxygen, which is a pretty hilarious caveat for planet Earth.
While we now live in an era of abundant rocket launches, it used to cost far more to launch with very few launches per year.

The whole strategies of exploration haven’t shifted yet to this new paradigm. Hopefully NASA starts making smaller probes and launching them far more often.
> * Less chance of newer hardware not being supported on Linux (it still happens though)

This is one area I think Linux is really bad on compared to Windows. AMD makes a new graphics card, it pushes out a driver update for Windows and it's all golden.

On Linux? They have to spend months getting it into the kernel release cycle, then wait on distributions to test that update, trickle it down to users and if you're on some kind of LTS distribution you might as well not bother.
Great. The only thing missing is the infinite scrolling that surreptitiously loads another article to keep you reading, thinking you're still with the original article.
It strikes me that Linux seems to have basically reinvented DLL Hell.
Somewhat yes, but compilers can inject vulnerabilities, and you also require composable code to avoid composition vulnerability.
As a just-in-time bordering on chronically late individual (typical engineer), sprinting on foot or bicycle to the doctor’s office has led to some unusually high reading.
I acknowledge your choice. With a lot of discussion recently, and some first hand-experience, I realized there could be a way to make free work. Might need experimentation, but should be possible.
It tells you about the difficulty of creating humanoid robots. Humans are extremely dexterous and agile creatures and it is an extremely challenging engineering task to produce humanoid robots.
Yes, but think about having a mobile that has native integration with APRS or can make voice/packet radio or even DMR. It would be perfect for hiking or adventures.
Even better with LORA.

Probably the main issue is RF compatibility.
Using shared libraries is optimizing for a very different set of constraints than nixos, which iirc keeps like 90 versions of the same thing around just so everyone can have the one they want. There are still people who are space constrained. (I haven't touched nix in years so maybe i'm off base on this)

> The compiler does it well enough now that we don't have to

You know I see people say this and then I see some code with some nested loops running 2x as fast as code written with list comprehensions and I remember that it's actually.

"The compiler does it well enough now that we don't have to as long as you understand the way the compiler works at a low enough level that you don't use patterns that will trip it up and even then you should still be benchmarking your perf because black magic doesn't always work the way you think it works"

Struct packing too can still lead to speedups/space gains if you were previously badly aligned, which is absolutely something that can happen if you leave everything on auto.
The link to the actual paper [1] seems to be overloaded.

Late 70s, early 80s in Europe we'd take the train for 1200 km (about 750 miles). First my parents and grandparents would drive their cars onto the train, then we'd go inside a cabin. There were 1st class and 2nd class cars/cabins. Then for dinner we'd go eat in the restaurant car.

This wasn't a luxury thing that said: we had a Lada (btw shittiest car brand ever and the Lada Niva, the 4x4, is the shittiest, scariest, piece of turd of a 4x4 ever made: this thing will flip over at 12 mph in S-turn no question asked and if you think Lada made good cars you know jack shit about cars). OK, ok, now I digress: maybe it's because my parents had a Lada and it was an utter piece of junk that I now drive a high-end luxury car: surely a seven years long psychoanalysis would figure that one out.

So yup, loading the Lada on the train and eating in the restaurant car.

The people doing the same around that time were typical middle class (and I don't dispute TFA saying that before that it used to be the height of luxury).
This would take my $200 and just be another distraction of me trying to get $200 worth of value out of it.

I have a “Back in…” analog clock sign on my door. It was a dollar.
OK I tracked down that claim to Michael Cembalest of JP Morgan, in a 2012 article

Although there are problems with the analysis that are mentioned in both articles:

A major caveat: If you looked at the chart in any depth, you probably noticed a big problem with it. The time periods between data points aren't equal -- in fact they are not close at all

---

So, one way to read the graph, very broadly speaking, is that everything to the left of 1800 is an approximation of population distribution around the world and everything to the right of 1800 is a demonstration of productivity divergences around the world

But the analysis for China is equally flimsy, so I edited my comment to say "China and India" and "likely"

---

TBH now that I see this data, I think both claims are a little flimsy. I was more referring to Dalio's analysis, which covers the last 500 years only, and probably got a few claims mixed up.

For some reason Dalio does not include India much in his analysis -- it is mostly focused on China, the Netherlands, Great Britain, and the USA. That could be his bias, or perhaps a definitional issue with what counts as "India" (and similarly what counts as "China"), which is a difficult question over 500-1000 year time frames
If you personally are a direct descendant of Abraham, or any other specific individual who lived approximately 3000 years ago, statistically you do not carry any DNA from that ancestor. While there are some nuances relating to differences in how the different sexes pass on their genes, as a rough approximation you carry half the base pairs of each of your parents, who each carry roughly half from their parents, and so on. So you carry 1/2^n base pairs from an individual n generations before you. The human genome is 3 billion base pairs, meaning in 31 generations the odds of having a single base pair from a specific ancestor is about 50%. 3000 years is about 120 generations, so your odds of having a basepair from a specific ancestor that far back are about 1 in 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000. The only exceptions that matter on that timescale are the y-chromosome along the male-only line descent and the mitochondrial DNA along the female-only line of descent.
I've never seen a nurse not insist on the right position.

However I've always wondered how much of a difference my long torso makes when my blood pressure is measured. I'm 6'3", and it's mostly torso. The result is that a table that is the right height for most people, is low for me. And adjusting the table to match my body is something that I've seen a lot of variation on.

Yeah I've only ever had to use my bottom bracket tool twice in 20 years of cycling, wasn't so hard to do (moving from a cracked frame to a new one once, and replacing a bottom bracket that had gone in a bmx) - but I doubt most people would try to diy it - it just so happened that I had the tool in my 'every tool you might ever need' kit from China.
Today, I spent time finalizing the search API call. I added several models to enable searching by comments, tags, and organization. Additionally, I added base logic to display the search result. Tomorrow, I am planing to complete the UI for this screen.
My wife and I live in a Wardway kit home from 1929. It's a Hampden, with upgrades (original enclosed sunroom, extra closets, nicer trimmings). https://everydayoldhouse.com/american-foursquare-kit-homes-w...

The vast majority of homes in our city built between 1900-1940 are kit homes. This is likely true for any residential (non-urban) of that era. If you pay attention today you'll see that even spec houses are built off a standard set of plans from just a few sources. So even where timber and custom builders were more available they probably ended up building off a subset of common plans for the region based on weather and customer preferences. Someday after all the land developers are gone on to the next iteration, we'll have the same revelry about spec houses.
How about the part where Shared Objects take a performance penalty due to being position-independent code?
Oh there's more than one of us! I also have a stationary bike under my standing desk. It's a cheap recumbent. It's not amazing in terms of ergonomics, so I use it for about 20-30 mins at a time, a few times a day. I used to walk on a treadmill but I found that my head moved enough that focusing on text could be quite annoying. Also, I'd rather get my steps outside.

My head still moves on the bike, but it's much less. Also, this way I can just raise my desk and slide the bike under, whereas with the treadmill I was unplugging and going to another room which was less convenient. I have a TV dinner tray thing with a secondary wireless keyboard and trackball that sits just above my knees so I can work while I pedal.

And yes it's great for warming up and staying warm all day!
I've been on the actual Orient-Express (which was a modern Euronightlines train) before it was withdrawn. I travelled on my InterRail pass. It has nothing in common with the luxury train service branding itself Orient Express.

Yes, you have to manually set it up with javascript, or use a lib/framework that solves it for you automatically.

Too much hassle when all you need is style scoping
It wasn't all sunshine and roses back then. When the Reconquista was completed, one of the first thing Spain did was expel all the Jews. Jews could in theory convert to Christianity instead, but then they became the prime targets of the Spanish Inquisition.

We should be careful not mindlessly apply our modern ideas of Islam and Christianity to a completely different time period.
Good to know. I'm pretty locked into VSCode, but appreciate the info.

I just read the links you gave about the port and I wanted to say I'm just sorry for both you and Stefan Nagtegaal. What a gut punch to not even get to release your work in the way you intended before it was taken. Ugh.
I was also fed up with inaccurate readings, and was trying to prototype a medical device that would have an adjustable cuff based on arm size. I ran it by my concierge doc, but apparently the latest tech is to use light waves to measure BP, similar to how wearables are doing pulse OX and Heart Rate. The technique is known as Photoplethysmography (PPG).
> there is a market

OP is not trying to find a market.
So 35 years then to store the power generated 24/7 by McGuire at that rate of production which ignores that the huge spike of AI loads will want 24/7 power, if we're looking at that kind of load I'd rate it at 50% for starters (low to be honest because it doesn't account for how solar ramps up during the day) which is around 60 years. Plus that's giving full capacity to those batteries when ideally we'd only use the middle 60% to avoid deep cycling the batteries daily unless they've completely solved that problem.
Yes and they weren't "Frenchmen".
Thanks for this! I didn't really use BASIC much back in the day, but I am from - ahem - an older time...and the name seemed so familiar, but quite couldn't place my finger on it. so, thanks for clarifying this! :-)

For things in Earth orbit (LEO all the way up to GEO) we do have some fairly worked out buses that can keep commercial missions done on budget within the fairly well developed parameters of commercial up to GEO. Have, honestly, since the 1980's. Multiple companies from multiple countries have demonstrated this, there is a competitive market for commsats and earth observing satellites (the only two markets where business cases really close). If you are doing science from LEO you can probably re-use a lot of components from those markets.

For exploration missions and anything in deep space (basically, beyond Lunar Orbit) people have kicked around ideas for common buses, there have been plenty of proposals, but no one seems to have enough value in them to be the third or fourth user of one- everyone has found it better to start from scratch than use someone else's bus design. It is possible if there was a sustained, focused effort at one kind of project, say, something where Mars orbiter launches were guaranteed every 26 months for more than a decade, that the investment in a common bus might pay off. But as long as we are bouncing between Mars, Jupiter, Pluto/KBO's, E-S L2, and inside Mercury's orbit, it just isn't actually reusable.

Just as one point, until the past few years everything in the outer planets had to be RTG powered, which requires a totally different design than something solar. It was only with Juno (and now the Europa Clipper) that solar has been demonstrated for outer planets at all, and it is still not exactly a design you'd have off the shelf, nor would the power design you'd want for outer planets solar be at all similar to the design you'd want for inner planets solar. The same is true for comms, for thermal management, for rad-hardening, etc.
My parents were skeptical of video games, but bought me a NES for Christmas in 1986 (or maybe it was '87?) after much begging. My memory is fuzzy about a lot of things in life (even much more recent things), but I still fondly remember spending time with friends in the neighborhood, going to each others' houses, and playing Nintendo. Through luck or nearly-unnoticeable parental restrictions, we never became addicted, and still spent plenty of time outside playing in yards, riding our bikes, and exploring the woods.

These days I game occasionally, but fill most of my time with other things.

I think complete bans on most things as a kid isn't the way to go, and can be harmful, even. Granted, today's social media makes me rethink that...
I can't deduce "implied" when the comments are very, very explicit against solar and wind, not a single word about gas. But somehow I have to read between the lines that they actually meant to criticise fossils.
You're responding to a different end of the scale. Lots of shops are doing nothing, and that is not the right answer either. You can evaluate the data that exists and do a better job than they are doing.

This is true, and in principle a good thing, but in the time since Parquet and ORC were created GDPR and CCPA are things that have come to exist. Any format we build in that space, today, needs to support in-place record-level deletion.
