OK, to be more accurate when I say "documentation" I really mean "widespread online messaging about Nix". At least everywhere I've looked, existing Nix users advocate for starting with flakes now on the basis that it will be the new normal soon.
I think this is core to the disconnect: Non Async/await does not imply blocking.
It's a shame he couldn't get a so-called Einstein visa like Trump's wife, reserved for immigrants with "extraordinary ability" and "sustained national and international acclaim".
I think in an encyclopedia, the distinction you make should in fact be blurred. If there is an article about West Bank settlers' poor health, say, I don't want to mix in politics and Palestine-Israel conflict. It is irrelevant who in the government champions settlements, or that they are widely considered illegal. If numbers come from biased sources, you mention that directly.

Referring to Gaza institutions in general as Hamas-lead is adding implicit context - it says "according to Hamas and it's questionable". An encyclopedia should use the latter language. Also it's not like every single thing coming out of Gaza is untrue, just because Hamas is there.

Just like it shouldn't say flat earthers are crazy, people who speed are assholes, or which color is the best.
The argument would be that the marketing done by the label(s) she has signed with is a big part of why she has 7.5M monthly Spotify listeners (and the related fame is why so many people will pay to see her feet).

Not sure if that's a good argument, maybe she would've grown just as popular w/o help from a label, but that's why artists sign.
They're referring to Ken Griffin / Citadel (Securities). Not that it makes their claims any less silly in terms of fundamentally misunderstanding how markets work.
The population of California is so large that even though nationally it is solidly Democratic, there are more Republicans in California than in smaller states that are seen as solidly Republican. This matters in the local and state government elections.

You're spending $16B to create $1T of real estate value.

That would pay for itself in two years at 1% R/E tax and <10% interest.

I didn't read the entire article, but the reason it won't happen at this scale is because you could never acquire the property rights to be able to do it, not because it's a bad investment.
Sounds like an amazing project. Hopefully some people will put their backs into improving documentation.

All joking aside, it's good to have initiatives like Hacktoberfest to get people involved in FLOSS. Bountysource was also neat in that regard, too bad the apple basket wound up rotten (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23551098). Would be neat if one of the alternatives managed to really take off.

Reminds me of one of the big open secrets of North America: northern Ontario and northwestern Quebec are fertile. There is a 250,000 sq. km clay belt that spans almost from Winnipeg to Ottawa. The growing season is short but sufficient for grains and beans and such.

It's the opposite problem. Drainage is poor and there is too much rain at the wrong time, so the land needs heavy drainage. Also it's miserably cold in winter, and it's far, far from the cities. The government tried settling it but most of them moved back south. Less than 5% of the area is under till or pasture today. The whole thing could be turned into a potato belt on the scale of the Prairies. If we could find anyone willing to live there. Truth is there are other places better suited.
There is a demo for the components in their pages.

You can update both of them, but Arch breaks then you have to figure out how to manually roll back the packages that broke it. If NixOS breaks, you reboot and select the previous generation and it's all reversed for you.
You might find it easier in primarily neurodivergent communities. In my experience, Mastodon has a lot of neurodivergent people - there are (at least) two servers especially for us, neurodifferent.me and autistics.life.

Also, don't use AI - it sounds wrong and bland. For me, I tend to adopt the writing style of what I've been reading recently (it's most notable when I pause what I'm writing and come back to it after reading something from the 1800s) so I might recommend reading it for a while to get your brain in that mode and then maybe posting, if you also do that.

Best of luck!

Most abandonware isn't really that cut and dry. During the NES/DOS days you might have seen companies fold and their IP become owned by no one. But even then, in many cases, the IP ended up being sold, and over the years ping-pongs around new owners.

Many times those new owners aren't really concerned with some 30 year old game from an IP they may not even remember having being distributed, but the fact they still could at a moment's notice is a possible threat.

But yeah, if there truly is no existing owner, it's basically free game (literally).
Freedom of speech is not freedom from consequence.

Obviously we shouldn't start riots, but if you make hate speech, there may be consequences accordingly.
Define "concentration camp".

If you mean "a place where many of a certain category of people are held", then yes, we did. If you mean "place where many of a certain category of people are held and killed", then no, we didn't.

Technically, the first definition is at least as correct as the second one. But colloquially, the second one is what many people understand.

You cannot compare the camps that German citizens were held in by the US to Dachau.
I think that you could probably put together a reasonable working definition of something like:

Substances which are artificially synthesized or heavily processed which are added to food. For the purpose of this definition, ingredients which have a long history of use such as salt, alcohol, fermented foods, smoking, etc. are excluded.

Of course the purpose of this definition is to serve as a generalization in order to facilitate discussion. I'm certain that there are exceptions where modern additives are probably fairly obviously harmless such as vitamin/mineral fortification. Likewise there are traditional ingredients that we now know can be harmful such as alcohol, excessive salt, smoke, etc.

No, I think they got exactly right

Company names are not a game of hack-a-mouse. You think you're being smart, you're just being another annoying Ackshually guy

They are names that should be useable across many systems and use cases.

Let's say the UK registry fixes their systems, but now you need to have your company name across other suppliers/vendors systems. Congrats, you played yourself
"Real" legitimate domestic political groups usually have the names of the people running them, with bios, etc. Who founded them, etc.

They try to make it easy to figure out who they are so you trust them.

When that information is missing it's extremely suspicious, and rightly so.
Rust is harder than C++. It is C+++.
Moral rights should be preserved indefinitely, yes.

Big IP holders make a large effort to mix both of those so they argue in bad faith that their profit advances human culture. Do not fall for it, they are very different things, and if somebody proposes extra protection for moral rights, only those big IP holders will be against it.
Depends where you live. E.g. in France there's a personal use exemption, in the US there mostly isn't.
Surely you acknowledge that "taking responsibility and trying to do better" means learning from our past mistakes and not repeating them? The project in the OP is motivated by vanity, not necessity.
Good question.

It's about unknown unknowns, right? But we could map out where those may be.

I guess chemical toxicity, drugs with long half-lives that affect soil organisms, and antibiotics that promote resistance.

(yeah yeah they are all chemicals.)

For the chemical toxicity, it's chemicals that are harmful to plants but allowed for human consumption, or chemicals in sufficient quantity to disrupt soil balance. Doesn't seem like a real concern?

With metabolic disruption to soil organisms, yes, there may be real danger there. That smells like previous environmental mistakes.

Antibiotics, yeah, some danger. Livestock is exposed, and resistance-conferring genes might jump directly to human pathogens.

It's worth studying. There are requirements for both sewage processing and fertilising soil, so the value of a solution would be high.
Could you please provide an example conversation?
If you've learned more than 500 things, why does the 501st need to be so much more special in order to be worth your time?
I don't think it's fair enough. Look for example at their quoted source: https://reproducible.nixos.org/nixos-iso-minimal-r13y/ -- the way nix works allows for a mechanism to (almost*) check the reproducibility of the system, and it can show how reproducible it is for a complete build (99%).

In contrast, other distros like Debian have to rely on fuzzing to estimate this percent. Quoting from the FAQ:

> We don't currently inject randomness at the filesystem layer, but many of the reproducibility issues are being exercised already. It isn't possible to guarantee a package is reproducible, just like it isn't possible to prove software is bug-free. It is possible there is nondeterminism in a package source, waiting for some specific circumstance.
Disco Elysium is more of a revival of the point and click adventure medium than it is an exploration of new territory, but art it undoubtedly is.

They pay 70% of revenue to rights holders. For an artist signed to a major label like Lily Allen, they'll get ~20% of that number after they've cleared their advance.

my family has been getting into this very seriously in the last few years. There are several very serious challenges to the adoption of regenerative farming.

1. most farmers are stubborn and OLD

2. most of the industrial equipment is not meant for regenerative practices meaning many farmers simply can't afford to switch technologies

3. regenerative farming takes time & there simply isn't enough expertise out there

4. agricultural land shrinks every year. EVERY year. new farms are harder and harder to start & we really cannot afford to dip our food supply

5. Economically, the government has a very strong interest in keeping food cheap. Hungry people have a tendency to overthrow governments. farming has extremely thin margins.

6. There is a lot of funding in the form of grants and programs to encourage growth, but it means most farmers need to become grant writers. Large scale farms now have professional grant writers, smaller farms where the regenerative practices might have the most impact are having a difficult time accessing these programs.

7. Carharts are fashionable and really expensive. My dad found my first carhart on the side of the road with treadmarks across it and I got made fun of for it. Give me back my carharts.

Here are some of the things that are really helping with these problems though:

1. most farmers are really stubborn and will push through problems because its just work

2. Agritourism is bringing in a lot of renewed interested in farming & money.

3. Food chain issues (looking at you boarshead & mcdonalds) is bring a renewed interest in buying local.

4. Regenerative farming simply makes better food. Seriously, I cannot eat grocery store pork or chicken. The meat looks and tastes different.

5. Ignoring no-till techniques, there are techniques that can be started at a low cost for small scale farms. Chicken tractors, rotational grazing, soil health programs, etc. My family has been doing chicken tractors for chickens and turkey for personal consumption. Its been pretty easy for 1-2 person to raise 1500+lbs of meat with only about an hour of work a day. The only labor intensive day is harvesting and we've really gotten it streamlined. Its also eliminated the need for fertilizing or aerating the area they are run in.

6. I've noticed its really bonding family farms together and bringing in younger farmers in with a sense of ownership and purpose

There’s a bunch of legal precedent - Zediva, Redd Horne, Aereo, Professional Real Estate Investors, etc.

I’m in the middle of writing to the EFF to see if they would clarify if this pertains to non-profit educational organizations employees/volunteers. E.g. if an organization of researchers are providing educational information about games, can they privately access the same physical copy remotely sitting in a drive somewhere. The rules from 2018 don’t appear to support this, unfortunately.

A lot of research is currently restricted by the inflated cost of long out of print games. Dozens or hundreds of people might want to contribute, but if a non-EULA encumbered, physical copy costs hundreds of dollars it becomes harder to find people who both have copies and the skills or desire to do work as well.
And if you spend any time critically reading them, you realize how many people are either exaggerating or not following the guidelines that exist.

Like this lady in the article. She did not follow dosing guidelines (which as you say are primitive at best at the moment) and tried to double her dose in half the time the guidelines and prescriptions state.

Since ozempic binds so strongly to the GLP receptor, this outcome is extremely common when moving up a dose. Especially earlier than indicated like she did.

These articles are almost all clickbait at this point. Very few illustrate someone carefully and intentionally using the drugs as intended in an informed manner. Moving up doses should be long considered, much less moving up early for what appears to be no reason at all against current medical advice. The social media posts are almost all even worse.

Otherwise, we'll still see companies make stuff and kill it and sit on it for decades. (Often binning fully-finished releases without ever letting it be sold ever -- see Discovery and Disney's recent releases)

Preservation should start the minute access is threatened, not some decades later when it's likely too late.

I did this same thing but via a google sheet, really fun either how excellent the wiki’s API is. The profit per hour shown here is abysmal - you’d make more money doing pretty much anything.

I’d like to see market-level and category-level analysis on price trends (ie all magic-combat gear is trending up, or this specific item has a lagging relationship with another).

If anyone is curious, prices may be out of date but here is my profitability spreadsheet, time inputs, etc for various things using the api. This is better than the wiki since it can take into account trade limits, compare unlisted methods, hourly upkeep costs, etc.

Calling a domain “haunted” is an awful, terrible way to frame it. It places all the badness of the domain on the domain itself, as if the domain name had something with it which could be removed or fixed by the domain owner. Instead, what has actually happened is that the domain is blacklisted by entirely too powerful entities. The problem lies with these blacklisting entities, not with the domain, and the solution must be done there, too. It should not be a domain owner’s responsibility to get out of being unfairly blacklisted.

It’s like when cars took over the streets, and instead of blaming cars for being dangerous for regular people using the streets for walking, the concept of “jaywalking” was invented by car companies to place the blame on people for daring to obstruct cars. Or the concept of “personal carbon footprint”, commonly used to move blame from companies to individuals, when in reality whatever individuals, even in aggregate, could do is utterly insignificant compared to what companies and legislation could accomplish.

> Smart franchises clean the machine in the morning or after closing each day so it “never runs out”.

And when they arrive in the morning to a failed cleaning run and an opaque error code they get to pick between first calling an expensive technician to spend just a few minutes with a tool only they have to read a more detailed error and change settings. Or they can cross their fingers and hope it's not a persistent issue. Either way it's another four hour checking cycle before it's ready.

Most of the complexity comes from the fact that all types are moveable by default. That is why I prefer this proposal to make it opt-in [1]. Working with pin really sucks the joy out of you and it won't be some sugar syntax (the current &pin mut proposal) that will help that. Rust is a fine language most of the time, but sometimes like the author you fall in rabbit holes.

I'm not missing your point. I just don't think you're making one.

You keep saying the same nonsense over and over again. A LLM does not know things so... What kind of argument is that ? You're working backwards from a conclusion that is nothing but your own erroneous convictions on what a "statistical model" is and are undertaking a whole lot of mental gymnastics to stay there.

There are a lot of papers there that all try to approach this in different ways. You should read them and try to make an honest argument and that doesn't involve "This doesn't count because - claim that is in no way empirically or theoretically validated."
