My friend and I were sick of the existing options having bad ui and slow responsiveness so we made this dashboard and our own VSCode extension to go with it.
As long as we pick one and don't switch im fine. It's the switching that's the problem for me.

"First (2014) they wanted agricultural resources, better sea access, etc. and they took Crimea."

No, they already had it de facto, just not de jure. But with the shift in power in Kiew they were afraid of loosing it.

it's faster to just fly there.

As some who used to travel for meetings quite a lot to a city 3 hours away by high speed rail, it really isn't. Once you take into account that you can show up for your train 5 mins before it leaves, plus the fact that the train station is almost always much closer to where you want to be, the difference in time between trains and planes pretty much disappears for shorter trips.

Plus the train is just so much nicer and more comfortable. It's quieter. Your seats are much bigger and have more legroom than even the nicest business class seats. You can get up and walk around if you want. You often have a restaurant car where you can sit and grab a drink or something to eat. Train travel is just so much more relaxing compared to flying.
because you want to access your library from multiple locations and have everything kept in sync.

ex: started watching a show on tv at home, left to take public transportation to work, continue watching on way to work on phone, continue watchin on phone on way home, continue watching on tv when get home.
I was going to say this, VATSIM is full of real pilots.
I rode Canada's VIA rail from Vancouver to Edmonton. Some poor Europeans sitting in the seat in front were freaking out when it became apparent the train was going be 10 hours late on what was billed as a 24 hour trip. They had a connecting flight to catch in Edmonton and missed it by several hours.
I would assume that given the extreme redshift this can be explained by the combination of acoustic oscillation overdensities and gravothermal catastrophe but there is probably some unmentioned reason why it can't.
Is it rare because it’s painful, or painful because it’s rare?
From the essay:

> Instead of good writers, ok writers, and people who can't write, there will just be good writers and people who can't write.

> writing is thinking. In fact there's a kind of thinking that can only be done by writing

> So a world divided into writes and write-nots is more dangerous than it sounds. It will be a world of thinks and think-nots. I know which half I want to be in, and I bet you do too.

PG states, clear as day, that he expects the world to be divided into people who can think (him) and people who can't (almost everyone else). When I say Paul Graham imagines only he can think, this is hyperbole. I'm sure there's a small group of people with views very similar to his to whom he would also attribute the ability of thought. I am commenting on the clear and undeniable pattern of PG writing that huge swathes of the population are incapable of thinking.

Others point out that no commonly used psychadelic is physically addictive. But also, the cost of prohibition dramatically outweighs the benefits. It creates pretenses for police corruption and militarization. It creates massive cartels in drugs, both criminal and "legal" (or at least low-liability for the cartel kingpins like the Sackler family), with perverse incentives all the way down. It destroys the trust between doctors and their patients by forcing doctors to serve as agents of the state when exercising the nonsensical authority to determine what substances adults can try for their ailments even with full informed consent. It destroys families and neighborhoods for "crimes" that amount to punishing self-harm with unconscionable cruelty - in effect kicking addicts while they're down. It also does not solve in any meaningful sense the problem of drug addiction. It's catastrophically bad policy that has no place in a free society
You and I both, and I actually have something to show up after!
First, it is not WW3 but Russian aggression on Ukraine.

Second, they had very clear reasons: Putin always considered Ukraine his property and when he realized he can lose it, he decided to use force. He elaborated on it in a longer piece[0] and in the Carlson show.

It likely was rather a ukrainian-polish joint venture.

And the opinion in germany is mixed about the incident, only very few believe it was Putin.

Did they go with summer time year round? Standard (winter) time makes it brighter in the morning at the same nominal hour. Summer (adjusted) time makes it darker.

One of the reasons I hate that the US extended summer time a couple decades ago. I’d kill to have year round standard time!

The alternative to "big tech" is not "open source". The alternative to big tech is a healthy "small and medium" tech economy, or at least a more sane distribution of market power.

Imagine if you had to compete producing widgets in a market landscape where some hyper-conglomerate would source and distribute all power, define and install all plug standards and, in addition, produce and rent any widgets that saw consumer traction. For decades this is what has come to pass as normal in this domain.

Openness (of varying degrees), standards-adherence, interoperability and competitive markets are connected attributes. In this context open source is an extreme productivity multiplier. Maybe the most potent such development in modern human history. Entities that adopt open source would collectively out-compete in innovation and usefulness any proprietary offering. But for this mechanism of sharing knowledge to thrive and reach its full potential there has to be a real market for digital technology.

I've spoken English as my native language for almost five decades and I've never seen/heard the word "shranked" before.

This surely cannot be correct. Even the title of the linked article doesn't use "shranked". What?
Interesting.

It's weird when this is described as surprising. I mean I'm glad that precise research is being done. But this topic has memes about it. We know. It's on the wiki https://romankogan.net/adhd/
Before the modern age, and perhaps for the vast majority even now, there is no such notion as supernatural. Magical thinking, superstition is not the exception, it is the norm. It requires conscious effort, training to diminish its effects, to introduce logic, facts into the thinking process.

Propaganda would be much less effective if people were able to think rationally.

"But let's not pretend they're good guys then."

I did not.

"> The russian soldiers also largely don't think they represent evil, they think they defend russia

Let's suppose this is true (I'm not convinced, in practice most of them are fighting because they don't have choice, so what they think doesn't matter that much anyway"

And are you aware, allmost no russian conscripts are involved in fighting?

It is a voluntarily army. Econonic reasons do play a role, especially for people from asian backwater provinces - but all in all they do fight, because they choose to.

So back to the main story - it is not just evil overlord Putin, that is the problem.
I want to bring my own experience from a code base I briefly worked on, I worked on a module of code where basically all the unit tests assertions were commented out. This was about ten years ago. The meta is there should still be someone responsible for the code an LLM generated and there should still be at least one more person who does a decent code review at some point. Otherwise, the unit tests being there is useless just like the example I gave on top with the assertions removed.
> Companies like Google have many millions of lines of code in proprietary in house code. But they depend on an even larger amount of code in OSS form.

I don't think this is actually true:

1. The Google codebase is on the order of billions of lines of code, not millions.

2. It's basically all written in house, from the threading libraries and core standard libraries up. The parts that are open source (e.g. Linux, OpenJDK) are very small compared to the code they've written themselves.

ChromeOS and Android are open source, but they aren't even close to being the bulk of their codebase.

If Linux had never existed they'd have found some alternative, probably either a bulk licensing deal with a proprietary UNIX vendor or they'd have used Windows as the closest cheap Intel based alternative. Then they'd have put funding into developing their own in-house serving OS a lot earlier.

Source: I worked there.

> Chrome is open source because webkit was open source because Apple forked KHTML from the KDE project.

Chrome is open source for strategic reasons and because the executives in charge wanted it to be. There's no particular reason it has to be open. Safari and Edge aren't.
The article mentions hypervisors used by Samsung and Huawei Android phones which enforce read-only access to certain memory regions of the Linux kernel. Exists such a hypervisor as FOSS project?

If it’s via an NSA app I have to download, then hell no.

If they provide dumb file storage, so I can write my own script to compress and encrypt stuff before uploading via a standard protocol, then maybe? Other backup services are available, as they say, but they’d either be paid or (probably) sketchier.
The owner of the company I work for sold it to the big corp. Colleagues remember the times under the owner with a great sadness. He helped everybody in trouble and was super generous. The owner had same revenue with half of the employees of now. There is definitively a way of combining profitability and caring for human beings.
You've missed both points:

- the 5% point you're responding to doesn't refer to the original "Every major browser"

- the original reponse just highlights that there is no non-pedantic difference between "most browsers" and "Every major browser", so that was the start of the anti-pedantism battle
The paper uses the term "adaptive evolution", so using the words interchangeably seems almost encouraged, definitely understandable.
The with respect to Amtrak, shorter line trains on the east coast and CA capital corridor these trains are commuter trains and often have more ownership/priority on the rails so they are more frequent and punctual. If you took metro north, it’s a pretty extensive commuter line as well.
Wait until you find out how quickly you can board and exit a train at a station that’s right in the center of the city, versus traveling to an airport, going through security, waiting to board, and then waiting some more for the plane to hopefully get its take-off slot from air control.

You can get from London to Paris by train in less time than it takes to go from Manhattan to boarding a plane at JFK.

Mine was over 12 hours late, as a passenger had to be airlifted off because of cardiac issues. Said passenger had been told not to fly, because of altitude issues, and hadn´t thought through the "mile high" aspect of transiting through Denver.

It is one of the most amazing train trips in the world, and tbh the article doesn´t really do it justice. The day the train spends slowly going up and down the rockies, are just incredible, the scenery is amazing, and you get to know other passengers and the conductors along the way. Had some great card games in the scenery car.

The connection that takes 20min longer has two additional stops (the fast connection is a direct one) but it is still served by TGV or ICE trains, like the direct connection.

The distance between Paris and Strasbourg is >400km, so even the "slow" connection has an average speed of ~200 km/h. The actual regional train connection (TER) takes nearly 5 hours with plenty of stops in between. Slightly faster non-regional but non-TGV connections only exist on lines that are not served by TGVs.
It looks fine, but I have yet to see any examples scaled up to an outdoor scene where you can see for miles(I don't even know if this is possible?).

Also the article this post links says this is diffuse only.. kinda not so impressive as specular is also very important.

I assume this means they are using a diffuse model that is view direction independent so Lambert.. which is a rather crummy diffuse model.. the better diffuse models are view dependent..
In Europe daylight saving started, depending on country I suppose, during WWI and then again after the 1973 oil crisis. This was to save energy and it has been saving a lot of energy although apparently changes in technology and habits mean that savings are decreasing.

It's that time year so plenty of articles on the topic. For example, read one saying that official stats in France show that daylight saving saved 440GWh in 2009.

So certainly not absurd.

With the climate crisis, net zero, EVs, etc it seems like a bad time to abolish it if it indeed does save significant amounts of energy.

I think k8s can be managed by one person too, if you are only using it like docker swarm. Especially if you use something like k3s with SQL database.

I found setting up gitops via flux quite easy, apart from order of operations, like installing controllers and custom resource definitions before resources that need those CRDs etc.

What were you thinking of things to take into account for k8s over swarm?

The main difference for me is k8s needs a hell of a lot more boilerplate yaml for doing basically anything.
