This is awesome. Thanks. I knew about some of the other archive domains but never used them because I thought they were only useful for evading paywalls. But I tried this out on one of the cancerous news sites and it works exactly how I imagined. Too Cool

That's why you got to have an app. People install more apps than ever before, it's completely normal.

Well, sure, because they're both con men.
Magic Trackpad 2 and (Mac) Magic Keyboards appear as USB HID devices when connected to a computer via Lightning-to-USB (-A or -C) cable.

One annoyance is that macOS automatically Bluetooth pairs with these devices when connected via USB, overwriting any existing pairing, but this shouldn't matter for purely wired scenarios.

For switching Bluetooth devices more generally, observe that most Bluetooth controllers are USB devices; with a bit of effort — mostly just copy/pasting the device pairing keys across all connected hosts — they can be switched just like any other USB peripheral (YMMV with "intelligent" USB KVM switches that virtualize USB HID device connections).

IME the connection delay is a couple seconds longer than switching wired USB HID devices directly, but entirely reasonable for typical KVM use cases.

Note here that "most Bluetooth controllers are USB devices" even extends to internal Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combo cards, which are commonly M.2 key A or E (= PCIe + USB 2.0 + …), or M.2 key A or E preinstalled on a mostly passive PCIe adapter, with a separate cable connection to a USB port or motherboard USB header used exclusively for Bluetooth.

This turns out to be a surprisingly useful implementation detail: on one of my work desktops, I'm currently virtual USB-switching the Bluetooth controller on an Intel BE200 PCIe card between a Linux host and a Windows VM running on that host, while keeping Wi-Fi connected to the host.

I have a matching hot key set up in each OS to attach/detach the Bluetooth controller from the VM and simultaneously DDC switch the monitor input between the host (iGPU) and guest (PCIe dGPU passthrough), and it works great.

Coincidentally, the Bluetooth devices I'm using in this configuration are a Magic Trackpad 2, a Magic Keyboard, and a Magic Mouse (the mouse was the motivation for using Bluetooth over USB in the first place, as, unlike the other Apple input devices, it's physically impossible to use when connected via USB).
I tried "write me a 5-page EULA for a [$YOURKINDOFBUSINESS] website" on ChatGPT and it looked great.

Do you want this EULA to do anything in particular for you? You could hire an attorney to write one, where they'll use a similar (or in any likelihood inferior) tool, and bill you $5k, and be just as happy to charge you $300/hr. to back it up, as they would to charge you $300/hr. to back up someone else's EULA.

There are some really smart lawyers out there. But most of the ones you'll find aren't adding any value over ChatGPT, they're just really good at sounding like they're one of the few smart lawyers out there.
You need a "product", not hourly billing. Defined outcome and a price per engagement, rather than charging for your time.
The application you mention does not rely on the gas being co2 at all. The gas is being used because it is in a high pressure reservoir. It could by any gas. The C02 itself is literally free because it is literally in the atmosphere all around us.
We do have that but there is strong bias towards not trusting journalism. Everything in the US is capital based and no one wants to pay for journalism. So journalism relies on ad-tactics to get eyeballs looking at their stuff.

This in turn causes low trust because if one type of article is manipulative then the other types must be right?

If people weren’t so anti-capitalism then the journalism would have incentive to be less manipulative across the board.

Furthermore the politicians want manipulative journalism, there is no incentive on either side to do the right thing. If there was we wouldn’t have the political candidates we do today.

Instead we invest in the weakness because be uneducated means you don’t actually have to understand just vote emotionally.
I wish I could do that but I have little kids. But we have generous PTO that expires at the end of the year, so everyone takes off lots of time in December... even by December 1 things are getting quiet.

Yes but this is not relevant in context of climate change. It does not matter that we can bury some CO2 while more of it is added to atmosphere.
I know, it seemed to me like a pretty arbitrary policy as well, but what can you do other than turning limitations into opportunities? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
You're overcomplicating it.

> The channel was created by Australian-born American media mogul Rupert Murdoch in 1996 to appeal to a conservative audience, hiring former Republican media consultant and CNBC executive Roger Ailes as its founding CEO.

Fox news was founded to support a specific worldview. People "want" neutral reporting. What they "pay" for is to be outraged (pay with their attention).
Nice idea, but it seems that for some countries the longest possible time off has a big overlap with school holidays, which makes sense. However travelling during school breaks is more expensive, it would be nice to find a way to optimize time off while trying to avoid school holidays.

Can you make some examples of war where fighting itself was the primary goal?

It's possible that we're seeing one now in Ukraine. The Russian army isn't exactly made up of economic elites, being composed largely of men from outlying territories who are either a possible long-term threat to Putin's vision of Soviet-era revanchism or impoverished people who are literally more trouble to feed than they're worth. From Putin's point of view, a meat grinder may be just what the (mad) doctor ordered.

Certainly that dovetails with Kim's motivation to send his own hungry soldiers to the Ukraine front. Now that he has nukes, what does he need such a large army for? Like the ragtag derelicts and criminal elements who make up the Russian armed forces, those troops are more of a liability to Kim than an asset.

See also concerns about China's surplus of young men who will never find mates thanks to the effects of the regime's one-child policy. A literal incel army. It's not hard to imagine that Beijing might find a war to be a convenient way to rebalance the population and remove a potential source of agitation.
Whatever term you want to use, at least at one point my understanding was that Grubhub didn't actually handle the deliveries.

I have no idea if this remains true and I'm not suggesting this is why Grubhub failed; I'm asking.
Vertical error for GPS is about 2X to 3X more than horizontal error[1], so the barometer helps correct that.

If you can read Lisp (Scheme) syntax, I think SICP [0] has the clearest demonstration of the utility of lazy streams. The problem it presents (calculating pi) is, admittedly, rather academic; but the concept of having values that evolve over "time" as first-class entities that you can abstract over is practically useful. I think that all of reactive programming (React, Angular, etc) is closely related to this idea (perhaps even originates from it), although the implementation and applications differ.

It's a long and effortful read, but the payoff is worth the effort.

EDIT: I think the Perl article posted in a sibling comment uses essentially the same example (but for calculating e instead of pi), although I only skimmed it.
Government IDs are not a solved problem, and you don't seem to have even tried to consider the issues involved. The key distinction between voting and cold medicine is that you have a right to vote, but not to buy cold medicine. So if you lost your ID, or it's expired, it is not an option to just say "that sucks, I guess you can't vote now".

In fact, as a rule, ID is reserved for things that aren't important, because it is a point of failure.
I’m pretty sure Judges consider whether such terms are within certain bounds of reason… they can be expected to annul terms such as ‘the customer has to offer their first born son as a sacrifice’ or ‘the customer has to pay a billion dollars in compensation’, etc...
People sometimes combine two fields of study to create something novel and intriguing. However, such combinations often fall short, failing to satisfy the standards of either field.

Unfortunately, the typical art audience rarely appreciates the elegance of mathematical theorems, especially when they deal with something as complex as, say, the Riemann hypothesis. Similarly, scientists often struggle to understand the appeal of performance art, where an artist might, for instance, stare at an apple for an hour.

It is one thing that there is not enough audience for a niche thing, but the lack of criticism is even worse in my opinion.

I'm probably being a bit too harsh here, and I'm probably just jealous, but it's something that keeps frustrating me. "Circuit-bending" [1] was a particular annoying crossover of art and electronics that still makes me shudder. Using the golden ratio for no good reason is also up there.

The answer is to find like-minded parents and form schools with their kids. This is hard to do, but it is the only real answer.
> why doesn't everyone choose a Toyota?

Because Honda also exists. I kid, I kid..

A lot of Americans buy American cars simply because they're loyal to American brands, or European cars because they want their neighbors to be jealous of their ability to buy such overpriced transportation. I think software is low on the list.
First, yes, data is extraordinarily valuable. No doubt.

While it may be commonly accepted by most, I don't want my personal computer crawling with telemetry. I despise the idea.

The harm is, in my opinion, partly in creep, where just a little more, here and there, leads to a festering, unchecked data brothel. And regarding 'harm' as a necessary parameter for maintaining privacy, dignity, etc; it would cause absolutely no harm to me if I was watched every time I used the bathroom, provided responsible handling of the acquired video. But I don't want this and would object to any effort otherwise. I don't think harm is the only factor.
Food delivery is for people with disposable income or who just don't think about where they are spending money. Disposable income has been in short supply for a lot of people lately.

I have never once ordered from GrubHub, Doordash, or UberEats. Even during COVID. I don't understand paying a premium to receive cold, soggy food an hour or two later. In that time I can prepare an actually good meal with better ingredients, eat it while it's still hot, and clean up. For probably half the cost.

Exactly what we need, Congress doing easy work.

How about looking at hard issues and do real work, instead of items that have no benefit to people.

Here are a few for the US I can think of:

1. Fix Health Care where every citizen can afford it.

2. Fix Social Security without cutting benefits. We paid into it for our whole work career and the only fix that is suggested is cut Social Security.

3. Make internet access affordable. I know many people who dropped service because they can no longer afford paying Comcast. Also, Comcast is the only option available where I am.

I would think Arch is close enough to Manjaro that it wouldn't be too tricky to migrate. You would probably get most of the way there by simply copying home and etc and then reinstalling the all of the installed packages.
If the wrong people are in charge, all you can do is take rational actions that protect yourself from suboptimal outcomes (as women are doing). Democracy and governance have a lot of shortfalls, as the evidence shows.

This can be implemented on server side and with read requests only.

Oh it’s definitely a one way street. I realized all the talk coming out of the Trump camp isn’t really about the other side but about themselves. A common repeated phrase is “the other side doesn’t listen to me” which really means “I don’t listen to the other side”.
Wow, and that's "only" 1.5 megaton, not even that large by the standards of modern arsenals. Absolutely terrifying.
It can never be as practical as leaving it in the fuel it came from. This is a waste of time, and only deepens the pit of climate catastrophe.
Similar experience. I’m in my 30s and many peers in the same age group (add a standard deviation in each direction, but skew to the left) “don’t know how to cook” and door dash daily, sometimes dessert is a separate order made later. When I mention that it sounds wildly expensive it doesn’t even register. There’s a pretty large gap in the assumed baseline between people who don’t use these services and people who rely on them.
The news stand price or subscription price for a newspaper wasn't a big chunk of the publisher's revenue even back in the 20th century. The big money maker was ads. Papers had a regional monopoly or oligopoly over a certain advertising channel. They could make excellent margins on classified ads when they charged people to list a used truck for sale, a duplex for rent, or an open job position that needed an employee.

They also made good (if not quite so excellent) margins on ads interspersed in the main body of the paper for department stores, auto dealerships, restaurants, and most other kinds of local/regional businesses.

On top of that, people didn't just buy the paper to get investigative journalism. They were also buying low cost content like the funny pages, movie reviews, weather forecasts, and sports scores. Even with limited competition for advertising, few newspapers in the 20th century could have turned a profit while filling their pages with nothing but investigative journalism. In-depth reporting is too expensive to make up the bulk of a paper.

Investigative journalism was a kind of expensive spice that gave zest to the rest of the lower-cost content. Newspaper owners took pride in it and tried to steadily produce it but there was no way to fill daily issues with nothing but investigation.

Craigslist killed the margins for classified ads. A million sources killed the newspaper's allure for delivering weather forecasts, sports scores, and other low cost information. Keyword and geo-targeted advertising on major digital platforms added fierce competition for print display ads.

The main thing people miss from the newspaper is investigative journalism. But investigative journalism, unbundled from cheap filler and high margin advertising, can't be delivered at prices most people are willing to pay. There are a few maybe-outliers like the New York Times and Los Angeles times that survive on a reputation for depth and a national audience. But the days of every mid-sized American city having a local newspaper or two with investigative reporters on staff has passed, unless someone can come up with a new business model.
The Science of Squirrel Parkour
I think planned is far to strong a word. I think that instead, it is simply a byproduct of the cultural adoption of hedonism (which places happiness above other human goals) and consumerism (Which places material acquisition as the primary means to achieve ones goals).

Hedonism and consumerism are pushed by a broad by swath of interests, from industry to government, so there is no need for a grand conspiracy.
What makes you think the “thousands of companies” should have the legal right to our data?
Good job those aren't the only two options!
Where do you work, exactly?

This isn't the behavior I've witnessed with the younger generation, at all, unless they came from money or working in a well to do job.

I don't think we can extrapolate this one.
Huh. Weird. It's showing them as options if you click in (sometimes cheaper than the headline option) but if they're the only option under the price point it doesn't seem to show them (set it to Stansted to see).

EDIT: Ah, I found the problem (I suspect this is a bug in Google's flight thing). They had carry-on bags set to 1. If you set it to 0 it shows flights (mostly Ryanair) to almost everywhere in Europe. It may be getting tripped up by Ryanair's wonky treatment of carry-on bags (you can add 'priority boarding', which gets you a carry-on, as an extra fairly cheaply, but if you want it as a headline feature it comes bundled with a bunch of other stuff).

Even with this option off, though, it's still not showing easyJet.
I think it’s - “Write catchy headlines and get more page-views” now.
Not once does the article mention "electricity" or "power". They talk about "price per million tokens" but nowhere does the cost of electricity come into the equation. But I guess VCs don't care about that as long as the profits keep rolling in.

These are great points, and probably worth their own blog post to answer.

> First of all, why is this a concern? Idle threads have basically no impact on a system, so this generally isn't a concern

Idle threads have very low impact on CPU utilization, probably, if the application is well-behaved (and I expect most databases and caching layers to be well-behaved in this way). The application itself, however, will need memory and the way containers are built prevents the usual de-deplication of system libraries.

> but generally it won't even make the list of top-100 performance bottlenecks for most applications

True, but it makes the short list of "how much stuff can I run on a $100 computer", and it's one of the relatively few concerns an application operator has when they are not the application developer.

> Even if you wanted to enforce your applications sharing a postgres instance under the hood, why would you want that to be black-magic performed by the container orchestrator?

To make self-hosting much simpler. If the container orchestrator doesn't do it, what do you think should do it?

> Other stuff like DB backups just don't seem like issues docker compose users have. If you need to orchestrate across multiple nodes in order to meet your SLOs, then don't use docker compose.

The DB backups are meant for disaster recovery rather than supporting multiple nodes. I guess that's multiple nodes through time... But, yeah, I agree, docker-compose is not a good fit.

> Finally, it seems like the actual solution is significantly under-discussed. I both have tons of questions about how it's supposed to work, and I see lots of shortcomings with the parts that I do understand.

Yeah, agreed, I'll be writing other things to discuss what I think the correct solution should be. I'm curious to find out if other people have existing solutions to the problems I outlined. If it's a solved problem and I just don't know about it, that'd be better.

> I'd be interested to read an article which tried to articulate why such an opinionated API would improve SDLC-considerations over docker-compose, but I don't think that's the article I just read.

It is not, and you're right, it needs discussion.
Half offtopic note, but maybe you want to know: uBlock origin seems to have a beef with your site - by default it applies enough filters that only a brown background remains.
They have a weird priority in google and that’s their value.

Unless you know where to look you will not find your local restaurants website via google. You will be redirected to grubhub or equivalent by many dark patterns on your way to the direct website.

Try it yourself. Google ‘Thai spice’ (there’s a several thousand independent Thai restaurants by this name so it’s a good example). Scroll down past the door dash promoted adverts and such till you get a result for the actual nearest restaurant by this name. Usually under a ‘places’ section.

Click ‘order’. See that this is just a redirect for door dash, grubhub etc that add a markup to the restaurant direct ordering system.

In fact try to go to the actual website. Click the name of the restaurant in the places section after a google search. On mobile you now have a new google presented summary page with a prominent order online button which is again just a redirect to grubhub/doordash/etc. On a computer it’s slightly better. You can see a website button to order directly under the places section but it’s still second rated prominence compared to the prominence of the above services. On Mobile the pattern is dark as night.

Basically that’s the revenue source. It’s a link that’s overly prominent in google that ultimately simply orders via the restaurants website with a markup. It’s free money.

People will always have a reason to order online. Restaurants themselves bear the brunt of inflation more than anyone but essentially stealing a direct link to the restaurant, capturing all those online orders and added a markup is very easy and low risk money.
The simple answer is that Japanese software isn’t crap. It’s good in a ton of places that matter but might be invisible to consumers. Also in places that are visible: We play tons of video games developed in Japan, Nintendo might be the very best game studio on Earth. LINE was way ahead of its time too, it was a very innovative chat app that was synergistic with cell phone hardware in many ways that mattered like payments security, but maybe there isn’t enough space for chat apps to differentiate themselves and their success is driven by chance.

To me, one reason is that in some markets inside Japan, people do not yet pay for software. For example hardly anyone in Japan pays for Spotify subscriptions. However they do spend in gacha games. So it’s not as black and white as, tangible versus intangible goods. There’s no broad strokes generalization about a cultural difference that is persuasive to me. The article talks about stuff that is basically ancient history or industrial policy, which is also interesting but unpersuasive. I bring up the Amazon logistics software as an example of the possibility that even stoic hardware companies are software companies, and people like Zojirushi, so then it is sequiter to say, we’ll actually Zojirushi is good at software. So really we mean “bad at making globally important social media apps” which is a totally different thing than “bad at software.”

I bought a new BenQ 4k monitor a few years ago. It was faulty. I RMAd it, they send me a refurbished but even more faulty monitor.
And this happens 3 times.
Then I said wtf is this, I bought a new monitor I expect a new monitor as replacement.
They (BenQ in NL) sent me a more professional model with kvm switch embedded, still had some syncing issues but ok whatever.

Should I ever buy another monitor it won't be BenQ.
