I did something (slightly) similar via proot, called Bag [1], which I must have not described as a docker alternative: It has nothing to do with cgroups, and the cli deviates from that of docker's.

The backstory: To bypass internet censorship and deep packet inspection, I had written a proxy chain solution masquerading itself as plain html traffic. I needed it constantly running everywhere I went, but I didn't want to port it to a native android app. I wanted to run it through termux and at the time termux had no jdk/jre. Proot could spawn a archlinux env and there indeed was a jdk available.

The arch env within termux turned out to be generally more suitable for all tasks. Creating and destroying ephemeral envs with different setups and prooting into them to just run a single command is easily automated with a script; I named it bag.sh, a drastically smaller form of a shipping container.

Funny bag.sh also has a roadmap/todo in there untouched for 5 years! It's written on mobile screen hence mostly formatted to 40 columns lines to fit on the display without scrolling.

> that proposes any effort that makes it harder to farm is an attempt at subjugating the people

Well, it is. More expensive food means a worse quality of life for normal people. It also means more time spent working to pay for groceries, and less time and money to do things that threaten the elites like accumulating capital or performing activism.
I don’t believe that agriculture only started then. It’s just the earliest evidence we have. Everything always gets pushed earlier

If you created a custom NonZero type, how would the Rust compiler figure out how to optimize that?

How would one communicate properties/traits of a custom type (like a non-zero unit) that a compiler can leverage to optimize (in general, for any programming language)?

This is one of the reasons why I'm curious about Alan Kay's STEPS project, which attempted to build an entire desktop environment in just 20,000 lines of code via the use of bespoke domain-specific languages (https://tinlizzie.org/VPRIPapers/tr2012001_steps.pdf). Building feature-rich software applications using conventional technologies is very labor-intensive, but one of the things I'm curious about is whether the combination of DSLs to define subsystems and the promotion of component-based software (a la Apple's OpenDoc strategy from the mid-1990s before Steve Jobs' return; see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFJdjk2rq4E for a very 1990s video) could reduce the cost of writing software that meets modern expectations regarding functionality.
Where else would you like them to plant trees? Tearing up residential areas to convert to forest would be massively expensive and likely unpopular.
> England had to ration their food. I did a quick look for famines in WW2, and Germany, Belgium and France are not mentioned as having similar experiences[1].

Huh? England had more food than Europe under Nazi occupation.

Though crucially, the Brits kept their food under rationing for long after the war had ended, and the rationing actually got worse. They were on a major socialist bender.

(France perhaps kept their food culture better, because even though officially they had rationing for quite some time after the war too, people didn't actually follow the rules in France, at least not as much as in Britain. So the 'black' market alleviated the worst of the effects of rationing.)
Common Lisp does assertions right: you can let `assert' provide a restart which allows the user to fix a problem when it crops up. For example:

(assert (< index (length some-vector))
(index)
"Can't change the element at index ~D, index must be smaller than ~D."
index
(length some-vector))

That will print a message when the index is too large and give you the option of providing another index.

I agree with your point about interop on the level of file formats. We are talking decades of undocumented cruft at this point in the Office file formats - the MS implementations are so complex in a random and haphazard way that it's questionable whether they could ever be fully reverse engineered.

Running Office on Linux, on the other hand: I think the issue here is simply a lack of vision. Getting to where we are with Proton and Linux gaming today required Gabe Newell as an exceptionally gutsy and ambitious lunatic billionaire to just say, ok, we could spend what it takes and go the last mile here, and it happened. I'm quite certain that a similarly dedicated effort (actually a much smaller one) could get Office running perfectly on Linux, and that would be a huge win for anyone who was ambitious enough to try and claw the lucrative enterprise desktop market away from Microsoft. There's just no one out there yet who's been wealthy and crazy enough to go for this one.

The average person thinks all kinds of stuff is impossible when it's not, another great example is how everyone thought Gabe Weinberg had no chance of competing with Google, fast forward to today and DuckDuckGo makes $100M/yr and is probably going to benefit immensely when the govt's anti-trust remedies against Google kick in, no matter what they end up being. The world is Gabe's oyster and he's just a guy who had balls bigger than everyone else's, found a good angle and stuck with it.
Indeed. A few years ago I ran across a comparison of old photographs of rural villages (early 20th century) in central Europe vs their present day appearance, taken from similar points of view.

Two things were immediately apparent from the old photographs
- less forest
- tons of fruit trees

Fitting is also this anecdote I heard when visiting a historical mill. They had a huge linden tree in their yard, and they told us that in the olden days this was a symbol of prosperity, because the original owner showed off that they could afford to plant a useless, non-fruit-bearing - a status symbol.

Coming full circle - the best thing would be if we could plant tons of trees that also produce food - something like the baobabs https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adansonia_digitata . E.g. pigs were fed oak's acorns in fall.
I don't think the mechanics of being able to convey a niche are stable/developer-accessible, but NonZero is a type provided by the standard library: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/num/struct.NonZero.html

An example of the niche optimisations is in that link; if a 32bit number is NonZero, you can put that in an Option, and your Option<NonZero<u32>> will be the same size as a normal u32.

Using Next.js for self hosting is a really bad idea in my opinion (and experience). Despite of what they say (for obvious marketing reasons) their framework is optimized and developed to run on their platform later.

One of the problems people don’t seem to realize, is that when you use it on your own server you are still “paying” for the trade offs they made. Like you will run into artificial limitations that should not be there at all, except because those limitations only help keeping the door open so that you can move into their platform. If they removed those limitations then moving into their platform would be a lot more difficult and obviously they don’t want that.

Do you want proof of that?

https://github.com/vercel/next.js/discussions/46722

Check that whole conversation. It’s now closed with some bullshit because they don’t like people realizing this.

So… if you are using Vercel, then great. Next is your best option for their platform. But using Next outside of vercel is a terrible idea. There are far better options for that.

I thought embedding large chunks would "dilute" the ideas, since large chunks tend to have multiple disparate ideas?

Does it somehow capture _all_ of the ideas, and querying for a single one would somehow match?

Isn't that the point of breaking down into sentences?

Someone mentioned adding context -- but doesn't it calculate embedding on the whole thing?

"And the more peaceful times in Europe isn't because of democracy it's because of US hegemony"

Is it?

The US is very lightly present on the continent, as it has significantly would down its forces since the end of the Cold War. Its influence on most European affairs is mostly soft power than hard power.

If Italy and Austria wanted to duke it out over who owns South Tirol, the putative US hegemony would not prevent them from doing so, much like it didn't prevent the almost full decade of regional wars in the wake of the disintegration of Yugoslavia.

The Danish agricultural industry accounts for 1% of GDP and almost 70% of land use, the highest in the world. The Wikipedia page on Denmark doesn't even bother to list it as a major industry (unlike Lego) and the only figures I could find put it at around 8B DKK. Lego does 66B DKK on its own.

Superiors love to solve their problem first, its as simple as that. Not in a bad way but they are dealing with 10 times issues compare to your own level issues. Manager > Team Lead > IC so start there. Dont just complaint about superior, try to deal with it from problem solving approach.
> I don't think a manager will be impressed by a report saying

It's funny because it could go exactly the two opposite ways. If you "report the problem", you might be - totally as punishment - volunteered into the position to work on it, in addition to your normal workload. If you "report the problem and volunteer to do something about it", you might be shot down. Hilarious, right?

That's back to the fundamental problem: you need to work on building an understanding of your manager. You have the workload assigned to you, then you have everything you need to do to further your own career.

This title of my article doesn't make much sense to me. Why would you get fired for giving feedback? Is this just a US thing? I give feedback to my superiors all the time, and expect my subordinates to do the same. In fact, as far as my team goes, you're more likely to get into trouble (not fired) if you rarely give feedback.

> DOCX is a proprietary format. Perfect support is categorically impossible. A best-effort attempt is the best we'll ever get, and IME LibreOffice tries a lot harder than other office suites do.

Nah - well you’re correct that DOCX is under-defined - but the real the problem with LibreOffice is that it has 40 years of history supporting the wrong file format. Its internals are all built on models that later became ODF and any attempt to bolt-on the incompatible MS Office models is doomed to failure.

On the AUV front, as well as multibeam from the Hugin, seafloor imagery has been mapped with an AUV named Rán.

Underwater Gliders have also been deployed under or near the ice sheet to do similar:

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S096706451...

The "AUV under ice" thing is a fascinating challenge to me. You have to rely a lot on different and novel navigation techniques (like terrain aided/bathymetric navigation and acoustic beacons). And you have to work out how to get your very very expensive robot not stuck under an ice sheet, when its default failsafe is to become positively buoyant, and its primary method of communication (satellite comms) requires a clear view of the sky :-)

The results of the work are.... sobering? Worrying? But I'm glad we're doing them.
Sure, news agencies aren't a way to guarrantee truth. That has always been a problem.

But social networks have increased that problem by an order of magnitude. And we're seeing the results - the rise of dictatorships all around the world, that use the lie spreading capability of social networks.
Yep, that's what I was meaning.
I think remix is a lot better. But the problem is that the team behind it (same as react router) have spent the last 10 years changing their mind every Tuesday and rewriting everything and breaking every API, it’s a cat and mouse game of chasing their latest idea all the time.

Btw, remix itself is deprecated. There you go.

What would I use? For sure I’d go with a MUCH saner and stable approach: inertia.js as the glue between React and a real full stack batteries included framework such as Adonis, Laravel or Rails.
Nitrogen emissions from farming are a big topic in the Netherlands. We have a right wing populist governments that wants to raise maximum speeds back to 130km/h but they can't because of nitrogen emissions that caused the previous government (also right leaning, pro car, etc.) to lower the limits. Intense cattle farming is a big environmental challenge in both countries and it comes at a price. Lots of farting cows in both countries.
Just having farmland be fields is not very good for the land or the eco system. Breaking up farmland with hedges, woods, wetlands or whatever nature decides it should be is often a good idea. Next best thing is to manually plant trees.

Edit: add planting trees

I feel that no one can compete with Skia in terms of feature-richness. But performance, it'll really depend on the environment, hardware, and what you are doing.

Unity's UI Toolkit, for example, is mesh and shader-based, so it can be highly performant for complex UIs.

Interesting note: If you use OneJS with the NodeJS backend, you can use the wasm version of Skia and render all kinds of cool stuff onto a texture in Unity. Obviously the performance with that is not ideal for animation. But I was able to quickly and easily render music notations and charts on my deployed Unity app on Android using that method.

As I see this: the US is built on money. Money is the most valued thing. So if someone hurts your basic need of shelter food or water no one cares. If someone makes you lose money or makes your investment go bad the court will intervene. Although it might sound awful I don't think it is necessarily that way. I just wish it could be more balanced.

But then again, I'm a foreigner, I know nothing about the US.

I read both those articles, but I still don't get how to do it. It seems the idea is that more of the embedding is informed by context, but do I _do_ late chunking?

My best guess so far is that somehow I embed a long text and then I break up the returned embedding into multiple parts and search each separately? But that doesn't sound right.
Because humans are really good at seing patterns.

I've been saying this for years now in the context of sysadmin work and dashboards.

Some people think about graphs in dashboards as pointless frivolity and for show. I've heard/seen people claim: all we need is an indicator: green if OK, else red.

In my opinion, while that is useful, in my position that is often too late.

Always visible that shows whatever is important to my work: disk space, numbers of errors, (mega/giga/tera)bytes in/out pr second/minute/hour, that allows me both to predict and react, often ahead of time and also to easier diagnose, both because I now have an eye into the system but also because I have over time built a feeling for what is normal and not.

The same is true for visualizations and we also have the same enemies, for example misleading scaling and too little/much detail, distracting details and colors that looks way too similar.
C++, bounds checking, performance, and compilers
It would be interesting if a language allowed control flow to jump between catches and exceptions with named sort of exceptions.

E.g., imagine in this example that the code code throw an invalid index exception, some calling code could catch that, and supply a new index, and control flow would resume from the throw expression.

This would be a complete mess, but it would be interesting nonetheless :)
A lot of “farmland” is unproductive and kept in usage only by heavy subsidies. Additionally, I think a more important/interesting part of the article is taxation of livestock - you reduce the land needed significantly when the amount of livestock is reduced. I’m not vegan/vegetarian but it is “obvious” we should reduce meat consumption for a wide range of reasons and focus on raising livestock in ways that are beneficial to the wider environment.
Would you take the night shift? Everyone I've seen promote this idea seems to expect that they'll be the lucky ones who get to keep a normal schedule. If you have a service that needs 24/7 uptime, and you transition from an oncall model to a shift model, at least 2 out of every 3 engineers on the team are going to have to change shifts or quit. If the entire industry shifts, high-availability software would simply join the ranks of fields like nursing or manufacturing where many people have no realistic option to work normal hours.
