Headings on when isatty and off when piping the output put me off when I first tried ripgrep. I don't expect the tools to change their output format on me.

Luckily, you made this behavior configurable, so I'm a happy convert now.
I'm very hopeful for the possibility of using bluesky for blob data.

A friend and I had considered looking into storing DOOM WADs on bluesky so that "map packs" could be shared in the same way posts are. Follow an account, a list, or a starter pack, and you could theoretically modify GZDoom or some other client to know how to search and view any WADs posted by those accounts. Like how the Steam Workshop works, except it's via bluesky. :D
There's a rather large gap between "mandatory education can be propaganda" and "there is literally a chip connected to your brain".
It's blatantly untrue to conclude that when we are largely ignorant of the detailed workings of the brain and of the universe at large, and ultimately unscientific, using Popper's falsifiability principle.
> why does they have to be a winner and loser. everyone can thrive? except the United States is being buoyed by two main elements.

Why can’t there be a winner and a loser and both the winner and the loser cooperate and thrive with loser having the humility to admit he’s a loser? Isn’t this the same peaceful consequence? Just say China is better and admit inferiority for the everlasting peace. Why can’t you do it?

Because competition and cooperation are intrinsic parts of natural selection and therefore evolutionary biology and therefore human nature. Don’t pretend to be above your own nature.

Or do pretend. We can all act according to our ideals and deny our basest instincts, but don’t expect the mob to act the same way in aggregate.
No. Nixon et al handed us to CCP whole. But hey, cheap TVs, clothes and what not.
A bunch appeared in our local park's hiking trail. Though I think it was an approved event based on some of the signage around at the time. It is a shame that unapproved ads can litter public spaces with little or no consequence, but not art.

I Build an app that transforms your Bathroom Selfies into Professional Headshots
I’m not a camera-shy person, but every time someone takes my photo, my anxiety spikes, and I feel nervous for no clear reason. Over time, I tried convincing myself to overcome it, but I kept failing. So, I decided to build an app that lets me take selfies anytime, anywhere—no sweating, no awkward requests to others to take my picture.

If this resonates with you, check it out! I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences. Looking forward to your feedback.

No, if you expect farmland to produce 0 food then having extra farmland is pointless. 0 * 2 X = 0 * X = 0.

The point of extra farmland is to make up for some expected shortfall, but you’re better off stockpiling food during productive periods than have reserve capacity for use when something else is going wrong.

PS: It is common to have quite large stockpiles of food. Many crops come in once a year and then get used up over that year. But that assumes a 1:1 match between production and consumption, a little extra production = quite a large surplus in a year.
I mean, we can just make the languages simpler? We can also remove all the hundred different ways to pronounce English sounds. All elementary students will thank you for it xD

Seriously though, if he's primarily in a delegation mode these days, good for him, I think he's earned it

Bias disclosure: I feel like I could be a Musk if I actually had zero laziness and a few extra connections. We are similar in intelligence and interests and worldview (other than his edgy tweets of the last 1-2 years)
X is pretty great now. Once the politics dies down a little it'll be the best place to be for the next 4+ years
Fair critique about the documentation - this needs proper attention.
Writing a man page first is a solid approach - it forces clear thinking about the interface before implementation. I'll prioritize adding complete documentation for all options and the plugin system.
The code works, but without good docs it's not truly useful.
Yeah, that works. There's someone I know who picked up religion as an adult, and what everyone else sees as his subconscious, he himself thinks is literally the world of god.

Münchhausen trilemma makes it impossible to argue that point either way.
No, there are alternatives like runit and SMF that do not use shell scripts.

Its conveniently ignored by systemd-supporters and the conversation always revolves around the fact that we used to use shell scripts. Despite the fact that there are sensible inits that predate systemd that did not use shell languages.

Chinese cars used to have lots of quality problems because they didn’t embrace automation, afraid that would take away jobs (Toyotas made in China 12-15 years ago were notoriously bad compared to ones made in Japan/usa). But in the last ten years, they’ve gone full speed ahead on it, as aggressive as the Japanese, and the quality increases are really noticeable. It’s not just a tech upgrade, they’ve really changed the way they are thinking about manufacturing (not just a jobs program).
Right. Semantic iconography need not be universal or even formal to be real.

Think of all the symbols notetakers invent; ideographs without even phonology assigned to it.

Being as dynamic as flexible as human expression is hard.

Emojis have even taken on this property naturally. The high-5 is also the praying hands for instance. Culturally specific semantics are assigned to the variety of shapes, such as the eggplant and peach.

Insisting that this shouldn't happen is a losing battle against how humans construct written language. Good luck with that.
too late for what??

too late relative to what?
Threads has a massive problem in that it recruits its users from Instagram (there are others but primarily its still a branch of Instagram) which is the domain of AI generated slop and people I actually know in real life.

The whole point of the twitter style firehose is to be not be either of those things. Bluesky honestly probably has a decent shot but I think its still attracting some hyper-orthodox, censorious, thinkers. Musk has gone too far with X[0] but I don't think his vision in the abstract is wrong.

[0] Every accusation is a confession - X is now near-directly attached to the US Gov!
> They don’t seem to offer anything new/different other than moderation

Pretty wildly obviously critically incorrect statement right there!

It's still early days, but BlueSky is "protocols not platforms." So there's lots of extensibility baked in.

There's already a variety of custom feeds available. Which in short lets us opt in to whatever algorithms we would like. I love my Quiet Posters feed, which emphasizes folks who aren't super active, who I would otherwise miss.

The default view is a timeline, which is so much better than the disgusting engagement farming shallow or demented shit that floods Threads and X. So the default view is much better, much less polluted with awful garbage, and I have the ability to control what I see, what algorithms I would want to opt in to.

There's a variety of different clients available, which is a nice option for power users and those trying to organize the many flows and feeds they want to keep tabs on.

Everyone else is making links harder to engage with or algorithmically de-prioritizng them. BlueSky claims they "love the open web" and don't do any of that gross entrapping.

The "protocols not platforms" ethos here allows new stuff to get built around and on top of Bluesky. Early days, but there's a bunch of projects listed on for example https://github.com/fishttp/awesome-bluesky . Everything else is run top down by awful sterile controlling corporate interests, but BlueSky has that emerging new possibilities potentiation going strong, by appealing to developers, asking them to build stuff. Here's their latest call for projects... You just don't see that sort of stuff anywhere except BlueSky anymore. https://github.com/bluesky-social/atproto/discussions/3049

Depends on where you live I guess. "Fixing potholes" would be far more palatable than "bike lanes" over here.
A simple tool to check IP reputation
Checking whether or not a particular IP is on any open source blacklists is pretty annoying. Most IP scoring services place paywalls in the way.

So I built a simple tool to make this easier - no paywalls, just put in an IP and see the score.

Only supports IPv4 for now.

This is basically just a wrapper for IPSum (https://github.com/stamparm/ipsum)
Or the reverse, most people have specific IPs that they'd like to route traffic through the VPN but mostly don't care about the rest.

Again, you wind up creating a huge list of exact IPs and creating the routing rules is a PITA.
Yeah but you don't use the external IP for the purpose of accessing your VPN (not via a DNS record anyway). I am also unclear on the purpose of the dynamic DNS.

Twitter does not need a replacement. There seem to be a popular opinion that it does, but it's not something people are willing to act on.

It’s ok if you’re struggling. As long as you are humble enough to admit it.

The food pyramid is based off of cherry picked data and biased experiments influenced the food industry. This is similar to your cherry picked data.

Your data measures low contrast vs high contrast but really you need to measure high contrast vs. blurred background.

As others here have pointed out -- you don't need to do lithography 300 times. The big breakthrough of 3D NAND is depositing alternating layers of films to build most of the layers.

This is 3 stacks of >100 layers.
I recall not too long ago a startup advertising exactly this idea for farms. It was some box with various sensors (and output lines) that you could configure to do a multitude of tasks
Will definitely prioritize optimization in the next releases. Planning to benchmark against ls on various systems and file counts to get this properly sorted.
Bluesky seems to use a lot of totally different domain names for each part of their infrastructure, maybe for this reason. e.g. this one is bsky.network

While they're nowhere close on volume, they're certainly beating microsoft in terms of the rate they're adding similar looking official URLs.

If anything, it's a case for building more housing and public transit. Either this happens or it'll continue bleeding jobs to other metros

Having corporations bring jobs here with the current housing situation is kind of irresponsible. In the long run, if they spent some %age of money on yimby causes, they could save money by reducing the cost of living
They last longer because they are treated gently compared to lithium packs in EVs (shallow/frequency cycles, lower charge/discharge rates, etc).

When used in the same duty cycle, most lithium cells/packs should last longer than the same capacity NIMH cells/packs.
hehehe. I pinned it to the top research ideas. I'll get back to you on this
The lack of such markers prevents Unicode from encoding strings of mixed Japanese and Chinese text correctly. Or in the case of a piece of software that must accept both Chinese and Japanese names for different people, Unicode is insufficient for encoding the written forms of the names.
What about the pollution from creating electricity that powers your devices? and manufactures them?
George’s detailed analysis always impresses me. I’m amazed with his attention to detail.
The use is that there's often (in my field) no space for an 11.5x13 eMMC. There are some that are slightly smaller, but as you brought up the wlcsp-8, there's nothing like eMMC/high capacity NAND density scaled down. If I had the bits/mm^2 of even NAND 5 years ago, I'd be a happy camper. But that's life.
The difference in moderation is night and day.

Soon after Musk took over, I started having accounts wishing me violent deaths, repeatedly commenting on everything I said with graphic details (broken bones, poisoning, dragging my body over the pavement, etc.). That happened occasionally before, but they typically got banned. After the takeover, those were gone (and my account got blocked a couple of times for quoting them).

That hasn’t happened after a year on BlueSky and Threads.

Scams were rampant on large accounts and people looking at cryptocurrencies: more than three-quarters of comments were obvious patterns that I had flagged dozens of times. I noticed those earlier today on Threads; let’s see if they reappear and make up most of the discourse there.
Some of that may be due to the owner transporting it from job to job instead of storing it in their own yard.

Nonetheless, there's a lot of idle people/equipment in construction because things have to be done in the right order and sometimes it's more economical to over-provision than risk delaying the whole project because something wasn't available when it was needed.

Those hundreds per day will partly pay for all the sitting around unused in the hiring company's yard! You can see this in the pricing which is usually a lower rate if you hire it for a longer period.
I'm fully aware of why there's been no improvement, it just sucks for me.
I'm not concerned that people are choosing to use it. I'm pointing out the hypocrisy of libertarianism.
It's inevitable that social media will split up into separate and distinct networks of people who can no longer stand or even undertand the other sociopolitical tribes.

All of us sharing a singular global network was an exceptional and ephemeral circumstance.
You can initiate a conversation with anyone while you are connected via satellite. But you do need to set up an emergency contact and/or Family Sharing Group if you want to connect via satellite and receive messages that were sent to you while you were offline.

Sure, whatever: I had certainly given it approximately no thought in this case, and my personal investment in 'sk**t' is zero. I'd edit my post but I seem to have hit the timeout. I will also say that I don't think this is the most interesting or on-topic thread to pull on from my comment.
It's not just that X/Twitter shows you politics whether you want it or not, it's that it's flavor of politics is increasingly resembling that of 4chan. I just skimmed though the auto-play videos on my account and the algorithm decided to show me this for some reason: https://x.com/AlaskanTom/status/1860339990992925170

That's far from the worst I've seen on there either, evidently you can just post about how Hitler was right and it won't affect your visibility at all now, nevermind get you banned.

I've mostly kept the usage to "sane" stuff like turning delimiter-separated text into rows, or walking a graph.

As much as I enjoy the Mandelbrot set, I bought the Fractint book as a kid, anyone done any outlandish but useful recursive queries?

PS: awesome explanation of how exactly the recursive query works. Wish I had read it when I first needed it in some other DB which help did not have such a clear explanation. Tore out a lot of hair before I got it working right.
> All nation's governments will absolutely ensure, overtly or covertly, that their national regulators limit any space-based supra-national system from being able to threaten their national telephony and data carriers

The ITU is pretty overt about how frequency allocation governance works. Absolutely no one wants a free-for-all frequency regime, for a multitude of reasons - not even SpaceX.

You may recall that Huawei 5G equipment was expunged from domestically-controlled, western infrastructure without having broken any laws, due to fears of future abuse. Your suggestion of a foreign company unilaterally, and illegally[1] imposing it's foreign-controlled, space-based phone network goes much further than whatever fears Washington had over Huawei.

1. Pretty much every country on earth with a government regulates how radio spectrum is licensed for telecommunications, not for the purposes of control as an end, but coordination and preventing interference.

It absolutely is. Sure it's the default, but it's the default to measure against and beat. It's like comparing ML algos against the average prediction, or forecasts against the previous known value.
Writer's conceipt - a good story needs suffering. The oligarchs might need some human assistance with, for example, software engineering to operate parts of their vast holdings. Note that in the original Manna there were still some human workers - lawyers, at least. Even if it was just 1% of the population, that's a significant number. Note also that the POV character was generally unaware of the wider state of the dystopia, and so were we, the reader.

The workers supply not only the drama of suffering but also a (meagre, absurd) customer base for the fast food restaurants themselves.

Last but not least, given the long distances involved in interstellar travel, an oligarch must delegate their authority, either to a machine, a human, or a combination, and that is an opportunity for some drama as experience and vision inevitably diverge. This would be true even if, for example, the delegate is a perfect clone of the oligarch. It would be within these cracks and crevices hope could form, only to be crushed, in artistic, brutal fashion.

Yeah there's a JEP around deprecating access to sun.misc.Unsafe, but that's part of a larger effort including Jigsaw to push the Java ecosystem in the direction of modular builds, where more invariants are assumed to hold (e.g. " 'final' fields are actually final") unless explicitly opted out for each module. I would assume the lack of such guarantees in the status quo wreaks a lot of havoc with EA.

Profiling and debugging would be separate considerations -- I'm really not sure what limitations those impose on the JVM JIT.
