I use it as a somewhat more sane way of collecting my repetitive, project specific commands, without having to rely on shell history.

I'll just plop my project-specific workflows (series of shell commands) into a Justfile (that I don't commit, it's just for me). That allows me to be more rigorous and structured with how I'm iterating on a project.

It has syntax and semantics that are sufficiently saner than make, so I don't need to know a lot to be productive.

If I come back to a project after a couple weeks, I don't need to spelunk shell history. Just --list is enough to get back up to speed with how I was iterating.
If you think the taste of honey is indistinguishable from sugar syrup, you haven’t had real honey.

In addition to flavour compounds from the nectar, honey contains trace amino acids that cause it to slowly undergo the malliard reaction at room temperature, resulting in a caramel undertone that increases as the honey ages.

The flavour also strongly depends on the nectar, with some being very subtle and resulting in a very syrup-like honey, and others being extremely strong.

Other than flavour, and some anti-microbial properties, it has the same dietary properties as sugar syrup.
I use "make", so I get most of this. But the one thing I would like is a sibling / parent / grandparent directory with ease, so I might switch.

- The copied speech fragment from marshal Ion Antonescu, the Romanian military dictator that allied with Hitler [2]

- Wikipedia entry on Ion Antonescu [3]

- if you want some keywords on the people here, you can search for Eugen Sechila [the person with that pin], neo-legionari, Antonescu, Corneliu Zelea-Codreanu (the leader of the legionary movement in the 1930s and 40s, whom Călin Georgescu was praising)

I think the idea is to encourage people to invest in non-liquid assets, in order for them to save rather than to spend. Also if you own a house it makes you a shareholder in the town, which means what's good for the town is also good for you. This makes people of the town work together towards a common goal which is presumably a good thing.
Warm water is sufficient, though with recent cautions about heating plastics and leaching of chemicals, I'd prefer transferring the honey to a glass jar if it's not packaged in such already.

You can double-boil if you want, where the jar sits in a shallow water bath which you boil for 10--20 minutes or so to decrystalise the honey.

That's what I'm thinking too. But if that's true, it means Ukraine has a real fighting chance to put them on their knees.

Regarding the city divided into service areas, if you are in the US many cities provided franchise rights to cable providers that gave them exclusive monopoly rights to provide services in exchange for the cable provider spending all the money to install the lines and infrastructure. Most of those franchise deals were done in the 1970s or early 1980s, essentially mimicking the agreements that were in place for AT&T (or RBOCs).

Not all software that people want to run can be efficiently parallelized. There's still a place for larger caches / fatter cores instead of blowing up core count.

In traditional web serving tasks and particularly for commercial cloud providers (usually renting out VM time), this isn't the case, and so I'm sure Ampere will be successful in that space.
The problem is you don't seem to have a well-developed trust model. Trusting authority isn't even needed because of all of the grassroots journalism coming out of Gaza. Trust is what people with underdeveloped research and information processing skills do. You don't need to trust anything. Verify. Corroborate. But it's also important to recognize when large groups of governments are coming together to condemn an activity.

Groups of people are dying left and right across the globe, persecuted, raped and killed for both ideological and capitalistic reasons, and there is absolutely no excuse for any of it. It takes two seconds to confirm with your own eyes what is happening to civilians in Gaza.

I don't know that I agree with this characterization. Was Assad particularly stable? Was he able to prevent rebel groups effectively?

HTS of today might be different from HTS of the past, but that's very much could be just their propaganda. We'll see. Given "guaranteed evil" vs "probably evil" I'd probably prefer the lesser evil.

I very much suspect Russia is fully focused on Ukraine and cannot or will not project force in the region.

Iran has been remarkably restrained over the past little while, and I suspect they want to keep things cool and not hot.

It's a one of least-resistance solutions to integrity/interpretation problem. Good integrity is expected but most people don't think like programmer-lawyer-surgeons, so it's an impossible goal.

Interesting to see Sequent mentioned here. We had one at uni. It was an 8-CPU machine the size of a bank vault. They had it mainly to learn multithreaded programming which was a novelty at that time (even our HP servers were singlecores still)

But the OS (DYNIX/ptx) was pretty barebones and uncommon compared to the big Unix names of the day. It was hard to compile common software on it. Of course in those days we didn't have the gnu ecosystem to smooth things out (having the same compilers and libs available everywhere) so every software package was a huge spaghetty of #ifdefs to handle special edge cases for every different platform. Sequent was not very well represented there so we often had to jump into the code to get something to compile.

So it was not a popular machine, especially once "the internet" suddenly became a thing and browsers had major updates weekly. NCSA Mosaic at first, then Netscape (wow you can now use images as backdrop!!). And that stuff was hard to compile. So the Sequent became less and less popular. And it was easier to get time on it.

I personally also really enjoyed the various rooms of green-screened terminals. Since everyone jumped on the internet and these didn't have graphics capabilities, there was no queues for them unlike the X-Terminals. I could just grab one or even two to have IRC open on one and do some useful work on the other. I could grab them for a whole day if I wanted, nobody cared. And the clear distraction-free UI really helped.

I still love pure text terminals to this day. And it's nice to see they are kinda coming back in fashion.

This is a bad article. There are two issues that are being conflated: collusion, and algorithmic pricing. On top of this, the author is either ignorant of economic principles, or is deliberately avoiding using economic analysis.

Collusion is already illegal. If RealPage is facilitating collusion, then they and the participating landlords should be prosecuted. RealPage seems to be in a strange and novel business where they're recommending prices that might not be the best for their customers, the landlords. This seems a lot like collusion with extra steps. If they're actually recommending prices that maximize profits for each customer individually then that seems fine.

A quote from the article suggests that RealPage is being used in real estate companies by upper managers to guide and oversee the work of their reports:

> If a property manager disagrees with the price the algorithm suggests and wants to decrease rent rather than increase it, a pricing advisor will “escalate the dispute to the manager’s superior,” prosecutors allege in the suit.

This... is fine as long as the price being recommended is in the best interest of the real estate company rather than RealPage.

Algorithmic pricing is a perfectly normal extension of basic business management. A real estate management company could achieve the same thing that RealPage is doing (aside from collusion) by buying data from other companies and using some fancy math to choose the best rental prices.

The article makes a claim that isn't really substantiated:

> The complaint names specific areas where rents are artificially high.

> In the second quarter of 2020, the average rent in San Diego County was $1,926, reflecting a 26% increase over three years, according to the San Diego Union-Tribune. Rents have since risen even more in the city of San Diego, to $2,336 per month as of November 2024 – up 21% from 2020, according to RentCafe and the Tribune. That’s 50% higher than the national average rent.

This is a non sequitur. How San Diego rents compare to the national average doesn't tell you anything about whether rents are artificially high. San Diego is a desirable place to live; maybe the rents are artificially low and really should be 2x the national average! What would tell you that is whether landlords could make more money by lowering rents. This would only make sense if occupancy rates are low and landlords could fill more empty units by lowering rents. It wouldn't necessarily make sense even if occupancy rates are low, as high prices filter out bad tenants who cause damage and other costs and can't compensate the landlord because they don't have money. In some markets filtering out these bad tenants can be worth it even if units go empty. California has really poor protections for landlords against bad tenants, so I wouldn't be surprised if higher prices and lower occupancy rates was the correct business decision for landlords there.

Assad wasn’t really a stabilizing force holding back worse players, he was a desperate despot just barely holding on to power thanks to a proxy war. Now the rest of the parties have a real chance to establishing a governing coalition. Syria has always been relatively secular and the rhetoric coming from the rebel side is in marked contrast to the usual pattern in the region. The most extremist group involved HTS has been surpsingly moderate in its stewardship of the Idlib governate.

There are reasons to interpret this as very good news: Iran and Russia no longer have enough resources to project power. Even with a warm water port and strategic position in the Mediterranean at stake, they just can’t prop up the regime anymore. I can’t help but think that two fewer regional powers meddling in Syrian affairs is nothing but a stabilizing force.

Almost seven million Syrian refugees might have the chance to return home and rebuild now. That’s great news.

I had the privilege of seeing the old Notre Dame right before it burned. It was very cool, but the new one looks like an obsessional desire to remain true to the old form. At one point there was talk of Gehry redesigning it: that would've been interesting! Because when the Notre Dame was rebuilt last, it reflected the architectural limits of its time, the height of the medieval ability and imagination. It is strange to simply replicate that today, when we could do so much more, when the Sagrada Familia, for instance, represents with more force the modern condition.

Tokyo University Used "Tiananmen Square" Keyword to Block Chinese Admissions
> In a bombshell accusation, Todai Shimbum, the student-run paper of Tokyo University, alleges that a graduate admissions site embedded a keyword related to Tiananmen Square for over a year. The goal was apparently to prevent the page from loading in mainland Chinese and thus block Chinese students from attending, the paper alleges.

> Todai Shimbun reports that the keyword appeared on the website for graduate admissions to its Computational Biology and Medical Sciences Program (メディカル情報生命専攻). The keyword used was 六四天安門 (roku-shi tenanmon), or “June 4th Tiananmen.” June 4th was the date of the student Tiananmen Square uprising in 1989.

And the funny thing is that the actual (or of you prefer, literal) snake oil, from Chinese water snakes, likely had at least some therapeutic properties. But much of what was sold as snake oil was itself adulterated (other animal oils, vegetable oils, or quite often, petroleum-based oil).

Actual snake oil in the 1800s came from Chinese water snakes, and Chinese laborers who immigrated to the U.S. shared it with fellow workers as they helped build the transcontinental railroad. This type of snake oil, Pedersen says, was indeed an effective anti-inflammatory.... Enter the mysterious Clark Stanley in 1893.... Standing on stage in front of a growing crowd, Stanley pulled a rattlesnake out of a sack resting near his feet. In dramatic fashion, he slit the rattlesnake open with a knife, placed the snake in a vat of boiling water, and watched as its fat rose to the surface. Stanley sold his product, dubbed “Clark Stanley’s Snake Oil Liniment,” in liniment jars, boasting about its healing powers. Of course, Stanley’s snake oil was a marketing gimmick from the very start.

Stanley's oil's actual ingredients: "mineral oil, beef fat, red pepper and turpentine". (Above article).

His and others' deceptive practices lead to the passage of the Pure Food and Drug Act in 1906.

> If we don't house them and don't treat them, are we throwing them all in prison for life? Executing them? If we don't do either of these things, they're living animals that have to eat, sleep, and shit somewhere. You might prefer it be somewhere you'll never see it, but where? What is a solution that isn't just making it someone else's problem?

Morally we should house and treat them. That is a huge resource draw, since if you just throw them into low barrier housing, you just get a bunch of bad crap happening in whatever unfortunate neighborhood you choose for that. So we need millions of dollar in treatment per case, and maybe we can fix them? Like a 20% chance. Those are a high amount of resources for a low chance of success, ideally we should spend the money anyways but practically we can’t afford it. We could just house them with a social worker like Finland does, but 1 social worker per 4 residents is going to cost about the same and doesn’t even try to fix their problem.

So morally you are right. Maybe in the future when we achieve a post scarcity society we could do that. Today we could focus money instead on helping people before they become addicted to drugs, we would get much better bang for buck of limited resources. I think it is a bit dangerous to teach our kids that we can and will be able to save them even if they try fent (or something unknowingly laced with fent), because that likely isn’t true ATM.
