There is no reason to host 'decentralized' tools besides regulation. It's considerably cheaper to use GitHub (or other alternatives like GitLab) than hosting your own and hiring people to maintain and support the solution. Their issue tracking system is very convenient for small teams too.

Selection is a balance. It is hard to judge what is being selected for when you only look at one factor (drowning).

Aging versus cancer is an example of balance: one theory is that age related diseases are a side effect of selection forces against cancer: programmed cell death after X reproductions (telomeres) are a general anti-cancer defence but the cell-death has aging effects. Also beware that selection is for successful reproduction: death after reproduction is not so relevant to evolution.

I used Edifier WH950NB and I really like it. I used them every day for at least 3 to 4 hours for almost 2 years now, and they are like brand new.

Very comfortable, good sound quality (not an expert by any means) and the battery duration is good considering that I used them always with noise cancelling on.

It sounds good on calls and without ANC environment sounds are ok to keep a conversation.

PD: I realize this looks a little bit like an ad. It is not, I just like the product.
I don't understand why they wouldn't license it under an open-source software (OSS) license if they are closing the business anyway. This would be a great opportunity to foster a community around the project. Without an OSS license, it's unlikely that anyone will invest time and submit pull requests (PRs) to a non-OSS project.
I hadn't come across this yet, interesting idea, and something I had wished for in the past. Ultimately I realized google groups already is something you can easily use - the bigger (social) problem is that not everyone is comfortable with text communication.

Is the same true of other forms of manners, table behaviour say, or are they actually encoding something useful and pro-social?

Which is to say, not using certain language might always grind our gears a little. I notice it, certainly don't always use the words my brain first reaches for, but not so much as to bug me. There's so much other self-censorship that we automate subconsciously or almost, it's not a big deal.

Noodler's inks are dime a gallon, esp. in the US, and they're guaranteed to be pH neutral in most used colors (bottles state if they pH neutral), so they don't damage any pen, modern and vintage.

They're specifically designed to be that.

Bulletproof Noodler's inks are as follows: https://noodlersink.com/product-tag/bullet-proof/

They even have 16 Oz. bottles if you want "buy one, leave for grandchildren" amount of ink in one go.

If you want a more mainstream archival ink, go GvFC, Pelikan 4001 Blue Black (not available in US), MB midnight blue or Pelikan Edelstein Tanzanite.
Author here: Wholeheartedly agree with your comment on hallucination. I initially set out to answer the question “Will entropy help identify hallucination?” And soon realised that it doesn’t, for the same reasons you mentioned above. So I pivoted to just writing about the entropy measure in the post. And this is also reflected by how I started with hallucination and then quickly veered away from it. I’ll be more careful in future posts & conversations. Thanks!
There's a great Japanese (reality?) TV show that kinda borders this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Enough!

In it kids, usually 3-6 years old, are sent alone on errands like buying groceries or picking up stuff. They're followed by camera crew with hidden cameras who only interfere if the kids are _actually_ in danger (never happened in the episodes I saw).

The parents are a bit worried usually, but not scared to death like an American parent would be if they had to send a 5yo to the closest store - which most likely is not accessible without a car anyway...

It's an unfortunate incentive structure. If you're doing offensive security research, there's two ways you can go about it: you can report the potential vulnerability without exploiting it, in which case you risk the company coming back to you and saying "thanks but we don't consider this a vulnerability because it's only exploited through misconfiguration and we're too smart for that". Maybe you get some token reward of $50.

Or you can exploit it and say here's the PoC, this many people at your company fell for it, and this is some of the valuable data I got, including some tokens you'll have to rotate. This puts you into actual bug bounty territory. Certainly the PR side of things alone will incentivize them to pay you so you don't make too much of a noise about how Cursor leaked a bunch of credentials due to a misconfiguration that surely every good programmer knows about and defends against (like so many vulnerabilities seem so dumb in hindsight).

People write code that does sleep statements when waiting for something else to happen. It makes sense in some contexts. Think of it like async/await with an event loop. Except you are using the OS scheduler like your “event loop”. And you sleep instead of awaiting.

Now, if your language lacks the sleep statement or some other way to yield execution, what should you do instead when your program has no work to do? Actually, I don’t know what the answer is.

Pablo Escobar could say that he understand his values (whatever they were; maybe money and power over all other values?) and that he works to apply them every day. He advocated for his own values and morals (ruthlessly). This doesn't make him an Ethical person.

However this study is about the impact of the noise on passengers, not people living beside the tracks. For passengers, I think a tunnel (which reflects the noise back) is worse than an above-ground track. Of course, for both avoiding tight curves during planning and good track maintenance help a lot...

The article you linked also mentions some of the disadvantages of rubber-tire metros:

> Rubber tires wear faster and must be replaced more frequently, meaning more waste. Trains on the Paris Metro – which pioneered the use of rubber tires and inspired Montreal’s design -- can run for 4,325,917 km for every $1 million in maintenance; Toronto’s steel wheeled trains can go for 8,991,405 km-- more than double. Montreal’s Metro requires approximately 2900 new tires every year – that’s a lot of old tires being discarded. When these tires break down, they also create airborne particulate matter that can remain in the environment for years, contributing to air pollution.

The friction between rubber and concrete is greater than between a steel wheel and steel tracks. This means that more energy is required to push Montreal’s cars forward than Toronto’s
Apple applied to use them via the official TFL scheme for doing so, in advance, and is likely paying for them.
The Non-Commercial provision of the license is towards the app/code, not what the app is used for by end users.

You would not be able to install it and sell users right to use it, but you would be able to install it in-house for your own employees.

Would that still not be easier than developing something stable and finding ways to force 3rd party developers to support Linux? (when you can offer them anything in return)
Cool, just have to wait before it is stable enough for daily use of mission critical data. I am personally optimistic about bcachefs, but incredibly pessimistic about changing filesystems.

Can you explain why their finding is invalid or how it does not contradict your claim (Corn Syrup and Sucrose are chemically identical from the standpoint of human metabolism)? This isn't a rhetorical question, I'm not an expert in the field I don't pretend to be able to understand the subject.
Likely depends on system. In multi-stream system I think paper is likely economically net positive in recycling. It scales well enough to large plants to reasonably complete with pristine material. Also many use case like cardboard for shipping is suitable use cases.
IIUC the ask (I have a hard time wrapping my head around zfs vernacular), btrfs allows this at least in some cases.

If you can convince btrfs balance to not use the dev to remove it will simply rebalance data to the other devs and then you can btrfs device remove.
Thanks for this, they have many images with an online working demo for 3 minutes to try it out. For sure I'm going to have another look at Kasm.
So for instance I have a ZFS pool with 3 HDD data vdevs, and 2 SSD special vdevs. I want to convert the two SSD vdevs into a single one (or possibly remove one of them). From what I read the only way to do that is to destroy the entire pool and recreate it (it's in a server in a datacentre, don't want to reupload that much data).

In windows, you can set a disk for removal, and as long as the other disks have enough space and are compatible with the virtual disks (eg you need at least 5 disks if you have parity with number of columns=5), it will rebalance the blocks onto the other disks until you can safely remove the disk. If you use thin provisioning, you can also change your mind about the settings of a virtual disk, create a new one on the same pool, and move the data from one to the other.

Mdadm/lvm will do the same albeit with more of a pain in the arse as RAID requires to resilver not just the occupied space but also the free space so takes a lot more time and IO than it should.

It's one of my beef with ZFS, there are lots of no return decisions. That and I ran into some race conditions with loading a ZFS array on boot with nvme drives on ubuntu. They seem to not be ready, resulting in randomly degraded arrays. Fixed by loading the pool with a delay.
It is a generational / group / identity thing. TikTok users to don’t want to be forced over to Instagram/YouTube.

> Twitter, which was arguably the hub of wokeness, was bought by Elon Musk in order to neutralize it, and he seems to have succeeded — and not, incidentally, by censoring left-wing users the way Twitter used to censor right-wing ones, but without censoring either.

In my personal experience, after Elon bought Twitter and implemented his policies, I have seen an influx of Hitler quotes and literal Nazi propoganda (advocating for the Final Solution, etc.). I literally had to leave Twitter recently because it was mentally draining to have to argue with someone over why the Holocaust was bad.

If Linux gaming picks up and it gains significant market share then that is not an issue. Game developers will not use APIs that don’t work on the machines of ~20% of their users (or won’t make it mandatory, anyway)

Considering the alternative (ie. the native approach) would result in having very few games on Linux anyway that doesn’t seem that bad.

I always used to do that, using Vagrant. Mostly because it was the only practical way to maintain independent environments for the tools I was using.

These days I work in JavaScript and rarely have issues with project environments interfering with each other. I've gotten lazy and don't use VMs anymore.

In theory docker type setups could work but they just seem so much effort to learn and setup.
This is nonsense because companies can and do replace dividends with share buybacks.

While sometimes criticized as "executives juicing the stock price because that's what their incentives are tied to", in fact investors recognise that buybacks are economically equivalent to dividends, but tax-advantaged (for exactly the reasons you gave, they don't create a taxable event for the shareholders).

One problem with buybacks is it's socially difficult for companies to replace dividends with buybacks - by convention, dividends are usually issued on a regular schedule and buybacks are ad-hoc, so "cutting dividends" is seen as a sign of a company that no longer has reliable profits. But that really is just convention and it would only take a few companies switching to normalize this.
Which is exactly what the kids want.

PHP being low-resource is a fallacy. You either:

- use mod_php which must start an interpreter instance for each request and has to dump all associated resources (db handle and the like) and memory when the request is served

- use something like FPM that has a pool of workers ready to communicate with the web server, which is more or less what every other languages do, if not via fast-cgi just by proxying an application server

Another way is event-driven, async PHP application server, but again it's not any different than similar solutions in other languages.

Now why people think PHP is low-resource ? That's all rose tinted glasses, because back in the days when everyone just used mod_php on cheap shared hosting for low-traffic websites, the execution model made it possible to get away with leaky apps since all memory was flushed at the end of the request.

If you want to go low-resource, use something like Go which is both much faster than PHP and has a lower memory footprint or choose an execution model that shares resources between requests (available in any JS, Python, Ruby, whatever you like).

To be fair almost all Linux distros are as bad if not worse in this regard.

Even if it's just a distraction, countries usually distract from their internal problems by targeting un-allied countries as the source of their problems. For example, when China has some internal issue, they start complaining about Japan or Taiwan. When Iran has problems, they threaten the US.

When countries start threatening those who aren't their active enemies, it's a first step into normalization of the rhetoric and building up support for inhuman actions. Iraq wasn't even in anyone's mind until suddenly America needed to invade and "liberate" it just for some president's personal ego, and the overwhelming majority became convinced that Iraq was involved in 9/11 (it wasn't) and steamrolling the entire country was doing the world a public service (it wasn't)[1]. Nobody was even thinking about Greenland or Denmark in the US until someone with a big ego started talking about liberating it. Now the same political faction that had 89% support for the Iraq War is starting up the same thing.

Fructose tastes a lot sweeter than sucrose. This is something I never understood about HFCS. If it's sweeter, wouldn't it lead to people consuming less? In the UK there are quite a few low calorie drinks that use only fructose for this reason.

Their competence isn't as big as their fame, in my opinion.

Also one of their sales people insulted me over email, because apparently not being interested in buying their product means you're an incompetent developer who can only write software filled with vulnerabilities.
