Location doesn’t matter. Duration of storage matters. If we could find a way to lock it up in a building material that would be effective and useful.
I used Cloudflare to set up a PyPI mirror service.

Antisemitic used to mean people that don't like people from Israel. Now it means people that people from Israel don't like.
Some people become bosses and managers because they like to boss people around. When they’re not physically around other people who are their subordinates, they can’t scratch their itch. More generously, some people have built their whole management style on watching people around the office and get a feel for what’s going on. And if they can’t see someone, they assume that that person is hiding somewhere in order to slack off. Now imagine this person a few years ago in a company which went all work-from-home. This person would want cameras on all employees during work hours, and constant meetings, to to get that same feeling that they can get a sense of what is going on. This same person would naturally advocate to RTO as soon as possible, could not clearly articulate why, but would fall back on their managerial authority to get it done.
Looks cool. I've been using PythonAnywhere for simple hosting before but this seems like a good option for other languages.
I noticed that your locations are the same as the ones that Hetzner offers, do you happen to use their servers?
Sararr: One of the most recognisable Fairlight sounds
From my point of view it is a real usability issue.

zfs modules are not in the official repos. You either have to compile it on each machine or use unofficial repos, which is not exactly ideal and can break things if those repos are not up to date. And I guess it also needs some additional steps for secureboot setup on some distros?

I really want to try zfs because btrfs has some issues with RAID5 and RAID6 (it is not recommended so I don't use it) but I am not sure I want to risk the overall system stability, I would not want to end up in a situation where my machines don't boot and I have to fix it manually.
That whole video is really neat, love the guy teaching!
You're making it sound like Reddit was unusable without API/client in the past though. I'd never used a Reddit client before I started using it at all on mobile. I bet a good chunk of users (esp casually browsing, or frequenting exactly one niche subreddit) just used the web.

Not saying it wasn't user hostile or sucked, it just doesn't match the experience I had (or when I talked to some people).
It may not be that different from the standpoint of human metabolism but it's kind of ickey to have it inserted industrially into all your food due to corporate profiteering and backhanders. You could compare to a country like France say (I'm a Brit who visits the US and France), and the food tastes better, the people are slimmer and healthier and live longer (83 vs 79). I'd recommend a switch to the French system based on results, lifestyle and human happiness.
I'm not sure we have stopped using flash, judging by the pile of USB sticks on my desk :) In relation to the fs analogy if you used a flash drive that you know corrupted your data, you'd throw it away for one you know works.
It's the closest we have to a browser not controlled by the corporate giants.
Sometimes Mozilla makes unpopular choices and people raise a stink about it, but we do that because we hold them to a higher standard. With Microsoft and Google, we just expect them to Do More Evil, with Mozilla we expect Good and will complain loudly when they fail to uphold our principles, and we recommend Firefox because we feel like it is possible to expect Good from them.
The top photo shows a detonated ATM. In Germany 2022 almost 500 ATMs have been blown up or it was attempted (meaning explosion happened but money couldn't be extracted).

Just to put things into perspective.

My sister went to an allergist and found out she is allergic to corn/HFCS as well with similar symptoms as you (hives, vomit inducing). Corn and HFCS are in almost literally everything, so it's a really hard allergy for her to have. You say now you eat it for breakfast? What do you mean by that? Are you over your allergy and what has worked for you if so? If you could give someone going through something similar advice what would you say?
I don't think car traffic leads to economic decline. It changes how people spend their time.

Let's say in 15 minutes, I can walk 1 km, go 5 km on a bike, 10 km with a public transport and 15 km with a car.

Area = pi * radius*2
Walking = 3.14sqkm
Bike = 78sqkm
Public transport = 314sqkm
Car = 706sqkm
(All is just example ignoring parking, looking for bike stands, waiting for public transport or changing stations)

If I want to do Yoga, and it is in 706sqkm around me, but not in 314km, I have to use car and no other transport is going to get me there in 15 minutes. When the city have a policy that prohibits me from using the car, I need to choose the second most preferred activity, which might be for example going to a café nearby.

Cities that slow down transport are in fact harming people's interests by limiting their choices and pushing them to suboptimal choices. (Which also inherently means that faster is always better and people who want to slow down traffic in cities are evil, but that off-topic)

If there were no subsidies for cars, public transport and bike lines and all this was based purely on contributions from users, it would create a self-optimising feedback mechanism. Going to yoga could for example cost $2 to build & maintain roads. I might not want to spend it and I might go to a café instead because everyone living in the city already pays for his sidewalk anyway.
Agreed, using a word is very different from mentioning it, and mentions being banned along with usage is throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
I'm clearly in the minority, but the new app is leaps and bounds more usable and stable for me. The functionality gaps don't affect me - those features weren't things I used. And it's way, way more responsive and consistent than the old one.

Perhaps it's just my specific network situation. The old app was a constant headache of inconsistent state - music playing while it showed nothing playing, pressing commands (like skipping a track or pausing) but those commands never happening on the device. It also took a very long time to show my entire device list. Never quite worked with the Roam like it should have.
If trees are doing more work then we estimated in simulations, then good/bad, as we cut down forest we are doing more damage.

But also, since trees do more work than we thought, then planting more will have bigger impact than past estimates.
Prasad is very different to langar. Langar is a full meal, served to anyone who turns up, no questions asked. Prasad is often sweet, given in much smaller quantities (hardly enough to be a full meal), and almost never served hot.
And this is being done by the same Ukrainian call centers that are scamming money out of people all over the world...
Different antenna, though from the same era.
I recently bought a cheap used Canon 35mm film camera which fits the same EF lenses I already had for my digital SLR. It has proved to be the far more fun camera to take on a photo walk. Not just because I have to think about each shot, but for the delayed gratification of having to wait days/weeks before seeing that it came out as planned.
This war is being conducted on many hidden fronts. Just today there was an article about how Russians are pressuring the relatives of hostages into committing similar acts: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c9w5jyd9nnwo
Interesting! I ran into this article during the morning and was very surprised - hadn’t read it before my bandit comment
That subreddit could basically not be further from the ones I frequent. There are some ok cycling ones, relatively low traffic, not many people, good content - and especially not only typical computer nerds.
Which is why strongly favoring products that are already real open source is the best business decision.
that's not how meson describes itself:

> Meson is an open source build system meant to be both extremely fast, and, even more importantly, as user friendly as possible.

now I've never used it, so I can't directly defend that claim. I have heard good things about meson though and it would seem strange to me such a headline would make sense on a project that I also hear good things about.
The main hurdle is hostile Linux kernel developers who aren't held accountable intentionally breaking ZFS for their own petty ideological reasons e.g. removing the in-kernel FPU/SIMD register save/restore API and replacing it with a "new" API to do the the same.

What's "new" about the "new" API? Its symbols are GPL2 only to deny it's use to non-GPL2 modules (like ZFS). Guess that's an easy way to make sure that BTRFS is faster than ZFS or set yourself up as the (to be) injured party.

Of course a reimplementation of the old API in terms of the new is an evil "GPL condom" violating the kernel license right? Why can't you see ZFS's CDDL2 license is the real problem here for being the wrong flavour of copyleft license. Way to claim the moral high ground you short-sighted, bigoted pricks. sigh
> Cursor does not have a bug bounty

Shouldn't this alone be considered criminal negligence at this point? Cursor isn't some random open source project. It's a company that has funding, and subscriptions. Hell, I pay Cursor for a monthly subscription. Pretty incredible that they have no bounty program.

The Nordics say "hello, this isn't enough".

While it's absolutely true that many couples refrain from having children due to financial reasons, many others simply don't want any. You can't really fix the latter, even if a lot more can and should be done for the former.
This consumes far more land area than we have available.

The first blast furnaces were indeed fuelled this way, from locally sourced charcoal, but coal/coke took over due to requiring far less effort (energy!) to extract.

Going by https://www.drax.com/uk/sustainability/sustainable-bioenergy... , the UK's single large scale biomass power plant is fuelled by over sixteen million hectares (160,000km^2) or approximately one Wisconsin. If we wanted to power the whole UK electricity from biomass, we'd need ten Wisconsins. (Wisconsin, presumably, would have to find some other source of power in this scenario)

(of course, Drax wasn't built to burn imported biomass, it was built to burn locally extracted coal ...)
He didn’t even have to build his own strawman. It is a shared strawman - which is more efficient. PG out there disrupting the bad faith argument industry.
Unless you’re using Debian backports, and they backport a new kernel a week before the zfs backport package update happens.

Happened to me more than once. I ended up manually changing the kernel version limitations the second time just to get me back online, but I don’t recall if that ended up hurting me in the long run or not.
That's debatable - Quebec generates close to 50% of Canada's Hydro power and has been part of world leaders in the field. The province has been pretty competent in the past decades - of course with challenges - but the rest of Canada would be lost without Hydro-Quebec being behind most projects and investments (expertise, management, financing...)
Absolutely. I don't mean to imply that it's "just happening." It's happening for very good reasons, like the ones you mentioned.
I see why the author did this, building a video game with all of its resources (source code, shaders, assets, docs etc.) is actually very complicated.

But then I might ask why all of it needs to be build all of the time? Why not make dedicated build steps for every sort of resource and maintain a global build script for all? Doing it the KISS way seems more practical to me than inventing a completely new tool.
This is my approach to build software for 20 years now, and it never failed me.
No it doesn't. It might involve giving up some of your individuality, but I don't think that's true either.
Incorrect. It refers to the wagons, which were temporarily converted.
It isn't. Greenhouse emissions have remained roughly stagnant for over 30 years, while lung cancer deaths have dropped by 50-60 percent. Of course that's largely due to a decrease in smoking, but without any concomitant increase in mortality from "bad air", I don't see how anyone could think it's a "big deal".

As a practicing Hindu, even I feel your original comment is inaccurate.

There's free food, and then there's langar. The scale, quality and motives are just so different.
Yeah, we are mostly running on Hetzner Infrastructure for now!
I'm reasonably certain the causality is the other way around: Once he was about to loose power his gayness was used to attack him. If he hadn't been gay he would have been attacked for some other reason. It's the change in behaviour that's relevant not the absolute facts.

It's reasonably simple: Be sufficiently powerful and your sins will be overlooked (for a recent example: See Donald Trump's "sentence" in New York). And in non-rule-of-law societies your sins-while-powerful will be used against you (this is why democracies historically always had immunity arrangements)
Yes, pretty much. While I don't concur with Mozilla 100% of the time, it is still the only major browser that I can have control (e.g.: by still having Manifest V2 extensions available). Also most of controversial choices in Firefox can be disabled or changed in `about:config`.
Uhm, this still sounds like just bad math.

While it's non-obvious this is the effect, anyone analyzing the results should be aware of it and should only compare weighted averages, or per distinct time periods.

And therein is the largest problem with A/B testing: it's mostly done by people not understanding the math subtleties, thus they will misinterpret results in either direction.
I hate my sonos setup now. It sounds great, but everything else has got worse since I bought them. The Sonos connect isn't supported by s2, the latency of changing volume got worse to the point that it is way too loud before you even notice it changing, There is something completely broken between Spotify/Sonos/Alexa making it only play Spotify free through sonos even though I have a subscription.

Then there's the things that were always shit, like no low latency streaming except through the analogue inputs on the Sonos connect and a closed protocol blocking open source improvements.
Interesting (but perhaps not surprising) none of the top comments mention meeting or learning how to work with the people who build, operate, and maintain the software product that they're managing.

Understanding the dynamic (ie. inherent tension) between engineering and product/business is a really important part of a software job no matter what your role is.
Vimscript and elisp suck, but Lua isn't bad despite being 1-indexed.

But in terms of access, JS wins hands down.

Difference only in magnitude, not in kind. It's memory holing no matter which way you cut it. If the message has deliberate barriers erected to being recieved, i.e. the messages receptibility is infringed upon, it's clearly censorship.
Not everywhere, between 2000 and 2020, 36 countries managed to get more tree cover than they lost, so we "just" need to expand this practice.

https://research.wri.org/gfr/forest-extent-indicators/forest...

> Even though the world gained 130.9 Mha of tree cover between 2000 and 2020, it still lost much more, with an overall net loss of 100.6 Mha. While the global numbers report a negative trajectory, there are distinct regional patterns or “hotspots” of net gain. At least 36 countries gained more tree cover than they lost over the 20-year time period. As a continent, Europe gained 6 million hectares of tree cover by 2020. Asia also had a large proportion of countries with net gain, particularly in Central and South Asia. The drivers of much of this gain (for example, what proportion is due to intentional restoration interventions versus land abandonment) are still difficult to determine using the available data, but are a key area for future research. Additionally, even though tree cover gain is occurring in many places, it doesn’t “cancel out” the impacts of loss. Primary forests in particular serve as critical carbon stores and support an intricate network of wildlife, none of which can easily be replaced once lost.
Way to keep your hud, son.
Trees take too long to grow relative to how much is used in construction, let alone if it were used as a fuel vs coal.
Do you happen to have any example that shows LP in Pluto? The site you linked does not show it, at least looking at the screenshots, I don't see anything like I would have in org-mode using org-babel.
When I see someone use that word, it's almost always a clear knee-jerk reaction to:

- Media featuring women who aren't exclusively an attractive love interest or a very minor character

- Media featuring non-white or non-heterosexual people in major roles

I find it difficult to have any rational discussion of this topic because it always gets drowned out by overwhelming racism and sexism. You can't talk about overcorrection or virtue signalling without an army of angry white guys present who watch hours of "(some guy) DESTROYS wokeness with FACTS and LOGIC" on youtube every day.

That said, compared to disinformation and identity politics, this is a non-issue. It's a convenient topic to focus the anger and time of straight white men so they don't notice how billionaires and opportunistic politicians are taking their futures away while pretending to care about "free speech". This will have huge consequences not just for victims of racism and sexism, but literally everyone who isn't filthy rich.
Because it's actually better or because of confirmation bias or because as a "visitor" your diet is not representative of what people who live their eat on a normal day/week?
> I don't see the current level to be unsustainable at all.

Always very surprising to read this.

Population has grown ~8x since 1900, environment is collapsing around us, billions of people are still living in poverty (i.e. their consumption of everything will go up if or when poverty is eradicated globally)... So, yes current population level is completely unsustainable.
There's a UK beyond London, bro.
Interesting that a couple of months ago there was an article which stated the exact opposite:

> In 2023, the hottest year ever recorded, preliminary findings https://arxiv.org/pdf/2407.12447 by an international team of researchers show the amount of carbon absorbed by land has temporarily collapsed. The final result was that forest, plants and soil – as a net category – absorbed almost no carbon.

> “We’re seeing cracks in the resilience of the Earth’s systems. We’re seeing massive cracks on land – terrestrial ecosystems are losing their carbon store and carbon uptake capacity, but the oceans are also showing signs of instability,” Johan Rockström, director of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, told an event at New York Climate Week in September.

> “Nature has so far balanced our abuse. This is coming to an end,” he said.

Are there any good charities that buy up green land for the sake of not doing anything to it? From what I've read of carbon capture economics, it seems a frillion times more effective to simply not chop down more forest compared to investing in carbon capture (though I'm not saying we shouldn't do both)
Phone scams are the problem in Russia: https://meduza.io/en/feature/2025/01/10/they-terrorized-him

(TL;DR: student commits suicide because of such scams).
In my own current project I've found that it's important to remember that there are at least two different audiences for the documentation:

- the user who wants the bare minimum, perhaps a template and a brief discussion of each command, ideally wrapped up to be as friendly as possible

- myself and other programmers who want the innermost workings explained in detail

The typical user of TeX doesn't want _The TeXbook_, nor even a Literate version of Plain TeX (and why that doesn't exist is a different discussion), but rather lshort.pdf (and they _don't_ want the typeset .dtx source of latex2e --- I actually printed that out once, and have yet to read it, since I still need to compile a list of texts I need to read/concepts I need to understand in order to do so profitably).

How are the Firefox dev tools these days? Every time I've tried in the past I end up missing the Chrome dev tools, and it's too much of a pain to have one browser for development and one for browsing. I would love to switch, though.

If you want to try something wild: take a side project and do your programming on paper.

Type the code in and run it if you must. But go back and write in pen and ink.

It sounds weird. Programming languages have a lot of funky syntax. You’ll find the impulse to either find short-hand or else you will start structuring the program such that you can keep (parts of) it in your head.
This approach likely scales to top models. There was a thought for a while among researchers that scaling up Hogwild / LocalSGD to more parameters would be less convergent, but it seems to be that things actually converge a bit better with larger models, especially if a MoE split is used.
I did switch to links/lynx (could be netsurf), and I did never look back.
From the perspective of an engineer- do a listening tour. Learn as much as you can. Shadow meetings. From there you’ll start to see where you can have an impact.
"Wokeness" itself implies taking some form of (performative) action. You can be aware of social injustice existing and not be "woke", in my opinion at least.
It feels like an accounting of a person who is very deeply wearing tinted glasses about the world.
Which also makes it usable for left-handers.
Behind hundreds of builds Snyk has been a challenging integration that ultimately creates very low value. I recommend using a decent team that goes in for flow weaknesses as these are most responsible for significant findings...
I find that Literate Programming and being able to read through a nicely typeset, hyperlinked document with an index and ToC and marginal callouts of variable and routine names helps quite a bit in this.
That’s correct, but there is also something else, NASA has argued that their satellite imagery has shown an increase in the planet’s plant coverage as CO2 has increased, since to plants, CO2 is what not just oxygen is to us, but also in many ways like nourishment by absorbing the carbon from the air, which they use to grow.
"data security and rot resilience only goes for systems with ECC memory."

No. Bad HDDs/SSDs or bad SATA cables/ports cause a lot more data corruption than bad RAM. And ZFS will correct these cases even without ECC memory. It's a myth that the data healing properties of ZFS are useless without ECC memory.
This feels so much like an ad it hurts
