Tangential: The story of the discovery of the cause of Narcolepsy is fascinating [1], [2], [3]

TL;DR: Narcolepsy is an autoimmune disorder caused by the destruction of the approximately 70,000 neurons that are responsible for producing the neurotransmitter orexin. [2]

A key piece of evidence was data analysis that showed a correlation between seasonal flu epidemic in China and subsequent new narcolepsy diagnoses. [1]

I think GP got confused, it's not running the runners locally, it's running the CI steps locally (see the other sibling replies).

For example, running tests locally exactly the same way as in the runner - sometimes I have to open a debugger in the middle of a test to see what exactly went wrong. Our tests run in gitlab in a particular docker image, and I've been adding a "make test" that runs the same tests in the same image locally, with additional flags to have full interactivity so the debugger works if needed.
I did the same with a Sony A80L, which also runs Google TV. I even uninstalled the bundled streaming apps for good measure, although I never see the home screen.

I find that fairly often if I'm really wrestling with a novel or difficult problem, I will work and work at it, and then one day I will wake up with the answer fully formed with no clear understanding of any of the thought processes that got me to arrive at the solution.

Are you going to record peoples subconscious as they sleep, how do you train on something that is so poorly understood in the first place? It's nonsense.
Permabears do sometimes make good points but being permanent bears they're almost always wrong in aggregate, because they only ever have the same economic perspective, which happens to be the opposite of how things have played out (at least in the US) for almost one hundred years now.

To square that circle usually they have to turn to conspiracy theories, or dabble in economics just deep enough to skew it as unsustainable but not so deep that they understand how it actually works (see quantitative easing, FRB, "petrodollar", etc.).

Maybe (definitely) I've just spent too much time on the Internet because to me the whole "secret recession" stuff is just tired and wrong at this point. It's been over 15 years since the GFC. This kind of perspective feels stuck in the 2012 "ugh I got a college degree and now I work in a restaurant" Internet, when there have actually been several employment/growth booms since then.
Fascinating article. Never heard of this. There's a (likely mentally ill) dude in Atlanta who puts up these conspiracy signs on the highways about the "annunaki". He put up some about "Shadow Zuck" and "Vampire Elon" over Christmas.
>though I'm not aware of a decompiler that lets you edit decompiled code

DnSpy lets you do this (that's why I was careful to prefix decompilers with "native"in my answer). You can edit snippets of decompiled C# code directly inside. But vm based runtimes are much easier to decompile/recompile, and it still may not work in the end.

Though programs compiled to intermediate code are in general very different to analyze, so that's kind of nitpicking.
> they've probably also been stripped, structurally compromised, and contaminated with hazardous materials, and already sheltering squattors, and would need to be cleared, cleaned up, demolished, and have new housing built,

Seems like you’re looking for any and all reasons to establish such a high standard for any housing for homeless people that literally sleep on the ground on top of a plastic bag that creating housing for them is too expensive.

In my opinion, this type of analysis is that the root of the problem. There is no perfect solution, but building high quality housing meeting the latest standards of the city planning committee for 1% of the homeless while leaving 99% out on the street is not a useful solution.

There's a bitter joke about privatizing profits and socializing losses. It's not exactly true, but it's depressingly close.

It's not entirely incoherent to be prepared to backstop losses when they would become systemic. But that mandates limits on risk, or it just tells people that the joke is actually reality. Balancing that requires constant vigilance... which corporations deter by calling it "socialism".
On the Chinese side it's good business to appeal to the cesspool, because that's what Western platforms are also doing, and succeeding at.

If they ran TikTok in the West they same way they do in China, with as many quality of life and content restrictions, it wouldn't work.

One might argue that that enforcing screen time limits, maybe age requirements, and having algorithms prioritize educational (and propaganda) content would result in a better, healthier and less toxic social media environment but many Americans would consider that nanny-state censorship and mind control and such an app wouldn't be as entertaining or popular.

The only reason it works in China is a degree of authoritarian control over media that isn't (currently) legal here. I don't doubt that given a more free market TikTok would be forced to regress to the same mean.

The tsunami of burnout may be coming - but will it really matter to those creating it? We’re actively moving towards cheaper labor markets and replacing jobs with automation. It seems that the only way to get your piece of the pie in this market is if you find something that you can solve or do cheaper. Cheaper often means replacing and displacing current workers. Great benefit to the company and stockholders, not so much to society. Everything is driven by profit for those who already have more than they need.

For multiple users on the same server it was IMO well designed. Everyone had their ~ and could place whatever libraries/binaries/etc. in there and do whatever they wanted.

Package managers are way more modern than that and their design does by itself not require root (see pip). You can in fact run most package managers without root, you just won't be able to modify system files. You can use them to install a chroot as regular user, e.g. `zypper --installroot ~/tw install bash`.

FUSE doesn't really relate to single vs. multi-user AFAICT.

Users are perfectly sandboxed if you configure the system that way. Depending on the distribution that's even the default.

This is really cool, just tried it with a recent hike ( https://cubetrek.com/view/362602 ). Strava has a really basic 3d visualization but it's from a fixed angle which isn't very useful. Being able to move around and the replay mode are really neat. I was confused a little about the flame effect on the route before I realized it was matching my mouse on the other charts.

I second the request to be able to visualize routes without timing, it'd be awesome to take some route I have planned out in caltopo and view it here.

Also it seems like not quite what you're aiming for but I already have a few places I can (and sometimes do) upload these for the sharing/community/diary aspect (strava and peakery) and it would be cool to have some sort of integration where I could visualize activities from there without having to download/upload the GPX. Maybe I really need some kind of GPX multiplexer to upload stuff from my GPS to all the different places it could go :).

Given the tone and wording of your comments I hesitated to even reply but, alas, my love for PHP was strong enough to push me through.

You are, actually, doing it wrong.

I forgive you, being that you're clearly not familiar with modern PHP and it's incredibly mature and diverse library ecosystem and first class package manager.

> However, it seems it is just a search stupidity ...

You're searching a list of thirty (30) functions. I don't even know how you found that list of functions but, surely, you don't think that's an exhaustive place to search for a specific date format? Surely you're not being purposely obtuse. (As you likely found, if you just plop your search term in the search at the top of the PHP website you would have found the DateTime class and how to handle these various formats)

Anyway - for anyone who may happen across this odd chain of comments, dealing with dates in PHP is an actual breeze using Carbon\Carbon.

The problem is, what do you do once you spend up all your savings on a 1 year vacation? You have to go back, eventually, and it will happen again.

Ephemeral, Secure, ZK sensitive data sharing
Hello everyone, I’d like to introduce *crypt.fyi*, an open-source, secure, and ephemeral secret-sharing platform for safely sharing sensitive information. Unlike email, Slack, or SMS, crypt.fyi ensures your data is private and disappears once accessed. It also offers additional configuration features like IP/CIDR allow-listing, max read-counts, and webhooks for extra control over your shared secrets.

Existing tools like privatebin, pwpush, onetimesecret, etc. left something to be desired from a UX/I standpoint and/or had some missing security, privacy and/or product features, so my goal with crypt.fyi is to combine modern security with clean, intuitive interfaces and novel features. It includes a CLI and browser extension for easy integration into your workflow, making it simple to share passwords, API keys, and confidential messages securely and in-context.

Self-hosting is easy with Docker and Docker Compose. Feel free to fork it or try it out—your feedback is welcome!

https://github.com/osbytes/crypt.fyi

I don't think they said that - they are saying it is good business on the American side.

The Chinese government restricts all social media in China - it isn't aimed at Western Apps. China allows social Apps where the government can censor content and the government has other means to control dissidence.

The privacy problems were catastrophic - the Google CDN fed directly into Google’s pervasive tracking infrastructure.

Most other CDNs similarly support tracking services.

As the article says the actual cost of partitioning is negligible, the cost of not partitioning is that nothing can prevent cross site tracking and invasion of privacy.

VPNs and extensions don’t work because the browser is ensuring your identity is constant. That’s why the large ad networks funded free/cheap CDNs.

> However there are some rare ones where it fails.

As I said in my previous comment, those cases are very very often cases where the compialtion model is broken, and it's held together by luck.

> Every attempt to fix those last ones breaks some other rare case

My experience (and I have experiences of this) have been that the cases where pragma once fails, other tools (source control, built tools) cause "random" problems that usually are hand waved away with "oh that problem, just run this other makefile target that someone has put together to clear that file and rebuild".

> or profilings shows significant compile time increases.

Again, my experience here has been that the compile time change is usually a result of a broken project model, and that there are other gotchas like "oh you can only include files a.h and c.h but if you include b.h then you'll break the internal build tool". Also, that taking the hit to make your build correct unlocks optimisations that weren't possible before.

Also, the projects that have these kinds of warts are usually allergic to doing anything new whatsoever, making any changes or improvements, upgrading compilers and libraries. I suspect using C++17 is enough to scare them off in many cases.

If it's good enough for QT or LLVM, it's good enough for me.
The buyer of that pool of loans will be an institutional investor with an allocation for that kind of risk. Depending on the state of the market, the pool might be sold at a discount or a premium which may attract/deter certain investors.

Separately, pooling loans generally makes the aggregate product less sensitive to default risk because you're talking about many loans instead of just one.

The core of Java was being written in the late 1990s. I had a machine in 1995 that had 16MB of memory but 8MB was more typical for Pentium machines. By 2000 the AMD Athlon and Pentium 3 were the latest and greatest and Anandtech was testing with 128MB of memory [1].

Java defines an int as 32 signed, it doesn't do anything else it calls 16 bit ints shorts. So it definitely has to be 8GB for the array.

Sun was using Solaris machines rather than PCs and they were higher spec on things like memory but still I doubt they had 2GB let alone 8GB+ needed to run this test. That sort of memory didn't become routine for another decade where Sandy Bridge was being tested with 8GB in 2011 [2].

Also goes to show how much things have stagnated, a desktop computer with 16GB has been standard for a long time. The preceding decade we went from 128MB to 8GB as normal and the next 15 years to today normal is 16-32GB which is no where near the same place of progress of memory density.

I would argue you’re still caring too much. If you can abstract your care into another project either at the company or in your personal time the crappy product won’t matter.

This is what drains him and leads to burnout.
