You see, there's the crux -- if one's a billionaire, one is obviously hoarding money as in not using any significant amount of it to the benefit of society and definitely not to help open-source which is the topic of FOSDEM. Otherwise one would not be a billionaire. By this logic, billionaires are off-topic to FOSDEM.

Thus what are billionaires doing speaking on FOSDEM?
It's not just the economic cost that is a consideration here. The military applications of AI are potentially staggering (as are the associated ethical concerns - but, as with any military tech, once someone does it and the advantages become clear, others will inevitably follow). No major power player is going to want to risk getting drastically outpaced by its primary competitors.

Note that this isn't a hypothetical, either. Israel is already using AI to pick targets. Ukraine is already using AI-controlled drones to beat jamming. There's no indication that either one intends to stop anytime soon, which tells the others that the tech is working for this purpose.

If you mean manufacturing vs tech sector, then yes; however much of manufacturing has become automated. I was referring to actual craftsmen crafting things. Point being, when people talk bad about capitalism, they’re not talking about artisans or craftspeople or other tradespeople plying their trade, they are referring to the system by which capital is accrued and hoarded by the owner class

I imagine the approach is some analogy of how you continue to love your adult child who suffers from a severe addiction and needs help, but is going to cause a lot of harm along the way to either recovery or self inflicted death. Try to improve outcomes when opportunities present themselves, but also protect yourself.
Not forgotten at all -- in fact, if your system has has a /tmp directory, it is almost certainly a RAMdisk.
You are conflating things, and then also making my argument, but are unnecessarily cantankerous so you just want to argue. Are you a Brit by any chance?

Have you ever seen the school books that Americans had to carry around? They were/are 2"/5cm thick books, weigh a few pounds each, and kids carried around about 6-8 per semester.

You made my point in that European school books are a lot less heavy and also less physically voluminous. The theory behind American books being that more spacing and less information per page makes learning easier, even though all the evidence clearly indicates that is very likely inaccurate.

Even though you are clearly one of those necessarily contrarian types for reasons that are your own, my point still stands that even if you had lockers for other reasons, the fact that school books in most European countries in which I have visited schools, utilize books that are a lot less heavy and are more information dense and can easily be carried around.

What is it with you types that you latch onto meaningless and nonsense things like that you did have lockers, while totally missing the core of the point, that the argument was about the weight and size of books??? That sounds like something you may want to think about.

Pretty much this or something like it, at least in my experience the last 30+ years.

Sales seems to attract folks who are highly 'coin operated'. The large majority (yes...always with the exceptions) really, deep down, don't care about how cool the tech is, or how it's going to change the world...they care about the game of sales and you keep score in the game by how much commission you earn. You really want the salesthing that comes in with "Forget about the salary or draw, I want a 100% commission comp plan" because that's someone who is confident enough in their ability to sell that they aren't worried about paying the mortgage or buying groceries.

Tangentially, one of the worst things I've seen a sales org do is cap commissions. All that incentivizes is "I hit my cap...ima gonna go hang out on my boat until next quarter because why work for sales I'm not going to get comp'ed on".

How I implemented a solution to use react-query with Remix's loader functions
It can but I don't think it is. I can't find direct stats (I mean I can find nominal but not equivalized/ social transfer adjusted figures) to compare but e.g. 1st quantile income cut-off in Sweden is 64% of the median while for first decile it's 49%

Utah on the other hand (surprisingly or not) has the highest first quintile mean (yeah.. slightly apples and oranges but gives an advantage to Utah) in the US, yet it's still only around 25% of the state median.

So if compare Utah to the national average and use:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disposable_household_and_per_c...
to compare it with Sweden

it's 62.30 * 1.28 (Utah vs US median in 2022) * 0.25 = $19.936

Sweden:

43.9 * 0.49 = $21.51, so a 1st decile Swede has higher PPP + social transfers adjusted income that the first quintile mean in Utah.

If course it's rather convoluted since I'm too lazy to find directly comparable data. Disregards (uses US PPP + social transfers instead of just Utah's etc.).

However I think it's broadly accurate(ish), considering that Utah has higher than average median income and the highest first quintile income all other states would do even worse.

Of course Eastern European states are poorer but Sweden is closer to the EU average than Utah is to the US average (and Sweden's GINI is around average in Europe while Utah's is the lowest in the US).
It certainly has an optimized kernel for its use case. I believe it also includes ZFS by default. I wouldn't be surprised if the Proxmox developers would prefer to upstream these defaults, but they likely would introduce regressions for the common use case that Debian optimizes for.

Ultimately, I use Proxmox as a hardware hypervisor only, so I don't mind that it uses its own kernel. Everything I run is in its own VM, with its own kernel that is setup the way I want.
No recession was ever caused by influx of foreign workers. But there are examples of the opposite, like USSR -- the most economically active people tried to move out, causing "brain drain" and exacerbating recession.

If anything, an influx of skilled workers is a symptom of growth, not recession.
ScantoGo
Heyy Hello, I’ve launched a new app called ScantoGo! . The idea behind the app came from a common issue I’ve experienced at supermarkets with point reward systems. Every time you make a purchase, they ask for your phone number to add points to your account. But it’s kinda a hassle to repeat your number every time, and there’s always the risk of it being entered incorrectly. With ScantoGo, I’ve simplified the process. The app lets you generate a barcode for any value you want, such as your phone number or a custom ID which you can scan at checkout. No more repeating your number, no mistakes, and no missed points! It’s fast, convenient, and stress-free for both customers and cashiers. Please check it out and would love to hear what you people think about it if its a good idea !!!
Remember Jim B. scoffing at how you had to plug an iPhone in every night? And how much more efficient BlackBerrys were with data?

Steve knew that the customers did. not. care. And that the carriers would build more cell stations if they had to.
There were only 2 ejection seats, enough for the crew of test flights but not the larger crew of operational flights.

The seats were only installed in Enterprise (the prototype, used only for suborbital tests) and Columbia (only enabled for STS-1 through STS-4 test flights, disabled for STS-5 the first operational flight)

The seats would only work at low altitude and speed (I've seen differing numbers cited). For the Challenger disaster they would've theoretically been useful (ignoring all the other factors), but they would've been useless for Columbia due to speed.

And it's not clear ejection would have actually been successful with the SRBs still active and right there.
Yeah, I hate that JS can do it too. Website bloat is a problem we should be fixing, not accepting. Have you tried to browse the web on a "budget laptop" lately?

* Local government announcements

* OpenWRT updates (subscribed to the releases/announcements forum)

* Price trackers for things I want to buy eventually but can wait until they go on sale (keepa, appagg)

* The Money Stuff newsletter (via kill-the-newsletter)

* Comics like XKCD

* Book authors I like (mostly via RSSBridge + goodreads)

Dynamic pricing. It's the holy grail of sales. Other stores have opted for simpler technology like e-ink tags. This was a pretty big leap.
Your argument seems logical but the conclusion is wild, and I’m pretty sure extremely wrong. What other design choices, SpaceX made have been more significant for capturing 70% of all rocket launches in the world?

> It's still an issue that essentially all sites are required* to include a cookie banner of some kind. IIRC the EU law even claims jurisdiction over sites in other countries that only serve local audiences, on the notion that an EU national might visit the website.
>
> * "Required" here defined as "materially everyone, including the web developers at the EU, interprets the law this way."

This is all commonly believed but isn't accurate. The only reason the web developers at the EU (correctly) feel like they need to ask for some kind of consent is because they want to use that consent to process visitors personal data beyond the scope of the essential cookies which I was describing. For cookies within only the essential scope, they wouldn't need consent or a banner at all, unless some law other than the GDPR requires proactive in-your-face disclosure of the fact that cookies are being set at all.

The relevant consent doesn't have to be gained through a banner, but at least the EU websites' implementation doesn't involve dark patterns of making it easier to grant consent than refuse it.

As for claiming jurisdiction over sites in other countries, a slightly simplified version of the rule in GDPR Article 3 is that they claim jurisdiction over such sites when they are targeting people in the EU, or when they are processing the data in the EU, or when they are an EU company processing the data outside of the EU. They do not claim jurisdiction over foreign sites that only serve foreign audiences, and they even give examples like that in their official guidance.

To give one clear example right here: The GDPR does not generally apply to the case where someone in the EU visits a US-based website of a ski resort in the US, not even if they purchase a ticket via the website from the EU. By contrast, if the ski resort sets up a .eu website, translates their site into major EU languages that aren't very common in the US, allows purchasing in euros and via EU-centric payment methods like SEPA bank transfer and other methods specific to various EU countries, and so on, they're clearly targeting people in the EU so then the GDPR would apply.

And so much unofficial guidance has inaccurately stated that nationality or citizenship is what determines GDPR rights. The most official sources, and the better unofficial sources, are clear that the location of the data subject matters but not their nationality or citizenship. An EU citizen doesn't get any more GDPR rights while in the US than someone who isn't an EU citizen.

Why Senior Engineers Should Stay ICs
>(the Falcon 9 also is the second iteration of the Falcon rockets, not the ninth, so…)

Falcon 9 has nine first stage engines, Falcon 1 had a single engine. It's not a version number.

Edit: I had to look it up because Saturn 1 is not a single engine vehicle. It turns out that the Saturn V is design C-5 of the Saturn family of rockets, with A, B and C1-4 designs preceding it (not all designs where built), so the "V" in Saturn V is basically a version number, despite the Saturn V first stage having 5 engines
People always have this argument that it's hard to port for it because it's so underpowered. But ultimately, games like Balatro or Neon White absolutely shine on Switch, while extremely graphic intensive games like Indiana Jones and his Big Circle cannot run

Nintendo has correctly decided that if it can attract all the low requirements indie titles plus offer its own games, then it has an extremely compelling product. Which it does, it outsold Sony and Microsoft combined.
Any image manipulation program like photoshop with layers, you put the suspect images on top of one another and use filters to subtract one layer from the other (I'm not sure which filter operation works best, it might be multiply or divide) and then work to align the two layers. Differences and similarities become extremely obvious.

You can also get the raw pixel information by converting to a bitmap and comparing values, but it's easier visually because it's pretty trivial for a simple image modification to change all of the pixel values but still have the same image.
I would think another issue for a lot of existing large VMware customers is NSX (incl. dynamic firewalling), orchestration (vRA/vRO), vROPS, and the gazillion integrations that have been built with tight coupling at both ends. Swapping that out is not an easy task, and the "digital transformations" some of the available products are banking on take a lot of time in real life.

Seriously, whistleblowing is a very high stress situation. Many whistleblowers have already been driven into behavior that they feel is unethical which results in https://www.openarms.gov.au/signs-symptoms/moral-injury which is one of the worst risk factors for severe psychological distress in soldiers returning from combat.

Also whistleblowing endangers one's future career. I've had experiences with people who said the wrong things to the wrong people and created a lot of trouble for everyone including themselves and the people they told. Based on those experiences my wife and I are wary about people who aren't discreet, not just in N=1 social and business connections but also people who are a few steps removed.

Sustainable organizations have some sense of inside and outside and an instinct to protect themselves. The form in the mafia is extreme https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omert%C3%A0 but it is predictable that a person who's taken those steps will have difficulty finding employment.

It's why we have rules like

https://www.whistleblowers.org/whistleblower-protections-and...

because a person in that situation probably will never get enough good paying job.

That said, I think it is a very risky move to off somebody, efforts to cover it up might not work and would result in much more trouble than the organization started with. I remember a private eye from a non-fiction book from the 1970s who said conspiracies work like this; you should think of 2=1+1=11, and 3=1+1+1=111 and 4=1+1+1+1=1111 and such for the danger of a secret being revealed as more people are in on it.

That's not true at all. Most cookie popups are compliant with GDPR - they're still annoying.

That's a big gotcha - ZFS is non-free so of course it cannot be part of Debian proper. Hopefully we'll get feature parity via Btrfs or Bcachefs at some point in the future.
The obvious question to me is why pornography? There is _a lot_ of content on the internet potentially harmful for kids, from political radicalisation through drug apologies to brutal violence. Is viewing pornography worse than seeing the aftermath of a shooting?

It seems very clear that if one really wants to protect children, enforcement of protection should go somewhere else - banning kids access to unlimited devices for example. But this is not the intention of course. No one is blamed for handing a toddler a phone with TikTok on.
The program abort()s if the reallocation fails. But indeed, for an educational example, it's not good to be too smart.

I believe the test if(!num_lines) is unnecessary, because reallocating a NULL pointer is equivalent to malloc(). This is also a bit "smart", but I think it is also more correct because you don't use the value of one variable (num_lines is 0) to infer the value of another (lines is NULL).

To go further, an opened-ended structure like:

struct
{
unsigned count;
char* lines[];
};

... could also be preferable in practice. But actually writing good C is not the topic of TFA.
I'm glad you are having success, but B2C is wildly different than B2B. I can't think of any B2C company that could do calls with customers. The economics don't make sense. Instead they use large advertising buys to communicate, one way, with current and prospective customers
I would explain it to you, but there are topics that simply cannot be discussed, regardless of how correct, important, and critical they are. I may as well try to tell you about the heliocentric model in the 17th century.

I did a 30 day trial of Waking Up, gifted from a friend who also finds it life-changing.

I did my best with it, but it didn't change my life. It was fine; sitting quietly for ten minutes a day is probably a good idea.

I appreciated that he tried to avoid using woo-woo language, but I often didn't understand what he was going for. That's probably inevitable: he's trying to induce a state that you can't get a feel for until you've done it. (I'm reminded of learning to whistle. I put my lips together and blew, and kept doing that until suddenly it worked, but I could not tell anybody what made that instant different.)

I will say, though, that I often thought "If Sam Harris heard some yoga teacher say that, he'd rip them a new one."

It is entirely possible that I'd see more benefit if I continued past the 30 day trial. Clearly it works very well for some people; I'm certain that there's a "there" there. It's definitely better than trying to gaze into my soul through the backs of my eyeballs (which I did in fact hear from a yoga teacher).
I agree that the law could and should be improved. I feel that having the law is still better than not having it, because there is at least a way to know what awful tracking is occurring, a way to decline it, and a way to assert some rights to at least some partial degree of effectiveness. There is a basis from which to improve the law, instead of having to start from scratch.

This is by far too much for Netanyahu to backtrack, the next president of the USA already made promises that the deal is sealed, and Netanyahu spent the last 15 months telling his base that this kind of deal is not worth it, to go all of this way angering his base and putting his coalition in that risk for nothing will be very odd for me even for Netanyahu
Thanks for checking out fruitstand! I was recently working on a project that involved doing intent detection/entity extraction using an LLM. I was asked how we could make it so that the model could be changed/upgraded in the future without impacting the function. After a bit of thinking, this is what I came up with.

For anyone who is interested in how this works, it's pretty straightforward. The baseline creates an embedding for the outputted phrase and stores it in the json file. The test then runs the same phrase through the tested llm/model and the embeds the results.

The results of the baseline and the test are then compared with a cosine similarity so determine the similarity.

It was a pretty fun library to write!
I have to share that my career as a software engineer started with Windows Phone. They used to give super nice Nokia phones out if you made an app. And free backpacks :)

Developing for Windows phone was easy as drag and drop. I honestly think no other native platform had that good of a DevEx. If you were already an app developer, I can see how it's hard to learn something new. But if it was your first time, this was prolly the easiest platform to start.

Eventually the platform died, and I found a career with Xamarin using a similar stack (C#, XAML) and built for other platforms as well.

I miss Windows Phone. Honestly some of the cleanest devices ever built with the carl zeiss lens and raised screen.

Ammonia is NH3, there's no CO2 to store.

Except they are talking about using it as a fuel. If you want to displace CO2 at least use methanol, it's a liquid that's more energy dense and easier to handle safely.
