I did the same. I used to have iStat Menus running all the time, until i took a good look at how many resources it actually consumed showing me things i never looked at.

These days i keep Little Snitch's network monitor around, which i actually do look at sometimes, though mostly to get a glance at where my traffic is going.
Nice initiative!

However, few points to consider:

- Emerging market regulations can turn from funny to ugly to utterly ridiculous pretty fast. Problem is that most emerging markets see FIAT to stablecoin as a flight to capital and currency depreciation. Think about India, Brazil, SA, Pakistan or any other emerging market with dense population, you might see the same regulator mindset

- In any market, if this kind of pegging becomes freely available, than I am pretty sure that one currency to other in physical or digital way would also be very free flow. for example, in UAE, AEd to USD is super easy and takes 10 seconds on any banking app. So unless your goal is to trade, there is no reason to use stable coins instead of just putting in the dollar amount agianst your local currency

- Lastly, exchanges have a very large KYCed audience, and they have a very hardcore focus on the P2P markets where they can. If regulators & local volume permit, they will be the first to jump in with heavy marketing budgets.

I would be closely following this, and wish you success

I have also tried cheaper dedicated sound cards, such as soundblaster z - these don't really differ much from onboard ones and are not worth it.
The story is rare and interesting, sure. And you get to attach that story to 1-5 lots of cards before it gets real old and the value of those cards craters.

With legitimate prototype cards, you can have thousands of them retain value.
It's worth pointing out that Lennart Poettering simply rubbed some people the wrong way in his communication, and that ended up reflecting on systemd, irrespective of the software itself. (I am not making a case that this is good or bad, right or wrong. Just pointing it out.)
I’ve answered questions on the internet for decades. I enjoy helping people, especially when it’s about a hobby we share.

I think it is well past being worried and instead look to alternatives.
Right. And people conflate the issue. Especially go developers. They can’t see the difference.

They naturally create folders based off of semantic meaning instead of packaging. Then they hit the dependency issue and they think creating the folder was a domain modeling problem when really they just created the folder based off of semantic meaning and not dependencies.

The whole thing has confused go developers. They think putting things into the right folders actually has some deeper design meaning when really it’s just to make it easier for humans to find shit.
At least we can agree it is (T, E) and not (T or E).
> that’s stupid because people don’t typically use folders as if they were packages. Folders are typically used just to categorize things of similar meaning or naming or whatever you want

You might do that. That does not mean everyone organizes things like this.

What your chicken/egg example fails to realize is that things rarely just belong in one category. Chickens can be animals or food.

To me it just sounds like you are trying to write another language while using Go. Of course you will see problems. Just as you would see problems trying to write Go code when using Java.

In the end it comes down to this: if the language does not fit your mental model on how to do things, don't use it. But don't go around shitting on the language just because you are used to using folders differently than other people. Using a language also means learning and using the conventions of that language.

82,150 gallons of paint later, a Blue Man Group farewell Jan. 30
So a lot here that I disagree with. You start out by pointing out how much more information humans ingest, but there's no reason why amount of information ingested leads to a fundamentally different organism. In the exact same way, I eat a lot more food than an amoeba, but we're still both animals. Scale doesn't make a difference.
The idea that human emotions are somehow unique from thoughts needs to be proven to me. IMO emotions are just thoughts that happen too quick for language. This discretization of the human experience is unnecessary, and like I said before it would be immediately challenged in a philosophy setting. So would your claim that humans exhibit some kind of reasoning or morality that’s distinct and unique. Modern philosophy is quite clear that this is bullshit. I was just reading Nietzsche today and I can feel him rolling over in his grave right now.

Also, the base of machine learning centers around simulating emotions: if the AI does something good, it's rewarded. If it does something bad, it's punished. We created the whole algorithm by simulating Freud's pleasure principle and who are we to say that the simulation is any different from the real thing?
> It's not surprising to me that people who are focused on technology and AI would anthropomorphize machines, and then claim that (because they aren't aware of how the brain works) "we don't know how the brain works." I had similar beliefs, as a software engineer.
Well I'm actually much more knowledgeable about humanities than I am about tech, and IMO the tech world is at the forefront of making our abstract philosophical understanding of the brain concrete. Neural networks and LLMs are the most successful method of creating cognition. I'm sure we'll find that there's a lot more to do, but this could very well be the fundamental algorithm of the brain, and I don't see any reason to discount that by saying what you've been saying in this comment thread.
I like go, and I use it to get stuff done. I'd be able to get stuff even more done with sum types and pattern matching and better generics and iterator tools and it's a shame Go doesn't have these things.

Apple does it one way, Google does the same thing but another way. Instead of locking everything down, preventing you to use any other browser than safari for instance, they push you to use their spyware. Android might be open source, but the Google play services are not and if you ever tried to do anything without them, you'd know it's impossible.

Both tracks you by forcing you to use their app that works as spyware.

> may be considered weird

It may. I don’t think that’s the consensus view though and again something being well-known doesn’t make it the consensus.

I’m not saying that WHO’s and IAEA‘s figures are perfect and flawless but they aren’t widely challenged either.
This is a poorly written article. They can't even get basic figures right. See Unspecified “U.S. tax credits” were good for $300 billion of tax savings. It should have been $300 million. Seems to be a psyops by an incompetent writer against Elon.
>Besides all this, the main issue, for me, is how it managed to spread and ingrain itself into distributions making them dependent on it.

I don't think the phrasing is correct. Your choice of word (spread/ingrain itself) seems to imply there is malicious intent. Software do not sneak itself into distribution by themselves. It is the other way around. Distribution creators have total freedom on what components/software they find useful to build their distributions on. If a majority of distros decided to use systemd, that mean a majority of people maintaining distributions found the positive outcomes of using systemd were worth dealing with any disadvantage it may had over using another solution.

> Can anybody explain to me again why systemd is so bad ?

it isn't, it's great. it is different, though.

and then come in two phenomenon:

1. people resist to change, often out of ignorance.

2. some people tend to look at tradition and consider it just better, without much reason. "unix systems in the 80ies had shell scripts to launch system services, that's what i shall do in the 2020ies".

> Yes, it is maybe monolithic (but so is the Linux kernel).

it really isn't, it's largely a collection of relatively small binaries that do one thing well but they are designed to work with each other. systemd appears to be monolithic from outside, but it really isn't.

> Maybe some of them will get bloated as they achieve feature parity.

they will, most likely. it's easy (as a piece of software) to be lean and clean when you're doing very little (with little error checking and recovery).

> However I can't understand why systemd is the point of so much disagreement.

systemd was essentially pushed down everybody's throat by Red Hat when they realized it was high time to level up the boot process for the whole ecosystem. systemd made a bunch of things not only feasible (concurrency, on-demand service activation, multiple-instances of the same service running, proper log management) but so easy they're trivial.

so 10+ years, it's definitely a net positive.

some people are still complaining but meh, some people will complain anyway, so let them talk, whatever.

Evolution just means change, and it includes genetic drift. In common parlance, 'evolution' generally implies improvement, but that's not the technical definition.
Corporate tax is quite misunderstood in my opinion.

Tesla makes revenue, and they have costs. Their revenues are offset by their costs.

Any profit Tesla makes is eventually taxed -- either when Tesla shareholders sell appreciated stock, when the company makes distributions or when they liquidate.

Corporate tax only applies to un-distributed profits carried forward from year to year instead of invested into the business or distributed to shareholders.

> resolved, networkd, timesyncd

None of these are mandatory though. It's up to the distros whether to use them. For example at this point resolved is pretty commonly enabled by default, networkd not at all, and timesyncd is perhaps 50-50 with chrony.
Almost. There are a million tools like this, but most "don't get it". The problem with TablePlus, DataGrip and most other GUIs for databases or even Airtable clones like NocoDB or VisualDB is they lack the 3 core features I want. Atleast this tool has 2 of the 3, which is already an improvement to anything else I know of.

1. Ability to view relationships inline. It's shocking that most GUIs for databases don't do this. I don't want to see a foreign ID, I want to see a sample of the related row. Glad this tool gets it.

2. Filtering and grouping and views. Not simple SQL WHEREs but easy filters. And grouping by header. This is what made Airtable king. Glad to see it is covered here.

3. AI-generated queries and reports. Sorry, but it's 2025 and you release a product without AI? It's now trivial to generate correct SQL queries and graphs based on natural language. Why doesn't any mainstream tool do this? See for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ooWaPVvljlU

Having all of these 3 core features together in the same tool would be the holy grail for me in database management.

Sounds great. I've been working with kotlinx-date time for a few projects on both the JVM and in browsers using kotlin-js. Because this is a multiplaform library that needs to work on multiple platforms it sort of is stuck with the lowest common denominator; which on kotlin-js was the old Date API.

The way this kotlin library works is that it implements a modern API that uses the underlying platform rather than re-implementing a bunch of things. This is mostly not a bad decision but it does have its limitations. One of the limitations is that not all platforms exposes a sane way to e.g. resolve timezones by their name and localize times while taking into account e.g. day light saving. Fixing that basically requires dealing with the time zone database and not all platforms expose that.

I ran into this recently. I managed to work around it as this is something you can dig out of existing browser APIs but it was annoying having to deal with that. Unfortunately there are probably a few more obstacles on other Kotlin platforms.

Just to add to this. Pain is further associated with the fear-terror-excitement response axis, which can be thought of as the ability to anticipate and remember pain/loss and ramp metabolism in response. Fight-or-flight basically.

This is more developed in mammals and birds, warm-blooded animals can turn their metabolism up and down at will as part of their survival strategy. All vertebrates have it to some extent, but e.g. quadrupeds can run faster, most birds can only choose to fly or not at all.

My take-away is that we should be more concerned about how we treat animals that are very clearly capable of a wide range of emotions, and which humanity currently treats extremely poorly - pigs and cattle especially.
