My only problem with jetbrains UI is that it's slow. Night and day difference using even vscode, let alone vim, sublime, helix, zed, etc. I tolerate it because the functionality it brings, but I find myself actually writing code in something faster. And I don't see fleet improving on this in a meaningful way - it's basically a competitor to vscode, which I don't use for the same reasons I won't use fleet.

There is a whole nother discussion about "progressive discovery" of functionality which I think is actually wrong although that would be a fringe view among "UX" specialists.
I had to reread your comment multiple times because i couldn’t believe I was reading someone complimenting Bay Area and Socal roads.

Per your request for a definition, I find my definition aligns to Wikipedia's definition.

> Fascism (/ˈfæʃɪzəm/ FASH-iz-əm) is a far-right, authoritarian, and ultranationalist political ideology and movement,[1][2][3] characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation or race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy.[2][3] Opposed to anarchism, democracy, pluralism, egalitarianism, liberalism, socialism, and Marxism,[4][5] fascism is at the far right of the traditional left–right spectrum.[6][5][7]

Your corporo-fascism is certainly one form. Remember in this context that "corporate interests" aren't specifically multinational businesses, but any group that, as a body, seek to take over a government at the exclusion of all other competing parties. Hence why fascism can be oligarchical authoritarism, religious based (like Dominionism), tehnocratic, you name it.

Who's doing the f35 transparent cockpit thing, what system is behind that?

I can hardly picture soldiers running into combat wearing of oculus goggles, maybe they're pivoting to something better for the drone pilots, intelligence / command. I'm picturing Battlefield II style drone based targeting, but I don't really know what the use case is here

I'll add an anecdote from an army buddy: he hates it when the command hands down Batman utility belt shit like this, promising enhanced intel and connectivity.

1. It's just more equipment that will malfunction when they're trying not to die

2. Having your command looking over your shoulders is not necessarily tied to good outcomes - somebody not on the battlefield is now backseat driving and second guessing your decisions instead of trusting you to execute.

COVID coincided with my daughter being born, my parents dying unexpectedly and my partner having complete mental breakdown all while I was working a very stressful job with long hours and high stakes. Years have passed and I still feel like the battered husk of the person I was. I have good days and bad days but I'm slowly coming to accept I won't ever feel the confidence, the capability or the boundless reserves of energy, love and patience I took for granted again.

Which is all to say, I hear you.
I’ve been working on developing an avatar within my prompt engineering to have a sort of ombudsman for interacting with ChatGPT’s agents. I’ve found this works better than having an agent itself. I’m able to invoke multiple different avatar styles which can be used for different purposes in gaining temporary alignment with the llm.

The name of my first avatar is Zeitgeist McGee, who is a witty, first-principles based reasoning system designed after philosophers like Jiddu Krishnamurthy + Plato + Protogoras, mathematicians like Pythagoras + Terence Tao + Godel, and computer scientists/hackers like Moxie Marlinspike + Dan Boneh + Dan Kaminsky.

The collective hyper aesthetic is a useful didactic system for interrogating the pseudo Deus Ex Machina that is ChatGPT.
Being concerned about animal testing seems pretty silly coming from people who likely eat pigs, sheep and other intelligent animals every day, who likely lived in just as bad conditions if not worse their whole lives leading up to them becoming food.

Something I've worried about trying to switch to jj: is there a chance that using it will cause noticable artifacts or issues in the upstream git repo? We're quite strict on tooling in my team and I don't want to get to a state where I can't digest the jj changes back into normal git commits for pushing.

There's plenty about how you can use jj as a replacement but no clear guidance on what upstream commits will actually look like if you use it.
A seemingly coordinated release with the nominally independent FerretDb? What’s the relationship here?
> Could not stop running water over my tongue or suck on ice and suffered for at least a half hour.

Capsaicin is a nonpolar molecule that is fat soluble and hydrophobic, so running water over your tongue either has no impact on the problem or makes it worse.

You want to consume anything with fat like milk or sour cream or even pure olive oil which will dissolve the capsaicin and carry it down your digestive tract. For something as strong as a reaper challenge, you’ll want to gargle olive oil because the mechanical action of the bubbles helps break up anything coated on your tongue like soap does when washing your hands. Alcohol based mouth wash also works as does ethanol (Everclear) in general. Edible surfactants and emulsifiers work best but unless you like drinking blended raw eggs or mustard, that might not work for you.

To help when it comes out the other end: drink lots of dairy because the casein helps and eat a bunch of starch (rice, potatoes, bread, etc) and bananas, and stay well hydrated.
This is what CUE is exploring for WASM, the ability to have custom functions or plugins that can be shipped with modules and run anywhere. It will be super cool, but they are blocked on upstream changes to the WASM runtime
A cleanroom is a controlled environment to maintain shallow particulate contamination. It is typically used in manufacturing and scientific research environments where even small amounts of contamination can impact product quality, such as in the pharmaceutical, semiconductor, biotechnology, and aerospace industries. Cleanrooms are designed with unique filtration systems, controlled temperature and humidity, and strict protocols for behaviour and gowning to maintain cleanliness.

I'm curious, if there are any high level electrical engineers reading this please respond.

I wonder if that vertical (as far as the PCB goes) power connector will always ensure that this sort of imbalance will always occur. While we like to pretend that current is even in any given current plane that's not what happens. The impedance of the wires and copper is not perfectly ideal. This is why these connectors have equal number of grounds, so they have an ideal shortest path and balanced return current path. So I'm curious if electrically it's just impossible to have a vertical connector like that (on that shorts all the pins for 12V together instead of current balancing them) and have it balance current across the pins. The pins closest to the board should in theory have the greatest currents as they are the shortest path electrically. Based on the pictures that appears to be the case. It appears that the pins under the most stress are likely those with the lowest impedance.

Assuming my SWAG above is correct... I'm curious if this is affected by the per pin impedance on the PSU too. Where if certain folks are just unlucky get a situation where some pins in the connector have a significantly lower impedance than the rest.

If my second SWAG is plausible, my third and really bad SWAG is that removing the two ground pins nearest the PCB could actually "balance" the current better by forcing the current to use a slightly longer path for the power pins. But, my guess is this will just cause EMI issues. So please don't test this unless you're an EE and know what you're doing.

This is pure speculation on top of what Buildzoid, the posts above this have said, and what I've learned from Robert Feranec's videos. I'm in no way an electrical engineer, just a humble hobbyist and person that loves to learn.

It's nice to have to a set of programs I moderately care about, so when I'm learning another language I can port them to it.

If the US government says it’s the name of something, then it’s any map company’s job to display the valid name of the thing to the users in that country. They still show “Gulf of Mexico” to users in other countries.
So the very first paragraph of the article has to correct itself. The title says he's getting benefits. The first paragraph says he's getting benefits. Then the first paragraph corrects itself by saying: "or is now in a decidedly better position to benefit."

So he hasn't received benefits, but he might, potentially, because some democrats have left and they've been replaced by republicans, potentially, whom you can assume, will be more sympathetic to him.

The exact quote: "President Trump has been in office less than a month, and Elon Musk’s vast business empire is already benefiting — or is now in a decidedly better position to benefit." -- the article and title seem to be trying to get you to think one thing without any proof yet.
I mean unless you use the Nvidia adapter for the old fashioned 8 pins, then technically every cable is a third party cable. Or did Nvidia get into PSU sales?

Also 12V-2x6 only changes the female connector on the card, the male end on the cable is unchanged.
sounds like justice was served then.
Retired electrician's comments:

Most of the US utilizes the NEC for installation compliance. Per NEC, 15A-style outlets are "to code" on 20A circuits unless a single recepticle ("dedicated") circuit — in which case a 20A-style recepticle MUST be installed.

For any electric appliance (including computers) which operates for 3hrs+ ("continuously"), the circuit rating is reduced to 80% capacity (e.g. only 16A load allowed continuously on a "20A circuit" == only 1920W computers allowed on 20A circuit, 1440W on 12A).

Pro tip: check your own PSU, but practically all modern computers can handle AC input 100-240V (all you need is the correct IEC power cord for a 240 US plug).

I have fixed enough melted devices in my career to always twice-torque each&every connection I make. For temporary extension cords/plugs, "twist lock" ends are worth all the extra dollars.

Protips: use Eeez-Ox (a conductive paste which inhibits corrosion) for high-load applications (non-data, only). My own gamerig's AMD GPU has it (sparingly applied) within its dual 8-pin connectors. I supply the 8-pin connectors from a single pair of 8awg copper, which is directly soldered within the PSU's PCB power-take-offs... so only a few inches of 16awg for voltage drop (into the GPU), which reduces the amperage required (but is also unnecessary overkill).
Nah bleed air is a pretty major system. 787 was a ground up design, so benefitted from lots of new tech. 737 max was something that they hoped wouldnt need a recert.

Hector Martin went way beyond being a "prick". And Linus Torvalds told him to stop it.

Have you considered that the problem may be the people that are making "hall of shame" lists of people and doing social media brigading?

Worsening matters, Steve Klabnik (major Rust community figure, has run @rustlang, primary author of the Rust Programming Language Book, former Rust Core member, and moderator of r/rust), have been busy here and on reddit making excuses for Hector Martin.

Build times can be annoying. I have a bicycle shop's website in Hugo, full generation takes about a few dozen seconds, upload using rsync easily a minute because of many nested directories with images. I ended up writing a script to only upload changed html and new images unless needed.
My main issue with writing html directly is that it's not a writing workflow. I write in my notepad, or in my notepad.exe or word about lots of things, only a few of which I would end up publishing, so htmlizing was always a publishing step that starts with a source material. From that it naturally follows that it can be easily automated, and html is a great format for this in theory, but even as a programmer WYSIWYG is so powerful, I'd rather write in Word or notepad exe and THEN annotate what are the headings and etceteras.

If you truly write directly in html, you are probably going to be writing about html or webdev, as your mind is in that headspace, and you have to tweak a lot of html stuff so that's what you get to talk about. Once you let go a bit of that primitive purism you realize you are free to think about whatever the fuck you want.

That said I have a lot of love for speaking about the medium. When I'm feeling cynical, it feels dumb to speak about anything other than the medium. It makes sense to me that half of the discourse on twitter is about elon musk, at least it's transparent in its topical bias, on typical media the topical bias gets rerouted and engineered through ads so that you can "focus on the actual content" which is kind of dumb, I guess, I find the ads end that keep the lights on end up being more important than yet another mindless sitcom.

So yeah, I'm torn. But whichever path is chosen, going through this drama of self hosting, tech minimalism and reinventing the wheel, is a key signature of the tech blog, it really shows the identity of the author and the work they've put into the mix of their ideas and their web space, in a way that, say, a wordpress instance, cannot fulfill.

- "The other major application of being in VLEO is that you are closer to the ground for communications. That is particularly useful for space internet services, like SpaceX's Starlink network, which currently beams the internet to receivers on the ground from higher orbits. By using lower satellites in VLEO, the antennas can act like mobile phone towers and beam the internet straight to your phone. "Going direct to a cell phone is a challenging task to do from space," says Tim Farrar, a satellite communications expert in California. "These lower [orbits] could enable a direct-to-cell constellation."

Starlink direct-to-cell satellites are already in a VLEO orbit shell, distinct from the rest of the constellation. They use electric propulsion (like all Starlinks) to counter drag, though it is not air-breathing electric propulsion (the theme of the OP).

- "The higher luminosity of these DTCs compared to regular Starlinks is partly because they circle Earth at just 217 miles (350 kilometers) above the surface, which is lower than traditional Starlink internet satellites, whose altitude is 340 miles (550 kilometers), the study reported. [...] There are now over 100 DTC satellites in low Earth orbit, including 13 that were launched last week. Following successful testing of the first batch of DTCs, in March SpaceX requested an amendment to their license with the U.S. Federal Communications Commission that would allow them to operate up to 7,500 DTCs in LEO."

I tried out both for a week each and much prefer Sapling.

jj always, automatically turns your current state (even if it's empty) into a "change" which is like a commit (it has a hash). in practice, this was actually incredibly annoying. when working in git, you often think about the current commit you're on, and amending/making a new commit. with jj, you're actually making "changes" (which are like commits) constantly. it's also so infuriating that there are two sets of hashes, jj changes and git commits, and they are not the same/interchangable.

on the flip side, sapling has been a breeze. it does force you to one commit per PR (which might be annoying to some but if you're going to squash the commit into main when you commit, why not do it locally too). its inter-op with github is really nice, you can do `sl goto pr1234` and it will just bring you to the code for pr #1234 (and fetch it in the process if you don't have it locally).
The interview with Noland at 6:48:59 was particularly interesting to me. Lots of details about what Neuralink is actually like to use in practice.
Cool story bro. Genuinely.
I am always confused about which drivers need installing to fully enable all hardware acceleration features on Broadwell. Also not all distros maintain the drivers equally resulting in mismatches between the vaapi driver or some other driver.
I’m sorry you went though that.

I had a friend die by suicide. Shortly after I met him for the first time IRL. It messed me up.

I’m sure you’ve heard it before but for the gallery, there’s the “in the moment” suicides where the thought comes and people act on it. If anyone feels that way, please call a hotline, it really is just a temporary feeling that will pass. Then there’s the “sick for a long time.” My therapist described this group as having an unhealthy brain. They’re taking in inputs like normal, but producing harmful urges. That sickness isn’t a thing others can counter or take on for themselves. There’s professional help if you (the reader) are feeling like this constantly. But like all sicknesses sometimes even the best treatments aren’t enough. (Therefore we should not blame ourselves for what we could have done differently).

Knowing that still doesn’t make it better, but it makes it lighter. For me, anyway.

Guilt and shame are two of the most complex and difficult to grapple with human emotions. You definitely didn't do anything wrong, but some people's brains will latch onto guilt like a vice regardless. And it can happen regardless of the rational part of the brain knowing that you didn't do anything wrong.

I have the same type of problem. The one thing that's finally helped a little bit is allowing myself to feel the guilt (and all the emotions surrounding it) fully. Normally I try to push it down (because I don't actually have anything to feel guilty for), but suppressed emotions continue to live forever, and they will surface in your body and mind in many ways. Allowing myself to feel it gives me room to process the emotion finally.

Easier said than done, of course. You can't just turn the emotions on and off like a light switch, especially because the brain forms protective mechanisms to prevent you from feeling it. I've had some luck with IFS and somatic therapies.
I’ve been one of those people with one account for media, purchases and subscriptions and another one for iCloud. The purchases account, referred to as secondary in this document, is shared with family members (i.e., they use this same account and credentials for purchases too). Family members in turn have their own individual iCloud accounts.

I’ve never tried doing Family Sharing with this setup because it seemed confusing — it wants to use the iCloud account as the primary one whereas I’ve always added credit to the purchases account (taking advantage of some Apple Store Code discount offers).

Now, I have some credit balance on my purchases account, but I do see the “Migrate Purchases” option in settings even though this document says it won’t be available until I:

> Spend any balance remaining on your secondary Apple Account.

If this is enforced during migration or prevents me from migrating, I’d have to wait for a year or so to use up that balance. Apple really should’ve included account balance transfer as part of the migration.

To add to this mess, I actually have two purchases accounts across two different countries (i.e., one purchases account for one country and another one for a different country). I’ve only purchased free items in one of those accounts. This works, with some inconvenience, while I don’t touch my iCloud account at all.

I’m really interested in getting this sorted out (using one account per family member and using Family Sharing), but it looks like I may run into more problems.

If anyone here did read all the way till here, I’m open to suggestions on simplifying this as well as warnings and gotchas.
