I've always vaguely wondered how the US knows who to tax, if they have no complete, trustworthy register of who the citizens are and where they live. It presumably works, I just don't understand how.
Nice, they include some model weights. The video examples seem to have some temporal flickering.

I think they are may be simpler solutions but there is SWAG
https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-swag
that have built in config for proxying Jellyfin. It have all the necessary settings for proxy and built-in Letsencrypt client so you do not have configure it yourself.
I have a script written that do `docker compose down && docker compose pull && docker compose up -d` that runs every now and then so it keeps itself up to date (SWAG, Jellyfin and others).

Again there are probably easier options to get it running but in my case most of it runs on docker so (in theory since I had no major outages just a few times I migrated hardware) moving/restoring from backup is relatively easy - copy all the files and run `docker compose` in each directory.

Yes it does because ZeMarmot producers are the main contributors to Gimp's code.

You might be onto something, I noticed that all the banned links were in the format:

https://signal.me/#eu/fdy5h1miMifXa...

The URL hash (the part after #) is often not considered by automated systems to be a part of URL that's meaningful, because hash is normally only used for addressing parts of the website that was loaded based on the previous part of the URL. If a particular Signal.me link was flagged for whatever legitimate reason (contained malware or illegal content) it's entirely reasonable that an automated system would strip the hash and block the whole domain (because the path part in this URL is just "/" and nothing else).

It'll be interesting to see whether they address and reverse it. If not, then we can be fairly sure this was intentional.
I've seen FNIRSI products in videos by Matthias Wandel (woodgears.ca) on his second channel after the company sent some of them for free to test. They compare relatively well, especially for the price but are be no means perfect. I assume they're still a rebadged letter soup product, but they seem to be trying to get some recognition for the name.
Agree. Good reasons, not worth elaborating here.

It's entirely consistent with Musk's character I observed the last couple of years.
I didn't try Caddy yet, but to me there are obvious downsides to nginx due to which i'd like to run away from it eventually. First and foremost: slow query detection. Out of the box, it doesn't allow you to do that easily, you either need to hack your own log format (and parse it), or to get a paid version. Another is simple stuff like log rotation (access.log/error.log). Could just use journald, but it doesn't. There are others, but these are enough to find a better alternative.
:_( What key should I press to pay respect? I think it might get jammed though...
"it never gets easier, you just get faster", or so the saying goes
Many libraries in the UK and Commonwealth countries have the full volume set the first, second, or both editions of the OED.

I've routinely referenced it in both the university library and the local town library since 1980.

There's been a digital version of almost all of the second edition kicking about since just prior to the print release of the second edition - I have that on most computer images I own.

The OED offers digital subscription access to the second edition and to the in progress third edition which a good number of people, libraries, companies subscribe to.

It's the dictionary of reference for those serious about the English language.

I’ve always relied heavily on Maps review but for me trust was broken few weeks ago. I went in a restaurant with thousands of reviews averaging 4.6. Food was good but not amazing, service was super kind and proactive but nothing special to deserve a 4.6 in Paris. We understood the trick at the end of the meal. Waiters kindly ask to scan a QR to make a review. You end up on a third-party landing page and if you select 4 or 5 stars you were redirected to Maps, otherwise they simply take your random-internet stars and buried them forever in this landing page. Clever.
> Most of us--hopefully--don't know someone who's corrupt.

Unfortunately, I think this is just a comfortable illusion that most of us choose to believe.

Between https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/bribery-rates?tab=table&t... and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corruption_Perceptions_Index, I think it's fairly likely almost everyone both knows personally someone corrupt, and has done business with someone who is corrupt, even in the UK, Germany, and the USA.
Hmm I feel this might just be nostalgia at play. I've not played any Anno games, but comparing the two side-by-side and 1800 looks leaps & bounds better to me. 1602 looks like it was drawn in MS Paint.
It reminds me about Barthes studium (applying yourself to gain skills) and punctum (applying your skills to make your masterpieces) in photography.

I think we have the feeling of "gaining years of experience in a few months", when we experience multiple skills we developed coalesce into a synergic unity that enables rapid growth. The author touches it too:

> To be honest, the whole process felt the final exam after my then 6 years spent at the company. To get the expected results I really had to leverage all my skills and energy.

It's worth noticing that all the progress in his diagram measures one dimension, but this is a sour recipe to measure life as it pushes yourself beyond your boundaries into burnout. It's much better to measure things using Pareto frontiers: pick up the important dimensions that you want to measure a decision or your progress against, then ask yourself how you are doing when you fix some or all but one. If you pick your important dimensions in life based on your long-term goals, it's harder this way to push beyond your limits into burnout or to slack off if you strive to be close to the optimal frontiner.
Thanks!

But yeah, I still don't think it's all that inaccurate: He may not have wanted it to fail, and still not think it's a technical failure... But socially? Still seems possible he'd be starting to think that while the Rust language per se is a technical success, all the drama surrounding the integration of it into Linux means that that is turning out to be a social failure.

(Or maybe I'm just projecting because that is what it looks like to me.)
Can you describe who a Kubernetes hater is? Or show me an example. It's easy to stigmatise someone as a Kubernetes lover or hater. Then use it to invalidate their arguments.

I would argue against Kubernetes in particular situations, and even recommend Ansible in some cases, where it is a better fit in the given circumstances. Do you consider me as a Kubernetes hater?

Point is, Kubernetes is a great tool. In particular situations. Ansible is a great tool. In particular situations. Even bash is a great tool. In particular situations. But Kubernetes even could be the worst tool if you choose unwisely. And Kubernetes is not the ultimate infrastructure tool. There are alternatives, and there will be new ones.

I mean people should do that anyway, because when that stock takes a tumble it's going to shed value incredibly fast.

It's been overvalued before, and now it's cruising on "how good will the government corruption money be". Needless to say, you can look at how things worked out in Russia for who gets paid, and how much that winds up being worth in the end.
And not only as an investment, but as one that can lead to the salvation of the country...

No :) the prompt was about a marketing strategy for an app. It was very generic and it got the category of the app completely wrong to begin with.

But I admit that I didn’t spend huge amount of time designing the prompt.
It matters a lot, it can make balance sheet look a bit better and therefore can help to reduce interest on treasury bills. I think and I'm almost sure Trump is not okay with the current rates.

This is what happens when a society allows narcissists in positions of power. It's a disease and when they refuse to seek treatment, it should make them ineligible for any leadership position, in both the private and public sector.

Nobody (sane) would allow a psychotic individual to run for president or become a CEO. This is the same thing, except they are less of a danger to themselves and more to others.

And of course they're able to craft more convincing lies. Mr. Musk never cared about free speech, only about being worshipped and the best way to achieve that is to say what people want to hear.

Agreed. Most twitter posts I see anyway is stolen content without a single link to attribute it. Almost seems like posting a link to the source there is bad manners.
Kobo has the same thing. Buy books on Kobo and they are on your device. But they also support ePub natively and ADE DRM natively so there's more options of where to source books before conversion.
the best upgrade for brakes would be to keep them totaly mechanical, but move to indoard brakes, there would be no flex lines, or much shorter and robust flex lines, sprung mass will be reduced, improving handling , and reducing wieght, airodynamics and heat rejection can be refined further, center of mass is now better, and overall efficiency will see a significant improvement, with a statistical improvement in saftey due to better braking and manouverability.

I really like my old Kobo, but I was a tad disappointed when I had to swap the screen. It's a very shoddy build. The screen is glued to the board and the battery is soldered. I felt like it was made to break when you try to open it.

it is very consistent of how Elon Musk has been behaving for the last 20 years.
It's how about 2/3rds of the US works.

About 1/3rd of Americans have an employment arrangement which requires just cause or other factor which makes it not at will employment.
Unfortunately this isn’t quite correct. They’re not neonazis but they are fascists, they don’t believe in liberal democracy and hold extremist (as in, objectively far right) views on women’s rights, Judaism, Islam and LBGT issues.

AfD are also anti-science proponents of climate change denial, and are quite happy to hold opposing views from one day to the next.

By all means ask me for receipts
American here (another) but also Irish (moved here in my 20s)…

Americans never use ‘gaol’. It’s rarely used in Ireland but definitely a term there.
Your assertion that Rust isn’t well suited for command line programs contradicts reality, where developer tools for multiple languages are being rewritten in Rust. The new bundlers, linters and formatters for JavaScript and Python (the most popular languages by far) preferring Rust and gaining massive adoption tells me that Rust is pretty well suited to CLI programs.

And the success of ripgrep, mcfly/atuin, zoxide, hyperfine and starship, just reinforces the feeling that yeah, CLIs written in Rust can succeed.

So yeah, strongly disagree with you about Rust’s place.

But from your previous comments I also know you’re very knowledgeable about Rust so I’m surprised you came to this conclusion.
does the reason matter? regardless of whether it is a mistake or or censorship, the end result is the same.

It all depends on the use cases and read/write patterns. Imo if well designed could yield added value
I'm not sure you understand free speech. Free speech means he can make public threats to people without repercussions, doxx people when he feels like it, lie, and spread misinformation for personal gain. It means unbanning rule breakers, doxxers and harassers, as long as they're right-wing. Free speech does not extend to anyone who he personally disagrees with or dislikes, who will instead be banned from the platform.
I mean you can probably do something clever with this like rainbow tables on fingerprints or something like that which is more probabilistic so you never store individual fingerprints. Would be interesting to know what the solution is.
Great suggestion! I will consider the possibilities.
In fact, there's a system already in place, it's just that almost no one uses it and there's no codified convention.

Error code 22 is EINVAL, "invalid argument". If most of the CLI frameworks agreed to use it on invalid commands, shells could diferrentiate user errors and program errors and keep histories clean.

Adding this to POSIX Utility Conventions and GNU Coding Standards would be a great kickstart.

Welp.
We used it in prod for ~18 months or so but the experience was not something we'd repeat.

The configuration of Traefik, in our case, embedded in the docker-compose file was not clear.
What was supposed to be a 'auto-detection' of services ended up looking like a hodge-podge of configs between several files.

The logging was sub-par - we couldn't properly debug issues.

And then we ended up migrating terminating HTTPS on AWS's ELB so the let's encrypt integration became not relevant which catalyzed us going back to nginx.
Not sure it is that unlikely. They refuse to do an audit of the gold and have not done one in decades.
It’s not about immigration. If it was, then mainstream parties WOULD fix immigration.

It’s about national identity, “us and them”. If it wasn’t about immigrants it would be about “experts”. If it wasn’t about experts it would be about “the gays”.

This kind of thing doesn’t go away with appeasement: orgs like AfD just point their weapons at somebody else. It has always been the way with facists.

The CDU/CSU understands perfectly. That is why its immigration policy has turned around completely. It is now basically the same as AfD's, in the hopes of drawing its old voters back. But the voters aren't stupid. Because of the cordon sanitaire, the CDU/CSU can't implement its migration policy without violating the most sacred "rule" of German politics: you cannot work with the AfD. If you do, the establishment media and the left (SPD/Greens) will be very upset with you. And we can't have that! Look at all the howling there was over the CDU even considering using AfD votes to pass migration reform recently.

> Or the lie about funding an opera about a transgender woman (the money was for a university in Columbia, unrelated to a performance put on at the school).

You've got that wrong. The grant to fund the opera exists: https://www.usaspending.gov/award/ASST_NON_SCO20021GR3086_19.... Specifically the grant was given "to raise awareness and increase the transgender representation through the opera As One, by American composer Laura Kaminsky".

The lie in this case would be that USAID awarded the grant, it was awarded by the Department of State instead.
Someone might take that as advice.
The secret is not to refer to woman or man. They are all persons, and the gender they have, has nothing to do with their qualifications or fitness for the job.

Last week I was windowshopping in a furniture store and saw this brand for the first time. I had the same thought, nail on the head.
Sell them to whom? If I had a Tesla and sold it to you, there are still the same number of people driving one.

I’m sympathetic to Tesla owners who've had their car for a while. If Akio Toyoda turned out to be a bastard, I wouldn't buy another new Toyota, but I’d continue to drive our current one until the wheels fall off. Same with Teslas. It's unreasonable to ask someone to get rid of their working, paid-for family transport. We can't just scrap all of them.

But. Anyone driving an Incel Camino just bought the thing, and I will continue pointing at them and laughing.
And yet Android's calculator is quite bad. Despite being able to correctly calculate stuff that 99.99% of the population don't care about, it lacks many scientific operations that a good chunk of accountants, engineers and coders would make use of regularly. This is a classic situation of engineers solving the fun/challenging problems before the customer's actual problems.
> The Republicans, for all their whinging over the debt when they're not in power and using it to give the Democrats temporary black eyes, are highly unlikely to do anything that directly endangers big business profits or the stock market going up.

Everyone said that about the UK Conservatives until the Liz Truss budget. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/September_2022_United_Kingdom_...

Fortunately the UK has extremely efficient systems for removing people who fuck up the money. She was the shortest serving PM and removed on her fiftieth day in office. The US is stuck with its current government until at least the midterms.
I already said they are technically not black boxes. We are not in disagreement here.

The fact that code is all there and deterministic isn't sufficient. People use newer versions of compilers and you can't predict what the people who write compilers will do (people are black boxes). The compilers may do something you don't expect but still conform to the spec.

The point is that there is no one implementation of C. And the same is true for any other language too (to a lesser extent).

Unless you're coding against very specific versions of OS and compiler and runtime environment, you don't have code to inspect. You are not inspecting all the underlying dependencies when you write your code. You just assume they work.

It doesn't matter whether they are black boxes if you don't routinely inspect the boxes. Perhaps you do, but for most people they don't. So it doesn't matter as much.
I think some people are so motivated by "hate" (for lack of a better word) they they pretty much would shoot their foot off with a sawed-off if someone told them it would "own the libs". It's like you say: there is not even need of justification, Musk is "our guy" and that's that.
At this point in time President Musk is the ultimate state actor.
I've been using RWMutex'es around SQLite calls as a precaution since I couldn't quite figure out if it was safe for concurrent use. This is perhaps overkill?

Since I do a lot of cross-compiling I have been using https://modernc.org/sqlite for SQLite. Does anyone have some knowledge/experience/observations to share on concurrency and SQLite in Go?
Yes it does.

I am mostly using krita for painting and gimp for general editing and composing usually so I haven't double-checked every single feature on both but I have one example: krita can open a pdf but cannot save it and doesn't even have a "print" functionality. Found out when trying to sign a contract with krita on my convertible thinkpad. Gimp makes it a breeze in comparison.

I am sure there are other features missing in both directions. It is great to have choice.
Is it a U.S library card? Or a library card from outside the U.S (e.g., a German one)? That's not clear from how you wrote it. I believe it's a U.S library only thing. Libby's own FAQ says it's U.S only but perhaps they just haven't updated it.
