> I often wonder, why isn't systemd-nspawn[0] used more often?

I think most people simply don't know about it. A lot of people also don't know that there are alternatives to Docker.

I use both, systemd-nspawn and podman containers. They serve different purposes:

systemd-nspawn: Run a complete operation system in a container. Updates are applied in-place. The whole system is writeable. I manage this system myself. I also use the -M switch for the systemctl and journalctl commands on the host to peek into my nspawn-containers. I create the system with debootstrap.

podman: Run a stripped down operating system or just a contained executable with some supporting files. Most of the system is read-only with some writeable volumes mounted at well-defined locations in the file system tree. I don't manage the container image myself and I have activated auto-updates via the quadlet definition file. I create the container based on an image from a public container registry.

Both solutions have their place. systemd-nspawn is a good choice if you want to create a long-lived linux system with lots of components. podman/docker containers are a good choice if you want to containerize an application with standard requirements.

systemd-nspawn is good for pet containers. podman is good for cattle containers.
I personally wonder if people were arguing and complaining that America was moving left or failing back when racial integration was the big fight. I’m sure there were people arguing that letting non-whites drink from the same water fountains was dangerous for white women. Think about that a bit while you lament transgender people.
sounds more like a W10 issue?
I feel like this should be using data- attributes instead of classes? I'm not a frontend guy really but aren't classes more for styling
Just because you are out of the loop does not mean it’s meaningless — in some spaces the term is very straightforward and concise

I’d cut down the snark; this news aggregator is not built for you specifically, there will be many things that you are unaware of and I don't think they should be met with snark (there must be some reason why people invent a new term for it; in this case, it is to refer specifically to an animated avatar rigged to a face (or body) camera usually for a video streaming activity. Usually it is comprised of many moving components and assets, a PNGtuber works off a single PNG file, and thus easier/cheaper to get started with).
I knew that them branding their AI strategy as Apple Intelligence was risky.

Because now the perception is that "Apple Intelligence" is something distinct from the state of the art.
> If there's no way to procure any drugs, it takes away a lot of the pain and anguish you feel coming off of drugs.

Or the fact that you're not longer in the environment with its stressors that cause you to seek out drugs in the first place? Lots of people sleeping rough go for drugs of any kind just to be able to put their mind to rest.

Finland shows this with its "housing first" policy, giving people a home is a relatively easy way to get them off of drugs.
I think the perception is the much bigger story here than the actual change in advice by German authorities. Traveling to the US (and other countries as well) always had the chance to trigger some overzealous enforcement and/or arbitrary rejection or detainment.

But the current US government is very strongly ramping up the rethoric and actions in that area, so the risk increased and will very likely increase further. That creates an enormous amount of uncertainty and this uncertainty will have effects. For some people (white, from western countries) this is probably still a very low risk, but anyone that fits the target profile of the new government is in much more danger.

I don't want to downplay this by pointing to perception, but in the end the perception is much more likely to affect the behaviour of visitors than the murky real change. Even at a low chance, people quite justifiably don't want to risk geting locked up in a cold cell for an arbitrary amount of time. And the perception matters much more here than the quantifiable risk of getting detained.
Woot, blast from the past!

One thing I did early in my career was to set up a issue tracker, and I happened to chose Redmine from what was available back then.

While I was at that company I did a bunch of upgrades, had 0 downtime and no issues with the software. I heard a few years ago their infra is still running.

10/10 would recommend.
And you can't just search in it. It's truly trashy format for anything other that presentation or lecture. For simple information sharing it's horrible.
>> I've watched the Holocaust movie series of the 1970s

Do you recall Karl is sent to Theresienstadt where the art studio secretly paints the holocaust?

That is the "paradise ghetto", the potemkin village concentration camp the Nazis created to give tours to international observers to fool them about conditions. Sometimes called a retirement village or the gift of the Fuhrer to the Jewish people but of course, just a temporary pause for transports going further east to the death camps.

> Is boost::multi_index_container no longer a thing?

Depends on the shop. I haven't seen one in production so far, but I don't doubt some people use it.

> Also there's SQLite with the :memory: database.

Ah, now that's cheating. I know, because I did that too. I did that because of the realization that half the members I'm stuffing into classes to store my game state are effectively poor man's hand-rolled tables, indices and spatial indices, so why not just use a proper database for this?.

> And this ancient 4gl we use at work has in-memory tables (as in database tables, with typed columns and any number of unique or not indexes) as a basic language feature.

Which one is this? I've argued in the past that this is a basic feature missing from 4GL languages, and a lot of work in every project is wasted on hand-rolling in-memory databases left and right, without realizing it. It would seem I've missed a language that recognized this fact?

(But then, so did most of the industry.)
Yeah why can't I get a trash can that lasts more than a year
>Invest time that your pipelines can run locally on a developer machine as well (as much as possible at least), otherwise testing/debugging pipelines becomes a nightmare.

This so much. This ties into the previous point about using as much shell as possible. Additionally I'd say environment control via Docker/Nix, as well as modularizing the pipeline so you can restart it just before the point of failure instead of rerunning the whole business just to replay one little failure.
It’s been a while since I used it but I do remember that it doesn’t do a clean checkout and you can’t force it to. It leaves artifacts on the agent that can interfere with subsequent builds. I assume they do it for speed but it can affect reliability of builds
COBOL is ok. The issue is the type of companies we will work for and the processes around old mainframe systems (which what you'd ended working on)

If I had to guess, a 14yo would feel pretty bored very quickly.
Teardown, Optimization: Comsol 8Gb USB Flash Stick (2015)
I think an underappreciated library in this space is Logux [1]

It requires deeper (and more) integration work compared to solutions that sync your state for you, but is a lot more flexible wrt. the backend technology choices.

At its core, it is an action synchronizer. You manage both your local state and remote state through redux-style actions, and the library takes care of syncing and resequencing them (if needed) so that all clients converge at the same state.

oh great , I will take look at others project and try to improve thanks
not to put cobol engineers in a bad light, but, the most bright engineers I have had chance to work with always seek ‘more’, they grow. Consider who would be willing to stay and work on the same project, doing the same for extended periods of time. I’m not calling it lazy or unintelligent, but, these may be work-challenge averse and an opportunity to offload a lot of work on your shoulders. If this mentality matches with your way of working, you will be fine.
UK also. https://www.reuters.com/world/uk/britain-beefs-up-travel-war...
This is an administration that openly is talking about annexing Canada, as well as invading panama and Greenland. It's an administration that has literally said "we want government workers in trauma."

Historians are actively comparing us to Nazi Germany. https://snyder.substack.com/p/what-to-expect-when-youre-expe...

3-4 prominent republicans have Sieg Heiled in public, including Bannon who did not put his hand on his heart first.

You are confusing hyperbole for actually shocking news, and it's so shocking it's easily mistaken for hyperbole because if you don't bury your head in the ground it's too much to bear. Accepting the truth of whats happening means you must act, and so people are opting not to accept it to protect their mental health.

"I'm going to bring a new industry to [rural] America, where addicts can help each other recover from their addictions," Kennedy promised, during a film on addiction released by his presidential campaign. "We're going to build hundreds of healing farms where American kids can reconnect with America's soil."

That's the kernel of truth, but when you bring in the historical context of authoritarian regimes, and the absolute lack of rule of law, you start to get very very afraid.
Fully agree!

I go even further: the indieweb is not even a "community" or "movement". These words sound way too much like it's organized, like there are gatekeepers who decide about in- and outgroup.
Ah, you’re right. The linked article doesn’t say, but apparently a Schengen Visa is “for short-term purposes, such as tourism or business trips. Work permits are apparently not counted in these numbers, then.

As to whether they are conforming tot heir own policies or not, I can’t find any evidence either way in the linked article. They’re just stating the numbers.
Minimalist stop-motion-style avatar switching between two poses/images with an audio threshold level, giving the impression the avatar is talking.
IMO, Craig Federighi is quite good at presentations and his own style of humor, but he doesn’t seem to have a good grip on the quality of software across all of Apple’s (buggy) platforms and apps. I don’t believe that moving Siri under him (i.e., his reporting structure) is a good idea. Only time will tell.

There are far more bugs and issues that are to be fixed (but don’t get attention) than Siri. Anyway Siri has been close to useless for a decade and a half. It’s not a big deal if it remains so for another half a decade. Nobody outside of Apple has any expectations on it.

Edit: On a related note, this leak seems to be significant. The Apple I know of would fire the executives (among the “top 100”) who leaked this and probably make sure they’d pay some hefty monetary penalties too.
It's good UX for websites with extremely long periods between logins. Like a service you access once a year, or even every two years. Or a service where you might never have to log in ever (I run such a thing at work).

I would not want this for my google account or the like.
Tell me more. Can you link to this program / course?
The change they have made suffices for “tightens travel advice”. Not everything has to be an official warning.

> "A criminal conviction in the United States, false information regarding the purpose of stay, or even a slight overstay of the visa upon entry or exit can lead to arrest, detention, and deportation upon entry or exit," information on the ministry's website now explicitly says.
I never tried advanced things with "Hey Google" but it always gets the basics right for me:

"go home" opens maps app with a route to my home.

"alarm in", "alarm at", "what time is it?" works well too.

In fact I'm afraid they'll break it by shoving down Gemini.

Alexa is the same with basics, works well for me with "reminder in X hours", "reminder at 10am on every workday", "alarm at", "play The Strokes", "add coffee to the list" (groceries)

Alexa is really bad with any advanced stuff I've tried. Didn't try with "hey Google"

Any other basics that work?
All this recent hype about sync engines and local first applications completely disregards conflict resolution. It's the reason why syncing isn't mainstream already and it isn't solved and arguably cannot be.

Imagine if git just on its own picked what to keep and what to throw away when there's a conflict. You fundamentally need the user to make the choice.
His gesture was _exactly_ like Hitler's. A gesture he repeated.

The gesture was quite different to that he'd used previously for 'giving people his heart'.

He's known to be a white supremacist. That is apparently his heritage too.

He supports far right parties in Europe.

Other 'Republican' politicians have repeated the gesture from the dais; but they seem to have made other excuses.

None of the many videos or photos that supposedly show other politicians doing similar gestures actually pass scrutiny. It's possible to inadvertently end with the same hand position. But the full fascist salute, on video, multiple times in succession. That's no accident.

Someone who hadn't meant it would have come back on stage, when it was pointed out to them, and made an apology. Or at least immediately issued a statement/press release.

I would believe he'd planned it as a joke - 'I bought this election, I'm going to throw a Nazi salute for memes'. But I'm not sure that's ultimately any better.

Perhaps you believe he's just a catastrophically idiotic person with no-one around him helping him?
> But who takes random street scene photos?

What do you mean? This is exactly what street photographers do.
> Stacking the two rotors generates more thrust per unit area

But that's not a thing, and that's also not how that works. Multicopter rotor design is incredibly subtle.

(Two basic ideas for quad copters are that they need to slowly move horizontally for maximum efficiency, and that the vertical stagger between front and rear pair of rotors matters a lot.)

At the end of the day, this design is exactly what it is: Looks like a bottle which might be nice for someone. And the whole general layout thing boils down to flight time, in its weight class, with a given payload weight. There's not much more to it.
A display goes a long way when troubleshooting, instead of having to dig out the manual and figure out what the specific combination of blinking LEDs is supposed to mean.
I'm repeatedly telling myself to do that because I've ended up having multiple copies of the same documents scattered over different devices instead of centralizing my calibre instance. When I considered doing that on fated weekend I abandoned the idea under the impression of not having the possibility of sync reading position, annotations on PDFs and most importantly lacking the support for my e-book... though most likely I simply missed the finer details on how to do all of that
I think the management isn't hyper excited about naming - in fact, they couldn't care less for what the name means (it's just a buzzword). What they're excited about is what the thing does - which is, turn more capex into opex. With "cloud", we can subscribe to servers instead of owning them. With "serverless", we can subscribe directly to what servers do, without managing servers themselves. Etc.
The resources all start off chemically bound in rocks that aren't famous for spontaneously generating or storing electricity.

I don't see it being meaningfully more expensive to process smashed up old PV or batteries than starting from the natural state, and my expectation is that it would be easier.

The exception would be if some of the chemical pathways turn into low-concentration atmospheric gasses that then diffuse all over the world, which is how we got the problem with CO2 (and unrelated problems with CFCs).
We built roads mainly for trucks. Because this infrastructure ensures, that we have food in the supermarkets, material on the construction sites and in worst case, tanks quickly in the areas needed. So if it was me, trucks can use the streets for free all day long and tax me for that, to build and maintain this infrastructure.

But for private leisure like biking an extra pathway, no thanks, they can pay for that themselves. Its nice to have.
As far a I know, all of the listed countries are reasonably safe to travel to. I’ve not heard any stories of arbitrary detention from any of them, which is what this article is (mostly) about.

Trans people might not enjoy Slovakia or Hungary right now, but I’m not sure they are unsafe to visit for them (yet)? Someone local might fill me in here…
Really liked what you build. I'll be following your progress. Congrats on the work you've done!
It would have to have some impact. Whether that's significant would depend on the situation.
The USA hosts 35 million foreign visitors per year. These enforcement actions are absurd, but if you have your documents in order and are planing a normal tourist trip. you will be fine.
Hopefully the new guys take the existing GenAI bullshit and fuck off from turning it back on after every update despite me turning it off 3 times already.
Heathrow is a significant part of the UK economy, what is with the dismissive attitude?

I mean permission is implicit in that you opened up the browser and entered text. As for what they do with it, that's also covered in the terms & conditions, privacy policy, etc.

People are informed, the legal frameworks are all there, they can't claim they didn't know what they were doing / what was happening with their data.
The SRBs were collected from the sea for reused and the upper stage was reused after landing horizontally. The only thing not reused was the upper stage drop tank. That single use drop tank was rather big, true, but not a rocket, not a rocket at all.

The Soviet lookalike did use a single use rocket as its second stage, with the reusable part just being an orbiter.
Also check out Moss. They are doing some things right in budgeting and transaction linking!
You are right!

I could have said Switzerland, but I believe that my point expands to the entirety of the EU, why I expanded a bit.

As some of you sibling commenters also write: Not all parts of the Schengen / EU is equally - just like you probably wouldn't move these things to rural Alaska.
"Refurbishable" would be a better term than "reusable".

Refurbishment of the shuttle orbiter took months and tens of thousands of work hours before it could fly again. It was pretty far from what ordinary people understand under "reuse", though not completely outside the meaning of the word.
They detained a green card holder who didn't break any laws and tortured him for weeks. They deported a French scientist over private speech after searching his phone. Why do you think all this is just going to be okay?
I'm really buffled what makes it for Apple so difficult to cut off Siri and replace it with state-of-art technology (LLMs). Siri is still akin to a "dumbphone" 4 years into the age of "smartphones" which is a good indicator for a lost case and when it's better to start a product from scratch without the tech debt.
That is incorrect!

Even during normal times with proper documentation I was detained for a few hours. This is something completely different. I’ve seen deportations immediately for wrong documents. I haven’t seen 14 days of arbitrary detention before for correct documents.
The issue with stored procedures is testing and code maintenance. How do I run unit tests? How do I version control and code review?

After throwing the average meeting as an mp3 to your system, yes, you have diarization solved much better than everyone else I've tried by far. I'd say you're 95% of the way to being good enough for becoming the backbone of monolingual corporate meeting transcription, and I'll be buying API tokens the next time I need to do this instead of training a custom model. Your transcription however isn't that great - but good enough for LLMs to figure out a minutes of the meeting.

That said, the trick to extracting voices is to work in frequency space. Not sure what your model does but my home made version first ran all the audio through a fft, then essentially became a vision problem for finding speech patterns that matched in pitch and finally output extremely fined grained time stamps for where they were found and some python glue threw that into an open source whisper tts model.
well, most successful oss projects are paid for through that one guy at the corner cubicle that has very few company responsibilities, but he maintains lib-fart-chart, which is also used at said company.
That actually makes sense from the perspective of a state managing its labor force, though. That's just smart. "Diversity" for its own sake is just meaningless centrist bullshit.
The German tattoo artist got 8 days of solitary confinement, like so many others in ICE detention, that ICE only ended after her mental breakdown and self-injury, and not out of ICE having respect for their own rules.
Well a researcher was denied entry because his messages against Trump were deemed terrorism https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/mar/19/trump-musk-f...

I would be scared of that as a tourist, and I guess a lot of other people would be as well. Not just because of being denied entry but for the possible investigations one could face
