Wanted to add this also is setup on Fedora workstation 36 and is turned on the same way. It was super easy and works really well. I only use it on a local network now and then though. So I can’t say I’ve hammered on it very hard, but it was exactly what I wanted at the time.

I decided that this was what I would do on my most recent work project. My quest to reduce the number of libraries it depends on led me to deciding against Immer or something like it.

It works out cause I only use state of this complexity in a single spot. The code to do the copying does not read well in my opinion, and it definitely could get nasty in some cases (slower systems with updates on each keystroke say).

A library like Immer seems very reasonable if you are working on big nested structures often. Worth considering depending on the case.

Interesting question. Only other ideas I can think of is they pulled the drive out from the laptop to do the copy physically, or they booted the laptop from a live distro and did the copy. But those are simply guesses!

Thanks for the comment. I really don't know anything about these kinds of discussions. I tend to not know what people mean when they say they're anti-capitalist on Mastodon, but this gives me a clue. Interesting to read!

You say you'd refer to what you're talking about as "libertarian communist." I'm not worried about this term, I'm just curious! Do you know of a resource that lays out and summarizes some of these ideas? I don't expect you to teach me them, but it sounds like you might know where to even begin. I don't even know what terms to search for right now!

I'm not a user of this tech, but I imagine I would be kind of excited and kind of weirded out if I watched this show with footage from my camera.

One question I have: does the show ask customers about using the footage? Would the contact or law even require them to? I'd be interested to get a sense of what those conversations are like.

EDIT: according to this article (https://deadline.com/2022/08/wanda-sykes-host-syndicated-vir...) the footage is user submitted. It would still be interesting to consider if they could or are able to access that data for the show.

I don't use AWS but I was curious about this. Seems like they wouldn't pull the rug out from under people like this quite that easily.

That being said, worth getting the upgrade done as soon as possible for GP's reason and others.

I’m a bit of a mixed bag when it comes to sub/dub debates. I find myself usually enjoying one or the other more, depending on the show and sometimes the season.

For example, Cowboy Bebop I enjoy both, though probably prefer the dub a bit more. If I’m watching Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure, my preference changes season to season since the cast is always changing, and the context of the story changes which I think makes one better over the other. In other cases I’ve definitely preferred the sub.

I don’t think my point is view is unique, but I also don’t see it reflected in discussions much. What’s your take on it?

For me, I think short term this is kinda how it works. Although a point I'd make is that is not that I enjoy it less often, it's just that I move onto other things.

Long term though, songs I loop like this can always return and restart their cycle. So it doesn't completely ruin it for me or anything after a few days.

Feel like this is probably a better way to manage it if I'm being honest. Actually, this is a bit of a similar way I'd listen to jam bands (Grateful Dead, Phish, Railroad Earth, etc.) Usually too long to listen to on repeat, but interesting enough to listen to many times and pick up on things.

I appreciate this. I’ve had days where at work I’ve played a new song I’ve gotten into at least 30 times, sometimes with a few songs to break it up, often not though. I’ve always assumed it was slightly strange, but also probably not that strange. I also relate to the authors explanation. I’ll get tired of a song eventually, for a while, but one day come back to it and get into another usually less intense loop.

I don’t really understand what happens, but to be honest, I’m not really sure I’m bothered by my lack of understanding either. It’s just an experience that I can explain simply “I listened to this song on repeat 37 times today”, and yet I can’t explain it at all “Why does this happen? Why this song from an anime I’ve never seen? Beats me!”

I think this makes a lot of sense. A question I have about it though - why not say it's for something else then? If the goal is to get value out of Tesla and put it elsewhere, it seems like cash for another company he's running seems reasonable enough? Perhaps that's illegal for some reason I'm naive about?

Ah okay, this helps a bit. Not in Canada so I wasn't aware. Thanks for clarifying.

In the article, it mentions that the Canadian government blocked this merger. I believe it said that was in April though. Has that changed, or did I misread what the reporting said? Just want to clarify in case I missed something.

I’m not sure what the original comment was, but yeah this is related to what I was thinking of. I didn’t notice the first time the site says data only goes back to 2000, and figured there would’ve been some data from the Great Depression.

I noticed it only seems to go back to around the year 2000. So it seems like there are probably very many missing. Also Florida banks have a fairly large amount of this list. I wonder why.

Anyway, kinda neat. It would be interesting if they included a summary of what the expected cause of the failures were too.

I'm unfamiliar with glucosamine aside from the quick search and comments I read now. Neat that they see a correlation, but are there any theories about why this would be the case? Do the lungs use glucosamine somehow?

Yeah fully agree. It's a big ask. Reading my comments again today, I made it sound more negative than I should have. It would be awesome to have that, but often unrealistic.

About bottom up training, I'd also love to have some extensive training on app security too. I know some basics, but learning some more systematic security testing would be cool.

In my roughly 10 years of experience at megacorps, security related work towards products is generally treated like a compliance matter for the company, for better or worse. My experience in summary:

Testing: the security team run a few ad hoc tests, or only run the app team's automated security tests, or not at all.

Models: Once I built a threat model interactively with a security team member, but most times they'd ask the app team to put it together and send it to them. Usually would be reviewed with a few questions.

Paperwork: most of the is spent filling out forms, looking at automated tool results and addressing as needed, providing spreadsheets with new features or changes and their security requirements.

Code analysis: I don't think I've ever had a security team member read source code. Maybe I'm not remembering, but I genuinely can't think of one. I would love to have this happen though.

So, I guess I haven't had a good experience with security teams overall. I don't generally attribute that to the team itself though. They're often way over taxed and trying to oversee upwards of 10 projects with tons of reporting requirements and deadlines for releases. There's really no way in their structure or funding they _could_ do more than this. It's kinda amazing they even get this much stuff done now that I think about it! But yeah, I've never had an experience like you describe.

I'm not sure. It sounds like a genuinely neat idea for another TUI app though! Make the files .text too files instead and build and index of them for searching.

I think your point is right, but I admit I struggled here. It's trying to constrain the scenario, but it's both too unrealistic and not constrained enough for me to manage. Here's what I was thinking.

First off, torture as far as I understand has way worse outcomes than 75% success, and I don't think information like a full blown confession is very often had. But OK, 75% chance they find out where it is with a definite admission of guilt. No chance they get bad information during torture. Howw long do they do the torture to get that info? 1 minute? 23 hours and 59 minutes? Is that really enough time to dispatch the team? Let's say they have enough time though. The scenario says "if the bomb is found, there's a chance it can be disarmed." What kind of chance? 99%? .00001%? If they fail to disarm it, did you send a team of people off to die with the other 1 million? Or do they evacuate to survive? Is it worth potentially sacrificing more people on the chance you can help then?

It was just too much for me I guess. But truly I agree with you. Maybe over a longer period of time I can think more clearly about it with more constraints to help me.

I’ve mixed and matched running, cycling, and weight lifting through the years, though almost all weight lifting now.

However, I’m interpreting your question is how do you get reliable at whatever physical activities you decide to do, which is a big deal in the beginning when you’re completely sedentary like I was. Framing, finding what you like, and a simple schedule helped me.

My framing in the beginning was that if I didn’t commit to a change, my long term was going to be a lot worse quality and shorter term than I wanted. Something had to change for myself and for those I care about. I could watch it happen by the numbers, and frankly felt it really bad. Nowadays, I way prefer to be active and get frustrated it I miss more than a few days. Stick with it and something shifts.

Finding what you like comes down to trying activities out and figuring out what works. I was lucky to have some activities I like growing up as easy starting points. The gym was foreign to me though. Enough time just trying it and trying it out and getting help from others shifted that for me though.

The simple schedule might be the most important thing. A set of days and specific times I was doing the activity, virtually no exceptions. Usually Mon/We’d/Fri at 430pm. In the beginning I had some flexibility but it was usually trading activities (I don’t want to run today so I’ll go on the bike, or it’s too hot outside so I’ll gym instead). But I would only suggest that if it helps you keep active. Don’t bake in flexibility to avoid activity.

With this stuff, I went from begrudgingly doing exercise, to having it become a habit that I didn’t debate with myself, to something I really enjoy and get frustrated when I miss it. It was not a quick change though.

Gotcha. Thanks that helps. I can definitely see that translation between the VM and the container being a problem.

> I suppose I can be grateful that Docker Desktop is slowly fading away.

May I ask why you're grateful? I'm pretty inexperienced with Docker/Kubernetes/containers in general. So there's probably a good reason I'm unaware of.

Docker Desktop was nice for me to run the one or two basic things I needed. I've moved away due to the licensing changes, but I'd like to understand why it was a problem.

It looks nice. The only kind of odd looking thing to me is the returnValue state in the dialog itself. Seems like this should be part of Ash event object instead? Although I guess the problem is which event to tie it to. Either way, pretty cool sounding.

Not OP, but I feel compelled to answer. I have lots of my own thoughts and feelings on the topic. I'll leave it at two framing thoughts:

If you literally can't find time to eat, how will you even be able to function to execute work, let alone anything higher level than that? I know you probably didn't mean literally no time to eat, but my broad point is how can you work hard indefinitely without caring about your physical self reliably?

If your workload will never end, what exactly are you racing against by working as hard as you can every day? Even if you 100% everything for one day, you're guaranteed to have just as much or more the next day, right? What are you gaining by battling every day until you give out?

The wrong ones apparently :) I did attempt to explain that the cost for each dev to figure out an alternative setup would exceed the cost of the license itself, and of course pointed out the possible risk of not taking action if somebody continues to use Docker Desktop unintentionally violating the new license terms.

My needs are super minimal, one or two containers at a time at most. So I use Docker Engine + docker-machine (sets up a Linux VM in VirtualBox by default) + lazydocker (https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazydocker). I did add a function to my fish config to start Docker Engine if needed, load the environment info I need from docker-machine, and then run lazydocker.

Seems to work fine so far for me.

Ah man, that must be a magical place. I spent months (on-and-off) trying to convince my company to do this and failed. I hope they figure it out, because while I worked around it for my needs, I can't imagine I'm the only person who used Docker Desktop at the company, and it genuinely worries me that while IT considers it unapproved software that it won't stop its usage.

This is cool. I've never done a production grade tree like this, but implementing a toy immutable AVL tree you bump into the issue of rebuilding subtrees when modifying a node deep in the tree. According to Eric's notes, it seems that the red tree internally can be mutated when it needs to be edited.

Yeah, it's the main recommendation I see is for people who have never done weight lifting to begin with something like this.

I'd say do a 5x5 program consistently for 3 months, and track your progress over that time. If you follow the program, you'll progressively add weights each time you do that range until you complete a cycle or cannot complete the 5x5 set successfully.

Ex: You start off at 100lbs x 5 reps on the bench press, twice per week. If you do a 3 week cycle, it might look like this:

* 100 x 5 * 105 x 5 * 110 x 5 * 115 x 5 * 120 x 5 * 125 x 5

It's important to understand what you achieved here. Increasing weight this quickly is extremely good progress. Eventually you'll hit points where adding even 5lbs more feels difficult. So remember that 25lbs is a big amount. Keep that in mind as you go.

Usually these programs will have you take a slight break/do light weights on the 4th week. Then you'll repeat the 4 week cycle, but you increase your starting point from 100lbs to 110lbs (or something along those lines).

At some point, you'll get either bored of this or maybe start hitting the limits of them. Some of these programs have you squatting 5x5's three times a week, which after a while is exhausting. After that you can begin exploring other styles such as body building which emphasizes physique more than powerlifting or strongman.
