It's likely that China will use illegal or underhanded techniques to get ahead today then clean up their act and claim rehabilitation later. You can see the mental groundwork being laid in the whataboutism rebuttals comparing the US to

Early on, Ansible was primarily agent-less from the start which made it ridiculously easy to sneak into existing infrastructure and manual workflows. I probably would not have been able to stand up Puppet or Salt or whatever but I could run

Has anyone tried using an AMD card for desktop/Wayland alongside an Nvidia card for ML/CUDA? Especially with Sway? I use Sway/AMD for desktop but all the photogrammetry software out there requires CUDA. It's a bit of a P

What analogy are you going for? Screwdrivers? Hammers? Even those haven't stayed the same. While I still have the old reliable Craftsman flat blade, I also have a very nice Wera bit driver and a box full of Torx screws. Drills have gon

I miss GPM's UI. While I'm a pretty firm YTM customer (price, features, catalog, artist payout feelgoods), the UI is pure trash and annoys the hell out of me. From playlists, queues, browsing, and recommendations, it's all aw

But if you're gonna pirate content, I don't think paid music subscriptions are right for you either.

The biggest problem with the GPM -> YTM transition was that my kids were suddenly locked out of music (as Google didn't allow kids accounts to have YT and YTM fell under that). This was a serious problem and I don't understand

I signed up for Google Play Music for the same reason, artist payout, long ago. It looks like Youtube Music is still the highest among the major brands. https://www.hypebot.com/hypebot/2021/09/why-youtube-musi

Youtube Music has a family plan for $15/m for 5 users and all users also get YT Premium (nee Red). It's a way better deal.

I don't know if I hit 7 hours but I definitely watch a lot of YouTube. You're spot on about it being a bad fit. Originals were basically TV shows and I didn't come to YouTube for TV. Who really does?

Don't forget government outlawing denser housing, promoting expensive single family sprawl which then requires a car (amortized TCO $10k a year) and requisite local taxes to cover the inefficient infrastructure. "Drive until you c

Just to say thank you for this closure ~15 years later. I was on team lighttpd back in the day (I think I liked the config syntax more? I honestly can't remember) but this bug caused a lot of grief and at the time, it appeared like no

Don't mistake your friends change in policy with a change in attitude about the individual vs society. Vaccine mandates, incentives, and restrictions were all done with paternalistic intent. However we've reached the point where t

Headed in the other direction (Linux at home to Mac at work) for years now, I can't understand what the fuss is about with Mac keyboard shortcuts. In my experience, I don't find them consistent, useful, or pleasant to use. You hit

I suppose all I could offer in defense is that the Iran sanctions were over nuclear technology, ISIS, etc; not speech or "loss of face". Ugh, still, the Middle East makes the US lose its damn mind. I hadn't really followed an

Definitely a given that American movies have comical stereotypes for "bad guys". I don't know what to say except that America's pretty divided right now. In some parts, you won't find a lot of love for Israel and th

This sounds like how people talked about Trump in 2016: assuming that everyone else can see what you see while ignoring the animosity the US earned by throwing its weight around. Some countries, maybe with less societal concern for individu

Collective action problems are not solved through capitalism. Unfortunately, Western countries are gripped by misguided reactive individualism right now and governments are very hamstrung.

This post seems to be addressing Europe rather than the US. From my perspective, the current policy goals in my area aim to keep essential services open. The unvaccinated are soaking up hospital capacity and other critical areas (e.g. schoo

He edited his comment some time after I composed my reply. He directly claimed that mRNA vaccines alter your DNA and "modified your cells". For the second part, being generous, you could say that the point of a vaccine is to modif

One of the co-author's of that pre-print paper does not agree with your interpretation of his work. > “There is absolutely no reason to believe that any of the vaccine mRNA is doing the same thing. The viral spike protein mRNA is a

The mRNA Covid vaccines do not alter your DNA. Conspiracy theorist nonsense and lies don't belong in this forum.

But to continue the comparison, how would it work if it was a car speeding down the sidewalk? And people bike on sidewalks because the roads are unsafe. The roads are unsafe because cars are intrinsically unsafe machines.

That's where I'm at. Good data needs time. Good policy needs good data. Deaths are a lagging indicator and not even SA has really had enough time to clearly define the threat in that regard. I'm neither ready to burn my mask

Massachusetts has cut routine procedures back 50% and is reserving Covid treatments exclusively for the unvaccinated+. The anti-vax crowd is absolutely dragging this out and causing measurable harm for the rest of us who want to see the end

I recall an HN comment that the Van Riper story leaves out some details. Like, while he used motorcycle couriers, they were simulated. In network terms, they had low latency and no "packet loss". But it sounds funny, so it gets re
