For something like this I don't think you need to know much about systemd to figure it out, without AI. I promise it is worth the effort to learn some basics of systemd units. It then becomes easy to learn things like path triggers, ti

I want to add an addendum to this. There's just so much bad naming everywhere. So often I'll be looking for configs and can't find them because the name of the configs folder isn't remotely the same as that of the progra

I don't think craftsmanship is dead, but I do think we've built a lemon economy. The thing that creates the lemon markets is that you can't really distinguish quality until after purchase. This is extra hard with software be

All hardware is open if you're willing to open it up ;) But reverse engineering isn't as easy as my snarky response implies. But I do think more of us should get into hardware hacking. It's the only way we have to fight back.

I wonder if these people just need to talk. I wonder if these people are just avoiding thinking about the tough things in their lives. I wonder if these people are just scared of being human, so reaching for any distraction they can get. I&

I think people miss that this is a possibility. Yet it's fairly easy to see that when more people become homeless more bicycles get stolen off the street. Idk about you, but I'd have to be pretty desperate to steal a bicycle. Idk

Yeah it's difficult to interpret. One possible interpretation, the statements were very bland. These would be very low harm but also not very informative

Sure, but the biggest problem is they have no statistical significance. Variance is too high. How do you distinguish the signal from the noise? Confidence intervals aren't enough. But is it a surprise law professors aren't great s

My point implies that you have to be dynamic. If your evaluation methods are static for too long they get hacked. You have to balance that though. Change too often and your system is overly expensive and cumbersome. Change too infrequently

I think this is a more important comment than people might take it for. We all want meritocracy. Really. But the problem is that meritocracies are never really meritocratic. The problem is that it's actually really hard to measure thes

I find this study quite suspect. I'd have to dive deeper but there's definitely significant alarm bells that should be going off for anyone reading. Figure 2 (page 6) screams problems. There's only 16 professors (3k compariso

And that's worth stating a fight over? I don't care if your SSID says "godelski smells bad", it's a silly thing to start a fight over. Just be a functioning adult. Ignore it and move on with your life. It'll ne
