I've seen a bash history where "sudo chown -R me:me /" was followed up by "sudo chown +R me:me /". At least they tried.

You can reference docker images by their SHA digest which is immutable, e.g.:

    docker pull redis@sha256:619af14d3a95c30759a1978da1b2ce375504f1af70ff9eea2a8e35febc45d747

"Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans in the finite space of a planetary ecosystem as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flash. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who do survive." - Pardot Kynes, First Planetologist of Arrakis

Plenty of handguns, shotguns, and lever and bolt action rifles are legal to own in Chicago.

The Dan Harmon apology is very good and, as far as I understand (I'm not on Twitter), was generally well received: https://time.com/5100019/dan-harmon-megan-ganz-sexual-harass...

Ooo this is so cool [0]. I need to know the implementation details. How are the clips stored? Are they dynamically generated with ffmpeg or something or is every line of dialogue clipped out ready to serve? How many films and what are the storage costs?

Rootclaim has some fairly compelling analysis which suggests the lab leak scenario is more likely: https://www.rootclaim.com/analysis/What-is-the-source-of-COV...

We use Nutanix where I work and this has made everyone very excited. Though they would need something similar to Nutanix CE to make us switch entirely (i.e. the ability to run non-production unsupported on commodity hardware).

I feel the need to mention that Curtis Yarvin owns "a few thousand" Urbit stars [0]. If your goal is to make Urbit succeed, you'll end up making him very powerful and wealthy in the process.

Do corporations pay tax on their payroll? I'm not understanding what's being doubly taxed here.

The weight of your tires is in the worst place for rotational mass. You'll definitely feel it if you're doing city riding between frequent red lights but it could arguably be a benefit if you're cruising for long distances as it'll act like a fly wheel to some extent.

You've just made me run outside to check my meter. What do you use to read it and are you happy with it?

Cars these days are shaped more by a wind tunnel than a designer. This is especially true for EVs where range is an important number.

I've been burned by bad uses of eMMC twice this year.

First, Polycom Studio destroys itself: https://knowledgebase-iframe.polycom.com/kb/viewContent.do;j...

Secondly, all the Edgecore top o' rack switches we have are backed by eMMC and will all eventually go read-only. This is an especially fun surprise while working remotely.

Shit's junk and should never store anything that gets written to regularly (i.e. a log file).

Due to the selling frenzy, GME is more volatile than ever but Robinhood is now allowing buys, so what has changed between this morning and now? It seems like the counterparty risk would be even higher than this morning?

I really miss the act of browsing someones music collection like you could do with Napster and Soulseek around the turn of the century. Definitely going to check this out!

textfiles.com. I was born too late to get into BBS's but I was just the right age to read Jolly Roger's Cookbook (http://textfiles.com/anarchy/JOLLYROGER/).

I think it should be reasonably defensible. It's not just a failure of the architecture though. The tactics used were mostly ineffective. Defensive forces were positioned thinly with few real blockades. I saw one instance of police blocking an entrance through sheer mass and it was effective. The cops could have been done the same in the interior hallways instead of giving up their spread out weak positions. This would have prevented the use of firearms.

If you can stomach it, I ask everyone to watch the full lead up to the shot. It is an absolute failure of policing. Start at 37:20 on https://banned.video/watch?id=5ff6857e00bac0328da8e888 and yes it's NSFL (shot at 39:10).

The breach of the capitol building is an embarrassment. There's not reinforced glass on the first floor windows? The secured interior is 3 cops in front of a wooden door with plate glass windows? And those cops just kinda slinked away letting a woman breach it and get insta killed? The outside perimeter is just a few cops in front of some fencing? What a fucking failure.

A technology very similar to this plays a plot point in Vernor Vinge's 1992 novel A Fire Upon the Deep.

In his universe, both the interstellar net and combat links between ships are low bandwidth. Hence, video is interpolated between sync frames or recreated from old footage. Vinge calls the resulting video "evocations".

It looks like they're using DAC: https://blog-cloudflare-com-assets.storage.googleapis.com/20...
