I think a common misconception is that the concern is about the ionization potential of the radiation. The way I've heard it explained is that microwave frequencies (including, but not limited to, 5G signals) affect the ion channels of cells, preventing normal cellular function and increasing the risk of a variety of disorders, particularly neurological.

I've recently spent a few hours in NixOS land. I even built my own ISO and booted into it from an SD card. If you want a 30 minute intro to getting started then just ping me. I'm en route to something like what you want and I'm not far ahead of you.

Are you sure about that? See "Why a new version control system?" at

and the linked "badmerge" example:

I read your article. It was really easy to follow. I'm not sure I'll feel the magic until I write it myself, though. You made it easy enough to follow. Plus, the magpie parser source looks clean. Thanks for sharing your work!

I guess I'm confused like @raybb. Why would a service outage make it more likely that someone will opt in to a storage plan? I wouldn't want to jump into a service that's been recently demonstrated to be unavailable for extended periods of time.

A few sentences in.

> "Sanskirt for 'chord'

Sanskrit, you mean?

Ah, thank you! I did a quick search (just "finch") but nothing relevant was on the first page. "finch software" got me what I wanted (a few results down the page).

finch?

Mark's earlier post [1] which covered divisibility much more extensively mentioned a division algorithm that I've never learned: short division.

Also, that earlier post introduces a graph-/regex-/dfa-based solution for solving divisibility that reminds me of [2].

Yep, you were right. Thanks for the link!

Ahhhh, it's a closed-loop feedback system, a function that depends on itself. Endogenous. Got it. Thanks!

What's meant by "tenancy lengths are endogenous"? For me, "endogenous" refers to biological processes. I'm missing the connection to tenancy duration.

What has changed is that deployments happen 3x faster.

I would guess that this wouldn't introduce more or less build breaks. People will do as they've been doing. The psychological argument can be made that people could be either less safe with their commits, since they have 72 hours to fix any problem breaking a long-running CI job, or they could be more safe with their commits, fearing they'll break a long-running CI job. Personally, I don't think that either position has a lot of strength.

I'm confused about this. I think you understand what you're saying. I've seen your RISC-V runtime library.

Can you explain in a bit more detail how I navigate this randomized table as a syscall user to call the right one? I call socket(), say. And that is mapped to index 12 of the randomized syscall table. How is it found at runtime?

> just by making the executable code execute-only?

What else would I do with executable code?

Also, what does it mean to make an exploit "hard"? Hard to write an exploit (offensive) or hard to mitigate (defensive)?

What's his plan? Take it day by day? Watch his back?

Also (infer no adversarial tone), he seems to imply that he needs to be prepared to defend himself against attack, ostensibly using his lingering Krav Maga skill and instincts. Does that violate his pacifism?

Maybe "pacifist", in this context, should be understood to mean "unaffiliated with any gang".

Not OP. But, I found it here: https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2020/10/googles-supreme-...

I'm not sure anyone was expecting to replace the grocery store with a balcony garden. If so, a lot of people would be doing it, I'm sure.

This assumes that people will substitute their home gardening time with app development, doctoring, clothing production, etc. When, by my observation, it will be spent in a non-productive fashion. Not to sound like a Protestant, but this sort of work is good for the soul.

Also, I don't want to be dependent on a monocultured, government-subsidized, efficient conglomerate agribusiness if it's operations contain externalities whose price we could partially avoid paying simply by having a tarp filled with dirt and some potatoes and skipping one Netflix show a few times per week.

You beat me to it. I had it in my clipboard.

How did you know about this guy? I never would have heard about someone like this unless you had mentioned him.

History is full of amazing people that I'll never know about. It's sad.

Sorry, just noticed this was a repost: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22408604 .

Boy, can this guy write, or what? Eugene Wei's content always enraptures me. Really captivating stuff.

In hindsight, how would you have used the documentation of the Raspberry Pi architecture to determine whether UASP is supported?

Also, I'm really curious if your only problem with that Arcanite was only that it was a defective unit. If anyone reading has any other ideas for diagnosing that problem then I'd love to know them.

Great guide, Jeff. Really enjoyable (and informative!).

One of the claims in the video is that: If all of the trees in the United States (I think) were burned in these plants that it would power the United States (I think) for one year (I'm sure). Given that it takes more than 1 year to regrow all of the trees it seems like a foolish decision.

Apparently some of the plants also choose/have to incinerate vulcanized rubber (tires) to burn green/wet lumber.

Frankly, just using the documentary as my reference, this seems like an awful scheme and I can't fathom how subsidies and policy supported this technology.

I just saw a Michael Moore-affiliated documentary (directed and hosted by some guy I've never seen before - Jeff Gibbs) . It might only be a bunch of hype. But, it drew attention to a huge source of renewable energy that I've never heard of before: biomass plants. One of the theses of this documentary is that biomass plants mainly run off of forested timber, so the use of these power plants (as a primary renewable energy resource in Germany and seemingly Michigan) is far from green/renewable.

Is this a "haters gonna hate" kind of situation or are biomass plants legitimately an evil in disguise?

Woah. Everything but "general admission" is full already.

"turn clown"? I tried searching and using context. Nothing.

Does it mean, "make a lot of money", "write fantastical stories", or "become like someone else (the clown)"?

Streaming. I thought about this in the interfile sense, but not the intrafile sense. This makes sense.

Can someone explain why I might use this instead of downloading a select group of files using a torrent file/magnet link? Is the advantage that it selectively downloads files on an as-needed basis? Or, is the product niche somehow related to the fact that the torrent file/magnet link is mounted as a filesystem, instead of only as a collection of files and folders?
