I know not much about Zed and I am curious, can such changes be implemented via extensions?

Nicholas Taleb has a great article about this - https://medium.com/@nntaleb/the-world-in-which-we-live-7255a...

A lot of Americans live in houses and neighborhoods where keeping chickens is simply not allowed.

Source: just got done cutting some pine trees on a hill behind my house because we got a notice. They will absolutely throw a fit, if we kept chickens

It would affect people who were not allowed to work because their company was not sure if they are allowed to work in New Zealand. At individuals level sure, this is going to have little to no effect.

But - lot of people need their employers permission to work in a different country and Employers have specific policies about where an Employee is allowed to work depending on Employee's status in that country.

Magnus may be better player than Gukesh, but the reason he is not defending WC title is not because Gukesh or any opponent is not good enough, but because it takes too much freaking preparation to defend WC title and he doesn't think it is worth the effort.

A completely unprepared Magnus vs a 100% prepared opponent will go to a better prepared opponent (See Magnus interviews if you don't believe this). 4-6 months spending memorizing lines is not easy. It is too much work. Magnus has already proven he is GOAT, he doesn't have to prove anything.

But - this doesn't take away achievement from other players, if Magnus doesn't want to be bothered doing all the prep.I wonder if we will say the same thing in any other sport.

Ma Long for example - did not participated in Paris Olympic singles, does that mean Fan Zedong or Truls moregard achievement was any less? Nobody would say that.

I was thinking about this and one way of thinking is what u said. We already allow sale of spaceships which have non-zero failure rate. So we don't necessarily need zero failure rate self driving.

But a problem with cars is, usually ur malfunctioning calculator just harms u, but a malfunctioning car will affect people who don't agree with ur choice of driving non-zero failure rate self driving car.

So it is not a personal choice anymore.

hose parties I throw are the highlight of my year. My parents staying here with me is important to me, I wouldn't have it any other way.

There is a silver lining in smaller houses. They tend to be in denser neighborhoods and hence has some benefits in raising kids. There is no need to setup play dates, they can literally hear each other screaming and come out to play.

In my bigger house neighborhood, I see very few kids just playing casually outside and hence we have to setup play dates. Yes now I have place for table tennis table that I always wanted but I have to call my friends over because bigger house in my case also is bit more further in suburbs.

So big house might be great for parties and hosting guests but i probably traded away closeness to my existing friends for myself and kids both. I just made my median day more boring than before.

but I've always been pretty leery of giving up the trivial snapshotting and rollbacks and other creature comforts of old-school virtualization when it comes to deploying long running applications,

You can do that too with k8s with APIs which support more than just one backend.

I am the author of k8s resizing feature and its been GAed for awhile and feedback we have got so far has been good. If anything running inside k8s makes it relatively easy to support resizing. You just need to specify new size for PVC and it will both perform resizing on the cloudprovider and of the file system (if needed).

Modifying IOPS and other volume attributes is something less frequently needed but we just released alpha support for that too, if you must need it.

We have also added support for reporting volume usage in CSI specs, which I know some operators use to automatically resize volumes when certain threshold is reached (I however do not recommend using ephemeral metrics for automating something like this). But point is - you can actually define CRDs that persist volume usage and have it used by an higher level operator.

Another thing is - k8s makes it relatively easy to take snapshots which can be automated too and that should give someone additional peace of mind if something goes haywire.

Obviously I am biased and I know there are some lingering issues that require manual intervention when using stateful workloads (such as when a node crashes), but k8s should be just as good for running stateful workloads IMO.

Another thing is - k8s volumes are nothing but bind mounts from host namespace into container's namespace and hence there should be no performance penalty of using them.

I dont know but numerous articles point out that gpt4 has passed turing test. Are you refuting their claim entirely?

. I guess SeaBIOS can't figure out how to assign I/O space to all devices that want some, and so it simply gives up?

It appears that although for some devices VM works fine but for others the VM refuses to boot (esp e100)

So the answer might be more nuanced than it seems?

I would say it is getting harder. Walmart for example I think has switched to largely self-checkout with some helpers thrown in.

Other stores where had more than 3 or 4 human manned lanes, now have just 1 most of the time.

Same goes for almost all grocery shops here - Publix, Kroger, target etc replacing checkout with self-checkout kiosks completely.

I absolute hate using self-checkout for non-packaged groceries items. Especially if I have lots of stuff. Freaking "unintended item in baggage area".

Not to mention, I feel like Publix etc in particular employed lots of folks with disability. It warmed my heart to talk to them.

I don't know what humanity plans is. Even if we pay folks free money, they still loose on social interactions.

It also depends on where they are in H1B process. These days perm and i140 approvals are taking ages(2 years). Basically engineer is stuck while they come out at the other side.

Also a lot of employers who had layoffs aren't sponsoring new Green cards because u know...

It is no fun being on H1B...

I know there is lot of gripe about the display not being 4k, but I personally love 2560x1600 on 16inch monitors.

In Linux I can run this without any fractional scaling at 100% resolution. To account for small text, I can change font size by 1.1 or something similar via gnome-tweaks and similar font size adjustment for apps that don't honor gnome-tweaks setting.

I know this is not ideal if you are coming from Mac, but this IMO leads to much more smoother experience and no blurry text anywhere. The same setting works if I am plugging into 32inch 4k display.

Actually encyclopedia Britannica supports argument that it was war time measures that caused famine. From same article:

It was ultimately special wartime factors that caused this difficult situation to become a disastrous famine. Fearing Japanese invasion, British authorities stockpiled food to feed defending troops, and they exported considerable quantities to British forces in the Middle East. They also confiscated boats, carts, and elephants in Chittagong, where the invasion was expected.

I think the question is was the resources diverted from same regions to fight the war or policy decisions taken which would accelerate the onset of famine?

Quoting from the book:

The "rice denial" policy saw soldiers confiscate and destroy rice deemed surplus; according to one journalist, thousands of tons of rice were thrown into the water in east Bengal.[8] The "boat denial" policy saw 46,000 boats able to carry more than ten passengers confiscated; bicycles, carts and elephants were also taken.[9] One civil servant said the policy "completely broke the economy of the fishing class" in Bengal.

The answer seems an resounding yes - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Churchill%27s_Secret_War#:~:....

Much better review of new generation framework laptop - https://www.notebookcheck.net/Core-i7-1370P-performance-debu...

What would be battery capacity of 16 inch model? Please let it be - 99.9Whr. :-)

Congrats on the Launch. This might be Framework Laptop I finally could use as my daily driver for regular dev. work etc.

Even though sometimes using Paypal causes me to lose "reward" points, I do use quite a bit. For things like annual domain renewal - it is a life saver. I have had my domain expire far too many times with Credit Cards.

I am not sure. The Thinkpad has 90WH battery and Macbook has 99WH, it is bigger but not 362gm heavier.

I work on container stuff, so may be my POV is bit different but:

1. I had hard time fighting openssl installed by Homebrew and getting Python to use it. On Linux - this is never an issue. In general IMO using homebrew is fairly tedious.

2. Debugging of stuff running on Linux. Sometimes logging is not enough and while remote debugging can be made to work (I mainly use Goland), it is pretty fiddly and does not work reliably.

I am not new to Mac or anything tbh. I used to use Mac about 5 years ago exclusively and then Linux for next 5 years and now using Mac again. IMO for kind of work I do - Linux is just leaps ahead of Mac.

I have both a latest generation Thinkpad P1 Gen5 and Macbook Pro 16 inch M1 pro and while it is true that Macbook comes pretty close to being a perfect laptop, I still miss the productivity of a Linux laptop (for backend dev work).

From what hardware POV you are correct, I wish though Apple would adopt Carbon Magnesium chasis that thinkpad uses. For same 16inch size, Thinkpad is noticeably lighter. I can happy lug my P1 Gen5(16 inch) model anywhere, whereas 16inch macbook pro is hefty.

Yeah I think sand is used to control the heat distribution, which is hard to do when you are cooking over fire from wood or something similar.

I am pretty sure it used to be sand. Comments on same youtube video:

Sand is also used in a similar process, but only for roasting groundnuts/peanuts, which can be cleaned easily afterward.

This reminds me of my childhood in India where my grandma and mom will "fry" everything whole and it used to be delicious. Little but chopped onion, cilantro and lemon makes it even yummier.

I said fried for lack of better word but the way it gets done is - just stir and toss them with hot sand in a wide mouth clay pot. When it is done, just use a sieve to separate sand and the grain.

It is pretty wholesome snack. Cooked wheat, corn, rice, chickpeas. U name it.

EDIT - Here is a video of it https://www.youtube.com/shorts/8xW3gFxN34c

Also as a non-native English speaker, unless always makes me do a double take. It is not a word that naturally translates in my head, but that might just be me.

Lol - you are not alone. Netflix has weird stuff and in a good way. Ironically - some of their biggest/big name shows are also some of the worst (I am looking at Witcher series), but as a sci-fi fan, Netflix is pretty good.

This is disney+hulu+espn combined!

When hotstar was bundled with Hulu - hulu suddenly got huge infusion of Indian movies and shows. Nothing Netflix has even comes close.

I wonder also, if they are counting hotstar, which is pretty big in India.

Having said that - I personally find content on disney+ boring and stale. Some Marvel and Star War spin offs are okay, but most are meh. I don't know how to put it, but disney+ is trying too hard to en-cash popularity of existing franchise and I believe lacks depth.

Netflix while has uneven programming has/had shows which are pretty good and break new ground(IMO). Queen's Gambit, Dragon Prince, Arcana etc are pretty good. They have also wasted money on the whole witcher show and their "original" movies are by and large meh.

Looks pretty neat and available in default fedora 36 repos. But list of dependencies it pulls in is huge! 566!

I wasn't expecting to install 566 packages for installing something that can compare directories. :-)
