how does this reduction in heartbeat at night affect the body?

been using for a while. nice Ubuntu distro.

system76 is great


I daily drive a PopOS (22) on my laptop, it simplifies dealing with Nvidia drivers.

I recently upgraded to the 24.x version that runs Cosmic DE. While I loved the visuals and design, the whole OS was buggy. The GitHub issues about memory leaks I faced related to cosmic have been open for a while.


Yeah I'm still on 22. But I also usually use the ESR versions of Firefox and Thunderbird, because especially when I'm traveling, I value the stability of my home workstation over almost all else.

can you link these issues? i'm planning upgrade from 22.x but i'm afraid of some breaking issues. also did you upgrade or reinstall ? if upgrade, were there some issues with that ?

https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic-epoch/issues/2851

I was a big fan of popos (for a long time) and upgraded to the latest rust based one. However my firefox stopped working (no response for toolbar menu items and buttons).

The work around is to reset your display. After having to do this 5+ times a day (for months), I said sod it and went to ubuntu 22. Sad.

note: failed only my intel nuc, but not on thinkpad x1 carbon.


Not the commenter above. I used popOs 22 for 4-5 yeas daily, and have been quite happy. I was prompted to update to 24 through the system panel, accepted, and after the update was done, I encountered multiple issues with Cosmic. Could not restore, and after futile attempts, wiped and re-installed Ubuntu 22. I do not have a system76 PC, but an older Dell WS. I regret accepting the suggested breaking update.

Yeah, the COSMIC lack of polish caused me to jump to CachyOS.

cloud vs bare metal is:

are you a capable engineer or do you believe in magic?

the savings of a cheap engineer disappear on the cloud bill. get a badass well paid engineer who can do both and doesn't talk his way out of this financial madness


> get a badass well paid engineer who can do both

Well, fine, but its abundantly clear that this blog post was not written by a "badass well paid engineer".

The person who wrote that blog post was clearly unaware of the trade-offs of the decisions he was making.


OVH is awesome

I'm trying something like Duolingo mixed with Dark souls

https://dondeng.com

WIP (need more work in multi-hanzi words), but won't stay in the same 5 words for more than a day. it has been working well for me

the most interesting thing was GPT helped with the sentences and simplified words meaning and bing translate provided the audios

the goal is get the ~2000 words you need to be proficient in 1 year, 5 words a day plus refresh old words, also it keep track of your progress against the year, no streaks


  >Empty landing page with a "Sign in with Google" button

  >Can't find anyone else talking about it online, no screenshots of the gameplay, nothing
That's gonna be a no from me, dawg. It sounds like a cool idea, but sites have to get better about asking you to hand over your credentials without even telling you what exactly your getting for them.

empty? there's one promise: Learn Mandarin in one year. One lesson a day, 365 days.

that's exactly what it does. free. no ads.

yeah, google it. nobody in there, you won't enter, well you're not a maverick in curve of adoption. that's fine.

hand over your credentials? what's credentials? a Google oauth login?

uh?


I have tried to use tiger beetle in production. haven't been successful yet.

nice stuff, multi master replication.

user API, super small.

doubts about how to do streaming backup.

after studying the API and doing some spike architectures I come to the conclusion (I may be wrong):

tiger beetle is awesome to keep the account balance. that's it.

because you pretty much get the transactions affecting and account and IIRC there was not a lot you can do about how to query them or use them.

also I was thinking it would be nice to have something like an account grouping other accounts to answer something like: how much money out user accounts have in this microsecond?

I think that was more or less about itm they have some special fields u128 to store ids to the transaction they represent into your actual system

and IIRC handle multi currency in different books

my conclusion was: I think I don't get it yet. I think I'm missing something. had to write a ruby client for it and build an UI to play with the API and do some transactions and see how it behaved. yet that was my conclusion

would be great to have an official UI client


> how much money out user accounts have in this microsecond

My understanding is that if you want aggregations or sub accounts then you need to duplicate transactions and maintain them yourself. This may seem like it would be annoying, but I suspect it would mostly be a matter of code organization.

I expect typical TigerBeetle (TB) clients will develop and maintain an application-level library that builds up a set of TB transactions that encode each business-level transaction. For example, if a "business transaction" is "marking a purchase order as received", the corresponding set of TB transactions might include: 1. moving the received qty from the pending receipt qty account to the inventory qty account for the received line items, 2. adding the total cost to the inventory value account for this item, 3. adding the price to the Accounts Payable (AP) account for this vendor, 4. adding the shipping price to the AP account for the delivery company, etc. But then you might want some aggregations, so you'd do the same thing again and add the price to the "total inventory value" and "total accounts payable" accounts, etc.

In fact you might want 3, 4 or even more parallel ledgers at different levels of aggregation, which could all be maintained within the application library. I wonder if there's a name for this technique. My only concern is that if you break down your business transaction into fine grained detail like this and then duplicate it with multiple aggregations then that 8000 transaction limit starts looking a lot smaller.


yeah, it becomes prone to mistakes and totals not matching between accounts, but with the atomicity of TB and some good testing this seems viable

On the streaming side, are you looking for Change Data Capture?

sorry, i meant something like an external continuous backup. just in case the system get compromised, a constant off-site non operational backup

Have you tried Convex?

I have dealt with many criminals through my life.

some simply wanna be Pablo Escobar and become a reggaeton poster child. they don't do it for other reason than become their mental image of a gangster.

yes, they are intelligent but they insist and insist into do what they consider cool, and that coolness come to be a "hacker" or a criminal

so far from top of my mind I remember a serial corporate scammer, a social media middle man who constantly sell access to people working in meta (unlocking/locking accounts), a drug precursor middlewoman, a money laundering mule/scammer/errand boy. every time it was the same. they wanted to show a gangster luxury life in ig. the middlewoman was something else, never got to understand her. 60 years. probably she was just for the thrill of it.

had they opportunities to do something else? repeatedly. specially after prison or with family help. but they refuse, the next business will be the one. they will become millionaires for sure. jail again.


that's exactly my perspective on it. it's not about the ukranian, sudanese, Syrian, Irani or Yemeni.

those lives seem to be way less worthy of press judging for the coverage the left want to put in Palestinian people.

it doesn't follow the principle of equal value on lives but a political agenda and mountains of useful trend followers


Unlike Ukraine, Yemen, Syria and Sudan, the United States has been involved in the Gaza war since Day 1.

It's not that the deaths are more valuable, it's that those are the civilian deaths the United States is most-culpable for.


I mean, there is differe between civilians killed by soldiers and ... literally soldiers who are there for the purpose of killing locals.

Russian army can stop the invasion any time they decide and individual men who are there were hired as aggressors.


Let's not confuse things. One thing is lives lost at a war, another thing is lives lost at a genocide.


One is victim if genocide. Other us someone who attempted genocide and was stopped by force.


this.


this is the best comment and explanation of the whole thread.

thank you so much for having built and shared this
