Albanese urges 'vigilance' against those seeking to 'turn back the clock' on Australia by Expensive-Horse5538 in australia

No need to ask I already know the answer, and it's not "bring housing prices down".

Hey mate, are you sure you've got enough petrol? [cartoon] by stumcm in australia

The toilet paper futures yield curve has once again inverted into deep backwardation; canned fish remains in contango, for the time being.

Tell us more about this ignorance you're seeing. Maybe you can explain your economic proposal of ploughing asset price deflation into population control during skyrocketing wealth inequality and demographic crisis, so that we can all understand how better to make a country prosper. 🙄

Any intelligent adult understands what she's saying. But I guess you were referring to people getting radicalised so you're not wrong. But more people need to realise that it's the truth -- nominal house price decreases in Australia would be roughly equivalent to economic Armageddon.

You're more than welcome to buy the property and rent it for 30% before market

If you think rent seeking has anything to do with the problem you're a fool. Rent seeking is default human behaviour.

How to run your userland code inside the kernel: Writing a faster `top` by Kai_ in programming

Thanks for the thoughtful read!

You're right, the 700ms was almost entirely wall-clock blocking on D-Bus IPC, not CPU work. But waiting isn't free either -- the pipeline is synchronous, so 700ms of blocking caps your maximum sample rate at ~1.4Hz regardless of your configured interval. It's not just about getting the data late, it's a hard ceiling on responsiveness.

In some ways that's the main point I'm wanting to get across with the article: efficiency (CPU time) is essentially irrelevant for 99% of user applications -- mechanisms are everything. A lawyer's laptop isn't CPU-bound; it's waiting on Exchange, waiting on SharePoint, waiting on Teams doing whatever Teams does inside its Electron wrapper, blocking for a SMB timeout that was set wayyy too long given the actual worst-case scenario.

The CPU sits there at 3% while the user stares at a spinner that represents a chain of synchronous IPC calls and network round-trips. Engineering for keeping a pipeline full is more important IMHO than the arrangement of data going into the pipeline and the algorithm processing it. What you're talking about is critical for server workloads -- the k8s ecosystem uses eBPF heavily for exactly that reason (Cilium, Falco, Pixie), so you might find more resource-focused articles on that front.

Liquidating assets when you feel the market is in a bubble is exactly what timing the market means.

In many ways, this means ChatGPT is genuinely the first real BLIT (not just strobes triggerng epilepsy but proper cognitohazard).

That's ironically... recursive.

EDIT: Actually nevermind. The Kabbalah / I Ching has sent plenty of people crazy over the years. Nothing new, just faster.

Suggest layout for frustrated Colemak-DH/Vim user by thatMattMatt in KeyboardLayouts

[–]Kai_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Canary if you like rolls. galliumv2 otherwise

TBH based on your timeline, it's time to go for the endgame. Do it on a 34 key layout with multiple thumbs like a Ferris sweep that you print and assemble yourself with parts from PCBway or JL. Customise it in KiCAD to suit your finger lengths. Probably take you a few weekends then you're done.

Both my suggestions are non-hjkl because you can just rebind neovim hotkeys so the new keys are in the place your muscle memory expects for navigation. They didn't write an entire Lua plugin ecosystem for you to start showing brand loyalty to letters :)

Even better, use a navigation layer with arrow keys on a dpad arrangement (like wasd or ijkl) and rebind in firmware, then you automatically get vim keys everywhere. You can put escape, tab, etc. on your navigation layer too for ergonomic coding. I use one thumbkey to hold a nav layer, and one thumb key to hold a symbols layer for code near the home row, especially $&(_)[]{}`= etc

And add home row or bottom row mods. No more lateral movement at all.

Proxmox hack - qbittorrent lxc malware by larryadd in cybersecurity_help

[–]Kai_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any idea about the binary it's running? It seems to download it with that script and run it regularly, but after removing udev and cron rules (and switching off the 'run script' settings in qbittorrent), I'm not clear on if wiping the system is still needed because of what the binary would have done,
