Concerning how widespread DBT is: In the last five years in grad school, I knew many people doing a psychology PhD and DBT was one of the major training focuses for their clinical psychology curriculum. I would say the characterization given by this article matches very closely with what they told me over the last ~5 years.

My impression of DBT compared to CBT, based on what my friends told me, is that DBT is much more confrontational. I remember one friend even specifically said that it took her a long time to "unlearn" the therapist's natural response to affirm and validate, but then redirect negative feelings with skills.


I like it, but the fact that you don't have to input the whole word correctly and only each individual letter really conflicts with my muscle-memory to correct mistakes. I also think the animations and effects are a little over the top and they distract me from typing.


Objective statements require some evidence. Are you referring to evidence elsewhere in the conversation or have you forgotten to include it?


Like I previously wrote, the evidence is the monopolistic-style European companies that exist in different sectors than software.


Can you give an example of a European consumer-oriented business being a monopoly in the EU? When it was founded? How is it regulated?


Probably an obvious addendum here, but the classes I remember having the most engaging lectures were flipped style where you didn't need to take notes necessarily, because the class was about discussing and deepening the understanding of material you saw already. That was true for my physics classes as well as philosophy. I think it was doubled up in usefulness when we were assigned material that asked us to act on our deepened understanding soon, e.g. before the next class period, such as one of the many "opinion pieces" we wrote for things like dualism/monism, etc.

Technical subjects achieve this with labs, too. It doesn't scale but we see clearly that scaling isn't always very desirable, especially if it leads to this regression.


I don't know but if you want to find out a good place to look is Luke Ranieri's Polymathy/ScorpioMartianus channels. He engages very actively with the Ancient Greek and Latin languages and his content is also useful for discovering other links.

The tl;dr with Ancient Greek as I understand it (warning) is that dramatically less content was written and over a much larger time period. Homer's works are even described as their own (Homeric) and as such it makes "Ancient Greek" a more nebulous term than "Latin," even when you account for Old/Classical/Late branches. In turn, making it in my estimation harder to have a Fr. Foster equivalent.

Look into it and let me know.


It's funny to hear someone describe my daily driver personal laptop in the same way as a 380Z. I use Slackware with Xfce4 and except for the lower screen resolution (1360x768) I have never noticed that it's not "modern." I even have a new battery so it gets 6-9 hours of use again.

Like you said, the giveaway is the poor performance, but if you're a systems developer that usually isn't a problem anyway. Emacs, C, assembly, some Chisel and Forth are all that I write on it.


A T42 with slackware and notion wm was my daily driver until around 2015, never really felt a need to get something newer and only did because I wanted something smaller/lighter for portability so I get a cheap $250 11e Thinkpad. Used the T42 regularly until it finally died in 2021 or 22. Miss the 4:3 screen and tiny trackpad. In just shy of 20 years the only issues I had with the T42 was a dead fan. Now I have an X13, 16 cores and NVMe still running slackware and notion, it flies. That $250 11e is still going strong, has survived 3 bike crashes and it shows.


I used a T42p (not just a measly T42, that's for the proles) as a daily machine until forced to move away from 32 bit machines around 2021. Were it not for that I'd still be using it daily - I got three of them in nearly new condition for free about a decade earlier, all of them still work, one of them with a new translucent trackpad cover (made from an old mobile phone screen protector) because the old one was totally worn through - since the combination of the 1600x1200 4:3 (more or less) screen and the keyboard are hard to beat. I'm now using a P50 which, while offering far better lacks the 4:3 screen and 'suffers' from the modern Lenovo keyboard.


>not just a measly T42, that's for the proles

What do you think the 'p' in T42p really stands for? T42p did not exist when I bought my T42 back in 01 or 02. X13 keyboard is almost as enjoyable to use as the T42's was for the first decade of its existence, X13's wins hands down over a T42 keyboard with a decade of use and tired springs. I am pretty happy with their current keyboards.


I still rock a Latitude E6220 from 2011 or so after my main one broke and I just never replaced it.

It had 4gb ram, upgraded it to 8gb for $10 via Amazon, running Alpine with awesomewm and it works perfectly fine, firefox runs fine, compiling works fine, VLC works fine, etc.

Even Windows 10 ran on it fine. Really, CPU's haven't changed so much in the last 10 years, the focus has all bee on graphics.


This is very cool and very useful as a commuting cyclist. The routes that OSM and Google give me don't always have a high "reasonability" score in that they may be the most direct routes, but the road conditions are very uncomfortable for cycling for any one of many reasons.

One thing that would be very useful is to color the segments on the map based on the waytype. The proportions are given in the summary but unless I already know the route I can't tell where exactly those segments of difficult cobblestone are.


The use of LD_PRELOAD as part of the attack surface makes me think that a statically-linked binary has some value. Not a maximalist approach like some experimental distros, but I think there's clearly some value in your standard userland utilities always performing "as you expect," which LD_PRELOAD subverts. Plenty of Linux installs around the world get on fine using BusyBox as the main (only?) userland utility package.


They load a kernel driver so your avoidance of LD_PRELOAD wouldn’t really be able to protect against this anyway.


Unless I misread they don't state exactly how the attack escalates privileges to install the driver. Could there be two versions of the attack with varying levels of severity?


This is presently how my website works. I'm no webdev so I'm probably committing all sorts of heresies, though. I use m4 macros to build the header/footer structure with links and coloring and whatnot. Then the content pages are emacs Org files I publish to HTML and include with the m4 macros. You can do a surprisingly large amount with Org Export.

I'm currently a PhD student working on my dissertation in trusted computing. I have published papers in high-performance computing, virtualization, and trusted computing, with a focus on operating systems and system software. I have written hypervisors for Intel x86, developed OS kernels for ARM and RISC-V at national labs, and written hardware drivers for our research kernels as well as Linux. Our research focuses on multi-kernel contexts and the advantages that pairing an alternative kernel with Linux can get us. Right now I'm working on my dissertation but am eager to pursue opportunities that would occur in the spring.
