It's not that.

It's Google becoming more and more mainstream. It's Lowest Common Denominator Google.

Every revision, something else is gone. Another menu is missing, another option.

After scouring enough Google Support forums, tinkering in enough settings and trying enough workarounds, it's the only solution I can come to.

Google isn't the hacker search engine we fell in love with over a decade ago.

It's an advertising company looking to monetize on a user's lack of privacy to help connect them with advertisers. Adwords is 99% of their business. We can't just ignore that forever.

The lowest common denominator of user is the the type of user is probably most susceptible not controlling their privacy well enough and for Google being able to target them widely. How much does Google really care about us ad-block toting hacker types anyway?
I've been asked multiple times, trying to get me to use my real name on YT.
"Polyfill", now that's a real train wreck of a name. In comparison, "srcset" is a beacon of clarity.
I think there are a bunch of fields, like medicine, medical research (except doing some software simulations of stuff), finance (the process management, not the calculation part), politics and law etc. that are inherently hostile to revolution by software - most competent programmers run away screaming after contact with any such domain and only the dumb ones remain, churning dumb software that doesn't actually solve the problems. And the few good ones that stay become dumbed down and only work at ~40% of their iq and productivity because their minds basically choke on the sheer amount of disorganized domain specific knowledge they have to absorb.

I think if we were to make an analogy of "information as alcohol", a programmer's mind is like an installation that only works well with very "distilled" information (say "vodka" and "whisky" :) ) and may work ok with "wine", but it completely sluggs down if you give it "beer" (completely undistilled information). In some domains (medicine is one that I know of), information is so undistilled, diluted and corrupted that it's basically the analogue of "beer with piss in it and rats swimming in the kegs" ("the rats" are my analogue for the "mud minded" people that "just don't get it and never will" and prevent smart geeks from actually doing their jobs)... that's why I wouldn't touch it with a 100 foot pol and I imagine lots of people feels the same about these areas. I imagine this part of finance is a similar "beer pool".
I looked into Chile, but it's a surprisingly high tax place. It seems higher than even Canada in all measures.

Good taste + deliberate practice for many hours + hustle, and it’s hard not to get good at just about anything.
I'm generally not in favor of spanking, but just some observations:

- It's easy to find people who were spanked that are in favor of spanking, people who were spanked that aren't in favor of spanking, and people who weren't spanked that aren't in favor of spanking. People who weren't spanked that are in favor of spanking seem almost non-existent.

- Just perusing Google Scholar and reading abstracts, studies of spanking much more often than not link it to negative outcomes, most commonly "externalizing behavior". And while some studies find it not meaningfully linked to negative outcomes, no study I have seen links it to positive outcomes.

- Children not understanding logic the same as adults does not entail that physical punishment be necessary in child rearing.

I believe that is often credited to Col. Jeff Cooper, or at least for popularizing it.

Helium can leak into and between crystals in the metal inside the container and container itself. That process changes dimensions and mechanical properties of construction.

In this particular case I see it as a planned deprecation, sort of.
That seems to be a choice of the dairy farm to either outsource their processing or to sell to bulk purchasers. I live in the US, and a local dairy decided to start selling their product and skip the cooperative exchanges. They bottle their own milk and sell it to grocery stores. Best of all it comes in a reusable glass bottle (they charge a deposit). Their prices are higher than the more generic milk at the store, but I think the taste is much better.

I also have a coworker whose father owns a small dairy farm that sells directly to the co-ops. Different business model.

There are dual problems with renters, my personal experience leads me to believe it is not the renters that are the problem in neighborhoods with high amounts of renters.

While it is true the renter does not have "skin in the game" it is also true that many landlord put in only the absolute bare minimum of resources to maintain the rental property.

For example my grandmother before she passed lived in a aging neighborhood, as the original residents passed the homes where sold off as investment properties. She generally had a good relationship with most of the renters however the owners of homes routinely refused to repair things, refused to have proper tree maintenance done, and other such problems that would not be the responsibility of the renter.
They would have options like

1. Move

2. Take out a loan

3. Take in a boarder

4. Refuse to pay and know they will not be evicted for their lien (this could be codified statewide if this were the real problem)

I don't know why anyone would think that poorer, less-established people should be paying for these millionaires to stay there.
Still no ECC RAM on the server version, I see. Shame.

This is something I always wondered.

How can you add extra s&h and sg&a? This stuff goes from Asia, you ship it either to US or to UK (or whereever). You don't ship it from Asia to US and then to UK. The shipping should be about the same to US and UK.

Similarly with sg&a. The US operations does not have it already included in price? Or the UK (EU, whatever) customers pay for that twice?

I'm thinking there is more to it than what you've outlined. If the 188 people are, on balance, younger, one would expect a lower per capita income. Which would make the trade a horrible one. Consider, 188 young hungry twenty to thirty five year old men and women, for 151 forty to fifty year old men and women. I think if I'm Atlanta, I'm comfortable with that trade.

I think the Southern cities are doing a good job attracting a more youthful demographic. Click on Harris County in Texas, (Houston). I think it is probably the 'blackest' on the map. Most of the people moving there have lower incomes. Yet at the same time they just elected an openly lesbian woman, with an adopted black daughter as mayor. I think there is a lot of evidence like this that massive numbers of young, hungry and educated people are probably moving in to Houston.

And yet.

I think the best places to move to, are probably the ones that everyone else is moving from. For instance, I would wager that the blacks and whites moving in to the Detroit area are of a higher economic quality than the blacks and whites moving out of the Detroit area.

Your material point is correct however. We need more information to make any determinations about whether what the map tells us is promising or troubling in economic terms. I would just expand the information you cited to include more than just income. In fact, I think it is more important to know age and educational level.
That explains how he was able to label some squares as "R"eserved - I was wondering how he'd label areas smaller than his R.
Slicehost/Linode are both fine for that, will ask a friend about OVH
I think every decision the parents made, considered in isolation, could be justified. But the impression they make, as a whole, is one of parents who failed to set limits for their child, either because the weirdness of his syndrome (and possibly guilt) made them afraid to intervene, or because they were so taken by his hormonal and intellectual maturity that they didn’t recognize that he had the social skills of, well, a nine-year-old.

Yeah, limits can be negotiated, and testing limits is a normal part of adolescence, but the parents have a right and a duty to negotiate from the other side, not just surrender.

(I have three sons, aged seven, five, and three, who don’t know how lucky they are to be cute.)
Thanks. I'm equally interested in a debit card if it would provide cheaper withdrawal. In my current bank the debit VISA Electron card would be the same, but the limit is about 820 USD instead. I might go for that.
The problem, I'm told, is not the interest fees on the VISA credit card but the fact that VISA takes a foreign currency exchange fee, which my bank then passes on to me.
KeyCombiner looks very interesting.
I once worked on a keyboard visualizer for vscode (https://hediet.github.io/visual-keyboard), but I was never really happy with it.

It would be nice if keyboard shortcuts were a matter of the OS and applications would expose a list of all available commands with default shortcuts...
Does something like `apropos` in emacs exist for the shell? I've always seen that as a command to find a function or feature based on some keywords.
Thanks for your feedback. I’ve changed the message.

There are a few ways to market the idea.

Trying to find the most effective one.
As a Polish Linux user I think I'd switch between mappings in this case. One for typing źdźbłos and żółws, another to interact with shortcut-heavy apps.

I actually do this on two-alt keyboards too, because I like to use either alt for shortcuts.
Yes! The include style of templates in C is way better than the old way of huge macros to instantiate code. The template code can look mostly like idiomatic C, it interacts way better with a debugger, it gives better compiler errors... everything about it is better and it's finally starting to become more popular.

I've open sourced my own C template library here:

https://github.com/ludocode/pottery

Not only does it use the #include style of templates, but it actually makes the templates composable. It takes this idea pretty far, for example having a lifecycle template that lets you define operations on your type like move, copy, destroy, etc. This way the containers can fully manage the lifecycles of your types even if they're not bitwise movable.

There's also this other more popular C template library, one that tries to more directly port C++ templates to C but with a lot less features:

Any personal experience with Supabase? Looks cool
Can you be more specific on what you mean by "audited" ?

What does "too many formulae" mean? Like what is a specific example?

What does "not webable" mean?

Isn't it better for a person to not be triggerable?

Wouldn't you wish, if a friend of yours was chronically vunerable in a way that hindered them that, all else being equal, they would become more resilient- for their own sake?
What I am saying is that this is purely theoretical construct. That fine tuned impactful lesson that is so great, but breaks if I dont know the violence will be there, it does not exist. Not even art works that way.

And if it does, it sounds awful lot like something manipulative. Minor red flag wtf is going on manipulative. It is supposed to be college lesson.

Edit: I have seen trigger warning I lecture about American history from one of big schools (on youtube, they released it free). The lecturer just said "I will show violence" or some such and that was it. If you left the room, you would not get any special material. You would just avoid sight of dead mistreated people.
Tangent: am I alone in thinking Windows 2000 was the last good version of Windows? I feel like it had most (if not all) of the Windows features that were/are actually important, but with none of the bloat.

They make those too. HyperRAM is pretty popular for small FPGA projects: https://www.mouser.com/new/issi/issi-hyperram/ - there are tradeoffs in potential performance/interface/usability/etc but you end up saving a lot of LUT's and troubleshooting time.
That's not a Google only problem. It's a cultural problem in Silicon Valley (ex drive to disrupt) and America (ex not respecting stay-at-home parents).

The problem is the underlying market for Uber (taxi and hire cars) can't generate enough profit to support their current valuation. When you add in that Uber and similar companies are destroying the monopoly rents that the industry was enjoying then the problem is even worse.

Im not saying its even 50% true but the original comitters recent commits look almost-suspect too.

a few things that look guilty even though they might not be:

(just looking at 5 of his last 1 mo of commits)

1) hes touching a lot of crypto
2) hes removing crypto
3) hes adding ifdefs disabling services (ie #ifdef windowsstuffflag skip_eliptic_curve_encryption ) - real example . wtf.
4) im not seeing a lot of feature additions
5) oh openssl 1.0 came out i better make 1.01 2 days later with like 2 features, my tls heartbeat code and some lame other feature
6) his heartbleed commit uses the var "payload" instead of "data" or "msg" - wtf.

7) hes reversing flags in code

if ("OK" == vt_asdf_ok){
if (checkflags) {
dostuff()

becomes

if ("ok" != vt_Asdf_ok) {
}
if (!checkflags) {
//dostuff

idk i only looked at 5 commits

Tiny web app for hashing strings using different algorithms.

It's really just a tiny project I threw together when learning CherryPy. Covers itself in hosting and provides a small bit of extra change.
I run Email It In: https://emailitin.com

I have over 140 paying customers and lots more free users. This year I added support for Egnyte which should bring in some larger enterprise users. The system runs great with very little maintenance. I believe that faster expansion isn't possible or easy at the price level (advertising has been tried and proves too expensive).
I was thinking of Peacock/NBC. HBO Max may have been over subscriber fees instead, but the overall jist of when Roku doesn't have an app is that given their market share, Roku tends to insist on extra terms. For ad supported channels, some percentage of ads are served by Roku instead of the channel provider, and I believe when signing up for a paid channel via Roku, they get a recurring cut of the subscription.
There are a number of factors.

* EPA range != real range. Porsche only did the 2 cycle test that has a 0.7 adjustment factor while Tesla does the 5 cycle test with no adjustment. Taycan has been shown to significantly beat its EPA range in a variety of conditions by nearly everyone who tests one (and is particularly good at high speed due to excellent aero). Teslas struggle to make their EPA range in nearly all conditions.

* Taycan has an excellent charge curve, sustaining higher charge rates for longer than model 3

* Most US superchargers are 150 kW and Taycan can take advantage of most of the 300 kW (thanks to 800V) at the Electrify America stations

* Traffic is low due to covid, so more opportunities to open it up

Check the Out of Spec youtube channel as there will be a breakdown of the run coming (as well as details of the model 3 run from 2019). Kyle also discussed it in quite a bit of detail on the Smoking Tire podcast (also available on youtube).

Kyle has said on a number of occasions up to about 120-130 mph it's better to drive faster, burning battery more quickly compared to driving slower and conserving battery.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/five-myths-about-j-e...

They call everything "a myth" and then cite strong circumstantial and testimonial evidence that those "myths" are true, only to dismiss everything with hand waving about how "we'll never know" what his extremely private and mysterious sex life was like. Give me a break.
It doesn't seem that measly to me. By my estimate, it would be enough for my collection of academic papers I'm saving to grow to about 4,000, which, at my current reading rate, gives me about 40 years of runway.

It wouldn't be much for a phone or tablet. But phones and tablets also need to be able to store apps, photos, videos, and audio content.
This article seems kind of like noting that a web server returns a response to the caller before logging it.
If you google search "how much power is used by online banking" there are multiple analyses answering this question for you along with consumption estimates for Bitcoin. One pro-bitcoin one from my first 4 results attempts to estimate all the power consumption for every bank server, branch office, and ATM 24/7 around the entire globe and produces an estimate of 140TWh/yr vs bitcoin's (at the time) 32.56 TWh/yr estimate. You can compare their average transaction values for yourself to decide how favorable this comparison actually is for bitcoin.

An article I read today provides a comparison point for realtime transaction processing, Fedwire, along with its transaction volumes and server count. It's interesting to compare that with Bitcoin's volumes. The article also makes claims about the energy consumption (suggesting FAANG's energy consumption is already dwarfed by Bitcoin) but I can't manually verify those myself: https://www.ofnumbers.com/2021/02/14/bitcoin-and-other-pow-c...

The above article estimates a best case total of 55.1 TWh/year for the major Proof of Work chains, and also provides estimates for various types of mining equipment, etc.
Sorry, didn't mean to imply that you should have worked harder or faster, mostly just wondered why not just release the presentation part first since that was already made in advance and the Q/A later once the editing was done.
Bitcoin's energy usage is proportional to its market value so you might say it always uses the smallest possible amount of energy (given the current valuation).

We have yet to see if alternative systems like proof-of-stake can gain the same trust and replace proof-of-work while actually consuming less energy in practice. I'm hopeful though.
Hah! That looks cool man, and exactly what I want to work on. Back then I only know C++ and didn't use any library, so I used SDL and directly blit some "buttons" onto the screen. Pretty ugly as I had to work out a simple GUI framework by myself, all those callback things.
As another data point, the app on my iPhone takes me to the correct article.
If you're concerned, there's also hundreds of hours of it being used on youtube by real users.
CPython implementation of the string stores metadata to save memory. The ord('1') simply jumps to the correct memory offset in the string structure. I would think it's easier to remember ord('0') as the offset of the string byte array in the structure than the magic number 48?
There's people scattered all over the country making 2x-3x rates that could have been earning 6x, but moving to San Fran or NYC was never a feasible option. The 6x companies will offer them 4x, settle on 4.5x, and both parties are happy. It will inevitably drive down the 6x pay, but drive up the 1x-3x pay. However, the companies will be the real winners though unless there's some type of coordination between all employees...Not only will they have massive payroll cost savings, buy they will reduce office rent expenses, electricity use, etc.
> My last 3 laptops had been Mac's (a White Macbook, then a Macbook Pro from 2010, then a Retina Macbook Pro from these days...) and while I feel 'satisfied' I also kind of noticed that performance is always worse, and somehow the morethe more I upgrade, the more I feel like a pain the ass when I use that computer.

Are you using SSD or normal HDD?
This isn't necessarily true. Like so many things, perception is reality. People oftentimes do things out of fear--in this case, fear that their old workflow isn't the same--rather than rational conclusion.
"Windows 8 wasn't all that bad"

That's funny, because ALL of the non-technical regular people that I know of hate windows 8. A lot of them downgraded to Windows 7.
I've said multiple times that I use OS X because it's the only unix with netflix.

Apparently that's changed. I haven't tried the latest ubuntu with chrome and netflix, but if it does indeed work I think I may try switching.
I'm not sure how related this is, but I used to get bad headaches from the ultrasonic sensors on my self-driving RC car project. I always wondered if others were affected, and how that impacted other ultrasonic-based projects.
I think the system upgrade experience in Windows 8 is much better than OS X is these days. That was my tipping point.

I run Win8 full time now (on a Macbook Pro), and virtualise linux with Virtual Box. It's very solid and you can 'do everything' as well as live in a terminal.
I, uh, rather think that you missed the point. "Rationality", when expressed in this kind of technicolor paint brush way, is a poorly-defined, fundamentally unscientific concept. Belief in it is itself irrational.

Basically: this is just self-help hippie nonsense to me. My irony detector is off the charts, and I was expecting to be more impressed.
> On Macs, OS X is practically guaranteed to work out of the box. Wifi, bluetooth, trackpad, screen brightness, power management, hardware graphics acceleration, resume from suspend/hibernate, etc Just Works™.

Interesting - my experience with respect to this is that Apple will "just replace it" if a user complains enough.

Both my MBPs (17" 2009, last 17" made (2012?)) had chronic sleep/resume issues, where they would wake up unprompted, either immediately after going to sleep, or after a while (in my bag, turning it into a furnace), or not resume at all when waking up.

The Genius Bar "replaced a daughterboard, which should fix it"[1], which naturally didn't.

In my quest for a solution, I tried everything and met hundreds of poor souls with this problem, of varying technical aptitude - some far exceeding mine.

Changing the sleep mode, examining logs/dmesg/provided no hints, or relief. I gave up and started shutting it down or hibernating.

I don't miss OS X.

Yosemite is turning out to be like Windows Vista. It's a shame because I have such good memories of the real Yosemite National Park.

Dang it, why did they have to use Yosemite as the name of this OS?
