Because the default desktop setup sucks.

But not anymore.

Unity makes things gnome-do and docky obsolete.

And please don't compare it to hacker-centric window managers.
I am Indian. Which German programs can I apply to, to come over there to study for free. All that welfare is creating a generation of utter retards. Germany is likely the only EU country which has upside left due to great work ethics. Pretty much everyone else is living on borrowed money and is in decadence.

May be EU should lift everyone out of state dependence instead of sending Europa probe? No it shouldn't. Someone has to be extremely ignorant to not see disconnect between these challenges.
if an officer has probable cause to believe that property is not lawfully yours, because it's the proceeds of illegal activity, he can seize it.

It's more than that, based on my past reading of instances of abuse of this. If the officer believes that the property could in any way be related to a crime, it can be seized. That has nothing to do with whether or not it's lawfully yours. Pretty insane, and could cover basically anything.
Absolutely, the solution is better laws and regulations.
Is this actually a real video?
No, because "natural rights", like all rights, are a human abstraction and thus open to interpretation, political and religious bias and difference of opinion. They don't actually exist in Nature and so can't actually be objectively quantified. The Declaration of Independence was written by men who believed they had a God-given right to own other men as property after all.
There is no set percentage, but if the decision makers at Twitch don't represent society, there is nothing stopping a Twitch competitor from sprouting up that is more in line with society's morals.
Then surely you understand that Porteños and B.A. are not at all representative of the average Argentine person or town in the same way that New York or New Yorkers are not at all representative of the average American or American city.
This is actually a brilliant idea and Youtube almost supports it. Channels can have playlists that have any videos, not only their own. All that's missing is to be able to restrict an account to certain playlists.

The other part is how to incentivize the creation of the playlists.
What were the times when journalism was better?
Strange that the article doesn't mention Chesterton's Fence[1]:

> [T]he principle that reforms should not be made until the reasoning behind the existing state of affairs is understood.

If removing things is allowed, it would be just as valid to take the roof off of the structure entirely, or to demolish everything underneath it and just leave the slab on the ground.

Another way to look at it is that adding things has a known cost in this experiment, but presumably any cost of removing something is not mentioned. If adding three pillars costs 30 cents, and removing one pillar has non-zero, unknown cost, which one would you choose?

I hope unionizing against these tech giants becomes fashionable. I worked at Adobe as a contractor and one of the recruiters for the contractor had called me and told me not to discuss my pay because I was being paid very well for the job (I wasn't and in fact was underpaid but I took the job to build a resume). I immediately asked my coworkers what they made and told them what I was getting. I also asked the recruiter to send that in writing. I got a call the next day from his manager saying to ignore and disregard what he said.

While they squashed the issue immediately, I suspect this practice is common and bullying people about sharing their wages in this industry is normal.
That was a painful essay. No real point hammered through, jumping from one topic to another without clear logic, and again making it look like companies will be ruling the world in the future, while the surveillance capabilities of goverments far exceed what companies can hope to achieve because they cannot centralize all channels of information.
The goddam microservices video is an absolute masterpiece.
>A lot of the best musical rule breakers were classically trained and knew their shit.

Classical training is a different story. Musical theory is endlessly useful to know. But jazz has been stuck in a certain kind of sound for the last 40 years since those people who actually made it gave way to those who simply play it. And now there's just this idea of what jazz is and ought to be, rather than treating it as what is was originally; a complete break from the roots of the western classical tradition into a wholly new art form informed by the limitations of what they were leaving behind.

It's sort of a cargo cult situation, really. You have these incredible artifacts left behind that came about as a result of complex processes of intense effort and struggle, yet those who inherited them act as if by imitating the same thing, they will get the same results. It's completely missing the point.
Excellent question Bloak!

The proof is for a foundation that can formalize its own

provability. Consequently, ⊢⊢I’mUnprovable means that

⊢I’mUnprovable is provable in the foundation.
I agree that they might be missing the point, but I also feel that adding a one or two extra CSS lines is really needed to turn something that is very unpleasant to read (the biggest problem being the unlimited width) into something that is really basically perfect. Like, this one is actually pretty much perfect, while the original makes me want to manually add a max-width from the inspector.
I'm properly on board with getting rid of light grey on white but this is a little much. I don't even have that great a monitor and this is kinda burning my eyes out.

Take the background to a #111 and the text to a #ddd and you've hit my personal perfection
> And if whites are to bright then it's because my screen is wrongly setup for my eyes/usage. A perfect color calibrated screen is ironically often not a perfectly setup screen for normal usage.

There are very specific definitions for colors, and what they mean.

#000000 means 0.1 nits, #ffffff means 100 nits. That's standardized and specified.

The screen can't be wrong if it correctly matches the standard. If real-world content doesn't obey the standard, the content is wrong, not the standard.
I work in the public sector -- and I enjoy my work, and it has meaning... But it's not my purpose.

I don't think I could ever do a meaningless job. (That is to say, I don't think I could ever write for Hollywood Tabloids -- utterly devoid of meaning!)

But meaningful is different to me than my purpose. I could engineer the signage for a fast food restaurant and be decently content. But my purpose in life is not to improve a company's bottom line, or engineer signage. My purpose in life is found outside employment. Mainly in things I volunteer at, but also as a husband.
I don't think that was intended as a serious remark, because the compiler-checks part of Rust compilation is not that slow. Rust compiles are slow when generic monomorphization or macros generate a lot of code to be compiled, or when complex macro packages are used as a kind of (slow) compile-time computation. The former can probably be addressed by some version of non-MVP const-generics; we will likely be able to "forward" implementations of generic functions and traits to code that only has to be built once for each set of type-derived parameters.
I also have ADHD the problem is that you start too many things. And the old ones are not attractive as the new ones. Sure i will debug your issue that nobody else can do because i enjoy that, but you want me to change the field in that crud i will find a way to screw it because it's boring. I hate the ADHD thing, and hate that some think it's some sort of superpower. The thing i hate the most as a parent is the forgetting and not being able to enjoy the time with the kids because i get easily bored and there is allways some other ting on my mind.
> being told "we can't do that"

I've had similar experiences with other institutions. The explanation boiled down to KYC policies and some relationship to newer DHS Real ID regulations.

So, what used to be allowed, is no longer. This might be true everywhere.
I read that as Twitter, but lets ago ahead and do that too.
That's a big if. And as discussed recently on HN, it can't just be safer than average human drivers, it has to be safer than good human drivers. That is a pretty tall order.
I wonder if there's any version of that which is legal (and feasible?) for a civilian to build and use.
It was a joke, like "What's cracking?"
What a privileged and humorless viewpoint. Guess there's not much of a "something is better than nothing" vibe here. I still stand by my unformatted ascii dump. But then again maybe I'm not as traumatized from data formatting as others.
> The disposal team consisted of 25 men who were restricted to a maximum of 2 minutes worth of exposure

I'm trying to figure out how that works. One team moves the crane and the geiger counters near the device, the next team brings in the lead boxes, the next team attaches the device to the crane, the next team puts it in the box and closes the box, the next team checks that the box is working, and then someone else puts the boxes on a truck?
Python type system is improving. Another point in this ease of use vs type safety spectrum is python -> type safe language static compilation.

I don't know which one is the best. So I've been experimenting with several.

I think the implication was that, once mp3 is no longer a household format, there will be a certain type of person who feels a nostalgia for the "sound" of mp3s, maybe even advocating that it was "better" in some way than the sound of whatever comes next...

This is basically what's happened with vinyl records at this point, right? People have a nostalgia for their sound, even though by any scientific or technical measure a vinyl record represents music/sound less faithfully than, for example, lossless CD audio...
Your CPU can handle 39-bit physical memory addresses (up to 512 GB of physical memory), and 48-bit virtual addresses (256 TB). Your operating system maintains a mapping from virtual to physical addresses, usually arranging the map so that every process has a separate memory space. Pointers are all still 64 bits long though.
I think you're the one who needs to provide a citation, because I've read a lot of the literature on the FSF's website and not once does privacy come up.

Now, I can't exhaustively prove a negative, but I think I can easily demonstrate that the FSF has never meaningfully expressed an opinion on privacy. Go to https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/philosophy.html, open every single page it links to in the body of the text, and search for the word "privacy". It does not show up in the body text of any of those documents. It shows up once in a footnote that mentions a change that Samsung made had that "caused privacy concerns".

The closest they get to even mentioning the concept of privacy is when they talk about the right to modify software and use those modifications "privately", which clearly does not mean anything about user privacy.

If privacy were so big of a concern for the FSF, you'd think they'd talk about it in their official documentation on their philosophy, or put something about it in the ONE tool they have to have power over anyone: the GPL.
Hayek as a proponent of Basic Income, not Unversal Basic Income

Looks great!

I'm on Windows and I use https://getsharex.com/ which is open source too but only for Windows https://github.com/ShareX/ShareX

Will check Flameshot, if is good enough to match my experience with ShareX I will consider make the switch.

I prefer use tools that are available on Linux to increase the visibility of Linux! I believe that if we make more popular (by using and recommending) tools that are available in Windows/Mac _and_ Linux, more people will have no issues to switch to Linux (eg: VLC, Inkscape, Gimp, Krita, LibreOffice, Kdenlive).

I have Ubuntu as a secondary OS because sadly I'm hostage of Adobe CS :(

Will spread the word!

Now looking for the Windows installer on the download page https://flameshot.org/download/ to install it on my PC, I see that is not very handy, the download page links to the latest release page on GitHub who don't have the Windows installer yet https://github.com/flameshot-org/flameshot/releases/tag/v0.8...

The previous version have it! https://github.com/flameshot-org/flameshot/releases/tag/v0.8...

I think that an UX improvement for most users of the download page will be have the direct link to download the latest installer (.msi) instead of link to the latest release page on GitHub with all the binaries, witch can be confusing (besides that now is not even in the latest release). And put the link of latest release page on GitHub as a secondary link.
What sort of exercises do you do to help with this? I've been finding it very hard to work on shoulder strength, especially the scapula, without just impinging it more
What does this mean? Runtime is the only time that Python's existing type system has an effect.
The article does address both split keyboards and ortho-linear layouts. I disagree with both, personally.

Interestingly the Kinesis article you link supports the arguments I make in the article, but their solution is obviously a split keyboard because that's what they sell, rather than offering an alternative typing style. My typing style avoids all the risks they identify.
> I don't feel like "inequality" is a problem in and of itself.

That's because it doesn't effect you.

You don't have to face death because you can afford insulin or food or housing.
I've been tooling around with Haskell for a few months now, and since the beginning I've been impressed with the incredible amount of polish that goes into the official distribution.

Maybe my expectations of an 'academic', FP language were low, but the clean, navigable design of the site, and easy to use package manager, and respect for the idioms of the various platforms (DMGs and not tar.gz's for Mac OS) show a regard for aesthetic that that even the 'friendlier' languages like Ruby or Python should strive for.
When it is no longer necessary. Which to me means when music labels (or what every they will be at this point) no longer feel the need to cooperate and instead act as a retail/service business.
> Open source projects seem to succeed based more on the energy of their initial organizers

But whomever starts a Lisp language is going to have the usual Lisp suspects looking over his/her shoulder. That's going to dampen most open source organizers' energies, I guess.
|no idea which registrar I'd use

Concur. I moved to Sunnyvale from Cincinnati, OH. My salary in 2005 (prior to taking a pay cut when co-founding a startup) was $67k. My current salary is $120k. While the cost of living is higher, my net after all is said and done (savings, stock, retirement, etc) is significantly higher.
That Whispernet works because the cost can easily be built into the device, or the books — ebooks aren't large downloads and therefore it's easy to set up cheap deals with carriers. After all, Kindle users won't be data hogs or cause network congestion (I say this from the view of a carrier, not that network congestion is acceptable).

Music & videos however add up fast.
>bullshit video on there

Yeah, that would never fit in at... youtube.

In all seriousness though, I thought google video had shut down years ago. It must have just been a phase in its shutdown, but I could have sworn it was already gone.
I think part of it is Portland -- Anecdotal, but I know a large number of people in the area who are relatively good at dev and used to work for HP or another local company and are now unemployed or underemployed and have a house that's severely underwater.

A few Seattle companies I know of have hired portland telecommuters because they've had trouble finding good talent up here. I have no idea how much that is happening outside of my experience.
I discovered that Sallie Mae doesn't accept special characters.

And that iTunes now forces one capital letter. I dunno, I think if you've used a special character you should be forgiven for not using a uppercase letter
I was amazed to find Paypal has a shorter limit than eBay.
It's tough but if you made 100k consulting could you either a) do it again or b) tell (charge) others how to do it?
I'm fine with the former, you get what you pay for, the latter however, really makes me mad.

Seriously. Even though I know it's all mocked up, every time the video cut to the restaurant my pulse started to rise.
This probably only applies to litigation lawyers, most, if not all of the lawyers I've worked with have been extremely polite and correct. They've also all had an excellent grasp of manipulation techniques and human psychology, and would see right through this bluffing behaviour in a second. Maybe it's because my experience has primarily been with M&A, contract and tax lawyers. Or maybe it's differen in Europe.
Curse words very often come from that which is sacred/revered/taboo in a culture.
Crypto implementations have a history of vulnerabilities. Who's to say that anything that anyone finds is proof one way or the other. It's not like you're going to see:

Well, if there is a key logger on your machine then you are totally compromised anyhow b/c over time you will enter all those passwords at some point.
It's a not a good idea to speak to opposing counsel yourself. If you think the legal threat is baseless, send a brief polite email to that effect, and ignore everything afterwards. If you think they have a claim, talk to a lawyer. And have a plan for who to call if you get served.

This is the approach I've used on the Bedbug Registry for about three years. We get about two intimidating letters a month from some fairly large hotel chains.

Making legal threats directly to an attorney is about as good an idea as the lawyer threatening that he will hack your server. Resist the temptation to get in over your head.
Why is it that after uncovering regulatory capture, people think the answer is to hire someone else? Larry Summers isn't the problem... his position is.
Funnily enough, they didn't bother dealing with legal references to air travel before planes were invented. You will also notice that they made no references to space travel either, or computers.
When making Web UIs, I miss the ability to think of screen space in the simplest terms possible: as (a portion of) a Cartesian plane, with the Y axis rotated 180 degrees so that the Y coordinate increases downwards. None of those contrived CSS constructs seems to offer the same degree of simplicity.
Oh, man, I opened Pandora's box with this question. :)
I'm lucky to have boys of similar age, so they play each other whole day. On the other hand, they do need to eat, use toilet, peacekeeping from time to time, etc., so, it's a whole day duty. Luckily for me, I work for myself (a startup), so I can work anytime I want. For wife it's a bit different, she's 9-5 in normal circumstances, but with kids, it extends to the whole day.

It's not easy, but I love them.

Btw, my kids are 5 and 7 - to those of you with <4 years old kids, don't lose hope. As they grow and get more independent it gets easier. You'll have more time to get back to your side projects.

Look at this situation from the bright side - you are there for them now, when they need you the most, when their personalities are formed. Enjoy every moment, it will pass quicker than you think. Before you know it they'll be kicking you out of their room. And you'll be sad about it. ;)
makes perfect sense, if you happen to have just read the article :)
I did a similar calculation for the maximum population of a city where everything is reachable within 20 mins of train & walking. The result was ~500,000 people.

I would like to make a more detailed design and simulate it. The simulation could even include things like sunlight entering living spaces and workspaces and sunlight on walking paths during commutes, over the year. A new city could maintain such simulations as it builds and develops, and end up with much higher quality of life for all residents.
20 to 1 sounds fair - thanks!

Da comrade, we must discuss the US's transgressions before it would make sense to discuss Russia's.

How is this incitement to looting? The 'examining' in question is a highly critical interview which is pretty much interviewer Isaac Chotiner's thing. The piece is the opposite of what you are suggesting it is.

Yeah, “coup” is still a reach. No power was seized. Not even close. This isn’t 1973 Chile. You’re giving these unorganized white nationalist nobodies way more credit than they deserve. If it were a coordinated effort by Trump or the GOP instead of LARPers living out their conspiratorial fantasies, then sure.

> Party R comes along. Party R says, we really care about guns. We want to make sure everybody can buy a gun, and here's why guns are great. Guy B likes this because he thinks he might need a gun in case he runs into a Jewish person.

Way to reduce the right and need to own arms to be a crazy person's fantasy. It was recognized by the founders the are many legitimate reasons to keep and bear one.

> but he made his decision. Taxes were so important to him that he turned a blind eye to moral issues and decided to double-down when those issues escalated and "be loyal"

Very few issue are absent moral weight and taxes are not one of them.
I just don't see how that is tenable due to the way our society is structured. Also I thought there were already age restrictions in place for a lot of these services? Not that it is enforced.

Unless folks are willing to have some kind of real ID verification to access these services.

I think a $20 billion prize for a manned Mars landing could pay off handsomely for both the winning contestant and the government, particularly if the government received a license to the technology used to accomplish the prize.

$2 billion for a fully reusable TSTO lofting 5000 pounds to LEO would also be money well spent.
