Markdown is thirteen years old. This is older than HTML5, which introduced '<article>', '<section>', '<header>', '<footer>', '<figure>', and '<aside>'; and it's older than lots of modern CSS features. I've got archives in a variety of markup languages going back several decades; I've found old Markup easier to work with than old HTML or SGML. YMMV, though.

If your documents are available on the open web, you can visit them on the Wayback Machine to make sure they're cached as HTML. This is in some ways more reliable, and some ways less, than trying to keep track of your own HTML transcodes over decades. It's generally a more reliable way of making sure they're available after you disappear.
After more than a year at a small company the lead developer decided to take some vacation. He revealed to me that at one point an important customer requested a daily summary feature for their account. I was horrified to find out that since there were some tricky bits he didn't actually implement the feature. Instead he signed on every night right at 9pm and hyped up the summary. I refused to take over and helped implement the actual automatic summary feature.
A year ago or so I switched to Void Linux from Debian and my conclusion so far is that Void is a near perfect Linux distribution. Stable, simple and systemd free. The package manager is simply a pleasure to use.

My only critique is that most packages will install everything but the kitchen sink, so even if I only need "Writer" I have to install every single component of LibreOffice and this makes the system a little bloated.
I disagree. Facebook is just less clever about being evil. Google instead looms in every corner that remains too complicated for most people to understand and quietly harvests data.

And the article really does a piss-poor job at trying to pursue its question. Heck, most of it is directly quoting the opinion of a Google engineer.

The article you linked looks to be about how they banned someone who said that a shooting last month was a 'false flag' and the victims were paid actors... This is not the time this horrible false narrative has been applied to a shooting, alex jones promoted an identical story last year.

These things are always actually about the alt-right getting kicked out of a service, they say the service is now dead and doesn't care about "free speech" (argument doesn't hold on a private platform), they make their own competitor and it's filled entirely with hate speech (voat, gab, hatreon). the reason only horrible people go to those competing sites is because everyone else knows the positions are nonsense.

> You are right, both sides are to blame, but this don’t make any of the them better.

He wasn't saying this, he was calling out someone who, in a very dishonest manner, attributed a commonly perceived as bad trait to only one third party of his choosing. This, of course, while ignoring the fact that those he was trying to defend did the same and so rendered his argument useless and turned his deliberately included emotional cues into something short of deception.
Furthermore, it is possible to run ads without collecting creepy amounts of data on everybody.

Ads themselves are not so problematic. But the idea that companies have to collect amounts of data that make the Stasi look like a bunch of privacy activists is very much problematic.

DNS over HTTPS is great for the average Joe/Jane,
but if you're technical and care about dns leaks ...
I'd suggests a DNS over TLS (unbound) + filter setup.

This way your dns traffic is still encrypted,
and you retain the capability to block/proxy.
Not yet! I'm still on the hunt, but now I am searching for books. I suspect it will require checking out a few tomes from library to find what I'm looking for.
I started using GAS at my day job to make a lot of my work easier. Thought it was fun and answered a few questions on /r/GoogleAppsScript/.

Got a PM from a guy in my city who saw my posts. He asked if I could help on a project he had. He's ended up giving me steady work for the past couple of years. The money's nice but it's a really good project and I'm more proud that it helps him run his business and that it makes life a lot easier for hundreds of people every day.

Did a few other small things for other people but all through referral from friends. I haven't really ever actively looked for work. Between day job, hobbies, etc. I don't want to take on a lot.
I installed 65 cash registers all over Ireland. Each one had only an RS232 serial port. I had to read and aggregate their daily reads between 5am and 10am (only time these outlets were not running).

It was not possible to read this particular cash register when it was in operation mode OR if it was in OFF mode. Also we did not have access to GSM sims and there was no WIFI at stores.

SO:

We installed 56K modems and plugged them into the regular PSTN lines.

BUT:

That would interfere with customers calling to order out.

SO:

We plugged them into analog plug timers and only had the modems switch on between 5AM and 10Am.

AND:

The store owners kept switching Off the tills. So we had to disable the off position for all the tills.

The backend was a VB6 app running a 56K modem that read each till in turn and then processed all the results.

Ran for 11 years with not much bother.

Question - is there any reason your project can only be used on x86_64? I can't readily find documentation about godarch that suggests it even requires 64bit hardware.
I enjoy this vein of thought. It would feel more satisfying if escalation in difficulty (e.g. "Deity" level) added mechanical complexity and trade offs rather than just giving opponents artificial advantages.

- Tile focus can damage the output of surrounding tiles

- Mines might temporarily/permanently reduce nearby food production or appeal

- Longterm tile focus can outright destroy the resource

- Overfishing, Strip mining, Soil depletion

- Bring back or re-emphasize some of the old mechanics

- Population explosions also increase civil unrest

- Corruption quickly eats away economic output

- Opponent choices can cause cumulative/permanent damage to your cities if they are nearby, downstream, or downwind.
Neocities still has a number of sites like this and a lot of helpful tooling as well as IPFS support.
It's not really random punishment, it's challenges. eg, if you use certain dangerous technologies extensively (eg, strong AI, subspace drives) then a strong late-game enemy may appear at an unpredictable time (eg, rampaging AI bent on killing all races, rampaging fleets from another dimension).

I think this actually works well for Stellaris, because of the vassalization dynamics. In most 4X games, if you get defeated then you're dead and may as well quit. In Stellaris you can get defeated, become a vassal of another nation, and later break out to defeat your former masters. Having a powerful late-game enemy appear makes that sort of shakeup much more likely, as the smaller/vassalized empires may be able to pick off systems from the more powerful, but weakened or distracted, empires.
Isn't switchdev supposed to provide a way to make an interface to in-silicon forwarding engines?
> One is that the game Civilization advances a supposedly dangerous narrative about the myth of progress

Agreed, the author is not only making the point that it's a dynamic of modern games (to our detriment) but a reflection of a popular 'myth' held within our post-industrial revolution societies.

>> We live in a brief historical blip where abundant resources and a few centuries of astounding progress have allowed many to believe that the good times will roll forever.

Which is strange worldview considering "The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire" is one of the most popular and well known books in history, and a widely debated topic in academia. Always with undertones comparing to the unique growth of the modern western society.

There has always been plenty of anxiety about growth throughout our recent history...
Wholly agree. Your whole life is reflected as in a mirror in the 'metadata' logs collected by ISPs. VPNs are essential.

Interesting,I can't find the link where I seen a benchmmark where KDE used less RAM then XFCE and Gnome3 ,it may differ for different people since Gnome is leaking memory for some people but I also seen reports of plasma leaking(it seems to be more rare)

I am running an older version of KDE and my plasma uses less then 230MB in total(including shared memory)where only one instance of Chrome uses 450Mb and Xorg uses more then plasma for me (it may differ for other versions and configurations)
Lol, reminds me of my first lucid dreaming experience after a long time of sowing the seeds. The moment I recognized I was dreaming ("I" "was" in my living room) I was very excited and thought "Great, it worked! That means I could try out flying!". So I took off - and bumped my head on the ceiling (1). Woke me right up... :-/

Isn't the advantage of running hardware drivers in userspace to limit the attack surface of a driver being exploited?
Is there any sign of an explanation as to why Liberapay was banned?
Cited in the spirit of good humor, but not irrelevant: https://xkcd.com/927/
> I think even if the driver were to be implemented in kernelspace, it would still probably not expose any of it's physical interfaces to userspace as plain ethernet devices, maybe apart from virtual/mgmt ones to run SSH on, and perhaps one so that the kernel can handle packets that the router doesn't have flows programmed for (like in OpenFlow).

That's basically how switch development works in a nutshell, look at Broadcom's OpenNSL.
The crawl is never done. It's constantly crawling. And you're right, it's just a queue of websites that's been found, and when a crawling machine has an available slot, it crawls the next site (obviously that's simplified).

Certain pages get crawled more often than others. As a website owner, you can tell Google how often your content changes, which they will use as a clue for how often to recrawl your site.

If you're really big (like for example Reddit), you actually lose that control in Google dashboard -- they fully control the crawl rate. From experience, I can tell you that they are crawling large sites, like Reddit, continuously. Even 7 years ago, when I last worked there, they were crawling Reddit so much that we had to set up a separate server infrastructure just to respond to Google's requests, because their access patterns were so different from every other user.
And the great thing is that this technique helps even falling asleep in such situations for me. Its like imitating breathing, like you would be fully asleep and the real sleep follows.

You should be aware that this allows me to ignore and procrastinating on pressing issues which I should face head-on. But practicing meditation in the mornings helps with that.
>the thing everyone thought they wanted

I’m a really firm believer in this. The Henry Ford quote is the most succinct way to describe it I’ve ever seen, but the topic of “miswanting” is dear to me.

Yes, the fact that customers are basically paid to ride even at this late stage means that the question of survival isn't really about individual firms so much as about the category altogether. When this was the case for satellite radio, Sirius and XM merged, which was a good thing even though it meant prices would rise.

> We pass signals in our brain, they can cross from neuron to neuron in about 10ms

Could you clarify this point for a non-biologist? I understand the neuron-to-neuron transmission is not going to happen at the full electrical conductivity rate (something like 100 m/s) but this seems so much slower as to be hard to understand as a lay person.
Nope -- I remap Caps Lock to control, and if I'm not careful I can wind up logged in with it stuck in caps mode, and no way to get lowercase characters without locking the screen, turning off all-caps mode, and logging in again. Luckily, this is hard to do :-)
I really like the approach taken by Factorio, which is that you play as a villain. A genocidal, colonialist, polluting, industrious, and perhaps unconscious villain. The game doesn't state this, but I believe most players basically agree it's the case.
Or, more likely: a discount for installing it.
China still also has Dida Pinche.

But I agree, before Uber left the Chinese market, there was more pressure to be customer friendly. And the regular promos (with ridiculous amounts of free rides) where also nice from a customer perspective.

Glass/gradients was a baaaad trend in visual styles. Very plastic, cheap looking.

Interesting question (tough it is completely irrelevant to the case).

As far as I know it is an “old” name not a “refreshed” one.

According to [1] it was adopted as a first name in the Middle Ages, specifying the time a boy was born, and then became a family name (via A son of B).

If you're into programming in C, and like simplicity, you might find more likeminded people there, similar to OpenBSD. Nix is more popular among functional programmers.
You wabbled about click bait and then took issue with how dominance is achieved, meanwhile literally every other sentence in the article is about perpetual growth, how perpetual growth a dangerous myth, how other games deal with it or how it's bad game design.

You didn't address the myth of progress at all, which regardless of it's merits from a grand historical point of view certainly doesn't apply to individual nations which rise and fall all the time. You certainly didn't present any arguments against the idea that unthinking growth sometimes actually has consequences which Civilization games have actively been removing.

All you said economic power and resource accumulation probably leads to dominance. But it's not dominance the article takes issue with, it's that dominance is represented only by growth which is why one sentence after your quote: "Only growth matters"

Nothing has changed with Google (Bing and Duckduckgo are the same too more or less). 10 years ago it still did essentially the same thing, it's up to you to use the more advanced features to filter the results.

Reading further down the thread, it seems they were suspended for violation of Medium's policy on cryptocurrencies... despite the fact that they have never written about cryptocurrencies.
Sounds ridiculous until you realise they probably weren't given the proper time to ever fix it. What's better at that point? Restart it until it doesn't crash at a significant performance penalty, or just leave it broken?
I agree, but that’s asking for informed customers which is kind of a joke.

Devils advocate, even us tech people don’t 100% understand the scope and reach of Facebook, what they are doing is unprecedented. It’s not like there could be really informed typical users.
"Upon opening the code I discovered the entire program was a carefully constructed slide show with hundreds of jpgs in a jQuery carousel and some magic click areas coded in to jump the user between slides."

Based on my narrow understanding of "standard issue practices" in car dashboard UI:s workflows, this was a common pattern at least at one major German automobile company. Static views and transition rules between them.

I was a bit involved in dashboard software a decade ago and was really surprised to learn this.

Every time I see a Facebook, privacy or a social network topic on HN and then read about alternatives such as tent.io, mastodon and others I ask myself why the open source world is so bent on reproducing it. Half of those topics dwell on privacy issues (might be fixable), half deals with the effects on the mind and on society. That won't be solved by the open-source software stack.
I suppose I can ask all my contacts to remove my details from their address books on their phones. Do not email me from gmail, Tag me should they ever take pictures of me. But that is all besides the point. We _should_ not have to jump through hoops to keep them from spying on me. Besides, _most_ people do not even know how clear the browser cache, let alone running scripts or modify their host files with every changing DNS entries.

I'm a big fan of Ghost and have just set it up for a friend on free tier AWS for his travel blog.

DO droplets have gotten better/bigger lately, and with the one-click install it's a cinch. That said, if anyone's interested, I wrote a post on getting it running on a small VM which I'm currently rewriting for AWS free tier: https://www.danwalker.com/running-ghost-on-a-5-digital-ocean...
The base docker images (https://github.com/godarch/distributions) only supports x86_64. Docker images have support for having multiple embedded rootfs tarballs for multiple platforms, but it gets complicated. Maybe in the future.

Also, you have to build your recipes on the same target arch that you are going to deploy to. Irrelevant to your question, but something to note.

If you're trying to make a point it would be better to state it directly. What's your point?
The “threat model” approach from security is useful here too. (Or Business Continuity / Disaster Recovery, if you're familiar with that domain, or want to learn it.)

What are the threats to your content availability — hosting provider censors you, hosting provider dies, your cloud servers die, your on-premise servers die or their storage is corrupted, your workstation dies or its storage is corrupted, you miss a bill, you lose your ability to pay bills at all?

How likely are these? What happens? How much do you care? How could you recover and re-publish your data? How quickly do you need to recover, if at all? How much (time, money) is it worth investing now, to reduce the risk of future data loss or the duration of an outage?
I asked a similar question in my last round of interviews: "if you could wave a magic wand and change one thing, what would it be?". I thought this was a good way of getting an insight into what the team did, and how the people there thought about it.

The boss of the team i eventually joined said something like "i'd like to be able to make all of our performance-critical programs fast enough without spending weeks tuning each one".

Having worked there for a year, i can tell you that this is nowhere close to being a significant problem for the team.

So yeah, ask, but don't take the answers at face value. People don't know what the real problems are.
> (but paying for services with money is what we should want).

A company I worked for in the early 2000's produced a reality tv series which was shot on an island about 1.5km out from the city shore. It needed a decent (but rather temporary) Internet connection and our company headquarters happened to be near by, so my colleagues set up a directional WiFi antenna pointed from the building's rooftop to the island. The total distance of the line-of-sight WiFi connection was about 2.5km and apparently it worked fine when the weather was okay.
For dynamic content it may make sense to offload computation to the client (although in the linked article the opposite was found to hold), but it really irks me when otherwise static pages are rendered again and again on the device of every visitor. Such a waste.
