If anyone from IndieWeb community is reading this thread:

Stop bikeshedding formats and random features (likes, bookmarks, etc) and focus 100% on getting Webmention and rel="in-reply-to" working smoothly and integrated across the blogosphere.

Build on what works, instead of rejecting the entire blogosphere because of some guy's pet project. Forget about bikeshedding microformats and micropub/microsub APIs.

IndieWeb talks a lot about "standards" and interoperability and all this crap but at the end of the day the focus is mostly "let's replace Atom with microformats to do the same things, and argue about how to encode likes and bookmarks." The NIH syndrome regarding replacing Atom/RSS with microformats is incredibly counter-productive.

Start with replies to blog articles, build consensus, build software support, make it a success. THEN move onto replicating Facebook. Webmentions/replies can be done today with Atom/RSS. Just think if all that time spent on microformats was spent building support for webmentions/replies in existing tech stacks!

Founders Turned a Vision into over 5M Pounds of Ocean Trash Removed
To be frank, this study likely did not debunk anything.

Even 30 years ago, psychologists had outlined the criteria by which the bystander effect does not occur. A well known criterion (seen in many comments on HN) is to direct your plea for help to a single individual amongst the bystanders ("You! Call 911!" as opposed to "Someone call 911!"). Another aspect that's been known for over 30 years is that if someone in the crowd feels (s)he is an outsider, that person is a lot more likely to intervene.

Did they account for these in the study? How will they determine if a particular person thought of himself as an outsider? If they did not account for these, then the article is attacking a strawman.
Ugh Shibboleth, the greatest SSO system if anyone, including the original developer who wrote it, could figure out how to configure it properly.

I've always wondered how it ended up catching on in seemingly exclusively academia.
I'm asking this here because I don't really know where else to do so: I'm trying to compile a binary from a js source that uses the standard modules (they are loaded by default if you run the interpreter) so the following works:

std.printf("%d\n", 1);
std.printf("%s\n", os.platform);

However it does not compile to a binary and doing something like:

import std from "std";
import os from "os";

std.printf("%d\n", 1);
std.printf("%s\n", os.platform);

compiles via `./qjsc -m -o default_modules examples/default_modules.js` however does not execute:

$ ./default_modules
SyntaxError: export 'default' in module 'std' is ambiguous

In addition, I hear that modern browsers support a ground-breaking functionality called "Bookmarks".
And if you do it accidentally, you also have a duty to report.

And if it's sensitive stuff (not classified, secret, top secret, or scif) you can still be forbidden to even provide the link other than to your approved security contact.

It's really better not to know if you have any sort of clearance.
Eh. Dragon still has good material on pipelining and local dataflow analysis frameworks. The version two stuff on bdds is the most poorly aged part, IMO.

They bumped the OpenGL version to 3.3 which is 9 years old. I don't know exactly what hardware you have but there's some that supports newer GL versions on Linux vs Windows, i.e the integrated GPU in Sandy Bridge hardware only goes up to 3.1 in the Windows driver but the Linux driver supports 3.3. AMD Linux drivers support 3.3 all the way back to HD2000 hardware from 2007.
Btw, using code blocks for anything makes it unreadable on anything that isn't a 4k ultra-widescreen display (I assume, because it's certainly unreadable on my 1440p screen). I'm certainly not going to scroll back and forth just to read every single line of that.
Apparently some later releases of SM64 turned on optimizations and have less lag than the earlier ones.
When every talk, study, etc. discussing it (e.g. https://greenelab.github.io/scihub-manuscript/) includes a statement like "Users of Sci-Hub do so at their own risk. This study is not an endorsement of using Sci-Hub.", I don't think it can be called pristine.

And from articles like https://scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2018/09/18/guest-post-th... there seems to be some connection between Sci-Hub and the cyber underworld, although perhaps it's just the cyber thieves sending Sci-Hub papers and Sci-Hub isn't an active participant.
I am on holiday in Norway right now and have been super impressed by the english fluency of most people I have spoken with. It goes far beyond basic conversational fluency.
Chromecast doesn't have its own UI or authentication, it just uses the authentication of the device the stream was started from (being able to delegate that is a requirement for chromecast support). So it solves the same issue but in a very different way. Its a pretty clever solution but requiring all interaction with your tv to happen through another computing device can get annoying.
Do you mean "create for AR/VR" or "create in AR/VR"?

Any 3D application is useful for the former so I'm not clear on what specifically you're referring to.

If you mean the latter then I'm aware of a "edit inside VR" add-on for Blender but unclear on what the AR connection might be.

Have all 'modes' been updated, how is it for non-linear [video] editing (NLE) now. I usually use KDEnlive but have used Blender in the past for this and it was pretty good but entirely unlike anything else in it's controls IIRC.
I get your point, most people won't be driving a Tesla in 60 years. But there certainly will be someone who maintains an original 2010s-era Tesla.

There are people who still own fully-functional Ford Model T's from ~1910. They are over 100 years old, and they still drive them through the Memorial Day Parade every year.

Tesla partnered with Panasonic to create that battery factory.

Supply management is a core competency for the big automakers. Do not confuse not as far along with their EV journey with incompetent at it. If things are not available in their OE bin they are good at creating the supply.

Auto manufactures are not building charging stations because that shouldn't be a core competency. Tesla being first may have been forced to build them, but as EV takes off others will get into the game. It is better for the big automakers if they have a universal charging connector and let many others worry about how to get a charging station elsewhere. It is a distraction from building cars to spend time building a charging system (one Tesla probably had to take on, but as EVs become more common others will step up to create them)
I remember this from Boy Scouts. We were taught to pick someone, point straight at them and say "YOU, call 911"
> These kinds of things are absolutely in the hands of the organizations who are authoring and publishing the documents, not the vendors like myself who provide the tools,

If you can detect “publishing smells” like this with a Google search without access to the tools, you also ought to be able to detect and raise warnings about them in tools; quite a lot of tooling exists in software development workflows to catch the programming equivalents of this kind of oversoght and prevent them from getting into deployed code. (And arguably even more similar, there are a wide array of tools designed to identify and protect against internal information being exfiltrated, intentionally or accidentally, via email, etc.)

So while responsibility for the results of what gets published is always the responsibility of the tool users and not the tool vendors, I don't think it's accurate to say that this is completely outside the hands of tool vendors. And, I'm pretty sure customers (especially in the enterprise space) would see support from publishing toolchains for preventing this as a competitive advantage.

>If you accept that running random binaries is a security risk, than running counterfeit hardware that runs arbitrary software is a greater risk!

Undoubtedly, what is IMHO missing is any proof that the counterfeit hardware (besides being likely of inferior quality) is actually running arbitrary software.
Ah, it works on Catalina. I don't use Safari.
Does it actually cost $100 to produce an IC, though? Like, the manufacture of the device itself is relatively cheap, especially in volume— all the cost is R&D, test harnesses, simulation, license fees, etc.
Yep. My first job had a lot of Excel. I hated it. Once I learned pandas, I rarely needed Excel again for my work.

Interesting. I've never thought to host my web sites on Tor. I don't have very many that are strictly "mine" but that'd be something interesting to do if only to understand a little more about Tor.
My father passed away around 11 years back and it wasn't til several years later that it really hit me that my mom was basically all alone for large portions of her day out on the a country property. I now call her and chat for about 20 minutes a day on my commute home. I know that it has made a huge difference in her life and I feel more connected to her than ever before. I highly recommend that others take some time to see if their loved ones are in a similar situation and if so, try and reach out on some sort of scheduled basis.

PUBGMobile Season 8 Released Date Confirmed
Agree but slight modification - goal should always be for the users to be able to do their main functional tasks in-application and maintain it as the system of record.

But there will always be a use for Excel as a tool for informal data-monkeying and analysis - exporting a table and doing some pivots to summarize or use a different view. Non-technical users will always expect this capability and flock back to it. Not everyone's a programmer or has the interest to be - you'll have to pry excel out of most accountant's cold, dead hands for example
I enjoyed this article. I have always been a learner. It's always interesting to look back over my life and think on subjects I spent countless hours learning, and then integrating into my regular thinking patterns.

The best part about learning for me is applying concepts from one subject across my brain to another subject. That's been a helpful skill in my career. I can't agree more that we should all be training our brains to learn on a regular basis.
> "Users of Sci-Hub do so at their own risk. This study is not an endorsement of using Sci-Hub.", I don't think it can be called pristine.

People being forced to cover their asses due to a broken copyright system does absolutely nothing to tarnish Sci-Hub's image.

> articles like [...]

Well, you'll have to excuse me if I don't take the allegations of a publishing industry mouthpiece like SSP seriously.
That probably has something to do with Apple's abysmal support for OpenGL. They have even deprecated it for their proprietary Metal API. From Blender's perspective supporting a proprietary API is not worth it.
Perhaps but it is easy to forget that sometimes they simply either don't understand or that English may not be their primary language.

I try to assume that such things are genuine questions unless facetiousness is obvious.

Makes for a more pleasant place that way.
I can only speak for myself, doing mostly web dev/maintenance for local businesses at this point in my life.

I started trying to freelance online, with little success. When I mentioned to a dentist that I was freelancing he asked me to fix his old website. A small store owned by a friend asked me to make a website. Later the dentist asked me if I had cards to give to a friend.

About 75% of my business since then has been word-of-mouth. The rest has been me contacting local businesses that don't have websites. Business cards and flyers are supper cheap.

That being said, after three years, I'm only now starting to feel comfortable. There were very long dry spells, in between short periods of intense business, and word-of-mouth takes a very, very long time to operate (hence me reaching out to businesses without websites). I had to depend on my wife financially for stretches. I've also had to learn design, which is a much different skill-set to programming and has been very difficult. The main reason I went down the freelance path is because in my last salaried job, my boss developed substance abuse issues and unpredictable behaviours, which lead me to having a burnout. It's been hard but it's gradually starting to pay off. For all the difficulties, it is much more rewarding than watching all the value I generate go to some guy with a business degree who got through college doing elementary algebra.

Anyway, that was a fun rant, hope it was helpful to someone.
Uh, no one in America in 1964 thought people didn’t care about each other. Everyone was in a traditional family in the high trust society in the 50s, and then in the 60s it immediately transitioned into everyone having sex with each other. No one in the 60s would have said Americans didn’t care about each other. No one. People say it now because it’s true. Where there used to be high trust and cohesion between similarly minded people of the same culture, there’s now just the static noise of multiculturalism and incompatible groups of people who hate each other. You’re actually a full blown retard if you don’t understand this by now, it’s been fleshed out in ridiculous detail within easily accessed sources for a long time. I don’t know why I’m bothering to respond to a smoothbrain, I can tell there’s no way you’ll ever grasp this.

The Signal-to-Noise ratio is quite low. There are actually quite a lot of false positives, including...

1. Declassified/Released documents.

Many historical documents are no longer classified, yet some had its original classification markings. The same goes for commercial documents. For example, the Trump-Russia dossier was a previously classified document of a private company.

2. Whistleblowing documents.

These documents were released by whistleblowers, thus no longer private and classified. You can find many NSA documents leaked by Edward Snowden hosted on Amazon AWS owned by news websites.

3. Boilerplate classification.

Many commercial documents have boilerplate classification, regardless of whether they are truly sensitive or not. It's very common to find technical documents and datasheets with "Confidential" markings, which should have been removed long ago, probably related to (1).

In my experience, these documents make up 85% of the search result, only less than 15% of the documents in the search result are truly security breaches and confidential.

Quite the contrary. Pirates can spoof their identities with vpns and stolen credit cards, and won't care if a piece of IP gets tagged with their fake ID. But paying customers will have their personalized codes publicized every time they play a song at a party, use a snippet for a ringtone or put a bit of background music in a video clip.
Classic Kinect sensors are used extensively for gesture detection in the niche world of digital interactive exhibitions. You see them a lot in things like science museums or popup events or digital art gallery kinda places.

I used to do that with cheat sheets; I’d put so much effort into minimizing and formatting the content to stuff everything into the one-page limit, that by the time I took the test I had the whole thing memorized, and make no use of it during the exam
"I guess throw some genetic engineering in there and it should work."

If you are a programmer, you should have felt a pang of sympathy for the biologist who is in the background screaming "that's not how it works".
The hardest thing for me in blender so far has been uv coords. Sometimes I seem to be editing them, but they don't change, sometimes the ui for it seems to be gone. Sometimes they don't seem to apply. Sometimes the material seems to get lost.

It's been an incredible festival of mis-design, so far.

So, I hope that has improved.
Well despite your anecdote, the actual numbers disagree with you. A few geeks staying off Facebook is about as relevant as the “I don’t own a TV” crowd.
I invite everyone to check out julia. The language is pleasant and gets out of the way. The interop is nuts. To call say numpy fft, you just do

using PyCall

np = pyimport("numpy")

np.fft.fft(rand(ComplexF64, 10))

Thats it. You call it with a julia native array, the result is in a julia native array as well.

Same with cpp

Or matlab

It's legit magic
Increasing the likelihood of someone doing exactly what you are asking them to is an overt rather than an ulterior motive of accompanying nonverbal communication. (That said, people do have different sensitivities to touch and this can backfire, but in an emergency situation maximizing the expected results of the request to call aid is going to be the highly favored course of action.)

> This part is not true -- your data is encrypted with a randomly generated key that is kept locally. You could freely post the data they have all over the internet and it would be fine.

Do we know this is true? I assume it is, but I haven't checked the source or verified that I can encrypt/decrypt my data with my key, or that there isn't a master key that 1password has that can access it.
> ok yeah the Bolt was quite good but they didn't bother launching it in my country (uk) so its not on my radar, and they didn't bother trying to sell any

That's not really fair. You can't buy a Renault Zoe in my country (US), even though it is by most accounts a great electric car. I don't get to ignore their entire lineup, just because they don't happen to sell them here -- the world is bigger than any one particular country.

The Bolt is quite good, it's highly competitive against modern EVs, and the only reason it's sold "at loss" is because they sell out instantly, and can't make more of them fast enough to fulfill all demand -- a problem they are actively trying to fix https://electrek.co/2018/07/03/gm-increasing-chevy-bolt-ev-p...

To be fair in Javascript 0.1 + 0.2 === 0.3 also is false :). Not saying that Javascript is a great programming language.

Top state mover: Kansas rebounds from tax-cutting disaster
Sure, could, may, it is possible, it is easy, etc., but nothing that proves specifically that the specific counterfeit NIC is actually a risk.

As the article says, a compromised NIC is a security risk, but no proof of that NIC being compromised (nor that it is actually easier to compromise it).

And I would expect that an hostile government would have their own counterfeit NIC's:

1) better copied/marked/silkscreened

2) gave iPXE working on them exactly like the originals

i.e. not easily recognizable.

Even more specifically, I seemingly quickly found on Alibaba a "legitimate" NIC (in the sense that has no fake Intel marks) that looks very like the given specimen.

So the counterfeiters can buy those and put the fake Intel markings on them, reselling them for double or triple the cost, why would they change anything else?
Scientists are squares but they also have a brain. That's why they are usually not conservatives. Conservatives are not a party, it's a herd of paranoid people who tune into Fox News every night to be told what to be afraid of next, but it's definitely not engineers or scientists.
