If you want to go the extra mile... For blogs that are open source, as many GitHub Pages are, you could even submit a pull request to add the RSS feed! Or write up a blog post of how to add an RSS feed to Jekyll site and submit a ticket w/ the link to your post.
That's a great idea. I would definitely use a service like that.
Sysco?

(Only for the humor I have no idea what Sysco's reputation in food service is)
My main assertion was merely "This is a sense of decency that the surveillance companies didn't share".

It's okay to acknowledge this as a vulnerability of your personal paradigm but still hold yourself to it. Just don't act like it's the only permissible way to interpret the situation, when the present state of affairs has been created by the surveillance companies not following the same moral requirement - already "[making] decisions for [everyone] without [our] consent".

More generally, a sense of right and wrong cannot mean simply following low level axiomatic rules, but rather requires judging constructive behavior. I'd say an action that mainly undoes a wrong is a lot closer to being right than another wrong.
This is more SysAdmin related, but one power-curl function I use atleast 30 times a day is this alias I have in my .bash_aliases

This will output the HTTP status code for a given URL.

alias hstat="curl -o /dev/null --silent --head --write-out '%{http_code}\n'" $1

Example:

$ hstat google.com
301

I also use curl as an 'uptime monitor' by adding onto that code section. (a file with a list of URLs, and "if http status code !=200" then email me.)

There are variations on this all over the place but I really depend on it and I like it.

Previews in RSS isn't perfect, but I'll take it.

One of my favorite webcomics updated very sporadically and didn't provide a RSS feed for the longest time; it was difficult to keep up with updates. The current feed is just a link to the comic and is a significant improvement.

The author was resistant to RSS for the longest time because they thought they _had_ to include the comic in the feed and was worried about losing ad revenue.
There is basically one reason why I use a Windows machine and that is games. I know linux has seen a lot of movement in that area (tks Valve) but I've tried it, and it works great, but performance is better in Windows for my machine. So I bought this machine where I can game (it is not anything fancy) and I would really like to work on it as well.

I have a notebook with Ubuntu installed and if you would ask me I would rather work on the linux machine, but I'm trying to push the envelope with WSL2 to develop with RoR... Weird bugs and slow sometimes (better than WSL1 tho). Oh well...

> Function with 9 arguments

That's nothing, let me show you some of the ones in the VM...

> Mix of abstraction levels

What are you referring to here?

> Basically untestable.

Unit-testable, no. Integration-testable, absolutely; POSIX testsuites are not so hard to write. And this function is called (tens of) thousands of times per hour while you are using the OS, remember.

> Could use RAII.

It is already using RAII reference and lock objects, what improvement do you think could be had here? There are no exceptions in the kernel, so that's not a concern.

If this is your criticism of Haiku's kernel code ... go take a look at some of the equivalents in the BSDs or Linux, then. We are by far and away better than those by your metrics (especially as, you know, those are C and this is C++.)

But do these specific metrics matter? Probably not. "9 arguments" is not a mark against a function in all cases, neither is length or abstraction mixing. Those can and usually are bad, but kernels are a different ballgame altogether.
If your main concern is people scrapping your blog or only reading the RSS without visiting it directly, at least put the first paragraph in the feed. I prefer seeing the whole article, but at least having a preview let me decide if I want to keep reading, and it let me knows something new came out.

Those who played the classic computer game Buzz Aldrin's Race into Space (which was completely open-sourced a few years ago: see https://www.raceintospace.org/) will remember that one of the key decisions in that game, which was all about building a space program that could get you to the moon, was whether to use traditional capsules (Gemini/Apollo on the US side, Voskhod/Soyuz for the USSR) in the mid-to-late game, or to go with reusable lifting body-type vehicles instead. The American player could build the "XMS-2", a fictional vehicle derived from the X-20 Dyna-Soar (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_X-20_Dyna-Soar), and the Soviet player could build a similarly fictional vehicle based on the MiG-105 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikoyan-Gurevich_MiG-105).

It was a big decision gameplay-wise, as capsules were much cheaper to research and purchase, but the reusability of mini-shuttles meant you didn't have to buy a whole new crew vehicle for each shot. So if you could scrounge up the money to buy a few in the mid-game, you could free up big bucks in the late game that would otherwise have gone towards buying all those capsules.

Weird. I'm not a beekeeper, nor a biologist, but Seeley's one of the top authorities on both - he picked up Karl von Frisch's work and extended it further translating bee language/communications.

His accounts of site analyses across the country don't exactly agree with the claim of feral bees dying off. He does agree in a sense, but he's presented a lot of very compelling evidence that wild/feral bee colonies are evolving and adapting to survive Varroa mites through natural selection.

I pirate all the time even though I do try and buy the legal options first. When in a lot of cases. Kodi with a couple add-ons take care of the rest. I bought a physical copy of some book but the company drm servers are no longer maintained I'm out of luck. Pirated copies to the rescue. There is an entire generation that was raised to not give a shit about copyright.

I've probably committed five felonies today yet paid once because I'd prefer to do that.

So why bother paying any attention to copyright law? There are zero repercussions.

Well, all good points, except no one really cares about your data on the cloud. You might see relevant ads though, i.e. your particular docs and photos are just slightly above pink noise.

“Levandowski was paid a bonus of $120 million while at Google”

God forbid an engineer get paid what he’s actually worth.

If anything he should’ve been paid much more. The automobile industry is a multi trillion dollar industry he’d be be disrupting.

Honestly, Google may have been paying him to “die” like tech companies do sometimes as rationale for acquisition: to eliminate competition.

Maybe he picked up on it and decided to move on.

Google doesn’t own technology he invented.

RSS can be used for more than traditional blogs, too.

The CII Best Practices badge has a "projects" page that lists all projects working on or achieving a badge: https://bestpractices.coreinfrastructure.org/projects . You'll notice an RSS symbol; if you click on it, you'll be led to https://bestpractices.coreinfrastructure.org/feed (in your preferred language) that will show you projects listed in reverse-latest-edit order (so you can see who's made the latest changes to their badge info).

Once you start thinking of RSS as a way to tell people "what's new" in a simple common format, there are lots of interesting uses for it.
Driving for 10 minutes is generally more appealing to me than 5 minutes of walking carrying bags, but it depends on the situation. I bike a few minutes to a nearby McDondalds sometimes but then often drive that same distance.

I recommend starting with something smaller.

Here's something I put together some years ago - it's about 5,000 lines of code and supports a number of key Unix features. There's a PDF of lecture notes accompanying it.

http://adelaideos.sourceforge.net/

Once you've gone through this you'll be in a better position to tackle the Linux kernel and books on OS architecture. My personal favorite is "The Design of the UNIX Operating System" by Maurice J. Bach. It's an old book but explains things well, and I believe it was one of the references Linux Torvalds relied on when creating Linux.

Ah, I see. Perhaps not as bad as first thought, then!
I think other people in this thread are running services that do a similar thing.

My crisis of conscience was around storing the full text of the articles on my own server and then presenting them as a new feed on my domain, e.g. https://mydomain.com/feeds/eurogamer.xml

Everything in the feed is that gets generated is exactly the same as the original feed (canonical link to the actual article, publsh date, author etc) the only difference was the text in the body of each entry.
Friends do let friends buy Behringer gear, because friends don't act like gatekeeping elitist pricks to their friends.
Sorry, I do this (provide only truncated text) in my RSS feed because I couldn't figure out a way of keeping the special formatting my site is designed around.

Its a cop out that I still feel bad about. Maybe I will fix it sometime.

I think some ads are good. Specifically the kind that informs you of something new. Sometimes when I see an ad with a trailer for a new movie in theaters, I'm appreciative that I learned a movie that I wouldn't have otherwise known about.

Having struggled with RSS in the past, I will give a few reasons of why I ended up removing RSS from my blog:

1. RSS traffic trickled down to almost nothing. Hardly anyone uses RSS any more as a daily reader^1.

2. Spammers were using my RSS feed to wholesale copy the content from my blog. Identical copies of my blog went up in several different locations, each with their own copy of ads from the scammers. Some of these blogs ranked higher than mine for certain search terms. Google would eventually catch on and remove them, but it was like playing whack a mole.

3. We did not make any money from the RSS feed. Even if we did find a way to monetize it (injecting ads into the feed, for example), see #1.

As a techie, yes yes yes I would like to have an RSS feed. But from a business standpoint, it doesn't make any sense these days.

Pocket already does about 85% of what I want (5% missing features I do want, and the other 10% being removing features I don't want, like the Sponsored content showing up in my feed), so I'm mostly happy with it.

But as long as we're talking pie-in-the-sky:

- Grabs only content, none of the crap

- Should be able to grab images that are core content to the article

- Completely FLOSS, with option for self-hosting. Member pricing would basically pay for cloud hosting and support.

- Robust platform support. Win/Mac/Linux/iOS/Android support or support for major browser extensions. Client support for popular e-readers also a huge plus--Pocket integration was a major influence on my getting a Kobo instead of a Kindle

- Bi-directional article management within the client. I should be able to Archive/Favorite/Delete an article within the RIL client and have those changes pushed back to the server.

- An option to read aloud an article using the OS's native Text-to-Speech engine so that it does not require a wifi connection (again, existing quibble with Pocket)

- Privacy-focused. Don't share my lists with marketers, don't put "popular" content into my feed if I didn't ask for it. I don't care what other people are reading, much as I don't care what other people choose to Bookmark. My Reading List is for me and me alone.

- Ability to crawl older, multi-page articles and consolidate into a single view.

- Ability to cache the article itself so that it would still be readable if the content at the URL itself vanishes between the time I add it to RIL and the time I actually get around to reading it.

EDIT: RSS support would be cool, too.

It would spur smuggling, and anyone who's trying to manufacture things locally that contain computers would have to move their manufacturing offshore, maybe to Uruguay. For a while I worked at Satellogic; they manufacture their satellites in Uruguay because, during the currency-exchange controls a few years ago, it was impossible to reliably import the necessary components into Argentina. (Those controls are coming back, most likely, in December.)

Also, anyone who wants to do deep-learning research would have to go overseas, unless paying the inflated rates AWS charges was ⓐ feasible in practice (i.e., Argentine banks still allow you to pay Amazon with your credit cards, and ⓑ not so expensive it sinks your research project.

More broadly, what you're suggesting is called "import-substitution industrialization", and it was the mainstream economic policy throughout Latin America during most of the 20th century. By contrast, during that time, most Asian countries focused on "export-oriented industrialization". This is the major reason why countries like Japan, Korea, and Taiwan are roughly as rich as the US, while Latin America has become relatively poorer and poorer. I consider import-substitution industrialization a failed experiment, like Communism.

But it did give us Lua!

I wonder if you are actually using the nvidia driver or just installed it. You could trivially have installed the nvidia driver but actually be using nouveau. Running glxinfo in a terminal would probably be informative.

The complexity of setting this up would be a good point to address. Linux Mint for example has a tool to do this for you. This is logically a workaround for nvidia actually contributing an open source driver that doesn't suck.

There is a supposedly much better supported open source driver for new AMD hardware as well. Another thing the community is doing.

If the problem is with the closed source driver there isn't much the community can do. It's very hard to reverse engineer a complex device like a gpu. If the problem isn't games in general but that particular game there again isn't much the community can do.
This fasting caused a 37.4% reduction in caloric intake. It raises the question of whether it was the fasting itself or merely the overall caloric reduction that made the real difference.
Thanks for commenting, in spite of my rude assessment.

Things have gotten marginally better over the last couple of years since we started using it, but it’s still not a great experience. Every part feels a bit kludged together. Take email integration. Really you should be doing something like closeio which just reads and syncs emails. Instead you rely on a plugin to bcc on send (miss the boat and the whole email chain is gone forever). But I don’t want to use the plugin (for reasons I don’t recall, oh maybe because I had to remember to keep turning it off all the time when emailing domains outside what we wanted in the crm). But then there are the obtuse track vs log flags, and depending on what you do, you may or may not receive the responses later in hubspot so someone else maybe can’t deal with it while you’re off.

There’s a lot more candid feedback I could give, but the response from the support team so far is basically, “put it in the forum”. Which seems to be the place ideas go to die.
Get Going with WebAssembly (GopherCon 2019)
The most common reason for my computer fans to become audible is JavaScript on a webpage. That is insane, because in most cases it makes no difference to the content.

Mind you, this is on Chrome on a Macbook Pro; Safari is indeed better (kudos to the Webkit team). It’s a shame the amount of control Safari gives a user is laughable: content blockers can’t hold a candle to uBlock Origin and there’s no way to disable JavaScript and Cookies on a per-site basis.

You're comparing apples to oranges.

I know a lot of engineers at a lot of companies who look at porn on their work laptops (which isn't illegal). I don't know a single engineer who would take documents from their previous company to their new company (which is very illegal).
I've seen a lot of people say stuff like this, but it's kinda gross. If you want to criticize things someone has said about their diet and health practices, that's fine (and hopefully, you'll cite sources for why they're wrong), but if you're going to make it about how they look, and make your own diagnosis about their health, that's not really OK.

You don't know anything about the guy's health. He may actually be sick, wholly unrelated to his diet. He could be dealing with an eating disorder (which may be related to his diet, but millions of people have fasted regularly without having an eating disorder...there are lots of ways people cover for eating disorders). And, maybe he's in great health and your beliefs about what "healthy" looks like are wrong ("put some meat on your bones" is not great health advice for most people, but it's a common refrain).

I don't really know anything about what he's said about diet or fasting. But, I know that bringing his appearance and health into it are not shedding light on the subject, they're just conflating appearance with health and well-being in ways that aren't useful.
Could you use a full web engine to scrape the info which would also load the ads?
InterLisp allowed (car nil) and (cdr nil) to safely yield nil, thus making it safe to probe list structure to any depth. This spread into other dialects and is that way in Common Lisp

> In 1974, about a dozen persons attended a meeting at MIT between the MacLisp and Interlisp implementors, including Warren Teitelman, Alice Hartley, Jon L White, Jeff Golden, and Guy Steele. [ ... ] In the end only a trivial exchange of features resulted from “the great MacLisp/Interlisp summit”: MacLisp adopted from Interlisp the behavior (CAR NIL) → NIL and (CDR NIL) → NIL, and Interlisp adopted the concept of a read table.

[Evolution of Lisp, https://www.dreamsongs.com/Files/HOPL2-Uncut.pdf]

In the Common Lisp Object System, we can specialize any method to arguments of the null class, a type whose only element is nil. Thus for instance, if we have a generic function salary like this:

(salary employee)

then if employee is nil, this simply calls for the following primary method to exist:

(defmethod salary ((emp null))
...)

This can return whatever you want: just nil, or zero or whatever is appropriate.

If the method is not defined, then (salary nil) signals a condition.
Is that pure speculation or based on data? Most of what I read says the data says otherwise: https://nextcity.org/daily/entry/san-francisco-parking-space...
Of course. Would you not?
And yet I've never had a reliability problem with USPS-shipped packages, whereas I've had so many problems with UPS that it's a joke among my friends that someone at UPS has a personal grudge against me. Lost packages, dented packages, me being home all day long and the doorbell never rings but there's a post-it on the door saying they couldn't deliver because nobody was home.

In theory USPS takes longer, but for me personally it's about the same time and a lot less of me getting upset at people. If USPS says Friday, I'm getting it on Friday. If UPS says Friday I'm getting it on Monday evening.

I miss when Amazon used to let you chose the shipper. That's been forever ago.

Microsoft sued Google in civil court over a non-compete agreement, not theft. The settlement allowed Lee to keep his job, so other than five months of anxiety I'm not sure how he wasn't "fine". Levandowski is being charged with 33 counts in a criminal indictment. These cases are not even in the same ballpark.

I don't know who that is, and there are apparently too many notable people named "Evan Brown" for me to figure it out without more context.
