Can you tell us a little about the tech stack? Also, I noticed the “beta” label. 50k ARR as a beta, why are you selling?
I don't understand why so many people think they're "correcting" me.

First of all, it's external, not internal. There's no such thing as gifv format. It's just <video> with webm and mp4 but silent. That's the whole point. It's the whole reason why I commented and why they felt the need to create "gifv" which doesn't actually exist, lol.
I don’t think you can express IMO problems in a simple subset of first-order logic.
Of course they care about those battles. Not only could they impact their renewal and/or trigger large penalties, but they can (and often do with large contracts) percolate up to Congressional oversight committees. Unless you have experienced intensity of political battles within the IC, it is impossible to understand their stakes (in terms of both money and reputation) for $100 million+ programs of record.
> We are already below 2c/kWh for solar power in some areas

Yes, the power is very cheap exactly when nobody needs it.

> Let’s assume 50% over production that’s 4c/kWh, backed up by 60h worth of batteries and transmission and your still cheaper than Nuclear while covering base load and peaking power needs.

Can I see your calculations? Last time I did the math,
building enough batteries to store 48 hours worth of US energy use was simply not viable.

> A programming font with cursive italics and ligatures is the worst idea in the world. This is absolutely horrible. BTW, I am really angry.

I'm not angry, but I'm pretty sure it's objectively a bad idea. Provably, it's more difficult to read cursive fonts than, say, sans-serif monospace fonts.

Not to mention that the argument that "people like different things" is just not very good. It's simply a bad design choice. Cool project, and the monospace as well as ligatures are awesome, but the cursive italics are most definitely a bust. For context, I've used Fira Code[1] for the past few years and I'm quite happy with it. Author's claim that there aren't any free clean programming fonts is also a bit bizarre; we see free fonts released all the time.

Adding to pbhjpbhj's reply:
The name "patent" goes back to letters patent which, among other things, was the practice of monarchs granting monopolies to favored cronies. This resulted in the Statue of Monopolies in England 1624 that restricted the monarch to grant monopolies to inventors only. Going forward this would form the basis for the modern patent system in the United States.
Saying that the patent system is primarily about disclosing inventions is a bait because it most often does not matter. How important is it that William C. Hooker who invented the spring mouse trap (patent US528671A) had to publish the invention?
If you want to sell your invention you almost always automatically reveal the secret.

You use your car for how many hours a day 4-6 hours max. The rest of the time it is parked at work or home just put it on the charger when it is parked. We are used to ice cars so think about filling up once the tank is almost empty and can't get fuel everywhere it is not so with electric cars. You should not be visiting a charger unless going on a long trip so in actual fact 5 min spent at the gas station filling up is more time than you will spend filling up an electric car.
The timing is also interesting, as Google has recently updated their search engine results to be more "context aware", which may result in sites like that dropping in the rankings since their subject matter is actually a bit different than what people searching for "polygraph" might expect.
We sell to a very narrow segment. I've got Google alerts for loads of phrases and trade show names. We try to attend as many shows as we can.

I read the patents that teammates filed. The lawyers were supposed to talk to the engineer to get the idea before filing, but I got the impression that process didn't always work, and they wrote something nonsensical.
When my Muslim grandfather was growing up in the 1930s in Gulbarga, he used to make a game of touching the water pot of his caste Hindu neighbors just to see them curse him out and have to re ritually purify it. Some of us I guess have to remind people that there isn’t a monopoly on migration.

Pretty interesting analysis in here. Kudos to Akamai for sharing content to support this type of work. Would be nice to tokenize the same source data (just for privacy reasons) and share it as a public dataset.

Would love to see the analysis itself move into actor modeling to look for ways to correlate and attribute scan activity. Would also be interesting to monitor the effectiveness of various blacklists against the empirically observed scanning/malicious activity.
Slavery has always existed and does to this day. We are all slaves to the banks who create currency out of thin air and loan it to others. The irony of calling the US a free country with the number of incarcerated is obvious.

The fact remains property is required to exercise any right. I wish the US would go back to only landowners being able to vote. Would realign society IMO
Wait for Apple to push an update or prepare for unexpected wonkiness if you touch Apple-provided binaries.
There was the Reinhart-Rogoff error, which claimed economic growth declines (0.1%) when a nation's debt passes 90% of GDP. For years this was used to set economic policy, especially austerity measures, in western governments. When someone (a grad student IIRC) actually bothered to check the Excel formulas, an error was found and the actual number should have been a 2.2% increase instead of a 0.1% decrease.

That the error occurred isn't amazing but it is mind blowing that so much government fiscal policy was set based in part on this one spreadsheet that no one bothered to double check. Blame extends both to those who used the model to justify the policies and to those who opposed the policy but never checked the assumptions it was based upon.

It happens anyway. Humans are more flexible and adjusting than software I guess.
For example: where I am from, people use Hindi language to communicate but write Hindi using Latin alphabets rather than native Hindi alphabets, especially when typing on mobile phones. This is a result of Hindi letters being inherently complex in writing and lack of proper software ecosystem available (keyboard autocomplete, swiping etc)
That's a non-trivial amount of hard work going down the drain right there.

I'm not saying it was the right thing to do, but XUL and the component architecture were major reasons Mozilla took forever to be released, and then forever again to become usable.

And then a major reason why Firefox extensions became a thing long before using web tech was an option.

I tried to find uses for it back in the days, read a book and played around with it. What killed it for me was hooking into C meant dealing with Mozilla's internals a lot more than I would have preferred. These days serverless is common, but back then it was practically unheard of.

I did use Songbird [0] for a while, but it was always slow and buggy for me. And it never really went anywhere, not for a lack of trying from the looks of it.

ActiveX, Corba, Bonobo; they always seem to get so complex and bloated that no one wants anything to do with them when there are other options.

In my experience it usually is some sort of stupid config error from which I glean no deeper understanding. I'd much rather rely on magic than go around chasing bugs that I might not ever be able to convince the owner of a repository to fix, assuming the thing is even open source to begin with.
And if something goes wrong and nuclear waste is scattered through the atmosphere? I think we'll get to a point where we can do it safely, but there's always a chance. Maybe if costs are low, generating energy in space and shipping it back (either as batteries or a literal wire) would be better.

> how can I really know how others see me?

I am a middle aged guy in NZ with a fairly broad social range, that includes a few MTF transsexuals§ by association.

Within their social circles and far wider than that, everyone is aware that they are a transsexual, and I perceive that they often get lumped into a third category (that isn't male or female).

Strangers will be completely natural towards a non-obvious transsexual (where acquantances might not), but then a stranger that becomes a friend will struggle later when they find out they have been "deceived" (which subjectively can't be argued with?). Surely that must cause a lot of friction.

Also the acronym LGBT defines "different from X" where I don't know a good word for X either...

Hopefully you have a good bunch of friends and family that don't judge you or stereotype you.

As far as the study went, they would have to find a subgroup that worked as female (or v.v.) without anyone at work knowing or finding out (remaining cryptic at all times). Even then, there is a sampling bias for only those people that act on their feelings and have major surgery, and presumably a major emotional disruption to life for most of those.

> a pretty sharp divide in how more passable transwomen are treated vs. less passable transwomen

Is the divide wider than that between a "pretty" woman and an "ugly" one (sorry again, awful word choice, but I don't know how to rewrite that so the meaning stays clear).

§ sorry if transsexuals is an offensive term, I'm using what my peer group would use, and I have no idea how to safely use the words you use.
I don't know, that's why I'm asking the question.

I've seen enough security bugs that I don't want to trust the gut feelings of a non-expert, such as myself. One example I can think of is another password manager that used random numbers incorrectly putting a bias in the random passwords it was generating.
I truly despair for the world. The "advice" offered is just so devoid of content.

What if some things can't be learned, packaged into a Powerpoint, and then taught and instantly absorbed?

It is like the economist who spends his whole life ensconced in his little office telling investors how to invest, or policy makers how to manage an economy...despite having no actual experience of those things himself.

I don't know how we got to this point.

If you're interested in these kinds of features but aren't up to learning Haskell, we've been writing a DSL for type-safe array programming in a language called Kotlin.

A co-author of the study recommends establishing regular bedtime routines.

I wager the lack of a regular routine is the source of the problem. The school I went to had split shifts. I was on the early shift, and had to be up at 5AM. It wasn't a big deal because I had to be in bed by 9PM or it was my ass.

Perhaps kids would get more sleep if their parents had rules and enforced them.
Anyone have an estimate of how much revenue increase the patent office received as a result of allowing software patents while knowing nothing at all, whatsoever about software?

How many of the things have been granted? How many filed? How much are the filing fees? How much are typical lawyering fees for it.

There are many among us who feel it is the actions of pure parasites on genuine tech innovation in software and systems so it's a question of how much was gouged by that decision (intentionally or otherwise).

The other one that could be interesting to know is the descriptive stats on salaries for patent attourneys specialising in software vs people being paid to program software.
Billions of people who don't speak English use websites in English because they have no choice.
A thousand times, this.

In my experience, this stems from the shocking number of "Agile Coaches" lacking practical experience in any of the three main disciplines within a functioning product team (software engineering, product management, or design).

So while they can introduce the high-level rituals -- standups, retrospectives, and the like -- they are unable to teach battle magic: building code that can cope with changing user requirements, writing specifications that make sense to both stakeholders and engineers, and figuring out what problems we acutally need to solve to get people to buy and use the product.

Moreover, they undersell just how much an organization needs to adapt to actually leverage any of this.

The end result is exactly as you describe.

In my experience, companies that succeed with Agile practices are the ones that (a) constantly invest in their people; (b) delegate problems, not solutions; and (c) are ruthlessly rational, requiring that each new practice or idea pays its own rent.
I mean we've had the technology to solve the human condition since what, the 40s?
In the Netherlands there is the NCSC (National Cyber Security Centre). They also scan the internet: It continuously monitors all (potentially) suspect sources on the internet. When it identifies a threat (such as a virus or an attack on a website), it alerts public authorities and organisations. and can act as a mediator: If you discover a security flaw in another government body (such as a municipality or province) or in an organisation with a vital function (such as an energy or telecoms company), please contact the body or organisation first. If you receive no response, please notify the National Cyber Security Centre, which will mediate between you and the body or organisation concerned. with anonimity garantuee: The government treats the notifications it receives confidentially. It will not share your personal details with third parties without your permission unless required to do so by law or a court order. while avoiding court cases for doing your civic duty: When you report the security flaw, check that you comply with the conditions described above. If you do so, the government will not attach any legal consequences to your notification.

You seem to be a bit confused about what Tor and the Tor Browser are. Tor Browser is just a web browser with extra anonymity and tracking avoidance features (in the browser itself, and because it sends traffic through the Tor network). You visit sites you like and avoid sites you don't like, exactly like any other browser. It's not guaranteed to be anonymous: any sites you visit can record and track much of your behaviour there (just like with normal browsers), but third parties can't as easily snoop. Websites with .onion addresses are more resistant to tracking, as your traffic doesn't need to exit the Tor network to get to the destination, but Tor Browser can access most normal sites too.

I suggest you just try it.

It depends how much your friends and family care about anonymity online, because individual people's browsing behaviour can be unique and trackable - a browser cannot magically hide that. To really be confident of hiding successfully you need to do a lot more, and few people really need to or can be bothered.

E.g. I sometimes use the Tor browser at work to check whether local pages are accessible from outside the local network. There I don't care about anonymity, I just want a connection appearing to come from outside.
There are also hundreds of law enforcement agencies worldwide who rely on the myth of the "lie detector" in their interrogations.
If you don't already have it the ability to specify multiple check-in email addresses would probably be good. Too many ways to lose access to email accounts for that to cause distribution of "if you're reading this then I'm probably dead" messages.
> Ignoring the implementation, I think it's fair to say sudo is broken in concept

IMO you're not going far enough. The whole UNIX setuid notion is fundamentally broken to me. The ability to execute a file should logically have nothing to do with the permissions granted to you when doing so. Windows gets this right.

I'll definitely use the monospace option. Does anyone know how to use the CLI version?, is it a separate app?
I am not the OP but I like the challenge so I will entertain the thought.

I guess in some ways, socially, you can see a person embodying certain behaviors and values. And this can spread out in a fractal-like pattern.

Let's say this person is violent and sometimes shouts swear words at other people. Then we look at a family whose members say bad things about another family. Then we look at a village and see it having graffiti on its walls, bad words about another village. Same thing with sports fans. Same thing with countries, having a sort of trade war with each other. Let's now go the other way, perhaps the micro organisms in your body are having a conflict right now, spurting out this liquid and that gas and so on.

In some ways we can consider this to be a fractal.
Kubernetes and containers is an awesome approach to unify deployment process across the company. It allows you to build CI/CD process and automate/unify many things across your stack.

One thing though that I feel like in most cases using it, especially for small companies without separamte DevOps team, can overcomplicate the technology stack and Docker Swarm will be more simple approach without overspending limited resources on what you don't need yet.

If you want to self-host then Kubernetes is like Email, you can do it yourself but most likey it will consume too much resources to maintain and keep it up to date, so you end up choosing service provider for it.

Google was never going to add any ads in their SER section at all.

So that went away. Then they kept on fiddling with how the ads are marked to make it harder to spot the ads, including using colors already in use for other UI elements in organic results. Then they started advertising their own properties in advantageous positions (at the top) whether or not the results were all that relevant, and did not mark these as ads.
