> Stadia is the first offering that matches my needs of a Netflix for games

It is by far not the first (Onlive, Gakai, etc.) and it is not a subscription like Netflix but monthly fee + buying games.

I immediately thought mental illness.
Maybe it's just the circles I move in, but I feel like there are enough users who don't want to be tracked and enough websites that don't want to track that maybe some sort of code of ethics would work.

Sign up, promise not to track your users and be open to lawsuits if you're found to be lying.

Granted, it would just be another whack in the game of whack a mole, but we have to keep whacking.
Alternative theory: there aren't enough people who consider it a problem.
Rather than dismissing the parents comment, would you tell us why you find it useless and add to the discussion?

Personally I found mindfulness to be helpful in unwinding, and I've found that my concentration levels are generally higher than they were before I started using it. It may not be the most efficient technique, but it's been a benefit for many people, me included.
These are still around and pushed pretty heavily, but they are primarily for "Buy to Let" mortgages in my research. And offer an astounding TERRIBLE rate on top of the astoundingly terrible concept.

That said, the interest is a great write off for a landlord, especially if they are personally the originator of the loan to their holding company.

I'm glad I'm not the only one saying it in a thread, for once.

> We can't solve a political problem with purely technical solutions.

This is something that is sometimes hard to accept for the hacker mindset, but it's absolutely true and an important thing to realize.
You may want to check the BIOS for your laptop. It often has the ability to swap the `ctrl` and `fn` keys, which is nice for those of us that find their choice to put them on backwards from how they ought to have annoying.
Slow != impossible.
My pi is connected directly to the router via ethernet, and the bandwidth available to my home connection isn't enough to saturate it "unfortunately" (~95/20) so this isn't massively a problem for me. YMMV.
I have CNAME record for my website that points at GitHub. Would your suggestion block this?
All it takes is the will to see so many go without. A price most Western nations won't pay.
I know there’s a Wework office in Hong Kong in Central. I wonder if it’s still open?
> I believe Java overall meant progress.

I'm not so sure, you're comparing it only to C,C++ or Tcl/Tk but what about Ada? Smalltalk? Lisp? Objective-C?

Plus Java's standard library was full of bugs for a looonnng time: they focused on new features instead of fixing it..
I've experienced "Java can't print" myself while Java's hype was going full force..
I'd like a planck with smaller keys / tighter key spacing (85% to 90% of standard) and two keys in place of one big space bar. Maybe splittable at the center, still with possibility to stick the halves together for transport.

Also blank, low profile caps would be nice..
Ah. On that note, I guess my point was that language was never an impediment to UI.

Sure, some things will be easier in English. In other languages, the programmers would just roll with whatever is easier to code; the users would gobble it up as long as it's usable.

Back in the 90's, I've seen pirated software "internationalized" by running the UI keywords through machine translation into Russian. Knowing English was an advantage: if you translated the UI back into English, you could figure out what some of those things did. Still, it existed.

The complexity of language wasn't an impediment, it just lowered expectations for the quality of user interfaces.
With the current trend in EU I think it could happen that they regulate web-advertisement if it becomes too much of an issue. But there's loads of money in the market - so I would expect loads of lobbyism.
Draftsman was always a skilled job, it was never about merely producing neat version of an engineers notes, such as a typist.
> What's the most valuable thing you can learn in an hour?

All the answers to this thread, once they've built up.

Given enough time there would be about an hour of reading and contemplation to be had, and in that time a good deal of advice would be received that can later be acted upon.
I've been working on SPA's that launch from keybase.io public folders and can talk to my local KBFS storage, which is encrypted locally and then and distributed to the cloud. This way I can access my own data anywhere I have keybase installed, using apps I don't need a server to host. It's still all just prototype work for myself, but im excited about owning my own data while still having the safety of cloud distribution combined with the security of local encryption.
Not necessarily. If the UK refuses the request, they likely would have accepted the request from Sweden, and Sweden may have then turned him over to the US.

You get the GDPR and a ton of little banners people click through or a disable button no one sees where, if you click it, you get confusing sliders that you can't tell if they're on or off (intentionally).
Does anyone know if pihole could help here? If not now, does pihole work on blocking 1st party trackers?
That's a fair point, but I avoid on principle laptops with stupid keyboard layouts (which seem to be more and more common these days).

On the other hand, my current laptop (which I haven't bought) has no End key, but rather Home, PgUp, PgDn, Power.
Mastering Atari, Go, Chess and Shogi by Planning with a Learned Model
Our software Construct 3 (https://editor.construct.net/) I think meets most of these points. It runs offline, and we never have access to the users project files. You can save/load locally, and it runs in the browser. Game project files are zips with JSON + raw asset files. No syncing with the server needed so it is fast, and a design mistake that is severely hampering some of our competitors!

I'm not entirely sure how supporting collaboration in real time belongs on this list. Seems like a nice to have that isn't really related to the rest of the list.

Mindfulness is easier than getting weed. You can be mindful of your breathing for 5 seconds, right now. That's all it is, you just sit there letting thoughts come and go, trying to bring focus back to your breathing for 20 minutes. IMO it's better than coffee for acquiring focus and lasts the whole day.
So let us proceed to the real challenge: christmas lights. How can you avoid the guaranteed swearing the following year?
Thanks for using it and providing feedback; it's great to hear you've considered similar applications :)

I really like the idea of being able to patch in an alternative recipe dataset. It strikes me that a default-offline, peer-to-peer search engine (i.e. 'distributed lunr.js') is technically feasible (even if no such codebase exists at the moment, afaik). That would, in my opinion, be the ideal pluggable data source in terms of achieving local-first behaviour, resilience, and privacy, with the option of fully offline & single-device operation.

Shorter-term, once the application's backend code is open source, at least it'll be easier for anyone to run their own instance (it's a containerized set of Kubernetes microservices, FWIW).

You're completely correct about ingredient searching and handling. There's a lot to do here. One of the upcoming 'large' work items on the roadmap is to build a true knowledge graph over recipes and ingredients, with relationships (like nutritional information, substitutions and pairings) between entities. I've started exploring this space, but it's going to take a while, and I want to do it carefully and thoughtfully.

Allergies in particular are a sensitive topic and I don't want to give users any false sense of safety -- that said, it's also a very valid use case which the app should cater for.

Almost every time we do our shopping here we discuss the pricing and stock-keeping problem you mention. In many ways the application would work best if it already knew what you have in the kitchen (and how fresh your ingredients are).

There may be some use for image recognition and OCR of receipts -- or, perhaps better, at point-of-sale in stores. Keeping the application client-first is a goal, and feasible I believe - tesseract.js exists today, for example.

The project roadmap (and changelogs) will be published on the site in the not-too-distant future, and I'd like to use an issue tracker to track bugs and rank feature requests. I'll keep a note to include items from your feedback and you'll get a credit against them once implemented. Cheers!
> Google and Facebook have been adding gclid and fbclid arguments to outgoing links for a while.

Can you you send me an example of both of those please?
With regards to climate change, definitely not. I just wanted to highlight that it's a similar mechanic at play. Perhaps I phrased it oddly.

With regards to Ads I don't take as much a hard line approach as yourself (I remember our last discussion!). I'm very pro ad blocker use but not to go as far as banning them in any way.

Something I've been thinking about is sending a header to websites informing them I'm going to block their ads so they decide not to send me the content if they don't want to. I feel no entitlement to their content as they should not feel any entitlement to what code gets to run on my machine once it reaches me. I might expand on this in a blog post some time soon but it's probably closer to an art project than something actually viable.
Pay wall.
That isn't inflation. Inflation is about consumables. If the valuation of assets rise, that is actually the opposite: If you sell the asset, the returns can buy you more consumables.

And neither S&P nor NASDAQ had anything resembling rampant gains, BTW:

NASDAQ: https://www.macrotrends.net/1320/nasdaq-historical-chart (you have to click on the "by year" tab).

In neither of these charts a person unaware of QE could identify a trend.

And yet their innovations paved the way towards HCI paradigms we take for granted today. So although they weren't practical when they were invented, I think there's still value to these sorts of labs to continue paving the way for the practical creators of of 2034.
A possible solution proposed for this problem is to do DNS checks, which is already done by PiHole. So, yes if you have the 3rd party in your filter, it will be blocked.

It does not, you can share folders with anyone you want without them even needing an account.

We have a private network with many internal servers and many operating systems. Having browsers skip our name servers is a problem.
Sadly, the corruption will only get worse from here on out. They no longer are under oversight of the US Government which while doesn't mean too much, it did at least add some intimidation to prevent doing funny business.

Hi Gus,

Thank you for your feedback! :)

This is an MVP, so it has only the basic features so far. But we are actively working on adding up more.

Could you please write which search parameters you have used so that you've got the empty results?

Currently, we show both direct & indirect flights, but later we will add the filters for that.

Right now in the MVP, the activities are not split by months, we just show which activities are at a location in general. In the next versions, we plan to split them by months, so the users know when to ski and when to go to the beaches in a location. In addition, users will be able to filter by the sea temperature.

The results are auto sorted by price, by the cheapest selected month in each location. Those cheapest prices per location have the brighter button. Later we plan to make a filter by price & flight duration and many other parameters :)
He was at a very real risk of being extradited to the US. You know, one of those countries that keeps ignoring UN human rights reports.

It's not a stretch that he preferred ""deliberate collective ridicule, insults and humiliation" over what the US would do to him.

Doesn't mean that's fair or just. Just that he chose something less inhumane than the US.
Well, I played around enough with electronic equipment as a kid to know that coming in contact with a live 230V house wire is painful and gives you a nice adrenaline rush, but comparing it with the things that could go wrong in a mine (potentially with explosives in place) is exaggerating a bit.
I was working with a circular saw and extension cord on a ladder in light rain Monday night (gotta get that roof up before snow settles in!) and got a moderately bad hit of 110. I didn't drop dead where I stood nor was I thrown off the ladder. Don't exaggerate.

I did retire the extension cord, though.
So I got fed up with current image hosting solutions the other day, because I realized free image hosting is unsustainable and Imgur has turned into a social network, which is the opposite of what I want.

So, I figured I'd create my own paid one, and am working on https://imgz.org. However, I want to add a free tier for people who are willing to host their own images, and was thinking of writing a daemon that would run on the user's computer and store all their images on a directory there. It would have to be mostly-on, but not always-on, since I'm going to be using a caching CDN.

Is this a good idea? I don't know how many people would know how/want to run this, but it feels empowering from a data ownership perspective. What does everyone here think?
IF you want to play on a chromecast specifically, THEN you need to use the Stadia one.

IF you want to play on a windows pc/chromebook/... you can use most controllers, e.g. dualshock, xbox etc, or choose to not use a controller.

Lithuanian is very conservative in some aspects, and very progressive in others. For example, it has lost the neutral gender and it has innovated some cases that didn't exist in PIE. There is no scientific, consistent way to call it as a whole more archaic than any other language.
VSCode is proof that an Electron app can be performant, but that's not the rule, and most people writing Electron apps aren't as talented as the VSCode team.

Also, there's an expectation that an IDE will be somewhat heavyweight. I don't mind if VSCode or IntelliJ grabs a few gigs or RAM, because I live inside those applications and depend on the features they provide.

What I don't want or need is Yet Another Electron Based Markdown Editor that gobbles up half my laptop's memory so that I can edit a hundred line text document.
If you are on a unix system with vim installed, fire up "vimtutor" and learn basic vim usage. At worst you become at least more productive on the de-facto editor installed on most unix systems. Personally I find myself incredibly more productive using vim over most other text editors.
Would this work for just existing products in the supplier marketplace? Or would it somehow enable custom products to be dropshipped?

The advantages for the retailers seems great but what about advantages for the suppliers? Eventually if enough people started using one supplier, they would have so much inventory they would need another warehouse.
According to Allan Savory and some other respectable scientists the problem arose because the plants evolved to support huge buffalo populations and depended on them to clean and fertilize the ground. As their population declined, there was no more mega-herds migrating annually through the prairies and smaller groups of animals had different grazing patterns. Plants couldn't adapt to the new situation quick enough and the balance got broken. Less cover meant more evaporation, drier soil, erosion and rain washing off the soil rich in organic matter, and it all spiraled down to the land turning into semi-deserts. Allan Savory thinks (and he proved this method successful in practice) that the solution is to have large flocks of grazing animals moving around periodically, which stimulates grass growth and grass protects the soil and helps other plants to colonize the area.
Then we block those words :-)
Both bombing drones and stealth helicopters seem to be relatively straightforward concepts that were not publicly developed simply because outside of the military there is no motivation to pursue those things.

On the other hand AI and quantum computing are generally useful and require novel breakthroughs, so I would expect a smaller gap or no gap.
Yes, I think that's the right approach. You just forgot to mention that in order to prevent tracking a new VM is spun up for fetching each page. (Of course this wouldn't be necessary if the browser were implemented by someone who was on the same side as the user.)
Now I wish we had a f*'ed company like site for sharing these stories. As @ilamount suggests, it may be way more common than anyone would guess.

Early 90s, I was the computer kid for a very fast growing retail architecture group within a publicly traded company. Dept grew from 24 to 130 people during my time (just under 2 years).

I was the scape goat for a failed budget & estimating tool.

The shark in the national construction management role hired some goofy consultancy. The shark fired me when his consultants missed their big deadline. I was told that my failure delayed store openings and contributed to the company missing their projected earnings, causing the stock price to decline.

Sure.

That same shark was later busted for kickbacks from vendors, expensing family vacations, and so forth. His crimes were never disclosed. Probably signed an NDA and got severance package. Of course, I never got an apology.

The sad part was that I had already created and deployed a nifty little budget & estimating tool during my spare time. The architects loved it. But I don't know how to manage upwards, so the hierarchy didn't understand the work had already been done. Maybe because my tool was "too simple", compared to the alternatives under consideration (eg integrating MicroStation with Primavera).

My bigger mistake was being honest with the shark. He asked what I thought of his consultants, without telling me he had already hired them. I said something like "They're frauds. Any work they do for us will end up as lawsuits and tears." So the shark probably started engineering the blame shifting at that point.
You're not wrong but I have zero faith that importing a bunch of people from the SV tech scene isn't going to stifle housing construction with SV style zoning, stifle infrastructure improvements with pandering to the environmental crowd^, and price out everyone who isn't making six figures in the proces. Of course they all realize SV style regulation of land use sucks, you need to allow for density and all that but everyone is gonna push for the one or two "little things" that they liked and you have a tragedy of the commons.

I know everyone is gonna read this and thing "I would never do that" but as they say, a person is smart but people are stupid.

^not that that isn't a consideration but in an urban setting "plan, build, assess, mitigate any impacts" is a better workflow than "never building anything because there's always one person who isn't yet satisfied with the proposed environmental impact".
I think the point I was making is not whether the data is allowed to leave my wrist, but to "let me be in actual control" of my data.

In a world of USB sticks, micro SD cards, and $5 Raspberry Pis, I can imagine human-friendly ways of sharing data that don't involve tethering my wrist to someone else's computer.

> The thing is, there is no such products because people are stupid and would be furious if they switch phones and their data was lost on them because they didn't understand that the data was only stored locally and never left the device.

"[P]eople are stupid"? I'd like to give people a bit more credit. They can move data around, without surprise or fury: plenty still use Ethernet cables, USB sticks, iPod Shuffles, Blurays, etc.
It's basically a worm. It could be used to randomly try to brute force, thank to an embeded dictionnary, ssh server allowing password connection, propagated on the new host and start again, leaving behing it a message in new starting terminal shell.
It’s still a 3rd party doing the tracking. They are just using DNS tricks to make it look like it’s a 1st-party domain, thus defeating tracker blocking.
> CPR/Choking/First Aid course is probably close to an hour.

Yes absolutely. Better docs are a top priority right now.
Caesar would rotate vomiting in his grave if he knew you're comparing even his simple ways of using the language to the medieval barbarians. And he didn't speak the same Latin as the founders of Rome either.
Since you say you've been following it, any idea what's going on with modems on postmarketOS? Is there any chance of getting working calls/SMS/data working on conventional phones or is that only likely to work on open source stuff like PinePhone?

That harks to the three kingdoms period where captured armies and populations were slain on the spot day and night day after day.

uBlock origin (more specifically, EasyPrivacy list) blocks 1st party tracking as well.

For example, you could spin up an instance of Matomo (formerly Piwik) for your own website and still see no traffic from adblock users by default.
