Stories like this only confirm to me that while Zoneminder is far from perfect it was the better option for me compared to using consumer-grade options. I buy cheap ($40-$60) PoE cameras (I have some Reolink and 1-2 SV3C's I think), I immediately block their internet access by MAC address, then add them to ZoneMinder. I have 2 Wyze cameras as well but they are also only allowed to talk to ZoneMinder and I have flashed a custom firmware on them.
I was intrigued by this, so here's a quick explanation by Garmin:

Great stuff, I want to try this on normal PC or Server :).

> there are thousands of lines of hacked-together proprietary vendor code in those kernels where just going up a minor version will break the build. For a 2.6 based system in particular, you would essentially need to convert the entire board support to a device tree based system.

What I don't get with these cases at all: by the GPL manufacturers are forced to provide the full (!) Linux kernel source code, same goes for u-boot. But while Tesla at least seems to provide source code (https://github.com/teslamotors), why the fuck and how can Android phone and other embedded device makers get away with not publishing anything?

Let's just take two examples of hardware that I know run Linux because I managed to root them:

- Sony A7S2 camera: the firmware is at https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/downloads/00016077, but no mention at all about contained open-source code, licenses, or build instructions

- HP Z2100 24-inch plotter: firmware is at https://support.hp.com/sg-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-designje... (you have to select Windows XP 32-bit to see the firmware download, even though the firmware can be installed via anything capable of running a browser), and again, no mention of anything regarding Linux.

It's hard until you have the toolchain and I/O working. That's what it's a test of. The rest of WebAssembly doesn't seem like an obstacle at all to me. For me the big unknown is how to get a wasm program running at all and communicating with something on my screen.
the locations are identical to the ones users submitted for ingress, the previous game niantic did.

for that you didn't need much vetting and because the popularity was low nobody cared so much. most likely some servicemen (servicepersons?) submitted the spots.

Hi, sounds good! My email is katie@ae.studio message me and we can coordinate.

See the activity heat map about halfway down the front page? That is (or could be) a single person's play pattern. It is ludicrously easy to figure out where the average player works, if they play at work. It's often easy to figure out where they live. There are enough points of interest in any urban area so that game activity tracks where you typically go, not just where the game wants you to go.

And that site is using a fairly crude, incomplete method for scraping. It doesn't capture everything by any means.
Its about the same, you burn several thousand calories or a few tens of mega-joules biking 100 km.
That's somewhat less convenient, don't you think? This works if you're at the park typing a paper up, or at a Starbucks where all the outlets are in use, for instance.
The CEO says 1-1.5%.

"Cerebras approached the problem using redundancy by adding extra cores throughout the chip that would be used as backup in the event that an error appeared in that core’s neighborhood on the wafer. “You have to hold only 1%, 1.5% of these guys aside,” Feldman explained to me. Leaving extra cores allows the chip to essentially self-heal, routing around the lithography error and making a whole-wafer silicon chip viable."

Everyone's needs to be raised at the same time or it's useless. It's like in a race imagine the fastest route tramples a bunch of flowers. If the individual agrees to go around them they'll lose. There's nothing wrong with proposing something that as a group one should do that as an individual makes no sense
Here are my 2 cents worth of prediction.

1. Energy will become very cheap (almost free), solar and wind will be about USD 5-7 per MW-h (or ~USD 13 per BOE)

2. The Chinese CCP will fail. - China will return to local strongmen who may claim to be the CCP. But are really Warlords similar to 1919 - 1940.

3. Major ecological failure. The shit will really hit the fan. Millions dead and many more millions trying to get to rich countries.

4. Economic growth stalls - all the neo-liberal bullshit dies. Growth hits hard ecological limits.

This is just the start, modern civilisation will be lucky to survive until 2040.
This is not about a trade deficit with a specific country, it is about a trade deficit with the rest of the world. It is as if you pay your neighbor kids more than you make yourself.
Yes, you're absolutely right: React itself is great. But React is part of the NPM ecosystem; try using one without the other.

It's not, or if it is then there's a bug somewhere that breaks this behavior after doing something, as it's been a problem I've had on multiple macs I've owned for almost a decade now, and it just annoyed me yesterday.
And military service too... reassign every recruiter to any other duty and let people sign up only if they believe it's a proper thing to do.

It only becomes "more difficult" as measured by people not onboard the spaceship. For people onboard, time effectively speeds up for the rest of the universe, so that there is no brick wall to your acceleration. Therefore, it's also possible to time travel into the future, but not into the past.
Why are you assuming that more driving means a higher standard of living? That’s a very provincial and suburban perspective to have. I’d rather be able to walk and take the subway places than have to drive everywhere.
Also Swedish, and equally puzzled. I think we've got to realize that there's a low-intensity political war in this aspect, and that we're (supposedly) battleground zero.

To be honest, whenever I see this, all I think is: Entitlement. "I've reached this level. I want to stop others from reaching this level."

"I want to just limit my work to what I feel is sensible, and no-one should be allowed to compete with my work."
And just to add, "utopia" was the wording Marin herself used. Of course she supports the idea but I assume she does not see it as a realism in very near future.

Missed the edit window, but for the glasses issue I should also mention the 3D printable inserts to hold corrective lenses, designed to match a $10 pair of glasses from Zenni Optical. Pop the lenses out and put them in these:

https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3642004

Not as convenient as just keeping glasses on if you share the headset with other people, since they'd need to remove your prescription inserts. I believe someone made a similar adapter in two parts with magnets to pop the lenses off quickly.

Or if you prefer a more finished product instead of 3d printed frames and ordering glasses from Zenni, WIDMOvr sells prescription inserts.

But people also demand far more from their lives. Nowadays people want to have a TV, a phone, a computer, lots of software and entrainment on these devices etc. Our cars are much safer, our food is safer, we have far better and more healthcare etc.
That's most tech companies that model after Google and have their senior leadership all ex-Google. Including mine.

Hiring seniors is tough and not a lot of companies want to pay market for them when they can get fresh meat for the feature factory and see if they get good on their own in a year or not.

It's extremely unfortunate, but for me the solution is to not work at places with hundreds+ of engineers.
Windows syscall numbers change with every service pack release (see https://j00ru.vexillium.org/syscalls/nt/64/ for an incomplete table), and the interfaces themselves are not guaranteed to be stable in any way. ntdll is the only reasonable way to make syscalls on Windows. Trying to build your own syscall code on Windows is fragile and unmaintainable.

Linux maintains stable syscall interfaces. BSDs don't guarantee it, but generally don't change much. But macOS and Windows can and will change their interfaces.

Thanks. I missed his sarcastic tone entirely, but now I see it.
Scammers have ways around that as well. My father called me once asking about malware, he also mentioned that they actually placed a timer, applying pressure that he supposed to respond within 2 minutes. There are a lot of tricks those scammers are using.
Some people argue that the GPL2's clause

"You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein."

is violated because you need to agree to additional terms from Apple to use the apps.

https://www.fsf.org/news/2010-05-app-store-compliance

In this case however, the code is under the GPLv3, which is far more problematic. It contains a "anti-tivoization" clause, which says you cannot require any "methods, procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install and execute modified versions"

Yes the whole getting more power into a datacenter is much easier to add than the extra cooling capacity to remove that power once it has transitioned into heat. But I'd imagine they would plan and monitor that aspect and may even have redundant cooling systems. But certainly a potential gotcha and one that would soon sort out the bad datacenters when they end up seeing all there hosting overheat and offline.
Why don't they just take another job if the law is so problematic? It is not like being a sex worker is necessary to live a good life, it is just another job. Not like alcohol which is a significant part of the social fabric for basically the entire society.

Upvoted because I think you're the first response indicating an understanding of the challenge: the prospect of walling off discourse regarding support groups for a paraphilia may plausibly be a loss (vs, say, what might be lost if the freedom to train a dog to perform nazi signifiers is limited).

OTOH, it's an example I'm skeptical is functioning as a loss, because it's as easy to construct the idea of such groups as affinity gatherings as it is to construct them as remediation meetings. As far as I can tell from secondhand familiarity with, say, BDSM-involved folks (which I'd assume is a reasonable parallel for most paraphilias and maybe even an example of something DSM-demoted), there's never been a better time to find other similar people for communal discussion and exploration of what it means to live ethically and well in that way.

Are there concrete examples of related legal trouble for people? If so, are they from people incorrectly construing affinity gatherings as remediation meetings, or are they from people suggesting that remediation should be the primary purpose of gathering paraphilia'd people together?

If there are speech-related restrictions, I assume we're talking about a context outside the US. Here AFAICT it would be quite legal to discuss support groups as outright reform efforts (and in many jurisdictions actually run such support groups as ostensibly legitimate therapy).
It's possible. It causes headaches for companies, but it's not different from adding a new tax or a new regulation.

They will just have to find a way to deal with it.

Half the stuff on Brietbart is talking about what the left media is saying about themselves, it's their biggest selling points, the victimhood is the strategy (just to make a point, not support the site in any way). There's an endless supply of assaults, some justified, which creates feelings of an endless onslaught against the average right wing moderate voter. There really is no middle ground for them in the media, it's crazy extreme stuff on Fox news or constant assaults on every other channel, being treated like it's crazy to have even considered Trump.

Yet they still did and they might do it again. But no one seems to give a shit, they just obsess about identity politics and white nationalism, which only further pushes the sane ones away (rather than closer).

WSJ is the only place I've found that is still at least trying to be neutral, or at least take a centered take on the reporting instead of presented shamelessly with an obvious left-wing agenda like most NYT and WaPo articles turned into a few years back.

The fact is there was a significant enough amount of people who simply didn't like Hillary Clinton, which scared off a bunch of otherwise moderates, middle of the ground, people which are the critical bread-and-butter of battle ground states - which the democrats badly needed. Yet they remain ignored.

They were called despicable for even considering non-Hillary support. The DNC has completely missed the ball and is only further alienating these same important people.

Beyond that, the fact alone that Trump is polling anywhere near equal should be shocking and concerning to every democrat. This dude gets negative press 24/7 - globally, not just in the US. Even on comedy shows like SNL they have a non-stop field day with it. Yet he still polls.

There's obviously something serious missing that the democrats aren't getting here. This should be an easy landslide. I'm convinced the big mistake is the left's obsession with identity politics, and constant legitimacy that's being given to it, while simultaneously being disconnected from the average voters in rural and small town areas in battleground states. Maybe the damage has already been done and they don't need convincing (the scenario where minimal thought and rationality is assumed, lowest common denominator).
Was that even English? You know processors aren't supposed to be this difficult that your skull explodes, correct?
As someone who works for another startup in this area, building the chip is only half the battle. The other half is tooling for compiling benchmark networks onto the chip in a performant manner. With 400k cores and their 'duplicate and re-route' defect strategy, this might literally be the most challenging compilation target ever made. It probably stacks up absolutely terribly in every metric right now. That's not to say it will necessarily get better, most of the people I've talked to don't think the megachip will ultimately amount to much more than a clever marketing ploy.

> - As a result, global proteins will enter a multi-year up-cycle. All proteins (beef, chicken, pork) will benefit.

I am not so optimistic. Climate change discussions, a couple notable exceptions (Trump, Bolsonaro, Morrison) aside, generally has recognized that animal protein and the efforts required to create it (deforestation for growing food, over-nitration due to feces used as fertilizer) are no longer sustainable. I can very well imagine massive bans or quotas as a result, the Dutch government is actually forced to do something to reduce their CO2 contributions by their Supreme Court.
I don't understand what it means to "all just come down to" a metaphor. Metaphors are inherently high level and abstract - the very opposite of what things "come down to", which is used to describe a concrete, pragmatic causation. The specific metaphor also is unhelpful, as it throws away the uniquely human nature of both morality and freedom of choice.
Q: How come Teslas are running kernels from 2008?
Except the copy-writable part is not the part anyone wants. But I think you're on the right track.

I'd argue it's the authors trying to differentiate (and add value to ) their copy of the recipe vs the 100s of others. And I suspect some do believe that adding dialogue or slightly changing the recipe covers them from copyright claims (not realizing recipes aren't covered) or provide them with some copyright protection of their own.

Others probably do it because that's the way it's always been done, but don't realize what they're trying to emulate...

It's the Martha Stewart / Alton Brown recipe for success, where the details are more interesting than the underlying recipe. But people mistake the extra detail for sentimental fluff (Martha Stuart) or technical babble that they don't understand (Alton Brown), and so they just perceive the formula as recipe plus fluff, without seeing the value that fluff should add.

Or they misjudge the value that they think they are adding with their own fluff.

Also probably relevant: recipes (along with product pages) are a couple of categories that Google treats drastically different than general web pages. And as a result has had unintended consequences for the worse, as far as overall quality of the web goes. I'm looking at you, affiliate links.
> Are you suggesting no rich people should support higher taxes unless they volunteer more tax money now?

My ire is more directed at billionaires who do such things as publicity stunts as they lobby to lower taxes - especially for their corporations, but essentially, yes. Nobody forces people to use loopholes to lower their tax rates or take deductions, or use a variety of different methods to lower their tax burdens. If they think taxes should be higher on themselves, why do they need to wait until the government raises the tax rate?

* I pay $100,000 in taxes but I think I should be paying $200,000 because I'm altruistic (more likely you want to be well-liked and seem like a good person)

I'm not sure how that's a "gotcha". If you say you believe in it, what's stopping you?
Lambs don't think eagles are evil because lambs don't have complex systems of morality. The lamb is just frightened and sad that it's gonna get eaten. It isn't judging the eagle. It knows there's nothing "personal" about getting eaten; the eagle has to eat to survive.

Whereas in our world, we judge each other with our own set of complex rules, and we treat each other based on those rules, rather than just rules of survival. It results in a lot of conflict that has absolutely nothing to do with competing for a mate, finding food, or sheltering. We trick ourselves into believing the complex rules are more real than reality. We think 'evil' is real, when in reality it's an imaginary concept that doesn't exist as a part of nature. There is no such thing as an evil being.

Hell, we think there's an invisible being in the sky that watches our every move and judges us, and based on that belief we kill people. As a species, we're insane.
This a basically a list?
I would probably look into it if I was already on some government agency's radar for whatever reason. You've probably broken a ton of obscure laws yourself without knowing it.
There's the TPK Algorithm, but it still doesn't show off certain parts of the language, such as dynamic memory allocation or passing around references/pointers. Of course, not every language has those things, and it was invented to demonstrate precisely the kinds of languages which don't, such as Eisenhower-era FORTRAN. It does have user input as well as output, plus iteration and conditionals.

It renders fine for me in Firefox, but garbled in Chrome. Disabling this CSS rule "fixes" the layout for me in Chrome, without breaking anything obvious in Firefox:

@media (min-width: 500px)

I'm not actually sure what benefit that rule provides in the first place, but I haven't done any serious CSS hacking in forever.
