> I'd like to self-host a solution that let you upload... from a browser, but then let the server cache/host the file... as well as give you a shareable magic link for torrent clients... and a http url for browser download.

Not self-hosting or open-source, but: One could upload objects to S3 and generate a .torrent file to download it from a BitTorrent client or download it via HTTP. Both these features are available at no extra cost (except for the bandwidth, of course).

Unfortunately, S3 has stopped supporting .torrent downloads from newer regions (post 2016). Also, the per-torrent object size is limited to 5GiB, plus enabling public and anonymous access to the torrent-able object is required, which is understandable but might be not feasible for most use-cases.

Right. I was expecting something like prions.
After all, business wants to make money and solve their problems. And the more independent and effective you can do it, the higher your role will be. Businesses can be different and the roles have different requirements as well.

And the top skill of the engineer is not the list of known programming languages, not the ability to close tasks, not knowledge of the bazillion algorithms, not certificates of the scrum master. Namely, the ability to take a real problem and solve it yourself is the main skill of a professional. Solve it yourself does not mean alone. By yourself means to be able to find the necessary resources, people, set tasks, control the result and bear responsibility for this.

To the best of my recollection, before the address field ended up doing double duty for web searches, the defaulting to .com happened across several browsers (never thought it was just Windows, though). — So for a while, I ended up getting .com domains, even when I had and wanted country domains, and redirected the .com to the country specific domain.

I’m in your camp. Apple Notes somehow fell into this gap for me. For me the ability to format, add images and screenshots and easily share gave it an edge over plain text.
People have indeed complained - for decades - the same way people complain that their cars run like crap of they never change the oil. But companies can't change the laws of physics. Again, if this functionality does not exist then these phones wouldn't just be slow, they would be unusable.

As far as ease of replacement goes, Apple prioritizes form factor over ease of service. Mercedes vs. Toyota.
Yeah, for some reason I thought the NIST had ended that service but evidently it hasn't. That's a bit amusing since there is discussion of ending the shortwave radio service which is significantly more important than the telephone service, although admittedly much more costly to maintain.

Fortunately, so far, WWV/WWVH/WWVB have survived the budget process despite a pseudo-decision having been made to end the service. We'll see how long that continues.
This should never be reset. There was a feature update that reset some settings when it was first rolled out. This is why I advise people to delay feature updates for at least a few weeks. There's no advantage to being an unpaid QA tester.

why what doesn't work? montessori works. if you don't use montessori or similar methods obviously that doesn't work. montessori training takes about a year, half of which is spent in class (from what i remember). shouldn't be to hard to add that to traditional teacher education, so it not a problem of not being able to scale the training to more teachers. it's down to the political will to actually improve education.
I wonder why this and those with similar comments were downvoted. I have spent some time studying both systems (at 2 universities) and observing over decades, and it looks accurate to me. The law of consecration, doctrinally, in all the source documents and major attempts to practice it, is voluntary, as is any true Christian behavior.

I learned some things about communism, read a number of books about individuals' experiences, from various countries, for a little while majored in Russian history at a university in the midwestern/central USA, reading, watched many Soviet films, etc., and my mother has a degree in Asian Studies and knows Mandarin, etc etc of various family studies & travel, and communism seems consistently, across time and place, to be a combination of attractive words with a murderous horror of physical and mental abuse and control over individuals and any group that might not be in favor with those in power.

The end of the article the owner talks about why he doesn't just give the domain name to Microsoft for the good of security, and he has imo a good reason - Microsoft fucked up and should shoulder the responsibility. Even more incredibly is it seems some requests were coming from Microsoft owned machines. He talks about how massive fortune 500 companies may be aware of the issue but unwilling to do anything about it.

So it seems, as ALWAYS, we're going to have to wait for state sponsored actors to buy the things, embarrass the shit out of a couple CEOs by posting their dick pics they're inexplicably sending over company mail, and THEN corps will start doing something about it.

1. On any work computer in enterprise setting, you can't install what you want. Not having Notepad install would be crippling

2. When I just want to copy or edit a piece of text, or remove its formatting, Notepad pops up in imperceptible amount of time (I have it bound to shortcut). No other alternative I've tried does that

3. World exists beyond Hacker News:). My wife, dad, father in law, mother in law, sister, etc - NONE of them would want to install another software just to write down a few notes. Certainly not an IDE... :S

Point being:

1. I have Sublime, Notepad++, Beyond Compare, and MS Word installed; they all have their uses. Notepad still does as well.

2. Let us all take the time to think beyond our own specific context & use case, and world will become a better place :)

Is rules/legislation against scraping really meant to prevent it, or merely provide a mechanism to punish the perpetrators when discovered?

I have thinked a lot about this and my conclusion is that this requirement is foolish when you compare it to the cost/time drawback.
This is true! I was trying to simplify things a bit for a basic explanation, but I fear I oversimplified. I just meant that the generally used math breaks down; if you're aware of the problem, you can correct for it, but very often people don't.

Five floors probably isn’t too bad, thought of course that depends entirely on how many people in each apartment and how large they are — e.g. one person in a 50 m² place, divided by five floors, with 20% efficient panels, 25% duty cycle for night/latitude, still implies 500 W, compared to the average electricity consumption in Switzerland of about 900 W per person. It’s not everything but it’s also a pretty impressively large number.

(Something I only found out by looking up Swiss energy consumption: apparently Switzerland produces just over half of its current electricity from hydro power, which makes sense considering the terrain).
I would prefer https://www.getpaint.net, if that web site weren't littered with misleading ad units designed to trick people who want to download the Paint.NET software into actually downloading adware.

Yeah, so GPS was designed to not apply leap seconds from the start, which is important because there's a field built into the protocol to send the current offset. The reason I describe it as "no longer applying" is because the GPS time is monotonic from UTC at an arbitrary starting point, so it doesn't match up with any of the strictly monotonic time bases either - that is, GPS time is monotonic but does not match the agreed upon international monotonic time standard, TAI, because GPS time has some of the UTC leap seconds applied.

TAI is also, of course, fundamentally just a divergence from UTC caused by not applying leap seconds. However, formally, UTC is defined as TAI plus or minus the leap second offset in order to minimize divergence from UT1 (which is a smoothed astronomical time base rather than monotonic). GPS time is TAI plus or minus a different offset caused by some of the leap seconds being considered.

There is a basis for this, LORAN did the exact same thing but with an earlier divergence point.

There is... but one of the problems with the sport of sailing is that there are so many variables and working out what's chance and what's a trend is incredibly difficult.

It's been well known for the last 10 years that the Australian manufacturer builds notionally "better" boats (stay stiff for longer, less likely to leak or crack etc), but there are still variances in key measurements which you need to look out for. The biggest ones are hull weight and mast rake (how upright the mast is in the boat fore and aft which has a critical effect on how the rig is tuned and the performance characteristics of the boat).

Boats come off the production line with fittings in slightly different places, different amounts of material in the layup, key parts of the hull not quite aligned the same etc.

There's significant variance between masts as well. The sections are extruded aluminium and over the lifetime of the extrusion die they go from having slightly thinner walls to slightly thicker ones. Mast manufacturers seem to end up with slightly different grades of aluminium as well. This affects the stiffness, a very important factor when it comes to how powerful the rig is with lighter sailors preferring thinner masts and heavier sailors thicker masts.

Competitive sailors will try and measure everything they ever use to keep track of what they think works for them, and then select carefully when they purchase something new.

All this goes against the ethos and values of the class, which is that there's no equipment advantage possible and it's all about the sailor. This is dealt with at the Olympics (and at World Championships for the Olympic categories) by having mandatory supplied equipment which hopefully has been selected so that it's all as identical as possible. For all the competitions you need to succeed at in order to get to the Olympics however, it's the wild west!

The r/exmormon subreddit has 155,000 members. The r/exchristian subreddit has 60,000 members. When you compare as a percentage of global population of members of their respective religions, it looks even larger.

Several of my favorite coworkers are in the few fucks given category. They don’t want to be in charge. It’s too much work and too little return.

I’m not sure they’re wrong. If most of our problems come in the requirements phase, and we don’t have all that much control over those (some businesses the sale people sell things before we have a chance to veto) then you can be as efficient as you want and still be ineffective as hell.

And there’s always bad luck.

Probably they’ve figured out that tying your ego to your job means every bad turn becomes an existential crisis and that’s often a lot of wasted energy.

I spend a lot of time trying to put people in a place to solve their own problems. To me that’s always been the role of the lead, but some people think it’s all about them.
> Removing these will actually remove files from the system and not just links.

It removes a copy. There's still another one in the installation archive. If you have your system set to CompactOS mode, which you would presumably do if you were worried about space, I think it really would just be removing a link.

> This is definitely not the reason.

Definitely? Even though they completely removed mspaint.exe from some of the preview builds a while back?

Development environments. The amount of time and hassle I've seen lost to getting a working development environment up and running is incredible.

Every time I talk to someone who's learning to program I tell them: "Setting up your development environment will be a nightmare. I have been doing this for twenty years and it's STILL a nightmare for me every time I do it. You are not alone."

Docker is reasonably good here... except you have to install Docker, and learn to use Docker Compose, and learn enough of the abstractions that you can fix it when something breaks.

https://glitch.com/ is by far the best step forward I've seen on this problem, but it's relatively limited in terms of what you can accomplish with it.
The ones that make the most sense. In that case, again, the WHO. Why? Because a lot is known about Corona viruses in general.
And that one was analysed a lot as well. The WHO is looking at all numbers, not just the ones from China. And apparently these numbers do make sense based on everything we know so far. And these numbers also do ad up, the Chinese ones also seem to make sense in the international context.

Now, I am no expert. But when experts in field are indirectly, in the case of China, and directly verify numbers, and these numbers do make sense based on models and expectations, I go with the experts.

And by all respect, these experts are not on Twitter and YouTube. Because all these. Numbers on YouTube and Twitter, all these videos, are impossible to confirm. Impossible to put them in the proper context, location and time vise. And impossible to verify. Add to that the stress and fear of people on the ground producing these videos, and the ignorance of Youtubers not being on the ground, and you get an unreliable, uninformed mess.

That's a hypothesis that can be checked. Go over the data and splice it by time of day, or rather position of the sun given the location/time/day of year. Then you should see a much higher correlation when the suns out than when pooping at night.
