The lack of ports is saving me from buyer's remorse for the new display I bought a couple months ago.
Does anyone remember the address to a website that loaded basically a full blown VM of a random vintage OS? This reminded me of that and I've been wracking my brain to try to remember it
Nebula is very nice too, licensed MIT and has DNS support, something ZeroTier still hasn’t added outside of the ztdns server that someone wrote that I never did get to work properly...

hopefully ZeroTier makes some strides in 2.0.

I got a minor in CS, MS in genetics and have been looking for an industry job for about a year now. I got an interview for a minimum wage Jr. Dev but didn't get the job. Post every time to the Who Wants to be Hired but never heard anything.
I used mbasic.facebook.com for a while when it was not possible to use it from the regular mobile web. But for like a year or something they appear to have turned the web back on (at least for firefox, haven't tested anything else).

Because they would had to add a `/v2` suffix to the import path and seems like they didn't wanted to add that. The question is, why is this not released as v1.0.0 then? Still trying to understand the reasoning for this.
Re-use may be "preferred", but it just isn't practical most of the time. How do you reuse a plastic bottle? They're not fit to be sent back to the bottler and reused; they degrade much too quickly. Basically, to get away from plastic bottles, we'd have to go back to glass, and there's a lot of problems associated with those (high weight (more fuel consumption to transport), easy breakage, etc.).

Filing a nuisance lawsuit is certainly something people understand, but the only result you're going to get is that you get laughed out of court while everyone learns you're an idiot.

There's a difference between (1) trying to speak to someone in a language they understand, and (2) imagining what you think that would be like, doing that without reference to whether it makes any sense, and then congratulating yourself for your penetrating insight. You can't speak to someone in a language that they understand but you don't!
I learned only a few months ago that you can find in Australia some rocks that are 3bn years ago. It’s a unique situation I’ve learned and very "useful" to scientists!

I went to Australia a few years ago and didn’t knew about that. Just want to go back there to see that! The site is very difficult to access though.
Printing still sucked pretty bad in WKWebView the last time I looked into it (which admittedly has been a year or two, so maybe that's been fixed).
> somewhat rare opinion

It's rather more common than you might think. E.g. "Ant Fugue" in Gödel, Escher, Bach.
Something that most Australians don't even seem to realize is that Foster's group is indeed the maker of beers like VB. They simply don't sell anything branded Foster's in Australia, but they are very Australian.
Why couldn't people call a new vote for the new union?
"Savvy managers would hire low-tier performers to protect the productive ones."

Juking the stats! I'm shocked there isn't a middle management bible dedicated to this.

Where is the hackers guide to middle management?
Right. Apple doesn't respect it and has given no indication it ever will.
You can register multiple hardware tokens for a service (if the site supports that).

Regarding export of private keys -- some crypto hardware wallets also support the FIDO[2] specs. -- so there you have the option to use the 12 words to setup a new hardware with the same private keys ...

What posix_spawn does is something like this:

posix_spawn() {
...
pid_t pid = fork();
if (pid == 0) {
...
} else if (pid > 0) {
...
if (...) {
...
return ernno_from_child;
}
...
} else {
return errno;
}
...
}

I’m just pointing out that you’re still using errno, you’ve just hidden it behind a function. All of your syscalls are still getting their results stored in errno. It’s just fork() / exec() with some extra sauce, not a syscall in itself.

I’m not trying to argue, I’m just pointing out that this is just a wrapper function on Linux anyway, and if you want to find an example of a different way to report errors from the kernel, it’s not posix_spawn().
What people usually mess up isn't checking the return code from fork, but checking the return code from the call from some exec variant after the fork.

As you have two processes after the fork call, you have to pass exec error results back to the parent process through something like a pipe.
Coronavirus: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver
Except user replaceable batteries were the norm until recently, and we did not have the situation that you describe. More importantly, user replaceable batteries also allows mobile phone stores to offer dirt cheap replacement services, equivalent to jewelry stores offering to replace watch batteries.
Yeah, it should really only be a periodic thing every 10 years, but really that's what "reorgs" mean.
I’m not so sure you can say this is just a “startup” problem.
Is Home/End not universal? Besides one very broken shell session to some old embedded device over serial over telnet, I've never seen it not work. Isn't that the entire point of those keys existing?
If Robinhood wants to target their app towards people who want a fluid interface and neat graphs, compromising on the always-up needs of day traders, I don't see why that's wrong.
Depends on how likely they are to be found out, and whether trying to do it secretly actually incurs a larger penalty. If transparency guarantees being raked over the coals, while the alternative leads to an equally-bad result only if they are exposed, then the decision every time will be against transparency.
Any suggestions for a good inexpensive or open source zero trust auth solution that supports both HTTP and SSH? I considered Cloudflare Access, but you need to pay extra for Argo Tunnel if you want it to work with SSH.

The main open source option I'm aware of now with support is Pritunl Zero. Was going to actually stand that up today before I read the article.
I never used Brave myself. The problem I see with Brave is is their business model being counterproductive for the web. If I understood correct, they block ads placed by the the content creators, just to replace them with their own monetization model... doesn't seem fair to me.

I think it's really hard to say much of anything about the influence of different cultures on food, especially anything regarding flatbreads.

Every culture has some form of flatbread. Every culture has figured out "we can put other foods in/on-top of this flatbread". They figured it out thousands of years ago. Once you have the basic mechanic figured out, do the exact inputs matter that much, especially when you consider how varied the inputs can be within a specific, arbitrary category?

There is the common, bad-highschool-history meme of "(The Earl of Sandwich/his personal cook) invented the sandwich". Or, every culture has a tradition of picking up food with bread, for thousands of years, and it's not that big of a deal. A grilled cheese sandwich is just a Western European quesadilla!

One of my favorite ways to get people to scoff at me is to call polenta "grits". Yes, yes, "different strain of corn". But honestly, there are so many other variations in polenta/grits preparations that the specific strain of corn is really a minor drop in the bucket, and mostly amounts to regional availability. I know folks who will go nutso-spendo over "shrimp on a bed of polenta" but think "shrimp and grits" is cheap-food.
This is a very balanced viewpoint that I believe is the best one to have as the crisis unfolds. Especially the last part. We subject ourselves to so many unknowns and dangers on a daily basis. It is good, every so often, to take some time to reflect and be grateful for the people in your life.
Lotta memories here. Thanks.
It's naive to think that you can just walk in and solve problems directly in a domain you know nothing about; you'd just be in the way. Also, you don't say anything about what level or variety of software skills you have, so it's impossible for anyone to provide specific suggestions since the odds that they'll match your skill set are low.

The best advice I can give is look around at the information streams you have available and where there are gaps in that which you wish you knew more about. Try plugging one of those gaps by connecting together APIs from different services or suchlike, and see if after a day of two of doing so you feel significantly better informed. If that's the case then share it with others here and incorporate their feedback.

Rendering with JS causes many difficulties. It often simply makes the content less useful - how do we index such a page for efficient discovery (search) for example. Running JS locally to render pages is problematic and often does not work.

I cannot tell you how many times I have gone to commerce sites that use infinite scroll - scroll down - click on and look at a product - back button to listing page returns to top of scrolling page making me scroll down again. What a waste of time.

I went with Benq's equivalent of that display. More connector diversity (shortage of USB-C though), but the speakers are so bad they shouldn't have bothered.

When I replace it I'll have to sort out the speaker situation (currently using the ones on my secondary)
I was given cheese and buttered bread on a short regional flight in Italy. Leagues better than any cheese or bread I'd ever had in the United States.
Must Growth Doom the Planet?
You can tie a metaphysical issue to everything by asking if it "really" exists, or is it something else that is absolutely not distinguishable from the "real" thing.

If by hard problem of consciousness you mean that kind of question, then it is definitely up to philosophy because no one else is even asking it.

Everyone answers the question about P-Zombies every day, by deciding the people they meet are conscious, based only on their behaviour.

The more interesting question is whether it is possible to get human like behaviour from a program running on classical computer.
A majority of people are significantly above the poverty line. If they're living hand-to-mouth, they are mismanaging their finances.

For example, I know a fellow who told me he could not handle the slightest disruption in his paycheck. He was driving a new car, living in new house, wore expensive clothes, and was starting a family.

A friend of mine living in an apartment told me he was unable to pay his bills. I asked him what the payment was on his new car. I suggested he sell the car, and buy a car he could pay cash for. He surprised me by following my advice and was able to reduce his stress about his finances.

My father, an officer in the AF, was once tasked with counseling the privates on their finances, as many were unable to pay their bills on the local economy. (The AF really tries to be a good citizen in the community where the base is located.)

The privates were paid every two weeks. Half of them drank their paycheck away and ate steak for the first week, and begged/borrowed/stiffed others for money the second. They received the same paychecks, but half could not manage their finances. My father would counsel them, work up budgets for them, all for naught.
Give me a name and I will check it out when I get there. I remember going to an excellent pizza place in White Plains.
If you're a republican, people can't do this because of their failings and choices.

If you're a democrat, it's because the economic deck is stacked against people.

I thought that a very large majority of credit card debt was healthcare costs and other structural life costs, so that is score one for the democrat view, although we are a very unhealthy population (so back to the republican view a bit)

Then again, the real estate bubble showed that people were getting way too much house (republican view)... of course enabled by almost no oversight of the lending and financials underling it (democrat view).
Well I'm pretty sure you looked pissed when you wrote that message, and an algorithm can detect that.
The first times it would just try the most popular methods(or only the ones that you chose), and then depending on your reaction, it would try new things until if finds what works best for you.

I'm probably going to starts with very simple suggestions(opening a meditation app, playing relaxing music, displaying jokes, opening a conversation with a friend...), then I'll probably let people add and share their own extensions/scripts to propose new relaxing activities.
"greasy" is usually a failure of cooking method. Even deep-fried food should not feel terribly greasy, if cooked at the right temperature.

But cheese. Cheese is life.
We can agree to disagree on engineering choices. I've been working on/with aftermarket ECUs for just under 20 years, and I'm sharing with you what I've seen from being "in the trenches".
It's not about throwing out the old. The question is "why are they not making them like they used to?" And the answer is "because people that worry about the environment lobbied for regulations that make it very hard or impossible to do so". Every 5 years world population increases by 400 million people. They want refrigerators.
Apologies... didn't read into the NIST requirement. Out of curiosity, what do you normally implement that meets that requirement? Forcing all traffic when there is no security benefit (what is the advantage of getting to https://news.ycombinator.com through the VPN?) seems ripe for a compensating control.
No, it's politically untenable because people don't want to change their lifestyles significantly. At least in the US (since you're talking about SUVs and exurbs and long commutes), it's a democratic society: campaigning on a platform that you're going to drastically raise fuel prices to force everyone to move into the city (which is already extremely expensive, due to many other long-standing factors like bad zoning, NIMBYism, lack of multi-use (combined commercial/residential) spaces, etc.) will mean you simply won't be elected.

On a mobile phone the original is noticeably faster to load, way more visually appealing, and not broken. Mintdata doesn't seem to care for mobile phone display width (in this case?)
Ehh, nature, she always drags some series into the mix - the mortality rate is a function of distribution across age and other health factors - it doesn't seem to drive the immune system bonkers, so WHO is calling out higher risks to older people, esp those with additional factors such as cardiac or pulmonary impairment. Probably due to the fact this is fundamentally a respiratory issue. Abstractly, more data always helps in spite of the cost to get it, but for us in the USA, the last official action has been to delete the tests_administered count from daily CDC reporting. So that makes any projection more guesswork than not.
Won't someone think of the executives, doctors, lawyers, and lobbyists? They have feelings too.
Smart Tactics for Easing Tension in Your Office
Actually, lots of Android phones, including Nexus phones, have this problem, but none of them had a software fix shipped.
I hope that in a billion years we will have time lapse videos of how Earth changes :-).
Not exactly the same thing, but maybe JavaScript's fat arrow function? It originally appeared in CoffeeScript, which is a language that adds some syntactic sugar to JavaScript, and then eventually it found it's way into the JavaScript language. Now most people probably associate it with JavaScript, since CoffeeScript isn't nearly as well known.
That's a deficiency in the teaching, not the language. How much ignorance is excusable before it's the programmers fault for not knowing the language?
Well done. Seems like clear design
Do they still block use of the web UI for Messenger in mobile browsers, unless I check "show Desktop version" in my browser settings?
No, there is absolutely no recourse for any losses incurred while using their platform.
Yes. I had a pretty strong resume and a couple startups reached out to me through the contact information I posted. Also this is not the first time someone has asked.

But remember that you're probably competing with above average developers and as someone with little experience you may be overshadowed. Don't let that discourage you but be grounded in your aspirations.
The problem with any sort of alt-currency whether it's Flattr points or some cryptocoin is that it's always going to have the insurmountable barrier of indirection that ensures it's never going to have more than the fraction of hard-core users that are willing to buy into it. Signing up with Flattr or Coinbase to even access these alt-currencies is such a showstopper when we need a solution that can go mainstream.

I think the only solution that has a shot is enabling and improving the UX of spending plain ol' USD with the same motion we thoughtlessly buy groceries.

For example, a specific low overhead micropayment channel. It's kind of silly to pay the full cost of things like refund ability and fraud protection on a $0.005 purchase.

Without this, I don't see how micropayments will ever be a thing.

People often bring up the mental overhead of a la carte pricing for things like individual Netflix shows vs $12/mo. But I think they're also looking at it through the lens of the current world where you can't even price something below $1 if you're going to accept anything other than cash.
How is this a violation of the friend's privacy?

The friend shared with Facebook, and Facebook intends to store the data forever. The friend shared via Facebook with the GP, and GP could go and read/view the data as often as they wished via Facebook.

Yes, GP shouldn't subsequently share this data with other parties, and GP should take care to secure this data. But why shouldn't GP store the data for their own use, though? Is this any different than archiving emails from the friend?
Apologies, maybe.

I understood it that I can't use the actual soundcloud app with all its functionality that I'm used to. The same app I use when I'm playing music on my phone. I have to use your client app as that's the one which includes support for nymphcast. That's your client app where you've re-implemented some subset of the functionality I want. Soundcloud could integrate the nymphcast client sdk into their app and then I'd have the same experience I get now with chromecast, but why would they do that?

I did not. This is the first I've heard of it.
Oh I didn't realize that was mandatory. I thought omitting v2 from the path was sort of OK until you explained this. Now it just seems wrong.
I believe that Have I Been Pwned provides a useful service, but I find it very strange that needs to be valuated and sold like a startup when it’s essentially been able to survive because people singularly trust Troy with a bunch of illegally obtained material. Like, how do you buy that; how could you ethically and legally make money from it? Why can’t it just continue being supported by contributions?
What about giving colors in 16bpp in linear space instead?

That covers way more displays and future ones, no?

Nice, but it would be nice to know if that is the default or not on Linux as well.

I don't agree with the claim that IPSec somehow automates PKI, it's still very disgusting compared to things like (LetsEncrypt's) ACME. I really hated the PKI on Linux, especially when trying to revoke old keys than on Wireguard. The fact that clients also differed heavily in what they supported was also very annoying.
