I just converted a site to mostly static html because the old cms was out of date and nobody wanted to pay to migrate the site to the newest cms version (for like a decade).

Well eventually the hosting provider no longer supported such an old version of php and the old cms did not support the new php... So it was either re-code the whole site for the new cms or dump it to html and html (with php header and footer) won.
The criticisms read as good starting points for subsequent research.
Seems completely unnecessary and overly complex for anyone who doesn't love Javascript. I'm using Hugo + Git commit hooks to drive deployments. Easy enough, works just as well, didn't require reinventing the wheel. I embed rich content all the time.
This man makes $13000/month (not a typo) putting free content out on royalroad, no need to buy anything: https://www.patreon.com/Shirtaloon

The patreons just get that free content a bit in advance. And in pdf form.

It took him around a year to reach that number.

He writes utter shit, sub-mediocre literature.

Check other top writers on royalroad, they also make lots of money.

The reason books don't sell isn't because of piracy, is because there's TON of free content (not only books) or almost free content (netflix, let's say).
With respect, I don't see where you're seeing an accusation of bigotry; I certainly didn't intend one. You agreed hormone levels are the issue; how is "if hormone levels are the issue" a veiled accusation of bigotry?

> Using 1-sigma in your example is a straw man. Normal female range is 15 to 70 ng/dL, normal male range is 300-1200

My error; I was speaking from pure hypotheticals without knowledge of how the numbers break down. The regulations from IAAF (and the research from the IAAF) indicates "About seven in every 1,000 elite female athletes have high testosterone levels." (https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/02/190212160030.h...)

Still, their stance seems odd... That a person with naturally-occurring testosterone should be required to take suppressing hormones. If the goal is to see "natural" talent apart from doping, how does forcing athletes to take hormone suppressants satisfy that goal? It seems to pretty self-evidently be reverse-doping.

It's also unclear to me why the IAAF would consider higher levels of testosterone to be an advantage in need of intervention but not, say, being born at and training in a higher altitude, which we know increases lung capacity https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4175264/. We don't force athletes training in Santa Fe to train at lower altitudes for six months before an Olympics. Why treat testosterone levels differently?
One of the core features of a spec is semantics.

We're just getting "42" and are stumped, because we didn't describe the meaning of the question nor the answer in a formal way.

To apply meaning we need "us" or the real world. And we need to decide its form.
The proposal you linked is effectively a more formal version of the subkey PFS scheme I alluded to, though it looks like it tries to solve some of the issue with subkeys that make them not a good fit for PFS (though one issue I've had is that subkeys appear to be referenced by their index rather than their keyid, so deleting and replacing them can give you confusing messages on decryption).

> These use a dedicated key per device rather than per season.

For identity, not for encryption (in the PGP world this is the difference between the root key and subkeys -- though the root key cannot be used for encryption in this analogy).

The keys used for encryption are rotated incredibly regularly (for each message in the Signal case, and every two minutes for WireGuard). That is what PFS looks like in asynchronous protocols.
1000x this! People never stop to ask themselves who will pay for the infrastructure needed to upgrade the existing public electrical networks in our cities to support everyone charging their EVs on the street.

Lots of European cities are broke at this point and have much bigger problems to fix right now than EV charging stations and if private companies would install them across the cities, the charging costs would be high enough to make EVs ownership unappealing.

Add the fact that EVs here are more expensive than in the US and you have the reason why most EVs right now are only owned by upper class people who can afford to have their own private charging station on their own property.

There's a reason diesel ICEs, as dirty as they are, are still so popular in Europe. They're cheap to run.

Ironically, as green as it may be, Europe will fall behind China and the US at mass EV adoption.

Unless they'd be given away for free, expecting EVs to take over the market here in 5 to 8 years is dreaming at best.
Exactly,

I’m often fielding questions over on r/aws about how to do X on AWS where X is something simple. I then ask are they trying to solve problem X or are they trying to learn AWS. If it is the former, just use LightSail. Outside of serverless applications, I wouldn’t want the complications of full fledge AWS for a small project and I get paid to know the ins and outs of it.
I mean, the general case is certainly trouble for kids. But 15% and 20% look very similar to 15x and 20x. That the two (sometimes!) operate using different rules causes confusion for many students. The implicitness of the fractions conceals something important that's explicit if you write out the fractions. For example, multiplying percents does not do what most students intuitively think it does.

15% of 8 times 20% of 10 isn't 35% of any nice arithmetic combination of 8 and 10. That's hard to communicate to many students.

I guess the "easiest" solution would be a clean and separate "github" directory where no work happens and where you just cp all your changes from your actual working directory into.

If they version it, I could also imagine using master as an orphan branch and just cherry-pick the changes between two tags or commits into it.

Neat! Unfortunately my included charger and cable were eaten by the charger gremlins. I have a shorter USB-A to USB-C cable (from CHOETECH) that works for seated experiences. If I want something farther, Virtual Desktop.

Haven't been doing much PCVR with it either way though, compared to how much time I've spent in Quest native games.
The JavaScript ecosystem was perfect before 2015. Everything just worked! Then either Hanlon's razor or sabotage. Instead of using the existing standard module system, a new module system was invented that was so alien to the JS ecosystem that now 5 years later it's still broken. I wish ES6 modules where reverted and removed from the JS standard.
Then the standard body not only completely changed the syntax of the language itself, but it also now requires a preprocessor/transpiler...
I know I have pirated pdf/epubs of book in the past (as a broke college student) but I also support the authors as often as possible, a couple of series I can think of off the top of my head I got into when I pirated the whole series liked and them bought paperback and then the audio-books on audible and have pre-ordered hard covers of new releases in the series then got several fiends to buy read them. Not all piracy is lost sales some is unwanted marketing.
Hi - Glad you liked it!

Start with the examples linked above, my recipes are also linked - you can remix them! If you have questions or need help with anything you can email me directly (email address on the site!)

At the moment you can't embed a recipe on your own site - but its something that makes sense if enough people wanted it!
I agree with most of your points, but I'm a bit puzzled by this one:

> a lockdown does not come without its own harmful ramifications: delaying health interventions,

The other harms make sense, but as I understand it, the main point of a pandemic lockdown is to ensure that the healthcare system can cope.

During a pandemic, the lion's share of medical resources are dedicated to dealing with the pandemic. Making the pandemic worse by prematurely easing lockdowns will further delay health interventions.

Hospitals are currently postponing even life-saving procedures if they think their patients can survive a bit longer without them, because they don't have enough intensive care capacity in case things go wrong. That won't get better just because of a policy decision to return society to BAU.

I can have a phone consultation with my GP if I have any health concerns, and if he has concerns, arrangements can be made for an in-person consultation.

I am likely to miss my next regular dental checkup due to the pandemic, and that may mean that what could have been a filling might now be a crown. However, given the proximity of dentists to people's breathing holes, opening them up too early is likely to cause more problems than it solves.
Show HN: OAuth 2.0 Authorization Code Injection Attack in Action
In which ways has Mozilla attacked Facebook? One way I'm aware of is their "Facebook Container" extension, which is basically the same as their Multi-Containers extension, with the key difference of being preconfigured for Facebook. Last I checked there is a similarly preconfigured extension for Google, but that one is from a 3rd party extension developer, not Mozilla (I have a very hard time recommending 3rd party extensions to other people since I do not know if those extensions will remain trustworthy...)

This suggests to me that improving the UX of the generic Multi-Container extension should be a higher priority. As it stands, doing something as simple as creating a new container for a site and then having that site always open in that container takes numerous less-than intuitive user actions.

1) Click "+" (tooltip: create new container)

2) Fill out a name for the container, and choose from a very limited choice of colors and icons (only 8 colors and 12 icons; 96 total combinations)

3) Open a new tab with that container, and navigate back to the website

4) Select "Always open in [container name]"

5) Open a new tab, nagivate back to the website

6) Select "Remember my decision"

7) Select "Open in [container name]"

Step 2 should not have such inane artificial restrictions. Step 3 should happen automatically. Step 6 and 7 should not happen at all because my choice in Step 4 should be respected.

Really people are frankly being delusional narcissistic morons who think their motivated reasoning and wanting something changes reality.

The sad thing aside from the literal thousands of needless deaths is that they could do more reengineeeing to arrange things to be safe and productive at a lower capacity (say hair dressers by appointment with masks and a clean up sequence between customers) but they largely prefer an illusion of normality even though it will just prolong the disease, measures and boost expenses.

If I understand correctly, mathematical solutions can be verified, while neural network solutions would be very hard, if not impossible to verify in reasonable time.
This statement is not correct. Southeast Asia and South America are highly focused on KYC, and while in the past, you could opt out, increasingly opting out is not a option. If anything, they are going in the other direction. I can't speak to Africa, but I can tell you that India, China, Vietnam, Thailand do not treat KYC as "optional" and are planning on only tightening restrictions past what the US and EU require.

Personally I consider the convenience of ebooks to significantly outweigh the inability to resell or possible pricing discrepancies, so I always choose ebook (at least for text-only works).

But that of course is very subjective.
From your linked article, it seems they just use the trees to generate prefix notation.
Learning terraform for the various providers = learning the different syntaxes and design philosophies of different python libraries.

Learning the different IaC tools for each provider = Learning Python, Javascript, and PHP.

Also, Terraform does state management and can be used to package deployments of apps to different platforms. Our IaC pipeline uses Terraform to deploy resources to AWS and several other cloud toolsets, all in one language.
How to validate your business idea
http://erc721.org/ (Edit: https://cointelegraph.com/explained/non-fungible-tokens-expl... is probably better) has a nice friendly writeup. It's basically a token on Ethereum representing a unique object such as artwork, media (like above), a cool sword in a game, cards in a trading card game (Magic like games such as God's Unchained), or even physical items such as cars, houses etc. These tokens represent an individual thing that needs to be usable in the digital world (sending to others, selling/trading, using for identity management etc).
What I want is a Yahoo-style directory for blogs. Blog owners can put their blog in exactly one category. Users can star the blogs they like, similar to GitHub, and identify the low quality click generators/marketing blogs.

I personally find Medium to be a horrible way to find content. Maybe it works for new content, if that's what you're after.

> I wonder what legal changes they would come up. I am not optimistic.

This. The sad reality, IMO, is that government policing of cyberbullying is never going to work out in practice due to its sheer scale. On the other hand, any legal framework that's going to be introduced would likely be abused by bad actors to suppress speech. So it's either going to be pointless at best, and outright harmful otherwise.

For anyone looking to try out the theremin, OpenTheremin [1] is a really cool project that puts a theremin into an Arduino shield. I bought one to mess around with (there's also schematics if you want to build it yourself), and yup - can confirm, it's anything but easy.

I may have seen this on here, but someone made their blog with just html and the posix tool m4: https://github.com/technomancy/technomancy.us

If I ever make a static dev blog, I'm doing the same. I've tried hugo, and it just felt way overcomplicated for what I was trying to accomplish.
Idiocracy begins.
Be careful, you might be running into trademark violations with the popular note-taking app Bear. Seems like both fall in similar genres.
Sure, serving static files will always be the fastest, but this is for people looking for a service like Medium, or Blogger, where there's no need to handle anything locally.
I bought a book with Adobe DRM once. It was a relatively obscure book, and I wanted to support the author. Downloaded the file. Installed Adobe ebook software. Then something went wrong. I had to uninstall and reinstall Adobe software, and after that I couldn't open my new book anymore. Had to break the DRM. I never bought any other e-book with Adobe DRM again. It was obvious that the user experience was the last thing Adobe cared about.

I also avoid Google Play Books. E-books are just one of too many things Google does. IMO Google won't think twice before switching off the service.

I do buy some Kindle titles though. At least it works, books are linked to my Amazon account, and Kindle is core business for Amazon. I bet it will stay around longer.

Landing page is straight to the point, describes what is different about Bear, and links to an example blog. Great!

The only question I still have is what is the editor like?
Well, yeah. That's my point. People in those countries not only have to deal with the friction of KYC when even identity documents can be a problem sometimes but they also have to deal with corrupt banking systems and governments where their money and information might not even be safe to give out.

These people always have the option of using the services I listed. Anyone can. They are free and unstoppable for anyone who needs them regardless of nationality, race, status, etc.
It's not a terrible deal if I prefer it in digital form (most fiction in particular) especially if I'm likely to only read it once. In normal circumstances, digital is much better for me as I can travel with all the books I want.
It doesn't do quite everything you asked for, but gitk fulfills a lot of that.
I think you may be half-right. I don't recollect the guidance on fleshing out NPCs quickly, so that's definitely something I should revisit.

> Or the play style section in chapter 1, which is about how different people play for different reasons, and you should get to know whether which of your players are looking for hack and slash, versus immersive storytelling. That's even more important in other kinds of games than it is in D&D!

I think other kinds of games these days take for granted, "this is what this game is about - you and your group should be on board for this style of play and, if not, you should definitely play a game that is suited to your tastes." Trying to use one RPG mechanical chassis for wildly disparate gaming styles is definitely part of what I think of as "classic D&D".
From Neal Stephenson's Cryptonomicon, describing Britain during WWII (all emphasis mine):

"The British gas masks have a squat round fitting on the front to allow exhalation, which looks exactly like the snout of a pig, and no woman would be caught dead in such a thing if the models in the gas mask posters were not such paragons of high-caste beauty."

But maybe he invented this -- I've never seen a copy of such a poster. (Edit: I've found at last something related, just a photo, not a poster, and a "South African": (1) ) What's certain is that there were mask "issues" around 1918 in the US, at the time of another pandemics:

AI gets such a bad rap. People only think of unsolved or sort-of-solved problems as AI, and don't give AI any credit for the problems it has solved, I guess because by definition those problems seem easy.

Think how much Microsoft Office and competitors have amplified business productivity over the last 20 years (yeah yeah, make your jokes too). Word and Powerpoint and Excel are full of AI whether it's spellcheck or auto-fill, drawing algorithms like "fill with color", etc. So many things that were AI research papers of the 70s, 80s, or 90s. And those innovations continue today.

Logistics companies rely on huge amounts of optimization and problem-solving. Finding routes for drivers and deliveries, planning schedules, optimizing store layouts, etc. -- that's AI.

Employees use AI tools to improve their lives and productivity whether it's a rideshare or maps app to get to work, speech-to-text, asking Siri for answers, translating web pages, etc. All of this comes out of research in AI or related fields.

How many office jobs don't require someone to use a search engine to find and access information related to a query? Information retrieval is one million percent AI.

Robotics and automated manufacturing has been huge for a long time -- robotics is closely connected AI and related problems like control theory.

The best applications of AI have almost always been to support and enhance human decisionmaking, not replace it.
I don't believe so since I think suffix aliases are only affected by the "file extension" of the command you've added. The suffix alias in the OP is saying that if they paste something that ends with ".git", then clone that thing (i.e. if you paste the git url for a repo, it clones it). It doesn't overwrite the git command

Why do people think that they can give Amazon a credit card number and expect everything to be easy enough for them and suitable for a large enterprise? AWS offers something for beginners - Lightsail. When that outgrows their needs, they can peer their behind the scenes LightSail VPC to a full fledge VPC.
All of that is true, but it's also worth balancing that with the fact that when I was writing that book, I was only spending about an hour a day on it, and now I spend zero hours a day. The long tail of passive income seems to be pretty long so far.

You're right that it will be hard for many people to make a living solely off writing technical books. But I also think it's true that you can make more money that most people realize just by not giving a traditional publisher a huge cut of it. Maybe not enough to live on, but likely enough to make it worth your while.
