Oh that's interesting. That might be an extra reason why devices are still preferentially coming with USB3 type A plugs on the other end - it's actually more flexible that way? I am in fact plugging both of my new USB-C devices into a USB3 hub, and had no idea I wouldn't have been able to do the same with USB-C cables and hub.

(I assume you can still have a USB3 hub with type A sockets on it, plugged in to a USB-C port? - edit: oh, just noticed a sibling comment says this doesn't seem to exist either. Now that is very odd.)

A lot of people end up in law school because of courtroom dramas, even though the vast majority of attorneys don't spend much time at all in a courtroom...
I am not the author of dwl. Since dwl is based on wlroots (just like the popular Sway) it already supports making screenshots using grim[1] and screencasts using wf-recorder[2].

You can try out dwl from within your current WM. The default modkey is Alt. If you want to use the Super key, change `#define MODKEY WLR_MODIFIER_ALT` in `config.h` to `#define MODKEY WLR_MODIFIER_LOGO` and recompile. The default terminal emulator is kitty but you can change `termcmd` to alacritty if you want.

Currently, only native Wayland applications run on it. You can enable experimental Wayland support for Firefox with `MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1`, see Running programs natively under Wayland in Sway Wiki[3].

Do not hover over the edges of windows – this will crash dwl.

You can but you'd need to account for every OS/update combination to make sure you get the UX right. Many apps do something similar for teaching people how to click through the trust dialogs when running the installer when downloading with chrome/ie/edge/firefox/chrome-edge/etc.

Not impossible but it's definitely a hassle and probably non-trivial to get right.
I seem to recall you saying this before, and I assumed it was a joke, since someone who was doing that probably wouldn't say they were doing it, and it would devalue the sold account to leave a comment like that up.

But now users are asking me if this is ok. Obviously it's extremely far from ok, if true, so I need to ask: is it true?
If there is someone behind them, it would be better to try drive around the obstacle.
"never" seems like a strong word when talking about technological developments over a 30+ year horizon.

Stages of a Human-in-the-Loop Machine Learning Application
I suspect those sorts of blanket bans for warfare had more to do with easing enforcement (are those canisters tear gas or nerve gas? Doesn't matter, they're banned) and reducing availability of equipment that could easily be re-purposed to deliver lethal or maiming chemical weapons than any particular horror associated with tear gas per se. I mean bombs are allowed in war, but my preference for getting badly tear-gassed rather than having a bomb fall anywhere near me is pretty high.

(Nb I don't intend this as support of any particular actions by the police lately)
yeah, i've read a few of these analyses, and while they're mildly interesting, they're not nearly as earth-shatteringly insightful and counter-intuitive as many seem to think they are. it's mostly bog-standard strategic analysis you learn during MBA school, but to ben's credit, well laid out, organized, and appropriately cited.

this particular post seems to marvel at how big tech provides otherwise-sheltered people a lens on the wider world, and by extension, a (rather tiny) mechanism of change. it claims more significance for this mechanism than, you know, masses of people marching on the streets, because that's the vantage point of the author and it's relative importance to him.

The Panama Canal has locks mainly to raise (by 26m) the water-level over the land. It's less work to flood the area than to dig a giant channel between the oceans.

The average sea level difference on each side is minor in comparison (20cm). Plus, the average sea level isn't constant through the whole ocean. It's variable depending on location due to different salt concentrations (salty water is less dense).

I think it’s a list of many valid criticisms, but it’s just so tiring at this point. We’ve been talking about the Touch Bar and the ports for almost 5 years now.

I hate to be that person saying “if you don’t like it, don’t buy it” but that’s absolutely the case here. People are handcuffing themselves to macOS for no reason even though they admit they don’t love it like they did 6-8 years ago.

The integration is nice but there are alternatives. You can integrate Android with Windows or Linux, often with more freedom. You can use platform agnostic apps and services for your workflows. What Apple offers with continuity is great but not worth living with a machine that doesn’t work with your other needs.

Personally, I still have a Mac and iPhone, and I don’t really have the same issues as the author (I think palm rejection works fine, I think the touch bar is fine - and Apple’s most popular laptop doesn’t even have it) but you can be certain that when their time is up I’m not going to keep a closed mind to other options.
That's a good point. You do however have height, width, maybe skin tone, voice, etc.

This is why we need WASM and web-first development.

This is only going to make things worse. If everything is a web application, why would users even need access to their hardware or be able to modify their operating system? Boot from an locked bootloader that only loads a FAANG-signed shim OS, that only loads a FAANG-signed web browser. Next, disallow extensions and ad blockers and we are in the brave new web world were a small number companies more powerful than nation states continuously monitor your behavior for ad impressions.

Sure, now you can install a web browser on your Linux or BSD machine. But once they are in that position, they will make sure that it will be a miserable experience without necessary DRM, disabling or not investing in hardware acceleration, breaking random things on 'unsupported combinations', etc. Moreover, as usual on the web, any competitive player the becomes a threat will be bought by the increasingly large FAANG companies, ending their 'incredible journeys'.

Even though it will probably never happen, what we need is Linux on the desktop, with good native applications, plus a truly open mobile platform.
Taking away their toys would have a massive impact, don't concern troll that vital point away.
"First" does not mean "exclusively". But detection of an impending obstacle should not start with classifying that obstacle. You need only know that some geometry that looks larger than trivial is moving at a vector that will impeded your stopping distance requirement. Until that is proven to work, it is pointless to try to "understand" the object or its intent.

I'll go further. To avoid clearings, ponds, and pedestrians, Self-driving cars should be highway-daytime only until proven reliable. Starting with the edge cases and building back to the easy ones is ridiculous engineering policy.
Is the suggestion that undercover cops are roving the crowds to get identifiers from people's phones with such apps? I would think a Stinray or other SIGINT devices would yield a lot more (and more usefule) data.

Disease is also something that can block absorption which I feel a lot of people overlook. If you are vitamin D deficient, that may not be just because you don't get enough sun or need to take pills. This could be a sign of a kidney problem. If you are magnesium deficient, maybe it is a sign of a kidney problem. If you are B12 deficient, maybe it is a sign of a kidney problem.

If you have a normal diet and you have deficiencies, don't just look to supplements.

Do you have something specific in mind?
I don't think this is particularly newsworthy, nor that it reflects poorly on the Trump administration.

18 U.S. Code § 2101, the relevant law, clearly stipulates:

As used in this chapter, the term “to incite a riot”, or “to organize, promote, encourage, participate in, or carry on a riot”, includes, but is not limited to, urging or instigating other persons to riot, but shall not be deemed to mean the mere oral or written (1) advocacy of ideas or (2) expression of belief, not involving advocacy of any act or acts of violence or assertion of the rightness of, or the right to commit, any such act or acts.

They aren't barring your freedom of speech. This isn't some obscure twist of a law, this is the intended usage of that law. There are plenty of legitimate things to criticize about the response, but this isn't one of them.

It's also worth noting that this law is superceded by a state conviction/acquittal for rioting charges. You can't be charged under both state and federal law for it.
That's actually some easy math, isn't it?
You're taking about the assertion that the virus spread from an accidental contamination at a lab in Wuhan. It is crossing into conspiracy theory territory to believe the assertion without proof. However, the theory itself is completely reasonable and sound. This is an unproven claim; a conspiracy theory is something different.
The lawsuit is about 127 books which have a copyright registration, listed in the attachment:

> one can easily find 50000 people with 1TB of free space and a stable server+internet connection.

That's not how this works. There's currently no truly decentralized storage that could handle the IA workload. IPFS certainly doesn't cut it. People have tried. It didn't work.

Not to mention I'd take a single, stable, commercial Internet link over 50k consumer Internet links where you can't even tell if the other side is temporarily shut down, the network got partitioned/congested or the hard drive got wiped.
Are there any zero-cost options for code signing open source Windows apps that are free to use and will never generate revenue of any kind?
That's arguably backwards. See Breyer's article "The Uneasy Case for Copyright: A Study of Copyright in Books, Photocopies, and Computer Programs" [1], where he made the argument in 1970 that because copying was relatively slow and expensive, and most works made most of the money in a limited window after release, there really wasn't much need for long term copyright protection. By the time copiers could make and distribute copies there wouldn't be enough of the market left for them to get back their costs.

As copying technology becomes cheaper and faster the case for copyright gets stronger, at least if we are going to stick with the approach we currently use. That approach is based on the idea that a free market is an optimal way to determine the allocation of resources and we should use it whenever we can.

The mathematical economists can actually prove that is true in markets for goods that have certain properties. Copyright law (and patent law) artificially imbue certain intellectual works with those properties.

There are, of course, other systems we could use. One approach would be to treat these works as a public good. Have some tax funded government agency give out grants to authors and film makers and so on to make new works, and their output is public domain.

Some problems with that approach include determining the budget, and determining what works get funded. It's hard to see either of those not getting politicized out the wazoo.

Another possibility is similar, except you give out the grants after works are created. An author creates something, releases it to the public domain, and the agency determines how many people are actually reading/viewing/etc the work. Then pay the creator based on that.

Another approach is similar, but without taxes. Creators can be funded by charitable foundations, or by directly soliciting donations from the public.

I was between jobs this time last year, and started rooting around in my local town's salary publications. In the top 50 salaries for my mid-size MA town, about 50% were police (starting at places 2, 3, 4 and then like 8?), with the average salary (including overtime) at about 175k$.

There are also 54 people listed as working as "[XXX] police [XXX]", in a town of 41k.

For the record, there is an average of one violent crime a day in my town, and stats like 7 projected rapes in 2020 (0 murders).

Whether or not that's all justified, I leave as an exercise to the reader.
> green/long hair and a female voice acting like a leader, white and hoodies means you'd go with Antifa

IDK, your description could just as well be feminists, mermaids, gorgons, sirens, etc., infact it seems to go as far as to just be saying "any white person protesting with BLM is an Antifa".
Police scanning channels are a good way of gaining information about local political activity in your area.

I think at some point you'll feel the pressure to censor those feeds as a way to limit information about demonstrations that aren't approved by the ruling class.
Does that mean they're Sandboxed by default. I personally don't care if the package is MSIX, MSI, EXE, or whatever. I just want Sandboxed by default.

I really hate worrying what an App like Chrome is doing to my system and I'm reminded every time I launch it because all my Thunderbolt connected monitors black out for a second when it starts up.
Leaving riots and looting on the snapmap could be seen as first hand journalism, showing people what is really happening, or as giving a voice to those glorifying destruction.

Hiding or delaying riots and looting from the snapmap could be seen as censorship or keeping the peace, by preventing everyone from jumping to join in until its over.

An editorial delay to perceived live events, in the interest of public safety, in an interesting wrinkle in the debate between censorship vs fanning the fire.
Do you have any evidence that copyright on Windows has resulted in more wages for developers?
MSIX tries to be exactly that. It supports the gamut of Win32 so long as they can be minimally sandboxed. Win32 apps in MSIX still have access to everything and can't be entirely trusted, but the installer will warn you about that a lot less "scarily" than the SmartScreen Defender prompt this author doesn't like.

MSIX can be sideloaded by default in every supported version of Windows (in addition to or rather than Store installed) (supported versions of Windows include 7, 8, 8.1, and 10 after the Anniversary Update). MSIX support auto-updating even when sideloaded, all it takes is an HTTPS server with some simple manifests (for those that remember ClickOnce it is reminiscent but a lot easier/cleaner), or for Enterprises a file share will do.

The only caveat is that MSIX requires Code Signing Certificates for sideloading. (Note that makes Store install is a "cheaper" option with the $99/year and Microsoft handles the package signing for you as a part of the approval process.)

My biggest gripe with WinGet as a project (and no, the article is wrong it's not intended to replace the Store) is that it isn't doing way more to bootstrap MSIX packages instead of "downloading and running EXEs like always before".

There are tons of games in this "give a careful clue" category, if this is something you enjoy—I really like Codenames, Spyfall, and Deception: Murder in Hong Kong. The great thing is the learning curve for all of these games is virtually non-existent and they play fairly quickly, but it takes several playthroughs to get really good at them, and they are highly dependent on who you play with, so there is plenty of replay value.
It’s such an unfortunate name to use though!
The backup part is quite easy - generate a well-known file with 1kb of data and include it in your backups. After the backup completed, validate that you can restore the well-known file and compare the content of the original and the restored. Easy to automate if you run a well-customizable backup system.

Storytime: I did not check the restoration of my backups some time ago and had a faulty harddrive, so I needed to restore the backup. Backup was also as dumb as possible - essentially a tar and encrypting it with openssl. So I reinstalled the server, tried to decrypt it - got the error, that the key was wrong. Took me a good weekend to find out, that openssl changed the default hash algorithm between openssl 1.0 and 1.1. This would not have been catched with the proposed system, but now I really pin all default options in my scripts as well.
Hmm. I think it makes a lot of sense and never confused young me with a Commodore 64.

If you boot a Unix system with a shell like bash, you basically have a programmable console that serves as your interface for loading files and running programs, as well as a programming interface itself. The shell is effectively Unix's "Commodore Basic V2.0" ;)

As far as the magnesium citrate goes, I don't see any reasons to stop taking it either. There have been cases when I've forgotten to take it for a day or two and I can feel the difference in the morning after a heavier workout.

As for your hands, given that you are focusing on upper body workouts maybe one up your protein intake, see if that improves things. Unless you are a vegan, Icelandic yogurt(skyr) is a pretty solid solution(the unflavored kind). In terms of consistency, I'd say it's similar to Philadelphia cheese but almost tasteless. 1 yogurt a day (350g) made a dramatic improvement in my case. Not sure about the US(judging from the fact that you used miles), but you can find those in almost every grocery store in Europe at this point for around a euro.

> Define strongly. Am I willing to lose my job to be right on the internet? No. But I think it is a mistake to think that those voices lose strength when hidden. Quite the opposite.

This means you'll rant on message boards and complain to friends but to no action, because you have something to lose which is good. Make bad decisions, say/do dumb stuff, pay the consequences - we are being more equally protected. This has not always been the case.

> I am looking for a reasonable rationale. Frankly, I do not understand some of the decisions people make.

In trying to understand the decisions others make, you should first listen. Otherwise, I think what some give themselves credit for as "understanding" is really just judgement.

Worst case scenario, you continue posting, your identify is discovered and your opinions become public and have real world consequences which you'll blame on the subjects of your opinion.

This, as the country continues to diversify in both public and private life (more women in government and business, minorities becoming the majority, etc.) is a dying perspective and new ones are being formed. You should try one on to see if you like it.

With respect to amateur psychologist it is not my intention. It is difficult for me to understand how you think and feel during the conversation without asking questions. The fact that you see this as me playing amateur psychologist could be projection on your part.
