I think the problem is that not all programmers are motivated by successfully building things.

Lots of us are motivated by learning things, and some are motivated by investigating and solving problems when things don't go the way they supposed to.

If you pick a 'boring' technology, you have less of those two things, and you are stuck with boring process of developing one feature after the other with boring technology until sufficient number is developed and you can go do something more interesting.
Voting isn't a moral activity, this is a really, really strange proposition that I am not sure I can accept.

Don't morals factor into deciding what goals are beneficial to the population?

(I'm not even sure I agree with the proposition that voting pushes the governing apparatus this way in many democracies including the USA)
> How would a virus scan help here?

Usually that means that the IP you are connecting from got somehow flagged as an originator of malicious attacks. Like if the virus on your computer does automated requests (click fraud, scraping, DoS,...) to other IPs that are monitored by them.

Of course this is probably mostly useless especially if you are on a dynamic IP but that's where it's coming from.
As little as possible. I think there's an extent to which the trend for 'memory hacking' is a little harmful. The field of modern software is too broad to possibly remember much of it so it's better to learn how to find answers well and quickly than memorise things. I know about 4 common git commands by memory and everything else I know how to Google (DDG) the answer. Using a language with a good IDE also helps, your tools should assist you to build working things rather than tangling with parameter order trivia.

I guess it's that kind of topic where once you discuss it enough you reach consensus on a position that is neither particularly controversial nor insightful :)

I gather the people who've found my earlier comments disagreeable are assuming I'm advocating that people blindly persist at something for countless years, even if they see no signs of success, which of course I'm not.

My point assumes that by doing something with sufficient dedication for a sufficient amount of time, you'll learn the necessary skills, including learning how to learn, and learning how to gauge success, and learning when it's best to quit and try something else.

I actually don't think it's likely there's huge numbers of "zombie" YouTubers, slogging away for years with no success. Sure, plenty of stuff gets posted that gets very few views, but not by people who are serious about making a career of it. Career-focused people either see signs of success or realise they need to find a new career path.

As for the YC list, I know a lot about that list as my company is on it, as are several others run by people I know. There aren't many actual zombie companies on that list. There are companies that didn't become unicorns, but did become solid small-medium businesses that employ a decent number of people and provide important services to their customers, and will likely eventually be acquired for a decent return to the founders and investors. And there are others that have been abandoned, but provided valuable lessons to their founders, which helped equip them for greater success in the next stages of their career.

My opinions expressed above are from having spent 10+ years running and observing others running startups, and by seeing what persistence and long-term success look like.

I've never seen persistence work out badly for people, as long as they are adequately able to gauge their success along the way.

I get saddened at the thought that people with the potential to do great things might be discouraged from giving something a go because somebody else tells them "you know, for every successful person you see, there are 10 people who failed", when the truth is not nearly that simple or dismal.
This is a ridiculous and sad move. We are living in 1984 a bit more every day.

If the company jettisons 2% of its book value in a buyback, sell 2% of your shares. Practically speaking it isn't easy but there is no theoretical problem.

It might have changed, but there was a time when companies would have to be stark raving mad to return money as an income stream rather than a capital return. It made no sense after accounting for the tax code.
I'm getting the same issue. I also use CDN from cloudflare for my personal sites...and this is making me reconsider using it.

Giving cloudflare the benefit of the doubt, what could trip this is:

1) the site is getting higher than average visits (tripping the anti-DDoS flag for the CDN)

2) I went without javascript on, so they think I am just a bot.

EDIT: after giving it the benefit of the doubt, the captha didn't work for me at least 4 times. That is unacceptable.

I honestly can't see the censorship happening here; I can only see the book has been rejected for self-publishing on KDP and an author with a clear political agenda is using this thing, negligible per-se, to push it even further.

For example, on his twitter feed he writes in response to another user with the nickname "Libraries Aren't Neutral": "Do you think non-leftist patrons have a place on your library?".

This is to me the hallmark of a person in bad faith that is using a minor nuisance (just use another publisher!) to push ideas to a group of persons that will stop to first impressions and shout censorship.

The remark on "libraries not neutral = libraries leftist" is also terrible:

- even if a leftist librarian decides not to sell your book, you have all right-wing librarians that will sell you, so why the fuss?

- it creates the strange association "left = lockdown : right = freedom"; this ignores lots of things, like how Sweden, a social democracy often the target of attacks from this political side, had pretty good results with no lockdown; or how in many countries, after initial disagreements, both political parts convened on the necessity of the lockdown because the situation granted it, but they were also quick to raise it when possible.

The one thing I have no respect for is the fact that these persons screaming censorship ignore that serious debate around lockdown measures is effectively happening, far from their cospirationist pamphlets; it's a measure with an heavy toll on economics and physical an emotional well-being of the population, and everyone would hate to enforce it again; however, at least here in Italy, we have the feeling things would have gotten terribly dire were it not for the 2 months of lock-down; we had now 30 days of reopenings, with only a few cautions like using masks in closed spaces, and the situation seems mostly in control.

Of course it's only a feeling: at the moment nobody I know of has proof that the lockdown was the only way to stop contagion; but I can't avoid being extremely skeptical of the raising movement of people absolutely certain that lockdown is a no-go in every circumstance, because I have absolutely no idea how they got the data and the insight to come to this conclusion so quickly when many are still counting bodies.
But that's not what we've seen is it, China has worked hard to minimize the number deaths by going really hard on a heavy lockdown early, while the US with 1/4 the population has dithered and not really mobilized the resources of its state and has 24 times as many people die as China has.

I think it's more that modern China has been prepared to do everything it can to minimize death in this case and by doing a serious lockdown along with serious contact tracing they've come out early and are able to reopen their economy

Some countries in the West have done the same and are in a similar state. Others have fiddled why their countries have burned.
Even if nVidia's driver has a more lightweight abstraction compared to Intel's, and puts more stuff in userspace, that is not particularly relevant in my opinion: mdev only sits between host and guest driver and by design the host driver only emulates the bare minimum and multiplexes hardware resources instead. What happens in the guest between the driver and userspace does not matter to mdev.

All human beings are equal. There is no supreme arbiter of human argument. When you need to organize with fellow human beings, you then need to give people the benefit of a doubt after achieving certain qualifications to give orders according to their own arguments and views. On the other hand, when you achieve those qualifications, others will have to give you the benefit of a doubt to give orders according to your own arguments, views and values.
That is part of the analogy too, I chose it with some care.

And besides you'll have no trouble imagining a scenario where cancelling the travel wouldn't have helped.

EDIT - And if they did that then they'd arguably be spending 100% of their budget for holidays on holidays.

There are lots of cons and a few pros

It's best to think of Reddit as a giant grouping of millions of subreddits

Some very good
some good
Many terrible
some absolutely terrible

1) Use old.reddit.com

the new site is terrible

2) The more niche you go, the better the experience

3) Be prepared for the worst kind of idiots you can imagine. If you end up in a subreddit like that, get out ASAP

4) There are lots of very smart and helpful people. If you are interested in any topic, you will find something devoted to it

5) Be very careful time wise, it's a great time waster and you should avoid things that are negative and/or useless

I didn't say, "why arent you using a 50-year old paradigm". I am asking, why are you not literally using a software developed in 1970?

For example, are you using twm? xterm? Admittedly those are only 30 years old but I don't know any older examples that are still supported.

It is rather the other way around there: The situation is made dangerous by presence of the police, the solution is the police pulling back.

This is part of the reason modern software is often crap. It gets sanded down to only the most used features, screwing over anyone with a slightly niche use case in the process.

Coming from a democratic country with drafting... It gets tricky if your country is small and in a rather delicate geographical position with questionable neighbours.

Our constitution has a line saying that it's every citizen's duty to defend the country. Essentially drafting is education how to fulfil that duty. If we remove drafting, shall we remove that constitution article? If we remove it, then citizen-government relationship gets different. Is it "our" country and we take full ownership of it or do we just happen to live here and, if this establishment is threatened we just move on to the next one?
Like others have said reddit is most useful the smaller the subreddit is. I use:

/r/hardwareswap, /r/buildapcsales, and /r/homelabsales as an alternative to ebay

/r/selfhosted, /r/homelab, and /r/datahoarder for new project ideas

/r/sffpc, /r/mechinicalkeyboards, /r/watches for fun

/r/unixporn, /r/firefoxcss, and /r/pop_os for wasting time

/r/deepintoyoutube and /r/youtubehaiku are pretty fun too

I've seen all these posts about this system and it still seems way too over-explained for what it is.

Using Google keep with keywords at the end/start of the note, plus optional categories, seems to achieve the same thing.

Everything is searchable, so if I'm thinking about something, I'll just do a few searches by keyword and see if I saved something before.

No need for 2 pages of "how to use" :/
I am wondering, are you selective on what you take notes too or just take lots of notes? I.e. do you take lots of notes in meetings and every website/paper/book you are reading?
It's proprietary (and the full version is 9.99 a year IIRC), but I've found 1Blocker[1] to be very good on iOS/iPadOS. Admittedly I'd prefer a proper port of Firefox (with JIT), but I can't see that happening for a few years at least. iPadOS 14 is rumoured to include Xcode, so I'm hopeful that might herald a reduction in Apple's restrictions on third party applications.

> Maybe I (or someone) inspired by custom browser project like the OPs, will someday bundle FF with crucial add-ons for iOS and ship that through Github. It would probably need a dev account to install it in iOS/iPadOS, but it sure would be worth it.

If you're going to distribute it outside of the App Store, then the restrictions on JIT and third party addons wouldn't apply. You could conceivably have a full port of Firefox installed via AltStore (for non-jailbroken devices) or Cydia (for jailbroken ones).

What, no Emacs org-mode comment so far? (Only searched for "org" and "org-mode" in the comments, superficially.) I guess I'll go ahead then:

People have apparently implemented this workflow of note taking in their org-mode usage. Here are a few quick search results:

* https://forum.zettelkasten.de/discussion/100/zettels-and-org... (also mentions org-brain)
* https://www.reddit.com/r/Zettelkasten/comments/fq54g5/using_...

Org-mode is my go-to tool for any kind of notes or document, sometimes even for PDFs I want to make, via latex export and then latexmk. I find it more comfortable to use for literate programming than Jupyter notebooks too.

It's the 2nd inning and people keep writing articles assuming we're in the 7th inning stretch

Is there any tools out there that I can use to generate my own aggregated lists from a set of other blocklists?

Ideally it leverages things like GitHub Actions (or another CI tool) + GH Pages/GH releases/Netlify to relief the burden of having to host it myself.

The reason for this is so that I can use NetGuard, which allows for only 1 blocklist. Currently I'm flipping between Blokada and DNS66 because they allow for multiple lists.
In fact, Click to Chat links are not QR codes but URLs that are manually constructed from a phone number.

https://faq.whatsapp.com/general/chats/how-to-use-click-to-c...

Of course, you can generate a QR code from this URL using third-party tools, which I think is what's happening here.

Click to Chat's stated purpose is to allow you to chat to someone whose phone number you know, but you don't want to add them to your address book.

Clearly, some people are using it for a different purpose – to make it easier for other people to send them WhatsApp message.

Maybe WhatsApp should be clearer about the dangers of sharing a URL containing your phone number, but it seems like a useful feature when used for their intended purpose.
It is true that publishing the source code this early is risky, but submitting the code that has been already published is not prohibited by its own.

R/Unitedkingdom and ukpolitics are both dreadful. The dominant views are completely detached from the country as a whole. And as a bonus it’s depressing as hell to read.
-While I have no first-hand knowledge of the US military (or, for that matter, any military - I was conscripted into a branch which didn't take hierarchy too seriously), just about every time the subject of immoral/illegal orders came up, consensus was that the smart (for the individual) thing to do was to acknowledge the order, then do nothing.

The reasoning was that refusing an order would get you in serious trouble much faster than your claiming it was illegal would get you out of trouble - hence your best bet was to get hit with a (lesser) charge of incompetence rather than having the full weight of the army come crashing down on you for refusing.
Maybe stupid question, but who assures them that any private company will actually rise up to the task of building out a product set that conforms to the Gaia-X interoperability guidelines? Even if there might launch Partners that have committed to a certain set of services (or Euros spent), what would prevent them from ditching it once they realise that consumers still rather go with AWS? Or is this supposed to be for government institutions which are legally forced to pick a Gaia-X compliant cloud provider? Confused at this point.
I was expecting the tic-tac-toe to be written in machine code in an array, and printf would smash the stack to jump to it.
I also use the printed medium for final proofreading a lot. I feel a good 10 to 20 IQ points smarter when reading on paper, and catch a lot of mistakes and spot sections that need fixing. It's a lot of work, but for important writing, it is totally worth it.

For less important documents, the Mac-OS built-in text to speech is pretty good at catching typos and reading text to you. I highly recommend y'all try it out. It's a great too. Info about how to setup a keyboard shortcut here:

You mean statistics on the old interface? You do realize everyone is using the redesign by default, and the site continues to grow.

Considering that they've recently backported a redesign feature to the old interface, I assume the latter is fairly popular still.
Another major benefit of pen on paper is it's far less tiring, at least for me. I find staring at screens for extended periods utterly draining and often use paper for notes and code reading.

Major disadvantages - lack of relatively easy search, security, duplication, archiving, integration, accessibility to others, etc.

So it's a complementary tool for me, but the digital-only brigade are missing a useful, and - vital to some - dimension.
