According to the build script https://github.com/hediet/vscode-debug-visualizer/blob/maste... it'd be

yarn run package

and then

Oh, but the details in this case are absolutely fascinating! Well worth all the words IMHO.
Or they need to use whatever a partner or customer is using. I don't use Zoom much (and it isn't one of our standard tools). But one organization I have standing meetings with and others I interact with now and then do use Zoom. It's often not about what mindless managers (or engineers) "want" to use.

Hopefully Epic Games with their antitrust lawsuits against Google and Apple will succeed and we'll see some positive changes.

For now, the best everyone can do is to promote F-Droid. Many users never heard about YouTube without ads, so getting NewPipe might be a good motivation to try F-Droid.

I respectfully disagree. If you look at the history of CD Projekt red they tend to do a great job of translating a source story and world into a compelling video game setting and story. Witcher 3 was critically acclaimed for a reason.

As I was made aware of today Cyberpunk 2077 is being adapted from source material that is a tabletop RPG that's been around for like 30 years. With that thought in mind I expect the story to be much less vacant and more adult focused with compelling narrative.

I think your suggestion is off the mark for this work knowing who is producing it. That said only time will tell.
It still seems, at least based on anecdata and a hunch, that decode acceleration through VA-API works more often in VLC than in Firefox.

VLC on Linux systematically hardware decodes H.264 on my aging integrated GPU, but I haven't got it to work on Firefox ever.

(Most web video nowadays is probably VP9 or something, which my GPU doesn't decode, unless you coerce YouTube et al. to serve H.264 using a browser extension, but that's another story; even if I do that, it still doesn't get decoded in hardware.)

I'm sure the browser developers have reasons for being conservative about enabling VA-API acceleration, ranging from possible issue with their codebase to buggy drivers, but it does seem like there are way more problems than e.g. in VLC.
>>The rationale [Google] gave is that hate speech appears on these apps

>The only way they can define and enforce "hate speech" policies is by torturing the language, the definitions, and hoping no one looks closely at the resulting policies

The rest of your comment is about the first amendment to the US constitution, which constrains governments (US Federal and state governments), not private parties such as Google.

Google would be well within its rights in the US to ban all hate speech from all the platforms it owns.

More orgs need to leverage keycloak more. I know java give some people shivers here, but it's an excellent setup to help accelerate your authentication needs, especially in the B2B space.

I'm not big on microservices unless your org is scaled people wise and need to decouple your team, but I'm happy to outsource to Keycloak as an auth focused service.

Cool integration in the k8's space.

>In case anyone tries to claim that the founders intended for the most expansive possible understanding of freedom of speech, the fact is that one of the earliest laws passed in the United States was a law that censored criticisms of the Federal government (in an attempt to crack down on foreign misinformation campaigns):

I'm not sure whether that proves your point. The wikipedia article says that it was controversial, caused the federalist party to lose the following election, and ultimately expired after 4 years.

Good thought for modern software.
Would you say the same if the user was compiling software or rendering video?if your computer fan is interfering with audio, that's an audio setup problem not a software problem.

You really need to look at this in cashflow terms, not paper losses. Amazon and Palantir are not equivalent at all.
That interpretation is entirely too generous. That expression "Silence is Violence" is explicitly intended to compel speech and its clear meaning is that if you don't, you are contributing to the violence against minorities.

https://twitter.com/KunkleFredrick/status/129834428507983872...

This is not an extreme example. The expression has always been used (at least in the current climate) to mean, you agree with us, verbally and visibly and loudly, or we attack you.

Edit: If you think the above example is not an example of what "silence is violence" means, by all means, explain why rather than just flyby downvoting.

If you ever figure out why people do this or what their thinking is, let me know, but yeah this actually happens. I have a common name but a long and uncommon surname, and I have name.surname@gmail.com.

This GP from New Zealand signs up for EVERYTHING under my gmail account. A handful of it spam, but mostly important stuff - notifications for financial transactions make up most of the mails I receive.

I really cannot figure out why he does it.
On May 5th, 2020 when the world was on lockdown, I began reaching out for some COVID-19 stories to see how people were doing. What I once I began was the vast amount of women I had access to around the world. Utilizing Fiverr, Facebook Groups, and Instagram, the project quickly evolved from COVID-19 stories into an in-depth look at the lives and stories of women from around the world. Over 200 countries, islands, and territories. 524 women. Just what might women from every country on planet Earth have to say to the world? What are their daily lives like and what advice might they have for the world? Through online conversations and live interviews, my team and I collected their stories until August 28th and have turned it into a book. These women are the gamechangers, the rebels, the ones who could no longer remain silent. They show the true resilience, the strength, and the power of women throughout the world. I hope you enjoy this amazing project as much as I did.
Aren't there distortions the further north/south you go? At the limit, a 90 degree angle with the corner at the pole would map to a half box shape. I'm having problem visualizing what happens right before the limit though.
While I think this project and the data are interesting, one thing that becomes problematic is that you actually DO have to invest time in whatever courses you register for at most colleges and universities (or at least the ones that I've seen).

Generally, if you aren't making adequate progress in a course, you can be dropped by the instructor mid-semester/quarter or placed on academic probation, both of which can cause you to fall below the minimum number of credits needed to be eligible for healthcare coverage.

So while you may save some money on health insurance, you lose a potentially large amount of time due to having to keep up with coursework to maintain eligibility.

That being said, this may not be a problem if they are courses you are actually interested in and can dedicate time to completing.
Lots of places don't like the + in their email address validation logic.

The dots are probably more reliable, but are not as flexible. The best you could do is a secret code for yourself.
I built a spreadsheet showing how many credits you have to take at a school to qualify for their health insurance plan. In many states, the cost of taking the class + health insurance costs is actually lower than monthly premiums for a plan within the state.

No, there's a set of statutes that lay out what murder looks like, and ultimately it is up to a jury of your peers to determine if what you did satisfies the criterion. That's in fact exactly why the jury system was invented, because reasonable people can disagree, so the assumption becomes that "if a reasonable plurality of people DO agree, there's a good chance it is a good enough standard by which to act."

The subject of murder is not an appropriate analogy here, really.
It matters here in the sense that to show the poles, you need to stretch the Mercator map to infinity, because the function sec(x) is undefined at 90 degrees. This is clearly absurd, so map makers get around the problem by cutting the top of the map off, usually around the 85 degrees parallel. I chose not to include this detail in the article.

To slightly misquote the great Richard Feynman, "It turns out that it's possible to sweep the infinities under the rug by a certain crude skill." :)

In the ideal world this loophole would be made irrelevant by universal healthcare.

Realistically the minimum credit hour requirements might be increased at some schools, but otherwise if you take advantage of this system you're pretty much using the system as designed.

Insurers already account for the fact that healthy and insured students are less likely to opt-in for their student health plans.
I think this math is off, as it assumes a single semester lasts a full year. For a full year you would need to pay for multiple semesters of tuition, probably 3 at most universities to cover the summer.
Chess went through a similar transition in the last 10-20 years when computers became much stronger than the best human. Some of her points are valid, some of them are temporary.

1. Professional gameplay changes a lot.

There are no more secret openings/midgames/endgames, you will hardly be able to cheese a top pro (not that it was easy before).
Professional gameplay requires memorizing tons of lines and then adding on to add it. There are many chess openings which require memorization till the end result (50 moves) or you risk losing the game. We are going to see a similar trend of memorization in Go.

2. Online casual gameplay changes a lot.

There are lot of cheaters in online forums. Cheat detection has to be built in to the sites or you risk being taken over by cheaters.
Easy availability to best moves allows the dedicated player to learn a lot faster than previously where there was a discoverability issue. We see this in the professional chess world where its not uncommon to see 14-16 yr old GMs nowadays.

3. Professional teaching still survives.

Engine can tell you the best move but it doesn't give you a teaching path from beginner to amateur professional to grand master. I am not a master but based on anecdotal evidence people still employ coaches but for much more focussed tasks and more specialized skills (e.g. openings, midgames, endgames).
I wonder how many of those schools would kick you out for never showing up and failing all your courses every quarter.

Maybe you could filter this list for those schools.

Or perhaps you could subcontract our your schooling online and just pay people to do the minimum required to get a passing grade. :-)
Not as a percentage, which I'm sure you're aware of.

Bitcoin could be financially quite useful because of the liquidity and fixed supply. A single global currency that can't be manipulated or inflated would be wonderful. It would give us a way to store wealth that isn't the securities market [or art or land], which would make the securities market [and art and land] much more rational.

If bitcoin gets there, of course, it's many years away.

Of course you are right that Chainalysis isn't ruining bitcoin per se. It was intentional hyperbole on my part.
YouTube etc. don't have DRM in the video they serve, as far as I know.

Hardware accelerated decoding of DRM'ed video is a completely different story, and the only browser I have seen do that on my machine even on Windows 10 is MS Edge. But there's a lot of non-DRM'ed video on the web, and getting it decoded in hardware on Linux isn't a given either.

Well... I mean really I was not trying to say Gab was innocent. I really didn't know until others provided some helpful context. I was speaking more to the original topic of this HN submission.

I never know how to handle topic shifts in the conversation trees in Reddit, Hacker News, and others.

Do you speak only to the comment you're responding to? Do you speak as if that comment is in the context of the submission? Do you keep the context as on topic as possible? Do you indicate which one of the three you're doing when you start your comment off? I feel like this is an internet rule I have not sussed out on my own. And I can see its caused some trouble for others. Sorry.
Yes. They should have gone with something simple and declarative, like decision tables.[1] Those have a finite number of cases and can be exhaustively tested. Which is what you want for a smart contract for something real.

But no, they had to make it Turing-complete. That failed quickly. Remember the DAO debacle. That should have been a teaching moment. But no. Because the people burned were insiders, the whole Etherium blockchain was split to rescue them.

wow 10 million, thanks I missed that from aug 25th!
Same. It always just works, no matter where you are or what you’re connecting to.
> People agree to very sensible things. Like hate speech is bad and it’s not censorship if it’s not mandated by the government.

We have two things to unpack here. First, hate speech. What is it? Who gets to decide what the word means and what is their procedure for deciding? Is the definition stable or fluid (or even very fluid)? Is hate speech universally wrong, or only wrong when issuing forth from certain speakers? If we all agree that it's wrong, then why are people engaging in it, even unintentionally?

Second, censorship. Is self-censorship not censorship? Why must the state be involved in order to censor? We're TV networks that for decades voluntarily forbade their programming from portraying homosexuals being censored or not? What is unique about state authority versus corporate authority as it relates to censorship?

"Hate speech is bad" is a very abstract statement. The sentence conveys almost no actual concrete meaning. It seems like a rational or sensible statement, but it delegates almost all of the actual work to feelings and emotions, and highly subjective ones at that. I don't find "wanna grab a cup of coffee" terribly hateful, but apparently some people do.

I get the overall sentiment of your post, and I think I mostly agree. Nevertheless, the way we stop this nonsense is to say at the beginning that it is an abstraction over extremely subjective feelings and emotion, and thus has no basis other than eventual mob rule authoritarianism.
I'd estimate that this is at least 15-20 years away, shortly before or after we have fleets of autonomous vehicles
Indeed. A guy named Hans Rosling did a Ted talk about 10 years ago arguing that the washing machine had one of the biggest impacts of any invention from the Industrial Revolution. It's worth looking up if you have 10 minutes to burn, he makes a good case.
In the context of expectations, journalism uses critique. It's plain, simple, and neutral, if not objective.

On the other hand, slam and destroy are judgemental. They're inflammatory hyperbole that shamelessly intended to bias the reader. That is, these are not words journalists use as BF does.

I'm not suggesting BF is wrong. We all know what their biz model is, as well as the tactics they use to achieve those end. What it is, it is. It's simply not jouralism.

You're misinterpreting the facts. Black people are more likely to be killed by police - they're not more in number because they're only 13% of the population [1]. The problem is the power of police unions and qualified immunity which is a legal construct made to be abused.

I guess you have to actually try to pass the class as well, right? Otherwise you trash your academic record and/or jeopardize your ability to do this again next year.

That not only requires your time, it might also require you to spend money on textbooks, etc.

Although maybe not if there are schools that let you drop all your classes but stay eligible for health insurance for the rest of the term.
If you don't show up to class then technically you won't qualify for a lot of these plans.

In the policy they require in-person classes.

How that's going to work this year with online-only classes is an open question.
