I thought Walmart’s interest in TikTok was about tracking demographics, user location and consumer tastes in China.
I love this because it's nostalgia for something that wasn't even a thing - music on floppy disks!

I like K&R but it's so incredibly dated that it would be like reading the HTML 2.0 spec (from '95) to understand web frontend development today. Wouldn't recommend it.
Very cool. Is subreddit import and identity attestation (who I am on Reddit is who I am on Lemmy) on the roadmap?
The level of competition in elite track is absolutely worlds beyond trailrunning. it isn't close. The total global pool of participants over the last 100+ years is the first clue.
At most, I would estimate creepiness to be rounding error. For each person who uses the internet, and Uber, and seriously worries about privacy, there are many many people who prefer the idea that the world revolves about them and who will see in Uber’s timely offer an affirmation of their own consumer savvy. Of the world bending to their most superficial convenience. Particularly since that’s the big idea of ubering.

It’s not called the “on demand economy” for nothing.
Oh my, this is (or was) the late great company that made the Opera browser. How the mighty have fallen... :-(

On gnome, if you open Gnome Tweak Tool there's a keyboard theme setting, select "Emacs" and all GTK applications will use Emacs keyboard shortcuts. (Including M-b M-f, which is a differnt combo on macOS).

It's propbably a dconf setting but I haven't checked which one. It tends to avoid running into issues on <input type="text" /> boxes in Firefox. But not more advanced things like Google Docs or embedded text editors. (eg Rust playground)
This has left me wanting to run tests to see what level of compression is required to not trigger Content ID on youtube.

Fair question - that's why I specifically called out Obama, and specifically referred to the left flank of Democrats (Bernie, Warren, AOC) who would back their rhetoric with some action. Warren, in particular, has demonstrated some good track record here with CFPB. I would certainly not expect anything from Biden, Schumer or Pelosi.
> Perhaps you are talking about naming functions for behaviors? Because I think it’s the same in most languages that “overridden” or “implementations” of functions for modules/classes that use some kind of interface must be named the same as the interface definition.

Yes. In typescript, you can have abstract classes or interfaces to implement which gives you more information (intellisense, visible errors, type information) and make the contract more explicit. I was trying out phoenix and I didn't get any hints about the methods to implement in the module. I was relying on documentation for that. If there was a way to say use @some_spec and get information about it in the editor. It would have helped out.

GPS became available to the public in May 2000, so it was brand new and past self might not be familiar with it.
I spent some time learning emacs, and I use it every time I'm in the terminal and need quick access to a file, or SSH into a machine, but there's no way I'll ever spend the time to make it my main editor. The learning curve is not steep, it's fixed to a "hard" mode: every new plugin you want to try, you'll have to figure out how to use and there'll be some time adaptation to learn new shortcuts.

While I don't see them dying, since editors in a terminal is still a thing, but I'm wondering if we're going to see alternatives popping up at some point, or perhaps VSCode will have a "ssh into this machine and open the file in the editor" flow at some point.

Realistically editors like VSCode and Sublime text are the future: easily extendable AND it's fast to try new plugins. If you don't remember a shortcut just cmd + P, fuzzy type what you want to do, remember the shortcut displayed next to the name for next time.
If you like that kind of thing (I do), then you may be interested in A Brief History of the Future, by Jacques Attali, first published in 2006.

Attali was an adviser to the French President and writes in the French obscurantist style, and most of the book is a history of the past, not the future. But...

Attali does talk about the issues of:

everything-as-a-service;

corporate surveillance and hyper-invasive employee behaviour control (think: FB, Goog, MS, your employer with keyloggers etc);

decreasing relevance / capability of leading nation states, especially the US (demonstrated by this little virus thingy);

interregional and inter-ideological conflict (China cyberhacking turned up to 11, climate refugees);

a turning against (crony) capitalism, which has failed for nearly everybody (by externalising costs, and shifting risks onto households). Extinction Rebellion is an early, embryonic example of this, I think.

And he was writing all that back in the early 2000s.
This was a really well-written post. I really liked the learn by doing approach accompanied by flow diagrams. It's easy to get lost in the weeks with OAAuth terminology and this really kept good focus. I also looked at some of the author's other posts on things Protobufs and Tries and found them similarly enjoyable. I look forward to reading future posts and hope you post them here as well.
This is great! Can I opt out of all badges or only "basic ones".

Of course it will be a decade before everyone updates to a version that supports this option and allows the user to enable it. In the meantime we'll have our time and attention wasted for years (T_T)

There's another, automatically getting spammed with emails and then having to manually opt-out. I get you want it to be frictionless but when signing up a opt-in checkbox for email would respect my time and scarce attention than opting me into daily emails and forced me to later opt-out.

And sorry to pick on Discourse. There's tons of other offenders but Discourse is one most people on HN have experience with. Steam/Xbox/Playstation all have the same issue. Wasted time and attention required for things I don't care about. The worst is the OS popping up achievement notifications right over the climax of some scene. That others care is fine. Just let me turn them off because "Attention is your scarcest resource".
I don’t like the “unbanked” basis for these anti cashless arguments because they’ll just solve that problem.

I'd be surprised if macbooks had any marketshare in public schools. They all seem to be favoring tablets or chromebooks since iPads are $329 (probably $300 or less for schools) and Chromebooks are <$300 each and integrate with GSuite, which is also free for schools.
I seem to recall the Windows 95 or 98 install floppies being 1.68MB each, but you could go further. If I remember right this involved either reducing redundancy in the FAT or increasing cluster size.

I think that's a reasonable distinction between the genres but the boundary can get a bit gray. Two examples:

Bones levels have been a staple of Roguelikes since Nethack, where you can find the area that one of your previous characters died. Usually this means a huge power boost if you can deal with the threat of your ghost and/or whatever killed you.

Angband is an ancient and classic Roguelike but it has a "monster memory" that accumulates the knowledge of the enemies you have fought, both in your current playthrough and all previous playthroughs. This represents a significant assistance as you progress through the game, both because the knowledge that "this beast has killed your ancestor" is a big caution sign, and also that you eventually "know" the stats of all the monsters.
It could be:

1) a journalist failing to capture the precise technical details

2) or this guy used commands that passed the password as an argument (for example "curl -u username:password" maybe svn has something similar?)
I apologize, because I literally don't know, but have you used any of these solutions at the scale where there might be billions or trillions of rows in a table/collection? I'm currently using Mongo at that scale and would love to evaluate some alternatives.

If it helps for context, we have accepted that ad-hoc queries are not possible, and we have our own solution for searching.

#2: JIT pages are not run through an online scan

#3: Sorry I meant use hosts to skip DNS resolution and just map them to 127.0.0.1 directly (assuming you aren't running an https server locally). The names are ocsp.apple.com and api.apple-cloudkit.com.

Clearly something was trying to resolve hostnames but it may not be related to GateKeeper malware scanning. TBH a tarpit DNS server is not a case I have personally thought about before but is interesting to consider!
As in Joe Biden's wife and children died in a car crash, and later one of his surviving sons died?

https://secretlab.co/collections/omega-series. I opted for the fabric cover to discourage my cats from chewing on it. :)
The "lite" is in terms of punishment. Death in a roguelike is usually "game over, better luck next time". Death in a roguelite still generally resets you to the beginning of the game, but there is a metagame progression between runs that means you aren't starting over from scratch.

With the delta-V map at the end of the article, it’s amazing to see how much closer Mars is than The Moon.

(“Closer”, while meaning nearer in distance, is also a planet surface word meaning “cheaper to get to”. The latter sense is the one used here, for frictionless robotic space travel.)
You go to all the trouble to be anonymous and then have a flippant response to a real way your efforts could be undone. I mean, you shouldn't go on the killing spree regardless.
Nothing has vested yet, nor will it until the company does an IPO. No IPO is planned. It's a 10 year old company, but only just raised its first round last year. In the old days, we were forced to survive on revenue generated from B2B sales, which was honestly not too bad.

My employee number is under 25, but it's still just pretend equity at this point.
I think that the dramatically increased speed and volume cannot be so simply dismissed, however. That’s like saying “what’s the big deal with jet planes? We’ve had boats and wagons since forever”.

Fact checking in particular is less effective since there is such an incentive to push out high volumes of information as quickly as possible. I take the example of writing a book for publication versus a tweet or blog post. The former requires a vetting process before it even starts, takes months if not years to complete, involves several phases of copy editing and technical review from multiple people, and finally there’s a published book at the end. The latter could be a single person banging on a phone keypad for a few minutes, or it could be a team who have extensively sourced over the course of months to produce a well thought out piece. The trouble is- you as a reader have no idea which is which!

I think that we have too much information. It overloads our brains, and so we fall back on our more primitive instincts to cope. That ends up with us simply confirming pre existing biases and giving in to fear and anger. It’s like the thesis in the book “paradox of choice” but applied to information rather than brands of jeans or mayonnaise.
Another useful concept of memory organization is what's called a "schema":

> A schema is any pattern of relationships among data stored in memory. It is any set of nodes and links between them in the spider web of memory that hang together so strongly that they can be retrieved and used more or less as a single unit. [1]

When thinking about something we naturally bring togheter plenty of related information, thus this "compression" described in the papper must somehow be capable of aggregating these relationships into the data as well prior to compressing it.

He was considered left-wing until he dared to report what he saw, refusing to censor it for the benefit of Antifa. That sounds like a reputable journalist to me.

You are trolling. Please cite sources if you are going to make claims like these. We don't have an accepted mortality rate for Covid-19 yet[1]:

Today I just received email that I wrote to myself 2 years ago from FutureMe in my inbox,...and I think I should write about this classic service(they operate since 2002!)

I use FutureMe as tool to reflect on my (past)thought, idea, worldview, etc. or to catch up on some topic that interest me(say, new upcoming product)

Its simplicity is what appeal to me. You just write what's in your head, sent it and just forget about it. Time flies and one day you'll get a little surprise in your inbox. It's surprisingly good tool for brain dump and to 'resurface' your old thought...

I don't know if there is any alternative that did that same, maybe just any email client nowadays with schedule sending will do, but I use their service for several years and still happy about it.

Maybe the point is not about the service, but the importance of periodically reflect on yourself and your thought...something that's become harder to do in today's world of neverending information.
I can't believe it's a good job: most of what I read in erlang is the OTP source. There are some real stinkers in there, in modules that barely anyone uses anymore (so there aren't any bug reports), like tftp (but when you need it you need it). And if you've ever tried chasing the ssl code, there's definitely some java-esque factory patterns hiding in there where one module or another drops an interface back to its caller, and the call stack weaves several times between two or three modules even.
> Wearing black and a mask? That could be anyone, including police provocateurs and right-wingers looking to pin the blame on protestors on the left.

It could be, and yet they chant "death to America," "down with fascism," etc. There have been scores arrested at this point. The facts tend to support Antifa with zero/few right-wing groups even nearby.

> Just for the record, I strongly condemn violence both on the right and on the left. I do this on ethical grounds, because I believe violence is wrong. But even on merely practical grounds, it's clear that those who encourage and engage in violence are playing right in to the hands of those who have the most guns, who think they have the support of the military and the police, and who are itching for violence to break out to use as an excuse to crack down hard or foment a civil war (which, of course, they think they'll win).

I 100% endorse this. I think the number of people on the right who want a civil war is extremely low (seems mostly confined to the actual Nazis who everyone hates). There are plenty who believe a civil war would be easy to win against Antifa-at-scale, but they don't realize the difficulty in organizing and coordinating actual operations when they'd be denied communications.

I'd even go so far as to say that these militia groups need to leave, even if they have a right to be where they are. The people like the Kenosha kid need to leave and not attend, even if asked. Yes, buildings will be destroyed, people will get hurt and lose their livelihoods and even their lives. That should rest on the consciences (or lack thereof) of the rioters and the political leaders who enable them. But if the right wing groups stayed the hell away, sooner or later, the leftist groups would burn everything down and go after one another. I still think that's a tragedy of meaninglessness, but at least most of the survivors would just go home back to mommy's basement and we could have peace. And then maybe we could actually get some real reform?

For moral, political, practical, and a host of others, everyone should stay the hell away from these things. It doesn't work out at all. But I think a lot of these people are basically very dedicated LARPers, on both sides. I haven't seen too many Army or Marine infantry with beer bellies hanging over their belts, but quite a few militia guys seem to. I've also never seen a successful revolution carried out by people who seem about as clueless about any sort of tactics beyond being an angry mob as the Antifa people. Angry mobs and beer belly dudes with guns can make some damage, but are no match for actual organized and trained military force.
Lithuania is an interesting case (I don't know much about the other Baltic states). I've been there at least twice a year for the last decade, and have helped organise one of the largest software conferences there for several of those. Several of my best friends (British and American expats) live in Vilnius and are married to Lithuanians.

My experience is anyone 30 or over speaks fluent Russian, but many of those will not admit to it - those in the 30-40 range are highly distrustful of anything Russian - and reasonably so given the history of the country. Anyone under 30 barely speaks Russian unless they themselves are immigrants from Russia.

I'd agree that in Lithuania a software engineering candidate that spoke Russian and not at least a "very good" standard of English or fluent Lithuanian would struggle to find work.
You then have to reveal those parts of your body unedited, though. And in sufficient detail to convince people that these new photos are the unedited ones.

If you really need to convince some small number of people that the pictures are fake, you can reveal yourself to them in private.

But I can't think of many scenarios in which either of these approaches leave you better off than just having real nudes made public in the first place.

Any recommendation for books/blogs/videos/code to learn about this ?
He ran the Pikes Peak marathon in 3:27min. The Pikes Peak Marathon course starts here at 6,300 feet, before climbing more than 7,700 feet to Pikes Peak’s summit at 14,115 feet. It then returns to the start. It is on trails (not great ones). It has switchbacks. Kipchoge's course had a total of 18m of elevation gain, and a net of around 5m...it was on roads with corners designed to not slow him down. Kilian's runs aren't just about speed or optimization they are also about significant skill. It's the tortoise and the hare...I don't know Kilian's outright best road marathon time, but I'll bet it would be extremely competitive but not world class. Eliad would win a road 50k (31mi) I'd bet, but I would put my money on Kilian for a head to head trail marathon or a moutnain race, or a 50miler.

As a point of comparison Jim Walmsley holds the outright record at the Western States 100, his pace was 8:30min/mi. He also holds the 50 mile world record at 4:50:08 (5:48min/mile). He ran the US olympic marathon trials this year...he finished 22nd with a 2:15:05 (5:10min/mi pace).

Funny enough, 2:15 seems to be a common marathon time for elite ultra and mountain runners [0]. Those last 15mins are HARD, the last 3min are beyond my comprehension as a person who prefers ultras and mountain races over the road marathon scene. But so is a marathon at altitude with 7,700 ft of climbing. So is a 50 miler at nearly marathon pace. Give them a road marathon, Eliad will crush the other two. A mountain course with tons of climbing and scrambles and choss, I'll pick Kilian. A reasonable but very long course (>50k), I'm going to pick Jim. They are just hard in very different ways. It's like comparing a rally car to formula one car to a le mans car...different optimizations.

I have yet to find a single home or civilian office building in the US I can't non destructively enter with cheap tools.

Often you don't even need tools.

Code entry boxes on most apartment complexes and office buildings (including very commonly police stations) tend to use keyed alike keys you can straight up buy on Amazon.

Most call boxes: 16120
Most police cruisers: 1284

To add insult to injury most buildings are required to have spare keys in a Knox Box on the side of the building every fireman has keys to.

They wont sell you keys but they will sell you a box you can measure the pins on to cut a key anyway.

Locks are pretty much entirely security theater in the USA.
