The key missing choice is (3) Make it possible to tell the difference between the cables/devices.

Thats what everyone is complaining about, that there is no way to know without trial and error what combination of capabilities across (at a minimum) three different elements you're dealing with.

Make it so that we can tell the difference!
As per teh articel, they tried to do this with the thunderbolt standard on top of USB-C with a lighting bolt symbol, but even that doesn't mean you know what you're getting in practice.

USB3 for instance mandated blue plastic for connectors, so you could tell the difference from previous generations.

The thing with tiktok, it’s really easy for content creators to insert links to their websites, merch, other social medias into videos so it allows them to make some money from interested users.
it really does seem that anyone who offers a valid solution to the problem gets labeled a "Marxist" because of "Doing literally anything? Who's going to pay for it???" kneejerk hysteria.

That quote made me laugh hard.

To everyone around me, I keep advocating a simple principle: never use e-commerce sites for product discovery and evaluation.

Reviews are thoroughly gamed, and have been for many years now. That applies both to vendor-owned stores, where you can assume they're all heavily moderated or fake by default, as well as marketplaces like E-bay, where bribing customers to remove negative reviews or give better ratings is a standard business practice for sellers.

Product descriptions - those are always purposefully misleading. Hyping up the positives, hiding negatives, avoiding to provide useful metrics, and doing everything possible to prevent you from comparing between alternatives.

The best way I've found so far is to look for communities of people using a given product category, and read up opinions. Not review sites - these are, with few exceptions, just ads in sheep's clothing. But smaller, purpose-oriented communities are much harder to game thoroughly. So personally, unless the product category I'm exploring has a recent review on WireCutter (in which case I just buy one of their top picks; never been burned this way), the first thing I do is googling "<product category> site:reddit.com" and do my research there.

Its just wonderful that I am being downvoted for asking why the parent post was being downvoted. Great going mods.

Asking why isn't trolling and deserves a response. If you don't want to respond it is fine, but downvoting? really? It implies that you (the mods) think you are beyond any questioning from the hoi polloi.
I'm guessing you meant a CPC 6128 ? There are some really fun games for that machine but it's just at the edge of useful for a bunch more things, it has a real disk drive, but the disks are expensive and capacity is low. It's technically just about capable of using a hard disk, but that's crazy expensive. It can run a real operating system (CP/M) but not very well because it needs a hard disk you don't have or constant disk swapping. Or like many 8-bit home computers it boots into a BASIC environment that has a bunch of clever tricks but ultimately dead ends.

The 128kbytes of RAM are bank switched, so it's better than a 64kbyte machine but not as much better as you'd hope.

On the family VIC-20 I basically reached the limits of what was practical to do with it. I ran out of RAM, my programs became too slow and unwieldy to use. I never got there with the CPC 6128 but I could certainly feel where the limits were, closer than you'd like, and it often caused me not to set off in a particular direction knowing I'd soon run into a wall anyway. I wrote some simple assembly language but never tried to run a real high level language (other than the built-in BASIC).

Whereas on my 486sx25 and subsequent machines it was only ever a matter of time and money, so that was always on me.
We need different words, really. You're describing a starvation or calorie reduction fast. More common, and what I practice, is more like a time-shift fast. For example, I exercise in the morning before eating breakfast. This is a fasted state. It trains your body to use fat as fuel. The eventual result of doing this is greater stability in your mood & mind. Your body doesn't crave carbs so much anymore, and you feel good whether or not you've eaten recently.

Your brain runs on carbs. The easiest source of carbs is carb rich food. This is why hangry people seem to want nothing but cookies & candy IMO. But your body can only hold a limited amount of free carbs at any time. Meanwhile, your liver can convert fat to carbs to feed your brain, and your body can hold a virtually unlimited amount of fat. This pathway is more difficult, so you have to train your body to use it.

So I don't think it makes you smarter or more energetic. But it does make you more stable & help avoid the crash.
The countrywide logistics-heavy solution provides actual benefits to residents with cleaner cities and rivers.

> That header file is amazing. Thank you for the pointer to that.

Yeah, it's an awesome header! It comes straight from the kernel developers too. They use it for their own tools, apparently. It might be missing some of the newer or niche system calls but it has generic mechanisms which can be used to access everything.

I found it during my research for my own Linux system calls library project:

https://github.com/matheusmoreira/liblinux

There's some additional details implemented by my project such as process start up functions which handle argument, environment and auxiliary vectors. I don't see the need to maintain it anymore though since nolibc.h is so amazing and practical.

bulletin referenced: https://us-cert.cisa.gov/ncas/alerts/aa20-258a
> What about strategies that involve blowing up the bridge

The article rules those out by presenting scenarios in which there is always some advantage to trade. In any such scenario, neither party has any incentive to blow up the bridge, since there is always some way for each party to improve their situation by using the bridge to trade, compared to what their situation would be if the bridge did not exist.

In the real world, there are cases where there is no advantage to trade, usually because one or more of the "complexities" described in section III of the article applies. The obvious one, of course, is "there might be more than two people"--in the real world, there are always more than two parties with whom potential trades can be made (this is true even if we consider the "parties" to be nations instead of individuals), and as the article notes, in that case there can be scenarios where at least one party will gain nothing from trade.

Schools seem so fundamental to creating the fabric of society, to me. To have a school system under the contractual obligations of a company, whos common primary incentive is wholly financial, seems like a good way to weaken the mechanisms that produce a good, happy society.

Free software does indeed seem like a good thing to require in our society-cornerstone systems: schools, hospitals, government systems etc.

Sounds like they are making the same mistake as Instagram is making: Trying to copy TikTok into their existing app.

It is really a different media and they will end up annoying their existing users, making their app overly complex, canibalising their advertisement etc. etc.

A major problem isn’t at the user level but the admin level. Cloud SaaS means someone else installs and maintains the backend. Many school districts do not have the in house talent to do this, or what talent they do have is too busy putting out fires.

Administrating systems is generally hell. They have to be kept updated, secured, etc. The rise of closed SaaS is in part to free people from the curse of IT and system administration.

Can we make IT and admin easier? Yes, but nobody has done the work and it isn’t likely anyone will since there is no economic model.

> occasional Catholic Church scandal

"It was found that from 1990 to mid-2018, abuse reports about 382 priests were made to the Church, with 625 children, mostly under 16, sexually abused by members of the Catholic clergy"

And that's just one country, Poland [0].

1,000 identifiable victims ... just in Pennsylvania [1].

So "occasional" is not the qualifier I would use. Maybe "pervasive" is more accurate?

But none of this explains why this is a central topic of right-wing conspiracy thinking. The Catholic Church in the US is almost exactly as politically polarized as the population in general [2].

There are probably quite a few fingerprinting surfaces you could pull out of CSS. For example (these are educated guesses):

* Track what fonts a user has installed by asking for preinstalled fonts and using loaded fonts as a fallback

* Track screen width and height by conditionally loading an image

* Track screen height vs window height (linked to OS and various user settings)
"Who invented <X>?" is an almost meaningless question. Edison and Swan bear the primary responsibility for producing practical and economical lightbulbs and the electricity distribution systems required for them. But both men were undeniably standing on the shoulders of giants.

The same is true for almost any invention. Most successful inventions aren't created by geniuses out of whole cloth. Rather, inventions are often re-combinations of a variety of pre-existing innovations in a novel way that are practical and efficient. We should give praise to the people who made the litany of small contributions and improvements before the invention, but also recognize that the credited inventor(s) usually made a contribution that was more than the sum of the components.

To use a different example less culturally connected to our time, the ideas of differentiation and integration (they weren't necessarily called this) were fairly well-known before Newton and Leibniz. Those two independently recombined the existing knowledge into a simpler formulation (the fundamental theorems or calculus) and thus get the credit. They made these two concepts highly useful. Yet neither of them could have done his work without thousands of mathematicians who made small mathematical discoveries or inventions in the millennia before them.

Or in another example, Jim Keller recently said that "Moore's Law" is not a result of one set of principles applied repeatedly over the decades, but a result of probably hundreds of individual innovations.[1]

I personally think we should credit teams of people, but perhaps list the inventor who was most successful at producing the technology economically at scale with primary credit.

Lumber mills used to separate sawing and milling, so the roughsawn 2"x4" might have been about that (+-5 mm or so), but if you mill that square and (relatively) flat you're loosing a bunch of material. The milled lumber probably still got called 2"x4" since it was made from that. And then things shifted to milled lumber only, and the dimension change stuck.

...and technologies, including mass propaganda, have extended their reach and scale. They didn’t have trains delivering millions to gas chambers in Athens, helmed by people listening to Hitler’s speeches on the radio.

Saying “x has always existed” is different from the scale at which x is present. That is, in fact, one way that we measure progress. Inarguably, we will never be able to stamp out our baser instincts and behavior, but we should strive to reduce their presence and impact.
Somebody else will need to fill in details, but I do recall reading there's a general argument that if your proof-of-work compute provides something else of value as a side effect (e.g. "quantum chemistry simulations"), it stops being a good proof-of-work scheme.

I can also imagine that anything non-random is vulnerable to a discovery of a more efficient method of computing the same thing, and the first person to exploit such a method could take over the chain.
it doesn't really seem like an important question anyway. suppose 150 is a large enough population to allow for humans to reproduce naturally without introducing too many genetic defects. it's a cool fact, but 150 is not nearly enough to have people that specialize in all the skills needed to support modern life.

a more interesting question might be how many humans are necessary for some target rate of quality of life improvements (and how does that rate respond to increasing/decreasing the population). this is probably more of a political/economic question though.

Bootstrap UI Components Recommendation
I am a web developer specialized in frond-end development. Over the years, I have been using several bootstrap themes as I found them easier to work with and customize. But recently I have started to dig deeper into Tailwind CSS and I was pleasantly surprised by the capabilities offered by their utility classes. I have also seen Tailwind UI and I liked how everything is put together.As I have used Bootstrap for the past several years, does anyone has any recommendations of a similar tool?

Just the kick/low-end drum beats, or all of the rhythm (only leaving the melody)? Just curious. Sometimes I listen to relaxing music or videos on headphones when I can't sleep and I use the EQ on my phone to cut low frequencies.

Other side effect was the Inves ZX Spectrum+ and the ZX Spectrum 128K . On this case, the computer had really 128KiB, a Spanish keyboard and translated ROM.

From : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZX_Spectrum#spectrum128

"In 1985, Sinclair developed the ZX Spectrum 128 (code-named Derby) in conjunction with their Spanish distributor Investrónica (a subsidiary of El Corte Inglés department store group).[28] Investrónica had helped adapt the ZX Spectrum+ to the Spanish market after the Spanish government introduced a special tax on all computers with 64 KB RAM or less,[29] and a law which obliged all computers sold in Spain to support the Spanish alphabet and show messages in Spanish."
We’re in the Willamette valley and originally the smoke was supposed to let up last Thursday. That quickly passed and then it was Saturday night. Instead, we got dense, stagnant fog and continued off-the-charts air quality index numbers. But all the while, talk of how the rain was coming today. Well, not looking like rain today.

This has been a slog. Yet only a few towns over, there has been utter devastation from the fires. So we’re incredibly fortunate.

The headaches and scratchy throat have been pretty non-stop but mainly it’s the kids that have me concerned — the indoor air quality isn’t great, but have doing my best to keep the air from getting too bad. (Furnace filter / air purifier / taping the windows / etc).
