I ended up implementing my own background process management for fish here, it uses bash to fork a subshell with fish inside of it, which seems to solve all the problems I encountered.

https://github.com/pirate/fish-functions/blob/master/backgro...

https://github.com/pirate/fish-functions/blob/master/progres...

https://github.com/pirate/fish-functions/blob/master/signal....

https://github.com/pirate/fish-functions/blob/master/fork

Usage:

background progress_await compiling_task_finished

g++ ... some slow command

signal compiling_task_finished

This allows the progress bar to truly run at the same time as the g++ command and receive a signal from the fg process when it's time to complete, something a simple & does not let you do in fish.

I've collected more details on Fish's issues here for anyone interested:

Talking about competitors only makes sense in narrow circumstances. The fact is, a lot of people who find you don't know who your competitors are, and it's better to keep things that way! Let them Google for alternatives -- half they time they won't find any, and if they do, when they see that other page, they don't know how legitimate that other company is -- yours is already the "standard" in their mind. The others are implicitly on the defensive and it's better not to legitimize them on your own page.
I implemented such a feature and thought it was a good thing as we don't want to send marketing emails to those who aren't interested.

People will also enter in junk email addresses so it is to clear them out to keep your list clean.

Those who are interested in the email content and still have images turned off are rare in practice. Even then, I also checked for email clicks and logins for some redundancy.
I don't think you quite understand.

The person you are responding to basically quoted the definition of a monopoly, as according to the opinions of the US government.

If changing prices does not change demand for your product, then by definition, according to the US government, you have significant market power (IE, you have a monopoly. The definition of a monopoly is merely having significant market power, according to anti-trust law)

That is the definition that judges and the government use for market power.
Let's say that you can use these services while building your backend using a BaaS from the BaaS solution itself natively, would this solve your problem?
For many types of diet that focus not directly on calories but on the selection, timing or form of eating, the intent that you do not eat the same amount of calories, but rather that eating a "natural amount" according to your appetite within the "new habits" will result in you eating less calories without explicitly measuring and limiting these calories.

I agree with the OP and you. They are not mutually exclusive views. Perhaps the solution is privacy that protects you for data aggregators and “joiners” that pull together a ton of stuff to infer things about you, but not necessarily completely shield your identity online.

Hard problem for sure, and curious to hear how others think about the issue of minimizing trolling while maximizing privacy.
It's not, if you boil them and then throw out the water. That's one of the worst ways to cook vegetables. Most people steam their veggies to get the full nutritional value, unless they're making a soup or something, where they'll be keeping and using the broth.

Besides, like I said, that's just one example.
All I want is for NVENC to work on MacOS. If I’m reading this correctly, we remain shit out if luck.

My laptop comes with a beefy GPU (top line 16” mbp) and OBS can’t use any of it. Even the on-board Intel GPU is wonky
In many ways it's even more of a shame what happened to the web.
Beefbrain is real, and you'll never convince me otherwise.
> As a result IETF standards are only proposed and that is as you say "the end of the road".

Not really, after PROPOSED STANDARD there's INTERNET STANDARD, the STD series. For instance, IPv4/ICMPv4 (RFC 791/792) is STD 5, UDP (RFC 768) is STD 6, TCP (RFC 793) is STD 7, DNS is STD 13, and so on (STD 1 has the full list).

However, an IETF standard only reaches that level after it's been in use for a while; according to RFC 2026 (BCP 9), "A specification for which significant implementation and successful operational experience has been obtained may be elevated to the Internet Standard level. An Internet Standard (which may simply be referred to as a Standard) is characterized by a high degree of technical maturity and by a generally held belief that the specified protocol or service provides significant benefit to the Internet community."
> I'd argue most of us are fed up with apple.

If this was true people would stop buying the devices.
Yes, people click through boilerplate without reading it. Yes, lawyers are lawyers (and I say that as a lawyer myself). Story at 11.

Anyway that's why I stressed informed consent. Do you think 10% of the subscribers have read any of that and understand the tracking you're doing? How about even 1%?
What do we do when hundreds or thousands of those voices are actually bots controlled by one or two people, but they pose as real people online.

One could argue this is one or two people expressing their freedom of speech, and using technology to do so, but another might argue that since it's not a genuine sentiment of real people in each instance, it might not be called free speech.

I think introducing the fact that online, you can't punch someone in the face and face the consequences is meaningful. I don't advocate violence, but I mean there is no way to know you are engaging with genuine people who are willing to participate in the speech.

I don't have as solution either, a bunch of ideas, and no reason to execute them, and it's also a nightmarish hellscape that I don't really want to wade into :)
Yeah, good money-saving tricks are the ones where you only spend a lot of time thinking once, and that helps you switch from one type of auto-pilot to another type of auto-pilot. If you have to think every time, then you pay with your time, and you quickly run out of available time.

For example, if you notice that X is equivalent to Y and costs less, it may take some time to notice, but afterwards buying Y is just as simple as buying X, once you develop the new habit. Or if there are two shops in the same distance, and you spend some time researching which one sells more cheaply the stuff you usually buy. (Or a more distant shop, that is so much cheaper that you can afford to pay for having the stuff delivered to your home, and still save money.)
Can't take this article seriously after that ridiculous comparison. There haven't been many more deaths, year-over-year, than any other year in America with a deadly flu season. Perhaps it is collapsing, as the disease care, food, and pharmaceutical industries continue to kill people before their time, but not like a Civil War.
There's really no such thing. You might be using pure functions from your perspective, but someone is handling all that backing layer data and mutable information.
One way to handle this is to get a privacy-oriented DNS service like NextDNS[1] which can block ads and trackers. Then put that in your TV's networks settings. My Samsung smart TV tries to send out a lot of these requests back to the mothership: https://i.imgur.com/wCMrI3B.png but the service blocks them.

If Apple chose to match the existing industry standard percentage but has not fixed any prices, is that price-fixing?
Some people make a living broadcasting livestreams exclusively from consoles. I think that counts as "media creation."
Headsets with boom microphones (specifically) capture virtually no ambient noise because the gain on the microphone is extremely low (the relative volume of your voice picked up 1 inch from your mouth is much higher than that of anything else at the same location).

I can vacuum my house while on my bluetooth headset and people won't hear it on the other end.
This is coming from an outside perspective, and I'm quite prepared to be badly wrong.

I think the Rust language needs to learn a few tricks from Objective C and Swift to really make this possible. In particular the work being done on extensible protocols.

What you can do, is build a 'Rust-flavored' GUI library. But this isn't what users want: they want a native app, while developers want to write once-run anywhere.

This requires a kind of double decoupling, where UI intent is expressed as an abstraction, and is realized as an OS-native control — but one which itself will dynamically update, insofar as possible, as the OS evolves.

This calls for a kind of API wizardry which Objective C always got right, and C++ never really did. I see that dichotomy extending into Swift and Rust, but it isn't inevitable, Rust hasn't painted itself into that particular corner.

Anyway, it's encouraging to see this work happening, I wish you good fortune in 2021 and beyond.
One of the things that really bug me out about fish shell is how it completes history. If you type the beginning of a command, you can use the arrows to cycle through all matching history items. All items BUT THE LAST ONE. That one you have to complete with ctrl-f.

And the worst thing is, this behavior is completely intentionally [0]. For some time I used a patched version of fish, but it was just too inconvenient and I went back to zsh.

It's not even that, the author seems to be concerned about the fact that the title is being used as replicated metadata. There's no "compute" other than some additional HTML involved.

It would probably be more work and more brittle to have to refer to some authoritative "title" string somewhere in the HTML rather than keeping it close to where it's needed, because additional HTML attributes are cheaper than JS doing DOM lookups.
Beryllium has long been known to be problematic for fusion reactor walls, to be used sparingly if at all. Even lead (!) may have resource issues for widespread use of fusion.

I'd say that the most accurate representation is that of what the official government website is saying.
React isn't the one doing the actual drawing.
“A U.N. panel probed the last phase of the war [and] has estimated that around 40,000 died while other independent reports estimated the number of civilians dead to exceed 100,000.”

If it's 40,000+, the author can only be referring to Covid-19 deaths.

I agree he should have dedicated more space there to convince the reader.

It's not trivial but not impossibly hard either.

You have open source Android or Linux to start with.
If I was OBS owner I would totally charge for it, don't even quote me
> It's pretty weird.

That's a nice way to say it. I'd call it "absurdly confusing". I can see the use case for people wanting to discover interesting stuff in a language they don't speak, but it has led me to wonder (in excitement with quickly following disappointment) many times why someone I follow has apparently suddenly released a video in a language unusual for them.

Google knows the languages I speak. I have it set in the settings. Last time I checked I haven't found a way to get rid of this idiocy.
Oh my zsh always seemed to add several seconds to shell startup. Fish starts up instantly
for fname in $(ls ~/.config/zsh/functions); do source $fname; done

No, they didn't. Definitively. Such assertions, researched, turned out to be wholly fabricated precisely for rhetorical disinformation.
Absolutely false. On the scale of a personal blog, the cost of HTTPS is enormous, but the benefit is approximately 0.
OBS is such a great tool. It does its job in a clear and specific manner, and exposes as many levers as you need in the controls. The plugin system seems a bit unrefined though, I think it could be a major win if it was somewhat more accessible.

Platform-specific stuff kinda sucks but it's the nature of the beast.

Unfortunately, at some point they seemed to have removed support for the AMD encoder used with my old GPU, so I can't enjoy the recent software updates until I update my hardware.
Twitch and YouTube sponsor OBS as well. The tier below them has a minimum of $50k per year, so they probably pay a lot. Check the OpenCollective as well.

The debugging story is pretty great already. Honestly that expression stuff he is talking about is pretty niche and very rarely works except for toy examples even in C++.

Debugging Rust code in VSCode with Rust-analyzer and LLDB works pretty flawlessly for me, and it understands and displays all the types/values in the GUI so you don't really need expression evaluation.
Yeah. Until it doesn't.

One day the bridge you used every day is closed for repair, and after a few years you realize it isn't going to get fixed.

Protection rackets appear, because the police can't get in to maintain order any more. Working around them takes a lot of thought and social connection, but life goes on.

At some point, the water stops coming through the taps. Getting water is a hassle, but life goes on. Phones stopped working a while back too, you realize. So did the street lights.

Potholes in the roads stay there and get bigger and bigger. But you can still use the road. Until one day you can't.

A few years later you look around and say, "hey, where is everybody?"
`"Nuclear fusion. 30 years away since 1950"`

I feel like there should be bonus points for getting this quote to the top of every fusion article posted until there's an existing fusion reactor.
I bought a Sony Android TV in June. I refused to connect it to the internet and I skipped past the Android setup screens.

I plugged in my Apple TV instead.

Every now and then the Android TV pops up when I turn the TV on and asks me to complete the set up. I always tell it to fuck off.

So far, no ads. It'll stay that way till the TV eventually dies - without ever connecting to the internet.
I don't get it. Why in newer versions of OBS Game Capture is not working for some games, while older version of OBS works without a problem. Same system, same game, OBS version 0.659 (that I have it for like ~2 years) captures games and newer OBS versions all fail. For this purpose I have to keep around this old version while for all other stuff I have the latest and greatest.

Is it some DRM problem? Because otherwise I can't explain it.
They say they don't track users and devices, it's just monitoring the traffic.
So basically no difference to FP32. That sounds very handicapped.

I understand the sentiment but for the records: I don't think employees are the customers of Amazon. I definitely don't think Amazon sees it that way.

What you said makes more sense if you replace both the words with the word 'humans'.
The day apple, microsoft or google would manage updates of a whole system as well as some linux distribution would actually be the end of many user nightmares.

Unless you don't install any app, you still trust all the developers of the apps you install.
Walled garden is just a nice way to name Authoritarianism applied to a platform.

It might make you feel safe to have apple deciding every bits of what you can do with your phone but it does mean that:
- it's secure
- the apps you are using are
- you still have very low control over your data.

You just pay to close your eyes and feel safe.
This is a really cool website!
> anti-racism protesters who ... protest through destructive violent and disruptive tactics

You have revealed yourself too early. Disinformation requires more finesse.
+1 to this. This is really just a compiler/editor problem.

Compiling your answers into semantically sensible standalone posts- that's something that some specific people do very well, very easily, as easily as you respond.

Whether it is economically advantageous for you to hire someone is a different question- answer is probably not- but if you knew someone in the Rust space who was an editor rather than an author, they could, in 2-3 hours a week, scan your posts, distil the useful elements, and write something for you to approve and post. Very common workflow in the publishing space.

Ghostwriters are this at book-scale- interviewing the named author, which, like forum posts spurs answers, which get aggregated into subject areas and distilled using a common voice.

You definitely don't have to beat yourself up about it, or try to solve it with "activation energy" processes- which to be fair sometimes work. Some people are just good at some stuff and other people good at other stuff.

Cheers, good luck.
When the measure becomes the goal, it ceases to be a good measure.

The energy saving has become goal, not an efficient outcome.

Dryers can absolutely be made to be more energy efficient! They just need to use reverse-cycle airconditioners to efficiently heat the air and dehumidify it instead of simply using a resistive heater. These are much more complex to make and are expensive.

Blowing lots of cool air through clothes will also dry them eventually, which is cheap and "energy efficient". Of course, this doesn't work well in humid climates and damages clothes. It's probably overall a net loss for the environment, as making new clothes takes a lot more resources than drying them.

Finally. With big lists, this was one of the most painful and tedius things to do on a computer.

Too bad it still can't reset its stream to YouTube on its own after the overzealous AI disconnects you for nothing.
It's amazing to hear people thinking that Win32 will just go away. It's the core of the API, and has been added to in every Windows version. I am pretty sure the .NET framework on Windows is just wrappers around the Win32 functions, which is why half of the stuff you can't do in .NET you can get by with pinvoke against the native Win32 functions.

It's not going to go away for a very very very long time. All the reimplementation of native applications into slower metro versions (even "simple" applications like Paint, Snipping tool, Calculator) is probably where they're intending to go with a lot of utilities etc. but there is still so much native stuff, eg. MMC + the myriad snap-ins, COM configuration, event manager, Windows explorer itself...
I chuckled/was staggered when I heard that the power density in the Sun's core is approximately the same as a compost heap! (albeit a rather large one...)

Hackers Delight is a pretty fun book on low level algorithms. Lots of little tidbits like how to convert a divide by a constant into a multiple by a different constants and a shift. Thought these days the compilers are good enough to do the same thing but now when you look at the resulting assembly you can figure out how they are doing that.

Yes, you gotta automate a whole bunch of things if you need HTTPS, you have to update the protocols every few years, certificates as often as every few months, OpenSSL versions on a moment's notice.

Or, you could decide to just go HTTP-only for your blog, and never bother doing any of the above, never worry about any automation failing for any reason, never worry about any expired or revoked certificates, never worry about the extra compatibility issues that TLS brings. There's no benefit for HTTPS for a personal blog. It's only there to restrict the access, increase attack surface, and cause compatibility issues.
It is sad that the wisdom from behind the iron curtain (where I grew up, too) is so fitting in the US (where I now live) today. I find that critical assessment of the media, resistance to propaganda and brainwashing detection skills acquired over there served me very well in the US.

I wish those skills were teachable without recreating the full environment...
all books are having pdf/epub/etc format these days, means you can get most if not all of them online for free quickly which is discouraging, plus things move fast these days and book might be out of date soon, and it's easier to self-publish, I think the golden time of legacy book writing is probably gone.

What about some different models? While the internet/google presents everything, a well organized and to-the-point book still saves time and time is everything.

1. have your own website, and write online book only, ask people to pay for read?(free samples at the frontpage).
2. whoever paid can get automatic reminders on new releases, book updates
3. create a small forum on that site for questions and erratas.
4. give a link for whoever read your book somehow without pay, tell them if the book helped them to profit somehow, please press the donate button to show a little appreciation.

As there is no other costs involved(other than hosting fee), your book can be cheaper, to the point people might want to pay even though they can get a free version somewhere.
