That’s an interesting solution. Given my personality, I’m not sure it’s one I could do.

What I have done is transition to an area in which my skills can be
used to make money for me and others. It’s interesting that when money is involved, there are people who are willing to support less-than-trendy ideas.
ABI issues are a fundamental problem with having many different ABIs - things are much better on Linux, where there's a clear standard, and everybody conforms to it. VC is the de facto ABI standard on Win32, but I'm not even sure to what extent it's documented, beyond the bits that are needed for COM.

In any case, I'm not trying to blame anyone here - just pointing out that MinGW is a second-class citizen when it comes to C/C++ development on Windows, and this is usually more important than having access to MSYS2.

Yes, and the best part is everything is turned into command line arguments.

ffmpeg of 15 years ago was confusing, but now it's so simple - to compile, to add your own filters, and to use, they've done a great job.
This is very interesting introduction into CRDTs. I have recently been learning about this topic and found some other useful blog posts and articles about it. Here is a list of them: https://knowledgepicker.com/t/226/conflict-free-replicated-d... - if you know some more good ones, feel free to add them there, it's open for contributions!
The last time I checked, we didn't have a whole lot of songs that feature a cat playing the cowbell and therefore I would be doing myself a disservice, and every member of the HN if I didn't perform the hell out of this.
On the desktop client you can select all songs on a playlist, right click and add to a new playlist. This new lis shows up as able to be transferred with SongShift. I did it last night as a PoC, I’ve done it it previously to customize some Spotify playlists here and there and will be my method going forward to keep lists in sync between services now. Just in case they try to pull access again.
An accurate description of the toxicity of publicly owned companies, accelerated by VC and startup culture.

In this case, users are both product and paying customer. Ads is one thing, but GDPR request showed they log every action related to the account.
A parallel experience I’ve had biases me towards expecting that people would most likely be supportive. I was the only guy in a hip hop dance class a friend invited me to - the instructor called out when I did moves right and generally made me feel like I was progressing.

We should try things that interest us and be understanding that we won’t have the same status in those activities as the ones we’re good at.

This isn’t to say that startup disparities are caused by personal anxiety (I personally believe the structural narrative more in that case). It is to say, though, that we sometimes build up personal barriers where none truly exist - especially for simple things like sports
Some additional things to consider:

1) Remote work does not necessarily mean WFH. It means work where is most effective for you instead of going to some office. These days there are many different kinds of solutions for having office space if you want/need it. It also becomes more of a commodity that you can simply use when needed (e.g. a final push before release, a workshop preparing for a big new project, etc.).

2) Companies who recognise this and get rid of their local offices may experience a cost advantage because having offices costs more than just the building. There are a lot of utility costs involved, you need people who manage the facilities, etc., etc.

3) If we're really serious about the environment, avoiding people having to commute to work should be a serious goal. Companies tend to talk about reducing how much they fly around but what is the Co2 footprint of flying in total compared to commuting?
I usually have to bite my tongue when it comes to Sabine's ramblings. BTW, I would love if anyone could point me any phenomenology paper of hers, I can't find them. Maybe when she single-handedly finishes with the slaying of the particle physics dragon she might tackle idk, condensed matter physics, she has the same kind of background there so who knows.

Anyway, I'd like to link Dorigo's post where this anti-science stirrup might have shown up first:

I don't find it surprising tbh.
This is exactly how it should be. Cowbells are loud!
Both. Because they don't handle the dialect differences properly.
Believe it or not, reducing your temperatures by 10 degrees Celsius would increase the life of your CPU by roughly [79%](https://danuker.go.ro/caring-for-your-hardware.html).

Perhaps this digs into sales of new chips, which is why it's so hard to do.

I made a different sacrifice - that of frequency. I vastly reduce temperature cycling by [disabling TurboBoost](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CPU_frequency_scaling#D...) and the absolute temperature by using the "powersave" governor.

Neither is Croatia.
However, it is usually much easier / faster to enter Schengen from Croatia (which is part of European Union) or Ireland or UK then from, e.g., Ukraine.
Also, in airports there is usually "more-relaxed" EEU line to get into any European union country (+ some other like UK and Switzerland), no matter is it in Schengen or not.
Disclaimer: I'm living in Croatia.

There are many cases that doesn't solve, for example, how can I conditionally decide to either inject an attribute or not inject it using this technique? How do I mix user-controlled text which should be escaped with dynamically generated HTML in PHP strings that I don't want to be escaped? How will scope be managed and can those constants be redefined (not normally a concern in SGML)?

Plus, what makes you expect this opt-in syntax would catch on if people already don't care enough to use HTML-aware template engines?

EDIT: Also, what happens if the static parts of the document aren't syntactically correct SGML? How can you even know if the final output will be syntactically correct SGML until you run all the legacy parts of the PHP code that output directly in the document stream?
That would be an accurate analysis if this was, for example, random noise in a system. But inexperience is not random, and cannot be said to "cancel out" in any meaningful way.
I think you’re setting up a bit of a straw man there. I agree that people coming up with creative ideas and making bold predictions is good in general. But surely we’re allowed to point out when a) predictions have not in fact worked out, and b) nothing particularly useful was learned from the failure. That’s not the same as trying to discourage new ideas.

For the LHC specifically, it was widely expected that it would find evidence of supersymmetry, and that pinning down the details would help identify which extensions to the Standard Model are worth pursuing. But in fact a) no evidence of supersymmetry has been found, and b) no new lines of inquiry have been suggested. Most theorists have simply adjusted their existing models, moving the goalposts to account for the lack of experimental support.

This is exactly what Hossenfelder is complaining about. Why double and triple down on the same strategy that hasn’t worked yet? Why not at least spread your bets across some different strategies?
On Safari, it feel fast in some places, but there are still many Janks. And no anywhere near as good as the App Experience. Especially in Scrolling and Lots of Imaging.

Most people who buy LSD consider darknet sources to be much more reliable than street sources. Of course, there are bad apples everywhere, but with LSD if you’re reagant testing it to at least verify the presence of indoles (LSD or one of its many analogs), you can be pretty sure it’s not an NBOME substance, because there’s no good reason for a seller to put both LSD and NBOME in the same tab. Or you can just swallow it instead of taking it sublingually, apparently NBOMEs are not metabolized by the stomach.

I am from the EU too. I was just wondering what the advantages of the UK/Ireland are in getting from a non-Schengen island to the continent as opposed to some other non-Schengen countries with no land connection. There are separate airport gates for Schengen and non-Schengen destinations. Had no such doubts about Croatia but thanks for the comment!
Yeah I put tool tips in as many places as I could think of it, but that's a good idea.

Thanks! Much appreciated. DM me on Twitter if you like @typodomain and I'd be happy to give you a free report for the feedback.
I think more should be spent on fusion research - I think it is just as likely to produce interesting random spin off technologies, but could also produce huge direct benefits to the earth if it can be made into a safe way to produce energy cheaply.

JET has proved it is possible: https://ccfe.ukaea.uk/research/joint-european-torus/

ITER is taking JET's work to the next level
https://www.iter.org/

Maybe it can't ever be made cheap or practical but worst case scenario it produces interesting results and spin offs like CERN does now.
I'm glad you are willing him a better life, but don't really expect it is even possible. No. Especially for a Snowden's kind of person. It's more like a prison with free walks.
You should make your govt to pardon him and clear from all charges.
There are a few VPN services (about 3) that are recommended by both privacytools.io (https://www.privacytools.io/providers/vpn/) and the freedom of the press foundation (https://freedom.press/training/choosing-a-vpn/).

Some accept anonymous cash payments like mullvad and do not require any information.

Everyone here probably knows VPNs are not an all-in solution for privacy nor security but they're certainly a good added layer to add and most likely have better privacy standards than most ISPs.

A person more concerned about privacy should just add one or more layers above/below the VPN ... like ISP > VPN > Tor for instance at the price of substantially lower performance ...

Or you could do the opposite with a cash accepting VPN such as Mullvad ... and only connect to them using ISP > Tor > VPN which would also provide a decent layer that would avoid the massive "maicious high risk flagging" of Tor Exit nodes everywhere while preventing the VPN provider from knowing your IP. You certainly have to hit less captchas with VPNs than with Tor ...

There are also quite a few VPN/VPS providers accepting Monero that can be used and paid for "anonymously" for adding more layers.

If you live in a large city with a decent view on places offering free legal public wifi, you could also buy a long range Wifi Directionnal Antenna and USB Wifi adapter to add such layer while remaining at home and avoid having to move to such places. Mac address randomization is trivial and integrated in most OSes now. Again it's not perfect but it's an added "convenient" layer not requiring physical moving.
Curiously at some point I also had SSL errors with youtube-dl, I installed mine via pip3, and I think updating it fixed the problem.

Re: permission errors, might be due to the fact that you are root by default and should add a new non-root user (via useradd).
Yeah that’s only true if you aren’t using piops. It can be an order of magnitude in price difference vs i3 when you need lots of I/O.
This was most importantly about backwards compatibility with files. You definitely still care about that cross-platform. (Sure, there is also the API split where now you have two sets of functions, the A and the W variants, so that UCS-2 made things much more complicated for ever after, compared with implementing Unicode as a code page, by whatever means. Compatibility was not quite such a big deal there, though the approach they took seems to me to have been a poor choice. Again there were reasons why they did it the way they did, but those reasons have aged very poorly.)
You can't rely on a compiled/JIT language to address performance requirements. There's always time when your server is overloaded, no matter if it can handle 100 or 10000 RPS. You should architect your app with scalability in mind. And then there's not much difference between languages, only marginal savings on infrastructure. But one month of decend web server host costs about the same as one hour of decent software engineer.
MicroMod – A modular prototyping platform for interchanging microcontrollers
I haven't made any estimates to how much energy is wasted like this but I "feel" that it is negligible. Max power consumption will not change in power demanding cases as cpu will still throttle up to the TDP limits. I think it will only consume less power when idling but I think that this is in the range of Watts.
And we haven't even discussed microservices architecture & CI/CD pipelines. Should we included AI powered monitoring?
Why is a study or a concrete example necessary, if I might ask. It works perfectly fine as a thought experiment.
> Given that 50% of population is women, for every country (more or less), then they should get 50% of the funding.

Your "they" betrays you. The women in the population are not the women founders the article focuses on. The 1.3% relates to the absolute share of money raised for woman-founded companies.

Women are not 50% of the founders, nor are female-founded companies valued at 50% of the market total (using this as a proxy for how much they raise, but agree this is not 1:1), nor are all companies asking for funding at the same time, nor are investors meeting with all companies, nor, nor, nor...

I come back to the original point: sex does not predicate founding, nor should it.
Specifically, you need to get the "projector" from this page: https://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/debug_downloads.ht...
LGR, such a wholesome channel.
I agree absolutely.

I would also say that this applies more broadly - that busy work is required in all parts of one's life. Deconstruct everything. Accept nothing. You will still learn, but you will recognise the assumptions and beliefs that you hold, and having recognised them you will also test for their truth.

I see 'busy work' as the root to a more valid personal epistemology; one that is based on personal use of the scientific method.
I arrived in Bali, Indonesia at the start of the pandemic with a 6 month visa. A few months in they started granting emergency extensions to anyone who wanted to stay (getting a flight home was tricky at that time, and still is).

Lots of people left but a core of nomads and expats have remained.

They have since slowly begun to dial back the giving out of emergency visa extensions but you can still get a new visa through the normal process. There are even people arriving in Bali recently, on newly-issued visas from overseas.

The scene is obviously quieter here now. There are no tourists, only nomads and retirees who live here.

Honestly it’s pretty nice and I’m glad I stayed.
Unbelievably based.

I learned Spring, one of the worst frameworks I ever worked with (note that I have worked with Laravel too). Spring is a bloated mess with lots of legacy & misuse of annotations, a.k.a necromancy.

It has somewhat improved with Spring Boot, but still to be avoided.

Database layer in Spring, especially if you combine it with the monstrosity called Hibernate, is enough to apply to an insane asylum. Trying to debug what combinations of annotations that work and doesn't work is time you could have used writing PHP instead and get results.

The idea that you can annotate a SQL schema & query language into a Java class with annotations is one of the most asinine ideas I ever come across.

And don't get me started on Java collections.
If the author himself tells you so, it’s more than likely. :-)
I'm mostly interested in the source of the story, it sounds completely fabricated and if it is true, it should be very easy to replicate.

But let's take the idea to the extreme, imagine we are building an system, one team starts building and improving on the design for 6 months. Other team builds and starts anew every 2 weeks. Who would have a better system at the end of 6 months? Tough to tell, the iterative one will probably build it from the ground in a better way with less technical debt but who will have a more complete system or more features.

It's hard to be loved when one wants to take money away from other people and their projects. A more promising line of action would be building another community of particle physicists with different goals than building a bigger collider, possibly aligned with Hossenfelder's suggestions. In this way they'll have something to gain and will fight for the budget that otherwise would go into the collider.

Even if you don't give them your real identity, they have access to the IP address you are connecting from which to a big enough adversary is enough to identify you.
I thought running any kind of loadable code or JIT on the App Store was banned. I'm very glad to have this app.
I think it is wrong to cherry pick the HTML example. It would have been invented outside (wasn't SGML already a thing?).

Compared to open source in general the CERN stacks are horrible, typical sloppy academic software of no use to the general public. Tons of stuff like the cling C++ interpreter that look interesting but are never polished to be generally useful.
If you consider version n+1 of your software a new product - it's the same idea.

This is basically agile vs waterfall.
The only correct answer here.
Plants only really consume CO2 when they grow (for fully grown plants CO2 consumption and creation balances out)

Sure, if emissions go down the number of plants goes down. But they aren't going down that much in the near term
FFII interviewed: software patents in Europe via the Unitary Patent
Maybe the thing I would add is that you need to have reached a level of competence where you can critique your own work.

It's hard to describe it, but in many areas you will find there's a level where you know where you're going wrong, or where you need external help, and generally whether you are on the right path.

Before you reach that level you will just fumble around forever. I'm pretty sure I could play a lot of silly piano tunes without getting anywhere, since I have no experience at all in that field.
An Innovative Way to Prevent Adversarial Supplier Relationships
You're responding to stereotypes not whole reality, and you're mistaking best case scenarios for average expected outcomes - i.e., "go without pay for a while" and "Failed tech entrepreneurs get highly paid tech jobs".

Many walk away financially/mentally/physically ruined, without a well-paid job to fail into, and thus ending up substantially worse off than they would be if they'd just taken a regular job.

If you have any data to demonstrate (a) that the risk-adjusted expected return of a VC-funded male startup founder is significantly better than the expected career outcome for the many women who do very well from highly paid jobs in large tech companies, and (b) this outcome is higher only because they were granted VC funding, then we'd have something to talk about.

It's clearly simplistic to paint startup founder life as "prestigious", when in fact many founders are mocked if they fail and despised (and/or still mocked) if they succeed.

And it's a non sequitur to invoke "savings, safety nets via family etc", when this has nothing to do with gender, as it is to assert out that "failed tech entrepreneurs get highly paid tech jobs", when it's clear that people who are eligible for highly paid tech jobs can get them just as easily without starting a VC-funded company first.

That women generally prefer to take the more direct path just suggests that they make smarter life choices.
For now. If Uber gets away with it, all taxi companies will follow, and the situation changes.
What do you think the value would be that wouldn't warrant putting just? How much do you think is the "fair" amount women should receive?

If you do #1, you'll get #3 and #4 for free, and full integration of #2 and #6 :-) Best 80 bucks you can ever spend if you write PHP.

My basic procedure when inheriting legacy code is:

- Load the project in phpstorm

- Perform autoformatting so it becomes readable

- Run code inspection to find any obvious issues the original author missed

- Write tests in phpstorm, if not already exists

- Run the code with xdebug, step through it
