While not allowing you to interface arbitrary programs to edit video streams, ffmpeg filter graphs come pretty close to the idea of Unix pipes. You can read more about it here https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-filters.html#Description
I can only skim the article at the moment. At the risk of commenting without RTA: perhaps this is about how you use it? My wife uses Facebook for coordinating things in the community, coordinating kids play dates, and for just browsing very fluffy random bits of interestingness. She ruthlessly curates her feeds to remove anything political or generally negative. When I look at her feed it bears no resemblance to the toxic wasteland that I see in my feed. It reflects my usage, what engages me, even if it’s for the worse and leaves me feeling gross.
They have access to the DB users. You can craft a new user & password-hash pair and insert it into the DB to create your own Wordpress user to manage on their behalf, or the lazy way is to just update the user’s password hash with your own. Then when you fix the issue, revert it. Worked for me years ago, not sure if something fundamental changed

My understanding is that oeganic farming uses less inputs overall (including pesticides and herbicides ) and some organic farmers use no pesticides or herbicides at all depending on the crop.
My phone is always on completely silent mode. It doesn't even ring when someone calls me.

Instead when I've got a call the LED blinks and people know I'll call them back once I've got the time and notice it.

For messages (whatsapp, mail, whatever) I generally only catch up on them once a day.

I don't know how other people can tolerate allowing others to annoy them whenever they feel like it, or deal with the incessant notification noises.

Especially software developers, mathematicians, etc. How do they have time to think and focus when they're interrupted every few minutes?
I want to show people it's possible to work with natural systems to create self-renewing wealth and document my journey so others may reap the benefit of learning from my experiences so they may avoid simple mistakes.

Especially starting out, there are plenty of places to waste time and energy and the feedback loop of waiting multiple years to see results of a test is too slow, if we are to gain adoption we need a better way to transfer to each other what works and what doesn't.

A video is one way to do that.

A person might watch a 5 minute YouTube video and take with them something which took me years to get right. That 5 minutes could translate into many years of learnings which may be applied immediately to their system if they share a similar context.

Being rich is a mindset, and therefore anyone who identifies as it, is it. In most ways, I'm already rich.

Sharing my journey could be considered philanthropy for the planet and all living things on it.

Yes, I spend time making videos but I think this is my most important work so far, if I don't share then the experience dies with me.

I will have no regrets for trying.

I'm only one person after all, and we need global change so I need help and community. This post is a call-to-action, will you join me?

Not taking any position on the rest, but you can mix/tumble cryptocurrency without SPOF: given a specific denomination of bitcoin (eg 1BTC,0.5BTC,0.2BTC,0.1BTC,etc; call it a DIME), set up one or more TOR hidden services with the following interface:

.init: generate a new wallet and return its public key, the public key of another wallet (probably one per service for obvious reasons) with at least a DIME to mix and a opaque token identifying (only to you) the pair.

.fini: given a token from .init and a transaction that adds up multiple source UTXOs and sends 1 DIME to each of a (sorted) list of wallets that includes the .init-generated wallet, sign that transaction with your source wallet.

.link: given a DIME size in BTC and a (.onion) URL implementing this interface at that size, add it to a internal list.

.list: given a DIME size, return (possibly a random subset of) the list from .link for that size.

For best results you'd need to formalize this interface a bit more and popularize it for better entropy and better plausibility of "well, I guess someone else thought this was a good idea to imitate". Speccing a client to interact with such services (feeding data from .list back into .link and collecting keys from .init to build transactions for .fini) is left as a excersize for the reader.

The key point is that you have disposable pseudonyms that will mix their coins with anyone who offers a valid mixing transaction. Assuming there is demand for mixing from anyone other than you (if there's not, you can't really do anything anyway), this captures that demand in order to satisfy your own mixing needs, while also allowing others to bootstrap the exact same trick by adding their own backends via .link.

There's QOS and anti-DOS issues to be solved, but it's definitely something that in principle can work.

Amplify has its own (Rails like) workflow, with its own CLI and it comes with libraries for JavaScript and UI components for React.

I consider this my "Peak Startup" event...

I was in a similar situation as author, only in Chicago 'burbs. We were working hard to build our product, and there was free unlimited fizzy sugar water in the kitchen.

I drank so many MtDews that when I got back home, to the house we rented where I was living with 3 other startup members, and passed out in bed, I ended up peeing myself in my sleep for the first time as an adult. Worse, it happened again the next night!

It didn't happen after that, to my knowledge, but I've sworn off both MtDew and doing more than 10 hours per workday since then.

It also made me realize that if a startup can't make it without taking a huge toll on health and happiness, it's not sustainable by definition, and should be modified. There are occasional exceptions, but most of the time this rule stands.
Well if it's drawing every pixel or using 2D primitives that sounds much more like Flutter than React Native since Flutter also uses Skia while React Native uses platform widgets.
Ok. I think I'd rather go for .NET MAUI when it comes out, as native has a better look and feel pretty much always. Apparently though .NET MAUI is set for .NET 6 which doesn't have a release schedule. So there's that.

I haven't used Xamarin.Forms, what's the problem with it?
> someone who worked at a low-status job for four years out of college, then worked at a hot startup for one year. Or someone with no college degree who spent time working in "low-status" tech roles but has one popular GitHub project.

The parts about "hot" startups and popular GitHub projects do sound a lot like prestige to me. Incidentally I have worked for quite some time at a "hot" startup (in Europe) and I can tell you that its "hotness" was in no way justified by tech fundamentals - it was mostly fueled by great sales and marketing. GitHub popularity is also not necessarily related to fundamentals - remember things like the isEven, isOdd etc. packages?
Python is certainly popular, but the TIOBE Index ranking is not credible.

Quote: "The ratings are based on the number of skilled engineers world-wide, courses and third party vendors. "

According to this index, "Logo", beats out Rust, Scala, Kotlin, and Cobol.

I cannot remind myself when I last time saw a course, book or even any source code covering Logo.

This must be some very poorly vetted, automatically collected data that tripped over something provoking the ranking.

>As an example, Florida did not vote for Biden. Not because he's too left, but because he's not left enough.

If this were true, then Florida's state laws wouldn't so conservative. Passing one minimum wage law, which is long overdue and lags behind any "left" state, does not lead to the conclusion that Florida would have voted for someone such as Bernie Sanders.

Even the minimum wage law FL passed is very weak. It's $1 per year, starting at $10 per hour, starting Sep 1, 2021.

I think its a safer and probably more accurate claim that it's needless fear mongering

I would have focused more on the credibility of the source and weakened the severity of it.

1) it's from the guardian via its a fair cop. Weakening the source of the news, the anti-government angle, attacking the poor legal knowledge of the argument.

2) it's a consultation document, it's just for discussion, its nothing legal, nor will it be used for making new laws. Its nothing to worry about.

I cant find any possible way to spin what the document says to make it read the other way. strange indeed!
i think they mean "as opposed to their other attributes"
When exposing services to the internet it's even more PITA since each device needs a DynDNS client configured, whereas with IPv4 just the router needs one for my single public IP.

Presumably because you configured the forwarding on the router? I mean, that should still be possible, right? Set up a name for the routers IP, and have it forward the connections statically.

IPv6 on the LAN is quite a pita due to the massive "random" prefix, gone are the days of easy addresses like 10.0.0.12.

Or just use the hostname? Sometime a couple of years ago, local names just started working, sort of on their own. My Synology is nas.local, Linux boxes are reachable using their configured hostname, even my elderly printer shows up as vigor2.local.
There are numerous MVC frameworks for any given language. Some even give you admin control panels out of the box if you need a quick and basic admin. Trying to contort Wordpress into some kind of application framework will arguably take longer to build out than using purpose-built frameworks. Even something as basic as routing is quite convoluted in Wordpress.
Was a while ago since i read the paper but at the time Agesen's CPA algorithm was among the most powerful for type inference (and while we've had a bunch of incremental improvements in the field there hasn't really been any order of magnitudes better algorithm that can handle edge cases that many dynamic languages produce), so regardless of if the Self runtime was JIT or AOT the algorithm choice showed what was feasible/usable with AOT.
I actually like this kind of title, so... `"Unreasonable repetition of 'unreasonable' and 'considered harmful' considered harmful." considered harmful.`
Kinda hard to find actually working WASM showcases, but this one...

...loads 8.1 MBytes compressed (32 MBytes uncompressed) until the login button appears.

This simple calculator:

https://calculator.platform.uno/

...10.1 MBytes compressed, 53.8 MBytes uncompressed. Needs a splashscreen and 10 seconds to start (on a 50 MBit connection)

It's one thing to "simply" port some cross-platform-code to WASM and make it run in the browser, but making it a proper web application takes some actual effort. I feel that "efforts" like this just give WASM a bad reputation. Sorry to be blunt.
Implying the solution requires 50 requests by looking at the gallery is rather uncharitable.

Half of the requests are unrelated js/css/images that could be combined into smaller and fewer requests.

As for the other half of files, most are .clr.

I'm not privy on the details of this solution but most webassembly demos I've seen combined all files into one single wasm file.
I have never heard of "orient" to mean "point something in an easterly direction." The difference between "orient" and "orientate" to my ear is "orient" is a verb and "orientation" is a noun. That means "object-oriented" is a gerunded adjective and "object-orientated" is an compounded adjectival noun. Since the usage is as a gerunded adjective, "object-orientated" is just grammatically awkward. But I'm not a grammatical prescriptivist, so you guys do you.
It doesn’t need those high temperatures but it takes a lot of energy to boil 10000 liters of water or whatever they end up using per batch.
A classy move here would be to make a bunch PRs to fix bugs in the codebase, inspiring Nat and Co. to just Open Source it all :) I know nothing about their revenue model of how it relies on proprietary code, of course, but it's fun to imagine.

Or you could just not have any icons on the home screen at all.

Use T-UI instead:

I actually find it much easier to use than the icons. I just type a few characters, sometimes just one, usually only two or three and T-UI finds the app for me.
Way back in the day when I worked for some server rental place, we had an AUP and all of that, but an internal policy: if the cops came knocking about your stuff, we were gonna shut it all down.

Basic reason is that the effort involved in such an account cost us more money than we made in dealing with it. Easier to just cut the relationship.
Yes, I read "platform 2D primitives" as the basic UI elements of the platform, but you're right.

this actually looks pretty neat, and seems super simple to install. the pricing is free. demo looks great.

I don't get the catch. is this just a marketing scheme to get their name out? why would they give out a data intensive product like this for free?

i just installed it, so we will see.
This looks interesting, having skia as the drawing foundation and reactive as a core element sounds like they’re rewriting a flutter like framework but on the jvm instead of dartvm. Jetbrains sometimes dogfoods their products so I hope to see this technology exercised into utility

The Law Commission is a very serious and credible source, obviously newspapers spin this however suits them.

It is known that their reports are not the law but only proposals that may inform law-making. The article is quite factual.

What is shocking is that they (the Law Commission) would essentially propose restricting free speech in people's homes, which is what their proposal is word for word.
My experience was on large highly mechanised trawlers in the North Sea - sleeping for two or three hours then gutting fish for a few hours then eat and sleep and repeat for best part of 5 days....

NB The "highly mechanised" part just adds to the fear factor - winches and other heavy equipment are scary enough at the best of times, but when the sea is rough, its dark they are (for me) terrifying.

Edit: This was 30 years ago...
I heavily disagree here. Python is a very flexible language that allows you to do all sorts of things, even if there's a preferred, pythonic way. Reading it can be very hard depending on who wrote it ( it's even worse if the person is very good with Python, because then they'd take non-obvious shortcuts )

Case in point, Golang. One of its raison d'être is because Python was too complex to control and make readable, hence a language that doesn't give you much choice and enforces good practices ( refusing to compile when you have unused variables or imports for instance).
Are those costs not dwarfed by the bandwidth and compute costs for distribution?

My assumption was that even with k8s there'll be an API gateway, GTM etc

Comparing
AWS Lamda = 147,167.87 USD
to
K8s with autoscaling:

DS32a_v4 at spot pricing = 66 * 0.5704 * 24 * 365 = 329782.46 USD
With 2 FTEs @ 100k total is 529782.46 USD
Caveat application can tolerate autoscaling delays

Summary: AWS Lambda is 3.5x cheaper than a Kubernetes solution
It's probably the responsible thing to do and Denmark is a 1st world country, so they can afford it. But would the same thing happen if this problem occured in a poorer country? Probably not. So isn't it inevitable that a similar mutation happens in mink in another, poorer country and that it then spreads from there?

You're making the assumption that this consultattion is aimed at the general public and that it is not written in careful legal language.

"We're thinking of spitting in your eye. Do you want us to spit in your eye?"

The question is obviously no, and here's a big list of reasons why not.

"We're thinking of removing the private dwelling exemption. Do you agree?"

The answer is obviously no. Police officers are going to talk about the impossibility of gathering evidence to prosecute the crime. CPS, and solicitors, and barristers are going to talk about the importance of free speech protections and the difficulty of proving mens rei. Judges are going to talk about the problems of convicting people of a crime when it's difficult to show who the victims of that crime might be.

All of this thread happens because people don't bother to read the source documents and get whipped into a frenzy by shitty low-tier troll groups like "We Are Fair Cop". FFS, spit the hook.

> What's commercial benefits if at all any?

That's the brilliant thing about the BBC. None, and it does not matter.

It's a publicly funded organization. They cannot make money by law (excluding BBC World).

Any organisation as large as the BBC design their online media around making users buy more products. UX, a/b testing, research, all about making you buy something even if you didn't want to buy it. If the website isn't trying to sell you something, it's trying to collect your information to sell or provide others opportunities to sell to you.

For the BBC you have none of that. That means everyone working at the BBC is working on providing the best user experience and content where you freely choose to visit because of the quality and content. Even if you don't like the content, critique the site, disagree or find faults with it, that doesn't change the fact the people creating it believe it's the best experience for a user. I've yet to work anywhere with all development being driven by UX and the UX member being one of the most respected people on the team. Their metric for success is visitors happiness, not profit from sales.

They are also on tighter budgets, a political target, and legally can't compete with other commercial organisations. That means they can't always do things as well as they can do as some company will complain they are stealing their customers. That's why IPlayer has stagnated as an example.

While their current lambda rendering wouldn't be something I'd personally do or recommend, it's also likely not CV building. The BBC is a billion pound, large, corporate organisation. Change is hard, deviating from the norm is hard, sometimes the process can make it hard to get things done. So ending up where they are now was probably a gradual process of trialing things over the years, capabilities of staff skills, and so on.

The BBC has many faults but the lack of "What's commercial benefit" makes for doing fantastic work. It was the only meaningful work I've done in my career so far.
I have rules of thumb for scheduling meetings:

1. Don't invite managers - unless you're told to.

2. Slot 10 minutes for each non-manager.

3. Add 15 minutes for each manager.

4. Add 30 minutes each for certain people - you know who I mean.

As developers, it can be confusing for us trying to understand why managers call so many pointless meetings. Just remember Maslow's hammer: "if all you have is a hammer, every job looks like a nail."
It did seem a particularly poor presentation - not helped by the constant slips in the time they were going to be giving it.

NB I'm in Scotland so it's not like it even applies here!
I'm surprised TIOBE is still taken seriously these days. It certainly sort-of correlates with popularity but it's a bullshit measure.

I tried it out back this summer, using it for my very first attempt at arranging music. I was amazed at how well it worked out, but it is a bit fiddly to use. Then again, musical notation can be fiendishly complicated, so figuring out how to make a music scorer that a rookie like me can use at all is quite an accomplishment.

It's a lot nicer for me to use than Lilypond/Frescobaldi - especially when I want to use handbell articulations (martellato, tower swing, gyrate, and so on). I transcribed a couple of vocal pieces using Frescobaldi, and while that worked, I started running into blank walls when I wanted to do something handbell-related.
