Thanks for this, I'm socially committed now ;-)

For what it's worth, I've dabbled with Go for about two years, doing the matasano crypto challenge and an AoC using it, before I actually started using it for "real work"TM.

Many (most) benchmarks are designed to reflect real-world workloads.
Having just recently bought a Smart TV, I was shocked by the amount of ads that played. I pretty much stopped using it at this point.
There is just too many ads. I dont even know how they can cram more ads into videos at this point.

I remember learning about sets in elementary school in the 60's - subsets, unions, intersections (joins) - year after year, and thinking that I would never need this. Now I've been doing data engineering since 1989 (when it was called systems integration) and all I do is work with sets. So glad I had that schooling.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think this is mainly because Apple does mostly translation, while Windows on Arm is pure emulation.

This combined with the fact that Arm-based Windows PCs have mostly used mobile chips not optimized for the desktop use-case and form factor, is why the new Arm-based Macbooks leave any Arm-based Windows PCs in the dust in terms of performance.
Which isn't trivial to do on mobile browsers and shouldn't be necessary in the first place
Interesting point that VTOL actually lets you design your wings only for supersonic flight and avoiding the larger wings (and drag) you’d need for traditional landing and take off.

I hadn’t considered that before.
An amoral entity optimising for growth is a cancer. You may view this differently, but I see that as strictly evil.
As a writer I do too. There are many issues with the scheme, primarily around the elements of 'writing' which are technically essential to making a living (teaching, talks etc), but not covered in the requirement that income be primarily from writing. That said, it shouldn't be an excuse for very wealthy people to use Ireland as a tax haven. We already get enough of that with the corporate tax rate.

Thanks for posting how you get everything set up for AoC! It's always neat to see how folks tackle the problems and set up their dev environments -- there's a good bit that can be automated between setting up each day's challenge.
What I find more concerning is many people will have uploaded videos with the understanding people could just watch them for free and then died. At which point YouTube is essentially monetizing dead people without paying their estates.

Are people going to need to stipulate in their will to delete all uploaded content to stop crap like this?
I am inclined to think most users use client-side content blocking, and not DNS-based content blocking, which has always been trivially bypassable long before DoH was around.

So given that DoH has real and practical security and privacy benefits, and non-DNS based content blocking solutions are already available, are more common, and work more effectively, I don't see how it is such a nightmare to adopt those more secure defaults for everyone.

Furthermore I don't think anyone is suggesting "100 different applications" will each have their own resolvers embedded. It makes sense for browsers to be a special case since they are particularly in need of the additional privacy affordances that DoH can provide, and operating system vendors have been slow to implement it.

Those are even worse. Why can't we let political discourse stay in political spaces? That used to be the norm and everyone was far less stressed out and amicable for it. Now every space has become a battleground for sociopolitical discourse and we're drawing lines everywhere.
> They can endorse whatever they wish though, that's by choice.

This is just not true. They endorse whatever aligns with their goals, which did not change since 1985: https://ryf.fsf.org/. The corresponding price is not their fault, but the fault of current economics (where it's more economical to restrict users' freedom).

Not one argues with that. However we also need to go further towards the freedom, so we also need Purism. Hopefully at some point those three companies collaborate to create perfectly free, sustainable, cheap smartphone... Or at least the competition between them can lead us there.
You are already paying for it with massive crawling of your personal information.
Note: I just rewrote a lot of the blog post to be more clear.
YouTube doesn't have any acceptable ads.
2a) doesn't matter if they can cut it in the switch position, it's the exposure that matters

2b) if they don't see the point, there needs to be a serious conversation and maybe consider a new hire who does understand the benefits

You didn't actually contradict anything I said though. You just let your personal feelings decide which identical half of the coin looks better. Don't fall prey to emotion just because the facts make you angry or don't fit the narrative you learned to love.

All superpowers act from the same playbook. The more "super" the power, the worse they're willing to do to hang on to it. Look at history for a confirmation. Not accepting reality doesn't make you right. The US isn't inherently better or worse, more or less immoral than other superpowers but it does have the military, economic, and political power to do whatever they need to do to grow it or at least not lose any of it. If it means bombing a hospital, imposing sanctions on an enemy, or strongarming an ally they'll do it because not doing it means giving up an inch. One here, one there, pretty soon they're a mile behind. So no quarter given.

I recommend this as an entry level course series, I actually attended Dr. Peffer's lectures on campus (as a non student) after nearly 10 years after completing my BSc in Cellular and Molecular biology. She holds a post Doc and research position on Campus and really likes Ed-tech and the 'gamification' of Education as a whole; she is what I wished I had when I was doing my undergrad.

When you want to get really into, head over to Josiah Zayner's, The Odin [0], where he takes Bio-hacker methods to Gene Editing and synthetic Biology. He sells kits and has weekly podcasts [1] of his experiments and observations for people to follow along. They did a COVID vaccine trial on themselves, and then moved on to making lab-grown meat, which was actually very cool way to get into the space and the community.

Today I've observed that tension that causes yawning and sneezing can be alleviated by assuming bhujangasana position, tilt head all the way up till it touch the neck, open up mouth till the back of the throat relaxed.
> If you love something, let it go. If it comes back to you, its yours forever. If it doesn't, you hunt that bitch down and kill her.

That's just awful. Yikes.

> I'm not saying I hate her. I just hope she gets fingered by wolverine

This one I find hilarious. I wouldn't say it's sexist either, it's clearly targetted at a single person he doesn't like, not women in general.

> If you ever wanna know what a woman's mind feels like? Imagine a browser with 2857 tabs open, all the time.

Again, this one is just awful. It wouldn't even be funny if it wasn't sexist on top of it.

> The reason women will never be the ones to propose is because as soon as she gets on her knees, he will start unzipping.

Isn't this also sexist against men? The main joke here is the "men just can't keep their pants up" cliche.

> I'm no gynecologist, but I know a cunt when I see one.

I can totally see this being used to insult a guy. :%s/cunt/dick/<CR> and the joke still works the same, so no, not sexist.

Hope you know that you are taking a political stand if you think software developers shouldn't talk about politics.

For longer videos, YouTube tends to put not just an ad or two at the beginning, but also in the middle of the video. It can be pretty jarring to be listening to a quiet video, and then 10 minutes in, an obnoxiously loud ad starts playing.

No idea if the creators opt in to this “feature” (I bet they don’t; it’s probably either all or nothing with ads), but it definitely exists.
Another goal is to deal with the problem of "no log" VPN providers being forced to tag all internet-bound traffic on port 53 with the customer IP it originated from.

This has evolved into the universal compromise, since the VPN provider still gets to claim that they themselves aren't doing any logging. But of course their upstream ISP is now easily able to do so.

This is why mullvad intercepts all DNS queries (even to 8.8.8.8 or 1.1.1.1). Try using OpenNIC from behind mullvad: you won't get the extra TLDs.

Logging DNS makes it easy to selectively deanonymize people. All you have to do is get them to browse to a website that resolves a weird domain name.
People on the car forum comparing bmw with the same horse power as a fiat will agree with you.
Well the Librem 5 is not another 'widget in a warehouse'. It was always going to be a long wait to delivery, due to the enormity of the undertaking. This was not a surprise to anyone. Addresses will need to be updated after order in this case! Every implementation is different.
Easy? Good luck replacing all your accounts and contacts using your @gmail.com email. You'll move to another provider but you'll need to keep the old GMail one around for a long time before you're safe deleting it.
NotepadQQ was something I tried to use as a Notepad++ alternative on Linux, but what really killed it for me was the absence of the UDL functionality. Ended up using Npp via Wine.
Yes. Addicted to Twitter, instagram etc.
I agree - for commercial development its a trivial step. But it's yet another barrier to entry for students and people that just want to hack on their own computer at will.

It's also a potentially dangerous first step towards forcing new versions of MacOS to only run code from verified developers - those that pay Apple. Again, trivial for commericial development, but a major issue for non-commercial use.
If you knew you could flip a $16k investment into a $1MM return practically overnight I bet you could come up with $16k in an instant.
I've been a Red/Premium subscriber for years, and I'm out the second there's a single ad. I'm annoyed at the increasing number of creators jamming sponsorships into their content. I don't know what my threshold is on that before I just stop following YouTube content altogether, but I'm getting close.
From pixels to bricks: the similarities between digital design and architecture
We already support videos that have acceptable ads: not YouTube ads, but in-video ads. The creator is paid directly by the advertiser with no middle-man, the user is not tracked and can easily skip them, and personally I prefer these ads instead of unskippable TV-like commercials .
I suppose even if bandwidth is metered, the very idea of faster speeds may provoke developers into being more ambitious with the functionality the provide to users.
The perfect amalgamation of ad-hominem and whataboutism
Exactly! That was my feeling when I first created it, I'm glad you found it useful too!
Nonsense. They have a lot of short and inoffensive ads, and similar delivery methods. They also have a lot of long offensive ones, and we should give them an incentive to favor the former
> Edit: I've realised that many of you are using some sort of ad-blocker, so you might not felt the changes when it was (silently) rolled out years ago, but this is from my experience using YouTube on devices which I cannot install an ad-blocker (like in some instructional videos for certain robots which some companies decided to use YouTube for).

I do not have definite proof for this, as I said on the top comment it is rather occasional, but I'm pretty sure that this happened to me on these videos (will update as I remember them):

- Tom Scott (which is definitely in YPP in 2018) has a video titled Stories I Can't Tell [1]. At the time I've watched it for the first time, it has a in-video ad at the tail of the video even though he explicitly said that the video is not monetised (and therefore it might be Google getting the money). Notably, he prepares his videos days or weeks in advance so I'm confident he indeed turn off monetisation on this.

- From time-to-time, I have accessed channels for work purposes. One of them is Fisher Scientific [2], which does have ads occasionally despite the fact that it shouldn't have (and obviously they wouldn't have bothered to submit YPP).

- Similarly, YouTube channels using Google Workspace accounts do serve an ad from time-to-time. Again, it is occasional, but from what my child has experienced, it does happen even with educational accounts (they have since moved to using Google Drive, although it is cumbersome since there are no features such as playlists).

Maybe sounds more like it was bought for the "Centre for Meteorite Studies at Arizona State University"?
Not necessarily a lot.

Usually you estimate the charge left in a battery by checking the voltage. An ideal voltmeter has infinite resistance. An affordable mechnical voltmeter might have 100,000 ohms of resistance while testing a battery. Simple electronic voltmeters (like the vacuum tube voltmeters they had in my high school physics lab) get into the millions, precision test gear today has billions of ohms of resistance.

Now it takes a little power to power the voltmeter, but not a lot. A cheap DVM isn't much more complex than a 1970s digital watch. A smoke detector has a low battery detector that is good for years.

If you just want to know if a alkaline AA battery is good or not, checking the voltage is good enough.

When the battery is under load, the amount of voltage drops, and when the load is released you often see the battery voltage recover gradually over the course of a minute or so. A good discharge controller would be built with that phenomenon in mind.
Never send DNS queries into a VPN. They are all logged along with the originating client IP.

If your VPN provider claims they "don't log" it just means they're tagging the query with your IP as it leaves their network and letting their upstream ISP do the logging.

Never, ever, send UDP/53 traffic into a VPN.
M1 mini doesn’t have a battery. I assume you mean the M1 MacBook?

I hate AMP so much, breaks my browsing all the time.
So you want someone to compare a starting at $699 m1 Mac to a $10k top of the line pro machine?

That you are even interested in this shows how great the m1 chip performs, but as a comparison This is pretty useless.
I would be willing to pay YouTube to opt out of ads

But you can?
> I would love to see if the MacBook Air can work while outside in direct hot sun

I'm not optimistic. An unused iPhone 7 will go into an overheating error state if left in direct sunlight on a British summer's day. I don't know how newer models cope.
There's already several articles about Google on the front page. I'm curious why they would be making moves to avoid an anti-trust lawsuit on the one hand with its scaling back of using AMP; while on the other hand, they seem to be actively using their monopoly with YT to generate ad revenue by forcing it on the content creators.

This puts a lot of people in a bad situation. There's no real recourse because the platform has so many users dependent on it, and its not easy to simply yank all of your content and go to another platform. The logistics of doing so are cumbersome and time consuming.

I don't know what the long term solution is, but this just seems very unreasonable. When you're business becomes so reliant on Google, you don't have any alternative but to just take what they do to you as a part of doing business with them.

Excuse the hyperbole, I don't want to judge, I just genuinely think it's an interesting dilemma.

Would you write software needed to support a genocide? Would you consider someone complicit if they did? I'm assuming no and yes, but where do we draw the line? How much bad stuff can I do in the name of professionalism before I should start worrying about moral aspects?
Does YouTube get a cut?
My personal thought - there's a hell of a lot more software written for x86 Mac than there ever was for PowerPC Macs. It would make sense to provide the transational layer for a longer amount of time.

That said, Apple has never been shy about aggressive transitions.
The thing that frustrated me most from an e-commerce perspective, is that Google were pushing AMP shopping experiences and claiming improved user experience, but provided no data to support this.
It's not Googles job to push 'industry wide-best practices' to third parties.
I think it looks OK! I haven't used it directly, but I have done a number of growth-hacking/web-scraping tasks with scalpel[0] which actually uses tagsoup under the hood. It worked great, and it has a nice API.

Jet engines have a thrust to weight ratio of about 10.
The power is not so interesting as a lot of the thrust comes from heating the air. Ie the compressor might work at 40 MW and turbine also then of course extracts 40 MW from the airflow.

I'm not sure why one couldn't build an electric supersonic aircraft. It would have very short range. The design presented, could be made more aerodynamic by fairing the motors. Leave a hole in the tip for cooling air. Add a compressor for low speed cooling if needed. Alternatively have liquid cooling.

You could also have a design where the airflow is slowed down in a duct, compressed by a fan and then expanded. The duct would be heavy though. But it might obviate some problems with the free stream propeller.
First, that's absolutely bonkers. Second, I think you've got a copy-paste error somewhere... I thought the mini was mains-powered. What does 91% battery mean there?
Excellent video. We have the tech and skill to reconstruct reality, at the same time we do not possess the skill to let reason rule critical parts of our (here: Beirut's) infrastructure.

As humankind, we are probably closer than ever to hassle free life and we will nevertheless go down skirmishing and fighting.
But also if enough of them move to a new platform, this will hugely boost that platform.

Time to ditch YouTube I guess.

I understand they want to be _profitable_ by forcing users to pay those $9.99/month, but this aggressive campaign against free users is really really bad.
I doubt they would try to bury missiles under the ice. The US tried to build a base underground in ice in Greenland and it was was abandoned due to shifting ice. The last thing you want is your missile silo tipping over or squeezing what's inside.

Even those people have specific salary ranges. They still are commodities or as the corp-speak put it: "assets". More expensive ones, for sure, but still the same rules apply. My living cost will be a hugr factor of my salary even in these positions. Speaking from experience.

However, even if that wasn't the case, even if what you say is valid, these are inherently limited jobs so it's not a solution everyone can apply.
Should the products of dead people not be monetizable? How about selling a Van Gogh painting?
Awesome -- that's what I'm looking for... but now I wish there was some explanation as to why a $699 machine is doing things that previously you needed a $4000 machine to do. I look forward to learning more!
AMD EPYC enables this and Google has GA'd it, soon will also GA confidential GKE.
If AMP becomes irrelevant, does this end the war against URLs? Or, with Google owning the most popular browser, does this not matter?
Population level intention-to-treat (giving a box of masks, or condoms, to people and asking them to use them) RCT studies also show, at best, weak and inconclusive statistical evidence that condoms work against STDs or unwanted pregnancies.

No, what he meant is that creators can pay YouTube/Google to not put ads on all of their videos for all of their audience, not YouTube Premium.
Is battery consumption linear though? For example I can use my phone for half a day and battery will go down to 50%, then the remaining 50% lasts for maybe an hour.
