This citation of Oscar Wilde made me curious. It's from his essay The Soul of Man under Communism[1], which turns out to be a really good counterview to the article itself.

I thought small games are small in size, not short in gameplay.
Yes, just posting on a forum alone puts you in the tiny minority of consumers. There are huge swaths of people that barely like to read content, let alone write.

Look at how many youtube videos dominate search results with hundreds of thousands of views for “how to” X when X is trivially described in a few lines of text.
> And handoff took its sweet time but it has been supported for a while now between iOS and Firefox on Mac.

Only from iOS to macOS, not the other way around - at least not with Safari on iOS (I don't use Firefox on iOS).
As usual, I am not surprised to see this thread devolve into name calling and strawmanish idealist arguments.
Could mass production conceivably reduce the cost of such full wafer chips below $100k? Interesting to note that at nvidia “professional-purpose” GPU extortion racket prices, this would be a $60m chip. (Every single day, it pisses me off that my Quadro K6000 cost me $6k, and was necessary in order for the nvidia driver to not be intentionally broken when I run CAD/CAM software).

Are you somehow implying that these musical icons don't know their scales? Please tell me that's not what you're doing.
The current renaissance of Nagle’s Algorithm-related blog posts was something none of us saw coming.
Tao is likely inviting us (just as many physical/probabilistic laws do) to view any arbitrary function as relatively "thicker"/"fuzzier" than an infinitely-thin, infinitely-tall spike function at a certain value: the Dirac delta function (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirac_delta_function). If you convolve ≡ integrate this Dirac delta function (located at some value x) against any function g(t), by construction the integral is zero everywhere except at t=x, so the result is an infinitely thin slice of g at x, exactly g(x) (the 'sifting property,' https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/1015498/convolution...).
Now imagine you begin to thicken/fuzz the spike; now you begin to accumulate the behavior of g(t) not just exactly at x, but also at points nearby, getting a schmeared representation of g. Deforming our spike to an arbitrary function of interest in this way gives an arbitrary convolution schmear.
which inherited it from C.
But that is the total revenue for all ads. You hardly made up anywhere near 0.1% of that.
I do believe that if you actually calculated the value that you contributed to that sum, you would agree that the value you got back was greater.
I can't imagine I'd be even 50% as productive at my job if I didnt have access to the tools google provides for free.
This is very cool, but for me the problem has always been the repeatability of demo videos. I make a demo video of our product, and two weeks later that demo is out of date and now I need to make the same video again.

Additionally, the need to add fake CSS pseudo classes to get it to work with focus, etc. seems like a bummer.

Nonetheless, seems like a nice compact way to make and share demos, so well done!
V8 and SpiderMonkey extensively interpret, before functions are marked hot and traced, and every time they are deoptimized from failed guards.
I know because the author's project, safe-buffer, is obviously open source, and you can look at it on his github. It is 65 lines long, and mostly boilerplate. And what isn't boilerplate isn't even particularly complicated code (which is a good thing) - it just adds a few common sense safety checks to the Buffer class.

> Why not?

Nothing's wrong with that. But if the author doesn't do it, I won't call him an ungrateful asshole and berate him on twitter.

But that would also make your device even more uniquely identifiable which is a massive security flaw in my opinion.

edit: I think it is plainly incorrect to brush off fears about DRM deployment and device lock down. This technology was specifically invented for it, there is evidence and direct statements from manufacturers about this.
I enjoy their joking tone in "whatever planet you are from", but it still highlights the absurdity of our (human) "public land" regulation.
I'm not saying that proof-of-stake is bad, but it does change the way the network functions, because it locks capital and therefore affects the velocity of money in the network.

It also changes the distribution of mined coin. Whereas currently it takes an equal mining cost to reap an equal reward, proof-of-stake rewards those who already have enough to stake. This is essentially a recreation of the inflation system we have in the fiat world, where printed money first goes to the government, who can spend it at its current value, eventually having it entropy out to other users through spending, at reduced purchasing power. This makes the rich richer, and increases inequality of savings in the network.

So it's not exactly the same refrigerator, so to speak.
There is always someone that takes the most egregious examples they can find and then say "well if don't have strong government this will happen" ignoring all proportion and scale to any of these matters and the current reality we live in.

It is simply a deflection from the central point that frequently the state will involve itself in things that it really shouldn't be involving itself in. This is frequenly because it must justify its ever increasing size. Saying that the state should have well defined responsibilities shouldn't be controversial. What those should be is a different conversation.
Any idea why you were getting them? I also had 2 months of migraines and headache issues recently and don't know why.

Yes, there's an on-prem version of CodeScene that can be run on private servers. The latest release is described here: https://codescene.com/blog/architectural-analyses-simplified...

To analyse Perforce, you setup an automated conversion to a read-only Git repo that you then point the analysis to.
why the http overhead ?
The advert contents is still delivered from 3rd party servers, so on Android you can side-load Blokada, which provides host-based ad-blocking. It runs as a local VPN routing all traffic through it, and blocks the ad hosts. You'll probably still see advert place holders in a lot of apps, and on my phone at least I have to be vigilant that the OS doesn't kill the VPN process, but it's well worth it.
Some of the images do not load when Javascript is disabled because the web developer has chosen to include three different-sized copies of the same image and use Javascript to emulate a "zoom" effect.

Quick fix: remove the <noscript> tags

Note you can still zoom on these images. Right-click and open the image in a new tab, then zoom. Or you can open the larger versions in a browser tab and then zoom. The full URLs for all different-sized copies of images can be seen with view source.

Or you could just skip the Bitcoin part...
Unless I'm entirety mistaken, the point behind the DRM shenanigans is for the manufacturer to monopolize the maintenance and repair value chain.
That's addressed in the post too. They make their demos as Selenium scripts so in many cases they can simply re-record the demo when the UI changes.
> This attack happened on the same day that I watched a video link of my nan’s funeral. All I wanted to do was spend time with my daughter but the attack meant that I had to be on my computer from morning to night. This day was so stressful and I was emotionally wiped.

This breaks my heart to read. I hope you're not called to make such decisions too often.
1. Yes, absolutely. Multiple ways probably.

2. Stopping is the goal, it’s just that sometimes that means killing... but...

3. Is killing is always wrong? Almost every society and religion has a concept of justified homicide. Sometimes people can act in a way that forfeits their right to walk among us. I don’t accept “guns can kill” is an argument against guns. It’s basically the feature that makes them so desirable for defense. When you have a life or death problem, you are going to call a cop because they will bring a gun. Some of us are skipping that middleman for efficiency.

I’ve made good in my soul that I can take a life if it meant defense of self, family, or other. If you can’t do that, then by all means don’t own a firearm, no one will force you to. We just ask you don’t try and make that decision for us.

But, none of it has to do with “feeling” safe.
I take you’re in favor of mass shootings
Google was very good (arguably better) in the era before they acquired Doubleclick.
If you were charging, how much would you charge to set up a server that you literally never have to bounce to get it back up?
Cool, except so-called renewable energy sources still built using non-renewable materials.

There also physical limits to efficiency of energy transformation and slightly less heat loss per unit of energy with much more energy production is not exactly what climate needs right now.
I’m 40, been trying hard to not be a generalist and currently working for a saas startup that’s finally doing ok I very much feel this. For about twenty years I’ve assumed every next job I take I’m starting from scratch. Hang in there and don’t doubt your skills and experience.

Feel free to market your startup in a reply here, may or may not be relevant to me, but get it out there :)
Yup with a minimum 1 year commitment.
Be happy that a chorus of voices seems to agree!
Army and Navy laws, Cruikshanks v. US, point systems for handguns, gun control in CA are irredeemably motivated by the fear of giving black men the means to defend themselves and their rights.
Besides, you can simplify the Python side of things without touching the database side of things with mixins.
As I said above, just because something happens for one reason in one place doesn’t mean that same thing can’t happen for a different reason in a different place.

The reason Isreal has so many cats is because the British imported a lot of cats in the 30s, and just let them loose to control rat populations. The reason they’re still there is because animal sterilization is a very controversial topic in Judaism.
Their recommendations are not designed to make you happy, but to optimize their business. They are driving you to ads, not joy.

The ML PhDs could be working just fine. You won’t know.
I guess you could. But the presence of Bitcoin and proof-of-work actually speeds up the competition in the renewable energy space by making it more profitable than it otherwise would be. That's a good thing, it gets us to the world we want more quickly.
Indeed, yes. Not all rural areas have good medical facilities. Many only have mobile services that shuttle diagnostic samples etc.
Without those pesky users computing wouldn't be as successful. Windows isn't secure enough to use it in government or IOT in my opinion, aside from office software for clerks.

But if it is not aimed at end users, I am sure a simple switch will help. Somehow I doubt we will see it.
How much caffeine does your wife consume (if so)?
Knowing when not to talk is particularly important for people in leadership positions. A manager coming into a meeting and blurting out what they think about everything is a sure fire way to stifle creative debate in their team. While some people will step up and disagree with "the boss" many will not.

I wrote a bit of a thing that touched on this a while back [0] and, based on the feedback I got, I think a lot of managers do this without realizing it. Many managers feel the need to break the silence if the team isn't engaging. If you feel this need, do so with a question instead.

Fully agree! That's why I recommend to monitor the code health trends continuously -- the earlier we can catch any potential issues, the better: https://codescene.io/projects/167/jobs/55946/results/warning...

What a fucking dystopia that would be.
Random question: did you or still do consume caffeine? If so, how much?
Haven't heard these points before but I'm not sure that they apply to proof-of-work specifically.
How does it compare to the TS100?
We had TCP performance issues on leased lines EU-Singapore at the time of the article (2005) and ended up using sockets with the TCP_NODELAY flag to disable Nagle. And tuning window sizes, of course.
Don't forget lavishly paid speeches and inexplicably popular books of memoirs.
I find nix pills hard to digest since they use the repl, and for a newbie it's hard to see how they apply to real-world packing of something like a python application.

If the ISP charges you a monthly fee for the modem/router (you are "leasing" the modem), and you have been a long-term customer, you may have already paid the full price of the modem; yet you do not own it.

Let's say the customer connects their own Wifi router to the ISP modem/router via Ethernet cable. There is no need for the ISP modem/router's Wifi AP. Does the ISP modem/router allow the customer to disable it?

Until iOS14 you actually had no way to set another default browser and email-client.

Or you just add financial incentives in the form of subsidies for green energy and extra tax burden for other sources, no need to involve bitcoin.
> Each should (and outside of artificial constructs like this article does) weigh total compensation against benefit / effort and decide if the relationship is worth continuing.

Really fucking hard to do that if you are an employee with no power, easily replaceable and dependent on the job to keep you and your family alive.

This kind of hand waving real social struggles down to "they should just personally negotiate and be able to walk away from the deal if it's not good for them" is, at best, myopic. At worst is a lack of empathy and a very narrow worldview of labour.
Proof of work still has value in creating demand for excess renewable power generation in regions that can provide it, e.g. https://www.coindesk.com/chinese-city-known-for-bitcoin-mini...

Could that energy go to better (which is subjective of course) things? Sure, but if it's not and there is demand as well as excess supply it incentivises energy companies to at least _keep up_ with what they currently provide.
Homicide rates are publicly available per country by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime.

Yes. You can sue somebody for stealing from you in civil xourt even if they are found not guilty (or more commonly, not proesecuted) for theft in criminal court and win. It happens all the time.

Do you consume caffeine btw? Would you say that it affected your migraines possitively/negatively if so?
Double counting an axle is a critical failure for an axle counter. It could keep a track section blocked until someone comes to fix the axle counter. Even worse it could unblock a track section while there's still (part of) a train on it.

If you're worried about double-counting an axle you probably need to design your axle counters better.
So, I went to youtube.com right now to check what my recommendations are. Lately I've been watching a few videos about music theory, and some old jazz stuff. And now YT recommends pages and pages of music theory.. hundreds of videos. All the recommendations (useful ones) I saw in the past, about history, old computers, natural sciences.. all gone. I would prefer a slightly more balanced approach from their algorithms.
All is that my mother wrote her memoirs on an Amstrad and the pages came flying out. When the machine finally broke an she was compelled to buy a PC with Word to complete the book she faltered. The wysiwyg did nothing for her.

Could have been a matter of older age but I remember the same happened to data input operators at work that switched from DOS applications to mouse based programs. Productivity plummeted.
Maybe if we waited a bit between posts we could have combined them all into one?
I agree with this, which is why the idea of fusion energy is both exciting and terrifying (and why governments may even be hesitant to disclose breakthroughs). In the theoretical ideal, fusion energy would provide such a surplus of energy that it could rewrite borders and trade deals overnight.

There are many existing processes that basically turn energy into money. It's called energy intensive industry. So far instead of pushing for renewables, companies making their money this way were a major hindrance in clean energy investments.
Do you have any examples of this? I've been interested in building this Pi camera using a lens with a shallow depth of field, but it's very hard to figure out a lens to get that will work with the Pi, look right if mounted from around 2 to 3 feet away, and have a decent quality picture.

After spending a bunch of time researching, I got this feeling if I pursue this project I'll end up with hundreds of dollars of bad lenses and just wish I would have bought a real DSLR or mirrorless camera that connects via USB.

What do you do when you want it to be legal for some people and illegal for other people? Make an opaque approval process and don’t approve very many people. My understanding based on some details I heard a few years ago (so I am no expert) is that this is exactly what happened.
I started experiencing migraines 2 years ago. Just had a 2 month bout of them where at one point I had 3 in a week.

Initially I thought that my BJJ training was the issue as there was a direct correlation between training, exertion, neck strain and migraines the next day. But they progressed to migraines from the gym (weights), after a meal and one drink, and even for no apparent reason. I still think there is a link between neck strain which is exacerbated by computer use and eye strain.

Sumatriptan saved my life. Maybe this could also help, in small doses.
>No we have people buying "cheap" Wi-Fi routers which are subsidized by their ability to be used by third parties for nefarious purposes.

You're assuming a) that the router is subsidized, and b) that the flaws are intentional. Neither are necessary, and neither make a lot of sense (why add a backdoor that anyone can exploit?)

It makes way more sense to consider this just another poorly made budget product. Same as anything else where sticker price is all that matters.
I see Apple adding RCS eventually without a whole lot changing. RCS messages will still remain green and Apple will continue to offer iMessage specific features that they won't add on the RCS side.
This argument of "trust no one, not even the sysadmin you employ" is actually "trust no one except me and this black box I'd like to sell you".
Even ignoring the externalities of this kind of push I don't really see the value.
Internet has some amazing learning resources these days. Not just articles like these and videos, but also interactive explorables. Even my 7yo was able to understand basic aspects of game theory and complex systems with the help of explorables made by NickyCase, MeltingAsphalt etc. Most recently, I taught myself to not just solve 4x4 Rubik's cube but understand its connections to ideas in abstract algebra such as commutators. I feel extreme gratitude for all the people who create such enlightening material and offer it freely, without asking for a paid subscription to their Udemy course.

It inspired me enough that I started creating a DMOZ-style catalog of learning resources as a FOSS project: https://github.com/learn-awesome/learn
I'd be checking for bugs in the js -- particularly as might be triggered from a bot environment that one or more of your customers might use to test their site or observe their sites latency response ...

puppeteer with setRequestInterception configured to block responses in the right way maybe https://github.com/puppeteer/puppeteer/blob/v5.5.0/docs/api.....

I can imagine nightmares along those lines that could persuade some normally functioning js client logic that works normally when in a normal network environment to continually reissue failed requests when browser requests/responses are blocked in just the wrong way -- that could cause the same client side ip to appear in logs over and over again.

And then ip variability could be the customer spinning up browser bots in various regions around the world in order to measure their sites region specific latency response.

Just offering up an alt theory -- as I'm with some of the others -- not sure the graphs shown immediately scream dos to me.
The problems with that are: 1. Newly built renewable energy goes to mining rigs, while the original demand still exists so coal mines remain. 2. Usage at peak generation means fewer reasons to build energy storage systems for quiet times (they're still handled by non-renewables).
