I miss this feature on youtube. I think it is pretty useful. I haven't came across anything that does this.

Just make sure you let people organize, clean up that list.

This is especially useful for long videos.

That seems rather old data for a tech community?
On Coursera, if I remember right, the first course gets you to the point where you have a CPU that can run machine language and an assembler. They give you an assembly version of Tetris that will run on what you built.

In the second course you build the programming language that could be used to write Tetris, though I don't think you actually go through it as an exercise.
While I agree with a lot of your comments, I was alarmed by your Patrick Henry misquote. He was arguing FOR the Bill of Rights, not against it.

I thought the article was pretty careful to attribute the rise of canning more to psychological factors than to household budgets:

In times of economic insecurity like the last recession in 2009, when McClellan started her Food in Jars blog, people turned to canning to soothe their fears, and mason jar sales took off.

...

“When there are these big downfalls of trust in systems of government or economy or institutions, there’s this desire to retain control wherever we can find it,” she says.
I think I got a headache from it as well. It was really not a great experience. Can't imagine being someone that worked there.
>First of all, the video uploader is promoting a competitor to YouTube. This is not disclaimed clearly.

If you're referring to the nebula ad at the end, he and other youtubers have been advertising it for months, if not years now. No other video with a nebula ad has been shadow banned like this.

Also, trying to paint this as "Youtube isn't promoting it" is disingenuous. Youtube is hiding it from people who've explicitly asked to be notified about his videos.
You seemingly don't know what a docking station actually is.
My guess for PHP scoring higher than Rust is that people love to hate on PHP - it's practically the HN national sport!

NB! I'm not arguing for or against PHP, and don't want to take this thread on THAT particular tangent!
The police aren’t the causality though, they’re a component of response to crime. Crime is the issue and that will never be a 0 sum thing.
I allway wondered why there is nothing like that. Also why DEX is not pushed more. I'm still waiting for something like HP tried with there Elite X3 phone. Just connect my phone to a notebook and just use the display and keyboard from the notebook, while the data and CPU is used from the phone.
WSL2 doesn't really cut it. Can't use my own window manager/desktop environment, graphics are kinda slow and sluggish, hardware passthrough is worse than in vmware, etc.

It might be ok for the occasional Linux tool, but I want the other thing: the occasional windows tool, but the rest to be Linux.
I think what you’re saying goes to show that the US needs to go beyond the idea that it’s a great country because of its founding myths.

Americans need to define greatness based on what they are and what values they currently promote, as opposed to basing it on hagiographies of about 20 men from the 18th century.
I'm happy to defend the principle and oppose what happened, but I think you're confused about the mechanism here. The anti-cancel-culture tribe isn't a natural or pre-existing political grouping; it's just the growing set of people whose positions have become cancellable. Within a few years, I expect that stances against shadowbanning and maybe even proposals to abolish the CIA will get you categorized as part of the anti-cancel-culture tribe.
For the record in case anyone goes back this far in the comments, this exchange did finally push me over the edge and I ordered a new router.
Why are they going off and doing their own thing instead of improving and using anbox?

EDIT: I don't normally ask why my comments are downvoted but I feel like the two people who did must know more than I do and probably have a good answer to my question. Why did you downvote this?
Oh noooo! I was so excited, then they lost me at Go.

Dream bigger: why is Kubernetes so complex? Re-inventing what we already have. Why is it so complex? Lack of standards, lack of flexibility, too much focus on features.

A Linux system has a lot of complexity, but it very rarely gets in the way of the other bits, and it can [mostly] all be replaced as needed. Why? ABI compatibility, kernel-userland split, a big collection of independent composeable tools, a framework that provides everything you need but doesn't force you to use it in the most difficult way, and definitely doesn't force "patterns" on you (like "deployment").

On top of Linux, we've built the world's most advanced and wide-ranging systems, particularly because it's not opinionated. It gives you just enough rope and bamboo to build a hovel or a skyscraper. It is not modern, it isn't the best design, it doesn't force you into the minutia of understanding the system.

A new Kubernetes should either be stupidly simple, or incorporate itself into the OS, since the OS already has most if not all of the components of Kubernetes. They're just not being used properly.
I'm glad I'm not the only one. I hold my breath walking past Lush shops.

Sometimes I have to use the fairly fancy department store in Copenhagen (Magasin). I often walk all the way round, so I can enter in… handbags or something, I don't know, I just know it doesn't smell. The more convenient entrance is to the perfume section, which makes me gag.

I have no problem with person-quantity perfume. I found the signs in California about a "scent-free workplace" a bit strange. Some shops just have enough perfume to knock out a horse.

(Many years ago, I had a job working in a chocolate factory for the summer. I couldn't eat chocolate for the whole summer, after the 8 hour exposure every day, but it wasn't unpleasant. I bet there are food industry jobs where the smell really is unpleasant.)
I'm still salty that the macOS Notification Center was introduced as a "for-pay" API as it initially worked only on AppStore apps and then on signed apps.

I'm still not sure if it works on unsigned apps, but considering all apps must be notarized on macOS, it doesn't really matter anymore.
Reality is just one big Jojo reference
I'd always hoped that extended attributes (xattr) would be used for something like that. Nobody seems to use them, though, since they are optional and no standard naming scheme exists.
Politics in Academia: A Case Study
Then why have police killings gone up despite crime going down?

Also, why are police dispatched for non-violent crimes? I don't think someone with a gun and a license for violence should be sent out for any report of a non violent crime.
A single moth had a mutation that made it wings ever so slightly scaled in a way the absorbed a tiny fraction of bat sonar. This allowed it to reproduce slightly more than the rest of the population, so its mutation was reinforced.
At first I suspected peoples world view was build on compound falsehoods. I couldn't help but pay attention to this concept. I had to rub my eyes a few times wondering if I was not simply seeing what I was hoping to find. At later age I was seeing the unquestioned bullshit all around me. Then came a stage where I repeatedly noticed my own subscriptions to nonsense and the erroneous mindset that one would logically build on top - repeatedly, again and again! I had to learn to carefully avoid telling people how things really work which worked wonderfully with repeatedly discovering that my revised world view was almost as wrong as the previous iteration. That said, I learn a lot from people still naive enough to speak their unconventional mind. Their topics of interest are not half as interesting as the route to their world view.

I don't want to give an example since those usually get confused for the subject but I'll share 2 things that made me laugh at the time: 1) I use to think people are logical beings. I believed the first half of my life that we act based on logic and reason. Then one day I noticed this is simply something I like to believe to be true. That I can think this without a shred of evidence is evidence in it self of the opposite. 2) We build, create and design to make things as easy and convenient as possible for ourselves and for other people. Comfort is taken on faith as a valid goal so obvious that it needs not be questioned. In the process we distance ourselves from the core mechanics of our existence and we fail to challenge our mind as well as our body. If we can build the apparatus we are happy to forget how to tie our shoes. We no longer need to know what we can eat in the forest, when to plant crops, how to make all of those nice wooden things, how to forge metals, how to have a productive conversation (which requires disagreement) we think we benefit from calling that taxi but what we really needed was the 3 km walk in the sun or snow, fresh air and to see those birds fly over that old tree. Even the shoes are a solution to their own problem.

You can find it by going to his youtube channel, but it doesn't show up in searches or in subscriptions if you're subscribed to him.
There are browser extensions that simply lets you save all (or some selection of) images that load on a website. Maybe that's good enough if you can't find one that has proper support for Facebook groups.
I imagine you could quite quickly just click through the material and save it. Won't work for text or metadata like descriptions/titles I guess...
Go to the Blazor homepage. Right there on the front page--the 2nd bullet point is "Run on WebAssembly or the server".

Most people I've talked to using Blazor are in fact using Blazor server not Blazor WASM.
Do everything badly appears to be the Microsoft mantra.
The definition at the outset of the article is accurate, and consistent with what I said:

>>Institutional racism, also known as systemic racism, is a form of racism that is embedded as normal practice within society or an organization.

Anything "embedded as normal practice" is either part of the formal rules of the organization, or its informal social contract, just as I described.

Much of the rest of the article doesn't describe anything systemic or institutional, or it doesn't describe racism, so yes it's blatantly inaccurate. Wikipedia is articles that any one can edit, and when there is such an extreme ideological bias in the Humanities and Social Sciences, there is always the risk that the articles begin to reflect ideological conceptions of these terms, that don't match the words that the terms contain, like "institutional" and "racism".

>>I'm curious to know about what year you think, approximately, that systemic racism against black Americans ceased?

I think the end of Jim Crow laws was the end of most institutional racism, with some remnants of it existing in the social contract that was quickly dismantled in the 1970s, as society took a severe stance against anti-black discrimination.

But now we have institutional sexism and racism in favor of groups that are deemed to be disadvantaged, like women and black Americans.

>>You have just decided to entirely redefine the accepted definition of systemic/institutional racism so suit your argument.

Accepted by who? I don't accept the socialists' definition of "slavery" or "expropriation of surplus value", to include workers earning a wage, and investors earning a profit, respectively, either.
Children are taught to not question what they're told, because it's much easier on parents and teachers when children don't question what they're told. Then when they're adults they lack any kind of critical thinking skills because they've been miseducated and they're easy targets for disinformation.

To me, the solution is obviously better education. When people believe the Earth is round only because that's what they were told, it's not that hard for a clever talker to convince them the Earth could be flat. When people know the Earth is round because they actually understand the physics behind it, there's no way you're ever going to convince them the Earth is flat.

Instead of admitting our education system has failed, people's ignorance is being used as an excuse to tighten control over the media even further.

I tried to build a Google Reader alternative when Google Reader was first about to die, well a bit prior to it because it was missing the idea of grouping similar articles. I started investing in the product but kept building instead of launching. By the time I had it all built and ready to run it was extremely slow, untested adequately at scale and I didn't have a way to make money on it. Also, I didn't have enough money to sustain it.

I cut bait but after a few years because I was building it for me, and just succumbed to using News360. They made something similar to what I wanted but not exactly what I wanted.

The next time, it will be something that makes money on its own right away. Ideally just a basic POC and a landing page to get the first customer.
DRM on books is about the rights holder, not the person selling it. I can assure you that Amazon doesn’t actually give a shit what you do with your books outside of having an obligation to the rights holders.
This also didn’t make sense to me. It’s not an inverse. So where is the actual logical link?
So for 19 civilian killings the police kill one person? I wonder what would be a "reasonable" share given the amount of violent criminals.
Yeah, that was a huge oversight on my part and thank you for bringing it up! I added an edit to the original comment to correct it/apologize (based on another comment mentioning the same thing).
IMO Unix hasn't taken over as much as people think it has. If you look at an OS more closely they typically have a POSIX API layer on top of whatever unique ideas they have. Even Linux does quite a lot of its own thing.
There are many videos promoting competitors to YouTube that don't get shadow banned, nor visits from Homeland Security. For example The Legal Eagle channel always promotes a competitor to YouTube, as paid advertising in each video.
Not that I am aware. I remember seeing apple doing something it in software with the intel macs. Which is why I speculated about it being hardware for M1.

The kernel doesn't necessarily know how much physical memory is installed. It doesn't need to. It only needs to know how much physical memory it can use, and where it lives in physical address space. On PCs, that is provided by the firmware at boot time via the e820 map (or via a UEFI method these days, and there is also the multiboot standard which GRUB will use to pass the info along to the booted kernel).

Therefore, there is no portable way to obtain that information that is guaranteed to work, because some platforms might not even provide it at all. Only if the kernel has/needs drivers that interact with the physical memory controller directly, or gets platform metadata such as via DMI, is this information readily available.
That might be true, but these posts have been on reddit/hn for years. You'd think that if there was some sort of effort to harass people making these posts that we'd stop seeing them and/or hear more people speaking out about government harassment.
I started programming in the 70s, on Z80s and a PDP-11. Then I moved to the Apple IIe. Also got a bit of early exposure to MS-DOS in the early 80s. When I first was able to get my hands on an Amiga 1000 (my friend got one as a graduation present), it completely blew my mind. The Amiga is still my favorite, and I have several that still boot up and work fine, even though they are quite a bit older than my kids, who do not always boot up and work. :) There are a bunch of things I still miss when working with Windows (for "work"), even though it is well documented that Microsoft ripped off a bunch of ideas and features from the Amiga (and early Macs). There are, of course, some things I've gotten used to in the intervening years, like increased CPU speeds, but the UI of my old Amigas is actually sometimes more performant than a brand new machine running a modern OS with thousands (or millions) of times the available resources. Go figure.
This has issues on many levels, but most importantly f(a, b)=a+b is not invertible.
We have long reached the point where, if we want to keep making analogies between social media and analogue media (pun intended), then we need to compare social media to a publication with an editor.

Demonetization, age-gating, recommendation engines, bans, shadowbans and their subtler varieties are many-2-many media's equivalent of an editor. Every one impacts the distribution of a video on youtube. Every one of these also impacts what content gets made/posted, because views are like currency.

It doesn't matter if it's algorithmic, and it doesn't matter if there are other reasons for (eg) demonetisation to exist. It's still an editor. You need to make the editor happy to succeed on youtube. The single difference between an editor and a censor is scale. If you edit all the magazines, magazines are censored.

The innocuous type example for censorship is (as usual) pornography. IDK what the consequences of posting pornography and its juniors (nudity, etc) on youtube, but they're obviously sufficient to make youtube mostly nudity free. It's not because no one wants raunchy videos. The same toolkit can be used (and is) to make any kind of content more or less prevalent on youtube.

It's funny that "section 230" is being mentioned by so many under informed politicians and pundits. Changing 230 is unlikely to "fix" the problem, considering that most politicians obviously don't even understand the problem. But section 230 at least captures the main part of the problem. Youtube is not "dumb pipes." Youtube is a content business, and they have a lot of control over content. It's not direct, "delete this segment" control like they have at FOX, but it is editing nonetheless. At youtube, twitter or FB scale, editing is censorship.
> You mean people who are interested in analysis of history? You don't want to consider it. That's fine...oh wait...what about:

I never said that. I was criticisng how he was analysing it. Today there is a habit of denouncing all the progress someone did in the past because their attitudes and actions at the time weren't up today's standards.

> Some people argue people rode Dinosaurs. That's about as compelling, as well. For the most of the cultures that contributed to writing portions of the Bible, religious text was law.

The point is that a combination of things that culminated in Europe (partly because of Christianity but not wholly) resulted in the secular societies we have in the Western world today. I will remind you just because you don't find it compelling doens't mean that it isn't valid. I think there is little bit of truth to it, but I don't think it tells nearly the whole story.

I know that many people seem to think that Christians are fundamentalist lunatics like Ken Ham, but most aren't.

> The point is about intent, which is relevant. "less perfect" or whatever that's supposed to mean to you, is irrelevant. This is history, not a relative comparison of ideals.

Less perfect means that "It was a step in the right direction". This isn't really difficult to grok.

> Sure you can. Confusing Moral analysis and Contextual analysis is noise.

You really shouldn't. It distorts people's view of history.

> Characters are caricatures (incomplete) if you ignore known qualities. Interestingly enough, while you are objecting strongly to the characterization you could have noted that bladegash might have been wrong about the Patrick Henry quote.

I am not an American, I don't know anything about the people involved and don't claim to. I was simply commenting on the fact that people seem to view history through the standards of today.

> Maybe spend more time researching, instead of emotionally posting.

I did no such thing.
We badly need more competition in the OS space. Perhaps Android can become an open standard for application delivery, with commercial vendors and non-profits competing in providing runtime environments.
Active cooling in handheld devices is really underrated.

I understand not having it if they're water proof but most aren't.
Personally I prefer the plethora of OSes approach, and I never been a big UNIX fan to start with.

Yes it does have a couple of nice ideas, and it was much better to use than Windows 3.x + MS-DOS, but that is about it.

All the UNIX based OSes that I really appreciate, have moved beyond it, namely NeXTSTEP, Solaris/NeWS, Irix, Plan 9/Inferno.

Thankfully only BSD and GNU/Linux are stuck into being a continuum of UNIX clones without much to add, when you see their conferences it always boils down to kernel features or filesystems.

GNU/Linux has the ingredients to make an Amiga like desktop experience, with D-BUS, GNOME/KDE, but the fragmentation and love for POSIX CLI applications just doesn't make it worthwhile to try to make it work.

Look at iOS, macOS, Android, Windows (UWP), GenodeOS, Fuchsia, Haiku, Azure Sphere for the pursuit of modern ideas in OS research. The fact that some of those have a POSIX like kernel (or deeply customise Linux kernel) it is just an implementation detail of the overall architecture.

>Edit based on comment below (thank you Supermancho): Patrick Henry's quote above was related to the absence of the Bill of Rights and was an Anti-Federalist.

This is confusing. Had to read 5-10 comments down to understand your edit.

If patrick henry wasn't against bill of rights then remove it from your original statement.

And then place the errata statement / disclaimer at the end.

Sample: I previously claimed that Patrick... Thanks to supermacho for the correction.
It is pretty crazy to think that Babylon 5 had better special effects than TNG (in my opinion) and did it for cheap on the Amiga compared to Industrial Lights and Magic that TNG used.
Where are you getting that from? It's 10%, i.e. roughly one police killing per 10 civilian killings.

Read the article I linked and compare to other countries as well as historically.
You forgot landed and rich. Which is understandable since the point of history classes in the US is to divide the working class along whatever lines they can, currently race and gender. Previously ethnicity, religion, language, etc

I'd venture to say nobody complaining on this thread will do anything about it other than complain on this thread. No calls to representatives, no nothing.

That quote is often attributed to Voltaire, but, sadly, it actually belongs to Kevin Alfred Strom, a white nationalist.[0]

Networking is the most befuddling thing in k8s. I really don’t see how they got from borg to that. I think they thought that people just wouldn’t accept the free-for-all borg model. But I’d rather have some slight complexity in my name service (DNS sucks anyway) than configure networking in k8s.
