I discovered Pidgin in 2010. We could use chat system via a plug-in, and out school were using their "own" protocol for an internal chat system, AKA NetSoul.
You either had the choice of the CLI NetSoul client, a GTK one not-so-great, or a plug-in into that awesome thing that is Pidgin.

Nowadays I use it For Lync, the Business version of Skype.
Oh yes I would love it if we can post swag bounties
I mean, that's fine, but I take issue with one party having this massive megaphone to the world, with the other side having theirs completely snuffed.

Either ban them all, or ban none of them.
Right, and this is typically in the form of a planning condition where residents waive their right to cheap on-street parking (ie: no resident’s parking permits). Smaller Central London buildings typically wouldn’t provide off-street parking anyway, there just isn’t space!

Large, luxury developments often do still provide parking facilities, even in Central London. Transport for London sometimes makes attempts to get these reduced in size or eliminated, but hasn’t always succeeded.
There are medium-low stress jobs at FAANG. Well, maybe not Amazon.
Quick charging is a just in case solution and probably shouldn’t be relied on. It’s more efficient and likely much easier on the battery to slow charge it overnight.
I’m glad this comment got undead so I could upvote
What even is this? A board funded by Facebook is supposed to be some sort of neutral arbiter of what's allowed to be on their site?
When Winamp first came out, everything was single core. Decoding mp3 took a significant bite out available CPU. Winamp was relatively efficient in CPU in RAM, especially compared to WMP.
The comment you’re replying to is not trying to make the discussion about addiction. They are pointing out the absurdity of expecting a corporation to self-regulate itself in any meaningful way.

This Oversight Board is likely nothing more than a manufactured authority figure designed to sway public opinion by deflecting responsibility away from Facebook in regards to censorship. Don’t be surprised when this Oversight Board comes out in full support of how Facebook handled the situation.
a lot of discussion about gaming, but chris is talking in huge part about learning & especially interactivity.

I see huge parallels between the glossy veneer AAA video gaming world & the applications we eat the world with. we offer low to medium interactivity with the system, some strong guard rails, keep users on a narrow path. we engage users, but only narrowly, only as though they themselves are npcs, given a couple short scripts they can get up to functionality is predefined. the verb set offered is limited & bounded, not open.

I owe a lot more thought & consideration to these weighty claims, this is to casual an association & accusation to leave so unsupported, but I must value some efficiency over effectiveness right now or these thoughts will likely never make it out. good luck godspees & keep.openimg the mediums to more, to beyonds.
I have similar challenges. I want to reduce the time and effort required to select and start a task, while also improving my ability to focus on that task. It’s easy to lose 10 minutes over and over again through insufficient focus.
It's hard for me to take grandiose claims on this topic seriously when the background check files for every federal employee and contractor were exfiltrated from OPM back in 2015, allegedly by Chinese hackers. Just about everyone listed in the article is compromised in some way. Some goes for the rest of US citizens when you factor in the 2017 Equifax breach.

If you don't mind, what do you produce on your farm and how many do you hire. It seems like you would need a high output yield to generate millions or have a pretty large farm. Also how do you sell your produce/product? Direct to consumers? Through retail?

Also curious to know how you came to doing this. Did you see it as an opportunity or just went into it through family

Social Networks Are the Next Big Decentralization Opportunity
First of all, kudos for trying to find new ways to fund open source. Those are needed.

This approach might work well for issues which require a lot of thought, but produce a simple fix and can be easily merged

This might go horribly wrong if outside contributors try to implement a major feature to a project which they don't have a good mental model for, produce a large patch that may get rejected by maintainers, or end up being rewritten-by-code-review, which would cost such maintainers more time than if they implemented the feature in the first place.

It would be interesting to follow!

Government contracting is not at all indicative of how the free market works.

Also, the free market would never have built a design like the space shuttle. Pushing very heavy wings and landing gear into space doesn't make sense and never did.

At what point are battery swaps going to become more feasible than charging a battery (or at least an additional option). I’d much rather role into a gas/battery station and have my depleted battery swapped out with a fully charged one in 2 minutes and be on my way than sit at a Tesla supercharger for an hour.
I think people underestimate how much state ties people have. My wife’s family has been in Oregon for 150 years. They all still pretty much live there, a couple of hours from where their family homestead used to be. There’s a strong separatist (secessionist) streak in Oregon too.

Even here in Annapolis, an hour from DC, it seems like everyone is from here.

There is a reason, which is that regardless of how and why states were created, they are legally sovereign entities with their own separate governments.

A bunch of countries in the world were drawn on a map with boundaries set by the UN or the British. That doesn’t make them any less sovereign entities.

Showing a link to a site is "using their content"? What's really ridiculous is that this law would not allow them to not show a link to Australian news sites that are demanding payment either. The law is literally forcing Google to "use their content" (as you call it) and forcing them to pay for it.

They were forced to move to https://patriots.win/ after losing control of the domain. I think they've built an interesting Reddit alternative with what appears to be a solid effort from a small team. I don't mind topic-based communities that specifically state their goal is to promote an idea or a particular theme and banning off-topic content. If they create a general Politics community and then proceed to do that, yes, that would be hypocritical.

Facebook and Twitter have always branded themselves as trying to connect the world. And now they (along with other big tech cos) have grown actively hostile to the half of the U.S. at least that considers themselves conservative. That's a big issue.
Sure, there isn't a shortage of digital communication, but they are responsible for a large proportion of that communication and they hold the power of tilting democracies by choice of those in charge of the company or by seemingly random bearucratic decisions made by their employees. They are a medium of information distribution. If certain phone companies decide to not put through calls years ago in an effort to sway democracies, would that have been acceptable? They are a for profit business ruled by one individual that has extraordinary power. As a society, are we really supposed to just let them do whatever they want just because there are less popular alternatives?
Poor grammar in this title. Reads like Facebook advocates for decentralized social networks. Replace “it” with “user”.
Suppose I had $100M to blow. Could I build a fab in the USA that produced chips at, say, 65nm? I understand that a cutting-edge node like 7nm would be out of reach at that price point, but I'm curious what exactly is in reach.
Makes you wonder if half of what tech is doing that's turning incumbent industries upside down isn't software, but connecting people building things with business decisions.
Most people use "static" to mean that there is only one version of a response body. I guess denying access is technically a second version of the response body, but that's kind of a stretch because the layer where the body lives (ok, the two bodies: one for 200 and one for 403) doesn't need to be capable of business logic (like conditionals, db queries, etc.) during the request/response cycle. It uses them in perpetuity without tailoring them to the session.
That explains the explosion of scroll wheel complaints with the 3 over the 1 and 2.
Headline describes my day at work. Not involving Commodore code as with OP, but in a tool that transforms XML. A niche use case uses code which fails to escape ampersands into proper entity references. I hope the development team responsoble for said tool can correct that issue ASAP, but it's niche-ness gives me anxiety as they are currently moving full steam ahead on a product release. My bug is at least 5 years old - dwarfed by OP's 32-year one.
I think “when they have started creating their own pseudo court system” is when we should start breaking these companies up. Yeesh.

The bizarre opaqueness/projected importance of this is extremely off putting.
My experience workin with lawyers enforcing content policies for social media sites based on laws, I uh, can’t quite agree with you.

Example: recommended not to go to trail to keep questions & answers about math homework problems on a site because there was a successful argument that it’s illegal to copy/distribute the answer key to a copyrighted math textbook, so having them collected in a category on a website at scale would create an easy target for many publishers to litigate on some subset of content, and the content would be at high risk of being considered illegal under DMCA. (A good argument for decentralization, but leaves big gap in curation which many people consider critical)

Fun part is that this hasn’t been tested (or hadn’t since I was doing that stuff) but the fact that lawyers direct these decisions based on experience and companies choose to pay or not pay based on that, your fantasy of some kind of unambiguous first amendment that the US government or legal system doesn’t regulate sounds hilariously uninformed.

Please forgive me ignorance, but why can't I manually delete an object? Lots of times I know this one object is pretty big and want to delete it when I am done with it, but have to force the GC to run to clean it up.
Ah yes, the law. Lets Remove Section 230 protection for Facebook, so folks can now sue them. After all, the original justification for 230 was that they have no capability to moderate their users. That is clearly no longer true today.
I've been watching a lot of documentaries about Mars and the more I learn the more it seems so incredibly daunting and overwhelming. The atmosphere isn't even thick enough to slow down properly from the massive speed you need to get there at a time scale that works. How do you land large colonization facilities, landers, etc. in an atmosphere that is 1% as dense as Earth's? How do you then have enough fuel to leave? I know there are workarounds for everything but there are some hard physics walls here.

>The highest atmospheric density on Mars is equal to the density found 35 km above the Earth's surface.
Before people jump to conclusions, does anybody really believe decentralized social networks pose any significant threat to Facebook's market share?
"Hurdur Facebook is a private platform and they are free to de-platform as they please"
I'm with you, as an agnostic with Christ-inspired morals. I know folks believe in it, I don't; so I don't even like to attend mass 'cause it feels disrespectful. And the capitalization is gross for reasons manifold.
Tecent has been actually allowing independency for most of previously acquired studios. Seems a good deal for the team.

Also it's well known that the Chinese creative market is a bit brain-fucked, in the sense the cut-throat competition drives a lot of studios focusing on trial-and-true designs, results into significant duplication of ideas and implementations. They kind of require talents from a different environment to produce something that is novel to Chinese market.
>I'm about the biggest fan of space you'll find, but even I, sadly, find the ethical calculus unassailable.

I'm not the biggest fan of manned spaceflight, and I couldn't care less about the ISS in particular.

But how does "ethical calculus" tell you to care about killing the ISS, vs. say LIGO, or wasteful military spending, or the video game industry, or foie gras, or goldschlager, or TikTok or astronomy in general or the Xbox or selfie sticks or...

If I was dictator, I'd prefer missions like New Horizons, but I can't see what ethical calculation is involved, I'd just rather see pictures of far away stuff than pay taxes for a space station to go around in circles.
Cut it up and sell the parts? Or tear out the computer and replace it with one from a legit car, or just disable the wireless connection entirely. I think a lot of stolen cars are also shipped overseas where no one is going to be able to recover them.

I would argue that if their board is not ideologically and geographically diverse that there can be nothing even close to resembling neutrality. That being said, I think moderating for anything other than abusive or illegal statements on a platform as large as Facebook is a Sisyphean task.
>How is this not foreign political interference?

America doesn't "interfere" in elections, it gently persuades people to follow the true democratic path.

Truthfully, it is nothing more than American exceptionalism. Even as our nation spent years outraged over Russian interference, we continued both private and public interference in elections worldwide.
Is there any concrete metric by which you'd say Facebook is hostile to the conservative half of the US? The top-performing links on Facebook are consistently conservative, as are many of the members of this Oversight Board.
Accelerate faster than a combustion sports car, no expensive engine maintenance etc. And since the only major cost of electric cars is the battery they will go down in price as we get better batteries and very likely get cheaper than combustion cars pretty soon. Electric engines are super simple, only reason combustion cars are even competitive today is that we have invested so much research into building combustion engines.
Me-thinks that their automated procedure for banning right-wing actors removed large swathes of left-wing actors too. Not surprising really. After all, the SWP describes itself as "revolutionary" and that has got a bad name in recent days.

Looks like they will need to make special "permit-list" for the language of left wing parties.
" ...she sought exile in Europe, settling finally in a
fortress-like home in Ticino, Switzerland, where she stewed
in her racism and outspoken anti-Semitism..."

"...She espoused vile antisemitic views, telling people she was a “Jew hater” and calling the deaths of six million Jews “the semicaust” because she was disappointed more had not been murdered in the camps."

"Many of her spiteful remarks about Jews were made to friends. She called the Holocaust “Holocaust Inc” in front of them, as if it were a successful industry that later benefited Jews.

She would cause outrage at dinner parties, telling guests at one “I’m sick of the Jews”, and later offending friends at her house in Switzerland, when after going into her kitchen for a few minutes she reappeared with a concentration camp number written in biro on her wrist.”

Using pseudonyms, Highsmith would also write regular letters expressing anti-Israeli sentiments to European and American papers when living in France and then Switzerland. "

California successfully forced me to sell my 80’s sports car out of state by constantly tightening smog requirements to the point where they were far above what the car ever had to meet and banning non-CARB stamped aftermarket parts. I have no doubt that they would be able to squeeze perfectly working ICE cars out of the state with draconian rules.
You need to be within 15 feet of the owners key fob at some point for this to work, so it doesn't seem like a super realistic attack. I think it's pretty rare for a car thief to target a particular person, rather than just stealing a random car on a quiet block.

Just FYI, people often forget that shorting shares creates synthetic shares that, conceptually, should to be added to the float.

Imagine a company with 1 share outstanding. I borrow a share from Person A, and I sell it to Person B. Person A and Person B now both own 1 share, and I own -1 shares. The total shares outstanding is still 1 share (2 + -1), but the float has increased. The short interest, as commonly reported, will be -100%. But it's actually only 50% of the shares that could trade. The effective float has increased by the size of the short interest.
The planning goal seems to be focused on a future where remote vehicles are summoned to convey the inhabitant 'on demand' from what I've heard. Permissions based travel with costs associated for emissions etc...
Manufacturing scale could matter.

I could picture a CPU design that had a boot key or other restricted features set by blowing fuses (or similar tricks) during packaging. The "developer" unit leaves them unblown.

If they're selling 10M "regular" units per year, and 5000 "developer" models over the product lifetime, you have to amortize the cost of special-casing the production line for a short run, and stocking and supporting a second SKU, over a relatively small sales volume. It could well be more expensive than the few cents of electricity per unit to blow the fuses in a standard unit.
Disappointing to see yet another Western entertainment company fall under the sway of the CCP.
We do not live on a planet where Facebook noticed this person because of his advocacy of 'decentralized social networks'

It's amazing how much spinning happens in current media. The only people in the world who truly know how much this is are those who get the headlines before the stories are written and talked about, like day traders, who get it for speed reasons. It's cool, but it sucks it costs so much to get an unfiltered news source.
> so that a user can install the latest version of Python without it ever colliding with the outdated version of Python that the OS uses internally

Consider checking out nixos. Although this is already possible to do in normal distros.

> The OS should define a stable format for the OS to install, update and uninstall these files

Like .deb and .rpm?

> 3. We need a desktop environment that's visually appealing and has a good UX.

Why?

> The user shouldn't need to learn 10 different config file formats

You will love nixos then.
Copyright is one broad exception to the first amendment, yes, but note it's only an exception because enforcing copyright is a power explicitly granted by the constitution.

Most acknowledged first amendment exceptions are relatively narrow, at least compared to the controversial parts of the facebook content policy.
