I remember being 12 years old, listening to Technotronic dance hits as MOD files. Also, I was among the youngest members of the BBS community in my area of New Jersey. If only I learned how to program back then. The Turbo C++ book in my possession felt like Egyptian hieroglyphics and I gave up trying to learn it fairly quickly.
this is almost correct.

probably correct that they censor based on conservative opinions. not correct that right leaning americans are conservative. all conservatives are right leaning tho. not the other way around.

Don't get me wrong, I still subscribe to all these services, because of the content.

But I'll always check Netflix for something to watch first because it's faster and easier (unless there's something specific I know i want).

Being the default first choice is very valuable, and speed is the reason they're it.
More than that, the sound is defined by how the overtones change over time, and for acoustic instruments that's defined by various resonant modes and how they're excited.

This article makes it sound as if timbre is static. It isn't. It's the changes that make instruments recognisable.

A static slice of a violin timbre doesn't sound much like a violin.

It's also wrong about having to use a 9ms slice. FFTs apply a windowing function which fades a slice to zero at the edges. Otherwise you get discontinuities which introduce spurious high frequency overtones which don't really exist.

And so on. These are all things that some slightly deeper background reading would have revealed.
Where did you check though? Because there are multiple places on Earth where it is actually illegal to promote fascist rhetoric and talking points.
As another European, I completely disagree.

https://solidproject.org is not only by a British individual who is very well know (Sir Tim-Berners Lee), but it has also come from within academia(MIT). It is a shame that the project is not getting as much attention as those projects that are promoted by the Big Tech companies.
I like the idea, but I think I'd prefer to go more towards mdsh - I already write up markdown documents for various tasks - I would prefer extracting and running code directly from file (eg: a local checkout of a gitlab wiki project, or from a docs-folder in a checkout of a regular project).

Maybe I can bend mdsh to my needs with a bit of inspiration from your project.

Currently there's expected to be a bit of copy paste from the wiki/rendered markdown - but that only scales so far. (I generally do drop helper scripts in a project /bin folder, and document the use of those via markdown - but having a sensible way to execute code blocks would maybe help).

Ed: Or perhaps I'm better off just using https://zyedidia.github.io/literate/index.html directly.
"I'm starting my journey of learning Portuguese and totally understand the difficulty in avoiding gender in certain languages."

Indeed. Gender isn't just about pronouns, and about half of the world's population uses more than one language, so it doesn't in general make sense to talk about "the pronouns of this person".

(Can anyone think of a language that has compulsory expression of whether humans are male or female but doesn't express it through pronouns? ... Attempt to answer my own question: Kurmanjî Kurdish perhaps?)
I'm using pass as my password manager but I heard a lot of good about bitwarden
so I decided to give it a try, that would be one fewer thing to administrate for
me.

One very important feature for me is having a command line interface because I
have a bunch of scripts that need to be able to query the password manager.
Fortunately bitwarden provides a first party CLI that seems pretty fully
featured, so I was optimistic.

Anyway, I try to install bitwarden-cli through AUR and I see that one of the
dependencies is nodejs.

Oh no.

Right so it's a javascript thingy. I'm a bit shocked, but then I decide that I'm
being silly and it's what all the kids use these days and it's just a
programming language and who cares. So I decide to push forward and install the
binary version of the program (installed size is 65MB, as a comparison point
lastpass also provides a CLI tool written in C that's 0.2MB installed).

Since I don't know how the tool works, I decide to launch it without argument to
get the usage. It takes 0.6 seconds to display the usage. That's with a hot
cache.

Oh no.

So that's the story of how I kept using pass. I know that some people will say
that it's not that big of a deal, and I know that for bitwarden's devs it might
make sense to implement their client that way because it lets you reuse some
code and get good portability, but I just can't even. I'm running on an
overclocked desktop computer capable of executing billions of instructions per
second, I can play 4K videogames at 60 fps but apparently I get 1.6 UPS (usages
per second) with this tool. It unironically makes me sad that this is the state
of software engineering nowadays.

Reading this thread it seems like it's a mess when it comes to privacy too, so I suppose I dodged a bullet.

The first document, SQRL explained, does a decent job describing how the system works. Having to download a PDF to read text on a website isn't the greatest of UX experiences.

The talking to seems to happen through a custom sqrl: URI-scheme. That's something that's supported by most platforms I know of; Steam uses the same mechanism to start installing a game you purchased in the browser, if I remember correctly.

Source code for several implementations is linked in the explainer document from the home page: https://www.grc.com/sqrl/SQRL_Explained.pdf

I'm not sure if the Windows implementation is open source, but the algorithm itself is.
> And sadly rust is fairly user-hostile language

Rust seems to me to be user-frienndly, though for the cases where it's safety features are critical and at the fore, it front-loads pain that would be dealt with eventually, which can make it feel intimidating. But its forcing you to confront things that are likely to cause subtle bugs if dealt with sloppy (or overlooked), not actually adding unnecessary complexity.
> What does "90 demos exposed" mean. Will there be any way to run them?

Probably just a bad translation from French. It's just a book. :)
It's hard to argue against this, that really is the 25 point program of the Nazis. However, I think it is generally understood that Hitler's entrance into the National Socialists marked a deviation from Socialist ideas.
My understanding was that there were literally two factions, one which took the socialist aspects seriously and one which had no interest in socialist principles.
The socialist faction had people like Gregor Strasser as figureheads and they got routed out as part of the night of the long knives.

Much of the Big Business that invested in the Nazi party were tentative at first because of socialist name and were convinced by Hitler et al that it was in name only..
I spent a number of years living in America in the past, and made friends with people across the political spectrum there. And what has always stood out to me is how much hatred and animosity the American right and left have for each other. Talk with someone over beers long enough and they really open up about it, probably because I'm an outsider.

As far as political orientation goes, by worldwide standards America actually ranges from center-right (Democrats) to far-right (Republicans), but there are many confounding factors due to their society being forced into the mold of one-of-two parties. Indeed, the choice of ideologies and political tactics are downright bizarre, even contradictory to the outside norm of left and right when viewed by a foreigner.

What always surprises me is the rabidity of the comments left on sites such as these (both left and right oriented). Although you belong to different tribes, your words are remarkably similar: It seems that you really do see the other party as made up of terrible people, misguided at best, inhuman monsters at worst, unfeeling and callous, perhaps even extermination-worthy in some extreme cases. This is not how politics work in the rest of the world.
Project Feedback: Headspace and Medium for Journaling
Over the past 2 weeks I had the idea to build a Headspace + Medium for Journaling app (on browser, not phone). With a library of templates/courses/questions that people can ask themselves.

Idea Origin - last year I got super stressed. Couldn't afford a therapist and didn't have anyone to speak to in lockdown. Journaling to different prompts kind of saved me, and I want to help others in the same spot, or anyone looking to improve their clarity of thought.

It's very MVP with a handful of templates and courses which I've used over time. I think it has some potential, but I'd love to know what people think? It's free to join so I'd really appreciate your feedback

This is just a PSA to warn people that this can fail: I just tried this in my lunch break. I have LOS 17.1 on surnia (old, I know).

These settings completely disabled my on-screen home button and other UI elements, and setting the anim scale back to 1.0 and rebooting did not fix that, no more home button for now.

I probably have to reset the phone, did not find any further info so far on how to fix it (pointers, anyone?). But the UI seemed snappy indeed at 0.5 ...

Edit: "other UI elements" including e.g. the Tab switcher in the Lightning browser. The widgets are all displayed, but totally unresponsive.
And don't ignore the fact that needs change over time - a perfectly designed and functioning component will become imperfectly specified over time as the need for it changes.

And there is the cost/benefit calculation - the effort required to get something perfect is often greater than the benefit of having a perfect component. The purpose of commercial code is to make money, and if technically perfect code makes less money than technically imperfect code, then is it fulfilling its purpose perfectly?

The "ipod" and "ipod Touch" were the reason the iPhone was successful. The speed and reaction time was important too - but I wouldn't call it a "killer feature" - it was necessary because phones weren't slow - actually there was nothing particularly slow about about the RAZR. I don't understand the comparison.
>But OTOH Firefox Lockwise/Sync is client-side encrypted, and the server just holds an opaque data blob for you.

Back when I used lastpass that's also how they handled it (you can read through their open source command line client to see how it's implemented under the hood, it's fairly straightforward).

I agree that its UI was pretty clunky though.
The purpose of commercial code is to make money. If the cost of annoyed customers is less than the cost of polishing the software, then the guy paying the salaries is right.

I used to write 4K demos and the like in assembly, and I wrote a 3D engine in the era where you still thought hard about making something a function call or not because... you know... those fractions of a microseconds add up, and next thing you know you've blown your 16.6ms frame time budget!

These days I see people casually adding network hops to web applications like it's nothing. These actually take multiple milliseconds in common scenarios such as cloud hosting on a PaaS. (I measured. Have you?)

At that point it's not even relevant how fast your CPUs are, you're blowing your "time budget" in just a handful of remote function calls.

If you stop and think about it, the "modern" default protocol stack for a simple function consists of:

- Creating an object graph scattered randomly on the heap
- Serialising it with dynamic reflection
...to a *text* format!
...written into a dynamically resizing buffer
- Gzip compressing it to another resizing buffer
- Encrypting it to stop the spies in the data centre
- Buffering
- Kernel transition
- Buffering again in the NIC
- Router(s)
- Firewall(s)
- Load balancer

and then the reverse of the above for the data to be received!

then the forward -- and -- backwards stack -- again -- for the response

If this isn't insanity, I don't know what is...

Godbolt is a fun tool: https://godbolt.org/

The story I heard, was that the author is one of these obsessive genius types, who was having a debate about compiler efficiency, so he wrote an entire compiler engine to prove his point.

I can understand that.

This is a great article. Being able to descend into machine code/assembly is a valuable “tool of last resort.”

Personally, I avoid that like the plague, but an OS developer probably still needs to do this (I developed system stuff, back in the Dawn Times).

I started off with Machine Code, so it’s been a long, strange trip, for me...

Oura for Business: Track your employee's health
Just found out that Oura (a company that produces a smart ring to track key health indicators) launched a business solution that lets employers track their team's health.

link: https://get.ouraring.com/forbusiness

I've been a huge fan of Oura and own a ring myself. The ring tracks very private data such as activity, resting heart rate, HRV and more. I love using it personally but would not want anyone to know about my data.

This move feels Brave-New-World-ish where your manager will point out to you that you've been drinking this weekend and haven't exercised enough in the past month (just look at the screenshots on the landing page).

Would love to discuss the pro's/con's of this as I'm starting to feel like I gave money to the wrong company.
> It's pretty unprecedented.

Not only it's unprecedented, but it's constantly developing. Apple Health, Home, and in the future amny others - they all link you to a single account a give another party (that you can't communicate meaningfully with) a complete control over important aspects of your life. Still, we prefer convenience over safety, privacy and control.
In theory, you're right. However there was such a bad problem of low-effort Homework questions a while back that the community decided to be a bit more strict about things.

Ideally, yes you're right.
If the formal specification is wrong, the component is still broken in practice. Your distinction is convenient as a vehicle for feeling better about your code (and I would argue you should feel good about writing such code), but it doesn't really have any bearing on the problem given the way you present it here.
For those just scanning the comments, "full remote access" is just being used to mean "has an automatic update system" here

Yes, such as the part that judges whether something is fallible or not.

Well, you can't sell peaches to Walmart customers without Walmart taking a cut either. But we don't say the peach growers are buying customers from Walmart, do we?
I have been looking for how to set up multi-master replication, and as far as I know you still need a third-party solution.
IKEA has a complex corporate structure which was created specifically because of the high Swedish taxes. Hence the Dutch connection.

Also, read the criticisms section of that link. Only after publication of the criticism in the Economist did the family who owns IKEA take action. Now imagine what happens if the family has less control in the future. Also, supporting innovation and supporting developing countries does not mean "don't track users", etc.

You never heard of a profiler? Logging? You're going about this all wrong.

When fixing performance problems you shouldn't guess, just profile it to find the bottlenecks.

I've seen plenty of performance 'fixes' that weren't, pure guesses by developers that did nothing, when a quick profile immediately revealed the culprit.

In your case you also need to figure out if it's happening server-side or client-side. I generally start with the server-side logs, get a few days/weeks worth of data, find average page request times, plus how much deviation on those requests, then go from there. That gets you the server-side. For client-side, unfortunately it's a lot harder. Google analytics page load speed, for example, is a pile of crap. But, again, there's a profiler in dev tools, remember js compile time is a significant thing and can slow load time too so check that out as well as the actual run times (js compile time shows in the page load graph).

Tbh I wouldn't be too surprised if those US and Five Eye programs are the first of their kind, yet they have a very easy time flying under the radar because for the most part it's a home-match for them: No Reddit, Twitter or Facebook will ban a bunch of US IPs for allegedly running "propaganda operations", yet with Iranian, Chinese, Russian and whatnot IPs that's a very regular thing.

Makes me wonder if Chinese or Russian platforms like WeChat or VKontakte ever banned a bunch of American IPs for similar reasons?
> Mixed with their tyrannical racial nationalism, you will also find many socialist ideas

Yeah, that's true of their early platforms, but even on paper (and much more in practice) socialist elements were progressively deemphasized as Hitler consolidated power within the party.

> Why read history in the very words of the people of the time,

You should definitely read their words, but you should read all of them as they change over time, and track the objective external facts of who held more power as they changed, and also check words against actions. Because just because something was at one point the words tied to a faction doesn't mean:

(1) that it represented that factions immutable view for all time across changes in internal power dynamics, or even

(2) that it was ever anything more than cynical, opportunistic manipulating propaganda.
