I switched from Firefox + Chromium to Qutebrowser a few weeks ago. So far it is really nice. Since QtWebengine is Chromium-based and is a relatively recent version of Chromium, it works very well with all sites so far, vastly better than the older QtWebkit version I tried a year ago.

I hope that someone will write a Qutebrowser version of Bypass Paywalls [1].

I also find that the Qutebrowser's ad blocking is a bit underwhelming compared to uBlock Origin, with a lot of ads getting through or being incompletely blocked, although work is being done on that [2].

The password filling scripts are also hit or miss but I just copy my passwords from the terminal using `pass`.

It also depends on how much you’re driving. If you average say 5k miles per year it’s likely selling your older car is worse for the environment as someone else is likely to drive more. On the other hand people driving 30k miles per year should really be in a very efficient vehicle.

Thanks for the detailed answer, those security protocols in particular are quite interesting.

Regarding rendering callbacks (thumbnails & etc), it's perhaps not as specific a problem as it might seem. In classic OpenGL, the potential to block the render loop (and thus the entire window event system) when placing a swap buffer (ie present) call is incredibly frustrating. Also, particularly on resource constrained devices, an event driven approach can be quite useful (both for performance and battery reasons). It's generally just a much more flexible model overall.

You mentioned a custom xcompmgr implementation. I didn't think X11 used a callback model though? Was I mistaken? (Again, I've only ever done cross platform OpenGL code using wrapper libraries. That's always involved a potentially blocking call to swap the buffer at the end of the render loop in my experience.)

Ah, those sweet days of “Web 2.0” buzzword a decade and a half ago, when everyone boasted that their service had a secret formula that processed the user submissions, user karma, their plus marks and minus marks, and produced the perfect results. All of these quite soon became an absolute circlejerk over karma, or had global community secessions and wars (often resulting in site owners appearing from the dark to remind everyone they had the last word, and that users could suck it with their idea that their opinions mattered in the system), or a little bit of both, or something similarly contrast to those promises.

A voting system does nothing. It doesn't vote, people vote. Believing that it solves any problem by itself is just as naive as believing that switching human driver with a computer solves any problem by itself, or that switching human body with a computer solves any problem by itself, or some other such sci-fi inspired tea-table talk topic popular today.
As an ETH user and holder (and former miner), I want Ethereum 2.0. Describing it as a fork is ridiculous. Proof of stake is the future and miners have known that for years. Proof of work is a dead end that ends with a Dyson sphere harvesting all power from the sun to process a few transactions.

If miners want to make another Ethereum Classic dead chain let them do so. The innovation, the users, and all the developers will be on Ethereum 2.0.
If you already come to the very sane and correct conclusion that deflationary and volatile cryptocurrencies are effectively useless as a means of exchange and as a primary tool to run an economy then you should just ditch decentralized currencies altogether because then you also get rid of the meaningless complications around mining, energy efficiency or user-friendliness and go to a digital central-bank currency directly which actually has the proper tools to do monetary policy and all you need is a database.

Your explanation sounds reasonable. I suppose there would also be an added power cost in the increased network overhead.

I'm currently running a 2 core node on the Monero network using the official GUI. It doesn't noticeably affect my PC performance but then I'm not a gamer. Supposedly I have a 1 in ~5000 chance/day of writing a block for which the reward is currently worth about 250 USD.

I could join a pool or use Nicehash and actually earn a few dollars a day but I found XmrRig and Nicehash spin up my cooling fans and my reasons are more altruistic than for profit, though it would be awesome to win the lotto.
Having a low credit score is the main reason people are not eligible for credit cards. One of the reasons people have low credit scores is because of not paying.

Now, why is it that they do not pay? not because they're bad people with bad intentions. It's because they gradualy accumulate debt until they cannot repay anymore.

Let's say you meet the requirements for a credit card, but you have a low salary. Then, you go to the supermarket, and pay your groceries in monthly installments because you cannot afford them. You know this will work only temporarily but the choice is to not have anything to eat. So many people just go ahead and do it. They trade a present problem with a future problem.

Eventually, they fail to pay for food they bought 6 months ago and their credit score goes to nothing, they get blacklisted, and their credit card gets killed.

In Latin America it is not rare at all to hear about people making $400 a month that are $40,000 in debt.

I have datetimes stored in UTC, so I first needed to convert them to PST by applying the 8 hour time difference.

Then I used strftime('%w') to get the day of week (as a number in a string).

Then I can filter for that equalling '4' for Thursday.

select
author_date,
datetime(author_date, '-8 hours') as author_date_pst,
strftime('%w', datetime(author_date, '-8 hours')) as dayofweek_pst,

where
dayofweek_pst = '4' -- Thursday

What does “worship” mean? I am a believer of the Austrian theory of economics. Are Keynesian / Monetarists also “worshippers” of a theory? Modern economics is not that old. I fundamentally believe printing as much money as we are across the rich world is going to lead to disaster, just as it has time and again in the developing world (see Venezuela, Zimbabwe, Argentina, Brazil, etc.).

If anything, Austrian economics is a reversion to the standard theory of economics for thousands of years. The “innovation” of Keynesian economics is one of the greatest evils ever perpetuated on society. But again - what do I know - I don’t have a PhD from an Ivy. I just protect my assets in a zero-interest world by avoiding government threat.
90% of indian marriages are arranged. arranged marriages by definition happen with in the same caste (and rarely among friends families).

I am willing to bet, 100% of non-arranged marriages are outside of caste/religion.
The dating scene is still in its infant stages, you can expect more inter-caste marriages when arranged marriages decline.

I want to point out that prevalence of same-caste marriage does not automatically translate to caste based discrimination.

For example, I am open to marrying other caste person, but if other caste persons are not willing to marry me (for whatever reason), and I end marrying in my caste. does it mean I discriminate others based on caste ?

if a white person marries another white person does it mean that white person is racist?

A lot of people don't seem to know how to deal with you if you don't express your identity online. They are so determined to view everything you say through the lens of who you are, it completely confuses them if they can't.

> If that's true it's hard to understand why the majority of the press was publishing information opposite to the state of the climate research at the time.

Those stories do have a kernel of truth, as there does appear to have been a cooling trend at the time; it sort of comes down to the difference between "What if this trend continues?" and "This trend is likely to continue and here are the consequences".

At least in the sampling of news stories in the paper I linked earlier, the quoted scientists seem to lean more towards "we need more data" and/or a more long-term warming trend, if they offered a long-term prediction at all.

I’ve never understood Oracles as a concept. They seem fundamentally untrustworthy.

ETH seemed to have a higher tolerance for introducing the trade offs of Oracles than Bitcoin.

But without Oracles, the overlay networks you speak of couldn’t compute any meaningful logic without requiring an absurd amount of resources from the main net.

If you’re making a distributed computer, it’s like you’re scaling silicon circuits up to the network level. So any operation using those circuits will of course be more expensive. That means that many computations on the main net are cost prohibitive.

I would like to learn more about the trade-offs and risks of a blockchain relying on Oracles as a source of truth.

Racist caricatures are right down the middle of any definition of hate speech I’ve seen.

The production of an instant moral consensus - so that everyone, all at once, decides freely that it would be incompatible with their values to do what they were doing yesterday - is an exercise of a kind of power. “It’s just private entities doing what they want to do” doesn’t mitigate that.

> The biggest caveat in re-using old compute hardware IMO is power consumption, power-efficiency has been one consistent improvement in every new generation of computer chips. So, a new Raspberry Pi is almost always as capable as your old hardware for HTPC but more power efficient.

yes but your typical laptop rarely exceeds 30W, so if your electricity is priced at $0.12 per kWh, and you run that laptop 24x7 for a year:

I have had such enthusiastic feedback from granting people access to the ~full dataset. They have been conditioned to expect whatever subset can fit inside an email or a powerpoint slide. I feel a little embarrassed when people fawn over the utility because it is so easy to get running.

Have not yet had a chance to try the idea, but I am toying with using render-images to bake in pre-built plots + markdown for reporting the output. Queryable report in a file. Dynamic Vega plotting (RShiny-ish) is also in the back of my mind, but that feels too close to magic.

It is an incredibly useful tool, and I appreciate the workflows you have enabled.

Here's a couple of reasons why it probably wouldn't go this way:

1) Ethereum already has a market cap of $73B [0]. That's a lot of money.

2) Controlling 51% of Ethereum would probably cause the value of it to drop [1].

So you'd spend a lot of money to control Ethereum and then end up with something that's far less valuable than it was before you took control. Not really sure what you'd get out of doing that.

> The fact that members of oppressed groups can be bigoted (including against their own group) isn't a novel concept.

If women are being sexist against men, then men are also an oppressed group. This isn't a novel concept.

You're classifying one side as oppressed and the other as oppressor on the basis of a single data point - looking at the very top of society. This would be valid if gender roles were handed down from the top of society, but that's simply not the world you and I live in.

Modern gender roles are a much more grass-roots affair and women are perfectly positioned to influence them. Every complaint about gendered toys, for example, implicates women more so than men.

When mothers push gender roles on their sons that fathers do not, it is absurd to suggest that there is some self-sustaining system called "patriarchy" (literally "the rule of fathers") at fault. You may deny it, but it is a transparent attempt at denying women's agency and placing the blame on men instead.

Frankly, it's boring and at this point I'm comfortable discarding the opinions of anyone who uses the word "patriarchy" outside discussions on religion (i.e. the only context in which gender roles are still top-down).

> Rich people and families with old money are over-represented in government. And yet we must presume that poor people voted to get them in place too

While wealthier people have advantages in terms of getting into politics, they still have to conform to popular opinion to get elected. Most European countries have strong labour movements that reflect this. I don't deny that men have an advantage getting into politics. I do deny that this single data point is sufficient to prove an oppressor/oppressed relationship between men/women. Gender roles are a trade, and women are active participants.

Not exactly. It depends on the syscall. Syscalls that are known to be slow are treated the way you're describing, but syscalls that are often fast are treated optimistically in a way that allows the work queue to be stolen and spawned onto a new thread only if the syscall doesn't return quickly.

I don't know which category epoll fits into, but it seems like it should be treated optimistically, since epoll is used for non-blocking I/O.

I'm not following your example. I don't want to end up in the ER requiring another surgery. If the provider can do something such that I can avoid that, I feel that's healthier.

So the provider "hammers" me with reminders which makes that less likely to happen. Sure, they might not be doing it out of the kindness of their hearts (I've worked in a hospital and many people definitely do want patients to be healthier, but that's neither here nor there), but it seems like they're "incentiv[sized] for you to emerge healthier."

That's not entirely true; doctors have massive political and financial power. The AMA is run by doctors and has consistently lobbied against government funded healthcare for more than a century. They killed FDR's and Truman's proposals and lobbied hard against Medicare and Medicaid in the 1970s.
>2) Controlling 51% of Ethereum would probably cause the value of it to drop [1].

I think you're misinterpreting the paragraph. It's not that controlling 51% will cause the value to drop (it won't, see bitcoin miner control), it's that controlling 51% and trying to pull off an attack will cause it to drop.

Nitrogen wouldn't work in this situation. In fact nitrogen and aluminum will burn, forming AlN. Normally this doesn't happen because of Aluminum readily forms a "rust" layer in the presence of oxygen, and there isn't enough heat.

Re: those dwarf galaxies. Their core (massive black hole?) still spins, right?
Yep.

On the contrary, it sticks out like a sore thumb and because the blockchain is immutable, has been used by the authorities to trace less sophisticated actors.
