Fixing bugs isn't the same as actively developing. The bugs that are getting fixed these days are in increasingly obscure edge cases (in some cases no actual implementation in use can reach those edges).

That said, I've started working on such a project as you propose. The document preparation language will be almost identical to LaTeX, but no macro language and no category codes, UTF-8 as the standard input coding, first-class support for multiple back ends (e.g., use the same source to produce PDF, HTML or ePub), command definition through an embedded scripting language (I'm still debating between Python, Lua or something else entirely), formatting done declaratively, most likely through a YAML file, etc. My musings along the way are at http://finl.xyz
Never played that games but wow that was so nostalgic.

For some reason, I never get that feeling when playing modern games designed in retro/8-bits style.
It seems like your product is focused around promoting trustworthiness and not just positive reviews. Why? Who is the target customer here?

If you are buying drugs and the dealer says "hey, by the way, I just want you to know I'm totally not a cop"... that is a huge red flag. I'm equally wary of random websites that feel like they need to prove trust to me.
I think that much of functional intelligence comes from compression and integration of information. That doesn't require someone to learn quickly or think quickly in new circumstances. But it still can result in very useful skills and knowledge that are built up over time.
> But Audacity doesn't even seem to support HiDPI mode on Linux properly to begin with (the entire UI is small), so that's not it per se...

On KDE HiDPI, the audio input/output device selector positions the dropdown boxes according to 100% scaling, but they're sized according to 125% scaling, so they overlap!
> The comments about targeting companies with insurance were also interesting. I guess it's a smart way to make sure you get a guaranteed payout. But also I can see insurance rates going up and/or companies getting out of the market if they have to pay out too often.

Insurance companies are often a mix of care and greed. I think a boutique insurance brokerage for ransomware might do very well if they drive changes in the client's operations through their exclusion clauses and fee structures. Find a bank or finance house willing to underwrite such an operation, perhaps with the possibility of a fat consultancy income stream to go along with it, and there is money to be made.
from my experience porting cyanogenMOD from android phones that only received 2.3 officially all the way up to 4+, you are likely running the binary kernel drivers as binary blobs for 2.6 and some kid in a forum either flipped bits at random while following a asm tutorial or wrapped it in a syscall shell that emulates an old kernel to the driver.

or maybe the n900 had less esoteric peripherals than android phones. I don't know... as I never got my hands on one despite actively trying to buy one for a couple years when they were announced.

When people run out of good arguments, they give you tons of weak arguments. What you see and describe is a bullish sign for the thing they are trying to argue against.

It's somewhat pointless to argue with random strangers on the Internet who may or may not appreciate your effort at reasonable discussion. If you believe in your own arguments, put your money where your mouth is and be proven right economically and be the one who quietly owns the last laugh.
WSJ won’t let me read the article
It has a bit less gain on a RISC due to the code density (or lack thereof), since it requires more fetch bandwidth. Apple works around this by using a very wide front-end: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25257932
What sold me on Bitcoin wasn't the strength of bitcoin itself, but the weakness of gold.

Bitcoin is an incredible store of value (albeit volatile). Being able to store a huge amount of assets in an inflation resilient trust-free resource that can't be faked is incredibly useful.

The other thing that sells me on it is the institutional buy in. At this point, nough rich people are going to lose big if bitcoin doesn't succeed. So, I find it unlikely that politicians and bureaucracy will purposely limit it.

That being said, I wouldn't invest more than 20% of my portfolio into crypto. It is far too volatile to put in anymore than that.
Looks cool. But you have split up the licenses as Apache and AGPL. Why the split? You could prevent the likes of AWS competition with a blanket AGPL etc... Am I missing something? Or is Apache license OSS some derivative work and from another project?
> get back the domain

They never had the domain.
> On startup, it'll run the carriage into that switch so it knows exactly where it is. With my setup missing that switch, how does it know where the carriage is? Basically by doing the same thing: it'll run the carriage into the end stop for a good while. If the carriage reaches its limit, it'll slip back and stay there. This gives quite some wear-and-tear on the mechanics and isn't the most elegant solution by a long shot, but for a device that isn't used much and with me not having enough GPIOs left to hook up switches, it had to do.

As I understand it, this is basically the same solution the Apple II disk drives used to return the head to track zero. Owners of the Disk ][ will remember the loud repetitive clicking sound it made at startup. That's the sound of the drive controller moving trying to move the head outward 40 times and hitting the end stop most of the time.
There's a pmOS effort to make the N900 hardware usable with modern kernel:

https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Nokia_N900_(nokia-n900)

There was also a project to replace the hardware:

https://neo900.org/

When trying out various Linux handheld options before pmOS, I wasn't able to get N900 hardware at a good price, but I did get a few N810 units. Then I was dismayed to find that a lot of the once-public open source and tools for N810 had simply been removed from the Internet. That kind of thing is another reason to support efforts like pmOS.
Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents by Isabel Wilkerson

She is a wonderful writer and her book was an eye-opening journey through the deleterious and ubiquitous effects of caste, which is distinct from class or race, on American society and other societies.
I'm pretty sure you misread the claim. When it says "full desktop experience" it doesn't mean that FreeBSD ships with a full desktop experience that is already enabled and active by default, but rather that it's possible to get a full desktop experience in FreeBSD (which is very much not the default - it boots to a terminal) and explains how to do that.

"Full burger experience" might be the title on a recipe for making a burger, or it might be part of an advertisement for a restaurant where the burger is already made for you. In the case of this article, it's the former. People already in the know about FreeBSD are generally not expecting a full desktop environment out of the box, so they won't be confused about the title.
Wow, never would have remembered Goldwave had you not brought it up.

My turn: Creative WaveStudio (came with some of the original Sound Blaster cards back in the Win3.1 days) and n-Track Studio
At the speeds we're talking about, is there even a threat?

If they really think this is a real threat then I'd fully expect them to be already cleaning the various surfaces of the ride each time. That means alcohol swabbing all hand surfaces. I'd also expect the people waiting in line to be fully masked without exception because people talking is a known aerosol vector.

That's the "reasonable" science approach to dealing with a known aerosol and surface infection threat. But I doubt they clean each time. I doubt they distance properly. In plenty of locations I'm sure they don't wear masks.

If they aren't already doing all those preventive measures then adding a "no yell / scream" requirement is actually just nonsense because the simple and basic actions aren't being done.

EDIT: on a more serious note, if there is no threat then the reason for the rule isn't health-related. That is even worse. That then makes it a rule put in place for health reasons yet with no actual health reasons. That's very bad public policy and sets a bad precedent since now anything can be justified for no reason. Doing it just for optics is even worse.
Yes I meant this.
Yep that was it ^
I preferred Eclipse to Intellij because it was free, and free meant that everyone based their software on it, and once you learned it, for example, if you knew Eclipse you knew the Scala IDE, the Salesforce IDE, Mulesoft, Teiid, Red Hat JBoss development, and many more.

VSCode has taken over the "everyone extends it" space. When you know your way around VSCode you're good to go on a lot of the software projects you work on today.
> No, people keep acting like life on earth is going to die due to higher temperatures.

Yes, some people are saying this.

> It will probably just move north. In that sense it's not so bad. It is still disruptive, but not the end of the world.

Only some life is instinctually nomadic or migratory. Dispersion of species usually occurs on the scale of thousands of years not over the course of decades. It is no exaggeration to say the extinction we are facing could be quite devestating. You can dismiss this by saying that several times the earth's biodiversity has been reduced to single digit percentages of its recent past. This is true but it does not make those periods a time you might prefer yourself or your children to inhabit.
I wouldn't considered Apple to be even competing.

They are by far the biggest customer and have a multi-faceted relationship e.g. OLEDs, Modems.
Most BTC is held by an exchange, like Coinbase, Binance, etc... so this statistic is about as meaningful as pointing out that 95% of US dollars are stored at a bank.
Agree with this point completely.

Ideally it seems as if you'd want someone with administrative capabilities and focus but with enough understanding of the tech and business side that they're able to understand context and conversation.

Problem is, although its easy to find administratively capable resources who you can pay a decent salary to retain, the minute you require them to understand broader context the incentive structure changes as this is inherently more work.

To me that is why Product Managers who's focus is a single product should also take over administrative tasks on that project. It gives them an opportunity for "field time" as stated by another poster as well.
I wonder if quantum computing is possible in biological systems.
If you can't handle the client, why did you accept the connection in the first place? It has nothing to do with what you're using the connection for. I have an IP address on my ISP connection whether or not I use any data. It's factored into their scaling already.

It is kinda funny how we’re going back to a kind of mainframe/terminal model with the way everything works now
I don't think its that simple, but I do think 5 days of restless productivity is not ideal for a lot of people. That's enough time to start losing sleep for everyone who isn't serious about getting enough of it. Its also five continuous days of doing the same thing. It works for an assembly line, but it might not be ideal for more creative work.

After trying something similar I think it might be better for people like me to work really hard M-T, take a breather on W, then hit it hard R-F. Thats a very different rhythm than slugging M-T-W-R-F week after week.
Oh so for instance, when the press just makes shit up, we admit it to ourselves instead of just smearing anyone who notices and censoring them as conspiracy theorists? Yeah what a wild concept.
Also don’t shell script on the fly in a production server that has data of any sort you can’t restore from a backup. It’s one giant game of Russian roulette and eventually the human is going to screw up

The Founder Trap
The game's simple copy protection system required you to look up things in it too, a touch I loved. The later Fate of Atlantis game did a similar thing as well.

This is a small part of the charm of these old games newer players on ScummVM miss out on, as ScummVM (sensibly) removes the in-game copy protection questions. They were integrated into the game in a sympathetic way that made looking up the diary feel like Indy hunting for clues etc.

Apple designs their own CPUs, GPUs, SOCs, Modems etc.

It does not require a stylus, and is superior to capacitive touchscreens in every way.
If the technology can be made identical to the risk of an abortion, its questionable if a choice will be given. What would the moral argument be?

Currently the moral argument is that since women bear the risk of pregnancy, they should also have the exclusive right to decide to continue or abort. Once the child is born however the right to parents is given to the child, and thus neither the mother or father can refuse responsibility. At minimum they would both be paying child support.

If the technology would remove the risk aspect, it would give the father an equal stand in the matter, and one could imagine a future where a child would be brought forth as long as one of the parents wanted the child.
The Metallica album Main of Puppets was recorded in 1986, in Denmark, at Sweet Silence Studios with producer Flemming Rasmussen.

I was thinking same thing, only accidentally did I discover that hovering mouse over one shows VGA version. And then I read the text.
In iTerm, Edit -> Paste Special -> Warn Before Multi-Line Paste will disable it if you don't like it. It's probably better to disable it in zsh, but I don't know how to do that. iTerm also provides the "only pop up this warning when I'm at a shell prompt", which is ironically exactly when I don't want it to pop up (since zsh/fish detect it themselves).
They weren't and there was no reason to think that they were. And he was only asking them to "find the dishonesty" in specific places.

While he may not have uttered the exact syllables reported, the core of the story, the central message, was correct. Trump tried to pressure Georgia into overturning an election.

Trying to paint it as a complete refutation of the story is misinformation. You are the one attempting to do damage here.

I believe they were talking about Bitcoin wallets, not card providers.
> There is no reliable way to associate addresses to individual people.

That may be true in general, however in the US there are several large companies that manage Bitcoin wallets for consumers that are public or trying to get public. So the US regulators will likely have been able to get aggregate statistics like this for some time.

The more nexus crypto has with the traditional regulated finance system, the more ability of regulators to get opaque data from the network.

This was a neat phone to have during it's time, but I remember having it for a while and the killer app that came out months after I got the phone was MMS. The engineers at Nokia just couldn't figure it out but someone hacked on it long enough to enable it. Fairly certain they flew the guy out and offered him a job.
It hink the other comments already made good points, but just to complete it for me:

- There's very little learning curve with i3. After setting/learning 2 or 3 keyboard shortcuts you're good to go. That makes the adoption a no brainer.

- 99% of what I do is done in a shell (code, sysadmin) or a browser (read doc, write doc). That means I often need a lot of shell windows all over the place. The tiling really helps here. I could use tmux/screen for that (that's what I did before i3), but I often already have tmuxes on the remote boxes I ssh to, and the inception makes navigation harder.

- it's fast, there no animation or latency whatshowever. I can very quickly open a shell, ssh, run a command, close it, etc.

Most of these could be done with any keyboard oriented tiling wm, I just so happen to use i3.
Nope, my M1 Air is connected to an external monitor most of the day and I don’t have issues.
I wouldn't want to opine on "illegal", but, as much as I'm skeptical of privatized energy markets, it's not outlandish to think that if you're dealing with a counterparty that has the ability and inclination to change prices retroactively, you're probably going to add some extra margin up front to compensate for that risk, and on balance, it's not a given that the counterparty is better off.
I've done the FreeBSD thing and I'm currently on macOS. Were you running actual BeOS or Haiku? I wish someone would dump a chunk of money into funding another OS for hardware support.
Hi, yes often we are also really surprised. One could say its like writing a query, we took a lot of inspiration from MongoDBs query language.
To understand how this is all possible, in short, react components just use props, so just a json tree should already get you to some app description. Then, you just need to express logic, recalculate and update.

I helped start a pretty successful ISP in Chicago (EnterAct) in --- I think? --- 1995, and it was bizarrely easy. By then, CLECs would deliver you a PRI (I think?) that would terminate calls from every suburb in Chicago, so you just needed a rack, an ethernet connection to an upstream, the PRI, and a couple of terminal servers to get started. We had a DS1, connecting our cage at MFS to our offices, but our actual upstream was just 10bT.

For a long time, I routed the whole thing with proxy ARP. :)
I found that video fascinating even though I couldn't really related to any of the tools he was talking about since I've never composed music in the past.

Taste Preferencehttps
Your taste preference definitely affects your overall health. Even though you think your taste preference is not something serious, actually speaking, it's one of the factors which determine the course of your life. Your taste preference is molded by different factors, such as genetics, the food culture your family follows, and the preference of food by your parents. https://bit.ly/3aildPL

I was musing over IPython's behavior right before reading your comment... it's not a terminal, per se, but if you paste in multiple lines, the input switches into a multiline mode. This suggests that bash could handle it in the same manner without relying on a terminal application.

In my experience, the advice "don't paste garbage into your terminal" is about as useful as "don't make mistakes." Sometimes it happens when I forget to hit shift on copying from a terminal, or accidentally holding it while copying from another window. Humans make mistakes. I like seatbelts even though they've never saved my life.
Bitcoin literally wouldn't be able handle the transaction volume if individual transactions were being done in bitcoin. Even doing it this way I assume there's going to be delays and pretty big fees unless you load large amounts of bitcoin on to your card at once.
