An app I built, Keysmith [1], does something pretty close to what you're describing. It's macros anywhere on your Mac, but instead of using OCR we use accessibility APIs to identify UI elements by name. There's also a browser extension to do the same on the web.

And you can save macros for later use or just create a one-off "Scratch" macro as described here [2].

So many beautiful details if you search for more comments by the original author of the post:

"The company that built this ERP solution went bankrupt 6 years ago, and we don't have the source code. It uses PostgreSQL and MySQL, and also has a built-in key-value database for which none of us has any credentials. We don't have the source code for this software (it's built in C and delivered to us as compiled packages..)."
Kotlin on the server is growing though and has the biggest library ecosystem to exist
It sounds like you wish you had the classic unix text file utilities like sed, awk, grep, cut, and so on.
I can't imagine how The Strand stayed in business even before the pandemic. It's standing on some incredibly valuable land, and a good chunk of it is a warehouse for mouldering old books. It's fun to browse down there, and there are real gems, but I can't imagine what they're paying for that space.
> ...fertilizers are also fossil fuel based.

True, but these only account for 1% of energy demand[1]. Fertilizer is all about the nitrogen, not the carbon. The carbon for the corn is taken from the atmosphere.

Repeating your assertion does not make it true. Net Neutrality has always included an aspect of not discriminating for or against certain protocols, because giving preference to specific protocols has the effect of giving preference to the incumbent services that are using those protocols and dissuading innovation and the development of alternatives.

Net Neutrality is about ISPs being neutral and not influencing the market for services offered over the net. Since ISPs can unfairly influence the market using techniques beyond just inspecting packet origins and destinations, Net Neutrality has to cover those techniques too.
I assume the cost of a room cleaning (including costs other than direct labor) is closer to $5. That's about what hotels will often give you in some sort of funny money to skip a cleaning.
This checks out. I work with somebody on the spectrum and he's one of the kindest, most thoughtful people I've ever worked with. He doesn't always pick up on cues (though he is pretty good at it at this point), but he asks questions when he's not sure and just generally goes to great lengths to be considerate. Even more so than many people who aren't on the spectrum, in fact.
I agree, we've created a culture where even smallest of inconveniences is literally impossible for anyone. Anyway lets just finish destroying the planet because of bacon memes or whatever.
Whether a language is "correct" is meaningless (hopefully, most compilers/interpreters are reasonably correct); we're talking about which language makes it easier to write correct programs, and because both languages focus heavily on that goal yet take very different approaches to achieving it (the article only compares one), it is simply impossible to tell at this point which of those languages, if any, achieves that goal better than the other.
You do not need to go down the Github rabbit hole. The symbol prometheus is from the package github.com/prometheus/client_golang/prometheus. Use go doc github.com/prometheus/client_golang/prometheus to read the documentation from your local copy of the package. Use go list -f {{.Dir}} github.com/prometheus/client_golang/prometheus to find out where your local copy is located. If there is only one prometheus.NewGaugeVec in your workspace, then the command go doc prometheus.NewGaugeVec shows the documentation for function and reports the package where it's defined.
Thanks for the link, interesting.

Agree that our current understanding is very crude.

I was thinking a mapping between the information theory world to the biology world: say if N DNA pairs can be theoretically shown to only encode a pattern of "blah" complexity (time/space) regardless of future protein interactions, then could a model progressively apply that to find limits to prove/disprove/discover old or new ideas that are correct/incorrect?

We have had a cop out of "it's a magical world that we don't fully understand" for such a long time,so wondering if fundamental laws can help pave the way. Probably very amaterish/arrogant coming from computer science people such as myself, but one couldn't help but be in awe of these gears or octopuses or even basic flower patterns emerging out of DNA.
There's always a new treasure to be found in the SQLite documentation. Thanks for the link.
It sounds a bit like carbon credit trading but for controversy.

There is an entire class of objectionable speech and activity that is a mixture of phony provocateurs creating honeypots to exploit vulnerable and mentally ill people to create incidents for policy and political leverage. Variations on this MFFAM offsetting policy could mitigate a lot of it by deflating that leverage by normalizing lame speech and letting people recognize it for what it is instead of creating hysteria around it for their own ends.
You've brought up the key piece here, the scope of refurbishment. If engines become a Ship of Theseus problem, then it compromises the idea that age proves a particular engine serial number reliability. I think there's a difference between the design overall being reliable (which I agree RS25 has shown), and lifetime improving a unit's reliability.

For comparison on refurb, a Falcon9 first stage with 9 engines is refurbished for $250k[1], while refurbishing 16 RS25 engines (and building a new engine controller) cost $572M[2]. Shuttle and its components weren't reused, they were rebuilt, and this (probably unfair) cost comparison shows it.

I guess how different will that be to the current subscription model for premium newspapers like WSJ, NYT, FT etc?

Perhaps it could result in the rise of “micro magazines” where a few writers combine and create their own joined content vs being forced to being part of a larger bureaucratic organization.

Or readers could pick and choose a selection for their bundle.

Definitely can expect to see some disruption in the market!

Then it would be fair to say I can't grasp the new-modern use of github module method then the traditional where prometheus.pm exists on disk and I can trace,trap and edit on the fly.

With the line above, prometheus::NewGaugeVec. I know it's related to the Prometheus module, NewGaurgeVec subroutine.

So basically Flatkill was right. It's weird to see so much written about an issue that could be fixed in like 5 minutes. Just change it so instead of "Sandboxed" it says "Limited Sandbox (?)".

The thing about updating SSH doesn't really feel like a flaw in Flatpak to me. It's just a trade-off. Lying about sandboxing is inexcusable though.
Optics by Eugene Hecht is a fantastic reference to start with. It's a bit expensive, but you can find used copies if you look around a little bit.
Yeah, this is a bit what I was getting at. But all I know about cattle comes from my family's cattle background in Eastern Montana and the high valleys of the SouthWest corner of the state. In both those regions, many cows are raised in naturally occurring pastures, eating native grasses, save oats which are sown as a cover crop.

However, my impression this is very unique and produces much less pounds of beef per acre than most places. The cattle breeds there are leaner and half wild. I'm hesitant to speak more definitively because I don't know specific statistics on how ranches in other regions differ. My impression is that the difference are substantial.
China no longer knows how to back down because their dictator has to save face.
I wish I had a way to do knowledge work but also use my body.

Right now, for working purposes (as a software engineer), I'm a disembodied head that can move a pointer, type words, and voice chat. Our bodies were never designed to sit in chairs 8 hours a day for forty years. The very idea of needing to spend free time exercising just to keep your body from falling apart is, well, preposterous.

Not quite. If you are let go "without cause", meaning they fire you for no fault of your own, you are entitled to unemployment pay from the government. In my case it was around $800/week for about 4 months while I looked for a new position. It didn't replace my salary, but it was more than enough to pay my bills.

Most large US companies also have a policy of not giving references beyond answering if the person worked there for the time claimed in the position claimed.

There are a number of benefits to full time employment that good engineers appreciate.
Healthcare (in the US), known reliable income (this can be a big factor for financing a house mortgage/car), various other benefits (I get massage credit, dental, vision/glasses, acupuncture, physiotherapy). The biggest for me is just avoiding the stress of feast or famine, managing business/taxes, etc..
It's also just really weird, when you step back and take a good long look at it, to see people getting worked up about hacky ways of doing things within the context of a language that implemented sum types the way Scala implemented sum types, and that implemented typeclasses the way that Scala implemented typeclasses.

Which, I don't want to be too down on Scala. Overall, I like the language. Scala's real weak point is its culture. There's a decent risk of cognitive dissonance when you try to wrap an ethos of design purity around a language that's always been a bit of a communal experimentation project.
The letters stated that I had a contractual obligation to assist. But I noticed at the top they were stamped 'without prejudice'. I asked my friend what that meant, and he said that technically it's not a legal letter - so I ignored them.

For a while, I made it game to light the various communications on fire in interesting ways, but it got boring.
You might, depending on what "rate" meant.

The reverse case is a simple matter of swapping the T coordinate, t->-t, for the whole universe. Making a local version of it, such that you're going "faster" than the rest of the universe, leaves a boundary condition whose properties are undefined.
Tatoeba Translation Challenge
Conceptually yes. I've yet to see one that is built for an end user to make something on a one shot example though, with an output script that you can tweak.

Everything I've seen has been very enterprise-y.
"Minor League Baseball still not paying rent for most baseball players"

"Playing Fridays at the local pub still not paying rent for most guitar players"

Etc.

> On the face of it, it’s a somewhat absurd concept. Imagine tourists flocking to a famous beauty spot, only to turn around and fix their eyes on its reflection in a tiny dark mirror.

Every single tourist spot on the planet is filled with people looking at the objects of interest before them through a smartphone. I'm surprised the article does not make that parallel.
I would say the analysis is 90-99% of the work, based on my experience. Especially the more jacked up systems where cheapest devs found work on the codebase and it's a mess. 90% only comes in when it's so jacked up it requires a lot of refactoring.
Part of a way around this is broadening your definition of "documentation".

For example, in code: good naming, simple structure, unit tests, and useful comments all can count. A set of easy-to-understand unit tests that cover real scenarios is much better than even the greatest documentation ever written.

A fully scripted build and ideally also deployment (CI/CD pipeline) beats a checklist with tens of items that have to manually followed.

An issue system with good descriptions of changes (including why and what), reproduction steps, expected outcomes, links to related issues, etc also can go a long way.

All of this stuff has the side effect of making day-to-day work simpler, overall, while actually just being a part of that work.
It seems clear to me that the government has insider information. For example, they get classified briefings on all manner of things and they determine how and where government money is spent.

I would agree that it's not legally insider trading, because of course the people who wrote the laws on insider trading excluded their privileged knowledge from being considered insider trading in the law.
Funnily enough it made me sick to my stomach. I manage a small company and the idea of being extorted in such a blasé and psychopathic fashion terrifies me to even think about.
It seems that the solution to the “complex” scenario you’re describing is simple: use Firefox instead of Chrome.
A standalone hardware mute switch for Zoom/etc calls so you can prominently and reliably see your mic mute status, and quickly and easily flip it on and off.

I own a used BMW that was previously a leased vehicle and I can confirm from direct experience that I was able to ignore the scheduled service notification and continue happily driving for thousands of miles with no issues.

Yes -- so if the company falls behind, maybe using some open source code could help you keep up. At least that's what I've felt looking at things on github/gitlab/etc has helped with, if done the right way :)
IMO the strongest plausible interpretation of what the comment you’re replying to said would include the Linux Foundation clearly communicating the new practice beforehand.

What I would really be interested in, is do library developers use or intend to use mypy? Because if your libs are typed checked and your APIs are well constructed, a lot of that safety will flow to the clients.

Maybe those 40% would love to use it if something was changed or fixed. I think these numbers are frankly amazing, a year from now we reach an inflection point where mypy is used by the majority of some segment of the Python developer ecosystem.
I kinda agree with you.

I think Porsche will Introduce a new Electric GT car to replace the base 911, the 718, Macan and Cayenne will be electrified, Panamera will be discontinued and the 911 will live on only in the Turbo and up variants with a Stick and DCT and a Hybrid option.
I'm sorry it's more expensive for you, I just wanted to point out that there are locations which are not the US, such as parts of mainland Europe, where this claim does also not hold.

I just checked and it appears that notebooksbilliger.de sells the Air M1 starting at 1057 EUR and is willing to ship to Croatia for 30 EUR. If you were interested, maybe that's a better alternative.

Edit: Amazon.de charges 1079 EUR and seems happy enough to ship to consumers in Croatia as well for around 14 EUR. I haven't tried completing an order, obviously, but there are no relevant restrictions listed.
You don't donate, they do. And if they donate to a grift organisation as you call it, their loss.
This is such a bizarre take. You're living in San Francisco, one of the most prestigious cities in the world, and yet you're describing your situation as if you're living in Sangvor, Tajikistan.

No one in San Francisco is stuck. [1] By skipping a few of those movie tickets and buying months in advance you could get a plane ticket out of there. In plenty of places in the US there isn't even an airport, not to mention outside the US.

You don't need a kitchen. You can just have an electric stove in your bedroom. [2]

Well that's the thing: not all of these container systems advertise themselves as having sandboxing built in. Neither do people statically linking.

The AppImage philosophy seems to be much more robust here (and not coincidentally more in-line with the Unix philosophy): focus strictly on the packaging/distribution aspect and defer the sandboxing to separate tools (e.g. Firejail).
Sure but clearly that’s not how it is now, and yet colleges charge vastly more than they did in your day.
It seems like a universal basic income would address this "unfortunate side requirement" better than somehow making all youtubers get paid enough to make rent. This would let people take the risk of doing content creation, either they get lucky and make a lot of money or they can indefinitely subsist on UBI. In the end society wins (in my opinion) by getting lots of people doing stuff they are interested in.

Can't vouch for the TVs, but I owned one of their 1080P monitors in the last 2000s/early 2010s. Upper-middle quality, very basic OSD, great customer service. Used the monitor for ~7 years before upgrading to a 4k, sold it still working with original cables & box.
This reminds me of the conspiracy theory book, Lab 257. There was a lab on Plum Island in the Long Island Sound that studied infectious diseases.

If you trace back the spread of Lyme disease in time, you get two points. One in Connecticut, and one on Long Island, where workers got on the boats to Plum Island.

The lab was studying diseases similar to Lyme disease at the time.

All those are facts.

The conspiracy theory is that Lyme disease was accidentally released by that lab.

While I kind of get the problem flathub is trying to solve. I have to ask how often have you guys found yourself unable find a package (in your distributions package manager) for the software you want. I personally use debian (now in qubes os). And for all the software I want there is either a package in the debian repositories, or there is a ppa, or a single sad package on the devs site.
> I'd like to say that I'm sure we have actually increased biomass density. If we had not, our farms wouldn't be doing their jobs very well.

As you stated, this doesn’t need to be the case since a lot productivity gains come down to more frequent harvesting. The natural lifespan (not average due to low survival rates in the first year) of a Bison can be up to 18-20 years, while a typical beef cow is slaughtered at 18 months. Ruffed grouse have an average lifespan of 1.5 years or so, but can make it up to 7 years or more. Chickens are typically slaughtered at 8 weeks.

As for crops, large swathes of them replaced forest which were larger pools of biomass that still cycled into the atmosphere through decay and fire.
I tried clubhouse.io after seeing your note, and a few minutes into the demo (which was impressive) the site died (which was less impressive).

Also while lottery money might go to schools that just means the state doesn't have to fund the school system as much and can take that money they would have budgeted for the schools and put it elsewhere. In the end it results in a net-neutral for schools in a lot of cases. Money earmarked for specific things really has no bearing if the amount of money earmarked is less than or equal to the funding requirements of the thing it's earmarked for.

For example, using 100% made up numbers, let's pretend the school budget is $100M and the lottery brings in $50M. Well that just means we can now take $50M from the school budget and use it for other things and combine $50M from the "state budget" and $50M from the "earmarked lottery revenue" and fund the schools for $100M. Now if the lottery brings in over $100M then the schools could get more but I'm not sure if that's happening anywhere.
