I have the opposite experience to you; I was required to use Perl ages ago and built enough software in it to actually like it. I understand why some people are big Perl lovers.

But of all the programming languages that I know (and it's a long list) Perl is the only one that I can't just jump back into. I've forgotten all the esoteric things about it. Unlike most languages, you can't get far in Perl without knowing those esoteric things.
Wow, can't even imagine all the industries this can find application in! Amazing idea!
I buy bare root plants because tree nurseries repot their seedlings too late, after the roots had already begun circling the pot. The worst one I ever saw had three layers of circling roots. I got it at my favorite froo-froo gardening center. I took it back and showed their plant buyer. He said that's normal. The fuck it is.

Bare root plants never have this problem.

There is definitely a tendency of trees to behave as if they are in a pot when they encounter a huge change in soil medium. The dead tree I dug up this spring had virtually no roots outside of the original cone section of the pot it came in.

The other problem, especially with bushes, is they often put those little plastic time release fertilizer beads into their soil mix and so I'm putting microplastic into my yard. Often the roots are too fibrous to get all of the beads. I sometimes get the smaller plants because of this.

I don't actually 'wash' though, I use a chopstick to tease the dirt away from the roots. They're still coated.
As someone who's done a fair bit of indoor gardening, including hydroponics I have to vouch for the video. Oxygen in the root zone is absolutely critical. Common potting mixes are almost universal terrible. Far too much rotting organic matter.

These days I do all my gardening in a 50/50% volumetric mixture of perlite and coco coir (buffered with calcium and magnesium). With a small amount of pH adjusted hydroponic nutrient and a watering can, the results you can achieve are just incredible, absolutely no comparison. Plus it's completely pest free so you aren't dragging in mite eggs, and fungus gnats.

Never using potting soil again, and anybody still using it should really reconsider. It's insanely counter-intuitive just how well plants can grow in something as inorganic as perlite. It just doesn't look like it should work.
"Lanier’s reasons for freeing ourselves from social media’s poisonous grip include its tendency to bring out the worst in us, to make politics terrifying, to trick us with illusions of popularity and success, to twist our relationship with the truth, to disconnect us from other people even as we are more “connected” than ever, to rob us of our free will with relentless targeted ads. How can we remain autonomous in a world where we are under continual surveillance and are constantly being prodded by algorithms run by some of the richest corporations in history that have no way of making money other than being paid to manipulate our behavior? How could the benefits of social media possibly outweigh the catastrophic losses to our personal dignity, happiness, and freedom? Lanier remains a tech optimist, so while demonstrating the evil that rules social media business models today, he also envisions a humanistic setting for social networking that can direct us toward a richer and fuller way of living and connecting with our world."
On a similar note, does anyone have a similar project based book recommendation for Django.

I have found that I generally learn better from books compared to video lectures.
He didn't compare RMS to Epstein, he referenced RMS' comments about Epstein.
This is exactly the same as the laptops have a power brick, or desktops have a PSU. It's relatively dumb AC/DC switch mode power supply (say ~90-230 to 18VDC) w/o any major care about ripple (100mV ripple is amazing already) or even exact voltage. The monitors do have more voltage regulation inside.
Reddit as a whole is less useful since comment sections were demoted from first class citizens to something barely usable. I think they saw imgur as a threat and wanted to better replicate that experience.
Wow, can't even imagine all the industries this can find application in. Love the concept - so easy.
Props!
self-censoring is still censoring so reddit inc gets best ofboth worlds, data from the subs and a clean outwardfacing facade.
>Some people think others care about culture - no, they mostly don't. They care about weather conditions, safety and job opportunities. Culture is a nice to have feature

This does not track at all with what happened to the Bay Area. Silicon Valley historically means the peninsula. GOOG, FB, AAPL and most of the other tech giants are all closer to San Jose than to San Francisco. Yet it’s San Francisco (and to an extent Oakland) who have experienced incredibly growing pains. If the culture factor didn’t matter then people would have been happy to live in San Jose which has identical (if not better) better weather, safety and job opportunities.
Blink

Problem was everyone had IE, websites were written for IE, activex, vbscript, etc

If it worked in Netscape fine, but large numbers didn’t.

On top of that, Netscape was a right resource hog.
I trust that all that practice would make someone interview really well, no need to look at how much practice they've had as a metric.
Sounds like it’s perfectly suited for indie game development where everything plus the kitchen sink is a must and the more customizable the better.
Generally whites moving into a nonwhite area has been exemplified by colonialism, which is the community being coerced into integrating with the colonists.
Not yet with the open driver though. But yeah, its GPU is much more performant and capable of GLES 3, which the etnaviv driver aims to support at some point.
Very helpful idea! Do you have any recommendations for interesting websites you like?
This is the Reddit "Out of the Loop" thread that sort of explains what's happening: https://www.reddit.com/r/OutOfTheLoop/comments/mbeycw/whats_...

It's still somewhat difficult to find a clear explanation because the admins were banning people who mentioned her by name (despite the fact that she is a public/political figure in the UK). That had an extremely chilling effect on the discussions, but now the Streisand Effect is kicking in.
Yes, that's what I mean. They allowed the subs to self-manage. They also explicitly and publicly expressed support for open discourse and admin non-interference.
We already have 6 and 8 pin additional connectors on graphics cards, so the connector/slot aspect is easily solved.

I think the underlying premise is if you upgrade graphics cards more often or otherwise buy 2-4 graphics cards for every motherboard you buy that moving the VRM to the motherboard (and add costs there), you can still save money and reduce waste.
Linus from Linus Tech Tips said that he has insider information that the problems weren't caused by miners at all, it's just that more people are working from home and need new hardware: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3A4yk-P5ukY
It can. Reddit can simply remove all the mods from the subreddits and make them public again.

Nobody should be under any illusion that they "own" their subreddits.
What's the end game here? If she is a free person - is the end goal that she never works again, anywhere, ever? Or is the goal that Reddit allow their employees be targeted and bullied by users?
I find it interesting that Reddit still manages to find themselves invoking the Streisand effect in full force.
Yeap, I think that wording is probably more accurate.
IT person sighs heavily, clamping down their helmet as they board the Dragon capsule for the weekly turning it off and on again.
Are you saying it's ok to run base stations in that band without a license? A quick search isn't showing me much.
I'm not sure I follow. Can you explain how two runtimes, each with its own green thread implementation, would interoperate in this manner to make a call across the boundary? Say, X (written in A) wants to asynchronously call Y (written in B) and wait on it, passing it Z (also written in A), which Y needs to call several times to perform its task.
You seem to have a problem with the arrest / conviction timeline.

The father was arrested, hired, then convicted and sent to jail. It is entirely possible to believe one's friends & family after their arrest, but completely change your mind once they are convicted.

What am I missing here?

Edit: maybe you are unfamiliar with Western justice systems where people are able to post a bond and remain free until the verdict and/or sentencing phase?
Happy to see someone made a version that doesn’t require Flash!
I know that banks are subject to some kind of restrictions on $10k+ transactions. Does that apply to sellers who sell directly to the public?

If you try to buy a new car with a briefcase full of cash, do they have to do something?
I'm still shocked Reddit is allowed into the wider ecosystem of tech infrastructure. Between hosting explicit gore content and very extreme pornography with borderline legality at best (Including under Alexis's and Steve's leadership allowing a jailbait subreddit to continue for years) I would have thought they'd be booted from AWS etc.
One big factor is simply that a customs authority can dictate whatever process it wishes for ships who want to load/unload cargo there.

It's also not just customs, there are a ton of ancillary processes related to berthing - things like harbor fees, environmental documentation etc.

I know of at least one case where, as recently as ~2015, a shipping company had to keep around old machines with IE8 because that was the only way to interact with authorities at a given port.

I don't think you understand the issue. There is an accidental backdoor in the extension. The maintainer can manipulate and access the pages you visit at will, without needing to release a malicious update. All these features can be implemented without the maintainer being able to hack you without a trace, there is no loss of functionality if the security issue is patched.
I guess you cannot expect from such a niche phone to compete with mass market products on price. That said, it's obviously a very individual decision if there's even a practical need for it.
Quotes in headlines are not scare quotes. They're just quotes. It's a quotation.
This is great. Reddit has been leftist shithole for a while now
In general, I find that a somewhat overused trope, and I'm particularly suspicious when it's weaponized by gentrifiers, but if you look at the rims on the car at the top of the article and the burnout later on, maybe in this case, there may be a kernel of truth to "display of toxic masculinity".

I like gadgets, and I can understand why people would want to enjoy them and show them off and I think that there should be space in society for that, but those rims and the burnouts seem to be designed to aggressively "claim space" at the expense of others.
is this not just propaganda by another name?

Seems to me that everyone wants to cast their war as a just war [0]. If that means deniable approaches or false flag operations [1] then so be it. In particular I found this excerpt from [1] ironic in the context of your comment:

> Russo-Swedish War

In 1788, the head tailor at the Royal Swedish Opera received an order to sew a number of Russian military uniforms. These were then used by the Swedes to stage an attack on Puumala, a Swedish outpost on the Russo-Swedish border, on 27 June 1788. This caused an outrage in Stockholm and impressed the Riksdag of the Estates, the Swedish national assembly, who until then had refused to agree to an offensive war against Russia. The Puumala incident allowed King Gustav III of Sweden, who lacked the constitutional authority to initiate unprovoked hostilities without the Estates' consent, to launch the Russo-Swedish War (1788–1790).

They simply said there is a brigade of "america bad, china good"

Also, this film is about Hong Kong. Talking about things the US doesn't do well steers us off topic. We have plenty of other threads to do that in.
I have the community edition and I asked myself the same question. A performance boost would have been nice. I would love and pay to have a better performance some day.
i'm going out on a limb here and __speculating__ it's the identity of this person to fulfill some kind of quota, I can't explain it otherwise.
If you read Das Kapital the only logical conclusion to draw is that this will eventually happen. Marx said something along the lines of capitalism will eat everything including itself. Communism cannot survive in a world where capitalism is active.
Some people would argue that "censorship" would not apply to a private company owned platform.

That only governments and their agents are qualified to perform act of censorship.
Some classification of these new forms of interventions:

Ukraine is more hybrid warfare.

HK is more lawfare.

Chinese maritime disputes is more gray zone warfare.
> This is the sort of thing that makes some people really wary of the GPL and other "viral" licenses

True, though the people most concerned about GPL & related licenses are usually commercial users and commercial licenses that include code access are no less "viral" then the GPL.
Is this difficult, getting approval? I don't live in a large city where the idea of building permits really comes into mind, so I don't have much experience in what could be involved there.

For some contrast, I live in the "rural" US, my home is surrounded on 4 sides by farm fields as far as you can see. This is like peering into an alien bureaucracy for me.
reddit admins responded and specifically said their automod got aggressive, remediated it, and that talking about the admin is alright as long as it isn't a dox attempt or threatening behavior.

Keep this in mind as you see other people claiming falsely that anything is still being censored.
Oh, OK, my bad. I was taking the words literally, which I suppose means that you probably won't follow the link labelled [1], and probably not the others, either.

However, my recommendation to watch Life of Brian stands :-)
The problem (from the very start) was censorship.

Reddit has always had the ability to censor.
Still got the original boxed cd at home.

Looking back it was actually a really brave, but fresh UI look. Pinstripes, semi-transparency and those big Aqua themed buttons and scrollbars everywhere.

Hats off to the designers who came up with it, it gave me a fresh perspective on computing after 4 years of working on Windows NT.
All things considered, the Hong Kong police did what they had to given their precarious position. Compare the 2 deaths during a year of protesting to the 19 deaths within a couple weeks of the George Floyd protests. Keep in mind that they're stuck with the Hong Kong police even if they are allowed to become independent, so it doesn't make sense to demonize them.

I remember dual Pentium Pro motherboards with socketed power regulator modules, one for each processor.
The issue is that almost no workplace in the US is going to work like this knowingly for salaried employees. I really doubt your current workplace is okay with you working 20hrs/week, you just likely don’t tell them that’s the case.

Maybe consider contracting instead?

Just because you haven’t made friends doesn’t mean the rest of us haven’t. On top of this, work friendships can just be that. Work friendships. Ones that last as long as you’re at that job, not all of them have to go outside of it. And that’s okay.
The problem is that the urban areas move (or rather spread), and eventually encroach on the surrounding countryside.
Reddit feels very Soviet lately. Everything is heavily manipulated and it seems like users are aware of that fact but are powerless to change anything.
I do not see OP stating that "useful" and "profitable" are mutually exclusive. I think it is widely understood that there is "usefulness" that is not satisfied by profit driven organisations, that is why we have non-profits and public institutions.
Ublock Origin does this.
Definitely agree. Looks like what you are describing is Routine (http://routine.co) :)
Maybe you can frame that as "self-employed day trader" or something. Actually this is really remarkable to be able to do that for 15 years. Most people who try that fail far earlier or don't even start.

How did you create the financial models? Pen & paper/Excel/Scripts/...?

With the help channel it might be possible put it in the CV under social engagement, like "Online Crisis hotline".
>Others may and do have the same level of skill but didn't have the bandwidth to contribute

And even more have the potential to become excellent coders but didn't have the bandwidth to develop it.

It seems peculiar to single out one quality in particular that sends a clear signal that a skill has been honed on the basis that it took time to hone that skill.

All skills take time to develop.
I speak standard colloquial international English, not the narrowly-used Anglo-American sub-dialect that makes pronouns arbitrary.
I went cold turkey at the start of Trump’s presidency. Although I will break it for specific searches such as “compare X vs Y item” when shopping, or to view links my wife sends. Wasn’t as hard as kicking my TikTok habit. It’s become a hive mind. Avoid it.
For me, it probably depends on if I have the option to go to a cafe and how nice my home office is. Right now, I'm stuck in my bedroom basically 24 hours a day because I have roommates (1 of which also works from home) and don't have room to move outside of my bedroom. This is extremely depressing. I absolutely hate it and I'd say I'm probably operating at 60% productivity or less and have been for most of the last year. But, I'm moving in May and will at least have my desk not in my bedroom. Even then, I'd rather be in person for most meetings. I think it's extremely important to have face-to-face communication the majority of the time both for social reasons, but also because it's just more efficient. Understanding on what the team is doing over the last year has dropped significantly as well, and the (remote) barriers to communication are real and have a larger than I think people realize impact.
> Intel is the only firm that can realistically keep up or out-fab TSMC

Samsung?

Realistically, Intel needs a route to actually playing at TSMC's game, currently they are instead working on paying TSMC to make them chips.

Also, nitpick here, but the TSMC problem is that China might roll in tanks, not that China controls it. Realistically speaking, it's a reasonable cause for US millitary involvement if China did. Lol, there's my World War III Shark-jump Theory: TSMC.
It looks exactly the same as on the desktop.
My spouse :)

Thank you for your feedback !
An instant messaging client shouldn’t be executing arbitrary remote code, no.
Of course, but that would break some trust where as of now most seizures are of renegade subs. Here if they seize normal subs just because they protest a bad decision by management has the potential of alienating lots of people.
Important to note that this article is written by a huge "anti-trans activist" Graham Linehan.
If you marry someone who "...under the account name Nathaniel Knight said: “I fantasise about children having sex, sometimes with adults, sometimes with other children, sometimes kidnapped and forced into bad situations.”" you are pro-pedophile.

Apple owns half of the smartphone market in the US. In most other metrics they are well below half.
Not really. It's the Free Software Foundation, not the Free People Foundation. Stallman's only goal has been to develop an ecosystem of free and open software, and his political and personal opinions have never stood in the way of that. His belief that everyone should have access to quality, open software supersedes whatever personal agenda people perceive to be true.
Yeah, clearly that was wrong. I assumed based on him being an election agent, he wasn't still in prison, and based on not being in prison, must have served the sentence. I don't know anything about how the UK system works, so bad assumptions.
This was so much fun and so easy to have a play around with. I found it to be incredibly intuitive - as someone who isn't musically talented but is curious enough to just try stuff out

After trying out the "rock you" special beat, I quickly managed to make what I think is a common rock drum beat - what I would describe as: dum ch dadum dum ch. Then while that was going, I started playing around with that beat - different variations of it, without pausing it at all. It kinda sounded like I was jamming! I carried on playing with it while it was playing the beats and had quite a bit of fun changing the beat and making a drum solo. Unfortunately I was just changing that one pizza - would be cool if you could set it to record it as you change the pizza. I went back and made a cool beat with four pizzas so I could share it here :)

He seems like a nice guy but I find that book on Dependency Injection a bit tedious.
"Finally, if you’re a racist, we’re not on your side. We are not your allies. We are not sympathizers. The “Free Speech” in our company name is not a secret dog whistle to you. We believe that America accomplished what it has despite the hatred and bigotry that has always plagued us, not because of it. We believe diversity is America’s spicy secret sauce, which we love. And we have no interest in living in a sea of mayonnaise. We do not want you to host your garbage here. We will not lift one finger to help you do that. We will kick you off the instant you give us a reason. We’re not the right service for you."

I sympathize with what you have written here, but it seems problematic to me.

Here is a thought experiment. Or maybe that is making too much of it -- it is a mere question: Would you kick someone off for expressing a thought which the Supreme Court would allow that person to host on his or her own website? If you answer yes to that, my presumptive assessment is that you are not really committed to free speech. And hence, perhaps, "nearly free speech".
This is one of the most popular opinions on Reddit.
For the PinePhone they have chosen to bundle Manjaro and Plasma Mobile. So that would seem to be the distro to focus on as an app developer...

"Today we are very pleased to announce that the PinePhone will ship with Plasma Mobile on a Manjaro ARM base from this point on."

Probably also a max false positive rate; this isn't a guarantee, just a service, so if it detects X false positives it could just exclude the repo entirely as problematic.
Hello SAWO,

The product seems interesting. Can we see a demo of how this works?
I appreciate you providing the context instead of just downvoting. Alot of this RMS stuff can be difficult to follow for some of us who haven't followed the guys career and are trying to fully understand this story.
At this point reddit is like FB, Everyone will grumble but continue using it.
At this point, it might be worth moving away from Chrome. If you're concerned about blocking ads, using a browser from the world's largest ad company sort of defeats the purpose. Maybe Firefox with uBO or uMatrix?
Are you sure you're not thinking of arguments about first amendment protections instead of censorship?
