It's a big topic and there isn't enough info here to really say for sure what will work for you.

Do you have to work? If not, try learning another skill: an instrument, juggling, cooking, a language, motion graphics.

Did you burn out? It might help to ensure that you commit yourself to keeping a good work-life balance, and then take baby steps: work just a half hour a day at most until you find yourself working longer.

Are you depressed or anxious? See a doctor.

But this idea of starting very slowly will likely help get you back into things. One week imagine a project you want to work on. The next week write about it. The next week spend no more than an hour or two developing it. Eventually get yourself comfortable again actually coding, then looking for a job

Good luck! Keep us updated

There is very little going on in any appliance that couldn't be run by a mechanical timer of yore. If there's ever a popular movement to remove the surveillance antifeatures from modern appliances (and I sure hope there will be!), it'll be as simple as popping in a different control board.

BTW does anybody know of any pointers to community projects that are making hardware for this type of thing? I've got it on my long term todo list to create a replacement board for a washer with a "bad control board", but wouldn't want to waste the effort if there are already projects doing this.
On iOS, Safari with a couple content blockers (like Purify and/or 1Blocker) do a pretty decent job. Once in a blue moon something will get through, but the goal of dramatically improving load times and decrudding pages is accomplished well enough for me.

On Android, Firefox supports a subset of extensions that includes uBlock Origin. Chrome seems to be the dominant browser on Android but regardless of how good it is, I can't imagine not using Firefox there.

Red Hat is also the main contributor to the linux kernel, almost every year. Red Hat is probably the company with the largest contribution to the open source world at large, and it's been that way before most of the other big players of today were born.
The tweet says "joe biden seems to ignore iran nuclear deal", followed by 3 questionmarks and hashtag #conspiracy. There is no information or value in the tweet.
The effort to impact ratio is wildly different among bugs in a large backlog. Sometimes a 10-minute single line change will produce a massive benefit for all users. Other times a developer can slog on a bug for weeks only to realize that no one cares about the fix anymore. You want to start tackling the ones in the first category before spending time on the second.
I was just reading up on "The Hygiene Hypothesis", and it seems like there's little evidence to back up the claim that our environment is "too clean". If anything, I suspect our environment is more likely to be too polluted than to clean. Think lead poisoning up until a few decades ago, or BPA and its ilk currently.
So, I guess we're one step closer to a world where we're ruled by immortal billionaire elites who harvest the blood of the underclass to sustain them??
And the difference is striking. I had some steaks from a freshly slaughtered cow not too long ago and despite being at best choice grade it tasted better than some prime steaks I’ve had.
Death is already a difficult thing to think or talk about for your loved ones let alone harvesting the organs from your body.

I see in the comments pleas for Joe to come back to Youtube.

I dont know why this happens but Spotify does not work with UConnect on my Jeep. It plays for 1-2 seconds and then mutes. Spotify is the only music/audio platform that doesnt work with Uconnect, but that immediately removes it from being played in my car. Long car rides are where I consume podcasts, so no Joe Rogan.
I believe GP was suggesting that making a decision should be mandatory at some point. While I personally prefer the default here be to opt in as a donor, GP suggested merely that a decision as to yes or no should be required.

Where I live, one must state organ donor preference when obtaining a driver's license. I believe the default answer is no if you choose not to choose.
After following a few links through this one. It sounds like it might be the "LG Homehack vulnerability" discussed here:

Screen sharing and screenshots weren't an afterthought. Weston had support for those for a long time, but gnome and kde decided to do something different, probably because they saw pipewire was maturing.

Allowing arbitrary clients to globally capture keys at will is impossible to do without opening up a hole for keyloggers. Maybe someone will figure out a good way to do this but I wouldn't hold my breath. You're better off writing a compositor extension to do what you want.

The CSD-vs-SSD debate isn't anything new, there were apps that used CSD before wayland, and there were X11 window managers that didn't draw any window decorations. There is fragmentation there but it's caused by the apps, you won't fix that one without rewriting all of them to have the same policy on decorations, probably that means redesigning all of them to use the same widget toolkit and designs.

Ampersand (EV motos)|Sr Software Architect, Sr EE, Sr ME | East Africa | Full-Time

Ampersand is an energy and mobility startup headquartered in Kigali, Rwanda. We‘re achieving the world’s first true mass-market shift to electric vehicles, a vital tipping point in the fight against climate change.

East Africa’s 5 million moto taxi drivers are some of the hardest working people on the planet. Many days these drivers work more than 13 hours yet end up with little money in their pockets. Our energy and vehicle service platforms offer savings that can double a driver’s income.

We're hiring for several lead engineering positions to implement and optimize the EV motorcycles and battery swap stations.

This seems more than a little exaggerated. Even in the early stuff I saw about cleaning surfaces expressed uncertainty about it.

Any time a new disease appears, most of the advice you're going to get will be stuff they thought up in advance. Washing your hands and cleaning more aren't normally going to hurt anything, so you'll probably see that every time some new disease pops up.
As I understand it, it's Apples fault for requiring all browsers delivered by it's App Store to be basically wrappers around Safari.
Spoken like someone who has never lived paycheck to paycheck and been caught in a debt spiral.

You are correct, not having access to credit is a bad thing. But having access to predatory credit is a WORSE thing. There's a reason we outlawed indentured slavery and "company scrip", and payday loans are a half a step up from that situation.
Never really got the appeal of Chrome. Firefox worked very well for me for years.
This is technical and interesting, but can anyone tell the difference between web browsing with FF/uBo and Chrome/uBo? I personally cannot, other than that the fonts render a bit differently. Webpages load fast and no ads get through in both cases.
At that point in time (assuming time has any meaning in that reference frame,) everything will be moving away from everything else faster than any force, even information, could possibly travel between them. There won't be computers. There won't even be atoms to make matter to make computers with.

Nvidia has a difference in how they implement their driver that would have required a number of players to each implement support for NVIDIA separately from other hardware because NVIDIA wants to directly use a lot of code it uses on other platforms on Linux.

Unfortunately due to the misdesign of Wayland each graphical environment must write code to more directly interface with hardware instead of that being a layer above that. This means in current context it is vastly easier if NVIDIA bends on this issue however they also have the least incentive because most of their money isn't earned on the Linux Desktop.

People seem to suppose that somehow hardware vendors owe Linux users support and support in the fashion that would be desirable as if somehow not supporting the standards that others do is somehow wronging those developers and users but a private company in fact doesn't owe said developers or users ANY support of any kind.
Scientists are human, and they will make mistakes, the benefit is that there are many of them with different incentives. The "Blocked Virology" twitter account references a lot of previous lab escapes to say that lab escapes are possible, this is good evidence against your point - how do you think we know about the previous escapes? It wasn't a random group of technically-minded individuals, it was experts that tracked it down.

The level of arrogance necessary to believe that any "technically minded" individual can find where the virus originated is mind blowing to me. Logic isn't the end-all-be-all, for many fields you must also have knowledge. We should not ignore the blindspots that deep knowledge can introduce but to just dismiss it is absurd.
Yeah, or you know you could also not eat fish in the first place.
The Leolabs Visualizer is pretty amazing. I didn't understand what the red gates were on the map until I looked inward - they're running their own radar sites in different parts of the world to track the objects privately. That's cool.

The only “trick” is that this preparation seems so boring, so impossibly tedious, that when we see the effect we can’t imagine that anyone would do something so tedious just for this simple effect.

Even magicians who know many tricks will still enjoy the show and appreciate the effort.

Prestige is a great movie about this very topic.
I can really relate to this. Countless times I've run into tasks that are even only minor grinds (some tedious work that maybe takes 30 minutes to an hour to do), and countless engineers I've worked with will just complain, avoid, or just plain be unwilling to do them. They'll indulge in discussing why things are wrong this way, what architecture should be like etc. And countless times, I'll just get through the minor grind and do the thing. Many of these engineers are smarter and more knowledgeable than I am, but when the time comes for performance reviews, promotions, these grinds really count. It's exactly as the author describe it, these grinds look like magic to the audience (management); because they are impactful to the business. Having said that, of course it's no excuse to create or perpetuate poor engineering or architecture by grinding. It's a balance.
That's a great question and I need to refine my thoughts here more. But my take is that we should separate out how teaching/learning occurs and how students are credentialed. We shouldn't have big institutions supplying solutions for all of these different pieces. We could also split up a "degree" into smaller chunks. Maybe I pay Coursera for a macroeconomics course and certification on that topic, but I pay Udemy for a calculus course and certification on that topic. Or maybe a different provider certifies me on a collection of topics to say that I am a ready practitioner of macroeconomics.
Dude I've seen people who absolutely understand that it's a ponzi, and jump in it to screw the greater fools by being themselves the greater fool of others.

Most people join ponzis knowingly trying to make an impossible buck on the back of the next guy.

I can understand poor communities exploited by MLM companies, maybe (but who thinks money comes from selling idiotic products to your friends, really?), but ponzi victims losing all their saving when it falls should consider:

- why put so much in non mainstream vehicles (cash, real estate, your company's stock)

- if non insured by the government, it's always a possibility to lose it all, it can't be such a surprise. Even a nice house can lose all its value due to a construction nearby

What are your thoughts on no code building tools?
This is partly driven by fear of the de facto activists (graduates) that graduate from ideological bootcamps (universities) and infiltrate (join the ranks of) corporations, and partly fear of activists in the media.

Frankly, much of the activism we're seeing isn't all that dangerous to get behind and parrot given the current climate, so there's no real swimming upstream here (what's more "risky" at most colleges: being conservative or liberal? Which would make you terminally unhip?). Many students simply absorb the worldview imparted to them by university education (+ media and primary ed) without ever really stopping to consider any of it. So if you want a glimpse of tomorrow, look to what college students are learning today.

So there's an element of concerted political action (surveillance, the fusion of state and corporation, radical social changes esp. where human sexuality is concerned), but a good dose of the logic of the culture playing out. Ideas have consequences. It just takes a while for them to unfold. It would however be foolish to ignore the oligarchic dimension of it all. Plato's Republic has much to say about this and it rings eerily true.
There is a phrase:

"He is well-schooled but poorly educated"

This is specifically and commonly referring to Ivy League grads.

A degree is a Bayesian result that might (or might not) indicate successful education. Thus being schooled and being educated are not the same thing. One is maybe the map to the other being the territory.

Part of the problem when discussing greenhouse gas emissions is that we're not only talking about carbon dioxide, but also all carbon dioxide equivalents.

For example, one molecule of methane (CH4) contains the same amount of carbon [the element] as carbon dioxide (CO2), but is >= 28x more potent as a greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide (https://clear.ucdavis.edu/explainers/why-methane-cattle-warm...).

Therefore, when talking in carbon dioxide equivalents (i.e. making something carbon neutral), my understanding is that for 1kg of methane emitted by cattle, there would need to be ~28kg of carbon dioxide equivalent sequestered by the soil.

Even if cattle produced only CO2, to create a closed carbon cycle, it seems like soil would still be insufficient for carbon sequestering, unless you have massive tracts of land for relatively few cattle. Cattle need a constant input of feed, but it takes time to remove GHGs from the atmosphere.

It's my regular browser for years. There's a lot of things it does well or differently. For example, one UI thing I appreciate about it is the ability to override a webpage's font type and size choice. Chromium browsers don't let you do that, you only get to pick if the website didn't pick for you.
It depends on how it's done. A neighbor of mine works for a golf course owned by the city and said they started out spraying a mix of bleach in water on everything.
Unfortunately they found out a few months into the pandemic that it's only active for something like 12-24 hours after mixing with water, and they had been mixing it in big batches to use over the course of several days.
They switched to hydrogen peroxide instead, which isn't as broadly effective against bacteria or viruses as bleach, but is effective against coronavirus and has an indefinite shelf-life.
Thats how you show that you have real power.

I was responding to your claim/question (not the article):

> Isn't the "work should just be for work" attitude simply a political statement of its own—one in support of the status quo?

If we accept your premise, it allows for no neutral zones or moments in life. Every space is either actively political (by welcoming political expression) or is passively political (by excluding it).

Yes, we spend much more of our time at work than at weddings. But a workplace is also a captive space that people enter to support themselves, not for the purpose of associating with a particular group of coworkers. To me the captive nature of the space should lean even more towards political neutrality. A street preacher with a megaphone you can simply walk away from.
> somewhat irrelevant but harmless relic of a bygone era, about which I am largely indifferent.

Many old people, still alive, lived a good chunk of their lives in what was a British colony then and he was the prince then too. Neither was it that far back in history, nor was it harmless :)
You can be indifferent like many others and celebrate the British monarchy, but I suppose I cannot, like many others.
Honestly I have no idea... I think it's easier to give it a shot than to try to answer that question
Being a Khronos standard doesn't mean it exists anywhere.

EGLStreams doesn't exist on Windows, as Windows doesn't have any EGL at all. Similarly while EGL is used on Android, Android doesn't support EGLStreams and probably won't as the functionality already exists & EGL is on the way out long-term as Vulkan adoption picks up.

With all that said, EGLStreams is probably also not going to get adoption on most platforms as it's pretty terrible & inferior to what most platforms already have. Which is, on most platforms you can work directly with buffers instead of being forced into a specific point to point pipe (Android's HardwareBuffe or iOS/Mac's CVPixelBuffer)
Right - but the kid was two, and the presumably within the dosage recommendations given by both the manufacturer and the FDA.

I was specifically responding to the claim that administering Benadryl to a two-year-old was “insane” and “dangerous and irresponsible”.
> I made a lot of enemies out of them when I told the profs to look at my (GPG-signed) git commits and consider how they want to distribute grading points.

I laughed. Did it change something in the end?
Your father is right. I would still visit the gravesite to remind myself of death in general. I imagine it helps ground me, prioritize things, etc.
My only complaint on mobile is that the UI for customizing settings is annoying, eg for allowing JavaScript.

But that's the fault of Firefox.

I'm always astonished how bad/slow the mobile web experience is without Ublock with JS blocked by default.

On ISA-bus DMA: it was horrendously slow. They kept the 8237 DMA controller speed pretty much unchanged even after faster processor speeds appeared (maybe for backwards compatibility- the one thing that the PC centralized DMA controller must work for is the floppy controller).

I designed a card that used DMA before I understood this. PIO was much faster. So for example "UDMA" for the ATA-3 IDE drives was dependent on PCI-bus or on-motherboard ports.
I am interested in the recent change you are referring to. Is there a good article on how to use it on Windows or at least Linux?
What Should Be Done to Curb Big Tech?
do it! Years ago my team messed around with using lambdas to pull/push data from sqlite into s3 and it worked pretty well for certain regime sizes and workloads! Then we partitioned the data to filter out the slow zones into more robust/long running things like a job queue and postgres
Or cloudflare workers are basically the equity of Lambda@Edge since it predates workers
Right? I'd never heard it had a bad name but I never used Linux in the 90s. I'd installed thousands of those cards through my years, they were tanks. Cheap, reliable, compatitble with everything.
This part is about batch jobs that we start, not about daemons. The APT package would take about a minute to install, but some of these batch jobs are started by a user interaction, and we can't delay them for that long.
I didn’t say soy, I said “plants”. This includes everything we can’t eat - grass, and perhaps low quality soy.

There’s an immense amount of green things growing we can’t digest that cows, sheep, goats, and chickens will happily chomp on or peck at. The idea is that we then eat the cows, etc. It’s simple really.

As an aside, I’ve been on a fat-loss diet all lockdown long, and if it wasn’t for animal products, it simply wouldn’t have worked as well as it did. I need high protein within a limited calorie budget. Hello, chicken breasts and whey powder.

Anyway, if cows are not a good enough system to feed 7 billion people, we should grow fake cow parts in vats, also neatly eliminating the need to kill the animals. I’d be the first to sign up for a fake steak, if it was chemically identical to a grass-fed one (the taste of which is fantastic, absolutely beyond description)
I used to be a big fan of Derren Brown when I was younger, and I do still like a lot of his work, but he readily admits to deceiving the audience, and the deception includes the explanations he gives for his techniques.
The video you linked to was part of a longer show (The System) which gives an explanation for how this trick was done - he says they kept filming take after take, for 9hrs, until they finally got ten heads in a row.

I think that kind of brute force approach would have been excessively boring to him, and it's much more likely that he switched to a gimmicked coin to get the ten heads in a row, then filmed a few shots of throwing tails for the "explanation".
These laws and regulations developed not just randomly but because corporations treated workers almost like slaves.
I certainly agree with you that those stories are shocking and horrific, those reports were about delivery drivers, not warehouse workers, so it’s not really relevant to this particular discussion.
I grew up in Pennsylvania and it certainly got dry and staticky in the house - I've been shocked by many a door knob and now that you mention it I did sometimes have to peel certain articles apart (e.g. fleece) when taking them out of the dryer. I guess I never thought of that as a problem that needed to be solved though.
Jekyll, Gatsby etc are not really comparable unless you pair them with a CMS of some kind
>The same, I find news articles particularly bad examples. I get advertisments, but news articles with excessive clickbaiity adds (adds not internal links to other articles) really do just make me close the tab down.

Yeah, they follow every dark pattern in the book, especially on mobile. 90% of the time, I'll see a video at the top that autoplays, and then if I scroll down, it will make the video hover over the 75% of the article I'm trying to read. Who is this supposed to benefit?
