No, I don't think they're a technological leap either. But we haven't had a real technological leap on the scale of those early inventions in a while. (I don't think smartphones or the internet count... they are commercializations of existing technologies).

Cryptocurrency is actually a technological leap without much precedent (it's sort of similar to bittorrent and some of the ideas were in the air, but no one synthesized them into something useful prior to Satoshi). I think it's still an open question to what extent it matters long-term. It's mainly used for speculation and facilitating illegal transactions currently.
That is but displacing the problem; the same problem still exists in the sense that devices are certifiable, or not.

Rather, the F.S.F. should offer a description of checkboxes on devices of which important things they do and do not do, allowing users to easily select the devices with the checkboxes they value.
> It takes me several years to actually accept that the stamp album is gone, not hiding in a box somewhere or shelved away in some dusty corner of my mum’s garage.

I lost my comic book collection. I was sure it was stolen. I looked everywhere for it.

About 20 years later it reappeared in the back of the closet. I have no explanation.
In the past, Intel simply paid your marketing campaign when you advertised its products. Remember how every manufactor had fullpage advertisements of Intel PCs in every magazine you could buy?

I'd say "hard" is a necessary but not sufficient condition. People (individually or in the aggregate) also need to be willing to pay you specifically a lot of money for what you specifically bring to the table that, in many creative fields, requires being very top tier (and lucky).

In the arts, the equivalent of a mid-tier developer makes jack squat.
I don't blame the language tbh. I blame the frameworks and tools (or the lack of) for web development.

Look, I love node and javascript. But I can't deny it is is total mistake to use it in a business context for web dev when you have django, rails or Laravel. Same for Go and many other trendy tools.... Reinventing the well is not a good business unless you're in the wheels business.
These are all great but holy moly DakhaBrakha is the best thing I've seen in a long time. Just give this a few minutes. Headphones or good speakers please lol:

I think this is the first time i've understood the siren song. I have no idea what they are saying somehow i still want to do it.
> Will reply here when resolved.

Seems other things came your way, but it seems like it's resolved now. There's plenty of stats on https://openlibrary.org/stats now and none are zero.
That's the definition of an unethical experiment design and would be considered academic misconduct if that were academic work. Regardless of intent, fb probably shouldn't be allowing front end devs to design psychological experiments at mass scale.

There're benchmarks comparing M1 with Zen 2 mobile CPUs such as Ryzen 7 4800U. Based on the results I saw, on average, AMD delivers similar single-threaded performance, and way better multithreaded performance.

Ryzen 7 4800U is very similar to Ryzen 7 Pro 5850U: same core and threads count, same frequency, same 10-25W TDP. The main difference of the new one is Zen 3 microarchitecture instead of Zen 2, and there're quite a few sources comparing Zen 3 to Zen 2.

If you want to be certain, wait for the direct benchmarks.
Hey, if this was an ironic statement then I don’t think it was called for.

I wasn’t disagreeing with you or making a counterpoint, merely adding to your “history of the decline of the south” by adding some interesting facts about how devastating Mississippi floods were the nails in a coffin that, as you pointed out, had already been glued-up, waxed and lined with silk.

Have a great day!
And I would say that going into a field that requires hitting the jackpot to not be waiting tables as a day job isn't a great strategy from an expected earnings perspective. (Which isn't to say people shouldn't do it if that's their thing.)
Isn't the problem that companies have plenty of products with Intel chips that nobody wants and they just don't want to go bankrupt so they use different tactics to manipulate consumer into buying such product?

I am looking for a laptop with the new Ryzen and it is very difficult. It seems like companies do their best to make it hard to find any of their product with AMD inside and Intel is all over the place.

I am not sure if they realise how this damages their image? Why a consumer would buy a machine with reheated vintage Intel CPU that is already obsolete when it leaves the store new?

Sure, because of misinformation. A significant number of people may hold an insignificant view; a significant number of people don't wear facemasks either.
Strategy games from that era are surprisingly neat, too.

I figured that particular genre matured game design "techniques" for itself a bit faster than others (maybe except for platformers) because of the inherent hard problem of devising adequate user interfaces for (relatively) more complex systems.

I mean, Civ II holds up really well and its from the mid 90s!
> Your writing is not strong, i can tell you did not attend college. Written communication is important in tech.
> Your applying to those companies with 0 experience or college degree is unrealistic.

Such irony.
A turning knob is not the best UI for channel selection. It is a traditional one, but even my grandmother's large box radio, that must have been manufactured something like 70 years ago (not a transistor one, mind you!) had push buttons for remembering the stations. (Besides the tuning knob.) Or maybe those were 'pre-programmed', not sure.

But again, if you didn't like them and had this gadget (or wanted an excuse to buy one ;) ), then it's the better solution. I was mainly reacting because it seemed like a lot of people thought that this is a generally practical solution.
They were audited and it was found that every USDT was backed 1:1 with a fiat equivalent, why am I getting downvoted?
I had a version that tried to do sentiment analysis on the article text and display an emoji below it. The idea being that one a certain issue you might only see positive emojis on the right and only negative ones on the left (or vice versa). Buuut it did not really work out so I scrapped it again.
It's not very clear, but from the last two descriptions it sounds to me like it has a shutoff sensor that can engage by accident or leave a child under the "off" machine.

I think that's fascinating. Lots of niceties behind the curtain. (maybe the opposite of most sites, sort of like stopping trading)
The article I was looking for! Can you please expand the section of "finding a publisher"? I was trying to write a proposal for a technical book but I don't know where to start.
Here's my "femto-library" for creating DOM dynamically from JS:

function ce(tag, attrs={}, children=[]){
var el=document.createElement(tag);
for(var attrName in attrs){
el[attrName]=attrs[attrName];
}
for(var child of children){
el.appendChild(child);
}
return el;
};
It still is a great shame that all of Librem's products only ship with an EN-US keyboard layout. I'm not sure that there are many good privacy-focused or even just Linux-laptop options in Europe – beyond Dell, I'd love to hear your suggestions.
Don't some of those help build msi packages? I thought at least InstallShield did.
You might have also encountered a bug where in the center it only show news from "everywhere". Sorry for that.
Because children are famous for obeying rules.

You can lock power tools in a cupboard or toolbox. The same cannot be said for a treadmill.
It was mostly true tho, even nowdays... Windows tools where historically in single folder.

Then came the registry

Then came the AppData.

Now its more or less the same as on linux.
But wait, this isn't a standard thing - the cargo vessel wasn't intended to stay long?
Well, technically... you are correct.

It would still be an improvement over the older BASIC dialects, because with those it was common to have a limit to the number of variables due to names being one or two letters.
I'm kinda curious which client makes writing plain text emails hard though.
I dream about it, after seing "red means recording" channel, but for me 1000$ is too much dough just for fun and games.
I’ll bet a lot of computers have it disabled: VMs, perhaps Tor Browser, kids who tweak settings for no good reason.

I like this, because it's beautifully simple. I have been collecting radio stations since 2016 now, and something I have noticed is that streaming URLs tend to break rather often. It might be worth putting them behind a simple redirect so you can change the streaming URL remotely.

As the sibling mentioned, using sudo gives the process root, with the implication being it has full access to your system and can potentially do a lot more damage. Extend this to any arbitrary installer you're running and it becomes scary. So brew's sudo-less model seems more secure in this context.

In reality however, macports uses "privilege separation" which drops privileges for each individual install to a separate "macports" user. This is more secure than brews sudoless approach because not only does the installer not have root access, it doesn't have full access to your own user either (e.g. your HOME). Privilege separation isn't possible without initially having root privileges.
I think capitalism will find its way over organic forms of financing things, even complex and expensive ones. We will go through this crysis phase where the old ways dont work anymore, and the old pals with their expensive lawyers and lobbies will harass and squeeze everybody in their way.

We already have forms of doing this right now of course, but the old, centralized, man-in-the-middle-who-steal-all-the-value, pyramidal, egotistical way are still coexisting with the new ways.

What needs to die is a way of life that is in the end burning and eating all of our planet resources like there's no tomorrow.

The internet revolution is here to stay and it can change our way of life for the better or for the worse, if we just let them impose their monopoly in a insane global level. If this happens instead, it will be pretty hard to get out of it as this new class of rulers will have power never seen before.
The proposed law was very badly written no wonder it was voted down. You can check it for yourself its 11 pages instead of reading the biased vice coverage.
"Cost disease" generally refers to the phenomenon of things becoming (relatively) more expensive because of the unavoidable human-labor component, but the Apollo missions would be more expensive for other reasons, or other requirements that necessitate human labor where said requirements didn't exist before.
This has nothing to do with scoop itself.
That would be just a regular trade like BTC/USDT. No issuance of new USDT backed with real USD

Article author here. Gmail and Apple Mail (macOS/iOS/iPadOS). I had to install aerc on a server to subscribe and post to the list.
As a publisher author of a non-fiction book with an established publisher, I had to stop reading after that first point because he is completely wrong.
Linux is a large ecosystem, supporting many different functions (embedded to some extent; desktop; server; supercomputer clusters, etc). For any one of these, the other 'stuff' represents cruft. The BSDs (I am partial to NetBSD) tend to give you a basic substrate of 'the system', and you add what you need via 'packages'. It's a different philosophy, but no less valid.
Absolutely amazing. I probably spent more hours playing Rock Band than all other games combined.

One thing was a bit unclear: is Raspberry Pi doing the blob detection, or is it running on the Macbook?

Also, why only 97%?
Everyone I know is buying new M1 macs. There is simply no competition currently for the price and performance. I hate Apple, but I am considering getting one too. I am tired of my Intel laptop constantly spinning loud fans.
My True 500 had nothing to prevent something from being pulled under it. Landice makes high end residential treadmills and their models don’t appear to either:

https://www.landice.com/sites/default/files/90%20SERIES_SERV...

However, compared to those treadmills, the Peloton Tread+ has much larger diameter rollers and step-up height. It's also much heavier (455 lbs vs 340 lbs). It looks uniquely dangerous to me among residential treadmills.

You haven't at all responded to your parent comment whose premise was that many frontend devs cannot utilize the freedom that you are apparently enjoying.

IMO it's not the topic here if JS should at all be used. You won't catch me arguing with that -- my answer is almost always "NO!".

The topic was: "but can you make web pages like 20 years ago in the current frontend dev jobs market?" -- the answer that is "no" as well IMO.
Yeah, I'm not really trying to bust them. More like trying to suggest "Don't try inhaling oils at home as a DIY thing. It has a track record of landing people in the ER."

I'm not a doctor, etc. I just have been discussing health stuff online a lot of years and I've seen people leap to conclusions that did not end well.
We are so good at monetising attention for profit that we are starting to starve the very social contracts that bring us stability.

Which would be correct, surely?
I am not using VMs (unless you count the JVM or something) and I regularly exceed 16GiB of ram. I offloaded my docker VM to another machine because it was so bad.

For context I regularly have open (what I consider to be standard apps):

* IntelliJ IDEA (Pycharm or Clion, never both)

* Slack

* Chrome

* kitty (20 or so terminals)

* Outlook

* yabai & bartender

* littlesnitch & adguard

The owners of and investors in publishing houses, movie studios, and music labels tend to expect something beyond 'making a living'. Whereas those who actually generate cultural phenomena (our culture, aka the shared framework of references that allows us to define an us) see little to nothing from work that is foundational to multi-billion dollar media empires. Not making a living means that the class of people most free to engage in cultural creation are those who are independently wealthy.

'Follow your passion' brings with it the perversity of if you love it, then that should be reward enough. Much in the way that doctors and nurses have been labeled as 'heroes' is used as a smoke screen to not increase pay or alleviate working conditions because you love your work and can you really be a hero if you expect money from it?

One way or another, it seems, human society appears bent on perpetuating the idea that some people should generate value for others without compensation in regards to that value.
A friend recently pointed out that fandoms are like a fractal, and as you zoom in it becomes increasingly hardcore and dedicated.

The next layer on your list is probably the stamp collector that only loves a certain kind of stamp with some obscure feature and will talk your ear off about it. Probably something like how only the stamps made in a specific year by one company are any good because they use a highly specialized glue which really makes it the pinnacle of stamp technology. A real "they just don't make em like they used to".

People become obsessed with things to such an extreme degree that they end up drowning out anyone without an equivalent level of dedication. It becomes a problem when people chose to play status games instead of just enjoying their hobby.
1. Even if we start today, and all new code is written in Rust, it will be years before Rust has an impact on compile time.

2. A relatively small portion of code can account for the majority of exploited vulnerabilities.

3. Nothing about Rust is fundamentally slow with regards to compile times. There's plenty of time to work on it, and we've already seen significant efforts make headway.

Compile times are a nonissue in any practical sense for this work.

Yeah, I totally get the concerns about Tether's solvency. I guess what I don't get is why Tether remains popular, as a product that isn't unique. Is it just that it's too dangerous for everyone to admit that the emperor has no clothes, because it would crash the whole system? Is it not a liquid market?

If I were sitting on a bunch of USDT, but I wanted to be holding USD stablecoins, just generally speaking, why not swap them into a different stablecoin?

Maybe another question I should be asking is what proportion of Tether is being used to collateralize leveraged long positions in other crypto assets? Maybe that's why this is a tinder box?

Sorry for all of the questions, but legitimately trying to understand what people are talking about.
With a RaspberryPi, a serial interface and a real VT terminal you can still do a lot of things!
It's hard to overstate how harmful to discourse it is to equate simple conservatism with supporting the killing of people perceived by many further down that side of the spectrum as political enemies, regardless of who was most at fault. That is not just "being conservative", and asserting that it is implies that a conservative can not have a differing opinion on complex situations like these, and therefore contributes to the stereotype of the hateful conservative.
I was having lunch with a friend of mine recently, and he remarked that of his friends he had, I was the closest to being a Republican and he wondered what news site I read.

He was surprised to learn that my go-tos were generally to the left of what he read, for exactly the reason you describe.

If a story is getting attention across the spectrum, 'the opposition' is always more likely to capture the facts that you might miss.

It seems like you’re implying that, by explaining in slightly more detail how this might have happened, you somehow show that the journalist was oversimplifying or distorting things. But, no, your last sentence is definitely still correct.
how much are these numbers skewed by academic monographs? these are books that are basically going to be sold only to university libraries, which might explain why they sell <500 copies.

there are many such books where no author ever expects to make money -- they have other incentives due to the way academia is organized.
