A good suggestion, but LibreJS is about blocking non-trivial JavaScript which isn't Free Software, it's not about vetting specific JavaScript files. A malicious website can declare its JavaScript to be Free Software, and LibreJS will then permit that script to run.

> the state generally sucks at doing these things.

Most European states do a great job of this - the suck part comes (like in the UK), when the state stops supporting this and a generation of people are left without decent housing options.

I put up an AP at the other end of my apartment from where my router sits, chose non-overlapping 5GHz channels with no interference from neighbors, tuned the transmit power so the signal level from each sits at around -60dBm where they overlap, and got everything 2.4GHz-only either wired with ethernet or replaced.

Now I just wish my neighbors would do the same, but I am not going to be the one to suggest it. If I fix up their networking, I will forever be on the hook if anything goes wrong or they face intermittent outages. Been there, done that, didn't even get a t-shirt. Unpaid network janitor is not something I need to add to my resume.

Perhaps one could make work as a network tech for home users, but I feel like people either don't want to pay for it, or don't care because it's "good enough".
Yes, this is normal in Germany. The idea is that you're legally only allowed to work 40-ish hours per week and your employer is legally required to ensure that you observe break times and at least 24 hours of rest on the weekend. In turn you are usually required to get signoff if you want to do another job on the side, though I think volunteer work is generally allowed. I have no idea how this works for part-time jobs and why your employer can allow you to take a second job if doing so will violate the legally mandated recovery periods.
> Capitalism, a set of social policies that prioritises the needs of capital over the needs of people

I'm not sure that there's a consensus around that definition of capitalism.
In Europe we have internet providers who 'helpfully' send you boxes you plug into your wall sockets and allow you to use your electrical infra as network cables. Lovely concept, you don't have to run your own network cables.

Ofcourse proper network cables are twisted in pairs and shielded for a reason: so no signal gets in, but also next to none comes out. All the copper in your house essentially acts as one big antenna if you use these powerline communication boxes. You would not believe what the spectrum looks like next to one of these houses. Ask any HAM operator, they have a deeply rooted hate against these things.

Thank goodness they seem to die out slowly since powerline communications doesn't seem to be able to keep up with increasing broadband speeds. As it turns out you need proper network cables to get halfway decent speeds.

Design and art styles are fads. As soon as minimalism becomes oversaturated, and it already is, people will shift to another art movement. No need to panic, it has happened before, it will happen again.

Articles like this one are actually what will drive the shift towards adopting new art styles.
A lot of organizations bought everything they could get a few years ago (especially airlines and U.S. military were buying like crazy and paying incredible prices).

The system is so heavily manipulated. I don't trust statistics anymore.

I remember reading a statistic that only 35% of wealth is inherited... The way I read this now is that 35% of wealth is inherited via a will after a parent's death and 64.9% is inherited via some kind of money laundering or power laundering financial scheme while the parents are alive... Leaving only 0.1% to real, self-made individuals.

One of the first things everyone should do on a new network setup is disable 802.11b, this raises the minimum modulation in beacons from 1mbps to 6mbps which helps a little.
To get started with reading we found the “endless reader” apps really caught children’s interest and are quite well done. They help introduce the basics of recognizing words and spelling in an interactive way. Use in conjunction with actual books of course :)

Elephant and Piggie (Mo Willems) are great, they have simple pictures and large, short colourful text mostly in word bubbles, and the stories are quite fun and tend to have plot twists (children love surprises). Highly recommended.

We also had a lot of success with good old Dr. Seuss classics, though those will take a bit longer as they are more complex (though this should give you an idea of how simple Elephant and Piggie are heh)
Seems it is case of yet another page that relies on (google) analytics to work properly: it works with Enhanced Tracking Protection turned off. (Shield at the start of URL bar.)

So it is basically "you have to let us track you to read our content". /Bold move, let's see if it pays off…/

EDIT: NM, seems it is unrelated to tracking after all; just some spaghetti code that (presumably) attaches load event handler too late.
I paid for and used Volumio for several months, but found it fairly unstable and in need of frequent reboots. In the end I bit the bullet and paid for Roon, although I'm now regretting that in light of the Youtube Tidal/MQA takedown.

There are many apps like this one and even older apps. Some can be from the early 90's or even late 80's.

The equivalent MacOS app would have been unusable, I imagine, as well as many Linux desktop apps. Especially those before the Great ELF Transition (1996?) as well as those before the Great ABI Breakage (I don't remember the year, it was a major glib change, maybe in 2005?).
Those are good examples, thank you!

Pixel art is actually very easy and cheap to create, even cheaper than a vector icon of the same resolution/color depth. The issue is that it doesn't easily lead to pixel-perfect rendering at any resolution; there are good resampling algorithms but they work in fixed steps like 2x or 3x.

Personally I feel like buying housing, at least in the UK, makes a lot of sense. However, I have a friend who is currently in that kind of situation where it's certainly made me think twice.

She bought a new built flat about 5 years ago in the outskirts of London. Following the Grenfell disaster it has gotten caught up in the inspections for fire safety and is now practically worthless until ~£70k worth of remedial works are carried out. She cannot remortgage it, she can't rent it out and she can't sell it. Pretty nasty scenario.
Interesting, thanks for the link. Does it plug in to any of the music streaming services - Spotify (obviously) but how about Qobuz?

EDIT: I can see Spotify on the list, but Qobuz is only via UPnp, which is what I remember being unstable on Volumio.
Makes sense to me. We should be using the best tool for the job, and JavaScript isn't always the best tool.
I'm endlessly fascinated how we on HN have the arrogance to assume we can do things like auto-generate Beatles songs or episodes of Seinfeld. Do you think comedy writers are sitting around the writing room saying "Man, in 5 years we'll be able to take over those nerd jobs, no problem."

To auto-generate Seinfeld or Beatles... you have to be able to create as well as Seinfeld or the Beatles. Try it sometime. When you make a billion dollars and change popular culture, answer this post and I'll eat crow.

Then you need to be able to do what no one else in history has been able to do, which is bottle that skill.

I read physical and ebooks a lot but I also listen to an Audiobook on my walk each day, I'd recommend trying it out if you feel the to read something. The only value I found in summary services is using them to decide if I'll read the full book. I feel the missing context and stories don't anchor the summaries as well in my mind as when I read a full book, the experience is almost devoid of the joy of reading and feels like an exercise in trivia assimilation.
> Being an introvert doesn't mean you don't want to be around civilization.

As someone who lived in Manhattan, I used to believe this.

Then the pandemic happened, and I watched how our so-called "civilization" handled it. I could not really imagine a worse outcome: it was mismanaged and terrible from the highest levels of authority down to the most insignificant end-user.

Now this introvert very much wants the option of being not around civilization at times. I don't trust civilization to remain civilized, in even a minor pinch.

I will likely build a house 100km from anything, and spend 25-50% of each year there.
But you can make this work if you also just store the number of samples per bucket, right?

> (255ms + 59ms) / 2 = 157ms

But

> ((10 * 255ms) + (1000 * 59ms)) / 1010 = 60.94ms

Which is the same answer I get as averaging all the samples without bucketing. (I can't get 97ms though)

There is more than one "generation of people who question capitalism". Why reduce the critique to a single generation?

> A trillion dollars of dud mortgages blew up the financial system in 2007-08.

How about the bad banking system that enabled this rottenness? Even I understand that "corrections" happen.

> America’s GDP could be 4% higher. That is an enormous prize.

It is not the only "prize". Cities have been vibrant because they have been liveable. Quality of life is a benefit of a healthy community. I want to live somewhere in peace with clean resources and necessary services, without the threat of eviction. I like having a good job but I would not trade my health or the health of family and friends just for a job.

The hollowing of communities for the "prize" of a wealthy elite's profit is a threat to Democracy. Not all NIMBYism is to be deplored -- some of it is lucid resistance.

Is the argument then that "cities" are more "vibrant economic units" than they are communities? I don't agree. Quality of life has a cost.

Some of the things that needs to happen: investment in public transportation, incentives for distributing employment geographically (telework and distributed spaces), policies to protect quality of life, and taxes that distribute fairly the cost of maintaining community and services.
> a minimum 5% deposit + 3-5% stamp duty

Oh wow. I had to read the rest of your comment twice to understand that you were saying these seem high to you. They seemed really low to me. To put it into perspective, you need a 10-20% deposit in Belgium (depending on various factors) and there's a 6% tax for an old house (10% up until very recently) or 21% for a new house. It's basically impossible to buy a house if you're young or single or come from a poor family. I feel your pain.
Not really, the problem described in the article could be rewritten to think of Next as a function World->World.
Most homes are purchased for the purpose of living in them. Additionally, monthly rental income is less than a quarter of loan payments, assuming 80% of total is taken as loan, which is true in most cases.

Loan tenures are about 25 years, so most families take a home and pay the loans during their active service life.

About 10 or 15 years down the line, one or two floors are added to tge house, for rental purpose. Here too, rental is less than half of construction cost. Again, intent is for very long term appreciation of the asset, rather than a passive income source.
Estimating the True State of Global Poverty with Machine Learning
I get the feeling, just want to say that it all worked out well (towards "spectacularly well") for me. It's easy to say "for any amount of money" in the abstract, but that job directly and indirectly took me from "relatively poor" to "fatfire-level-of-rich". And didn't _really_ restrict me in any way - I got the written approvals to teach when needed, and contributing to OSS was possible (though there was some red tape).

I'm by no mean advocating that one should ignore the contracts, but I do think you need to look at the larger picture... sometimes it just is overzealous lawyers and not necessarily a bad company to work for.
Thanks! I loved this class in college, Will be fun to study this material again
That is a recent shift. They used to take their dual mandate a lot more seriously. In fact that used to be the primary mission, before the offensive cyber command was integrated into the dual hat scheme. This was largely a behind the curtains shift, one with minimal input from congress and largely off the radar of voters.

The interactions of NSA and NIST reveal that the NSA is not just an offensively postured organization, they are perfectly willing to destroy US security in the large if it allows them to deliver tasty intercepts in the small.
Again, investing in passive index funds avoids most of the deli-style shenanigans. More policy based decision making, less judgment calls.
This is very different because what the previous comment is suggesting is that it will be impossible to rent out a property without losing ownership of it after x years. This would make it very unappealing to rent out a property and it would cause property prices to crash.

On the other hand, mortgages only cause property prices to go up because it allows people who could otherwise not afford a house to buy one outright (creating higher aggregate demand). At the same time, it makes it more appealing to own a house because you can collect rent on it and prices always go up because banks keep making loans to people to drive up your property's price.
Ok, but that is kind of orthogonal to the point I was making. I was just stating that it follows from the math that the notes in a 7-note scale are not evenly spaced. The same is true for a pentatonic scale, for the same reason: The intervals corresponds to the simplest ratios (2:3, 3:4 etc.) but these do not in turn correspond to divide the octave evenly.

I'm a programmer. I also enjoy occasionally producing electronic music, usually within the trance genre. Nevertheless as a good programmer I'm lazy and that reflects in my music creation. I'm a minimalist, but minimalist trance doesn't sound so good in my opinion. Many layers are often needed, with complex melodies, if you want it to sound professional.

On the other hand, acid techno seems to be minimalist by design, I love it. If I can create it programmatically even better. Mixing automation with some human interaction seems to be the best of both worlds. I'm in love with this and feeling like creating my own acid techno production tool, with a mix of automation and interaction.

I'm sure the halt instruction does reduce CPU power but it isn't that significant compared to the overall power of the cartridge and other peripherals.
Not really, the problem described in the article applies to any kind of spec.

You could take the specs to be "x must blink" and "y must blink". Either of these informal specs are more or less explicit enough to implement directly, but the spec "both x and y must blink" can be interpreted in too many ways to implement.
Consider moving to 5GHz and installing a few metal reflectors/surfaces to direct the signal that comes though doorways and other openings about the house. If your ceilings are plaster you might be able to get up in the roof space and set up a bunch of reflectors to direct the energy though the ceilings and over the tops of the walls. The total cost could be a roll of aluminum foil, as used in cooking.

It seems amazing that some people have to be taught things like this as an adult. There seem to be certain things that some people will "just know", while others need to be explicitly taught. I needed to explicitly learn how to socialise. Nobody teaches you how to do it, but there are many rules you are expected to know and follow. I think a lot of these things aren't explicitly taught because it allows certain people to be superior to others. Finance is a good example of this.

One reason for less rentals, is the cultural norm of home ownership, which is often seen as a very reliable and solid sign of income stability.

Another reason is lack teeth in laws that implement rental agreements. In fact, most owners hardly take any rental agreements or leases.
