This feature allows you to download a youtube video and watch it offline. It also lets you play it in background mode so you can listen to audio with the screen off. Google doesn't let you do that unless you pay for youtube.

Orthodox (and broadly, "Rabbinic") Judaism place equal weight on the "Oral Torah" – a set of evolving traditions and insights which orbit the written books in vast and intricate constellations. To deny the validity of the Oral Torah is considered heretical. If you were to just follow the 5 books, and nothing else, most modern (Orthodox) Jews would say "that's not Judaism [as we understand/perceive it]".

I’ve not read the book but the first thing that came to mind was how does this explain the boomers?

If I am understanding the premise correctly it’s implying there’s some meaningful distinction across generational lines about mental resilience?

The last five years have made that abundantly clear that premise would have some real flaws in it.
Your idea about paying a yearly subscription vs having advertising presents a false dichotomy. Since the internet is a public good, search functionality could be reasonably delivered for cents on the dollar by a public utility.
I'm a native Hebrew speaker. We basically have one way to say each vowel. It took practice for me (not with a coach but with some training videos etc) to even hear the different ways English speakers pronounce them, my brain just wasn't tuned to hear them, let alone pronounce them.

Week, weak and wick will be pronounced and will sound exactly the same to a non trained Hebrew speaker, and to much much more hilarity - sheet/shit, peace/piece/piss.
For about the same amount of years, I have thought of my life as playing multiple Tetris games at the same time. Some games moving at different speeds, depending on what's happening at the time on each. I'd focus my priority on the fastest moving games, without discarding the other (slower) games, since accumulation is non-stop.

...and yes, in my spare time (at times), I play multiple tetris games, but since I haven't found one that runs multiple games, I have to run many different windows--so I don't do it very often.

Anybody know of a Tetris game that allows you to add multiple games at the same time? That'd be awesome!
If you think the idea that people will stop valuing things they can get for free and refuse to pay for them is far fetched, I encourage you to see how your hometown newspaper is doing.
Just to clear things up, do you agree or disagree with my previous statement that “ people are treated differently by society as a whole, based on their race”? Further that white people have historically been placed at the top of a hierarchy by society at large, above other groups?

If you agree with both of those statements, do you believe white peoples are still given a higher place in society? Do you believe that to no longer be the case?

I’ll limit this to the United States.
I think "boring" is what we should aim for when it comes to system fonts. This way, the typeface will get out of your way and you can really focus on content. Using fonts that have a special feeling works quite well if you want to get attention, so it's good for ads and okay for headings sometimes, but for body text it's better to use a boring font.
I might be off base here, but you would probably do best to not overthink this and let the compiler do its job. Attempting to pre-optimize if statements relative to a branch predictor (a very hardware-specific thing) is probably a massive fool's errand.

1. You're on an OLED

2. You use f.lux or cf.lumen and turn all of your blue light off! You should have an entirely red screen that will not hurt or impact your night vision.

This, by the way, is the one and only reason I root my phone (besides for ad blocking). I still cannot believe that proper night mode is NOT implemented by ANYONE. No, orange is not the same as TURNING THE PIXELS OFF!
I think if you print new rules then you hide them in the game box it's still a kind of cheating.
I've done this for several years now. I also value this approach for psychological reasons: whenever you do need to perform some sysadmin action, you invariably need to type the password for the admin account rather than your usual login or unlock password. This different password is enough to make me pause and think whether this administrative action is really worth doing.

I took 26 days leave last year (4 pre-Covid), and carried over a few extra. Even with Covid, there were opportunities to take trips locally, or just have a day out of the house with no obligations. I used a few days to work on hobbies when friends were working.

When it's use-it-or-lose it (or, in my case, use-it-or-be-forced-to-use-it-in-crap-weather-December), why work?
The lede buried here is that production of Librem 5 is discontinued until October. Purism has this nice racket going where they won't offer refunds until your order is up, but now people who put in money over a year ago still can't get a phone or their money back and the window of time before they can make this claim is now pushed all the way back until at least October.

It's hard to sympathize with Purism here. Supply chain has gotten quite messed up thanks to the pandemic, but there's little excuse to treat your customers this way. It goes beyond negligence and into contempt, if you ask me. The least they could do is put that at the front and center of their update, and offer folks who may want refunds to get out early.

The kicker is that if you order the $2000 variant (because who doesn't love paying more for a low-end phone than they do a couple months rent) their production is still at the same capacity.
The whole parable of Chesterton's fence hinges on that: reverse-engineer the weird thing to understand it, before attempting to alter it.
For those not familiar with the device, it is a camera mount for astrofotography that allows to compensate for Earth's rotation (to some degree). This allows longer exposure times without the photographed objects turning into streaks.

You're correct, even iOS is not good enough. If an app asks and it's not a messaging app, I usually uninstall it.

I'd compromise on "Install" vs. "Install with Notifications" as two options when buying/downloading an app. But having to do any of the developer's administrative bullshit when I'm trying to use the app is disrepecting my time.

Otherwise I don't want to see that shit until I go into a "Settings -> Notification" menu and explicitly enable it. And never in a web browser.
There may be other culturally appropriate explanations. Strange lights in the sky were reported as dragons in Northern England a 1000 years ago, for example.
Maybe what I should have said was something along the lines of an "iterative language." Essentially I was thinking of a language where you can reload the functions/types in a single module and see the results instantly without restarting. The shortening of the feedback loop is the important part. And also important is being able to take some code and put it in a REPL to find out what it does or modify it until it's just right.

One language which is explicitly designed to have first-class hotloading support and static types is Mun. It's not production ready, but it was born out of frustration over the dynamically typed nature of Lua while appreciating the benefits it brought to extensibility and rapid prototyping.

https://mun-lang.org/

For me Lua has the iterative part, but no types. The iterative part makes LÖVE an attractive target for gamejam developers, who don't want to be constrained by compile-restart cycles when they don't yet understand what every aspect of the finished game will look like.
I think you didn't get the bigger picture. Its not for streaming a movie is for everything on the web.
Why would you pay 50 for Netflix if you can just consume content wherever you want for 50 bucks instead. They can still offer you a flat rate if they want. The option to pay what you use doesn't take the option to pay upfront or whatever away.
There is no doubt they will lure you into using the same service somehow but that's kind irrelevant. The goal is to have the choice and that you can pay/support the small fishes too. The one you would never make a subscription for.
Same with donation. You probably dont have Wikipedia or hacker news subscription. But leaving a few cents for free content ever month would probably be a good idea to keep it free.

Its not "all you can eat" is "you can eat where you want" you never missed that because it was always like that you never needed a subscription for certain food or restaurant chains.
You just go and eat wherever you want and they all expect you to pay what you ordered or whatever deal they offer. This system makes it far more likely you go eat somewhere new and far more likely that you eat spaghetti where you like it the most and pizza somewhere ease.
Web content should work the same.

I think what's interesting about this is the tendency for it to give you the same piece over and over again. That is, until you've tricked it enough that the same piece will clear a line, then it will give you the next piece over and over.

As it relates to real Tetris, it's usually the case that the same piece given multiple times in a row does in fact cause the most problems (at least for me).

What is the algorithm in normal Tetris for delivering pieces? Is it completely random, or is there a bit of "frustration" added to the piece distribution?

It is curious that super wealthy RW interests - with a planet full of internet hosting companies at their disposal - can't seem to pull together something as straightforward as a blogging platform.

I believe the reason is that few-to-no super wealthy RW interests are lining up to fund a Gab-like echo chamber.

As far as hosts go, if A-H say "We'd prefer you not amplify misinformation here", that's business. No whingy snowflakes here. We'll go to I-Z (and the 500 Dr.Suess letters that come after) until we find one that does.

This is certainly doable. Far more harmful stuff is hosted every day.
Agreed. When I was young, victimhood was mostly scorned. "Don't be a crybaby." "Shake it off." "Toughen up." "Words can't hurt you." These were the messages I got from parents and teachers when I was feeling sorry for myself.
If you care about performance and the number of if's you should look into profile guided optimization. This can help the compiler to arrange the code such that branches like the "if (debug)" in the example, are never taken and so don't occupy precious resources. This will also make instruction fetch faster and if the body of the if is placed on another cache line it can also improve instruction cache performance (and even TLB performance and IO performance if the unused code is placed into another page).

> So victimhood is a learned behavior after a certain age.

As a brown guy with kids in the school system, that's why recent trends in education alarm me. I don't want my kids to be taught that there's this amorphous but pervasive "systemic racism" and "white supremacy" out to get people who look like them, but which they can't do anything about. It's dangerous experimentation with kids' psychology.

Growing up as one of the few brown kids in what was (back then) solidly Republican Virginia, I learned we should treat everyone like we'd want to be treated ourselves. I don't think it would have helped my personal or professional success--not to mention my mental health--to be socialized to look out for these dark and foreboding forces around every corner. That's irrespective of whether it's true or not. If our white neighbors hated having Bangladeshis move in next door, they never let on, and frankly I think I'm better off not having dwelt on what was in their deepest thoughts.

Cough...Patreon.
Setting aside the environmental responsibility offset that Noora is planning to embark on, I still don't see why this is a viable strategy for an NGO raising funds for on ground impact. Noora operates in a country with strict financial regulation for foreign donations, but still allows funding to come in full (no tax for the NGO). In this case, assuming that the purchase is getting "cashed" out outside India, wouldn't there be quite a bit lost in fees and taxes?

Another thought that comes to mind is strategy in holding crypto assets by a non-profit - if an asset appreciates, is it profiting and subject to taxes when converted to fiat? If so, is it better to convert immediately, or take the risk in holding crypto for a chance at improving the value of the donation? If you're holding (closest equivalent I can think of for nonprofits in Inida is generating returns on an FD made on the corpus), is the donation really doing anything?
Not so many if any of them were working at any of the many companies and institutions that would detected such a thing and had measurements to support it.

A 100 years ago if a few thousand people all swore they saw a flying saucer over Stonehenge it would be rather convincing. Nowadays, such a sighting is impossible to witnesses without the object also being caught on any number of detectors around the globe, so if they don’t support the eyewitnesses I’m inclined to believe the sensors.
Walter, please don't say these things. I get what you're trying to communicate but there is such thing as a victim. You can be doing everything right and still have harm brought to you and your loved ones by circumstances beyond your control. People who lost their families in 9/11 or Hurricane Katrina didn't end up that way because they didn't have a plan or weren't busy.
No, that's not what I'm saying at all. I'm saying that maybe, dire things could have happened, and the only thing that prevented them from happening is the massive amount of attention that was given to the possibility of dire things happening. It is not "fake news" to talk about the practices that would have been allowed under these policies. The public outcry may have had a deterrent effect.
The act is fully intentional. When you pick up a gun, aim it at someone, put your finger on the trigger, and pull, your intent is to kill. That's like one of the first things they tell you in any gun safety course.

That intent may have been an overreaction. It may have been a mistake. It may have been based on an incorrect understanding of the situation. It may have even been justified. But regardless, the trooper did intend to kill.
Eh, sort of. It's memory bus runs at 1.024 MHz, and operations take 4 CPU cycle multiples to execute. It's really more like a 1.024Mhz processor with the internals running QDR.
One is reminded of the Isner–Mahut match at the 2010 Wimbledon Championships, where the scoreboard was limited to 47 games, and it went far over, and an IBM engineer had to work all night to fix it.

47 was over double the previous record, so everyone thought it was extremely low risk, and not worth worrying about. But it did happen.

Over ten years on and no other match has come close.

it took me many many years to finally see that the loudest victims i have dealt with were (and are) actually the worst abusers.

Very good write-up. Really good. Thanks OP.
I don't think you could expect people to start paying by page for the "content" on the web as it is now after 25 years of evolution under an ad funded model.

People pay for an internet connection, and e.g. will pay more to get a faster connection or higher quota. There is value, its just not in the casual attention model that the ad driven internet has developed. Even the term "browser" implies how we interact with most content, and to me doesn't evoke "I'll pay by the page"

A partial parallel is radio. Would you pay for local FM radio without ads? Unlikely, but some might pay for satellite radio because of the bundled content and national accessibility. And even more would pay for spotify. These are not just the old radio with ads swapped for direct cash, they provide something better. Paid internet will have to be the same.

It’s truly hard to overstate what a ridiculous position you have staked out here with this argument.

You’ve picked some arbitrary definition of what it means to be a victim based on god only knows what philosophy or life experience and then tried to state it as some kind of objective fact or enlightened wisdom.

>I can't quite understand why you believe that merely increasing the pool of applicants is a bad idea

That's not the argument. The argument is barrier of entry is lowered to allow these individuals a chance. It's the same argument with the U.S. military and they have in fact lowered their standards to allow women into roles they couldn't get into before.

Now, if they don't change the barrier of entry and keep the same standards for disabled individuals I guess your take makes sense. However, if that's the case then you're going to have to admit it IS virtue signaling since they'd actually be changing nothing. You've put yourself in a catch-22.
