Let them condemn us, they will likely be absolutely right. Not condemning actions of now or of the past, because we don't want to also be judged for our actions/inaction is basically averting your eyes to try to escape your own responsibility.

You would probably fit in as "feckless cog" within consumerist capitalist machine, a machine that rarely really care about human rights. Relying on the individual consumer to police giant national/multi-national corporations is an unfair and unrealistic burden. Conditioning consumers to believe that iPhones, cheap electronics and cheap clothing require exploitative practices is another shady tactic to maintain an inequitable/unfair wealth/class structure. The $1200 smartphone is built next to the $200 smartphone, the $50 shirt is sewn next to the $5 shirt, chip manufacturing is highly automated, and if cutthroat pricing wasn't "required" and there was teeth behind anti-exploitative regulations, companies might care about auditing their supply chains.
Note to those reading the article: it does not state that you shouldn't focus on "high-value, low-effort" levers where minimum force gets you maximum results - it does state that using the Pareto Principle as an excuse for not applying force to high-value areas that are not in the top 20% is a bad idea.

We might be getting a little stuck on the word 'victim'. My main point is that people speaking up about being hurt can be a way for them to find resolution around it. Sometimes other people don't like them speaking up, but personally I wouldn't think of it as my place to judge.

>But who benefits by continuing to define those people by the things that they were a victim of?

I think ideally it's up to the person themselves to decide when they no longer need that definition.
Javascript is just the new utility knife that all devs have in their pocket now mostly because you don't need to master it to build something with it, but also because it's acceptable to write improper JS code.

PHP used to be the utility knife for a while for the same reasons. It was easy to learn, and run it. And it was ok to write bad PHP code. I remember most of the exploits and remote shells were written with PHP because it was the easiest language for hackers to learn.
Open source protocol running on Ethereum allows earning interest on deposit
I think this speaks to the power of defaults. 96% of users have not turned this on because they didn't even know that its disabled, and when an app asks you if they can track you, the response is going to be a strong no. The reality is that FB's entire business model has been predicated on the default being that tracking is allowed.

If this holds, this will be cataclysmic for FB. You can't have a huge portion of your wealthy user base just disappear and expect advertisers to keep paying what they were paying previously.

BTW, this is also why the covid exposure notification apps failed miserably. They should have always been opt-out.
kitty has lower latency than Alacritty. Alacritty is optimized for throughput and is the best for that, but I don't understand who would prefer throughput over latency in a terminal setting.

I switched from kitty to wezterm. I don't have an official benchmark like the below [1], but low latency is an explicit goal of the project and it seems on par with kitty.

My personal opinion is that Nier Automata shines in its artistic design. Character design, combat animation, enemy design, soundtrack, UI (and the fact that it's a meta-UI that also exists within the game), level art design, the camera work and the way forced perspective is used across the game, the choice to use bullet hell mechanics, the way the story is presented (I'd argue that the game hasn't to be "played three times", since the actual story is different even if the first two acts cover the same events), and finally, ending E and the fact that the game breaks the 4th wall and presents the player with the same choice that the main characters go through (arguably the strongest philosophical aspect in the game).

It is also a game where all these art considerations take precedence over pure gameplay, and that's what makes it unique.
The problem with you choosing old.reddit.com, is that it doesn’t fix the general culture of the site where everyone else is using the new interface. Everyone else is asking the same questions again and again because the subreddit’s sidebar (which might have a FAQ and general rules) is hidden in the new interface. Everyone else is engaging in inane one-line comments and meme posts because the new interface does not encourage substantial, nuanced discussion.
I switched to termite when I rethought my setup to minimize my usage of the mouse. I don't think I would have changed for cosmetic features or benchmark reasons.
Crime rates have soared ? Pre-pandemic NYC had some of historically low crime rates. And it is one of the safest cities in the world

https://www1.nyc.gov/site/nypd/news/p0106a/overall-crime-new...

And all this without having to stop and search some rando black or brown dude walking down the road. This categorically proves that stop and frisk had no impact on crime rates at all. Los Angeles also experienced similarly historically low crime rates and had no stop and frisk. I can’t imagine how someone can live in a liberal democracy and be ok with authoritarian behavior like stop and search.

I prefer to split tasks into two types.

Marathons. So if I'm not over-tired and I've had my morning coffee, and a good night's sleep, I will do a marathon session of 4-5 hours of solid work, no interruptions apart from social media feeds where I need to know what's going on in the world so I have context for what I'm working on. (If Github's down for example, I need to know that).

Sprints. These are smaller tasks that take 5-10 minutes, but I treat them as micro-habits that compound over time, or in other words; many-littles-make-a-lot and the desired outcome reveals itself over longer periods of time.

It's good to know which mode you're in, because with ADHD, you need to pre-allocate time-frames to the important things and know when you're in sprint-mode vs marathon-mode. Some people mix them up and end up doing 4-5 hours on something that should be a 5-10 min sprint, and needs to be incrementally improved on over a long duration (we're talking months or years of progress here).
This is exactly why I’m sticking with X as long as possible. CSD makes absolutely no sense to me: under no conceivable circumstances do I want the window decorations to depend on which toolkit someone chose to use: it works out ok on macOS, I guess, but Windows/Linux each have their own issues with apps not having a consistent look and feel, and this just exacerbates that.
I thought this setting was per app. Is it 4% across all apps?
The only thing unusually expensive about houses in SF and London is the ground it's sitting on.

Even a house that's going to fall over in a year would be worth 75% as much as one that would last 1000 years.
The funny thing to me, if you think about it, is that nothing really changed, it's just become more transparent.

It's for decades, if not arguably always been a bunch of bullshit marketing for meaningless labels slapped on imported knock offs of questionable quality that you just hope they sample enough of for QA to keep the factory from slipping turds and razor blades into some of the boxes.

> things pushing niche workflows that the Gnome team didn't consider

On the other hand Gnome3 is the first Linux desktop that I think is really non power user friendly. The laptop my partner uses at home is a slightly old Thinkpad I put Fedora on last year and it took her about 20 minutes to work out to use everything (less time than she took on a Mac).

I think the Gnome developers have been pretty hostile to outside input and could have done a better job. But the fact that they've had a clear direction and haven't implemented everybody's personal preference has resulted in a coherent result without unnecessary cruft.
In my opinion 80/20 is the initial signpost. It's a filter to create some focus and reduce overwhelm.

Starting a new project, feature, hobby, whatever?

Figure out the 20% that gives you 80%. This is your primary focus. Then iterate and tweak, for the other of ~50%.

Aiming for 100% is counter-productive unless you work in an environment that 100% is required. So yeah, if you are working on a heart pacemaker, 99% is not good enough.
I think the media successfully conflated four separate questions:

a) Did it form in nature or in a lab?

b) Did it become more communicable via nature or via the lab?

c) Did it make it to humans through nature (or wet market) or via the lab?

d) If it came from the lab was it on purpose or an accident?

as simply "OMG IT CAME FROM A LAB" and then claimed it's all a conspiracy theory.

The media as a whole shot themselves in the foot on this one and we'll all be worse off for it.
I'm totally blind and use a screen reader. Was surprised to see this on HN as I normally see this sort of thing just in accessibility spaces on Twitter or similar! Hopefully more mainstream coverage will mean that accessibility gets on the radar of more developers.
Sometimes I click Allow intentionally

I'm not advocating this for anyone, but yeah some apps don't take money or donations, ads are how they make money, so I shoot my tiny pistol at the tank that is sustainable app development and enable *targeted ads.

Again, not saying you should, not saying you're bad if you don't. It's just I've been that guy with a free app who thought ads were the only way celebrating a 10 dollar ad revenue check, so sometimes for smaller apps I might opt in. It's silly but at the end of the day I'm getting tracked on all my other devices anyways so...

-

One day we need people to retrain their concept of value. Google's revenue per user is like 10 dollars a quarter.

40 dollars a year could replace their ad revenue stream with simple subscriptions.

But people will not pay for email.

People will not pay for world class maps.

People will not pay for search engines

Hell people won't pay 99 cents for an app with thousands of hours of development, but they will pay 99 cents for extra cheese.

The way I see it is people pay with data because they won't pay otherwise. I don't know any developers who are thrilled about integrating crappy advertising SDKs that tend to crash, slow down startup times, and leave you at the mercy of a second business unit for your livelihood. They'd all much rather take your money directly. But people will take an ad laden half assed app over a tracking free one for a dollar any day.
I think you've done a very good job of doing something which a developer will grog.

I think you've done a very poor job with doing something which a court will grog the same way.

I think that's where the astronomical potential liability comes in with respect to using your product.

A lot of 2.1.a versus 2.1.b will hinge on details of how a court will read ambiguous language like "not primarily database storage or operations products". I assume you wanted to say "not primarily database storage or database operations products." However, it could just as easily read "not primarily operations or database storage products." At that point, "operations" has broadly different meanings (e.g. business operations?).

And aside from that, if I'm making a medical database product, is that primarily "database storage?" Probably.

The problem with ambiguous legal language is that:

1) You, or a vulture successor, can plausibly sue anyone who does just about anything.

2) If we assume you vulture successor has a 20% chance of winning $20 million, the outcomes is a $4 million settlement.

Which is why good lawyers avoid it. The whole document is just bad legal language.

But even if it was GOOD legal language, it wouldn't matter. The difference between a custom-form license and a standard OSI license is that competent customers need to spend a few grand on legal fees before they use yours.

I understand what you're trying to do, but every other organization that went that way eventually went with a standard license. You'd be better off doing likewise. Or if you really can't, you're better off working to make a community-recognized standard form license which is used by enough products that it has a standard, common, recognized legal understanding.

I know the risks of the AGPL, and where it will or won't hurt me. I don't know the risks of your license, except that they're obviously huge.
Pushing overpriced useless junk to emotionally vulnerable people? No. There is a necessary service of digging a hole and putting a corpse in a box into it, but the whole business of $10k coffins and embalming and such is both unnecessary and quite unique to the US.
Yes, I wasn't claiming that no big endian systems exist. Just that they are overwhelmingly in the minority now, and so the number of ASM byte swapping ops happening is mildy amusing.
All of what you said are true. But when you add gun to the mix it makes matters far worse. Gangs in the UK typically resort to stabbing, which leads to far fewer deaths
Spot-testing ReviewMeta just now, I see it accepts this, from #2 of the Amazon top 10,000, as valid:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/R17NDQEUZQESUX/re...
Yeah, Amazon reviews are pretty broken.

Not sure if this helps much, but I try to avoid buying from marketplace sellers. This is partly to avoid my personal data being shared with yet another company (it's been misused by marketplace sellers in the past) but also in the theory (hope!) that Amazon themselves will on average buy better products. After all, they have their reputation to maintain and have to deal with all the refunds if they sell shoddy goods.

Increasingly though, I'd rather just shop from a retailer that specialises in a particular type of product and has invested in their reputation.
It must be tiring to jump at shadows of racism all the time. He mentioned it because that's what he was. You can't get any more generic of a description then someone's gender and race.
But weren't they doing that exact thing in the Wuhan laboratory -- making coronaviruses infect humanized cells(with the ACE2 receptor)?

Wouldn't the fact that it started in Wuhan point the razor in the direction of lab-escape theory?
> Where do you draw the line between animals and plants?

Exactly there: between animals and plants.
Because the problem was not brought to our attention by scientists working in the Wuhan lab, it was brought to our attention by a doctor in a hospital there who noticed the problem. A doctor the CCCP tried to gag and who subsequently died.

So these experts didn't notice/detect a virus right under their noses, or they knew about its existence but could not tell anyone because of fear of the CCCP

>If you read my comment

>Perhaps you need to read slower

The above are the things I took as insulting &/or likely to provoke a more inflammatory conversation. I think there are better ways to ask someone to reconsider what you wrote, ways that are less likely to escalate a confrontational tone.

As for Pence, he wasn't a random target. The only reason he was a target was because he had a constitutionally required role to play in the transfer of power. This was a role that the President Trump and some of his supporters wanted him to use to prevent the transfer of power to Biden, but Pence himself had made clear he would not do that.

If killed or kidnapped & therefore unable to perform that role, the next steps to a constitutional crisis were very much on the table:

1) The constitution would require the President to select a new VP.

2) That person then has to be confirmed by a majority of both houses of congress.

3) Given President Trump's urging of VP Pence to use his position to block transfer of power, he would likely appoint someone who would do exactly that.

4) The House would never confirm such a person. Regardless of Senate approval (which would also be unlikely) the confirmation would be blocked, the VP role left empty.

5) The constitutionally mandated terms of the transfer of power could not be met. Biden could not become president.

What would happen from there? I have no idea. Maybe some peaceful resolution. Maybe, with the success of taking the VP out of the picture, many more of President Trump's supporters would feel emboldened to act in some way.

Since VP Pence got away from the situation shortly before the mob arrived.
I headbutted a PM once, after a meeting it was just me and him in a room and he got right into my face over some comment I had made (presumably about how poorly everything was going) and he pushed me back against the wall with both hands, quite a lot of force abd looked like he was gonna swing, so I broke his nose and walked out.

10 minutes later get a call from the agency saying my services are no longer required, get off the tube and get a call if I’m free for and interview and the next day started a new job ;)

It’s sometimes the right thing to tell a bully to fuck off, and if you’re being threatened physically to use proportional force in self defense, I did end up hurting someone and I don’t feel at all bad for it as it goes.

Audio person here. I found the post fascinating, but I wish they did more to explain what they were talking about to a layperson.

Basically, all sounds that you hear are composed of many layered sine waves of different frequencies and intensities. The graphs in the post are spectrograms, which graph those frequencies over time. The Y axis represents pitch, the X axis represents time, and the brightness at any given point represents how loud that particular frequency was at that particular time.

Most sounds, even seemingly simple ones, look very complex on a sonogram, like a smudged pen stroke. The images of different instruments below demonstrate this; these are all very complex sounds, even though we only hear it as a single note being played. The voice one is one of my favorites, because it shows just how weird and complicated everyday sounds can get.

But bird songs are different; on a sonogram, they appear as a single line. The complexity of the bird songs here comes from the fact that they're taking a single sine wave and changing the pitch over time. Where most sounds look like a complex mix of smudged paint strokes, bird songs look like a single, precise, bouncing stroke.

If you are interested to work on this patch, it wouldn't hurt to ask the maintainer for clarification.

>as evidenced by tilix showing interest in this patch set.

That's two of them, there are other terminals that use VTE.

>I think that the termite developer explained very clearly why the approach suggested by the VTE maintainer wouldn't actually solve the problem they were having

I don't think so, the termite developer is making that assumption before the new patch was even completed. Additional options could be added with the suggested approach.
These days I DDG/google the product name I'm interested in and look for no-name forums on page 2/3 where people post at least a picture or two and an honest review.

> Rufus sucks for this purpose. It uses a weird partition scheme and custom bootloader that doesn't work with secure boot.

Rufus also tends to format the drive strangely for *nix ISO files also. Last time I used it the write operation failed and I was stuck spending more time than necessary repairing the drive's partitions just to make it visible to my machine again. What compounds this is the documentation which can only be described as condescending and hostile.

If memory serves, there's a section in the documentation's FAQ where the author spends a paragraph first telling you that it's good your having problems with your USB drive since it will teach you a lesson. I can never understand why some documentation writers feel the need to take digs at their users. Very odd.
The game reaches "an end", but explicitely tells you to keep playing by starting a "new game" again. It's more like separate acts. The first two acts cover the same events, but the story is different because it's experienced through a different character each time.
Side note, but, depending upon where you live your warranty status should have no impact on whether you can safely take your device apart (unless you are unable to properly reassemble it, of course).

The whole "Warranty void if sticker removed" on a sticker over a screw or "Warranty void if panel removed" ... all of those things are scare tactics, and, in fact, not even legal in many places.
That seems a false dichotomy to me. As if you have to choose between either radical accountability or absolute dictatorship. Understanding what brings people to do bad things can actually prevent them from happening to a certain degree, simply saying "drugs are bad, m'kay" only condemns the deed and the person.

The problem with this way of looking at people is that it assumes we're fully rational beings. This is what neo-liberalism and Christianity share with each other, they assume full free will, the sin belongs to the sinner alone.

I get angry just like any other person when someone breaks into my car or my home and I believe they should be punished. But if problems become structural, structural solutions are necessary.
