Yeah, I dropped dom.ipc.processCount by half a while ago, but I think Fission[1] overrides that setting.

No ad blocking is going to get rid of that though, until you run something analyzing the actual video/audio content and not just the source of streams or how they're loaded.
Oh I absolutely agree. I think cryptos will be top heavy from a market perspective, where the top cryptos will have something like >80% of the total marketcap by the end of the decade.
Have you heard of gpm[1] - general purpose mouse? Slackware offers to install and enable it by default, even these days.

It's a terminal based mouse server. ncurses supports it so it's theoretically possible to do all the same things in a TUI that you would in a GUI with a mouse.

excellent list, thanks for sharing this.
Counting .lproj files tells you nothing. I technically have a keyboard layout for my country (although it supports no autocomplete or swipe). No translated UI, no dictation, no Siri, no nothing. But I'm sure that keyboard layout gets me an .lproj file.
In one instance we have society’s collective desire to reduce waste by allowing people access to fix their goods. In another, you want government to tell a vendor what product they have to sell because you personally don’t like their product selections. Furthermore the thing you want them to support is horrible for the environment. That’s apples and pine trees.

And completely off topic.
>That's not a sign of being poor, it's a sign of not being an ass.

Seriously, why wouldn't you talk to the janitor or anyone else? They're the reason you have a clean place to work. I never got the "nothing in common" routine either. They're people, with lives and families and wants and needs. Yeah, they're not spending their day banging their heads against their desks solving reference counting bugs, but they're working to support their lives as best they can.
Yeah and when you pay for a cinema ticket you still have to see the actors drinking conveniently angled cans of coke
My initial comment[1] was supposed to point out that it's not limited to rentals, contrary to what OP says. The rest of the thread is talking about your rights when you purchased something.

In the end its the same problem. A human has to verify.

As far as I can tell from other stories, it wasn’t the app, it was one of their users or personnel of the company making the app.

This isn’t some deep learning model that takes in news sources and generates stories, is it?

Phrasing it the way this article does makes it look as if there isn’t any human to blame for this.

Interestingly, at the bottom of freenode's website [0] is a link to a non-comercial CC license [1]. So not sure how anyone could "sell" freenode. At the top of the site is a link (not given in this post) to a commercial product, so again, not sure how they can do that given the CC license.
That said, I am no legal expert.

Well, if this comment is not a textbook example of FUD, I don't know what is.
Can we apply "disability" to all abilities, like being hungover and therefore temporarily sensitive to light and sound, or should it apply to specific ones, like being injured and therefore temporarily sensitive to light and sound?
You're not winning anything with casting Skype on TV, except messing with another remote for audio controls (which is in no way immersive or often not even high quality).

And yes OF COURSE I predicate buying on it actually delivering to the extent people describe it in the marketing video, it's ridiculous I have spell it out.
Seeing such number (and knowing nil about particle physics), I imagine someone cataloging the fallen leaves in autumn using low-res pictures. They are the same kind of leaf, but from different angles it looks like there's several kinds.

It helped me anyways - my tendency is to believe in chaos and treat it as the norm or default state, meaning anything I feel or try to do is simply a blip in white noise data, not amounting to much. Listening to some of his writings refocused me on the human aspect which is that we have a species goal, and typically when we contribute to that, it resonates in our individual minds to create meaning.
"Can we not?" is a pretty modern colloquialism. Is it better or worse than learnings?
Yes but that require buying cards. Sometimes I want to do it to make friends, but that would require a decent time and money investment. And while I saw few girls playing it at the university, I think it’s mostly kids playing, so it would be a bit weird too (in addition to being a visible foreigner).
There may be (at least officially) no double entendre intended, but of course you're far from the only one to have heard it.
The technical meaning of disability is broader than the legal meaning. The legal meaning is broader than most people would define it.

Using a wrist mounted touch screen is hard if you can't use the other hand. It doesn't matter if it's because the other hand is missing, in a cast, or just holding something. So people in relevant fields talk about permanent, temporary, and situational disabilities.

You don't have to like or use the term. But arguing with people who do won't be productive.
How do you talk? I see people making speech bubbles.
That is pretty much the accusation against tether. Most exchanges use it, so rather than the exchanges being knowingly undercapitalized, they are by virtue of using tether. Which is supposed to be 1=1 backed with the $. Which it isnt, and it is not clear how backed it actually is.
>Yeah, pretty much.

I generally say hi to everyone as well, especially if I've made eye contact. At the very least, some kind of acknowledgement.
I worked at a hospital about 10 years ago, and at that time only IE was available on our PC. PC workstation was locked down for security reason and users were not allowed to install 3rd party software without approval (including chrome, etc). Also Chrome's browser extensions were security concerns (esp for medical records, HIPPA regulations, etc)
It was also a time when IE was used in enterprise for mostly legacy web app that was written long ago. We were also using command line apps (TUI-based) at that time, mostly for nurse and doctors, but we were migrating to the fancy web apps.

As for Korea, IE was mostly for ActiveX, but now most Korean website supports modern browsers ie Chrome.
Google could certainly detect when sponsored ads start in YouTube content and skip them to honor their "no ads" agreement with YouTube Premium customers.

That, or they could pay content creators fairly so that they don't have to shill for NordVPN in every video they release.
Developers in crypto know about the oracle problem better than anyone. It's not some sort of revelation. The oracle problem has been discussed ad nauseum within the community since at least 2011/2012.
And it's portable. I take mine camping in the National Forests in Oregon, far away from any sort of cell signal (or data for that matter). I love how fast it is to set up and automatically positions itself to get a signal lock (as opposed to having to manually point it at the right spot like most other satellite tv/internet dishes). I've done a few 4k youtube livestreams with it. Something that would be impossible otherwise without a tv satellite truck.
I hope someone finds a way to use its interface with a better rendering engine, which I think is the best part of IE - no infantile HUGE buttons, patronising error messages, or other dumbed-down things, just a serious UI with good ideas like per-zone trust security settings and user stylesheets built-in. It also doesn't have gobs of phone-home "telemetry".

(Firefox is a close second but is clearly starting to become user-hostile too... and now you may realise much of why they want to kill IE and dumb down Firefox: herding users is easier when they're turned into obedient and docile consumers, instead of masters over how they decide to consume your content.)
I mean, there's a real investment in prep that most people seem to agree is necessary, so it's expensive to test.
Is it that confusing that units of code are subject to change, hence subject to regressions, hence their tests are used to prevent regression?

1. Unit testing is a kind of functional testing. On a unit.

2. And regression testing is rerunning your existing functional tests after, say, refactoring, to see if they pass.

Complex? Confusing? Which part of this precisely is confusing?
And yet that was the last time the was an election (at least for the top officials)
It is great, super interesting, very clever technology. Which is exactly why it is nerd-sniping: the CS of it is so interesting, it must be innovative and useful! Alas, nope not really. I was so excited about Bitcoin back when the whitepaper first came out - a totally new idea! based on ideas from cryptography! amazing! this will replace all digital payments and reshape the world! Alas, nope. Then Ethereum came along - smart contracts! so cool! just imagine the new legal infrastructure this will unlock! Alas, nope again.

I still hold out a hope (perhaps a fantasy) that all the talent and money funneling into all this, combined with the fundamentally interest and novel technology behind it, will come up with something truly innovative. It just seems like it must, right? But every new thing (most recently this NFT stuff) that comes out just further and further confirms my long-held tentative conclusion that there really isn't much there, there.
> A polarizing figure with polarized reviews.

I came here to say the same! I’ve been thinking about this recently. It began after hearing the Weinstein brothers talk about Taleb[1]. My hunch is that a significant part of Taleb’s popularity stems from how dogmatically polarizing his views are. I’m not sure if he’s doing so authentically (I think he is), or: if he’s dogmatic in his opinions primarily because he knows doing so will result in wider distribution of his views.

I struggle with this dilemma.

On one hand, there’s a case for being strong-willed, dogmatic and polarizing. It takes courage.

On the other hand, there’s a case for being open-minded, flexible in your thinking, and uncertain. Yet, this is generally perceived as weak-willed and doesn’t attract nearly the same attention as the polarizing stance.

No. they pretty much only use it to talk to each other. Until their clients start randomly complaining about encryption keys and they no longer can.
The CPU is not an issue, it’s the SSDs. Chia mining (or more precisely the creation of plots to farm Chia) is a write-heavy process that will literally wear out SSDs. See https://github.com/Chia-Network/chia-blockchain/wiki/SSD-End...

It might be worth noting that Hetzner is known to use consumer hardware for some of their lower tier offerings and consumer SSDs usually have a relatively low TBW (Terabyte written) rating.
> This is why I'm glad that a lot of Linux software is moving towards distro agnostic containerized applications

To me, it entirely depends on the specific packaging job, not even who is doing it. Entirely too often, they ignore distro convention, and can introduce bugs and other security issues through ignorance, laziness or mistake.

Long term, flatpack and its ilk will devalue distro differences and put pressure on uniformity. Whether or not you consider this is a good thing may depend on your opinion of/relationship to RedHat/IBM.

For me, if it isn't in the Debian repos, I'm probably going to ignore it.
> In that case getting hacked means people can steal your house... This is unacceptable and will never happen in reality.

We already have institutions which entrust billions in assets based on the ability to keep private keys safe. Coinbase, BlockFi, Celsius, Next, Grayscale, etc. all are trusted by millions to hold crypto assets in custody. In many cases insurers are even willing to write policies against the risk of hacks. Existing DeFi protocols have tens of billions locked inside their smart contracts.

I'm not saying that everyone will be comfortable with the risk. But clearly some non-trivial fraction of insitutional investors are already comfortable enough with crypto security technology and custodial services to trust it with "real money"
Great book, would recommend. Not surr how often it has been useful for me still it is a very pleasant read. The main idea is to not give in so easily and to find mutual wins, e.g. he gives the example that he could help the other party get an article in a magazine - barely related to the deal, cost nothing for him, but was worth a lot to the other party.
I got the opposite feeling from The Black Swan.
Taleb finished the book by pointing out that life on earth is a black swan and very precious. That was meaningful to me.
As far as I understand, Apple laptops still mostly (all?) use Broadcom chipsets for Bluetooth, instead of Apple's own W1 chipset that includes the enhanced connectivity features.

I'm not sure why, instant handoff between a laptop and a phone seems like such a natural workflow for anyone who does a mix of phone calls and videoconferencing.
> I understand that. But when I rent a server, I want to be able to use the hardware. That is, if I want to roast the CPU or write to the disks 24/7, I should be able to do that, because I rented the full server.

If you have a single server and you're maxing out the CPU and drive: this probably isn't that much of an issue; most people don't and having the occasional user who does is okay.

An entire community of people doing this en-masse: well, that's a bit more problematic.
I'm not really following you. in this scenario, the source of the truth, is the repo, not necessarily the repo on GitHub. GitHub is just hosting the repo. in your attack situation, since it's trivial to see it was changed, you would just push over the verifiably correct repo and switch hosting providers.
I didn't expect it to be actually air powered. I did expect it to have two vertical surfaces with keys on either side of a central structure, possibly flexed in and out slightly as a modifier key.

Why not compare it to a car you scrounged for free? I mean, I'm not just arguing with you to win points. I was you.

By the way. there are other problems with your math: you're double-booking the cost of the payment and the depreciation of the car. Really, play around with a total cost of ownership calculator like Edmunds'. It will be enlightening.

Let's look at the F-150, the most popular vehicle in America. For the regular cab XL 4WD trim level, a 2020 model is $38K (close to your $40k) with a five-year TCO of
about $44K. A 2015 model is $24K... with a five-year TCO of $41K. That's a difference in TCO of $50/month. Hey, if you can save $50/month, do it, but don't tell me you're saving thousands every year.
I get the difference between different blockchains, but what I can't see is what value I get when I buy an NFT. As I see it I only get the brag rights of "owning" something on some blockchain and the posibility of reselling that right.

But I may be missing something
Just wanted to follow up on this and mention that we've just rolled out our localization features. Ditto now handles variants (including languages, user segment-based text, and more). I wrote about it here: https://www.dittowords.com/blog/introducing-variants-for-loc...

It's been in development/QA for a while, and we were super excited to see all the feedback and questions about localization during our launch.

Frankly we're flattered that our launch has gotten the attention of localization tools (hi localazy + lokalise, thanks for joining us on HN!). Always appreciate others working on solutions for product text in all of its stages.
Because "the IRS" (not sure which jurisdiction you're in, but here in the US, it's actually the local and state government) is an entity controlled by elections that is obligated to spend its budget in ways decided on by elections, and therefore can reasonably exist forever. The royalties are not for the benefit of the IRS. A state or local government is sort of like an offline DAO, if you're familiar with DAOs. A producer does not live forever, and the producer's heirs get to spend things as they see fit.

Also, in many cases, the local government does not get a royalty on every sale - certain sales, such as to non-profits, do not get taxed.
>Even with the coaching industry trying to lure parents into sending kids to them since Kindergarten, year after year it turns out that the students who do best in the JEE have only had two years of dedicated preparation. Because that is all the time that is needed for a talented student to prepare for the material that is being tested.

Do we have any figures (anecdotal or otherwise) of how many students in the top rankings have had coaching?

I am of the opinion that the JEE (and every other competitive exam: AIIMS, etc) should be much much harder, and designed with a specific eye to defeat coaching. I'd go so far as to draw an analogy with crypto algorithms designed to be ASIC - resistant.
> None of that really makes clear what Andrew Lee is actually doing that is so objectionable.

I second this sentiment. Can anyone summarize objectional actions that Andrew has either taken or committed to taking in the future?

As far as I can tell, he found a way to purchase legal rights to Freenode. And, he's communicated this control in a way that pissed off existing mods.

But, as a Freenode user, what I really care about is how this will impact me as a user. If the only potential impact this will have on me as a user is a smaller user base, there's a clear solution: don't leave?
> That said, the algorithmic feed will use your follows to surface content.

If this means that feeds will be sorted/hidden based on a black box trained to sell me things, sorry but I won't call that rss.

Rss for me is an aggregator, a list where all and every item of multiple lists are placed together and sorted chronologically, optionally with tags to filter if needed. I choose the lists to aggregate, I decide which posts to read and which not, and if I don't like the content of a list, I'm the one to remove it. I have full control, not an algorithm.
> 1. I feel a 45% cut to YouTube is too big. Compare that to Patreon, which takes 5%. Granted YouTube offers a lot more for their cut, but the difference feels too big, especially given point 2 below.

You can't be serious with this comparison. Patreon's bandwidth, storage, and processing needs are a rounding error compared to youtube, even after adjusting for the number of users.
> You know what's more expensive than having to run infra to every home? Having to run it twice because your first choice didn't cut it.

Well, to be fair, the reason they chose DSL is so they wouldn't have to run infra to every house - POTS lines were already there.
this is super fun to play. I love the music, the interface, leveling etc. Perfect for mobile. Unfortunately the game crashed on me mid-dungeon level 2 after defeating a monsta :/

It's still very common in a lot of niche industries. Though apparently it's also still supported, since they just embed the entire Trident engine in Edge. So really this is just yet another way for Microsoft to try to force Edge on users?
I don't think it's too surprising - cards from this era are primarily collector items, so among equal rarity cards, the most "iconic" ones are the ones that demand the highest price. Charizard had a pre-existing (and continued) level of popularity that made it the obvious most desirable card, even if it's not particularly playable. MTG didn't have the existing IP, so the cards that became iconic are more based around their playability, rarity, and associated mythos. Not too many people are dropping $20,000+ for a lotus to play it in vintage, but the prices continue to rise because of increasing collectibility. For what it's worth, Ancestral Recall is arguably a stronger card of equal rarity, but it's worth substantially less on the basis of being less iconic (if only slightly).
I've been using firefox nightly on arch linux for 5 years, never had an issue (except some changes that broke my customization).
It is nice to see the long internet nightmare known as Internet Explorer come to a conclusion.

What is the next thing we should wish to see die on the internet?
Right but... we've been cropping images in web applications since... y'know, pretty much ever. Using ML to do this was always pretty ridiculous overkill. Give the users an image cropper, and be done with it.
It's impossible to not "over subscribe" in a strict sense unless you have dedicated bandwidth to and through every peering point of your ISP which most "DIA" service doesn't even have let alone consumer service.

It's not really a factor in this question though. The discussion with Frontier is they sold speeds that were impossible to reach, ever, not that the sold speeds you couldn't reach 100% of the time. Most ISPs do not do this, the vast majority will at least hit advertised speeds regularly even if they aren't guaranteed to at any instant.
Who do you think would NOT be a ‘predator’ in that situation exactly?

Sounds like she offered insight and a 2nd chance to someone she thought would benefit from it, and then helped them build on it in a way that stuck.

Should she have been offering more than they thought they were worth? Who would that benefit? It would likely just cause anxiety and imposter syndrome.

That’s avoiding the whole issue of someone who knows what they’re worth and is able to stand up and ask for it is worth more than someone who does not or will not. To everyone.

Douglasdale blocked drain cleaning with a free call-out fee is all you need. Just to ensure total satisfaction we also clean drains over the weekends and public holidays. Douglasdale is one of the most outstanding neighborhoods of Sandton. Always so nice neat and clean. Thus, we always strive to keep it that way by ensuring very few blocked drains and toilets in the area.
