So many tools save metadata in the files. This is really common. Is it what you want? Maybe not, but it happens a lot.

A few years ago, there was somebody scraping the web for headshots, and an amazing number of them where photoshop crops that still had the full original image embedded in them, and a number of them were nudes. He posted the more 'interesting' ones. It was part of an article about the dangers of file metadata.

I wish I had the link right now, but it was years ago.
I noticed the monthly "Who is hiring" threads have a bunch of tools available for conveniently searching them. But the "Who wants to be hired" threads have NO tools!

This kinda makes sense - a bunch of underemployed, highly skilled devs are looking through job postings. So they make tools to make it easier, and then share those tools. But the "Who wants to be hired" threads are mostly searched through by recruiters who may not program at all, or might be busy with their current employment stuff.

So here is a tool to search candidates.

Sorry if the code sucks (actually I know for a fact that it does! The word 'if' is being used to minimize here), I'm a security engineer mainly, not a SWE. But if you file an issue I'll respond promptly and fix any bugs. Also, feel free to contribute directly via a PR!

Microlink.io: Browser as API
That’s one theoretical way to make money, except not only do few companies do this now, but few devs would accept that.

There are other ways to support developers thru honest tooling (eg IntelliJ).
> which became abandonware

I always understood abandonware to be commercial software that no longer is supported by the company who created it. I have a feeling open source can't be abandonware, as support was never guaranteed in the first place. Maybe a nicer way to put it is that Om was "completed" :)
When do you have to use git rather than magit?
To me the concept of numbers is inherent in the dualistic minds we all have. If there is "me" and "other", there is 1 and 1, together making 2... a grouping of similar "others" is 3, and so on. It's simply just our nature.
I wanted to first address the question of being overridden. When you enter into any sort of relationship - dating, marriage, inhabiting a city, living in a country - you are agreeing to compromises to grease the wheels of society. Some people are always going to lose sometime - ideally those aren't always the same people and nobody loses an excessively burdensome amount but... If you live in a city of three million you probably fervently disagree with a few hundred thousand of the other residents on some issues you consider particularly important.

On the topic of actions considered immoral (or I'll start with illegal) when done by an individual - war actually only fits into this category in some countries, in a lot of areas murder in self-defense is legal and if 100 ninjas tried to murder you and it was clearly a case of self defense where all other actions were barred your actions might be legal in the US - they would probably be universally recognized as moral by everyone except the most staunch utilitarians which I assume would respond: "Dude - take the trolley in the face, duh - even if they started it it's 100 vs 1 lives lost".

That all said, war is frequently not a case of self-defense and is often abused for silly things like resource acquisition and prestige. Better representation allows us to severely punish governments that either look like they're going to go against the societal will or remove them after the fact - buuut there will be times when a country goes into unpopular wars justly due to either domestic misinformation or classification of information creating a different breadth of knowledge between law makers and the populace - with the former seeming more likely and the latter being pretty repulsive. And the freedom to act in response to aggression is one we need to keep separated from the slow response time of something like a pure democracy. This was actually the case in Athens where Strategos were free to act during their term (assuming an agreement between the then Strategoi) and were only subject to removal during regularly scheduled sessions.

I am strongly against war myself but I would be pretty happy with the US entering and occupying posts in civilian areas on both sides of the israeli/palestinian border to dissuade both parties from continuing attacks - I'm similarly okay with cypric occupation since that situation seems similarly unresolvable. War is pretty complicated but I don't think it's all that distinct from other issues a nation needs to deal with, poor representation leads to actions that go against the public will.
It's a shame you're being downvoted, because you're exactly correct. I heard a lot of rhetoric around it being impossible that it was a lab leak. I thought it pretty unlikely, but claiming that it was impossible is just as misinformative as claiming it 100% was a lab leak.
What's Facebook's angle for discouraging the view that Covid may have originated from a lab? E.g, what do they gain from this perspective? Sidenote: because it was being suppressed, I genuinely believed it was fringe theory. I didn't weigh the merits, that is, I considered the filter to just be the truth (because it seemed genuinely reasonable to conclude it was fringe, just because there is so much misinformation out there). My internal metric is: "Does this seem tin foil hat-y?" And I concluded "yes", and moved on. It was a concerning introspection of how I personally evaluate news.

> which means all the owners are not known - previous landowner died or emigrated and it waits for their descendants to claim it. It isn't possible to build anything on these lots

In the U.S. there is no central registrar, deeds are recorded at local level, and owners are regularly found by collecting property tax. Back tax is tracked independently of ownership so if true owner fails to pay tax within a few years there is lien or foreclosure.

I'm guessing in Slovakia they might only tax sales or income of property rather than passive enclosure? If back taxes are levied on parcel the owners should immediately make themselves known.

Whether you signed up for it is they key distinction. Suppose you had signed up for sex with your boss, but then he also also asks you to do the laundry - which wasn't part of the deal. That's bad.

Vice versa may be worse, but either is bad. We wouldn't consider it fair just because it doesn't involve sex. In either situation, the power balance is the same. Your boss doesn't get more power just because he asks for sex instead of laundry.

Sounds great, thanks! That is certainly reassuring to hear. I'm very happy to see Julia evolving.

EDIT: also, sorry for the mis-characterization of Julia developers! I may have dealt until now with users and "fanboys" not real devs.
Who said we don't belong to the weaker things? Us dying off would just be the proof that we belonged to the weaker things, if weaker things means by definition things that don't survive.

Also I don't believe that we have the power to annihilate every living thing on the planet, no matter how many nukes you throw on it. If we die off, then those who survive us will have been proven to be the stronger things.
This is true, too.

Especially where people willfully get arrested to wipe down Hindi marks from metro stations [0] and people who have fasted to death to not have Hindi as the national language [1].

I like this offering by Stripe but it won't attract any Shopify customers except the tiniest ones who are basically one product shops. Even then you want lots of features that Stripe Payment Links simply doesn't offer.

Now, if Stripe could offer their own hosted ecom solution... Hey, Stripe, get on this, it makes all the sense.
Learn a programming language that changes the way you think.

Here are a few to consider:

Clojure - combines many profound ideas into an elegant whole that is well-designed and fun to use.

Rust - combines the speed and power of C++ with a more functional design and clever compile-time checks, giving a powerful language that is a joy to use. Rust is to programming languages what Vim is to text editing. It will take you some effort to learn and practice to master, but once you internalize it, you will never look back.
I agree.

But it cannot mature without a long period immature. It is the nature of reality.
Same, and I literally have a correspondence game going on in another tab
Note: In the shots that he posted, he 'blurred' the faces and identifying tattoos. He wasn't trying to dox people, just trying to alert people to be careful about what you post and share.
This seems related to Evolutionarily Stable Strategy [1]. Where certain behaviors stabilize other behavioral niches and prevent other behaviors from arising in a population until an shifting equilibrium between behaviors is reached.

The ads almost always take less time than finding the end of the sponsor segment would take me.

(Plus they can be skipped if you have an adblocker. The only time I see YouTube ads is on my Roku in bed.)
The answers are definitely mostly from redditors and guys from here (many of whom are also redditors)
If you don't let it go, then you'll end up like me - a burnt out, no future midlevel dev that doesn't see the point. Why try if I never make progress and get consistently screwed over? It's just the way life is.
I found it depressing actually. Social connections are a large part of life. So as an introvert who has a hard time finding those connections being told I should be happy is actually wrong: sure I can be okay, but social connections are something missing. Together people really are larger than the sum of their parts.
How is a relevant to a claim about Western civilization?
....that would be a trick!
Let me also give an insight why keybindings are UNBOUND :)

Each person has different criteria of what is important,
Some people like code actions, some think it is the goto definition command, but almost all keybinding in LSP are UNBOUND. The main reason is to not cause conflicts with default keybindings.

Here is an example for code actions. Most editors use `ctrl+.` to trigger code actions,
but `ctrl+.` is a default ST keybinding used to go to the next modification in the code.

A lot of people consider it bad if a plugin overrides default keybindings,
so LSP lets the user decide what keybinding to assign to LSP commands.

Hope the explanation helps.
I think we should stop asserting that what we perceive to be the right view is the right one for all. I am quite sure the local people there are not wishing for someone from outside to come and save them. This comment sounds a bit tone deaf.
Somewhat off topic: I thought perhaps you meant cool URIs but it turns out that's a different term.

Cool URIs are about permanence. Reworking your internal file-structure should not break existing URIs. [0]

Clean URLs are about avoiding leaking implementation details into the URL, e.g. .php, and also avoiding excessive use of query strings. [1]

Now Britain is moving towards state capitalism, with "Great British Railways". This is in the tradition of British "lemon socialism" - have the government run the troubled industries. In the 1950s, the government owned the steel, coal, and rail industries.

"How Asia Works", by Joe Studwell, is worth reading. How East Asia moved into the 21st century is detailed, country by country. There were two startup phases: 1) Fix agriculture so it doesn't take most of the workforce, 2) Get export industries going.
Countries which got those two right did well, and those which did not, didn't.
Getting it wrong often involved the military running businesses, usually for the benefit of generals. The "Asian tigers" are now past that. It's not as clear on what the next phase is.

China has formal five year plans. Currently, the 14th five year plan, 2021-2025, is in progress. Unlike the USSR's five year plans, China's plans from the Sixth Plan (1981-1985) forward have been generally successful. The current plan has, as usual, a number of components. One is to catch up in some specific areas - aircraft, advanced semiconductors. That's coming along well. Another is "dual circulation" - building up internal demand and not being so dependent on exports.

The US generally avoids the government actively running businesses, but it's not that rare in other countries.

If Urbit were only a bad reinvention of whatever it's a bad reinvention of I would be totally unconcerned. The world is full of bad reinventions of all kinds of things. I've built a few myself. But Curtis is more than just a bad reinventor of things. He is also Mencius Moldbug, a prolific pseudo-intellectual influencer of the alt-right. His politics worry me much more than his coding style. And because of my personal dealings with him, I am not sanguine about his ability or that of his followers to separate the two.
Hey pc! Is there a way to tie a digital delivery to the payment? Let's say you're selling an e-Book or an audio file or the latest collectable nonfungible (jk). Is there a way to have Stripe send a digital file or product upon successful payment completion without requiring a website backend to do that?
On the contrary, nearly all of the most impactful conversations you've ever had have have been in small groups or one on one.
Oh boi, this article is so horrible to read. So many grammar mistakes, it's hard to unsee them.

Is this an autotranslated article? What is a lakh or crore as a unit?
Let me get this straight: climate change models predict conditions likely to lead to the collapse of civilization and you say "the map is not the territory, no need to be alarmed", but your extrapolation of our cloning capability should totally be respected?
They also tend to do deals for subscriptions to Nebula, which is a site run by a bunch of YT "creators" which streams their YouTube stuff plus sooner extra content. It seems like a pretty good way to consume their content without touching Google.
No argument here, but I don't think the Modi government constitutes a competing platform.
This is a bad take.

In special because the way rust do things now is THE optimal way to work:

Rust is GROWING.

In this step (let's call it the adolescent) is NOT THE TIME to stop for the needs of C, C++, Debian, or anything else that is glacially slow to change, generate BILLONS of losses in this industry, and is arcane as hell...

In fact, I wish it not be that conservative moving forward.

But where is genius all of this? Is that despite the forward momentum it NOT fell "broken by design" at all. Is one of the few tools in my +20 years on the trade that I can update with confidence and that actually NOT DEMAND to change all my code as often as it look like.

So this is the real experience with Rust: All stuff is very carefully considered as much as possible, not major big mistakes, cargo si GOOD!, and because that, update is painless, and still: You don't need to refactor code in each update, you get benefits without major costs (more performance! better internals!), and still can profit for the work of everyone in the community.

P.D: Rust is certainly made with CI-oriented deployment as the preferred way to work. If wanna move forward glacially, I don't see how is that impossible. In fact I bet you can stop updating, wait 2-3 years, do a big refactoring and move along. This is how ACTUALLY was in the past with tools like C# and others, and I pretty sure Rust will make that thing much easier to shallow...
emacs in various forms definitely predates CL; but I suspect around the time CL was ratified (84?) any discussions about a re implementation would have focused on the size of CL implementations being unacceptable for inclusion in an editor...
They face a hostile media and political complex, as well as several thousand aggressively activist employees, that all demand that right-wing information be suppressed.

If Facebook doesn't do what those groups demand, they will be smeared in the media, suffer internal strife, and face punitive antitrust probes.

And of course, many tech executive are true believers in left-wing politics and like that they can use their positions to advance those ideas.
Can I ask why? Or what company?
It feels like the devs are completely clueless about open source, command line, and modern shell features.

There's so many great projects for bash and zsh add-ons like fzf.
Nice, but you have a typo waaaay down in there... you call Front End "Fronted" (probably an auto-correct error)
Right, screw discussion or examination of contradicting evidence. Your side is unquestioningly right, double down and ram your policies down everyone else's throats, regardless of the potential downsides.

This is a recipe for authoritarian tyranny. Imagine if the shoe was on the other foot. This kind of closed mindedness is far more dangerous than any likely impending climate change.
Last time I landed at SFO, in Feb around 8pm, it was consistently $100 to $120 to go from SFO to SOMA. I waited for 10-15 minutes then got a "bargain" price of $50 to go from SFO to SOMA in a clunky older car. The driver actually said he was in the airport parking lot waiting for over 20 minutes to get matched.
Someone burned a Banksy print and converted it into an NFT. It's certainly possible. In the US, there are moral rights of an artist that would probably make the destruction of work illegal, but that might only apply to living artists.
I miss going to my local Radio Shack and getting components. When they went under I could really only get components online. Sure, there is a commercial supplier near me but they are only open 9-5ish M-F and don't have a website. It would be great if they were able to digitize their inventory and ship orders. I wonder why some commercial focused companies make it so hard for non-commercial customers to access their business (I'm including companies that have websites but make it clear they only sell to contractors)?
Your false distinction is worthy of the State Department. Jen Psaki would be proud.
> They are not harming anybody other than some people's sense of moral superiority.

They hurt the young girls ability to recognize passionate mutual affection driven by the human instinct of finding the fitting mate.

They deprive the strong sense of self driven attractions between human beings, and replace it with much more rational yet unspeakably gross attractions to material possession, which itself was a modern invention out of ludicrous idea that someone are just more entitled to privileges than others, even if everyone was created equally, both physical and mentally.

They hurt everyone by setting the example of even your sexual activity, the most intimate and passionate human activity, in both physical and mental sense, is perfectly ok to commercialization.

No, this is not only wrong, it's anti human!
Are you aware that Curtis Yarvin is also Mencius Moldbug?
I just tested this in Firefox and it works on the highlight which is inconsistent with how it works elsewhere. Usually it selects the word under the cursor not the selection. Perhaps Firefox is doing something to change the default behaviour?
Are you talking about an actual issue you faced or are you complaining about something that might have happened hypothetically? Was there some dependency of your code that changed its minimum supported rust version (MSRV) to 1.51?

What puzzles me is whether this affects people at all. Let’s say a developer depends on crate foo, version 0.6, MSRV 1.39. Their Cargo.lock file specifies that they depend on version 0.6. Their code will now compile correctly and continue to do so between now and the heat death of the universe.

Of course it’s possible that they want to keep manually upgrading their version of foo to the latest and greatest. They have the option of doing so. But here’s what puzzles me - they seem to be very conservative with upgrading their compiler but carefree about upgrading dependencies. Why not stay on the foo version that was working well? Who is this hypothetical developer who is desperate to upgrade their dep and equally desperate not to run a single command to upgrade their compiler?

More broadly, I find it surprising that package managers have no trouble keeping up with the release cycles of Firefox and Chromium (6 week releases) but can’t keep up with Rust.
I mean what do you call long term. There are a lot of democratic socialist countries that don't even seem to be eeking towards totalitarianism. If anything, the EU is going the other way.
Mostly helping others fix their mistakes on their machine.

We are not capable of annihilating life on this planet.

If we detonated all nuclear arsenals the planet would barely notice.

Chicxulub impact event had yield comparable to 100 million megatons of TNT.

Assuming we have 10 000 nuclear warheads each with yield of 100 megatons of TNT it would be still ~100 less than Chicxulub impact event.

Also, we already did destroy most of megafauna, but the whole life is just a different ballpark.

We would need to change Earth into Venus end even then it may not be enough.

BTW - It is also true that all pain and misery on this planet is the result of evolution.
I worked at two, in two countries. Experience not worth reliving
We used this link model in Brazil (custom made) for a client that has a B2B2C platform where vendors (shop owners for a specific industry) use the client's platform as an endless aisle option. We had a challenge for the payment side because:

- the payment needed to be to our client and not the vendor (to avoid double taxation);

- integrating to the POS machines of more than 100K vendors was unfeasible;

- The client wouldn't trust typing credit card info into the vendors computer/tablet/mobile.

So the solution was to use a link that could be send (whatsapp, sms) or read (QR Code), that would take the client to a checkout and payment secure site to finish the transaction.

With mobile wallets penetration increasing we can make more sophisticated solutions where the link would connect directly to the wallet. But for now we are working with link>payment.
I'm in the US and have similar despair. I'll never earn "good money" by the standards on this site.
If you really have a problem with that, use an alternative like Peertube, Odysee (https://odysee.com/), DTube (https://d.tube) or BitChute (https://www.bitchute.com).

https://sepiasearch.org can search most of peertube

https://tilvids.com/ is a great peertube instance for education stuff
Hype. Yep.

Some times something comes along that lives up to the hype.

I think Rust does that. It has taken thirty plus years of experience system programming and used it to create a masterpiece. A real triumph of design by committee.
The School of the Americas is pretty disgusting too.
