GOG has been earning a lot of my praise recently for not only hosting binaries - but actually putting labour into making sure their games run on modern systems. This is particularly important for games from the era of weird sound cards that can't render audio quite right without a vintage soundblaster - but also goes for games that were simply designed with DOS expectations in place.

Back in the day I was a big fan of an SSI game called Imperialism - this game pretty much refuses to run on modern software - it needs DOSBox to run smoothly and even then it does custom cursor stuff that tends to screw up very obviously on modern systems - the GOG version of the game runs smooth like butter.

Why would I ever pirate a copy of Imperialism and spend a day actually getting it set up to run sorta decently on my machine - when I can grab it off GOG for 1.89 CAD? A day of my time, even an hour of my time (even my leisure time), runs well above 2$ at this point - the convenience is there so pirating becomes a bad value proposition.

I don't think there is discrimination immediately evident. I think there are legal implications in actively soliciting contract work from people who currently work at other companies under full time contracts that may preclude them from doing stuff like that (ex: FAANG).

Interesting to see that people dislike the mobile version so much! I only use the mobile version, it's so much more readable.

I literally wrote a script that does the exact opposite of what you suggest!

I have one script that runs on all pages and converts all Wikipedia links to the mobile version, while another that runs on Wikipedia only and automatically redirects to the mobile version if I somehow land on a non-mobile Wikipedia page. It also has a shortcut to switch between mobile and desktop, and takes the referrer into account so that once I've switched to the desktop version links aren't pointing to the mobile version again. It has a couple more features like a shortcut to edit the page, since I often contribute.

Even without the chip shortage, this was probably inevitable as long as TSMC doesn't have much competition.

The English word "guru" is derived from the Sanskrit word "guru" but their meanings couldn't be more different. In English it's used to mean someone who's really good at something, like a "digital marketing guru."
I have a gripe with every Macbook Pro I've owned, and I've owned 4 of them over the last 10 years.

They all lag when I type. I hit a key, and it takes a while before it shows up on screen. The effect is at its worst in Safari, but it shows up most everywhere else as well.

Sometimes, I'll type a few letters or even words before they start showing up. Doesn't matter if I wipe the machine and reinstall, and Apple has never been able to resolve it for any of their machines I've owned.

I do type faster than average, but I don't think it is humanly possible to type fast enough to make a proper computer lag. This has never been an issue on any of my concurrently owned Windows/Linux machines. Only on Mac, and on every single Mac.

That’s the most extreme repair run I’ve seen. Like some others have said, there could be something that’s damaging them.

I know exactly what damaged my battery so that now it recommends battery service: Overheating using An external monitor and chrome tabs. The thermal management at higher cpu of this 3 year old MacBook Pro is bad but browsers are needlessly resource intensive.

After about six months of ignoring how hot it was getting the battery notice started. A while later it would shut off at around 40% battery. But I still put off replacing the battery and magically after an OS update it no longer shuts off at 40%, and goes all the way down as it should. I assume the update included some throttling if the battery isn’t providing adequate current.

tldr: My Mac has battery issues and I know the exact cause. There string of defects you’ve had seem statistically unlikely as pure random ones while not impossible. There may be something causing them.

I wrote the ad. Holy cow, I didn't expect to be #1 on Hacker News. Will answer any questions.

Here's one you might ask: Why? I'm pushing 60 and I've attempted to interview for developer jobs over the last year. Got nowhere despite 40 years of experience. Getting really, really tired of this industry's attitude toward people like me.

Based on questions below, I'll give a bit more. Earlier this year I had a personal referral into Facebook for a developer position. They do hiring centrally. A very young person in the HR department spoke to me, put me in the central database, and apparently shopped my experience around to a number of different groups. No takers. No one wanted to interview me, so the application died. Never did a tech assessment.

So now I've started a new group, and I expect this thing is going to generate a lot more money than any work at Facebook ever would. So Facebook did me a favor. Still, it rankles.

Why do you think this is assured? If he were to marry and have children here in the US it would be with someone who holds views culturally proximate to his. I think this event is unlikely, but it's not impossible. Is your claim that US cultural propaganda is so powerful that children will ignore their upbringing? It seems like you're saying the children will appreciate the US relative to the experience of their parents in their home country. But if they have no experience of that home country then what are they comparing it to?

> As for internet access, with encryption, it's very hard if not impossible to discriminate on how people use the internet, so the state will have to either choose to ban people from using encryption, or live with crypto.

No. As long as "crypto" traffic is identifiable in any way, the state can ban it, encrypted or not. It's unnecessary for them to go through the trouble to decrypt it.

For instance:

1. VPN traffic can be fingerprinted, which is one of the methods the GFW uses to block them. I see no reason something similar can't be done for "crypto."

2. People need to get the software to participate in a "crypto" network. A state can target and taken down legitimate channels for getting that software, and backdoored versions can be distributed through replacement channels.

3. A state can setup nodes in a cypto network and then go after anyone in their jurisdiction who connects to them. Whatever "clever" trick you think you can do to avoid connecting to them (sort of only peering with people you personally know) can be easily defeated (e.g. "well I won't connect to any node in my home country" can be easily defeated by a state that rents VPS's in foreign countries).

We're running out of time to wait for the established political class to do something about this.

We need people power - shutting down coal plants by blockading entry of personnel and deliveries, and disabling equipment.

It took just 5 people to shut down this power plant in Germany: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2019/dec/04/no-regre...

Saving 26,000 tonnes of CO2.

There are about 300 coal power plants in Europe, so with just 1,500 people they could all be shut down at least temporarily. Meanwhile we get some 'climate marches' with hundreds of thousands of people in attendance.

There's in fact a U.S. Supreme Court case, Tinker v. Des Moines, about the limits.

The students were wearing black armbands to protest the Vietnam War; they prevailed:

> The court observed, "It can hardly be argued that either students or teachers shed their constitutional rights to freedom of speech or expression at the schoolhouse gate."

> The Court held that for school officials to justify censoring speech, they "must be able to show that [their] action was caused by something more than a mere desire to avoid the discomfort and unpleasantness that always accompany an unpopular viewpoint," that the conduct that would "materially and substantially interfere with the requirements of appropriate discipline in the operation of the school."

I think what the sibling to this comment has brought up is important to understand.

These groups are entirely trying to alter the definition of “sex trafficking.” Or rather, attempting to make the phrase so broad as to be meaningless.

Sex trafficking brings in images of humans being thrown into a container against their will, shipped overseas in darkness, and then maybe drugged up and pimped out in hidden shady backstreet houses.

These groups like Exodus Cry and NCOSE are attempting to conflate that above image with grown and often well educated people who are choosing to be their own bosses.

You can see this conflation all over their websites and in many of their press releases.

How much of an influence did they have in this and the pornhub debacle? I mean, i don’t know how we could accurately measure this. But it would appear their pressure campaigns are heavily funded, very active, and then during those campaigns many of their goals were met. So I guess it’s up to you to decide how much influence they really played.

My point is simply for us to notice this now.

Courts have determined that for this purpose the NCMEC is an agent of the government. NEMEC is 99% funded by the government and its ability to handle child porn is directly deprived from a explicit legislative carveout for them by name. What they do would be a felony for you or I to do. The fact that they are technically non-profit rather than an agency makes them significantly less accountable to the public. We cannot FOIA their communications, their composition isn't subject to public review, we cannot vote them out. And we have no way to tell what their database contains, nor is there any avenue for redress should we somehow learn of an inappropriate listing.

To the extent that you can say that they're not exactly a government agency, they absolutely have been deputized by the government.

I don't think that is true. Any agreement you have with google/faang is your agreement and your punishment. You cannot bind others into the agreement. They face no legal implications.
I doubt the person they are searching for is currently in a similar role. They want domain specific knowledge about a stable and _old_ codebase. They want the person around as a teacher mentor, and the first gig is something the business needs but would prefer to sub out. Seems like a normal accepted practice when defined that way.

Depending what you are making, different protocols can be good (Gemini may be good for some things, NNTP may be good for some things, IRC may be good for some things, etc).

Gemini file format also could be usable independently of the protocol, although I do not know of any implementations.

I think that sometimes you might want to use Gemini without TLS (it is good they have it, but I am not sure that requiring it is so good), so my proposal is to make the new URI scheme "insecure-gemini:" for this purpose. In this mode, client certificates won't work, so TLS will still be required if you want to use client certificates.

Also, unfortunately curl is not implementing Gemini protocol; adding that might help to increase its usage too, since then you can at least download files from it easily. However, I have seen discussions and some of them are valid concerns. For example, I think -k should not be the default; doing it different for different protocols doesn't seem like good to me. You can still specify -k yourself if you want to do. Also the patch does not implement redirects, even if -L is specified; it ought to be fixed to allow -L to work. Allowing longer URLs might also help.

Furthermore, a better web browser will need to be made, excluding half of the stuff and implementing the other half of the stuff differently, before adding some more.

OF is significantly different from other social media in that the adult market has a lot of really weird market factors that make even new market participants able to access significant revenue. Most OF people aren't making 10 million, but it's better to compare OF to patreon where most small users are still pulling in a few hundred dollars a month at least - and that's a pretty significant amount if you've graduated from school into a pandemic market.
A recruiter from a prominent SF / Silicon Valley tech headhunting firm once told me that 40 is the cutoff for individual contributors.

As a counterpoint, I know plenty of over-40 (and older!) wise software engineers working for places like Google. So maybe the discrimination is worse at someplace like Uber?

Personally, I value age diversity on a team, just as I value gender, ethnic, etc. diversity. The added perspectives benefit everyone!

In the Netherlands you're legally only allowed to use enough the minimum amount of violence necessary in self defense. You're obligated to flee if possible. So if a frail lady in a wheelchair comes at you with a knife, you can't stand your ground and kick her bony ass.
The text itself isn't lazy-loaded – I can load any Wikipedia article, go offline, and still successfully expand all sections. Images are lazy-loaded, though, and while this has some merits, for the offline use-case this is equally somewhat annoying.

Also yes about the scroll position – while at least occasionally (possibly within the same session, but not if you're closing and later re-opening the whole browser) it seems like Wikipedia tries remembering which sections were opens and which were collapsed, it happens too late in comparison to the browser attempting the restore your scroll position. So if you had scrolled farther than you can scroll in the completely unepxanded state of the stage, your scroll position will be lost.
Echochamber effect here I presume. Joe Rogan is doing just fine on Spotify. He can choose not to extend at the end of his contract, go back to YouTube and continue just where he left off.
I've had several Apple laptops, and mostly just normal wear issues:

- iBook - hard drive failure

- White plastic Macbooks - only issue is case cracking

- Late 2011? Macbook Pro - Dedicated GPU failure around the time macOS support ended, a widespread issue at the time

- Retina Macbook Pro - No issues

- M1 Macbook Air - No issues

Keyboard issues are really common with that generation of Mac Laptops, and the screen issue is something I've heard of.

All those issues together, though...that's a load of lemons.
Never accept such jobs unless you are desperate. Your employer does not control or own your spare time. Don’t cede control of it to them!
