NFTs are trash. I get a feeling that a lot of people are falling for the same clonecoin scam we saw the early days of Bitcoin. You are a complete sucker if you buy into this. I say this as a deep Bitcoiner who believes that all value on the planet will eventually be measured in BTC. I've seen a thousand chains launched and fail, taking everyones stored value with them.

Digital things like coins are not valuable because its on a blockchain. They are not valuable because custody can be traced. Anyone can publish NFTs, and anyone can publish EVM tokens. There is no scarcity, there is no legal binding, there is only grift and scams.

Bitcoin derives its value from the difficulty in producing new coins, and the fixed emission. Are we at peak stupid?

One thing that "old Intel" used to do a lot was trying to find use cases for more performance. This used to be a strong fear internally, that at some point silicon would get "good enough" and you wouldn't need to buy better silicon.

Gelsinger was very much part of that a decade or two ago, but I guess he's getting more rational and accepted that yes, to run Office pretty much anything will do. At the same time, the need for more silicon, even for basic tasks will remain strong as silicon just ages out (in part thanks to software, see Windows 11 requirements).

So not completely surprising to see Realsense and other similar niche initiatives get cut in that context.

Also, most of them were also kept alive by the previous CEO who pushed for the "maker" / IoT thing as the "next big(ish) thing". So part of that is also a classical CEO succession story.
Awesome, now let's see the U.S. pass a similar law please.

Judging by https://web.archive.org/web/20141114222647/http://www.cs.cmu... this is 2014 or earlier. I put 2009 above because of the dates in the link at the bottom. From the way the text is written, I'd guess it's quite a bit older than that. If anyone comes up with a more accurate year, we can change it again!
The key is the virtualization. I think (!) with `brew install docker` you've got to set up a VM and get Docker running inside it, yourself. Docker Desktop for Mac does that, and implements filesystem and networking integration for you.

Most people like the convenience of that, if not the performance or (now) the cost.
D'oh, the misspelling of "Ony" is really distracting. Certainly makes the point though. :V

Sorry, the cryptomania is no independent proof.

It really took off once that big finance started to invest, keeping the bubble bubbeling up with astronomic inflation rates. This was possible because enough people had been speculating with $$$ as the only goal, ie. involving big finance whethwr they wanted it or not.

Hmmm I wonder if this would open more side channel attacks to extract information about the user without even going through a permissions dialog.
Key point to avoid any confusion: This is about the RSA-SHA1 cipher combination. It does not mean that RSA is deprecated.

If you use an RSA key for SSH (server or client) you can continue using that.

This should not affect any modern-day SSH implementation, it will only cut off compatibility with SSH implementations not updated for a very long time.
Ah got it you're saying that so call "architecture astronauts" are not publishing, like serious computer scientists are (?)
> If people give that advice, ignore it. No matter what, you're going to get some unhelpful advice. Comes with the territory.

Answers like that are very common, meaning that you commonly get unhelpful advice. But worse, those people get angry when you don't accept their advice. The Linux Desktop community has a serious problem with letting these kinds of people continue to represent them.

> Similarly, just include your distro in any searches.

Doesn't work very well for a few reasons. For one, Google sucks at actually delivering results that you asked for even with Verbatim. Second, a lot of times no one has had that problem on your distro specifically, or hasn't reported it, or hasn't received any help even if they did.
I was wrong, I'm not using fuse, but instead the kernel cephfs implementation.

That article considers vfs_ceph to be legacy, and instead recommends to use the regular mount, but then does recommend to install samba-ceph and gives a configuration that does not mention ceph at all.

What does the samba-ceph package do if you're not mentioning ceph in the configuration, does samba detect the filesystem is mounted through ceph act accordingly?

I guess I should just try both approaches and see which one performs best.
I'm talking 3-5 on average.
A) I was responding to the implication that Linux+Systemd is the combination used in 'basically every commercial production system', which discounted the entire world of a) BSD and b) not-systemd. That wasn't a cron-specific comment on my part.

B) I do control my (professional environment) firewall. OpenBSD+PF is an amazing firewall combo, and the other common firewall, pfsense, uses FreeBSD. Neither use Linux; neither use systemd.

Zero snark in my comment.
It's simple: Linux offers me nothing over the OS that ships with my PC or Mac.

Installing another OS takes a small amount of effort, so Linux needs to at least provide enough value-add for me to bother. It does not.
> Using a label to dismiss all messaging of an actor (abstract), as it suits an agenda, is the defining characteristic of "cancel culture".

Only if the label by itself causes sufficient harm to silence, exile or otherwise ruin someone, eg. "white supremacist".

I'd say cancel culture is any widespread or coordinated attempt to silence, exile, or ruin someone for non-overtly harmful speech or behaviour. Sometimes that's attempted by applying a label, but not always.

I think we can all agree that someone who engages in harmful actions should be silenced, exiled or ruined, although the legal system is supposed to adjudicate that (accounting for proportionality, remorse, recompense, etc.).

The disturbing part of cancel culture is that this is now being extended to speech and thoughts, and there's no check on the mob's power.

You can export 3D models to HTML using Solvespace:
https://solvespace.com/index.pl

These are fully self-contained in a single file along with 3js and can be added to web pages as shown here:
http://m-labs.hk/software/solvespace/

You can zoom and rotate the models on that page.

That's been a feature since whitequark was the maintainer and worked for m-labs. And with the latest development branch you can link STL files too, so it can effectively be used convert STL to HTML.
It is also the kind of thing an artist who makes physical art would do.
> > Our average viewer is 65 years old and watches TV while doing the dishes, we must not show things that cannot be understood by them

I haven't watched german TV in ages, but I distinctly remember science shows degrading from science to thinly veiled ads - things like literally running a companies marketing video or making a "scientific comparison" where they hand out random style points at the end to make a specific product win. I think they even got into trouble over it since ads and science/education shows are taxed differently. Anyone pretending that they are doing that for their viewers is living in denial at best, but probably just outright lying.

It's also quite possible that if they had just set it at 10% from the beginning across the board, there would simply be more sales than there are now with 30%. I know a lot of apps make users foot the bill for the extra 30%, with different pricing if you buy not through apple. This just translates to lost sales. The market is the market.
Yup, and it's easy to make server and client side tooling use Tor to make this mostly transparent. Latency/bandwidth isn't _that_ bad when communicating with an onion service. And it can be even faster if server anonymity isn't a goal (server set HiddenServiceSingleHopMode and HiddenServiceNonAnonymousMode and create ephemerial onion service with NonAnonymous).

I use Tor plenty to self-host services from my house that are reachable anywhere (and often have a web interface I can access via Orbot). No hole-punching necessary.
There are real drawbacks to remote only in terms of culture and employee committment. Those who can afford it will probably keep being hybrid I think. Those who want to cut costs will outsource. But since software companies are swimming in money I am not sure its a huge priority.

I have never heard of cast aluminum, thank you for the tip (as well as the rest of this post)!
Sure, if you think that'll help. Or what you must do for your own sanity. I get it. I have friends who are in very tough spots who have had to make hard choices. I can't and won't judge any one else's life choices. We're all a little bit confused, exhausted, anxious, and maybe even a bit insane. And just trying to do the best we can. Even my crazy uncle who forwards me emails about liberals like me destroying real America.

Honestly, the 2016 presidential broke me. Then around 2018 I decided my relationships were more important than being right. For instance, it was our turn to do eldercare (and other family emergencies), so I had to cooperate with my family. Because that's what's best for our mom. I definitely iced out the more toxic individuals (eg "Obama's a Muslim!") who just wanted to fight.

Ask me again in 10 years, after our mom's passed, if I made the right choice.
If the endpoint is in your control and you'd like to experiment with Tor, you can configure your server as an Onion Service, so you are protected by Tor's own end-to-end encryption (whose traffic cannot be captured by MITM since the hostnames themselves are the public keys). For non-anonymous uses, you should active the "Single Service Onion" mode, so the 6-hop (extra 3-hop for server anonymity) is skipped, allowing standard 3-hop latency and performance. It also saves bandwidth for exit nodes - all non-exit relays can forward Onion traffic.

Does the general public even know what NFT's are? Much less someone with £244k to drop on one?

I feel like this is some bizarro world where this is all code for money laundering or something that I'm not privy to.
Several reasons really. No matter how stupid it sounds, but one of them - there's no normal e-mail client.
>(I realize I also sound patronizing and I’m sorry: I typed this on a phone, so left out some caveats, such as I don’t know you and your background.)

Yet your comment is extremely dismissive of young people’s experiences. I personally had to fight for what I considered to be trivial design decisions, because a senior dev was pushing programming techniques based on his experience with Lisp in the literal 80s.

Now I love lisp (although I prefer to work in Haskell), but I had to rewrite this old fart’s shitty and slow java application in a vaguely object-oriented way, so that we would have a hope in hell to attract new devs.

And when we actually employed new devs, I had to simplify my code even further to help onboarding, thankfully I had exercised most of the idiotic code at that point, so we built a simplified codebase that was accessible to anyone who had a vague understanding of an MVC-style web app. (Today that would probably be some kind of basic React/Vue app.)
I can't help but think all those $100k+ NTFs purchases are either money laundering or dumb money spent on dumb things.
What are your motivations for leaving and plans for what you will do with the time you free up? Is your goal to go "all in" on your business or find another job?
Back in the nineties I heard that, although the SNES had more capabilities in the way of color and 3D, "hard core" devs like David Perry could get better raw performance out of the 68000-based Sega Genesis for similar reasons.
The fact that these two things are different is the problem with corporate America. The morally correct thing is always the better thing for shareholders in the long-run, but corporations don't see it that way.
A kitchen table? That's way more fancy than I bother with. I do most of my programming work from a couch or a hammock. It's a feature, not a bug. I have a workstation with a fancy dock, keyboard and trackpad, but I never really feel like using it. I will, however, close every unnecessary popup that comes my way.
I suspect it's because of telemetry - someone figured out this particular entry is not used often enough and doesn't deserve a 1st level entry. I just hope they don't do the same with F2.
I've seen many commenters positioning Windows 11 as a "bad" windows in the good, bad, good, bad... alternating theory of windows versions. We'll see if that perception is widespread, but Microsoft may be back with a Windows 12 that fixes some of the issues before too long.
It's actually not a fantasy. AmigaOS 3.2 was released this year as a commercial product, and Apollo make enough money to employ Gunnar full time and some part time folks too. Giving a niche community exactly the things they want will never be unicorn territory but it can produce liveable income.

There is also the open source stuff: for example Apollo have abandoned CoffinOS due to licensing issues and are now developing ApolloOS, which is a fork of AROS, which is an open source reimplementation of AmigaOS. Free Software ideas aren't as prevalent as I'd like in the Amiga community but they are there (plenty of GNU software was ported to Amiga via ixemul.library so they've always been there).
Sure, if you put a layer on top, you can do whatever you want! It just adds more centralization, which isn't better than something like a Venmo that would be based on fiat.

Subpoena the list from google - en.bitcoin.it/wiki/x A known Satoshi Nakamoto Post from 2002 the posters signed in again in 2018 in front of the supporters. His minions are ill informed & offer a wild story filled with misfacts. Others point out factual data that they continue to deny.

https://twitter.com/TeamSatoshi/status/1432429656217726977/p... for the actual posting 20 years later.

Ads have bloated the useful internet to the point that it is more expensive and less functional. We have 8,000 websites trying to show me a recipe for chicken parm, most of them with pages of family history and backstory, because they are all trying to get me to see their ads. A lightweight Wikipedia for recipes and a few high value added websites charging a trivial amount for access to their recipe catalog would be highly value added for me, and run on a fraction of the infrastructure.

Ads obscure solutions, and add redundancy and complexity with zero value added, because solving a problem means you no longer are on the page seeing ads. Simplifying or automating a process means you are clicking less pages less often and not seeing ads. If you automate something to directly connect users with what they need, then they don’t need to come back and see your ads. So we have automations they bring us to some middle man that can show us some ads before we can get to what we need.

Ads mean that maximizing the time your attention is held is the core value. High quality content that leaves you informed/satisfied/fulfilled is worthless compared to low quality content that is just good enough to keep you from leaving, without being having enough substance to actual fulfill you, because then you might leave and not see the ads we have to show you.

Podcasts show us that a tiny minority of users able to pay for content subsidize an incredible amount of added value content for everyone, whether they can pay or not.

Ads don’t level the playing field. Ads are an ever growing tumor, sapping resources and weighing everything down in a mindless effort to replicate.
My Linux machine nagged me to do a system-wide update (usually a language pack for Firefox, because they changed one word) every day. Windows 10 is a lot smarter about when to nag about updates.
Yes going all in on my business. I think I can grow it a few orders of magnitude. I didn't want to jump before it was covering most of my expenses, so now I'm reassessing.
An acceptable profit margin would be based on actual costs, not a static 30% which means paid apps are subsidizing free apps or apps like Netflix and Amazon that do not take payment on iOS. Charge based on bandwidth/downloads, not on who is using their payment processor.

> Twitter was not an overnight success. The first few years it was ridiculed as a big "completely useless" failure by journalists: the same people which now cannot live without it.

My opinion:

In fact Twitter is still amazingly useless and is a prime example of a product succeeding despite its flaws instead of because something.

And no, I'm not this negative towards everything simple. Snapchat for example has a point, I can see the point of it even if I use it even less than Twitter.

Twitter succeed because Google botched Google+ after first using all the oxygen in the market together with Facebook.
Users definitely want to have third party app stores. One of the most obvious use cases for a smartphone imo, running a GBA emulator, isn't even possible in Apple's ecosystem because of the stringent app store regulations. How crazy is it that my $1200 phone can't play pokemon red but a $80 linux handheld (or any android device if you know what you're doing) can. Simply pathetic. 9-year-old 90s me is laughing at these pathetic devices of the future.

Side note if Nintendo had played their cards right they could have made the entire library of GBA games available in a Nintendo smart phone app, like 10 years ago...

I think that is what they were trying to do with Windows 11 (especially given how much it resembles what they demoed of "10X" and that was 10X's plan to be a slimmer 10).

Unfortunately for them, most of my biggest complaints about Windows 11 are the places where they most broke backward compatibility and dropped "cruft" that I loved. The biggest example is that the inability to move the taskbar to a different side alone is a stupid removal that I'm sure removed a lot of ancient backwards compatibility cruft in the taskbar code, but that's something I've used on every machine under my control since Windows XP and its loss really doesn't make sense to me.
