> But the switch to electric mopeds has been a blessing

In terms of noise pollution, yes. But it has meant some less spatially aware delivery riders flying silently around corners on pavements which is an annoying problem.
I feel like web rings really resolved this issue.

You can’t actually choose your landing zone - it’s assigned by Wing. And I have spoken to them and they are pausing operation for a few days while their bird expert gives them advice, they told me.
One could make the same argument that a professional cleaning service is better than our own ability to make things shine. The question is not only economical, but the economy is a call back to reality. A growing portion of the population cant provide decent care to their children.
Indeed, the subs are a "downgrade" from nuclear to diesel.

I suspect the core of the issue is some kind of aux deal that comes with US-UK supplied nukes, possibly leading down the line to Australia handling nuclear weapons for one of those, or equivalent. E.g. maybe the nuclear bases will be made "compatible" with US or UK nuclear subs, which will then be stationed there, blah blah blah.

Otherwise I don't understand the haste in ditching the French, and in bad style, since France definitely produces nuclear subs - surely no worse than their already-accepted diesels.

Right now I'm using these kind of shitty shell scripts to download the videos, ls to list them, and mpv on the command line to play them. These use a file called "channels" which contains YouTube channel URLs and space-separated tags, like this:

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClaEdLrmti779-tyovta8zw grandpa amu hardware carpentry hacking
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLt9kIslIa1ffiM8A04KORw wm levsha hardware hacking

Here are the scripts, slightly cleaned up:

snarf:

#!/bin/sh
echo "snarf $@"
exec python3 ../youtube-dl -f '[height<769]' -i -r 1M -R 1 \
--sleep-interval "${wait-227}" --max-filesize "${max_filesize-242m}" \
--no-mtime --playlist-end ${n-5} --write-info-json --add-metadata \
--write-description --write-thumbnail --write-auto-sub \
--write-sub --sub-lang en,es "$@"

snarf-tags:

#!/bin/sh
exec ./snarf $(./tag "$@" | shuf | sed 's,$,/videos,')

search:

#!/bin/sh
exec ./snarf ytsearch10:"$(echo "$@" | sed 's, ,+,g')"

resnarf:

#!/bin/sh
: ${1?Usage: $0 foo.mp4.part}

# example: garbage\ stuff\ -zKLMCO0-How.mp4.part

for x in "$@"; do
x=$(echo "$x" | perl -ne 'm,(.{11})\.mp4,; print $1')
./snarf "https://youtu.be/$x"
done

tag:

#!/usr/bin/env python3
import sys

def match(args, line):
return (not any('-' + word in args for word in line)
and not any(word not in line for word in args if word[0] != '-'))

def main(args, input, output):
for line in input:
words = line.split()
if match(args, words):
output.write(words[0] + "\n")

if __name__ == '__main__':
main(sys.argv[1:], open('channels'), sys.stdout)

So my searchbar is "wait=3 ./search japanese hornets" or "./search electrochemical machining advances", and periodically I run "./snarf-tags" to download any new videos over the next few hours, which I can then see with "ls -lart ./*4". And if I want to know where some great search-result video came from so I can add it to the list of channels, why, that's "jq -r .uploader_url Romanes\ Eunt\ Domus\ EXPLAINED\ _\ Monty\ Python\'s\ Life\ of\ Brian\ •\ Fun\ with\ Latin-UfH6gjxTTgE.info.json", which sounds horrible but it's really more like ^Rjq^A M-f M-f M-f ^K Ro<TAB>.

Suggested videos and thumbnail display, not to mention buttons to press for the above things, would be a welcome addition, but thumbnail display is difficult in the terminal. Also, it would be pretty great to have a way to not redownload a video after I deleted it, and for youtube-dl to not wait the 227 seconds before deciding not to download a video because it's a four-hour snoozefest recorded livestream.

Lessons Learned from Customer Usage
> Operating a two-sided marketplace is one hell of a moat. Nobody's displacing eBay, Amazon, or the Google Play Store anytime soon; even Craigslist seems to be getting by. Here in Argentina, MercadoLibre established an eBay clone before eBay moved in; the consequence was that eBay just bought shares instead of even trying to compete.

That's due to network effects, not because they're operating a two-sided marketplace. And then you list an example where that moat failed (Argentina - and it's not just Argentina).

I suspect that on this particular market, network effects won't have as strong of an effect and the local players have better market insight since they're far closer to the customer.
not a lot of upside to jokes like that. it's not wildly funny, and it might freak someone out.

It’s a matter of efficient role separation. Most teams i’m aware of do not manually test a PR in the same cycle as a code review. It is absolutely expected that the PR author already tested his changes sufficiently. The manual test is usually reserved for the product or QA team.
When I was in high school, I had a specialized CD like this. The computers in our labs were configured to prevent us from running arbitrary programs, but they weren't configured to prevent booting from a CD.

I created a stripped down Windows 95 live CD that had the default shell replaced by StarCraft. I could sit down at a machine, insert my CD, reboot, and the machine would boot directly into SC.
Turbofan engines have two exhaust components: high pressure/temp exhaust coming from the turbine, and unburnt low pressure air coming from the bypass, which is forced through by the first turbine but not actually burned.

Military craft have low bypass engines, while large civilian craft have high bypass. These different designs trade off engine size and efficiency; large jets are willing to have large engines if they’re more fuel efficient, while military craft have high needs and very little room to spare.

My suspicion is that these techniques will need significant tweaks to work on the very different large engines. Already we’re seeing external nacelle changes to wide body aircraft for noise reasons, rather than the internal design shown here.

You're looking at it from an individual perspective rather than treating mankind as a system to optimise. It would be better as a whole for you to have completed the course either faster or better, and progress onto more productive things.

Reality of course is that you can't optimize a global society of 7 billion individual thinking people with different abilities, wants, hopes, needs, indeed you can't even come up with a measure of what you are trying to optimize, but in my view mankind should have eliminating non-producive work as a goal.

I've just filled in forms to register at the local GP surgery. I had to fill them in on paper, putting name and address multiple times on different forms, this will all be transcribed by one of the receptionists into a computer.

This is waste. My health care system is fairly good with eliminating waste (compared with say the US system), but it's something that should be optimised -- it would have been more efficient for both me and the data entry person if I could have just typed in the data into an online form (complete with autofill), rather than this archaic method from the 1980s.

Having inefficient systems is bad. On the London Underground 20 years ago you had to queue up at a ticket office or machine to buy a ticket. Now you just walk through the barrier with your phone. 100 years ago you would tell someone behind a counter what you wanted and wait around while he went and got it, 50 years ago you walked through the shop and did that yourself, and now with some stores you scan simply pick up what you want and walk out without even paying. The total work done reduces each time, and that's a net win for the species.

Reducing tedious unfulfilling work should be the goal, and a higher minimum wage incentivises that.
That seems interesting. I'd give that a try. I'm not satisfied with any clients I've tried so far.

Queensland has both Australian Crows and Australian Ravens. The tropical north and Western Australia has Australian Crows, and the south-east has only the Australian Ravens.

They're often confused, but this video is in Canberra so a Raven it is.
The Chinese Remainder Theorem does come up in a very real Chinese context, the cycle of sixty, in which e.g. 甲寅 identifies 51 as the number which is simultaneously 1 (mod 10) and 3 (mod 12).

> I've come to dread blogs and newsletters because so many of them are written by grind culture freaks who only write faux-insightful SEO'd content as a way to build an audience to sell snake oil to.

My way around that is to pay. I find paid newsletters/blogs tend to evade SEO crap, for good reason: no one actually likes writing or reading that shit. Also, usually by forgoing the SEO crap they can focus on niche topics and content because they focus on retaining subscriptions.

The subscription also allows the writers to be more human for lack of a better description. They actually use their voice when writing instead of the generic SEO salesman pep, and they feel more comfortable with offering their real opinions and views.
Alice will not be logged in into the server.

Tailscale allows Alice to merely connect to the IP/port, but whatever service is listening on that port still behaves as usual. So if you have an HTTP service that requires Basic auth, that's still required. If it's a MySQL server, still need an account there to login. If it's SSH, you still need a key/password - or whatever your SSH authentication mode is.

Think of Tailscale like a "jet bridge" securely connecting a bunch of buildings - you can use it to walk up to the front door safely (and Tailscale ACL controls traffic inside the tunnels), but to get inside you still need a key for that door (or whatever your auth method is).
On your javascript-free domain it would be a good idea to have a CSP policy with script-src 'none'.
The Real Class War (2019)
Codec support is a very annoying issue on mobile. Hardware support for VP9 (let alone AV1) codecs is relatively recent on Android devices, and Apple doesn't provide HW acceleration for Google's codecs at all (or at least not when I was trying to do it).

Or the native cross-plattform opensource Minitube from https://flavio.tordini.org/minitube . Is already available on most systems through the package manager.
Giving birth can also be specialised. The argument doesn't address any of the concerns, it only points out that for those who can afford quality care, that care is superior to the natural caring of the parents. If only people could start looking at societal issues due to a system that is flawed rather than cherry pick personal beneficial situations that satisfies them to justify the broken system.
I know the guys from TU delft who worked on it ( parallel and distributed systems group).

It is one of respected groups in CS in Netherlands. With your comment you are actually insulting people who have worked for years on this. With your one-liner you are discrediting many thesis, hard work, without any credentials or proof from your side.
That sounds like a pretty cool system.
How to Talk About Boundaries When You're Ready to Date Again
> Not in the "I had kids so my blog went dark for a few years" sense, but in the sense of "ooh twitter was invented and now I just emit a halfassed one-sentence brainfart or 5-second tiktok cellphone video and get way more dopamine hits".

Most blog-entries were never much more than that anyway, especially since the free blog-services started appearing and setting up a blog was effortless. There is a reason why Twitter were named micro-blogging-service in the beginning. And the other side was blogging being a primitive form of social network, till better social networks appeared. So it made sense for people who were more interested in the social aspect to moved to the optimized services.

> I've been reading blogs and perusing my self-curated NetNewsWire RSS feeds for 20+ years, and blogs never went away, RSS never died, Google Reader getting googled didn't really matter, etc.

In both cases, the hype died down, and was replaced by other hypes. The remaining people use them now for the dedicated reasons where both can shine their best. But the danger remains that loosing support will long term lead to them dying for real. In case of RSS it's already happening slowly. Though blogs are more resistant to this, as your blogging does not depend much on external support, as long as you do not care about money or reader-stats.
Isn't it just very different from SSLLabs? Like SSLLabs is testing for TLS configuration and vulnerabilities, this is testing for HTTP security headers. There's some overlap (HSTS), but for the most part these are just two different tools doing different things.
Native means using the host APIs. You can be cross platform and still use host APIs, albeit that's typically a compile time option. But the same is true with Electron et al because they compile an PE (Windows) or ELF (Linux), etc and that PE wouldn't run on Linux any more than the ELF would on Windows.

You can also have applications that some might describe as native but they don't use the host OS's graphical widgets (for example using GTK+ on Windows). I think that's acceptable if you're using other host APIs eg for sound, multi-threading, file system access, etc. It should be clear that in those instances it's a native application with non-native widgets. The main reason I'm happy to accept that edge case is because of my previous history in game development. But for desktop applications some are stricter.

Web applications are not regarded as "native" because they all run inside a virtual machine (the browser) whereas the browser would be a native application.

What this does is pretty much exactly the same as Electron except instead of bundling Chromium with the website, it starts a webserver and then forks an existing Chrome install to access that local webserver. Either way it's still a web application rather than native application. However the benefit with this model is you arguably get some memory savings by not having to run multiple instances of Chromium.
Definitely. Money isn't the solution to everything. It's necessary, but if there's no actual buy-in by the people and/or the ones in charge, it's like throwing money into a pit and setting it on fire.
I really like it. The UI is clean, but lately music videos won't play sometimes because "The media could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed or becase the format is not supported" (for example: https://yewtu.be/watch?v=3gy8hkVMqwQ), no matter what instance I try.

Not sure if it's my own web browser, but this was not happening before.
Blogs should not be reliant by search engines, we need a better way to build trusted networks between content authors where tech Giants are not required.

It's a shame this was flagged. It's unclear why.
I had the same experience. Have a few very popular posts that rank quite high even on Google (with absolutely no SEO bullshit done to them) but they represent maybe 5% of what I wrote about.

People find me through those posts and end up sticky around for the more personal/rambly stuff.
It is as inbound as it is outbound. If the users don't get the article they saved delivered, then there's no point is there? ;)

Awkward.

Fundamentally, a buyer can walk away from buying something. There's a contract and it surely has contingencies for these cases, no need for drama.

That said, it does seem like the contract was broken in a really nasty way - apparently the French were told about it mere hours before the media announcement.

So the French are very angry, and possibly over-reacting, but only a little, it seems understandable. It makes sense for them to lash out at EU-wide negotiations with Australia.

But of course that affects countries that had nothing to do with the whole ordeal.

The cynic in me wonders if there is an element of some kind of political point-scoring by the British; Britain is on course to sign a deal with Australia. Some kind of, "see, we can do it and they can't".

Worth keeping in perspective that trade with Australia is a small slice of EU's trade overall.
Thanks for the heads up. I am not going to buy it then.
I would really like to see some projects that leverage SVC, as I haven't seen a single example (and ffmpeg doesn't support them).
For the UK it's a tripple whammy right now: high gas prices, a fire at an interchange to France and with Brexit they left the EU’s internal energy market. As a result the prices for electricity are skyrocketing at certain times of the day.

But you are merging issues. The US having complicated sets of laws isn't really an argument for/against privacy... it's an argument for reform.

I can definitely see how a lack of privacy can be used against you. But I'm just saying it's correlative or causative. i.e you can be fairly transparent with a group, and still be relatively free with that group. The privacy isn't what leads to that freedom, it is trust.

At the government level, that is possibly non-existent. But I think it's important to remember that it's trust (or not needing trust) that is the driver of freedom, not other factors.
I think a lot of people are looking for that. This is especially true for folks with lower-end hardware where hardware decoding may be supported by the system but not (well) by the browser, or at least the rest of the browser runtime would use way too much resources.

NewPipe on Android is somewhat popular because it's much lighter than other Youtube clients (browser included) and enables features which Youtube official clients prevent on purpose (audio-only, download). We don't have an equivalent to that on the desktop. gtk-pipe-viewer [0] is close to that, but is not widely available yet.

A problem you need to tackle when distributing a 3rd party client for a centralized network is you have to deal with constant micro-changes in the public-facing API, which the silo does on purpose to break 3rd party clients. youtube-dl from distro repos is almost unusable all the time because of that except on rolling-release (most people use pip version instead), and Newpipe had to make their own F-Droid repository because f-droid.org vetting/build process is too slow for that particular usecase. [1]

EDIT: If you're looking for solutions to distribute your client, packaging for every distro out there is "hard" (better leave that to distro maintainers, except for your favorite distros of course) but there's a few distro-agnostic formats that are very easy to automate builds for: 0install, AppImage, Flatpak, guix, nix. The first two are statically linked (and PGP signed) and 0install is even compatible with Mac and Windows build (and any other platform, theoretically). Flatpaks are more Linux specific (some *BSD support in progress) and require a bit more setup to interface with other parts of the system escaping the sandbox (eg. for VAAPI), see the Portals mechanism. nix/guix are intended for reproducible builds: you need to package your dependencies first so it's definitely easier to get started if most of your dependency tree is already packaged there.

All in all, supporting those 5 build systems should keep you busy for a few days at the start of your project but will be a huge win for portability and maintainability in the long run. If your project's architecture is not too complex and the dependencies are easy to package, some external contributors (me?) could help with that.

Good luck on your project!

[1] As a user i'm happy f-droid.org default repo goes to great length to ensure quality of apps on there and that no antifeature are silently introduced by updates, but i'm also happy apps with specific needs for rapid upgrades like Newpipe can develop their own repo, and a simple QRCode can help bootstrap the repository entry + PGP key without having to mess around with repo settings manually
This is an amazing idea !
Buried deep inside the article:

> Based on the images and video provided observers, the object’s diameter is estimated at 20 meters (ft). Similar to what happened with [the 1994 impact of the comet Shoemaker-Levy 9], this object is believed to be the remnant of a larger comet or asteroid that was captured by Jupiter’s gravity that broke up shortly before the impact took place.

I don't know what "20 meters (ft)" means. Probably a typo?
It's weird, I have worked at many organisations - and at almost none of them did my manager have the ability to fire me. Is this an American thing?

In most of these orgs, getting rid of someone is kind of hard work, usually involving a lot of HR. A manager would have much more luck getting you moved to a different team.
It's relevant because a primary alternative to partnering with China is likely to be partnering with the US.

DeFi and the Rise of Stablecoins
While people were betting on alternative technologies that could best deliver the promises of Bitcoin, stablecoins quietly stole the spotlight and gave birth to what we know know as DeFi.
Working remotely has been the highlight of the pandemic - it was the perk I never knew I wanted until I had it. I’m hoping it doesn’t get pulled back now that the “great experiment” has proven that it works. The main thing irking me now is the few companies trying to tie wages to location as if my skill set is somehow less valuable because I live on the north side of the street rather then the south. Unfortunately they are major employers - supposedly progressive companies like Google and Facebook - so there is a real danger that could catch on if they are successful. Obscuring your location from your employer could be a thing. Slack tattletales your timezone, so you would need to make sure your computer’s clock is set to the right timezone. You might need a vpn running so things like smtp doesn’t record ip addresses that will betray your physical location, etc.
