RX 580 for Sway. A RX 6800 XT would be great, but they still cost a lot. The new ones work really well with linux, is what I hear. But you should follow the latest kernel versions, due to lots of bugs being fixed at the moment by AMD.

For passthrough, just have another graphics card and follow the Arch wiki for installation. It works quite well:

I like this idea.

I kind of think I want to write my own that integrates with org-roam.

I like the concept of networked notes, but find I don't take enough of them because of the effort involved in doing so. Making it easier to capture the information would be great.

I'd probably also want to integrate with Anki for the notes that I want to eventually commit to memory.
Handle in terms of what?

Making sure things continue to work? Delegate to trusted and capable friends, freelances, or hires.

Making sure you don't die of FOMO while offline? Deal with it as you would with any addiction: just go and stop coming up with excuses. In a couple of days you'll restore your sanity and appreciate freedom.

Software doesn't need to be filled with bugs intentionally. Software is basically the art of writing and selectively removing bugs. It happens naturally and if for some reason you find your software has evolved to a state of optimal bugginess then you fire your last developer. See! No intention required.

What’s the incentive for users to use it?

You’re offering a comparable product except with no real existing user base and a higher friction to gain new users for your community.

There’s some marginal audience in people interested in the principle of the thing, but the bulk of your users are going to be users that can’t be serviced by the main players.

If your only offering is “X, but we won’t ban you” then you’re going to collect the dregs of the internet.

There’s a bit of a feedback loop here as well in that many of the existing services are banning users and communities because they’re negatively impacting advertisers and the rest of the community. So when your service is overrun with the undesirables in short order, the rest of the communities are going to be negatively incentivized to migrate and you’re going to find it impossible to find any real financial support or backing.

So no, I don’t think “X, but free speech” will ever turn into anything but a cesspool. You need an offering that will attract desirable users as fast or faster than the undesirables that have been kicked out of anywhere else can sign up and that’s going to take some sort of additional value.
It's tedious but it is possible to click on the context menu next to an ad, then click "why am I seeing this ad", and then click "never show ads from this source again".

Now that I think of it, a client side extension that automates this process, would be an interesting thing. Generally the same idea as the extension mentioned in the top post, which automates the client-side of unfollowing everything, but for attempting to 'block' ads from everything. I wonder if they've rate limited that...
And every recommendation on the site starts with the appropriate amount of negative gain.

But if you miss it, somehow, then setting it to the next whole number of decibels larger than the largest gain will do.

The civil preponderance of the evidence standard literally can be met by ”he said/she said" testimony by whichever party the trier of fact (jury or judge, depending on if it is a jury or bench trial) finds more credible.

It’s not a crime (I mean, the same act is already a crime, but that's not the law in question), so the criminal “beyond a reasonable doubt” standard of proof doesn't apply.

Yea, it's a little difficult to describe, but it's more than just pure speed, it's mental load. Vim let's me integrate the entire development process into a single flow. This is true fractally: from typing all the way to being able to comfortably live inside my screen sessions.

It's difficult for me articulate how valuable it is to maintaining flow to almost _never_ feel like I'm switching muscle-memory contexts, where my text editing and screen switching and file-handling and model-training and everything else all feel like I'm in the same app.

I've never come close to achieving this using a graphical IDE, including with vim keybindings.

It obviously requires up-front investment in a way that more newb-friendly GUI tools don't, but I was lucky enough to make that commitment in college, when the initial hit to my productivity was practically costless.
Don't be ridiculous. The only and obvious answer to the question is "no" -- the terminal itself and all commands inside it run unimpeded.
Sure, but only a fraction of those with an MBA go into said fields and I would argue an internal corporate rigorous training program for high potential leaders would be more suitable.
This is exactly what Sonarworks is doing, but without a specific software package to implement it (and sell to you).
All these large technology platforms are as ubiquitous as utilities, as powerful as governments, and as unregulated as can be. Their network effects and access to capital gives them unusually strong protection from competition, and also the ability to just copy smaller competitors with impunity. After all, what legal action could a cash-tight startup take up against a behemoth with a war chest in the tens of billions of Dollars? Given their size, scope, and the lack of healthy competition, they need to be reigned in. We need to treat social media platforms like we treat telecom services - as common carriers. And we need to treat other large tech platforms as public utilities as well.

Nah. Nobody needs to use FB to communicate, there are many dozens of available communication platforms, you can't even sign up for FB without a phone number anyway, this idea that FB is some critical communication infrastructure is totally false.

My cousin is a Merchant Marine Engineer. Some big ships can't leave port without one, yet they are in short supply. So he's paid a lot per voyage. Two or three multi-week voyages and he'd done working for the year.

Early on in his career, an officer would request his passport. To make things go faster in port, all the passports could be presented at once for quicker clearing of customs etc.

Of course he learned immediately, this meant he could not leave the ship in foreign port. And the officer sandbagged when he requested his passport back. The result was, he was essentially held captive for several months aboard ship, several times longer than he was contracted for. And the ship could count on having an Engineer for every leg of the journey.

Now he knows better, keeps his passport on his person at all times.
No, you can mute any friend (or any page) without them knowing, but I think the term they use is unfollow.
Why is this worthy of media attention? As much as I despise social networking websites, I don't see anything wrong here.
> I manually unfollowed almost every friend and every page I followed a couple years ago. ... I ended up enjoying Facebook again, even if in a very different way.

Facebook and other social media platforms actually gives users a lot of tools to tailor their feeds. Muting or unfollowing people (leaving the friend connection intact) should be the go-to operation for anyone who's always posting things you aren't interested in.

The other half of tailoring your feed is learning to embrace the like button. If you see something you like, click the like button. Sounds simple, but I know a lot of people who refuse to click the like button because they dislike the concept of like counts, but they forget that it's one of the primary mechanisms for telling the algorithms what you want to see. The more you like content, the more you'll see it.

> These reports are investigated. The number of deaths reported to VAERS is inconsistent with results of clinical trials for the major COVID vaccines.

A clinical trial !== an investigation into the report. Do you know what the investigation for each of these reports concluded or are you assuming they were "inaccurate".

Have you read these detailed submissions of VAERS? It's very hard to conclude anything other than the vaccine does have adverse effects in some people.
IANAL. You probably know this already, but C&D's are not legal documents - just scare tactics. The result from ignoring it for >48hrs would simply be Facebook escalating... if they decided to.

I have worked for places that have completely ignored C&D's with no repercussions.

That being said, Facebook can use this down the road as an example of them providing ample warning and notice to the developer – which, yes, is something that a judge would consider. There just aren't, say, specific legal outcomes to ignoring this C&D's (totally arbitrary) timeframe.
You explicitly upgraded the terrorism connotation to being part of the meaning by using it to draw a distinction between the two words categorical referents.

Instead I think you should have directly questioned whether the connotation of violence was part of the point you were responding to.
Heads up: you probably responded to the wrong comment. I've never said anything about toilets or faucets.
Good to hear it's working for you too sir! I only tried DOTA in college, so don't know about that. LoL I tried but it wasn't that satisfying as HOTS though. Although my preference was always HOTS over LoL. I can imagine LoL has the same effects for someone who likes LoL better. I've met others who gain the same results with completely different games so I believe it all comes down to doing something you enjoy.
The thing is non-harmonization doesn't really promote experimentation, it promotes competitive-market-leading behavior. Obviously there are limits to how much it matters - lots more startups in CA compared to South Dakota. But I don't think there's a lot of evidence that non-harmonization provides an incentive to experiment, so much as it makes countries have economic incentives to treat things like a zero sum game.
Spend more time with my kids. Read a lot of books on my e-reader.
So much this. I think that is something that the proponents of the "metaverse theory" don't get.

The rise of videogames has been predicted for ages , but if you look at total-hours of entertainment enjoyed by the population they are still lagging compared to passive mediums.

I also think that when adulthood comes around that's the time when the preference for passive storytelling really emerges in a crystal clear manner.

> 2) Iterate faster. If you have a build that takes 10 minutes and the next guy has a build that takes less than a minute they can fail 10x more frequently and achieve the same level of productivity.

I think this is very under rated. There are so many things that can reduce developer latency (time between making a change to the code and seeing if it works, or deploying to production) is one of the most under rated aspects of software engineering productivity.

Most other factors pale in comparison.

Yeah, I thought about finding some Japanese calendars. I need to look up some places where to buy in EU - it's kind of difficult to find some interesting places with less popular brands as search results are spammed by producers which sell calendars in bulk for companies.

I would never have a calendar wrapped in leather (re: Smythson).

Miquelrius looks fun. Thanks for your suggestions.
there may be ulterior motives by government actors against the power being amassed by multinational corporations, but the connection to increased popular suppression seems tenuous at best. we need to be shrinking the power and reach of any large organization relative to the individual, so this agreement can be seen as a net win in that regard. the 750MM cliff however, is ripe for abuse (e.g., split into multiple subsidiaries that are just shy of 750). tax rates need to be severely progressive and continuous to avoid such shenanigans.

Hi Guys, Two questions
What is the best performance review method for small tech companies.
Second - Do you think the IT team should have their separate performance review method? As our IT team has 20-25 people and other team have max of 2-4 people (Marketing, Ops)
Even more ominous than a cease & desist is a cease & decease, which is how the article (presumably inadvertently) describes it.
Do they provide bulk tooling or automation APIs to do it effectively?
A quick search of the iOS store comes up with a lot of astrology apps. Apple is saying, hey, we have enough of this crap already. Do something useful.
- Low latency is desirable

- Transistors are getting cheaper

- Therefore it is cheap to put computing closer to I/O (which reduces latency)

- That computing will not have the sorts of things a general-purpose CPU has (maybe no MMU, limited RAM, perhaps it's a harvard architecture)
Shit, so those people were terrorists.

Excellent thinking! These are the SDKs to worry about. Next is, who do they ‘phone home’ to?

An easy way to find things is with a local proxy or DNS log, as your phone looks up things on behalf of apps. Which things are looked up by more than one app?

A few I noticed back in 2019:

iOS “User Linking” Trackers

[business].app.link
[business].onelink.me
[hash].ulink.adjust.com
[business].bttn.io
bnc.lt
branch.io

Then you can also see who is invoking them coming from the domain tree:

- https://securitytrails.com/list/apex_domain/app.link (2962)

- https://securitytrails.com/list/apex_domain/onelink.me (998)

Social engineering will always be a concern. This was as much of a problem as it was 40 years ago, and Apple adding dialogues in the way of it doesn't stop anything, it just changes the path attackers take to reach ultimately the same goal.

If you don't want to understand security, fine: just don't be surprised when your personal information ends up in the hands of the wrong people. Everyone has a duty to understand their own threat model, and any reasonably comprehensive model would include Apple as an ultimately untrusted party. It's a zero-sum game, so they may as well just make it easier for me to use their devices when I'm forced to.
Biological Computer Made from Single-Celled Organisms Can Crunch Data
For the type after identifier, the converse is what you see in C family languages. For example:

// in C
int x = ...

// in Rust
let x: i32 = ...

There's a couple of things that Rust can do better than C here. First, is that Rust is easier to parse because you know that let begins a variable declaration. If we look at C, maybe it's a variable, maybe it's a function and you have to get past the identifier to figure that out. The second more user-facing change is that you can omit the type in Rust if you can derive it from somewhere else, e.g. the return type of a function call or a primitive.

Okay so would you like the criteria for all site's users to be a "connotation of violence" to meet the extremist threshold?

That is even looser than wishing death and would cover many more communities.

Let's clear things up by a simple question:

How do you define "extremist"?
You are asking about deployment workflows. I currently use a variety, but Git, SFTP, rsync are used often. I am also in an environment where much of the work is an internal intranet, so Windows/SMB file sharing is used.

I would NEVER use plain FTP for deployment. You really need some strong encryption for authentication and transfer. If at all possible use SFTP in place of FTP.

I think the only valid use case for FTP is accessing legacy and embedded systems. But only if you control the network. I think it had been at least four years since I had to log into an old FTP system.
"Long term alcoholics, talking decades+ <...> become incredibly tolerant and can consume huge amounts in ways that would make a normal person wretch."

That I can attest to. Only two weeks ago a longtime friend of mine died of cirrhosis of the liver and it was doubly horrible as it was very difficult to visit him in hospital due to COVID restrictions (although he wasn't infected as such).

The amount of alcohol he could put away horrified me. I'd often see him at functions and if I poured him a drink and I didn't fill his glass to the brim then he'd get irritated. The amount of alcohol he could consume and still remain coherent staggered me (if I'd consumed the same amount in a single sitting as he was able to then I'd be fully out to it under the table).

Sad really, he was trained as an organic chemist and he knew full well that his liver was being destroyed as it struggled in its first-pass attempt to eliminate the alcohol (that being the partial oxidation of ethanol into poisonous acetaldehyde).
Sorry, I don't follow. Is that the Chewbacca defense?
True, but has this ever not been the case? Pols and Execs alike want great (or at least not bad) sound bites. They perform on an act on a stage.
Sure. Let's try an experiment where all countries agree to a minimum tax rate, and see what that does.

We've tried race-to-the-bottom. We've tried penalize-till-we-get-hitler. We've tried tickle-down. We've tried fascism-masquerading-as-communism. Let's try globally coordinated minimum tax!
And then, where to publish it? On a website based in an American jurisdiction? On some browser extension store?

Great idea.

By "elites" do you mean the people living in the countries or states that attract capital? Ireland's standard of living has increased dramatically because they adopted low taxation regime. It's ridiculous to pretend that forcing countries that don't have much in the way of resources or infrastructure to adopt higher taxes somehow helps them. This might help the U.S. or Germany keep companies "in house" but it certainly does not help Ireland or similar countries.
