So true. I would never want to work for Facebook, but I’ve always wanted to reply back to their persistent recruiters with an obscene salary expectation just to see if they’ll consider it.

Could you get mDNS setup?
> domain name system

And it's already there it seems: https://ens.domains/

I wonder how does one integrate ENS into an existing DNS-based system — is there a DNS-compatible resolver that will look up names on ENS (and an IPv4/IPv6 proxy perhaps)?

It's also a missed opportunity to provide hierarchical certificates at the same time, signed by the registry, though in a sense, a smart contract is exactly that, but I am more interested in simple name-resolution and TLS communication for traditional web applications like HTTP and mail (name-to-IP).
What I can piece together post the Lebanon war, Saudi Arabia and other gulf states provided substantial aid to Lebanon to reconstruct. But in 2016 Saudi Arabia cut off its aid when relations got spoiled. Lebanon has lots of government corruption so much of aid was wasted. Then there is the explosion last year that set them back even more. Foreign countries want reforms before they will donate further.

I've used flux and similar apps for a long time but I've always been annoyed by the lofty claims. It changes the color of your screen, that's good enough, they don't have to act like they're going to turn our lives around.
here are some checkboxes in winaero inder the "disable windows ads" title:

[x] stop unwanted apps windows auto-installs

[x] start menu suggestions

[x] ads in explorer

notice how the first checkbox has "stop" and the second and third don't? to me, if "ads in explorer" is checked, it means you have ads in explorer. not to the winaero guys though. if "ads" are checked, no ads. sometimes. sometimes if "stop ads" is checked, no ads.

my favorite is android, where you have a toggle, and depending on how it's set, the description of the toggle changes. so you have the toggle "off" and it says "disable this feature."
>I think, without evidence, that he was working with a US adversary and his entire public image will collapse under scrutiny in court. Should I follow that or wait for more information?

None of the charges have anything to do with him working with a US adversary, it's silly to think revelations about that will come out in a trial for a completely unrelated incident.

Remember, the hackers that supposedly stole the DNC documents have already been indicted, and the US Justice System was so convinced that Wikileaks and Assange were not involved in criminal activity that they called them something like "organization A." If he was knowingly working with them, they would have charged him in those indictments. Even from a PR standpoint, why would the US spend years getting negative press about their treatment of Assange if they had a slam dunk like that.

One case where I still think ORMs like SQLAlchemy make a great sense is in open-source software than can be configured to work with different databases (lime SQLite/Postgres/Maria).

Time-blocking is useful, but an additional affordance of a physical publication is that when you're done with it, you can simply pick up the whole thing and dispose of it.

Opening up browser tabs creates the problem of having to identify which of those need closing. Depending on your browsing habits and/or tools, that itself can be nontrivial.

Physically manifested information has its advantages.

A population at 60's level would be much easier on the planet, and the countless species we've since lost forever.

To me that easily outweighs the sum of all those joys; temporary and impermanent, unlike the extinctions of species and glories the planet will never see again. And, I'll remind you that we still have more than enough starvation, despite the ability to feed all.

Your reading of the arguments here as "against science" are a straw man.
The typical control scheme today is that one stick controls the camera and the other moves the character (in any direction). The scheme the OP is describing is one set of controls for rotating the character and another set for moving forward and backwards.

The problem with the description above is that the games described didn't use "sticks" for this -- the N64 was the first console released with a (single) thumbstick (in Mario 64, you use the four yellow "C" face buttons to reposition the camera). The PlayStation Dual Analog controller, with its dual thumbsticks, didn't come out until a year after Mario 64.

The forward-back-rotate scheme was more common as a way to implement 3D movement with a directional pad or the arrow/WASD keys on a keyboard. (What obsoleted it on the PC wasn't dual stick controls but the invention of mouselook.)

It's also worth noting that a lot of highly regarded early 3D games had fixed cameras not because of the lack of a workable control scheme but because it allowed the use of prerendered background graphics and/or reduced the complexity of the scene that needed to be rendered (Final Fantasy VII, Resident Evil, etc.).

I worked at Google on a somewhat core system (Billing) and was completely shocked by how bad pretty much every unit within it was. The overarching service would go down a fair amount, despite the whole thing amounting to a big MySQL queue. Management would turn over as different people sought to make their career on fixing it. I got out, fast. I wonder if they ever fixed it.
If I need to store guac, a layer of lime juice and plastic wrap without air-avo contact keeps it green and good. Can't say I've tried keeping half an avocado but I suspect the same technique could work if the acidic flavor isn't a nuisance (there might be alternatives to lime). Maybe a spray bottle could apply it.

You've "made stuff up" about entire languages in your previous reply. I am struggling to find more ways to explain that, in English, it is acceptable to refer to unknown quantities or identities of people with "they" and "them".

"My bank denied my loan application again, I can't believe them!" - Correct - Unknown, amorphous entity, regardless if the rejection was specifically caused by a man or woman or otherwise.

"temp8964 replied to me on HN again, she's quite persistent." - Incorrect - Without knowing who you are, is it still acceptable for me to blindly assert that you must be a woman and doing otherwise is wrong?

A bit of leakage is acceptable. Did you know that natural gas that already in widespread use today leaks as well.

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S03603...

Come to think of it, most of the problems we have with hydrogen we also have with natural gas - which we dealt with just fine; we even had natural gas powered cars, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_gas_vehicle

Hydrogen storage is an active field of research.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_storage

I say we keep our options open. It's worth further exploring the use of hydrogen as a energy storage and transportation medium.

It's complicated. Suffice to say that it's in part from years of corruption, rampant debt, political revolution, international pressure/manipulation, an influx of migrants/refugees, and no significant trade/business to repair the economic impacts. The problems have been bubbling for years, but 2019 was the beginning of the implosion.

The Steam Revolution
Web 3.0 was indeed the semantic web [1], which Google, Facebook, and Digg/Reddit killed, though perhaps not entirely consciously.

The tooling around FOAF and similar semantic web microformats wasn't very good, and Atom/RSS wasn't needed or widely supported when the web became increasingly siloed. Web 3.0 died when personal websites and blogs stopped being the most common publishing medium.

"New web 3.0" is web + NFTs. The analogy I see thrown around is this :

Web 1.0 : read-only

Web 2.0 : read + write

Web 3.0 : read + write + ownership

Which is stupid, because we already have ownership.

Those prices seem overly dramatic. Avocados (certainly not native to the "few acres of snow" that is Canada) is 5 for ~$6 at the moment. Bread is sometimes $4 for a crunchy loaf I like, or maybe $1 in flour when I make my own.

I don't eat avocado toast, but it costs a lot less than what most people spend on decent coffee in a morning.
No. The author of the article already assumed Satoshi is a singular person. Your argument is irrelevant in this context.

We use it as a rest api framework for a react front end and it’s just fine. Performance is not really and issue for us so far. If you like express you will like Ktor, but you will find less libraries for middleware stuff. Exposed is also pretty nice as a JDBC wrapper and object mapper. If you like composing libraries over using a framework then it’s a good choice. If you are invested in coroutines like us Ktor is great, but Exposed isn’t really async all the way through and you’d want something like r2dbc ideally. Exposed has a wrapper for coroutines though.

Clikt is a nice config parser as well, and Koin is fine for DI. Jackson has good Kotlin support, and I haven’t tried the Kotlin serialization package yet but it looks interesting.

These days i prefer some of the library stitching done for me and would probably opt for spring boot and webflux which has nice Kotlin and coroutine support now.

The second 'key in dict' option is not thread safe if dict_ is not local (another thread may delete the entry between the existence check and use). This is a good reason why the exception handling approach is a better idiom.

The exception handling approach may also be faster if your code cares (may, because I don't know if the cost of calculating the hash of "key" twice is cheaper than the exception handling overhead).
Some of my co-workers use reduced blue light on their monitors, and when I need to work with them on something on their machines, I experience significant eye strain because of absence of the blue light. I just can't see as clearly as normal without the blue light. I'm not sure how they adapted to it, or perhaps they experience the same eye strain but they think it's OK because they are convinced that blue light hurts their eyes. Eye strain hurts your eyes that's for sure.

I've seen what I would describe as clear propaganda that denies it. Much of it is consistent and claims "hypochondria", "mass hysteria", or "workplace injuries", with no basis for those dismissals.

And, I've also seen outright hostility towards our CIA and State Dept personnel, deriding them as immoral "spooks" and deserving of whatt happening to them.

In all, it reads distinctly like propaganda from an adversarial nation-state.

I always liked the singular "they". It was supposedly normal usage for hundreds of years before some prescriptivists tried to stamp it out.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singular_they

"The singular they emerged by the 14th century,[3] about a century after the plural they. It has been commonly employed in everyday English ever since then and has gained currency in official contexts. Singular they has been criticised since the mid-18th century by prescriptive commentators who considered it an error."

I think if you are using an ORM you should know SQL anyway.
If you are running into trouble with the mappings it means the the database layout isn't how you are using it in your application.

And that is find when you have more than one application using the database, but, if you are the only one using it, then likely you should change it until it does.

In our team we typically use noSql for databases with single applications, and SQL for ones where we have a lot of applications hanging off the same database.

Just because it means we can match what the application is doing and the database closer.

There's really no consequences to prosecuting him, win or lose.
Ludvig is one of the best systems-level computer programmers of this era. His focus is on optimization in every way has been the secret to success for these projects; something that is sadly missing in most software these days. µTorrent came about when other torrent software was heavy so it took over the market. The Spotify Desktop client came when instant streaming music online was a lot more difficult than it is now, and the case for ScummVM is obvious. He was one of those assembly and C win32 programmers who wrote code as close to the OS as possible, even when .NET and Java and even MFC had major marketing pushes.

I was on a puzzle team with him and he was our secret weapon, programming brute force "scripts" to find the solution before anyone could solve it logically, winning us the competition handily. And I also remember (wrongly) discouraging him from making µTorrent because I felt it was already a saturated field. Luckily he did not pay attention to my suggestion.
Because Lebanon is a pawn in the proxy wars between the US, Israel, Iran, and Saudi Arabia. All of them want to help, but only if Lebanon does things "their" way, and not the "other's" way, and none of "them" will allow the "other" to help. And the IMF says their government is not giving enough concessions. It's all pretty fucked up.

Foreign intervention is unlikely without government reform. With traditional donors such as Iran, the United States, the United Kingdom and Persian Gulf nations both hesitant to push money into a corrupt system and also dealing with their own economic problems, Lebanon set its hopes on an International Monetary Fund bailout. But after weeks of discussions, there is no agreement in sight to even begin the negotiations.

The U.S, the largest donor to the IMF, wants any bailout to come on the condition that there is a diminution of Hezbollah’s power. The U.S is also the largest donor to the Lebanese army, making for a delicate balancing act. “We are supportive of Lebanon as long as they get the reforms right and they are not a proxy state for Iran,” Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said last week.

In an unusual move, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah said last week that Hezbollah would be open to receiving help from the U.S. despite calling it “an enemy” of Lebanon. Pompeo’s remarks followed Nasrallah’s comments that Lebanon had an opportunity to buy fuel from “a friend called Iran in exchange for Lebanese pounds.” The secretary of state dismissed the claims as “unacceptable”, adding that the U.S. will do everything necessary to stop Iran from sending crude oil anywhere.

There is little optimism for the future of the IMF talks, which have not even agreed on the balance of losses, let alone the negotiations and have now been stalled. “The government refuses to implement any reform, any prerequisite the IMF had for even continuing the talks,” said Jad Chaaban, an economist at the American University of Beirut. While the political elite argues without much consensus, the refusal to reform is crushing the Lebanese people.

A lot comments claim that blue light does not affect their sleep, and the others claim it does. Well, blue light does not affect "everyone" the same way "all the time". Computer screens did not affect me until around 15 years ago when I started having trouble sleeping- basically lied awake in bed for 1-2 hours after heavy screen usage before falling asleep. I started using f.lux and the problem instantly went away. Now I use built-in night light setting in the OS, and if that is not an option, manually reduce blue level of the monitor RGB settings.
