I'd be much more profitable to them if I didn't pay the debts, and they'd accrue the usurious interest charges.

I found this out (and the term) after discovering my credit score was lower than I expected. With some investigation, it was low because it showed I had a lot of credit card debt. Paying it off each month did not factor into the credit score.

This is equivalent of replacing the IP address with a pseudonym that is rotated daily per each IP address.

Privacy improvements using crypto is somewhat marketing, but here the numbers show that they have a really good product, an impressive revenue model and a good marketing message so I think that's what we should look at.

Technically, at the end of the day, they store utm_source, they store the IP address (just in an encoded form with a salt + day added to it).

So sorry to hear about your mother. I just went through this with my father-in-law and will share some of the things we are most grateful for looking back.

* My partner told her employer right away and they were unbelievably supportive throughout the process, giving her PTO, understanding when she wasn't able to perform 100%, and always encouraging her to put her dad first. Not all employers are this great, but you may be surprised by how yours reacts

* We all practiced being in the moment, doing our best to enjoy each moment, especially the little things (e.g. lunch outside in the sun)

* There were ups and downs in his treatment and every "up" was an excuse to spend as much quality time together as possible

* We temporarily moved to be closer to him, both to help provide care and to spend as much with him as we could

I don't know where you are in your career or what constraints you might have, but if you can afford it my advice to you is to put your mother first always. Be transparent with your employer, ask for their support, and don't put up with any bullshit if it comes your way.

A government is much more than a large corporation that is "impractical" to opt out of. They are the sole arbiter of legitimate force, and the sole entity that can govern your behavior in places you have a right to be. Corporations are perfectly practical to opt out of, as demonstrated by the many people who do. Find me one person who doesn't pay taxes and doesn't go to jail. I know plenty of people who don't interact with FAANG at all. Corporations will never rise to the legitimate use of force. If they do, they'll be governments.

I think of software engineering like motor oil. You can apply it across a wide variety of contexts, but it's by no means the engine.

Laws against theft are just because violence is a legitimate form of recourse against thieves. In order to surrender this right to violence, people need an alternative recourse.

This raises further questions - if they aren’t worried about unmasking their attacker, why not go ahead and name & shame them in the article, instead of giving away just enough information to enable a witch-hunt?
No, you should not. We draw the lines wherever we think we want them. If you think the line is in the wrong place, you bribe a legislator to move it, or vote, or something like that.

I don't think "WANT" is the right word there. "WANT" is active, and I would posit that merchants "reluctantly accept reality" when it comes to credit cards.

The obviously silly analogue would be that a merchant who dislikes guns could choose to hang a sign in their texas cafe with "no guns allowed", but they probably won't. That doesn't mean they WANT people to bring in guns, but that they think it would do too much harm within the market they're in to reject them. It would be a case of "reluctant acceptance of reality".

I think credit cards are the same. It should be self-evident that a merchant would want customers to pay with debit cards since the lack of interchange fees means the merchant makes strictly more money. Of course they want to make more money. But they also must accept that charging more fees for credit card users or rejecting them entirely would reduce overall customer base and profit, and so they accept that people can use credit cards. They want customers, not credit card usage.

Something that I never see discussed with regards to decentralization: it is more or less required if you want to have meaningful cultural diversity. This is, I think, a bit obvious if you look at history: centralized states with well-defined languages and laws end up swallowing all the smaller dialects, cultures, and kingdoms. Good for empire managers, bad for culture.

English-language media is currently doing this to a lot of smaller cultures and languages, replacing them with a uniform monoculture. And that’s because the same thing happens when communication tech is centralized in a small number of megacorps.

The original appeal of the Internet to me was the potential for a vast amount of interesting subcultures. So while decentralization does enable a lot of messy and undesirable stuff, I think it might be a requirement if you don’t want everything, everywhere to be exactly the same.
Right, as it turns out it was because Midnight Commander doesn't handle the non-standard extension Info-ZIP uses to store the file attributes.

Whether others have this issue, you don't know. And they don't know, which is not surprising given the rude tone they (or you) reacted to my report. Also, I was actually using a pretty popular app to quickly unpack the archive, so it's more like SS14's problem than MC's. Simply because they are bigger and more wide spread. (Not saying that it wouldn't be nice if they improved their ZIP file handling.)

Anyway, tar.gz is without any doubt the most obvious and safest bet if you are targeting unix systems.
> These seem like solvable problems with decentralized systems. In both cases, someone has to go through the work of manually identifying the bad content, right? In a centralized system, that's someone working for the system - in a decentralized system, that's a random user.

It's solvable in the same sense that email spam is solvable. Much like adblockers, spam is "solved" by re-centralizing.

> If the volume of spam is truly extreme, then what's to prevent you from having distributed blocklists that are fed by automated processes (as opposed to manual additions), and users just subscribe to the ones that they trust?

Most users are unequipped to evaluate that and disinterested in putting in a bunch of work to defend themselves against the flaws of the system at hand. Like adblockers or email, most members of the general population want it to be easy, automatic, and require minimal effort beyond clicking the button that gets them going.

Users generally want things to work for them. Investing deeply in protecting themselves because the system's designers didn't consider abuse is rarely towards the top of the priority list. People like things that just work, and the further a thing is from that the more adoption will struggle.
They didn't respect that, though.

And no, I don't want to "work on this", I want to not be tracked by default.
Well, I did try to get my credit limit raised temporarily once so I could buy a car with the card, and get the cash back. The CC company refused. I pointed out how they'd still be making 2% net on the transaction, which would be well worth their while. This kind of pitch was above the pay grade of the phone people, and I got the "there's nothing I can do" garbage.

> These iron-hungry plants could be producing more, say, zinc than they themselves need, which could allow the human population to expand even with less iron available.

There are a couple of ways this could work.

The human population might have access to a source of iron which is not available to the plants. In this case, we can model the system as iron going from a mine somewhere (say) to the plant population, mediated by human remains. The iron isn't being drawn from the human population.

Or, this human subspecies might store a lot more iron than it actually needs to survive. Maybe they grow their own metallic armor or something. In this case, the remains of one human contain enough iron to support several other humans, so returning human remains to the soil in order to grow more plants could cause in increase in the human population, though the new humans would have impaired armor or whatever.

The issue I see with the iron/algae/krill model is that it's explicit that the additional iron for the algae is coming out of the krill. So we have two questions:

(1) Can krill get their iron through some other means than eating it?

(2) Do krill sequester more iron than they need to survive?

I'm assuming that krill obtain their iron through their diet. So unless an adult krill sequesters more iron than it needs, it doesn't really matter how much algae the recycled iron can produce -- less iron in the krill population will necessarily mean a smaller krill population. If the krill population isn't limited by iron, it may be happy to grow to accommodate the new larger supply of algae. But in order to do that, it will need to keep a certain amount of iron. If that iron has to come out of the algae the new krill supposedly eat, then how much larger is the new supply of algae really? Once the krill population gets back up to its original size, all of the "additional" iron is gone.

Putting this another way, if we think that algae are limited by the availability of iron, and we also think that krill are limited by the availability of algae, then we aren't saying that krill are not limited by the availability of iron. They definitely are! But that limitation goes through the algae they depend on.
In the Julia world, we make redistributable binaries for all sorts of things; you can find lots of packages here [0], and for LLVM in particular (which Julia uses to do its codegen) you can find _just_ libLLVM.so (plus a few supporting files) here [1]. If you want a more fully-featured, batteries-included build of LLVM, check out this package [2].

When using these JLL packages from Julia, it will automatically download and load in dependencies, but if you're using it from some other system, you'll probably need to manually check out the `Project.toml` file and see what other JLL packages are listed as dependencies. As an example, `LLVM_full_jll` requires `Zlib_jll` [3], since we build with support for compressed ELF sections. As you may have guessed, you can get `Zlib_jll` from [4], and it thankfully does not have any transitive dependencies.

In the Julia world, we're typically concerned with dynamic linking, (we `dlopen()` and `dlsym()` our way into all our binary dependencies) so this may not meet all your needs, but I figured I'd give it a shout out as it is one of the easier ways to get some binaries; just `curl -L $url | tar -zxv` and you're done. Some larger packages like GTK need to have environment variables set to get them to work from strange locations like the user's home directory. We set those in Julia code when the package is loaded [5], so if you try to use a dependency like one of those, you're on your own to set whatever environment variables/configuration options are needed in order to make something work at an unusual location on disk. Luckily, LLVM (at least the way we use it, via `libLLVM.so`) doesn't require any such shenanigans.

the difference is that reviewing code after install is simpler than before install.

For review after install I install and fire up my IDE.

For review before install I have to manually download the package and figure out the dependency tree and do that for all packages.
I'm sympathetic to the view that "IBM is failing" lacks evidence, but trying to look at the evidence objectively, IBM doesn't seem to be doing well relative to the tech industry broadly. Their stock price is flat since 2000, while the SPY is up 5x. Their revenue is flat/decreasing since 2005 (as far back as I can find).

It's possible IBM never dies, or even never shrinks, but stays the same as the world grows around it. That seems like the same thing.

Remote worker and Vancouver resident here. Vancouver is the second most expensive city in the world, measured by cost of living to prevailing wage. Only Hong Kong scores higher.

If, like me, you work in tech with American funding, it's conceivable to have a "normal" life in the downtown core, including buying property. But everyone else is fleeing the downtown core, the Greater Vancouver Area, or even the entire province.

Anecdote: I know an arts administrator who moved to semi-rural Nova Scotia. She went from barely being able to afford a basement apartment to buying a pretty large house. It's pretty weird to imagine arts administration even being possible from a town in nowheresville... but the pandemic has created strange situations. She just flies into cities when she has an actual event or performance to manage.
Why is Excalidraw so slow?
I just got my first Mac ever: a MacBook Air M1. Coming from Arch I thought I would handle it easy. How bad can it be? It just works, right?… right?

So I wanted a laptop instead of a desktop computer and Framework isn’t available where I’m from so I went for the MacBook. In terms of performance, all is fine. Some OS based decisions make me want to put everything back into the packaging and send the thing back.

1) I might be alone with this but how is there no forward delete (del) button? I’ve never noticed but apparently I use it quite a lot. cmd + Backspace solves that.

2) The entire OS feels more trackpad-centric than other OS‘s I’ve used which confuses me. The gestures and the trackpad are top notch though.

3) I don’t understand the Option key. Overall the Command, Option and CTRL keys do weird things in my opinion and growing up with Windows and Linux, I don’t understand what command does either. Which leads me to…

4) The keyboard shortcuts feel complicated for the sake of complicatedness.

5) Why can I not click an app on the dock to minimise it into the dock?

6) The delete key, man.

This sounds negative but there’s a lot of positive stuff with that thing (I’m good with the display and keyboard, the battery life is crazy compared to laptops I’ve had before, …). I’m not sure yet if I want to learn a whole new OS though so I’m undecided if I want to keep it yet. The main downside of using Linux for me is Adobe (effing) Photoshop and Lightroom not working.
