Yeah, fuck that shit.
That sounds like AwesomeWM might be a good fit for you. A lot of the 'window manager' is essentially Lua, which doubles as the configuration language. If, upon pressing the F12 key, you want your windows to perform a choreographed dance before organizing themselves into neat rows ordered by name, it is the window manager for you. Since all the interesting parts are written in Lua, you can easily modify it to look and behave like anything reasonable - and most unreasonable things - you can come up with.

Alt-IJKL, when remapped at a low level like that, should behave exactly like arrow keys and combo with Ctrl/Shift like you would expect. You don't have to do anything extra.
In current capitalist societies, ownership of property is fully secured by the military (police) and judicial (law) power of the state. NFTs provide you with neither of these (not even copyright protection), so yes: there's no one stopping from doing a right-click on your image.

Maybe if everyone was really "believing" that ownership really originates from the Ethereum blockchain (just like beliving that strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is a basis for a system of government), then the ownership could be recognized socially without any coertion or violence. But so far the only people really beliving in this system of values are elites and crypto enthusiasts, so if you really are one of those people who want NFTs to be a basis for ownership, you've be better off pandering to the government to enact laws to arrest people for right-clicking.
Sort of, think image recognition based fish bots in WoW.

More recently in WoW classic I wrote a simple multi-boxing utility that let me play 5 characters at once using a combination of keystroke replication and repetition. Importantly I never used this in PVP. I used it in 5-man heroic dungeons (PVE) and eventually to see how far I could get in a 10 man raid (with 5 characters played by 1 person). Playing the game this way fundamentally changed the game, and it was probably the most fun I've had in any game ever.

I've never shared these hacks but regardless, public fish bots and multiboxing are/were common in wow and were always the least of Blizzards concerns. Look up "wow classic ban wave" for recent examples or the Blizzard vs. Glider suit I mentioned previously.

Maybe where I draw the line is that there are no victims with my hacks.
You don't ask why your uncouth friend makes antisemitic jokes at job interviews, you tell him not to do it.

Its excitingly easy to imagine a Ready Player One-like metaverse that could only exist thanks to NFTs. The set of iron plate iron I wear is expressed as a cryptographically-verifiable token within the game's world, which is itself powered by a connected network of peer-to-peer servers.

Don't imagine Fortnite. Imagine Counter Strike. Old Counter Strike, back in the day, when Valve never ran any servers, and you had your Favorites list of the best community servers, the same crowd of people showing up every evening to play. Thousands of these servers existed. Valve produced the game, and (most of) the code these servers ran. But, they were ultimately independent entities; many would re-skin players, or have custom weapons, or even custom physics engines.

These items were cool. But they were ephemeral; they didn't have any intrinsic value. So, Valve added Official weapon skins, and the Steam marketplace where they could be purchased and sold. They "christened" the providence of these digital items (and, of course, produced many of them).

Now, imagine Valve's christening of that item isn't necessary. The alternatives you outline look more like "how our world works today, with linear extrapolation". It's a recipe for further centralization of control into entities like Nintendo and Facebook. Yes, if Nintendo built a "metaverse" they'd run a MySQL database in a data center in Oregon that registered your ownership of some cool weapon skin; but what does a world look like where not only you and I can run servers for people to play on, independent of Nintendo, but where the concept of ownership of valuable digital items is still maintained, and a vibrant economy can exist in the exchange of these items?

Blockchain tech is truly a "have your cake and eat it too" situation in this regard. Valve's argument is that, yeah public servers are awesome, but their authority is necessary in this marketplace of weapon skins existing. Most gaming companies aren't even this open; their authority is necessary in both the marketplace, and servers (think: Fortnite). Blockchain tech says that none of that is necessary; the role of the game developer is to "set the stage".

This also has the potential to significantly change how developers are compensated. Valve takes XX% of every steam marketplace transaction (not to mention, the disgusting loot crate system they helped to pioneer). It's a tax on every transaction in the network, which acts as a negative force against usage of the network. Reframe this to the dev's only significant role being to "set the stage"; they invent the currency that is used to make these transactions, so their compensation is in owning a large amount of this currency (what they don't distribute). Now, their compensation is in growth-in-value of the currency; proof of stake! This is a positive force; their compensation goes up when more people value the currency.
The Atlanta Beltline is like this and it is crazy. I had some jerks tell me to "keep those kids on a leash" while they raced past us at 20 mph. I hope they fell down later.
Generics will be nice, and fuzzing is great too. I'm not a huge fan of Go itself, but it works well for my use case, websites and CLI tools. The integrated tooling (test, fuzz, race detector, benchmark, format, vet, package management, building) is very nice.
hm, I'll take a look at this. Thanks for reporting.
hmmmmm you may be onto something; the next time someone on my team starts quoting Kojima characters again, i'm just going to assume they're already choosing between offers at other companies haha
The Cryptanalyst Who Brought Down the Mob
Wow, this is such an eye opening post. Thank you. You specifically point out "rareness". I never considered how much of a draw is rareness to human beings. I admit that rareness is like catnip for my discovery-addicted science mind. ("How is that possible? What are the chances? etc.")

On YouTube, there is a whole category of silly (but fun) videos that are nothing more than incredibly rare events (some funny, some scary) being caught on film. Example: Freak waves

A more thoughtful version of this would be a "supercut" which was quite popular about 10 years ago. Someone with a LOT of free time would find a particular actor/actress or view or pose in 25 to 100 different films, then curate a very short, but impressive video.

Wider: Many of the posts you have made here today are very thoughtful. Keep up the good work! :)
It’s PJ Reddie after all, the YOLO guy.
What I do not understand from this conspiracies is why do "big pharma reason" also applies for China,India, Russia - I am sure China would prefer to have their citizens healthy and working so they would not suppress the miracle of some wonder-plant/pill/exercise to make rich some western companies and destroy their national economy.
Some actual pagination would be great (instead of just next / previous having page numbers)
"Only you have it. We definitely didn't copypaste the meshes and logic and sell it to somebody else because the idea of digital non-fungibility is a neat joke. We promise. BTW: when you buy this, our execs are buying Porsches and other things that are real. Cool, huh?"

This holds no water and the streak remains unbroken: nobody I've seen describe blockchain-fiddling with respect to games describes the process as anything that anyone who plays games wants. Nobody actually wants this except for the people who want to make everybody else play involuntarily into weird cryptocurrency schemes while the schemer still holds the bag.

Diablo could have individual uniques right now if they wanted and you could trade them if you wanted and nobody needs to burn a dumpster full of coal to do it. It is genuinely a social toxin and you should stop.
Then you weren't looking anywhere.
It needs to be a legal requirement with teeth: these tools would never be allowed through the app store approval process but that's not a problem as long as they're allowed to simply say you have to buy a laptop instead.

One alternate way to prevent this would be liability: if the institutions using this had to reimburse all of their users for every security hole in their mandatory software or the risk due to the security settings they require you to disable, it'd complete change the calculation for them.
Well, if you put up an online exam that consists of only basic multiple choice tests, then you're making it a lot easier to cheat. That's the source of a lot of the trouble.

I like the simplicity of your app, it just works!

I think you just need to add the title of the form, something like "Hadith Search" in h1 tag, just to make it more accessible
I checked the book's TOC and was surprised to see that lexical scoping was introduced in the last chapter.

https://github.com/alphapapa/emacs-package-dev-handbook#lexi... says using lexical scoping is a best practice.
What you're finding with A/B testing is local maximums. Which might make sense when your sole goal is squeezing a few more pennies out of a mundane business. But generalizing this to all of existence is sorely mistaken.

Asking "why" is the act of cognition. Discerning structure, compression, building a model (science). Then applying that model to new territory (ie engineering), to achieve better gains than undirected walk. Eschewing this is basically nihilism, and it's far too common these days.
I've had that book on my shelf for years, but have never found the motivation to read it until I read your comment, but now I'll be giving it a read ASAP. Thanks!

My wife has taught for 3 years at an online only state charter school (US). The single most difficult issue to solve (waste of time) is integration between foundation school management software such as Infinite Campus (where grades are kept) and third party learning packages (where assignments come from).
As a business, you can't avoid Google, or Facebook. Not having a presence on Google Maps/Google Search thing, or a page on Facebook, is severely limiting your reach

They also are terrible at how they treat your local machine. I had to use them for a course I was in. I was having issues connecting because they kept insisting I used some Flash based tool. Their proctor started going into various settings on my Mac, clicking rather carelessly and what seemed like at random then declared the platform was unsupported. I immediately said "ok, so now your going to return my machine back to the state that it was in before you started messing around..." They immediately dodged the question and ended the chat. It took 3 more attempts to even get the test started and like a week to find all the damage they did to my settings. Terrible company.

Betteridge's law of headlines say NO. It is just easier than ever to share and disseminate your lies. Plus, lots more people can agree with you.
The question is how will a group of people decide their own key performance measures. Different groups have different KPIs either intrinsically or some statistic, e.g. PDG, ESG indicators, Real return, etc.

If your only or main KPI ignores the social consequences , then you're doing it

But I get your point, it's a well known school of thought based on selfishness, I'd guess.

For the certification program at Redis University (https://university.redis.com/), we previously used ProctorU because that's what other folks were doing -- proctored exams for certification.

Buuut, after a while, we were like, why subject people to this? This is crazy. And why even charge for certs anyway? I'm happy we're done with proctoring!

Hello, everyone! Pranav Joglekar from India here. I'm looking for work in startups or small teams where I'll be constantly challenged and able to grow.
My projects and previous work, which is spread across several domains, demonstrates my enthusiasm for computer science as well as my ability to learn quickly. As an open-source contributor, I've worked in a remote team made up of people from all over the world. My projects and work have always been focused on the product, and I believe in understanding my code rather than simply copying it. I also enjoy teaching and am always willing to assist others in resolving their problems.
Apart from work, I like to read and play sports.
Are you talking about the U of Michigan graduate dorms? Those seem like a vastly different design and people have some thoughts on the whole windowless thing from COVID when they couldn't use the suite's common area.

For starters the units are much smaller and each suite of rooms has it's own little semi-public area instead of being a completely windowless block like his new design. The difference between the two is vast.

Yeast and flour were gone in the US as well (at least where I live).
I'm another reluctant ProctorU user, and using it thrust upon me if I wanted to complete my online master in CS. It's spyware, and it really is that awful. At least for my tests, it's required that you buy an external camera, and scan the entire room before taking the test, it records you the entire time, and runs in the background (and foreground) with system level privileges. Taking a test this way is very stressful this way, compared to just walking into a building with just a pen and your phone on silent.

Nearly every college student during the pandemic had to use ProctorU in order to complete their classes, or a similar alternative. Quite disturbing the experience is normalized, and I wish there were an official OS level feature for "report all activity on the system from time X to Y", without having to use a sketchy third party app.

I wish the author the best of luck fighting the requirement to use ProctorU.
> NFTs are selling a much more personal connection with the artist. Buying merchandise or subscribing to patreon is much more impersonal.

In what way? A ton of artists I know on Patreon are polling their contributors to get feedback, releasing early content to them, and releasing exclusive behind-the-scenes info or life updates.

What about an NFT provides more personal connection than ongoing support and communication with the artist?

----

And if Patreon isn't enough of a connection to your favorite artists, you can always directly commission them, which will give you a genuinely unique piece of artwork instead of just a serial number, designed in direct cooperation with the artist, that no one else owns, and that is uniquely tied to you in a fundamental way that can't be faked.

What about an NFT provides more personal connection than having direct creative input and a personal hand in the creation of a piece of artwork?

As a workaround, someone could buy a new laptop from a major retailer right before the exam, install the software, take the test, uninstall the software, then return the laptop for a refund.
This comes up repeatedly and I'd like to understand it better.

I recently spent days testing 'random' kernel parameters and config settings from various forums in a desperate attempt to get my Ryzen APU to run stably without tearing. I still can't get it to reliably wake from sleep.
You assume you would know the problem and that body language is truth.
I'd say it's a bit early in the morning to get worked up over something that as of yet took place only in our minds.
This is my first comment on this site after lurking for a few years, I thought I would add my personal experience using ProctorU and how weird it feels to willing give up my personal privacy to take a test online.

I go to UOPeople, which is a tuition free online school and I am getting a 4 year computer science degree (for like $5k which is crazy), anyway of the 40 courses you have to take only 11 are proctored. UOP offers 2 choices for proctoring, A) find a real life proctor, or B) use ProctorU. I don’t have the luxury of finding a real person + with covid its more unlikely, so ProctorU it is.

All in all its not the worst thing in the world, but when I first read the requirements for the ProctorU testing environment and technical requirements I almost quit school completely to look for alternative paths. Some of the crazy requirements include:
Testing space must have nothing on the walls, or floors.
You can’t wear glasses while taking the exam.
Your desk must be clear of everything besides the specific testing materials (calculator if your lucky, and maybe a pencil and paper)
Your device needs a webcam, so that they can not only watch you for the entire 1 hour and 30 minutes where you take a test that determines 40% of your grade, but also so that you can show them each wall, floor and under your desk. And thats just the physical space requirements. I had to empty my closet and use my laptop to take this test because their is no way I just have an extra room for testing…

The digital requirements were pretty intense as well, access to folders they had to right too, chrome settings and a whole bunch of wack stuff. I created a dummy account just to take tests.

When you go into the program they have you download it acts like a 1 way mirror, you can hear the proctor(if you are lucky to have a human proctor) and they can watch you, your screen and hear you. I had some tech issues once and I was grateful to have a proctor with a sense of humor who was able to help me through it. I can’t say my privacy is worth a cheaper degree, but I hope that this doesn’t become normalized, because it is not a pleasant experience.
There is nothing wrong with my research. I reported a fact. OP explains how NFT doesn't solve these problems. But it also confuses a lot of people about what it means to own something.
Also consider adding a label to your form input
NFTs are technically one of a kind too since they have an exact timestamp ordering creation. A second copy would have a different timestamp.
NFTs are based around the idea that you create a new cryptocurrency for each object you want to sell on a chain, for example Ethereum. When you do this "creation of a non-fungible token", your token gets an address that is essentially an "ID" for the token you've created.

Every token you create gets a unique ID, that only that token has.

So with that in mind, a NFT is as unique as a painting in your example, as a NFT is always "one of a kind".

It's pretty disgusting for me that things like racism, inclusivity, climate change, not being an asshole, etc. are considered to be left or right issues in the US. It's inherent to the stupid two party model, but it remains atrocious.
OK, Now I understand. And I can relate.

I only buy products from Multi Level Marketing companies. The sales people at MLMs are more friendly in comparison to just using a website like Amazon.com. Maybe that isn't useful to you, but to me it is. Therefor, MLMs are legit businesses and no one should ever criticize them.
Embrace, extend, extinguish... what? Desktop Linux marketshare is 1% at best.

Linux won on mobile (Android - 70%+), server (hard to say, maybe 90%?), cloud (same) and "big" embedded (have no idea, but it's used for most retail routers, various tools, etc), it can't be extinguished.

Maybe I am old or just tainted, but in my experience people have always lied as much as today. Basically as much as you get away with and then some.

Surely "online" makes it easier to vastly over act / lie in that specific "carefully curated window" (I like that expression, will steal it from you), but AFK people have not changed in my experience.
The reviews I saw all painted the lack if windows as a major negative. Something worth tolerating because of the building's central location. The residents who had to stay there during the pandemic, when communal areas were not so utilized, were even more critical, describing it as "depressing"
I suppose I'm extra paranoid because I have a dedicated (older) computer for courses that require some sort of installed software, including Zoom. I don't want my unmounted hard drives available to the software.
Cool. Then I’ll create Linux only applications and be compatible on both platforms. Bye bye to Win32, I guess.
