For years I've heard people recommend https://www.rtings.com for reviews. More recently, people pointed to this page showing which TVs don't serve ads: https://www.rtings.com/tv/tests/ads-in-smart-tv

If you want a dumb TV, you can look for commercial models (used for billboards), but it might be lacking basic features like more than one HDMI input or speakers.
It's not entirely unlikely that I am remembering just the good stuff :) But I was surprised how many books would define even the most common notation, like ⊂, ∀, and ∃.

I guess if you call your book "Introduction to..." you ought to do that. And it seems that all books were called that, regardless of how narrow and advanced the rest of the title was :)

C9 here. I never see any ads. Might be because I dug through every menu looking for things to opt-out of. I can’t use the voice control because I opted out of that. But, otherwise the WebOS experience is great.

Only complaint is that I can’t figure out how to disable “resume playing paused movie when the controller feels someone walking across the room”.

Condorcet methods perform, at best, only a little better than approval voting in computer simulations. And they have only ever been used in one US city (Marquette, MI) which shortly thereafter repealed it. And they are radically more complicated and unlikely to ever see the light of day.

This isn't the first time I've seen a vulnerability like this and it surprises me that people who make security focused software still have any of their features based on things like headers that are not trustworthy to begin with. If you can fake things like user agents, IPs, hostnames, etc., they shouldn't be relied on for security purposes.
Last spring I bought a "dumb TV" (very inexpensive) from Walmart that just has two inputs: HDMI and an antenna input. I plug in an Apple TV box via HDMI. I love this setup because of its simplicity and lack or Smart TV annoyances. My wife misses our expensive Samsung Smart TV that I gave away to a hiking buddy.
That’s great for you and I hope you find that but there’s an entire class of us who are sick of 1+ hour commutes, inane “water cooler” conversation that goes nowhere and just want to do work.

Work for me is not an extension of my social life, it is how I provide for my family and support my social life outside of work.

We’ve waited for ages for WFH to be normalized and I hope that this trend continues.
…the same kind of bitter pill the Green Party has to take whenever they are a minority partner in a State Government. Nothing new for both parties that they need to compromise - now, it’s new that they can act together on a lot of issues against a relatively smaller and potentially very weak third party. I know from first hand experience how deeply rooted the „law and order“ thought is within the Social Democratic Party, since I‘ve been running for office against one of their hard liners in 2013.

FWIW brave on mobile allows me to navigate websites without half the screen blocked by ads. Pages seem to load faster, battery life isn't randomly drained and helps avoid a lot of dark patterns found commonly on "news" websites.

I remember deciding to say “no problem” as a kid instead of “you’re welcome” because I didn’t want to sound entitled.

In the written (typed) world though, which gen z and millennials are the first to really be engrossed in, I suspect part of the change has been less grammatically inclined people refraining to type “you’re welcome” because they are tired of writing “your welcome” and being corrected.

Maybe, from the other side, I also stopped typing “you’re welcome” as a way to normalize other sayings as a way to not have to see as many “your welcomes” on the Internet.

Source: Editor for almost a decade. If you can’t tell, reading “your welcome” really grinds my gears.
Sunbeam is currently owned by Newell Brands (Carl Icahn) whose other brands include Coleman, Parker Pen, Calphalon, and First Alert.

They certainly don't need the money to kickstart a campaign, but it would be interesting to know if Kickstarter would entertain the idea of a subsidiary of Newell Brands running a marketing campaign on its platform.

Are there other large corporate brands that you know of that have launched marketing campaigns on KS?

This (beautifully written idea) may be the point, to me.

I Don’t like to work. I Like free time. But i know more than enough people who are just unable to stay still with themselves.

Could it be that society (by emergent behaviour) has actually turned up like this (with basically mandatory work and no free time) to cope with this necessity of most people to not be still?

Russel dismisses the possibility of this being the case, but it doesn’t feel completely far fetched to me.

In that case, it’s bad news for the ones who’d work less, because the ones willing to work more will always have more power- and they’re usually not afraid to use it…

For me, the fact that there are so many who really like git makes it worth recommending a cheat-sheet (or put up with it) for the rest, just to be compatible and have fewer tools to deal/learn with overall, but yes there are reasons some like svn, hg, or fossil. But there are also "got" (currently on openbsd at least) and other convenience tools.

I also found myself making myself a "gh" script to make finding/opening the right git manpage easier/quicker.

I always thought the UI of "git commit --interactive" was at a sweet spot of being both helpful and efficient, once I got familiar with it the first time. It is easier to remember than command-line options. Related UI details in another comment in this page.
It would be great to have something last so long.

But then the marketing team wouldn't be able to come up with a new redesign every 6 months.

And there would be less overall profit than building cheaper versions to fill our landfills with.

Which unfortunately means that this won't be realistic.

Shitty blogspam article that just copies the original video by Technology Connections
Wow. That php program is fast! I was skeptical for much the same reasons as the other commentators. But I took the rust version, packed the strings into u128, eliminated the allocations in the loop, --release, lto, codegen-units=1, target-cpu=native (basically all the tricks to make it fast). I tried FxHashMap, AHashMap, and hashbrown, but they didn't make much difference with the other optimizations (and FxHashMap was significantly slower).

Even with all that, the php version was still 2x faster. And it truly is due to the hashtable implementation itself.

On AWS, I always now use Amazon's Linux distro. They also maintain their own version of OpenJDK.

December 2018 snapshot refers to Department of Transport: https://web.archive.org/web/20181227091013/http://charts.dft....

The CNAME of charts.dft.gov.uk.s3-website-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com still works, but the reverse DNS of that IP is simply s3-website-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com: I am not sure how does one gain control of an s3-website subdomain when "abandoned" (bucket name only?), but someone did.

So the scenario someone described below is pretty likely: DoT drops it, and drops AWS use of the name, but leaves the DNS record in. I wouldn't attribute this to anyone in the DoT.

It would still require intentional action to do so, though, so I wonder if anyone has any clue how do people find out about spurious, unused S3 subdomains that still have DNS pointing at them? Scan the entire internet for domains pointing to s3-website, and check AWS API to see if it's available? Or did someone run into this by accident and decided to poke fun at it while earning some cash along the way?
Nice. Link to the whitepaper: https://bahruz.me/papers/ccs2021treqs.pdf

I only skimmed very quickly to look for which server setups they found new vulnerabilities for, and it looked like they tested a 2D matrix of popular webservers/caches/reverse-proxies with each other? Which is neat for automation, but in the real world I'm not usually going to be running haproxy behind nginx or vice versa. I'd be much more interested in findings for popular webserver->appserver setups, e.g., nginx in front of gunicorn/django.

I'm a so called semi-pro jazz bassist. During the pandemic, some friends invited me to join an online jam using Jamulus. So I learned some things.

I don't think that "latency" boils down to a single dimension, because there are multiple competing latencies when you play music. It's a complicated feedback loop with multiple input and output channels.

I think how well it works depends on being able to isolate the acoustic sound of your instrument from what's coming through your headphones. Your brain will prioritize whatever comes first, so if you can hear your own acoustic sound against the delayed sound of the band, you will instinctively slow down, and a band allowed to do this will grind to a halt. [0]

Electric instruments are easy, because they have little or no acoustic sound. I found it much easier to play solid body electric bass than double bass, though double bass is my main instrument. My hands adapted to the latency, as they do anyway because each instrument has inherent latency.

Winds and voice are difficult, because you hear yourself through bone conduction. Drums are hard to isolate with headphones. But people tend to (mistakenly) get the time from the drummer.

It fell to the electric instruments to "drive" the band. That was profoundly fatiguing. When I tried to take a solo, the band would get lost. And my solos can be blatantly rhythmic if I need them to be.

This is compounded by the fact that a lot of musicians are not techies, so the explanations about how they have to play differently, and work with the technology, goes over their heads.

[0] Imagine playing at 120 beats per minute, which is 500 ms per beat, with 30 ms latency. That's like 6% per beat. So while everybody says that 30 ms is pretty good, that much latency with the feedback loop described above will cause the band to lose tempo by 6% per beat. And 120 is a relatively stately tempo if you like "hot" jazz.

Ideas to get out of The Matrix:

* Hire 2 people for 1 job, each working 20 hours per week

* By law, ensure that workers keep the lion's share (50% or more) of whatever value they produce

* Outlaw all company shares besides common stock

* Use nonlinear voting shares: weight shares by value produced, tenure, etc instead of 1 share 1 vote

* Make government tax on individuals less than 50%

* Make all net income taxed the same, under the same tax brackets, even gifts/inheritance (50% by the $250-400,000 range)

* Provide universal basic income (UBI) via the 50% tax from the wealthiest individuals

* Tax all assets/investments the same as property tax on homes (as dollars or percent of shares)

* Make all tax writeoffs rates the same, regardless of type (remove the 6000 pound minimum on work vehicles, etc)

* Make companies pay or otherwise be responsible for their own externalities (pollution)

* Set tarrifs equal to the externalities (pollution, withheld wages, etc) not paid by companies in other countries

* Measure policy outcomes by median improvement, not mean (to act against wealth inequality)

* Make all debts dischargeable in bankruptcy (don't single out student loans)

* Make hazard pay N>=1 years of wages to next of kin upon death, and M>=50% of wages upon injury (all jobs, even military)

* Keep debts like hazard pay on an individual's credit score for 7 years, even if the company they owned declared bankruptcy

* Allow people to borrow against money legally owed to them (debts, alimony, liens, reparations, etc)

* Ban discrimination in lending (proof of unfairly denied loan reduces bank's leverage limit by amount of loan)

* Ban tax breaks nationally for companies moving to cities or states

* Remove the corporate veil (companies aren't people, make individuals on the board responsible for the company's actions)

* Provide guaranteed jobs, with the government as employer of last resort
Texas also has high property taxes and Houston has very lax zoning regulations, both things designed to prevent real estate speculation.
The article title seems to suggest something sinister but I am not sure there was anything sinister here after reading all that.

> There was no evidence the Kremers and the other rally organizers encouraged or planned violence in the group-text messages reviewed by Rolling Stone.

Okay. So is this any different from people using Telegram to plan BLM protests or other events and wanting to stay anonymous?

> However, critics have argued that Trump and the leaders who encouraged thousands of his supporters to come to Washington as the vote was certified deserve some blame for the violence because of their pre-Jan. 6 rhetoric and the fiery content of the former president’s speech at the Ellipse rally.

Yes and what’s wrong with Trump holding a rally? Tens of thousands went to DC that day (the permits for the event anticipated 30,000), several thousand (close to 10,000) marched from the rally to the Capitol, and only around 500 entered the Capitol grounds, most of whom didn’t do anything more than trespassing. As for Trump’s speech - he didn’t incite any violence in it. In fact the transcript shows he literally called for a “peaceful” march to the Capitol from the rally.
> Emergency and catastrophe planning has to happen at the national level. I would like to see more leaders (especially these days) come into office with ideas about how to recover from catastrophic events quickly.

Me too. I'm hoping we'll get lucky and a relatively small-scale catastrophic event will occur, demonstrating to us how ill prepared we are both materially and socially/culturally/cognitively/etc, and that lesson will provide the incentive for us to launch a serious project to get our act cleaned up.

And in the event that no political leaders rise to the occasion, I am hoping that normal civilians realize there is a problem and begin seriously discussing the risks we are running, perhaps eventually leading to some sort of a plan that our leaders do not have the ability to formulate, or perhaps even realize we need.

You may not realize that in a given field, the same variable that represents the same basic thing may be negated depending on the part of the world the paper is published from. This can be fine, if it’s your subfield, you happen to know to be careful with said variable. I don’t personally dig into a lot of disperate maths in different papers very often, but this is the single biggest complaint my polyglot friend talks about. The second biggest is when he has to read and parse the math from a dozen unrelated papers in a field to find out what some random undefined variable means in the actual paper he cares about.

As for battery, they would only need to sample a second every few minutes, to see if there was a beacon afoot, quick DFFT, and they wouldn't need to analyze much.

I would guess that a lot of the slowness is not from PHP itself, but the way your specific projects are using it. With the vanilla PHP project, the slow down may be caused by poor design decisions from other developers.

With Drupal, the code quality of the core is generally okay, however the added inertia may come from a "square peg, round hole" situation, where the CMS is being used for an obscure purpose for which it wasn't really designed. This is quite common in the wild, probably due to the low barrier to entry and the fact that people will use what they are comfortable with to solve every problem under the sun (not dissimilar to the prevalence of Excel throughout the world of finance for a variety of completely inappropriate use cases).
