I want to be totally clear - I don’t think “they feel pity for, not put them at their level”. That’s not what I was trying to say.

Every white leader I’ve met have given me opportunities and often their higher ups are not white. The problem is the corporate HR wokeness and their agenda feels condescending to me. That’s the distinction I want to clarify.

I'm still looking for the library solution that doesn't mess with whatever file/folder arrangement I choose. I find it very odd that this seems to be such a difficult deal to do in the ebook space, considering the vast array of picture/video and music managers that seem to have no problem with this.

How long is a single Linux version supported? My 12+-year-old laptop currently runs latest Debian, and I don't expect that it's support will end soon. Why would the phones be different? The whole point of L5 and PP is that they are like desktops running desktop OS. Even old Raspberry Pis can serve for good today. The Moor's law is gone.

> How many years of “lifetime” do you realistically expect out of the slow Pinephone or Librem 5 hardware?

I expect >10 years. Why do I have to change my phones every 3 years and multiply e-waste? The phones (especially L5) can do practically everything, except heavy calculations. They can also serve as thin clients for the latter. Much older Linux phone OpenMoko is still supported, and there is a community for it.

> how is using old weak hardware and selling it as a new smartphone of all electronics not obviously planned obsolescence?

It sort of is, but it's due to the lack of modern free-software-supporting vendors. By buying these two phones, you vote for such hardware with your wallet (I did).
I don't think they will build censorship into the browser. I guess you can worry about that if and when it happens, not before.

Until you get inside a city traffic jam, and then it becomes an acoustic indicator of something you already know: every square centimeter around you is covered by a car or a motorbike.

I'm a skeptical horns help with anything in modern Indian city traffic, but on the highway they can be quite useful, if annoying, especially on mountainous road when you don't have a good line of sight, but even just on a normal road with drivers who don't look on their rear-view mirrors.
I think in almost all cases that would not cause a crash. The drivers would see the oncoming traffic and stop rather than crash.
let's see what they actually ship, if ever.
Twitter made me feel: some combination of violated, indignant, numb, inferior, empty, powerless, disappointed, embarassed, furious, annoyed, and infuriated.

“eradicating”, and that's still wrong because influenza A has nonhuman reservoir populations, and anti-COVID measure may reduce spread in the human population but they aren't going to eliminate the reservoirs.

In France drivers will flash their lights to warn you of police speed traps or other checks. (It's quite common for French police to stop and breathalyse all drivers on some rural road, especially on Sunday afternoons.)

It doesn't as long as you handle the HTTP->HTTPS redirect on your proxy (NGINX, Apache, Caddy or similar) and don't pass any of these requests to your backend.
Well to be fair, good management should be practically invisible. It shouldn't be much of a factor in your day to day work. They should be overseeing larger trends, gently nudging things to stay on course, talking with others to coordinate, etc.

I have reasonably decent leadership where I work, and the only times I have much contact outside of my direct reporting line is when something has gone (or might go) seriously wrong. Outside of that, I'm given direction, expected to execute, and left to get on with it as I touch base every few days.

Yes, but that would be 7px-wide font. Even in 80s the default VGA font was 9px-wide and that was considered important improvement over EGA 8px-wide. And that was on monitors with lower DPI that is common on 1920x1080, so i would assume that 10px-wide is minimal ergonomical size for many people (on standard 96 DPI).

> Setting up your own git server is not hard

Bullshit. Getting it set up in a secure and public way is an order of magnitude or two more difficult than it would need to be for mass use which is what we're talking about here.

When you have a situation where a the vast majority of people find something too difficult, the problem (from the perspective of actually getting it happen) is not the people the problem is with the proposed solution.

> There are also multiple solutions

Multiple solutions does not generally make things easier/better even if it's desirable for other reasons.
Which countries are those? China, where it's been outlawed? Is the value mostly in the laws being easier to circumvent?
I'd like to see a way out of the chilling-effect that current copyright law has. Maybe a strong safe-harbor provision for individuals acting as individuals?
Add in a minimum processing fee of $20, or a minimum valuation.

The point is to make the cost of retaining a copyright over time non-zero and subject to tax, so people aren't incentivized to retain copyright on everything for no cost.

The other day I was watching a news video on advancement on battery tech, two seperate companies, both had indian ceo

I guess it just worked out for them, or perhaps we notice them more because they stick out? isn't there like a name for this effect?
I added a reference to my original comment. Maybe its what youre looking for.

But otherwise i dont really know honestly what the risks are but i wouldnt say for a young healthy person its at 3-4 percent of dying. For context I have had covid and a high fever and mild pneumonia during it so I have some idea.

FWIW I would definitely recommend the get vaccinated (two shots maybe even a booster) and then getting covid as its a safer strategy. But yeah youre not going to get immunity otherwise is all I am saying.
I recently heard a podcast with the CEO of MidAmerican (based in Iowa). They had materially colder temperatures than TX and operated 91% of their wind capacity. There's nothing inherent in wind that keeps it from operating in cold weather.

(MidAmerican did pay extra for winterization, so you can maybe make the argument that it wasn't worth it for TX to have done the same, given the risk profile.)
At the bottom of their site, they have about 30 open full time positions, including Sales, Legal, and Finance. Seems strange for a 25 year old media player. Did they just close a big funding round or something?
Yes, that's why I am treating that comment as an official response.
They could have ended up on that list with Dorsey in charge anyway.
I like it and immediately see a secondary use-case... the purchase of cameras and lenses for home broadcast studios and the upper end of vloggers and video conferencing.

Meaning... OK, so you're going with a Sony and you want a prime lens and you'll be x distance from the camera and want to be frame with head and shoulders... which prime lens is the one you should choose?

For a single camera + lens you'd probably experiment and a shop can rent you variations. But as soon as you're into the "I'm setting up a home studio and need several cameras" then you'd want to spend less time experimenting and get closer to the final configuration on the first pass, i.e. to use a tool to help get it right first time.
Going from cash to crypto is pretty expensive I think. I tried to do a large transaction thought crypto might work but it was going to be a couple hundred just to convert it
More or less.

You are built up of many feedback systems trying to achieve some stable or metastable state.

Without knowing the exact mechanism, the hypothesis goes something like this: your immune system has an internal variable "activity", and given long periods of nothing to do, it will ramp up its sensitivity until it finds something to do -- and you develop an autoimmune disease ranging from environmental allergies (reacting to things which aren't threats) to one of many where the immune system attacks your own tissues. The actual mechanism likely more complex than a single variable thermostat, but that's the general idea.

So yes, challenging your immune system from time to time by giving it a disease or two to fight off might indeed be "good for you".
Sounds like you had the political/current events Twitter experience. It's pretty much tailor-made to evoke all of those emotions.
An allow-list feature would get me to let my kids on Youtube (despite the ads—it'd be really convenient to be able to just use the site/apps) rather than YouTube-dl-ing the videos. Even just a channel allow-list would be huge, but also being able to allow individual videos would be nice, too.

Of course, parents have been asking for this instead of the shitty "YouTube kids" garbage for... ever? Basically? So clearly Google just doesn't want to do it, for whatever reason. Probably doesn't let them extract as much money from advertising to kids, somehow.

Oh super late reply, but yes my photo is on my passport, no I didn't have to give fingerprints and I live in Germany, which has a rather tight view on such surveillance given their history..

I would refuse to give fingerprints, if asked, unless compelled to by a court. Same for my children.
It's probably going to change as they get more cars, more highways and better driver educations. It's probably going to take decades.
I think conversely Twitter is the only one that is immune.
While this is clearly not from the 90ies, it reminded me of the first website I have ever visited, as a kid on my uncle's Windows 95 machine. I had read about this Internet thing in the German Micky Mouse magazine, and naturally, this was the first (and only) site I tried (this version is from 99, but it looked similar around 1996).

Are people really using the term 'activist investors' unironically?
I used to feel that way, but I aggressively moderated who I follow in a purge, and being selective about who I add as follows.

It feels like it's easier to marie-kondo people I don't care for anymore in twitter since there's little-to-no-expectation that I know anyone on twitter, and for me, anyways, twitter is a much more pleasant experience than any other social network has been.
How to Remove Duplicate Records from 1B records without any Index in MySQL?
Agreed - I think using copyright fees to pay for these goals would be idea.

Additionally, making sure that archival copies are kept when a copyright is registered, so we don't lose works over time would be a great idea.

The US patent system previously required a working model and diagrams to be submitted to prevent knowledge loss - this would extend that to cultural works.
The stock is down for the day at the moment. I wonder if all comments rationalizing the (very) brief 10% up will rethink their arguments.

Which itself is pretty meaningless considering almost no one bottlenecks on their reverse proxy.
If you’re only serving up heavyweight web apps, then this is probably true.

But Caddy also markets itself as an efficient static file webserver right on the home page:

> Caddy is both a flexible, efficient static file server and a powerful, scalable reverse proxy.

Perhaps the confusing part is the way that Caddy is marketed as “The Ultimate Server” when instead it’s designed to be a fast-enough reverse proxy for applications where performance doesn’t matter. There are many applications where performance really does matter. Static file serving is the most obvious example.
Microsoft Considers Creating a Shopify Competitor
Money isn't their issue. They get $500M/yr from Google, the question is whether they will spend any extra money in a meaningful way. I don't think more developers or whatever will change their course. FYI, donations go to the Mozilla Foundation (which does not work on Firefox) and into pockets of the execs.
It's been a while since I've listened to something on librivox. When I did, it was hit or miss in terms of narrator quality (as you'd expect from a volunteer-led initiative). If you have access to something like Overdrive or Libby through your public library, I'd check there first. You'll probably be more satisfied with a professionally recorded audiobook.
I don't know of anyone arguing that old people should die. However, just because old people die doesn't mean you get to take away the rights of the rest of the population.
> As a result the chain is so centralized it actually went offline for a day

While the post-mortem [1] is lacking (mostly in terms of follow-up), my read was that the network was simply overloaded to the point where validators were crashing, not that some critical centralized component went down. I'd imagine there's similar DoS attacks one could execute against the older chains (but probably much harder to find given their maturity).

I suppose if you wanted to make an argument against decentralization on Solana it would be that it seems low-probability near-term that there would ever be an alternative validator implementation due to the complexity of Solana and VC-funded nature of the main one (it could always be forked though, I suppose).

It all started with me trying to bring into the spotlight my then photo viewer app. I created a way to animate between the photos in an album. People started to react positively to that (duh!).

So I improved on the animations. Added more ways to animate... After roughly 2 months I realized this trumped everything else. So I decided to create a video editor. That was more than 3 years ago.

Added more animations, added videos, effects, transitions. Talked to people to understand their pain points... Analyzed other editors for inspiration, spiced it all with a lot of my ideas...

Worked on it non-stop, a lot of crazy hours, a LOT of time spent on optimizations, a lot of time spent on dealing with stupid Microsoft APIs. Luckily, I wasn't alone -- my two dogs have been my emotional support through all the ups and downs (https://www.tiktok.com/@lupiandbelasuperstars/video/69959083...). I love them more than I can express into words -- and of course, a lot of the money I make will be spent on treats and toys, and just making sure those tails never stop moving ;)

Finally, I'm happy with the result, and I'd like to share it with you guys!

Obviously, there's a discount - 40% OFF , it will last until Sun 5th of December.

The automatic HTTPS feature of Caddy is a game changer. I enabled it once on a server five years ago and never had to take a second look. I am surprised that this is not a standard feature of all web servers. There is no way I am fighting with certbot (or whatever the recommended software is) anymore.

That being said, the rest of the software is not as amazing. Please nginx, could you add automatic HTTPS so I can ditch Caddy?
May I ask why you used it then?
That was Instagram for me. Twitter has been much less frustating and mucho mire useful for me.
Fascinating. Thank you.

It is extremely hard for me to even _imagine_ this, as apparently my native accents both contain this merger. This is a rare experience for me, but a previous occurrence was discussing the rhotic-R phenomenon.
The issue with Dorsey is that he acknowledges how toxic Twitter is, but has no idea how to fix it nor did he seem ready to do so, and this made investors very nervous.

See his recent interview on CNN : https://www.facebook.com/cnn/videos/2100868666791589/
You're being unduly defensive. mholt is telling you that he can't provide meaningful general purpose performance numbers because the breadth of cases for Caddy vary too widely, so he's asking you for information about your specific use case so he can give you the very information you're complaining about not being able to access, but you're being cagey about sharing those requirements.

You're certainly within your rights to not use Caddy, but it makes no sense to complain that you can't get the performance information you need when you won't share any information about your use case.
> So, maybe everyone with crypto should, instead of convening to buy the constitution or a basketball team, go fund the takeover and conversion of an entire grid to clean energy, and build all the miners there.

Agreed.

> That said, if it gets big and the miners are consuming enough production of solar panels and wind turbines to slow clean energy buildout on other grids, that's the second order of the same problem.

True, but even that's not zero-sum: demand drives investment in production which increases supply leading to commoditization. Commoditization, in turn, makes the solution (solar, wind components) more accessible to a broader range of the economy.

GPUs for machine learning wouldn't be where they are today if it wasn't for gamers creating a demand floor that subsidized the research into better hardware.

VIM people are very bad at explaining this. Basically, VIM allows you to compose commands together, so that learning one command means that you can compose it with another to do things very quickly.

The best example is this, imo. you have a function call that is: `combineFirstAndLastName("John", "Smith")`

If your cursor is in the `"John"` part, and you want to change that, you can just input `ci"`, (c)hange (i)nside ("), to instantly start typing with John being removed. Lets say you want to change all the text inside the parenthesis, you just type ci), (c)hange (i)nside `)`.

There's commands like this all over, and you can compose all of them. For example, `ct"`, (c)hange un(t)ill ("), which will erase any text until the next available `"` on the line.

Or, (d)elete un(t)ill `char`. It's a whole language when you're editing with VIM, and while it might sound like that's very hard to learn, it's not. Because you can slowly add these verbs and sentences into your habits until it's completely natural
The only issue with this is you create your own echo chamber. imo it's why conservatives feel so emboldened, recently -- they have surrounded themselves with people who agree with them making their "movement" seem larger than it actually is.

I came to VSCode from TextMate, so my expectations were minimal, but I can’t think of anything more to wish for from its completion and auto-imports. I’m generally using it for TypeScript which is probably its strongest use case. But even untyped JavaScript is pretty good: local type inference is alright, JSDoc types nearly on par with TS, automatic type acquisition for dependencies is better than manual installation in TS.

That said, it’s been years since I tried IntelliJ. Am I missing some significant productivity improvement, for TS/JS development?

It keeps increasing (exponentially slower, thus with a finite total depth) even without any other chemical.

Anyway, out on the world there are many chemicals that can make it deeper, can peel it from the metal so another layer forms, or can mix with it and make it less insulating. I would be surprised if loses are as low as 1% as people point on this thread, but shouldn't be very large either.
You can still do all of these things. JavaScript isn’t the problem.

Your issue is more that there’s no longer any standardization of the web and the surface area to which sites are designed have increased drastically.

One could still make a site today that can do everything you’re describing
