I hope one day that I can statically link against my libc easily one day. Not just statically link but even LTO my libc into my binary. I understand the "security" concerns, but I feel there are cases where they don't matter.

Case in point; my C compiler. It already was not designed to handle untrusted input well enough and I plan to run multiple instances in parallel, so my kernel should handle COW.
Ugly - probably but they are rather clever in my opinion. They are modular and can be deployed by one bod nearly anywhere.

I have no idea what windbreaks and faux wotsits are let alone "decorative" means. I'm a bodger/Engineer.

If you need to stop a vast amount of stuff moving from A to B then gabions are a very decent solution with the added bonus that you don't need to be an Engineer. Civilians will generally get it right first time just by looking at the problem.
It is not possible to mention Israel in any manner other than positive. All I said was Israel is a protected topic, and look at the controversy of that and the down votes, proving my point.

There are flags for this. There is a flag to toggle “Microsoft Edge scrolling personality” in Edge and there is a flag to toggle smooth scrolling overall.
You’re right, and I have no idea. I hope that gets fixed for you!

My main issue is a bug that was introduced a few versions ago — if “Grids in Back” is turned on, the entire app crawls and is completely unusable. Like, multi-second delays between clicks. Having grids on and in the background is entirely how I used to work. Now I can’t.
Well here's one study that doesn't tell a great story for recently double vaxxed.
As a robotics platform, there's nothing inherently weaponizable about quadrupedal locomotion over, say, a quadcopter. Weaponizing this system would be almost as difficult as developing and then weaponizing the system.

While new discoveries of biological function are fascinating, I don't think it follows that we are overturning the idea of junk DNA (however the phrase was coined). More likely we are converging towards an understanding where most of the genome really is non-functional. Here's a recent accounting [1] of known function suggesting 90% is junk. I wonder how much this differs from our understanding of decades ago, it really may not have changed much at least in terms of broad accounting. Now the potential significance of those little fractional bits of recently uncovered function, well that's a different discussion and more aligned with the original article, which I don't think mentioned junk anyway.

The problem is that on the one hand they want to enable USB-c to be low cost and universal for all devices. But on the other hand you want USB-C to support 100W and 240W charging but it’s not cost effective to put enough copper to carry 100-240W in your average low cost phone cable.

So the cable needs something active to indicate it’s capability. So you don’t melt it.
Unfortunately most OSes ship their system call interface alongside the “userspace” parts of libc, so you can’t really pick and choose between the two :(

How does this relate to MIT's mini-cheetah(1)? A quick search didn't turn up any plans/code for the cheetah except some simulator software(2). Is this an open source 'work-alike' ?

People flocked from Netscape to IE because it was better.
People flocked from IE to Phoenix/early Firefox because it was better.
People flocked from Firefox to Chrome because it was better.
People aren't flocking from Chrome back to Firefox because Firefox has gotten worse while Chrome has gotten better.

Why would I use something that most of the web doesn't support, is full of crapvertising, doesn't work seamlessly with my other Google services and Android, and on top of that, gets worse every year?

I opened it just now, just for kicks, and it's begging me to pin itself to my taskbar (even though I'm on a Mac). And the tab right behind the modal popup is a bigass advertising for some Mozilla VPN product. The New Tab below that is a grid of six more ads from something called Pocket.

How the hell did it get so bad? At this point I'd rather just see Firefox die entirely, or be made into another Chromium reskin. It's just malware these days.

True, but Windows 11 did not ship without a text editor in October. It shipped with the old version of Notepad.
It is odd that you can't force stereo though.

I'd guess that most people use the builtin TV speakers, then soundbars (which are barely surround at all despite the marketing claims) second, and proper surround a very distant third.

So it's surprising that they don't cater to what is the most common output format.

I guess the app just works on whatever the PS4 has set as max capability on startup, which unfortunately for you is 5.1 or 7.1 because it's going out via HDMI.

Pity ps4 slim doesn't have spdif out, in that case you could have used that and set to PCM output which would force stereo.

I just read that ps4 supports usb soundcards, maybe you could buy a cheap stereo soundcard and use that to force stereo. Don't know though because all the cheap ones that I've seen tout virtual surround "3D audio" as a feature, so who knows if that would work.

All this whizz-bang technology and you can't just set it to default to use only the number of speakers that you actually have...
If you're using proxy NDP then you don't have "more than enough" IP space for what you're doing. You have none and you're hacking up a workaround -- one that's inevitably going to have people coming away thinking "v6 is hard" rather than putting the blame where it deserves to be.

old school media feels like its on its way out. which happens right? new ways of consuming content will almost always take a longer mind share than previous technology if the newer technology offers added value.

like radio is big, but before tv ad def before streaming it was king, now it is just something you listen to when you don't have internet access or are trying to listen to a certain show that is only found on the radio (very rare this days considering most radio broadcast can be streamed these days anyways).

a smart move would be to eventually move all broadcast online, like have backup communications (analog) for emergency situations but at this point it is almost a waste of bandwidth broadcasting local tv and radio channels. if that spectrum was reclaimed by internet providers we could fix the remote areas where internet is scarce, something we has seen is a must considering how many people are still doing remote learning because of the pandemic.

anyways that was a bunny trail, newspapers are great but realistically they waste a lot of paper and online is good enough, most people do not flip through newspapers anymore, it just a waste of resources in all actuality. i get why big media is kicking and screaming, but one could argue that its better to evolve than do business as usual.

if you are like me, we knew this was coming, we were the geeky people into technology when others were saying "what's the internet gonna be good for anyways?" we were in chat rooms building bots and talking to people from new york to people in uni in amsterdam, tokyo, auckland etc. they had an opportunity to listen and evolve with the times, not sticking up for google and facebook but there was def an opportunity for old school media to embrace a new model and they dragged their feet.

"stop slipping on pimpin'" is a street term similar to, "you snooze, you loose"

> Simple Mobile Tools

For anyone who hasn't seen these, I recommend them as well. The default calculator works fine for me, but "Simple File Manager" and "Simple Gallery Pro" are fantastic apps that strip out the typical cruft of these tools, and unlike some alternatives (looking at you, Amaze), have no tracking scripts or nag screens.

State actors already have the weapons, so it is not complicated to attach those to a tool capable of ferrying them over rugged terrain, with long battery life, and into hiding places of human opponends. Just as they attached them to drones, cars, and other gear. What guarantees that the biggest use cases and the most motivated users of this technology are not deadly? Maybe license?

Agreed. The parent talks about IVF and fertility treatment, which I support. But I think it would be interesting to explore social programs that provide an easier path to having kids earlier, rather than just deal with the fallout of delaying it. I have no idea what this would look like, but it's a good conversation to have. How - in a way that doesn't provide the wrong incentives or penalize people who make different choices, can we remove the downside of having kids in say late twenties?
They added much more whitespace. In line with modern UI fashion trends.

Please can we stop this trend? It's ridiculous. It universally makes the user experience worse by reducing the effective screen real estate for actual work. Nobody cares about the aesthetic, they get used to it after a few session.
The calculator app opens instantly for me. Maybe something funky is going on?
The Windows 10 version of Notepad already has a Search with Bing feature in the edit menu with keyboard shortcut Control-E. However, it does respect the default browser choice.
> it's not a viable business model on its own

Do you mean not a viable VC-funded business, or not viable at all? From context, I think you mean the former. But there are plenty of "traditional" businesses (e.g. clubs and radios) that make a living through discovery.

Maybe the problem is VC funding then? Maybe one day we will hear of some bootstrapped strartup coming out of IndieHackers?
Ok so here's the deal, although this is sort of well written-ish.

There is absolutely no surprise waiting for us in COTS, phony 4GLs that purport to "solve a problem".
I mean really? The fact that people still huck these tools means the software business might not be dead. Now if you work for a company that buys these things, I hope your not in tech. Because these fool things which are "container engines for consultants", will cost you a ton of money.

Maybe you prefer it that way?, its your money. The technical argument which sort of tried to make some point relative to event driven architecture was pretty obviously weak. Whether or not I personally agree with that architecture, I think that there could be arguments made there.

But we have MUCH bigger problems in tech. Some of them we cant talk about openly.
Like labor sourcing and scrum. So we may have people problems folks.

Let tool salesmen do their jobs and tend your own field and your own flock.
I am aware of these, yeah - "Microsoft Edge scrolling personality" is only for touch scrolling gestures as far as I can tell, it doesn't affect scroll wheel scrolling for me.

> A bit OT, but how does 4x10 work for developers? I feel like realistically no one can write code for 8 hours a day anyway, so what does a 10 hour day look like?

I've been doing it for nearly 4 years, and it works great for me. The third day of rest is worth its weight in gold, and, on the very rare occasion I do a normal 5x8, I always feel much more drained when I come back.

From a work perspective, I can do 10 hour days of coding without too much of a hassle, but I have a lot of things that pull me away from it: lunch, drink breaks, standup, 1-2 hours a day for meetings (sometimes more, usually lower-bounded), writing documentation, doing code reviews, responding to queries on slack, doing some git archaeology, etc. There's a lot more to the job than just writing code.
Re ECC and RSA: they rely on different classes of math problems, allowing for equivalent strengths with differing key sizes. ECC sizes are generally smaller, but that’s not the whole story, since some aspects of ECC allow for interesting attacks to which RSA, based on a much simpler problem, is not subject.

See [1], e.g. In security, simplicity is often but not always by itself a win.

> The algorithms are good at guessing that if I like the Zombies, I'll like the Turtles (which is true) but it never jumps to (for instance) current, contemporary indie/DIY stuff that is influenced by '60s rock and '70s punk. I make those associations all the time. Indie/college radio DJs do it all the time, but Spotify never does.

Last.fm is really good about this. I can't stand Spotify recommendations in comparison because of this exact problem.

I'm perfectly capable of Googling "bands like X" and gleaning a surface-level idea of similar artists, which seems to be the extent of Spotify recommendations. Meanwhile, Last.fm is programmed well enough that it goes beyond the surface-level recommendations, and finds things I would never have found otherwise. I'm talking about bands and side-projects that broke up 30 years ago and only released a demo tape, but that demo tape is gold to fans of band X.
This exact situation keeps me up at night.

I think the best we could hope for is maybe being able to drill into the liquid helium tank and refill it - which is the ultimate determinate of its useful lifetime (that and propellant, but I'm led to believe the liquid helium will run out first).

Probably a moot point though: by the time we can get people out to do such an operation, I suspect a reduction in launch costs might lead to a much cheaper space telescope you could just drop off instead.
Did you have a professional install a dimmer switch, connect your gas stove, install your washer drain, change your flat tire? Where does it end? Not everything needs to be done by a credentialed professional. The average bridge is a relatively simple I-beam and footing structure spanning a stream or similiar and is not deserving of more than the "plug your max load in here and consult the table in appendix A for footings" treatment that similiar structures get.

I think our world views diverge irreconcilably.

The entire point of blameless postmortems is acknowledging that the mere existence of an outage does not inherently reflect on the performance of the people involved. This allows you to instead focus on building resilient systems that avoid the possibility of accidental outages in the first place.

It's either follow China's rules or get kicked out of China. Even if the CCP is inherently evil, staying in the country gives Apple more leverage. The other option is to completely walk away from the bargaining table and gain zero dollars in profit.
Apple is entirely, completely, totally dependent upon Chinese manufacturing to continue existing as we know it.

They assemble a tiny fraction of iPhones in India and computers in Texas, but the vast, vast majority of Apple's manufacturing is in China, carried out by Chinese citizens, subject to Chinese law (and control, and surveillance).

In a certain sense, Apple is a wholly Chinese operation. Apple's brain organ might be in Cupertino, but its hands and limbs are 100% Chinese.

Essentially, Apple has to do exactly what China wants, at all times, for the entirety of the foreseeable future.

Apple has censored VPN and protest apps in the Chinese App Store. Apple has censored the Taiwanese flag emoji, and cooperates in the censorship for the News app, and maintains their (effectively unencrypted, i.e. non-e2e) iCloud servers for Chinese users inside of China (where the CCP can monitor everything on them - same as they do in the US for US users so that the USG can monitor everything on them via FAA702).

There's nothing they won't do, simply because they have to.
