JuNest – The lightweight Arch based distro that runs upon any Linux distribution
A few years ago, it was widespread advice that you shouldn't host a copy of jquery on your own server, and instead you should include it from cdnjs or jsdelivr in the hopes users would have it cached, having needed it on another website.

This advice is now obsolete, because it was realised sharing caches between sites was a privacy problem. Evil.com can request example.com/logo.png and if it loads instantly, know that you've visited example.com before.
Scams, frauds, all leverage false advertising.

But just because they use marketing tools to achieve that objective, it doesn't make marketing "evil" or "all about lies" - hell they're surely also using some tech stack to have the whole operation going.

Does that make tech evil, or a vehicle to spread lies, scams, frauds?

No. It's just what people do with it.
Optimizing Wind Farm Roads Using A* Search and Minimal Spanning Trees
Let's be fair here, the issue with Taiwan is a geopolitical one. The same as it is with Israel and Palestine. And with many countries, territories, and borders, that are contested.

This isn't the same as the sheer ignorance it takes to assume that countries Nigeria, Montenegro, and Niger are connected to the US's issues with race and are therefore offensive. A US diplomat isn't going to sanction you for recognising Nigeria as a country. I'm also unaware of what such a person would call these countries instead.

I love posts like this! I remember back in the day having to cut motherboard traces on my Amiga 500 to get Fat Agnus to recognize 1MB of chip RAM. A pure BIOS/bootloader hack is far less risky!
It's like people don't get that arbitrary and shifting rules with inconsistent enforcement are by design, so as to make the people subject to them police themselves, which is more effective at managing a community than real rules.

This can even be appropriate with limited scopes like single forums and services or monolithic communities. Until a kid can understand language it's how many children and most livestock are managed. However at scale, it's objectively insane.

Simple and evenly enforced rules provide a lot of freedom, where arbitrary discretion and making examples with disproportionate punishment incentivises submissiveness, and worse, toadyism. For adults the disproportionate policy approach is the definition of an abusive relationship anywhere else in reality. I realize this is just about a browser I had barely heard of, and there's zero danger of me ever becoming a user, but it's a general platform governance and culture question worth articulating as a dynamic for other issues.
Show HN: SQL Notebook – Windows app for casual data exploration in SQL
You should expect mail to be public. There's no security at all in those protocols, by default.

Only encrypted e-mails are somewhat safe. So I just don't understand who's upvoting this. It's a silly post.
To be fair, the syntax has changed since the days of NeXT. Accessing object variables been more C like (dot notation).

Personally, I never had any difficulties understanding the old syntax.

How difficult (verbose?) do you think it is to replicate once of your pieces in p5?
That's bizarre. RAM is relatively expensive and has long been a substantial cost of the computer. Not like CPU binning where it really can be cheaper to sell you the faster processor and lock it to behave like the cheaper one.
According to the statement by Hertz in the article, it seems that they believe the majority of the statements are correct.

If there’s some memo floating around that says otherwise, then maybe it’s a crime.
Hi all, I'm the author of SQL Notebook. This open source app provides a Jupyter-style notebook interface atop a local SQLite database. The SQLite engine is extended to support procedural programming (inspired by Microsoft's T-SQL) and a library of additional import, export, and analysis commands. Unlike Excel, the default import settings in SQL Notebook will not butcher your CSV files.

I wrote this to help me wrap my head around new external data sources at work before writing production ETL processes for them. I can use a throwaway notebook to quickly answer questions about the data and test out how it will integrate with other tables in our database.

In future versions I plan to support additional file formats, add a command line interface for unattended script execution, and flesh out the standard library. If any of this sounds interesting, please give SQL Notebook a try! Thanks!

Oh yeah, that one is very personal and I continually struggle with it.
I just created an account and it got deactivated because of "inconsistencies". Wrote to support and they, again, told me it is because of inconsistencies, but will not tell me what those are.

They really do not give a f** about potential costumers.

(since you are juxtaposing naturalism and magic, I'm assuming by naturalism you mean materialism. If that is incorrect, ignore me.)

Yes, but also no. Materialism is a way of looking at the world that itself encompasses the scientific method. Saying that the scientific method always proves materialism correct is a tautology.

I think what's different this time around is that we are saying materialism is likely incomplete, as opposed to 'wrong', which seems like a safe bet given our advancing understanding of the universe. Give the materialists that which is theirs.
Thanks. If you can infer the correct MIME type from the language and send the correct Content-Type header it will be even more useful. I know most languages don't have a dedicated MIME, but some do, such as html, json or svg.
This comment is pretty disingenuous. (I personally found it a bit obnoxious.)

The person you're responding to made it very clear that they were responding to your conclusion that "large SV companies and startup should also start agreeing to pay for open source, when it's the core of the tech". The fact that you have support and services available isn't a "gotcha!" that refutes the point they are making, which is that given that there is also a zero-cost "product" available, then (unsurprisingly) prospective customers prefer that one instead.
There is no need to emit if they produce it themselves from other stimuli, such as sleep deprivation.

The original post did not use money laundering in the legal sense but in the ordinary language use sense of the phrase.
The statement from Hertz at the end implies that they were not false reports after all. It's a pretty confident thing for a company to say. If true, then there will not be large payouts.
One to add, which entirely shaped the trajectory of my career, would be The Art of Electronics by Paul Horowitz and Winfield Hill.

I was convinced that I wanted to go into aerospace, mechanical, or software engineering before I read this book. They all made logical sense, within their layer of abstraction, compared to electronics which seemed closer to a dark-art. Granted I still sometimes see it that way, but with much less fear. No-one I knew could concisely explain how electronics worked to me (outside of some very rudimentary explanations), so this book felt like I was reading occult material.

I devoured it cover-to-cover in the space of a few of months, completed every exercise, and either simulated or built all the circuits that I thought to be interesting or useful. I still have a shelf full of stripboard circuits from that time that I still reference for projects. The local dump workers knew me by name, as I was there every weekend to scavenge old toasters and microwaves and gut them for parts. To this day it's still some of the most fulfilling engineering work I think I've ever done, and my personal edition is now dog-eared like a good Christians' bible.
This highlights, in an interesting way, one of the downsides to RSS as a technology in the era of centralized services. Really, of all decentralized services in the era of centralized services.

When you want to make a pitch to somebody that RSS is valuable, you don't have direct statistics on its global use. You can pull access logs for your own servers, but if you're trying to justify to a boss the investment of setting up an RSS service where you don't have one already, you're going to have to use someone's proxy numbers on how popular it is.

Meanwhile, Twitter's access logs are a direct signal on the popularity of Twitter. Their story for telling potential investors how many users they have is very short.
Insert obligatory "isn't that all cultures?" joke here.
Yes. 24+ minutes long and unfortunately more than 5 years old if you believe the timestamp on the video.

It is definitely worth watching though just to see how simple it is to customize your installation and how flexible it is for file management operations.

I have used various file managers from XTree to Total Commander. Directory Opus looks to be worth trying and I may give it a go after I complete my new workstation configuration over the holidays.

I wish America would adopt what I've seen in some European countries -- a paradigm where they introduce a fixed-time contract first, then only hire you if they like you after the contract. I have seen that in some jobs in America, but just not programming jobs.
They can warn people once or twice, but banning people for ALL CAPS will still remain wrong. You cant justify bad rules by saying there is a warning system.

I am sure I had learned (long in the past) that they were in different families; but my little exposure to Turkish led me to believe (having forgotten what I had learned) that they were related; why? because the conjugations and tense modalities evoked to me an analogy to those of romance languages, and the declination cases and flexible word order evoked to me those of Easter European languages; while at the same time dismissing the greatest difference: it's agglutinative character.

Defining a demographics.
The only thing you would be using LEDs for in the late 70s would be indicator lights and 7-segment displays. The only colors available are red, green and yellow, and they wen't bright enough to illuminate dials, instrument panels or cockpits. Even if they did use LEDs where they made sense, they would still need hundreds of incandescent bulbs.
Not sure why that is worth highlighting, it's pretty obvious?

Then given that point of view "Desktop Linux" is also a leading desktop, given that on most sport events there is a top 3.
From this standpoint (solo dev & marketing) I have a question;

Would it make sense to make a twitter channel around a product for marketing purposes and direct traffic to it or rather to my personal one?

I have almost no following at the moment, so they would both effectively be equivalent (be starting from scratch).

In one way I can see the benefit in building an audience for other products in the future, but it still feels a bit odd to me.
As a hard of hearing person, I mostly depend on subtitles to follow along. So, 2.5x is my usual speed, sometimes 3x depending on the content.

Is there a current and well functioning tool that pulls full articles from the links inside most RSS feeds that only publish teasers?

When I first discovered RSS for me, I wanted news to read on the road. It was before Smartphones became ubiquitous. Unfortunately most news sites only published a few lines of text per article.

Now, I would like to do the same when there is no network coverage. But I still don't know a good tool for that...
What? If anything, over time, science has increasingly shown that a material view of the world is far more accurate. Just because we don't have a complete theory of the universe yet, that does not mean it is likely incomplete. We've only been seriously at this for about 200 years. It took us 50 from the first flight to land on the moon. Why would you think it's more likely to reverse trend suddenly?
I was doing this ten years ago but since switched to Tox. The ToxCore library is just brilliant. The layered API so flexible.

Another DHT-for-NAT-traversal-as-a-library is also available through the DAT project. There are probably others.

The onion routing involved in Tor is actually a pointless inefficiency for this use case.
The article comments have quite a bit of additional information on the sim. Interesting reading.

Your email was not the center of your digital identity either, because you simply didn't have one. Now you need an email for interacting with the government and basically anything that isn't a low-importance smartphone app.

Killing someone's email access causes a lot of grief, and requires a lot of work to undo. It's a disproportionate punishment for acting mean (or even racist - racists are still human beings and still should have the right to keep using their email for personal comms unless they seriously and repeatedly cross the line).
This is super impressive and a huge leap toward photo realism. The draw distance and content streaming using nanite is nuts.

Next I want to see what kind of tech demo they can make run smoothly on a mobile device at 120Hz. I.e. does the tech scale downward too? Or is there no point to it unless you require extreme scale and fidelity.
I swear I heard that line from a Ferengi somewhere.
Honestly, it is the singular reason why it failed. They had no intention of evolving with the times.
In Persian (an Indo-European language), not only is there no grammatical gender, but also there are no gender pronouns [1]. You can write text that is technically gender-neutral.

Reddit tried to do a Spotify wrapped thing where they told you how much time you spend in your top subreddits. With that knowledge, I have deleted the app and blocked the website. Very dumb thing for them to do.
Too true, these days the audience is people typing google into the browser omni bar.

> given that there are literally streets with it on[1] I doubt its a bannable offense. plus, you'd expect that to be filtered out at the very start. Plus if they adhere to their escalations then it wouldn't result in a ban.

Here in Atlanta, Georgia USA they're already changing street names that are deemed offensive [1]. Sometimes these are family names that were made famous by a historical figure tied to a "bad" thing but sometimes it's an English phrase where the implications are bad. I would be wary of general purpose words like Kaiser that make people think of "bad" things as those are also open to scrutiny.

No human is offended by those (I hope), but poorly-configured bots are easily triggered and can get an author censored or temporarily banned, or just annoy human moderators with irrelevant automated reports.
Yeah at best that'll break your site when the library has the next update, changing random things that nobody asks for. And you'll get a swapped malicious file at worst.

To be fair, NASDAQ 100 also almost tripled in value in the same period, so it's not like Apple is a big outlier. It shows more about the socio-economic policies and environment we're going through than Apple itself.
i find that hard to estimate. a day or less for some. i ported the webby thing to vanilla js in a couple of days. might have been slightly faster if i used p5js. but others might take weeks or even months. depending on how much experience you have spent working with graph structures for example. as with a lot of programming it's not always that hard if you know precisely what you are making (if you have done it before.) related: someone who has not done a lot of generative art might be surprised by how complicated some things are and others aren't. not always obvious from the visual result. edit: i guess maybe you just meant how long it would take me. but the answer is sort of the same.
I'm a bit disappointed this is just accessing a service you expose as a hidden service, not a p2p NAT traversal service that happens to perform a handshake on Tor.

IPFS p2p is also usable for that kind of thing (and will perform NAT traversal if possible), though Tor and i2p are probably better fits if traffic needs to be relayed.

I also used yggdrasil, but you need to maintain at least a static peer. After that though, using IPv6 addresses is nice. cjdns and hyperbora work the same.

Using Vivaldi hardly ties you to the mothership. At most, you'll lose sync access via their service, not brick your browser.
A soft ban which blocks you from sending emails, but lets you receive them can prevent that kind of abuse (but not all other abuse). When I worry about losing an email account, I primarily care about receiving emails, because accounts on other websites rely on that to verify my identity.
No site will ever be judged by the quality of its lurkers.
agreed. 1 to 1 would be an interesting result and probably a linear set of curves. But some curves look more like log scales so the effect depending on the slope of the curve could be wildly more or less.

I agree the classic diagrams are kind of crappy. As usually they are very simple just for demonstration. But to make both of those curves is usually more like a N dimensional curve. But remembering back on my econ classes I took they were excited about point slope formulas and maybe a mix of linear algebra in the advanced classes. Which was amusing from the CS/Math background which was my major.
