If you're inclined to try (with shields up!), the user experience and video quality of pirate sports streams have improved dramatically in the last few years.

It's an interesting ethical quandary. I wouldn't mind chipping in financially but not with the current business model. Bundling TV channels I don't care about? No thanks. Local blackouts? Please. Paying the services that engage in these anti-consumer practices is only exacerbating the problem. I see pirate streams as doing my part to force the parties involved to find another way.

As another comment alluded, this is an industry on the precipice of a moment. Along the lines of the arrival of Spotify, or the iPod. We're not far away now.
It's legal to scrape public websites.

And if you can read Python you have nothing to fear

Read the source before you blindly run anything!

the /scrapers/ folder in particular
e.g.

https://github.com/aapatre/Automatic-Udemy-Course-Enroller-G...

If it was closed source or if you are ultra paranoid there is plenty more you can do for safety

e.g.

- run the code in a disposable VM

- run the code one step at a time, maybe in debug mode, or a Jupyter notebook for example

- Wireshark

etc etc
Hardly.

- Both Playstation 5 and Xbox Series X use x86 processors.

- MacBook market share is around 10%, so the majority of new laptops are still x86.

- The majority of cloud compute instances are also x86.
Also, Linux became highly portable. So I think Linux would pass with better than an F.
Also by men they meant landowners.
I’m curious how you deal with JavaScript that will load other pages including other JavaScript documents that cannot be loaded until the first set of JavaScript is executed. I’ve played with the chromium web driver a few times but it seems to be tricky to implement in a completely headless environment.
How is software growth like a plant? What are the nutrients (revenue/volunteers)? The positive feedback loop (commits). The negative feedback loop (deprecations)?

Prusinkiewicz & Lindenmayer modeled the growth of plants[1]. Each has a shape, which evolved to exploit a certain terrain. Mathematica exploits one terrain. Sun Microsystems exploited another terrain with Java.

I wonder if it possible to map these terrains across all the Github projects?

After seeing tjpnz's comment and re-reading and reading the linked Mozilla announcement I was misinterpreting the article. I thought the article was just saying that they would continue to support Manifest v2 while adopting Google's Manifest v3 and then was saying Manifest v2 was going to be retired around a year later. However, the Mozilla announcement makes it clearer that they are implementing a fork of Google's Manifest v3.

Yesterday I tried to buy an from Google's Play Store for an Android tablet, on which I had installed an account with minimal information. Not wanting to hand out my credit card number to them, I bought one of those cards with prepaid credit. And guess what you need to fill in to redeem the card: your address and phone number. Why would that be needed? The answer: it isn't needed, but they want it, and they've got you by your balls. This is such awful abuse of their position.

And yes, I filled in a fake address, and then was not able to redeem the card. They need "more details", and the process can take several weeks. Google is evil in every pore.

They're all books which explain social relations in a logical, mechanistic way. A lot of people lack intuition in this area, and this is the most effective way to understand "other people".
Thank you, your comment helped me realize I was misinterpreting the article.
And the little Key deer down in Florida, which are the smallest of the North American Whitetails, are typically about 40-50 pounds. One night when I was down in the Florida Keys, typing away at my laptop on the beech in the dark, I felt something cold and wet touch my elbow. I looked over my shoulder, and a little Key deer was sniffing my arm. I jumped a bit, and then the deer jumped a bit, and with one last curious look, she ran off into the dark. Very cute little thing.

Depends on your definition of major. Mosquitoes still exist despite nearly a million people dying from the diseases they transmit each yaar.

Stray dogs in India are responsible for tens of thousands rabies deaths annually. Yet it's illegal to cull them.
All embedded/low power medical devices I've worked on since 2010 have moved over to ARM. Especially new development. Beaglebones like chips are great for PoC, prototyping etc. as you can install Linux and easily control gpio pins and have an abundance of serial, i2c, spi and even dual ethernet if needed. M3-M0s are great for smaller embedded chips.

I got into the non profit space, which is really the asset management space, but everyone loves hearing "non profit", and some people act like I'm doing a tour of duty in a war and thank me as if I'm a soldier making the "ultimate sacrifice for god and country". I think other people in the non profit space created and perpetuate this perception, but I inherit it.

underneath that I am passionate about lots of things and the non profit space is surprisingly low tech, especially when it comes to anything crypto and on-chain crypto. so I'm still building and occassionally in that space and noticing all sorts of market needs. which includes then board seats on other non profits.

which means I'm also in the fintech and crypto space, noticing everything else being built, as well as becoming more and more integrated with other "institutional investors", of which the non profit is as well and more.

ultimately you do need to find something you're passionate about, but people don't like hearing about actually achieving having money while doing things to obtain more, so non profit has been a great way for me to blend in.

I also do a lot of socialite stuff and don't like hanging out with crypto people. nobody cares how you can support your lifestyle. its great.

I think part of the answer is to spend some of your hobby time building tiny little toys with no expectation that they will become companies.

If you have a standard cloud image and want it to use all the disk given to it, one big xfs partition is easier than a bunch of various little partitions for the sake of not filling the root partition. Hopefully everything log rotates well and you have disk full metrics/alarms when they don't. And the architecture should be if the node goes bad for any reason just replace it (with hysteresis so you don't kill all the zookeepers at once when new traffic and bad rotation/rentention fills the disks all at once)
I think the core of the disagreement between the "shit happens" camp and the "you're an insensitive clod" camp is differing understandings of the context of the conversation. I'm pretty sure we all, in a personal conversation with someone who just went through this, would be somewhere close to "That sucks. Are you OK?"

In a public discussion about whether it is appropriate to continue using Li-ion powered portable electronics, it seems natural that it's an entirely different discussion.
Assuming a high quality internet connection is available, the qualifications for “screaming deal” would have to be:

Money is not money. Money is the options to do stuff.

Are you a creative person? Think about what you can do with some of that money that you want to exist. Do that. Money is just what allows you to do whatever you want, at a certain scale.

Do you want to make a business? A community? Hire people? Buy servers? Marketing?

Be creative with your money, that should get your fire back. Please don't spend it in spurious shit, that yacht can certainly be rented on vacation instead of bought, LOL.
I think this is closer to the truth. X86 isn't going anywhere because it's been pretty adaptable over the last 43 years. The newest adaption is the big.little design. It will be interesting to see AMD's answer to it. Unless something majorly disrupts the Win/Linux on x86 space, it's going to be around for the foreseeable future.

Also, we've heard these arguments before with Intel i960, IBM PowerPC, DEC Alpha, and Sun SPARC. At the end of it, x86 is still around.

Wow, thanks. Back when XHTML 1.0 was gaining traction and you had to serve a different content type to IE vs other browsers, I was trying to adopt it early, and yet I never realized that it had this impact on the DOM that entire time.

That shouldn't matter if you're making a superior product.
I know I’m an anonymous dude on the internet but I think the best advice is to make sure you don’t throw it away chasing the high of gambling (investing).

I’ve seen several men do that, it never ends well.
I'm wary of most entrepreneurs, investors, and "thought leaders" offering advice as they tend to either be self-serving, productivity porn, or deep-seeming ideas that are easily said but impossible to implement. And, all too often, they only have a platform or "success" because of a huge head start from family wealth or from being an outright sociopath (or both).
Any idea about lightweight OSS alternatives to Cloudflare Web Analytics?

I don't need the information Google Analytics provides and want to avoid 3rd party cookies - something like Cloudflare Analytics looks appealing, but I'd prefer an OSS, self-hosted solution.
For pure listening, latency is totally irrelevant as long as the buffers are large enough, and that's a software thing. Heck, one complete audio CD fits uncompressed in one GB of RAM...

If you leverage a ton of open source deps, shit is going to happen. You should not blame anyone.

But if you must, yes: blame the users that choose such piss-poor software.
And absolutely don’t give anything away. It’s a trap for someone with €7M. You’re not that rich in the grand scheme of things. You only have enough for yourself.
Why does that make science a religion? Part of science is defining what is definable and what is not.

for most political reforms it seems the news media purposely chooses the most polarizing examples of the problem to highlight.

Does not matter if police reform, abortion, welfare, or any other topic, the media chooses the examples that will most upset those opposing the reform.

This results in nothing getting reform, maintaining the status quo, and the media;s reoccurring revenue stream

The nation is hopelessly polarized as a direct result of media propaganda, I have encountered this everyday and when people are giving actual non-sensationalized facts it is very easy to come to compromise policy position.
It would be interesting to put this in perspective in regards to total energy savings.

Since so much of computation is matrix multiplication, how much computational power integrated over the next decade would we say that the exponent going from 3->2.3 has saved?

You could start angel investing or help with some philanthropic endeavors. Example of another person making a difference: https://youtu.be/bhKuNwAvsb0.

Try and travel a bit. Walk around old streets with nice architecture. Read history. Take on an identity project, like remodeling your apartment.
That was part of my mission in Paris: to become somebody. Or at least make a start. Until that point I’d been the combination of the expectations of the people around me. I excelled at being all things to other people.
ESPN will be the last to offer their own subscription, because then people would know how much they are getting away with in broadcast programming. YouTube is almost certainly paying more. Decades of strongarming TV networks has allowed Disney/ESPN to soak up 40%-60% of traditional cable bills at the expense of all other content owners. YT is taking a gamble that backed by the weight of Alphabet they can end this corruption. Sadly, I'm not sure it's a smart bet.
Well, this ruined my morning cup of coffee.
The Denial Of Death by Ernest Becker.

The Holy Bible by God.
I’m just some internet stranger who doesn’t know anything, but as a 50 year old guy, here’s my suggestion:

First, focus on yourself. Eat well, spend time getting fit, meditate, see a therapist, spend time with your friends and family.

Then, when you start to feel more bored than depressed, look around. The world needs you, and there are opportunities for you to make things better where your skills and money could be of use.
This is normal. You will get used to it, and you will likely bounce to your personality before the windfall. You have solved one problem in life that most people never solve, and that puts you in a very small group. However, the rest of the problems are still there. The need to work for money can no longer distract you from them. You still need human connection and purpose. You still will age, have to worry about your health, etc.

There are many jobs you will not want to take because you know that you don't need to, and that makes it hard to put up with all the bullshit of a typical job. Ultimately you may want to focus on creative pursuits, perhaps investments, maybe start a business or a nonprofit to do something you find fulfilling.

Right now I'd say be patient, get used to your new life, focus on investing the money wisely. I'd say buy a place to live and invest the rest in a conservative portfolio designed to keep up with inflation. Roboinvesting is the easiest, or you could do it yourself via traditional brokers: a mix of bond and stock index ETFs, perhaps a small amount of crypto (I'd say no more than 10%) if you still believe in it.

2. Donate money to people that need it
I worked at AboutUs.org for a while, and that’s what we did. Good news: it was fun and rewarding. In many ways it felt like a satisfying old-skool problem: scrape, find edge case, patch it, scrape again. We were scraping 100 million domains once a week with a team of six engineers, one UX (me), and Ward Fucking Cunningham as wiki expert. Ward in particular was great at prototyping solutions.

It is an arms race, since many people don’t want you to scrape. We tried hard to respect robots.txt, but we still got angry cease-and-desist emails from people who’d malformed or misconfigured the file.

You will have a scale problem: it’s a lot of data. You’ll have parsing problems: live HTML is about the dirtiest data set I’ve ever seen. Refresh rate can be a major competitive advantage: how often can you scrape, store, diff, and report? These days you’ll need first-class JavaScript execution to catch dynamic content.

But the biggest problem isn’t the scraping tech, it’s the use case — what uses cases are you going to afford your early users? You don’t mention this in your post, and it will non-trivially affect what you scrape and how you report it. I’d encourage you to find users who have business problems that can be solved by paying money for scraping. Otherwise you’ll be another interesting open source tool that no one’s figured out how to monetize. Do this _before_ you talk to investors or take their money.
Tutor, mentor or educate a child (or several). You'd be surprised how rewarding it is to help other humans.
> But how do other monkeys know they participate to a legitimate cause?

The legitimacy of a cause depends on your value system, and who is to say what sort of value system the monkeys have. Perhaps their value system places "stick up for other monkeys" before other considerations like impartial assessment of guilt or blame.
I've always wondered about that, I have a few mugs I use daily and they have tiny little cracks inside. The results say coffee seems to have more lead than tea, and some of the levels were above guidelines. The lead concentrations were dependent on the cup used. But blood lead levels did not increase above regulatory or guidance values.

> That isn't elitism or censorship. It's enforcing their ToS, which as a private business, they have every right to do. I also think you're confused about what an 'elite' actually is. Spoonfed, entitled, whining, bitching opportunists like Trump fit that bill. And don't even pretend this isn't the side you're on.

Emotionally charged drivel. I didn't vote for either Biden or Trump, and definitely didn't support either. They are both agents of the 'elites'. Trump wouldn't have won the Republican primary if he wasn't part of the problem. Further, I tried to warn Trumps supporters he was planning a Night of the Long Knives, to rid his party of there extremist brown shirts (aka the January 6th insurrection).
That's not precisely correct. With respect to cattle or any other domesticated ungulates, "culling" means removing from the herd. That might occasionally be slaughter, but usually means selling the animal. Of course the new owner might buy the animal in order to slaughter it, but we can't assume that.

Money isn't your issue, depression is. Previously, you were distracting yourself from depression by chasing some grand ambition: now you don't have that distraction, you're unable to distract yourself. Address your depression, whether that's therapy (a good start) or something else...
Yh absolutely do not tell your family.
Outer Wilds, Return of the Obra Dinn, for investigations and memory and "human puzzles".

What is money though? What it has been through time?

Is money cash? Or the bits on your bank's database holding your account.

Or the market value of the stocks you hold, or the cryptocurrency in a wallet, or gold you have in a safe somewhere

What if you are wealthy rich and just take loans (debt) on your stock or whatever?

Money is not just money, and at a certain point, money only matters for what it allows you to do without flexing too much muscle and taking a hit. Wanna cure cancer? Maybe 7.5M can't do it but are a good start. (Hey moderna is going there with the new mRNA vaccines...)

But yeah I'm broken, that I reckon.

Definetly not financial advise.
Congrats on your success. There are lots of great things you are in a unique position to help other people with. Not just with your money but something more precious, your time. I am sure there are a lot things you can do in your community. Helping under privileged children with the school work, mentoring HS kids, volunteering at a hospital or shelter for women. It might be some of the most meaningful and rewarding things you will do in your life. You will make life long friends, and I am sure you will find something interesting and will enjoy.

Good luck and have fun helping others!
