you're assuming people working at the NSA would rather catch criminals than look at people's nudes. That assumption, unfortunately has been proven incorrect.
Your story doesn’t make any sense. Rapid tests have been available in America since at least the spring. Also you said you were going in September and Memorial Day is in May.
Congrats on the launch, looks really slick!

I'm trying to decode the trend for decentralized services. If you have a sec:

Q1: In your case, why did you opt for decentralized storage?

Q2: Which benefits do I get as a consumer that I wouldn't if this was encoded, but centralized with a lot of redundance?

Don't take me the wrong way, really trying to understand where this is all going.

Language is a big barrier.
With my first startup waiterio.com we had to build a lot of custom tools to narrow the linguistic gap.

Stop the head thumping or any physical punitive action no matter how light. You might have to restrain her at some point but that's different. The only thing you're teaching with those actions is "violence solves problems" and you will see her hit other children and you a lot more as a result. Walk away, put her down, tell her you don't like it when she does that, take the juice away, etc. Don't thump.

I like to think "what would I do in this situation if this were an adult?" and respond accordingly. If you hit someone for spitting in your face you'd end up in jail. Is that the behavior you want to model? I don't understand why we think it's OK to treat kids that way. Violence is violence in my book.

Edit: You MUST learn to set boundaries without violence. A lot of bad parenting stems from our own upbringing where boundaries were set with violence so we don't know how to set them in other ways. Many of us just end up not setting any boundaries at all rather than use violence which can end very very badly with a boundary-pushing child. Learn to say "no" and stick to it at least some of the time (and flex when they negotiate well). I've gotten a ton of mileage out of taking away part of TV time if they act poorly or refuse to contribute to chores.

Ruby on Rails 7 Moves to No-Node Default
Ruby on Rails has been updated to version 7 with major improvements that the developers say is the fulfillment of a vision to present a truly full-stack approach to web development that tackles both the front- and back-end challenges with equal vigor.
> For web and embedded I would still need to dynamically control transforms of object groups.

Looking at what people mostly use SVG's for on the web, most people don't agree with you. Like I said most SVG's I see are either static icons, diagrams or graphs.

Weather it would be better for them to be bitmaps is another discussion. Lately in embedded I often come in situation where I have CPU cycles to spare, but bump into available storage limit on micro. So this might make sense in such situation

Whole point of this format is to be 80%. that's why it has tiny in name :) If you want to do dynamic content this is not format for you.

> Otherwise the graphics is baked and I can just as well use PNG.

that's what I use now.

But I will try this TinyVG for my next projects dashboard icons, to see cpu/storage space is favorable
I generally agree with his conclusions, but I found his argument about centralization very weak. Bitcoin on mars seems like an impractical thought experiment compared to the actual reality that 50 miners (maybe less) control enough of the network to seize control when they desire. [1]

I wish he'd spent some time discussing the fact that bitcoin's 'value' is proportional to the electricity needed for hashing, and that property will favor aggregating control to a few actors at whatever geographic local has the cheapest electricity. The political and environmental shenanigans exploited by these actors is a deep dive, too, but out of scope for his thesis.

If Twitter had existed as a DAO on a blockchain, Jack Dorsey wouldn’t have been able to claim credit for “inventing” Twitter (yeah, I’ve seen the sketches, whatever dude) and we would be paying attention to Noah Glass’ opinions instead.

The Bitcoin maxis and their deluded ideas are bad for crypto. They really need to get wiped out so the market can move on from a 12+ year old experiment that’s run its course.

Have you tried just making an distinctive sound (like a buzzer sound with your mouth) and taking away the juice? Nothing said, nobody hurt but a clear indication of a boundary violation with a non-painful consequence?

If you want to continue “thumping” her, it may be something you want to get her consent and make it more of a game. “If you spit up you get thwack from me flicking your forehead and if you swallow I pat your belly”. Kids love games and are insanely easy to trick. Boundaries should be opted into and the rules clear ahead of time. Learning the rules should not be penalized (eg if she spits up you remind her “we agreed I’d flick your forehead if you spit up - gimme your forehead”). Imagine what your reaction would be if someone randomly thumped your forehead for breaking some kind of social norm you didn’t understand.
Socrates did actually have a point, though. This goes for all technology. Sure, it often makes us more capable in one way, but in many other ways, it reduces our capabilities.

Nobody today can memorize an epic like the Illiad today like people routinely would in Socrates' day. It a bit impressive if you can reproduce a 3 minute song text from memory. The Illiad often took days to recite.

Sure you can argue that tools (like writing) allow us to do more, to store more information, but the point is that they also cut us off from doing other things. Recitation from memory is available even when there is no paper.

This has gotten a lot worse recently, with tools like Wikipedia acting like external memory for a lot of people, granting them access to a lot of extremely superficial knowledge they don't actually possess themselves. It is certainly faster to look something up than to learn it, but a huge part of the benefit in actually knowing various things is to be able to connect what you are seeing now with something you know from beforehand, to generate a conclusion. That only works if you know the thing, you're not helped by theoretically being able to look it up.

The same with auto completion. Sure you can type faster, but it also means you, as a human, become less capable because you've never needed to hone the skills necessary to program without it. Programming without autocompletion is available in any text editor, even on paper.

Using tools is fine, but being completely reliant on them even to perform basic tasks is hobbling yourself. You turned yourself into an idiot in a powerarmor: Completely useless without your training wheels, unable to reason, unable to perform even simple menial tasks. I have a hard time seeing how that's made you, the human, more capable.

The Music app does what it's supposed to: play your music. Their stance is that arbitrary streaming platforms should be their own app, which makes sense.

The Videos app likewise plays your videos. No idea where you're getting that bit about The Guardian, but that's just flat out false.

There is no first-party Maps app, so again, that's not something that the elementary team provides...

VS code does it at least, if i'm interpreting you correctly. You can position your cursor in the middle of the ligature and change either side
I would argue the same thing, but rephrased for "our species" as compared to other "social mammals" like cats/dogs/cows/pigs/squirrels/otters/etc. I think people greatly underestimate how much of our brains are still from the millions of years of mammalian evolution prior to tool-use.

I think we all have mainly the same feelings and motivations, although obviously each species, and each line of each species, have varying proportions and defaults. The primary difference, I think, is that we can use complex speech to communicate these feelings, and use complex tools to manifest what we are motivated towards.

I think this book about training dogs has a huge wealth of actionable knowledge needed to interact with humans...because while we do have other additional complexities layered on top of this, we also still have everything in this book. And the base layers (which we share with dogs) are potentially more "powerful" and fundamental to who we are than the final complex (and fragile) layers that we've evolved only very recently.

That is obviously absurd.

There is no way The US, EU, China or any other nation will give up the power/capability of printing their own money.

Especially so when giving up the one power would subject them to another that can be gamed by adversaries.

This sounds a lot like my daughter (3yo). She likes to play up, but also craves approval from her parents and stern words can be devastating to her.

The best approach we've found is to progressively and predictably escalate our language and tone. Starting with a friendly "now, now" and ending with time out if she hasn't fixed her behavior. At some point along the way she usually recognizes The Voice and course corrects voluntarily without needing to be reprimanded.

As with all thing parenting, YMMV ;)

In the original case, the goal is to maximize effect in the external world. Here, tools that magnify one’s performance are desired.

That's one benefit but I think that the main benefit is that when you've a high level, you'll know that this guy in front of you is a beginner and you'll go soft on him, which is quite important: if he doesn't know how to fall properly the beginner could be injured if the "high level" guy doesn't notice in time..

It'd be great to see some better SQL syntax highlighting support - I saw a community effort on the Packages repo aiming to address this. Will there be a way to switch "active" sql dialect? Or configure it per project?

>> Only thing I don't like about it is that Netflix isn't on it.. but that's hardly Kodi's fault.

My main use case for it actually was wanting to watch netflix, youtube and prime on my desktop monitor from my office couch. The two main issues were lack of a remote and the lack of native support in kodi for any of those streaming platforms. The first issue was solved with this nifty little unit: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00WQG6A8C. The second was solved with a kodi plugin called web launcher. I had to mod the plugin to make it launch pages in kiosk mode on the leftmost of my dual displays (basically passing a custom command line to chrome), and I am not sure whether it has been updated for py3-based kodi.
“Work well under pressure” is a safety valve, not SOP
Yes, that's one reason I'm really not sold on storing private data on IPFS and similar services.
I’m pretty sure passive aggressive is pretending to be supportive but not - which I’m pretty sure I wasn’t.

Saying everyone who participates in OF is in the same boat as women who were actively blackmailed by clear lies and fraudulent claims, and that everyone who does it has no idea of the ramifications and is being exploited in the same way is treating them like children with no idea of the ramifications of their actions.

Which is denying they can make rational choices and trade offs, and have agency in making their decisions and accepting their consequences.

If a man went into manual labor or the trades rather than going to college, would you make the same statement? And compare them to someone blackmailed or forced into physical labor as a slave?

Because those are much closer comparisons than most would admit. Both have similar long term social, and physical consequences (different in details but not consequences).

Manual labor doesn’t pay well though.
Yes, much rather I'd have the teens driving "light cars" which are regular cars at 80 km/h in those conditions than for example flimsy moped cars. Cars have a tremendous amount of safety nowadays, and you get a lot of features for a little bit of money.

We have excellent driver training, including training how to drive in slippery conditions, cars have regulation that they need automatic light leveling, there's yearly checkups for cars etc.

I have no idea how you'd go about doing that intentionally. It's not like there are scary vials labeled "Omicron" sitting on some shelf. In practice, it would look like the Midwest has looked for a year anyway.
I was quite confused about why I was not seeing any differences between the font examples, till I remembered I have uBlock Origin Blocking remote fonts.

I also agree with another comment that I don't want my ":)"s being converted into emojis. And the ligatures look pretty good, but I wouldn't use them when programming.
Agreed. (but I use sshfs+userify with an automount for sshfs) And VLC, so no more fighting to set up HDMI audio. I would love to know how to set up Dolby Atmos, though, but VLC has some great configuration options for various pass-thru.
Isn't base64 encoding/decoding bound to memory bandwidth? If so, won't all 4/3 memory formats encode/decode at the same speed?
Well this will be interesting to follow. Certainly feels there are a lot of "vc playthings" going around which have more to do with the ego of the VCs rather than technology

BTW what are those Vc-funded crypto startups?
The best programmers I know are able to see through the abstraction and are comfortable getting into the lowest-level details. They have those skills because they've actually used them.

I'm not saying we'd be better off without optimizing compliers, but I do think every programmer should have practical experience taking the lid off and poking around inside.

why Westerners always thinking about aggressive increase price? it may give you a short term profit but in the long run. your customers will start to look else where and try new technology to by pass you.

Electric vehicle inverters? Each motors in an EV require its own 1kV/1kA programmable switching supply to operate.
It depends on the language. At least for me as a Haskell programmer, the arguments are not really valid.

* The operators do indeed mean the mathematical symbols

* Haskell does not support unicode in operators normally. The operators are ascii.

* I have yet to come across where the ligatures were wrong for my code and as I do not have those unicode operators in my code (and am not really sure how to type them) they were never ambiguous.

I am happy to have ligatures in Haskell. A colleague of mine programs in Agda though, which supports unicode operators and they have their mathematical meaning there. So he's fine without ligatures and does indeed type the unicode symbols using vim. It really depends on the language.
She thinks she's funny, you don't, she is upset at your disapproval and reprimand. She goes to another adult for comfort and reassurance. The other adult provides it and says "It will be OK"

What will be OK? Spitting juice on people will never be OK. Her anger will subside yes, but I do think She needs a consistent message that doubly reinforces the immorality of her action.

I'd also state, if she goes to daycare, she may be picking up and reinforcing behaviors there, so to some extent home may need a different set of rules, lest she bring back any bad habit she finds and Mom tacitly approves it. Good cop bad cop, eh, I'd say there's no good cop who would approve of juice spitting.

You don't need to have it internet connected to have your thermostat on a timer. My home has responded to heat or cool the house based on when I wake up, when I leave, when I come home, and when I go to bed for well over a decade all without needing an internet connection to do so. My thermostat doesn't go dumb just because the internet went down or because it became unsupported and got bricked.

The only thing I wish it would do would have better multi-zone temperature and humidity sensing to know to turn on the circulation fan when the edges of the house get too hot/cold compared to where the thermostat is. Even then that doesn't require the internet, it could be done with cheap 433MHz temp/humidity probes running on button cell batteries for years.
