If you don't own the car outright, why would an entity with a lien on the vehicle not also have access to such "strong crypto" legally? This is an issued with a secured loan, presumably in a crypto world the repossession would be allowed by "smart contract" if the borrower defaulted.

Unfortunately that does not reflect at all in the consumer price. We have been taking top spots in the energy price rankings for years now and there is no real hope for improvements.
Weird that no service provided by seznam.cz is listed (I would expect at least their maps or email to be mentioned, while the search engine is tailored to czech language only so listing it would be less useful to most people outside of Czechia).
I have a lot of fun with shell scripting, even if it is a terrible programming environment in so many ways. It is fun to be able to quickly hack together existing tools in such a messy, but natural, way.

3. How far are you depended on the Social Media algorithms' prioritizing the contents that could potentially save much time?

You can save even more time by not reading anything. I use RSS because I want to control what I read myself. I read as much or as little as my time permit; I don't have FOMO.

4. What is the solution for the websites/social media that doesn't provide RSS feed in itself?

Why should they? RSS is the wrong venue for them anyhow.

5. RSS feeds now - Worth it?

I am not sure what you expect to get; people bother to answer all the questions so far would most likely say yes, except the masochists.
Agreed. And I don't really see a good solution for this. I guess we have to recognize that when companies grow and especially when structures are moved around, the original "agile" efficiency is not going to be there so we need to slow down in whole.

Pop OS's store also disables search when you're on "Installed". It's never made sense to me either.
The lynchpin in these arguments is that you'll somehow be able to summon a vehicle on a moments notice and all your usage will still be less expensive than personal ownership. The cost will be low because no humans are involved...

Except it didn't work for ZipCar or the rental agencies that have added hourly options -- sure it's not bad, but is it really pushing people out of car ownership? No...

Ride sharing similarly hasn't worked to push people out of car ownership either -- it's just killed traditional taxi services by compensating drivers less and eliminating the flag down monopoly some cities have maintained (a taxi medallion in Boston/NYC used to be worth hundreds of thousands... no one wants them now)

All these share options work for low use scenarios like the city dweller who wants a weekly trip to a shopping center, but for the daily commuter/driver it won't ever make sense... and it'll never make sense for those that need to keep things in their car like child seats, diapers, a walker, tools, etc...

Bike/Scooter shares haven't eliminated personal ownership either because of the scarcity issue at peak times.
Interesting how you can see the chromatic aberration on the bomber but not the ground. I guess that this implies that the optical and/or software correction that they're doing only works within a _very_ narrow focal plane, given the relative proximity of the bomber to the ground.

This is kind of surprising, because if the tolerances for avoiding chromatic aberration are that small, whatever is collecting this data would have to be constantly adjusting its optics or software based on the topography.

EDIT: it's not chromatic aberration, it's pixel misalignment caused by the object being in motion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29627917
I'm 80% audio books these days. And while they take numerically longer to read than paper books I can listen just about anywhere. I tend to read/listen about 2 hours a day. That adds up REAL quick.
Nothing is above criticism.
In addition to allowing the users to remove specific applications from the dot you could let the user decide which displays the dot appears on.
Imagine the chills you'd get seeing that on GEarth if you're just looking to see a picture of your fields.
The degree to which people are whinging about the use of “useless” to mean “customers who pay creators for this work will not accept the result this imposes on it” as opposed to “it is not theoretically possible to use the device for this purpose with the misfeature at issue” is... surprising.
High turnover also contributes to tech debt. When turnover becomes ingrained in company culture, engineers have no incentive to care overly much about the overall health of the code base.
I love this as a pinnacle side project. It hits all the notes for me

1. Pretty simple to implement, you could make this in a few hours
2. Tell's a story and justifies its existence.
3. It has some degree of utility so at the least the creator will use it for a week or two before giving up on the gimmick
4. Easy to understand within 30 seconds, which makes it good for interviews
5. The code is probably small enough that it could be reviewed during interviews

Good project lmao
I love elementary a lot, so it hurts for me to admit that I agree.

I'm stuck on an older kernel because the nvidia drivers are borked, but worst of all the AppCenter is truly horrid.

For a distro that does such a good job at making sure that there is a GUI alternative in addition to all the normal things you'd do in a CLI, the AppCenter is really crummy.

Ubuntu actually does a better job of making sure you can sort out your drivers through the GUI.
That dot is there to let people know that there's a live mic listening to them and possibly recording them in case they don't want that, right?

So basically, what this guy is saying is that sometimes he wants to show an app that is listening to the audience, but without letting his audience know that they could be recorded by his application.

Here's the crux of his issue.

"In the interest of security and privacy, Apple on macOS Monterey has added a prominent orange dot to display outputs when audio capture is active. That renders their machines unusable for live visual performance, though, since it’s also shown on external displays. Dear macOS team – we urgently need a fix here.

The basic idea here is sound – to avoid software hijacking your camera and audio input and spying on you, essentially, there’s an orange dot to let you know recording is active. But this essentially makes the Mac unusable for live visuals, since it impacts external projectors and LED walls and the like. (Those applications don’t even need to be obviously using audio; live visuals often use mic or line input to produce sound-reactive animation and the like."

Here's where I feel he's being disingenuous:

"Those applications don’t even need to be obviously using audio; live visuals often use mic or line input to produce sound-reactive animation and the like."

So they're not using audio, but may be using the microphone or line input to access sound for "reasons". That's called "using audio". He's trying to draw a distinction that doesn't exist. He wants to make it clear he's using audio in a non-privacy-violating way. And I believe that he is. I do believe he's a good-faith actor who is just trying to use audio input to enhance certain presentations.

However, it has the same behavior as people who do not act in good faith. This is a prime example of dipshits ruining it for everyone. There can't really be an exception because then that exception just gets used by the bad faith actors in the space.

To solve his problem what he really needs is a monitor/projector that doesn't show the top however many pixels required by the menu bar. In a very amateur way, this would be accomplished with a piece of electrical tape over the monitor. For a projector, there could possible be a special lens cap that cuts off the required area. Like a matte lens.
It's _exactly_ like that - and I've asked a fair few questions on DIY forums and the answer is, invariably, "you should hire someone to do that".

It's even worse in the UK if you mention gas. If you so much as mention a boiler you'll be pounced on by the cartel inventing their own legislation.
The point is moot now. And I don't mean debatable.
Just mildly objecting to the strength of someone's hyperbole is life-threatening?

Just because other people are feeling super aggravated about this completely stupid design decision by Apple doesn't mean it's valid to project that on me as if I'm fighting some battle.

I don't really care about this. I get it, people are upset about a totally indefensible, short-sighted design that impacts people's ability to use Macs to do presentations that will be accepted in professional contexts.

Yes, there's some sense to the hyperbole that says something is "useless" when reality is "this will not be accepted in my field of work". It's still hyperbole. Admitting that it's hyperbole doesn't mean accepting the bad design.
Easy - just incorporate the orange dot in to the design. Surround the entire scene with orange dots and then it won't look out of place.
My problem with Elementary OS is that, it comes with a selection of apps that look beautiful but are just... really bad.

For example, the Music app. Comes built-in, looks great, only works with your local music library if you copy it over and reorganize it the way the Music app wants. No online music streaming of any kind.

The Videos app? Again, only your local library, and that's it except (IIRC) it has videos from The Guardian newspaper of all places as one of its four online sources? What's up with that?

The Maps app? Looks beautiful, again, but the last time I tried it, it could hardly handle directions. Maybe Directions work well now, but it's just... not good.

Every app is like this - barely functional.
It's stripped to the max, but I doubt that reverse conducting igbts would cost extra $500.
Yes. the problem is visuals accompanying live music performance. Even if that particular computer is not being used for music, many of the visuals are reactive.
Awesome! There was a commercial jet caught in the imagery of Downtown San Mateo for about a year, and I always loved looking at it when I was looking up an address. It's cool how much more pronounced the separate RGB is - It was pretty clear even on that commercial jet, but it's very psychedelic here.

You mean an ISP? No, Akamai isn't an ISP.

Cookiebot is unambiguously using its own trustworthiness to let Akami access their users' personal data. There's nothing fuzzy or dubious here.

The only news is that what many people expected to be perfectly legal, that is doing that with a confidentiality clause and never having the data leave the EU actually wasn't, because of a different detail.

1. Those will probably use SDL which has got support for wayland CSD: https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/pull/4068

2. Wine apps will probably have to draw the win32 decorations. Native apps can implement their own decorations or can use GTK or Qt to draw their decorations.

3. Qt does have its own CSD decorations, VLC should be able to use that. Intellij is a Java app so I'm not sure about that one but Thunderbird should use GTK decorations. The rest are Electron apps and Electron has a PR open for CSD: https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/29618

A system tray can be added to GNOME with an extension.

4. GTK is not a cross platform toolkit like Qt where it tries to draw everything with native widgets, but it is a portable toolkit meaning that you can port applications to other platforms and they will more or less look the same. I don't know anyone using it ship Windows applications, some improvements have been made to get it working better on Windows though: https://www.collabora.com/news-and-blog/blog/2021/03/18/buil...
> if we want something that can reach more than a few thousand people, there needs to be some kind of economic incentive

The problem is that when you start measuring on "reaching more than a few thousand people" instead of "is creating a lot of economic incentive", cryptocurrency experiments around building communities also start to look pretty bad in practice.

I have yet to see any general-user social platform built on top of cryptocurrency amass the same amount of mainstream success as Mastodon. And Mastodon is comparatively tiny when stacked up against Twitter/Facebook, it should be the low-hanging fruit. But at least Mastodon is a platform that seems to have somewhat evolved past the initial "the only people using this are the people who built it or who are invested in it" phase. On the protocol level, look at stuff like Matrix; it's got very little incentive built in to get you to run your own platform, and yet... it still kinda looks like it's beating blockchain networks at being actually useful.

A lot of crypto spaces/experiments have a lot of money moving through them. But the ratio of money to users/disruption seems to be really low. So sure, crypto has an interesting approach to incentivizing economic investment, but at a certain point I start to question whether those incentives actually result in generalized, successful platforms that tons of everyday people are using. It unfortunately is starting to seem like the incentive structures attract a lot of capital and a lot of eyes that are either hostile to the overall goals of decentralization, or at least that the attention doesn't seem to be providing the kind of value/structure required to get non-invested, non-capital-focused general users to join in.

Some of the other answers here appear to be "just don't do it," which I don't think is helpful. I also struggle with the Joneses.

For me, it helps to hold in my mind what the Joneses have to do in order to be the Joneses. It may look like the Kardashians got super rich off doing nothing, but instead they consented to having cameras in their life all the time. There's no taking a long nap on a Saturday and not doing anything. They are constantly doing something to stay entertaining, and that seems exhausting to me.

On a closer-to-me level, I have some friends who are engineers at hedge funds in New York. I really love New York and I get jealous thinking about making fintech money there. But then if I chat a little more I realize that most of them are working 10-12 hour days on the regular, their apartment is either way out of downtown or it's super tiny with no room for personal projects.

However, I also have some friends who are super into their fitness and their travel. And I do try to keep up with them, because that lifestyle is appealing to me. I'll track them on social media and try to push myself to take more vacations and work out harder. They're my inspiration.

To keep myself grounded, I don't just think about keeping up with the Joneses, I think "am I willing to do what it takes to be a Jones?" Yes - some folks got lucky and fell into a pile of money. Most didn't. Sometimes I'm willing to do what it takes to be a Jones, sometimes I'm not.
Prioritizing and learning about marketing is important.

But I think it is a leap to go from there to taking formal business courses.

Many MBAs (I suspect most) will tell you that what they learned there doesn't remotely make up for the cost in time or money of attending. (Most of those pleased with their experience will focus on the networking and career opportunities that opened up to them).

In my experience, most business knowledge is acquired much faster by combining actual practice with learning and a good feedback loop (and in many cases, practice and a feedback loop alone outperform formal education).

I believe that this is especially true of many aspects of marketing. You learn things when you are ready to learn them. Important marketing lessons that are found in textbooks will go in one ear and out the other without experience that allows you to recognize their importance.

I suppose this is why the case method remains popular in many business schools, although I have no confident opinion about its effectiveness.

Bottom line: Its is important to prioritize marketing. But taking courses on it has far lower returns that teaching yourself: so low that I do not recommend it at all.
The quibble is people saying something similar to "this orange dot is as bad as having half the screen taken up by goatse!" and then when someone else says "it's not actually that bad though, right?" they say "it IS THAT BAD!!" And I'm like, "I get that you're mad, but it's really not actually as bad as you're saying". That's not a semantics debate.
I understand where you’re coming from, but in my experience, “Do-ocracy” implies a kind of passive consensus mechanism. Let’s say we all have collective ownership of a garden, and it’s starting to need weeding, but nobody’s taken the initiative to fix it yet. In do-ocratic fashion, someone announces that this coming Sunday is Weeding Party day, and that catalyzes action.

It’s tricky. “Weeding Party Day” will succeed if everyone has been made to see this is desirable, and if the person has charisma or a track record or seems well organized. But it’s a dance between collective will and individual will.

With “bulldozery” I think Vitalik is describing an extreme case where some entity is completely unfettered. A dictator decides it’s Weeding Party day, or an all-powerful council, or even a single individual goes and pays for a weeding crew and reaps the rewards themselves. So at this extreme point we find everything from The Great Leap Forward to the enclosure of the commons by capitalists or the seizing of lands by colonists.

Action and will for its own sake have long been associated with fascism; many people long for a strongman to clear away all the objections to “greatness”. But the tendency exists in all kinds of people, I think, it’s just that their desires for sweeping reform aren’t as violent.
“Bug” meaning “insect” is a North Americanism [0]. The article is from The Guardian in the UK, where the non-insect meaning is the more natural interpretation, particularly in a headline (cf “hospital superbug” for stories about MRSA [1]).

I am all for features which help the user to control the users privacy. Having a LED with the web cam for example is a very good thing. Though it doesn't tell you what is accessing it and recording you against your will...

It totally makes sense to display those privacy notifications in the desktop UI. However, when an app goes to full-screen mode, the OS shouldn't interfere with the display by default. There are plenty of szenarios, where the program needs to be able to control every single pixel of the screen.
It's ok. Give it a few weeks, people will get used to it and several apps will pop up on other platforms so you can pretend you have expensive Mac.
Thanks! What do you use for editor tooling, REPL setups, testing, etc.? Also describe your workflow if you can. I know this might mean a longer reply but I'd appreciate it ;)
In the early years just after Faraday invented the electric motor in 1821, everything was custom. There we no established norms for wire, insulation, etc. Those only happened after sufficient practice in the art made the optimums, in 1883 according to Wikipedia.

It wasn't until 1924 that the modern circuit breaker was invented to protect electrical circuits from overload.

---

The computer was invented circa 1946 by Von Neuman. It was back ported to the ENIAC, which made the machine much slower, but easier to program. Since that time, many standards have emerged, EBCDIC, ASCII, UTF-8, etc. All the basic technologies are in wide use, so standardization occurred. What we don't have yet is the equivalent to fuses or circuit breakers, or the common household outlet.

We have no way of allocating only certain resources to a computing problem, and being sure of the lack of side effects. In effect, no standard for insulation from side effects.

---

All of this written to point out that nobody has a sure way to prevent unwanted side effects from a given line of code, and we're building stacks upon stacks of layers. Someone is going to have to sort this mess out and build standardized, UL certified (or equivalent) components for connecting up data sources and sinks. (Events are data, with timestamps)

Once that happens, some of us will be the ones turning out modules, and the rest of us will be electricians, hooking all the bits together. I expect there will always be a need for programming, as we know it now, because it takes a rich expressive grammar to make interesting and useful things happen the first time. Once it's figured out, in can be productized, and shipped.

Not exactly. imo and just a perspective, but code review is one method of KT.
Sending someone a document can also be a method of KT.

Code review for KT is one thing. Code review for finding bugs is another. Code review for following style guidelines is yet another.

I would like to use a baseline style guideline for JS is anyone aware of one that isn't too huge?
