LOL, some people do seem to signal technical prowess by their use of Arch.

Personally I'm quite fed up with having to read a treatise on the entire display stack and it's history with electron guns, modelines, etc, when I go searching for how to simply change the screen resolution. This seems to be a problem with linux in general, but Arch is, um, the archetype, IMHO.

Says who? You've just ignored the trustless part of cryptocurrency, what are you left with?

I get the hypothetical of why [cryptocurrency of choice] could be useful, even if I don't subscribe to the idea of a trustless society functioning.

But if you sidestep the one thing it's laboriously designed for (trustless by PoW, or stake/other), why even bother?

The linked article says people thought Street View was a live feed of their houses. This is pure conjecture coming from a single person, and sounds like a massive straw-man.

I know several people who have blocked their houses on Google and absolutely none of them had this assumption. Anecdotal, I know, but in the article there is zero data backing that assertion.
I use a completely black image as my desktop background just to avoid the background light around windows with dark/night mode (the impact is more pronounced at night because I like to turn-off the lights in my room at night while using the computer). Also makes watching movies nicer when I don't want them full screen.
Whether you think it's a good thing or a bad thing, I think eventually sites will look at their viewership from specific countries with additional regulations and simply geoblock them if the economic cost of compliance is more than the advertising gained from them.
I wouldn't approach this problem from a technical direction.

If there is a browser based vendor agnostic opt-in popup for user tracking (not only cookies) you can outlaw and severely punish attempts to circumvent that.

Given the time and resources courts really dislike the "welllll technically..." Argument.
Yeah it's not the same trial-and-error as, say, making a basic Rails web app.

You're making some ridiculous assertions that do not reflect reality in any way. If a business pays a commission to a service it utilizes, that is a cost. If the viewer is paying $5 and Twitch takes $2.50, it COSTS me $2.50 to participate in their system.

Whereas, what you're suggesting is that the expense magically doesn't even exist, simply because you didn't need to pay it up front. Except that's not how anything works.
No, I meant how does the booster effect reduces over time.

The effectiveness of the first two over time went down much quicker than initially anticipated. The question is if the 3rd shot is somehow different.
In a summary: everything is contingent, there is no apriori truth (in mathematical sense).

What happens when a science confronts its own technical flaws, logical inconsistencies and lack of coherence? M. Kline (loss of certainty), I. Prigogine (end of certainty), R. Laughlin (different universe) and many more thinkers. it is humbling and awe-inspiring at the same time to live in times where many competent fellow humans provide enough material wealth to have time (and socio-political freedom in several areas of science) even to ponder these things and get a chance to misunderstand fundamental nature of things on ever more deeper level.
Really? I found the Pixel 5 to be on the small side, but the Pixel 6 is pretty large and unwieldy (imo) by comparison.

Also, the Xperia 5 series is their "smaller size" flagship. It's larger than the Pixel 5, but a fait bit smaller than the Pixel 6. Still a bit large for my tastes.
Unfortunately this only applies to "unmanaged" tenants which are no longer associated with another active tenant.
My case is different: the previous domain name owner still exists as a MS 365 tenant.
Those are just property wrappers; another feature of the language accessible to everyone.
Yes, it's actually the main use case for these "headless" CMS systems like Sanity, Contentful, Strapi, etc. Even Wordpress can be used as an editor only with content pulled via API into some other system or build process so that the website/frontend is completely separated from the content.

Search for "headless cms" and you'll find countless articles about this.
An interesting visit if you are ever in Berlin is the “Unveiled. Berlin and its Monuments” exhibition in the Spandau Zitadelle.

https://www.zitadelle-berlin.de/en/museums/unveiled/

It houses at least three era of statues which have been removed by past generations -

- Figures of the history of Brandenburg, erected during the German imperial era and removed by the National-socialist regime,

- National-socialist statues, removed during the process of de-nazification,

- Communist statues from the DDR era, removed post re-unification.
Yeah though credit card processors don't have dusting attacks and smart contracts to deal with, so it probably balances out.

> Live exactly as we lived before March 2019, with the small exceptions of using mask in gatherings or closed spaces, voluntary vaccination, specially to people with comorbidities.

For what it's worth and to let my opinion be clear: I don't think that's yet possible :/.

> Other than that, just not being bombarded with covid stats every single minute would be a huge improvement for the mental well-being of the population.

I do agree the media and the politics relying on the media "to inform the people" are fucking things up in a way I couldn't believe they could. There's almost 0 actionable or relevant information in what they broadcast 24/7.
Wouldn't x86 have the higher code density?

https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=56207 "Finding an IA-32 CPU most like the MIPS R3000A"

"a 40MHz MIPS R3000 gets 18.1 MFLOPS, while a 66MHz 486DX2 only gets 3.1 MFLOPS. So, the MIPS is downright Pentium-class for floating-point code. For integer code, the MIPS R3000/40 manages a score of 22.6 in SPECINT89, while the 486DX2/66 gets 34.0"

So its also only "Pentium-class" for floating point math, not for integer.
There is no single unified math notation. Different fields of mathematics use the same notation to mean different things, and many mathematicians use different notations to mean the same things. Worse, the notations that most mathematicians use are ambiguous; they often leave out critical information merely because the writer can assume that the reader is human, and can puzzle those things out from the context. When we are programming, we do not have that luxury.

The book Structure and Interpretation of Classical Mechanics uses both a modified traditional notation as well as runnable Scheme throughout. I recommend reading at least the preface:

Look for companies that hire globally remote but are not explicitly targeting “low-cost” countries with their job ads (those that do are trying to make the salary arbitrage work on their benefit, you are trying to make it work on your benefit).

Look for American companies. They pay much better than companies even from other rich countries like UK and Germany.

Skip agencies and software shops in general because their core product is to arbitrage developer salaries. Look for startups, ideally funded ones.

Look for smaller companies because they are more likely to hire people from outside the US in a contractor agreement. 100% of the companies with more than, say, 500 employees that I approached or approached me hire remote in the US only.

Check if they hire globally remote in the first email. A lot of companies are not explicit about it in the job description but their remote is “remote in the US only” (remember that you are looking at companies advertising their jobs to Americans).

I had good luck applying to jobs from HN’s “Who is hiring?” thread. You might find something on Angellist and at YCombinator’s “Work at a startup”, but I learned that in those places I am less likely to even get a response from my application. Worth a try though.

My suggestion would be to wait next Who is hiring thread and be very diligent about reading all posts and applying quickly to the jobs that are a fit for you.

That's excellent, it's these type of arguments that get too little attention when digital "privacy" gets discussed today.
No, mate. Hell is mom and grandma dyeing by slowly being suffocated.

Full lockdown is just a major inconvince.
>"The reason to allow data transfer to the US for (arguably) trivial data is that a private entity might choose Akamai as their subjectively best option"

And what if it's China/Russia, and its 'best' because it pays for private data? Does the argument still hold?

At the end of the day, this is simple: is it my data, or not? If it's my property, why should someone elae have freedom over it?
>I prefer it, been a CSD user since before CSD itself, with Winamps rolled up UI.

That is it, but somehow you don't see it??? I mean is so obvious///
You could have Winamp or you could have an application with a window in the form of a circle but this days GNOME decided that you can ONLY have CSD and old apps that use SSD or non-GNOME apps that use SSD should switch to SSD... so you ahve 2 issues

1 GNOME is removing the option to have both SSD and CSD , and forces you into CSD only

2 GNOME does not provide(maybe things changed and someone forced those arrogant bastards to support some legacy app that RedHat needs) any support for SSD apps.
A huge part is companies rejecting simpler solutions.

For example, you can use latest systemd to basically replace all of docker and then some. It provides advanced sandboxing, resource control and job control for units and even manages "containers". Which is why my private servers mostly use systemd properly configured to provide what containers are thought to provide. The deployment is switching out a binary or add a directory tree, override a .service line and then reload and restart. Easy.

Though over a 10 year period, companies, developers and operators went all-in on "container runtimes" and here we are.

That being said, things like kubernetes are NOT NEW and NOT DIFFERENT from solutions like corosync+pacemaker (who remembers them?). They do the same thing, with the same levels of flexibility and extensibility and pluggability, just with containers. From my POV people who are surprised by k8s and its complexity never lived or forgot the cluster tech of the 00s. It's just about to come together as a circle, and the next iteration seems to be micro VMs instead of containers.
I assume it refers to investment needed to create a system which would make hunger hit areas able to feed themselves, which would cure hunger world wide over the long term.
It's a simplification, but the difference is probably that as a beginner you're searching "how to do this thing with this lib". The experienced dev is probably searching "how does this lib work", and will figure out "how to do this thing" by themselves once their mental model of the lib is more accurate
There are already many cross-game implementations:

1- Taking money

2- Having Achievements and API's on Steam

3- Accepting OAuth login

4- Supporting non-standard inputs like joysticks

And interestingly you could implement 3/4 items above with NFT's alone with some benefits:

1- No store commissions

2- Public data/metrics on usage (that could be interpreted as achievements)

3- No country, age or identity restrictions
Easy, just make it a federal standard
Chat 3rd Party Service
Hi all,

Can anyone recommend me a 3rd party chat tool/service on cloud that I can integrate and use within my application?

The application will be done in java or .NET, still not decided.

I know it's a broad question, but just wandering if anyone have any recommendation.
It’s not a tax..
It’s part of the spectrum, various people are talking about various ideas and implementations.

> So that said, eventually masks and social distancing will lose relevance, as case numbers will drop, and the real goal of masks and social distancing, reducing hospital overloads, will go away.

I think it'd be interesting to wait and see if keeping those measures in place , even if covid threats magically disappeared overnight, would reduce other infections (common cold, flu, etc.).
Based on my own experiences and of those close to me, I'd say going to a therapist which works can indeed be very, very helpful. The problem is finding a therapist that works for you.

I had one which changed job, and the replacement just did not work. I have a good friend who's finally found one, after trying five others over the span of several years. I've got some other friends who never found one that worked for them and thus never got anything out of it.

Of course, one which works for me might not work for you, it's highly individual and might even be case-specific.

Māori “Ways of Knowing”
> No phychotherapy please. I won't go near their arrogance.

Well, psychotherapy is what worked for me. What exactly types of arrogance did you encounter with therapists? Were they certified?

You can try many of things that a therapist would suggest: cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), dialectical behavioural therapy (DBT) or just general mindfulness. Basically work on detecting when you are about to blow up and handle it.

As other posters have suggested; exercise and meditation.

> I'm talking about doing the bare minimum so that I don't cause myself and the people around me extra problems.

Bare minimum may not help here. You might have some underlying impairment of executive function like ADHD or a spectrum disorder.
I never understood why I never listened to podcasts. But you explained it to me - I hate doing two things at once, because it means I do them both badly.
For GDPR both localStorage, fingerprinting and other methods are all equal to cookies. Even IP tracking is the same as a cookie.

"Cookie Banner" is just tech-jargon for these banners, but an incorrect one.
No we don't, why do we "have to" accept it?
You put a large emphasis on the idea that I have invested in cryptocurrencies and that I'm hence arguing for that.

But even if I had, wouldn't you equally be a shill for having invested in companies that merely exist for the sake of cryptographic functionality? Do you think any FAANG would be able to exist without cryptography? Do you hold any kind of stock? Because if so, your incentives aren't likely more inspiring than mine.
Of course you need experience as an engineer. But knowing which Javascript libraries to pick is the easy part. I was not saying that you don't need experience, but you don't need much Javascript / Typescript experience. This can be done in a few months.
How to Make Your Own Karaoke with Free Software
Recently, I started experimenting with the prospect of turning some music that I had made into karaoke. I was curious about whether it was possible to do entirely with Free Software, and what the karaoke landscape looked like out here on Linux. So, here's a breakdown of what that exploration ended up looking like, along with a final result and some thoughts!
Order of Assasins
Why is it three? Why can’t they make it effective with one vaccine? Hmm maybe because three vaccines is 3x the revenue they get vs. from one vaccine. They’re just not incentivized for our long term health and well being. It is a pure capitalism.
Hey, sorry maybe I'm new to this thing you call internet rage, but yesterday was the first time I heard anything about algebra being cancelled and now it seems to be all the cool kids talk.
Is that a real thing? Because last week I was at a redneck bar here in Oregon when a lady swore to me up and down that California had just legalized child abuse, and her husband literally had to look up the law to shut her up. The law was that judges would have discretion whether to put certain offenders on a permanent sex offender list - presumably to mitigate against 17 year olds being branded for life for consenting acts with other 17 year olds. Once the lady realized this applied to her 18 yo boy with a 16 yo girlfriend, she stopped talking about what she knew nothing about.

In California if you want your kid to learn algebra... or basic communication skills... you send em to a private school or teach them at home. But I still don't buy this sudden terror of algebra being removed from school. Cite the source.
Id we dont enforce privacy for 200 years, then he'd have a point
It is new to me, but raises a concern that they could only review for general engineering quality, not whether or not a PR is appropriate to a codebase. How would they know if the same problem has already been solved elsewhere, that no wheels are being re-invented, or that a PR is stepping on the toes of something else the team is working on.

Because that is the value I've found in code reviews - not generic "is this code elegant?", but "does this code play well with what everyone else is doing?"
I expected the section titled 'CSS is a solved problem' to talk about modern CSS features like CSS Grid and variables. Instead, the article declares the popular framework Tailwind CSS to be the 'solved' solution.

CSS will never be nice (tolerable at best), but modern CSS makes it much easier to create layouts in modern browsers - rather than having to rely on horrible CSS layout hacks from the past.

In short, CSS is not 'solved', but modern CSS is more powerful and capable than it has ever been. If you want to take advantage of it, you simply need to put aside some time to learn it.
Web browser API's usually do keep their invariants. I wouldn't use libraries which don't. Libraries which do not support TypeScript will vanish. See, all your experience (in a limited field) is telling you the wrong thing.

And it is quite obvious to me that you need to know BOTH TypeScript and Javascript, of course, you cannot just learn TypeScript, because it is just a thin layer on top of Javascript without many runtime guarantees otherwise.
>At some point we must realize that exchanges are the problem, because they centralize activity [...] But i somehow think that that tech will be over time embedded in desktops and phones, we won't need exchanges.

Exchanges of some type will always exist and get re-invented as an emergent phenomenon of humans' desire for efficiency.

- a seller wants to sell something (corporate stock, or commmodity like corn or oil, or collectibles like Nike shoes, cryptocoins, etc) ... but doesn't know who the future unknown buyers will be to fetch the highest price

- a buyer wants to buy something ... but doesn't know the future unknown sellers to try and find the lowest price -- or even availability of an item at any price -- such as hard-to-find NVIDIA video cards

Those 2 forces of each side trying to maximize a marketplace will naturally re-create exchanges. Yes, they are "centralized". That's kind of the point because people value efficiency in finding each other to transact.

There is no computer science technology that lets buyers & sellers store future unknown market participants locally on their smartphones. Likewise, if you try to get around not having hubs/exchanges on a p2p network by constantly broadcasting buy/sell bids/asks, you're basically asking a billion local devices to recreate in their limited RAM a virtual "order book" of which all participants have an incomplete picture of the total market (because time limitations of network hops, latency, etc) -- which means less optimal selling & buying prices. You're also overwhelming the p2p network with traffic for "bids/asks" (pinging price queries) rather than "settlements" (finalized transactions).

In analogous desire for efficiency, this is why p2p bittorrent still has hubs like tracking servers because people want to find the files faster than waiting for cascading peer queries.

EDIT reply to: >Decentralized exchanges exist

Yes, DEX like Uniswap exist but they do not solve the same problems as centralized exchanges and market makers. There is no protocol invention or DEX that can prevent the re-emergence of centralized exchanges because there's always a gap in desirable functions (efficiency, discoverability, liquidity, convertibility, etc). E.g. convert to fiat on Uniswap not currently possible: https://www.google.com/search?q=uniswap+convert+to+fiat
I started "developing" websites with my AOL account around 1995. I registered my first domain 1996.

Now that most of the "web standards wars" have been fought and most of the new kids not even heard about Blue Beanie Day[1], to this day my best advice for single (!) amateurish developers is: a website is, what a browser interprets as such. Simply put or hack in your code and enjoy.

There is no right or wrong, only creative geniuses who put a lot of creative thinking into how to design browsers. Kudos to Zeldman for inspiring me. And kudos to all the people who simply hack in code and do not care about conventions.

If you are talking about the in-app browser, this is an interesting grey area that we should be able to define generically.
His point is that Ops time is more expensive than Dev time, they get paid more. The Dev teams should really fix their own bugs if they happen in the wee-small-hours.
Yes, you will encounter arrogance in all those professions. Just as often a professional will be called "arrogant" for telling us what we don't want to hear.
