Cool, I believe russia recently blocked tor project main website, to prevent users from downloading tor bowser from clearnet.

Calling the oldest trade in the world “late stage capitalism” seems kind of humorous. There’s nothing fundamentally new with OF, except scaling, and it’s not dead in the many places that have both legal prostitution and casual bars are everywhere.
The opposite is also true and more dangerous: it means you'll need medical attention sooner or later.
> The best move is to add cables where possible.

Can't recommend this enough. WiFi is great for mobility but it's just not that reliable. For anything that doesn't have to be moving, pull some ethernet to it and be happy for the long haul.
Not sure how this applies, especially to Scandinavia. Sweden has lots of hydro, Norway has hydro, gas & oil.

Russia also needs European money, since most of their budget is energy export, that’s why even at the peak of cold war they kept selling gas to Western Europe. Sure, they can use gas to bully smaller countries and manipulate the gas market, but at the end of the day, they’ll keep the pipelines flowing.

This is not new either, Russia’s used gas to threaten/pressure their neighbouring countries for 2 decades now. Yet almost all of them have consistently reduced imports/exports with Russia.

I've never heard the phrase a natural walker or natural talker, but I have heard the phrase natural athlete, and for someone to be a natural athlete they have to be sort of good at athletic type things.
E.g. "Das Vakzin von BioNTech sei der Mercedes und der von Moderna der Rolls-Royce, sagte Spahn."

This came out the moment that the deliveries of BionTech were low. Weekly estimates are available at

> https://www.bundesgesundheitsministerium.de/fileadmin/Dateie...

The recommendations usually follow that curve. And given the current availability: good luck getting a BionTech shot.

Related: I am pretty happy how open the underlying data is. Data quality is sometimes shit (hey RKI/Gesundheitsämter, looking at you) but overall the stuff is open.

It's obviously mutating all the time. But if a particularly lethal version mutated into being it would quickly kill the host, thus not spreading far, if at all.

Thus natural selection optimises for forms that spread but don't kill.
jellyfin completely replaced Kodi for me. much more reliable overall and useful across devices.
> Faster is always better.

For wifi faster isn't always better if there's nowhere to go. That is, if the uplink from home isn't itself faster.
> Truly deadly virus's don't kill a lot of people. Evolutionally speaking, it's not to their advantage to do so

The Black Death (1) and the Spanish Flu would like to have a word. Humans eventually evolved sufficient immunity to defend against the pathogen, but significant proportions of the population died before that happened.

(1) not a virus, IIRC, but the same evolutionary pressures should apply
You're right: I have fasted for 15 days a couple years ago: after that everything tasted absolutely amazing!
She never made an allegation of sexual assault. Her post was deliberately interpreted incorrectly to stoke anti China propaganda.

The funny thing is that Western propaganda has become as predictable and crass as old style Chinese propaganda.

Not OP, so I don't have the full context, but here's an example I can think of where telling him isn't a good idea:

Depending on that lead's personality he may "go over your head" and start complaining directly to _your_ boss. Which means you'll be dragged into yet another 30+ minute meeting when your schedule is already packed with meetings.

Part of your job as a middle manager is to not only shield people below you from unnecessary drama, but shield people above and beside you from unnecessary drama also.

This is where you have to use your past experiences with each individual person to gauge how to act. Do this for long enough, and grinding leetcode an hour a night for 2 months and just going back to moving tickets left to right at a FAANG company for (oftentimes) more money starts looking appealing.

But then you have some days where everything goes great, a major project is shipped without any issues, and/or you're able to (finally) give a promotion to someone who deserves it which makes it all worth it.

I ended up switching into speaking/training. All the pros of management (mentoring people, getting to speak) all the pros of coding (coding training materials is fun and simple, zero tech debt to worry about) and less responsibility on both sides.
Nope.

So I found that the only way to get a media solution was to compromise.

I thought I needed a media server / streamer. Not sure why. Maybe because I started with Plex years ago, and that's what it is. I dropped Plex because I don't trust them, and they force me to log into their service.

I switched to Jellyfin because it's the most recommended alternative (and is a more 'free' fork of Emby). But I thought it was garbage. It had extremely slow media indexing, to the point where it was unusable. What made that worse was that there was no feedback in the UI telling me what files it was choking on, and its logs are abysmal. It's basically a black box, and it just gets stuck constantly. After about 2 weeks flogging a dead horse I gave up.

Right now I run Kodi on a raspberry pi 4, which sits behind my TV. It's not a server or streamer, it's a media player. But you know what? That's fine. Because it just works. It's hooked up to a 4TB USB disk. It boots off an m2 SSD in a USB enclosure. I ditched the chromecast, and installed an Android app to control Kodi. Best part is that it's just a computer with all my media on it so I can just use a keyboard+mouse and navigate to files if I want.

If I wanted a 2nd or 3rd TV, honestly I'd just duplicate the setup and use Syncthing to keep media in sync between them, giving the added benefit of data redundancy.

Technically it doesn't - people don't die Of Aids they die With Aids.

But that's semantics. The point is that Aids has a long time between infection and death, thus encouraging spread.
Comparing nuclear with solar/wind has always been a false comparison. In order to make a fair comparison one would need to combine storage with solar/wind, and in latitudes for Finland this would mostly mean wind with storage capacity in terms of months.

The alternative is fossil fuels in combination with wind/solar, the most cost effective grid that currently exist. During optimal weather conditions renewables are the cheapest energy on the planet, and during non-optimal weather conditions fossil fuels is usually the cheapest energy that can meet demand.

Living in Sweden, I am slightly hopeful that the nuclear plant in Finland might reduce the need to run the oil power plant located in southern parts of Sweden. The oil power plant is the single highest contributor for carbon emissions in the south of Sweden, despite the fact that Sweden mostly operate on hydro and nuclear. 70 tons of oil per hour goes up in smoke in a time where the oil need to stay in the ground. More solar/wind will not have much of an effect on this oil power plant since it only operates during non-optimal weather conditions. Currently we are several weeks in with a weather of low wind conditions, with energy prices skyrocketing as a result. The Finish project had some good luck in term of timing by turning on the nuclear power plant right in the middle of exceptional high energy prices.
> Thus natural selection optimises for forms that spread but don't kill.

It may also find an unlucky local optimum where it shows no symptoms for a period while already being highly transmissible and then slowly kill or leave the survivors with permanent damage.
Gandi. Never experienced any bullcrap with them, but I only use their domains and the accompanying mail-solution.
Thanks! Maybe one day as an optimization step. Right now focus is to generate code that is closest to the design as possible.
How does this work? Where is the media hosted?

Chromecast nearly cracks this problem, but playing local media has always needed weird fragile browser extensions in my experience.

Exactly, why would a court permit that? Isn't it standard that evidence obtained illegally is not permissible in court?
Ah, and...

KW49, 2021-12-06 until 2021-12-12 had originally 3M BionTech shots available, with KW50 blocked for kids. At the same time 10M Moderna shots were available, or 20M booster shots.

2 weeks earlier, when those order volumes became clear, Spahn advertises for Moderna.

A few weeks later and we got an extra 3M BionTech shots.

Official medical sources have been clear. But StiKo & politicians an thus media communication is skewed.
Depends on what kind of disaster you're prepping for. In a severe disaster, you may not have power/gas for cooking, may not have much access to clean water, and may not be able to leave your home or have assistance come to you if roads are out. MREs don't require any water to prepare the main entrees, don't require any cooking, and have shelf lives of at least 5 years from the packing date (longer if stored at low temperature), and are meant to be easily transportable if you do have to evacuate in a hurry.

That being said, MREs are kind of overkill. The US military also uses called first-strike rations (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Strike_Ration) each of which are half the weight of the 3 MREs they replace and that are mostly centered around stabilized sandwiches and wraps. The manufacturer of those sandwiches, Bridgford, also sells to the civilian market: https://www.bridgford.com/readytoeat/ If you don't mind the much more limited menu (it's a disaster after all), a case of those sandwiches will keep a person fed for a couple weeks for much less than the cost and space of MREs.
802.11n with 5 GHz is okayish, but using 2.4 GHz can be brutal. It's not just the bandwidth, the whole frequency band is just bad. My latency regularly goes through the roof and voice calls are noticeably worse than with 5 GHz wifi.

802.11ac mandates 5 GHz, so it's a reasonable baseline. I don't even care if it's SISO, MIMO or whatever as long as I don't have to fall back to 2.4 GHz.
>how do we convince you that we don't share your data with your employer?

On the top of your privacy policy, put a big fucking banner that plainly indicates that you don't now and never will.

But seriously, we now live in an era where the only rational assumption is Zero Trust: that everything about you that can be gleaned, can and will be sold.

Specifically though, isn't this considered HIPPA "protected" data?
The scope gets bloated and the app unfocused. Most people wouldn’t read eBooks or comics from a big screen interface for example, but use a dedicated app for that. Keeping a cinema app primarily focused on video means it is leaner and meaner for the majority use case.
It is important to understand that our intelligence community folks are not only actively pushing their own disinformation, and stifling narratives and alternative channels that they don't want you to hear, but also sponsoring false-flag staged events as well. So "false news" doesn't simply just happen; sometimes it has a multi-million dollar budget behind it. See: Weapons of Mass Destruction; 2 planes bring down 3 buildings; Pure: Ten Points I Just Can’t Believe About the Official Skripal Narrative; moon of alabama bounty on US soldiers; etc. etc.
> There's also a lot more infected who has received two or three doses compared to Delta.

Might be. At this point I am not motivated to dig into the numbers any more. The important questions, in that regard, for those that are interested is: How many of these of confirmed Omicron cases are double, how many are triple vaccinated? How many people overall are vaccinated? How many confirmed Omicron cases are unvaccinated? Followed by looking at the timeline between positive test / Omicron confirmation and hospitalization and ultimately death.

I said it in 2020, in early 2021 and will say it until the day it changes: That nobody in charge is able to give weekly briefings based on hard numbers, properly explaining those I have close to zero confidence the people in charge have this thing under control. And this lack of explanation is one, IMHO the, root cause of the confusion and frustration out there.
The general concept seems good (mutually agreed reductions in defense spending) but the massive UN slush fund seems like a minus.

One thing you can do is `push $05` which only needs 2 bytes. The idea of using the x86 stack instructions to construct cons cells is potentially brilliant. I experimented with it a little bit. Couldn't make it work. For example, here's how it changes certain aspects of the implementation:

Cons: xchg %sp,%cx # Cons(m:di,a:ax):ax
push %di
push %ax
xchg %sp,%cx
mov %cx,%di
xchg %di,%ax
ret

Apply: ...
xchg %cx,%sp
Pairlis:test %di,%di # Pairlis(X:di,Y:si,a:dx):ax
jz 1f # for x,y in zip(X,Y)
push (%bx,%di) # (- . y)
push (%bx,%si) # (x . y)
push %sp # ((x . y))
push %dx # ((x . y) . a)
mov %sp,%dx # a = ((x . y) . a)
mov (%si),%si
mov (%di),%di
jmp Pairlis
1: xchg %cx,%sp
...
Where did you end up moving to instead?

I really appreciate the idea, but with the given subset I really like to know more about the use case. The only one I can think about is icons. Considering that there is no animation support, only two point gradients and no text support (as far as I understand the spec), that rules tinyvg out for pretty much 95% of what I use vector graphics for.

If I want to have use those features I now need two (or more) formats, which kind of defeats the point of a less complicated format, for size, complexity and security reasons.

Indeed. It's also worth mentioning that the very inexpensive Digital TV tuner "just works" (at least in Europe) and with tvheadend you can then stream the live stream around your home network trivially. That's what the rpi4 running Kodi in our bedroom does at least. The streams are so in sync that you can listen to them on two separate devices in other bits of the house without an audio phase difference.

Kodi is an amazing project and deserves much praise.

Offtopic, it takes me 6 clicks to access google maps (click to “customize” privacy options, select “off” three times, “continue”, and “use web” when asked about downloading an app). I’m on iOS and use safari in private mode. How are others dealing with this? Do you accept the terms or do you do something different?
And as I understand, this is already an old design (they started building it in the 00s).
My point is that none of this new or novel. Avoiding it is also near impossible unless you make restrictive life choices.
I mean, this is pretty much the explanation for share price movements, so, yeah it should be for everything else.

Think of evolution as an optimization algorithm that finds organisms for ecological niches.

The monophyletic grouping approach tells you something about the path through solution space taken by the algorithm.

The paraphyletic approach instead focuses on properties of the solutions.

I think it's fine to think of those as equally valid.
Just dig out the numbers and realize this project is as expensive and uneconomic as every other of our +50year history record before..

And as if this was the only problem and it hadn't a lot of huge others, nuclear proponents will use this now as an example how nuclear is the way out of the climate crisis, and how comparing nuclear with renewables is wrong..

No, the best future would be neither fossil nor nuclear.
Hey, i have a question regarding your projects! and before that, i am a huge fan of redbean, this is so cool! as long as the world has also people like you with that cool stuff in it, there's still some fun and hope in the world.

but for the question: for your projects, do you have like a stable buildplatform (like nixos, minimal debian stable or sth like that) for which you publish your build instructions for your project?
Why don’t you get the jab? It would be strictly better to have both.
I hope the day comes when we can put all of them on trial for crimes against humanity.
Broadly speaking: a ruminant is a subset of ungulates. Well, technically too.

Ungulates have hooves (horses, pigs, camels, cows, etc). Ruminants are ungulates that eat grasses in a somewhat unique way, by partially fermenting it in their gut, and horking it back up for another good chew or three (cows, giraffes, deer, antelopes, etc).

And I say "broadly" and "somewhat" because, to intentionally misrepresent the article's title, there's no such thing as a tree (of ancestry/relationships). Camels also ferment food in their gut but aren't ruminants, as do (I assume) other kinds of animals. There are a lot of parallel evolutions, genetic crossovers, and general muddying with any kind of attempted high-level grouping of creatures.

Did you know ungulates include whales, for instance? You know, those hoofed, herbivorous aquatic mammals that people are so fond of. But not seahorses. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ungulate

Taxonomies are weird. And it only gets weirder as we dig into them more and more, and keep making adjustments and corrections.

I think Russia is commonly excluded from "Europe" simply because only a small part of it is in Europe and the rest is not. Bundling it in would've caused Europe overlap with Asia and that's just confusing.
Nice to see this analysis, though as someone who plays these games and appreciates the humor found in many of them, I still am on the balance displeased they've taken so much time and attention. I make up for it by recommending them to others, a wanton and destructive act. :)

Antimatter Dimensions is a funny exemplar of the genre that takes several months to complete, with bursts of attention to progress during transitions alternating with long periods of gradual improvement that require infrequent attention. http://ivark.github.io/

Antimatter Dimensions is a good example of idle game design because reading a game guide will actually increase the burden of the game by increasing the frequency and intensity of active play--knowing less will slow your progress by months but let you do your job and see your family.
I like how you skipped BC's data manipulation. And yes, vaccines reduce deaths but not new cases. Expect another massive wave in Canada (already started) and another round of lockdowns...just like 2021.

That'd be my company. We've had Zig in production for more than a year now, and it has gone remarkably smoothly - if you're ever using public transport in northern Europe or Germany there's a non-negligible chance that there's some embedded device running Zig code in it that's logging GPS and route data.
Thanks for sharing your experience. I don't like Plex's telemetry aspects either and am pretty much focused on my own content (e.g. I don't really use Plex TV or other streaming bits). In addition to what I mentioned about my library organization needs, I just need to be able to view/search my content easily (Plex's default grid layout and sorting/filtering options are pretty well done in this regard e.g. being able to sort by Date Added/Release Date etc) and view them on my TV via using Chromecast (Plex's android client is far from perfect but gets the basic job done). If a solution covers these aspects well enough without having to share telemetry, I'll drop Plex in a heartbeat.
Maybe it's bad luck, maybe you're a fiddler? I've been using Kodi since first release on original xbox, when it was XBMC. I set it up like only a handful of times since, only when I installed new machine - it was original xbox, then a soare laptop, then a spare comouter, rpi3 and now latest being rPi4. OpenELEC image, a few plugins, youtube key and that's it. I enjoy it for having access to my video library, those few plugins and a single (TV) remote since it leaped from xbox to normal computers.

Only thing I don't like about it is that Netflix isn't on it.. but that's hardly Kodi's fault.
It seems they don't want unicode strings as part of the language, at best as a library. But unless there's a single sactioned one, this will not end well.

And this is met with answers like "just avoid string handling" from the language designers...

It's probably because they don't work in any related domain, and even less so have to do with international strings (except as byte buckets they don't care about and don't have to do anything do).
