I tried ZNC a few years ago, but the replaying of chat history, that had already been received and seen, on every connection to the bouncer was frustrating and made it feel like a bad hack. Maybe I missed an option there, but I moved onto Quassel (and Quasseldroid), which was a game changer in ease of use, but I'm not personally a terminal IRC fan so I don't miss that aspect.
First they came for the bootloaders, but I did not speak out because I did not desire to block ads.

Then they came for the memory card slots, but I did not speak out, for I streamed all my media.

Then they came for the headphone jacks, and I did not speak out, for I did not play games on my phone.

Then they came for the SIM cards, and there was no one left to speak out.
Talking about indidivual contributions is pointless without context. The richest 1% of humanity emits more than double the amount of CO2 as the poorest half.

Air travel could use alternative fuel sources (or even solar) and I'm sure other large carbon emitters like concrete will become more efficient. What I'm not sure is that the richest 1% of the globe are willing to live like everyone else to avoid cooking the planet and passing that cost onto everyone else.

I travel by plane once or twice a year, haven't had meat in years, own a car with good fuel efficiency, heat my home with gas, and it still doesn't register on the scale. If you want me to live like an ascetic to convince you that I am serious about the runaway consequences of increased average surface temperatures I don't know what to tell you. We are already seeing those effects, and it is doubtful that Miami, Dhubai, etc exist at the end of this century.

There is no way to adjust individual consumption fast enough to fully decarbonize industrial economies so as to avoid 2C+ increases. Hence the systems problem. Why is Australia and the US subsidizing fossil fuels? Who is served by firing up retired coalfire power plants to mine Bitcoin?

That's only looking at CO2, forget about our other biosphere limits (nitrogen, phosphorus to name a few) that we're rapidly approaching the ceiling of. Optimizing for profit means you have an incentive to gain today with tomorrow as collateral. Until companies and governments feel the full financial and human cost of their carbon economies we'll continue to get Chevron advertising about how it's all of our responsibility to turn off the lights when not in use, and that will somehow "turn off" climate change.
There are a bunch of charlatans on this list, which suggests a lack of consideration in the recommendations.
But why does insurance require it?
That's a very American thing.
Travel. It’s dramatically cheaper to get a local SIM. Some even come with extra benefits, like a pass for use on local mass transit.
I was thinking on this too.

Aside from a select few internet challenges that went viral for a good cause (the ice bucket challenge comes to mind), most of the challenges I've heard about are because people were getting hurt. Recently the milk crate challenge, but I recall some others as well. Something about kids eating as much raw cinnamon powder as they can?

Now, I'm definitely growing out of touch with what the youths are doing online, but is this "search for and do internet challenges" really a thing they do for fun? If so, is it something we should encourage?

With my Samsung Android phone I had to call my carrier's customer support and obtain the unlock code from them. So it wasn't unlocked automatically after it was fully paid for. When I traveled to Europe I just bought a local carrier SIM from a vending machine at the airport.

I think in many cases the old philosophers are still very readable, but make sure you get a modern translation. Publishers like to reprint 60-100 year old public domain translations, which often makes the material very inaccessible. Get a good copy from a still-breathing translator of anything like Plato and You'll likely enjoy it. Other more modenish ones:

Descartes - "Meditations"

Rawls - "lectures on the history of moral philosophy"

Or some modern ones like Alain de Botton
I’m still traveling and find swappable sims to be a fantastic advantage. I have yet to find a country that offers eSims for prepaid. European phones commonly have dual sim slots..

Just more reasons to avoid smartphones.
It doesn’t use emacs either!

>When the settlement is instant, the merchant does not need to be afraid of fraud.

There is no instant settlement between entities at different institutions. If you are in the same bank, you can pull it off because the money never leaves your books. If it does leave your books, you're riding the overnight ACH, and incurring propagation delays as the receiving bank filters the funds through process.

Remember, all networks are glorified, process driven, protocol mediated implementations of humans playing a repetitive game of telephone. The chain ain't done til everybody is done metaphorically talking.

>Regarding "fraud detection"

Let me reframe your question in a more familiar context. Fraud becomes software exploitation over an internetwork of trusted hosts. In theory, if no one was a dick... there should be no problems.

>Bitcoin paid via the lightning network is paid and can not be taken back.

This is an anti-feature in the the financial service space. In fact, a really conservative institution won't even consider a transaction truly settled til the dispute window lapses. Mistakes are made, accounts compromised. Lack of reversals or process to accommodate the work stream does not paint you in a flattering light.
Carbon charges could reasonably be applied at the supply chain level, making compliance closer to sales tax compliance than to voluntary action.
What is a "pipeline model"?

Google doesn't give me any relevant results

EDIT: Think I found an answer

Sure, but the sim doesn't have access to the main CPU, main memory, storage, or sensors (without help from an app which can just as easily leak data without help from the sim) I fail to see how it compromises security any more than an eSIM.
I took a class in TeX a long time ago and got marked off a point because I used self-modifying macros to save a variable.
Thank you! It's fascinating that I still remember the controls all these years later. One of the very few games I completed - without cheats, mind you!
Thank you for your reply. I truly appreciate the questions. We sell physical goods to both retail consumers and wholesale brick and mortar accounts for resale. Physical goods are sold by the individual unit or in bulk to wholesalers based in the United States. Some of our products are more regionally limited, with laws allowing sales in specific states only. We fulfill and ship most products the next day, with bulk orders being manufactured on demand and taking up to 6 weeks. Smaller wholesale accounts order a few thousand dollars of product a month, with larger accounts for us averaging 10k+/mo. The sales cycle has relied on incoming e-commerce leads and is usually very quick (day or two) account setup, verification, and a phone call to ensure the right product fit.

We have absolutely considered both of those hiring options. We are trying to identify and fill our weakest points first. We’re trying to avoid putting too many eggs in one basket by investing in a single point, making it difficult to decide who to hire first or how to spread out the investment wisely. Thanks again!

The ring example is interesting: if nobody actually buys it for $100000 (the best anyone else would pay is $10), then what is the 'real' value of the ring?

The only logically consistent answer is that value is always relative and subjective; 'objective' economic value is only an abstraction.
I find it a bit disingenuous to say that it runs on apple silicon if you need to modify source code. Also it's not because it compiles and starts that it's fully functional.

The main MIT Scheme page say that it's not possible and need significant efforts, so I would be curious to get a description as to why one claim it's impossible while the other show that it compiles and starts.

Are the original authors too much against M1/Apple and justify themselves ? Or does compiling on M1 sort-of works until you hit more complex features that will crash or misbehave ?

Ada has had built-in tasking for a long time, and is now also getting a built-in parallel blocks and parallel loops (iterators and for) structures in Ada 2022.
To me, this sentiment feels similar to "Oh you claim to like pizza? Can I see your wheat and tomato farm and your cattle? What, you buy those at the store? I don't think you really like pizza."
This is where policy has to be focused on the science, both environmental and medical. For example, cloth masks did little during the Delta phase of Covid (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFCYv0X4kf4). Another issue that even where people wore cloth masks, many did not wear them properly. They had their noses sticking out (which transmit more than their mouths). They had beards, which allow the virus out through air gaps caused by the hair. The States that pushed for cloth masks essentially prompted hygiene theater. Research out of Ontario shows that for men under 40, it's probably a good idea to limit the number of required boosters (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzVoS-1TIWI).

We need to take a measured approach to environmental changes too. Suddenly causing the US or any other advanced economy to have rolling blackouts will probably not help humanity in the long run. Instead it will continue the political vitriol. We can't mandate all houses have solar because that places the already expensive house out the reach of the poor, which we see happening in California.
I suspect they are suggesting a difference between working to contribute as part of the community, versus being solely to further their company's product.
data expiration features were mentioned in other comments.
I was tickled to see my 2017 article pop up here.

Lua is a somewhat odd but perfectly sane language that you can pick up in a day. With a few hooks into TeX you can be writing complex programs that manipulate your document, insert the result of calculations into the text, etc. Writing these things in TeX is insanely difficult. I’ve been using TeX literally since it became available, and I wouldn’t dare try to write anything complicated in TeX the programming language. But Lua is a breeze.

Because of this I’m a bit surprised that I haven’t seen more. One big application is the layout algorithm for network diagrams in tikz.
I'm not sure about all your use cases, but I had great success with Airalo when traveling. It was data only, but my normal Verizon number was routed through that data connection. The biggest negative was not really being able to make local calls. There's a few other companies that do the same thing (GigSky and a few others that I can't remember).

It was my first time traveling internationally that I felt like it was a great solution.
I've never encountered this, which country are you talking about?
I'm interested in the tech behind this. Most javascript game stuff I've tried on my iPhone have had issues because of safari "helpfully" scrolling or zooming or showing the address bar when tapping or swiping. This one doesn't seem to do that for me. What's the trick?
Yea, I assume it would be something like cutting the day in half. PG said to put the calls at the end of the day, so it didn't feel like an interruption. I can see how that would work; similar to what you're saying. I wonder if top-of-game CEOs and people like that are better at switching between IC and manager, or if they are just manager from day one. It seems like Elon Musk may be one of these bright people who can concurrently IC and manage.
I don't agree. For one thing, a lot of "humanities" thinking preceded the Catholic church by centuries. More importantly, though, the humanities try to work on a particular class of problems for which I believe scientific thinking is not (totally) useful. In my mind the important characteristics are:

1. Analyzing one-time events of extreme complexity occurring on a human scale. Science isn't really useful for examining the Punic Wars or the American Civil War or World War 2. We could throw our hands up and say that it's impossible to have knowledge about these things, that whatever we say about them is just memetically compelling drivel, but I don't think that's true.

2. Questions involving human values. Hume summarized this nicely in his analysis of the "is-ought" problem. Science is unmatched on the "is" side of the equation, but for the "ought" side it's pretty useless. Of course psychology and neurobiology can examine human motivations, but I think there is something more subtle and complex about the human notion of "value" that doesn't get addressed there and is probably not reducible below the level of human consciousness and experience. Even if you accept the idea that "human beings are just biological machines compelled by their neurochemistry which drives them to behaviors x y and z," you still have to decide what to do with that information, so it becomes a circular problem and you cannot reduce your own experience below the level of a consciously deciding being.

3. Examinations of the human experience. This is where literature really thrives, in my opinion. Sure, I could try to reduce "Anna Karenina" to a set of scientific explanations, but I think AK is actually a much more semantically compact structure for explaining the experience of human families and marriage than a "more precise" scientific explanation would be.

All of these have the common property that the experience of being human cannot be extracted from the knowledge equation. That of course makes their statements less likely to be capital-T "True" and more prone to imprecision, because human life occurs on a big complex messy scale that is extraordinarily hard to analyze and that may vary across groups and individuals. But when I read a great novel or work of history, I don't agree that I'm just falling into some memetic trap. Oftentimes I think the author has pinned down some aspect of reality that would be impossible to capture in any other way.

EDIT: I think it's worth pointing out as a bit of evidence for my worldview here the Francis Bacon's "Novum Organum," which could be said to be the foundation of scientific thinking, is itself a work of philosophy.

Just a UI comment, the white highlighting of white text on a black/grey background is pretty unreadable in my browser
I've read a bunch of the reviews and they seem kinda sketchy - no one will say how much they actually make in an hour and it's a lot of general "no trust us it's good". I can't find anyone saying "I'm making X per hour reviewing Y", if they pay over $30/hr I'm interested but really for less.

The pricing on the site is also super confusing - it's $200 for one hour of reviewing, but $700 for a month? In a typical month at my job I'm doing way more than 3.5 hours of review and also doing a bunch of other stuff on the side. Then if the $700 rate is supposed to be ~120 hours then that's only $5.83/hr which isn't even minimum wage where I am. It is however on par with a lot of gig-work jobs, which makes this even more concerning.

If anyone can say what they made I think that would do a lot to quell all the people that don't trust this. I'm also sure some people must have had a bad experience on the site and I haven't seen that yet which is suspicious.

If anyone from the site happens to see this then I think you should add a breakdown of the percentage of pay going to the reviewers, or just some examples like "For C++ you can expect $40-30/hr, JS is $35-25/hr, etc"
As somebody doing web development for a small business (run by my wife) selling courses online and using Stripe for payment processing, I am a bit concerned by this and other similar posts. So far Stripe has always run smoothly for us (FWIW, we never had a single dispute), but I'd like to have an exit strategy. What other other payment processors similar to Stripe you would suggest? So far I basically only care about credit cards (not other payment methods).
Can you outline what aspects did you set out to improve for each of the businesses?
This isn't really true. Micro-op caches are fairly new, branch predictors are massively improved, caches have gone from 1 level to 3, lots of operations have gotten way more efficient (64 bit division for example has gone from around 60 cycles to 30 cycles between 2012 and now). Out of order execution has also massively improved, which allows for major speed increases.

I can tell by the tone of this comment that you're becoming aggravated.

Lets try to cool our heads a little, I'm not attacking you or your ideas.

The resource usage question is a real one, and nobody is going to give you a "standard" because it depends a lot, it depends what features are requested, it depends on what platforms it will be running.

As I stated previously: Discord is by no means the worst offender when it comes to system resources. But how does it compare to IRC?

Obviously there are way more features in discord.. and it looks nicer! Surely that's worth something! Yes, it's worth something.

It can be interesting to take the reasons that people give for choosing discord (or, slack): Inclusivity.

If you listen to certain people then you might believe that connecting to Zulip/Matrix or IRC requires a PhD.

But it is less inclusive to force your users to eat up a "good portion" of their machine to talk to you.

Discord for me, across its various processes is using about 400MB of ram after I open clean. This goes to about 900MB of ram if I leave it running all day, which I'm fine with because I have 32GB of ram.

A person with a "modern household computer" (IE: a school age person who has what their parents would consider a "good enough" computer) might have 8G of ram, I know some people still using 4G of ram because their parents don't think more ram is worth buying a new computer after spending $500 two years ago.

Are you comfortable taking nearly 1/4th-1/8th of a persons computer because you like the pretty images of discord?

---

I should note, again, that discord is not the worst. But slack used to chew through multiple gigs of memory and pin a CPU core with the gif rendering for me. So while I definitely have a cross to burn about performance, my grievance is not specifically towards discord; but my "problem" would be completely alleviated if I could just use a third party client. But these walled garden companies do not want that.
Yes - carriers managed to find a company even more incompetent than themselves and outsourced sensitive data to them. It doesn't make SIMs insecure. No amount of authentication will help if the party you're authenticating to then decides to send your data to a compromised third-party.

By the way, CDR processing (aka parsing CSV files and figuring out how much to charge - rocket science I know) is also routinely outsourced to the lowest bidders with no doubt terrible security practices: https://berthub.eu/articles/posts/5g-elephant-in-the-room/
The only thing that makes it difficult is human nature. We already know how to remove co2 from the air. Plant large amounts of fast growing plants like bamboo, sequester them after they grow. Repeat. But there is no financial incentive to do so, and therefore it doesn't happen. This is not a technical program. It's a persuasion problem and therefore way more difficult to pull off.
What exactly drove You to this decision?
Sounds like it should have been extra credit.
I was hoping they'd include a comment describing what they mean when they talk about employing someone in the OSM community (and how they'd know).
In my judgement, it’s worse.
Why don't they just do what everyone does, leave the price and change the size of the serving? There's no law to saw a pie needs to be eight slices.

OpenTelemetry Java should work with Android, but I haven't really tried it. Java supports true auto-instrumentation so it should not be hard to figure out if you have an Android project.
So your argument against eSIMs is that it'd interfere with your niche hobby of international sim card collecting?
Most networks support leaving memos to registered users when they're offline. So IRC does have that functionality.
