The problem is you are thinking only about yourself which is what right-wingers are frequently accused of. You specifically might be able to work extremely hard, persevere, etc but not everyone can. Work needs to be sustainable especially in the US which does not provide a lot of benefits to workers (healthcare, child care, PTO, etc). Also, you might be able to work extremely hard today but can you do the same 20 years from now or when you are recovering from an illness? I used to work 14+ hours a day but out of the blue got diagnosed with cancer. I still pushed hard during that time but a year after surgery and treatment, I have lost all motivation to work and can barely focus for 4 hours a day.
I'm usually not even at my desk with these calls. I'll be doing stuff around the house, with my mic on mute.
this is the problem with western medicine. where medication is the end all be all. various cultures have known since time immemorial that the gut is linked to healthy brain function. hence why most cultures have a form of fasting, advocate drinking fermented drinks / foods such as yoghurt, kefir, beer etc. there's certain foods that you eat and feel your blood draw to a halt and you feel lethargic. then there's certain foods that you eat and your brain fires up, and you feel blood rushing.
Sorry, but did you read this properly? They could not substantiate that the partner schools abused project funds, but still closed the funding for them, because of too much risk. Probably because reporting standards didn’t match. They do not deny the “situation in Xinjiang” - they say that particular report did not substantiate the purchase of body armor/security gear etc in partner schools.
It really was a middle ground. The first third promises deconstruction and meta-stuff, but then the rest of the movie is redoing Matrix cliches, right down to the utterly confusing final rescue sequence in the real world coupled with the awfully shot final chase sequence in the Matrix.

This movie doesn't know what to be.

Exactly. I used to be just like you but I changed a few years ago and I couldn't be much happier.

Plenty of SaaS providers end up using GPL code as if it was MIT since no distribution = no virality.
Just checked ilpost.it (which seems well done), it has RSS at https://www.ilpost.it/feed/

Internazionale.it writes that it "publishes weekly the best of newspapers around the world" - nonetheless, it seems to also be a positive intellectual source: it seems to contain original articles, selected translations (good for the selection effort: I just read a superb pick from Al Jazeera), but also compilative articles that discuss and integrate international journalistic interventions about specific topics - so, there are authors that present a topic through abridging the best articles about it (see https://www.internazionale.it/notizie/alessandro-lubello/202... ).

It has RSS at http://www.internazionale.it/sitemaps/rss.xml

Marginal note: in January 2020, the printed version of Internazionale reported, I believe in the coverpage, that a concerned government of Italy formally complained against China about obscurity in the virus spread that hit the Middle Kingdom, which reportedly replied "do not make a fuss about this petty thing".
Always psyched to see a post from josh.

Really insightful deep dives into a very misunderstood technology, presented with a fun, lighthearted writing style that I find myself trying to emulate in my own technical writing.
Off. My firm was mostly remote pre pandemic and everything was done by conference call most of the time. I actually like it a lot more because it places more focus on content.
What are you talking about? You consider "the science" to be e phenomenon? What does that even mean?

Also, plenty of people who are (voluntarily or involuntarily) spreading FUD are not directly telling others to do or not do something. They are just asking questions. And keep asking the same questions even after they have received answers repeatedly. It is still spreading FUD.

Skepticism and questioning authority is good, spreading FUD is not.
The scenario "make your program cease to function for users who don't pay a fee", in actual practice, won't happen without your users being well aware that this is the plan from the very beginning.

Furthermore, by framing it that way, you're being disingenuous about what exactly is "the program" that ceases functioning. In the scenario where the program is on Github, you're making the new version of the program cease to function, but the old version still functions, and the user is still permitted to use it--that is, the real problem isn't that "the program" ceases to function, but that you're replacing a still functioning version by a nonfunctioning one automatically. In the scenario where you're charging $10000, there is, in actual practice, no old functioning version.

In a weird scenario which was closer (but which doesn't happen much in practice), charging $10000 would be objectionable too.
What do you base this judgment on? I've built several web applications using Python and things worked very well and were far from being a mess.
The tax no longer exists - as I already stated when I noted it was rescinded in 2019 - because the costs of waste handling and storage have been paid many times over. In what way would milking money out of nuclear power generation be "sustainable"?
Joy lang has a particularly beautiful quine:

bitwarden seems to be the favorite so far - open source, self-hostable if needed, and pretty easy to use.

There's a free reimplementation of its server which also seems to be highly recommended:

> All it takes is for someone to write a little chrome extension to export everything and import it into competing software...

Though it would be foolish to trust such an extension, given the existence of practices like extension hijacking. I'm sure someone could make a lot of money with a "secretly export LastPass passwords to attacker" extension.

> an OS with long term storage is a problem because it accumulates incorrect files, mistakes, and other long term choices that will hamper your productivity

This is why containers became so successful, IMO. For a long time I thought being able to log in to a server and set up a new cron job to deal with some maintenance task was a strength. It turns out that over time it does become a problem.
New SysJoker Backdoor Targets Windows, Linux, and macOS
Interesting comment and felt like I was supposed to find this! My team is actually working on something along those lines so companies can directly embed a "demo-able" version of their product whether its on their website, sales outreach, or share through emails without opening up their actual product to everyone.

Check us out (still in beta but I want to practice what I preach and get my own product on our page once its a bit more polished): https://www.getlancey.com/
Which is easier to use: LastPass or CorrectHorseBatteryStaple?
I'm not even too old and remember the time when 10% was considered a decent tip (at restaurants, cabs), and 12-15% would be reserved for exceptional service. And tips were always calculated pre-tax. Now 20% on the total amount has become the default. How did we get to this?
cost to refuel JWST: $500M

why not do both?
> So did in Taiwan, SK, Japan, Hong Kong, Sinagpore, etc. in the 50s-90s. China is actually behind, and was slow to develop because of the mess that the revolution caused.

I'm certainly not a Great Leap Forward apologist, but Deng salvaging the mess in the 80s-90s and the subsequent development is a great achievement.

> As above, the authoritarianism didn't cause this. Walk around 3am at night in any city in Japan, SK or Taiwan, it is the same.

I'm just citing Good Things about China since the parent seemed to be convinced there weren't any. Not making a value judgement on how it was achieved.

> Since we're playing et tu now, how about all the bases in the South China Seas and the border skirmishes with India? By all indications, if the US was not the world police, then China's (or Russia's) response, judging by their recent actions, would have been even worse. You also failed to mention China's role in the Korean war, in addition to Vietnam.

Some border skirmishes vs an uninterrupted history of global hot, cold, and proxy wars since WWII, you tell me which is more significant?

> Hard to see COVID as a defence for China given that most of the world is still ticked off that China covered everything up, twice, leading to pandemic both times. It's surprising that they didn't learn the mistakes of SARS, and here we are with SARS-2.

The gene sequence was released on this day (1/11) in 2020. There had been 41 cases and one death at that point. Look at the American virus response and tell me if any city would've locked down at that point. There was no coverup, it's simply an incredibly contagious virus.

> This really betrays your sympathies. You don't even consider that what the people of Hong Kong desires and their right to self-determination. Hong Kong is more than just a few islands and a bit of land hanging off of the mainland.

We'll have to agree to disagree here. I don't think the majority of Hong Kongers wants to secede from the mainland, even in a magical world where they wouldn't have to fight an independence war and subsequent complete economic/diplomatic isolation to get it.

> What is even your point here? Are you trying to say that it's actually Taiwan provoking China?

I'm saying that it's dumb to treat flying into a corner of a giant rectangle that's mostly not covering your own land as some major provocation
It took decades of intentional development to go from a United States where every big city had a streetcar system and basically nobody had a car, to the suburban hellscapes that exist throughout the country today. It will take decades more to fix.
Regardless of the debate of whether tipping should be the norm, I've found that nearly all of the suggested tip amounts are generated using the after tax price.

When I was young my dad pointed this out to me when it would happen on restaurant receipts, and then I'd have to listen to him tell the waiter who clearly did not care. But especially now, nearly all of the suggested tip amounts are calculated after tax is included. After seeing it done so much I think this has become the norm, and don't even check the pre-tax vs post-tax math anymore.
Not to the point of detonating them - they have a lot of physical safeguards.
Blame boomers, for you will become like them: grow or die. This is the harsh reality.

Should a doctor or nurse be paid as a restaurant or retail worker? Who is the "essential" worker? Look at the market, tech is becoming more essential, not services.

If you don't upgrade your skills and stay stagnant, you will be decimated. If you are young, you can still learn and adapt, change careers and industries.

You cannot afford to think like a boomer anymore: adapt or die. This is the harsh reality.
Root cause of this issue: export is only possible from the desktop browser plugin, but lastpass locks free users to either desktop or mobile.
If your account is locked to mobile, you can't export your passwords.

I have another related issue: it is not possible to export your TOTP seeds from lastpass authenticator.

I contacted the lastpass/logmein dpo, which (in my case at least) got forwarded to their generic support-by-email. They were slow to respond, and eventually claimed they could not export my one time passwords because they are encrypted. This is obviously false, they can decrypt the data just fine (I actually switched to a new phone, authenticator data got synced as you would expect). And other apps such as Google Authenticator allow you to export your data.

I filed a gdpr complaint with my national Data Protection Authority, which after a long response time got accepted, and is now forwarded to the Irish DPA.

If you want to assert your rights, contact Lastpass/Logmein at privacy@logmein.com or via their support page [0] (from their privacy page [1]), and demand access to your data. If they refuse, or do not respond within 30 days, file a complaint with your DPA [2], with proof that you requested your data but got denied.

A beautiful typeface - unfortunately completely outside my financial range but a great typeface nonetheless.

I hope to seeing it in the wild sometime. Really, really beautiful
It would be completely fine in my opinion.
I don't think carpenters or automechanics do much free work.
I quite like the fact that 1PW has a very simple business proposition: I give them money, and they safeguard my passwords. And if I don't like their service, I can easily export my stuff and not renew my subscription. There are no growth hacks involved.
People don't generally want to be lazy. They want to feel like their effort matters. And even if you have a job that is important for society to function and improve, your efforts can be poisoned by seeing the vast majority of the value going to those at the top, or by constant verbal abuse and breakdown of your body. In lots of jobs, lots of stress comes from things that don't actually matter, but rather from minutia invented by someone else who doesn't trust you to put in effort. Hard work with tangible results is satisfying. Stressful work with poor pay and physical degradation is not.
Counter-point: All of that changes if their economy weakens or becomes toxic.

This could, and probably will, happen in a number of ways. They are blatantly expansionist; asserting control over HK was a mildly toxic event, but a move into Taiwan would be beyond reproach. They have a growing population that is overwhelmingly lower-class, by western standards. They hold a Tremendous amount of foreign-denominated debt (~$1.3T USD just from the USG) (holding a mortgage gives the bank power over you; holding sovereign debt gives the sovereign power over you), while issuing most of their debt internally, with very poor bookkeeping practices. They have very few notable Allies, and none won out of an emotion beside fear. The US has positioned itself for the next decades to aggressively improve at-home manufacturing & infrastructure.

These are just public statements by American executives; they mean nothing, and they don't represent the exertion any Real Power. No one is lying to themselves about China; but the shit hasn't hit the fan yet. Until it does, western companies extract and export Tremendous value from China, effectively weakening their natural resource reserves and domestic corporations while increasing their reliance on western technology. When that changes, western economies will take a hit; but China will be decimated.

China doesn't export any real culture (their top grossing film was a poorly made war propaganda film? lol Disney can puke out the sixteenth spiderman movie and make more. and No Way Home hasn't been released in China yet). They don't meaningfully export technology or intellectual property (ok: Tik Tok). One thing they do export: their children, to western universities. And you talk to many of these kids who have grown up in the west, and they don't want to leave. They buy houses here, build families, drink with their white, black, and brown friends, work in American companies... It's Just Better Here.

And sure; they export Influence; its the echoes of an untapped market with really cheap manufacturing. My western value systems says Intel should be more harsh with China; that they shouldn't mince words. But simultaneously, when speaking about global power dynamics: Why? Profiting from slave labor is horrible, but that's exactly what Intel is doing: Profiting. I wish they wouldn't, but doing so doesn't meaningfully make China stronger. If anything, it further striates their already overwhelmingly lower-class population; unrest can't just happen in authoritarian countries, it tends to.

And while all-out war is unlikely; if that happens, everyone will be decimated. We can drum all we want, but global military tech has react the status of Perfect Killing Machine. War, in the past, was a tool countries used to assert influence and escape dire economic situations. The tools have changed; you can't assert influence if there's no one left to have influence over, and your dire economic situation will just be made worse after coastal population center bombardment and grain field irradiation. We'll just kill each other off, and most war is rational somewhere in the reasoning matrix.
If you had read the entire (very long) comic strip, you would know (a) this is not an article that has been linked and (b) that she isn't applying to bullshit jobs, and (c) her issue is being expected to care for a job like it's the most important thing in the universe from the get-go while the companies she applies to literally couldn't care less about her even though she matches or exceeds the skill requirements listed in the job postings.
Always on.

So can you point me to where this license says you cannot modify this code? Or that by accepting distribution of one version of this code, you are obligated to distribute future versions?

You can't hide behind "The license doesn't say he has to play nice, so you can't complain about him not playing nice", then say it's unfair that npm don't go behind their license and TOS obligations to host his spite version.
>Group chats, which were really not feasible before (remember: SMS caps), suddenly became popular.

Good point. Messaging apps enabled group chats for real this time. SMS was something like proto/quasi messaging app.

>I live in Italy and I haven't received a single SMS from an actual human being in several years.

Btw spammers still use SMS. But spamming bots are not humans tho ;)
They don't seem to have disentangled whether the same sensation of inflammation is triggered, or whether the actual inflammation is triggered by some visceromotor mechanism.
Thanks for sharing your use-case Tom!

Love that you bring up delivery bots. They're the moving example, but you can also think of a parallel application where you have stationary cameras monitoring something of interest (worker safety, defective parts, security, etc).

Interested in hearing where else people are struggling with videos.
One immediate comparison that springs to my mind is the Löve 2D engine [1], which is a tiny game engine written entirely around Lua scripting (so that Lua includes the full game run loop as well).

Lua is a good scripting language, but it doesn't have the ubiquity of JS (and Löve doesn't have the ubiquitous deployment of the modern browser). Also, Lua doesn't have a static type ecosystem (though there are interesting projects like TypescriptToLua [2] exploring that space, but you can from the name they are following/lagging the JS ecosystem here).

There probably is a need to package more browser games as "real" games and a lightweight Canvas-focused approach could find a nice like Löve, especially if it were easier, for instance, to maybe port to consoles for small/indie game teams than one of the web views or Electron. (Though certainly Microsoft already has a version of WebView2 running on the Xbox.)

I got bit by this obsolescence. My understanding of the gist of it:

1) Chromebook is a "secure platform" => including drivers, firmware, etc. etc.

2) Supporting "security" across the browser is the first point, but additionally, there's security required across the whole hardware footprint

3) "when it's too expensive to keep track of / backport security fixes" or "the latest kernel won't build anymore" => "Sorry, your device is obsolete."

4) The rise of evergreen browsers (specifically chrome-monopoly) is pushing the definition of what is worth updating / monkey-patching / transpiling.

There's "ways" to update "stuff" but at that point you're basically using it as a linux device (subject to _linux's_ security and update stance) instead of a chromeos device.
Have you actually read the law you're discussing? It was in the first amendment to the DMCA, because they realized they can't prevent people from accessing things they paid for.

Full text of 1201 here: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/1201.
Note the many exemptions. You could just call it encryption research. You also need to look at the list of exemptions granted by the library of congress, which is quite extensive: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Millennium_Copyright_A....

I can't actually find the thing I am looking for. AFAIR the Cornell law site does not have the updated version that I need to reference, but you can see by the exemptions granted they are just codifying your rights to continue to use a work, even if it is not necessarily obsolete, if the copy protection has gotten in your way.

To actually change this rightsholders would have to lease works instead of selling them, but they still use the word "sell" when interacting with consumers.
My favorite quote on the subject is this one by Banksy:

“People are taking the piss out of you everyday. They butt into your life, take a cheap shot at you and then disappear. They leer at you from tall buildings and make you feel small. They make flippant comments from buses that imply you’re not sexy enough and that all the fun is happening somewhere else. They are on TV making your girlfriend feel inadequate. They have access to the most sophisticated technology the world has ever seen and they bully you with it. They are The Advertisers and they are laughing at you. You, however, are forbidden to touch them. Trademarks, intellectual property rights and copyright law mean advertisers can say what they like wherever they like with total impunity. Fuck that. Any advert in a public space that gives you no choice whether you see it or not is yours. It’s yours to take, re-arrange and re-use. You can do whatever you like with it. Asking for permission is like asking to keep a rock someone just threw at your head. You owe the companies nothing. Less than nothing, you especially don’t owe them any courtesy. They owe you. They have re-arranged the world to put themselves in front of you. They never asked for your permission, don’t even start asking for theirs.”

My personal philosophy is: if Google wants my money they should ask for it. Put their search engine behind a paywall. If they try to coerce me to give them money by selling my personality, needs and wants to advertisers I’ll try to prevent them any way I can.
