“People” in your comment being an extremely small class of wealthy individuals whom have the luxury of trading art. Most people would be totally fine purchasing a high quality replica, as that is their only option.
Well I'll be...
Aviation makes up only 1.9% of the big pie and bitcoin barely is a blip. It would be nice not to have those tons, but addressing big pollution first makes the most sense for triaging the problem. Personally I would enjoy the lower prices for graphics cards if bitcoin went away.

No one said eliminate all air travel. Cutting it down to once a week for non-emergency use world wide would have a huge effect, but even then aviation is only 1.9% of the problem. Making tarrifs, even within the same country, on food grown by milage from consumption would reduce the transport and farming slice of the pie. Eat locally for the cheapest cost.
Sure, but would you prefer to have your house or to not have your house? Selling your house for free (or more realistically, way under market value) would not have as much friction.
In Washington, DC years ago, there was a bill before the DC Council that basically said that any man having sex with a woman who ended up with a child was presumed to be the biological father until paternity was ruled out. So if a woman had sex with several men, all would have presumed paternity. I don't recall whether this applied only to public benefits and paternity.

Wuxia theater is older than film... deriving from a culture that's thousands of years old. Ancient theater, literary prose, philosophy, martial arts, and yes... swinging around on wires on stage.

EDIT: I distinctly remember some of the "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" weapon-scenes to be incredible katas that formed a cohesive story. Its an element of dance and martial arts, less practical and less pragmatic but beautiful nonetheless. A lot of them didn't involve wires at all.

I'm not necessarily saying you should like Wuxia, but perhaps you should try to understand it? Its definitely not about being believable, any more so than Odysseus's voyage was believable. (Or perhaps: an opera about a princess who falls asleep because of a sewing needle, and a prince who fights a dragon so that he could wake her up by kissing her).

Shang-Chi had an element of Wuxia in it. Not a lot, but enough for me to get what they were going for.
I’ve been a Mac user for over 30 years. What kept us when it was a slower, more expensive computer was the user experience.

The Mac UX team is being led by amateurs. Big Sur’s redesign is a joke that Monterey hasn’t began to fix. Let’s not even discuss whatever almost happened to Safari.

The Unix layer is abandoned. Why is it harder and slower to run docker on macOS than anywhere else? In the 2000-2010s, Macs were developer’s first choice.

Cocoa was not only a joy to the end user but for t he developer to write apps on. I’d rather write a Web app than a Mac app these days (but not use it, yet)

The article is spot on.

Good hardware alone won’t be enough to sustain the Mac’s relevance long term. It needs consistent, predictable, discoverable UX. It needs to be the best developing environment.
To me, it sounds like music industry execs are not familiar with the Streisand effect. The first time I became familiar with Youtube-dl, it was during the Github DMCA PR fiasco. The number of stars for Youtube-dl increased sharply as soon as MS reviewed the decision and let them back online.
The turbopump, regenerative cooling, and boundary layer cooling by drilling holes, were innovations from the V2.
Erm, I don’t think we’re describing the same sides of the flow, but I trust you’re right anyways. Apologies for my confusion.
Native apps don't have to be exclusive.
I did not know that there was a journal for fairy tales.

When persons do not know history of epidemic control, they better keep their mouths shut. Do they claim that medieval Venice was a welfare state?
Reframe your approach: How do you encourage your son to learn programming and stay curious and motivated? You can't teach anyone unless they have the motivation and interest to learn. Kids have lots of natural curiosity so you need to take advantage of that. You need to keep the interest going with challenges and successes.

Do the simplest possible thing to get your son interested in anything remotely like programming. The other comments have some good suggestions. With some success at simple things like animated robots and Minecraft and Mindstorms your son may decide to keep digging into programming.
Management inaction to address performance is endemic in larger companies. It shows you how very hard it is to get fired at most places. There are companies that attempt to counter this, but usually that ends up getting the company an ugly reputation.
Talk to the colleague first not the manager if you do go down this route. But tbh you don’t know what they’re going through. And it’s also not your business, just do the work.

I had a colleague who would do little for months and didn’t mind it. In fact, because he would mind his own business I liked him more than my other colleagues.

I think you should mind your own business, unless for some reason this is your business, ie if you’re the manager.
Also, Opus is actually two codecs. You'll only see CELT, the general purpose codec, from about 32kbps and up. But at super low bitrates it uses SILK, a speech codec. At 12kbps you'd very probably see the hybrid mode, where SILK does the bulk of the work but CELT handles frequencies above 8kHz.

So youtube is already Opus, but it's not already SILK.
I've not seen that website before, going back to the home page and clicking through the database options literally had me laughing out loud - thank you :-)
In the end Electron may be slow and bloated, but it is easy to distribute and you can make it look exactly how you want. People often say they want apps to look "native", but really most people I have met don't really care that Spotify doesn't use native Windows widgets.

Also, I liked the idea on this site of responding to twitter comments by posting them whole on the site and writing the response below. It feels more like it is an older style mailing list that way.

"Wafer of the Sony PlayStation 1 CPU. While decaping a Sony CXD8606Q, I was very lucky to be able to match the die to an unidentified wafer I had in my collection. The 6“ wafer could accommodate a total of 200 individual dies."
You want to look at median numbers, not average numbers.

Also you want to look at real earnings, which take into account cost of credentials, tooling, ongoing education, things like that.

In particular, pipefitters make a significant amount more money than plumbers, so I'd gather that that number is skewed downwards.
> which are kind of irrelevant to real work, but the problem solving approaches you need to take are very relevant

It's also a common vocabulary shared across engineers, no matter their seniority or where they graduated from. And knowledge of algo and data structures demonstrate someone could learn it in the first place.

Especially for junior hires, it's an excellent predictor of success.
> I posted in another thread, but after one month, I am still having issues that are for sure linked to my booster shot. No-one told me about any of these possible side effects, but after suffering from them, and talking openly about it with many peopkle, I found others had exactly the same issues as I have after their shots (Pfizer if it helps anyone).

I went and found your post.

Your symptoms could just as easily be explained by a viral infection (not necessarily COVID). That happens to people periodically, conservatively say once every 5 years. 2 weeks / 5 years is 0.7% of time. After billions of vaccine doses administered, that's millions of people that will attribute a random viral infection to a vaccine side effect...

I think the "official" side effects are a true best estimate of what the side effects really are, and tracking side effects like you are trying to do is very prone to various biases. You can't possibly understand vaccine side effects without looking at data from large numbers of people. That's why these random anecdotal stories of "vaccine -> ailment" are problematic. The question is if those ailments are happening more frequently after vaccination than before, and no individual can possibly answer that question.

The classic example of this is the vaccines -> autism issue. Thousands of parents were convinced that vaccines caused autism because autism appeared immediately after getting vaccinated. But now we know, decades later after massive population scale study, that this was just statistical noise.
1. So does many degrees (ie: Art and Humanity?). At the upper-level with Skilled Trades, you usually go by your own company/name and then you can make substantially more.

2. Probably a little. These boot camps are mostly a scam like many colleges today.

3. You can do college cheap. You can also get a scholarship if you qualify. You can do college the expensive way if your parents will pay for it. Taking a $100-200k loan for it is stupid.

4. Yes.

Which leads me to the conclusion: College degrees used to get you higher pay, people overbought that and someone filled the market, people now can't sell their college degrees for money. Worse, many of them have raked up debt to get that college degree.

Sounds familiar? This is like people buying the top in a crypto, realestate, stock-market bubble. But you add a few steps and the thing sounds legit. (Did you ever wonder why people buy MLM and not go directly and buy a Ponzi Scheme).
It's not dumb, it's gambling. You buy a stupid monkey doodle for $100k and hope to sell it to somebody else for $200k. Nobody wants the monkey doodle. The NFT craze has nothing whatsoever to do with art, novel technology, decentralized ownership, or any of the other high-minded concepts people keep bringing up in these discussions. It's about gambling.

CrytoKitties did it back in 2017. NFTs are not new and there were flurry of articles back then along the lines of "How I Made $100k Trading CryptoKitties in My Free Time".

> weird quirks to deal with like the delay between the audio in and when you hear it, as well as it becoming desynced over time.

You may want to check out Snapcast. I use it to distribute audio to 6 clients on diverse hardware (several Raspberry Pis, a Windows PC, a Linux PC) and it handles synchronized playback very well, after tweaking the latency offsets for each device (once).

https://github.com/badaix/snapcast

(Edit: Ok, Snapcast doesn't get rid of the delay. But it does keep the players in sync, if you can tolerate some delay between source and speakers.)
There are so many times I would have used this. At least 20% of my issues could have benefited from an in-line diagram tool.

Being able to quickly draw out complex sequence/state diagrams would make my otherwise dense bricks of narrative descriptions much more palatable for many teammates.
> If that attempt was a serious one it would be an actual legally binding contract.

Yes, the idea is to have a legally binding contract that assigns ownership to whomever controls the token.
The author obviously did a lot of research, explained roguelikes' roots, and has an interesting take on something that a lot of the great roguelikes have in common. It was a good read.

Also, if you read to the end of the article, they aren't saying to use their definition of roguelike, since the name is already taken.
It struck me as a very mature move by Apple to do the two-pronged approach and launch both SwiftUI and Catalyst around the same time (they are for different purposes... greenfield projects vs. ports).

I mean it's the most obvious surface-level minimalist/designer/programmer impulse to want there to be only 1 way rather than 2, because it just overall feels more neat/tidy that way. That's the kind of impulse I heed a lot of the time. But in the real world and especially trillion dollar market situations like this, what's actually best to do is not necessarily that simple.
I think it also depends a lot on who OP’s employer is, and their view of them.

I may give a different answer depending on if it’s a casino dev shop or a legit publicly funded research lab...
Good question :D

Now that you mention it, I can't actually remember. The Uruk-Hai costumes were much harder to get into and out of compared to the elf costumes (this is for Helm's Deep) so I'm going to go with yes, we were allowed toilet breaks but it was a logistical nightmare.

The plus side to the Uruk costume was that it was basically a wetsuit (this is how they modelled the muscles etc on it) so when you're playing a dead body in the middle of the night in a quarry, anything that helped you stay warm was a bonus!
Call me delicate, but until AR/VR is advanced enough to shield me from coming into contact with black- and grey-water, I'll stick to paying a pro.
That Chrome bug seems frustrating... have you tried changing chrome to use Wayland instead of XWayland? Go to chrome://flags and change Preferred Ozone platform from X11 to Wayland.
The RIAA isn't protecting the interests of artists, either.

Director of marketing after one year in the field is wild. Congrats to her.
Firefighter and soldier pay is also higher in the US. Though, back to the original point, the US also has an effective enough military that most NATO members basically half-ass their own defense, which is how they can afford to spend so much money on their social programs.
> You do not own an NFT in any legal or moral sense.

But you do own the very real sum of money that's earned by flipping one. Which is the whole point.
To me—and I'm not at all a high art person, so take this with a pinch of salt—I think the value in owning an original painting would be knowing that it is the original, crafted first hand by the artist, rather than the notion that it is mine and not someone else's (which to me continues to be a worthless concept in isolation). If The Lourve said I could keep the Mona Lisa above my mantelpiece forever more, I would not be looking to place bids on it.

For digital art that obviously doesn't apply as the concept of "the original" artefact is borderline meaningless, however that leads neatly onto the other thing I dislike about NFTs, which is the introduction of artificial scarcity in a medium not burdened by it.
The rest of us have to live in the planet being polluted right now. Many of us will have friends or relatives lose money to scammers. Many of us have retirement funds invested with companies or live in cities which are being pressured to “invest” in transparently-overbilled blockchain funds.
It's truly Google-like in its inconsistency and confusion for developers.
Expensive, but low tier, private schools are the problem. They’re all over the Northeast. Schools that cost as much as Harvard, with way worse financial aid, with worse programs than Rutgers. It’s a scam with a quad.
The good that could happen: comp increase, or promotion.

The odds of that happening are approximately 0. More likely the "slacker" guy is allowed to get away with it because of nepotism or some other factor, and calling him out with result in negative consequences for the OP. Very, very little good usually comes out of speaking up about stuff like this.
The new part is the scale at which it’s happening. If we had an addition 100M flu cases, we would expect a decrease in life expectancy.

(Also, this doesn’t address the reality that we don’t know if long Covid is the same as with the flu. I just wanted to point out that even if we accept this premise, we would still se a decrease.)
SVG would be cool too :)
How excellent the ASN.1 tooling is depends on which subset of ASN.1 you're using. Some of the tooling supports one iteration of ASN.1 or the other. To the degree that the IETF had to write a document on how to deal with this since some of the standards use the older ASN.1 and some use the newer ASN.1:
https://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-pkix-asn1-translation-0...

Interoperability with ASN.1 is very fragile at best.
Personally I look at https://www.reddit.com/r/BuyItForLife/, and then data backed sites like https://appliance.report/ and i try to find small, geeky blogs from people who clearly love the subject matter

The work you have to do to show your compiler that certain constraints hold (say that i and j point inside the same array and that i < j can be extremely cumbersome, even in cases where it’s obvious that they do hold. That makes it not seem worth the trouble.

Of course, that obvious may turn out to be incorrect for some edge condition.

Basically, that’s the same reason why mathematicians don’t put all proofs through a proof assistant.
> people need your permission to make a copy of that poster.

No they don't, I can literally walk in my friend's living room and take a picture of his poster. I can do that in the store, too, by the way. The "I can copy-paste it" is just a terrible and bad-faith argument.
The typical horror story of insurmountable college debt of hundreds of thousands of dollars comes from people who go to grad school, where the loans are uncapped, so that they can reach as high as fifty grand a year or more, as opposed to undergrad, where loans are capped to around ten grand a year. Colleges for that reason have to be more generous with financial aid to undergrads.

Unfunded grad school is pretty much never worth it for that reason, especially for non-STEM fields (but even for STEM, it's still pricey enough that it probably isn't worth paying full price). Med school is also pricey, but high salaries make up for that, and what I've heard of law school is that it isn't worth the cost if you aren't going to a top 20 school.

But as for specifically undergraduate education, I do think the financials make it worth it in many cases, but it's misleading to generalise across all majors. 30k of debt for a computer science degree is likely worth it, sure. Is it worth it for an English degree? Debatable, but 30k of debt at least isn't going to financially hobble someone for the rest of their life. Is it worth paying full sticker price (if e.g. the student doesn't qualify for financial aid) for a sociology degree? I think that would be dubious.
The odds of any specific virus evolving naturally are staggeringly small, looking backward, since each one is a combination of thousands of nucleotides. So what? The same argument was made in favor of divine creation.
Linux, MariaDB, SourceFire, WordPress, Ansible, just off the top of my head.

GPL (and, often, AGPL) you can see as sort of the "other" major strategy to running a commercial business on open source: instead of a non-commercial license, you make the free version fastidiously GPL, and charge people to get out from under it.
Astonishingly low quality article for a publication as wonderful as Nautilus.

For now I just want to comment on one piece, this meme that NFTs are killing the planet through consumption of insane amounts of energy is silly and falls apart with a moment's thought.

All estimates of per-txn energy usage take the total number of transactions and divide by the total energy usage of the chain. However... bitcoin (and other chains) happily consume a lot of energy even when no transactions are being processed. The more important question is: when you make a transaction how much more energy is consumed than in a counterfactual world where you did not make that transaction.

This number is very difficult to estimate, but seems to be at most 10kwh, or as much as driving your tesla ~30 miles, or running your dishwasher 5 times, or running your air conditioner for 5 hours, or doing any of a number of other things which people happily do every day without thinking twice. It would be nice if energy consumption was much lower, this is a non-trivial amount of energy, and multiple chains are working toward lowering it, but popular articles all seem to believe your NFT could power Berlin for a day if only you weren't being so selfish.
Which ruled in favor of Sony, that making personal copies of complete TV shows which you have access to is fair use, and that makers of such devices cannot be held liable as long as there are substantial non-infringing uses.

I suspect that GP didn't pick that example randomly, because youtube-dl is a pretty close analog of a BetaMax.
I left PopOS and never looked back when I needed nvidia-docker to do some deep learning work and learned they had knowingly made it difficult to impossible to reliably use nvidia-docker with PopOS, and they recommended their own unmaintained project that doesn’t even intend to be a replacement for nvidia-docker. It couldn’t have been more useless to me.

Breaking compatibility with Ubuntu-compatible dev tools is one thing, but the lack of awareness or consideration of tooling standards is evidence that Pop_OS! is not for me.
This license has things in common with the Unreal Engine license. It's a source available license that is free up until a certain revenue (or equity / headcount) amount
Pick one, actually.
That's some kind of summary (and it looks a bit partisan).

It's perfectly permissible to use "cloud" services that are in the USA. It's just forbidden to use cloud services in the USA to store PII.
It is also the largest number of temperature reading stations and satellite.

Could we only wonder if there’s a straight line correlation between that and this OP’s trending data.
I think python is the best way in. I was a few years older than that but not much when I started learning it.

It doesn't have very much syntax but you can still do stuff with it. A good place to start might be to find a library for something he likes. Maybe a game or some other topic he is into.

I've been using this video to teach someone. We watch for a while and then pause and code on my PC. I honestly don't know if it's a very good method or even a very good video. Results have been good so far though.

Not that I endorse it, but you could do some (or all) of the following to preserve the suggested system while still having everyone's favorite size of transactions:

- Ads after X failures

- Spend Fun Points to avoid ads and prevent misclicks from subtracting your score

- Fun points can be bought

- or obtained by watching an ad

- or obtained very rarely through regular play (e.g. by spending many Fun Coins)

- Spend Fun Coins to customize your ball and background

- Fun coins can be bought

- or obtained by watching an ad

- or obtained infrequently through regular play

- Daily bonuses which scale with number of consecutive days logged in

- Fun Points and/or Coins obtained by referring a friend

et cetera
I'd set up a 1:1 to discuss strategies for falling through the cracks yourself.

They can pass you tools, walk you through it, give you as much help as you can possibly receive, but you'll struggle a ton anyway. Or, as you say, break it.
