Glad I'm not alone in loving that song and those 2 albums (Universal Migrator). Absolutely amazing.

That song in particular really captures the feel of walking around old Amsterdam for me, going to see the painting, and having the Dutch Golden Age come to life. Amsterdam is one of my favourite cities, and Ayreon has a lot to do with that.

I am astonished Ayreon is not a lot more mainstream popular.
There are two numbers that matter: days until the product is ready, profitable; days until the money runs out. Startups make decisions to improve the relationship between those two numbers.

Using Cloud services that are obviously more expensive than self-hosted options reduces both numbers- less time to launch stuff, but less money. The point is that in early-stage startups, the costs are so low that paying an order of magnitude more for Operations may not move the second number by very much at all, since most of the money is paying for developers.

I find it the situation with Firefox and Google rather dire; Firefox seems to only be alive at this point because they receive annually $450 million USD from Google [1].
What happens when these payments disappears? Firefox is most definitely beholden to Google. Safari, seems to be the only real competitor right now, but again, Google is paying Apple ~$12 billion USD a year to be the default search engine there as well [2].

I know that the points I bring up relate to search engine dominance, but in a way, it extends much further than that. Firefox web browser is afloat solely because of these payments.

Tetanus is on a completely different threat. It can be everywhere in the soil and infection can mean almost certain death, crippling disabilities should you survive. Every vaccine must be evaluated alone on its specific benefit.

As far as we know the protection doesn't even last a year, a tetanus vaccine might need refreshment after 10 years but would still offer some protection.

Anyone can say they’re offended without any cost to themselves. It’s ‘cheap’, and the outcome is often very ‘expensive’ for the offender. You could even make the case that virtue is derived from being offended. This disproportionality invites bad faith. I’ve stopped caring about people’s offense.
It's surprising that it's built-in on iPhone (though unsurprising that e.g. the support built into iCloud is so poorly documented).

Generally, supporting open interoperable standards that make switching providers easy is bad for business, so I'm generally a lot more surprised at where it is supported, rather than at where it isn't.

FWIW I sync my Android data with my iPhone (personal -v- work devices) using the FDroid DAVx⁵ and ICSx⁵ apps, rather than the author's one-time export solution, and they seem to work ok.
In France, for example, it's legal for the customer to be on the hook for return shipping. This is often the case with smaller merchants, but even bigger ones have this policy. Example: Darty [0]

Have you considered looking for internships? Have you received feedback on your resume? Have you tried a recruiter? Have you looked at any non-traditional background programs? Do you have any projects you can intelligently talk about when you get to the interview?

We've had interns post graduation (as odd as that may sound).

There are some non-traditional background programs. Twilio has one of those, and I hired a former stage director into the program who had done a bootcamp.
Skimming through the article something jumped at me and that's where indeed the actual danger is: ai-based "recommendations" for someone who is or not high-risk.In this case from what i see the decision was still made by a human, but the fact is that most of the judging came from an algorithm.I don't think humans will be replaced as ultimate deciders(let's hope for this, though i'm pretty optimistic), but we need to be careful about who, or better said what we introduce in the pipeline.Because a decider will use the algorithm as a scapegoat for making a decision, just like we already use any other person/object/variable as a scapegoat for our decisions.

Algorithms and such systems are a double-edged sword.They're good for analyzing potential threats for a defensive approach(thus why they maybe incriminate too much)but they're not, and >will not< be able to do the proper judgement for a person.Because they inherently cannot comprehend, simulate, or understand the human potential, spirit, that ultimately someone can fundamentally change(whether they choose to do so is another question).This is ultimately a very philosophical concept of what and what cannot science explain, and for the most part it cannot explain how a person who is at it's deepest point can become a very good person given the promise (mostly self-made) of redemption.
> For protection against enemy divers, dolphins will swim up to the infiltrator, bump into them and place a buoy device on their back or a limb using their mouth.

I need to see this in action. A dolphin shows up and cuffs you??
As University libraries have moved online, one reads many poorly scanned journal articles. I often wonder about taking the time to clean them up. What replaces temporal information here is the same characters appearing over and over.

So of course I read this article hoping to learn about an off-the-shelf tool that would do a great job of scanned text reconstruction. Alas, the best candidates were "no code available."
But we should also not underestimate the ability of the enemy to train dolphins.

It would be hard to send an strike team of just dolphins but I imagine a strike team of both humans and dolphins trained to fend of the defending dolphins and protect the divers would stand a chance.

The reports mark it as a Trojan/backdoor. This means it gives the company remote access to the machine. They can do whatever they want with it.

This isn’t anything like analytics reporting.
Cool. This should be added to the offical documentation.
Yes, you are correct. But you are wrong too.

People need complete understanding of their tools. And complete understanding includes both how to use the concepts they represent and how those concepts map into real world objects. If you don't know both of those, you will be caught by surprise in a situation where you can't understand what is happening.

That focus on the high level only is the reason we had a generation of C++ developers that didn't understand the v-table while being perfectly capable of creating one by hand. It's also why we have framework-only developers that can't write the exact same code outside of the magical framework, even when it's adding no value at all.

> Piracy is not a theft in a sense that it's just illegal, not fundamentally immoral. I think it's actually cool historical constant that moves the world ahead.

In as much as the Chinese firms (which in many cases are quasi-state-owned) that do the theft are breaking treaty and contractual commitments, then the piracy is both illegal, and immoral. Not honoring binding commitments is wrong.

I have personal experience with this, with, as it happens, Huawei, who licensed code from the European company I worked for, used it far more widely than the license permitted, and then, when we attempted to negotiate a broader license, simply dropped their license entirely, continuing to use the code until they had reverse engineered it and could generate new instantiations on independently of us. (That much I know to be true; I actually suspect, but don't have conclusive evidence, that employees of our Chinese subsidiary who went to work for Huawei stole source code on their way out the door, making most of the reverse engineering a simple hiring decision for Huawei. I also have reasonable evidence that another Chinese firm did the same with a major American technology company I later worked for, although again, it's difficult to prove).
Indeed. If you ever poke around in the app you’ll spot platform-specific code all over the place. Sublime Text is one of the rare non-native apps that spends time caring about each platform, which generally gives them a huge boost when it comes to adapting to the platform.
Google doesn't want you using anything besides Gmail, plain and simple. Adding an ICS feed is ridiculously complicated--you have to add it on your desktop in Gmail, and the on each phone you have to manually enable the calendar. Why wouldn't they just have the ICS feed enabled by default?!

I've found that the people who say Modafinil does nothing for them are people experienced with high powered stimulants who are expecting the same kick. This is mostly due to a misunderstanding of what the drug actually does.

Modafinil is a "wakefulness" drug. My favorite comparison is the feeling that you get when you have to pee in the middle of the night, and your body sends out that hormone to wake you up. Modfanil just kind of keeps that process going continuously. There is no "high" or any hyperactivity, just an extra layer of wakefulness.

> The modern web does not suck. FB is usable by my grandma

I'd say the fact that your grandma has to use FB instead of publish on the Web itself is exactly why it sucks. What most people are using isn't really the Web, but apps that happen to (ab)use the Web. Many of which don't even use the Web for the app, but just redirect you to a mobile app instead.

Now I don't think Gemini is actually fixing any of this, but I do feel that the Web today is fundamentally broken and the lack of self-publishing is disheartening, though understandable given that the Web makes it far from easy.
> Piracy is legally similar to a non-organized blacksmith setting up shop in a city where every blacksmith must be member of a certain guild to work.

No. It’s legally similar to a blacksmith copying another blacksmith’s designs and putting his trademark mark on their products. IP laws do not inherently restrict anyone from freely practicing their trade nor do they force you to join any trade/industry associations.
> Generally, supporting open interoperable standards that make switching providers easy is bad for business, so I'm generally a lot more surprised at where it is supported, rather than at where it isn't.

Exactly this. Google makes it very, very easy to have everything synced to a Google account on Android devices: just log in and it just works. You contacts, mail and calendar are all immediately available on your new device. If they'd implement CalDAV in an easy manner, it would probably be a more viable option for less tech-savvy people.

What the parent commenter said: from a business perspective it doesn't make sense to implement it.

Fortunately there are some good, relatively simple to use apps available to implement it for us.

>rather than the author's one-time export solution, and they seem to work ok.
The reason why a simple one-time export was my go-to solution, is because I really don't want my data on Google's servers. In the blogpost I explain how to import the data to Nextcloud and use that as a 'single source of truth'. Other devices can then sync up to your nextcloud instance.

I don't have an iPhone, so I'm not sure how/if this would work on iOS, but I am sure that it's possible to sync it up in a similar manner.

In western nations, a big contributor to lead in blood is ceramic items.[1]

The 'clear' coating on the outside of cups, mugs, teapots, etc. often contains lead, and slightly acidic drinks or water will cause it to leach out. That has a much bigger impact than leaded paint, because you typically don't lick your paint.

Lead glaze is most often used in artisan, novelty or complex items, because the lead oxide acts as a flux which allows the glazing to be done at a lower temperature, which is necessary when glazing complex objects which would otherwise melt or crack during the glazing process. Lead is also far easier to use, because it works over a wider temperature range, so if you do a "make your own pottery" day, you'll probably be using lead flux in your glaze.

I tried playing through UQM/SCII a couple years ago (massive props that the game is available in most Linux distros and you can simply search your standard distro repos for `uqm` to get up and running), but could never get very far.

Evidently I'm simply not playing the game with the correct sense of urgency. I spend the first couple months of in-game time gathering resources and exploring, and at some point the Ur-Quan invasion reaches me and I literally can't progress any further, because alien ships start making a bee-line for me and annihilate me in combat.
'unfamiliar' is 'unintuitive'. You only have an intuition for things that are similar to things you have encountered. Some unfamiliar or unintuitive things might be simpler than familiar things. But, at first, it is often easier to use familiar things, even if they are less simple.

Regarding RPN, I am not convinced that they are actually simpler to a human. In order to understand an RPN expression I try to keep the stack of operands and intermediate results in my ultra short term memory. This can easily exceeds its typical capacity, whereas when trying to understand an infix expression, I can replace subtrees with an abstraction, i.e. a short name, in my mind. But perhaps I have just not yet seen the light and spend enough time working with RPN expressions.

On the other hand, RPN expressions are certainly far simpler to implement.

I moved to selfhosting email about 2 years ago from google gsuite. I use mailcow[1] and have it on Hetzner Cloud. I don't send much but they have always gotten to their destination. Spam is very minimal, next to zero. Mailcow has built in spam detection with rspamd and lets you train it if any spam does get through just by moving the email to your junk folder.

Another big thing I love about mailcow is that it has sync jobs so I can create mailbox's within it and have it sync my emails from other gmail accounts I have or really any mail host that you can connect to with IMAP. You can even set it so it deletes the email on the source account, which is great as most of my extra gmail accounts are just used to receive.

The dashboard is pretty great too and you only really need to use the shell, apart from the initial install, to update it every now and then. So many great things I have to say about it and how you can super power it like hosting custom domains and nextcloud among other things. I'm glad I made the change to selfhost. If you know what you're doing I'd 100% recommend you test out running your own mail server for a bit to test the waters.

I think it depends on how middle class they are. If they are new immigrants who just get a pair of jobs I think even 1K is a lot of money.

They just are too expensive, Apple has the premium segment locked down and I don’t really understand why folks pay that much for android phones.

To be precise, I had in mind closed-source software: the software you can't inspect with reasonable effort/time before running, to ensure that it's not malicious. And especially in case of specialized software, that wasn't inspected by others either. Though these terms seem to be used interchangeably quite commonly [1], likely because of a strong correlation.

> A standard question might be "Build a chess game in 4 hours". Now that's clearly impossible.

That doesn't sound impossible at all. I am sure I could do it in a weekend, and pretty sure I could do it in a day, if strongly motivated and well rested. So, maybe a more skilled person than me could get it done in 4 hours, although it would definitely be impressive and I would expect anyone who can do it, already has done bits of it before (eg they already know their graphics library well, and have implemented alpha-beta search or something for the AI part before -- those are the only two hairy parts, other than that chess is pretty simple)

I think my point is that the question is mostly selecting for experience-- someone who has already implemented parts of it before will be able to do it so much faster. If you don't have a graphics library you already are comfortable with, for example, forget it, that's gonna eat up days on its own.
