We have a rescue cat from rural Ohio who came to us with four pellets in her body. The vet said she sees this a lot. So it’s not just infrastructure. Some people are just stupid, irresponsible, cruel, or all three, and some of those people have guns.
I thought they were going to say something about the Hall Effect sensors inside the analog reverb "tanks" of the vintage guitar amplifiers.
Meanwhile, the Mastodon Project has made everyone fully aware of how they feel about blockchains:

https://twitter.com/search?q=from%3Ajoinmastodon%20blockchai...

one quote:

"The blockchain's two core properties, immutability and centrality (i.e. the ledger is distributed, but everyone's got the same one), are actually pretty bad for a social network. People can put awful stuff into the blockchain - doxx, harassment, child abuse, that you can't remove"
I think a big part of Wayland's limitations is in its protocol, and are "by design". Getting Wayland to have feature-parity with X would require extending the protocol, and then implementing those extensions in both compositors and clients. Because major Wayland compositor projects are unlikely to want to adopt or maintain such extensions, getting client applications to support them would also be a tough sell.
Mostly city specific slack groups or game specific discords. There are great Chicago and Missoula tech slack channels. I don't live in either of those places anymore and I'm still really active in both because they provide a lot of value to me.

I don't have as good of a casual non work related hangout place though. Just Twitter generally.
I've found that most tech these days are dog fooding their own products. I've been a happy participant on Secure Scuttlebutt for the last 5 years, where approximately a third of the conversation is about Scuttlebutt, where the protocol should be going, what's going on with each client, and coming to consensus on how to distribute funds or encourage further growth.

The same thing is true for Disaster Radio, SudoMesh and other mesh networks...you use the technology to talk about the technology, coordinate growth and goof around with inside jokes.

I'd be surprised if soon electric cars (...domestic robots, razor crest spacecrafts) didn't all have internal forums where folks talked about the technology itself.

So the question is what are you interested in connecting with people about? Robotics clubs have a different needs for interacting than say the folks interested in the Gemini protocol.
I ran ad blocking on Youtube for years, and I've been a Premium member since it came out (as Red back then). I can't stand ads and avoid them like the plague.

Some ads still sneak into my world though. My current peeve is when going to a restaurant and they have "the game" on full blast. I'm perfectly fine with people watching/listening to the game - and half the time the restaurant is considered a "sports bar", so I get it. But what ends up happening is that those major games are mostly ads. And the ads are twice as loud as the game. So here I am, paying to eat at a place and I'm listening to ads. I've been tempted to ask the server if we'll be receiving a discount for listening to each ad like a mobile game!
I've changed it now.
This one is good; clear explanations of the concepts and various useful examples to crib from: https://www.grymoire.com/Unix/Awk.html

Their document covering sed is also excellent.
I agree, but you won't get 10% of our current meat production with free range meat.

In fact, we are cutting forest to meet demands for lands to grow cattle because it's still not enough.

If suddenly all meat would come from free range animal, the debate would be different, and I would use different arguments.

But I would actually be very pleased if we already just did that.

It's more realistic than expecting everyone to decide my diet is for them too, and it would already do a lot of good.
To answer the question posed by the site. How can they afford 261MB page load instead of 5MB? Because the largest expense of delivering video, the bandwidth, is still very cheap. We're talking less than one cent per gigabyte. Even if ad rates are really low, they're bringing in more than 1 cent per ad play.
Offloading to the NIC is of course the fastest way but even doing it in the NIC driver (check if the NIC driver supports it or you have to use the slower generic fallback) you already have advantages similar to doing it with DPDK.
> the ad companies went to war against human civilization

Upvotes the moment I read this. Yes. This is what they did and they deserve to be blocked in every way possible for it.
> Its a matter of once again Tesla using a proprietary system instead of adopting industry standards.

Ah, you mean there is already an industry standard around this? That's great, but could you tell us what it is (surely the standard that Tesla isn't following has a name or something)?
"You can have your cake and eat it too, but you do have to do some work to get there."

Yup! It used to be a lot harder, but with Homekit and Home Assistant it's more accessible with less tinkering than ever before.

I hope Matter (the Amazon/Google/Apple consortium based on Homekit) doesn't blow out the cloud-free options - hopefully Apple can reign in the others.
I stopped watching network TV in the 1990s when it reached about 25% ads (i.e. 7.5 minutes of ads in a 30 minute window. May have been only 7 minutes, memory is fuzzy now).

The web was a relief. You could actually consume content and tune out the (then primitive, usually just a banner at the top) ads.

The web, specifically un-adblocked Youtube, is now at about the same point as where I quit TV. Just not worth the aggravation any more. UBlock Origin has shifted things back into favour. But will "Manifest V3" tip things back to unbearable? We'll see.

This is my use-case (very simple, fully static site- not blog), and I'd love a tool to generate it from markdown. Do you happen to have a recommendation of a simpler tool for that?
>My parents had a GE that used an analog sensor for the water and varied the amount of soap dispensed based on its feedback. No microprocessor involved

By this same argument, old car engines without microprocessors would function just as efficiently as new ones with microprocessors, yet the evidence is that modern ones are more efficient in just about every way. Microprocessors allow much more sophisticated sensor inputs and tuning of systems, including dishwashers.

>designers start to wedge them in just because they can

Designers don't wedge in anything adding cost without benefit, otherwise competing cheaper models move consumers to other products.
If you're on Android, try out https://vancedapp.com/ - it's an "Advanced" YouTube player, but they removed the "Ad"s (get it?)

Also, there's an option to enable SponsorBlock, which can automatically skip over ads, introductions, etc. that are part of the original video.

Vanced and Firefox's addons are two of the main things keeping me off of iOS.
Or remove features altogether because they don't want to support them anymore!
I run Firefox with uBlock Origin, and spend most of my time on pages like HN and other old-school forums that are mostly just text. My wife runs Chrome with all defaults and spends a lot more time in the mainstream web. Whenever she wants to show me something on her laptop, I think to myself, "how can she subject herself to this all day?!" For me, the experience in her browser is like being assaulted.

She doesn't want an ad-blocker because they do break things at times and she actually likes seeing some ads and especially getting coupon or discount offers, using things like Rakuten. I know that you can fine-tune the settings of uBlock Origin, but she doesn't want to be bothered with that.

I'm the weird one.
The core is fine, it’s being at the whim of MS’s hostile marketing and sales departments that are decidedly not boring.
Again, that was my point. Life will be fine. The point is that we should be responsible stewards and caretakers of our ecosystem, because the moral consequences of wanton destruction of something so precious and beautiful would be beyond comprehension.

With that said, no mater what we do, short of causing our sun to go supernova or collapse into a massive black hole, life in some form on Earth will be fine. Perhaps it would even recover after a few billion years and produce another intelligent species that wouldn't end up wrecking the place.
> But nothing major, that will somehow massively reduce the complexity of understanding mathematics by non-experts.

To give just one example, when done properly the use of hinting in the multi-line equational proof format will certainly ease the non-expert’s task of following a proof.
Yeah, it's more that I will run into an article on some local news site I've never visited before far more frequently than I'll end up on one I looked at previously.

They all seem to implement an ever-so-slightly different player, which means manually blocking the unique element (s) each time.

Definitely a use case for a standard community sourced list.

Oh man…
Yeah, they let some ads pass through. That is quite okay as compared to full on storm of ads.

If there was no way to block ads Id probably be happy to downsize my internet usage.
Yeah, sure, you are making a good point and I mostly agree. But my question (about which I am still confused) is why "on behalf of the perpetrators" was the claim being made.
Do you also read all the spam flyers and emails you get?
It depends on what you do on the internet. I rarely use an AdBlock on my phone, browse a lot from it and I don't find my experience hindered all that much. If AdBlock didn't exist on desktop my biggest gripe would be YouTube and then I'd just pay for it and call it a day.
I wonder if some large account acquisition somewhere somehow wound up contingent on implementing this functionality... but technical due diligence during the integration process identified that it was absolutely irrelevant... and it was subsequently declared that it was easier to just pretend the feature exists to keep the middle-manglement happy because the account was important.

Maybe. Going fishing in thin air here.
In retrospect, they were extremely ahead of the game, and they didn't even have to waste staggering amounts of energy to sell people virtual items.

This headline is misleading, the image in this tweet says you can't buy better search placement. Ads shown at Google are labelled as ads, the person is not buying a better search result placement. I do say this ignoring the fact that Google's labelling of ads has been getting more and more subtle over time but that is a separate unrelated issue.
This seems to be another attempt of generating hype around "google bad"
I have the MNT keyboard on my desk at home and its quite nice. I dont think it's clicky like a model M but it certainly makes a lot of noise. A fellow hacker who owns a Reform said they were notified of the excessive noise both at home and at a local coffee shop.

My only gripe is the keys feel a little cramped and I had to get used to the weird del key placement and the split space bar. Though I still much prefer the happy hacking 2, the MNT keyboard on a laptop sounds very nice.
Of course it's not the same thing. It's an analogy. The point is, your ownership of something simply does not entitle you to use it however you please. And frankly, what you're demanding in this case is more like the right to use other people's hardware precisely as you please. Serving your requests uses their CPU time and you're refusing to hold up your end of the deal. To go back to a car analogy, you're going to a drive-in theater and refusing to pay.
This is basically what people used to do with server-side frameworks long before the frontend framework SPA/SSG/SSR craziness wiped out people's memories.
My favorite search engine ad scam test query is "mapquest". It almost always returns sites that force you to install a malicious browser extension via the Chrome Web Store.

Reason why: Senior citizens go to MapQuest for directions because it's the term they associate with getting directions on the Internet.
Adblock plus disables the blocking if you pay them protection money.
From what I heard, Nubank hired a good deal of Elixir developers when they aqui-hired Plataformatec. I suspect having functional programming experience matters more than having concrete Clojure knowledge. It definitely didn't seem to be a problem in this case anyway.

To enable their fren2fren™ transactions of course. Only wish I was joking.

To be fair, making people pay money to hurl abuse at you with /trolltoll is an interesting twist on the usual system where you just block them. Not sure why that needs a blockchain though.

I think if I were to start over learning Emacs (I only really started using it about 6 months ago), I would have decided to choose a distro only for package discovery. I haven't found myself really pining for new functionality, but perhaps I am completely oblivious to things I'm missing. I've only really added magit to Emacs since I hated working with git on the command line.

I still imagine I would have found myself just finding what packages I like and adding them to a "pure" Emacs, since I've done that for the other tools I use on a day-to-day basis.
I got so used to having uBlock that I couldn't relate to the memes about YouTube adding multiple unskippable ads recently. I'm like "they did?". It is like I browse a different web and it's awesome.
you will want to integrate with more and more things that have not put effort into Clojure compatibility

The answer to that is to just use java interop.
> It corrupts and twists everything it touches into a constant hustle for eyeball-cash

This cannot be overstated. Everything today is a battle for eye-balls and ad money. The corruption is insane. You can't even buy appliances designed perform their function well. Instead you can buy cheap junk for less than cogs because they make money selling your data to ad companies instead of making money by making products that are actually good.

The concept of "value" for consumers has been completely twisted and I am not looking forward to seeing where this race to the bottom will end up.
don't get me wrong; I don't think anything of that is justified. I just think there is a selective pressure for this behaviour to emerge. High-profile public officials are politicians for all intents and purposes. They shouldn't be, but they are.
Right. I was thinking of non-Tesla terminals. I'm sure its not an insurmountable obstacle to add terminals to future or current charging points (if they are forced to by regulators)
Once you hit your out of pocket maximum, insurance covers everything by law. My out of pocket maximum is $5,000 and I don't have a particularly good plan. What that means is that even in the most catastrophic of medical events, I wouldn't pay more than $5k in a year. I could receive $2 million worth of advanced cancer treatments and only pay $5,000.

RE: your edit.

It’s going to be very difficult to sustain a vegan diet without having a substantial level of bean consumption, due to the poor quality of protein you’d be getting from the rest of your diet. Another possible issue could have been iron. You noted taking a multivitamin, but mineral consumption would just as likely been your main issue.
>> absolutely dwarfing the transportation and fossil fuel industries combined.

Do you have any numbers to back this dubious statement?
The Government does provide free public education to cover the read/write parts.

And yes, absolutely a subsidy for folks to get a decent smartphone would be just fine.
I've used eSignatures.io in the past, which uses Markdown for contracts, and found it to be exponentially easier to use than DocuSign, so I appreciate simpler solutions coming into the space.

There's a couple reasons why I wouldn't switch to Magistrate at this point:

1. eSignatures allows templating. Sometimes tacking on parties at the end isn't enough, because things like products or payment terms need to be parameterized inline.

2. Webhooks that allow taking actions when the contract is either rejected or signed by all parties. It's also nice to be able to attach some metadata to the contract e.g. (a purchase order #) so it comes back in the payload with the web hook.

These may be use cases you don't want to cover yet, but thought I'd list some features I've been relying on as a developer building solutions in this space.

Insert Cathy Newman "So what you're saying is..." meme.
No? I'm not sure that's the gotcha you think it is - I also don't read random web pages that I'm not interested in, and I don't sit and 'read' adverts on pages I am reading.
In all fairness, if the rest of us didn't run adblockers, they probably wouldn't need to be so aggressive with the ads for those that currently don't.

> So, is Xorg abandoned? To the extent that that means using it to actually control the display, and not just keep X apps running, I'd say yes

This seems a bit like developer hubris to me, a bit like when commercial developers are overconfident in deprecating things without understanding usage in the field. It's somewhat blind to actual usage. It isn't dead in that sense.

Now, the maintainer might not want to do it, and that's within their rights. But it's possible that somebody will step up to do any maintenance work. Which would probably be minimal but not zero.
No, looking at funding is a terrible shortcut. If you can't study the papers yourself, maybe see what other scientists think of their work? For COVID there is plenty of discussion.

If you can't figure it out, hedging your bets is better than choosing a side.
I appreciate that the reviewer takes more of a perspective of a mainstream consumer, and he does acknowledge that people caring about this kind of hardware have ther points. Some random reader stumbling upon this article wouldn't fare "better" with this laptop (well, they possibly could if they sought help from the community...). So it's a fair representation. If someone wants to appreciate this product, they probably have to adapt a slightly different mindset, not fully communicable by a review.

I am interested in MNT Reform for a long time myself, though haven't pulled the trigger yet. The different architecture thing (= some inconveniences with software) and the question of whether it would handle Zoom calls (with an external webcam of course) are among good points to consider. One definitely would have to plan their productive use around this laptop if it were to become a daily driver. I'm used to doing my serious business computing on a desktop, but still.
I find it extraordinary that in this day and age we're reaching levels of discourse so low level about such trivial ignorance. Really extraordinary, we're rediscussing (or re-wasting time) beliefs, truth, reality in ways I'd never think possible today.
what happened in the past few years where we suddenly care about misinformation to the point of demanding censorship, but only for certain classes of content (individual podcasters) as opposed to, for example, corporate media networks? it's interesting because the implicit assertion is that corporate media networks only ever 100% dispense the absolute truth, because if they didn't, they would get the same treatment as Rogan, right?

from my perspective, the best way to counter "misinformation" on Rogan's show would be to push for people with opposite viewpoints to go on his show and refute claims made previously. even better, try to get a show going where people with opposite viewpoints hash them out live for all to see, with Rogan acting as the average guy neutral moderator! weird how that's never an option, instead the only possible solution to "misinformation" is to push for outright censorship.
Networks that allowed multiple comparable paths between critical nodes 24 months ago may no longer be as redundant with so much WFH and all the other developments of the pandemic.

I do use additional addresses the reasons are:

1) if company X becomes "spammy" (as in starts sending me too many advertisements, even though they are technically not "spam"), and their "unsubscribe" link does not work, I can stop the spam by removing their email address.

2) if the address for company X suddenly starts getting wild amounts of spam, unrelated to company X, I know that it is likely company X has suffered a breach and their email list is "out there". And again I can remove the alias to stop the flood.

Almost all of them all drop into the same single inbox, so I don't have to also check N inboxes for N aliases.

It's not just ads that contribute to link sharing nightmares. If you leave certain query parameters in a Twitter link you get a hard login wall after about 10 seconds if you aren't logged in. Other sites such as Quora do something similar: redirect you to a login wall if you click to expand an answer (only if some url query param is present). On Twitter that behavior is much worse, of course. To view a reply thread you must click the share button and manually copy and paste it into a new tab or you'll get a login wall. It's truly amazing how hostile big players are to UX when they aren't getting their way.

My ex was vegan (most of the time; she would switch back and forth between vegan and vegetarian often) and she would go through times when she would experience extreme fatigue, nausea, faintness, etc.

Eventually I noticed this coincided in particular with the times she would be full vegan for a week or two at a time (though it still happened less frequently otherwise).

I did some research and discovered there are several key vitamins / minerals that you get from meat and dairy very easily but is almost (or totally?) impossible to get without supplementation if you’re vegan. So I bought her a multivitamin and the symptoms subsided substantially, though not ever completely.

Just going on gut instinct here but I personally refuse to undergo a diet that without external supplementation does not properly nourish the body with everything it needs. If our ancestors were vegan, I’m not sure we’d all be here today - and if we were I’m not sure we’d like the state we were in, especially if other societies moved away from the vegan diet.

(I’ve noticed most vegans tend to be… not very robust, shall we say. I think the world notices this too fortunately, which is why vegan will remain a fringe diet.)
