Agree! I have been building a React/Next capacitor application for a Dutch e-commerce with a colleague.

Up until now everything is fine for our purposes and performance is near native. Usually similar e-commerce apps require multiple teams, or at least 5+ employees, to release an app on web, Android and iOS. Due to the fact that we have just one single codebase, we can still manage it with the 2 of us.

I also recommend the Capacitor community on Discord in case you need help getting started.
I don't know. I remember paying for the Borland C compiler, which was quite a lot of money for a teen (like $600 IIRC).

Then I discovered Unix/Linux and so it was the last piece of software I bought.
They just had an update where they made the "Instruct" engines the defaults and took them out of beta, so there's some new stuff to check out. An OSS competitor just released their own model the other day, too.
TV is changing meaning.

It used to be synchronous broadcast on a schedule, on a channel chosen from a small selection. If you watched TV, you could be reasonably expected to talk about the thing that was on last night.

With on demand, scheduled releases etc. it's much less well defined. If you only watch movies on Netflix, it's probably not "TV" as a cultural artifact, but if you're watching the latest Star Wars or Marvel series on Disney, then probably you are, despite there being little difference in technology.
That’s an opening to discus the differences between git and github, since pull requests are not a part of git.

(I agree that merge requests is a much better name.)
This. There are some limitations on how many keys you can request, but it's purely to stop abuse. E.g you can't ask for million keys for title that sold 10 copies, but it's super easy to get tens and hundred thousands of keys if your title is modestly popular.
> Does anyone know why the leaves are initially so dark and then become lighter? Is that common in plants?

I’ve noticed the same thing in frangipani. I assume it has something to do with the same amount of chlorophyll being distributed over a greater area, but that’s just a guess.

Also note that the leaves don’t just get lighter as they grow: the older ones also start to become dark again as they die.
Propagating the niceness of a process by default is perfectly normal and most OSes do it by default. E.g. Windows propagates IDLE_PRIORITY_CLASS or BELOW_NORMAL_PRIORITY by default.

So much of the "Unix processes" theory. Given systemd did not stop to use "Unix processes", that should also have been a clue.

The issue was about the postinst script which either missed that it should have done something differently, or is maybe just not designed to be run nicely so the users broke an (implied) contract by calling it that way.
Sounds like your network is blocking it. Company computers?
On the other hand, it's good that not everything we do and say on the Internet gets stored permanently in some database.
Indeed I have not, its 1.0 release came after I had moved on from that job. Does not look as nice to me, from a first glance, but that might be misleading. Thanks for the hint.
I never thought of Pat Sajak as a comedian but it's nice to see a celebrity that understands the privilege and, at the same time, frivolity of their position. The streak of grand prize wins isn't surprising but the selected Pat Sajak quotes are enjoyable.

Not at all. Db is not linear, so "suddenly have to put up with" "about 1/4 of the noise." Would be more accurate.

An example difference of 12db is a muffled idling compact car versus a consumer lawnmower at 10'.
Possibly the concern with sharing answers is that students could memorize the form of likely exam questions without deeply understanding the material? But that risk exists simply by sharing the questions so I’m not sure I find that argument persuasive.

I’ve always been rather disappointed by the lack of solutions in math books. I mean, on the one hand, it’s a great feeling to crack a difficult problem unaided, and there’s something to be said for building the intellectual discipline one needs to attack a problem with no easy answer.

But also, there are some problems that I never manage to solve because I “time out,” and it’s possible that as a result I’ve missed the opportunity to learn techniques that will be useful in the future.
I recently experimented with Rust's std::simd library prototype, and it gave me the same sense of wasted potential.

My program performed complicated processing of large 8-bit grayscale images. Naive use of portable SIMD made several important parts of the algorithm run ten times faster than my integrated-GPU implementation! (OpenGL ES 3.0 over ANGLE on an Intel HD Graphics 520)

I think the sheer power of modern SIMD has slipped past most peoples' radar. A multicore processor with AVX2 has number-crunching throughput comparable to a low-end GPU, and for some workloads, the extra flexibility of the CPU can unlock an additional order-of-magnitude performance uplift. (The comparison may be a little different if you're programming the GPU with modern compute shaders - I'm not sure.)

Portable SIMD programming is also just fun! Trying to keep my working set within the 32 KiB L1 cache, trying to keep my data packed within individual 8-bit lanes, and lacking access to some basic operations like integer multiplication and division - it almost feels like programming for a retro games console.

Lightning is way too bleeding edge to describe it as "useful for buying stuff". It also depends on some pretty complex P2P routing layer to supposedly enable arbitrary transactions out of bidirectional channels - AFAICT, that's basically vaporware that has yet to be developed. Let's get back to this when it's actually working as intended.

(One flaw in the article is that it talks about "permissioned blockchains" as if that was a meaningful concept. A permissioned blockchain is just a database. In fact, put a database's physical storage in git version control - which uses Merkle trees under the hood to provide immutable history tracking - and you've got something even physically indistinguishable from "permissioned" blockchain tech!)

Yeah, I get that there are more sensible variations of the LTV, but I still subscribe to a more utility and relativity based view. I think labor is almost always a core ingredient in effecting supply and adding utility, but I think the core determinant of value is supply and relative utility.

Also agree about it not being a left wing thing and acknowledge that left wing ideas are all not anti free market.
This is a lot of fun; spent way more time than I should have on this just now.

I do not think that it is unreasonable question. I generally assume that authors have more ideas about their fictional worlds and characters than are revelaed in their books. But there is clearly difference between authors about level of their internal worldbuilding, where one extreme is Tolkien and opposite one is perhaps Douglas Adams.

Amazing video! I recently found some ginkgo seeds and have also been trying to make them grow. Some had naturally germinated, so I tried to replicate the conditions where I found those ones (covered with ~1cm of soil, in a shady spot, receiving some rain), but no luck as of now. Perhaps I should try soaking some in water in a closed container as shown in the video. (Assuming it is water, of course; a clear liquid could be nearly anything.)

Discourse is an atrocious blob. If anyone is looking for a sleek forum software, Flarum is the answer IMO, https://flarum.org/

It's PHP, but requires composer so not as easy to setup in shared hosting as old forum software like MyBB et al.
I am constantly infuriated by companies who sell actual products but leave user support up to some crowdsourced endless scrolling nightmare. Even if they do have a forum the topics (if they exist) will be so broad that everything gets jumbled in together. The search function is often sub par and kind of useless for new users who may not know the exact keywords they are looking for and apart from a little gamification (points or titles) you have no idea which is an authoritative answer or who actually knows what they're talking about. Ask any technical question anywhere on one of these and you're bound to get someone telling you to reinstall your operating system/reset your device to factory settings no matter how minor the actual fix is.

Give me a well-maintained wiki any day.

Sure, tacit knowledge is a real thing that people talk about. But I see expertise as a kind of navigation through murky waters rather than "theory" which tends to be an explicit thing.

One thing experts can do is tell you when a theory is applicable.
Pixelmator Pro is excellent.

Photoshop’s workflows are etched into my muscle memory, so while I like Affinity Photo, it’s just different enough to be frustrating.

Pixelmator Pro on the other hand works exactly how I expect. It’s quick, fully featured and just plain pleasant to use. Thoroughly recommended.
Never liked that branding for idiots.

I've used OpenBSD since 2000. I own a PinebookPro. The tired and lame title makes me think the author is a joke (right or wrong) and I end up not wanting to bother giving this a try.

There is a business model there, but it isn't "write 50 lines to talk to the Twitter API", it's "play cat & mouse with Twitter's anti-scraping techniques".

The latter is absolutely valuable and you can make money off it, but it requires significant resources - access to a large pool of IP addresses, an decent engineering team to be able to defeat the protections in a timely manner (as they change constantly) and either be based in a jurisdiction where you can ignore Twitter's lawsuits or have enough cash to litigate it out.
What's your issue with it? I'm surprised how well it works, how you can search for something and quickly jump to the context.

Server-Sent Events: an alternative to WebSockets
After InDesign killed Aldus PageMaker, I say while pouring one out for desktop publishing as it was known then.
I remember having the habit of always doing “cd /” before restarting services. This was because, when starting a service manually, this service would similarly inherit the current working directory of the shell, and many services would behave weirdly in various ways. Running a root shell, your current directory was most often either “/root”, or something like “/home/someuser” if you had done “su” or the like. The “/root” directory was unreadable by unprivileged users, and if the service lowered its privileges by changing user id to an unprivileged user, the service was no longer allowed to access its current directory, often leading to weird errors. The “/home/someuser” directory was also a source of errors, since the service might happily be creating weird files there, sometimes owned by the root user. Also, if the “/home/someuser” directory was mounted via NFS, you might get access permission errors if the NFS server had squashroot configured (as it should), but it might also lead to weird behavior when the NFS server itself was restarted or taken down; this seemingly unrelated service would start behaving weirdly, just because its current working directory was a directory served by the NFS server.

In short, yeah, life before systemd was hard.
Thanks, will check him out as well.

The seed can be planted with the husk, but removing it speeds up the germination because the embryo can access light and water more easily.

The steelman case for NFTs:

The NFT is the legally agreed upon ledger to track rights that were originally signed away — in a way that can trace their authenticity and ease transactions.

The problem is that NFTs are deeds and a deed is only as good as the issuer. NFTs are the crypto side of the interface, but we’re currently missing the wetware side — trusted providers.

I think the long term vision is:

- artist signs over rights to digital art house

- art house sells the NFT

- valid licenses are signed by wallet privkey as proof

- DRM traces signature against blockchain

(I’m not sure I agree, but I can see uses for digital deeds — once you have reputable providers.)
It looks like quite a thick weave currently but that’s only going to get better.

Having lived and worked in the tech industry in Cambridge (used to design biotech/medical devises) this is exactly the type of development that the university and local business are brilliant at scaling up and industrialising. There is a lot of Seed/VC funding available from previous founders who are looking for exciting tech to invest in. And the local skills there are amazing, I loved my time working for Cambridge tech companies.
Discord is so overwhelming. I tried a few month ago to join programming related servers, and holy shit, what a stressful experience! I’m not that old school but compared to forums it is just so hard to follow what is happening with all those notifications and discussions happening at the same time.

After muting all servers and channels, and only joining small-ish communities things started to become better but I cannot imagine keeping the client open and try to follow what is happening, it feels like a full time job.

Of course I may be using the tool incorrectly, people seem to appreciate IRC and I never understood what was attractive about it, outside of small groups.

Are you envisioning homogenous L2s, or those more specialized in nature? I envision the latter, which would mean the number that any individual entity is exposed to would be limited.

The article makes this point and the headline which several have objected to does not mention rates of infection in the two populations. New infection volumes are also affected by the population infection rate in the respective groups and the time to diagnose and treat. If you wanted to be a bore, you could model the number of expected encounters with the virus in each population and figure out the relative transmission rates too.

The take away from the article is that your risk as a man who does not have sex with men is nonzero and that regular testing is important to personal health outcomes and to keeping infection rates low, and that cheap and effective preventative measures are available, including PReP and PEP. After thirty-odd years of dealing with it, MSM be aware.
There’s similar issues with gold currency. Gold is a self custody asset like Bitcoin:

Just as dollars used to use a gold standard, Lightning is using a Bitcoin standard.

So it’s an asset that can be used as a base layer for currency.

> and therefore never need to look back at it

Time passes by, memories fade away and sometimes you have to find that very piece of information you remember it's somewhere in there. I had to look for information on forums I was active in ten years before. Some of them were there, easily searchable or not, some went away. It seems that Discord is on the hard side of the searchability spectrum.

Even Tolkien was not able to satisfactorily answer fundamental questions like the origin of orcs.
I agree with this statement and am disheartened that the solution for communities (in particular developer communities) that is now winning is Discord. This is however not a new problem. Both Slack and Twitter are also black holes of information by design. Lots of interesting conversation, but nearly impossible to discover externally.

I think community maintainers are choosing it because it has the best moderation tools and community management tools compared to the alternatives.

> Because advertising is manufactured demand.

Sorry, this is dogmatic and thoroughly ignorant.

Here's an example from yesterday. I'm visiting a new country. I knew I wanted to go on a tour, not sure which one. I went to Airbnb to check my messages, and was ADVERTISED an "Architecture tour of the city".

Also consensus. The thief may think they should get to keep the painting, but if most people don't agree, police or no police they'll have trouble keeping that painting. In that case to keep it they will most likely have to hide it, and then what's even the point?

A notional monopoly on violence is important, but even in a police state it just isn't enough. You must achieve a broad consensus that, even if this isn't good, it's better than the alternative, and if that ceases to be true in the minds of a great many people their alternative is going to assert itself right quick.
I’m old too and use slack without any notifications or sound. I just am in a habit of checking it frequently during the day.

It sounds like you don't understand about various crafts. To me they are a quite analogous to programming.

Also, code has barely changed at all since C. It's all just some variables, loops, flow control, some math operations and doing stuff with strings sometimes.

No paradigm or design pattern or whatever will save you from making a mess.
For me, the more experienced I've become, the less those things matter.
For growing mango from seed, or really anything from seed, you cannot beat a small plastic container (like what cottage cheese, sour cream, or green yogurt might come in) filled halfway with coconut coir. It's absolutely the best medium for germinating seed. Fill halfway with coir and water once a week. Coconut coir keeps water evenly distributed and I've never had a seed or seedling mold over using it.

I personally use 2 lb greek yogurt (or soup, as in from Costco) containers because the extra height also lets me keep the seed in there longer and develop initial root structure. That's incredibly helpful for transferring to pots, and a little coconut coir in the soul doesn't hurt.
