> All that mucking about they do developing high-tech copying and printing machines is just creating a commodity market in toner cartridges, which is where their profit lies.

Isn't that the exact opposite of what they are doing? I.e. creating specialized cartridges which only work on one brand of machine, rather than a commodity that is interchangeable with other brands?
Interesting just means "properly aligned with incentive", which in this case is to make money

"Embedded" is a very broad term. The vast majority of true embedded systems will not be able to afford running a VM, or even using dynamic memory.

Note that since 2007, Blue Ray players are required to run a JVM to support the 'bonus view' feature. The number of devices beefy enough to run VMs has only grown since.
>I can't wait for that bubble to burst.

If it does it will certainly have an affect on the media that's available for you to watch and/or require you to pay a lot more directly.
I know the realities and I don't think this factor is irrelevant - hosting can cost a lot. I bemoan ads specifically, because I think as they are and were, they are a net negative for humanity. Having an addiction fueling platform in exchange for it doubles down on this negativity. I'm thinking where ads are the answer, or the main enabler of content, then the content itself is questionable, is what I'm trying to get at.
Ah, I see. That's probably a bit too much tooling for a small OSS utility, manual updates would get me a long way there. The other issue is that it doesn't matter that the UI is exactly up to date, just good enough to give the user an idea of the functionality.
Labor efficiency didn't lift anyone from poverty, social policies did. We are more efficient than any time in history but we still have to work full time to survive.
I’ve been using JQBX with a small group of friends and we love it! It works pretty flawlessly except for the occasional song just refusing to play.
Which means you either need to pay active attention to the muted ads—something that sounds worse than having them on in the background, imo—or you run a risk of missing part of whatever film/tv show you're watching—again, I'd rather just make the sacrifice of having the ads on and not paying attention to them.
I love Discord because people were jerks on forums and they are nice on Discord.

Something about knowing this flame war is for the permanent record (and the fact it keeps getting bumped) just seems to drive people off the deep end.
That sounds indistinguishable from forums or subreddits, which are usually touted as superior alternatives to Discord. Your final point actually makes Discord look preferable to the other two, as Discord servers have found a solution to a problem predating Discord.
Something we're trying to do about this on the Matrix side is MSC2716 (https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/blob/matthew/msc271...) - the ability to import archives of existing content into Matrix, and thus 'lock it open' and decentralise it for posterity: as long as one of the servers participating in that room stays alive (and the room is set up with infinite data retention, obviously) then the conversation will live on forever. (That MSC is also well worth a look for those interested in how Matrix works under the hood; MSC2716 was a surprisingly tricky problem to solve but it's basically finished now!).

Our first step will be to import all of Gitter's archives into Matrix - but we're then planning to add MSC2716 to all the existing Matrix bridges so that folks can use it to liberate chat history from Discord and Slack if desired, and avoid it getting paywalled/siloed/lost/held-hostage forever. We're also expecting to do USENET, mailing lists, forums, public IRC channels which have explicitly opted into logging... and generally archive as much possible in an open decentralised fashion, and ensure that gatekeepers can't lock up and blackhole info going forwards. After all, information longs to be free :)

If implemented with even the furthest reaches of understanding and blockchain tech that I’m aware of, I feel this would be (much closer to) a dystopia.

The solution to the problem of having too many options is probably not best solved by picking one based on someone from the internet without evidence or comparison.

The solution to many people debating is not to just pick one side of the debate because the debate doesn't matter - you think.
But the math we teach in school is context-sensitive. It matters what set your inputs are from and what set the output is supposed to be in. We usually don't mention that we're doing math on real numbers, we assume that based on the context.

22 + 8 = 6

This would be incorrect in an average math class, but when you're dealing with the clock then it's something understands. 8 hours after 10 pm is 6 am.

ab = ba

We teach the commutative property as though it is universal, but it isn't. With real numbers? Sure! Swap two matrices though and you're in trouble.

I don't think kids should necessarily be taught differently, but there is definitely (implicit) context involved in math. Even in geometry: the inner angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees, right? But in spherical geometry the sum of the inner angles of a triangle can be larger.
Same sentiment here. I was able to whip up what I need quickly with FW.
I appreciate the offer. Otherwise I did have a superb experience with the medical system, that is real doctors not state workers with lapsed qualification.
There is zero ASIC anything in this article.

It's entirely about breaking into the (commodity linux based) control plane for a ASIC miner system.

If they were looking at re-using the actual ASICs for other stuff (do they run microcode? Who knows!) that would be neat. As it is, it's just typical junk-hacking.

------

An ASIC-miner is called an ASIC-miner because it contains ASICs. The author of this post seems to be referring to a system containing ASICs as "an ASIC". This is fundamentally incorrect. Considering the author of the post has also apparently written an entire book about monero, it's a pretty spectacularly egregious error.
no offense, but this answer sums up the reason why Discord is more popular than IRC.

Not to say that Discord isnt deeply flawed in many respects, like client weight/resource usage, abysmal search (in server but especially DMs, coarse and clunky permissions systems, audit situation? and the very fact that using animated emojis will cost you 5 dollars per month is just stealing sweets from children, and their absolutely sickening boost (ponzi?) scheme...
I'm not an academic at all.

My more factual observation is that you're quick to leap to huge assumptions, and you seem angry when people disagree with you.
> What does “fake” even mean in this context?

Fake means the seller/creator of the NFT didn't own the content in the NFT.

If you use an image/music/book that someone has got a legal trade mark/copyright on and you reproduce it you are breaking their copyright. Copy a photo and change a pixel, or change a small part of a music track or a few words in a book and reproduce (in an NFT or not) you're breaking their copyright - selling a fake and likely will be sued.

It would be interesting if the NFT didn't contain or point to a copy of the original content (picture, tweet etc.) but just included its name (an NFT of "The first Jack Dorsey Tweet").
Sorry, still seems like a lot of your argument is just trying to rationalize your decision to not get out of Android/iOS - which was the whole point of the conversation.

- Even if a bank does not have a mobile app, they still have a website which you can then access from any phone with a web browser. It does not depend on an Android/iOS app.

- Even if your city does not have an alternative app like Magic Earth (doubtful) you can just use the Google Maps website.

- Uber also does not require the app: https://www.uber.com/en-GB/blog/request-uber-online-without-...

Some months back somebody, in a HN thread, posted a link to an Adobe forum post where Adobe linked to an older version of Photoshop that was free and legal to download. It didn't require their cloud solution, and they also provided a serial number for it.

I've tried several times to find that link again, but always failed. Does this ring a bell with somebody?
Right but scale is a technological problem, not an advertising one.

Do you think glossy ads in niche magazines are a problem?
Yeah, so instead your create accounts and have your email and potentially password stored in plaintext on some random guys server which they won't keep updated anyway so all your shit will get leaked anyway

At the end of the day, if a university gives out grades, there has to be some sort of objective way of handing out a grade. What I have seen for the good courses is it is a mixture of exams, projects, and homework.

Some students are very good at taking exams, others, not so much. This can be due to a learning disability, stress over test taking, etc (or it could even be that person just is having a bad day!). Having homework and projects allows for students to have a different way of showing that they understand the coursework, and are able to apply the material.

It also gives the professor and TAs insight into the student. Why is a student doing so well on homeworks, and not the exam or project?

Some courses have it where if youre final grade on the exam is an A, you get an A (since it is a comphrensive knowledge base test of what you are expected to know of the material). But, let's say you don't do as well on the exam, you can have the homeworks average out the exam grade. Or you have a project, that can help equalize out the grades, because the application of the knowledge is important as well.
Exit signs is an example I'd not thought of before. That's a good one.
You joke, but stablecoins are well on their way to sustaining crypto-currencies and mainstreaming its adoption.
I'm a strong believer in Zulip with respect to a perfect mix between instant messaging and actually retaining information

- functionality for a public export (can also restrict to specific channels), .e.g. https://leanprover-community.github.io/archive/

- in addition to the above, they are working on a guest mode, so you can read the discussions without logging in -- hopefully that would make it possible to index without setting up a separate archive hosting https://github.com/zulip/zulip/issues/13172

- messages/threads have proper meaningful URLs (unlike random obfuscated UUIDs like in Discord)

- you can easily open things in new tabs -- unlike Discord, where search pane takes like 10% of the screen, or Slack where once you clicked on search result, you lose the context about the remaining results

- you can login with Github (so no need to register for many people, at least for programming-related projects)
i think it could be solved by bot that can watch message and if someone asks_and_answers question that might be useful for broader people you could do something like /makrbot mark 5 then it will publish recent 5 conversation to some read only seachengine indexable public page, maybe also anonymize usernames.

This is how most people think about software too, since FOSS started.
Join a startup with a bit more chaos and lesser management heavy processes, ticket tracking, spreadsheet, charts and management speak garbage.
honestly, I though the pollution and wildlife aggression were put in the game as balancing elements (urge to switch power source, force to invest in defences, slow expansion) rather than any commentary
A subreddit is a horrible place for discussion though.
nah, nowadays they use IPFS
I rather like previews/trailers as long as there aren't too many of them.

Paying to avoid ads and get more interesting programming seems like a perfectly valid flex. I'd probably do it more broadly if I could. Content costs money to produce. Someone has to pay for it somehow. And I pay less for streaming today than I paid for my cable TV subscription.
...so nothing of substance is hiding there, because AT commands from Bluetooth peripherals have no way to reach the modem (they just happen to speak same-ish language the modem does).
Yip, does ring a bell. I believe it was the CS2 version. I also remember downloading it some 6-7 years ago on Windows.
I'm a huge fan of Musk's engineering work, but comparing the American pioneers to early Martian settlers is naive at best.

Humans have evolved on Earth. Even the least habitable place on Earth (e.g. Antarctica) is paradise in comparison to Mars. Mars settlement using current technology is an intractable problem.

Musk is selling his vision as an aspirational goal, not something achievable in his (or any of our) lifetimes. He knows better than anyone that a planet without a magnetosphere, fertile soil or a breathable atmosphere (just to name a few) is a death trap for humanity. But he has made it his life purpose to get the ball rolling.

If we look at the goal of colonizing our solar system rationally, a far more optimal strategy is robotic colonization. Advances in AI are now making it possible to fundamentally change how manufacturing is done via robotics. Once this happens, Mars colonization becomes far more feasible. Musk knows this, hence his pivot of Tesla from cars to robotics. The idea of sending people onto a hostile planet, where they then build a colony is archaic. People will arrive once the colony is fully built and operational.
Not the first NFT marketplace to shut down; and won't be the last. Depending on the implementation, this may or may not have much of an impact on the assets being distributed and/or traded on the platform.[1]

I suspect most marketplaces that take a completely open and decentralized approach will struggle against spam, plagiarism, and regulation.

Sounds like the honeymoon phase of starting a new software project. The second you hit a problem there’s no beautiful solution to, the magic is gone.
The site mentions that 1.0 is implemented by four major browser engines but the spec that it provides is 1.1 which is still being developed (last update was just a couple of weeks ago).

Though it is annoying that you can't find the 1.0 spec - you know, the one that actually works - in the site. You can find it[0] at W3C by clicking around the W3C links in the site, but there isn't a direct link. Also annoying that there isn't any downloadable form (the SingleFile extension on Firefox seems to work though).

I don’t think this is a new revelation, but rather someone re-stating what was already stated in the original doc introducing source generators that I’ve read a few month ago, around November 2021-ish? … which said something along the lines that they explicitly making it impossible to use it for AOP.

Personally I think that dogmatic crusade against AOP while adding a menagerie of syntax sugar hieroglyphics :? :: !! :+ … is a bit misguided, but whatever.
Right, if your response to "are you watching the game?" is "no, I can't watch it", fair enough. My scorn is more reserved for people who willingly volunteer the "I don't have a TV" information as some kind of 'badge of honour', yet they watch five hours of Netflix on their laptop every evening.
> If you look carefully you might notice that your argument is also a critique of capitalism.

This, and also the modern era of mass-consumption of cheap goods.
Ads would've resulted in people complaining about user experience. And no one pays a full "lifetime" for anything. For an acquisition like this it's usually a multiple of 5 years of earnings. Probably more because of the popularity.
I think you answered your own question. A lot of people want the ability to watch sports. (And, while they're paying for it anyway many like the TV as background.)
I hate the discordification of communities. A lot of them did not survive the modern era and moved en masse there, but the experience is miserable, and they're usually moderated in a manner that doesn't spur discussion ("move to this section for X topic", et cetera, that's just one I see often). Finding content? You have to use some weird bot or the awful search function worthy of a high school assignment website project. Besides, it's also difficult to access it from my recent experience. You can provide a valid email and phone number, validate, and it may still suspend you for "violating ToS" (?) immediately after signing up. I don't think it's suited for a lot of things that end up on there, that shouldn't really be in IM-form, but maybe it's just old-me.
Completely agree with you on performance, certainly on any mobile device with less than 5yo tech. I think there are still a few performance problems on older/low-end hardware, that’s why for social media type apps I would recommend native. You would have the same perf problems with Flutter and React Native on that hardware.

I have only one significant complaint that effects Capacitor on iOS and it’s a WebKit bug (Ionic can’t fix it). With WebKit on iOS if you have an overflow:scroll with a text input of any kind (basically any app you build) the text cursor or selection highlight will remain visible outside the overflow area when you scroll. So for example if you select text in an input and scroll the view so the input is under a fixed toolbar, the selection highlight or cursor is visible infront of the toolbar. It looks very messy, I wish Apple would fix it. The minute you see it you know it’s not a native app.
I eat mango (10 per year?), but I never opened the shell of the seed. I thought it was the seed.

Does anyone know why the leaves are initially so dark and then become lighter? Is that common in plants?
Yeah, maybe I'm closer to your parents' generation, maybe broadcast TV is still better enough in the UK that it's worth watching — I still do. Obviously, I recognise your point about younger people watching less broadcast.
There is an uninstaller for the cloud client available. It does what it says actually.
Great write up. But, yes, this project was 100% doomed from the start — it’s essentially “violate Twitter TOS as a service.” I recall seeing the link title on HN (“ Show HN: Download Twitter data without API keys”) and thinking, wow, no chance that will last a day.
It’s utterly depressing watching people fish out cash for an MFJ tuner these days. They still sell the things and they still command a stupid price for a thoroughly inferior device.

The two guys I know who still own them only do so because they are Sinophobes and MFJ stuff is (terribly) assembled in the US still.
I worked extensively with Adobe InDesign, InCopy, and Photoshop while working in magazines. Not much on designs but worked on existing files and templates form the designers as well as integrations.

After I left I was looking for a solution and couldn’t justify Adobe’s pricing for my own small project and picked up the Affinity suite for a song while it was on sale last autumn.

It’s great. It doesn’t have absolutely everything and I’ve had to learn new controls and all that but it’s not hard to learn and they’ve done everything I’ve needed them to do.

For a seasoned user of InDesign it’s entirely different and I could understand hesitation—I’ve known designers who tried and just couldn’t get the workflow down but for me it’s been fantastic.
It takes years to get hardened to advertising and stop spending money based on it. There is a sucker born every minute.
When, for instance, a science is young, the same concept is often explained using many different terms. Over time canonical naming conventions emerge which standardize the settled parts of the field, leaving less settled future frontiers to be discussed productively with the aid of shorthand.

All named theorems do this in math, continually compressing the lexical space as a way of enabling further out ideas to be even expressed. Granted, math may be the except that proves the rule, but it is an important one.
> I for one am very glad that systemd modernized things a bit and helped remove some of this stuff from the equation.

I, for one, I'm glad there are still options and that even Debian let the door open to, one day, switching to something else than systemd.

I'm running Devuan (Chimaera) now and it's fine (for my needs).

It's not all rosy: there's something to be said about the insane kitchen sink that systemd is. Having the PID1 so gigantic, with its tentacles everywhere in the system, ain't something the Linux community should be proud of. I'm very happy that, so far, Linus is resisting and nothing in the kernel is (yet?) tied to systemd.

Linux is about choices too. The day there ain't no choice anymore, I'm switching to a BSD.

I'm running Linus' Linux. Not IBM/Red Hat/Poettering's Linux.
Yes, but his work here on prefix sum is very recent, he just started telling people about it on Twitter this past week (specifically, the improvement due to interleaving).
They have always thought that way about software. All my early-childhood games (even on the Commodore 64) came from copied floppy disks. In my teens I bought my own games, but those were always group-buys: I had copies of all the games my friends bought too, and they had copies of mine.
It seems like AI could be setup to address this. I would think it would be insanely useful.

Personally, I’d rather look at an enriched summary than the original chat log in most cases. Can somebody get on this please :)
It doesn't because it's already in my RAM. Or swap. If you're OK with it being in swap, you gotta be OK with me saving it to disk manually.
Amazing, so it's not my brain playing games with me. Any chance you would be able to find the link, I don't seem to have the skills.
Because they can and there are is no real competition. Epic Game Store so far is laughtable attempt at pumping money into user-hostile service that missing tons of features. For now the only good reason to release on EGS is Epic giving your company money.

Disclosure: I work at small indie PC gamedev studio.

I just point out how Valve changed rules for big companies back in 2018. So they have different revenue share compared to both Apple / Google and consoles.
I guess the specific "pedantic technicality" I was thinking of was the "I watch Netflix on a big screen in the corner of my room, but I don't have TV". I get why, in a very limited number of scenarios, that might be useful or interesting information, but a huge amount of the time it isn't.
What he described is not only a Discord "issue", it applied to other modern communication tools as well. I feel Discord is better than Slack because there is no 10K searchable message limit for free accounts and ridiculous pricing model.
