YouTube is promoting shorts hard to compete with TikTok.

A lot of content creators are seeing short term spikes in their shorts engagement due to this YouTube promotion strategy and cannibalizing their channel in the process, focusing on content that can match shorts vs. higher value but longer content.
The Dispossessed was a fantastic book but you're taking away the wrong thing if you're using Anarresti propaganda to sum up the work. The full title of the book is "The Dispossessed: An Ambiguous Utopia" and Anarres has many problems.
Elixir. It's a bit hard to find jobs that actually use LiveView (which would relatively shield you from the world of NPM) but they're out there and pay pretty well. It isn't a silver bullet and not without its problems, but I'm incredibly happy with it.
1. I make mind maps and do inline annotation a la marginalia.

2. I haven't figured out a process for compilation but my plan is to condense big concepts into readable texts with the intent of sharing them with others.

3. Spaced repetition works, but it is labor-intensive. I use a combination of spaced repetition, mnemonic images (like Sketchy.com), memory palaces and reflective journaling to process my hands-on experiments.

4. I can combine my mind maps to see connections between texts. For example, maybe one book talks about scalability in passing, and another goes in-depth. If I compare those two maps I can see the gaps between each and it helps me see how the two texts are related.
Yeah it's pretty ironic that a "legitimate" NFT venture and a project invented solely for social engineering are indistinguishable even for someone who presumably knows a lot about the crypto space.
> It's unfortunate that better designs haven't caught on, aren't readily available, and tend to be inordinately expensive.

Do you have any links to examples of these different designs? After using a bunch of different chairs, I'm seriously considering just repurposing my piano stool, even though I'll lose all the back support.

I just can't find anything sustainably comfortable and supportive.
I'd argue that for most gambling, it's not a decision, but an addiction or false hope financial decision. Those that treat it as a entertainment don't really gamble that much money.

Not sure if that's true by number of gamblers, but my gut says it's mostly true weighed by the amount of money gambled away. I say mostly, because we don't count rich kids / oligarchs wasting money for fun, who might dominate the value chart.

Its not possible to make an app that actually does this on Android due to permissions; but sometimes I day dream of an app that automatically shifts your phones time using the current GPS location. Not by which timezone you are in, but by when solar noon would be based on your exact location.
"Pretty terrible" is awfully strong. I've heard a lot of terrible music and this doesn't make that cut. What you're reading is a nice writeup of some theory, with a worked example to showcase how to utilize some features of a library which is a work in progress. The author even notes that the music is simplified for the example. It isn't meant to be Bethoven. It isn't even AI. If you want to see AI, other people have done that already.

What's cool about this library isn't the quality of the (midi, retch) output -- what's cool is the actual Python library behind it, and the writeup, which are both super easy to read and follow.
I don't think we're in disagreement?

In any case: the really egregious examples of civil asset forfeiture are the petty ones: the government stops someone for the crime of DWB[1], and seizes all of the property they have on their person (including, sometimes, the car itself.) It's a disgusting crime, but one that doesn't typically extend to the victim's bank accounts or other financial resources, unless there's a larger case being pursued against them. And so, once again, it's not clear how cryptocurrency improves the state of affairs: either you're carrying a hot wallet around with you for your day-to-day expenses (in which case you're subject to the same seizure), or it's roughly equivalent to a traditional financial produce and isn't subject to a spurious seizure (but might be subject to a larger one).

It's easy to pine for the good outcomes. The reality for most people is abusive bosses, wage theft, various exciting diseases from exposure and overwork without the health insurance or savings to deal with it.
I assume the logic is that they shouldn't have "unusual" words as answers but shouldn't gatekeep too much about what words you enter as that would be frustrating.
Hey! Thank You for creating datastation.

A friend who went to college with me says Tibia was his first programming experience. He says he used to write scripts for it. As others have mentioned, lots of my friends here in Brazil played Tibia.
I don't really get that impression at all.

While Hugo documentation is not great, it does exist and given that this is open source, I assume you or I could improve it.

I have asked issues both on their forum as well as on git and while terse the main personalities have never been rude or condescending.

You certainly don't need to know Go to use Hugo (thou knowing Go templates and it's dsl will help).

If it helps you, I use a Go templates VSC plugin when editing Hugo templates.

I would love to know more about where you are having issues.
Am I the only person offended that they hijacked the word "meta"?
I realized this is misleading as an answer to your question, but it's too late to edit. Block producers (i.e. miners) don't need to keep track of chain state, but provers need to know the state of block n-1 to generate a proof for block n. In practice, the current state is pretty small, but admittedly way more than 22KB: I just synced a node and its data directory is 235MB.

The zero-knowledge proofs still provide the advantage that historical state doesn't need to be kept by anybody: if news of a better chain tip comes along (including while bootstrapping), it'll come with a recursive proof of its validity, whereas with Bitcoin et al. it'd need to check if it's building on a valid block (and thus keep at least the hashes of previous blocks).
Very different places. Lived downtown for 15 years. Never been to Mercer island as it pretty much only residential and hard to access. Those can be good or bad depending on the person.
> Crypto doesn't displace trust --- it misplaces it

That’s a hardcore misunderstanding of the technology! It makes transparent what until now has been very opaque.
Venmo and PayPal are, to the best of my knowledge, settled via ACH if you use a bank as your source of funds. That's what I've always done, since it provides the greatest amount of personal control over my transactions.

If you use a payment card (debit or credit) with a payment service, then they might use either the payment card's network or ACH, depending on what the card issuer supports.
It's literally whoever owns the keys listed as the registrant owns the domain. If you lose your keys you lose your domain. You have no recourse if someone squats on your domain, uses a lookalike domain for phishing, steals your domain, etc.. And for the privilege of having a judgement proof blockchain with no oversight you get to buy your domain from an early adopter that's squatting (investing) and you get to pay fees every time you blink.

All the crypto bros printed (mined) a bunch of monopoly money (coins), invented assets (NFTs), bought (allocated to themselves) all the assets (NFTs) using their monopoly money (coins), and want us to buy into these crappy systems with real money so they can sell us the assets (NFTs) while still being the landlords (transaction processors) that charge us rent (fees) on everything forever.
Cool article. The pitch based measurement does seem sensible enough for some people. And more accurate then squeezing spokes with your hand.

Still, I trust my ability to read a tension meter more than my ability to match pitch. Props to anyone who feels otherwise - pitch pipes are much cheaper than good tension meters.
Forteiture scenario 1: cops take your cash. It's on you to sue them and prove to a court that it's legitimately yours.

Scenario 2: they take your hardware wallet, then they must prosecute you and prove to a court that the money is not legitimately yours, to get the key. IANAL, but am I wrong?
I've heard the tram drivers make $150k ...
Yes, I do think it's unreasonable. .

When people speak in generalities it makes conversation vague but entertaining. It doesn't differentiate between policies that work and ones that don't. eg: most civilians don't understand the difference between this graph: DOD <> State Department <> SOCOM.

I'm not trying to shade the person that responded to me, but I think this is a learning opportunity. They clearly know very little about what they're talking about in general, but it sounds like they've heard detailed specific stories and applied it to the wider concept. This is entertaining, maybe to some (to me it's not, I don't like being cast as a war criminal by presumption), but utterly lacking in information to learn from (future policy) or worth remembering (history). Instead, it's only function is divisiveness and furor.

War won't stop any time soon and warrior culture needs to go in existing so long as war is constant so that we continue to fight wars with discipline and some amount of honor. If you remove information and history in favor of conjecture, we can do neither.

More specifically, there's a lot of stories I could tell about having to interact in near-proximity to SOCOM that may shed light on why strange things seem to happen with them so often. That said, if I'm spending all my time trying to understand if said criticism also involves me (in a totally different department, whose acting on totally different policies) then that information will never make it to the reader because my line is busy.

Also, I'll leave you with this: There's a lot we don't know about the Korean War and Vietnam (aside from video, which isn't that great). It's largely because veterans refused to share their stories, officially or unofficially. If I, in order to share anything, have to overcome that I am a monster in your mind first, I probably won't speak. When you accuse someone of war crimes it's not a joke, and let's be real - that is exactly what many people casually do when talking about war. The realities on the ground at war are informed by policy and real-world split second decision making which is reinforced by training. It's invaluable that we have an atmosphere where people are understanding and discerning between fact and fiction if we're ever to do things better.
The Rise of “Immersive” Art
Insightful JavaScript Q&A Twitter Thread from Dan Abramov
I lost a pocket journal once at a bus stop in the rain. It was thick with thoughts and ramblings and personal information. It was devastating. It was one of my favorite habits but I never took it up again. It's like a pet died or something.
I think this is high-level enough to appeal to non-technical people. I've shared this with some friends who have money invested in cloud companies they don't really understand, and with my family for whom even my simplified job description is too abstract to really comprehend.

I think this is good, but it makes me wish for an even broader-scoped documentary on the history of cloud technologies.
Remember when some German guy nailed a rant to a church door?

The wonderful thing about economic value is that, for better or worse, we get to decide what has it. A large number of people have decided that Bitcoins have economic value, and it's not particularly salient to my arguments as to whether that's true or not.

The rest of what you've written doesn't really concern me, because all I was interested in was pointing out that Bitcoin doesn't securitize energy.
> Blockchain won't save you from visit from a man with 5$ wrench, if you know what I mean.

There is a large middle-ground between a government respecting your ownership and a one stealing your funds using a wrench.
This is an interesting story but it’s nothing more than fan fiction. Please provide some reason for your assertions.

While the entire comment could be contradicted, a quick example is that google’s SRE book details much more developer strategies, including from a massive scale and enterprise perspective, than 12 factor web app. This book was assembled but industry experts with experience from Borg, with borg emerging from the global work queue — decades before heroku existed.

A lot of valid 5-letter words are so obscure as to make the game not fun when you inevitably lose.

If the answer to a day's Wordle was QIBLA or AALII or RAHUI, I'd probably stop playing.

Here's the full list of valid guesses. There are a lot of words here that most people don't know.

Thanks for unwrapping all the implicit assumptions in your comment. I can at least agree that the few reasonable issues people have with attempts at containing covid get buried under the much greater volume of absolute nuttery and grifting, and that certain factions use the latter to ignore the former.
I think GAE (Google App Engine) was in production before Heroku got anything out there...
Looking at all the documented (not that many) large GDPR fines, I haven't noticed any that are the result of a company (much less a developer) accidentally 'fucking up' - they are all the result of an intentional policy or an unethical management decision intentionally screwing people.

If you simply fuck up during your development, the most you'll get in practice is a letter from the regulator requiring you to change the fucked up thing; Fines arrive when management refuses to change the fucked up thing and tries to invent a loophole instead.

Lmao. So says the 20 something.
I was expecting to be able to drag a parent to an interval and to assign the interval, like the labels in gmail. Also, drag an interval to a parent.

It was very difficult for me to find how to split an interval. If I click or double click on a not-school interval, I'd like to get a window to set the swap over time.

IBM came out with PC-DOS 7.0 around 2000, it had fixes for the Year 2000 plus REX language. I still a copy of it somewhere.
Hooked by Nir Eyal is pretty good as a basis and 7 powers by Helmer breaks it down in a more technical sense. Found those books pretty insightful but each business will probably have unique problems in their own way thus books can only help to a point.
If you think plumbers don’t have undefined requirements and random deadlines out of their control then you don’t know enough about the industry. Most plumbers are juggling about 20 different projects plus call-outs and with the chaos in the UK construction industry right now, it’s very hard for any tradesperson to predict where they will be working and what they will be doing next week. You will have annoyed people constantly phoning you all day to find out when you are going to be at their site. However, plumbers are in huge demand at the moment and can probably easily invoice more than £300 per day, it’s just a question of the building sites being ready for them to work a few consecutive days in a row to get those billable hours racked up day after day. There are a lot of inefficiencies in project scheduling, especially with the currently difficulties.

That’s what I thought too, but it looks like someone got a bit more than you a few weeks before: https://medium.com/immunefi/polygon-lack-of-balance-check-bu...

(Dec 28 2021)

> Polygon is paying out a bounty of $2.2m in stablecoins to Leon Spacewalker and 500,000 MATIC to Whitehat2, which according to current market value is worth $1,262,711. The $2.2m exceeds the maximum value of Polygon’s critical bounty in recognition of the severity of the vulnerability.

Interestingly, this reminds me of a report I wrote a long time ago about the dangers of ecrecover (as it can give ambiguous results)

>ugh, Medium tries to hijack copy

you can set 'dom.even.clipboardevents.enabled' to 'false' in about:config if you are on Firefox (/ forks). This should prevent websites from knowing when you copy / paste something.
Note: Title slightly edited in order to fit.

A bit more thorough here[0], but it'll never gain any traction with a title such as "Librarian's lament: Digital books are not fireproof".

The answer to this probably depends on your local jurisdiction, thanks to America's unique system of legal devolvement.

Instead, I'll point out that the answer does not matter: from the moment that they have my hot wallet instead of me, I can no longer use it. It doesn't matter to me whether they can actually liquidate it or not. And, as I pointed out earlier, I'd harm my own case by attempting to liquidate my assets with a separate copy.
It does not seem to do anything on my phone.
I used to like qlik more than pbi/tableau but they stopped making the personal desktop version free. Qlik’s scripting and “associative” engine is great.
<off topic>Just dawned on me, today you can generate Mozart's avatar with a GAN, voice with TTS, replies with GPT-3 and music composition on demand with transformers. Or you could demand its opinion on other music, or have it teach you piano. That would be a nice App idea, a MozartBot. Bonus if it can guide you to appreciate the composer's music.

Would this be an early version of digital upload?
But wouldn't it make mutability only useful in local scopes?

```

fn f(x) {
*x = 42 // lazily cloning on write
};

let x = 1;
f(x);
// x still equals 1 here

```
So drop the limit to 60 for everyone?
I actually met my best friend because of tibia. Heard him talking about it in school. Many great memories. No game would get your heart beating like tibia when you’re about to take a death.

There's a more general takeaway, and it's one every developer discovers for themselves, sooner or later:

- People don't read what's in front of them.

I've seen this emerge in a vast array of fields. No matter how much we highlight specific details, for all our efforts in red-flagging irreversible actions, folks will often blitz past a confirmation dialog, nag screen, or notification message, without internalising the details or the risks. For those in financial technology, as in this specific example, irreversible actions also extend the attack surface for fraud.

Even the brightest minds can be lazy (some might even say it's a feature, not a bug) and one should never rely upon the opposite. We consequently face a design choice, for all irreversible (or hard-to-reverse) actions, the most common options being:

a) allow a grace period;

b) redesign, if possible, to make it user-reversible;

c) build a forcing function for diligence[1]; or

d) expect support tickets about that feature.

The default is (d), and the helpdesk won't thank us, since the workload generally scales linearly with growth at a high opportunity cost.

Is golangs `net.Dial` related to this? I was wondering why they named it this way.
So, this is pulling in various providers.

But it doesn’t seem to be tracking the accuracy of those providers over time, as compared to actual meteorological conditions. If a particular provider has a lower average or RMS error over time, that seems like it would be really good information to know, yes?

Is anyone else doing that?
Can you explain to me the mechanics of how purchasing an NFT facilitates money laundering?

You'd have to buy $23m of ETH with cash, which isn't as easy as it seems, but then why is the NFT important? Just put the ETH through a tumbler and sell it. Withdraw to a bank account and tell the IRS you made a lucky investment.

It's so difficult to describe what life was like before cell phones and the internet. Imagine making and carrying out plans with people and not being able to easily communicate with them in the moments leading up to meeting.

My brother still operates like this. For example on Monday he will say "I'll see you after work on Thursday". He won't call to tell you he's on his way. He won't confirm the night before. He just shows up after work on Thursday. When exactly? After work like he said. It feels so adult and self-assured compared to dealing with other people.
So it just told me that SPANKS, BALLS, and TEAMS are all not in the dictionary. What are the rules for this one?
You can buy a very nice car that might even appreciate in value so you get to have your cake and eat it too, I recommend you do research on this.
I've seen videos of wheel making "by machine." There is still some manual work, such as part or even all of lacing. If a wheel is laced "off," then it's pretty much downhill from there.

By day I'm an industrial physicist, and I've designed systems for doing automated mechanical adjustment. There's an 80/20 rule, where tightening the specs can dramatically increase the cycle time. So, you can make more widgets per hour if you relax the specs.
No it doesn't. It's been possible to make homemade PCBs for decades.

Even then, they could have at least used perfboard.

No idea why someone would want to do it that way. That was fine for the 1920s, but there's no excuse for such poor construction these days.
I've no real knowledge of networking, I read this and have no idea what it's actually trying to teach. I say teach because I have read comments hear about it teaching but I can't actually speak to that. I am still as lost at the end as I was at the start, probably more so.
