There are a million ways to distribute an APK so I'm not sure where that parallel came from. I'm anti steam until they add decent support. I've dealt with marketplace issues too many times.
No. I'm a hardcore iOS user and i can recite off-hand specific apps that run "wrong" and why i hate using them (because if their UI). I tend to actively minimize using them when possible too. If your app doesn't support the "scroll to top" gesture when i tap the top bevel of my screen, i will stop using it if i can find alternatives.

Yes, i know that it runs wrong because its ReactNative and not SwiftUI, but you don't need to know why its wrong to know its wrong.

Eg:
Alexa App doesn't go back a frame when you swipe from left, you have to click back button.

Sure, but if the webserver providing the downloads goes down, usually so does the website providing the torrent link.
I can confirm that Pop works on a Framework without about 10 minutes of adjusting a few settings. Which is not that different than any other OS imo.
hasn't bethesda been limping "the creation engine" which is really gamebryo along for the last 10 years? They are doing technical things, they're just doing them poorly.
The incredible moddability of their RPGs, at least, is in large part to the flexibility of their engine. How many other games have active modding communities 12 years after launch as large as New Vegas'?
You already have to be in trouble. The cops can have the IRS release your tax returns, the IRS doesn't call the cops(they have their own).

>IRC 6103(i)(1) provides that, pursuant to court order, return information may be shared with law enforcement agencies for investigation and prosecution of non-tax criminal laws.
Some have. Blizzard used a variant of BitTorrent about 10 - 15 years ago to distribute the multi-gigabyte patches for their online games. Peak demand was very high with hundreds of thousands of users all on the same day.

It was built into the game installer / launcher. I think they've switched away from that since. I remember it causing some consternation at the time given some people pay by the byte for network service and felt it was unfair.
It's a video. Unless you claim the video is somehow deep faked, his words corroborate what the comment says. And if you don't want to trust that, then here's direct link to CTVNews where he says those words at 3:26 mark:

Modern CPUs are extremely capable superscalar processors. In order to properly feed them, you must design with SIMD in mind. Even then, you can almost never rely on compiler auto-vectorization, and you must use intrinsics yourself. This is necessary even for such simple things as automatically opening doors when you move near them. In other words, many many things that are never even done on the GPU.

Of course, after release, the biggest improvements come from outside the game dev team. The point is not to forget all the improvements very carefully and skillfully baked in before release, just because consumers don't see the delta.
I don't care what your values are, just that we should find some sort of common ground if we want to maintain and improve the country, or world, we find ourselves sharing.

The principles don't have to be mine, and they don't need to be political, even. It's even possible with something silly... "America has the best fucking apples on the planet, and we're goddamn proud of that. Everything we strive and suffer for is for the best goddamn apple pie in human history, and if you wanna take that, you can pry it from our cold dead hands. "

Right now, we're socially fractured in every way possible to fracture under the threshold of combat, and even that is failing in some places.

We better figure out what it means to be American before there's no point to it, or before it fails so badly that continuing as an American means fatally corrupting any principles or ideals we claim to hold.

There are ideas for seasteads and crypto-nations that I find compelling, but I'm not a utopian. I think the Constitution is something admirable and the ideals are structurally important for any notion of liberty going forward in history. I hope that America finds its way back to some sort of cohesion but I don't see any paths toward anything resembling unity.
Are there anonymous prepaid card networks I could use? It’s the best of both worlds, convenience of using a card but refill it with cash at a CVS or whatever.

When I first discovered Wordle, I immediately looked for a way to keep playing with new random words, something that most clones have implemented.

After a few rounds, it just wasn't as fun. What makes it fun to spend 10 minutes on the game is that it's the only round of the day so there's a pay-off to giving it some thought. When you can keep playing new rounds, it's just not rewarding and I would just close the tab when I was stumped.

Had I invented Wordle, I would never have thought of just one, shared round per day which is surely one of the critical elements of its success.
That’s a good point. It makes me think that what one can do is to add a library in code that logs that the issue hasn’t been resolved.

Like `if (inputsNotHandled) _sendToJira(“issue is not resolved”)`

But that’s probably not easy to do in most cases…
> “At no time, did we provide a list of donors to Financial Institutions,” the RCMP said in a statement Monday. [1]

They don't need to. The list is public. Banks have been given the power already.

Also, trusting anything the RCMP says is like trusting what the CIA/NSA/FBI says.
They seem to have deprecated support [1]

I say: you give up your freedoms when you take them away from others.

In the case of the “truckers”, they already no longer had those freedoms once the government intervened, since they themselves had already taken away the residents’ with their illegal occupation.
Companies warned to boost cyber defence in wake of Ukraine crisis escalation
This is wrong for so many reasons.

The root problem, democratic Ukraine presents existential treat for Russian autocrats.

Donbass is not an independent entity, it's part of Ukraine occupied by Russians in 2014, under full Russian control.

Ukrainians are absolutely willing to fight. For them, the war is not "over nationality stuff", they're defending their country and their freedom.

They have been doing that for almost 8 years since Russians invaded, take a look: https://thumbs.dreamstime.com/z/memorial-wall-to-fallen-sold... That's Ukrainian soldiers and policemen killed by Russians since 2014 on Ukrainian land.
> The if directive is tricky to use, especially in location{} blocks. It often doesn’t do what you expect and can even cause segfaults.

That's not user error. That's lazy programming and a bug. If your code segfaults because of user input you weren't expecting, that's on you as a programmer.
There are technologies people complain about, and technologies people don't use.
The issue with Epic is the pure lack of features (user profiles, reviews[^1], community forums) , and no Mac/Linux support.

^1: I doubt reviews are ever coming since it would mean bad games would get fewer sales; Imagine how many more sales Cyberpunk 2077 has gotten on the Epic store as no potential buyer sees the negative reviews for the game.
You don't have to do any of that with a Framework and Ubunut/Pop. The only real thing to adjust was getting the fingerprint sensor working, which really was copy/pasting a script. Everything else worked perfectly out of the box.
Oh yeah I am on Wayland. (X didn't work well for me at all, choppy mouse motions.) Fractional scaling works, just seems to consume more CPU than 100% or 200% though.
The correct solution to Illegal behavior in a healthy democracy is to arrest someone and try them in court. We shouldn't be denying that to to anybody no matter how wrong they are.
Arriving at this thread late, but we have never paid a reviewer and it’s unlikely we ever will. For reviewers like Linus Tech Tips and other YouTubers who do a mix of sponsored and non-sponsored reviews (and provide a clear disclaimer of which ones are which), we’ve only followed the non-sponsored path.

We discussed investment with Linus only after his review, and before making a decision on it, he brought it in front of his community to flag the risks of future conflicts of interest. Since completing the investment, he has also continued to flag that potential conflict in additional videos he has posted.
> I'm also curious why people are so keen on needing a device to be powered on and ready to go within a second or two.

Because it’s way more convenient. Next time you go to open your front door, take out your phone, start a timer for 30s, and then put the key in the door once the timer expires. Once you’re used to something being near-instant, there is no going back. Waiting is frustrating.

I don’t understand this viewpoint. USB is a massive success and the modern versions are pretty decent technically. I get the issues with cable compatibility et cetra, but connectivity used to be so much worse. USB-C is a miracle even with its flaws.
Josh Wardle, creator of Wordle, was interviewed on the Syntax podcast and they discussed exactly this. I'd paraphrase the segment (it was a really interesting bit on design philosophy) but I don't remember it quite well enough so I'd probably butcher it. But, suffice it to say the creator agrees.
… so at the time of the example, I would have needed to travel ~3,000 mi, then.

And… you have to sign up, get a transponder, keep said transponder in your car and allow them to track your movements with it. (Which, admittedly, they can probably already do by reading license plates. Might as well just broadcast it on radio?)
How do your benchmarks compare against CoreML?
The answer to all your questions is: they are not computer vision guys.
Could the download manager be a torrent client in disguise?
This x1000. So many of those are terrible default behavior. They admit as much when they say things like "doesn't work how you'd expect".

I get that NGINX is powerful. But I hate dealing with it. Every. Single. Time.
The mail server can run for 25 years. And it doesn't require any maintenance. And you don't have to trust anyone else to keep your data safe.
Ive seen KYC/KYB in action lately - it has long left the financial sector, police is now virtually behing every door.

Policing at every corner benefits a few and seriously treaten equal opportunities.

So I've came to some beginning of a conclusion. The idea would be to have a constitutional right to a grey area. The phylosophical rational would be that it's useful to human life, democracy and equal opportunities. Some extreme policing practice (like KYC, banking and digital policing, even adn in some cases) couldn't be used against you unless you're commiting a very (very) serious crime (5-10+ years of imprisonment for example). That would work with what ive seen lately, that would work against terrorism and money laudering and it would work for those canadian protesters as well. If police would want to catch a 2 year crime, they got to roll up their sleeves or wait for it to be become more severe. Im starting to like the idea a bit more (though its certainly quite a rough diamond if it works at all).
Please quote the exact "mountain of evidence" in your link about the arson case.

All I see relevant to the convoy is the quote "when a group of men they believed to be convoy demonstrators". Ok, so they believed they were a part of the convoy. That's it?

If there is no other evidence in the arson case, then like I said it's nothing more than a smear campaign.
Honestly, getting marketing and sales to follow these practices would go further than software engineers.
Good point. As a man, I am not comfortable watching gay porn or even two men kissing each other, even though I totally have nothing against them and I wish them the best and I am a totally atheist. I don’t think I need religion as a reason for me to not take photos which make me uncomfortable. Religion is really irrelevant here.

Further, I think creative speech is also irrelevant. I don't think it is a speech issue at all, even though compelled speech can be used as a reasoning for defending the creator's right. But what if I am just a waiter for a party, do I have to serve a gay wedding party, where lots of gay couples kissing and hugging each other? So a photographer has a reason to not be forced to serve a gay wedding party, but a waiter can not? I don't think it is fair.

I wish a society based on good faith and people are tolerate with each other.
Marketplace is the one area where support is a negative; they can't be returning items to people because of accidental purchases, upsetting the seller which is likely just another regular gamer/steam user.
IdeaVim Casts #5: Easy Motion. A better way to jump around your source code
I replaced 846 lines of Apache config files (or 400 lines of nginx config files) with a 29-line Caddyfile. I was worried about switching over but honestly it is really refreshing to not worry about the reverse proxy at all, unless I'm making a unique change.

Sure, LOC is not a great indicator of size, but here's a simple comparison: https://pastebin.com/kmXMX6Yq

And this doesn't include the pain of manually refreshing SSL certificates, certbot always managed to break on me and I could never get auto-SSL to work.
Back in the 1960s there were some prominent Christian ministers in the American South who insisted that interracial marriage was against God's will. Will business owners be allowed to discriminate against multiracial couples as well? Doubt it. They will treat gay people differently, because there's only one kind of religious belief they seek to protect.
This is very interesting to me: On one side, I agree with the principle of free speech and my first thought was Why cant she decide who does she want to do business with? (Having to work on force on something you dont want to seems like slavery).

On the other hand, this reminds me of the old signs that said "we dont serve Mexicans and black people. Dogs are welcomed " which were pretty bad. Should someone be forced to work on something he doesn't want to due to her (wrong) beliefs?
I actually find it a bit surprising that you aren’t aware of a difference. Have you used a MacBook recently? If no, I highly suggest you try it. Once you’re used to instant startups, waiting for a boot is just frustrating.
Well, there's sometimes shame in it.
Can there be a little bit more space between the list items? Hard to read when they are too close to each other.
Some tips to improve the readability:

- Give more line-height between each bullet point.
- You use white for time and blue for unvisit links. The contrast for the time is stronger than the link, resulting in more reading effort. Change up the contrast to focus where you want the reader to look at easily
It looks like this is the same law that the SC visited with the wedding cake case a few years back, and they punted then on the actual decision of whether it was discrimination or not. If the court is now further to the right than it was, I'm not sure it matters how obvious a case of discrimination this is. The ramifications of allowing discrimination based on any religious belief would be drastic. I hope they're considering what other religions besides Christianity might do given the chance to legally enforce their morals on others. I'm sure The Satanic Temple would come up with some interesting interpretations of this.
Not judging, but this thread goes to show how differently people use computers and what they’re willing to tolerate.

Personally I haven’t used hibernate in over a decade and my machines typically run 6 months until I have to reboot for updates. If I had to wait ~10 seconds every time I wanted to google something, I wouldn’t use my PC nearly as often as I do today. Maybe that’s why mobile is dominant in so many categories like web search.
Influenza hasn't been eradicated! It is 'hibernating' in pretty small numbers now.

Check https://syndromictrends.com/

Influenza B is at a 3.1% share of respiratory pathogens in the US right now.

During certain summer months both Influenza A and B were measured at 0.0%

Note that these '0.0%' measurements do not show they have reached a true 0, as there are just two sig figs and a very finite number of measurements.

They will dip to '0.0' occasionally, as in November 2021, and bounce back.
That's too bad google searches for her name or business will now forever be a long list of articles and comments about her supposed right to discriminate based on religious beliefs.
I only joined Microsoft not because I wanted to, but because I really had to. I was a pretty die-hard *nix/self-hosting person for many years, and years of habits and conditioning can't be unwinded so easily.

I use Git in a cmd even when doing code done in VS, since I'm used to doing it that way.

The center of my digital world is a home server and not some cloud subscription service.

For years I got angry when my dad wanted me not to use FreeBSD (or Linux) and just user Windows. We clashed with each other for this.

I don't intend to stay with MSFT forever, nor do I want to. My parents pushed me towards staying, but I eventually want to work in a more *nix-environment. But then my dad is extremely change-averse when I'm not, well unless I am really in love with something (like FreeBSD or self-hosting) when I become more partial.

I'm willing to use the less popular software for the sake of it in many cases (unless I literally can't) when my dad just sticks with the familiar.

Heck, he can afford a uber high end Gaming PC with a Threadripper and RTX 3090 Ti, and he still uses an entry-level Core 2 Duo Dell desktop from 2009 which shipped with Vista (and was upgraded to W10 with an eBay key).
Really? You can't imagine a large populist movement rejecting a newly developed technology based on suspicions about some kind of sinister agenda?

It doesn't matter if lots of people, even most, pay with digital transactions. As long as a substantial minority is using cash, the option will be available for those who need it.
Important to note that the Deputy Director of Intelligence for Canada's financial intel agency (FINTRAC) said there is no evidence of suspicious transactions around the freedom convoy:

Despite this, the government has been able to do this.
>As I showed, it is a reality that the President’s actions have a significant impact on people’s lives, probably bigger than a mayor or state senator or state representative probably has in the recent past.

The president nominating a justice that decided to allow the Texas abortion law to remain in effect while it is being challenged has a bigger impact than the state senator who drafted the law?

Of course, the President has more power overall, but your ability to have any impact in that election is infinitesimal if you're in a swing state and non-existent otherwise. The fact Congressional districts are gerrymandered is all the more reason to vote for state legislatures. Even in local districts that are dominated by a single party, the real election occurs during the primaries. Chances are, if you get to know the candidates, there's going to be one you prefer.

People seem to forget that the purpose of democracy is to give a chance to make sure your own interests are heard, not to give you an opportunity to impose your will on the rest of the country. Our government isn't designed for the latter. You'd need a more authoritarian structure to do that. Trying to do so in a democracy just results in politicians who are more interested in virtue signaling absolutist positions than drafting policy that genuinely benefits their constituents.
To be clear, I'm old too, vastly prefer applications rather than web browsers.
So fun to see someone start the journey. Enjoy.
That's a good point, you're right. I hadn't thought of it this way. What we want already exists, we just have to use it.
The chip ignite path does not require designs to be published, unlike the Google sponsored MPWx tapeouts.
Indeed. It's taking old ideas and framing them in new ways.

If your boss asks you do something you don't agree with, then don't do it. Not sure why I need an article from HBR.
(original commenter suggesting course-style educational content here)

I agree completely with this. The documentation is great and the community on slack has been incredibly helpful when I've posted there. Even still, I personally think a lot of people would benefit from course content like MongoDB provides.
I stayed at an airbnb a couple years ago where the hosts were the sort to just leave the news on. Having not watched for a long time and having been studying psychotherapy at the time I was immediately struck by the similarities of the structure of the newscaster speech to hypnotic patterns. Only here the payload of the hypnosis was 'pay attention, be afraid.' Extremely creepy.
I got the impression that WebTorrent users can't download from BitTorrent users and vice versa, is that true?
It's perfectly fine to refuse work.

It's highly illegal to refuse work on the grounds that you "don't work for gays" or similar.

That implies hatred towards a group of people.

And it's generally just a shitty thing to do.

If you don't want to do something for any reason, just be professional about your refusal and you won't get into messes like this.
Maybe not for individual software projects, but I would like to see something like this for installing and updating packages via the OS's package manager. Given the fact that package repositories have mirror servers, it should definitely be possible.
Fair enough. I acknowledge people have different viewpoints on this issue.

Believe it or not, my wife is actually a proponent of cash transactions. She has not been able to convince me of the benefits either. We've agreed to disagree. She carries the cash, and to my benefit she spots me whenever we encounter a merchant that doesn't accept credit cards since I don't carry cash.
I like your plex_media service, probably going to adapt it to my setup with disks on the local network.

I have plexpass and wanted to use the newer Plex server so I threw this overlay together: https://gist.github.com/iamevn/11952b966c05ca799f4910e02c2ff...

Just need to spin up a service that uses the included script to query the latest version info and then rebuild whenever there's a new Plex version.

Still new to Nix so would love any feedback on how readable it is. I figured it would be clearer to keep the json simple and have a shell script that pulls out the relevant fields out rather than parse things out directly in Nix.
The Microsoft Store on Windows exists. They just aren't going to start letting you download full games without paying, so the Store still ends up mediating licensing, which publishers aren't too keen on.

But the Microsoft Store is pretty bad; ie. I still cannot install games to my second ntfs hard drive due to some weird error, so I don't use it.
A lot of breakout successes follow that formula. While I'm not particularly fond of his work, I have nothing but respect for Toby Fox and the years of work he put into bringing his dream to reality.
