USENET more or less burned down in flames because killfiling the lunatics didn't actually stop them from taking over the asylum. Both Facebook and Twitter (especially Twitter) give users copious abilities to block users and filter content... and guess what? It's still considered censorship, and it doesn't work at scale.
Temporary pause in licensing from Germany not 'shut down'. Germany has no choice but to buy Russian gas where else are they going to get energy from to run their huge GDP country
Well, it's going to cost more up front, but they do exist.

EVGA has had even better warranties in the past but still have a decent one and I have always had good experiences with their customer service.

I have an LG dishwasher, and it has a service manual inside the housing and I can and have bought parts online.

Consumer reports has data about reliability of various household goods and appliances.

IFixit is a good source to check before you buy a cellphone and other various things.
I agree about a lot of that, but you also don't necessarily need to link to the site or compell someone to go and inspect it. There is a reason Pornhub's parent company is actually MindGeek. Just list it, describe what you did as your job or accomplishments, and if someone chooses to check it out, you never have control over that, and while you may mot share the experience of some or most women, you have your own experiences that other people aren't necessarily worried about, but that you might be bothered by. I can't try and guess what those are, and that's life; it's bound to happen. Many people have been sexually assaulted in this world, and that's just the sad reality. Should everyone always avoid mentioning the word rape? No. Should you regularly mention it in a professional context? Probably not. Same thing for theft, child abuse, bigotry, circumcision, regular assault, guns in general, being audited, adultery, divorce, robbery (different than just theft), sexual harassment, suicide, death of any kind, gaslighting or other manipulation, depression or using the word depressed as an exaggerated expression of ongoing sadness, alcholism, OCD, ADD, w/e...

There's nuance in there of course, pick your situations, but basically none of them are going to be broadly unique or predictable, and part of life is just dealing with those awkward moments if they come up.
I will say, at first I was skeptical Sponsorblock would work, but after trying it, I'm really surprised by how good it is. Even videos from smaller channels generally have annotations. I also really enjoy the other types of annotations, such as "highlight" which is often used to annotate when the important part of a video is. For example, during the 3 hour long launch broadcast for JWST, it was used to mark where the countdown starts.
Was very excited to see this idea, some time ago I was very excited by the thought of pretty much this same concept without the smooth scrolling, because I knew it could be done with some scripting in some other tiling wm that did "desktops" or "tags" on the fly.

And then I saw Wayland. Bleh.

So I'll ask -- anyone have any ideas, thoughts, pointers on doing something similar in X?
There's a SQLite virtual table mechanism for reading from CSV files on disk but I haven't seen the equivalent for JSON. In any case provided you have the disk space importing JSON is fast and the single resulting .db file is easy to tolerate in my opinion.

Unless you're talking about 10+GBs of JSON I'd recommend importing them and seeing how far you get.

Once the JSON has been loaded into tables the other things you want to do should all be very feasible.

- Fuzzy text search can be done using SQLite trigram indexes https://www.sqlite.org/fts5.html#the_experimental_trigram_to...

- I'd split JSON columns that you want to index out into indexed regular columns - there are a bunch of tricks in sqlite-utils for doing that, see https://simonwillison.net/2021/Aug/6/sqlite-utils-convert/
I have a few Trello boards for just keeping track of some personal projects (typically longer term things that have many sub-todo-lists). I more commonly access it via mobile app since things often cross my mind while I'm away from my desk.

I also hate Atlassian, so I was super happy to see such a nice alternative.

Tried the demo from desktop, looks like the perfect alternative. Loaded in on the mobile to see if it works there...
"Sorry, this demo requires a desktop-sized screen."

Is that just the demo, or a real limitation?
NewPipe does not see themselves as a project focused on blocking ads but as a privacy first project.

See their reasoning for rejecting the sponsor block PR here: https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/pull/3205

One can disagree with their decision but I can understand why they did this and since somebody offers builds, I don't understand why people are often angry towards the NewPipe maintainers.
I watched the meeting. The Russian representative said things like, "Acting as the current president of the Security Council, I thank the gentleman from Ukraine for his remarks. Acting in my capacity as the representative from Russia, Ukraine blows goats, and here's why," before launching into a confusing list of nonsensical reasons why Ukraine really belongs to Russia.

Nobody, but nobody, was buying what he was selling, and you could tell he didn't much care if they did or not.

The statement from the Kenya delegate was particularly moving, worth a watch if you can find the video.
I mean the prediction he made about the Taliban impossibly invading Afghanistan well there's that and most certainly that went well (!). Now you have them pleading and begging to Putin on a weak foot after those events.

Looks like war it is. All thanks to the Biden administration. Oh dear.
> But neither concept should be laid at the feet of individual soldier.

Well, no, individual soldiers don't, as a rule, have any more influence in the decision to go to war than the average civilian.

That being said, neither is it the case that the imperialist urge is isolated to a closed decision-making cabal; the ideological bloc advocating war for overtly imperialist reasons included people in all walks of life. Military personnel were not especially innocent, any more than they were categorically guilty.
Not that I wanted to see US confront Russia, but threatening sanctions and nothing more really was giving Putin the go ahead.
These are very precedented times. Which is one of the problems.

Sounds like a federated query engine with a cost based optimizer. I worked for a company that went pretty far down this path using another database.

Definitely a lot of potential, and also a lot of potential gotchas.

Translating from one SQL syntax (e.g. Postgres) to others, while maintaining the full capability of the other system, for example, turned out to be quite complex (but doable).

Will be following your project and wish you all the best. I suspect if you keep things sharp/focused and don't go too crazy with promises or uses cases, this could be quite successful.

Is this going to stay an intelligent router and sort of proxy? Or do you have plans for federated, heterogeneous joins, for example?

That's where things get interesting :) I think there's a lot you can do without even having to go that far.
This [1] summarizes it well:

> Yet despite these humbling failures, the present crisis reveals there is still a reflexive tendency to assume the United States has the right, responsibility, and (most important of all) capacity to dictate political arrangements all over the world, even in regions that are more important to others than they are to the West. The United States didn’t have that capacity at the height of the unipolar era, and it certainly doesn’t have that capacity today.

Here is the key point:

> When your opponent has local military superiority and cares more about the outcome than you do, resolving a dispute typically requires some adjustments on your part. This isn’t a question of right or wrong; it’s a question of leverage.

That aside, Biden and the Democratic Party just don't have the appetite for protracted conventional war with a nuclear superpower as evidenced by the lack of such appetite in Iraq or Afghanistan.

+1 Ukraine was already hemorrhaging money because of decreased flights, decreased FDI, investments being pulled out, higher borrowing costs and now the economy is going to be crushed.

Before I purchase a book, I always download an .epub file from Library Genesis, and convert it to .mobi using Calibre.

Then send it over to the Kindle using email.

If I like a book after 50-60 pages, I purchase an .epub file and then convert it through Calibre and load it.

Kindle is the worst device imaginable for reading research papers or technical books. It's black and white, for god's sake! And small.

I have a separate tablet for reading papers, especially skimming new ones from arXiv.

When, reading in detail, I do it through Okkular in my Linux desktop.

Russia doesn’t want its sphere of influence to decrease. Ukraine has wanted to detach from Russia for a long while. Russia has responded with assassinations, destabilization by supporting rebels, propaganda, and now a full blown military invasion. This is about power. Your question is like asking why the Roman Empire expanded. Because they wanted to and they could.

> plenty of people in tech have PhDs or other degrees which are significantly more difficult than those required for finance, law or media. Its just more meritocratic than those fields which rely heavily on nepotism.

That's quite a self-serving narrative for us on HN. Do we have any evidence that the degrees are harder to get or that tech is more meritocratic?

> Tech is also significantly less white and full of immigrants (because of the meritocracy)

Tech's diversity record isn't evidence of meritocracy. Compare women in law, business, and media and those in tech, for example. It also may be that law, business, and media require exceptional cultural communication and understanding, which may be hard for a new immigrant to learn.

If you believe that MCAS caused the first and contributed to the second, like I do, then at what point does the FAA not step in?

You could say Gravity contributed I guess to both crashes, and Boeing is not responsible for that, but the difference here is that Boeing deliberately hid the existence of MCAS to the pilots to avoid simulator training.
In binary classification, this is basically a precision/recall trade-off. More precision (ie, fewer false positives) necessarily means less recall (ie, more false negatives). Classifier statistics like AUC basically tell you how good the classifier is in terms of how bad the trade-off is.

Adversarial situations - any time humans are trying to trick your classifier, in other words - will always make the trade-off worse.
Russian troops have been stationed in Crimea since the fall of the Soviet Union. Their lease on the Russian military base there was extended by the 2010 Kharkiv Pact. They didn't invade - they were already there.

Minimum parking requirements are ubiquitous in the US. Houston, famous for "not having zoning," has these too and is the reason it's as car-centric as the rest of the US (only in 2019 did it remove them for a small part of the city).

Even Downtown Brooklyn, one of the best connected areas by public transit in NYC, has minimum parking requirements to this day. Manhattan used to as well: they were only lifted in the 80s as a response to federal regulation requiring cities to have better air quality. (Manhattan went even further and added parking maximums, which is very rare.)

In NYC, this is one reason (among others) landlords often don't demolish old buildings to replace them with newer ones: old ones were grandfathered and predated parking minimums. Demolishing and replacing them means you have to build parking. In many places, old buildings are already at the max height allowed by zoning, so demolishing a building means replacing residential square footage with parking. You'd actually be removing housing from a city in a housing crisis if you followed regulations!
Yeah, I read it as more pointing out that "real informed consent" sounds a bit like a No True Scotsman fallacy.

He looked into the abyss long enough for it to look back.
Biden said that US is not going to war, but in fact there are many ways to slow down the Russians. You could have a voluntary army from western countries geared with weapons and supplies, like during the Spanish civil war in 1936 or eastern Ukraine since 2014. This will probably not save eastern Ukraine, but better than doing nothing.
I don't really have any of those problems.

And I can rip `find -name` through a 4TB SSD pretty quickly. Usually only a subset is required, because I remember roughly where it is.

For my NAS I spend a bit of time on keeping files organized.

I don't generally want full-text search either, it tends to be cluttered with crap and I don't use full-text indexers (invariably they seem to decide to reindex whenever I least want them to).
Nevertheless! Care to share your story? What turned you away from academia?

It sounds somewhat like “gmail for files” which is … problematic because email search works well enough because it’s relatively rarely done.

Europe. The funny-shaped land between the Urals and the Atlantic.

Here's a map of the Allied offensives in the last two years of the war.

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f5/Second_w...

Note how the western allies (The US and UK, mostly, plus France, Belgium, Netherlands, and so forth) controlled Italy, France, the Low Countries, and the western half of Germany. The USSR controlled Finland through the Balkans and eastern Germany.

The general agreements of how everything would settle down were set by the Potsdam conference (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potsdam_Agreement), generally along the lines of countries' pre-war borders (although the USSR presented a fait accompli annexing part of East Prussia and attaching parts of east Germany to Poland (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Oder-neisse.gif) because they had troops there). This result hardened into what eventually became NATO (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NATO#/media/File:History_of_NA..., the 1949 version) and the Warsaw Pact (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warsaw_Pact#/media/File:Iron_C...). And that's how Europe ended up divided into East and West.

(Modulo the invasion of Hungary (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hungary#Communism_(1945%E2%80%...) in 1956 and Czechoslovakia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Czechoslovakia#Communist_Czech...) in 1968[1] when those countries flirted with being insufficiently Red.)

> I partially ask "why?!" plaintively, because this is senseless

Neither imperialist conquest nor the manufacturing of external crisis and conflict as an attempt to rally domestic support behind a leader are senseless; they both have internal logic and a whole lot of historic precedent of usefulness to the faction pursuing them.
Given no comments on it so far. Am I the only with issues viewing it on Safari. Chrome and Firefox seems to be doing fine.
I expect the loading screen was in large part to there being no smooth transition when sailing from one continent to another.

WoW in its original form still had "zones" where there was a small delay in moving between them. These delays were actually exploited by players for PvP purposes (ie camping those zone transition points).
certainly requiring a cc and charging money would get people to upload less, but 'the problem' would not go away. Not at $1 and not at $10.

I've run into some of these revenge post people - and they would pay $10, and they'd do it every week.

Heck some service would crop up to pay someone in country X to upload to 10 different sites every week for $20 with bulletproof hosting and darknet distribution for $50 - and most of these revenge folks would pay that.

I get your sentiment, and I'm pretty sure phub has already cut into uploading in more ways than that already, and they have certainly lost money and traffic with the changes they voluntarily pushed out a while back.

They deleted way more than the non-knowledge uploads, and making it harder for sharing is giving the other tubes an advantage and growth (at their expense) the past so many moons.
Thank you for answering. I searched more about this, and it seems like it's a controversial idea, having more traction around philosophers because there's not enough evidence to test scientifically. I too feel like conscience is an emergent property, like insects can exhibit surprisingly complex behaviors with simple minds, but it's too soon to say one way or the other without further research.

You missed a step. What a coincidence that Russia's biggest deployment of troops since the Cold War just happened to come immediately before the Russia-controlled-but-not-admitted occupied sections of Ukraine asked for military help.

And what a coincidence that all those troops just happened to be perfectly situated to jump into action in response to the request.

OK. Then, try listening to some of the other guys?

Yes, Chomsky is an ideologue. I disagree with him on many issues.

More importantly, it is surprising that you're just attacking him in general rather than specifically on what he said with regards to Russia/Ukraine. His thoughts on the matter seem perfectly reasonable to me.

And, can you please point me to where he denied genocides? I'd love to know. Like I said though, I don't worship him. He's wrong on many issues, IMO.
I think you're talking about file systems as an implementation detail, whereas the author seems to be talking about file systems as a user experience.

For example, iOS devices have a file system, but for 99%+ of iPhone/iPad users it doesn't. Presumably, the author's "Digits" object database is persisted via a file system.

Also, a user-facing file system isn't needed for things to have a location, and things can have a location without needing a user-facing file system.
But they are very successful taking down my dashcam video, because there was a song that played in a radio. And of course, appealing is automatic so it doesn't work either.
Why does it need “evidence”? GPUs are fast and good at displaying pixels. Moving rendering to the GPU lets the CPU focus on things it’s good at rather than bog it down with a high bandwidth task that has to go to the GPU anyway. Lots of editors have been getting GPU acceleration (I use Sublime and Visual Studio among others, both have hardware acceleration). All major browsers and operating systems support hardware accelerated drawing. Video games of course… I think the question is why wouldn’t you use the GPU for rendering these days? It’s a pixel processor that nearly everyone has in their machine. What evidence is there to support the decision to render pixels on a CPU rather than use the rendering co-processor?
Couple thoughts

- Savings in bandwidth might be only noticeable if the demand for scale is real and you have already exhausted other optimizations available. Think of trade-offs, the performance gains might be there, but other factors count like how familiar is your team with it, how flexible or constricting it is, etc etc.

- WebSockets are easier to implement on the client-side, most developers are familiar with it, both in web app and mobile apps.

- Since WebSockets are bi-directional, it's easy to let client send any data (e.g. for debugging, tracing, monitoring) almost effortlessly any time you might need it (maybe not now, maybe in the future).

- WebSockets support binary data, you can use existing serialization formats like msgpack, or have your own binary serialization format.

- There are WebSocket web frameworks out there like uWebSockets (written in C & C++, has Node.js API), used by most trading platforms, which got better performance than most web frameworks out there.

The transmitters have FCC specs on how much power can leak outside of the band (It's called the band edge requirement). If the radar can't handle this out of band power transmission, then the FCC is on the line for writing a spec that isn't protecting the bands that they operate. It is unlikely this is the case given how far out of band this is.
I wonder what historically unnatural hunting of large predators, to the point of near extinction, causes on ecosystems.

Does it alter the food chain through herbivores and, in turn, alter the vegetation pervasive, such that it's more combustable?
