> Whenever I see this need for somewhat arbitrarily classifying things into categories I wonder what the purpose is.

The purpose is to get more money. Imagine they have 3 T. Rex skeletons. Then instead of 3 T. Rex, they have a T. Rex, a T. King and a T. Czar much better than the shop around the corner.
I don’t know if this is true. But to everyone dismissing the idea that a military would ever use Google Maps to co-ordinate, you may have missed some news stories about what a shitshow the first few days of the Russian invasion has been. Major breakdown of their digital systems and lots of improvisation.
I've lost some old documents due to missing support of old file formats. I guess it would be possible to find some converters, but then again I'm too lazy to perform research on this topic, it is just like I'd like to look in one of those old documents from time to time (more personal history than actually important). So I tend to agreee with the approach of keeping things simple.

However using a note taking app that operates on plaintext (markdown) files like Joplin could be a good middle ground.
Rule by a dictatorial kleptocracy renders humanity entirely meaningless. We must always fight against dictatorship and must never let it win. Better dead than yield to dictatorship.

> developer can change things easily, like changing a super rare card in a collectable card game to a common card.

NFT doesn't block this at all. Just because an attribute on the token specifies it's rarity, doesn't mean there aren't a gajillion other tokens pointing to the same thing. Or that someone won't just tweak things on the server so that token_url /foo/92 isn't legendary magic beans anymore but common turd burgers instead.
I don't disagree that it's silly but the common misconception is that salary is based on some kind value exchange, it's not. Salary is the minimum amount of money it will take to get someone to work for you. Of course there are exceptions, but most salaried workers are not the exception.

Maybe that price gets driven up because of HCOL, or maybe it gets driven up by market competition, or skills scarcity (putting the employee in a position of bargaining). But it also gets driven down by the opposite effects. In the global market there are people with lower costs, lower market competition, but the same skills, and they are going to accept a much lower amount.

Take insane wages in SV as a great example, HCOL causes people to not accept lesser amounts, as does market competition. The fact that someone is getting paid more in SV is not because they add more value, it's because they won't accept any less.
It's similar but different in a lot of ways.

In PyTermGUI there is a large focus on the underlying terminal APIs and their implementations. This is because there are no external libraries to help us with them, so everything is hand-coded, and as an extension available to anyone from the outside. While the flashy part of PTG is the WindowManager class, the library is just as well suited for minimal applications such as converting your scripts' boring output to colored text or a nice looking Container. This is not advertised as much as it doesn't look that cool compared to everything else, but there is real value in it.

There is also some conceptual differences: Rich and Textual are very web-based in how they work and their syntacies, while PTG is very much not. This doesn't show up in many places, but for example in Rich, expressing an xterm-256 color would be like:

[color(141)]This is lavender

While PTG lets you just use

[141]This is lavender

...or with RGB:

[rgb(111, 222, 333)]I have no idea what this color is

vs:

[111;222;333]I have no idea what this color is

I suppose the biggest difference is that Textual is async-based and PTG is synchronous. Both can be run from the other paradigm, but converting async-sync or vice-versa in a decent sized project is pretty difficult.

Other than that it's a lot of minor things. Most ideas can be created with either, though depending on your needs one might be more suitable than the other. For example, Textual does not support windowing in any way, while PyTermGUI does support full-screening, so if you want to create a modal popup on top of a larger background screen my version should be a bit easier to achieve it with.

Also, PTG code tends to be a bit shorter and usually easier to read, and IMO our markup syntax is much nicer (and as a fact, our parser significantly faster) and our Widget system is a bit easier to manage and extend.
That's the current requirement for the compression they use. I'm sure that there's a lot of heavy optimizations under the hood to support 4K at 35Mbps, which is most likely lossy as well.

Bluray video requires about 144Mbps at the highest quality right now. A bulk of this can also be audio formats with spatial information, like Dolby Atmos, or DTS:X.

VR might need even twice that amount for both eyes. Combine that with more dense sensors, probably improvements in processors and memory allowing better lossless decoders, and you can cross 1Gbps easily. I can also see multiple users at home needing this at the same time.
Slight nit - they used to say "on Ukraine" (на Украине) as in /on Ukrainian land/. In contrast to the term "in" - "in Ukraine" - which is something you would use to reference an entity, for ex. a country.

Admittedly, if there's any chance to this I think it will start with tech-savvy assistants helping to preserve documents on the backend of things. When a process takes hold budgets usually get restructured and a dedicated application is contracted around the existing process or data. I'm at minimum trying to prove the value of strict version control in my space :)

> Signal is truly some awesome tech and I don’t understand the hate.

Signal has a frustratingly terrible client that I curse every day.

But, I can sort of live with that.

The big problem with Signal is that it has a proprietary client with no supported alternatives. The other fundamental problem with Signal is that it requires a phone number registration. I did it because I only use Signal to chat with some friends, but if I had to use something for truly private communication there is no way I would ever tie identity to a phone number.

I personally use literal plain text for note taking. Previously I used One Note and other stuff, but when I saw how I just store plain text there I grew suspicious that something isn't right and indeed couldn't find a reason why it can't be text files in my text editor. In addition to that my text editor already has best text rendering settings I spent time tuning, and text editing functionality I'm used to - that's the functionality I expect from note taking software.

I'm puzzled, how people use markdown? For what? Just to make text more formal?
It might improve your regex skills though.
In times of uncertainty I always count on worst.

If chances of this true are 10% and this is indeed true, giving it some attention is worth it.

Edit: by attention I mean somebody from Google who can check things up
If true, what would the debate within Google be like about closing Google services / blacklisting accounts or devices, over the affected regions?

For such a thing they probably have to get approval from the state department or someone else correct?
Any agent/soldier can access it without a complicated permission or authorization structure. You don't need access to some spy satellite. All you need is a mobile phone, tablet or laptop. It would seem very effective to me.
You are absolutely correct. With web traffic encryption, you’re putting ALL your trust in ALL of the root certificates on your system.

And this has about the same number of possible failure points than PGP encrypted emails.

Trick a user into installing a root cert? Game over.

Find an exploit in one of the default, super trusted CAs and get them to issue you a certificate for a domain / with flags you have no business having in (like this has never happened before, I couldn’t quickly find this, but I clearly remeber the day when some major CA issued certificates and let you issue further certificates down the chain, for which the intended use was to allow you to do subdomains on your own, but they worked for any domain at all)? Game over

Nation state? Game over (except Kazakhstan, they chose the path of most resistance with a method that’s trivially defeatee)

Not to mention DPI, which can’t reveal contents, but can reveal what kind of content it is, and from that possibly identify exactly what it is.

Yes!

Archiving is important, we have already seen so much online history gone down the drain or just accidentally saved.

Large institutions like the internet archive are doing an admirable job, but there is a lot of content that they cannot and will not cover. So we will definitely (also) need volunteer-based archival for the foreseeable future.

The faithful are still on Roam. Others have moved to:

1. Obsidian: has bidirectional linking and knowledge graphs, is faster and better supported, but doesn't have the outlining structure that Roam is based on.

2. Logseq: basically an open source Roam with 90-95% feature parity and some cool stuff that is its own.

3. Foam/Dendron/Athens etc: Roam clones.

4. Notion/Evernote/something else entirely.
What about 3-5 people doing their own streaming on a single line? 1Gbit, especially a busy one, could be not enough.

Imagine one of them downloading huge steam games every other day while others live stream.

I know it's pure luxury, but when I had a 10gbit I enjoyed having it.
> I freely believe that the caste system of the host country carries over to the United States,

Until relatively recently, the United States has always had a very strong strictly enforced caste system, even written into law, still the case in some Southern states. Some people were even allowed to buy and sell other types of people! As we can see some people are still allowed to kill certain types of other people with no consequences.

Hmm. Sometimes I step back and I look at the version history in modern Office documents and it does feel convenient. I like the CRDT editing a lot. It still feels too loose and prone to issues, but I recognize its value to the average person.

Most of what bothers me is trying to view, read-only a previous version. Usually I have several Word or Excel documents up on my screen, and it's easy to begin modifying a past version that then becomes the latest. It's not reflex to open a previous version and untoggle autosave. It bites me all the time.. In Office's pursuit to help people avoid losing data, I wind up overwriting what I need to preserve. A lot..

I have not seen manual version names in Word doc history. Maybe I'm sheltered :s
What about GNU Jami?
It's completely decentralized and can be activated without a phone number.
It's a bit immature, but it works for the standard use cases.

In case Internet connectivity went down, you can can easily create a cheap message gateway with an Esp32 and Lora gateway. Another option is using of CB, but it's not encrypted.
The script can change any time, and maybe even just for some people without leaving a trace.

Updating a package in a OS distribution repository requires that it is signed, and spread to all the mirrors (it is unlikely that an attacker controls all of them). This makes it more likely to be discovered and hard to do targeted attacks without leaving a trace.

If it does happen that you are compromised using:

bash -c "$(curl -fsSL http://gef.blah.cat/sh)"

How will you find out afterwards, that this is what happened?

I run local mirrors of everything I use (with snapshots after updating the mirror), so I at least have a history of the software that I ran to do forensics on. I could not do that if I ran scripts directly from the Internet into a shell.

For example: Something suddenly trying to connect to the Internet (or doing DNS lookups) from one of my segregated systems might prompt me to investigate. Even if you are not so "paranoid" as many would call it (I would call it being diligent), you still get the benefit of others being "paranoid".

So making sure (via packages, mirrors and signatures) that we all get the same "version" of software is important for security.
wouldn't it be deeply discriminatory to assume that person X has a conflict of interest with person Y based solely on their religion, ethnicity or nationality?
Same, I don't know if it's true that they are marks for Russian air strikes. But I've just tried and it does look weird (farms in the middle of the city).
So they should. Anything other than an objective standardized test is just asking for bias.

Australia gets by just fine with standardized testing only, don't see why America can't as well.

If you make the cut then you can qualify for scholarships if you are disadvantaged because of means, etc.

To be fair though Australia is overall more equal in terms of schooling outcomes but to pretend that it's a university/college problem that the rest of the schooling system is fucked is preposterous. By the time someone is at the age to go into university the damage has been done.

Give the spots to those that deserve them because of ability. It's not the job of the school to rebalance society that is the governments problem.

This is funny. I feel this could evolve into a different game based on the number of players:

2 Players = Pong

3 Players = Pong + Almost Pong

as a Windows fan, I love how WINE has made Windows into (arguably) a native platform for Linux software.

I can build for Windows and not worry about Linux. It's like Linux has chosen Win32 as a native application format in a way.

In some ways I bet it is easier to ship Windows binaries for use on Linux than it is to ship Linux binaries for use on Linux.

It's like Linux people have given up trying to solve their problems and have just chosen a Windows binary-based workaround.

It's not about the value you produce, that part is your compensation ceiling; it's about supply and demand. Cost of living is directly correlated with average pay in an area. If you are aiming as an employer to be in the top 10% of compensations, then that value will change based on whether the area average compensation is 50k or 150k (assuming a roughly similar distribution). Sure, you could pay the people from the low compensation area the same as the people from the high compensation area, but why would you? It would cost you a lot more while not meaningfully changing your recrutement pool since you are already at the top.

So, they pay less based on location because they can, your alternatives to a 70k salary are 50k salaries, and they know that. On the other hand, in the high paying area, the alternatives to that same 70k salary are at 150k, so you would never hire anyone. I think the more interesting question is why companies hire people at 150k when people at 50k exist (but this is a different question which has already been discussed plenty of times around here).

> but there are always easier ways. The gameplay is more about finding what those are

Many FromSoft fans would not agree that this is what the gameplay is about. They’ve always put easy modes into their games, but the game designers really want you to just keep practicing until you get it.

Many of the boss encounters they’ve designed are also specifically about fast reaction times and precise timing of the controls. In the souls games recognising the enemies patterns are reacting quickly with precisely timed attacks and rolls is very important. In Sekiro the entire game is about precisely reacting to fast paced combat, especially if you’ve got chip damage enabled.
My mom mentioned this. They may be bypassing the ban.
I'm with you on point about laptop, because laptop is something that I use every day, but not on air travel.

Air travel is such a colossal waste of environment and time so to top it off with additional cost to the company for "developer experience" is so unnecessary. If a company wants me, a developer, to fly in in business class I'd immediately think that they prefer to concentrate on showing off instead of concentrating on things that really matter. Unless it's a fucking Ryanair (don't know what's US equivalent of shitty el cheapo airline), I'd be fine flying in economy. I'd rather the company spend the money on my salary or work environment instead of one time showoff so that I could sip champagne and put my feet up while flying for 4 hours.
It's the employer capturing the surplus value, not the coworker.
On efficiencies, my principle points are that kW/m^2 is the maximum attainable insolation and in practice you'll be well below this value. A 10% nominal recovery (100W/m^2) is a good conservative starting point.

On CPU architectures and such --- I'm pretty much out of my depth. I'd been in a discussion of the Z-80 a month or few back on Mastodon and asked whether or not there was still any extant usage, I was told there was. My understanding (very shallow, likely wrong) is that present gen versions of the chip are low-power, though there may well be far-better-suited options.

On low-end CPU Unices, there's Alan Cox's Fuzix. I followed some of his disucssion of that. There's been less discussion of late, and I'm not sure of specifics. IIRC that was based on 286-ish CPUs, with no MMU. Among the ports I'm aware of is the RaPi Pico. No idea where that falls in your power budget.

The point is that in empirical science, we take our observations of the universe as the starting point. And not any ideas or theories of how we think the universe should function. There was a time before empirical science took off, that the latter was still the modus operandi, a lot of beautiful theories were made but in the end science got hopelessly stuck.

It's funny that we're a bit in a similar situation now. Again we have a bunch of theories, e.g. in cosmology and quantum theory, that are based on not much more than an idea of how things should be. The Great Unification Theory springs to mind for instance. And again we seem to be stuck.
