I'm looking for a self-hosted service to host family photos that allows easy uploading (something that non-techies can use).

We are currently using Nextcloud, but the auto uploads often result in conflicts and Nextcloud in general runs very slowly on our small server.

Any ideas?
EA is removing all Russian football teams from FIFA 22, FIFA Mobile, FIFA Online
a couple counterpoints

> For one, the Ukraine invasion is the US's fault

i don't see it being anyone's fault put Putin's

> we can manipulate and control the status quo (i.e. win a "war") without firing a shot or dropping a bomb

i don't see the war being won or at least not in the literal sense. The Ukrainian people have put up stiff resistance but all the articles i've read from military experts all end with the same sobering realization, the Russian army is just too big and too equipped to be defeated by Ukraine.

> I think the West's goal here is to deliver the final blow to Putin and topple his regime, even if it requires killing innocent people along the way.

I hope not, because an existential threat to Putin and his regime is, well, an existential threat and will be dealt with in an existential way. You can read between the lines.
Is there any objection to adding WARC support to webkit/chromium? Seems like a not-so-complex project...
The only real way they could do that would be to change the licensing terms (since the font has to be available for download either way, and if it's available you can always download it and then re-host yourself).

I would assume the courts would (correctly - IMO) treat that as a bad-faith effort on the part of Google, and proceed with that in mind. It would likely lead to banning the use of Google fonts entirely.
Well, the vast majority of people aren’t running operating systems that require the use of docker or even really support it. So now you’re looking at 5% of users who would need to install docker.

Of those users 90% are running Debian. So you insert apt install docker into your script. The remaining .4% are using red hat. So you insert yum install docker into your bash script.

Then you add a line to start your image, now put the bash script on your website, voila, single file program that works anywhere.
There’s no need to make further assumptions about the author (who btw took the time to build a very useful tool and share to in the Internet for free). Just point out the issue of the GIF and move along.
Thailand's Hard Drive Industry Problem
Colleges admitting Asians with on sport scholarship is very low. By your logic, colleges should take away sport scholarship admission for other groups and grant them to Asians so that 1. fixes the low admission of other groups based on academic performance, and 2. fixes the under representation of Asians in sport teams.
Ugh why not make a split keyboard, the regular ones are just wrist-killers (for me at least)
It's been years since I've using Spring. Everybody who pays me to work in Java has used Guava for a while. Most of what I do on my own account is in Python or C (yuck!) or AVR8 assembler. The one Java project I am working on for myself uses balls-to-the-walls metaprogramming and code generation and is designed to enable even more metaprogramming and code generation and doesn't need dependency injection.

I spent a lot of time learning Spring in the day and I felt it filled a gap in Java in a way Guava really doesn't. I call it "configuration driven development". I was writing a large series of report generators in Python and all of them had the structure of "a little script that assembles a few objects in a library together to do a task". In the case of Java that "script" is naturally a Java class that needs to be compiled, goes through the build process, involves artifact management, etc. It's very nice that Spring provides a "general configuration file" that lets you patch together a few objects without having to compile anything.
That explanation is pure victim blaming, nobody is forcing Putin to invade Ukraine.
I would like you to do a thought exercise about how many petroleum-based products you use and how your life would be affected if the supply of oil was severely limited or the price went up even more than it already has since 2020.
Loved that book. I remember him complaining that European countries were 'stoo small to swing a cat, without it passing through customs' and that Korean dog soup was remarkably palatable 'when you consider what a hot, wet dog smells like'.
As other people were writing here: it does not matter the name of the system they cut off Russia or any other aggressor. Russia and Belarus can develop their own SWIFT like system. What it matters is EU/USA saying to their economies: do not trade* with Russia. The name of the system where this is implemented is irrelevant!
Recital 23 elaborates on Article 3 2(a), which covers the offering of goods or services to people in the Union as a bases for applying GDPR.

There's also 2(b), which covers the monitoring of behavior as far as their behavior takes place within the Union. Recital 24 at https://gdpr-info.eu/recitals/no-24/ elaborates on that:

> The processing of personal data of data subjects who are in the Union by a controller or processor not established in the Union should also be subject to this Regulation when it is related to the monitoring of the behaviour of such data subjects in so far as their behaviour takes place within the Union.

> In order to determine whether a processing activity can be considered to monitor the behaviour of data subjects, it should be ascertained whether natural persons are tracked on the internet including potential subsequent use of personal data processing techniques which consist of profiling a natural person, particularly in order to take decisions concerning her or him or for analysing or predicting her or his personal preferences, behaviours and attitudes.

(line break added between sentences to make it easier to read).

Unlike 2(a), 2(b) doesn't require any attempt to attract an EU audience so is more easy to accidentally fall under.
Anything cheaper is mass produced, and there's not a big enough market to mass produce these, so we are stuck with bespoke prices. Not many choices if you want a steel case!
Damn! It's quite obvious what happened here. CEO is lying by using the term "unusual activity" b'se why would the unusual activity only apply to African startups?

But this is no surprise, for example, African startups are sometimes asked to move their headquarters / company registration to like Europe or US before receiving investment.
I assume this is a response to Derek Sivers post: Write Plain Text Files https://sive.rs/plaintext

I've been using computers daily for about 35 years now and I have a _lot_ of plain text files that I regularly use -- notes, lists, outlines, quotes, links, etc. Does anyone who has been around a while, have a large multi-decade collection of texts that are _not_ plain text? What formats do you use? How do you maintain access to those files over time?
The assumption here is that Chinese banks operate with only a profit movie. Things don't work that way in China, the CCP could compel one or more Chinese banks to co-operate if it serves their geopolitical interests.

China would be keen on establishing and testing an alternative to SWIFT & CHIPS, the US stranglehold on financial systems, as they know the US would use it serve her geopolitical interests.

Looking at the number of countries sanctioned, there is no dearth of customers.

This reminds of Borg from Star Trek, more you use your weapons against them, faster they adapt.
I wonder why no one has come up with a try-before-you-buy download option. First X levels are free, next Y levels are $0.25-$0.50 (assuming the full cost of the game is $1, adjust accordingly), the rest of the levels are the remaining price of the same.

For a casual game a model like this would be a good way to get a decent amount of revenue from anyone that likes the game but may not be completionist or get bored with it at some point.

Then, in the rare instance that you have a hit game, you can further supplement it with paid DLC for extra levels that you have to own the base game for.
Thanks Eric – we're big Netlify fans, too!
What are you talking about?

Am I "not trusting myself" when I download an open source library instead of reimplementing the wheel? Should I ask a colleague to write a Javascript interpreter from scratch to show my "trust" in them? Should we collectively conspire to make developing software harder so that n00bs will be out of a job and everyone will have less software and services to use, at a more expensive price point?

It's one thing to lament the average quality of devs you're working with, it's another to suggest the problem is to go back to the 1980s and weed out all the beginners who couldn't code without open source libs.
I think all those countries "on the periphery of polite society" should be capable of asking themselves: "Will we ever invade another sovereign country completely unprovoked with the goal of annexing them?"

If the answer is "no", they have nothing to worry about. Russia has already shown that anything less than this results in little more than a slap on the wrist.

If the answer is "yes", or even "maybe", then yeah, they're going to have to stay out of international institutions. As it should be.

M-KOPA secured a $75M growth equity funding round
I think it's more a question of "can they do it?" versus "should they do it?" Edit-and of course Win95 had the famous reactions of people mobbing through stores for it. The reaction itself was fanatic for those times.

But also, I grew up with 95/98 and never had the money for a Mac until college. For me, the G4 Cube or the Lampshade iMac were both wild form factors wildly out of my range. Not helped by building my own gaming machines around those times and going the linux direction. i.e. I think those Mac OSes might benefit from having not been obtainable and thus desirable. For sorta similar reasons, I and others might be hoping Haiku OS gains traction/a commercial application some day.

Having said all that, this looks really well done.
This article seems to be directed at dealing with people that use SPAs to make more content focused websites, which quite obviously are better made with the browser.

However, for an application with a persistent UI, I fail to see how constant page loads and navigation just because "the browser can do this" make any sense at all.

Even the example is a bit silly - SPAs that should be SPAs don't really have "links" per say, they will mostly have buttons, which will have a some sort of defined action. Perhaps these buttons will navigate to some other screen in the application, however, reloading all of the client side state every time one does this is absurd to say the least.

Finally, from a technical perspective, having a clear separation of concerns by having code talk to an API as opposed to HTML being rendered on the server, you remove a lot of complexity.

It feels like the people who write these articles don't actually remember how utterly shit the jQuery days were.
Ukraine Offers to Pay Russian Soldiers to Surrender
"Prioritising the longevity of data can sacrifice the authenticity of what it tries to capture and preserve. When I say authenticity, I refer to how accurate and detailed the data in question preserves a particular state. An original raw image, for example, will capture a landscape much more authentically than written text would. Written text will inevitably comprise of ambiguity and even bias, if not distortion."

How about for video? This effectively kills the ability for a small website to pay for video hosting services from a well scaled video CDN. This effect can be generalized: At some point the only organizations with the resources to comply with the GDPR are in fact the big tech companies.

People's cognitive capabilities can also degrade as they age. Should every author write easier to comprehend versions of their works because of it? I don't think so. That being said, even with degraded reaction times, every Souls game is completely passable.

""For three years, all IT companies will be exempted from paying income tax and from inspections by regulatory authorities, they will be able to take loans on favorable terms to continue their work and new projects at a rate not exceeding 3%," Mishustin said.

"The skin biopsy is especially objective and cannot be explained away as psychosomatic."

Just to point out, by definition psychosomatic illnesses result in physical (soma) changes that would still be observable in an objective measure. An example would be longterm depression restructuring the brain or suppressing the immune system.

So the change has been objectively observed. The mechanism causing it would still need to be determined to classify it as strictly physical or psychosomatic, although it does rule it out as being strictly psychological.
They don't know about frameworks in Italy?
There are tools to create bindings for C and C++, like SWIG you can see some examples in [0], e.g. the wxWidgets bindings for Python. AFAIK for Gtk bindings can be generated using gobject introspection handling most (if not all) of the mundane bits.

It looks like this posting did the trick (though it's pretty meta and I'm surprised it hasn't been flagged).

If you created an HN account just so that you can use it for social proof on Keybase, you should know that people who are looking at whether your Keybase account is "credible" won't consider an HN account with one "ask" and 5 karma to be proof. If you're using Keybase correctly, the right way to gain reputation is to have your key signed by a bunch of people (ideally who you know) that vouch for your account's identity.

If all your interactions are anonymous/pseudonymous and you want to keep your identity private, having only those in your personal network sign your key is a good way to be exposed via graph analysis. It's better to develop a rapport with other anonymous users and gain respect/credibility via intelligence, good will, etc. This is a pretty long-term play but is definitely possible.
> We pay most doctors and hospitals based on patient outcomes, not fee-for-service.

Wouldn't doctors be incentivized by this fee structure to walk away from difficult cases, where a treatment is risky but is the last hope for the patient, if they won't be paid for the likely bad outcome?

I don't think there is anything out there yet, there are upload/sync platforms like syncthing or nextcloud, and web based photo managers like PhotoPrism, but I haven't heard of anything completely integrated like google photos.

Syncthing is much better than nextcloud IMO, worth trying that out for photos.
I had a bit of a battle to find out how to do a couple of things, but the weirdest challenge was to find out how to force it to refresh a Let's Encrypt certificate!

I absolutely love the performance, and now I have it working, I am super-pleased with the simplicity of the configuration for e.g. a nuxt static site with a PHP graphql server.

But it really was a bit mindbending.
I'm using Recoll for this exact purpose. Just without inotify.
Hate to break it to you but Nextjs is for building SPAs.
Was There a Civilization on Earth Before Humans? (2018)
I wasn't aware that this is entirely metal but still the steep price would make me think twice before buying it. I imagine it's built like a tank and it will last forever but so will a Leopold, though it's top facing case is plastic. Perhaps if I played on one and really fell in love I'd shell out that kind of money.
Been meaning to. I don't like the idea of buying a PS4 for just 1 game. I keep hoping it will come to PC.
> But my guess is that you simply get your information from clearly biased media.

If you're going to accuse people of using biased sources, it would be good for you to include some examples of clearly unbiased media, so that they can compare and learn.
Actually they're told by the commission which is elected by nobody. The EU parliament doesn't make law (i.e. it's not really a parliament). It's the civil service that does that in the EU. Parliament just rubber stamps it.

Ahhh, okay thank you for clarifying. The "stacked notifications", especially if something fails, makes total sense. That is what made it "click" in my head where Courier fits in the stack.

If I start using SingleFile today, will I still be open saved pages after the update to Manifest V3?

The only thing I did different is spent more than 15 minutes on trying to understand the documentation. Maybe it was just finding what the secret was that deserved such dense documentation.
I think this is an underappreciated point, consoles and PC stores have been able to maintain some quality, but I doubt most people playing gacha games today know they're gacha, much less what the odds on pulls are. In moderation this is all ok, but getting there as an industry seems tough on mobile. There are more good ports than ever, especially for indies on mobile, which is a good start.
I had some bad experiences with Python back in the day (1999!) and then later was disgusted by the Python 2 vs Python 3 split but I got dragged kicking and screaming back into Python because the demand was high and people just kept showing up wanting me to do Python work.

I found out Python 3 wasn't that bad and now it's my preferred language for general hacking even though my paying work tends to involve Java or Javascript.
It depends on how the kickback is routed.

General franchisee revenue goes in a big bucket allocated across the entire corporation. A specific kickback might be going into one guy's pocket... If that one guy has sufficient political clout within the corporation, it could cause the present situation.
Perhaps this is a protools vs. Reaper thing, but none of that is ever lost in Reaper. So long as I don't get rid of the directory, I will not lose any of that. And, if we're talking about the producer, creating the final mix doesn't lose any of the authenticity of their session.

I'm probably missing something, but between wav files and the metadata (which is, IIRC, marked up text files in Reaper), the producer will never lose anything.

EDIT: Confirmed, .rpp files (and most of the plugins) are text files. So, best of both worlds - longevity AND authenticity (and infinite undo).
If you follow this line of thought, you can eg. run your services for say a learning platform yourself than using SaaS like Thinkific. Or self-host WordPress instead of using WordPress.com - This is a huge disadvantage for business based in Europe, especially small ones. On paper any businesses with users in Europe should follow this, but in practice nobody is bothered except domestic businesses.

I can't even.
yeah, ear sensors are for a ground and a reference, to be able to remove noise from the EEG (basically you are trying to have a channel which has no EEG)

Muse is more or less couple of neurosky's glued together. With multiple sensors you can at least get to know which eye blinked, extract stuff like raised eyebrows and such. But dry electrodes on the forehead will never really give any good EEG results.

There was a paper when somebody managed to get P300 working with neurosky, but they needed to average something like a 1000 trials. This is tens of minutes of looking at a flashing screen.
Completely OT, but "Baikonur cosmodrome" is such a beautiful name. Shame we are using it in the context of war and destruction, and not in a futuristic Space Exploration, transhumanist one.

Fair.
Personally I think if their done right it's fine. The master chief collection has one of the best, most consumer friendly ones that I've seen.
That is another issue, yes, it is not trivial (though it isn't like making a browser or even a game engine - especially since game engines nowadays tend to have their own GUI toolkits :-P) but my point was that you do not need to replicate what Qt does to have a useful and usable library.
