It is a bit of a pain to use, however, using it becomes second nature after a while, just like uMatrix for the browser originally had a learning curve associated with it.

Piracy, whether torrenting or finding some other site to download files and then manage them, are a lot more hassle than simply streaming from YouTube.

There’s also plenty of YouTube videos that are basically entire albums in one. One can listen to that copyright infringing content too without even bothering to enable AdBlock. Really for all of your considerations on the legal implications, UX is king and the really the only major factor after the economic, for the end-user.
That's a separate button

MkDocs is more for documentation, but sure you can use it for a static site. However, you may want to compare it to something like Hugo which is more geared towards general site creation.

I use the Reddit website. It's slow and horrible enough that even though I visit every day, but don't get sucked into spending hours on it.

I also watch YouTube instead of TikTok. YouTube is slower paced and hasn't (yet) fallen into the trap of continual submersion in content without a break. You have to consciously choose to watch another video. I can also tell myself that I'm watching content that is pseudo-educational in nature (like Jay Foreman, Stuff Built Here, Jazza or Mark Rober).

I've started using TikTok a couple of times and it just seems like the perfect engagement machine. It's like a machine that drip-feeds dopamine. Pure evil, in my opinion.
And then you decide to punish people who trying to help you right now? That's f"{awesome}"
I find visual studio to be absolutely horrendous for C++. Refactoring doesn't work (even a simple rename symbol!) The errors aren't accurate, autocomplete seems to suggest every symbol from the stdlib before the class defined in the file itself and can't tell when it should suggest classes vs functions/variables.

Oh and of course compile errors are absolutely useless but I suppose that's a C++ thing in general. The error panel shows the (last? First?) Error in a chain of errors, which is always something deep in library code. E.g. accidentally tried to copy a non-copyable object using unique_ptr? You can't find the offending callsite, it just points you to xmemory and at best the class being wrongly used.
There's a kind of vicious cycle here where people feel disconnected from their surroundings and communities, and attention-stealing apps make a business of providing a surrogate through parasocial relationships and infinite access to the spectacle and new ways to interact with it.

Parasocial relationships aren't real relationships, and the spectacle replaces doing anything directly, there is no fulfilment and the cycle continues. There's an epidemic of people who can't have hold a conversation or relate to anyone without mediating the conversation through a common topic that they've experienced on mass or social media. They're addicted to watching a simulation of having a life, and not actually living the one life they have.
Triggers for me, though you could argue those could/should be baked in the queries.
Sounds like the same mentality which lead to "cause cancer in California". All of the hysterical bullcrap with no sense of proportion leads to being ignored completely. It seems like even with the rise of drug legalization support they learned nothing from the failures of DARE and "scare them straight".

My understanding is Apple imposed no additional technical restrictions, apart from nearly a consent pop up. In-app attribution is still possible, if the user approves.
As much as I want to say this advice is terrible and useless… yeah. Move the things that aren't books far away, and read a book. When it's boring, put it down, but don't let go of it. Wait a few minutes, then move it back in front of your face and keep reading.

It's possible you picked a bad book, but it's more likely that it isn't engaging enough. It normally takes me a few days (after half a year book-free) to get back into reading, but it's worth it.
How do you think, would I be able to pay for my hosting, if central office of my bank would be bombed?

The vast majority of electricity is not generated from oil unless you’re in a remote area or an island (Hawaii).

I appreciate the feedback!

But that wasn't my motivation, and I don't agree that the risk of getting reported for theft if you rent a car from Hertz is "one detail of the story" or that the actual error rate tradeoff of the process is "irrelevant"; rather, I think it's almost the only actionable information about the whole story unless you're working in law enforcement or Hertz management, or defending an accused person in court.

Apart from that, it's just a sad human-interest story: look, as a result of this Kafkaesque bureaucratic procedure, a terrible thing happened to this guy and this other guy you don't know. I try not to spend my time on that kind of thing both because the depths of human suffering are limitless and because stories like this are often used to manipulate rather than enlighten.

It's true that nearly all inferences from information like this are necessarily based on additional hypotheses which are not necessarily stated up front; in this example, the hypothesis that reporting car thefts to the police is standard industry practice, which I still think is true. Surfacing those hypotheses when reasoning is questioned, as I did, is often a useful way to resolve disagreements, because either the hypotheses or the reasoning based on them can be wrong, and making them explicit allows you to discuss which. It doesn't imply that the hypotheses were constructed after the fact to rationalize the previously stated conclusion :)

The only experience I have with this process was from a brief period of time when I lived with a programmer named John in 02000; we had been working at the same startup, which had rented some shared housing for us.

John had a cocaine problem and a profound lack of consideration for others. He rented what I seem to recall was a truck and at some point left his Basenji locked up in it, returning to find the dashboard chewed to pieces. He evidently decided he needed to repair the vehicle before returning it, but didn't succeed in doing that very quickly (I'm not sure what the difficulty was), so the rental car company sent a repo man around. The truck was inside the garage with the garage door closed, and rather than answering the doorbell, John poured orange juice on the repo man from the second-floor window to make him go away. When the police started leaving messages on the answering machine about auto theft, I moved out into a hotel. As far as I know, he was able to resolve the dispute without getting arrested, though he did take a long trip to Colorado about that time.

This experience probably biases me to think about true accusations of rental car theft rather than false ones.

As for being clever, I have met people who are dumber than I am, but I have no reason to think you're one of them, and standardized tests are at best limited in their ability to measure such things.
In this case I'm pretty sure GP talks about the informal delegators that just wants to push the problem to someone else. Don't take it personally :)

What Is Money, Anyway?
While Mir and UnionPay was already popular-ish in Russia, I don't think "Visa & MasterCard cut off Russia" is true. They merely separated the networks so Visa cards from outside Russia won't work inside, and vice-versa. But I haven't physically verified this myself.
But crude =/= natural gas! Especially outside of the Europe markets
I saw a comment on reddit that made me think, it was a Russian person saying that sanctions only hurt the average citizen when the ruling class has enough wealth to not be affected much. They also said that popular opinion will either turn against the west (for imposing the sanctions) or not hurt Putin much because he doesn't really need popular approval (which I'm not sure I believe).

Do the sanctions actually hurt Putin, or are we hurting ourselves and the everyday Russian for nothing?
Imo, the biggest mistake made by auto industry is to not transition regular gasoline powered cars to hybrid in the past decade. Such a low hanging fruit.

Also, write. I find it easier to remember things if I’ve written them down, so when I mix writing in with reading, I feel like I better retain the things I read.

Start with a quote you liked when you were reading and just let your thoughts flow into the paper, you might go for many pages and an hour or more before coming up for air.

I like to call the activity of reading and writing “conversing with the universe.”

Conversely, I find that I can dump hours into social media and not remember anything when I finally snap out of it. It’s junk food for the mind.

I've had some luck by going back to "simpler" books for a while - page-turner scifi, bestsellers, YA literature. For a while I only read things that really grabbed my attention, and I think that is gradually re-training my brain.

I'm not back to being as avid of a reader yet, but I'm optimistic I'll get there. I'm reading more now than I have in a few years.

Based on the fact that he said the sanctions are “an act of war”, I presume he’s feeling some pain from them.

Still don't have even the vaguest beginnings of a clue what the fuck a monad is, after reading 50 articles promising to make it simple, as well as their accompanying 500-comment HN threads. I suspect the real problem is that, as a C/C++/C#/ASM programmer, I lack concepts that are strict prerequisites, and people underestimate the importance and/or existence of those prerequisites.

What I did was I gave up and no longer click those articles.
Elite Dangerous has a multiplayer mode, but also a single player mode. Single player is single player, there's no reason to be connected, other than to make sure the player has not done something naughty with their copy.

>No, you're missing my point entirely, which is that there's a maintenance cost to perpetuity. It's just placed somewhere else in this case.

And what you're missing is that "perpetuity" is a lie. In practice most online games don't even to ten years before the developers shut their servers down permanently. If you really love Elite and you think it's the best game ever, you can take measures to continue playing it today, 38 years after it came out. Do you think Elite Dangerous will continue being profitable for another 30 years?
Yes, MkDocs is a decent option for hosting static sites on GitHub.
Probably not much. Eyeballing this chart[1], it looks like "Finished Motor Gasoline" dropped from pre-pandemic levels of around ~9000 Mbbl/d to around ~8000 Mbbl/d around jan 2021, which was presumably peak WFH/lockdown. That translates to a drop of 11.1%. According to another chart[2], "motor gasoline" makes up 44% of oil supplied, with 96% going to transportation. Multilpying those numbers out, we find that for the US, reinstituting WFH/lockdowns similar to the ones in effect in jan 2021 would cause crude consumption to go down by 4.69%. Presumably "optional WFH" will have a lower impact than this, because of people not choosing to WFH, or people using their vehicle for leisure activities.

TMobile deserves a serious fine after this. I didn't even learn about the breach until I got a credit monitoring notification that my SSN was found on the dark web along with my DLN.

When I contacted TMobile was told that I could no longer even get free credit monitoring cause it had expired despite that they didn't send me a notification of the breach.
The responsibility to protect corporate information does not generally include any resistance to duress, almost every company has to simply accept that the health or life or imprisonment of the responsible employee is more valuable (really, on a whole different scale) than the protection of that information, and they have to instruct their employees to comply with any duress - just as bank tellers are instructed to just hand over cash when threatened, or as happened when duress was applied to employee family members in the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009_Bank_of_Ireland_robbery - if you're not working in the military or intelligence services where literally lives are at stake, it's exceedingly likely that your threat model should simply not include trying to resist duress, and if you do, you're immorally putting your employees at risk to protect something that's relatively not that important like corporate profits.
That's all known information. Not sure why you would need a subscription for that.
Nice to see another cracking the 'nodes and strings' style of programming. However, as is I don't see a strong future for this one. It looks like it has replicated the ideas of many which have gone before without significant evolution. The long history of 'nodes and strings' for general programming shows that it isn't going to catch on in the current form.

Some problems in no particular order:
* The presentation logic and execution logic of nodes are mixed together in the same python class.
* Information density. Nodes and strings just can't fit enough on the screen.
* Independent editor which doesn't integrate with other code editing tools. All the niceties of an established text editor or IDE have to be given up.
* In my opinion 'get var' and 'set var' leak too much of the text based code paradigm into the flow paradigm.
* It only outputs python, which already has a low barrier to entry. Outputting C or Rust or LLVM IR would make the product much more interesting.

However, after all the criticism, keep going. There is a future hidden somewhere inside this type of coding, it just hasn't been discovered yet.
Sometimes they do. I don't know how to tell the difference between “child's desires are being listened to” and “people are speaking for the child” other than talking to them – and often, children don't feel comfortable speaking their minds even when they're assured it's safe to do so, so it's hard for me to tell even then. (Ymmv: I imagine skilled practitioners of social-fu can tell the difference.)

But just because adults are saying that a child wants something, that doesn't mean the child doesn't want that thing.
Thank you for pointing that out. I definitely hadn't internalized that point.

Sounds like it's a soft limit, so ok for backups. I normally pull about 100GB/month (just verifying files) on a 4TB backup set, so I don't usually hit this.

I do think this should be more clearly started in the pricing page, though.

---

The other gotcha with Wasabi is you pay for a minimum of 90 days of storage for each file (so if you upload, then delete it immediately, it's billed for 3 months regardless). This, again, is fine for backups for me, but definitely has made some early months where I was figuring out my backup strategy a bit more expensive than it might otherwise have been.
Since we already made nuclear wastes, it's sunk cost though it's still matter. Double it won't add cost very much.

I would argue strongly for that. Triggers should be used rarely. If you need an update to cause some other side effect, make the whole process explicit in a stored procedure. Triggers can cause suprises and affect transactions in ways that are not always obvious.
I would invest in this

That just encourages trouble. The most experienced editors are also the most likely editors to be surreptitiously on the payroll of some PR firm.

That's creating an environment where those editors can edit articles on the basis of papers not available to the general public and pinky swear that their translated-onto-wikipedia interpretation of the paper is correct.

Hmm... be careful not to use that locking feature when 'locking' it to a regular sign post. When I lived in NYC, my roommate's bike was stolen when a thief just removed bolts holding the sign and then he just lifted the whole bicycle and the lock over the post. He then bolted the sign back on. We saw the surveillance video from a neighbor's surveillance camera and the whole thing took under 3 minutes. We initially assumed the lock was defeated but this was a much more ingenious way.

The Wikipedia article on Kadyrov is horrifying.

The fact they're sending a stable coin over Ethereum lends more credit to blockchain. They've pegged a fiat asset and it's way easier to use, granted on Ethereum gas prices are prohibitively high but that will change soon enough and there are other EVM chains with much cheaper gas and the same end experience.
