If you gave me 4 mp3s I would be reasonably confident I could make something like that as a one off for $200. I can only assume a lot of money has gone into DRM.
The existence of some unions which don't enforce collective bargaining doesn't negate the fact that most worker unions limit the negotiating power of individuals. In fact, they actively attempt to eliminate it and socially/professionally isolate anyone who prefers to negotiate directly.

Most software developers, even top performers, are not brand name celebrities. If the union forces everyone to follow a contract, they will need to comply. Realistically, tech unions will end up looking a lot more like journalist unions than football stars.

This is explicitly the goal of the new NYT union: they are looking to "begin negotiations for a contract with management."

Some union boss negotiating my employment contract is my worst nightmare. I have friends who work in union companies and they hate the union's policies but are terrified of going against the union bosses.
Electricity costs plus cost of capital (etc).
I never had any problems with the NVidia driver either, and I can't see how it would prevent the system from booting. (I mean, it's not linked with the kernel and not set to load the module until X starts, so you can get to a single user mode console or SSH in if X breaks. Maybe people think X and booting are the same thing?)

The only complaint I had with NVidia was that a long time ago I had one of the first consumer-grade 4k displays, and it exposed itself as 2 1920x2160 displays. That all worked ... "great". X thought the monitor was two displays, and so anything that cares about the calculation of display boundaries (say, full screen video), didn't work correctly; it would just show on half the monitor. One day I found that a config parsing bug could cause the xrandr extension to be disabled while keeping everything else working, and then full screen worked. (The options to just lie to xrandr or disable it were of course broken, which is why bugs interacting with bugs was the fix. They never fixed the bugs or the bugged bugs, so shrug I guess.) It took me months of pulling out my hair to find that workaround, and having used X since before xrandr was invented it drove me crazy. In a past life, I also pulled out all my hair to get xrandr to work. It never fucking worked. And then the one time you don't want it to work, it works and can't be made not to work. Argh!!! Just send me back to 2000 please!

(Since then I've switched to Windows, and I still have that monitor. It works perfectly under Windows. You wouldn't even know that it uses the hacky Displayport MST stuff. Probably have a nice hack hard-coded right into the driver, and if it doesn't activate for some reason, you're completely screwed.)
Because the precise costs and benefits of each technology are invisible to them.
Eloff I'm not as special and indeed you are. What I mean is, you can pause your being the founder idea for 3 years and jump on someone who found high growth. One way for you could be to join some database, postgres startups. Join their open source projects and get ideas from the team.
No, I am not forced to work that particular job.

Similar story here. I did Montessori for kinder + primary school in NZ (christchurch) before moving to Aus for high school. I thoroughly enjoyed it and I think it gave me a tangible leg up over a lot of my peers. Perhaps not a huge one, and everyone is different, but I think the 3hr work cycle concept + freedom to learn at my own pace - translating into not hating or getting frustrated at school/learning + the physical equipment you use to learn mathematics concepts were the most beneficial.
So you think nVidia will want to see the release of all of its chip schematics? That's an interesting position, but I fail to see how that would be a good idea for them. Perhaps if they are hoping the hackers will be apprehended before Friday.
Gaslighting?!?

No one else bothered to buy Sun, or top Oracle's offer, that is how much the industry cared for Sun.

The amount of hate speech people can vomit against Oracle doesn't change that fact.

> And why did Oracle acquire Java? Oh that's right, they only cared about suing google. There are numerous stories of Oracle asking Sun officials specifically about that potential avenue of litigation, almost to the exclusion of any technical merits or other value to the Java assets.

Sun wanted to sue as well, they already lacked the funds to do that.

James Gosling on the matter, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYw3X4RZv6Y&t=3462s

> Oracle bundled Ask.com toolbar. End of story.

Learn your story, Sun did that not Oracle.

When Sun was acquired, Java was at version 6, and MaximeVM was a Sun Research Labs project.

Now we have Java 17 and MaximeVM graduated into GraalVM.

And to re-iterate, no one else, not a single company, bothered to top Oracle's bid.

It was definitly end of story for Sun's mismanagement.
Yes. And I think the formulation 'I'm not a big fan of' is exactly right here:

It's a bit annoying, but also a trade-off I'd be willing to make for the right advantages.
Why not just cut the transmission lines?
vmception - I get that you have massive crypto bags, because you're active on every crypto thread. But give it a rest sometimes.

Liquidations absolutely have implicit fees, as you don't have control over execution. There's a reason why every major exchange OWNS a market making unit...and it's for liquidations.

Your smug attitude in every thread towards everyone is really tiresome. I feel sorry for someone who has drank so much koolaid.
I think for that case you need a valid mac serial number, too. I think virtualized macOS does not support iMessage either (although googling seems to suggest that you might be able to get it working by copying a valid mac serial number from another device or something. Basically, if you haven't bought a real apple device, you probably won't be able to use iMessage. "Borrowing" your friend's serial number is probably not the smartest idea either.)
Heh I would not call this breathless praise. There's a minority of posters that like Brave, while the majority either refute the praise or dislike Brave (or both). If you want to dislike Brave go ahead, but at least try to form that opinion a semi-informed basis.
I was quite surprised to learn this has nothing to do with DDG. Interesting how DDG seem to have taken the meaning of "duck" in (my) mind.
Could be, but he shouldn't be helped in Russia in that case. They should be given incentives to surrender (as is already the case - but it needs to be extended).

Providing those who return from the war in russia, no matter how poorly informed or treated they were with any support sends the completely wrong signal.
I can imagine. Last year I tried to sign up to create a domain for my home server. Despite having my own IP address and a Google account I pay for recaptcha v3 they use would not let me through.
> 7 digits and still wanted to work i would think thats a major life failure

Hey I love coding, tech, AI and I'm passionate about it. So Creating a software others use, make me so happy. Having a small team of people, who can grow with me is the other aspect which excites me.
> Then he gets enrolled in primary school, within 3 months all the joy is sucked out of this kid, loathes going to school, doing homework is a daily struggle

Kids have homework in their first year of primary school???
That people would never accept not owning their media and that they would never share too intimate details of their lives with basically everyone on the internet.

Also that people vastly support freedom of speech in principle and don't need to be compelled by law and that fighting for it isn't that necessary in most advanced societies.

A small one is that engineers by heart would reject walled gardens like Apple OS for development. A lot of them do, but there is a significant population that likes paternalism.

For Covid I actually thought the response would be more relaxed. I still see it as an overreaction for everyone not in particularly threatened groups. Yes, it could hit everyone, but that fits the background noise of threats to your life.

Absolutely, it's not just pretty hard, it's pretty damn hard. Most climbers will never climb this hard (maybe ~1-5% of climbers reach this grade with lots of practice and training).

Even fewer will get to a point where they might conceivably flash or onsight 5.12d (<0.5% of climbers if I had to guess)

I doubt there are more than 10,000 people alive who would consider free soloing 5.12d at all, and I don't think anyone else has free soloed a 5.12d big wall route.
I'm not that concerned about the purity of his actions but I'm concerned that e.g. something is claimed to be a charity and ends up actually being pouring every penny into the russian war machine as e.g. "help to russian veterans".

I'm not saying that's the case, but I'm not exactly going to give an oligarch the benefit of the doubt.
Sony, Honda team up to develop and sell electric vehicles
And as someone else mentioned, it often doesn't go through procurement - there is yet another merger or acquisition, and now you support two incompatible piles of enterprise software.
Our views are mutually incompatible, but only one of us is correct. :-) time, the universal currency, will be the final arbiter.

I do hope it works out for humanity tho, maybe we are alone in the universe and we are squandering the most unique and precious outcome of random chance, life.
Yeesh. This is already getting almost as bad as Freedom Fries.
Haven’t those same companies just picked up and moved to a none union shop?
Macron said yesterday that Putin's end goal is to conquer all of Ukraine, not just the east.
Oh man, sociocracy. Tried that at my last company, after the second or third time someone used a veto (which in sociocracy must be accepted without argument), we migrated to holocracy, and then realised, bugger all this noise, holocracy is actually far too much process for a small company.

So yeah, let me know how that universal consent goes ;)

Why Is Ukraine the West's Fault? Featuring John Mearsheimer (2015)
What do you think is the worse-case outcome here? It's the release of small amounts of radioactive gasses of only concern to the local area. It has a containment dome and is already shutting down. Another Chernobyl is not possible.

If Putin wants radiation everywhere, he has thousands of nuclear warheads which can do that.
Or maybe it's like how alternative medicines that are proven to work are just called "medicine".

Geothermal: Ushering in Its “Golden Decade”

I cobbled together a bash script that used the cloudflare API to update the A record when my IP changed. It worked well.

Prior to that i used https://freedns.afraid.org which is free if you are willing to share your domain (people can create subdomains that point to their IP) or you can pay to keep it private. It's been around for a very long time, so it's unlikely to vanish. It's a very good service.
This helps but repeating the keys on each line is still a pain.
You’re right about old nuclear design.

The new designs are built with the expectation that power can be cut off. The new design shut themselves off passively without any damage (that we know of) when the power is gone.
Good catch. It's because the initial value for year is:

var year = new Date().getFullYear();

and 2022 is outside of the range of the slider. If you tweak the HTML to change the slider's max value to 2022, then it works properly.
The AMA is an incredibly successful union. It is exactly the sign of how bad unions can be for society while being good for some of their members.

Thousands of people have died because of the AMA. Perhaps even hundreds of thousands through the artificial medical professional shortage they began.

Fortunately, America is moving away from MDs to NPs to scale medicine. The nation will treat unions as damage and route around them.
GPUs ship with far more workarounds in the drivers because the programmer only has access to the hardware via drivers that can cover up the bugs, and because they’re not constrained by binary compatibility.
one could just pay a small yearly fee to register their domain with google and get easy/unlimited ddns.
We are 98.4 identical genetically with chimpanzees. In other words, if another entity, not humans, created the biological kingdom taxonomy we would end up being called the same species.
You're operating under an assumption that Putin will only use nuclear power if we cross some imaginary line. We analyze agreements, fine print, war conventions. Those things don't matter to him. If he feels he is losing this war he will threaten nuclear weapons anyway. He may threaten it if he doesn't get exactly what he wants. We need to stop normalizing the idea that there is some holy line which is we just stay away from bad things won't happen.

Putin just moves the line wherever he wants and you will keep dancing around it. This naive thinking really needs to die already.
That sounds very inefficient. How did that whole industry not get their lunch eaten by other states / countries?
> It won't, and it's a very important technology since it's the only way for humans to store digital property without relying on some government or corporation.

Proof of work is the thing people have a problem with. There's lots of cryptographic techniques that you can use without proof of work.

And the only thing the likes of bitcoin need proof-of-work for is to avoid double-spending attacks.

Not quite sure what you mean by digital property. I can store valuable files just fine without proof-of-work. And we can copy them and give them to everyone in the world, too, at almost no cost.

Cryptocurrencies (and similar) allow you to keep a digital ledger. But the meaning of that ledger is still something we construct socially.

As a silly example: people agree to treat bitcoins as fungible. But they are perfectly traceable, so people could also agree to reject some specific bitcoin (and any descendent bitcoin that can be traced back to the banned ones; so if you mix them in a transaction, you just spread the taint).

For a slightly more real world example: I can imagine if Satoshi rose from the grave and held an auction to sell off the first bitcoin ever mined, he would get more than whatever bitcoin is currently trading for.
Huh? I am probably OOTL, but when/how did Google did that?
I guess my point is that you can point to almost any piece of technology, from the advent of agriculture to the flatscreen TV, and say that it created problems.

Replacing old problems with new problems is probably an inherent part of technological advancement and innovation, you just hope the benefit is worth the cost (it would be great to find technologies that just solve problems with no cost, but that’s not what you see in history).
anything is possible in war. if Ukraine was on the brink of losing everything and they had nuclear weapons, would they not use them against Russia? that's the whole point. if your state is about to cease to exist, you are desperate. for now, the war has not reached this point. if Ukraine where to try to use nuclear material now they would lose allies. but you don't know what the war will look like in 2 weeks. so I don't think it's fantasy.
There is no way to hit Putin and his war chest directly. The intent of the sanctions is to indirectly weaken him and his power structure and undermine his public support. The cultural sanctions are certainly the mildest, the economic sanctions are going to hit the average Russian a lot harder. All of the sanctions work together to send a clear message.

Will it work? We don't know. Sanctions does not have a good track record of being effective, but on the other hand such a massive package of sanctions have been tried before.

Of course the effect of any single sanction seem negligible. Does it stop the war to cancel a chess match? Of course not. Does it stop the war to seize some billionaires Yacht? Probably not. But the combined force of all the sanctions hopefully have an effect.

Some say that popular support does not matter because Putin is a dictator. However Putin himself clearly believe popular support is important, otherwise why the need for the massive propaganda and silencing dissenting voices?

When taking about the fairness of the sanctions, realize that a "fair and proportional response" according to international law would be to literally bomb and shell Russians cities.
I would need a few citations for "superior in the vast majority of use-cases".

The fact that recursion can compile down to iteration when written in a tail-call manner, while other languages are just providing iteration as a core part of the system, kinda implies that FP isn't "superior in the vast majority of use-cases".

Although, as the ol Verity Stob quote goes "Lisp is still #1 for key algorithmic techniques such as recursion and condescension".

And you're really nailing the latter.
I mean, when you start deleting css because you think it's redundant.

Not a comment on the tool itself, just the nature of css and it's emergent complexity. It's very difficult to refactor large css codebase, especially in an automated or part-automated fashion.
Instead of catching an error why not just return it. Then it's obvious to anyone reading that an error can happen there.

auto fileOrError = downloadFile();
if (fileOrError is error) {...}
Maybe:
- Password manager compromised
- Personal details - mobile, email, flagged with third party fraud checker
- IP flagged (access via vpn, same network something happening)
The relevant metric is probably something like electricity spend (or ton of CO2 emitted) per dollar of economic value created.

Bitcoin and ethereum burn a lot of electricity, but they are also worth a lot.
This would be a neat way to control errosion and stabilise the Earth.

Removing LHR doesn't help Linux gamers at all. What would help is if they leaked the source code so people could patch nvidia's shitty drivers.
Just one nuclear reactor can be used to create continent wide Red forest. Chornobyl disaster was just an incident without evil intent. Small fraction of nuclear fuel was released into atmosphere. With evil intent, much larger percent of nuclear fuel can be turned into thin dust and released into atmosphere. Larger reactors contain much more nuclear fuel. With evil intent, much more radioactive elements, such as radioactive iodine or radioactive noble gases, can be breed in reactor before blow up. With evil intent, safety systems can be disabled to produce maximal amount of dangerous elements. Depending on time given for preparation and technique used, it can be from 1 Fukushima to 10k Chornobyls. If NATO will give initiative to Russians, they can blow up reactor in good weather, so RF will not be affected, but EU will gone.

Imagine this, you're laying in bed at night, it's quiet outside just as it should be when sleeping, except for the constant ringing of your tinnitus.

You roll over, maybe you cover your ears or put a pillow over them, but the ringing sound doesn't change. In fact you realise nothing you do has any effect on the ringing sound - it's coming from within your head/ears, how do you block out a sound which is emanating from within?

You're tired, you just want to sleep, you have an early business meeting tomorrow, but throughout the perfect silence of the night, this ringing sound is relentless.
You know you just need to ignore it and focus on something else, which might be easier if you weren't also trying to clear your mind so you could sleep.
So you decide to get back up out of bed and take something, anything, that will knock you out.

Now that you're drugged up you get back into bed, laying there waiting for the drugs to put you to sleep, waiting while listening to that torturous sound, waiting while thinking about how easy it used to be to sleep, thinking about how you'll never know true peace and silence ever again.
At some point you fall asleep, only to wake up in the morning feeling like shit from the drugs and lack of sleep.

I would give anything to be able to sleep in peace again.
Such people are real but they aren't "total shut ins", a lot of it has to do with bullying and anxiety and abuse.

That and our hunter gatherer past, many people simply aren't meant to be corporate slaves that most people are.

Industrial captialism where you own nothing and in a state of permanent indebtedness to rich mega corporations and the richest families on the planet. Not exactly a high quality life if you are are at the bottom of the class structure.

Riverdb's https://github.com/riverdb/riverdb/blob/master/README.md seems to appear a bit counter-growth.

- A proprietary, alpha software is could be anti-growth in the PG world.

I think your README.md can be made more welcoming with

- a getting started
- tutorial/configuration
- install steps
- a video link why this is cool.

Then it should be a software problem since the system is not really freezing, just your window manager probably. Temperatures are good. I am no expert for the possible causes here, my uneducated guess would be a driver issue or some incompatibility with your hardware.

Reinstalling is a lot of work but might help. If you don't care for LTS versions, perhaps try a newer one. But that is all based on guesses, maybe ask in a forum specifically for Ubuntu and tell them about the specific hardware you are using. Perhaps someone has similar experiences.
They prevent double spending attacks.

That service is useful for some people.

You can of course disagree. Just like you can disagree that building and fueling yachts for rich people is useful.
