"Why BSD?" wasn't the question. I have already read a lot of the arguments about that particular question. If I were to generalize my question to ladyanita22, it would be, "Why would you want to run a BSD for Gnome, Wayland, Steam/Proton, and other generally Linux software, instead of running it directly on Linux where it is supported best?"

What does the user get out of running a BSD for Linux software that they can't get out of Linux? If you prefer BSD, then why not use software that is better tailored for BSD rather than software that requires porting and changing or removing all of the Linux specific bits?
I "admire" how the western world now is all in in the war against Russia, from tech companies to media to the random person on the Internet and between. You can't find many different opinions on the matter, all the focus against the "crazy Putin" and Russia. I wish our "Elites" learned from their western masters how to take a firm stand for your people war and how those masters will throw the "liberal values" in the nearest bin when it contradicts their interests.

> [Ukraine/Israel] is persecuting its [Russian/Arab] minorities by enacting discriminatory laws

The analogy doesn’t hold here. Ukraine shouldn’t persecute it’s Russian minority. (Hell, it’s Russian-speaking cities are lobbing Molotov cocktails at the invaders.)

And Palestine isn’t mounting an invasion of Israel, though if they had the capability, it’s uncertain they wouldn’t—the Arab nations tried twice.
It's a mixed bag, the so-called "obfuscated servers" can sometimes allow you to watch region-locked content on Netflix.

The signal for who is a good developer is so unbelievably low for a leetcode interview. I do feel like some codebases have been made unmaintainable because of the "fail fast, break often" mentality that I feel like is taking over things. In the interviews I give I touch on many other aspects of code design, testing, and review especially for senior candidates.

Obviously its not bad enough yet to warrant changing the process though at top companies, so maybe I'm the one who is interviewing in the wrong ways.
I'm pretty sure this was an episode on HBO's Silicon Valley. The character's Tesla drove itself onto a container ship with the driver stuck inside, unable to get out of the car.
I've looked into building cross-platform GUI toolkits before and I think you're underselling the difficulty pretty considerably. To build these toolkits, you need expertise in everything from graphics programming to text rendering (which itself is surprisingly pernicious: https://gankra.github.io/blah/text-hates-you/) to accessibility and more. And then there are things which are just "regular hard" like constraint solvers for layout engines, designing a decent API, etc.
A buddy of mine does this via text message. He'll ask, "hey are you working tomorrow?", and it's 50:50 whether his next question is going to be

"can you pick me up from the airport?" (forcing me to quickly reply yes even if I might not want to, because he already knows I'm not working and I don't want to seem rude—why can't he just take the train?),

or "im in town, wanna hang out tonight? (sure, sounds like fun).

Wish he'd skip the leading question and not put me in a corner.

You think teens wary of Spotify tracking what they listen to caused a 15% increase in sales?
I absolutely understand the distaste, but you'll have to compare that against your current "subscription" of insurance fees. Hopefully they either go down or go away.
You're not wrong. We're all placing immense amounts of trust in uBlock Origin. I often say that the blockers should be fully integrated into the browsers themselves in order to solve the trust problem. It's sad that it can't happen due to conflicts of interest.
Perhaps some consumers are discovering that they really don't like it when an artist they have been listening to on their subscription streaming service suddenly disappears because of a label dispute.
I have a website bringing a lot of money using ads. I don't attempt to detect adblockers, or deter users from using them, and use them myself.

ublock origin is wonderful. If one day, everybody is using it and I can't make money from ads anymore, I'd say it would be a sad day for my wallet, but a great day for humanity.
At least if you use Tor Browser, you will learn a few words in just about every language.

Is there any evidence at all that Ukranians are actually doing this, or is this another one of these justifications for BTC that are basically "Theoretically it could do x" phrased as "It's helping these people do x" when, in fact, no one actually uses it to do x.

If I were a Ukranian refugee I would be getting every penny I can out into cash, preferably euros. Not sticking all my money into some dodgy internet currency from a country that generally no longer has reliable internet access.
> Just being shocked is not an argument.

Most people don't feel the need to argue against openly legislated apartheid; we can just be shocked. If I see a car crash, I don't argue with it either.

Everybody understands that laws like this are essential for building up an ethnostate, but most people don't think that's a defense.
Depends if it's a busy room with a lot of actively chatting users, or a quiet room with only a few people active at once.

In either case, skipping the chitchat is beneficial. In a busy room, ask the question and if someone catches it they can respond right away. Any attempt at a "hello how are you" will likely be lost in the noise.

In slower rooms, treat it as asynchronous.

And in 1-1 chats, treat it as asynchronous.
They’re bidet-less but I’v never been to a convenience store without a bathroom in the US - but they’d all be gas stations as well for me. Is that a thing in inner cities?

Also, the actual public toilets in Tokyo are some of the worst that I’ve seen.

It’s Europe that’s inhospitable, bathroom-wise. First you have to find one, and then you need to pay. I don’t see how that makes business sense to me. If people are stopping to go to the bathroom there’s a good chance they’ll buy something.

Because it's probably not just you and even small tasks can be useful to know the status and history of.

Boss: So what all did you do this year, including things that I wasn't directly involved with (like I've done in the past, working as support or internal "consulting" for other projects)

You: Well, I don't know, I didn't track it.

That's not the answer you want to give. Similarly, unless it's a solo project you'll want to be able to answer questions from colleagues. Since not every piece of data shows up in a git repo or JIRA tasks, your own log can be very helpful. Or just for yourself, "Wait, did I actually finish that thing or did I just scratch it off the 'todo' list?"
The government most certainly not. But the assertion by Russia is that the nazi nationalists attacked the separatists. Of course, you or I could say that’s complete bs. But then I would say the same about Israel’s claims about the beginnings of the intifadas.
If piracy isn't morally equivalent to theft, then I'm not sure how adblocking would be.

On the contrary, I think this says less about FB, but more so reflects a hypocrisy in "western principles" that many are probably not self-aware of.

Let's assume for a second, that FB do not relax their rules for this conflict. Then they would have to ban a whole sleuth of Ukrainian accounts, including many government accounts such as Ministry of Defense, and probably even Zelensky. You don't have to stretch your imagination to see what the headlines would look like in that case -- "Facebook bans Ukrainian resistance against Russian aggression" etc. In a sense, FB was a facing a catch-22 situation, where it's just lose-lose for them, and they had to make a call to swallow the "less poisonous" pill.

Contrast this situation with American war efforts in the middle east and Afghanistan over the past 20 years, where they faced no such conundrum.
It's fine to treat "hihowareyou" or "heyhowsitgoing" as a word that literally just means "hi". It's never a real question; it's an automatic fixed expression for us. "Good" is the customary response (doesn't matter if it's true), but ignoring the question and just saying something like "Hey, what's up?" or "Hey, how can I help?" is also a fine response that invites them to skip any other smalltalk they might have planned. This is especially a handy approach for typed chats.
Or, you could just ask the question and not shift the burden of this onto me.
I can't help but to imagine how an essay of this sort (about creativity) would look written by someone < 30yo versus written be someone > 60yo?

What I mean is that, as I have aged (and I am by no means old), the most obvious relationship between "creativity" and "age" has been the ever-raising bar that must be reached in order for me to think of something as creative.

Growing up I always thought it was so odd how indifferent my parents (and older people in general) felt towards all the newest music/movies etc., but now I realize that none of it was really new at all! It's the same stories/tropes/punchlines being regurgitated over and over. I was just young and hadn't yet had the breadth of experience to know what creativity actually looked like.

Maybe it's not that getting older makes us less creative in an absolute sense, rather, that as we get older we find it harder and harder to be creative in a relative sense? And so efforts that we may have found "worth it" at 25 no longer appeal at 65, and are therefore not even attempted (despite containing some creativity).

I don’t think this is true? Crypto doesn’t exist outside the law, you can certainly sue someone for stealing it, if you know who to sue..
If you're asking aspirationally, I agree - I'd prefer a world in which this was what people expected and wanted from their technology. I think the ongoing success of Lego gives me some hope here for a mass market for tinkering.

If you're asking more practically - the success of Raspberry Pi, Arduino, Seeed, and others suggests there's at least potentially a market here sufficient to sustain a moderately sized business for long enough to be worthwhile.

Agree about the demo, too - there's some serious wizardry on display there. I think it's one of the projects that just gets more impressive the more time you've spent trying to do what they're showing off.
The fact that you're able and willing to pay is exactly what marks you as a desired target. You can't spend your way out of people wanting your money; they'll always want more.

I always look for how the filters sounds with Res set really high. Good analog filters have a sort of fuzzy quality to them, which I suspect (not an EE here, just guessing) is extra harmonics from how that circuit behaves under those conditions. A lot of software emulations just sound thin, this included.

I'm not an authority on the 303, though. I just like to play around with analog gear sometimes.

Advocates for Israel like to use other middle eastern states to excuse all sorts of behavior.

The problem is that they try to have their cake and eat it to with these comparisons.

“Israel is the only democratic state in the Middle East!” -but the systematically control the non Jewish population.

Israel wants to display itself as the image of a society that has the same values as western states, while practicing the same things that are supposedly abhorrent by it’s neighbors.

So which is it? Is Israel a democratic state, or a Jewish nation state? Because it can’t be both.
You can try diverting from the core issue at hand, using semantic sleights of hand, but it’s becoming apparent that Israel is indeed an apartheid state.

By the laws it enacts and the oppression they enable, it is the definition of a racist state.

The world is beginning to see it too, though very slowly.
Yes, they were never unbiased or objective, but they would often try to be a bit less biased and a bit objective. Now some journalists openly mock such efforts and see their job as creating a narrative that suits their political agenda.

This is shocking to me and others because the watered down objectivity of the past was still better than nothing.

Since then, Twitter has made some more third-party-client-friendly changes. You might want to check out Tweetbot again.

DNS is better, but I find that you need to have a dns server rather than modify/update the host files on router because it'd kill it.

Pihole is great, but you have to maintain a pi. It's not hard, but the other issue is also training and education when users/family is not on it.

In the end, subscription purchases for youtube, help because the ads are really horrible on mobile platform and not blockable easily on iphone.

I went all over the place with this comment, but I agree DNS level is better then browser level. The IP is still enumerated on a browser adblock level, but not on a DNS level.
On the other hand, it has had the fortunate side effect of minimizing the amount of code which depends on C, which makes building and packaging software (including cross compilation) super simple.

Whatever people say, the solution is less buying power for everyone. For now, that's the only solution. It's hard to hear, but any economic crisis is beneficial for the environment.

There is no way we can make enough changes in 10 years, so things must go the other way. Jean Marc Jancovici says emissions must be shrink 5% per day. You can't have a thriving economy anymore.

Of course nobody wants to make any effort, because it means selling your car, turning off heating/AC, forgetting that vacation, forgetting that steak, even quitting your job, etc etc.

On one hand, we think people who live in the forest, far from everything, are crazy people. But the reality is that a life of sobriety, economic degrowth, austerity, those are the things that are needed to *save the world*.

We need to accept to eat pasta, rice and vitamins for a long time unless civilization moves away entirely from fossil fuels so that it can properly adapt.

If you refuse to accept that you must reduce your living standard, you are part of the problem, plain and simple. Politicians and companies will do exactly NOTHING if it angers consumers or if consumers keep giving those companies money.

I'm often quite pessimistic about the ability of politicians to change course about co2 emissions. Consumers have too much powers.

This law very explicitly discriminates against non-Jewish Palestinians (and Lebanese and a few others). It also disproportionately affects Israeli Arabs and others who are much more likely than Israeli Jews to have spouses who would be discriminated against by this law.
This is problematic for a number of reasons. The most important in my mind is that the risk of the vehicle being hacked and carjacked remotely is always present.

With the presence of an automation kill-switch and manual human controls the driver can always take back control.

Without those, the driver is at the mercy of the hacker.

Vehicle automation falls under the SCADA sub-domain of cyber-security. SCADA stands for Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition, and the cyber-security in SCADA systems is light-years behind. Pro-tip: going into cyber and want a good certification (if such a thing exists)..then get CISSP-SCADA.

Hi, thanks for sharing your perspective. While Stock Unlock is a great tool, I don't think it's meant for everyone. If you are a passive investor that is DCA'ing into an index, I don't think a tool like Stock Unlock would be for you.

Further/mathematically you're correct, statistically you will beat people that try to beat the market.

That being said, there's a lot of angles to this. For example, you can put x% of money into safe investments, but a lot of people do really nerd out on companies/understanding them (and will take smaller chunks of their money into more risky investments). For people like myself I can even use my capital to fund/invest in companies that are supporting causes I like (like green energy). We have found a lot of our users just enjoy learning, and it doesn't even mean they will invest.

I'll end this by highlighting that a lot of apps today are incentivized/have revenue structures which are built upon user trade frequency. That's bad. At Stock Unlock, we are incentivized to teach our users & we make money from the subscription fee for the platform. We don't care/would never push people to buy, well anything. They can take our opinionless/open research and data visualization tools and do with that what they want.

I'll end this by highlighting again, that your point makes sense and I fully respect/anticipate that we won't cater to everyone's needs today. Please keep us in mind if you ever get curious about how to analyze a single stock!
