> There is always something, there will always going to be an issue that will make you have to tinker with it one way or another always.

That's just not true. To give you additional anecdata: my (non technical, fairly old) father was constantly struggling with his Windows install and I was having to help out every few months. I put him on Ubuntu and showed him how to accept patches. It's been rock solid since. This was back in 2010.

They also had to pick a one-second slice of a "thematically-related" music track to set each of the ~100ish readings to. That would take a fair amount of time during editing, no?
>>I couldn't care less what is the name of the country I am residing and whether it's gonna change if it won't really affect my day to day life.

Except that you are absolutely wrong about this. If Ukraine surrendered tomorrow and got annexed to be part of Russia, lives of everyone within that country would change dramatically.

Take this from someone whose country wasn't even on the map of the world for almost 100 years(thanks to Russia, among others), and in many places speaking our language was an actual crime, as was teaching our culture and history. Yes, the country and its people still survived even though the borders were wiped off the map, but if you are assuming that nothing would change in your life other than the group of politicians in power, you are absolutely and gravely wrong.

>>I mean if richer more advanced country is going to conquer my country I am certainly not going to fight it

I literally have no words. What if the richer and more advanced country then makes you a second class citizen with fewer rights than you had before? What if they say you can continue to live there, but only in a special camp set up for you? What if speaking your own language becomes illegal? Ask Palestinians how the "richer and more advanced" Israel is treating them exactly.

Why would you not fight an invader? Do you have zero sense of self preservation?
Publicly announcing that "they're considering it" is the first stage to actually implementing it.

And the moment that happens I think history books will use as the marker for a new era.
I think that the CIA carries a lot of value for sitting presidents. The organization gives them a lot of power, similar to the military but with less accountability. So far we haven't seen a president that was willing to give up that power for any reason of simple morality. There is something appealing about being able to send an organization out to kill, steal, and spy for you with zero accountability.

I don't think the CIA would need to or even be able to blackmail a sitting president. They are too busy being his second most powerful tool. Like a really good hunting dog. It doesn't matter if it bites some peasants so long as he does a good job for its master.

I'm guilty of the occasional are->'s contraction when speaking quickly, but I'd never just substitute are->is because that doesn't save a syllable.
History has shown though, that people do check all the unsafe blocks in some projects. I think that was Actix (web?) and probably others. So at least that part of the statement is already contradicted.

so cool to see your evolution from how the company looked doing the batch -> now! congrats on the launch folks, this looks great.
This is great. The other side of "how to use OpenGL" is "what is it doing in there?" and this looks like an excellent explanation of that.
These requirements sound very similar to something like LoRa, would be worth checking out stuff in that space too.

You could quite viably fetch the latest article from an RSS feed in this space, or reply to an email, even with minimal compression. The less technical the solution is the better.

I would definitely suggest to have some commands built in and have the ability to poll the current state of your service to ensure it's not being abused, etc. You also might need a human the other side to reboot it occasionally, so make it very simple to get back online.

I've worked around this issue by installing "Open Link With" (https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.tasomaniac.openwith.flos..., https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tasomaniac...) and setting it as the default browser. Unfortunately its mechanism for setting browsers as default on a per-domain level has issues (can't open Reddit images and threads in separate apps). And a few years back, this app got slower and randomly spends a few seconds preparing a list of browsers, though I never debugged why it started happening.

>I like tennis but I would not force you to subsidize its existence.

While we're at it why not extend that to all forms of user-pay and individual focused system?

* Why dont parents bear the full cost of their children?

* Why do we have publicly funded fire departments?

Etc.

As a society, for better or worse, we've decided we'd rather have a public good available to all than to make certain things only privately available.
Yes, that’s true but for the sake of the argument lets say it solves that problem. What do web3 and NFTs solve?
Assuming you mean a Merkle tree (a Markov chain is a statistical concept). A Merkle tree provides an efficient way to compute hashes (not signatures) of data. It provides neither properties that you claim for Markov chains.
I'm kind of hoping the reverse happens, and the front end devs at Digital Ocean get some lessons in responsive design and browser compatibility. I love the Digital Ocean product, but their dashboard is just full of quirks that give me the impression that the devs there just test things out in Chrome at one window size and then peace-out for happy hour.
Have you tried using these services? It can take anywhere from 5-60 minutes just to send a message. It's a reason they often go from 10-20 messages included in the monthly cost to unlimited for only a few bucks more. You're not going to be sending many. All sending and receiving happens through their proprietary application.

"How do I turn on my camera?" is an all too common email we receive."

This may be more a case of boomer mode, but I opt for everybody in software development to be put on customer/user email support for a while. It's very educational, humbling, and maddening.

You could have a giant flashing camera button permanently in the UI and you'd still get this question. People still can't find it or they can and then double-click it, shutting it down again. The amount of ways in which people can misunderstand even the simplest of interactions is a sight to behold.

This still pales compared to what for some websites/apps is 75% of their support requests: logging in. You think you've drawn out every process, sub process and exception, but people will find many new ways to screw this up.

One of the core UX lessons is that people don't read anything, so any instruction is in vain. They operate on vague patterns from other experiences, muscle memory and basically just click based on intuition, and if that wasn't what they wanted, they go back and try something else.
The likely possibilities are, they all agree it’s necessary for reasons we don’t understand so they condone it—or, the power of the executive branch is diffuse and doesn’t always emanate from the Oval Office. I.e., the so called deep state, career bureaucracy and momentum hold more sway.
While funding is decent, you'd also want to compare to expenses, as well as reserves. The 2020 report did show an overall gain, but this has to be contrasted against the depletion of reserves in the previous year, not to mention the overall trend.
I’m sure Putin is really afraid of the guy who can barely get a coherent sentence out. Trump reportedly wanted to exit NATO, which would have avoided this conflict altogether.
> That's already part of your game, right?

Nah, not for the usecase of moving items between games - one of the biggest features touted by NFT enthusiasts.

But that aside...

> get people to manage their own public/private keys

For a receipt, the individual users don't need keys. For proof of ownership, that ship has already sailed off into the sea of fraud and pyramid schemes, and we don't expect to see it again. When people are trying to sell NFTs of artwork to the original artist (aka blackmail), you know it's jumped all the sharks.

> They already exist if I manage that part with an NFT.

Most of this already exists in a system regardless. Adding a rest endpoint on the top of a database entry is usually pretty trivial - especially for something as basic as "retrieve and display this row in the DB" - and "already exists" in the form of libraries. And by using a blockchain as a database, I'm actually adding a lot of complexity to my system.

> Why not use existing, working infrastructure?

One, the existing and working infrastructure already exists. All the elements of a purchasing stream are implemented as libraries.

And it's not as if you can stop caring about how money flows, because there are laws that require you to do a lot of bookkeeping and pay taxes on that money (no matter the form the transaction initially took).

Why not use a blockchain as a distributed DB? Because it's slower and more expensive. Because it provides no functionality you don't already want or need to have locally, especially when we're discussing a game.

In other words, NFTs - from a company's point of view - provide the same benefits and detriments as a normal event-stream DB, but it's slower, more expensive, and it includes transactions from every other company using that blockchain.

> What the global shared database part solves is that either game can easily check, if this was something they wanted to do.

Why would the first party need to check an external database, when their game engines literally require them to implement it internally?

Why would a second party check the external database when there are licensing issues that require them to talk to the first party in the first place?

This is the kind of stuff that probably makes some people’s job down the pipe easier and at the same time undermines the Western civilization.

Make no mistake, no US citizen outside of the political class benefits from this or other atrocities. The exact same goes for the surveillance programs.

Losing the moral high ground degrades the whole society.

The whole anti establishment movement rallies around stuff like this. The lefties and the right-wingers will be after different things but they will be able to come together on the hypocritical stance and corruption of the current system. It unites enemies against you who think that the most important thing is to bring down the current horrible governance and figure out things later.
The MOS 6502 processor has only three 8-bit registers and only supports 8-bit integer arithmetic, so implementing one's own multiple precision floating point arithmetic is a major pain in the ass. If the C compiler doesn't provide the float and double data types, which are basic C datatypes, this means that a lot of modern software written in C cannot be compiled to 6502 machine code, and that one must write one's own arithmetic routines, at which point one is compelled to ask oneself: what's the benefit of the aforementioned C compiler when one would not be able to compile existing C software with it?

This writeup was immensely useful for me. Had all the information and pointers I needed to get started. My user space USB driver was significantly simpler, just control reports, but I don't know what I would have done if I hadn't found this article.
I remember the first time I realized I was no longer interested in “interesting” UI when I tried out Snapchat. Later I read a Gen Z user saying that the obtuseness of the interface was a plus. I wonder how much is a factor if biology and how much is a factor of having a million responsibilities like maintaining a home, working at a non-entry level in your job, etc., and just not having any interest in needlessly expending mental bandwidth on interacting with an app for yet another few precious moments of my increasingly limited time.
Very few authors have reasonable expectations when publishing. In the old days they just wouldn't find a publisher willing to publish their work, or only after many edits for quality. In today's world, publishing is so cheap that there are no standards anymore.

Sure, going to either an opera or the latest Marvel blockbuster is often a social event to some degree. But the idea that the entertainment itself is just background noise like a few musicians at a cocktail party is just bizarre.
Lower clock speeds but more cache. Also interesting that they stopped at the 8-core chips and aren’t adding the cache to the 12 and 16 core parts.

It looks like the extra cache die isn’t good for thermals, so maybe it’s not viable on the 12 and 16-core chips without sacrificing too much clock speed.

Looks to be a strictly gaming-focused CPU play. Not a bad move given the way the enthusiast market works, but it doesn’t do much for a lot of non-gaming workloads.
By the way (OP here), videos disappear from TikTok everyday for various reasons, and this tool monitors and labels all disappeared videos, as long as you have downloaded them first. My numbers show they typically disappear at a rate of ~3% per month (which is one major reason why I built this tool).

Yeah, I recently made a portfolio site for a friend. Very minimalist: https://christinelopez.ca

It's hand written. This was also an early web thing: no npm build pipeline. I feel a little bad not making the modal view fallback to image-is-a-link when JS is disabled (I also would've opted for no google fonts, but it ultimately isn't my site)

Meanwhile another friend built a similar site: https://kaeillustrates.art which may have more of that Gen-Z aesthetic (albeit we're millennials, so it doesn't go overboard) & is built on tailwind/react

Hopefully minimalist-as-fashion design will go away & minimalist sites can return to being small memory/dependency footprint

Which is why the secret service started to profile all the Muslims located in the US as potential threats.

The big question that security experts and social researcher ask is if such profiling do anything to actually reduce the number of terrorists attacks, and if it is cost effective compare to just regular investigative police work.

There is also a portion of the population that dislike profiling of religious/political views, and view profiling as a slippery slope towards authoritarianism.

Oh yeah, I just realized you completely left that stuff out. That's one of my favorite parts of vim and what I find lacking in 'vim mode' plugins. They get the hotkeys right, but they lack the abstractions of tabs/buffers/windows. What most editors call 'tabs' are windows in vim, and they lack the concept of a vim tab. I use them all the time when I'm doing refactoring work. Being able to organize 'views' in a way that makes sense, then switch between them rapidly is so awesome. You're refactoring some code across 3 files (all open in splits), then you want to look up some other part of the code base for reference. :tabe browse around, read whatever with 100% of the screen devoted to what you're trying to read, then gT and you're back on your old view with 3 buffers open. I have to constantly build up and then destroy these views in other editors. Or just accept that half my screen is cluttered up with irrelevant stuff.

Also the fact that everything in vim is a buffer inside a window means that everything is super consistent! You can switch focus between your plugin windows and your files with the same hotkeys! And unless the plugin writer intentionally changed stuff, the plugin buffer works just like a normal buffer, so all the hotkeys you learned before still apply. It's what I really miss in IntelliJ IDE's. I can see all the different panels, but I cannot switch focus to them without memorizing panel-specific hotkeys! I can see the bloody panel is left of my current focus, let me switch focus by just pressing ctrl+h instead of alt+shift+3.

Anyway, vim is very vast and trying to explain everything is a daunting task. I think you've made a good attempt :).
Teachers typically specialize in a single subject and tests are multi-disciplinary. The subjects can range from literature to chemistry to history to physics. As in, you have to be at the top of the pack for literature questions even if you're applying for engineering. And recall, these are no pushover questions; I've taken some of these elite school exams as well as the american SAT/SAT 2 and the SATs are child's play in comparison.

Also, competitiveness for some disciplines is seriously no joke: to give you an idea, medicine at Harvard has an admission rate of around 3.5%. Medicine at University of Sao Paulo, Brazil has an admission rate of 0.8%. Admission rates for IIT, India are even worse, at around 0.59%.

And if that isn't discouraging enough, many of these schools have reputations of being "hard to get in, harder to get out" (meaning that actually graduating is ever harder than getting accepted into the program in the first place)
In the case of Iraq and Afghanistan, the verifiable artifact was the destruction of the twin towers. The rest was accusation and conjecture, which was quite flimsy.

The current situation is quite different. There is plenty of verified evidence that Russia is attacking Ukraine. No reasonable voices are disputing the situation, and we have direct, primary, difficult to fake evidence confirming that this is what has happened.

I would say that this feels more like Kuwait than the so-called war on terror, having lived through all three (although I was quite young during Kuwait.
It absolutely is, especially by US standards.

As an anecdata, I'm a director of engineering and my base salary is ~205k CAD.

At my company (based in Toronto, Canada), we have budgeted between 130k-160k CAD base + bonuses for engineering roles (depending on the experience, position, etc). Yet I consider these salaries to be pretty subpar compared to our US counterparts.

Folks, demand a fair wage. When a house costs 1.3M , it's unreasonable to get paid peanuts.
I see how you can reach a generational correlation, but I believe it's a age issue that isn't unique to any generation.

The younger people want the pop and sparkles. The older people want what they're using to simply work because they value their time. The pop and sparkles are a distraction that doesn't add to the functionality.
Microsoft announces progress on a completely new type of qubit

> what is all this need for complicated editing features? Why does a text editor require programming capabilities? Why is there even a requirement to learn how to use a text editor? Isn't it enough to have the ability to enter text, use Backspace/Delete/Home/End/Arrow/etc, menu and toolbar, some shortcuts, a search and replace feature and so on? A simple and short answer — to reduce repetitive manual task.

For me, the entry way, what convinced me to try Vim, was the advantage of not needing to move the mouse. That back and forth movement - lifting my hand, grasping for the mouse, moving the cursor to where it needs to be, clicking and dragging to highlight text, ctrl-x, moving the cursor to where it needs to be, ctrl-v, repeated throughout the day just felt inefficient.

But what really makes it feel like a super power is the repetitive tasks thing. Convert hundreds of dates from dd.mm.yyyy to ISO 8601? No problem! Alphabetize those lines? Can do. Convert that Jira ticket title to a git branch name? It's done already.

But "repetitive tasks" would never have convinced me to try it. "Just use cut and paste", I would have countered.
I think we should go the other way and nationalize all major sports leagues and teams, because they really are an integral part of a community.
I'd add that design trends and taste are also regional.

Minimalism isn't appreciated in some Asian countries. Their print, ads and web pages use every single inch/pixel to saturate it with the maximum amount of content, be they text or visuals. It even translates to physical products, as an example a laundry machine with 500 buttons and lots of blinking lights.
I don't really understand DigitalOcean's market here.
They're obviously. not going after the main cloud players, but it seems strange that they're targeting consumers directly. They spent a lot of time/money crowdsourcing documentation for things that weren't cloud-specific, like patching wordpress, installing apache etc, and now CSS-Tricks.

Wouldn't consumers who'd benefit from these sorts of tutorials prefer a properly managed solution rather than an IaaS?
