We have a 1,000 year old band camp actually, written music. It has a higher barrier to entry, is a rather lossy way to encode things, and took generations of copyists to perpetuate but a nonzero amount of the content stuck around as well as the skills to read, write, and perform it.

I mean don't assume that something is better because you didn't try to make it happen. And I mean that we really need to work to have deep friendships.

I find that odd.

EDIT: I thought about it a little more, and I guess I can see where throwing around a bunch of negative, made-up words ending in "-ist" sounds culty.

That's interesting to hear about the inbox for quickly capturing thoughts, including brain vomit.

Over the past few years I've used a similar convention, first called Journal, then Stream, then finally Archive. Everything goes in there, added to the bottom of the file: snippets, ideas, links, both personal and work-related stuff. I have a shell alias to append one-liners from the terminal, which I use throughout the day (and night). I review it regularly to move the important parts, especially plans and actions:

- Archive

- Do

- Doing

- Done

I like that the folders sort alphabetically, and also in the order of how things flow.
That would make it even stranger given some of the dubious material in those anime. Gate is basically A JSDF ad, but still has a loli vampire in it..

It becomes fair use because the ip owner did not enforce copyrights before.
> If some meetings are created in some US tz, some other meetings in some EU timezones, then when the biyearly DSTgeddon week(s) come, you not only have meetings shifting unexpectedly but you also have conflicts since some meetings changed and others didn't!

But this is a problem in the real world, not a software problem. Choosing to use UTC when that's not how the business actually thinks about schedules will lead to you just doing your own DST math, which is harder than just storing the correct time zones from the get go.

It's so nice that you can replace the mainboard as a regular user, if it's broken... or even fix it yourself, since the level of integration is not terribly dense and there's no epoxy/glue anywhere, and the shielding is not soldered to the board.
That's not how copyright, or specifically copyright fair use, works.
Is there a way to transform all those split packages into a single, simple to install .apk? (with a preselected architecture, and english lang)

If Vanced will keep working as-is for maybe a year or two, that's at least nice, I just would like to keep a copy of the latest version for reinstalling when my tablet is formatted in the next days...

[1] Considering hiring an engineer or two that you respect, starting with small tightly-scoped projects. I did this when I was solo consulting. It helped me learn new things and identify better approaches. It was enjoyable overall. My projects were better off as a result.

I had a couple of duds in the process, and starting with small, compact projects allowed me to cut those losses early.

[2] Another approach is to find someone in a similar situation to talk shop on a regular basis. Meet for coffee or online for an hour once a week, or however the timing works out. Talk about what you're both working on. Walk through some code, and do code reviews for each other.

[3] User groups and meetups can also you find these sorts of conversations.

Personally, I think it's best to have these engagements centered around your own project/product rather than just being technology-adjacent. Even better when you're putting your own money/product on the line. it gives you a gut-check on how valuable these these conversations are, which are worthwhile, and which areas have the most potential.

The people you meet in the second and third approaches can help identify who to work with in the first.

Updates needed?

from the comments:

Maintainer> I don’t recommend it [updates] any more. This OS is for listening music. Not for everything else. And updating Arch Linux in my opinion is for experts only. Sorry I didn’t answer it in my previous post, system update will not overwrite my kernel version so you should be fine (with the kernel). But for the rest, I’m not 100% sure any more. Because I added some other tweaks in this OS that might break after update. For example default mpd server runs differently in a way it doesn’t run with RT privileges, so you will get not so good sound. I predicted that people will update mpd and system and I implemented something that will not change mpd when you update it. But I cannot be 100% sure any more. Arch and packages are changing every day. People explore the configs and acidentlly they break stuff. Even I sometimes break it :-).

If it's not broke there's no reason to foolishly try and fix it with an unrelated update.
So one (user-hostile) company having a complete monopoly on the web is less of a threat than two companies having a duopoly?
Jax might be faster than Pytorch, I don’t know. I’m talking about TF. When I switched from TF to Pytorch 3 years ago, I got no slowdown on any of computer vision models at the time. And I remember looking at a couple of independent benchmarks which also showed them to be roughly the same in speed.
With Biden threatening, China may be tempted to do exactly the opposite of what Biden wants. Or maybe that's exactly what Biden wants because the alternative is to think Joe Biden is too stupid to be President.
This probe isn’t solar-powered, it’s laser-powered (because solar energy/area goes down too fast at larger distances. Creating and aiming the lasers for this is a technical challenge in itself)

So, it could do a round-trip only if you had a similar laser set up at the destination. If you can do that, why build this tiny spacecraft?

The problem with a honey trap like that is that the uninteresting events are uninteresting (as you suggest, installing a mail relay, miner, or both, and likely a copy of itself for further spreading), but the interesting ones are unlikely to be fooled unless the honeypot is very clever.

To see anything really interesting you possibly need to let it get far enough that with a good zero-day intend in-hand it may be able to break out and affect the host. I don't know about you, but I don't trust myself to be that clever!

I think I've used flyweight in exactly one production system, and it was a trading system. Lots of transactions (easily tens or hundred of millions in a given day in a single process), lots of duplicated instrument data. Perfect use case for flyweight. But, yeah. It's a fairly rare use case. Good to know about, but not necessarily one you need to keep fresh in mind, ready for use.
The external keyboard probably makes it tolerable, but yeah, it's likely hard to deal with. I'd love to see how it works in practice, and how long the author keeps it up.
Yes! Smart phones and notebooks should never have been allowed to go fixed internal battery. I hope they are included with this, or right next.
Would not recommend using this on real batteries, but if you end up finding fake ones - spraying compressed air upside down (so it comes out as a liquid) and coating an object in it will make it very bitter, as compressed air commonly has bitterant in it to prevent huffing it. I used it myself to prevent myself from biting my nails.
Since you seem to be an expert on this kind of stuff, does the far left read the far right ever? If so, which authors?
My benchmark for this being wrong is that military briefings don't do this if they don't have to.

The gold standard for a military briefing is that it includes a high level overview of the global, regional and local situation before getting into specific orders and this was adopted because small unit doctrine depends on unit commanders having enough context to make informed independent actions in lieu of direct chains of command being available.

Everytime I've watched a ticket languish in any organisation, it's always because people don't feel a need to give context. They think they understand what they're asking for, it doesn't match reality and then the back and forth culminating in a bunch of calls and finally someone explaining the goal happens.
I round down my years of commercial coding to 25. And I still enjoy it. I am now in a position to select projects based on interest in the problem, but I also value my time so there is no compromise on my fee. Code is a language and as such it's means to communicate. Its just that you communicate with a machine. And if you get an agreeable reply, you communicated well. Same applies to natural languages just without the predictability.

Clearly, but then owners change, and different owners have different priorities.
Not necessarily. I am looking for ideas on legal methods to pay contractors in Russia that are not impacted by the sanctions. That doesn't mean I am for or against the sanctions. Just looking for legal alternatives. It is still legal to make payments, just more difficult.
The difference is in the bait and switch tactic they employ. They started by offering the service for free and without ads till there were no good competitors. And then they switched to showing obscene amount of ads. Most users and a good bunch of creators are unhappy about the way they ruin the viewing experience. If YouTube declared their true intentions at the beginning, we wouldn't be yearning for competent alternatives today. Greed is definitely the word.
The article does have hyperlinks, though, pointing to, for example https://blog.seas.upenn.edu/how-to-design-a-sail-that-wont-t... or https://breakthroughinitiatives.org/initiative/3. The latter has a nice (and long) list of challenges to be solved.
It's not just ad blocking. There is a black theme which makes the background black instead of dark gray which is nice on an OLED phone. It also has the same brightness / volume controls as new pipe where you can just slide your finger on the video to change the volume instead of having to use the volume rocker. YouTube already gets money from me from taking 30% from all my superchat / membership payments.
I hadn't heard this. I assume in this context, "give up" = disclose?
Is it necessary to actually live in Russia, though? If I ever managed a project like Vanced, or any other initiative that might trip a big company such as Google, I would definitely seek hosting on a country like Russia or similar, even though I am not there. That, and trying to run everything anonymously, not with my Github username.

I'm curious, where exactly are the Cease and Desist letters delivered, when they get sent? To whatever contact email appears in the project's website, if any?
You just install the vanced apk like any other apk. The manager app isn't really needed and since there will be no more updates it would be kind of useless.
Appeal to authority is a logical fallacy simply because it observes that in a formal logical sense, the credentials of somebody making a claim are irrelevant.

But formal logic assumes absolute and understandable truth or falsehood of facts among all parties. In terms of data analysis and interpretation, especially when both involve parties that lack the skills or training to do these things, trusting authority is likelier to generate positive outcomes than trusting one's gut or one's untrained analysis in most circumstances.

If you’re massively dominated by overhead I can see it. I’ve definitely done microbenchmarks before where compilation gets you 1000x improvement.
Exactly. And it’s what we used to use.
Just give me a dockercompose.yml. That’s all I need.

A positive example for this is mailcow [1]: all you need to do is pulling the repo, editing the mailcow.conf and running “docker compose up”. Logging is preconfigured, and the watchdog just works.

It’s dead simple and provides secure defaults. It’s ready for production in very little time. That’s what I would love to see from more projects.

I hope supabase will follow this at some point. I really like the idea of a self hosted firebase. But right now there is too much to take care of for a single person to actually take a self hosted supabase into prod (be it for side projects or whatever).

I, for one, have yet to see this proven. I have seen public guidance and the best practices modified as we came to understand more about the disease and its impact on the public.
I believe that's true. My feeling is that Putin will not stop if he doesn't get an exit from this war, even though he probaby regrets his decision by now. He miscalculated badly, it was too late for a "special operation", Ukrainians were already armed by US and NATO and more arms are pouring in the country every day. Russian forces are now openly shooting appartment buildings, churches, hospitals and things will get even uglier as he gets more desperate. The Ukrainians are better equipped and have much more resolve so I don't see an end to this conflict. Do you think that Ukrainians will be able to find a compromise before it's too late?
PS. i'm not saying that we should give in to a terrorist that holds the world hostage with his nukes, what i'm saying is that I see the end of civilisation and no way that we can avoid it.
It does not have to cost more, if it results in greater commonality between different generations of a device and allows backporting without significant overhead.
The thing is there are so many attackers/rookies out there. I wouldn't call them hacker as they are most likely noob running scripts to scan the network. Just seconds after I exposed my server's SSH port, there were failed login attempts. I wasn't worried about someone breaking in as I've harden my server with all the patches, no password login allowed and the private key was on a YubiKey which I don't have it myself. So unless there was a 0-day I haven't patched, it's very unlikely someone else can actually gain access to it. From the logs I could see lots of failed logins using various user names/passwords most likely using a dictionary. Those nonsense soon flooded my logs and I eventually had to change the SSH port as I could not stand that any longer.

As you mentioned, simply ban couldn't help less. But anyway, their servers, their choices. I've no comment on that.
What is the reason for the cease and desist? Code license or use of content? If it's the latter, then NewPipe won't survive either. We really need an alternative to YouTube, not another frontend to this exploitative platform.
Breaking Vanced would also break YouTube (read: be unable to show ads) for people whose YouTube app is outdated.
Not "just because." Pronouns are still effectively declined.
Are there specific Chrome keyboard shortcuts you're missing in Firefox? Firefox has some aliases for Chrome and Safari keyboard shortcuts. Adding a new alias is pretty uncontroversial if it doesn't conflict with an existing Firefox keyboard shortcut.

The quality of investigation here is so piss poor. Scalping is a rich man’s game. Highly capital intensive. Margins are good 10-30% depending on product and tax but turn around time is still weeks or months so not good if you have no money.

Valid statement. Especially considering the multiple $5 subscriptions that a lot of Twitch consumers shell out at those they watch, $10/mo to support _everyone_ you watch on YT plus getting the no ads and YTM isn’t really that bigga deal..
At least for videos I use google spread sheet script to manage a bunch subscriptions into different private playlists accessible via sharelinks in Newpipe with psonsorblock. Allows me to keep things in sync with youtube account on other devices.

Any specific reason you came to that conclusion when working with monorepos?
He's impressed by power, and believes that displays of impressive power differentials grant legitimacy to leadership ex post facto.

So, he's got to keep ramping up the power moves, by the nature of his own rule system. Those moves took him from Chechnya to Georgia to Eastern Ukraine and now the perception fed to him (captured intel) was that he could finally submit all of Ukraine in 3 days. The FSB leader who fed him that information, Beseda, is now in deep trouble and under arrest.

A huge problem for him is that you should perceive the opponent's power before planning your moves. There's a lot that goes into the perception of power. It's an art form by itself. FSB have (according to leaks) direct access to these arts. They have models, disciplines, etc. But according to them they are forbidden in their use by politics. Putin's internal power system blocks this work.

So this was a huge setup for the issues we see now--Putin doesn't really understand the value of intelligence as "new things that must be constantly perceived, ordered, presented, and understood"; he understands power at a superficial level of "effects yielded by moves," like in Judo, chess, etc. For this reason he has to start the game in order to learn it, again and again. He can't predict very well by nature of his psychology and the system he has created around him.

He's allowed himself to be perceptually blinded, while being a strong tactician.

Therefore you get these moves that make people ask..."why?" Because he sees a different situation due to his broken perceptual system.

Still, he does understand the game once it's gone wrong and the sides have had their first moves. He learns from losses, that's a huge lesson from the arts he has studied himself. So now he's got a chance to show off his next-phase tactics.

The best way for his opponents to take advantage of his newly-alerted status would be to open a united front with pseudo-random tactics (you can't play his game, or any known game--you must invent multiple new games that are foreign to him) combined with a hyper-tactical, hyper-executive mindset. Frequent direct and somewhat strange requests must be made of him. This will overpower his personal perceptive system on an ongoing basis so that his own tactics seem nonsensical to even him. He'll become exhausted and withdraw.

Unfortunately Europe and the west struggle with this style of thinking, so the situation will be awkward for some time longer IMO. In the meantime it is a phenomenal opportunity to make new and lasting HUMINT contacts in any country east of Poland.

I draw the line before sponserblock. At that point you are taking money directly from the content creators, not YT or other platforms.

I held out on blocking ads for some time, until it became impractical to avoid drive-by attacks other ways and the amount of stalking involved got _really_ creepy.

If sponsor segments irritate me enough that I'd consider sponsorblock then I choose between paying for the content directly (if a sponsor-free version is available that way) or just not consuming it (at least not from that source).
Boost doesn't even have a stable API commitment, let alone a stable ABI. Every release may require involvement from users to keep up to date.
