Of course every project has its own genuine points of interest, I'm not denying that! But the commonality is clear enough.
The main case of deduplication that I know is hosting many virtual machines with the same OS. If that OS is Windows (explains why VM and not containers), there are dozens of GB of data that is duplicated per VM. It is not 'nobody', even if it is not common and not always worth.
> Every time a project like this goes down, I feel more like there should be some kind of Gitea server hosted on a hidden service where "illegal" projects like these can be developed.

While not a Gitea server per se (GitLab instead), git.rip used to be a well-known host for pirated content, leaked source code, and various other things. If I remember correctly, the amount of content on there was in the hundreds of terabytes, which would have made it very hard to externally archive (not even taking into account bandwidth restrictions).

When searching for a setting to make Firefox work like Chrome, I had found this a while back:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1223611

I basically did what was suggested there. (The 2-3 character length I suggested was just from my experience of avoiding collisions with other urls I might visit and was when I wanted to hit return when I started typing.)

Not sure if these settings matter or not. I just tried disabling a few and it doesn't seem to make a difference These are the only ones that seem relevant.

In about:preferences#search I have this enabled:

It gobbles up a huge fraction of search results from Google, even things that aren't really image related. Makes finding the original sources for reposted images extremely painful, infuriatingly difficult to avoid without adding -site:pinterest.* to the query, ...
Zoom is actually good lately too in my recent experience
Advice for anyone considering it:

* There are rough edges, but the basics are there: calling/SMS/4G/WiFi/audio/browsing/suspend.

* If you want to try it, put https://xnux.eu/p-boot-demo/ on an SD card and plug that into your PinePhone. That has a bunch of different distros and UIs on it.

* To keep up to date, follow https://www.pine64.org/blog/ and https://linmob.net/

I don't get this argument against proprietary software. People building software should be able to expect payment for their work and effort.

Food is required for a healthy society but would anyone here advocate for farmers to give away all of their produce for free?

Text-tiles are necessary for society but would you advocate that clothing be provided by the creators free of charge?

The only thing different about software is that little to no physical resources are required as a prerequisite to its production, but an individuals time and energy is.

A world in which no one was paid to write software would be a world with much worse offerings than what we currently have and would be a net loss for humanity.
Am I the only one that uses Linux, Windows, and MacOS daily? Why settle for just one OS environment? What a time to be alive.

I fail to see the value in all of these culture wars. It never ends. All of these systems work great for me. Thanks to all of hard work from all of the engineering teams and volunteers that put these systems together.

> The source code for Keybase is, right now, fully open source on their Github

Really? My understanding was that the client and some libraries they use are open source, but the actual server code is closed source. Although if Zoom isn't going to continue maintaining keybase, then open sourcing the server code seems like "the right thing to do" (at least morally, and probably from a PR standpoint as well). Even if they did want to continue maintaining it, it would be a good thing in my opinion, but moreso if the project will die otherwise.

See https://github.com/keybase/client/issues/24105

Its literally three words after the excerpted section, but I agree that Cube World is a more direct inspiration. Certainly Minecraft popularised combining voxel games with open worlds, but I think gameplay wise Cube World definitely belongs first on the list. After all, Minecraft didn't introduce the concept of voxel terrain though, infiniminer and worms 3d being earlier examples of games using it

It's kind of a fantasy but I like to think Rome never truly disappeared. (and I don't mean that necessarily in an good or nostalgic way) A lot of what happens in Brazil, the US etc today is as if lifted straight out of the late republic. What's going on in Ukraine too is also history repeating itself. The examples are countless. Many of us, especially on a western forum like this, in many ways are Romans.
Good luck with that. Tether is oddly resilient given its colourful history
I can't articulate why at the moment, but your second paragraph gives me the same feeling as I had when I first heard of the story about the Feynman interpretation of QM. When asked what the meaning of the spin tensors (or whatever) was and how much underlying reality there was behind the theory, Feynman replied, "shut up and calculate".

Actually, let me amend the previous statement. It's the Feynman interpretation of QM combined with the adage "there are exactly two mandatory activities in a life: taking your first breath and taking your last breath. Everything in between is optional"
what is the meaning of "node-based" here?
> Gomuks: Ever wanted to get Matrix protocol notifications on your Pinephone, without the sluggishness of an Electron UI? Now you can!

AFAIK: not without draining the battery you can't. You have to either disable the deep sleep mode ("CRUST") while the screen is blanked or leave the screen on, otherwise any Matrix client including gomuks won't run at all once you turn the screen off. (So no notifications for incoming messages.)

Maybe this isn't a problem if you're a very occasional Matrix user, and the battery drain even with everything running isn't too bad, but if you've been using it as long as I have and are in a lot of active rooms it's just not workable.
I'm going to assume that when you say "our medical system" you are referring to the US medical system.

And let me tell you, it's a WHOLE lot more bleak than that. The US medical system does not provide adequate services for ANYONE other than perhaps children (in some cases).

As soon as someone with a special need becomes an adult, nearly all public provided support is torn away. If you aren't 65, then when your child hits 26, they have no guarantee of being able to stay on your insurance. You might be able to make a deal with your employer and health insurance provider but that is by no means a given.

Now think of what that means in terms of estate planning.

It's possible for your child with special needs to qualify for social security and medicaid but their household income needs to be below poverty levels (with pretty crazy strict means testing). There's a reason so many people with mental disabilities often end up homeless.

The fact is, some individuals will need 24/7 care for the rest of their lives. However, because taxes and government are bad and "they should just pull themselves up by their bootstraps" or whatever, the US and many state government are setup to instead worry about keeping them off the benches when they end up homeless.

Yes, I have a child with autism, and yes one thing that keeps me up at night is worrying what will happen to them after I'm gone.

If you look at a changing map of the Eastern Roman Empire over time, like the Western Roman Empire, it "collapsed" well before it fell.

Many educated elites from Rome moved to Constantinople a century before Rome fell. ...and similarly, the most educated elites left Constantinople for northern Italy (and Russia!) before the Ottomans smashed down the walls over the preceding century.

Yeah, about Crimea... you do remember that Russia took that earlier, right? Why do you have a problem with NATO (or Ukraine without NATO) taking it back?

And, no, Ukraine was not joining NATO. If you have evidence otherwise, supply something more than "look it up".
My perspective on this is a bit different. I used to be a race director for ultra-marathons. I ended up having a serial cheater show up to a couple of my events, and end up winning.

The biggest scam was that I comped him a free entry for winning to come back, which happened twice. So that means the legit winner lost out on that, a token amount, maybe $150, but it still, 6+ years on, pisses me off that I was duped.

For me it was a huge "Why??" we were a small, regional race, didn't have any status as a qualifier or anything. By all accounts and the subsequent magazine article about the cheater revealed what in hindsight would be some serious mental health issues on his part.
Instead of using upvotes from sites such as Reddit and HN, why not instead allow the users of the search engine itself upvote and downvote results? This might allow quality results outside the scope of larger online communities to still be highly ranked, and also tailor the results to the audience of the search engine itself.
Do you know of a precedent?

I wouldn't want to be the one with my neck on the line in court over this.

Consider that .torrent files also don't have the content, yet torrent sites which serve them and provide tracking for torrent clients are having to play cat and mouse with copyright holders.
Thanks for your reply. It was helpful to hear someone on a similar journey. I am just reaching the point of take a stand for whats right, rather than what I have to get by with. No with Linux in much better shape, I can do it. From time to time I think about switching back but Im making most of what I do work.
The claim I'd make in favour of Dvorak is that it's much more comfortable than QWERTY, without an impactful drop in speed. (Though, after using Dvorak for long enough, it's about as fast as QWERTY for me).

I have a video on YouTube where I type using the Dvorak layout. One of the comments said "wow, it looks like your hand is doing nothing, but you're typing 90 wpm".

QWERTY is ubiquitous enough that I think all English-speaking computer users must know it; so I wouldn't recommend Dvorak instead-of QWERTY. (I'm typing on QWERTY now).
I hardly view "build a machine to understanding burning plasmas and steady-state tokamak operation" as a publicity stunt. These are hard machines to build in the best of conditions. The design of any power plant must be informed of results from machines like SPARC.
Guessing more like Breath of the Wild. Jump off something really tall and open something akin to a canopy that lets you fly unpowered over long distances.
Maybe there's a voting system or something for merging changes in?

Or maybe the immutable on-chain piece is just the contract with artists and there could be various players that are developed by proprietary groups (e.g. centrally hosted clients pointing at decentralized data, like how most daaps work). I guess then you still get into the bandcamp scenario where your favorite player gets bought, but data abuot you transactions would still be there... that would get us half way there.

I wonder if artists would agree to store music essentially for free in a public-ish place -- I think that would be a requirement of this architecture. In some ways they already do that with bandcamp (you can stream whatever for free, but not download files unless you buy), but this would be kind of a new level where you could technically download all the files. Something tells me it would still work for artists because I think the bandcamp audience is there largely because they want to buy the music directly.

A big part is engineering culture. At Google having multiple versions of a thing is an exceptional situation. But it's also acceptable (to an extent) to refactor other peoples' code and send them PRs. If you need to make a significant change, you do it in phases that allow you to maintain compatibility until you or someone else is able to migrate usages to the new ways.

> Passive investment less so

i argue the opposite - most people are not smart enough to know what investment is going to give the highest return. Passively invest means you let the market decide, and spend your time to improve your own worth and output.
You got hyper fixated on my use of the word _story_ and completely missed my actual point.

NYT bought "Wordle" from an indie dev for $1M+. The article complains about the fact they're protecting their newly-bought and very expensive IP. The orphan-crushing analogy is a strawman, because Josh Wardle wouldn't have been incentivized to protect the IP. The incentive to protect "Wordle" happened when $1M+ was exchanged and has nothing to do with NYT as a company. Any company or person would do the same.
Good job reporting on this. Now the question is whether the voters will care at the ballot box.

We shouldn’t go after the person who fell for the scam - they’re just doing their job the best they can. Or even the person who should have disclosed. We have to all the way up to an elected official that needs to be held accountable, whether they knew about it or not.
ROC is the original government of the whole of China (mainland plus Taiwan). PRC is the johnny-come-lately rebels. So I'd say that ROC is not only the elder, the PRC is the illegitimate half-brother.
I think a more apt comparison would be requiring farmers to make their farming techniques public, not giving away the food they farmed.
You seem to be under the impression that permissively licensed software is unable to be sold, nor developers financially compensated. This is not the case.

There are plenty of successful software companies whose offerings are not proprietary, yet manage to pay their developers well. Example products:

- Red Hat

- Docker

- Elastic Search

- Vagrant

With all of that said, Youtube operated at a loss for a long time, which is impossible for anyone but a government or a charity to sustain indefinitely.

I don't think "greed" makes sense as an insult directed at a for-profit corporation. It is by nature a machine to maximize shareholder value; it is nearly as amoral as its recommendation algorithm that tries to maximize watch time. Of course, letting machines run amok is dangerous and antitrust laws used to keep them in check, but not so much anymore.

Recalbox – Retrogaming Open Source OS for Raspberry Pi, Odroid and PC
I've started losing friends to marriage and children. We used to make time to visit each other at least once a year, but then they go and make finding love their #1 priority over their old friendships and disappear off this planet.

It's not impossible to schedule a visit one-on-one, but getting the whole group together for a weekend to pretend we're all still in college just doesn't happen. The peripheral friendships in that college dynamic were what made it truly special instead of merely having a collection of 5 close friends. It was those 5 close friends plus two dozen friendly hangers-on.
So you need to fund either individual developers or a 3rd party like Igalia to develop the features you want, including the work to ensure it will end up in the upstream repo and not in a fork.

That's Cube World. This game looks a lot like Cube World. And not just in the way that Cube World looked like Minecraft in that it was blocks and procedural (which is mostly where Cube World and Minecraft intersected, cw has no block building in the game).

Looking at this game and knowing a little of the saga of Cube World I'd bet Veloren is an Open Source response to Cube World making an appearance, exciting a lot of people with potential, going silent for years, then eventually releasing something less fun than the initial preview and dropping into obscurity. It looks at a glance like this began development during the aforementioned silent period.

Two things I forgot to mention.

If you want to see what the curriculum of a "Math for ML" from a top research uni looks like, you should check out the website of Math for ML course offered by Universitat Tubingen [0]. If you know those, you will be able to read the math of most papers that you will come across.

Secondly, the best way to get started with ML is to do the Andrew Ng classic on Coursera. Then move on to FastAI [1]. Fastai is a fantastic learning resource and you will learn many nice things from Jeremy Howard that will help you make your own models. But do NOT limit yourself with fastai. It's a crappy software- too many limitation, syn sugars, API anti patterns, etc.

Learn PyTorch for full-fledged projects.

Guessing here, but perhaps the computational complexity for rendering voxel assets is much more bounded, e.g. you can't make something with a super dense vertex count and complex shaders and other transforms and bog the game engine down.
