Repurposed and simplified a years-old prototype into a daily puzzle.

Sharing (bragging?) coming up soon.

It works on mobile but is more playable on desktop.

There’s only one solution.

Don’t think it’s viral-worthy but thought it’s worth sharing.
OMG - another one for the annals of ridiculous feminist claims:

"The free nature of open source also leads to inequity. Open source is dominated by men, and people who don't have as much leisure time or stability might be less likely to contribute to open source when there's no compensation involved."

So an article lamenting the horrible lives of FOSS open source developers who work for almost nothing then turns around and blames the same OS developers for driving women out of tech by working for free.

Never mind that women tend to be paid by their husbands, so they would have lots of spare time for FOSS development.
> And then we learned secondhand that most of these non-profits were run by narcissists leaders with worse office politics than regular offices.

I've worked for a tech-focused nonprofit for the last decade, and know people who have worked for other tech nonprofits. My experience (direct and secondhand) does not match what you said here. There are lots of good mission-focused tech companies to work for (both non- and for-profit). If, as a sibling comment suggested, you want to bring clean drinking water to the world, I know people who have worked at charity: water and enjoyed it.

It's true the pay will usually be below market rate for software engineers. It still can be much higher than most people in US[0] will ever make, and not an obstacle to living comfortably (by any definition of "comfortable" I consider reasonable). It's possible it could make it more difficult to buy a nice house in a central location in one of the more expensive cities, but that's true for most people and needs systemic changes to address it.

0: I assume we're talking about the US, since that's where the really high tech salaries are (and it's the place I live and have experience)
Even Western Washington has sunny skies for much of the year. Do solar panels really require full sun to work? I see a lot of solar panels on homes in Seattle.
The best info we have is that it was a bio lab release, just an unusual transmission from wild bats to humans in a wild animal market. And really, for all the authoritarian power they seem to have, sanitation standards are shockingly low, and with their density, these kinds of things will keep happening until they basically go with Japanese level cleanliness standards.

Given its situation, china really had no choice but to go with a zero COVID policy. If they tried to handle it like the Americans did, 10s of millions of people would have died, if not more (because their density is higher with lower hygiene standards, not a good combination).
> due to their advances in weapons

Not quite, the weapons the west had "developed" were developed far earlier in the middle east and east Asia. Trebuchets, cannons, guns, gunpowder, crossbows, etc.. The west just adopted them.

> and their brutal tactics, which many indigenous people decried as "too furious".

The colonial tactics were brutal but I doubt they were more brutal than what the indigenous people did. The Mayans and the Incas ritually sacrificed their enemies in public, genocided enemy tribes, and other pretty brutal behaviour. The colonial forces just had more powerful weapons.
IPFS doesn't really use a blockchain. It's more like bittorrent which predates the bitcoin blockchain.
I think it is more “it is impossible to build a business around free streaming that can compete with YouTube”

It doesn’t matter how good the product is, the space is just not profitable.
Let's not kid ourselves that this requires a full-time position. I bet you can hire some agency to do this for you for a few hundred bucks.
I have not assumed the high desert of Oregon is cloudy, but have you checked the sun rise and sun set times in WA and OR in winters. It is brutal!
I was trying to hack/reverse engineer some IoT API calls, and I really wish there was some middle ground between "Don't trust any network, encrypt everything end to end" and "I can MitM anything I want". Everything on my network is a (sometimes literally) black box sending and receiving who knows what. As a network operator, I should be able to MitM everything on my network. But I don't want people to MitM me when I'm on a public network, so I'm at a loss on how to fix this.
Fair point, I remember wanting multiple Yubikeys and no other 2FA and that was hard to find.
Now me, and part of my former team, are building and operating circular food production systems. I got fed up with building data systems to just make more money. I needed to work on something that made a positive impact in the world.

The previous change also moved in that direction, but it was still in software, but then we started a foundation and built data systems that supports countries that receive development aid, and those organisations that supported them.

The work is super rewarding. But more work than either of the previous half a dozen startups.
Why? They are the ones that end up paying the most.

> The US taking on the much of the cost of rebuilding Western Europe

That's not what happened. This is what I am talking about when saying that Americans have a majority inflated view of the Marshall Plan.

The important part was reduction of debt between all the countries, the direct payments of the Marshall plan were a little sweeter to make that more palatable.

It nowhere close amounts to the 'cost or rebuilding Western Europe'.

And if you look at where Marshall Plan money was actually spent, it doesn't actually line up well with where the majority of growth happened in the next 10 years.
But that's CloudFront, one of the most expensive CDNs out there. (And that's before considering customers like Vimeo can get special rates, even 50% off is common)

Another example on the opposite end is a host like Hetzner, where you get 20TB of traffic at 10Gb/s uplink for any cloud VM at $5+/month (or any root server at $40+/month). Comparably, AWS EC2 is $0.17/GB IIRC.

On another note -- it looks like Vimeo are using Akamai.
confidently incorrect
I'm not questioning the tool, but this use of it.
and, as has been demonstrated countless times, LEO will simply lie about the circumstances.
Just to compare to Cloudflare Stream which I consider a honest paid platform:

Streaming is $1 per 1000 minutes delivered

Storage is $5 per 1000 minutes store per month.

117 videos with 2 hours each and with 150 views each:

117 * 2 * 60 = 14040 minutes stored or $14/month for storage which is $168/year.

117 * 2 * 60 * 150 = 2106000 minutes delivered or $2106.

So $3500/year does not seem outrageous.
here I quote from wikipedia

>>A hash chain is similar to a blockchain, as they both utilize a cryptographic hash function for creating a link between two nodes. However, a blockchain (as used by Bitcoin and related systems) is generally intended to support distributed consensus around a public ledger (data), and incorporates a set of rules for encapsulation of data and associated data permissions.

So a Blockchain is only a configuration of a hashchain. So we have to make clear that blockchain is only a fancy name and nothing realy special. There are a shitload of different setups of hashchains and they mostly have no fancy name, as far as I know. Everyone with the skill can make whatever with hashchains and call it whatever.. Trianglechain.... NextgenQuantumsuperchain...ChainChain... whatever...
So if the basic question is, do hashchains have real use cases? Most certainly. But I am to lazy to google.

Or does the configuration of a hashchain called blockhcain does have a real use. Atm Crypto but as far as I know some banks and supply chains and IBM tried to find problems for blockchains, but failed. Even if highly controverse, the german goverment wants to put things like the passport, diplomas and drivers licence on the blockchain. I think somehow IBM is involved. But is more or less that they want to try to sell that shit. But its not p2p whatever, only a Databank that is a blockchain.. at the end it will be a better database. Maybe a hashchain. Btw it did allready fail for the vaccines passport. They wanted to but that into 5 blockchains. At the end it was a central database, maybe a merkle tree or similar.

House them where though? CA is short housing, that's one of our worst problems. And local homeless people have already put up tents and parked RVs everywhere.

Could we have avoided this problem by building housing while labor could still afford it? Sure. But we didn't, and now we reap what we sow.
Considering the practices of Youtube, Vimeo, and the like, I don't understand why bittorrent feeds aren't used more often.
I also use Vimeo as a B2B solution and the “indie YouTube” side really frustrates me. Every time I search my own videos to find something, Vimeo defaults to scouring all its public videos and throwing up all kinds of twee college projects and thumbnails with laurel wreaths from film festivals.

Now Vimeo is grown up I wonder if it’s time it decided what it’s going to be.
Possible, but that affected both sexes about equally, so using it as some kind of indicator of sexism is very dishonest.
but some countries, like the US, don’t have a national ID system

This is.. not quite true. Social security numbers are used this way (even if they aren't intended to be such a thing) and passports are essentially a national ID system. My passport is the only valid ID that I have - of course, I live outside the US and have to have the nearest US embassy renew it. (I don't qualify for Norwegian IDs yet, and my immigration card is a supplement to my passport instead of actual ID)
Yeah, that’s fair, although FSD also goes for $12k right now and you can get the Comma 3 + required car harness for like $2400, so if it’s providing me at least 20% the value of FSD then I’m happy. I’d say it probably gives ~70% of the value of FSD, and without phantom braking. Not hating on the progress Tesla is making with FSD, but I think it is overpriced for now.

Also, openpilot has gotten much better over the past year, you might be surprised if you get the chance to try it again. They’re not even using the whole field of view of the new wide angle camera in the model currently, although it’s coming in openpilot 0.8.14. Their rate of improvement now that they’re developing for the Comma 3 is really impressive.
Not really. It has three different causes:

1) Excessive lending and consequent increases in the money supply by commercial banks.
2) Governments printing money without any regulatory compensation to prevent 1
3) Shortages in goods and supplied measured by the CPI, such as food.

Right now we have 2 and 3, and some countries will probably have 1 as well..

I didn’t think it was a critique at all. It was basically just saying well I have issues with how he describes the conquest. It didn’t happen like that, here are some nitpicks about how he’s describing it and now I’ll throw in some unrelated metaphor of a kid in a science class to say that disagreeing with someone’s specific takes on events that are fundamentally unknowable and hundreds of years old is the same as a little kid saying yellow is green.

The problem is that any moron can see the main observation that set off the discussion. There’s not an equal distribution of wealth and power across cultures at all.

I read guns germs and steel and it’s interesting and I didn’t remember it as being polemical or sure of its conclusions. My memory if it was basically a recounting of history that said this is all complicated and cause and effect is pretty murky but here is a grab bag of some broad ideas that could comprise a thesis for why things look the way they do.

I would expect any reasonable critique to either say actually no I think these reasons are overstated and these other ones are more important. Or they could say look human history isn’t deterministic the best way to think about this is mostly a series of butterfly effects. Or as complexity theorists would say, it’s just path dependence, aka a stochastic walk with absorbing barriers.

Those seem like reasonable alternate points of view. The critique I’m talking about here though is just like “nah didn’t happen” when confronted with a plainly observable chronology of global power and cultural expansion.
within my first week of working for the city of new york one of the police detectives assigned to my agency gave me one of these cards with the disclaimer of "don't pull it out if you are committing a felony, it won't work" but lesser offenses seemed fair game (never had to use it).

Cloudfront is an example for "premium B2B service", which apparently Vimeo wants to be too. So they clearly have cheaper underlying prices, and then have costs for non-bandwidth and and want to make money on top. Same way that AWS is not for everybody that means that clearly Vimeo is not for everybody who is not willing to pay premium, but for the market, it's not totally out of order.

Feels like Vimeo missed an opportunity to be the home of creatives.

They had the right brand perception for it, and were there early.

A video producer friend persevered hard to continue using it from 2012 to 2019, but out of chronic frustration with its product design, sadly moved to youtube.

I got the sense of a general stubborn "we know what's right for you, you don't" attitude in their product design. And it seemed to satisfy no significant public well.

Great to see them be more clear, wish them the best.
Thank you for the correction, I should have used softer language. My sample size is small but my edit link is gone. To clarify my meaning, I don't mean to contradict process being core to the field but rather that process is within what I consider a more broad scope for the theory of information. While we could talk about the process involved in proving the equivalence of an automata to a language it feels like a stretch to call the fact of their equivalence a part of the study of process itself.

If you're game, I'm curious what seems weird about the semantics?

Not just the map but the terms written on it. :D
1) For Google to "complain" about the law and then still enforce it is just a toothless objection, virtue signaling. At least in the case of the LumenDatabase.org notice, their complaint actually serves a valid purpose of subverting the law (by allowing the user to see the offending domains.)

2) Google is a US corporation. If it is unhappy with US laws, it could be considered perhaps reasonable or even responsible for it to voice its concerns as a "corporate person" while it continues to fulfill its legal obligations. But it's a guest in Australia. If it doesn't want to obey the laws enacted by the people of Australia in Australia, it doesn't have to. After exhausting any judicial remedies, it can simply choose to leave Australia voluntarily. But to continue to reap Australian dollars while being demonstratively surly about it, could come across as disrespectful to the people of Australia. It would be as if someone came as a "plus one" to an exclusive party at your house, and then vocally complained the entire time that they were "forced" to remove their shoes.
I read the whole thing and although there was a lot of interesting information there, I don't get what the author was trying to say (other than, "Hey look at all this information.")

To me it seems clear that the word "science" and the outer trappings and forms of using the Scientific Method have become co-opted, largely in the last century or so, to cover a lot of things that just can't be considered "true science". This is not a "No True Scotsman" instance, because there is a clear and incontrovertible guideline for what (I think) counts as "true" science: the ability to make accurate predictions. That, and that alone, is what truly distinguishes science (as I am using the term here, in a restricted sense) from all the other what-could-be-called "predictive arts": e.g. astrology, tarot & divination, numerology, etc.

Obviously, physics counts as "true" science. The standard model makes predictions accurate to within a mind-bending tolerance, the width of a human hair over the distance from New York to Los Angeles. Chemistry is science, biochemistry and molecular biology are still science. Biology and ecology are pretty scientific. From there, things get much worse pretty quickly.

By the standard of "ability to make accurate predictions" there are a lot of things we call "science" today that I just don't think deserve the title, most importantly: economics, sociology, and psychology. They can't make predictions, and in many cases they can't even replicate their "findings" from previous "research"!

I think those "sciences" serve a social function, the same one that the court astrologers et. al. used to serve, they give a glamour of legitimacy to the king and a way to deflect responsibility onto councilors of the imaginary, who supply ready-made scapegoats.

I'm not saying "the humanities are not useful" or anything like that, what I'm saying is that people mix up the orders of knowledge (deliberately or otherwise) as part of politics, and that some things that we call "science" today, aren't. I mean, E=mc2 doesn't have to "defend itself" politically. Anyone anywhere can test it for themselves (that's the whole point, innit!?)
The solution is to pay people only in return for what they deliver, on time.

This would mean letting projects and companies utterly fail when they fail to deliver, but this is considered impossible in the current climate.

Interesting that you redefine their legend to mean what you want it to mean. Solar is economical and effective in most of Europe, which does not have the same solar potential as the US, because the US is generally further south.
I wonder how it compares to other cities: Melbourne, Tokyo, Paris, London, Munich, Boston, San Francisco, etc.

Then, I think we can pin-point exaggerations from objective truth. I admit, when I visited NY, it was very nice but we went around central park and such.

I just dislike this law, this is a great way to make NY city worse - pitting citizens against each other. There are other ways to solve this issue through proper law enforcement channels.

I think most of us know that clicking "I am 18+" is a joke, governments will eventually look into this and not because politicians want to make it harder for them to access this pages but because activists and religious groups will put pressure on them (I seen with my own eyes religious people exiting from a party because the leadership allowed gays to have a parade in the city, and if in your region/country there are many religious people like this the politicians will try to get their votes) , so the tech sector needs to find a solution for this that is privacy friendly. At this moment I can use my bank and PayPal from Linux so there is no technical reason that prevents open source software to implement it.
Interesting. There's one Patreon I subscribe to that used Vimeo. I didn't realize it was what Patreon apparently exclusively used? This sounds like a BIG problem for Patreon, then.

This may be a much bigger issue than I thought...
> greatly improve the development efficiency of your team?

Embrace using open source not reinventing the wheel, hopefully you are already standing on the shoulders of giants

Practise extreme programming. Test driven. Pairing. Trunk based development. Stop using PRs... that's a controversial one - pair instead

Continuously integrate and deploy.

Now optimise that loop. How long does it take a pair to get a commit on mainline. How long does it take for that commit to be live. If the commit had a bug how long does it take to revert and have the fix go live.

Write tests first. TDD. Otherwise all of the above is for nothing and you'll have very quickly developed a big pile of something that doesn't do what you want it to do
Exactly this.

It's very hard to do with Go; also see Hugo, where Go is in many ways "holding it back" compared to something like Jekyll, which you can customize and hack with great ease.

I love Go, but this kind of things is not where it shines.
