Sounds like it’d be a personal thing, but I’m sure it would he discovered by people and maybe utilized. I thought of doing a wiki like wikipedia, but making it not propaganda. Figured it’d help people but really I think it kinda was just gonna end up being a hobby of mine. If it interests you enough to make one, why not do it? It’s not gonna disappear and it’ll always be there for you or anyone that finds it. Knowledge is knowledge and I love finding smaller sites with helpful information. Really, I think it’ll be both for you. It’ll add value to whoever finds it, and it’ll be a hobby for you. But don’t do something like that if you aren’t motivated enough to would be my best advice.
Wondering what problems you're currently facing. The reason is, I've seen the pitfall of changing between project management software with no gain, for no reason other than to try something new, and perhaps negative gain, so many times.
The repo owners name is on GitHub. I wonder if they could face criminal charges for distributing this malware.
Mozilla seems more interested in telemetry than actually making a browser.
I have observed this as well, and not just with Mozilla.

It is so easy to just ignore feedback because it's difficult to parse, just set up some automated telemetry and focus on nothing but that. Removing the human element here is a big optimization in the cycle of receiving feedback, and it's also critically damaging to the effectiveness of decisions made based on that feedback cycle...

I don't know how to claw back a company like Mozilla that has strayed this far. Perhaps the political culls they had are responsible for the breakdown in decision making competence. Perhaps they've just gotten too big. Either way they aren't serving the original market of firefox, and if they continue straying this way the only option is a unified effort by the community to create a true competitor, likely starting as a fork. Maybe one of the forks that exist now can launch themselves successfully into prominence with proper funding and achieve independence from the Mozilla branch.
You may have moved on, but the industry as a whole certainly has not. Loot boxes, season passes, cosmetic item shops, etc are the force that has allowed the $60 box price to remain the default.
When I think of a modular vehicle platform I think that even the cab itself should be a module - something we saw with the SURUS concept from GM:

What is the point of that. Sudo doesn't give access to anything important. Very much reminds me of this https://xkcd.com/1200/

Snapshots on an external system is useful but few are disciplined enough to take regular enough snapshots.
I miss shows that don't try to have big arc plots and huge setpieces that blow up the per-episode budget; but instead, are okay with being 24-episode seasons of comfy rubber-mask filmed-in-a-forest-in-Vancouver monster-of-the-week schlock. The 90s had so much of this: Stargate, X-Files, Buffy, etc. Why aren't we still making this? Do we just collectively feel like the world has "enough" of it?

Or, to put that another way: I don't need to go anywhere else in the Stargate universe. The place we started in is fine. I just want to watch a cast of hammy actors with excellent chemistry walk through a big puddle into novel science-fantasy situations.
Yeah, it's really cool when you're on calls supporting each other and the branch is moving forward twice as fast.
Does anyone know of any similar active projects?
> `<meta>` tags "using the Google/Highwire key-value system" sounds prommising -- but I'm having trouble finding a list of valid keys at the documentation linked to!

They're in the Indexing section of the linked Google page, just formatted in a particularly unreadable manner:

That will let you specify a PDF (`citation_pdf_url`) as well.

We're planning to support `<link>` elements to any supported format — basically a modern replacement for unAPI, which went defunct before CSL could be listed as an option — but CSL wouldn't let you specify a PDF anyway. And most sites want the search engine indexing they get from embedded metadata.

Why start there? Why not start in 1932, with the Holodomor?

Everybody can point their finger to something in the past. This batch of shooting started a month ago, with Russia invading Ukraine.
I'm not familiar with this space, but from what I have heard... Aren't we talking about NFT's worth hundreds of thousands of dollars? I don't think it's limited to a group of young kids...

Your post has some tension in it that I can't quite place my finger on. Like you want to succeed like the dumb people but you can't cause you're not dumb? I'm confuses then, are the NFT producers dumb if that's the case? Maybe the king of the dumbs.

NFT's in this realm don't really seem like they add value to much, but I am starting to see the value of NFT's more generally speaking!
I made two changes based on Google analytics data...

I built a mobile compatible website (after previously believing my product was a strictly desktop/laptop only product).

I translated my site into Portuguese, since the majority of my users were from there, and many of those users were acting like they didn't understand the site (written on English).

Those two things were probably together a 20% revenue uplift. Worth having Google analytics.
If photography can be made with the click of a button, drawing can be made with the flick of a pencil. Good photography, like good drawing, does require both effort and skill—usually, if not always, quite a lot more than that of a toddler drawing scribbles.

In fact, a single photograph may require a great deal of time and careful planning to execute (perhaps with a series of concept sketches, lighting plans, and so on to work out the compositional and logistical details).

I've been using Rectangle for a while now, as the Mac equivalent for what I use on Windows, i.e. Divvy. Thanks for your hard work! I didn't even realize there was a pro version. Will look towards purchasing it.
Hardware decoding even at 8k is very common, intel has had 4k VP9 hardware decoders since 2016. Comparing the i7-3520M to something modern like an AMD 5800U the modern chip has ~2x single and ~4x multi-core performance, about the same compared to a M1 MB Air. Compared to 2012 they're all in the same ballpark.
cryptokitties is from before NFTs came about isn't it?
Best for me would be like Expo.io and Facebook’s help site. Worst would be Google, Varnish Cache and lots more. Those are the most popular ones I can think of off the top of my head. I may or may not have had a period of time where I literally found about 200 documentation sites and chose the ones I liked the most! It was a while back though. Really, documentation is best when it actually answers questions and tells you stuff in order. Docusuarus seems to encourage that style with its UI. Microsoft’s documentation UI is bad, but has great information. The opposite is true with Cloudflare’s documentation. Oh, Fastly also has a terrible documentation.
Why bother using either? They are both unnecessarily bloated and a waste of space. What is nothing wrong with a list of plain old links?
I feel like a captcha needs to be in there somewhere as well.
Mozilla as an org is a husk of it's former self. They're constantly playing catch up with Firefox, almost abandonwared thunderbird, and have little actual usable innovation. What part of Firefox is "open source" when you can't integrate in your own projects? What's the point when the tech is non portable? Chromium is the clear OS winner, so open and modular you can just make your own browsers.
The short version is “that’s begging the question”.

That interpretation wasn’t what I intended. I intended the weaker “I can’t imagine it winding up any other way”. It’s not inevitable as a mathematical consequence.

If we start with the counting numbers and formulate multiplication as repeated addition, 2x3=6. We can arrive at this conclusion by constructing a model of natural numbers, or from an axiomatic approach. If we decide that we want to introduce negative numbers, we are going to end up with a different model or a different set of axioms to accommodate them.

The conclusion that (-2)x(-3)=6 is obvious only in the sense that our choice of axioms for negative numbers is obvious—it just seems like the right way to define negative numbers. For example, your proof relies on the distributive property of multiplication… something that we chose to preserve in our axioms. But we were not forced to preserve this axiom when defining negative numbers, hence it is begging the question. Just because an axiom is part of our formulation for natural numbers does not mean it is part of our formulation for positive and negative numbers.

For more information on this topic, the “transfer principle” article on Wikipedia is really interesting. It dives into other extensions of numbers, such as the hyperreals. This principle is the missing ingredient here.

> that has allowed the $60 box price

The market has grown substantially which is what has allowed prices to remain the same. According to Wikipedia, the video game industry revenue grew 13x between 2007 and 2018.

Eventually when the pie stops growing, the industry will demand higher prices, microtransactions or not.

I would argue that prices have increased. We used to be able to buy a complete AAA game, now a substantial portion of it is unlocked on if the customer keeps paying. So $60 buys less than it used to.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_game_industry
I assume a lot of that is from people that already got rich with crypto in the first place..

Also, the average price is based on the current value I'm guessing rather than the value at the time of purchase?

Thank you. I couldn’t put it better myself, speaking as someone whose existence is up for debate.
I know exactly what you mean. What people don't realize though, is this idea of creating scams for extracting money from trust fund kids has been around for a very long time, it's called the stock market.

I also think these things perform a very important, and underappreciated roll in society and have a lot to do with the success of capitalism. In the old days wealth would be concentrated in rich families who could use it to hold on to power for centuries, despite their incompetence. Money is power, and the more methods society invents of redistributing that wealth away from people who shouldn't have to those that should, the better.

Edit: That being said, the first movers in the NFT area who are now all rich are definitely not the "dumb" ones, like you seem to be implying.

Maybe because the automated enforcement can easily be applied for unexpected goals. In the US, many red light cameras are operated by private companies that are contracted by local governments. They split the revenue. The private companies will then reduce the duration of yellow lights to to increase the number of tickets. The end result is sometimes more accidents as the time from green to red is reduced and more fine revenue is collected. That seems like a perverse incentive for a perverse outcome.
Historically, black people getting rich in the US is frowned upon. Any natural resources or proximity benefits they stand to profit from, will somehow be confiscated by the dominant society using one scam or another.

Many of the suspiciously named "race riots" confirm this fact throughout US history. The Oklahoma oil boom is a good example.
thanks for clarifying.. perhaps I misread "indictment"
This seems relevant:

> The prototype described here is a purely experimental device. While substitutions and modifications are reasonably straightforward, water harvested with this experimental device is not intended to be ingested. Among other design choices, adhesives were selected for experimental performance and would need to be substitued with ones meeting food grade standards.

No. That only means ballistic missile defense is not sufficient.
Unfortunately, we live in the present, not hundreds of years in the future. The fact that it took so long for literacy to take hold seems like an argument against trying to use education as you go-to solution to a problem, since it’s not only slow, but also spreads unevenly and unpredictably.

Also, I resent the comparison between advocating a defensive design, and being opposed to literacy. It’s not as if I’m advocating for locked bootloaders, or anything else that would prevent a determined user from doing whatever they want. I’m arguing that manual password management should not be the obvious default.

I don't believe that outsider review scales. The amount of energy it takes to review unfamiliar code vastly exceeds the amount of energy it takes to hide something malicious, and a chain is only as strong as its weakest link.

Ongoing review by project committers — highly invested insiders, familiar with the codebase — is more realistic, at least in terms of actually detecting problematic code.

I was disappointed when I learned that crev's scope includes code quality, a highly subjective and inflammatory subject. I can't see how crev avoids becoming a poo-flinging venue. It seems to me as though competing initiatives which limit the focus to verifying publisher identity hold more promise.
That reminds me of an idea I had for a language learning app, to help people improve their pronunciation and intonation. Basically it would prompt the user with two similar sounding words, like "were" and "where", and get them to record themselves saying each one, and then they could hear a native speaker say each word, and they could grade themselves on how close they got.

The idea would be that over time, the user would train their ear to listen out for the differences between the sounds, and even be able to go back and listen to old recordings of themselves, to appreciate the progress they've made.
Insider fact on why this makes sense. The intention here is not to make "physics based" because we are approximating a lot of things. The idea of having it named "physically based" is because it is as close it can get to reality but not the reality! So we will always be aware that we are just running a simulation not the real thing. The authors also make this claim in the introduction section. [0]

Now? Reuters. It seems to be the most neutral news in the world, and right now, we need that. Fox, NPR, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, DailyMail and more are full throttle with propaganda tantrums right now. Second most trustworthy is probably WSJ, though I don’t really like a lot of their non opinion content. Now, where do I tend to get my world news stories? Disclose.tv on Twitter, Breaking911, insider paper and BNO News, as well as daily mail. They tend to report on just about everything relevant and usually use AP or Reuters as sources.
nfts aren't cool. The owner's other spots are actually popular because they're somewhat interesting: Afters, Matte Black Coffee, you see that stuff all over instagram and word-of-mouth does the rest. I promise you nobody wants to put nfts on their instagram unless they're trying to market some crypto stuff they're pushing.

Like zuck said, ads aren't cool. And NFTs are pretty much just advertising at this point to get other people to buy into it.
Wonder if there is a correlation between speed limit deviation and trust of government.

How is CodePen any more "globally shareable" than a website hosted on tdarb.org? HTML and CSS run a lot closer to "absolutely everywhere" than CodePen does since javascript is an additional (and in this case wholly unnecessary) requirement.

"Zero JavaScript needed" isn't just my personal preference, it's explicitly stated as being desirable by the author. I fully expect to be That One Weird Guy who doesn't like running random code on his system from untrusted remote sources, but here the author states _himself_ that not needing javascript is preferable, so it's just a very weird choice that he decided to have the only live example be in the form a link to a third party site that requires javascript, especially after he went through the trouble of writing up a simple demo on his website but only as source when he could have also used that same code to provide a live demo of the thing being discussed. If I'm going to write a whole webpage about something, it just seems natural to display the thing being discussed on that same page when possible.

I'm not even really complaining exactly, I'm just confused as to how someone managed to line up all of those dots, but never take that last step to connect them.
I upvoted this despite vehemently disagreeing with RMS on many topics, because it’s the most glaring politics in software intersection that’s invisible here.
Reuters. They tend to be the least narrative driven.
I'm almost certain Brave would have something like this too as advertising is their business model, right?
What's a Mozilla account?

What you described is the history of the United States, you seem to be looking for an excuse but there rarely ever was a legitimate one.

I guess we can atleast say the "evil white state officials" have evolved enough not to collude with the federal government to bomb or violently attack those citizens and steal their land as they had done many times in the past.

His point is that nature adapts to these things and learns to consume them eventually. There is nothing intrinsically wrong with storing plastic in the earth, as long as it isn't disrupting ecosystems.

I’m curious what the situation is outside the US. My personal experience has always been that I’ve been able to access whatever drugs I’ve needed in the UK, but I also am white and don’t look like a “Drug user™”. I’ve never heard the words opioid crisis in a European context (but have of course heard it in a US context).

How about: Google found a way to alleviate thirst for a billion people and then decided it wasn't worth bothering with, stopped it being a project, and dumped the plans on Github? Norman Borlaug[1] won a Nobel Prize for his contribution to food production which is said to have fed a billion people, so I guess these authors had better things to do at Google than save a billion thirsty people and do Nobel level work?

From the paper: "Our assessment introduces a hypothetical 1-metre-square device with a SY profile of 0.2 to 2.5 litres per kilowatt-hour".

From the Thunderf00t video, checks out with a Google: it takes about 2,200,000 Joules of energy to evaporate 1 litre of water at 100C into steam at 100C, and so at least that much to condense 1 Litre of water from steam. There's 3.6MJ in 1KWh which is enough for 1.5 Litres. So already in the first paragraph of the abstract their upper estimate of 2.5 litres per KWh seems to be beyond thermodynamic limits (I could be very wrong, I'm no scientist; am I wrong?).

I'm not claiming any expertise or more knowledge than watching two videos just now, but their paper describes more than just solar powered condensing, with absorbent gels and materials involved as well (but still, wouldn't those have to take the same amount of energy out of the air to condense the water?). Their paper also shows desalination as being >100x more water per KWh than getting water from air.

Pretty nasty. Welcome to the big tech tyrants! Really, you’re paying too much for mail anyways. Oracle cloud email delivery is a mere $0.085/1,000 emails sent. For sure a much better deal than any other email delivery provider. Oh, you’ll also pay $0.0085/GB of data transferred. That’s $8.50 per 1 TB. Best deal in the world.
Getting swagged out is a right of passage for those entering tech. However, Comdex (RIP) was the gold pinnacle for swag. I remember Creative giving out mp3 players, Dell giving out laptops, Microsoft giving out keyboard / mice combinations, AMD giving out processors...

Now people have to be happy with some branded shitty USB cables, black shirts (90% of swag shirts are black for unknown reasons and made of 100% shitty cotton), stickers, branded candies (Hey Amazon, looking at you), and the occasional heat resistant gloves (splunk knows things get hot when presenting their obscene price to upper management).

I stopped accepting swag unless it's something unique and cool.
