Yes, we will land on Firefox very soon, hopefully next month.

Copilot's been very useful. The extension is built on TS and lots of custom CSS. Codex is knowledgeable with browser extension APIs and it's helped me to write most CSS utility classes that change sizes, margins and paddings, so that I don't have to bundle the extension with another third-party library.
I will be reviewing that definitely. Thank you
Good thing C doesn't run the world!
I love it! Is there anyway to reduce the search radius?
> Uh... An underclass that isn't as valued as royalty can easily get you this. Otherwise, there maybe isn't value in stuff like this?

That's one way. Another is a (theoretical) advanced society that directs its surplus value into creating art rather than consumerism or oligarchical capital accumulation.
> This amounted to a total loss of 824,097,690 IQ points, disproportionately endured by those born between 1951 and 1980

That is interesting, but what I really wonder about is more subtle cognitive effects. Did it make people meaner? More easily led? Less collaborative?

America’s Energy Security Is Falling Apart
Let's be frank here, both of us know what you are implying. Cutting excerpts of wikipedia without the context is a pretty valid disinformation tactic. Replacing words randomly also to suit your previous point is ridiculous.

Glory to the heroes of the country is also pretty common in the army in Romania, there is even a famous monument with this written on it: "Intru slava eroilor neamului" which means To the glory to the heroes of the nation. This monument was built after the first world war.
Early works by Plato pretty much reframed my relationship with knowledge. I went from thinking I knew most things, to questioning whether what I even mean when I say I know something.
He meant the battle itself ends in roughly a few minutes. The number of battles and attempts could be much longer.

It’s a major deviation in difficulty definitions between fromsoft and difficulty sliders — the usual increase in difficulty is to just bump the stats, which typically just means you have to play perfectly for longer durations.

Fromsoft just asks you to play perfectly for a minute, maybe two (and honestly not that perfectly).

Eg I’m playing triangle strategy atm, and the hard mode difficulty bumps their stats so high that the strategy ultimately devolves into some kind of cheesing in many cases (and then spend 15 minutes executing that cheese because the enemies are taking chip damage). At the same time, normal mode (apparently) is easy enough to just plow through, so I’m pretty much stuck if I want an actual challenge — and that’s hardly a surprising state of affairs.
This is also being worked on in other areas with varying degrees of focus:

In my experience, dog owners tend to anthropomorphize their dogs quite a bit. They’ll dream up motivations for their dog’s behaviors, often with very little basis in reality. Surveying dog owners about their dog’s personality will tell you a lot more about the dog owners than the dog.
perhaps as branches? then we can cherry pick those as needed.

lol. Ether dropped 93% in 2018 and is doing just fine today. I think you have to adjust your "bubbles burst" definition for crypto.

BGP is pretty foundational to the internet. At some point, you have to assume hour audience knows the basics. Not everything is an intro.

Also, if you don’t know what BGP is, you aren’t going to be interested in a project implementing BGP.
Which is essentially also why you get more diffraction limited as you stop down the aperture -- a larger and larger fraction of the light that gets through passes near the edges (and gets diffracted) rather than the central area.
My other was similar: bash, zsh, fish, back to zsh. The ecosystem around zsh is just so much more robust. Fish is better out of the box than zsh, but once you start customizing fish loses its shine.
In American jurisdictions of which I am aware, there are such laws around handling hazardous materials (and lead, especially in particulate form, qualifies). In hypothetical places where there aren't, the concept of a tort still exists.

You do, in fact, "have standing" to not have your neighbors poison you. This is a good thing. It should be celebrated.
Great yeah, I was going to suggest we could contribute fixes back to OSM if that was the issue :)
Fixed. Checked on FF on Pixel and Chrome on generic droid. Thanks.
Elden Ring is the easiest one of these games by far, you don’t have to play it the “hard way”. If you want to get through the game just play a sorcery build and level up a bit. With summons you’ll be able to get through many bosses without even getting hit.
I can't not go all over the place here to make two small points. But in summary, author has tunnel vision, and with repetition, wasted column inches. Should have said more with less.

I find pre-european contact N & S American civilizations fascinating, but with my casual interest I can only reliably name three off-hand, Maya, Aztec and Inca. There are piles more: Norte Chico, Cahokia, Zapotec, Toltec, Olmec, Chimor, Mixtec, Moche, Mississippian, Puebloan, Totonac, Teotihuacan, Huastec, Purépecha, Izapa, Mazatec, Muisca, and all the other distinct Native American cultures. I don't think there is an exhaustive list. Author could have spared a sentence here or there to help place the Incas for us, to give us more than we already knew by the first few paragraphs.

The practice of mnemonic knotting is ancient. I believe artifacts have been found all over the world related to primitive civilizations going back to the Paleolithic, and I am pretty sure there are some famous ones of medieval European origins that are on display in some Irish museum(s). But my search fu is not strong, and all I can recall is reading something (I think) Christopher Tolkien wrote about what his father's "lays" actually were: the writing is his father's translation from (allegedly, obviously that's fiction, but we play along) a physical "lay," which is a product of mnemonic knotting. J.R.R Tolkien's lays were, in origin, in universe, these long textile-like things that may look like embroidery or a banner to any not already knowing what it is, which is mnemonic knotting. And although Tolkien's lays are fiction, lays are real things. I just can't produce a link to an image of one, but I have seen such images. And my point here is: was the author unaware of the very long history of mnemonic knotting? Perhaps they might have said, "like the famous [such and such] on display at the [blah blah blah] that gives a full account of [8 generations of a large and successful pre-Roman family in Scotland, or whatever]."

tl;dr The author is cuckoo for quipu.
Maybe, maybe not. At the times W95 was usual, I mostly ran NetBSD and later some Gentoo and Debian on my assorted systems. Furthermore, most systems had PSUs rated at 200 to 250 Watt, which they didn't even burn if one used operating systems which knew what to do with the CPUs HLT instruction during idle, or less load, also spinning down disks was a thing.

BTW, there was software which made W95/98 use HLT too. Rain, Waterfall, CPUidle, or something like that. Which became obsolete with W2000 which did that by itself.

Shrug.

Immigration is much more complex than a yes/no or a 0-100 scale. What cultures do the immigrants come from? How is the host culture's traits for integrating them? What persons from the foreign society actually become immigrants?

The USA is historically incredibly successful in attracting and integrating immigrants that go on to have great success. While e.g. Sweden appears to have an alarmingly high proportion of immigrants that go on to act in ways that are detrimental to their society. There might exist examples that illustrate the example in a way that's even more obvious.
I thought the same thing until my dog stole my car.
>in other countries throughout the world, minorities live in harmony with majorities, especially when they're ethnically very distinct, so that they are still visibly a different group even after culturally assimilating.

Not sure this is sarcasm or just naivety when other countries have literal wars and genocides over these RIGHT NOW
If people are referring to the UCLA job posting of March 4, 2022 for an assistant adjunct professor in chemistry and biochemistry with no compensation - I have no idea how HR approved this. It is a violation of minimum wage laws, and the UCLA faculty contract. As a CA college professor I'd like to respond to some of the misconceptions in the replies:
Sabbatical leave faculty are compensated. A fellowship is a paid position. Unpaid positions are not created for refugees.
Faculty do not teach courses "for fun." It is a job.
It is NOT extremely common in academia. I've been a college professor for over 25 years and have never heard of advertising an unpaid faculty position. It is outrageous.
This is not a "volunteer position." There is no such thing as unpaid "volunteer" faculty.
Faculty in the medical school and other areas may have research grants to cover their appointments. However, this position requires teaching without pay. That is a violation of the UCLA Faculty Association collective bargaining agreement.
Ok? I know you don't support those two, so why use their ideas as defense of your position? They are fools all the same, if that's how they govern and what they promote.
Until the Copilot product is accessible to the public on the same terms as the free software on which it is based, it is another example of corporate exploitation of the commons, or, in other words, open theft.

If it separately becomes a long term trend for private companies to use neural net regurgitation to allow them to use free software without complying with the GPL, free software must be completely abandoned.
At the risk of stating the obvious, IQ points aren't a measure and adding them up doesn't yield a meaningful number. It's like adding up the numbers on football player's jerseys; if the total of a team's numbers goes up, that doesn't make the team better. Similarly, a reduction in the total amount of "IQ points lost" could easily correspond to more damage to cognitive intelligence caused by lead exposure.
I think the point is that if they are _not_ using the same mitigation techniques, you have a right to prevent their DIY actions from poisoning you and your family. And if they don’t have a license or permit, how can you verify they are following best practice?

There is no users manual. It would be nice if it was programmed to be more user friendly.

“If you want to make a train you should make a list of accounts. Be sure to check every single profile, though. Check for activity, trolls, original content, followback ratio, etc. Compile the list, add the hashtag "TruthTrain" and let it ride! A couple instructions are always helpful as well, like reminding people to ReTruth and following everyone. DO NOT COPY TRAINS PLEASE! They take a long time to make and adding the sams people to a train multiple times defeats the purpose.”

“Collection, depends on apps you use on your phone. I use a memo to paste them in, then you have to clean them up. As far as the 7.5k max, once you amass more than 7.5k followers you can follow again. Always stay just a tad under your followers vs following, you play catch-up at times but you won’t max out”
Extremely frequent diff based backups?

My personal preference is to rsync to a backup host in a daily cron. Hourly for important directories. That backup host then runs rsnapshot [1] locally and the snapshots are made read-only. Important files are then backed up off-site. rsnapshot is just a perl script that creates multiple diff snapshots and uses hardlinks to save space. It is available for most distros. I believe it is also in macports and homebrew for mac.

There must be a way for the life's work of this man to live on, given its importance to his community.

It's not clear from the article how much of the source code still exists. It sounds like it's still somewhere.

If so, there must be a graceful way either to open-source it in his memory, to deed it to an appropriate foundation, or even to start a small software company with some kind of profit sharing structure.

It would be a shame if it were lost entirely, simply because the stakeholders were unable to coordinate.

Realistically, the best option is probably to open-source it as-is. The program itself will compensate the developers who modernize it.
What Are UTM Parameters (in the URLs)?
Hi and thanks for your feedback!

- The Code City project is a cool way of visualising code and the idea was to show how we normally organise code today, and what problems it creates (development experience + sharing). I agree I could have been more clear about that.

- This is the longer video where I (and Furkan) try to explain what Polylith is, what problems it solves, how it works, and why you should use it. The sad fact is that it's super hard to explain Polylith (we have given about 15 different presentations) and I think you need to try it out yourself to get an idea how it is to work with and which problems it solves.

I will leave to Furkan to answer your questions about Scrintal.

It depends on the context. Not every bgp speaker needs the full internet table and frequent route changes. If you use the network to balance traffic across servers, you just need a bgp speaker on a server to inject a few routes for the ip addresses it will handle. In that case a good api outweighs performance.

Qualcomm: From Satellites to CDMA to Snapdragons
A disappointing article that’s not a manifesto in any sense. The author doesn’t seem interested in exploring prior art at all, and there’s plenty starting from VRML which was briefly the hype around 1996.

Crypto claims are repeated without criticism. For example:

“With blockchain, users can maintain a consistent identity across the metaverse simply by verifying their wallet address, which nobody else would have access to.”

How do you know address 0x381638eef881 is the Jane Doe who went to your high school? It’s not intrinsically a better identifier than janedoe31@gmail.com.

You can’t expect people to have a single wallet address all their lives — keys get lost, etc. And if you need a third party to provide an identity layer, well, that’s just another Facebook. (Which of course the VCs hope that they’ll be the ones to fund.)

I would hope that going by popularity is something a search engine WILL ABSOLUTELY NOT DO in a corporate setting. This is a completely different scenario than what we have on the public WWW, so unless your corporation has a situation where people maliciously copy articles from others, trying to pass them off as their own content, in which case the search engine quality is the least of your problems. :)

Anyway, as I've already stated, Confluence spaces which are well looked after and are not allowed to get cluttered are a delight to search in, and as a bonus also a delight to just browse through.

P.S. Google Search results are often lousy and full of low quality results anyway, I'm not sure mentioning it makes your point as well as you think it does. As everywhere - crap goes in, crap comes out. :)

I’m not saying they could have done it a better way necessarily, just that these kinds of problems are much more obvious in a callback-based style

People get evicted all the time, for all sorts of reasons that may not be their fault. Why do you draw the line at eminent domain?

Floating point numbers are a particular way to represent (and modestly compress) rational numbers. I'm against rational number libraries because they use non-power-of-2 denominators and are, thus, fundamentally less efficient with respect to the actual cost of calculation.

The first lines of the article actually tell most of the story:

I used to own a property management company and I have overseen multiple home remodels (while doing one largely by myself right now). Hazardous material management on a work site are not somehow beyond regulation because it's not "commercial activity", that's preposterous. Homeowner-executed projects can be stop-worked just like everything else and hazardous material management is a standard part of code enforcement.

As to your postscript--yes, clueless or careless DIYers probably need the hammer swung at them, and hard, when they do something to create negative externalities. You have the right to not be poisoned by your neighbors. Even if they make you sue them to enforce that right, that still isn't "harassment", and it is genuinely and deeply gross to characterize it as such.
It will completely break my brain if it actually works.

I have used Synergy, Mouse Without Border, Multiplicity, and more. They all suck. They. ALL. Suck.

Every single one of them needs to be reconnected multiple times a day. I fix this by using a schedule task that restarts them. lol

They ALL have clipboard issues where the clipboard stops working at some random point in the day.

Some of them have system breaking issues like the Synergy login screen issue. Where if you are at the lock screen (as happens throughout the day) and you move your mouse to another screen, your mouse is 100% stuck on the other screen. The only way to recover your client computer is via the power button. So take all that work you left when you got up to go to the bathroom, take it all and flush it down the toilet. Thanks Synergy. Fuck you Synergy.

They all have issues with more than two machines. Sometimes you can only access the left 100 pixels of a certain machine. Who knows!? It's fun isn't it!? Sometimes a specific screen will just... stop working. Who knows!? You were just sitting there. And now your workday has stopped.

Fuck you Synergy. Fuck you Mouse Without Borders. Fuck you Multiplicity. You all suck. You are all half-ass attempts at something that very much needs to "just work".
I'm sure it's just a consequence of demographics, but you don't see or hear nearly as much about people who started their computing lives as adults. I got my first computer (a Timex/Sinclair 1000) in 1983, when I was 28, and the first of several Commodore 64s less than a year later...and by the time I had kids, six years after that, I had a PC. The C=64 was as formative to my life as it would have been to any grade schooler in my day.
