See this post on Reddit where someone is driving in people’s blindspots to give them an opportunity to use their modified car horn that sounds like a train horn. Inevitably, another account asks them where they got their car’s horn, and then they can plug their (or their client’s) website.

How Google Search is making me a better programmer
I think that there's nothing stopping K9 from working with XOAUTH2/gmail, except that someone needs to put in the work. I implemented it a few years ago for a webapp, and it's not so bad. I don't especially like XOAUTH2 as a system or that it's being enforced now, but it's entirely possible to be interoperate with XOAUTH2, and I don't see how it's "proprietary".
The usual services (actions) again down around the same time. This is embarrassing.
Defines in a .c file (or .cpp, .m, etc.) are special-purpose and don't have to be suitable for use in all contexts.
It's really hard raising a million dollars outside Silicon Valley and this first cohort is aimed at European based startups only. European investors are notorious for being risk-averse and their investment terms are laughable at best. ( I know of some European University run incubators which offer less than $25,000 USD in exchange for 5% equity)
American VC's on the other hand won't bother talking to foreign founders unless they incorporate as a C-corp in Delaware.
My opinion is that the market may crash or the market may go up. I am going to keep indexing anyway and buying I-Bonds. I already own real estate.

Housing is unlikely to drop to 2008 levels. Building materials are more expensive, and pay is also up.

“Worrying is like a rocking chair. It gives you something to do but it doesn’t get you anywhere.” - Van Wilder
I think we just need a balance between decentralization and centralization. Think of banking as an example. If you want to be fully decentralized you can just use cash only and keep all of your money (or gold) in a safe at home. A fully centralized option is to have one national bank that everyone uses. Neither are great options but they both exist in practice. What's currently prevalent in a lot of places are a few big services that cooperate, same thing in tech right now too. What we want is a large number of small to medium sized services that are interoperable but also reliable. Make it easy for people to start their own service through laws or code and you've gone a long way towards solving the problem without putting extra work on the consumer.
They were already doing some Java license auditing. Last year we were contacted about some small usage of Oracle JDK 8 they detected via auto-update checks from our corp IPs.

Our usage of Oracle Java 8 is classed as free still, and we pay Azul for the rest of our Java usage. I highly recommend Azul if you are looking for a vendor.
All current programmable quantum processors are made from unicorn hairs and fairy dust.

The current state of the art is trying to prove that the thing did something quantum. Programmability is at best swapping some wires around to change that something.
My pet theory why stocks have stopped reacting to real world fundamentals is simply because the main sector changed.

Currently that's technology, which happens mostly on the internet globally. I can't really imagine a real world event big enough that would shake up Google, Amazon, Apple, etc. all at once. Sure, individually they can be threatened by innovation, but generally everything on the internet feels very "detached" from real world events.

If possible even russia would still use those services today.

My point is simply that there are issues other than Pinker's dalliances with racialist pseudoscientists that prompt objections to him; for instance, the fact that he contributed to Jeffrey Epstein's defense. That's all.
A third of the Jews that went into hiding were caught and deported, speculation is that these were betrayed but there isn't any solid proof for this, just a lot of circumstantial evidence, and the Germans were pretty rigorous with their house-to-house searches which would span entire neighborhoods. The very best case for this is one built by Ad van Liempt, but it definitely isn't uncontroversial, as is van Liempt himself, who has more than once been labelled 'careless'.

https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_van_Liempt

To portray this as a 'national hobby' is beyond disgusting, a very small fraction (Van Liempt identified a band of about 50 individuals) of the Dutch population ended up collaborating with the Germans on this, the bulk did what they could under exceedingly dangerous circumstances risking their own lives and the lives of their families in order to help others.

When I read web3 co.'s product/ tech description it almost always feels like some form of tech. literacy gaslighting. I always feel initially like there's something elusive that I'm not grokking b/c I'm not a blockchain zealot.

Then I sit back and realize that it's usually because most of the examples I read are trying to solve non-technical problem (attribution, trust, etc.) with a buzzy tech solution all wrapped in a serious bit of speculation.

I think there's a lot of room for improvement in the tech of our law, banking, and logistics systems (COBOL--> anything else?), but the kneejerk to some "decentralized" system that needs total but in from it's participants to work actually seems more fragmented and fragile than our current institutions...
> However, the even more tragic part is that it doesn't exactly apply in today's world where most people are bound to their jobs.

I'm not sure it's really all that different now than it has ever been. Sure, it's not like people were always and everywhere working for some other entity in what we'd tend to recognize as a "job", but there has always been a struggle. The struggle in the past was to be able to grow enough food to last the winter to stave off starvation.
I'm saying that society hasn't consistently had that norm, and flourished anyways, so the supposed norm is probably not as causative as it's being made out to be.
You do require an email account for K9; I guess that's what they're asking for in their canned reply. Someone tried to review it, saw they can't use it without setting up an email account, clicked the standard "reject" reply, and here we are.
But the web is not a decentralized place. You put content on servers, and everybody downloads that content from there. There a copies or caches, yes (CDNs but also old-school http proxy caches). But if I remove content from my server (or a tweet), its no longer accessible by standard means. We build a whole set of technologies to not have a single-point-of-failure (i.e. load balanced servers + replication) but for example in CCN/IPFS you can publish content a single time from a very slow dialup line, and in theory it could be accessed by millions of users (which in todays world is only possible if you put it on a CDN or run your own datacenter to satisfy requests at that scale).
I totally agree, here in Romania, prices have skyrocketed since the banks became involved... one might argue they fund new construction but the downside is it's destroying a lot of the authentic inner cities with "ugly" high rises...

Also somewhere there is a succinct explanation of how when you want a loan from a bank for a new property, they go to the central bank and get one to finance you, thereby creating money out of thin air, and adding to monetary inflation... but please correct me if I'm wrong
node has a costly and intertwined init itself, where the startup cost is 50-100ms.

On top of that, `npm` similarly has a high startup cost adding to the original node cost.

Node apps are very slow to start to run due to synchronous `require` eager-loading all the module files, so there is some re-architecting necessary to get a performant startup time

yarn v1 is probably the best of the bunch with startup lag close to pure node (100-150ms)

yarn v2 and up can be extremely bad, 1s-3s with medium to large repos, especially with PnP enabled which AFAIK forces eager resolution.

pnpm similarly has had troubles starting up quickly. It used to be even slower as it passed the command to `npm` in a suboptimal way. Nowadays its about the same speed as `npm` as it uses `npm` for `run`.
NFL teams have continued to let plenty of players who have suffered injuries and had less-than-stellar records continue to play. If you can demonstrate that there's a clear pattern of players with Kaepernick's on-the-field record being treated similarly, then your argument holds some water; but otherwise, it's just a convenient pretext.
Woah, I guess I've been logging into XFCE with the wrong password this whole time! heh.
Sadly, what archive.org does with protocols and subdomains is quite a messy guesswork, from what I observed: take a look at "HTTPS page from 1998":

http://web.archive.org/web/19981201210443/https://www.info.c...

Neither the protocol nor the "www" subdomain are "right", yet archive.org serves some snapshot.
Regarding that last, there have been at least two cases where a secondary mission was added later, after launch. Pioneer 11 was launched for Jupiter, then retargeted during flight to slingshot to Saturn too. And New Horizons was launched for Pluto, then retargeted during flight to encounter a particular Kuiper Belt object (which hadn't even been discovered at launch.)
Higher-income people are business people. Business people are always worried, deep down, even when they won't admit it to anyone. The worst whiners I've ever met were wealthy shopkeepers and industrialists - they know it can all go in an instant.
Not to mention, Ti is rust proof which is great for winter climates, such as Helix's native Canada.

Just a regular monitor.

It's an idiom in the VR community, especially since a lot of games support both VR and non-VR. But always saying "non-VR-mode" or "normal mode" (which mode is 'normal'? VR or not?) is kind of awkward.

It started as "flat", people started joking about it being "pancake" and it just stuck.
> people worry, but that does not lead to a solution.

Jesus said, "who of you by worrying can add one moment to their lifespan?" (or in another saying "...add one inch to their stature?")
You might be too surrounded by people who are into current VR.

> Focus... Again, nobody cares.

That’s just not true. Having a single fixed focal distance was super jarring when I’ve tried VR. But normal people won’t complain about that. They’ll just say “looks weird.”

Personally, the problem it needs to solve is figuring out how to let me virtually move without physically moving, while not making it awkward and also not getting me motion sick. So far, that problem still feels fundamental.

I plan on getting my kids some kind of flip phone or dumb phone when they turn 10. Will try to hold off on smart phones until 8th grade.

The biggest problem right now has been the lack of a good mp3 player for the kids. Years ago we had the iPod. It was a perfect device. But Apple has discontinued that in favor of things that are basically iPhones.

There are a bunch of cheap Chinese-made mp3 players on Amazon, but they tend to have terrible navigation, sorting songs alphabetically, making it impossible to create playlists, inability to sort by genre, etc etc. I haven't found a good one (recommendations happily accepted).

So I gave the kids my old Android phone without a Sim card, and removed most of the apps, but of course they'll use the camera, and the browser... and I realized that this was just a slippery slope to that full-featured smart phone that I didn't want to get them yet.
Is that true? Here's a chamber with two equal halves, with a wall between them. I put air in the left half or the right half, and a vacuum in the other half. Then I remove the wall. Once things reach equilibrium, how are you going to determine which half had the air in the beginning?

So it looks to me like, even apart from black holes, no, you can't reverse things. Am I missing something here?
>> Setting up GitLab is fairly easy, in my company we do it and it's cheap (on-prem hosting is basically zero, and we had the IPs/domains already)

In what tech company is hosting or domains the main cost centre? Many companies spend more on a single hour of a dev's time than their entire GH monthly bill.
Don't worry, some Very Smart commenters above have decided that the system will work perfectly if there are just a few more warnings and alarms.

I think a lot of the inflation is a symptom of new money being printed. The difference between past events where a lot of new money has been created in the US and this time is the access to financial assets to a large percent of the population. So when we saw this money being created and flooding the system in early pandemic, all that money went to pump up asset prices (stocks at first, then commodities and real estate, now consumer goods).

So we could have economic stagnation (job losses, increasing inflation, etc) without necessarily a drop in the stock market. In fact, stock market might be the only thing that could hedge inflation.

Visibility int third party cloud vendors should be like air traffic control
I guess theres the larger point about appreciation, with money being the biggest way of showing that. I've heard horror stories about OSS devs getting hundreds of emails a day ripping into them for not working fast enough to fix an issue or implement a feature. It sounds like murder.

When I was much younger, I used to be in awe of how OSS devs can do all this amazing stuff, put it with no expectation of compensation, get a wall of critiscm and demands back, and continue working on it stoically without burnout. As I got older, I learned that the burnout is very real and only getting worse. I'm still extremely impressed by any OSS developers ability to keep going [so you should know that at least someone appreciates you ;) ], but it doesn't seem right to me now.

No, but it adds insult to injury. Keep in mind that the Germans used all kinds of pressure including the deportation or execution of family members to get people to betray others.

here’s the feedback page for the new feed (mostly negative): https://github.com/github/feedback/discussions/categories/feed-feedback?discussions_q=category%3A%22Feed+Feedback%22+sort%3Atop

users have already created a Chrome extension that disables the feed: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/disable-githubs-social-fe/kpnlfpcahnaneiphpmhagjodkonmkkfj

I'm not sure what specific claims you're arguing against, but most people in the space aren't making them. It's a straw man. It sounds like you mainly take issue with the name web3, which I don't disagree with.
Maybe helps everyone individually in the short term. In the long term, loss of trust in basically everything increases friction for all aspects of interacting with others in society.

I really wish I could go back to using a dumbphone as my daily driver. Most of the things I use my phone for are basically the same as they were 15 years ago, but the implementations has changed (Spotify for music, Signal for texts) and I doubt they'll ever bother to target dumbphones.

> At this rate the benefits of running your own gitea or gitlab are starting to become competitive

When you host things yourself, you still have downtime. And, having worked with Github for over a decade, the actual disruption to my work is from downtime is much less than if I had to host my own.

That being said: I briefly worked for a company that hosted its own source code control system. For us, as a small team, it wasn't worth it. The system was outdated and hosted in an insecure manner. No one ever did any "admin" work except the founder. He ran it because he had irrational fears of switching, not because of any tangible advantages over Github (and competitors.)

Keep in mind that Github (and competitors) are often cheaper than the time needed to invest in hosting your own. (Estimate 10-20 hours a year of invested time. Calculate your hourly rate. Github and competitors are cheaper.) In order to come ahead, you need tangible benefits other than "I think I can have less downtime."
1/3rd the surface gravity... steering, accelerating, and braking will have some unique challenges.
your code is correct and it does what we asked, but the way we write code is different

My take is that your code doesn't account for time, space, or IO. It will solve trivial examples, but doesn't consider what needs to happen when the data gets to an interesting size.

There's the Kaggle trap where the problems can be solved at the formal level with advanced Fizzbuzz. But the engineering issues are when the data is too big to fit in memory.

This is also how I take the the second example.

Good luck.

Everyone loves to bring up beatsaber when discussing the future of VR but beat saber is so carefully designed to avoid its pitfalls. You don't move more than a few feet irl or in game. Everything you need to see is in front of you. You have infinitely light weapons with no resistance.

Graphics is not the problem. It's the interface.
I know a lot of people who would love some sort of middle option. They are never on their phone - they only use it for texting or navigation.

I think people often forget this segment was briefly explored before being killed by the carriers. The Microsoft Kin was supposed to launch with a cheaper, data-light Verizon plan. But Verizon at the last minute decided they didn't want to undercut their data plans and the phone required the same $70 a month data plan as any other smartphone.

Obviously, consumer demand for phones that do everything was heavily affected by the iPhone. But I would argue Blackberry and Palm (RIP!) would have ultimately faired a bit better if their data-sipping designs weren't treated so hostile by carriers.
If you ask me, yes and yes. But I don't think they will get very high. I've seen claims of low demand for US bonds before and it turned out the exact opposite.
I mean, the official statement admits the attacker was in the system from January 16-21, 2022. During that time, he says they also had access to Slack, Splunk, and Jira. We know they grabbed some sort of AWS keys at least from Slack. Who knows what other sort of info was posted there that they grabbed. Organizations play fast and loose with Slack all the time and not a lot of orgs purge Slack conversations routinely.

Plus with Jira and Splunk, that’s a goldmine of info.

So is that really not a breach?
Seems like that "water-damaged MacBook Pro" belonging to Hunter Biden was not disinformation all this time.

Not really a surprise [0] since the media knows how to coordinate a professional cover-up of a story and scream: 'Fake News', 'Disinformation' or what ever when in fact they are the spreader of their own lies and biased propaganda.

So this is just another way for them to orchestrate a cover up and silence any criticism. So there you go.

Well yes but I'm trying to avoid unnecessary spoilers, in case the readers haven't seen the ending yet.

The Toji sub-plot is all wrapped up before the 10th episode, and is a side-story at best. Its barely a spoiler IMO. What makes Evangelion great is that its filled with these interactions: Misato's interactions with Ritsuko, Ritsuko interacting with Rei, Rei interacting with Asuka, etc. etc.

Its filled to the brim, not all of the interactions are depressing, some are ridiculously over-the-top / campy (especially the excuses for fanservice scenes), but the "serious story" that's told over the 26 episodes (or 4 OVA movies for the new timeline) is pretty good. Albeit heavily laden with long-winded dialogs about Selee, Three Magi computer system, Dead Sea Scrolls, AT Fields, the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th impact events and Hedgehog's Paradox (Okay, Hedgehog's Paradox actually is relevant and the running theme between all of these characters. But a lot of the other stuff doesn't matter, lol).

This is the answer. You can read all of the pontification and prognostication you like, but ultimately you’re gambling if you’re trying to time the market. You have incomplete information and you will not be able to respond appropriately, you’ll instead be rolling the dice. You can do that if you like, but you’ll be better served by regularly investing in broad market index funds and not thinking too hard about it.
Where did you get the numbers from? I am curious if it counts people who do not exclusively write software but who are nonetheless also programming as part of their job.
