There's an obvious difference between trying to hurt people and not trading with them yourself. If the distinction is difficult, there are laws to define this 'war crime' thing, you may wish to consult them.

Also, Russia is relatively self-sufficient foodwise. There'll be shortages but no starvation. I'm sure though that if starvation was serious possiblity the West would exclude food imports.
> Make a phone. Sell it. Make it repairable and upgradeable. Let people keep it for a long time.

True. I remember going to the "electronics shop" in my neighbourhood to have the family VCR and CD player repaired. My family has a Sony CRT TV that lasted from 1998-2018, needing only occasional repairs, doable with parts available at the local shop.

Toyota and Honda 'dumb' cars are still this way; repairable at any body shop, with parts that don't cost an arm and a leg. I'm never going to purchase a Tesla or some other car (BMW/Mercedes/others) that give you little choice about where to go for service.
Medical industry is corruption prone.

Another example: Industry sponsored conferences. Doctors are invited to a 3 day 4 star hotel stay to attend a conference. Technically, talks that are paid shilling are specially marked as sponsored talks.

But are the other doctors, who are getting paid to speak there 100% independent?

Will you be a 100% independent doctor after getting free presents?

Maybe you will. But industry probably found its profitable if they spent millions on these kinds of conferences.

Also lie repeated multiple times makes you believe in, there are psychological studies. So when you spend hour listening how drug X is gold, you might start believing its gold
Very cool! I need to use this more for Los Angeles. The city is known to be one of the worst cycling cities in the US (and many parts are quite awful). But given that it is such a huge behemoth of sprawl there are also some quite amazing bike paths and places to cycle if you know where to go. And the LACBC is doing amazing work on getting that expanded - one day somewhat soon there should be a bike path running the entire LA river. On top of that Cyclavia is an amazing event I highly recommend anyone in the area participate in.
Doesn't say how much the actual artists are seeing of this growth, and how spread out it is. These streaming services make it really hard for smaller artists to stand out, almost everyone uses the services "radio" equivalent which seems to play a very narrow scope of similar artists (mostly more well known).

Basically it seems like it's easier than ever to become a musician with global reach/fans but harder than ever to make a decent living off of it.
It's super powerful, but with that power comes complexity. I found it too overwhelming to use when building Rails apps. I really missed SequelPro, so I built Beekeeper Studio to scratch my own itch. Others had the same itch I guess!
I spotted a couple of language issues on the webpage. "most concise parts of words" doesn't make sense, as "concise" means brief or short. Maybe you meant "important"? "very great" isn't proper English.
But my whole point was that they wouldn't be hosting content. The users would be hosting it themselves, on their local computers, serving it via their browser. Mozilla would just have to provide a way to give users a stable base URL (linked maybe to Firefox accounts) that they could give to other people.
I don't think signaling my beliefs ever will change anyone's mind.

However, I've gotten a lot of feedback from friends of mine that signalling my support for their cause or identity has made them feel more comfortable in the world.

That's both useful and beautiful.

There are a couple popular dyslexic-friendly fonts, OpenDyslexic [1] and Dyslexie. [2] My understanding is that the first is free and the second is not.

What they have in common is that both are quite heavy fonts (thick lines), and with a bit of extra kerning (space between letters). They are also designed to have 'b' and 'd' (and other mirror-image pairs) that do not look like mirror images.

I have worked in this field for years, as the founder of BeeLine Reader. [3] We received a lot of requests to offer one of these fonts, and we've used OpenDyslexic for quite some time. I know some people really like it. At the same time, dyslexia researchers (especially those in the US) insist that dyslexia is not a visual condition, and that fonts cannot make a difference.

I tend to believe that even if it is not an issue that is primarily visual, that doesn't meant that adjustments to how text is presented can't make things better. This seems to be the sense among (1) researchers outside the US, (2) individuals with dyslexia worldwide, and (3) many assistive technology or SPED workers in the US — despite what US-based researchers say.

It'd be pretty annoying for a JIT compiler to have to manage too. Java can do a garbage collection with barely any memory left - cool! But, it'd be a shame if similar tricky stuff was written just to e.g. decompile code just to make way for more code space. Pages with only one of 'write' or 'execute' privileges work well enough
For one thing, has anyone actually looked at all the old hippies? And if they have, the old hippies probably didn't have access to anything as potent as we do, and I'm assuming today's edibles are (or eventually will be) full of all sorts of nonsense additives, because that's what we do.

I'm not saying I know either way, but this seems like an easy thing to be wrong about.
The extreme version of this is using an HSM, and putting one in a safe deposit box.
>Would that be acceptable in a for-profit company?

If their revenue went way up, absolutely. Which is what happened when the executives got more money.
The word "wine" is the closest word to "win", and it has a strong "i". To pronounce "win", just say "wine" without the "e".
I don't have to think someone is "out to get me" to believe that the current state of affairs is deeply broken and that you can't fix it with a better mouse trap.

This is just a really easy way for you to dismiss any criticism and avoid cognitive dissonance over your work. I believe you have good intentions. I also believe that those "dozens of news apps" all burn a whole bunch of watt hours on producing nearly identical results and are largely just facades over a handful of media companies.

And that's not speculation or a conspiracy theory, it's plainly true. Media conglomeration has happened at an incredibly fast pace over the last 40 years and local media has been decimated. No one has to be a cackling evildoer with a fancy mustache and a british accent to make this happen, they just have to keep grinding harder and harder at inventing new ways to 'fix it' with more conglomeration.
Again, this wasn't just an attack on Russians.
If everything is constructed, if everything is relative, if everything is subjective and if everything is on a spectrum then what are we even arguing about?

Nobody fits their gender norms perfectly. No culture has identical gender norms. Even physiologically chromosomes are more nuanced than X and Y.
Underrated factor IMO:

> consistency with the UI conventions of a given desktop operating system

Desktop conventions sort of exist for macOS but definitely do not exist for Windows or Linux.

I won’t go into Linux because I don’t want to deal with that energy right now, but Windows is an absolute mess:

- WPF
- WinUI (2 and 3, totally different)
- WinForms
- MFC/Etc
- WebView2 (basically electron but being promoted as first class for some reason)

Even within Microsoft’s own apps they can’t agree on UI conventions (e.g. are things round or square - Maps and other built ins use both).

On web you have to totally create UI from scratch, which usually means bootstrap or your company’s design system. Turns out windows desktop is basically the same, because apps have to create their own look from scratch - even Microsoft’s own native apps (Office, Visual Studio, etc) don’t use out-of-the-box UI.

Of course for new work Microsoft is mostly using Electron or WebView2, which should be telling (Teams, VS Code, etc). On the developers side, they’re pushing blazor, which is relying on electron or webview2 for the desktop story.
I have seen a some of analysis that suggested that as long as you are working with PWR you are not gone do a huge amount better economically.

It might be a little better, but we have to break free of water cooled reactor. It makes simply no sense as a design point. The only reason we have it is because it made sense for nuclear submarines.
The person that developed this trick is obviously familiar with the Mathematical properties of numbers. But this is the wrong approach from many prospective, including the impact to performance, the potential of under/overflow, and the lack of readability.
Depends what field you are in but generally later in your career you have more responsibility and requirement to spend more mental energy on work that you could have otherwise put towards looking after a kid.

If you are only expected to show up for your 7.5 hours and wack out a handful of lines of code a day you have way more mental and time capacity for family.
There are too many platforms now. Back in the day people would buy into the windows or mac ecosystem and it was all they had. You could build only a windows desktop app and sell it and have enough happy customers to make a living. Nowadays people expect your thing to be on their laptop and their tablet and their phone, so in practice you have to be on windows, android and iOS at a minimum, and probably macOS too, and linux for brownie points. And people often have windows and mac devices and expect you to be on both. Oh, and you better sync their data, so you need a server also.

So you need at least a server codebase, a mobile codebase (or two), and then a desktop codebase. Having to build at least three codebases instead of one is why you see fewer solo developers making a product and earning a living from it. And then for that desktop codebase, you can either build it twice for windows and mac, or you can just build it as a web app and maybe wrap it in electron for easy platform integration. The other cross-platform approaches don’t seem all that much more productive than web dev, so most people stick to web technologies for serving the desktop.
As a user, I am unsure that is a positive. There are near-daily stories about how feature X of a program was removed/hidden/etc for seemingly no reason. Using an offline only program ensures some UI developer does not get to swap buttons on me for "engagement".
There are a lot of changeable settings listed in those header files, chances are some combination of settings or other highly-tuned SDK usage could put the camera to work and potentially cause it to overheat (eg. forcing a specific shutter speed while also capping the movie shutter speed, perhaps) since they're not testing the use cases you could theoretically enable via the SDK.
Even OSX uses webviews for "native" ui: https://blog.jim-nielsen.com/2022/inspecting-web-views-in-ma...
Not illegal, just not binding.
I would agree that doing stunts is likely to damage a teams reputation, but I think you cast way too large a net to say that software engineers working on open source projects are professional, or even acting as professionals. The OSS ecosystem is filled with everything from large well run organizations to kids posting simple tools that are filled with bugs and vulnerabilities. There are no good expectations beyond use at your own risk. Even large professional organizations kill projects and leave people hanging.
I find DNMs fascinating and love reading about how founders are eventually caught.

> Opsec is incredibly difficult to get correct - especially in the long term

I'd say if you are doing it long term then you are doing it wrong. The longest surviving DNM by far was Dream which I speculate had some nation state backing it.
I've seen the sledding crow clip. It is funny to think about. For a human, part of the fun of sledding is the sort of controlled falling/almost flight-like experience. I guess that's old hat for a crow, so I guess they must see it from the other side somehow.
To me, realistic understanding implies that I'm most likely not a specific target of surveillance cameras around town. Those were not set up because of me, and there is no alert in some security office when I enter a camera's field of vision. I imagine most people think like this.

A bit besides the point, but my phone has a unique identifier associated with it that is constantly communicated to my operator. It also has tons of other tracking software I have no clue about. While this is something I'd prefer didn't exist, same logic applies here.

I'm not pro-surveillance, but pro realistic understanding of it. I know it's not great, but what can you do? Go around town filming people and creep them out thinking you're making a point when in reality you're just annoying people?
I use DBeaver a lot for Postgres and Mysql. I find it to be a great tool. Not as slow as other db clients, yet is full-featured.
The Sony mirrorless cameras used to have some third party "apps" that were pretty cool but apparently are now all discontinued. And what the Magic Lantern team did for Canon cameras (especially the 5DmkIII) was absolutely amazing. I still miss features to this day.

If you are looking for a new camera also definitely checkout the new Panasonic Lumix line of full frame cameras - they are damn amazing. Extremely intuitive UI, tons of features you do not find in other cameras, amazing video (especially with an external recorder - you can do 6K raw video) and built like a tank. And they all use L-Mount which is shared among multiple camera manufacturers with tons of lenses available from Sigma and others. The Panasonic lenses are pricey but also extremely high quality (probably because they also design super high end cinema glass)
Because they unlearned how to do it. Their managers unlearned how to even think about a product being shipped and installed on many different clients that are (gasp) not under our control.

Seriously, it's a loss of skills. Everyone is doing the "single installation target" SaaS nowadays, so naturally most developers lost (or never acquired) the skill to think in terms of installable software. I even met managers that had visible problems to contemplate a world in which different customers would run different versions of our product at the same time.

As a side effect of this loss of skill, software that actually has to be installed nowadays tends to come with ever worse installation methods. It's not unusual to see the installation method for software A make it impossible to install or run B.
> It's annoying that the politicians don't seem to think about this. Are they worried that they'd get fever votes?

They're probably worried about stated preference vs revealed preference. People say that they stand with ukraine and they're willing to make tremendous sacrifices to help ukraine/hurt russia. That might be true, but they might not be willing to actually pay the cost (eg. higher gas prices).
Same here, also with Aflac - had lots of emails, and actually managed to even speak to someone on the phone, with no use. Had to file complaints to every place I could find to complain for them to fix the issue - which was a totally trivial issue like they have requirement to have form called "Foo Bar" and the form my provider produces is called "Foo Baz" and it's obviously the same thing but since it doesn't have the same words they expect nobody dares to make that determination. Took me several months to get through it. Can't see any ads from Aflac that advertise instant cash payoffs without laughing bitterly.
What goes around comes around. Building a business off of git. Then someone builds a product off of your product.
> It seems to be a universal rule that somebody always has to come along to ruin the party. In this case, just as it seemed like there were no further obstacles to the removal of a.out, James Jones showed up to let it be known that he was still using a.out:

I find it surprising that the Kernel doesn't have a formal and easy way to know who is using what for the purpose of dropping support except to go fishing for complaints and hoping by chance nobody bites.

There should be something like a list of legacy features on kernel.org where people can easily subscribe to a mailing list which will ask for them to know if they still need the feature when there are plans to phase it out. A phase-out list so to speak.
no, they're not productive because they live off of goverment handouts. ANYBODY who takes more than they give is unproductive. Middleschoolers are unproductive, incarcerated felons are unproductive, people living off government grants are unproductive
wouldnt shutter control give the possibility of the image sensor overheating from extended exposures? I could absolutely be talking out of my ass but I thought I remembered that being a risk when I flashed ML to my Canon for star photos.
Why does everything need to be a subscription.

Sell me a product, like a JavaScript book or some merch.

Or just put up the donation link. I do want to give y'all money, but a recurring subscription is too much.
It’s also possible that this is happening at a different stage of call routing and that nothing is wrong on their end.
> If "time to ship" is actually important, than why do most companies go to the work of making three separate codebases for their applications - Android, iOS, and web?

They often don't. Loads of companies ship on iOS first and Android later. There are also widely used frameworks for building your app in javascript so it is the same code on both iOS and Android just living in WebViews.
I prefer pgadmin, especially now that they dropped the hard dependency on chrome (that was added semi-recently for version 4)
Ah yes, this story was amazing.

I didn't know there was a book, but there was a series of articles a while ago by the same author :
https://magazine.atavist.com/the-mastermind/
Yes, I'm sure. I actually a friend who used to live in Kyiv (now with his friends in Turkey, safe). And after a stint in the Ukrainian nightlife, he worked at a security company. He is visibly not Caucasian, and while he was confronted with more racism than in France, Ukraine is still less racist than Russia. Also, Zelenskyj wasn't invited to néonazi parties in Austria and wasn't used by European far right as an example and some kind of support.

So yeah, Russia started 3 wars, the US 2. The agresser is clearly Russia.
An aside on BFD, which doesn't seem to have come up, and I suspect relatively few people have read the History node of the ‘Binary File Descriptor’ Library manual on the back-constructed name: “The name came from a conversation David Wallace [gumby] was having with Richard Stallman about the library: RMS said that it would be quite hard--David said "BFD". Stallman was right, but the name stuck.”. [I gather that's ‘Big’, ‘Deal’, and something like an adjective.]
Information that is mathematically complete. I do not like when they choose to present numbers with the intent of convincing you of their point of view. E.g. the number of oil wells in city xyzzy has gone up 100%. (it went from one to two, but that is because the first is being replaced by the second one).
> I saw a crow (or a raven, never quite sure)

Assuming you mean it's difficult to tell the difference, as opposed to just in this case:

Telling them apart is fairly straightforward! Crows are smaller, have a flatter tail, and typically flap quite a bit during flight. Ravens, by comparison, are much larger in size, have a diamond-shaped tail that moves quite a bit during flight, and typically glide during flight.

Love the whole family of corvids :D as well as your story!
Combine this with an unlimited data plan and it's almost obvious that it is inevitable. We are becoming more and more reliant on smartphones for our daily life, for example carrying a covid pass, using it as a payment device, communication, navigation, etc. We are very close to have smartphones as much a necessary accessory to life in the modern world as a bank account, a car or keys to your house.

And for a lot of people Apple is only cutting the middle man with smartphones often being payed through expensive mobile carrier contracts anyway.
You can implement a hooks like interface in an afternoon. I don’t think I could do the same for Svelte’s compiler-oriented approach. Using a compiler means that Svelte is essentially a dialect of EcmaScript, which appears to be mutually intelligible but isn’t always. React used a compiler for JSX which also introduced a dialect, but JSX is optional and very straightforward sugar for a simple function call. The Svelte dialect is not so simple.

My experience is that people who know how challenging big, complex changes can be know better than to trivialize their difficulty when discussing them.
Correct. Whonix could be cloaked via a 0day in QEMU.
European magpies have been documented to hold wakes for fallen flock members. It's not impossible crows have similar bit undocumented ceremonies. They definitely have a rudimentary culture.
I am glad to have found someone suffering from the same issue. I have been stuck like this since the beginning of high school I think.

I live in the moment in the worst way possible as well. I am not looking looking at myself critically either. I do believe active rumination of conversations, events and what you learn is incredibly important, but for me I cannot do it whatsoever. Recalling a conversation in detail is almost impossible, it is like my brain is there to just hear specific things I can act on, such as "Jira ticket". I suffer from aphantasia as well as you. I think media, entertainment and browsing the internet has become a substitute for thinking, as it is certainly true for me. I do not listen or read critically. To me, that means constantly asking yourself what that person is really trying to say, what are they trying to lead you to believe, what assumptions are they making, and most importantly why they are saying it. I understand critical thinking and listening can be done, but I am just so passive in my thinking. I am definitely a digital addict as well, and I find myself going to ycombinator and reddit without any conscious thoughts, it is just a motorized habit.

I have not thought of doing daily attempts at introspection. I remember reading about how for some people their nightly habit was getting in bed and replaying the days events, and I had never thought of that until I read it. Usually I just zone out as much as possible trying to fall asleep immediately. I am a strong believer as you are that the brain is a muscle, and that what you do not practice you do not better in, at least when it comes to recollecting. I remember reading about how people revisited memories that made them happy, and I never do that. It makes me feel terrible to think how I could have been focusing on good memories, instead of seeming to have some primordial fear of ever accessing my autobiographical memory.

I know what you mean when it comes to remembering things people tell you. Someone I know used to say that if you forget it means you do not care, and it just made me feel horrible all the time. I have forgotten about many important things that I care about, and it pains me deeply.

I hope you find out your own solution to the issue.
