Neat. I tried it and (surprisingly!) found the icons too distracting.
Seems odd that the strap-line (on the repo and main site, not just here) doesn't mention what might be its distinguishing feature. I've seen several general comment plugins like this, my favourite being https://github.com/tessalt/echo-chamber-js, though not that sign the comments (as mentioned lower down https://licom.fly.dev/).

Though it doesn't say what use these signatures are put to (and I've not looked into the code). If there is no identity associated with the keys they don't prove the message comes from someone specific, just that the message hasn't been tampered with and came from the same person as other messages thusly signed.
San Francisco Renters Negotiate, and a New Law Makes Landlords Listen
Exactly, and when you're an American and you're in a cab in America that's the best case scenario -- you can probably avoid paying it with enough effort.

When this happened to me in Vietnam is was a pretty ugly situation. I'm not new to world travel, but the driver had the whole con down to an art (dubious toll fees, relationships with local law enforcement, etc) This was just before Uber came to Vietnam and I would never use a local taxi driver again regardless of cost.

Everyone in this thread who defends the airport cabbie cartels of the world must have not actually spent a lot of time around them.

The problem is that bitcoin is greedy.

Every 10 minutes, a new coin is minted. That coin is given to the person who solved the correct hash. The chances of being the correct hash is 1/n where n is the number of miners active.

So if I fire up a miner and I'm the only one, I get a coin every 10 minutes. Life is good. Now, if you want bitcoins as well, you can fire up your own miner. Now we'll both get a coin every 20 minutes. But I was making 6 coins an hour, now I'm making 3. My production is halved. That sucks. But. I can spin up another miner. Now I have 2 to your 1. I get a coin roughly every 15 minutes, you get a coin roughly every 30.

You see where this is going, right? More miners, more coins. And the only way to get value out of these coins is to sell each coin for more than electricity used for all of your miners.

So you're incentivized to not only use every available unit of electricity to mine, you are also incentivized to sell at exorbitant prices. Bitcoin will not switch us over to renewables. It will also use renewables if and when they become available. Bitcoin has also caused long dormant fossil fuel generators to come online again.
Just telling people to exercise self-restraint as a means to reduce fertility rates has historically never worked anywhere.

What Seattle learned from one year of electric scooters
Funny, because when I lived in the Dominican Republic, not a single one of the people I knew used Bitcoin to transfer money from the EU to the DR (and that wasn't for lacking of knowing people doing that.)

Meanwhile, overall computer literacy and even access to a computer was a massive challenge for many people in that country.
The problem with foundation wasn’t what you state. The problem is that they changed the story so much from the books that it doesn’t resemble them and they got the central theme exactly backwards.
They gave a IMO good overview of the difficulties of selling to a new country in a previous post :

> With our supply improving, you may be wondering when you can order a laptop if you’re outside of the US and Canada. We selected and are bringing up our worldwide warehousing and fulfillment partner, which is one very key part of the equation, but it takes quite a lot more than that to enable a complete experience in each country. Picking Germany as one example, we need German language keyboards, a Type F power cable, in-box paperwork and labeling in German, localization for the Framework website, support documentation, and checkout flow, support for local payment methods, calculation of Euro prices and taxes, accounting support for German income, creation of legally sound Terms of Sale, Privacy, and Warranty policies for Germany, CE certifications, a local Authorized Representative to back up the certifications, determination of HS codes and tariffs, an Importer of Record to be able to deliver duty paid, German-language in-time-zone customer support, reverse logistics and RMA support for returns and repairs, region-specific sourcing of off the shelf memory and storage, trial builds of German laptops prior to production, and back-end ERP infrastructure to tie all of this together. That sounds like a lot, but it’s actually a drastically simplified summary.

At least they have the shark, and can just lock it away if they wish. Something no NFT buyer can claim.
> This is exactly the same case as with bitcoin miners.

No: both types of organisation are looking at areas with cheap electricity and free cooling, but large internet companies are looking at area with stable polical regime and low carbon footprint. Bitcoin miners _could_ value that; they certainly loudly claim that they do. In reality, they don’t. They set-up shops in countries with cheap coal like China and Kazakstan. It sounds like areas known for their corrupt officials and no rules around dumping electronic waste have some appeal.

They don’t go where electricity is carbon neutral. You know how I know that? Because I live near a lot of hydro power, Arctic cold, where all the big players have their European data centers——and there’s no crypto operation here.

Bitcoin advocates are delusional and loves confusing their claims (like they could operate a trust-less financial network) with reality. But reality is still easy to see: crypto a collection of wasteful, polluting, short-term scams.
Maybe related with the desert dust that fell over most Europe just in the same weeks with the rains and could have some harmful substance or organism with them.

I assume that the Russians did not caused anything nasty in Chernobyl that we aren't aware still, or that the war didn't bring some nasty substances to Europe via clouds and rain but... trust but verify.

But the US cases are an outlier.

Such a person probably won't be using Xcode, nor has any plans of publishing to the App Store, so Xcode being closed-source isn't a factor at all here.

I wish this were true, but the minefield of the topic has grown out of the twitter-sphere. Check out this video uploaded just recently: [Health department refuses to define ‘woman’ in Senate Estimates](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DX_1QNXgjDM). Australia's own health department struggle and eventually refuse to answer the simple question. Look at how uncomfortable they are with such an innocuous request.

On similar trends, we are seeing once respected institutions, such as the ACLU, post tweets like this: https://twitter.com/ACLU/status/1439259891064004610?s=20 . It's a tweet of a quote by Ruth Bader Ginsburg. But the ACLU has decided to replace the word "women" with "people". This is a short step from what Google's new politically correct auto-suggestions are conditioning us towards.
If copyright was limited to human creators, then you'd have to track down and get a license from every single person who touched the pixels and code in the game rather than from the one corporate entity. That would be thousands of people in a modern game using a mature game engine.

Uranus got a reputation as a boring planet after the Voyager 2 flyby, but that was a least partially a generalization from a single datapoint. Specifically, Uranus was near solstice at the time, and as it has moved along on its 84-year orbit, Earth-based telescopes have observed its atmosphere becoming much more dynamic. That's one reason why scientists are so eager to see it again up-close, this time during a different season. See, eg. https://www.planetary.org/articles/20170621-revisiting-ice-g...

I find the GP's comment tenuous but I also find the environment-damaging rhetoric you and a sibling (and thousands of others) give on proof of work even more so. If you want to bite the bullet and say people shouldn't be able to pay for energy and do with it what they want, fine, but otherwise, price out the actual energy costs, and realize the purpose of such costs: security. Bank of America alone spends $1bn/yr on cybersecurity, bitcoin mining costs the world about ten times that. It's not that unreasonable. Another comparison is it's about 1/8th the US spending on cigarettes.
Nowadays it seems that simpler Heat Recovery Ventilators are the go-to solution. They're more straightforward crossflow heat exchangers, with no moving parts (except the fans, of course). Energy Recovery Ventilators are also available, built with a permeable interface to retain humidity as well as heat.
I would very much like to understand how it might be possible to improve on the conventional workflow for the work I am involved in. But I am not quite clear what agile as you implement it means, in contrast to v-model and waterfall, and how it provides advantages (I am guessing accelerated schedule?) to the process.

Can you refer me to any available online case studies etc, or provide me some more detail?

The sectors I work in we integrate off the shelf hardware such instruments, valves etc, we don't manufacture from components as such.
I think it should just read `tested` rather than `not tested`.

Thanks, I use both Mac and Linux as a host. Fusion is great for work stuff but in general I prefer VirtualBox because I can move around VMs to Linux.

If we're going to throw out baseless accusations, then why not the Ferrero candy factory that was ordered closed after failing to disclose a salmonella outbreak? https://nypost.com/2022/04/08/candy-factory-that-makes-kinde...

Same countries affected: "Spain, Britain, Ireland and United States" for the Ferrero case, and [UK, Ireland,] "Spain, Denmark and the Netherlands, as well as the United States" for the hepatitis cases.

But that's not what anyone's doing, or what anyone's going to do, with cryptocurrency.

Even if we assume (which is definitely not a safe assumption) that burning all that oil in the first place to mine the coins produces less carbon than the overall reduction caused by the increase in demand for solar panels and subsequent increase in their production and deployment (because just buying solar panels that were already being produced and going to be deployed by someone does not reduce the overall carbon load of the planet)...

That requires the miners to sink all their profits into buying solar panels, rather than, y'know, making money for themselves, which is the reason they're mining cryptocurrency in the first place.

I have a Lenovo X13 Gen 2 with a 16 thread Ryzen 5850U and 32GB of RAM. It’s about the most powerful you can get while still having a power efficient CPU under load. I spend all day compiling with all cores and battery is still around 8-9 hours with a 90% charging cap set in the bios to preserve battery longevity.

Linux works great on the AMD chipset but I had to replace the Wi-Fi card with an Intel AX220.

After buying the aftermarket Wi-Fi card and 2TB SSD, I spent about $1200. Build quality and dimensions are comparable but a little worse than the Carbon imo.

I am not calling you a contrarian -- few people can be defined with a single word -- but you do have a contrarian position here.

Your disdain for conservatives is palpable, and that is your business. The response some people have, especially nowadays, to even a whiff of conservatism is to reject everything out of hand often before reading or comprehending anything actually said.

It is tedious. Especially with the in vogue tactics of rewriting what somebody says into the usual talking points (both liberals and conservatives do this ad nauseam).

> you just keep repeating an argument that boils down to "change is bad because of change"

For the last time, that is _not_ the argument presented.

Try to read again carefully, without assuming I am a conservative, and better yet, without viewing everything through the prism of politics.

> than generically saying "it will harm the British defense posture". Why?

This should be your one and only concern. I hardly care where it fits in some provincial spat between liberals and conservatives.

Change is not bad, change is a fixture of life. Change for the sake of sticking it to your local political opponents is foolish short term thinking. Whether those subs are optimally placed truly has nothing to do with Scottish independence and the linking of the two subjects is due to myopic populism.

It is not difficult to understand how an external player could exploit these "cut off one's nose to spite one's face" feelings to get people to act irrationally. For example, Brexit exploited English conservative desires to stick it to liberals and moving subs exploits the Scottish independence movement and their desire to tell the English to get stuffed.

The winner in both cases is one and the same.

> You even fail to see that you are not really elaborating on the reason, which only adds to the feeling of bias.

Search your feelings better.
GNU Unifont at size 32 on 1920x1080 it's great.
Preference has nothing to do with it. We are not in the fashion store.

Scoop is way inferior by number of packages and stability. Mainstream chocolatey packages are embedded which means you don't need network to install them so you can cache them (artifactory, nexus...).

Even for networked packages Chocolatey has its own CDN that keeps them even when vendor removes it (its commercial though).

With scoop, as with brew and winget typically only latest packages work, packages are flaky, and 404 will be your constant friend. Since those package managers do not allow adding binary files they are for causal use, not professional.

I would like to use scoop, but as long as it functions like that, you can't rely on any package working in near future.
Not at all.

Sony's two mistakes were installing a rootkit if the EULA was refused and not mentioning some of the software in the EULA. Modern devices often invade more of your privacy, but they aren't doing it criminally.
that is not a reasonable conclusion from what the person you are replying to said. Bad faith comment.
You don't necessarily reach death spiral when you fail to stimulate economic/population growth, you still can make it up in productivity gains and if productivity outpaces population size loss, the net result is positive for the economy.

Also, in the event of China losing its preeminent rank in the global economy, another country/union will eventually fill its former role. Yeah, the transition might not be fast and smooth but the degree of built-in resilience in the global system will manage to get us through these unfavorable events.

I'll tell you why I care, and why I resent it: it's rent-collecting without risk-taking. It's a shining example of the frivolousness of modern office work. That the majority of it is filled with Bullshit Jobs. That if these positions disappeared tomorrow, the world would keep turning (and might even be better off).

That said, I myself am trying for such an arrangement, that is, multiple remote (bullshit) jobs.
I've done some, admittedly relatively shallow, thinking about the end results of "revolution" in various contexts, and the conclusion that I keep coming to is that revolutions only ever end up replacing the bums in the seats, whilst the position and structure of the seats remain.

I dabble in cryptocurrencies, but I can still see the inevitable inequality inherent in the rise to dominance of any one or small group of them.

I do have to say, however, that Vitalik Buterin says all the right things to appear as someone that does want to help the world be better. Separately to his creation which, if it dominated, would also not be a harbinger of equality for all.
This is something I’ve thought about and while I agree that a deflationary currency would be detrimental to our constant economic growth, I wonder if that’s actually a bad thing.
Do we really want constant growth and pointless consumerism knowing what it is doing to our environment? Maybe a deflationary currency would be good, as people wouldn’t want to spend it on frivolous things and only use it to buy things they really need.
I don’t really know where I stand, but I have come to doubt my initial concerns over deflationary money and I wonder what others think about such a radical shift.

I've been a dev for almost 20 years. Though a bulky laptop with finest specs would be great, I need mobility so I had luck with these three. Super portable, yet powerful.

1. Dell XPS 13

2. Lenovo X1 Carbon

3. HP Dragonfly Elite (current)

Regardless of the brand I always stuc with i7/16Gb and at least 512Gb NVMe storage.

One downside with my current machine (HP Dragonfly) is it comes with 8th Gen intel processor not really a big problem for me, but fan it a bit louder to my liking.

Coming to Linux compatibility I've used Dell XPS 13 and Lenovo X1 with no issues. Haven't tried Linux on the current machine yet.

I made this “sandwich” with a crumpet, polish mayo (winiary), marmite and sometimes a scotch egg and/or sauerkraut. It was disgusting, I mostly created it b/c it was cheap, but it was a staple of mine and a very British one at that (aside from the kraut). The polish mayo is an import but I’d still say very london at this point, I got it from sainsburys, but could just as well have picked it up from any number of polish stores. Anyway, marmite’s alright.

Humans write it. What would have stopped this appearing in, say, a newspaper in the 1980s was copyeditors and what happened in the last decade or three is that newspapers either fired their copyeditors or the papers were replaced by online equivalents which never had any copyeditors.

The copyeditor performs a number of functions, including fixing typographical mistakes like this and enforcing house style [e.g. a publication might choose to call it the internet, lowercase I, or it might decide television shan't be abbreviated TV even in the review section] but unfortunately the view today tends to be that this can be automated, which is not entirely true.

Of course even when newspapers all had copyeditors they weren't always as effective as you might like, which is why the British newspaper "The Guardian" is often called "The Grauniad" because it was so typo-ridden that people joked the masthead (a fixed piece of the paper similar to a logo) might even have been subject to such mistakes.
