> Okay, except this is nothing like that. Computer programs can have defaults. When you don't like the default, you go to the settings screen to change it. If you don't want to deal with settings, you never have to open up the screen.

This is possible, but never as easy as it sounds when written down like that. Even when advanced settings are tucked away out of sight from regular users, at the kind of scale OS X or iOS operates in (or Linux, for that matter), there will be a non-negligible number of people who by accident or intent fool around with the advanced settings and get themselves into a state from which they lack the expertise to extricate themselves.

This is why Apple layer their own UX on top of Bluetooth, for example. And why many settings have no UX, you have to know the magic incantation to use in Terminal.

This incarnation, pun intended, has greater sway amongst the elites and those in the position of promulgating and legitimizing these positions. It’s a bit concerning that these aren’t your traditional uneducated proles espousing these views but rather highly educated elites. This is what we call ideology. It's not out of "provincial ignorance," for example.

That's not particularly close to what I said. I am talking about the outgroup being able to participate in the "public square of free expression", in a way that is actually free for them to speak to the ingroup.
The issue is that isn’t close enough for anyone else.

Right, because your strawman is your problem.
It sounds like you're not really buying a house, but you're buying space. Acreage is expensive and it will only get more so because it's literally impossible to create more of it. You can build housing vertically and put them as close together as possible. You can't magically make more land.

The vast majority of people won't be buying acres of land. Nor should they, it's not sustainable.

I recently ordered new deadbolts for my house and I chose ones (kwikset 980) that were defeated quickly by LockPickingLawyer. His video actually caused Consumer Reports to pull a recommendation of that lock.

My reasoning was:

- Lockpickinglawyer basically gets into everything (I guess except the Abloy being discussed in these comments)

- These locks were affordable for ANSI grade 1

- These locks are user re-keyable (I was looking at schlage B60N - affordable and nice, but basically would have had to pay a locksmith to get keyed alike)

- Lockpickinglawyer's video showed me a much more complex mechanism, and picking process, than a standard pin tumbler lock

I think a lot of people take his videos and have the binary thought process "lock was defeated therefore the lock is crap", but if you watch enough of them there is a lot of nuance. He defeats high security locks that are nevertheless robust and tricky enough to trust on your front door.

This too shall pass I guess, politicians and promoters like Musk come and go. They have always existed.

The main point is that they don't love the game of business and capital allocation per se, but the praises and people genuflecting to them.

In search for ever bigger praises and genuflections they overplay their hand and fall as fast as they rose to the top.

If a true lover of the game such as Buffett can manage to stay healthy for 5 or 6 years more, he'll get to see the eventual demise of Enron Musk, let's hope he can make it.

There is this interpretation of Bayesian networks that the parents are the true causes of a node and to predict what happens if you change a variable you need to remove the edges from the parents to that variable from the network. And then I study what you can do with that method
"Billionaire" doesn't need a prefix yet and it'll certainly be a while before we get any megabillionaires, aka quadrillionaires.

I just recently purchased a Tascam DP-008EX which is a small, portable (even runs on batteries), 8 track recorder that is entirely self contained. I love it. I want to completely remove the computer from my music process because I find it distracting. This is a great way to do it which harkens back a bit to the older 4 or 8 track cassette recorders but this has some nice built in stuff like phantom power, reverb knobs on every track, etc.
In India, inr 500/day seems to be the minimum wage these days for unskilled labour. Inr 500= $6.25~

The 3.75/hour is literally more than what many skilled workers make in India. 3.75880=2400 inr. For 20 days =inr 48,000. Annually 576,000.00. To put that into context,

In India you are exempt from paying income tax if your annual income is less than inr 500,000. That covers like 95% or something of india population so if Indians get this job, many many people will get to earn a good bread
Except if you choose simple and lean software/protocols. And those won't be immutable: what's immutable would be their simplicity not their specs.
You are correct, 4.10. it's been a while and I forget which month Warty was.

For me, Ubuntu has too many old packages, so it's too unchanging. The 6 month span is plenty for stability for me.

To me stability revolves around stuff breaking between updates, or installing packages causing incompatibilities that eventually degrade the system. I had a lot of that with Manjaro.

While Ubuntu has little of that, it's also too safe, too behind. There were so many times I needed a slightly newer version than what Ubuntu offered, so I would need to hunt for PPAs, manually maintain Deb files, or find other means of keeping stuff up to date. My sources.list.d would be littered with extra repos.

Fedora is a lot more up to date, their repositories are a lot more filled out. I found stuff in the repos that is not in the Ubuntu repos. They are usually fairly up to date, or at most x.x.1 behind kind of thing.

* 2 years is too old. Might be stable but outdated.

* I have had no problems with proprietary drivers. Most of my machines are amd GPUs, but I have a Nvidia 2070 laptop that works fine. Just installed from dnf and it works.

* I haven't hit any 3rd party driver needs. Printers, PC components, accessories. They all work fine without third party drivers. But it could also be because Fedora has a more up to date kernel.

Anyways, I value a balance of up to date software, stability, and just getting out of the way. Which Fedora, especially Fedora 36 that I'm using, does better than Ubuntu and it's derivatives do.

I will say, I just recently switched to Fedora after last trying it many years ago and hating it. I had a bit of hate for the RPM world since old Red Hat Linux days before I made the jump to Ubuntu. So it might be a honeymoom phase, but I'm so much happier with Fedora than the Debian based ecosystem.
See LockPickingLawyer on Youtube, but basically every lock you can buy in a store is full of zero days. The only thing keeping them "safe" is most criminals are to lazy to learn the known zero days by watching a Youtube video or three and practising a little.
Any language with metaprogramming like operator overloading so you can create an ergonomic ORM, basically.

For such a language to be reasonably productive you want to be able to overload "mystruct.myvar" to not simply grab "myvar" from memory, but smartly fetch it from a remote database, cache it, etc.

It will never be perfect (blah blah impedence mismatch) but a proper ORM is so much more productive and readable than writing crap like `Manager(mystruct).GetAttr("myvar")...` or bespoke SQL composition.
McDonald’s already has self-order kiosks. While you can still order from the standard cashier, most customers opt to use the kiosks. I suspect automation will be accelerated by the “great resignation” and the recent push for unions.
> Also there's the recording medium problem, which is the same as my work medium - a laptop. I would love to hear some suggestions how to turn this around.

I've been thinking about this a lot lately. work is on the work laptop on the couch, personal is on the personal laptop on the couch. desk goes mostly unused at the moment, but music gear is surrounding the desk.

here's my current line of thinking:

* work on work laptop on the couch

* personal laptop moves to desk, where monitors and music gear live

* personal couch work gets moved to iPad Pro to be purchased, so different form factor

I think I'm stuck on the iPad Pro right now, because FOMO in 5 months, but otherwise I think I have my next steps figured out.

Religion, cults, billionaires, and corrupt politicians.

I'd have an app that tracks all funds of wealthy and when it hits 1 billion: congratulations you win at life, now you get to go join the rest of the billionaires in hell.

As for religion, I'd prove I exist and also tell people if you even try to worship me, you'll go join the billionaires.

Anyone even seeming a bit tyrannical, oligarchical, or influenced by special interests and greed will also join billionaires. I might give a warning if they mean well, if they're like Putin or Kim Jong Yun, nah.

He only seems to defend Maori knowledge insofar as that knowledge was derived from informal scientific experiments.

> I do take issue with one sentence in original letter by the seven scientists: “Indigenous knowledge may indeed help advance scientific knowledge in some ways, but it is not science.” As a blanket statement this is not strictly correct. Some indigenous knowledge is scientific in nature. Surely indigenous people’s survival depended on empirical examination and trial and error testing associated with a variety of natural phenomena, including: which plants were beneficial or harmful to eat, which might provide useful medicines; how the detailed migratory behavior of animals that might serve as prey would impact on hunting success, tidal variations and annual weather cycles, to name just a few.
CNN is a big winner as well, they can continue posting their disinformation on twitter.

You don't necessarily have to replace the whole door frame, you can buy an aftermarket frame reinforcer like Door Armor to distribute the force of a kicking attack (which is a lot more common than lock picking) across the frame. You can also make sure to get thick strike places and long (3") screws to make sure the door latch and deadbolt are sliding into things that are actually screwed to the house framing rather than held in by tiny screws that will just rip out with a good kick.
Personally, I like this. I've since gone linear, but, when I was a fan of tactile keys, my favorites were the ones that placed actuation just before tactile feedback. That allowed me to type much more lightly, because I only had to press enough to get to the leading edge of the tactile bump.

I did once love my Model M, but it's more tiring to use than newer keyswitch designs are. Pushing enough to actuate the key means building up enough force to buckle the spring, at which point there's not really anything I can do to avoid bottoming out. It's sort of the double IPA of keyswitches: really, really, really good in small doses, but not necessarily something you want to be experiencing for 8 hours straight.

How do you keep apps from accessing other apps' data on linux? By creating separate user accounts with limited permissions for the apps to run under, right? Same deal here. Except that in urbit, "different user account" implies that it's running in a separate VM.

I'm not arguing with you, just trying to answer your questions. If you want to make really damning accusations about how awful urbit is, it will help to learn more about how it works :)
It should be illegal and I really don't think it's legal, but that's up to a judge - that there isn't a specific law that says "exactly this is a crime" doesn't mean there isn't a more general law that applies.

For example where I live there is a general law about harassment and it's broad enough to cover this case, to have that Twitter account closed, and to have the person tried at criminal court and at the very least fined and put under supervision, if not imprisoned - if it happened inside this jurisdiction, of course.

It doesn't matter at all if it's from public sources or not. A lot of things are in the public now - because of careless data handling, due to leaks and hacks, and a lot of information is easily retrievable with social engineering. Making a special Twitter account that automatically announces every move that a person does with their vehicle is really way out of the norm.

Our society should not accept this, not even if the target is a rich person. How do you expect people are going to behave to poor people if this is how they're allowed to treat rich people?

I’m sorry this is so vague, I’m in transit right now; so I’m a little lazy to try to Google this from my phone - but there is some sort of proxy-type thing for these old Macs that allows you to use the ‘modern web’, to an…extent?

I think it kinda works the way Opera Mini does or something, if that makes sense?

It does totally solve the HTTPS issue. You could easily access HN using this method through even Netscape.

There is also - I want to say - again pardon me if I’m wrong here, but I believe it’s called ‘Classzilla’?

This is for - AFAIK - at least MacOS 9 (you might be screwed for 8, though) and does old.Reddit.com pretty okay for me as long as I have enough RAM in the unit, so it should also handle HN totally fine.

I actually think it - along with, unfortunately; an absolutely incredible modern Firefox port for PPC Macs running 10.4/10.5 called ‘TenFourFox’, are now abandoned - but very much still available.

It was a pretty big hit to the (admittedly small) PPC Mac community when it happened.

I personally still use TenFourFox almost every day as I use my PPC Mac collection often for various tasks, especially my quad G5 that has 16GB(!) RAM.

(Yeah, a PPC Mac with I believe 2 processors/4 G5 cores at 2.5(?)ghz, 2 512 GB SSD’s and 16GB of RAM. There is literally no better way to experience the heights of the PPC Mac days. So cool.)
