I don't suppose anyone could recommend a good text-to-speech for Linux?

Command line is fine but it would be much better if it could trivially take clipboard content for input. The last time I looked I found stuff that wasn't that great and was pretty inconvenient.
Apparently those random crashes were often caused by hardware memory corruption. I remember one manual basically said something like "if this error happens, don't worry about it, it probably won't happen much". And then you would see it for the third time that day.

> Originally I figured formatting to HTML, and then building a print-friendly HTML render would work. But this proved super challenging. [...] none gave me enough control to render just a single page of the original source file

Nothing like as powerful as your app and entirely tangential to the topic of ANSI escapes, but my preferred way to generate HTML from source code is simply:

vim +TOhtml +wq +q path/to/source/file.ext

That will save an HTML version at `path/to/source/file.ext.html` (conforming to my .vimrc's syntax settings, theme, etc) and I'm happy enough with my browser or system's print dialog to go from there.
How to Be a Mental Health Ally
Interesting that this happened in 2014. Wasn’t there an Astronomer in the 90s who predicted something out of the Oort Cloud beyond Pluto was approaching Earth? Something like it was 50 billion miles away in the 80s and then only 7 in the 90s?

I can’t seem to find information on it. Seems interestingly related, especially with the following interstellar objects in 2017 and then 2019 iirc.

I wonder if they are Goemboek Shape based on the ʻOumuamua description.

Blender UI used to be awful, but nowadays it's better than the competition IMO (especially Maya)
Agreed, I didn't get into it in the original comment because it's a pretty deep topic obviously but the idea of "having power" is an extremely shaky description at best.

From an outside perspective it really seems like the DUP have painted themselves into an extremely weird corner with Brexit and their new demands that looks increasingly like it was a fatal strategic move for them from a political point of view. You already have the UVF claiming to no longer respect the GFA and it's all rather unclear where they go from here.

For me, the most interesting aspect of AR would be interfacing with all sorts of electrical appliances on an AR HUD.

The device could emit a simple API and UI description in some standard format and the headset would take care of the rest - basically the Horizon: Zero Dawn approach.

The more powerful appliances the more complex methods of interaction could be exchanged between it and the headset.

No electrical appliance would be limited anymore by having a terribly designed touchscreen LCD or press button menu system.
The front end of all mechanics shops I have been in for the past decade look just like the waiting room of a doctors office.

In reality, mechanics do book keeping, track inventory, take order, organize excel files, and ask customers to sign contracts just like any other business. Thus their front ends look just like any other.

Jailer – Data Browsing
>It would be very interesting to find out how much data Amazon has on pirated books being uploaded onto the Kindle.

I don't see how Amazon could know for sure. I have never uploaded a pirated book to my Kindles, but have uploaded dozens of books via Calibre, either public library books that aren't available in native Kindle format for some reason, or obtained elsewhere (notably Tor.com's regular offers of free ebooks).
The thing that I’m most looking forward to: the ability to have multiple drives of different sizes, and expand the array with new oddly-sized drives (great for a homelab NAS built of spare parts; btrfs can do this, but zfs can't), combined with being able to set some drives as caches (eg having the filesystem automatically store frequently-read data on an SSD and rarely-read data on HDD; zfs can do this, btrfs can't)
Isn't a library like this essential for companies that build e.g. active speakers which support streaming from Spotify?

I think you, and damn near every other person on the internet hand wringing about this kind of stuff, vastly, vastly over estimates the conversion rate between "shitty bike with more power than it probably should have breaks something" and "mows down some elderly lady"

And you're also over-estimating the number of people who will care when that conversion happens. Because odds are when someone does have a mechanical failure and mow down an elderly lady it will be preceded by a bunch of stupid decisions not having anything to do with that mechanical failure and contrary to what you may believe based on HN/Reddit/Twitter commentary, the general populace is well aware that you can't legislate away stupid.

And as others have said, there's a mechanical aptitude bar to entry for using those kits that make them less common than you're implying they are.

Smil does find himself in a target-rich environment and attacks with abandon.... Again, neither an optimist nor pessimist.

I'm a bit over 3/4 through MotF, which is quite a read. Francis Fukuyama reviews that and Neal Stevenson's Termination Shock (which I've not yet read. And his principle criticism of Robinson is that the book is far too optimistic:

While there are some dramatic responses in the book, like the kidnapping of the Davos crowd and assassinations of oil executives, the book imagines what is in a way the best possible future outcomes. The eco-terrorist campaign and attacks on airliners do not trigger massive repression (people, it appears, don’t mind giving up air travel); five million people march spontaneously on Beijing and compel the CCP to speed up the energy transition; the crisis becomes the occasion to implement universal basic income around the world with no adverse consequences for the economy apart from a six-month recession; and the various attempts at geo-engineering all work as planned and produce no unanticipated effects.

https://www.americanpurpose.com/blog/fukuyama/two-futures/

I'd make a similar response to Fukuyama as to you: KSR wrote a specific book with a specific point in mind: if you want a survivable outcome, then events would need to play out largely as he suggests. KSR isn't arguing that this is the probable or plausible path, but that it's the necessary one.

(It's also very much a vehicle for advancing KSR's political views, which is another discussion. That said, as a minority opinion, I think the airing is well-deserved.)
Blender and Inkscape's UI/UX improvements have been wonderful.

git couldn't take .gitignore into account when deciding to look at .gitignore, even if it wanted to, because it's not read .gitignore yet. It's like "Is 'No' the answer to this question?"
There's a resurgence in general against the "bloated web" where a chunk of people move back towards primarily text-based sharing of information and simplicity.

This drive is expressed in many different ways both in the frontend and backend. In a way, static site generators were a reaction to complex CMS systems. Another expression is people going back to retro design using only basic features provided by HTML / CSS with minimal (audio)visual cues. Or even just publishing text.

Then there's people who feel that even HTTP and HTML are bloated themselves, and move away wholesale from the Web towards a parallel world which has been coined by some as "smolweb" or "dorkweb"

see: https://thedorkweb.substack.com/p/gopher-gemini-and-the-smol...

A major catalyst is the Gemini protocol which emerged a few short years ago and gained some popularity. In the wake of that, people re-discovered the Gopher protocol as well.

I think these communities are niches driven by similar motivations as, say, aficionados of BBS systems or ham radio. That is, the aspect of tinkering, being in control and not being hampered by complexity and inherent restrictions. Plus the ability to create an independent community of like-minded souls. And, sure enough, a sense of nostalgia as well.

One could note the quaintness associated with this resurgence, but it's tied into a philosophical debate regarding online freedom and privacy as well. Unlike the Web, these protocols lack all kinds of affordances making it far harder (but not impossible) to track people across the Gopherverse or the Gemini space.
Why Luxury Is the Only Moral Use Case for NFTs
Yes, that uses the non-public API for smart speakers and the likes. If and how Spotify can crack down on this is not well known at this point, but here's hoping they're using API keys from an old but popular device that's no longer receiving updates.
> > ^? is the code for the [DEL] or [DELETE] key on physical terminals, that's why it's an ASCII standard.

> When the PC bucket keyboards came, IBM in their usual idiocy simply put the [BACKSPACE] key where the [DELETE] key normally is, and what's worse, they made it not only move back one space but delete too. Thus came the sadness of everlasting redefining of deletion to be ^H when using a PC bucket keyboard.

Indeed. And to confuse things even further, the [DEL] key on IBM keyboards sends the following ANSI escape sequence: [27 91 51 126]

So we now have 3 different standards for deleting characters (and that's before you start looking at the escape sequences for deleting rows, nor supporting vi and/or emacs/readline bindings).
Well, while this is very interesting research, the title of the paper is a bit misleading. They way I understand the paper, their network is specialized in multiple domains, but that doesn't make it a generalist. Clearly there is a lot of potential, but skimming through quickly, I didn't find much about out of domain data. Generally, I think nomenclature in the ai world is horrible. A mishmash of different academic disciplines and hyped keywords. Attention isn't really attention (more like association), generative adversarial networks aren't really adversarial (they are designed to work together in the end), ...

There's a pretty well-developed waste-stream sorting technical capability now, though the best time to disaggregate is prior to disposal (e.g., different recycling bins), or barring that, on collection (where much does happen).

In practice, the economics of recycled material resale are poor (IMO a market dysfunction), and the effort is often not cost-effective. That's highly unfortunate.

Tip scavenging is also a well-established informal labour niche in low-wage societies. Again, with high negative externalities and societal costs. Again, unfortunate.

As an N=1 sample point, I've programmed in Rust for years now, extensively using generics, and have not once ran into this issue.

That makes no sense. There are a ton of great image editors always striving to do better in the same domain - Affinity, Paint.NET, Photoscape, Canva, etc.

I think there's alrrady research for "TTS after NLG" that does this, since a NLG system can export meta-info about emphasis, in addition to the text (at least in case of non-end2end NLG systems).

There is a lot of bad lisp code out there, especially these days (most open source projects in CL are more about look how smart I am but by themselves are mostly terrible code).

But I agree with your first point, the _older_ lisp programmers may very well be the ones that kept at it and honed their skills while the poorer programmers jumped ship before then
It's really hard to construct an example of a market based electricity grid collapsing (ie. any time where demand != generation), unless a majority of market participants act irrationally to lose money.

In fact I believe it is impossible for collapse to occur, even with irrational market participants, if you add one more requirement: All players must prepay for all electricity they use/generate, and anyone whose prepay balance falls to zero is immediately disconnected from the grid.
No, since -x means to “disregard standard ignore rules”, such as .gitignore and .git/info/exclude.

It is, however, probably not a great idea to use a device that hasn't had a security update for several years.

Even if you were using a custom ROM and trusted that it was correctly patched (which is a big if) then there's hardware exploits on the Snapdragon 820, and I imagine there are probably similar on the Exynos 8890. Some of these can't be mitigated by software.

It's true this is how it would work if you are treating BTC as a traditional asset and creating dollars by loaning the same deposits out multiple times.

But for BTC you can't do this. If they have 100 BTC deposited from all their users and then try to loan out 101 that 101st transaction is impossible because the bitcoin isn't there.

> [1] In order to have this info, you should either interview semi-regularly or at least have a network of colleagues in similar roles who are sharing market info with you.

I do, in a domestic market. But the issue I'm struggling with is competing in a global remote market. I don't think anyone has a global network of colleagues that knows salary base ranges for every country in the world, and yet that's effectively the market.

So you can be user1 and user2@ without the site being able to tell from the authentication process alone. (Obviously cookies, IPs and other side-channels exist, but if you protect against that, FIDO won't give you away.)
I think most people seriously underestimate the development effort a usable general purpose OS takes. It's actually global scale and the few companies still having their own can only do it because they captured large parts of the global market. And even if we ignore this, if someone comes up with objectively better apis, linux can just have a 80% solution with a few new syscalls (e.g. cgroups or io_uring), and the rationale for their potential users evaporates.

It's remarkable how the data pipeline in almost all companies converge to the same architecture:

* You have services emit data into streams.

* You dump the streams into your storage with high frequency so you can have near real-time result, this process will create many small files.

* Because small files are inefficient, you have compactors that run over the small files and merge them into bigger files, and/or delete records that's obsolete.

* You run a query engine that read over the small files and large files to get the final result.

* To speed up step 2,3,4 you store the metadata of the files in-memory / in a database.
I was aiming for pseudo-code. You can write it in C, but it's a little less readable due to the lack of first class lamdas.

Anyway, stuff in .gitignore can still be added to the index if you so wish.
A SIDS Study Became a Media Train Wreck
Logical changes aren't necessarily partitioned by file. Very often I find they are not. I might make a feature or fix or cleanup that is say 10 related changes that each affect some subset of say half a dozen files, often even the same code multiple times.

Adding individual files can help partition out some changes, but it's very rare for me, it's much more often I have to go back and manually shuffle sub-file changes around if I didn't get the splits right the first time.
