I bet this is why the release a MX Master 3S as an minor update to the previous MX Master 3.. that only have bolt option..

I still have an MX Master 2 and i am considering getting this as a bundle, MX Master 3S and MX Mechanical..

For keyboard i currently have their G512 gamer and it bother me that it use a separated software from the MX Master 2, the keyboard use the Logitech G Hub while the mouse use the Logitech Options..

To be fair, I find editing YAML files not that bad, especially with VSCode checking the syntax and pointing out anomalies.

But it can be tricky to read other people's YAML files on GitHub. It's easy to miss subtle mistakes.
I would guess that you have never been made to remit money to someone living in a different country. There are multiple uses for a CBDC but this one is a low hanging fruit example. I have had headaches doing because of existing infrastructure. Wire fees + exchange fees
So treat socket access as one does Microphone and Web Cam access.
Yes, but nothing is saying this has to work for every codec. Since you want to retrieve the files using a special client, you could pick the codec you like.

But (almost) nothing prevents YouTube from not serving that particular codec anymore. This still pretty much falls under the "re-encoding" case I mentioned which would make the whole thing brittle anyway.

But it's indeed cool to think about. 8)
No. I wouldn't. Never used Terra, and I already said here that I never understood these "algostables" with no collateral.

As for "proof", you should've learned already that there is no such thing as "proof" with any of them. It's all about risk. For the fiat backed, the risk could be measured by the trustworthiness of the institution behind it and how they are managing the real fiat they have in hand. I'll risk them of my list if I hear that any of them is doing any kind of shady (we are collaterized by other assets that are not money) like Tether.

DAI and synths also have a non-zero chance of catastrophe, but at least this is mitigated by the over-collaterization. Synthetix requires something like 6x the SNX for each sUSD you can mint and their governance was not afraid to increase this requirement (and consequently reduce their sUSD supply) when their token went down.
Not to mention what the bacteria produce as a byproduct of digestion. Do they excrete C02? That would acidify and carbonate ocean water. Do they consume 02 as part of their digestive process? That'd suck oxygen out of the water.... Yes-- I would agree with - be vary wary indeed.
If I recall correctly, the stock market _only_ lost 90% of its value during the crash that proceeded the Great Depression.
Facebook opens political ad data vaults to researchers
There are about 50 muslim majority countries. Only 1 for the jews. If the Muslim world wanted peace they could have easily absorbed the few Palestinians and let the jews be happy in their small peace of desert land. Alas Islam has spread by the sword and peace is not what Islamic countries really want.
On my first job (in the beginning of the millennium) there was a limit on files you could download, something around 5Mb. If you wanted to download something bigger, you had to ask sysadmins to do that and wait... That was really annoying. So I and my colleague end up writing a service, that could download a file to local storage and chop it into multiple 5Mb attachments and send multiple emails to requestor.

After some time the limit on single file was removed, but daily limit was set up to 100Mb. The trick is that POP3 traffic wasn't accountable, so we continued to use our "service".
You have to break the infinite appeal loop somewhere. The constitutional right to counsel isn’t a right to the best lawyers in the business. Being licensed and able to legally practice is pretty much the definition of adequate counsel.
Read the manual

"there must be a well-publicized means of obtaining the source code for no more than a reasonable _reproduction_ cost, preferably downloading via the Internet without charge"

The software itself MUST be free, and the _reproduction_ costs reasonable.

You cannot add clauses that make me pay money or restrict my use. It must be free as in beer to use and redistribute either modified or in its original form.

When you pay for a copy you don't buy rights to use the open source software, you already had them. You buy the paper it's printed on.

And you can't deliberately make it hard for me to compile either.

Arguably nagware is that.

If you own _all_ the rights you can also release a version for cash, but if you then tell people that you are selling them open source software, and you sell them a version for which the source code is not freely available you are breaking the law/rules.

Even if that change is just removing the nagware.

Very cool but this feels like something that it will be cloned as an open-source alternative soon enough (a la Firebase -> Supabase).

Do you have any plans to do it yourself?
The CO2 is from decomposing food, not from plastic. The CH3 can be harvested, or it will breakdown on its own after a decade.
Lots of species evolved to survive the cretaceous paleogene extinction event, it still doesn't mean you should go on throwing asteroids on people because eventually some mouse will survive and reproduce to eat the plant who survived and reproduced.
"The occurrence of these substantial coal deposits 200 million years after the undisputed evolution of wood-rotting fungi sharply conflicts with the evolutionary lag model" seems pretty clear, as does the evidence of fungal decay in deposited coal.

The challenge with shelter is that it is fundamentally a positional good. Everyone wants to be within the x% most convenient, which is say, desirable, places to live. So as there are more and more people with more money to chase those limited "slots", they get more expensive. Making everyone worse off.

The solution is to massively build many more new good places to live; but there are also enormous forces against that.
I've seen dongles you can buy (I think in the $30-$50 range) that sit between your normal non-QMK keyboard and your computer. Then when you press a key, the dongle takes the keycodes from your keyboard, runs them through QMK, and everything works like your keyboard had QMK to begin with.

This is probably the route I'd go for a wireless board. I'd likely choose a keyboard that really has the wireless part down (Logitech is a decent option here, I think - the experience with their receiver is better than Bluetooth for input devices in my experience) and then run it through one of those dongles if I really wanted wireless.
Nobody has ever disputed that mechanization and intensive use of herbicides, pesticides and fertilizers will increase yields in the short term. But what we are currently experiencing are the long-term consequences, which together with the effects of climate change and the vulnerability of global supply chains pose a real danger to food security around the world.
There's lots of other research happening all over, but gets little attention probably due to non-existent or otherwise poor marketing beyond publishing papers.
This is absolutely correct. I have a worker function that takes ~200ms clock time to execute but most of that is waiting on I/O and doesn’t count against CPU.

Last I checked I think our median is 6ms (against a limit of 50 IIRC) on Workers Bundled.
Be careful what you wish for. Semi-decomposed plastic flakes might prove even more harmful than microscopic plastic particles.
I wonder how long that'll remain the case. This reminds me of the Utah monolith and the Sarlacc Pit in British Columbia - both of which were announced and shown in photo and videos but with the exact location undisclosed. And in both cases curious folks had IDed the exact locations via open source means and there were placemarks on Google Maps within a few days. Maybe it'll be different in China?

Depends on your state. In California, I think you are out of luck. Some companies give extra time off for jury duty, however.
Yep. A good old 19th century bank run, happening at the speed of light around the world simultaneously. It truly will be breathtaking how fast the entire crypto ecosystem will implode. I fully expect that when the dust settles multiple banks will be bankrupt and have to be bailed out too.

Probably not many. The advantage of plain old-fashioned radio is that the station doesn't keep track of the receivers. Whoever watches a YouTube numbers station is tracked six ways to Sunday.
Do you anonymize only the display name? If you do that, you should probably sub in a generic avatar or something.

I use my personal photo on Discord communities I'm involved in, so you could randomize the name but it'd still be obvious it's me.
The benefit of a gaming headset over bluetooth is reduced latency. Unless things have changed recently, the difference is very noticable.

The HyperX Cloud (wired) is actually a pretty good headset.
> but you could just overwrite the root cert that must exist in that binary somewhere with your own, right?

Unless they use certificate pinning, which is basically just verifying the CA's are not tampered with. Theoretically that could be attacked as well, but it prevents the "just replace the CA" case.
Linux on the desktop was similar to that in early 2000's: hardware, software and services were frequently not compatible. The IE monopoly made things even worse. Pioneers suffered, there are still some problems, but the landscape changed drastically because of those people. Some pioneers must be willing to change the world and pay the price for that.
Yeah... I wish Temporal had FaunaDB support. Seems like a great fit for globally distributed jobs.
> The whole thing was a pretty frustrating experience. And we haven't talked about the libraries, the OS (cooperative multi tasking, everything is a callback) or memory management ('descriptors' that made trivial string operations a pain).

My understanding, as someone who was peripherally in contact with Symbian in 2007-2011, is that the multitasking concepts were based on the Actor model [1]. This is indeed a kind of callback-based cooperative multi-tasking, but it fits very well in Symbian's tasks-as-C++-objects concept.

C/C++ strings are a nightmare from a memory-management and reliability perspective, so I can't blame them for doing it differently. However their tooling was indeed not up to the challenge.

> A big part of what caused humanity to stagnate for 2000 years post-Aristotle was the tendency to back-propagate discoveries and attribute new knowledge to the ancients. Aristotle was wrong. The Greeks were wrong about most things. That’s fine - we are too. Even if you can twist their conclusions in an attempt to reconcile them with modern constructs - their methods used to reach their conclusions very much missed the mark. Trying to give them more credit than what is due is how you cause society to stagnate for another 2000 years.

I disagree. Not that ancients can be wrong, but the idea that appreciating their knowledge held back society for 2000 years (I think it is just the opposite, as seen by how the rediscovery of Plato, Aristotle and Hermes catalyzed the enlightenment). If you understand Plato, you appreciate that it is a dialectic—there isn’t a singular truth presented, but provocations for thought. Now, Aristotle doesn’t leave so much room for that, but I’m less an expert on Aristotle than the Pythagoreans— who originated the four element theory, heliocentrism, emergence from a singularity and the notion that the world is composed of math, not matter.

For instance, the idea of the 5 elements came from the idea that there are only 5 simple Platonic solids. The simplest mathematical 3D shapes should be the simplest physical forms, right? And the geometry of their construction should lead to their material properties, right? They got this right— except that it took nonEuclidean geometry— atoms are composed of the simplest geometries (spherical harmonics in the electron shells) and their geometric properties do govern their material properties.

And, the universe did come from an ineffable oneness or singularity.

And the harmonies in the cosmos do derive from harmonies in basic mathematics.

It was precisely these ideas, when rediscovered, that led to Kepler’s discovery of the laws of planetary motion, kicking off the scientific revolution.

Their core method was dialectic. Their conclusions are modern science. Many other issues stagnated science — dictatorship, religion, economic collapse, war. Appreciation for ancient philosophy was almost always a basis for advancement of the dialectic, not dogmatism.
Right, rising wages is what most people demand of politicians.

But, there's two ways to get more of what you want:

1) rising wages

2) lowering costs.

#1 -> it would be nice but you can only squeeze so much blood from a turnip.

#2 has gotten far too little attention and has a lot of potential to do good, if we start pursuing it in a way that increases overall prosperity, not decreasing propsperity
We use AWS lambda for running slower background tasks triggered from a user action on a website (eg. generating a report, clearing and rebuilding a cache, etc...).

We deploy our full monolithic app to lambda (as a docker image) and then just have a wrapper entrypoint script that dispatches the request to the appropriate module and function.

There are benefits to keeping each lambda function small but we like the benefit of deploying one lambda and being able to call any function within the monolith.

Probation and in another region, though I was lucky enough to be in a core team and I was not impacted, it sadnesses me knowing about anyone else not as lucky as me.
Amazon has made substantive contributions to OpenTelemetry. Which, I suppose increases consumption of AWS in a roundabout way by ensuring people will not have a crashy, buggy mess when scaling up microservices, but doesn't directly drive CloudWatch consumption (because CW is not a differentiating, big-revenue-driving product, and OTel doesn't lock you in)
This reminds me of Blame! where humans are living light rats in the belly of the machine. Lol, also reminds me of the geocities days where we created 50 accounts to upload dragon ball z videos.
Let’s frame it differently. If you redistributed all wealth from just the top 1% today to all us citizens, each person would get 40T / 300M = $133K, which would make a real (and massive) difference in most people’s lives. Redistribute the top 10%, and everyone gets $320k in savings. This would be an average of 30x more savings for the bottom half than they’d have otherwise.

The biggest problem with your calculation is the arbitrary line of billionaires, which leaves out all the millionaires. The top 1% have wealth exceeding 40T, while the bottom 50% have sum total wealth less than the 4T you used for billionaires.

Another problem is dividing by 30, that’s not well justified. Half of all us wealth was gained in the last 10 years. Your calculation implicitly assumes you would redistribute slowly, but since you’re using a hypothetical, why would you do that? Why not redistribute all of it today and see if the sum is meaningful? It doesn’t make sense to redistribute slowly, regardless of how long it took to accumulate.

A third problem is leaving out income from the summary, since wealth is savings and the lower class has little. You conclude that $500/year sounds small but glossed over the fact that it represent savings not income, and that it would add up to a lot even in your setup.
Nice. Latent-diffusion has come out very traditional but the VQGAN/CLIP ones are fairly original.
As long as your abacus' LAPACK bindings are up to date, sure.
I'd love to move to a decent ARM-based desktop, but this won't be it. As much as I like macOS, sometimes I would prefer a Linux environment.
Erasure was a bad design choice. C# did the exact same upgrade (add generics to the language), but they chose to reify them and add them to the binary format, with a better overall result (IMHO). C# does not have platform reach that Java has, but there are a lot of factors at play there that go beyond language design choices.
I love it. It provides a set of strongly typed, canonical resources, built-in documentation via schema reflection, granular authorization (which is a huge comfort in large systems!), and a bunch of other stuff. For marrying to a front end, the strong typing implied by the interface (and ability to generate Typescript types) are invaluable; a change in my backend server code that breaks front-end code is immediately caught and surfaced by my compiler.

REST is still great, and it's hard to beat for simplicity, but I also don't consider it to be XOR with GQL. In systems that I already have GQL set up for and for which REST is appropriate, I like to actually build REST APIs as convenience wrappers on top of my GQL underpinnings - rather than a controller action being a set of authorizations, record loads, and transformations to JSON, I just execute a GQL query (in server code) against my schema and consume the result to transform it to the desired output. In practice, this is often what REST APIs are doing ad hoc, but being able to leverage all the guarantees provided by the GQL schema results in very simple, straightforward, flexible implementations.

GQL represents a large shift in how you think about the structuring of an application's API, but done well I consider it flatly superior for systems beyond the trivial because of the reduction in maintenance friction.
Mark Zuckerberg must pay for Cambridge Analytica data scandal, DC lawsuit says
Ah that’s a shame, but glad you’re enjoying other parts of the genre. I’ll admit, I played Arena and Daggerfall after Elite II: Frontier became one of my favourite ever games and I never bored of that either. I just enjoy having a sandbox to be in, the bigger the better. All games are pointless in the end and I find that a game that makes stronger promises to the player (dialogue, quests, items etc) feels even emptier to me once you’ve exhausted those options. Whereas a game that asks you to suspend disbelief at a lower level keeps on working for me.
Looks like it's all gpl 3 - so yes?

Are you writing low-level software, such as filesystems, or raw block backed database storage engines? If not, then that's definitely a decent maxim to live by.
> I think people fail to notice how similar a (non-fraud) tether model is to a traditional bank

That’s exactly what’s unethical about it. They’re operating a bank, but have skipped all the regulations and oversight that banks operate with.

I have no issue with Tether operating a fractional reserve deposit system, if they are subject to the same oversight (and insurance) that banks are subject to.
HDPE is used in both plastic bottles and freshwater plumbing (under the name PEX).
That's a pretty clever attack. It's clear everything can (will?) be exploited at some point, so it's usually down to features vs. user protection.

I don't know if raising wages alone will help. Increased wages will just make cost of production more expensive and raise prices or allow landlords to charge more for rent. What's more important is solving housing, transportation, and healthcare issues so people can satisfy those needs cheaply. Build more houses, improve urban planning and public transit, and create national healthcare.
What can be done about the civil war in Syria, Afghanistan, Myanmar. The drug wars in South America. The invasion in Ukraine. The re-education camps in China. The drought in Eastern Africa etc. etc. The list goes on and on. I honestly have made peace with the fact that it's not my responsibility to change the world. Whatever happens, happens. Let me make money and enjoy life.
Not quite sure what this is solving, doesnt stripe already allow you to query for data?

It is possible for many people to commit individual acts that when done alone are not a felony, but when combined as part of an organization are.

Convicting a mid-level manager of murder because he turned a valve on, when they to the best of their knowledge, had no idea it would result in 100 people dying in a fire would also not be justice - at least if the necessary records got lost by some lower level functionary somewhere else, and it never got fixed because an exec somewhere was prioritizing some other work elsewhere without having the records of how bad it was.

PG&E has 26,000 employees. Even with as screwed up as it is, the problem is the organization itself. Putting all 26k people in jail doesn't solve the problem either.
If all you want is a shack on some land you own, you could do that for much less than 80,000 man hours. Land in NE Arizona sells for a few hundred dollars an acre. There's no zoning and very little in the way of regulation.
I didn’t mean it as a definition, just as an instance. The “feigned empathy” is intended to make the recipient feel better (by making them feel empathized with), and in that sense is meant to be positive, but since it doesn’t address the actual objective of the inquiry, it instead makes the recipient feel like taken for a fool, aggravating any misgivings they may already have had, or generating ones in the first place.

Marx had a lot to say about this over 150 years ago...

the answer lies in that technology absolutely does make us more productive.

the benefits of that reduction in cost, however, tend to move upward rather than downward, at least when it comes to labor value.
