functional,

Nonsense. I use w3m for browsing and much more than 90 percent of the
web works fine. Fully 100 percemt of "the internet" works fine,
because that has nothing to do with JavaScript. Please stop
over-dramatising and catastrophising as a way to throw cold water on
what is a very good security practice. More than one medium security
environment I've worked in recently don't allow js (although
admittedly the sites we are allowed to access from there are limited).
This company is probably going to go under. Huge severance is going to eat into their already short runway. Sometimes its just not there. And most of their engineers are highly capable, they will be fine. Its part of working for a high tech startup.
I hate when people get angry riled up over hypothetical scenarios that will not happen
Modifying crops to be pesticide resistant is a problem because it makes use of those pesticides less discriminate. We should be trying to move towards not spraying as much as possible to avoid runoff and increase biodiversity. GMOs can help with that too. We can't group all modifications together in the good vs bad buckets.
Don't Starve Together on PS4, me and my gf have hundreds hours on it.
I found getting everyone’s phones to connect a little cumbersome too. This was a year or two ago though, maybe they’ve fixed some bugs.
I'm specifically talking about new reddit. Old reddit is fine. Old reddit basically just has a <textarea>.
Where did Tor come from, again?
There are already so many comments here, but I would pay $150 for rocksmith built for piano
This is completely different architecture and services, largely open sourced. This is limited to Go and the dev team.

Most likely these errors would manifest down to the users of Go and those who've a dependency which lives on sourcehut
That's a good point, need to remember all of the work the mods do.
without knowing anything about this situation outside of this thread and the post it links to, it comes across as willful negligence to screw over someone who was a bother in past community transgressions
Excuse me, but there's an enormous difference between working with erroneous source material, and making factual errors when the correct data are already and widely available.

And, I reject your repeated assertions that because you have historian friends, you are somehow more qualified to speak on the topic than one who does not. That type of clubby gatekeeping is frankly toxic to society and you should abandon that sort of thinking immediately.

It's really mostly the cities, outside of the city management is really secondary (at least in Caesar and Zeus which I have played the most). I strongly recommend the whole series, they are really great games.
I'm aware of FlavrSavr as my line of work is plant genome engineering. My response was to a comment which was presumably directed toward the article that was posted. In that article, the new tomato variety is not engineered in a way to affect shelf-life. Besides, per acre, almost all of our GM crops are engineered for producers' benefit. Out of the many registered GM varieties, only a small handful are associated with something other than pesticide resistance, Bt, or environmental resiliency.
Phones and tablets are just locked down computers, not appliances. Do you want your laptop to be like that? Why not? Why is that any different than your tablet? Spoiler: It's not.

Some people only have access to tablets and phones. Let them have the freedom we had to create something. With that freedom, maybe one of them grows up and creates the next Apple, only without the cruelty and greed.

On top of that, it would reduce waste.
VRchat is a great example. There is also Altspace VR. Though that is PC only. Pavlov VR is an fps but some of the maps are experimental and interesting.

The most cost effective way to get started is a quest 2. With a link cable you can use it as a pcvr headset as well.

It does however require a Facebook account.

One place you can look for some of the more unusual content on the quest is https://sidequestvr.com/
Well, no, obviously not. The Ghibli movie is a takeoff on the Borrowers series by Mary Norton; there is no reason to believe tetris11 had the movie in mind rather than the books he referred to by name.
I mean, I don't have JS enabled for HN, although I don't know if you count that as "major".

But I'm not really keeping track, honestly. If I come across a website that isn't working with JS, I make the decision "is this worth allowing JS?". Sometimes the answer is yes, sometimes it is no. Often it means enabling the first-party domain to run JS but no others.

Conveniently, some of the paywalls on various news sites don't work with JS, but you can still read the article. So that'd be some of them that arguably work better without JS.

I don't use Tor for everyday browsing, only for the times I need/want it. In those cases, the equation always equals "no JS" -- that's the reason Im using Tor in the first place.

It's a balancing act, as all security always is.
Duskers was like this for me.

Is it possible to tell if a user came from DuckDuckGo?
yeah. lots of companies already froze hiring (firing through attrition). Bolt doesn't make a trend but it gets my attention.

True, though I don't think a "Q" from a client doing a fetch involves as much work as a "Q" from a client doing a full clone.

It seems like this Git hosting service's workload-per-Q has increased due to the Go proxy change, which (IMO) is a cause for concern.
Ed Snowden said to turn off the fucking scripts.

So I did.

Most of the web works fine.
Interesting, so are you saying that the RAW signal coming from the hardware is already often compressed even before hitting the main software compression?
The pandemic was a big one. I was already getting tired of the 0 effort posts on Reddit. Once the pandemic hit, it seems like that kind of behavior exploded. I left and haven't looked back.
I started prototyping something very similar to this but was going for a singleplayer thing to start where you control one ship at a time. The hard parts I bumped into were: 1) the scale of space doesn't play nice with Unity C# floats 2) the scale of space doesn't play nice with the player's time 3) Switching to a language I'm comfortable with that solves both 1 & 2 means I would have to go back to school to learn how to write a physics & collision resolution engine or learn a new engine & language.

In any case good luck on your project because the idea you have is basically the same as mine and has been a dream game of mine for many years.
Anyone have a Windows, Linux, and/or Android alternative?
I agree a man can travel a whole lot just by taking small steps on a regular basis.

However, I am not sure it was that easy.
- It will be easy if the map was laid out, they unlikely had any sense of where they were going those days, so to cover a hypothetical straight-ish line distance of 5500 miles they probably had to travel 10000 or maybe many many more miles
- It will be easy if there were roads like now, they unlikely had very rough terrain - much denser forests, way uneven land, wild animals
- They probably had to fend for food on a daily basis which would distract from an orderly journey of 10 miles a day

This is not to say it could not be done, obviously it seems like it was done, and the journey probably took closer to the higher end of the extremes mentions (18 months vs 30 years) and that too mostly by happenstance.
Perhaps you can post a photo of what you're looking for? Because your instructions aren't super clear :)
I would pay for a Rocksmith that could accurately capture my playing. I love the game but for more difficult songs, it's impossible. There are very complex passages that I know I'm playing correctly that have notes that are just not detected. It's so frustrating that I've quit playing the game entirely.
Malicious behavior would come back to byte the author and his users & business
Investors in startups value a company based on the likelihood that they can pawn off a money losing company either to the public markets or an acquirer.

That doesn’t help now that the public market doesn’t have an appetite for companies that aren’t profitable.

So if retail investors aren’t interested in non profitable companies, there is no profit it in it for investment bankers to flip the stock at IPO to take advantage of a “pop” meaning that VCs are less interested in throwing good money after bad.

How have the former “unicorns” focused on “growth” fared in the last few years?

For instance DoorDash couldn’t make a profit during a worldwide pandemic when everyone was ordering takeout.
Wow. How'd they make you pay upfront and still make you wait & vest? This makes no sense.
Arrietty is based on the book.
not a bad tool but you get ~90% of the same functionality with podman, it doesnt need to run as root, and it supports user scoped service definitions and control in systemd.
Hey @HidyBush! No, YouTube does not reliably include spoken word/transcript matches in search results. I've run tests where I open up the transcript of a video using these steps (https://kb.swtc.edu/page.php?id=90230), copy a few of the words, then perform a search using those words across that channel, and the video I copied them from doesn't appear on the list of results.

That's why VideoMentions Search exists. It provides a way to search the videos within a YouTube channel to reliably find spoken word matches (and it includes matches in the title & description, too).

Thanks for checking out my project! Please let me know if I can answer any questions about it.
> I'm ambivalent about Tor, but if you're using Tor, don't use the Browser Bundle.

What do you suggest?
My apologies, you've successfully passed FizzBuzz, in a rather unwieldy way by relying on nesting vstacks, hstacks and adding spacers.

The larger point being - placing squares on a page went from drag and dropping and setting a few constraints, to now doing zstack/hstack/vstack/spacer wizardry.
It'll also route you around major delays if it can. This saved me a three hour tailback only weeks ago (arriving at work after lunch would have been...irritating) and literally last week I didn't bother to set it on the way home and ended up in 30 minutes of standing traffic that it would have told me to avoid (there's an alternate route that's 10 minutes slower, but once you're in the wrong road you're committed and can't go back).
Why not just return a 429 (Too Many Requests) if the specific repo has been requested by google not too long ago ? (e.g. 1 hour earlier or).

It's a standard response code, and with a bit of luck google will scale the requests accordingly. If not, this will still allow the proxy to operate properly without burning too much server resources.

(I understand that this may leave some customers unhappy since the proxy may be up to 1 hour stale. If that's the case, the server could also add a check to see if there have been pushes since last request, though this is quite more complex)
I'll expand on 2.

> I work for a SaaS product that enables developers to build app-to-user notification systems with minimal code, which I think it genius.

That sounds like an interesting problem, and one that is relatively well scoped. It's a good candidate for a low/no-code approach.

> I really just want to understand what their concerns are and why the idea of a low-code solution for developers can seem so threatening

Wouldn't use the word threatened.

Low/No Code always gets you 90% of the way. Then remaining 10% are a nightmare to deal with since you now need to extend a tool that really wasn't built for it. To do so it's always custom languages, proprietary extensions and plugins, obsolete or incomplete doc. And don't forget all your work can be undone in a single breaking update from the vendor "Ohh sorry we deprecated that API because there was nobody except you using it".
It seems highly unlikely that selective breeding would result in tomatoes that have significant levels of useful vitamin D.
The interesting part of this article was the subjective reasons to avoid functional arguments. As the article says you most commonly see them used in initialising something, the performance difference identified in the benchmark is unlikely to matter, it’s more a matter of preference and aesthetics.
Tor Browser 11.0.13 – Released May 23, 2022
"The mods on subreddits are a problem"

An absolutely site-killing problem. If you actually try to pursue specific topics on subreddits, you find they're administered by a bunch of babies wallowing in their little sandboxes and throwing tantrums for no apparent reason.
> imagine that SpaceX would not be all too eager to experiment with NTR given the regulatory environment for anything nuclear and that they want to get Starship flying humans within this decade.

Or they might want to do it anyway knowing it would never be allowed to launch in order to drag the overton window in a more permissive direction.
I was heavily watching some of the stock/options trading communities and felt like even well worded questions were sometimes blown away and downvoted while others could ask completely noob questions covered immediately in pinned posts and get 100 replies.
> such as silk-screened button labels becoming faint after extended use

Becoming faint? On my Microsoft keyboard, the letters on the keys soon wore off completely. I had to re-learn touch typing.
Yeah there are some unregistered guns particularly in rural areas. But they don't really enter the market, they are kept as prized possessions by their owners. There isn't a black market for these weapons that is easily accessible. Maybe if you're in one of the biker gangs you might have enough rep to get access but the mentally unstable 18 year old certainly can not.
Sea of Thieves may at least scratch that itch for a bit.

The best thing they could do at this point is give employees and investors their remaining cash. They won't, but I bet they'll wish they did.

Given the CEO suggested people buy the equity while taking personal loans in the last raise in February, I doubt the goodness of the severance.
I played the X series since X2, I found the latest X3 (TC, AP) more enjoyable than Rebirth and even X4. X2 had the landing part (quite annoying, in reality), X3 had the fun, later games had better graphics but not the same immersion. Unfortunately the universe is quite limited, even with 100 sectors, and very static endgame.
> Profit isn’t an “abstraction”

The term profit covers a number of metrics. All of them are abstractions. The number of assumptions that go into a GAAP profit figure is uncountable. Profit on a cash basis is less wiggly, but it's still--for valuation purposes--useful only inasmuch as it is an estimate of actual cash returns on the investment.

> you bring in more money than you spend, it means that you don’t have to worry about a “runway”, nor do you have to worry about outside funding

Lots of ways for cash-flow positive businesses to be running themselves into the ground. Garden variety is off balance sheet liabilities, though people certainly

> How can you have a successful business that spends more money than you make?

Nobody argued this, not for the long term. But there are loads of situations in which losing money in the short term is the long-term savvy move. (This literally describes all investing. You send cash out when you invest.) Valuation involves estimating the value of those future earnings today.
Missing link between Alzheimer’s and vascular disease found?
I often don't agree with DeVaults opinions, however the design decision here is actually costing other people real money and I have not seen a convincing argument why it is necessary. Instead they acknowledge it's an issue, but then continue that behavior for nearly a year, which IMO shows complete disregard for smaller services or individuals hosting their own repositories.
vitamin d doesn't cause good health, but being deficient in vitamin d causes poor health.

That being said, vitamin d is a hormone and I'm not sure I want to be unable to figure out approximately how much im taking in.
That sounds like Elden Ring.
I'm usually not too fond of subscriptions either, but I have to say that Muse has the most ingenious subscription model I've ever come across: If you're using it casually, the free version is plenty (Remember that you can always archive stuff by exporting it, and 100 cards will go a long way. Plus, you can stop paying and still have read-access and even limited editing for your existing boards).

If you use it heavily as a daily driver, then the $3.99 or $9.99 should be a drop in the bucket. It scales very naturally between casual use and the paid tiers. Personally, I could probably do with the $3.99, but I'm choosing to pay the $9.99 since I want to support their ongoing research. Their podcast shows the enormous amount of thought they're putting into this, and it shows! Together with Blink (an SSH app with similar focus on UX design) this is by far the most productive iPad app I have.
I'm really tired of this "this is one of the hardest messages" cold open.
You have thrown innocent people under the bus because you don't know how to balance a budget and mitigate risk. One thing none of these messages have ever done as far as I'm aware is take responsibility for their actions.
My best idea so far for addressing this is to give all players exactly three characters, which they can switch between at any point. The goal would be for most of your "boring" productive output to be determined more by (character) resource allocation rather than participating in the grind yourself all the time.

For example, a group of players might establish a small town with its own laws. The benefits of joining this group would include protection of your self and your stuff from bandits, access to resources, and potentially a place to train in your character's skills. You might in return be required to allocate a certain amount of your characters' combined time to boring scriptable work like tending crops or patrolling the borders of the town.

You would have to design the game so that most players would feel naturally inclined to join some kind of group, whether to avoid being picked off by other players in the wilderness, advance their characters, trade, or just to have something to do.

It might not be made super-obvious to other players which characters are linked to the same player, but I think there would have to be a way to discover it in-game, or too many players would end up as double-agents. Maybe some ritual to discover a player's "soul bonds", and if they don't consent to it when applying to join your township then you would probably treat them as super-suspicious. :)
“DDoSed”

He complains about outgoing traffic of 4GB/day. On a server. In 2022.

If this is an issue he should not be hosting Go modules on his own servers.
I think the short version is that you're just not talking about capabilities.
It brings a lot of security to the Golang dependency system. It is more than just a dumb proxy or cache
"Don't spend real money on fake money."

Good advice I got from colleagues at a 2000 era company who took out loans to buy their options and cover the taxes when the stock was at $50/share and then watched it drop to <$1/share while they were in a lockout window. I worked with people who had 6 figure loans they owed on for worthless stock. Took years for the stock to recover.

Canadian humor always seamed very similar to British hunour, yet somehow different.

Kids in the Hall and the Canadian Air Farce are two great examples if it.

> TOIlet is in its very early development phase.

Hrrmm, seems like last release was more than 10 years ago.
The You Don't Know Jack series are (or can be) kind of like this, to a degree. Party games that use a single game system or computer to direct things and show results, but for the individual games you usually have to do something on your phones, like draw or type something. To some degree, it could work without the TV and phones, but it's a such a smooth experience with them that it wouldn't be the same.

I'd love to see SBGs as you've described them, though. Something beyond party games for this format would be nice.
I have come to the opposite conclusion - YouTube does not reliably include spoken word/transcript matches in search results.

As I wrote in another comment, I've run tests where I open up the transcript of a video using these steps (https://kb.swtc.edu/page.php?id=90230), copy a few of the words, then perform a search using those words across that channel, and the video I copied the words from doesn't appear on the list of results.

If Google decides that it's going to revamp YouTube search to include spoken word/transcription matches, that would make VideoMentions Search irrelevant– and I'd be okay with that!

In the meantime, I think this is a useful free tool for quickly finding spoken word matches within specific channels.

Thanks for checking it out!
There's no way the run-up in housing prices is all land. In 1960 the average house price was 11,700... about 115,000 in 2022 dollars. I'm 51 and have built several houses. Since I was 22 and started being interested in real estate, the rule of thumb was 20% land, 80% house for the value of a new build. That means the average house in 1960 (no land) was probably about 98,000 to build in 2022 dollars.

The average house size in 1960 was 1200 sqft, so call that $82/sqft in 2022 dollars.

The US average cost to build a new house in 2021 was $124/sqft. Meanwhile, the construction workers building the house were getting paid on average $6933/yr ($67,700 in 2022 dollars) whereas a construction worker now averages $47,000/yr.

So the labor costs have gone down by 30%, but the price of the house has gone up by 51%.

The materials might be better or they might be worse, but they're sure not making houses cheaper.
I agree that what you suggest is more useful in many scenarios, particularly when one care about _monitoring_ of performance.

Unlike the rest of the notifications, my ambition with this cumulative distance plot was rather to intervene by cheering than to observe by analyzing. Put differently, I tried to gamify the yearly distance - as if I was racing against last year's version of myself. I'm not advocating for this, I just liked the idea at some point.
It's been on my radar for quite a while, guess I'll have to try it out!
>I have a whole bunch of network gear circa 2010 in production

I ran into this 10 years ago. I decided to roll out IPv6 to clients. Router docs said it was supported. Then I watched CPU usage peg because every packet hit the CPU. Turns out it was implemented in software; no ASIC support. Was quite the buzz kill.
That would be because they have so many locations. You could walk down the street and around the corner to find another one.
