Baseball is the worst. Their app is pretty great but you can't watch local games because they've sold rights to Bally's so you need a cable TV subscription. The Sunday morning game is only on Peacock and that's a separate fee. The Friday night game is only on Apple TV, but at least it's free. The Sunday night game is on ESPN, so again you need a TV subscription. Every once in a while, some game is only on Facebook or YouTube.

Why won't they sell me a tier in their app where I can see all the games? I don't mind paying more.
Fesses is from French, for instance.
I have it for free.

1. Get a new car from the dealership with a 90 day trial.

2. Leave it parked for a year without turning it on.

3. Free Sirius.

They broadcast signals like "Radio 15846374477 - Deactivate" when your trial runs out and if you miss them your radio won't know you aren't paying for it. It appears after a while they just give up and you can keep using it indefinitely.
All Canal+ channels were also present in Spain as satellite TV, but the main channel was available for all via terrestrial broadcasting.

From the mid 90s to the mid 2000s, that main channel were open and free in some time ranges, but outside those ranges, there was some kind of encryption based on band transposing both the audio and the video channels. That easy method made some clever people people used TV capture cards inn PCs to pick that channel and do the required process to being able to watch footballs (and other sports), really recent movies, and porn.

I don't know if somebody used a DSP to do the same but one the TV, but AFAIK DSPs at that time were pretty expensive. On the other hand, I know people who used some modified satellite receivers with special menus to enter the Nagravision codes obtained from the internet in that era.
I intended to imply a personal assistant. But I think it makes sense to replace with features.
I used to work in a bank and wrote an interview script for my department (kdb+/q market data). It mainly consisted of having the candidate sit in front of an interpreter, and walk them through a script which looked something like:

1. Load a data file here

2. Tell me some facts about the data

3. Here's another dataset, can we use both to figure something out.

4. One of the executions for this order is missing, how can we find which one.

5. Here is a data feed, can you write a process to ingest the data and calculate something in real time.

I by far preferred this system to the alternative which was to ask trivia questions and see if the candidate memorised the docs. There is of course some value in asking basics, or to elaborate etc. But on the spot algo questions are usually only useful in filtering people who either like leetcode problems, or have grinded them for the last 6 months.
It's also political because it has specific implications regarding sex-based rights, free versus compelled speech, issues of medical consent - all of which were existing and contentious political issues already.

And also because opposing political groups are using it as a dividing line. Though interestingly, left-wing radical feminists have been consistently the most critical, which is at odds with most others who identify as left-wing politically.

Yeah, it's a prime example of a sisyphean task. Language is too varied and fluid, and the internet is far too juvenile to be censored for any length of time (not a dig, but you try telling reddit they can't say slurs anymore).
Linux distribution wars begat UNIX wars.
Most distribution setups are in series. If a line faults, it's gonna travel upstream, kill the fuse, and then drop power for everyone downstream. There's nothing on those lines measuring power aside from the meters at the end customers.
I think it is mostly people comparing iOS with android and assuming the same situation applies to desktop operating systems as well.

It's also how they prevent and punish genuinely bad behavior, which is why you need to look at why a certain thing is illegal, not just whether it is or isn't.

Does the law say "you may not write bad things about the government or good things about gay people and if you do we'll block your site"? Anything blocked under that law is censorship. Does it say "you must have permission from the rightsholder to distribute any copyrighted material and if you don't we'll block your site"? Blocking under that law, whether you agree with it or not, isn't censorship.
Well, it's probably because:

- you're competing with hobbyists that have the same look & feel

- hobbyists are online when the community is (mostly outside of 9-5)

- members of the community demand custom functionality specific to their interest.

Also:

- building communities is very hard

- they're not easy to monetise

I've built two successful communities in related niches and I'm pretty sure that succeeded because I was young and early. It's not easy to replicate now.
I want to push back on your use of the word “ideology” in this context.

The original comment and your response seems to react to what some academics call “complex systems”—people and preferences (in this case).

If I’m reading this response correctly, there is a charge that simple models are being applied to complex systems. And some peoples don’t like the outcomes. (I have to be careful here myself, making such a simple statement lest I go from the pan into the fire-—I recognize some people who “don’t like outcomes” are fighting for social recognition and civil rights).

Back to my point…the definition of ‘ideology’ which I find useful comes from Peter Sloterdijk's 1983 book, “Critique of Cynical Reason” where he explored the rationale of cynicism and social discontent.

Sloterdijk describes the difficulty of an argument with someone intent on lying to you. Take that a step further. Its an order of magnitude more difficult to find agreement with someone who has a false belief (ie. a witness to an event who has a false belief because of a unconscious bias). Finally, he defines “ideology” as an personal and internal idea—unexpressed—of how the world works.

In the above example of a queer woman of color objecting to the appointment of a queer white person, that’s not an internal and unexpressed personal belief driving their argument. Her argument is right there in the open.

The first one is impossible problem and the second one is a complex problem.

Pointless. All they do is confirm that you can remember algorithms you’ll never use in real life. I won’t work with anyone who uses them… I’d hate to work with a group of people who got their jobs solving riddles rather than building software.
It's interesting to think about the process that lead to this: "its just money, devs time costs more.. do what you gotta do"

Are cloud vendor salesmen doing jedi mind tricks? Or are these decisions just made by incompetent people? Who researches this kind of stuff? It's some kind of a management trends history subject.
I learned so much about AuthN and AuthZ from reading Ory code and docs.

Sometimes it seems like Ory is the only web auth stuff on the internet that’s intended for you to understand how the whole system works, rather than telling you just enough to get you to use/buy their proprietary software (Auth0, Okta, etc).

I read a few books as well but they were extremely poorly done.

I eventually also read the entire OpenId Connect spec as well, which was enlightening.

I’d love to hear of other good resources - I am happy to pay for good stuff as long as it’s mot selling me service.

Thank you!
I'm keen to understand how I've managed to get this far without understanding the first thing about Terraform, beyond maybe its the foundational premise of "infrastructure as code." I've casually tried a few times to fill in those gaps. And wow, the learning materials are just atrocious. Still not even sure, is it a language? A serialization format like Yaml?

This seems like a step in the right direction. I do wish the images were visible on mobile.

Most, let's call it, web software is a handrolled system with its own framework, design patterns, etc. Flarum is a great example of web software that rolled it's own, WordPress is another far more popular piece of software that does it's own thing.

The point being, that unless you're already familiar in the "system language" of the software you want to hack upon, or unless the software is very light on abstraction, it's gonna be pretty inconvenient to MVP on top of it.

I've tried in the past to take that approach with few small projects and gave up pretty quickly. In my view it's the same as getting onboarded on a new project - it's slow. The only difference is that with OSS software you might have a bit more documentation available
I have never been sure that public CDNs were a win, even back in the day.

The issue is this: many sites would download files from 10+ different domains and a single ‘long-tail’ DNS query, increasingly likely if you have more domains, will cause more delay than you could possibly save by using multiple servers.
Could be Sound-in-Sync NICAM, where two-channel compressed audio was sent in the sync period.
> To run Flarum, you will need:

* Apache (with mod_rewrite enabled) or Nginx

* PHP 7.3+ with the following extensions: curl, dom, fileinfo, gd, json, mbstring, openssl, pdo_mysql, tokenizer, zip
MySQL 5.6+/8.0.23+ or MariaDB 10.0.5+

* SSH (command-line) access to run Composer

Unfortunately the dependencies are not as simple as I hoped (other than SSH). Are there single binary forum software (perhaps written in Go/Rust) that use SQLite, that people have experience with?

I guess I am looking for the Caddy of forum software.
That assumption isn't being made at all. That's why it says with sufficient throughput of candidates. If you need to hire 100 people, have 10,000 candidates, 1,000 of whom are qualified, and a 90% false negative rate, you'll get the 100 true positives you need, while leaving 900 well-qualified people pissed off. The process is bad for most of the candidates, but works fine for the company doing the hiring.

The problem comes when smaller companies that don't have the same high rate of new applicants use the same process and then complain they can't find anyone.
Note that speed is relative, but time dilation is not. That's the twin paradox, they're both relatively moving away from each other, but only one 'ages slower'.

Though I don't know what it means to say a photon doesn't experience time, and even more so for hypothetical humans travelling at the speed of light. That's outside the scope of what relativity predicts.
Aside from bundling an Akismet extension, as a development team we constantly adapt to changing spam runs and publishing these preventions for the public to use. Additionally, being extremely extensible, third party developers have contributed extensions that provide spam prevention and cleanup too, like stopforumspam and others.
Oh, that's a good point about the sunsetting. In Brackets's case, Adobe left it active in the hands of the community.

Django for a blog is just an overkill. if the plan is to learn django, pick bit more complicated project, like e-commerce or HRMS, etc.

If the goal is to have a blog, use any static site generators for easy and quick win and deploy it to netlify, github pages, etc. easier and cost effective.

It seems like a huge inefficiency in the economy that thousands of people are studying and practicing for an entrance exam that has no value in the real work that the companies actually do.

But overall that may be a good thing for society. If Google fired all their leet coders and replaced them with real engineers they would not need as many. And the biggest problem may be that there is a limited number of real engineers in the world. Companies have to figure out a way to make so with the people that are available.

Hi, Privacy Badger dev here.

While there is likely to be overlap between the various advertising/tracker lists and Privacy Badger, regardless of whether you enable learning locally, Privacy Badger can automatically discover new trackers that list-based blockers don’t know about.

Besides automatic tracker blocking, Privacy Badger comes with privacy features like click-to-activate replacements for potentially useful trackers (video players, comments sections like Disqus, etc.), and link cleaning on Facebook and Google.

Privacy Badger is also a political tool. By using Privacy Badger, you support the Electronic Frontier Foundation [1]. Privacy Badger sends the Global Privacy Control [2] signal to opt you out of data sharing and selling, and the Do Not Track [3] signal to tell companies not to track you. If trackers ignore your wishes, Privacy Badger will learn to block them. The idea isn't to block all advertising but rather to promote a better Web.

I moved to just using uBlock + noscript + containers. EFF people don't know how to audit things. It's better to use as few extensions as possible + put services you paid for into a Firefkx container to segregate the browser rather than try these half measures.

Also Firefox now builds in functionality similar to HTTPS everywhere:

Code needs to be reviewed to be safe, so minimize the code in your browser to reduce both fingerprintability and possible exploits.
In my old job we used to have combined problems for job interviews.
First were some easy leetcode, little Big O, all that.
But then it got tricky, the problem turned into a "design" part were you could see how the applicant would setup a new system, wether s/he would overdo complexity etc.

Finally we had tests for communication skills. For a unprecise formulated requirement, would the applicant ask us or would s/he over-implement?

Usually there was also something which was noch archievable, for which we substracted points if attempted unsystematically and at all.

It was a good test, because the simple leet code calmed the apllicants, and for the rest you goto see something much more valuable. Their approach to work, their thought process, their output, wethere they would go for Quantity or Quality and could self-manage their workflow.

Classic swap fail. A good rule of thumb is that when a swapping OS runs out of RAM it literally cannot swap its way back to stability unless you kill some of the tasks.

Faster drives help a little, but the most practical option is to have enough RAM to use no swap at all.

I have a 64GB Mac and I'm regularly over 32GB. If I only had 32GB my ten core Mac would still grind to a halt.

> Everything is a choice right, and PPA/AUR are pretty cool usability wise.

They're two separate systems for exactly two separate distros and, oh yeah, your PPA needs to have separate repos for every single Ubuntu release.

> But the point of package maintainers is

Irrelevant to a lot of us. To me, they are useless middle men who ensure that it takes entirely too long to get updated software when I want it or alternatively that I can't even get the software I want[0] because no one has bothered to package it and put it in the repo for this specific distro.

For 1), I don't trust random unpaid volunteers to do this anyway. I'd rather either not run applications I don't trust or just containerize them. Guess how Flatpak works?

For 2), FlatPak makes this irrelevant for Desktop software. If you eliminate the ability for software to conflict, you eliminate the need for unpaid volunteers to try and deal with that problem. Pulse/Pipewire is system software, it's part of the underlying platform.

For 3) FlatPak makes this irrelevant. Using containerization and OSTree, FlatPak can provide each application with the dependencies it needs while also keeping only one copy of each necessary dependency (per installation). Besides which, most dependencies (shared libraries) aren't actually shared: https://drewdevault.com/dynlib

> Running "Any old shit" from the internet is such a bad idea overall

I use a computer to run software. I use a personal computer to run the software I personally want to run. I will decide which software is a good idea to run or not on my personal computer, not some random group of internets.

> it's an artefact from people running windows

Consider that one of the reasons Windows is still more popular than Linux Desktop is that it doesn't have all the drawbacks of the traditional package manager/repo model Linux has been using for the entirety of its distant-3rd-place-on-the-desktop reign. It's certainly one of the reasons I still use it.

The traditional package manager repo model has advantages that mostly only apply to servers and platform software[1], but are in my (and many other people's) opinion a terrible way to manage desktop software.

[0] Without all the pain of compiling from source or jumping through other such hoops. We don't have to do this on Windows or Mac, it's exclusively a Linux disease.

[1] Which I argue shouldn't need a package manager in the first place and should be handled the way distros like Silverblue handle it. Which is to say as one complete package that is entirely replaced when it is updated.

If you only care about ram and SSD yes, but if you look at the whole package including screen, speakers, build quality and battery life then it’s not that much of a premium.

In your opinion, what's the difference between a leetcoder and a real engineer?
