You need a runtime like the browser or Node in WebAssembly. I suppose you could write one in Rust and then compile it to wasm. But then what do you gain by doing this?
Does anyone know abut the noise level? My gf brought over her air purifier and it has this annoying high-pitched buzz.

I wouldn't mind investing in the Ikea ones if they are tolerable to listen to.
For a reason I haven't been able to distill I really appreciate it when people known for one facet of their personality (here: being a big shot in crypto) have the courage to be open about other, much less impressive facets (here: writing about mundane practicalities) of their lives as well.
What difference does it make? They are multiples of five. Are they okay to him? I doubt that is so. He dislikes chunks of five. He was not prescribing semicolons. That would still bother him.
A bit off tangent, but Blueair purifiers was the only brand where the output air was 0 PPM2.5 during wildfire season in the Bay Area (I have the $50 uncalibrated laser PPM sensor that purpleair uses so interpret this as you want). I tried Dyson, Winix, and making a V-shape DIY purifier with a vornado fan. Nothing was able to pull the indoor air below 15 besides Blueair so I recommend it to any of my family and friends.
Yet, here we are praising Mullvad for removing recurring subscriptions which will certainly mean they lose some predictable revenue and customers...
But if you must feel that you experience a unique and ineffable "redness" when you perceive red regardless of whether that redness exists or not, how can you take that feeling as evidence that this ineffable redness exists? I don't think that's a valid justification—I think this suggests we have to be agnostic as to whether qualia truly exist or not if we're judging purely by our own senses.
Elsewhere, https://sive.rs/book/ShortSentences, Sivers recommends "Several Short Sentences About Writing", which is a perspective on writing that I'd not seen before. A useful read if you want to practice his present advice.

> Even if this account does not contain and pictures of yourself or it represents somebody or something else, we can only help you when we receive a picture of you which fulfills these criteria.

That's the part that makes me wonder what they're trying to accomplish. I had the same thing happen in 2019, so it's been going on for a long time. For me it happened with a handle that matches a decent .com domain I own when I was going around and registering accounts at every site I could think of (ie: brand protection).

As far as I'm concerned they got nothing that helps them determine whether or not I'm going to use the account for legitimate purposes. I also did not violate their terms of service because it was a brand new registration. I didn't even get an email. I had to figure out where to send the request to have my account reactivated.

I didn't like the idea of sending them a photo, but felt forced into it to make sure no one else could come along and squat on the handle that matches my brand. I don't have trademarks (yet) and, even if I did, claiming someone is violating a trademark is going to be a significant amount of effort vs sending them the photo they want.

So, I capitulated even though I have no idea what they're using my photo for. My best guess is that Mark has it framed and hanging in his private art studio.

I think there's a good chance that eventually big tech is going to run on massive facial recognition databases that were built against our will. I think Facebook, Google, Apple, and Microsoft should be chopped into about 10 different companies each and the government shouldn't give any consideration to the impact it has on their business. They have no respect for us. We shouldn't have any respect for them IMO.

For headphones I just use Crinacle. It’s served me well so far.

For other stuff, I usually check Wirecutter and cross-reference it with Reddit reviews.

I also have noticed that Wirecutter seems.. less qualitative (?) since they got bought by The NY Times.
It's actually E12 vs H13 - there is no H12. The "E" in "E12" stands for "EPA", as opposed to "HEPA".
Been building Vibehut for about 8 months now. We've had over 1,000 calls hundreds of hours talked.

Rooms are 24/7 video calls. Anyone can join as long as they meet the room requirements.

We originally added events to rooms to let people know when they should and can expect other people to join in.

Today with the addition of the calendar feature, it is super easy to know what people will be talking about today, tomorrow and next week!
Ask around in the private equity markets. They usually don't want to deal with small fry like me, but I was relentless :-) These things are very high risk, so I don't really want to be blamed if things go awry for anyone. I suggest starting with asking your brokerage.
Cooling the Steamdeck Hotroad Style (LTT)
"has" in "chooses to"?
This particular scheme has been a ridiculous plague among my circle of friends on instagram recently. People create accounts mimicking an existing user, add an underscore at the end of the username, and then spam follow requests to all of their connections. Most people get a notification from someone they know, and they accept it without even thinking about. It is insanely effective.

Reporting the accounts for impersonation seem to do nothing, instagram's responses to the support requests even say they don't have enough people to look at all of them, and so they didn't.
Why not just use a language that's better suited for serveless or edge computing? Why is JS the hammer to every programming nail? Aren't programmers supposed to be able to learn and use multiple languages, depending on best use case?
Having just spent 3 weeks on 4x hour long interviews and completing a day long coding problem along with a "code while I watch" to get to the point that "we're tabling this for a few months" I suspect many of us senior types are just tabling the job seeking process ourselves until we seem to be in actual demand.
The funny thing is that they're doing it all over again with edge. And nobody is getting up in arms about it.

Ps I still don't understand how "now copied from Google so it's better than that crappy earlier version we built ourselves" can be viewed in any kind of positive light :) It's basically an admission of incompetence. I mean, for a software company that's pretty bad. I just don't understand how they make it a selling point that they didn't write it themselves anymore.

Also, I don't think the actual engine was why people didn't like the old Edge. It was more the UI for me. I never had issues with the rendering engine. The could have done the same overhaul with their own engine and it would have been fine too. An extra engine would have been better for the web as an ecosystem, we're now seeing too much of the "IE Effect" with chromium.
No, it takes a large, dedicated OS performance and quality team to keep things running fast on older supported hardware. Apple has one (as does Microsoft).
I can max out my 330 Mb connection with them, and latency is pretty good. I'm in Europe and I use a couple different countries as exit.
The OSI definition of Open source says "The license shall not restrict any party from selling or giving away the software as a component of an aggregate software distribution containing programs from several different sources. The license shall not require a royalty or other fee for such sale."

NC obviously violates the definition of Open Source. As far as I can tell it is a less well specified version of the Commons Clause license.

Not sure how you got that 17CHF, that's the price I get for a single trip with the half fare card (IC3). Full price would be 34CHF each way.
> Don't do business with them again? Fine, but it's too late.

Well no, not if you have assigned them a unique address. That is the whole point of the exercise, no? Stop doing business with them _and_ block their unique address.
This is the basis of the Enneagram[0] personality system. It might seem like astrology at first, but it’s quite kind boggling how accurate and insightful is been for me and the people I’ve shared it with over the years. It truly transformed my interpersonal skills, and never ceases to amaze people with the eerie accuracy in which it seems to know a person once they read up on their type. Each type has a childhood trauma at their core that shapes their behavior and the underlying forces driving their thoughts and feelings. Awareness of these core aspects of the self, along with actionable tools to navigate and measure growth or regression is foundational to personal growth. I like to encourage others to stow their skepticism long enough to discover and study their Enneagram type! I think it deserves more study from academia. Whatever it is, the value I’ve seen it grant people is hard to ignore, and the accuracy with which it explains people has been surprisingly unmatched in my exploration of the aloof and mysterious human personality.

I’ve always wanted to map a system like this into more traditional ones to see what kind of patterns might emerge. I’m not sure how that would look but I think there’s still a lot to be discovered.

the person you replied to was being unnecessarily semantic, but in computer science "sort" has a specific meaning which is only the ordering of a set. So 'sorting' cp implies making it easier to find specific cp.

The more accurate word might be "categorize" or "filter".

It was obvious what was meant by "sort" when reading the full text, but I think the counter-point was more of a tongue-in-cheek retort regarding the above than an actual complaint.
It doesn't make logistics easier, but it makes it worth investing resources into. Economies of scale means you get more value for the resources you do invest into logistics.

Anecdotally, almost all small online businesses I've seen the back end of do not have a dedicated logistics person. When there's only a handful of different kinds of stuff to ship, shipping becomes an extra low-skill task usually given to whoever is free. They also usually do not have a sophisticated inventory management system (because it is not worth it to purchase one), and instead use spreadsheets that are manually managed.

Secondly, sending out stuff same-day is not even close to same-day _delivery_. For that you need to control all aspects of the logistics chain, which only makes sense at Amazon scales. I've encountered many times where I've ordered things, had a label created the same day but then with no progress for a week. After contacting the seller, it turned out the courier only picks up packages from their warehouse once every 3 days, and then takes another couple of days to "ingest" it and do the origin scan.
Never heard of it. Thanks for sharing. How does it compare to PyGame?
Rock: Causal Inference Principles for Reasoning about Commonsense Causality
>A manual toothbrush is not a replacement.

While I agree, carrying a manual toothbrush when traveling has been one of my compromises. That said, my newish one comes with a travel case so I may give that a try. Not sure how long it will go without recharging but may be worth experimenting.
> It's not Tim Apple's business to determine what words people are allowed to use.

Given that auto-correct is a function of software then yes, word selection is part of Apple's business. There are two parts to the solution. The technical aspect is probably not at issue. The socio-political component is going to reflect mainstream corporate culture and probably not meet many corner cases. The significant choices aren't Apple's to make sense they will bow to the anathema dictates of social and political power: such as Winnie the Poo in certain Chinese contexts or Swastikas in German ones.
Web 3 is Flawed
You really need to get some perspective if you think Steve Jobs was the biggest asshole of the last 40 years.
It could, but it is a bit of a stretch for your average web developer to

1: Know that webassembly does not work on the PPC version of Firefox.

2: Have access to a PPC machine for testing in 2022.

It is an unfortunate but exceptionally rare edge case that few websites will ever actually encounter.

Yes, major contributor who touched many parts of the company's core technology.

You are sidestepping a massive amount of factors that allows somebody to create their own business. Even then, a company grows on the backs of its employees, and there quickly comes a time when a single person should not have complete control because it’s not just theirs anymore.

I own shares in public companies and have basically zero say in how they operate and those shares are worth quite a bit.

At this point it’s clear these arguments are flippant and not serious. I hope one day you can have a perspective on these issues that is not so shallow. They are important and you also should have a say in your workplace. Our voices matter.
Yeah I definitely see value, don't get me wrong. I think, slightly, that marketing privacy is the cheap shot at best and kinda irresponsibly inaccurate at worst because it glazes over so much of the actual problem. In other words, if I start using Mullvad today I don't incredibly become anonymous and private on the internet... there's a lot more work to do to achieve that posture. The way VPNs are touted though might lead you to believe they keep you safe and private.

Otherwise sounds like we mostly agree.
Thanks for sharing, I always appreciate these insights into fields I often encounter but don't think about. I'll read through it that's a promise!

I'd love for Tim Heffernan of Wirecutter to respond to this article. It seems pretty damning and I think it hurts his credibility.
Ok. Let's take what you said, so then maybe you can understand the problem.

> they built it therefore they should be able to choose how to distribute it

Tied selling is against the law. No matter who makes it, no matter if its free, if you make the acquisition of a product conditional on the acquisition of another one, it is illegal.
Thanks for the update (with the numbers), I was about to reply that without a number it's hard to gauge what 'slightly underpaying' means.

It would be interesting to see if you added a pay range if you got any additional hits. I'm not a devops guy, so I can't say whether it's underpaying or not. It doesn't seem unreasonable to me.
I mean to be clear up front she very much did do a crime, she is not a white hat hacker, however.

> Here is something that doesn't feel right.

I totally agree, it's a strong indicator of an oligarchy. Same as Chevron basically putting a lawyer in jail for suing them on behalf of the people's whose lands they poisoned. Threats to wealth are punished by our "justice" system more severely than similar crimes.
We should appreciate the diversity of the 7,903,275,000 people in the world. Everyone single one of us has different opinions, ideas, abilities and interests.
> In other words, some accounts steal the pictures of real people and then send follow requests to friends, and try to get them to tap on links that can give the bad actor access to the friends' accounts or buy cryptocurrencies.

How would me sending them a picture change that when it says right in the email that:

> Even if this account does not contain and pictures of yourself or it represents somebody or something else, we can only help you when we receive a picture of you which fulfills these criteria.

So I can send Instagram a real picture and post someone else's picture all over the account.
Serious question, what are people using their VPN for? I used PIA before the buyout then shifted to Windscribe but I don't think I will renew after this year. I rarely use it and if I want soemthing safe (like using public wifi), I use tailscale instead.
so we're at the point where the steps to prove you're human are so arduous only a bot will have the patience to create a new account

someone should try using "photograph of yourself, where you hold a piece of paper with the following, handwritten code on it: **" as a prompt on DALL-E/imagen
Appropriate, since they haven't heard of you either.
These services will likely not be around in 5 years if things continue as they do today. I work with clients who ban any ASN that hosts these kinds of services. Not sure what Mullvad can do to not become a new Tor or North Korea. At many companies they already are.

I am not for it. Just the way the lands lie right now.
I've done so much research about air purifiers that I think I could do a thesis if I were in academia. The vast majority of these devices fall under one category: rubbish. Lots of gimmicks performed when it comes to efficacy. Bending reality with borderline claims or inventing useless terms that mean nothing.
If you are serious about indoor air quality, start with IQAir. Their products are bulky, contain multiple filters and you know that you'll be able to get replacement filters 5 years later.
Blueair has some reasonable products too (ignore the smaller, cheap product lines).
Sadly, email and phone verification have never been particularly effective methods of proving personhood/identity/non-malevolent intent. Witness the dozens of spam phone calls / pig butchering texts / Gmail-originating spam emails one gets a day.

I noticed that after enabling iCloud Private Relay on my phone, I get a _lot_ more CAPTCHAs very suspicious of my activity. This is both annoying and logical; a site's confidence in my existence / non-malevolence is much decreased when I don't appear from a consistent IP and the IPs that I appear from have a non-zero quantity of bad actors from which I must now be disambiguated.

This seems a classic example of a challenging problem of balancing privacy (wanting an option to be anonymous in my use of a service, including ones where I can post information or message others) with security (wanting to be sure that my counterparties are real humans unlikely to be malevolent or misrepresenting themselves). Service providers get slammed for errors on both sides.

That's not to give up on trying to solve it or suggest that the current status quo is optimal.

Going out on a limb here, I could imagine a solution where e.g. Private Relay users had egress from a special set of IPs that indicate to service providers that the originating user had indeed been identified/validated by Apple as authentic. Traffic inbound from these IPs could have a slightly relaxed threat posture. This is roughly in line with what Apple has been trying to do with Login With Apple; not just making it easier for users to sign in but helping reduce automated signups. An ideal component missing here would be a way to backchannel to Apple from a service provider "Hey, user $UID did a Bad Thing just FYI" to allow Apple to better risk-score Apple profiles/activity, obviously weighted by Apple for believability on the part of the service provider.
Why on earth would someone go through with this?
> Safari is slow to adopt new web features

Good. These features need to be supported by browsers for an extremely long time and Google is trying to force garbage under the guise of "standards." I hope Apple continues to fight against the ridiculous power hungry feature creep.
But the editors are isolated from the commercial side.

Regardless of what they pick, they do not manage the affiliate links. Thats an entirely different process.

>> That's not really true when the same person who writes the reviews is the one trying to solicit kickbacks in the background

No. The person doing the review has no insight or commission on any affiliate income.

Whether you like the NYT or not, their coverage and reviews are made to the best of the abilities, and while mistakes happen, the writers are not trying to nickle and dime you.
I'll just add on the technical assignment: it can be very different, and in many cases a 4-hour one is unlikely to be interesting. I do like interviews and test tasks, but if it's just another CRUD app, I won't be able to start: it's painfully boring.

Add that need to present the already boring result, and you need something really amazing to make it worth the time. I doubt it is.
they are both too powerful....
> One country unilaterally decides that it is fine to pollute the sky for everyone else in the name of profit.

One country allows the entire world to use its global navigation system "for free", build businesses on that technology, save people's lives and benefit from it.

One company brings usable Internet connection, the electricity of the 21st century, to anywhere in the world, with a fixed price, often lower than the existing inferior or non-existing ones.

> One company decides to produce more and more without giving a damn about their ecological impact, in the name of profit.

One company will have accelerated our escape from extinction.

> in the name of profit

If Space was such a profitable industry, it'd be as crowded as ad and social network markets. It's the exact opposite. To claim it's all for profit, is to admit you shouldn't be trusted with anything money related, as you'd probably lose it all in a blink.
Which line of Blueair are you using? I use Bluepure and I think they do a great job, but I don't have any instruments to measure their efficacy.
My headphone quality requirements are slim to nonexistent since I mostly only use them on planes and trains to listen to music and block out noise, but my form factor requirements are pretty strict. I currently use Anker Soundbud Slims. I like the wired necklace and the magnets on the earpieces that allow the necklace to be sort of completed, although they're very weak. I pull out one earbud pretty often when I need to hear something, so the necklace lets me just drop it instead of having to faff about with storage. I guarantee I would lose individual detached earbuds pretty quickly. I don't use them for videoconferences, so I don't need a microphone. When I did my USB-C unification the closest equivalents tended to have solid plastic necklaces for more structure and mic mounts (looks like one of your recs has this?), but I store my headphones crumpled up in a tiny pocket. This was a year or two ago so maybe there are better options now, but at the moment my headphones just have a permanent adapter attached to them.
I implemented a not-that-fancy Lisp in C in a few weeks. It did all its own number reading, precise GC, etc. It was embedded in a commercial product so it wasn't purely a toy. It was less sophisticated than Emacs Lisp. But Emacs Lisp itself was implemented in a matter of weeks or months (albeit by RMS, who is like ten normal good programmers). Lisp is really pretty simple, though of course adding enough to it will be a lot of work. Mine (and Emacs's) didn't have most of the stuff you listed, but that was ok.

SICP explains how to write a fairly complete version of Scheme including a compiler.

My Lisp in C had a bunch of its higher level parts like the reader implemented in C for accidental reasons because of why the program was developed in the first place. If doing it again though, the whole thing would be in Lisp except for some very low level primitives.
