Obviously hn. The best way to improve reading speed is to have others read things for you
I know multiple people who have ideas for children's books but don't really want to actually produce one in the current system. Easy to understand why people don't follow through creating children's books - it's hard and not very lucrative. Creating a children's book is usually a money losing proposition - most books aren't published and most published books don't sell very well.

Imagine taking the cost of illustrating a children's book from 10k USD (plus who knows how much time) to paying a 10 dollar per month fee to create unlimited illustrations? What would that enable? How many more children's books would get produced? How much more happiness for children and would be authors?

My mother used to tell us stories about characters she had made up. With a little more time, if this technology existed, she could have illustrated her stories and shown them to us. Or, if this technology gets invented tomorrow, I could create generate the illustrations from what I remember of my mom's stories and share it with her. Why wouldn't I want this? Because professional illustrators would be devalued?

Let's not forget the children who lack interesting content or concerned parents who would create it for them. These kids could benefit from a reddit or imgur of children's books and get an infinite scroll of content. If software becomes good enough the infinite scroll could be generated automatically.
I have but one word for this guy.

I see no reason not to consider it.

He is a Debian user who hates the way systemd works.

Devuan is for you.
Can you honestly say that you have personally met every single person on this planet who is doing Bitcoin mining "for fun" or doing research, and that you have continued to meet all the new ones as they pop up?

Didn't think so.

>I honestly don't get why you wouldn't want to form a union.

The most common answer to this is that unions protect the worst employees, and tends to equalize wages so that the better employees are paid the same as the worst. If you're more talented, why should you expect equal pay to everyone else?

Unions reward mediocrity. They can (and have) certainly done good as well. But this is the most common critique of unions.
You can't use the internet without risk. All you can do is measure relative risks and decide which are acceptable. Means, motive, and opportunity matter. Someone who is missing the motive portion is less of a concern than someone who has all three.
Early x86/PC Linux versions used VGA's native text capabilities. When ported to m68k machines (Atari/Amiga) that didn't have native text capabilities, that's when Linux grew the virtual console we all know today that renders text to a bitmap display.
I don’t understand this obsession with finding secret tricks to dieting. The root problem is the abundance of cheap, overly processed food being advertised to people with a lack of willpower. Until we tackle those core problems, everything is pointless, because finding a workaround means enabling yet more of the bad behaviour.
But Carter did not do it. You don't get credit for things you didn't do. There was no need for delay, as Reagan amply demonstrated.

Remember, Reagan did it on his first day in office. Carter could have done it the day before.

If you lived through that transition (I did) it was wonderful to have the gas lines disappear overnight and never return. Thank you, Reagan!

I can't see how that's a problem.
No, not really good advice. At least too pithy to be complete.

The real meaning is that your career will take care of itself as a byproduct of focusing on these other things. It's not the endgame, not a worry, and certainly not an obsession - recipes for failure actually.

The most effective focus rather is on personal improvement - i.e. Virtue - i.e. Strength aligned in Serving your stakeholders (team, executives, both sides, etc).
I find text a lot harder to read without anti-aliasing.
Wonderful, yes, that are the really important problems..
Just because you haven't heard of it doesn't mean that it doesn't exist.
You’ll need to name names and their particular shortcomings if you’re going to say there are no good PaaS alternatives. In particular, both AWS and GCP have cron-as-a-service, which can then be hooked up to AWS Lambda/GCP Functions. Now, I’m not saying this will work for every use case out there (eg there are time limits on both), but without getting into the weeds a little bit on why those PaaS won’t work (for your use case), there are viable alternatives to K8s’ complexity.
For me the book that changed my perspective on proofs was : Proofs from THE BOOK by Martin Aigner and Günter M. Ziegler. I always thought that proofs are just means to an end, but this book showed me that proofs can be more interesting than the end result. The book begins with six proofs of the infinitude of the primes, and you can read it in any order. It contains some of the most elegant proofs of mathematical theorems.
The fiat financial system works because all the financial engineering is underlying the real capital economy.

Ethereum has the financialization but not a real capital economy -- no one starts a non-cryptoc biz with Ethereum.

So, all the defi stuff only works when its bridged to the fiat money world, but that bridge is so full of scams and speculative bubbles that it's useless for legit work.

IPFS and Internet Computer are the bests idea for a real economy on the blockchain money. But anything non-computational, like physical manufacturing and offline services, are much harder to connect to cryptoc.
> My point is that many people buy supplies for their work

Sure, with the money their work budgets for those supplies. Teachers are having to spend part of their own paychecks to buy supplies.

If your job requires you to pay for supplies out of your own paycheck then that's obviously a raw deal, just a sneaky way to pay lower wages.
That would be cool! Do you use any other reader mode at the moment on mobile?

> Wander down the wide, busy sidewalks of Washington Street, the city’s main strip, past the poke joints and (so-so) bagel shops

I will not stand for this slander against my favorite city!

Jokes aside, when I lived in Hoboken I was told that pedestrians have right-of-way no matter what. If someone looks like they're trying to cross the street you have to stop for them. I didn't really see how that could be true but most everyone I drove with acted like it was. I'm not sure how widespread this was but I think it definitely contributed to less traffic deaths.

EDIT: I should mention that this was on the side streets. Nobody stops for you on Washington. Almost got hit once or twice on that street.
Clearly the software industry is more evil than the FF villains though. Wasted computers are not alive, and yet they WANT them to be sentient.
back when maze solving algorithms were unknown, BFS was AI. AI is magic, algorithms are what AI turns into when problems are actually figured out.
> Only if they can monetize it, which would require breaking various and sundry laws.

I mean, doesn't the same restriction apply to mobile exploits? You'd be breaking some kind of law by selling the exploit off, no?

In my opinion, game piracy for latest gen consoles would be very easily monetizable. The challenge is figuring out how to make money without revealing your identity and/or basing your operations out of a more piracy-tolerant jurisdiction. Or you could sell the exploit off to someone who is willing to deal with all of this.
Jesus. What product? The only thing I've ever worked on that got close to that was a compiler that built LLVM and Boost. LLVM takes like 40 minutes on a laptop.

"Beyond a certain point, your body senses the deficiency and decreases your metabolism. "

As far as I'm able to tell this is a myth. There isn't any scientific evidence supporting it, and quite a bit which implies it is impossible - if a body could run itself more efficiently then it would by default. Calorie consumption is necessary to sustain life.

This myth is usually perpetuated by people who believe they are on calorie restricted diets, but who are actually eating more than they think.
There is a long way to go in the West to understand Kali. Understanding Kali needs one to transcend the wrathful creator monotheistic creator.

Hindu thought equates the creative force of the world to be Shiva-Shakti, the male-feminine divine. It understands that there are individuals who will pursue different paths - some worship male deities, some worship female deities and some go beyond that dualism. Even in that landscape, there are those whose temperament need a serene feminine divine (the Goddess Saraswati) and those who temperament seeks the wrathful Kali and then there are those who go beyond. Kali represents the most fierce and transcending of the divine Shaktis.

The Western is still not beyond the concept of the god-singularity - the monotheistic creator who observes all instead of the the self-identifying deity (Yidam) who guides you and can be different for various individuals.

Hegel's 18th century misconceptions where he called Hindu thought a "Religion of Phantasy" (sic) has driven Western thought about Hinduism. Subsequent philosophers from Marx to Churchill perpetuated it. Churchill famously called Hindus "a beastly people with a beastly religion".
The point is that there's a distinct physiological difference between no calories and some calories
Let's not let our morals get in the way of doing what's right.
Parkinson's law in software is real. As Jon Blow often says, our computers are basically supercomputers that are astoundingly bogged down by bad software development practices. The computer I'm on is at the very least several dozen times more powerful than the one I had 20 years ago, yet a lot of functionally equivalent software probably runs at about the same speed, certainly not an order of magnitude faster let alone several dozen times faster despite not doing several times more.

The problem is that a lot of software developers don't even realize how bad their software design is because of prevailing norms, and the state of affairs can only be upended by certain developers showing that another way is possible when programming with the hardware rather than against it.

As someone who has to use Visual Studio and ReSharper professionally, I was absolutely blown away when I tried out the (still in alpha) 10x Editor and found it accomplishing in less than a second something that takes ReSharper several dozen seconds, during which it locks up the editor, or that it might even fail to do entirely, having succeeded only in making VS unresponsive (finding all usages of a widely overridden virtual function):
https://www.10xeditor.com/
(Disclaimer: I was impressed enough by the editor's performance to become a paid supporter.)

(Another VS extension I use is P4VS, which is slow, buggy garbage that will lock up VS if you look at it funny. In fact, P4V and the P4 extension for Windows Explorer are also utterly dismal, but Helix Force just don't seem to give a damn.)

Another example is Casey Muratori making a terminal several orders of magnitude faster than the Windows one simply by designing it well, without even going through an optimization process:
https://youtu.be/hxM8QmyZXtg

It's fair to say that a huge amount of modern software is at least an order of magnitude slower than it needs to be. The standards in the software development industry are frustratingly low and there is a deplorable dearth of disruptors to push them in another direction.
No reason to make it easy for them.

Also, proper client side encryption is really difficult to break. Usually they need to compromise the client in order to read it.
Yeah which is also insane. 750 military bases around the world but don't you dare call the USA an empire!

I don’t think people want their employee to fail. But given a choice between the most “correct” technology and the most “marketable” technologies. It’s short sighted as employee to choose the most “correct” technology. More than likely the startup is going to fail.

If given a choice between Vue and React, I might prefer Vue. But I would still choose React as a tech lead because I know it is more marketable and you would get more self interested developers and it would be easier to recruit for.

Seems like the benefit of sqlite is the sort of usecases where you maybe don't want to load everything you've crawled into a search engine, but want to be able to cherrypick the data and retrieve specific documents for further processing. Which is certainly a use case that exists, and indeed not really what WARC is designed for.
It often isn't lack of will power, but other issues. Nobody wants to be overweight or obese, but people suffer from all sorts of other issues that make it harder for them to get their life in order.

Not at all.

A WARC file gives you exactly what you would see on the wire, or in the network inspector tab of your browser. It does nothing to the content, and that's the point.

The only thing you gain (and that's very important for other reasons as well) is an immutable ground truth to work from when creating the reader view of a given article.

There's a new CSS forced-color mode that somewhat standardises the ability to force user colours on the web. It's related, but distinct from prefers-color-scheme for dark/light modes and prefers-contrast.

It may not be perfect but any project in this space should probably build on top of the standards and lobby sites themselves to support it better.

I noticed Ars Technica does something fancy with blend mode that makes its article images hard to see in this mode for example, but presumably it'll sort that when they notice.

News are irrelevant for your life. Period. That's why the news industry is the way it is. And that's why it is of no concern wether it is this way or not. The biggest benefit you can get is not to consume any news. Changing news has none.
After changing the sample text on fonts.bunny.net to something that is non-English, all missing characters are all rendered with the same font. Chrome inspector will show the actual font being used under "Rendered fonts", and it appears to be whatever the locally configured fallback is.

This is in contrast with the behavior on fonts.google.com where missing characters are rendered with an inline image to explicitly show the missing glyph.

I prefer the fonts.google.com behavior here, which makes it easier to find fonts that have all the glyphs I need.
I was joking and I don't think you need a price on there. But if you're serious, you can put out an asking price and everyone involved should just assume it's negotiable. Just use something like a couple of million USD as a starting point.

> This is also a bit unusual business model because mold can be used for free.

You're selling the copyright, right? That's ok - businesses pay for stuff like this. Although I wonder if instead you'd be better off if you created a corporation and instead offered to sell the company's IP + your commitment to support the work over ~1-2 years. This might be a more common scenario for M&A teams to work with. Especially if you are keen on supporting more target architectures/OSs. Someone like ARM or SiFive or FAANG would easily shell out that kind of money to get mold.
Yea, I’m going to look at it more, but sometimes those computers are a few years old, many of them are on ARM too. Having windows supper would really open doors, because our software is designed to be the low cost solution and if we could even run it on several redundant office computers then even that would be sufficient for our business needs and though it sounds crazy I just think it might work.
We have a vaulted ceiling and there is still an air gap under the roof. The ceiling "vault" is separately framed; there is still a foot or two of air space between the top of the vault and the roof deck.
Polonius is considered a buffoon because that it how Hamlet sees him, and Hamlet is such a compelling character it is easy to get sucked into his point of view. I like Branaghs Hamlet where Polonius is not played as a fool at all, but rater as a cynical manipulator.
Security updates are N-2 I believe (so current OS and last two major versions).
I get reactive hypoglycemia sometimes and when my blood sugar levels start dropping my vision starts blurring and I can’t focus on anything. Eating something to bring my blood sugar back resolves it.

>You can run quite a lot in 512MB of RAM if you use the right languages to write code in.

I recently delivered a production-ready embedded system running Armbian with 512megs RAM, and indeed disabled systemd-journald for our uses, also .. but even with it enabled, our Lua-based app was (science/data analysis on sensor network) running in the best environment it has ever run, so I can confirm: 512MB is enough for a lot of things.

That might be because it's easier to dream up and get funding for crazy axion detection equipment ... and there's not much you can do to make more microlensing get observed.

Have you every played with SQLite virtual tables (https://sqlite.org/vtab.html) - they could allow to provide an SQLite interface while keeping the same structure on disk. Though it requires a bit of work (implementing the interface can be tedious), it can avoid the conversion in the first place.
"It seems to be written for an audience which doesn’t know the first thing about science. But I wonder, is it just me who finds this annoying?"

They're things actually happening, they're just very loud. Someone speaking is like wearing headphones turned all the way up, is the best approximation for it. Is that still part of the definition of a hallucination?

I'm curious - is that salary difference enough to cause a significant brain drain? Can you hire really good developers for that price in your country?

I live in the UK and dev salaries are maybe half of the US, but people don't leave in droves because there are other factors - family, friends, quality of life, effort of moving your life across continents, etc.
> To be honest having a person's name be the same as their nominative case pronoun is kind of cool

The whole point of a person's name is to sufficiently differentiate them from the other persons. Using pronoun as name (or vice versa) just totally negates this goal.

Google has a proven track record of being malicious and a business model that relies on it.

For me Coq - the automated proof assistant was it. You can consider it a game where you try to prove something. And it is green and says okay when you are correct. If you just do it on paper you are never sure about if you are correct.
I agree with everything you said but for walking. Bikes can’t go everywhere, biking in cities is dangerous and uncomfortable (irrespective of good or bad bike infrastructure) and it’s just not as satisfying as putting one foot in front of the other. Yea it’s much slower than biking but at least a magnitude more rewarding in my opinion.
Just use a cheat day. This will help to keep the metabolism up and also psychological, because if you got desire to eat X, just put it on the cheat day list and eat it at that day. (If you keep fulfill your desires at the cheat day regularly, u develop trust in your list, which makes it even more effective).

You shouldn't go under 1 cheat day a week. See 4 hours body book for sources.
- Sure, the type IBlaha is defined somewhere just as the object(s) passed to add_item_to_cart are also defined somewhere.

That definition is rarely as accessible as an explicit type though. For example take an API response or any third party library. Determining the data type isn't as quick as simply scanning a function for the object definition.

- Dynamically typed languages are very popular so it seems that many developers can work their way around dynamic typing.

As someone who has spent a fairly even mix of their career using typed/untyped languages, I think this is due to a few reasons:

- Lower initial learning curve.

- Lower barrier to entry.

Those are real benefits, but I would argue most projects quickly hit a point where they benefit from static analysis.

Having worked with 100s of devs at this point, I'm yet to meet one that after learning a typed language and using it for a sufficient period of time (more than a few months) wants to use an untyped language for anything outside of small scripts.
Google uses fonts to track users? I didn't know that. Man, that's crazy.
