I could remove the lenses and carefully sand the edges slightly with fine sandpaper to create a frosted effect, but I haven't tried it yet.
I get very distracted by continuous animation on a page/app that I'm trying to interact with, to the point of just having to abandon meme-heavy articles or posts if every chunk of content is bookended by great flashy looping gifs or similar internet spew.

Even technical or otherwise useful animated gifs showing the evolution of some system or progression through states or whatever, can be both helpful and absolutely obnoxious if it's autoloop forever with no control.

SuperStop for firefox used to at least allow the halting of gif animation in a heavy-handed nuclear option sort of way, as does uBlock 'element zapper' tools, but if the content isn't immediately good enough to warrant those sorts of readability interventions, I'll probably just bounce.

Electron and other native apps are even worse - good luck if you want a more nuanced control of your animation (including things like animated emoji/stickers/whathaveyou) than LOOP FOREVER or OFF.

IMO, just another reason that things like chat services (Slack, say) that force you via TOS to not make your client usage experience less uncomfortable are a blight on the modern computing ecosystem.

For what it's worth, Svelte https://svelte.dev/ is a Javascript-to-javascript compiler that adds reactive statements to the language (by using the $ label):

$: b = a + 1

Since it's a compiler, it knows what inputs were used in that statement, and what outputs were mutated. The statement is re-run every time its inputs change.

This is then used to make a web development environment where "react to input changing" is much more natural than with e.g. React.
Definitely true. I don't fault any phone for adopting the iPhone's basic innovation of "no buttons on the front, rectangular pane of glass", but you can still have your own unique identity within that framework.

I'm very confused by this... It says Windows 3.1 but the Recycle Bin and screenshot clearly show Windows 9x. The Minesweeper screenshot is definitely from Windows 3.x, though. What sort of wizardry is this?
The difference is people in our industry are typically already taking a huge pay cut. People shuffle in and out but usually they end up back in the audio industry because... well... it's freaking awesome. How many other places can you work where you regularly get rockstars inviting you to hang out backstage because they love your work?

Typically we have more people willing to leave a high paying job just to work in our industry than we have people leaving but, just like any industry, losing experience and contextual knowledge always hurts.
I don't see what they're so mad about. There's no enumerated right of privacy in the Constitution, after all, and it's not deeply rooted in our history and traditions, so they have nothing to complain about. (Alito's words, not mine)

VCs funding a company has nothing to do with innovation

Their goal is to make a profit

That's why we don't have fusion energy yet

And that's why Nuclear plants have stagnated for many decades already

Education is where innovation comes from, it's been like this for centuries (scientific, health, industry) and yet it's been neglected for decades, go look at the salaries of teachers, even in private schools

VC backed startups prevent innovation, look at today, we living a recession since 2008 because the market invested and moved their wealth in for profit pockets

If you invest in schools, you don't expect profit in return, you expect innovation in return

If you invest in a startup, you don't expect innovation in return, you expect profit in return

It is very simple

Galileo wasn't a VC and he wasn't backed by a VC

Even Tesla and SpaceX couldn't be where they are with only just VCs, they had to get massive help from the fed and the government to stay afloat, as well as a shit ton of internships from all around the world to sustain their R&D efforts

> But to put this in context, Shanghai makes up 2% of China's population.

Acknowledging the impact as absolute and sizeable (millions of kids in Shanghai, CN alone) undermines any argument that the impacts are muted and immaterial (See your percentage basis rationale.) Tracing to the original thread, you're acknowledging the significance (and claims by the Economist) , which you opposed earlier.

> That's because it ended (as in, zero new infections) its initial outbreak very quickly.

I don't know man. That "zero new infections" might be true, but it's hard to take China's self-reported figures credibly. See this study showing how CN advertised a death/infection rate ONLY of 1 per 100,000 [0] when all peers are orders of magnitude higher. CN's claims are statistical anomolies.

You don't have to believe it. Literally nothing in your life will change whether you choose to believe this bit of information or not. Either Helion will solve nuclear fusion, or turn out to be another failed startup, but in this instance, your personal beliefs will have no impact on which one happens. So you may as well suspend both belief and disbelief and just wait and see what the reality turns out to be.

So you actually agree with me.

1. I don’t have any problem with OTP-based magic links, if they’re implemented carefully. As you’ve just demonstrated, a 6-digit OTP with 3 retries allowed is not sufficient at scale.

2. I’ve also demonstrated that OP’s proposal to augment the 6-digit code with a “secret” token gives you no additional security. It can only protect against someone peeking over your shoulder to snatch your OTP.

3. As you’ve just demonstrated, increasing the OTP length will mitigate the problem, as it increases entropy. For peace of mind, I’d recommend 64 bits of entropy, which can be achieved with a 13-letter alphanumeric code (case insensitive), or with 5 words from a dictionary of 10 000.

Are there more specific guidelines regarding this? This account is directly linked to my real name/identity, so I use it for posting comments that I'm okay with signing my identity to, and so far have only submitted content of my own creation. It seems that linking my true identity to publicizing something that someone else can change to say whatever they want, is a poor choice, so I have a separate anonymous account that I use to submit articles from the internet at large.

I don't think that what I'm doing is outside the intended spirit of the rule, but I may be wrong here and would love to know if so.

I don't think exchanging money that is tracked and the data is sold is privacy preserving and akin to cash. Honestly, I feel like you didn't read my comment but just ranted because I said cryptocurrencies might have some value (after stating that the vast majority of it is scams).

Here's what the site does behind the scenes:

real_price($ASSET, t) = nominal_price($ASSET, t) * (price_level($NOW) / price_level(t))

Where price_level(t) is the CPI-U series (with interpolation).

If t = $NOW, at the right side of the chart, then the fraction goes to 1, so that

real_price($ASSET, $NOW) = nominal_price($ASSET, $NOW)

(Though many comments are requesting alternative normalization schemes!)

For cash (USDOLLAR), nominal_price(USDOLLAR, t) = 1 for all t -- the nominal price of a dollar bill is always 1. So https://totalrealreturns.com/s/USDOLLAR is plotting a curve that looks like 1/price_level(t). (Actually it's 1*price_level(now)/price_level(t), because of the normalization above.) And you can download price_level(t) from https://download.bls.gov/pub/time.series/cu/.

> can he offer a reason for why Doordash can be losing so much money

Just speculation, but Doordash is obviously loosing some money due to poorly implemented "tests" like these, and who knows what other experiments-at-a-loss they are running.

Maybe if they toned down their "web scraping auto delivery option" program, and who knows what else, they could show a profit (and maybe they know this). But why bother if you can get away with it, and something truly innovative and profitable may come out of it.
I don't think it is unethical, to accept the deal that Doordash for some reason decided to offer. I mean you'd have to read the fine print I guess since you have a relationship with Doordash as the customer using their app, which probably has some contract.

It may be possibly ethically questionable to intentionally post a menu that Doordash's automated system will misinterpret (which would clearly be possible in this case, since they figured out that Doordash was charging the plain slice price for the custom one, so they could just drop the plain slice price to $1). I mean, again they didn't ask Doordash to start this relationship and they don't have any contract, so... I guess their obligation would be to honor the $1 plain slice for anyone who wants it. Maybe make it a $1 no-cheese, no-sauce slice.

Another option would be to spread word about the community that Doordash offers a $8 discount on your pizza. Like, if you tell the person "hey, order on Doordash to this address, they'll give you a $8 discount and we just have to have a dude come hand the pizza off from me to you" right before they get to the register... seems pretty ethically clean to me, you are just informing people of an offer you heard about, you have no contract or relationship with Doordash, right?

Thanks, that is interesting. I mentioned Rust because of its broader use and apparent growth trajectory. Ie, to have the likeliest most uses in the most places, with minimal re-learning of a new language to work on a new codebase. Or to increase the odds when possible, at least (scripting but also Linux kernel use, etc).

I will keep D more in mind though...is it on openbsd? (Edit: I see it is probably at least there via gcc, at least.)

Honestly just having microsoft software adhere to apple human interface guidelines and the menu system improves it infinity percent (∞%)

Using office360 is a confusing jumbled mess.

I can't help but think it's on purpose.

I remember talking to an ex-microsoft guy decades ago about some incompatibility with some third party thing. I said sometimes new engineers didn't know how their software would be used or interact with other stuff. He told me not to be naive. Microsoft had meetings trying to figure out "how can we own this?"
>>Would be nice for Apple (or someone) to build more features around that so it's easy to see recurring charges and bills automatically.

That's why they do it I believe. But if they pair that up with subscription management it would be nice. Interestingly they do this exact thing with App Store subscriptions. You can cancel anytime it's done through Apple, and not the service/app you subscribed to.

There's a lot of money in games, yes, but much of that flows into large game studios using their own engines and the production costs are also high.

Unity is primarily used by smaller game developers and there is much less money available there.
"Wafers", i.e. the capacity of fabs to process silicon into chips. This capacity is more or less fixed at time of fab construction; if you want to expand, you need to buy more wafer processing machines from ASML. There is a queue for these as well.

The nastier problem is that most of the microcontrollers are probably on older wafer processes (e.g. 65nm), and nobody wants to build a new old line.

So it's up to the part suppliers to rework the design for e.g. 22nm if space becomes available on newer lines.
What a weird partnership, all that anti netflix FUD for that? whos next, Unity? wait..
Would you also be fine with people filming you through your windows? Why not, after all it's visible from a public space with the right angle. And windows are just part of another kind of "fence".

In the end it's private property and that makes it private by default. Nobody can forbid you from looking at it, but imho filming is just as invasive as parking the car there while having greater potential for abuse. Filming has intent that goes farther than just randomly looking around.

I didn't see it that way at all at first; what it initially reminded me of is when Latin characters appear in otherwise-Chinese or Chinese-produced documents (most familiar example: the manual leaflet that comes with a cheaply produced electronic widget). But after reading your comment, I can see it that way as well. I think the difference is that it's monospace, which is an attribute of the Chinese documents because the Chinese text usually fits on a grid; and Apple would never use monospace that way (I'm sure there's a folklore.org story about how important proportional font rendering was to Jobs).
But does it generalize? $a > 10 is easy but what if you want "where $a and $b are coprime"? Or a subtype of the integers of all prime numbers.
That depends on how fast you're sending it, how you are sending it, how precise it is, and if edge calculations have to be run, and calibration workloads.
Third attempt: it's not! The Bitcoin blockchain is not suitable for day-to-day transactions like buying a Slurpee. You should use your watch and a centralized database to do "offchain" BTC transactions instead[0]. The real question is: why is BTC better than fiat (e.g. USD)? This is what I attempted to answer in my topmost comment.

[0] Or better, use the lightning network. As an end user, its benefit over more centralized alternatives like Paypal or credit cards is that it's an open network. You don't have to ask permission and open an account to start using it. Also, low fees. Also, your account can't be frozen or confiscated. Also, it works everywhere in the world and there are no extra fees for international payments. Also, you can do peer-to-peer transactions.

Eastern Germany had another authoritarian surveillance state after the Third Reich. I have no good reason to be confident that it will not happen again. It could as well happen in the US, considering recent history.

An authoritarian surveillance state that is paired with digital surveillance is the grim reality of at least hundreds of millions today and that model seems to be on the rise internationally.

Here (Aotearoa) the tax authorities are not interested in rats and mice. I play in a rock band as a hobby. Occasionally we get paid ($300 is the most ever).

We had a promoter not pay us because we had "not given him the tax forms".

I contacted our tax authorities and was told, in no uncertain terms, if it is a hobby, if you are not making serious money, do not tell us about it. Please do not tell us.

We have a transaction tax here that merchants have to charge and pay, but only when their revenues top $50,000

So there are two data points that indicate that not every transaction incurs tax
During the good times, you are correct that few people hoarded money in the hopes of deflation. During bad times, people actually do make this calculation (and so might be hamburger instead of steak). Deflation is believed to have significantly prolonged and worsened the Great Depression, and that experience was one of the motivating factors behind the global abandonment of the gold standard.
