yes in ways, there’s been findings on (post agriculture, much larger than dunbar number) societies in which such hierarchical roles were purely seasonal with roles useful practically or ritualistically becoming devalued off season and tyranny-level powers flipped somewhat in favor of the other side, or even ones which have police forces that are simultaneously clowns and thus kept from overstepping their status with their power (I can elaborate more on details on this one if I look up the citations again from Wengrow’s Dawn of Everything)
“The bottom line:
Sit to do computer work. Sit using a height-adjustable, downward titling keyboard tray for the best work posture, then every 20 minutes stand for 8 minutes AND MOVE for 2 minutes. “

Pretty sensible that movement is key to solution. Long on-camera remote meetings always bug me and I tend to take a few minutes to walk around or pace if I can go camera off.

Ah, yes. The "battle against disinformation." Some may call it censorship. Do I trust any government's definition or characterization of disinformation? Hell, no! That said, tech companies are just as scummy as governments. I don't trust any of them.

> Also Hitler had the massive support of German industrialists, they bailed him out in 1932, and both Thyssen and Schlacht urged Hindenburg to appoint Hitler.

From the essay: “It is easy to say that at one stage of his career he was financed by the heavy industrialists, who saw in him the man who would smash the Socialists and Communists. They would not have backed him, however, if he had not talked a great movement into existence already. ”
Junkbuster --- now that's a name that takes me back! MITM proxies for filtering were far more common back then, but the "security" industry managed to scare most people out of using one, ironically causing them to only remain on corporate networks. I still use Proxomitron for this purpose.
so just to rephrase:

One thing that a lot of people don't know about the jet brain subscription is that the all product price goes down each subsequent year that you continue to subscribe, which is a great incentive. At this point, for me it's only $150 a year.
So Rust gets thrown out of Debian & derivatives, not a big deal. But soon the Linux kernel will depend on a non-free compiler? Huge.
As the other poster said, I meant Manifest v3 (can't edit anymore).

To answer the poster's curiosity, I messed it up by pressing the neighbouring key by accident and not checking sufficiently. :-P
My point is that why are they delaying a hobbyist license, just because the compilers aren't ready. It doesn't make sense.
With shared array buffers it’s not actually a big problem. We’re building a multithreaded game that targets wasm and we just spin up workers up front which all use the same shared memory, and then just use standard concurrency primitives to schedule work on them. Just have to be careful not to block on the main thread, and you have to serve all your assets from the same domain for browsers to allow you to make shared array buffers.
At this point, probably, but in the past when FF had 30% market share? It would've at least forced a serious discussion in the industry on what are acceptable ads. Or maybe it would've been the impetus for a working microtransaction system built into the browser. Instead, they did nothing with their influence.
It's still early stages. So I have like 5 sites build with it so far. Eg my personal site https://podviaznikov.com

But try to signup. It should work for other people too now. It just not polished yet.
> That’s exactly what the industry is aiming for, learned helplessness.

I am wholely in agreement with you but there are some pretty big percentage wise holes that we need to plug.

Namely:

1. Getting ride of coal and Natural Gas power generation (which means replacing with renewables +storage, or fission, none of which are easily deployable)

2. Stopping methane leaks in Oil&Gas pipelines and active/decomissioned wells.
What if they don't and I spent time micromanging my computer for nothing?
That's interesting. Unclipping the rail is a bit of an exercise though. Makes sense that it must be in tension, otherwise it would move on unclipping. I guess they just measure it in the morning. All these types of devices are less practical as soon as you have to disrupt services to do the measurement.
Your idea of the measuring the dynamic response is something that has been investigated. Modal testing is very common (using accelerometers on the rail and a force measuring hammer). The effect would depend on the boundary conditions of the rail (so basically something that varies from site to site) so you would need to track how it changes over time. The engineering problem is how to collect this data easily.
> These are people I care about, who care about me, and who are, today, using FB almost to the exclusion of anything else because they find it convenient and have given up nearly everything else.

Just to be clear-- they send and receive rich content over the FB app (taking and forwarding pictures and/or video, etc.), but they don't know how to send/receive that content through text messages?

Not trying to be unsympathetic-- it's just that every non-technical user of a smartphone I've ever seen degrades to text messages.
My family replaced FB with WhatsApp. So have most of my friends (although with friends it's mostly Signal).

Sure, it's a completely different kind of platform, but it serves well. People post their travel pictures there, people ask random stuff and the group can discuss, we can have private discussions by clicking one name.

Sure, it's still Meta, and there's still a lot of bullshit groups, but at least I don't have to be exposed by it, nor do baby/kid pictures are exposed to the world, nor do I give money to Meta.

Of course, maybe by "Facebook" you mean "Messenger", which is more popular than it should in the US. Replacing FB with WhatsApp or Signal is possible because my family and friends are around Latin America, Europe and Asia, where nobody uses Messenger anyways.
> ... SMS and email, things everyone can use easily.

I beg to differ. I have direct personal experience of a number of people who find FB far, far easier to use than SMS or email. These are close family members in their 90s who don't know how to use email[0], and struggle to use SMSs because of sight problems and physical problems such as arthritis.

I pleased for you that you've been able to avoid people who use FB. I wish you'd grant me the courtesy of accepting that other people have a different experience from yours. I agree with you entirely that MZ is a sociopathic scumbag, but I am unwilling to lose contact with close family members, even though they literally use no communications method other than FB.

[0] Despite using FB they don't use email, because FB was set up for them by others, and they don't even know how to send or receive emails.
>>> ... the idea of 'updating your prior with new information' ...

... dates back to antiquity. I'm not a statistician, but my impression is that Bayesian methods are a way of formalizing that approach. On the other hand, use of the term "prior" is somewhat misleading because the formulas do not specify a time sequence for acquiring information.

I tend to have a lesser view of sprinkling Bayesian terminology into blogs about social issues. That's what I call Bayes Theater.
Another funny example is the one of Juno: a whale Sybil-ed the airdrop, and gathered 10% of the tokens. Then, the community voted to strip the whale of most of their tokens.

I find the example interesting because it shows that Layer 2 protocols can very much strip you away from your coins, just like banks/governments can.

Yes - comfortable people saying that comfort isn't enough for people; they'll still just complain, kill each other and die. Without ever having tried giving people comfort, that will always sound like a rationalization. It's an excuse comfortable people use to excuse everything from the wealth and income gap between US blacks and whites to silencing complaints about UI changes on software projects.

It's a statement that people don't actually want what they say they want, all they want is attention and drama. The logical way to respond is by not acknowledging anything they say, and enforcing the behavior that you want to see, by force if necessary.

The real problem is that improvements in general comfort are difficult, and require lots of force to be organized and applied in a rational way. It's easier just to insure that you and your friends stay comfortable, and to silence or redirect elements that may intrude on that comfort. Ultimately, though, the failure mode on that is catastrophic. Once discontent overwhelms the institutions created to suppress it, the institutions shrink or convert while the discontent grows. Very soon, the discontent becomes the new, young establishment, and if you haven't joined yet, you're now the problem that the new institutions are intended to eliminate.

WASM's sandboxing as implemented in practice is different from JITs. It works by allocating a 4GB region of virtual memory and treating the base address as NULL. Pointers in WASM are 32 bit so they are unable to point outside the region.

The big win is the runtime doesn't need to check pointers for validity. However there are some downsides relative to native code:

1. Can't address more than 4GB of memory

2. Can't be efficiently implemented on 32 bit systems

3. Can't share memory between WASM modules

4. NULL dereferences don't trap (I think)

I would not be surprised if future CPUs had hardware support for this stuff, e.g. load/stores with a mask to confine the pointers.

They should be illegal- the waste of RECHARGEABLE lithium cells in DISPOSABLE vapes is insane. At least in the UK, anywhere there are teenagers these things follow. I'll admit as an electronics hobbyist these can be a good source of free batteries though (hell, it'd probably be cheaper and certainly quicker for me to walk into a vape shop and shuck these for the batteries than it is to buy them online).

Real evil villain stuff tbh- wasting rare metals, getting kids addicted to nicotine, probably shipped by the boatload from China...

You don't even need a grinder unless you make espresso IMO. Filter coffee from pre-ground coffee is pretty good (as long as you drink enough coffee so it doesn't go stale).
if through this the founders were majority holders, they must be, to say the least, some of the most extremely successful business people in all of gaming so far.

Microsoft paid a good sum of money for them before, and then they got spun off, and had successful runs with Destiny, and I'm sure the Activision partnership was lucrative, and now Sony buys them straight for 3.6 Billion USD.

Only Carmack has had this kind of success I think.
And I have quite the feeling it will be identical to compiling one of these "package managed" projects whose dependencies are expressed as Github URLs.
“Developers” is a huge, very heterogeneous group. No single strategy is going to work. Talk to individual developers first, and find some who are receptive to what you’re doing. That will give you a starting point to define what the larger market looks like.
Sounds like you need a challenging personal project that will soak up that unused itch. Something that needs lots of research into hard-to-find resources. And then the mental challenge to fit all of those resources together.

Mine is writing emulators for 40-year-old 'home computers' of the pre-16bit-PC era that can take the few surviving boot-rom images and floppy-images of software of the day and run that software just as the 'real' home-computers did. And of course, I have to make it a GUI program, even though it would be simpler to just run it in a terminal.

Your project is out there. Find it.
> Brie, Camembert, and Parmesan also use starters. Like 99% or more of cheese uses bacterial starter cultures.

So does Pecorino, and if you're on top of your game you can get ricotta so rich that you'd think it was just the curds from the first pass instead of a secondary product from making Pecorino.

The 'fermenti' was a family secret and we weren't allowed to be around when it was made unless you were willing to apprentice for the 5-7 years it took to replace the current shepherd--all I know is that it used the calves stomach for the rennet as I helped slaughter a few, but the way to get the exact pH from the other solutions remains a mystery that likely died with him since he was A creative genius but aN INTOLERABLE manic depressant.

I'm lactose intolerant, but the way this man made his cheeses... it was worth mild suffering and I ate ricotta and fruit for almost everyday and put at least 2-3 different dishes with his Pecorino every day on the changing menu.

Source: I worked and lived on a very well renown farm to table concept and ran the kitchen for a few seasons with an award winning Shepard/Pecorino maker in Italy.
That study has all kinds of confounding variables.

We don't see other respiratory viruses behaving that way, and its more likely that this one won't either.

Topol isn't a very good source either, he's speaking outside of his area of expertise (he's a cardiologist, not an immunologist/virologist/epidemiologist)
I needed a blogging platform for my hyper simple website and I may have found it.

Was annoyed I'd have to pay to have a custom domain but seeing it's a one time payment and not a subscription, I am probably on board.

Personally the minimalism is what drew me more than privacy stuff.
I use virtual cards via privacy.com to pay for subscriptions. I generate a virtual card with a monthly or annual limit on it for each individual subscription service. Each card is backed by my real credit card. When a virtual card is charged, my credit card is charged. If it's charged over card limit, the transaction doesn't go through. The nice thing about this is i can login to my privacy.com account and look at all of my subscription spend. If I ever needed to cancel any subscription I can also burn the virtual card so I don't get over charged.
Probably because of researching numbers for the skyrim alexa edition.

> The fact that people think Orwell agrees with them despite having polar opposite views is a testament to people's laziness, not Orwell's interpretability.

This is common and always amuses me. My favorite is Adam Smith, beloved of the most demonstrably ardent self-described “capitalists” who would be shocked and repulsed by what he actually wrote.

Sometimes this property is considered a feature, not a bug, in particular by Marxists and religious leaders, and doubtless by many more.

As it happens I really love Eric Blair’s writing even when I disagree with him.
Using FB to post photos is really, really easy. Sending photos via SMS costs money under the plans they use.

And you're asking people in their 90s to become familiar with more than one interface when they struggle to understand that "internet" is not "the web", and "the web" is not "Facebook", and worse, they think FB is everything.

And for them, it is. It's the only interface they use.
Slightly better explanation: https://web.archive.org/web/20141114091039/http://math.iit.e...

You still have to figure out their convention for the matrices they're taking eigenvalues of though. Looking at the eigenvalues for K8, it seems to me that their adjacency matrices have 1 on the diagonal, and -1/n wherever there is an edge (n being the degree of the vertex), so that each row sums to 0.

Hardware is also turning into a subscription-like model. You can't upgrade a component on your iPhone or Android without needing to purchase a new phone. With Macbooks, you can no longer update the hard drive, battery, and RAM. You must purchase a new Macbook. Remember the recent story about BMW charging for heated seats in South Korea, another hardware as a subscription idea.

I read that Apple is considering a subscription model for iPhone devices. That will formalize what is already implicit.
I've encountered https://github.com/utterance/utterances, which relies on github issues for providing a blog comments system of a sort.

Alternatively there's https://github.com/giscus/giscus, which instead uses github discussions.

Haven't used either so can't comment (heh) on their "performance".
Henlein's SdP, the Nazi-aligned party of the German minority in Chekoslovakia, got 90% of the vote of that minority in the last elections before the Sudetenland was absorbed by Naz-Germany in 1938. All German women never did vote for the SdP, basically becaise the SdP was a party in Chekoslovakia and not Germany. Also, by 1938, elections were no longer free and thus are a bad baseline.

So, as a matter of fact, the only German women that ever voted for the SdP / Henlein were part of the German minority. And even there, women voted less for SdP than the overall German community did.

That a German minority would be largely in favor joining Germany is propably not a big surprise, is it? And as said, even then women voted less for the SdP.

So please stop posting unsubstantiated claims.

Not exactly the same, but there is FoxyProxy extension which allows to use different proxies based on URI (domain). So you can point your uris to go to outside world via different proxies (say `ssh -D ...` to vps or your vpn gateway or ..)

Technically as it's possible to use multiple profiles you may even be able to configure different sets for the same URLs.
Yeah, Starship Troopers is honestly pretty brilliant. It's an in-world propaganda film complete with commercials. And, like most propaganda, comes off as super silly to us as outsiders.

On the one hand, you have a family that smuggled alcohol and a person who has religious views I don't hold.
