Really? You can’t think of any examples of any other country doing this?
I sense a religious undertone... The type that would force the sanctity of marriage at all costs to avoid 'sin' and save face with God. Maybe also with some warped victim blaming and sexism thrown in for good measure, topped with a generous helping of sanctimony.

This is saying that SQLite allows reads and writes to happen simultaneously, but it's still single-writer. There's a WIP branch to add concurrent writes.

> Usually, SQLite allows at most one writer to proceed concurrently. The BEGIN CONCURRENT enhancement allows multiple writers to process write transactions simultanously if the database is in "wal" or "wal2" mode, although the system still serializes COMMIT commands.

I care about open smartphones, but not to the extent that I care about other things.

A de-Googled Android or iOS device with a judicious selection of apps is good enough to fulfill 80% of the "geek device" use case segment (though not at the same time - de-Googled Android is better at running arbitrary software, whereas iOS seems to be better at painless privacy). I'm just not invested enough in open smartphones to fight PinePhone's software immaturity, or to spend crazy amounts of cash on a Librem.

On the other hand, I was an adopter of the Pinebook, and will be for (affordable) productivity VR as soon as I get the chance. For both of these form factors, I'm more than happy to write 80% of the UI I use if it gives me what I want otherwise.
a release pipeline for 3.11 would set the project up nicely for 3-5 years at least! definitely post it on HN if you get it working.
If it serves files it’s a fucking server, even if it’s just serving static HTML, CSS, and JS files.
Okay, I get what you're saying now. As an alternative, you could hold it in landscape mode - then you can press the buttons with both hands without having to rotate it.
When interviewers ask me what my greatest weakness is I tell them "I'm too honest." If they tell me they don't consider that a weakness I tell them "I don't give a f*ck what you think."
Dendron is built around the dot.namespace.hierarchies which are a nifty way to organize your PKM and implement "Folder Notes" feature. Foam is more traditional, file system based. Very like Obsidian, like I said. I was able to _sense_ the extra man hours Dendron's had but yeah, otherwise basically the same.
Show HN: Peerdiem — Discover and discuss one painting a day
Hi everyone,
I made Peerdiem (a portmanteau word between Peer and Per Diem, which means Per Day in latin).
The idea is very simple, a new painting or artwork to discover and discuss with your peers every day.

Content is currently only fetched from Chicago Art Institute Free API [1] but I'm planning to add more sources in the short future.

It was built with a couple of technologies I wanted to try for some time. Frontend is made with Preact and styled with Tailwindcss. Backend consists of an FastAPI app deployed in a Docker container.

Yes, people need it. Had to use Telegram for it recently, because Matrix didnt have it at that time, and I don't have WhatsApp.
Agreed.

What's the real performance cost of the lookahead on an average/decently written page?

Terrible philosophy to base the design on implementation details of the engine. Unless it can be shown that performance will degrade significantly for the average page, which I suspect not
No, I think it’s a conspiracy theory because it’s poorly argued and full of insinuation, following the classic pattern of expecting the reader to fill in the gaps. This is how it magically becomes a negative when someone works to make free software compatible with modern hardware in a way most users want.
I think Metaverse is still firmly into data collection, just a different type of data. Not long ago they were hiring folks with expertise in physiology, analyzing biosignals (HR, HRV, galvanic skin response, gaze analysis) [0], which - if used in ad tech - could lead to nightmarish dystopian scenarios. Metaverse would also give them access to data about all of the things you do during your time there, including all websites you visit, everything you say, and - thanks to the physio data - how you feel about the interactions with websites, ads, and other people.

On the one hand, Metaverse could be wonderful for keeping in touch with loved ones and for, e.g., health monitoring. On the other, I am very concerned that Mark Z. will create another FB hell.

Literally, my Grandma uses Mastodon! It is not hard! Many of us are old enough to remember a time (before gmail became the de-facto standard) when we had to hand-hold non-technical friends and family members through the process of choosing an email provider. Choosing a Mastodon/Matrix server is pretty much the same thing. Once you have an account on the server, there is pretty much nothing no downsides even for non-technical users...
Then why no custom clients?
I liked the colon as well but the problem is

i {
font-variant: italic;

::hover {
color: pink;
}
}

Is that ::hover or : :hover? As in

i::hover

Or

i :hover

I think strictly speaking it is clear (it's the first one, as : is mandatory), but it doesn't look clear.

Like

input {
border: 3000px groove purple;
color: transparent;

:::placeholder {
color: revert;

They are dead serious about supporting legacy stuff, and it long predates the advent of PR. They've been doing it for 100 years, and it's part of their DNA.

If you go to one of their service centers (there's a lot fewer of them, nowadays), in the back, you will often find camera bodies and parts for cameras that are fifty years old. They won't necessarily fix it under warranty, but they'll definitely try to fix it, if possible.

When 9/11 happened, they had cameras in the Melville service center from The Pile, covered with that dust, and they busted their butts to get them fixed up and back out there.

They are a very old company, and take their work seriously. There's lots of things to complain about, with them, but they are serious about Legacy.
I’ve been hoping to be able to use multiple apps and sync between the ones that use text files. It seems like this may be wishful thinking. Obsidian and Logseq don’t appear compatible from the article based on Logseq adding things?

I have a link saved to sync Noteplan 3 (Apple ecosystem only) with Obsidian. I have my Noteplan folder indexed with DEVONthink (Apple ecosystem only) so that syncs up. Having Logseq sync up would be cool too.
Okay, nuance et cetera, but can cheaters have the basic human decency to recognize that they're making a choice which is harmful to their family in order to benefit themselves? Or is that asking too much self-awareness?
I remember being so inspired by this to go on and hack together my own system back then.

How well does this approach work when communicating outside your organization with non-shortwave users? Seems challenging to degrade the experience gracefully.
I never had the Spinwelder but remember seeing it in the back of the Sears catalog. One of my favorite toys as a 70's kid, the Vertibird toy helicopter:

http://www.timepassagesnostalgia.com/&searchkeywords=vertibi...

Like any good helicopter toy I was unable to fly it when I first woke up on Christmas and shoved the batteries in. You actually had to control the lift (not a collective but speed control on the rotor) and the pitch. Too much pitch and you lose lift so had to compensate with extra lift.

By the New Years I was flying like a pro, swinging around and pulling back on the pitch to reverse thrust and stop over a dime....

My favorite "make stuff toys" of the 70's were my Erector set and Lego set of course.

But then I also had this trippy Buckminster-Fuller-meets-Light-Bright building toy called an Astrolite:

I've reported them to abuse@sendgrid.com hoping that - given enough complaints - some action is taken from their side.
From my understanding I can't delete myself from their sendgrid campaign/list since they only allow to unsubscribe from all their types of newsletters, meaning my mail address (which is public in my GH commit history anyways, but that's missing the point) will stay

Ok, it’s just an idea, I thought it was relevant to the situation at hand — I don’t think it’s necessary to call my lack of ignorance ‘remarkable,’ I actually have worked before :)
The closed space of a group chat with friends worsens the loneliness epidemic? And arguing with random strangers on Reddit alleviates it? It's very much the opposite. Big, open and often anonymous social spaces are terrible at making you feel part of a group. Spaces with few people who you actually know and like and can depend on are key to not feeling lonely, and yes they tend to be closed.
I read the obituary before I realized that I had seen Meow Wolf before. There had been a TikTok video of someone opening up a dryer, crawling through it to this crazy psychedelic room. It blew my mind and I remember thinking, jesus christ whoever built this is on another level.

I feel sad even though I never met the guy.
Okay, sounds reasonable. Except that peer review is a volunteer activity. Who is going to pay for all of these replication studies? Where does that money come from? If we can’t increase funding budgets, which are already paid extremely paltry, you’ve effectively cut research output in half. Maybe that’s a win, maybe not.

This reminds me of the welfare debate. On one hand, we could erect a giant bureaucracy to take a fine tooth comb over every application to make sure only the “worthy” get aid, which creates holes through which needy people fall. Or we can accept that driving fraud to 0 is impossible and get rid of the bureaucracy, then put the savings toward more aid. Sure some unworthy people will get it, but others who are worthy (and otherwise wouldn't have) will, and that’s more important.
I think that's the time to market it not the time to release it. You want a stable service for people to switch to.

As an example, counter.social used the musk/Twitter debacle to drive users to their site
Defend companies all you like but interviewing is exhausting, sometimes you've been out of the game for a while and you absolutely do need the feedback.

If I hadn't pressed the issue with two companies about a year ago I would have never found out that me being kind of cheerful in interviews came across as being overconfident to one team.

(And btw I did solve their homework with something like 95% grade so me saying "heh, how hard can it be" was in fact completely representative of my knowledge and abilities -- there was no actual overconfidence.)

Another team told me that they liked me but they were still concerned that I switched jobs several times the two years before the interview. I told them that having such a bias but still wasting the time of the candidate is not cool. They begrudgingly acknowledged and said sorry and we went our own merry ways.

In both of these cases I passed all oral interviews, people liked me, and the CTO was impressed by the quality of the homework's solution. Yet -- a rejection. Sure, there are other reasons, I understand that. But have I not asked and promised not to pursue further discussion of their negative feedback, I would have never found out.

And I want to find out. I want to know.

So honestly, I don't care if it's "harder" for you or "it takes time". You used the time of the candidate and they have nothing to show for it after. You owe them a feedback at least.
"Facebook cares a great deal about its users--advertisers."

The elephant in the room is advertising tracking. Nothing to facebook matters. If I as an advertiser can't see what I am paying for, I am leaving. Advertisers DO NOT want to pay for impressions - they want to pay for conversions (clicks/installs/etc). Without a way to see if a particular ad spend converted - all ad spend ends. Facebook could now be doomed. Apple has changed its policies [1] to help its users to remove advertiser tracking. Mobile has taken over almost all impressions.

"They're throwing whatever they can think of at the wall to see if anything sticks." They are beyond fucked here. Whatever they create, apple is blocking tracking. So new products/features do NOT matter. They need a way to figure out tracking - I don't have a solution (besides leaving and just using apple store iads).

I don't care that it's XML, but I do care that I can't send encrypted messages or make A/V calls to Matrix users simply because they choose to reinvent the existing standard.

Standardization is much more important than which encoding is popular right now.

But still, XML is easily compressed, parsers are much faster than required for IM and XMPP servers and clients are much more memory and CPU efficient, XML or not.

I don't think what you describe is actually the goal of this proposal.

I don't think anyone involved in the standards-making is looking at how many bytes of CSS would be saved -- I don't think the number is likely to be significant to anything, and I don't think this is the motivation.

My understanding is that the intention is really to make CSS pre-processing less necessary, take features that people have found the need to have preprocessors for, and put them in the standard so the preprocessors aren't necessary for those features.

I feel like I've seen some of the undesirability of preprocessors in my experience with sass/scss, which is having to make backwards incompatible changes in order to avoid conflicts with the evolution of CSS underneath it. Also just having to setup the pre-processor can actually be a significant infrastructure burden -- Rails had to kind of completely change how it supported SCSS when SASS moved to supporting dart-sass as essentially it's only supported implemnetation (no more libsass or ruby-sass). And then what happens when one of your dependencies uses scss and another uses postcss. I understand the desire to get back to not using pre-processors.

You can definitely have your own goals and motivations and encourage people participating in this user poll to adopt them too. But if they aren't the goals the committee is working towards, they're unlikely to be achieved very well... and there are probably reasons they aren't.
For the Dublin whiskey fire:

> People drank the 6 inches (150 mm) deep river of whiskey that is said to have flowed as far as the Coombe. None of the fatalities suffered during the fire were due to smoke inhalation, burns, or any other form of direct contact with the fire itself; all of them were attributed to alcohol poisoning.

No one was killed as a result of the fire. They all died from drinking to much of the river of whiskey. Wow
Controlling AR is the what they're fighting for, it should be plainly obvious to Zuckerberg now that Facebook really screwed up by not building a mobile hardware platform while Apple and Google did. It's too late for that but they're actually really in the running for releasing the best hardware platform for AR.

He talks a lot about the Ready Player One VR Metaverse idea but really it's more about getting glasses on your face that brings IG/WhatsApp/FB/ETC into the room and world around you, same thing Apple is working towards too. If he doesn't pull it off Meta will essentially always be in a position of weakness against Google and Apple who control the only platforms that matter going forward.

Whoever manages to make the iPhone of AR will essentially be the conduit between all human interaction and IRL commerce going forwards. Zuckerberg realizes just how locked down the next generation of platforms are gonna be and how it's gonna become very difficult for his existing products to make money in that space if he doesn't have a beachhead on it.

FB has enjoyed crazy monopoly software margins for so long, this culture shift will be next to impossible to pull off.

Zuck is right in that there are huge numbers of employees there for who are unsuited for the ambiguous and tough slog of finding a new market. I would guess this number is greater than 80% of their workers.

So this is my own conspiracy rabbit hole…

I get the impression all of these sites that use quick 10-15 second video clips followed by screenshots of a tweet or quote are a dystopian method of controlling human behavior.

It seems like a way to implant a thought or feeling and minimize critical thinking.

In the past social media sites reddit / facebook had great comment sections and links to actual articles. Although this still exists (to some extent and on niche subreddits for example) it seems to be rapidly changing to screenshot of a tweet, or quote or a short video clip. Followed by one line responses or even just a single emoji.

For example you will see a quote from politician x … as a screenshot …. ughh that makes me so mad!!! But little context is provided about the quote, when it was said, was it actually said and is the the expanded text available to help understand.

Nope it’s .. just a quick emotion that makes me mad!!… followed by scroll to cat video #532

Watching people sitting at parks, waiting for a bus, waiting at a restaurant … lots of the same … scroll scroll … giggle giggle… go political team A they are saving world … ugghh political team B is so bad and makes me mad they hate everyone … scroll .. scrolll .. did you know if you eat Kale you live forever … scroll … scroll

Just something really off putting about this experience IMO. Seems very shallow / minimal thinking …
None of these seems meaningfully different enough for me to care. I could see myself getting used to any of them. Will be very happy when this goes through.
That shows a misunderstanding of how architecture, transport system design, and computer chips are built.

The important elements are calculated. TThey're not created with an airy wave of the hand and some vague hopes.

Transport flows, airliner wings, electronic circuits, and more are literally engineered with differential equations. Voice + gesture is not an effective way to work with them.

A more plausible benefit would be visibility of more parts of the system at the same time. This could be especially useful for software. Multiple wall-sized zoomable displays of all the elements in a big project would be much easier to work with than our current small screens, which provide tiny windows into a very much larger space.
Sure, I'm not arguing there aren't genuinely beneficial uses of FB, et al. I was responding to:

That will just encourage the people doing more serious work to either buy their own equipment, setup a shared professional workspace or rent from another business off hours. In all cases they'd stop coming to the maker space. which robs the maker space of the most experienced mentors. If they're a small business with income then they can even take out a small business loan for the equipment. Unity's model works because you can't swap out Unity without a lot of time investment. That's not the case for commodity equipment.
Sounds like absolute nonsense to me. Blockchain is irrelevant.

What they want is platform control over the next big medium.
