No, you can't record with OBS. The entire point of WV L1 is that nothing in Userland can see the pixels because they are not composited until the last second of the hardware's output path. You will just get black pixels, and no software running in the general purpose OS can do anything about that.

If it can, then it's not a Widevine Level 1 setup.

And yes, a HDMI splitter could, but that is completely irrelevant to what I said, which was about the inability to do screen recording before the HDMI output.
They're referring to the following argument in the queer community:

- Some people (mostly young people - people below the age of ~25) believe that being 'gay' or 'lesbian' is about gender (e.g. a woman attracted to a pre-op trans woman can still be a lesbian, but a woman attracted to a trans man wouldn't be). Others (mostly older people) believe that being 'gay' or 'lesbian' is about sex (e.g. a woman attracted to a pre-op trans woman is bi but a woman attracted to a trans man can be a lesbian).

Honestly, I think we should just have different terms for each. It's clear that there ARE large amounts of people attracted to (basically) either femininity or masculinity as opposed to bodies, so why don't we make a term for that just like we did for lesbians and gay men? That's what humans do.

The main thing I'm concerned about is how mean the young people are to those who don't agree. It doesn't impact me much, but I do worry about the messages young homosexuals are getting from their peers: There's a large conflation of being attracted to someone with moral approval which is...gross. Basically 'if you're not attracted to trans people, you're a transphobe.' Which isn't how any of this works, but teenagers listen to their peers because developmentally, that's what they need to do.

The person replying to you isn't correct that they want to 'change' the definition, though. It's more that we (the queer community) didn't bother nailing down which definition it was when the queer community was small enough that the issue rarely came up, but now it does and it turns out a lot of us disagree.

That's as neutral a run-down as I can give you. The person replying to you is on the 'it's sex based' side of the fence and I get the sense they're testing out whether they can discuss such things here, since a lot of queer/gay spaces online have very much Chosen A Side, and since the internet is full of young people and they have more time, it's mostly the young people's side.
The same NYT reporting was also given a treatment in The Daily[0]. I did explain in numbered items above how I think the history is not adequately accounted for. My comment wasn't that they didn't address it, but that they didn't give it due weight. It's also worth mentioning that the absence of an event from a putatively authoritative history can say more about the historian than the event. For example, the bombing of Black Wall Street has not been taught in US history classes, but it is still quite important in explaining the modern order of American society. We don't teach it because we don't like what it says about us.

That's not the actual size of Haiti's reparations to France though - it's completely imaginaary, hypothetical money that the New York Times is claiming Haiti would've made if not for the evil colonialists ruining their economy through reparations. The actual total reparations according to that article were $560 million in today's dollars, or between a fortieth to a two hundreth of how much the NYT is claiming it really cost Haiti. That claim should probably be taken with a massive pinch of salt given the quality of their reporting on race, slavery and colonialism of late.

Just the way they seem to be comparing the supposed cost of those reparations over all time to one year of GDP here seems pretty slimy. The part you quoted is clearly intended to make an inattentive reader think Haiti's GDP would've been eigth times larger if not for reparations, but not only is that not what it actually says, it's impossible to tell how big the supposed loss is compared to the size of their economy - the two are stated in incomparable ways.

> specifically agreed country is utterly corrupt mess, government after government, with tight coupling to <bad people>.

Isn't that (citizens thinking that) the same for most countries in the world?

Like I'm pretty sure many US citizens would say the same.

Or UK citizens.

Or German citizens.

Or <insert EU member state> citizens.

Or Singapore, Australia, china, japan.

etc.

through they might mean different thing when they say "corrupted mess".

And yes, all the mentioned states are corrupt to different degrees in different way. But I think finding citizens which would describe their country as "corrupt mess" isn't a problem (except if they are afraid about repercussions).
More often than not, I have found the Google results for highly specialized topics and areas that I know well enough to Google, but not remember all of the details, to be very sub-par, superficial, or rudimentary in nature.

It seems like there is a lack of good quality highly specialized information that flies under the radar or just isn't indexed properly. I have now turned to hn.algolia.com [1] for certain specific searches, as well as in the process of downloading entire archives of books (PDFs and ePUBs) that I will be running OCRmyPDF [2] on just to ensure search-ability.

This way, I know for a fact I can search for almost any topic of relevance and it will be indexed/cached on my local machine.

Google has gotten terrible at displaying information that is very niche and or highly specialized and I want to take that control back into my own hands.

Technically a tweet could form a binding contract, but yes, my point is he publicly announces things, then changes his mind, rather than thinking about if he does actually want to do the thing before wasting everyone's time.
Wow! I had been to a few of the offices in the place mentioned in the article and in 2018 I had to visit the home (a Villa inside APR) of a potential big customer. As I drove in with my co-founder through the checks and meandered toward the Villa, the first thing that escaped from my lips were, “Did we just landed somewhere in California?” It looked extremely close to the place of my long-time late business partner's home in South Pasadena -- kid's bike on the patio, manicured lawns, garages with seagull cars parked.

Of course, there are the usual well-boxed apartment complex within the massive compound but these Villas are the epitome of a self-contained bubble in Bangalore. The entrance to the place from the main road is even not easy to navigate for first-timers.

However, the biggest dread now in Bangalore is stepping out of our home or the complexes. Many of the roads remind me of final destination every time I drove out.

Disclosure: I'm also hiding in another community where my neighbors are the founders, and similar suites in many Indian Startups, including quite a few expats transplanted by Indian Company acquisitions of International Companies. And yes, the Third Wave co-founder is one and I got his home-made coffee during the Pandemic delivered at my doorstep (cool guy). Also, I find that the term "Third-Wave Coffee" and "Peak Bengaluru" always tend to go hand-in-hand. ;-)

I will post here the first paragraph of [1], as it directly provides this bit of information:

"The Haiti indemnity controversy involves an 1825 agreement between Haiti and France that included France demanding a 150 million franc indemnity to be paid by Haiti in claims over property – including Haitian slaves – that was lost through the Haitian Revolution in return for diplomatic recognition, with the debt costing Haiti $21 to 115 billion of economic growth over a period of two centuries and affecting the nation to this day. The payment was later reduced to 90 million francs in 1838, comparable to US$21 billion as of 2004, with Haiti paying about 112 million francs in total.[4] Over the 122 years between 1825 and 1947 the debt severely hampered Haitian economic development as payments of interest and downpayments totaled a significant share of Haitian GDP yearly, constraining the use of domestic financial funds for infrastructure, public services and ultimately making the nation ungovernable."

Without wishing to defend it, the gotcha here is "numbers you name". Rational numbers are "named" by putting together a string of digits. That is not possible for the irrationals so the only ones we can name are a handful with alphabetic names. There are more sheep in a field than those.

Batteries are limited by charge/discharge C rates, which is relative to the size of the pack. Which means not only would your range go down, but so would performance and charge speed.

You can push batteries harder, but they’ll generate more heat and degrade faster (lower cycle life). This ends up counterintuitively in a higher long term cost of ownership.

Good news is C rates are getting better over time.
The debt with France does not have any explanatory power as to why the DR's and Haiti's economic fates diverged though. Even if the debt held Haiti back from the glory it would have otherwise seen, or stagnated its economic development by many decades, we would still expect Haiti's economy to grow AFTER the debt was paid off to a much greater extent than it did.

There to me, is clearly more afoot here than the evils of France.

If I may gripe about C for a bit though. I do truly appreciate C's portability. It's possible to target a very diverse set of architectures and operating systems with a single source. Still, I do wish it would actually embrace each architecture, rather than try to mediate between them. A lot of my gripes with C are due to undefined behaviour which is left as such because of platform differences. I've never seen my program become faster if I remove `-fwrapv -fno-strict-aliasing`, but it has resulted in bugs due to compiler optimisations. I really wish by default "undefined behaviour" would become "platform-specific behaviour", with an officially blessed way to tell the compiler it can perform farther optimisations based on data guarantees.

C occupies a very pleasant niche where it lets you write software for the actual hardware, rather than for a VM, while still being high level enough to allow for expressiveness in algorithms and program organisation. I just wish by default every syntactically valid program would also be a well-defined program, because the alternative we have now makes it really hard to reason about and prove program correctness (i.e. that it does what you think it does).
Linux will never get better than 720p, and maybe even 480 in some circumstances as it's unlikely your machine can pass up a signed HDCP chain of trust.

(Somebody will point out that HDCP support was added to the Linux Kernel here, but it was added for the use of the kernel on closed hardware where you can have a hardware root of trust and signed drivers, not a general purpose Linux machine.)

I keep a relatively large amount of notes (1), which are fundamental to my learning.

My notes are essentially books in markdown format, which I can open with the editor/IDE I use when working on any project.

My opinions are:

- the vast majority of the effort is spent on cataloguing knowledge when adding new notes (that is, keeping each book consistently structured); this is something that no tool can do, and as a consequence, any tool will probably do equal.

- a consequence of the cataloguing effort is that the brain better remembers the topics stored.

- searching is where the other effort goes; I've found that as long as the books are consistently structured, and one puts a bit of effort to make concepts easily findable, a textual search does well. probably, a tool to do fulltext search may help in some cases, but I rarely find the need

- there are interesting differences between doing a google search and searching a stored concept: 1. the stored concept is processed 2. the search follows my brain organization, not a search engine's

- I do only very basic cross-referencing; my method will probably be inadequate if this is a requirement

For things that require rote memorization (say, System-V x64 calling conventions), I use Anki.

I take notes almost only for computer/science related stuff. If I had to catalogue diverse topics, I'd probably just use subdirectories.

And assessment of complexity is the heart of estimation.

Haiti had to be punished for its successful slave revolt and overthrow of its colonial master. Not just by that spurned overlord, but others who feared their own subjects looking at Haiti as a success and learning from it.

Yes, this is boiling down a lot of elements and caveats that can (and should!) Be made but at the core this is what happened.
I don't see your point. The quote in question in no way implies slavery didn't exist in Africa at the time, and the fact that slavery did exist in Africa in no way alleviates the immorality of the transatlantic slave trade. (I guess you could make an argument that capturing slaves is morally different from transporting and owning them, but I don't think it is substantially.) The article also doesn't say who ripped them away from Benin. Certainly political systems in existence in Benin at the time were involved. But that doesn't mean the horror or impact to the slaves was lessened. So, overall, I don't see what the purpose of your comment is unless it's an attempt as European slave trade apologia.
> Not to mention, even Deuterium is not actually that easy to obtain, as you need to either get it from fossil fuels (the way it is mostly obtained today) or from water hydrolysis, which is another waste of your produced energy.

This is really not an honest critique. The cost of obtaining deuterium is quite low compared to all the other costs of building and operating a fusion reactor.
Just reading the beginning of the article, and I couldn't help re-re-emphasizing how critical it is - as a manager at any level - to conduct "exit interviews" with your report-tos and other dependents, right when taking over a group. This was one of the best methods I leveraged, in my over 25 yrs career, in all sorts of low or senior management positions, i.e. serious "exit interview" with any team I got anew, which helped me gage some of the insides. Simple questions like "why would you leave today, should X, Y and Z be no different somewhere else" and "why would you stay, should X, Y and Z be better somewhere else", etc., of course with very well refined variations on the X, Y and Z and topics derived from the initial questions, depending on the environment. And I always warned the folks about the "exit interview", and given some hints on what questions I may be asking, to let them prepare for the actual conversations to be had on this topic.

None of this addresses the criticism levied in the article, nor does it defend xz's inconsistent design decisions that are all over the place.

Why shouldn't we try to squeeze the highest rate of data recovery out of the unlikely event that we're left with the only remaining copy if it costs nothing extra (just the choice of one archiver over another)?

Should you choose xz for future archival purposes? No.

Should Debian make an active effort to switch away from xz now? Probably not, as their primary concern is distribution, not archival, and xz is good enough.

I wonder if LLVM is more open for keeping support for ancient systems like this in-tree than gcc.

I know a few people working on an LLVM backend for SGI MIPS CPUs, for example.

As I understand it, keeping an LLVM backend updated with the main compiler is far less work than keeping a GCC backend up-to-date, so the burden for supporting exotic/ancient systems is much lower

These are the endemic issues I have experienced after working for several SaaS vendors:

1) Rampant tech debt. Engineers are not empowered to fix it or their focus is on something else.

2) High barrier of entry. Most SaaS companies are bad at onboarding engineers or they simply don't care, usually because C-level staff and investors work towards sales metrics.

3) Mismanagement. Passive engineering managers who spend most of their time attending obscure meetings and expect individual contributors to chase them, maverick employees who do more harm than good, antisocial behaviour due to having no conduct expectations, etc.

My personal opinion is that nowadays SaaS engineering is akin to being a miner during some mineral rush. You can make significantly more money than the average Joe in exchange for a shorter life expectancy.

This sounds like it's written by someone who's only been in teams that do point estimations. Those are, almost by definition, 100 % incorrect because even small variations mean you're not done exactly when you said you'd be done.
