wrestled through a video presentaion. How I see it is the author found a way to generate a script that is both notes and commands-in-a-shell that you can execute step by step. e.g. "how to install <xyz>". That way it functions as a sort of knowledge repository, i guess.
However, I have a hard time understanding the author as he has a very difficult way of presenting...
Despite that, there must be something to learn here, i think. Keeping this on my to-read list.

There are plenty of trusted places that you can get clean cracks and keygens that have been thoroughly tested.

That being said, a small file size doesn't mean anything in the case of most cracks/keygens because you have to give them admin access to your system. Which means it can download and install anything it wants in the background.

Thanks for the clarification I see now what your getting to. I agree having proper packages makes sense at some point in a project's maturity, as you have more infrastructure, checks, and gates to ensure that what you requested is 'valid', and the system produces enough logs/data to compare to other systems to detect drift/compromise. I tend to see if a project gets popular enough, with enough eyeballs/contributors, official packages tend to become inevitable.

Since we've passed the trust gate up to this point for discussion purposes, I still wonder if there is a better model for young projects. Its not just we have multiple package formats, its the per distro/version matrix that tends to bite small developers and projects on time commitment. I would like to see something better than 'curl | sh' that is practical and portable across the unix-y ecosystem. Perhaps a third-party checksum db that caches valid script hashes ala golang sumdb or similar. Seems ripe for improvement.

> The weirdest is that some ISP are blocking it and some are not. So why is that the case? Are some ISP not listening to the government?

Please, please, please don't include these sentences in any email you send to Indian govt. My ISP usually doesn't listen to the blocking instructions and most sites are unblocked, if you ask these questions directly to the government maybe they will go all in and enforce this rule. This blocklist is quite lax and not enforced with much severity, but if my government figures it out that there are many local ISPs who don't use the blocklist, the government they might start enforcing it more severity.

> In any case, the Blue-Rays sitting on your shelf aren't much better than some streaming service.

My oldest CDs are now 38 years old and still play fine. Of course some discs are better made than other, of course storage condition counts, of course -compared to CDs and DVDs- Blurays add another layer of copy protection, but overall I find this idea of streaming services not being better than a disc on a shelf for preservation pretty "funny". With streaming services you own nothing.
Although I'm not sure, this [1] could be the reason. TLDR: A chinese hacker group took the official exe, added a malicious dll in it and distributed it to NGOs and government institutions, most likely through a clone website or phishing email. Purpose was said to be espionage.

Ofcourse the Indian media reported that the official VideoLAN org was controlled by the said hacker group which leveraged it's position to distribute malware.

It is a general phenomenon, nothin the game industry has exclusive rights to.

Stubbornness, cognitive dissonance are my explanations. I witnessed quite a few projects, whose deadlines got postponed for more than 6 month. Now comes the exciting part. These managers had a track record of postponing or more neutral: experiencing delay. Instead of fewer crunch time during the next projects, they stick to their previous behavior instead of trying to learn.

There you go, learned self-inflicting pain.
You'd think so... but yeah, they have their own sort of smarts. Mine are very adept at reaching or finding tasty plants.

What a lot of pro-transit (full disclosure, I am full transit) folks fail to mention, is that most streetcars were initially built, in particular, those out towards the sunset, big chunks of LA, were actually built by property developers, as an incentive, "look! see! don't need a car! just like urban living, but look at all this extra space you get! just take the street car into town". Street cars were run at break even, or even at a loss, to sell property, and once they hit X saturation rate, the street car prices were raised to make it pay for itself, or simply sold off to the city to maintain, out of property taxes. With barely break-even rates, and no maintenance budget these lines quickly fell into disrepair, and no suprise, the city and local citizens decided to buy private cars, rather than eat a tax hike to pay for the maintenance of a rail line that only went downtown.

Yes, absolutely Big Business bought up/bought out a lot of small-time public transit, but you need to look at how and why these lines were built in the first place. They did not spring up out of the goodness of the hearts of property developers. Street cars for many years existed as a perk to sell farmland to urban expats, and once they had served their propose, were rapidly dismantled due to lack of service and maintenance costs. Nothing comes without a price.
Yeah that's infuriating. Clearly the proper naming is newProcess.

It happens a lot more than you'd think. Programming continues to be big money even if you're awful at it. To give a lousy comparison, imagine a story with a really lousy wizard; they can mess up/fail most of the time, but as long as a few times a year they make some pretty lights and woo their audience, probably they'll stay in favor, since it's still magic to everyone else. The failures likely are written off as "well it just happens like that sometimes."

The big issue is that even if new programmers understand the basics of programming and how to get a functional program, the discipline of identifying when the problem you're dealing which actually has well defined business rules is another craft altogether.

Blank Page Anxiety is just as real for code I suppose as it is for other types of writing, and having a system with structured "write something that does X Y Z" is often essential for a lot of people as it's the only way they know how to produce code.

As an example, we sometimes take in fresh from University trainees for some general datacenter/IT work who come from compsci/bootcamps, and they always say they want to develop this skillset more, but never write a single line of code (we stress heavily that this would be paid work you get time set aside for; usually no takers).

I'm not a programmer by trade, but I am very lazy and have gotten pretty good at figuring out when spending a week to write some tooling is less time than the total time over a year I would spend on a common task and write tooling accordingly.

Finding problem and developing a solution is not a skill that is out there by default, but it is fairly easy to learn. I like technical problems and hearing about them because it's fun to think about, and once some basic code got into my skillset, it was an additional solution to many of these problems. Listening to people describe their challenges is a great source of projects to practice on. The satisfaction of someone telling me "wow, you have no idea how much time this saves me every week" is a pretty good inspiration to keep learning and doing more; it's "production code" and the benefit is immediately apparent.

I never go out seeking a problem to code a solution for, but instead just like talking about technical things. Inevitably, a problem comes up that I think "how hard could that be to write a program for?" and a new project is born. (Sometimes the answer turns out to be "very hard", but those are really fun projects once I'm past the frustration :) )

The reason they are failing is because they are slow ass and never modernized. Now they are primarily tourist traps. SF is a bad example of a city with street cars, there are many countries with much better implementations of street cars. You need to give street cars priority and make sure they don't get overly slowed down by city traffic. If you want people to take streetcars, overhaul the entire infrastructure. You can keep the outer decoration and layout but the insides should be replaced with the latest tech from Siemens/the Japanese.
Usually equipment that has to be robust against this attack will have things like tamper switches that wipe storage keys and brick the device if it’s opened. I’d assume they also have software tripwires too if you manage to get the access you need (for instance if you drilled holes through the enclosure to access areas you needed without opening it - although if you really wanted to stop that you can do things like potting much of the board in epoxy that is extremely difficult to remove without destroying things).
> Attorney-General and the Director of the FBI are both political appointees hired and fired by the President of the United States.

That's only a part of it. The FBI as an institution pushes for and against legislation, and when they push they can shove. They play a meaningful role in the actual drafting of the law.

This is not like an inherently evil thing, usually their political agenda, such as it is, it to strengthen laws that make it easier for them to do their work, and push back against laws which restrain their power. They work to protect the interests of their institution, which is understandable, but that necessarily enters into the policy realm.

> You’re meshing the appointed leadership with the field agents, but rank and file FBI and most of their bosses are law enforcement whose assembly line is Justice, not policy, and they’re the guys with the guns, not the creatures with the pencils.

I'm not. When I say "the FBI", I speak of the institution as a whole. Everyone from the rank and file to the bosses.
Mitigation? Lots of possibilities, this doesn’t seem strange to me (other than the company seems to be unable to control their fires, which is unusual for real companies outside of analogies)

Anyways, the metaphor is pretty strained at this point, I just meant that the idea that the FBI doesn’t work against these things because they still exist is nonsensical to me.
I switched to enamel non-stick pans and iron pans, and for me eggs work best when cooked with lard instead of vegetable oil. Lard went somewhat out of favor but i find it better for pan cooking than oil: probably due to the higher viscosity it creates a stabler lubrication film that doesn't break down as easily as that of cooking oil. Works even with stainless steel pans. Downside: different "lard" taste and the grease is harder to wash off your hands.
vmux [1] might be of interest to you.

It uses the (n)vim remote API with tmux to maintain a global (n)vim session and redirects files opened via `vmux` back to the global session and switches to the window in tmux that session is visible in.

Hints:

- use `pipx` [2] to install `vmux` to make it available globally so you don't need to mess around with virtual environments.

- just `alias nvim=vmux`, and use `command nvim` if you need the real thing.

- I set the following in my profile file:

export VMUX_EDITOR="nvim"
export VMUX_GLOBAL="true"

alias nvim=vmux

Maybe. But at a hobbyist level, is the problem really the kernel?

The problem is that OpenSCAD is easy to get started and the code-first approach is unbelievably useful - but too simplistic/limited. Meanwhile, FreeCAD is too complex, and often buggy.

There's also CADQuery, which is surprisingly good already. Don't get me wrong, the GUI (CQ-Editor) is unusably buggy. But the Jupyter notebook integration works amazingly well. If I were that project, I would work on a hot-reload, cross platform, standalone viewer only (in the same way people use OpenSCAD often). I would also pay for that, safe in the knowledge that the code produced can't be locked in so easily.

Is it a FreeCAD replacement? For better or worse, no. But it has let me avoid FreeCAD/Fusion360, while finally being free of OpenSCAD shortcomings.
I enjoyed replacing it with “worker bee” in my head, at least.

Buuuut.... If you wanted to jam starlink, then having full access to a terminal would be a really good start....

For example you could modify the terminal to transmit at the exact time another user is supposed to be transmitting, therefore clobbering their data and DoS-ing them.

The transmission schedule of exactly which user should be transmitting in which slots is probably transmitted with a single encryption key the terminal has access to.

Let’s not forget that “self-taught ai” is kind of a misnomer for multiple reasons. First of all, although it’s of the class of “self-supervised” models, it is still targeted by some person or organization for some purpose. Also, although it is called “ai” it is actually ml which means it uses some data (often user data). Even this label-less data is still data.

This misleading terminology can be used purposefully by corps (the major funders of ml research) to distract people from what they’re really up to. Not to say it’s not good research…just that’s it’s not necessarily used for the best of purposes.
