And I wish we had a stronger word than unportable for echo. You see that word tossed around on shell scripting resources where the only system it applies to is a 30 year old version of ksh and it only blows up on a full moon when passed a filename with a literal form feed \f, but echo is a practical portability problem.
For oscilloscope/logic analyzer work I've encountered Sigrok as the goto tool to use (yet I have not used it myself yet, lacking the hardware at the moment). They have suites of different parsers for nearly every network protocol, which can also be applied on top of each other.

I second the recommendation. Don't be put off by Jeremy Clarkson and his persona, seeing a motorhead with a big ego trying to run a farm and make a profit is what makes the show. Thankfully, he's paired with someone that knows their stuff, with a sharp enough wit...

Yes. Many grazing animals are like this. It's like they have no "feeling full" in their tiny brains. Grass and leafs are not very calorie dense so they kind of have to.

Cows or horses can easily eat themselves sick if they are let into high grown grass fields. Where I live the horse owners will sometimes cut the grass in the fields before they let the horses go to it in the spring.
There are probably a lot of people who dislike the amount of bloat in windows, but aren't prepared to put in the work to convert to linux. It's perfectly reasonable to be somewhere in the middle.
I guess I'm lucky that the algorithm associates me with a very different crowd that I want to avoid at all costs.

Just make sure to use the phrase “or plurality of” a lot.
I'm not sure it's fair to blame user apathy/laziness. More likely, user burnout.

I don't think I've ever had a single thing resolved by 'opening a case.' To me, I hear 'go fight with our offshore cs team until you give up.'

This case seems starkly different, as the author just wants accountability and tracking, which is great. But I imagine most users are weary.
0 Chance of competing at a world level if you start climbing/bouldering in your 30s (unless you're already an athlete of some kind). The training and competition in climbing is insane now compared to when I started in the early 90s.

I guess the more niche the sport, the better and it would be better if you already have a background in something similar. E.g. good surfers turn to hyrdofoiling, kite surfing, SUP, kayaking etc.

Anybody know if consuming MSG is related to glutamate levels in the brain? I know MSG is a subject of long and mostly pointless debate but curious what the actual science is here.
I didn't say you shouldn't read simple sentences or do other activities. Variety is useful.

I said early on the most efficient use of your time is memorization of words and maybe grammar. Duolingo does that well, in my opinion. It doesn't do the usual flashcard stuff, but it does favor repetition and you can practice speaking and listening from the first time.
I'd question the likelyhood of a person being able to compete at a world level if they start in their 30s. However, they might experience almost lifelong improvement rather than peaking in their 30s and be able to climb a wide range of grades but I don't expect to see them competing in Innsbruck.

Brecht contributed this feature to Tweak New Twitter [1] if you want to turn your timeline off and have to intentionally turn it on again, so you can't casually browse it - it's in the Experiments section at the bottom of the extension's options.

(At the time of writing I'm still waiting for addons.mozilla.org to approve a new version which fixes issues caused by a markup change Twitter made yesterday, so in the Firefox version you can't currently see the separate timeline Tweak New Twitter moves Retweets into by default)

Every time we get a notification, we check our phone. It's almost Pavlovian. But it's not the notification causing the reaction. It's the anticipation of what the notification might be that makes us reach for our phones.

We've trained ourselves to be alert, to look at our phones, to see what might be there, and I think it's time we had a talk about it.
Why is Windows Camera considered bloatware and meant to be removed? Is there a better free app to replace it with?

Definitely a confused example. Unclear if it should be attributed to the article author or the quoted scientist. The fact that computers are still bad at something brains are good at has nothing to do with fatigue.
Halo was an xbox exclusive for ages. I mean, not even available on Windows. They eventually released it for other platforms but it was years after and it felt dated and boring already.
So it's doable if you know the solution and have seen it before, but otherwise it's pretty damn difficult

Not equating, but requiring. Can you really know something you didn't memorize? I don't think so.
He's missing an important step. The author(s) institution(s) PR department usually put out a press release, and that gets low res copied by everyone. Journals do it too, but in my experience it is the academic/corporate institution who does it.

> picked up in 30s and compete at world level

I don't think there's a single person who has competed in the bouldering world cup or olympics over 30, let alone who _started_ over 30.

Every boulderer at a world level started in their teens at least.

I welcome you to provide me a single counter example of someone who has qualified (not even won, just qualified) for a bouldering world cup who started climbing at 30.
This is an extremely poorly researched article. If somebody were to spend a dozen billion dollars to gain 51% control of Eth PoS, the users could coordinate to ignore their chain, or even burn their stake and destroy their purchased funds.

This article filled me with hope, but I already see a danger:

A threadmill of products to "bring the world together" under different names and mottos but all sooner or later devolving into advertisement machines. Maybe next: WhatsApp, then Signal then Mastodon? For this to happen, founders just need to sell out, for example to Meta. WhatsApp already sold out but did not yet pivot.
Instead of the path of turning a machine into a sentient being, this approach is to turn a sentient being into a machine.

I think what you are describing is class based rather than caste based. Caste is explicitly based on heredity and is unchangeable. The fact that the two classes are made up mostly of different ethnicities is probably caused by a confounding variable, such as different educational opportunities, as well as discrimination of course.
Signal very obviously has a finite lifespan, but in the moment it's best in class for privacy.
I’m glad I’m not the only one seeing these problems. App flushes have felt more aggressive and arbitrary, and apps are hit and miss for remembering state. Podcasts seems to be one of the worst for me, relaunching into the useless “listen now” state, or just hanging for 10 seconds before crashing. Apple really needs to spend a year just squashing bugs.
I must have missed the main point of this article. All the things that DDG does that are presented as negative seem neutral to me. Perhaps I missed a key fact.
The free software definition [fsd] and the open source definition [osd] are different in wording and spirit, but Free Software and Open Source designate largely the same set of licenses, save for a few odd ones like the Sybase Open Watcom Public License which is considered as a non-free software license by the GNU project [1] / FSF [2] and most Linux distributions (including Debian, which uses the DFSG [3], which is essentially the same text as the Open Source Definition) but as an Open Source license by the Open Source Initiative [4].

Free software does not mean free as in beer. The confusion caused by the word "free" in English is unfortunate but the world is not perfect.

Going to some sites you get "bounced" to an AMP page instead. The term debounce seems like a fine choice for the concept of undoing that.

reminds me of Znai [1]

What sold me on Znai was the integration of code snippets (straight from source files, mining them out of the code) and integration of diagramming from PlantUML, which is done in a way that is compatible with the format used in Gitlab, VSCode and other markdown renderers.

Markdown has turned into a truly amazing ecosystem.

Use sourcehut. People send questions through emails only so there's no account to create. It's all centralized into a public mailing list and searchable just like a forum. it is self-hostable and entirely free software.

It may take some time to migrate a project with a history like Privacy Browser, but it's certainly beneficial in the long run.
> Everyone was on Facebook, so if you were hosting a social event, you could just invite everyone on Facebook and they’d hear about it.

My wife and I have never used Facebook. We would miss invites to things all the time since everyone assumes that everyone was on there and forgot that we were not. We used it as a litmus test to figure out who our true friends were. Fortunately now all of our friends have abandoned social media in favor of group texts.

Mountain biking, depending on where you live.
At this point I am really wondering when massive shift to bikes/cargo bikes will happen?

Like... it needs NO fuel or can be charged at home for electric ones, companies literally can't offer other subscription services aside from "free repair" for x$ a month, because bicycle is too simple... Maybe battery leasing, idk...?

It doesn't need driver license to operate, if infrastructure is good, it can be much faster in the city and you don't need to pay a ton of taxes, in many situations you can repair it by yourself
With electric cargo bikes/bakfiets a big chunk of car use-cases is gone, like buying groceries, moving light-medium objects, even take childs to school.
For other 5% of use-cases, people can like... rent a car for a day or take taxi...
I can't imagine how cheap this could be

And for people that can't use them, there are tricycles, carts or duofiets
Aaaaaand you can add a small bicycle trailer at the back, increasing further total capacity.

Of course all this is possible with protected bike lanes AND at least decent public transport like buses AND bike parking. Car drivers will drive without encountering bicyclists and vice-versa, everyone happy, everyone safe, much less stress
It really is - because not only is it hilarious, it also highlights just how difficult modern farming has become - razor thin margins, at the whims of the weather, dealing with vandlism from local youths with nothing better to do etc. etc.

We've essentially transitioned from 'social networks' to 'content streams'. The evolutionary steps we went through were just pathfinding to get to where consumers always wanted to be: a nonstop amusement drip.

For that reason I think that what we think of as social networks really are dead. It's not what people truly wanted in the first place.
I think the two are not exclusive and IMHO a big part could be these small-nuclear-reactors coming up.

I think renewables are very important, but just this week was a comment about Netherlands (I think) where the comparison was 200sqm against 4400 wind turbines and somewhat 20sqkm if you compare nuclear vs. wind/solar.

If you take a look at Switzerland, I have no clue where to put 4k wind turbines. Hell, even 1000 won't have enough space (or you will waste so much forests or agrar or you'll put them into alps and waste the scenery, which will break tourism).
In the same vein regarding tackling invasive plants.

In Germany, I came to realize that many cities have unpaid "employees" to tame the city gardens, namely wild ducks, gooses and rabbits.

Thankfully people leave them be, back home they would have been snaped in less than a week.

However as they are used to humans, it also means they make themselves invited guests to any picknick if one doesn't pay attention to the "teams" taking care of the grass.
One thing not to forget about JS is that it has made everything reverse engineerable. WebAssembly will kill this. It's quite amazing to be able to set breakpoints on any website on the internet. To see how any website does something. And it hasn't really caused any problems. I think we take it for granted too much.

What part of JS do you want to die the most? Syntax, runtime, type coercion quirks? And what is your ideal syntax so far? How could JS be changed to your liking?

tl;dr - they use GeoIP to get geographic location to inform your search results and store search histories that are not associated with your IP address.

I think the article is a bit of an over-reaction. Compared to something like Google, DDG is a good alternative if you don't like the tracking and personalised results. (I've been using DDG as primary for years though so I may be biased)

I personally am happy for them to geo-locate me to a city of ~10 million if it means I get the "right" London and not the tiny one of 400K residents in Canada that is thousands of miles away from me when searching for something in London.
And you clearly need to use sarcasm in a way that is not invisible to everyone but people familiar with the subject matter.

According to the OP, CS:GO is too hard for their new employees to get into, so Eve, which is famous for its brutal learning curve [1], would be a terrible choice for them. After playing it for four years and having created dozens and dozens of notes, I still felt like I understood only 70% of its mechanics.

TL;DR: Data-driven design is a proven success factor that more and more digital businesses embrace. At the same time, academics and practitioners alike warn that when virtually everything must be tested and proven with numbers, that can stifle creativity and innovation. This article argues that Taleb’s Black Swan theory can solve this dilemma. It shows that online experimentation, and therefore digital design, are fat-tailed phenomena and, hence, prone to Black Swans. It introduces the notion of Black Swan designs — “crazy” designs that make sense only in hindsight — along with four specific criteria. To ensure incremental improvements and their potential for innovation, businesses should apply Taleb’s barbell strategy: Invest 85‒90% of resources into data-driven approaches and 10‒15% into potential Black Swans.
I think the strongest claim they could be making is that DDG (1) collects and stores search results, and because the results are tied to your IP someone could in theory associate different search results records, to identify you. E.g. they could know that someone who lives in town X and has searched for "Warhammer 40K" a lot, also searched for "does Company Y do drug tests" or something.

It's not clear to me that DDG even does (1) though from the article - all the claims I can see are slightly weaker.
Since when does Perl 5 use CLOS?

Regarding R and Raku I cannot say anything, but the CPAN package for OOP extensions I used back in 2000's wasn't it.
Right? I just set up a new Macbook, and I was back to my usual setup within a day. There wasn't anything to disable. I just had to remove a few icons from the dock.

It's not everyone's cup of tea, but neither is Linux. I don't have the patience to find and maintain a Linux laptop, personally.
So everyone gets a global identifier attached to social (media) credits? I'm quite sure that's someone's pipe dream: Putin, Xi, ...
The TL;DR as I would put it: DDG stores your IP address for A/B testing. This results in personal/private information (your IP) being logged and stored by DDG.

However, I am not so sure about the article's conclusion. I do agree that the phrasing is a bit hazy, which might or might not be intentional. At the same time, the conclusion ("Don't use DDG") seems very broad. I don't see a good point, that the IPs used in for A/B testing could actually be used for tracing back actual IP addresses. I am also missing any point about how the proposed solution (use "arkenfox") solves that problem.

I looked that up and they were replaced by 2012. So it'd still be strange to have then on Windows 10. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zune_software

I figure the script started as a Windows 8 debloater, and when updating it they went "well, surely nobody would want those installed" without worrying if they ever were installed.
Because parsing text is so great.
> There's just no way around this. We all trust code we haven't read and have to continue doing it.

If compared to other industries: We all drive a car we never fully inspected ourselves, fly a plane we have't looket at ourselves and eat food we didn't see where it grew. How can we adapt the supply chain in software engineering that we can have the same level of trust (or trusted parties)?

As far as I know, we understand "wiring" of neurons, but we are probably missing "firmware" of neurons and that's the reason why real Flatworm is behaving differently from simulated Flatworm. It is not executing same program.

We can also ask if neurons can actually be simulated with current silicon based computer technology or if different type of computer is needed - Computer supporting operations from quantum physics? Chemical based computer where decisions and calculations are done by folding proteins?
Aside from the development environment, I find the language itself also very elegant. While the evaluation rule for binary messages can be very counterintuitive (always left-to-right, so 1 + 2 * 3 = 9), the rule is simple and easy to learn. Keyword messages are something else that I think is just very nice, and the evaluation order of messages (1. unary messages, 2. binary messages, 3. keyword messages) often lets you create large composite expressions without the need for (m)any parentheses.

The Gemini community is prickly about privacy, to the point where it's considered bad (perhaps even a gross violation of the GDPR per the Gemini community) to even log IPs of requests. So this type of article seems par for course.
I don't think it's helpful to title an article like this when the content is essentially just saying that DDG is not perfect. I fear a lot of people will just read the title and go back to using - that other search engine - which is probably not what the author intended?
Unfortunately this is a pretty common tech support query. A lot of these "bloat" scripts are designed by people knowing exactly what they are doing, and meant for such people. Some of them do things like Disable Defender and even Windows Updates. Which is fine if you know why you want those things, but people trying to get dad's computer some extra performance have dug a lot of holes for themselves with debloat scripts.

In particular the Windows Store is not always possible to reinstall once removed.
