In my experience none of the DNS blockers such as Pi-Hole or Adguard block YouTube ads.

In the browser uBlock Origin handles this fine. On device you need to use a third party app to view YouTube that has adblocking functionality built in.
Sounds like the feature set of RxDB [1].

For $50 I kinda wish I could buy my own (/32) IP. I realize it’s horrible for privacy, DDOS-ing, etc. but there’s something neat about owning a specific address. Last place I worked at had extensive subnets and memorized IPs so that might be why.
Public Cameras Recognize and Track You
If you are in an agency which basically sells labour (body shop) and if the agency is doing fixed bid projects ("you build us XYZ mobile app which does ABC by MNP for XXX") you will be in a comparable situation. There is a difference however:

* Devs are harder to find and currently they are likely to flat-out refuse to work on location
* In dev, "time+materials" (bill by the hour) is much more prevalent.

One of the reasons VFX work is so miserable is that the producers will try to place a project in the cheapest locality and with a fixed bid, implying an unlimited amount of change requests as long as the deadline is not passed. One of the best medicines against the indecision and non-commitment from clients is making them pay for time spent (both waiting while they meddle and working when the umpteenth change requests comes about). This works very well - it does imply you have to fire clients who do not want to work like this.

VFX studios are in a bind because if you want to work "big ticket stuff" (Marvel etc.) they will negotiate hard on contracts, they will want insane deadlines, and they will want fixed bid. And they will want you to be in a locality which provides tax breaks.
Netflix did not corner anything. Cornering would involve owning such a large portion of a market that you can dictate your terms as a buyer or seller.

Netflix was the subject of cornering. Disney told Netflix to take a hike because Disney owns the most popular content. Netflix had to pay $500M+ for 5 years of Seinfeld to counteract the news that Comcast was removing The Office from Netflix.

Selling media is a low barrier to entry business. Selling media that has cultural cachet spanning decades is a high barrier to entry business, with the barrier being decades of time.
Best pop-in culture to my mind comes through simple old fashioned IRC
with a few utility bots.

The pop-in paradigm seems principally a matter of
synchronisation/rendezvous.

Someone is "available" because they are "holding you in mind" but
still receptive to engage or not engage without consequence. Fancy
high-bandwidth tools, including smartphones and web-video don't solve
it because they create a commitment of presence. In response/defence
people erect barriers, away messages, out-of-office notes etc, working
hours get out of sync and asynchronous exchanges fall apart.

IRC seems to find the best balance that approximates between a digital
water-cooler where you can turn up and see who is up for a chat, and a
notice board where you can leave a message "I called in, chat with me
when you have time".
Honestly I think the real reason programmers don’t unionise is that we’re not smart enough to realize we’re Labour.
Semi trucks will move 'forward' to electric when the technology becomes available.

So far it's not, the state of the art prototypes can not do the required job.

Maybe it will be something like fuel cells instead, who knows.
do you think elisp will work for this book? or would one need to implement unique common lisp features in elisp? or will elisp just be too slow
Cool, thanks! But word-final -mnt is a slightly different thing anyway.
Regarding a), I seem to remember that Yahoo Messenger had animated stickers _with audio_. I recall they had a pack with Madonna's (the artist) voice/songs. I just don't recall when exactly that was, but I think it was ~2005.

I just found this: https://www.madonna.com/news/title/madonna-audibles-now-avai...
The Adam Friedland Show
Leap seconds are problematic for astronomers whom either are doing things that don't care (e.g. 1 star calibrated against the sky, that calibration approximately incorporates whatever difference between UT1 and their local clock exists) or where they do care they have to back the leap seconds out in order to apply a more accurate model of UT1.

It's actually quite tricky to back out leap seconds accurately because the underlying time will be discontinuous for you and you can't reliably tell when leap seconds have or haven't been applied... you might even, without knowing it, be being fed leap-smeared time which could evenmake your sidereal tracking wrong and can't be backed out because different smearers do it differently. Because leapseconds they're infrequent, you also don't get many live fire tests.

I'm aware of multiple observatories that just shut down operations across leap seconds. The significant amount of work to handle leapseconds correctly and be confident you're correct isn't justified vs taking some downtime.
> why should that sound alarm bells for others who might see things differently?

This is not a reversible decision like salted or caramel popcorn. All I'm saying is that numbers like that with a human life be treated seriously. I'm not saying the usual madness of 'halt a thing until we know more'. I'm just saying wouldn't it be prudent to ask the question rather than blindly accepting this as a good thing.

I'm not saying anything disingenuous or in bad faith here so please don't assume my argument comes from this position, this just runs the risk of turning any conversation toxic and political which I'm trying to avoid.

The problem of the JS ecosystem is not speed precisely.
Microsoft Access manuals from the very first version.

There were 5 books in the box, a complete guide to RDBMS and SQL and so on. There I learned about normalization.
most of it should work in elisp, note that elisp and common lisp have different semantics for IF.

you might find some variances later on. also elisp doesn’t have as nice a debugging environment as SLIME so I’d honestly recommend just setting up common lisp
In our time is great, lately the topics have been kinda meh for me, but thats one I been sticking with. I miss the old times when I could hear the guys weird breathing in the microphone

You can't effectively "diversify" by buying other cryptos. To truly diversify, you have to buy completely different assets. Assets that aren't crypto, but in completely different sectors, such as - oh, IDK - the sugar industry, or car manufacturers, government bonds, even gold. Crypto is extremely high risk, especially if you venture outside Bitcoin. But to many it's far more accessible than even the stock market.
Is there really that many? Outside of browsers, I know of Node, Deno and now Bun. Is there really that many serious attempts to replace node?
Oh and it works in Databricks, Colab, Kaggle and Deepnote notebooks too.
As a phpbb contributor I feel like it was an awesome era

Comparing the best-grown plant protein with the worst-grown animal protein is a bit disingenuous. I can easily source you an animal carcasse that was 100% pasture-grown and pasture-fed where I know everyone involved in its supply chain, from insemination to distribution. Moreover, that same animal will have been net-positive to its ecossystem through foraging etc etc. It won't be cheap, but health-positive and planet-positive meat exists.

> Menos Trece can still appeal the false claim as well, but that means sharing all sorts of private details with the streaming platform.

Somehow I doubt the tax man would allow Twitch to pay out revenue to content creators without knowing pretty much exactly the same private details.
I'm familiar enough with the way that these things are structured, why and how policy are implemented from a bureaucratic perspective that I understand when there are un-intentional sytematic bias.

I'm not talking about access to reatment. I'm not talking about individual cases here. As I have said. I am in favour of this in concept and I just think that the reasoning away from a very large spike is concerningly poor and the sort of thing that's used as an excuse if '22 numbers shot up another 30-40% that 'well that's just Canada'.

Again, please don't read intentionally or not that I'm talking about access or applicability. This again runs the risk of taking a conversation down a political or toxic discussion path and serves nobody.

I'm talking about _proper_ large scale understanding of trends here. At best this is bad reporting of a phenomena, at worse there is something there that might be looked back on with concern.
Zellij can attach/detach sessions just like tmux.
There are some real obvious downsides to using this tool right now. Most importantly, the article lists there:

* Documentation is limited, but Bun’s Discord is very active and a great source of knowledge.

I'm not interested in becoming part of a community, I want to use the tool. Without official docs, I'll pass until the project has matured.

* Bun is not 100% compatible with Node yet. Not every npm package works. Express, for instance, is not yet functional.

I don't expect full bug-for-bug Node compatibility but if extremely popular packages such as Express don't work, I'm not sure if any of my projects will even run with this runtime.

Hopefully, this project will turn into a proper Node replacement because the Javascript ecosystem can use a big performance boost. It'll be a while before it'll become part of any pipeline I have a say in, though.
Unfortunately there's no documentation, tried looking in the source code of tiktok.py but honestly I don't have the skills to call the objects/functions just looking at it. What I need is: given a tiktok music id, how to scrap metadata of all posts using that music.
Everywhere I go, the issues to be solved are critical and the deadlines are present so I do the work that needs to be done, and (as I mention above) non-entertainment tech jobs think I'm either too expensive, or something... basically, it's a nepotistic world, and I developed my network in abusive industries, so to the non-abusive places I apply, I look like an alien. I get replies like "wow! we've love to have you, but you're clearly too expensive and would not be happy doing the non-shiny things we do." And I never even mentioned salary.
I follow bun since the start and its author has achieved a tremendous work!

However, I am a bit afraid of the rapid growth of the project.
I could appreciate a slower growth in order to think twice about the direction of the project. It could be terrible to have new tools' specifics in a world already crowded by them.
Either you don't really care, or cognitive dissonance will catch up with you sooner or later
Right. And some countries choose to have first-line treatments that prioritize lower cost over efficacy of therapy. It's great as a taxpayer, not so great at a patient.
What's wrong with btrfs?
Really great to see fans of Adam here, the work he is doing is amazing. I am hoping he would do some more tech themed topics, or maybe even a Tinder-advice / online dating related topic. I live in Israel by the way.
> I call hooey on that, the real issue is cost.

It's actually rarely about cost itself, just look at modern movie budget, they didn't exactly get cheaper than 20+ years ago. The main factor is time, predictability and control. When you do it in post with CGI, you always have full control and can change your mind at any time. If you do it practical, you are stuck with whatever you filmed. Going back and doing a reshoot takes a long while, in CGI you just jiggle some parameters and rerender. If your movie-star-lookalike stuntman breaks a leg, you have a problem. If you do it with CGI, it barely matters what you captured in camera, just change it.

With modern movies there is so much CGI to begin with, that it hardly even matters what you filmed, it's not unusual to completely redesign scenes in post, as the script wasn't even finished when they started filmed the thing.

The post is wrong about Deno's node comparability.
Deno has actually a node compat mode [1]

this is my favourite book on software engineering (as well as common lisp)
(1) I believe that stable inode numbers are possible with FUSE but they must be implemented by the FUSE driver. Mirroring over a network is not the intended use case. The mirrors exist to provide data redundancy for use by the muxfs driver. If you need to copy the data to a new location there is the muxfs sync command.

(2) muxfs uses sequence numbers to count the write operations performed on each mirror. Upon failure to mount due to the mirrors being out of sync a report is printed comparing the first mirror with the first non-matching mirror, and this includes their sequence numbers.
? Sounds like the land value is incorrect then. If no one wants it, the land value has plummeted (it being a market at all) which means the taxation should be next to nothing.

If you can't get rid of low-value land that carries no taxation, then the problem isn't the tax scheme.

In reality, this wouldn't happen. Location location location means that valuable land would be invested in, and if the taxation scheme replaced other schemes, a business would be equally likely to pay the tax to get close to customers, but also locate other facilities in low-tax remote areas, which means we're instituting a type of zoning using market mechanisms.

The only time you get abandoned properties in mass is when the value on paper is much higher than the value in reality, and that's a bigger and deeper problem than any tax scheme.
Spoken like someone who hasn't attempted this. :)

All our computer and protocol infrastructure is setup to handle and distribute UTC. Everything else you talk to is speaking UTC.

Trying to use TAI in a UTC world doesn't save you from dealing with leapseconds in the slightest: You get all the leapsecond induced problems just obtaining TAI from your UTC feeds and them you get them again at every boundary where you need to communicate with something else that is using UTC.

At least if you use UTC across the board you'll only fail around leap seconds (or false leap seconds created by issues in leapsecond distribution infrastructure). If you attempt to use TAI you'll get those failures plus many extra ways to fail.

> that handles historical UTC timestamps will always need to know about the leap seconds that have already happened

That's static data that can be hardcoded and tested, massively easier and safer than events which are being inserted (or accidentally failed to be inserted) in real time.

The big problems with leapseconds arise because of the realtime discontinuity and because the offset function changes in unpredictable ways.

In many applications there just isn't any old dates to begin with. E.g. in my code that points my telescopes (and determines where they're pointed from the encoders) I have a pile of nonsense to hopefully handle leapseconds, which may or may not actually work right when one happens as its really hard to test how other software will behave. But the same software never needs to handle times more than a day (or a few days) in the past.

If leap seconds stopped being issued bugs in software impacting billions of people would just vanish. Not every bug-- some things might also mishandle historical leap seconds, but most of the issues come from realtime bugs. If you go too far back times wouldn't have been known to 1 second in any case, so bugs with historical data would mostly be in the form of things breaking due to inconsistent time difference calculations.

Lovely book, thanks for sharing. I may use it as an example to follow in the future if I write a beginner’s book
in today's society there is twitter, "social-networking" instantly (sometimes stupidly) in chat messages and of course scripted video and film. A great conversation to avoid this effect!
> It's also obvious that the windshield has been removed for the filming.

Also elevator shots!
And it doesn't happen all the time. I have 2 MBPs (one is 7 years old, the other is brand new) and with both I have felt the "buzz"... But not every time. I cannot tell under what circumstances it happens. I have never used chargers/cables other than the Apple ones.
I don’t trust safes either. Buy gold and bury it. Other means are not solid.
As I said, it's already happening.

Green Hydrogen will be part of the answer in the next 5 years or so, but it's not a blocker right now. There's plenty of semi trucks that have tasks that are within the current battery limits.
Speed nowadays is almost an anti-goal.

People choose the "fastest" language or framework, then add a bunch of lazy ORM queries without really knowing how to properly leverage a performant database, stitch together a bunch of "microservices", adding multiple HTTP trips across the wire, and by that time the performance of the core language is a rounding error.

i've been running octoprint for a long time, but i'd love to try klipper just to experiment because i hear such glowing things about it.

the main thing that stops me adopting it is the absolute inability to get a raspberry pi right now to run mainsail on. i've got alerts set up for stock on plenty of sites, but they're basically like gold dust.
Ditto on the developer. Though the software is excellent too.
If they throw pills at it, get a 2nd opinion.

A person I knew was on prescription antacids for several years & was starting to develop stones. When the MD prescribed another pharma, I asked her to visit a different MD. The 2nd MD ID'ed her weak esophogeal sphincter, scheduled & performed an out-patient procedure to add a small suture to tighten up the leaky seal and she no longer required the very expensive pharma band-aid(s).
It's a Veblen good - right now a lot of people aren't vegetarian due to cost issues but rather as a social statement. As such, the more you spend on the meatless meat, the louder that statement is.

After all, if you're buying the cheapest meat substitute, you're not being vegan/vegetarian for moral reasons, are you? It's for cost reasons.

Saying this as a vegetarian who doesn't really like most meatless meat products anyways. For me they're basically just to fill cultural expectations in social situations.

Have you never heard of Corey Doctorow? Neil Gayman? Arthur C Clark?

You can find plenty of info about each of them online.
this is ridiculous for a first reading. its the same as telling someone to use common lisp for sicp. why? maybe on a second or third reading for fun but to digest this book just use a well supported language like common lisp for which the book was written
Makes me think of the Olympics which is after all the ultimate sporting event and the competitors are amateurs.
Not not mention that they tug the steering wheel back and forth as if they were playing real life frogger just to signal that they are "busy doing something". This doesn't make sense either.
12 months is if I get my act together AND they're available. Neither of which are likely!

I'd heard they're almost impossible to get hold of. I'm actually in no rush so I was tempted to wait for the next iteration. I'm all about V2H/X and I'm hoping / wondering if the next version will have that fully enabled or not.

Anyway, take my comment as just a strong compliment for Hyundai. I'm so happy they're around as a strong alternative to the incumbant.

Good luck getting yours. I'd get one just based on its looks, let alone any of the other goodness.
For information your initial comment is "Just use cooling towers..." (with 3 dots to show disdain) as if there isn't any cooling tower whereas everybody can see cooling towers nearly every nuclear power station (so much that when you ask people to draw a nuclear station, 95% of them draw a cooling tower).

So your "If you did any research on the subject" is quite over the top.

> I suggest next time you do some research before questioning others with offhand comments.

Apply this suggestion to your first comment or at least don't be more exigent with the quality of other comment that you are with your own comments.

I think the idea is better expressed as "physical context switching".

Play games on this device; do work on that device. That other one one is for internet searches. A fourth device is used for watching TV-like streams. A fifth for communication.

Set up each device so it only does what it's intended to, so that the friction of getting it to do something else is greater than the friction of finding and using the other device that does that. Label them, so you will experience dissonance using a device for a *wrong" purpose.

Computers can do anything, but over time I'm getting to feel that humans do better using each machine as a single-purpose device: an appliance.

Of course this assumes that the required care and feeding of each device is minimal, so Microsoft Windows can't be used on any of them, nor can certain Linux distros.
They're literally saying weather doesn't matter. I mean, you can hardly be more clear than "Infrastructure is more or less the sole deciding factor."

I'm sorry for appearing confrontational, but the original comment was pretty much "we should ignore EVs and just skip to trains+bikes because they're better". I'm not disputing that bikes are ok, and as it happens I own several and love riding scooters. But taking "bikes are ok" and using it as a stick with which to hit EVs has just one result: later adoption of EVs, more people dying early because pollution, more carbon in the air.

I didn't say that we need to chose just one solution. OP did, quite clearly. And then followed up with arguments which are rather weak, to which I'm responding a bit less politely than I otherwise would.
Dollar cash is as valuable in Russia as it was before. I don’t know why countries use electronic dollar. Just use cash. Nobody can arrest it. I don’t know the precedents at least. If Germany would refuse to accept those, Chinese will accept it.
The book is good if you realize what it is -- it's a book by somebody relatively new to LISP who is excited by it and wants to share his enthusiasm with others. People who are more experienced LISP programmers may dislike it because the author has a rather idiosyncratic coding style that doesn't conform to accepted best practices in the LISP community.
It not depending on Python seems useful for non-Python ecosystems.
This doesn’t make sense to me. Why wouldn’t just the 1x programmers unionize? I’m sure they would be in the majority as 10x programmers are rare.

I also do not really believe in this concept in general. Programming skills are not one dimensional, people have different strengths and weaknesses.
> Why is this all happening? Bad economic and financial policies for 40 years, rampant corruption. The economy was unproductive, but they kept the local currency subsidized, as it turns out by just spending the money that people deposited in the banks. And it's all gone now.
