Can you take the role of air traffic controller in MSFS multiplayer? If so, that's very cool.
9 days late, wanted to point out that mac and linux have vim and emacs :p
Speaking only of the Facebook site/app below. FB Messenger is not included.

For a long while, Facebook hasn’t been a platform to connect people or to connect people meaningfully. It’s either useless and random stuff while your close ones’ posts don’t appear on your timeline and vice versa, or sensational posts that cause anger, anxiety, worry, and despair.

The “algorithm” tuned itself quite well to induce and increase addiction. It’s focused. It’s intelligent. It’s purposeful. None of those aspects may help you become happier or more satisfied or more connected.

I don’t think the “algorithm” can be corrected or made better either. It’s too big, too influential, too profitable and likely too complex (due to ML). Short of getting rid of it completely and going back to a chronological feed only from people and pages you follow, nothing can be humanly done about this decline.

Find another platform and focus on smaller groups if you need or value connectedness or relevant/useful content.
It seems to me that encrypting emails is either untenable or insufficient depending on how you do it. You could do a one-way operation like is used on passwords, but then you can't access the user's email address to send them emails. You could instead do a two-way encryption but that likely means using a hardcoded key to decrypt, and that key can't be considered secure if attackers have access to the system. There may be other more effective options but I'm no security expert and I haven't given much thought to other solutions.
If true, then this will probably reignite discussions around Plex requiring that you authenticate with their servers when using the service to view content that you're hosting on your own hardware.

If anyone is curious, then alternatives like Jellyfin exist. It's a bit different and may not have all the features you need, but it works quite well in my experience.
I confess I didn't. My remark is addressed particularly to cyclists of dense cities where we have more people on sidewalks than inside cars (but still a lot of cars.) Unfortunately there are plenty of bicycles on sidewalks.
I'm a long time Plex user, and I have not received this email. Not sure if I should be worried or if the breach has just affected a subset of users.
I use random unique passwords for everything anyway, as long as no credit card
details were taken it shouldn't be a big deal hopefully.
I was able to log into the site now and no message was displayed at all.

Edit: Not sure why I would be getting down-voted for this.
Security breaches are a big deal, but if the only result of this for the users is that we need to change our passwords that's a fairly good outcome, no? :-) The biggest hurdle ahead for Plex is to figure out exactly what these attackers did, if they were directly targeted and for how long they were in their network. A lot of the times a incident is discovered it's discovered a long time after the first breach (based on my own personal experience)
Shaders are also far more I/O dependent, with direct feedback visually of the result, there is little abstraction like in programming where the visual feedback isn’t (always) direct.
Engineer != programmer
Facebook feed algorithm currently broken
Facebook apparently has a permissions glitch that's allowing anyone to reply to certain celebrity accounts

Doing so grants the post access to the celebrity's audience, which is causing feeds to be flooded with posts from random users
Let's be clear: Kiwi Farms is a ball of hate just like the Daily Stormer is. But the reason CF hasn't dropped them is none of the site operators will make the claim Cloudflare are open supporters of Kiwi Farms, while DS's editor decided to be cocky and make these claims. Kiwi Farms operators can always distance itself from members calling for violence and ban the accounts when it gets out of hand, just as Reddit has done in the past.

Cloudflare CEO's own words: https://blog.cloudflare.com/why-we-terminated-daily-stormer/

In short: Just claim Cloudflare are big Kiwi Farms supporters as many places you go. Eventually Matthew's ego will get bruised enough and the site will get taken down in another arbitrary manner.
I agree, GDScript is pretty darn good, all the visual editing facilities (besides the scripting) are great, so the loss of visual scripting is not a major one. Let us see what the community comes up with!
Those are pretty poor examples of anything. nymag doesn't even get basic facts correctly. If posting bias uninformed hit pieces is all it took to win debates then the world would be a pretty sad place.
> this reads to me as "if you don't use these digital systems you have to do things like they were before digital systems"

You missed the part where they might actually prefer to use digital systems but would only be able to so by delegating their identity to a trusted and locked down iOS or Android+SafetyNet device. Other comments seem to indicate that this is not a strict requirement for filing your taxes digitally where GP is at, but that's beside the point of your comment.
The workaround is from microG. You can get it on lineage-microg too.

It has a bad name but really all that they do is replace Google's signing certificate with their own and change the OS to accept it. It's not that "hacky" IMO, you're just trusting a different party. It's just like when you install Ubuntu, you trust Canonical to sign your packages, not debian. They use the same thing to replace play services. And if you trusted Google you wouldn't be using microG anyways, you'd just use play services.

The reason it gets a bad rap is because of the risk MicroG's signing key gets stolen. This is obviously higher than the risk of this happening for Google which is definitely in some highly protected HSM vault somewhere. True. Personally if I were a MicroG developer I'd keep it on a smartcard somewhere like a yubikey so it couldn't be easily copied. I don't know if they do this.

On the other hand, there is more you need to do to exploit it, even if you have the signing key. You need to get the user to use some malicious software and get it on F-Droid or something undetected. Just having the private key will not net you anything.

In my point of view you're trading a definitely possible but difficult possibility of a hack, for a total certainty that Google will track you every hour of every day. Personally I don't trust my smartphone with that much information anyway, but Google manages to collect so much because of their extended network. So they're able to extract much more info from my smartphone than I put into it by association. So it's an ok tradeoff for me. Everyone needs to make their own judgement on that.

For that reason I don't use banking apps on my mobile anyway and I don't have a need for SafetyNet as a result.But it's nice to know that there is a possibility to use SafetyNet protected apps in some cases if I want (some detect the workaround I believe).
Just wait until they build an AI watermark identifier and remover (which is a problem subset) and then use its output to train/update their model.

They probably already have specialized filtering models built to filter out censorable terms. They may be imperfect, but they are there. A watermark remover might be an easy addition.

When Stable Diffusion released their model playground, I used the prompt Peter at the pearly gates dressed as a security guard and got three images two of which were censored and one that was an ordinary image. So, the capability is there already. Just a matter of time before they get good at watermark removal.
And first you have to carve cryptic runes into crystal slates with deadly invisible light and then imbue them with lightning to stir the gods from slumber.
But probably not for this particular thing. I am curious, what in particular raises your hackles? He was never even indicted - no one who is purportedly that corrupt with that many scandals is fool proof. I know Illinois is probably the mist corrupt state uh the nation, but with him, lots of smoke, no fire.
The idea that some developers think their code is so smart/complicated it cannot possibly expressed in a statically analyzable manner is pure hubris to me, JS/Python and friends sure have encouraged some bad patterns over the years.

Sure it has a learning curve but I see highly flexible strictly typed as the medium-term future of pretty much all development as they provide invaluable safety nets for development, risk mitigation and productivity.

Large code bases without strong rigor,testing and/or static type analysis (eg. mypy/ts/flow) have no future and will not scale.
IntellIJ IDEA Ctrl-click, Ctrl-Shift-F, Ctrl-U, etc, Sourcegraph when I don't know which repo or do a company-wide code search or examples.
Having a lot of tabs open for a single flow of data makes my brain forget about the start of the flow, so I put named bookmarks as I go when doing this. When debugging, the same kind of flow debugging, I use conditionnal non-suspend logging breakpoints that print out relevant stuff from variables in scope.
One of the most important parts in this is closing all tabs from time to time, and putting 2 open files side-by-side, 1440p monitor helps, or splitting part of the IDE instance into a separate window on another monitor.
Got this about an hour ago as well.
Tesla does an extremely dumb and basic depth estimation from two cameras. It still lacks many senses that are critical to movement, and has software that about matches the abilities of a small bird
Why would that be? Isn't it the energy spent tearing your body apart that is relevant?
I bought two self-help books this month, one is "Atomic Habits" mentioned in the article, and another is "I Took the Only Path To See You".

There is one insightful short story about "The Tale of The Two Wolves" right after the Table of Contents of the latter book:

"One evening, an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. He said, "My Son, the battle is between two 'wolves' inside us all."

"One is Evil. It's anger, envy, jealousy, doubt, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.”

“The other is Good. It's joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, forgiveness, truth, compassion, and faith."

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: “Which wolf wins?"

The old Cherokee simply replied, “The one you feed.”
Here we go again. I refer back to this article from 2007 (which I just read again) and I am not sure that there is a compelling case for hydrogen....still. The subsidy forces the price equation but the energy cost of creating hydrogen does not change it's inherrent quality:

"The trouble is that making hydrogen requires more energy than the hydrogen so produced can provide. Hydrogen, therefore, is not a source of energy. It simply is a carrier of energy. And it is, as we shall see, an extremely poor one."

> I just got so sick of the constant pain of certificates.

I've honestly never had any sort of "constant pain" by using nginx and acme.sh. Certbot is an actual abomination.

I have a script just as a shortcut for these two commands:

acme.sh --issue --dns dns_cf -d "$1" -d "*.$1"
acme.sh --installcert -d "$1" -d "*.$1" --certpath /foo/$1/cert --keypath /foo/$1/key --fullchainpath /foo/$1/fullchain --reloadcmd "/usr/local/bin/docker-compose -f /foo/docker-compose.yml exec -T nginx nginx -s reload"

You just have to run those commands once per domain and it'll keep that wildcard certificate valid forever, acme.sh sets up a cronjob to renew the cert when needed and will automatically reload my nginx container after.
Might have something to how the author chose to express his opinions. FWIW, I got the same impression from the article, but did not bother to write a comment until now.

IMO, the author could have done better by providing more concrete examples for the points of criticism, and understating the conclusion or moving it to the end or dropping it entirely, as I think it's better to give the reader the choice to make up his own mind, given the facts and evidence.
I received this email 1.5 hours ago.

Appreciative of all the work regarding caddy, but the rate limiting seems to be chicken and egg, as few people seem to be willing to test it out in order for it to be accepted into core, and people are unwilling to test it out, because it's not in core.

It's also a blocker for me, so nginx wins by force of inertia.

Do you have anything to back that up? KF isn't even a political site.

Which would be an outright lie and easily disproven.
Going to change children’s books forever – Peekabook

Great!, can we have inverse generation as well?

I've been on the lookout of something like this for a while time. Does anybody know of any other similar efforts? A long-form regex standard would be ideal.
I wonder if there's something about changing uses cases. If you design for x and y use cases then you end up with a nice, simple design for x and y. People then start doing a lot of z so you adapt to support z, but it adds some complexity because it's not exactly what you had in mind when you laid the foundations.

A competitor comes along who's designed for y + z, and everyone loves how nice and simple it is. Then use case u comes along...
I wonder if the "cross a red light anytime I want to on a bike" is the reason so many are now doing the same in their cars.

it could be

(1) got used to it on a bike so repeating in car

(2) saw cyclists get away with it so decided might as well do the same

(3) unrelated reason

note: I'm seeing egregious traffic violations by cars every time I drive now which was not true say 10yrs ago. Don't know what changed

as a cyclist I'd love to see Netherlands level of bicycle support in more cities
I saw appendicitis was on the list. I think appendicitis can (unusually) be provoked by blunt trauma (I think mine was!), so maybe there have been a tiny number of appendicitis cases attributable to extremely unlucky victims of bike accidents?
It's also a frontend framework that builds custom client-side JavaScript, which is where the "compiler" part comes in. This makes it way more efficient on the browser than the generic VDOM-diffing approach found in React, etc. Almost as quick as a static site, while preserving full interactivity.
> I'm sure internal company LAN's will remain IPv4 behind a proxy for decades more

IPv4 will continue to exist in limited capacity as long as network hardware supports it. With increasingly more network hardware suppliers phasing out IPv4 support for cost reasons, we will see it dying quickly.
Um, have you read the prompt? It looking weird is simply the result of "the audience members are cucumbers". The more crazy your prompt is, the worse the results will generally get.

On top of that DALL-E2 has generally issues with anything dealing with multiple objects. A single person will render fine, groups of people will generally give artifacts. Attributes will also be spread across all objects in the scenes, not just the ones you specified in your prompt, so doing anything more complex will require manual uncropping und inpainting, not just a single prompt.

Anyway, if you avoid the obvious weak spots and holes in the training set, DALL-E2 output is for most part pretty amazing out of the box. It's really more a top 50% than a top 1%.

The biggest bias when it comes to published DALL-E2 images are the prompts. Most prompts you see online are not the actual prompts, but funny descriptions made by a human after the fact. The actual prompt are often much longer and sometimes completely different.
There’s a third-party sim for air traffic control called VATSIM that lets people play as air traffic controllers for various regions with data relays from a few flight sims so they can see participating traffic and chat to them: https://www.vatsim.net/

Varnish is also locking DNS-based lookups behind an enterprise flag.
Yeah, that's what I'm trying to figure out how to do. The website I linked before doesn't seem to have any links to download it, so how do I actually do that? What's the link for downloading it?
Which is why you can have aliases for those types, each level of abstraction can be nicely wrapped up. It just describes the reality.
These examples universally predate cars and certainly "car factory owning lobbyists". It's more an example of how people will complain about any change.
Also cars are expensive as hell.

It's sad that people not rarely have to purchase one in order to have jobs,

but this shit is so expensive that keeps stealing significant % of their budget, especially that they gotta buy cheaper, used ones which break more often.
A typical locomotive at 1 mph has more momentum than a Ford F-150 at 45 mph, but the latter is far more likely to kill you in collision so it doesn’t look like it is momentum that kills.
What do you mean we don't have SUVs in Eastern Europe? Where would you have to live to think that?
Your rant has absolutely nothing to do with the topic, as bicycles became popular (and caused the discussed spate of articles blaming/crediting it for a variety of things) in the 1890s, before "car factory owning lobbyists" could cause the evils you attribute to them.
No.

But you can use MSFS as a client to join VATSIM as a pilot, where someone else is the air traffic controller (using another client app).

Being a controller needs training, even when doing it online.
It could be right, 30 secs was my own timings. 2 updates were taking about a minute. Although on a different brand 5.7" 7 color eink display (Waveshare) but they look the same except how they are connected

I think it might be because I think two screens are using different algorithms to change images. Mine can only do a full clear, the author mentions that you need to do full clears from time to time to avoid ghosting or permanent burning. So maybe 15 secs is only for non-full clear image change

Tbf not much difference between 15 or 30 secs when it comes to usability
I have ridden tens of thousands of miles by bicycle. Perhaps five of those miles in aggregate were on sidewalks.

It would be funny if someone with an angle grinder came to the public bench and cut off the "arm rests" that you can't even rest your arm on because their only purpose is to prevent homeless from sleeping on a bench that literally noone uses at night anyway.
He is the modern day pied piper telling his devoted fans to buy his Fools Self Driving (FSD) contraption and gives lots of false promises so that he can keep the scam running and for his customers to keep believing his lies that it will be Level 5 'real soon'™ by these so-called 'updates'.

So far with this Fools Self Driving deception:

Claim 1: 'Full Level 5 Autonomy by end of 2019' (2019) [0]
Reality: As of this year 2022, it is still Level 2.

Claim 2: '1 Million robo-taxis on the road by the end of 2020' (2019) [1]
Reality: As of this year 2022, ZERO Tesla robo-taxis on the road.

Claim 3: 'Tesla's FSD tech will have Level 5 autonomy by the end of 2021' (2021) [2]
Reality: As of this year 2022, it is admittedly Level 2.

Claim 4: "I would be shocked if Tesla does not achieve FSD that is safer than human drivers this year" (2022) [3]
Reality: Clearly it still isn't any safer 8 months ago. [4]

So even if we have given them more time since those claims in 2019, nothing has changed.

Not only it was admitted to be Level 2, [5] and still requires the full attention of the driver having their eyes on the road, they have ever continuously raised the prices on a system that clearly doesn't work as advertised in order to get customers to FOMO into purchasing it.

A complete scam of a contraption that can only be perfectly described as a 'Fools Self Driving' system.

I’ve not actually tried MSFS with VR but playing other flight sims with it is incredible. A never go back to flat screens experience. In particular it maps well to having physical controllers and being seated all the time.
"A decline in grain consumption" - how could this possibly make sense?

> I call bullshit on this entire blog post.

How? None of what you are talking about directly relates to the article. It feels like you are just reacting to the title and not the contents.

For instance, you say:

> I call bullshit on this entire blog post. Ignore it. Typescript is the correct solution. What is the alternative? Just using JS and letting things break without knowing it? Come on.

But the article says:

> I love typescript and think the team working on it are incredible. Typescript has completely changed the FE landscape and wouldn't want to dismiss its contributions.

> But as a library developer, we need:

> - better documentation,

> - better tooling, and

> - to spend less time making tsc happy.

This is not an article advocating for “just using JS and letting things break”, so why are you reacting as if it is?
> * No Suspend/Resume? Linux has solved this for years, I have not come across a laptop in the last 10 years that had trouble with s2r or s2d (but I guess that there might be a few that don't fully support it, I mainly tested Dell laptops)
I have an older Thinkpad that I swtiched back to Windows after getting fed up with suspend and hibernate on linux. It had like a 20% chance to suspend or hibernate, other times it did nothing. Screen went black and after 2-3s I was back at the login screen. Shutdown was reliable so when in a hurry I needed to do a full shutdown.
