Is it? Given that the original code still exists on mainnet and cannot be taken down. I suppose the main use case of a high TVL fork would be for Americans who wanted to legally regain their privacy without risking a sanctioned contract interaction. Anyone who doesn't care can still use the original.
assuming you use chrome, electron will reuse the chromium libraries, so the net increase on memory is not that large. with Tauri, it will have to spin a new set of (memory hungry) browser libraries(i.e. libwebkit2gtk on linux, similar stuff on Mac and Windows) that are all new memory usage on top of chrome(nothing to share), not to mention the libraries Tauri uses are not as "modern" as Chromium on html5/css/js/webapi support.

I still feel Electron is the best approach now.
> I encourage you to reread the comment I replied to again and see if it has the tone of someone “trying to learn” or rather something different.

To me it sounds ok. I'm not an english native speaker though, so there is a handicap on my side on tone, vocabulary and phrasing.

My intent was to admit I had wrong assumptions. At some point before this whole thread, I _really_ believed all graphemes (which, in my mind, were "character combinations") could be stored in just 4 bytes. I was aware of combining characters, I just assumed all of them could fit in 32bit. You folks taught me that it can't.

However, there's another subject we're dealing with here as well. Storing these characters at a lower level, whether they form graphemes or not at a higher level of abstraction.

The fact that I was wrong about graphemes, directly impacts the _example_ that I gave about the length of a string, but not the _fundamental principle_ of UTF-32 I was trying to convey (that you don't need to count lead bytes at the character level). Can we agree on that? If we can't, I need a more in-depth explanation on _why_ regarding this as well, and if given, that would mean I am wrong once again, and if that happens, I am fine, but it hasn't yet.
Fyi you need to optimize for two browsers only: chromium (edge) is the webview on windows, and webkit is the webview on linux and macos.

Anyway, I’m curious about the svg and flexbox issues you mentioned. I have not experienced any differences with those across systems and browsers.
Nice. Supports emoji's? Looks like the UTF-8 is not yet supported directly.
ok but how do we feel about four loko?
I live in SV and have friends in NYC. The sense we get is that NYers, and especially those in NY media, take some joy in negative news about SV. It could be because Wall Street (and NY law/consulting/ad firms) used to be the most-coveted jobs for high-performing young people, and then SV rose up as an uber-desirable career destination.
Of course. It's a riskier implementation from a smart contract security standpoint, but entirely possible.
Not just that, he publicly made claims like "the US thinks they can control us and make our decisions for us, but they can't". Just a couple days after that, he started having problems with parliamentary support, that eventually led to him being ousted.
Have you checked out https://listenbrainz.org ? It features a lot of similar functionality.

You can pin your recording jam, recommend tracks to users, view statistics in your listens, create and listen to playlists. We are actively working on adding various type of recommendations for users and also intend to add more music discovery features in future.

I mean, why reach for the cordless screwdriver when all you need is a couple turns of a Phillips head? It’s cool that it’s easy to spin up databases but that’s a lot of complexity that may not be necessary in all cases.

> The conservative perspective is not, and has never been, that poor people deserve to stay poor.

It's a good thing I didn't say it was then, isn't it? I'll help you, if you really want to try to strawman what I said, it would be closer to: "the conservative perspective is that bad people deserve to be poor."

But I do think "poor people stay poor" is the net effect of conservative policies, because they prioritize other things over lifting people out of poverty, as you're doing in this post.

Instead they focus on lifting the "right people" out of poverty. Because that's the main reason to be able to pick and choose your charity: to make sure it goes to the people you think deserve it, or will use it right, or so on.
Replacing the keyboard on my 2018 retina/touchbar MacBook Pro was somewhat of a nightmare because it is riveted to the chassis and also screwed down with like 42 screws - but afterwards I actually preferred the feel of the keyboard with the new subtle 'give' that it had. The juice was worth the squeeze.

Keyboard on the M2 air is outstanding though, so the 2018 MBP is now collecting dust. I should probably find a way to turn it into a headless vm host with built-in battery backup but something about putting a closed laptop in the rack feels trashy.
I know that my ISP doesnt give me public IP address, so it's hard to self host anything, because my IP is not accessible to the global Internet.

But at least, can my IP be publicly accessible within the ISP's internal network? So, it's a small scale intranet of people who use the same ISP service as me.

I'm still struggling to understand how computer network works, so i'm still unsure whether this plan is feasible or not.

If this plan is feasible, i'm looking to work on several p2p projects. For example, a web app that you can serve directly from your phone. So i dont have to pay my monthly server hosting fee anymore.

Did Notion focus on selling before they had the any semblance of a product? I thought the founders holed up in a Japan for months to get an early version implemented before things started taking off.
If it generates revenue, it's not going down. There is absolutely no incentive at all to remove it. In fact, it gives the consumer more choices, and more ways to give money to the gig delivery service, and acts as a bulwark against being bullied by chains.
I think you kinda have a point when it's one physical location presenting itself as multiple different options whose food would never belong on the same menu together at a dine in restaurant in the first place.

Where I think it's shady is one kitchen pretending to be 10 different restaurants all serving the same type of food under different restaurant names, just to basically game the system into presenting them to more consumers.

The main difference between this and the hotel case is that when a business lists another "restaurant" on Uber Eats/Grubhub/whatever they're effectively taking away some advertising space from all the other restaurants on the platform. Whereas when a hotel adds another "restaurant" frontend to their kitchen, nothing really changes for all the other places in town. And it would be painfully obvious if one hotel opened up 10 nearly identical e.g. indian restaurants on the same premises.

TLDR: It's not possible for the practice to get to a predatory level in the physical world so it's less of a concern, even though it's fundamentally very similar.
This is why you should ignore recruiters when they try to include a “guaranteed” bonus in the total compensation figure they give you. It’s never guaranteed.
Is it money laundering in that "dirty" money pays for the bots that rack up the streams, which generates "clean" money paid from Spotify to the fake artist?
That's a description of objective. Additionally there is a very simple test for whether your allegedly subjective edge case was objectively right. Did the thing you were trying to do get done? If the answer is no, then it might have been a reasonable strategy, but if there was a different strategy that would have achieved your goals (both stated and unstated) better then it wasn't the most correct strategy.

There are actions that lead to the things you want (whether profit, or a project, or a team that feels fulfilled, a sane and safe working environment, etc) being done, and actions that do not. Sometimes which are which are unknown or even unknowable ahead of time or the only known thing is that attempting to instrument humans and treat them as machines will not work. Sometimes they are very particular to the situation. But once your actions have an explicit goal then strategies for achieving that goal are objective.
Yep. You don't have forever.
Wow, I feel like this article was written for me. I too just recently stumbled upon the significance of Planck's work while reading David Bohm's "Quantum Theory". It was such a pleasing thing and wasn't too difficult to follow at all. It uses classical electrodynamics to get an expression for the energy contained in the box with respect to frequency, which of course disagrees with experiment. Then he supposes that energy could only be transferred in certain chunks, and uses statistical mechanics to show what the new distribution looks like.

As you say, the existence of photons wasn't immediately jumped to. All that he deduces is that energy transfer must be quantized, and this is the real insight of quantum mechanics, but it gets lost in the woo-ey clickbaity world of modern pop sci.

It was so nice to read the derivation from the point of view of a contemporary 20th century physicist, made me want to start reading a bunch of other 20th century physics papers in their original form.

Rather than loan forgiveness, why doesn't the government go after the corporations that ran these for-profit institutes for "higher education" that milked student loan programs year after year to provide useless education to suckers too ignorant to refuse? Having worked for some of the largest over the years to get the inside scoop (and now tend to refuse working for edu's as a result), they're all mostly scumbag organizations for the most part no matter how "christian" godly/goodly they pretend to be, or not, where I have more respect for the "nots". Flip side, look at the even community colleges, they're run like state programs, and hire generally only the worst people as they're institutionalized in for the state benefits and retirement. There is no winning if you actually need education anymore.
About Putin, it appears he was an undistinguished functionary during his time at the KGB. It wasn't until he got into politics that he started to get noticed as an effective operator. His KGB experience doesn't seem to have imbued him with any great analytical ability, though it has left him with paternalistic feelings toward his old outfit.

As for balanced coverage of the Kremlin, I wish I could find a good source. The NYT and WaPo seem to uncritically accept the narratives from Washington and Ukrainian sources. In military affairs, I know of a few European analysts who rely more on direct observation and their accounts differ considerably from mass media. For political analysis, the people whose past work I consider the most knowledgeable and careful seem to be largely silent now. Maybe, in the lack of solid intel, they consider it most responsible to not say anything.

> Yes, your house is vacant if nobody is there during the test period (in the case of this example, a month).

What does "vacant during [a month]" mean?

As I said - I'm there on weekends. Is the house vacant? How about if I miss a couple of weekends because I'm in the hospital? Or, because the plumbing is out while I have some work done.

If I have a house-sitter, I'm good, right?

> Keep in mind that if the workforce left because they are priced out, your vacation paradise would no longer have shops / fueling stations / paid activities, as there would be no one left to provide those services. Driving down the mountain every week for groceries and gas will probably become tedious. Want pizza? No one is going to deliver with X hours round trip.

You really don't understand how vacation houses work.

Moreover, folks with vacation houses use very little of the infrastructure that you're so concerned with.

I find it "interesting" that you're so concerned with whether a "rich person" can get a pizza or has to travel to get things. You don't care about their other needs, so why do you care in this situation?

The answer is that you don't - you're just flailing around for an argument.
I'm sure that would never happen.
Apple co-founded ARM, so they almost certainly have a custom deal/licensing terms.

I was actually pleasantly surprised with the performance of a $100 x86 HP tablet (running Windows 8.1 of all things) I got back in 2014 or so. It booted and launched apps really fast thanks to the SSD, faster than my regular computer that had an HDD at the time. The Atom processor and single gig of RAM didn’t hamstring it too much for basic web browsing.

The strangest part of that setup was that it used a 32 bit UEFI and a 64 bit operating system, so I couldn’t use regular Linux images. But hey, you could configure the UEFI settings using only the touchscreen!

Naturally the battery life was terrible and it lasted fewer than 12 hours in sleep mode, so it spent little time outside the junk drawer too.

Again, you're assuming they don't have surrogates. This is still an assumption. The miscommunication here is that you think I'm a conspiracy theorist or something, and I think you're naive. But so what? Sure, maybe I'm seeing phantoms where they don't exist. We've clearly had different life experiences though. To me the basic calculus of a multi-trillion dollar company perhaps throwing out a few million bucks a year to pay "surrogates" to influence opinion on popular online forums is not the claim that carries the burden of proof. I'd be absolutely shocked if they weren't doing this. But again, there's no way we can even argue if you think the burden of proof goes in the opposite direction. But at least understand that neither of our claims are "simpler" than the other. My original comment saying "more simpler" was a bit of sarcasm in case that didn't come through.
Based on reports, Apple said nothing about a desire to "increase productivity", but as per Tim Cook, this move is to preserve the "in-person collaboration that is so essential to our culture."

To be fair, Spotify often conflates lesser-known artists that have the same name, particularly if they both inhabit some kind of "alt" genre, even if the two genres are totally different alt genres. Are they two different artists, or did they just change their sound?

Sometimes it's obvious (e.g. techno DJ and death metal band with same name), but sometimes it's not even easy for a human to decide (two unrelated indie bands from the early '10s with the same name).

So it's not too much of a stretch to imagine that it can be exploited for money laundering and/or algorithm revenue farming.
That's the correct response.
The "good" service you may have received has been ruined by excessive tip demand so the service is now "bad" and deserves smaller or 0 tip.

The 12” MacBook came out in 2015 and had terrible performance and a problem with overheating. Insider reports say that Intel had promised a lower power chip with better performance that Apple designed the MacBook for but then Intel killed that chip and Apple had to use another Intel mobile chip. Some people feel that was when the problem got real.

Grace and humility are sadly lacking here (though I don't find these to be common traits in executive types). I understand you built this thing and your identity is wrapped up in it, but at some point you have to respect that the mission has become bigger than you.

"Allegations from the board — reinforced by multiple interviews that TechCrunch conducted with former BGC employees — included Bryant misgendering a staff member and creating a toxic work environment. Bryant has denied these allegations."

Even if the allegations turn out to be false, is your paycheck and status so important that you're willing to risk all the momentum you've built in helping black girls get into tech? Jeopardizing a generational movement like this is so shortsighted it hurts. It feels like the Judgement of Solomon [1] except the real mother would rather the baby die than have it live on without her.

If you're reading this Kimberly, the right thing at this point is to let go. Relinquish the domain and other BGC assets. Let them live. The black girls your org was helping shouldn't be punished because of a spat between you and the board. All that legal shit can play out behind the scenes. From the outside looking in, your current actions are doing more harm than good and it's a bad look for you. You'll always be the spark of Black Girls Code and no one can steal that from you, but don't be the fire that burns it down.

SDR video barely has the bit depth to represent dark content uncompressed (16-235 YUV 4:2:0 is quite less than 0-255 RGB 480p). Highly saturated red and blue scenes also can't be represented well.

Higher bit depth video helps here, but it seems like people want to sell you 4K even if all you want is HDR. And nobody wants to pay for the 4K Netflix tier.

The thesis that Netflix has a prescribed look & feel is misplaced in my view. Instead, my money is on the idea that it is similar to the Instagram effect on contemporary esthetics and artists.

The critique from the author doesn't apply to many many titles. For instance the neon / indoor thing is clearly absurd in the case of Grace & Frankie. They also don't apply their "common characteristics" to animated fare...

Ozark has a very different look & feel to Atypical.
2015 was a pivotal year to indicate Apples future direction, here’s why …

2015 is the year both the (Intel) 12” MacBook and the first iPad Pro were released.

These we also both entirely new form factors for Apple (and both roughly the same size).

On the Intel front, Apple saw how underperforming, short lasting battery and hot the 12” MacBook was.

Then they saw how performant, long battery lasting and cool their iPad (ARM chip) was.

This became an easy decision for Apple to ditch Intel when they saw how much better their own iPad Pro was relative to the 12” Intel MacBook.

"Funded enough" would mean things like GP appointments in days rather than weeks, and specialized diagnosis/treatment in weeks rather than years.

The good anime production methods were invented in ~the 80s - 60-70s anime were based on looking at Disney once and then figuring out how to do it for much less than a reasonable budget. 70s anime is painful to look at, kind of like if you made a show out of stop motion cardboard cutouts.

So I wouldn't really call them generational. They are suffering though, as they took on too much business without getting paid enough for it, and the studios can't keep up.
