Timeouts and expirations are an absolute plague of the modern world. I can count on one hand the number of sites that I want to be logged out from automatically.
This is beautiful. My apologies if I missed it, but is it possible to download the produced figure as an STL (or something equivalent)?
This isn't about Chrome, but about Chromium... the same source that Brave is based on. Most of these settings are configurable via policies as well. Firefox looks equally bad if not worse.
It became a lot easier to move across the country with the rise of cars and commercial flying, and CA is a really nice place (from a climate and natural beauty perspective, plus the thriving industries). So it may not be the only reason, but I think if prices were equal, many people would choose CA over Indiana for example, if they were looking to move somewhere new.
Very cool. Who do you see as the likely users of that database? Is it primarily for researchers/data journalists, or is there a commercial value to it?

I'd be very curious to read more about the data cleaning phase when you get there. Specifically, how hard it is to combine this data and construct good schemas.
Sorry, I misinterpreted your message
That's one excellently human-readable makefile, too.
I'm arguing treating "custodial staff" as some distinct group that deserves special treatment, in deep need of your smiles and door holding is condescending. The tone of the original article and this reply came across like the authors think they're somehow above the "custodial staff". Like they are lords talking about the peasantry.
I'm "just" a worker who has also benefited from remote work.

It's annoying to see people attack anyone who thinks there is a chance of a negative side effect of WFH.

On all Windows operating systems I have used, this workaround (winkey+left/right) unfortunately does not work for moving modal pop-ups.

For example, when starting KeePass by opening a .kdbx password safe file, KeePass will first open the master password input modal pop-up.

If that happens on a turned-off screen (IMHO it opens on the screen on which the KeePass main window was placed before the process exited on the previous run), you'll be lost.

Very frustrating, e.g. for multi-screen home theater setups.

Anyone please share your solutions to this problem.

I wish I could find it, but I recall some research indicating that elected officials are very good at giving voters the stuff they want (even if it’s internally inconsistent) e.g. voters want more spending on education, healthcare and don’t want cuts anywhere else + plus want less deficit spending/balanced budget = impossible, but as the politician understood that they’d rewarded for increasing spending in your important areas, and can live with you blaming for the deficit spending because hey, what you wanted wasn’t possible…
It once again makes me wonder what they want to do with all that money. Meta is one of the most powerful companies. They get all this money to sell some of that money.

What really is the end game here? The whole point of money or power would be to use it to do something you care about? What use is money and power for the sake of itself? Why have it if all you want is more of it?

At least some rich people seem to want to do something with their riches and power. Which makes the rest of them even more of an enigma.

Good point. Clearly, I will need an Android client to gain the widest audience. Hopefully more and more people will want a private way to stay connected and I can build it.
> If anything, their government affairs unit is laughably incapable of keeping its client from being a perennial political punching bag.

To be honest I'm pretty sure they are perfectly ok being a political punching bag as long as that's where it ends and no-one does anything substantial to them... Sadly, I don't recall them really getting their teeth kicked in for anything they did wrong.
NYC is already starting to see office-to-residential (apartments) conversions, even down near Wall Street. Sad that this article doesn't even consider that (I searched for "residen" and found only a single match, for "president".

If SF has a surplus of office space and a shortage of housing stock, well the buildings are already built.

I don't see why you couldn't do both: Saleforce tower could have some residential floors and office floors.
I'm sure that die hard fans of any failing company said the same thing. Further proof that Firefox fans mentality is more akin to a cult than actual technical merits.
pretty sure the discord as a whole was a pivot away from a video game (I believe they extracted the chat feature they'd built for the game and ran with that)
Ohhh I totally missed that you're the author of Glicol. Okay. So you integrated Hydra as like a first-class thing -- I see I see. I thought you were plugging two 3rd party things together.

So I'm guessing that the best case scenario for you is to import Bauble as like a normal JavaScript dependency, and then use the editor built into the Glicol UI to write scripts, and then just call like Bauble.compile(canvas, script). Right?

Bauble doesn't really know how to be embedded in another page right now -- it's more like an app than a library. But it would be possible to extract the core parts. It's a little tricky because it uses WASM, so it kinda needs to load itself a little specially, but I'm sure there's some way around that.

I have a strange feeling when thinking about the solution especially on macOS. The nix installation needs its store located at /nix which got harder to initialize since macOS Catalina or Mojave added the root protection. In general this is no problem when installing nix on its own. But when a wrapper tool does this and breaks the setup etc that feels hrmm problematic.

I see potential setup issues coming up with weird store error messages no normal human being being able to understand.

I really like nix and nixos. But I had already a nix setup which refused to build a rust project because of some weird linkage errors with libc or something. And I couldn’t make heads or tails out of it.

But I will check out this tool to get a better feeling. A general solution to this issue would be awesome. I would prefer JNI build support as well ;)
It looks awesome, but couldn't it be a cargo plugin instead? (Or nix plugin).

Something like cargo --nix build ...

The problem with the name riff is that it's a new tool name to learn again, and nix already has name recognition. I feel that there are just too many tool names to learn in the open source ecosystem.
The force for a cherry red switch is only around 50g. A brake, rather than direct electromagnetic force, could be used most of the time (see Playstation 5 controller [1]).

Red state in the Midwest that uses the federal exchange. I understand things are much better for ACA plans—both prices and plan quality—in states that have taken healthcare and the ACA seriously (so, mostly blue states) but that's only... like, half of all states, at best. Granted, that's our own stupid state's fault, but still.

I don't know if I'm "good", i.e. efficient at debugging. I'm just incredibly persistent. If that means stepping through 20 layers of framework code... so be it. I've found weird undocumented edge cases that way.

That said, you mention not getting your code to compile. I've never (at least not in recent memory) not been able to get my code to compile by myself after a while, but I also don't know what language you're working with. Are you struggling with the type system? That can usually be tackled by taking expressions apart, assigning them explicit types and then reasoning through the inputs and outputs (with pen and paper if need be).

The same can be said about Firefox, or any larger project. Yet people still do it and some people generate their own Linux distros using LFS. Just because it isn't painstakingly easy to build like a Go app, doesn't mean that it isn't possible or isn't done. Searching Google will find a lot of people forking Chromium and adding their own changes.
The soviets did something of almost the same level of sanity, they used rockets to dig holes rapidly.[0]

An underground rocket is basically a specialized rocket nozzle pointed straight at the ground, the hot fast moving exhaust gases are able to excavate soil and rock. Speed up to 100 m/s through soil and 5 m/s through solid rock have been claimed. Here's a video of a missile being repurposed to do this[1].

I've read, although I forget where, that there were concerns the soviets could use this technique to quickly place a nuclear weapon under west germany as part of a nuclear first strike. I suspect these concerns were quite short lived

Yep, that. In the US, risk-taking, being "the greatest", achieving success etc. are widely held as things to aspire to. I don't think it's great for people's mental health, but it produces a killer economy. Whereas in Europe, when someone thinks or talks like that, it's perceived as a bit off-putting. We're content here with relatively modest lifes and shooting for the stars is seen as foolish.

"In the world our human immune system evolved in hundreds of thousands of
years ago, infectious diseases could not become a major problem because, with a
few exceptions, when you survive an infectious disease, you usually don’t get it
again. Either it kills you or it leaves you completely immune to it for the rest of
your life. For the vast majority of human history our species lived in small tribes
that were spread thin and, for all intents and purposes, pretty isolated from each
other. An infectious disease simply could not become a dangerous threat and
establish itself in our ancestors effectively. Because if it infected a tribe, it would
infect every available person in no time and then die off because there would be
no one left to jump over. So our evolution did not really have to consider these
sorts of pathogens that much.

"As we became farmers and city dwellers our lifestyle changed forever—and
so did the diseases that targeted us. Living close together created a perfect
breeding ground for infectious diseases. Suddenly, in evolutionary terms, there
were hundreds or even thousands of victims to infect. As our ancestors were not
aware of the nature of microorganisms or even basic hygiene and they did not
yet possess tools like soap and indoor plumbing, there was not much they could
do—on the contrary, their lack of understanding made things worse.

"And when they began domesticating and living together with animals in
close quarters, often even sleeping in the same rooms, some pathogens jumped
over. Our new lifestyle turned out to be the perfect environment for the
pathogens of our new animal friends, to adapt to humans and vice versa. As a
consequence, virtually every infectious disease we know today arose in the last
ten thousand years. From cholera, smallpox, measles, influenza, and the
common cold to chicken pox."

Given the long history of ever increasing housing prices people have become accustomed to treating asset price inflation on property as income. Why work a 9-5 when your house can make your money (and your banks money) go to work for you. A lot of that money is spent - it's very difficult to un-spend it for a downturn. Plus a chunk of the recent nominal price inflation is due to general inflation and regressing to the same price 2 years ago is a loss in absolute real terms. Plus going forward people who could assume a $100K yearly increase in wealth from a property have lost that $100K in 'income' and must make up the shortfall from elsewhere. It's a huge marginal difference. Then there is the erosion of the tax base; governments make a percentage of the capital gains on nominal inflation as kind of a wealth tax. During a deflationary period this money disappears and can take a very long time to come back. The shortfall again must be made up for by further taxing the taxpayers or by borrowing with the expectation that the same taxpayers will pay it off later. These are the same taxpayers who lost their $100K in 'income' so they're not exactly flush with money.
How does Edge compare to Orion? Does it also have nested tabs? Vertical is good, but nested is what I need!
“Every application and system service defined its own object-relational schema”

On the minus side, every application and system service had to implement its own object-relational schema, and there was little support for doing that.

In theory, you could tell any text editor or text processor such things as

“tell every sentence whose third word is "foo" to set last word to first character”

and that entire code fragment would then run in the process of the editor, but in practice nobody implemented the support for such complex commands.

That every application basically chose its own subset of the language is part of the reason AppleScript is so hard to write.
If you pronounce the start of "character" the same way you pronounce "care" then I'm afraid you're pretty far away from the norm already.
What we learned (and can share) from passing our SoC 2 Type II audit
It would be better if we have Chromium's UI too. Brave's theme is not as good as Google's one.
The main issue with hard forking is keeping up with Google's unrelenting firehose of changes, many of which have serious security implications, which is going to become more and more difficult as the fork diverges. Maintaining an original web engine is certainly no simple task, but it's more reasonable than having to deal with the output of a much larger and more well-funded team.
People are NOT complaining about that (git, source, 4day old code, readable makefile that is better than a readme, etc)

People here are programmed to react a certain way to the very mention of Stallman. I will not elaborate further.

Yeah, there are probably differences. I suppose my overall point is that if you're buying mall brands, you are paying for brand first, and everything else second. I wouldn't expect good zippers from a mall store.
>The amount of crime and visible urban decay/blight seems just as pronounced (in Lower Manhattan) as it does in San Francisco

The crime/urban blight angle is a red-herring; It implies that there was anytime in the last 30 years that New York/San Francisco was anywhere nearly comparable to a city like Tokyo.

Manhattan is already seeing a net influx in people moving back into the city.[1]

@duffyjp : Maybe i'm mis-reading your comment here...but are we out of the GPU apocalypse yet? Genuinely curious, because I've been holding out getting a small desktop PC for homelab use. (Yes, yes, i know for server homelab stuff i don't really need a GPU, but GPU pricing i think tends to portend overall computing cost nowadays.)

I've always thought we as a civilization were jumping the gun with our focus on getting to Mars. Shouldn't we be focused on expanding industry into LEO and to the surface of the moon? We have no mining capability and no capacity to gather resources off-Earth with the intent to build anything with them. We can't even make fuel that I know of. We haven't even increased our LEO population beyond the ISS and Tiangong, with the capacity of at most a dozen people living in space at any one time.

If we want to get off this rock in a permanent way we need the ability to build ships and habitats in space, using materials sourced in space, outside of Earth's gravity well. I wish our space-centric billionaires were focusing on that instead of Mars, because there is a lot of work we'll need to do to make that happen. It's just not as sexy, I guess.

Generally speaking I think we should be focusing on iterating space habitats, ultimately working towards O'Neill cylinders.
>Please give us a comprehensive list of topics for which asking questions is a bad rhetorical device.

There is no complete list. Topics exist on a spectrum and some are completely poisoned by conspiracy thinking. If some anonymous person on the internet asks "how many people really died during the Holocaust?" I am going to assume bad faith before I assume honest knowledge seeking. Covid deniers aren't that extreme, but they have certainly gotten to a point in which I view rhetorical questions with skepticism.

>I'd like to understand the basis for your claim, and how you presume to know what's in OP's mind?

I don't have to "presume to know what's in OP's mind" in terms of those questions. They told us. They said "If you don't admit these (now-obvious) facts". They are obviously using the questions rhetorically.

My underlying point is in fact that I can't read OP's mind in regard to their motivation. That is what makes this a bad rhetorical device. It is guilty of bad faith through association. If OP's intent is for a good faith discussion, they should have used a different rhetorical style to avoid that association.

And once again, this is not an argument about whether OP's original point was correct or not. That isn't what the comments I was replying to were discussing and it isn't what I said in any of my comments.
> examples? Humans aren't exactly resilient or fast healers in my mind.

Presumably they were referring to horses (and possibly donkeys?) having to be euthanized after a broken leg. Which is so well known, even "the Far Side" got in on the action[1].

Yes, and if you want auto-updates, check out the Turris Omnia: https://www.turris.com/en/omnia/overview/

It's the best wireless router I've ever owned.

Pros:

- nice simple GUI for your typical stuff
- advanced GUI (that runs in parallel) for advanced stuff
- auto-updates with timely patches
- open source (inc. their additions) -- based on openwrt
- developed by a reputable non-profit that's been around since the 90s (CZ.NIC)

Cons:

- a little pricey
- current model is a few years old, so it's not the fastest option out there
- the current model doesn't support 802.11ax

To turn off the firewall, you just uncheck a box. I think all the other advanced stuff was opt-in.

Your logon cookies should be set serverside, with the Secure and HttpOnly flags set, entirely unaccessible by javascript. So they'll last 6 months.

It's cool seeing that Turqoise Health exists. One of my first programming projects back in the day (when I was trying to get a jr role in 2014) involved building a simple version based on data.gov medicare data. The inputs were terrible and tiny (e.g. chest pain at hospital X costs ~$60k on average across 5 patients), so I was always curious what a real world version might look like.

edit: As I reflect, I'm amused to recall that this was early enough in my path that I didn't know about DB indexes, so I was very proud that I figured out how to basically roll my own indexes by pre-sorting the columns by lat and lon. I don't remember whether my solution actually prevented a full-table scan, but it felt like a major breakthrough at the time.
