> ever use a power drill? 7 different battery types non compatible with each other.

Battery is the proprietary part. The engine (battery + motor) makes it spin, but for the purpose of making a hole or driving a screw one can use a wide array of standardized bits from various manufacturers. You may need an SDS adapter (one way or the other) and that's it. Same bits will even work with a hand cranked drill press built 100 years ago.
> I do love OpenWrt but the upgrade experience is still a pain because user-installed packages need to be reinstalled manually.

Just use image-builder. Or better, create a script which uses image-builder for you.

For me, upgrading to newer releases for my 7 OpenWRT devices, is mostly just updating a version number and waiting for the build to complete (a few minutes at tops).

It's not really hard.

I may have gone in a bit over-the-top, with makefile and dependencies at all[1], but at the core of things, it's not really hard.

Because the companies can develop different toolsets that do different things (the weight/power tradeoff for one, some battery connectors allow more than just voltage to cross, but also information and the tool can work with the charger/battery to produce better power), and for me the actual downsides have been minor or none.

Even construction guys often have a huge mix of various tool brand and battery types and it's sometimes a minor annoyance.

And you'll notice that AA batteries are almost universally ... gone; replaced with built-in batteries or custom-wrapped lithium batteries.

Standards are great when things are calmed down, but when there's rapid advance they can cause their own issues (we saw this in the wireless world). Even the electric charger for cars thing runs into the limits of the standard (the fastest charging is almost always non-standardized).

Having a "baseline" standard for those could be nice, something like we have with USB, but even that has its annoying problems.
If they had to comply with local law in every area they operate it would be extremely complicated and expensive to manage. I think they fear the precedent not the dollars in this specific case.

Edit: To be clear my opinion is that FB should be forced to comply, by federal action if necessary. That their business depends on not taking responsibility for the messages they choose to amplify is their problem and they should be paying the cost of that.

Both. You can use it on real hardware if you have it, but it runs on emulators too.
Agree, but think there’s potential for improved typing speed on desktop. I just learned about this new keyboard (called CharaChorder) that lets you type 300WPM+ by pressing multiple multi-directional keys at once (ie “chording” keys). Could definitely see it taking off with professionals who are bottlenecked by typing speed.
You made a much stronger claim in your original post:

>"Drug use isn't associated with crime and filth until we make it so via harsh city policies."

Now you're saying that legalizing and regulating does not lead to a 'crime spike', which is a very different position.

Researchers seem to believe that it is virtually impossible to lead a functional (non-criminal) life when addicted to certain substances (like certain opiates, methamphetamines, and crack cocaine). From my personal experiences, this seems to be true; are you arguing that people addicted to these substances will lead healthy lives if the drugs are legalized?

For the record, I am in favor of fully legalizing everything, but I don't believe it'll somehow reduce or solve the crime issues.
Alcohol might be a bad example since it does lead to lowered inhibitions and, depending on the environment, often more brawling or risky driving than would happen without it.

The key here is probably the 'depending on the environment' bit. Hashish used to be closely associated with political assassinations, now... not so much. But it could be again, given the right(?) culture.

I am confused here. Referential integrity can only be implemnented in the database. If you try in the application there are race conditions that will break it. RI is a major reason to use a RMDBS (Look it is a Referential Database System)
No. Firefox has been dying for, what, a decade now (losing market share since 2013)? The only people using Firefox are the people who care about Firefox as a product and a competitor, which is (in the grand scheme of things), almost nobody. Everybody else left, often with decent enough reason. Google recommended Chrome, Chrome was faster for a long time, Firefox stagnated and put ads and sponsorships everywhere, and wasn't better in almost any respect for a normal user than Chrome.

1)You can't succeed as a non-profit if you don't make money.

2)If the FSF cared about their goal of fostering free software blah blah, then why didn't they fire RMS out a cannon when basically the entire open-source world said "fire that serial sexual harasser who keeps opening his mouth about child rape not being rape, or we stop giving you money / working with you."

They chose, overwhelmingly and very petulantly, to continue letting RMS have a leadership role.
Heat pumps can also replace the AC heat exchanger in a home HVAC setup. It’s what we did. We’ll have gas backup for when winter sucks, but otherwise we’ll use the heat exchanger.
That's true - the hills, whales, architecture, and density that attracted bohemians before aren't going anywhere

The people on the sidelines will definitely provide a floor to the prices of the homes.

Home prices aside though the loss of the lucrative office workers buying lunch and renting offices will decrease tax revenue.

Unless someone has any examples of a city that has navigated a downsizing well I do believe the QoL in 5 years will be worse than today's (provided we don't see an epic return to office).

The question for people invested in the region is: "how much would demand from sideline people for these properties change if QoL was worse?"

>From where I'm standing, productivity doesn't look so great. It's an open secret in my remote-heavy, North American west-coast social circle that everyone knocks off at 1-2pm when the east coast people are definitely logged off. Probably the east coast people are doing the same thing, but in the morning. Lots of happily phoning it in.

That hasn't been my experience at all. I work for a multinational company with teams spread across the globe - daily meetings with West Coast, London, and Mumbai and productivity has been fantastic in the past 2 years across all R&D teams (can't speak for others). Are you sure this isn't just an issue with your internal culture?

That's... kind of the point, no? Most people use computers most of the time in a way that's not free by FSF standards.
I DCA TQQQ, but you have to know that in 2008, for example, had a 96% drawdown. The triple leverage can basically wipe out your entire equity, so you need a strong stomach.
I notice a few problems with this:

1. The text on the title page runs off the right border.

2. The contents are blank and the indexes say "(Index is nonexistent)".

3. The inline links are all broken, e.g., "See ⟨undefined⟩ [Arithmetic], page ⟨undefined⟩."

I generated the PDF by running "make c.pdf" in a Docker container from this Dockerfile:

Did I somehow build incorrectly, or are these issues with the upstream repository?
When I visited it, some time ago, it mostly seemed like a lot of angsty teens shitposting.

My thoroughly unscientific analysis of the situation seemed like it was about 98% bullshit posts and maybe 2% of the posts I found truly objectionable (mostly jew/black hate) but not illegal.

I'm not doubting that there is some illegal stuff there, nor that there is some truly vile content, but, I don't even think it's in the majority on a post-level basis.
What's missing is that it also affects linking, and results in this strange action-at-a-distance. Maybe disabling the linker part with -shared would be a reasonable compromise.
What’s New in TensorFlow 2.10?
Mostly because it is closed source, and also the odd behind-the-scenes drama of Resilio's spin out from BitTorrent (the company, not the tech). (The BitTorrent company of today is a strange cryptocurrency/NFT zombie of the tech company it originally was.) To my understanding that drama and corporate spin out in part even influenced the creation of Syncthing as an alternative.

From my view, Resilio is still easier to use with better apps than Syncthing, and in theory their corporate business model seems sustainable (more so than the previous parent company) and can provide useful corporate support when such needs occur. But there's still lingering doubts after all this time that they will continue to do the right things, support the software well, and it is closed source so there's not a lot of community support options if the company's business model pivots in any accidentally similar way to the events that lead to Resilio existing in the first place.

These are just convenient features that most ORMs provide and can exist entirely outside of ORMs, they are not the primary purpose of ORMs.
Ungoogled Chromium?

I've heard that the cryptocurrency features are disabled by default in Brave, but I've never used it.
I don't live in San Francisco, so please humor me, but are you talking about dog poop or human poop? I know this is an absurd question -- I've never seen human poop on a sidewalk in my entire life -- but I've heard stories about SF...
NIMBYism is only a problem because you aren't allowed to build anywhere but their back yards.

Maybe when all of this commercial real estate dies they'll rezone/remove zoning and allow people to build where they can.

Sure residents can be NIMBYs but FAANG doesn't want to have their beautiful campuses flanked by the poors either.
I guess we got the elected we voted for. Now unfortunately, we did not have much choice.
Nonetheless they are supposed to plan for this city. They should recognize that NIMBism is not sustainable.
The BoS needs to act swiftly and help convert most of the commercial into residential units. This could help mitigate the issue. If Wework started to not pay its property tax, maybe converting those square feet in residential condos would at least bring some property tax money.
(I'm an Architect who has built in SF)

Parking spaces, front yards, back yards, building heights, building types, density etc are all City Planning functions, and you're right, have little to do with life/safety typically, and in many ways are quite destructive by making walkable livable cities very difficult to do now.

The Building codes, on the other hand, have evolved with each disaster over the last century or two - a building collapsing in an earthquake, people dying in fires, etc. So those have real life/safety protection as a primary directive.
Is there a way to use tree style tabs on Brave? I was using Sidewise (via sideloading since it's not in the Chrome Store anymore), but it seems to have been broken by a recent update. I'm about ready to jump ship because I need TST. I have otherwise liked using Brave though!
> Disable Scroll To Text Fragment

Why would Brave disable this? In my opinion, this is one of the most useful additions to browsers in recent memory, and it's quite annoying to click a link expecting to go a specific section and just be put at the top of the page. I noticed this was broken in Brave, but I never would have imagined they intentionally broke the feature.
Also wondering how much this has to do with Shoplifting and other crimes simply being decriminalized.
> In both markets there is surprising silence on REITs and corporations buying up residential living spaces and flipping it. Wouldn't be surprised if those special interest groups also own/influence local media as well.

I imagine that they're all financing YIMBY organizations, whose aims would do nothing but increase the value of their holdings.
I think the point is not to force decentralization, but to allow it. When the protocol is open, there are more chances to break the monopolies through innovation, quality of service etc. and avoid lock-in.

In this case, IPFS breaks the monopoly of trust (only obtaining content from a single source because that source is the reputable source for it). Content addressed data makes the source irrelevant. Many possibilities open from there (i.e. breaking the monopoly of storage).
pretty sure it's a very simple problem, brutally simple even.
For someone who claims to be such an expert on my subjective experiences, you seem to rely an awful lot on name-calling, straw-man arguments and assuming opinions I have not stated. Bravo.

I mean, comparing San Francisco and Florida is crazy. One is a medium-density place with one of the best climate on earth and vaguely decent state politics, the other one is a soon-to-be-sinking-in-the-water mostly red state with cities that are just suburbs with crazy traffic and stupid laws.

People don't live in SF because they want to live in a detached SFH and stay inside most of the day, I could do that anywhere in the US.
With JavaScript you just have a lot of haters and lovers. Not many I don't mind ones.
You clearly fall on the hater category. That's not an issue, but the way you represent it is not true.
You can just not use those features. It's not like they upsell you on them or anything. If you don't use them they aren't in your face. I actually tried using them and found them kind of silly and useless. No website or creator I visit seems to be using attention tokens, and the tokens I bought to just to try it out remain unspent.

Moores law is still a thing, it’s just that the “jumps” between progression along the curve are longer. It will eventually reach infinity, but that’ll be awhile.

Almost everything everyone accuses Mozilla of and uses as their reasons for leaving is far worse in a Chrome ecosystem. It boggles my mind how people can complain about X and then jump to chrome where X is just as bad or worse.
The next big thing in web development: WebAssembly. More specifically: the end of Javascript, HTML, and CSS.

I remember when Gmail first came out, there was a major revolution in how webapps were written. All of a sudden it was all about AJAX! There have been several of those major ebbs and flows, where the whole industry decides that a particular way to do something is the preferred way, and so everybody does it. Entire cottage industries are then developed to train up some programmers on how to do that thing.

And usually, those transitions happened because some big company rewrites a bunch of their stuff. I'd say the most recent one of those is Facebook creating React and doing all their stuff in it. We're still riding that wave.

But, browsers have more or less completed their transition away from being some kind of "document" viewer and into being a fully-fledged execution environment and rendering system. WASM lets you run stuff fast. There are already libraries for languages like Go and Rust that purport to let you compile your app to desktop, mobile, and WASM. Truly one codebase.

I think a big company will come along and do it, and then everyone will do it. Personally, I can't wait for the transition. I never really liked web technologies, despite having worked with them for about 20 years now.
Why the web framework hype train is always moving
Who said anything about Moore's Law up until this point? The person you responded to just said they see hope for the next billion (anywhere within that window, at least) years based on the last century alone. That's a pretty long amount of time to advance.

Not sure why you needed to rip them apart for words that you put into their mouth.

If you're aUS citizen or permanent resident, the US will still tax that (beyond the Foreign Income Tax Credit).
So yes, "fees" in our context refers to fees internal to the system, and transactions with the outside world are beyond SoV0's ability to control.

So basically, you're attempting to build an isolated economic/value system. How this relates to the outside world will be left to the usual suspects.

Sounds like a prescription to become just another crypto --- albeit one with less functionality than most. If it catches on, Binance will probably just convert it into one of their coins in the interest of "efficiency".
More amazing and undervalued is Google Apps Script which allows for attaching JavaScript to Google Docs (most useful with Sheets). Including a "fetch(url)" function for calling APIs.

I don't know much about the practical engineering of modern codecs, I was just assuming that the exact order and combination of operations (particularly rounding) would be underspecified to allow for different architectures, and that would impact at least the low bits of the output. magicalhippo's comment suggests this might not actually be the case for H.264, which does also have a lossless mode...

There's another more important point, though: Modern lossy codecs are designed to be perceptually transparent, rather than minimizing an absolute signal error. The difference is a likely a large and unpredictable signal, so the typical Rice coding will be ineffective for compressing the residual.

Wavelets still might be interesting as a basis, there's at least one project [1] that reports comparable ratios to FLAC, if a bit lower.

The real solution to the housing crisis in the bay area is to shift the center of jobs to the south - san jose. There is more land there, the city is willing to build highrises, and so on. The "crisis" is because people went from a focus on the already-crowded peninsula to the ultra-limited-space SF.
Exactly. We need characters like RMS to buck the trends, even if they come off as a*holes to us. And RMS was right about the danger of software not being under our control.
>But building codes in many places in the USA disallow making places that small.

Given how little exercise people get and that we are typically glued to a screen (tv, laptop, or phone) during waking hours, I could see an argument for lowering floor space minimums.
I'm glad it did. They made an amazing browser at light speed that people actually want to use due to that decision.

The interesting question to me is...what happens if Brave gets bigger than Chrome. Like how Ubuntu did Debian, on the desktop at least.

Does Google nix Chromium? More restrictive licensing? Curious the outcome.
Hard forking isn't a practical consideration unless the organization in question is willing to build a team that can rival Google's Blink/Chrome team, which is a ridiculously tall order. Microsoft is capable of doing that but I don't think they want to.
Hmm, thought the problem with that was poor fidelity.. from the top comment:

> go.sum… ends up reporting a lot of vulnerabilities that you don't actually care about because your code isn't actually linking to the optional transitive dependency that has the vulnerability in it.

Not a Go dev myself though.
I think that there is opportunity for some neat visualizations with map overlays, average costs of various categories of procedures, etc. As for the customer, I wouldn't know.
To be sure, my (observationally biased) sample set includes ~3x more "friends working in tech for multinationals" than coworkers.
do you have statistics/links for this "crime not being lower, only reporting is lower" claim?
A lot of those are Chrome-only.
$20,000 for a pilot trash can is pretty ridiculous, however.

$20,000 was for a one off (well, each of the three custom designs cost about that much) garbage can. The off-the-shelf models cost between $600 and $2,800 and the city budgeted no more than $3,000 per can.

In what way is proxying through Brave better than talking to the G directly anyway?
Yes, but I don't think SF is an exception here. The whole Bay Area is a NIMBY nest that looks frozen in time with infrastructure similar to what was in Europe in the 1950s. That's how my SF neighbor pays 30x less property tax than I do though, so there's that.

Too much local democracy: "I don't want someone in Sacramento deciding for me" is how you end up with this expression of pure individualism, where Atherton residents who have never taken public transportation in their life can block Caltrain development used by the working mass.
> Why would that be the practical limit for intelligent extraterrestrial life?

Might not be, but it really doesn't matter that much. The problem is that most of the fuel expenditure is going to lift fuel, not rocket or payload. WIth even the most energetic chemical fuels, only 15% of the total takeoff weight is rocket+payload, and improving the weight of the rocket doesn't change that - you just get whatever weight you trim off the rocket materials as potential payload, and the returns diminish quickly.
They are not Russian taxpayers. Also half of the team is Ukrainian.

This is probably the #1 feature that gives me the most personal conflict.

I remember seeing it for the first time and thinking, “oh here we go. Google needed browsers to have a feature to make its search engine UX better…” But I also cannot deny just how useful it is.
How can you say this? We get all kinds of services for free, or very cheap. The most valuable service, search, is free.

Honestly, if Microsoft didn't stifle innovation from 1995 on, nobody else did. At least there's competition between the tech giants today.

I hate to kill the messenger, but this does appear in Newsweek. This smacks of old media jealousy of newcomer's success.
