it didn't even require a "great declaration" to realize, as a thinking layperson, in ~april 2020 that this pandemic was serious but not nearly as deadly as the bubonic plague or the spanish flu, and that the elderly and unhealthy were disproportionately affected. that in turn made it obvious that targeted efforts were the right approach, but both parties were unwilling to do the right thing and let the opportunity pass for wielding and centralizing political power.
This lines up with my experience of DisplayPort over TB and USB being considerably less of a pain than HDMI over TB and USB, and compounds with my experience of HDMI generally being more of a pain than DisplayPort.

Sometimes I wish HDMI would just go away, or for HDMI-only devices (mainly TVs) to add a DisplayPort just so I wouldn’t have to deal with HDMI.
The original "La Femme Nikita" TV series had quite a few episodes with realistic hacking in them, although they didn't show all the difficult work behind the hacks that made them available on-demand. Sometimes they stepped over the realism line, but most of it was quite plausible.

Python has coroutines (in the original sense), so one can implement almost Break-break. For example, it's easy to implement an object so that this will work as expected:

from easytowritelibrary import LoopManager
lm = LoopManager()
for x in lm(a1):
for y in lm(a2):
if cond:
lm.break_(2); break
block()

It can support stuff like:

for x in lm(a1, "a1"):
for y in lm(a2, "a2"):
if cond1:
lm.break_("a1"); break
if cond2:
lm.continue_("a1"); break
block()

It can't handle "for-else" correctly, but maybe that's OK.

That would explain the issue with the colors on HDMI, but not why the DP connection doesn't work.

There is. Twitter mobs seem very effective these days.

The problem is what they do is legal, beneficial (because we have a lot of bad people) but not without downsides (again, because it helps some (or the same) bad people).

Since there's no easy way to sort out people and content it's hard to fault them for not doing so.

If what they were doing were 100% bad then it would be politically straightforward to ban it. But we already ban those things.

So what's needed is better systems, models, rules, processes that help with one of the underlying problems (eg. we need to either reduce the number of bad people or we need to get better at sorting content), then it again becomes politically simple to pressure providers to actually do better.

(One of the possible things that could be improved is a better way to do incremental changes. Currently CF can drop clients once, so they are not going take this lightly. If there were other ways to signal to clients that they are doing something problematic that would incentivize CF to utilize that incremental tool more.)
What features does this offer in comparison with just signing up for a Twilio number for $1/month? I've always just used their message logs UI to look at inbound messages for 2fac.
Early internet builders and users had a strong libertarian streak running through them. The early internet was awash with the optimism that increasing access to communication and routing around censorship is unequivocally good. The culture that existed then when internet users themselves where a social subgroup echos in the digital debate today.

Is there anything metaphysically inherit to the internet as free speech? That's up for debate. Would the early internet had been successful if this type had not been the ones to build it, I'm on the fence.
If I can get away with using .into() over as, I will. However, there are so many cases where you can't, and .try_into().unwrap() is just way too unwieldy. In particular, there's no way for me to go "I know I'm only ever going to run on 64-bit machines where sizeof(usize) == sizeof(u64), so usize should implement From<u64>" (and even more annoying, I might be carefully making sure this works on 32-bit and 64-bit machines and get screwed because Rust thinks it could be portable to a 16-bit usize despite the fact I'm allocating hundreds of MB of memory).

And of course there are times I do want to bitcast negative values to large positive unsigned values or vice versa, without error. So while I do understand why maybe you shouldn't use as, at the end of the day, it just ends up being easier to use it than not use it.

They feel differently because they are already born. However, if they never existed in the first place, they would not have the capacity to feel that way, or feel any way at all actually. It is the same argument as the abortion debate, where those against it appeal to the people already born that might have been aborted, but that is a false equivalence.

I'm sure you can come up with abstractions, but without first doing a whole system design (FRs & NFRs, mapping dependencies, customer requirements, etc) you'll have to scrap those abstractions when they don't match up with how the system ends up needing to operate. So I would recommend not even thinking about technical abstractions until you have a very large multi-layered system visualization.

For example: what is storage? A router stores packets temporarily; is that storage? A DNS resolver caches records; is that storage? A browser stores cookies; is that storage? A chat or email server & client may both store messages in different states for different purposes. What storage should be shared and shouldn't be, in what specific circumstances? Who is allowed to read and write to which thing at which time in which circumstance? All of that will affect your abstraction.

A surprising number of monitor docks only support USB 2 (perhaps because they think people will only use keyboards or mice).

Also, many monitor docks power off the USB ports when they go to sleep, and then you can't use a device on those ports (including a keyboard or mouse) to wake up the computer.
Android apps have no notion Linux even exists, it isn't exposed to userspace as public API.
You might want to have a look at USB SD card readers instead of USB sticks. Many (most?) (normal and mini but not micro size) SD cards and adapters have write-protect slider switches. Be careful though, I've found some of these sliders to be rather flimsy, I've had several break off or fall out of SD cards and adapters over the years.
Success with 2FA depends on the type of phone number. Right now oneway.tel offers US wireline VoIP numbers (from Twilio), which won't work for verification with some services (although there's no technical reason they can't).

I have one customer using a UK mobile number (also from Twilio) to successfully authenticate with Wise (among other things). If you're interested in testing out a non-US mobile number let me know via email to hello@oneway.tel and we can work something out.
I never discarded Poland and would never do that. Sincerely, an Eastern European.

The thing with Eastern Europe is, it's still a hub for body shops mostly. Sure, there are also big names there working on cool products thanks to remote jobs and offshoring from the tech scenes of other major tech hubs like SV/London, etc. but most of the jobs are still body-shop style.
If you're okay waiting a while linger and have plenty of RAM, https://github.com/bes-dev/stable_diffusion.openvino has a somewhat CPU-optimized version as well that relies on system memory rather than VRAM.

My laptop takes about 6 seconds per iteration so it's significantly slower, but if you're willing to wait I bet you'll have a much easier time plugging more RAM into your system than adding VRAM.
Docker is lot nicer with small distros, like Alpine. The images are incredibly tiny, with minimal dependencies.

Just did this myself, but I augmented our gas furnace, instead of replacing it. The two technologies can work in tandem, if it gets too cold for the heat pump to work efficiently.

You do need more room for the heat exchanger.

But you can also get “mini split” units which are basically single room units.

For example, the declarative tabs looks nice. But the only property for the contents of a tab is "text". Is there a way to define a DOM element the place there? Perhaps one I've constructed beforehand? I couldn't find one on the site.
If that's the case, shouldn't we have seen this behavior on Android? The Play Store has all kind of restrictions and it has always been possible to create you own store and only offer your apps in that store. Yet you can download apps from every mega corp in the Play store.

> Today, consumers can choose trusted curation and full integration (iDevices), or non-curated and unbundled (countless brand + Android OS options).

Or option 3: curated and integrated by buying an Android phone that comes bundled with all kinds of Google applications.
> You're phone is running out of battery while you're at the bar/on vacation? Then good luck finding someone with the same Motorola charger.

Curiously, many Nokia phones in the same generation seemed to use the same charger form factor, at least when I last checked.

Contrast this to me recently finding myself with an Android phone that has USB Type C and only a Nintendo Switch charger. I mean, it looks like it fits and both of them are the same form factor, right? So technically it should charge the phone, too. Except that it didn't (personal experience) and some online claimed that certain phone and charger combinations might cause them to (temporarily) stop working.

Ergo, instead of seeing that a Motorola charger won't work for my Nokia device, I was left wondering about whether it's even safe to share the charger given that the connectors do fit. Furthermore, I've seen cases where a USB cable actually doesn't carry data and can only be used for charging, with no clear/apparent indications of this, neither when buying it or when looking at it.

The world would be much simpler if one plug had one spec, with no deviations from it being permissible. If it fits, it should work.
Not trying to justify the Meta rebranding, especially since there were already other companies using that, but it does not look like Apple is doing us much of a better service by apparently going for the term "Reality" (or Reality One, Reality Pro)

Hear, hear! Of course, if you're at a smaller company I expect the Oracle sales reps will be off hunting bigger prey, so that likely helps keep it out of your stack also...
Again, see "reasonable people."

If someone disagrees with me on, say, whether or not the USG should subsidize EV manufacturers, I wouldn't expect a 3rd party to call either side of that debate deserving of, well, anything. However, when someone holds an opinion that $GROUP is less deserving of x _due solely to their existence, not their choices,_ I expect that opinion to be questioned.

Also, it's very possible to be wrong on the internet, be corrected, and become a better person without having your life ruined. I used to be somewhat of a troll. Not 4chan level, but I was definitely a crueler person than I was in real life. Someone once had the patience to engage me in questions, I realized what I was doing was harmful or at least not helpful, and I stopped the behavior.

I've been a happy pixel user for years after getting burned with some cheap Android phones, most notably One Plus.

The Pixel 6 is an unmitigated clusterfuck. GPS/Maps locking up is the worst. Either wont load or will lock up during a trip and you will miss a turn. Try rebooting a phone while you're alone on a motorway, then having to type in your route again - super dangerous.

I've had the camera (video) lock up mid scene. Focus locks up. Fingerprint recognition is a fail 25-50% of the time.

These have been known issues since release, I made the now incorrect assumption these were natural bugs that would be fixed over time.

Pixel 6 is the last phone from Google I will own. Not sure I want to jump to iOS yet but things are looking increasingly bleak in the Android garden
> Kiwifarms absolutely may have been a despicable place causing real harm to people. In that case, the police should initiate a request to take them down that Cloudflare or ISPs etc. are obligated to follow.

That approach is fairly easy to work around. Just make sure your site is in a country whose police cannot issue requests that Cloudflare is obligated to follow. For added protection pick a country that your victims are not in, ideally one that does not have good relations with the US or the countries of your victims so there is little law enforcement cooperation between them.

> A private company should not be making decisions on essentially freedom of speech

I'd much rather see private companies doing it than see just government doing it.

Consider a site that is not bad enough to be illegal under current law but bad enough that a solid majority of people think it should be stopped.

If it is only government that deals with these things eventually the law will be expanded to cover that site. We'll end up with an ever expanding boundary on what is illegal. A boundary that will probably be very hard to ever shrink. The law is unlikely to handle subtleties well and will catch sites that aren't actually bad but might appear to be so.

If private companies are also looking at what sites they facilitate are doing and dropping those that they think have gone too far it adds fuzziness that allows the system as a whole (private companies plus government) to deal with the bad sites in a way that isn't as blunt and permanent as making the sites illegal.

Government works best as the last level in a multilayered approach to problems.
typically you shall avoid shift on signed integers, especially NEVER left shift on signed char|short|int|whatever.

I limit shift strictly to unsigned integer numbers.
Only the first stage of the Saturn V used kerosene and it dropped off at about 61 km altitude. The two upper stages that actually pushed the spacecraft to the moon used liquid hydrogen.
Thanks, that's how I largely felt too. Software is a key part of developing biomaterials too, but deep tech is so much more.
The true types (int, unsigned etc) are correct for local variables, since they describe registers. The sized aliases are correct for struct fields and for arrays in memory.

You should prefer signed types for computing (if not storing) sizes and for pointer arithmetic, since they are more forgiving with underflow.
That's a bad take. Strikes are temporary, and have clear goals of increasing pay and work conditions. You talk as if a union is formed, then strikes indefinitely and hurts profits, then the business fails.

Unions have "fallen out of fashion" in the US because there are not enough labor protections in place. Even now you hear of Starbucks and Amazon even going so far as hiring firms to do hit jobs on union leaders. If you think this is because they are afraid of downtime, rather than having to actually share more of their profits with workers, suit yourself.
To clear up any confusion, it’s possibly a violation of the social contract. That is what’s under discussion. The xkcd you linked does not apply.

Nothing touchy about pointing out the risk of misinfo. And the book I mentioned is exactly about historical developments, as some of the most commonly used Chinese typewriters heavily resembled movable type printing press up until they were replaced with computers. A real book with real research instead of a bite-sized paywalled blog article.

In a day and age where Chinese language content occupies a significant portion of the Internet, there are still people who claim the non-alphabetical nature of the language is somehow a conspiracy at monopolizing knowledge. What's so touchy about recognizing some people being stuck in 19th century mentalities (not the author of the article, but the crowd these articles inevitably attract) are perhaps not the most credible?
Agreed! It is and will play a big role in current and future innovations in the world of atoms.

I would draw a line differently. If Alice wants to pass a message to Bob and Bob is refusing to hear it, it's Bob's personal decision. If Alice wants to pass a message to Bob, and Carol decides that Bob shouldn't be able to hear it, it's a form of censorship.

De-facto, the identity politics activists are provided free tools to reach the attention of the public, any any opposing movements that get popular enough get quickly shut down by equating the entire movement or platform with the worst action of their worst members.

There is a valid opinion that this is a coordinated policy aimed at turning the middle class vs. corporations conflict into a race/sexuality conflict that keeps the corporate interests unaffected [0].

> The original Chinese characters were emoji

This is one of the most absurd things I have ever read, but in an extremely funny way!

I think you're trying to make the argument that both Chinese characters and emoji are pictographs. Yes, a few Chinese characters originated as pictographs (a tiny minority of them), and emoji are one form of pictograph, but that... doesn't make Chinese characters emoji, not even "the original ones". It doesn't even put them on the same "continuum" -- one is stroke-based logograms that represent individual syllables of words, the other is pure artistic illustration.

You seem to be trying to redefine the word "emoji" into something it's not, your own idiosyncratic personal definition. But that's not how words work.
Literally almost any working camera will be fine, just pick one you like and have at it. As a beginner your photos aren't going to be amazing, so you won't gain much from some crazy expensive/fancy camera, nor do you even know if you'll like working with film.

You don't even need a light meter really (though they are very helpful), basic rules like sunny-16 will go along way and will help teach you how to judge exposure.

1950-60s rangefinders can be a fun place to start. They've got everything you need, nothing you don't, are full mechanical, and often very cheap.

The most important thing is to get out, learn how film behaves and to learn how to take good photos. Don't get caught in the trap a lot of beginners do worrying about gear to the point they focus on that more than actually using it.
On top of that, have people forgotten all the scientific progress that the first moon shot ignited?

It stands to reason that the the next step (a semi-permanent moon base, progress towards being able to launch more stuff into deeper space) will provide similar benefits.
