There are quite a few addons for Firefox for improving Facebook, here are three that I found right away and there are plenty more:

Facebook does make changes from time to time which makes it a bit of a cat and mouse game to keep these things working and that can easily get tiresome for people. Also some people might find the initial time investment to create these things to be too much.

There is another post in this thread where someone mentioned that for many people (but apparently not all???) including myself, browsing to https://www.facebook.com/?sk=h_chr tends to show your friends' posts in chronological order like many of us prefer. There are also several people who mention that using ad blockers like uBlock Origin do seem to be fairly effective at blocking most ads and other unwanted suggestions in Facebook and it does seem to work for me.
80 / .17 = 470 employees.

How does Patreon need this many employees? It really doesn't seem like that much of an operation.
Zelda Breath of the Wild is one example that definitely looks good, but isn't that graphically intensive, being so heavily stylised rather than realistic

The hard part is not the implementation.

The hard part is getting the designers to design something that would make use of the implementation.
> Either way, the Thrustmaster TWCS throttle does have some stiction and you might want to clean it up.

It really does, I opened mine up and cleaned off all the factory grease, replacing it with a bog standard lithium grease (sparingly!) and the difference is night and day.

Some people swear by the fancy silicon grease and I see a lot of good things but I'm fine with regular old lithium.
As a DM, I felt my job was to provide the illusion that the world was fixed, but "behind the scenes" the world was definitely not fixed, so that the players would get an interesting outcome regardless of their choices; with no "turning the pages back" option in D&D, the illusion can be maintained better than with CYOA.
I'm fully aware of pitfalls of c++ (and c), but I keep coming back to them as all the rest alternatives failed to provide the same speed, performance, and small size.

every language has its dark corner, none is perfect, same as C and C++. C and C++ are popular for decades is a fact, like it or not, data does not lie.
Because taxi business isn't actually that great business. You have to employ lot of relatively expensive drivers and they have to pay for costs of complex machine... And the users want to get it as cheap as possible and complain somewhat if prices ever go up.

Wouldn't any Russian force driving around in the Baltic states be easy targets for NATO cruise missiles and air power?

None of which NATO countries has offered to use in Ukraine.

I think logistics by railway would be problematic if NATO allies launched a few thousand cruise missiles.

Keep in mind, although he's classed as an 'ethical' hacker, many whitehats come from blackhat backgrounds, and turned whitehat because of fear of getting caught up in draconian CFAA[0] trials.

That's just not how VCs work. Basically it's you HAVE to always show hockey stick growth.

Steady 5-10% per year isn't good enough. It has to grow exponentially. So that's why you keep hiring and keep spreading out the service into a whole bunch of other areas.
Yes, it parses based on the from email. The short answer is that it doesn't protect against email spoofing. I do have some filtering set up, but it hasn't been effective in my testing.

However, you do receive a confirmation email after every new post. So if someone spoofed your email to make a post, you would get a notification email about that post. In the notification, you'd see what had been posted and could easily delete it. (Note that the email address associated with an account isn't made public anywhere, so someone would need to have doxxed you in this scenario.)

Of course, it would be pretty easy for a determined attacker to set up a mailbomb that flooded someone's page with hundreds of spoofed posts. At that point I would have to disable email posting for that account to stop the attack.

I'd be interested if you have any suggestions!
The ATC AI is still pretty awful I'm afraid. I would look into VATSIM if you like realism.
Wow have never seen one like this. Maybe recruiters just have “fun” after a while because their job seems like mostly fruitless cold calling. Probably not though, I wouldn’t respond or would ask to be removed from further communications
Hmm -- how is Gumroad doing? Is their business affected by the same economic slowdown issues, or did they find another way forward?
I'm not convinced there is such a thing as natural talent. (there is such a thing as lack of talent) All the greats are just average people who focused until they became great.

You just have forgotten what it is like to be a child who knows nothing. I've been speaking English since I was a toddler, I'm learning Spanish now and I make tons of mistakes and often can't understand even a basic sentence - but in fact I'm a lot better at Spanish than I was at English when I had equivalent amounts of study into English.

Once you are a minimal level of competency it is a lot easier to study as well. So if you have only a tiny head start you will be top of your class, and that is always more enjoyable.
Yes, and the parent's point is that companies that end up looking at those people's resumes are going to know that they were not let go because of poor performance. What the parent said.
I'd rather my parents leave me a bundle of cash rather than saddling me with their startup.

Completely depends on the make/model/manufacture date.

Older floppies are actually much better made than newer ones. Disks from 1994 or earlier tend to be better than those made after.

Many floppies are good for 30+ years.
Well, the knowledge gained from the balancing stones might be as impressive as learning the density of earth at the time, but I wonder how hard it would be to explain "ice can evaporate without melting first, and everything is always faintly glowing with a type of warm light that you can't see, and can also cast shadows you can't see..."
The later books punished you rather harshly for having it. I think it was intentional so that people with more "powered up" characters (i.e. had been playing since book 1) were given a bigger challenge.
I mean... if you get your managers "from lots of different entry level areas", then you get exactly what you paid for.

Any tech manager even remotely worth their salt should be able to function as a senior+ IC if necessary. If that skillset is lacking.. maybe you want to rethink your hiring. You'll likely never see the effect of a good manager if you don't.

As for your argument that developer scarcity somehow makes managing worth less - the opposite. If you can hire a single person that can effectively give you 10+ devs without having to hire those 10+ devs, you want to hire that person.

And for the "ICs need better raises, or they turn managers" - uh, no. But you do need to offer parallel development tracks, with comparable advancement opportunities. (In reality, IC & mgr raises should be roughly similar in terms of percentages. If you value managers, at least)
> A process that's far more time consuming than CRISPR. Yet now, there's suddenly no incentive to improve plants unless a corporation can own the results outright for 20 years?

If you are fine with the process being much slower than now, why do you care about 20 years of patent protection? If you’re willing to wait centuries for improvements the modern corporations achieve in years, why not just consider the patent protection period to be extra part of the process? It’s still faster than the millennia you talk about, no?

Being proficient and using it are two different things. A year to learn? What are you talking about, in a year you can get someone who never used a computer beyond a browser to learn just about any commonly used programming language. Yes, they won't be level 99999 one-man-army ninja fullstack senior engineer, but they would be able to write code.

If you had 10 years of java, you can absolutely learn how to write Go in 3 days, unless your 10 years of java is "writing CRUD in Java 6 with libraries available in 2006".
It's not. It's the original headline from Github page.
Pretty much anything is better for 2D than Unreal Engine. But yeah, Godot does a better job with 2D than Unity, and it's much simpler to get started with.

I'd argue the only significant thing it's lacking, an actual practical concern for indie game development, is a good asset store. Saying Godot is useless because it will never have feature parity with UE5 is, of course, extremely silly and not a practical concern for most games.

Police obviously already have access to outstanding warrants. Police should not have access to a victim's rape kit DNA except for use in solving that rape. The reason is that you don't want to discourage rape victims from reporting.
No need for a hierarchy, just a simple rule: if someone goes to the police to report a crime the DNA they provide as part of that process cannot be used against them.

That‘s a very simple rule.
There is no need to be angry. No, I'm not making it up as I go, I'm saying that the human condition in the long term significantly benefits from technological disruption, even if that's not always true in the short-term. I'm not justifying anything either, I'm just telling you what happened.

Now, we cannot suppress technological disruption either, we can regulate and channel it, but you won't be getting your pastoral society back in which everything stays as is for a few thousand years . I think that's good, you Kay think that's bad, but it just is.

It might make some practical sense to have a system that keeps some record of victim DNA. During an investigation and analysis of a sample, victim DNA can be used to rule out sources of unique DNA. It makes yet more sense to sequester victim DNA into another database and have a policy to destroy the data once it's no longer necessary.
I guess I could move the goalposts and readjust the question to be, how many people do we need at the bottom? Is the answer 80% of society? And even then, I think the answer to that question would neglect the emotions and feelings of what it’s like to live a life at the bottom. How long can we, in a capitalist society, really expect 80% of the population to be OK with living what’s best summarizes a pretty shitty life?

In short, a huge number of packaging problems come not from packaging, but from the way you install, configure and call python. Unfortunatly, everybody and their mother tell you how to do this, and you'll find 1000 articles to get you in trouble, but very few to tell you what you should actually do.

The full story is pretty long and most people don't have the time and resources to learn everything about it.

The easiest way is to follow a receipe for the least pain possible, which includes limiting yourself to a single path for bootstrapping python. Here is the one I currently recommend to my teams at the end of the comment:

It can't solve as much as knowing the whole deal, but it will remove a lot of ways to shoot yourself in the foot, and work around a lot of the legacy issues. And above all, it's easy to keep around and to apply. I noticed that anything more complicated will lead to people, so I removed a lot of things from it years after years (like -m, pipx, etc).

Of course, this will not solve the setup that are already in place, which you will likely have. I can't provide a generic way to solve that, there are too many possibilities.

Hopefully the community will eventually solve most of this by providing better default in the future, but this is an excrutiatingly slow process.

Combining the current-ness and expansiveness of current research and journalism with the connectedness and cohesiveness of an encyclopedia is, without a question, a revolutionary product.

But I think when people say that Wikipedia is "accurate" and "reliable", they mean nothing more or less than that it's a faithful rendition of what you'd
get if you grind up a certain set of secondary sources into a slop and bake it
into a homogeneous pie. Within any given article, the mistakes in Wikipedia are
nothing more or less than you would see slip through in a random mainstream
newpaper or academic journal.

Wikipedia feels like a grand unified "view from nowhere". In a scientific
journal, you can speak with a neutral point of view, representing the consensus
of experts in that field. But when your scope is "everything", who are the domain experts? Is it the domain experts for the specific page (who may have fringe views about adjacent topics), or is it the editors who have a shallow consensus about everything, despite not being experts on the page in question?

...and ultimately, why do we take it as a given that this question can be meaningfully resolved?
I don't think you know Sony.

Sony has been making tons of fun games to play with zero loot boxes in the game.

God of War, Last of Us, Uncharted, Spider-Man, Ghost of Tsushima, and Horizon are all top selling videos games in the past few years and all of them contain zero loot boxes.

All of them are highly loved video games as well.

Sony spent the last few decades buying gaming studio to make fun games for them. Almost all of them have nothing to do with loot boxes.
It didn't click for me before until I read it from someone else, but W4 seems to stand for "Waiting For" (Godot). Actually a rather creative name in my opinion. Apologies if you already knew that.
Ok, let me try and understand what happened

Someone bid. Pushed up the price. You didn't pull out. You won the auction. You didn't do any action to deny winning the bid, inaction isn't cancelling BTW. You put a block on your bank for the charge. I'm assuming you didn't communicate with the entity that put up the listing. I'm assuming you just didn't actively deny receiving shipment of the auction win and that you just never picked it up or you got the package and tried to return to sender? I'm also then assuming you then communicated with eBay that you want your banking information removed while you had an outstanding charge on your account because you put a bank block on the charge of the win of the auction... Fast forward a year later and they got fed up with your shit and they just charged you again.

You don't have to make your case to me you just have to put more details in here to actually make it seem like what you said was what happened because there's too many details missing here so I have to make assumptions about your actions in the interim between other actions.
It seems to me that Amazon has the same problem, but with their physical products instead of ads. Cheap junk, fakes, and scams pushed up sales for a while, but then people give up on the site and go to other sources that are perceived to be more reputable.

Mudge isn't a politician, has an excellent reputation, and would probably be much happier if Twitter just had its shit together in the first place so he doesn't have to kick-off a whistlestop tour on the subpoena train.

I noted elsewhere, I fought this battle once. People outside the development team kept saying "it needs more buffers", but they were not looking at the network analyzer, and they weren't looking at the internal states. As buffers became excessive, it started with weird latency bouncing, and it just got worse and worse as you added buffers. We had a network impairment simulator. It was fun to turn that knobs on that and see how that interacted with packet loss buried in your buffer.
I do not agree with your cynicism. You just made an opposite argument - that NATO doesn't really need nuclear weapons to defend against Russia.

I think, if NATO countries (and the U.S.) wanted to, they could make lot more effort to denuclearize. I don't think NATO can institutionally do it, though (it wasn't designed for it). For example, they could propose more aggressive mutual disarmament treaties, that would decrease arsenal in certain proportions on a timeline, with inspections. They don't do that, so I conclude that they don't really want to.

As for the peace - plenty of countries in Europe that are not involved in nuclear weapons and yet enjoy peace. As you said - nuclear countries bully the non-nuclear ones around, therefore, effort should be made to get rid of them completely.
Sorry, it seems I misinterpreted your comment.

>Point is that Russia has no say over Ukraine's ambitions...That Russia must simply accept and move on.

Well, that's the crux of the matter isn't it. They've not accepted it and haven't moved on and unless/until they are expelled from Ukraine they have a rather large amount of influence over what happens there.

It's interesting to watch that's for sure. One way or another the world is going to look different when this is over.
I think they are responding to the assertion that the employer is obligated to keep the employee just because the employee might have absolutely nowhere else to go. Especially in the competitive tech space neither you nor your employer are obligated to maintain your employment relationship.

This is besides Patreon giving their former employees a license to goof off on their dime for 3 months. I can’t imagine anyone at Patreon being so hard up that 3 months pay and insurance to look for new work is enough to break the camels back.
