I used to buy hundreds of physical computer books but I've switched 100% to ebooks.

I noticed that I finished the ebooks more often than physical ones and when I dissected my behavior, I realized that it was the heavy weight (e.g. 3 lbs) of the physical book that nudged me away from reading it. You can't hold a thick computer book in 1 hand. And propping it on your chest while laying down is also uncomfortable. Yes, the K&R C Language book is thin and light but a lot of books are 500+ pages and just too bulky to conveniently carry around and read anywhere.

For the few books that I need a physical reading experience to write notes on, I use the ebook and print one chapter at a time and then staple the pages. That chapter is then thin like a "magazine".

With ebooks, I've loaded the same titles on both the iPad and iPhone and can read a few pages anywhere while waiting in line.
I am curious if roleplay servers would self-moderate better if all characters were hardcore. i.e., lose everything and your character if you die, although not if you're arrested.

I wonder if this would even be possible in GTA.
What do you deactivate? What do you use it for?

With my wear OS watch I love being able to passively track my steps and constantly gauge by blood oxygen level and heart rate and also I guess the increased GPS accuracy is nice even though I don't really go anywhere but I could turn that off if I want to. I also use it to do enhanced sleep tracking. So pretty much every sensor is always going on mine along with the Bluetooth to communicate with the phone. I also have the display always on and the display goes to a low power mode that's always on that turns everything into like one bit black and white. And I leave the display on the lowest brightness when I'm inside and I turn it up I guess to the max when I'm outside.

I get about 2 days of charge before it gets low enough that I gotta plug it in.

If I wanted a watch that was a just a watch I would just buy a watch and not a smartwatch and then disable all of the smart features.
Minecraft having a message reporting system in a publicly playable game run by a game studio, and a team of people who decide what to do with those reports, has nothing to do with "microphones installed in the walls of people's homes."

You've gone from misreprsenting things to suit your worldview (like you did in your initial message claiming "snitchware." Nothing in minecraft's moderation system is automatic - content must be flagged, first, by another user) to wildly unhinged "analogies."
Is it much? I have around 120k emails in my inbox. macOS Mail.app opens it in a jiffy. Computers are supposed to be fast nowadays.
I was curious what her percentage of overlap was between the 17 rejects and 54 accepts (or even the 87 responses) but that was not mentioned.
Yes.

Their tactile and physical nature helps me remember things. They also don't run out of batteries and I write notes in them. I also spend a lot of my day looking at screens, so it's nice to have something which isn't a screen to look at.

I do envy the people who can read ebooks though, it just doesn't work as well for me.
> The issue I have is that we also have different “recording” contexts. These days I can use an app on my phone, a note in my computer or a notepad in a meeting. I have multiple inboxes that have to be routed.

That's the other large point of GTD that apparently you didn't internalize. It's "don't do this". Centralize those contexts into the same storage, if any of them are on paper, store the papers around the computer where you sort things, if all are digital, synchronize the files.

Unifying the inbox adds a lot of value.
My original comment was specifically about in-game chat which is most definitely still part of their game.
I have read the whole Linux book, I knew I wouldn't understand half of it but just reading it is enough, when it comes to need to use some of the cli I know what is possible to do, and so I know what to google for. Once you read a book you won't forget what's in it, it'll come back when you need it.
Isn’t the above the Raumschiffnotizen system?
This is a fun puzzle! Great job.

It took me a minute to figure out the rules, but I was able to with some experimentation. I think the lack of explicit instructions adds to the charm.

There’s lots of other elements you could add to these puzzles to spice them up, eg, wolves that try to eat the rabbits, or streets which are blocked at a certain frequency by cars.

Some feedback:
- needs a reset button! And maybe a sad-rabbit ‘you failed’ notification if you get stuck.
- it already looks good, some cute animations would go a long way if you decide to work on the presentation
- you could make it a little more obvious what moves are available when you pick up a dog/rabbit, the shift from white to blue didn’t always ‘grab’ my eye and sometimes I didn’t notice a move was available. Again, a simple animation would help
- overall I like the minimalism though, so I don’t think you need to go overboard with visual improvements :)
As opposed to the 100% chance of massive, civilization threatening consequences if we do nothing?

The contrast is illuminating.
Teslas Hackers Have Found Another Unauthorized Access Vulnerability
Between young impressionable children and vulnerable teenagers being groomed into mutilating their bodies or being "groomed" into a le funny epic hitler meme phase (which they soon grow out of in a few years), it should be quite obvious what the lesser evil is
There is this:

systemctl --host=whatever.abc status apache2

It uses ssh and UNIX domain socket forwarding behind the scenes. There's a writeup of how to do this with minimal privs here:

https://sleeplessbeastie.eu/2021/03/03/how-to-manage-systemd...

If you want to speak the protocol without the systemctl program then you can do the same trick. Use an SSH library, connect to the dbus socket and connect to systemd. You do need a dbus library though. They are less common than HTTP stacks.
Since it's almost one year old? Has it paid off? Was there a noticeable betterment?
I truly can't think of a more fundamental element of a democratic system than who is enfranchised, and there have been two or three enormous changes in the answer to that since the founding.
As someone who played gta online a lot, here’s some thoughts:

- the behavior of npcs is way more complex here. They’re not just running off scared. The ones at the registers have a way more complex animation than the current gen game.

- the cops seem to have a more refined line of sight and search pattern. They don’t just come at you.

- there is way more use of interiors here, in the current gen there are very few interiors other than instanced garages and stuff.

Nothing else really stood out but it’s clear that even if the graphics are not updated they’ll still have plenty of improvements to gameplay mechanics and world depth.
Why can't they just use normal English language for contracts? How did it get to be this way?
I feel a market gap for a software. :D
Wow, no I didn't! I bet that is quite the story. Surprising that New York would be an improvement. It seems like the relatively short growing season would be limiting.
This is how fleet on CoreOS was designed. It just managed systemd containers across your nodes (IIRC its been a while)
How is that any different than biblical names like John or Abe?
Before a knee jerk response of unconscious bias, which I’m in no way denying, it is more important to know how this research was conducted. What about the publications and references? It’s not like the job is flipping burgers - postdoctoral positions are extremely specific and people tend to know each other within a couple of hops on their social network.
It seems like there really needs to be an alternative that uses more available hardware.
Are you suggesting that you cannot actually make any decision, only your decision-making part of your brain can ? ;)

Also, I think that one of our mistakes was to not require limits on the duration of a company (because they used to be shut down once their goal was accomplished?). In comparison, even the richest human has a well-limited lifespan...

I usually read hn on the loo (not a shitpost pun/joke) as idle reading, and sometimes I discover interesting products or news. Aside: it feels like being on the toilet is the most "me time" I get lately, so maybe I should change that lol.

Do you read the book first start to finish, and then add it to your bathroom library after for this random reading, or do you go straight to random loo reads?
Free market means voluntary exchanges. This sort of operation fits in perfectly with that.

Socialism is the government providing goods and services, which requires coercion.
Sure, we can give the benefit of the doubt that most were unconscious about it. But the scale of difference in the response rate means that we also can't rule out that there were a minority who rejected him because they are basically racist.
Zuckerberg said so in an interview. Google it and you can see the video. The FBI did not deny it, so safe to say it's true.
I don't assess the value of an image of triangles to be $8. That's all.
bold of you to assume i ever bought them to begin with.
Yeah I don't even bother with the built in "smarts". Turn off wifi and bluetooth, don't plug in ethernet, and hook up a decent streaming box like an Apple TV or Shield. With that, it doesn't matter how outdated the TV's software is.
I remember the days of burning all sorts of updates for software to cd or DVD
Do they not check the actual publication record? It shouldn't have worked at all with a fake name.
It's actually worse still. ALL of the 17 responses to the real name were negative if you read what he actually posted. That's an infinite increase. NOT 5x.
> All of Europe's democracies exist because of the US role in WW2.

Can you explain what you mean by this? Continental Europe's relationship with republicanism and democracy dates back to the same roots as what spawned the ideas that led to the US's formation, and that is the European Enlightenment.

There was a similar post a few days ago where someone did this but instead of changing their name they changed their gender (female names got significantly more responses).
That post got flagged and this post is in the frontpage.
Interesting.
When two of something are on the same tile, I think you need a different image - or to add some kind of stacking visual or something
I usually buy both an e-book and a paper version of books I want to learn from. Most of my reading is done on the paper one. I like to re-read certain chapters or sections at really random times and places so that's where the e-book comes in. It's a more pricey scheme but I find it really helpful for me.
A workaround does not necessitate tech debt. "Workaround" is a conflated term - it basically implies something works differently than one might expect, which is subjective. Anyway, what is the alternative? Saying "that's not my problem"? Users don't care about who is technically at fault, they care about a well functioning product.
That's the whole point -- this is for the peasants.
Wouldn't that in all cases benefit the real CV over the fake one? (because if you started to look up the fake person you'd find less useful results than for the real name, which would turn up real publications)
I personally enjoy physical books more and I feel I learn better as well.

So the answer is almost always yes, unless I borrow them.
So they favored the made up person?
I'd agree, and also point out that Half Life 2 was far more damaging. This is a bunch of tech development demos and trials, there's little to no story spoilers. Whereas HL2's leak contained levels and story elements that appeared in the final game. It was unfinished/alpha, but really showed what HL2 would eventually be, whereas this just shows some of the technology that GTA VI may contain.

I don't even read too much into the diner scenario, since that's a great test-bed for interactive NPC behavior, object interactions, and general scenario creation tooling. It MIGHT be in the final game, but it may also not be, and it wouldn't be impactful either way.
I just this week bought "Designing Data-Intensive Applications" by Martin Kleppmann.
At which point is it better to just write a new constitution? 100 amendments? 500? Or never?
That would change the original comment to THIRD dumbest.
Except that I don't agree those features are only available on a Blockchain.

You get the benefits in exact proportion to how much you invest in it.

Yes. And if they used the money unwisely, they're responsible for the results. The point is, they got the money, and were able to invest it.

The same thing happens to wealthier people - if they invest the money unwisely, they lose it.
I applaud the MiSTer Project for their brilliant work. I'd even be interested in buying something like it. But the most complex console it can emulate is a ps1 and that can be emulated perfectly fine in software. I wish most 5th gen/6th gen consoles were in reach to emulated with it. But alas that's out of the question and even software emulation is still far from great for most of these consoles and require beefy hardware...
There's a plugin that adds support for txt files: https://github.com/deathau/txt-as-md-obsidian
The GP’s sentiment is common in the comments. I absolutely understand the gut reaction–regional Eastern specialties are rarely presented with the warmth and openness that this article has. I feel like stepping around “Japanese” as a cultural description in this case would only serve to isolate the community in the reader’s mind. As the article says, there is more to Japanese cuisine than seafood. Why should this tradition not be included?
I have switched to ebooks, given the rate as technical books get out of date, no need to keep killing trees for information that is outdated after one year.

Only for non technical books do I still go for paper.
Clever! I like a good discovery like this!

Rather than infinite storage, I’d be interested in using it for just the occasional file transfer.

I still hate how hard it is to transfer files between two devices in 2022
I have a 2020 model I bought from Costco and as slow and shitty the UI is it also still burns 16W in standby.

There isn't a way to disable Chromecast either so thanks for nothing Sony and Google.

I need a dumb tv and Nvidia sheild.

Edit: I take the standby power usage part back. After settings changes including Eco stuff and something to do with remote start and a restart it's at 4W which is very acceptable.

The UI inexcusably still sucks though.
Why would you think Moore's law is over?
They don't. Moderators can only receive reports from Realms and featured servers.

If you get banned for bad behavior on those servers, then yes, you get banned from minecraft, period.
I think it's pretty much all open world games. As wide as the ocean but as deep as a puddle. Outside of the pre-scripted story you have basically no impact on the world as the player.
The "founding fathers" had a diverse set of beliefs, you can pick and choose to support a variety of diametrically opposed points of view.

Consider for instance John Jay, who thought that Christian rulers guided by Christian principles were necessary to maintain order and freedom, and thought the Republic would be doomed if it ever forgot this. A far cry from Jefferson's deism.
Audio amplifiers, especially old ones, can easily draw 100 watts when on 'standby' - ie. the amplifier is turned on but playing no sound.
In which way is it becoming harder to use? The smart TV part of it?
I could say the same for southerners and Christians my friend. It’s not fair to treat individuals like they all conform to whatever you think their home culture is, though. I personally know several southerners and Christians who aren’t dickheads, for example.
At the stage of shortlisting for the interview, a lot of people don't actually go out and check the paper, they just register it is published in a good journal, they might do a deep dive when preparing for the interview if at all.

Especially in a field like plant biology, papers probably have many authors, so even if you check the paper you might not pay attention to the author list (or he could have chosen a name that looks like one of the co-authors in some of his papers?)
> Moderation only applies to Realms and featured servers.

I don't think this is true. In particular, note that it's useful to install https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/no-chat-reports on regular servers.
The post is short so I don’t want to read too much into the authors intentions, but it seems like their logic may be suffering from a blind spot - that patterns and systems that look like unnecessary complexity from the outside might actually be in service of simplifying the use of those notes for the writer.

You can’t just look at a system you don’t understand and deem it too complicated. You’d need some objective measure of how efficient and effective a note taking system is at doing its job - e.g., the speed a user can later find a particular note, or the success rate the user might have at querying their database of notes and getting back a quality answer.

New Linux brightness uAPI replacing /sys/class/backlight [pdf]
I remember the days of going down to my friends store because he had a modem and knew which BBSes would have software downloads. I had to bring my own floppy disk because those things cost money.
Whoa. I'd never dived into the whole hardware key thing because I never felt like I needed it -- except one (AND ONLY ONE) of my 2FA deals requires a specific app (i.e. they won't give you your generating token, you have to use Duo Mobile or a device).

As I'm seeing it, "virtual-fido" will let me fake a hardware device and get me so that I only need the laptop for 2FA? Gotta look into this.
'standby' for many devices used to mean 'leave all the electronics powered up, but turn the screen/sound off'.
While I feel the same way towards point 2, I actually find it easier to follow along on a monitor. Sure, it requires a big monitor to display both the doc and the ide/editor, and possibly even the output (say the browser if it's a web framework).
Admittedly it is not solving all cases but for me it helps in seveal case. We have a simple stereo configuration though.
I dabbled with GTD in the late 00s/early 10s. This coincided with growing the team at my startup and generally needing to keep more balls in the air from a management perspective. I even used OmniFocus for a while. But as I moved into larger companies where efficient collaboration is the limiting function, I realized that my personal productivity system is not where the value is.

Essentially as a leader in a larger engineering org, the productivity systems that generate more value are the ones that are shared. Even though I can't control them directly I can create more value by A) getting onboard with the way that collaborating teams want to work and B) influencing people and nudging these systems in the direction that makes sense based on my expertise. This often feels like herding cats, but it's a core job of a manager. In addition, all software workers, whether manager or IC, need space for deep freeform thinking. It's imperative that whatever systems we use not come in the way of this.

With this in mind, my personal system has to be lightweight and flexible so that it minimizes overhead and doesn't impose any constraints on how I am working with others. To that end, I've largely reduced to using Workflowy for all tasks / notes / plans. I do this in a reverse chronological style w/ regular chunked archiving. I also star every "important" email thread and bookmark every relevant doc or page that comes across my desk. In this manner I can go back and search history comprehensively as needed, but my working space for any given project or domain is always small and generally fits above the fold in the Workflowy context. There are a few little tactical hacks I use (eg. #action hashtag for todos), but those are ephemeral and I will discard or change them whenever it suits me. The key thing overall is that the system requires less than an hour a week of maintenance and is a single source of truth for my personal focus.
Plausable if someone has a bad reputation
i wonder what percentage of shareholders vote and how many shares you need to practically influence a company direction.
> That said, right-click > save as image is supposed to be disabled on that particular DOM element, but I'm guessing you probably have an extension or user-script that re-enables it.

FYI, even without an extension, you can bypass it being disabled by holding down the shift key while right-clicking (at least in Firefox).
I doubt it's so UNconscious. I know enough people that would straight up filter any muslim out from working with them.
Is this why snaps don't include man pages? Because that's a damn shame.
I still have my Palm V, and I still keep it charged, all these years later, I've never let the battery fully die.

It works fine.
Sure, but does the improved speed increase learning and retention speed? There's additional time spent to learn and master cursive. If that's the only purpose, would that time be better spent elsewhere?

From the Boomers, Gen-X, and Millennials I know who were taught cursive in school very few use it for note-taking. It seems like a huge waste if the only reason for teaching it has failed multiple generations already.
You keep using more and more words to describe the same thing. Again, "antiracism" is oriented monotonically against whites. You won't contest that because if whites ever benefited from it then it would defeat your purpose.

Whether their policy was directly effective toward that end or just another layer of obtuse bureaucratic process like you describe, Twilio is signalling that they applied antiwhite ideology to their employment decisions.
Yes, which is also a regressive tax.
100% agreed. Would be interesting to see how an application by Muhammad with a Penn State degree compares to a John with an Oral Robert’s degree when applying to a neutral institution.
I agree completely. I'd like to expand on your #1. I think that physical books make it much easier to have multiple books all open on your desk as you look between all of them, and also to have bookmarks within a single book that you flip between.

As you say, I love ebooks for fiction. But the folks building these apps and devices still haven't hit on an interaction model that works well for non-fiction.
Personally, I would never run a linter of any kind on a full codebase that doesn't have tests. After having been bitten by all kinds of bugs over the years, I wouldn't suggest auto-linting any file that you aren't actively working on.

It's rare that linting will actually make the code work better. Granted, it could catch some security bugs. But they can - and will - introduce new bugs. You just have to ask if it's worth the risk.
I would also like to mention FlareSolverr [1] here, which just uses a headless browser to solve the challenges, which might be acceptable in some situations (that don't need high request rate)
