The extension estimates the "true" dislike count based on the like/dislikes it has in its database. E.g. if the database contains 100 dislikes and 900 likes, but the video has a million views, it'll estimate 1000 dislikes. I'm sure there's some cleverness in there for videos where it doesn't have a tonne of information yet.

> To whom are Dharmic religions bleeding followers? Other religions or ireligion? Is conversion happening between the Dharmic religions? Any idea about percentages related to conversions?

Mostly to Abrahamic religions. For Christianity at least you can check the Joshua Project where they have complete statistics of souls harvested: https://joshuaproject.net/countries/IN

You can sort by "Progress Scale" to see the rate of conversions.

> Is conversion happening between the Dharmic religions?

Yes this also happens regularly where Hindus convert to Buddhism and vice-versa. No statistics for this unfortunately.

> ireligion

I don't know the statistics about how many are atheists/agnostic. However, they don't face any discrimination for their viewpoints and many identify themselves as Hindu too (as the word Hindu is not just used as a Religious construct but also to signify culture you belong to). Many even take part in Religious festivities (however odd it might sound to you) as for them it is more a celebration/festival/communal gathering than accepting existence of a Creator/Deity. That flexibility has always been there since Ancient times.

Yeah let's ban everything that's vaguely dangerous.
My point is that of course once they are here you care for them, would miss them if they are gone, etc. etc. They are living beings, so of course ROI calculations no longer apply - you just want to do what's in your power for them to be happy, reduce their suffering etc.

However, before you are in that situation, ROI calculations absolutely do apply. To give you an example - most people on HN that have children probably have 1-3 of them - and that's about as many as they wanted to have. But if you somehow happened to already have 10 children, would you then be selling 7-9 of them (or indeed any) to the circus? Of course not. You would love them, care for them and do the best you can, and you would miss each of them dearly if they were gone.

And yet, given any degree of control over the situation, you would probably try not to have so many. Why not? Because of some calculation - let's call it the ROI calculation. It is precisely the same calculation that keeps you from having 10 children that keeps others from having any children at all.
From the build.sh I figured out that all it takes is to compile with the wasm target, I think:

"--model large" option produces much better results at higher resources consuming costs
> Steam is surprisingly good at offering refunds.

Had the opposite experience after a game stopped working 3 days after purchase due to its update (forced, if memory serves). Valve refused the refund because I played the game for more than 2 hours before it stopped working. Haven't purchased anything from Valve since.

I like the book as well. But I think it suffers a bit too much from technooptimism for answering the question "how to avoid a climate disaster". I appreciate Bill Gates's optimism, but it's a dangerous gamble to only talk about technical solutions and leave societal and cultural aspects off the table. With that in mind: It's still a very good book.
Problem with videos is I have no idea how long someone has been playing the game. With Steam I can see the user has put in 400 hours or something so I can be fairly certain they have experience most of what the game has to offer.

Also for older games, sometimes you get people playing for 1000+ hours who says that the game turned to shit 3 months ago and you'd never get that just watching a gameplay video that came out a few months after the game was released.

Steam reviews also track over time, again, videos don't. I watch videos for new games and use them with Steam reviews to see if I'd like a game or not, but for old games the reviews are much easier to get a clear picture of what the game is like the day I'm planning on buying it.
Thank you. I can’t wait to try this out. In the meantime, I’m at a loss for words…
They only added the refund policy because they were breaking consumer rights in some counties and they even got fined by Australia for it. It's funny that people think they did it out of care for the customer.
> True in a data center. Not true for many people.

Even the cheapest laptop you can buy today has literally 1,000x the disk space of a 1990's tower PC. The packaging format APT was developed in the late 1990s when the average user's modem speed was unlikely to hit 56kbps.

Times have changed. Time to update the way we package software.

I have been running btrfs at home with no losses. Mostly single, raid1 in a server. Array has been up ~4 years. While I doubt your comment that it will "likely lose your data", I am curious to know when (approximate kernel version/year) and how your losses occurred. There was clearly a history of data loss bugs, but it seems a little unfair to malign the system today after heaps of engineering went into stabilizing the filesystem.

Depends on what the journey looks like. If you're dead set on becoming a software developer it's a great and solid introduction to programming and computing.

But if you're not, I'd recommend resources targeting more popular and lower friction languages than scheme such as JavaScript.

Of course I have this running though it's still running older version (been too busy with developing this). It has been running over half a year for my scrapers without a single interruption even though the machine has the worst specs available. I have tested this with Linux/Unix and Windows at least. Of course, I have gotten message from various people saying they are using it. Some have said they migrated from Celery or other alternatives as they found Rocketry more suitable for their needs.

And that's true: it's 100% Python and basically there is a main loop that checks starting conditions of tasks (and some other things) and if a task's starting condition is reached, the task is run. Tasks can be executed synchronously by setting execution as "main" or concurrently with async, threading or multiprocessing. Maybe in the future with another interpreter as well. The main loop is left running in background.

So in short, it's a Python that's constantly loop running. It sleeps defined amount of time after checking a set of tasks to lower the resource consumption but you can also create a task with execution as "main" and do sophisticated sleep like "sleep more when CPU usage is X%" or estimate the time when the next task should start from the tasks' conditions.

And thanks for the positive comment!
General purpose computing (and particularly Free Software) is about empowering users, not developers. This quickly becomes important when interests misalign, for example when developers want to push incompatible update to users and stop supporting previous version, or the upstream simply vanishes and stop providing security updates. Why is it OK for developers to "manage dependencies" (pin older versions of libraries) and somehow not for the end user agents (distros) to "manage" their dependencies (i.e. apps)?

Moreover, why shouldn't we empower libraries' developers to push their versions as they want? They also have limited manpower and support capabilities.
Actually the massive efficiency of the current world depends on lots of people. Reducing populations will result in less efficiency.

Instead we should be trying to grow populations as we're headed for a demographic collapse requiring extremely high taxation of the young to care for the old. It's a slow moving disaster.
The question ultimately is: how do you create an ecosystem which fairly compensates and doesn't brutally overwork game staff? Relying purely on game sales is difficult. Games are expensive to produce and gamers, sans whales, are generally quite price sensitive. Gamers are also a famously tough crowd to please. Indie game economics work by saving costs on production, either by keeping art simple so many fewer artists are required or otherwise constraining the game space. Even then, the majority of indie games flop. I don't have an answer, but everywhere I've looked in the games industry, margins are razor thin.
There are lots of other examples too; see the awful red dwarf US pilot with jane leeves as holly

> massively increase the maintenance burden

The maintenance burden for who? Using isolated apps (Assuming that no-shared-libraries is what we want, which is probably true for desktop systems like and less true for security critical systems or "traditional" linux systems) just places the maintenance burden on the apps where it belongs. Yes, unmaintained apps should run out-of-date libraries.
The problem is that containers are opaque and authors simply don't care about quality. If say, fedora would allow containers by having deviating Versions of rpms per app, it would be quite cool. The OS could inform me about apps using deprecated Versions, dependencies could be shared, etc. But people don't want to put up much effort when shipping their app. They want to build on some version of Ubuntu, add some manual hacks and expect everyone to use that container for the next decade or so. No one cares about dependencies, security or other nonfunctional aspects, sadly.
I find it awesome they couldn't recast Moss. Nobody else can be Moss.
Most frustrating for me is that I receive no call notifications. Well, sometimes I do, but most of the time I do not and I need to wait until a call has been missed before I see who’s called. Unless I happen to be in the chat window of the person who’s calling…then I can see the “join call” button active.

It’s maddening and IT can’t solve it properly, and I’m not the only one at my company having this issue.

Utter garbage app and user experience.

Edit: even worse is if I’m being called into an existing group call…there’s no way to accept.
I petition that the most pertinent predictions from the 70s came with works such as 'Future shock': there is "too much change in too short a period of time" ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Future_Shock ) and the "small is beautiful" motto, which were inherited from a more generic analysis published by L. Kohr ~20 years before ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leopold_Kohr#Philosophy )

In a few words: there is too much of everything (size, density, speed, frequency...): no human group can anymore understand the current state of affairs quickly and correctly enough to be able to predict and therefore to plan adequately.

In such a light the PLAN proposed by the authors may difficult to pursue.

UX is garbage on Teams. Specially for chat compared to something like Slack.
Video calls, I can live with it even though I prefer Zoom and Google Meet over Teams.

If a company uses Teams for anything more than video call, to me it's a sign that they don't care about productivity of their employees.
I'm not sure that's a completely fair characterisation, they definitely have an overwhelming market share but competitors such as GOG, Epic, Uplay, Origin do exist and often interoperate with Steam. And while publishers/developers will go to Steam because that's where most customers are I'm not aware of any Steam store policy/rule that says games can't be simultaneously sold through other marketplaces

Usurious debt enables explosive economic growth, no question about that. However in my opinion it is more just to have an economy that steadily grows over time rather than a boom and bust cycle which causes horrendous and frankly distressing situations to a large part of the most vulnerable people in society. Heck, even the middle class is affected as quality of life goes down as well.
Rather ridiculous premise based on the idea that we won't be working in offices anymore. A trend from covid that's rapidly reversing right now.

Yet another article arguing against distribution package managers without understanding them a bit.

Traditional packaging is perfectly suitable for modern applications.

What author is arguing against is the distributions' packaging policies. Distribution policies are what prevents shipping multiple versions of the same library or program, not package managers. These policies are in place because they're necessary for releasing and maintaining a 50000 package distribution.

But for shipping your own software you're free to ignore distribution policies. Package managers have always provided the necessary mechanism. Nothing is preventing you from shoving in all library, binary or data dependencies your program needs into a deb package. You're also free to embed version number in package name and installation paths so different versions could be installed in parallel. The package manager will obey dutifully. Build systems have always been capable of installing libraries into arbitrary paths, and deb/rpm packages are just dumb archive files with metadata slapped on top. If you shove everything needed into it and declare no dependencies, it'll be no different than a dumb tar file and it'll work just fine if you did it right.

You can even imitate flatpak runtimes if you want. Put same things a flatpak runtime has into /usr/lib/freedesktop-sdk-21.08 into a package like freedesktop-sdk-2108.deb, and make your application deb depend on freedesktop-sdk-2108 and you're good to go.

I'm really tired hearing of these baseless arguments over and over over the years. I just wish everyone could be honest and just say "We don't like deb/rpm, they're not cool, they're not hip, we just want to NIH them" so we could be spared of these made up justifications.

P.S. I have nothing against nix. Nix is legit innovation.

This seems to be regularly suggested here. And the general target seems to be the poor, because then you can tell people they need to kill the poor or become poor themselves. So it's a simple case of them or us.

Literally the same argument that Hitler made:

> The Nazi Generalplan Ost policy ('Master Plan for the East') was based on its tenets. It stipulated that Germany required a Lebensraum necessary for its survival and that most of the indigenous populations of Central and Eastern Europe would have to be removed permanently (either through mass deportation to Siberia, extermination, or enslavement) including Polish, Ukrainian, Russian, Czech and other Slavic nations considered non-Aryan.

> The Bible is not exactly .. readable?

I can appreciate why people might say this, but modern translations are not that hard, and large parts are narrative and relatively straightforward. Probably a bit of an explainer is helpful, just like any other major work of literature.

As to whether OP would find it worthwhile reading, that obviously depends. But as others point out it is the most important book in shaping Western civilization as we know it...so there is probably some value.

On that subject Luc Ferry's Brief History of Thought has perspectives on several major thought streams. I don't know how accessible it is, but when I read it a few years ago, I found it reasonable, and I don't know much about philosophy.
I aree it is a lot of work but you set this one once and the kernel can be loaded at boot time.

I wouldn't do that for general visio conferencing as sound is much more important than video but for someone producing video content it is definitely worth it.

With the way things are going, the easiest route will likely be to wait for summer in a few years time, and to do it whilst it’s dry. It has dropped to record low levels several times in the last few years, revealing much of the absolutely tortured pothole-ridden geology beneath, and the drainage which feeds it is failing to get replenished year on year.
If debt was not so widespread, then the cost of assets would be correlated to salary.

Are Steam reviews any different than Amazon or Airbnb reviews? I never trust reviews on the same platform that has an incentive to sell me something.
Biggest win I see here is the native support for async methods. Celery, the default option for most, does not support it and there are only hacky ways to make async work.

I had my issues with Steam, but lately a new one come up, I have an old laptop with Steam and Half Life installed on it, so when we had do go on vacation my son wanted to take the old laptop to play some Half Life if bored, but Steam decided to upgrade and fuck itself, then I discovered that Steam Client uses Chrome and the client is no longer compatible with the OS on the old laptop.

I did not had the tiem to screw around with cracks or some way to find an old client, fuck Valve, if your new client is not compatible with the OS then fucking stop update it, or make it possible for someone to continue playing the game, maybe a super simple Launcher that does not need Chrome.

I wanted to try Stadia. My Google account hails from 2004, when GMail first came out. I am in good standing, and consume a lot of Google services, many of which I pay for.

Stadia would just not accept any credit card I threw at them, including a virtual card I created specifically for this service after the other ones failed. It also even refused those which Google happily uses to charge me for my GWS and YouTube Premium.

It was not a geolocation thing - Stadia happily serviced a neighbour.

Under these circumstances, I gave up. If you make it hard for me to give you money, I simply won't.

Shitty sounding? Have you used minidisc? I honestly can’t tell the difference between CD and minidisc. I’ve even got a marantz cd/md combo that rips cds to MDs. I can play the sound sound back to back in both formats on this unit and I can’t hear the difference. This is on my Yamaha NS-200 monitors in my nice sounding room.

Mini disc sounds nothing like cassette but it has a lot of the good features like re-recording and even digital management of the tracks which is better than cassette or cd. I even have an MD head unit in my car!

I record a lot of stuff in mono as I usually don’t care for the stereo most of the time.

Yes it’s way too expensive. But I’ve got 22 year old discs that still work. It’s paying off in the long run for me.

The only issue I have is that it’s getting harder to find the gear
