Boredom. When I was young, new games were a big deal. You went months or years without them. We eventually found things like Runescape and these proved to be addictive but they were kind of a boring timesink; a poorly tuned skinner box. So, you had time, you had what you had and people made mods and cool stuff because you work with what you've got. I learned image editing and 3D modeling this way. Now, many games like Fortnite and Genshin Impact are just straight up decent experiences for free. I have consistently marvelled how if you're on the Epic Games Store, you just get decent large games for absolutely free every few weeks. I have over 60 now. This would have probably ruined my childhood life.

Touched on above: open systems that allowed modding like Jedi Knight 2 MP, or custom content, like Warcraft 3 custom maps, which did not survive the transition to a meaner, newer Blizzard corporation.

Also lost, I think, is charm in interfaces/the medium. As it's less and less remarkable that game UIs exist, there is increasing emphasis on getting them out of the way. Cute skeumorphic designs are not so common now.

On that same note, quirks. Age of Mythology included a miniature encyclopedia for every unit in the game, including for chickens. I read this a lot, as I had time and not a lot going on.
From your link it mentions to use water “without any fluoride added after purification treatment. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires the label to indicate when fluoride is added.” The water I’m referring to is exactly the kind of water the CDC recommends against using, yet that is not at all obvious from the label. IIRC it is sold right next to the infant formula implying it should be used.

Again, what purpose does it serve? Babies and toddlers don’t have their adult teeth so it is irrelevant for dental health at that age.
There were two reasons for it, because odysee is odysee

> If you don't like DeSantis and want him voted out, please just say that

No, I want him voted out because of specific actions and I also want every politician inclined to take those specific actions voted out. I don't hate him because he's a Republican, I don't hate him because he's a straight white Christian man, I don't hate him because he's from Florida, I don't hate him. I hate the actions that he's performed (funny thing about that MLK quote; some people just cannot tolerate being judged by the contents of their character).

To pretend that the people behind these "school-board driven" actions are not motivated by, encouraged by, and supportive of DeSantis is completely ludicrous. Anti-LGBT activists are clamoring to join school boards around the country, looking to effect the same policies.
The problem isn't really on the serving side, it's on the mirroring side. Trying to mirror PyPI - at its current 13.4 TB size[1] - and bringing all those terabytes into a restricted network with security policies and no access to the internet, is impossible. Partial mirror is the only way to go for such a use case, and given that Morgan automatically resolves and mirrors dependencies, adding new dependency shouldn't break anything.

I would pick the unholy abomination that is ExplorerMetroUWP in Windows 10/11 over GNOME any day of the week. GNOME is nigh unusable other than as an expensive piece of wall decor.
School/Uni burns people out on learning stuff. They finish that then want to do other things, which may not involve learning something new.

But also plenty of people have anxieties about their livelihood these days thanks to wages, the economy, and the state of the world. It might be baffling because you lack perspective on that front by not having a shit life!
WhatsApp is end to end encrypted, but it can still detect what you are typing and can use that info to target you. It just can’t detect anything once you click send.
The older and more experienced I get, the less I trust my gut. My intuition is wrong the majority of the time.

I suspect this also applies to most other people, if they're really being honest about it.

Not always, the N64 was more powerful and more expensive (Game carts) than the competition. So was the GameCube (It was more powerful than the PS2).
If Braintree doesn't have the resources, it's Paypal's fault since they acquired them.

I use Stripe for my SaaS, and I'm also thinking of accepting crypto with Bitpay. Users have requested using Paypal, but given Paypal's recent account bans [1] I won't be considering it.

It's defensive in comparison to your initial diatribe. You equated them to IBM. Maybe they will be IBM in 10 years if things don't improve, but for now they are pretty far from it.

Not sure what misdirection you are referring to. Your reply right here primarily talks about how they haven't met your expectation. That's very different from declaring a company is on the verge of becoming a dinosaur.

> The natural endpoint is that there are so many ads people just leave the platform.

Assuming that no one on google is looking at their viewership data and don't notice the "leaving". If that happens I'm sure they days as a notoriously data driven company is over and they will in fact die on all fronts. But for now they still show signs of experimenting, however minor, in all the major products they have.

> It's common practice to append reddit to Google searches to find what you want. That shouldn't happen either.

This is for a extremely specific query type. I do it only when I am looking for people's opinions on certain things, and is certainly not something I do every day. I know lots of others who don't do this either, especially the millions of non reddit users.

> Aws and azure shouldn't be stronger than Google is, and it's a sign they aren't able to compete.

Yea, primarily because GCP has the worst corporate sales team. AWS and Azure routinely do conferences and meet and greets with dev communities and are constantly pushing their product. Azure especially. I would squarely put the fault there rather than the product itself. GCP has a significantly cleaner interface than AWS and can do almost anything AWS/Azure can do. Other than the "specialty" products of course.
It's not verboten. But, candidly, it is kind of rude. What's the difference between someone at, say, the EFF "proving" something happened by running an experiment and writing about it publicly, and someone on Hacker News doing the same?
I'd say that only really started in the 7th console generation (Wii, PS3, Xbox 360)

Gamecube and prior was roughly comparable to the competition, but after that the other companies were trying to outperform each other in graphical fidelity while Nintendo released basically another Gamecube but with motion controls. And it was a hit!
Just imagine, a spredsheet for every resource definition...

Yes I can see it, I would not want to work with this at all and when management realises all they have to do is play with the spreadsheet, the dream crumbles just as quick as it came to be :D
It's probably worse for poor people, that already deal with the extra cognitive load on every other pricing...

But it's also probably best for poor people, that will optimize their usage and get better deals out of it.
Can’t reply to your latest so piggybacking here to add a note that searching for info on this stuff will surface a whole mess of recent Q Anon style sites if you don’t carefully craft your search queries.

Most mainstream coverage on domestic intelligence overreach is from the 2005-2012 era; there’s almost a tangible brick wall in the middle of the Obama years where mainstream coverage of this sort of thing switches from being critical-by-default to being just shy of a press release (a good example is the SAFE HOME link in my other comment).
Sorry, what I meant was, what if the GPU and the motherboard fused into one unit. So the CPU and main memory in but the card is fixed.

I guess the main problem with that we have this cycle where most people have a single graphics card with one or two monitors plugged in, and the power users have two of them to drive four screens, or to have 2 cards drive one monitor by daisy chaining them together.

But in the case of the latter two, it's usually a problem of a bottleneck between the card and the main bus, which of course if you were making the motherboard, you'd have a lot more say in how that is constructed.
No, you have the option, disabled by default, to enable backup encryption. And there are two ways to enable it, one with a short password that when used Meta can always unencrypt the backup themselves and another with a 64 digit key, which AFAIK is unaudited.
I'll be very surprised if this ends well for Putin
When they say that only "you" have access to read the encrypted message (at the end) could they be being disingenuous with that interpretation?

Take this scenario for example:

1. E2E is not broken in anyway by Meta/Whatsapp. In this scenario only both WhatsApp clients (and thus you and the other person) have access to the messages. This is required for you to even read the messages in the first place.

2. The WhatsApp local instance is running on YOUR device under YOUR username / digital identity. From a legal perspective is it possible that since the app is running under your username that it is also considered "you" ?

3. If number 2 is true then it might give the local WhatsApp instance legal shield to read and do anything it wishes (locally) with the message content. And then of course this could be sent separately back to Meta/Whatsapp in a very small format easily mixed in with other traffic.
The British people basically divide into 2 groups: productive younger (<40) workers who are getting fucked in every imaginable way, and older entitled idiots. Sooner or later the older ones will die out, and the idiots will always be there but won't have a majority anymore.

Only the second group give a shit about nationalism and voted for Brexit (and only because they knew THEY would not pay for it). The other half of us not only don't care, but certainly don't see why we should pay for it.

God I wish I was young enough to emigrate easily.
I wouldn't label him a by-and-large sociopath, but Steve Jobs certainly exhibited sociopathic behavior. Especially earlier in his career, Jobs was known for his lack of empathy towards his coworkers and being difficult to work with.
Yes, indeed greedy..

Exactly! False dichotomy.
> Remote work is all the perks I'll ever want or need. Maybe tech companies should hire more suburban moms.

TBH, as a hiring manager outside of a FAANG, "mid-career parents who want to work remotely" is really the sweet spot for me.

I can't offer enough compensation to compete with FAANGs for new graduates of elite universities, so I have to look at lower tier institutions. That's not to say they're bad or anything... I and many of my best employees dropped out of state schools. But generally, the ceiling is lower, and identifying a new graduate's value is really hard.

And because I'm at a tech company which is not in a super exciting tech hub, I have to be exceptionally remote friendly to land good candidates.

But the thing is: there are tons of employees out there who are smart, get things done, and want to clock out for the day with enough time to cook dinner and play with their kids. We've even hired a few ex-Amazon/Googler's who left because the pay was great but they wanted to have a family.

I selfishly find myself hoping that remote work isn't embraced by those places, or else I'll lose my hiring edge.
If the price changes are large enough, you can just buy an extra board and have them at the best half of the time.
Don't forget that the petrol, methane or coal that powered your car, or even the construction of your car, released net-new carbon.

Brake pads and tire wear against shoe tread. I think the shoe treads are less polluting per unit mass, but I don't get 30,000 miles from my walking shoes either.

What's the carbon and pollution footprint of getting that gallon of petrol to my car? Or the amortized cost of getting 10KW-H into my car battery?

Good to think holistically, but there's a long way to go. The city bus or light rail is looking better.
That's super fucking rad... though I assume there's a hardware override? There are a few hundred open issues on the firmware repo.
Give me strength.
It has to do with what protocol they are using to communicate with the server/cloud/whatever. If they are using HTTP/S (hyper text transfer protocol) then it is web/www. Otherwise, it is some other protocol. For example, email (technically) uses SMTP (simple message transfer protocol).

However, all of these run on top of the Internet Protocol (IP). So, everything is internet, but not everything on the internet is http.

Apps are almost certainly using HTTP under the hood to communicate with their servers, so technically they are a part of the web, which is a part of the internet.
I'm endlessly dazzled by the elegance of the 'unix principles'. There is no question anything developed today would be much more complicated.

Still, leaving the linux shell largely for 15 years and coming back to it, I can do basic things - without reading an instruction manual.
Rather than look at it as "does not happen" it may be helpful to think of "if this does happen anything is correct". So you can then split the codepaths into parts where the compiler is strictly specified in what it has to do (defined behaviour) and parts where anything is "correct". Of course the most optimal solution is to just produce the best code you can for the first category, because what code also happens to be "correct" for the second category.

Of course this is equivalent to "does not happen" but may make more sense as to why the compiler acts this way.
Blame the industry for doing so much tracking and at the same time not developing an industry standard for automating user consent decisions.

Can't you resolve the dependencies by running pip download when you have internet and later serving that directory with a local HTTP server as the parent suggested? Pip download will resolve all the dependencies for you already the same way as pip install would.
That's the "second" technical interview they didn't tell you about, to decide whether you are able to work on new developments.
Hows that work
TikTok's main success story seems to be to not push user hostile anti-feutures. Zucker and Google have hubris and it is punnishing them.

I've had a similar problem post covid - although I never had covid the after-effects of isolation have been somewhat hard to work through.

Surely others have dealt with this - but I actually did pretty okay throughout the lockdown in my okay sized room in NYC. My roommates paid rent but left for other states so I basically had an apt to myself. I got lucky enough to have a job as well - however, this instilled an odd kind of lazy malaise.

I've since left new york since everything worth doing in tech is remote - separated where I sleep and work etc. But it seems like my ability to properly get focused or excited about my work has completely atrophied.

My first step in solving this was using an app to track tasks that give me the most and take the most - so different kinds of "work" and things that "waste" time (youtube, web browsing etc).

I haven't found a solution but it's troubling to say the least. I initially was worried about not progressing as fast as I wanted to - now I've identified the issue is I rarely complete more than 3hrs of deep work per day. Or 6hrs of doing anything.

However, I've sort of accepted I'm an introvert - stopped trying to be "cool" for the right reasons and idk I have decent savings which feels good.
> packet sniffing software 24/7 to catch proof

I have to say, the fact that no one has done this makes me doubt it's real.

As hated as Facebook is, there's tons of motivation for people to catch them out with undeniable proof, and yet no one has done it.
Maybe GP is reacting strictly to the title and doesn't realize it's an article about coping with FreeBSD's WiFi issues.
I had more rings in mind, just haven’t thought it through yet. There might not need to be that many more though. Anything involving any communication at all would probably get an instant Ring 1. Possibly anything and everything else could go in a catch-all Ring 2. (PRs welcome)

Vivaldi really needs its own extension store.

What would be even better would be to use the repository model used by linux distros for software distribution.

The user should be able to choose which sources of extensions they trust.
I am skeptical of such events in wartime. Not that they didn't occur but that proper attribution was performed. Is there any mention of attribution through DNA evidence to RU soldiers? I ask because it is not uncommon for small fringe groups or hired mercenaries to create false flags acting as agent provocateurs wearing the uniforms of the enemy of their enemy to provoke escalation. Have the opposing forces been gathering and cataloging DNA from deceased soldiers and mercenaries? My limited understanding of the situation is that Russia are making little effort to retrieve the deceased. That should allow for a significant amount of DNA evidence.

In full disclosure, my hidden agenda for asking this question is that I wish to avoid nuclear escalation. Any time children are being harmed it evokes intense emotions as it should so I am asking if we know all the facts. If the evidence is classified per standard operating procedure then please invoke the process to declassify and read us in.
The point of my comment wasn't to glorify Steve Jobs, but to criticize the other commenter's unreasonable prejudice.

If you're looking for evidence in the public repo, consider what's not in there: one co-founder is missing, and so are the commits from the other author/co-founder for over a year. Not the signals you want in a dev-tooling project.

The way I try to stick to Christian ideals while browsing the internet, is there are certain sites I just don't visit that contain those things. Reddit, 4chan, Twitter, some Discord servers, etc. If you want to take religion seriously, you have to know what triggers sinful behaviors for yourself, nobody else will know so you have to know yourself in that regard, and avoid those places.

These days outside of hackernews and Discord I don't use much social media any more. Social media leads to people being constantly angry and judgemental, as well as leading to other ungodly attitudes, and I find that I am a much worse person when I use those sites. There is no one path to keeping yourself from going down dark roads...it's as personal as the individual using the computer. As the Bible says in Philippians 2:12, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. Find what works for you as a Christian, and use it.
If 'people' have more than 2 then yes. If my N siblings collectively have 2N kids then we are at break-even.

As effort for return goes, defending people for not having children may be one of the most effective acts of environmentalism someone can engage in.
I'm confused by both your assertion Firefox is dead and that they tried to rip off Chrome. Can you clarify?

I'm using Firefox specifically for a number of features chrome does not have.
I used to work for UPS, they are honestly a great company if you can keep up physically. Starting a career with them in the summer would probably be a very bad idea though. You need to build up tolerance to hard work in the heat and learn to hydrate. I used to sling packages in feeders that were extremely warm from the sun. Probably the best physical shape of my life after a couple years there. They go through new hires like water through a short pipe.

The upward mobility is a little slow, I started out working part time and the waiting list for full-time work was extremely long. As a union shop, seniority was everything. Who gets offered to go home early: Seniority. Who gets offered extra hours: Seniority. Who gets to take days off: Seniority. But there were no people getting special treatment because they were friends with the boss either.

Air quality was a massive problem in the hubs though. Between the constant air pollution from the airport and diesel trucks, and the gasoline tugs running through the hub, it can really suck if you're in it for 4-8 hours a day. You also had constant dust from boxes and the conveyor belts. If they went fully electric tugs and yard dogs it would have helped so much. Who knows, maybe they have at this point.
You don't have to care about your job. Most people have about four good hours of work in them. Just do your four hours, and take the rest of the day off. No job is worth burnout.
Agreed on the bloated frameworks.

I'm also enamored with https://redbean.dev/ -- this is a good problem to have: which awesome project to play with?
I have TOU based electric plan in CA, and the summer times are about to shift to peak starting at 4pm (from 10am). This huge shift is because of excess capacity from installed solar. 4pm is early enough that there's lots of use, but late enough that solar is tapering off.

I have a feeling that podcast small talk only appeals to a small subset of people, but isn't a dealbreaker for people that enjoy the content that isn't small talk.

I think most people don't like the story at the top of a recipe. However, with a "jump to recipe" button like most sites have, this story also isn't a dealbreaker.
I'm not defending Jobs, but people are more than one thing. It's possible he was entirely sincere when he wrote that email (allegedly), but was not that compelled to reconcile that sort of ideal with his other thoughts and actions. Thus I don't think everything Jobs said should be dismissed. I also understand why many have a hard time appreciating things that "bad" people say.

It is a shame that he said that to his daughter on his deathbed. I'd not heard about that until you mentioned it. People sometimes say crazy things or revert to earlier memories during their final few minutes, but
for Lisa, that must have solidified the reality that they would never have reconciled.
