looks like it only covers movies at the moment?

Looks to be more of a Movie filtering interface instead of a bulk media organization tool. No topics about any other kinds of media (cbr, ebooks, pdfs, images, music, adult?) appears to be in its infancy, got a long way to go to compete with plex / jellyfin or even just a well organized file structure.

no forum posts, and have to be approved by the site admin to even gain access.

sure the movie browsing experience seems well built - per the youtube video but personally i'd prefer a movie poster interface and maybe put the meta data in a details window when i hover/click on the poster. don't need the constant clutter when trying to find something.
OpenBSD is in the same situation, and it's particularly bad in the case of running the interface in HostAP mode (Wi-Fi access point). How I cope: a $30 Wi-Fi "range extender" whose hobbled firmware I supplanted with OpenWRT, now operating in bridged mode as an extension of my LAN.
i agree with that, but i also have no problem with advancing an employee, that is capable of doing exactly whats in thier job description, and not being distracted by workplace interstitials.
Yeah, absolutely ridiculous how slow the US has been regarding rolling out low-latency fiber. Granted, smaller countries could do it easier but even so, consumer fiber-optic connections have been around since the 2000s, and still it seems like it's mostly only available in bigger cities in the US.
The only real fix is to tax business owner income at the same (or, ideally, higher) rate as employees.

That seems like the perfect way to kill entrepreneurialism and flexible labour. Right now it costs almost nothing to go through the legal formalities of forming a limited company in the UK. However in terms of personal risk and investing your own savings to get the business started and the opportunity costs it can be a huge gamble for anyone who could otherwise be a well-paid professional employee.

We need some people to take those risks and make those investments. Some of those businesses will succeed and then they'll create new jobs and wealth and pay more tax. Of course that also includes employing people in the vast majority who don't want to take those risks and prefer the stability of regular employment.

If there's no reward for taking those risks and making those investments or (as with IR35 umbrella arrangements today) if you're actively penalised for working in a way that's economically useful then obviously it's going to deter most people from doing it. In the long term that doesn't help any of us.
Just think of it as training for when the Yellowstone super volcano lets go and burns the entire American NW.
I'm somewhat skeptical that the increasing power of private companies to gather and sell your personal data is increasing freedoms for the American people.

So a pragmatic person chooses a solution that maximizes the benefit and mitigates the tradeoffs.
I'm also deeply sceptical.
If any algorithm can get even one bit of data about the plaintext then the encryption is broken by definition.
Exactly. Fire suppression leads to even bigger fires down the road. Yet controlled burns are getting increasingly problematic. The New Mexico fires we had earlier this year were initially controlled burns that became dormant and spun out of control later. The yearly controlled burn time window is shrinking by one day a year because of climate change [0].

Would love to see this comparison too. I rented a 30th floor apartment literally next to a major highway once.

My Dyson Purifier never reported anything though.
> there is no avoiding "corruption," only moving it around.

American culture, and to a lesser extent Western culture in general, encourages this kind of corruption. If your culture elevates individualism and freedom above social responsibility and harmony, then your institutions will be systemically corrupted by selfish individuals.

So yes, given a culture that prioritizes individualism above all, corruption is unavoidable.

In other news, a former CCP top government minister was just sentenced to death for corruption. Incentives at work.
The Downfall of MongoDB Performance
I think one of the major missing factors is lack of OS support for the sorts of features that NVDIMM could potentially bring to the table. Super-fast wake from deep hibernation is just a starting point, the real work is re-writing every line of code written since the dawn of computing which starts from the two assumptions "one kind of storage is persistent and slow" and "the other kind of storage is volatile and fast".

HPE made noise about challenging those assumptions with The Machine but predictably lost interest as their own memristor technology lost steam.

This is great. I haven't used Vim in years - at least not seriously. I'm surprised as much by how much I remember as how much I've forgotten
I do agree with the reasoning here. For a few weeks / months, I have been trying to trust my first instinct / intuition more and more, sweeping away any second guessing when it comes in. So far, it seems to be working great and frees my mind so much it’s refreshing!

If consumption has a good reason to be as it is maybe. The whole reason we have lower night rates and such was due to how it was generated in the past though. Why would we continue that if it no longer makes sense?

It's something that should be looked at on the whole and tradeoffs considered.

The content producer - audience ratio was just different, a dumb line from a journalist would definitely have an outsized reach that go well beyond what the writer might have expected.

As you note, even today people with a global reach aren’t that many: I could be shouting a lot of thing on top of my soap box, I’d probably not be actually reaching more than a few dozen people, and we have enough content for the effect of a single person to be vastly diluted.
I didn’t realize it wasn’t Enzo until reading your comment just now, and that’s after skimming the article for several minutes. Now I’m wondering if I’m dyslexic or what.

The question is whether customers need or want that "functionality".
I'm actually with you. I don't have romanticism towards small book sellers and would personally be okay with Amazon dominating that industry.

If I had a small bookstore, I would turn it into a private members club and charge an annual members fee, serve coffee and cocktails, invest heavily in ambiance---overstuff chairs, etc. Key distinction would just be the books and the option to buy said books. (I know bars that have books already exist).

That's not evidence of eliteness. It's evidence that they produce a lot of professors. And as the top-10 list above points out, they produce a lot of PhDs.

It is an open question as to whether the reason they make a lot of professors is because they make a lot of PhDs, or because they are "elite".
It's probably not WhatsApp. It's maybe your keyboard. Gboard (default on many Android phones) for example is sending words by default back to Google if you do not turn it off.
Meta controls the proprietary Whatsapp client software that decrypts your messages and they can have that decrypt and scan the messages for them and send back metrics and how often different words are used.

They can of course also have their app de-crypt and re-encrypt the messages to the key of a requesting third party like police or hired reviewers if certain keywords are used.

Authorities could also have Google or Apple ship a signed tampered Whatsapp binary to any user or group of users, like protestors, that uses a custom seeded random number generator so they can predict all encryption keys generated and no one else, including Meta, will know.

The variant of end to end encryption where third parties control the proprietary software on both ends, is called marketing.
this just makes me think of the situation that resulted in Global TCP Synchronization flapping problem; when everyone is operating on the same premise without some random delay or other way to 'shard' the load it seems like a Slashdot effect is bound to happen.

Pulumi Is Imperative, Declarative, and Imperative
If we're going to go for 128- why not just go for 256-? that way we won't have to do this again for a while.

or better yet, design a new abstraction for not having to hard-code the limit of the pointer size but instead allow it to be extensible as more addressable space becomes a reality, instead of having to transition over and over. is this even possible? if it is, shouldn't we head in that direction?
I don't think I phrased that in a particularly rude way, but I'm sorry if it came across as rude.

The answer is that we have serialization techniques that are as good on all the dimensions that matter (speed, serialized size, etc.) and better in terms of security. Pickle and Marshal are, at best, footguns in otherwise very safe language ecosystems.
It's trivial, really: heat and dust drag down conversion efficiency and panel life. There are just so many other, better places to put them that may continue being used.
What? Peak electrical consumption is during the day.
The big challenge for electric companies is the swing between the night trough in demand and the day peak. Night charging is excellent because it flattens that curve. Bringing demand into a straighter line and allowing electric companies to generate at a steady rate without having to cycle production up and down.

I glanced though the article and found no mention of that.

You can’t write a piece like this and begin anywhere else.

This article gets an F- for effective communication and persuasion.
Because the laptop is likely a Russian campaign. The content appears to be genuine but the provenance is questionable (very convenient that the recipient was blind, no?).

Because the story itself is toxic -- it exists only to insinuate that Biden Sr. is corrupt. The GOP itself investigated and could find no such thing.

A bit sad that 1974 papers are still behind a IEEE paywall...

Edit:
Just finished reading it. I have to say that the generalization of 3.2 got a bit over me, but otherwise it's pretty amazing that they could define such a generalization.
Intuition for those type of problem is often to proceed one step at a time, N times.

That it is provably doable in log2(N) is great, especially since it allows for a choice of the depth/number of processors you want to use for the problem. Hopefully next time I design a latency-constrained system I remember to look at that article
Deep Tech Funding Slows as ‘Tourist’ Investors Retreat

Heh...reminds me in my Algebra II class, we were being taught polynomial expansion. I had a TI-89 which would do it automatically with a single function, but that wouldn't show the work, so I wouldn't get credit for it.

So I wrote a program that would show the work.

I asked my teacher if I could use that program on the test, and she said that if I knew the material so well that I could write a program that shows the work, then I'd probably ace the test without it anyways, so I could go ahead and use it on the condition that I did not share the program with any of my friends.

That condition was fine with me. I didn't have any friends. :-(
I wanted to try Logseq, but the android app completely freezes when trying to import my notes folder (about 350 files). I think I tried it a couple of months ago. The app named Orgro has nice UI, but it's read-only so still sucks.
I've used this technique in the past on various shipped Switch games. It's an API that puts the Switch into "CPU Boost Mode".

It overclocks the CPU at the expense of GPU. It's suitable only for loading screens or other areas of the game where you don't need to render at more than single-digit FPS, but can produce a 20-50% improvement in loading time.
I don't think this author did much research prior to writing this piece.

> Who is David Wadhwani, the person Figma is going to report to? I have never heard of this name while working at Adobe. A little further research shows he joined Adobe in June 2021, just over a year ago.

A quick look at his LinkedIn profile shows that he worked at Adobe for nearly 14 years prior to coming back as an exec. A little more digging shows that he came to Adobe back in 2005 via acquisition of Macromedia.

> even with Adobe keeping Figma as independent as it can be, it will develop and grow at a much slower pace since there will be no venture capital funds pouring in

Figma was already profitable. From all the reports, it doesn't seem like they had any intention of raising another round to continue growth.

> With accelerated stock vesting triggered by the acquisition, a lot of Figma employees will jump ship to their next adventure.

There is no accelerated vesting.

It's fine to criticize this deal from a business strategy perspective, but don't make up details to hit the word count...

Remember that you're paying for a subscription. Years ago I bought this thinking the subscription agreement is just there so the author can pull the plug if hosting the project became unprofitable. Nope. It was a subscription to make more money, which is understandable, but is not worth it imho.
> Google search barely works anymore.

This seems a bit exaggerated. Can you provide some examples? Also for the problem you are encountering, what alternative do you use? I have no issues with Google search that I can think of.

> Their phones have all been pretty buggy. They have their place but total quality of their software has been crazy lackluster and nowhere close to competing with apple.

I can't speak for their phones, but the Android OS has been rock solid for me for years. I loathe the Apple experience - on both iPhone and Macbook Pro - so this idea that they can't compete with Apple is not something I can agree with. I'm not even sure if it's a fair comparison as they have different goals aside from the mobile experience.

I agree with everything else you said though.
That statement was worded carefully

This reminds me of Steve Jobs' email to himself. In 2010 he wrote:

I am protected by freedoms and laws I did not conceive

Maybe I'm confused about what this offers, but I have been running private pypi repositories for a decade now, and it never required more than running an HTTP server with directory listing.

As for doing partial mirroring of pypi with only what you are using, is that really a good idea anyway? it will break whenever you add or change any dependency.

> No industry survives long by offering a worse product to consumers than what they had before

That's ... optimistic, but not really true.

It also doesn't seem to match what's happening here either. How is power generation when demand is highest a worse product?
Most EVs charging at home are plugged in from say 6pm to 7am. It would be most convenient to charge immediately but the electric rates (in california at least) are highest at 6pm and lowest at 7am.

There is choice in that equation.
Multiplication of 128 bit numbers is also not a big issue. Today you can do it with 4 MULs and some addition, and it would still be faster than 64-bit division. Hardware multiplication of 128-bit numbers would have area problems more than speed problems. You could always throw out the top 128 bits of the result (since 128x128 has a 256 bit result), and the circuit wouldn't be much bigger than a full 64 bit multiplier.
Which Algorithms course?

What bad advice are you seeing here?
one core thesis of rust is that history has adequately demonstrated that humans do not have sufficient vigilance
> 64 bits provides 16 EiB (16 x 1024 x 1024 x 1024 x 1 GiB), which is the sort of address space you might need for byte-level addressing of a warehouse full of high-density HDDs. Memory sizes don't grow like they used to

An exabyte was an absolutely incomprehensible amount of memory, once. Nearly as incomprehensible as 4 gigabytes seemed, at one time. But as you note, 64 bits of addressable data can fit into a single warehouse now.

Going by the historical rate of increase, $100 would buy about a petabyte of storage in 2040. Even presuming a major slowdown, we still start running into 64 bit addressing as a practical limit, perhaps sooner than you think.
To be clear, that's just the cadence of modern communication: Grandiloquence is out, qualifying language and mic drops are in.

You're just out of touch.

Can we pleeeeeeeeease drive a stake through the heart of this "made with love" meme?
As others have said... company ownership perspectives are subjective.

My opinion is that all C-level execs should have a piece of the company that vests over time. Ownership should be proportional to impact on the growth/bottom line of the company.
In a technology organization, the CTO role has a large impact on the company's present & future.

I have seen a lot of bad behavior from small business owners and start-up founders where they behave in a very miserly fashion with respect to equity for critical employees. Sometimes, key employees just allow themselves to be used... in other cases, key employees leave and it severely harms the company. I think this is something that every owner/founder needs to really spend some introspective time on... being greedy as an owner/founder is understandable but greed can harm your long term interests.

As an employee, the key factor with negotiating equity is understanding your realistic "value over replacement". If an owner/founder believes they can replace your contribution, at or close to your level of compensation, they have little impetus to compensate you better and your request will fall on deaf ears. If you are vital to the company and your owner/founder will rapidly be "up shit creek without a paddle" if you leave... then you are definitely in a situation where you deserve part of the company. Your owner/founder may not agree with you, of course.

Using market rate arguments, and the like, seldom works in practice. Your particular situation is unique. That CTO's almost always have equity is certainly in your favor... and means your request for appropriate equity is not crazy and really should be expected.
Wonder if anyone has built an AI to drive the bus and get that sweet single point.
To be clear, I wasn't complaining about the speed. 1/2 a second is pretty quick when the average is 6 seconds.
The problem is if we're sending 1 bit of information that is something along the lines of "go for it" or "something's there" or whatever. That's just not something an engine can tell you outside of specific scenarios where there is a really good move to be made.

You probably could rejigger the engine to factor into account the likelihood of a human finding the right moves and relative downside. Like an engine might reject a move that leaves them a half pawn down if the opponent makes 25 difficult to find moves in a row. But that risk/reward would be worth it going against a flawed human player.

Perhaps it could also work in conjunction with another GM that you train with regularly. They can use an engine and do the evaluation above themselves.
True but in practice developers are not that creative (yet) and there are even people who are regularly creating and updating lists with all of these IPs. I manually entered them but you can also run a firewall on your mobile devices (android) as well and combined with a opnsense / pfsense at home you are pretty much set. There may come a day when a provider starts to generate tons of different DoH providers on the fly but I do not think we have seen that yet.

Probably I should figure out a way to have my pfsense box though dynamically generate the blocked IP's based on one of these dynamically updated lists...
It's probably not "taking from those who consume in off-peak." The utility knows when people who use flat-rate power use it, so they can bake that into the flat rate. But if it makes consumers feel better about the price...
The health danger cited by the article is PM 2.5 particles. From a quick skim, your proposed solution does nothing to help with fine particles.
