It's consistently baffling to me to why people try to "attack" Gemini, as if it is some sort of "threat". A threat to what I am not sure. One of the common foibles is they try to compare it to "the web". This is absurd since Gemini is not "the web", nor is it anything close to a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP).

IMHO, at best Gemini is a Gopher redux. No one is planning to run commerce over Gopher. It is no different for Gemini. It's a "people's protocol", not a corporate one. It does not even have an RFC. It's relatively easy to write clients and servers. No corporate vendor or advertising sponsorship is needed. No one needs to have a "business model" to publish data/information via Gemini.

The Gemini FAQ explicitly addresses critics who see the internet through web-tinted glasses:

1.6 Do you really think you can replace the web?

Not for a minute! Nor does anybody involved with Gemini want to destroy Gopherspace. Gemini is not intended to replace either Gopher or the web, but to co-exist peacefully alongside them as one more option which people can freely choose to use if it suits them. In the same way that some people currently serve the same content via gopher and the web, people will be able to "bihost" or "trihost" content on whichever combination of protocols they think offer the best match to their technical, philosophical and aesthetic requirements and those of their intended audience.
Because spreading negativity is easy, and clearing it up is hard. Clearing it up is hard, but worth it, but Twitter’s structure makes that hard type of work even harder by having character limits and measuring value by popularity.

I just read the wikipedia article about it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Child_Welfare_Act

notice that it does not say that the children didn't need to be removed from their family situations, just that a new policy was put in place to place them in foster care within Native American culture, contrary to what had been happening, so the extremely high percentage of children to whom this was happening which you refer to seems to be a serious problem in its own right.
How to Bypass a Wire Cable Seal – Tamper Evident Bypass (2020) [video]
I have an ancient Atari Portfolio in daily use and because its the same form factor perhaps i can contribute my 2 eurocents:

As others already put it, the form factor is great for working on public transportation. No need to somehow wriggle out your laptop but simply slide this mini-laptop from your bag and start working.

A small keyboard is something one needs to get accustomed to, but after years now i can sincerely say that i type nearly as fast on the Portfolio as on a regular sized keyboard... and i would assume, that this new computer would have a much better keyboard than the old Portfolio.

Ok, now on the topic "what to do with this device": I mainly use the Portfolio for notes during meetings, hacking together a few figures in the spreadsheet app (something that is just plain uggly on an smartphone) and as a knowledge database for my daily work (e.g. MAC-adresses and so on).

One thing i have not found in any modern computer is the battery-liftime of the Folio: Nearly a month on three AAAs!

If you read the literature of the time, the issue was considered as largely understood. I would highly recommended science and hypothesis by Poincare (1905). You'll see a lot of concepts and equations that you might have assumed came from special relativity or even general relativity.

Same. About a month ago I only knew of them by name but went down the rabbit hole and read all of their docs & checked out their repo's. I'm basically on the edge of de-googling my life because they are the first bunch to give me confidence that there is a long-term path forward. I hope they stay true to their stated mission.
Liking the authors idea of at least highlighting where people should start to read more critically where statements of fact seem to be made.

I like the term data provenance. How do you capture & communicate where data supporting the statement comes from?

Still quite some progress to be made there with data literacy in terms of educating people to read charts, assess measurement techniques and methodology.
> From the outside, it feels like some heavy VM thing for building isolated systems in the cloud

I use Docker for everything locally. As a Python dev tired of fighting with different versions, virtual environments, wheel-issues etc...

> This makes it more available to external contributors, because they don't have to learn/install tools like Docker that aren't typically seen in JS.

I feel it's a bigger burden on me having to install whatever tools a random project expects. I vastly prefer a Dockerfile that just works, without me having to spend hours matching their setup, and also has the benefit that it doesn't pollute my system with lots of stuff.
I've found that the problem is, the pros typically won't do a better job than I would do myself. In fact, I got my uncle to fix my fridge after numerous places simply said "we don't repair fridges" (despite being an "appliance repair" company), another place thought it was a certain failed component, another thought it was a different part -- until they replaced that part and found that another part had a problem.. then they found the ACTUAL cause of the problem, a clogged tube. Which they don't/can't fix. Meanwhile, I find a video of a guy literally working on side of the road in India who clears this tube nearly effortlessly in like 5 minutes. "Professionals" are often just "a company that happens to officially do the thing you want", but the degree of craftsmanship is frequently absolutely pathetic. Oh yeah, one of those fridge repair places scratched the hell out of my floor by dragging the fridge without placing a protective plexiglass/plastic down first. It's like no one cares to do a good, thorough job anymore.

Europe either finds local and reliable energy sources or goes back to stone ages. Europe's problem is lack of energy and traditionalism, for the later maybe the Internet will eventually solve it but for the former the options are not good in short term.

Actually, EU did a good job regulating everything consumer into efficiency however for the industry there's hard limit how much energy you need. Renewables can't come soon enough.

How hard is it to destroy a pipeline? Do you actually need an underwater UAV, or might lowering explosives on a rope and a timer from a small boat do the job?

Remember - water transmits compression waves really well, and the pipe is the only compressible thing around. The sea there is only 200 meters deep, so lowering it on a rope at slack tide and with a good GPS on the boat, I'd imagine you'd be able to get explosives landing within 10 meters or so of the pipe.

>You completely missed the point. Manufacturer manuals can be hard to come by, but with older vehicles there are often after market manuals that were reasonably priced and quite exhaustive in details down to the proper torque of a bolt.

No I did not miss the point. Yes the manuals are great for having torque specs and proper steps for diagnosing and replacing components. YOU missed my point: That the steps themselves are terrible for DIY people DUE TO THE DESIGN OF THE CAR. It sounds like you didn't even read my comment in full. I HAVE the manual for this car. It is still a massive PITA to work on this car vs the Mazda (of which I also have the Haynes manual).

>YouTube generally covers just enough to have destroyed the market for real repair manuals and over half of the top YouTube results are someone that figured out how to do something, but doesn't really know what they are doing so they are like, "Just shove a q-tip in there it fixed it for me." SMH

You are really dismissing a lot of additional knowledge that is gained by crowd sourcing with your snarky comment. This particular module controls the buttons for the windows. It is a 300$ part. The fan community figured out it stops working because a 1mm piece of plastic breaks off and stops contacting a rubber membrane. A tiny piece of a q-tip fits the membrane cavity perfectly. The Haynes manual states to replace the whole 300$ part (on a car that is worth only around ~3k since it is 15+ years old). If you want to waste that kind of money go right ahead but for everyone else all of this focus on the car has uncovered interesting fixes like this.

Yes.

I think it’s the USA. They were furious about this pipeline and angry at Germany for their dependence on Russian gas.

This turns Europe away from Russia and sends a strong signal.

It removes a carrot Russia would wave to Europe.

It’s under the cover of a messy situation.

It sends a warning sign to Russia about nuclear weapons. The US could wipe out all energy exports and destroy the Russian economy without deploying a single nuke.

The standard way to pair Swiss tournaments in chess used to be index cards. One card per player. Each round, you write their opponent and their cumulative score, then you keep them sorted by score bucket and put them in pairs by trial and error trying to alternate colours and avoid successive upfloats.

Some arbiters, particularly in the UK, still did this at least as of ten years ago. Either they don't want to learn the computerised tools or they think humans give "better" pairings - not impossible, as humans can look ahead to reserve some combinations for future rounds.

135 players is a lot to handle manually, though, and this would make the last round pairing system almost impossible. (Calculating tiebreaks for a handful of players in the prizes is OK).

I can access the header and navigation instantly by pressing the home key on my keyboard, or near-instantly by flicking my phone's screen downward a few times. Having a navigation header appear is like reading a book that covers half my eyesight with a hologram of the index every time I look at the previous sentence.

I read from the top of the screen and scroll the page so that I'm always reading at the same position without much vertical eye movement, and occasionally flick back a sentence or two for context, which is why it's annoying for me. For a reader who read down the page and occasionally scrolled it would be much less annoying.

Regardless of what the encyclic said, the truth is that in Spain the Church closely colaborated with the fascist Franco regime, to the point that in many practical respects they were one and the same.

There is ample evidence that you can find with some obvious Googling, but I think this image is a good visual summary:

https://www.gettyimages.es/detail/fotografía-de-noticias/gen...

This is how the Catholic Church treated Franco (not sporadically, but as a custom, you can find plenty of images like that): under a canopy, like they do with images of Saints or the Virgin.

I think in the face of that, anyone will agree that encyclic was not worth the paper it was written on.
They've found a way to dupe corporations into hiring them and also are riding the ubiquitous "outsourcing for lower cost cutting" trend of late, so no one really questions if it makes sense to hire them.

I've seen managers hire them a couple times - usually, it's often when the manager's department is very understaffed, incompetent and frankly a bit clueless (even as to what the strategic direction should be) [1]. Then, in comes the TCS salespeople, who convince the department head to effectively outsource the department to them, and they'll just execute all its functions, and provide strategic direction as well. They promise to implement "top industry standards", and, if you're say a head of department in a bank, it sort of makes sense to believe that these people have been to dozens of banks, and have collected a body of knowledge on what the best practices are. Also, I think it's extremely tempting for the department head, since he'll just have to deal with TCS managers from now on, and not run his department. Not to mention the cost savings. All in all, on paper, their offer is very enticing (also for the manager who makes the decision, as it looks like TCS will make his job much easier), and, given the outsourcing trend in the industry, it's not controversial, so managers very often go for it. Afterwards, the execution is always a disaster and huge disappointment (and manager's career is very likely seriously damaged) - but TCS makes its money in the process.

Oh, and on top of that, there's of course also just regular graft, if the manager is willing to take the bribes.

Basically, the likes of TCS are a parasite, exploiting systemic weaknesses of corporate management.

[1] The other common scenario is when the CEO/CFO demand x% cost cuts from the department and is basically suggesting outsourcing himself.

Good story, but how do you search on Google Analytics IDs?

“You can reverse those sites to find a couple hundred of domains on that IP, then cross-check the list against matching Google Analytics IDs and find almost 50 domains”
For me, the primary concern are the horror stories of having everything in your life linked to a gmail account and then getting locked out with no recourse from google support. My secondary concern is to have a custom domain and email aliases. In my country the abuse of personal information is rampant and I would like to start pursuing companies who sells my information without consent.

I spent quite a few years working on a standalone framework called Go Micro which has now been donated to a community - https://github.com/go-micro/go-micro. Ultimately it never really achieved the potential standardisation I was hoping for e.g something like gRPC.

Micro is more of an all encompassing platform that addresses not just writing code but running, consuming it, securing it. I've been using it in production for 3-4 years now after a lot of pure OSS development. Still as others are saying it may never reach its true potential without the backing of a big vendor.

Actually, macro assemblers are better than C regarding security, because they don't do optimizations that wipe out code sections.
