Our lives are being jailed into our phones’ cameras
Yes, sadly, that’s the hard reality we encounter everyday, everywhere..

In today’s “supposed” modern life, almost everybody is being forced, by himself, to be locked into his phone’s camera. At any moment he picks the camera to take a shot, its not a problem, but when he/she continuously post on social media and keeps refreshing to see the number of impressions they got, that’s a problem. Being happy and feeling valued.. that’s a disaster.

IG, TK, Snapchat (and to some extent, FB -in some parts of the world-) are mostly based on people sharing their private lives to the public which does hurt everybody -alike-. Makers are losing their private lives in exchange for money and exposure, they suffer from countless psychological and mental issues by trying to be at their best just for their audience, even if it is FAKE and is far from being the reality. On the other hand, Fans are dying of jealousy of their “idols/influencers”, resulting in self-underestimation, self-hate and.. I just can’t believe it, “suicide-thoughts”, Yes. People, or more precisely, teen girls, had even thought to put an end to their lives.. why? Just to end the suffering inside because.. you know the rest.

And you know what? The newcomer, BeReal. While it appears it has a plan to fix some [or all] of the above-mentioned issues, it still has, IMHO, a fundamental issue, which is, keeping people taking photos of themselves [at random times in the day without preparing] and publish them publicly, or privately. Again, this is the core idea all the platforms are based on, so, this rewind us to the title above.

On the other part of the equation are “Phone Makers”, maybe the lion’s share of their keynotes is dedicated to the camera, the top-of-the-show. AI, MegaPixels, Stabilization.. are some of the buzz words being “stressed” during the show. “The most advanced camera system ever in an iPhone”, “S23 Ultra is rumored to have an unbelievable 200MP.. you count it..”

It’s like our lives are being reduced to a 1cm-square device! Life is being minified as “life.min.cam”

Maybe I am stuck in a “prehistoric life”, thus I’m unable to understand how all this is being mainstream.

Maybe my brain’s hardware is outdated in a way it couldn’t upgrade the soft inside to the latest stable release of modern life.

Maybe I am completely wrong about this.. like driving your car, by mistake, in the opposite direction while in a new city.

I just wanted to share some words..
> The fact that few people realize that Google has a page limit shows how rarely people actually want more pages.

I used to (years and years ago) go past the first page pretty often, but results are so bad now that it rarely helps, so I almost never even click "2", let alone later pages. It's all gonna be obviously-irrelevant crap google "helpfully" found for me or the auto-generated spam that google used to try to fight (circa 2008 and earlier) but no longer seems to, just letting it gunk up and dominate up any results you get that aren't from a handful of top sites.

So this is in part one of those "we broke a thing and now no-one uses it, guess they didn't want it!"
Your site needed 2 or 3 things to work: Ranking in the top 100 results of Google Search, then Google AdSense and/or Analytics for this to fool Google.
It is surprising that people ever thought there was a future for NFT's.
Grammar is shoddy, using loaded buzzwords, the concept itself seems dubious at best, etc.

This seems ethically and legally questionable, at best. I'd stay away from this. It's asking for a defamation lawsuit or something similar.
Obviously because it’s an innate part of our being. It has been with us for thousands of years. If we mostly stopped eating food because of some sort of breakthrough supplementation, we would likely have a food simulator.
You would need oxygen and nitrogen anyway. You could use hot nitrogen (heated resistively or as plasma), you don't need acetylene.
Yeah, from what I can find, there is no mention of anything Svelte Native in the SvelteKit docs. Thanks anyway for the pointer, looks interesting enough still!
Why are so few of the many capable people, able to farm?
Something that I don't think folks consider the perspective of is that the big console manufacturers often act in the same vein that third party DRM/Anti-Tamper firms like Denuvo do in establishing relationships with publishers. Part of the value proposition with releasing on a console is that the platform provides a reasonable duty to protect sales, and they incentivize that themselves by the sales structure. Most consoles are sold at a loss, with revenue being made up largely through title sales. This puts the game publisher and the console manufacturer on the same team in ensuring that sales are protected, and as such decisions are made to tightly control what software can run on these otherwise incredibly powerful, compact machines.

Do want to clarify, I personally don't think it's the right play overall, but it's the play Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo have been making for years. Now let's look at Valve.

Valve took their distribution platform, which already runs in lawless country on the largely unrestricted platform of PCs, and made a console experience for that with Steam Deck. Valve isn't incentivized to lock down the Deck any more than a PC is locked down, which is to say not very much at all. As a result, they can much more easily advocate for Right to Repair, modding, software customization, the works, because their existing market dominance as the biggest PC games distributor gives them that weight to throw around.

I'm happy that Valve isn't locking down Deck to customization in anticipation of shifting winds to get folks to target the platform, but we really can't call this an apples-to-apples comparison. Two very different companies with two very different histories of deal making with game publishers having latitude to do two very different styles of hardware control.
How can the article not mention that it ebbs and flows? They're making it alarmist sounding when it's just the natural state of the river.
This seems to be some weird semantic angle where because Plaid is audited that makes what they're doing not phishing? I'm not sure I agree with that definition or that it is particularly common.

That said, if it makes you feel better, pretend my comment read "Plaid pretends to be the users' banks in order to trick users into giving Plaid their bank credentials and stores those credentials without their knowledge or consent".
SewerAI | Remote-first (employees can also choose to work in-person at our Walnut Creek, CA location) Full-time | Full Stack Software Engineer (all levels)

At SewerAI we are building the sewer inspection platform of the future. Our platform, Pioneer, is an AI and data management service that is improving the speed, effectiveness and cost for cities and engineering firms to manage infrastructure. Our cutting edge AI lowers the total cost of ownership of cities’ infrastructure by reducing the dirty, dull, and dangerous work that must be done to maintain infrastructure, while our web platform allows efficient management and analysis of sewer systems.

So that's it for the HR blurb. Real talk, we are looking for a Full Stack Software Engineer who loves exploring outside the box solutions to problems with a good sense of how to architect maintainable clean code. We really don't place any limits on what you can do, and encourage prototyping experimental solutions. As far as the stack goes, everything currently runs on AWS Lambda, with a Django and Python as the primary language. The frontend app is some intense React with Typescript. We also have an electron app to communicate with truck hardware over a serial connection. Apply at the below link if interested. (No whiteboarding for the interview.)

This particular woman was interested, I doubt most would be. This article wasn't interesting at all, she didn't even find out anything about the scam. I don't see why it was written. Newsflash there are scammers on the internet.
You missed the most important anti-pattern that exists in all of Match's dating apps: limited swipes.

The entire foundational purpose of dating apps is to make the numbers game tractable.

By limiting the amount of swipes you can do, you limit the amount of people you can contact. By paywalling swipes, you limit the amount of people who can contact you.

Somehow the only popular dating apps are the ones literally designed to fail.
Clickbaty question. Blockchains and query languages (the QL in GraphQL) are not related technologies. Graph QL is just a method of querying SQL databases. Many databases aren't even SQL anymore. Meanwhile, money can be made from many database-related technologies without involving a blockchain.

the "energy war" isn't an economic blunder, it's a consequence. It's a consequence of politics and and it reveals alot about what is going on under the covers - but the outcome will be simple.

We swap growth and prosperity for recession and hard times. But we keep geopolitical independence.

The alternative is to go along with the Russians until the next time, when the next time will be far too late.
Because people aren't pulling themselves over and and shooting themselves. They aren't invading their own homes and shooting themselves. They aren't kneeling on their own chests and asphyxiating themselves. And the simple fact of the matter is that this is a RESPONSE to how cops have treated minorities for generations. Pretending that educating children on how to act around people who have a preconception that the color of your skin causes you to be a threat is racist gaslighting.

There's a speed trap in Louisiana that I passed through for over 30 years. I've never seen a white person behind the wheel of a car with a police car nearby unless it was a traffic accident, I've seen tons of white motorists pass through the area far above the speed limit, and the community is 60% white. Meanwhile, I saw black folks pulled over literally every day. Please whitesplain to me how being wary of the cops in that stretch is the fault of black folks.
Totally, I believe SVGO (https://jakearchibald.github.io/svgomg/) does this for you as well.

>The fact that few people realize that Google has a page limit shows how rarely people actually want more pages.

the fact is I just want the long tail or weird results to escape content farms, but I guess if it were possible for google to serve those content farms would spring up to game the long tail or weird results market.
Styling Django-allauth Authentication Pages
The biggest problem we've encountered with existing tools in the Kafka ecosystem (and the homegrown solutions that we've seen) is that nearly all of them sacrifice consistency. Debezium and most other Kafka Connect plugins will produce duplicate records upon restart, for example, that are very difficult to correctly deduplicate downstream. Things look right when you first turn on the plugin, but a week later when your Kafka Connect cluster restarts, a bit of incorrectness seeps in.

Materialize, by contrast, has been explicitly designed to preserve the consistency present in your upstream system. Our PostgreSQL source, for example, ensures that transactions committed to PostgreSQL appear atomically in Materialize, even when those transactions span multiple tables. See our "consistency guarantees" docs for some more information [0]. We have some additional features coming down the pipe, too, like allowing you to guarantee that your queries against Materialize reflect the latest data in your upstream sources [1].

I am Vlad, a iOS developer with 5 years of experience. Over the past couple months I have been working as a contractor for a US based client.

I am passionate about writing robust, clean and maintainable code. I can work both on my own or in a team, but I am more comfortable with latter.

I value people that are open minded, willing to discuss ideas and debate on technical topics.

Poisoning the source – How and why attackers are targeting developer accounts
this is very cool.
quick question though - do u have a gradle build setup ? im new to java and saw this problem on spring boot. That you needed to have this bunch of complex directory structures cos of the way java packages worked. for e.g. the test directories were parallel to the src directory, so they could be named with the same package name.

for a single file...i can just run java. but it would be nice to see a gradle setup that keeps simplicity and yet can have thousands of files and testcases organised in a nice structure.

secondly, it is nice that you have Jetty hooks. Can you also have CORS & proxy protocol ? its literally mandatory to have this stuff if ur deploying on any of the k8s based clouds.

e.g. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/73225314/accept-proxy-pr...
It's worse in that you need to wait until PHP adds it into the library, instead of just downloading it and using it.
I don't play Farming Simulator (though an older copy of it is sitting in my steam library)... I do play American Truck Simulator.

For ATS, there's a certain relaxing of "just driving". You've got a goal, and simple, well defined tasks - go here, pick up the load, go there, deliver the load. The 'go there' part is largely an autopilot of a few decades of driving experience with a bit of "ok, this is different" when dealing with something that has a large trailer.

For the most part, its something I can play without needing to do any deeper problem solving. To that end, the game is relaxing.

With the nature of the game, its also something that one can "do" - there are few impossible tasks unlike what one encounters with a day job. The consequences for not completing something is a few points however they are measured - but rarely game ending (and in many cases, that's resolved with a save file).

It is about getting something 'realistic' done in today's world of ever increasing demands.

(very late edit)

My current gaming binge is Hardspace Ship Breaker - which is a game about being a shipbreaker for space ships. Its got the "this can be routine" (though if you mess up the reactor it can get very interesting very fast).

Ship breaking ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_breaking ) is in the category of most dangerous jobs and space ships are obviously not realistic. But it's the game that you can just get into the grove and do. One of the best things about the game (for me) is that it is 15 minute shifts. So you can easily say "I'll play this game for 15 minutes on lunch break" and as long as you stick to one shift, that's 15 minutes. The shift ends and its done.
Wasoko and Zanzibar partner to launch an innovation hub
As someone who got a pilot's license because of flight simulator, I'm honestly shocked actually at how much the virtual experience can successfully scratch the itch of the real thing. Sure, there's a thrill that cannot be matched and despite a high-end VR set up at home, the graphics in real life are better, but there's a good amount of the joy I get from the real thing -- the technical challenge, the navigation, the brief escape of being immersed in this activity and not thinking about much else, etc. -- that nowadays you can very faithfully recreate in the sim. And, unlike real life, it is comparably 0 cost activity in terms of setup/price/time.
Please excuse me for misrepresenting your work then Steve!

> This is a massively corrupt and unfair system. It's signficantly worse and more centralized than the way Bitcoin distributes new currency.

The fiat currency I use on a day-to-day basis (CAD) has had much less volatility over last few decades than Bitcoin has had over the last months / years. And any changes that have occurred (even the recent ones) have been at a generally predictable rate that makes long-term planning (e.g., for retirement savings) achievable.

Maybe Bitcoin (or whatever comes after it) will be able to achieve similar results eventually, and perhaps at that point I'll start seriously looking at it.
If it was a DirectShow filter, we could just connect: containder demuxer -> audio decoder -> transcriber -> translator -> subtitle renderer :)
> but do they recognize it?

They don't need to for it to affect attendance. You stick around when you find something captivating and skip that which you find dull. And something that was captivating twenty years ago compared to the other content that was available at that time might be dull compared to today's content. Teachers can't expect styles and material from decades ago to just work like it used to.
Huh, I wonder what's different with my setup. I would need to put curly braces around that closure before it would compile, i.e:

.get("/", { ctx -> ctx.result("Hello World") })

Closures defined only by the arrow are a Java thing... or so I thought. :D
The author should have defined the term "schizoid" since it colloquially refers to Schizophrenia rather than Schizoid Personality Disorder. The former involves hallucinations and is also a pejorative used to imply that someone is "crazy". The latter is an extreme form of introversion: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schizoid_personality_disorder

DSM-5 criteria:

- Neither desires nor enjoys close relationships, including being part of a family.
- Almost always chooses solitary activities.
- Has little, if any, interest in having sexual experiences with another person.
- Takes pleasure in few, if any, activities.
- Lacks close friends or confidants other than first-degree relatives.
- Appears indifferent to the praise or criticism of others.
- Shows emotional coldness, detachment, or flattened affectivity.
As I pointed out in a different comment I have three strategies:

- note-taking including writing down my own ideas
- use audio books and trying to associate what I'm listening to with where I am (for me, exertion increases retention :-))
- re-reading or re-listening to books/chapters

I suppose if I could find people to discuss what I'm reading with, that would be even better. But I'd drive most people mad.
It is definitely hard to compare one site ranking vs another and definitively conclude that AdSense made one rank higher than just Analytics, but in every case AdSense+Analytics sites correlated with a better ranking/.

Technical writing. It would probably be best when paired with an academic reading course where you learn to read the academic papers on computer science. "Foundations in Computing: Reading & Writing"

Each assignment could be a process of writing a summary and then breaking down a component of the paper into a diagram and walkthrough process. Writing in this case would have to involve more than just words too. You could do a section on diagraming and another on screen recorded walkthroughs or video-based show-and-tells.

To make things worse, Match.com translates profiles from one "platform" to another. So that interesting person you see on, say, PlentyOfFish never posted their profile to POF - they originally only wrote an OKCupid profile. If you bother to read the "terms of use" then you'll find they can do this.

Many times when it looks like someone else is interested in you, the appearance is made that they can only be reached by subscribing for money, it turns out that the person is not there, never was there and had abandoned the other platform due to lack of interest.

And paying for the service never makes it easier to get dates either.
This reads more like a sign saying "over x customers served" on a fast food restaurant. It doesn't really matter, nobody will ever care about the accuracy of the information, but it's a pride thing and makes a point about the establishment.

Obviously there aren't millions of meaningful hits on most terms, but you don't need to go to page 10001 for that. You can get to page 3 and know it for sure.
Completely naive question here, but could you cluster the WASM instances (with mods, I'd assume, more is it possible via the WASM abstractions?). Not sure why but seems like a interesting thing :)
