Are you saying that X provides a value to you that you are unwilling to pay for at any rate? Not even something like 1 cent with minimal transaction friction and no ads or tracking? Not even if the ask was for something non monetary like saying thanks in a guestbook?
What the author mentions about sales reps having to listen more than they speak is the most important point in the whole piece IMO.

I think that's the precise reason why founders doing sales can increase success so dramatically. Because they want to improve their product, they tend to listen more. Therefore, they build better products, solve problems with more accuracy, and, consequently, sell more.
Well it’s a really mixed group of people all buried in a common pit. If they were Allie’s they’d have been buried in less heterogeneous groups according their own customs. Some may have been slaves but that doesn’t seem to be a common situation outside of Sparta and some rare occasions.

It’s well documented that there were a lot of mercenaries used in the Mediterranean at the time. The Greeks didn’t write much about their own use, but it makes sense. You’d probably want unit types other than hoplites in a large conflict, and specialized mercenaries are a great way to achieve that.
Because this goes against the lies the fascist totalitarians have spend years now spreading. And they just can't accept they are wrong in this as they might be wrong with other things as well...
"An example is the Smith-Waterman algorithm for genomics processing"

Sure, they can advertise that.

But are the vector units on Intel/AMD/ARM processors really not good enough?

"Debunking the 100X GPU vs. CPU Myth" is a somewhat controversial paper, but it lines up with my experience with common genomics workflows.
I watched the Ironman world championships for women the other day (the men's race are happening right now) and it was so full of ads. Not only are the race named after a sponsor, even the aerial photography was "courtesy of Qatar airways", even when it was clearly from a helicopter and a cable mounted camera. The hosts took every opportunity to talk about their sponsors, at the podium ceremony the sponsor's car was more prominent than the winner, etc. And this is an event where the price of entry is more than $1000 for the thousands of participants, and they have to qualify by doing at least one other event from the same organisation previously.

Same thing with other American sport events, every single thing is "brought to you by x". It permeates everything.
The Vera C. Rubin Observatory. About time she got some recognition, shame she's not around to see it.
Some of this is confused. Not all courts are article 3 courts. Their judgements are considered judicial and treated as such. For example, the PTO trial and patents board is executive.

I have not looked at the details of the proposed court here but the claim that it must not be part of the executive for it to be a judicial redress (Even as Europe defines it) is likely wrong. Whether it is judicial redress is about the kind of process you are afforded (including level of neutrality, etc), not about which part of your government pays the judges
Neovim has a headless mode that lets you interact with it via a msgpack rpc. So it can act like an editing “backend”.

There are plenty of GUI IDEs that use Neovim as their backends like Oni. You can just google “Neovim GUI” and get a long list of them.
Likely illegal…

However, just to be sure, my paypal account is linked to a debit card, and in the most lucky moment it could withdraw at most 70-100€.

Why on earth people keep getting credit cards and giving third parties access to them is beyond my comprehension…
In this case it's as if you can only drive on certain roads if you have a Honda Accord, and maybe in the country you're in the Honda Accord isn't even available to buy legally but there are still roads you can only use if you have one.
Not true unfortunately, as youtube, tv series and movies have shown, there is product placement that is huge/at least substantial.

Do you wanna know if a character is not the killer/bad guy? He is not using an iPhone.
As a customer who has been on a number of these calls, the thing I dislike the most is getting "yes" for every question I have. Just be honest with me.

Realistically I'm on the call with your business because I've put in a huge amount of research about your product or service, I likely narrowed things down to your service and maybe 1 or 2 others. I know a lot about the individual technical features of your service and your main competitors but didn't spend enough time to put it all together to solve every use case I might have -- only that your service so far looks promising.

I can't count the number of times where I'll bring something up and the person on the call (usually a business sales along with someone who is more technical) will flat out lie to us about something (even in a group call scenario), in which case I'll politely question that and reference their docs about it. They try to save grace by saying "oh yeah, our documentation must be out of date, sorry about that" or they directly lie about their competitors often saying so and so can't do xyz when they can and the easy out there is "oh, perhaps they added that recently".

It happens way too often to always have outdated documentation or information. Even after a 15 minute remote call you can get to know someone's mannerisms and the cadence of how they speak. It's not hard to tell when someone is lying or has much less confidence in what they're saying. I've gone with competitors for nearly 6 figure annual contracts because of these things multiple times when the decision has been pretty close.

If you're planning to be a customer, it's worth doing your due diligence to research things in a solid amount of detail before going into these calls. All it takes is maybe 2-3 full days of hardcore research to be super prepared. That's time very well spent to understand if a product looks like it will work for you as a first pass, especially so if you plan to bring other devs or a CTO into a future call to get contracts prepared and signed.
Decentralisation of roles
Off-topic, is this the David Chase who did all the original work on e-cash, decades before there was crypto currency?
A market driven economy means there is plenty of competition between Netflix, Disney, Peacock+, AppleTV, Amazon PrimeTV, Paramount+, Discovery+/HBO Max etc to deliver content that can convince people to pay.
It isn't just a PR, it is about the scale, especially when we are talking about Mongols.

Sure, ancient greeks did raping and pillaging, but (please correct my historical knowledge here if I am wrong, because I definitely could be) iirc ancient greeks didn't come even close to the scale of mongols who essentially conquered and held and insane chunk of the continent under their thumb for nearly a century (counting from the start of what's considered their golden age until the start of their decline). Especially considering the time period in question. It is one thing to control a large occupied territory using modern logistics, communication, and transportation tech. In the era before firearms were widely used, telegraph didn't exist, and where horse cavalries and archers were extremely relevant, that's a whole other magnitude.

It's like saying "Nazi Germany atrocities are all just PR, look at those african warlords over there." Sure, atrocities of those warlords are absolutely terrible and inhumane, but it is the scale of Nazi Germany that, rightfully, gives them that "PR".
Costs money to make but doesn't cost near what the "accounting" shows. There's no reason why actors should get literal millions of dollars per gig.

Copyright isn’t some inherent property of the in inverse, it’s up for debate. At best you can argue the right to restrict access to content the same way people used to argue in support of slavery.

Should libraries be allowed to purchase content and then ignore DRM? How about watching YouTube videos of video games you haven’t purchased. This stuff doesn’t have some universal answer everyone will agree with.

PS: As for pay for value, people also create value for me by living their life and paying taxes, that doesn’t somehow create an obligation for me to give them money.
Not having a trait is itself a trait. A snake that evolves legs has lost the trait of the legless bodyform.

Indeed. And even more in general, "truth" is a realtive term. More often than not, it is hardly verifiable, the best thing available is "consensus", which is the aim of Wikipedia content.

Vim (and recently neovim) has been my editor for around 14 years now! That's about seven hours in this editor every day, and I still find the mouse very convenient for a lot of the moves where the destination cannot be described with one or two keys. I like the idea of this plugin but I don't think it will be a big leap over the use of mouse!
You're the one suggesting the government should stay out of things, you tell us.

GPL can only exist because of government regulations and action when those regulations are violated.
>> a people orientation

Nope.

>> an intense dissatisfaction with the state of the world

No.

>> and a compulsion to do something about it

Lawl, no not all.

>> You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, Look at that, you son of a bitch

No, didn't have that effect on me. You're thinking about meth maybe?
From lightspeed's page, and I quote:

For a more lightweight, easier-to-use alternative, check out the author's new, work-in-progress plugin, Leap. It is a streamlined, refined successor of Lightspeed, incorporating all the lessons learned from the predecessor, achieving much better balance between speed, simplicity (of both interface and implementation) and intuitiveness.

Didn't check, dont know.
The real issue IMVHO is that people do not know how to damn manage their own data. Most are still stuck at dealing with files and directories. Most can't even manage their craphone photos. As a result the pile up rubbish on rubbish not know what to do, it's a bit different than 'digital hoarding' IMVHO...
I know 50 years of Americans since I am one and no one thinks it's ok...but it's so common I suspect we are expert at ignoring it, which is a slippery slope, to your point.
I am going to go the extra mile to make sure my kids don't watch ads as much as is humanly possible. I concur. Every time I check reality without an ad blocker I get sad.
But there is less competition that if you break up vertical monopolies of content+distribution, that's the point. Content producers must compete on content, and distributors must compete on distribution.
I almost never return, but there are domains with business models build upon massive numbers of returns.

This includes some parts of fashion. You buy online. If it doesn't fit, you return and buy another. There are hobbies which are similar. You buy extra parts, and return what you don't use.

The price factors in the 50+% return rate. If they didn't allow returns, no one would buy.

I don't know if that's what OP is doing, but I'm not ready to judge unless I know it's not.

Well that’s not the case, I can get all of the content I want on either my AppleTV, Roku, iPhone, etc.

People want the government to step in because it’s inconvenient for them to pay for the content they want.
The issue with php is the type of developers that use it and bloated frameworks. Nearly all developers still debate wether to use setters and getters and have no clue how to use the language itself, as a result using over engineered frameworks. The language itself is nice but is swamped by amateurs.
You have to ask yourself if we should be building these kinds of censorship tools to begin with. If I wasn't allowed to use the internet the way I did as a kid, I wouldn't be here today.
The quantity is one thing, the quality is what shocked me. The US has Hollywood making movies and the cheapest ads I’ve seen compared to European offerings. Think the difference between the ads that run on your average clickbait page compared to what you’d see on cnn.com, just worse.

I guess there’s a race to the bottom when you have a lot more TV channels to fill with ads, but it’s quite jarring.
Reminds me of Avy on emacs.

I recently canceled patroon support for an author and there is absolutely no content they could create that would make me willing to buy their content at any price.

I also lost interest in their content, but in theory if I still had interest I would think nothing of pirating it.
I'm currently typing this from my T450s. My perspective:

I love the chiclets. They did a good job. The keys are perfectly shaped to reduce accidental presses.

> I don't understand why Lenovo doesn't add an extra 1 mm to the thickness of their laptops

Because they are already market leaders on key travel. Why aim for perfection when you are already ahead of everyone else.

I agree that I don't like the direction they are heading towards USB0-C and non removeable batteries, but at least for the mid-model years I think they did a good job balancing which components were replaceable.
Australian recommendations on the use of a booster dose of Covid-19 vaccine [pdf]
A second booster dose is recommended from 3 months after the first booster dose for:

* people 50 years or older

* residents aged 16 years and older of an aged care or disability care facility

* people aged 16 years or older who have complex, chronic, or severe medical
conditions that increase their risk of severe COVID-19 illness

* people aged 16 years or older with disability, significant or complex health needs, or multiple comorbidities which increase the risk of a poor outcome from COVID-19.

Before the industry caught on that content were being shared via USENET you could download a film off an usenet provider with no issues. Maybe some PAR2s to repair a broken download but mostly ended up at 100%.

Nowadays the industries launch DMCAs, the provider complies. Providers, to fulfill the requests tend to remove parts of the archive rather than all. If can't download rar part 22,23 you can't complete the movie. They've done their part.

The movie "The HackerNews" has 20 rar parts, usenet provider #1 has 1-18 rar parts and 19-20 rar parts are missing. usenet provider #2 has 16-20 rar parts but missing 1-15. Combine two or more backbackbone providers and you can grab all files.

PAR2 is a godsend, and usenet is a hidden cave of treasure.

I just don’t get it. You (collectively) hate the TV industry but love TV shows and can’t live without them? Is that the basic idea?

Do you think you can still get the TV shows you love if you evade the TV industries monetization mechanisms? Or is the plan that everyone else will continue to pay and so it’ll all be okay? Something else? What’s the end game here?

FWIW I don’t watch TV. Not because I hate the industry or out of principle but because it’s just not very entertaining to me.
I hardly used plug-ins, so am not in a position to evaluate, but the author says that Leap is comparable to Sneak for vim.
I call this the "path to enlightenment." You have discovered that the most popular toolchain is overkill for 95% of the things its used for.

The problem is that's true literally across the board. You move to the backend and you have to deal with people who fell in love with microservices and weird databases that they didn't need. You move to ops and you have to deal with k8s when a single container would do. If you try mobile app development, let me know, I've never tried but I doubt it's exempt.

Why does this happen? No idea, but it's not lost on me that a lot of these things are backed by huge companies with giant piles of money who are using them as marketing.

The only thing you can do (besides leave it all behind and open a taqueria) is be a voice for simplicity. What are we going to build? What tools make sense for it?

The problem I'm running into is a lot of people expect to use React in the same way many of us once relied on jquery. So if that's the case and we must use some React, what can I do to use it in the simplest and clearest way possible?

Not. The problem is not with the existence of zoning.

The effect a new structure has on its surroundings is an extremely important externality to measure and regulate. I want to be able to not only buy or rent land, but also be able to buy or rent land with restrictions on what can be allowed around it.

The most obvious example of when i have this right is when a major polluter pops up in my backyard, but light, noise, traffic, smell, and even view are all thing that should be protected to some extent. Or at least protectable.

Developers do not natively care about these externalities, and zoning is a coarse way of preventing that disconnect from completely destroying cities. It is a very complicated problem, and the cato institute is suggesting that we let investors make as much money as they can at the cost of those externalities, and because they are an evil PR firm, they dress that claim up as being good for the health of cities

Moreover, the fact that the cato institute is an evil PR firm is absolutely a general aegumwnt that the things that they say are bad faith, bad arguments. If you cannot come up with why they are wrong on your own, you should trust the dont trust cato heuristic, because the entire purpose of PR is to dress up evil as good.
To be fair sport sponsorships are a thing everywhere, just look at any team shirt or race car.
Where did the hydrogen come from? What powered the machine making the lox? Every watt of energy used by a tourist rocket could be better used reducing emissions elsewhere.
Mercury lamps just happen to emit light at 253.7 nm, very close to the wavelength of UVC that best kills microbes, 254nm. 185nm is also regarded as a wavelength that kills microbes, but this is by proxy of it being the wavelength best at producing ozone, which then kills microbes.

It has been possible to purchase LEDs with a peak wavelength of 255nm (250-260nm) and other wavelengths of UVC and UVB for a decade at least, but they cost about $300/pc iirc, making them very expensive for building a one-off microbe-killer flashlight or disinfecting multi-LED array. Comparatively, Mercury lamps are cheap.
This is plainly illegal. Just because it is written in a contract doesn't mean that it will stand up in court. Paypal is opening itself up to major class action lawsuits over this. Liquidated damages are 1) extremely hard to prove and 2) Paypal has to prove that the damages incurred were actually $2500. AG's are going to have a field day with this one.

Yeah, that part:

The Lorraine chipset was also very powerful. It took advantage of blitters, chips that allowed information to bypass the CPU completely. Thanks in part to the blitters on the mainboard, the machine was capable of displaying up to 4,096 colors.

Was really confused-sounding. The Amiga only had one blitter, and it was not a discrete chip (part of Agnus I think). The "bypassing" is probably a reference to the DMA that the custom chips used in order to work independently from the CPU.

I grew up/learnt coding on the Amiga, loved it sooo much.

Edit: copypasta fix.
I doubled my Patreon contribution to Denys this morning.

Patreon offers no way to add a one-time boost, which sucks.

I think the EU will accept this. Geopolitically, they are in a bad spot, relying heavily on US shipments of natural gas. With the Nord Steam explosions, even if the EU and Russia reached a deal, there would still be a huge delay in gas shipments.

Basically, I do t think the EU has much choice.
I’m suggesting that it’s an entitled position that you want to control how other people distribute content that they pay for. If you don’t like it - create your content. You probably have a 4K video recording device in your pocket and a computer at home capable of editing said content
You mean the content I want?

Here's my average Netflix experience: I want to watch X. I search X on Neflix, and learn that Netflix doesn't have it because they only have a few thousand movies which is abysmal. I then spend the next two hours aimlessly browsing the Netflix catalogue searching for something kind of similar to X, but nothing is and I have to give up having watched nothing.

Here's my average pirating experience: I want to watch X. I search X on TPB and find exactly what I want with a few seeds. Half an hour later I am watching X.
People have to live somewhere. And the per-capita environmental burden is obviously in favor of density, no? I'm not sure I understand this distinction you're trying to draw.

Living in Australia, we get a lot of US TV, and it was weird when there was this weird pacing cut within a TV show. Then you realised that it was put in as a US ad break, but AU rules didn't allow as many ads so it just sort of faded to black and then came back again.

Contrast that to UK TV, which we get a lot of too. The pacing and breaks are much more in line with what you're allowed for ads in AU, so there's no weird interruptions in the middle.

I always found it a fascinating mirror to the broader cultural differences writ large.
This stems from the fact that many in web dev are not really engineers. There’s a lot of reinventing the wheel and cult like following of various tech influencers. Instead of extending existing libraries people just fork repositories, add minor changes, and advertise them as new. A lot of architectural patterns are just a soup of concepts thrown around without proper planning or understanding of dry or solid.
There is nothing wrong with rejecting the patch... there is something definitely wrong with calling it "unintelligent" and "idiotic". Esp since a year or two ago Linus publicly committed to toning down some of his more toxic behavior.
