I think there are better ways to open ZIM files. I've had massive trouble with Kiwix. The old version seems broke beyond repair and the new version is too heavy.

ZIMply on branch `version2` has worked pretty well for me [1]. The search works a lot better and it's really nicely formatted.

They already thought of building a house in Mars, that's a feasible idea.
I'm sympathetic to the needs of home chemists, niche as they are, but it's the co-recommendations that really send it over the edge.
That's absolutely not what they're doing. If you want to fix society, stop the societal factors that create the urge. Don't try in vain to take autonomy away and force people to barbaric, unreliable, dehumanizing solutions after the urge has already overtaken them. That's cruel, ill-advised, and sick. Especially when, like in Goldberg's case, you're doing it for money.

Forcing people to a rope or a gun just serves to add "disabled" to their list of problems (or amplify their existing problems, if "lack of autonomy" is part of their reason), and then instead of them having their previous problems, they now have their previous problems plus one. At least with suicide your problems go away, because you stop existing.
Article 6 of the US Constitution means that ratified treaties pre-empt state law. It has nothing to do with federal law. See Ware v. Hylton (1796) and McCulloch v. Maryland (1819).

Treaties that conflict with federal law are null and void; Congress has to pass legislation if they want to make any such conflicting requirements effective. The same applies to treaties that attempt to restrict constitutional rights: such provisions have no force nor can Congress enact them. That would require an amendment.
This is a horrifically dystopian suggestion. I do not need the police called to my home because I searched "suicide" on Amazon.
Could you explain what it is why it would be nice to have ?
According to the twitter thread, the certificate is generated and used locally on your computer, not remotely on the NordVPN servers. If this is confirmed it doesn't sound too bad, but if the NordVPN software is closed source it's still suspicious.
"Why not also question if he was infected by corona virus?"

Sure, it is legit question. But for me personally not relevant, because I know more previously healthly people dead/serious ill because of vaccines and just one (obese) dead because of covid. I prefer to gather non-anonymous and non-generalized examples.
For any thing I might wish had been different, there was a reason, whether I know it or not, that I did something that looks bad. I've become more able to accept my past even though things look quite bleak to me these days. In that past I learned some things that give me ideas of what I want to do now, and I'm grateful for that.
Wars trigger emergency measures. It would be extremely foolish to project this as a trend.
I think that optical disks is a lot like a Lemons market[1]. Buyers can't evaluate the quality (durability) of disks, so are not willing to pay high prices, which drives high quality suppliers out of the market, which causes buyers to offer even less, which drives even more quality suppliers out of the market, resulting in a death spiral.

That I haven't punched a few people in the face when I should have.
> A more reasonable question would be, how many partially completed sudoku grids are there which have a unique solution. We don't know the answer to that.

If you interpret "unique" to mean that two puzzles that lead to the same solution count as one, the answer would be equal to the number of completed grids. Just remove one number and you get a partially completed grid, and there cannot be more.

The interpretation you mean is probably how many partially completed sudoku grids have only a single solution instead of multiple, which leads to a much more interesting question.
As a Chinese, I really need the anti leeching capabilities, as too many people here use Xunlei that only download but never upload. Sad to see that the maintainers skip this again.
Sounds really interesting.

Do you have any links to learn more about your prefab designs and a company that assembles these designs?
The protocol should be able to find same files in other torrents - you could be downloading a bunch of files (like a season of TV), but are able to find and download one file from another torrent that is better seeded (like one single episode torrent). But I don't think any of the clients implement that yet.
> Even with that the same problem occurs: "slanted" is a 3D relationship, so at best it's an analogy.

Yeah, but it's the same analogy you use to represent 3D figures on a 2D plane, where slanted is a 2D relationship; and we are very well versed on it and know how it works as a projection of a 3D reality.

> These are all analogies which might allow us to reason and get interesting/useful results when we use such analogies... but we should not under the illusion that we really know what those things for which we have no senses are like.

Is this some reflections about Plato's cave? You don't need much insight to understand the basis of moving over an extra dimension - if you can understand what it's like to move over parallel planes from a 2D view, you can understand the same by moving over superposed volumes from a 3D view. A hyper-sphere can be visualized as a linear collection of increasingly small spheres glued together, in the same way that you can view a sphere as a linear collection of increasingly small circles over an axis orthogonal to its center.

> Also, there are probably all sorts of interesting/useful connections, relationships or conclusions that a being who really could sense 4D objects would find obvious or easy to make that we may never arrive at because our way of thinking of them is so limited in comparison.

Yeah, and some people are really bad at 3D visualization so they have no hope to arrive at conclusions that are trivial to an architect or engineer. That doesn't prevent higher-dimension visualization techniques from being useful for the insights that it can provide, even if they can't give omniscience. For all the other insights, we have formal methods and logic reasoning, which is how 4D space was originated to begin with.

Seems a strange omission not to evaluate the ProRAW capture. I can understand having the rankings being in the typical/regular mode (as competitors may not have comparable modes), but surely there's value into evaluating what the enhancement offered by the top-quality mode offers?

It's a bit like evaluating the drive characteristics of a sports car but not once taking it out of comfort mode.
Because Americans regard living in anything other than a detached house as a failure.
Instead of wasting all my money in my 20s it would've been much smarter to save it as I would be a lot more well of today than I am currently.
Bitcoin. I knew about it from the very beginning.
3. Understand that even if you do all of the above, there will still be people you will be unable to reach.

3a. Methods that would reach those people would again not apply to the first group or to others.
Well after Netflix, Amazon Prime, HBO Max, Disney+ and dozens of other regional streaming services, I started using Transmission again.
I think it's totally fine for Amazon to sell lab-grade chemicals regardless of whether there's a common household use for them. I've personally bought chemicals like this for use in an aquarium.

It makes absolutely no sense to blame neutral 3rd parties in someone's suicide. If Amazon's "frequently bought together" feature suggested anti-vomiting agents and a book discussing suicide techniques, that's a pretty unfortunate and I'd really like to see a screenshot proof, but doesn't change the fact that person likely had acquired all the information they needed independently. These personal injury are grifters preying on grieving families.

Their claim that "Amazon is a serial killer" is one of the most ridiculous and hyperbolic things I've read in a while.
I've always only bought Taiyo Yuden media since ~2000. Every CD-R and DVD-R I still have that I've tried is still readable.

Taiyo Yuden at least used to be white labeled sometimes, so you'd just look up online what white-label media at Best Buy or CompUSA at the time was Taiyo Yuden.

I haven't burned a disc in probably close to a decade at this point though. SpiderOak is my backup.
If it's a 128 language loop is it fair to describe it as ruby?

The other 127 languages presumably have all the information so you should be able to start and end at any language?

I guess in its current implementation the ruby code is the code that ends the loop? But that is optional?
Most Australian coal plants are scheduled to be closed before 2050, and the timeline keeps shifting closer and closer, because they're becoming economically unsustainable[0].

This is projected to cause problems to the energy market's ability to provide reliable baseload power from now until the 2030s, but crucially, it's not government mandated. Coal plants are increasingly expensive to run, because renewables are eating their profits during the day and they're barely recouping that at night.

When I first came to Linux I adopted Transmission. It seemed less featureful than others but now I like its simplicity, does everything it needs and it is also very reliable.

It is not very known but there actually is a transmission-cli for common torrent operations that may come in handy some time.
Open source discord bot that puts a community in direct control of what it tweet
As more collaborative communities move to Discord, CHORUS is a way for a group of individuals to tweet directly from a shared account. We are making CHORUS open source and free for any community to use.
Stalin's personal motivation was world domination. Just Lenin before him and other USSR leaders later. Ribentrop-Molotov pact secret protocols wasn't „self defence“. Even though both parties knew they'll eventually go to war against each other.

I didn't study Stalin's proposal to Finland that much, but essentially it was same deal as for other Baltic states. Take our military bases for „defence“ and we may sweeten the deal a little bit with a gift. Because who cares if we're going to annex you next summer one way or another :) Couldn't do that in 1920, but USSR thought it's strong enough in 1939.

For example Lithuania and Vilnius case. Well, so nice of him to give back historical capital, isn't it :) Just to use sweeten the deal of installing army bases in Lithuania-proper and then using them to annex the whole country next summer.
I can find you probably enough "1/1000 or what photography is" to make up for at least 75%.

Sports is the example I had on hand because it's one of the things I do most. But kids, pets, portraits, architecture, wildlife...
It’s already hard enough to show my kid the wonder of a sky full of stars.
I like having true 4k media that I don't have to suffer through shitty streaming for, which often doesn't deliver the true bitrate of the media.

Also I can go to rarbg and find whatever I want, whenever I want, without ever needing to check whether this or that service has this or that particular movie. It's like how Netflix used to be, a single directory for all media, only even better due to the aforementioned constant and high bitrate.

On Thursday, Brazilian police seized gold bars, luxury watches, piles of cash, and others as part of a campaign against a group accused of implementing a multimillion-dollar international pyramid scheme using fake investments in cryptocurrencies.
SimulaVR should see this as a massive endorsement and indicate they are the one company that threatens the behemoth and are open for investors.

In fact they should consider changing their motto to "Injunctioned by Meta"
Yes, but "The Copy Data Bay" just doesn't have the same ring to it.
What are the tests that people have to take to gain US citizenship?

While people born in the US automatically have citizenship, my personal belief is that people should have to pass the citizenship tests to get the right to vote.

btw, I'm in Australia, and our voting is compulsory (or at least being enrolled and being crossed off as submitting a ballot paper, the vote itself is secret).

I think if we're going to set tests for citizenship for foreigners before they're allowed to become citizens, why shouldn't the same tests apply to locals?

> Transmission's long-standing history of going years between updates and their significant market share simply is not healthy

Agree that it's been a long time but isn't this V4 release about to speed up development? New cleaner codebase, new contributors, ...
These comments are a nice reminder that my time on this earth is my most precious asset.
Ah yes, that makes sense. But is that PDF really the most minimal form? I can imagine if we write a program using lets:

let nil = \n c. n;
let cons = \hd tl n c. c hd tl;
let map = ...;
body

And compile it as:

(\nil cons map. body) (\n c. n) (\hd tl n c. c hd tl) (...)

That we would get a more minimal form. But I cannot verify in what form the lambda expression in the PDF is. It just seems unbelievably large to me.
My biggest problem with BT / Transmission is that they dont work well with DNS Ad blocking solution. As the BT client will quickly swamp and use up all available DNS quota for torrents. I am wondering if anyone has a solution to that?
Love these blogs where someone casually demonstrates skills in roughly 11 different areas (from Soldering, C++ plugin writing to clear blog writing) all coming together to accomplish something.
The 8 Plus was the first to have extra camera capabilities on the Plus/Max model.
Write it on their github maybe?
Also I would be interested, how many people there use a VPN for torrents?
That's too optimistic :P
I let a divorce ruin me mentally during a pivotal year of my company. Had a rough valuation of ~100MM and blew my top 3 market position because I let my ex convince me that it was all my fault that our relationship failed. In reality she was just struggling with being gay. I stopped paying attention at work for about 18 months in an attempt to “save my family” but I just ended up losing everything. Oh well.
I wish I had asked my dad more things and recorded/wrote them down.

My old man is in for stage 4 cancer and it gets harder to ask him things. Every little tidbit of info he gave me over the years I cherish greatly, but I often times (read: nearly always) forget the context or nuance of the statement, meaning that, of the thousands of moments I’ve had with him, only a select few are ones that provide me any insight into who he is/was and/or advice for my life. The rest are just passing thoughts that make me think “damn my dad was cool”, which is good in its own regard, but certainly not the same.
The lawyer's thread is wrong. Sodium nitrate is used in aquariums. I've purchased similar lab-grade chemicals for use in mine.
Like DNA or living organisms: digital data has to be kept "live" to truly be secure, replicating itself somewhat regularly. Attempts to store it statically are cost-prohibitive or fail at much higher rates than claimed. Worse if the technology is on a down-hill trend because manufacturers focusing on quality are the first to go out of business (higher expenses in a shrinking market).

You can ask the Floppy King about that - near the end of 3.5" floppy manufacturing they saw astronomical rates of failure, 30-50%.

Similarly the quality of CD-Rs definitely took a nose-dive. I'm fairly certain the tail end of "20+ year" CD-R/DVD-R discs won't last as long as claimed but YMMV.
Fallout doesn't respect human borders. To this day, if you're out hunting game or collecting shrooms in Bavaria, you're well advised to test them for Chernobyl fallout, and required to do so if you're selling it [1]. At the start of last year, that made the headlines in regional papers as a hunter brought in a wild pig that was twice over the radiation limit [2].

The biggest problem are the shrooms because they actively seek out and concentrate radioactive elements in the ground for whatever reason, and then the wildlife eats the contaminated shrooms, further concentrating the radioactivity.

"Assuming there are 500 reactors in use in the world, the above CDF estimates mean that, statistically, one core damage incident would be expected to occur somewhere in the world every 40 years for the 2003 European Commission estimated average accident rate or every 100 years for the 2008 Electric Power Research Institute estimated average accident rate." [1]

"5 serious accidents in 60 years represents an actual historic global annual risk of 1/12 or 8.3% per annum" [2]

If it's any consolation, you probably would have lost it all in Mt. Gox's blowup anyway. (At least that's what I tell myself :))
Good reminder, anyway even transformers can already swipe their worth.
I was always interested in IT, but studied business instead because my parents thought IT would be too stressful.

Ended up programming a distributed simulation optimization tool for my master thesis (in business), while already doing multiple online startups.

Do I regret not studying CS and following a SWE career? I really don't know because many skills from the business side have served me well too. Would I have started those companies without understanding customers, marketing, accounting, taxation, investing?

So I try not to regret things because I don't know the alternate timeline. Could be better, could be worse.
Note that this seems to be a relatively old project, first commits from 2015. The project seems active, but most of the work seems to have been done around its inception, with some significant activity from 2020 onwards. Speculation/interpretation: So this might be a project that was used internally by some company, but perhaps not any more, and they've decided to open-source it at some point (2017-2018?) because some folks were/are still excited about it and want to keep developing it.

This might explain some of the "why yet another RocksDB-based KV store?" line of questioning.
Why use this, when there's qBittorent?
I’ve been a software engineer for many years, I stick at it because I enjoy it. Paying well is secondary. It requires a lot of focus, but the enjoyment of solving problems and being creative, is what drives me, not financial. That’s why I still do it. If you can find that enjoyment, don’t worry about not catching up, it will come.

I read the number of developer jobs doubles every 5 years. So with 5 years experience you’d be in the top 50%
I can't say I've noticed this, and I'm a little surprised DNS gets much use in bittorrent at all, is the client doing rDNS on peers or something?
'dns quota'? Are you trying to use an abacus as your DNS server?

Torrents typically don't do more than a few thousand DNS lookups - which isn't much more than a few people browsing the web.

And most of those lookups are just for showing pretty flags and country codes in the UI, and aren't needed anyway.

Curious what do you call respect?
I suspect it is too expensive to build closed offices for everyone. But what I don’t understand is why there are (almost) never a mix. A large open office room for normal work but also have a good portion of offices available for deep work that can be used on an ad-hoc basis.
