Tesla's China-made sales hit record following Shanghai factory upgrade
Inkscape's format is just SVG, so any tool that can do SVG-PDF will do. I've seen cairosvg, imagemagick and rsvg used for this, but if your deployment allows, it does make the most sense to use inkscape from the CLI to avoid any inconsistencies:

$ inkscape rendered.svg --export-pdf=output.pdf

I think there's also a way to do batch processing where you don't need to spin up a new inkscape process for each file (which takes time), but I don't remember how it works anymore.
How about "finding the site that best supports independent booksellers"?

The Macintosh – The many facets of a slightly flawed gem (1984)
It’s worth noting (much to my surprise) that the Feynman lectures on physics weren’t written entirely by Feynman. I’ve often wondered whether the wonderful conversational style I’ve associated with him is actually him, or one of his contemporaries.

Either way, this is a great chapter on probability. Thanks to whoever wrote it!
I find it very much interesting as well. Would you be available for an informal chat?
I've been using Python with tree-sitter on neovim for many months. It's great, and has a lot of improvements when compared with the old syntax system.

Re Hare: I haven't even set that one up. Setting up a new tree-sitter on neovim requires extra work for each tree-sitter, and that's definitely a flaw that needs to be addressed.
How to Learn Emacs (2012)
Government loan subsidies, government loan guarantees, additional subsidies in the mortgage interest rate deduction, local government paying for infrastructure (roads/utilities), ...

perhaps I take a broader definition of public works than you do.

Also, say a city or state government wants to build a low-cost/low-income housing (or take historical examples if you will), the type of undesirable stuff the parent was talking about. Who do you think actually does the building work? Is it government employees, or is it sub'ed out to private builders and contractors?

And if it is government workers, can you please explain why say the Army Corps of Engineers would be better or worse at building a bridge than say a private contractor? Which of the two is more incentivized to cut corners and do things on the cheap wherever possible?
Glad they had the nerve to diverge from the standard vim keybinds.

(For those who like the traditional vim binds, I salute you, but I have craved an upgrade for a while now)
Rust is very popular and its ecosystem is still developing.
Performance is on par with C while the codebase is easier to maintain, so replacements for other programs written in Rust are often popular.

Although I would say that the programming language a project is written in is generally useful information, so it's other languages not being mentioned enough, not Rust being mentioned too often.
Microsoft in 1999 was not the same company it is today and did some very unethical things. For example:

https://www.itprotoday.com/windows-78/ibm-microsoft-warned-p...

Other articles report that computer producers were given Windows "for free" as long as they did not offer nor support OS/2 on their hardware. Microsoft applied this practice for a few years and indeed lost income by giving Windows for free, but it ensured that the regular user never heard of OS/2 and then when IBM gave up the situation changed. Besides, Microsoft would still make money from Office and other products.
The components look really good but I don't quite get why the instructions make you create a new Next.js app? I understood this would work in any React app/framework and doesn't have any opinions on server-side rendering etc.

This is about colonoscopy screening. If you give a fecal sample and it comes up as suspicious, the next step will be a colonoscopy anyway.

A colonoscopy is quite unpleasant; you starve for a day, and take an enema. They may sedate you before the procedure. If they don't, then the procedure is quite uncomfortable; not exactly painful, but unpleasant.

Incidentally, if they find and remove a polyp, they will plant a tattoo inside your gut to mark the spot, for the benefit of future spelunking visitors.
A bigger concern is that it's expensive to be poor.

Javascript has a standard library. What Javascript doesn't have is a robust kitchen-sink library akin to other more complex general purpose programming languages, because Javascript was designed to be used in the context of a browser to script webpages, and its actual standard library reflects that.

Unsurprisingly, because we've apparently decided Javascript needs to replace all existing languages in all current and future forms of application and system development, its actual standard library is no longer sufficient for many peoples' requirements. But they would rather claim the language "has no standard library" in order to justify the insane complexity of the JS ecosystem than admit that perhaps it just isn't the right tool for every job.
I guess it depends where you are. I'm in Finland and it is common to see seven/eight year old children walking to school, or taking the bus/tram.

Over half the people I know commute to offices, on the days they attend, via busses and trams. Those that live further-afield might take their cars, but the use of public transport is extremely common in the bigger cities like Helsinki.
I think you’re overestimating the ability of having a FAANG on your CV. It might help you to get an interview, that’s kinda all.

Unless you’re were an early employee, in which case you’re probably going for co-founder roles anyway, that’s if you haven’t retired already.
That's not true, mass layoffs are usually announced and get a lot of press

The difference here is the "layoffs" are that they are changing performance targets so more people get fired over the year instead of laying off a bunch of people at once
nice link (if you are clicking it directly) :)
I guess that step is for people who have nothing. If you already have a application, just skip that step?
Seems the only way to prove the test itself reduces deaths is to force unhealthy/irrresponsible people to get colonoscopies. Is there another approach?
Why is that? Looks like any other documentation for any other random library. What exactly stands out to you here?

Great to see extensive documentation of course, but "from another world"? Might want to qualify that statement a bit at least :)
I think it's pretty typical for this type of attack to be put up, run for a few hours, and then be taken down. It will then be put up again on another domain with new code so automated scanners can't link the two.

During those hours, no client will be served twice. By doing it via an ad network, they can make the payload only run once per impression that they bidded on. That means even an advanced user will really struggle to get a copy of the payload.

The code will typically also check if it's running in a VM and will clean up after itself, all to make analysis more difficult.

Post install, the software usually reports to a C&C server and then sits idle till instructed to do something. So far, on installations I've done on test machines, I have never detected any activity beyond this - I guess they do a spray approach, and then only direct specific targets to upload files or anything else.
There is (was?) an internal (MSFT) system named Source Depot (sd). It may even be the case that he created it...

> the best _text editor_

Code is text. So it is good to have a very good text editor for manipulating it as text. But code is also very different from plain text. It is highly structured. When I think about code I think about it as some kind of syntax tree (call hierarchies etc) . I don't think about it as character buffers. So if I am programming and I can have something that supports good text editing but also good tree editing then I will take that over something that only does good text editing.

I'm sorry, but this seems like total FUD. Yes, We're coming out of the most insane time ever in the history of the planet to be a software developer, but that doesn't mean there's any reason for new entrants to the industry to despair. People might be popping fewer bottles of champaign for the next little while, but compared to the US economy overall software workers are still living incredibly privileged lives. If you can code, no matter your years of experience, there's a job for you out there.

People should not use Facebook as some kind of canary in the coal mine for tech companies overall. Facebook's star is no longer rising due to recent privacy changes on the Apple platform, but the software sector overall will continue to grow. I don't believe Facebook's decline is some kind of harbinger for the entire industry, since most of the industry is not dependent on violating user privacy to the extent that Facebook has over the last 15 years or so.

And even if the core of what you say is true and the industry overall is headed for contraction, I don't believe the pain will last anywhere near 5 years. Even in the present "crisis" state, anybody with any talent should be able to find a new position in a few months. Looking back to the 2008 crisis, most people were back on track well before the 5-year anniversary.

TLDR: Don't listen to the doomsayers. Even with recent headwinds, I believe tech is still the highest value play for most young people entering the industry today. Unless you've got the chops and the prestige resume to be top of the class at a top law or business program, this is your best shot so you should commit mentally to doing whatever is necessary to maintain your place here. Even if there are a couple lean years, you're going to come out ahead in the long run as one of the people who knows how to control the machines.

It would be unethical to refuse to invite someone with a family history of colon cancer. Thus I think it is perfectly reasonable to assume there is something different.
It is a recommendation, I guess. Works fine in pure react.
They not only change the keybindings, they change the editor paradigm from a verb-noun model (dw = delete word) to a noun-verb (wd = select word, then delete) model. Multiple cursors also have an effect.

It's pretty close to vim keybindings, but the paradigm change makes it incompatible with 1:1 keybindings.

That said, coming from 15+ years of Vim, I was felt pretty much immediately at home with Kakoune, and dropped right in to Helix with comfort.

No, but you need to account for it when considering efficacy, because people who choose to follow through on treatments may also be taking other steps that may also improve their outcomes, and it can be hard to tease out because the mere act of telling them they should have a screening might change other behaviours even without being prompted by doctors in a way that's recorded.

E.g. it's a reasonable hypothesis that patients who are more motivated to show up might also be more motivated to look up possible causes and what other steps they can take to improve their chances.

In other words, it's reasonable to expect people who comply to potentially get better at a higher rate than the efficacy of a single treatment, and teasing out how much of this effect is due to the intervention itself and how much is due to changed behaviour due to the referral is hard.
On a Latinamerican keyboard (yet, that's a thing), the brances are not as convenient. IIRC, the ~ symbol isn't even around. Semicolon is shift+right right finger -- super odd compared to just pinky. And ^ is behind right-alt (the one in the photos shows where, but many don't actually have it printed on the keycap).

Here's a photo of the layout: https://image.shutterstock.com/shutterstock/photos/279261125...

As an Argentinian, I've no fucking idea why we have our own layout instead of just using ISO Spanish.

It doesn't look terrible, but believe me, switching to US English International was a one-way trip.

Having sweeped some area with a magnet already to find sharp stuff harmful to grazing animals: rather unpractical because either you need a ridiculously strong magnet (to the point it becomes dangerous to handle it, moreover in areas with ironstone it attracts huge amounts of tiny debris), or it needs to be only a cm above the surface. And not all screws and nails are magnetic.

the problem with bittorrent is, if you seed n torrents at the same time. Thats n different pools to keep up to, n dhts to manage, and so on.. With ipfs you seed blocks (folders,files,content) and it does not matter how much, the inital overhead stays the same.
e.g. apt could never use torrents due to the amount of small packages.
If you're looking for a GUI, the Okular document viewer (by KDE) can sign them just fine, as can LibreOffice (but I don't like how it handles key storage on Linux).
For something much more powerful (where you can tweak every possible signature parameter), take a look at jsignpdf - the UI isn't exactly friendly, but it works more reliably than anything else and I've never seen a reader that didn't accept its signature (Adobe Reader likes to sometimes ignore signatures from other tools for no good reason, but never jsignpdf).

As for libraries, you can use jsignpdf from the CLI, PyHanko for Python and probably even more that I don't know.

If you only have to work 10 hrs/week, what are you doing in the other 40? You could be learning useful skills, working on a side-hustle, etc. Your failed side projects to date suggests that you might not be looking at real problems that need to be solved.

You have an opportunity that many people would be delighted to have. Of course, you could always quit and get a "better" job and let somebody else have your problems and income.
One of the great joys I’ve discovered recently is learning when and how to rest. The “when” being a feeling thing and the how I’ve found long form TV shows to provide a good space for that.

I think the real reason HFR isn’t used much in cinema is that it ends up exposing a lot of the choreography, set design, special effects, etc. as fake, where before our brains filled in the details due to the low information rate and blurry frames.

Watch either of Ang Lee’s HFR movies (Billy Lynn/Gemini Man) and you’ll understand what I mean. HFR breaks suspension of disbelief. I didn’t want this to be true but I’ve come to accept that it doesn’t really have a place in cinema at least for now.
I haven't looked at ad malware for many years, but when I did, it infected the MBR, so reinstalling Windows alone wouldn't remove it. I had to rebuild the MBR. I definitely recommend doing any live testing in a VM on a dedicated testing device. Who knows what sneakier persistence techniques are out there now?

I can easily believe that this is a grassroots group (we see many examples of that, in many areas, even in childhood), but this did prompt a few questions:

1. Is there any advantage to nation having cyber attack deniability via being able to at least semi-plausibly claim that, although an attack appeared in the interests of the nation, it was by an independent grassroots group, out of the nation's control? If so, would they establish identities for those supposed independent groups ahead of time?

2. Let's say you're a nation with cyber capabilities that are advanced but spread thin. If you're filling the human resource deficit with lower-skilled workers, and not giving them access to your advanced tools for their tasks, would you be concerned that that looks like cyber weakness? If so, would you distinguish the lower-skilled workers from your main brand, and if so, how?

3. Is there any worthwhile external-PR or internal-morale benefit, to appearing to have the active support of independent groups?

McDonald's event-driven architecture – a gist
My take is that companies hired like crazy during the pandemic and these people will be junior employees who have larger overhead, smaller output. Problem with tech right now is that it

1. Failing to justify valuations that were reached during the pandemic. Which come crashing down when interest rates starts rising. So many got caught with unsustainable budgets and commitments

2. Mass quitting that happened during the pandemic which was plugged frivolously by mass^2 hiring.

I don't think tech companies are going anywhere before getting their lost employees back. My thesis is, layoffs will impact new/young hires and newly created units/departments

reminds me of the book by a plastic surgeon himself

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psycho-Cybernetics

from wikipedia:

Maltz found that his plastic surgery patients often had expectations that were not satisfied by the surgery, so he pursued a means of helping them set the goal of a positive outcome through visualization of that positive outcome.[3] Patients thinking that surgery will solve their problems is an example of the XY problem. Maltz became interested in why setting goals works. He learned that the power of self-affirmation and mental visualization techniques used the connection between the mind and the body. He specified techniques to develop a positive inner goal as a means of developing a positive outer goal. This concentration on inner attitudes is essential to his approach, as he believes that a person's outer success can never rise above the one visualized internally.

Reading this comment takes me back to covid era rumors
I have tried using it few times but I didn't see much benefit of using it, I am mostly working with python/django/javascript/react and by now most of the common functions I already know, so I didn't see much use of it and tbh it felt a bit distracting to me when a big hover definition came when I am typing something.

The times when I don't remember how something works, usually I have to go the stackoverflow answers/documentation to read on how it works, maybe try it out a few times in the shell, before writing the code. For typechecking and errors I have been using ALE and it does give a warning if there's something wrong and this setup is working fine for me.
Sure if 'employment' is slinging burgers.

The fact is in America at least, folks have been sliding down the occupation ladder for a generation. Somebody who used to manage a shift at a factory is now selling shoes or a security guard. An office manager becomes a McDonald's manager. And so on and so on.

So sure, be comforted by employment statistic, but remember that the govt has been obsessing over them for half a century, and they don't reflect wealth or happiness. Witness the fraction of us that can't afford a house.
