And then the third-party doctrine applies and they can tap you without a warrant and nail you for your private friend message board where you discussed smoking a joint or getting an abortion, if cloudflare complies. A main advantage of self-hosted in the home is supposed to be basic 4th amendment protections.

It's illegal for the federal or state gov to read US mail correspondence or tap phone lines without a warrant and should be for digital stuff too, but the third-party doctrine totally undercuts it.
That's not what they said though. It was within the 3 sigma error bars of the amount of deflection, if at the edge of them.

Carmack never made interesting worlds, settings or themes. That was done by others. His brilliance came from making tech and tools that could bring those worlds to life in an era when the tech seemed impossible.

Yet VR is just so much harder, no one person alone can really polish to the level needed for mass market adoption. Heck even Doom (1993) era tech still makes a significant part of the population sick.
I had good results using Remmina (https://remmina.org/) for RDP to a Windows host from a Raspberry Pi. The only thing that let it down at the time was a lack of "clean" multi-monitor support. I'm not sure if it's been improved in the year since I last tried, but you could fudge that by creating a single window that was 2x monitors wide.
One of Meta’s moto is “we’re only 1% there” or something to that effect. I could imagine that it’d be really cool if they did that every year and it gets better and better and then we look back at the first ones and see the huge progression. I’m excited personally
I disagree; racism is racism regardless of the class situation of the target.
A small number of people have promoted the idea that if a class is not systematically oppressed, it can't be a target of racism, but that's wrong. It was picked up by the mainstream press and promoted as an idea for a while, but it's wrong.

> The fact that Facebook fully controls the software and hardware platform is just a huge additional turnoff.

I'm actually quite optimistic: I don't see a reason why Meta will be the only player in VR.

I don't think long term they can maintain a moat on a hardware level - other headset producers will pop up once the tech is better understood and we may end up with a situation similar to what we currently have in the console world (2-3 big players and a few niche ones).

I think Meta sees that and are trying to build a moat on a social-networking level and, honestly, I don't know how well that will work.

I must admit that I use jQuery also for very few lines, when I set up a mockup or something and just want to add some quick interactions. It is so convenient to just write $(".thisClass").show(); for example.

But I get it, if that page would be loaded by thousands of people each day, you may not want to make them all to load an extra jQuery file for what you could have written instead as a Script tag in a HTML file.
What does AR open up for boxing that VR doesn't? Genuinely asking as I'm a fellow ToTF fan. I just can't conceive what kind of enticing features would you introduce to the game in an AR headset?
There kinda is missing space time. Everything inside the event horizon is fundamentally separate from everything outside. It takes an infinite amount of time (from the perspective of an exterior observer) for something to fall into the event horizon, and it is fundamentally impossible for anything inside to get out.
I can explain it, but you won’t like it:

* Entire economy is right now controlled by FED and mega funds like Blackrock. What Engineers or public think is at the moment is unimportant, entire shift to Metaverse is directed by these mega funds / mega investors.

* So, people that control the economy desperately want Metaverse to happen.

* The reason is that they believe Metaverse will give much needed bread circuses to citizens and keep them happy during the incoming calamities like climate change.

* Moreover, they can easily forcefully strap low income workers to VR/AR glasses and control them more effectively during the work.

* Though there are couple of major problem with this plan.

* Most of the companies working in this area is just interested in suckering the investments. This is very similar to blockchain startups.

* Public won’t be very interested in AR tech, and forcing AR top down will actually create genuine social issues.

> unit tests printed some weird error

I am not aware of a common issue like that but D has bugs.

> Also importC isn't what you think it is

That's contrary to my tests: I installed libplot on my system, 'import'ed its .h file to my D source code, called C functions from D, linked with -L-lplot and it worked.

> not importing foreign C libs you've installed on your system

Maybe you mean something else with "importing" but I installed a foreign C library on my system and it just worked without any hand-written D bindings for it.
Piling-on to the "my old web server back in the day" comments:

Back in 2000-01 I had a box at home hosting a webcam pointed at my cats' food bowls. I was working a lot so I liked to see them. I could also make sure they still had food when I had an extended 36 hour work session. It just pulled still frames. I never did work out streaming.

I installed an X10 module and wired it up to a CGI so I could turn on the lamp by the bowls when it was dark. The click of the relay would reliably bring the cats to investigate. Hit the page, see blackness. Press the "Turn on light" button. Refresh the page and see the light on. Count to 30, refresh again, and one or two cats would be in the frame sniffing around the relay and food bowls.

Going back to BBS days:

I wrote a BBS "door" for a friend's board that captured a 320x200 frame from a composite video feed, stored it as a 16 color grayscale GIF, and sent it to the caller via Zmodem.

The frame grabber had some a crappy command-line program that required a keypress to initiate capture. I hacked the program to NOP out the loop and just immediately capture.

At 9600 baud or higher the download time for the GIF was pretty tolerable-- 30 seconds or less. If I recall properly GIF89 had better compression and sped things up a bit too.

The composite video feed came a surveillance camera in gym my friend ran downstairs. I added a call to a command-line VOC file player to play a chime out the speakers in the gym couple seconds before the capture began.

Later we added an option to allow the caller to upload a VOC file to be played in the gym and optionally receive 5 seconds of recorded audio from the gym along with their video frame.

Fun times.

Again, just to clarify, the 4×6 font is (at least mostly, maybe entirely, I don't remember) the work of Janne V. Kujala in 4x6.bdf, as distributed by Markus Kuhn and now included in XFree86 (and presumably X.org, unless they've dropped BDFs entirely). The XLFD is -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--6-60-75-75-c-40-iso10646-1, so you can try it by running

xterm -fn -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--6-60-75-75-c-40-iso10646-1

My proportional n×6 and 3×n fonts are derived from it.
I think it's valiant for a company to strive to create diversity within the organization that's reflective of their locale, but it seems many are trying to simply hire people with certain combinations of demographics and qualifications that are rare or non-existent. A more far-sighted solution is required, where private industry starts investing in education (in an equity-focused manner) to create the diverse, qualified workforce that they need.

This is an enormous subsidy to residential PV. Electricity wholesalers would love to be able to sell it to the grid at retail prices, like you are. Instead, they sell it for something like a quarter of retail price. This huge subsidy is only sustainable for so long as the PV penetration is low in residential market.
The idea is equality of opportunity.

Of course, it is not possible to implement this in any grand, all-encompassing, perfect manner. But that does not mean that it shouldn't be a goal.
Wokeness is first and foremost a legal phenomenon. You must check the box, because your manager must check the box, because the VP must check the box, because otherwise some regulator or lawyer might get angry and sue.

That's what I mean. It never returns 0, so is thus always truthy if it finds something.

If you do `if (str.indexOf("a"))` in javascript; you'll miss out on the case where the string starts with "a", because the index returned 0, which is falsy.

EDIT: Oh, sorry, I see what you mean. You're right, my bad.

EDIT2: I guess, let me rephrase. 0 is rarely returned for things, so the falsiness of it doesn't usually enter into the equation. So you can do things like that, regardless of the truthiness of 0, because it's not used, whereas in other langauges, you usually have to check, unless they have 0 as truthy as well. (though I guess this isn't much of an argument in favour of 1-indexes)

> There's a genre of explaining Russia that is popular this year. Lets call it Kotkinism.

Just out of curiosity, how are you deriving Kotkinism? What is it etymology?

> We want to understand it, but we don't. We either admit we don't understand their motivations, or we conjure justifications that make sense to us because they fit our framework of the world, even if they are not true.

How is it that we don't understand it? I would think there are studied perspectives that can give understanding to the patterns in Russian society. As a followup what would it look like to understand it?

> But I don't think 7 hours of cold hands rummaging through bare store shelves, shuffling babushkas, and men making ad-hoc repairs to cars will help me understand Russian aggressiveness. Maybe Russian suffering.

Sure that's a nice libertarian framing of the issue. I would love to be able to hire whoever I want, with no say from anyone else, for my companies.

But that's not what the law says.

Title VII of the CRA 1964 says:

> It shall be an unlawful employment practice for an employer—
(1)to fail or refuse to hire or to discharge any individual, or otherwise to discriminate against any individual with respect to his compensation, terms, conditions, or privileges of employment, because of such individual’s race, color, religion, sex, or national origin; or
(2)to limit, segregate, or classify his employees or applicants for employment in any way which would deprive or tend to deprive any individual of employment opportunities or otherwise adversely affect his status as an employee, because of such individual’s race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.

So I guess you want to repeal the law?
> okcupid is leftist tinder for relationships

Your experience may have location bias? I.e. where did you use OKC?

I used it in Europe (2010--2011, mostly Germany and Italy) and Asia (2011-2013, Hong Kong) and Europe again (2014--now mostly Berlin & Hamburg) and my experiences were/are very different.

People are from the full political spectrum. Very right people are the outlier though, admittedly.

In Berlin there is a leftist bias but this is pretty newish (wasn't like this at all, when I started using OKC again in Europe in 2014).

Edit: spelling
At some companies, that goes up 2 levels. At other companies, everyone above you can read it, but they rarely do (past your grand-manager).

Each friend's Nomad "client" (a node in the cluster) would accept a "job" which is the HTTP server.

> the REST of Linux really sucks for laptops, with all the hardware-specific tweaks needed

Just to state the obvious, "hardware-specific tweaks" are hardware-specific. It is not hard, these days, to buy hardware where everything just works out of the box.

Working in tech, I don't see a system that rewards and uplifts whiteness. Asians (both East and from the subcontinent) are greatly overrepresented relative to their fraction of the US population in SWE jobs. Their skin color was never a factor. Most of the ones I've worked with/interviewed, were hired due to merit, not the color of their skin.

That richer and more well educated Indians are over-represented in tech jobs and as CEOs of major tech companies relative to those with fewer resources and less well educated is not surprising.

I am not sure what's the relevance of the skin color of those who allegedly imposed the system that led to this particular group being at the top of the socioeconomic hierarchy in India today. How did that result in "uplifting whiteness"?
It absolutely is racist and dividing the country more and more. It’s not ok to hate white people.

Once you realize the goal of NRC (Nuclear Regulatory Commission) is to prevent Nuclear power plants to be built in USA, there is not much hope.

I wonder what would happen if you stored the columns in separate tables (perhaps pairs of columns?) and queried them with a join off a shared ID (perhaps a view or materialized view?) in order to really take advantage of compression’s ability to compress highly self-similar data located together, highly.

> It’s no longer about equality of opportunity, it’s about equality of outcome.

Perfect equality of opportunity can only be achieved if everyone has 0 opportunity and the same outcome. Because if you can work hard to give your children a better life, that means that someone with parents who don't work hard will start worse off, with fewer opportunities. Optimizing solely for equality of opportunity inevitably leads to commie hellhole; instead, optimize for absolute opportunity (both average and minimum).

IMO:

If it makes sense to "open in new tab" then it should be a link. Otherwise it's a button.

Corollary: If it's a link then middle-clicking on it better open it in a new tab! There are way too many times that this was broken by JS with the href just being set to "#" or something, but clicking the link, copying the new URL, opening a new tab, pasting the url, going back to the original page and hitting "back" did exactly what I wanted. Don't do this!
We can just agree that it should be a button and is only a link because of the limited HTML subset available in emails.
Eh no.
