You've hit on an uncomfortable conclusion, which is that these highly-paid youths and those with similar salaries do not care about consequences that barely affect their social class.
I believe Podverse does that. It's an F-Droid podcast app with a paid subscription. I don't love it overall but like you I believe clips are a good feature.
Now, Android does this and only this, which is insane. It won't let you grant access to the main storage, Downloads or any other standard folder even if you explicitly navigate to it and select it.
"and instead have your case decided by the judge."

Oh God no. This is even worse. In my limited experience, judges can be very biased. They tend to be very unaccommodating as to what reasonable doubt is (it's whatever they say it is).
It doesn't even gather any additional energy, once you factor in transmission losses from the very inefficient long distance power beaming.

Unless you're trying to build solar power north of the arctic circle I really don't see the need for such systems.
I did that, then I switched to godot and the godot project is further along despite the fact that the site now needs to download 20MB (18MB is the engine itself). Who cares? The only thing that matters is that it works and that people don't have to install it on their computer.

A game engine is a good fit for what I'm doing (simulation and 2D visualization) so why bother assembling it out of a dozen hand picked fragile JS libraries just to shave off seconds on something that will be used for tens of minutes once it is started up?
Dark Mode thought: As someone who uses an OLED screen, I want dark mode to feature true black. This makes a huge difference for me. I get quite annoyed with any dark mode that is mostly "dark grey" as opposed to just black. I want all of those dark pixels emitting no light at all. This is much easier on the eyes, and takes full advantages of the wonders of OLED. This is especially important for mobile, where many, many people now have OLED screens.
- Ethereum has no "owners". ENS is fully decentralized. There is no "they" to fork anything.

- There is no need to have exchanges involved in that.

- ENS has a token, but is not required for people who just want to buy a domain (they use ETH)

Quit the senseless FUD
i relly liked this. i think its worth sharing.
it was posted in topic here. if u want u can find OP of it via my posts. i thanked him for posting this. imo beatifull song. authentic..
The latter; I think it’s folly to deny that social, political, economical, intellectual “caste” systems or hierarchies form naturally on their own, and that they can somehow be abolished through government policy. The beauty of America is that we can break through these barriers if we are truly exceptional and deserve it. And yes, if you are intelligent enough to leverage nepotism, you deserve it. I expect that we will fundamentally disagree on this, as is our right to as free thinking individuals.
Groningen is an outlier in using Google Workspace for email iirc. Most of the Dutch universities I came into contact with (including the one I used to attend) were deep into on-prem Exchange, with some moving to O365.
Great idea, but landscape is not very realistic, I'm driving next to sea or huge lake going uphill, then driving further away from sea, all the time going uphill and after some time I'm back at coast at same elevation where I started while going all the time uphill and NEVER going downhill.

Also why is autodrive driving in the middle of the road and not in the correct lane?
Caps wiki – cataloging information on repairing caps, ICs, batteries, belts
Looks amazing! Interesting to see the fully integrated approach. Working on gitpaper.com, which takes the bring-your-own-static-site-generator (byossg TM) route.

Really like the idea of keeping content in git, especially for smaller projects.
you can tap even on mobile on autodrive button and it will work fine
Of course. No one defies gender roles in the modern West. There are no large, media/ruling class celebrated subcultures of people who do not follow gender roles. All conform.

To be less tongue in cheek, no it’s not true. Life is harder if you’re weird but plenty of people are abnormal to the level of dysfunction and severe negative consequences and they get by. Plenty of others conform to gender roles and have a shit time anyway.

It’s a lot easier to make it as a member of the journalist class if you say what the author did about the patriarchy, of course.
True, but the share modal is terribly broken. It changes every version, the order of icons is different every time you open it, sometimes icons and app names are mixed up...
That is true, but only a tiiiiny fraction of all companies build office buildings.

If you're one of them, go get your datacenter.
Isn’t infosec more prone to emergencies?E.g., we have been hacked! Please help, or we are being DDOSed, etc. If any given company has an infosec team is because they are big enough that they are targets. Also, fixing security issues sounds to me worse than “just” fixing code issues.

One trick might be to relocate energy intensive industry to orbit.

Data centres could be one. Although metal processing, transport, and heating seem to be the largest energy consumers.

Of course making anti-matter, and using it as a store of energy is a possible option.

Actually antimatter could be trapped in the ionosphere.
IANAME (Mech. Engineer) - but I'd bet it was mostly known & boring physics (rates of thermal conduction, coefficients of thermal expansion, etc.), experience with the material being used (stress-strain curves, crack propagation, and such), and some differential equations that weren't all that hard to get approximate solutions to. A lot of things like this are "If you could get an "A" on the Mech. Engin. 407 final, then you could pretty much figure it all out."
How does the whole privacy minded ethos and ads work together?
I am not sure why your comment ended up killed. It is literally true that the highest paid tech workers are employed by very shady companies. I don't exclusively mean FAANGs but also outfits such as Palantir. A large plurality of other devs pursue the startup dream or hawk products of questionable utility.
Written so hastily they misquoted the "discount" offered (57%, when the clickthru clearly says 51%).
It’s completely different this time. 10 years ago, no one was manufacturing the 300 million+ high precision electronic devices with hundreds of parts that Apple alone is manufacturing. The supply chain is more intertwined and Apple alone has billions invested in tooling. Not to mention China itself has a population of 1 billion+. China is also a stable government.
I'm totally with you there.

We're just disagreeing when that point is reached.
If we're putting in requests, my two would be a forest setting (would allow the Autumn option to be more colorful - particularly with some Aspen) and a Mountain/steep valley option.

And yes, please advise when it's available for sale :-)

I purposely chose the simpler appearance earlier this year. Previously, a typical page looked like this:

https://web.archive.org/web/20220516010347/https://www.bryce...

Oddly, the sentiment I see most often in HN threads about website complexity is that a simpler look is better, but perhaps your experience is different. I definitely have done more complex things in 25 years of web dev, but I simply choose not to do so now.

Otherwise, I will let your reply stand for itself.
This played out in the news. The rescue lasted 28 hours, but he would have been stuck a few hours longer. I was horrified by it, but also remember being angry about the whole thing. John Edward Jones was 6' tall, 200lbs. (slightly above average weight), 26yo medical student with a wife and child. iirc, his being left in the cave was his final wish, his family negotiated for it, the local Sheriff's dept. was probably relieved about the idea, weary of spending resources rescuing people in trouble. They left his remains where stuck and sealed the cave. It was a popular cave, attracting thousands of tourists annually, but they made a special case for this one reckless thrill-seeker, likely highly intelligent who had amateur experience caving, but not much skill or common sense.

The one thing that is nearly always done is bringing the victim home, but here they did something so bazaar that I still can't quite get my head around it, his widow and child left with the thought that his final resting place was upside down and contorted. By the time he gave up and made his final wish, I do not think he was in his right mind, with support for this by his family in horror and grief, likely also not thinking clearly. Maybe it is for the best that they closed and sealed the cave, but leaving him in there was questionable and grotesque. I realize the circumstances were incredibly difficult, but when the rescue failed, all involved quickly took the path of least resistance rather than in consideration of how time changes things for the survivors. I don't know how one would come to terms with that; the tragedy seems left unresolved.
I imagine any bad actors who store IPs of torrent seeders have done so a long time ago already so your software will not do any harm that hasn't been done already.

Go for it and open-source it.
The Lake Mead National Recreation Area isn’t short on places to stay, though houseboat rentals remain an ever-popular choice. These floating vacation home rentals put you right where you want to be, serving up both comfort and privacy, along with the freedom to discover the lake’s best bits at your own pace.
Come on Walter, you're a very smart guy, you cannot possibly believe the nonsense you are saying x) In fact the very existence of several developed countries with much better educational systems (by almost any metric) than the US should clue you in on that.
No but it produces reliable solar power. Its never cloudy, and with the right alignment some part of it can always be in sun shine (do something with Lagrange halo orbits and a single installation can be continuously powered).

You also forget about the role of shareholders.
Is ad-segment or sponsor-segment free podcasts a thing?

I too pay for Spotify and I tried to get into some podcasts, starting with Darknet Diaries, but the ad and sponsor segments are just too jarring. I guess I'm not paying enough in my Spotify subscription to get it without that stuff, so who/what/where do I pay to get some podcasts I want to listen to without it?
High-Tech Brain
What I don't get is why does sending contacts need to be added to the privacy policy? The point of the policy is to state what you will and won't do in a legally binding way. If my privacy policy says "the app may access contacts locally, but that information never leaves the device", that means users can sue me if I break that promise and I could even be criminally prosecuted. What more assurance does Google need?
Remote working is exacerbating the urban-rural divide in the digital market
> There is no "they" to fork anything.

What? ENS is BSD licensed. Anyone can ‘fork’ it at any time.
> if you live in a cosmopolitan area of a developed country, you are much more likely to be employed through the digital platforms.’
>The question of who is watching the watchers has never more relevant

Hi! It's me. I'm an antifascist. I watch the watchers. It's caused me a lot of problems and is one of the reasons I no longer use LinkedIn.

I told Wikipedia to add a dot onion to take the load of exit nodes in my interview for privacy engineer.

The person I spoke to said they leave their cameras on all day while working, but maybe one of the interviewers was under surveillance because of the falder case? Or maybe due to my blunt nature I'm not a cultural fit there?

Anyways, I also expressed in the interview that Wikipedia is highly skewed towards the editors, when many people... just browse.

In closing, some people deserve to be told that it's not the Voice of America or the Central Intelligence Agency telling them to get in the ground with Jeffrey Epstein... but just one guy.

(And like I said to Mike Nelson in the hall at Hackers on Planet Earth: I'm not opposed to the assault weapons ban... and a revolver is a more reliable... but if you say you work with computers it's plausible you'd need to carry a multi-tool.)

PS: Someone may have hacked my phone. Or it crashed. I'm not in a hurry to recover a bunch of MFA flows or whatever. Happy spooky season!!
Where in my comment do you think I’ve confused a want and a need?
> Ethereum has no "owners". ENS is fully decentralized. There is no "they" to fork anything.

I think “They” once forked Ethereum to prevent DAO losses.
you're confusing web3 with crypto here. This is a very common mistake.

There is no centralized "owner". You can become part of the network just like anyone else. No single party can do anything you describe.

You also seem to being centralized exchanges to the discussion - they have no relevance here. Trading can be done in a decentralized fashion as well.
dyson sphere FTW
Neat, this is my project - thanks for sharing! For anyone interested, I have a brief overview post up on Medium while I work on a deeper technical write-up:

That's clearly not what forking means in this context. You can't make the existing "instance" run different code, and it's users don't have to care if you run your own modified copy.
Just burn the methane when it's cloudy and the batteries are flat instead of putting it in a rocket.
> What? ENS is BSD licensed. Anyone can ‘fork’ it at any time.

Forking a blockchain and forking a repository are completely different things. The comment was talking about the former.
I could see niche markets justifying SBSP, eventually.

One is laser powered aircraft. One could power jet engines directly with absorbed laser energy converted to heat, or use PV cells tuned to the laser wavelength to convert at higher efficiency than cells on sunlight (cooling these would be needed.) If this can be made to work the aircraft could have unlimited range.

Another possibility is direct exploitation of the beamed power in industrial settings without conversion back to electricity. For example, laser light might be used in a photochemical process. The Toray Process for making caprolactam might be suitable, but isn't that large a market; better would be some high mass flow scheme like photochemical processing of biomass-derived molecules to make fuels. Intense laser light might also be useful for heating high temperature furnaces, in place of arc heating. The beam could be focused by final reflective optics to high intensity.
Use a screen share or collaborative code editor.
FWIW I just had a support ticket open with them in the last week and they were very responsive and helpful.
This is really cool. Not only is it great technically (combo of open source and git-powered is so convenient) - you’ve also done a stellar job of designing the UI. This looks like a CMS an individual would choose over others based on UX alone.
It cannot run MicroPython but you can use Nim.

Thanks! I'll give that a go and at least add it as an optional alternative, if not the default :)
not sure if appearing competent enough to score a job is really dependent upon actually being a decent software developer
That is the kind of tired, cheap, wrong argument that it so easily debunked, but "skeptics" still keep using.

Let me see if you really interested in a healthy debate or just proud of your ignorance: do you know that when using web3 for domains, you'd still be running the email servers that use the traditional protocols? You won't be losing any of your messages. You'd still be authenticating against a traditional server.

There is nothing about using web3 for domains that would lead you to lost access to your data.
You're confusing educated with "educated". Proximity to the university system breeds pro-EU attitudes because the EU enforces a similar ideology in Europe to that found in universities. There's however plenty of people who are educated in the sense of having knowledge, skills, but who aren't close to the university system, who dislike the EU and voted against it.

Arguably the practice of conflating university degrees with education is harmful. Increasingly universities seem to focus on anything but education.
does arch still sometimes just break requiring manual intervention on updates? that's what turned me off last I used it, especially coming back to a machine you haven't used in a while trying to update it, but that must've been over half a decade by now so I don't know how things changed
It does, which meant the ISA has the strange requirement that you have to emit an 'emms' instruction once you're done using MMX or else x87 operations won't work.

This makes MMX very unpopular outside controlled situations, so compiler autovectorization doesn't support it.
I mean this is a fact of life for pretty much everything. You can’t opt out of USD if you want to participate in the global economy. You can’t opt out of barcode scanners if you want to purchase groceries. People will augment open standards with proprietary, 100% dependent processes either because they’re easier to work with or they same you money, and often that means customers in turn must interact with those proprietary systems to get anything done.

I exchange e-mails with people who don't use Gmail and it's pretty reliable. Let's not pretend that Google is the only company who knows how to run a mail server. In fact I have more problems with e-mails coming from Gmail accounts (low quality text/pain, broken threads, etc.).
Most providers now block Gmail addresses containing . or +
I'm sure a lot of Australians are quite fond of the bulletin introduction theme used on ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) radio and TV since the 1950s. The original recording and history is available on the National Film and Sound Archive[0]. A modern version[1] was introduced in 1988 and is still used today.

But the remixed version used on triple j since 1991 is my personal favourite. Triple j is the ABC's "youth-oriented" radio station so the news theme was updated to match. An actually interesting short segment discussing the remix with its creators can be found on the wayback machine[2]. The recording is from 2005 and the archived page features an `htm` file extension and instructions for how to download MP3s.

And that's why web3 frustrates me to no end. Decentralized services were common in the "old" internet, web3 just takes than and adds a layer of ponzi and speculation on top of them.

If bittorent was invented today you'd have to buy into some pyramid scheme to use it.

Beyond that having a trusted third party does suck for some things, but at least it means that I have a recourse if something goes wrong. With cryptocrap I'm one hack away from losing my life savings, my domain, the history of all my transactions and even my monkey pictures!
The next location I add may well be a denser forest in the mountains - I'm picturing tunnels, fog, and snow at higher elevations.

I don't plan to sell it, but you can follow my twitter for updates. I'd like to keep it freely available if I can :)

Typically the legislative branch handles impeachment, although in some states the judicial branch would also play a role in the process. We have a norm that officials are not fired for doing their jobs poorly, even to the extent that they intentionally harm people, and that certainly makes various things run more smoothly. Smoothness would have been a more convincing argument back in the day when our government produced acceptable results [0], assuming that day ever occurred. Obviously one would prefer that people not be convicted of murder based on stories told by buffoons about their interactions with dogs. Probably there aren't a great many judges who would allow such a thing. When that has occurred, however, a public proceeding in a legislature would constitute a wonderful reminder for all judges to take their heads out of their asses, which would contribute to justice.

[0] In USA we spend twice as much on health care as any other nation. Our performance against covid has only been better than Peru, Brazil, and several nations in eastern Europe. Every nation in Asia and Africa had fewer deaths per capita than we did.
I accidentally read this as "Let it R.I.P."

I totally agree, unroll it!

While the file sharing is distributed, the centralised web-based indexing is still a game of whack-a-mole.
Agreed that it looks great, but there is zero chance it gets implemented in the US. Not with the tech lobbying money floating around in Washington.

Does it directly (client side js) talk to github, or is there an intermediate layer like serverless functions involved?
I’ve been mulling over ideas like this for a while. What if the metaverse is actually primarily audio, without all this 3D, VR headset bullshit? Earbuds are incredibly widely deployed but outside of the initial surge of interest in assistants like Siri it doesn’t feel like they’ve been treated as a platform in a serious way.
Phabricator at my company. It's surprisingly good. The main downsides are no built in CI, it's written in PHP, and it's been abandoned. There is a community project to take over but too early to see if it will succeed.

I would probably use self hosted Gitlab or Gitea/Gogs if I was choosing now.
It's an OS for the web, but the web is increasingly in control of the same entity that controls chromium. And chromium helped them a lot in getting that much power over the web. I don't think that qualifies as improving openness or user control.
Well done! How flexible is this when it comes to custom integrations such as custom previews, styles etc?
they seem to have fixed that at least. I had the same problem with a computer I updated immediately, but not with one that I waited a bit on. Incidentally you can fix this by copying your .mozilla directory in the correct place in the snap directory in your home folder
This is something I have been trying to build since June. So happy that I finally have something to show for it. This example shows in WASM how you can decode audio and play it back right in the browser. The decode isn't using any browser specific APIs either, it is entirely in WASM.

I really think some interesting things can come of this. The audio codec is really easy to build (and modify). I could see this being used lots of different ways.
Not to mention, it seems Gmail is the overwhelming choice for pretty much everyone; over 75% of users on my service have a Gmail email. If Google did actually sunset Gmail I’m sure every website would implement an email change system pretty quick to make sure their own users aren’t left out on in the cold, unable to log in post-shutdown.
It isn't intentional, that's just the physics of low friction on steep slopes. But you're right, nearly everyone starts by immediately seeing how far off-road they can drive, so it wouldn't be a bad idea to better support that :)
I'll add to the chorus of people saying "yes, release it".

If you're worried about blowback as a result of "evil" uses / users, is there a way to release it (somewhat) anonymously, so it's difficult to be traced back to you?
Looked for this but it doesn’t appear on iPad
I personally hope AppImage wins over snap, it seems to be the best of its class, and isn't so centralized. It would still need to be paired with a package manager for updates, of course
