there's a rather large misunderstanding on its github page:

> You can't use openssh's PermitTunnel feature because it's disabled by default on openssh servers; plus it does TCP-over-TCP, which has terrible performance.

it doesn't do TCP over TCP, it's a bytestream over TCP (exactly the same as shuttle)

something like OpenVPN running in TCP mode would be TCP over TCP
How much exercise were you doing during that period? I ask because the same thing happened to me and I wasn't doing any exercise most months.

Overeating becomes much less of an issue if you're doing exercise (as an extreme example look at how much strongmen need to eat to maintain their weight).

A key insight is that muscle requires more calories to maintain than fat reserves, even if they weigh the same.

If you're fat you're probably building decent muscle on your legs just by carrying more weight around all day, but the upper body is a different story and requires training no matter what.
> 4. Far more complicated, change the algorithm to promote positivity and punish negativity.

How do you do that when what constitutes positive or negative is so subjective?

How does twitter make judgemwnts about whether discourse on its site (about a particular subject) is positive ir negative without making value judgements about the subject itself?
I wish the slashes for italic had made it into what is currently Markdown.

/italics/

and

*bold*

feel much more natural to me than having to remember whether a single asterisk (text) or double asterisk (*text*) corresponds to italics or bold.

We bought a dSLR and a specific lens geared toward “point and click” of landscape and travel photos because after traveling to a few places pictures that looked great on a phone did not scale to any large prints or screens. That camera along has produced fantastic photos and I consider it money well spent.
India is the only place I ever travelled to, that controlled visas upon leaving the country. Like what, you are at the airport, behind security, with a ticket back to Germany in hand, with a German passport, and now they have doubts about the visas you got from the Indian consulate? What are they going to do, hold you up and send you back on a flight paid for by the Indian government or what? Really crazy.

Overall, kind of logic so, because how can you leave a place you didn't enter in the first place because you had no permit to enter it? Mind blowing!
Why not both? It ended up being a success on the enterprise market while being a failure on the regular consumer market.
Because it’s still not Markdown, not by a long shot. https://api.slack.com/reference/surfaces/formatting#basics may call it “mrkdwn”, but it bears only a very superficial resemblance to Markdown—in significant chunks it’s closer to one or two other lightweight markup languages than to Markdown.
The museum should take this moment to install a series of mirrors so that when you walk in you are exposed to all the different vantage points and can see it the right way, the wrong way and all other ways in between.

I bet that would get a lot of extra coverage in the news leading to extra money for the museum.

Also, they should advertise that one lucky person will be met by a dastardly villain who emerges from the house of mirrors and then murders them. That would also earn a lot of publicity and more money for the museum. When the villain emerges, they should say "I'm with the Pantone company, and you are looking at illegal colors, prepare to die."

This already has been a problem in the 80ies when Intel VM86 mode came into use - real mode programs tested the unused bits in the status register and then made assumptions about the CPU (as recommended by Intel in the programming manuals). When the program was running inside a VM86 environment (virtual real mode inside of protected mode), the instruction for this triggered an protection fault, and the "hypervisor" filled in the results as if it got executed correctly, potentially confusing programs about which CPU they were running on.
I was also looking for one (well, two) yesterday... even sent bloomberg a mail to ask if backorder was still possible (they said no and to check amazon/ebay/etc).
Sure, I get that - which is why I'm thinking about the HTTP GET scenario, because each Request is almost entirely stateless on entry. Sure, it builds up state, but that could all be in an Arena with the scope of the Request.
We have CIELAB for expressing colour in absolute form. This could always be used to express an intended colour.

However you are correct Pantone is entrenched as it is based on a simple set of formulas for easy mixing by print shops, this is also cemented into various systems that take premixed pantones directly (eg HP Indigo). Pantone also extends into neon and metallics where LAB of course doesn’t exist.

Declaring arbitrary CMYK or RGB values without including a corresponding colour profile will produce inaccurate results across different devices/output methods due to variation (hence why we have colour profiles.)

This change will just likely lead to more colours being specified as arbitrary rgb and cmyk values with accuracy be damned, which is a trend of new style guides for the last few years (also due the rise of trademarking colours).
I don't know all of your mentioned apps that well, but the ones I know just hide the markdown and provide shortcuts and buttons to insert it. I for one almost never use the shortcuts or syntax insertion buttons in Bear, instead writing like I would in notepad.exe and enjoying the clean looks. I guess one could call that kind of hybrid between WYSIWYG and plain text…

I love this idea. So many failures follow the “first is not best”, then many failed business tales.

But most of these are the expected and the analysis is shallow. Snark added is unnecessary.

Many are fad products or acknowledged R&D experiments that I wouldn’t necessarily call “failures.”

I expected more when having to give my email. A categorized page of bullets with Wikipedia links would be more useful. The details and references would be higher quality.

Cool idea, just needs more development and research to provide real value.
> "They get some token attention but they're always subservient to business values"

Hard disagree. CS education doesn't have business at its core, but science. It's all about systems design, theory, formal verification, requirements gathering, math, logic, etc. It's neither about (primarily) business nor coding concerns. You probably don't need CS for those.
Haha, yeah, I have fond memories of these displays. Got my hands onto one by accident as a kid, but didn't have any software to drive it, so I wrote me some software to drive those on the parallel port for display of CPU and RAM usage, number of mails in inbox, fan speeds and stuff. That program even gained a certain popularity in the case-modding scene, it was a hideous pile of crappy Visual Basic 4.0 code called "just another LCD software" or "jaLCDs".
It was a long time ago. It was a flagship Motorola phone or something. Either way, the fact remains that android is fragmented as fuck. Has to support a whole bag of different hardware configurations and is quirky, then manufacturers abandon the hardware and don’t provide android os updates. Each manufacturer adds their own bloatware apps to the android ecosystem.

There’s a reason even 5-6 year old iPhones still work like a charm on iOS even today. The hardware is much better integrated and supported by the software.

Mass-market advertising in the modern sense dates to about 1860, or about 160 years. That's over a century, but not "centuries". As a significant social and economic dynamic, it's younger yet.

As I've recently posted to this thread, Hamilton Holt's 1909 account is an excellent introduction to the beginning of this period:

<https://archive.org/details/commercialismjou00holtuoft>

Google's Ngram Viewer suggest that the terms "advertising agency" and "advertising copywriter" only came into vogue during the 1920s, which would be only just at the century mark:

<https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=advertising+ag...>

I don't have a ready reference for ad spend evolution over the entire 20th century, but based on the 1980--2000 data, it seems likely highly skewed to more recent times:

<https://www.visualcapitalist.com/evolution-global-advertisin...>

There's probably a pretty good historical basis for the series Mad Men to have been set in the years 1960--1970.

First, bear in mind this isn't written for a technical audience. Nevertheless, it's worth the time if you finish it.

> active sense of disdain for artists amongst many people pushing AI

I feel as if this was spawned by many artists' disdain for so-called "tech bros." Most pro-AI people didn't seem to have any hostility before that.

> example of AI being used as a hammer and everything becoming a nail

I don't quite get it. AI image generation has its own niche.

> disappointed that people have expended so much effort to automate art instead of some of the awful manual jobs there are on this planet

Truth be told, the reason many of those jobs (I'm assuming mining, certain factory jobs, etc.), haven't been taken by robots is because the problem is much harder and more expensive than getting a diffusion model to spit out images.

Overall, this situation isn't too different from past situations. The Luddites were actually skilled craftsmen! Technology improves, certain jobs go away or decline—that's the story of the past few centuries.

I do agree that a framework needs to be created to handle the soon rapidly declining number of jobs in society.

Some instances have a large enough character limit that there effectively isn't one.
The world is inundated with these over-the-top analogies now. People can't exaggerate just a little, they have to go full nuclear. And when dealing with a lot of sensitive subjects, it negatively affects a lot of people. I'm looking forward to a generation that swings the other way and goes super-literal on everything.
Possibly, if for no other reason than the existing entity has the right connections, knows how to navigate the framework, and knows who to bribe to make things happen.

I meant vigorous market competition from the economical point of view not from the entrepreneur's point of view. But yeah the ultimate goal of every "for-profit" company is monopoly but the goal of every economist is vigorous market competition which improves quality of products and drives prices down.
Your last part is important, however: it’s quite possible that full self-driving vehicles might end up like supersonic passenger air travel where the cost is too high to be viable.

For example, Uber’s valuation was based on the idea that self-driving cabs would be cheaper than paying a human driver. It would be very easy to imagine that if the vehicle costs $100k it’s cheaper to pay a driver minimum wage instead. This is especially worth thinking about in light of the climate crisis: single-passenger vehicles have much higher emissions than almost anything else, even for EVs, and if the users had to pay the accurate cost the break-even point would be even further away than it is now.
They 'guarantee' things work on particular browsers on particular OSes, not on 'modern web tech'. Well, I'm not going to spend money on something that has no legal guarantee or even promise to work.
Just guessing, but that seems to imply two possibilities. One containing colors that can't be implemented - no such pigments / ink / chemicals exist. And other one describing actual inks and their behavior - which sounds like what Pantone is doing.

While we weren't allowed to buy servers, we were allowed to buy components

I'm curious. Could you have bought all the components to build your own servers under that policy? :-D
Sounds like Adobe decided they could save some $$$ and make a bigger profit not renewing the Pantone license, and instead force people to pay extra, and cream a % off the top of those monthly fees.
We have a Rolleiflex T, which we love for its mechanical qualities (so clever!) but still find heavy.

My wife uses Olympus (micro four-thirds) digital, which is much lighter. Olympus make (made?) some great lenses.
He is still a bit confused about length vs size.
length should return the length (either the count of grapheme clusters or codepoints), and size should return the count of bytes.
I worked with a guy who was an F-4 technician and can appreciate that perspective.

But from the perspective of a civilian, we only hear fighter jets when indoors or on the ground. The noise a fighter jet makes is nothing like a commercial airliner. But it is on par in terms of annoyances with the sound a laptop makes when it is maxed out thermally, if you're sitting in your house.

I know it isn't a "fighter jet" but recently the USAF passed a U2 basically right over my house. I was shocked to realize just how loud that plane is for example.

So the analogy makes sense. About the only other thing that is similar in annoyance is wood chippers.
There has always and will always be a high end of the market, and that high-end will pay extra irrespective of fuel/electricity consumption.

So in the sense that they'll likely never replace "ground cars", you're right. But that does not mean there won't be some space for them.

The far greater problem for eVTOL companies than energy use is noise and safety which for the medium term at least will exclude them from the most attractive end-to-end options and prevent them from being a real car-replacement option.

E.g. Lilium originally touted themselves as a sort of "flying Uber" on the basis that it could in theory land almost anywhere. But they dialled it back on the basis that being able to is very different from being allowed to e.g. land in a residential area without a dedicated, secured platform and following all kinds of regulations on both noise and safety. Now, they're instead focusing on partnerships (e.g. with Ferrovial for Florida[1] and Saudia for Saudi Arabia [2]) willing to operate networks of what they call "vertiports", so more of a replacement of a segment of helicopter services than cars.

Regardless of their political party, the potential that it was created from researchers/labs has been discussed here, and I recall the evidence slightly suggests that it could be true (if not coincidental).

So completely dismissing a report just because it “might” be politically motivated or came from 1 party shows your bias. HN usually dismisses the content of a report, not the author’s affiliations. When will we learn to stop picking sides?
Half the time it’s because their AirPods are gummed up with earwax and it actually is too quiet.
I think in order to make HTML a friendly document standard it needs to be easy to type on mobile. At least in my experience it is quite painful typing HMTL tags (needing to dance between 3 keyboards). This could be implemented with a built-in WYSIWYG style editor on mobile (maybe piggy-back on the contentEditable stuff?). I would love it if there was a standard native rich text widget for HTML.

On one of my sites (message board), I use Markdown but custom HTML tags for extensions like file attachments. You can allow these custom tags in your HTML sanitizer and replace them at render time with output from some template. So dragging and dropping a file would add <foo-file data-id="uuid-goes-here"> to your input box. Seems like a decent middle ground with common things easy to type with Markdown and special magic as HTML tags.
I don't find exercise very helpful. They burn too little calories compared to the effort. I find it way easier to eat less: not doing something is easier to spend effort, and the effect multiplier is bigger.

I should still exercise for other reasons, but not for losing weight.

Isn't the core problem that universities have started offering far too much under the "Computer Science" umbrella. If they where to split it up into 5 or 6 different degrees, like Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, Human Computer Interaction, Business Systems design etc. then many of these problems of definition and meaning would disappear.
A pointer offset or pointer compression optimization would need a complete rewrite. Nobody does that. It would only work in a VM (bytecode or jit).

Fedora 37 Release Has Been Delayed
Has anyone made a markdown only web browser?

Consumers should be able to control the presentation of the content they view. They should provide the theme. Markdown could provide the minimal content and linking.

It seems like it would be possible to remake all the major web properties this way while returning control back to the consumer and preventing egregious advertising, tracking, and popups. Reddit, Google Search, substack/medium/etc all could be remade in this more consumer-centric viewport. The markdown browser would be a strong promise a lot of anti-user behavior.

The modern browser is more an application development platform - let's treat it that way. A web browser's presentation should be in control of the consumer.
Both of those are specialized use cases by most people's definitions. For most of the uses of normal people, "daily use" is a good web browser and maybe a mail client, and the Pi should be more than capable of running those. A Pi is hardly a gaming rig or a dev box, and I don't think anyone would claim it is.
It really isn’t. There is a huge community of people doing this, and it doesn’t seem to just be a fad. I find rubbing outdoors to be incredibly boring, gym machines are also. It’s hard to distract myself enough to finish the workout, and that’s not to mention taking the time to get ti the gym in the first place.

With VR, the games are distracting and fun enough that they don’t come off as overly tedious, BeatSaber is better but also less fitness oriented, FitXR is less so, but I can still get through it without expending lots of willpower. The best exercise is the exercise you do, when I was in my 20s and some of my 30s, I could push myself to go running and hit the gym, now VR fills that role.
It is kind of ironic that we had to wait 20 years to get back what Delphi, Eiffel and co have been offering for decades, in much more resource constrained hardware.
