So maybe I'm missing something entirely obvious here, but isn't "Chromecast with google TV"[0] exactly the product everyone here seems to be lamenting not existing? I've got two at home and they are great. It's a solid tv experience based on android, with probably the best remote I've ever used -- though I wish the remote wouldn't be so dang slippery.

> Does anyone know how I can block a website like Facebook on a Mac with whatever new tech they've rolled out?

whois to find all their IPs range and block all these? They change once in a while but not every day.

See here for the whois command:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11164672/list-of-ip-spac...

FWIW I just reject any outgoing attempt to these range from my firewall using a file I version and update once in a while.

EDIT: I've also got a PiHole running and I'm pretty sure it's also blocking a huge lot of FB related ad domains.
I could automate the whois query and check if it's different from the current list I'm using but I don't bother (so far).
Agree with you about un-ironic (authentic?) enthusiasm being one of the best human traits. I moved across the country and am getting settled in, trying to make new friends. The culture is a bit different, so it's been slow going. But I've found that digging into and understanding what people are super into is one of the most enjoyable things you can do, and probably the best way to understand who someone really is. Not just what they're into, but why. I've also found that most people really want to share / teach other people about these things, so that's a great way to connect. And I've also realized this has happened in a lot of the deep friendships I've had, just more organically.
Firefox has container tabs if you don't want to leak your Google account to everything else. And it blocks ads perfectly.
I think this is only confusing because most people’s only understanding of autopilot is what they watched in movies when the pilot flicks a button and leaves the cockpit go fight a villain so they imagine autopilot means FSD which it isn’t at all in its original use in planes either.
Presumably, you want to reduce the instances of nitwits perpetrating atrocities upon their neighbor, yeah? That is your end goal? And we're pretending here that the only input available to us in order to get the outcome of reduced nitwit-perpetrated atrocity is that of criminal penalties? Ok, I'll play.

First, understand that we now live in an era of unprecedented personal safety. Death from homicide-by-nitwit is generally less likely now than at any time in the past. Obviously not true in specific situations like adopting a murderous nitwit, but it's true in general.

So, if we're accepting the premises so far, then whatever we have now is better than the past.

Second, understand that throughout history "death or exile" were the only real criminal punishments ever meted out, discounting "torture or mutilation". It's not like it's a radical idea you have there.

Even the arguing style of bringing up the most horrific shit possible and using it to argue for harsher punishment in general is not new. In fact, it's basically used every single time someone advocates for =>

Imprisonment as a genuinely sincere attempt to redeem criminals is pretty radical, and I would argue has not been tried with conviction, so to speak, in the US. Wherever it's genuinely practiced, crime is low.

Still, even prison-as-deterrence- through-horror is a step up from medieval-era death-or-exile.

Why, if your goal is reduce crime, would you seriously advocate for returning to methods used during a time of more crime?

Ok, I think I'm done here. Know that I promise to read and think carefully about whatever you write in response, but I will probably not reply.
Also the fact that $() invokes a supparser which lets use double quotes in an already double quoted expression is something I miss when using Python-f strings.
There is no mention of its thickness, but from calculation using its mass, and approximating its shape as a cylinder, it's approximately 1mm.

I don't think people have a problem with getting served ads. It's how they are served ads / tracking / stalking / data collection that's disliked.
> Do you close your eyes walking around town any time you go by a store front, you see a roadside ad

Actually, yes.

Specifically the video screens that some gas pumps have. If it start's spamming me while I'm pumping gas, I literally cover my ears and walk about 10 feet away until I can't hear the ad anymore (you are not supposed to walk way when pumping gas, it's unsafe!).

I'll then mentally take note that this is a gas station to avoid and never shop there again.

One interesting thing I have noticed, ads that existed when I was a kid (billboards, magazine ads, commercials on an actual TV) don't bother me the way new tech ads do: on websites, gas pumps, and especially YouTube ads. If i'm watching Youtube on a laptop I will always mute the volume and focus on just the bottom right corner, waiting for "skip ad" to appear. I absolutely F*cking hate YouTube ads on a computer. If I'm watching YouTube on a large TV via Roku, they don't bother me nearly as much and sometimes I even watch them.

Maybe it's just things that used to be ad-free and now aren't....
On top of that who on earth would price their free time at same as they do their job? My free time is 2-4x the job
I'm guessing narrative games or walking simulators aren't included.

I have definitely seen video games that have difficult puzzles or complex game loops focus my kids on problem solving and how to use tools like notepad or something at their disposal.
However as they are on the internet more and more, I think they are getting lazy and just getting the answers from youtube.
I feel like the US's focus on high school sports means that the jock stereotype stays at the top of the highschool social hierarchy. The macho/ball-breaking culture of jocks means that the typical nerd gets bullied. Also, college admissions' aren't "holistic" here, so the typical nerd is not penalized for mix-maxing into his stats. (if you'd excuse my RPG lingo for a moment)
And to make things worse all the names after million are offset. Trillion, quadrillion, etc.
The internet is not an honesty box.
Musk has been fairly open on the spat. Basically Biden is funded by the unions and promotes unionised car companies like Ford/GM over Tesla. I doubt the DOJ thing is part of it.
Make that n=2, probably one of the only useful things I learned from a commercial as a kid.
Websites are funded by open source. Open source developers didn’t give it all away to reduce the cost of ad delivery.
> So when you modify the web page with adding new styles or blocking a web request you violate the copyright.

That seems absurd. I just reject their request to fetch some _additional_ information, I don't modify the "text of their request" as such. If that breaks their sites (as it usually does), that's their problem - not mine.

The reMarkable and the Kindle both use Wacom EMR, but that doesn't determine latency on these devices. It's all about the display's refresh rate... That's always been the Achilles Heel of ePaper. Honestly, the reMarkable 2 is perfectly fine for me.
How does ubo distinguish it? Is it using ip addresses instead of dns, or something much more complicated?

>Why is digital attention morally a big problem but attention in real life not?

Because we can fight against the former, whereas the latter is much more difficult. Despite this, we do consider both problems.

>most of society over time has gravitated to this mode of selling goods and services

More accurately it was the path of least resistance. Most individuals did not enjoy increasing number of commercials on TV and it shows in the alternatives.
My replies to you do not depend on or imply that you proposed any course of action, or that anyone else has actually done so, either. You have quoted me out of context in order to give the impression that I have.
Cannot repost with the correct title either!
I agree, you'll never hear me recommend MSSQL to anyone, but it's unfortunately quite popular among my customers and hence something I have to take into account when buying software.
To that, I would say I've done support on a startup and that's totally fine. The customers were familiar and came with real problems or questions, and often helped drive the direction of the product.

That's completely different to doing a week of enterprise support for a large company on a product with millions of users.

One is more like helping a product find its product-market fit, validating ideas, or even realising the company needs to pivot.

The other is mindless, boring and in 99.99% of cases unproductive for the product.
The missing feature/bug is small and local.

The inability to fix it is an indicator of a cultural/organizational problem.
I, for one, would be perfectly happy for every ad funded website to die
> Try to imagine what a setback it would be to try to discover smelting or electricity underwater. It’s not an impossibility, but I suspect it’s inherently a small fraction of underwater societies that discover it at all.

Try to imagine the number of things we haven't discovered because our civilization didn't develop underwater! Would be interesting to find out what the sentient alien dolphins and octopuses think of us and our disadvantaged air-based tech :)
Law enforcement helps to a degree, but it's not an efficient way of reducing crime. If it was, we would have solved this problem a long time ago.

Personally, the reason I don't rob stores is that it's a waste of time. Software development is easier and pays far better than robbery. There's no moral aspect to it.

If other people are robbing stores, they must be in a position where they think robbery is their most profitable option. Maybe they are desperate and need money today, maybe they don't have the skills to do anything more useful. In any case, that type of situation should never happen.

>Twice this week I've witnessed people acting violently in public. They know there will be no repercussions

It's not that they know there will be no repercussions, it's that they have nothing to lose. They don't have a career to keep or money or a house or the respect of others. They aren't integrated with society. You don't see politicians or executives doing this.

Or put another way: what's the reward for good behavior? It should be much, much higher than the reward for crime, to the extent that people would never commit crimes simply because it's not a good use of their time.
If anyone is interested in how it works, here's the whole thing (I'm looking for strings inside a call to a text function, which is how you wrap sql for sqlalchemy).

# queries/python/injections.scm
; inherits: python

((call
function: (identifier) @_func
arguments: (argument_list (string) @sql))
(#eq? @_func "text"))

There's a little nuance here where the thing that treesitter parses includes the """ (or ") at the start / end but because it can recovery from errors I'm not bothering with wrangling the offsets.
I think they just started to run out of money because nobody was buying and their competition annihilates them in terms of features.

Do you know one of the things people really want from the tablet?

The ability to draw shapes. They don't add it on the basis of idealism "it must be like paper".
I think once vaccine rollout was widespread it was time to lift many of the restrictions. But regardless of your opinions on this, MIT is not claiming the restrictions are still there because of COVID. They are outright saying they are keeping the closed campus as other restrictions are lifted, for security reasons.
The ReMarkable 2 tablet has been out of awhile and is a well known device, this post just links to the main homepage as far as I can see, what am I missing?

Something new announced?
Those often have a Mute button!! It's always unlabeled, but the upper-right (or second-down-from-upper-right) button is usually Mute. If not those, then one of the others probably is. If you have a sharpie on you, label it for the next poor soul that has to use that pump.
Absolutely. I worry that the decision tree is so complex that when we do traverse it to understand errors, we could easily draw the wrong conclusions anyway.

When we need to audit something that is more complex than we can really comprehend, can we come to reliably accurate conclusions? If we need tools to do this for us, can we be certain they’re accurate as well?

All of it feels very Icarus-like. I’d be content if we tested this stuff out in isolation for another 20 years before throwing it on public streets.
Isn't this a bit equivalent to owning a TV (pre-internet days) that refuses to allow you to mute the sound during the advertising segments? How about taping such television shows for your own personal use, while cutting out the advertisements? What about loaning (or copying) such videotapes so others can watch them? See for example, these historical discussions from the 1980s, 1990s, 2000s:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/opinions/1984/01/22/t...

> (1984) "Several Hollywood studios sued Sony, a manufacturer of VCRs, seeking money damages and an injunction against sales. The studios charged that Sony was responsible for copyright infringements. A lower court held that there was no infringement in recording material broadcast over public airwaves. An appeals court reversed, holding Sony liable for "contributory infringement." The Supreme Court has reversed that, saying that Sony is not liable because Congress has not spoken clearly about this practice."

See also, this 2012 discussion of that case:

https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2012/01/the-c...

There were even technologies introduced to automate the process, and IIRC, some were able to automatically skip over the advertisements when auto-taping the shows (1991):

That does sound pretty nice
Oddly neither is F# </sarcasm>
> How come, signal works exactly the same as whatsapp.

I think right there is a powerful impediment. It's not compelling to switch for most, especially when people they know are still on whatsapp.
<<but it seems very odd to me how we so easily deny other developers of creating free to use tools just because we think we have some moral higher ground.

In general, I think most people would agree that your right ends when my begin. The moment I send the request and the wheels start spinning to get all the information in, I should be able to decide whether or not something is filtered out. Why do some developers ( and frankly, I do not even think its developers -- its their management ) feel entitled to being able to serve whatever they want on my machine?

What if I just one this one tiny little snippet here?
None of these shows for me.
Not having the ability to backup and archive my messages means Signal controls my data, not me. It reminds me of my past fights with closed source, proprietary software and file formats.
What? iPads have literally replaced computers and laptops for a huge segment of people.

Every boomer in my life has an iPad. They don’t own computers anymore.
Just to add to the existing responses, matrices represent linear transforms, which have many convenient properties. However, translation, that is moving things, is not a linear transform. (All linear transforms must map the zero vector to itself, but if you move an object at the origin somewhere else, it's no longer at the origin.) Translation is an affine transform.

Now here's the trick. You can embed your three-dimensional space into a four-dimensional space at a fixed fourth coordinate (but not zero). In this new space, translation in the original three-dimensional space is a linear transform.
> Criminals are denied entry.

And said businesses will blasted all over the news for being racist (because there's going to be a _very obvious_ pattern of who is denied entry). Which takes us back to square one. No business is going to want to be a party to the inevitable shitstorm that will come of it.
I mean they're not that bad.

I had the same calculus, I bought it expecting to see if it would improve workflows, determined it didn't, and did the return. Didn't have this problem, remember the process being particularly easy honestly. Perhaps they revamped it since you or I did it?

Repeat after me: "Traditional hardware purchases do not support software investments", as Zach Supalla so decisively put it (https://www.atomsandbits.io/p/hardware-software-business-mod...).

You can not ask for cloud-enabled conveniences, as well as bug fixes, security updates, and product improvements for years to come for a one time fee.

Increasingly, devices are a delivery mechanism for software, and one way or another you have to pay for the software.
> You think the people that created what you want to use are bad people, infringing on your rights, why would you still use their stuff?

Because black hat SEO has made it very hard to find the non-ad filled stuff.
There's nothing in the main ecosystem for getting news content on the device (besides manually sending individual articles to the rM via the chrome extension).

I'm working on a project that pulls from RSS/Twitter/Reddit, formats all your subscriptions into a single pdf, and syncs to Google Drive (which the rM can sync with). It's working great for me so far but is the closest to "automatic" I think you can achieve with the device right now.

These things do not contradict each other. People can be both free to say anything without consequences, and to choose whom to listen to.
Well yeah, if you use a gnome app, it'll look like a gnome app.

In other news, if you use green paint, it'll paint things green.
Well I think it is - they're offering something with an understanding.

Yes the understanding isn't legally enforced, but socially that's what they're expecting.

Since you know that's what they're expecting (unless you're an idiot), the more moral thing to do is to respect that and not engage with them if you don't agree, rather than continuing to take while knowing that it's not what they wanted.
Huh, I didn't realize there was an issue in the Netherlands. Are you referring to mentally ill/addicted people like the parent comment? Or the police being stretched thin?

I will admit Amsterdam is certainly not a bit as safe as the Hague/Rotterdam/Delft in my experience, but even then it appears (to me) to be relatively tame.
There's a setting in uBo "Suspend network activity until all filter lists are loaded" that isn't checked by default. If you check it and restart the browser it should work. Solved it for me at least.

I could be wrong but this seems primarily aimed at Starlink, especially after Elon said he cannot keep donating service for Ukraine. Nothing is official yet but it seems the EU and US Dept. of Defense are going to pay Starlink for continued service to the Ukrainian fighters which seems like a pretty active part of the belligerency.
The main reason I'm not using Linux at home is exactly updates - I don't want to be bothered for hours figuring out arcane error messages for each and every round of updates.

I honestly haven't played with ReStructuredText. I'll take a peek.

AsciiDoc includes are very powerful though, being able to populate your tables/code blocks from external data sources (filtering for certain lines/ranges). Also Tables can have complex structures (merged cells etc).

I feel like AsciiDoc was designed around writing technical papers than code documentation. It's essentially an opinionated wrapper around LaTex but less complexity. reST looks like it can produce great code documentation. AsciiDoc lets me cover both code documentation and customer facing documentation/reports with one code base. But I'll definitely continue to take a peek at reST. Although I think it's use case is more for embedding documentation directly in code. It's probably just my "I know the AsciiDoc toolchain well" bias though.
"3 minute timer" Doesn't work for me. BUT "180 second timer" does. 2 minute / 4 minute also works. So might be bugged on just that one search term.
