Does someone know of a tool that helps to generate the themes for the individual applications based on your preferred color scheme?
I am currently using Dracula (https://draculatheme.com/) as color scheme. Not that it is my favourite color scheme (actually I don’t like it’s colours at all), but the fact that the creator is providing ready to use themes for almost every application is the main reason for me to use it. I want a consistent look across all of my applications.
I used to use solarized, but switched to selenized some time ago.

Never looked back. Next best theme would have to be nordtheme.com
Who determines what is a "trustable media"? Who watches the watchdog? Etc.
Thanks for the suggestion. While I am interested in security (and value its importance), my passion lies with finding and fixing known bugs, not finding unknown bugs.
I really liked the Wii U pad and used it a lot. The Switch is a more fully realized version of the concept, but it has its downsides -- it's not as comfortable to hold and play for long periods, and the lack of a two-screen mode makes certain concepts less effective. Mario Maker, for instance, worked perfectly with the Wii U and feels compromised on the Switch in comparison.

The battery life was completely irrelevant to me. I just kept it plugged in.
That sounds good - thanks for clarifying. Excited to see this project grow!
> There are so many improvements we could be making, but corporations don't see any "immediate shareholder value", so they sit around happy as pigs in shit with the status quo.

This is just not true. Stuff needs to be funded and worth doing, and the internet, like almost everything, is built on making things worth paying for, but there are also loads of improvements everywhere are being made.
I edited my comment with the information I had at the time, and suggested that readers to check the threads beneath for more up to date information. I'm not sure why you're so offended about someone being wrong on the Internet, but I assure you it happens a lot. Hopefully all that caps helped you get some stress out though.
By survive do you mean they actually kill people or technically minded folk would leave because it's shite? I just went there out of interest and it didn't look great. Scrolled down, got annoying pop-up, left.

No, it doesn't do that. But neither does it affect existing contracts — as I said.

If Elon can find an old excuse that suits the contract's language, he can use it. The lawyers are sure to fight over it when a payment of >10m is in question, but Elon isn't barred from using arguments that related to before his takeover — despite what GP said.
OK, because he does spend a lot of time shitposting.
> No. If you send no data, what is the race? You can structure an API where there are no races.

You seem to be saying that the race is a problem when comparing 2 copies of the same data (yes) and that this is an issue for fat events (no, and misses the entire point).

A vague thin event contains at minimum an event type and an item id, e.g. "SoemthingHappendedToAnOrder id:123456" which is _ahem_ two pieces of data that are sent. Events containing "no data" are not a thing, don't be absolute.

So there's potential for a race or inconsistency when you correlate that with a http api which might or might not have that order. You can't entirely get away from that.

Sure, if you want to write as many bugs as possible as fast as possible, go ahead. (yes, I realise that this is mischaracterising hyperbole, but you did same by saying "infinite developer resources" etc above)
Mario Maker used the touchscreen effectively. You could seamlessly go back and forth between editing your level on the touchscreen and testing it on your TV. I also liked the touchscreen effects in Super Mario 3D World and regret their (effective) absence in the Switch port.

Maybe in US. Tesla has nothing to throw against some serious cars like Mercedes EQS or EQS SUV. Hyundai is also catching up. Charging infrastructure isn’t an issue in Europe anymore and is getting better and better every year.
Tesla supercharger for free at the beginning was a big deal. That’s why I am looking for used model X from 2017 right now. 5000€ in free electricity a year is a nice advantage. I also have open order for model Y performance from Berlin factory. Sorry, the lead time shitshow is similar to all others. Every month my order is being delayed by 2 months for months. I have only one additional option ordered - black color. Last time I checked delivery time was updated to “TBD”. Lol.

Edit: this year generous funding for new electric vehicles in Germany is about to end, that’s why the last months of 2022 are so chaotic regarding lead times.
I have seen this kind of call throughout my career. Developers say useless people who aren't devs should just get out of their way.

Where before there were teams of QA people, project managers, IT administrators and support personnel, it has all been subsumed into the various "agile" DevOps methodologies. I now hear devs complain that they have to do everything.

Promoting devs to do all the things that devs don't do is not the solution. It shows a deep lack of awareness of all the boring things (to devs anyway) that have to happen so that devs can get on with writing code.

This is not to say that all managers are great; there are many bad or mediocre managers, just as there are many bad or mediocre devs. They are different skill sets though.
To me it seems rather cheap. Specially for something that could not have gotten before without nepotism and corruption.
Spread through drainpipes isn't some theory I made up, it's the conclusion of investigations into how SARS-1 spread in Hong Kong. The drains in questions were floor drains, so presumably had didn't have per-apartment traps in that case. At any rate, if you think it's obviously wrong then take it up with the people who wrote the paper I cited.

The bigger problem is probably not floor drains of course but air ducts, hallways and other building areas that expose the uninfected to aerosols hanging in the air in ways that masks won't affect because people don't wear them at home.

I get the impression from your other post you may have been making your family wear respirators, perhaps even at home. If so then yes, this message will be hard to hear, but it's not generalized stupidity amongst the population that we didn't all follow you in that. It's that the droplet model of spread was invalidated very early on and the immediate failure of mask mandates confirmed what was happening. Respirators with valves are especially incompatible with either model, and in fact got banned pretty early on where I live. You had to use masks without valves.

I am familiar with the concepts, but I'd classify that as more about putting measures in place to prevent bugs from being deployed, rather than identifying and fixing their root causes.

Eh, the bigger issue was Roddenberry was a Weinstein-type producer who hired women who he was sleeping with. "Free Love" guy who signed the checks. He's describing a particular actress who has been open with the star trek community about her issues. He is almost bragging that he could put her into a major role. (Even back in 1960s, this point in the proposal was creepy and barely appeared in the tv show.)

I think using the word irreversible for both outcomes is entirely a matter of perspective. A person choosing to abort can still be a mother which would technically mean that option is highly reversible. Really just depends on what you consider the start and end states before and after either option is done.
Depends which political propaganda machine you are talking about: the one that is outraged at their speakers husband being hit by a hammer or the one flately making stuff up to justify that attack.

P.S. I am not an US citizen so I couldn't care less, but when "my" party over here would defend a guy who breaks into someone's home and hit an old man with an hammer because of — you name it — political propaganda I would pause for a moment and revaluate whether I am still who I think I was.
I wonder if there's something like Twitter but a feed (RSS or otherwise) of interesting people's blog, YouTube, podcast or creative work?

I feel the value of Twitter would be a feed of interesting people. But 280 characters is just knee jerk thoughts.

Something to easily discover people, like Twitter, whist showing their content, seems more valuable.

Right now, the discovery part sucks. It's possible to find interesting people and sub to the RSS, but not everyone has that (like my blog). Not to mention how spread out content is, someone might release a podcast, or interesting YouTube vid, instead of just blog articles. It's just too much work.

This piqued my curiosity and is something well outside of my normal hobbies/interests (conservation of old books or antiques, physical library spaces in general, etc), so I was curious who started it. Turns out the answer is Dr Melissa Tedone - Lab Head for Books & Library Materials Conservation at Winterthur Museum.

She had been reading a book about arsenic-containing wallpapers in Victorian-era England, and connected mental dots while examining a book entered into the museum with a microscope. Pretty fascinating stuff: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jH1niN3NpU the backstory starts around the ~1:40 mark
If I could choulse twitter would be a protocol, but to me the worst case is being owned by an anonymous bureaucracy working exclusively to optimize the platform for add revenue, that changes the 'rules' on the fashions of US local politics. Anything else is an improvement.

I would argue that the main thing holding us back is the lack of funding. NASA's entire budget can't even compete with Meta's R&D department, so they have to take small steps. Investigate Mars, try to get people back on the moon (Artemis), and go from there.

Eventually we'll get to a point where we can explore Europa properly and we can send people to Mars, and all that, but it's going to take time. Without enough funding, things just take a lot of time.

> Every significant element of TCP, from its stream orientation to its requirement of in-order packet delivery, is wrong for the datacenter. It is time to recognize that TCP’s problems are too fundamental and interrelated to be fixed;

This seems like a pretty bad way to start a paper. It throws an extremely strong assumption into the room without backing it up by data.

Having worked in the Cloud/Datacenter space for lots of years, I really have a hard time describing any situations where TCP limited the performance of applications and not anything else. It doesn't matter that much if a slightly different networking stack could lower RTT for from 50us to 10us if the P99.9 latency of the overall stack is determined by garbage collection, a process being CPU starved, or being blocked on disk IO or another major fault. Those things can all be in the 100ms to 1s region, and are the real common sources of latency in distributed systems.

The main TCP latency problem that I've experienced over the years is SYN or SYN-ACK packets getting dropped to due overloaded links or CPU starvation, and the retry from the client only happening after 1s. Annoying, but one can work around a bit racing multiple connections. Besides the TCP handshake time there's also another round trip for setting up a TLS connection - sure. But both of those latencies are in practice worked around with connection pooling.

Speaking of TLS - I can't find a single reference to it in the paper. And talking about datacenter networking without mentioning TLS sees to miss something. Pretty much every security team in a bigger company will push on TLS by default - even if the datacenter is deemed a trusted zone. How does it matter if the TCP connection state is 2kB and the HOMA state is less, if my real TCP connection state is anyway at least another 32kB for TLS buffers plus probably megabytes for send and receive buffers plus whatever the application needs to buffer.

Last thing I would like to mention is that datacenter workloads are not "just messaging", and the boundary from messsaging to streaming is pretty fluid. What happens if the RPC calls fetches the content of a 10MB file? Is that still a message? If we treat it as such, it means that the stack needs to buffer the full messsage in memory at once, whereas with TCP (and e.g. HTTP on top) it can be streamed, with only the send buffer sizes being in memory. What about if it is 1MB? We could certainly argue that some applications just transfer a few bytes here and there, but I'm seriously not sure if I would label those as the majority of datacenter applications. And with the typical practice of placing a lot of metadata into each RPC call (> 5kB auth headers, logging data, etc) even the smallest RPC calls are not that small anyore.

Why is that. At first glance the tesla engineering problems seem far more complex no?

I get twitter has some issues of scale to solve, but its tweets, even netflix would be far more challenging imo.
I use a Firefox browser extension called "Dark Reader" [1] to force a dark mode on most of the websites I frequent and I'm more or less happy with it. If there was an extension that Solarized them instead, I'd probably go with that instead.

https://github.com/darkreader/darkreader
Finding the right abstraction isn’t easy in a network stack. TCP’s is less useful for application logic but it reflects the way the protocol works internally. Bunch of Bytes goes in on one side, Bytes stream out on the other side in chunks whose size depends on congestion, physical layer and other facts. A message based API hides these facts or leaks them depending on how you look at it.
In my friend group there were a handful of specific blunders that significantly changed the tide of opinion against him, all around the 2018 timeframe. "Pedo guy" was the biggest one mostly because of how stupid and unnecessary it was and his unwillingness to back down, but the "taking Tesla private for $420/share" drama was a close second.

The increasingly pubic tawdriness of his love life was a factor too; prior to then he'd done a good job cultivating an image of a family man.
The Starbase Tour videos are excellent, and there is a more recent follow-up.
This guys is just super fucking dumb. The absolute most generous reading of this would be that he looked at some org chart and saw there were devs with ten layers of management between them and the ceo. Only the stupidest fucking guy would then read that and make this inane claim.

Azure Active Directory has almost nothing in common with Active Directory, other than the name. Amongst other things, it uses HTTPS almost exclusively.

CIFS is an older protocol that Linux admins use incorrectly to refer to SMB, which is the file sharing protocol used by Windows.
This seems reasonable move. Let those who get most out of Twitter pay for it. Additionally maybe corporate users should be charged lot more. Depending on scale and reach.
Show HN: CSS minifier implemented in dependency-free C
cssminc is a CSS (Cascading Style Sheet) minifier implemented as a tiny, dependency-free, C89-compliant library which can read CSS from arbitrary sources (via a callback) and emit it in minified form to an arbitrary destination (via a callback).

Its library-level code is only 2 files (one header, one implementation) and it includes an optional CLI app which demonstrates how it's used.
Experienced programmers may not need to solve those riddles. Try measuring performance at complex problems they face everyday. I don't mean to know that all seniors perform better at this task. But at least measure something of interest.

If you used Borland C++, DBase, Lotus 123, WordStar and others... or used a monochromatic monitor (green, cyan or white on black), you used light text on a dark background.

By 2010, when Solarized appeared, the larger portion of the people that started coding on a light text on dark background had already retired.

Solarized did a good job in terms of distribution, I give you that 100%. But it is not the most important theme in history or anything of the sort.

Lula politics rescued 11 millions of people from poverty. On the other hand, Bolsonaro's irresponsible behavior, and bath masses, and alienated lies during COVID years is most probably directly responsible for the death of thousands of Brazilians.

I am not a C programmer but I will try!

Malloc/free - can turn into a tangled mess as you need to keep symmetry, and apps might have complex dep. graphs

Stack - wonderfully simple but often if you need to share things across the depths of your program you need to define variables in shallower parts - but you won’t know how much is needed ahead of time. Example a parsing library.

Arena - like a single malloc / free with it’s own stack. Use this to allocate memory for objects that can be all freed at the same time (if they need to be freed at all). No need to malloc for each object.
The other people don't use it at all. They use the color selector or the default swatches.

I know no person who uses pantone seatches and does not know about spot colors. And my environment are self thought people not professional graphic designers.
Hehe. It's possible. But less likely.
Mastodon has moderation facilities and is famous for instances having CoCs, refusing federation with instances with conflicting views, &c.
Adding to the chorus - you'll probably figure it out with enough time.

With the rise of neural nets, there is some solid circumstantial evidence that human intelligence is a re-purposing of parts of the brain evolved for vision processing (dunno what the biologists have figured out but hopefully they agree). Most of the people who I've listened to talk about how there is usually a sharp change-over moment when they go from being unable to do understand something to grasping it.

Get used to maths being impossible to understand for a long period of time, then suddenly easy to understand after that. IQ is relevant if you have to try and figure it out from first principles, but after that it probably only governs speed of learning rather than what can be done. This math in particular is not hard in the grand scheme, it is basically multiplication but a bit spiced up with multiple perspectives. And outrageously easy to implement wrong.

Although if you try to approach math expecting to be able to 'see' the answer with concepts you already understand it'll be painful. Real Math (TM, taught by Real Scotsmen) is learning to see things that you couldn't see before. The expectation is to encounter concepts that initially you can only access by symbol manipulation and in time, with training, become intuitive suddenly after a long period of practice.

They're paying out vests on the sales price in cash, which was higher than the value of the company. Normally equity comp places the price fluctuation risk on the employee, but in this case, they're directly eating this cost.

If they don't offer salaries that are competitive with other companies total comp, they will bleed employees, and won't be able to hire talented engineers.

So, no, this really doesn't help, and if anything it increases their direct costs.
Could you be more specific about these generally successful methods? If it is so simple, why are people looking for new/other strategies?
It's like that in nearly every country now.
