This is just RSS. It was released 23 years ago.

It was very popular and a big part of the web.

The model that harryvederci is describing is exactly what the internet looked like prior to the rise of Facebook/Twitter, during the dawn of Web 2.0.

Everyone had their own blog, on their own site. And you could curate your own feed of people you wanted to following using RSS feeds.
The moment you're manually typing a username it's game over. It should be rare to never that you need a specific user id, let alone a specific server. You should just have to see a user and click follow.
I feel like your data is secure

I don't care if it's secure. It's my data, not yours. You have no business hoarding it in the first place.

If I take copy of your diary without your permission and pinky-swear that I won't share it with anyone else, does that make it right?

Why do tech companies have such a hard time just doing the right thing?
Maybe not "first class" but there are definitely 6" tablet options running Windows.
Actually I'm Italian, living in France, so while I have had experience in USA where yes, I found very lacking and poorly maintained infra, with also a bit of complicate design, I'm curious if:

- you have tried to see how much Swiss invest in it's rails and other transport means

- are you, in person, able to live WITHOUT cars since you get so much public service

- you did consider that cars are used not only for private travels and trips but also for services, like a plumber with it's vast and not so light nor small tools, or ambulances etc so PURE public transport is not possible, while the inverse is pretty obviously possible if density it not too high

- how dense area like many Italian, France and Swiss cities can evolve, for instance in Green New Deal terms given that there is no room to demolish and rebuild and no way to really upgrade existent constructions

- have you see how costs of services skyrocketed here and there after being cheap for a long time, in the same lane of those who own who keep saying "do not own anything, it's cheaper and efficient rent than buy", with examples from tele-heating services to public transports

Long-story short: the USA have made bad infra probably because of short-term private economic interests, Swiss is on the opposite side of the spectrum but BOTH can't really evolve. Meanwhile we see talks like https://www.easa.europa.eu/sites/default/files/dfu/uam-full-... who clearly state a thing: we know the actual situation is messy and without a solution. Those who understand should go a bit far, divest from cities, already-made buildings etc BEFORE most realize the same...

Oh, BTW the distribute society was the human society for most of our history because before massive and quick logistics we all eat local food produced mostly at a short kilometric distance, we live with stuff mostly made locally. Commerce give a big push in human development but cities was always just used for concentrate workforce. Even in ancient Rome the rich was a bit "outside" to live better descending to the center only to work. Economy of scale works for economy, human on scales work to find fellow cohort but not more than that.
If the bug is a read-modify-write sequence without a transaction, then regardless of whether you wait for more confirmations, the withdrawal action will always be racy and vulnerable to this exploit.

Not waiting for confirmations would leave you vulnerable to random chain forks and make 51% attacks cheaper.
The dummy in video seems to be way closer to woman then just size. For example, it has breasts. Those matter for seat belt position. So yeah, it seems that dummy is more then just smaller.

But honestly, dont see issue. Men are loosing nothing in this. Male dummies will continue to be used too.
Big presentations at conferences may involve designers but there are surely many internal meetings at many levels that have a lot of PowerPoint and no designers.
Good luck! I'm also doing Nano and was supposed to be working on my novel but instead I wrote about the font I was using.
NFTs and Generative Art
Indeed: maybe not a full "RAII" kind of feature but at least something simple that allows the author to specify (around the same place where a resource allocation happened, e.g.) that some other symmetric behavior should take place on any scope exit point.
Voters approved a $3.91B tax to cover the light rail, minor improvements to bus onramps, and some commuter rail improvements.

The initial light rail was given an estimate of 1.8B of that 3.9B that voters approved, and year of expenditure costs were roughly 20% higher then that, but federal studies by the dept of transportation have evaluated the costs and believe that there was a period of unpredictable and unusual inflation. If you control for that, the project would have completed under it's original budget. Additionally, they did come under their revised budget and the Ulink extension has come in under budget too.

I guess I don't fault a transit authority for making a 10+ plan that makes reasonable assumptions about inflation given the information they have, and then deliver only slightly above budget after being impacted by said inflation.
Note that a 10" shorter waist is only about 1.5" on a side (diameter of 9 inches vs 12) which is noticeable but not as much as "10 inches" would make you think.
At this point it's moot to me.

Privacy concerns may well be overblown if one were able to objectively
assess facts. Perhaps Windows 11 is the most secure OS Microsoft have
ever produced :)

But I would still not use or trust it, for reasons the frog would not
ride on the scorpion's back, no matter how desperately it wants to
cross the river.

I've lived long enough to witness all of Microsoft's shenanigans, the
hostile takeovers, the insults to free software, the lies, the
threatening behaviour, the bribery, court cases, criminal convictions
and fines. Insomuch as a company can be, Microsoft are unethical to
the core. Indeed they are the paradigmatic untrustworthy company.

If you were to offer me a water-tight mathematical formal proof that
Microsoft's code was secure and private, I would still choose to use
to use something else.
That's really fat though.
It's arguably in the category of "pet peeve" more than anything else, but I really hate the ELI5 meme and suspect most people asking for it and/or trying to provide explanations that fit it have never had a five-year-old. Unless your target five year old is a five year old Terence Tao, and honestly even then, most of the time these are terrible.

ELI12 would make a lot more sense; old enough to have had enough life experience to hang some of these explanations off of, young enough to need simple explanations.
They wouldn’t, but this was a pretty bright staff scientist iirc.
Specifications are important, but it's funny how you arrive at them and what defining them over time reveals even if it's obvious on its face.

When I was doing work on default player mass on Planimeter Game Engine 2D, we would reference the average male weight to serve as the specification for player characters' mass so we would have some reasonable metric defined for physics calculations.

The team also did work on the Quake family of engines and so from time to time we would reference Source, and QuakeWorld.

It turned out that between the time that Valve's Source Engine had been written and the time that Planimeter Game Engine 2D was written, the average male weight had went up by a fair amount, because they too used an average male weight for the default player mass for their physics calculations as well.
Typescript supports exhaustive switches which are pretty powerful, especially when working with proper union types and the like.

You're just describing RSS feeds.
I am neurodivergent, so I may be missing something here. The argument seems pretty passionless. Excluding the assumption that C is unsafe, it contains purely facts.

Your reply doesn't point out the passionate component of it either, and doesn't answer my question.
> worker who Twitter asked to return rejected the offer because they felt 'used, and think they will be fired again soon.'

I mean, can you really blame them?
From my experience a company is more than happy to pay a lot for an external consultant that they can cut anytime, while they think long and hard about permanent costs like employees.
So, what is the best way to game the system? Make many offensive Power Point presentations or silly layouts and hope the system starts to recommend them to others?
Even the ideal woman isn't actually a sphere, or even a cylinder, no matter what the physicists say.
> Did we consent to this?

Yes, explicitly, and not in 60 pages of legalese, in a dialog box.
Mastodon just doubled its active user count to around one million; it's already benefited. It doesn't need to replace Twitter to succeed, just provide value to its userbase.
I'll bite: why the anonymous function throwing an Error in the first snippet?
Last week my calendar was a mess. Some meetings made by EU colleagues the time changed, meetings hosted by me or other US colleagues stayed the same, but time changed for EU colleagues. At least this week US changed.

I really wish we could just do away with changing times twice a year. It's really annoying and screws with all kinds of things. Currently, my cat, who does not care that the number on the clock is different than a few days ago.
On the other hand:

"Garbage collection vs. ARC"

https://atp.fm/205-chris-lattner-interview-transcript#gc
(Hacker News: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31139610)

This (sub)headline only makes sense if garbage collection and ARC are different concepts.
Microsoft and Google have OneDrive and Google Drive where most slide decks are stored anyway so in some ways this is barely newsworthy, on the other hand I guess if someone purposefully selected Office instead of Google slides for their presentations and thought using an offline app which doesn't save the files to their OneDrive would keep them secret might get surprised by this feature.
Not just toxic sites. Wildfires can really do a number on your lungs. As bad as Delhi's air pollution is, for a brief moment the air quality was worse in Portland Oregon due to a nearby wildfire.

Much as I love living out West, this might be the straw that breaks the camel's back.
Perl was awesome when no other options were available. And one will find many languages inherited its features, as is was great for parsing text.

"So how you wrote same app that have half a gig of dependencies in NodeJS ?"

Nope, some have greatness cast upon them... great heaping piles of steaming greatness... One likely already knows the greatness of which I speak. ;)
Sorry to hear that. There's a toggle switch for light mode if that helps.
Just 'spitballing', but if the restraints are adequate, the compression of flesh may act to slow down and spread out the force of the accident to a certain degree. Bruising may be more likely, and the increased overall force might break ribs and such, but increased weight may have some benefits at some speeds/in some scenarios.

Some possible downsides would be overwhelming the airbags capacity, and larger overall volume of space which needs to be protected from intrusion/crushing/etc. I Wonder how much this has been studied, hard rubber and steel dummies probably don't reflect conditions at the extremes very well...
Gas burners put out 3x-4x the power of an electric burner and have much lower thermal mass, so the acceleration in thermal power is much higher and the absolute thermal power is higher.

A large electric burner is 2400-3600 watts, a large gas burner can be 8-16 kw. I think induction could get better power delivery than gas with time.

You can get skillful with electric, you just have to see 30 seconds into the future and anticipate the thermal lag and overshoot when adjusting burner power.
Twitter has never shut down before. As has been said, instances go down all the time.
HBO's worst flagship show by far, not even close. Zero humor, emphasizing (even amplifying) the worst instincts of humanity (i.e. just to buy into the show's early premise you have to believe every male secretly wants to violently rape a random farm girl), multiple plot points hinging on the "shitty security" trope, new worlds and features and powers constantly introduced (surely due to writer's block -- hey look this "old west" park actually has a gorgeous beachfront that nobody ever developed). Just a dark, depressing, make-shit-up-on-the-fly, illogical mess.
The same goes for employee candidates. There are two types of candidates, and I'm the one you want to hire. :)

That's just hiring in general: most developers produce total crap.
Maybe convince management not to rewrite their core system.

Or listen to the requirements from a new system and propose an existing tool that solves 90% of them. Or explain why the library they were going to use solves a different problem and how they'll regret choosing it.

Or talk to folks and figure out why my proposed new design for a system doesn't cover all the needs of the old one (and eventually that some iteration of it _is_).

Or sketch possible algorithms for a difficult problem on a whiteboard / notepad until I figure out a good-enough solution.

Or talk to stakeholders about their needs and concerns regarding a new system I'm helping design.

Or talk to customers. Or help prepare a pitch or customer demo.

It's very rare that a customer feels it's worth paying me rate for writing code. Though it does happen, and when it does it's usually very interesting code with a very interesting story behind it.
Do we really need so many articles about Twitter? This exact topic has already been on the front page. It’d be cool if we just had one daily/weekly stickied topic.
>I enjoy making art, but I don't have the technical skill take the things I can visualize in my head commit them to a medium. AI art tools let me iterate using image transformation to get those things out.

what do you mean by iterate here? do you mean getting an outline from a model to base your work off of, or just using multiple pass throughs of the same image to create a desired final product? as I would not call the latter the process of making art
For Windows, check out simplewall, it does (almost) exactly that.

Doing nothing would literally bankrupt Twitter. It's massively unprofitable.

For comparison at $14k an ounce you would need 72,000 oz of rhodium, the most valuable PM, in order to hit a $1B.
Good for you? Let me know when DCS runs on Linux consistently without issue. Or, like, literally any VR system.
> What happened to computers being just fun and a source of exploration and freedom?

Having this experience isn't any harder than it was in the old days, it's just that there are so many more people participating in computing in some form that it's harder to find the people who truly own their computing experience.

The companies that made "personal computing" easy enough for the masses want to profit off of that, and they've settled on strip mining data and robbing user control as the best way to make money. This leaves their mass-marketed version of "personal computing" a hollow shell of the original, but it doesn't remove the original.

You can still install a privacy-friendly Linux or BSD with only FOSS software. You can still self-host your data and retain full control and privacy. What you can't do is benefit from the ease of use that mass-market computing provides while still retaining full individual control.
Because that would be more effort than posting clickbait.
Indeed, when I was very first learning to code I did this with arrays! Couldn’t understand the advantage of writing foo[0] and foo[1] over foo0 and foo1. And in some cases there isn’t really one. But of course arrays are very useful in general.
Bookshelf speakers in a small room only really need to be 4' apart, up to 6' or 8' for floor-standers in a large room. You could run the wires behind items on a shelf, under the floor, through a "wiremold" cover, paint the wire and tack it along a baseboard, or try "flat speaker wire".
Linux is on par with Windows kind of but not really. It's a little ghetto

For example, desktop environments are just wonky and buggy most the time, random games don't work, WINE is the worst piece of software on the planet, drivers suck, other random weird issues.
“ There isn't enough liquidity in the market to even sell that amount. “

That’s exactly my point ;)

If they overwhelm liquidity, the price can collapse because they can always underbid those trying to sell.

If you admit to a crime while testifying in a non-criminal matter, you can be charged with that crime and that testimony can be used against you. Therefore you can take the 5th in non-criminal cases - as you have a right not to incriminate yourself in future criminal matters. Therefore non-criminal courts can and do grant immunity against future prosecution (although I'm not sure if it's jurisdictional, ie whether federal bankruptcy court can grant you immunity against future state charges).
I agree that the title is editorialized, but calling it FUD seems a bit dismissive. From the intro to the article:

>This project demonstrates how OpenSea administrators can take any tokens minted on the OpenSea Shared Storefront. This is a previously-undocumented backdoor.
I bricked my Linux system while trying to uninstall python, on one of the most "user friendly" systems, and they had no way to restore like Windows does with system restore.

I'm still using it because Windows requires accounts now and screw that, but man, Linux has tried hard to get me to go do something else.

I do not understand how these projects are just so consistently bad at UX. It takes effort, but UX should be priority number one, even over new functionality.
No, he had $500k in stolen crypto. This was 2012.
Help me understand how cost scaling doesn't fix the problem of "players with money can simply massively burden the minor players, often to bankruptcy." If it becomes more costly for players with more money to burden minor players, then would they not burden minor players less?
Securing the borders from what? If he was worried about NATO he would be beefing up troop deployments along the borders of Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia where he has withdrawn troops and he wouldn't have his military completely bogged down in Ukraine. Why would Russia need to secure borders anyway? Who is going to invade on foot? They have nuclear weapons and would have a justifiable reason in using them if they were wantonly invaded.

It seems so many want to run away from the straightforward situation which is that Putin wanted to take Ukraine or decapitate its government and make it more like Belarus, and he thought that he would be able to do it. Everything else is a sideshow at best, and Russian propaganda at worst.
Analogy is not an argument.
Well then, mineral extraction woes be damned, I’m for them!

I never learned how to use a car with a missing pedal. For example, how do you tell it to produce adequate power right now (not 3 seconds from now) so you can pull out into busy traffic or overtake?

When can I rent a manual Corolla at a US airport?
At the end of the day, I don't think it actually is that complicated. The narrative style makes it sound that way (since I wrote it as a culmination of trying a few different things), but the final setup with the Pi only took about 3 hours including the patching.

The two constraints that I mentioned in the post should help explain the residual complexity: I didn't want to buy any new equipment (including a Bluetooth dongle, which I don't own), and I wanted the setup to be maximally accessible to my friends and family while still working with my own computers (in different rooms). AirPlay and DLNA achieve that; Bluetooth is finnicky and wouldn't connect at the distance between my receiver and my office.
In many cases the woman drives the "mom van" (minivan or SUV) to shuttle kids around, and the man drives "the car" (usually a sedan of some sort) to work and back each day.

With all these studies it's very important to correct for various differences and interpret the data. I suspect Volvo, for example, has a pretty good idea on these things (because they wouldn't compare all vehicle but particular models, etc).

Sorry.
Wasn't Hegel a contemporary of Goethe? What effect did both of them have on each other?
I mean, it sounds pretty complex to start with.
I was consulting in 08-10, the last tough time. Anecdotally, it was ~fine, but you need to be okay dealing with more chaos in your life. Your budget comes out of different pools of money than the FTEs, which means you can be hired during layoffs, but those pools of money don't "recur" the same way, which means you're going to have to have several clients ready to sell/pitch to. You're always 2-3 months from being "laid off", but because of that, you have some control over what might happen.
Airbnb changes price display on app after customer complaints
Interesting angle.

Even if this only works in smokestacks, it is hugely valuable. We will be stuck with some fossil fuel in the coming few years at least. Making those years less polluting is worthwhile.

I suppose there is a risk that people say "we can do fossil fuel a bit longer, we scrub it now", but I think that will pretty soon be a clearly untenable position.
From the start.
Well, immediately after they say yes, so it actually seems a little (not much) less clickbait.
Picking an ISP should be transparent - my usage of internet services, like with whom I communicate - isn't influenced by it. I can change my ISP any time and no one will even notice, no one will have to be informed about a changed address.

Picking an email provider is quite critical - if you change your email address, you can be only reached if everyone knows your new address, lets not even get started about where the email is used to identify you with other serviced.

I think your choice of a a mastodon server falls in the middle ground between those examples, at minimum, there needs to be a bit more education of users to overcome (perceived?) hurdles there. I can confirm that while I noticed mastodon before, earlier attempts to use it stopped at the question on how to select the proper node and what consequences that has. That might be a perceived problem, but one that needs to be overcome if mastodon should be a popular Twitter alternative.
Have you used the Designer feature? That’s what’s being talked about. It should prompt you when you first use it.

If you’re on a work account, your admin may have enabled or disabled it already with GPO/MDM.

That still doesn't point out the emotion in the comment. Your reply here would work as a reply to the root comment, but doesn't address what I am asking at all. Where is the passion?
You’re correct here. Even historically federated services, like email, are referred to by grandmas as “my AOL”. They don’t even think about the fact that others don’t have AOL, they just grab a name out of an address book they’ve been building for the last 20 years.

Just because email exists as a federated thing doesn’t mean existing users could use it if they had to sign up for it again.
According to [1] there are crash test dummies used to represent newborn, 12-month, 3-year-old, 6-year-old and 10-year-old children.

They also have a 5th-percentile adult female dummy, which is closer in height and weight to the 10-year-old dummy than to the 50th-percentile-male dummy.
