On the github page (https://github.com/pulse-browser/browser) under "Features", it cites "QR Code Generator". I'm puzzled by this feature - both for bare curiosity, but also for a browser that is intended to be somewhat minimalist. Does someone know what the use-case would be for this feature? (Not knocking this feature, just curious.)
Anyone reading this who might be on the fence... this project is 10/10 excellent.

It's absolutely worth doing.
My village is divided in four zones, every year they prepare a parade for the village festival and the best one win a prize.
The classification is made by a selected jury made by theater director, actors, writers, etc.
Every year people that attend the parade complained about the winner being not the best one according to the common taste. So I wrote a web app to permit vote by SMS (nothing fancy).
It was a great project to learn web development and Go for backend.

Everybody? It's been the language for open source software since the beginning. "Who likes C?" is a different question, but using it is often just plain practical. Almost all mainstream languages are syntactically close to C, so it's easy to read. Documentation for using C interfaces ships with every *nix, making it easy to write. Memory safety and footguns don't matter at all for the vast majority of programs, especially not the short and simple "do-one-thing"-type programs that are most non-commercial code.
FWIW: I don't do tests because of how I learned programming writing large swaths of code for weeks that had then to work perfectly the first time (embedded C on a machine with very poor development process and external company that had to sign the binary before I could run my code). I taught myself rigorous thinking about code and various techniques that make it less likely that there is something wrong with it, otherwise I would be loosing a week before I got another chance to run it. I also then worked in a lot of projects with poor code quality and no test coverage that I had to run extensive refactors of and keep hammering on until it looked decently. With this in mind, unit tests have never been useful to me in any way and would be just a waste of time because they would not bring any benefit to anybody else I worked with.

It is not that I believe tests do not work. Tests is a viable solution to a problem. The issue with tests is that you have to do a lot of things right and you have to structure your development in certain way for tests to be productive. And if you don't do a lot of things right then tests will just cost a lot of development time without much benefits.

Introducing unit testing is hard if your team isn't already doing it and costs a lot of effort for practically no immediately visible effect to stakeholders.

Very few organisations I worked in would be at maturity level when investing in unit testing would be the highest return on investment thing you could do at the moment. There is usually many other problems that cause less disruption to development practices and bring much more benefits than unit testing.

On the other hand I am a huge fan of functional testing where you create a test harness that ensures that public interface of your product (application) functions as expected. The effort is much smaller (you only evaluate public interface which already is integrated with other things and which isn't expected to be changing a lot anyway), the benefits are clearly demonstrable and understood by stakeholders.
It's all about trust, these "exchanges" are very popular in the news, and yet when you look at their volume, they are insignificant players

The real question you should ask is why the insignificant players are more prominent in the news than the big, and trusted players?

Why would you ever think Apple's tools should be doing anything other than serving the interests of their owners? The whole system has worked so well for us by driving massive innovation through the credible promise of being able to use what you created for your own benefit.
The thing that stops companies from abusing their users like this is not any should statement attached to their product, it's the fear of losing all their customers to a competitor, which is not a credible threat to a company as large, entrenched and good at using the walled garden strategy as apple. The correct thought here is not a should statement that will never happen (and shouldn't happen because if we make it true it will fundamentally break the innovation machine). The correct thought here is "Apple is way too big and has way too much market power. We need to use the existing antitrust system and break this company up." This correct thought is not unique to apple either, it's equally applicable to many tech companies, apple just happens to be in the small cadre of the worst of the worst.
> Between 2009 and 2018, the proportion of adolescents reporting no sexual activity, either alone or with partners, rose from 28.8 percent to 44.2 percent among young men and from 49.5 percent in 2009 to 74 percent among young women. [...] These respondents to the confidential survey ranged in age from 14 to 49 years.

"Young" extending to 49 aside ... almost half of American men and three quarters of women have no "partnered sex" and also don't masturbate at all? That sounds implausibly high, am I misunderstanding something?

Striking headline and summary data, but I don't like that the surveyors seem cagey about releasing the full data. Why should you have to contact they to get it vs. just putting it out there for transparency?

Surely the true number isn't 0 for each, but it may not be that high - or at least people may not be as willing to be upfront or see it that way.

>Methodology
>This survey was commissioned by ResumeBuilder.com and conducted online by the survey platform Pollfish on November 2, 2022. In total, 1,000 participants in the U.S. were surveyed. All participants had to pass through demographic filters to ensure they were age 18 or older, currently employed for wages or self-employed, and manage at least 25% of the hiring at their workplace. For full survey results, please contact pr@resumebuilder.com.

Programming is the tool you use.
CS is the study of all that is possible to achieve in this computational domain, how to achieve it efficiently, the limitations that you will have to deal with, ...etc

In the physical domain I think a more apt analogy would be mechanical engineering vs. fabrication.

Some nuances:

1. by CS one can understand both the practice of using CS principles to design modern efficient computational systems, and also CS research.
2. programming alone would not get you very far, so a lot of people normally mean, programming + database knowledge + systems design when they are talking about somebody who does programming.

One of the first things I looked up, as a budding Turbo C developer in the DOS era, as it held all manner of secrets.

I seem to recall 'one guy' had this hand-curated master list of interrupts. Might've been this list; perhaps another.

I was obsessed with TSR programs back then. The notion that you can run a background process (in exchange for gobbling up all-valuable conventional memory) thanks to clever hacking really captured my eye back then.

What is your delivery mechanism, dose, dosing schedule, and resultant blood free/total testosterone concentrations?

If you're not 800-1000 ng/dl and injecting yourself regularly, you are doing it wrong and need to find a new doctor.

This is true, but if testosterone is what makes humans aggressive, wouldn't I have been ... aggressive, with 10 peoples worth in me, were that the case?

My point was to illustrate how reductionist that kind of thinking is.

This is true, to expand a bit I would say that love of money is greed and greed is a sin which taints the soul.

In Christianity the two most important commandments are the love of God above all and your neighbour second (Matthew 22-35) so following this you should use your earthly processions to feed the hungry and help the poor as Jesus would have (remember how the bread multiplied when it was shared..)

> who denies the reproductive rights of others.

It's funny that this is somehow forgotten when we're talking about men... if we allow women to abort children due to any reason, even financial ones or "i just don't want a kid now", paper abortions for men should be a thing too (sign a paper, give up all rights and obligation to/from the kid).
> these meds will suppress testosterone production from your own body and you might be dependent on such meds for the rest of your life.

Dependent while taking them, sure. Need a cite that says testosterone production won't restart upon cessation.

This is also operating under the assumption that you have anything to suppress: if you're <=200ng/dl, you're not losing much in my humble opinion.

The benefits of exogenous testosterone far outweigh the lifetime commitment aspect.

Advice from a T2 Diabetic and regular Keto dieter.

If you have never given up sugar before, it will take at least 6-8 weeks of non-use before the cravings go away. These will be some of the hardest weeks too.

1) everything has sugar in it, and you have to absolutely avoid it, not just sweets, fruits, juices, I'd even tell you diet drinks and artificial sweeteners too. That means no ketchup, sauces, breads, and most processed and store bought foods.

2) your body will do everything to remind you about those easy access sugars. During your detox, you will have cravings, dreams about sweets, even the overwhelming urge to eat stuff you might not even thing about "oh god, i could really go for some prunes right now" sort of thing.

After your body gets it figured out that your no longer getting access to easy glucose it calms the hell down. You'll notice one day that sweets just don't seem that appealing. You'll get better at detecting sweetness in things you would have never considered sweet, like lettuce.

I warn you sugar is insidious and everywhere. One day, you will sit down to some mundane meal, nothing special about it. After a few bites, you will say, wow this is wonderful, its the best thing I have ever tasted, I absolutely must have more of this very mundane thing, I'll need seconds, thirds, more if available. That meal you were eating was loaded down with sugar, it probably didn't taste sweet but it will taste like the best thing ever. That's how sugar gets you.

'pubnixes/tildes' - no idea what this means.

Edit: a little digging and "A tilde is a multi-user online system designed to be a "home" for users by providing services such as shell access via SSH, email, small site hosting (on www, gopher, gemini), chat, or other programs. It is a loose term, akin to a public access unix systems (a.k.a. pubnixes), but with some connotations of a small community" https://tilde.wiki/wiki/Tilde

Do you think women have always been the secondary “submissive” gentile gender? There’s a lot of cultures and a lot of history.

This is similar to people saying trans people have never existed. Instead of seeing the western world as abnormally sexist, homophobic, and transphobic. IE the way the British treated hijras (men identifying with feminine traits) when they took over India in the late 1800s. Before and since then (though this is affected by how awful the British were), hijras weren’t treated equally, but much better than the abusive and bigoted Europeans.

From my experience interviewing for FAANG or unicorn roles.

* Nobody asked culture-fit questions

* Nobody was interested in portfolio, side projects, or GitHub.

* I was not asked questions related to the role.

* Only presented with a leetcode screen

If you move away from the FAANG/unicorn scene, the interview process becomes more personable, and I was actually asked questions related to the role.

Area 5150, a Reflection
I think charitable giving has mostly secondary or tertiary benefits and those are mostly "trickle down" or just velocity of money effects. it gets some hoarded wealth into circulation which was a big issue the last 20 years with lower rates and quantitative easing etc, creating so much hoarded cash (look at corporate cash balances and hedge fund / VC / PE assets the last 10 years as a clue)

like the covid vaccines weren't possible because charity, but because science, the two are in no way equivalent. and there is evidence (not proof) from the last 150 years that capitalism enables science at a much higher multiple than charitable giving.

FYI, ClickUp does have real-time chat which is I think the only feature you note on the compare page that Upbase has that ClickUp does not.
Also, this might not be a popular opinion but this sales pitch just doesn’t do it for me, “At first, it might seem great that you can do everything with [ClickUp], but after a while, you realize you don’t need that many features.”

It would be nice to see a comparison with Linear.

It brings me to another question to ponder about: how can I imagine my life without getting influenced from Americanization? I really feel too much of it everywhere, and would like new perspectives. The issue seems that other countries are not as good as them in sales, marketing, and advertising. Hence, we live in American airs almost always.

One reason of this push is internet and communication technology. Most of what you use in computer, and phone is made in China (hardware), designed in US (software).

The last time there was a slowdown like this one in Silicon Valley, it lasted three years, from 2000 to 2003.

Back in 2000, many tech companies were buying products services from, and selling products services to, one another. When the flow of fresh capital from VCs and IPOs dried up in mid-2000, money-losing tech companies cut spending to conserve cash, reducing revenues at other tech companies, which in turn did the same, and this dynamic became self-reinforcing process affecting the entire tech ecosystem, first gradually and then "suddenly." Tech companies that had been growing at double-digit annual rates in 1999 found themselves with sudden, "unexpected," double-digit revenue declines a couple of years later. Many tech companies that couldn't make cash last for three years failed during this unpleasant period, including many which had good products and capable teams.

If the current wave of layoffs and revenue slowdowns gradually becomes a self-reinforcing process affecting the entire tech ecosystem, it could take a long while for the layoffs and revenue declines to end. These things can take a life of their own, and individual companies can't stop it, because they must cut spending to survive.
