I agree that CGNAT sucks -- for the user. But users don't exactly have a ton of power here. And CGNAT is mostly fine for anyone but power users; I've never experienced being blocked or excessive CAPTCHAs when on a CGNATed cell network.
Somebody from Duolingo turned engrish.com into a museum exhibit? I guess sites over twenty years old now count as museum worthy history.
Your comment shows you have no experience with the power of targeted ads and how it’s an order of magnitude better than “targeting venues with audiences”.

yeah, what is he saying there?
Yeah, I don't understand how this could've taken more than a couple of e-mails when the work was already done. Why the heck wouldn't Julian ask Markus to step in once he became uncomfortable with e-mailing Carl? Why didn't he just say "ok this took me X hours, so X euros is fair compensation"?

It's very hard for me to read this in a way where Julian doesn't come off as, at best, an idiot, and at worst, an asshole who thinks writing two pages of text is equivalent to the thousands of hours of labor the five Mojang employees had put into the project at the time.

I ended up paying for iCloud and buying a Mac. There is an option to automatically sync full copies to Mac. They charge a premium but it works flawlessly.

Caveat 1: it's technically a sync, not a backup. The risk remains that Apple deletes all my pictures remotely, and this deletion propagates to delete my local copies. There is still a recycle bin, but perhaps Apple has some way of deleting even that remotely. I don't think so, but it's a risk. To mitigate this, I periodically download all pictures to "cold" storage. It's fragmented and poorly categorised but at least the pictures are there in the case of a catastrophe.

Caveat 2: this only works in the Apple ecosystem.

For Unraid/Windows (Docker), I found this: https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/tsxi5k/icloudpd...

I often hear the argument that the average user does not care about privacy, but I don't think that this is true.

Instead I think the average user is just not aware of the insane amount of data that is exfiltrated and what can be done with that data, because the software does not make it clear what it actually is doing.
You are spied on just as much with or without said client side scanning.

The features were almost certainly related to each other given their timeline, even if one did not end up shipping.
> OpenBLAS, the BLAS linear algebra library that things like Julia and NumPy use by default now, was an MIT Julia Lab project.

I kind of love how not having the Internet meant a lot of 'inventing' things on your own. I also 'discovered' RLE and Shannon-Fano coding amongst many other already discovered things. But it was a total blast and good for the mind.
> What are they gonna do

Personally, I'm using Haxe with its Lua backend. While wrapping Lua APIs is a pain, and some dynamic patterns are hard to represent directly, Haxe provides a lot of the things that Lua lacks: a gradual static type system, more familiar JS-based syntax, syntactic sugar for lambdas, sane handling of `this` in methods, control over inlining, immutable variables, generics, null safety, powerful hygienic macros, somewhat usable standard library, extension functions (Kotlin/Scala3 like), partial function application, hash and array comprehensions, functional operators on collections, limited operator overloading via abstracts, built-in LSP server, and a lot more.

I do this in the context of scripting my window manager, and plan to try this with Nginx/OpenRESTY. I feel like pairing LuaJIT runtime with Haxe compilation creates incredibly powerful combination. Lua provides coroutines, tail call elimination including corecursive functions, lightweight and fast JITed VM, a package manager (luarocks), bindings to important C libraries, FFI, reflection (everything is a table anyway), and more. The integration between Haxe and Lua is not yet seamless, and Lua compiler backend is one of the least developed, but even in this state I'm very happy with the combination of compile-time and run-time features I get.
The statistical pattern noted at large rallies is likely repeatable at places like the dragon in the Smokies on a busy summer weekend. No rally necessary - the combination of roads, terrain, and participants predicts the result.

In a similar way, a simple query of participants would predict the result:

1. Do you drink alcohol on days when riding a motorcycle?
2. Have you had professional training on your motorcycle, sponsored by your state or otherwise?
3. Have you read a motorcycle safety book by David Hough?
4. Do you follow published guidance on motorcycle safety gear?

https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/what-we-wear-p1-david-l-hough...

The one downside to state training programs is that if the populace senses that completion of the program is a rubber-stamp license, safety behavior that follows will not match expectations. There were at least a few accidents during licensing at my state-subsidized training and licensing twenty years ago that didn't bode well for the required performance, the safety of the rider on public roads, or the system that licenses people.
Self driving encompasses a bunch of things. Obstacle detection is one. Vehicle control, including micro adjustments, is one. Path planning is another one.

GPS is one way of doing one part of self driving. But it's ALL self driving
I know it's a bit offtopic, but why is being a donor an opt-in instead of an opt-out process?

In our country, every employee has to pass a medical exam every ~3 years, and the same for college students. We could implement the opt-out option, give a grace period of eg. 5 years, where everyone could be explicitily asked if they want to opt-out (just sign this form) at a medical institution (or mail in, or sign a form online), and after that, everyone not opted out would become a donor.

I don't care what happens to my organs after I die, but I'm one of the many who are to lazy to actually go to a proper place to fill out a proper form to become a donor.
It's emblematic for his entire inability to talk about money. He didn't want to talk about money, but he also didn't want his agent to do it for him. He has some highly idealistic beliefs about how money is not important, but he struggles to pay rent.

I love his story, I sympathise, and I want Microsoft, or Notch, or Mojang, to just give him a million dollars. But I can also see that his financial struggles are mostly his own doing. And probably his own choice. He wants to live in a world that's not about money, but he also wants to be able to pay rent.
Its almost like one is fascism is a kind of authoritarianism.
>I'm curious why you need multiple subnets at home; I at one point had separate subnets because I was using a wifi client as a ip level router, but was wondering what your use-case is.

Not OP, but there are many use cases. First is device isolation so untrusted devices can be put in their own network while you can selectively add ressources from your main network via VLANs and add simple firewall rules because the untrusted network is a different interface on your VM than the others.

Second, you might want to put any managment interfaces (and ssh-enabled IPs) on a seperate network both for ease of organization and security.

Third, if you want to have your network services configured differently for different clients (think VPN vs local clients, adblocking DNS for mobile only) it's a lot easier to do that for whole subnets.
When I did my bike license the instructor outlined how different the approach to safety is between my EU country and the States. Here a helmet is required to drive. But not glasses. In US glasses are required, but no helmet. Meaning, the US cares about you not endangering other people, but you do you, whereas here they care about you not dying.

From a purely utilitarian perspective, the US approach actually makes more sense. And more donors. Win-win.
> A good engineer should know how the computers work, and I don't know why this should be even questioned.

I am not disputing this point, I agree with it.

I am saying there is a difference between knowing int can overflow or knowing that floating point numbers are imprecise, and being attentive when you read `a + b` or `a == b` with float.
I believe only experience can teach that (such experience may or should be provided by school).
Interesting, what do you use to generate this?
Oh yeah all those things have never been seen in a blog post. But you are missing the point.
I don't see any problem with this. Buying a building for £15M doesn't make you £15M poorer because you can sell the building later. Additionally, as the funding came from a grant specifically for this purpose, it's not money they could have spent on other things, but the money they save by not paying conference centres can be spent elsewhere.
Did he not honor the informal agreement?

To me the agreement sounds like they bought the right to use the story as the ending to the game. They didn't agree on signing over the rights to the story, and he said if he knew that would have been part of the deal he wouldn't have agreed. He was caught by surprise when he found that language in the contract. Sure he was negligent in not following up when the contract didn't match his expectations, but so was Mojang for not ensuring the contract was signed before using his work.
Config can also be made reproducible with VM images, containers, home-built packages, configuration-management tools (ansible, puppet, …) or a mix of all or some of them.

Nix/Guix is no silverbullet.
Their readme linked from the article mentions both D3D9On12 and dxvk as some of the licensed software being used:
https://downloadmirror.intel.com/761751/readme.txt

They may be using both of those. They mention in the video linked from the article that the driver is choosing between native and the hybrid approach where appropriate, depending on what game/app is running. Maybe they also choose between different hybrid options as well?
I've always thought of new year's celebrations as kind of silly so thanks for making them meaningful to me!

That's more a case of selection bias.

Those who had portraits made of them when they died, like the Fayum Portraits, tended to be wealthier Egyptians who weren't outside working in the sun as much as the poorer ones.

Also, the Fayum area that "Fayum Portraits" gets its name from is not too far from Cairo, which is in the Northern part of Egypt, where peoples skin color tended to be lighter than those in the far south of Egypt, as you got closer to what was Nubia.
It often is. Groups are not just a number of isolated people each doing their thing, they have group dynamics, and they influence society at large. Like how men (a group) could put off women from applying for a STEM job back in the day.

That doesn't mean the group is black people of course.

But it could very well be the way the 1% class group is running things, or how the top 10% shapes culture and society's direction sucking to them...
IKR? To think as a kid I was more interested in nature, but also electronics and mechanical things but then the computer... everything else was just left behind... Nothing could compare to the fascinating infinite.
I've also replaced a Ubiquiti EdgeRouter with a spare PC I had around. It was a small form factor thing, I don't need WiFi, so I replaced the WiFi card with a M.2 Ethernet card[1], which gives me two network interfaces. The point is pretty much anything is powerful enough to be a router now.

(Actually my setup is more complex, as the machine is powerful enough to run a few VMs, so I pass through one of the PCI devices to a firewall VM, which means the VM host doesn't even see the outside world.)

One thing to watch out for is Intel released some bad 2.5Gbe hardware (e.g. earlier versions of the I225-V). I even have a more recent one that seems to have issues (even when running the latest Linux from kernel.org). You can find Realtek cards though, which seem to work better (yeah, who'd have thought that would be the case).

> Emailing a large company can result in waiting for a reply taking 3-5 business years. Live chat gets me a response relatively quickly.

I've had the same experience, and I don't understand why. In both cases, someone needs to read what you write and reply to it with a message. Why can't the just treat email just like live chat?

I dislike live chat because it forces me to wait for their responses (I'm looking at you, Amazon, minutes to type 10 words?) and dedicate time to it instead of putting all the information into an email and sending it and communicating asynchronously.

A pre-planned route != self-driving (in my opinion).

I say that because it's not driving itself, it's driving a route you plotted or recorded.

You can't take that same tractor and have it work on your neighbors pasture as-is, it has to be programmed.

But again, this is getting into a semantics debate. Personally I'd prefer to differentiate using autonomous and automated, self-driving is too ambiguous.
Agreed. It will always be pre-programmed GPS because it’s the only way for a tractor to get an absolute position and heading without a star tracker and a sophisticated dead reckoning system (expensive gyros and accelerometers) or an electronic perimeter.

Tractors don’t sit idle all of the time, the owners swap out tractor attachments so their “user experience” depends on handling the transition between manual driving and automatic operation, even if that UX is limited to “too far from first waypoint, try again.”
"My potato has 47 assholes"
I got used to it to the point where I don't notice unless I'm in silence. If I am exposed to loud noise for a sustained period such as a bar, concert or otherwise it will be much more pronounced the following day. Sleeping without a fan or ambient noise is a non-starter which makes hotel stays which has quiet aircon or fans a challenge. Hope you find what works for you.
If you're still using Microsoft or Google services at this point, you deserve what you get.
And, the package selection in RHEL is much smaller than in, say, Debian or Ubuntu [1]. There are the popular EPEL repositories with lots of extra packages, but these are community-maintained on a best-effort basis.

[1] And I think the Ubuntu 'guarantees' only apply to the 'main' repository, not the MUCH larger 'universe'.
And?

Who do you think would pay JD to generate this data otherwise?

The customers of course.
If I’m driving a car, and hit a brick wall that someone’s put in the middle of the road, it’s inarguable that this is a failure of my driving. There are no hairs to split here.
The DoET by Norman featured, to my memory, a very memorable praise for the at-the-time car design, where the driver could interact with buttons and knobs while not having to take his eyes off the road, simply by the proxy of being able to feel roughly the layout of the controls.

Then the automotive industry went and changed it all with touch screens. Yes the cars have become safer with so many innovations for passanger safety, but I wonder if we went too far with all the screens.
No, I don't care to discuss this further.

There has been a ridiculous pile on. People are quite hostile, not "curious", and I don't see any reason to believe that trying to discuss my firsthand experience in this discussion will be in any way productive. I'm trying to step away from the discussion because I don't believe any good can possibly come from engaging with such a hostile atmosphere.
It baffles me that in the US you can throw an employee out on a day-to-day basis and there's so little job security. In EU countries I know, this can only happen with some out-of-the-books cheap labor employment. Stronger laws protect employees, not businesses.

US? Little job security, hospitals you want to stay out of due to life-destroying costs, ultra high homelessness, little safety overall and the "American Dream" being reserved for sociopaths with no empathy nor morals.
Lol. A bunch of needs pretending to understand business. Yiu'vw never run point on 6-7 figure procurement, nor will you ever.

A bit off-topic. Saw a lot of posts lately about layoffs. I feel in Europe, at least Germany, and Sweeden, we are having the opposite issue to the USA: staff shortage. In Frankfurt airport, I saw an ad by Lufthansa that they are hiring 20,000 people from ground staff to IT. In Stockholm, some trains got canceled due to staff shortages.

To me the post is about how he wrote a story for a friend, that friend didn't treat him like a friend, and how he was hurt by that. It sounds like the post was about letting him vent his pain and frustration and reach some level of emotional catharsis, as well as officially releasing the story to the public domain.
The answers seemed generic but I didn't even notice. This is just going to get worse over time, isn't it?
Another factor is not everyone is a hacker who reads their email after sending a form or understands how all this works in the first place. Most people have {e|g}mail because it’s that sign-in thing that their hacker relative set up for them.

Another big chunk of people doesn’t get that they can tap on a chat button, that’s why it flashes and pops up automatically or after a timeout of inactivity, which means a user is probably confused.

I wish there were levels of accessibility in the web tech. So you could specify not only whether a user can see or hear at all, but also select from few levels of computer knowledge, from beginner to confident to 30 years of software development, so everyone could get a reasonable experience.

Russian Forces have been hours from collapse ... for the last six months. Any day now. Eventually Ukraine will run out of Western goodwill and local manpower. If you are victorious until the last man and the last bullet, you still lose.

That is not going to happen because it sets a dangerous precedent against other countries who do something like the Russians do now every five to ten years.

> Why not offer 1 million for the signed contract?

Because they believed (erroneously or not) that they already had paid for the thing the contract was about, and were offering a "peppercorn" payment for the signature itself to make the exchange complete.

I've never even looked at the poem and have beaten Minecraft many times. I'm probably not the target audience though, I generally skip quest text in games.
I've seen a live chat implementation that starts as a chat bot, but switches you to a person after a few clicks and you can't find what you need. I felt that was a perfect compromise.

> Edit: To make everything a bit clearer, the idea with this "ipv4+" is that you don't need the complexity of running both ipv4 and ipv6 as you do now.

I find that very wild optimism.

- You will still get two incompatible address space V4 and V4+ and that would imply:
-> You still need to modify your software to adapt for V4+ for the transition.

-> Most of your middlebox and firewall rules will get in the way for anything served over V4+. Exactly like for V6

-> DNS would still need to be updated with new record and it will be the same mess

It would be mostly the same mess.

IPv6 has its quirks, but let's be honest: the main problem with Ipv6 is not technical any-more.

The main reason the switch does not happen is that there is no business incentive to switch to IPv6 for most companies and consequently, most companies do not give a fuck.
I developed a Tinnitus many years ago because of an SSRI. It bugged me for years until I found out about Bacopa. I started taking Bacopa every morning, and 3 weeks later my tinnitus was so low that I forgot it was there. Today I still have a bit left, but not nearly as bad as before. When it comes back, I take Bacopa again and within weeks it gets much better. Cheers
> Consider the alternative: for example, you could give the money to charity that works in developing countries.

Why not both? I am happy for my tax rates to go up - indeed, I will vote for any political party that advocates this - and donate to developing countries (and also food banks in the UK because we are shamefully bad at being a developed country.)
Some of the new pieces do hold up, but some sound obviously out of place - IMHO.
I don't want to have ads as, and if I have to see I don't want them to be hyper-targeted. I don't remember one time a ad had made me buy something. If I want to buy a new device I look his spec and some review.

I understand that unfortunately ads are here to stay, but I'd like to see more context-based ads (like on ddg), they seem to be a good compromise for me: they still serve ads, I can still ignore them and they don't profile me.

Also I really dislike the idea that some people are ok or even prefer being tracked across the internet because they want to see ads for some whatever thing they like.That is some dystopian level thinking.
