I mostly just find the title fun. But I guess my main issue with clickbait is more the bait-and-switch when the result doesn’t live up to expectations. I felt like I had a reasonable idea that what was inside wouldn’t be a waste of time from the words in the title. There are plenty of articles posted on this site with dry titles that don’t match the body, which seems worse to me.
I'm super happy for them. When they've got this version available off of Windows, I'll contribute some more to their, uh, new reality.
I definitely agree with that but it's a whole other thing. It's a travesty that we don't have walkable cities and we are all hostage to cars and parking to get anywhere. All us 'New World' countries like the US, Canada, Australia, NZ had our cities emerge in the age of cars so they were never built for humans to begin with. Europe and Asia feel more like they made space for cars but didn't design for them.

The change will be radical but we need mixed use areas where we can live, work, shop and play all together and not commute all over the damn place.
Why cant you currently do those things then?
A "people are saying" piece doesn't have numbers. This is reporting on polling, which is more concrete and actionable.

The link is just picking out certain numbers they think are noteworthy. They link to the actual poll results, which are considerably more detailed.

It's not the headline I would have chosen, which would be more to the tune of "People more concerned about energy costs than the climate". But that's pointing at a cause rather than just noting the fact, which is that climate change denial is growing despite weather that might have been expected to change minds.

(They chose "skepticism", which I don't consider an appropriate word, but it is the commonly-accepted term.)

At its core, a Bitcoin address is a public/private key pair used to sign data. One type of data you can sign is a Bitcoin transaction, which when signed and valid, gets processed by the Bitcoin network. "Send 0.01 BTC to xyz" -- signed retrac. But it's standard public key cryptography, and you can use that key to sign any kind of data.

The signature in question was not posted to the Bitcoin network. It's almost exactly like signing an email with a PGP signature. The message/signature pair alone are proof that the message was signed by the key in question.

2) Yes. Anyone with the private key could sign a message. And for clarity, such things are not date-stamped in a secure way, so there's no way to know when it was signed.

For me, one major incongruity is that, it is possible to post such data to the Bitcoin network. If you need a permanent record of when a key signed something, that's honestly about the only thing blockchains are good for! Hal Finney understood this very well. So when he allegedly signed that message 8+ years ago for future generations to finally know the truth, why didn't he take advantage of an architecture, that he helped create, that enables making such claims in a (more) verifiable manner?

Maybe this is a silly question, but is there much value in a 4-byte binary code compared to a human-readable log with human-readable codes? Maybe size, but logfmt especially is not much less compact than binary data.

> I'm afraid that Apple's control over the device risks governments making Apple their police

It's already happening. We must oppose it.

The only person who should be in control of the device is the user who owns it. Absolutely no one else. Our computers are sacred ground that no one else may enter without permission.

Over the past four years, I have come to avoid using Linux for anything not needing Docker or not run as a supported image in the cloud.

The divergent distributions and design philosophies are nice when they produce positive change (systemd is just fine as an init). But more often than not, it produces four different equally bad ways to configure an ethernet device, still no real third party installation mechanism and depreciation of tools because someone at RedHat needed an epic.
Had the wrong opinions.
I expect new code is being mostly written in Swift but there’s still lots of C, C++ and Objective C code that has to be maintained.

WebKit is a huge C++ codebase for example.

I've been using it for some of my work for a few months now, after a multi-year hiatus because it always, no matter which version I installed, slowed to a crawl after a short while of use. Now that I've restarted using it.......... Same damn thing as before: If I open more than a couple of tabs and leave it running for a couple hours, the whole thing slows to a crawl. This problem has persisted for me across nearly a dozen laptops over several years. I don't think it's specific to something I'm doing wrong. (though I'm happy to be corrected on this so I can finally fix that thing and use firefox regularly)

Chrome on the other hand can be open with dozens of tabs (yes I'm a tab hoarder, sorry) and run just fine. I don't like Google in so many ways, but damn is it hard to argue against using chrome over FF when FF keeps being so damn stupidly shitty on lightness of use.

My daily work laptop is admittedly pretty low-spec, but if one damn browser doesn't make it crawl, why should it be so hard for the other damn browser that promotes itself so heavily to pull off the same thing?

Conclusión from this little corner of the browser user space: Firefox, get your shit together finally please? It's been over a decade, you've had plenty of time to stop fucking basic things like lightness of performance speed up.
> The laws apply to technology companies with market valuations of at least €75 billion ($80 billion)

Why didn’t the EU apply it to the top XXX companies by market capitalisation?

Or is the intent that the law should cover more companies over time due to monetary inflation?
>Carbon in our souls

I think it might be an allusion to alchemy. Basically, the alchemists believed that ash (what was left after burning something) was the soul of all things...And-- this is where my complete lack of understanding about science shows-- I'm pretty sure Ash has lots of carbon? It's, you know, poetic. Many have claimed that poems are the "language of paradox" so it's okay for it to be a little non-literal. My interpretation of it, though, is that the soul is something impure that you must burn away, or maybe that the soul is polluted by our own words and behavior. It's definitely not meant to be scientifically accurate.

This is an interesting way of writing a quick and dirty script, completely different than I would have written it (I would have definitely have used a lot more subshells, temporary variables, escaped the characters in the commands, "#" in sed instead of "/" and a lot less sed magic).

If anyone is curious as it took me a bit to decipher (and I consider myself quite familiar with shell scripting!):

read X Y

Read the stdin into X and Y. I'm honestly not sure why read Y here as it's unset and re-defined on the next line?

unset Y;Y=${X##*/};

Unset Y, use Parameter expansion to match the regex "/" greedy and delete it from the string, assign it to Y. Also I believe that using "" here is a "bashism" so it would not work on a strict posix shell :)

echo "$X" \

Echo X to be piped as stdin in the next command

|sed 's/^/url=/' \

Use sed to prepend url= to the string

|curl -4sK- \

Connect over ipv4 (-4), don't output (-s, silent) and read the config from stdin (-K-). Apparently curl support reading what to fetch from a config file, I was not aware that curl supported that

|tr -d '\134' \

Delete all backslashed from the input. "\<number>" is the octal ascii code of the character

|sed -n 's/u0026/\&/g;s/.*\"application\/pdf\",\"uri\":\"//;s/\".*//;s/https:/url=&/p' \

Several substitutions, and don't echo the output automatically (-n).
Replace "u0026" with "&" (u0026 is the unicode number of ampersand - not sure why but docdroid use that in their page), all occurrences.
Select the line that matches '.*"application/pdf","uri":"'
Match "https:" and prepend it with "url=", and print it

curl -4o "$Y".pdf -K-

As above, parse the config file to download the output to $Y.pdf (-o) over IPv4
Even if he did write it, how much effort does it take to leave these traces behind? Is there a reliable way to link these traces to other, known materials to verify they came from Vlad? Can it at least determine age? Or could these traces be from any person who handled the letter at any point in history?
The author was actually looking for "stick framing", of which balloon framing is a particular technique. (The term was originally derogatory, coming from the perspective of the timber framers.)

The image comparing balloon and platform techniques should probably have suggested the existence of a broader term.
$600 per ton of CO2. The industry is trying to get to $100 per ton of CO2.

Energy estimated is 1,200 kilowatt-hours per ton of CO2 removed.

Nuclear fission energy averages 0.4 cents/kWh. That's $480 in energy costs alone (ignoring profit margins for removal, etc).

Why would bleeding edge fusion that requires cutting edge lasers, magnets, and various other containment stuff have a cheaper energy generation cost? I could be wrong, but I don't think nuclear waste (which is the primary difference with fusion) is the primary cost contributor. So why would you want to invest in more expensive fusion to remove all this carbon instead of cheaper fission? Nuclear waste by the way isn't waste. It can be reused in breeder reactors and it's used a lot in medicine (I could be wrong but one of the reasons nuclear imaging has gotten more expensive is because radioactive materials are more difficult to obtain due to reduction in global fission energy).

>At the end of the day, if you're this afraid of Facebook, you're free to not use it.

I guess that is the end of our discussion as there is no way to counter this type of logic other than saying that if you didn't agree with Apple's walled garden policy, you were free to not use Apple devices.
Just a nit-pick, but I think you meant USD10 BILLION.
It doesn't Just Work, though. Developers are tired of it, and making things Just Work relied on the unfair exploitation of developers and restrictions of user freedom. If your digital utopia is predicated on software genocide, then it's not poised to last long.

Yes, but one last quibble.

Technically, in the phrase "YC startups are breaking the law", there is no clear implication that it is all YC startups.

The phrase simply does not speak on the point of quantity, and is pretty decent 'headline English', which traditionally does away with 'some', 'the', etc, trading specificity for celerity.

However, with the phrasing 'Some YC startups are breaking the law", there is actually additional information being added. Intentionally or not, dang is injecting into the discourse a self-protective disclaimer.

If you're really curious, one can probably work out a symbolic representation of the truth claim being made in any higher-order logic that can express Vagueness (https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/vagueness/) and demonstrate how the truth functions differ, but frankly I'm not a grad student anymore, and I'm less excited to do free symbolic logic problems ;D
1. I don't think EU lawmakers would be opposed to sensible user flows from Apple that properly disclose the risks and provide disclaimers about the potential dangers of side loading.

2. The current Settings menu in iOS is already a jumbled mess as it is, thanks to years of layers upon layers of options added into it. Even simply getting into developer mode would cause some friction.

3. Even on Android, it's somewhat out of the way:

https://www.lifewire.com/how-to-enable-developer-mode-on-and...

4. I'm talking about the existence of alternate app stores themselves adding friction. Meta forcing users to use their store would be adding an additional wrinkle as it is. Think about the current streaming space. Many many users are already forced to deal with multiple services and managing their accounts just to get into content. And now they're going to be doing it on their iPhones? It's quite likely that a substantial amount would just forego dealing with a Meta app store and just start using the the mobile website - or just abandon Facebook on their phones altogether, which is even worse than Meta.

5. A point I mention in the link but not above: EU lawmakers, who are already suspicious of Meta, will likely scrutinize any third party app stores launched by them or other big tech companies anyway. So it's not as if it would be unpoliced for privacy violations and the like.

If anything, such app stores would be a treasure trove for regulators to inspect.
Hopefully they don't go the way of Notch and spiral out of control
I think you can use a queue of size w.

Something like this... this is psuedo code. You iterate through the string once. You pop an element off of the queue at most once. In this implementation you might add it to the queue twice.

def find_uniq_window(long_string, w):

queue = Queue()
hash_set = Hashset()

for char in long_string:
if queue.size() == w:
old_char = queue.pop()
hash_set.remove(old_char)
queue.push(char)

if char not in hash_set and queue.size() == w:
# success
return queue
if char in hash_set:
#empty the queue and hash set and start over
queue = Queue()
hash_set = HashSet()
queue.push(char)
hash_set.add(char)

# We never found the window of unique characters, so return false
return False
Another long-time linux user here: During the pandemic I finally decided to get a little bit more into gaming and figured I'll try it on linux to see if it'll work and if nothing else, the technical challenge would be fun.

Fortunately I like games after all, because there wasn't any real challenge to getting things working the wine/proton folks have done A LOT to make this stuff just work. I play overwatch and other AAA titles on my linux box just fine.
China readying $143B package for its chip firms in face of U.S. curbs
Here’s the deal, ship one of each: Mac, Mac AppStore, iOS AppStore, SMS chat bot, WebApp, Windows, cross platform with Electron, cp with Tauri, with varying degrees of dynamic libraries, concurrency, mono-server and containerized APIs - then say something productive about each. (On your own, no help but you and and your online friend Eskimo)

The ease of everything in iOS is 100% worth a 30% cut once you’re established (speaking to the small business program) - AND everyone forgets, Apple’s cut 15% after the first year of subscriptions, no matter how much you make.

The reason the Mac “side load” exists is because of AppKit - and the hoops one must jump through to get things to run halfway decent with gatekeeper is maddening to the nth degree. Fine, let people side load and deal with that on their own - but do not act like it’s “a weekend” worth of development time to get right.

Everyone is winging because they won’t (or know they can’t) make something damn good - take the time perfecting the craft and finding the targets no one can see rather than throwing stones.
Have you thought about using a single node Docker Swarm? That gives you benefits such as healthchecks for containers so unhealthy containers are replaced, support for rolling upgrades and some other goodies like secrets and configs managed by swarm.
Yeah, I'm on the fence on that constituting that as an injured party. Healthy choices are just one of those things where it's not straightforward to draw a line without taking rights away from people.
There's a difference between encouraging a kid and discussing energy technology.

It's entirely valid to remark that fusion still is far from viable as a source of energy.
Not out of the box, although you can upload a custom image to a Space, or you can instantiate a machine as any other Linux distribution and then assimilate it with nixos-infect or similar.
Exactly, to the majority of the population, this looks to them like Apple are constantly improving, as opposed to fixing what were defects/gaps. And that's exactly what Apple want, which is how you run a business.
I love that they straight up said the game won't get any big discounts in the near (~2 years) future

>Q: When is the game going on sale?

>Not soon! And not for very much discount! Bay 12 and Kitfox are going to keep working on this for ~30 years, so it doesn’t make sense to follow normal Steam discounting. For example, we might discount 10% in a couple of months, but we also might not! We certainly won’t be discounting for more than 15% for at least two years!

145k TC for Software Engineer. Better than I'd expect from a government job, although a qualified applicant could obviously make so much more elsewhere. And supporting the needs of a bunch of PhD's doesn't really sound fun.
yeah, i kind of wish there was a 'rules for life' guide that talked about this.

to me, it's a paradox -- the time when you most need help, you are least likely to seek it out -- or, it's the most difficult to seek it out, because you are down / depressed / whatever.

then it spirals, etc. etc.

i figure, the best you can do sometimes is break it down into baby steps -- the usual advice for getting big things done.

e.g.

- find out the name of the college counselor folks
- read a bit, call them, get appointment
- go to appointment
- sit down and say "i need help"
- go from there.

so, one of the 'rules for life' rules would say something like:

* recognize when things are going in a bad direction, spiraling, and even if you don't feel completely helpless or depressed or whatever, you _must_ go get help - it's what you owe to the universe or your family or etc. Get help from a parent, friend, other family member, doctor, psychologist / phychiatrist / counselor, teacher, professor, acquaintance, stranger, etc. the idea is to act _before_ things get too out of hand. and, if, after you've talked to someone, everything is fine and you get back on track, if it seems like it was a false alarm, great - get back to living a meaningful life. and if not, at least now you're getting some help. you did the most difficult thing which was to reach out for assistance or help. in a perfect world, someone would always be right next to you to help you and push/pull you in the right direction whenever you needed help, but sometimes you have to help yourself, and you did that, and that's a great thing.

a bit over the top maybe, but eh -- that's what i think the message should be.

and if you're young, you can rest easy in knowing that you can ** up your life like 100 times and eventually you start to realize, oh, it wasn't actually that big of a deal. :-D

by the time you get to 40 or so, you realize how much ** goes wrong in peoples' lives, and a lot of times, people just keep on going.

that's not to deny real hardship, but something like a failed class, semester, degree, etc. -- in the big scheme of things, it starts looking _real_ insignficant.

myself, i half-failed out, worked full time, back to school, finished, etc.

my only problem now is i decided to be a not-so-good entrepreneur -- don't be like me -- be a good entrepreneur, instead. ;-D
No, even regular apps have a multitude of tools they can use to detect a jailbroken state, given that there are paid jailbreak tweaks that hide the jailbroken status from apps. Even then, there are complaints about mobile apps like Pokémon Go, Pokémon Unite, and some bank apps[0] still detecting your jailbreak. Most likely Apple just doesn't see it as a threat/doesn't want to draw attention to the practice.

Strange thing is that photo albums re relatively new. Imgur was the go-to host for Reddit, and then they made their own uploader a looong time later. The "albums" functionality only came out in July of 2020, according to a Google search.

Seems this was less likely a "someone else will deal with it" problem, and more of a development / QA testing problem.
I've been thinking of doing this exact thing, although with a smaller 10x12 single-level shed, just because I want to learn timber framing. Would you do it again? Any specific book recommendations?
Most people dont like too many choices. And sideloading just might destroy the experience for the majority, because many big players could choose to have their own store.

This is cool! Other People's Meaningful Links is great :). I've subscribed to your feed as well.

I actually haven't worried about the RSS icon on my site since I figure people who use a feed reader can just copy and paste the site URL and the reader app will auto-detect the feed, and people who don't use a feed reader can just subscribe with email. Maybe it'd still be helpful to link explicitly to the RSS feed I suppose, perhaps underneath the email subscribe box?
