Thanks for your help correcting a really common misconception about bipolar disorder.

People want to whitewash mental illness because mental illness can be scary and uncomfortable. There’s this concept of destigmatizing mental illness by pretending all sorts of bad behavior are somehow not associated with mental illness. This is often done to make people with minor mental illness feel less stigmatized but ironically can increase the stigma around people with more severe mental illness since now it’s not mental illness, they’re just a terrible terrible person.

Yes, psychosis absolutely can cause people to be antisemitic, racist, violent, etc. This should almost be obvious. But because it opens up difficult conversations about accountability, and because people with minor mental illness want sympathy without stigma, people like to pretend otherwise.
That's acceptable for a desktop OS. It's not pretending it's server OS.
Beej is fantastic resource!
Windows 10 gets very confused when you have monitors with different DPIs and you're switching between them, which is very common for me nowadays. Windows 11 doesn't seem to have any problems.

It also has better HDR support and feels faster to me.
Yes, but keep in mind that we find ourselves here due to the rising concentration of market power in fewer and fewer global mega corporations (e.g., TSMC in chips). Over the past four decades, there have been few checks and balances on the concentration of corporate power, both at the national and global levels.
Many insurances don't cover house repairs if not done by companies specialised on the repair domain....
At a granular level, the earth can't produce enough food for all of us to live by subsistence, without technologies that require a relatively sophisticated society just to function. For example, more than half of the world's animal population is sustained by the Haber process.
Elon Musk is the CEO of a major corporation.

Sociopathy, is often pointed out as an advantage in that situation. You rise above others in the social ladder and punch down your competitors. And we're seeing this behavior right now as Elon Musk is utilizing his powers to try to silence his critics (Mastodon).

Autism on the other hand, is a disadvantage in most leadership roles.

When we consider Elon Musk's role in society (leading corporations), he is far more likely to be a sociopath, rather than autistic. When we look at his behavior (punching down on Mastodon), its closer to sociopathy.

When we consider Musk's behavior in the past few weeks, it has more similarities to Narcissistic collapse than anything else I've heard of.
Of course, the UK threw out the baby and the bathwater with Brexit.

I'd have rendered that slogan as “The more reliant we are on others with whom we have any substantive combination of: a severe trade imbalance, no framework for meaningful dialog, and conflicting major foreign policy goals -- the less resilient we are as a nation”
Arguably, it was streaming that really killed CD sales.
Can confirm, these birds are the least polite Canadians I know.
I think MS is just playing around with different UI concepts and seeing what users will tolerate in 11 before cleaning everything up in Win 12 just before the support ends for 10. At work, we're still on Win 10, with no plan to move to 11, which mirrors my strategy at home.

I also largely avoided Win 8, staying on 7 almost until 10 was released, which was a tolerable 'fix' of 8's experimental features.
I guess this depends on whether you think "transwomen aren't women" is a right-wing or centrist statement. By world standards twitter was far left, by USA standards it was left, by California standards or non-USA anglosphere standards it was centrist.
Can that be extrapolated that any and all AI output cannot be copyrighted?
So in other words, if you're willing to pay enough for enough accounts, or organise groups, you'll be able to heavily suppress your political opponents or competitors tweets.
Parse server logs, if that helps.
You're free to leave the node. That's not censorship, it's the node owner's own free speech rights.
The Emacs frameworks (doom, spacemacs, etc) make it pretty easy to setup. That being said, if your primary concern is ease, vscode would be a better choice. Emacs is more focused on power and extensibility.
I might've agreed with you had Russia not invaded Ukraine. Your assumption is the same assumption we all made, but they invaded Ukraine anyway.
Linux gamer since 2020 here. While obviously not perfect, things are getting better at amazing speed. Between Linux getting better and Windows getting worse at compatibility, your 3-year timeline looks very doable.

Though multiplayer games will remain a pain point for the foreseeable future, due to anti-cheat shenanigans.

(Also, sometimes the compat is there, but figuring out how to enable it is a pain. d3dx* being a good example; for me, it was selectable in winecfg menu, but wasn't installed until I figured out winetricks. Steam and Proton issues are much less obtuse.)
Mastodon, regardless of your server, can see and connect to everyone in the federation. The servers are just for how your name appears, local and moderation rules.

infosec.exchange can talk to and see content in mastodon.social
I've always been happy with KDE. KDE/Wayland still has a few rather unfortunately bugs, so if you go that way it's better to stick with X for now.
On the other hand it sucks when the only burger you can buy comes from McDonalds.

Not that I care, but you could even copy the current twitter usernames to your new twitter, alongside all their public tweets and followers. So, when switching, a user wouldn't even need to add back their data or find back their previous followers.
I make my living as a voice actor. I've done everything from audiobooks, commercials, ADR to corporate.

The best thing you can do is practice, practice, practice, but with good guidance.

The first thing is to love and admit your voice. A lot of people try to sound deeper, more impostured, etc. They try to put on a voice they don't have. And the first thing is to recognise the sound of your voice. Your voice is your voice. You don't have to do anything special with it. Just accept it, understand how it works. It's that easy, it's that hard.

There are plenty of schools that teach voice acting. It is a difficult profession to be self-taught, as it requires an ability to "isolate yourself from yourself", as well as being directed by an outside observer. It is exactly the same as learning to act. You can learn from videos, books, but there is no substitute for physical learning with another person.

Audiobooks are one of the most difficult genres to work in.

They require you to tell the story, but you can't be more of a protagonist than the story. In most of them, I listen more to the narrator than to the story itself, which is a problem, as it is the story that has to transcend.

If you are curious, one of the classics to read are Cicely Berry's books "Voice and the actor" and "Freeing the natural voice" from Kristin Linklater.
Thanks for the tip! If anyone else has found themselves annoyed by an exact internet search result hijacking a partial local result when you start typing and hit enter, the registry path is HKCU:\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer, set DisableSearchBoxSuggestions DWORD to 1.

I also find the ads in Windows unnecessary and redundant, considering I already paid for it. What I wonder is if a certain number of people have become so accustomed to seeing ads everywhere that they feel like a system is somehow less "exciting" or "helpful" when they aren't being bombarded with calls to action. This could explain why ads and other constructs like points, achievements etc seem to be getting shoehorned into interfaces that historically didn't need them.
The concept of property is in itself political, because some have it and some do not.
Yeah, there are some dumb sayings, but I really think that one tops the list.
As far as I'm concerned twitter has always been unusable, but honestly, I'm not sure I'd want to use it anyway when it's this tense.
By chaining Vision Transformer and GPT-3, built a Telegram bot that generates poetry and captions using images sent by users. Give it a try here: https://t.me/caption_muse_bot
That link is not happy reading. I guess it is not surprising that the centrists hate the left back. However saying someone is “truly repulsive” or “literally makes me sick” is not necessarily racist, just because they are from an ethnic minority (note: I don't know the full context).

I have wondered how real the accusations of anti-semitism in the Labour party were. Is it a deliberate conflation of anti-Israel with anti-semitism by political opponents (who I assumed were Conservatives, rather than Labour)?

If we had PR it would probably be better for the Labour party to split into 2 parties. I don't see that happening under FPTP though.
Ok - I want details, youtube video and how to guide :-)
The author of the survey gave a presentation at EmacsConf that does a little more analysis of the results.

> Do you bother with Spectre mitigations since Amazon policy is to deny service to those who would attack you?

I don't go out of my way to mitigate that, no. Have you seen any real attacks with this? They seem very rare and hard to execute, especially if you have someone specific in mind.

> Do you bother requiring authentication on your database since policy is to use a closed VPC?

Yes. Usually you have multiple services running in the same VPC, by using authentication you limit the potential impact if one service is hacked. Adding authentication to a database that previously had none is also very easy.

> Hell, we haven't seen any man in the middle attacks lately, let's just drop SSL because you know your customers are wired and trust the endpoint networks.

MITM attacks are quite common actually. Internally inside AWS (i.e. between instances) the benefit of TLS is maybe questionable, especially since traffic is encrypted between instances automatically (depending on the instance type).

> Encrypting disks is mandatory and there is zero justification otherwise.

I disagree that there is "zero justification otherwise." I've updated the blog post some and I'm interested to hear your thoughts about it. But in short, adding encryption to an unencrypted machine can take a lot of time and effort. Setting it up correctly from the start is usually easy, but it's not always whoever set it up initially did that. There are many things one can do to improve security, and most things will probably be more beneficial than re-encrypting disks.
A very human thing is to say I don’t need to change and then rationalize it in some way. I think that’s what you’re doing here. Talking a pause before escalating with something hurtful could only be helpful, no matter if it’s “Less real” and has nothing to do with being distant at all.
The article apparently assumes that demand won't change. But I see things like this that say demand is moving away from gas: https://nitter.it/pic/orig/enc/bWVkaWEvRmlDQUhSV1hnQWNpWTg2L...
I am happy to defer to an expert in their area of expertise.
I'm not sure I follow - you want a smart, small webserver that takes in a http request and updates an analytic store based on headers?

Sounds like something nginx might handle via lua scripting?

Otherwise, maybe you want:
https://github.com/lammertb/libhttp

Or you might want to look at either of:

https://www.acme.com/software/thttpd/

https://github.com/openbsd/src/tree/master/usr.sbin/httpd

If you really want to build (another) web server in C.

Not entirely clear why want to use C for this, though?
While what you're saying is true - QOI performs badly with some types of images - I want to push back on the notion that the demo images have been "carefully selected" to tell a narrative. TFA alleges the same. This is absolutely not the case!

The benchmark suite[1] I compiled contains many different types of images. The "industry standard" sets like the Kodak and Tecnick Photos, texture packs and icons are complete. No images have been removed from these sets. Some of the other collections (photos and game screenshots from Wikipedia and those from pngimg.com) are a random sample. I did not remove any images just because they compressed badly.

Also, the fact that some images compress badly is a non issue, if the whole set of assets that you need for your game/app combined have an acceptable compression ratio. If that's not the case, by all means, chose another image format.

On average, for a lot of assets types, QOI usually performs quite ok.

Look on Hackaday for "Why do you need to use decoupling caps". I am not seeing any talk of decoupling caps in any of this persons writeups. Maybe they are there and I am just not seeing them. It used to be when designing with LS ttl you needed one per chip to make sure switching noise did not get onto your power supply rails.
Otherwise, a great project for learning.

Did you fuss over the differences between obsidian and one note and google keep or whatever? Or did you just decide one day you need to note things down more and found obsidian and stuck to it?

If there’s any productivity gain to be had here, it’s because you chose to write things down in a system you can search. Maybe the hyperlinking works, maybe it doesn’t. I’ve met a decent number of productive smart people and have seen zero correlation between note taking styles (or even note taking at all) and their outputs.
I am pretty amazed by how good mastodon actually is. It's like Twitter without the noise. The website defaults to chronological order and very few people assault others with crazy radical comments, because there are no rage-promoting attention-grabbing algorithms in place.
What a weird idea.

You can be both, and we are.
It's just the label though, won't change anything functional. It's like asking for an option to remove "What's of your mind?" from Facebook status input box.
It's been quite a while since I disagreed with something this intensely.

I built my own "digital notebook" and use it literally every single day for almost everything I do. When I'm in the middle of a project, I use it to take notes, write down questions, organize my thoughts, and save useful web links. It's hard for me to overstate how critical this to is to my day-to-day life. My notes ARE the thing I need most in order to "just get shit done."

Yes, there are "tool fetishists" in this space, just like you'll find in any career or hobby. They get their enjoyment out of tinkering with these apps and cataloging the hell out of their notes. I'm not one of those which is why my app has practically no curation abilities. But I also think it's in extremely bad taste to shame those who apparently enjoy it.
The more I think about this the worse it gets. Trying to give the benefit of a doubt, but its really incompetency, and they decided to blog about it.

If they didn't account for temperature, they certainly didn't account for moisture, and these boards probably don't have any conformal coating on them. I guess its good for the customer that its a robots as a service, but these things are going to end up failing spectacularly in the field. These things are outside at construction sites, they needs to account for the environmental conditions.

Didn't Windows already used to have a setting for this? I remember I used to set it more to 'balanced' than make the UI faster back when I had a Windows work machine. I guess that was more for process scheduling and not the MMS.
I love George Carlin, but that video isn't related at all to the text you quoted.

Whether I chose to engage with something is independent from whether it's terrible or not.

The point I'm guessing that your trying to make is that I can choose to not visit the site, and therefore it shouldn't be censored in any way (even though I didn't actually call for censorship).

If that's what you're arguing, you have to address 1) whether the site itself amplifies extremist behavior, and 2) if it does, whether random mass killings events is worth having 0 moderation.
Right. I like mastodon's approach to moderation and ownership, it makes sense. But it's wrong to think of it as some sort of 8chan anarchy.
Indeed it was, I missed it. But given the recent developments in AI driven art generation (and other creatives) I think it is getting to be more and more relevant.
> Are we watching musk "get" radicalized? Or has he always been that way?

I would describe it as what happens when existing personality traits are met by a bunch of sycophants. He’s been like this for as long as he’s been on the public stage, got worse as his wealth grew and social feedback for bad choices lessened, but now he has a bunch of alt-right types cheering on his every move so he’s not only getting positive feedback but it’s coordinated in one direction.

It’s like the difference between someone having alcohol problems and someone having alcohol problems when all of their friends are barflies and they just bought a bar.
Say what you want but twitter under Elon got that dystopian Cyberpunk vibe.
> if you don't apply them to your instance they ban you and stop federating with you.

A private party is not listening when they don't want to; And to be clear, you say that this is an intolerable imposition on your free speech?
That is crazy, the amount of space a network adapter took up.
I care about billionaires shutting down a means of transparency over their actions and about his erratic and irrational application of policies on Twitter that suit his mood, and what the consequences of both might be.

It's not just about the aircraft.
I remember using this tutorial to build a web server that handles sockets.

Short source code, excludes edge cases, but useful to understand the gist of web servers.

I can't guarantee that they were never open to the public, but I can say that the waterloo steam tunnels were definitely not designed to be accessible. The tunnel from V1 to main campus is narrow and has a ladder about halfway. Also the steam pipes and many building controls seem to be out in the open and unprotected.

I'm not sure how this photographer got down, but about a decade ago there was a way to sneak in through an access panel.
Whatever the Taiwanese decide themselves.
I've never understood it actually. What does the author mean when using "proves the rule", is it somehow proving it by it being a clear exception with special circumstances (somehow that rarely seems the case) or are they just acknowledging the incorrectness of the rule in a joke-y manner?
But this does not mean that derivative works can't be copyrighted. So as long as there has been human input and it can be proved then it's copyright able.

Also, the courts still have to decide how to deal with the data that went into the AI. We are a long way from figuring out copyright law for AI's.
Although Juche never really was meant to be taken as actual NK policy but just as internal propaganda (why want to leave if we have everything we need and the rest of the world must be worse?). NK has always been dependent on foreign aid from the USSR (when it existed) and China. Originally because these countries supported NK ideology, but now mostly because China fears what would happen if NK collapsed.
Monetizing downvotes is a stroke of inspired genius on Elon's part. To target the most unhappy, permanently-online conflict addicts, and turn them into whales. Twitter has always been an addictive Skinner box for many people; now that addiction can be converted into money pretty directly.

I predict this will become the new norm for social media. Before this, monetization attempts focused on positive endorsements: "promote" a post, "sponsor" a submission, super-upvote with "Reddit Gold". Positive, like the advertising industry they imitated. But these were rooted in outdated ideas of what social media is or how it works. Misery is the most powerful force. If you're a FAANG, you have to monetize on the negative engagement to profit on a grand scale.

edit: If it wasn't clear in my tone, I don't approve of this antisocial trend at all. But I do think it's profitable and I do think it will therefore continue, in this direction.
Read the mongoose source code.
This is almost intentionally obtuse at this point - and you're getting downvoted for good reason.

You don't have a compelling argument here - step back, pause, and consider whether you're having an emotional reaction.

Your argument is basically "Developers should do things I want, for my benefit, with no regards to the success or consequences of those actions".

And that's a pretty fucked up argument.

A much better argument is: Proton makes linux a compelling platform for gaming. There is a decent chunk of market segment that keeps Windows around only for gaming. Allowing those users to move entirely to linux increases the appeal of developing native gnu/linux games, because there is a much larger native market.

This is how interfaces work - they allow you to develop new products that are compatible with the existing userbase. It's why they're incredibly important as stepping stones.

Side note - Proton came out of codeweavers, codeweavers develop a custom version of Wine. Do you happen to know what Wine fucking stands for? hint:

Wine Is Not an Emulator.
If you had a C64, you had to have that book, The Programmer's Reference Guide. It was all in there. Still have mine here somewhere
You could stick the equivalent of a BBC micro in a matchbox and have room for a battery. Whole generations of programmers cut their teeth on platforms like that.
> What should happen is for education institutions to step in and aid some sort of analytical and critical thinking from the young age, to learn the ability to fetch information safely

Fully agreed. My fear is that Ai will be given this task of ‘critical thinking’ and we’ll be back right where we started.

[p.s. hackernewsers is gone.]
You learn more by _doing_ than just by reading books about a subject. Especially an applied one like programming.

Just start building stuff, googling, getting on forums, etc...
You could be me :) I ran an Athlon 700 with BeOS as daily driver. So much goodness, such a glimpse of a future that never was.

IIRC, the leaked dan0 had a fix for this behaviour.

> The current backlash is not against globalization per se, but against: ...

I cannot speak about the UK, but in general this isn't all that people are dissatisfied with about globalization. Very many are angry about the loss of a sense of home. If you examine the situation in purely material terms, you won't observe or measure those feelings. For others, the loss of home extends to a loss of community, which extends to a loss of self.

Educated tech people can be software engineers first and English second, while the lower classes are, in my experience, English first, and their profession second. The loss hits harder for them.

I haven't seen media discuss the identitarian dimension of globalisation. I suppose that has to do with media being populated primarily by one social class. Yet I feel that by ignoring them they have been burying nuclear waste for decades.

I don't mean to tell you whether these emotions are "abhorrent racism" or "valid", I just mean say that they are to me the elephant in the room in any discussion of globalisation.
Approaching an “um” rate of 30 per minute I think? Very hard to keep listening! Hope dude works on it.
