Private Facebook group, free tier Slack, a Zoom meeting, free Google Drive. I fail to see the difference.

All of these are reputable, popular SaaS applications, widely used to collaborate at work. All of these are equally trustworthy (read: not that much), and give you the same privacy guarantees. Using either in a company setting without a contract in hand is unwise, IMO, but that ship has sailed long ago.

GP is correct. #2 is bad, but not significant. #3 is the bigger violation here.
The megafauna of south america and north america are particularly fascinating - the big predators were all marsupials.

LZ4 (which includes the HC encoder) doesn't have an entropy encoder stage, so it's fairly limited in what compression levels it can achieve.
"Sydney has a few crossings where instead of particular directions being open to pedestrians, the whole crossing goes green for pedestrians and red for cars. This seems more efficient to me, and safer since cars aren't moving at all when you cross - often you have to share the space with cars turning left when you cross. I wish we had more of these."

---

These are called "pedestrian scrambles", and I like them a lot more too. I do know there's a few in the Sydney CBD, but I don't recall them being marked particularly well that they are a scramble.

The ones in Oakland (picture below) are very well demarcated, and a study found them to reduce vehicle-pedestrian conflict though did increase the amount of people crossing parallel to traffic when the signals indicated "don't walk".

The easiest way to keep a habit is by doing something you enjoy. Of course this can be hard in the case of eating healthy, if you would rather just eat shittier but more delicious food. But for exercise, finding an activity that you enjoy makes it so much easier to stick to it. I used to play rec soccer and enjoyed it so much, and ran multiple miles per game without even thinking about it because I was so immersed in the play.

Now I do a lot of rock climbing which is a full body exercise and some hiking to get to locations, with the added benefit of being outside in beautiful nature.

In short, find things you love doing that align with your health goals.
It pretty much is (except for length-zero) starting in Icelake, with FSRM (aka ERMSB II, The Reckoning)
> COBOL and Fortran are not "dead", but they're heavily "deprecated"; I don't think there are too many systems created today in COBOL vs just maintenance and support.

I don't get the sense that they are except in some segments of programming. Do you have any reference that would show that they are deprecated?

And Fortran is much bigger than scipy.
> J is "tool for thought" because there is a relatively - comparing to other languages - short distance between a thought and its implementation in the language.

> My IAM user session times out after an hour. This is annoying, but I’ve learned to live with it. Why does a Canvas “session” not time out apparently ever?

Who knows? I've found that Cloud9 has a timeout value, but if you set the timeout to a value that isn't in the dropdown in the UI (like if you're deploying with CloudFormation or the CLI) then it just never shuts down.

What about nature killing urban sprawl? Now there's a question that's probably more central to issues loss of species with humans taking up residence in areas that were once highly biodiverse and typically near waterways for their waste to drain into.

The answer to can agriculture be more sustainable - certainly, but this quest won't be easy, the market forces would have to totally tipped on their head, and consumers would generally be more out of pocket paying for food ... which is a problem as most consumers are already struggling to pay their way though life, possibly mortgages and bank loans along with other costs of living.

Sadly nearly always once an agricultural industry blossoms, an element of greed and exploitation also arrives, soon the small individual farmers find the new burdens placed on it make it hard to make ends meet unless they are farming every scrap they can. The biggest in the industry due to scale of production may be making tidy profits, but are less inclined to worry about environmental impacts, and if required or for a better marketing position, only do so for what looks good on paper.

A farmer who's not focused on greed, often has what's best for land in mind, biodiversity in the soil is foremost. Often though they have the industry's position on weeds and "best practice" they have to abide by though.

The Appeal to Emotion and cherry picking in much of the article I won't comment on bar the attack on glysphosate. I'm looking forward to the first "competent" brave journalist who compiles, ranks and publishes a list of top 100 herbicides commonly sold and used and rate them according to fact, LD50, what adverse effects the products and it's break down products were recorded to maim or damage soil microorganisms, to what extent etc. Then a list that includes insecticides and fungicides as a comparison.
What is the "crypto crapware" specifically you are referring to in the BlueSky project? There is no blockchain or token associated, though they are using DIDs to sign each post as well as standard asymmetric key encryption with the browsers WebCrypto API. https://github.com/bluesky-social/atproto/blob/main/packages...
Niven also had the idea that cryopreservation failed, but the the frozen brains could be liquified to extract the RNA encoded memories and injected into criminals who had been mind wiped. See World Out of Time, Integral Trees, and Smoke Ring
I very much enjoyed The Bobiverse series, and those parts frightened me a little. I'm a competent programmer, but I think faced with the challenge of writing (for instance) my own VR to maintain a semblance of self would require a lot of self-discipline. I'd probably end up driving a garbage truck as was suggested early in the first book...
As a supabase enthusiast I take this as a direct challenge.
The statement was more of a comment on the acceptance of lobbying (by those accepting the lobby) for critical components of society.
The “farmers” didn’t want to deal with a 0.13% property tax increase.

A place where the people who control the place are so reactionary and regressive that a piddly increase in a tax levy requires a 70% supermajority is a place to move away from. Gross.
How he became a prominent podcaster- that I don't know.

I can tell you why I like him.

It's because he gives so much space to his guests, and these podcasts are solely structured as interviews.

Many other podcasters think highly of themselves and talk too much- like an equal conversation.

That annoys me.

And I like his long-form content.

I find the era of tiktok and short-everything distasteful. There should be long-form content out there.

I just listen to the episodes that I am interested in.

And he asks mundane questions and big questions. Like Carmack was asked what's his setup. Also how AI will change gaming. I like that.

And also, I find that contents that are edited to be made short try to tell a story, and desparately so.

And, I dislike the narrative creating in other interviewers like mainstream press.

Mainstream press wants to decide your conclusion for you.

Whereas in Lex Fridman podcast, the conversation transcends branches, fields, and no conclusion is shoved down your throat, and you are free to draw your own conclusion.

That is why I like him.
I "cured" my Impostor Syndrome by accepting that not only am I an impostor, but so are most/all of my colleagues. If everyone else is faking it 'til they make it, then what's stopping you or me from doing the same? Eventually you'll fill in enough gaps to stop being an impostor... at which point you're free to either settle into your expertise or graduate into an impostor in the next level up. Rinse and repeat.

Closely related to this philosophy is the Peter Principle, and the above-described philosophy basically represents embracing the idea of pushing yourself beyond your own self-assessed competence - the worst case being that you push too high on the corporate ladder, expose yourself as an impostor, and get cast back down a rung or two back to where you're no longer an impostor, and the best case being that you stabilize at a new baseline from which you can Peter Principle your way further up.

Also closely related is the Gervais Principle and its framework of Losers, Clueless, and Sociopaths. Whether you strive to be a Sociopath or not, it's worth understanding that their success and power over the Losers and Clueless does indeed derive from sociopathy, and that you and I exist in a socioeconomic system designed by Sociopaths to favor Sociopaths - and if we can't beat 'em, might as well join 'em (or, at minimum, disguise ourselves as them and learn to counter-exploit the exploiters).

Long story short: all of us are either impostors or marks. Better to be the former than the latter :)
> I try and take the approach of reducing dependencies in favour of platform native APIs where possible when making multi platform code, and this is great for that.

We need more developers like you!
Proton is a compatibility layer (just like WINE), not an emulator, unless you're planning to play on ARM64. It's just like using VKD3D or MoltenGL instead of using a native graphics API, plenty of games do that.

They're letting you play the game you paid for. I can understand being unhappy about the loss of a Linux client, but by all reports the Proton version runs better, so what's the actual problem other than your ideology? Epic is a corporation, not a religion.
This is probably the worst way to implement this.

It's only enabled between certain hours, so it's already creating confusion, but those hours also happen to be the hours people are likely to be drunk, it's likely to be dark so they're more likely to be hit by a car, pedestrians are more likely to not notice the beg button, etc.

If you are gonna have the beg buttons, have them all the time, so it doesn't just end up creating more confusion.
Halt and Catch Fire is great but definitely does not have the same wide appeal as the others. Great show but just a more niche audience.
What code specifically do you write instead of the code in TFA, in order to have the optimizer generate the code in TFA? In general compiling with optimizations enabled has not produced particularly good code in my experience.
If the authorities are too slow to respond they get crucified (extreme case: Uvalde, Texas school shooting earlier this year where the cops sat paralyzed while children were actively being murdered by a gunman).

I don't like the five-oh but going the route you're proposing will make some instances much worse with avoidable loss of life.
For public companies this is mainly a push from wallstreet as they now prefer that business model for many reasons. https://www.zuora.com/guides/three-reasons-wall-street-loves...
As a side note I want to say that a seamless machine-human interface opens the downward arc of evolution where life serves matter. This will begin as a innocent attempt to "help" amazon warehouse workers become more efficient with an interface that lets them control a box pickup machine. Shortly after, after having seen the success of this innovation, the interface will be augmented with a feedback loop: workers will be able to see and hear thru the machines, to be even more efficient. After that, in order to boost efficiency and cut down on slack, the corporate will introduce a new feature - a mild electrical shock - to disincentivize unproductive behavior. After a few more such "improvements", the workers will live in a VR, bedridden, with their "reality" carefully mapped to their box pickup bots. Cogs in a machine won't be just a metaphor. There is no bottom in this descent: some even argue that your consciousness can move to such a machine, quite literally, and get trapped there.
Why can’t it be a flag on some platforms and complex hereafter branching logic on other platforms? Like the division shim on platforms that don’t have a division instruction?
No: https://github.com/Vivraan/godot-lang-support

GDScript is the most tightly integrated into the Godot editor, but there are tonnes of language bindings that work just as well and call into the C++ API just the same. C# is officially supported and they just ported it in Godot 4 to use .NET 6 instead of Mono. I've also used the Typescript/Javascript module from a 3rd party in the past and it surprised me how good the dev experience was. I'd wager that most devs who want to use their preferred language with it are also probably people who don't rely too much on GUI tools and won't miss the few features that gdscript gets from being directly inside the editor.
There is indeed a substantial risk with police, but I think it would set a bad precedent to say that death is an expected outcome of being SWATted. Reckless endangerment would be more appropriate. From a quick glance on Wikipedia it has death as a likely outcome, not an expected one like with attempted murder.
I am sure I am not alone in finding the lexical structure of the "windows subsystem for... " very unfortunate. Windows is the dom0 and the android or linux is the domU instance. Kinda.

It's windows hosted Android. or Android as a subsystem hosted on windows. Android running on Windows. But no, it has to be "for"

But I bet they workshopped it for hours in the marketing department and decided Windows had to come "first"
That reminds me of this illustration from 1907:

Don't worry. It's going to feel like this every time you switch jobs. After a while you start to enjoy the feeling. In six months you'll know the place inside and out. Get to know and like the people you work with - they will help you figure everything out.
Westworld had so much potential and in the end it just all became basically magic pulled out of thin air. Even going to the real world I thought was awesome - it just got TOO out there
This is a problem inherent with walled garden social media. Their garden, their rules. Instead of trying to police behavior we don't like in those walled gardens (which is mostly like trying to walk in quicksand) we should be supporting open protocols and systems that don't require a walled garden at all, like the internet used to be.
Ok, I guess it might ruin their chances to go to rock college where they learn to throw rocks and nerds while whooping and hollering. Perhaps a Fourth Reich will rise up that is Luddite and those capable of engineering software will be rounded up and placed into... oh wait that did kinda happen in Cambodia under Pol Pot.

Fair enough.
I feel that is a valid argument for server-side resources not supporting it, but browsers are already hundreds of MB (if not multiple GB) in size.
It's not a matter of left-wing or right-wing. It's a matter of whether the ruling party is neo-liberal. In the US, both parties are neo-liberal. In Canada, both parties are neo-liberal. There is only a small difference in how neo-liberal these parties are.

Overthinking it?

Your solutions costs $240/year.

There are solutions out there that would probably bring that under $20/year, and be more reliable than your VM that falls over when it's full of logs (at some indeterminate future date).

10x+ savings with greater reliability isn't "overthinking it", it's a greatly improved solution.
Here's my suggestion: if you're an English speaker just say "Latin". Don't use any gendered suffix. It's literally the same word as "Latino" but in English. You don't call Italians "Italianx" or "Italiane" right? You just say "Italian". In context, nobody is going to mix up a conversation about modern Latin people and the ancient world.
I've been asthmatic because of allergies practically all my life. It's normal for me, but since childhood it was always clear to me that having allergies and being asthmatic is an impairment, it's not normal for most people to be hindered by it.

The good news is that after middle age, my immune systems seems to have mellowed, so now I actually can do normal things my condition precluded me from, like eating avocados or shrimps, for example.
It’s funny on HN tonight. We have one thread where a county in rural Tennessee lets houses burn down for want of a $75 free or 0.13% tax increase, because freedom.

And here, because freedom, people are advocating for the freedom to pretend death isn’t approaching, at the cost of millions to society.
I think that's true, but this article does go a little further than that by explaining how the internet and the never-ending stream of content affects culture into quicker and quicker loops. Trends live and die and are reborn in cringe within days now.

I mean the police should obviously also be charged with murder when they murder someone.
> That way, one can hope, it may be possible to separate facts from matters of opinion from outrights falsehoods.

Jan. 6th was a based on a series of falsehoods. Fox News and several Republican politicians claimed it was a antifa "False Flag" operation the night after it happened.

Fox News downplayed much of the Trump scandals in his presidency. So now turnabout is fair play I guess with the coverage of whatever's on Hunter Biden's laptop? The entire narrative is clouded by Giuliani and company apparently tampering with the data that made it to the NY Post.

> .. and quite possibly civil war.

So we need to restore Trump to the presidency, suspend the constitution, or whatever the right wing demands or there will be violence? Why can't it be just as simple Fox News, Alex Jones, OANN, and Newsmax agreeing to no longer manufacture outrage for ratings?
Not especially new terminology though, they used that 'Windows S... for <x>' framing for the original unix subsystem:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Services_for_UNIX

Subsystems are pretty old Windows tech and it's cool to finally see the Android one come back. AFAIK they started with an Android one before ditching it to pivot to WSL. I think there may have been an OS/2 subsystem for a bit at one point as well?
Governments just need to stop wasting public money on them. Take them over, shut them down.
Why is it always boys and men who do swatting?
You’re young. Things will work out. Trust in time.

Also, it sounds like you’re insecure about how much money you’re making. Let me clue you in on something. You’re not making very much money at all. You will realize over time that they’re paying you the bare minimum to keep you around. That number just happens to be higher than what you’re used to. There’s so much money in the world and as a salaried employee you’re never going to get more than a paltry sliver. You should feel the opposite of how you’re currently feeling about money. You deserve more.
Interesting, so it was apparently similar to the Build engine used by Duke Nukem 3D.
Was it written from scratch by someone at LucasArts or was it based on the Build engine?
the only requirement is to support video, and support compression

see: mjpeg
btrfs does compression at the block level, whereas video compression would do it at the stream level.

Files themselves are not compressed on btrfs, it's the blocks that get compressed.
Cable was originally free no?

It doesn't mean a literal SWAT team any more. Many departments have truly gone overkill with their everyday gear and tactics, and many of those that don't still seem SWAT-like. I would argue that the SFPD are usually relatively low key, but they now carry around night sticks which seem pretty bad ass, but are really meant to be an alternative to deadlier force.

The main problem: Many refugees are poorly suited for jobs in Germany’s highly skilled labor market and Germany hasn’t been very good at training them. To change that, Berlin is planning to introduce a points-based immigration system modeled on Australia’s or Canada’s next year.

German "Auslaenderfeindlichkeit" won't help either. I can tell you from experience witnessing it that it takes quite a while/a bit to convince a lot of Germans of someone and if they're unlucky, they will never get the chance to prove that they're qualified, because they get discriminated against simply because of their name or color of their skin is not the right one. German CVs basically require photos and other information that we don't even legally allow in the US/Canada (not that discrimination simply by name isn't happening there either). There are obviously exception where someone "made it". German "Stammtisch" culture will also pick up and amplify any criminal element within migrant or refugee populations and apply it in broad strokes to all of them instead of recognizing that there are obviously criminals among both German natives and migrant populations. That doesn't mean there aren't lots of law abiding ones.

On top of that Germany obviously has the same issues as other countries as well: employers just don't want to hire at the salary levels they'd need to hire at in order to fill certain positions.

At the same time, job seekers face high hurdles in a rigid labor market that protects incumbents, requires lengthy traineeships and rarely recognizes foreign degrees, often forcing even specialists to retrain from scratch.

Which is not really much different in Canada either. Where else than Canada can you find the highest number of taxi/Uber drivers with a law/medical degree?
>...We would regularly eat rancid meat (many BBQ sauces were specifically built to hide/safen up rancid meat)

I think the idea that spices were used to cover the taste of rancid meat is generally considered to be a myth.

>...One myth needs busting here. Contrary to what you may have read, sauces were not invented to cover the smell and taste of spoiled meat. Spoiled meat tends to make people sick or dead, so, although covering it with a sauce might make it more palatable, people who used this strategy probably tried it only once.

An influential source that promoted this idea was a 1939 book by J.C. Drummond. Those as this review of the book shows, Drummond provided little evidence for his assertions and made errors like misinterpreting the meaning of words like “greene”:
