Can I use this with smart cards on Linux? And, if so, can someone start wiring it into the various viewers?

That's my one big hold-up from going full Linux: I absolutely must be able to sign documents using a cert held on a smartcard.

My favorite multi-CPU system was the Apple ][ card for the Macintosh LC line, which is essentially an entire computer on an expansion card to allow schools to get newer computers and keep running their older educational software. Still looking for one for my LC II, someday.

Honorable mention to the MacCharlie, which was a PC in a box that stuck on the side of an original Macintosh and allowed running PC software over a serial connection. (I've heard there was a similar Amiga sidecar for the Commodore, but that's outside of my scope of experience.)
Fair enough, but "awhile" here is over 1 year. I guess I didn't consider that my daily use is extreme.
Disclaimer, I'm in the minority of people that's long Meta's vision into VR and own a good amount of Meta stock.

I truly believe that there's like a 95% chance that Meta builds a great product but it hemorrhages money and will ultimately need to be gimped - but I'm really in it for the 5% chance that it is a home run on the financials.

What Zuck is doing represents everything I admire about Silicon Valley (and honestly it's a short list of things) and sure he's a strange personality and questionable past but his vision and persistence into this is something I would hope to see succeed and valued.
Given that 1) the coffee stays on top, away from the heat, 2) you boil water in them, which restricts the maximum temperature, and 3) they have rubber seals: unless you're disassembling them and popping them into the oven frequently, I very much expect the answer is no. Just rancid.

I will caveat this with "I am not a fan of moka pot coffee" though. I think it's usually awful. Better than, like, diner coffee, but still.
On a sidenote: it helped me tremendously to read all the comments of people here, who turned around their life. Thanks everyone for sharing their positive stories and giving a positive outlook on life, helped me a lot to read them.
Huh. I am a relatively recent (11 years) transplant to Virginia and had never heard of Brunswick Stew until I moved here, where lots of people make it (it's "traditional") but I have always found it to be thin, bland, and insipid, so I'll take the minimum amount to be polite at an event but otherwise avoid it.

But of course they're all making it fresh from a recipe. I wonder if the reason I'm finding it bland is that the true traditional version includes a range of flavours from all the previous leftovers? That seems very plausible to me.
They're just emoji, not actual verification (right now).

You can see what custom emoji are available on an instance by visiting https://emojos.in/

Here are hachyderm.io's custom emoji, for example: https://emojos.in/hachyderm.io

You can add these shortcodes (eg. :verified:) to your Mastodon display name or your profile. If you don't see them immediately convert, try F5-ing the page and they should render.
This fits with my experience, growing up I was taught to regularly apply ice to acute sports injuries, however the ice always melted pretty quick and slipped off besides, so I got tired of effort of keeping a fresh bag of ice on the injury, and eventually just stopped.

What I discovered anecdotally is that the swelling was never any worse, and there was no discernible difference in the time a given category of injury (twisted/sprained ankles for the most part) took to heal.

And it makes sense when you think about it, we've evolved for millions of years to deal with acute minor injuries without ice. Look at the billions of people who live without refrigeration today and engage in daily manual labor, are they continually hobbled by minor injuries? No. How ice became such a religious imperative in injury treatment I have no idea. Granted it probably makes sense in cases where the swelling/inflammation is so severe it becomes a secondary injury or just continuously painful, but for the everyday "rolled my ankle while playing house league soccer" injury? Completely unnecessary and ineffective IMO.

The Amiga could do a lot more than the Atari with the gfx chip. The Atari had three modes, 320x200, 640x200 and 640x400 so two horizontal and two vertical resolutions. It also can change frequency between 50 and 60 Hz but that wasn't instant, it took a couple of frames to stabilize. This I think you could use to get borderless screens with even higher resolution but I've forgotten exactly how it worked.

For the highest resolution you needed a better monitor though so I didn't have much experience with that one. The Atari Falcon also had more resolutions with instant switch but my memory is getting quite fuzzy there :-)
Paradais by Fernanda Melchor was the only book I literally could not put down till I finished. It’s a short book, but extremely visual. I read it maybe six months ago and the whole story has played through my head since then.

Writing, one of the most versatile and compounding skills you can learn.

When used for yourself, it's a tool for thinking, organizing information, and understand your inner workings.

When interacting with others, it can be persuasive but kind, eye opening but focused, or walk on any fine line you can imagine. You can teach, educate, warn, debate,... with the tone you like. It's a skill that enables both strategy and empathy.

$17,626
Per pupil funding
(2022-23 School Year)

NYC averages for public schools:
$32,757 per pupil

The only reason there aren't more charter schools is because there is a cap on the number of them.

We should attach the funding to the pupil and their needs, and then let the parents choose the school for them to attend. This is commonly referred to funding students and not systems, or backpack funding.

There will alway be problems with education - challenges with parents, children, faculty, curriculum.

The state can provide funding and provide testing, let the parents choose the school that they want.
Such a delight. And every time I reread it I wonder why the serial story (it was published in 18 parts over a year and a half) hasn't made a comeback given how desperate sites are for eyeballs.
Learning how to multiply and divide large numbers was one of my earliest exposures to numerical algorithms.

I usually use a calculator or Python for large numerical computations, but the algorithmic understanding is something I use every day.

Nature's food is the thing our bodies adapted to for millions of years. It is the gold standard of what is considered food, it is the grading rubric.

when I first started learning about, I was not aware of all the intricacies of food: all the minerals, and vitamins and flavanols, fiber and countless other things that make up "real food". I think people tend to simplify food into just a few small variables (like protein and vitamin C) and think that's all there is to it. And it's nowhere near that simple. No matter how much I dig, there's more and more things to understand about a given food. Asking industry to produce better food than nature is like saying, I want to score higher on this test than the grading rubric. It just doesn't make sense.

I think the future should be making normal natural healthy foods accessible to more people. Why don't we have apple trees, fruit trees and citrus trees in every park and next to every sidewalk? this shouldn't be hard thing to accomplish.
I was not initially impressed with Zeihan. He's a bit of a know-it-all and is very fatalist with his predictions.

That said, I've really come around on him lately. His predictions are broadly accurate, and it's very refreshing to see a version of the world that rises above political noisemaking.

Someone on Hacker News recommended The End of the World is Just the Beginning by Peter Zeihan. The audiobook is just fantastic, read by the author and you can tell how passionate and concerned he is about the subjects he’s talking about. It’s a long book but worth the read.
Is that relevant though? Twitter is stable (enough) now. It's competing against present day Twitter, not the Twitter of years past.
That's why arxiv is a god send, because the source is available there, if the author has uploaded it there.

Science needs a culture of open sharing, the same way physics and math has it.
The tragic thing is, according to the video's narrative, AMC has made some very good shows since TWD - HCF, Lodge 49, and The Terror, which were all critically well-received. Critics even liked the Preacher adaptation. But audiences just don't seem to care about AMC anymore besides Better Call Saul.
If you ask the average person under 50 what network produced a list of hit shows from the last decade, you’d get some correct HBO answers and a whole lot of blank stares.

In the heyday of the Pirate Bay that was where you got shows. Today I’m a Google search away from illicit streams. This is how it should be when the alternative is 500 subscriptions, to put a twist on the famous 500 channels quote describing the attractive future of cable tv.
... Eh, I mean that is probably the appeal to _some_ users (though note that you can do that on Mastodon too, of course). But not all, or, I think, most. Twitter is many things to many people (the one I was always surprised by is that some people have Twitter accounts which they use for making consumer complaints and nothing else)...

I think maybe what you're getting at is the people who are celebrities solely _because_ they are big on Twitter/TikTok/Instagram/whatever. I would agree that the Mastodon model doesn't work particularly well for those. I don't see it as an issue for _normal_ celebrities, tho.

But that just seems like _such_ a niche. The majority of people, I'm reasonably sure, do not use Twitter primarily to follow internet celebrities.
> It's essentially a financial weapon aimed at the West, and adversaries of the West will not let it fail.

An interesting way to phrase it but do you have any sources to back your claim?

I know that Binance is being investigated for money laundering and sanctions violations. But this could just be a consequence of corporate greed and operating in unregulated markets (not some conspiracy against west).
The vast majority of gun wounds in the US are purposeful crimes or suicides

For deaths, there's maybe 300 accidental deaths, 10,000 - 15,000 homicides, and like 60,000 suicides. Non-death injuries scale similarly, with the caveat that like 6,000 ish people per year try to kill themselves with a gun and fail, but still injure themselves.
Sarbanes-Oaxley didn't regulate "earlier" IPOs out of existence. It just made companies provide "mom and pop" traders with proper financials so they could make informed decisions about what they were investing in.

The handful of startups that might have generated a possible upside for retail investors would have been able to IPO early even under SARBOX because their financials would have supported an early IPO (as in a proper IPO, not a SPAC), but retail investors would not have shared in this upside anyway because those IPOs would have been heavily oversubscribed by institutional investors.

The companies in this article would never have generated upsides for mom and pop investors, because they lacked the financials or business models to support any upside. SARBOX saved mom and pop investors hundreds of billions of dollars that would otherwise have just lined the pockets of investment banks and VCs. This is a good thing.
FX has always been a low-key prestige series powerhouse. They made The Shield, after all.

100% stopping kids in voice chat isn't the goal. Stopping kids from accidentality joining voice chat is.

If you don't have the money, then a lien is placed on the property and it will be sold to pay the debt. Or you can take out a mortgage to buy it. In any case you'll be richer than if the house is burned down.

The municipal fire department's insurer told them that they would not cover injuries sustained while fighting fires on uninsured homes, which was the final straw for the fire department.

The FD had tried for years to find a workable solution and failed because the people in the unincorporated part of the county just didn't want to pay for fire services. IIRC, the county had tried three times in the previous decade to pass taxes to either fund the municipal FD or set up their own; three times the residents of the unincorporated part voted against it. The FD had tried retroactively charging owners, and spent more on collections than they'd earn.
6. It is much faster and easier to develop an application's "happy path" while completely ignoring failures. Failure handling is a software maintenance issue. YAGNI.
Absolutely one of my favorite books. The unabridged, modern (early 2000s, I think) retranslation by Robin Buss is the best English version, IMO. It's long, but worth every page.

> Forgetting about everything else besides bare bones terminal output?

No. You could write things that were not "bare bones terminal output" as functions (or libraries) within C, and do anything you needed to do. You could "extend the language by adding library functions" without having to "extend the language by changing the compiler or the shipped-with-the-compiler libraries".

Some of those library extensions could be useful enough to sell as a package, and people did. That's not the same as what you had to do with Pascal.

> I have some 1980's books with lots of extending and dialects like RatC.

Yes, some people also altered the syntax in various ways. But that wasn't necessary with C the way it was with Pascal.
Hmm, isn't the Apple-specific magic only for parity(PF) and aux carry (AF)? aarch64 does have a 'V' flag for signed overflow.
Both are relevant for me.

It's about focusing on the listening, but in some cases many albums are getting better masters on vinyl than any other format. It's technically stupid but it is what it is.

What's so stupid about the audiophile aspect of vinyl is most of the new ones I bought are dirty. You have to clean them right out of the package if you want them to sound good. Something is very sloppy about production right now. CDs are about a million times more robust.

> Just because it's useful to wrap exceptions in 5% of the cases doesn't mean you should wrap the rest 95% just in case. YAGNI.

I'm going to curse here, but ... fucking seriously.

If I get a .net ADO exception coming out of a 3rd party library it's absolutely not going to shock me or throw me for a loop. But do you know what IS a pain in the ass? Using 3 different libraries, all that wrap that same ADO exception in their own custom exception.
Pulumi is great, but winglang is a level of abstraction higher than it or Terraform. I think all 3 projects have benefits for different use-cases

It depends on how much context is needed. Imagine you have a Go library that parses JavaScript. Parsing can return an error, and it's very helpful to know information like the line and column number. So you might have an error like this:

type ParseError struct {
Line int
Col int
Message string
}

The user of your library isn't expected to handle this error explicitly, but when they print the output, they can see exactly where the issue was.

While Hashicorp Vault has a lot of features, I found it to be quite overwhelming... We created Infisical to take a modern approach to secret management by simplifying the whole process of configuring secrets and injecting them into your stack with the least friction possible.

We also invested a lot of effort in the UI/UX in order to make everything more intuitive for developers when compared to Vault or Conjur. Plus, we have a handful of features in store for the future that Vault does not have yet! You should try and let me know what you think
Correct me if I'm wrong, but haven't we already seen a bunch of cryptocurrency companies of various types do exactly that?

(It's possible none of them have been exchanges; I admit I only pay peripheral attention to that sphere.)
My wife called for me because I accidentally drank my mouthwash. I couldn't speak and technically couldn't breath for a minute. And I would have been fine, but the bottle said to call poison control (or something - this was 10 years back) if ingested. So my wife called while I was wheezing. By the time the ambulance arrived I was totally fine... sorry about that too
Your first problem is trivial cuz you can look at a multi-year average.

The second part is more significant in people simply don't have the money to pay.
They will evaluate you and give you a ride home if you are indigent. There are places where it's not uncommon to call 911 for a runny nose or whatever, request ER care, and get the medicab home.
It’s this, as well as (IMO) an atrocious user experience in the AMC+ app. I mean it is truly very bad, both from an interaction perspective as well as performance. It doesn’t even hold a candle to the major players in the streaming app space.

Another thing, they have taken some transparently user-hostile approaches to rolling out content (like splitting Better Call Saul up multiple times) in order to drive signups. The streaming ecosystem is a defragmented mess right now, but AMC have nobody to blame but themselves here.
You can't have animations with PDFs. Anyone using beamer is familiar with this frustration. But animations are incredibly helpful in explaining many works. 3Blue1Brown became so popular in major part due to his use of (fantastic) animations that more easily explain the material than any static image could.
Interesting, because when I upgraded from a Ryzen 3000 series to a Ryzen 7000 series, I experienced significant speedups in various tasks:
- Compiling code
- Running multiple services in docker containers for local development that are a mix of cpu and io bound

Whenever I use an older laptop I have that is on intel i7, 8th gen, these tasks are much much slower. I think it really depends on your workload.
> I have to imagine Google HAS to dedup on the server side

It's been a decade since I helped with GPM storage, but one thing I can say is that Google won't dedup anything without the OK from lawyers on _both_ sides, with all the consequences that ensue. Somebody could turn this and similar launches into a TV show, but it wouldn't be as funny as Silicon Valley. On the contrary...
EVs generally have very stable cornering as they don’t roll much due to the low weight and they have a 50/50 weight distribution. Having said that, they are heavy and so are not nimble in switching directions.
> just recently got my self out of homelessness and addiction

That's huge! Congratulations, you should feel proud of making a positive change like that. Many, many people do not recover and don't make it. Many of them don't _want_ to.

Life is largely dictated by our pesky brain and how we view the world. 46 isn't _that_ old, you still have a ton of life ahead and if you view it from the lens of breaking free from your own personal prison, finally getting the opportunity to experience the fresh air of tranquility, you might just realize the future is indeed bright and not dim.

Good luck friend.
It does seem that it applies to everyone in _some_ way, at least.
I cannot understand what you’ve written here.
Paperless-ngx looks pretty cool! But do you have any recommendations for a scanner that has the required feature?
The entirety of twitter is too large to just lift and shift to mastodon - absolutely correct. There are also slightly different social norms and styles of discovery.

However, communities and professions have already moved and will continue to move.

Things like Black Twitter ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Twitter and https://blacktwitter.io/about ) or Energy Twitter ( https://twitter.com/hashtag/energytwitter and https://mastodon.energy/explore ) are examples of communities that previously existed solely on twitter starting a migration.

This isn't about platforms but rather communities - and these things are "sticky". It's hard to get a community to move off a platform, but once it does move, it makes it hard to keep the remaining people as the pull to the new platform becomes stronger and stronger.
> if web search can render the difference between a competent and incompetent candidate undetectable, the problem is the interview task, not access to web search

;-)

My take is that the problem of distinguishing between competent and incompetent candidates in 20 minutes is hard (if not impossible), and interviewers may not be able to do so reliably.
For some reason "Who We Are and How We Got Here" (David Reich on early human history via DNA) was just a delight, to have so many open questions be slammed shut.

"The Need to be Whole", from Wendell Berry, is deeply thought-provoking in a sort of spiritual-political way, though far too long for how much it has to say, and questionable at times.
Environment variables are not a good way to pass secrets around. For a list of reasons see this 2017 blog post: https://blog.diogomonica.com//2017/03/27/why-you-shouldnt-us...

The TLDR is, first environment variables are visible to every process running as the same user on the system (try 'ps eww') and second they leak very easily in debug logs, etc.
