Everyone hating on vscode because it's maintained by Microsoft... Vscode is an amazing IDE with amazing extensions, and the core part of it is FOSS. I use vscodium and connect to the real marketplace, guess what, it works. Does it break some license, sure, but it works.

I'll wait for Microsoft to send me court order, until then, I'll happily use copilot and a bunch of other extensions with vscodium.

Worried about extensions calling home with telemetry?

Block those calls on your dns.

Worried about some extensions that only work in vscode?

Wait for someone to reverse engineer them and pirate them, or wait until someone does a FOSS version of them, or do it yourself. Those last two point is how open source works.

So I think people just found another thing to complain about without any serious arguments. Vscodium is FOSS, telemetry stripped out with alternative FOSS extensions and a possibility to fallback to non open source extensions. It's great because it works and does not completely lock you out.

Sure you have to break Microsoft licenses when you try to install one of their closed source extensions, but as I said above. I'll be patiently waiting for Microsoft to put me in court.

If this is their plan for the extinguish phase, my god does Microsoft have a thing or two coming their way. They made it way too easy for the average dev to just do what they want this time.
There is a big difference between booking business travel through Concur and using hotels.com. You get all of the benefits of booking directly - points, nights count toward status, your credit card is charged directly by Hilton - ie I get 14 points per dollar by paying with my Amex Hilton Aspire.
There are a lot of drivers for fragmentation and opacity online. Venture capital throwing money at start ups to see what sticks, search engine optimization, gut-feeling opinionated blogging to build personal brands (self selecting for unexperienced being loud and misleading a lot of the new arrivals) etc.

The cure for me has been two fold: 1) Focusing on books from reputable publishing houses (curated long form content) - but even that takes filtering. I noticed O'Riley has been putting out a lot of noise lately. 2) Focusing on open-standards, sound engineering. I'd rather focus on understanding hardware, operating systems, networking etc then myriad software as a service offerings full of vendor lock-in dark patterns.
This is pretty cool:

> Before we jump in, I wanted to share some history with you. Back in 2009 when we first built 1PasswordAnywhere, it wasn’t possible to use it with Dropbox. We couldn’t use Dropbox at the time because each file request needed to include a revision number and 1PasswordAnywhere had no way to know which revision numbers to use.

> Roustem and I explained this problem to the Dropbox Founder Arash, and he was kind enough to add a workaround to allow us to load files directly. This was state of the art technology in 2009.
This is not transliteration. It would be "pyotr" then. This is just using a German letter in an English text based on a purely visual similarity to a Russian letter.

This is wrong on so many levels...

If you mean porn (which is censored in DALL-E), SD also can't make it as it's mostly filtered out from the training set. All of it is made by custom finetuned models, which is my point. Same with hands, which SD can struggle with. Styles are not the only thing that you can transfer, but subjects and concepts as well.
I don't think Firefox is in the place where it is today because of technological reasons. It's there because of Google's marketing power (i.e. putting Chrome ads on the front page and Gmail, and bundling it with Android) and bad marketing by Mozilla. If Firefox OS would have succeeded, it would have propped up Firefox along the way.
At some point I was wondering whether some shows add film grain at least partially to make piracy more annoying.
The article links to a few book pages scanned as PDFs and an HTML version of Mutual Aid: A Factor of Evolution. Also worth mentioning is that there is a very large collection of Kropotkin's writing at the Anarchist Library[1], including an epub version of Mutual Aid[2] and his autobiography, Memoirs of a Revolutionist[3], which was also mentioned in the article.

I can see just by the artifacts gif that you've definitely been down the same rabbit hole. Kudos for actually pulling through on also adding some scrambling, I only read about that (and since I don't have any descrambling hardware, I would have had to do that part, too).

I share the sadness about those signals being effectively gone. How fun it would have been to work with real live broadcast ones at their heyday. There still are a few ones, but they're mostly pretty basic now.
If this was interesting, and you're ever in eastern Norway, our oldest city Tønsberg have been building ships the old way for years now.

They started with Saga Oseberg, a copy of the Oseberg ship, ten years ago (here's the launch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0tigGYikk6A) and have continued making others.

You don't see any chainsaws in the building of these though; logs are split with axes, wedges and sledges, and even the nails are crafted on-site the old-fashioned way by blacksmiths.

The worksite is open to the public and it's really worth a visit in the summer.

I'm concerned about an economy where the different strata never interact with each other. It's all too easy to lose compassion for the people who keep the world running for you if you never see them. If you have a delivery driver brave the elements to bring you food, you should have to face them.

However it's nice to do things on your own sometimes. For example I love McDonalds self-checkout because it speaks my language everywhere on the planet, and gives me all the time I need to prepare my order.
My previous employer (the one I have been with the longest, at 3,5 years) categorically rejected paying for conference participation etc. The company would frequently get requests from organizers of conferences, networking events and the like for the company to have a presence. The CEO would then post the speaking opportunities in the company-wide group chat laying down the rule that anyone could attend in the company's name if they wished, but he personally considered it a waste of time and we'd have to do it in our own time.

I think people very seldomly took him up on the offer and if they did, I would guess there was a certain probability that he would read it as a negative signal along the lines of: This person is really going out of their way to do networking, so they're probably working on finding their next gig so they can leave the company.

In one other company I worked at, the company was keen on conference participation, but the way it would work there, if you were the person doing the legwork it would be your boss presenting at the conference. So you couldn't really use it as an opportunity to make a name for yourself. You'd just make a name for your boss.

I've also done extensive freelancing. If you run a low-risk freelancing strategy, clients pretty much expect you to work for them fulltime. It's already a tough sale to get them to give you a day off every quarter to do your own bookkeeping. And the hourly rates aren't high enough to allow you to spend several weeks or months in between freelancing gigs to work on status-building. ...now if you're using your status-building to get the most choice consulting opportunities where you have the bargaining power to do few hours at high rates that's a different story, but that's a different kind of freelancing altogether. (The "high-risk" kind which I'd distinguish from the low-risk kind that my personal experience is limited to).

The problem is related to how hotels (and hospitality in general) are hiring. No one is willing to pay the money any more for staff that is qualified for more than entering data into a computer, or for enough staff to keep waiting lines short.

I travel for work semi frequently and my wife and I started “digital nomadding” six months out of the year flying across the country staying in mostly Hilton brand hotels.

I fly in. Click on the hotel address on the Hilton app that takes me to Apple Maps and get an Uber to the hotel through Maps. On the ride to the hotel, I do the digital check in, request my digital key and walk directly to the room.

I’m going to be talking to people all day the next day.
I'm pretty shocked by this. That someone who was involved in the fraud just as much as SBF can away with this simply by cooperating is appalling. What's the point of villainizing and heroifying the most public figures? Is that justice?
Oscilloscopes also have a dead-time. If you want to judge the power usage accurately you pretty much have to go to dedicated stuff like https://www.joulescope.com/ althought you might get close enough with using some tricks. Or the ye olde analogue way of integrating the current usage via

Like, if you know your device is on 50ms and off 10 seconds you can just record both states power usage and calculate based on ratio, most scopes memory is probably enough for 50ms with enough resolution and idle power usage will most likely be the same over the period.

> Alternatively have a multiplemeter that records min/max, and/or has a rs-232 interface.

Min/max ain't going to do you much, some WIFI-enabled devices can spike to like 500mA for few us so even if it captures it the max doesn't tell you much.

Dated 30 December 2013.

Since many years, a SAT instance that only ranges over the 32-bit nonce field will have 0 solutions with near certainty. To find a solution one also needs to range over coinbase bits such as an extranonce parameter.
That is perfectly acceptable and the way to go.

There are reasons to use a credit card - you get purchase protection, for one. You also can build up credit if you want to buy a house. You need one to rent a car.

But really, while there might be other reasons, the only reason to get a good credit rating is to be able to buy a house. Everything else can be paid for in cash (check, online payment from your checking account, etc)

When you use a credit card, you should treat it exactly like cash. You should have cash in the bank before you purchase anything with a credit card, and then pay the entire credit card balance each and every month.

If someone has a problem with this and just can't do it, then they should not get a credit card at all. Credit cards are very dangerous technology if one can't control it. Just like fire - if you are not careful with it, you can set your house on fire.

as someone who has been on mastodon for quite some time, i highly recommend one of the general servers and then not worrying about it from there. there’s an awful of lot of nonsense panic from people about “oh noes! which instance!”

i just looked and these are a few of general servers that are open right now

mstdn.plus
mas.to
geekdom.social
mstdn.social
mastodon.world
mstdn.party

also, after you join, one of the first things you may want to do is use one of the tools to find people who you followed on twitter. something like movetodon (super easy) or fedifinder (a little more difficult).

good luck! if ya have any questions, lemme know.
if the judge releases him from custody, "Will SBF do more interviews?"

Because he has such a great tendency to shoot himself in the foot in the legal sense, it sounds as if encouraging the judge to grant his release so he can carry on incriminating himself in interviews would be a smart strategy from the prosecutor's POV

Maybe his own lawyer will be arguing against release
It's like...you read my first sentence and didn't read anything after that. Good job, well done.
I used Oracle on VMS at British Gas around 20+ years ago. I couldn't believe they were still using it to be honest. I'd generally used UNIX SUNs etc up to that point for servers. The main thing I remember was that the shell seemed weird coming from bash and cmd and even navigating around files felt weird at first. British Gas had all sorts of things that were very old at that time. I remember looking at a lot of Basic and Fortran programs.

[edit] I don't remember using Oracle itself being massively different, I think it was probably v7.3.
So one solution I've used in the past to get WFC unstuck from local maxima is to keep a counter for each tile location with how many times it has gotten stuck at that location. Whenever it gets stuck it'll reset all the tiles within a radius relative to that counter. First time it gets stuck it'll reset all direct neighbors. Second time it'll reset all direct neighbors and their neighbors etc. For the tilesets I was using it'd hardly ever have to reset the same spot more than twice, which kept things relatively fast. It has the nice property of eventually guaranteeing a solution, though that may involve resetting the entire map many many times if it's a sufficiently gnarly problem.
This sounds like they're taking the source material, removing the film grain artificially (which must degrade the data a lot), then re-adding it. It's interesting that they aren't starting from a grain-free version - at least for new productions that should be available.

Nim has good stack value support too. Heap vs stack is just treated as more an optimization thing. Rust's borrow checker is most useful for heap memory, not stack.

For stack based values Nim's 'var' and 'openArray[T]' are roughly equivalent to simple implicit lifetimes. I don't know the proper parlance vs more complicated lifetime situations like "capturing" a lifetime.

Its not too different to C++ references either. Sounds like D will also check for similar "lifetime" violations soon as well.

The real difference is heap memory. There Rust's lifetimes allow you to give ownership away. Nim's var parameters can't do that, but instead it gives you fast and cheap non-atomic ref counting. Rusts way does encourage slightly faster code on average at the expense of more effort on programmers.

Whether Rust or Nim, allocations are expensive. Though in my experience Nim's allocator is amazing. It can sometimes be faster to use ref's than stack values.

That’s not true if you’re getting the RSU at a discounted stare price. Waiting changes it from income tax to capital gains tax.
Oh, I hadn't even thought of that! Yes, digital cameras would of course not have film grain!

I was making a more stupid point: these days image you are seeing on screen is always synthesized from 0s and 1s. No matter how that stream of data was original produced (ie by scanning actual film stock).
>And then they turn around and blame their financial difficulties on the system, politicians, greedy rich people, immigrants, white people etc. Anybody but themselves. consistently refusing to take responsibility for their own actions.

I didn't write this, but could have. 100% agree with what you are saying. The whole thing about "my school didn't teach it, that's why" just makes me so mad. It's just simply not that difficult.
This is also how errors-as-values work in Rust. Functions that may fail return Result<T, E> - putting an ? at the end of a failable function call returns T on success, otherwise it propagates E. It reduces

result, err := call()
if err != nil {
return err
}

to

let result = call()?;

Completely unobtrusive, but makes failure awareness an obligation.

To solve all this, it's pretty simple, and the U.S. actually used to do it: heavily tax the super rich. Heavy taxation and then appropriate use of those funds for education, R&D funding, infrastructure, etc. is actual trickle-down economics. And mega corporations should be heavily taxed instead of holding the country economically hostage. They jumpstart their companies off of government funding and R&D and then act abused when asked to help give back.

Right now, the middle class is getting slammed with taxes. They make almost all their money through salary and get taxed heavily, while the super rich pay either no tax or a maximum of capital gains, so almost 40% or less than upper middle class in terms of percentage.

Corporations and the super rich have bought out democracy, and what is crazy is that they are supported by the very groups they intrinsically hate and hurt through their policies.

> I have always been very methodical, and when my quota of work is done I break off, even in the middle of a scene.

Slightly OT (but not by much): I have read somewhere that one secret to write more is to stop in the middle of something -- if fiction, in the middle of a scene, if non-fiction, in the middle of a demonstration or exposition for example.

The rationale is that the brain 1/ hates starting new things and 2/ loves finishing. So if you stop in the middle, you will absolutely want to finish the next day, whereas if you finish, you will not want to start a new scene and you may postpone going back to work indefinitely.

Now for the disclaimer, I have tried this but never actually succeeded, and in effect I'm stuck in the finish/hard to start again mode. I'm also afraid I won't remember what I was trying to say, but the main problem is the desire to finish proves too hard to resist. YMMV.
