This was one of the things I found very painless with gentoo surprisingly enough. I could easily slap together an ebuild on my local overlay that matched the dependencies of the deb/rpm even if that meant some old as dirt dep that wouldn't be on my machine normally. Then just `emerge sync -r localoverlay && emerge category/package-name` like normal. Maybe 5-10 minutes at most to do and I'd have a fully managed install that'd continue to work even if I tried to install it 5 years from now.

I've tried similar on debian, ubuntu, and centos but fighting with apt or yum and their (seemingly) comparatively brittle packaging systems got very old very quickly. Not that it can't be done easily on those systems but so far I haven't managed it yet.

Nix I find can also be really nice for this, especially since flake based packages are pretty much self contained. Still a lot less pleasant compared to the portage/ebuild route though.
My four step kids have no idea what boredom is. I, however, do, and found most of my creative endeavours and hobbies arose when I was bored. I'm pretty sure if boredom wasn't the alternative, I wouldn't have learned the guitar, or spent many hours daydreaming science fiction fantasies.
I remember how promising early Google was, how great Gmail appeared to be. Now the search is barely usable, your account gets nuked because you logged in a minute later than usual and they still don't have any support. Strangely businesses haven't completely abandoned everything to do with them, they clearly don't care about their paying customers let alone the free tier ones.

> But I hope we don't see any tedious comments here about how this is a moral outrage because all software should be fr£e.

All software should be free-as-in-freedom, but not nescessarily free-as-in-£; though I acknowledge that the former without the latter is often problematic. Plus, even beyond the "moral should", practically speaking, going non-FOSS this means it gets excluded from GNU/Linux distro packages, which IMO would be a fatal hit for something like this.

But honestly, I'm fine with this move. It's still FOSS for FOSS-systems, while support for non-FOSS systems is non-FOSS. The folks who care about free-as-in-freedom won't be affected by this. And even then, the non-FOSS `sold` is source-available, which covers 3 of the 4 freedoms; and IMO that missing freedom is the least important.

> I still suspect they won't succeed. How many businesses are so constrained by link times on Mac that they're willing to pay to reduce them? (And go through the admin effort of paying for something.)

A reasonable amount of software is "free-as-in-£ for personal use, paid for professional use." Lots of orgs are willing to ask individual devs "are there any dev tools you use that we should be paying for" and are willing to pay the $50/mo for IntelliJ, so $10/mo for `sold` seems to me like it stands a chance? Note that `sold` is still free-as-in-£ for use in CI/CD, and is only paid for individual-developer use.
Etsy isn't a garage sale.

When we with my ex started selling handmade stuff there, we had revenue above 20k in the first year knowing almost nothing about anything.

Mind you, handmade isn't IT, margins are thin.

Yes, we had that as an ongoing source of income. Why is this a reason for doxxing us?

Yes, one category I left out is research. Turning a big DAG of citations into a finished monograph, basically. I feel that this is one of the few areas where a TfT with bidirectional links makes sense. But I can't really judge this because I'm not a researcher, and little of what I do can be called research.

As someone who did the digital nomad thing for ~5 years I think this guy will hugely regret this, especially the 12 year obligation element. As someone else said, he's basically signing up to live in a mall where he will never be able to form long term in person relationships.

I was living a much more dynamic lifestyle than this in much nicer living conditions and I was thoroughly burned out after 5 years. I'd imagine he's had his fun with this by the end of 1 year, maybe 3 max.

I ran Netware 3.x and 4.x in the late 90s & early 00s. It was a big professional office, and nothing was public-facing (all we had was an ISDN line anyway).

It was great, honestly. It took me years with Linux to become as comfortable as I was with Netware. The stability of those machines, in fact, allowed me free time to learn Linux in the first place.

> What is so complicated about installing plugs in parking garages?

Nothing is technically complicated about it, but a great many landlords are unwilling to incur even the tiniest expense. Have you never seen an apartment with inadequate insulation? With leaky plumbing? I've seen plenty, even when it was the landlords themselves who ended up bearing a cost greater than simple improvement would have incurred. Sometimes it's a liquidity issue, sometimes it's "boiling frog" syndrome or pure laziness, but no matter the reasons it's reality.

> My apartment in Brooklyn had plugs 3 years ago

How nice for you. Are all of your experiences universal?
There is gentrification in some of the southern Chicago neighborhoods. If you're asking why there isn't much in Englewood or Grand Crossing, it's because Chicago is geographically huge, and decades of redlining tore a giant gash in the west and south sides of the city that will take many, many more decades to heal. There simply isn't enough demand, across the entire city, to make high-end development in Grand Crossing viable. Gentrification is pushing harder against the west than the south side right now, is my impression.

I don't know what all is happening in Sweden, but what happened in Chicago wasn't an organic process; it was deliberately engineered.
I use Expo everyday. Expo is more like a supercharged React Native + SaaS. This is apparently also built with React Native but somehow does not expose RN to user (didn't look into docs too much)?

Looking at the docs, LiveView is referred to as Server Side Rendering so I'm guessing yes

I think there is some real truth stretching here for controversy. National merit is based on the PSAT. Not something you take and learn of in senior year during college apps. You get informed directly by the corp, not via your school. The article waffles over whether it was 2 months or 2 weeks.

My guess is that this is not actually about any significant award, but a little memo celebrating the fact that they got the award from the national merit corp a long time ago and already should have known about.

Trashy new org and trashy news.

Edit: and fwiw, this is a basically worthless award. Actually being a finalist can get you hundreds of thousands of dollars of scholarships. But the tier below that won’t get you almost anything.
I haven't but I will, really useful stuff, thanks
Really sad to hear this. I attended one AEA a few months before the Pandemic and it was amazing - expensive, to be sure, but totally worth it. The one thing it did really well was "breadth"; presenting on both design and technical topics and finding a way for them to fit together.

I was hoping to go to another this year maybe. I think (?) they still do Smashing conf so maybe I'll try that.
War can stop anything. That much is trivial.
Not entirely true. Like, the way you do anything brain intensive has to be limited if you want to engage with children.
We used to love playing board games, now we either play boring ones, or we selfishly play an interesting one and the child doesn't understand anything. Sometimes that's acceptable, other times we feel way too guilty.
Support's right, you'll win the case. If they open a return case, they need to send the item back. Happens all the time to us.

>I’m deeply frustrated that eBay is so heavily tilted toward the buyer

Their answer to this criticism is that siding with the buyer by default creates trust, which encourages more buyers to use the platform and therefore increases sales volume for their seller. I'm honestly inclined to agree. I'd much rather lose 1% of our revenue each year to fraud and unnecessary returns than 50% through buyer hesitation because they're not sure their items will work or even arrive.
>What’s the big deal really to lose things from the past?

Losing pictures of my kids when they were young would be devastating. For some things, it’s a very big deal.
If you're putting it in keepass anyway, you might as well use it (either the original C# one with plugins or KeepassXC) as your authenticator app. Mobile keepass applications support the same.
Is it true that Twitter's Covid Misinformation Policy was that whatever inconsistent with CDC or any public health institution would be considered as misinformation? If so, Twitter was essentially saying that we should not question the government? If so, wouldn't it be dangerous, even to the left? Again, let's look at the history: The soviet said that Lysenco was right, no? China said the yield of rice field could be 100 times higher than normal, no? It was the western
democratic governments who pushed eugenics, no? It was the US government who tried to cover up multiple environmental disasters, no? When Catholic church was in power, The Inquisition was a thing, no? It was Pol Pot who told the country that the weak deserved to die, no?

Since when our government has become so righteous and correct that any challenge to its message is misinformation? Heck, since when the humanity gets closer to truth by trusting a single institution? I thought forbidding people from challenging a single institution is called Indoctrination.

Case in point: why is quoting CDC's own inconsistency a sin? https://twitter.com/davidzweig/status/1607387725065232384?s=...
So do apps silently break or does the OS show a warning that “App Acme 1.0 attempted to use a global keyboard hook do you want to allow it?” at the point where the app makes the specific api call?

Fundamentally I guess it’s just a difference in philosophy in Windows. They basically say that “if it worked under Win32 20 years ago then it also works in Win32 20 years into the future, even if the behavior is an obvious bug”. Microsoft obviously release newer frameworks (UWP/Store/..) which allow for new restrictions, but few seem to want to give up access to the core platform and it’s unlikely to change.

The UAC system introduced a way of adding permissions with compatibility by popping up permission dialogs when required. But it doesn’t seem feasible to do for input hooks for example (I could be wrong here).
I wouldn’t say “will”, but yeah, there is a risk.

You are aware that liquids can be transported over land, not just in pipes, right? Like we already do for gasoline, in case you need a very concrete and relevant example. At least GP provided data, which is too rare around here.
This is fair - they don't fight counterfeits as well as they possibly could (and frankly never have. 15 years ago it was the same thing with counterfeits).

I read that. LiveView is a specific Elixir package and solution. Is LiveView synonymous with server-side rendering, independent of Elixir?
Au contraire! The virtue signalling just shifted, now it's about delivering business value.
Isn't compilation mostly linker constrained in realistic scenarios? I mean first compilation time is quite long, but then it's often linker who is to blame for most of the compile time.
Well, I apologize for what I originally said because it seems you have seriously run the numbers out. On its own that still seems like a massive amount of battery for a single dwelling, but hard to put into context without other numbers (design heating load, electrical load, atrophy over time, oversized for slower wear, etc)

Still, in general it seems like the ultimate design constraint is always low probability events adding up - eg solar generation getting severely cut for a week, due to snow on the panels and cloudy days or hardware failure, coupled with many cold nights in a row. For which a fall back to a more traditional denser energy source (wood or gasoline) that you'd end up using every few years comes in much cheaper than trying to oversize the primary battery storage to handle every long tail event.
That’s not stealing mail
Excuse my ignorance, but what type of animal would eat a crow?
If you want a healthy snack for crows that they adore, my local murders (~100 crows) go absolutely nuts for cashews. We put them at the bottom of our peanut can, because as soon as we get the cashews out they will outright refuse peanuts and forego any sort of social etiquette and sometimes even try to steal from each other, so we only start feeding them cashews when most of the murder is sated.
Out of curiosity: what makes it mandatory to use Zoom? Jitsi runs in the browser (just like Google Meet, btw, which I still like better than Zoom), so it should not be a permission issue.
Disclosing seller details is a great idea, but "disclosing buyer details" would be, too.

If you put an item up for sale on craigslist, you're fairly likely to have someone say "Your price is acceptable. My agent will pick it up tomorrow and give you a cashier's check."

There's a time window of a few days in which the bank seems to have accepted the cashier's check, but then they discover it's fraudulent, and by then you've already given away the item. If you fell for it.
> For example, this cyclist[1] ended up in a crash because he failed to foresee the situation that could have easily been avoided

In general I agree that with some defensive cycling (and driving!) you can prevent a lot of accidents, but I'm not sure if I agree with that example; the car seemed to stop for the cyclist, and then it started moving with about a second for the cyclist to react.

Usually "eye contact" is the best bet, but it's near-impossible judge from that video if that was there or seemed like it was there. It's certainly possible the driver looked to the right in the direction of the cyclist and simply missed him due to situational blindness. Cyclist assumed driver saw him, driver didn't really register the cyclist, with the video as a consequence.

What reasonable expectations are also depends on how common cycling is in the location, how common that sort of cycle path is, stuff like that. I don't even know where that video was filmed. It's always easy to judge these things after the fact from a video sipping coffee from behind your desk, but in real life it's very easy to interpret something wrong, make a mistake, or just not pay attention for 3 seconds.

I take some amount of issue with the phrasing "this cyclist ended up in a crash because he failed to foresee the situation". He ended up in a crash because the driver ran in to him. He could perhaps have prevented the crash by correcting for the driver's mistake – which would clearly have been a better outcome, and is also why these videos are useful so we can all learn from them – but it's still primarily due to the driver's mistake that the crash happened.
I thought this was always intended for a hospital.
