Go take evening classes and get a business degree or graduate certificate specifically designed for students from a science/engineering background.

Finance and accounting is literally child's play for anyone with a strong math background. The harder part is understanding business models, human psychology, and developing a useful network.

Since completing a tech focused business program, I've done very well financially and found myself sitting on grant panels focused on commercializing academic research. It's astounding how naive hugely successful researchers are when
they try to write business plans. Sometimes my scientific idols submit grants with kindergarten level understanding of business. It's shocking.

The opportunity that exists for a talented technical person with a holistic understanding of the art and practice of business is astounding. They literally throw money at you. More importantly you can leverage your knowledge to actually do what you want with your life.
For single system backups I've switched to using restic and it's been pretty great. I don't trust Borg, a couple years ago I tried doing a recovery using it and ran into some unicode issue in, I believe, a filename, and I couldn't track down exactly what file it was or get any files backed up after that file in the archive. I ended up using another backup I had.

For my multiple backups to a backup host where I'm using rsync, restic really doesn't work (having 100+ systems backed up to the same destination).
I got the picopresso and I've used it daily for about a year now. It is more precise and finicky and you need the right grind, but as youtubers have shown and i agree the quality of the espresso and crema is amazing for something so portable. With hot water and pregrind some fine grounds you can bring say to a few day camping and have espresso like a third wave shop quality. I'm in love with this thing. Toss in a ball jar over ice and oat milk and a splash of syrup and i have a inflationary 7 dollar hipster latte for like 50 cents.
Interestingly no discussion here (yet) about work from home, and the impacts this is having, and will continue to have on reducing traffic. This was always the dream in the 90s, but rather than a gradual shift, we got a sudden jolt (and something of a rebound). I wonder if transport planning will take this kind of change into account, or if it's completely beholden to the auto industry.
I wonder what Musk's plan looks like. ~90% of Twitter's revenue comes from ads, and they are not doing too well since Musk took over. He may have to double down on non Western markets where large companies are still willing to work with him.
Replace "pyramid scheme" with "stock" and the argument still stands and is actually relevant to bitcoin. Can you please explain how bitcoin is a pyramid scheme? You can say Ponzi scheme or scam or just hate it because you haven't gained anything from it personally and wish you did when you first heard about it at $5, but pyramid scheme it is not. Thanks.

If, for example, new agriculture tech like robot weeding, seeding, etc., can improve land productivity by 10%, we could convert 10% of farmland to prairie for buffalo and still grow the same amount of food crops.
The idea we were sold: Rent your spare room, Rent out your whole place while you're away.

The reality: Capital-rich folks buy up properties purely to run AirBNBs.

Almost all of the benefits go to the owners.

Almost all of the downsides go to the neighbours, suburbs and others who are competing to rent/own there.

Answer might be under Demos -> Visualize -> Why not git log --graph?

> git log --graph only shows commits which have branches attached with them. If you prefer to work without branches, then git log --graph won't work for you.

This seems to be about working with commits, including branched trees/graphs, without creating a named branch..?

Why Big Tech Is Collapsing: The Coming Big Tech Crisis
Facebook is still a thriving host of non-technical
communities and classifieds. The features and experience across both of those use cases are constantly being degraded and are user-hostile, but FB is still winning.

Something in the vein of Discord will eventually replace FB groups, I think.

Classified is probably the service best protected by the most of FB’s network effect.

Only for content Paizo makes that's based off of OGL 1.1

The key here is that this is dependent on whether or not WotC can revoke the older licenses.
Part of the issue here is there's a clause in OGL1.0 that suggests it's possible for WotC to come along at a later time and basically change what is considered an "authorized" license.

The language[1] is in #9:

9. Updating the License: Wizards or its designated
Agents may publish updated versions of this License.
You may use any authorized version of this License
to copy, modify and distribute any Open Game
Content originally distributed under any version of
this License.

This reads to me like they can come along at a later time and essentially say "OGL1.0a is no longer authorized" and thus everyone will be forced to move to 1.1 or cease any distribution of content issued under that license.

Whether that's enforceable is really down to what a court says.

Agreed. Expats don't remember the bureaucracy they had to deal with in their own countries, because they did it:

- over the years
- step by step
- with the help of their parents

or simply their parents took care of most things when they were young/born/growing up.

Then they arrive in a new country and realize what it's like to administratively become a functional resident. You probably got your first bank account in your teenage, your national IDs as a newborn, etc. Then you move elsewhere and you need to create all these things from scratch and discover them also.
That's what I was looking for; starts with a popular conception, provides no evidence, then moves on to wish fulfillment.
fyi i got a massive deskpad at Daiso and it was like 3 bucks. I love daiso for 1 off weird trinkets and accessories like cable ties that are good quality sometimes made in japan even and are cheaper then buying a pack for 8-15 bucks of something off of amazon.

You basically already have a Constitution-esque "right to root", as changing the software on hardware you own is not illegal. What we're actually dealing with is technical measures that can effectively prevent us from doing so. There are a few legal hooks that augment the natural landscape (DMCA, contract terms, etc), but remove those and the problem would remain.

So unfortunately, what we're really looking for is some positive government regulations that would make companies have to publish some of their documentation and source code. That's much harder to create and draft, although for a simple first stab I would look at requiring that source code be available to make a work eligible for copyright protection.
I think it needs to be improved. I sometimes hit it when I don't mean to on mobile. Otherwise I use it all the time to hide topics that don't interest me.
Ok, very funny. Two comments:

This might be a dumb question.. but when I read this

"scp always copies full files, there is no "delta mode" to copy only the things that changed, it is slow for many small files, and there is no fast compression."

my thinking was: If you want to send diffs.. why not just use git?

It does compression and chunks and all that. Maybe the defaults perform poorly for binary files? But couldn't you fix that with a custom diff algo? (if it's somehow not appropriate, it'd still be nice to port whatever secret sauce they use here to git..)
Either way, I don't know that I see it an example of ChatGPT "replacing" a search-engine: search engines never really claimed to be able to provide precise answers to detailed technical queries, they just do the best they can to find webpages that might contain information relating to your query. But I suspect it won't be long at all before Google/Bing et al will be able to give you answers to such questions at least as good as ChatGPT where up-to-date/live info isn't involved. At some point they'll stop calling themselves "Search engines" and just be a single entry point for any query you might have, regardless of where the information comes from.

I don't think this issue is so clear. Drugs may pose a danger to the person using them, others in the facility, potentially imperil any others trying to come clean, alongside countless other effects. In trying to solve one problem, you may well create a dozen potentially far more severe ones.

In life many things are not just a choice between a good decision and a bad one. Instead you end up having to choose between a bad decision and a horrible one. And so attacking the bad choice is easy, because it is undeniably clearly bad. But that doesn't mean the alternative is inherently better.

I'm sort of in the same boat, but with the sentence,

> To help this situation, we developed two tools, cdc_rsync

Why not use rsync?

(It does seem they ended up faster than rsync, so perhaps that's "why", but that seems more like a post-hoc justification.)

The "we use variable chunk windows" bit is intriguing, but the example GIF sort of just pre-supposes that the local & remote chunks match up. That could have happened in the rsync case/GIF, but that wasn't the case considered, so it's an oranges/apples comparison. (Or, how is it that the local manages to be clairvoyant enough to choose the same windows?)

There are multiple ports of WebKit (the browser engine of Safari) on Windows [1], but two of them are still more or less maintained:

* AppleWin, Apple's port of WebKit for use in iTunes for Windows. I'm pretty sure it depends on DLLs that reimplements Cocoa APIs on Windows, those DLLs are shipped with iTunes. (edit: one can download the support libraries here [2])

* WinCairo, maintained by Sony and uses Cairo for rendering. Maybe someone can fill me in why is this a thing, since Sony only uses WebKit on the PlayStations.

Is this purely a Lisbon thing, or has it exploded over the last 6 months? I visited Porto last spring and there weren't any crowds nor many foreigners, it was pretty quiet.
I'm not sure about Portugal, but a few years ago my wife was studying in Spain on a study abroad program. She is from another EU country, and we'd visited Spain a few times, so figured it would be easy. Pretty much every step of the way we encountered so much more bureaucracy (I am an immigrant to her country) than we could even imagine. She spoke Spanish, but if she didn't it would have been a million times harder.

For example we wanted to get internet in the apartment we were renting. The local ISP (Orange) said that we needed a Spanish bank account, we said that we had a European account so could make an IBAN transfer, but apparently that wasn't an option. So we went to the bank and they said my wife needed a letter from the police. So we went there, and after showing all her university documents and waiting there for half a day, she got that. By that time the bank was closed, so we went back the next day, and after another few hours she had a bank account. We made a transfer of a few hundred euros from our other European account at home, then once it arrived a few days later, went back to the ISP. They took our details and the first payment, and then we figured everything was fine.

A month later the first bill came and we tried to pay but it was declined, tried to log into online banking and that was blocked too. We went back to the bank (BBVA) and they said our account had been closed due to suspicious activity (the only transaction we made was the initial payment for the internet) and there was nothing they could do. So we went to visit the ISP with the intention of paying in store, but they said it wasn't an option. We explained the situation and said there was nothing they could do, we could only pay with a Spanish bank account. In the end we had to get a friend to make the ISP payment for us, every month while we were living there.

Compare this to where we live now. You simply make payments to an IBAN bank account, so it can come from anywhere in Europe. If you need a local bank account, you can easily do so in any bank (I opened an account before I was officially living there, i.e. without any local ID, just my passport) or use something like Revolut. If you need to get a local phone number, you just go to the supermarket and buy a prepaid SIM for €1 - no ID needed.
Parsing layout – problems with Haskell's syntax (2021)
If you want to do fundimental new discoveries like this, then a lot - there's not a lot of open source code out there - most of what's on github is just students re-hashing methods from > 5 years ago. If you want to push the boundaries the best way is to read papers, practice implementing yourself, and befriend quantum physicists and computational chemists around the world that you can ask when you get stuck.

Chemistry is an enormous field too, you would have to concentrate on a much smaller section, I have been self studying for about 8 years now, (+ I have 20 years software development experience) and I think I'm getting to the point where I have complete understanding of the current SOTA and am pushing at the boundaries -- most of the ideas I am implementing are coming out in papers weeks or months later, so I feel like I'm at the edge.

Self study requires an enormous amount of discipline though, which is partially why universities exist - because most people do not have the discipline to stick at something for 3-8 years, and I am doing it 7 days a week, almost every day of the year - because I just love this stuff, it's not tiring, it's exhilarating!

The damage is already done.

MBAs had no long-term vision, so in each company they infested, they made poor strategic decisions such as moving manufacturing overseas, which then forced other companies to move their manufacturing overseas.

The countries they chose have zero respect for intellectual property. So now what's left are zombie companies milking their cash cows dry as international competitors arise and take their market share.

For the most part this is true but not entirely. Some volunteers have access to servers which isn't based on current employment with the foundation. For example, as a former-employee and current volunteer I retain some access to servers which relates to the work that I do on Phabricator, the bug tracking tool that Wikimedia teams use for collaboration on developing their software. This access is unrelated to MediaWiki itself and I have never been a Wiki admin or otherwise involved Wikipedia editing beyond a few tiny corrections of typos that I undertook on my personal account. It's also possible to apply for access as a volunteer with no history of being employed by the foundation. You would need to be doing some work that justified access, and have your application sponsored by a staff member in order to have said access granted.
I don't know if it is CS to blame, or all the fashion trends that pretend they are showing something that will change the world from a couple of people creating start-ups without having had a solid engineering degree.

One of the reasons I like digital archeology is the way my degree was all about regarding computing evolution subjects, and we had a proper campus library to go along them, e.g. most published Xerox books.

Having used McMaster Carr several times with not a clue as to the correct search terms, I must disagree with your assertion that the site only caters to those who know what they are looking for.

Vague search terms will give you results more reasonable than I would expect. Every product category and refinable search field has a useful description to help you figure out what you want to search for and how to refine your search.

Additionally, broad searches show multiple categories so that you can quickly figure out what categories are even available to start from.

Granted, if you do not know what to search for at first, it will take several iterations and some reading to get there, but the critical part is that you can.

When I have used McMaster Carr, my experience starting from ignorance has been better than all other e-commerce sites I have used, even when I know what I am looking for on those other sites. The only exception is when I have an exact brand and model I want.

If every PCI ID belongs to a Manufacturer (a company -- and they do!), and some companies cards are accepted and other companies cards are rejected, then...

Wouldn't rejecting some manufacturers Wi-Fi cards -- be in conflict with Federal Trade Commission Antitrust regulations?
