What, the Guy Fawkes mask isn't enough? Do you need the list of US target anonymous attacked too? White supremacists, Bolsonaro, authoritarian agencies and governments? Their support of BLM or the arab springs? Their attacks on corporations like paypal?

Or simply, i was in an Antifa group from 2010-2013. Not in a street occupation group, but in a "search and confirm" group where we observed far right events and took notice of who went there, correlate that with police/military files (or politics). Social media watch too. The scandal about actual Nazis in the French army came from a parallel group from mine (i was in the west, the scandal is from a similar group in the east is think, i don't have that much info).

I was also an anonymous script kiddie between 2007-2010, anonymous pushed me towards local antifa groups. And this is one reason why i went into tech btw.
If I rent hardware, I have no real way of knowing whether remote management is accessible by other people, nor whether it has been secured properly.

At least with hardware I own, I know every part of it has been configured by me and by nobody else.

Of course rented hardware, where the customer has full control of a whole system, is preferable to any sort of "dedicated server", but IPMI / iLO is, quite literally, a hardware back door. Yes, the biggest issue is the remote management.
You can have millions across the fediverse. You don't need to see all those millions on any given instance. Fediblocks are good actually and while some complain about "discoverability", the filter bubble[0] actually disincentivizes the kind of attention-seeking disruption that "engagement driven" platforms like Twitter have ended up optimizing for.

[0]: I'm using the term somewhat sarcastically as the filter is just about whom you follow, not about which views you agree with. If you follow a diverse enough crowd you'll still be exposed to views you may disagree with simply because you follow persons, not topics.

Losing money in 2021 for a tech company in Twitter’s position is dire. That was the most intense boom year the industry has experienced since at least the 90s, maybe ever. Meta had all time high gross revenue and net income, both about 35% higher than in 2020. They haven’t lost money and are still reducing headcount by 12%. Twitter’s layoffs were bound to be much greater.

I am not a fan of Elon Musk, for what it’s worth, and I’m sorry that you felt the need to make this some kind of tribal battle instead of a productive discussion. Twitter’s financial issues were well known before Musk became involved, and it is widely agreed that he greatly overpaid for the company. Nothing he has done with the company should impress anyone at this point. The point stands that the company was going to be experiencing major pain even without him.

Appears, but is not. Some tweets are missing from it. So it is chronological with holes, at least mine.

Google owns Play Store. Microsoft owns Microsoft/Xbox store. It's pretty obvious why they don't want to advertise sites where their content can be downloaded for free.

I stated in my first post that the proper abstraction is an extension to SQL. It is ok to extend a language to cover missing features or correct mistakes.

Typescript and sass are extensions, that's why they are good. ORMs are not extensions.

Before the advent of advanced natural language processing like chatGPT, SQL was literally one of the highest level of language abstractions we can arrive at. It's declarative and English like.

Thus, given that SQL is generally at the highest level... any abstraction you would've built on top SQL would inevitably and in general not be higher. These abstractions are movements in progress that are horizontal in nature and therefore relatively pointless.

The point of most abstractions is to provide a higher level interface. An orm does not do this. Instead an orm is a shift in philosophy that declares the SQL philosophy to be incorrect.

I don't completely disagree with that philosophy. But the proper way to implement your philosophy is to write a database; not a transpiler that transpiles your philosophy onto a technology with a different philosophy.

I hope we end up with rich, cross-platform dataframe capabilities via Arrow, but even then you need a whole ecosystem of tools to work with and visualise data. Perhaps Julia takes over but we’re some way off truly polyglot data science.
Almost like you need a CLI as the OS that simply launches the visual UI program for specific tasks.

A pretty desktop background and a prompt would go a long way.

I'm now picturing something like ChatGPT (or a specifically trained model) integrated into the shell, so a user can simply type / vocalise what they are trying to do, without knowing specific app details, rather than having to navigate a bloated UI.

Clearly, she was asking for it.
That's the case when the readback is incorrect or missing, i.e. the pilot heard something that wasn't said. In this case, the instruction was communicated correctly on both ends. But it wasn't followed correctly.
It depends on what parts we're looking at I guess, but I think flat looks good these days, I don't mind the rounded corners, I like the use of the palette in Win11 compared to Win10 (And definitely compared to Win98/2000 etc. which used too much contrast).

A lot of this is simply because the newer designs are based on large screens while Win98/2000 was hampered by the requirement to being readable at 800x600 and 256 colors.
Using gradients, negative space and was a luxury not afforded in 2000 but it does help.
Why do they need both

> uint64_t SIZEOFUINT64 = 8; // in bytes

and

> SIZEOFUINT64 = (uint64_t) ((uint64_t*) SELFIE_URL + 1) - (uint64_t) SELFIE_URL;

in init_library() ?
I remember using some kind of resource explorer, looking into the scripts powering the AIs. If I remember correctly, it didn't get "smarter" at higher levels, it just cheated and gave itself more resources every minute, lol.
Only for reasonably small stacks. Insertions at random indices won't stay O(1) when you're dealing with 100k pages and more – i.e., when you can't pick them up in one movement.
By default, Win98 used the same gray as Win95 (#C0C0C0). If I remember correctly, it was Win2K that made it warmer, and it was definitely an improvement.
Mine is missing tweets. It is more of "what twitter algorithm thinks is interesting from the people I follow in roughly chronological order". The latest used to show everything people you follow tweeted.
And you wonder why the Mac really started to make inroads at about this time.
The right analogy is cryptography. You don't need to understand the math behind cryptography to calculate a hash, or encrypt something. You just need to understand at a very high level what is asymmetric encryption, IV, etc.
> I say you're trolling because even if it were entirely a corporate Red Hat project, Red Hat still wouldn't owe anyone any features. They would still be the "volunteers" in that case. Insisting anyone meet some threshold of features for a random free product they give away is leaning heavily into toxic entitlement.

Negative feedback when removing existing features is not "trolling", nor "toxic entitlement".

In fact, it's expected, when you remove a much used, much loved feature, that you're going to get criticism for doing so, even more so when there is strong indication that there will be no replacement for that feature now or in the future.

Gnome has been steadily dropping features and then attacking anyone who complains (much like you are doing so).

Mostly the gnome supporters imply that the complainers are just plain stupid (don't know any better, are ignorant, have poor habits, etc): from https://www.osnews.com/story/7344/opinion-why-users-blame-th...

TBH, if I had time, I could compile a substantial list of similar insults from the Gnome devs themselves, when closing issues as "wontfix".
For me, one of the main reasons that Linux replaced proprietary Unix in a lot of places is, ease of learning.

It's simple and cheap to get started with Linux and as a result there are lots of people who know about it, so it's very easy to hire people with Linux skills.

In comparison, getting started with Solaris/HPUX/AIX can be expensive, you might need a physical workstation, getting patches without paying might be tricky etc.

Mainframes have the same problem. I tried to learn more about mainframe security back in the early 2000's and it was really difficult to get any access to a mainframe to practice/look at things, despite working for a large bank which had multiple mainframes.
This automates what has been the norm in journalism for decades.

Eventually many journalists will be out of a job, since most forms of non-investigative journalism can be done by AI.

What needs figuring out is how to properly reward those who put work into the original story.
I don't think that you need to know any of the underlying maths to make a neural network in TF/Keras. You need to know (not understand!) the building blocks, and what are they good for, but learning these feels like learning the difference between lists and dicts. You can do programming without it, but it will be ugly.

It's enough to just take one random element and use it as a pivot.
As a user I wouldn’t have liked one big app for everything. It’s an interesting idea to combine the two worlds, but I’m happy to use dedicated apps that can focus on each network’s unique features. Should also be easier to build and maintain that way.

And it doesn’t seem like there’s a lot of hope for the future of 3rd-party Twitter apps anyway.
To be fair, my impression is that KDE has more bugs, which is what you'd expect in the "features are a burden" model. I'm not conceived that that's the reason (because other environments are even more configurable without that reputation), but it's a plausibly consistent claim.
Looks nice and I appreciate the README - those comparison tables are much more elaborate than my sibling comment, though looking at the single con in the table for potygen itself does make me wonder if they might be a little biased ;-)
From my experience an XLD rip can be equal to an EAC rip in terms of rating on the site (RED and OPS). I've always been ripping this way and always had a perfect score; It's not easy though. There is a lot of nuances that influence the score, so you need to do a lot of reading and checking.
> Feels like windows has regressed since Windows 7.

Ah, but fortunately Microsoft has realized this so there’s a way to access the control panel from the previous version. Every time you click “advanced” you get transported 1 window releases back in time, like a Russian doll. When in doubt, open minesweeper.
That's precisely why I started to use and pay for Kagi - it fetches search results from Google and Bing, but allows to prioritize, deprioritize, pin or block specific domains in your search results.

I'm still surprised no one else seems to be offering this feature.
Just like Musk himself, they did not wanted general freedom. They wanted to stick it to the libs, to suppress their enemies and to restore hardcore right wing accounts. Musk delivered on all counts.
The internet as a source of home remedies wrought gross misinformation like ivermectin, chloroquine, and a host of other bad advice that got people killed.

There's a reason lots of medical professionals dissuade people from relying on the internet for medical advice, and it's not some vast corporate conspiracy.
Let n be a non-negative integer.

A number n is bit reversed if it is written was written in binary (base 2) and then the bits were written in reverse order.

Last time I looked at Shell sort, when sorting n records on keys in bit reversed order, the iterations of Shell sort did nothing until the last iteration at which time Shell sort was just bubble sort or some such and, whatever, ran in time O(n^2) where the O() is some obscure but now common notation. The article claims something smaller than O(n^2). Okay, but to get something smaller, have to tweak what used to be a standard version of Shell sort.

For another point, the article wants a stable sort -- if two records (the data being sorted) A and B have equal keys and before the sort record A is before record B, then after the sort record A will still be before record B. But, if want a stable sort, then for one approach, before the sort, number the records and use these numbers as part of the keys. Right this extra step runs in time O(n) and uses extra temporary, working storage proportional to n. For current computing, is this extra storage a meaningful issue?
I feel the covid fearmongering by governments, medical companies, medical authorities, and the media has made public discourse in general (let alone specifically medical) even more prohibitive.

Today, we aren't supposed to question or otherwise so much as discuss something if it goes against or strays from any established narratives. At one point, so much as uttering the word "corona" could get you silenced by the powers-that-be regardless of the context.

This is all ridiculous because the foundation of science (protip: medicine is a science) is to always remain skeptical and engage in rich discourse. Blind trust in science is no different from worshipping a religion or cult.

We are the Galileo against the Church's Geocentric Model, but far more precarious and farther gone.
Standalone devices like HiBy R2 / Shanling M0 / Fiio M5 make a lot of sense, because they allow to bridge almost anything to almost anything else audio-wise. airplay/usb/bluetooth/dlna in — airplay/usb/bluetooth/dlna out. Too bad they are marketed as a "hifi media player"
>Not official, but why does it matter?

Given that it hasn't posted since 2021, I'd say that it matters.

There's obviously the issue of trust when it comes to unofficial sources masquerading as official.
I’ve sort of adopted the mindset that money comes and goes and we should spend it on things if we reckon we will get enough value out of it. Now, I’m having a daughter soon and feel a bit immature about it all despite earning a decent salary, but I can’t help not wanting to feel like a slave to money especially knowing how many people with far less get by just fine.

> You will never switch databases

So this is an interesting one. We didn’t switch databases, but deployed the same application in some different infrastructure due to how different companies in our “group” have different setup. So we went from having an API running in Azure connecting to a DB running in MS SQL Server, and had to also deploy that (with some UI changes) to Google Cloud with postgres DB.

It went surprisingly well, but there were a few fiddly bits and I was quite glad I didn’t have to worry about the DB interaction, EF Core handled it for us
The E/Jugaad Manifesto
The ROS 2 Hardware Acceleration Working Group (HAWG) launched new projects in 2022 including RobotPerf, the Robotics MCU or the Robotics Processing Unit and achieved a 3.7x growth in outreach over 2021, engaging with more than 1M roboticists within the robotics WG activities during the last year.
I need a standalone music player so that an old person with severe arthritis and poor vision can listen to music and audiobooks.

These devices are not it.
They don't really exist.

Ideally, this should all be integrated at the compiler level. Programming languages and their associated standard libraries should expose differentiation as a first-class abstraction, along with everything else.

The problem is that the whole space is really immature, and huge strides are being made... but by many disparate groups, all working in different spaces and languages.

Just in the last few months I read about several Python ML frameworks, a Julia differential compute capability, and that Haskell has a library where even the type system can express differentiation of general algebraic data types!

The whole ecosystem needs to... congeal a little bit.

This whole space reminds me of Object Oriented programming before C++ and Java.
This is the top (but not only) reason keeping your baby/toddler in your lap instead of in their own seat, buckled into a carseat, is a terrible way to fly. Lap infants are far more likely to be injured in-flight than other children: https://journals.lww.com/pec-online/fulltext/2019/10000/in_f...

The carriers don't make this easy: they have conflicting rules on carseats for in-cabin use, especially if you're flying between the US and Europe, both of which have stringent carseat regulations, but absolutely no models that are approved for use in both. In practice, United allowed the EU carseat (used, bought specifically for the trip) and Lufthansa allowed a US carseat (more compact, bought for car use in the US), but both of their sites stated that they only allowed carseated approved by the airlines' local authorities: NHTSA (United) or TÜV (Lufthansa).
> these videos are dumb, doesn't everyone do those things?

Have any person go through the adult/inattentive-type ADHD symptoms [1]. Everyone will see themselves nodding. It's difficult for people to understand the difference if they are not affected. There's a difference between common headaches and migraine, or between bad mood and depression. It's about the intensity and the frequency (broadly speaking). This doesn't mean that everyone who procrastinates has ADHD. It's really hard to explain the state of complete mental unability to perform a task that I don't like to do vs. "being lazy". When I first described my symptoms to my wife, she was also like "everyone has those symptoms from time to time". Only after reading a chapter from a book about adult ADHD she understood the difference. Unfortunately, the book is in German. What I can recommend is Dr Russel's ADHD presentation [2] and Roman Kogan's ADHD Wiki [3].

> What intervention(s) have you found the most helpful?

Well before learning about ADHD, I have developed many coping mechanisms. The use of todo lists, calendars and alarm clocks has probably made the biggest difference. As you have mentioned the "chase for novelty", I can only imagine how big your bookmark list has become. I've coped with this one by having a single "inbox" bookmark folder and clearing it frequently. Anything I want to keep for a longer time ends up in one of my tools (Static Marks [4] - a tool I've made for long-term bookmarks, OneNote for notes, my blog drafts for research material, Todoist for todos etc.).

However, no coping mechanisms will solve the constant inner restlessness. I've made several excuses for not getting myself an official diagnosis, but I want to do that soon™.

I understand what you mean, and I think we are unfortunately not there yet. Right now you still mostly need to understand the details to make something work. In many areas, it's not even just a leaky abstraction [1] where it works 90% of the time, but more like a series of magic incantations and tricks you need in a specific order to make it work. But as far as I can tell its getting better and more robust in general.

Yes I agree. I love a good deep-fried chicken and chips as much as anyone. But it should be an occasional treat rather than the cheapest / easiest option to get. Eating healthy is expensive, so its not surprising that most people dont.

Tax could help a lot but so could choice architecture, putting fatty / sugary foods out of reach and healthy alternatives at eye level could help alot
It is a nice device, but I would be missing noise-cancelling when using the Sansa Clip+.

Noise-cancelling is a must-have for me. It significantly increases quality of life to have it with you, wherever you go.

And I like the high-quality look and haptic feeling of the NWZ-E585. It looks like a classy audio device. And it feels really good in your hand.
Common mistake. He doesn't mean "free speech" when he says "free speech" and neither do those defending him. There are like three people who genuinely believe in free speech above all else, everyone else is fine with a subset of speech being censored.

Note that e.g. reinstating far-right accounts banned for hate speech is "free speech" but banning leftist or progressive accounts doesn't contradict that. Only one side of the political divide loves to portray itself as "centrist" to hide its actual beliefs and values.
Disclaimer: AB + BC may be longer than AC

It's the opposite ! The triangle inequality doesn't always hold when it comes to learning (unless you meant longer = you learn more, here I meant longer = you spend more time / efforts on it)

This begs the question, when we learn new knowledge “efficiently” and “quickly”. How much knowledge did we really acquire?

Good question. Sometimes a real breakthrough can also happen without working really hard, it's just not very common. And some of the knowledge you got can be useful quite quickly in your daily life or profession, so there are definitely /some/ benefits in learning efficiently.

Ee'll always need to simplify some past discoveries / knowledge and focus our time / energy on more complex problems. Our children will get access to much more knowledge than us anyway, it's all about explicitly deciding where our efforts should be focused on. Some people might loose, some might win. I think it's related to your last link https://perell.com/note/the-paradox-of-abundance/ in abundance, the ultra smart will rise, the median people will fall behind.

For now, I would like to produce more high quality learning material. But if I had to mentor someone to learn stuff, I wouldn't always recommend to constantly look for a ready-made answer online for example.
