If we want to keep cash, we need to use cash, and dumb phones, slightly less convenient, otherwise we are running into a world where everything is app-tracked to the penny/cent/micro-payment. Mandatory mobile 'smart=spy' phone next to receive such pounds? Wait until there are 'food only pounds' 'heating only pounds' 'nhs pounds' 'pension pounds - geo-fenced?'. The G is being erased from GBP.
Yes, but what does that have to do with my comment? The ease with which an employer can fire someone doesn't have much to do with why the software industry in the US took off versus other countries.
I'm running an up to date Manjaro system, and although I have kernel 6.1.9-1 available as an option, it's not installed and it's not listed as LTS nor is it "recommended".

Does this mean that'll change soon with an update, and I should start running this kernel?
They could do DPI, allow traffic for unknown domains, intercept everything else. Differentiating random domain from "what user might actually type by accident" is also pretty trivial
the broader point here is with digital money things that would require discretion become automated

which is the dystopia people fear

think about it, the vast majority of people break speeding laws. we are okay and on good days trust the cops to stop reckless drivers but let the morning commuters go.

Congratulations, Maryland, on soon achieving the lowest reported levels of sleep apnea across the nation.
When Simon Cowell on Britain’s Got Talent used to ask “peers, what do you think?” I thought he was asking his fellow judges. But no! He was asking Piers Morgan!
To anyone suing over Stable Diffusion, or GitHub Copilot, or ChatGPT: Name one instance where US Courts shut down a new, growing technology field (not one particular company, a growing field or industry) to protect copyright interests.

You can find plenty of cases where US Courts refused to do that, even if the copyright status quo was challenged. Sony vs Universal over VHS time-shifting. Lawsuits about ISPs permitting people to access copyrighted material illegally. Lawsuits about CD ripping. Lawsuits before DMCA 512 was a thing. All resulted in the copyright industry generally losing.

Here we are in 2022: ISPs aren't accomplices in copyright infringement for what you do online. CD ripping is legal for private use even if RIAA is still irritated about it. YouTube hasn't been smashed with claims of contributory infringement every time someone uploads one infringing video. Photoshop isn't considered responsible for abuses. And so forth...
Yes, the whole app will be Linux Mobile ready soonish, but priority was to have the main screen first and get everything ready in-time for Debian stable inclusion
I agree that sources should be given. But this is the name of a famous journalist, so instead of flagging the article, perhaps the Substack people could weigh in:

a) Is this the real Seymour Hersh?

b) If so, perhaps people should ask him for sources.
Agree. Ideally then you would need a notion of "focus" — which piece is selected (bonus if there is a key to toggle between which piece has focus).
Unity and application development are not a fun combination. Their UI system is notably terrible in both performance (not only the redraw-every-fraction-of-a-second paradigm, but just the plain ol' software architecture and layouting, or even simple things like culling offscreen elements) and features (Event bubbling/propagation? Naaah who needs that? It's not like you're putting a button inside another button! Or a button on a slippy map... Oh wait).

And while the prospect of cross-platform is appealing, it has 0 accessibility support and no way of embedding or being embedded into native widgets.

It's just a little bit better than passable for game UIs (non-interactive HUDs and one-screenful-at-a-time interactive menus), but once you start needing to implement things like drag&drop, virtualized scrolling, or non-trivial layouts, it get exponentially harder when compared to a "proper" application UI library.

Believe me I use it for a living :)
Interesting to see this story here, I didn't know enough of that info was public to even end up here. (You have to be someone I know/know of, right?)

Basically true, though:

- Aryan wasn't the first clientmod, not even the first to deob - probably the first to go fairly 'mainstream' and end up being well known outside the circle of people using it, though (being free probably helped here)

- No legal action, tbh. Well, the same amount of legal action that all of the cheating scene got (some C&D's, domain takedown attempt type stuff at various times, but not the scary kind of legal action in the way other bots got)

- The banwave backdoor did happen, and basically as you say (iirc it was the actual UID but negative, rather than -1) but was more of a conscious decision, there wasn't an 'agreement' beforehand - it was proactively taken. Jagex were informed about it in order to detect it though, as far as I'm aware.
Sorry I don't have a recommendation but this seems hard, symbols in math can mean different things depending on the context (the field you are looking in) and at least while I was in undergrad they seemed to change between professors all the time while meaning the same thing.

Hopefully I am wrong and there is a way to learn with a game as with Seterra.
Is this some kind of Russian media operation? Few hours old substack account with no proof that it is even written by Seymour Hersh, tweeted by both Snowden and Matt Taibbi.
Yandex's image search is probably the best online. Yandex's image translate is awesome too. Outside of that I don't use them for actual search.

> government gold buying on an absolute tear

China and Russia buying non-dollar reserve assets has nothing to do with “people…using government money.”
> I don't mind challenging work, but I like an environment that feels sane and logical and where I am not facing loads of incidental complexity along the way.

> I'm not a fan of the complexity...

My recommendation that helps me having joy: Just do something other than writing code for that particular app. Write a decent (build scripts)|(CI/CD pipeline) that will abstract away that complexity and will reduce cognitive load of building/testing/deploying an app. That's a good feeling.
Which accounts and subreddits are your favorite, them? :-)
I'd say that the bit where typesense can only work with data that fits in ram is actually a pretty big problem for a lot of use cases, as an aside. That feature alone would discount typesense for basically all of my personal projects. Might be a trade off I'd be willing to make on a professional project given the other features but it seems really wasteful.

Personally I find the meilisearch comparison to be more useful for the type of stuff I'm doing: https://docs.meilisearch.com/learn/what_is_meilisearch/compa...

Of course I'm not a large enterprise e-commerce site. I'm doing personal projects like web archiving, (dataset probably won't be anywhere near fitting in ram) or I'm using search engines on embedded devices (search needs to play well with others, not use all my ram).
C++ is absolutely the native platform language on Windows.
No, I never would have imagined. /s

Point is, many don't do it. And they don't tell anyone. And they deploy important software. And then we get unpleasantly surprised years (or decades) later.

Same argument as with C++: proponents say that the modern C++ is almost like Rust which is cool and I am happy for them, but there are literal hundreds of millions of C++ coding lines out there that will never get upgraded. Having a cop-out like "yeah but the modern version is better" doesn't help legacy code.

Rust on the other hand is super strict for a long time now. They did the right thing.
My one big complaint is battery life. 2hrs for most games. Its a great at home device... but on the go and car trips are a hassle. There are battery extenders but they make an already chonky handheld into a 15lb brick.
Maybe they just laid off everyone who knows how to run an event?
Why are people always pretending there is no difference between being tracked by Facebook, and by your government?

Facebook’s goal is mostly to make money. Facebook will not put you in jail, or fine you.

As bad as you think these companies are, they never committed war, crimes or genocides.

There is a massive difference between being tracked by states (who have a monopoly on violence and terrible track records) and advertising firms.
Good rules. In this age, apps like Grammarly, Wordtune or ChatGPT already use these rules to refine your writing.

It's definitely helpful to practice these rules, unless you don't have access to these tools.
Please keep comments like this on Reddit.
The state. In the case of UA that was Zelensky. In Turkey it's Erdogan.

HNer often seem to have this weird idea that companies can take governments head-on.
Cool, I hope they keep it "safe for play store review". I have had to run my own server in order to get the client[1] I wrote to pass play store reviews.

Just because the government can easily do that doesn't mean it should have the power to trivially do it. There is some oversight right now, as opposed to zero oversight if the government directly owns your money.
Don't let the best be the enemy of good.
Typical state excuse, "false information". Also there was growing anger, they cannot control it like the mainstream media. Media will only show the actions blessed by the state.
I have found that even 2D games (eg Hades) aren’t reasonable to run at 4K, but basic gui desktop with a terminal emulator works fine.
I’m heavily considering it myself. I know folks that are so subservient to Google that, despite Google’s objective deterioration in results as of recent, believe that something not shown on Google must mean it’s no longer accessible.

Millions of people believe in the Dead Internet theory because of it, when all they need to do is try a new search engine. I look forward to seeing if Bing’s ChatGPT integration will be enough of a selling proposition to have the masses consider new alternatives for Search.
Kind of. It’s not unheard of for the plane to have issues on the runway. Flat tire, avionics settings, whatever. That causes you a delay on the runway, or to just have to sit there and close the runway

On a regular day the controller could see this, and ask what is going on. At a small GA airport with training ops the controller is likely used to people pulling out onto the runway and taking their god damn time. The FAA actually advises wait times of as long as 2 minutes for wake turbulence, and that’s something I’ve done. Just sit there on the end of a runway.

Things get a little different, in practice, at busy commercial airports, but the rules are the same.
> There are many other ways to barter and exchange goods.

Genuinely curious - what do you think will happen (and what would be used)?

I genuinely can't imagine most of the people in my life (be that older relatives, non-tech friends, whoever) using anything but whatever 'money' is convenient. None of them care the government might be watching, and if they were going to barter for anything they're probably already doing it ("you help me with this DIY, I'll take you for dinner").

FWIW I'm in the UK, so perhaps my perspective is skewed?
Given that I am an occultist and a divinatory reader (tarot, etc), I see no issue with selling spellkits as goods to use. I also see no issue in selling spellcasting or divinatory services either. But I also acknowledge significant problems with companies allowing these to be sold and impossibility of validation or "returns".

Comparatively, selling spells can be quite easily compared with a Christian baptism, communion, the Catholic sacraments, prayer. The alms (baskets to collect money) is the cost for accessing these sorts of spells. Some Christian churches demand 10% of your earnings, which is way more than what some spells would cost.

Christians dont have normalized divinatory methods, so I'm unable to compare those. Their deity, YHVH, expressed a ban on that for most anybody - there exists a type of divination usable only by his high priest in Judaism while wearing the appropriate vestments, and only in yes/no questions.

From the occult community, what we see with "spell-selling" and the like is that it does attract frauds who are in it just for the money. Naturally, some here will consider any sort of esotericism to be a "fraud" - to those, nothing I say will be of any use. But the issue here is "How do you know if you're getting what's claimed?"

In order to know that you're buying a legitimate spell, the only way to know its true is if you can see and work with those energies initially... Thus meaning you would be able to do it regardless. Or you don't have those abilities developed and thus must trust who sold you the spells.

Of course, from a company's viewpoint, there's no way to validate spellcasting at all. Anybody could claim "fraud" and there's no defense against that. So it's easier to not allow these types of sales to happen. Effectively they're more problems then they're worth. (And doing a simple cursory search shows no christian prayer services being sold either... but that's easy to do with the abundance of churches in the USA.)

Edit: I'm really tired of having a discussion here, sharing my personal experiences, and having it drowned out with -1's. You may disagree with the occult. But it definitely is an area that Etsy had to deal with.

I guess the -1's are "I disagree with your lifestyle". Quite closed-minded, honestly.
I don’t know what you mean by “enthusiasts”. Dual source heat pumps are completely standard at this point. Even here in California (annual lows in the high 20F’s), it is hard to find a single source heatpump.
probably because other social media sites have already proven time and time again they are happy to weaponize their platforms against a population if the leaders of that country ask them too.
Thanks for the interesting replies to my question.

It sounds as though TeX cannot do anything about widows and orphans in the boring "simple" case of a long prose text with a fixed number of lines per page, because the only way[] to improve page breaks in that case would be to change the line breaks, which have already been decided. Mixing up the line-break and page-break stages presumably gives you an NP-hard optimisation problem, and perhaps Knuth was less interested in working on messy heuristic algorithms.

I've just found a couple of references to work in this area:

https://mirrors.mit.edu/CTAN/macros/luatex/generic/lua-widow...

https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/coin.12165

--------

[] I'm assuming that moving the margins or changing the line spacing would be unacceptable because it would make the pages of a book look obviously different from each other. So it turns out that the "simple" case is in some ways harder to handle than the "complex" case in which there are figures and footnotes and so on.

I hope Google is not pulling a Blackberry moment. I remember when the iPhone was first announced, BB scrambled to put out press releases saying they have competing products in development. 2 years later the Bold(EDIT: Storm) was released and everyone realized it's just a hastily designed iPhone clone. That marks the end of BB's dominance.

That's wild to me because it's my understanding that most HR departments consider anything over 30hrs a week to be full-time. I didn't encounter any of that last time around. My offer from Farmer's included a pension and full benefits. I'm a small sample size though...
If their [OpenAI's] server status is any indication, they've been fully tapped out for the better part of 2 months collecting prompt training data.

Not sure how 100k google employees will be able to match that degree of training data.
Well, being a C++ programmer for years who really would not mind going back to C++. Yes, these are known things. When one wants to call atoi, one has to know that either the string is zero terminated or that non-numerical characters follow the numerical ones... Same kind of thing with pop_back. I would not know that calling pop_back on an empty container is undefined behaviour by heart but I would be suspicious enough that it might be to check the docs to find out.
How convenient to make strikes illegal. That disarms the union of one of its most potent weapons in ensuring its members get their due.
No, it’s a “product manager who wants their apps to look the same everywhere rather than respecting users” thing.
chatgpt outputting credible bs is EXCELLENT to the extent that it will push intelligent people into critical reading of everything around them - "[citation needed]" et al.

Just a guess, but probably a show of military response vs. just hacking the controls and manually landing it (it had navigation controls). Perhaps they did not wish to expose other capabilities.
Start by networking more with people online. If you see an insightful or interesting comment in HN, try to get their email and move the conversation to email. Email them questions and pick on their brain (people love showing off their knowledge!). Then maybe if you're in town, see if you can meet with them over coffee.
In cold climates, heat pumps are usually supplemented with electrical resistance heating (or even gas in some cases). The switch over is automatically controlled by the thermostat. No need for a wood stove or other hassles.
IMO the Aero case qualifies; that definitely would've turned into an entire cottage industry with several competitors and different business models if SCOTUS didn't kill off Aero at birth: https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2014/06/supreme-court-pu...

The damage is still being done. I am a non-producing farmer in EEU. I know for a fact many local farmers still use Roundup on crops, even though its illegal. There are no checks done when they sell the grain. All the bees in the area have already died.
I did a similar fun project. I created my own slot machine. I made a small shelf like cabinet out of wood, set a TV on it in portrait mode leaning against the wall, added a few lighted push buttons, and dropped a Raspberry Pi inside. I never finished the software side, but I was pretty proud of the looks of the machine.
Taking the power away from decentralised / competing entities motivated by profit and giving it to a centralised government that has a track record of abusing individual freedoms and seeking more power is not a good thing

Aye, if I mostly know a subject why bother to take the time to write 10 pages when I can outsource that to a bot, and if they question me I can do a 20 min oral interview and save myself the trouble?

For me it's generally k8s. I'm currently migrating most of my stuff to a new setup :) I want to give headscale a shot. I've used my k8s to run Gitlab CI jobs and some of my apps/toy projects.
I'm wondering how they plan to get decent content. I just searched two of my interests, climbing and canoeing, and only a handful of uninteresting videos popped up. Are there specific topics that have engaging communities on the site?
Tbh I think that prompt is spot on.
In a likely implementation, it will centralize control over accounts and transactions. Anyone with access will be able to grab all financial data in a pinch. Rich people, and resourceful organisations, OTOH, will be able to circumvent it. So it is to be expected that e.g. terrorism investigations will center on normal citizens, just because it's easier to do.

And any future authoritarian regime will of course not play by today's rules, and put the opposition under financial scrutiny within a day, and simply starve the people it doesn't like.

I hate banks, but I think I like them better than this option.

That's most of fields. Webshit development is very much exception here, although one with a lot of market share.
I live outside of Boston, about two hours south of Portland Maine. We have a LG Heat Pump installed in 2021, consisting of the following:

LG/LG LMU360HHV Outdoor Unit

2 LG LSN180HSV5 Indoor Units

2 LG LMN079HVT Indoor Units

We also have a natural gas furnace, now rarely used ... except when it gets really cold. During the deep freeze I wanted to see how low the LG could go before the gas furnace kicked in.

The house is 100+ years old, with updated insulation in the basement and roof as of 2021 (required to get a no-interest loan on the heat pump in our state).

On Friday, as the temp dropped, we set the units to 70 degrees F (21C). At 1 pm it was 15F outside (-10C) and the interior temp was 62F (17C). It was able to maintain that interior temp until 9:30 pm when the thermometer dropped to -3F (-20C) at which point the interior edged down to 60F and the furnace kicked in.

The heat pump continued to work all night, albeit blowing lukewarm air. At 6 am it was still dark and the outside temp had dropped to -11F (-24C) and the heat pump was still working but the gas furnace was doing most of the work to keep the interior at 60F.

On a local FB group, people shared their heat pump stories. A few only had heat pumps with no backup and reported the interior temp dropped to the 40s or low 50s (~10C). One person said that one of their two outside units froze during the night (I believe the result of condensation forming). Regardless of the type of heat, many people all over the city had burst pipes in their walls, ceilings, and basements, including several hospitals.
Beyond that, who's maintaining it? Are you going to be able to deploy these things across every single one of your systems? Your website? Your apps? In conjunction?

I absolutely understand that you could just read somejson from a cdn and call it a day, but at some point someone is going to have to maintain it and become the defacto feature flag person lol
The key to its success I think is controls. I could never feel comfortable with portable gaming because controls always felt clunky for games I like. This thing treats controls as the centerpiece, allowing seamless sharing of layouts between players: just pick the most popular layout for any game. You can play freaking real time strategies on this thing fairly comfortably.
Getting healthy and looking good is the base line. If you workout for 6 months and don't see immediate changes you probably did something wrong. If you workout for 12 months and aren't looking better youre not proficient
