Well, whatever you want to call it, it's not monopoly, it's not illegal, and it's not even necessarily intended; it's just the nature of things that switching incurs costs. By this definition I too am "locked in" to my apartment, because even though my signed lease only runs through next year, if I want to leave I have to incur all the costs and hassles of moving.

But I don't really feel "locked in" to the apartment. Maybe it needs a better, more accurate phrase. "Switching friction"? That more accurately describes the situation than "lock in".
> golden visas are a loophole for sanctions against Russia's aggression

No. Portugal doesn't accept Russian citizens for golden visa since the war started. And do not process applications started before.

> one well known oligarch has a Portuguese golden visa

No. He didn't do the golden visa. He got it in a different way. He have got it "under a law that offered naturalization to descendants of Sephardic Jews who were expelled from Portugal about 500 years ago during the inquisition". And he received it about a year before the war and the sanctions.
This, plus if you see them mentioning the Henry Ford ‘quote’ about horses you can reliably close the browser tab because they’re about to build a straw man argument against doing basic customer/user research.
They can't provide data because it would contradict the story they're pushing about companies "struggling".
Neither of those thing are local-first, e.g. you can't search or compose messages while offline. Then again chat apps hold little interest when offline.
Is 40 seconds... challenging for people? Sorry, I don't know, maybe this comes off as entitled.

I'm 33, a SWE that sits at a computer 8hrs/day for work and then another 4hrs/day for play. I absolutely could not run five miles, but I do go for walks. I've smoked weed on and off for over a decade.

This website was absolutely trivial for me to accomplish with zero prep. I wasn't even concerned about my ability when I started - I knew the answer to be "yes." implicitly.

Surely 40s is not an indicator of strong, healthy lungs for all ages?

Pros:

- 4 GB and 8 GB RAM variants cost under $100

- M.2 slot supports high speed NVMe storage

- RAM options from 4 GB all the way up to 32 GB available

Cons

- No WiFi or Bluetooth included (requires either adapter for the M.2 slot or a USB adapter to get WiFi/Bluetooth capabilities)

- No eMMC option

- PCIe speeds are limited to 500MB/s (PCIe 2.0, benchmarks show closer to 250MB/s write or PCIe 1.0 performance) — this is slower than SATA3

The Turing Test. That's all we've got.

We cannot objectively detect consciousness, we can only assume someone is conscious based on the fact that they're like us and we have consciousness, and the fact that they behave like they're conscious.

AI lacks the former, so we're less likely to assume they're conscious, but we can test their behaviour with the Turing Test, and the assumption has always been that we're going to consider them conscious once they pass that test.

And these new chat bots really sound like they might pass that test. At least compared to some people.
They just did that a few years ago. I now have a bunch of old Swiss cash that can only be exchanged at the Swiss national bank. Annoying.
If you contract for services for a year, and pay for that year up front at a discounted rate, why would you expect a refund if you unilaterally terminate the contract partway through? Just wait until the contract is up to switch services. You already paid for those months! If you're not sure you want to use the service for a full year then opt for the month-to-month contract.
That's common in English. Spelling is digital so it's easy to error check, and remains static. Pronunciation is analog and drifts.

English spelling often gives hints about where words were at the time of the Great Vowel Shift, when printing was just starting to standardize orthography. We got a mishmash of various places, and words that entered after can be spotted from words that entered before.

This is of course a much more modern word. But the French were the innovators in cycling and they got to set the word, and mostly the spelling (though we did lose the diacritical mark).

You can try to update the spelling, but that rarely works. Autocorrect will likely entrench weird English orthography further.

Oddly, if I type dérailler, my phone automatically adds the accent (because I have a French keyboard installed. That is a different French word, or rather, it's the infinitive "to detail". It's pronounced duh-rye-a.

Here's the game changer no one has brought up, ChatGPT. You can ask it to proofread your work and point out the changes. You have to be explicit and ask it not to rewrite your text. It will catch typos, missed commas and periods. It does a very good job.

But it doesn't end there you can ask it to re write it and improve it. You decide how much editing it will do for you.

I've never done much writing primarily because I can never be sure how many typos will get through. I'm a horrible proofreader. I feel more confident now and will be doing more writing since I now have a proofreader.

Because there are enough (a veritable deluge of) alternatives that do not require extra work on my part.

Which is probably why the Dahl copyright holders are doing this(1). Not to appease some sort of modern sensibilities, but to make money. Apparently they think the investment will pay off.

(1) a less money-focused reason could be because they truly believe these stories deserve to be shared in the future, and see the things they changed as barriers to that goal while of little import to the message. But again, they think this step will "pay off" - in continued popularity / enduring part of culture then.

There are a lot of people who deal only in cash. I knew someone who was a shop mechanic. Completely self-employed and only took cash. When he died, he had stored savings in random places all over his house. He had thousands squirreled away. I can't imagine how much he lost due to inflation over the years, but he had plenty of money to live on.

Security is more than just auditing code to remove bugs - it's also being prepared for worst case scenarios for bugs that inevitably exist but have not yet been found.

For a security focused OS, OpenBSD is terrible in this regard. Pledge and Unveil are simply not sufficient.

Something like SELinux, RSBAC, Even AppArmor is sorely needed.

Wasn't mining in the browser basically shutdown by every major browser?

It was done super fast.. one can't help but think that Google pull all the levers they had at Apple/Mozilla to made sure the first viable alternative to advertisement was killed before it was born. But I think as a side effect it make PoW might be sort of impossible?

I don't really know how to mining "fingerprinting" works exactly - so would be curious to know if I'm wrong
I do this in Preact and it is a breeze.

But I also did it in an old Rails app with a bit of jQuery and partials. The modal loaded its markup from an endpoint. Saving was an http post that returned html which I injected into the DOM using some basic sorting / filtering logic. It was… ok, but there was duplicated logic on the front and back ends. I think if I had to abandon SPAs again, I’d probably have the “save” endpoint return the full page and just replace the html each time so that all logic lived in one place. To hell with efficiency— it’d probably be just fine and quite simple.

The UK was trying to negotiate a special agreement/treaty regarding Galileo. But the EU did not want to even consider it. Indeed even today the UK has not really given up on trying to be friends with the EU and continues to remain open to rejoining Galileo and Horizon programmes. Bizarrely, the latter of which, the EU seemingly had a moment of weakness during the negotiations by agreeing that the UK could remain members of Horizon - but then later had a change of heart and decided to break the agreement (international law?) in choosing to cut the UK out to this very day.
I'm not saying this isn't a cool thing, maybe it is. But "Intentional Camera Movement" is an ambiguous phrase. It took me a bit to realize it's about moving cameras intentionally (ie, blurry photos). Not about being intentional with or about cameras as a social movement. hah
> What you're saying is akin to "Guns don't kill people, people kill people", and that's true.

And to extend that analogy, let's say Smith and Wesson made a gun that was marketed as having a safety, but in reality the safety didn't fully work and every now and then someone was killed because the gun unexpectedly went off.

I'm gonna guess we wouldn't have folks coming out defending Smith and Wesson and blaming the owner.
When did you decide to be heterosexual? Did you experiment at all before making that decision?
As others are noting, "capital" in this context refers not just to resources, but to a particular pattern of distributing risk & reward among those who supply capital, labor and IP to some human venture. Given that the people doing these 3 things frequently do not overlap, the way in "capital" is preferentially treated when it comes to risk & reward makes it preferable for there to be a term to describe not just the resources, but that whole phenomenon.

> Not necessarily. It can happen in some cases, but in others it leads to a lack of innovative behavior because you shouldn’t invest in generating trade secrets or better products because you can just wait for your competitor to do so and then just obtain what they do. This is well understood.

It's a theory proposed in the defence of intellectual property system. There's zero actual evidence for it that I know of. But there's evidence that economies that disregarded intelectual property rights can grow and become dominant or at least seriously challenge current leaders. UK, USA, Germany, China and others became what they were and are today by blatantly copying innovation with complete disregard to any intellectual property which they introduced only after they rose to prominence to stifle competition.

> transparency is a moral virtue as you claim I find it odd that you need others to engage in moral behavior before you do so

People are immoral by nature. Being moral while others are not puts you at a disadvantage. I have no idea why are you surprised by my reluctance.

Scale is important. If a medical breakthrough can be delivered to 1% of the population vs 50% of the population, that is progress that meaningfully improves the human condition and affects how risk averse we are to different diseases. If we deploy electric vehicles to 5% of drivers vs 100% of drivers, that is going to have a tremendous environmental impact that can benefit everyone.

Meta Verified: Zuckerberg Follows Elon Musk
From Mark Zuckerberg's Facebook [1]:

> Good morning and new product announcement: this week we're starting to roll out Meta Verified -- a subscription service that lets you verify your account with a government ID, get a blue badge, get extra impersonation protection against accounts claiming to be you, and get direct access to customer support. This new feature is about increasing authenticity and security across our services. Meta Verified starts at $11.99 / month on web or $14.99 / month on iOS. We'll be rolling out in Australia and New Zealand this week and more countries soon.

poetry breaks once a while for me, so I am not using it these days.

pipenv used to be my first choice but it became inactive, seems it is actively under development again?

a few weeks ago there is a recommendation for PDM but I have not really used it.

For now I am using the pip+venv approach.

By the way, you better do: `python -m pip install` instead of `pip install`, don't remember why anymore but I did read somewhere that explained the difference and I agreed on then to prefer 'python -m pip install'
Should this title be given some sort of limiter/qualifier as in "Messaging queues should be empty"? I come from the video production world where you have things like render queues. These are designed to utilize a limited number (due to sheer expense) of hardware instances where if they finished the jobs so fast that the queue was always empty would indicate you have too many very expensive machines. A queue that is never empty, but is just finishing as new big pushes to the queue happen would be the ideal balance.

> What do I do when someone hits my content-rich Wordpress blog with a scraper that hits 100 pages a second to download my content, and my database falls over

It's a blog. Blogs are not complex. Why is your blog's database so awfully designed that 100 pages a second causes it to fall over?

> leading to real, legitimate users being unable to use my site?

You assume that a scraper is not a legitimate user. I argue otherwise. If you don't want a scraper to use your site then put your site behind a paywall.

> What if it’s not a legitimate scraper but someone with hundreds of proxies uses them to DDOS my site for days?

If it's a network bandwidth problem, then a reverse proxy (eg, CDN) solves that.

I'm not sure if I get the point of this article. So basically the author has learnt that there are a different ways of managing packages in Python? I'm aware that this might be a problem in Python, but let's be serious guys, you only need to spend 5 mins to learn about venv/conda and you will never face any problem in a basic Python project. You don't have to write an article about that.
I tried something like liveview way back in the day (10 or 15 years ago) and latency was the killer. It’s probably much better these days with 5G and more efficient refreshing (we did full page refreshes, IIRC). But this is still the reason I won’t use liveview or an equivalent. If you do run into latency issues, you’re in for a world of pain if your entire application is architected incorrectly.

Your response is correct, but there's a more fundamental flaw in the preceding comment: although both paragraphs are true in isolation, the implication between them is false. "The queue is _currently_ trending to infinity" does not imply "The queue will _continue_ to monotonically trend to infinity". Periodicity is commonplace in real-life situations; and while parts of Queueing Theory produces some insightful and helpful insights by ignoring it, care should be taken when applying them.

I don't think this follows, especially with your previous statement that:

It seems like the increased economic pressure of competing for less stuff would force people to be vastly more ruthless than they were in the 80s, which presumably would result in more problems.
