So youtube red instead? They split the creator portion of your subscription between the creators you watch (assuming they've setup the ability to get paid by YT). Worth quite a bit more than ad views too, last I heard.
The claim is money supply debasement, which is related to but not directly aligned with consumer price index (CPI) which only measure inflation for some theoretical "average" consumer based on some bucket of goods, services, and assets that increase or decrease in cost at sometimes wildly different rates.
A toggle allowing me not to see the videos with sponsored content would be nice and a comparable amount of work, probably less.
Oh come on. You can CHANGE passwords. That's the the point.

Passwords are safer not because they're bulletproof. They're safer because they fail elegantly. You can't change biometrics and that's why they're definitely worse. They might be acceptable as one of many factors, but they're absolutely the worst idea for a primary.

> webpages are absolutely capable of this

You write this as if a "webpage" is one single thing. Maybe you picture a simple news article or blog entry - sure, it's fundamentally a document, HTML is almost purpose-built for publishing that kind of content.

On the other hand, there are countless webapps that are being built to replace what used to be (or would normally have been written as) desktop applications. The document model is poor fit for these. SPAs deliver a better, application-like experience.

These two things can coexist on the web. It doesn't have to be all one or the other. Flutter obviously targets the app experience, and you'd be foolish to use it to target the document experience. You'd be just as foolish to go the other way; page-oriented admin UIs (example: Shopify) are awful.
I really like cryptpad. Thank you for developing it.

I have used it a few times in a professional setting even when there is no need for end-to-end encryption, and it is a good experience so far.

I encourage others to try it .
Well they certainly won’t upskill as higher paying jobs are about to be “freed” as well.
Sorry, thanks. I’m not as interest in support software for the literal business itself, but support services for being any business - benefits, payroll, legal, all the minutia you ultimately hire a office manager, HR, finance head, etc. In my old startups we had dotcom era funding so I just hired these functions out.

The software we need for the actual revenue producing business is all custom kit we are building ourselves. So no hosting, no websites, no CDN, no payment system, etc.
Hm... I was prepared to be skeptical, but the winning pair is indeed a really great anagram. Good stuff!
Yes, I have built one on top of Next.js.

This presumes Google is never the bad actor, not a smart assumption.
Defense works in layers: bounds checking is a programming language technique (although you can typically switch it off in (some) compilers). ASLR is an OS technique, which works even if bonds checks are switched off. IIRC at some point one OS (Debian?) had a bug in the randomness generation for ASLR, and it was easy to circumvent ASLR because of that.

What scenarios are ideal for Flutter on the web?
Not every web page makes sense in Flutter, but we think Flutter is particularly suited for app-centric experiences:

Progressive Web Apps
Single Page Apps
Existing Flutter mobile apps
At this time, Flutter is not suitable for static websites with text-rich flow-based content. For example, blog articles benefit from the document-centric model that the web is built around, rather than the app-centric services that a UI framework like Flutter can deliver. However, you can use Flutter to embed interactive experiences into these websites.

I don't think it's everything they work on, but it's a step in the right direction.
cargo transport for things like food, which given dense areas can be handled by more carbon efficient methods like water and rail

i am skeptical about that. at least with the existing huge high density cities like those in china. less density (well, actually small islands of high density, in relation to your point four) would allow space for local food production. and truck vs train is not a factor of distance. if anything longer distances are more efficient by train and water whereas the last mile likely will remain with trucks (which could be electric though)

i agree with the other points, and i wasn't aware that wood construction went that far already.

coincidentally i was just listening to a german audiodrama about capturing carbon.
You can have local watchdog process and reboot to failsafe configuration on next boot. You can also set a timer to do this unconditionally when trying a new network configuration.
he said that only in the US would work be disincentivized by high taxation. That is not the case.
I think that their theory might go something like this when extended:

Whatever early state of the universe was in there was a huge set of possibilities but a smaller set assemble into anything and even smaller set can assemble into things such as atoms that have stable eletron orbits that can mix with other atoms giving rise to chemistry.

It's not saying this option is inevitable but some option is. We happen to live in the option that gave rise to atomic matter that self interacts allowing to assemble more complex matter.

Of course this doesn't include dark energy and dark matter which presumably doesn't interact chemically with the matter we are familiar with but none the less could still be a component needed/useful for life.
You won't see them if you disable the tabbed inbox, which I recommend anyway because the classification of threads into tabs is surprising and inconsistent.

Ok but what exactly is the benefit of using ChatGPT for that? It is more than a year and a half out of date.

It doesn’t know the Thai place’s current hours and doesn’t automatically surface a one-click link to their menu or reviews.

Why would I use ChatGPT to get the IRS phone number when I could use just as little effort typing it into a search engine and going to their actual .gov site with no risk of hallucinations?

When I’m using a new library, often I want an overview of the types and functions it surfaces. Why would I use an outdated and possibly halluciniated answer (that takes 30 seconds or more to generate) instead of clicking on the link in Google and having a nice document full of internal links appear instantly?

I don’t want to use the chatbot for the sake of using the chatbot. I want to use it when it’s better than what I already have. Sometimes it is better, and in those cases I use it a lot!
There's a density limit on carbon neutral housing, you can't scale vertically and lower carbon impact. IIRC it's something like after 3 stories you need to scale horizontally for solar power to offset the carbon impacts of powering the pumps for water/sewage, elevators, and additional concrete required for foundations.

So it's not necessarily dense that's the most environmentally friendly.
I would like to understand how blocking element suppresses dissent in India. Every month there is somebody protesting in Delhi with media coverage.

I would agree with you if the terrorism problem was more like that in the west. But people are killed by terrorists almost every week in India.
The gains are not wiped out, they're just not liquid.

We bought our first house about seven years ago and are about to sell it. The house appreciated almost 75% over that span of time. We bought a new house in the same price range. I'm just transferring the appreciation of the the first house to the second house. But since it's a higher real dollar amount, I was able to put a much higher percentage down on the new house and get a better total cost of the loan as a result. I still have all of the gains I made, even if they're locked in equity in the house, and was able to leverage them for additional value in reduced interest paid. Because I had more equity from the first house, it also made it easier for me to outbid other bidders, because I didn't have the same debt-to-income constraints they did.

Even if the gains aren't liquid, homeowners gain at the expense of non-homeowners.

I think the difference here is that there is no way to MITM email verification because you get an email in your inbox directly from the service provider. There isn't any way to intercept that. But for domain verification, there is. Hostile service provider A could request ownership of domain X with some other service B. When you, the owner of domain X, go to register ownership of domain X with A, A can show you the information provided service provider B and end up stealing your domain with B.

Honestly, it kinda fits my perception of Google, which is that they don't really have good business sense for creating new products - they invent first, find applications after. This 'leak' feels like it has that same kind of perspective.
Paul Graham.. the guy who created this website.
I’m not sure I see how alt+control+delete is a ‘ritual’ - is it a ritual to tell people to “stop” when you want them to stop? Or to reply “yes” to indicate an affirmative response when someone asks you a question? alt+control+delete is a command, like pulling a lever to operate any appliance - is it a ritual to open the door of a refrigerator before you pull something out? Or to disengage the parking break before you start driving your car? Or is it simply a mundane utilitarian interaction with a tool?
Same. Imagine a distributed backend made mostly out of TCL. It was a nightmare.
Many recruiters are saying that companies are keeping their pipelines warm and still putting applicants through the process but few are actually hiring. There was also a recent post on LinkedIn about a trucking company in south Alabama that was upset with their recruiter because they were sure the FAANG layoffs meant they could get FAANG engineers to move to Alabama to work for a trucking company at a sub $100k salary. That's n=1 but does make me wonder if many non tech companies are convinced they now have a shot at top talent for bottom tier prices instead of hiring the local university graduates they usually get. If so, eventually the need to actually fill those roles will bring the hiring managers back to reality but it will take time for that to happen. Also if we get into a recession, companies are going to close the open positions and no manager wants to lose headcount so that should spur some of them into action. For now, the tech job market is full of bad information and unrealistic expectations.
I wrote a CMS / personal website hosting system that lets me publish straight from the Bear App note taking app that I use every single day.

Write or edit any post as a note in Bear, give it a tag so it gets published as a blog post or a new page, run one command and my site is updated.

The software is available as AGPL licensed open source.

I blogged about it, if you'd like more details:

I've used Python on many large projects over the past 20 years. IME it's been extremely usable for big projects.

Additionally I've consulted on a couple of large Python that were a mess, but on closer inspection, the team was doomed to fail no matter what tool they used, and honestly I think Python just helped them get further than they otherwise would have. :)

> Unlike ReactNative they do their own rendering so that you can have pixel-perfect consistency across platforms.

You can make an argument for this, but this is exactly what people are generally objecting to. Most people expect native apps to look and feel like they are native to the platform, that they support accessibility and other platform features consistently and don’t introduce surprising conventions from other platforms.
I have my doubts about IVs in practice, but I agree they theoretically are an acceptable substitute.

The problem is we conduct science on systems we don't fully understand. Because we don't fully understand it, it's easy to miss important information we didn't know is important.

The double blind with random selection allows us to control for all important information, determine causation, and is the best known method for controlling for bias. We don't have to worry about missing important variables because the nature of random selection means those variables are randomly distributed.
Re C++/Rust: That’s expressivity, which is a different axis.

C can’t control cache behavior, has no SIMD control, and no threading support (non-standard extensions doesn’t count) It maps well to PDP-11, but that has barely any similarity to modern CPUs.

For what its worth, one might argue that C++ and Rust are lower level, as they can even control some of the above listed functions.

As for “closeness to generated assembly”, as I said, at O3 the generated code doesn’t resemble the source at all — it might not even execute anything your wrote, it may have calculated the result at compile time and will just return the result/look it up in a map at runtime.
A word or sentence embedding is a long array of numbers that represents the semantic "position" in a high dimensional space, which allows you to find the distance between any two sentences in this semantic space. My understanding of paragraph and document embeddings is that they are an average of all the sentence vectors combined as one point, which lets you find the distance between any two sentences in this semantic space.
Oh wow. I had thought the claim that they were not producing any semantic web elements was almost certainly exaggerated. That said, for the number of things that are on https://gallery.flutter.dev/#/reply, there are a surprisingly low number of elements. Wow.

I’m pretty sure I wrote an anagram solver as a teenager that just spins through permutations forever. I guess I was that stupid once. No comment on whether I’m cured now. Your point is valid, the wording can be read as to imply negativity, but that’s also interpreting it in a negative light. The author was also defending his warning against an imaginary rebuttal, justifying the mention to not to waste time solving anagrams the naive brute force way. I don’t think he was trying to be elitist or offensive, and it is in fact true that people will solve anagrams the slow way, so doesn’t hurt to mention it, and it can even help on occasion. We don’t have to take it as condescending.
Talk about people who were ready with the right product at the right time.
For "real word" experiences, check Crystal lang itself, and lucky, mint-lang, those are not toy stuff.
Writing a program to find grammatically correct sentence anagrams seems like quite the challenge.

I'm as density-friendly as it comes, but I think that we'd be much better off at maximum 20,000/sq km or so.

(That's not a magic number - that's about the density of the city of Paris, ignoring inner ring and outer ring. That's average across Paris, mind you, not some absolute maximum.)

Oakland is 3,000ish per sq km, for reference. Now, I'd prefer that we don't have to live in the 400 sq ft/40 sq meters kind of options that are older Parisian apartments, and I think that proper sound insulation is ground stakes (which current 5 over 1s in America don't do a great job with) but I think we can make the argument of more density without pushing for the extreme argument here.
E-scooters are reasonably stable when there's a small amount of ice so long as you don't use solid tyres. They are more stable than road bikes and city bikes because they have a wider area of contact with the ground. For more comfort, you can under-inflate the pneumatic tyres or buy studded tyres. Also, you feel steadier on them than on a bike because you always have one foot as a third point of contact if you need it, and you feel somewhat more in control than with a car as the inertia is lower. The battery life and dirt/sleet are more frustrating.

Don't knock it till you try it. Though be careful for the first time if you do try it, use common sense — drive slower and don't turn as sharply, dress appropriately as you'll be caked in mud. But otherwise it's doable and quite fun.

No, its quite possible for a language to have strong backing before it takes off (C#, JavaScript, Go, Swift, Dart, Rust all did, to varying extents, from day one) and those tend to also be the langauges that take off quickly. Other languages struggle until they attract either a sufficient mass of distributed backing or the one key backer that gives it the level of support and visibility that supports the adoption curve taking off, and most never reach that point.
I have heard that WASM and potentially some engine upgrades could aid the performance but I think it's still too early to say they'll be a definite fix, I'm looking forward to testing it out though once it lands.

Hopefully it helps out on lower end mobile browsers too as that's where Flutter Web really tends to chug.
and it can't do much either. Other FOSS browsers like Brave are independently funded and have a better survival rate than Firefox which has been losing millions of MAUs every year.

The only thing that can save Firefox is a better management and a better business model but we all know that's not going to happen. The current management has been unable to do anything of value.

I think you really limit yourself by having such an ardent stance, that creates a place where you are unable to explore the possibility of success by anchoring yourself to very old historical facts.

The web was trying to be a connected online media form from the get go. Calling everything but text a hack is a maligning that seems at best a half truth.

Even if it was a "hack," it's been evolved & changed so much. There's been so much experimentation & so much living with hard constraints for a decade & finally making revolutionary change. Flex ix, grid layout, just hundreds of really amazing sweet super well done improvements to css & we components. It's an incredible blank slate that expresses so many really interesting & open experiences & UIs.

I agree with the parent poster & with you. The web has stolen most of the good ideas from native apps. Most of that is via frameworks & libraries rather than the web itself, & to me, it's amazing that the web can keep innovating & changing it's form to meet developer preferences, while the low level "hack" platform remains. That diversity & possibility is a sign of great success, that it can seed such diverse & competent different modes of development so gracefully.

Similar strategies with the logitsprocesor. It is a more generalized version that's not just constrained to JSON parsing, but any regex. JSONformer/clownfish try to parse the types syntactically.

A regex is a better fit for a different class of problems. You might implement a JSONformer/clownfish with this instead.

Personally, if you're looking for "your own private" thing, I'm a much bigger fan of Tinc. The wireguards and zerotiers seem more appropriate for bigger, more corporate things?

I do wish Tinc had a slightly easier onboarding process, but once it's up, there's a great deal of stuff that I see people dealing with that Tinc users don't have to much think about, especially, e.g. the Mesh deal.

Tons of people do things that might one day make money while not actually ever making money. For me that's an indie game.

You have to account for the cost of transportation as well, though. The more density you have, the more you will be able to walk to most destinations and the more cost-effective public transport gets.
