I started building this in late 2018 as a way to deliver web scraping script builder application on any device with a single codebase without any download, i.e., "clientless"-- so there's no need to build a mobile app, and electron app, that uses WebView, with two separate codebases (or go hybrid?), to give the web scraping script builder the widest possible distribution.

At some point I factored out this "WebView tag for the open web" and turned that layer of the scraping system into a bonafide project in its own right. Eventually it became a product, then the major product that my little company sells.

I'm still figuring out the right business model, but a combination of licensing, installs (on prem), building white-label customizations, and experiments with SaaS have kept us afloat.

I also like the provocative move of being the only "RBI" product that has its source code in the open. First, it was just the "community edition", but recently I put the whole shebang (Pro et al) online (but with a non-commercial, non "Open Source" license, to be sure--while making the regular CE version finally "Open Source" albeit with AGPL-3.0 (I think forever this time! Haha :P :) xx ;p).

I think the next step for us here is going to be experimenting with a SaaS offering, maybe lead by some sort of cool free demo. The way pricing works on the smaller cloud providers, actually makes RBI (even with its bandwidth hungry real-time streaming aspect), very affordable (as long as, for the sake of COGS, you avoid GCP and AWS). We also want to get into the cloud custom VPS image marketplace, stack scripts, etc.

As it stands the deploy script should work for Debian and MacOS. Let me know if you try it out and encounter any issues! You can reach out: cris@dosyago.com

I'm still not convinced that RBI is the "wave of the future" for cybersecurity, I think of it more as an interesting virtualization layer that can power multiple applications, web scraping and automation being just one. Think of a "virtualized" browser extension API, without the gatekeeping of the Web Store, that's not closed, but open for all to extend.

That's one of the things that the power of this model brings.
Bash is a shell. A bad shell. Korn is a good shell.

It's not meant to be a real language. It's meant to be a shell. Here, let me back that up and reverse it for you.

<JAVA>
public Set<String> listFilesUsingJavaIO(String dir) {
return Stream.of(new File(dir).listFiles())
.filter(file -> !file.isDirectory())
.map(File::getName)
.collect(Collectors.toSet());
} //I'm not handling errors, and this doesn't actually print anything, it just lets me try to.

<SHELL>
ls

Shell is meant to be a common way to do common tasks on commandline, and make a little script if you want to save that and run it again. I can do little things in a shell one-liner quick, that would take a page of python or perl.

I put up with my sports car because there's no better alternative. It doesn't mean I should put up with a sports car for transporting my piano, just that I must put up with it at least to the point where the sports car can transport me to the car that transports a piano.
Akshyually it's science! The neurochemical impulses of the loxodonta anonymous compel them to smother the rotting flesh of their deceased members in order to abate insect-borne viruses and prion diseases. It's an evolutionarily ingrained sanitization ritual. I fucking love science!
Residential streets in Tokyo are narrow and sometimes barely fit one car.

As for parking, well, it's market price. It's expensive because parking has been subsidized as the default in vast majority of the world.
A “monopoly” in what product category?
I think the more amazing thing is the "only" 165 W power draw for the 4060 Ti. Although, given marketing these days, I am sure that number is lying, but I am still happy to see something reasonable. The 4090 is listed with a TDP of 450W.
Sure and that's your choice. But if I, a bike autist, want to live somewhere with density, where do I go? How many open units of housing are available for bike autists? If there was plenty of space for dense and sparse living then people would self-select, based on preferences and time in their life (maybe choosing a suburb when their child is very young and needs a lot of support but moving out once their children need autonomy.) Right now in America, the vast majority of housing is hostile to bike autists. That's why the title of this piece is "How to quit cars" because we've mandated car centric development in the US for almost a century.
I think I would use the word misinformed or misguided. I feel it's hard to get a clear understanding because there's a lot of performative politics. There isn't enough push back to obstructionism. There are people doing good work in legislature, but mainstream and social media tend to highlight the bad.

Regarding opinions about things like banning TikTok or protecting section 230, the divide is caused by bad technology literacy. I don't think it's fair to say it's been happening for a while, because the pace of tech development has been so much faster than legislature. The median age of the 118th congress is ~58 years old, broadband internet has only been around for the last ~20.
Even worse: IPC data is pretty much useless when it comes to comparing CPU performance!

How is it going to account for something like the introduction of AVX512, doubling the data throughput per instruction? What about increased cache greatly reducing the number of instructions waiting for memory access, or a faster memory controller? How would you even begin to quantify a new PCIe generation doubling SSD bandwidth, or a better core interconnect reducing NUMA penalties?

IPC is basically just a marketing number with today's CPUs. If you want to get a proper comparison, use a real-world benchmark.
> Another big incompatibility with C and C++ is that C++ is actually incompatible with K&R syntax

Why in the world would you use K&R syntax to demonstrate the differences between C and C++? Some of the most readable C code I've looked at has to be Sean Barett's single header files. And he sure doesn't use K&R syntax, and for good reason. Why not show something much simpler? Like the fact that you don't need to typedef a struct to use it without adding the structure keyword to the type like you do in C?

> Lots of Suckless users and developers only use C and POSIX shell in their programs. Cat-v endorses C and C-like languages, but despises C++. Even Linus Torvalds, the creator Linux and Git, won’t touch C++. Heck, even I love C but I can’t stand programming in C++

Ok man, you can gatekeep all you want. You know what's funny? Games are probably one of the quintessential examples of software that requires the performance of C or C++. And you know what the most sold game of all time is? Oh yea, Minecraft, written in Java. I'm sure that makes you shudder. And you know what? I'm glad Notch didn't listen to a bunch of gatekeepers and wrote it in a language he knew and could use and blessed the world with this amazing game.

Also, some people just don't hate themselves. They're not too hard core to realize that C has some very real flaws, but may still appreciate the simplicity of C. Those programmers may program in C++ in a style very close to C, but with the additional benefit of generic programming for type safe containers instead of a bunch of hideous macro magic that's bound to bite you in the ass very quickly. And you know what? There's nothing wrong with that either.

The funny thing is, I agree with the title of this article, but the whole tone is just gross. I'm so sick of gatekeepers ruining programming for newcomers and old timers alike. In the true spirit of being a hacker, quit being so anal and let people just code and kindly correct them if they spread a misnomer like the idea that C and C++ are 100% equivalent.
> I think Apple wouldn't ship this if it wasn't a very, very good AR headset

For heaven’s sake, Apple has a laundry list filled history of releasing half baked and subpar products - both hardware and software - and has been reliably consistent at doing that. I mean it’s just that its “target audience” sets their peak of standard what Apple expects them to, or to just what Apple offers.

I have been using their AirPod Pro 2 and I have also tried one by Jabra and Samsung (along with XM4 and 700 - I own(ed) these two) and my goodness the noise cancellation and call quality, in even slight noise, is atrocious. That’s just one example — don’t even get me started on their software and services suite.
If this were truly a blackhat effort, it could improve the quality of empirical papers at conferences specifically by practically forcing a reproducible-by-the-conference-XYZ org of the results on some benchmark using a Docker image, etc etc.

On the other hand, for investigative or more purely academic research, this could be another layer of nightmarish crap that people would have to sift through.

Also it looks like at least one example is basically cloned from the source set, just with...basically greatly reduced recall of the content (beyond some high points).

This feels nightmarish, to be honest. Well, I guess we'll find one way to adapt to it, or simply fall back to certain, much more provably-analog methods of doing things....

Bringing up Weird Al is doubly interesting, because he asked for permission from both the recording company and Coolio to parody Gangsta's Paradise. Though the recording company agreed, Coolio refused permission.

I would have sworn that I'd heard Weird Al had been misinformed and believed that he did, in fact, receive permission, but I'm not seeing any evidence of that. Either way, the most Coolio could do is write a diss track, though he later came to regret not supporting it from the beginning.

All of this is made even more ironic since Gangsta's Paradise is itself a very obvious reworking of Stevie Wonder's Pastime Paradise
Take a look at the paint next time you drive by. Is it marked with black streaks from tires crossing it? Would driving habits change if, say, some large rocks were lined along the paint stripe?

Without at least bollards the road isn't actually thinner, so people don't actually drive slower. And without at least bollards, I wouldn't let my kids ride in a bike lane— which means many other people won't feel safe either. It's unfortunate that politicians get away with this willful disregard.
I think saying C/C++ makes a better search term though.
I don't think the AP has gone fascist, I think they've gone leftist. This author appears to hate this fictional America they've invented in their mind, something lots of leftists do because they can't stand capitalism having a longevity beyond what their desired system of economic governance could ever achieve. So now it's the next best thing to take it down anyway they can, or steal the resources of America in the hopes of establishing their ideal world.

It's fascinating to study these people exert so much combined effort for complete failure. By now you'd expect some of these foolish people to give it up, but they keep writing fan fiction in the hopes of getting enough people to listen to them that they'll "revolt" as they claim.
That's my concern as well. Though if I'm honest I don't game for more than a few hours a week, tops.
Yeah, ok. I haven't studied with his books, so does he think that economical growth is more important than quality of life?

Older Windows games also run well on Wine[1] and (of course) Proton.

N.B.: AFAIK, running 16-/32-bit Windows software under open-source Wine on Mac OS, as seen here, is no longer possible on 10.15+ due to Apple dropping support for 32-bit software; commercial CrossOver[2] supports 32-bit software on newer Mac OS versions (and I assume 16-bit, though I haven't tested it).

I agree, a full phone was annoying large and hard to carry (tried forearm straps at one point) and often ran without one. Though I know people who still ran with a phone anyways.
So we can avert this if we enter a 27-year recession? Can't imagine why we've had so much trouble getting everybody on-board.
What you've described would be a game changer because of incredible AI, not so much because of a UI overlay. It would be just about as good to leave one of my headphones in and just ask an ultra-AI assistant my questions. Maybe have a set of glasses (not capable of UI overlay) but just having a camera so the AI assistant can see what I see.

The ultimate goal is not to reduce "traffic" (however you define it), the goal is to produce dense, livable cities that don't require car ownership in order to live. The reduction in car-related negative externalities is merely one happy side effect of this.

The bike lanes mentioned above all, by physical necessity, come at the expense of cars, either by reducing parking lanes or reducing driving lanes. Even if there were the same amount of traffic, fewer cars would be on the road because there is less road to be on.
I would hear this complaint in C communities for decades. I think it says something about how little people are writing C and C++ these days that so much of this thread thinks it's a bad take.

Granted, I don't think this piece of writing makes the argument as well as it could.
I remember running gentoo on sparc 5 and 20, late 90's. Took 3-4 days to compile mozilla. Fun times, but I won't be going back to a source based distro. Arch is fun, but sticking with Ubuntu for the cuda and dev tools.
C/C++ is a synonym for high performance, manual memory management languages.

When we say that someone knows c/c++ we mean that they know how to manage memory.
While I'm with you on fare enforcement, there are costs associated with fare collection. Usually it takes passengers time to pull out change and they can be confused about how and where to pay, adding to delays. Building the infrastructure for fare payment at gates is expensive and requires security to maintain and dissuade vandals.

Boudin's recall in SF also shows that there's certainly support for a tougher on crime stance, whether or not you agree with it.
> He recently developed supersonic missles

Supersonic missiles are heaps old. What Russia recently developed is _hypersonic_ missiles, and what Ukraine recently did is shoot all of down them with a patriot.

Turns out when your missiles move in predictable patterns they can still be shot down at hypersonic speeds.

Doubt.

Asahi Linux compatibility will absolutely be a major factor in my willingness to purchase Apple hardware. I just purchased a phone because GrapheneOS recommended it. This stuff matters.

The cultural aspect is so, so huge and as a person unable to drive due to my visual disability I’ve felt it very acutely ever since I was a teenager.

Getting your first car is/was essentially a rite of passage into adulthood, not just a way to get around. All the movies and ads told you that. Pick a girl up to take her somewhere? Nope, can’t do that. Are you even dateable if you can’t drive? Watching all your friends get their license and feeling like you missed out on graduating to adulthood? It’s painful. Want to use buses and trains? That’s cool but be careful of all those ‘bad people’ that want to rob you and don’t travel too late at night or too early in the morning, it’s unsafe!

A car is a symbol of freedom, independence and safety for many people. Freedom to roam about wherever you want, whenever you want as you please, without having to rely on your parents. I don’t blame anyone for thinking this way, it’s what we’ve been fed by culture for as long as I can remember.

Not that these perceptions are accurate when I look back on it, they’re as much to do with my own insecurity as a disabled person as they are to do with general society. It’s nice to know that this isn’t a thing everywhere in the world.

FWIW I don’t hate cars (I think I’m as much of a fan as anyone that grew up with gear-head mates) and over the years I’ve come to terms with never driving and quite like the financial convenience of not owning a car, but still. As others here have alluded to, giving up cars is a huge societal zeitgeist change, not just a change to do with infrastructure.

The important metric is not "how many people live in English-speaking countries". The important metric is "how many people speak English". There are several times more non-native English speakers than native English speakers.

Mandarin doesn't seem to be very popular beyond native speakers, and the Chinese population is shrinking. I wouldn't bet on it in a race for the next Lingua Franca. Though I can imagine a Firefly-like future with Mandarin words mixed in with English.

I'm not sure what you mean.

These are meant to be analogues to Photoshop and Lightroom, which also have a ton of overlap in features. In terms of photo editing, there's not a lot that Lightroom can do that can't be done in Photoshop (at least in my experience). But the point of Lightroom, relative to Photoshop, is that it makes it a lot easier to work with large groups of photos.

So yeah, single image editing vs batch image editing is a seemingly small but extremely important distinction.

"Is the word ‘chat’ changing its meaning?"

C++ is radically different from C. It has classes (with plain constructors, copy constructors, destructors, visibility rules), exceptions, templates, operator overloading, move, RAII, stuff like constexpr, to name a few.

Due to the above, stuff like `{ Foo * c = a + b; }` may have a completely different interpretation in C++ than in C.

Few people would write C++ as if it were C. They would then rather write C instead.

A C++ compiler happens to include a C compiler, and allows to easily mix C++ and C code. This is just a convenience; the Zig compiler also includes a C compiler and allows to easily mix in C code, but nobody would mistake Zig for C.

Saying "C/C++" is like saying "car/aircraft", just because an F-150 and a Cessna 182 happen to include a piston engine and a seat behind it.
It's worth mentioning most European cities didn't skip cars entirely. Amsterdam in the 70s was as much a traffic sewer as Detroit. They just realized they fucked up in the 80s and spent 30+ years correcting course.

Most rebuilt postwar European cities were built for cars. Then the people realized that sucked, often quicker cuz their legs y built environments accommodated cars poorly, and instead we got effective metro systems instead.

I use Gentoo on my web server, and generally do updates at least once a week.

I've probably used Gentoo for ~ 15 years myself, and I do think that the cli-only headless setup probably leads to fewer issues than with a full desktop environment.
