CNN isn't helping anyone by talking about 'conspiracy theories' and claiming

'....
In Spain’s case, much of the 'trolling' revolves around the rehashing of an old conspiracy theory: so-called “chemtrails.”

'Under many of the agency’s Twitter posts, especially those that refer to more extreme weather, users have posted images of blue skies, crisscrossed with wispy, white trails. They falsely claim the trails contain a cocktail of chemicals to artificially manipulate the weather – keeping rain away and causing climate change.

It’s a theory roundly rejected by scientists'.

One of the reasons CNN is a failed, irresponsible media company '(when it launched as a lightweight cable version of the vapid USA Today tabloid and was nicknamed 'chicken noodle news') is this type of dismissive, sloppy article that dismisses people's concerns.

Anytime I see the phrase 'conpiracy theory' I usually just skim and move on.
because the author wants it?
I would feel sorry for him too, because it sounds like the real problem was with your testing and code review process, not your very new co-worker. Why are your reviewers accepting broken patches?
So instead of making money, he decided to continue doing the exact same thing professionally for free? That doesn’t make sense.

Especially that copperhead os continued on living on his work..
Yeah I think it’s because the Steam Deck is very similar to the Switch, whose sales have been declining drastically the last year or two. Recently a big wig at Nintendo said something to the effect of “we want people who already own a switch to buy a second switch”, a “one in every room” type of deal.

To me at least, playing emulated games on something like a phone is unpleasant, because of the on-screen, touch controls. It sours the nostalgia and is plain ol unpleasant. The controls use part of the screen and aren’t tactile at all.
> there's a reasonable common sense expectation

Your logic error is in assuming all people have common sense and setting expectations based on that assumption.

This actually has nothing to do with common sense, a jr and sometimes even senior mobile devs would not have the mindset of avoiding a ddos to a third party api when writing a feature that needs to get the device ip. It wouldn't be on purpose, it would just be that they don't know that they don't know yet. These issues of slamming a backend server are pretty common and mobile devs don't know to avoid it until they cause it imo. This could also be malware too which wouldn't care about decency.

Point is, scale your service, adjust your terms, start rate limiting, or shut it down. Calling your users names is the wrong solution no matter the user's intent, and solves exactly zero of the issues at hand.

The service owner should feel proud to have such a popular service, many folks will never have to deal with scaling issues. As the saying goes "scaling issues are good issues to have".
cold storage by it's nature doesn't have a lot of writes...
IMO, that’s mostly Heritage Foundation nonsense. There are plenty of other policy specialists who disagree with the conservative analysis.
This allegedly isn't a DMCA safe harbor takedown, but rather a C&D based on Chapter 12 (which bans breaking DRM outside of certain exceptions, and I don't think any of the exceptions for video games cover personal entertainment use). As far as I know, Chapter 12 violations are considered a separate consideration from copyright infringement and are thus not covered by the safe harbor process (outside of which a counter-notification is irrelevant).
Yup, came to say this same thing! I read this whole article going “this is easily solved in Ruby/Lisp”
Official docker image for node is built from Alpine or Debian [1]

> what would Republicans offer a city?

There are a lot of local policies that are in the vein of the traditional GOP politics (small govt, personal freedom, less regulation, etc.) that are very applicable to urban living but do cut against national GOP politics. If they could separate the local from the national they'd do great.

Some examples:

* Cutting land use regulations to encourage more housing development. Urban areas suffer from ridiculously high housing prices due to overburdensome regulation

* Give parents more input into how their children's education via school choice.

* Reduce red tape/bureaucracy for accomplishing things in cities like slow permitting processes and starting businesses
I mean when you use the API (or the playground), you can go back and edit previous parts of the discussion and you see it as more independent chunks anyways. It's just an array of interactions.
I use Aniseed, but it's worth noting that it's something like a "framework" on top of Fennel and Neovim. So I also want to shout out Hotpot, which is more of a simple plugin that allows you to put plain Fennel files in your runtime path, without any additional "framework" to learn.

That said, I think the framework that Aniseed introduces is really nice, and I think would be useful for writing general purpose programs outside of Neovim.
The problem is companies can just ignore your request to license a patent. Did you know the reason any artist can "cover" another artist's song is that Congress added "compulsory licensing" to copyright law? For 9.1 cents per copy of a song, you can record your own version and sell it. We need to do the same thing for patent claims. Set a floor of, IDK, $100 per copy of a patent claim infringement. As it is now, damages are completely, un-capped and you have to pay for a lawsuit to get a jury to decide how much a patent is worth.
For those don't read the article:

> "NAND flash actually likes to be 'hot' in that 60° to 70° [celcius] range in order to program a cell because when it's that hot, those electrons can move a little bit easier," he explained. ... Go a little too hot — say 80°C — and things become problematic

Both innate talent and hard work are orthogonal to achieving desired outcomes (and you can get there with either). If your talent or efforts are pointing in the wrong direction, you won't get to the outcome, regardless of how well-meaning the intentions might be. If we talk about companies, it's not uncommon to be rewarded for outcomes, vs talent or hard work (a hard pill to swallow for many hard workers, in my experience). This of course requires a system of measuring outcomes, which is a whole 'nother can of worms.
> they are just extremely bad at securing their hardware platforms

Frankly, though I hate to defend them; this is wrong and an insult to Nintendo.

The Nintendo Switch was so, so close to being a masterpiece of security. Nintendo even built their own OS from scratch for it based on a microkernel. It is so secure that an open-source developer who reimplemented it (SciresM) has said we very likely may never have a kernel exploit on future Nintendo systems, ever.
The entire kernel is so compact there’s almost nothing to attack. Everything else from graphics to USB runs in sandboxed usermode and can’t run homebrew. This thing is intrinsically more secure than the Xbox One and PlayStation 5 in design.

Nintendo’s software was, according to him and other developers looking at it, downright almost flawless in security. The problem was NVIDIA, who had a bug in their recovery mode allowing unsigned code; and NVIDIA again for releasing a chip with inadequate protections against glitching. Nintendo did everything they could almost perfectly, but their chip supplier didn’t.

Both of those are one-time plays though. The next chip will almost certainly contain glitch protection; and the recovery mode bug has already been patched on newer Switches. Combined with Nintendo’s (literally) impeccable OS design, and the Switch 2 may not be broken for a very, very long time.

I agree to that. I probably should have used the word "deliver" instead of the phrase "compete with Microsoft".
As I understand it, scar tissue isn’t necessarily weaker, and can be stronger, but is mostly adapted to the injury and how it was able to heal. If the injury was well attended, scar tissue can be as good or better than what was there before. If the injury is neglected, or repeatedly re-injured before it could ever fully heal, then it will be tougher and less flexible and more painful even long after it has technically healed. It won’t move the same way as before, it won’t be as supple, it will need more attention over time.

An injury can take only a moment, but recovery and healing takes much longer. If you address it sooner rather than later, and if you take care to avoid similar injuries, it’s more likely to heal well. If it’s neglected, if you half-ass it, etc., it may never heal properly.

A nitpick, but only because other than that it’s not a bad metaphor.
Yup, came to say this same thing! I read this whole article going “this is easily solved in Ruby”
pihole and other dns blocklists would reduce traffic to their service, not increase it
Plus, for preservation's sake, there at least needs to be some attention paid to 1:1 media dumps, as closely as possible.
It’s relatively painless to massage scar tissue. Relationship rough spots are more like cavities that are constantly unpleasant and the require a really unpleasant day to address.
I had the idea for a very similar game, using notes/chords/arpeggios to attack enemies, wanting to first make it for the piano (MIDI). My idea was somewhat simpler, maybe a 2d vertical scroller.
Show HN: WhisperPix – Add comments to photos with your voice
WhisperPix uses whisper.cpp to transcribe your voice and saves the output directly to EXIF metadata.

I am currently going through decades of old family photos with my grandmother, and we wanted a convenient way to add comments to those photos. She cannot type very quickly so I originally created the app to let her do this with her voice.

Feedback and suggestions are welcome.
Today you could have the same average power consumption with an Odroid H3, and probably juggle more quality codecs too. (Well, sans the Digium card; but it’s just mindboggling how far we went with power consumption these days.)

I’m wondering how necessary POTS lines actually are these days (and how many connect to VoIP on the telco side). Should depend on the country.
Hmmm I would argue you have to have a certain personality type to game the system. So that falls more into innate talent.
Copyright infringement is not "stealing", it is not "theft".

Plagiarism is closer to stealing, as one is trying to misrepresent ownership. But even that is not legally stealing.

Please use correct terminology.
That's a cat and mouse game messaging platforms would lose. e.g. you can encode arbitrary byte pairs as English words using a 64kword dictionary. Platforms would have to start deciding "does this English looking text make sense?"
This was (AIUI) the reason that google disabled the ability to adjust cast content volume via the volume rocker from their Android phones. Interestingly, I noticed that this feature had returned recently in at least one non-Google apps.
Also, the “why didn’t he have fire insurance” is silly. There is no way anyone will insure a dilapidated ghost town with no running water, and only 4x4 trails straight up a mountain for access. It’s hard to even get fire insurance on a regular house in California if you’re on a hill or far from a fire hydrant. He also probably has no mortgage on this place. That’s why he had to get his wealthy friends to loan him money as “investors.” The whole place cost less than a regular 2 bedroom house in the Bay Area.
Something similar happens when you use Spanish accent letters (á, é, í, ó, ú, ñ) with fonts that don’t include them.

It’s amazing to me that many people seem to not notice or care that random letters don’t match the font style and they keep using those fonts for Spanish.

I'd say it's more about fashion than cost. I bet Apple spends more on designing and manufacturing their computers than SGI spent on their moulded plastic trim, it's just that the fashion these days is incredibly boring and lacking in imagination.

Bit reversal is used in Fast Fourier Transforms. Its not entirely surprising to me that you'd have specialized hardware for that operation.

is the Steam deck powerful enough to run Dolphin?
How I Designed Fruit Ninja
Yes. Right and wrong are invariant under incentives to do the wrong thing. That's why we call them right and wrong, rather than optimal or not.

You will never get everyone moving in the right direction if you dogpile the first one to take a step. In practice, these changes almost always require someone to do it on their own before anyone else takes the idea seriously.

> Is this at all related to the ongoing negotiations at the World Meteorological Organization over access to data?

To me, questioning if it is "related" implies intent, and "trying" implies an active subversive effort.

But if you really mean this is all just a coincidental situation for the WMO to take advantage of... that still doesn't make any sense, because the tweets aren't from a specific country.

That's just not true. Over 10 years ago I switched to Chrome because it was much faster but it's been nearly 5 years since I switched back because Firefox was blowing it away
Breadth of patents is the most obvious issue--though it's somewhat understandable scope creep given that mechanical inventions are probably not as central as they once were. But any system of IP protection is always going to favor the entities who can afford good lawyers and pursue enforcement claims. A system where those same large entities can swoop in and copy anything they want is not obviously better.
Rain seeding is a thing of course.

But that's different to contrails which are what conspiracy theorists point to as their "chemtrails"!

It should be noted that rain seeding is realistically rarely used.
In a way, yes. But I left because I could see no future for the project due to the fact that I could format my system partition without getting warning and other similar issues. I have to say that I wasn't a coder or anything, only invited to test. And I quickly felt that there was no way this thing could be made to fly.

I admire the people behind ReactOS for their perseverance, I really wish I had just 1/10th of what they have.
In the same way that you are still trespassing even if you can easily step over a fence saying "no entry". Try going to a judge and saying "well the sign lied, because yes I was able to entry when it said I shouldn't be able to"

Crimes are not based on technicalities, they are based on intent. The environment put up resistance and signs to let you know it was trying to effectively control your access. You just willfully ignored them and stepped over the fence anyway.
I think we have to get used to the idea that we’re not going to be less than 600 ppm, even with CO2 capture. I would be surprised if we manage to scale that enough to make a larger difference. But that’s still much better than we’d get at without attempting to remove CO2, so it’s an important goal.

The one thing that might change that is very ambitious geo engineering. Which actually is the solution that makes most sense to me. But the very people who are most concerned about climate change don’t seem to support that.
Yeah maybe, but in this day and age it's completely unreasonable to expect anything from users. You need to expect the worst and if your system is not prepared for it, then sorry, it's badly designed.
There are many anti-abuse measures and if you're deliberately not using any of them, then that's on you.

You got downvoted for this for using the term “class” but I tend to agree. In this context it has nothing to do with how much money you make. I have know classy broke people and trashy rich people. For me, using your phone at all during a meal better be met with an apology and, likely, some reason offered to the group, the same as if you jumped up and ran out the door. Mentally, that’s what picking up your phone is.

This planting should happen one time, not yearly. Of course every dead tree should be replaced though. If there are 204 trees capturing CO2 for every human (and these numbers are correct) we should effectively be carbon neutral. No idea if that is even remotely realistic though

They'd still have to pay a patent license after paying the damages.

Finland is part of the EU and has a national strategy. While migration is easier between member countries, it isn’t unrestricted. You have to live in an EU country for some time before qualifying for welfare there, which means poor people can’t easily shop for the best social welfare. Finland doesn’t put its homeless in institutions, just in semi assisted living situations.

Homelessness is definitely a national problem. The fact that someone without housing from Great Falls Montana first winds up in Spokane and then Seattle should give you a clue. Yes, you can’t be homeless in great falls because you’ll die, so you move to a place where you’d at least survive with services and maybe better weather. Expecting the west coast cities to shoulder the nation’s homelessness burden is not just ludicrous, it is ultimately futile.

The premise is important in how the problem can be solved or not. If it’s a national problem and we treat it like a local problem, no solution can possibly work. If it is a local problem and we treat it like a national problem, likewise. Non-profits that count these things don’t do it very well, eg when they did the count in Seattle they found out 70% of its homeless population was from pioneer square (probably where they were counted), which is crazy if you know Seattle. We have a huge data problem which leads to bad solutions given wrong assumptions.
Extraordinary achievements are not rewarded much. A random on Wall Street makes as much or more than a Terence Tao off just an old-money surname.
They don't work nearly as well enough or in the case of hydro storage are available in enough quantity to cover a month of weak wind.

For example. The US would consume its entirety of pumped hydro storage in a third of a day.
The 2 patents (10,848,885 and 10,469,966) aren't about the technicalities of changing volume simultaneously, they are about the way the zone profiles are updated, configured, and stored so you can refer to them as groups to perform the action on in the first place. From an implementation perspective, the only thing in question here is needing to signal you want to send the volume change control to each device instead of ones in the bedroom. It's unrelated to how you accomplish implementing the change, close in time, across the devices (which are already streaming the music close in time anyways).

I genuinely think this is a UK/US thing (limiting to those countries because that's the limited experience I have); in the UK this is absolutely true. There is a definite cultural thing going on where people play down how much effort they put in to things. It's definitely 'uncool', throughout school, higher education and in the workplace, to be super keen.

Contrast to the US: American colleagues I've had have all agreed that it's kind of the reverse on that side of the pond. I've heard people brag about the hours they've put in to work; that would be a complete embarrassment over here, especially if the work turns out not to be top-tier.
