Meanwhile you just insult me while making claims backed by 0 data. Here’s the reality: average commute in SF is 34 minutes each way. Barely over an hour, so again OP’s claim was vastly exaggerated to make their point. Even the “worst” commute (PA) is 80 minutes, a far cry from “hours a day”. Here’s my source: https://stacker.com/california/san-francisco/san-francisco-h...

37signals (basecamp now) is an exception. They didn't seek investment to get started. They are able to fully control their destiny because they don't have investors, they asked for Bezos to invest because they wanted him as an advisor, not because they needed the money.

So yes DEFINITELY possible to do a 37signals, but you need starting capital. Or at least an ability to live for free for 24 months while you figure out how to make cash from your business.

Most companies of that nature are started by either of the following scenarios:

- Kid(s) from a middle-to-upper class family who can live off their parent/grandparent's money for a few years while they figure things out. Maybe even family throws in a few hundred grand as a gift to get you started. Definitely have collateral for a loan.

- Already successful founders who have the ability to drop 200-500k into their company to get started, and already able to live off their wealth.
I was getting sick of Window’s bloat and telemetry so I replaced Windows on every single one of my computers with PopOS! and have never looked back. The transition was rough ( I basically gave up gaming to learn programming) but I have no regrets, and this post just validates that decision. Micro$ cannot and should not ever be trusted.

I do miss Paint.NET though.
Also tanks get bad gas mileage.

But the Ukrainians seem to have a lot of fight in them, and we are willing and able to support them solo from the US. So, I suspect the fastest path, of the options that the EU can actually pick from, is: maximum support, get it over with.
I've had two questions closed as duplicates--both involved situations where how I asked the question didn't remotely look like the duplicate question (no way I would have found it by searching) but it actually had the same answer.

very poor taste IMO.
Since Musk took over, I've been getting recommended a lot more right-wing topics and people. Maybe they were always there and just getting suppressed by the previous management, but I suspect there is a finger on the scale to try and push discourse in that direction.

I barely use twitter these days. The platform is falling apart. If you aren't a paying subscriber you will be deboosted, blue checkmarks are the ones that get raised to the top first. I also resent having to wade through a sea of bot garbage that aren't even real people. Just algos from Russia and other lovely places that are programmed to pop up and froth and foam if they see a keyword.

Old twitter was fun though, back when it was real people.
Out of curiosity. How is Discord a more helpful platform? I find it odd since it’s a more synchronous medium. Also, finding stuff from the past or adding thoughts to an older thread “for posterity” is a lot harder. So why do you think has it gotten so popular for these use cases?
I enjoyed the point (paraphrased) "that just because it doesn't scale, doesn't mean it won't work". People (can) enjoy exquisite gourmet restaurant meal, an all you can eat inclusive holiday package or coffee in a coffee shop but it probably doesn't scale.

We don't actually need complicated software or web application to run a community. Webrings were a way of navigating a very small web in the nascent days of the world wide web. People would link to eachother.

I think invite based communities can be high quality without moderation. dang does a lot of work to moderate this community. If you curate everything you read, then you can ignore stuff you don't like.

So I have a solution that is low tech too and doesn't require any protocols than what you're already using. Doesn't require your own web host or custom software, you can just use browser and you already know the website.

I use an ultra low tech solution to sharing things I want to share. It costs me nothing, it doesn't require an elaborate technical stack that requires me to remember arcane commands, maintain it or upgrade it or run a server. It doesn't require moderation or spam filtering or hosting.

I just use GitHub README.md as my blog and journals. Please do this too, then tell me about it. I would love to read other people's technical thoughts. So please do the same! I have 5 journal repositories on GitHub each with 100-800 entries on each of them because I'm interested in writing down my thoughts.

I have a number of repositories on GitHub for different purposes:

* blog: where my blog is hosted

* ideas ideas2 ideas3 ideas4 ideas5: my idea journals. I write computer related thoughts into this every day until I get to 100-800 and then create a new repository.

* wants: some things that I want to exist

* personal-manifesto: my own code of conduct
I've been using Feedly every since Google Reader shut down and I generally love it.
37signals is profitable, though. It's easy to say "I'm happy just being a small company making a good product" if you're making enough to keep the lights on, but if you don't know how to monetize your audience and user base then the pressure to accept investor money starts getting pretty high.
I think you are confusing different decades. The early Internet was way more decentralized and democratic.

Cryptocurrencies promised many things but only wanted to replace oligarchical companies with oligarchical miners.
Double pendulums are a great example of complex, chaotic, and dynamic system. Given an initial state, I wouldn't be able to predict the outcome. However, I could easily go over and smash the toy and then have a pretty good prediction of the outcome state.

The problem with Perl isn't that you cannot write good, comprehensible code it's that doing so is difficult.
I do this religiously, and would recommend two things above all else:

- Keep the format and entry method simple above all else. I use Sublime Text to edit markdown files now, and have only had trouble with various more feature-rich options like Obsidian.

- Write down what comes to you, and spend as little time as possible adhering to some format devised by you or some personality guru (like the ones discussed in this great post). You'd be surprised how easy it is to read back through less-organized notes, and if you don't experiment in the moment, you'll never find the set of rules/sections/formats/guidelines/etc. that work for you!
Yes though there are other large classes of error, I've had editor makers insist that they want their signed document format to include code and be signable. "Is that date fixed or calculated from the current time?"
Same here. Even the subreddits that are still open, I'd feel dirty reading.
Wow thank you!

So my idea is basically an alternate front end for email that would act as a social media platform.

Spam theoretically could be handled by filtering out any messages that aren’t from a list of users, which might be all platform users, verified users, or users within the network of the recipient.

If you have a basic understanding of mounts, sandboxing a program in bubblewrap is pretty easy. And of course there are pre-made solutions like firejail.
My personal (but very brief) experience of trying to learn Raku is that most introductory material I came across assumed at least an apprentice-level exposure to Perl concepts and vocabulary.
It’s probably because both MS and Apple actually sell products, hardware and software that used daily and the alternatives aren’t competing much, and then having these “occasional” privacy violations issues, FB/Google on the other hand, having their whole business model about selling your data. But I disagree that they (MS/Apple) get a pass, those are the reasons why some choose to use open source alternatives like linux etc.

I can attest to that, coming from Denmark but living in Germany now. My wife is Thai and the food in southern Thailand can be sickly sweet, but if you travel to northern Thailand they usually leave out the sugar in foods.

Sugar and sweetners are insidious. Once you get used to sweet salads, you won't like normal salads anymore and then one start putting sweetners in every meal. It's surprising how unhealthy a salad can be.

It was specifically made to be a left-wing alternative for reddit back when the admins were beginning to crack down on the leftist subs like r/fullcommunism and the like. Not sure how it could ever serve as a full-on replacement, it never wanted to be.
> The latest crop of "metaverses" are almost all intertwined with blockchain.

Most of the hyped "blockchain" metaverses never went live. All hype and NFT sales, no 3D metaverse at all. Of the few that did go live, Decentraland has 111 users in world right now,[1], Somnium Space has about 1 (yes, one)[2]. Sandbox doesn't have a public counter, but one source says 616 users in Q4 2022.[3] There are people just selling parcels on maps, such as Upland.

Otherside, the world from Bored Ape Yacht Club, has run two live demos for a few hours each, but they're just demos of Improbable's technology with some of their game art.
There was supposed to be a third demo in Q2 2023. We're coming up on the end of Q2 2023.
They raised US$400 million selling land, and the SEC is investigating.

Reality: blockchain based metaverses did not happen.

We need to get off the GitHub and VsCode dependency before LLM tooling makes it too difficult. It's just a matter of time until those business units are integrated into Microsoft's system of perverse incentives.
If people on Twitter say incorrect facts about a group of people, or even start egging people towards violence, there's a lot of pushback against that there.

But if that random person is removed from Twitter and starts seeking out like-minded people, they're going to form some underground community with no pushback against the worst ideas.
This is a hill to avoid dying on.
Observations from a long time fan and game developer:

1. Early on in the trailer, it shows a road segment being drawn across an existing road, with the intersection getting automatically added. This is a big step up from the original road system where every intersection must be placed at the end of a road segment. I imagine this will make it easier to create nice geometric patterns.

2. Some cities shown have surface parking taking up a whole plot. I hope this isn't just cosmetic - allowing more/less parking should really influence the economics and transport methods of each citizen.

3. In the data view mode, bright colors bleed onto the white building models. I suspect there's some dynamic ambient light bounce rendering going on here!

4. It looks like the old method of plot zoning is still around, showing as grid squares along the side of the roads. I would have liked to see non-square parcels that fill up the availible space, but I also understand why square plots would make it easier to fill with pre-made assets.

5. Speaking of pre-made assets, those skyscrapers look really similar and boring. Walk around any modern city with glass towers and you'll see a lot more variation and interesting nuances, while still being relatively performant to render in a game like this. I'm worried they will introduce actual variety via drip-fed dlc assets. Yes, mods can fix that, but you can't beat the visual consistency and performance of decent vanilla resources.

6. Looks like the town hall starts off as a huge parking lot with a small office in the middle, and can be expanded into multiple departments. Looks like a handy mechanic, and especially believable for North American development since a lot of government buildings are like 75% pavement.
It's also the described metaverse evolution in Ready Player One, which is six years older than Fornite. It felt like an obvious and pre-existing idea when Ready Player One was published, so I wouldn't be surprised to hear about older incarnations.

This is the default list used by the pihole project as well; it's a very good list.

FWIW, something like ublock origin is going to be better for in-browser blocking (for example, DNS poisoning won't work with youtube ads, which are served from youtube.com, but addins like UBO can remove them because they can hook into the actual traffic).

The ultimate adblocking solution is to use UBO in your browsers AND spin up a pihole to block ads on your entire network: https://pi-hole.net/

This article and discussions here in the comments motivated me to send off 3 emails to relevant ministers of my provincial government.

When I had my first kid, the environment and what our Earth would look like when she was my age really got to me.

Are USB or PCIe government funded? Are they not standards either?

> if you want tesla to be standard, sure. open it up, get all automakers on board, dont charge royalties, and let’s see.

Didn't Tesla already do those things? (Assuming you meant "some other" instead of "all", because if you didn't, then USB-C wouldn't be a standard either since iPhones don't use it.)
If I were the webmaster of a site which hosted non-public images, this news would be enough for me to either block Edge by its user agent (with an error page explaining the reasoning and alternatives), at least on the pages which contain the images, or omit the images (replacing them with an explanatory message) when the browser is Edge.
In the EU (and EEA), eIDAS distinguishes between

- "electronic signatures", which can be any electronic data used to sign, like a drawn signature
- "advanced electronic signature" (AdES), usually a type of digital signature (XML-DSig, PDF signature, etc.)
- "qualified electronic signature (QES), which is a digital signature created by a certified signature device

QES is legally equivalent to a "wet signature", but in my experience rarely used because of cost. AdES is much more common for high-trust scenarios like loan applications. For low-trust like package delivery, a signature (or smiley) drawn on a touch device will usually do.

> I wonder whether somebody can comment on where GNU/Hurd is being used nowadays.

Simply put: nowhere. It's an experimental kernel with limited hardware support (x86 only, very few device drivers) and a bunch of critical features missing (e.g. no multiprocessor support, no power management).

Spend an hour driving through Canada on the way to the US, cross the border, and drive for another hour, and you will be disabused of that notion.

Something you can do in lots of places.

Americans are OBSESSED with the flag to a degree Canadians are not.

In terms of national symbols, maybe the Maple Leaf is present in a lot of places, but what you fail to remember is that the American equivalent is a "star" - of the "stars and stripes" or the colours red white and blue.

Try to find me an international American symbol (in space or otherwise) that doesn't have a star, a stripe, or red-white-and-blue, and you'll see it's equally ubiquitous for them.

> Pushing cases into the future was always the stated goal of lockdowns. That was what "flatten the curve" meant. The idea was to accept some temporary consequences in order to prevent deaths until vaccines could be made.

The idea we needed to "flatten the curve until a vaccine" was obsolete the day many states closed their completely unused field hospitals. That should have been the indicator that covid wasn't nearly as bad as predicted. That was the day everything should have gone back to complete normal.

These lockdown "experts" never had an end game. They kept pushing the goal posts further and further until they completely lost the plot. That was one of my first objections to such mitigations. There was zero success criteria. Fuckers were just winging it. Which might be okay for some minimally invasive crap like enhanced handwashing protocols but it is absolutely bat-shit insane for something as impacting as lockdowns.

What we did was insane. I still have no idea how people look back, given all the data, and say "yup, what we did made sense". None of it make a single ounce of sense at all...

I use RSS, but for news and such I don't want to follow specific sites, because they just tend to post way too much stuff I don't give two hoots about. I've tried in the past and compared to the articles voted forth on Reddit it just feels like digging for gold in a garbage dump.. Are there any curated feeds? Or even something like a feed based on voting?

> greenhouse gas warming plus various feedbacks will cause extreme weather, render some parts of the world unlivable due to wet bulb temperature, and overwhelm unprepared infrastructure, costing huge amounts of money and creating millions of migrants

This is what I've been trying to tell people for years. Climate change is everyone's concern, if only because entire nations becoming uninhabitable, wars over natural resources (not just oil - now we'll be seeing fighting over arable land and water sources), etc. will cause massive influxes of refugees. Even if many nations did not have a significant split in opinions on migrants, most are still ill-equipped to handle the many millions of climate refugees that will come.

Remember the Syrian migrant crisis? Where people were shouting about "the great replacement" (read: "white genocide") over people fleeing ISIS? That's going to seem like chump change compared to what's coming (and I'd bet good money that new extremist groups will start popping up as conditions deteriorate, governments collapse, etc. - a good chunk of the blame for climate change can be laid at the feet of developed nations, after all, so I would be shocked if no extremist groups decided to take matters into their own hands).

I could write at length about this, but I'll leave it at this: the US is not going to come out of this unscathed. Obviously, sea level rise will lead to coastal flooding, yada yada, but unless American agriculture is forced to be more conservative with its water usage, the aquifers we rely so desperately on for our farmlands will run dry due to over-pumping within this century (and with megadroughts getting worse, our aquifers are recharging far slower than before...this will only get worse as climate change worsens).
Looks great! Silly question, but have you considered ActivityPub integration? I ask because while it may not benefit you directly, these days i'm liking the idea more and more of joining a community if they're in "the fediverse". Which is to say i don't need to worry about the instance being small and isolated, i get benefits of the fediverse regardless of where i am in it.

Ie, i get friction currently when looking at alternatives not in "the verse". Eg Tildes, i have the same concern.
