It's like the situation with Trump. So long as he as alive the Republican party is going to be out of its mind, sidelining conservatives with (at least some) honor like Mike Pence, Mitt Romney and such. So long as Trump is alive we're going to be afraid of a comeback but when it is over it is over.

Because there are advantages and disadvantages to remote and in person work. But one of the biggest advantages to remote work is being able to source from a talent pool that is 50x. By having 1 day a week of in-person you are giving up the single biggest advantage to remote work.
Agreed apart from:

> One advantage of a mobile app over a mobile web site is that you can use the accelerometer

Accelerometer API access has been available on mobile web for ~ a decade. I think it'd actually be more trouble than it's worth to listen for a "tilt" to shift the view and misdirect the user's tap. Most UI's just put the ad dangerously close to an element that's also interactive, or style the ad to look nearly identical to the other content in the feed, like reddit. It's to make you encounter ads and maybe tap on them purposefully or accidentally. They will happily take either.

Agree with your general point, but I think this specific set of rules (maybe besides the function name length thing) read like experience rather than inexperience. I think this is a list of stuff that all seems fine at first, but has eventually burned anyone who has been doing the job long enough.
Wine may still be the way to go. You should check the logs, if you haven't already. If the crash occurs because of missing runtime libraries, the issue might be fixed with Winetricks.

Hm, I do get why people trying to be optimistic always bring up examples from the past to extrapolate that "humanity will always find solutions".
What I don't get is that the same people simply overlook that we're not talking about single symptoms with a simple cause but about a root cause (emitting co2) which is deeply integrated into all our actions and economies and humanity is struggling dealing with that for at least a couple of decades.

We're talking about bringing half a dozen to multiple dozens of networks out of balance that we only halfway understand.
Oh, that kind of Coke!

Now you're talking about in-person meetups where the groups have numerical superiority over some troublemakers and can exercise control over a physical space. That doesn't work on some social media platform where anyone can claim to be a member of your group while acting a fool, and everything happens live.

If some idiots show up with explosives to your peaceful protest you can boot them out before anyone sees them. If some idiots start threatening people while claiming they're with you on the internet, you don't control what they say on their own accounts and you only see them at the same time as the opponents who want to use it as an excuse to ban your group.

This is a solid call out. Part of me wants to keep things private in order to maintain the "user is the customer" alignment. One issue with going public is it then means shareholders become your primary customer, with your users becoming second tier. I'm not quite sure what the answer is.

This also brings me to the question of funding - on one hand, proper funding here would help drastically with launching, on the other hand it comes with expectations and requirements.

Part of the reason why I want paid users though is it means the site can be self-sustaining without that funding, if it can get past the network effect threshold.

Lots to think about.

Exactly. People greatly under appreciate the tremendous job the govt/Fed have pulled.

Also, in response to the GP, we actually had a direct comparison between the “inflationary” economics the US followed and a more conservative approach right after the 2007-2009 financial crisis.

The Fed “printed money”. The EU didn’t. And the U.S. economy grew faster with lower inflation and a stronger dollar than the EU. Several EU countries are still suffering from the non printing austerity policies the EU followed.

Also I’m really struggling to understand the claim that “printing money” has caused massive inflation. I think we can all agree that no entity has “printed” as much money as the US and the Fed have. And still inflation in the U.S. is lower than inflation in the EU or pretty much any other country in the world.

It’s almost as if “money printing” isn’t the primary driver of inflation in the world right now.
I saw a bunch of nays and a lot of “abstains” a lack of vote against something is not a vote of approval.

There was a very poignant message in amongst that mess which to summarize said:

Doing this will stall Postgres development for several versions (read years) and will divert development resources away from features while the devs are busy putting out fires.

Basically Postgres loses 10% performance vs threads[1] because of its Process based model, and leaves a bunch of caching related performance on the table but has the benefit that a process crash doesn’t bring down the entire database.

[1] the 10% figure is mentioned more than once

Personal View: Postgres development stalled in the early/mid 2000s and MySQL rose to prominence (so around V7/V8 time). While there were many people involved, I believe Tom Moor was instrumental in “dragging” Postgres development into V9/V10 land where it really started out-evolving it’s competition, terraforming the landscape for all the features it has now (thanks to every contributor who helped make it what it is today) this proposal while maybe well intentioned has the potential to drag Postgres into a multi year “dark age” of buggy code and perceived lack of progress. To be hyperbolic about it - that could be the start of an extinction event

third party devs have asked Reddit multiple times for an ad endpoint in the API.

The really good move here would’ve been profit sharing on ads between Reddit and third party apps. But heck these devs were fine displaying ads for Reddit for nothing in return.

Reddit didn’t care.
It doesn't seem to do anything other than play word games with what counts as an 'idea' instead of what counts as 'speech'. An attempt to reset the existing case law, philosophy, etc., without facing it head on. Perhaps we need to reconsider if images count as speech. What about algorithms? Is an algorithm an idea? Even if it is an algorithm that generates an image?

The issue I see developing is that any attempt to carve out what is not desired by some group is going to create standards that will let other groups carve out what wasn't intended in the first place. Look at how encryption is under attack and one common way it is attacked is by claims of how it promotes the spread of CSAM. So government asks for reasonable backdoors that will only ever be used to stop such material, yet tech circles realize that any such backdoor will allow for arbitrary power to block any material.

>Maybe it's semantics or whatever but a rights owner can impose restrictions based on conditions

Yes. But what we seem to be going in circles on is that IF the rights holder wants to release the software under an OSI-approved license, they don't get to change that license, which is what you're doing if you want to say the software is only available under that license to some subset of users. Of course, they have the right simply not to use an OSI-approved license at all. But OSI-approved licenses all say you CAN'T impose certain restrictions if you're going to use them.

What they CAN do is to dual license the software under an all rights reserved license and their own "source available" license (for eligible users). So long as an OSI-approved license isn't involved, they can do anything they're legally permitted to. If you want usage restrictions, just don't use an OSI-approved license. It's pretty simple and the result is effectively the same.

They can even just cut and paste the MIT license and add a usage restriction clause. They just can't call it--and it isn't--the MIT license anymore.

Data Reliability vs. Data Quality
There's a point in which you stop reading books as if they were about you, or models that you are expected to imitate, and you think of them as statements by the people that wrote them, at the time that they wrote them, and interesting if you want to understand the times they were written in.

Spoiled children of privilege work at publishers because no one else can afford degrees from the right colleges, then move on to working for free in New York, or being handed the job by a friend of a friend. They have no concept of art that doesn't involve seeing themselves "reflected" in it, and they think "inclusion" is them allowing other types of people to see themselves in art (and they think that they should be praised for this "tolerance" and "celebration" of "identities.")

Real inclusion is having a system that includes people working in it that aren't all from the same flaky class, and with the new addition of queer identities, all of your diversity can consist of wealthy straight white people (there's barely any reason to pretend to be Native American, Hispanic, or black anymore.) Their awful scribbles on the works of their superiors (the significantly less narcissistic privileged white people of the past) age like fish, and their work will be seen by relatively normal people from the future as bowdlerized works are seen now: as birdcage liner.
The CEO denies that reason in an interview 3 days ago. I would provide a link but Reddit is down.
> The self-aggrandizement of activists saying "we represent the actual value-generating members of this site and we are angry" borders on delusion.

If that's the case, then where's all the content from users who aren't angry? Why is the front page filled with protest posts? If it's just self-aggrandizing delusion from a small subset of activists like you seem to be claiming, then surely there must be plenty of other users to generate content.
Indeed, to the point where translations are often known relative to their translator because the translator is often part of what makes a given edition of a work.
I haven't seen anyone that doesn't like the edits give the real reason that they are so upset about the edits. If the edits were politically slanted in a different direction, the edit-opposers would only oppose edits on principle. "Why, of course I don't support changing words in old works to make the work conform to modern standards, don't be ridiculous." But the edit-opposers are angry because the edits are clearly the work of modern western hyper-progressives, who are simultaneously trying to retain the conquests and achievements of the Old World while erasing any moral belief left over from the Old World.

I do not wish to see society remade by the vision of the modern western progressive, and so I don't want progressive edits to books I loved as a child.

Edit: Editing books allows progressives to simultaneously avoid the label of "book banning", which they at least claim to detest, while also constructing an incorrect image of the people of the past to aid in the moral instruction of modern children. It is the same story, over and over again, whether it's communists or religious people: "you cannot have access to information that contradicts the moral worldview we wish you to have. This is for your own safety and for the good of your fellow man."

I wouldn’t accept that deal. Honestly the headache of that seems not worth the money.

I’d be making enough money to live and not worry. I’d have enough saved for my kids to get a pretty nice jump start too.

My great great great grandkids? I don’t care. Heck I can’t predict next week. Having that much money could end up having them get killed in a future revolution.
To be honest I don't know the actual FOV number. It feels better than some VR headsets I've tried and on par with others. The lenses are definitely a more exotic shape than the ones on my Vive so they're able to get closer to your eyes and have better quality in all areas of the FOV. I feel like for work stuff and entertainment it's definitely good enough, though you might struggle living in it full time haha.
There's a whole generation of games from the mid to late 90s (and perhaps into the early 00s) that's remarkably annoying to play these days because of this issue. The game I've personally tried to get running, every once in a while, is Mechwarrior 3, but it's a complete disaster. The last time I tried to run it, I actually managed to load into the first mission, but the in-game physics were remarkably broken, with the amusing result where the first enemies you face in the game (a couple of little tanks) drove up towards me, hit a little bump, and then immediately rocketed into the sky.

At least part of the issue is that the game uses multiple threads, but was designed for systems with a single CPU, with a clock speed that's considerably slower than is present in modern systems. Something about this difference in timing breaks the whole thing in ways which are diverse and inexplicable.

Now, this comment thread contains plenty of possible solutions I could attempt, but if it's really a matter of the game relying on something like the CPU speeds of contemporary hardware (not to mention contemporary graphics hardware) then I start to think that I'd need to track down some kind of Pentium 3-era gaming PC to really make it work.
Just go with Perl, IMO. Raku is completely separate, and would be more akin to learning Ruby or Elixir to get the Perl experience IMO.
In most places, if there are witnesses to a contractual obligation being established or contract being performed, even a verbal agreement can be sufficient.

It mostly depends on how quickly courts will do the proceedings to establish that it is or isn't so.
> I want a site that rewards quality, not view counts.

That's what the objective of the site is. Viewing doesn't reward anything (whereas views do reward in the video you just linked). My hope as well is that for nonio, knowing you're contributing a share of your monthly pool will make people more conscientious about what they upvote, thus improving quality.
Using a CDN is actually the opposite of overengineering. Using a CDN is an easy, low cost way to outsource any performance concerns. Overengineering is trying to handle all the potential performance issues yourself, with custom caching, database indexes, code optimization, better hardware, etc. For many sites it is simply an insurance policy. Most drivers don't need auto insurance, until that one day you do.
What I am seeing is that AMP-like technology lets you incorporate readers into social platforms or document classifiers to make very interesting applications. Granted you used to be able to make things like Stumbleupon with <iframe>s but note you were always free to write AMP consumers but I've only seen people really try it recently. If you quit hating on it you might realize it's a way to reverse ten years of enshittification of news sites.
I was reading about dowery/dower/brideprices in the past week, mostly on wikipedia but chased a few links. There is a very interesting hypothesis about the origins of these practices in prehistoric human cultures.

in hoe-based agriculture, which tended to predominate in mobile/migratory cultures, farming was "women's work"

in plough-based agriculture, which tended to predominate where people were stationary and land was "owned", farming was "men's work"

Where women did agricultural work, a brideprice was paid, as per the theory, because a women's productive output was valuable.

Where men did agricultural work, a bride was expected to bring a dowery, paid as a transfer from her family's land-based wealth.

I find it interesting how very rough "logic" from many thousand years ago would continue to affect us today.

You have a very unimaginative and one dimensional view of chaos tbh.
Yes they did. Because they do not care about a good browser engine product. They care about selling services on top of that. So whether it's Chromium or something else entirely, they don't care. They went with what had the most external developers working on it because again, they do not care about the engine.

>So they should start small and slowly build up the artificial complexity that accumulated over decades in incubent browsers until it reaches feature parity?

No, they should find a new angle. What are they building a browser engine for? To go back to the burger example, you cannot compete with McDonalds by trying to do everything they do. Everyone understands this about general products, you can't compete with Apple by making an iPhone clone. You can't compete with Marvel by making funny light hearted hero movies. Yet, when it comes to browser engines people short circuit.

Do you know about Steam? The video game launcher/store. This store is so successful that it's spawned many competitors who struggle to compete. Why is this? Because they do not want to change the status quo too much, they just want their company to be where Steam is. So they spend so much time and money trying to add features Steam has had for years now, all while people refuse to budge because "why use a steam clone that's worse?" Sound familiar?

This is the current problem with browser engines. Everyone just wants to be Chrome, to have Chrome's userbase, but they don't want to actually think about a product. They don't want to find a niche, or make people rethink what a browser should be/do.

Therefore, it's not a problem that people keep failing to be Chrome. I say good riddance. We don't need a Chrome alternative; we need something else entirely.
A really great idea. Love that as well. I've also considered adding a threshold for payouts (i.e. $50 withdrawal minimum) to help with the reporting aspects.
I did actually, but it gave a massive amount of errors so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ it seems like I don’t miss it that much.

>You seem to think it's very important this bullet point is last

I think it's important to know that there are five other threats listed, all of them having to do with destruction of habitat.

That's to drive the point home that destruction of habitat has a much higher impact than anything else - including predators.

>There is nothing in the source that suggests items are listed in order of importance.

The content of the bullet points suggests that. They are listed in the order of impact on habitats.

The bullet point following the "predation" bullet point is "future possible threats".

>Why are you reading tea leaves when the authors say, explicitly and repeatedly, that cats are a serious threat?

Because the authorities don't provide any hard data on that.

But let's not read tea leaves, indeed. The most important point is that the gap between cats, in general, may be a threat to Google's specific cats are a threat has never been filled.

It's solid logic:

- Some cats threaten owls

- The animals fed by gCat TNR volunteers are cats

- Therefore, gCat threatens owls

Do you see a problem here?

This has been strike busting 101 since time immemorial. *The whole point* of a strike is to prove how much of a company will fall apart with out labour. It makes management liable for the impending break down because the strikers/union will have made a very public list of demands and reasons for the strike, so it’s on management to figure something out. Resolving problems with concrete decisions is their job after all, like you said about contracts.

However if management leaves it as long as possible so the public gets a taste of the breakdown, they can try and lean public sentiment towards them, painting the workers as “causing” the problem. It’s not their ineffectiveness in resolving a dispute that caused it, it’s those workers who don’t have any respect for the economy/consumers/YOU!

CNN is reporting the news here, this WILL seriously affect things, but they’ve taken the angle that UPS corporate was hoping for.
