It gets even tougher if your conference or convention does NOT target a business audience (who often can just expense a $500 ticket). For general interest or hobby conferences, you are much more money limited while the costs of venues remain just as high.

It is possible to kickstart conferences, but hard. One that has been going for several years is a bit more of a high-end conference retreat: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/wargamergirl/valhalla-i...

I have no control over what you think, but I'm happy to share thoughts given you've opened the door.

What you saw as a super minimal aggregator that exposed fun stuff, I saw as a little known URL domain of unknown provinance making bald statements indistinguishable from others of that ilk "Earth tilts | Pole Shifts | Sea level rises | Lab leaks | Fake News".

The guts of the story is in the details, the context, the methodology, etc.

If I wanted snappy clickbait titles with minimal content I'd stick with Fox News .. but I'm from the country of origin of Murdoch and he left due to widescale community pushback on his plans to dominate media and dumb down information (although he retains a toehold here with Sky News and a few newspapers).

You seem like a communicative well intentioned contributor, I bear you no ill will and look forward to your future submissions, ideally ones with substance.
There's a solution to everything /s We started with a somewhat simple problem and now let's keep throwing things in. How about something I can just curl? Is that too much to ask?
Seems like victim blaming like “why was wearing such a short skirt”. It’s not against the law to carry cash.
I don’t think they’ve broken new ground in terms of resolution (compared to Pimax) and refresh rate (12ms is a bit less than 90Hz, which is equivalent to Quest Pro and worse than Quest 2 in dev mode).

I think they might want to avoid these spec-to-spec comparisons because other aspects of implementation can give a better UX (like software in iOS compared to Android). Though, until we see the hardware, it will be difficult to say whether they can pull more out of current industry-leading specs than others.
Frankly, you really should be fixing and cleaning the tags with a program like tiny media manager or the like. It improves the user experience vastly, from having cover art, background/preview art, plot overviews, actor / studio lists, and clean, consistent file/folder names.

It's a very fast and easy process, I was able to complete the task for 2tb of files in an hour or two, and that's because I was being thorough. It makes the experience close to netflix in terms of quality (in several ways better even). Jellyfin's default behavior of interpreting file names is fine as it is, but clean file names is truly the more bespoke solution.
"You Get What You Measure" means you have to be smart about what metrics you pick.

Instead, we've got a lot of really stupid, but "easy to track" metrics. Today's top-line is easy to track, how much you've burnt through customer goodwill for tomorrow isn't.

You also see a lot of metrics engineered to be gamed. NPS probably meant something in some early original use case, but it's turned into the universal consensus that we're not allowed to actually say "I only got 4.5 star service" out of fear the $10-per-hour schlub giving us that service will be punished for things outside his control.

I wonder-- we know what theoretical research for things in CS and IT look like, but are the "academic" sides of business schools trying to come up with better metrics?
I always chuckle when I hear boomers reminiscence about how we differentiate from communist countries because of our strong private property protections.

I fail to see a difference aside from shared willingness to for random state actors to play along with that shared desire.
We need more debate not less. Why is hiding from debate acceptable these days? Sometimes we need to face and think critically about alternate points of view and this cannot happen if people in the spotlight and candidates for office are allowed to hide from debate.
Nobody is saying that they don’t make mistakes but the reason we remembered the butterfly keyboard is that it was a rare high-profile mistake. It seems reasonable to bet that this will be like one of the many thousands of decisions they’ve made well rather than the few memorable failures.

> why carry that much cash with you?

Because I am a citizen of this allegedly free country and I just might want to!
While the cited behaviour is really astonishing, as a EU citizen, I must say that I still find it very curious that somebody drives around the country with that large amount of cash. I'd never (and most people here wouldn't either) travel with more than, say, $1000 in cash, and I would rely on ATM/electronic transactions/checks for additional money.

Surely it wouldn't be illegal in any EU country that I know of (but in some countries there's a maximum allowed amount of cash you can use in any single transaction, something between EUR 1000 and 3000), but just any law enforcement would find such an amount of cash suspicious, and probably trigger an investigation.
The comment about Netflix was suppposed to be a hyperbole.

I would be curious how Netflix itself justifies this except for: we wanted to do this cool thing, so why the fuck not
Other commenter got it wrong. There are multiple dialects/languages (eg Gallego, Catalan) spoken in Spain that aren’t really common in the new world, the new world dialects are mostly based on the Castilian (castellano) dialect which was and is the prestige/official Spanish dialect promoted by the government and which settlers likely had in common.

In other words, “Español”could be thought of as a group of Spanish languages with “Castellano” being a distinct language within that group.
I experimented with the struct because I was too lazy to do the iota keys. It works but it can be a foot gun. We have multiple strongly typed contexts (again one example would be anonymous vs logged in context) and with the struct approach, it’s easy to get in a situation where you lose one of your values by passing the context through a layer that doesn’t know about your types.

I still think these gotchas are indicative of issues in the codebase rather than the struct or the typed context. They only come up in the hairiest parts of the code.
Do they have warrants to search to vehicles, or do they trick people into agreeing to the search? Or maybe they have a dog that does something like breathe near the vehicle, which is clearly cause for suspicion (\s)?
Responding to a post asking for a reduction in hyperbole with even worse hyperbole is also “grimly hilarious”, I guess.
Awesome, just ordered! Thanks for sharing.

Why should I not have cash on hand?

I just redid my deck and fence. I paid Time+Materials. Guy brought me the materials and the receipts, I paid cash for the materials upfront. That was $35k in materials, in several $10k chunks. This happens all the time in the real world. The guy does several jobs at a time. My wife was concerned about us having that much cash in our safe. This contractor is doing it all the time probbably 5x that amount and it's all legal.

Bought several cars over the years, in cash. Why would I do a cashieres check? Who would take it except where a bank instantly validates it. Did the title transfer at the dmv, seller got cash so knew he wasn't getting screwed, DMV moved the title right there and validates it all so I knew I wasn't getting screwed. Those were $~15k each. Motorcycle? $8k cash.
>In 2016, Garrett led an effort to change Nebraska’s forfeiture laws. The bill, when passed, led state senators and civil liberties advocates to believe they had abolished state civil asset forfeiture.

>The 2016 law was designed to require a criminal conviction before the state could seize money, according to the bill’s statement of intent.

>But the Legislature left two loopholes. Seizures over $25,000 could circumvent state law entirely by being adopted into federal court.

>And law enforcement could still seize assets under state law if evidence connected the cash to drugs – even if there are no drugs in the car.

Because law enforcement is determined to steal people's money.
> Why is this still happening?

Because nationally its been upheld as constitutional and would require a constitutional amendment.

This interpretation of the sixth amendment isn't open to other interpretations. Specifically that civil cases are different than criminal cases, so they civilly charge the asset itself and the not the human being. Whoops.

Subsequently, some states started changing their own laws to stop the practice in their state, including the state in this article but it didn't work.

Obviously if they started seizing bank branches under probably cause of criminal activity, it would change overnight, but nobody wants a real challenge so they don't.

I've also noticed this, and want to ask: who are these people? Do they not have (~80-billion-neuron) brains? (And that's neurons, with by most estimates thousands of synapses each; so you're actually talking on the order of tens to hundreds of trillions of neural network parameters before you reach parity with biological examples.)
The problem is y'all keep trying to run last century's playbook.

Relationships are no longer transactional. The age of the breadwinner and provider are over. Women are no longer forced to stay home while you toil in the mines or whatever. You're optional.

Very few of the victims are criminals.

> One more data point supports this contention: At the federal level, at least, "the vast majority of forfeiture victims are never convicted or charged with a crime," according to Carpenter. Using data obtained via FOIA requests, Carpenter found that 87 percent of federal forfeiture proceedings were civil cases, not criminal ones. "It's troubling that 87% of the time the conviction appears to be irrelevant," co-author Lisa Knepper said.
Binance.us Reaches Agreement with SEC to Avoid Full Asset Freeze
As a Canadian I’ve wondered stuff like that too. What I think I’ve learned is that Americans can be deeply principled people. Beyond reasons like “I’m buying a used car” or “yes this is drug money” there’s also the reason of, “I’m doing it because it’s my right to.” And I’ve met many Americans who do things for no personal gain other than just to keep their rights exercised.

I used to scoff at this kind of thing. But I think I’m slowly learning some of the inner mechanics of American Liberty.

As much as I disagree with the OP, this is just as naive. What we enjoy about our modern lives in Western societies is a productive mixed-market economy. The "pure capitalism" argument is just as naive as to pretend it's failed with no redeeming features (which itself, is fallacious because the critics propose no alternative they care to describe - but pointing out a problem with the current system doesn't mean anything if you can't raise a reasonable alternative).
> At this phase we have to talk both to the business and to developers. Only talking to developers isn’t savvy or smart. AWS etc do the same thing.

AWS does it well for both, may be learn from them. Twilio outbound communication has turned completely undecipherable (too much marketspeak) for both business and developers. The billboards in Miguel's blog post sums up the stark contrast very well. There need to be a balance.

Just an anecdotal data point, recently a company was interested in integrating internet voice calling systems, having used Twilio about 8 years ago, I suggested them to check out Twilio. The company mentioned they couldn't figure what Twilio does and doesn't and in the end went with the solution being pushed by local Telco.

It's not bad that your desires are influenced by what others want (it's inevitable, we're social animals), but understanding how those influences work is part of understanding your desires and what's behind them.

My hope with stories like this is broader awareness and understanding of the deep systemic flaws in the U.S. as a State. In so many areas, the amassed institutional power far exceeds the popular will to challenge it in any serious, effective capacity, the sheer number of such examples a shotgun effect discouraging resistance.

I’d like to dream that it would become fairly obvious to the majority that these institutions simply are not under actual popular control, have no true accountability, and are in baldfaced defiance of the country’s founding principles and Constitution. I have yet to hear any convincing argument that this assessment is wrong, so hopefully the number of Americans who agree will someday reach a critical mass.
Until federal courts put a stop to this insanity, I think congress should pass a bill that cuts off Federal Highway funding to any state that allows this sort of thing to happen.
> On the other hand, what you are proposing is that we should boycott the software because of the personal views of the people creating it

I don't agree with "boycott" as a framing.

None of us have infinite time to contribute to open source projects – so we all have to pick and choose which projects to get involved in.

How do you decide? There are many relevant factors – interests, technical factors, career prospects, among many others – but the community is also an issue. If the culture of the community around an open source project puts you off, that's going to discourage you from getting involved in it.

The stuff I hear about the developers of Lemmy (and Mastodon too) – that they are dominated by people who are very political and hard-left – it doesn't make it sound like a welcoming community for someone who doesn't share those politics. Why bother getting involved when there are other projects with a culture I'd experience as more welcoming? That's not a "boycott", that's just rational decision-making. And if enough other people feel the same way, those projects will suffer for it – and maybe, at some point, someone will create a less political fork, and some people who are put-off by the culture of those projects might be willing to contribute to that fork instead.
Because there’s a lot of them. Logging, MQ messages, database connection, emails, S3. If we want to limit which of these are available to the code, we do so using a strongly typed context. (For example a ReadOnlyContext)

The only use of dependency injection for us is testing. Our test fixtures have to provide both request-scoped info (user ID etc.) and mocks for IO. It makes sense to do that all in one object.
Not only did I not say anything about legality, I did not even say scraping is “bad”, just that it often is.
It’s not just marketing but also confusing our preferences with the market as a whole. For example, AirPods are not as good as my over ear headphones … but they’re impressively close and the AR features are quite effective. Based on flat sales for traditional headphones and huge sales for AirPods, they clearly targeted the much larger group who don’t value audio quality more than everything else.
> ... but the's what happens when you have a low population state with a major thoroughfare.

Well, not really - that's what happens when you don't fully fund your law enforcement at a state or federal level and instead leave them to fund themselves through fines and seizures. Local authorities shouldn't be allowed to keep a single penny of anything they seize or any fines they rack up. They should be fully funded by higher-level authorities based on demonstrated need. The current setup is rife with obvious moral hazard.
I've been learning SwiftUI for MacOS to explore the plausibility of a particular idea I had, and I do think there's some truth in this. So far, I've found it best to seek out more robust, somewhat complete examples that use a particular API in a more realistic context, as well as many other discrete tidbits of information wherever they may be found.

In this case, that's the hackingwithswift blog posts, the hackingwithswift youtube tutorials that follow the blog posts, swiftbysundell, and a number of other independent developers that have fairly lengthy but digestible detailed tutorials on specific APIs; using all of it feels a little like the process of getting a fingerprint registered on a new phone, where you get decent coverage and breadth quickly but then fill in the gaps.

However, I don't think this is unique to WWDC or swift or iOS, it's just that those platforms typically demand only the newest versions of iOS or macOS or even unreleased hardware to get much value out of them, so I can't imagine you'd be implementing them any time shortly-thereafter.
It’s literally highway robbery.
If you read the article you'd see just the opposite. People without any actual charge, or any actual evidence, who have had the state supreme court in Nebraska still side with 'law enforcement'. Because that is modern day policing. Hell, there was a Supreme Court case that sided with law enforcement that they have -no obligation- to protect citizens. It's why you get stuff like Uvalde. The police exist solely to enforce state authority, not to serve and protect.
