Yeah. Though if one is loose with the word "algorithm" one can count an advanced machine learning model (a few years from now) as such an algorithm. It wouldn't be able to prove or disprove every given first-order statement, but perhaps the vast majority below a certain length. Maybe it could decide every conjecture we are interested in.
> In a nutshell, Framed is a nifty tool that simplifies project management by organizing and managing files and directories effortlessly. With YAML templates and a built-in test command, it keeps your project structure in sync and consistent. It’s flexible, allowing you to customize the layout to fit your needs, and it plays well with Docker. Easy to install and use, Framed helps you stay focused on coding instead of file management. Give it a try and say goodbye to project organization headaches!

It looks very nice, and you have a great logo, but even after reading all the lengthy ChatGPT-written docs, I'm still struggling to wrap my head around what exactly it is, how it works (technically, like what does it even do -- does it include/exclude files in a final project, is it a build tool?), and why I want it.
> smartphone use has proliferated and 4G networks have improved across Afghanistan with the end of the U.S.-led war.

This is the definition of a Co-op. The model has been reasonably successful in some cases. There are co-ops with >$10B annual revenues, although it took them half a century of steady solid business to get there.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mondragon_Corporation

The main issue is that such companies do not attract large investment, so they cannot really take advantage of modern capital markets. It would lead to slower productivity growth, with fewer crisis, maybe that's better, maybe not. But co-ops are not immune to spectacular failures either (see Fagor).

The do not attract large investment, but they can also be an effective solution to a lack of capital. Mondragon (linked above) was a collective grassroots venture in post-war isolated Spain, were regular workers got together to bootstrap employment for themselves. Oddly enough, led by a young Catholic priest.

It doesn't really fit cleanly into the Capitalism vs Communism worldview. On the one hand, it is definitely about collectivism and labour rights. On the other hand, a co-op is a lot like a modern neo-liberal startup, just with a large and flexible group of founders, where the shareholders and the most productive workers are one and the same.

Again, the piece that doesn't fit nicely: investors. That's the main weakness. Bootstrapped by design. Successful members of society cannot help others accelerate their ventures. They just use their wealth to aggressively consume, or just save a lot. Neither of which is great for efficiently improving the world.

Hard to tell if this is a better model, might be slow but sustainable. The promise of equitably distributed rewards (as in Communism), while still having individual incentives for productivity (as in Capitalism), is rather attractive conceptually at least.
I've been happily using jellyfin for awhile now. Overall it works great. It has a few issues that I would like to see implemented/fixed:

- No offline downloading on iPad

- The official Apple TV app logs me out of my server every day

- Using the native player on the Apple TV app is still experimental and can have issues

- No intro skip
I love git annex so much. Solves all of the difficult parts of data archival for me (but boy, what a learning curve, even if decent at git). Joey Hess is a legend for building it.
It’s funny to me that you write this down and not be reflective about your own claims.

I don’t buy the quasi-scientific part about evolutionary reasons.

Ad for that matter, I don’t even buy your first claim, that people don’t want to think independently.

But it doesn’t matter in the end, the whole point of the article - to me at least - is that it’s a good thing to always take the time and at least understand the reasons for choices, and challenge them if it makes sense to do so.

If I allow myself a wild stab at things, I think it’s more that people are “trusting” by nature and assume that things are well thought-out, which the article points out.
The nuclear winter stuff is probably undersold if anything - nuclear testing in deserts and coral atolls aren’t the same as a nuclear exchange. Wildfires have had obvious and significant impacts on cities like SFO and NYC. The Mordor like conditions of smoke and haze with active nuclear materials, plastic, etc will be devastating. Guys who worked the 9/11 pile are still dying of nasty cancers and other conditions - imagine the world after 1000x the scale of 9/11 destruction.

I think one of the reasons why the nuclear strategy is what it is is around compliance. I don’t think a sustained long term nuclear exchange could go on without mutiny. It’s critical to launch everything before the capability gets destroyed or the guy in the silos refuse to act.
Great! PWA, the world needs more PWA.
Yeah, I feel like a lot of hating on Jira is just hating on bug management in general – it’s hard to know what things to work on, to deduplicate bugs, to track when they’re fixed, etc. That said, I do find Jira’s implementation pretty painful. Mostly I dislike that it is all a little bit janky/slow/inconsistent, and that it has a million features and possible ways to use it. But I’ve only used an old version and maybe the newer versions are better.

See also: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31813957 (I noticed shortcut and linear being popularish alternatives there) and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25212441 which I always think of when Jira is discussed.
The single letter variable is only supposed to be used within a relatively short function or code block. They should be relatively obvious; I personally find this to work well, but I can understand where sometimes it wouldn't be clear what the author was referring to.
>I don't understand why would a person have a right to see something and remember it, but not record it

Perhaps because you miss the notion of quantitative and qualitative difference.
One of the things we struggle with is cross repo consistency. Take something like labels. They apply at the repo level and not the project level, so when you add issues from multiple repos, managing labels becomes an administrative task.

View creation is confusing and painful, due to the flexibility (which used to be a common complaint about Jira until they removed the many hundreds of options). People struggle to understand what comma does in the label list vs a space with a new label key/value.

Workflows are also per project and have to be replicated for every project and there's no global default template you can define.

Dependencies are non existent, so order of operations can't be defined in a way that's meaningful. You can order tasks but not indicate "dependency a is not complete and you may move on" in a simple way.

Task lists can't be reordered without editing the markup, which is finicky. If there's a newline it doesn't like, it errors. If there's a character wrong, it errors. Sometimes it just errors and you have to delete the whole thing and recreate it from scratch for it to render again.

There's no "move to top" or "move to bottom," which is necessary when you have long lista of items.

It's improving and if everything is a code, it's probably fine but when you're doing projects, some things are just tasks and it's not well suited for that, in my opinion.

I'm sure it will improve (as of last week you can limit WIP and export views as a CSV) but it feels so much like it's catching up, slowly, that I don't see it ever becoming a "good" alternative to systems that already exist.

I could list more but I'd have to look at my computer and there is already enough here that I'm just pulling from memory.

Decrypting implies a message sent to the real owner of the domain (using their public key) being intercepted and decoded. If that's the case then no, once you have encrypted a message with a public key (or more realistically exchanged a symmetric key using the public key) that message is as safe as it can be

With BGP hijacking you could intercept the traffic from the real website, but you still need a valid certificate which is signed (indirectly) by a trusted CA, meaning the attacker would need to add their root CA to the list on the user device
I use AirPods Pro for hours every single weekday in meetings and have never had a single complaint about quality. Never any pairing issues, and I frequently move between my work MBP, personal iPhone, and personal MBP. They switch flawlessly.

I do notice that the cheapo company supplied headsets sound scratchy when others use them over personal AirPods.

Funny how we have exact opposite experiences.

A tree is a subtype of a graph, but it is not the same as a DAG. A diamond-shaped directed graph (edges A->B, A->C, B->D, C->D) is a DAG, but not a tree.
How would the attacker get their CA cert into the trusted certificate store of the clients?
Yeah, there are probably ways to mostly get it back to what it once was. The problem really is that a) these ways weren't obvious to me at the time, and b) I don't trust Plex to keep those ways. Enshittification is sadly a one-way street.

If Plex kept my content frond-and-center and added useful features on top (e.g. Prime Videos additional information while pausing) I could even have seen myself subscribing to their service. But making the software annoying to use for its main purpose ensures I'll never spend a cent on it.

Companies wouldn’t hire people in that case, they would just use contractors, which would be a worse state of affairs.
Here we go again. After Trump was voted in and the first anti-"hate speech" wave came, activists and media around the world were trying to use this argument to get large companies to stop advertising on platforms or news sites that allowed or published "hateful content" using these types of screenshots. I remember because we had to blacklist certain sites after the activists pestered our company's CEO (this isn't even in the US). Even now we still have left wingers inside our company calling for our marketing dept to stop advertising on Twitter. The goal here is clear: Drive any person or company into financial ruin if they disagree with leftist views.
I have a great weakness for deformable terrain and deep simulation. It is always this huge letdown when a so called triple A game has nether.They have incredible graphics but the graphics are so depressingly shallow. no damage to the environment clear monsters as fast as possible(it is petty of me, but this bugged me more than it should have about doom 2016, amazing game, great gameplay but how can I be knee deep in the dead if you don't keep the dead around). This is getting better, especially in indie games.

On that note I recommend deep rock galactic. More deformable terrain than you can shake a stick at, pretty great game play as well, if you don't mind the short form mission structure.
the full win would also include 2 instances of readarr, once for ebooks and one for audio books, whisparr for your 18+ needs, stash for your 18+ needs frontend, and I think audiobookshelf and kavita to play the audiobooks and ebooks respectively.

> doesn't make a religion a genetic trait

Yeah and I never said the religion was a genetic trait. There are ethnic Jews who don't practice the Jewish religion, and there are practicing Jews who aren't part of the "classical" Jewish ethnic groups (Ashkenazi, Sephardic, and so on). "Who is a Jew" is a big and complicated enough question that it has its own Wikipedia article. "Jewish" does not just mean religion. I don't see how knowing these basic things has anything to do with "antisemitism".

> what's the exact gene sequence identified as being "Jewish" between those groups you mentioned?

There's no exact gene that is dispositive. Human ethnic groups aren't genetically divergent enough for that. But there are alleles that are more or less common across groups.

You might have some SNP that's 70% prevalent in group A, and 40% prevalent in group B, and 10% prevalent in group C. That SNP alone isn't enough to tell you what group someone belongs to. But there are millions of SNPs, each of which has its own frequency distribution. There is structure within all that variation. When you aggregate that information you get a pretty strong signal, enough to reliably cluster the genotypes, and those clusters correspond with identifiable ethnic groups. You can estimate how much Jewish ancestry someone has, or indeed how much ancestry from any ethnic group that we have enough data for.

So, there is no "Jewish gene" (or "Chinese gene" or "Scottish gene"), but ethnic Jews are nevertheless genetically identifiable, from having higher or lower probabilities of having many different genetic variants. And this is not some academic matter, it is very important for human health. There are a few genetic disorders that, while not exclusively found in Jews, are unusually common among them. For example, Tay-Sachs disease:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tay%E2%80%93Sachs_disease

For decades now, there have been Tay-Sachs genetic screening programmes among Jewish communities. This reduces the probability of two recessive carriers marrying one another. It has been very successful:

>Screening for Tay–Sachs carriers was one of the first great successes of the emerging field of genetic counseling and diagnosis. Proactive testing has been quite effective in eliminating Tay–Sachs occurrence among Ashkenazi Jews, both in Israel and in the diaspora.[13] In 2000, Michael Kaback reported that in the United States and Canada, the incidence of TSD in the Jewish population had declined by more than 90% since the advent of genetic screening.[14] On January 18, 2005, the Israeli English language daily Haaretz reported that as a "Jewish disease" Tay–Sachs had almost been eradicated. Of the 10 babies born with Tay–Sachs in North America in 2003, none had been born to Jewish families. In Israel, only one child was born with Tay–Sachs in 2003, and preliminary results from early 2005 indicated that none were born with the disease in 2004.[15]

Would you describe this as "stupid eugenics crap"?
I use Plex Server + Lifetime pass + Infuse. It is an excellent combination and has none of those issues. I point Infuse at Plex for TV shows to get the intro skip. For movies, I point Infuse at an NFS share since Infuse can handle more media types than Plex.

This article is bizarre.

> He Went After Crypto Companies

This makes it sound like he wasn't acting on behalf of a crypto company. Roche stated he owns 0.01% of all AVAX, see https://d33wubrfki0l68.cloudfront.net/96d2fbedbfb4ac619f2656....

> Months passed. Then, one day last summer, Mr. Roche’s world detonated. A website called Crypto Leaks posted two dozen videos of him that had been secretly recorded during his meetings with Mr. Villavicencio and Mr. Ager-Hanssen.

> The videos portrayed Mr. Roche and his law firm, Roche Freedman, as being in the pocket of one of their crypto clients. In one clip, Mr. Roche revealed that the client, a company called Ava Labs, had granted him tens of millions of dollars’ worth of its digital tokens, making him beholden to the company and its founder, whom he likened to a “brother.”

> In other clips, Mr. Roche made it sound like his sole concern, even when representing other clients, was to promote Ava Labs’ interests. He bragged that he had managed to distract regulators from looking into Ava Labs and suggested that his lawsuits against other crypto companies were designed to harm Ava Labs’ competitors.

It sounds like Mr Roche actually said those things (edit: he did: see the videos) and is claiming someone gave him some kind of 'truth serum'.

No doubt there's creeps in crypto - Coffeezilla had his family threatened after his most recent expose - but this guy sounds like he said too much and regrets it.

Thank you!

Not a bad idea to write a post about SKID because everyone misunderstands it! It does not reliably identify a key, since CAs are allowed to derive it however they want. If you want to find other certificates using the same key, you should ignore the SKID entirely and instead search based on the hash of the SubjectPublicKeyInfo. (In fact, starting September 15, inclusion of the SKID in website certificates will be NOT RECOMMENDED.)
It’s nothing of the sort. It’s the kind of reply you’d get if you tried to answer a exam question with nonsense words that doesn’t advance the conversation, at least intellectually. Your claim of toxic masculinity is absurd. People want to talk rationally and it can be very frustrating to have nonsense smeared all over a thread.
You covered most of my complaints. It’s really, really bad, and the pace of progress is really slow.

Better is subjective. It's less flexible now and it's not perfect. It has arbitrary constraints that make things hard (no cross Jira project tracking, wtf?) but it's as good as anything else and it's familiar.
> You've stated a lot of ways to delete commits that I don't see as "regular" (gc, changing default expire date, filter, reflog, ...).

If reflog is not regular then by your own set of constraints you’ve “deleted” a commit the moment it’s unreachable from any regular branch or stash - which is what most people think when they say “deleted.”
Deleting a line of code or a paragraph of text is still deleting even if I can undo it through the very system we’re discussing.

I don’t actually think gc is germane but it was to drive home the point that there’s nothing like cryptographic signatures or something that make objects undisposable.

Further a force push after rebase is destructive because there is no reflog on a remote bare repo.

The corollary is that force pushing deletes commits that are impossible to recover with any “regular” git command.

> That's actually a pretty important thing to know both pedagogically and practically, as it makes it trivial to undo a rebase.

Then just simply say things can be undone with the reflog.

> What I mean by change in this context is that I can take a graph and alter the existing commits (change order, move, change the content, etc.), and that's not what happens with a rebase for example.

> It's important to state which of those one is talking about.

Why?

> But I also understand that from a different perspective - viewing the branch as the pointer + the commits it reaches

I don’t understand what is “different” about this perspective, a branch is literally the pointer. A commit object is not a branch.

> moving a branch does not "change" the history (= the commit graph).

It will point to an entirely new commit graph. This is a change. The commit graph you refer to may very well be orphaned (ie deleted) at this point.
