For a while, I followed the Holderness family on YouTube. They are an amusing North Carolina family of four who had a breakout hit when they dressed in matching pajamas and sang a Christmas song.

For a long time, their two young children were featured in all their videos, acting, engaging and interacting as a family.

Perhaps a year ago, first their daughter and then their son vanished from the videos, without much explanation. And I think that it sort of dawned on them that people may have viewed it as exploitative or unwholesome that their children had become, essentially, employees without much of a choice in the matter.

So while I miss their witty presence in the videos, I do commend the family on doing the right thing and letting their children be kids, off-camera, and perhaps when they come to adulthood, they can make a free choice to rejoin the comedy skits and music videos.

Yeah, I’ve always bought AMD for this reason since some really bad experiences with Nvidia cards.
Whoah! Haven't had one yet. Saving that until I make a lot more money! :)

But on a more affordable level I recommend checking out https://www.cognac-expert.com. They do have the incredibly expensive stuff, but at a also a reasonable-price range that goes well beyond the standard Remy, Hennessy, etc. VSOP or even XO. A world to explore!

Not really just regex, I called it that for brevity. uBlock Origin's cosmetic filters, in particular :has-text which does indeed support regex.

It's basically CSS selectors, but with some very powerful ones added in too.

Check the docs for details https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Procedural-cosmetic-f...

The particular filters I use include things like:

! Kills "You won't believe something useless! Some subtitle"
youtube.com##ytd-rich-item-renderer:has-text(/you won'?t .*!( .*)?/i)

! Kills "100 idiotic life hacks that are definite safety hazards!"
youtube.com##ytd-rich-item-renderer:has-text(/(\d+) (.+)s/i)

And a bunch more more specific to my interests and native language, but I hope you got the gist of it.

Also look at the sibling comment about other distraction-removals like shorts and engagement callout taming.
Correct - but that wouldn't make for a shareable viral article about privacy, because that's what almost every normal adult in the developed world believes and is totally normal.
Better to just screen the call, if they think your number is a lead they will not only repeatedly call but they'll probably also sell your number to others so they also repeatedly call. The phone system is effectively broken, if you're not in my contacts you are getting screened.

It seems pretty popular nowadays in CL and Clojure. Scheme less so.
Perhaps you could just rename the function names, structure fields, etc, to something different but similar?

e.g. instead of ps3_fly_up(...) you'd rename to something a bit more generic like sdk_float_up(...) or something like that.

It could require a bit of creativity and some work but with a sufficiently-intelligent IDE it'd just be a one-time rename per function name + structure name + field name.
If I were on the jury for the civil case where you are accused of destroying several minimum wage call center employees' eardrums and hearing, I would vote guilty.
The other option would be to front caches through ISPs and the like.

This works far better when the items requested are small in number but large in volume (that is: a large number of requests against a small set of origin resources). When dealing with widespread and deep scraping, other strategies might be necessary, but these aren't impossible to envision.

Specifically permitted scraping interfaces or APIs for large-volume data access would be another option.

Of course, there's the associated issue that data aggregation itself conveys insights and power, and there might be concerns amongst those who think they're providing incidental and low-volume access to records discovering that there's a wholesale trade occurring in the background (whether that's remunerated or free of charge).

Both are necessary. I think the difference is that Group A (keep things running) without Group B (explore new territory) would have kept us in the stone ages.
However, that is not to understate their importance: a humanity consisting entirely of Group B would be much more unstable, and possibly have gone extinct.

It may incidentally be in some cases, but isn't guaranteed to be. Things don't necessarily flow back up from RHEL to CentOS stream, and even if they do in a general sense, it may not be sufficient to build the exact same tag that RHEL uses. Someone else mentioned that they were not able to build RHEL packages from CentOS stream.

Nothing else involves as much invention. We know intimately everything that goes into buildings & have built very similar buildings that serve very similar used millions of times. Each software has unique intent & is hugely hand crafted.

You cannot overbuild for software. You can over scale. But we don't have plumbing, electricity, foot, space, structural capacities as numerical behavioral properties that we can overshoot.

Both are complex but code is arbitrarily complex. The ways things can go wrong is unbounded.
Satisfying though it would be, I could see this running afoul of the anti booby trap laws.
I've never believed that orcas have always left humans alone. I think they began leaving humans alone when commercial whaling took off and they witnessed first hand how dangerous humans can be to whales. Maybe that generational memory is now fading.

Yeah I know the argument that humans are too bony and taste bad, but how would they know we taste bad if they never even take a nibble to taste test us? These are very intelligent mammals, they should be curious about how we taste. Am I to believe that sharks are more inquisitive and willing to experiment with food than orcas?

there are conflicting or at least mutually differing goals for an OS and the products. It seems from this desk that part of the extended systemd unrest is actually about spending resources for one set of aims, not another, when both are legitimate. It seems obvious the companies acquire tech with finance, and finance often cares about security and adding new locks, fences and cameras in the product fabric. systemd and the EFI boot seem to becoming more vehicles for new locks, fences and cameras than adding features to the product.
I love this style (avoiding multiple-statement blocks) !

Sometimes you can still avoid multiple statements by rearranging your code otherwise. For example, in your case, you can set *result=0 at the beginning of the function. Other times, you can also cram the assignment inside the condition using short circuit evaluation; this trick somehow seems more palatable to normies than the comma operator.

Sure! Maybe a couple wants an animated map that shows their geographic paths that finally cross and intertwine. Maybe they both love early 2000s music and they want their wedding site to look like a myspace page that plays their fav song. But do LGBT clients as a group ask, "please write a paragraph of your own devising advocating for gay marriage as equal to straight marriage in the eyes of God"? No, they don't, so pre-declaring that as a class, making a wedding site for any LGBT couple would require her to "say" anything she disagrees with is false.

The site designer can be creative and so can the florist. That creative act is not a statement about the rights anyone should have.
Folks, can I ask about your opinion on one particular case of child photos on social media?

Imagine a semi-pro photographer, focusing on childhood photography. The photos are of course not any candid moments, celebrating the kids birthdays or sharing their lives. It’s staged, often with professional lights, heavily Photoshopped, etc. Telling a “story” rather than showing the photographed person - they are basically actors. Clearly, FB et al. would be great for finding clients, or just sharing the work with people who enjoy this kind of art.

Do you think it’s OK to post such images, provided the parents’ give their consent? Do you think it’s OK to post such images of the photographer’s own kids?

EDIT: Should have mentioned that there's no reason to link the models' identity on social media. It's not captioned as "Picture of David Oberon, 6yo from Seattle" but rather "Picture of a little inventor, working on a cool new machine".

Always has been, affirmative action and policies that limit Asian education upward mobility is like the one issue I see masses apolitical asians consistently and vocally rally for in the last few years. MSM has been downplaying their frustrations for a long time though, mainly because most of the media savvy Asians / Asians who get MSM time are disproportionately “libtards” who are disconnected from the priorities of the broader Asian community.

Nostr solves this. You don't need to "create an account", you just generate a key pair. That is your account. On what relays you store your data is orthogonal to this. As long as an event is signed by your private key, it is your event.
There was quite a popular Austrian band who had some political songs, and one was about a man living near a nuclear power plant.

Ok from the contents of the comment it appears you may not be interested in recognizing historical wrongs & working towards rectifying them. Even statements like “full legal equality” are very clearly biased towards certain beliefs, views, and culture. In reality there are many laws that have been written with nefarious intentions & this includes selective enforcement or enshrining one particular cultural standard over another. The crack vs cocaine laws of the 80s in the US is a very good example.

>You’re acting like the only positive culture history has seen has been “white” culture

I’m certainly not stating this. If it seemed that way then now I will plainly state white culture is certainly not the only positive culture. Every culture has positives and negatives.

This is not about generational guilt, it is about establishing justice. Generational trauma and current day injustice has been enforced against minority groups.

>guilt

I’m not here to grant any white people forgiveness or make them feel guilty. this conversation need not focus on the feelings of guilt of white people. Guilt with no action is not helpful. Don’t feel guilty for something you didn’t do. Just don’t support oppression and help in establishing justice.

It’s better if instead of denying established evidence because someone is afraid of feeling guilty, that we focus on how can we as people in society use this evidence to do better today, given the historical context.

Why do you see establishing justice as an attack on white people and their culture?? Unless your culture is to promote injustice which I don’t think most people desire, I don’t believe you should be opposed.

This is not about dismantling a culture and making everyone the same. It’s about establishing justice.

If a culture has injustice and oppression, then no doubt these elements must be opposed.
I can't speak for kxyvr, but let me chime in as a mathematician who does formalise my theorems. There's no issue with representing various foundations (e.g. ZFC) on a computer -- for example, that's essentially what Lean/mathlib does, and it's working out great for them. A "problem" with ZFC, however, is that it's very low-level, meaning there's a large distance between the "informal" proofs which mathematicians carry out and communicate, and their corresponding formal proofs in ZFC. Accordingly, for a ZFC-based mathematician to start using proof assistants, they not only have to learn how to use a proof assistant, but also to translate (or expand/elaborate) their math into ZFC.

In other foundations, such as homotopy type theory (which is what the article is about), the distance between "informal" mathematical arguments and their formal counterparts is much shorter. This is why formalisation is widespread in the HoTT-community. Indeed, I believe Voevodsky worked on HoTT in order to have a foundation which was much closer to the mathematical practice in homotopy theory.
Nice, congrats to him. Sounds like an example of someone negotiating a good contract.
As far as I understand, this is even true of lesser known old movies - even the work of figuring out who has the rights to what is unlikely to pay back, so it’s just never released in a digital format.
The people who wrote and worked on X for many years decided to write and work on Wayland instead. No-one's forcing you to switch, but conversely no-one's forcing the folk who used to work on X development to keep doing that.

It helps to be able to cut cables to an exact length, but you have to leave a little slack. There was that time a friend and I connected about 40 pairs to the board of a college radio station that were exactly the right length and somebody yanked on the board and broke many of them.
Why? Not even the US calls SWAT for robberies, that would be truly idiotic. You call your insurance office so the you can try to fight your way through the people that are trying to prevent you from filling out all the paperwork necessary to get your coverage. Very different fight.
I agree with almost everything said here, especially the value of curiosity and experimentation.

A few thoughts:

- Every project is at its most exciting right in the beginning when it's new, and toward the end where the end is in sight. The trick is staying engaged and interested in the long, flat middle where progress comes in small dribs and there are frequent setbacks.

- Another point I wish the essay made is that many projects reach a point at which it is best to reveal it to others. That is one of the most scary parts, of exposing oneself to criticism and doubt. It's what petrifies so many people from even starting. But if you embrace it not as the end, but as part of the process and a natural part of the evolution of the idea, it can itself be turned into a motivator. It's your first milestone. You WANT to get to that point, as a checkpoint. Seek out the feedback, adjust, and press on.

- In fact, more should be said about the emotional part of doing projects. The love (or lust), the fear, the frustration, the doubt, and yes, the joy. All those human emotions are part of doing any work. We can run away from it and try to avoid it, or realize it comes with the territory.

- Another thing that comes with experience and age is knowing what to say NO to, and avoid getting pulled away into the tributaries. It's easy to get distracted by side quests and to engage in bike-shedding. In fact, sometimes it's necessary for one's mental health. But it is best to keep an eye on the main goal that got us excited about the idea in the first place. Knowing when the break is over and it is time to get back to main path is a trick that seems to only come with age.

- Lastly, there is great value in brevity (this is not a critique of PG's excellent essay :-) Imagine meeting a friend and they ask what you are working on. You tell them a long, complicated story, and their eyes glaze over. Next person, you learn to shorten it. Same result. You iterate. Soon, you've boiled it down to a short sentence you can rattle off without thinking. That's the nugget of the idea. The through-line. It's the blurb on the back of the book, the opening line of the website, and the executive summary of the grant application or pitch deck. At some point, all works need to be explained to someone else, before they become Great Works.

Abuse of DMCA has been common since inception but people rarely successfully retaliate because it could trivially run into 10s of thousands of dollars to do so with dubious chances of recovery. Furthermore if they have obfuscated their identity or are overseas you are unlikely to receive any satisfaction.

Take downs ought to required to be attached to a substantial bond per creator not per work that can be recovered in country without substantial litigation. Legit creators could act through an intermediary while paying only a small fraction of the bond under the premise that they would rarely lose the bond and could recover from someone who has a legal identity attached.

Trolls would virtually cease to exist as it would be expensive and futile. Post one fake notice lose your money exit.

Legit companies that presently haphazardly take down programmatically would adjust their strategy after they lost the nth bond.
something of a coincidence

Orcas do go in for fads (look up 'orca salmon hats') but experts oftentimes dismiss things as coincidence because they don't have a theory and don't want to look stupid by speculating.
