Or write(2) [1]. I was thinking immediately about ntalk though, because its the last time I used such on the same machine (because IRC wasn't encrypted back then). The nice thing about that, is that you can have it listen locally only, and then one needs a user account on that machine. So its great for say SDF but also these larger clusters and all that. And it doesn't do auth; you let PAM or BSD_Auth do that. It doesn't do sockets or encryption, you let TLS do that. And you could just use SSH to get to a secure shell, using tmux and (n)talk from there. Goes without saying (n)talk isn't 5 lines of bash as its written in C.

> and also my terrible ADHD

FWIW, programming and ADHD tend to go well together once you can get past the basics. Especially when you're in the flow of things, it's just a constant loop of small change -> visible progress -> dopamine hit. Combine that with hyperfocus on the occasional deep bug and it can feel like a superpower.

Don't get me wrong, there are lots of other times where it doesn't work like that, and this assumes you can actually get started, but when you do it can be magical.

> sure this has absolutely nothing to do the hundreds of million of genetically modified mosquitos that were released into Florida by the Bill gates funded biotech firm Oxitec

It does, as in they both have a common cause: rising temperatures making the United States more habitable for malaria.
Mastodon could have done this (via SRV records), but chose instead to delegate to WebFinger (which does not support DNS-based redirection): https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/1931 So if you want to own your Mastodon identity as a domain, you must also maintain a Webfinger server to act as a redirect.
This is basically Google's reaction to Windows Subsystem for Android.

Note that WSL was born out of the first attempt to have Android support on UWP.
PlanGrid is typical of the successful construction tech startups in that it addresses the way that information is transmitted during projects without impacting the actual way that buildings are physically assembled.

This research study is using a very simple task, summarization, that is well solved by AI (to the point that everyone points this out as the first use case). Of course, the MTurkers are gonna paste it into ChatGPT. (Also n=44)
No, you don't need a consent form. The GDPR does not require consent.

For example, you don't need consent to store server logs with IP addresses if all they're used is for security and auditing. You don't need consent to archive receipts and invoices if you need to do that for tax purposes, even though those are full of PII. You don't always have to let people opt out of that, either!

That's called legitimate interest, and did you know you have it?

If the person might be a child then the rules have been complex and obtuse since forever. You might need a DPO for regulatory compliance, much in the same way you might need an accountant.
I'm not sure how "to gain" excludes gaining a disease. In any case, as I've alluded to before, other uses of acquire don't make the definition of developing a disease you weren't born with any less legitimate. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
So all the violence is being committed by 14 - 16 year olds?

Or is it those who were 14-16 in the late 80's / early 90's when this particular pearl-clutch was popularised?

Also "a mimicking of violence, which for the youngest leads to a kind of disconnect from reality."

Seems there's a bit of that going around.
>secret sauce for construction is just finding the cheapest labor you can

And then "sorting out" all the mistakes you can expect from such kwality.
Permits and taxes can be addressed through politics and civic engagement.
This isn’t entirely correct. Modular construction is definitely an option and is particularly well suited to projects like hotels and apartments with lots of repeating layouts. Here’s a 4 storey hospital extension that I worked on in Melbourne that was put together over a weekend: https://www.modscape.com.au/commercial/the-avenue-hospital-e....

Having said that, it definitely has limitations. There’s a lot more structure in the modules which means more material overall and makes it harder to fit in services. You’re also limited architecturally.
> The openness of PC means that a second app store can exist and be successful on the Windows platform

First one being Steam?

Steam has tons of casual games too.
Honestly I'm not sure what argument you are trying to make.
DDT is indeed a problem, but its first worries are now not entirely true.

In the 90s it was discovered that fruitflies now can metabolize DDT, so it can be broken down (and still used in larger concentrations to kill them)

Not advocating DDT use, just a FYI. It ws thought to "never be broken down"
Alex Spiro in particular acts like a clown. The firm itself is fine. I know some very smart attorneys who work there, same as any biglaw firm.
My experience is different. When I looked at Styx for the first time, it was like a gathering of angels appeared above my head. Of course it turned out they were aliens, but that's beside the point.
Indeed, walking punches way over expectations for keeping weight off. You have to do a good hour of a walk, but an hour walking is probably better than a rushed workout of similar time.
Almost every book I read nowadays that isn't a textbook is read on my Kobo. (Is there a word for that kind of book? The type you read through once from beginning to end.)

But for textbooks and other reference materials, a paper book (or just stapled papers) is by far the best technology available. The speed of information retrieval is unparalleled, especially once you become familiar with the layout. Flipping backwards and forwards between pages and thumbing to the correct place by memory is common. Not to mention that you have as much "screen" space as desk space, and you can even pile them on top of each other if that's not enough.
Yeah just retire somewhere where you don't speak the language, have minimal-to-zero connection to local culture, and will be thousands of miles from children, family, and friends. Simple!

Obesity rates rise sharply circa 1980, when the deregulatory climate became entrenched in the US and UK and there is a proliferation of new chemicals. You might say corn syrup became popular then but cane sugar was around long before obesity became epidemic.

Dietary and lifestyle interventions notoriously don’t work, or rather they work temporarily. There seems to be a set-point for weight and you just won’t eat enough to go over it and have a very hard time to go under it. That set point seems to have gone up.

Does Windows Subsystem allow you to log in with your Google account? That's a big thing here - not just Android compatibility, but the fact that it's part of Google Play Games, so I assume cloud-saved savegames and the like will be working here.
That title: how is excellence a habit? You can't excel without consistent practice (unless it's a completely new field, possibly), but that doesn't make it a habit. The reverse doesn't hold. While failure may also be lack of habit.

Clickbait is a habit, I suppose.
Indeed, and the assertion that 'only poor kids together' will behave even worse certainly needs backing up with data.

It seems obvious to me (since the experiment is repeated over and over within millions of families) that environment plays a major role in behaviour, but tbh I don't see good behaviour rubbing off onto the 'bad' kids in a mixed setting, it's almost always the other way around, or at best, a productive environment is disrupted by a few troublemakers.

So 'good' kids should get an environment free of disruption so they can do what they do. And the 'bad' kids should get an environment much more focused on encouraging good behaviour, so they learn to do the good stuff too. Win-win.

acceptance.

from what i understand, two main sources of power can concretely help in this regard: solar/wind power and nuclear power (note: i didn't say "or", i said "and).

however a lot of greenwashing goes to cover the shortcomings of solar and wind power, meaning we will not have stable, abundant and clean power in time to stop the climate disaster that's coming.
Misleading title (original article's fault). There's no connection between Threads launching and the Mastodon server going offline. Server was offline because the domain was suspended by the registrar.

"Every person on the planet should have their own website" probably qualifies if the beholder's eye is over the age of 20.
Ha! I remember slogging through that as an undergrad. Afterwards, I was hoping for something less dense and arcane. But the next book was Heidegger's Being and Time.
If you include tuition at the rate undergrads pay it as part of the compensation then they are paid much more than the median wage. Average annual tuition alone for many research universities is higher than the median annual wage.
850K BTC was about $250 million in 2014. Today it’s worth 25 billion. That should give you an idea of the scale difference.
Yes. The word "contract" would be ambiguous between the people being infected with malaria in the US or them developing symptoms in the US after having been first infected while abroad. Using "acquire" doesn't present that ambiguity.
I'm pretty sure the cringe part is the "as the tool of mind expansion" bit.
Probably bought it on eBay.

(I just checked and no immediate hits for "malaria virus sample" on eBay so probably not, hope I don't get a visit from the good people at Border Force for this. :P )
There've been cases, they just haven't gotten it here, because the local mosquito populations aren't biting infected people given its rarity. Sounds like that's changing. Goodie.
`"Oh but the cover art is blurry"...seriously? Who the hell cares?`

I care.
I bet you couldn't.
I loved HAML (and RoR) when I was a dyn-lang believer. I've since learned some Haskell and now believe in strong typing. This also drove me away from HAML.

Kotlinx.html is pretty close being a type safe HAML.
There might be a wealth of emulators on PC, but they've seemed pretty sketchy for the ones I've seen.
Target is mostly unskilled roles or locally-based, i.e. your near chicken shop or ice cream stand where application that is too long or complex may not be a good natural filter.
Correct. It has nothing to do with that.
> That's called legitimate interest, and did you know you have it?

You can’t just claim legitimate interest, you need specific, up-to-date legal documentation in the form of an impact assessment.

> You might need a DPO for regulatory compliance, much in the same way you might need an accountant.

Exactly! All I’m saying is (much like accounting) GDPR compliance is not easy or simple or something you can spend fifteen minutes on and be done. GDPR compliance is complicated. I’m not saying it’s bad, but I am saying that (contrary to some of the comments here) you can’t just say “Oh, I have consent or legitimate interest so GDPR is solved”.
Well, not necessarily, because while it may be highly compressed data shaped by a long history, we don't know if that data is actually any good. It could be the compounded misapprehensions of all the peoples that contributed to it. Just the fact that something holds a lot of highly efficiently compressed data doesn't mean it's actually good data.

You might argue that if it's old and still common today then it must have guided the people who followed it well in order to survive so long, engaging in a kind of natural selection of ideas, but the thing is that ideas can also fall prey to suboptimal equilibria and all sorts of other evolutionary weirdness and badness. Like, the success of an idea is not directly related to how good the idea actually is for the people that follow it. As long as it isn't bad enough to kill off all its followers, an idea can spread by many other means. Maybe it's better at spreading, through appealing to our baser natures or cognitive biases, maybe it's good at locking itself in through thought stopping cliches and fear of reprisal and stuff like Pascal's Wager/Roko's Basilisk. Or maybe it's really good at setting up interlocking peer pressure and network effects and social enforcement of continuing to believe it. Or maybe it's better at suppressing other ideas. Or maybe it's better at creating a group geared toward conquest or evangelism, but actually living under it sucks otherwise. Maybe it's just really beneficial to a small group of people in power and so they work really hard to spread it. Not to mention, it only had to compete against the actual ideas that existed contemporary with ut in history and were strong enough to create evolutionary pressure, so if a new idea comes along about how to organize society or whatever, we don't actually know if it will automatically win out just because it won out against other different ideas in the past. What would we think an idea is unimprovable or optimal just because it is old? The long term existence and popularity of an idea or tradition doesn't necessarily make it good at all. Would you say that the Bible's injunctions against e.g. divorce or homosexuality or women being able to teach and hold positions of authority are encoded wisdom? The most valuable data there is?

I'm by no means an actual positivist, which is an incoherent position, but I am a pragmatist, and I think the only way to actually figure out if a tradition is worth anything is to look at its reasoning, its assumptions, its history, and its effects in the world.
The best comment from a vitamin D study I remember is "you can lay buck naked on a rook in January all day but won't get enough vitamin D". Referring to northern US and Canada in winter.
Upcoming court cases. The lawyers for the exchanges will have to argue for their interpretation of why it's not securities and the SEC will have to argue why the believe it is. The courts will decide based on the facts. If the courts find they're not securities, then CFTC rules will apply.

The regulatory agencies aren't there to help you find a way to do business legally, that's a job for your lawyers. If there is not established case law, then you're risking very expensive trials.
Apple only lost the lawsuit against Microsoft because they literally licensed 90% of the GUI design to them.

And then in the followup lawsuit, Steve Jobs settled in order to get Microsoft to promise to keep supporting Office on Mac to keep the Mac from dying.
'“bad” kids don’t need discipline, they need help'

Some would argue that disciplining is helpful in many cases. Proper disciplining is not just punishment but should include an explaination of why what they did was wrong and what the right thing to do is.

Kids having discipline is a slightly different topic, but can be partially built through the process above.
No one is quitting oil this decade. All this navel gazing over how hard or easy it would be to do and whether we should use bikes or hydrogen or the power of dreams is just a weird pretense. It honestly makes me think more and more about Don't Look Up
It is a lot. Period.

I could pay for this and notice very little difference in my financial life.

But I balk heavily at the $3k price tag and ask myself “what do I _really_ get out of this?”

I literally said “I agree that keeping them in general education is bad too” but I feel like you have a point you want to make irrespective of anything I’m saying so go on.
Rising temperatures + uncontrolled swampland. This is as good a call as any that states need to take public health seriously, but I doubt anything will really change.

Surprised to hear no mention of Obsidian (https://obsidian.md/). I switched from Evernote to Notion years ago and finally switched beginning of this year from Notion -> Obsidian.

Top reasons:

- local first files stored in markdown format (somewhat future-proof); this also allows a Git repo sync

- multiple ways of syncing Vaults (their term for a workspace); can store Vaults on iCloud, Dropbox, or with Obsidian's Sync service which is E2E encrypted

- rich plugin ecosystem

- can style pages with CSS and run various code, like javascript, from inside the editor

- Graph view and Canvas are extraordinarily useful visualizations of your data

- supportive and prolific community, from their forums, to YouTube creators and bloggers; simply search "Obsidian intro" or "Obsidian tips" or "Moving to Obsidian from ___" for inspiration
No need to be that dramatic about it, just make sure you've had a safe amount of gin and tonic!
Such a pedantic response, the archetypical HN comment, I can sense the pretentious smirk on your face while writing it, thanks. Words still mean something, we don't compile a dynamically typed, interpreted scripting language such as PHP for a reason and as it turns out Facebook didn't "compile PHP" either but a dialect of the language.

I went to a Catholic one of these. World religion was a double edged sword. If you're born a Muslim and are a good Muslim you go to heaven. But it's better to "upgrade" by converting to Catholicism.

That's what we were taught. Including the inferiority of evangelical Christianity. i.e. belief in Christ as a deity and your redeemer, isn't good enough to get you into heaven. You have to do good works.

I have every confidence religious schools teach the superiority of their religion. With a white Jesus on a cross. It's not Jewish and Muslim schools pushing for public money without strings attached into private schools. It's Christian schools.

Well maybe there will come a time once again when folks understand Jefferson's letter to the Danbury Baptists, from which we get the wall of separation between church and state phrase. It is in the letter from the Danbury Baptists we see what they were worried about. It wasn't Jews, Muslims, atheists, or anti-religionists. They were worried about the Danbury Congregationalists.

Christians are not on the same page, is an understatement. They really aren't all on the same book either. It's impossible to promote them all the same. And they will not and should not permit dissimilar promotion.

The only sane solution to preserving freedom of religion is to also preserve freedom from it. The government must only promote secularism. Everything else is playing with fire.
That's not established by the courts.

Yes, point - there is no candidate good enough to get admitted, if he is stupid enough in making his case. That friend's son didn't build a people-oriented business by being stupid.

(OTOH, I wouldn't call it a "summer hustle" when you've paid your CPA more for routine tax prep than any of your peers have earned before graduating. Hopefully yours was similarly lucrative.)

An example of your point - another old friend had a nephew who was an "obvious" candidate for an Ivy / Stanford / etc. on academics, etc., etc. The nephew was also an out-of-the-closet white supremacist, both online and in his application essays. Zero offers, even from third-tier schools.
Or sometimes a person shows up at a new IT job and the old admin didn't leave behind any notes and the only way to do the job at all short of rebuilding everything from the ground up is to pwn the network.
With what zeal? Tokenbros had extremely easy life for more than a decade, despite it being obvious that almost all of them are unregistered securities. Imagine selling a contaminated pills, or advertise and sell drugs to minors for 15 years, just like scammers in tokenbro industry. Oh, wait...

See my other comment. Modular is somewhat better in some cases, but not dramatically better, which is why it has gained a certain share of the market but not the majority of it.

Modular is mature technology and would have taken over the whole industry decades ago if it was actually a lot better.
Hey! It's Jay, I'm a journalist and developer and I've done most of the work on the front and backend of Project E Ink. Happy to answer your questions!

So what we've done: we're indeed running our own Visionect servers these devices connect to. We've build a friendly and news-centered frontend so the display shows news, updates on new editions (or a user-set timeframe), or forgets about newspapers altogether and displays HTML on any URL you provide.

If we were to sunset or go MIA or anything else unforeseen and unlikely you will still have an awesome display that you can configure to connect to any other Visionect server in the world. And indeed: these servers are Docker-images you can deploy yourself https://hub.docker.com/r/visionect/visionect-server-v3/

So the deal is: a screen and our software. If you don't like our software you'll still have an awesome screen that'll work as long as there's Docker and TCP/IP ;)
