Just don't understand how one could be convinced these days of the fundamental conceit that even a properly profitable company is necessarily going to provide good things for people downstream, or for society in general. What is the argument for that in general again?

Because to me, if your not Twitter, your Wal Mart or Raytheon or BoA. If your not shittifying a platform you are pushing out small businesses from every town, price gouging government contracts for missiles, fooling elderly people with complicated financial instruments.

I just can't really put together any argument at all, if am being honest, to justify the idea that companies with a self interest in profit will reliably help people or the world. It just does not at all feel rational, its like everyone in the world is dreaming.
It boggles my mind that Microsoft of all companies cannot seem to understand that building a software ecosystem requires first attracting developers to a platform. Make that platform attractive and remove friction.

They manage to screw it up more often than not, and then wonder why nobody buys a Zune or a WMR headset or a Windows phone or an Xbox...
The input substrate to produce CaO is CaCO3. This requires a lot of energy, often obtained by burning coal and the reaction releases CO2.
Absorbing CaO/Ca(OH)2 makes sense only in systems like submarines/bunkers with no external air supply.
As a CO2 capture method on a large scale is makes no sense. Even if we think about using CaO as some "CO2 capture and release" material with who knows, storing pure CO2 underground, I think even theoretical no CO2 emitting energy needed for baking CaCO3 has a better use.
Hey u/thunderbong, thanks for this share on the browser side. Is there anyway to get in touch with you for a conversation? Between browsers, minimal forum software, and some of the other things I've seen you post about — I'd like to connect, about possibilities on working on these things! (If anybody else sees this and has a similar interest in minimal and OSS softwares around forum, chat, browsers, etc, feel free to reach out via my profile!)
I think there's a distinction between being recorded in the first place, and what the recording might be used for in the future. I think it's OK to permit a recording to take place in a public place without explicit consent, but still require consent to use that recording in (for example) publishing it where someone is a feature in that publication (as opposed to someone who happens to be in the background and remains otherwise unidentified).

Nowadays technology might mean that someone anonymous gets identified by a third party using automation. So it will become public knowledge, indexable on the person, as to where they were and what they were doing. But that was going to happen anyway. I'm not sure restricting recordings in the first place is really going to stop that.

Life during the Dinosaurs era was harsh by today's measures (high temperatures, high CO2, etc..) humans would not be able to survive under these conditions.

+10 degrees will kill us but will not kill life and will probably create different kinds of species.
If it's similar to Denmark or Germany, then yes. More or less.

If you use a wide angle lens form afar and the person in question is just a small blimp in the background it can be ok. At least that is how I understood it.

But you can't just walk up to a person and take their photo.

You also can't have a security / doorbell camera that records public road. I think if you watch it live, that part can be recorded. But no 24/7 background recording of public spaces.

I like it :)

Couldn’t you add a Monty Pythonesque notice below the required verbatim text to explain fair use rights? Perhaps even a direct quote from the statue?
I would agree in principle, but that would require an extensive parser for files it thinks it finds... it's easier to deal with this on the server side than the client side.
There is quite a lot of chatter about this paper in certain groups.

Compared to population sizes, numbers still seem minuscule. So the “safe” aspect of “safe and effective” would seem to remain just about appropriate.

Yet there also seems to be an increasingly definite and concerning risk profile emerging.

Is that a fair summary?

I wouldn't go so far as to be bitter about it like you appear to be (based on past negative experience?) but yeah: the real question is why should one stick to markup when you're developing an app anyway?

Markup is for documents, and the "declarative" aspect of it is that it guarantees certain safety conditions (termination, injection safety, maintainability) without sending the author into a full Turing-complete programming environment and everything that goes with it, requiring experience, testing, choice over implementation alternatives, maintenance, debugging, and more laborious/expensive hosting with monitoring, etc. Markup is for ambitious tech-savvy end users/non-developers, and the high end of a non-Turing markup language operating purely at the level of syntactic manipulation, unlike htmx and TwinSpark, IMHO would be SGML, containing a finite state mechanism for context dependent styling or other processing and natural injection-free templating/macro expansion.

Now the web has pushed the limits of what can conceivably be called "documents" eg blogs with threaded comments, table of contents and other navigational idioms, etc. For these kind of "content apps" (supported by SGML still), there has always been a struggle between full Turing complete environments and increasingly idiosyncratic markup techniques.

That struggle is even more noticeable when looking at CSS. IMO, CSS has aggregated such an enormous complexity while most advanced use cases fall straight into "app" territory. That is, there is no justification for most recent CSS features when those features can only realistically be applied in the presence of JavaScript anyway, and thus should actually be implemented using JavaScript rather than bloating CSS. Case in point: the has() selector which doesn't materially enhance what you can do with HTML/CSS but clearly is introduced in support of components and modularity; ie requiring JS anyway, and with JS allowing much better modularity already anyway, is hence just redundant. Clearly, also calc() and custom properties are doubling what's already available.

> I looked at logseq as an alternative to joplin but there were too many little flags that suggested to me that privacy and being free might not be forever.

Exactly my thoughts when I looked at it a few weeks ago (minus the privacy angle that I didn't feel).

I also bounced off the slew of influencer-type blog posts and videos that promise you that Logseq will change your {life, studies, PhD, work} forever when all I saw in those videos were very, very simple outlines. The whole community (including the subreddit) seems very... promotional.
> because Christianity is the source of spiritual truth

the source?

I'll give you a source (for some) .. but there are a lot of religions across the globe and Christianity is just one of several in the Abrahamic family.

Fair point about Galileo though - his trial was principally due to him being a delibrately provocative giant pain in the butt to all the wrong people.
What might happen is that it's a single page app. So whatever URL you access the same frontend is served. And then the SPA shows the correct content based on the path in the URL. Then it's hard for the backend to know the correct status code to send.

Of course you might still consider that a bug or wrong, but it's reality for a lot of web pages.
I don't get the $8/month. If you would pay for verification, that would be a one time payment. If the creators would be payed, then this might be fine, but they aren't. So it is only a fee to use the infrastructure.

You get a decent VPS for 8€/month, that has more computing power and bandwidth and storage that one person can use per month compared to what they would use on their systems for just streaming some videos and getting some messages.

Sure I don't calculate here the cost for development and maintenance, but this cost is mostly constant with numbers of active users.

As an outsider (European), I don't understand the reasoning for the dissenting opinion; I read it as: "you have a right, granted by the US Constitution (1A), but if the state has an interest that is in conflict with that right then you no longer have the right and this is fine". It asks the question "how is that right guaranteed?" if the State believes it is fine to revoke it.

As I see, there is no clause in 1A saying: this right is valid only if the state does not have a different opinion. Free speech is free even if you cry "Fire!" in a theater, but not if the state has other plans?

Btw, in Europe I think there is no country with free speech rights. My country has it in the Constitution, but it is cancelled by the next paragraph saying "it can be limited by law" (any law), so it practically means nothing as the laws should respect the Constitution, not to restrict it.

> ActivityPub doesn't offer a way to control data once it has left the instance

Nothing offers a way to control data once you post it publicly though? You could host a public mastodon with federation off and the amount of data exposed is not really going to be different than if you federate.
The C preprocessor is an example where expressiveness definitely stops being an honorific and starts being a liability.

But then you are perhaps back to square one, since the motivation for the question was to get away from the Turing Complete categorization which says nothing about whether it is practical to solve certains problems in a given language.
I don’t know that every editor today will gracefully handle a blob that isn’t valid UTF-8. Emacs needed a library (so-long) to disable some features that choke trying to render very long lines.

There's a large group of people who suffer from this affliction. It's where the term originated from, after all. So know that you're not alone. The question is, what can you do about it?

You have to teach yourself and learn to be intentional about what you choose to do. Which isn't easy, but it's worth it. Before doom scrolling Instagram and Twitter there was Reddit and Digg and Fark and Slashdot before that. But before that was the original, the television.

It's a psychological thing. I'm not yet at the point where I can tell you how to get out of that loop, only that between TMS, meditation and mindfulness, therapy, ADHD medication, street drugs, and taking care of myself and listening to my body, I've broken out of it.

I used to lose days to scrolling all of Reddit but it's been months since I touched the stuff. I don't know what I did but I don't have the same fascination with absorbing all of the Internet that I used to. I was able to convince my subconscious that it turns out it's really mostly useless information that I'm never going to use, and I don't even remember most of it anyway.

> Which sites create a strong impulse to doomscroll for you?

Respectfully, why would you ask this? are you trying to shoot yourself in the foot by finding additional sites to doom scroll?

To be fair I had been searching for a non-scalped Series X since release until finally finding one a couple months ago. Stores are continuously sold out, so demand is outpacing supply.

The S is pretty readily available but is less powerful than the previous mid generation upgrade, the Xbox One X. Given that until very recently most games supported both generations there was basically no reason to upgrade from a One X to a Series S

Your job as a developer is to write code and piece code together to make your life easier. That includes taking the work that others have done and make it work to suit your code base.

On a mine site, the job is to mine and process minerals. That includes engineering a mine using products that eventually fail over time and need fixing. As part of that process an automotive electrician may need to fix the electronics on a vehicle that have become faulty or damaged.

Mechanics and engineers need to inspect, rebuild, and fix the tools they are given to do their job. The difference is that yours may not work up front, whereas these tools need maintenance over time.

H is a consonant. "An" is used in this case if the next word starts with a vowel.
I think op goes too far by including trailing slashes, but being liberal in what you accept (Postel's law) is a bad idea as the last few decades of the web have shown. Once you accept things, you are locked into supporting them forever lest you break compatibility. When there are multiple different implementations of a standard, they grow incompatible over time.
Maybe poor isn't the right word, but I certainly don't think they're rich enough to defend their self-interests, in this case their earning potential.
I'm at odds with this title. Wash trading is wrong. By presenting something as "wash trading gone wrong", you somehow imply that something could have been right at some point. The content is also flawed:

Agreed, this basically moves it to the "don't bother" pile. There are already the llama variants with non-commercial licenses, and open-llama as an open source model (I'm thinking in the 7B space specifically). This would have to be pretty friggin compelling to spend any time on.

Ask HN: Career advice for an overly versatile profile?
I'm a 35 years old Software Engineer with multiple experiences in startups. I think I'm average (or good) in many areas, but almost nowhere an expert. I dabble in everything: back, front, devops, and even outside of the web, I started a business, I have some product skills (UI, UX), marketing, business, etc.

And I actually liked this polyvalence, until now, because it became very difficult to find a new job that takes advantage of my versatility. The profiles sought are always specialized in established companies. Almost no one is looking for a "jack of all trades."

I would probably be a good fit being the co-founder of a new startup, but I can't afford not being paid for many months right now.

At this stage of my life, I am starting to regret my versatility while I sincerely thought it was a strength.

Sega went through a number of buyouts and merges and renames and spinoffs over the decades so it's a pretty complex history to follow as it alternated between American and Japanese ownership.

By the mid 80s, CSK, a Japanese software firm, purchased the company from Gulf and Western, the American owners at the time. They then established Sega of America, so I say "of Japan" to distinguish the Japanese office.

The name Sega, is derived from Service Games of Japan, the name in the 1950s.

Since FB this spring deleted my account since 16 years for no reason (that they would say) I have to my surprise experienced a kind of freedom, a calm serenity. After the initial feeling of being insulted and shut out from my circle of friends and family through no fault of mine I have gradually come to realize a few things:

1. there are other, better ways to stay in contact with with people I care about than through group messages and posts (which is actually an insidious sort of indirect messaging when you think about it).

2. as users of these mega-services we are largely like puppets on a string, victims of the latest fads among governments and advertisers.

3. Meta is, and always was, an unethical service that profits off the wide dissemination of our most private information. And profiting off pure scams, for example those that target poor and naive people with promises of untold riches through crypto schemes as testified by various celebrities (that have had their pictures stolen). [0]

We are nearing the point where we can, nay should, en masse desert these manipulative megaservices like Meta, Twitter, Youtube et al. They represented a certain phase in the history of internet, and as all things, their hegemonies must come to an end. We can for example willfully trigger the algorithms that shut our accounts down, as it is just about the only statement we are left with.

For the sake of our own serene peace of mind if nothing else.

I am pretty sure the released product represents an extreme rush to market, and an incomplete representation of their intentions for it.

Reason: Meta has been having NDA'd meetings with admins of the larger Mastodon instances, and it's no secret that they intended to have this on the Fedi, which is also not in the current release. My assumption is that the NDA meetings were to promise fiscal help for instance admins who will necessarily get a huge flood of new traffic when Meta brings their tsunami of Intsadiocy to the Fedi infranet; my guess is it will be an amount of money that gives them a fair amount of discretion and which is pretty big to them, but pretty small to Meta. A means of getting the bigger "players" to let them execute their strategy, even knowing full well their intention to follow the Embrace with the formulaic Extend and Extinguish.

Most actual founders who actually know tech things also accept this deal when they get bought out. No reason not to think they'll bite, and most of them did, or at least, they went to the meetings and then started doing syrupy posts about "fair play" and "they get to have a chance," cause clearly the techbros have not yet had a chance to fully implement their genius plan that's totally gonna work guys.

And the whole "we love the openness" thing, I believe that as much as I believe Microsoft love Linux.

Not that Elon isn't their primary target, though why they're bothering I don't know, he's basically sitting in the middle of Main Street, covered in gasoline and holding a lighter screaming for attention. He's gonna get sent somewhere soon. Possibly space, who knows. But has really hung his ass waaaaaay out there the last week or two and I think they couldn't resist the urge to fuck it now rather than later.

Other reason I think they rushed is, the Fediverse as it was a couple weeks ago made their feelings pretty clear about federating with Meta, and I'm pretty sure they have been paying attention (not like the Fedi is private after all). Someone in the structure recognized that if they really do hope to execute the Embrace move, this is not the safe moment to do it.

Which means that the intense month of ActivityPub/Mastodon focused dev they've been doing has been premature, but they couldn't predict the last two weeks a month ago, so they're pivoting the product on the fly to a Twitter-grab posture.

My guess is that the people who were working on AP support are now either developing the WebUI for Threads, or else the implementation to allow people to view Threads through the Insta site, with a lightning fast rollout coming by end of next week.

They will still roll out to Mastodon as well, but I'm pretty sure from what I saw on the Fedi that they have come to understand that this is not the unsuspecting populace that they afflicted with Cambridge Analytica; this is a small subset of that population that learned the lesson thereof. If they hope to have anything to do with it, one thing is certain, they need to move slow.
