This is the exact verbiage from the community guidelines:

Sexually Explicit Material. Visual depictions of sexually explicit acts (or content with an overt focus on genitalia) are not allowed on Tumblr. That includes pictures, videos, GIFs, drawings, CGI, or anything similar. Historically significant art that you may find in a mainstream museum and which depicts sex acts—such as from India’s Śuṅga Empire—are now allowed on Tumblr with proper labeling.

Nudity and other kinds of adult material are generally welcome. We’re not here to judge your art, we just ask that you add a Community Label to your mature content so that people can choose to filter it out of their Dashboard if they prefer.

You have the option to add a community label when making a new post, reblogging a post, or editing an existing post. Depending on your content, you can label it as generally mature or choose a specific category such as “Sexual Themes” if your post contains sexually suggestive subject matter.

Blogs which have a focus on mature content may not be eligible for certain Tumblr features, including monetization options. We need to consider the policies of our partners in the payments space, so the rules there are a bit different.

For more information about this guideline, and how to appeal decisions about sexually explicit material, check out our Help Center article.

It may very well be true that 3rd parties can easily connect my identities. However I still see no reason to share my private identity with Bob from accounting.
I see a lot of "why is it allowed to continue" comments, but it's not clear to me that more police intervention would change much.

You arrest one group of people, put them in jail - ok, now you have a market vacuum, what's going to happen?

You can push it a bit further underground, increase the prices a bit, but as long as the same old incentives are there you'll see the same outcomes.

You're only changing the faces on the street unless you can do something more fundamental.

Still not entirely sure how the people on here seem to largely continue to support companies like Apple. I get it - they have the high-paying jobs, they make shiny toys, they have slick marketing and symbolism, caring about things like privacy, freedom, education, empowering people, etc, seems oh so very naff - but at the same time, technologically aware people know what Apple are doing.

Right? Or not? Is the argument just - oh, but the stuff is cool, so... whatever?

Not attempting to flame here, I genuinely am curious on the take people have that permits them ethically to continue buying Apple stuff and fan-person-ing over it. I know not everyone is, but it seems really very common, even on here amongst the technically literate. Maybe especially on here?

> So the police seem to just let this happen without caring about its impact on the citizens that pay their salaries? Got it.

As long as the demand exists, the supply will come.

If you want to fix this, you have to get the users into the medical system to get them off the drugs.

But, you see, that takes money--real money. And nobody actually cares about the drug users--they just want them out of sight.

So, the charade will continue. And so it goes.

SVG is a pixel buffer the same way html is a pixel buffer. It can have multiple types of animations, hover states, etc.
My favorite idea that I have seen is allowed students to return their degrees for a 70% refund within 12 months of graduation. If the school is confident that the degree will be a great asset throughout the person's career it will be no problem.

I really don't understand how people can stand using their browser in that way. The only time I ever have more than two tabs going is if I'm actively researching something -- and even then, I'll have multiple instances of the browser, each with 4-5 tabs, and at the end of my research session, they all get closed down.

But I don't think that people who have an insane number of tabs going are doing it wrong or anything. I'm just amazed that people find doing that to be useful.
This is a very old feature that (IIRC) all browsers copied that dates back to at least Microsoft Internet Explorer. I also recall people marketed it as a gimmick and came up with some silly names for it, e.g., "shortcuts". (I will try to find the originating browser and date it was introduced unless someone here beats me to it.)

Even today, Chrome presumptuously calls this macro expansion "site search".

I use it to access static pages. For example, I have local httpd's serving local pages on localhost addresses. One is a "clipboard" that I use in Chromebook "Guest" mode to output text from Chrome to a file descriptor, e.g., stdout or a file under /usr/local. This enables me to use UNIX utilities to process text from Chrome. (Chromebooks attempt to limit Chrome user access to the filesystem to a folder that the user can only access by using Chrome.)

For example, given the macro "https://127.0.0.8/%s.html", when I type "clip" in the address bar, the browser navigates to a local page

https://127.0.0.8/clip.html

This page is an HTML form with a textarea where I can paste text that I want to output to a file descriptor, e.g., stdout or a file under /usr/local.

Another example is a static page that is a list of web search results from various search engines. These results pages are generated by a command line web search system I created using only standard UNIX utilities.

A final example is that I use "site search" to quickly navigate to chrome://settings pages with a single key, e.g., chrome://settings/clearBrowserData, chrome://settings/siteData, chrome://settings/content/all, or chrome://settings/searchEngines.

1. I find this label comical as I'm not a "developer". I'm just a computer user trying to work around problems caused by ad-supported "tech" companies in the comparitively rare instances I have to use one of their hopelessly complex graphical web browsers.
Supporting ActivityPub can be done in a million ways and Facebook will likely do it in a way where they keep control of users.
If you think they won't, mention something they have done where users remain in control of... anything?
The thing with Google search is that I don’t think a lot of people actively seek it out to use it.

By being the default it’s just convenience. If a better default agreement came about, I think you’d see that moat disappear, which to me makes it not a moat.

In fact I think Google has actively made Google search a worse product over the past few years that other poorer alternatives are now actually not that different.
There is some merit to that

Think about it: you have no-coiners running around like “why does that need a token!? there is no use case for anything, I looked at the top 100 things on Coinmarketcap…”

Not noticing that they only found things with tokens because it advertised to them effectively, completely missing the products that do not have a token attached

Splitting the protocol fees with a subset of token holders who choose to stake is an ok human coordination mechanism, even gets no-coiners to look and swayed too late by a grifting youtuber at the top of the next bull market
Usually you believe you can make money if you deliver value to the customer. In crypto people don't believe they deliver value, they scam or prey on fomo.
The way to fight back is ubiquitous public monitoring of the state. We should understand that the state is always watching, but the state should also be aware that all its actions will be public knowledge.

Note the increased awareness brought by widely available cameras with immediate upload capability. The commenter above implied this is dystopian, but the opposite seems to have occurred -- as the public gains the capability to surveil the state, it constrains the state.
> Many (but not all; cf. parking) of the issues of cars in urban areas are related to cars being on the road, not being owned.

Parking is an extremely major urban land use issue, and its related to, well, not ownership per se but vehicles being possessed and stored by the usual occupant. On-demand use of not-personally-stored (whuch probably means fleet-owned) AV’s is radically freeing for urban land use, and is probably one of the least disruptive ways to transition from car-dependent to not-car-dependent urban design, with on-demand AVs as a bridge technology.
I think the problem is people are assuming that Nix is just one another tool.

In reality Nix is a programming language. It is a relatively simple language, but it is also functional and lazily evalated. And while the language is simple, its stdlib (nixpkgs) is actually puts another abstraction layer on top of it which is quite complex.

I do think though that Nix should do the same thing other programming languages do: identify what the nix stdlib is, move it to a separate repo with its own release schedule and ensure that whatever is added to it/removed from it is documented.

This won't help author of this blog, but it would be a great help for anyone who is willing to go through Nix Pills.
My reading was that the "comparable in size" was more about memory footprint and less about usage of storage
1) Add "calls to account creation" to un-logged in view. Annoying but fine.
2) Use an algorithmic feed and not a chronological one. Bad.
3) Clear up internal replies structure. Good.
4) Show you content from people you aren't following. Bad.
5) Rework push notifications. Depends on execution.
6) Reduce crashes. Good.

I'm on tumblr mostly to keep in touch with a circle of friends from 10 years ago. I don't want to "grow my blog" and I don't want content from people I don't follow.
As a book author, I can say that, "Yes, something was stolen. My opportunity to earn a living taking care of readers."

Now you may believe the incredibly self-serving baloney from big companies like Google. You may want to pretend that infringement isn't theft. To you, I hope that some homeless kid breaks into your home, starts squatting, and says that, "Hey, this isn't theft. Nothing has been destroyed."

But the simulator is designed to help you test your app, just like iOS apps that require touch/gestures/low battery/etc. can be tested on a macOS machine. If I were Apple, I wouldn’t voel their building tools that run on Quest in order to test your Vision app. What would be the point? It seems like such an opportunity cost that’s better spent on other things.
Probably my best story of “zombie flags” was when this guy accidentally deleted a production table. We disabled the feature flag, disabled some code written after it had been turned on and expected it to be on, then restored the table from a PIT backup. Finally, we reverted the code changes and feature flag. We were back up in a matter of hours (the table was hundreds of gb, so it took awhile to delete and restore). Some customers noticed the option missing from their options screen, but 99% of the customers never noticed the feature downtime.
I am not sure what you mean by "required infrastructure setup". Installing Petalisp is a single call to (ql:quickload :petalisp) - assuming you have Quicklisp installed. If you also have a C compiler available, and an executable named cc pointing to that compiler, Petalisp will use that to speed up your codes further.

About the required hardware - anything that runs SBCL or CCL can also run Petalisp.

Because that will soon become "why not 128k". Or perhaps we should use 2 megabytes for each prime? We don't know, but it's better to be safe than sorry.
The usual reason is that if you actually require a disk-based DB to exist to run your tests it affects a) how easy it is to run them (e.g. on a CI build agent that's probably a light weight container with minimal software installed etc.) b) how quickly they run - if I can't run my entire test suite in less than a couple of minutes it's probably reducing productivity c) how much set-up code my tests need and d) it needs some mechanism to ensure tests can still safely run in parallel, esp. if your database schema isn't designed to cope with multiple independent instances sharing a DB - and having each test create and use its very own DB is almost certainly going to impact performance.
Being able to use a memory-based DB that still supports enough of the SQL your code uses is a decent compromise much of the time, but it's annoying having to write tests for 90% of your functionality one way and 10% another because it relies on behavior that's different between your memory-based and disk-based DBs.
Personally I still prefer to able to unit test code as much as possible without needing a DB at all, which generally means separating out the code that transfers state between the DB and in-memory structures and code that operates on said structures, but there are definitely times that's not entirely practical. Either way, I can't imagine being keen about mixing UI level code with SQL queries, even if I understand your annoyance with having to define a bunch of DTOs just to handle specific queries (I will say that typescript is actually pretty good for that sort of thing, but not sure if it could help in your case).
Yeah, these were rich people like Jane Austen and Mrs. Percy Bythe Shelley. Copyright makes it possible for the non-rich to create these works and make a living from a willing audience.
1. Over what time frame? Med school takes 4 years and Residency takes 4+. JDs+bar take a few years and earnings take some time to ramp up. PhDs take half a decade (Even if we don't need more faculty, we do have a shortage of PhD supply in industry for fields like CS, Chem E, Biotech-ad, etc. and the median salary for those graduates is quite high with unemployment basically as low as you can go.)

2. Even without graduate education requirements, other fields have loooong ramp-up times but eventually end up doing well.

3. There are also jobs that are extremely valuable to society despite the expense of education (nursing comes to mind, as does teaching).

4. We would end up with stupid boom-bust cycles in labor supply and demand, even worse than what we have now. Reducing labor supply by making loans unavailable increases labor prices eventually, which eventually results in loans becoming available, which saturates supply, and then repeat the cycle every couple decades. Constant idiotic predicable crises. Welcome to myopic financial capitalism, where trust fund kids who never needed to pass their delay differential equations unit have all the power.

So to make this work you need some form of central planning of supply and demand -- by DECADES at a time. Who knew we'd need so many Python programmers in 1980 or even 2000? Which, if that predictive function works, why the FUCK are we using markets anyway?! Cut out the middle man if central planning works. (It doesn't.)

How about we just lose the cold war brain-rot and stop trying to use markets -- a legal fiction and policy tool!!! -- where they make no fucking sense. Markets are an incoherent solution to allocation problems where price signals are EXTREMELY delayed (education) or EXTREMELY coercive (health). Just fund it with tax dollars instead.

The market religion zombie from the red scare era needs to die. The amount of absolute brain rot in the American public caused by the inability to understand that markets are just fucking tools that depend on government coercion anyways is sending our entire society into a death spiral.

It's somehow unsurprising that the one true American religion of the 21st century -- deference to The Troops -- is the place where we're completely okay with socialism in higher education (the military academies).
This is a thorny subject.

Copyrite is, by definition, the control of the rights to copy. It is not a mandate that copying must be done, but rather an acknowledgement of the right to control the copies. And that must also, then, include the right to not distribute the work.

This must be balanced with the notion of fair use, though. However, "but I want to access it" does not justify fair use. "I bought a copy and therefore will make backups so that I may enjoy it in the future" does, in my opinion.

Libraries have exceptions codified in copyrite law. Technology has blurred the line as to what constitutes a library (just as it has for journalists, publishers, etc.).

Some advocate for an escalating fee in order to protect copyrite for more and more time. I don't know if that is appropriate, since it seems to me as a form of extortion of rights. Not quite compelled speech, but similar.

I don't know the solution, but I do feel as though our laws are broken and dysfunctional in this regard. I don't have a solution, though, because I honestly don't know enough of the problem domain. Then again, maybe that's the problem... One should not need to be a legal expert in order to keep from breaking the law!
I think that's a but of a legal gray area... not quite sure.

EDIT:

I decided to crate a google form if you want to get notified:

https://forms.gle/96sGBWFsxgAomG3Q9
Well educated isn't so clearly defined: In general, though, it is having been exposed to a varying number of subjects, be able to read a varying amount of things, have enough general knowledge that they can understand the reason there are "chemicals" in food and the reasons not to mix some household chemicals together. In addition, the person has been able to dive into a particular subject more deeply than the other ones, and understand that other folks have different specialties. While doing this, you are generally exposed to an array of people and if your institutions are fair, they come from mixed backgrounds.

Realistically, the basic information will be similar (basic science, health, reading, history, and so on) but we'll have different areas of interest and skill, so the exact subjects will be individualized to an extent and will definitely change over time as the world changes. You can't say for certain that psychology will make you better educated, but an introduction to the basic field might open someone's mind to being educated in that field, which helps society at large. Other things will be more esoteric: Go to art school, work in retail, and happily make art doesn't have the same sort of immediate payback - but chances are, they are more likely to be a bit compassionate just by having the education.
I tend to think of it this way: it's theoretically within our technological capabilities, and has been for at least a decade. However, it's fractally difficult - there are technical challenges, political issues, PR issues, principal-agent problems, all mixing together - and importantly, there is no strong enough economical (or political) incentive to do it. Not when doing a small fraction of work, and a shitty job at this, still showers you with money while avoiding most of the problems.

> In such a scheme if a work is particularly valuable (either because it's being mass distributed, or because it has value in not being mass distributed), then the owner could maintain the copyright, but it would just be totally financially non-viable for these kinds of abandoned games to remain locked up. There'd be absolutely no business case for it.

Value is in they eye of the beholder. If someone makes $30/month from an indie game they developed 30 years ago, is it ok to take those 30 because they ain't 3 million?

I genuinely like the idea of regularly having to renew the claim to copyright, though.
Or yours “someone” never got to learn how to clean in a structural way, similar to someone who never later learned how to write.

I think, it's a bit difficult to name a particular origin like HyperScript. The idea has been around for a long time. It's actually close to the core of what JS is all about. I personally remember writing a small library for generating (reactive) page UI from hierarchical object definitions in a 2007 project, and I was certainly not the first to so. I wouldn't have thought so for a moment. I did so in the 1990s using document.write() and even then I wouldn't have thought of claiming the idea.
It depends on what you are transmitting, right?

Hypothetically if you are a journalist working with communications from a source in an authoritarian country (or a country that could become authoritarian in the next 4 decades; and name one that couldn’t, right?) it would be no good if you got some elderly person killed in the future.

Or just like bank account details I guess?
> it's to cycle out upper management with more competent replacements

This is a wildly optimistic statement
How will the cops know who to investigate? It seems like a neat version of Precrime a la Philip K. Dick.
> Seems like you're trying to get me to say something wrong.

Listen, if you honestly thought that saying half the stuff you said was right, then I don't know where to start. Imagine landing an interview for a job that will significantly effect where you can afford to live, what you can provide for your kids, and your ability to retire. Now imagine that your hiring manager is making value judgements about you personally, that are based on unfounded opinions he has about how your "culture", and you're passed over for a candidate that comes from a "culture" that he holds in higher regard. This is a real life scenario for millions of Americans, every single day.

You literally used the word "comical" in the previous post. English is not my language, but if I search for a definition, I get: "comical: arousing or provoking laughter".

> I think how you seek me out each time to call me names is.

I agree, it is actually funny, because I don't look for you. As I said, I don't want to be related to DivestOS because you seem toxic. I don't even know or recognize your usernames on the different forums, but somehow I seem to recognize your style ("That person is a bit of a jerk - wait, is it the DivestOS author, again?").

Also I wouldn't say I "seek you out each time to call you names", it's the second time in quite a while (unless there was a third and I had not even realized it was you again?).
