They are enabled by default in most web server daemons and are widely used [1]. ETags can negatively affect performance under certain conditions and some choose to disable it and instead use their CMS to do other cache busting techniques in combination with cache-control headers that seem to evolve with time the combination of techniques that is. There are probably better and more detailed statistics out there than what I found or at least there better be with the number of bots I see hourly.

This is something I really hate in KDE- you choose date/time formats with a dropdown of flags, and it doesn't even give you a preview of the short format, so you have to cycle through hundreds of options and click-click-click each to find what you want, when all that's needed is [Language] + [yyyy-mm-dd HH:MM]* (or whatever) format string.

there are far fewer format options than countries, so this is an exercise in frustration

Spending time doing what? Killing mobs? For what purpose?

Killing mobs should be a means to an end like cosmetics/achievements/trophies and those usually give you bragging's rights.

So ok, all zones are viable to spend time in D4. What do you gain with that?
Vim has the potential to do a lot of stuff. It is extensible to a point that you can build any JetBrains' IDE with it (their main selling point is the code analysis part). But right out of the box, editing is its only strong point.

GUI is more discoverable than terminal software. You open a project with WebStorm, it can already understand it, and you can configure a build process in a few clicks.
Being damn good enough to warrant a comparison to Einstein, even if it to mention that you fall short, makes you pretty damn remarkable

There's a BBC documentary that suggest contrails and pollutants help block the sunlight from reaching the earth, and that the airspace lockdown lead to a slight warming: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7p6z05

But newer research says the Covid reduction of flights caused only very small warming (and not even cooling):

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

> The global response to the 2020 coronavirus pandemic led to a reduction in global air traffic of nearly 70% relative to 2019. Thus, it provided an extended opportunity to study the impact of contrails on regional and global temperature. Multiple studies found "no significant response of diurnal surface air temperature range" as the result of contrail changes, and either "no net significant global ERF" (effective radiative forcing) or a very small warming effect. On the other hand, the decline in sulfate emissions caused by the curtailed road traffic and industrial output during the COVID-19 lockdowns did have a detectable warming impact: it was estimated to have increased global temperatures by 0.01–0.02 °C initially and up to 0.03 °C by 2023, before disappearing.
The thing is, you (we) only identify chatGPT generated content when it has that generic voice. Maybe there's a lot more generated content here, but it isn't so obvious. It's a selection bias, we see mostly what's easy to see.
> One of your sources is selling cook tops

Yes, both gas and electric. See also their video "Induction Cooking: Pros and Cons - Part 1":

* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AduTdSF3_go

And "Induction vs Pro Gas Cooking: Pros & Cons":

* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hoWqMTUBT_4

> Induction can be good, but it's very expensive and uses enormous amounts of electricity.

Currently more than resistive electric, and some gas ranges. Define "enormous". Because about two-thirds of US households already use electricity as the cooking fuel source:

* https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=37552

And induction would probably use it more efficiently since the energy goes directly to the pan. So if more folks switched from the coil-resistive electric stoves they most likely already have to induction there would be a net reduction in energy use.

> There is nothing wrong with natural gas - other than it's trendy to push electric currently.

And the fact that it's highly inefficient, throws oodles of heat into your kitchen, and methane is a greenhouse gas (GWP>>1)—but besides that Mrs. Lincoln…. See also perhaps Adam Ragusea on his own gas stove:

Sorry, re-reading my comment I could see how my comment may sound offensive and if it does I appologize, that wasn’t the intention. And I do agree with your reasoning from your angle. But do consider other angles so we don’t disagree unnecessarily when we may in fact see the whole picture from different angles.
For Windows and Mac OS native is clearly defined by the OS libraries that arenpvoded by the company.

For Linux to look very native you need to define the desktop environment. For stock Debian and Gnome desktop GTK bindings will look native. For OpenSuse with KDE QT will look more native.
BSDi actually helped FreeBSD develop SMP support. FreeBSD's "SMPng", the basis for the SMP facilities in the kernel today, was started roughly 23 years ago, with the help of BSDi engineers, as well as donations of code.

I find this quite cynical.

The same executives who want to steal the wages of the writers and actors are responsible for the quality and range of productions. It is only a handful of directors who get full creative license.

I agree that good sci-fi is rare but don’t think that my personal dissatisfaction should result in many thousands of already exploited people who put in incredibly hard work, their heart and souls in what they do, to go jobless - because you and I don’t like how their bosses, the same bosses who are trying to squash them, do their jobs.

> But doctors are people, too, and he and I built an easy, informal rapport. I'm certain he wouldn't have said it if he wasn't sure I'd laugh in response.

Maybe, but even still, this is the type of remark that could easily get a doctor fired. Most people err on the side of caution for remarks that could get them fired, even if they're sure it would come off correctly as a joke.
Fair, that makes sense too, but that part of "now stuff will be black holed" is what I think wasn't particularly anticipated from either side. Especially from the streamer's side: now you've spent money on shows that aren't even gaining you "niche back catalog size" benefits.
I think you need to ask a more precise question, because I honestly don’t know how to answer that.

Yes, and that’s because they’re focused on quantity over quality. And if that’s your strategy, you can do it with AI.

Every single Netflix show is available on the pirate bay, but Netflix still insists on using DRM.
I don't care if the web is relevant if it's not the web anymore. Ruining a platform to keep it relevant isn't in my interest as a user.

If we shoot this down and every bank requires me to download a mobile app, then fine. What this is proposing is basically to turn websites into mobile apps: device controlled, unmodifiable, broken on any non-approved hardware. If that's going to be the case regardless, I'd rather just download the app, at least that would be more honest about what's actually going on, and at least I'd still be able to use my adblocker when I browse the web.
Each year, I put up lists of interesting papers I've read across CS, math, econ, etc. Here's the list from 2022: https://bcmullins.github.io/interesting-articles-2022/.

That should give you dozens of recommendations and a bit of rationale for them.

It's hard to say what best means, but some papers play their part better than others. Not every paper should change the field, nor should they all be the length of a novel.
Yeah, and now all your creds are available for everyone to see. Instead use IAM authentication for RDS, or if it's impossible, store creds in SSM or Secrets Manager.

Yeah, it's not fully transactional, but it will work fine in practice.

This seemed like a pretty tortured explanation of what's going on here, as though the punching bag was selected before the mechanism was figured out. Then I realized the guy they were citing was Adam Conover, who drafts explanations like that for a living. Mystery solved.

Is Netflix a Silicon Valley company? I think so.

The article claims the trend of going big on streaming started at Netflix and the more traditional players followed along. It seems a reasonable claim.
Relative young'un here, my first introduction to Linux was Ubuntu 12.04 in 2013, when I was in elementary school :). The very first day I installed it, I managed to disable admin access for my user, so I had the pleasure of obtaining a recovery root shell and learning about the sudoers file.

These days I run Arch Linux, which is the closest I can get to total control of every aspect of my system (without sacrificing prebuilt binary packages - I do not have the patience to wait for my browser to be built from scratch!). I'm quite happy with my understanding of the modern Linux stack! Though I still look longingly at the early days of Linux, when you really had to do everything yourself, and bringing up a Linux system from scratch was worth serious bragging rights.

Do you think I would gain something by trying out Slackware today in 2023? Perhaps see how Linux used to work in the good old days, without SystemD or a fully working Xorg? And should I do so with modern Slackware, or an older version to truly experience the floppy install process (hardware support may be an issue--might try to source an ancient Thinkpad)?
Crypto is the opposite of the gold standard. Instead of backing currency with a physical object with inherent value, it's backed by absolutely nothing and grows at a pace governed by people whose primary goal is to benefit off a pyramid scheme.

Fiat currency gets a bad rap because it can be mismanaged, but a metal backed currency isn't compatible with rapid growth and we've yet to find a better alternative.
They're also on strike over rather mundane things like residual payments, which have been very low for some streaming shows.

The AI bit is just much more exciting to talk about, for everyone involved.
I don't read a lot of papers TBH, so YMMV. I liked the Meltdown & Spectre papers from https://meltdownattack.com/.

What did I like about these papers? The content I guess. :p Come to think of it, the accompanying website is good too. Much better than just the paper!
And you still also haven’t come up with a reasonable way to “break up the BigTech”. If you ban the sale of apps with in game purchases that still doesn’t break up tech
Then Linux isn’t free either, since you have to buy hardware to run it on.

It for sure is something that people are trying to do. The weird Twitch AI Seinfeld jumps to mind. You can find a few different versions by just searching "script writing AI" or "Movie making AI" but I have no desire to sift through that trash pile. I think we're pretty far away from making something that is appealing outside of the novelty or "so bad it's good."

On the other hand, I'm not sure if you couldn't just use AI to write/generate a lot of children's programming. It's already highly formulaic, parents only halfass pay attention to it, and kids are exactly highly decerning critics. Sure some kids might be very misguided and confused by the AI media babysitter, but is that really any different than what we already have?
No one (or very few people) wants to give up luxuries like beach holidays in Thailand, electronic gadgets, steak. And if they do and someone else still get to enjoy them (e.g. billionaires, or just the wealthier Westerners), they get resentful - I think India got quite mad about "The West" dictating that people should travel less, "How fair", they say, "Westeners have been having good food and seeing the world for decades, and now when it's affordable to the poorer nations, Western leaders say 'how about we make it more expensive (e.g. by Carbon tax) so less people do it'."

This is such a tired argument.

Nobody said anything rich vs poor or employed people (who are the only people who own pots and pans) vs unemployed (who are the only people who have time to cook, apparently)

You know beans come in cans, right? And you can buy already baked bread.

It's convenience, again. We not only love ready made food so much well drastically overpay to have it delivered.
There's a two speed economy. If you're in the low speed part earning less than the median then you're already in recession. If you're in the high speed part you will be in recession when you stop being able to extract money from the low speed economy.
This is important for "smaller" models, because you don't have to waste some of the potential "intelligence" (parameter space) on training it how to generate valid JSON or YAML or anything like that.

Ask HN: Strategies for Quitting Nicotine?
Seeing as this community is made up majorly of hackers, one’s with very ingenious methods of dealing with issues, I’d like to know if anyone has any creative strategies for quitting nicotine? I’ve stopped smoking and have vaped for nearly a year now, but I still find myself struggling to put it down. I’m aware of the health implications, which any (former) addict will knows can sow a seed of self pity, yet every waking moment I am still as reliant on this chemical.

This is likely an unpopular question, as tobacco and nicotine use has dropped drastically (as I’ve learned) over the last several years, so this may be downvoted into oblivion.

However based on threads about quitting or limiting (social) media addictions, I know this community can produce some creative strategies to change one’s behavior, dare I say “life hacks”.
Reportedly the 3-stooges were ripped off by the studios who also hid or obstructed or misrepresented how much their stuff made.

But closer today ... I had a two year debate (80s/90s) on Japan conquering some 30% of the US market. The other guy argued state support and price dumping by the Japanese. I argued laziness on the part of American management who did not take quality and process control seriously. I also critiqued US auto labor unions for loosing their minds ie both of them ... since that time and since the decimation of unions since the 60s/70s today's corporate managers are virtually guaranteeing labor will return to strong unions ... stupid pay packages, bad fiscal control, and attempting to squeeze labor hard. ceos will create and legitimize them.
How does one even begin to refute these claims (assuming they're not completely nonsensical and baseless) without you simply calling them one of the "mind-controlled" or one of those doing the controlling?

Anyways, post some sources or actual concrete information if you want anyone to take you seriously. I'm trying really hard not to make a joke that involves the title of the article at your expense.
> For fun, consider that if netflix had stuck to the DVD model, they could still be profitable.

Netflix is earning multiple billions of dollars in profit per year already, far more than they used to with DVDs.

Also, I expect most people to prefer digital only streaming to any device they have at any time over having to deal with physical disks and single locations.
Very well written

Enjoyed the analysis, thanks for sharing.
I think the more compelling tale is that Hollywood execs are infected with Wall Street thinking. Maximum profit extraction, the kind of product is irrelevant, as are the customers.
I think this is tinfoil hat energy. The power adapter can't provide any meaningful information. I leave it on for days sometimes when I'm not even in the yard. Does that mean I was home or not home? Totally irrelevant. It doesn't have its own screen and once it's synced to my Google home I don't even have to think about it. Google home even lets you setup automations based on sunset and sunrise. How does that figure into this data?

Credit score? Seriously? Really?
any creative strategies

Vape shops should be able to get you vape juice that is your current mg of nicotine, then help you move down in 3mg decrements until you reach 0mg. Or if you can't get to or stay at 0mg try out patches or gum which is at least easier on the lungs.
I don’t know what bytecode really is in this context, but a plain old vector image is a program too, so i don’t know of any process which would (in US law) let you convert a font into something public-domain.

(other than rasterizing text with it, at which point the output is not a “font” in the sense we usually mean when we use that term.)
The virtual people are coming, the generated scripts are coming, the generated worlds are coming, the glue code is coming. It can probably match the standard sausage. I doubt people will watch a lot of it but who knows. The market for hand made sausage will decline.
4K uses h265 though, so I’d bet it achieves quite a bit better quality per bit.
I believe this is not quite right. I think it's due to the blood brain barrier. Brain tissue has only limited capability for anaerobic respiration compared to the rest of the body, can't metabolise fats for energy, and has no ability to store glycogen (which happens in muscle tissue and the liver), so any glucose has to get sent up there by other systems.
And if your area's electricity grid goes down?

Even France had a problem with keeping their nuclear power plant running last year, the rivers didn't have enough water for cooling, and they weren't allowed to dump overly heated water because it would hurt the environment, so the only solution was to reduce production...

> i commit to taking full responsibility for the circumstances of my life, and my physical, emotional, mental and spiritual wellbeing

No thanks. This is a uniquely neoliberalist perspective on the collective human experience. The sentiment is toxic because much of the circumstance of ones life in the 21st century is not under their control at all.
That's exceedingly unlikely. My wife's a doctor and enjoys joking with her patients. I know some of them from outside her office, and there are a couple she jokes pretty roughly with. Those specific patients love it, and tell me things like "I love your wife. She's my only doctor who talks to me like a person." They trust her more for that, meaning she can provide better healthcare to them.

Being a professional doesn't mean leaving your humor at the door. It does mean tailoring your communication to each patient/client/customer.
Imho, in the context of a GUI library, native would mean it has the native look and feel of the platform and the performance.

This usually means the app is written in exactly the same language/framework/libraries as the built-in, pre-installed core apps.

Nowadays, users don't seem to care all that much though, and will tolerate a lot of crap and bloated apps, as long as it gets the job done.
I’m already down to 3mg. I suppose I could buy a bottle of 0mg and a bottle of 3mg, but I would have to approximate to lower my dosage, which considering the addiction is partially physical behavior, feels like this strategy is prone to error (or relapse?).

Edit: when my “normal” dosage becomes _lower_, and I’m trying to approximate an even lower dose.
> If we imagine a world in which streaming platforms were only ever licensees and not producers, it’s easy to imagine the status quo could have continued indefinitely.

That'd have been great, but they studios decided they wouldn't license their content to them. Instead they went off to make their own streaming services, with their content exclusive to it. They effectively forced Netflix to start making content, or face an empty catalog.

There is a reason some governments previously blocked studios from owning theaters. It leads to goofy behavior.
