> How do you talk about your failures? The big ones like shutting down your company, going unemployed for months, or getting fired.

OK, those things can be upsetting, and create some unexpected chaos in your life. But if that's the worst you ever have to deal with, you aren't really doing too bad.

"It could be worse" can sound like small comfort, but really, it could be worse.
> News like this always reminds me of how the Western world polluted the earth and then got snippy when the rest of the world started doing the same on scale

That's a simplification to the point of no sense.

The "West" (as someone who grew in "the East" with "the West" being the others, it's weird to me to talk about "the West" with regards to the EU, since my home country is an EU member) doesn't get "snippy" because someone else is doing what they used to do. It's because we have collectively, mostly, realised that those things that were done were terrible, and our morals of today condemn attempts at replicating it. If a Western company was dumping pollution in a river like they used to up until 1960s, you'd get outcry, of course. Germany gets rightfully criticised all the time about their stupid coal policy.

Of course there are the people who still have a colonial outlook (those savages polluting my vacation spots!), but that's not the prevailing attitude. It's our planet, of all of us, and it's understandable that developing countries want to develop further; they should be assisted so that development is as sustainable as possible, for their own sake, but also for humanity and the planet as a whole.
Whoa, they can't surveil the term-unlimited political oligarchy! What a violation of their privacy! 702 is meant for those who are not politicians!
Are wild blueberries = huckleberries? I read that huckleberries are delicious but could not be domesticated, many attempts were made but failed.
Absolutely correct. Also fractional owner of a local brewer for a decade or so. Defintely not insanely profitable. As stated above distribution costs/complications and associated laws are often overlooked. Merchants and bars are a finicky bunch. Taproom sales can fluctuate a lot.
Maybe not from a technical, SEO oriented perspective. However, I feel if you had two websites:

- GlobalWebConsulting.net
- FluffyPickle.blog

One might be slightly more memorable than the other, leading to (maybe?) better return rate/easier recognition as it grows.
>I completely disagree. communication via appearance starts from an early age. Young girls (less than 7 yrs old) try to look pretty.

This is because the behavior is ingrained in biology. But make no mistake behavior ingrained in biology is from selection pressure and that selection pressure is sexual selection. Men select the women who are more interested in making themselves look pretty.

>There is communication too between girls via appearance. boys don’t enter the picture until much later.

The communication is this: If a girl looks prettier she is saying, "I'm better at attracting and manipulating men than you." That's the only thing communicated.

>They communicate with looks.

You're thinking too much. Do men communicate by getting rough and rowdy? Do men communicate by playing sports? Maybe? But the extent of the communication is minimal and it's the same thing with women and looks. There's hidden communication network that men don't know about, that's much to imaginative. Additionally, if such a network existed, some woman would eventually spill the beans.

It's funny how most comments here are on the line of "Slackware was my first distro, I have a soft spot due to the memories, but now I moved on to $MODERNDISTRO...". My case was the exact opposite.

My Linux journey started in May 2000 with Red Hat 6.2 (a Deluxe boxed edition). I then upgraded Red Hat up to 7.2, and then went to Mandrake, from 8.2 and up to 9.2. Then, a special version of dependency hell that was the Mandrake 9.2 framebuffer console forced me to switch to Slackware, which I was already using for experimenting.

This Register article hits it in the nail; Slackware might look primitive but it's in fact quite advanced. It's my regular desktop driver, working as a lawyer, translator and university lecturer. There are many things who are automatically detected and configured, and whatever stuff you had to configure by hand, it lives on legendarily over and over.

I had to configure stuff by hand, yes; but I have configs from those early days almost 20 years ago which still are there, unmodified. They just keep working.

So, if you would like a reasonably stable, fast, modern and simple Linux system, and you are not afraid of using a text editor, then you should give Slackware a try.
the adblock "endgame" will be a self-hosted DNS system that blocks requests to ad-server urls (or return benign responses).

Then the game will switch to encrypted proxied traffic that you cannot block.

Then the adblocking software will switch to the GPU layer, and use machine learning and AI to wipe the region of memory in the GPU containing the ads (and replace it with something benign).

Then the next logical step from likes of google is a fully trusted computing environment - aka, you as an end user no longer control your own machine.

This is entirely predicted by Richard Stallman.

There are certainly market segments (like say cars) which have consolidated to the point where there are a handful of players, and they're all big.

Not yet mention that "big" has a different definition everywhere - I'm going to suggest an arbitrary limit of > 500 employees.

Again, it depends where upu live but if you look gard you'll see most businesses are small. Corner stores. Factories. Plumbers, electricians, car repair, and so on. Franchises.

There are not just "more than 10" tech companies, there are tens of thousands of them. I have 3000 tech customers and they are 99% small (by this definition) and I operate in a market so niche it would make you eyes water.

The vast majority of businesses are tiny. They are not on any stock exchange. They have < 10 employees. You will never read about any of them anywhere.

Beer brewing is very consolidated, but even there micro-breweries are gaining traction. Chances are though that if you bought your beer in a national chain its not a micro brewery.

It's just that it's not true "receiving education" is a requirement for "being intelligent". Get journalists who can do it. Don't hire ones who don't?

Like... I didn't study music or history in college but I know a lot about them. Because I'm not a dumbass and I read books. Being literate on subjects when it's your job to be should not be a high bar.

Well then a planned command-style economy instead of a free market using Marxism as it's motivating principle. I'm guessing most of the western critics of capitalism aren't tankies, so they probably have in mind some sort of democratic ownership of production where people choose degrowth over profit. To the extent that's doable at the scale of nations is unproven. Potential problem is someone like Stalin or Mao will always subvert the movement for their own personal power.
Yes? The position is not that being a good communicator guarantees perfect results every time.

The position is that intentionally being a bad communicator guarantees poor results most of the time.

Same way that not driving drunk does not guarantee you won’t get in a wreck.

They used the Emergencies Act, which is supposed to be used to keep the country safe from terrorism. This was obviously not terrorism, albeit very heavy-handed. This was a police matter to clear them, not something they should have gone through FINTRAC.

The issue is that they can pretty much do whatever they want as long as they have majority, similar to the USA PATRIOT act of 2001.

It's an obvious overreach of the legislation arm.

> they'll use this feature and only permit browsers who implement this to use this site

we as tech early adopters and "leaders" in this space, we need to be telling family and friends to complain to those sites about such required support. If enough people complain to amazon that they don't want to use this google branded browser, i think there will be some pushback and the companies would be hesitant to drop support for firefox.
That's one place for sure, yeah. Video decoding is just resource intensive, especially if it's being done in software. Switching to hardware decoding is a big thing that's still on my todo list.

Beyond that, drawing the timeline efficiently took some work. I spent a bunch of time rewriting it to use WebGL recently, and before that it was some 2D canvas stuff. Plain old DOM elements slow to a crawl when there's 10k+ of them :D

Another little wrinkle is that calling between JS and Rust has a fair bit of overhead, so I try to minimize that and avoid sending lots of data back and forth. I think Tauri v2 is supposed to improve that a lot, but right now it's basically serializing everything to JSON and back. There's an alternative where you can send raw binary back and forth, and I'm using that in some spots. (re: the sibling comment about browser compatibility, I've got some fallbacks in place because old Safari didn't support it, heh)

You linked a revenue forecast.

> In terms of domestic sales, about 64.2 billion U.S. dollars were registered in off-premise retail sales. Only 43.8 billion dollars in on-premise sales were recorded in 2021. While this is an increase from the large decline in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it is still below pre-pandemic levels.

> Craft rebounded in 2021 and saw its largest share of the beer market ever even though dollar sales of craft beer remained below their peak. This indicates that although Americans are drinking less beer overall, they are more often opting for craft brews.

Me to. Agreed.

The bigger the company the further away from the employees and customers the leadership gets, and therefore the less guilty they feel about squeezing every penny out of them.

There is a great book, small giants, about companies that choose to go against this trend and be great instead of large.

Most likely, it's just that the common assumption is that all of Australia is hot and miserable, whereas not all of it is. They're not actually in Lismore, they're near it.

My blueberries fruited without needing frost (we get none where I am in South East Queensland); it's definitely been bred out of them as a requirement I think?

> Profit is not just "extra money for owners", its also the part that provides income security in tough times, that buys new machines, that covers over the slow seasons, that secures cheaper supply lines and a million other things.

This seems like an old-fashioned view on the nature of business. It may have been true 50 or 60 years ago (at least) but I think it's the exception rather than the rule today. Cutting loose your employees is what provides income security in tough times (for the employees not cut loose). Loans buy new machines. If you have a couple slow seasons you'll simply be bought by some private equity firm, loaded up with debt, then driven into the dirt along with any pension obligations etc., the firm may have had.

To the extent they actually are trying to escape, they're idiots, since making any other planet (Mars) habitable is way harder and more costly than dealing with climate change. The Earth will retain a breathable atmosphere, shielded from radiation with surface liquid water and life that can adapt to a warmer climate. There's no realistic climate scenario in which Earth becomes Venus. That would require a far worse run-away greenhouse effect than has ever occurred on this planet. Most likely Venus had massive ongoing volcanic activity that surpassed any in Earth's history. The dinosaurs evolved in a world with four times the CO2 that we have today. Earth won't become uninhabitable, however serious climate change becomes. That's just not a thing.
On macOS, Safari releases are independent of OS releases and show up as separate updates as and when they’re released. They may coincide on the date sometimes. It’s not like iOS where Safari updates never show up as separate updates, and are bundled with iOS updates.

I bought a few stickers this guy made while Dead and Company were in town playing their last concert ever.

It was a sticker done in the style of the traditional Anchor Brewing logo, but said Dead and Company instead of Anchor brewing.

Only when writing all at once and when you know what the shard boundaries are and the number of shards (and boundaries) are stable. If they’re changing, growing, et c. you can’t tell where they’re at predictably and random is the least likely to cause problems and allow sub-sharding dynamically.

Very large real world datasets are unlikely to be static long enough, and equipment stable enough, to not consider this effect.
Two of the points are lack of evidence; these would be more compelling to me if I felt that our viral surveillance was robust. The first point is circumstantial like the wet market evidence.

now, I get crap like this:

No, but, you should get excellent results. Once the model is loaded, it should be able to take full advantage of the GPU assuming you have a model that will fit within the VRAM of the GPU. Many higher end ML workstations that offer multiple GPU support on the motherboard, e.g. six and eight way GPUs at least, such as those from ASUS, use a PLX controller which is effectively splitting the bandwidth of one or two PCIe ports across multiple devices. And an eGPU dock is effectively a PLX for a single device talking to Thunderbolt. Device to device communication should still retain the full PCIe bandwidth capability, and you can see that reported in the screenshots of the article. The biggest issue is obviously going to, as always, be driver support. You could even consider an 8-way GPU "dock" such as the Cubix where you could plug your $1,500 laptop into 8x A100 80GB GPUs. 16 GPUs if you cascade them.

Any small business owner will tell you its always a fight to survive, much less grow. There's no right to survive and most don't.

But they survive by focusing on more they just profit. They survive by understanding long-term value over short-term profit. They embed into a community. They treat employees well, they treat customers well, they care about environment (inside and outside), fairness and do on.

The stereotypical "MBA" gets a hard time because they only care about short-term profit. This quarter results. They sell the soul of the business and all they get is money. They refusecs refund, but lose a customer forever.

Of course this is a caricature, and most MBAs - certainly the good ones - know where to press, but at the same time understand that the business needs balance. That being around next year is more important than this months targets.
>Conflating serverside generated code to native app restrictions is nonsensical, they are not the same thing

You did it first. Attestation has nothing to do with extentions.

>Building a website that reliably blocks Linux is hard, borderline impossible

With attestation doesn't reveal what OS you are using, so it owned still be impossible to reliably block Linux.

>And there is a ton of evidence that attestation will be used for DRM and to prevent adblocking

Please share it.

>It's a content decision made to block users from altering the client/content (ie, exactly what adblockers do).

The difference is that web browsers allow extentions, but the Netflix app doesn't.

>uBlock Origin already objectively runs worse on Chrome than Firefox

I use it just fine on Chrome and do not see any ads.

>Chrome's Manifest V3 API is worse for adblockers.

It has the same API for blocking ads. The API for blocking network requests is what changed.

>You can't even consistently keep up the charade of arguing that this isn't about adblockers for two comments before accidentally slipping into arguments that the advertisers are the real victims.

FLOC is about trying to get advertisers to stop invading people's privacy. You shouldn't be surprised that advertisers are a stakeholder when talking about FLOC. Advertisers are as important stakeholder in the web in general. In regards to attestation there are more stakeholders than just users and advertisers since security is important to almost any type of service on the internet.

>I have no idea how on earth anyone paying attention to the direction of the web could come to the conclusion that those proposals didn't have problems

The direction is not going away from web extentions and I don't see anything going after adblock extentions.

The intent may genuinely be to help decrease bot activities versus human activities.

Even the ad example is about not charging advertisers for bot views, which is a huge problem right now.

The problem is that a tool can often be used for evil as easily as for good, and the more the standard was used to block ad blockers over simply filtering out User Agent spoofing bots, the more this tool ends up evil.

And even if the limited scope in the proposal was the true intent, there's nothing preventing scope creep.

Though reading over it all, I do think the assumption of motivations in most of the comments here are misaligned. This does seem to be primarily focused on the issue of growth in bot activity and making it harder on bots to act as if human to servers.

Still, the spirit of who controls the client is very much at stake, and the comments here are ostensibly right that this is a measure that should not happen.

(And frankly, given the bubbling attitudes about enshittification coupled with the coming lowered barrier of entry for competition against software firms and content production, I think this is very much the kind of thing that may backfire horribly if forced though.)
