As a complete Jitsi newb, I went here, and I'm confused.

https://jitsi.org/downloads/

> If you want to run Jitsi on your own desktop or server, you can download Jitsi Desktop, Jitsi Meet and all Jitsi related projects below.

But I don't see any download links for "Desktop" or "Meet". Is the text on the page just outdated?

Given some more web digging, it seems like that page should (but doesn't) link to the real download page: https://desktop.jitsi.org/Main/Download.html
Instead of Googling, workflow seems to be for me Phind -> Kagi -> ChatGPT and just then Google. Times change.
Some combination of increased weight, increased torque, or removal of the "coasting" state from EV's leads many folks to experience reduced life on their tires compared to ICE platforms. Obviously your experience may differ, but in my experience it is common enough to mention to provide a fair viewpoint.

I understand where you're coming from, and if you really want to have a username and password - yes, you should be let in. You should always be able to manually authenticate if you really want to. But I'm arguing that's it's time to automate and hide that process from the user experience. (multi-factor auth is another topic... let's put that aside for now..)

But the reality is that memorizable passwords simply does not scale in any world where we have to authenticate with so many services. It's time to shift paradigms. When you take a step back, it's clear that we're trying to shim a new password keeper system into an old password input field paradigm, and it makes no sense and it's holding us back.

Agreed that no one should be forcing a proprietary authenticator service on anyone. On the contrary, to avoid that, we need an open standard that is cross-compatible between proprietary services.

The open standard should make it easy for any browser, password keeper, multi-factor auth system etc to speak the same language and "just work" instead of hacking around with auto-filling password input fields for no reason. We're so stuck in an old way of thinking that we can't see that the password input field is vestigial and is only making everyone's experience worse.
The scrolling is indeed terrible.
That's really cool! Was it as simple as running `devbox add livebook@latest`? Or did you need to configure it in any way?
HN is a forum attached to a venture capitalist company. The idea that it is in any way left-leaning is farcical.

Think of webworkers as forked subprocesses. You can create them from a script interact, then kill them.

They're basically the future of any serious web first PWA where you're not even concerned about a server doing anything.
Neat :) A friend used a wiper motor from a 1943 Jeep and a very long piece of string to rock his kids cradle because otherwise he wouldn't sleep.
On this dual nature, can it be that the electron cloud is the electron itself? i.e. it's not a point-like particle that jumps around, but it's the probability function itself, that upon interaction with another cloud-particle may shrink into a tiny ball-like cloud, but never a point. In atoms, electrons interact in such a way that they assume curious drum-like shapes, but when they are set free somewhere in the interstellar space, the same electron will be a gigantic planet-size, albeit very thin, cloud. Edit: continuing this speculation, in the double-slit experiment an electron passes thru both slits, then shrinks into an atom-size cloud upon contact with the screen, and a "weak measurement" would be a way to slightly disturb the shape of the electron, to correspondingly disturb the shape of the detector.
I enjoy the fact that the study’s author is named Yuzhang Li.
As a teenager, a friend and I built an underwater rocket, with the idea that a solid model rocket engine would burn when submerged, provided we could get it lit. We started with an Estes model rocket (https://estesrockets.com/products/mosquito IIRC), inserted the engine and igniter, and sealed the entire exhaust end of the engine with hot glue, as well as around the seams elsewhere. We installed a standard launch pad in a big trash bin filled with water (our original idea of swimming into a lake was quickly scrapped) and wired everything up.

It worked. The rocket actually launched from underwater! But by the time it reached the surface, the drag of the water had ripped two of the fins off, so the in-air portion was pretty wild. We even caught the whole thing on 8mm film (this was in the early 90s).
I chose luajit for my language and while I agree with many of your points I really miss a typesystem. Somewhat ironically I'm working on a typesystem for luajit..

I also wish it was a bit more performant, but here it's likely my medium to high level code and not luajit's fault. However running the test suite in plain Lua seem some order of magnitude slower than luajit, so it's a lot faster than plain Lua at least.
Drafting you an email now, thanks!

Once we started thinking of creative works simply and only as material consumed for entertainment this was the natural and maybe only endpoint.

But even bad art is an expression of human experience, and interacting with it an act of human connection. Maybe this distinction will become more clear and relevant, or maybe we'll be successfully convinced that it doesn't exist at all.

Either way though wanting to be entertained with no regard for the human costs of the entertainment is an understandable impulse but one that we should be prepared to fight in ourselves. Otherwise why not just watch a bloodsport? Likely more entertaining than AI-chum sitcoms or whatever.
A modular synthesizer! I designed the case in CAD, put it online for free, and it got kinda popular in the DIY synth community. Some companies are making it.

I built all modules from scratch with my own circuit designs too. Mostly novel designs, especially in oscillators and filters. A lot of JFETs being used to control voltages, amplitudes, etc. It was unstable and non-linear but had its charm :)
It's definitely a challenge, but another good thing about HN is people link alternatives in threads like this. I'm already checking out Jitsi (mentioned up thread) and it looks awesome. It's even open source:

Man I miss WriteNow
I was naive about vims encryption. I did not realize that an encryption key is not the same as a password. It is much more feasible to brute force vim's encryption than to brute force a login for example. And if I am not mistaken the feature has been removed from vim now.

I think you'd get a lot less pushback if you mentioned that you squash every branch before merging in your original comment. That actually seems like a pretty good policy if you can keep your branches relatively small.
You don't use any service that has analytics or internal error reporting? So no AWS, GCP, Cloudflare, MS Office, etc?

I pray that society can move past the desire to protect jobs and embrace the ability to kill them. Imagine checking the news and hearing that through AI and automation, we'd eliminated another 3% of unwanted jobs and those people were free to enjoy other pursuits.

The growing jobless rate would be a cause for celebration. People who automate industries would be heroes instead of being cursed by the poor who are now out on the street.

Our values got messed up somewhere. (I'm not from a work obsessed culture though, so I expect I will be told why work is actually the greatest and noblest thing on Earth, and I will roll my eyes)
Does anyone know why the decision to ban it? Was it a move that had a relatively higher injury rate compared to other high difficulty moves?
Thank you for asking! The art world is kinda funky.
Internationalization is the coolest part of this to me. As a native english speaker, I've often tried (and ultimately failed) to understand what it must be like as a programmer of another native language to work in a codebase with english keywords, english names for everything, english comments...
This works really well, even on mobile safari. Nice work!
Everyone is different. Thus everyone is treated differently.

> You just justify it by tortured logic based on your traditional superstitions.

Why are the American left so obsessed with religion? You seem to think it is the basis for all disagreement with your absurd views. Guess what: almost everyone in the world disagrees with you. And it isnt on religious grounds.

> As far as making that the law, that's exactly what happened. Eich and his fellow ethically-challenged smallbrains then changed the constitution so that the law no longer applied.

So you are making an argument that one group of people are allowed to unilaterally pass laws that redefine common terms, but you say that anyone trying to undo that illogical change is "trying to change the definition"?

Do you not see how hypocritical that is?

Also FYI, insulting people doesn't make your argument look stronger. It just makes you look very desperate. I know that American leftists almost never have to justify their views to anyone and have no practice defending them, but try a little harder.
yeah it's extremely shady business imo, especially since all the major ones are owned by the same group who then apply a similar business model to all of them.
(not the person you’re asking, but I have an opinion)

For beginners who want to learn how things work — Slackware. That distribution guarantees the beginner will soon graduate to a non-beginner status, or understand that it’s not for them. It’s a really quick result. Ubuntu et al. just make it so people stay beginners forever.

I really like the Arch trend among beginners; it doesn’t quite have the educational value of Slackware, but at least they try.

For people who just want to use a computer for normal things I’d recommend an immutable distribution that doesn’t break (Fedora Silverblue / openSUSE Aeon) and a friend who can help (ideally — with remote access). The second component is essential with any OS.
I'd not trust anyt webworkers as a jail.

Look into quickjs if you want untrusted JavaScript in the browser.

A quick read suggests it's note wiring iframe comes which requires another abstractions.
Nah. In this case it genuinely wasn't intended to be bad (almost certainly). We can tell because the sexual meaning of grope makes absolutely no sense in the context of `dig`, while the non-sexual meaning does. We can exonerate the original authors. It's still good that it's been changed since.
You can also hide the logic away in F#:

let calcDiscount =
function
| Percentage p -> subtotal * (decimal p / 100M)
| FixedAmount f -> f

And then:

let totalDiscount =
discount
|> Option.map calcDiscount
|> Option.defaultValue 0M

F# is missing some of the convenience operators, but you could easily add these yourself if you wanted:

let (?) x f = Option.map f x
let (|?) x y = Option.defaultValue y x

and so totalDiscount becomes:

let totalDiscount = discount ? calcDiscount |? subtotal

The benefit of DU's over inheritance for me is that you can't tie yourself to any additional details that get stuck onto Discount (since you can't extend DU's). If you have loosely coupled data you won't have sort-of-relevant methods possibly mutating shared state. The discount calc only takes a simple thing hidden away by the Discount DU, and so there are fewer plates you're trying to keep spinning in your head (all of "what could be").
I think my vote goes to ColdFusion.
What’s outrageous is Google’s BS reasoning for dropping the format.

They claim lack of interest when they (and Firefox) have been hiding JPEGXL support behind flags (and nightlies in the case of FireFox) yet WebP and AVIF is fully supported despite their similarly niche status.

Chrome’s support for JPEGXL was also already more or less complete when they decided to drop it.

Ironically though it has brought a lot of publicity to JPEGXL as “the format Google is trying to kill” in a Streisand effect sort of way. But with Chrome’s dominance that’s not enough to give it a fighting chance until Apple quietly announced support for it.
I think it's more of a needed mental shift than years or effort that is the stumbling block.

You don't need to pick up a lot of keybinds in order to be fairly productive at text editing in vim.

The extra stuff will just make you more productive, maybe asymptomatically.
The History of Superconductors (Before LK-99)
Why? Because we are in "late stage capitalism".

Capitalism is ultimately self defeating.

Companies strive to reduce labor costs and thus inflate the bottom line --- with the savings mostly accruing to those at the top.

But paying out less in wages will eventually shrink the available market for the products and services the companies produce.

Capitalists have traditionally sought out new markets to combat this issue. But now, there are few new markets left --- and consequently, the system is stagnating and drowning in debt and trending toward collapse.
That wasn't how it was explained to me. As I understood it, Honda Random American Subsidiary retained the benefit of the tax credit somehow, without (obviously) a personal income test. Whatever the case was, the overall effect was that I paid about the same price for the car as I would have paid if I had purchased it and received the EV rebate, for which I was not eligible.
My favorite feature of Raku: Integer division and decimal literals both return `Rat`, a rational fraction type. Even though everyone knows floats suck, nobody is actually moving away from them except Raku. If you want a float literal you specifically have to use scientific notation.
I just explained why that is not true. Repeatedly asserting the truth of disproven allegations makes you just look desperate.
How does this add up with E2EE?

They claim they can’t read anything passing through the server. Is there some other way they’ll get access?

I don't think CISA has anything close to the powers required to compel that level of top down action. This strategic plan has clearly been crafted to be at least somewhat attainable given their current remit and capabilities.
I can't help but use AWS but I definitely don't use that other stuff. That it's laden with spyware is one of the main reasons.

Especially for video communication, I'm not going to let some 3rd party spy on me and my business if I don't have to.
Similar story, I used to be really into cooking and baking.

I still have photos of sourdough bread, pizza, croissants, cakes, elaborate dishes...

And then I started having weird health issues (auto immune crap, aka doctor speech for "we have no clue what we're talking about but you're screwed") and debilitating stomach pain.
I was on a 95% vegan diet and I switched to paleo, which seemed to help a bit but still caused occasional pain.
After suffering for 2 years and tired of doctors not finding a solution, I tried the carnivore diet.

I pretty much cook the same steak every day and then some eggs or some more meat.

If I eat vegetables I get the taco-bell treatment.
If I eat too many carbs over a short period of time I feel bloated and my gallbladder is not happy.
Fruit is ok but I'm not a fan of getting too much sugar into me.

Goodbye croissants.
An entire 1000 sq ft condo -- was a 1920's hovel on the top floor of a walkup, now is a modern living space with a great layout, fantastic light, and all the amenities.

Took me four years of evenings and weekends while working full-time to fund it.
> I suspect you'd see fewer people driving if it was 1 in 10

Everybody dies, and I need to get to work/see grandma/go to the grocery. People drove about as much in the 60s, when the per-vehicle mile travel deaths in the US were 5 times what they are today.
Here's a depressing thought: I'm from the Netherlands. We're dense and have small roads and parking spots. So monster trucks like these are impractical, expensive to own (road tax based on weight) and expensive to drive due to the poor mileage and high gas prices.

None of these things seems to matter. I'm in my 40s and can't remember seeing a single car like this in my entire life until about 5 years ago. Now I very regularly see them, they're on the rise.

Some people just want to have a huge fucking truck for no apparent rational or adult reason. And it seems that as they make an appearance, it inspires others.

It fits in a generic pattern I'm seeing around me. People with disposable wealth will spent it on ridiculous life "upgrades" that make no rational sense. I'm seeing giant houses being built whilst there's 1-2 people living in it, and most of the day nobody at all. I'm talking about homes with so much space that you don't know what to do with it. Just because you can.

In these times of energy transition and ultra high energy prices, I see neighbors investing in an outdoor sauna.

It's not that I want to police what people can or cannot spent their money on, I'm just saying it's way out of bounds. Beyond the reasonable. Excessive resource usage with no immediate purpose by any stretch of the imagination.

But I'll also come to terms with the idea that perhaps I'm not that much better. My guilty pleasure is annual very remote travel, which as we know is a massive contributor to CO2 output.

If taxation or discouragement does not have the desired effect and banning is difficult if not unwanted, my conclusion is that behavioral change is not to be expected much from.

It's not absurd at all, which is why it's interesting to watch people who have never fathomed this try to come to grips with it.

There is so much of this country completely unserved by sidewalks, busses, or cycling infrastructure. And it's fine. It works.

And in one sentence you've nailed its value proposition perfectly. That's what is so special about it.

Did google cite patents as one of the reasons they removed support initially? I thought it was all around lack of benefits and difficulty of maintenance.
My 2500k could go up to 4.9 but the juice eventually lead to some massive degradation. It lasted me for 8 years until I jumped to a 3700x and now a 5800x3d.

I like the performance but my next CPU is going to be 65w again. These things are hot. But not hot enough to jump on a 7800x3d.

Funny how the best gaming CPU is 65w but the best GPU is about 8 times that. Heat and noise are important
Zoom's lawyers are trying to pull a fast one with these revised Terms. The new sentence on user consent being required to train AIs applies only to "Customer Content," not "Service Generated Data."

In sec. 10.4, Zoom says "... Zoom will not use audio, video or chat Customer Content to train our artificial intelligence models without your consent."

Customer Content is defined in 10.1 and is broadly worded. But the first sentence of sec. 10.2 clearly states that "Customer Content" does NOT include "Service Generated Data."

Therein lies the rub. "Service Generated Data" = "any telemetry data, product usage data, diagnostic data, and similar content or data that Zoom collects or generates in connection with your or your End Users’ use of the Services ...." (sec. 10.2).

Zoom is allowed to use Service Generated Data for any purpose (sec. 10.2) because it is not "Customer Content."

This "clarification" does nothing meaningful to assuage the serious data privacy concerns posed by Zoom's use of captured user video content.
ah. yeah, if you are doing web programming. then for F#, you would use a library that is really like a DSL for the web. One of the things in practice in F#, it seems the most useful libraries are written as DSL's, so it is like a language extension for doing 'whatever'. To really get these web based ones, need to understand "ELM architecture".

In any case. I get it. If you have done ASP.NET, and C#, then suddenly this F# way of building web pages by programming through combining functions, it is hard to get over the hump. Like brain has to re-change how to think through the whole flow.
Really, F# on the web is like ELM.

But on many city streets a very large percentage of heavy vehicles are... public buses. Not sure it makes sense to shift the cost for road repair to the public transit agency.
My solution is two cars. An efficient commuter a truck for hauling and recreation.

It is a shame that registration and insurance doesn't operate on miles driven, and disincentives this.
That’s exactly what you want in a language. It should always feel like cheating!

What’s almost never mentioned in countless articles on this saga is that most of these so called American publishing houses are wholly foreign owned. If the merger had gone through, at least 4 of the big 5 would have been foreign owned
I totally disagree. GUIs inevitably confuse people about git. I have never met anyone that used a GUI for git that actually understood it.
Transducers were at least 20 years old when Clojure was first created. I have the book "Common Lisp: the language" from 1989 that describes transducers as found in Clojure.

Clojure is the only language where it is baked in that prominently though.
Because with the things going that way you won't be able to make a good living should you decide to return home and for many people that would sound like a bad investment anyway.

Huge pet peeve of mine, this militaristic way of thinking. Even police are civilians -- every one is, except for actual soldiers. Cops love to refer to everyone else as "civilians" but they're just hired security with extra perks.
Stupid question: how do I move stuff from "master" to, IDK, "main" or similar, while preserving history?
For a nice analogue of that: At the Steinway factory they have a machine that breaks in the actions of new instruments, it's a giant eccentric wheel that presses the keys and releases them again once per revolution, they let it sit for a few hours.

Interesting. Updating values via incrementing them is a use case I barely had in Firebase. I mostly only dealt with 1-time updates to values, e.g. by the user or scheduled jobs. In which scenario would the current design cause you problems?
