One of my biggest pet peeves that frustrate me more about Open Source projects is this bizarre tendency not to put screenshots in the main description; especially for projects that are mainly UI/UX-based.

I realize there's a demo, but what if I'm on mobile and I'm just curious as to what the project looks like; or what if I just want to see what it looks like before I try it out?

Is it a nerd thing, where we're just kind of wrapped up so far in our own projects that we forget such a basic thing? Why does this happen so often? Genuinely asking.
I didn’t knew that either, and there’s nothing embarrassing about it: pretty much every CLI tool that doesn’t have a clear name is an acronym (grep, cd, pwd, dd, yacc, etc).

Love the analysis! Usually the closed number is higher because there are still many edge cases where PRs get closed outside of bad code. E.g bug already fixed in master, follow up PR, PRs merging into a larger one and so on

>I guess it's what you're used to.

Exactly. All these exchanges of experiences boil down to people rationalising their own preferences, which are really just about familiarity. I do it too. I'm really just more familiar with Linux systems because I used it since I was 10-12, and as a main OS since I was about 14(I'm 30 now).

My view is that Windows being more user friendly is really just a myth. Most non-technical people use their Windows PCs or macs for the same 4 different tasks they always have. Ask them to do something new or do some troubleshooting and they'll struggle with it and get nowhere. Whether they're staring at a terminal window with no idea what to type or a "troubleshooting wizard" that offers no useful advice and links to an MSDN article with no useful information, is really irrelevant. They'll still need help from a technical person.

And technical people like us all just prefer what we're more familiar with too.

“Not This Stuff Again” (SARS-CoV-2 Update)
I'm of a similar mindset... Docker dev environments are only slightly inconvenient, but much like a full VM, having exactly what you need, and the versions is kind of nice sometimes... especially working on differing projects.

Aside: it's a blessing and a curse how many projects don't get curated/groomed regularly for updates/upgrades. I think it should be a day or two a month to update dependencies and runtimes to current. I've now been on a handful of projects in the past year with versions of resources pinned from 3+ years ago. It's disturbing.
I used to make RC planes and quads, it was super fun, and there's a huge community of foam board planes which are pretty fun and easy.

Am I understanding this correctly, basically a Colo was acquired by Amazon?

It’s pedantic but colo existed for decades before AWS.

It’s the software layer from AWS that made it “The Cloud” (quicker access to hardware & billing by the second, not month)
> emphasizing in some contexts that the hashes on the chain are all that technically HAVE to be retained

Even the context of the primary reason they cite for collecting retinal data (to prevent the same person from getting $50 multiple times) requires they keep this data for at least as long as they're paying people to scan their eyeballs.
> Do you solve all your problems by shooting people?

All power on earth emanates from the barrel of a gun. We abstract that fact away in modern polite society, but it is the base level truth of our existence.

So yes, when it comes down to it, governments can, will, (and have) used guns to solve this.
One of them is easy to include in thrilling action movies that allows the idea and risk to enter public consciousness, and the other is something that economics wonks and people interested in how business works at high levels look at.

Protagonist 1: "I don't get it, why are they doing this? What do they have to gain?"

Protagonist 2: "I don't know, unless... oh my god, it's regulatory capture!"

Protagonist 1: "Shit, of course! What will we do?"

Audience: Laughs at this shit being played so straight it comes off as a farce.
Crypto schemes allow a lot of experimentation with the structure of money that no sane government would ever try for fear of crashing their economy in one way or another.

Meanwhile, we /should/ be experimenting a lot more with the structure of economics and society, because the current super-structures have created massive concentrations of power and seemingly-insurmountable collective action problems that threaten the biosphere...

Bitcoin was designed to act like gold, but this was a series of design choices. (as someone, maybe foldingideas, put it: the crypto bros looked at the concentration of wealth in society and decided that the problem was that /they/ weren't the ones with all the wealth.)

You can just as easily design a crypto scheme to generate tokens and distribute them to everyone with an ID regularly: this is UBI, so long as the tokens have recognized value. The problem is that you need to prevent people from registering a million accounts to get a million UBI credits, deflating the value of tokens held by honest folks. Thus the unique identifier problem.
I'm going to make some assumptions, so please forgive me if this is not accurate. You said you were in San Francisco and looking to buy property, so I'll guess you were probably a Senior Software Engineer at the time, based on presumed age and Hacker News demographic/location.

The median wage for that position and region is $295,000/year according to levels.fyi [1]. I happen to also live in the same city with the same job title, so I can confirm anecdotally this feels about right. It might have been lower back when you were saving though. Not sure how long ago this was, but let's roll with it.

5200 / 295000 = ~%1.8 of your gross income.

I'm a bit doubtful that you were able to prepare a week's worth of food in just 1.5 hours, including shopping and cleaning, but if so, that's incredibly efficient. Let's assume 16 waking hours per weekend day.

1.5 / (16 + 16) = ~4.7% of your weekend.

So very roughly speaking, we're looking at a marginal difference of saving around 1/50th of your income at the expense of around 1/20th of your free time. Personally I feel that's not worthwhile, and in my case the numbers are actually more stark.

This of course does not factor in the non-zero time to go out for lunch. This could significantly change the calculus. We're also not including non-financial factors which might play in.

One of my biggest peeves with Google Maps is its lack of respect for my zoom level. When I tap the centering button, NO, I don't want to zoom in. If I wanted to zoom in, I'd zoom in!

Couple that with the roughly decade-old removal of the +/- zoom buttons, and I basically don't bother with Google Maps any more except for turn-by-turn navigation.
I recently got immersed in "The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency" series by Alexander McCall Smith. These books blend captivating mysteries with a strong sense of fair play and moral values. The protagonist, Precious Ramotswe, approaches each case with compassion and integrity.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elves_in_Middle-earth

Elves were not tall folk, that came from an interpretation of icelandic folklore where he lumped that variant in with Giants... in almost all traditional lore elves were either diminutive like Gnomes or were at most the dame size as humans. Many other features are also from specific variants that he amalgamated in but most would not consider to be in the "main" folklore.

I had a longer response but accidentally refreshed the page and have no interest in typing that much again on my phone.

As for cases, DnD changed thier "races" in response to violations raised in court iirc. They pushed right to the line as close as possible and that was long before we reached modern IP law which is exceedingly more stringent than back in the 80s, right?
Every specific real thing that happens is as equally unlikely as everything else. It's just our interpretation that makes certain things seem unusual, when, in fact, they're as usual as everything else.
Edited: It was interesting. I don’t think cheap matters much in a world where compute is still getting rapidly cheaper. Being certain is good, but the throw tons of data into massive models keeps beating everything else. I do think the models need to get some self doubt built in some how but I don’t think the data catalog will be more than post hoc fact checking. Fun times tho.

People are incredibly masked online, that is true. They run their posts before the “upvotable” heuristic before submitting. But in a small familial community you can’t just be technically correct while also being an ass in how you make your point. Most of the smarmy self-righteous posts you find on Reddit would be met with an open-palm smack, or worse, if delivered in the same way to a tribal leader 10,000 years ago. All of the human connection is gone in this form of communication. It is a system filled with ideologically mind broken serfs who all jockey for a small bit of clout in order to break free of their perceived chains. The things said here are as true as the statement “that is wet” when looking at a beautiful waterfall.

Yes, you're right. It used to be more common to write it with the cedilla/cedille, but over time it's become more common to write it as a normal c. Similarly, for the phrase "deja vu", it used to be more common to write it with the accent marks (déjà-vu), whereas I usually see it written now as deja vu. And I see same thing with café being written as cafe.

I need to write a blog post about the time an ad network told me that their required integration was to integrate their JS bundle that would send all text input to their servers.

When I told them No Fucking Way (in not that many more words), they said they would need to get executive sign-off on a "custom" integration. The "custom" bit being us doing everything ourselves server-side and sending them a single opaque identifier for conversions.

Hello everyone!

I'm building a simply tool which allows large language models (currently GPT-3-turbo, but soon also llama2) to make API calls.

You can connect it to pretty much any existing API in a few minutes, I highly recommend you watch the video in the homepage.

The idea is to build a powerful assistant which can simply interact with any existing service.

One of the interesting features we have are "tasks" - These allow you to run multiple agents (connectors) together, something like Zapier but for AI tasks. Imagine, something like, every morning find info about my current leads online and add the data to my CRM.

Anyways the tool is currently free. Would love your feedback.

P.s. it's built with Nuxt3, and hosted on Vercel.

Sorry, but how is anything of what you've said an example of "putting women 'in their place'"? Do men not have their credentials questioned or their opinion dismissed online, or is it misogyny purely because it's men doing it to women?
I knew a very smart guy with an attitude like that. He decided to run the electric wiring for an artist's co-op he made out of surplus shipping containers. When the city inspectors eventually popped by for a surprise visit, it was so far from code compliant that they pulled his electric meter on the spot.

Being very smart, he was sure he was in the right, so I hear he fought with the city for years over it, in the meantime layering on his home-grown solar and biomass gasification generator. I'm not sure if he ever got back in compliance.

I would encourage anybody going this route to have early discussions with a licensed electrician. A lot of code compliance stuff is non-obvious. It's what you get when you start with smart people and then add a hundred years of experience.

France minima sociaux are not enough to live on by themselves.

The idea of UBI imply that you can live in a ok way with it.

I have friends who lives with the French RSA, they have previous stash of money to complete it.

One is close to spend only 400/month, but he lives on land he bought with his last job.

I made a clock based on an IV-18 vacuum florescent display tube. In the process I learned CAD, CNC, aluminum anodizing, metal turning, SMT soldering, laser cutting, box making, power supply design, and a dozen other skills I use every day today.

Here's the clock's homepage, which has some pictures: https://vonnieda.org/tc18, and more pictures on Flickr: https://www.flickr.com/photos/vonnieda/sets/7215762293577593...

I built a total of five of them. I sent one to the person who designed the enclosure, one to my brother, one to a friend, one to eBay for sale (which ended up in Germany), and kept one for myself. It still sits on my desk ticking along quite happily. I've changed the backup battery once in 14 years and have made little tweaks to the firmware over the years.
It’s still worth the trade-offs vs developing for multiple platforms, but the experience continues to be incredibly painful.

Libraries that handle basic features like geolocation or the clipboard have been spun out of the main org, and the result is even worse reliability. Core features are also often superseded by libraries that are in a constant state of refactoring like Reanimated or React Router.

On the bright side, performance, memory usage and startup times have steadily improved so it’s possible to build apps that perform almost indistinguishably from native ones (at great human cost!).
On the wired I'm a fan of doing the extra work to [Match] against MACAddress= then rename it to something friendly. Makes things clearer in logs and shows. It's worth noting you probably want to stick to [a-zA-z]{2,8} even though other things and longer/shorter names are allowed.

That's kind of hilarious because my aging thing is manifesting itself in making me unable to play more complicated games. Like, I wish I could get into dwarf fortress or the new baldur's gate but always feel fried and opt for a round of call of duty (and now diablo 4). Those games are require 0 reading, it's all instinct and nothing in the game happens without some audio-visual feedback...

The irony here is that I might take a deep dive into VFIO because call of duty is one of those games that will never work with Proton...I guess for you that was Valorant?

These must all be the side effect of having kernel level anti cheat programs running on Windows and very dedicated anti-cheating teams.

> Somehow we've built a culture where its socially acceptable, and even rewarded, to behave online in ways that would never be acceptable in other social settings.

It's an unfortunate consequence of the point-based reward systems that platforms use to incentivize participation. There are certain topics that large groups of people will always upvote or always downvote. It's a rational behavior to repeat the same comments whenever such a topic comes up if those comments can reliably mine rewards by doing so, even if the rewards in this case are adjustments to one's own dopamine balance.

In offline social settings, the ability to monetize comments is somewhat more difficult but not totally absent (popularity, elections, etc).
I’m surprised to see that Mach is still the microkernel for Hurd. When I last (very casually) followed Hurd development two decades ago, Mach was generally regarded as obsolete and there were hopes to base Hurd on a new microkernel like seL4.
GIMP's pretty good
it's still a version of jpeg that supports transparency, and it's actually well supported (down to ios 14) to use without also having to deliver a fallback format now. it's not as good as it's successors, but if you are chosing one format and care about image size, it's the best choice.

Yes, the unfortunate thing is that Google is not interested in a higher quality Web so much as they are in a Web that is cheaper to index and serve.

So it's unsurprising that they have pushed the format optimized for "as few bits as we can get away with before things like too terrible" rather than actually improving quality and extending capabilities.
The problem it's solving or attempting to solve is "how do I create demand for a token that isn't redeemable for anything (generated by a private organization which intends to profit from exchanging tokens it generates for money)", and the only people that want those are cryptobros.

I've been pretty happy with it, myself. All the base OS libraries support JPEG XL so it's nearly pain-free, excepting lack of web browser support.

Combined with GNU parallel, I did this:

find -type f -iname \*.jpg -print0 | parallel -0 cjxl --lossless_jpeg=1 {} {.}.jxl
find -type f -iname \*.png -print0 | parallel -0 cjxl -d 0 {} {.}.jxl
find -type f -iname \*.webp -print0 | parallel -0 dwebp -o {.}.png {} \&\& cjxl -d 0 {.}.png {.}.jxl

JPEGs get losslessly recompressed with JPEG XL. PNGs and (lossless) WebPs get converted to lossless JPEG XL.
My memory was spending as much time learning on the different options as anything else. Though, I think most of my memory was all of the config for FreeBSD. Compiling Firefox was the beast that I remember. Only thing I still compile is Emacs, and that is silly fast on modern computers.

Really, the speed of compilation is such that I understand why so many source distribution methods are as popular as they are now. Feels funny to have come to that point so effectively.

>application of coercive force (which is what makes a government a government) must be avoided at any and all cost

I think this statement is eminently reasonable. Although a monopoly on coercive force is one important defining feature of government, I think it's desirable to have its minimization as the highest priority. Moreover, I think in the US our baseline for appropriate levels of coercive force is far too high.

> the current law in place is that ZERO coercion/force can be applied to homeless people

As I was stressing earlier, if we don't have a reasonable outcome at the other end of the coercive force applying it anyway is unethical and ineffective. I don't believe that they are legally prevented from enforcing eg. noise ordinances (could be wrong here). They are merely prevented from throwing out someone's tent and kicking them to the next block.
