Scraping also has, in some contexts, negative associations. In a project for a non-profit that I'm involved with that coincidentally was originally a remix of some of Simon's code for one of these "Git scraping" projects + Datasette, I recently made the decision to refer to it strictly as what it is: a crawler.

I'm less warm at this point to the general idea behind the hack of dumping the resulting JSON crawl data to GitHub. It's a very roundabout way of approaching basically what something like TerminusDB was made for. It definitely feels like the main motivation was GitHub-specific stuff and not Git, really—namely, free jobs with GitHub Actions—and everything else flowed from that. It turns out that GitHub Actions proved to be too unreliable for executing on schedule, anyway, so we ported the crawler to JS with an eye towards using Cloudflare Workers and their cron triggers (which also come in a free flavor).
After wasting millions in venture capital, the micropayments industry could have simply employed a single psychologist and saved us from a decade of micropain.
> Grain of salt: I've become a curmudgeon w.r.t software complexity over the last decade

Same here :-). I have come to think that old and simple technology was nice, and the trend nowadays is to pile up a lot of complexity for no apparent reason.

> What's wrong with patch email chains?

I genuinely believe that most developers (who I believe have less than 5 years experience) have never seen the e-mail workflow in their life. And there is a tendency to believe that newer is better, so they don't even consider e-mail.
It's a Google project, but looks like it's abandoned/feature-complete.

We also had a dedicated protocol for file transfer, you know, FTP, and now it appears nobody needs it anymore as HTTPS is enough for everything.
Ok, I just wanted to say that certain models would allow more things to be displayed, like W-800H for example. I actually own F-91W for nostalgia, but it's like a boy watch.
It’s a pity that it has become a business model.

1. Build a nice product, scream open source everywhere.
2. Get users to buy in on all the niceties, perhaps even nice contributions in terms of integrations and such(that people probably would not have cared for if it was some niche closed source product with much fewer users)
3. Once they are established enough, and people have gotten used to the learning curve, change the license and try to lock in as many users as they can and ignore the loud few who scream foul.

Some other product comes out to fill the void and they do the same as above..
For the next 2-3 years at least
Looks great! What this now needs is a nice Web UI and also convince major players to adopt it. It would be in their interest to assure users that they can take their data with them (even though most people probably wouldn't).
Okay, you made me want to try Lisp.

I think this is valid criticism, but it's more nuanced than the usual "mozilla bad because google money" and "mozilla bad because not firefox". Thank you for providing data.

Is there a more sustainable path where they don't rely on Google so much? Maybe? Developing a browser doesn't seem to be cheap. Do we know how many resources are used in Firefox versus the rest? I'd like to see a strong argument that Mozilla could be fully/more independent while still developing Firefox.

The thing is, even if they're badly managed today, they're still the best agent fighting for the open web. Apple helps, but I don't think they care much about it and would happily change if it were better for their bottom line.
This makes us engineer types vulnerable to the irrational nature of people. We try to make sense out of irrational behavior and choose wrong partners or company due to it. We try to apply logic where logic is controversial. An OCD sufferer can clean their hands five times every time yet their teeth are rotten. We try to look and look to a person realizing their illogical ways and we suffer unimaginable amounts while waiting.

Huh the ring topology is a really cool idea. With the right routing rules it could open up some ports on my trunk switch, though I'd need to upgrade my NICs. Great idea for whenever I decide to retire the SBC though!
Part of the reason not to be too optimistic is that success in mice means living as long as a human toddler...
I have a C project template for VSCode that I just copy whenever I start a new C-project.
Inspiration for it was mostly because I don't want to rewrite the same CMake code constantly.
But I think there are a lot of these kind of projects floating around out there on github.

I use mingsys though . But theoretically it should be no trouble to change the compiler.
It's very cool, I just don't know what I would ever do with it. And I'm not saying that means therefore I don't see why anybody else would need or want it, I would never use it though. I was thinking about running an ethernet cable or two around the house to hook up a 1gb link but I couldn't be assed in the end because wifi is good enough. It's not like I can max out my 11mb/1mb home internet. \My new laptop's wifi is a bit flaky so maybe I'll do it this year if the drivers and firmware don't come good.

Cameras and weather station are nice though.

All of the current BigTech companies except Amazon were profitable before going public - Apple, Microsoft, Google, Facebook.

The vast majority of tech companies that IPOd since Facebook have been a disaster of an investment.
You need theory before you get implementation.
One alternative viewpoint for understanding why therapy is so effective for mental health issues, goes as follows:

Humans evolved in closely knit groups, where social relationships were extremely important. Good, close friendships were essential for survival. Humans evolved to innately feel better, when they feel that they have formed a close bond with another person.

Common Factors Theory posits that successful psychotherapy needs: alliance, empathy, genuineness, affirmation...

The school of the psychotherapist is not relevant(!), it's much more important that the patient and therapists are a "good match".

Having this viewpoint makes psychotherapy more understandable, and also explains why depressed people can't just read psychotherapy books and self-heal.
In many U.S. states, their primary energy generation is nuclear. This is extremely environmentally friendly, meaning no issues with OP using a bunch of power.

We really need to stop demonising the use of energy. Energy is amazing. It is the reason we have seen to much prosperity in so little time. It's the backbone of our economies. Of medicine and the internet and EVs and well insulated homes. We should be doing everything we can to make energy cheaper, enabling more people to use more energy. Few things have been as damaging for climate activism than the war on energy. It's unnecessary and misses the point of the entire movement: saving the environment. Focus on cleaner sources of energy rather than demonising people using energy.
If you are into it, read "The Cicero trilogy" , a most amazing series of books of historical fiction.
It's different in Germany where you have to call around for weeks or even months to find a licensed therapist. The alternative would be to pay for one out of pocket but i don't see paying 90+€/hour as a good foundation for lasting mental change
It's not a concern for any current living generations, so any answers are moot because the landscape of the entire friction between corporations, governments and the people will likely have shifted dramatically to where our opinions today have no relevance to their issues.
Every code needs comments. Not the WHAT (Here we add a and b - I can read the code!) but the HOW (We use Quicksearch here) and the WHY (We do X instead of Y because ABC or feature X1 or ...).
Or you could just create one page that shows the weather/gas prices/etc that updates?
How is the AI "acting"?
Part of the reason is that SMTP predates IMAP by a decade.

And even in the early 2000s many email providers didn't offer IMAP. Their view of an email service was much simpler: there's a queue of incoming emails you can fetch with POP, and a queue of outgoing emails you can append to via IMAP. Having folders and most of the state of the email client synced to the server via IMAP is a radically different philosophy that only became useful when you logged in from multiple devices
I don't really think 2x the power usage comes from AC. The US has plenty of areas that only need a bit of AC for only part of the year.

Just noticed that. Very appropriate!
Jump are market makers, not a hedge fund, that position was $6.5M at peak. Probably part of an options trade. But at this size 100% not an actual investment.

Those articles are auto-generated from regulatory filings. Down in that article they write about a 270 share investment, that's neither size nor notable.
If you're scraping any significant amount of data (>500K), and depending on the frequency, you might also want to add etag/cache-control headers as well as accept-encoding, to save server bandwidth.

Collecting 1 kB every minute might not be a big deal, but collecting 1 MB every minute would cost an AWS-hosted service >$40/year in additional data transfer costs

Wager: None of the theory on this page will have any bearing on the implementation of a real world AI system that solves any problem of interest.

Not that there aren't problems to solve regarding AI, just that this line of inquiry won't be relevant to solving them. It'll be complicated boring work dealing with power structures, economics, and social movements, not thought experiments about omnipotent Others.
Thanks, I didn't know that. I'll check it out.

Edit: Just tried it, not working: Tabbing on the xpi file -> Open with. Getting the toast "None of your Apps can open this file" even tough I just installed fennec.
In your case I would really doubt if apendix was the cause. As a teen I also loved milk, pancakes, pasta, etc, but around early 20s started to notice that they are bad for me. Now if I eat a lot of milk and glutamine I get digestive issues, skin rashes, etc. My apendix (afaik) is intact.
I've been using duckdb's json import and parsing to deal with a O(50k) item scrape of an API into newline delimited json to convert it into something more usable and found it quite nice to use.

syntax like:

create table foo as (select * from read_json_auto('foos.jsonl'))

and for a bit that was ... overly nested.

create table nested as
select unnest(json) from (
select unnest(arr) as json from (
select json as arr from read_json_auto('nested.jsonl')));

And then exporting that as a fixture for django is as easy as:

copy (select uid as pk, 'app.Model' as model, tbl as fields from tbl) to 'tbl.jsonl' (format json, array false);
> if !e->inuse but e == ent->client->chase_target, the original will loop but yours will exit.

No, the continue statement will jump to the test part also for `do' loops:

"The continue statement is related to break, but less often used; it causes
the next iteration of the enclosing for, while, or do loop to begin. In the
while and do, this means that the test part is executed immediately"

No. This is why I said "Cristiano Ronaldo was not attending a nonprofit school, he was a member of a for-profit professional team."

Harvard is a nonprofit school, financially supported by the government in various ways. The standards are different. If Harvard wants to act like a business, then it needs to give up its nonprofit status, forsake government support, and pay taxes as a business.
Well I was both. Really hurt by a toxic person because I wasn't honest to myself how bad i felt with her.
I'm sure there are plenty of things we've implemented without theory, such as global warming or the economy.
Hubert Horan: Uber Isn’t Profitable yet but Is Getting Closer
WOW! Just a `git clone`, download and unpack the .zip with the assets (end of the blog post), type `make` and it compiles on Linux without warnings into `wipegame`, run it and it works first time!

You need a joypad/joystick, I was surprised that I could plug it in after the game had started and it picked it up, insted of having to restart the game as I remember being the case with other games on Linux years ago.
1: It was ID, not Betsheda.

2: Doom's impact was more huge than Quake. The MOD community still releases PWADs today. Doom basically boosted LAN multiplayer matches.
Those benefits that CentOS, Rocky offer, as you said, are without cost because the cost is shouldered by Red Hat. If you're a 1:1 rebuild, you can't introduce your own fixes, so CentOS, Rocky rely on Red Hat to write and produce a fix that will then be rebuilt "free of charge" as you mention.

How is that lock-in from Red Hat's part?
Limited data plans and connectivity issues make this infeasible. Also security issues on having incoming ports open, of course.

But what if instead of hosting an index.html file over HTTP(S) we could all host via BitTorrent?

A website could be a bunch of files that are referred to by a DHT hash file.

That way everybody who visits the website will also temporarily support the site by hosting it. If your self hosted site is Slashdotted/HNewsed than hosting would still not fail: after all, all the new visitors are temporarily also seeders of the file over BitTorrent.
"Some of the doubts about the possibility of AGI come from misconceptions on what AGI attempts to achieve or what computers can do. The previous subsection has clarified the former issue, while an analysis of the latter issue can be found here."

Except for that the previous subsection didn't clarify that at all.
The main issue with this argument that current AI models are extremely inefficient. Models evaluate all weights on every pass, LLMs recall their entirety of knowledge just to output a part of a word and then do it all again. Often a hand crafted algorithm can achieve what a neural network can in a small fraction of compute. There is likely a 1e4x-1e6x compute gap that can be achieved with the right algorithm, maybe even a 1e10x and once we reach self improvement that gap could close very fast. They say that the human brain has 30 PFLOPS of compute power and this is sometimes used as a reference for how much compute is needed for intelligence, but that completely misses the point: The human brain is extremely inefficient. Symbolic mathematics can be unreasonably [1] effective at making accurate predictions about the future with very little computation, but many of these solutions are inaccessible to evolution. Once AI learns to construct efficient mathematical models of the universe, the amount of computation available today in a PC could be enough to do things (good and bad) way beyond human ability.

I do use Rclone as well, but Cryptomator has one feature that rclone does not, it allows me to access my data "on the go" from my phone.

Personally i have never experienced any of the issues you mention, but my Cryptomator vaults are also mostly below 1TB in size.
Most of the history of technological development is the other way around. Theory-driven novel engineering is actually quite rare.

When I worked with racks in datacenters, we usually put the network gear facing the other side of the servers, so there was no need to cross cables for the rack depth.
I think I'd be fine _using_ an AGPL+CLA product, but not contributing.
The reason I uninstalled google maps is because it would open in a random place not related to me (I live in Europe and it opens in Tucson,AZ,USA).

AppleMaps is a great map and even better for guiding directions, but their servers are extremely slow so it is very annoying to browse.

People like you are the reason users cannot work a file system, download an image, or even read a short text message. You retard the users' progress.

How much would you be willing to bet? I understand the skepticism, but to assign 0% probability to it happening in our lifetimes seems excessively low.
Make sure you have a backup of the data you care about.
If you don't care about backup, you don't care about data.

No storage lasts forever. SDD, HDD, DVD, TAPE, etc will fail, regardless of brand.

Backup is cheap. Losing data can be priceless...
I liked this approach. For myself I would still prefer it over everything else.

However, once everyone rolled out IMAP and deprecated (explicitly or implicitly) POP, why didn't they also deprecate SMTP (for clients) in favour of clients just putting outgoing mail to an Outbox folder over IMAP?

> My informed guess was multicast DNS as I’ve seen this protocol being (ab)used a lot from Apple (Bonjour for instance)

I understand it's in fashion to kick Apple (and not without reason) but mDNS and DNS-SD is their protocol. They made it and they market it combined with link-local addressing, etc as Bonjour. To me writing like this is naff and makes the author seem needlessly salty.
Convenience and reliability from a business perspective

For #2 in good faith using the github model here,

Sure there’s Git and Github. Also sourcehut, using google cloud source repository or any managed git service.

Either 1) I need the software and I can have a team maintain it.

Electing for the software-as-a-service vs self hosted model is in itself.

1. I can compute, resources, maintenance and time The proprietary or a version of the product myself or a fork and get the feature functionality from other open source or provider.

2. Pay for the GitHub licensing cost and using the service and ok with magic abstractions to operate the software. (Which admirably lately has been bad.

Also frame it as from the beginning of the git project elected to also build all the same parity features, would it be the same tool, be the product that exists, or brain share it has today. Maybe not.

I maybe misunderstanding you here but in these cases opaqueness is part your trade off to offload fairly complex for a marginal cost that’s s decision by you.
Careful with the generalizations, the ability to drag&drop a bunch of files to the browser and upload them to some server in a reliable way across all major browsers is very recent.

Also, try to create a web app that mimics a FTP server. ( a real production one ) you’ll see how much FTP does and you didn’t know.
With a feature like this is there still a good reason to use MongoDB?

Honest question, I know Oracle and Postges well, but not their JSON features. I'm just starting to learn MongoDB seriously because of a current project.
That quote bothered me the most out of the entire article. It's indoctrination 101 - if you don't believe/agree there is something wrong with you.
Well it depends what you're doing with it. In my case my CPU is averaging about 1% with the odd burst here and there. As a precaution I propped it up to allow increased airflow underneath.

You do have a point in that certain devices can suffer from overcharging and bulging batteries. This issue is largely addressed in newer devices. I can see that the BMS in my laptop server is holding at 90% charge. Definitely worth checking if you plan to use an old phone/laptop/tablet as a 24/7 device.
The subtlety of different support levels for minor releases is something I hadn't come across before, thanks. I'm surprised RH haven't made more of that recently.

Having dealt with run times changing by order of magnitude by removing the mac from equation, it will do so even if there's no overlayfs on the linux VM side.

Corporate insistence on providing ill-fitting developer hardware (Macs) to what our software was being developed on (Linux, and in fact only runnable there) is why they might have paid the cost of few more laptops just for my single EC2 used to have reasonable compile times.

And I wasn't even using the host filesystem for any of the busy path - it was just compile definitions and storage for built tarballs and images (if it had to schlep actual source files and temporary files over, I might have had to wait a week for a single build to finish...)
