I have a weird auditory illusion that happens to me ; I have tinnitus, and a super weird auditory response thing that happens to me occassionally:

So when I cant hear the high-pitched tinnitus squeal (very low volume, but still hear it) - there is something weird that happens which is that I can "hear" some sort of radio station - which plays music in the really faintest and far away sounding volume...

The other thing that happens, is that when laying in bed, attempting to sleep - there are times that when the house makes a "creak" sound of settling or whatever (you know how your wall may 'pop' or 'creak' at times - but the weird thing is that it simultaneously coincides with a pop and a flinch of my body, or 'sound' in my head.

There are times when this happens and I get a bright flash in my closed-eyes...

Anyone know what this is? Sodium defficiency? or aliens?

You don't need to store nuclear waste, since you can burn it up in some fuel cycles. Essentially all the problems of nuclear power on the ground are political issues -- entrenched interests, weapons proliferation, and so forth -- not technological ones like safer reactors and nuclear waste.

Well, Google also made Dart and it went nowhere. So it's not necessarily that.

Go had a simple familiar syntax that's easy to pick up, decent tooling from the get go, good enough speed and memory use, and promised easy parallelism. It also arrived at 1.0 relatively quickly and quite mature with few rough edges and a feature full standard lib.

Most "indie" languages don't have those even after 10 years of development.
I think so. The learning curve is steep at the beginning, but once things click it can be very rewarding.

That's fantastic, if your jam is investing in premium hardware and story-telling in video format. Personally, I can't think of a bigger waste of everyone's time than videoing my own life.

Edit: I will take your point though, that Apple at least attempts to produce premium products with a purpose. However, judging by the number of iPads and iPhones I see being used as passive content consumption interfaces, I'm not sure the outcome is much different.
Accurate. I forgot that. And in the higher education realm, these are always related to discrimination of some kind by an employee or department that is a known issue that hadn't been addressed.

This is nonsense. A sandboxed app only has access to its own container, so it's a non-solution to the problem of accessing the container of another app.
I hate it when people propose "just" getting another piece of hardware, be it for wireless connectivity, routing, internet/ad filtering, data and web hosting etc. etc.

Why not insist on extending the abilities and security of the one device 99.999% of people already have, before insisting on the acquisition of another, special-purpose device, requiring its own intricate setup and maintenance and power and space and connectivity? I just don't get it.

With respect to the idea of hosting personal websites without using hosting companies, why does it have to be port 80. Port 80 is what commercial hosting uses, but this proposal is fundamentally different from commercial hosting. I'm not sure I understand why using an agreed-upon high port would not be an acceptable alternative.

As for non-rooted Android not allowing use of port 80, this is just one symptom of the larger problem of not allowing the computer owner to have root privileges. And letting an advertising company have them instead. IMHO.

Unrelated perhaps but it is possible to forward port 80 in Android. For example, I forward tcp/80 to a computer running NetBSD. This can be done using an app, e.g., NetGuard. TLS zealots might want to try this sometime and observe some of the unencrypted egress traffic.

Thought experiment: Imagine you make a salary or other financial gains by applying what you know in the subject matter area of X. Someone comes along and proposes that they want to teach more people about how X works. What is the likelihood you will respond with something like "no one really wants to know how X works". You want to maintain the status quo because you understand that an information asymmetry between people who understand how X works and those who do not must exist in order that you may continue to be paid for or otherwise profit from your knowledge.

I use Nix on an ARM single-board computer to host a personal Matrix homeserver (and a bunch of bridges), and I absolutely love it. It's invaluable to have a reproducible specification of the whole system, including custom software to build, in a single place.

That being said, for day to day stuff Arch (and Nix standalone) works well enough for me, to be weary of switching my daily driver PC to Nix, out of the fear of dealing with unforeseen issues and maybe encountering less well maintained packages (there's always something broken on Nix unstable, but maybe it's not an issue for more popular stuff). So I'm sticking to Arch for non-servers for now.
Why are you doing anything like working at all? If it’s freedom you want, take it.

Cash out $90,000 a year for the next 5 years from your index funds and do whatever you want. If you’ve got no debt and are healthy you can live a pretty great life with that.

Or is “not working” something you don’t believe you’re not physically capable of doing? Whether through health, old age, or some other reason, we all stop working eventually. Better be ready to deal with it when it happens to you.

What is fundamentally different about the world today, compared to 10 years ago (when widespread child usage of phones and tablets was vanishingly rare), that it's impossible to parent without them?

I have friends who say they cannot get their child to brush their teeth without holding a tablet in front of their face. This statement would have been considered a sign of something horribly wrong in the parent-child relationship only a few years ago.

> But the option is there, rooting. As long as that is reasonably available I don't really see problem.

Well, it's not reasonably available. The number of android phone manufacturers that still allow bootloaders to be unlocked without significant friction is pretty small, and hardware attestation is slowly killing the whole rooting/custom rom scene since phones with unlocked bootloaders can't run many apps.

Australia is a big place with the major population centres isolated from each other by hundreds of KMs, you can't just look at overall numbers. Here in Melbourne we successfully eliminated 2 covid outbreaks, and then we were able to control the spread until most had been vaccinated.

As a proportion of the population only a very small amount of us have been exposed to covid with a naive immune system; not being vaccinated.

Trying to address every insane rant on social media is completely impossible. Also, do you have any actual examples of them mislabeling "conspiracy theories"? I think the public health establishment did a fine job given the challenge they faced. It was never going to be perfect. The fact that we got a vaccine as quickly as we did, organized a mass vaccination campaign and all that did end the pandemic is proof that all the policies succeeded, not that they failed.

> I came in saying that their stance that they should not have to ID their customers because there are better methods to keep porn away from kids and TX lawmakers don't care about children is weak.

Right, but you don't know if it's weak. You don't know what the downsides are of digital ID systems online, you don't know if the better methods being proposed aren't just as if not more effective. Digital ID systems sound good to you, but you haven't dug into the details to figure out whether they actually are a good idea here.

You're upset that Pornhub is saying they're not a good idea for online systems, but for all you know they're completely right.

> But the porn companies don't want to play ball at all

I don't understand how you can say this; Pornhub is offering solutions but saying that the ID requirements here are problematic. And you're refusing to look into the effectiveness of those solutions and refusing to try and figure out what would be deficient about those systems but you're mad that... what, Pornhub counter-offered mechanisms that would help reduce child exposure to porn? In what world is that not playing ball?

Of course in terms of the actual lawsuit, whether or not they're "playing ball" has nothing to do with the strength of Pornhub's position. It is not a valid defense against 1st Amendment claims to say, "but they're not helping enough." The government does not get extra rights to abridge speech just because they think a company should be working with them more. It's extra silly in this case because Pornhub is explicitly trying to be productive and offer suggestions. But even if they weren't -- no competent judge is going to look at cooperation with state governments as a precondition to 1st Amendment rights.

In general I just think:

Instead of complicated schemes that attempt to be locale aware, it seems simpler to use a general scheme that will apply regardless.

Collect two values:

1. What do you want to be called? e.g. if we send you an email we'll say Hello {name}

2. What is your legally recognised name i.e. what's on your passport and official documents.

#2 is only relevant in some domains, in many cases #1 alone is sufficient.

One issue I have with CLRS is that array indices usually start at 1, but sometimes they use 0, because it works better in that particular case. Some functions I used in Erlang (lists:sublist/3, lists:nth/2) use 1-based indices, too. I thought that 0-based array indices (and exclusive upper bounds) were quite a done deal in computer science (https://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/EWD/transcriptions/EWD08xx/E...).

“Yeah so three of my colleagues got fired so now I’m doing the work of four people, but my boss won’t listen to me when I say I’m overworked”.

Professional people would likely been gone before the firings, but if this situation would have arisen, they would have set boundaries and negotiate what work is and isn’t done within a normal work week. They don’t let themselves get tricked or fooled like this. And the fun part is that management never even asks to take over the work.

So many people are so brainwashed they care more about a company that would fire them without a single thought than their own life, it’s so insane.

If it was lan/wifi/bluetooth/local only then I could see it being kinda neat. Could have a little personal profile page for the people in your immediate vicinity. Could even update it by location. Like a kind of hyperlocal Tinder.

But if this is a WWW page doesn’t it open up individuals to D/DoS attacks? What happens when an angry ex nukes your battery on a Saturday night? I don’t see why hosting from a phone should (or even could) be a thing.

The article doesn’t convincingly establish why phone hosting is important. If it’s a cost issue then wouldn’t it be a competitive loss-leader for an ISP add-on like we had in the past? ISPs used to provide web hosting, email, newsgroups, etc. Those all went away in favor of dedicated providers, which seems like a better model.

The option is there on some phones, and that with caveats; lots of phones don't let you root them, and even if you can they'll artificially break things (like sony degrading the camera, or any app that refuses to run if it realizes it's on a rooted phone)

Background radiation may be unlikely to give an individual cancer whilst still causing cancer across a population. It just isn't possible to attribute the cause.

I spent half a day on a HP call. The solution was install Mac drivers for my printer. These drivers were not on the site. I didn't even know Mac needed drivers installed for common printers - my previous printer ran perfectly fine without it.

Most of that time was just turn it off and on in different ways. Including a half hour long pause where the guy asked me to unplug my printer cables and tell him whether it worked when everything was unplugged.

AI would probably have fixed this in half an hour.

When I do contracting/consulting, I am usually working for similar types of businesses in industries I already know solving very similar problems.

I don't get paid to learn on the job, and I don't really want to spend unpaid time doing work...unless I already have an deep interest in the industry.

At the same time, it is a lot easier to sell yourself as an "expert" in a particular industry/area (SaaS for small business, dental practices, etc), or an "expert" at solving a particular type of problem (boosting retention rates,
unscrewing a sales team/process, etc).

The idea of being a fresh set of eyes and hitting the low hanging fruit? Maybe, but the pay for that is not really that great in general and it is a lot harder to sell...IMHO

I am not sure this helps at all...
