Perhaps I was being generous to others. At the moment the kid is learning the querty layout. Typing letters in an ultra large font while asking me how to spell words.

I will add that I am navigating these waters as someone who had far too much exposure to TV, video games, computers, and Internet since the modem days.

I am mostly indifferent to the medium but I am hoping to build the social connections as well as the creative and builder mindset and not just consumer of content.
I didn't move the goalpost - it's how I interpreted the peanut gallery part.

But ok, let's say limiting yourself only to GitHub comments, you can still find doubt casting and uncharitable interpretations:

> Nice micro-optimization. And if you bury your head deep enough into the sand, doesn't sacrifice anything important either.

> "The only supported way ..." is a polite way of saying "Works for me, WONTFIX".

> Another interpretation of an earlier comment is that he is all-in on bazel/buck and does not care about cargo. Both interpretations have me concerned.

> And ~80 comments with "This doesn't work for me".

Even in this case, the __jem comments make sense. Many people are just writing their version, "I don't like this, " meaning any interesting message is drowned out by noise. THAT will make any maintainer limit to contributors.
Browser extensions, which can block HTML elements based on arbitrary selectors rather than just origin domain.
iOS (and macOS Safari) only has the stupid "declarative blocking" functionality which is trivial for ads to bypass. In addition, it often breaks websites because it can't inject runtime code (like uBlock filters can) to substitute malicious JS payloads with neutered versions that still expose the same API so the rest of the JS doesn't error out.
Don’t do lead acid. I say this from experience. Lead acid charges too slow. You want a battery that can capture every ray of sunshine - especially with intermittent sunlight - and charge at full speed. Lifepo4 can do this. Lead acid can’t.
Signal's open letter to Lord Bethell regarding the Online Safety Bill [pdf]
Careful with the terminology there.
They do not “handle” the states but rather “access” or “read” them: moreover the qubits read are not processed along any probability vector which means they are scraping inherently junk data.

By analogy: imagine you want to make an aimbot to shoot people in an online FPS video game. You need your aimbot to calculate not only the vector to shoot at (our game has bullet drop and bullet objects, not hitscan weapons) but also to calculate for the opponent’s motion.

The way people at Google are doing it now, they look at a map of where the players are where when the game starts and try to ammo dump it… with no one there. Lol.
Case in point: there's a huge Medicaid scandal in Arizona right now regarding Native Americans. What happened is that there were dudes in vans going to New Mexico, and basically kidnapping natives (mostly Navajo who were off the reservation) and promising them addiction recovery services, mental health treatment, and stuff, if they would only get in the van and cross state lines.

The homes they took them to were unlicensed, mismanaged, and committing fraud, and often dumped the natives out on the street with no resources or way home.

Talk about abusing a doubly-vulnerable population; it's appalling. And to think that there is little stopping someone like me from being caught in that.

I object to the idea that San Francisco, with its yuppie tech culture, was truly comparable to Florence in the Renaissance. The Renaissance produced works of culture and art in addition to the technological advances. In that regard, Seattle produced the best music of the decade and would be an equal contender to the title.
TOTP tokens don’t meet alot of compliance requirements. You usually need a PIN or crypto device with a dedicated solution.

Like the popular password vault says in the name… 1Password for everything. If everything can stand alone in 1Password, it ain’t MFA.
Safari does actually support CSS selectors in its content blocking API. However, see my other comment on this very subthread, it's nowhere near enough and is trivial for ads to bypass.

> GDP is literally a measure of aggregate production

In $, not amount of goods and services.

> GDP does not measure money any more than mass measures kilograms.

Mass is a physical dimension. GDP is the product of the physical dimensions of the goods and services you product by the value attributed to these physical properties.

> It measures the value of all goods and services produced in the economy.

You're saying it yourself: it measures the value of the goods and services. Value is measured in money and is not directly linked to the volume of goods, resources and services they represent.

You can produce the exact same amount of potatoes, if the value of a kg of potatoes increases, the GDP rises. If you look at the value of oil to gauge its production, there's one day in 2020 when we sent oil back to earth[1].

I'm of the same opinion.
I always wonder why SQL formatters do this. Is it because it's easier to diff queries with versioning tools? Because to me it's definitely not for legibility. The example shown here isn't even that bad compared to what I see regularly. We've got quiet a few queries longer than 100 sanely written lines running in BigQuery, sometimes I missclick the "format query" option and it always makes me wonder who the hell enjoys scrolling so much because suddenly the line count increases by an order or magnitude or more and the lines aren't much longer than 20 or so characters.

You can do this and I know of people who have done this. In virtually all cases, it's never going to come up.

But, for companies that are batshit anal about side-projects, they're going to make you sign some onerous contract and have management that are assholes about this kind of thing.

What happens in the event that you "hit the lottery" and some side-project becomes a big deal worth a lot of money? Somebody from your company is eventually going to find out about it: maybe from a public interview or from public records. If they put 2 + 2 together about when you built this and figure out that they can file some legal claim to it, you're in a mess of a legal situation that you don't need to be in.

Safer to put your cards on the table and make sure there's nothing in an employment agreement that puts something you really care about at risk.

The percentage of companies that are very anal about side-projects isn't substantial. They need you more than you need them and it's safer to be honest and look elsewhere for employment.
I went to a university where the NSA was heavily recruiting. I had a bad feeling about it and not only stayed clear but also asked some fellow students about the ethics of going to work for the spooks. At least one told me, something like "someone else takes care of ethics, I will just get to work on amazing stuff!"

Never looked back, never got a security clearance. Now I'm a dual citizen, so basically neither of my countries probably trusts me. :)
No, that doesn't accurately describe either Google's nor Rigetti's quantum efforts. Google does make a classical matrix-multiplication circuit (TPU), but that's different from their quantum computing effort.
You’re not wrong about that, but so what? The discussion went a different direction, one in which you engaged and called an idea “abjectly terrible”.
They are equivalent to "Manifest V3" blockers (like this one). It's nowhere as good as original uBlock Origin.
It depends on how you define art. You can play music or shoot film or paint a picture. AI could do it as well. But the essence of what makes good art comes from soul, from experience by living, from relationships between us... that is created for stories that inspire.

That is not what AI would ever generate.
i'm not sure if this is related, but i think Lisp systems traditionally let you save the core image to restart in the same state.
lol You're 100% right. I don't enjoy fixing linux at all after work. I used to do the VFIO GPU gaming desktop w/ linux + windows passthrough but I finally got over it and just installed windows on my desktop.
> I kept clicking the "next" icon for a while think they were just examples until I eventually realized I was supposed to be drawing already.

My understanding was that "A cloud-filled sky" is the first page past the tutorial - at least, it's the first page with no pre-drawn outlines. So the distinction seems pretty clear to me.
But if you say "open source" instead of "source available" then you get the OSI folks flaming you for not comforming to the definition. It's a lose-lose situation.

For me it is supported better on Linux than on Windows because my GPU (RX 5700 XT) does not actually have HW raytracing but Mesa has a software fallback for it :-P. If nothing else i was able to see what the fuss was all about[0][1][2].

Though, well, performance was a tiny bit lacking as you can see (i actually had to modify the Quake RTX code to let me use lower resolution scale than the official binary allowed :-P).

What would be the best way to put a streaming UI in front of Dropbox folder full of my music?
I too feel the pain of starting a project possibly because someone feels they can do something for cheaper than a retail version. When pricing all of the components, this often looks to be the case. Oh how many times have I then had to buy things a second time or decide something else is needed once elbow deep into the project and many weekends later. If everything was calculated to include the amount of time invested, it would have been so much easier to just buy the thing. But something about pride or some such just won't allow that to happen. We could wax poetically about the act of accomplishment and the self learning blah blah, but it's pride.

Edit: Just wanted to add the relevant quote: "My only regret is that you can’t power the raspberry from frustration, because my levels are lately spiking so high, that I am continually wondering why isn’t reality bending around my hate."
> But how does "not playing the game" work in the context of getting the larger public to care about the real issues, or even just getting election officials to?

On the plus side, there's already a large fraction of the larger public concerned about election safety. They might be worried about a lot of imaginary problems, but they can still be motivated to push back against electronic voting machines which is a win for addressing the real issues.

Election officials are already highly incentivized to make elections appear fair and transparent. That too can be leveraged to push back against electronic voting machines.

The trick is making sure the people who aren't conspiracy nut jobs aren't afraid to listen to and address the very real concerns with these devices for fear of being lumped in with the crazies on the other team. Insistence/persistence might help, but I think having well reasoned arguments and the support of trusted persons on the "right team" speak up about the issues might help too.
> Then Debian is the wrong distro for you.

Indeed, I moved to Fedora and I haven't looked back.

I was already using RHEL and CentOS (later Rocky Linux) on servers, I guess it's bye-bye time for Debian.

> Debian is for people who want to configure a server once and have it stay running and secure.

The same could be said for RHEL and most of its derivatives though.

Monetization is pretty straightforward, annual subscriptions, with equal access. Plenty of people will always be looking for love.

I am shocked at some of the prices I saw people paying? $100+ dollars/month to get a reasonable match? How much more monetization do you need there? A $60/year Strava subscription has done more for my love life than this.

Big corps are risk management companies. The happy path is that you will have a working solution at a fraction of the cost. Mid to worst case scenario is that you end up over your head, the costs are higher than you anticipated and the end result is mediocre at best. Big corps are willing to pay a high premium to guarantuee a certain level of performance with penalties if necessary.
Averages are just bad when discussing Americans income.
But in my opinion, this is just blaming the tool and not the company.

It's the company's fault that they use the data for "bad", when they could use it for good and to improve the product.

Even without the data, they could simply test random hypothesis and see the outcome that maximizes profit, in the process of which the end-user my "suffer" even more than when analytics are being used.
Yes, there's a secret music generation project if you can find it. If you are asking this without knowing about that secret project, that's a very deep insight.
All snark aside, Firefox is probably the last browser you should use if you care about extensions (or other functionality) not being broken on purpose or arbitrarily removed with no notice, recourse, or opportunity for feedback.

Firefox has done this to me multiple times. As someone who uses a web browser as a tool for both business and pleasure, and as someone who does not appreciate flag days forced on me for no good reason, I am perfectly happy and have been encountered far fewer surprises with a chromium fork.
> That's not a problem with debian, that's just a mismatch in needs, you're probably better off with a "less" stable operating system.

I'll be honest, i haven't had any stability issues with Fedora either, and i've been upgrading as often as i would with Debian. And in both cases, i'm using fairly old and known hardware (years old thinkpads, the T440 and the X270).
Not really. Different as in “BBQ chicken pizza” vs. “pepperoni pizza”.

As a former McKinsey consultant this is very true. Most of the time the work was just cutting through the bureaucracy, interviewing people, getting all the data, synthesising it and present it back.

To be fair though, once in a while there were some cases where a client genuinely did not have the required expertise in house or needed a solution quicker than their in-house teams could deliver.

I like how I don’t need a separate app (just install the profile) but I do wonder if I need to implicitly trust the website that has the profiles for download.

So far so good though.

I use the mullvad ones. Sometimes it breaks public wifi signins, so I switch to a less restrictive one in those situations (usually CIRA, which is the Canadian domain registrar)

The really nice thing about DNS profiles is that they’re system wide, so it works against in-app ads too.
I can’t find the article from before he signed with Columbia (might’ve been a YouTube interview with him, can’t remember for sure), but yes, I’m fairly certain he was doing well over 5k per month with no major label.

Also note the terms of his deal with Columbia are unlike most major deals in that he has a 50/50 profit split after his advance payment got recouped, retains either full control or 50/50 control of masters, etc.
I just have no idea how to interpret that percentage. What does it really mean? What % of 5 star ratings count as "this product is good"?

I don't see how this is an improvement of anything whatsoever in a world where the ratings (however they're presented) are not reliable in the first place. It seems worse, because it hides a lot of pertinent information.

But I don't know. I haven't actually experienced it.
You can do it in a per-app basis. I turn it off globally and then turn it back on for Home screen, Books, and a couple of other apps.

There should be another 7.7GW of solar coming online in Texas this year with another 36GW installed over the next 5.

https://www.reuters.com/default/texas-solar-boom-turns-batte...

> Texas will continue to lead U.S. solar growth in the coming years as tax incentives in President Biden's Inflation Reduction Act accelerate activity nationwide.

> At the start of 2022, only 27% of all solar projects in the Texas grid connection queue were coupled with storage and by the end of the year this had risen to 42%, according to preliminary data from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley lab)

> Demand for solar and storage in Texas is soaring but many developers are also building separate storage facilities in Texas to take advantage of new tax credits for stand-alone storage in the inflation reduction act. Total planned storage capacity is estimated at 28.5 GW, twice as large as California, S&P Global Market Intelligence said last month.

> Texas developers have benefited from a more streamlined grid approval process than other markets, with waiting times lower than the national average at around two years, but rising activity is increasing the pressure on power authorities.

> Around 110 GW of solar and storage capacity was in the interconnection queue at the end of 2021 and initial data shows this rose by over 50% last year, according to the Berkeley Lab.

And all of that is just solar and storage. There's many GW of gas peaker plants being planned as well.
It doesn't mean that, it just means you selected it out of the available options.
This is an odd set of tests.

Apart from the negative cache value, none of the numbers in a SOA record matter at all unless you're doing very old-school secondary DNS setups with AXFR/IXFR, usually with Bind or maybe NSD. That's rare these days, and not very secure. You really shouldn't use that.

A TTL of 30 minutes is a terrible idea if you're using DNS for failover with health checks, or load balancing, and a negative cache value of 30 minutes also seems unnecessarily long. That's a long time to have people impacted by a mistakenly deleted record.

The CD bit being set or not doesn't matter if you're not using DNSSEC. Though it's probably worth getting the bit correct.

From what I know, they mostly hire people at select elite campuses who are graduating from either their bachelor's, MBA, or PhD program. They hold recruiting events and you show up.

I believe it's quite difficult to get in any other way, but I'd be curious if anyone knows people who were working at another job and simply applied and got interviewed and a job.
>> Also, as usual, what's the definition of economy being used there? Money? Production?

Production. The first result on google for "Economic Growth" defines it.

Its 'dropping' fertility and population into the mix because his thesis is that declining population will lead to less innovation thus retarding economic growth. Innovation happening in a recession is not in any way a counterexample whatsoever.
Tamper-proof packaging is a poor replacement for a first-time boot replacement warning. Not to mention the sheer impracticality of properly implementing tamper proof packaging (the factory would have to cover the packaging in shiny nail polish or something, encrypt and send a high-res picture of that somehow to the final buyer across the supply chain, at which point the final buyer makes sure the glitters align). Much better to do it the way it's currently done
I think formatters are generally written by people who value consistency above other criteria, as many of the general conventions used when handwriting queries tend to break down as the complexity of the query increases. With these formatters I imagine complex queries would render in a more 'consistent' manner.
I followed this path too; it all worked, but the magic vfio incantations can change kernel to kernel, so there was always a fair bit of maintenance involved. I'd use Proton for 95% of my games, so whenever I had to fall back to vfio/Windows for a game for a while, everything would've changed. NixOS made this manageable, but it was never pleasant.

Have fun with the project; I'd be curious to know if (like me) you end up (sadly!) continuing to dual-boot for Windows only games. VFIO seemed like the dream end goal, and maybe it's gotten better since 2021, but for me at least, it got in the way more often than not.

I have rigged up a non-VFIO VM that boots off the same Windows partition though, so that I can log into it and run Windows updates once in a while without needing to do a full reboot.
If a repair shops wipes someone's phone they'll be pissed, but they aren't going to throw out the phone. As soon as they get back that phone they'll reinstall all their apps and log back into all their accounts and any malicious firmware added by that repair shop will wreak havoc.

I 100% agree that we should have ways of getting rid of these warnings on our own devices, but this isn't a simple problem.

That's an easily solved problem. We already have the pre-boot warning. It fixes that problem just fine. Add a reboot on initial setup and make it scarier if you're just setting up the phone and you'll be fine. A week after you've setup the phone there's no reason why you'd keep it.
I think current gen is a piece of the puzzle, but not the whole picture.

No matter how much hardware you throw at GPT, it's not going to reason against its own ingested material, but it could be a foundational part of an actual GAI the way that a battery led to the creation of a laptop. (maybe not that far apart, but the analogy stands)
