> The project itself may not be large, but if it's pulling in 517 dependencies, that's a lot to compile.

Why do you need to build hundreds of dependencies if you're not touching them?
No, nepotism is covering someone who's _failing_ at their duties, yet retaining them due to familial connections.

Otherwise, what are you really mitigating by refusing to hire your CTO's nephew? If he's a strong candidate, it's not pathological and calling it nepotism is pointless at best. Otherwise if CTO's nephew turns out to be a weak candidate and is let go then again, it's completely normal. If CTO's nephew is a bad hire, yet he's retained, then it's nepotism.
I feel like the nineties managed to combine the great optimism and worry about the future the internet (and our technological advancement in general) would bring.

I really do miss the optimism (the internet will bring the world's peoples together!), and feel like the cyber noire could help with a lot of the naivete about our surveillance state and the enormous amounts of power wielded by a few companies.
VLOPS come across as sanctioning US tech firms by the back door. There are always economic reasons at play, and the EU is trying to reign in the Intelligence advantage of the US, which ironically is hindered by the multitude of languages spoken in the EU.

Some many angles of this law could be discussed, I wonder if other commentators are displaying their bias.
There’s a minor whitespace glitch in both examples: the first gather() header is unnecessarily indented.

AFAIK it doesn’t matter; this isn’t Python. But it does make it a little harder to spot the mechanics at play.
The real problem here is two fold.

Windows and Macs have much longer support for OS updated, after which Chrome and other browsers still will receive updates for many years

Second the student testing software/services that schools are required to use is only certified for ChromeBooks that are officially supported by Google.

Once the units are no longer supported for testing, they have almost no value to schools even if the are otherwise still fully functional
Most of us know how to, nothing really is crazy about it especially for soft paywall, but a lot of the times I (and maybe others) will be using my phone with in-app safari browser for a quick glance at the articles, doing all the workarounds when it can be simply avoided is unnecessary.

>I'm hopeful. no_std rust binaries can be near competitive with C.

I feel like Rust without std might as well be a different language. Almost all of the available mindshare, docs, libraries are dependant on it.

Sure, you can use it. But to me it just looks like technological poverty. Even compared to the C ecosystem.
Exactly this. At this point the obsession with categorising potentially useful & useable behaviour as UB should be widely acknowledged.
You're giving them money because they're serving you ads in the first place.

I appreciate advertising money pays the salaries of people in such companies, but there are other less intrusive ways. Since I've grown up with the evolution of internet advertising, my brain is wired to just ignore it. I can't saying I've knowingly be influence by any form of internet advertising, ever.

A better solution for all concerned would just be to watermark a corner of a video with 'sponsored by company X' than the hours of human effort wasted in squeezing 30 seconds of adverts into everything, and the effort of people to block and get around that.
Because YouTube ads like all ads are annoying. For the couple of times a month I end up watching something on YouTube by luck, why would I care about “creators”.

I don’t use Spotify.
Fine, but why bother sneaking them in as refugees when you could just bribe any number of cab drivers already in the vicinity?

Perhaps it was not entirely altruistic of Google to get into the K12 Education market to begin with.

Consider that kids who grow up are often inclined to choose computers (or whatever they used in school) as a familiar thing that they have experience and skills with. For example, introducing me to Unix in college cemented my career as a sysadmin, and I eagerly ran Minix/BSD/Linux at home at the first opportunity.

So if Google could earn itself some brand recognition and some product-based goodwill from young students by furnishing a Chromebook for everyone to play/work on for their formative years, I think it's a win that doesn't even need them to calculate the backlash from rapidly-obsolete eWaste in the future.

If you don’t care about the creators then why watch the content? Sure, the subscription might not make sense to you, but either the content has some value or not. The ads are the value exchange.

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t like the ads either.
> stereotypes exist for a reason

True, but also a way of making avoidable mistakes.
Interesting, Apple allows for expedited reviews in case of a critical bug or something time sensitive. IIRC you can demand that twice a year. I assumed Google would have the same.
The article briefly talks about that. I’ll save you the hunt.

“ This unboxing and setup has been fun, but I’d like to block all the bad traffic on my network. I’ve been using a workhorse of a DNS-level adblocker called Pi-Hole on a… yes, Pi, but it would be nice if I can reclaim that wee bit of hardware for something else and use a comparable add-on module in pfSense. Let’s explore that now.”

So basically that was only doing DNS level blocking. This article is about traffic decryption and manipulation.
Heck, you may be able to do it with eBPF or some other low-level hardware-accelerated packet filter.

Ehh, the Red Cross’s budget is 3 Billion and they spend 670 million on disaster relief and 360 million on admin.

If your goal is to support disaster relief then they are an inefficient use of your resources. However, they also run blood drives and then sell the blood which is part of their overall budget independent of donations. $921 million is just salaries for people running blood drives, with similar expenses for overhead on supplies and equipment.
It's all related. High tech has a lot of negative impacts which are rarely if ever evaluated and more importantly compensated. The reason is they bring in money.

The entire supply chain and lifecycle of a product should be evaluated to understand if it is a net positive or a net negative. Not only the finished product: "wow eye tracking how cool let's deploy everywhere regardless of how the materials for that tech are mined and how the device will be recycled once obsolete".

Part of the objection to ads is the tracking.

If you subscribe to YouTube premium you’re making yourself even more identifiable.

You end up seeing more creepy ads elsewhere on the web using your viewing history to target you.

Versus an adblocker which will help hide you from Google everywhere.
My general rule of thumb here is, if there's a way I can pay for the service, and that payment eliminates ads, then I'll gladly pay for it.

Else, I'll block the ads.

I agree it's not fair to anyone involved to break the monetisation strategy.

Soliciting donations without a permit is potentially illegal in my country, so selling a worthless item might be a better way to go about it. Might be something like that.
Pihole is still a wonderful application. I use it on my home network. One drawback that the pihole has vs pfSense is pihole cannot do anything about devices that have hard coded DNS ips (aka 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8 etc).
There was a bit of a discussion regarding this in another post (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37273507)

I myself believe there is something sus going on in Xinjiang, but it's hard to prove what exactly is going on and if something is going on, considering all the misinformation that is spreading from all sides.

You cited rfa.org as your source which is US-funded news agency.
You should be careful with citing sources from media outlets like CNN, BBC, NY Times, WSJ without being a little bit critical.

The Victims database and XinJiang database project have allegedly had fabricated identities, witnesses & overall cases.

The biggest challenge for me has been to find a reliable source without it coming indirectly or directly from the chinese gov.

Anyways, here's where I got some of the information from (Chinese gov funded news)

Some music:

Big Star - “#1 Record”
Classic rock you could swear you’ve heard before but probably haven’t cause it had no radio play in its day.

Os Mutantes - “Os Mutantes”
What if The Beatles were Brazilian?

Chico Hamilton - “El Chico”
Just really good jazz that isn’t a household name but people into jazz know pretty well.

Porter Ricks - “Biokinetics”
Ambient electronic waterworks from the late 90’s

micronism - “inside a quiet mind”
excellent late 90’s electronic that was released without much fanfare

John Cale - “Paris 1919” and “Fear”
Just great rock/alt music from the early 70s. Especially check out the title track on Paris and Barracuda and You Know More Than I Know on Fear

Ben Johnston - “The Crossings: Ascent, String Quartet No. 4”
Accessible avant garde classical. Microtonal string quartet with a big, heart-filling and beautiful payoff.

Saint Heron
An awesome alt RnB/Soul compilation album from the naughties, I think curated by Beyoncé’s sister Solage, who also makes excellent music. Must be so hard having that kinda talent and be overshadowed by your sister so much.

Madvillain - “Madvillainy”
Not underrated, but unless you listen to boom bap indie rap, maybe hasn’t hit your radar.

Lil’ B - “I’m Gay”
The inventor of the term “based” drew major flack for this album title because he is not homosexual and meant “happy” but while confusing I don’t think that’s insulting at all. It’s the most accessible album I think he’s made and he is so prolific… man needs a greatest hits album because sifting through his work is normally a damn chore, so this album is a well compiled blessing

>How would you read Japanese without kanji? The lack of a space character makes all hiragana sentences far less legible than sentences with kanji which act as word boundaries.

They could just start using spaces. They use the button anyway to cycle through the different kanji that they've typed out in kana or latin.

In latin script text we recognize words as "symbols" of the language. Words might be composed of characters, but you don't read them one character at a time. You see the start, the shape, and the end of word. Based on that you know what word it is and what it means. You can raed scrmabled text withuot isseus.

Japanese would gain the same kind of recognition if it were only written in hiragana and katakana. It already has that anyway. You don't scrutinize whether it is the actual correct kanji. If it looks close enough it's good enough.

I think a bigger potential problem would be homophones. Japanese words seem to like using the same sounds for a lot of different meanings. (I wonder if that's why their language has so many English loan words.)

I think it's definitely possible, but it's up to them. Having a harder language isn't necessarily a bad thing.
Seconded (no pun intended)

> I don't get why people block ads on YouTube, robbing individual creators. It's not like hulu or Amazon where you are just robbing megacorp and predatorial studios.

How much does YouTube/Google/Alphabet get from each ad view and how much of that goes to the actual uploader of the video? If the ratio is less than ~50%, I wouldn't feel too bad about it.

Secondly, not every could afford the $10 price, but still doesn't want to view ads. These people wouldn't pay the $10 price regardless.

Thirdly, if you follow this procedure and strip the ads from the stream, does that make it so YouTube doesn't count the ad impression?
>Korea used to use Chinese characters too, they eventually (mostly) dropped them in favor of something simpler.

I guess it can't hurt. But I wish WP's hooks fired less (read: once instead of multiple times), that would certainly help.

It's also somewhat disheartening that this:

Saving processing cycles by optimizing foreach - In WordPress Trac ticket #58457

made it into the code base in the first place, and stayed there for so long. Even if you're not focused on optimizing, the new & improved code simply makes better sense.

As a side note, my understanding is if elses are slightly more expensive than plain ifs.

Therefore:

if ( 1 === $x ) {
$y = 'foo';
} else {
$y = 'bar';
}

is slightly better as:

$y = 'bar';
if ( 1 === $x ) {
$y = 'foo';
}

There's no need for an else. Minor? Perhaps. But if nothing else it shows you're thinking, are intentional, etc.

I didn't describe a utopian scenario. More like a dystopian one. The Defense applications do exist, but I expect the advertisers to dominate as they usually do.
At the same time, "build vs buy" isn't always as straightforward as it sounds. You can easily end up doing a lot more work to integrate a bought component/service into your app and customize its functionality to do exactly what you want vs just building a much simpler version. I've seen companies blow many hundreds of engineer hours and thousands of lines of code on integrating with some SaaS, dealing with API changes that were out of their control, that could've just been a hundred lines of code written in an afternoon for a simpler version that handled everything they would need for years to come. You have to actually consider the tradeoffs and what you're getting for your money.
Steam works out-of-the-box in Fedora Silverblue, via Flathub.

Ubuntu avoids Flatpak for strategic reasons, which is a valid choice that might make sense for developers, but it also makes Ubuntu less easy-to-use for people who just want to use their computer.

Either:

- He doesn't want to say "looking to develop eye tracking tech for my world-coin scam", since most devs won't touch that thing. Conveniently found a "friend" with ALS.

I highly doubt that. it is still only a client-side parameter. the server will still know whether you have paid or not

I found it interesting it didnt utilize the X reg. Maybe instead of updating Y, X could have been used. Then I scrutinized the Y reg use:

On line 14, it uses Y, then decrements it to 0, uses it, increments it, uses decrements, uses it, then increment again.. why not perform the indirect load on lines 18 and 26 without the Y index and eliminate lines 16, 21, and 25?

here's my pseudocode:

rc2 <= base of struct

rc4 = rc2 + 4 // addr of dx

rc5 = rc5 + 0 // addr of x

rc6 = *(&rc2+4)

rc4 = *(&rc4+1) // get low byte

rc5 = rc6 + *(&rc2) // add high byte

rc4 = rc4 + *(&rc2+1) // add low byte

rc2 = rc5 // store high result

*(&rc2+1) = rc4 // store low result

I believe it could have done more to do the work in place, but my batt is about to die :(
I'd disagree. Using something like Embassy is pretty pleasant for embedded development, less worries than C. The only issue is maturity.
