While I don't disagree with you at all, the majority of burners are probably not well supplied build leads for their own camps.
I went last year and while I was very well supplied and had a large RV with my own solar-powered refrigerator, I met up with friends that were not as wealthy and probably fit the typical profile for burners. They stayed in a tent, were at a camp with a centralized power source with a somewhat strict rationing system. They typically planned out their day such that most meals involved free food prepared using ingredients procured from a service that required driving into the campgrounds to make deliveries every day to many different camps. Many burners depend on water that is also delivered by water trucks that to perform water deliveries that were ordered and scheduled weeks before the event. You may be neglecting that not everybody is well-supplied and could barely afford the ticket and transportation.

Your average CS agent slogging through helpdesk tickets (particularly for a company whose core users are gamers and normies) might not even know what an ASN is.

I notice that that part of the video is highlighted in "most replayed" now, possibly as a result of this discussion.

I know Grey has mentioned in the past being confused about traffic surges to his videos, so wonder if he noticed this one. But then he's also mentioned reading hacker news at times, so maybe he read this comment too.

The typical hello world is actually a CHIP 8 emulator, which is a type of VM that ran on an old calculator, the specifics of which elude me. It's got a tiny memory space, simple instructions and a handful of features, so it's the sort of thing you can get up and "running" with minimal effort. It lets you explore the high level concepts involved in running a "guest" system on some hosts, and tickles the challenge of synchronizing the timing and dealing with video and sound, without being overwhelming the way a physical console can be.

I’m not going to get into the Mac vs Windows flamewar but I worked at a place with this infuriating attitude about crashes. Our (desktop) application crashed so much that customers were complaining. Instead of, you know, fixing the crashes, the tech lead declared that we would instead build a “launcher” app that just sat in the background and restarted the application every time it crashed. Horrible “crashes are inevitable and hard to fix!” attitude. Talk about a morale killer.

The website pulls it directly from the JSON “index” files in each mirror repo at build time, and there isn’t a metadata dataset with the versions yet. You can use the parquet indexes for this I guess, but it could be simpler.

I always recommend people to jump in the deep end. If you want to learn something, use it. And use it exclusively.

Get yourself an independent system, preferably a separate computer with only Linux. Or maybe squeeze 20-50 gig from one your Windows partitions and put Linux on that as a dual-boot system if you can't find a spare computer lying around.

Set yourself a workable period, say two months. Mark the calendar.

Now, no cheating, but boot up nothing but Linux* until that two months (or whatever time you have set yourself) is over. You will not permit yourself to use Windows for anything at all during that time. You need that time to 'unlearn' the Windows-Way. And you will do everything on that Linux machine whether that be sys-adminning, surfing the Web, or programming.

You are going to strike roadblocks that you know, from years back, how to fix in Windows. Your challenge now is to work around that roadblock using Linux only. Google is your friend. You will learn to get around that roadblock, and get some knowledge under your belt. Rinse, repeat.

If you want to learn regex, use your new-found Linux knowledge to write bash scripts to automate your daily tasks. (Practise using 'sed', 'awk' and 'grep')

* Obviously, if you have to use Windows at your day-job, I am not talking about using "Linux only" there.

I do use the GUI, but I have to agree in the ebook-covert tool being top notch. I once pulled a massive amount of books and videos from a particular publishers online platform. I can't remember the details but I wanna say the tool I used left me with html files with images stored in various folders or something. Ebook-convert handled thousands of books with very few having some formatting issues or outright failures. Most of the issues were the tables being way oversized and the text inside them not scaling correctly. I suspect I could fix this fairly easy, as I do still have all these books, but I just haven't gotten around to it. My data hoarding tendencies start to come out when scarcity is on the horizon and I will waste much time archiving something I'll never use on occasion.
This shouldn’t be all that surprising to people. We were a couple months into the pandemic, and we heard companies extolling the benefits of remote work.

This was presumably based on;
1) short term data
2) a desire to keep their company valuations high
3) a workforce that already knew their jobs and colleagues very well from years of working in person
4) remote workers with pretty much nothing better to do but work

It’s 3 years later. It’s curious that many online commenters were only willing to buy the first set of statements through.

Good.
Of course, the issue is they don't have an ai industry. The idea that they do is a CCP talking point theyve been pushing lately. They're pumping out fake ai crap all over the internet.
Good point, I think I misinterpreted the conversation in the second screenshot.

I think the point is still relevant though: if these are the ASNs connected to a server which you know has 10 active users, for example, then there is still a potential privacy concern.

Sure, you can see the incentives for the CS agent to act that way, but I don't think that negates the point of this post - if you're relying on it for business, you should probably consider a provider that has not set up their CS staff's incentives this way.

How powerful the new chip design is remains an open question. Unusually, Huawei revealed little about key aspects of the phone in its announcement, such as whether it was 5G-enabled or what process was used to produce it. In a statement, Huawei simply touted the phone as making breakthroughs in "satellite communications."

MidJourney is successful despite being on Discord, not because of it.
If you are relying on a third party social media platform for your business:

- make sure you have at least 3 aged accounts that have full administrative privileges. When one gets banned make/buy a new one immediately.

- never use a business account for personal reasons

- use a third party service for the sms verification, and a unique email for each account.

These three rules have kept me out of trouble in spite of repeated bans.
This reminds me of the questions in Babylon 5.

I find the trend of businesses using Discord as their primary support/community platform troubling.

It not only makes Discord an unaccountable gatekeeper of business communications and data, as demonstrated here, but also unfairly forces customers to either accept Discord's terms and conditions (which are not what they signed up for) or be left behind as second-class citizens.

Good luck, bottiger1. I hope you get it resolved.

Firstly, thank you for engaging on it.

The problems:

1) people who are sending important emails are ending up with the wrong person and they don’t know. Fixing that takes effort on my part, I have to tell individuals or a group mail I’m the wrong person. A bounce would fix that, instantly with no effort. I sometimes try find the right person. That also takes effort, I have to look for clues. Locations, work hints etc.

2) I’m fairly careful with my email. Others aren’t. Most of the spam I get is linked to the wrong address. Those should also be bounces. Because I get mail for all dot variants, I get a multiplied amount of spam compared to just my version.

3) I’m pretty sure a dodgy money making racket is to sign people up via affiliate programs in the hope some of those get added. I see this in a huge amount of random email lists, products etc. I’d say 80% minimum of those use the no-dot version. The problem is that 80% I shouldn’t have to put up with. The people doing this are just being lists of addresses and firing them at anything that works. They aren’t targeting me, they’re just using the strings they’ve harvested. So they don’t know about the version I use.

The Microsoft issue pushed me over the edge. I’m now going to trash that entire set of problem for my own (selfish) purposes by filtering it out. The people being harmed are those whose contacts mis-type addresses and now eg invites to funerals will go to trash.

The current wave definitely lost steam lately https://www.cnbc.com/2022/12/28/metaverse-off-to-ominous-sta... and if Apple's entry with with Vision line in 2024 manages to kickoff of another growth phase (which likely wouldn't actually happen until a year or two after that launch even if it were going to happen) I would be surprised if it wasn't viewed as a completely separate wave of VR from the ~2015 era. I could well end up wrong but to me (if it happens to take off) it'd be like the iPhone successfully defining the smartphone and changing sales volumes but people saying it's all just been the same wave of portable phones from a decade prior.

So discord is something I use for voice-chatting and shitposting with friends, typically while also playing video games.

Can anyone tell me why they would ever use it for anything remotely serious? Can you tell me why you'd want to stake your livelihood on a walled garden designed for video game voice chat and sharing rickroll videos?

Not only that, I can't take seriously a business that uses discord. Like, what are you doing? Are you selling curated rickroll videos? God-tier cat memes? Do you do shitpost editing and enhancing? Like that what the fuck are you doing that your business needs to use discord, an app for vidya gaymen? It just gives me this puerile vibe, like this "hello fellow kids" kind of thing.

I'm genuinely curious what this app does for your business that seemingly couldn't be fulfilled by anything else.

On the side: I really hate the "make it less complex" PR comments because it's not complex, it's just hard to read, and that's usually because the reader doesn't know about them.

Very nice.

Reminds me of a Steve Jobs(?) quote about how things like are should be a feature not a product. Gnome has this built in and I think Windows does too. I recall a number of times when I wanted to look at dates while using a mac and had to open the Calendar app to do that instead of just using a calendar widget in the OS menu/task bar.

+1 for itsycal.

- solid integration with macOS Calendar app (shows all your events and has a "+" option to create new ones)

- can also display a time clock along with the date and also has fully customizable datetime patterns meaning you fully replace the system date/time. I especially love doing this and now being able to just click on the date time in the menubar and see a calendar popup (instead of datetime settings which I never need quick access to) similar to the Windows clock
Only free. I thought it was free and open source.

I still love it, though
