It’s interesting the contrast between the Zoom story (which got covered on pretty much all editorials) and that of companies that “only” use text as opposed to conversations from video and audio.

As the article points out, because there is no regulation and no clear definition of where the “privacy” line is being crossed - companies will do everything they can to get a competitive edge.

I am also a little baffled with how many editorials have blocked GPTBot but probably couldn’t explain why they did it, because once you hit that publish button - the very next day it’s going to be in a dozen different datasets, not to mention being passed around by data broker’s that rather stay secretive.

All this is setting such an insane precedent for the future of the web and how content will be created, I guess AGI is just that close and it’s going to be that great that it will solve all of our problems.
> The Sun [...] were also reporting (incorrectly) that Ebola was spreading at Burning Man

Can you substantiate this claim? I'm searching for such an article from The Sun and can't find anything. I have found numerous stories about the burning man ebola hoax, but none of them say The Sun participated in it.

I'm not saying you're lying, but maybe you fell for some fake news about fake news. I found this Reuters article about a faked screenshot of a Forbes article, purporting to show Forbes spread the hoax (they didn't): https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-burning-man-forbes...
Yea the methane thing has always seemed dubious, I looked into it more seriously years ago and came away with the same impression.

The use of hub motors is probably best when acceleration is paramount, but when handling starts to come into play (e.g., on road courses), it is likely best to bring the motors inboard and spend the extra weight and complexity of axles, as the unsprung weight outboard of the suspension is a serious detriment to handling.
Everyone in my family have iPhones with inductive charging.
I’m sure there is plenty of anecdotal evidence out there that goes either way on this. I have an iPhone 11 Pro Max that’s almost 4 years now that I wirelessly change every night and the battery health is 83%. I think that’s pretty good for a device I constantly use every day. I’m still on the fence on getting a battery replacement from Apple while I still can, as this phone is still perfectly fine for my needs.
Of course there are, they’re sold as “privacy” or sometimes “security” cables.

To be clear, “juice jacking” is not a thing anymore, but people are still foolishly worried about it so there’s a market.

Hmm, I've known several Apple users who have experienced the same thing. Both with branded Apple cables and third party ones. I seemed to notice lighting users having more dead cables than USB-C users seemed to, and it seems to me that lightning cables more frequently omit robust strain relief for aesthetic reasons.

The most frequent tendency I notice among people who have their cables fray is they use their phones while charging, but if you do certain things on your phone like long gaming sessions, you are almost forced to use your phone while it charges. So blaming the user feels a little bit like "you're holding it wrong" to me.

Where I did notice a difference between USB-C and lightning is that the lightning PORT seemed more durable than USB-C ports. I own multiple phones with flaky USB-C ports, whereas lighting ports seem much more durable.
I'd like to have a survey done, "What would you associate to the expression 'Page 3'".
It's far easier to pirate on PC yet we have plenty of non freemium games.
And hardest to pirate games on iOS yet theres a glut of freemium games.
On Android you'd still have to explicitly enable side loading

I don't think piracy is the issue here, the issue is on mobile devices you already have quick payments setup for very fast transactions through the app stores. It's easier to assume to assume the person using the phone authorized to make the transaction and enable lots of small transactions.

On PC it's much easier to enter my card details for each new transaction, so i never save the card in Steam etc. Doing the same on the phone is tiring, so i have my card saved.

Apple and Google also make a little money on these transactions and have less incentive to promote non freemium games.
not too terribly different from `sudo (curl | bash)`
There are some insane deals! Very sad I'm in Europe..

The text ...

> Return True if the string ends with the specified suffix, otherwise return False. suffix can also be a tuple of suffixes to look for. With optional start, test beginning at that position. With optional end, stop comparing at that position.

... without an example is NOT easier to use than an example for people learning Python. It uses language specific jargon (suffix, tuple), unexpected capitalization, and is needlessly terse.

How about ...

> Check if a string ends with a certain ending (or endings) and return True if it does, or False if it doesn't. You can specify one ending or multiple endings in a tuple. You can also choose where to start and stop checking within the string.

.. along with an example of code that can be easily copied? That is the value the other sites provide. Readability and usability.
My read wasn't that they made an assessment of vaccine on severity. Rather, I read that they found that it had no impact on transmission. They found that, on average, self reported severity correlated with transmission. However, they then state that transmission does not correlate with vaccination status.

I could hope that they mean there is no extra relation between vaccination status and transmission above reduced symptoms. I don't know why they would state it in the way they do if that is what they mean, though.
Yikes! I guess that's why I buy more AAPL stock than Apple Watches.

This seems like China and the US are both engaging in a welfare program for their militaries by running this perpetual "will China invade?!" sideshow.

Quietly give Taiwan some ground-based ICBMs and a couple fully-stocked Ohio-class subs, and this all goes away for a very low price.

I realize this proposal is total madness, but so is a hot war between China and the US, and this is a pretty good way to guarantee that that scenario stays off the table.
People who are still on dialup modems or very slow wireless ISPs with flaky connections. High Speed Internet is not universal even today, despite what web developers seem to think. Ever try to surf raw Facebook on a 128kbps wireless link? It's not fun. Cloud services are a joke for these people.

Hacker News is one of the last holdouts in the low bandwidth friendly website game.
Is it terrible advice? Those are quite strong words. I don't think it is terrible. It may not be for everyone but I can surely see that such a philosophy and approach to life can be fulfilling. I think it can make you focus, do less but do it better. Quality over quantity, kind of.
This is mentioned in the article, that home phone service is not even delivered by old copper wires anymore, but that's a good thing. Yes, it adds layers of complexity to provide phone over fiber (since now the fiber is pulling double/triple duty to give internet, phone, and cable) but not having to maintain separate physical plants is nice.

We have areas we provide DSL and phone service to which were underwater for months during the [0] 2019 Midwest US Floods. There are places where the buried lines are still fine for phone, but don't have nearly the signal resolution to handle even 5/1 DSL speeds. In those cases we switch customers to wireless supplied internet.

We have further areas where telephone pedestals are filled with 60 year old wires, which means the buried lines are likewise that old and can't offer much for speeds...it will be interesting to see what the true lifespan of fiber is because if you can build your plant out with fiber now, you won't need to bury anything new later on down the line. You just upgrade the boxes on the end of the fibers to something newer, hotter, with whatever technology replaces the distribution PON your current boxes run.

I also wonder how much value is left in abandoned, buried phone lines and if it would ever make sense to reclaim it at scale.

Valve has the steamdeck, a successful product in a market all it's own that runs exclusively on linux. Want your game to run well on it? Target linux.

They would never have gotten to the point of selling thousands of linux devices without wine to make their existing catalog work.

>Valve isn't going to be hurting by this. They won't give a shit either, just default back to the status quo.

You might not know this, but the steam deck is the culmination of over 15 years of work by VALVe to become independent of microsoft. They recognize the threat of living on someone else's OS and they've been working on that threat for very a long time.

Valve tried *exactly* your plan (bribing devs to care about a non-existent market) ten years ago with the Steam Machines, and it failed miserably. Their investment into WINE and the development of the steamdeck is the result of the lessons you refuse to accept.
Yup! That's missing some of the low frequencies I remember, but captures the mid-high. I guess "incredibly loud sheet of paper tearing" would have been another description.

Happy FileZilla user here, on my FreeBSD laptop. I move tons of files from remote astronomical observatory routinely, sometimes need to define custom rules - what to download, upload, filter across folders, etc. Sometimes I need to push a file from very low data-rate link from somewhere in the middle of nowhere to the observatory, sometimes over a satellite link. Sometimes I want a throttled download of a large queue so I won't overload my connection and leave some bandwidth to other users. Also, I have a directory of different FTP servers I work with, it's easy to keep them in one place. So, there you have it.

Any low-end Android phone is more than capable enough for 99% of daily use for less than half the price and you can get things like extended battery and, of course, USB-C charging. And yet Apple keeps eating into Android's market share. Apple owns their market on the strength of their marketing.
I think you tripped over the US way of presenting nutritional data per serving.

It's 0.5 g per 5-g serving, i.e. 10% (roughly same as Coke which I guess is generally agreed to be sweet).

USB 2.0 data rates have absolutely nothing to do with charging speed. You don't even need to support data (at least, USB data) at all to support fast charging speeds. You just need to support PD, which is on separate, required pins that both phones support.

Valve had no problem porting thousands of games to Steam Deck without paying developers a dime. It is a proven fact that a functional DXVK/Wine runtime can support more AAA video games than whatever Apple is paying for.

You keep bringing this around to revenue, but Apple could solve this problem if they didn't benefit from the status quo. A company 10x smaller than them did it, a company with full control over their hardware stack has no excuse to drag their feet and copy Open Source's homework.

I personally know a lot of people who didn't realize wireless headphones were a thing pre-Airpods. They seriously thought Apple created that market with the first wireless headphones.

I imagine a lot of people didn't know or think about wireless headphones until Apple made it a thing.
Good decision. Just like with Covid lockdowns. Somehow when you are away from a screen your mind expands, at least for me. Like the screen craves your attention and robs your thoughts. When I have some kind of problem with coding, I just move away from the computer, get a notebook, start scribbling and writing down things and the solution just comes.
They must have got it mixed up with systemd.

That is not at all the conclusion the author draws from this experience of his. Here's more of the paragraph, you quoted:

>Earthly being open-source, you could already run your own Earthly remote runner (since we use Buildkit underneath, it was essentially a remote Buildkit), connect Earthly to it, and get similar benefits to Satellites even before this was a commercial offering. And so people did this on their own, hosting it in their own environment, without us managing it for them. Once we had this packaged up in a managed offering, people were flocking to it, mainly because they did not want to manage remote runners on their own.

The author blames the failure on not validating what the were building was what clients wanted.

>Game Devs should just make Linux/Mac builds of their games" before I got into the industry. Targeting a platform, even when you have an off-the-shelf engine that does the lions share of the work for you, is not easy work.

No worries, I'm no seasoned veteran with 30+ years experience and a grey beard. But I've put my time into industry and have worked for two major engine platforms at some point. I know the "should make" is fleeting platitudes and that part of it is due to how horrible the historical guts of each engine is. I just hated being powerless to fix it despite seeing the code right there. But I guess I would have lacked the talent even if I got the go ahead.

Frankly, I've accepted that cruft and hope instead of moping about the state of modern middleware that I can focus that energy in making sure something like Godot or any other up and coming engine can avoid those same pitfalls (especially with Unity announcing those "per download" pricing and online check-in today... sigh. Maybe it was a good thing I got laid off). No matter the platform, my history tells me it's less about being some technical wizard and more about simply making sure care is taken in the foundations, and rules (and as a result, debt) aren't broken for so long that you lose that care.

>For the largest titles however, the ones with the highest likelihood of creating a striking experience for gamers, they are already facing incredibly difficult challenges in pulling off exactly what they're trying to pull off today. Their focus is on making a great game, for whatever benchmark they've set that defines it as great.

And as you mention, those titles trying to deliver striking experiences simply lack the time for that care. If only because business pressure don't allow for it. I'm not trying to make sure Diablo 5 runs on Linux and is open source. But if I can make it easier for future indies to target Linux and not rely on a Windows wrapper, or get crap out of the way for the like-minded devs that already put in the work to target Linux, that's good enough for this single person's mission.

>At the very least, if folks like Valve working with CodeWeavers and the greater WINE community are making games on Linux a mainstream notion with growing support, then the likelihood of Desktop Linux getting enough community traction to make native targeting feasible becomes a real possibility.

Sure, I know I came off negative but I don't see WINE as a bad thing (I have feelings about Valve, but that's another story). I'm simply thinking a bit farther ahead on the next steps, pitfalls, and tribulations. I'm not sure if Valve is and is instead fine relying on selling Linux hardware until they can't.

If Windows pulled off its own M1 chip tomorrow and it just broke 30 years of compatibility, would Valve double down on a Steam Deck 2 w/ Linux and throw all its talent onto fixing the myriad of issues with Proton? Or would it simply relent and throw Windows on it, maybe hoping in 5+ years WINE can get something working? I feel like it's the latter and then all that market share gained will drop like a rock. I want to mitigate that if I can help it.
That kind of betrayal is not standard business, it will absolutely destroy your long term rep.
It's a problem across society, not unique to the CIA.

Here's an intriguing theory: we live in what can be called a "managerial regime" [1]. This system of governance relies for its control and credibility not on democratic mandate but rather people's belief in its competence and expertise. Although there may be elections in this system, they have relatively little effect because decisions are actually made outside the realm of elected politicians.

Government agencies are a part of this system, as are universities, large parts of the media, many NGOs and so on. These people are effectively the ruling class and have shared class interests. These shared interests supersede their job descriptions: given a choice between being doing their job and being a "class traitor", or lying and remaining loyal, they almost always pick the latter.

A major element of shared class interest is the perception that highly trained/qualified people are both competent and honest by default. Anything that challenges this perception is a threat to their power and prestige, and thus must be undermined. This is why "fact checking" (a part of the managerial regime) is invariably so disinterested in real dispute resolution, deciding instead that whatever credentialed people at managerial institutions say is automatically true. If that were not the case, then the journalists pretending to check facts would become class traitors by fuelling claims of credentialed incompetence/dishonesty.

The origins of COVID point strongly towards gross credentialed incompetence and dishonesty not only by the scientists actually doing the work, but also the US government for funding it even though it was illegal at the time, and western scientists in general for engaging in a ham-fisted conspiracy to cover up that possibility.

If the CIA (or any other powerful body) were to institutionally disagree with the "expert" virologists, after they very quickly decided on the wet market origin theory, then this would not merely be a disagreement with the wet market theory but with the entire western system of credentialing, competence, knowledge and institutional management. It would directly challenge the widely held belief that scientists are inherently honest, which in turn would undermine the continual devolution of power away from politicians and towards the managerial class. In turn that would make the entire CIA class traitors, which would be intolerable, and thus the narrative must be aligned.

The same happened of course with other institutions like the New York Times, which fired its veteran reporter digging into the possibility of a lab leak and then replaced him with a woman who immediately announced that the lab leak theory was "racist".

You can enforce modularity with git acls, and multi-module workspaces within a single git repository.

for example:
golang - multi-module workspaces
javascript - yarn workspaces

With this setup, you can create modules a, b and c. And then add restrictions about which which modules are available to a given module
