How do I get my time back when I see an ad for something I don't want to buy? Can I get the profit from the ad when it wastes time off my life?

If not, fuck them. I'll do everything I can to block ads and poison their data on me.
The hubris of this is phenomenal. People have ancestral homes in places that have become carcinogenic because of industrial activity they didn't ask for, the best job opportunities are often in places that you must go to in order for your family to have the best opportunities possible.

The amount of privilege in asking this question is just shocking. As if people can so easily choose where they live. Try telling miners and nomadic construction workers that.
It's hardly specific to Windows. All the major Linux distros have excellent package management systems, and yet many, many packages and applications choose to ignore these in favour of party solutions, scripts, or even curl https://not-malware.trustme.lol | sudo bash style hodgepodge.

That ship has now sailed for (almost?) all manufacturers, but I would like to remind that Apple was the pioneer in normalizing anti-consumer practices like non-removable batteries.

Which AI? And it doesn't even matter as long as it doesn't try us like we treat each other.
I don't see the point, all this software is meant to run on *nix. Also OpenSCAD sucks. I tried it, made a few things, it's objectively a worse way to do parametric modeling and lacks some really basic features like fillets.

FreeCAD has been p great OTOH, and has baked in support for OpenSCAD scripts, if you really need that.

If you are not allergic to the cloud or proprietary solutions, Onshape is a very good tool with it's own set of annoying things.

Yes, usually, you must recheck your content regularly and check if old content validates for new tags, or if old tags have shifted in meaning, splitted into new subtags, etc. But this does not necessarily mean you should check everything, and regularly must not mean every week or month. Just review small parts of your library for changes, occasionally as you have time, the improvements will come over time by themselves.

A never changing library, is a dead library.

I use to run a lot of tasks on Amazon’s Mechanical Turk and the hardest problem I had was the people I call “Superturkers” who would do a very high volume of work that is just barely acceptable in quality.

On some level they are very hard working and if I banned them it would take longer to get my tasks completed. If they did 5% of the work that they do the low quality wouldn’t bother me because (1) a little of that diluted in the whole is OK and (2) the individuals would not come to my attention.

With some feedback some of those people might get better (I was always open to paying more for quality) but I also didn’t want to get into arguments with those folks.

Isn't this effectively just letting all services access a central database? E.g. letting them all run SQL queries against Postgres?

Seems like overengineering to replicate the DB to each machine when we have Postgres with read replicas or dbs like cockroachdb.

Like why replicate your 10GB DB to all 30 of your machines when they can access a 3x3 DB cluster instead? Seems like it's asking for issues, as now your machines are no longer stateless and have to play catch up if they go down before they can serve queries.
That's why I always avoid installing any apps on my phone, if I can live with a website version. Yes, websites also try to collect as much as they can, but at least there I have a browser sandbox and a possibility to use an uBlock Origin.

Of course, the issue is always with other apps that don't have a website version and require the internet to work. There, one needs to be much more careful about what he installs, and to prefer open source when possible.
I totally agree here. The bill is great in spirit but this could be onerous for small companies.
And of course, the author is paid for doing a job not for (just) living there. It's like me saying "I got paid to live in Berlin".

Persistent user-specific state needs to live in a persistent user-specific location. You could choose not to use the concept of a home directory, but you would be doomed to reinvent it.

To me, at the time the movie came out, it showed that David was someone interested in technical matters, IMSAI stuff has never been cheap, and the speech board re-enforced that notion in my mind.
This is not a solved problem until they support DMA-BUF import (i.e on laptops with iGPU and Nvidia GPU, your external monitor connected to Nvidia will be very sluggish as the compositor will have to copy the framebuffer - rendered on the iGPU - to nvidia GPU using CPU instead of directly importing it to Nvidia GPU using DMA-BUF)
It can mean a lot of effort, yes, but in a lot of cases you can drastically reduce the number of items to re-tag by defining some simple relations between tags. For example tag A may require tag B to exist but not C, etc.

In the end maintaining order always requires effort, if you have a hierarchical folder structure and you decide to add another category you have the same problem.
And realistically folders are "good enough" for most situations, you can choose for each file how fine-grained the categorization should be and the mental overhead for finding a file is often not that bad.
The fact that they refer to "this game" multiple times in their comment when clearly it is a game creating framework, and not a game.
(Tangentially Related): There's a subreddit that measure's "how timeless" a song is based on terms/idioms used in the lyrics and checking the etymology of said terms.

It then ranks how far back in time you could transport the song based on when those terms were in use, or if there are readily swappable analogs for them.

I've recently been giving Xfce a try again on one of my machines, and even though I still prefer KDE on my main machine, I've been quite enjoying it. Especially the SPEED of it has been astonishing. Everything is just absolutely instant. I also really like the "spartan" feel of it.

Probably the main thing I'm missing from KDE is being able fo use Super+Number to switch between windows, i.e. Super+1 switches to the window at the first position in the taskbar, etc.. I've been searching around, but haven't found anything that'd be 100%. Would anyone happen to have a solution by any chance?
I didn't know people used xfce as their main desktop, I had only experienced it because it's easy and resource light to set up for VNC. It's cool to see people singing its praises. It was always definitely adequate for my 'remote development with desktop GUI' needs.

Funny how with anything on the internet there's always Ayes and Nays. It's almost hilarious to me about humans that "the market always segments" into all these trivial seeming (but decidedly important if you have skin in the game) choices.

I'm not questioning at all the importance of UI and UX in any way. It's fundamental. These visual virtual environments are the primary tools we humans use every day for our information manipulation snow-shoveling knowledge work. They have to be refined and have exquisite ergonomics tailored to our every whim. That's undeniable and it's not surprising at all that people have strong preferences.

I just think it's funny that people can't seem to agree, on anything. The market always segments.

Example from my business: we build a remote browser that has a kind of real time streaming optimized for adapting many bandwidth conditions to reduce lag (which often occurs by trading away raw framerate). For some people (normally the security conscious crowd), this is perfect. For other people (the app virtualization crowd) this is terrible: they want silky smooth high framerate remote streaming. I suppose people get could lectures about trade-offs, but it really is a kind of enjoyable thing: there's always something to work on.

An advantage of being open source is people can tweak it to their needs as much as they want. There's no bottlenecks in the system besides what you want to do, and how much compute and bandwidth you can throw at it. It can be as fast and smooth, or as resource efficient and minimal as you want.
Show HN: Improved freemusicdemixer – AI music demixing in the browser
Hi HN,

Last time I showed free-music-demixer, which people seemed to enjoy. It was a static website with a Javascript + WASM module to perform music demixing (or music source separation) using an AI model UMX-L (Open-Unmix) running client-side in the browser.

Since then, I have overhauled the project and made several improvements:

- The demixing/separation quality is higher now, since I implemented the missing post-processing step

- Memory usage is lower now by performing a custom segmented inference with a streaming LSTM, which should allow larger tracks (or, dare I say, arbitrarily-large tracks)

- There is a batch upload feature now to demix an entire folder of songs (and provide zip files of the stems)

- There are now dev logs printed to the website to show the progress better
Investor behaviour around Apple events seems... weirdly predictable. Up before, down after. It's so predictable I'm surprised it doesn't get smoothed out more by people trading against it.
What's a tender and why does it need 7 years of support?

Is reading the official docs section on concurrency lots of research?
I only recently learned that a late friend of mine (Lloyd Smith) had a business in the early days of taking these systems, splitting the power bus, and adding a second power supply to beef them up to be able to run with all the slots full.
I disagree with you; therefore by your own logic, I am right.
It's a linear power supply and uses twice as much electric as a modern switch mode power supply, if I remember correctly. But very reliable as long as the capacitors are in good condition.
Looks really cool, I like to make very minimalistic dependency choices for the web apps I work on. Web Components look interesting and it's great to see frameworks that build upon it and provide features that are currently missing from it.

When I landed on the page I remembered another Realm framework I used a lot long time ago. https://realm.io has the same name and the logo looks very similar too. Not sure if it's a problem, just wanted to share. :)
He certainly wanted to, but didn't have enough support, especially from foreign nations.

He might actually end up in jail because of his plans to do a coup. We'll have to wait and see.

Another issue is websites that incessantly push you to install their stupid app. Like, oh, pretty much all of them. LinkedIn, Reddit, insta.

They mainly want you to use the app so they can collect more data obviously.
I’ve been using it with KDE on my laptop and desktop (which has an Nvidia GPU).

The laptop is flawless, and the desktop only has minor issues with display configuration (order and/or resolution) getting messed up sometimes when waking from sleep. I’m pretty sure that’s an Nvidia driver bug.

Anyways, it is 100% usable. To say otherwise suggests you haven’t actually tried using it within the past 2 years (at least)

It's more than that - it's a new generation of techies who grew up in a "mobile first" world, and view the mouse as an archaic input device.
I wish the back button would bring back the rendered view of a page from a cache so that it would be (a) instant, and (b) not make any network requests.

It seemed to me that older versions of the Opera browser did this, and the text-based "links" browser seems to do this today.
Kind of. Many are military. When my coworker (in Iowa) was there in the 80s, he was the only non-military over-winter person there. He worked for the weather service.
I kind of wonder how much of this is driven by weird retail investor behaviour. Like, I don't think there were any surprises for the analysts in this event. Apple does _not_ sell you a phone a year, never has, never will. The buyers of this phone will be, overwhelmingly, at least two generations behind, like with all iPhones; the "upgrades phone every year" market is tiny and completely irrelevant.
At which point, inevitably, a new generation of devs will look at the now-huge wayland codebase and say "what is all this cruft?! who wants color management in what should just be a display protocol? let's start over and This Time We'll Get It Right™", and the circle of life will continue.
> So? They believed a lie

Many a coup started with the people believing in lies.

In fact, that's usually what happened historically.
"Surely whatever money these guys spend buying these zero-days, Apple is rich enough to increase their bounties large enough to attract them to right side instead?"

You assume it's just money and not poltical idealogy or "because I can, when I can."
Someone got a nice re-election contribution to exempt "video game consoles" from the bill.

No mention of what makes video game consoles so miraculously different than a video camera, television, etc.

It seems like a good step for consumer rights aside from that.
I hope this will be a slow transition but I am pretty sure it will since that's how xfce usually works.

I switched to xfce not so long ago after almost 15 years of using KDE for that slow pace exactly. I had small problems and annoyances with KDE on nvidia for a long time but it got worse over time and reached a breaking point lately. Not even talking about Wayland.

Anyways, I am happy to have a rock solid and stable alternative like xfce.
Sounds interesting! Can you please share the transcript?
It was absolutely normal for most times for most people. I cited a source for you. I’ve spent a tremendous amount of time in my life studying social conditions and the daily experience historically. I get the feeling we’re not going to be able to meet on this. If expertise isn’t enough for you, well, it is what it is.

I remember seeing a web dev (!) job for the Antarctic Survey years ago where you stay there, probably in summer.
I used to use sth like that too. Then a set of apps from a scummy telephony provider in my country showed me evidence of how they circumvent this.

Turned out, all apps from this vendor talked to each other, in the background. If one app has filesystem access but no network access, and another has network but no filesystem access, the former can upload private filesystem data by sending it through the latter.

Those big fat books are, from my experience with math books, definitely not written in a way to teach well.

Programming languages can be broken down to their syntax. For experienced programmers, I recommend starting by reviewing a language's reserved keywords then skim over any core lib, for example: https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/keyword

There are similar shorter paths for people. However, I'd note that most people who went to school for CS have already taken math classes through at least linear algebra, and because of interest, many also took game development classes. At least, I did. I actually wrote a game myself from scratch in C++ in high school in the days before youtube, when there was very little guidance on the internet. It was bad, but if I could do it as a child, others can certainly do better today.

Rabbit holes never end. Professionally, I learn in sort of random directions, at least learning what I need for my next task. But it's impossible and completely unnecessary to have complete knowledge of anything. YAGNI.
I think that, what investors want out of a new iPhone, and what I want out of a new iPhone, are very different. Investors want a phone that makes Apple lots of money, I want a phone that is good.
The military get paid too.
I wonder why they chose to implement the LiteFS as Fuse module, instead of simply hacking SQlite to intercept the IO operations before they go through to the OS.

Yes it would require a patch and a recompile, but performance would be superior by not having to go through the kernel and Fuse, and there would be fewer moving parts.
Fundamentally they need a tabular data store. Most everything else is a nice to have/usability point.

SQLite is also an auto contained file. There are similar tabular GUI tools that could let you interact with sqlite using a similar workflow. Users knowing that thing is not inherent, they had to be trained on it, and they can be retrained as they will be for other workflows and business tools.

Remember, you still need an external app (Excel) to open it's files, the files themselves are just data, exactly like sqlite. So you could just make an excel plugin to interface with SQLite.

SQLite is as version-able as an excel file, as in not very with standard tools.

Why are you pasting images into excel? Doesn't matter, sqlite handles that fine actually. https://www.sqlite.org/fasterthanfs.html

The main argument against sqlite is that you would need to build an interface or figure out how to train folks on existing tools. That's not a huge argument against it in my experience, it's a strong social/political one in many orgs but rarely a technical issue.
I imagine that it is by design. For me, I prefer a more "lifelike" experience, with shadows, curves, etc. But I was wondering if there was a way (theme) to make it so for KDE, as I really like the tech.

> just letting their internal ad systems use your data so that advertisers can reach you with targeted ads

Your distancing yourself from your former employer's practices is appreciated but Google monopolizing click and all other web usage data isn't any better than keeping those for themselves from an antitrust PoV (as opposed to selling the data under FRAND terms).

There's no way around taking Chrome development and monopoly influence on web standardization away from Google as one outcome of ongoing antitrust lawsuits.
The irony is that many things that are advertised as wireless actually need wires, and things that aren't, don't.

Apple's problem with games isn't compatibility, not really. It's their complete lack of consistency and commitment to the market. They keep doing things which seem kind of steps in the right direction (that old controller standard, Apple Arcade, some really fairly decent hardware in low-cost devices like the Apple TV), but they've never been committed enough to get the ecosystem to work.

(I'm still a bit surprised they haven't made some sort of first-party stick-on controller a la Nintendo Switch; that might finally jump-start the market.)

Are you trying to suggest that either you can't do that with sqlite, or that people didn't require training to do this in Excel?
