I'm looking for a Junior or Intern position to break into IT professionally and build my credentials. If you or anyone you know needs /anything/ technical, be it data-entry or legacy system maintenance, drop a line! I'd be thrilled to have a position where I can leverage my methodical, calloused approach to bug-hunting and exploring technology stacks, developed over thousands of hours in TTY's and Texinfo manuals, or an excuse to learn something new like C++, Rust, or Elixir, but I'm open to anything that can serve as a jumping-off point for utilizing or expanding my skill-set.

Currently working on a set of portfolio projects, including a cgit fork that I'll be self-hosting them on shortly, but they're not quite ready to be publicized and I want to do them justice. Available next time or upon request.
I could be mistaken here, but as far as I know Microsoft Edge is still based on chromium.

Yup, they may still allow extension updates without going through review, but they'll still have to either fork or go along with manifest v3.
Maybe? Even where population isn't highly concentrated, niche businesses can exist via mail order or ecommerce (to gain access to global audience).
Tsk tsk thou shalt always assume good faith!
Firefox and Pocket are abusive too though
> Better coffee than Italy/France/etc

I get a macchiato at %[0] about once a week and it’s ridiculously next-level.

But for hanging out, I’d still prefer an Italian coffee bar in Italy. Does Japan have that kind of coffee culture too, or is it all the equivalent of selvedge denim?

I think Twitter’s survival may depend on Twitter employees conspiring to convince Elon his company-destroying tweets are publicly viewable, where instead they’re really “tweeted” into a Grok generated simulacrum of Elon-sycophantic Twitter, for his eyes only.

“Oh yeah, Elon, we saw it — it was so edgy!”
People have made this class of prediction in reference to oncoming technologies of many forms. Perhaps we've lost something valuable each time. Perhaps it has been worth it; perhaps not. Or, perhaps the predictions have been incorrect, partially or fully.
Not OP but I'd rather work than attend school.

> you need strong skills in both rock climbing routes 5.9+(grading for rock climbing, this being very difficult)

Additional context: you will be surprised at the easiness 5.9 is in the gym. Don't make this mistake outside; a 5.9 will kick your ass.
The best part about becoming bald is that I can shave my head in like 5 minutes for free. It’s wild to me that people will spend so much money on hair care but I guess I might do the same if I had any lol
Yep replacing tables with floats is just swapping one hack for another, with its own set of edge cases, browser incompatability etc.

The good news is now flexbox and grid work in all modern browsers, so this is (finally) a solved problem
My point is that in a physical tape you still only own a license of the content. This is a slightly less restrictive license than digital DRM, and is governed by copyright law, but is still a license.
It's really not hard anymore. I've used it for years, since I got rid of my abomination of a Vega64.

AMD drivers are built into the kernel and work out of the box, but they're still buggy. In my experience, at least 3 times I couldn't boot after a kernel upgrade due to buggy Vega64 drivers.

With more effective ad blocking in Firefox you'll process less and load less. And since Firefox lets uBlock Origin use WebAssembly the blocking runs faster and more efficiently too.

I think it’s mostly because mangas (and related creative work) narrates a more complex story than the hero/vilain showdown. The best comics I’ve read were East of West, The Sixth Gun, Descender,… I struggled to find one Pixar/Disney animated movie that is not a moral and preachy story.
It’s worth admiring businesses like this, though they may not be for the HN crowd that only thinks about companies that can scale to a billion dollars. If the AI dream becomes real, lots of the businesses around today are going to the next generation’s $200 comb.

For every industry mass production kills, there is at least one company that survives by making an artisan alternative.
Makes me think of the anime/manga Planetes, which follows the lives of future, er, space waste sanitation engineers.

Or the short story Tank Farm Dynamo, by David Brin.
I think you're underestimating the effect of "only 260" years of isolationism. They must have learnt to be self sufficient in many ways, not only in commerce.
> Weight in particular is hard to counteract because going around a corner relies on being able to redirect that mass using only the friction generated by the contact patch of the tires.

Are you sure about that? Tyre friction force is at least to first approximation proportional to vehicle weight, and so is the force needed to turn at a particular radius and speed, so they balance independently of weight. I'd say weight doesn't necessarily make a difference to turning ability. CoM height yes, though.
No, that's an "urban myth". Here is an article which describes some of the past https://www.usi.edu/news/releases/2017/02/rock-n-roll-and-mo...

> One of the moral panics associated with the first wave of rock 'n' roll was the fear of race mixing - that young black and white kids would get together over this music that had a rhythmic, primitive, sensuous beat.

I have no doubt that young black and white kids got together to the sound of the beat. I'm sure you can find some documented real cases of people of different races falling in love over their shared love of rock 'n' roll.
I don't think your examples are very convincing. To the extent that Nobel enabled bad things with explosives, the prizes were there to compensate and not celebrate them. And even though the word is very taboo today, eugenics are not inherently evil. They don't compete with Kissinger.
You can disable pocket though. Even if you don’t it doesn’t do anything other than take space on your search bar
Why not just use gparted to move the partition instead? Just three steps

1. Shrink the main partition
2. Move the main partition to the right, leaving free space between it and /boot
3. Resize /boot to fit into the newly freed space

That's what I did at one point to make my /boot 2gb or so, haven't had issues since.

I imagine there is quite an investment simply bringing all the stuff together into identical orbits. Like "waste heat", part of the problem is the disorder.

If all you need is mass, it might be more profitable to send a robot to a small asteroid and nudge it on its way towards us.
gparted supports this and it's relatively easy to do after shrinking the original partition
> 5.9+(grading for rock climbing, this being very difficult)

can you provide more context on this? this just seems a bit odd to me as a casual indoor climber. a 5.9 route isn't the easiest, but most of the holds are jugs and you can do the whole thing statically. a generally athletic person could probably climb a 5.9 in their first few visits to the gym.

I can definitely imagine that climbing a very long 5.9 route in full weather gear would be exhausting, but I wouldn't expect a world class mountaineer to find it technically challenging.

How? If you don't want to use Firefox Sync then don't use it. If you don't want to use Pocket then don't use it.

It's not hard to not use them. I don't use either one.
Time for real data! Here's a nice line of modern server fans:

https://www.delta-fan.com/newspost/ingress-protection-ip55-i...

40mm, 12.6W gets 21.56cfm (at zero pressure) or 3.416 inH2O (at zero flow). That's 1.7 cfm/W.

140mm, 46.8W gets 282.31cfm or 2.033 inH2O. That's 6.03 cfm/W, over 3x better.

Now, I'm being a bit unfair: I ignored pressure. I don't see fan curves, but a vaguely credible figure of merit if we're just trying to estimate efficiency is to multiple the flow and the pressure and divide by power. The little fan gets 0.68 and the big fan gets 1.44. That's still quite a lot better. (It does not mean that fan exceeds 100% efficiency. It's not delivering 282.31cfm at 2.033 in H2O.)

But, interestingly, these fans produce almost the same velocity. If the moderately lower available pressure from the large fan isn't a problem (which it shouldn't be -- we're talking about a regime where there is too much TDP per rack, so it's beneficial to spread things out, thus reducing resistance to airflow), these fans really can substitute for each other in the sense that covering the same area with big fans produces about the same airflow as covering the area with small fans.

Oh, and the big fan is louder, but not louder than 10 small fans!

So I stand by my claim: if you are cooling the contents of your rack by filling it with metal tubes and blowing air through the tubes using fans, use big fans, which you can achieve by using taller units. And 2U isn't enough for that 140mm fan.
Right, so achieving a sub 11s quarter mile time IS actually hard & expensive.
Yeah, it is, just need to set an env var of GRADIO_ANALYTICS_ENABLED=False to stop it - probably should be added into launch.py along with the other env vars being set at launch.
To reiterate, non-participatory deception is fraud. But participatory deception isn't. When I go watch a movie, I choose to believe that there is this magician who would kill clones of himself to be the best magician alive. They're "lying" to me. What was on screen never happened. They're depicting a fictional scene. But that's what I'm going there for. The deception. So their giving it to me isn't some sort of crime.

And of course just saying "X is Y" is not a panic. It's the fact that it's quite wildly popular and very normative to say "X is Y" and to gasp and clutch one's pearls as one does so that makes it a moral panic. I'm sure history will judge me well.
Until about a decade ago I had long, curly hair that required a _lot_ of product to keep looking halfway decent. Great aesthetically and as a conversation piece (sometimes - North American culture has an unfortunate bit of bias against natural hair), bad for convenience. I'm glad that I got to have it but I don't miss it one bit.

Yeah, I know someone who years ago failed their drivers test by driving through a red light. The test took them through a part of town with horizontal lights and he didn’t know which end was red.

Luckily these days, the green has some blue in it to make it red-green colorblind distinguishable.
At what point does Google open itself up to some legal risk as a result of this? I mean that it's probably possible to demonstrate that Google have made these changes in order to target a single developer whose product (they claim) threatens their ad-based revenue model. Obviously, Google controls its extension platform, but they must have some obligation to the third-party developers who supply an ecosystem of products which provide value to their Chrome users, right? And speaking of those users—forget users of uBlock for the moment, I mean everyone else—who may miss out on timely security updates to browser extensions as a result of this, doesn't Google's decision potentially harm them?
I wonder if this kind of thing could be combined with "seasonal data centers" that need cooling. You could shift your server load to wherever snow needs to be melted.
This is such solid feedback - and a frustration I have with offline first apps. In particular Obsidian sync has this problem which is made worse because it doesn't seem to want to sync in the background. (other than that I love Obsidian - just would be nice to get some more feedback)

In regard to the TODO demo - I should totally add that. Thanks :)

Chrome will catch up on energy use once non-heuristic / dumb ad blockers are the only option for non-tech people. Once manifest v3 is in place, the other shoe drops, and you start getting ads that you can't block. And ads add page bloat, unneeded data transfer, etc.

E.g, my boring Chevy starts to looks pretty performant next to your Ferrari once you have to tote around 2 tons of bricks and I don't :)
Japan is also often cited, along with Argentina as having a rather odd economomy (1)

I personally rather enjoy origami. I've been doing it for around 45 years (on and off) and am a bit crap. It is quite fun throwing a frog or crane at someone to show how exciting a meeting is 8) If you need to be really unsubtle - a "water bomb" (cube) does the job. I love the really complicated stuff but I have to follow instructions - box pleating can get hairy, very quickly.

1-5 - perhaps. Do recall that other exemplars exist. Wherever you are from, your country or culture will almost certainly be expert, the best or whatever at something. The important thing is to notice these things and to embrace them.

There used to be a notion, hereabouts, of the "Renaissance Man" - someone erudite in all pursuits of endeavour. Obviously we would like to broaden the scope to "Person" nowadays but the notion still seems a good one to aspire towards.

Just looking at your 4 - Art ... you would be unlikely to see something like "Footrot Flats" as a Japanese cartoon. Cards on the table - I'm a Brit and Footrot Flats is a long running series of cartoons by a bloke called Murray Ball from NZ (2) I personally find the shenanigans of Wal, Cooch and co the best cartoons I've ever read and I am a massive fan of Asterix (mostly French) too. Oh and Tintin (Belgium).

Look outwards as well as inwards, otherwise you may end up with an economy that is held up as being a counter example to the rest of the world. On the other hand: does it really matter. Economics is barely a science, let alone a craft. Perhaps we need some better measures, when doing crass comparisons.

Vive la différance.

These guys aren't using their cell phones to keep warm, I'm quite sure. It's true that Lithium Ion Polymer batteries, so very popular in portable rechargeable devices (and prone to the occasional thermal runaway) usually don't do well below 0°C. But that's not likely to be what they'd choose for such a mission. Simple Energizer brand AA/AAA disposable lithium batteries work fine down to about -40°, and can generally power heated socks and gloves etc. without any modification, and aren't particularly expensive given their considerably greater energy capacity and much wider temperature tolerance over alkaline formulations. The disposable lithiums weigh a good bit less than alkalines, too...for, you know, when every gram counts?

Edit: Also, these batteries aren't necessarily exposed to outside temperatures. Strategically placed near the body, they can be kept at higher temperatures for greater power efficiency - but if they are exposed to outside temps, they will not die as easily as your (pathetically useless in this situation) cell phone batteries would.

How so?
What is specifically stopping Uber from providing an autonomous driver service so hard to warrant being classified as a pipedream event?
It could also be a dumptser fire. Going from other recent franchise AAA games it's about 50/50.
Yeah... the anime and video game industries alone are notorious for being abattoirs that exploit their employees with brutal hours, low wages, and authoritarian business culture that drives people to mental breakdowns and suicide. But hey the sakuga's amazing.
I don't know if I buy the Skibidi Toilet thing. It reminds me more of Badgers than Salad Fingers. I remember it used to be really commonplace for spam groups to make loops over songs in single flashes or collabs as well. Back in the glory days where we all hated Wade for trying to do his job...
because those rates have been the case since Japan’s inception. Lol, you cant be genuinely that confined in your thinking.
No. I'm not even sure what you mean by "confirm".

Did I make up the theory? Yes, of course, by definition. All theories are made up.

Am I cynical about the motives of billionaires? Yes.

Was my theory inspired by my cynicism? Yes.

Did my theory "confirm" anything? No, I don't know what it would confirm.

The purpose of the theory is to explain the existence of all these family-run "charitable" foundations that every ultra-wealthy person seems to be setting up nowadays, regardless of how terrible that person might have been in the past or continues to be in the present. Don't you think that's a bit suspicious?

Honestly, I have a hard time believing that these foundations could do any more good than simply writing $10k checks to millions of poor people. That would immediately and dramatically improve their lives.
It would mean you can't go to the UK I imagine.
What? All of those inventions you listed were mechanistically understood quite well. Atomic weapons wouldn’t have been possible without a completely sound understanding of their mechanics.

A better example is perhaps pharmaceuticals, many of which we do not actually understand the mechanisms of action. But note those go through extremely rigorous testing for exactly that reason.

Not really. It is a summary of the reason for what happened, taken from that article. That is a very long article which covers many things, whereas this story gets to the crux of the issue.

You can see in the comments in the main article that the top-voted comment completely misses the point: "have established that the board's actions were based not on a single event but rather on general, long-term, underspecified concerns," (which doesn't seem to be the case).
Can anyone talk more to the point about coffee? I’m in Melbourne and I just don’t get how people describe Italian coffee as good. Most cafes in Melbourne serve coffee roasted here and it’s really good. Sweet and acidic without bitterness. But every time I try an Italian brand of coffee here it’s always like drinking burnt dirt. Is the coffee sold in Italy better than the Italian branded stuff sold overseas?

As for Japanese coffee, my only experience has been the canned stuff which was awful.

Bear in mind that "children's" shows like Ren & Stimpy were still fresh in people's minds when Salad Fingers appeared.
Not really arguing they are the best ( I don't typically wear jeans so I can't say I'm an expert, but I own some of these, and know a guy who works with them/other sort of hipster-y local Japanese companies that do this sort of thing). And they are pretty nice, and they are very proud of their dedication to the pedigree of their denim/jean making techniques.

Google Japanese Denim, there are too many examples to list. And a lot of non Japanese brands will have some lines of Japanese denim, even Levis.
Some (myself included) would rather live a depressing yet productive existence than a carefree but ultimately meaningless one. Working hard is what life is about.

I’m not claiming that explains what’s going on in this case; just that what you point out isn’t necessarily as much of a contradiction as it might initially seem.
