The exposure is a chance at one of the 15 minute slots on Twitch homepage in exchange for up to 6 days of displaying a mtn dew logo on their stream (the longer it's displayed, the more chance they have at these limited slots)

Even if a person does win a slot they'll have to be live to use it during the prize portion of the campaign. Factoring in timezones this brings the slots available down a fair bit unless the streamer decides to do a 36 hour stream.

Even if they win one it'll bring concurrent viewers aye, but these are viewers that just happen to be visiting the homepage, not looking to watch streams from the carousel. They're mostly empty embedded views.

Of the people looking at the homepage almost none of them will click through to the stream as they're doing something else like looking for their favourite streamer or en-route to their settings or something like that. Of those people that do click through, a lot of them are going to be trolls looking to wind streamers up or otherwise harass them.

There may still be a handful of viewers left that do click through to the stream, who don't speedrun getting banned from the stream, who do watch the stream. Chances are though even those people will be leaving for the next thing to watch quickly unless the streamer has something super entertaining going on. In that very specific scenario, aye this might be an ok deal.

For anyone else this is a tiny chance at 15 minutes of stress before dropping back to their usual view count.

tl;dr nah it's pretty much the meme

I'll happily eat my words if I turn out to be wrong. I should probably eat a hearty breakfast though.
The key difference being that domains don't get lost, especially if you avoid country TLDs.
"Rewriting" is perhaps a slight exaggeration, but packaging apps for Sandstorm usually requires some changes. A lot of time the features we need apps to have are useful for apps to support anyways. Sometimes we are able to get improvements included upstream which make Sandstorm packaging easier. But it is definitely fair to say some apps require some significant work to adapt to Sandstorm, and some don't make sense on Sandstorm at all.

Honestly my strong preference is for apps to be written directly for Sandstorm, though obviously there is a big chicken and egg problem to getting people to build apps to run on Sandstorm instead of Docker-based tools.
Third-party standalone clients? Which ones?
I want to re-calibrate my stereo's volume to this scale now.
I’d pay a premium for a solid state AC or heat pump. It’s absurd how much they cost to install.

And I don’t get why replacing one is an all day job for three people. There should be standard connections they just plug into. Like a dishwasher.
I actually first came across you on the Internet for the cool stuff you did reverse engineering the Obsidian sync engine! (On that note, I remember the CEO's response was praised for being measured/reasonable, but if I'm not wrong they subsequently broke it.)

> As a child, I was always told by everyone around me, family, friends, teachers that going to the US or UK should be my dream. Those that manage to go either via scholarship or wealth are described as geniuses and assumed to be smarter than the rest of us.

On this particular point, similar phenomenon here in Singapore and I studied overseas and came to a similar realization as you. But one irony is it's not something you can credibly say/know without actually having done it.

Now that you're there, my advice is to make the most of it and aggressively filter for people with similar interests as you and accept that you probably won't assimilate in with the mainstream and that's OK!
I've been doing the same; the UHD rescans of classics like 2001 and Casablanca look fantastic. But now I'm even considering keeping my dad's old Betamax collection with the state of things, movies disappear from existence now...

Btw, Panasonic actually makes a UHD player that doesn't include 'apps' and only has ethernet for updates and local streaming; hope restored!
As someone who once bought fake airpods on ebay, I can tell you that Apple can't do this.

I spent a number of days with them where they were trying to work out if they were fake. The serial number was real but they were fairly sure the number had been taken from a real product and reused, but were unable to say for sure.

I ended up just returning them (because of the ebay return window) but found it interesting that Apple couldn't easily check this, and was very aware of the issue.
It's not really a matter of need, more a matter of good hygiene.

Do you trust any modern OS not to accidently include sensitive information when it generates a crash report for an app and sends it off the some remote server in the background?

Isolation is a useful tool. In an ideal world it can be done perfectly at the OS level, but we don't live in that world.
Not if THEY are doing the “replacing.”

what would be the minimum set of customization required to satisfy the majority of the tweaks requested by internal users?

would it be sufficient to offer themes (dark/light modes), a custom logo, and control over font sizes? or, is it more fundamental, like adding your own css and changing the size/positioning of components?

There was a sketching algo on wikipedia that was not well described. So I added 2 lines of python to illuminate what was intended by the roundabout description.
Within an hour my edit was reverted with the terse comment - "Wikipedia is not a github." !
So I clicked on the editor to find who this rude person was. It was the professor who had invented that sketching algo.
Yes - up to a point.
I agree. After receiving a C&D from Meta for my OSS project (along with some other maintainers from some other projects) I strongly believe adversarial interop is a basic digital right that is required to fulfil the broken or revoked promises of web 2.0

While I love the principle of accepting third-party clients, Apple clearly doesn't which make this argument fairly non-compelling for them.

There's too much regulatory capture for any newcomer to start up and produce anything different and not go bankrupt. Tesla was such a lucky exception; they had to raise tens of billions of dollars of investment and still were on the verge of bankruptcy multiple times.

As an interesting anecdote, Ford was founded with the 2023 equivalent of less than a million dollars.
Glad you asked. Steam stole my Dungeon Siege content. I doubt there is any language in their TOS that lets them do what they did to people who bought DS which came with the expansion Legends of Aranna, only to remove the expansion from libraries after some kind of licensing dispute. Zero refund.

I pirate loads. But if it's a small studio I always buy the BluRay in addition. If it's an excellent film or show but it's made by a large studio, I check to see if it's available on one of the streaming services I subscribe to, and if not, I buy the BluRay. Thought process being that it's the job of the streaming service to compensate the creators at that point (which a large point of the writer's strike was to ensure that they do.) If it's something I'm certain I'll only watch once, I just keep the pirated copy. It would be nice if there were some kind of, "I thought your movie was kind of trash but I got some amount of enjoyment out of it so here's a cup of coffee," Venmo-like service. Maybe every studio could just put up a Twitch stream that I could donate some bits to.

But this is all just to say that while I pirate loads, I do have a bit of a conscious about it. That said, stories like this are why I don't lose much sleep over it.
In Australia it's iMessage and FB Messenger, mostly. But that's also dependent on where you or your family is from: I came here from NZ, so iMessage/Messenger is normal, but my Indian friends use WhatsApp as a matter of course!
It always surprises me the lengths people are willing to go to avoid writing CSS. If organization is the issue, there's BEM (https://getbem.com/). This just looks like another layer of complexity on top of an already convoluted front-end stack that just slows everything it touches to a crawl and only works moderately well on the developers beefed up latest MacBook Pro's, and sucks horribly on any regular person's computer.
I would say animals in images is more akin to matching two different musical performances of the same song (where one of the two can even be the user humming), which Shazam doesn't offer but some systems like Google Assistant do!

Rather, matching two recordings of the exact same performance (one ingested by Shazam at training time and one ingested by Shazam at run time) is more akin to identifying individuals (facial recognition) than identifying species.
Doing that pumps energy outside your house without heating your house. A better option is to use the temperature differential between the stove and your house. You get less electrical power, however waste energy from both the stove and the device still heats your house effectively making a system over 100% efficient.

Ie convert 1% of the stoves energy into electricity which you then use to power a fan. The fan‘s waste heat also heats the room thus you get to use both the utility of the fan (1%) + waste heat from stove (99%) + waste heat from fan (1%) = 101%.

Is this a tangential question? The OP suggests that there’s a utility to piracy beyond ideological reasons and just getting stuff for free. In other words, the categories you posed are not mutually exclusive.
> 2. Take the time to level up on one or two foundational skills whose barriers to entry are combinations of tenacity and intelligence, or tech stacks that are very close to a foundational skill. Something like "Fart App Framework" is not a foundational skill because it becomes obsolete in a very short amount of time. Things like mathematics, statistics, hard sciences, cryptography, security, etc. will carry you through the rest of your career and create a moat.

I've understood this for a long time, and especially over the last year of unemployment it's seemed more and more relevant, but I've never been able to figure out how to do it.

The thing about building your career on "Fart App Framework" is that it's feasible to break into it no matter your background. This sector of software development does not have a lot of gate-keeping, not only in the sense of academic credentials, but also in the availability of entry level work. It's not uncommon for someone to be able spend some time learning "Fart App Framework" to the point where a company considers them skilled enough to employ them.

But for most of the suggested foundational skills I don't think I've ever seen entry level work available. I've definitely seen jobs for developers in the hard sciences, statistics, etc., but more than often they're looking for an established domain expert, with an established history in a particular niche. My understanding is that the early experience in these industries is gained through things like getting the right internship or going through the academic post-grad grind, things not usually accessible to people outside of academic institutions.

To expand a little more concretely, I've occasionally seen over time job listings in some of the suggested areas. Most commonly, I see jobs looking for a developer in [hard science]. The impression I get from most of these jobs is that they're looking for "[hard science] PhD who can write code" or at least "Developer with 10+ years of experience writing code for [hard science]". The often tend to be more specialized that just [hard science]. While I could hypothetically spend years of my life trying to learn and work on projects in [hard science], at the end of the day without any relevant degree, "real experience", and with my professional history (and thus majority of my resume) screaming "Fart App Framework developer" am I really ever going to be competitive with people who do have those things? The market is much smaller than that for Fart App Framework developers anyway. I've focused in hard science here, but I think the same about mathematics, statistics, cryptography, etc.

Security seems to be the biggest outlier. I don't want to waste too much space talking about security work and its many forms, but in any form, it seems to be much more accessible for people without a "correct" background, more like general software development.
I might.
Because it lets them establish a beach-head in a less-demanding market, but one with deep pockets. It also lets them create corporate relationships. With all this revenue they keep adding features until the product is more general purpose and can be used to build anything. If they try to boil the ocean to begin with, they'll fail. This is a more pragmatic, staged approach.
Posted via that government internet project because the government finally forced the monopoly communications companies to allow 3rd party connections.
Very cool way to present this. Obviously there's a lot of legwork here, but for major ISPs you could probably use some heuristics to give a little more detail on internal network structure. Comcast, for example, has their core network under ibone.comcast.net, but their HFC infrastructure directly under comcast.net. So you can tell when traffic makes the jump from their HFC consumer ISP network to their backbone. At one point I had some notes on patterns like this for a number of the majors but I think I've lost it. :(

I am in Singapore too — I saw you're doing an early stage startup here and wonder how you find the scene/ecosystem here?

My sense is:
- Engineers, while cheaper than the US, are still fairly expensive and are typically quite risk-averse
- The investors-to-builders ratio is very high; while it might be good for fundraising, I wonder if having a critical mass of builders is no less important

Curious to hear your thoughts!
People may start out doing it because it’s free, but likely keep doing it for ideological reasons after they’ve seen so many paying customers get screwed over.

I’ll pay for digital music on iTunes, which is DRM free, but won’t buy movies there, as the DRM means it’s only good as long as Apple decides to keep it going. As we move from people maintaining media libraries to streaming, it seems like it’s only a matter of time before those digital copies become worthless.

I've been doing a bit of research into air-to-water heat pumps (using a conventional vapor compression cycle) as I'll be installing one soon (Bear with me—I promise I'll get to thermoelectric devices by the end).

They're currently able to replace a boiler for a heating system designed around relatively low-temperature (120°F/50°C) emitters, with lower temperatures leading to better performance (so a large radiant panel in a floor or ceiling is a good choice).

One of the underutilized capabilities they have is to do radiant cooling. The tricky part is that any part of the system that drops below the dewpoint (in whatever space it's located in) will condense moisture out of the air, likely damaging itself or things around it over time. You can address this to some degree by either modulating the heat pump or mixing/recirculating water to keep the emitters a few degrees above the dewpoint, but that limits the amount of sensible heat that you can remove from the space and doesn't do anything for latent heat (i.e. humidity).

One solution is to use an emitter (e.g. fan coil, either central or in a little wall unit like a mini-split) that has a drip tray that drains the condensate away to where it can't do damage, but the pipes leading to the emitters still need to be insulated and vapor-sealed. This isn't terribly expensive to add to a new system but could be quite expensive to retrofit into a system where the pipes are already buried into the walls.

Another approach is to keep the fluid above the dewpoint and use a separate dehumidifier that condenses moisture out of the air and releases the resulting heat into the space. This isn't ideal because you're adding an additional heat source into the space that you're trying to cool.

As I understand it, the strength of thermoelectric devices is that they're silent and relatively small, but their weakness is they're not terribly efficient, especially for cooling, and have a steeper drop-off of efficiency with increasing temperature difference between the cold and hot side.

But for dehumidification, the temperature difference is likely small (from a few degrees above the dewpoint to a few degrees below it), and also the latent cooling load tends to be a fraction of the sensible cooling load.

So the idea would be to build a device that is plumbed inline with the emitter in each room (or possibly just e.g. a bathroom or kitchen) that uses a thermoelectric device to cool a heatsink below the dewpoint (with a fan) and collects the condensate for disposal, but rejects the heat into the return pipe to the heat pump.

The advantage over a conventional fan coil-based system is that the in-wall plumbing (and indeed all of the hydronic plumbing) remains above the dewpoint, so the indoor hydronic piping doesn't need insulating or vapor sealing.

I could see this being especially useful in buildings converting from a condensing boiler to a heat pump and want to add cooling without tearing open all the walls.

What happens if I have an account on website or soo A and it was created using passkey which was by Apple and Apple closed/disables my account for some reason?

For an end user - beyond the technical bells and whistles — it’s kind of same as Signin with Apple ID, isn’t it? Or Signin will Google. Right?

Besides this is going to create huge lock-ins and dependencies I am afraid. And that part of it looks bleak — all the mega corps are pushing and none of them are known for “openness”. They want to get as many as of us in their yards and then things will start to get less open very soon.

I mean if I have a passkey on Apple and I am with a device that’s not Apple I am not really sure how that’ll work and I may not be able to access my account, or do it easily.

I agree that being able to isolate things that have different security domains is a useful tool. That said, I am not really seeing how pKVM provides useful primitives for much other than DRM, which has historically been the primary usecase for trusted execution that isolated VMs seem to provide.
I disagree with your statement about hydrogen. Hydrogen's killer app is usage for huge vehicles, basically ships, trains and mining trucks. The main issue with hydrogen is not the volumetric density compared to hydrocarbons: hydrocarbons produce emissions and hydrogen doesn't. The main issue is storage, and for that the square-cube law helps. If your application can make use of huge tanks, then the cost of storage becomes negligible.

Nuclear-powered shipping is and will remain a non-starter for the simple reason that pirates exist and will continue to exist. Even if pirates didn't exist, rogue states, like the Houthis, or Iran, or North Korea do exist. You'd basically need to escort each nuclear powered ship with a warship, and the cost would be too high.

How do you run the binary if that's not OK? In order to install it, The binary gets copied from the installer (dmg/zip/app store/CD install media), and then to run it, it gets copied from your hard drive to RAM, so that's clearly okay in some circumstances. Furthermore, once it's on my hard drive, I can copy it over and over again in random places on my hard drive for funsies and the operating system will gladly cooperate. Once it's on my drive, I can go in with a hex editor and randomly change bytes for funsies. It's on my hard drive. Am I then not allowed to delete the program from my system? If I use shred to delete it, which will set the bytes in the file to zero, or format the hard drive, am I breaking the law?
