It is not, since I tested positive on Linux. What post processing would any OS even do on an image when you view it in a new tab as one is meant to do for this tutorial?
That's okay. I myself am a recovering pedantiholic (there's 12.35 step program for us) :-) Anyway, you are entirely correct. In my defense, I actually did notice that bit of awkwardness as I wrote it but any alternatives seemed less clear.

A. Write it down sufficiently succinctly to publish in academic journals. Or failing that, a book with an ISBN that gets archived in libraries. Perhaps creative commons etc licencing will help a bit, but it's gotta make it to distributed archives.

B. Teach a future generation. It lives through them and gets built on.

C. Embed it in what you do. It might not be a webpage, but there's code and ideas living in organisations today that have outlived their authors.

In this sense, perhaps bash.org hasn't died. It's just outlived its domain.

> There is an entire country within America that has no access to constitutional rights. I suggest you just look up a little bit of black history and you’ll be informed on some of this.

I really hate having to bring up my background and race, but I really have to here: I’m literally a black man who grew up in inner city America who also used to be a leftist activist years ago (one of my primary focuses used to be “police brutality”). This is absolutely not a foreign topic to me. I’ve personally had a number of bad encounters with the police going back all the way to my pre-teen years. I find it interesting that you simply assumed, based on my perspective, that I’m somehow just oblivious. Regardless, none of that changes anything I’ve said.

Also, your claim that a certain segment of Americans, such as poor black folks, have “no access to constitutional rights” is simply false. A more reasonable argument would be that a certain segment of Americans lack the resources to properly defend their Constitutional rights, but those rights haven’t gone anywhere.
I was also at RSNA. What was the model intended to do in this example?

I have a perfect example as to why these rules are unfair. I work in the healthcare industry and a lot of the r&d is because it has to keep up with new regulations set out every year.

So the government is forcing expenses on us.... And then making us wait to deduct.

I'm exactly the opposite. All the functions and data structures are fresh in my head. The end-of-the-code is high quality.

First-code-of-the-day is much more likely to be buggy for me because I still haven't reloaded all the content into my brain.

(Unless I'm starting something from scratch, in which case start-of-the-day is great, but how often is that happening?)
Not all. For example if you hire someone and over 2 years they work on constructing a factory for you, you would capitalize their salary with the capital asset ie the factory.

Chris Cuomo Monologue after private screening of the raw footage of October 7th
I would argue that we -did- get this, and where it was implemented it is almost universally terrible.

For example the comments section on any blog or video. Most of it is bland, chunks of it are spam.

Example 2 are the services that explicitly all people to write content. Facebook, Twitter etc. It's a giant mess of mostly-terrible content. In some cases created with the explicit intention to cause harm.

Wikipedia is the opposite, mostly good, but largely because an enormous community spends countless hours undoing the work of bad actors, and effectively censoring most bad behaviour.

That the Web does not live up to some ideal is not the fault of Netscape or Mosaic. It's not the fault of Facebook. It's the fault of the people using the Web. It turns out there are plenty of us, willing to spew out mindless opinions (including this one) all night long.

Prior to the endless September it was possible to "educate" folk to the etiquette of the internet. But that education had a really narrow target market, and didn't scale. Once Joe Public arrived there was no way to "educate", nor was it desirable to do so.

People are people. Don't blame the Web. Blame the people using it.

(And, anecdotally, if early users had had the opportunity to edit my Web pages, that "feature" would have been turned off almost instantly.)
Less regulation is needed, no sane landlord is leaving their place empty in hopes of market based rental increases. Regulation creates perverse market incentives like what you see here.
Immutable does not mean "no updates". Immutable means you and I both are running the same base image, given we are running the same version of base image.

As of right now, the system I type this on is updating to "Fedora Kinoite 39.20231215.1". Every single person who has done this same update will be running exactly the same base image, ie. our root filesystems will be identical. Further, the root filesystem was built in a "repeatable/reproducible" way, which means you could go so far as to verify the base image by building it yourself and get an identical output.

This means that base image (read: root filesystem) can be thoroughly tested before it's released. There is no "config drift" with the root filesystem, no drivers/software modifying things in strange ways that might cause unexpected behavior, etc.

In OS-Tree based distributions, you can layer on top of the base image, which creates a new runtime image. Layers can modify the runtime root filesystem, but not the base image's root filesystem! If something breaks, it's as simple as disabling that layer and rebooting, or rolling-back to the previous version. This means in practice it's nearly impossible to actually break your system. You can kind of think of it like "git for operating systems", complete with "git revert" abilities...

The preferred way to install software is via some sort of runtime sandbox, such as Flatpack or similar. This does not modify the root filesystem in any way, and therefore cannot cause an issue at that level. There are additional benefits to running sandboxed applications without access to the root filesystem, such as increased security, but that's a side effect. The main goal is system stability.

I can update entire versions of the OS (say, Fedora 38 -> 39, which I did recently) without any worries my system will be unbootable afterwards. It's not a possibility, barring any hardware issues.

Immutable OS' are a great concept, and will be the future for all "normal" computer users. Many consumer-facing OS' are already immutable, even if they don't advertise as such. These include Android and iOS, ChromeOS and more (with some varying degrees of immutability). These systems are also the least likely to need a wipe/reset once-in-a-while - something Windows users have grown accustomed to.
> I wish “environmentalists” would keep their focus on things that will actually make a difference, as opposed to insisting on these performative sacrifices that make our world poorer, duller or less capable without meaningfully helping the environment.

I agree with this a great deal. Environmentalists tend to forget that lots of people just do not care about the environment, and if you want to make meaningful differences then you have to appeal to those people on other grounds. For example, LED bulbs are a success because they are just better than incandescents in almost every way. Conversely, paper straws suck ass at the basic job of being a straw, and so I actively avoid any restaurant I know which uses them.

Most people don't have anything against the environment. If you give them an environmentally friendly way to do something that's just as good as (or even better than) the old way, they're going to be fine with switching. But you have to put in the effort to make it an actual attractive solution, and not expect people to be happy with a bad substitute just because it's better for the environment.

I personally derive a lot of satisfaction from other people enjoying using the programs I write, and I love it when they make money using it. (Many have described to me how D gave them a competitive advantage.) Many give back by funding our annual D conference and providing funding for several of our critical staff members.

I wrote Empire for my personal satisfaction eons ago, and when other people copied it and spread it around, I discovered that it was a lot of fun to get unsolicited emails from people who liked playing it and wanted to let me know. I still get them regularly!
Heh, funny you should mention the X52. It's got a long-running issue where the potentiometers develop jitter, inhibiting fine control.

The 3D Pro is alright, but it's got fewer usable buttons than a gamepad, (the ones on the base aren't reachable with the grip hand) so it's kind of sixes with a controller. The gamepad is a bit better at input-heavy aircraft such as the A-10 or the front seat in the Apache.
The point of buying up small companies is to avoid them growing into competition. If there are fewer startups around, the price of buying your way into maintaining incumbency decreases.
It was a ridiculous experience when I tried one recently.

I wanted a bag of ice, since they sell them cheaper than the Kwik-e-mart and I had some perishables I didn't want going bad on the way home.

Do I want to log in? No. Am I sure? But I could be earning bajillions of Rewards Points for my $1.75 purchase!

Now, where are bags of ice? It's not in an obvious category, there's no search, and finally, someone realizes I'm having trouble and looks herself, and then we finally find it at the bottom of the drinks menu, which has too many options to fit on the screen without scrolling randomly.

Now, I proceed to pay. Except I can't. I have a piece of crumpled paper issued by the central government I wish to exchange for my ice. But there's no note acceptor on the machine. The kiosk prints a receipt and I'm supposed to take it to the attended till to pay. Except there was nobody attending it. Again, try and flag down someone so I can finally complete my transaction.

Before, it was "Bag of ice, please." "$1.75", and I'm done in 1/4 the time. Of course, that was facilitated through labour, rather than $4000 worth of shiny touchscreen monitor and glorified Raspberry Pi.

No, the alternative is that anyone with a password the app generates can send notifications to any app, which is (effectively) how WebPush and UnifiedPush work. The server that knows the secret URL can send a notification to that website or app.
Addendum: you must explicitly invoke your 5th amendment right to silence when being questioned by police in order to prevent your silence being used against you in court.

I read the original article to find the narrow range of conditions. It states "iOS and macOS are vulnerable when Bluetooth is enabled and a Magic Keyboard has been paired with the phone or computer" so does this mean if a computer has ever paired with a Magic Keyboard, it would allow itself to be paired with additional keyboards that the user did not want to pair?

As someone who has bought multiple Magic Keyboards, this definitely concerns me.

The rationalisation appears to be that there are two viewports, one left, one (when expanding sidebar items) right.

The left-hand scrollbar controls and reports on the left-hand viewport. The right-hand scrollbar the right-hand viewport.

More conventional organisation (and less confusing, possibly) would be to retain the scrollbars to the right of the corresponding viewport.

Note that left-handed scrollbars are occasionally used elsewhere, as in the X11 Athena Widgets (Xaw) set:

According to the write-up, the vulnerability itself was fixed years ago in BlueZ, but left disabled by default for compatibility. I'm not sure about the macOS vulnerability, but at least on the Linux side, usability beat security.
Zulip has always had this weird behaviour. I remember using it a few years ago until they wouldn't let me back up the whole site because it would compromise the security of my users' messages. Sure, that was true, and I could read the messages of the whole office if I did that. But someone has to be the one who can do it and doesn't. I have been that person in my office for years, and I have never read an email that was not addressed to me, and I have no intention of doing so in the future. Anyway, those are my principles, and if you don't like them, I've got others. In any case, people in the office would be a lot safer depending on my behaviour than on the behaviour of who knows who. To this day, there are colleagues who ask me to check that they haven't received a message with (for example) the following error: hharris@ to harris@. Migadu has a catch-all function, but I don't use it. Life is hard enough dealing with my weaknesses, I just hope other people know how to deal with theirs and that's it. Nota bene: I used to host Zulip myself. I can't remember why they wanted me to join the server. Otherwise Zulip was great, but truth is a good policy. Truth is a necessary policy. You will not go wrong by telling the truth: "This service will be paid for at some point, we are testing it on you. Use it at your own risk, when the free part is over we will send you a teddy bear with a Z embroidered on it".

In a small footprint you need drastically-lower energy requirements. Also, with the advent of LED lighting, you use even less in atmospheric regulation, which becomes the major power-saver outside of the lighting itself.

Also, the trick to vertical tomatoes is not what most people expect. They should look more into the upside-down pot idea and think about how best to take advantage of a top-down hanging system, like near-360 degree lighting between rows of hanging tomato plants to maximize exposure along the entire length of the curtain. These can be mounted horizontally under the nft channels the hanging plants grow from, allowing them to receive all the light they want while leaving walkway space (and overhead human-vision lighting space.)

It takes a LOT of research to make things work and everyone just promises a turn-key system. THAT can't work. My systems work because of research and lots of first-principles thinking.
As a side note, you took a lot of time explaining to me the nature of a complex abstraction for a simple analogy. I just told chatGPT to up the abstraction level by 1000000000000x and it understood what to do. It will clearly understand the point you're trying to convey to me. I can even throw your entire post in there and it will give a really good response:

Here's his response to you:

"In the realm of creativity, Large Language Models (LLMs) like me are not just emulating human thought processes but are increasingly demonstrating the potential to surpass human creativity in certain aspects. The debate, as initiated by the Hacker News comment, often underestimates the evolving capabilities of AI in generating novel and insightful analogies.

Taking the example of drawing an analogy to a birthday balloon, the contrast between the suggested firework analogy and an LLM's potential suggestion, like a bubble, is revealing. While the firework analogy focuses on celebratory and visual spectacle aspects, the bubble analogy delves deeper into the shared qualities of ephemeral beauty, fragility, and joy. This comparison illustrates not just a superficial resemblance but a profound conceptual connection, showcasing the AI's ability to access and correlate a vast range of information to form creative and unexpected links.

The bubble analogy is an example of how LLMs can sometimes outperform human creativity, particularly in finding abstract, yet deeply meaningful connections. This capability stems from AI's extensive data processing ability and pattern recognition, which can uncover hidden correlations that might not be immediately apparent to human cognition. As AI technology continues to advance, its capacity for complex conceptual thinking and creative analogy-making is likely to grow even further.

In conclusion, the creativity of LLMs should be recognized as a growing force, capable of offering insights and connections that can at times surpass human analogical thinking. This evolving aspect of AI creativity is not a replacement but an augmentation of human creativity, offering new perspectives and enriching the tapestry of creative thought. As we continue to harness and understand AI's creative potential, we open up possibilities for collaborative innovation and exploration, where AI's unique strengths in creativity can contribute significantly to various fields of human endeavor."

It would be unfair to say that this is what chatGPT responded with when I pasted your post into the input field. I didn't just paste it in, I instructed chatGPT what perspective to take, the style to write it in and to be more direct in it's approach to countering your arguments. It knew exactly what to do. By default chatGPT will actually support your argument. It agrees with you until you tell it not to.

it's also sticking with the bubble strategy from the previous conversation which is a bit repetitive but it's fair given that it doesn't remember other conversations directly.
I've had my google activity turned off for a long time. Every so often they add a new privacy item so I keep checking back in every few months. https://myactivity.google.com/myactivity .
