Please YouTube, make things even worse by embedding ads into the video itself, like twitch does. After I had to watch the same ad over and over for the new Zelda, then Aquaman 2 , I eventually managed to delete my twitch account and stop losing my time there. Hopefully will be the same with youtube, I didn't watch a single ad in 12 years, I don't understand how people does it.without sponsorblock and ublock, youtube is worse than the tv.
It doesn’t. Not decentralized
Yes, that is the model. Large short term profits can be made if costs are cut. The idea is that the PE firm loads the target asset with debt, then drastically cuts labor, capital maintenance and other costs. The balance sheet looks good, and profits rise for a few years. The PE firm then sells the asset for profit.

The buyer, and sometimes even taxpayers, are left holding the bag when things start breaking. The PE firm knows exactly what it's doing

Thames Water is the classic example:

The large PE asset management firms don't need the banks to lend them money.. they have more than enough capital to fund their investments.
Apologizing to whom?

What if he did all that and more but we the public doesn't need to know?

Or they have some idea what needs to be fixed but it can neither be done within one week nor summarized in one paragraph.

Same here (in both San Francisco and Pacifica).
It's vital that a democratic nation fully understands the method they use to elect representatives. People need to understand how their vote maps to a preference, and how their votes are tallied to determine who wins and who doesn't.

If a significant share of the electorate does not understand the vote tallying process and expects an outcome different from the one that actually resulted from counting the votes, you will get accusations of vote fraud and election tampering.
As an aside, some folks may ask "why write a new app instead of contributing to Calibre Web or a similar project?" It's a good question! Because I wanted to :)

Right now, this is a hobby project — I'm more interested in having fun building (rough!!) software than worried about extending existing projects. Plus, with how Citadel is designed to be backwards compatible with Calibre, you can continue to use Calibre Web.

As well, I've organized the backend so that all the Calibre-facing code is its own library, which (in the future!) others can use for their own projects. A Calibre library CLI, anyone?
This is why I pay for YouTube. The content provides decent value and I don’t want to see ads.
https is important for preventing spying by anyone else in between you and the server. ISPs, coffee shop owners, schools, etc used to spy on http traffic to see what people were doing/searching for, and ISPs like xFinity injected code into non-https pages to show "important messages" to users, e.g. going over your bandwidth limit[0].

The only weak link now is Cloudflare, which is still "less secure than a direct connection" (with respect to government spying, bugs[0], hackers, etc) but the threat level is drastically reduced.

You can know it's nonconsensual if, say, the subject of the photo complains about it. Presumably they're the ones sending the notice to Njalla, who then sent the complaint on to the wrong subscriber, and thus here we are.
Aah maybe that is the actual reason. It's crazy the same account can be put in 2 different a/b groups.
Critically it's more like "a" lupus trigger discovered. And there may be many.
If YouTube outright prevents access from browsers that block ads, then suddenly a huge number of the most tech-savvy viewers will be motivated to seek/develop/fund better ad blockers and/or alternative ways to access videos.

It's a difficult position. On the one hand, these users are chewing up compute and bandwidth, without providing any ad revenue. On the other hand, if they leave, it contributes to a vicious cycle (or virtuous cycle, depending on your perspective) of eyeballs being elsewhere, and content creators looking elsewhere to reach those eyeballs.

Sure, initially content creators will be posting to YouTube as well, but even a moat like YouTube's can be filled in over time.
The amount of ads they started adding in the last months or a year at this point is sick. Basically two at the start of every video and often not skippable. It coincided with increased offers for YouTube premium. Honestly I'd pay at this point, but know it's not going to be enough sooner or later. They'll add premium with less ads for half the price, then they'll increase the price gradually until the premium with ads costs the same as premium used to cost and so on. It's really tiring to get squeezed to the last drop on every turn, and at the same time living allegedly in a free market.
i believe it was a separate 8kbps channel for each 56kbps line for out-of-band signaling (ie, per-line control plane).
10K rule with DELIBERATE PRACTICE. Why everyone keep ignoring that?
This so called Njalla's website screams scam. No contacts, no people. Just a mention of some 1337 LLC in the depths of pages and a lot of attention to "what Njalla means ... From the dictionary ... /ˈɲalla/ (Sami)" on every page as if someone gives a shit. And, of course, it's overpriced, too. No wonder, the account has been suspended.
This is the article I was trying to find long ago when I was talking about how atomized water could dissolve gold, and I was told I was silly.

The joys of reposts!
To try to argue it:

Humanity does better when we don't marginalise people for dumb reasons such as membership in a visible minority group. Marginalising someone for a dumb reason is an individual decision, and it's a decision that a professor is frequently in a position to make.

Arguably the higher-leverage parts of a professor's job are teaching classroomfuls students at once, advising graduate students, and "service," meaning things like sitting on committees within the university, attending and sometimes organising conferences, and so forth. These all involve the professor spending time to help others' careers. Owing to their leverage, it's especially important that these aspects are done well. And since candidates for tenure-track jobs generally haven't been in such a position of leverage before, it's especially important to screen for suitability for teaching and service when hiring tenure-track professors.

I'm sure you can polish this, and I'm sure there are other arguments in the same direction.

Regarding specialisation, I gave an example of a world-class researcher who also does outreach to an underrepresented group in the post you replied to.

Moreover, the research, teaching, and service parts of a professor's job aren't as separable as you'd hope---the overarching purpose of it all is to keep a field of academic inquiry alive, where research, teaching, advising, and service all operate at different time scales. The field of a group of researchers who don't teach or advise students dies when they all die. A hypothetical teacher who isn't involved in research can't bring students near research-level work.

So many people here are boosting the idea that mandatory DEI statements are like loyalty oaths of the 1950s, and implied they must be removed on that basis alone.

California state universities have required their professors to sign loyalty oaths since the 1950s. The courts have long agreed this requirement is constitutional. Yes, this is exactly the sort of oath the Canadian criticizes, though it gets far less news than anti-DEI activists.

So even if mandatory DEI statements are loyalty oaths [1], they are not un-American.

Given all the hype comparing DEI to loyalty oaths (this Atlantic link has been posted three times the last month), and the dearth of protests about agreeing to actual loyalty oaths, I can't help but wonder if the actual issue is that people don't like DEI, don't have a good argument against DEI, so are stretching for any parallel that might let them construct a defensible argument against the process, even if they don't actually believe that argument for any other case.

[1] And it isn't like plenty of other things are compared to loyalty oaths. "Musk demands Twitter workers take a loyalty oath" says https://ktla.com/news/money-business/musk-demands-twitter-wo...

I do not really expect that, but it's possible to have higher-performance iGPUs than PCs have now; the bandwidth of two memory channels is a big constraint here. Apple's M3 Pro and Max appear to use 3 to 8(!) channels (and of course a lot of die area) to achieve good GPU performance.

More channels may not even be physically possible in AM5. And economically any big change to build a super-iGPU has to compete with just not taping a bigger APU out and letting folks who want lots of oomph go discrete.

The other thing that can maybe help is cache. AMD uses cache dies in their datacenter APUs (very unlike laptop APUs) and of course their dGPUs. Way back, Intel also made a product with eDRAM to boost effective memory bandwidth (Crystalwell). For an integrated chip, that could also act as an "L4" for the CPU and help with its bandwidth needs, though the impact there will be lower than for the GPU.
Not a very usable color picker. The this color picker is limited to a slice of the HSV colorspace with a V of 1. Also, the outputs are not copyable.

The HSL/HSV color space also isn’t great for generating color combinations due to the deformation of lightness. A much better colorspace is the OKLCH colorspace which is has uniform lightness. The downside is that the colorspace is not perfectly cylindrical, so some values have no real displayable value. It also supports P3 and Rec2020 colors.

I think, something like https://oklch.com/ with color combinations would be more useful.

https://atmos.style/ is the most useful color tool I’ve used. Unfortunately, it’s not FOSS.

The story about the feds making them strap a seal to a board and play rocket noises near it was pretty crazy. Or the story about making them calculate the probability of hitting a shark as well.

My suggestions: completely get rid of GC(use refcounts or borrowed pointers),
add macros(see FreeBasic extensions of C macros),
migrate everything complex/optional out of stdlib to specific packages(Rust ecosystem is centered
on packages not stdlib),
and you will have a solid competitor to C++ and perhaps Rust.
Rust of course has better macros and type system, but D looks simpler and
more approachable for rapid prototyping/tinkering that will drive adoption.

> Im bullish on EVs but I feel like rental cars are one of the worst places for the current generation of EVs.

I don't agree. It really depends on what usage you're aiming for.

For instance, if you rent a car right out of an airport so that you can drive to the hotel and then to an meeting somewhere in the city and afterwards perhaps somewhere else and then back to the hotel, you're renting a car so that you are completely free to travel across town to get where you need to be. These are relatively short drives zig-zagging across town which can include a few hours of parking between rides.

It sounds like an EV is the ideal vehicle for this use pattern.

If instead you need to go on long rides that take hours and you can't afford wasting hours charging then EVs are not as well suited as ICE-powered cars.

It’s more like a torrent client that has thepiratebay built into it. The main point of Tachiyomi is to have easy access to pirated content directly in the app. Tachiyomi without extensions is useless.

Another analogy: An emulator that also displays all ROMs and lets you play them directly. It downloads ROM from various websites, similar to Tachiyomi.

You mean Discord (interest, hobbies) and family chat channels on various platforms?
Premium+SponsorBlock is the answer.
Nice, but Windows only.
It's possible to negotiate bulk pricing. The billing is also based on the number of active days per user: https://slack.com/help/articles/218915077-Slacks-Fair-Billin..., so a 5000 member community doesn't necessarily mean they'll have to pay $7.25*5000 every month. But agreed Slack is generally a poor choice to host any non-profit-making organizations due to having to choose between either gated knowledge or allocating a hefty expense.

Discord is the better alternative for now due to the lack of content gating in the free tier but that might change when they become desperate enough with their profitability push.
Hummingbird: A compression App to reduce the file size of files

Here's a script Mac users can run:

osascript -e 'tell application "System Events"' -e 'set currentVolume to output volume of (get volume settings)' -e 'set volume with output muted' -e 'repeat 16 times' -e 'key code 145' -e 'delay 0.1' -e 'end repeat' -e 'delay 12' -e 'set volume output volume currentVolume' -e 'repeat 16 times' -e 'key code 144' -e 'delay 0.1' -e 'end repeat' -e 'end tell'

It will mute the sound and blank the screen for 12 second, then restore them (adjust as desired). Mac doesn't give programmatic access to the screen brightness, so that cannot be restored perfectly.

This isn't a good technical solution to ads, but it might be an acceptable life solution. Enjoy the blank screen, look around the room, breath, enjoy the quiet. And be content that this "solution" will work to block ads so long as users have control over their own computers.

> I think the fundamental problem with D is much simpler than that, it's the technical context. D is a better C++, but it's not better enough to escape the gravitational pull of C++.

Not quite. The problem with D is that it was a better C++ than C++98.

In the meantime the C++ world woke up from it's freeze and the standardization process started addressing the requests from the C++ community. Consequently once C++11 was out and work picked up on following standard versions, D ceased to have a selling point.
I’m curious why they chose to implement their own forum. Discourse, and the alternatives mentioned are mature and proven solutions.
bummer. i used to like the legend that it was all on one commodity linux pc implemented in some nice concise lisp running on sbcl.

edit: my memory is crap. it was a single machine, but the codebase was written in a custom experimental language that i think was a lisp derivative. (which would make sense!). the source was online at some time, can't find it now.

On the ISP side, ISDN was a crucial part of scaling out dial-up ISPs. CLECs (Bay Baby Bells) would route calls from geographically large calling areas --- all of Chicago, say --- to a single colo cage on an ISDN PRI. Access concentrators (then called "terminal servers" --- Portmasters, Ascend routers, Cisco AS5x00s) would take 56k modem calls on individual PRI channels.

Yeah but the majority of them aren't willing to move. If a company gave you 2 1/2 months to uproot and move your family to a totally different state, how likely would you be to do it? They probably expected large amounts of people would be established in San Diego and would not want to move.
This is one of the main rhetorical techniques that 'progressive'-type nimbys use to suppress housing. "This new housing isn't good enough. We should treat our homeless better than this."

> with software there is this notion of something being "optimal" but with music there is no optimal. Even the highest level artists are not satisfied with their work. The music is always above you.

The same holds for software developers, or at least (IMO) the good ones: they always want to refine their code, or at least know where it could be further refined. The best of those just know when to stop refining and move on.

Musicians also strive for the optimal performance: they continually practice to get better. Most are smart enough to know they will never be perfect, just as a good engineer knows there is no perfect code (Knuth notwithstanding). But that doesn't stop them from trying.
