I taught myself vim by setting the vim cheat sheet to be my terminal background, though I greyed it out slightly so it didn't obscure what I was typing. Once you have that there are only a few phrases you really need to know: "+p, "+y, "+d to access the system clipboard, :split and :vsplit, C-w w to switch windows, and g C-g for word/char count.

I can't tell you about this library in WASM, but I know that ZXing on Android (integrated in Binary Eye [1]) can scan a 1D or 2D barcode instantly (to my human eyes) on my Poco F3, it's fast enough that I need to be careful when scanning serial numbers off of hard drives to scan a specific barcode
While I do not argue the explosive nature of it, safety can be improved by embracing how fast it disperses. Think Toyota went that path with interleaved fibers in their containers' outer enclosures, to augment that effect, so it isn't sufficient for an explosion to occur.

One of my favorites is finding such a post, getting hopeful to find an answer, and then realizing it was me who wrote the post years and years ago.

I once was helping a coworker with a problem and asked about it on a related forum. Later that week he came over and told me how he found a forum where someone else who had the same problem, and their username looked a lot like my name…

Your inlaws had the best information in '97 and wealth of knowledge about specific products but the right entrepreneur might see it differently these days. (e.g. your inlaws could sell out and get into another business because their brand still had value)

I went to Best Buy to buy a microwave oven last weekend and noticed that all the microwaves: (a) had a Proposition 65 label (see https://www.mychemicalfreehouse.net/2023/06/why-most-applian...) or (b) were made in China.

Had any microwave been different on front (a) or front (b) it would have been shortlisted in a second. Instead I had to compare a number of twisty little claims that all looked alike and face the strong temptation to buy the absolutely cheapest because it seems the $250 microwave could just as well burn out in two years.

As for toasters my recollection as a kid growing up was that toasters were made of metal and could toast bread quickly. When manufacturing went to China I remember my mother-in-law buying several plastic toasters from Wal-Mart in succession that burned up within weeks. Eventually Chinese toasters became reliable at the expense of running at half the speed of old toasters which they countered by adding more slots.

Today there are more concerns than ever about China's centrality in manufacturing so politics alone mean more consumers are like me and would be receptive to products which have a different origin (say Vietnam, Pakistan, Tunisa, etc.) particularly if this is coupled with a clear difference in quality, which I know is possible because of my history with toasters.

It is so for toasters but also for other domestic appliances. If you could communicate that you're really different there is a frustrated consumer who would listen.

> there allegedly are weird dogmatically motivated English translators that constantly abuse their power to just use foreign content as vehicles for their agendas, while original authors being unable to proofread themselves or chalking up noted oddities to their own skill issues until all is too late.

I've seen references to this as well, but I've not seen a source that isn't themselves trying to stir up some sort of drama or bait a particular fandom. Could you elaborate?

I suspect the underlying phenomenon is simply English monolingualism - educated people around the world are generally expected to understand at least one second language, which is usually English due to the Internet and Hollywood. So they're familiar with being able to read both sides of a translation and judge it. While the monoglots simply regard the production of a piece of text they can't read by a machine as job done.
Alma – An experimental playground for generative graphics
I was at an auto parts store last year and bumped into an ex-co-worker who did the "24 hours of lemons" style $500 race car thing. He was getting a bunch of brake cleaner (chlorinated stuff) and was talking about welding. I asked him and indeed he used brake cleaner to clean stuff he's planning on welding. I told him about the Phosgene gas issue and recommended he not clean the parts with that specific kind of brake cleaner...

Anyhow, it's apparently not widely known to be as dangerous as it is, or perhaps people are just really lucky.
Were you interviewing applicants directly, or was there an upstream selection process before their names landed on your desk? It makes sense that everyone you see with a resume gap has a good reason behind it if recruiters were filtering out the people who don't.
I see that the assembly instructions are different, but what's the performance difference? Personally, I don't care about the number of instructions used, as long as it's faster. With things like store forwarding and register files, a lot of those movs might be treated as noops.
It originated with MongoDB as their primary storage and interchange format, so I'd assume it at least was meant to be optimized for that purpose.

Either way, like I said, JSONB and BSON are solving slightly different problems—you probably would not choose BSON if you don't need the extra data types, and if you do need the extra data types JSONB can't help you any more than JSON can.
I love it. One minor change I'd make is changing the pricing chart to put lowest on the left. On the other highlights, left to right goes from best to worst, but this one is the opposite.

I'm excited to see where things land. What I find interesting is that pricing is either wildly expensive or wildly cheap, depending on your use case. For example, if you want to run GPT-4 to glean insights on every webpage your users visit, a freemium business model is likely completely unviable. On the other hand, if I'm using an LLM to spot issues in a legal contract, I'd happily pay 10x what GPT4 currently charges for something marginally better (It doesn't make much difference if this task costs $4 vs $0.40). I think that the ultimate "winners" in this space will have a range of models at various price points and let you seamlessly shift between them depending on the task (e.g., in a single workflow, I might have some sub-tasks that need a cheap model and some that require an expensive one).

Even at higher temperatures and increases in algae the Great Lakes are still there and can still provide fresh water.
A cursory watch of the "Hamsterdam" season of The Wire, or the "serial killer" one, will be enough to remove any faith in the accuracy of police stats. (Yes, it's fiction, but it's based on years of hardcore journalistic experience "on the crime beat" by show writers).

You cannot use it in production. I'm actually curious how this license works for them.

If they get a contribution without a CLA, then they themselves can hypothetically not use it in prod too?

Edit: you can actually use it for your own, but you can't compete with their offering until the date mentioned in the license:

> You may make use of the Licensed Work, provided that you may not use the Licensed Work for a Document Service.
A “Document Service” is a commercial offering that allows third parties (other than your employees and contractors) to access the functionality of the Licensed Work by creating teams and documents controlled by such third parties.

Maybe I'm totally wrong, but what actually happens if there is a federal court ruling that goes against a state (i.e. CA) law. Which things take precedent if the supreme court wouldn't take it. Maybe this is not the situation here and misunderstood it completely, but let's say then this is a theoretical question.
> there is never a one-to-one correspondence in meaning between the words and phrases of one language and another.

That generalization is completely false. There are situations where that is the case, and situations where there is an exact correspondence between words that have the same meaning or set of meanings.

Even when there isn't a correspondence, context usually resolves it. The word pairs have overlapping meanings and there is a situation in which that overlap applies, and so they are an exact translation.
Great attitude. Hope it keeps your hobby going.
>the great lakes region is likely to boom as people look for an area that doesn't have as many heat waves and has a plentiful fresh water supply.

This take, combined with the ever prevalent "Housing is so much cheaper in the Midwest" has been said so much that at this point I regard it as nothing more than pro-Midwest propaganda.

This is the proper functioning for this key
"Snubs" doesn't really seem appropriate here as prose. There are plenty of issues with SCOTUS and the US judiciary one could complain about, but a simple one is simply that at the end of the day there is one supreme court of 9 people and they physically can only handle so many cases per year. LOTS or cases of way more fundamental importance then this one get declined every year because only a fraction of those seeking appeal to SCOTUS can possibly get it even if they thought all of them were worthy, which they aren't. At the end of the day this particular case doesn't really seem to rise to that level. There's no big circuit split, no deep constitutional issues, no enormous injustice to individual people, lower courts don't seem to have gotten anything particularly wrong given the current state of the law, and Congress could certainly step in if it wanted in ways much more fine tuned. Each company has plenty of money to be made out of it but that's about it. Neither side got everything they wanted.

I'd personally like to see a federal law trying a scalpel first, where at purchase time people can elect to have the ability to add to the root key store of any hardware they buy, or entrust that to the manufacturer instead. That'd preserve most if not all of the benefits for those who don't want to have to deal with that like right now, and wish to pool their collective purchasing power with Apple or whomever to enforce certain standards on developers. But it'd mean anyone who wanted to could also venture forth from the walled garden and small devs who wanted to focus on that could do so. In terms of power balance I think it'd work out pretty well, the biggest players also want to reach the broadest audience and thus would face more restrictions, whereas small focused devs fine catering to a devoted fanbase, or pure open source, would have the most freedom. It's kinda too bad so much of the conversation is binary of "complete jailed garden" like right now vs "devs getting to do whatever they want to everyone whether they like it or not" like on the PC.

Review and Compare VPS Servers
You're asking about why run this service in space, but this service is a reliable scalable data store. Ask instead what kinds of data would you want in space, and why?

The throughput probably won't be great, but mainly if we assume 1:1 not broadcast connections! There will be roving access, not continual, to a given satellite - a fact until there are thousands of other satellites also serving ipfs. Costs will be high.

But still, there are wins. So far, satellite reliability is fairly high; there haven't been natural or human-made disasters afflicting many satellites. In some conditions the roving nature of the satellite could be a boon; you can get information out to a lot of people.

Wikipedia, news, important events... those would all benefit from guaranteed-reoccuring-availability model, perhaps. This would be an interesting tamper-resistant way to store something like votes, if it could be vetted. If there's satellite to satellite communications, the ability to have an expanding archive of crucial orbital information is useful; the swarm can grow & update vital behavior with ipfs in interesting ways.

Rather than assess just on whether this will make a good ipfs node as ipfs is typically used (high bandwidth, high storage nodes), I think it's worth considering this on the merits of what this technology offers that is distinct. Pulling out a single ruler to measure everything isn't always the best and only way to judge; indeed I think we miss a lot when we apply only our current set of expectations to new ideas & encounters. I'd encourage a more liberal consideration. Although I agree, I'm not sure either what the killer use is, I want to see thinking that pioneers what could work, that explored what values are on offer, even if it's not the same old values as the incumbent (fiber optics on the ground).
It sounds like the anti-steerage rules are still in limbo—they have not yet taken effect while the appeal is ongoing, and the article doesn't indicate they're already officially set to take effect at a certain date.

Does someone more familiar with the process know if it's a guarantee now that Apple will be forced to comply with that part of the original ruling, or is there room for them to get it removed or postponed indefinitely?
> Being able to arbitrary place caches anywhere and let anyone serve the data

This is the grift.

The "libertarians" want to be able to host their CSAM, sorry, their "freedom materials" on everyone's servers in such a way that nobody can ever "silence their freedom" because it would mean silencing the cat gifs, too. Want to be "on the net"? Well, you absolutely have to agree to host anyone else's content without question at all times. But, it's okay, we'll pay you with... coins!

As a software engineer who has built distributed systems, I can attest that building reliable software is really difficult, bordering on impossible.

The hardest part is probably handling and recovering from all possible failure scenarios. You need to make sure that the system could crash while in the middle of processing any line of logic in your system and it should be able to recover elegantly; without skipping anything and without re-processing what has already been processed (which can cause duplication of records).

The challenge with distributed/partitioned systems specifically is that atomicity is much harder to achieve and strategies for achieving a similar result are complex and error-prone (e.g. two phase commits, using idempotency to avoid double-insertion)... For complex database transactions involving several tables with a custom two-phase commit mechanism, you have to be careful to process records of different types in a specific order. Also, you need to set up your database indexes carefully for fast lookup and sorting...
