No idea. The computer I'm running it on using a 7900X and an RTX 4080.
In fraught issues like rent control and housing, I often see claims like the one in the article that people moving to cities can see up to a 30% increase in income, but they never seem to factor in the increase in costs, which could be far higher than 30%, leading to a net loss.

Same story with global warming claiming additional deaths due to increased temperatures without the corresponding statistic on deaths due to cold. I am not claiming the point is invalid - just that a fuller picture can make the conversation richer.

Mercurial was also created by a Linux kernel developer, and started development a few days after Git (the reason was that Linux had previously been using BitKeeper for version control but BitKeeper stopped offering free licenses).

I got recently granted airdrops for few cryptos due to past contributions to some open source projects (no idea which). It reminded me why cryptocoins won't ever take off.

1. The time to transfer from coin to coin took ages
2. To finish the transfer I would've paid fee (gas) on the target wallet (eth), and the price is ridiculous (around $20)
3. Presumably I would've had to do this again if I wanted to transfer to exchange
4. The UX in general is still bad and you have to become cryptocoin expert to actually do basic things

I don't deny that for some countries and especially long travel transfers cryptocoins might be the only valid option, but I do not ever see them becoming a currency for daily trade. As for the price? Speculation, money laundering and well I guess collectively lots of people are basically in the game already and don't want out / can't get out. As long as there is money in the game anything can thrive, even if it makes little sense or is technically dumb.
Hmm, I must admit I had never thought of this idea by card_zero: why not drive a mouse pointer using touch at a distance? Does anyone with experience in this know why it wouldn't work, or whether it has been tried?

This report is a joke.

No root cause. On other forums it is understood they were running very old and unpatched VMware os. Which is simply embarrassing and everybody within their IT team should be fired immediately for gross negligence.

They can't inform people whos data has been compromised because they refuse to pay the ransom and have no other way to tell what was stolen. Farcical.

Their ability to rebuild in a timely manner was hampered by not having any spare servers and presumably because all their server hardware was compromised and couldnt be used for restore.

Rent control and Height restrictions aren't enforced in India.

Property contract disputes in India follow the principle of "Jiski lathi, uski bhains" (might makes right // That cow belongs to the guy with the bamboo or iron rod).

The landlord or the tenent can enforce their ideal level of rent based on who can force the other to comply, and civil courts have decades long backlogs so nothing will get done - property disputes make up the majority of cases in India.

I hate this more recent doomer logic. Who is the arbiter of deciding whats a waste and not a waste? Why use such a basic and uncompelling narrative of telling how others should live their lives? I try to be thoughtful of my purchases and conserve my own resources and happy to talk about it but telling people that "doing x is a waste of resources" is a fools errand. Humanity has always progressed when in a collective group, it won't slow down now even though some individuals might drop out of it. I don't know what the future holds, collectively we will continue to progress and I see the bright side of all the recent momentum in renewable energy and the focus on making systems more efficient.

When using a EU sim your traffic will still go trough the EU server.

But the EU laws stop applying at the border. The third-party stores are there because of a EU law that does not apply on any other country.

If they wanted they could make the store stop working the minute you step out of the EU and they would still be following the law.
Honestly, a static site that accepted pull requests would cost nothing. Free code hosting on GitHub and page hosting on GitHub Pages or Cloudflare Pages. Literally $0, forever.

It does take time and effort to review pull requests, but there are no $ costs involved.
It’s malicious because they’ve done more work than necessary to put limitations on the user.

They already know what region an account is in. If they just said “Ok, EU account, turn on the flags” that would be less engineering effort. Even if they increased verification of things like where you actually are relative your account at signup. But this is them engineering this solution to make sure the secret sauce doesn’t leak out of the EU. Everyone knows it’s malicious because it’s easy to intuitively grasp that they’ve gone through all this extra effort to make absolutely sure everyone outside of the EU has a worse experience no matter what

I disagree. While quality is subjective popularity is different to quality. Otherwise we would only have marvel movies.

Your argument assumes no marketing is manipulating the best selling lists, something known to happen in new york best selling and others.

Regarding people pretending to read "fancy books" (my term) I think most people just dont read, but I find it annoying, for ex. when people see my shelves, that some people think that I buy those books to impress somebody. It is as if people that do not enjoy reading cannot conceive somebody enjoying it. I think it is slightly antiintellectual, and cynical. I have a better opinion of people in general.

A Close Up Look at the Consumer Data Broker Radaris
Did you read the linked article? I think toggle switches are a superior metaphor for controls that move a system between two states. Checkboxes are superior for opt-in items that can be skipped over.

Consider the “kitchen lights” illustration here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/design/contro...

Do you really think a checkbox has the right affordances for this action?
As far as I can tell, there seems to effort to discredit USRTK citing how some major prior donors to USRTK (such as Organic Consumers Association) have become antivax organizations pushing conspiracy theories, but it seems the most this has resulted in is USRTK investigating lab leak theories of Covid-19's origin and a few events in collaboration with the antivax funders. All and all, it seems like some cause for scrutiny, but not anything close to discrediting the organization.

> Dr. Kathleen Jamieson [professor of communication at the University of Pennsylvania and author of a recent article on conspiracists’ exploitation of uncertainty in COVID-19 science] argued USRTK’s work deserved scrutiny because of its funding and affiliations. But she also noted that the organization’s published research stopped short of open conspiracy theorizing on the virus’ origins.

I was just trying to describe this personality trait I have last night (although saying I’m autodidactic is probably a sure way to look like a total ass). I have taught myself drawing, painting, photography, programming, guitar, cooking, bartending, and a number of other topics to a deep and skillful degree. I grew up poor and neglected from birth to age 7 in a family where no one has a college degree. I learned how to talk from tv as well as a number of other things (i watched public broadcasting incessantly) and in general would just go outside and observe nature and all of its intricacies. When my dad got custody over me he and my stepmom facilitated this trait of mine, giving me all of the books and access to the library, internet, and cable tv that I wanted. Needless to say, I despised school and the authoritarian learning model.
Try asking in a forum that doesn't hate crypto with the fury of 1000 suns, you may get a better answer.
I started reading your blog linked from your profile. I was disappointed that you used so much energy to play with language by writing up thoughts and hosting them on the internet. Seems like a waste of resources. Why do you think you have the right to burn all that carbon just so you can share your thoughts with the world? Why not just save electricity and take a walk through nature? That's how I think you should use your resources. I think I know better than you about how you should use energy. I think you should have to follow my ideology about energy use.
> what happens if the license server disappears one day

Minor nitpick, "when" the license server disappears one day. They have no reason to do right by their customers when they go out of business, break old infrastructure that "only a small percentage of users were using", or just feel like they can get away with it and sell you the same product again on their new platform.

It has happened before and it will happen again, modern video games are notorious for this, while you can still play multiplayer games from the early 00s.

And let's not get started with content being outright ripped from our digital products, such as soundtracks being removed from video games after their opaque licensing deals expire, even though you supposedly "own" them in your digital library. Or old movies & TV episodes being removed because they're politically incorrect in the current age.
The user is. You usually wait for visual confirmation before you determine that the action you performed was indeed performed.
You mention a social problem, but it's an economic / capitalist problem; countries have been exporting and trading e-waste to the highest bidder that in turn sends it to the cheapest labor to get any value out of it.

Waste should be processed as close to the source as possible, and waste should not be exported unless it actually gets processed properly, that is, if exporting to a country with good recycling facilities instead of putting it in landfill/incinerators.

But the checks and balances for that are poor. IIRC / I have no source and may be making it up, in western countries, plastic is ticked off as "recycled" when it's been separated and baled up; if it's then exported and burned, landfill'd or chucked in the ocean doesn't matter anymore, the country fulfilled its pledge of recycling plastic.
you still live in the EU.

But the second you step out of EU, EU laws stop applying to you.
You are right in a way. I hope to one day give up the internet completely...

No, the direction change is relative to the Moon, not your orbit around the Sun. The Moon, when retrograde, is still moving forward around the Sun. Your orbit will become more eccentric, but the periapsis won’t even make it past Venus’ orbit.
>They can't inform people whos data has been compromised because they refuse to pay the ransom and have no other way to tell what was stolen.

That doesn't fit their claims on page 7 about reviewing the lost data and contacting affected users.
Same here. Travelling to Europe for the first time from South America and it's been a godsend. Naively thought that train travelling was simpler than it really is (which is completely understandable that's why I say I was being naive). Eurail community posters pointed me to that webpage and didn't need anything else.

Love the simple design too, a godsend nowadays.
Their about page (https://rolldown.rs/about) describes why they want to do this, but after reading it I'm still unsure why they can't accomplish their goals by adding features to esbuild? Maybe the project goals are too different?
There's an enormous difference between spreading stolen information for free or selling stolen information for profit. If you don't understand this, you have to investigate your moral compass a bit. There's a reason why purchasing stolen goods is a crime in most of the world.
Depends on when they showed up. The helpful Americans, that is, in relation to the killer winter.

Judging from a lot of HN discussions so, Americans should really understand the rwluctance of anyone to listen to people from other countries explaining how things should be done. Exihibit A through Z: every single discussion about health care or city planning. Or gun control.
In this case a lot of people are unable to read the article because it hangs most non-chromium browsers about a third of the way down the page.
If you do, you may want to change your descriptions or use clearer labeling. BSL is kinda neat but not open, e.g. hashicorp describes it as "an alternative to closed source or open source licensing models". So listing it under "open source alternatives" calls into question the accuracy of other entries.

Note: paid and open is very much encouraged.
> Hope they find ways to adapt with the help of modern tools, but of course it's easier said than done, specially when they probably don't have any money to invest in things that could help and even if they could, the infrastructure just doesn't exist.

I've always preferred Stephen Brennan's approach mentioned here: https://brennan.io/2020/05/08/meson/

This is the approach I take with my C and C++ projects, although I've swapped meson out for CMake. I still have my CMake projects generate pkg-config files as well so that I don't force CMake on any consuming projects (just because I suffered with CMake doesn't mean you have to, although you can as well :))

You only need to smooth on approach. Something like `transition: left 200ms ease-out` in CSS should have you covered most of the time.
Alternatively, you can build any kind of interpolation by replacing the `ease-out` function with the `cubic-bezier(...steps)` keyword: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/easing-func...
> You're right. It was a semantic nitpicking of OP's claim of universal transcendence.

Here's the thing about nitpicking in a high emotion thread. You have to be completely correct if you don't want to be piled on... and especially here, you aren't.

The OP didn't make a claim of universal transcendence, they listed specific categories (cultures, languages, and generations) that the work transcends. Categories that most works don't transcend. This is inherently praise for the author.

Your bringing up of a separate category that it doesn't transcend when there was no original claim that it transcended this category is either off topic, or a criticism.
EU is aware, but are too afraid to enforce it that way. See all the protest from farmers in the last months, one of their main demands is that imported foods are also subject to same rules they are.
I can't speak for Astra, but I worked for and held stock in a company that went private, and the way it worked was you were given a choice to either sell at the price proposed by the private party that was going to be the new owner, or you retained your shares but they would no longer be publicly tradeable.

If you did nothing, the default was, yes, the shares would just disappear and be replaced in your account by cash. If you opted to retain, however, possibly because you were legally required to for some reason, have at it. You just own a thing you can't sell now. If the company ever goes public again in the future, then you can sell.
Some sort of AI filtering layer feels inevitable. In the short term I doubt many have the ability though. Even pihole seems a bit too much complexity for the average non tech user
I object to the word "utilises" instead of just plain "uses", especially from a library.
I somewhat disagree. Folks who are aware of authoritarian trends in societies are generally nuanced enough to see that there's still a chasm to be crossed. So you don't get to hear the "USA is on the way to become $dictatorship" near as often as "actually $dictatorship is just as free or freer than the USA".

And you'd have to move and process that one cubic kilometer of water as well, which sounds easy on paper (just use a pump bro) but that's err. 1.000.000.000.000 liters of water. Heating that up by 1 degree takes 4 kW per liter, or 4 petawatt for the whole lot.

Ridiculous scales, in any case. If I were to think creatively, I'd create a compound or a filter creature that accumulates gold particles naturally and concentrates it. I have no clue what that involves.
Sure, but they can also easily ask anyone. I don't know why it makes sense to shrug off that responsibility onto some nationalist bullshit.

Restart to Keep Using Firefox
did you wakeup to this message? Did you also disable automatic updates in Firefox settings as well as with about:config?

I've been on the borderline of disowning FireFox because of this forced auto-restart behavior. Vendor lock in has been the only thing keeping me on FF; my beloved browser of the past 15 years. Unfortunately they have recently borrowed too much UX from Microsoft.

Here's my final attempt to keep my browsing sessions uninterrupted:

```
sudo apt-mark hold firefox
```

If any Mozilla employees see this, I am begging you to respect the user's choice to postpone updates to when it works for them.
You have interrupted my browsing sessions for the nth time and I can't take it anymore.

If you override my system level package settings then it's time for a permanent uninstall.
