And don't forget stagnant wages, forcing desperate sales to those with capital in the bank go acquire property, and then rent it back for even more money....
I’ve been happy enough with my Kobo Aura One in its stock state that I’ve never toyed with KOReader or similar. Plug it in, it mounts as USB mass storage, I drop in ePubs, PDFs, etc and it reads them perfectly. No third party software required, “just works”.
I share this viewpoint (is that ironic?), but it's almost entirely unhelpful when it comes time to make decisions, particularly decisions as a society or within a government, right? One powerful person's subjective reality that "all people who look like X should be executed" can most likely become the "subjective reality" of those X people real quick.
Not sure what should be my takeaway here. It feels one can say the same story with any third party dependency. Are you saying one should not use dependencies at all?
Nice to see Rust (and Haskell too) released a fix immediately but Java is "affected, but won't fix". :)
LXC, Incus and Lxcfs hit v6, first LTS – and Canonical's original, LXD, updated
Yeah, it's half of that. Which oddly, makes it too slow.
Nah. From what legal people have told me, any sort of nationwide law is easier to comply with than random laws in 50 states. Each state focuses on different things, it's not as simple as strict/not strict.
Inaccurate.

> The fact is, every person occupies unique physical space and thus has unique life experiences and a unique perspective of each “event”.

#000000 and #000001 are unique, but most would simply call both colors "black", and not lose any advantage whatsoever. The fact we can communicate using common words and obtain desired effects most of the time disproves that uniqueness created by differing perspectives makes truth an "illusion" or meaningless.
I agree that MMA allows too many punches, but it is better than what happens in boxing. One solid punch in an MMA fight usually ends it. The refs should be faster at getting there, but that's better than people who get to beat to a twilight in boxing, but never quite get knocked out.
My understanding is that it does work, for the period that they work in the company, because few work actually needs intensive brain activity.

But it's bad for the employee, and bad for the companies down in the line because the employees would already been drained. That's why there is an implicit or explicit 35-yrs old deadline in the industry.

It really depends on what you're doing right? Any command line work that I use an LLM to help with is non-destructive. I'll use jq, ffmpeg, etc., but I don't update the initial source.
"If it ain't broke, don't fix it" definitely has its practical limits
It's a hard problem because people want similarly privacy respecting solutions to all their other needs as well. I also don't love a single company handling all the important bits. It doesn't matter if it's Apple or Google or Proton. That's why I don't use most of their suite and prefer FLOSS whenever possible. This is not possible for email (yes I've tried to self host, it sucks ass and emails get dropped).
I find it more intuitive to use negatives. Then it's just equity + income + liabilities + assets + expenses = 0. In fact, every transaction and therefore the entire ledger sums to zero at all times.

So if you take out a loan to buy lemonade: +$5 to expenses, -$5 to liabilities. If you sell lemonade: -$5 to income, +$5 to assets. You just have to remember that equity, income and liabilities will be negative so flip them if you want to answer questions like "how much do I owe?"
Do you have a need to?

Do you have a project which might be able to make use of this? What sort of work do you do?

Not at all. It is the polite request to please correctly attribute the data that a company is using for their marketing stunts.

I love the fact that techbros being called out for violating other people's intellectual property immediately revert to "TROLL!" or "this is too hard!" instead of actually engaging with the question at hand. And btw - until you actually create the software stack to collect the data and run an aggregator, don't condescend on people who do the hard work that you seem to feel free to copy in violation of said license.
I was a paying user to both Standard Notes and Proton. I, however, moved away from Standard Notes and my subscription renewed without notice. I contacted them and they reversed the transaction without hassle. I continue to pay for Proton. Depending on how the products are incorporated I can see myself moving back to Standard Notes.

Right but something that I do isn’t your secret. It can’t be in an arms length customer/vendor relationship.

You can make an argument that internal documents of a vendor are trade secrets, maybe. But you can’t say that a piece of information in the record of MY company, namely how much I decided to pay for their software, is a trade secret that belongs to someone else.

You’re learning how to be a lawyer quickly. It’s really common for attorneys to cite cases where the fact pattern doesn’t line up at all and hope nobody reads them. But if you are sure there is good precedent for this specific point then post it. I doubt that’s the case for the obvious reasons I outlined above.

My view is this.

Suppose that there are enhancement drugs. They work, and a lot of competitors are using them. Then it becomes far more believable that the current champion is enhanced and has managed to hide it, than that someone who is not enhanced has miraculously managed to beat the entire field of people who have such a big advantage.

My view lead to me being certain about Lance Armstrong years before he was caught.

I have had some experience with Godot and Net Yaroze (PS1). It was significantly easier to make a game with Godot.

Godot comes with an IDE that build/edit/run games all in one integrated experience, and the user manual comes with a tutorial. I was able to make a game in less than a day, and the edit-test iteration cycle was practically instantaneous. I am familiar with Python, but I suspect it would have been possible to make some games without any programming experience.

Net Yaroze came with two printed manuals and a serial cable. There was no tutorial. Memory was limited and I had to lay out all the sprites in the video memory myself. The edit-test iteration cycle was slow since it involves uploading your compiled binary over the serial cable to the console on each run. If I wasn't already familiar with C, I don't think the PlayStation was the best place to start learning it.

Everything definitely got better in the past few decades given all the tools that became available, but ultimately we are comparing a purpose-built tool for making games versus a development kit plus lots of hardware constraints. There is a different type joy to be gained in developing for a console, but for beginners who just want to get some game up and running, a modern game engine is going to be an easier path.
If valuations are up across the board, and the revenue requirements remain fixed, then your mill levy should be lower and your tax burden should be the same as the past. It should be pretty clear that your municipality is collecting more taxes than they were previously from published reports. If they aren't, then that means your property valuation has gone up more than others in your region...that should be considered a good thing, even if you have a slightly higher tax burden because of it.

1. Traditional way:
- type email/username
- type password
- click submit

2. 2FA way
- type email
- type password
- click submit
- switch to secondary email/text app
- wait for email/text to arrive
- copy text string (not consistent, depends on input method)
- switch back to main app
- paste or manually type text string
- click submit

3. Hybrid (passkey?) setups are a great step in the right direction. Even more convenient than passwords, and more secure, without app switching, which is the huge friction point.

> he fired a huge number of the staff and the site is still running, so how was that assumption not proven correct ?

Why would you expect the website to stop running though? Keeping a site running with a smaller crew is easy amd baked in - all organizations with >10 engineers do this frequently, over the holidays or Lunar New year. What's harder is building new features at the same pace and quality as a larger engineering team.
I have a Boox note. I can’t help the feeling that it’s not entirely legit, but it’s Android, connects to any service I want (including a Calibre library), has a great display, is great for notes, and is all around fantastic. It’s not a tablet replacement but it IS a replacement for the stuff I do most often with a tablet (read and write). I thought the 10.3 inch display would make for a hefty reader, but it’s perfectly fine.
Get a USB-C magnetic breakaway adapter and you shouldn't have concerns damaging the port. Mildly annoyingly will probably breakaway while you're jogging occasionally but at least it shouldn't damage the port.

> I don't know much about finance and global economics.

Neither do most people on HN. In fact, "global economics" is actually filled to the brim with wild speculation. Most people have very little idea how the future will work out, or overemphasize a "model" view that abstracts the reality of global politics and economics into something like a simple y = mx + b equation and then insist on the inevitability of their model.

You need to think more about power. Where does the US's power come from? Is that likely to change? How will the political situation change in America and what effect will that have on the global reality of US power and, crucially, the perception of US power abroad? Will the USD remain the defacto standard global currency and reserve? The further you get into the future the less certain we can be about any of these questions beyond simple speculation.
...among other things: years of not building enough housing, plus cost disease on the prices of housing construction, plus Airbnb eating into housing supply, plus most new development being in unwalkable subdevelopments or sterile 5-over-1s* so that the demand for anything walkable gets blown through the roof. I think that's the list?

Edit: oops, how could I forget anti-development zoning and Nimbyist development codes that prevent private solutions?

* I would love to know the actual name, or a good derogatory name, for that type of apartment; they're not all 5-over-1s after all. The real problem is the lifelessness, and that the ground-floor businesses, when they do exist, tend to be depressing and corporate, such that people don't want to pick them over older construction that is better integrated with neighborhoods.

I’m a happy FastMail and Joplin user too but don’t know too much about WebDAV protocol. Is syncing fast enough to manage your notes synced between devices ?

> …forcing desperate sales

Are you referring to single or multifamily property?

Either way, demand is strong and prices are high. Sellers still have a lot of power in this market and I haven’t really seen examples of anyone selling a property being taken advantage of.
I have a Libra 2 for personal reading and an Elipsa 2E for journals. A couple of minor nits like you mentioned aside, I love them. They can read almost any format I throw at them, I can fetch books directly from my library, and if I add an article to Pocket on my laptop then it shows up on my Kobo next time I pick it up.

I also read way more now that I've gotten the Libra, largely because it's so light and ergonomic for laying in bed at night and flipping pages. I added a popsocket to the back for easier 1-hand holding.

The Elipsa is better for reading large content like Communications of the ACM or similar, where the Libra was simply too small to be readable. I hardly use the pen for either highlighting or notes, but it's there if I want it.

If/when either of those die, I'll look at the color versions as potential replacements. It highly depends on how much of an effect the lower resolution has on readability. If it's less pleasant to read at night, or if PDF journal articles are a little fuzzier, I'd rather stick with B/W. If the only downside is that the screen is a bit darker so I have to turn the backlight up, then only get 2 weeks between charging instead of 4, I might consider it.
This was the main reason behind California's Proposition 13 in 1978. At the time, homeowners were seeing their taxes go up and up every year just based on valuation increases. Meanwhile their incomes weren't necessarily increasing at the same rate. Prop 13 has had some negative effects but the anger by voters at the time is entirely understandable.

immutable_struct_ex is yet another immutable struct. What makes immutable_struct_ex different, is that it allows you to create immutable structs in one step by default. In other words, other immutable struct gems force you to first define the struct, then instantiate the struct object; or, define the struct and instantiate the struct object via chaining. Blocks are also supported during initialization, so you can:

immutable_struct_ex = ImmutableStructEx.new(first: 'John', last: 'Doe', phone: '(201) 230-7281') do
def john?
first == 'John'
end
end
immutable_struct_ex.john? # => true

I agree that life drawing is of tremendous importance, but your characterization here disagrees with my experience:

> [life drawing] forces you to reason about physical space and the structure of objects in ways that neither drawing from imagination nor drawing from a photo reference does.

Now this may be because I am, at best, an intermediate artist, but in my experience, beginner drawing courses (rightly) focus on unlearning the natural tendency towards "symbol drawing". A bunch of beginner drawing exercises like (a) copying Picasso's Stravinsky portrait upside down, (b) overlaying a picture with a grid to copy it, (c) life drawing with various physical aids (holding out a pencil to "visually measure", drawing a scene visible through a cardboard frame) are all focused on learning to draw what you "really see" instead of what you think you see.

To me, this early learning process involves learning _not_ to reason about what you see, but to instead simply copy what's in your "visual field". Instead of "oh, a nose is sort of a pyramid shape, so it should look like this", it's, "I see a darker value in that spot" (it just so happens to be the shadow cast under the nose, but you don't even need to recognize that). In my own drawing journey, I actually think my life drawing started getting much better once I started learning to draw from imagination, because the latter _does_ require that level of understanding - using perspective, simplifying forms into primitive shapes, types of shadows, planning where the darkest and lightest values in the image will be, and so on. In particular, since practicing illustration, I'm much more capable of sketching things that aren't posing, like the geese permanently milling around in front of my house - I can quickly copy a silhouette, and then use my knowledge to fill out what it should look like. I didn't really learn to do that in all my life drawing classes, because I could just fall back on what I was seeing.
I don't understand.

The retro community has proven reliably that a simple Raspberry PI can easily bit-bang floppy controllers. We have myriad floppy-to-SD card adapters.

Surely a plug-and-play solution that removes the area of most concern (reliance on the media itself) should be easily achievable in a few months?

This has got to be the hacker version of watching a band you love sell out.

It's crazy where we're calling "I made this thing that was useful for me and I'm giving it away so that it might be useful to others" corporate welfare like they're the ones betraying the spirit of OSS. But the companies that release OSS as a growth hack for their VC funded startups and are happy to take it away when it benefits them, those guys are the real spirit of OSS.

There has never been a time that selling OSS has ever worked and it seems like business are wising up to the fact that there's no first party advantage in OSS. If your plan is make some software and charge for <something else> you better be damn good at the something else. RedHat made it work with a truly ungodly amount of effort on support, documentation, compliance, and security channels.

I suspect the greedy business executives in the west insisting upon a race to the bottom on cost etc. have more to do with it.

Well, here's the language in the license that apparently is too hard for you to find:

4.3 Notice for using output (Contents). Creating and Using a Produced Work does not require the notice in Section 4.2. However, if you Publicly Use a Produced Work, You must include a notice associated with the Produced Work reasonably calculated to make any Person that uses, views, accesses, interacts with, or is otherwise exposed to the Produced Work aware that Content was obtained from the Database, Derivative Database, or the Database as part of a Collective Database, and that it is available under this License.

I can't read it for you, but I can summarize it for you. You are required to make sure that someone who uses the product (i.e., Clickhouse's marketing stunt thingy) becomes aware of the license and origin of the underlying data. And not by digging into some GitHub repo, but right there, on the page.
It is not price fixing, it is price finding. There is nothing wrong with a market maker existing. There is good evidence that markets with higher penetration of this software respond more quickly to declining markets than do other markets with disorganized lessors who maintain the "pretend and extend" strategy to rent setting.
I mean, it's slow, it uses about ~500x more memory than my irc client does, the interface doesn't meld with the rest of the OS, the options for end-users to actually customize how the app works are direly limited... I'm probably missing gripes but thankfully I haven't had to use it for a couple of years.
Indeed, one of the main problems with econ education is that at the most basic level they teach a model for the "spherical cow" free-market. Which is all that most people end up learning. And then those people try to apply this reasoning to real world markets - the vast majority of which do not satisfy the assumptions of the free-market model. So almost all public discussions of micro-economics is totally useless.
Dunno how well manual labor translates to intellectual work though.
