In a way, webextension experiments are exactly that; you have complete access to all the “privileged” APIs in the browser, just like XUL extensions did. Problem is you need to toggle some prefs and use Dev or Nightly builds.
I had four covid vaccines with no trouble whatsoever, but after catching covid for real, I was hospitalised for a night, slowly recovered, and then a few months later got the fatigue and brain fog. Now, 2 years later, I have recovered my physical fitness, but the brain fog remains.

Different people respond to the vaccines and the real thing differently. But this is an anecdatum saying the vaccines were fine.
It interesting to see that computer games and rpg-metaphors have reached such an universal understanding in our society that we can ponder our life using concepts taken from them.
The cognitive decline can also be attributed to extreme isolation that everyone was subjected to. My super enriched, flow like heavenly water life came to a complete standstill. All future plans and timelines thrown in disarray. Covid has ended but my life trajectory has completely changed
Maybe because it's an article commenting on a trend of inaccurate reporting, and is itself inaccurate.
doesn't this only protect against MITM attacks?
Performance-wise, both are nearly identical - fast.

Both frameworks support route groups, middleware, context, and mounting apps from other frameworks.

Both are WinterCG compliant - deployment to platforms other than your own server or Docker, such as Cloudflare or Vercel Edge, should not be an issue.

Hono appears to be very focused on serverless and edge runtimes like Fastly Compute, Lambda@Edge, Supabase Functions, etc.

Both offer their own RPC implementations:

- Hono: RPC in Hono: https://hono.dev/concepts/stacks#rpc

- Elysia has Eden—its own end-to-end type safety RPC: https://elysiajs.com/eden/overview.html

So, it's a matter of preference, I would say.

I'm personally using ElysiaJS in production and have zero complaints.
Brave as well.
The things the above poster suggested are largely man-made, artificially complex things seemingly designed to trap people. Things like paying taxes and handling healthcare are pretty much automatic in most European countries for example.
It's hard to break old habits or misconceptions.

Can't enjoy a meal because it is overpriced. Or similarly, won't pay $3 for a cold drink in the sun at the beach, since it is $1 in town.

I played skyrim and noticed that I had lots of upgrades, and great equipment and was kind of overpowered.

So, I would go back and play the game naked. (not a new game, just start with the character I had built up)

I would start out with no equipment and just make do with whatever I found. Use the first sword or pants I found and go from there. Kind of fun.

This has made a huge difference in the way we extract structured data from images. Previously we had to perform a number of steps to ensure the JSON result was what we were looking for. Now we just get the function call exactly where we expect it.

If you're a C# developer looking to take advantage of this improvement, check out our free open-source implementation at https://github.com/BackslashDev-LLC/img-to-json and our sample application at https://github.com/BackslashDev-LLC/med-intake-demo

Thanks for giving me ideas to add to my 200 hobbies, miniature painting it is. I even have an app (Streaks) that reminds me daily of thousands of things I want to do, and it just shows how unrealistic it is. I want to concentrate on just two things, but then I hate to plateau on the other skill. Right now I concentrate on guitar and trumpet. But my painting and drawing skills are really not that good anymore. I try to also publish some academic papers, repair my bike, lift weights, run, get better at theorem proving, read into all of the social sciences, read philosophy (Kant, Hegel), experiment with Arduino, build a repertoire in Rebetiko ... If you find a trick to just do one things, tell me.
Even just 15 mins in the sun helps vitamin D levels so walking from the house to the car into the office and back again is enough to make a difference compared to not going out at all, no?

I feel that Jia Tan would also have inspired other, perhaps less well-funded, bad actors to try similar things.

Often you'll see one attack succeed or semi-succeed, but the actual plan was a good one, and it gets copied by less sophisticated attackers that can't come up with their own plans but copy other attacks that have had some success.

While technical knowledge is required to execute this, the social engineering aspect is more accessible. Backdoors aren't too hard to find and add even if you're not super technical. This means that the volume of such attacks is likely to increase and also be harder to defend against.

I'm really hoping that the XZ attack makes folks more wary though given enough time, the feeling of urgency will pass and folks may become more lax again.

Major vendors like GitHub can have a good impact here in adding detection and tools to enable detection and prevention of bad actors in this manner, though a lot of OS doesn't work around centralised tools like this and requires people to keep being vigilant.

I kinda feel that it's inevitable for such an attack to take place in the future and have similarly devastating consequences. Things are just too decentralised and independent (which is a good thing) to cover all bases effectively.

We can hope that maintainers of very commonly-used packages/tools are vigilant but people are people.
It really is.

My takeaways after reading it were not to surf, but rather, the importance of uncertainty, taking risks and how transformative the power of obsession really is.
No, you said it's a demographic thing. I've read the data and I know it isn't. The highest rates of participation are among people who have higher academic qualifications, are employed, and are among relatively less deprived groups.

Anyone can become a problem gambler and, just as with other drugs, they become a problem for the rest of us.

This holds true for all age groups and also for long-term care users. Based on these results, there is no population-level evidence that COVID-19 vaccination increases the risk of death due to an adverse reaction.

Oops. Well, you tried.

basically we've reached "the truth they don't want you to hear about" levels of information
You seem to construct a straw man.

The whole point of the study is to show that kids that grow up with more adverse effects which are out of their control makes them more likely to have problems as an adult.

You seem to say we can't infer causality, but that's exactly what they do. They show that having been affected by more adverse effects does make you more likely to suffer in the future. As the study says being poor is one of the adverse effects but not all. So that's your control right there.

Im not sure how anyone could still belive in factcheckers that claims previously that vaccination gives immunity to virus or that there are no side effects from vaccination even though we have plenty studies that monitor it quite precisely.

The negative news is coming from vaguely respectable outlets, which means they don't generally outright lie, which means they do often agree that global sales are rising in paragraphs near the end.

They just put a lot of effort into promoting "bad vibes" whenever possible.

I'm not quite sure what the mechanism for this is, but we've seen exactly the same with wind power, solar PV, batteries etc.

We're now in the absurd position of China churning out all those things at scales and prices that scare the West, and will have deep and long lasting geopolitical implications.

Meanwhile, sections of the western press are taking victory laps, as if they were farsighted to predict this EV slowdown, that isn't actually happening. It's bizarre.
Well, we have the ambition to make it a sort of Godbolt for Nix, but none of us are frontenders and it's not quite as visually impressive and easy to follow as the actual Godbolt. It does work, though!

We've also been thinking about ways to make nixpkgs available there. Adding `lib` at least in some fashion would be quite useful, I think.
The Humane pin has a visual ui that is laser projected to your hand. So they don't fully bet on audio-only, at least not in this iteration.
There is the idea that I kind of subscribe too but not entirely, that if you want to improve yourself - you would just do it rather than force it.

In that trying to force it is like Sisyphus. In giving up the battle, you are freed up to actually do it.

So your exaple is great, you had a good intention but once you gave up that structure then you actually got to the goal.

AlwaysReddy: An AI assistant that isnt a pain in the ass, thoughts? [video]
Hey all, I wanted to share my project here and see what you guys think of it, feel free give me your thoughts, even the super critical ones.

https://github.com/ILikeAI/AlwaysReddy
Video demo here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BoURth0aS8

The idea behind Always Reddy is to remove friction when interacting with large language models. If you can use these AI assistants without having to open apps or switch contexts, you'll naturally find more use cases and integrate them more into your daily workflow.

Always Reddy runs in the background of your computer, so you can fire it up with just a hotkey whenever you need it, without disrupting your current task. A nice addition is the clipboard integration - you can just copy any text, and it will be passed to Always Reddy. Or you can have it generate content and paste it directly into whatever app you're using.
> Remember, this is a product in a NEW CATEGORY. Of course it is not going to be perfect.

Okay. We're tech-people here so let's be straight. Software can be improved upon even after purchase. If the company gains sufficient momentum they could address some issues and make it better.

But the AI pin is a product which depends on:

#1 A projector which consumes too much power yet is too weak to be visible in daylight

#2 A voice-cloud-voice roundtrip which is not fast enough to feel instant, especially because there's no display to entertain the user while waiting.

Apart from anything else, these human interface issues cannot be fixed after purchase.

So cutting as much slack for them as I can, my verdict is still "don't buy"

A disruptive product doesn't have to be jack of all trades, it usually excels in 1-2 areas while being weak in others.

Ok the most important sentence in this essay is its subtitle:

“Advice for myself around leisure activities”

Personally I am no perfectionist at all, but I don’t see the fun in making stuff myself that I could otherwise buy. I took up sewing, not because I want to sew the perfect shirt, but because men’s fashion sucks. That said, I sew stuff I can wear. So it needs to look at least as good as what I could buy. I don’t think that it’s “acting like being famous”. Similarly, I am writing a screenplay, because I have a lot of experience reading bad screenplay that were actually made into movies, and I think I can write one that is at least as good as the worst ones I read. I don’t paint or take photographs because I know mine will look terrible.

Maybe that would be my advice in taking up hobbies: aim to be better than the worst people who do it professionally.
I find it's interpretating the intention of and figuring out the unhandled edge cases of an existing regex that drives me away from them. A tool you can ask "Hey how are you? Given this regex and this code context how will this fail?" would be valuable (always have to be nice to the AI)

I hope one of the AI applications coming soon is pure post-treatment of old videogames for graphic quality. (e.g: I play an old game, it's upscaled / retextured locally without any interaction with the code on my own GPU). Even the remaster is showing its years in a distracting way, alas.
Your first paragraph, yeah, but... "Every dollar spent on buying drones for Ukraine to blow up Russian tanks with buys that many more minutes on that clock.", really? How would that help us, everyone else? It has been so long yet no one knows fuck all about the Minsk agreement and how it all started. Funny that. I wonder if Wikipedia is still accurate on that one... but I get it, Russia is bad.
It’s a big debate indeed and I don’t want to get into it here, but I think I come down on the side of, “some standards are not purely popularity contests, but are based on other things.” There are a lot of reasons I think this way, but even if someone doesn’t agree, I do think a purely consequentialist approach is illustrative.

Would we have better food if the top chefs in the world designed our meals, or if the entire population voted on them? For some topics (including the arts) I think a purely subjective approach has worse outcomes.
It's very different, CF tunnel is a reverse proxy to your service, Tailscale SSH manages authentication to machines inside your VPN. I can't see any resemblance, personally.
>Is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_conflicts_in_territory... fairly accurate?

Yes, its fairly accurate.

In terms of what I would've done differently:

First NK War: It was incredibly clear that this would explode already during Glasnost, as Armenians made it quite clear they wanted either independence or reunification in like mid 80s. I'm not sure how this would be managed, because Armenia would never give up on either NK independence or reunification and Azerbaijan was always guaranteed to immediately ally with Turkey after separation(and they would want a land connection via Nakhichevan anyway). It would probably need an international intervention right from the get-go.

Tajikistani Civil War: Once again, problems here started with Glasnost. Over the 80s it basically got revealed that there was a still a substantial religiously Muslim population that was not really interested in liberal democracy. Here there was a very simple solution: Either significant devolution or country had to split up. Tajikistan is exactly like Afghanistan in that tribal identity dominates allegiance to the "nation".

First Chechen War: Simple. He had to basically remigrate all Russians out of Chechnya(given that they were resettled there by the USSR in the first place, after Chechnyans got deported due to collaborating with Nazis in large numbers), then build a massive border wall and then grant them independence.

>it looks like Yeltsin was calling the shots by late* 1991

Yeltsin was a disgusting idiot, which makes sense given that he drunk 24/7, but at the same time he already got handed a very bad situation. On the southern border of Russia, the situation basically was

"Here Boris, my Perestroika has created an entire southern flank of countries who want a caliphate and who want to kill russians which were resettled there by Soviets. Enjoy, I'm out!"

> do you have any opinions on the effect of the cancellations of Kennedy and Khrushchev on détente?

Don't know enough about Kennedy, I wouldn't say Brezhnev was anti-détente, it's just that Khruschev was very pro peace. Part of why he got cancelled(Famous quote from Molotov: "We dropped our pants before the West. It turns out that the goal (of USSR) is not to fight against imperialism, but to fight for peace".
You can make a really ugly, low quality change to a language, wait for a new generation to grow up with it and it will now be accepted as perfectly fine. There isn’t any objective notion of quality here
Привет) Almost everyone on the team speaks a language where this pronunciation is obvious (most prominently Russian and German, but it also works in e.g. Swedish).

I've noticed when talking to English native speakers that Brits seem to get it right away and say something close to "твикс", whereas Americans almost always say "tee-vix" ("тивикс") and need serious convincing work to switch over to how we say it.

This. Subpar products will always be on market. Problem is that Amazon making a lot of money selling trash and everyone okay with this.
That doesn’t imply it’s perfectly fine, it might just mean that the arbiters have lost their ability to detect quality. Which is exactly what I think has happened.

I wouldnt say it is bad but be careful of what you wish for.

On the flip side if someone is merely after fame that is not such a bad thing by comparison. It is not like those that seek wealth and power, it is at least going a more ethereal and potentially much less destructive goal. Having lots of fame doesn't necessarily take from others.

The problem with a lot of fame is that the more of it you get, the more decided people will be. A good modern example would be Taylor Swift. Some people love her, many don't even notice but some call her Taydolf Swifler.

Turns out you cannot get just the good, you have to have the bad come with it as well. Unless you are Weird Al, everybody loves him!
A lot of rich people fly on private/charter flights, which are statistically more dangerous due to less oversight, laxer rules and requirements for pilots.
If you have an actively used Nix system with a large disk, it's very likely that you have a large number of (unused) deriations with the same prefix in there. A derivation is also a lower-level thing than a package, so it's not guaranteed that you have a useful name & version in there.

I just checked on my laptop and I have, for example, over 400 stdenv-linux build outputs in there.

I have little experience in C, but probably I would try to use a struct for the machine state.

Even with no tail calls I think I would try to write the machine as mostly block of

bar:
step_bar(&state);
goto foo;

From my optic the benefit of tail calls is the ability to mix flow control and machine steps with function abstractions.
Yes! I learn from listening to podcasts and such, and it's somehow more fun, instead of being told "floob means chair, now say floob after me" (one new word out of eight) and being in language-learning-mode, you're just listening to someone talking about something interesting and they're trying their best to convey the information – but it happens to be in a language you don't really know. The https://www.russianwithmax.com/ podcast does this very well (though you need a bit of basics, e.g. Pimsleur, first) – I'm still trying to find comparable podcasts for other languages. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TPR_Storytelling seems to be an adjacent method, TPRS .
