There were a few using telnet before the web gained wider traction. For example, CDNow started out that way in 1994.
There is never a good reason for cookie banners, by definition.

The rule is that if you have a good reason for your cookies (i.e., basically one that isn't user-hostile), you have nothing to worry about and don't need a cookie banner.

It's only when you engage in user-hostile practices, such as tracking, that you need to ask for consent.

I'm being sightly snarky, but that's really the essence of it.
I've always thought SVG was a terrible format and I hate that it has become synonymous with "vector". The only thing it has is interoperability because of XML. Any binary format would be more performant. Then we have Inkscape that is basically a SVG editor so it has to stay compatible with the SVG standard. Proprietary vector image editors like Affinity, Illustrator, and Corel Paint all use their own formats, so they can add and change any functionality they want. It's just Inkscape that's confined to SVG.

That said, I don't think a single vector file is a good solution for icons. If you take a look at Windows 98 icons[1], you'll see that many icons are manually re-drawn for lower resolutions, which is something that ICO format can do which nobody else can do for some reason. A simple example is the calendar icon. Because a calendar has a "grid" for all 7 days of the week, it would need to have 6 vertical lines, which would look too busy in 16x16. So the 16x16 icon just uses fewer grid lines instead of turning everything into a blurry mess.

Anecdotally, I've tried using 16x16 pixel icons on the web before, but fractional scaling made them look bad on my phone.

Aren't there already tens of thousands of bonafide geniuses in India, working for a foreign tech company, earning mid six figures because it's a lot cheaper then paying seven figures in the US?

So hasn't that already happened?

Yes, if it already smells after chlorine, how can I know what else is in there. If it was from a clean source, it would not need chlorine in the first place.

No, water supply in Germany is closely monitored at the source, at the water works and even close to the user in apartment buildings and rental properties. Also, our water supply is not privatized, like in the US. A disaster like Flint could not happen here.

Need help putting your product or marketing data to use? Struggling to grow your website/app/marketing? I have over 12 years of experience working with developers and designers to measure and improve marketing campaigns and in-app user flows to acquire and retain paying customers.
they're self-funded, there's no interest rates present.
The low flow restriction was criticized at the time for exactly that but I believe the reason it ended up in the bill is twofold: manufacturers wanted a unified standard at the national level that didn't change at the whims of 50 different state legislatures and the bill was geared towards energy conservation, not water usage. Since toilets account for 30-40% of indoor water usage and pumping water around is quite energy intensive, it does have an effect even if you're in a wet region.
And the third. I'm a UChicago alum and my premed friends were always complaining about having to compete against beneficiaries of Ivy League grade inflation.
Yeah, I've had these discussions with some scientists who are _really_ into peat, and got down a rabbit hole looking at the various EU states and how they deal with their peatlands from a policy point of view.
I imagine their excuse is that the dating apps are not creating the bots themselves, so they can deny being complicit. They can claim they're victims of evil scam groups that are very hard to fight against. In the meantime users get the impression that the pool is far wider than it is in reality.
Hi! @threlte/XR maintainer here. Both of those features should be pretty easy to use with Threlte since the package exposes the underlying WebXR APIs. Here's a repl example with both transient pointers and depth sensing:

https://svelte.dev/repl/add20a88524c4f83aaeecbd7d873e731?ver...

There's likely an opportunity to do some abstraction here since it's a little clunky, but I've been holding off for the moment since these features are pretty new. We could potentially update the docs to make it clearer that this kind of configuring is possible. If you have any suggestions for either abstractions that we could add or more clear docs then don't hesitate, I'm all ears!
Seems like a ridiculous amount of hoopla over something that isn't even a default.
It's gotten so bad, even a governor has noticed:

The way billing is calculated should be clearly labeled along with the pricing. Azure does this too, it's super unclear what metric they're using to determine what will be billed for requests. We're having to find out via trial and error. If we request 0-2GB on a 6GB file, but the client cancels after 400MB. Are we paying 2GB or 400MB or 6GB?

Is there a billed difference between Range: 0-, no "Range" header, and Range: 0-1GB if the client downloads 400MB in each scenario?

I think it could be viewed by some as a bit harsh. Maybe a better approach could have been to simply ask what the intended purpose was instead of guessing there was supposed to be a point you just weren't grasping?

I do appreciate summarizing the pros and cons of things from a perspective of _actually_ trying to use all of them to accomplish a common goal though.

I think they were just trying to not give a purely subjective opinion on their differences... and one could argue that this information might be useful to make one's own choice as to which solution to use for their next project.

I didn't get the sense that they were trying to plug anything or drive traffic at all. I could also argue that merely linking to a blog post in the first place might be doing the same thing... but where should the line by drawn and who should the authority be on that?

Yes. But Tesla turned it into a competition between a company that invests in real estate and a company that operates highly profitable stores on the real estate.

The product they sell is a highly complex product that took half a decade of development and substantial upfront investment in technology and organization.

The difference here is that SES has to get up front investment to buy productive asset that could then make money. The never had to do a huge up front investment in technology, including a whole butt-load of very complex very unique hardware and software.

And that's not enough, because the terminals are just as big a part of having a functional LEO platform as the sats are. And that again requires a very complex development and a very large upfront investment in production.

Literally non of this stuff, neither the rocket, nor the sats, nor the operations, nor the terminals are a commodity in any sense.

You can go to a space company and ask to buy some propulsion for such a sat, no problem. But if you tell them 'we would like to buy 5000' your gone get back blank stares. Nobody just has something like that just laying around. And then you go down the line of every single part on the sat, no provider actually has the capabilities you need, and your gone have to get involved with financing all of that at least partially.

Congratulations on the amazing work/demo! An interesting extension of this would be integrating the "Level of Gaussians" approach presented at: https://zju3dv.github.io/LoG_webpage/

Also interesting would be to generate gaussian splats from Google Street View footage, and integrate it directly into the Google Maps 3D data as you have done.

Amplitude!(caveat being that I work there) We can replace Google Tag Manager’s functionality and also have product analytics and a bunch of other tools like experiment & session replay.

Unlike Google, we don't believe in walled gardens and so you can stream directly to Meta/Tiktok/Snap/etc and use whatever third party marketing tools you like.

Check out some of the differences and how to use our Tag Manager templates to switch easily over here:

I meant that nobody feels like they "have to" come in in the sense that everybody wants to come in on Saturdays.

I don't feel like I "have to" work 6 days a week - I do it because I want to. You may say that this is just because I'm a cofounder, but that's not true - I did the same thing at past startups where I was an early hire, but not a cofounder. Because I enjoyed the work, found it meaningful and loved learning. This is the kind of person we're looking for.
I've found myself to be much more comfortable to just define all my private keys in ~/.ssh/config on a host-by-host basis.
That's quite a stretch, comparing lack of sleep to marijuana. Lack of sleep doesn't get you hooked.

The article talks about the resignation of the president and antisemitism, but that's actually not the only recent trouble at Harvard: there were multiple independent cases of suspected academic fraud: in the business school [0], the Dana-Farber cancer institute [1] and against the now-former president [2]. The latter charges might have been more political, but the other two look pretty serious. Truly not a great year for Harvard.

Bear in mind that hypothesized impact is estimated to have occurred around the 4.5Gya mark. That’s still a lot further back than 3.8Gya. And I still wouldn’t categorically rule out microscopic life/life-precursors surviving the event somehow.
It's not clear why the request parser would have to be trusted. I assume you're just speaking about the call to execve running in context? That's not much of a request parser. At the point that you tell `run0` to launch a shell, you're not calling the actual commands to the shell the request parser, right?

I also think the notion of an untrusted client is kind of a hashed out thing. As said in the post itself, `run0` is an interface to `systemd-run`. `systemd-run` as a client may be more _involved_ but it doesn't seem like that has any relevance to whether or not it's more secure. It's a separate layer for the insecurity. While sudo is a single process, if it was two processes it wouldn't all have to run as root. That by necessity means something that was previously running as root isn't, which makes it more secure -- not less, right?

The actual elevator process is systemd itself which already runs as init on every machine you'll have `run0`. But by nature it's always the top of the process tree, it seems like it's _less_ complex to have systemd-init the immediate parent process. There are fewer thing that can leak into or be inherited by the spawned process.
Super clickbait title here.

They’re doing what seems to be literally the standard for windows anti cheat. That they’re Chinese owned is moot as worrying about evil Chinese government hackers is to me a secondary concern to the long and illustrious history of terrible security vulnerabilities in all kernel mode “anti-cheat” drivers.

It seems much more likely that this anti cheat driver is just as buggy as every other anti cheat driver, and will end up being exploited by the same groups that every prior driver has been.

My view is that the correct fix for anti cheating is simply pitting all suspected cheaters against each other rather than trying to ban/block them.
Happy birthday to the language that got me into software. Admittedly, BASIC as a language was quite limiting, and, well, basic. At least the flavor I was using. I made quite a few rudimentary games on my dad's old TRS-80 Color Computer, and eventually learned C because of it. BASIC may not be the greatest language power-wise, but it damn well may be the greatest just because of how iconic and important it was to the programming sphere as a whole.
I think many of these sextortionists are "real persons." That person they just arrested in Delaware was one.

There's a lot of really good-looking people that have learned to use their looks to the disadvantage of others (not just women -men, too).

I suspect Grindr is a target, as well, but folks are probably less likely to make complaints. Also, a lot of these extortionists are from nations that are not very tolerant of homosexuality, so they are more likely to go after hetero sites.
Cops have not demonstrated that access to more surveillance actually helps them catch more people. Meanwhile they still keep getting caught on their own bodycams dropping "evidence" like a bag of cocaine (where did the cop get that I wonder....) to screw innocent people over, at least when they aren't doing it with the bodycam off.

In fact, despite massive increases to surveillance tech, including cops having the location of anyone's cell phone whenever they want it thanks to private companies that are allowed to sell such data to cops with pretty much no limits, even though the cops themselves are not supposed to have such data, the clearance rate for violent crime is abysmal, 30ish percent.

Meanwhile property crime clearance rates are EVEN LOWER, at about 12%.

We don't even keep good stats about white collar crime meanwhile...

Before we give the cops more toys to harass us with, can we at least make them demonstrate they actually use the tools they have? Right now cops demonstrably do not do their jobs.
> Can we not deal with those issues ourselves

No, an individual labor seller would never be able to gather the information necessary since they experience so few transactions.

How can one expect markets to work without price transparency? Labor buyers have access to far more price data than labor sellers, which tells them which way supply and demand is moving, giving labor buyers an upper hand.

If you want labor to be allocated most efficiently, then labor sellers also have to have access to labor price data.
"With range requests, the client can request to retrieve a part of a file, but not the entire file. ... Due to the way AWS calculates egress costs the transfer of the entire file is billed." WTF if true.
I very much appreciated your article and the unbiased comparison, please don't stop doing these :) I think my only comment on it at the moment might be to show more usage of common scenarios between e.g. htmx vs other paradigms or frameworks.
Not entirely. It was years ago but I remember this op-ed of a woman who was hired by a company to build a dating profile on their site (they supplied her with photos of a woman the company had contracted for the photos).

The company made money by having men pay per message, or pay for 100 or 200 messages or something like that. Her job was to keep them talking, build relationships with them, and prevent them from finding out that the site was almost entirely made up of contractors like her. She said there was one man who she had been talking to for over a year, making hundreds of thousands of dollars off of him.

Ultimately, the company was never fined or the CEO charged with anything as their Terms of Service stated that they may utilize company-made profiles that the user may interact with to maintain an enjoyable experience (although said in much more opaque legalese).
To better understand your use case, I'm wondering how you would like to navigate an A-Z list. Is there a specific reason for a full list, or would you rather be able to search and display only content that is available on your service selection?

Lol this is the myth isn't it.

Reality is getting screamed at by a toddler while you single-handedly build a depression era shack in desert wasteland for 40k, while simultaneously working full time and somehow caring for your kids too. Spend your time tearing your hair out, essentially working 3 full-time jobs while paying for daycare, rent, and construction materials so despite all this work your financials go into a black hole.

My parents did send me a $100 Lowes gift card, so there is that. At least now I can do ghetto job of pretty much any building trade.

It's mostly that having a kid lites the fire under your ass, not so much others are helping because they usually don't.
Nice! Is it just you, or do you use some offshore people as well? (Eg QA)
Exactly. That's also the deal behind those "1 € houses" - castles, even ! - that one can buy in Italy or Switzerland.
Yikes, ads for kids is atrocious
So far I'm implemented pretty coarse-grained control over machine specs: it's $20/month for a MacBook-like machine and $3/hour if you want to use "a GPU" (whatever Amazon has available for cheap). I figured the config could specify exact disk/ram/instance type requirements in the future, it sounds like something you're interested in?

I'm sure airlines are totally scared of Musk and what if somehow the whole constellation falls out of the sky because of a tweet, then people couldn't watch netflix. Lets pay 3x as much because of Musk.

For government this is more of a reason.

But they aren't the first to think of the 'be the best Nr.2 strategy'. There are already multiple companies trying to do exactly that. Including Amazon, OneWeb and many others.

And arguable, many of those are better position then SES too.
Deflationary Loop
instructions not clear, my entire drive is empty now
Note that there are two separate issues being discussed.
This is something I learned the other day. Inflation and deflation are both redistributing wealth. Each transaction has someone who is winning and losing. One isn’t automatically worse or better. Maybe it is that both can be bad if there is a lot of it.
I'm concerned with the CCP government using their controlling shares of Tencent to surveil computers around the globe with their kernel-level software for their own national security interests.

> While sad, mile for mile FSD is better than humans.

For this statement to be correct, we’d need to have full disclosure of all travel using FSD at any point, accidents which happened anytime FSD was active or had been recently deactivated (for example, that guy who fell asleep counts even if FSD deactivated a minute before the vehicle crashed), and be able to compare that to the same trips driven by human drivers. You especially need to avoid including incidents in the human stats which are in conditions where FSD would do even worse.
