Yes, same here. Forgot about the fact I forked the iamadamdev/bypass-paywalls-chrome at some point. Reading the notice, it looks like they are going after all forks and derivatives of this addon, including the "clean fork" here: https://github.com/bpc-clone. Also looks like they got rid of the filters list here: https://github.com/bpc-clone/bypass-paywalls-clean-filters

Update: looks like the clean fork is hosted here. https://gitflic.ru/project/magnolia1234/ (It's hosted in Russia, so YMMV).
Yes, it still is like that. In some cases, it's as bad as it's ever been.
I said it downthread, but GPS is even more absurd. And we take it for granted.

But it's based on the same idea, only getting position as a derivative of velocity. (And some borderline-magic statistics applied.)

And that's before taking into account the absurdity of how low power the broadcast signal is.

I hope we will never find out. But certainly there would be many duds. But this is calculated into the effectiveness of the system by simply having more missiles. That is how it achieves its goal of dettering a would be attacker. (Not even talking about how there are two other totaly separate legs of the nuclear triad with dissimilar personel and technical solutions.)
Mistral AI has released their updated Mistral Large model and it gets basically the same scores on the chatbot arena leaderboard as a GPT4 version from the end of 2023.

OpenAI has to constantly keep moving and improving their models with zero forgiveness for any complacency and so far they have only achieved less a lead of less than a year versus an underfunded competitor.

Meanwhile Anthropic and Google are managing to build commercial models that are on par with GPT-4.

My comment about the irony of a free speech post being censured was mostly sarcasm. That said, Hn has a pretty broad set of topics that are allowed through. Right now there's a post on the top page that is just a rant about people being late to meetings. Is this more of the "specific focus" of Hn than "free speech"? I'd argue the opposite since technology is playing such a major role in the censorship of today.

All that being said Hn remains my top visited site (by far), so I am not for a minute complaining about its quality of moderation.

We are so crazy as devs. We’re outraged when someone wants few dollars for their app. Especially when it’s a one guy trying to make a living from building small apps like this. In the meantime we dream about opening a 1 person software shop selling small apps and getting out of corp work.

This is total madness.
If someone is that consistently a bit late, I wonder if it’s something they experience with the same degree of moral and intentional charge as the author does. I wonder, for that matter, if the author and coworkers have taken up their concerns directly with the chronic latecomer.

Perspective from someone who identifies as a tidsoptimist, Swedish for “time optimist”:

> I'm sure it seems ridiculous to people who are always on time. They may be puzzled as to why such a name was coined for such a circumstance and why anyone would spend time and effort contemplating it. But such people exist, such as myself.

> Maybe big corporations with deep pockets and huge recurring revenue streams have warped our views a bit with the amount of software they can give away for free.

Quite the opposite. We've paid with our attention, patience, freedom and time for far too long to get fooled into the "paid software" shtick again. You can't sell me a window manager with a guarantee that Apple won't brick it in a future update or even with a promise it will get improved. I can't upgrade or extend it myself if the app does get depreciated, and I can't complain to Apple since normally they're the ones choosing what to depreciate. Best case scenario I get 2-4 years out of my purchase before it's depreciated, assuming I don't get bored with it or find a better solution.

Sometimes I wonder how much software on MacOS would be free if notarization didn't cost money. Apple has really damned their software ecosystem by forcing every developer to recoup their annual fee whether they're a multi-billion dollar corporation, an indie in Ghana with a used Macbook, or a Free Software advocate simply trying to get Mac users their packages.
Mike Masnick has a well known bias, and generally I think it fairly well matches a true & consistent view. If nothing else it's a view that few of those he has opposed over the decades have elaborated clearly or consistently; that consistency is both impressive, & the lack of consistency from those who would curb speech is a colossal disrecommendation.

Certainly officials bare a huge part of the blame for these ongoing travesties against speech & connectivity. But there is a very angry negative current in the world today, a disaffection with technology as a whole, that grows and grows. These rules, alas, reflect the simple public's simple rage, to some degree, I fear.

A lot of people get that wrong. It’s certainly not how we treat MVPs in my particular industry.

“ Yet what is often missed is that a minimum viable product isn’t merely a stripped down version of a prototype. It is a method to test assumptions and that’s something very different. A single product often has multiple MVPs, because any product development effort is based on multiple assumptions.”

It would've been more awesome if it supported BBR for congestion control. QUIC gains in practice can be annihilated just by not having BBR implemented in the protocol, so sometimes QUIC could be even slower than HTTP2 over TCP (if TCP is properly configured).

If that's happening all the time as GP says, probably true.

I do like reminding people that a lot of strategies / techniques / process improvements which help people with ADHD, also really help non-ADHD people as well. In this case, even someone without ADHD can occasionally forget or not mentally "record" a specific event/calendar date. Both ADHD and non-ADHD people would benefit from a calendar maintained by both them and their partner, along with both partners reviewing the calendar together. And periodic verbal reminders leading up to the day rather than just the day the event is agreed to and the day before the scheduled event.

The goal of most ADHD time-management techniques is to offload what you can out of your executive functioning brain / working memory, so that you can use as much of your working memory as possible for other unplanned & dynamic things that pop up throughout the day. Even if you have an excellent working memory, you still benefit from offloading stuff that doesn't really need to be there.

> it can chainload into e.g. an EFI image

Off topic, but does anyone know a good resource that explains how to correctly use "e.g."? (I've looked before, but didn't find one)

While I may seem like a grammar pedant, there are many things that have entered common use while arguably incorrect that I'm not so bothered about ("That begs the question", for example). However while this (incorrect) use of "e.g." is a hill I will die on, even so, I struggle to explain why it's just plain wrong. (It can be used to replace "for example" when preceding a list if examples that illustrate a point, but not as a generic replacement as in this case.)

Someone somewhere must have explained it better...

Gonna send this to my wife the next time she makes us late for an event.
There's still a lot of room there for issues, even if every meeting actually does end on time.

Say on person or team takes that to always have meetings end at :25 or :55, another always ends at :35 or :05, and another team say :15 and :45 for any meeting end times.

In my experience meetings seem to fall into common durations, always in intervals of 15 minutes but most common at 30 minutes or an hour.

I'd go even more strict on times and say meetings must start at :00 or :30, and always end by :25 or :55. That enforces a 5 minute window and standardizes start times without preventing longer meetings that need to run for 90 minutes or longer.

When the MacBook got the acceleration sensor, I hacked up a little program to estimate velocity, and a button to reset at stoplights. Some friends drove me around, it worked poorly. it did pretty ok on the highway, but awful in the city.

One thing that I hate about MacOs is that the Windows Expose (which is the mode that shows all windows of the current application) spans across all desktops, and that cannot be changed.

So this app (by default) does exactly what I dislike about that behavior, mixing desktops. Which makes sense, as people have different preferences.

However, is there a setting that allows it to show only windows of the current desktop? (Essentially mimicking Mission Control) And, if so, is there also a setting that allows you to display ONLY the windows of the current application?

If you allow those 2 settings (and better with different shortcuts) you'll essentially meet the needs and preference of most users!

The problem isn't exactly that "all directions are North", right? That is true only when you're smack on the pole; even a meter away from it, things are well-defined again in terms of directions.

Problems start when you're moving around or doing trigonometry, though; following bearings starts getting weird even at otherwise negligible distances, for example, and runway designators on the opposite thresholds might not be exactly 180 degrees "apart".

But it's not like these effects don't exist everywhere on earth at some scale; they get gradually more pronounced the closer you get to the poles, so I'd be surprised if avionics software would get really confused by them.
Can I ask about a term from literary theory? (2016)
>Yes, that's the plain view exception I mentioned earlier.

I think there is more than one plain view exception. Things in plain view from outside your protected space are definitely fair game but that is not what that case describes. Things were found in plain view while conducting a search for another reason. So, presumably, if your garage was being searched for a stolen car, that would not cover discoveries made while digging through boxes in there. But if they were digging through boxes for stolen property and found evidence of another crime, they could use it. The contents of opaque boxes are not in "plain view" but can be uncovered in an unrelated search.

Can a discovery from an illegal search give probable cause for another search? I think it can.

There are many ways the 4th amendment can fall apart in practice. All I was saying in the first comment (that I remember) is that evidence of additional crimes is admissible if it was found during a legal search for some other purpose. Needless to say, there are also many situations where an officer can lie about probable cause and get away with it. Juries and judges care more about stopping crime than the privacy rights of criminals. Only the most blatant violations of the 4th amendment ever work against the state from what I've seen. And if you're innocent, you can complain. But the complaints rarely go anywhere either.

Well, accuracy makes a big difference if you're trying to hit a hardened target like a missile silo. Missile guidance has been a constant effort to squeeze out more and more accuracy. Minuteman I started with an accuracy of 2 km, but now Minuteman III is said to have an accuracy of 120 meters. The Peacekeeper (MX) missile, no longer in service, is said to have an accuracy of 40 meters. You can use a much, much smaller warhead if you're 40 meters away compared to 2 kilometers.

It's not about walkable or not. It's about cost. It's just that people started wanting (or were forced to) save their money on more important things at home while also working much more (two person income households are the norm now).

I'm not sure why people keep harking on about walkable this and walkable that. It doesn't matter. What matters is that people can't find value in what these places offer. It doesn't make sense to spend an hours wage on a single movie ticket anymore. Or buy a round of beers for a weeks groceries.

Yes, walkable cities have more people spending time at home.

The cities where people seem to do the most are ones where costs of staying at home approach going out, such as HK, SG, KR, JP, CN, etc. These places have huge pressure on staying at home and home-body cultures and yet their third places are some of the best in the world.
