> double taxation is harder to justify

Bullshit. "Double taxation" is such a weak argument to me.

When I buy gas at the pump it's taxed multiple times. State sales tax. City sales tax. Federal gas taxes. State gas taxes. Quadruple tax on me there.

My wage income has several taxes. FICA taxes. Payroll taxes. Federal income taxes. Potentially state income taxes. Potentially city income taxes.

When I pay for a hotel there's often a bevy of different taxes on that. When I pay my phone bill there's a bunch of different taxes on that. Even getting a drink at a bar there's a sales tax and a liquor tax.

And all of that is on money I've already paid all those several income taxes on, so it's really all just stacking there.

Oh but boo hoo ultra wealthy get their massive inheritance "double taxed". Get bent crying over your "double taxed", I'm quadruple taxed and more all the damn time. Weak argument.

> Otherwise they will not get the “donation” the next month

Claw back this month’s “donation” if I don’t meet your expectations — sure, that’s an air quotes donation.

No donation next month if I don’t meet your expectations — that’s just a bona fide donation like any other.
It is too bad most people don't like all the dull gray truth in your comment. Everybody thinks they are the exception, for good and bad.

That's PowerNap. Depending on your settings, your Mac wakes up briefly to check e-mails, updates and sleeps again. Normally it happens only during charging, but you can enable on battery power or disable it completely.

Bluetooth and wireless radios stay on for a longer while because to keep everything connected if you are moving from room to room at home or at work, also it's made possible because all radios are higher end models with their independent processors.

If you’re referring to people as “cultists”, consider that your point might not be as strong as you think. If you have a non-emotional argument about a browser, try making it with logic and data rather than emotion. For example, demonstrate awareness of where the browsers rank on the features which web developers really need (Google’s devrel team likes to highlight PWA features almost nobody uses even on Chrome) and show why the “walled garden” metaphor applies more to a niche browser than the dominant one by a large margin.
>They want their TCP/IP stack and safari browser hot and ready for their demanders of instant gratification.

Having short startup times is bad now? ...because of "instant gratification"? The rest of your rant might make sense in the broader context of what big tech is doing, but bringing it up in this thread and implying that it's part of a conspiracy where "The internet was captured, gamified, commoditized, and vertically integrated into a handful of giga-Corps" is unhinged.
I feel like if we stopped trying to reinvent the wheel, and senior devs had 12-15 to master one version of the wheel, things would be much better.
A good PCB design + a few STL files and this would truly be marvelous. I do own a flipper zero(I was one of the first backers so I've had it for a while). Admittedly it's a bit over-hyped and I never saw it as an rf swiss army knife because of it's limitations and shortcomings.

The two shortcomings I saw were the price and the lack of WiFi built in. In reality, if this project gets paired with a single board computer, this would truly be a match made in heaven. An 18650 lipo battery to power them on, a cheap stl file for a 3d printed case and you have a disposable one-off hacking device(as in drop it somewhere for a one time task and do everything remotely over ssh and a proxy like ngrok or bore).

Admittedly I started working on something of the sorts a while back though I never really got anywhere due to the lack of time. I actually wanted to include LoRa to the equation to make it truly off the grid. I got as far as writing some boilerplate code for the project and it's been collecting dust ever since...

Because memory vulnerabilities don't make programs immune to other dumb mistakes. You get these vulnerabilities on top of everything else that can go wrong in a program.

Manual checking of memory management correctness takes extra time and effort to review, debug, instrument, fuzz, etc. things that the compiler could be checking automatically and reliably. This misplaced effort wastes resources and takes focus away from dealing with all the other problems.

There's also a common line of thinking that that because working in C is hard, C programmers must be smarter and more diligent, so they wouldn't make dumb mistakes like the easy-language programmers do. I don't like such elitist view, but even if true, the better programmers can allocate their smarts to something more productive than expertise in programs corrupting themselves.
Can you complete the assertion or cite what you were going to cite (if it was half done)?
I think you're right in general -- that is, regardless of the original company's practices, the entity selling off the assets should be required to do that responsibly -- but then:

Whether or not it's "on development" -- that's sloppy. Like how it would be a problem if your preferred grocery store kept your details on the cash register you checked out through almost ten years ago. It's a point-of-sale terminal holding on to high risk data for no reason.

One aspect is that the server side is not free software. So only Canonical can reasonably host a repo of snaps.

That was enough for me not to look into the technical merits of the clientside implementation. The few experiences I had with snap was that programs were starting slowly (Firefox) and e.g. GPU acceleration did not work (vlc). Not sure how good the sandboxing is. But I run my Firefox sandboxed by firejail and the overhead can not be felt in daily usage.
Agreed, I've wondered why it's so ignored since I first learnt to program, and relatedly, why are programming languages strictly English-based?

Those slides are my introduction to Fortress. Sounds nice, sorry to hear it's discontinued. I'm struck by how very similar to Julia it is (which is officially inspired by Fortress), for example the focus on performance and maths, zero-cost abstractions, type specialisation, very similar syntax, ASCII<->Unicode equivalence, encouragement of unicode identifiers and operators, and some (small) amount of eliding '*' for multiplication. (You can write "2(a + 1)a^2" but not "(a+1)(a+2)" because the latter is a function call. Whitespace between multiplicands not allowed.)

It seems it would be easy to write a package to display Julia code as HTML or Latex, although I didn't find one. There's already a library to print expressions as Latex, and of course in a Jupyter notebook results are displayed in HTML.

> There is an unwritten social contract here.

Nope nope nope.

The only “unwritten contract” (aka “my rights”) is that if you display something publicly (on the web or otherwise), I can choose whether to look at it or not.

If you put an informational poster on the street next to a billboard, I’m free to:

- ignore the billboard

- take a photo including only the poster and look at it later

- get someone else to take a photo of just the poster and send it to me

- get someone else to look at the poster and summarise it for me

- etc.

When you put something in the public sphere you give up control of it. If that deal doesn’t work for you, find a new business model.

In fact, as a society, we ought to protect ourselves better and ban most or all forms of passive/unsolicited advertising. So not only is there no “unwritten social contract” that requires us to accept ads everywhere, there’s a moral and ethical imperative to fight to reject ads.
Well done! I had built something similar, but as a cli tool. It must still be sitting on my old laptop, never took the time to spin it up as a service.

What I miss feature-wise from my variant is text. IIRC, I had two lines of text (top and bottom, rendered in capital Impact of course) that were configurable on when they appear and for how long.

The main use of the text was to tease friends supporting rival sports teams after lost games. E.g. "STILL THE BEST" "DEAL WITH IT".

It’s interesting because this is the point of make, but it seems really common for make alternatives to miss this.

And that’s frustrating, because the place where a make alternative could really shine is not in making the syntax for specifying scripts nicer, but in figuring out how to design the dependency APIs so that you aren’t almost guaranteed to get them wrong in subtle ways.
I'm tall. If I had awnings on my windows all I'd ever see would be grass and awning. I have "black out" curtains on my windows and they actually do a fair job reducing the heat of the sun. I can feel the heat radiate from my metal front door.
you can technically do that but that would be a very confusing use of the name "hardware security token".

I mean, it's fair. I don't really use social media bar forums (HN and P&P RPG), and always had minimal presence on them, but nowadays, especially in France, it seems nothing of importance is on twitter.

FIFA and FIBA were never big on those platforms, using instagram instead, it was mostly invested by politics or other people trying to emulate/simulate the US media space. The only people i know outside of tech and politics who use twitter are NBA fans.

To me using it in europe is a clear marker of americanization, and most europeans aren't americanized yet, so it isn't really am important gateway.
Lowe's advertises awnings, but they're more expensive than that. I see a listing for "144 inch wide x 120 inch projection x 10 inch height metal solid motorized retractable patio awning" for $426. (I tried switching stores from San Francisco, CA to Albuquerque, NM in case of location-sensitive pricing, but prices didn't change.) One meter is about 39 inches, so this appears to be a bit under double the area (including 50% more projection) for a bit over double the price. But the vast majority of their listings are much smaller without being cheaper. Even the cheaper one is one square meter for US$100.

The problem is that it's hard to do this in a way that ensures good archival of ALL resources.

Bittorrent works well for popular things but fails for marginal content (unless some really dedicated individuals step in.)

What the internet archive provides is a way to have access to many many resources which you didn't know you needed in advance.
Packet size does affect the throughput quite a lot, though. The tests in the paper are without jumbo frames (I do agree though, that the results in that paper can't really be described as 'close', when io_uring is 1/5 the speed, only achieves that at the largest packet size, and has much more packet loss under those conditions)
If you mean someone listening is actually staring (without changing their facial expressions), then of course that's weird, but if they are adjusting their facial expressions to show reactions without looking away, what's wrong with that?
When the internet archive censors a website is it deleted permanently or just not publicly available?
Since 2022, I'm [only] on page 400 of Infinite Jest (D.F.Wallace). In particular, the intoxicated flashbacks (with no paragraph breaks for ppaaggeess) just make it difficult to plow through...

Boosts Immune System: Sunflower seeds are a powerhouse of antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals that support a healthy immune system. The vitamin E and selenium present in sunflower seeds help to strengthen the immune response and protect the body against infections. The zinc content in sunflower seeds also plays a vital role in immune function.

Improves Eye Health: Sunflower seeds are rich in vitamin E and other antioxidants, which help to protect the eyes from oxidative stress and age-related macular degeneration. The zeaxanthin and lutein present in sunflower seeds are crucial for good vision and reducing the risk of cataracts.

Regulates Blood Sugar Levels: The high fiber content in sunflower seeds helps regulate blood sugar levels by decreasing glucose absorption into the blood. It can be advantageous for individuals with diabetes or those at risk of developing it. The magnesium content in sunflower seeds also plays a key role in insulin sensitivity. (Agencies)

> If one variable is so insignificant that it is ignored whats the point of including it all together?

The variable is not ignored. The effect of that 3rd light mass on the other two is ignored. The effect of the two massive bodies on the 3rd is not ignored.

As an example when you are planning orbital manoeuvres for the JWST space telescope you assume that the movements of the telescope won't affect the Moon or the Earth. But the Moon and the Earth will effect the position of the JWST. While this is not "true", it is accurate enough to work in practice.

And of course the significance is that the 3rd light object is the only one the engineer controls. We can't change what the Earth or the Moon does, but we can make our spacecraft burn engines in a direction of our choosing. That gives a changed velocity vector. And then we can use the restricted 3-body problem to efficiently calculate where it will end up as a function of time.

CodeMic: Beyond screencasts – record and replay inside your IDE (demo)
Hi everyone! I've been working on CodeMic for the past year and put together a demo. I'd love to hear your feedback.

I built CodeMic to address a gap: books, blogs, and screencasts fall short when it comes to building projects from scratch or exploring large codebases.

With CodeMic, you can record, replay, and share coding sessions right in your IDE: every click, scroll, selection, and modification. Pause, explore, and experiment as the code evolves in real time. It's a more interactive way to learn, document, and share complex projects.

This is lazy argument. Commission is nominated like any other ministry from elected coalitions in particular countries.

Commission could be directly elected as well, but no country wants that because then national states would lose relevance - as the local governments would loose control.
The issue with ads is not just the fact that they prey on your attention, but also that they're a well-known vector for malware. You should never accept ads, because the risk that matters most to you if you don't have good mental hygiene is your person (i.e. identity theft, financial damage).

I don't know if bittorrent has improved - but 20 years ago I had a personal issue with it.

At that time our son was using it for games. He goes away to college and came home for the first school break. I get a phone call from our internet provider asking if our son was home. I was so shocked and handed the phone to our son.

Apparently at that time bittorrent was optimizing for the most efficient path to a host. Since we had relatively good connection, the mighty weight of the internet was funnelling through our tiny internet provider to our son's computer. The provider (without our knowing it) had made a deal with our son that he would only turn on bittorrent between midnight and 6 AM. I doubt other providers would be so generous.

I have been sceptical of bittorrent since that day.

It took me a couple of years to notice the "beautify" filter on my samsung S7 as I only ever activated the screen side camera by accident. When I did eventually use it a bit, I subconsciously knew something was off but assumed it was just spec differences between the two sensors and lenses, but then I noticed the "eyeball star twinkle" and realised what was up.

On closer inspection it turns out it was actually smoothing my hair and boosting the contrast so I looked like I had dyed "highlights", along with airbrushing my cheeks a flat orangey coloured skin tone with a rosy center, as if I were wearing foundation and blusher!
