It’s so funny how the Brave haters will constantly outright lie just to get their point.

> Do Brave Ads replace ads on websites? What do Brave Ads look like?

> No, Brave Ads do not replace the ads that the Brave Browser blocks on web pages (like banner ads). You can find a list of Brave’s ad formats here.

> What do Brave Ads look like?

> You can choose which ones you’d like to see: images on the new tab page, cards in your Brave News feed, push notifications, and others.

Creators also don’t get “a” cut. Brave gives 70% of earnings on ads to users, and those can then decide how much they reward to the creators of whatever content they consume.

BAT being crypto is also nice because it automatically means you can just buy BAT directly and support sites without having to see a single ad or cumbersomely figure out how to somehow donate to each site/creator directly.

Gosh. No one answers the question directly.

1) Download HTTrack if its a large websit with alot of pages
2) Download Search and Replace program, theres many of them.
3) The search and replace program allows you to remove the appended web archive url from the pages in bulk.
4. Upload to your host.
5. Run the site through a bulk link checker, that test for broken links. There is plenty of them online.

I'll be interested to visit when I'm probably in Paris next spring. Notre Dame always seemed to me more impressive on the outside than the inside where, as you suggest, it felt pretty dark and dull compared to a church like Sainte-Chapelle.

I don't think people are cheering for the Islamists so much as they are celebrating the collapse of the Assad family's brutal half-century dictatorship.

Syria is a place where optimism goes to die, but this is the first time in generations that Syria has been given a chance to rebuild itself, so there's at least a tiny glimmer of hope.

Except that Nix does not download 100 GiB under unless you are installing a gazillion packages. First, Nix downloads compressed output paths. Second, it's not like Nix packages are substantially larger than Debian, Ubuntu, or Fedora packages. The extra storage space comes from (1) Nix keeping multiple generations to allow you to roll back to previous versions of the system -- if you break something, you can always roll back; (2) people using multiple different versions of nixpkgs, which could lead to having multiple versions of system libraries.

(1) is a feature of Nix/NixOS, if you want to use less space, you can trade off the ability to roll back for space. You could always garbage collect everything except the current generation and it would be similar to other distributions. For (2), avoid using multiple nixpkgs versions.

I generally like keeping around a lot of generations, etc. so I don't mind my history of NixOS systems keeping 100-200 GiB. But if you care about space, garbage collect and it won't take up that amount of space.
This COVID argument is weird to me. Go get your shot if you want. I have not gotten any boosters (only had the first two). I just do not need it. My roommate had COVID just last month and I did not get it.

The problem is not with the vaccine itself for most of us. It is about forcing it on us.
Empathy usually stops people from reading about thousands dying in war and feeling snug beneath the fireplace while doing it.

> FD&C Red No. 3 may be safely used for coloring foods generally (including dietary supplements) in amounts consistent with good manufacturing practice

What happens when new science comes in that determines it cannot be used safely? What does "safely" mean? "Safely" to whom? Under what conditions? With what degree of scientific consensus? Scientific consensus amongst whom?

"Good Manufacturing Process" is defined, but not in statute. It's defined by the FDA's own regulations, so FDA can update GMP guidelines based on that new science, sure, but all of it is now subordinate to judicial interpretation anyway.

My claim is that if people want this to be immune to Loper Bright overturn in some random court somewhere, we now need Congress to pass a law with something like "Red 3 cannot be used in a food product in higher concentrations than 3 ug/g" or whatever. We need Congress to pass identical laws for effectively everything FDA wants to regulate without risk of a random judge overturning it.

If new science comes in saying it actually needs to be 0.1 ug/g, welp, time to start lobbying Congress on this extremely, extremely niche and detailed change, which surely wouldn't lag behind the latest science by a couple decades.

You're claiming the statute is clear, so please describe specifically what the statute means.
I recently learned that there are two views: https://www.reddit.com/r/ParallelView/ vs https://www.reddit.com/r/CrossView/

And there is definitely a difference between them. If you try to view a cross view image using parallel view, it will look weird and not be easy to focus. Maybe the egg crate image was different?

Here's a quick test: https://i.redd.it/g5ilwgk99r781.jpg

Parallel view is easy for me but it takes a bit of effort for me to see cross view. For cross view, I start by looking cross-eyed at my nose and then try to see the image without fully uncrossing my eyes.
I also fall into the not fully understanding the dynamics at play here. What happens it the Assad family loses? Who would likely take control? Would this be better or worse for the regular Syrian person?

I don't understand what "AI" is referring to here. Seems like it's removing useless fillers in general, which makes the title underselling it. I thought it was a service removing AI images or something, which wouldn't be that interesting.
Wouldn't the simple fix be to delay backend (= one connection) closing until all pending replication it initiated is finished?

That still leaves actual crashes, which would need to use the shared memory to store the list of pending replications before the recovery of transactions is finished.

As it happens this is also one of the goals of Guile Emacs. Rather than relying on the now-popular cl-lib, it should be possible to use Common Lisp just as you would use Emacs Lisp or Guile (the language) because it would be implemented as part of Guile (the software/compiler tower).
I still have the original manuals from my Macintosh (1984), including those for MacWrite and MacPaint, as well as the 1st ed "Macintosh" book by Cary Lu. It's really something else to see computer books from that era. Beautifully typeset and illustrated.

I have many (and still use several) old O'Reilly books as well, including The Whole Internet User's Guide and Catalog by Ed Krol... the Second Edition which adds a chapter about the World Wide Web. There is a quaint Catalog at the back listing sites on a number of topics from Science to Entertainment. Gopher, Usenet, FTP, WAIS, and yes WWW -- the "whole" internet.

For many obvious reasons, nobody makes hard-copy computer manuals anymore. I still enjoy reading books, even on computer topics I could otherwise be reading online.
If the examples springing to mind were in 1945 then that says a lot about how US efforts are going in the modern era. There is no real comparison to how the US handled defeated powers in WWII and how the State Department handles regime changes from ... I want to say the 60s onwards. All the people involved in Germany or Japan's reconstitution are dead (Ed Deming, we miss you; heros of the peace are the most impressive ones).

Which is a shame because the 1950s strategy of investment and prosperity made the world much better and the modern strategy of destabilisation tends to make it worse.
Atomic means nondecomposable [1]. I dare say array-typed values are not atomic.

Re: "(instructor_id, List<skill_id>); PK(instructor_id)”, are your Lists sorted ? Are your Lists actually Sets?: what prevents `insert values (100, [2, 2, 1])` ?

If you think those are isomorphic, how about “(json_data); PK(json_data)” ? With, you know, all the same data in the JSON. Tomato, tomato ?

> Does this mean that SQL:1999 allows databases that do not satisfy first normal form? Indeed, it does, in the sense that it allows “repeating groups”, which first normal form prohibits. (However, some have argued that SQL:1999’s ARRAY type merely allows storage of information that can be decomposed, much as the SUBSTRING function can decompose character strings—and therefore doesn’t truly violate the spirit of first normal form.)

You’re overpaying for poor quality products. Quite simple.
> While the SLA says 100%, don't expect perfection

When you have an SLA, understand what it is: a financial arrangement whereby you can request a prorated refund for certain types of outages. It is not in any way a guarantee on the part of a provider that you'll experience even average uptime equaling or exceeding the SLA, just that they can pay out the fraction of customer requests for service credits they receive for the covered outages they have and still make money.

The reality for the type of service the author of this post purchased is that for any physical damage to the fiber plant, he will experience hours of outage while a splice crew locates and repairs the damage. Verizon might offer a 100% SLA, but they didn't engineer it to even five nines of availability. That would require redundant equipment and service entrances at his premises along with path diversity end-to-end.

Reading through comments on living paycheck to paycheck was brutal as it sounds like many people here have no clue what really living paycheck to paycheck is like.

No, it doesn't mean you can still go out to eat and have a club membership. If you save nothing after you use up your entire paycheck going out to eat and paying for a gym membership , that means you aren't handling money well.

Sorry folks, but many of us here sound entitled. Having been poor and scrambled my way up, it was depressing reading.
Worst part about such small payments is that intermediary, that will process the payment, might get 50% or even more of said payment, leaving not much to receiver. If someone really wants support, they will either have a link to "merch" store, or links to Patreon, Kofi or some other platform. Worth noting, that content creators usually seek recurring payments, not a single tip.

Unified API for AI Agents to Communicate Across Channels – Feedback Needed
I'm building an API that lets developers enable their AI agents to communicate with users across multiple channels (email, Slack, SMS, WhatsApp, etc.) through a single integration.

Why? Developers spend significant time integrating and managing different communication platforms. This API simplifies the process while offering users more flexibility in how they interact with agents.

Key Features:

- Unified communication across multiple channels via one API.

- OAuth token management: Simplifies login flows and token handling for developers.

- Centralized user control: Users can monitor and revoke tokens in one place.

- Analytics for developers: Insights into agent usage and performance.

- Consent management: Tools to ensure user consent for actions.

I'd love to hear from developers working on AI agents: Is this a problem you're facing? What would make this solution indispensable for you?
The video in question can still be viewed on the Internet archive

Its a system. I think Frontline did a episode about it. There are even consulting companies that will teach police what to look for to maximum asset forfeiture gains like types of cars, best with out of state plates (so its harder for them to come back to the local courts to appeal), etc etc. None of it was about preventing crimes, all of it was about maximizing profits - much of which they can keep and spend as they like without any oversight.
I'll say what I always say when seeing things like this: for humans, "dying of natural causes" generally means dying peacefully in your sleep, or quickly of a heart attack or stroke, while for most animals, "dying of natural causes" means getting eaten alive, just praying that it will be over soon. I'll take being human.

There's a reason they're doing that and someone like Theo de Raadt is bringing us OpenSSH (and OpenBSD).

In computer security defending is much harder than attacking. It's not even comparable seen how gigantic the gap is.

(dark side) Hacking is easy (and, yes, I did it when I was late teenager/early twenty-ager). Protecting stuff is the hard part.

For our particular project you only need to install Nix and then run nix develop, but I'd indeed recommend to use direnv. For me it's not an issue, since I run NixOS on development VMs, but a colleague who was not using Nix before (I think) also wrote a bash script to set up an AWS VM with the NixOS AMI and then rolls out a minimal NixOS configuration.

I think for people who don't want to dive into Nix much, doing an imperative install (nix profile install) of the necessary packages is also fine. You could even make your own small meta-package that depends on everything that is needed. Then they could do a nix profile install yourflake#yourmetapackage and have all the tools they need. But I agree direnv is a bit harder, since you'll have to put something in the shell rc/profile.

Plus, to me it seems like this could be ripe for abuse. If you are reading a great post on something, how do you know if the HTML meta tag actually would go to the author of that post, or the hosting platform instead (who sneakily puts in that meta tag on all their hosted content).

With an explicit button, you have to read and acknowledge who you are giving to.
That second video with the snorkelers sidling up to the orcas while they're attacking/feeding -- I know orcas have no record of attacking humans, but that's just a no^100 for me. Who's to say they won't get a little rambunctious in their glee at feeding and use one of the swimmers as a chew toy? Or decide that we might taste funny, but would make an interesting palette cleanser? In some parts of Africa, lions don't usually target humans, but you don't see researchers walking up to lions taking out a zebra like that.

The open web is a platform for freeloaders. Since day 1 the expectation is that whatever is accessible will be free. And whatever isn't will be made free by whatever means necessary. Web content creators/publishers don't bother with micropayments infrastructure because no one is going to pay. Ads are a proven business model and they are going to stay.

There are other platforms where micropayments have in fact been solved – see Twitch, OnlyFans, YouTube, Substack, Patreon, IAP on iOS/Android, WeChat, Gaming. That's where the innovation in the space will be because that's where the money is.
