Funny, as a casual player starting out, dinking was a skill I really wanted to gain proficiency in. But now most of my opponents just drive or overhead as hard as they can, which I think is very un-fun to play against. The points are short and there's a lot of randomness. And the best counterplay is to just do what they're doing.
Having lived next to a semi-main street through a smallish California coastal city without much rain it is pretty eye opening how much black dirt and junk just coat everything next to the road.

Walk down the street and touch a bush or any plant leaf and get a nice black hand in the process. The plants are covered, parked cars get covered and the inside of my apartment was covered.

It wasn’t until I moved out that I saw the extent of the problem. I only lived there a few years but every surface of my apartment had a coating of the same black dust. I’m now very worried my short time there considerably affected my health.

Learned helplessness, trading digital sovereignty for convenience. There is a larger war being fought here that is bigger than you or me. Had Plaid not been forced upon me, I would never have used it willingly.
My suggestion (which I think I shared here for someone that was facing the same problem) is to go the way of bigger open source projects. Create a web site and add a link to the repo for the project. That's how I search for official repos. Either mention from reputable sources, or the project's web page. Not that it's more trustful, but a bit harder to spoof than just create a new repo on GitHub.
Nowadays nobody writes books for money so yes, it hurts only Amazon.
So what? We would still need to work on actively reducing current CO2 levels even if emissions dropped to zero tomorrow.
I know this is contrary to popular opinion but I wish people would slowly move away from python. I've wasted so much time in understanding, integrating or just making python projects work that at this point I'm just avoiding anything python. The best python projects that I can confidently say are high quality are the ones where a lot of the code is c,c++ or rust and python is just a high level wrapper.
Speaking for my own experiences... I have no idea how many ads I see in a day. I ignore them, with a vegence. I use ad blockers on everything, and I block ads on social media.

You don't know that ads work, you only think they do because you can't ignore them and are effected in some way; you remembered them. That wasn't the argument I was making. The argument is that 90%+ doesn't work because people ignore them.
This! I did this when an relatively new but obscure book was needed for work.

This has nothing to do with experience. What experience can you have when people explain to you behavior of many dimensional hyperbolic space? When you learn SVD matrix decomposition?

You don't need experience, you need some basic concepts.
I’ve built something for a solution that takes you most of the way there, using Semgrep’s SARIF output and prompted LLMs to help prioritize triage.

We’ve used this for the past year at Microsoft to help prioritize the “most likely interesting” 5% of a large set of results for human triage. It works quite well…

The US is quite violent by developed world standards, and it borders Latin America, which is insanely violent even by poor world standards.

IIRC, of the 50 most violent cities in the world, 17 are in Mexico.

This means that a lot more people who have seen grisly things (beheadings by cartels etc.) are present in the US, and this raises the awareness about what could also happen in the absence of a police force.
Thank you. I try to not make things more complicated than they need to be.
None of those are concrete examples, just unsourced assertions.

the discussion is about hypothetical results from classical mechanics, which, along with the rest of physics, is a mathematical model that may be incongruous with observations.

> Speed running communities generally don't care what exploits you use, as long as you are up-front and honest about it.

That is, precisely, a set of ethics!

> There really isn't an "ethics" of what exploits are allowed or disallowed.

It sounds like there is: disclosed exploits are allowed, while non-disclosed exploits are disallowed. This is very clearly a set of ethics. It is different than that of industry, where generally speaking trade-secrets and non-disclosure of methodology is often considered critical to business success, short of establishing protected IP; in academia, disclosure is putatively the norm but there is plenty of partial disclosure of methodology rather than complete… etc.

> The problem isn't the part about what exploit was used; it's the part where he lied to the community about which category it should be classified.

That puts it very precisely, and also highlights his unethical behavior in the context of speedrunning’s norms around ethical representation of achievements.
But you're assuming facts not in evidence, that people a) watch ads, b) that there is a quantiy of ads that can be quantified as being seen, and really c) that 10% of all ads are effective. You're making suppositions based on your own experience that have little to do with the central discussion.

Monocelular algae is on the order of 1% efficient at converting light into biomass. Land crops are a few times less efficient than them, and trees are 1 order of magnitude or 2 less efficient than crops.
> Not in one of the most obese countries in the world.

Obesity is primarily resolved through diet, not through exercise. It is exceedingly difficult to lose weight through cardio. Not only do calories take a drastically greater amount of effort to burn than to consume, but exercise directly increases hunger.
I think the key is to make a class of light-weight EVs with smaller, lighter batteries for life around town. Most of us rarely drive more than a few dozen miles a day.

RN barely works even if you're an experienced JS dev.

Something is just messed up with it, maybe it's fixed now but 2 weeks ago I tried to build an Expo app and the default template just doesn't build on android. Known issue on GitHub.

Everything is jerryrigged together. Flutter is what RN should of been, but Google doesn't seem to really care about it. Why one company needs multi cross platform frameworks, with multiple languages... I'll never know.

You’re framing this in a very funny way.

This is not at all the same thing as the Astros scandal. Astros didn’t break the agreed upon rules (edit: I’m wrong - human sign stealing was allowed, but electronic sign stealing was not). Groobo did break the agreed upon rules.

There is no “own notion” of ethics here, and it’s presumptuous and incorrect to suggest that exploiting games during a game exploit competition somehow reflects on ethics and makes the cheating “interesting”. Cheating and ethics in a competition is defined by what the agreed upon rules are. Perhaps ironically, your comment is developing it’s own notion of ethics.
No idea, I'm no expert at all in the scene :) it's just how TFA closes its story.
Huh? I haven't seen any humans create text without using text created by other humans.
Serious advocates consider it to be a research area, not a mature primary climate strategy. Someone in the 1930s would have been equally skeptical of “smog capture”, but it turns out modern catalytic converters are so good that we don’t have to choose between enjoying clear skies and driving around mobile smog machines.
Yes, the quantity and hazardous nature of different forms of pollution does need to be taken into account.

Unfortunately, tyre pollution seems to be more hazardous and produced in greater quantities:

From what the article says, that's doesn't appear to be true.

In order to download and transfer Kindle books from the Library, I have to first add them to "My Content" on Amazon, then from the Amazon interface click "Download & Transfer via USB". That's the only way to access the AZW3 files that get moved over to the Kindle.
An additional thing one can add is to block any connection that is not HTTP/2.0. Many bots still only use HTTP/1.1 or lower. I just drop with 444 but others may wish to give a friendly terse error message using 403.

if ($server_protocol != HTTP/2.0) { return 444; }

Here's another one that will block most non-browsers (except for headless chrome of course)

if ($http_sec_fetch_mode !~ (cors|no-cors|navigate) ) { return 444; }

These should be tested extensively on a non revenue impacting site.

Another bot-blocking method is to drop any TCP SYN packets with an MSS outside of a sensible range. Here is an example using netfilter on IPv4 in the "raw" table (to keep them out of the CPU impacting state table):

-A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp -m tcp -d {your_wan_ip} --syn -m tcpmss ! --mss 1220:1460 -j DROP

Part of the strategy might be:

1. Fire large swaths of the government. Declare victory!!

2. Hire those people back because it turns out that they're actually needed (who would have thought?). But that doesn't get news.

So in the end, things remain the same, but Trump/Elon get the headlines and their followers think they've done an amazing job.

Sorry, let me spell it out for you;

I refer to this incident colloquially as "The time trump told us to inject bleach", which would be more accurately described as "The time the president of america was so balls-on stupid that he rambled for five minutes about doctors using bleach and UV disinfectant to fight Covid, a ramble so incoherent that the CDC had to issue a warning to ignore what it appeared he was suggesting."

I have no desire to treat the "intelligence" behind that statement - or those with full throated support of his incredible genius - with any authority.

The "White Power" was the evil (though, quite stupid in its own right) part. The "Bleach" was the "stupid" part of my comment, and I stand by it.

For the longest time I wanted to move to Holland to get out of my frame. It was the 1990s and I was going to design school. The art and design permeated the civic space. And lots of Dutch people speak very good English.

There really wasn’t a legal vector for immigration and I wasn’t from a wealthy family, and I didn’t like the idea of illegal immigration, and living without a social safety net. And I’m a bit of a punk when it comes to commercial capitalism, which turned out to not be a winning disposition.

I settled for New York City. If you can make it here, you can make it anywhere.

The new paper regarding using a nuke to accelerate co2 sequestering in the sea from MIT....is man made water sequestration using minerals to bind the co2 from the water count as carbon capture?

I’ve just had a very close and traumatic loss myself. I can assure you that in some cases, a poorly chosen comparison of grief can have the opposite of the intended effect.

It’s a tough one, because the grieving mind isn’t particularly rational. You have to be especially careful of things that would otherwise be completely fine.

Much of it comes down to wanting real empathy -regardless of where their understanding of loss comes from. What isn’t desired is any kind of equivocation or comparison. And that is so dependent on how the message is delivered.

And I’ve lost dogs too, that can be absolutely devastating, so intellectually I get it, but the point still stands.
Anyone who isn't aware of this is either

All you need is napkin maths. We gain energy by turning carbon into carbon dioxide. Now, we need the same energy to reverse it, but with a loss factor.

We continue to see companies and politicians claiming it's feasible and will help us become "green". We should call them out on their shit. If we had the renewable power budget to use proper carbon capture on a large scale, we would already have a fully green grid.

---

Well... There are other methods than reversing c02 back into carbon chains.

Capture of CO2 and storage as CO2, mostly in compressed gas form in underground, has been proposed by a lot of companies. This is a logistical nightmare that has to be kept up for forever. Better keep that pressure chamber leakproof for 1000 years with likely upkeep. (setting aside how inefficiently that actually stores the carbon even if grabbing it from the air was free)

Ideas to shove c02 air bubbles in concrete are promising but barely enough to offset the c02 generated from creating the concrete itself.

One promising approach is to grow plants and turn them into charcoal. Charcoal is great for keeping fertilizer in the soil so that we can spread it over crop fields for a small increase in yield. Napkin maths on that makes it just require about Australia of farmland (if I remember) to offset the world's CO2 emissions. Almost feasible. (bamboo, algae, and sunflowers seem to be the highest biomass generators, but perhaps a slower crop that can handle worse climate is preferable)

But these are still worse plans than just building a green grid.
We may all come from different cultures and generations but this loss hits deep in the same way for everyone. When I was a kid, I remember thinking my grandparents were very odd. They’d wake up everyday at 4 am. Grandpa would walk barefoot to the temple in their neighborhood and spend the next 2 hours singing to the deities there, gently waking each one up, washing and dressing them for the day. Grandma would send hand made goodies (food) as an offering with him.

They both spoke very little through their life. Mostly smiled, never heard them say anything bad about anyone, indulge in any material pleasures. Though I got affection from them, there was also always a sense of detachment from both.

As I grew up I learnt that they had lost their youngest son when he was 5 to a snake bite. They carried the burden of not protecting him for a decade while spiraling into depression and only these rituals slowly started giving them some stability back. This was a full 40-50 year time span. As a 40 year old myself I marvel at their strength to live out their lives, also during times where you couldn’t even reach out to internet for support.
Before a bunch of people read this and become confused why their jitter didn't go to 0 "nothing you can do with your home network will ever make your jitter less than when you plug just your PC/Laptop directly into the ISP connection, let it get the public address, and only run a ping from it". Also things you do at home, such as use wireless, will often add a ms or two of occasional jitter even when you use a 6 GHz channel with extremely low contention and interference.

Bufferbloat is good thing to fix in general though and highlights why one should worry less about "how do single ICMP packets behave" and more about "how does actual loaded traffic of the protocol type I'm using behave in real usage". The results are often staggeringly different.
One problem is that we're building abstractions on top of older abstractions when that isn't most efficient. Suppose we write an HTTP server that can call CGI programs. Then we implement PHP as a CGI program. Then we write a Lua interpreter in PHP. Then we write our website in Lua.

Some of those levels are useful. Some of them are redundant. We should embed a Lua interpreter in our webserver and delete two levels of abstraction.

(I'm not aware of any actual Lua interpreter written in PHP, but it's representative of the kinds of stacks that do exist out there)

This is fake news. The backing study for this claim did all sorts of wonky unrealistic testing to come to this conclusion. If you own an EV, you viscerally know it's BS given that you're the one paying for the actual tire replacements on your real-world driven vehicle.
That's true, but it's also the Adobe DRM which can be trivially stripped using Calibre, so it's not a big deal IMO.
Authors still write books in a world where digital copying is so commonplace that people talk and trade openly with zero fear of repercussion. Trading material helps it to live longer and get it into more hands, giving it more significance, meaning that it has a chance of reaching an audience that has a portion of people who will seek out a means of paying for it, directly or otherwise (eg supporting some other work from the author, or even paying for it directly like when Radiohead leaked Hail to the Thief for free but fans still clamored to pay for it which also help to underline the fact that one copy does not equal one lost sale)

Digital piracy has been around for decades, naturally. The primary thing that computers do is copy data (you download a book, that's a copy on your hard drive. You read it, you've now copied it to RAM and to your graphical display. You sync it to another device, that's another several copies, etc). It will never be stopped

I met Joel Prichard several times as a kid… grew up in a poor neighborhood in the 1980s where we played Pickleball on the playground and in PE class… when I first started hearing about this new craze (from friends in the Midwest!), I absolutely lost my mind - you mean that game we played in the ghetto when we weren’t playing tackle football in the streets? I’d love to know the story of how it got from Bainbridge Island to my poor neighborhood, and at the time Joel was just the Lt. Governor, I never made the connection to Pickleball until adulthood.
Are you talking about the amazon library or an actual library that lends you ebooks? I'm assuming the latter, in which case you just plug in and transfer.
> For example: how do you roll out a new release of your product?

It's pretty easy to accomplish that with docker compose if you have containers, but you can also use systemd and some bash scripts to accomplish the same thing. Admittedly this would only affect a single node, but it's also possible to manage multiple nodes without using K8s / Nomad.

Assuming you're pulling down releases from a git repo, git diff can be used to detect changes, and you can then opt to either generate a patch file and send it somewhere, or just reset to HEAD. For server settings, any config management tool, e.g. puppet.

I'm not saying any of this is better than K8s. I'm saying that, IMO, the above can be simpler to reason about for small setups, and has a lot less resource overhead. Now, if you're already comfortable administering and troubleshooting K8s (which is quite a bit different than using it), and you have no background in any of the above, then sure, K8s is probably easier. But if you don't know this stuff, there's a good chance you don't have a solid background in Linux administration, which means when your app behaves in strange ways (i.e. not an application bug per se, but how it's interacting with Linux) or K8s breaks, you're going to struggle to figure out why.
i feel like only if they make lighter EV's along the line of an i3. A 7-8k lb cybertruck or rivian probably eats brakes like no tomorrow
Click through the links on that page.
One solution could be to require ceramic brakes which produce far less dust and may be more environmentally friendly, and even has greater performance which EVs will need for their extra torque.

Apple Books is pretty much impenetrable.

Amazon books are a mixed bag. I have a bunch where I haven’t been able to remove the DRM.
