They cannot.

I read the whole thing and missed that. Thank you for the correction.

No. The grandparent comment was essentially saying that we, as a species, were not designed to live as long as we do. It’s only been <10 generations since medicine has been a thing. Cancers, dementia etc just weren’t a thing before because we evolved to live long enough to bring our children up to be self sufficient and reproduce, then our job is done. Like the rest of the animal world do.

Modern medicine has messed with this. We weren’t meant to “old”.

Backblaze don’t charge egress if you put it behind Cloudflare (even the free tier).

The author does not state how he knows he is on the MAL. It’s an important part of the story. If he doesn’t actually know, it’s more than possible it is random.

Really? Crikey. I am happy to be wrong.

HN certainly leans one way. X has gone more central.

BUT remember that what you see is driven by the people you follow, mostly. Don’t like what they say or their political persuasion? Unfollow.

Looks like a good alternative to istat. The “new version” upgrade model that istat now do has put me off for life.

Thanks for the laugh!

I was talking digital. The output has to hit a device that does something with pixels at some point. At that stage it isn’t encrypted. (Think ribbon cable to LCD, or equivalent). No reason why an FPGA or some custom hardware can’t grab that, just requires engineering effort.

Look at glibc. eg: https://github.com/lattera/glibc/blob/master/string/strcpy.c

The DRM doesn't need to be broken. If it can be displayed on a screen, it can be captured. Just requires electronics engineering effort.

This made me think, I used to love playing with Enlightenment back in the day. It was really trying to push what X11 could do.

You’re correct that modern web apps support keyboard shortcuts just fine. Unfortunately the reality of it is that the modern web is bogged down by the mess that is npm modules, react etc, and the majority of web apps are slow. Oldschool terminal apps you can just type away, and you know your keystrokes will just happen. The modern web? Urgh.

Don’t get me wrong, you can do it right, but most don’t bother with non- functional requirements “this should take 5ms” etc, so you just end up with pointless animations and transitions that stop useful work being done. This is often simple things like the tab order being wrong, or an AJAX request blocking the next thing you want to do.

“Number ONCE”. NONCE. Indeed.

You've got to start somewhere. Dogfooding makes sense.

Flagged this because it is a security clusterfuck.

Was actually lucky enough to be taught by the co-inventor of the ARM cpu. Furber is awesome.

My CS degree course used SML as the first language to teach everyone in the first semester. Put everyone on the same level, as it was unlikely people would have prior experience. Also made it easy to teach things like recursion.

Really enjoyed it.

Huh?

They are complying so they can do business in the respective countries. Not really news.

It’ll be on soulseek. Most forget it exists.

They will offer integrations into enterprise systems, just like they do today.

Lots of big companies don't like change. The existing document processing companies will just silently start using this sort of service to up their game, and keep their existing relationships.

This thread is a virtual UA meet

I used to be a Rachel-a-like in a past life. Really tight SLAs (mobile network infra etc, so people have to be able to make emergency calls, for example).

So many times I got bridged into a conference call whilst fixing things & doing RCAs against tight SLAs, as non-technical people didn't have any sort of idea that it was wasting my time. "I am fixing it, I will send updates as per contractual agreements" puts phone down.

On several occasions I got 2 emails after the fact - one praising me for resolving quickly, another asking me to please be nicer to executives. The calls stopped after 5 or 6 times.

Things have moved on these days, and it's much easier to coordinate such events on Slack etc. Thankfully!
