The Chinese Great Firewall (GFW) has already been using machine learning to detect "illegal" traffics. The arms race is moving towards the Cyberpunk world where AIs are battling against an AI firewall.

We are, in fact, the gate.

This, but unironically used as a marketing trick:

There was no v1 of Oracle Database, as co-founder Larry Ellison "knew no one would want to buy version 1"

That's why the first Oracle database is v2.

Recently, Spain declined a ship carrying weapons to Israel to use their port.

Run all of them for extra brightness.

Not just installing. When updating, sometimes it tries to reset the options and change my default browser to edge.

It's the collaboration edition with the cartoon character タイツくん (Mr. Tights), and there are many more goods like this on their website.

Specifically on this package. At the top there are タイツくん (Mr. Tights) and 大人のドリトス (Doritos for adults, which I should note doesn't mean it's adult-restricted, they just put that to many food and drink to mean those can be enjoyed by adults).

In the main image, we have 電気アンマ復活, revival by an electronic massager, which is a mischief game played by one person holding the other person's legs, stepping on their genitals, and turning around the feet, mimicking an electronic massager, as is shown by the characters.

In the bottom left, it says ブラックペッパーとソルト味, black pepper and salt flavor. In the bracket, 竹炭入り, added bamboo charcoal, which is also quite common in Japanese snacks, because people think it's healthy.

I'm not saying everything about China is evil, but 996 is an actual thing, actively resented by Chinese young people. I've got friends working such schedules. I'm presenting their views. I had also visited their offices and saw the folding beds.

For those who don't know, it's not quite new (except for the word that describes it, Ban Wei 班味). Because of the long working time, a lot of Chinese companies (especially in the tech sector) allow very casual dressing, plushies, even folding beds in the office. Sounds good but is actually horrifying.

Zizek's take on 300 is so good, here's an excerpt:

it is the story a small and poor country (Greece) invaded by the army of a much larges state (Persia), at that point much more developed, and with a much more developed military technology - are the Persian elephants, giants and large fire arrows not the ancient version of high-tech arms? When the last surviving group of the Spartans and their king Leonidas are killed by the thousands of arrows, are they not in a way bombed to death by techno-soldiers operating sophisticated weapons from a safe distance, like today's US soldiers who push the rocket buttons from the warships safely away in the Persian Gulf? Furthermore, Xerxes's words when he attempts to convince Leonidas to accept the Persian domination, definitely do not sound as the words of a fanatic Muslim fundamentalist: he tries to seduce Leonidas into subjection by promising him peace and sensual pleasures if he rejoins the Persian global empire. All he asks from him is a formal gesture of kneeling down, of recognizing the Persian supremacy - if the Spartans do this, they will be given supreme authority over the entire Greece. Is this not the same as what President Reagan demanded from Nicaraguan Sandinista government? They should just say "Hey uncle!" to the US..

The original "agile" is a reaction to the overly rigid planning and emphasizes worker self-management. It makes sense since the people who are closest to the work (the workers) know best how to plan and implement the work.

It immediately breaks down when a specialized management tier emerges and tries to push their own agenda, i.e. to sell themselves rather than do something meaningful.

At this point, whichever form is used doesn't matter. The management, endowed with the power from above, will exploit the weakness of any agile-shmagile methodology to push their own agenda.

The real problem is, how many politicians and capitalists are we willing to sacrifice before we get this 4-day mandate.

Now all of China care about your privacy.

What? That's literally a feature I got with a plugin. YouTube feels so much better without the algorithmic reinforced "hype" videos with no content and it's good for your mental health too.

Don't laugh, this is a serial question.

You mean before or after he's appropriated by Alan Moore as an anarchist symbol?

I've heard a podcast interview of a very talented person. He said that he left MS because of "internal politics". I thought it was personality conflicts or something, but stack ranking might explain a lot.

I doubt it. They laid off 9 percent of the staff this July. That's far away from the 2077 launch. I would guess it's after the majority of Phantom Liberty's development is done.

At least in the UK, if you work like an employee enough, the court can overrule the technicality of your employment status as a contractor and apply labor law protections.

Hey, put down that Lemmy.

You told it to disrespect you?

1. Buy groceries when the price is low.

3. Profit!

Static websites can be beautiful and easy to use without being complex.

PG's blog and HN can definitely use some CSS tweaks. I can't remember how many times I clicked the wrong thing in HN.

On the other hand, it's easy to get reader mode/custom CSS/alt frontend working for such websites, so maybe it's alright after all.

For those who want a deeper dive into the tax evasion problem (albeit mainly focused on the US), I recommend The Triumph of Injustice: How the Rich Dodge Taxes and How to Make Them Pay by Emmanuel Saez and Gabriel Zucman.

IMHO the reality is more complicated than what's described here.

1. Open source is sustainable (in the sense that people will continue to do it), even without the maintainers getting paid, for better or worse. This is evidenced by the history and the majority of open source projects now.

2. The bait-and-switch problem, which gets the maintainers paid, hurts the ecosystem in the long run, which relies heavily on the good faith.

BitTorrent has partial seeding. So if someone extends a torrent with some files, the original one can still be used for seeding.

Another reason for the last bit being the slowest is because populars chunks are downloaded first.

In some sense yes, but advertising for its own stuff is advertising too. It nudges you to use their whole ecosystem.

The most annoying thing for me is that you can't remove the iTunes component in mission control (the settings deck).

Have you heard of 996.icu? I don't know where you get your statistics, but have a walk around 五道口 and you'll understand.

Also, I don't know where you see that I'm a fan of CCP. The government is largely responsible for the phenomenon by not prosecuting the companies lol.

It's a "terminal multiplexer", i.e. you can start multiple terminals in a single terminal.

You might ask, why not open a new terminal window or tab? Well, you can only do that in a desktop environment and that's not always available. Even if you can, you might want the terminals to be side by side in a single screen, which might not be easy to do with window tiling.

The real power of tmux, though, is that it manages the session you created. To quote from the manual:

tmux may be detached from a screen and continue running in the background, then later reattached.

So, one use case would be saving your current terminal setup. Instead of exiting the terminal and navigating to the project and setting up the environment again next time, you can simply detach and re-attach.

When connecting to a remote server, this is especially useful:

Each session is persistent and will survive accidental disconnection (such as ssh(1) connection timeout) or intentional detaching

Suppose you want to execute a long running command on a remote server. If you just put it to foreground, when you exit the ssh session, the job is also killed. If you put it to the background, its output can't be easily observed.

With tmux, you can simply run it in the foreground like normal and detach. When you reattach later, the job is running and you get all the output easily, as if you have been in that session all along.

Because these two industries are both labor intensive.

Gives a new meaning to Lemmy Shit Post.

There's the GitHub product feedback repo, but as a closed source product (I know, the irony), you can't point to the code for the problem and nothing other than blind luck can guarantee you a reply, let alone a fix.

On top of that, they are adding ads to the UI, even for paying customers, so there's that.

*invisible corn on the invisible cob

The sentence meant to be sarcastic. The dry humor was lost in translation.

Every time I plugged USB-C into SDCX: perfect height, but why are you moving?

To be good at programming, a lot of knowledge is needed, but "accidental". From practical ones like how to use git, to conceptual ones like cache performance mental model. It's perfectly possible that git is designed with a different CLI, or the common cache line size being 512 bytes. Mathematicians usually don't care about these things, since they are accidental. So they are bad at writing programs that's far away from math.

It's a completely different story when they are writing programs about math. If the tool is good enough, i.e. allowing them to express math ideas in familiar terms, mathematicians are very good at writing math programs. As can be observed in Lean and mathlib.
