Why would it?

I've used relayd in front of a ruby on rails app that spawns 4 sockets, but I don't see why you would do it for httpd.

Note that httpd is based on relayd and likely still shares a lot of the same code.

Why do people mod their terminal prompt to display the current date/time?

It feels like one of these "ricer" things like opening 9 terminals just to run cmatrix and screenfetch.

Microsoft sells endpoint security products and it would be unfair if third party solutions couldn't leverage the same APIs, it makes a lot of sense that a regulator steps in. I'm not aware of Apple selling security products or competing with third party security products.

I work in a customer-facing role for a similar product. The handful of customers that asked about kernel modules / drivers saw it as a plus not a con.

Enforcing auto-formatting is a common practice in my experience. Currently working on a project where the repo will refuse commits that are not following the repo-specific formatting settings.

I think it is a sane default in 2024.

You'd need a license to export to most countries and show that you have controls in place that they are not sent to countries/companies/people on a blacklist/watchlist.

This is true for anything cybersecurity related and more strict for "intrusion" tooling.

Not sure about domestic sales though...

The same dev has an Everything alternative: WizFile [1]

That works for FaceTime calls, but not for video recordings with QuickTime.

I can't think of a single language that doesn't have REPL functionality and Jupyter is literally developed by academics.

I recently used platypus [1] to turn a ruby script into a macos menubar app. Something for which I wish there was a windows variant...

Embedding a script into a small tray icon/menubar app can be extremely powerfull even with its low complexity.

There's only a limit of how much alcohol you can have in your bloodstream. Doesn't matter how or when that alcohol got there.

Drinking a beer in the car is just as legal here as drinking a pepsi. Personally I don't see the problem.

I don't like presenting my screen or slides via the camera feed.

In certain apps, like MS Teams or Zoom, the bitrate for camera feeds is much lower _and_ you are just one of the several feeds on the screen. A screenshare takes over the layout so everyone is looking at the same thing.

It would be better if this gave a virtual screen rather than a virtual camera.

Yeah the logo is a bit confusing, but the full name is "Oxide Computer Company".

In the Soviet empire

This is the exact quote from the article, it clearly states that men received more relative to their size:

> In response to the study, Google gave $9.7 million in additional compensation to 10,677 employees for this year. Men account for about 69 percent of the company’s work force, but they received a higher percentage of the money. The exact number of men who got raises is unclear.

> There is no universally agreed upon acceleration curve

The gold standard (for my generation) was set by microsoft with the Mouse Wheel Optical 1.1a and IntelliMouse Explorer 3. It was 400 DPI mouse on 90-120 PPI screens.

Higher PPI on screen lead to higher DPI on the mouse. No need for Windows/MacOS/Linux to implement their own stupid acceleration charts.

> So what, do you complain that not every single vehicle has the same foot peddle resistance?

I've heard people complain about the responsiveness of their brakes for sure.

In a VNC situation? Try installing it to ~/Applications rather than /Applications.

After testing & buying everything out there, I settled with LinearMouse [0]:

  - FOSS (a plus but don't mind paying)
  - Control of scrolling mode settings different for Horizontal vs Vertical
  - Can disable mouse acceleration (I think only CursorSense can also do this).
  - Universal back and forward buttons (replaces SensibleSideButtons)
  - Settings are different per input device, scrolling can be per app

I cannot stand any mouse acceleration. And I don't understand how people can work with it. You have to retrain the muscle memory each time you switch OS.

This happened in the dutch usenet piracy community.

Downloading happened over usenet, but curation and discussion on a centralised website. The site got seized and the community moved to a new forum that runs on usenet itself.

Blockchain is overkill here - don't need a coin or stake or whatever

> Julian Assange leaked the DNC emails on behalf of Russian intelligence.

Journalists report on leaks from intelligence all the time, to the point that the "Intelligence sources say"-phrase is becoming a meme of US "news".

You can't open CNN or MSNBC without seeing some FBI or CIA head telling you what they want you to think.

Why something is being leaked is relevant, but it shouldn't be a reason to ignore the truth or attack the journalist.

These new models give me hope that computers will be able to understand me soon.

As a Flemish/Dutch speaker, not a single assistant is able to understand me in my native tongue. I can use Siri in English, but then she doesn't understand things like contacts or addresses. Also I cannot dictate text messages or people think I'm a spammer.

Those sanctions are often enforced by financial institutions (banks). They rather stop transactions or freeze your account than take a chance.

5.1 Authority. To enter this Agreement and use the Games, you must be a live human (e.g., not a corporation, organization, artificial intelligence (good or evil), extraterrestrial, sentient non-human primate, etc.). However, this restriction will not apply in the event of the occurrence of a widespread extraterrestrial, robot, simian, or similar takeover of planet Earth, in which case we welcome our alien, robot, ape, or other overlords, as applicable, (such parties, "Their Eminences") to play our Games, and Their Eminences will be subject to the terms of this Agreement, mutatis mutandis, commencing on the date of the takeover and continuing for all periods thereafter, until such date as human governance is restored. Provided, further, that in the event the takeover necessitates the forced migration of the human species to Mars or other celestial body, where the Games are not operable at this time, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to (a) expand the locations where the Games are available and waive applicable restrictions under Section 5.2, below, and (b) enable local game servers as promptly as reasonably practicable, subject in each case to the availability of necessary interplanetary logistics, utility, sustainable life support, asteroid deflection systems, local stores or distribution services, and rule of law, as may be provided by our affiliates, our third-party providers, celestial beings, or governmental or non-governmental organizations.

The Twitter and Reddit integrations are really great.

I have all my work-related social media in NNW without the distractions.

FreshRSS as a self-hosted server.

NNW for Apple devices and NewsFlash for linux.

SWIM has a leaf-shaped magnet that can be demagnetised via remote.

You put it on the plate so that it cannot be scanned but if police pulls you over it falls off.

You can enable IMAP and then use one of the many solutions available. imapsync comes to mind.

Apple offers a Content Blocking API which is leveraged by most apps and similar to mv3.

Most of these apps (now) also include a JavaScript extension to block the harder ads (eg youtube). This a recent development that apple seems to encourage.

Some apps also offer network-level adblocking by using a local VPN server, which allows for blocking in apps.

There's very little incentive to actually "solve" the problem.

While we’re at it, can we do the same for loading screens?

I’d like to know my DNS is hanging rather than something completely made up, Discord.
