Whatever ideals and goals they may have started life with, NFTs and cryptocurrencies are now scams. All of them. No exceptions.

Don't agree? Three points:

1. You're wrong,
2. Watch this YooToob video -- it will be one of the most informative two-plus hours you will spend this week,
3. Go visit the site Web3 is Going Just Great, which has a new post every day -- every damned day -- about the latest cryptocurrency and NFT regulatory actions, arrests, scams, and fsck-ups.

Here's a lovely little resource to help you select a programming font, with IntelOne preselected. It does not appear to have ligatures (which is the new hotness in some fonts).

Fonts that you have to stare at all day, every day, are a very personal thing, like a favorite keyboard, or favorite chair. For roughly 20 years, I was using ProFont (a/k/a ProFontWindows), but last year I switched to Iosevka.

This jumped out at me as well. I'd be interested to know who chundered up this number (and whose payroll they're on). Simple arithmetic will show that $3.4E+06 will get you maybe 20-30 full-time people in the SF Bay area. There's no way Reddit can replace thousands of moderators, each with domain-specific knowledge, with a mere 30 people.

It seems like, every time Huffman opens his mouth, he insults his userbase, his for-gratis workforce, and digs his commercial grave even deeper.

The obvious problem here is that buildings are primarily stores of value, like NFTs, rather than productive properties. Owners would rather stomach vacancies than admit that maybe the rental value has gone down (and thus potentially affect property value). Supply and demand is broken here.

With a steep vacancy tax, owners would actually be forced to rent out their properties at whatever rate matches demand.

You could also point out that violent crime is worse in red places.

Union square was pretty much the only "disaster area" that we saw. I've seen just as bad in my home town of Salt Lake City though.

We just spent a week in San Francisco, and our hotel cost was actually reasonable. We were just a block away from the Presido, and had an amazing time all over the bay area. I'm not going to cry because "boutique" hotels can no longer charge $700/night for a studio room with Ikea furniture next to the ferry building.

Heh, same.

Reddit is a special place. It's awful. It's wonderful. It's diverse. It's a hive mind. It's *kind* of like Slashdot, but where they were more "hey, this firehose is WAY more interesting than the main place".

You could degauss the platters. Once done, you'd end up with a perfectly "smooth" magnetic flux field from which no previous data could be recovered. Re-install the platters and re-format.

Alas, it's probably not "economically viable," as it would be labor-intensive and require a clean room.

...There are no nice, genteel words for the "decision process" that spurred this change. This is straight-up congenital brain damage. I guaran-fscking-tee you that all bugs filed against this change were closed with the sniffy, "NOTABUG: Working as designed."

Google Authenticator was correctly designed from the outset. You do not create a single target for adversaries to attack. You distribute the secrets and ideally isolate them so that adversaries have to compromise thousands of systems instead of just one.

As for, "What if you lose your phone?" Well, what if you lose the keys to your car, or your house? You don't expect the home builder or car dealership to chunder up a duplicate, do you? The ability to export your GA credentials has been there for years. Save them to a USB key and put it in a safe place.

Meanwhile, I'll be transitioning completely over to andOTP.

"Don't be evil," has been dead for a while, but I had hoped they would have at least held on to, "Don't be stupid..."

Modernise the train coonnections -- they're already there, and it won't take much more than 10 minutes and be a heck of a lot cheaper for the volume.

Going by surface area, an olympic swimming pool is 1250 m^2, Wales is 20.78 Gm^2. This makes an olympic swimming pool roughly 60.15 nanowales.

Going by volume or mass is much more difficult to calculate as you would first have to agree on a definition for what the volume or mass of Wales is.

This idea of replacing traditional but not very friendly ways of delivering Linux desktop apps, such as DEB and RPM package management systems. [ ... ]

Pardon my French, but what the fuck is so "unfriendly" about installing DEBs?

RPM and DEB are an absolute $(GOD)-send to users, particularly those who've had to suffer under the scourge of Windows, where you have to update each application individually, each usually with its own bespoke updater (many of which will try and up-sell you on shit you don't need). And if it turns out said program needs an updated MSVC++ runtime? Nothing will warn you; you get to find that out The Hard Way when it crashes, and then you get to grovel through Microsoft's awful site looking for the latest MSVC++ runtime, and pray to the gods that abide that upgrading it doesn't break something else.

DEB just fucking works. Except for very rare hiccups (in my experience), upgrading a package magically upgrades all the dependent libraries along with it. If you get sick of a program and delete it, all the libraries it required get deleted as well (if nothing else also needs them), saving you disk space and reducing potential attack surface. And you drive the whole updating process from one place -- not one program at a time, not with special snowflake updaters the marketing department occasionally throws over the wall. A consistent, reliable management system for all the software on your machine.

DEB is awesome.

...a new, future-proofed engine "built from the ground up in Unity." [ ... ]

I don't think the speaker understands what "ground-up" means...
