I hope there's a growth in Invidious usage.

Social media is bad for adults. This has nothing to do with children what so ever. It has to do with pushing for more identity verification to permanent identified each and every person with every single online request they make. It's the telescreen spying on everything you do. Anyone who thinks this has anything to do with protecting youths is not realizing what's really in play here.

The trouble is its cant be handled by parents , kids are too savvy. And no, I dont know what the solution is either other than physically depriving them of their phones because this ban will work as well as it has in australia , ie not very well.

I wish that cancerous blight on humanity could have been avoided, but in the early days people did run Minecraft servers locally and even dead games like Star Wars Galaxies have gotten reverse engineered implementations:

So I guess that evil would be unavoidable.

Roku quality has been circling the drain for years. I only keep it as a front end for my Jellyfin media server.

I live in London. Can you tell me where I apparently canâ(TM)t go?

Half of our recent candidates can't even get past the most basic phone screening.

"What is the difference between HTTP and HTTPS?"

"Well , I know HTTPS is the secure version."

"Well, what makes it secure?"

There is so much opportunity is this fucking basic technology question to show off what you know. You can talk about CAs, (browser and system), how websites identify themselves, how people use to pay a lot of certs but now we have LetsEncrypt, how even some of the paid cert providers now use ACME challenges LetsEncrypted pioneered, man-in-the-middle, certification revocation ... or hell, just fucking say it initiates a public/private key exchange! I'd even take "Secure Socket Layer," (even though it's TLS now) as a fucking bare minimum for our mid-level opening.

Zero clue what-so-ever. Some people can explain SQL-injection, but barely. If you're not out west, the talent pool is pretty bad out there.

> tell him

Tell It. It's an algorithm that creates predictive text that's sometimes useful. Not him, it.

IAI hasn't build a fighter since the Dagger/Nesher that Israel sold to Argentina after the IAF was done with them. They tried to build an F-16 competitor, the Lavi, but stopped when the US refused to allow any funding to be used towards its development.

Israel likely has the technical capability to build a modern fighter. Whether it has the money to do so on its own is an entirely other matter.

I was thinking Steve Urkel. Man .. that guy's character is really creepy in retrospect. He kept obsessing over, and was even rewarded for obsessing over, a girl who was not remotely interested in him.

From the summary:

A former Google worker (laid off more than a year ago) says he's still job hunting, according to the article, and "he's learned it's not enough to just apply in this competitive market. Workers really need to network and leverage their connections to get seen by hiring managers and stand out."

Thank you, Captain Obvious. There's bots screening resumes and bots submitting them. If you want to have any chance at all of getting noticed, you absolutely need to leverage your network. Simply applying online is a fool's errand.

I'm going to work a few more years and then "retire" early (from technology work) and do something else. I have zero interest in participating in this jump into the abyss of AI mindset.

There are PLENTY of other things to do with your time that don't involve living in a closet, paying high taxes, and dealing with all the social ills of the Bay Area. There are other types of work and other areas of the country that are growing. Widen your net.

We don't buy video games or mobile devices for our middle school aged children. They get to study, read, exercise and participate in athletics. That seems to be working out for them as they are both at the top of their class and in the high 90'th percentile for pretty much every topic in standardized tests. I see other parents using phones/tablets/gaming devices as a mock baby sitter and/or letting their kids doom scroll on youtube for hours at a time. Those kids are not doing very well and and many seem to have the attention span of a goldfish. Seems like a lot of parents are raising a generation of baristas.

"What do you think would happen to European economies without all these migrants who are there illegally?"

Those illegals contribute nothing unless you're stupid enough to believe the black market adds to GDP, so the economies would do just fine, in fact probably somewhat better as there'd be less crime.

" Until it does, you are making my point for me."

So because the US is wavering now NATO had no influence on keeping the peace for the last 70 years? Wow, just wow, you really have drunk the Brussels kool aid.

This just seems so short-sighted. You spend a bunch of money familiarising with the code knowing that youâ(TM)ll be forced to do it again after youâ(TM)ve forgotten it. This is an opportunity to eliminate an unnecessary upgrade step. Each step of course will risk new and different regressions. Never mind that people donâ(TM)t find working on old code and tooling very motivational.

Iâ(TM)m not so au fait with the Java world anymore, but in C++ land, there are some serious benefits from using new compilers in terms of code speed and better language features and compiler errors/warning they help you write better code. Every time we upgrade, the compiler finds something in our 25 year old code base that shouldnâ(TM)t have worked!

This goes back really far with Blizzard. I think it was 2000 or 2001 when they sent a cease and desist to an open source project called bnetd. It let you host your own Warcraft I/II and Starcraft games. It could also allow people to use pirated betas of Warcraft 3 in multiplayer mode on a local network. Back in this year, Counterstrike was still a mod and everyone hosted games locally using the free Half-Life server Valve provided (that could run on Linux).

Gamers should have turned away from games that didn't allow local hosting, but not enough did and here we are.
