This looks kind of cool. It’s written in Go. License is LGPL3, kind of a weird choice, but whatever. I’m not crazy about the name “Sriracha” but I guess you’ve got call it something. I might give it a try. I haven’t understood why so many forums are written in PHP.

I’m happy with say 3 hz, fast enough to not be too annoying when flipping pages while reading. It’s fine to not be good for video. What I really want is a 16 inch or so e-reader though.

That is a video of a much smaller monitor. It does show reasonably responsive refresh. Do you have one of the 25.3 inch monitor described in the article?

What is the refresh time? They carefully avoid mentioning that. There’s a comparable Pimoroni monitor whose refresh takes 14 seconds so I’d call it a static display rather than a computer monitor.

Be careful what you ask for :(.

Maybe “The Hacker Ethic” by Pekka Himanen, though I looked at it and didn’t see much new.

Card payment terminals use the network for card authorization, but depending on the merchant agreement with its card processor, authorization (at least back in my day) was typically only needed for charges above say $50. Otherwise the bank would pay up and eat the loss if something went wrong.

If you’re old enough to remember cards with raised numbers on them, those existed so the merchant could make an imprint of the card number on carbonless paper using a hand operated gizmo with rollers and carbonless forms. That used no electricity at all. You’d sign the piece of paper and the merchant would turn it in to the bank. That was simply how credit cards worked for quite a long time. Electronic terminals, and especially portable electronic terminals came along later.

Contract workers for Meta, TikTok, Google, and more are forming a global group to fight for better working conditions.

Try Reddit also, the moderators there don’t even get paid :(.

p2p solution for opensource projects

That’s called Git and it’s been around longer than GitHub. There is also Usenet which by now is mostly dead. People fell for centralized alternatives. Oops :)

Call the sender and ask what to do.

The difficult part is not the software or even the hosting. It’s more about the network effects and the ability to let users monetize uploads, which in turn creates vast potential for abuse and fraud, which in turn has to be addressed by burning stupendous resources. At a certain point people stop wanting exposure or “making a difference” for their own sake, and instead want to get paid in genuine coin of the realm.

This is a pretty crappy article, and the “35mm” in the title seems to refer to the lens angle being about the same as it is on most other phone cameras (i.e. moderate wideangle, comparable to 35mm focal length on old 35mm full frame film cameras). I had to read most of the article to understand that they were talking about a conventional phone camera with some accessories, and not a film camera built into a phone or anything like that.

See a dermatologist, there are multiple causes of acne and you may need to treat it with diet or medication.

Wow, so maybe the universe really is centered around me after all. Take that, 1st grade teacher! j/k.

The main value of youtube for many of us is the enormous video collection, which is impractical for anyone else to duplicate. Need to fix an old washing machine (I did, recently)? Type in the make and model and there’s an instructional vid. It’s unfortunate that Google has exclusive control over such a resource, but here we are.

Article is from 2018. Someone must have pasted the url from hacker news where the same story was dug up recently.

I guess 4chan is still down?

They’ve done that on and off for ages, and the ones being offered with Ubuntu here are mostly pretty expensive or else not so interesting. I’ve been content to buy older Thinkpads and self-install Debian for my past several laptops. I was somewhat tempted by recent Ideapad Yogas but resisted, and since then, prices have gone up, whether due to tariffs or whatever else.

Actual difficult instances of TSP are pretty rare, and for something like Uber Eats, it’s fine if your route is 2% worse than the mathematical optimum. Traffic fluctuations probably matter more than having the shortest route.

There are many good heuristics for TSP that might not give you the optimal solution, but that will generally come pretty close. The Wikipedia article probably describes some of these.
