Usually they pay graphic designers to extort others.

Aktually, for most Internet services in China today, one already needs a phone number to create an account, which is linked back to the national ID. So, there isn’t any anonymity to begin with.

They’re pretty happy to comply with censorship in China though.

Linux Foundation (of which Linus is an employee) is an US entity. RISC-V International foresaw this and chose to incorporate in Switzerland.

An update:

If your company is on the U.S. OFAC SDN lists, subject to an OFAC sanctions program, or owned/controlled by a company on the list, our ability to collaborate with you will be subject to restrictions, and you cannot be in the MAINTAINERS file.

The interviews revealed that data scientists sometimes get distracted by the latest developments in AI and implement them in their projects without looking at the value that it will deliver.

At least part of this is due to resume-oriented development.

The link to the study is just a “Paid Search Ad” page. Ouch for the professionalism of Forbes.

They tried to build this abomination in London and it got shot down.

Basically it’s two people saying “Is it falling? Wouldn’t it explode? I’m recording it. Fuck the rocket is falling!”

From 5-8 seconds, the person seems to be saying争着争着中火大了, which doesn’t mean anything to me, but it may be something of the local dialect.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

NERV is a private service, which rebroadcasts government emergency warnings with better representations.

User being phished doesn’t leak the company’s database though.

We are, in fact, the gate.

Most likely a request now goes to the “new infrastructure”, where only new messages are replicated. Old data is still stored on the old infrastructure, which some old frontends are still using. After the migration is over, the old chat might no longer be accessible.

So there’s hope for remedy to their tech incompetence, which is also their tech incompetence…

It appears some users may be able to download all their messages, including ones prior to 2023, by making a data request at https://www.reddit.com/settings/data-request(opens in a new tab) while logged into their Reddit account. […]

In addition, using the old version of Reddit which is still accessible at https://old.reddit.com(opens in a new tab), users may still be able to access inbox messages prior to 2023.

However, some Redditors have reported that even the data request option did not retrieve their old chats or some messages were missing.

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.
