(NYSE: SQSP ), the design-driven platform helping entrepreneurs build brands and businesses online, today announced that it has entered into a definitive...

fuzzzerd,

There are definitely still shareholders, they’re just private.

fuzzzerd,

I’m right there with you. It’s nice to know it’s been there if I needed it. I don’t find myself there very often anymore and when I do it’s often to compare official docs to other ways to approach something or because the getting started section of the official docs felt weird or wrong.

fuzzzerd,

Where the hell are you getting all that for a hundred bucks? I don’t even think you could get that kind of meal at Chili’s for that price.

What projects should I do to gain applied development skills?

I’m really enthusiastic about anything involved with Unix/Unix-like operating systems and their ecosystems (Mostly Linux and a bit of BSD variations). I also know a couple of programming languages including C, C++23 and OCaml. But other than doing a couple of tiny projects mainly to practice my programming skills in the...

fuzzzerd,

The reality is that you can’t. So accept that going in and realize your learning will be iterative.

You’ll be overwhelmed, that’s OK. Copy paste code until you get something working. Here’s the key. At that point stop, go back and understand the code you copied, why it works, and then try to rewrite it differently now that you know what worked.

Metaphor for writing. Start with a quote, then paraphrase it. Do that enough and you’ll start to be able to adlib and come up with your own solutions.

fuzzzerd,

Good luck!

fuzzzerd,

Absolutely. That’s a fantastic way to do the “copy/paste” I definitely think it helps when learning new language.

Petition to allow local announcers to call playoff games (www.change.org)

Petitions are annoying, but I’m hoping some of us will want to sign this one! The goal is simple: Have the National Hockey League create a solution where the local broadcast announcers of the home team handle the broadcast for every nationally-televised game, such as the Stanley Cup playoffs.

fuzzzerd,

How do you do that sync? I’ve tried in the past for different sports and never been able to line it up.

fuzzzerd,

Windows phone keyboard was leaps and bounds ahead of iOS and Android. I still miss that keyboard. Swiftkey on android just isn’t the same.

fuzzzerd,

Can you read data off a floppy disk today? How many others can? How many in fifty years can? The point is that left alone our physical media of today is not compatible in the future because you need specialty tools to read it.

Anyone can pickup and read a piece of paper or a rock with carvings in it. The point is that not only does the media need to survive, but the means to make use of it needs to survive as well.

That is the key issue with technology today. Someone needs to keep loving the data from floppy to zip drive to thumb drive to hard drive to whatever is next or it’s lost.

fuzzzerd,

Werfel noted that the IRS’ strategic plan over the next three tax years include a sharp increase in audits, although the agency reiterated it won’t boost its enforcement for people who earn less than $400,000 annually — which covers the bulk of U.S. taxpayers.

Saved you a click.

fuzzzerd,

That accurately describes the state we’re in today, it is that way (requiring trucks for a significant leg of the “last mile”) due to the incredible amount of subsidizing being done for road maintenance.

Imagine if we were subsidizing rail infrastructure for freight and passenger service.

fuzzzerd,

I would argue that devs getting 500k in stocks are at least decent at negotiating and other soft skills.

You don’t get that kind of compensation for just having tech chops.

fuzzzerd,

it’s not like it will auto-delete.

You’re probably right it won’t, but it definitely could be done by Apple and Google.

fuzzzerd,

Options and competition are good things for consumers. Not sure why you would be against that.

fuzzzerd,

Some might even call that invention a train.

fuzzzerd,

They aren’t cheap, but I have been very happy with pens from tactile turn. They have a newer aluminum line that are a bit more affordable, and they all take regular pen refills.

I have a few cartridge pens which are nice but the tactile turn pens are a better balance of convenience for me.

fuzzzerd,

There are enough people working this problem that we can realistically aim for both and capitalize on incremental improvements in each area along the way.

fuzzzerd, (edited )

I fail to see the distinction:

story >> book (paper) == own

story >> movie (DVD) != own

That doesn’t add up. I realize this post is more about streaming than physical discs, but the point remains.

Why is brawl allowed in NHL? (piped.video)

I’m not a hockey fan, so don’t know anything about the players or even team names. But i just saw i trending. Maybe these 2 teams are rivals, but im wondering why the refs are allowing them to fight. Unlike the NBA, refs always get into the middle to stop any punches but NHL is different. Its not cool for kids to watch, but...

fuzzzerd,

It definitely doesn’t look like the same game I grew up watching. That’s for sure.

fuzzzerd,

True, but then you get that fantastic four on four play which is wildly more hectic and entertaining.

fuzzzerd,

Proton drive has windows and Android clients that work well. I’d love a Linux client for drive and for them to fix the photo upload issue on android, but eventually those things will come.

Court Bans Use of 'AI-Enhanced' Video Evidence Because That's Not How AI Works (gizmodo.com)

A judge in Washington state has blocked video evidence that’s been “AI-enhanced” from being submitted in a triple murder trial. And that’s a good thing, given the fact that too many people seem to think applying an AI filter can give them access to secret visual data.

fuzzzerd,

This is what I was wondering about as I read the article. At what point does the post processing on the device become too much?

fuzzzerd,

What would you classify google or apple portrait mode as? It’s definitely doing something. We can probably agree, at this point it’s still a reasonably enhanced version of what was really there, but maybe a Snapchat filter that turns you into a dog is obviously too much. The question is where in that spectrum is the AI or algorithm too much?

fuzzzerd,

That’s no worse than you started. The fact remains nobody is going to get 100% coverage of their contact list on the fediverse without Meta, so trading a Facebook account for a threads account is no different, and it ignores the benefits of that time when you maybe able to live without either.
