I bought a Thinkpad Yoga X1 in 2016 and would buy a successor like the proposed one anytime again.

Even the display improved compared to older Lenovo machines.
Inside Webmaster Tools is “Fetch” tool. It allows you to submit any page to Google. You can then also have Google index the page. When you fetch a time stamp is recorded and a full HTML copy of the page too.

I am not sure if Google uses this to prove which is the original copy. Most website owners don’t know this exists. So it’s hard to use it as proof of the original, because the original creator may not even use the tool.

However, if everyone started to submit key articles, then it theoretically could compare the two fetches and decide which is earlier. It could be automated too with sitemap uploads as you post content.

Moreover, you could then use this as evidence in a DMCA take down that your copy is the earliest. Anyways, there are ways to prove earliest content.

I'm middle aged. I think I'm much more understanding of what others are going through than I was in my 20s. And I often have a sense of perspective about situations that may seem impossible to someone who's going through it for the first time, which can be useful.

What I find hard to tolerate are long-term toxic relationships that will require enormous effort and a long time to correct. I have enough of my own to deal with, I don't want to be drawn into yours, especially if you're unwilling to listen or take positive action to change.

So for me, at least, getting older means I'm more likely to avoid getting to know you if friendship with you comes with hearing about a lot of pre-existing drama that you are willing to tolerate, or perhaps even instigate. If you want help, I'll help, but I'm not out to save the world, and I don't need any mayhem in my life.
Making it a better sentence is possible, making the system itself exist in the real world much less so. You can't make systems like this as described due to the reality that all decentralized systems face; the sybil problem, and by extension all the problems that occur when people try to solve that with a web of trust.

I would emphasize "any other parties": one of the goals is that if I or if someone who is rich, famous or influential were to be defendants in court cases with similar facts, we would receive similar judgements - who the defendant is shouldn't matter, and paying attention to relevant precedents helps ensure that.

I would also mention that the internet tends to misuse precedent in the same way, well, the internet misuses logical fallacies. Finding a precedent you think is applicable to a court case doesn't mean the verdict is decided. Both sides, assuming they have competent lawyers, will submit numerous precedents they believe favors their side, after all. It is up to the courts to decide whether the precedents are applicable and whether to apply the precedent in any give case; precedents inform the court, they do not replace it.

This has a lot of edge cases.

Currently, `self` is a strong convention, but not more than that. You can write code like this:

class Foo:
def __init__(this, x, y=3):
this.x = x
this.y = y

Would a self-optional version of Python be able to recognize that it shouldn't make that method implicit? Breaking that code may or may not be acceptable, I don't know how common it is.

Would it still be possible to access methods on classes as if they're ordinary functions? e.g.

>>> str.casefold('Foo')
'foo'

It's occasionally useful for higher-order functions like map, or to call methods from different classes.

Would accessing methods like that return a special unbound method with an extra argument?

What's the behavior of functions that were defined elsewhere and attached to the class later?

def double(n):
return 2*n

class MySpecialInt(int):
double = double

>>> MySpecialInt(10).double()
20

Do they behave the old way? Do they behave the new way? Does it depend on their own parameter list?

How are decorators handled?

def printme(func):
def inner(*args, **kwargs):
print(args, kwargs)
return func(*args, **kwargs)
return inner

class Foo:
@printme
def bar(x, y):
...

Can `inner` access self? Can `bar/func` access self? `printme` certainly can't access self, because it doesn't exist yet when it runs.

It might be possible to make this change, but not without breaking compatibility. Argumentless super() adds behavior to something that used to throw a TypeError, which is much easier.

As a sidenote, I think super() is much more magical than string interpolation: f"foo: {foo!r}" can be rewritten to "foo: {!r}".format(foo), but rewriting super() requires looking at the surrounding code.
That's funny, I first thought about paper. http://www.bitsavers.org/ is a famous archive of vintage computing software (and hardware documentation), and it is just a large folder of PDFs. In contrast, when I browse https://archive.softwareheritage.org/ it feels like a combination of Github and the Wayback machine (https://archive.org/).

How do they intend to archive the generated documentation of software? How do they intend to keep this stuff running? How do I even "run" a generic code for something in an arbitrary github archive? Just storing and presenting git repositories nicely doesn't sound like a breakthrought, especially if it is a clone of github, i.e.

We should talk about complexity and complication here.

Complex is the opposite of simple. If there is 50 equal elements communicating between them there we have a complex system.

This is important because a thousand ants behave totally different from an isolated ant.

You just can't study an ant and expect to understand the nest or anthill.

Psychologists try to make it all the time and it is totally wrong: They studied isolated rats in order to understand addiction to drugs and they did not understood that they are social animals which travel 20miles-30kms each day.

So they jailed the rats in a cage, because it was easier to study them that way, and extracted conclusions that were totally bogus for human beings. Those conclusions were the basis for the US war on drugs.

Here they do the same. They make a very simple experiment, and extract conclusions about the whole system. In Africa, when humans whatever,more fiction than science.

It is ok to make fiction and speculation, but you should always differentiate what we really know with high degree of confidence from what we do not.
I'd say the part of marketing is lower than luck, since you'd have to be very lucky to have your game shown by a big streamer/youtuber.
I think the way the internet has changed in the last decade has contributed to loneliness significantly.

10-15 years ago, the internet was full of small independent communities: message boards, IRC channels, chat rooms of all kinds, etc. You could really "hang out" with the same people and get to know them.

But something killed pretty much all of them. Instead we have centralized "social media" that is at best all about narcissism and self-promotion. Sites like Reddit where there is too many people and everyone converges to a single "hive-mind", you cannot have someone reply to an interesting post you made years ago, and that really take the humanity out of the whole thing (like Facebook or Tinder or what not). Even HN is problematic in this regard - it is good for the purpose it exists for, but you cannot have any sort of casual threads or discussions just to get any sort of rapport within the community.

Even messengers have somehow become worse in this regard. Yahoo/MSN messengers, ICQ etc. were somehow all about having connections with online friends. Maybe it is just me, but there just doesn't seem to be an option that works for this as well nowadays. Or at least people do not seem to use the existing options in the same way.

I can also recommend Modernist Cuisine, which is a sort of text book version of On Food and Cooking. Though it has a lot of industrial equipment and ingredients that aren't applicable to home cooks, it has excellent photos and diagrams that illustrate the cooking process from a biological and physical level. (Modernist Cuisine at Home isn't nearly as comprehensive, though it shirks a lot of the weird/expensive equipment and additives.)

Also Modernist Bread for breads is fantastic and comprehensive.

Your app gets me figuring that it would be nice for a dictionary app to have a feature that, after you look up some word a second time (indicating it's not a rare one), adds it to the "to memorize" list and trigger the notification mechanism you wrote.

Also wondering if support for memorizing equations would be straightforward.
Simpler chips also means smaller dies, which, for a new process also means better yield even at a higher defect rate. Not only chipsets could benefit from it, but also smaller processors such as the Atom lineup.

I read an enormous amount on mixing/mastering and was still rubbish. It's hard to write about perception of sound.

I would recommend instead finding a well reputed mixing/mastering engineer who offers lessons and pay for some. Bring them your best mix (in the DAW on your laptop) ask them where it is wrong and how to improve it. Shouldn't take more than a couple of hours. In my case this cost around £100 (http://oood.net/mastering/about-stooodio-mastering) and helped enormously. My friends now think I'm great at "mastering" by which they mean mixing, I have nothing even approaching mastering engineer ears & I suspect Colin still wouldn't think much of my mixes either but that's why I'll happily pay him to master them if I ever have time for music again :)

I know there are online practical courses these days, in theory these could be better than a book as they would have audio/interactive examples. No idea if they actually are any good though.
I recommend getting two.

Introduction to algorithms, Cormen/Leiserson/Rivest/Stein. Rigorous, detailed, thorough. Dry, technical, intimidating.

The algorithm design manual, Skiena. Friendly, informal, heuristic, insightful. Sloppy, handwavy, gappily incomplete.

They fill one another's gaps very nicely.

[EDITED to add:] I haven't read Kleinberg & Tardos, recommended above; it sounds like it may fill much the same niche as Skiena.

We were not “ideological” in the standard political-religion sense (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ideology). If you are arguing that the Mozilla Foundation, swimming in NFP/NGO seas, has become ideological since founding and spinout from AOL, I agree. But it was not always or necessarily so.

FYI the only “Mozilla” people who spoke against me while I was CEO did not work for me; they were in the Foundation.
There's different framing needed here though - hobbyist developers aren't really buying "tools" in the same way a studio is. You need to think of it as a B2C sale more than a B2B one - you're selling something that will enable them to realise their dreams, not cut 5% off their build times.

When you're committing 1000 hours of your free time to building a game from scratch, spending 30-40 building your own (hacky, not that great) animation pipeline for the learning experience is worth it over a £90 plugin. You don't really win this on cost/benefit over and above getting someone excited by the possibilities of your tool. Worth checking out Buildbox[0] for example.

Obviously studios are a different beast and it make sense for parts of their workflows to be custom. If you want to get a start in the goldrush, sell pickaxes, not JCBs.

I don‘t like alarmism. Most of it is simply proven wrong in the long term. People are good at adapting most of the time. For example, I got myself air conditioning in a country famous for skiing. People in poor countries will probably suffer much more, but they need to tackle their population growth issues anyway. In essence, there are life-changing problems affecting us every day (who would have thought 50 years ago that we‘d need barriers againt car attacks at all major public events?), don‘t obsess over one thing like some sort of religious freak („the end is nigh...“).
> Making the games you want to play is actually not great advice. You need to find a niche and hit it hard.

I'd say you need both: you need to want to do a game you'd want to play, because you'd have an easier time recognizing if you're doing something that would appeal to at least one person. And if it's in a niche, you'll have a better chance to get coverage and buyers. But if you just try to hit a niche hard without knowing what makes the games in that niche good, you'll have a hard time making something that'll interest players.
Interesting. I was just talking with a friend about that this weekend. He's working on another experiment, the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) which is investigating this question, among others. They're shooting a neutrino beam from Fermi Lab in Chicago to a detector deep underground in South Dakota, allowing them to measure several characteristic parameters of these neutrinos. One of them, delta_cp, will give insight into the question of the matter-antimatter imbalance[0].

As just a lowly software developer, it's quite amazing to me to see what cutting edge physicists are up to. The engineering scale of these experiments is mind boggling.
