Intercooler is all about getting HTML into your DOM that you get from AJAX requests without actually writing any Javascript. Alpine is more about Interactivity within the current page, without doing a request first. It keeps the state in a data object.

Of course you can do similar things as you would do in Intercooler, but it would be explicit in the Javascript part. See this example they give for prefetching dropdown content from the server

>In 1970, the family structures of the rich and poor did not differ that greatly. Now there is a chasm between them. As of 2005, 85 percent of children born to upper-middle-class families were living with both biological parents when the mom was 40. Among working-class families, only 30 percent were. According to a 2012 report from the National Center for Health Statistics, college-educated women ages 22 to 44 have a 78 percent chance of having their first marriage last at least 20 years. Women in the same age range with a high-school degree or less have only about a 40 percent chance. Among Americans ages 18 to 55, only 26 percent of the poor and 39 percent of the working class are currently married. In her book Generation Unbound, Isabel Sawhill, an economist at the Brookings Institution, cited research indicating that differences in family structure have “increased income inequality by 25 percent.” If the U.S. returned to the marriage rates of 1970, child poverty would be 20 percent lower. As Andrew Cherlin, a sociologist at Johns Hopkins University, once put it, “It is the privileged Americans who are marrying, and marrying helps them stay privileged.”

I think this paragraph has a lot to say about how marital cooperation helps wealth creation. I've seen statistics (a long time ago) that a married couple only consumes 1.4 times the living expenses of a single person. The rest can go in the bank or into a higher standard of living. This also has the economic benefit of diversification, where the family can still make ends meet if one income is lost.

"Marriage inequality" does not seem to be a category of inequality that can ever be addressed through government led redistributive efforts.
This is an interesting read but the article cites no sources for its claims. Even the claims that refer to linguistics debunking other theories have no citation.

It also makes some suspect statements. I live in New England and saying that it is hard to find someone who does not have an accent that links them to some New England locale is just silly. Then there is the claim that the “general American” accent heard on TV and radio is confined to a small region in the Midwest. That just sounds weird on its face. I imagine NPR must recruit reporters exclusively from this region because it would be difficult to find the accent anywhere else, according to the article. Having lived in the Deep South, far West, rural Midwest and urban East coast I have found that regional accents are largely overblown by articles like this.
> Microsoft doing shady stuff again.

Seems anything but shady? On the start menu in full sight and just explicitly suggesting their browser over Firefox. Doesn't even claim anything about either browser, just suggests theirs! Seems as honest and upfront as any advertising could be? 'Try our band of coffee' effectively.
Yes, still using Firefox because Edge is complete shite. Thank you for asking. And now please remove yourself, unnecessary and unhelpful start menu.
Yes, but can we agree that one company owning thousands of domains with a "buy this domain for $XXXX" homepages crosses any line that we would draw?

The domain squatting problem is so bad, that even just solving the most egregious cases would be a big improvement.

You can try that, but it produces the wrong answer: "where" is still zero-based. You would also need 1+ i.e.

q)1+where mod[;2] sum 0=(1_til 500) mod/: til 500
1 4 9 16 25 36 49 64 81 100 121 144 169 196 225 256 289 324 361 400 441 484

...but this is not a huge bother for me: 0 mod 0 is 0N which doesn't equal zero, and I think the extra 1_ or 1+ distracts somewhat from the point I'm trying to make.
Original GitHub data is for 2012 - 2020. Rest of the data is extrapolated using linear regression. Programming languages move slowly, so my future prediction has a decent chance of holding.

I will try predicting further into the future via introducing seasonality and using a more complex extrapolation formula. We'll see how it goes then.

How the Rise of Passive Investing May Be Creating Distortions in the Market
This, and every other screw-up in the same vein, is why those of us old enough to remember the Halloween documents don't buy the whole "new Microsoft" thing.

Want to get me to try Edge? Great -- instead of a passive-aggressive ad, try telling me how it's better than Firefox and why I'd like to use it instead. What will it get me? Better privacy? Better performance? Better development tools?

Cynically, it's amazing that Microsoft collects so much personal data about each user -- and yet its "target" ads are hopelessly generic and tasteless.

Also, leaving the matter of whether or not I should even be seeing ads after I paid for the damn thing aside, the company that brought us Internet Explorer is the last one that should crack jokes about other browsers, even if they're good (which this one isn't).
I wouldn’t say no one is seeding/leeching those things. You can find plenty of remuxes on rarbg (a public tracker), and they’re well seeded a few days after release (after the initial influx of leechers are gone) up to a few months later (before people start deleting it from their machines).

Hello World vs. Hello, World
VR streaming over local 1gbit ethernet is certainly possible -- I use Virtual Desktop to stream PCVR to my Quest and I wouldn't say the latency is noticeable, at least for me anyway. It's not really playable on 2.4GHz (so, max ~300mbit/s) wireless but is nearly flawless on 5GHz (max ~840mbit/s ?). Although the stream itself maxes out at 50mbps. Reported stream latency is about 15ms.

FPS games like Skyrim work great, even latency-sensitive games which require quick reactions like Thumper do pretty well. I get lower latency / better image quality using Quest+VD than I do a standard 1080p stream on my Steam Link.....

I think that the VR video stream is already a 180 degree stereoscopic format helps with the latency; you're only ever looking at a subset of the stream so when you move your head around it's the same latency as local VR.

Only noticeable thing is if you move your head really quickly to over your shoulders it can take a few milliseconds for the footage to appear.

I thought Chomsky's quote was interesting.

"Take the most advanced case: Mondragon. It’s worker owned, it’s not worker managed, although the management does come from the workforce often, but it’s in a market system and they still exploit workers in South America, and they do things that are harmful to the society as a whole and they have no choice. If you’re in a system where you must make profit in order to survive, you're compelled to ignore negative externalities, effects on others."

Israeli tech is generally good. The problem is only a very small subset of companies or state institutions use this tech. Political parties are not part of this subset, and more likely than not the application developer that got this "project" is somehow connected to the party. This is not a jab at Israeli democracy which I believe to be quite strong, just the way politics work (See the democratic primaries in Iowa for example).

Many sorting algorithms that work on uniform distributions do exist and they often use plain old insertion sort under the hood. As I see it, Flashsort only exploits that by knowing the CDF beforehand, you can turn the data piecewise linear and then use more classic methods on that.
One of the many reasons why I hate Windows 10. Just get out of my way and let me use my computer how I want.

I'd put on my "smug Linux user" hat but to be honest my distro of choice (Ubuntu) has Amazon search integrated by default. The only saving grace is that it can be easily, completely, and permanently removed with just a couple of commands.

Seriously considering a Macbook for my next computer at this point.
> How do normal people (who use Windows) think that this is ok?

I have several hypotheses:

- Some people don't even think about it. Many probably don't see there is a political aspect to browsers. What harm is there in suggesting something? It's not even clear that it is an ad, they are not going to buy Edge, it's free. What's more, they may only know one OS and take whatever they are provided with as is without any critical look. They probably trust their computer (yeah, and this is scary, but since the system shows this ad, some will probably take it as good advice to follow, and Microsoft is very wrong doing this because they know it).

- Some are accustomed to ads. Some may even ignore them without knowing. Some people probably notice but don't care. By the way, why shouldn't a computer display ads in its UI if you are not against the idea of ads? (I personnally hate ads)

- Some probably think it's not okay, but possibly forget about it and get on with their lives anyway, and/or don't tell anybody about it, so we would not even know whether people think it is ok.
A good, enjoyable read. It's informative while remaining concise, a quality mainstream media articles sorely lack - if this had been a newspaper article, it would've been nearly twice as long, with unnecessary quotes from people with long titles (which are watered down enough to be basically content-free), and still managed to be somewhat less informative than this one is. Reminds me of old (and possibly current) "How Stuff Works" articles.

It's advertising. Smack bang in the middle of the OS you paid hundreds for.
chuckle, Classic case of the documentation doesn't match the "code".
There’s a theory that all written artifacts are at most 1000 years old. Christian dates (in Roman) got M (1000) infront of all dates and Jewish an V (5000).
So we got 2000 years and 6000 claimed history.

Having written the above it appeared to me this could be an ironic illustration of tribal knowledge vs technical documentation issue. Knowing when something happened and reading about it are two separate things.
It's certainly shady, given that they own both the product they're advertising and the medium they're advertising it through.

I don't expect that I'll be able to get them to give me a top spot for an ad saying "Concerned about Microsoft's tracking policy? Mozilla Firefox is here", or "Still using Edge? Why not just get the original -- Google Chrome is here'.

They actually do have an API: https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api/ - you don't have direct access to the music streams, but you do have access to all the metadata, the various metrics used to generate "radio" etc and the capability to remotely control a Spotify player; so it's perfectly possible to write your own UI / playlist manager / whatever and just treat their player as a dumb part of your audio playback stack.
Something similar happened to me about ... 10 years ago. This was back when everyone was going on and on about how good Amazon's customer support was, but what I noticed is that they don't actually listen to the customer, they're just robots that give you money for talking to them. The customer only comes out ahead if their Internet connection is free and their time is worth $0/hour. But people love it!

In my case, I ordered road bike tires. They shipped me mountain bike tires from the same manufacturer. This was hilarious because the road tires were "folding" (they have a kevlar bead instead of a wire bead, so don't take up as much space in shipping) but the mountain bike tires weren't, so the set of 2 tires arrived in a refrigerator-sized box. I opened a ticket with Amazon. "Oh sorry, we'll send you the right item." Same mountain bike tires arrive. "Oh sorry, we'll refund you for both." This was about 2 weeks later and I checked the product page... everyone in the reviews section was complaining, but Amazon took no action to fix it. Like the author of this Twitter thread, I finally ventured to a bike shop that I heard was really good, and they were really good. I never bought another bike part from Amazon.

If I were Amazon, I would be super alarmed that people "in the field" don't have the ability to talk to people in the back office. Every one of these incidents should be a ticket for the supply chain management team. But instead the customer service team looks at CSAT scores, the warehouse team probably looks at "average time to pack an item", and the investors look for growth. Nobody cares if the business runs well, just that each individual department set an arbitrary metric and met it. If you want to eat a big company's lunch, this is how you do it: look at the business as a whole, not as a million parts that don't work together.

Are you talking about the old Edge or the new one? The new Blink-based Edge is pretty good, and doesn't have the lingering incompatibilities of old EdgeHTML.
The wording "still using Firefox?" does suggest subtly that Firefox is outdated or passé... so no, their wording is problematic, as also is the placement of the ad. It is also unnecessary given Firefox's rather small market share and the fact that Edge will be bundled with Windows which means that almost everyone who doesn't use Chrome will likely use Edge.
I get people don't want it. But it's the least 'shady' advertising I've seen in years!

One dumbphone with 5-7 days battery life that does only SMS and Voice calls.

One smartphone that I use for browsing, google authenticator, twitter and some apps and occasionally as a hotspot.

Usually the battery dies in either of those, not in both at the same time. This means that when my phone dies I'm left with either only SMS and Voice or only Internet.

Both phones have dual SIM support so I can keep swapping the prepaid SIMs when needed.

This could work, as long as you trust the ones you file your bug report to. This isn't always the case for white hat hackers who interact with big corporations for example. You also don't always want to disclose the actual vulnerability beforehand to everyone either, to give them time to fix them.

If these things don't hold then you still need to find a trusted way to publish your hash or encrypted message so you can get your timestamp.
Original pronunciation Shakespeare is a good example of this. It's performed with the sorts of accents people had in 16th/17th century England.

To my ear as an English person, it sounds like a Westcountry accent, an example of an English accent which is still rhotic today. But other people might perceive it as being slightly American or Irish sounding.
So people used to think there was only one standard-issue type of brain, and that everyone's brain operated in the same way and could learn the same things equally well, and a single optimal technique could be developed and taught once to everyone. The Taylorist dream, among others. But left handed people kept stubbornly existing, despite the beatings. And then education discovered that dyslexia and dyspraxia are things. And the not-well-understood category of "non-neurotypical" people currently classified into conditions like autism, Aspergers, ADHD etc. Eventually we're going to learn to fit the technique to the human rather than the other way round. People over processes, and all that.

This may explain why people have strong-but-wildly-different opinions about which programming languages are "intuitive". Maybe some are just ""left-handed"", in a very non-literal sense.
