I think you'd have significant regulatory back-pressure preventing Microsoft, Google, and Apple - between them they effectively own all the operating systems and app stores of the world. There's a real problem here that will prevent competition from outside (QCOM & Samsung are two massive ARM chip designers for mobile, there's a bunch more in the embedded space). It's important to look at the risks and not just the upsides as there are both.

Forgiveness can be succinctly summed up as putting something behind you by deciding that it's over and you're moving on. I think the key phrase you perhaps missed in GPs comment is:

"...that you have in large measure conscious choice over the way you feel and can will it differently"

They then contrast this with gathering victimhood cards (my favorite example of this is the scene from Scrubs where Turk and Elliot are arguing over whether black doctors or women doctors have it harder, then both agree that their black woman colleague has it worst of all), which I think you would agree is the opposite of forgiveness.

I'm not sure I agree with their tone about victimhood cards, as another way to phrase that would be that some people have traumas they haven't fully processed. Sounds different when cast in that light.
I agree with this assessment. We moved from FL (0% income tax, 1.5% property tax) to CA (9% for us income tax, 1.05% property tax) and the quality of the infrastructure is at best on par. Which was surprising. Our SALT taxes went up 5x and the services are similar quality.
This is why I keep telling people that their recommendations that EVERYTHING should be on serverless or k8s or whatever, is appropriate.

If you are not 100% perfect in your opsec as a wannabe hacker you will get caught. It takes just one small slip-up.
I agree prompts make a huge difference in how well GPT-3 performs. The relevant questions are:

1) how easy is it to replicate best practices? If it's simple reformatting and everyone knows how to do it, then the playing field levels off quickly.

2) what does the improvement curve look like - how far can you push performance through better prompts before you get diminishing marginal returns?

It's too early to tell and we'll need more samples to figure this out.

Interestingly, forgiveness plays a part of some systems of law (particularly in the Middle East). If, for example, you accidentally kill a person while driving drunk, you have the opportunity to publicly apologize, and the family of the deceased are offered an opportunity to publicly forgive (though from my understanding, they're under no obligation or pressure to do this, and I believe in an instance this egregious, it would be quite rare). If you're forgiven, the sentencing is less harsh than it would be otherwise.
What do you use now?

The Dactyl was partly modeled after the Kinesis. It has the key wells and a curved thumb cluster. Still, the thumb cluster isn't perfect and its hard for most people to reach all of the keys.

However, the Dactyl Manuform keeps the amazing key wells and has a completely redesigned thumb cluster.

Its also designed to be easily customizable. There are versions with 2,3,4,5 and 6 keys per thumb cluster. Unlike the original Dactyl, the Ergodox, and the Kinesis, I have no problems at all using all 6 keys per thumb cluster on the Dactyl Manuform. IMO its the best split keyboard unless you want to go for something smaller and use layers to gain access to more keys.

Unfortunately if you can't 3d print the case yourself and hand-wire it, its pretty expensive to acquire one. I just built mine recently and it almost instantly replaced my Ergodox-EZ as my favorite keyboard.
The data is accessed through an interface, a set of functions associated with the data structure. You don't dig through internal memory structures to get the data - you call these functions. That is what "hidden" means in this context.

A better example might be a linked list. With information hiding, you manipulate the list through functions like push and pop. Without information hiding, you manipulate the pointers directly. For instance, I've worked on C codebases where linked list manipulation isn't even hidden behind macros.
It's a tough spot to be in. AMD and Intel split the largest chunk of the cake because their products are cheap, so they make money in volume.

The only reason nvidia has 20% of the GPU market at all is because their products are better, but without volume, there is very little separating you from losing the market.

If NVIDIA slips over AMD and Intel perf wise during one generation, the competition will have cheaper and better products, so it's pretty much game over.
Apple Watch but tied around your throat?
I got started on Freenode IRC channels - someone had a question and it turned into a couple of years of freelance work. I went through marketplaces, but even 10 years ago, the race to the bottom made them an unprofitable channel.

Freelancing lets you build up a portfolio of work, build relationships with people who can give you work or referrals, solve problems in different domains with different tech stacks, and test yourself as a sole proprietor. It helped me get a lot of experience in a short time.

Times change and these days I would only recommend freelancing for people starting their careers or for people who need some income quick. There are a few issues: you usually won't be trusted to work on mission critical parts of the business, clients care less about quality than you do, sometimes you have to take work that's incompatible with your career goals, and price-sensitive clients can be difficult to deal with when it comes to payment. Looking back, I'd likely do it again, though I'd charge more and be more selective about projects.
It's short, but I don't think that it's very helpful for someone who hears about it for the first time. When you see

your first reaction, as a 12 year old, is to look at the plus sign and wonder - what's the actual result here is? How do these things add up?

I think that explaining it through geometry and vectors first is far more natural to begin with, and gives a solid intuition of what happens with complex numbers when they go through simpler operations.
This seems mostly true, but on “a FLOSS alternative to professional software isn't an alternative if it's unable to be used professionally”: Photoshop is not exclusively professional software. Last I knew, it costed $10 a month. That's a serious barrier to entry to exceptionally poor residents of slums within developing countries, like the disabled boy who lifted himself out of poverty with GIMP and other FLOSS (https://www.gnu.org/education/edu-software-gimp.html#content), but it's basically pocket change to privileged people in the first world like plenty of YouTubers I've seen use PS as part of hobbies like tiny indie gamedev. This seems like an OK niche for GIMP to target while Krita gets more professional. It's tempting to want them to unite and make one raster editor to rule them all, but it doesn't seem necessary. GIMP doesn't seem to need dedicated full time devs and effort comparable to 3D software, which is more inherently complex and in proprietary form is licensed for orders of magnitude more money than PS.

All of the popular crypto currency exchanges blocked the btc address. The same one was used on all accounts. They acted faster than Twitter in mitigating this issue.
There’s no defending Nvidia’s approach to Linux and OSS. It is plain awful no matter how you try to twist the reality. And it is actively damaging because it forces extra work on OSS maintainers and frustrates users. You should not be required to install a binary blob in 2020 to get basic functionality (like fan control) to work. Optimus and wayland support is painfully, purposely bad.

Probably could have earned a lot more from his exploits if he went the formal route and directly confronted Twitter. But then who even knows if Twitter are a good 'first responder' when it comes to high-profile exploits of their system.

There was a recent post about some researcher who exposed flaws in Tor's architecture (which allowed third parties to detect Tor traffic easily) and Tor's staff didn't respond; so she published the finding without going through the proper channels, both embarrassing Tor staff, and simultaneously strengthening the Tor network.

The 'I'm going to publish this sploit because you didn't respond' is a good tactic and I want to see more people do it. It's just unfortunate that the various channels like HackerOne[0] or wherever the skiddies flock to these days are not utilized thoroughly.

TikTok is not a "youth-based social network". It is more similar to YouTube, with content creator ecosystem and advertisement profit sharing and all.
My dad's property in Maine is similar. 15 minutes outside of a small city which has a perfectly good hospital etc. He gets about 1Mbit broadband--so you basically can't use for video--and very marginal cell service. And houses further down the road can't get broadband at all.

I think a lot of people here assume you're either in Manhattan/SF or in some remote section of Wyoming. But, as you say, you don't need to get far away from dense civilization for broadband to be problematic.

I live about 40 miles outside of a major city off a somewhat main road. While I do get Comcast, Verizon FIOS isn't available at my address (in site of the fact that they constantly send me mailings).

Based on the fact that the article mentioned the IRS being involved and the fact that the IRS has been more attentive to cryptocurrencies, my assumption is that they found some way to tie him to the wallets he was using. I would be surprised if the IRS did not have some pretty sophisticated ledger processing tools at this point.
Sure, there are usually equivalent mechanisms in all languages, because it is a good pattern. And yes, especially in OOP purism, it can also go over board, but there are absolutely use cases where tightly binding data and code is very useful (whether you do it with private members, ADTs, forward structure declaration, name mangling etc is less relevant, I think).

I get that there’s a national security angle to this, but I imagine there would be outrage if he unilaterally decided to break up Facebook, for example.
Well, at that time it would have maybe more likely to be "Word Perfect", because Word wasn't the total industry dominator that it later came to be.

Given how many of these attacks have been social engineering ones, companies might benefit from having bug bounties for employees who get fooled.

Yes, this will initially be very expensive as there will be thousands of payouts, but eventually the employees will learn.

I don't know UBI would increase the price of rents, we have more housing than demand.

I don't know why the government would have to build new cities nor why they would have to be financed by UBI.

I was just pointing out that if they did it would reasonably decrease the price of housing.
This quote comes from a relatively juvenile definition of forgiveness, namely forgive and forget. I can forgive someone for violating my trust without giving them the same trusted position they used to have.
To be honest - they don't. You're not the target demographic for them, and that's fine! But for this approach is optimized for the audience that will wear those shirts, go to those shows, buy the posters, follow them on instagram, etc...

Thats ok, and it's not forgiveness then. It's your choice to hold on to your anger, if you find it has purpose.

Is OOP just syntactic sugar once you remove bad practices? I don't think so, but there's definitely an argument there.

Not all of them can, but some of them can. For instance the people that could reset that 'protected' status. It certainly won't be the tooth fairy doing that, a Twitter employee is much more likely.

Really? Like what? And why? Are they afraid someone will start posting stuff that is actually TRUE?
That's irrelevant. Both software and music are:

* infinitely reproducible for near zero marginal cost
* subject to changing tastes and style
* easily obtainable through illegal means

This is especially true for games. Many software companies seem to have solved this dilemma by becoming surveillance or advertising companies that happen to make software. Games have solved it by peddling an increasing quantity of paid, high-margin add-on content and integrating gambling mechanics into their products. I hope the solution musicians come up with isn't as slimy as these.

Edit: I also find that most people treat most music as a commodity much of the time. Why else would random feeds of related music be so popular?
> And how exactly will people get paid, when Spotify (and other streaming services) have effectively replaced album sales?

Touring and merch sales, which is why the aggressive release schedule on Spotify to keep buzz up is supposed to be good in the first place.

> This is just the same tired old "exposure" argument.

The whole argument about needing to release more often is predicated by that exposure argument. If you don't think it works, then when you release on Spotify doesn't matter at all.

Either you accept that Spotify buzz drives attendance and thus more buzz from more releases more often brings more money, or you don't accept that and then there's no pressure to release more often.
Still got it attached to my server box. Other than comfort being able to pop it in the dishwasher for deep cleaning is my fav feature.

"Higher education is often described as an investment. But it’s still unclear if it pays off in happiness."

Nothing, nothing will guarantee happiness. Or a good life.

Make the best decisions you can, by which I mean try to make decisions that you will not regret later. (Have I made a crap-ton of mistakes in my life? Sure 'nuff. Would I make different decisions if I could, even knowing what I know now? Probably not.)

And for the love of Pete, stop denigrating those who have made different choices. Sure, it may make you feel better about your situation temporarily, but it is very, very unappealing.

Shameless plus, I wrote a few paragraphs on this very topic a while back: http://jarbus.net/Forgiveness

A core thing I want to mention is that Forgiveness doesn’t excuse actions, nor does it mean you need to associate with people. Forgiving is purely about letting go of anger.
Ah yes, the "new music sucks" argument. I've definitely never heard this one before. Please tell me how Metallica is relevant right now.

I'm not sure why this is controversial.

In the vinyl era, when a single LP was about 40 minutes long, it was pretty normal for artists to release roughly an album a year. (e.g. Led Zeppelin's eight studio albums were released over a span of 10.5 years, but one was a double album and they took a long break when Robert Plant's son died. The first 7 albums were released over 7 years).

It seems like it was only when albums started to be recorded for the longer CD format (75 min or so) that the time between albums seemed to increase, as if artists felt they needed to have enough material to fill a substantial fraction of a CD's capacity before releasing.

Now that we're in the streaming era, there isn't any particular container size to "fill" to make an album, so there isn't any particular reason for bands to wait long periods, except for their own creative cycles. The notion of an "album" isn't really constrained by any physical limits anymore and it's really just "a bunch of songs released together".

I think the Ek's statements just reflect the fact that it's easier to be successful if you're prolific, and the the new model actually pays when people listen (roughly speaking), rather than just when they buy.

[edit: punctuation]
Exactly. There is the case where the person who has given offense sincerely offers an apology, having become aware of their wrong, with an affect of proportionate contrition. The injured party might now deem to forgive them, and restore the offender's previous status in the relationship--e.g. as a friend, good neighbor, etc.

Redefining "forgiveness" from this bilateral way that we have come to traditionally understand it, into this unilateral context of letting go, not only makes language poorer (through dilution in its explanatory power), but also diminishes the bonds of society, which are preserved through various relationship mechanisms including apology and forgiveness (which serves as an improvement over having a physical altercation on the one hand, and an abandonment of relationship on the other).
What artist?
Can you elaborate on what you're referring to or talking about?

Of course there are loads of software that people use in art. But in the end, those are still solving a problem and are not art. Examples are TouchDesigner, Processing, Logic, Studio One, Pure Data, vvvv, and much more. These software products are not art themselves but are rather solutions to problems to allow artists to create art easier. They are not art products, in my opinion, since they aren't the result of an exploration of expression.

Where the line is blurred for me is in live coding artistic performances. The software there is considered part of the art, as part of the performance. But even then, the software is a tool. If a person uses a hammer in a live art piece, is the hammer now suddenly art? No, I wouldn't think so. It's a tool serving as a utility or maybe medium. It isn't art itself. The art is the performance.

Of course there are always exceptions which cannot be captured in every argument. Something that blurs the line is something like DIN . But see, in such a software product, we begin to see expression and not just a thing solving a problem or being a tool. Similarly with Orca (although I wish they would change the name so as to not interfere with actual orcas which some populations are in danger of going extinct).

https://dinisnoise.org/
Good response. It's simultaneously true that coding (and engineering and science and maths) is more artistic than generally accepted and that "art" in the conventional sense has more in common with those disciplines generally considered to be it's polar opposite.
I Googled the name hoping to prove that wrong, I wish I hadn't.

Title should be: Covid cases decrease in Lockdown-Free Sweden as cases rise in Europe

Current title doesn't clearly indicate that Sweden has plummeting covid cases
Of course it's easy to show declines when you had much higher numbers to start with. The implication here that lockdowns were a mistake is totally specious.
How does that work for a streaming service that charges a flat rate? Do you think public has an appetite for a pay per usage model/micro transaction model or would it drive users back to piracy? Micro transactions in online news media hasn’t managed to get any traction.
While the infection rate in Sweden is thankfully dramatically reduced, it should also be noted that Sweden has reported more infections than:

Denmark, Finland, Norway, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Poland

COMBINED.

Additionally, we generally are seeing reduced cases in cooler climates at the moment and increases in warmer climates. The reverse of which was true in the late winter and spring.

My personal theory is that air conditioning in the heat and heating in the cold with the increased likelihood that clusters of people are inside enjoying these amenities leads to more cases. My prediction is that the warmer places with high case loads will taper off in the fall and rising case loads will return to the colder regions.
