The problem is that such a browser wouldn't be any use to users in the short-term, because most of the web simply wouldn't "work" in it.

So, I don't think it's developers that are the problem. As a web dev myself, I'd much rather have less, mostly unnecessary, complexity to deal with, but I can't see a rational path towards that.
He definitely “growth hacked” his channel to grow his audience. I’m glad to see him make the pivot to serious content after his Patreon could support him and his crew full time.
Awful confusing UX, take a look at VCV Rack for comparison
I don't know enough physics to give a proper answer, but I think this example is wrong. I don't think you can measure your speed relative to something moving at the speed of light, because there is no reference frame for the photon to be 'at rest'. Even in the photons own reference frame, it's still moving at c.
Insider trading is more significant for smaller companies outside of the S&P 500.
The size (not always duration) of outage in your second link would be considered routine in many American cities. To take SF as an example:

- 2020, well, here you go

- 2018/2019 should also need no overview, CA is probably the worst power situation in OECD countries in the 21st century

- 2017, 88k without power https://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2017/04/21/power-outage-sh...

- 2016, 23k https://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2016/10/14/pge-power-outag...

I'm only picking the first Google result for each year. I could keep going but I hope the point is made: Berlin got a blackout once in a decade like most American cities get multiple times a year. It reacted comparatively slowly because it's so infrequent there was no recovery plan. The political impact of the outage was huge, the country's attitude was that everything is collapsing - and by "collapsing", they mean "like America is all the time."
It’s still morally wrong, and those of us whose taxes pay these corrupt administrators’ salaries and whose elected officials gave them a weapon in the form of Title IX have every right to be insensed.
Just curious: were you aiming for a ROT1'd name?
It’s often the simple, fundamental things (text, time, images) that we think are easy to implement, but in fact are incredibly complex under the hood. It’s often the human “decentralization” that causes all the quirks and oddities that make things difficult to get right. Text encoding is a good example, date and time another one. Both actually have much more in common than you would think.
I'm doing it the other way, by testing with all browsers and only using subset of HTML which works in all.
Then why do we bother with Democracy? (Imagine thinking philosopher-princes are a viable alternative.)
I read somewhere that today a 100 times magnification requires a oil objective and very sturdy microscope frame.

In Wikipedia they wrote that The single-lens microscopes of van Leeuwenhoek were relatively small devices, the largest being about 5 cm long. They are used by placing the lens very close in front of the eye, while looking in the direction of the sun.

So van Leeuwenhoek was able to look in tiny device pointed to the sun and incredibly close to his eye and magnifying up to 275 time or more? Incredible, specially for someone like me who has shaky hands and poor vision!
The ref I was looking for. Thanks!
If you read the article I linked, you'll see that 22% of workers have dated their bosses and that 41% of people in workplace romances had to keep it secret (usually due to policies forbidding such relationships).

This behavior is extremely common and –dare I say it– usually quite healthy. Banning it doesn't stop it. It just turns everyone into hypocrites.
Is there list somewhere which symbols decompose into characters? (other than that 4 character symbol example)
If a tester can't simply create a volume, mount it, and copy a directory tree into it without encountering a null pointer dereference, this to me raises serious questions about how this driver is tested and the lack of care in building it.
The popularity of Go suprises me when even relatively simple programs measure 10-20 MB or more. It is like Java. Is it even possible to write Go programs measured in KB?
Are there meaningful differences between this and the Rutgers saliva test that received emergency use authorization in April?

Do we know which university it was? Specifically do we know that it was a public university? It’s abhorrent either way, but I’m curious about the identity of the guilty university.
> The way I plan to solve this (next year) could be very controversial, but I believe it based on my experiences so far: No internet until you finish the curriculum, no alcohol, no drugs. Maybe also no meat but that's still up in the air.

Sounds like today’s version of a 17th century monastery. Maybe, you should push it further
And that's why the silly methods for the FAANGS don't work (I think I described those, not the more normal organisations -- but that's not what the visas target or are being lobbied for AFAIK). Or perhaps they do work, but simply not as an entrance for students. The FAANG postings are still worded similar to the more 'normal' jobs, but are very different.
I agree (in principle!) with the idea that consistency across the whole code base has value, but personally I find it extremely marginal, unless you're literally dealing with e.g. hundreds of people needing to read/modify the code. The value proposition skews heavily towards situations where you have a lot of people needing to read/modify the code.
In a word, yes. There are plenty of smart people thinking about distribution management systems to control loads, manage local generation (household PV) and even use electric vehicles as an energy store to power the during periods of peak demand.

Supply authorities in my corner of the world (Australia) are planning this shift, but I can’t speak to the situation in other regions.

It makes for a boring story when the married man decides to go home instead of hang out with the cute office girl after work, but it sure is the most effective way to resist temptation. But yes, we must also be able to resist when we find ourselves in a situation that we cannot avoid.
And to extend, Windows/NTFS is not particularly slow at accessing a large file (actually, until recently they have been ahead for async read/write into big files), the area where they really suck is anything that has anything to do with metadata.
Most of the world does not live in terrible poverty. Most of the world used to live in terrible poverty. Highly recommend reading "Factfulness" if you still believe miserable poverty in the norm across the world. Your vision is likely highly skewed by the media and your own unusual wealth in the context of the world / history.
In the end the people who are most knowledgeable and most involved decided a gradual change was not feasible. Armchair quarterbacking them, without very specific and detailed arguments, just feels like the Dunning–Kruger effect in action.

Thanks to climate change, this is probably not going to continue to be a 1 in 20 year load. Expect this to be more and more frequent over the coming years. Might be an every year and/or multiple times a year thing within the next decade or two.

I've read some predictions that suggest these heat waves becoming a regular thing could happen within the next five years, but I'm sticking with more conservative predictions.
Flutter for web still has quite a few issues that many consider to be deal breakers when considering it for real world use.
I think the reason thinner later is harder to act to bring about, vs pie now is due to uncertainty. Thinner later is uncertain, hence I think our brains naturally discount the future goal, with a preference for the immediate.

what has worked for me is thinking in terms of positive choices, rather than goals or restrictions.

It’s not “I am not going to eat that cookie”

Rather it’s

This won't do, from the myriad issues I'll pick one: you might encounter an unsupported feature seconds into page loading, or even later, after user already entered some data.
But is it informative? I've watched a few of his videos now and they feel unrepresentative of the topic or group he's covering. It feels like he cherry picks the zaniest people in the room, which is great for comedy and entertainment value but leaves me thinking: ok these people have some interesting things to say, but are they representative of any group or movement or anything important?

I end the video questioning if I've actually learnt anything meaningful about the world and its problems, or if I've just watched a modern-day freak show.
Yeah, I don't buy those figures in the slightest, and further, none of that is a normative argument that it should continue. All it describes is that it's common for those in power, generally men, to abuse their status to create relationships under conflicting intentions.
Thanks for doing this. This is really awesome of you but you need to find some way to subsidize the cost in the long term.

Have you got any ideas?

I am thinking for-profit divisions such as a hiring agency (you will be able to fix the hiring processes) and training services for interns and juniors of companies, etc. You can sell enterprise subscriptions that companies can pay to give their employees access to training material whilst still providing an open source version via GPL.

Maybe crowd funding. Some kind of lambda school agreement or help spin off companies from projects and take a cut.

I would love to talk more about this. I am starting a similar endeavour as a hobby. Email is in the profile.
Isn't that what Musk actually does? Makes the machines that makes the machines. :)

Every one who works for him should know that we need to ditch our burner inserters asap and get to ... wait, not solar... solar + nuclear with a circuit to turn it on and off depending on steam.
but the counterargument is that such a target-specific approach prevents any reasonable effort to consistently define the semantics of any programming language.

Why does there even need to be? There's already undefined behaviour to take into account the variance. Otherwise it's just making things worse for programmers who want to easily solve real problems on real hardware, not the absurd theoretical world of spherical cows.
If users want a “relationship” with you, as part of SIWA they have the option to give you their real address. If they didn’t, obviously they didn’t want you to have their real email address.

Your other option is not to have any social login and use your own sign up process.

“Strangling them with 30%”? Did you ever try to get a physical product in retail?
I'm not sure about that reading. Andrew clearly lets people be themselves, but the people themselves and the format obviously select for the crazier ones.

Since this is an Illinois state law, would the number be limited to people who have used Instagram while in Illinois?
Sounds like what our own financial sector is doing here.
“Kill switches” on equipment are switches that shut the equipment down abruptly and reliably, but usually are not expected to damage the equipment. They're common on things with engines, motorcycles, boat outboards, etc.

It's also a common phrase to say “kill the engine” even if that means just turning the ignition off in the usual way, and again, it doesn't imply damaging the engine.

The kind of switch you're describing would be useful but calling it a kill switch would be confusing to US-English speakers.
$500B is pretty nuts. Does anyone else here feel that this whole thing is nuts?

Facebook's market cap is $700B. Making them pay $500B in damages would put them out of business. So, to be clear with what we're talking about here, we're considering the corporate death penalty.

The alleged crime? Processing photo data to find objects that look like people that look similar to other objects that look like people. Yes, by the letter of the law, that's against BIPA (which is a problematic law motivated by a historically anti-tech cash-grabby legislature (see: Netflix Tax)), but what are the actual damages to the injured party? It is a tall order to convince me that having your name pop up as a recommended tag in your friend's photo caused you any material harm, let alone $1000+ per incident.

I get that there's a privacy angle, I get that PII is toxic, I get that we care about data protection and all now. But this? This is a dumb law, and a dumb lawsuit.

Switching to "allowing animals to roam" doesn't seem remotely viable or likely path in the current state of the world. There just doesn't seem to be any incentive which can compete with the maximization of profit.
We need international carbon pricing too. Make it fair. Any country not charging the minimum gets that added to import taxes at all participating counties. Increase the price yearly too.
I think it bypassed windows filesystem filters (antivirus, etc) and thus faster because there is nothing taxing your read/write operations.
I use a box that I can lock with a timer (called kitchensafe), which means I have no chance (except breaking the whole thing) to get to my cookies (in my case all kinds of sweets) after i set the timer (which i usually set after taking a few things). Really helps with exactly this type of problem. Although I had to buy another one for the office a few weeks ago... (I gained pounds during covid anyway, so it's not the be all end all.. but it helps me)
I am a HUGE fan of J, so having new sibling languages is very exciting to me.

Spoken like an American. Most of Europe begs to differ.

Granted, this took place in the US, with use mores, but surely we can recognize that this is a value judgement rather than a clear rule with no room for reasonable disagreement.
I would assume it would be free to upload--probably not paid except maybe for certain invited people but not sure how that would work. But paid for consumers, at least for value-add features? Or rolled into scribd subscription?

Don't have strong feelings. If it vanished tomorrow I would notice but wouldn't hugely care.
But that's the state that elected McCain to the Senate.
> My point was that general programming usually looks more like writing the sorting algorithm than simply calling it. Thus, I would be more interested in seeing real examples of how the properties of J allow you to write algorithms more concisely or otherwise better.

Ah - I see. Here[1] is quicksort in j. John scholes's videos are excellent and very illustrative, though they deal with apl rather than j; conway's game of life[2] and sudoku[3].

> The article showed how J solves some mathematical problems with built in functions or their built-in modifiers. But in general programming, you won't find a function that does exactly what you wanted, maybe with a little adverb. You'll usually have to write that function yourself, to describe how it works in terms of some of those pre-existing functions.

Right. This is true, but you generally stay much closer to the builtins in j than you do in other language.

> Note that your second example could be expressed as something like

> x.OrderBy(y => y[1])

> In C#, assuming x is int[N][M]. I understand that J's version can work with many other shapes of X, but that is hard to appreciate without seeing example of how that comes in handy when writing some other (hopefully well known) algorithm.

Right; you mentioned sort predicates, so I was giving an example of a way in which you could sort according to another relation. My point is: being able to change the layout of your data so easily can obviate sort predicates. (Though I do think a sort adverb taking a predicate would be cool.)

I had another idea. It is its own file format (independent of the transport protocol; HTTP works just as well, or you could use DVDs just as well, too), which is a Hamster archive containing several lumps. There is its own document format, which lacks support for styles and a lot of other stuff, but does include some commands (e.g. footnotes, data tables, emphasis, headings, hyperlinks, lists, fix-pitch), and there may also be lumps containing executable code (which is optional, as are the document lumps). The executable code is sandboxed and can do no I/O at all (including random numbers and date/time) without an extension. There are standard extensions, and the user is required to be able to configure the extensions, to enable/disable them, substitute their own implementation, or add a proxy to them. If there is network communications, a PROTOCOL.DOC lump (which is meant to describe the protocol in use, but may be blank) is mandatory, in order that the user can reimplement the protocol by themself. Extensions must be open source and fully documented (in order to be listed in the main documentation, and listed in the installation menu of the main distribution). (Some standard extensions would include the document view, a command-line interface, a terminal-based text interface, date/time, random number generation, network communication, and files.) Documents may also be stand-alone. Extensions are identified by a sequence of UUIDs.
> I think you're a little confused...

FWIW starting a conversation that way is going to put people in a defensive mindset and make them less likely to properly consider what you have to say.
You mean you find the browser to be slower? There's more to a browser than its JavaScript engine. Firefox and Chrome also use entirely different rendering engines.

As for which browser really is faster, it depends on the workload. Someone already linked to https://areWeFastYet.com/
ThinkPad T14s Review: Business laptop is better with AMD

Outrun lets you execute a local command using the power of another Linux machine
This would be great. I also think there is the issue of HTTP being a good protocol and the web being a good distribution platform, and as a result browsers have to be complex because they are everything to everyone. It'd be cool to have a really optimized browser/game engine with WebGPU, WebXR, Gamepad API, audio and Wasm, and no or minimal HTML support as an application platform, for example. Or a browser that has a unified fixed UI for streaming video. I understand these aren't perfect examples and can be nitpicked and might not work in practice, but I strongly agree with this idea in a general sense.
I said “abolish normal evidentiary requirements”.

You’re pretending that means “require criminal standard of evidence”.

See the problem?
The striped IBM logo (1967) predated VDT scan lines. IBM introduced the 2260 Display Terminal which used a CRT in 1965, but while it was a poplar product it isn't consistent with this theory of the logo as the scanlines were actually vertical.

The successor product, the 3270 terminal, was only introduced in 1971, and so postdates the striped logo.

You're on firmer ground with the connection to striped continuous teletype paper (such as that used with the IBM 1403 printer), but the ubiquity of those stripes really only begins with the introduction of dot matrix printers in 1970.

Notably, when Paul Rand initially introduced his striped logo redesign, an executive commented "It reminds me of the Georgia chain gang."
The interesting summary is they decided after using neutron tomography to scan the "too expensive and fragile to disassemble" microscopes that he was just really great at grinding them. Still uncertain is if he used some unusual variety of glass. I hate teaser titles.
That's so true. And it's not just the relevance part of it, we have to even incorporate few operational cues as well while recommending products. Not for Amazon but for a different marketplace, I manage the recommendation engine as a product and we have incorporated product serviceability to customer's address as one of the parameters. Then the usual e-comm stuff kicks in like, out of stock issues, price elasticity during sale periods, new product/category launches etc.

Obviously, I do not want to discount other non-commerce recommendation engines like Spotfiy's or Netflix. They are great in their own ways, but e-comm is quite a different ball game. The cross sell model is really hard to crack if you have 1000s of competing sub categories and millions of products in them to fill in your top 10-20 slots.
I had an acquaintance whose side business was running ATM's in convenience stores in California (the fees are outrageously profitable) so I assume it's possible to buy/rent the latest models for personal use and hack it all you want.
They were a tactic in a political battle. Saying they were "for fire safety" is stretching things.
Reputation is a lagging indicator. You have to deal with the fact you're trying to recruit people who care about backwards compatibility into a company with a strong reputation for not caring about that. You're going to have the bad reputation long after the underlying problem is fixed.
Got it. I'm in the US - there have been boycotts every year of Amazon but they have grown to be pretty large here. How are they doing in france? It seems their model may be less successful there especially if there is more willingness to boycot.
It's an interesting intellectual argument. Is might is right wrong? Does the ethical validity of it depends on culture? Are there cross species ethics and moral, or are they the product of culture?

I'm neither abandoning, nor condoning the stance. I'm merely stating that this is how conflicts are resolved.
Do you do anything with them or are you just keeping them for fun or future profits?
