I'm sorry, but are you really losing that much productivity by being a bit more human and replying to that hello, asking how the other person this? in any case, once the question is asked, you will be context switching and trying to find that answer.

I find that saying hello and then waiting is more practical. If the other person is busy, then they won't reply and they'll reply at a more convenient time.

Well one thing is that if you’ve tried it you’ll run into the problem he illustrates there that you are writing to the Sam file you are reading from, which won’t work right.

My guess is sponge buffers all the input and then sends it to output once stdin is closed.
So Pantalaimon is something that needs to be added and configured, how easy is it to fuck up this configuration and accidentally send a non-E2EE message? Is it a program you can forget to launch? Is it something that can crash and make the user vulnerable?

How many of the apps you listed in second paragraph spawn E2EE chat by default?

How many of the apps warn about E2EE not being enabled when joining a room?

How many of the apps warn when E2EE is broken by e.g. IRC-bridge-bots?
But this is just weird gatekeeping. You could for example be extremely fluent in a single genre but uninterested in others. For example I've been playing games for over 30 years and don't really know the genre conventions of match-3 games beyond the obvious. Similarly I know very little about MOBAs or gacha style games or visual novels. And I'm a game designer!

IMO one of the worst aspects of modern "gamer" culture is this insistence on purity tests particularly when they're aimed at games that are extremely popular with women.

Even in terms of market segmentation I don't think the distinction of "overall gaming fluency" is very measurable or meaningful.
As someone who's in a Gitter room with a couple of people using the Matrix bridge: it works, but I wouldn't call it great. Messages by Matrix uses look like messages by the same user ("Matrixbot" or something like that), which simply prefixes its messages by `<username>`. @mentioning people no longer autocompletes, and you often see Matrix users trying to do it as well but inadvertently using someone's display name rather than their actual handle, thus not resulting in a notification. And when a Matrix users tries to edit their message, the edited message just gets sent again in addition to the non-edited one which is still there.
Healthy, fit people will just continue becoming more and more rare and ascendant in our society.

Though in 100 years we'll have VR that's as seamless as unlocking your phone. Maybe games will be the healthy jacked guys in school through all the incidental exercise.
It varies, like. Most mobile games are pretty crap, but you have people like Supercell who make good mobile games - I don't like their games, but lots and lots of people do.

And to be fair, most "actual" games are pretty crap too.

CPython is less affected than CRuby because CPython has a specialized allocator called obmalloc for small objects up to 512 bytes.

CRuby < 2.6 doesn't have an allocator like this and hits malloc for anything bigger than 24 bytes. 2.6+ can allocate using the "transient heap" which helps but isn't as effective as CPython's obmalloc.

This chart is a bit misleading - MacOS is the equivalent of windows 7, 8.1, and windows 10 combined, which places Microsoft at the top where they belong. iOS has overall fewer code execution and privilege escalation vulnerabilities as well.

Is basically a wiki right? Anyone can contribute? What proportion is written by paid staff and what proportion is written by public contributors?

It seems like it suffers from a free rider problem which isn't at all helped by the lack of focus (and funds) in Mozilla's initiatives. I understand that people are sick of corporate greed, out-of-touch execs, etc but I don't blame Mozilla for deprioritizing it when they literally are running out of money to pay staff (this is a whole other issue in and of itself).

It should be spun out with formalised its goals then go full wikipedia with annual fundraising or donation drives. If this fails they should look to be subsumed under similar non-profit foundations who can afford to maintain it. The free rider problem is not easily solved and if it isn't I expect MDN to decay, there isn't away around this.

I built a PC in June and bought a 5500XT and it's bloody unusable. It hangs if I plug a monitor, it hangs randomly, it hangs when idle, it's not a hardware defect since Windows is fine with it.

Sorry but the Linux community has been bashing NVIDIA and praising AMD because "opensource" while there are critical bugs like that one that have been open for a year. It makes my blood boil.

My opensource friendly 5500XT is on a shelf and I'm using an NVIDIA card in its place. And you better believe I will not be giving AMD my custom again.
The article is really bad : a mixture of almost-technical information with some condescending analogies.

TL;DR: internet is made of data flowing from your device to the service you want to reach.

In BL it goes through infrastructure controlled by the state.

The state shut down the infrastructure and BL did not have internet.

The article forgot to mention GSM data on borders from neighboring countries (one way some images were exfiltred) and satellite communications available to some (including some foreign companies that use it as a backup)
Sure but both sides could do that right?
Linux on ARM is a very mainstream platform from the perspective I’m looking at this from, I’m afraid. I’m talking about strange Unices running on architectures that GCC may or may not maintain a backend for, or maybe a BusyBox available on some debug interface, maybe a school project to build a simple POSIX-compatible OS or a bootstrap for a platform that had been recently jailbroken. In these cases C is almost always the go-to language and I suspect it will remain so for the foreseeable future as this is precisely the long tail of distributions that standards were intended to provide a base set of tooling for.
I would not, as it will cost be time and money down the road in case the company doesn’t have a proper way to deal with cancellations

My father still does crosswords daily. Much of this amounts to digitised Soduku, Crosswords, Solitaire etc.. - passing time on light fare.

A new Netflix special on games 'High Score' touches on the gender issues and how some games for whatever reason have entirely different demographic appeal: Pac Man and Tetris were (still in the later case) disproportionately popular among women.

The medium obviously allows for much more, but we can't ignore the social parallels.
Ohh how could I forget Stardew Valley! That game is great.

The mistake this article does, is presume developers care about the consequences of what they co-create for huge international corporations. Clearly, judging from HN posts, they do not. Those who do, won't stay in those jobs (myself included).

Now, it was a boring read and more about disappointment in politics and corporate promises, so kind of a catch-up of what has been warned about since late 90's and introduction of Facebook. Maybe not many today relate to the reference to "Brave New World", aside from HBO shows, ironically also provided by huge international corporations (not worth the watch IMHO).

It's simply not what developers care about, and that's truly sad and horrifying, but not surprising in the least.
It's just not what professionals are paid to care about, or even relevant to the hobby-side of programming.
Hey Ivan, thanks for sharing the great article! I actually read it last year and left a comment (name is Chentai). Back in 2019 I built an IntelliJ plugin [1] as a prototype for Java, and now I'm building Codemap as a natural follow-up. Glad to reconnect :)
I definitely share your sentiment towards visual programming. AR/VR may be a better vehicle to convey the code structure, but I think 2D call graph, if done well, could serve as a valuable stepping stone for now. Hopefully Codemap can be the tool that inspires future design and thoughts.

“Never, ever, think about something else when you should be thinking about the power of incentives.” — Charlie Munger, https://fs.blog/2017/10/bias-incentives-reinforcement/

Mechanism design is a subfield of game theory and economics called mechanism design that tackles this directly.

Instead of having a game and figuring out how it works and what is the outcome is when agents play it, the problem is to design a game that creates desired outcomes when selfish agents play it.

It's possible to design mechanisms where utilitarian social-choice function is the best choice even when players are selfish. The most famous result in the field is Vickrey–Clarke–Groves mechanism to achieve a socially-optimal solution in auctions. Quadratic voting and quadratic funding is another interesting mechanism that results good outcomes. Vitalik Buterin is involved with this too.

I don't understand why it's apparently controversial that we can break a category like computer gaming into a spectrum of activities and styles.

We do it in many other areas without such issue, e.g., recreational vs. amateur vs. professional athletics, cooking, artistry, etc. If a report were published that said "250 million adult Americans are cooks" I'd find it objectionable. It's not a meaningful number, either in terms of market segmentation or as a description of the actual activity that is purported to be engaged in.

How does that contribute to saving the planet? It's as close as it gets to "sweeping the dust under the rug".

IIUC it's enormous amounts of copying since Erlang processes are "shared nothing" and have separately collected private heaps. To reduce copying BEAM has a separate shared heap using refcounting to share big blobs.

Epic vs. Apple: a GPU API as a weapon against you
Pan won’t let you send plaintext msgs in E2EE rooms. If you don’t launch it, your client can’t connect. It doesn’t have any known downgrade vulns. You can’t downgrade an E2E room to a non-encrypted one.

I haven’t checked to see which of those apps spawns E2EE chat by default. Element does, and I’d assume the other client devs are following suit; there’s no reason not to. Likewise, i haven’t surveyed to see what UI they use to warn for unencrypted rooms.

We’re currently working on an MSC to better advertise what bots/bridges exist in a room so you can track whether any is likely to be leaking your conversation to an unencrypted system. This is inevitably going to be on a best effort basis though.
Doesn't this suffer from low n? There's only been so many presidential elections, and there's only been so many in a similar environment, whatever you think the relevant factors are.

> And Linux, as well--including the Librem 5 phone[0].

I think the point is more that in e.g. the US, nearly half the population has an iPhone [1], so a chat service that is only available on Android and Linux can't spread as much.

[1]: https://www.counterpointresearch.com/us-market-smartphone-sh...
There is no US industry so dominated by unions that you are forced to be a member of one, if a worker takes a union job they know what they're getting in to.

I don't understand why you're connecting forced arbitration to unions. Also, it's hard to see how unions aren't a form of free speech.
By now it should be clear that Apple intends to milk its ecosystem for what is is worth. It is also clear that there are plenty of people who seem to be fine with it - viz. remarks like "I'd pay $2000 for an iPhone to feel safe" as someone wrote here yesterday and even some of the comments in this short thread like "As a consumer I’m on apple’s side which is not all about top slicing cash". While I do not like Apple and its practices I think they should be free to sell to the faithful at the price the faithful are willing to pay. Those who do not like these practices should withdraw their products from the walled garden and concentrate the (much larger) market outside of Apple. Once enough products and with that users start disappearing from the walled garden Apple might change its stance.
I use a corsair aio in a custom build. It's fine. It's exactly the same as using an aio on windows without installing icue (their device management software, which is pretty shit). You can't set custom fan / pump speed curves, but the defaults are fine. I'm cooling a 3950x and I've had no issues with temperature. You also can't adjust the LEDs but whatever.
1. That's the date the bot started tracking. Actually, deforestation data starts in 2015 but I thought it'd be dishonest of the bot to count in deforestation that happened before the bot release. First drafts of the bot worked this way but that behavior was abandoned.

2. What do you mean by 2%? I guarantee I'm not mixing units, the remaining area shown is the remaining forestal area for the country in display, meaning that if the deforestation rhythm keeps that way, Suriname will be completely deforestated in 1.5 years.

3. The GLAD alerts dataset, which the bot takes as data source, don't make any distinction between forestal area of any type, they just track deforestation based on changes comparison in satellite imagery, Landsat 7 & 8 being the main imagery sources.

4. Then again, GLAD alerts does not provide any info on the causes of the deforestation.

I think globalforestswatch.org have an API based around industrial logging that let's you track industry-based deforestation only, but it's based on in-site reports and it's not as reliable as satellite-based GLAD alerts.
> This was the plan.

I'm starting to suspect that the real plan was killing as many poor people as possible, explaining the mass baths and stupid advices (cleaning masks with gasoline, go away and enjoy your tear gas, or drink poisons to poison the virus, and so...)

> Why did it change?

Because this plan leads to healthcare system collapsing as collateral damage, and this is an universal fear in all countries. If it collapses people that otherwise would recover, will die by lack of medical resources.

And because it failed. After all those months we still are far from herd immunity, even if we had sacrificed thousands of elders in the way.

That ship was sailed, for several reasons, and specially for some countries.
Rust supports many platforms but only has "tier 1 support" on a handful of mainstream architectures.

It will make map comparisons with Suriname until this country is deforestated, then it will move to the next country in the list.

IANAL but I don't think Apple is liable in this case. It sounds just like websites not being responsible for user created content. They do have to remove illegal content, and must have means to report and act on it, but you can't e.g. sue hackernews because someone posts a torrent of a Marvel movie.
Do you have a citation for that? Because that definitely seems unreasonable if AirBnb are taking a cut of that.

How does Apple define "B2B" though?

It's an important question to SaaS products that want to pivot to B2C or launch a B2C view of a B2B product.

Take Office 365 for example, originally it was B2B for the first few years then Microsoft made it available to everyone. Similarly, would you consider Adobe Creative Cloud a B2B service or B2C?

Glad you like it! It uses a language-specific parser to generate function dependencies data, e.g. list of function calls, which are then consumed and visualized by shared UI components that renders the graph.
To build language parsers, I started with Language Server Protocol (LSP) [1], but soon realized that some LSP libraries are outdated and I should go deeper to the core language parser, e.g. using Typescript tsserver for JS/TS code.
To support a new language, I'll need to integrate a good language parser for that language, generate function dependencies, then the UI and graph rendering will take care of the rest.

You can't dd them. Format a USB drive, make a fat32 or ntfs[1] partition. Extract all the files from the ISO (mount -o loop to an intermediate directory and copy the files out, 7z can also do it) onto said partition. Set the bootable and ESP (EFI System Partition flag) flags. Works like a charm every time.

(You can also try the woeusb[2] tool, but it's not doing anything fundamentally different to or better than that.)

I somewhat understand your point here. In fact this bot has sometimes made feel a little bit miserable.

I detailed this aspect of the bot in a blog post (imnotanerd.herokuapp.com/4).

TLDR: I think this bot remains important because it makes true deforestation data accessible for whoever it may concern and it helps people understand and track the issue in a way that provides certain "feedback" against traditional absolute deforestation data like "x football pitches per minute".
