"The self" is just a other way of saying "the unified stream of experience". It is not an illusion, just a fact. No one has ever experienced two consciousnesses. The term "the self" is simply a way of stating that fact.
Honestly I wasn't aware that Google Play Music was still around until I got an email telling me it would discontinued. I've been using YouTube Music since I signed up for YouTube Premium a few years ago, and I've been pretty happy with it.
Patreon's UI is atrocious! At least for the things I use it for. If all it was was a way to give people a donation and nothing else then it wouldn't matter but many people use it as a way to distribute digital media for $$$

But, there is no catalog of media. All you can do is go through old blog posts. The UI of the blog posts is a single page app that you pick "more" at the bottom of every 10 posts. It crashes often and you have re-start back at post 1 when it does and paginate your way back to where you started. Fixing the pagination would be nice but fixing the entire UI around actually helping people distribute their media would be even better.

In fact many people don't even put their media on Patreon given how bad the UI is and are forced to find 3rd party solutions

Also, Patreon is horrible at discovery. For the most part you have to find out about people to become a patron of offsite. Some of that is the people on Patreon not knowing what they are doing but arguably Patreon needs a better way to browse people and concretely know what they'll get access to. Not just "you'll get access to special videos" but rather tell me exactly which videos, how many, how long are they, what is each individual video about, etc....

Even for artists Patreon could generate a series of thumbnails, small enough that just the thumbnails are not enough but large enough that you can tell what art you'll get access to.

Given how bad the UX is it's slightly infuriating they're the most popular of such sites. I guess that just means there is plenty of room for someone to steal their market.

Further, Patreon has lots of people scamming for $$$, reselling other people's art. There are Patreon accounts for blogs of pirate videos like someone runs a blogspot blog of torrents and has a Pateron to support their activity. Or someone uploads videos they don't own to a video site and has a Patreon to support their "cataloging".
Can't you trivially solve this without addressing any of the 17 problems with case insensitivity by just not creating afile.txt and aFile.txt. In TB of data including files from the last 17 years I don't think I have any folders like that.

There’s nothing wrong with the tech you list at the bottom. They’re all solid choices right now. I think you can go ahead and start writing production code right now.

No disagreement from me, this is how our country was supposed to operate.
Patreon's tendency to police content that doesn't agree with their morals is commendable.

They are a platform, not a monopoly.

I hope they succeed, and I personally hope that companies that have morals that I think are worse than theirs fail.

They help people discover content, too.

I think a "moral-neutral provider" is a terrible idea, because it provides a platform to people with deplorable morals.

EDIT: Judging a company by their actions is a valid thing to do. It's remarkable to me that this is controversial.
Agreed. and in high movement games (mostly first person shooters), you want higher framerate over higher resolution any day. 120+ fps is a night and day advantage over 60fps.
Also admissions criteria. Italian colleges are known for having little control over who they admit (and graduate).

Almost all students attend a local university, often without leaving the house. The universities are essentially required to admit (and graduate) large numbers of locals.

I might even argue that it’s a worse problem.

A kid who asks you 1000 times a second whether you are there yet is going to know within 1ms of when you get there, but I imagine we’d all like being the driver much more if there were no “are we there yet”s and all the kid needed was one “We’re here” exactly when you arrive.
Talk about removing non-STEM courses from university suggests a disagreement on what university is.

IMO if you want to remove non-STEM courses, what you actually want is a trade school. University is all about learning outside of the normal narrow viewpoint, so removing everything outside the narrow viewpoint defeats the point.

"But so what", you might say. Well, here's the problem: trade schools already exist, and nobody wants to hire from a trade school because it's seen as less classy.

I think this is the fundamental problem: People want a degree to primarily satisfy employers, and what employers want is to exclude people. You can't have an all-inclusive exclusive degree, it's an oxymoron.

Either you change employers' minds to match your vision of all-inclusive degrees, or you change the degrees to match employer's vision of exclusivity.

Really looking forward to trying this! When I tried using Actions to build a Docker image and deploy it to Kubernetes two months ago the entire experience felt rather clunky, especially when working with a cloud provider that's not one of the big three.
I can't answer your questions, but Facebook's React repo has more than 10x the stars than their Zstandard repo has. Many of their other (more obscure / less used) repos have many less stars.

To me this seems totally reasonable and proportional, given the types of developers that might use each library.

Personally, I don't believe there is much to gain by gaming Github's stars (particularly for a compression library), because there is much more to evaluating a repo and its contents than the count of its stars. Granted, that's just my opinion, and it is somewhat tangential to your original point, just my 2p.

[Disclaimer: I've used Zstandard in several projects, and will happily use it again! :) ]
The fact that images are just arrays of color objects is really neat. Like, you can just put three blue and one brown pixels together in a matrix and you have an image.
Yes, Titan X/Z/RTX/Whatever is confusing.
I had heard that there was a huge trend among colleges to build new single occupancy dorms that have the ammnities of a nice bed and breakfast. Partly due to increasing expectations and partly due to decreasing social skills around sharing living space (more only children or grew up in large house with no shared rooms among siblings). My alma mater built one of these dorms 15 years ago and it was incredibly popular.

From some quick googling:

Simple, you just ignore further input for x milliseconds after the first state change, where x is slightly less than the fastest supported double-click interval.

I mean, fine if you want to make an actual virtual world. But when it comes down to it, it's a video game. Why in the world would any of this be in COD or Battlefield or Fallout? It would take more time than making the actual game part of it to do this pointless garbage that nobody would care about and consume the majority of computer resources. Not to mention a lot of video games remove realistic aspects that would otherwise make it a chore to play.

There are lots of things to be improved in games, but what you're describing are improvements to a real life simulation.
I don't think people doubted that... but that doesn't necessarily imply that they are a net good. For instance, the Chicago Plumbers Union was fantastic for the plumbers but ensured the city's water supply was poisoned for decades at an increased cost to citizens.
If I understand correctly NTFS is actually case sensitive. I believe windows provided a higher level api that is case insensitive from way back.

Because everything on windows used the win32 api applications are friendly to case insensitivity but you can still run into problems interacting with other systems that are not.

Constitutions are for big things, like, freedom of speech. Not for a cap on property taxes to make sure the state legislators can't remove them even if it's in the public interest.

You are, of course, absolutely correct. I said the last few decades because that is, again, as you said, the current "phase" we are on.

We want universities to be places where ideas from a range of schools of thought mix and are able to be explored openly and without negative repercussions. I don't want the extreme right to own university thought any more than the extreme left. We know the consequences of mono-cultural group think are never positive. The canonical example of what happens when the extreme right owns university culture being Nazis, of course.

My personal view on this is that private universities can do as they please. Any university that is publicly funded, either directly or indirectly (government guaranteed loans are an example of this) must have faculty and a culture that reflects the nation with balance and openness.

The fact that our universities have tilted so far to the left isn't good for the nation. Anyone who disagrees with this should consider what things would be like if the opposite were true. If the right owned though at our universities it would be just as much of a nightmare in the making.

This interview with Niall Ferguson (Oxford/Cambridge/Harvard/Stanford professor) was a real eye opener. Some might disagree, but I think the topic warrants some thought.

> As much as it is true that inequality is higher than it should be

I just spent time with a friend who is working two jobs during the pandemic and cannot afford to live on their own in our relatively low cost of living city. They have to ride the bus for 2 hours to get to one job. This isn't even global inequality, this is an order of magnitude income difference between "haves" with high tech jobs that realistically produce no value, and "have nots" who actually make society function.
The race is on to develop the open alternative to Patreon before Patreon becomes the monster and squeezes creators out of necessity.

I put forth that Wordpress, Peertube, Substack, and ActivityPub are all inspiration for what comes next (with Stripe, PayPal, Venmo, and Zelle support for patron payments/subscriptions). The primitives already exist.
Hey davismwfl, thank you x1000 for such a considered reply. I'll see about doing one of those experiments, likely with video.
Often it is used as a red flag when a prospect scores particularly low on the test. NFL playbooks are complex and there is a lot to learn and then apply in real time on the field compared to in college. Players who cannot process all of this added complexity rapidly and then apply it are at risk of not being able to keep up on the field, even if they are incredible athletes. This holds the most weight with quarterbacks who have the most to juggle mentally throughout a game, so you most often hear conversations about the wonderlic when talking about the quarterback position.
I don't know your background but the way you respond makes me think you have not been responsible for systems that multiple tenants rely on for varying workloads.

These assumptions you're making are dangerous because the variety of workloads across tenants is extreme. If you're going to do something like "kill compute no matter what" then you better have a good reason for it.
Things has changed a little few days ago. They've sent an email telling their user about their new policies including a "new inactive image retention policy", saying "For free accounts, Docker offers free retention of images inactive for six months" (See link 1).

Not too big of a deal, but I'd imagine many users would take that into account when they're making chooses.

PRECISELY!

Watch this then and tell me I am wrong:

We are funding and paying for a "narrow narrow viewpoint" to our detriment. This is isn't what universities are for. I am 100% in agreement with you in that regard. Watch the interview and think about what he is saying.
There seem to be some developers who make mod content for games who do well on Patreon.

“prod access” should not be a single large group or access boundary.

Access to non-tokenized PII data stores or the small set of systems that require touching untokenized PII should be a very small compartment, with extremely tight min-two-person deployment/introspection controls and minimal change frequency.
