> I have also noticed that my dreams adapt to outside sounds/lighting changes in realtime.

Yes, that happens. I have both read about and experienced it. For example if you are thirsty or hungry (in real life), that can be reflected in your dream, in a related but possibly also weird way (sometimes). Like if you have real hunger, you may dream that you are eating something. I either read or think that the brain/mind does this as a compensating/adjusting mechanism, so that sleep can continue. Same for needing to take a leak, although of course that cannot go on for long. And for the weird part, you may dream that you are eating something impossible to eat, like rocks, to take a wild example. After all, not all events in dreams are logical or follow physical laws of real life.

>What's more spooky is that the entire dream preserves it cohesion and nothing feels out of place, even when the events outside (in the real world) are completely random. Like sound of the door closing or someone walking by the bed, all of that integrates seamlessly into the dream.

Yes, that too happens, and is because any crazy/impossible event can happen in a dream, and in the dream it seems normal - i.e. what I said about physical laws above, and also because our physical senses still operate somewhat in dreams, and those sensations can show up as events in the dream.
I think it depends on the type of communication being made, when, why, etc.

For example, if someone wants to send you an anonymous message, they could just reply right here to this thread with some blob of PGP encrypted text, anonymously. Plausible deniability would exist and, as well, metadata could easily be obfuscated. Here's an example, but I'm not going to make a throwaway.

I lucked my way into a lunch with Michael somewhat under 10 years ago and had a chance to pick his brain, and of course express gratitude for his writing which had an influence on me when I was younger.

What I found really remarkable, though, was he also picked my brain -- a junior programmer with no notable accomplishments, working on not very interesting problems. And when I bumped into him on a couple occasions after that, he remembered what I worked on and would ask how it was going.
I asked before, but didn't get an answer. Darcs is criticized for lack of soundness and potential exponential merge complexity -- which I'm not sure I've actually run into -- but that's Darcs2. I haven't actually followed along, but I thought the development Darcs3 is an answer. This may not be the place to ask, but can anyone compare the new Pijul and Darcs3?
Option + click on Mac…
I just didn't want to list everything, hence why I added the remark "the way to do it depends on what kind of data type we are talking about", and yes I do not mean it was as exhaustive as DataTypes, as I don't know all use cases.

I disagree that it has anything to do with visibility of the tax. If the government's goal is to reduce water usage, then all they have to do is increase the tax. If the usage doesn't go down, then increase the tax even more. At some point, the people paying for the water be unable to afford consuming the same amount of water, whether or not the tax is explicitly shown is irrelevant. If producers can absorb the tax, then keep raising the tax until the water consumption goes down.
> Now with Project Reunion, for those that don't know, is basically merging the Win32 and UWP worlds

From what I have read of project Reunion, my prediction would be this technology will be a flop.

From what I can tell the parts of Win32 that are supported are the non-GUI elements.

For most Win32 applications the GUI is tightly bound to the application logic and from what I can tell Reunion is not going to help fix that.

Now again I might be wrong, but if the Reunion solution is to replace Win32 GUI with UWP, just keeping the non GUI Win32 parts, then I would say you might as well throw away the whole application and start again.

If someone out there has used Reunion to migrate/modernism a Win32 application then I would love them to share their experience.
Isn't Qualcomm kind of the same distance behind with the most recent hardware? I don't get the impression that the gap is widening, with the new high perf ARM cores it seems to be shrinking, even.
I'm possibly missing something but that Image Unit thing seems to be a filter rather than a decoder?

The Core Audio stuff is definitely datatypes though - converting things to a common backend format for apps to use.
gameswithgo.org is a fun way to learn, it is a free video series I did, using the Go programming language, with game based projects. But the content is serious computer science fundamentals.
I think if apps like Snapchat and Instagram were on Windows Phone, the platform would still be here today.
And never mind the fact that MS is a vendor, and this score is implicitly stating that using their products = productivity. If you believe that, you also believe that Microsoft’s collaboration tools are perfect, and the only reason an employee is not highly engaged with the O365 suite is that the employee is not productive.
I read it as: self-annointed arbiters of truth demean themselves by their own definition as such.

Trustworthy sources of information accept the limits of their knowledge and recognise their own ability to make mistakes. Who fact-checks the fact-checkers?

"Fact-checking" by definition, implies infinitely-superior, infallible knowledge.

Ie, bullshit.

As for frabric8, the project is dead.
I know very well who marcan is and I also have quite some experience in this area. I know how challenging these kind of things are and I just didn't expand on my argument because it is a very ambitious project.
Performance was the feature. Friendster should have been social network of that era but they couldn’t scale and had to shutdown new user registration. Same thing happened to Twitter but they had no competitor in short form social networking.
This is nice, I played a few games and the game played well except for a few bugs, namely some tiles remain blank after they’re uncovered - in Safari on IOs
OpenOffice works better on old machines, it is plainly lighter. I do not bother to install it Linuxe distros, where it comes by default, but on old windows machines OpenOffcie is very useful.

Do you have any examples?
> misrepresent some microarchitectural details

Have you maybe also heard which details could have been misrepresented?
Not in particular. From the article:

> Exploring the download statistics deeper, OpenOffice received more than 20 million downloads this year so far, most of them were from the US and France. The download locations are fairly distributed around the world, so the situation isn’t that just a subgroup in one country is causing all the downloads:
> Error! You can only send one friend-request every two minutes. Please wait a minute and try again.

This is going to slow down adoption.
The problem is this notion is not able to be disproved. While I'm completely confident that 10 years from now the Mac will still be open enough to be considered a "real" computer, I'm also confident that 10 years from now someone will be predicting its imminent demise because the water just keeps boiling hotter and hotter.

So we'll keep having this argument (and the argument over whether apps will be installable in the future without Apple's permission), over and again, year after year.
I have the opposite problem. I have to sleep with a watch. Otherwise if I wake up and can't check how much time I have left to sleep, I get anxious that the alarm is about to go off and I can't get back to sleep.

Maybe you don’t have any out of the box ideas that goes against the ideals of corporate America, but I’m certainly glad that other people do.

Imagine if current Twitter was around in Galileo’s time.

* Independent Fact Checkers have confirmed the consensus that the Earth is the center of the Universe, just as God willed it.

Or what if George Washington was relying on social media during the formation of our country?

* Independent Fact Checkers have confirmed that paying taxes to Britain is good and beneficial to the Colonies.

Many good ideas shatter the existing “consensus” dramatically. I’m glad that boundaries can and do get pushed because that’s how we come up with better ideas and systems.
I was kidding with the last part of that sentence but that is just how the world is right now
Interesting. I also worked on an optimizing interpreter and compiler in JavaScript: https://www.iwriteiam.nl/Ha_bf_online.html
That's a (sanitised?) javascript error.
That would meet number 11 on the list.
Pijul would presumably fit well with the development style encouraged by Sourcehut, if you need such a thing. I've never had time to consider integrating Darcs with it.

That's a good point. I think more than one Web is a great idea and desirable.

As far as your questions:

I would trust some people who identify as Republican, but not others. I would trust some people who identify as Democrat, but not others. Out of the two sets, I would trust the ones whom I personally know, and not anyone else, no matter who they say they are.

In the following scenario, I would trust both a Democrat and a Republican fact-checking Trump's claims of election fraud;

[Me] #trust [My friend Alice, whom I trust to assign trust responsibly] #trust [Alices's friend Bob, whom Alice trusts] #trust [...] #trust [Democrat fact-checker] #approve fact-checking report.

Depending on the Bacon number and how many other similar connections there are, I would trust them more or less.

If there are no connections, then I wouldn't trust them beyond the distance I can propel their supposedly human body under my own power in Earth's gravity.
There is very little evidence that fact checking actually works to reduce the impacts of disinformation. See e.g. this study of the impact of Twitter warnings on belief in disonformation:

https://cpb-us-e1.wpmucdn.com/blogs.cornell.edu/dist/c/8659/...

The only known-effective way to deal with disinformation is to remove it.
In many places in the US, summer is the only time of year when going outdoors or opening windows is not tenable.
You're forgetting a aspect: the Constitutional clause has been superseded by the 14th Amendment. So in this case, an originalist would rule based on the Amendment, not the just Constitution's original text.

And this display a crucial point, there is a legal process to amend the Constitution not relying on a few scholars re-re-re-interpretation. I'm all for a Constitutional Amendment on abortion, as long as it's the Will of the People, not the Will of a few jurists. If you can get a Constitutional Amendment for the prohibition of intoxicating beverages, you can certainly get a Constitutional Amendment behind abortion... unless it's less of a consensus as you make it seems. Also, using one's 14th Amendment Right to privacy to "legalize" abortion is a pretty weak argument.

This is the best advice here, by far.

If you don't want to live on $40K/year, another option to consider is getting a lower stress job at a lower salary, while withdrawing $40K/year.
It's fair for Steam to charge that additional 25-30% since you have a choice to use it or not to reach that audience.

If you become popular, you can de-list yourself off of Steam, and continue running on your website for free.

The issue isn't that the app store takes 30% of your purchases to manage payments. If I'm a startup, I don't wanna deal with all of this complexity, so I'm all for it.

What bothers me is that they control everything that's allowed on your phone. If you want to target iPhone users, you have no choice but to go through them.

App stores are great, but forcing companies to go through them is bad.

Allow people to plug in their phones and install apps from their computer. Easy solution, Google phones already allow this with some technical know-how.

Allow other app stores on your phones.
I’d love to work on the AI side of this. Are there any good arms I can buy for not too expensive and start trying out ideas?

Which is myopically focussing on encryption, not identity, signing or authentication. You send your messages in signal to someone, with no means to properly verify whom you are sending to (except if you do a nonsensical secret (because signal doesn't tell you to do it) dance of "send non-secret hello, meet in person, verify fingerprints (which people are supposedly unable to understand), send the secret stuff") or who you are receiving from. Have fun sending all your messages c/o your friendly secret service manipulating the phone number exchange.

There are things signal does better than GPG, and there are things it doesn't do at all. Which nobody tells you about until you are bitten by the resulting problems.
I fall asleep quite easy but I notice a correlation between dreaming or at least ability to remember the dream with how well rested I feel. Also, it seems that I have periods when I dream a lot, essentially every single day and periods like now when I don't.
I suspect connection with screen time as the period I had dreams was when I was reading a physical book before sleep while for the last 2 months I've been reading from Kindle.

A patent on this invention pretty much removes any incentive to develop it further, at least in the foreseeable future.
I wouldn't trust anyone who uses partisan lines to assign trust. And, in a transparent WoT system, I would be able to see them doing this with an easy SQL query. I would then remove any #trust in this individual, and this particular WoT's trust level would be worthless (in my graph.)
UWP is COM + .NET type system, and the basis of modern stuff like WinUI and React Native on Windows.
Most of what makes the M1 interesting is TSMC's 5nm process, why wouldn't we expect similar results from future x86 CPUs on 5nm or smaller.

At least AMD is supporting upstream Linux development for GPU support, if you care about Free software and control over your computers, throw your money at companies better aligned with those goals. Don't reward Apple for being assholes.

<=5nm AMD Zen SoCs will be fantastic as well
Was thinking about that the other day. The purpose of many of these algorithms is to justify deliberate human decisions, not to provide new insight. Similar to business consulting firms that are brought in to recommend "restructuring" when the company wants to fire a bunch of people.

How to Share Files Between a Modern and Classic 68K Mac
To give some context of this incident:

1) A crash with fire and flames has not been seen in F1 in over two decades because of all the safety upgrades and regulations (like no refueling mid-race). Modern F1 cars were presumed by most to withstand such massive impacts without going up in flames.

2) The "Halo" [1] (the titanium ring around the front) which saved the driver's life was only recently introduced in 2016 and was a controversial move with many in the F1 community (including teams and drivers) disapproving of the addition of it. The complaints were mainly about the looks and that the halo infringes upon the basic essence of what an open-cockpit racing car is.

---

To be honest, watching that accident live, it looked almost impossible that the driver would survive it. It is truly a testament to the engineering and the safety standards that the modern F1 community has pushed for.

Also an interesting trivia I just learned:
The driver of the medical car (among the first people on the scene of the accident, and the second person to deploy a fire extinguisher), Alan van der Merwe, participates on HN (avdmerwe).

For some reason there is a lot of taboos about Covid origins and treatments.

- HCQ cannot be working, beacuse Trump;

- Ivermectin cannot work, because it is too cheap and no incentive for research;

- It absolutely cannot be out of the lab, neither as a leak, nor as an engineered virus. Because conspiracy. Notwithstanding that SARS leaked four times from the labs in China, and the fact that the lab was engaging in GoF experiments with SARS-like viruses.

If you get funding to do the Linux to Apple hardware port, have you considered streaming the whole process on e.g. Twitch?

Would be very interesting to watch everything from the sideline. And as a reason to do it, aside from being inspiring and educational to others, by live-streaming your work you will certainly be able to attract even more funding over time.
It's easy to see the potential for abuse for any new technology, but it's much harder to come up with actual uses and worthwhile applications.

This can be one way to stay looking youthful. The problem is that your bone structure changes as you age.

So you’ll end up 80 years old, with baby smooth skin, but still look like an 80 year old. It like you’ll just walk around with someone photoshopping your face.
For those not following up with Windows development, all major new Windows APIS since XP are ActiveX aka COM aka WinRT aka UWP.

You would end up with a weed patch. There is a very natural progression of plants that happens when a piece of land is left unattended. Small grasses, then brambles and bushes, then fast growing trees, then slower growing trees.

There is not really a way to create a space for growing food and/or cultivating anything that doesn't require time. The weather, weeds, pests. These things do not care for the calendars of men.

>No time for make work.

This is the main difference between farm life and work life. Most of my work life, in the office, is spent finding work, or creating work. New initiatives, better processes, etc. These are all things to either improve what already works, or fix what doesn't work that well. Either way, it's make work.

On a farm, the tasks you engage in (outside of hunting or fishing or other fun endeavors) exist solely because the need to exist. I have to create a dead furrow or swale (sp?) or berm, because otherwise the soil will furrow and wash in the next spring rains. I have to build fence on the back 15, because otherwise I cannot pasture that ground in the spring and cannot have cattle. 'I have to' guides the daily/weekly/monthly plans; there is no strategic planning process to keep middle managers busy.
I don't see it that way. My first computer used Win95 and I didn't get into CLI until college and then seriously at work. I'm not a Unix expert, but am blown away by how much more powerful it is than Windows in many uses. I even push files to a Linux server for analysis at times as I can tear through a file with grep/cut/awk/sort/uniq and some pipes very quickly and efficiently. There are many other technologies I know, yet the simple terminal is still the best approach for many of my uses. The design has stood the test of time for a reason and the compositional approach is nice. Nobody is gatekeeping here.
Apple won't support it, therefore support and maintenance will be working around apples proprietary hardware and special drivers. Linux is not meant to live in that environment, I'd argue bettering support for other OEM's is a more fruitfull goal.

Try cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia. The overly simplified summary: restrict your sleep -- just wake up when you wake up -- and don't take naps and go to the bad when you're really really tired. Keep repeating and you'll fall into a natural rhythm of sleep.
