I’ve come to realize that you can’t be a billionaire without either being an ahole or extremely lucky (which means your success had little to do with your actual contribution). In order to accrue that amount of wealth in one lifetime from scratch you have to screw over a lot of people. Yet, our society rewards these behaviors and in fact idolizes them. We do not reward creativity, resourcefulness, goodwill, etc. In fact these behaviors are penalized.

Ideas do not divide societies. Inequality do.

I think you are spot on here. The OP's concern may be due to things like this:

> For example, let’s take a C Standard function that uses intmax_t, imaxabs

It looks like an unusual departure from typical libc functions like strtol(), strtoll(), etc. which have a primary type right in the name. To the untrained eye, intmax_t may look like some promise of portability, when it is actually no more portable than specifying int or long.
I did just that with a DJI Mavic.

Said Knuth, who was literally writing examples in assembly talking about why decrement loops are slightly faster than increment loops in the same section.

IIRC, that section (maybe the same page) was also talking about loop unrolling and counting the number of cycles used in various situations.

Not big O, literally the cycle count in the MIX architecture.
Thank you.
For writing it's still amazing and if it still works in 18 that would be amazing, I did just buy a bigger longer battery via eBay! I don't know why but the keyboard feels so amazing...

A short (AI-is-Racist)-adjacent tale
Back in the 80’s I worked for Verbex, a speech-recognition company attempting to release a product that would recognize all ten digits, when spoken, from ‘zero’ to ‘nine’. We trained it on a huge data set of sample speakers. It worked great… until it was released int the wide world and had a lot of problems recognizing a lot of numbers, especially the number “four”. You see, we purchased the “huge data set of sample speakers” from Digital, A New England Company. And nearly all of the sample speakers were from New England.

I love Kaitai, and use it extensively (outside my day job) for exploring binary file formats of things like DOS games and quilting patterns. About a year ago I wrote a blog entry about using it for scientific data: https://matthewturk.github.io/post/kaitai-struct-scientific-... .

Recently I learned about some pretty cool work using it with respect to high-energy physics:

https://osf.io/2sner/
C99, which introduced `intmax_t`, also requires that a compiler provide a `long long int` of at least 64 bits. So on the bright side, `intmax_t` will be at least 64 bits, and on the down side, you really don't want to use that type on an AVR.
That is exactly right. It also gives them an intellectual martyrdom card and a veneer of coolness. If you want the next hip counterculture that all the kids are into to be Naziism, by all means suppress it.

Nazis don’t deserve to be handed the “2 Live Crew effect.” For those who don’t know this was a mediocre booty rap group whose record went triple platinum after attempts were made to ban it.

A parent poster raised another great point: the echo chambers that are full of this toxic stuff are themselves not free speech zones. They are heavily moderates safe spaces for specific ideologies and cultures. I am not convinced that this stuff would fare so well on a level intellectual playing field. It’s asinine.

On a final note it’s important to point out that the original explosion of e.g. Qanon happened not via some decentralized free speech zone or even the chans (where it was always ironic or a prank for most) but on social platforms with algorithmic timeline.

The algorithmic timeline is what has really ruined online discourse and promoted an explosion of insanity. Discourse on these sites is not equals but is weighted toward what will maximize engagement. Trolling, demagoguery, shock mongering, and various forms of “porn” (outrage porn, fear porn) are what maximizes engagement.

The algorithmic timeline would be extremely hard to implement in a decentralized system. That’s perhaps a good thing. It might look more like the genuinely flat forum world of the old Internet where discourse was comparatively far more reasonable.
Nope - they've never even seem to have been aware of that system, never activate it, and they charge per tire.

At any rate, at least on the cars I've owned, it's been something along the lines "hold down this button on your dash for 30 seconds", so I'd be pretty irate about being charged for that even if they did it.
document.addEventListener("keydown", (e) => {
if (e.ctrlKey && e.code === "KeyA") {
console.log("Shortcut pressed!")
}
})

I qualify the above as easy.

> "Users don't want websites to override their keyboard shortcuts" is so right and so telling!

I mean, it's no different from an OS that has shortcuts that applications shouldn't override. The browser is just one more system layer. That may limit some of the specific shortcuts you may want to use (or not! you can override them if you deem that worthwhile to your users), but it doesn't make things "hard". At my company we solved this by adding Shift to every binding, which browsers hardly ever use.

And again, if you're using Electron, you don't even have to worry about that aspect because your user isn't exposed to the UI "as a website", meaning they won't be reloading, going back/forward, opening new tabs, etc which are the most common browser-level keybindings.
> Personally I'd rather see real-world extensions from gcc and clang moved into the standard which are already battle proven instead of wasting time fixing 30 year old problems.

They’re not. Arabs, Iranians etc. show up as Asian in the US though you’re free to pick whatever you want.
They can't do that because publishing these days is, when you get down to it, all about supply chain contract management. And in particular, my book contracts stipulate in mind-numbing detail precisely how sales will be accounted for (what percentage of net receipts go to me, or to the publisher, depending on volume and/or discount rates). The contracts make hard-coded assumptions about how books are sold that can't readily be rewritten. Also, contracts for different books by the same author may have different T&Cs, never mind contracts issued in different years (occasionally publishers try to "fix" things by turning Legal loose on their inherited contract boilerplate, usually with questionable results because they invariably make a massive land-grab and then the bigger literary agents all lawyer up and arm-wrestle for a better deal for their clients).

It's bad enough that at least one of the Big Five (to my definite knowledge, as I work with them) has fired up an internal start-up publisher, mostly using the same editorial team and production facilities, but where the distinguishing characteristic is that (a) they totally rewrote their book contracts to make it possible to do new and exciting stuff, and (b) target ebook sales as a primary channel. (Disclaimer: this is my primary publisher in the US market right now and I'm very happy with the way things are going.)

But when you're dealing with multinational publishing corporations you've got to bear in mind they have tens of thousands of book contracts going back decades which can't easily be dragged around onto a new business model, and they suffer from activist shareholders and an ever-constant threat of hostile takeover (see the ongoing Simon and Schuster takeover by Penguin Random House).

No, the full feature-set is available offline. You can browse your repos and any other repo you replicated, and push/pull. What offline means is simply that your changes won't immediately be replicated to peers. But the full app experience (Read and write) works offline.
This comment is spot on, people who jump to the conversation with the argument that Git is already decentralised don't understand where the most value is captured when it comes to collaboration. It's the social artifact, issues, PRs, etc. And the cost of migrating the community of a project/organisation and their social artifacts is a massive cost, carrying the risk of splitting the community and or stifling any other progress to stay relevant.
You can counter misinformation on a particular topic scalably by gathering a set of authoritative sources of information on it, and presenting them in places where there is discussion about that topic (ex. YouTube putting COVID info links on videos). Now of course some people won't believe that information, but those people weren't going to have their mind changed regardless of what you do.

I'm curious to what extent that article is intended to be taken seriously. It makes a lot of big claims and uses a lot of very charged language without much substance to back it up.

The implication that trans women are good at computer science because most languages use 0-indexed arrays sounds like pseudoscientific numerology to me. As well as their claim that using the yannic bit 0 is a way of rising above the phallic "1".
It should be

intmax_t val = imaxabs(original);

> At the top of an economic cycle, governments are collecting their peak tax revenues — yet even so, many are still running large fiscal deficits and have large existing public debts.

They’re also spending more than they ever have before in history.

> The LVT is not the same as a property tax, as it does not punish those who put the land to use; it taxes only the land, not the structure built on top of it.

I’m not convinced this is that different than what’s happening now. For a $1m house in the Bay Area, only a quarter or a third of that value is the structure.

> However, most of all, it is one of the rare taxes that does not diminish economic activity, and in fact stimulates it.

How do they arrive at this conclusion? A bakery that’s been around for 100 years finds itself in a hip part of town (which maybe it helped foster), and then has to move out because the only type of business that can support the LVT in the area is luxury apartments. The higher the LVT, the more risk of a monoculture in land usage, not the other way around.
So how exactly do we correctly set HDR on Windows?

You have the HDR/SDR brightness balance to set and the monitor's own contrast adjustments.
I've looked at this problem quite a bit over the years...I agree with you completely. there isn't anything fundamental here, just the normal cultural adoption issues, usability, etc. There may be some compilation/complexity issues around formats with variable length fields and self-description, but certainly less problematic than general purpose programming.

I really wish though that there were more traction here, as I really believe that we should be quite prepared do deal with bits and not protobufs by default. nothing wrong with protobufs for quite a number of uses. I just don't know why people are so afraid of and/or biased against bit strings.

LG and Samsung both have nasty habits of hosting their downloads in South Korea, where while their internet connectivity within the country is amazing, their access to the outside leaves a lot to be desired. They're in a tough spot to serve geographically since they're effectively an island and the closest big country (China) isn't somewhere you'd want to have your cables going though. My understanding is IIRC they largely connect to Japan and perhaps Singapore.

If we set it up right[1] the cars share data/experience so that each one learns from the whole fleet. A novel situation will only be novel once, for one car, then all the rest will be able to handle similar future situations "by the book".

[1] I don't think manufacturers of self-driving cars (and can we please call them "auto-autos"!?) should compete on safety, rather, I think it should be mandated legally that they have to share data on crashes with a view to preventing further crashes. Like the aviation industry, eh?

Misinformation, by mistake or intention, is bad. But without freedom to publish and speak, nothing can be done about it. This is especially true when the government is spreading the misinformation. Soviet Russia jokes aside, without freedom of speech and press, our soon to be former president would have been able to spread misinformation with impunity. It's really remarkable that this happened.

The other side of this, that most people don't like to discuss is that people are also free to believe misinformation and lies. It's hard, but that is actually part of the human condition.

LVT has to be mixed with an occupancy tax however. If I own a large field capable of supporting 10 homes right in the middle of the suburbs, I shouldn't be paying the equivalent taxes that 10 households should be paying. You have to separate out the taxes used to pay for services like trash from the taxes meant for ownership of the land. (although you could argue that large parts of the government are needed to service, protect, and legislate ownership of land)

It's certainly fascinating... ETH enables a collateral-less loan, which is wild, and something I'd point towards for skeptics who "haven't seen one use case crypto/blockchain enables that couldn't be done with a client-server model".

The reason I say it verges on illicit, is that the most profitable flash-loan trades I've read about usually depend on some form of market manipulation and special knowledge about price oracles. They're not illicit in their own right, and can be a great tool for arbitrageurs I imagine.

It could be a function of their integrated graphics approach with the M1 (SoC), as opposed to simply having the right ports. That's just a guess, however.

OK, here's how you make a smart TV, essentially. Take a dumb tv with some ports attached to it, plug a chromecast into one of the ports, and then pour epoxy over the whole thing.

Your argument is that this adds value to the chromecast dumb tv pair, despite being a fundamentally destructive operation.

You could sort of get an idea from the CDC recommendations but one of the things that was probably a little bit surprising when some of the recommendations started coming out was that they were less age-based than you might have thought.

Of course, essential workers and other people who are vulnerable because of health or >65 age go first. But then populations who are vulnerable because of community spread or even potentially because they're going to be out and about a lot like younger people are probably ahead of a 60 year old without other risk factors who lives in a lower risk area.
> The problem in the Bay Area is simply that tax is not reassessed regularly.

No, tax-basis value is assessed annually. However, increases in assessed value are limited to a maximum of 2% per year outside of certain events qualifying for full-value assessment of the property or particular improvements. (And this is statewide, not Bay Area specific).

The "field of philosophy" is different from "spirituality/personal philosophy/meaning of life/etc". If you want an introduction to philosophy, you could start with logic/reasoning/plato/pre-socratics/etc. It will help you think rationally and logically. But it won't give you answers to "life's bigger questions". It'll give you tools to think about them and introduce you to what others think/believe/etc.

If you want the answers to "life's bigger questions", then you are really talking about religion rather than philosophy.

> For a $1m house in the Bay Area, only a quarter or a third of that value is the structure.

So the first problem is zoning, but imagine if zoning is fixed. Now the taller the building is, the smaller the portion of the taxable value derives from the land itself.

The fact of the matter is single family suburbia is a scourge, and we need redevelopment not more development. We can subsidize affordable housing, or we can structure the taxes such that the only economical thing to do is massively denser buildings immediately. The latter is better because it is simpler and less subject to regulatory capture.
