There are both cheaper and far more expensive displays used for graphics design to special effects and major film mastering. In this case, Apple seems to be trying to bridge the gap with the XDR and create a new middle tier of price and functionality.

As for bleeding edge, Apple has pioneered plenty of technology. It's true that it builds upon foundations of technical designs and scientific discoveries by others but that applies to every other company as well. Very few organizations are capable of going straight from invention in a science lab to large scale commercial product all by themselves. If you judge by how much "new" technology has actually reached consumers though, Apple is clearly leading the field.
The problem I found in reading, or general media consumption is, you'll very likely to directly take everything the authoritative figures say, without resolving internally, if you don't have strong personal philosophy yet. I hate to talk with people who quote Hegel or Kant all the time, using them as natural laws. Even I agree with some of it and respect them a lot, I don't think in essence they're more valuable than any random homeless people say. There are people who read a ton but have the poorest mind. The same goes to artists, there're a ton of artists who read a lot, watched a lot and listened to a lot but still make absolute crap.

I think getting into the field of philosophy is very different from developing a personal philosophy. The "field" sounds to me like you'll be talking to other people who study philosophy, and you're expected to read certain materials to stay literal. But to develop your own personal philosophy there's no requirements about what you need to read. I consider myself to have strong personal philosophy, where I have a general rule / ideal mindset that explains everything (ideal meaning I might not act to what I believe in), and my philosophies are the direct reason that I'm always very happy in life (which is my primary goal). I rarely talk to other people about these, so I consider myself not in the field of philosophy.

So no, I don't think there's a general clear path to develop a personal philosophy. What is personal philosophy? It's your own personal way of living. I would say it's a lot luck, either you found it or not. It's possible to read something, or watched something that coincidentally matched very well with your underlying personal philosophy that you haven't discovered yourself yet, and discovered a bit after experiencing those, so my only advise would be stay honest with yourself, keep reading / watching / listening to whatevery you're most interested in. Personally I think the film First Love: The Litter on the Breeze (1998), 20th Century Nostalgia (1997) and The Troubleshooters (1988) helped me discover my personal philosophy, but that's highly personal, just written here for reference (also recommend to everyone because they're good).
Having the option of writing

\(x) x+1

instead of

function(x) x+1

not only saves a few keystrokes.

It will also produce shorter, and clearer, lines of code.

What I don’t understand is the reference to “formula syntax”. What is the issue and how does the new syntax solve it?

What was communicated on social media was that the company had fired her, but it appears that the researcher tied the continuation of her work to the company accepting her conditions. The company did not accept.

In poker terms: one party bluffed and the other party called the bluff.

Now whether the clauses were abusive and the company was compelled to satisfy these conditions is left to lawyers, I suppose. I'm not privy to more details to have an opinion one way or the other.

I like emojis quite a bit, and I suspect many other people do to. I'd be sad if the CLI tools I use today stopped outputting them, and I feel their output would lose a lot of clarity.

Many people are more visually oriented, and are greatly aided by images and color. A standard `NO_EMOJIS` environment variable could perhaps be used to help both camps, just like `NO_COLOR` is available today.

LVT is a great idea.

I'd also like to see more general resource use taxes (i.e taxes on raw materials like water, oil, aluminum etc.). They could be adjusted based on economic conditions (instead of playing shell games with interest rates) and adjusted for external effects. Make it formulaic. Open source, everyone can see how it works and who adjusted and how and it's not a closed door XX party with input from lobbyists.

Among other good effects I see this encouraging efficient use and recycling.

Reddit before user-moderated subreddits was far more pleasant, not that they're exactly at fault but they widened the audience just like eternal september & signal:noise, or signal:bullshit, ratios never recovered. There are still 'good' subreddits but above a surprisingly tiny community size they degrade rapidly & irreversably. What shocks me the most is if you log out well over 1/2 the front page content is at schadenfreude, it's awful.
Philosophy is a huge field, and you first need to figure out what part of philosophy you're interested in.

Moral and political philosophy is one area of philosophy -- Plato, Aristotle, Kant, Mill, etc. That's more practical, and associated with probably the majority of the "names" you've heard of.

But then there's philosophy around deeper things like how we know things, what knowledge is, debates over free will, etc. Epistemology, metaphysics, etc.

Those two areas of philosophy have virtually nothing to do with each other.

Then you talk about "mental models" which isn't philosophy at all -- that's psychology.

And when you talk about developing a "personal philosophy" I don't know what that means -- it sounds more like religion or spirituality perhaps?

But honestly I'd start with Wikipedia. Just start with the "Philosophy" article and start following links until you find the stuff that seems to resonate. (Also look up the article for "Mental Model", and especially check out all the "See also" links at the bottom.)
To put an interesting spin on this question for those considering it:

"What other online communities maintain high standards using the dedicated effort of tool-assisted human moderators?"

MetaFilter and RPG.net are two good examples of this.

Reddit as a whole is not — though individual specific groups may choose to apply a more strict hand and are invaluable for it.

I miss webrings, and discovering small communities through them.
This article is really great. Thank you to the author for writing all this information up in a nice organized and clear way. Like the author, i've only seen most of this info scattered around various videos and articles hidden in with a bunch of other stuff and there's a ton of info i've never read before and all the examples from modern indie games are great.

The thing that taught me the most about scrolling was playing around with hacking metroid and super metroid. Scrolling in super metroid is fairly sophisticated, if still limited by hardware.

Learning to figure out the scrolling PLMs was a big part of figuring out how to make your rooms flow without breaking. In the vanilla super metroid, the scrolling system is used to pretty good effect to conceal secrets or build tension.

Up until doing some rom hacking, i'd never really appreciated scrolling before. I'd used modern engines that pretty much handled all that stuff for you, but it wasn't until peeking back at older games did it really become apparent just how big a deal scrolling is and how much effort is actually put into making good scrolling.
The big moral problem I have with a recurrent tax on assets like land or improvements on land (buildings) is that it erodes the fundamental right to private ownership. What does it mean to own anything if policies can retroactively apply taxes to it or continually extract taxes and ultimately take that asset away from you? That’s simply not compatible with a free society and it amounts to theft in my opinion.
It's an unpopular opinion depending on what you're recommending.

Telling someone "read the Nicomachean Ethics by Aristotle" will lead someone to just pick up any copy of the Nicomachean Ethics. There are a lot of translations of the Nicomachean Ethics and they are not all equal. They range from very good translations, to idiosyncratic readings of the text, to flat out bad translations.

Beyond poor translations, the ancients that you've recommended are good to start with and the recommendation to read the primary sources of them is just fine. Those texts are easy to digest without having a formal background in philosophy.

But for other philosophers (e.g. Nietzsche, Kierkegaard, Hegel), telling someone to just "pick up one of their primary texts" is a disaster. It will either (a.) be complete gibberish to the reader without any context and they may just give up, or worse, (b.) they think they'll understand something without the proper context and spew nonsense in regards to that philosopher (this is why there are so many bad readings of Nietzsche).

So depending on what you're recommending, primary sources can be good, but in my experience, primary sources aren't good most of the time. Moreover, if someone is interested in a specific field like the OP is, then having a good secondary source can be extremely helpful to give someone an overview and proper understanding of the topic.
I’d second the first two as also great.

I’d add:

https://www.persuasion.community/

Which was a community started by Youscha Mounk.

https://www.persuasion.community/about

“ Persuasion is a publication and community for everyone who shares three basic convictions:

We seek to build a free society in which all individuals get to pursue a meaningful life irrespective of who they are.

We believe in the importance of the social practice of persuasion, and are determined to defend free speech and free inquiry against all its enemies.

We seek to persuade, rather than to mock or troll, those who disagree with us.

In the past years, the political and intellectual energy has been with illiberal movements. Too often, the advocates of free speech and free institutions have been passive, even fatalistic. It is high time for those of us who believe in these enduring ideals to stand up for our convictions.”

> ... in essence forcing landowners to always use the land in a way which extracts the maximum amount of money from it ...

That incentive already exists, landholders typically use their land in a high-value way. If you cast your eye on Europe there are a large contingent of undeserving people who have generations of wealth that they secure through owning land, which does not degrade over time. The big win of a land tax is about breaking ultra-low-risk inter-generational wealth transfer. If wealth is transferred between generations there at least has to be some level of competent management demonstrated by each new layer of the family tree.

There is an old saying:

"Be yourself. But always be your better self."

People are complex, with many facets. Sometimes they act one way, sometimes they act another, and both of those can be true to the good, flawed, and inconsistent being that we are. We have better sides, and they are just as a part of ourselves as our flawed sides.

I have an anxious manager in my organization, and he is the best manager by far. No immoralities, a bit too much yes-saying, but also occasional no's.

I loved running when my weight bottomed out(168 for a 5'10" frame). As a former fat kid who never ran a mile and always found a health reason to escape PE class it was amazing. It didn't last long though. I met my wife and started gaining weight, and soon I was back to where running hurt like hell.

Now I hike, and I love that. I don't think I'll ever lose enough muscle and fat to get down to where running feels good again.
Yeah. The direction we are taking is nuts. Is it because of incompetent web developers? For everybody: do not take it personally.

I think twitter is a better representation of the actual ML community than HN. Yes, her reputation suffered amongst a group predisposed to consider her area of research to be something between not real and propaganda (both sentiments I've seen expressed and upvoted!).
The idea of a LVT is that valuable land should an efficient use - the obvious example of inefficiency are the upper middle class neighborhoods on the SF Peninsula - Silicon Valley. The aggressive zoning and relatively low tax situation mean that it's impossible for people who get job in Silicon Valley to live there, causing crazy spill over to the rest of the SF Bay Area. Theoretically, forcing up taxes would force more efficient uses of land - allow the building of apartment high rises and so generally increase the affordability of housing.

But that's theoretically. Whether you could actually impose this regime is a different matter. What the "real" value of land isn't a clear thing thing imo. A town might that since it's zoning prevents building much, it's land isn't worth much.
Insurers assess improvement value. Land is not insured, because it really can't be destroyed. If you house burns down, the land is still there. The only thing you lost is the house.

I'm not replying to detract from your point, because I agree with you whole heartedly that competing ecosystems are not mature enough to dethrown C++ if you're someone who is pragmatic and wants to get things done. C++ has an enormous number of high quality libraries with often no equivalents in competing languages.

There are some compelling ECS frameworks emerging in Rust if anyone is interested, though.

No doubt. I'm not trying disparage other options.

My point is that PHP literally only requires a single file to work. No cli commands. No 3rd-party packages. No configuration files. Just PHP.
I think you're taking the wrong point away, which is that the causal implication here runs from "wide availability of a substance -> addiction to that substance".

It doesn't say anything about whether a traumatized group will or won't take to substances; it just denies that all addiction is the result of trauma.

The other open question here - I assume you're referring to remote Indigenous communities in Australia - is whether people use substances strictly out of trauma or also out of boredom. The degree to which Indigenous lives are rendered both traumatic but also incredibly boring is shocking. If you've gotten a low quality education, don't have a job and your traditional way of life is no longer viable (it's quite likely you haven't been taught it), how are you going to pass the time?

I don't use int64_t and expect it to exist. I use int64_t and expect compilation to fail if stdint.h doesn't define it. It would be a problem, but much less of a problem than using intWhatever_t, having compilation work, but having no idea what the bounds were.

intmax_t doesn't define an upper limit either, as TFA explains, because you don't know at runtime what the limit really is.
This works to a certain degree. Often, many of the users contributing in "bad subreddits" also post on "good subreddits". This makes it so that many aspects of "reddit culture" leak into the good subs, for example, the repetitive inside jokes and puns redditors seem to enjoy.
I'm curious what mechanisms it proposes.

One of the funner ones I've heard of is that the owner and payer of the property tax performs the valuation of the land: it makes implementation pretty much free and uncontroversial! The only caveat is that whatever value the owner lists as the value is an amount they must accept for the land in a sale (plus some meaningful fee to drive off trolls).

So, sure, you can list the value of the land of your Pac Heights mansion as $1 and pay a commensurate tax on that. If you do, though, someone can purchase it for $1 and start charging you a hefty use fee.
Where does this 72% come from? Is there a list of TVs which behave like this?
Here's a reply[0] to a question that asked about directory structure.

Ignore the programming/technology part.

Military books (such as "One Bullet Away" by Nathaniel Fick or "Generation Kill" by Evan Wright which was turned into a mini-series on HBO). Field manuals can be interesting and you can learn a lot from them.

Knot books.

"Duty: Memoirs of a Secretary at War" by Robert Gates is interesting.

"The Art of Intelligence", by Henry Crumpton.

"Diplomacy" by Henry Kissinger is an interesting read. It starts with the balance of power in Europe, raison d'état, Richelieu, "U.S. exceptionalism". It is well written.

Did you read the article? If you had, you might have noticed the phrase “Hindu-Arabic numerals“ being used. Shockingly, cultures do tend to build on the works of others.

The reason it is tagged “Islamic” is presumably because the golden age of Persian/Arabic science happened in unison with the early rise of Islam, along with a blooming of industry and culture in general. This may not have been coincidental. The early Islamic world was a lot more inquisitive and open-minded than the western world of the time. It wasn’t till a couple centuries later that reactionary religious conservatism gained the upper hand; and several centuries more before Europe would best its own reactionary religious conservatism in shape of the Renaissance.

Physicist Jim al-Khalili has written on the subject:

The feature only works on P3 displays, so gamut when displaying UI (which I'd assume is nominally within the smaller sRGB space) likely isn't an issue.

Also, per later comments, this feature only kicks in when you're actually viewing SDR content, so there's no downside (even contrast) in everyday use.

Some people are just terrible and they can't fake being otherwise.
You don’t need a great deal of precision with a land value tax. If the closest properties where sold at X$/ acre that’s a solid suggestion of the actual value of that land.

The goal is essentially to separate the value of land based on local infrastructure like subway systems from the amount of effort put into improving the property. An empty lot that’s worth 10,000$ per acre may physically look the same as an empty lot worth 10,000,000$ per acre, but it’s clear society not the property owner generated that value is.

That said, there are a lot of edge cases like beach front property vs having another house in front.
