Saccades are under voluntary control. They're the fast movements when you switch where you look.

There are microsaccades that are similar but don't seem to have any target we understand. In general these, and other microeyemovements like tremors and drifts, are not very well understood, and even their existence can be somewhat quoestioned.

Low pass filters are somewhat problematic for eye movements because the altenating slow and fast movements.

As a shameless plug here's what I think is still the state-of-the-art method for filtering eye movement data: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-017-17983-x
FsCheck maintainer here.

I'd very much welcome contributions on documentation, and esp. on approaches of how to keep the C#/F# documentation consistent and still accessible for both types of users. Even if it's just ideas/comments - how would you like the documentation presented? What are examples of excellent C# documentation? We need to balance that with available resources - we don't have a team of ghostwriters to write docs and examples for every language, as you can imagine. I know it's a cliche by this time, but if every user would take a couple minutes to write a paragraph or example where e.g. the C# docs are lacking, it might be in a much better state. From our side, if something is stopping you from contributing in this way, we'd like to hear about it. Addressing that is important.

Separately, I'm surprised you experienced that generators are significantly more tedious to write in C# vs F# - could you open an issue with a few examples of this? This would inform v3.0 where we will stop trying to use tricks to make the F# API accessible, but instead add a bespoke C#/VB.NET API in the FsCheck.Fluent namespace, and separating F#'y bits in FsCheck.FSharp.

I live in hope that, one day, TS will loosen its links to JS.

Things like `Object.keys` irritate me because they don’t compose well. What would go wrong if TS started supporting `Object.prototype.keys`? Could even be implemented as a rewrite using `Object.keys`.

You're right it is a unofficial "flash player". I guess the original player was some sort of VM since it ran some byte code.
Right.

She had a Windows Phone for years because you could zoom-in the tiles and thus increase touch targets for quick dialing. That eventually broke down, too, because of lack of haptic feedback and, well, we all can hardly imagine how hard it is to navigate a device like that when everything's so blurry you cannot see the space between huge-ass tiles on a, what, 6" screen or so.
I used to connect terminals to this kind of benchtop data system:

https://digital.sciencehistory.org/works/4j03d056k

The first multi-user multi-tasking computer that would fit on a _desk_.

1MHz, 16K of 32bit memory.

Weighed over 50lbs.

It was designed to be compatible with the VT-100 since there was a mode where the system used special escape codes from the remote terminal to substitute for instrument function keys on the local console keyboard. Manually or by script once smart terminals came out.

To save memory each user could run multiple instances of the same basic program plus more than one basic program at a time.

His one chromatograph is mainly not pictured, it is to the left of the data system and weighed about 80lbs.

I couldn't stop laughing at this page, so dramatic.
Raoul Wallenberg was allegedly thrown into a psychiatric ward in Russia when he came on a political visit, and held there till the end of his life.

The incentives may change by country, but it is pretty common to setup wards like prisons, for practical reasons. And that can be abused, as every form of power will eventually be.
I've wanted to try that, yeah. Heard a lot of good stuff about it :)
I'll have to check that out with my doc, thanks for the recommendation!
I think failing to some extent is fine, if the feedback is good and the device returns to a clean state. Even on a phone with buttons, she sometimes fat-fingers the wrong button super close to the phone-book-down key and ends up in the main menu, scrolls down 10x, then tries to hit the dial button for e.g. display settings. Phone appears broken because it just doesn't dial, and neither resets itself for invalid input so she could start over. She has no mental map of the various other states the phone might be in, and in confusion forgets that the hang-up button also returns to the home screen. Things are less than ideal.
> That’s not a great definition of “slave labour” because, for starters, “getting paid” and “ability to change jobs” are not binary.

One has to understand these are the very same people who stand by when they see Apple use contractors and deny them pay and just think 'oh well...' and go back to working for Apple and then through a convoluted form of mental gymnastics compartmentalize things to such an extent that they cannot see themselves as a critical part of the problem (even when those very people being exploited at their countrymen and something their parents fled to to the West for because of an acute form of diffusion of responsibility.

It's an illness and a reflection of a very sick Society, to think that small restaurant owners aren't labouring under some very convoluted form of slave labour at the hand of the State and Federal government is beyond me. They went into so much debt, and aren't working for money, simply the survival of the business in the face of forced consolidation by massive Industry and tech conglomerates.

And the fact that this is ok amongst so many in Society goes to show how slavery never went away, it just got obfuscated and presents itself in more tolerable and palatable forms for the majority of people once they reach a certain point (or the illusion of it) in Life.

You can't walk away for from a loan where you used your and your family's house as collateral, and the fact that most of these owners aren't even breaking even and just going into further debt because of continued lockdowns that the very politicians who enacted them (Newson, Pelosi et all in CA) are on tape showing how they think they're exempt for them shows how diffusion of responsibility better than anything else how slavery just changed flavours with the same ingredients.
not true, I have started a blog and hosted it on blogspot at first but wasn't satisfied with the style in general and the lack of customization so I built my own in bootstrap + php and hosted it on a 5€/month Server. No tracking, no ads, no external libraries, no referral links, no monetization.

After switching to my own I re-wrote one of the articles of my old blogspot posts (word for word) and because my custom solution was so much easier on the eye, the post picked up and I got TV and Radio interview requests, etc.

Even reddit and hn hugs and thousands of concurrent users didn't bring it down.

I don't see how that risk has increased. It's pretty normal for police officers to call paramedics and mental health professionals in when subjects show signs of mental issues and substance abuse (there are even laws requiring them in some places). If the subject is in lockup or on the street by the time they arrive makes no difference since they have the exact same power to involuntarily commit them.

Now, whether that power is something that should be more regulated is a different question entirely. I believe there is an appeal process for being committed and it can go to trial, so it's not like it's entirely authoritarian. If signs of abusing this power are found, then of course, something should be done about it, but again, who was the first respondent really doesn't matter in that discussion.

EDIT: I read the linked article and holy shit, the US health system really is fucked. Honestly, when the incentives are that misaligned, I can see why you were worried (I was looking at this from a 1st world perspective; mild offense at the US intended). Maybe it would be smart to add an additional sanity check to the STAR system, but of course, until your healthcare mess is sorted, that's like putting a bandaid over a stab wound.
Having to account for responsiveness kills a lot of creativity regardless of the tools used. Amateurs also used to hand craft unique and interesting Geocities websites but responsiveness has really hampered how easy and accessible that is.
There was a regulated way for astronauts to take personal stuff with them (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_preference_kitb http://spaceflownartifacts.com/flown_ppks.html. Note that these bags had a part number, showing how well planned this was).

That likely was done because it helped, psychologically.

What you put in those bags had to be approved, so things got smuggled in, too (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_items_smuggled_into_sp...). I think that was somewhat known, and ‘allowed’, again for psychological reasons.

> Have you considered some people actually ENJOY the work, leisure, convenience, busy-ness and thrill of fast paced modern life?

I wouldn't consider the modern system of wage-slavery to be a life of leisure, convenience, and certainly not enjoyable for the thrill of a fast paced modern-life. As the above commenter observed, the lifestyle of the modern worker is anything but leisurely and thrilling, rather, more reminiscent of the life of a caged bird. While this may not be true for the privileged, for millions of factory workers this is an everyday reality.

> Technology is as essential to utopia as milk is to milkshake. Your cynicism has destroyed your sense of LIFE!

My take on this is more similar to what the author of culture.io's manifesto wrote:

"To blindly reject technology is to reject an aspect of our humanity. To blindly embrace technology is similarly misguided. We should approach technology in the same way we approach any other human system: by evaluating how it supports or undermines individual well-being."

Technology aids the development of the utopia, but to simply accept all forms of technological development as beneficial for humanity is short-sighted. Indeed, in the words of the author, "The point is simply that we should always treat individuals as ends, never as means." If the utopia is not individual-centric, then it is no utopia at all. Therefore, if technological innovation comes at the cost of the livelihood and well-being of individuals, then we must reject it.

This, I think, was what the above commenter was communicating and what I agree with.
I can see that, but we rely on a bunch of system libraries (libjpeg/zlib, + optional libtiff/freetype/etc, and python headers as well). Pretty much by definition, if we don't provide binaries, it's not going to be that simple.

I'd say maybe 25-50% of developer linux workstations have the appropriate packages and will compile out of the box, and if they don't, it's almost always a one line command to install them with a package manager. We've got instructions or docker images for testing for most major linux distros.

MacOS is probably in the 5-10% range for successfully compiling out of the box, some of the headers ship with MacOS, but there are a couple steps to go through. M1 is still a WIP in the python packaging community.

Windows... 0% compile out of the box. You have to set it up, download dependencies and so on. There are at any one time a handful of people who can compile for the windows platform, and a smaller handful of people who can debug problems.

Now, to be fair, I think this project is probably in the most complicated 1% of python projects from a packaging point of view. There are probably more complicated ones, and the only two complications I'm aware of that we don't have to deal with are 1) The chicken and egg of if we break an update we lose the ability to update all the other packages including our own (pip) and 2) GPU drivers.
I'll support anything that means more nations.
I always think about uplinks when I hear about "guaranteed" bandwidths to users, fiber to the home and such. Maybe I can get 1 Gbps to the next hop but can you realistically expect the uplink to be n times 1 Gbps? Also I guess it wouldn't be economically feasible to provide uplinks that can cope with that. Can anyone expand on the technological assumptions (average saturation etc) and the economics of such ISP setups?

So it could be said they are an average car (in the sense that their quality is neither exceptional nor bad enough to be considered poor).

> EVs are not for everybody. But if they fit your automotive use case, when you need a car for transportation duties rather than the kind of pleasure that comes from driving a high-performance combustion-driven vehicle, they are so clearly the future.

We do agree they are the future, keyword being future. If you buy one today that's what you want to be seen as buying and are ready to suffer the pain points for it. That's what I call making a statement.

fn main() {
let (oh, woe, is, me) = ("the", "Turbofish", "remains", "undefeated");
let _: (bool, bool) = (oh<woe, is>(me));
}

So we have four strings, one named "oh", one named "woe", one named "is" and one named "me".

(varA, varB)

is a tuple in Rust that contains two variables, named varA and varB.

oh < woe

Is checking to see if "oh" is less than "woe"

is > (me)

is checking to see if "is" is greater than "me" (ignore the extra parentheses.

So:

(oh<woe, is>(me))

with some more spacing to make it easier to see, and with the extra parentheses removed is:

(oh < woe, is > me)

Basically it creates a tuple with the result of the above comparisons.

I just flicked an email to the ceo of a company I'm an investor that could become a huge customer.

> Sisolak named Blockchains, LLC as a company that had committed to developing a “smart city” in an area east of Reno after the legislation has passed.

This will end well.
The justification for function-scope instead of block-scope is that only the former really works if you have implicit variable declarations.

In turn, implicit variable declarations (using the same syntax for initialisation and assignment) are a reasonable choice for a language that aimed to be “executable pseudocode” and that supports mixing initialisation and assignment in a single statement (e.g. `a, b, self.c = foo()`).

What I don't understand is why there needs to be a public shared list of suffixes. Couldn't a cookie attribute define the suffix itself?

I find the tone to be strange.

Local governments in most US states already have authority comparable to much bigger territorial subjects in other countries, and this is nothing new.

So, it is completely in the spirit of the law if their Nevadan laws give their local government authority to, say, make Samsung a mayor of a city.

If Nevadans don't like that, they can take away that authority from local governments.

Our Wireless NBN install in rural(ish, 1 hour from a capital city) Australia went from 25mbps to 0.1-0.5mbps and has sat there for 2 years until we gave up calling them monthly to complain, and switched to a 4G booster and just tethered to our phones.

Due to blatant corruption there’s zero competition for broadband here, just resellers of the same system.

If Starlink can even sustain 20mbps+ and rolls out to rural Australia they’ll pretty much own the market, let alone similar stories across the entire globe.

Considering it doesn’t require any infrastructure, I can’t see how our tech-illiterate decrepit government can stop it. Just sell the modems online and ship directly worldwide.
