The image of a utopia where all disease are stopped in their tracks, where there is enough food and shelter for nearly 50 billion humans and where every nook an cranny is infested with homo sapiens and they live and breed incessantly and whose ideas never die, where most other species become extinct and where nature is confined to artificial habitats makes me smile. Yes we can do it! And yes we will do it if nothing stops us. I'm glad I won't live enough to be part of it.

I don’t make friends as easily as hating on any technology but I do make friends easily on kindness. Hi! I learned a lot great and not great working with DRF. Kind of took it and ran with it on TypeScript and Node. Working on a much better HTTP interface for that platform.
It will be standalone. Probably more powerful than Snapdragon XR2 powered devices like Quest 2.
Is that a crack about complexity? C doesn’t have very many features.
Unironically, your best option is GTK. I've found that it generates consistent looking UIs for Linux and Windows (my main build targets) without totally ruling out MacOS

I teach a composition class at an art college and one of the common assignments is to find bad art and fix it utilizing the basic rules of composition. The Museum of Bad Art is an excellent resource for that assignment.
Some new stuff in 3.9: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0585/

Basically they alias all of the old builtins like list to typing.List etc. (Or maybe one should say the goal is to un-alias the alternative type system in typing-module and only use the original builtins).

It can be useful when you for example want to create a type alias like UserList = typing.List[User], which was possible even before, the change is that it now affects the old builtin also, so things that were previously syntax errors are now valid type aliases. Usually such alias assignements are more useful once you have more complex generics with nested dicts and stuff.
I'm intimately aware of the service. I don't hold out much hope for mental health engagements that begin forcefully under immediate threat of arrest for not playing along. The anti-social/anti-authority person should only be encouraged to seek moral guidance voluntarily from an authority they trust, some things in a community need to be kept sacred and honest.
I actually really like TS's type system precisely because it is insanely flexible.

I can write statically typed code that easily shapes & reshapes objects & code that fits functional or object oriented programming styles.

It's a statically typed language that feels dynamic.

Now, if I were to get a version of TS without all of JS's crutches that would be amazing.

Deno is pretty close, but it lacks on performance & is bounded in potential by JS (in some aspects).
I suspect it also future proofs them a little. People will be less afraid of using Docker tools if they think the tools could outlive Docker the company.
I don't think the floppy driver will be removed any time soon, at least to keep parity with Windows and Mac.

For people curious, it looks like they are discussing it in the community but only the mod is involved and I don't think they (Herohtar) are an employee. While the block was unintentional this doesn't seem like the right way to handle the situation and Moxie should have been clearer and that would have avoided the issue. It is easy to interpret the response given as being brushed off.

TLDR: DuckSoft got autobanned because they typed too fast (copy pasted their post into the forum) and had a false positive from spam detection. No comment yet from devs on issue.

Edit: removed my personal preference that seems to be being confused as saying Signal should use GitHub. Signal can do what they want, that's fine. But be clear.

Classic confinement (no sandboxing) because an IDE needs to access tons of stuff from your system (the compilers, your projects, etc).
So, the rust language developers made some syntax choices in early versions of rust, and when those choices are extended to their natural conclusion the result is that specifying type arguments is a bit more awkward than one might like in some circumstances. This topic is full of nuance, tradeoffs, history, and backwards compatibility; instead of simply lamenting or encouraging endless debate on the choice, the author opted to build a temple around it instead. A piece of art that unapologetically explains the concequence yet still pays homage to the nuance.
Denmark has been doing this for years. It's not a perfect solution but it hasn't been a complete disaster either.

That so-called hostility seems to be pretty one-sided IMO. The response from the Signal dev seemed pretty calm and reasonable, but OP seemed to take it as a personal insult for no reason.

Some projects don't want to discuss issues on GitHub and prefer a forum they have control over; that's totally understandable.
Neat. How does this compare and/or relate to Corellium’s efforts to bring up Linux on the M1?

> Also, honestly, why not use GitHub issues. I find issues useful.

Some people would prefer to use their own issue tracker or discussion forum. I don't see that as strange at all, given that with GH issues you don't have full control over the data or experience.
... and all built since 1945, an as-exact-as-possible copy of the city that had previously existed, in the same place, in 1943. It took decades of devoted work by thousands of people who loved their city, and needed to realize it again before they took their memories to the grave.

Not at all. It's technology that got us out of caves.

Besides, we live a life unimaginable even 100 years ago. I mean that literally, having read scifi of the time.
I think the visual qualities of current high-end VR headsets are limited by the optical systems. 2K/eye is already reached their limitation even at the center of the view (Pimax released the 4K/eye headset, but it has wider FOV).

When I read the report first, I thought 8K/eye was nonsense because it was a physical limitation rather than a technical problem. Isn't it true?
Telegram blocking in Iran is theoretical. There are still a great many Iranians successfully using Telegram (via proxies or modified versions of the app).
I would agree that the phrase “Pricing is per app, not per user” comes off as disingenuous. It may be true that most customers’ apps won’t reach 500 users, but I would expect that many customers aim or even expect to reach that level and find the small print contradictory. I would count myself in that category
These programs aren't like that. A van shows up, a medic and someone with experience dealing with mental health issues. They talk to people help them with some basic needs, drive them to a clinic if they need detox (and want to go) or otherwise just get them to stop doing whatever it was that caused someone to call 911.

The STARS people have no authority to cart people off, and are trained to avoid physical confrontation. If people get violent or need to be physically removed, they protect themselves and call the police.
A bunch of my ancestors probably died of syphilis. Doesn't mean I should do that.

Many people depend on modern medicine to be alive. Maybe even you or someone you love. Who should get decide when they've gotten enough? Do you want to tell a 100 year old that you're sorry but their time is up because not wanting to die is apparently narcissistic?
I won't argue about the meaning of utopia. But my point is that the world is rapidly improving and is already vastly better than ever before.

I don't understand how you can be surprised by any of those statistics you quoted. Go back 10 years, 20 years, any number of years and it was worse. Malnourishment is in decline. Have you never looked up any poverty stats before? My mother was happy to get an Orange for Christmas, and this was in a developed country. That would never happen today.

Consider what it would mean if hardly anyone died from preventable causes. What would the causes of death be instead? Heart disease? Preventable already using artificial machines if you really really didn't want to die from heart disease. What if a new super-expensive treatment was discovered. Suddenly, overnight, most of the world would be plunged into tragedy for dying from a now-preventable disease. Maybe you utopia requires no lifesaving medical advances because they will all, at least initially, be possible but restricted to only a few people.

Perhaps more people dying from preventable causes is actually a good sign because it means more causes of death are now preventable!
Stacker is great, most polished product in this space for sure - much better than building admin dashboards.
Spot on! This is the 21st century's version of being born into a poor African American family.

Jokes aside it's truely painful. I was lucky to have a job that got me out easily. Though it felt embarrassing when I was seeing everyone uses Docker and AWS extensively at my new job while I had never used them properly not because I wasn't smart enough but just because of where I born :(

Not much. It's 99% certain that Iran already has the IPs of all Signal users, and they haven't penalized people for using encrypted messaging as of now.

2% efficient, at best. 1000J in, 20J worth of wood and leaves out. Burning it, you get back only a fraction of that, with much of it carried away in the smoke.
I’m saying that the C machine model would be an ideal introduction to pointers and registers and bit manipulation, and you could compare a C program with its compiled disassembly. Later you could get into in-line assembly and even processor intrinsics.
It's always hard to talk about history that didn't transpire but yes, due to technological change similar to IBM.
Hi there, Signal Android dev here. We have reproducible build steps, so you actually can verify the code is the same :)

From an engineering point of view, that might still count as easy. Especially compared to hydrogen.
Although I disagree with OP, technology put people into slavery. It's not some natural state of humanity
in both case, `<b>` is a parameter of `a`, but in the former, `a` is a function with generic parameter and in the latter, `a` is a type with generic parameter.
This is pretty funny to me. With VR you can go anywhere you can possibly imagine, and you chose an office.
There’s other reasons. Let’s say you’re building a Larabee-style GPU. You want a simple core with a large set of SIMD units (along with some custom extensions for the hardcoded parts of the pipeline). Adding a multiplier and divider to your core would kill its usability either by becoming non-standard or by wasting huge amounts of space and time.

Multiplications and divisions happen out of band on most chips (that is, on the side) because they take so many clock cycles to complete. All the extra synchronization takes a lot of extra work.

The RISCV ISA is seeing an uptick in the embedded space where it can be very efficient in core size and thus cost. Here too, requiring those units would hurt the market. Meanwhile, it can reasonably be assumed that any desktop-grade CPU will have those extensions just like it’s assumed that desktop x86 chips all have SSE.

Speaking of that, there are over twenty x86 extensions released since 2000. There are 8 or so in just the last 5 years. Despite this, life goes on because the tools that make handing this easy have existed for decades.
Scotland. Not everywhere in the world has coyotes.
You could be at multiple super bowl parties/other events at once in VR. I know it's not exactly the same as being physically proximate but it offers some advantages that being there irl can't offer. You and all your friends in the lower stands at halfway marker all game. Maybe you want to all "sit" wherever the ball is on the field as it moves up or down the field of play. Maybe you have a specific spot in the stadium you like to sit at and you don't have to fight with others for that spot. I don't know it sounds kind of interesting for some things. I'd still personally rather be at a concert in person, I guess.
Ion engines are another interesting technology. They are almost the opposite of rockets: very low power and very low force, but great energy density.

Keep in mind that both rockets and ion engines actually have fairly low realized energy density, because they can't just rely on atmospheric oxygen.
I would have been interested in the training set initial construction. It seems like the author has been walking the cat around the house from 15:30 to 22:00 :)

The "proprietary Google code" is a library with a well defined API, you can see what it has access to. I agree that Signal should take it out, but it's not an especially big deal from a security perspective.

The auto update functionality just tells you that an update is available, you can choose not to install it. You can also independently verify that the sha256 sum matches the one given on the website, and that the binary that sha256 sum corresponds to is produced via the reproducible build instructions. There are occasional bugs (I'd estimate a couple times a year, though it's less and less frequent) that causes the reproducible build to not match the provided build, and it's quickly noticed by someone and an issue opened in the issue tracker. If there were no explanation or no quick resolution, people would publicly raise a stink about it.
I love Tom and Jerry. Children’s cartoons are too serious these days, and many channels like cartoon network are quickly turning into political indoctrination themselves. Meanwhile these beloved classics are being suppressed in a Fahrenheit 451 manner, robbing children of the golden oldies.
We need to deploy direct air capture of some form anyway because we're not reducing our carbon output quickly enough.
Well hey, if that works and is cheaper, let's do it, right?
it is pretty trivial though and an obvious deficit easily visible by just looking at the "code" or nginx config in this case... it is even trivial to come up with this without knowing any of the setups details...
I was never arguing that VRChat/social apps are worse than other remote social experiences (phone call / video conference, etc.). My point is that it is very isolating and impossible to share the experience in any meaningful way with folks around you, or just be present at all while doing something in VR.

Like I can play Mario on my TV while sharing that experience with my kids or chatting with my wife about things, while still being around my family in a shared living space. VR just isn't cut out for that. I do use it for sim-racing (which is pretty much a perfect fit for VR headsets) which is anyway a situation where you need to be distraction free and kinda isolated from everyone else so it works well in those types of scenarios.
It does not handle neopets games well yet.
What is Apple thinking building a $3k AR/VR headset?
I knew Ron Thornton a little bit back when he was doing the CGI for B5 because of his use of the Amiga and Lightwave. I didn't know he had died until I saw this article. He was an amazing artist.
Perhaps the real problem is navigating between the apps. I use i3 and I have no problem switching between 2 workspaces in a fraction of a second. Most modern desktop environments try to slow it down by adding some fancy animation or some needless UI component.
Really big fan of this approach. I'm often afraid to call the cops because I don't want them stepping into places where they aren't going to be helpful. Especially in more tense situations that may involve illegal substances or other grey area activities.

We usually don't want anyone getting in trouble, we just want a tough situation sorted out in a healthy way.

The article linked in the comment chain you responded to gives numbers. For public insurance (which covers all essential care with no deductibles)

> The ninimum is 200€, [...] If you make more than 58050€ per year, you pay around 400€ per month. This is the maximum contribution (Höchstbeitrag). If your salary is higher than 58050€, you will not pay more.

For private insurance (possible if you earn above 64k or are a freelancer) its not linked to your income so rates vary.

> Private is cheap when you are young
If you are young and healthy, you could pay as little as 175€ per month (350€ for freelancers) for private insurance. If you make a lot of money, this is much cheaper than public insurance.

But there are deductibles and fees can go up if you have frequent health issues. Freelancers cannot be covered by the public system so it only works when you're an employee, otherwise you're on private insurance.
We know roof can't be fixed by software update.

The statement probably doesn't agree with you, at least from my interpretation, because markets are already placed above the individual. That is, most groups think markets matter more than individual lives.

Most people learn MIPS in college, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t battle tested or usable for commercial chips.
> essentially imperative C# with F# syntax

This sounds pretty good to me! Not to mention that once you get out of the hot path, the threshold to switch to more readable F# is very low.
I'm not arguing against VR for shared social experiences over the internet with remote participants. I actually do think that it can be great for that, especially once technology catches up some more. My point though is that if you already have family or friends in your home, then it is pretty much impossible to have any sort of quality social interactions in VR and you are much better off enjoying things IRL, even if it isn't as immersive as what a VR experience could produce.
An employee would pay a little under 350 euros and their employer an equal share. It is calculated as 7.3% of your salary until your salary passes about 56k euros. Then it’s calculated as 7.3% of 56k regardless of much you earn. Not working spouses are automatically co-insured without any extra cost
The police blotter for the richest towns in the Bay Area are pretty funny too. It's amazing that the police get called when someone's walking their dog without a leash.
People who run the project get to pick the bug tracker. Its really next level entitlement to not let maintainers choose the place they track bugs.
So for every man killed by police (note that this is all police killings including those of armed suspects fighting the police) there's 42 people killed in accidents, 13 people commit suicide, 11 murdered by normal people's, 3.5 that die of heart disease, and 2 that die of cancer. And this is specifically for the demographic most likely to commit violent crime: young men.

Another way of phrasing this is, "even among the gender and age group most likely to be killed by police, people are an order of magnitude more likely to die of accidents, at the hands of non-police, or by their own hand than at the hands of a police officer."
That's a name that took me by surprise, immediately reminding me of the stacker vs. doublespace lawsuits:

Thank you, I missed that part of the article entirely.

I was on my phone, and scrolled down to read the article, but those images took up a large part of the screen and I sort of half-consciously took that to signal the end of the article, thus prompting me to ask here.
