That's a horrible usecase for single use private methods, agreed. But I think they're an excellent way to breakdown a complex chunk of code into smaller components, using the method names to describe what they're doing. That requires good naming, though; without good names, the effort is moot.
Yes, although the issue isn't only incivility, but also other forms of repetition. The intention is to avoid discussions that are predictable and otherwise low-information, to the extent possible.

You're quite right that energetic conversations can be really good, though, which means we have to review the list of threads that have gotten penalized by the flamewar detector and turn the penalty off for the ones that don't deserve it. We do that several times a day. It's not a perfect solution though, because sometimes a thread languishes for hours before we notice that that's happened.
I guess that's why they put the Raspberry Pi Foundation people first, then.

> The input mechanism I describe doesn’t have to be a physical button. In fact, gesture-based inputs might be even more convenient. If AirPods had built-in accelerometers, users could interact with audio content by nodding or shaking their heads. Radar-based sensors like Google’s Motion Sense could also create an interesting new interaction language for audio content.
So glad to see jQuery being used. I still think it’s a better solution than React/Vue most of the time.

I agree with the author about the potential of audio interfaces + some simple additional inputs + integration with certain apps.

For me personally there is a suite of tools involving audio books and note taking that would change my life: A remote with a few physical buttons to rewind, switch to record-mode, skip sections. Speech to text with full text search. Voice recordings tied to what I’m listening to. Basically, I want to be able to work through a difficult audiobook while walking around.
Police regularly monitor protests, and frequently use footage from security cameras in investigating and prosecuting crimes. I'm not seeing a problem here on those grounds.
> I play poker, and poker players are constantly furious that their 80% favorite hand doesn't win 100% of the time. 80% feels like a lock.

I always liked an interview by one of the designers of the game XCOM which relies heavily on showing players probabilities. Apparently behind the scenes on lower difficulties, even though they might show you 85% chance of success, they tweak it under the hood to be closer to 95% because that is where the player's emotional weighting is. They want the players to have fun and that is certainly one way to go about it.

> You could also think about the Apple Watch as the main input device. In contrast to the AirPods, Apple opened the Watch for developers from the start, but it hasn’t really seen much success as a platform. Perhaps a combination of Watch and AirPods has a better chance of creating an ecosystem with its own unique applications?

> and you pre-allocate that address space

The increase in stack usage is highly unlikely to require more space than the default 'reasonable' stack size already being allocated for threads in 32b environments where one is likely to be operating v8; typically the defaults are already pretty generous. Unless the default thread stack size allocation actually has to be increased to accommodate the modest growth caused by the change then there is zero impact on available heap.
I think it depends on what you call it. Instead of calling it AI or even ML you could call it pattern recognition or automatic model parameter estimation, but it doesn't sound as cool.
Well, what happened to those kids? The kids grew up and now spend the majority of their time working in advertising, supplying games, creating endless streams of new media, etc.

how has it NOT been harmful?

I'm more inclined to believe my parents did the right thing by limiting TV time and commenting that most of it was rubbish. And I presume like many parents in Silicon Valley, I'm going to fight tooth and nail to keep advertising and most of this stuff from my kids.

The funny thing is, if you're not brought up around it, if you learn some math and statistics, and then you suddenly go somewhere exposure is considered normal, you almost have a physical or psychological revulsion to it.

Ads become frustrating and unacceptable intrusions. casino floors are sad, boring, pathetic and dystopian. mobile games look like drugs foistered upon an underclass, etc.

At least with big TV at the time, programming was so limited (at least in my country), you had maybe 2 to 3 hours per week of anything that would fit a genre worth watching. But even with that restriction, I know a large number of people who deem that the TV should be on even if there's "nothing to watch". I just can't write that sort of behaviour off as not being dysfunctional, it's just that we've culturally got a general acceptance of very specific types of dysfunction...

And what about rates of obesity? I'm not saying TV is solely to blame, but are we going to pretend that screen time and such programming (on demand or otherwise) is a blameless part of our culture?
Alaska was peopled in the Holocene (>10k years ago). But yeah, i think you’re right: I tend to think of the particularly coastal Arctic people’s across AK/Canada as having more consistent inter-tribal contact and periodic aggregation than between Arctic and more Southerly tribes. Not crazy to think trade goods could flow between the indigenous people of the east and west coasts of the Arctic, albeit slowly. I think far, far more likely that this item would have come to Alaska via Siberia though, if for no other reason than proximity. Fascinating to think of the story of that bead. Blows the mind.

> Apple is all about diminishing physical technology

That's an interesting perspective. Theoretically, the best way to get rid of hardware is to move as much as possible to "the cloud"[1], yet Apple isn't very good at cloud. (At least, not as good as Google and Amazon.)

So let's say we're headed to a future where the only physical electronics anyone owns are wearables: watch, glasses, ear buds. No phones, tablets, laptops, or desktops. Just wearables.

In that scenario, who wins? Apple is best suited for making that hardware (by a long mile), but Google and/or Amazon are better suited for handling the software in the cloud.

I'd place my bets on Apple catching up on cloud faster than Google or Amazon catching up on hardware.

However, if we took it a step further and went full Mana[2], tapping right into the nervous system, my bet would be on Google winning that one. They have the cloud capabilities and expertise, but Alphabet also has some experience in health and biology (if I'm not mistaken).

The thing about plumbers/electricians/doctors and other professions are that licenses are often at the state-level. So while a developer at XYZ startup in SF doesnt have as much option to pack up and move to the exurbs or relocate to a more affordable area in California, most other professions do. This creates a smoother pay/CoL ratio because you have freedom to walk away from a bad deal.

The article isn't clear what is meant by "request" here. If they are merely asking private citizens to give them access to the video, and those citizens have a choice to do so or not, then it's essentially the same as anybody just uploading phone footage to youtube.

If it turns out there is coercion in getting these videos then that line of reasoning goes out the window, however.

> That makes you sound actually crazy.

I don't see why this is so difficult to understand.

You have a merchant with a sterling reputation. I'm a customer. They don't know me from Adam, but they know that a lot of their customers are unreliable. Suppose the product is bespoke or controversial, so they have a lot of problems with people placing an order and then backing out and refusing to pay after the work is already done or the product is already delivered.

In a system with chargebacks, they have to eat the cost of that and pass it on to the honest customers. In a system without it, the people violating their agreement and backing out can't get their money back, and then honest customers like me don't have to pay more to cover them. So I'm willing to commit to trusting the merchant in exchange for not having to pay more. In this case forced reversibility is a cost to me, the customer.

> See for example cashiers cheques and bank transfers.

In other words, things that are de facto prohibited through inconvenience or risk. Like a website is going to get any customers if they have to drive to the bank and then mail a cashier's check. And disclosing your bank routing number would allow the merchant to withdraw more than agreed -- you then have to trust them with not the $20 purchase you're making (an acceptable risk) but the full balance of your account (not so much).

Notice that the convenient equivalent to this that might actually be usable, i.e. debit cards, is back to having chargebacks.

There's an enormous amount of comments and tests in that codebase. As installed on my Mac, sqlite comprises a 1.3MB command line utility and a 1MB shared library. That's absolutely tiny given the functionality it provides.

"The most obvious choice here is Siri, which is already integrated into every pair of AirPods."

- Not entirely true. It's the pairing of the device with an iOS or capable watchOS device.

"Why has no one thought about additional buttons or click mechanisms that allow users to interact with the actual content?"

- It's called a smartwatch (The pebble was really nice at this). or generically bluetooth radio controls.

I wish these design analyses talked about the material input costs needed to produce the thing we might perceive as a 'platform'. I just see more batteries, wear, expense, etc.
> The question we have to answer though is why there's no middle ground.

Again, this isn't what bimodal (or multimodal in general) means. There can be lots of middle ground, it just doesn't end up with a single mode.

To turn this around the other way, is there a reason that we would imagine a unimodal or even normal distribution for salaries here? If so, why?

No, founder effects are basically sampling bias. You can still have people that are genetically distant reproducing (and in fact, the popularizer of this particular vein of theories in Brazil, Francis Black suggested mandating exactly this to much criticism), but the overall population diversity will remain low. However, founder effects can be associated with inbreeding if it's a sufficiently small population. I'd imagine this probably wasn't a major factor for early Americans, as the effective population size (note, not actual population size!) was on the order of thousands.

That's where I'm at right now, as a long time free user of LastPass. I've never been particularly happy with it, but it basically works and it didn't cost anything.

Wow that's nice.

Even though I did not intend to say we should have SATA and HDMI on the RP2040 itself (I didn't know if it was possible), it still proves that having realtime control on the IOs opens the door for way more functionalities than SPI/I2C/UART specific ports. All of it using the same SoC and potentially less pins.

Having the same level of control on any device would be beneficial in my opinion.
Not helpful.

If your premise is that the article might tip off attackers to the idea that they have been caught, these points are moot. Either they have been caught, or the article is actually bullshit.

I don’t think you can build this in a few weekends, assuming you can even get all the parts in that time.

I would instead get a dumb terminal from eBay from the 70s or 80s (search “terminal” or “televideo” for one of the brand names) and hook it up to a raspberry pi via rs-232. There are several projects on the web showing how to do this (hint: getty on linux)

No graphics and video, but you get a good keyboard and solid ascii output.

Maybe that's the key to its network effect as a platform. If you don't want to hear everyone talking to themselves in the library, you'll need noise canceling headphones too.
This is the correct answer. Non essential cookies should just be turned off by default and should only be enabled via normal navigation through a website. Your ‘remember me’ example is a good one. Thus, no banners are required, ever. This is the exact approach Github went with.
I think it's actually the opposite. They put the cancer in it by swapping out expensive ingredients like sugar and fat for high fructose corn syrup and palm kernel oil. Evey time you see the "same great taste" or "new formula" on a box it means they've re-engineered it to cut costs by substituting ingredients, usually for some engineered compound that's cheaper or more shelf stable.

Hershey's chocolate is now just rancid swill that just tastes of sugar with a hint of vomit.

I think the point is that the stuff on the symbol servers corresponds to the binaries used in the wild by the people who first encounter these issues.

On Linux, you might run into the problem of a distro shipping stripped binaries, which means having the source code doesn't help much in parsing a stack or profiler trace. Instead, you need to track down the debug info for the binaries as compiled and shipped by that particular distro. Even in the best case, that will be more work than Microsoft's single-source symbol server.
It would have been a series of trade network hops, not an express route by one guy. So traded from one village to the next over and over westwards. Going from Venice over the Silk Road and up through Siberia and into Alaska, or up through Eastern Europe into northern Asia and across Siberia, probably would have involved fewer exchanges though, I’d guess. Either way, that bead is a looong way from Venice. :D

“There’s no reason to be walking around with a mask. When you’re in the middle of an outbreak, wearing a mask might make people feel a little bit better and it might even block a droplet, but it’s not providing the perfect protection that people think that it is. And, often, there are unintended consequences — people keep fiddling with the mask and they keep touching their face.”

You're made of what you consume. That's as true of ideas as it is for food. Forcing the first will, over time, effect degrees of the second. Wanting to like something is already a large portion of the way to actually liking something.

Sure, it won't be universally true and you can't will yourself to like everything, but I think more often than not if you want to do something you will be grateful for having done it.
The reward loop works much better when it can be in your pocket and be accessed during moments of boredom/idleness. The lack of friction before getting pulled in is at least as much of a causative factor as the three issues the article highlights. Every little bit of friction diminishes its effectiveness.

One thing that's ironic with a lot of mainstream AAA gaming though, is that even though they aren't copying the revenue model the game design conventions still tend to focus on length of engagement and playtime. I'm sure there's a reason compelling it but I'm not sure what.

I've never had a chance to dive deeply into most 'advanced' math topics, but I've readd more than one of Hestenes's papers (and cohorts) and honestly GA looks to be so much clearer, concise, and more easily worked than having to blend together vectors, matrixes, and other constructs in order to do the same work in more complicated ways, with extra notational layers.

Again, I don't use any of this in real life, so YMMV, but it looks very clean, fast, and intuitive compared to (waves at everything else).

The current zeitgeist seems to be that peaceful protestors should be left alone and treated like the law abiding citizens they are, and that violent protestors should be punished accordingly.

Nobody in those Minneapolis neighborhoods (neighborhoods that were predominantly populated with african americans) wanted idiots burning down their local grocery stores or causing violence in their neighborhoods. Just like no sane person wanted a bunch of morons to break into the US Capitol building.

So I have an allergy to Aloe. And it got blind tested one night when I slept on a friend's floor and woke up with a rash 100% unaware he used his Aloe plant right where I slept.

I also have whatever the hell the MSG allergy is, though obviously it isn't to pure MSG because they can't reproduce it with pure MSG (from which they conclude it doesn't exist), but if someone wants to throw money at figuring out its root cause from some sort of breakdown product or adulterant that travels with commercially produced MSG, I'm happy to be the guinea pig. The last time it hit, at a Chinese restaurant in SF, the left side of my body was nearly paralyzed. It is bizarre whatever it actually is. And the number of you-know-whats I give about randos taking it seriously or not is precisely zero.

"Who cares if someone roofies your drink? Your goal was to hook up with somebody anyway." /s

You are drastically oversimplifying the situation here. The goal of a protest is not to be seen, or to be harassed by police. The goal is to effect change, and surveillance is a tool of the powerful that the United States has long had a healthy skepticism for.
I think you overestimate the number of Bitcoin buyers who are libertarian ideologues vs. pure FOMO investors.

From what PG was working on (on Bel), a great "continuation" would be to study category theory, type theory, especially dependent type theory.

I really wonder how is it like to debug (dynamically typed) lisp programs, with errors described as effectively encrypted given the current hype around statically typed system programming languages.
And yet if the police weren't present, these very same protestors would likely accuse the police of "institutional racism" for failing to protect the protestors.
