I won’t comment on the relative numbers because there are top-notch developers in many language communities.

I think the more important point is that Julia has attracted enough first-rate people to self-sustainably build out an ecosystem — and even more keep joining. Several aspects of Julia’s design and core tooling interact to provide compounding leverage to this group. I think it’s a similar situation to the development of the NumPy ecosystem where standardizing on a common array data structure and API led to an explosion of interoperable libraries. Julia arguably takes that a step further by allowing any code to interoperate with high performance and fluent APIs. Julia’s performance characteristics also reduce the barrier to entry because people can make deep contributions throughout the ecosystem without needing to develop low-level programming expertise on top of their domain-specific knowledge.
ublock origin takes care of most of them. You will want to go to settings > filters and make sure that you have EasyList, EasyPrivacy, and EasyCookie all enabled. I would also recommend Fanboy's Annoyances filter list enabled, as it contains quite a few nice cosmetic filters to block out similar annoying web elements.

This is why whenever I use sizeof, I pass a type, not a variable.
I've really enjoyed my Pi-hole so far, so I decided to make an open-source version on the ESP32. It's not quiet finished yet, but it is very close. There are only a few small things that need to be done before I can call it stable, but the last 10% of a project is somehow always the hardest.

Not right no. My issue with that is usually people that want a JS build system will want webpack, loaders and other JS dependencies to also work. You end up just executing webpack command from the SSG while the user could just run it themselves, without a layer.

Thank you. That’s a perfect “opposite” collage
I disagree in that internet on the original iPhone was terrible, and everyone I knew who bought one didn't really do much browsing on it. It was the UI/UX. Being able to touch-drag was so different from the indirectness of the buttons on previous phones, or using a pen on a squishy screen (I was the nerd that was previously into Palm and Windows CE(?) devices). I remember that what my friends who had the original iPhone showed off wasn't primarily the browser, but rather the pinch-zoom feature on the photos they took, the drag-bounce effect in apps, and of course just the whole thing of having a big screen with no keyboard or somewhat gaudy keypads.

But I agree also agree with you in that my own first iPhone was the iPhone 3G, and the 3G part and later the app store became a major thing for the device, whether it was browsing the web, or using internet-centered apps (chat, sms, reddit, etc.).
Privatization of Propaganda by Governments ?
We can split the difference by mandating that whatever storage services are provided via "webapps" must also be provided via a plain API. Users shouldn't have their data locked behind proprietary javascript. This would create zero additional burden, as every webapp needs such an API for the front end to talk to anyway.
More generally, lawns seem to me to be a net negative environmentally relative to any of many other landscaping options. I'm not quite for banning them, but maybe we could stop mandating them.
> The key things with all of this, is that if enough people were to collectively have the courage to push back against this craziness it would stop...people recognizing that there is a problem is a good first step

Is that true though? The government is doing nothing here. There's nothing stopping anybody from owning these book or passing them around to somebody else. There's nobody in government stopping somebody from publishing these books.

What's happening is that a few megacorporations have acquired so much power they are beyond influencing. Are a few angry people going to vote with their wallets to defeat eBay? Please, there is no recourse - eBay has essentially no competition in its sector and is accountable to nobody but their shareholders.

And the publisher? Well, the publishers have lobbied for our politicians to grant them infinite copyright, so now they can do as they wish with our culture. If they choose to bury it and stop publishing, this is the right our politicians have agreed to give to them.

This isn't really a free speech issue at its heart, even if it feels like it. This is really a power imbalance where control in all sectors of commerce (and in almost every aspect of our lives) is being distilled into a handful of unassailable monopolists to whom our politicians have gradually ceded their power.

> This is so important, as we seem to have become a society engineered by technology, rather than a society that engineers technology

I would rather say that we're a society that is engineered by the market, and that the market is engineered by lobbyists. And one particular consequence is that the price of our work is determined largely by its value to those whom the lobbyists serve.

The verbiage evokes a sense of conspiracy theory, but I think it's not only true but perhaps even eminently intuitive.

I feel really bad for the people who have to use the gas ones because they're breathing in exhaust the whole time. Small gas engines, especially the 2 stroke cycle ones, don't burn nearly as cleanly as the ones we find on most cars. And the people who operate those things are doing it professionally so they're likely to be expose to the exhausts all the time. The noise bothers me but I only hear them once in a while. I just feel bad for the people who have to deal with them all the time.
There are many solutions for this. Corrosion is absolutely a problem you can find engineering solutions to. And Moltex has very elegant one. Other companions like Terrestrial are simply replacing the reactor core after 7 years.

The MSR experiment in the 60s proved it worked. They had some corrosion issues after quite a while in operation, but still operated if for quite a while, and that was in the 60s.

You can compile Tera to WASM if you want but that's the only solution if you want to use Tera templates outside of Rust.

As mentioned, it is _extremely_ similar to Jinja2 in Python, a good number of Jinja2 templates should be valid Tera and vice-versa.
Surely the ability to sort people into meaningless bins on facial features alone is worthy of note?

Let's say you created an arbitrary classification ("number of letters in street address" or "cosine of age in minutes") and an alorithm could predict that based on a photo alone. That would surely indicate that the classification wasn't arbitrary and there was something more interesting happening?

At the very least you'd want to dig deeper.
sorry if my previous post came off as a critique of your reading in any way. it sounds like the book does have some interesting observations, it's just that the overall framework presented doesn't seem to be useful for really understanding the world beyond a surface level. but that's sometimes just enough to provoke thought (and experience-seeking) that leads further and deeper than the book might strive to reach, especially during our formative college years.
DC passed a combustion leaf blower ban in December 2018[1], but it's only coming into effect January 2022, another 10 months.

I saw my first electric leaf blower ~3 months ago & chatted with the crew some; they'd only picked their new gear up the day before! They were happy with it. The wearable one was much quieter, but there was also a ground-based unit that was still loud as all get out, alas.

I've also asked other property management crews (probably
7 at this point) if they knew about the ban, & so far, no one even knows about it, other than the one crew I'd met who'd just gotten their electric gear.

I am very curious to see, long term, how powering these systems works out. Will a work crew simply buy a bunch of 40V or 80V batteries? How many will be enough? How many crews will turn right around & buy a generator they'll leave running a good part of the day? Longer term, perhaps hybrid work vehicles like the F150 & their built in 2.4 & 7.2kW inverter could become a crucial capability. Alas, it seems probable one way or another that combustion based energy, albeit less dirty & radically less obnoxious than these gas tools, will be used.

Anyhow. This ban can't come soon enough. Another year of these noise devices is going to be obnoxious. Unlikely to ever happen, but I wish cities would have designated noise hours, say 3 hours a day, 5 days a week (whatever) where noise was allowed (without special circumstances permit). It seems like such an obvious civic good to coordinate, to try to steer us away from all causing loud riotous noise all day long.

I was just thinking about that the other day. The billions of extra clicks and taps and wasted seconds. And for what gain? I think that this can be discussed outside of the basic "should we regulate" or not. Specifically looking at these modals that have spread all over, what actual protection does the average user get from this modal?
As a low-level programmer, I am not convinced. The Go runtime really confuses the use case.

If I needed a C alternative, rust gives me all (most of) the power of C, plus safety, without all the drawbacks of a heavy runtime.

If I am okay with paying the garbage collection tax, etc, then I would use scala or kotlin. If I'm using a higher level language, then I expect higher level features like exceptions, generics, reflection, etc.

I'm sure go is a great language with it's own usecases, but it's not a C replacement.
DISCLAIMER: Do this to access your game saves. Steam will not download missing compatibility but instead reinstall your games. Be sure to grab the saves beforehand.

Follow up, decided to tackle it on my lunch break. I had issues but the tutorial worked. All that tutorial does is help you mount NTFS on your Linux OS on startup automatically. Once you do that you're good to go.

The misnomer is adding the second library. The steam UI only lets you change the folder in the currently existing libraries (Settings -> Downloads -> Steam Library Folders is wrong). Instead try to install a game that you know is on that drive. When the game install prompt pulls up, for game install location select the dropdown and "Add new steam library", pull up your file explorer and set it to the `Steam` folder on your ntfs drive. After that it will search for common files for that game and install anything missing. It will also remove anything Windows specific. The process will also identify the rest of the games on the drive but will prompt for install when you try to play. I hope that helps!

Obviously your Proton matching mileage may vary per game!

Electric garden tools are great as long as you work quickly. I have a walk-behind mower and it has a TON of torque even in super-tall grass. I cannot imagine someone running a landscaping business with them, though. You'd have to double or triple your hauling load just to carry all the batteries you'd need to power them in a workday.

It takes 33 bits to single out a human. 72% means a substantial fraction of a bit -- it's not much, but combine it with a few dozen other clues of similar magnitude and you're really getting somewhere.
I have a 80cc 2-stroke gas leaf blower, two plug-in electric leaf blowers, and I've tried a buddy's battery leaf blower.

All of the electric ones are basically toys compared to the gas powered one. Gas unit's 1100 cfm and 220 mph rating is substantially higher than the electrics and it shows in performance. The electrics can barely move a small pile of dry leaves. The gas one can lift sheets of wet, mucky leaves and move them around effortlessly.

On the other hand, I love my battery string trimmer. That's a device that seems perfect for electric as the power requirement is quite low and there's no carb to get all gummed up. The electric works every time and a battery pack easily does my entire yard trimming twice over, so there's no fiddling or stopping required.

Do you think people hundreds of years ago with different common political views - some of which we'd find abhorrent now - had different faces too?

Someone should test this classifier on old images. Maybe it's just identifying fashion, not facial structure.
the Erlang VM said "screw IEEE":

iex(1)> -0.0 === 0.0
true

there's also explicitly no infinity or NaN, there is a software throw for all (core) implemented function domain failures.

This has, however, recently come up for Nx (numerical elixir) which had to implement and standardize ways to shim these IEEE concepts back into the VM for interop purposes.
Agreed. Without the addition of causal inference this is phrenology in ML drag. To their credit the authors say "Here, we explore correlations between political orientation and a range of interpretable facial features. . ."

Used to live across the street from a neighbor who got his yard cleaned up by a crew with a gas blower twice weekly. They were already banned in that town, but it was never enforced. The noise would wake me up and the fumes—like standing next to a 1960s Mustang with a cold engine—would drift into our apartment and linger for 15-20 minutes. Gas blowers are gross and their time passed a while ago.

I'll play along with the author. I haven't made my mind up whether I think the author is right, but I'll play along, because from that perspective I have a couple of things to note.

> So next time you're faced with a tough decision, consider the path that makes a more interesting story. If it turned out to be the wrong decision to have made, you'd at least be fun at dinner parties.

The issue is that a good story enhances the propagation quality of a particular set of concepts that relate back to you in this case. I daresay that the quicker you can make your story into a meme, the higher that propagation quality will go -- attracting all kinds of success for you in the process. There is however one huge huge issue with this. It is devoid of ethics!

By that I am not saying it's evil. But it does mean it can be used for evil purposes, and it has (e.g. Enron, vaporware companies). Moreover, if you do not decide about the ethics of a story, then you might risk that you're secretly going to lead a very narcisistic life. It might be successful, but it ultimately might not be the best you can do or the best you can be. I hear you saying: "and you're supposed to tell what it is? You? A random guy on the internet?"

I'm going to tell you what it is.

:)

Next to optimizing for story also optimize for: bringing the future present and optimizing for humanity as a whole. From this perspective I think Elon Musk could be considered a role model. His story is much cooler than any rock star has or also much cooler than Tim Ferriss his story. Why? Because those stories don't add that much to humanity (Tim did have a couple of things, but Elon is disrupting that part with Neuralink). Stories like Bill Gates eliminating whatever disease ails the planet is awesome, that he made Microsoft is a fun story, but it's peanuts compared to his work of setting up a team that's playing for a demi god.

Amazing stories have altruism towards humanity, without it things can still sound cool but it will make us blindsided to simply things that sound cool. Eventually that's not the best you can be.

-----

Alright, that was me playing along. I'm still not sure what I think of this concept, or my own opinion/story on the matter. I feel the thinking is too heuristic-based, like something isn't fully thought through. I can't put my finger on it. But it was fun to play along, and from that perspective I'd vouch for more altruism towards humanity and sci-fi awesomeness to be incorporated into anyone's life story!
