Doesn't Roku send the same data? Don't Apple TV apps track what we watch in each app, just like a Kindle tracks what we read and how fast you read it?

Is the goal here to avoid any metrics being transmitted? Is it to avoid aggregate metrics across all of our apps and devices being transmitted?

It seems like the original objection in the article is that it's the advertising that's the problem, not the data collection and metrics, and the suggestion of Roku and Apple TV seems a poor solution for two of those three problems.
I make queries in SQL and those queries are mapped to objects. Sounds like ORM to me.

Furthermore, those objects are "live" and editing them updates the database. Navigating the object graph navigates the database. All this is very convenient. When it's not convenient or performant, I write updates or tuple queries by hand. But mostly the approach of "select entities using complex SQL queries but use the ORM approach afterward" is a sweet spot.
The future that is envisioned in a scenario where Tesla wins is batteries as the base load energy supply.

The push for nuclear, with the goal of becoming the base load instead, is meant to subvert and supplant that narrative.
For Android TV, you can configure NextDNS for tracking and ad blocking. I have the a xiaomi TV, the frequency at which it pings home is quite ludicrous.
> Most people just Google the recipe they want to make and use the first result. This very very very rarely produces a good result.

It depends on your skill level / experience. Some people have a knack for cooking and just need a rough list of ingredients to figure out a dish.

Some people need detailed instructions and rely more on recipes. I don't have any idea how to season things apart from a liberal use of buillon cubes, so my best dishes are when I closely follow recipe instructions from good cookbooks.
No, but when you have a cookbook or magazine, you also have things like photos of what the finished product looks like, so that you can

a) tell if it looks like something you'd enjoy

b) tell if it turned out right after it's done.

None of the recipes on this site have any pictures, which I think will hold it back.
Totally. We'd genuinely love to be wrong - electrification is a great solution where it works! But our team has built battery electric and hydrogen fuel cell class 8 trucks, and our experience suggests they’re decades away from competing for long haul transport (given range, charging time, payload capacity, etc.). Even if that day comes, our solution is a fraction of the cost, works today with existing fleets, and with biofuels, it can make a truck carbon negative! That's something electrification wouldn't be able to achieve even if we did manage to overhaul the world's grid so that it's completely renewable, which we think will take decades, especially in the developing world.
Terrorist israeli's is who.
I wonder if the question has shifted some from, "who is best" to "what can humanity do?"

PEDs have some effects too macabre to make acceptable (i.e. mandatory) but there are plenty of other ways to squeeze a bit more performance out of the right human. Whether you support these strategies (shoes, training, pacer lights, etc) depends in part on what question you perceive them an answer to.
Unfortunately, the library story is quite limited, so for me this doesn't really justify spending more than a day looking into. Currently using Nim, which has better library support. Maybe it's possible to cross-compile Nim/Zig libraries? Also, it's quite difficult to find pure C libs, seems everything is C++ at some level.
I’d agree with you but it seems like these alterations are pretty benign. They’re still professional and not at all fake/misinformation.
Having worked in A/B testing in a loan marketing company, where we were pushing 300% payday loans in Mexico (you read that right), I can talk of evil.

I think, when you're in the day to day of a web platform, you really just simplified everything from your hiring to your board meeting to one metric: click.

Everything is number of click, it becomes no more evil than a Lion in the Savanna, you just must increase your number of clicks somehow and you forgot why.

It can lead to interesting "let's remove the legal text away and see what gives", "let's color ever buttons blue vs pink and see who wins", let's reorder the search result independently of what a normal human would expect (as in... cheapest first?)".

I see what you mean, but it's not evil anymore. It's now part of nature, they must hunt your click. They can't stop and they can't explain why. They could put one headline "Myanmar military coup" then replace it with "Myanmar cabinet reshuffle" to see which one you click on with little input from any writer and no philosophical debate whatsoever.
You can setup use NextDNS on Android TV to block ads and tracking.
Look at every other Google product decision ever. It's a lens through which to evaluate the "GCP 2023 leak".
That's right, which is actually kind of the point. It's amazing that 320 divs can be shuffled around the screen at 60 fps. Browsers are amazing!
Sure. That's still a big number though. And with that much nuclear, even resistive heating is pretty reasonable from a carbon perspective.

The cookbooks I have I acquired thinking they were good sources of recipes, and they kind of are. But the real value I found, is the sections on "how to cook". Everything in those books on technique: from knowing how to convert tablespoons to volumetric ounces (yes, I'm American) to how to temper eggs. My favorite bread recipe book, for example, isn't my favorite because the recipes are the best, but because it taught me how to make bread, including things like creating a sourdough starter from scratch.

Recipes are easy to find, especially now with the internet.
> If you don't mind 20KB of string formatting code

So this here is sort of why I brought up binary size. I know hello world size doesn't really say anything about real world, but as I was looking at different languages, a common theme was this defensive "well what d'ya expect from a thing that has [list of features]" tone when the question of binary size got brought up and people didn't know how to make it smaller. A normal rust build has a similar feel. The 8kb binary link above reads a bit like a hacking adventure to unravel the mysteries of yonder.

When I read stuff like this

By using a C entry point (by added the #![no_main] attribute) , managing stdio manually, and carefully analyzing which chunks of code you or your dependencies include, you can sometimes make use of libstd while avoiding bloated core::fmt.

Expect the code to be hacky and unportable, with more unsafe{}s than usual. It feels like no_std, but with libstd.

I'm undoubtedly awed at the cleverness of it all, but it's clearly way off the beaten path.

I should note that in addition to the zig build command being guessable by a newbie reading through --help, the hello world code itself is also the idiomatic thing a newbie would've reasonably written. And there's really no need for "air quotes", I really put no effort whatsoever in optimizing: I didn't even use `-O ReleaseSmall`

Among all the languages I looked at, Zig was somewhat unique in taking a default stance of proactively using compile time as a tool to take stuff away from the binary (in a sort of saint-exupery way).

I'm sure with enough effort it's possible to bring down binary sizes for most languages, but not many languages do this with the relentlessness that zig does out of the box.
This is definitely going to end up hurting SF the most. Why keep investing in a city that is actively hostile to big and small business when the talent is very happy working outside of SF. Unless the city shapes up fast I can see San Jose start slowly taking over when Google’s builds their new massive campus downtown.

This will be a double factor if Biden is actually serious about high speed rail. The current plans have them stopping at SJ if the trans bay train box isn’t built in time, which will only double down on SJ becoming the new heart.
This is not the first time, as Catalina was one of their last to push less crap like this.
Am I the only one who thinks that this concept is perfectly good, and all the things the site doesn't have are just great further development of the idea?

What's wrong with a "wikipedia for recipes"? I would LOVE that.

All the complaints about the quality of the recipes or the lack of more in-depth explaination of each one, some kind of voting/reputation system for the recipes and for the submitters and the voters, Yes those are all good ideas to make the db more useful than just a db.

But you have to start somewhere. How is the core idea here of a public cookbook not fundamentally awesome? I mean hello... GIT. Recipes that are living documents that can be honed over time, complete with viewable history of what changes have been made so you can decide if you agree with them. Branches and forks for all the hundred variations on any given thing. Revisions by better experts than the original submitter of some recipe.

So, today on day one it doesn't already have the benefit of years of contributions and incremental improvements and revisions, Quelle Suprise!
> This stuff can come off as invasive, but it’s also partially what’s steadily brought the prices down on even high-end TVs.

Is it? I highly doubt ad revenue on these TVs puts anything more than a single-digit dent on the dollar pricetag, and Sceptre's TVs - without smarts at all, let alone ads - are able to undercut those pricetags without much (if anything) in the way of sacrificed quality.
Based just means cool.

Honey Boo Boo is not based.

Wait, first shower, then sit in a tub? What is the reason behind this? One or the other by itself should be enough to get clean right?

I can almost guarantee that the issue is your Fire TV's input is set to a specific picture mode, whereas the built-in apps are using the color-inaccurate vivid mode.
AGP superceded PCI for graphics. It was based on PCI and was a dedicated link that received multiple increases in speed over its lifetime. AGP, 2x, 4x, 8x. Etc. Boards with PCI and AGP were very common. You could even find ones with ISA, PCI, and AGP.
Exactly.

Besides, people looking for recipes are getting something of real value, sometimes hard won. That is hard to know, unless all that is shared too.

I play it like you do. The better sites offer context and serve up whatever AD helps them pay their way. Totally equitable.

One can always start really learning to cook too. Reasonable food is not too tough and being able to spiff up a recipe or substitute is the reward.

Great food is harder. I am getting there myself and I have a two generation body of recpies and notes to draw on.

My grannie was very sharp. Approached cooking like she did many things. She often had real mastery of stuff she wanted to do or was interested in. Similar values were present in my wife's side of the fam. A couple of those are over 100 years old! (Brought over on a boat from Europe)

In those books are notes, context, other info. Those are where the great was noted down, passed down.

That experience has given me a perspective on all this. People who share are doing something pretty damn high value.

It should be appreciated, funded, etc.

And no, our family books are getting scanned, but are not going online just yet. The women consider it personal.

I suppose it is.

It is also the food that brings people home every year too. I grok that.

Maybe the better people can end up on substack. Deliver the good recipes and context needed for people to get the great in them.

I may subscribe. Pretty sure my wife would, if it were someone she values somehow.

To me, being unable to be bothered some means maybe also not being all the concerned about the food.

Self correcting, IMHO.
I would suggest a better colour scale, with more contrast and perhaps more colours. White to orange may look good but it's not very easy to compare countries that are not next to each others.
You know why all these sites have pages of effluvia accompanying their recipes? Because lists of ingredients and steps are not copyrightable. A book of recipes, however, is copyrightable. On the web, to make the content copyrightable, they have to add stuff.

"A mere listing of ingredients is not protected under copyright law. However, where a recipe or formula is accompanied by substantial literary expression in the form of an explanation or directions, or when there is a collection of recipes as in a cookbook, there may be a basis for copyright protection.

Don't tell that to a game dev
Counterpoint. I have a 4yr old 4K Sony TV, it was a higher end model, and it's horrible. It runs Android and is apparently underpowered. When I turn it on (from standby, not from zero power), it can often take 30-60 seconds to turn on...AFAIK it's recovering from garbage collection. That doesn't happen every time. Just tried now and it took 4 seconds to turn on and 10 more seconds until it would actually respond to button presses on the remote.

The screen is (was) covered in ads for TV programs and movies. Fortunately I was able to turn all that off but the home screen is designed around ads so without them it looks clunky. (unlike say Apple TV which just shows the apps)

A few times in the last 4 years it has crashed and rebooted in the middle of watching something (that process takes 1-2 mins? Just timed a reboot, 1 min 20 seconds but crashes take longer)

I hoping to get something dumb next time I get a TV. Unfortunately dumb TV generally seem more expensive. Like I have to by a business display TV and are often missing features (like no lag, no interpolation modes)

The entire thesis of the OP is that it is not benign and the intent is malice/inflammation rather than accurate summary of content.

It may not be "fake news" in the Fox srtain, but the OP's point is that it is not for the good of the reader or society.
Good question, and mainly to see if I could. Also, React was a convenient way to render some DOM.

But you're right, vanilla JS would easily do the job.
This doesn't even look like a house to me. It kind of looks like a law firm's office with a bathtub inexplicably placed in the middle.
> Am I ever tempted to get a bigger, higher-def, TV? Sure, but then I remember that they're all "smart" and realize I don't actually have a problem with how I'm watching TV now.

If you ever are tempted, there are still a few good dumb TVs out there. Admittedly they get less, so vote with your wallet!

> I don't want smart anything in my house. My lights are hardwired to a switch on the wall. My washer and drier need me to turn dials and push buttons and go ding when they're done. My fridge has no microprocessor in it.

I would update that to: "I don't want smart anything in my house [that isn't fully open source]." Obviously this is not great for the average person, but at least for a programmer I can review, test and improve these devices.

One thing I will never have in my home that is closed source is a camera or microphone. I want to know _exactly_ how this data is used and where it goes.

A simple answer to a simple question: Yes.
And, if I understand correctly, the huge amount of lumber imported into Japan each year. When there are shortages of prime building lumber or even more so high-quality wood, such as aircraft spruce, in the US, it is usually blamed, accurately or not, on exports to Japan.

I'm sorry, but the history of WW2 is not "FUD". You can't just scream "FUD!" at anything to instantly dismiss it.

And we're still making nuclear weapons. That is a connection to death, they're used to kill people. I'm against that personally.

And I'm not even anti nuclear power, I'm certainly support it more than petroleum. I just realize why people are skeptical of nuclear too.
It does not just mean "cool". What you think is cool I might think is stupid or offensive. Either way, we do what we want, we are based. The fact that Honey Boo Boo is reviled just shows that she epitomizes based.

This is the developer version of empathy. To even consider what it would be like for your future self to touch this code, or someone else to read or reuse your code is empathetic.

It’s understated and I think it’s the most important thing any developer should have. I personally don’t care about any other trait other than that at this point in my career.

I love to see it, and inspires me to up my developer altruism game. I’d love to see more interviews where people just hand someone not-so-perfect code and have them describe what could go through the mind of a variety of team members as they read it, and what could have gone through the mind of the person that wrote it, and finally what is forgivable.
Ha, yeah. I gave a talk on this project once and pointed out that "If it's possible to do on 1980's hardware, it's possible to do in React".

Also, I'm pretty sure there are many websites out there pushing around way more divs than this is.
That part I kind of understand. However, I'm having trouble seeing the strings by which the puppet masters manipulate the marionettes. These hedge fund managers who shorted Tesla... they're trying to bring about a nuclear future... buy buying already issued nuclear-related stocks? Have there been any big secondary stock offerings in the nuclear industry lately? Are the puppet masters buying up corporate debt instruments in large volumes? If they're calling in favors from journalists, why do journalists owe them favors?

I'm willing to believe the players on the stage are marionettes, but I need to be told where to look for the strings so I can see them for myself. Exactly how are these sour Tesla shorts pushing nuclear?

XCB and Xlib are libraries that implement the client side of the X11 protocol. They are not themselves protocols.

I'm trying to fix the problems with X11 that supposedly justify Wayland's existence, because I have reason to believe that fixing/extending X11 would be far less painful and far easier than throwing it all away.

However, no one seems to be able to explain what is unfixable about X11. I assume in good faith that Wayland exists because there is something truly unfixable. I'd like to know what that is.

Note that I'm talking about the protocol here. People here (yourself included) point out that X.org is old and hard to maintain. This may be true, but that is a problem with the reference implementation, not the X11 protocol. Thus it doesn't in my mind justify Wayland's existence (but it does justify writing a new reference implementation).

EDIT: Here's an example -- what if someone wrote an X server that only allowed clients to render via DRI3, and by default prevented programs from receiving keyboard or mouse events intended for other programs? There would be a new protocol extension for setting and querying these blocking policies, so integrators could set more-secure default access controls without breaking compatibility. Isn't that basically what Wayland is aiming for -- client input is isolated and everything graphical happens through off-screen rendering to client-controlled GEM buffers?
Are we hording fire in such a way that we can wipe out most of the human population? There's a big difference here...
I think there is some bad intent at times - I think a reputable institution should be optimizing for accuracy and engagement, not sensation for its own sake. Different headline styles are suitable for different sections of the paper, as well.

I saw one the other day from Nick Kristof: "America is not designed for the anatomically correct". It was about the need for public restrooms, but the headline didn't make me read it. It sounded goofy and, other than knowing Kristof writes decent articles, I passed it over.

Later, the headline was "America isn't designed for those who pee". A bit coarse, but very much more clear as to what the topic of the editorial was.
No one did.

Someone else decided what they wish to say.

I have prints fail over serial on my CR-10S Pro (both stock and TM3D firmware). Maybe it’s a Creality design flaw, maybe it’s a Marlin firmware issue.

Also, the micro SD card slot has never worked well. For a while I had to be very gentle when inserting micro SD cards to have them stay in after the click. Now micro SD cards never stay in. I haven’t found any references to this issue with 3D printers online, but from what I can gather it is an issue seen on faulty micro SD card slots in other equipment. My fix has been to buy a micro SD card extender (flexible PCB), duct tape it in place, and pray it doesn’t come loose. It survived a 3 day print so far.

What entity indeed? Is the nuclear industry so flush with excess profits that it could fund a massive propaganda campaign? Or is there an industry, awash with decades of profits, who might be threatened by nuclear because it is carbon free (in comparison) and the only viable, always on, competitor? If there is someone being paid, they are paid by petroleum.
