By this argument, you'd think we'd still be using CDs and Walkmans, instead of moving to mp3s and iPods/iPhones.

Gold will have its place as an analog store of value. But you are simply missing the point about how to evaluate a digital store of value. Think about which digital properties a digital store of value would need to have, since concepts like density and chemical stability are literally useless to evaluate a digital entity against; once you have a list of digital characteristics that define what a digital store of value would need to have, you can start to check your checklist against the properties of Bitcoin (or other cryptocurrency if you want)... I'm not saying you'll automatically be convinced, but you should at least use the right checklist to compare.

I am using the LG Ultrafine 5K (so it’s a TB monitor) and it takes maybe 1.5s to 5s longer than the built in display (which wakes instantly) to turn on.

I do occasionally have an issue where the brightness on the built in display is borked and won’t adjust back to the correct level for anywhere between 30s to a few minutes.

And then I don’t know if it’s my monitor or the M1, but sometimes there will be a messed up run of consecutive pixel columns about 1/10th of the screen wide starting about 30% from the left of the display. The entire screen in that region is shifted a few pixels upwards. Sometimes it’s hard to notice it but once you do it can’t be unseen. Replugging the monitor into the M1 resolves the issue.
The only thing I can assume is the whole woke/privilege thing has been devised by people out of touch with the common American experience.

For us, one of our junior Devs managed to wipe out all environments, all datacenters for one of our Elastic instances. They got handed a task to modify an index. The Dev Lead and Sr. Devs were 'too busy' and she stack overflowed how to do it and it was rubber stamped. What she did worked - but it wipes out all the existing documents when she dropped and recreated the indexes. Issue was it was a large enough collection that it was not apparent that bad things were happing to the documents on the system. She scripted it up once she thought her test worked and everything went away as the automation ripped through systems. Three days later we had everything restored. The good news is the older system that the new release was replacing was still operational, so we did that.

A few learning experiences. Elastic was brand new to our mix, so not a lot of domain knowledge there. We discovered how dangerous a handful of curl commands could be with the 'stock' permissions the developers had and fixed that. Also became a nice conversation on code reviews, signoff, and deadlines. Also about actual DR readiness and how long it takes to actually restore. We got a lot of value out of that mistake.

She is still my favorite developer. I'd steal her for my personal team any day had she not been stolen from our group by another a couple years later. (shakes fist) As one would expect, she apologized and learned the lessons. She was one of the youngest we ended up giving root to a 12B document prod instance because I knew she would do it carefully and correctly.

The most important tool is the one you know how to use though. If you can't run your unit tests in your IDE, or you don't know how to launch an embedded server, or take advantage of the key bindings and type-ahead, then you're missing the point and you'd be better off with vim or notepad. The point of an IDE is you're commanding it to do large parts of the work for you.

Bitcoin for every day purchases is dead, it's averaging over 20 a tx these days and you need to open a LN channel which means maintaining that channel.

Bitcoin has been extremely resistant to any L1 scaling, so that's just the state of things.
Supposedly this is one of the reasons aircraft radios are AM instead of FM. If two stations transmit at the same time, you want to recipients to hear the interference so they can ask for a retransmission instead of one hearing a clear message and the other having no idea that someone tried to transmit to them.

Biographies of failures are not the same as negative results in science. A negative result has value and it may not be as sexy as a positive result but should be published if not for anything more than to prevent other people from going down the same path or to add more data in meta studies. Also, negative or positive depends on how the original hypothesis is framed. One person could claim that X has no effect on Y as the null hypothesis, and another could claim that X has an effect on Y, and the same results would give a positive result for one, and negative for another.
That's quite a stretch. There are plenty of things beyond their control, like issuing new bitcoins
The behavior is hostile and dangerous, but legal.

If undefined behavior would happen during an execution of a program, then that entire execution of the program is undefined behavior from the start.

Since all possible executions of this program will lead to undefined behavior, the compiler was free to emit any other program. It is permitted to get rid of all the code. You could say that Clang 13 missed an optimization opportunity here. It could have produced an empty file.
I love Notion but the speed, or rather lack of, is killing me daily. Last Friday I was taking some notes, and suddenly the page refreshed and everything was gone. Went on twitter to see, I wasn't alone .. i feel like hosting my own notion clone is the way to go forward to use Notion...
A lot of BTC was held by an exchange like Mt. Gox and Bitfinex, too.

With banks I can trust that I can actually get my money bank. BTC isn't decentralised, and the central actors controlling the system are far less reputable (which is saying a lot, when they're being compared to bankers).

I wish for us lay people that there was an easier way to break down the research into a tree where each node represents a theory and then you could see how reasonable the methods and models are and how they're being received by the scientific community. Like this sounds great and all, but how accurate is the model they built? Unfortunately I don't have the experience or time to read through 12 or more cosmology/astronomy/astrophysics papers.
I think that's crazy. The only reason we have an open-source movement at all is that people were able to start using GNU tools piecemeal on commercial unix. If unix vendors had been able to control what software got distributed for their platforms, open-source would never have got off the ground.

The non-obvious way to greatly speed this method up is to use an array of nozzles and dip them all at the same time. Draw them upward while squirting your resin at the appropriate times and you have a 3D printer that prints as fast as you can move something up and down...

Arguably, there is no algorithmic way to compute high-quality kerning based on character shapes (just as there's no way to determine, say, character width just from an outline). If there were, then Apple would build it into MacOS and iOS, and Microsoft would build it into Windows, and Google would build it into Android, and then all applications from TextEdit to Word, Safari to Chrome, and troff to TeX would automatically get told about these synthetic kerning pairs, and use them by default.

That said, Adobe does have a proprietary optical kerning scheme that they use in their applications. But it's turned off by default (hint, hint), and their documentation is a bit defensive about it: "Optical kerning adjusts the spacing between adjacent characters based on their shapes, and is optimized for use with Roman glyphs. Some fonts include robust kern-pair specifications. However, when a font includes only minimal built-in kerning or none at all, or if you use two different typefaces or sizes in one or more words on a line, you may want to use the optical kerning option for the Roman text in your document." Loosely translated: Fonts from real type foundries have kerning pairs carefully created by their designers; if you have slap-dash one where they didn't bother, we'll do the best we can if you want. YMMV.
This type of "deadline" to invade Taiwan has been "discovered" repeatedly. For example, look at this article from 2017/10/05 in https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/3268316:

"According to a book published on Tuesday titled "The Chinese Invasion Threat" by Project 2049 think tank fellow Ian Easton, Beijing has finalized a secret plan to invade Taiwan by 2020, according to classified documents from the Chinese military obtained by the author, reported the Washington Free Beacon."

Much as I love Taiwan, let's not pretend this is anything other than propaganda. Only goes to show that bullshit can be produced by pro-Taiwan analysts just as well as by pro-Beijing analysts.

A baseball card is ink on cardboard. Its intrinsic value is a few pennies at most. The value is what it represents, the story behind it (and the stories we tell each other), the rarity, the brand, and so on. A physical collectible is a conversation piece and only has meaning because some people agree it does.

An NFT is no different. The more people talk about the Beeple work, analyze it, critique it, teach it in schools, write about it on websites, the more its legend and cachet will grow. That is why it has value - it represents the same things the baseball card does. Except an NFT can trade and move much quicker, given the internet and its digital nature.

Failing to post disassembly for a micro benchmark is annoying.

It is of course speculating all the way through the loop; a short backwards conditional branch will be speculated as "taken" by even very simple predictors.

Op fusion is very likely, as is register renaming: I suspect that "mul" always computes both products, and the upper one is left in a register which isn't visible to the programmer until they use "mulh" with the same argument. At which point it's just renamed into the target register.
I think you're more guilty here than WaPo. You're choosing to frame this as a larger mistake than it was, calling it a "retraction" is both factually wrong (WaPo didn't call it that, they called it a correction), and misleading (the change doesn't affect the article's main point[0]).

I'll reiterate: the framing didn't change. The precise quotes changed, but they don't affect the framing, and WaPo didn't alter the framing. This is consistent with a correction. The article headline, using only quotes that Trump actually said, could still have been "Trump told investigator that 'you'll be praised' for finding that I 'Won by hundreds of thousands of votes'."

That's a headline supported by the both the intent, and the precise words of the actual call.

You're trying to reframe a correction of precise quotes as a retraction, or a completely misleading story on the part of Wapo. But that's you doing that. Like I said, the correction is a great excuse if you already wanted the story to be wrong, but that's entirely on you. Similarly, you're framing of this as a "fake quote", which implies that it was a fabrication, as opposed to, what the evidence points to, an first or possibly second hand account, from memory, further charges a reader of your editorialization. But that's entirely your framing (and your assumptions), not a fact. I can't tell if you're intending to point out your own cognitive bias, but yes, you are showing that you're guilty of holding trapped priors. You're not demonstrating that anyone else is.

This could be caused by a shortage of kids. If there are a ton of parents who want to adopt but only a few kids available, then a ton of parents need to be rejected. If the government is forced to reject good parents, the government may give vague reasons. Foreign countries might not have the same shortage of kids.

Many kids who go into foster care are not up for adoption because their biological parents want them back, and may get the chance in the future.

But yes it could be mostly unnecessary bureaucracy. If abortion is banned, there will need to be very significant changes to the adoption process to streamline it and encourage more people to adopt.

It seems significant that the lens galaxy has little dark matter, in light of the recent discovery that DM seems not to be needed to account for rotation curves.

If DM is still needed to account for galaxy-cluster lensing, would that suggest DM is much more diffuse than hadronic matter? Would that imply low-mass DM particles, or much more slowly-cooling DM, something else, or indeterminate?

Am I misremembering, or had normal low-mass DM particles already been ruled out? How is DM supposed to cool, anyway?

TIA
I'm not sure I get this point of view. We know that famous artists did random rude and badly-satirical drawings for fun. Their dick drawings were contained in some old notebooks and trashed. But I bet someone would buy a preserved notebook of someone semi-famous with 5000 pages of drawings, mostly regardless of contents. This is pretty much the equivalent of that - daily fun which went to the internet bin rather than real one.

Some examples are really reaching too: "it’s fun to draw black people" - what is it an example for? What is the article author trying to point out there?
It’s not hard to project that on to NPR. I recently read a article on their website about the dangers of white children using black avatars in video games, that’s their schtick now.

Not not at all. What they are doing now is taking advantage of their position of power.

I think you’re being difficult on purpose. You know what I’m arguing. You don’t agree and that’s ok. But please don’t act like you don’t get it, and twist my point.

I’m arguing that what they are taking is not worth what they are offering. A 30% cut of your hard earned business is loan shark and pawn broker territory.

Ok, now it’s 15% until you get really successful. I don’t care 10%, 5%. I believe any percentage makes no sense for the the service they are providing.

This isn’t ‘Shark Tank’ the TV show. App developers aren’t coming and asking for loans to fund their startup idea. That would be the type of scenario where it would be expected to take a percentage of the company. We give you ‘X’ amount of dollars up front to fund your company, but we get ‘X’ percent of the money you make.

Hell, even Y Combinator is in this business. That’s when you should get a percentage. Not when hey, we run the only app distribution service and we’re going to keep it that way.

Now, I’ve ranted way too much in this point :) and I think I’ve made good clear points. Could you please provide good reasons why you think 15%-30% of your whole business is rightfully Google’s to take? I’m willing to be persuaded.

It's a major bummer when devs don't even let you download the app from their own website, instead suggesting that you dox yourself to Apple to use their software. :(

Mattermost (the company behind this) also builds spyware into Mattermost (which is not well documented) and I would be unsurprised to find the same nonsense going on with this.

Is there a term for companies that are "open source in license only" that ignore all of the values of the free software community?

If you download the app store version, and you edit the source code of the downloaded app to, say, scratch an itch, it will not run any longer because the app bundle signature verification will fail. Distributing unmodifiable applications defeats the whole purpose of a free software license.
