Thanks for your comment ! If you want to do it, just pick a language and start to write.

Writing is not easy but it becomes easier if you transform it into a habit.

In my experience I forced myself to write regularly like every day of the week. I usually worked one hour approximately by session.

By doing so you will see that you will achieve a lot.

Do not force youtself to write for one entire day then do nothing for a week.

Concerning the topics to cover I will recommand using a mind map to build the table of content. This is interesting because you can drag and drop sections easilly.

I would suggest first to define your targeted audience. Having this audience you can begin building the plan.

My approach was to teach notions progressively. Sometime I needed to rework the sections order. Use an editor that allow you to do that easilly like Lyx (love it).

Students generally love rituals and adding some introduction ritual/section and conclusion section is a plus.

Hope those recommendations will help you :)

Writing something is really a great way to make sure you understand something !

Good luck

I understand why they did it, but there are alternatives.

Such as:

import * from "svelte";

// ...omitted for brevity.
{
svelte.each(cats, ({ id, name }) => <p>Hello {name}</p>)
}
// ...omitted

This is easy to parse and transform, while being fully within JS.
There is a specific Glass style that is a repeated and evolving arpeggio syncopated against an Alberti bass, which sounds more like some Handel (e.g. Zadok the Priest vs. Glass' Mishima V) than a lot of Bach, but Handel was a Bach contemporary. Dinnerstein is a master, so I have no doubt she hears structure and form between the two I can't appreciate yet.

Though I know more than one Bach specialist who would literally spit if you compared Glass to him as well.

But there is something about both Bach and Glass where the music has an effect. It's not about a performance or a spectacle, it's a very intimate conversation. It's like it loads up part of your brain so you can't focus on anything else, and then uses your attention to reveal these little subtleties. When you listen to Glass, you can hear how he understands human attention and form. I think we're going to discover a lot about music in this century.
>For the last two years, I had been a loud internal voice in the FSF leadership regarding RMS' Free-Software-unrelated public statements; I felt strongly that it was in the best interest of the FSF to actively seek to limit such statements, and that it was my duty to FSF to speak out about this within the organization. [...]

Read: I felt it was in the Foundation's best interest's to deprive Richard Stallman of his inalienable right to free speech. I also felt it was my duty to try to get the organization to agree with me on the virtue of censoring Richard Stallman.

>I've spent a lot of time working with him to help him understand why various positions he holds are harmful. I've reached the conclusion that it's not that he's unable to understand, he's just unwilling to change his mind.

Note all of these are written in such a way to put the most uncharitable spin on Richard, and the most charitable spin on the writer.

Building a community what would you use Substack or Medium
I am thinking about starting a "place" that provides well-written content about team enablement. I have been looking at the platforms out there. A few that come to mind are SubStack, Medium, blogs, ConvertKit. What would be a good platform and why would you pick it. Here are my main considerations
- Its looks great (Yes design matters)
- Content is discoverable by google (you know so people know it exists)
- Easily shareable (at least a few posts will be worth sharing)
- Cumulative growth. ( So I dont have to "send" emails every time to a list)
- Some kind of network effect (so the platform does some work for me in bringing people)

I was also there, but in my opinion 1.7M was an exaggeration. Don’t get me wrong, there were A LOT of people, the whole area from Victoria Park to Tamar Park was packed with people. There was also a constant flow of people coming in from North Point, a good 20 minute walk to the starting point.

Police estimates were definitely wrong, but the estimates from organisers are also always exaggerated, for the same reasons you mentioned the police estimates are wrong.

By your own definition that can't be true. North and South America are a single continuous land mass. You can walk from the top of North America to the bottom of South America. The same with Eurasian and Africa - they are 100% a connected land mass - you can walk from Europe to Asia to Africa, no problem. So by your own definition there are only 4 continents. To the best of my knowledge, almost everyone else says there are 7-8 continents (depending on whether you count Zealandia or not).

> I want a phone I can own, like my sofa. It is out there in my living room just waiting for me to do whatever I want to do with it.

The reality of this is much different. To the average person buying a Linux phone, their new sofa has 3 legs on Tuesday, they can only invite 2 friends to sit on it if it’s an odd number day, and sometimes the fabric glows in the dark. 1% of the time it works exactly how they dreamed and 99% of the time it’s frustrating.

But they own it and can fix all those problems if they’re so inclined! Or they can be at the mercy of people who can fix those problems and hope they don’t see the random glow in the dark fabric as a feature and that they don’t prioritize the problems they’re having over the problems they’re having.

Or they can buy an iPhone or flagship Android phone and have it work exactly like they want it to 99% of the time and be frustrating 1% of the time.

The average person’s iPhone/Android is the sofa in their living room just waiting to be used.

So many HNers pointing out that it was possible since the dawn of the web... yet the point of this article is that you can just add highlighting JS and constexpr.js will automatically optimize it. JS-based highlighters have all sorts of plugins, so it makes sense to reuse the effort.

I'm not so sure it's so hardcore. The standard laptop that new engineers at LinkedIn get is the 16in Macbook Pro with Core i9 and 32 GB of RAM. I'm sure we're not the only ones issuing this spec, and it's not even the maxed out 64GB spec.

For work the $400 difference between 16GB and 32GB is pretty negligible over the course of 3 yrs. Consider the cost of each engineer and $400 / 3yrs for even a tiny improvement in productivity is worth it.

I wonder how this compares to Arnold Kling's three-axis model.

I always looked at the commute cost as a balance out, TBH. The distractions on the bus made study on the bus difficult and I wouldn't work on there because I was loathe to be one of the people edging out another with a laptop on a full bus. granted, other places may have better transport than the Seattle area (ours is pretty notorious), but most is pretty crowded and not suited for work or leisure. I count those commute hours as personal cost hours, to me and the environment. It was an hour in and an hour out (on a really good day), and I'm like 20 miles from the city center.
Like all other tell-alls that have emerged, there is nothing of substance in that article that would condemn Stallman. The only actual offense is interrupting people on stage.

Hitting on someone by talking about emacs would be funny if it weren't for the insinuation of some sort of sexual assault that was attached to it in the article. Speechifying when talking with someone about codes of conduct is at most boorish.

It may well be a burden to have someone butt into your work and lecture you on ethics, but to conflate social discomfort with a loss of personal safety is self-serving and dishonest.

One uncharitable way to view this saga is that the people who failed to effectively argue with Stallman on his moral points have resorted to slander by misrepresenting disregard for superficial social convention as malice.

Same applies to H.264.

I think the main reason for OP’s observation, the codecs optimized for real time streaming (including the hardware codecs inside GPUs) don’t have enough time (both CPU time, and maximum allowed encoder latency) to achieve what ffmpeg does when asked to re-encode a video clip from hard drive.

I want a Linux phone because Android even when fully degoogled and secured like in GrapheneOS is still beholdened to Google's grip on their proprietary Play Services framework and 'SafetyNet'.

Basically tons of apps are crippled and non-functional unless you let Google's code run as a system app. Sure it can be tricked, spoofed, and mocked for the time being but doing so basically destroys the security model of Android in the process. There's also a lot of badwill between the 'secure' Android ROM groups which isn't great when the selling point is security and reliability.

A proper Linux phone with a Secure Boot/Verified Boot implementation would be great. Linux phone's ATM seem to be more concerned with userland stuff like camera apps.

In a way, a Linux computer in the form factor of a phone with a modem is probably best but it's the complicated nature of the ARM ecosystem getting in the way. e.g how many forms of a secure boot system for ARM exist between Android, Apple M1, Samsung Knox, et al.

Regarding the camera... I don't quite see why a camera system using MPV + standard webcam capture tool can't be used... I guess it's not user friendly but it would be simple. It's not like Linux+Camera is anything new.

Aside from all the comments mentioning that reencoding in h264 would probably yield similar results (albeit not as good as h265), another issue is the statement that DivX is the same thing as h264. They are related, but not the same: https://videoconverter.wondershare.com/convert-divx/divx-vs-...

> Isn't it totally verboten to put secret tokens / passwords into scripts?

No, it's not “totally verboten” (forbidden by whom?), and people do it all the time. Mostly, perhaps, for stuff they aren't planning to share, but plans change.

It doesn't help that lots of example code embeds placeholders for secrets directly (with notes to replace with your actual credentials), so lots of stuff gets embedded in the course of copy-and-paste coding.

The Most Intimate Portrait yet of a Black Hole
Sorry all — @danial’s link is correct
'Cancel culture' is a thing - it's been the subject of academic scrutiny, even by left-leaning professors and academics on how it affects movements within the left. And you're right, it isn't a uniquely 'leftist' thing. But purity politics (whether the predecessor or the underlying philosophy of how 'cancel culture' operates - regardless of whether it's a 'thing' or not) and moral grandstanding are serious topics of concern and interest to political and moral philosophers, and sociologists too. There is balanced academic analysis both in condemnation and in praise of so-called 'cancel culture'. I think, however, this comes down to a measure of practicality among activists and what they want to accomplish. There are several good ways of being true to your ideals and unwavering, without 'callouts' and 'cancelling'.

Whether or not you support Stallman, whether or not you find the accusations of 'cancel culture' in some places misguided and unfocused, to say that activism hasn't taken a turn to moral purity and the impossibility of forgiveness betrays either an ignorance of modern activism (which I consider myself a part of), or non-involvement in how these processes form. Arguably, 'cancel culture' also forms part of the carceral turn of various activist projects.

When the worst thing you can do is admit a mistake and apologize, there's a problem. When most of the population, according to polls, says it is reluctant to make its true political views known (right or left) - there's a problem.
It is true - however, why would I put myself in such a bad position with a number of my coworkers by writing about it publicly? I still have to work with them. There is a reason this is a throwaway account.
Yes, the expressions “moving” – “not-moving” are rather misleading.

The actual distinction according to this theory (or to my favourite flavour of this theory) was: “able to act willfully” – “unable to act willfully”. The distinction was quite logical. Cp.:

(A) “Susan runs down the hill.”

(B) “Water runs down the hill.”

(C) “Susan drinks water.”

A speaker of Proto-Indo-European might have said, learning English: “This is strange – as if these were somehow the same acts or events. ‘Susan runs’, OK, but water does not run – it is dragged down. It does not act, something happens to it.” (And then the PIE-speaker might have speculated that anglophone people have an animistic worldview or so.)

In PIE the subject of a sentence seems to have denoted an actual agens; and there seems to have been a class of nouns for things unable to act willfully, hence unable to be the subject. So that the subject in (A) and (C) would have been a subject in the nominative, denoting an agens, whereas in (B) “water” would not have been seen as subject; the sentence would have been constructed differently and “water” would have been put in the same case as “water” in (C).

Because all over the old IE languages, neuter nouns have the same form for the nominative and the accusative, and it seems to have been rather the form for the accusative: Cp.

Latin masc. nom. sg. ‑us

Latin masc. acc. sg. ‑um

Latin neutr. nom. sg. ‑um

Latin neutr. acc. sg. ‑um

There is further evidence, too.

In principle, the distinction was quite logical, but its application is difficult and gets easily messed up over time until the old semantic distinction has become a mere formal one.
Czech has essentially four grammatical genders: In addition to the masculine, feminine and neuter, there is also masculine inanimate which shares some characteristics with the neuter such as having identical forms for the nominative and accusative cases.

But Slavic languages are very much a different part of the Indo-European family with most of them having bucked the trend of dropping declension of nouns and adjectives (Bulgarian has largely lost its declensions).
