Or even from using truly† recyclable materials like aluminum. If we weren't so obsessed with seeing the liquid inside of containers, many things could be converted to use aluminum.

Fun fact, the creative team who did Lain was working on a show called Despera but it was cancelled when the director died. Apparently it's likely to come out in a few years under a new director as it was near fully funded right before Covid hit:

Substack is super great. Just paying for it is not the same as paying for a NYTimes subscription however people would like to spin it.

You're right, in a lot of cases substack writers can be more transparent about their conflicts of interest and aren't beholden to censors who kill stories that might upset NYT readers or writers.

Well. It would reduce it to 1 (PtrTo) instead of [however many]. And unless they also add a new top-level func like that, it's still a `package.PtrTo` rather than `&`. And `&`'s special abilities on only composite literals remains.
While I like the idea of Rust, having to (re)-learn all these subtleties seems daunting (just look at the table comparing dyn vs. box vs. arc vs. references etc.)

When I moved to Java 1.0, coming from C/C++, I hated the performance loss but happily traded that for a garbage collector.
Typically, when the code compiled, it ran.

Now with Rust I'm wondering how much time practitioners spend on analyzing compiler errors (which is a good deal better than analyzing heap dumps with gdb).
And do you get to a place where your coding naturally avoids gotchas around borrowing?

You claim that it is in the interest of an ARM CPU vendor that wants to buy ARM to cut ARM's R&D and sell it for parts after buying it.

What's the rationale of this claim? (you don't say)

I'd expected that ARM CPU vendors are interested in having "great" CPUs to sell and having as big of an ecosystem as possible.

So my expectation would be that NVIDIA would significantly increas - not cut - ARM's R&D budget, and will significantly invest in the ARM platform.

On top of this, NVIDIA apparently is trying to cut its reliance on Intel and AMD CPUs. I don't see how cutting ARM's R&D budget and stripping it for parts would allow them to reach that goal.

This is the opposite of what you claim.
The interview responses seem to be out of touch. No mention of AMD or Ampere, which are arguably eating Intel's lunch in this exact industry space. Just a focus on the "customer opportunity" and "revenue opportunity".

Almost textbook "This is Fine" while the house is on fire and burning down.
Are you admitting to supporting a terrorist group?
First off, that argument cuts both ways - you could equally say that the people arguing Twitter or Facebook can deny some customers but a bakery should accept all customers are displaying cognitive dissonance. But I would argue that the two situations are actually not comparable. There are lots of alternative choices available for a random bakery. But there are no alternatives available for big tech companies. They are protected from competition due to network effects or due to their sheer size. They operate the public digital town square, but are not subject to regulation like utilities are. They carry almost all societal speech today, and their censorship is as powerful as when a government does it, but they are still not required to implement any of the rules (the Constitution) that apply to our government. Big tech is not operating in a healthy environment of market competition.

Engaging with an argument validates it? That doesn’t make sense to me.

Gish gallop was invented to categorize the specific style of politicians and charlatans that will throw out myriad claims to dismantle and confuse conversations with too many directions, and to have many of the claims be hard to even refute as they are vague. The vagueness and multi-directionality is the usual marker of it.

I don’t see how these claims are meant to move in diverse directions, or how any isn't relevant, each is a pretty refutable small piece of evidence connected directly to determining the truth of the case here.
Change travels very slowly - some years ago NIST and everybody else's recommendations used to require password rotation, so lots of policies and habits of policy writers/enforcers and educational materials still echo the old recommendations.
A shitty local bank back home truncated without telling you as well. Didn't realize it until they rolled out a mobile app and my password didn't work. After complaining about it, a friend who worked at said bank as a teller said to try truncating to 8 chars and it worked. :rage:

Apparently it was known internally, as they used some ancient system behind the scenes that would only support a max of 8 chars, and the website just truncated your password and passed that on. The new app didn't truncate and would get an error response.

It doesn't feel like it's enough and that's why I came here. I'm going to go take a long walk and rethink what I really want and be honest with myself about whether it's realistic. Thank you.

There's healthy competition between local bakeries. If one refuses you, you can just go to another. Try doing that with the App Store. P.S. I don't believe companies should be able to discriminate based on sexual preference, I just dislike this comparison.

Good karma in all of that. I am not religious, but I do identify with the idea of karma. Accumulate good karma and it does pay off. Or, maybe we do not even realize it and feel we never needed it.

In my experience, even after having made fully sure that they understand the risks involved, "the average person" will happily switch back to a walled garden IM platform the moment the next stupid feature comes in.

Last time it was the (I think Whatsapp?) feature that allows, when replying to a message with an attached picture, to highlight a portion of the attached picture. That's it. There was no network effect at this point whasoever. This pseudo-feature was enough for an adult person to decide to switch back to Whatsapp and fuck my and everyone's privacy. THEN the network effect kicks in in favor of Whatsapp, because of course Whatsapp is a walled garden, so everyone is forced to switch to Whatsapp.

I have seen this already happen several times network-wide and I will see it happen again. Non-walled garden IM networks are just set-up to lose.

But this is my personality. Given repetitive work I become depressed quite quickly. I say this as a 40 yo who understands themselves well. Yes I can struggle through, but this career has brought me to the brink of suicide on two occasions. Working to the grind of an agile development cycle is poison to me, it drains all color from the world. I'd rather break my bones. Where is the space for people of my color? Who dry up and die if asked to write boiler plate crud code and unit tests for fizz buzz UI elements.

Unless I'm solving a problem that's genuinely intellectualy stimulating then I have 0 interest in coding.

Most of us hide the misery because we know that the only outcome of airing it is dismissal either in the short or the long term.

There is no role for us in this career but having sunk so much time into it we have no other option but to keep on going.

The problem with that is that there doesn’t seem to be anything interesting going on, beyond speculative hyper-capitalism. All the problems crypto was going to solve were illusory, or crypto was not a useful tool in solving them. Instead we’ve had years and years of hype and bubbles and solution-looking-for-a-problem but nothing much of any practical value.

The Untold Story of the Biggest Diamond Heist (2009)
Any suggestions about theory learning beyond this?

Something that would help with composition perhaps? Music phrasing? Some book to read? Something for self learning? I wish that melodies I am trying to compose would be better in reflecting what I like in music, and I whish to figure out what is missing.

I can improvise with different chords but it is getting boring and once I try to do something more comlex it doesn't reflect what I like.

I think I am missing something basic and simple but since I had no other option but to learn myself mostly it is probable that I simply wasn't exposed to something essential in theory, something that all good composers know very whell, something that allows experimenting but in a productive way.

May be there is a book that is like a bible for all composers and I simply never heard about it?
This managed to capture a common occurrence when I've tried to learn rust. The compiler spits out a short but seemingly helpful error like this:

warning: trait objects without an explicit `dyn` are deprecated
help: use `dyn`: `dyn Error`

You make the code change it suggests and then you get a longer error message that says what it just told you to do is invalid.

I agree that Obama squandered opportunities and I think Biden is trying to learn from those mistakes. The primary one is believing that Republicans will negotiate in good faith, let alone do anything bipartisan; the obstruction has reached untenable levels.

One interesting thing too is the timeline of super majority - while there was 60 for a bit - wasn't as long as implied or as simple given the geriatrics being out of commission.

now here we go, I had this exact same feeling after doing a contract job recently. I'm going to place this url (https://truzzi.me/hire-me-pay-what-you-want-interesting-work...) into a db and start a site and also add my own profile and... wait, how will this different from linkedin? its like at some point, I need a MOTIVATED programmer that will give me that 24/7 move mountains full effort. Like there is famous James Cameron quote while he was filming 1997 Titanic movie, something about his top professionals needed to play like it was the superbowl. So like how does a company hire that vs. its all on them to make US interested in the project? I'm just playing devils advocate. I think there is a happy medium somewhere.
As an adult? Being involuntarily unemployed at the beginning of my career. Circa 2001. Made about 10 phone calls a day for two months to land a crap job that paid the bills. Worst part? No decent marijuana around.

As a child? Being in love. Circa 15 y/o. No male role models in my life, neglectful home. A recipe for disaster.

Thankfully, I figured all that shit out. IMHO Took longer than it should have (given an optimal setup and looking at my peers), but we all have to play the cards we're dealt.
Let’s imagine that two identical homes are for sale, and it’s a buyer’s market. The owner of home A has contracted with a real estate agent to pay a 1% commission if there’s a sale, and the owner of home B has contracted to pay 2% to a different agent. Both homes have a market value of $1 million. The buyer will pay $1 million for either home, and won’t be willing to pay more for home B just because the seller has agreed to pay their agent more. We can see that the incidence of the agent’s fee is on the seller in this case. Put differently, increasing the agent fee decreased the net worth of the seller after the transaction, not the buyer.

Given different facts, the incidence could be on the buyer. The fact that the buyer is supplying the cash doesn’t tell us who the cost falls on. The buyer could pay by adding more cash or the seller could pay by gaining less cash.

I’m cribbing from the concept of tax incidence here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tax_incidence
I like your attitude on this. I'd have a convo with you and we can see about something to work on.
hese days the only sane way to operate is with password managers and separate 2fa. One single strong password that is only used for accessing the password database. One secure device with the 2fa generation.

From there every site can use a long randomized password. With 16 random characters, pure alphanumeric is more than fine sufficient to be essentially impossible to crack. If one does get compromised, such as by being stored in plaintext, nothing else is. The only way to compromise the user is to compromise the password manager key which should never leave the user's computer.

Yes it does become a master key, but email already acts like that and a well implemented password manager is far better. The alternatives all involve bad passwords, password re-use, and passwords on post-its.
Oof, you missed my point.

I'm not debating that. Just saying it's different.
FWIW, while I appreciate that you can technically pick at the word "all", if--as many people (I think correctly) believe--Parler was ancillary to the coordination (as in, without it existing the riot would certainly still have happened) but Facebook was key to it (as in, without it existing the riot might not have happened), I think the word "all" is appropriate, as that is how the word is used by actual English-speakers... think of the phrase "all of the nutrition in that meal is coming from the side of broccoli".

Regardless, it doesn't seem like Facebook put in these supposed emergency policies anywhere near quickly enough, right? Here is an entire article talking about the nuances of blame here... I just really get the feeling like a big part of what happened with Parler was "big tech" realizing their own culpability and then having to organize around a scapegoat, lest anyone decided to come after them instead.
